The train consisted of fifteen coaches
loaded with members cf the Cnion
Pacific Pioneers' Association of Omaha
and their families and Mends. The
excursion party left Omaha early In th
day for Logan. lowti. which was reached
at 10 a. m. and the day hud been pleas
antly spent. About seven o'clock the
Journey homeward was commenced.
The train had hardly passed the limits
of the city and was rounding a curve
when there came a crash. The excur
sion train had been run Into by a
fast freight known as No. 3. and all
the coaches were ditched. The scene
which followed Is Indescribable. Hnth
engines and the first passenger coach
were demolished. The engineers und
firemen nf both engines jumped and
scaped without serious Injury.
Conductor Moulin of the freight
train says he was runnig on orders and
the excursion train was not. The en
gineer and fireman of the excursion dis
appeared after the collision and this
lends credence to the Btory as told by
the frleght conductor.
The news spread like wild fire and
soon the newspaper offices, depots and
railroad headquarters were beselged by
a crowd of frantic people, who had rela
tives on the fated train. The crowds
did not scatter with the break of day,
although the excitement of the night
wore off as relatives and friends of the
dead ones became convinced of the
worst. About seven o'clock this morn
ing the first funeral train from the
scene arrived at the Union depot. The
first train contained many of the more
seriously injured, and twenty of them
were taken In ambulances to St. Jos
eph's hospital. Several of them can
not hope to live more than a few hours.
At 3.30 o'clock the train carrying the
dead arrived, containing seventeen
bodies which were taken one by one
and placed in long rows on the floor of
the baggage room. Only friends of the
missing ones were allowed admission.
Those silent forms gave evidence of
force of yesterday's colllsslon. Headless
trunks', bodies without limbs, limbs
without bodies, were gathered in that
small space. Occasionally some ane
would recognize the features of a son
or daughter. Kind friends would
gently lead them from the room and the
body would be ticketed and sent to
the undertakers.
BRYAN RATTLED HIM.
Joe Shnlbaker Forgot to Recommend
Bottec of Dandruff Core.
Chicago, July 12fl The "Poy c-c?"
news that he had been nominated. Soon
after he heard It he went down stairs
to get a shave and a shampoo. Joe
Shulbaker, the formean of the barber
shop. Invited him to his chair. Mr.
Bryan sat down and put back his head.
The barber trembled with excitement
as he slapped on the lather. He tried his
razor on a piece of paper first and then
he began to scrape. He got red and
then he got white, ha hands shook, he
succeeeded in getting over one-naif
of the "Boy Orator's" face, and he
picked u : the lather brush again and
started to put on the second coat of
ather. Just then the "Boy Orator" mov
ed uneuslly, and the brush slipped into
his mouth, giving him a mouthful of
soapsuds. The foreman of the shop
nearly fainted frmo fright, and the "Boy
Orator" s:at out the sopsuds and lav
buck again. The barber essayed onca
more with his razor, but was uvercuiae
and he dually had to turn the job over
to one of his assistants.
TIDAL WAVE IN JAPAN.
Awful Results of a Seismic Disturbance
Along the Northern Cast of the
Coast Vividly Described.
San Eranci-X'O, Cala., July 12. The
Tuklo correspondent of the I'nlted
Press, writing under date of June 20,
thus graphically describes the devasta
tion wrought by the seismic wave which
recently visited thu northeast coast of
Japan. "Japan has been visited by a
calamity or ulniost unprecedented mag
nitude. On the ifth oi June, at lialf
past six o'clock In the evening, a seis
mic wuve struck the northeast coast of
the main island, throughout the dis
tance of about 2UU miles and in five min
utes 30.00U pcuple were killed and 12.U0U
houses destroyed. That Is the whole
story."
Anyone can Identify the locality of the
disaster by a glance ut the mup of
Japan. From the it-land of Kinka-iiun,
on the south to Huchi.iuyc, on the norm,
the const of KU'.uzL-n and Klkushu pro
vinces assuni"S u distinctly convex
shape.
Through the whole of tills bow-like
urea nearly every town uud every vll
lugc was visited by the wave, the por
tion between Motoyoshi and Varna. hi
suffered most severely. The general
direction of the wave iippeurs to have
been north by cast, for after carrying
devastation to the shore of the main
island, it left Yeno on tho wat-, touch
ing that islund at Yerlmo cape only.
At half-past eight o'clock the Inhabi
tants of numerous towns and lmmlets
along the coast were celebrating' the
boys' festival on the llfth day. of the
fifth month, according to the old cal
endar; at twenty-five minutes before
nine, KO.Gt'O of them had been swept out
to sea or thrown deed upun the shore
and 8.U00 of their houses had disap
peared or lay wrecked. There wan
nothing pnrtl-ularly to presume the dis
aster. About 7.25 p. m. a booming became
audible from the direction of the sea.
It appears to have been variously in
terpreted. Sonic construed It ns the noiso
of u growlnggale;i,thors supposed that
a hutre school of surdities had reached
the otllng. Only a Very Tew suspected
the real significance of the sound und
lied inland. Rapidly the noise Increased
until It assumed the volume and deaf
ening of a great roar of artillery, mid In
a moment waves from 20 to 30 feet hlfth
were thundering against the shore.
Kumaisul Is it little sea town situated
at the head of u rocky Inlet two miles
deep and directly facing the Pacific
ccean. Behind it Is a precipitous hill.
The Inhabitants stem to have remained
until the lust, wholly unconscious of
what was happening. At a little after
eltfht In the evening a mountain of sea
was observed plying Itself up at the
mouth of the Inlet, and In a moment,
with a thunderous roar, waves SO feet
high swept over the town. Three times
the avalanche of water rufhed forward;
the first incomparably the most ter
rible and In less than two minutes the
town was virtually annihilated. Out of
23.000 only 143 remained standing; and
out of a population of 6.557. death had
overtaken 4.0'ui nr.d over 500 were
Wounded.
In completeness cf destruction this
record heads the list? In the Kissen
district one town and eleven villages
attacked by the wave Ivici 6.3S0 persons
killed und l,.".tu houses washed awny or
wrecked, t-'uch arc the tales of death and
ruin that come from plac after place.
The terrible b.tals at this moment
of writing are 2:1,073 killed; 7.73;;
wounded und 7.S14 houses washed nwny
or wrecked.

