The cars derailed turned completely over and were badly demol ished. As soon as possible aft-r the accident a relief train was sent from Wheeling with doctors and the injured passengers were taken to the hospital. The accident seems to be one of those kind that is wholly unavoidable. Great excitement prevailed In tbe vi cinity for a time after the wreck. That no more fatalities occurred seems to be due to a kind providence, as the wreck was one of the worst of its kind that has occurred In this vicinity for many years. ' . ; "TUE KATAHDIN REJECTED. Secretary Herbert leaves tho Question of . Her Acceptance to tho President. Woshlngton,Nov.3. The official speed of the Animen ram Kathdln Is 16.13 knots, as reported to Secretary Herbert yesterday by the Trial Board, and the vessel stands rejected under her con tract, bearing tho distinction of being the first vessel of. the new navy falling to reach contract requirements. Unless special provision is made by the next session of Congress, the Bath Iron Works of Maine, which built the hull and machinery, must rely upon selling; her to some foreign Government to re coup their expenditures, In which case a complication would arise, as $400,000 worth of armor belonging to the United States Is fastened on the vessel, and is valueless for other purposes. Secretary Herbert salu that he was powerless to waive the specifications of the contract, which stipulated that un less the ram developed seventeen knots or over, the vessel should be rejected. After a long conference with Gen. Hyde, the builder, the Secretary, however, consented to take care of the vessel at the New York Navy Yard pending a further consideration of the matter by by President Cleveland. Unlike contracts for ether naval ves sels, Whloh provided ifor certain for feits If a certain fixed speed were not eeourcd, an lron-elarl clause was placed In the ram Katahdln agreement, com pelling her to show seventeen knots under penalty of rejection. The vocsel was wholly of a novel and experimental character, and for this reason few of the builders of war ships responded to the advertisements for proposals. Secretary Tracy Anally in duced Presfdent Hyde, of the Bath Iron works, to undertake the contract, giving assurances, It Is said, that the detpairtmnt would be disposed to be lenient If It were demonstrated that tine vessel's design was defective. Tho keel was laid in 1891, and ever since Mint Clme frrequent modifications have had to be made In the plains because of discovered defects. Naval officers still adhere to the be lief hat under favorable conditions, in tbe smooth water for which the Katahdln was designed, she could easi ly make the required, seventeen knots. Her contractors, (however, prefer not to run the risk of forcing her to a Higher speed than they did on Thurs day, and prefer to leave the whole mat ter to President Cleveland, relying on his fairness to suggest a Just settle ment. SALVATIONISTS FINED. They Play Upon Horns and Drums on Sunday at Easton. Kaston, Pa., Nov. 3.

Money lias Been Given to Furnish Revol vers fur Jail Birds. Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 3. The Hennepin county officials say they have discovered another Hayward jail break ing plot. It has been discovered thai the $6'0 of Hayward's money that Is missing has been given to another pris oner and he delegates some one to smuggle a dozen revolvers into the jail. They are to be passed around and Hay ward was to start a sham fight in the jail. The janitor, when he came to stop the racket,- would have been over powered and then the prisoners would fight their way out to liberty. A thorough search was made yester day with the expectation of finding the revolvers. Nothing but rope nooses were secured, however. . MARLBOROUGH'S PB1ZE. Miss VonderHlt Will Bring a Dowry of Fivo Million Dollars -Tho Settlements Arranged on Saturday. New York, Nov. 3. Three lawyers, representing the Duke of Marlborough, W. K. Vanderbllt, and Mrs. Alva Van derbllt, met in a down-town law ofllco yesterday to arrange the details of the settlements preliminary to the Vander-bilt-Marlborough marriage. R. Hard ing Milward represented the Duke, Col. Wlliam Jay was there In Mrs. Vander bllt's Interests, while Wmlam K. Van derbllt was represented by Mr. Ander son. After the meeting was over, however, it was learned that the statement print ed that Miss Vanderbilt's marriage portion from her father would be $10, 600,000 la not true. One whose knowl edge of the matter gives authority to any