TSrCCIAI. TELEOnAM TO Tnc DISrATCH.l
New Florence, November 14. One
of the most disastrous wrecKs that has hap
pened on the main line of the Pennsylvania
Itailroad for several years was that which
occurred early this morning at the water
tank just east of this place.
Whether it was due to the dense fog that
hung like a pall over that section of the
country, or was the fault of the telegraph
operator at Nineveh, has not yet been
officially determined.
No matter where the blame lay two people
were suddenly hurled into eternity, a half
dozen so badly injured that they may die,
while 22 more were more or less hurt.
No. 9 is what is known on the road as the
night train from New York for the AVcst.
At Harnsbnrg a sleeper coming over from
"Washington bv the Northern Central road
is attached. Train No. 7 is composed of a
baggage, express, and passenger coaches,
and folloirs nsht a-"ter No. 9. As stated
abovethevallcvof the Conemaugh was dense
with fog, it being impossible to see a car's
length. Therefore extra precautions were
taken bv the railroad officials, but in this
cac they proved ineffectual.
No. 9 was due at the Nineveh block tower
at 3:1(5, but was nearly an hour late. The
engineer did not see the red signal until he
had passed. Then he went back and getting
his orders proceeded as far as the water
tank just east of New Florence. At this
part of the story comes in the uncertainty
as to just where the blame lay.
KUSXKG CLOSE TOGETHER.
Both trains, it is averred, passed the
Nineveh block tower within ten minutes of
each other. The fog was so dense that the
engineer of the Western express had to feel
for the nozzle of the water tank, and lost
time in that way. A flagman was sent
back, but was met by rushing train No. 7,
and the engine crashed into the AVashington
Pullman sleeper, the Biscay, which was in
the rear.
Harry Bowles, the 20-year-old operator in
the tower at Nineveh, says he showed a red
light, but Engineer McCormick insists that
the light was green. This would mean, so
stys Assistant Supervisor Rogers, of
this section, that the two center
tracks were occupied by freight trains
and that the outside tracks were
clear. Several railroad hands who were
near the block tower at the time agree with
Engineer McCorraick that the green light
was shown. Bowles has only been in the
employ of the railroad company for a short
time and lives at Nineveh, while AlcCor
dick lives just east at Armagh.
Both Engineer McCormick and Bowles
went to Pittsburg on the 10 o'clock train
and were put through a searching examina
tion by the railroad officials.
AS AWrUI. SCENE.
The crash of the engine No. 7 into the
sleeper Biscay was something terrific. She
drove in fully ten feet, and the car was re
duced almost to kindling wood. The noise
was heard for a long distance, and then,
alter a moment's hu-b, came the awful cries
of the wounded. There were ready and w ill
ing bands on the two trains, and soon they
were at work helping those who were
imprisoned in the wreck. The sleeper
Achates, just ahead of the Biscay, was
thrown Ironi the track, but beyond some of
the passengers being bruised there were no
serious casualties. Bed clothing was soon
got out and the wounded made as comfort
able as possible.
Dr. J. A. Fulton is the Pennsylvania
Itailroad Surgeon at New Florence, and he
was one of the first pnvsicans on the scene.
He said it was one or the worst wrecks he
had ever seen. "When I got there," said
he yesterday, "everythins possible had been
been to make the wounded comfortabIe,butI
at once saw that theyinustbemovedtohouscs
so as to get them out of the damp air. Some
were taken to the New Florence Hotel, And
others to private residences. Then aid was
sent for from Nineveh and Johnstown,
and with this assistance came a
lot of sirht'.eers from those places.
The two de id bodies were placed in the
railroad station, and later removed to
Greensburg, the accident having occurred
iu Westmoreland county.
Mr. Minot and Mrs. Angell were killed
outright, being badly crushed. As to
whether any of the others will die, it is hard
to say. Internal injuries are hard to diag
nose hastily.
'There seems to be a general impression
here." continued the doctor, "that Bowles
is responsible for the disaster. Engineer
Frank McCormick is acknowledged to be
one of the most careful engineers on the
road. If he had not seri that green light he
would have stopped. You see he passed the
station sure that the block to New Florence
was clear."
The wreck blocked up the road for about
six hours, but even afier it had been cleared
away the scene was visited by hundreds of
people from the surrounding country.
One of the most remarkable things abont
the accident was tiiat no one on No. 7 train
was injured, except Fireman Pitcairn, who
j was cut about the lace, and Express Agent
Miller. It is feared that he is badly hurt
internally, as the shock of the collision
threw him against a heavy iron safe.
When Superintendent Crump and other
officials reached the scene from the Union
depot the injured were placed on a train
and taken to Pittsburg, except several who
wished to return to their comes in the East,
and whose condition could not bear the
journey.
The following is a list of the killed and
wounded:

MADE A FATAL MISTAKE.
