XEWS FEOM THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS
London', Nov. 2. The express train from
Edinburgh ran into a freight train heavily
laden with iron this morning, near Thirsk,
in Yorkshire. The result is many persons
killed and a large number injured. The
coaches caught fire and were destroyed. The
lastcst news is that more bodies have been
found in the wreckage. It is certain that
13 persons were killed.
The accident is said to have been due to a
dense fog which prevented the engineer of
the express train from seeing ahead for any
distance, bat the passengers say a signal
man bad iailcn asleep.
The 3Iariiuis of Tweeddale and the Mar
quis or Huntley, the latter a Lord-in-wait-iug
to Queen Victoria, were on board the
train. The Marquis of Tweeddale escaped
uninjured, and although an elderly gentle
man, he did active service in assisting to
rescue others. The Marquis of Huntley
was bruised and had a thumb broken, but
suffered no other injury. Captain Duncan
McLcod, of the Forty-second Highlanders,
is among the killed.
A tableman's Account of It.
In an interview, the Marquis of Tweeddale
said that at the time of the accident the ex
press train was traveling 60 miles an honr.
The ireight train was going slow. If it bad
been stationary the results ot the collision,
in view of the enormous weight and power
ot resistance, would bave been far more
serious The shock was severe, smasning
the engine and tender ot the express train
and the carriage next to them, but the
parlor car, in which the Marquis of Tweed
dale and the Marquis of Huntley were sit
ting withstood the shock, although its for
ward end was knocked off The passengers
in the parlor coach were all asleep when the
collision occurred. It was a marvel that
they all escaped as well as they did.
Among the killed are the driver of the
freight train and the fireman of the ex
press train. Tne thigns of the driver of
the express train were smashed. The Mar
quis added that the people in the Pullman
were pretty thoroughly lnghtened when
they were awakened by the crash. When
they got out they found themselves amid
a terrible wreck. The engine and tender
were doubled back upon the first carriage
and the I'ulRuan car forming one heap,
which took fire from the red hot coals trom
the engine furnace. The carriage behind
the Pullman car was broken.
31 cl Death, in Pitch Dark.
The accident occurred at 3:50, and the
night was pitch dark. The Marquis said he
saw several ot those who had been killed
lying by the rails. The bodies he saw
v, ere less mutilated than might have been
expected, considering the bad nature of the
wreck. He saw the body of a mau terribly
mangled, crushed under the Pullman
coach. A rescuing party was trying to ex
tricate the body when the Marquis left.
Besides the Marquis of Tweeddale and
the Marquis of Huntley there were in the
Pullman coach General Lainbton and Mr.
Kynoch, a railway director. lady Stewart
v us in another carriage. All got a severe
shaking up. The Marquis of Tweeddale,
together with the Marquis of Huntley and
a number of other paiseugers, came from
the wreck on a special train. The Marquis
of Huntley got off the train at Peterbor
ough. He seemed to feel more severely
than the others the effects of the shock".
The Marquis of Tweeddale came direct to
London.
Among the dead is Captain Duncan Mc
Leod, ot the Forty-second Highlanders, who
was proceeding to Australia. Many of the
injured were also bound lor Australia and
India.
Tlio full man Trovrs Its Strength.
The official report of the killed places the
number at ten. The signal man, who was
charged with being asleep at his post, has
been suspended trom duty pending an in
vestigation. The escape of the occupants
of the wrecked Pullman car was little short
ol miraculous. The wheels were torn oft,
but the body of the coach stood the crash
with but little damage.
Pinioned beneath the huge engine the
rescuing party saw a woman. She was in
great agony and screaming lor help. They
were powerless to help her. Before their
ees flames envelope J her, and she was
burned to death and her body reduced to
ashes. The distracted husband of the poor
victim appealed piteously to the would-be-helpers
to save his wife. One passenger
says that he awoke suddenly with vague
forebodings of evil, and gave his valuables
to his wile. Immediately after the crash
came, and both were thrown beneath the
carriage and badly injured.
The fire burned fiercely until noon, when
the flames were gotten under control. The
occupants of one carriage were imprisoned
by debris and were in great peril. They could
set- the flames slowly approaching, and suf
fered from the increasing heat Terrified
beyond measure, they shrieked continually
lor help. They were rescued lrom their
horrible position in the nick of time. The
engineer of the express train, himself badly
injured and held down by the debris, im
plored the rescuers to save the passengers
and not mind him.