statement he might make about it, said: "It is not possible for me to tell you just what the settlements are, but it you state that Miss Vanderbilt's dow ery will not be much above 15,000,000 the statement will be near the truth. The Income from the dowery the future Duchess of Marlborough will have the free use of. The principal will bo held In trust for her children by this mar riage. Marlborough's settlements up on Miss Vanderbllt were simply these: hue gets the maximum revenue from the Marlborough estates, the largest revenue ever received by a Duchess of Marlborough." All the jewels that the Duke of Marl borough has given to Miss Vanderbllt, with the exception of her engagement ring, are new. None of the Marlbor ough jewels, are in the possession of tho present Duke. Many years ago a Duvh ess of Marlborough at her death left - .If. n rrH t fira Moflt Of the 1. 1 1 J 1 1 1 w jewels are now in the possesion or Lady spencer. Miss Vanderbilt's engagement ring contains a ruby which belonged long ago to an Indian Marajah. Another su perb present from the duke to Miss. Vanderbllt Is a diamond girdle made In London. The girdle Is of solid gold en crusted with diamonds, and hero and there a splendid ruby. The rumor that none of tbe Vander bllt family, except the future duchess' father, has been invited to the wedding was confirmed yesterdav. It may also be stated that the relations between Mr. Vanderbllt and the duke of Marl borough are most cordial. The much-talked-of bridal bouquet, made from flowers In the conservato ries at Blenheim, reached New York by the Lucanla on Friday. Yesterday morning Mr. Milward, the duke of Marlborough's solicitor, had the bou quet passed through the custom house, and then sent It to an up-town florist s. The duty levied was $5, the valuation being placed at 350. The bouquet Is composed almost en tirely of white and delicate pink orchids and roses. It Is nearly five feet across tho top. The flowers of which it in made looked almost as fresh as if they had Just been cut. It may be de cided to break up the boiinuct mnklng from it. those for the bride and the bridesmaids. , WERE FAITHFUL LOVERS. Indiana Couple Married After 32 Years of Waiting for Obstacles to Disappear. iLoganeport, Ind., Nov. 3. A mar riage which was celebrated last Sun day in the northern part of this coun ty, develops a story of romance which is unusuaHy interest Irog. . In 1804 William Frankum. a lad of 19, fell In love wiith Mary Knight, a neigh bor girl a year his junior. At the time the fathers of both the young people were away in the army, and their mothers exacted a promise that they would not marry until Uhelr fa thers should return. Time went on and the war closed. Neither of the fathers ever returned. They were left on the battJeflelds) of fhe Booth with many th.wnriaa df their bnave comrades. In the meantime the mother of Miss Knighit died, and -the girl was now alone in the world. Their marriage was again proposed,- but Frankum's mother objected, and rather than In cur the Ul iwtll of Mrs, Frankum and possibly .be disinherited, the young peo ple effected a .oomprorrJlse. They agreed to postpone the ceremony during the ti'fe of Mrs. Frankum, but the girl was to make her home with tbe Frank urns. Ytur aifter ye.ar went on, the old lady's lease on life did not seem to draw any nearer to a close. Frequent ly during thai time the young people, now growing old themselves, sought the consent of the old lady to their marriage, "but the remained inexorable The young couple ihad grown to look upon It as a religious duty to fulfill their promise to the old lady, end one elung wfth childish tenacity to her first objection to their marriage. - For thirty-two years after the first promise toad been exacted and after the couple Itad become engaged did he old lady remain With them, and for (tihlrty-t'wo years was the wedding postponed. Mrs. Frankum died a few weeks ago. and on Sunday morning William Frankum and Mary Knight, both now past middle life, were unit ed In marriage. Their only reward for tihelr long waiting is their own con sciousness of having been faithful to their pledge, and a valuable farm left tfiiem by Mrs. Frankum. . Wreck ontho Missouri, Kanaes and Texas Dallas, TTex., Nov. I. A Missouri, Kan sas and Texas passenger train was wrecked between Dallas and Hllliboro about 10 o'clock this morning. Engineer Mike Murphy was killed outrlvht. and twenty-two passengers Injured. The acci dent Is said to have been 'caused by a broken rail. ' ' John Taylor Dead.