The Western express was due at New
Florence at 5:1(5. On account of a freight
wreck above Johnstown, however, it was 58
minntes late. It was a double-header, and
as only one engine could take water from
the trough between the rails, the train was
slopped at the New Florence plug. It re
quired only a few moments to take water,
hut it was fatal time, and before it could be
regained one of the most serious wrecks in
the history of the Pennsylvania road had
t.iken place. The mail express came up
unsisnalcd. A dense fog obscured the dan
ger lights iu the rear ot the fatal sleeper'
and made useless the lantern of a belated
flagman.
It was supposed by the trainmen of the
Western Express, which is known to rail
roaders as train No. 9, that the operator at
the Nineveh block house would keep the
red light signal before trnin No. 7 until the
ioriner had passed New Florence. Instead
ot that, however, Engineer McCormick de
clares he was given green lights, which
moans to advance cautiously. This, he
claims, he did, but says that ou account of
log he did not know No. 9 was on the track
in front ot him until within a few yards of
disaster. On the other hand, James Boles,
the operator at Nineveh, has declared and
maintains that he is ready to swear that he
had red lights before No. 7 and kept them
there until No. 9 passed the New Florence
block house. It was his duty to do this. He
also gives it as his belief that the engineer of
No. 7 was prevented from seeing the danger
signal on account of fog. AVilh these con
tradictory statements, it is impossible to
learn who is respopsible.
DISOBEYED THE COMPANY HOLES.
One thing alone is definite, and that is
that the llagman of train No. C disobeyed
the company rules in not immediately start
ing back as soon as his train was stopped.
Belying on the Nineveh block house, eow
evcr, lie remained on his train until No. 7
whistled, then grabbing his lantern he
ruhed back, but it was too late. The fog
prevented his signal being seen until the
engine was within a few feet of the flag
man, and that was only a short distance
irom the scene of the trruk. The
brakes were applied, the enginreversed,
but scarcely was it done when the crash
came. Engineer McCormick stuck to his
post. He did not leave the engine until it
had plowed through the entire length of the
sleeping car Biscay. He is uninjured. His
fireman, A. E. Pitcairn, stepped to the edge
of the cab and was thrown out. He is a
relative of Superintendent Pitcairn, and is
siisrntly injured.
The scene at the wreck was harrowing.
There were 20 people in the rear sleeper.
A lew of them bad arisen, but the greater
part were still in their berths. The collision
completely demolished the entire car. The
engine remained on the track and threw the
sides of the car against the banks. In lower
berth No. 9, about the center of the car. was
H. D. Mi not, ol 39 Court street, Boston.
Directly in front of him in lower berth No.
7 was Mrs. S. H. Angell, of 809 Twenty-first
street, Washington. When the crishcame
they were both thrown together. Both ot
their heads were crushed and death must
have bee it instantaneous. A heavy
timber lay across their heads and
was removed with difficulty. Near them
lay Mrs. R. A. DuLaney, a bride of two
days. Her husband, with a severe wound in
his head and another in his side, attempted
to remove an iron bar which pinned his wife
among the debris. He could not do so,
however, and finally gave way to strange
hands, which carried them both to the sta
tion agent's house. Here they were ten
derly cared for, and the fact learned that
they were from Haymarket, Va., and were
going to Wisconsin on their honeymoon.
FIKE QUICKLY QUENCHED.
Scarcely had the wreck occurred when
flames broke forth from the front express
car of No. 7. They were quickly subdued,
and none too soon, for as the last bucketful
of water was thrown in a trunk, a low moan
was heard from under it. A search re
vealed the form of John Miller, the express
man. He was unconscious. The fare had
reached his clothes and blackened a board
on which his hand was resting. Another
minute and cremation would have been
addeil to the horrors of the disaster. As it
is, Miller's life is despaired of.
Aid for the sufferers was quirkly secured.
Dr. J. C. Fulton, of New Florence, was one
of the first on the ground. He was shortly
joined by Drs. C. W. Banks, of Derry; J.
W. Kline, of Derry, and Loriman, of
Johnstown. Drs. Hamilton and Herron, of
Pittsburg, went up on a special train. The
injured were temporarily taken to the New
Florence Hotel, the station house and a resi
dence near the wreck.
STORIES OF PASSENGERS.
NARROW ESCAPES MADE IN THE
WRECKED CAR.
One Man Unconscious Over Three Hoars
Mr. Leslie Tells How a Heavy "Weight
Held Him Down and Injured Ills Back
An Awful Experience.
J. W. Leslie, of Boston, occupied the last
upper berth in the rear car, and how he
escaped as well as he did he can't under
stand. He was the first one struck by the
colliding engine. His back was badly
hurt, but through the help of friends
he started for his home last
evening. In giving his account of the
wreck, he said: ''It was an awful experi
ence, and I cannot begin to describe how I
felt or what I saw. It seemed to me as if
the engine plowed through the entire length
of the car, scattering everything right and
left When the coach was struck it was
turned over on its side, and the
locomotive ripped off the bottom of the
car, taking heels and everything else.