With a Reprimand.
PARIS, Nov. 2. Mrs. Deacon iras de
feated in her bill on her husband for a
divorce. Mr. Deacon was on hand when
the case came up and confronted his wife in
the tribunal of the Seine.

severely censured her for having made
frivolous charges against her husband with
the object of procuring a divorce while her
self under charges of the gravest character.
The Court cave orders that the child, now
in a convent where it had been placed by
Mrs. Deacon, should be delivered to Mr.
Deacon. The latter position of the Court's
decree was a crushing blow for Mrs. Deacon,
who seemed deeply affected and looked
appealingly at her husband. ,It was all the
more crushing because entirely unex
pected, as Mrs. Deacon had supposed that
the most that would be done would be to
dismiss the case and leave the whole issue

AMERICAN ARMOR PLATE
Tested in England and round to Bo Better
Than Any Other.
London, Nov. 2. The admiralty has
made at Portsmouth a thorough test of ar
mor plates made by the Harvey system,
with very encouraging results. Eminent
naval officers were present, and Messrs.
Fox and Dickinson represented the Harvey
Company, of New York.
The plates stood the shock of the heavy
projectiles remarkably well. Not a crack
was produced an unprecedented result in
armor experiments here. The tests com
pletely verified the American reports of
previous tests conducted by the United
States Government, aud established the
success ot the Harvey hardening pro
cess. This is the first test in Europe,
though Russia is also preparing for a test.
Further trials will be made atPortsmonth,
tests being made of thinner plates with a
view to refitting obselete clads.

The Liberal Journalist's Solution of tho
English Agricultural Problem.
London, Nov. 2. In the issue of Truth
to-day, Henry Labouchere proposes .n he
roic remedy for the depression in the agri
cultural industry in Great Britain. He
says that he would allow every parish to
appropriate the laud of non-occupying own

village bonds. The lands thus acquired
should be let to tenants by the parish.
No such bold scheme as confiscation has
ever been propounded by other leading pol

STRAIGHT STAGE TIPS.
The throe great acting dogs, "Tiger,"
"Lion" and "Spot," will appear with tho
Lconzo Brother-" in "Aveneed" at the
World's Museum-Theater next week. 'The
Blacksmith's Revenge" is doing a nice busi
ness there this week.
Next week the favorite sensational play,
"The Waifs of New York," will bo presented
at Harris' Theater. Theeompany is com
posed of good dramatic and specialty peo
ple, and the scenic and mechanical effects
are marvels of stage realism.
The usual great crowds are again to bo seen
at Harry Davis' popular house. Tho man
with the magnetic hair excites a great deal
of comment and the variety show makes
everybody laugh. Mr. Davis' comic opera
company will go out next week.
Ik "The Police Patrol," whioh comes to
the Grand Opera House next week, tho pa
trol wagon, iho horses and the men using it
are said to be the genuine thing, fresh lrom
Chicago, and tho btory told in the play is
based on actual occurrences. The drama is
described by a Iriendly writer as a "siinplo
but a connected story of police life, illus
trating the various localities of the great
city." Its mounting isot tho most liberal
kind.
Richard Mansfield will h elp to alleviate
the sufferings of the public in their political
afflictions next week. He comes to the Alvin
Theater next week with several of the plays
he has made familiar here, and at least one
considerable novelty, "The Scarlet Letter."
"iieau Brummell" is announced for thiee
performances, and "Tho Scarlet Lefter" for
but one. This seems unwise.for uuless we
are mistaken the now play will be most in
demand, despite the popularity of tho piti
ful story of the "King ot Fops." Tho reper
toire is arranged as tollows: Monday. "Beau
ww -idu, nuubuci uuvuuy uy die way;
Friday night and Saturday matinee, "Beau
Brummell," and Saturday night. "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde."
Cakkoll Jomrsoy, a comedian of tho Scan
Ian school, and one who is thought by some
to be the best in his line before the public
to-day, will be at tho Duquesne Theater
next week. He will present Edward E. Kid
der's Irish play, "The Gossoon." aud both
play and star's performance at the same
theater last season is still fresh in the pub
lic's memory. Last year Mr. Johnson camo
without much heraluing of trumpets, aud he
jumped into public favor with rapidity.
"The Gossoon" has no pikes, no mortgages,
no lost wills, no caricatures of the olergy
and no iniormer, but it has tho Lakes of
Klllarney in summer, tne Lakes of Jvillarney
in winter, the home of the Gossoon, tho
open country by moonlight and the unroof
1ns of the cabin, one or the most startling
effects, it is said, ever presented anvwhere.
The scenery and mechanical devices aro by
the well-known irenius, George Purvis. Mr.
Johnson has a nuniDer or new songs, and is
said to bo as gracelul and amusing, as
manly and as handsome, as ho was. Tho
Duquesne management is to oo congratu
lated on filling the vacancy caused by tho
sadly sudden death or Sadie Scanlan with so
good an attraction at short notice.