FOUR BODIES AKE REMOVED It Is Evident That Many More Have Per ished In the Conflagration-Remains of One Victim Are Charred Beyond Identification. Now York, Nov. 3. When the smok ing ruins of the sweat shops In Pelham Btreet, which were burned early this morning, were searched it was discov ered that four lives had been lost in the blinding smoke and flames. Three buildings were totally wrecked and an estimate of the damage places it at $100,000. The names of the dead are as follows: Jacob Shapiro,. Isaac Pensen, Morris Deuschl and an unknown person, sex undlstingulshable. The position of the bodies taken from the ruins and the horrible condition in which they were found show how terrible bad been the struggle of the unfortunates for life and how hope less their fight before the swift advance of the flames. The three builalngs took fire from floor to floor as though their walls had been soaked with kerosene and all avenues of escape were cut off. No one knows how many per sons were In the darkened sweat shops when the Are started and even yet beneath the mass of charred debris there may be lying the bodies of home less and friendless tailors who had found shelter for the night within the walls of the doomed buildings. HOLMES CONVICTED. The Jury Takes but Ono Ballot to Decide th Fate of the Wholesale Murderer. Philadelphia, Nov. 3. H. H. Holmes was convicted last night of murder in the first degre for killing Benjamin F. Pltesel In this city on Sept. 1, 1894. The Jury took only cne ballot to reach this decision. The jury retired at S.45, at the conclusion of Judge Arnold's charge. At 8.35 word was sent to Judge Arnold that the Jury was ready to re turn the verdict. The prisoner was brought In and placed In the dock. He was tmpasclve as he took his seat. The Jury came In and took their places. The court ordered Holmes to arise, and then, In reply to the question of the court, the foreman of the jury pro nounced the verdict "Guilty of murder In the first degree." The verdict was greeted with abso lute silence. The Charge of the Judge must have foreshadowed what his fate would be, but the word "Quilty" fell upon Holmes with stunning force. He made no outcry id exhibited no emo tion of any kind. He sat down, and while the Jury was polled and each man answered to his narne and Rave his verdict Holmes stared vacantly be fore -htm. His face was like that of a corpse. It was absolutely expres sionless. After the effects of the blow began to pass away Holmes slowly recovered. He realized that his counsel was mak ing a motion for a new trKl. His under lip fell and he ran his, tongue over it. Clasping his hands together he leaned forward to listen to tne Judge's decis ion. When Judge Arnold said that he would hear the application for a new trial on Monday, Nov. 18, an expression of something like hope came over his dull face. Turning to the court officers he said In an eager whisper: "Monday, Nov. 18?" These were the only words he uttered. Judge Arnold then expressed to Mr. Rotan and Mr. Shoemaker his appre ciation of their difficult task, and com plimented them on being able to make as good a defence as they did. He Inti mated that their withdrawal from the case was a device of the prisoner. In a manly, honest way, Mr. Rotan gave the court to understand that their withdrawal was no device of their own, but was done from a sincere conviction, because they believed time had not been given to them to prepare their case. Judge Arnold then ordered that the prisoner be removed. By this time Holmes had recovered much of his composure and he walked from the room with a quick, springy step. The Judge thanked the Jury for their atten tion and discharged them, and so ended the trial. The Jury was never In doubt. When they retired from the court room they had supper, and then a brief discussion took place. One ballot, was taken, and every man voted to convict. They con sumed three hours for their retirement from the court room, but they could have found a verdict In fifteen minutes If they had wished to do so. Every one actively identified with the Holmes trial was glad that to-day was Sunday and took advantage to rest and reouperate from the great nervous ten sion under which they had labored for a week. After the ordeal of the trial the quiet monotony of a prison cell was welcome to Holmes and he snent to-day appar ently unconcerned by the death sen tence which hangs over him. The con demned man's appetite takes but little of his attention, lie still maintains his air of Injured Innocence and reads and writes when not absorbed In thought No visitors were allowed to see him to day and Holmes himself strengthened the prison rules by stating that he did not wish to see anybody. BIG DEAL IN COKE. Tbe Frlck Company Ba?s the Plant of the McClnre Coke Company. Pittsburg, Pa.. Nov. 3. H. B. Frlck Coke company has purchased the en tire plant and. franchises of the Mc dure Coke company, elected -a new board of directors of that company and today removed the office of the McClure Coke company to the same floor In the Carnegie building as that occupied by the Frlck Coke company. For a time the McClure Coke company will con