The" people who occupied the lower berths
were the ones injured the worst, and I now
think that upper berths are the safest to
sleep in I was twisted and knotted by the
lorce of the collision. My blanket was
forced over my head and the pillow under
my body. I was conscious through it
all, and then the debris commenced
to fall down on me, some heavy object,
I don't know what it was, suddenly fell on
my back, and slowly pressed me down.
FELT AS IF FLATTENED OUT.
"It seemed to me, as it grew heavier, that
1 would be flattened out. It it naant been
lor the pillow and mattress acting as a
cushion I would have been crashed
death. I don't know how I got out.
"The beautiful cirl that was killed occu
pied the corner berth opposite me. The
sight of her mangled body was the first
thine: that creeted me. I remember when
the porter was making up her berth the
night before she sat in my seat, and I
couldn't help admiring her tall, graceful
form and handsome face. But I. will be
back to Pittsburg again. lam grateful for
the kindness shown me by everybody.
Samuel Galley, of New York, was in the
second car Irom the rear on the ill-fated
train. He received several severe gashes
in his head, and as he told his
tale last evening while lying in bed
at the St. James Hotel, he was afraid
that his skull had been injured. Dr.Herron
assured him that it was not cracked, and he
thought he would be strong enough to start
for New York in the morning. Mr. Galley
related a remarkable story. He said:
"It was about 7 o'clock when the
accident occurred. I remember look
ing at my watch. I had washed my
self and was abont to put on my coat, and
that is all I know. When I was restored
to consciousness it was 11 o'clock.and I found
nivself standing in a common coach that
was on the tram. How I got there I don't
know, but there was nobody in the car.
UNCONSCIOUS FOE A LONO TIME.
"A man saw me standing there And came
up and asked me if I was hart. I must
have been unconscious all the time and was
carried to this car by somebody. I suppose
that as I came, to, I got up." I can't tell
now what struck me. I felt no shock, heard
no noise, but only remember that it was 7
o'clock, and when my senses were
restored three hours had elapsed, ana I was
in another car."
Mr. Kerr, the patent lawyer for the West
inghouse Company, was on one of the for
ward cars. He escaped uninjured, and left
again for New York last evening. Mr.
Kerr said: "I felt the collision and saw the
car begin to rock. I knew what had hap
pened at once, and I expected
to see the coach go over. Every
act of omission and commission in my
life flashed through my mind, and I think
for a moment that I never had been so seri
ous. There was no gaycty among the pass
engers. One and all they alighted from the
train a frightened and very sober crowd, but
when I saw how the rear car was smashed
up, I don't see how anybody escaped."
NOT HIS FIRST WRECK.
MR. COLLINS SURPRISED THAT MORE
WERE NOT KILLED.
The FIremnn Blames the New Florence
Operator The Colliding Engine Run
ning at a High Speed Miraculous Es
capo of a SOO-Foimd Man.
Stephen Collins, ex-Superintendent of
Mails, was also on the train, but fortu
nately for him he was not in the rear
car. He says it was one of the worst wrecks
he has seen, and he has been in more than
one. Mr. Collins says it is remarkable
more people were not killed. Some of the
passengers in his car were thrown from one
end o? it to the other. Mr. Collins was
badly shaken up, but he escaped uninjured.
J.M. R. Binns, of London, couldn't
sleep on account of the blowing of the
whistle. He got up at Altoona, and was
thrown against a window when the wreck
occurred, but he was not hurt. Hesays the
passeugers were very hungry, having been
without food for 17 hours.
THE WRECKED TRAIN'S ENGINEER.
Engineer Jim Doran, of the wrecked
train, said it was one of the worst the road
ever had. He says the colliding train was
running at lull speed. He thinks the
operator either at New Florence or Nineveh
is responsible.
John M. Crane, of New York, occupied a
berth in the car next to "Biscay." He
was thrown ont into the aisle with some of
the other passengers. As soon as they
realized what had happened they went to
work, withouc waiting to dress, to release
the living and dead. The escaping steam
made it very bad to push the wort ot res
cue. Mrs. E. A. Parrish, of Quincy, HI., occu
pied a lower berth in the wrecked car. She
had a hand badly hurt, and was scalded by
escaping steam. "A heavy timber held her
down, but as the car lurched she was able to
release herself, 3nd then she groped her
way out of the steam to the open air.
THEORY OF THE FIREMAN.
Fireman Blachman, of the wrecked train,
holds the operator at New Florence respon
sible. He says the operator gave the block
signal, which he had no right to do.
