SLAIN AT A CROSSING. A Trnin Untahi'* Into a Street t ar In t'hlcago. Rilling Three I’cmona anil Injuring .Many. Chicago, July 18.—Going at the rate of 30 miles an hour the New York express on the Chicago it Grand Trunk railroad ran into a heavily loaded South Halsted street car at Forty-ninth and South Halsted streets at 5:25 o’clock Monday afternoon. Three people were killed and ten injured seriously. Several people were slightly injured and the driver of the street car is supposed to be wandering about crazed by the calamity of the people in his charge. It is expected that at least one of the injured will not recover. Those dead are Grace Hunt, of La Salle, 111; Thomas I’erkins, 5531 Green street, and John Finn, a plumber, Chicago. Tlie south-bound Halsted street car, the open style, was crowded and men were standing on the footboards. It was in charge of Conductor Frank Barnett and Driver Charles Stalneckcr. At Forty-ninth street is a network of tracks and the crossing has always been regarded asadangerousone. A long freight train going west had just passed and the towerman, George Barnett, had raised the gates. This was taken as a signal that the way was clear and Stalneckcr whipped up ids horses as he started to drive across tlie tracks. Previously, however, Conductor Barnett, a son of the towerman, had gone ahead, and not being able to see tho approaching passenger train because of the freight, lie motioned tlie driver to go ahead. As the car passed on the level 50 feet space between the two double tracks Barnett noticed a cloud of smoke arising above the freight train to the west. He told the driver, Stalneckcr, to stop Ids horses. Stalneckcr did not seem to understand him and whipped his team into a run to avoid the train he soon saw was upon him. The team and forward part of the car had passed tlie last -track in safety when tlie swiftly-moving train crushed into tlie rear end and platform. Many passengers hud seen the train at tho last moment and had tried to jump from the car. Conductor Barnett devoted his time to picking up women and children who fell from the ear and was not on the ear when tlie engine tftruck it. The ear, broken into many pieces, buried those who had been riding in it and as tlie passenger train plunged ahead there were many cries of pain and agony to be heard. Under the car was the body of a woman, identified as Miss Grace Hunt, and seriously injured. At one side was tin* mangled body of Finn, a plumber, supposed to be employed by Boyle. Finn’s head was crushed and his body cut iu two, probably by tlie ears. Tlie other occupants of the open ear were piled in a heap to the east of the wreck. The Grand Trunk train of seven coaches, with Fireman William Campbell and Engineer T. A. Jones in charge, came to a stop within a train's length after striking the street car. As there was no occasion for slacking speed at the crossing the train was going rapidly, it is said at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Policemen from the Forty-eighth street station got on the cab of the engine after the accident and accompanied the engineer and fireman iwiil allowed them to take their train into the depot After that both men were taken back to the station and locked up. In addition to the Grand Trunk engineer and fireman under arrest there were at the station last night and under arrest the street-ear conductor and the flagman. BY THE WHOLESALE.

The assets of the Rocky Mountain dime and dollar savings bank are $156,803.53; liabilities, $105,654.82.

WHO IS HE? After Ill-lot; Known for Year, mi Ilr-.n Benton » Demented C'rrntare Claim, to He William Newby, and I, trying to Secure a Pension Kvidenre la a Remarkable Case at SprtugHelil, 111. Springfield, UL, July 18.—The case of the United States vs. Daniel Benton, which is on briul in the federal court here, is one of the most remarkable that has ever been tried in Illinois, if not in tne United States, and since the trial was entered upon the middle of last week it has been the principal topic of conversation *in nearly all circles in this city. The ease is a criminal prosecution against Daniel Benton, who is under indictment for personating William Newby, a union soldier who for a period of twenty-nine years was supposed to have been killed in the battle of Shiloh and buried on the field two days later by comrades. The prisoner is known as “Rickety Dan” Benton, and he is a physical wreck, and the story of this most romantic case is being unfolded in the

trial.