tinue to run as a senarate organisa tion. The McClure Coke company own 2.500 ovens and waa the next largest In the Connellsvllle region to the Frlck company. This, with the recent purchase of the Falrdiance Furnace company plant, gives the Frlck company control of over 12,000 ovens In the Connellsvllle region out of a total of about 17.000 ovens. The Frlck company now own and control about 50,000 acres of coal land with a coke manufacturing capa city of about 25,000 tons per day. The transaction Involves many thousand dollars. SPEED OF WAR VESSELS. Adrtnlat Ramsay's Figures Show That They Have Been Overrated. Washington, Nov. I. Admiral Ram say 'has collected soma exceedingly in teresting figure on the ordinary cruis ing performance of the new war ships, which wHi be aent to congress by Sec retary Herbert In his annual report, and which may lead to some discussion when appropriations are asked tor new vessels of high ppeed. During the past year the admiral baa required all com manding officer to report to him the i rate of apeed tad tbe oaal oontuated on every voyage made, and the result demonstrate that the wonderful bursts of speed whloh are productive of large premiums wthen skilled jockeying is employed by buflders on 'trial trips to establish great records are altogether meaning lesa as 'Indicating the value of such) vessels for every day naval uses. The new figures do not hi any manner detract from the capabilities of the rac ing cruisers to develop 'high rates of fpeed for ehort distances when emer gencies occur that warrant the risk of forcing and straining the machinery and hulls, as for instance when SJ5.000 a quarter knot is at stake or an enemy is to be (Intercepted or avoided. But the statistics collected show 'that the fig urea custormariiy attached to such ships even in official publications are entirely misleading. The cruiser New York, for Instance, Is ra,ted in ail offlolal publications as a 21-knot ship, , but the best run ttiie made In 1895 was at the ra'te of 15 knots per hour. Which was from Kiel to Oraivesend and her average for the year was about 10 knots. BIG TALK BUT NO FIGHT. Corbott, Fitzstmmons and Their Agents Still Furnishing News Items About tbe Great Fight Fake. Little (Rock, Ark., Nov. 3. 'Dan Stuart lefi for Mexico this morning In company with Secretary Wheelock, of the defunct Floi'lda, Athletic associa tion. He ihad a long talk with, Julian before he left relative to the proposi tion to pull off a ifight ait Juarez, across from El Paso, on Nov. IJ. To the rep resentative of the United Press, Stuart aaild: "The situation is this. I have con fidential agents in Mexico, and their re ports are uniformly (favorable, but I have been footed so often by the re ports of others tlhait I am determilned to take no chanoea ithla time. I am go ing to eco the governor of the Mex ican etatei of iCMhuiaihuat in -whloh Juarea la eftuated. He has said to my agents itihat the fight oan come off there wltihout imterferenae. I aim going to get tils consent In black and white. If I get It, the fight will be a go. If I don't get it, I ahall throw up the whole thing. I have been on & dead card for nearly a year now, and I don't propose to blow in 325,000 more on another one." Cituont aleo said ilhat the big annual bull frgbts tn Juarez begin on 'fine 15th of November, and 'last till the 20th, If the governor proved amiable, the prize fight would take place In the bull ring on .the 19th Inst Julian said he will do the one night stands In Texas while awaitrlng the outcome of Stuart's Mextaan mission. Hot 'Springs, Ark., Nov. 3. A de spatch from Little Jlock, t'h'ls morn ing stated 'that Stuart was sending out a batch of dispatches, but would not talk. This was shown to Brady, who said: "We wUl positively .pay no more attention to 'Fltzsammons. We are through with him forever. It is use less to make Corbett anyy offers in con nection with him." DtRANT STILL HOPEFUL. Says the Jury Waslnflucnced Improperly Against liim-11 Talks Glibly to a Reporter I'pon the Subject. San Francisco, Nov. 3. Durant's mother rallied somewhat from the hock of her son's conviction of Blanche Lamont's murder after she reached her home last evening and was surrounded by sympathising friends. When Interviewed her eyes were still red with weeping, and she listened with eagerness to every word that might be construed as 'hopeful that fell from the lips of her would-be comforters. The mother's confidence In her son's Innocence Is as firm today as it was when suspicion was first cast upon him. It Is evident that nothing less than a confession from his own Hps will ever shake that faith. When first ushered Into his new quarters at the county jail. Durant thowed unmistakable signs that he was deeply stirred, and yet he showed no sign of breaking down. In the court room he had had need to summon all his nerve to control his feelings when his mother clung piteously to him and wept on his bosom, and It was thought at one time he would give way; but when he returned to the jail he was like adamant, so far as losing his self-control was concerneu. When seen by a reporter he appeared somewhat nervous, his face looked