George von Bonnhnrst was on the train,
but not on the wrecked car. He escaped
unhurt, and was met at the depot by anxious
friends, who congratulated him on his nar
row escape.
M. Welfare, a man from Cleveland,
weighing 200 pounds, was thrown from the
rear end oi the car Biscay to the other
where he alighted and was covered with
debris. His escape was miraculous. He
tells the same story as the other passengers.

letter:
To the Editor or the Sun:
Sir I have read with much interest yonr
recent articles-ln reference to the railway situa
tion west of Chicago and St. Louis. A group
of roads known as the Western and South
western sj stems traverses the most fertile and
the most rapidly doveloptng territory of the
United States. The stock and bonds in these
properties are held by thousands ot investors In
New York and New England and other Eastern
States, the stockholders in some of the corpora
tions numbering aver 12.000 and probably ag
gregating 100,000 stockholders, and upon tbe
prosperity of thce roads many small investors
depend for dividends upon wbicb to live.
bomething over 18 months ago, during a
period of great depres-ion. the three great
banking houses. Jlcssr. Drexcl, Monran it
Co.. Messrs. Kidder, Peabody & Co., anil
Messrs. Broun Bros., invited tbe Presidents ot
these mads to meet at Mr. Morgan's residence.
Tho result of that meeting was the formation
tho so-called "President's agreement," and It
may interest you to know the difference in tbe
net earnings of this group of roids. as be
tween tbe rates which wcro established and
maintained tor several month ?fter that agree
ment, and tbe rates that have prevailed under
the loose disorganized state of affairs that has
existed since tbe agreement was broken, each
road looking out for itself.
I estimate the total number of tons moved
one mile annuall) by this group of roads to be
16.00O,UO0,O"O. Tbe auditor of one of these roads
has furnished me a statement showing tbe dif
ference between tho rates under the "Presi
dent's agreement" and the present rates, which
amounts to a decrease of 1 4-10 mills per ton per
mile. Applying tins difference of 1 4-10 mills
to the 16,000,000,000 gross annual ton. one mile,
gives the startling figure of 22,400,000 annual
decrease in the net earnings of this system of
roads as between their operation under the
'President's agreement" and tbo loose methods
now prevailing.
Under tbe condition of things it is hoped that
the bankers can be induced to call the Presi
dents together again, with tbe assurance that
tbey have the whole mass of investors behind
them. Jay Gould.

THE EXCITEMENT IS KOT ABATING.
A Theatrical Indian Maid Who Says She is
tho Virgin Alary,
AND PROPHESIES WONDERFUL THINGS
fPrEClAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DIRFATCH.l
Standing 'Rock Agency, N. Dak..
November 14. "Bringin the Virgin Mary,"
was the order of the Indian who officiated as
bailiff of the Indian court, of which Chief
John Grass and twoolher Sioux are mem
bers. Out from the murmuring crowd in
the large room came Waltitawin (Scarlet
Woman), the wife of Qikpoga and a mem
ber of AValokpi's band of Sioux. Fearless
ness was the leading element of her attitude,
as she stood gracefully before the railing,
behind which sat tbe agent and his inter
preter, and. looked indifferently at John
Grass and the two other Indians who com
posed the court.
"Who are you and what is your name?"
were the first questions asked her. Draw
ing herself to her full iitature of nearly six
feet, she told her namr.lben bending slightly
forward with her hand pointed upward, she
said in a low tone, with intense earnestness:
"I am the mother of Christ, who is now
upon this earth, making preparation for re
building it. The earth is to belong solely to
his chosen people and this continent is. to
be extended much farther West, taking in a
part of the great sunset ivater.
AN INDIAN RESURRECTION.
"The eastern part of the continent will
be abandoned, all but in tbe western part.
Great herds of buffalo will wander as in the
days of long ago, and srith the disappear
ance of the whites from tbe earth will come
the resurrection of all the Indians who now
sleep, and lorevermore they will wander
over the earth with no one to question their
rights to kill the buffalo. None to say:
'Do this or I will put you iu the guard
house. "
AVith a gesture to attract tbe particular
attentiou of Major McLaughlin, she drew
an imaginary line upon the floor and
stepped over it, saying: "In those days
there will be no reservation, no messenger
irom the Great Father t say to the Indians:
'Come back here and stay on your reserva
tion!' " She continued to expatiate upon the
rosy-tinted dawning of the Indian millen
nium morning until stopped by the court.
She refused to tell anything about the orgie
of the ghost dance, beyond the fact that she
had been proclaimed by the members of the
order to be the Virgin Mary. Pending an
interview with the woman's husband, and
consideration by the court as to tbe dis
posal of her case, she was sent to the guard
house, to which she walked with the air of a
theatrical martyr.
COMING OF THE MESSIAH.