SCHWATKA IS DEAD.
The Noted Arctic Explorer Succumbs
to a Dose of Laudanum
TAKEN PROBABLY AS A MEDICINE.
Found Lying on the Street at Portland,
Ire., in a Mate of Coma,
HIS PLACE IN FAR NORTHERN HIST0RT
Portland, Ore., Nov. 2. Lieutenant
Frederick 0. Schwatka, who made his
name famous the world over by command
ing the expedition to the Arctic region in
search of the records of the Sir John
Franklin paivj-, is dead. The Lieutenant
was found by an officer at 3 o'clock this
morning, lying on First street. By his
Bide was a bottle of laudanum half empty.
He was in a comatose condition, and was
immediately removed to the St. Charles
Hotel, where he was placed in a chair.
The supposition at first was that the
Lieutenant was intoxicated, bnt, as his condi
tion crew alarming at, the end of an hour, a
patrol wagon was called and the sick man
was tacen to the city jail. A messenger
brought the City Physician, who discovered
that the Lieutenant was suffering from what
appeared to be narcotic poisoning. From
the jail the Lieutenant wa immediately
sent to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where
everything ivas done for him, but in vain,
as he died at 5 o'clock this morniny.
Why Bo Had Taken tiro Drug.
Lieutenant Scwhatka had been suffering
from a complication of troubles, and he had
shown symptoms of apoplexy on several
occasional His stomach had given him
much trouble recently, and for the
purpose of finding relief he used
small quantities ot laudanum, usually tak
ing from 15 to 20 drops. Last evening his
stomach trouole came on with such severity
that he complained bitterly and songht re
lief! Going to a drugstore he asked for
two ounces of laudanum. The druggist
asked him if he lud a prescription. He
replied that he had not, but as he was a
graduate of a medical college he would
write one. The druggist replied that it
vi as not necessary, aud gave Lieutenant
Schwatka the drug. He went away, and
alter visiting a political club he was not
seen alter 9 o'clock until picked up on the
street. Dr. Nicklin, an intimate friend of
the deceased, said:
"The Lieutenant anil myself took dinner
last evening together, and I left him about
7 o'clock. He was in his usual jovial mood.
but complained some about the pain in his
stomach. His prospects were very encour
aging, and he expected soon to periect ar
rangements for going to Mexico, where he
had a gigantic scheme with some Mexican
land company. He was also verv enthusias
tic about his plan for having the Govern
ment m.ike a national park of Mount Hood.
He seemed to feel highly encouraged, and
believed all of his plans would materialize."
The Famous Navigator's Caroer.
Frederick Schwatka was born in Galena,
111., on the TJlh of September, 1840. He
entered early upon his military career, and
alter having graduated from the United
States Military Academy in 1871, he was ap
pointed Second Lieutenant in the Third
Cavalry, and served on garrison and frontier
duty until 1877. During bis life in the
ranks he devoted considerable time to the
study of law and medicine, and was ad
mitted to the bar of Nebraska in 1875. He
also received a medical degree at Bellevue
Hospital Medical College, New Yorfc, in
1876.
Ou hearing the story of Captain Thomas
F. Barry, who, while on a whaling expedi
tion in itepulse Bay in 1871-73, was visited
by Esquimaux, who described strangers that
had traveled through that region several
years before, and who had buried papers in
a cavern, where silver spoons and many
other relics had been found, Licutenaut
Schwatka determined to search for traces
of Sir John Franklin's party. Subse
quently he obtained leave of absence and
started to fit out an expedition.
On June 19, 1878, accompanied by Will
iam H. Gilder as second in command, he
sailed in the "Eathen" for King William's
Land. The expedition was partly success
ful and returned on September 22, 1880,
having discovered and buried many of the
skeletons ol Sir John Franklin's party, and
removed much of the mystery surrounding
his fate.
Interesting Records Unearthed by Schwatka.
Among the mauy interesting relics found
was the grave ol Lieutenant John Irving,
who as third officer of the Terror and in
addition to that also a paper, a copy of
the Crozier record that was found in 1859
by Lieutenant William It. Hobson, of Sir
Leopold McClintock's expedition. The
paper contained two record?, the latter,
under the date of April 25,
1818, stating the death ' of Sir
John Franklin on June 7, 1817. A notable
feature ot this expedition was that it was
marked by the longest sledge journey on
record, namely, 3,251 statute miles, during
which a branch ol Back's river was discov
ered, which Lieutenant Schwatka named lor
President Hayes.
Schwatka made several minor trips, dur
ing which he explored the course ot the
Yukon river in Alaska. In July, 1884, he
rejoined his regiment. A month alter he
resigned his commission of First Lieuten
ant, Third Cavalry, to which he had been
appointed in March, 1879.
Among 'his later expeditions was the
most famous, the one he led for the New
York Times to Alaska in 1886. He was tiie
recipient of many honors and distinctions,
having been decorated with the Boquette
Arctic medal from the Geographical So
ciety ot Paris, and a Russian medal from
the Imperial Geographical Society ot St.
Petersburg. He was also an honorary
member of geographical societies in
Bremen, Geneva aud Rome.
Among the many works he wrote the
most well known are: "Along Alaska's
Great River," "Nimrod in the North,"
"The Franklin Search Under Lieutenant
Schwatka," and one in German also,
"Als Eskimo Unter den Eskimo."