slightly pinched and drawn, and he was perhaps a shade paler than usual, but otherwise he was quite the same per son he has appeared all along. "What do I think of the verdict?" General Dickinson has Instructed me not to express an opinion. How do I feel? How do you suppose a fellow would feel In my position? All broke up, of course. Did I expect It? Well, In a way I did and In a way I did not. I was not very greatly surprised. I thought It was strange that the Jury- should come m so soon. In that I was very much surprised. "That slip of paper Dutton read from was too well folded to have been done in the -hurry they appear to have been In. It lookeu to me as though it had been In his pocket sortie time. You can't tell me that Jury arrived at any such conclusion Just In the length, of time they were In the Jury room." Once started he had talked more than he had intended to, and something of the bitterness that was In his heart crept Into his tone as he said: "You can depend upon It there was some dirty work somewhere." During the conversation that fol lowed Durant became quite cheerful again. In fact, he was quite the same that he was before the verdict, with the exception of the slight Inclination toward Irritability, and his air par took of that confidence which has marked his bearing from the first as he intimated that his fate was not yet settled. During the evening Durant's father called at the Jail to see his son, and, after some little delay, was permitted to converse with him for half an hour In the office of the jail. The father was more communicative than the son, and spoke bitterly of the Jury, saying he would never believe they arrived at such a verdict without some ulterior Influence having been ex erted upon them. In conclusion he said: "While there's life there's hope, and we will hope on, for the end Is not yet reached." - FREE FOR ALL FIGHT. Italf a Dosea Men Injured la a Riot at New Custle.

Chairman Carter Senator Sherman Gives Views I'pon President Clove, land and Senator Brlce. Chicago, Nov. 3. A special dispatch to a morning paper from Indianapolis, Ind., says: It Is highly probable as a result of the conference of local Republicans with ex-Attorney General Mlchener, Friday night, that the friends of Mr. Harison will move early for the dis placement of Chairman Carter, of the National Republican committee and the substitution of an out and out Har rison man, at least of one who will be In accord with the majority sentiment of the party in the matter of financial legislation. It was reported here yesterday that the subject was discussed Friday nignt and Mr. Mlchener assured the other gentlemen present tnat a majority of members of the committee were in ac cord with Chairman Carter In his views on the silver question. He Is known to be opposed to Harrison on this ground and is quoted as saying that Harrison could not be elected. The friends of the ex-President feel that the committee can be re-organized and In such a re organization that Harrison Is more than likely to control the election of a chairman. Local Republicans are anx ious that a change In the chairmanship should follow and it Is understood that Harrison's friends on the committee were notified that Mr. Carter Is not ac ceptable to the ex-President and not likely to be to the party at large, which Is In favor of sound money and whose convention will in all probability de clare In favor of maintaining the pres ent attitude of the government towards the coinage of gold and silver. No one has been suggested for the place, but It Is said the candidate will come from the east Senator Sherman Interviewed. A special despatch to a morning pa par ifrom Cleveland tiaiye: Senator Silverman gave an. Interview here last nli'at n whltah he gives his estimates cC tine abilities of 'his colleague. Sena tor Brtoe, an'd of President Cleveland. "Senator 'Brlce," he remarked, "Is a clever fellow, but It Is an outrage that he should represent Ohio hi the sena te. Mr. Brtee used to come to Washington on Tuesday and go away on Friday to New York never to Ohio. "Ohio wool growers are disaffected, and it is am Infernal outralge that Mr. Brlce ehould have represented OMo In the senate- when the wool measure was before corngress. His vote would have prevented wool from going on the free list. Free wool has cost the country forty or fifty million dollars." Referring, to 'Preshknt Cleveland, Mr. Sherman said: . MMr. Cleveland is a man of marked ability, but he is stubborn. He has ideas and insists upon them. Were he a president like Dincoln he would refuse to assume any part of the re sponsibility for the legislation or ad ministration of the departments. My idea of the president is that oif pre siding and ' executive officer not a tyrant, a dictator, or a meddler. The applicant! for office should not see him at all.' "Wuien I said Mr. Cleveland Is a man of marked ability I did not mean he is a good president. Congress appro priates the money for the use of the sec retaries and not for the president, and the responslbiltt'les are upon the secre taries. General Vandervoort Is Sanguine. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 3.