The last case tried by the court lor the
day was that of an Indian who belonged on
the Rosebud Reservation and was wander
ing about among the Indians of Standing
Bock without a pass from the Kosebud
agent or commission from the agent at
Standing Rock. He was supposed to be the
bearer of messages from Indians of the
Kosebud agency relative to the coming of
the Messiah, and when arraigned before the
court and questioned as to his mission, he
explained that his wife belonged to tbe
Standing Bock agency and that he went to
the Kosebud agent and requested a pass to
go visiting his wife's relations, but that the
agent relused to give him permission. Then
he concluded he would come to Standing
Kock to live, and he wished to be taken
upon Major McLaughlin's list
. He was questioned as to his belief in the
coming of the Messiah, and it was found
that he not only believed that the Messiah
was coming, and that he- would bring with
him the buffalo, but he would also have the
power to furnish each Indian with a spring
wagon by a motion of his hand. This man
was sent to the guardhouse to be confined
until morning, when be was to be taken to tbe
line between the two agencies, and after be
ing warned not to return, was to be turned
loose upon his own reservation.
TALK ON THE RELIGIOUS CRAZE.
Major McLaughlin advised the reporter
to interview Gall and John Grass. He said
they could talk more intelligently than any
others on the reservation about the alleged
coming ol the Indian Christ. "They are
the representative men of the Sioux nation,"
he said, "and can give you an excellent idea
of how the Indians feel about this religious
craze."
Sitting Bull haslost caste. At the present
time Gall stands pre-eminently above all
otber Indians in the estimation ot tbe Sioux
and enjoys their confidence. Sitting Bull
is not lond of coming around the agency,
but sticks close to his place on Grand river.
In response to the request sent by a messen
ger, Gall and John Grass came to the
agent's office to meet the reporter, and with
the assistance of Louis Primeau, the cele
brated interpreter, there was a lengthy con
versation. Gall treated the matter very seriously, and
slowly said: "I listen since this excitement
has come upon my people; I sit and listen,
and wonder if these things can be possible.
AVhen they tell me that the buffaloes are
coming back, and that there is to be a resur
rection of our fathers, I shake my head.
They tell me that the Messiah can make
spring wagons with a motion of his hand.
I think this cannot be. But sometimes I
think of the wonderful things which white
men believe in their religion, and I am not
so sure that these Indians are wrong.
APOLOGIZING FOE HIS TEIBE.
"I went to the office of a St. Paul paper
and talked through a machine to someone a
long way off, and since then I cannot say
that anything is impossible. Your people
believe that in the beginning of the world
wonderful things were done by men. The
Indians believe that in the future wonderful
things may be done by men. It seems to me
that the Indians are not justly to be ac
cused of being crazy for believing that what
has happened once may happen again.
"1 listen lor men to say that the Indians
are crazy. But I take no part in the dance
and 1 do not lend my sanction to it. The
Indians want the good old times most of
tbem know only by tradition, without stop
ping to think how much better tbey are
now than if the Government "ere to with
draw its support. To-day 140 cattle were
killed here and distributed among the
people. This shows to me that the Govern
ment does not want the Indians to starve."
John Grass is considered by many to be
the brightest and most intelligent Sioux.
Grass is a .skeptic in regard to the religious
craze, and does everything in his power to
throw discredit upon the ideas of the myth
ical ghost dance. The attempts to suppress
the excitement by the slight punishment ot
those who become too demonstrative, seem

ADDRESSES BEFORETHECOUNTY TEACH.
ERS' INSTITUTE.
Learned Professors From Numerous State
Normal Schools Entertain and Instruct
the Local Teachers-State Superintend
ent Waller Present-A Visit to the Cook
ing School.
The attendance last night at the opening
session of the Teachers Institute, at the
First M. P. Church, was a representative
body of the public instructors, and citizens
who wish to know how their children are
getting along in the fight for education.
Music was furnished by the pupils of the
Soho schools, the little folks making the
church ring with their choruses. Prof.
Luckey, of the Pittsburg schools, presided,
and introduced the several speakers.
Dr. G. M. Phillips, of Westchester, was
slated to tell "How the AVorld is Governed,"
and the history he gave of the governments
and their progress was interesting in the ex
treme. At present there are only three abso
lute monarchies, of which Russia is the
most noted.
Dr. Phillips said that it was in the thir
teenth century that England began to secure
her more liberal government and it was that
government at terwhich all others have been
modeled. "The monarch ol Great Britain
has not as much power as the President of
the United States," said the speaker. "Not
since the first part of the eighteenth century
has a monarch in that country dared veto a
bill passed by Parliament. The Queen is
merely an expensive figurehead maintained
at a cost of $3,000,000 annually. The real
power iu England is Parliament, and espe
cially in the House of Commons."
The speaker said that it only requires
three for a quorum in the House of Lords
and 40 in the House of Commons, and for
that reason it is not difficult to count a
quorum.