Canton, O.. July 12. Major McKinley
is emphatically and avowedly for gold.
He mude u flat-footed declaration yes
terduy afternoon on the financial ques
tion, which show-B that he recognizes the
Importance of that issue, und which In
dicates that the Republican campaign
will be a straight-out fight against the
assailants of the national honor and
credit.
The Thirty-second Ward Koiaker club
of Clevelaud, some three of four hun
dred strong, was here today to pay its
respects to the nominee. They came
accompanied by a band and had the
usual escort of horsemen. They march
ed through the city to the McKinley
home, where hundreds of Cantoniuns
joined them.
D. H. Lucas was the spokesman for
the party. He-said the club was named
In honor of Poruker when it was or
ganized several years ago in recognition
of his good work for the party, and he
pledged to Major McKinley the hearty
support and work of every member of
the club nutil the polls, close In No
vember. When Major McKinley stepped upon
the porch to respond he was greeted
with a storm of applause, and when ho
begun to speuk, going almost directly
to the currency question and the lines
the opposition have drawn upon it, the
demonstration was more pronounced.
MR. M KINLEY'S REMARKS.
MnJof McKinley suld:
"Mr. President. Ladles and t.entle
men uml My fellow Citizens: It gives
me great pleasure to welcome you to my
home, und 1 appreciate mere than I cun
III, U words to express the honor und
compliment of this cull. 1 thank you
for your congratulations and assurance
of support which you make for the great
principles for which this year the Re
publiouiu jsirty staauls. (Applause.
I congratulate you upon having for
your mime that of one of the most ill
ustrious of statesmen ot Ohio, Joseph
U. Koruker. lApplause.
"My fellow citizens, recent events
have lmooscd upon the patriotic people
of this country a responsibility and a
duty greater than any since the civil
war. Then It was a struggle to pre
serve the Government of the Cnltcd
States. Now it Is a, struggle to pre
servet he financial honor ot' the Govern
ment of the I'nlted States. Cries ot
yes and applause. Then it was a con
test to save the Union. Great up
plause.l Then section was arrayed
aguinst section. Now men of ull sec
tions cuu unite, and will unite, to re
buke the repudiation of our obligations
and the debasement of our currency.
Aplause.
In this contest patriotism Is above
party and national honor s dearer than
any party name. The currency and
credit of the government are good now
and must be kept good forever. Oiu
trouble Is not with the character or the
money thut we have, but with the tlm-at
to debase It. We have the same cur
renev that we had In 1SH2. good the
woil'd over, and unquestioned by any
people. Then, too, we had unexampled
credit and prosperity.
"Our difficulty now Is to get that
money in circulation and Invested In
productive enterprises which furnish
employment to American labor.iGreat
applause.) This Is ImiKisslble with the
distrust that hnngs over the country
at the present time, and every effort to
make ourdolalrs,, or nny one of them,
worth less than 100 cents each only
serves to Increase that diHtrust. What
we want Is a sound policy, financial
and industrial, which will give courage
and confidence to all, for when that Is
done the money now unemployed be
cause of fear for the future and lack
of confidence in investment, will quick
ly appear in the channels of trade.
(Cries of "You are right. Major,.' and
applause.)
"Gentlemen, the employment of the
Idle money that we ulready have In
gainful pursuits, will put every idle
man in the country ut work and when
there Is work there Is wages, and when
there is work and wages there are con
sumers who constitute the best market
for the products of our soil. (Great ap
plause.) WORSR THAN FRKR TRADE.
"Having destroyed business nnd con
fidence by a free trnde policy it is now
proposed to make things still worse by
entering upon an era of depreciated
currency. Not content with the In
auguration of the ruinous policy which
has brought down the wages of the
laborer and the price of farm prod, lets
Its advocates now offer u new pulley
which will diminish tlif value of the
money In which the wages and tho pro
ducts are paid. (Applause.) Against
both of these we stand oposed.
"Our creed embraces an honest dollar,
an untarnished national credit, ade
quate revenues for the uses of the gov
ernment, protection to labor and Indus
try, prescvution of the home market,
and reciprocity which will extend our
foreign markets. I'pon this platform
we nund. and submit Its declarations
to the sober and ronslderate Judgment
of the American people. (Aimlause.)
"I think you again, my fellow citi
zens, for this call and greeting, and It
will give me very great pleasure, ladles
and gentlemen, to meet you personally."