NEWS FROM SISTERSYIhLE FIELD
Four wells were drilled through the
sand yesterday where oil was expected and
all of them were northwest of Pittsburg,
thre'e of tjiem in Butler and one in Alle
gheny county.
No new wells were reported in the
McDonald or Sistersville fields. The esti
mated production of the McDonald pool
fell to 17,500 barrels, which is lower than it
has been since it reached the keystone of its
output, one year ago this month.
Unless the wells now prodncing in that
field hold up much better than the average
fifth sanders and the first crop in the Mc
Donald district did, there is a strong proba
bility that the downward course of the pro
duction may be very rapid.
Wildwood and Washington dropped like
a crow to a cornfield, when they began to go
down, and McDonald can scarcely be rated
as an exception. It was a remarkable field
on the up grade, but its big wells declined
faster in proportion to tbeir size than those
in many other places where they did not
start oil so big.
About the only part of the field in which
there is much interest at present is in the
extreme northeastern part of what was
originally known as the'McCnrdy district.
There the big well of the Forest Oil Com
pany on the Clever farm has aroused con
siderable activity, and a dozen wells are
now being drilled on the strength of it. In
other parts of the field few new wells are
being started or will be unless something
big turns up. '
Around Venice a number of fourth sand
ers are being put down, aud few wells in
that locality have failed to get either oil or
gas.
Three Bntlor County Producers.
The Butler county wells which were
finished up yesterday belong to Schlegel,
Lentz & Co. Two them are in what is
known as the Garvin pool located five
miles south of Evans City. This pool was
opened over a year ago by Schiegel, Lentz
& Co. who drilled the first good well in
the pooh It is on the Ben Garvin farm.
Their No. 2 on the Ben Garvin farm has
been finished up and is good for 100 barrels
a day, and their No. 1 on the Gardner farm
will" make about a 75-barrel well. In the
same locality they are starting a well on
the Vandervort farm.
Two miles south of Brownsdale they
have completed their No. 2 on the Critch
low farm, and it is good for 75 barrels a
day. They are also riggingup on the Dun
bar farm, a mile south of the Critchlow,
and also at No. 2 in the Gardner, in the
Garvin pooL
Jennings & Ca's well on the Myers
farm, which is located a mile northeast of
Patterson & Sohn's Kessler farm producer,
was yesterday drilled through the third
sand or rather where it should have been,
aud was pronounced a rank failure.
Progress of McDonald Ventures.
McDonald Schlegel, Lentz & Co. are
in the 100-foot at theirNo. 2 on the Walker
farm, in the Fife pool.
The Devonian Oil Company expected a
well in on Wittengale, and one on the E1
liott yesterday, but they were disappointed.
Bcttman &"Watson will have a couple in
on the Wittengale the last of this or the
first of next w eek. 9
The Florence Oil Company's No. 6 on
the Kobb heirs' farm, south ot Willow
Grove, will make about 150 barrels a day
from the Gordon sand. They are starting
No. 2 on the Miller farm, south of the Meisc
pool.
In the northwestern MeCnrdy district
Bobison & Stewart are down 1,200 feet in
No. 3 McCoy and 950 feet in No. 4 on the
same farm.
Finishing a Sistersville Well.
Sistersville Brenneman & Co, were
putting the last casing in their well on the
Clark farm yesterday. It is located just
north of the Keener heirs' property.
The Forsythe Oil Company is on top of
the sand in No. 7 on the Thistle farm and
they are rigging up at No. 10.
The Greenlee and Forst Sale.
The announcement of the sale of a por
tion ot Greenlee & Forst's property in the
McDonald field to the Tidal Oil Company "j
lor trop 5oou,uuu to iiw.uuu occasioned
very little comment yesterday as the deal
has been banging fire for months, and it was
known to all the oil operators,that negotia
tions for the sale of the prop
erty were on foot It seemed
to be the general impression, however, that
more than the amount named would be
realized, for taking the production sold as
3,000 barrels, and the price obtained as
5400,000, it gives only 5133 33 per barrel,
which is considered a low figure even at the
present market price of oil.

" I was so bad with falling of

I could not stand.
"I had doctored so much

" One evening I read in the

I got some, and took 2 bottles
of the Compound, and used one
of the Sanative Wash.
"I believe it saved my life.
I am now well and strong, am

there would be