AN UNSOLVED PROBLEM.
"Educational Problems" were theoreti
cally solved by Prof. Z. X. Snyder, of In
diana, but he could himself see 'plainly that
the problems await a practical solution, in
Pittsburg 20 or 25 per cent of the children
of school age are not to be found in the
schools. In some other cities 35 or 40 per
rent fail to report for school. In many
places GO per cent do not go beyond the pri
mary departments. At another town, name
not mentioned, 82 per cent fsil to get beyond
the first steps, and in still another the figure
reaches 92 per cent. Prof. Snyder said that
the only solution can be compulsory educa
tion. Many consider that reading, writing
and arithmetic are all there is in an educa
tion, while some others think that it in
cludes French, German and history.
Superintendent Luckev, in introducing
the next speaker, Dr. D. J. Waller, State
Superintendent ol Education, said that there
is an army of 1.000,000 school children iu
the State, with captains, colonels and gen
erals, and that the conimander-in-chiet was
present.
The speaker stepped forward, and with a
tired smile said: "Ten days ago there was
an election, and some of us have not forgot
ten it." This caused somewhat of a broad
laugh to break out and envelop the entire
assembly. He proceeded further to say that
it was considered a revolt against bossism.
He then took up the question of civil service
and spoke of Pennsylvania's position in the
standing of examinations. In Massachu
setts the per cent of failures was 31 and in
Pennsylvania it was 32. Iu Ohio 37 per
cent failed to pass and in New York 43 per
cent were failures. Of the applicants nine
tenths had only common school educations.
In closing he said he has hopes that Penn
sylvania will rapidly advance and stand
first rather than second in the column of
education.
AN AFTERNOON TRIP.
An old but truthful adage is "The way to
a man's heart is through his stomach," and
Superintendent George Luckev, realizing
the importance of the lact, took the visiting
principals of the various State Normal
Schools to the cooking school the very first
place in showing them the sights of the city
yesterday afternoon. The distinguished
gentlemen were all very much interested in
the teaching of Miss Ballou and were not at
all adverse to tasting some of tbe results of
tbe teaching.
From there the party, some 12 in number,
was driven to the Normal School on Miller
street, where the various departments were
visited under tbe chaperonage of Miss
Jennie Kalston, the brilliant principal.
The work in the training departments was
especially interesting to the visitors, and the
teachers were complimented highly upon
the marked superiority of their methods of
teaching the little folk's. From the NormSl
School the party was driven to No. 14 engine
house, where tbe entire proceedings in case
ot a fire were gone through with for their
benefit. A further drive out through the
East End gave the educators qnite an idea
of Pittsburg and a decided appetite for the
banquet at tbe Hotel Scblosser that preceded
the Institute in the evening. The learned
men were profuse in the expression of their
appreciation of Pittsburg, its schools, its
people, and its cooking.
UNION PACIFIC VICTORIOUS.
All Eastern Connecting lines Except the
Burlington Gives In.
Chicago, November 14. The contro
troversy between the Union Pacific and
Eastern connecting lines was the one subject
under consideration at to-day's meeting of
the Western and Northwestern divisions of
the AVestern Freight Association. A vote
of the members showed that every road, with
the solitary exception of the Burlington,
was at last rcadv to back down and accept
the terms of the Union Pacific.
Then arose the important question as to
whether action in this direction could be
taken under the agreement without absolute
unanimity. The discussion was an animated
one and temporarily threatened to wreck the
association. Serious consequences,however,
were averted, for the time at least, by an
agreement to refer tbe whole matter to
Chairman Osgood, with a request that he
submit a ruling on the subject to-morrow
morning. The Burlington people say that
even it the Union Pacific succeeds in forcing
the new divisions on its Omaha annexations,
the Burlington and Missouri Kiver line
will continue to exchange traffic with the
lines east oi the river on the old basiB.

through the above misunderstanding, they
have been erroneously connected.
"ASSAD FAEAN.
"Witnesses P. L.McDeruiot,W.Burdett
Coutts." OFFICIAL bepoet of bonnt.
Bonny's official report is dated from the
Arab village Unana. Aruwimi river, July,
1888. In this Bonny says that after Stanley
lelt, the Arabs followed him closely, at
tacking the villages as Stanley departed
and capturing natives. He does not
know whether Stanley was cognizant of this
or not. In describing the advance of the
rear guard, Bonuy says that the offi
cers concluded that Stanley was
dead at one time, and for an un
known reason their thought ot changing
their plan was abandoned. There was also
difficulty about sending a cablegram home
conveying their plans, Barttelot rather de
siring to be recalled. J.iraeson was very
cross at the delay, fearing a recall.
"Iu giving the details of the expedition
and tbe strength, which was 553 carriers,
he says there were only 473 loads made up,
and he asks why 79 were unemployed.