The government, which rested on Friday last, examined forty or fifty witnesses and seemed to have made out an overwhelming case, buti the defense is now proceeding, and matters are becoming decidedly mixed. Tlie government first has Newby dead and buried; thru it takes up the boy, “Rickety Dan” Benton, at the age of say 6, 0 or 8 years, with his mother, Lydia Benton. He is traced from White county, 111., into Tennessee, where he and his mother were taken by one Andy Wooten. There Dan grew up, drifting away occasionally, but only for short periods. He was known to the people of the neigh txirhood, and so was his mother Lydia. •Finally he was sent to the penitentiary at Nash- , ville for horse stealing and remained there for twelve years. All this time he was Dan Benton. He left the penitentiary in 1889. Afterwards he was aw inmate of many poorhouses in Tennesee, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. In these he was registered as Dan Benton. There is no conflict of testimony as to these facts. They were proved absolutely! In one of these poorhouses he seems to have become enamored of a female inmate, now known as Hannah Stewart. They left the institution together and became tramps. They did not marry, but she bore him two children. One of these was a son and was named Dan. Ho is “rickety” like his father. Both mother and son are here and testified for the government. The prisoner was always known to botli as Daniel Benton. The mother visited Dan in the penitentiary from time to time, where he was, as elsewhere, Dan Benton. She furthermore t»*stitled that lie told her that his mother’s name was Lydia Lucinda Benton. The theory of the defense is in brief ! that Newby was not killed and buried at Shiloh, as lias been supposed by all who knew him for thirty years. He was only desperately wounded in the head and leg. He was taken by rebels from tlie field, and finally placed in Andersonville prison, where lie became known us “Crazy Jack.” In course of time lie was released, a demented, “riekety" man. He became a wanderer and drifted about the country, an inmate of the poorhouses and of the Tennessee penitentiary, just as Dan Benton. Thus he passed his time for a quarter of a century until he finally got into the White county poorhouse. Then his reason partially returned and he came to realize that he was Newby. He went out among his old neighbors, and declared himself. Be recognized old friends and talked in such a manner of old times that he convinced many of them. It must be so, they urged, for nobody but Newby would know tilings he spoke of. ; Koine members of the Newby family, I including his old wife, who had long - been drawing a pension on his account, received him as genuine. Finally lie himself made application for an original pension and then his troubles commenced. An investigation of his case resulted in establishing his identity to the satisfaction of tlie government officials as “Rickety Dan” Benton and his arrest and indictment followed. Thus far the defense has examined sixty-five witnesses. They are Newby’s relatives, old friends and comrades, and many of them are testifying very positively as to the identity of the prisoner. Most of them, but not all, knew Newby before the war. Those who had known him were called upon to describe his personal appearance at the time he enlisted in the army. Tliey attempted to do so, but crossed each other a good deal. Some described him as a powerfully-built, sandy-eoni-plexioacd nan, which he was if ins own brothers and sisters remember him right; others described him as a large man, with dark eyes, dark hair and dark complexion. The prisoner is tall, slender and very dark. Asked if tliey believed the prisoner at tlie liar to be Newby, all the witnesses declared that they did. The prisoner, if he is really Newby, is understood to ho entitled to a pension ami arrearages amounting to about *22.000. *8 fringe HELD, 111., July 18.—The most interesting testimony yet given for the defense in tlie Newby trial was given Monday by ex-union soldiers, some of whom had stood with Newby on the field of Shiloh and others ’who had seen a demented wreck in the prison of Andersonville, who was known as “Crazy Jack," and whom tliey unhesitatingly identified with the prisoner at the bar. ■If'KtH tliD 1 * i cuoii Record.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL D[SC0VERY. DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He lias tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. A benefit is always experienced from tlie first bottle, and a’perfect cure is warranted when tlie right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with tlie Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. If tlie stomach is foul or bilious it will cau^e squeamish feelings at first. No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it. Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bedtime, and read tlie Label.
