The accident was caused by the
breaking1 of a flange on the combina

that car together with two coaches and
a parlor car. 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. In defiance of a
recent order of Mayor Field, command
ing the Salvation Army to cease play
ing horns and drums on Sunday at their
open air services In Centre Square,
Elmer West, of Phtllpsburg, cornetlst,
and Edward Parsons, of Ringor, Pa.,
trombonist, were arrested this after
noon and committed to prison for ten
days In default of a flno of 110.
The arrests and Imprisonment have
caused considerable comment. The
army, of late, has been complained of
aa being a nuisance on Sunday.
FOOT BALL CAUSED DEATH.
Injuries Lieut. Prince Received Threo
Years Ago In Annapolis Result Fatal ly.
Chicago, Nov. I. Lieut Leonard M.
Prince, Second Infantry, U. 8. A., died
at the Presbyterian Hospital yesterday
as tbe result of Injuries received in the
famous army-navy foot ball game at
Annapolis In 1893, between the Cadets
of the United States Military Academy
at West Point and the Naval Academy
at Annapolis. In a scrimmage for the
ball. Prince, who was under the strug
gling mass of players, was struck by an
Annapolis player, who fell on the small
of his back with both knees. Wnen tho
ball was put In play again It waa dis
covered that Prince could net rise, and
he was carried off the Held. An exami
nation showed two ribs on his left side
were broken and Internal Injuries In
flicted. While exercising In his post gymna
sium at Fort Omaha eight months ago
he again experienced the old pains. He
returned to his home in Bloomlngton,
111., where the family physician pro
nounced his illness the result of the In
juries received In the foot ball game of
1332.
ANOTHER HAY WARD PLOT.
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. .

ROASTED IN A SWEAT SBOP
Several Workers' Meet a Terrible Pate
in a Fire Trap.
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."

HARRISON'S FRIENDS ACTIVE
They Propose to Displaco . 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

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. General Paul
A. Vandervoort, commander in chief

this year would be, on the whole, 50 per
cent, greater than in the states which

Iowa, Kentucky and Ohio.