Jameson says he does not know, but
he and Barttelot were hand and glove.
Now Barttelot is dead and Jameson
wants to command, but I am doubtful of
allowing him. I, experienced in command
ing Zanzibar's and Soudanese, shall cer
tainly retain the command of these men
until I see Stanley or return to the coast,
while Jameson supervises the Manyuema
and the stores."
BLUSTER AND BAD MANAGEMENT.
Bonny describes the march from Yambuya
to Unaria, and says the constant delays
were due to bluster, swagger and bad man
agement. Jameson was continually per
suading Barttelot to allow the Manyuemas
to take long halts. Then Barttelot lost the
road, but was unwilling to admit it, and
returned to Stanley Falls.
"I did hot see hun," Bonnr continues,
"from the 23d of June to the 17th of July.
This entailed 20 days' delay." Bonny
then recounts the serious losses of
arms and stores throngh theft and
desertion until Bartelot returned, while
during the 24 days Bonny was in .
command they never lost a man or a load
and they traveled quicker. Bonny relates
the circumstances of Barttelot's death and
the reasons therefor practically as before.
He says the Major lacked sufficient powers
to discover when he was pleasing and when
insulting. The Arabs could buy and sell
him at their pleasure.
IN DANGER OF THE KNIFE.
It was a wonder he was not knifed at
Yambuya. Bonny adds: "The Major
threatened to return to Stanley Falls tor
reinforcements unless Abdullah procured
slaves. Then he wanted me to go
ten miles ahead with the Zanzi
bar and Soudanese,he and Jameson follow
ing with tbeothers. tie begged me toprocu-e
slaves, if only 20, to avoid returning to the
Falls. Abdallah had promise'd me seven,
but refused to deal with the Major.
Dealing with the scenes on the day of the
Major's death, Bonny's narrative differs
from his statement on the 10th inst, and it
is evident that in his official report
he desired to hide the Major's
provocation. He says that Barttelot
was on the point of striking the woman
when Songa shot and killed him. In other
respects the story is the same. Bonny says
the loads got scattered all oer the district
They were looted, but eventually they
collected all except 48 of them.
He dwells on the difficulty of keeping
order in a village containing 1,000 natives,
900 of whom were cannibals: and who were
in a state of general stampede following the
exciting events mentioned.
BONNY TAKES COMMAND.
Bonny now takes command under the
letter of instructions Barttelot wrote at
Yambuya when his life and the camp were
in great danger. He incidentally remarks
that Jameson bad gone to the falls to nego
tiate with Tippoo for another leader of the
Manyuemas and had free hands,
believing himself in command. He
(Bonny) aid not undeceive him until he re
turned. Bonny adds: "Reviewing recent
events, I conclude that Barttelot's mind
was affected. His grinning and other
actions showed there was something wrong."
This concludes the letter to Stanley. A
postscript giving the itinerary and an
account ot the loads carried is added.
In Bonny's letters from the same
place to Barttelot's father, dated in
August, he apologizes for tbe brevity of his
former note, announcing the Major's death,
on the ground that he desired to open com
munication with Tippoo Tib and the Congo
State quickly, tearing a rising in the camp,
In telling of Major Barttelot's bringing
chains from Stanley Falls for slaves, he
says: "You may not like to hear this, but
the facts are in the possession of the Congo
State antborities, and it is best lor
you to be prepared to meet any
statement." He here describes the
death and burial of Barttelot precisely as
he did to Stanley. In concluding, he de
scribes tbe trial and execntiou of Songa,
expresses tbe belief that Barttelot was in
sane and gives an account of Stanley's ar
rival. A BIG SUIT COMMENCED.

A SILENT WARNING.
Mysterious Pamphlet Found by the Czar In
His Private Apartments,
inr duklaf's cable company.
St. Petebsbuhg, November 14. A sen
sation has been created in this city by an in
cident which has just happened to
the Czar. jHe found on a table in his pri
vate apartments an anonymous pamphlet,
which called his attention, in a quiet and
convincing manner, to the necessity of pro
viding a constitntion for Russia. The tone
of the argument was perfectly dispassionate
and calm, and the writer advised the Czarto
get rid of his present advisers, who, he said,
are interested for their own personal ends in
keeping him in ignorance of the desires of
his people and tbe opinions and sentiments
which prevail throughout his dominions.
-It is believed that if the Czar is in any
degree amenable to reason, and is not so
weakeued in mind and character by fear
and the overriding wills of those about him
that he is incapable of independent thought,
this pamphlet cjnnot fail to make some im
pression upon him; but it is doubted if any
thing will ever move him from bis position
of frightened hate toward the people.

PLAYFAIR ON PROTECTION.
A British Statesman Tears the SIcKlnley
Bill to Tatters.