NO DINNER TO A10RLEY.
A Sorry Rcvelntion of the discord
Among the Liberal l.enderx.
London, July 12. A sorry Incident
showing forcibly the pitiful demoral
ization of the Liberals and the discord
among their leaders has occurred In
connection with a projected party din
ni: ta Mr. John Nurley. The National
Liberal club having entertained Lord
Rosebery and Sir William Vernon-Har-r
.... tf formal party dinner. nnosed
Ion. The application for tickets from
members of the club promised to make
the event a demonstration. Lord Car
rlngton, the club's president, for some
reason. Intimated that he found it im
possible to take the chair. Mr. Morley
regarded this as in some way a reflec
tion on his Importance as a party leader.
So the dinner, which was to have taken
place on Wednesday evening, was
abandoned.
The pith of the matter is that Mr.
Morley Is now openly a candidate for
the supreme leadership against both
Lord Rosebery and Sir William Vernon
Harcourt. In the National Liberal club
and out of It Lord Rosebery has still
the stronger backing. A majority of
the Liberals would prefer Mr. Asqulth
to Mr. Morley. and Sir William Ver
non-Harcourt to either. The affair will
lead to a meeting of the Liberal mem
bers of Parliament with delegates from
the National Liberal club, and probab
ly from the county electoral organlza
tlons to discuss the whole question of
unity among the leaders.
WILL INDORSE BRYAN.
Result of Sessions of the America Bi
metallists Silver Advocates Urged
to Support Chicago Ticket.
Chicago, July 12. After a two days'
secret session and conference with
prominent members, the executive com
mittee of the American Uimetullist Un
ion adjourned to day und formally un-
nouncwd its approval of the Democratic
platform and candidates. The commit
tee tu un address appeals to the silver
organizations of the country who in
tend to send delegates to the St. Louis
convention to unify the sliver forces by
endorsing the work done In the coli
seum. Thirty odd members of the committee
and outside members of the union at
tended the council. General A. J. War
ner, president of the union, presided.
There wus no division of sentiment us
tu endorsement.
The address concludes as follows:
"The only danger to be feaied Is In
the division of our own forces, which
we pray will not be ulhfVed to tuke
place. To divide our forces on the eve
of the great contest before the world Is
unnatural und suicidal; and for one to
lead a revolt la such cause and at such
a time would come little short of being
a punllc crime. We, therefore nppeul
to ull members of the Kl-metulllc un
Ion und of the ntlllluted silver leagues
uud ull others opposed to the contiu
tiiince of the single gold standard, re
gardless of party ailillatlons, to come
to the support of the platform und tne
splendid ticket given that the people's
greut convention Just held at Chicago,
We further urge upon all who agree
with us upon this vital Issue to Join us
at St. Louis on the 22nd of July, there
to endorse and ratify the work so nobly
begun." .
General Warner Just before leaving
to night for his home In Marietta, said
to a reporter for the United Frees: "The
committee was unanimous for the en
dorsement. Two-thirds of those pres
ent were Republicans. The silver con
vention in St. Lous will certainly sup
port Bryan. The gold men can have all
the tickets they plense, the more the
better, but we must huve only one Bll
ver ticket If we are to win. No silver
man of national reputation will accept
a nomination from any other source.
vc want all the big silver men to come
tothe St. Louis convention. The Dem
ocrats gave us all we asked for and
mure than we exected a year ago. If
we had drawn the silver plank to suit
the Democruts we would probably have
made it a little more conservative. We
must have a silver dally newspaper In
Chicago, and I expect there will be
one here soon. We expect to beat Mc
Kinley In Ohio. There are a lot of sliver
men there. I live among them and know
them."

The firm of K. & A. Sewall was dls

years of existence, had built forty-six
wooden vessels. In 1879 Arthur Sewall,
his son William D. Sewall, and his
nephew, Samuel S. Bewail, a son of the
lute Edward Sewall formed the firm of
Arthur Sewall & Co., which Is still In

wooden vessels, among them being the
Rappahannock since burned at sea,
the Shenandoah, the Susquehanna,
three of the largest wooden ships ever
built, and the Ronnoke. the largest
wooden sailing vessel aoat.

a plant for making steel vessels. They
built the first American clipper, Dlrigo.

Railway In 1S84, 18S5 and 1S86. He Is
also president of the Bath National
bank.
Mr. Sewall came out for free coinage
of silver in June. 1805. a fu-et which con
trbutcd to the refusal of his fellow del
egates to Chicago to continue him on
the National committee. Mr. Suwnll
was the Democratic candidate for
United States senator at tho session of
the Maine legislature In 1803. Mr. Se
wall has always made his home at Hath.