By Associated l'ress.3
London, November 14. In his speech to
his constituents at Leeds to-night upon the
new- United States tariff legislation, Rt.
Hon. Sir Lyon Playfair, after giving tbe
tariff history of the United States, said that
the promoters of the McKinley bill sought
to prove that the measure was needed id
order to equalize the difference between the
higher wages ot the United Slates and
the lower wages of Europe, but their argu
ment would not bear examination. There
is no intimate connection, be said, between
the tariff and wages. As a whole, wages in
America had already been reduced under a
high tariff, and there seems to be no ten
dency to raise them. AVages are highest
in the non-protected indnstries, and
lowest in the protected ones. He declared
that Canada would be able to supply Great
Britain with all the food she now got from
the United States. In less than 25 years
the United States will have no surplus food
to send, so it is to England's interest to aid
in developing Canadian husbandry.
Referring to the American meat inspec
tion bill. Sir Lyon declared that the empow
ering of the President by Congress to boy
cott nations was a brntem fulmen, unworthy
of a great nation. The boycott had never
hitherto been recognized 'by international
law. He' considered that the reciprocity
clause in tbe McKinley bill had the same
direction, but a deeper meaning. It was a
safety valve to prevent the high pressure
from blowing up protection.
SHIP DOCTOES DirFER.
London Lord George Hamilton, First
Lord of the Admiralty, has authorized the
Controller of the Navy to flatly deny Ad

pent was amply strong enough to bear the
strain of her engines. He says the com
mander doubtless lost his course and tbe
vessel was wrecked before be became aware
of his whereabouts. Captain Burnarbv,
tbe designer of tbe Serpent, says that the
construction of shoddy ships is impossible
in the British navy. The vessels of the Ser
pent's class, he says, are safe, but uncom
fortable for the crew.

Parnell, the co-respondent in the case. It
is rumored that Mr. Parnell will appear be
fore the court and conduct his own case in
person. Captain O'Shea, the plaintiff, will
produce 30 witnesses in his support. Mrs.
Steele, sister of Mrs. O'Shea, says that no
matter how the case ends, she is determined

J wo Mexican l.adie3
OP SOME COSTLY D1AM0XD JEWELEI
rrrxciAt. tilipbam to tui nisrATcitt
Newbukg, N. Y., November 14. The
sensational case, which is the outcome of
tbe alleged diamond robbery in the summer
hotel at Cornwall, kept by Miss Bertha K.
Doane, came to an end to-day in Judge
Barnard's court here and was won by Miss
Doane. It will be remembered that two
Mexican ladies named Senora Anita Pohl
and Senorita Ana Castaneda Najira, both
said to be wealthy residents of New York,
were stopping at Miss Doane's house.
During their stay they claimed to have been
robbed of $4,000 worth of diamond jewelry,
taken from their rooms. Soon after this,
one Gustaf A. Anderson, of New York, ap
peared on the scene.
A SEARCH WARRANT ISSUED.
It is supposed to have been through him
that a search warrant was procured from
Justice Denniston to search the person and
the private room of Miss Doane for the
missing jewelry. By doing this, Miss
Doane claimed to have suffered grave indig
nities. Then she brought suits against the
Mexican ladies and Anderson to recover
$5,000 damages in each case for alleged libel
and the disgrace that was heaped upon her.
On Monday tbe cases against the Mexican
ladies went over the term, and to-day, as
stated, after the finest legal sparring and the
spiciest testimony, the suit against Ander
son was brought to a close. He is a young
fellow, with a blonde mustache and light
hair, which he parts in the middle. The
Mexican ladies, who were also in court, are
ot dark complexion, neatly dressed and were
deeply interested in the trial. Anderson if
said to be a Swede.
In opening the case for Miss Doane,
Colonel Dickey claimed that the Mexican
ladies were alter notoriety, inasmuch as
tbey had, he said, claimed to have been
robbed of their diamonds twice while at the
Bay View House, and been shot at on the
highway by unknown parties.
I.OVE OF SENSATIONALISM CHARGED.
He said that Mis Doane was not only
compelled to disrobe while the search was
being made, but obliged even to take down
her back hair. It w.is shown that the dia
monds had been purchased in Mexico by
Senorita Najira's lather lor her mother, and
had been in the family since her birth.
Counsel also tried to introduce the subject
of the Senorita being shot at and to show,
as he said, the love she had lor sensation,
but the Court would not permit it. The
Court held that the warrant under which
the search was made was worthless and the
jury conld not help giving Miss Doane a
verdict, and they did, saying her damages
amounted to $2,500.
Senorita Najira, whose diamonds caused
the lawsuit, is said to be a daughter of
Maximilian's Prime Minister, who owned
large estates in Mexico, the Castenado Castle
in the City of Mexico, which was sold last
week to a Mexican syndicate, being a part
of them.
