thusinni of the Springneld Delega
tion. Canton, O., Oct. 1. It took three spe
eial trains to bring the Portape county,
Ohio, delegation to Canton today and It
numbered more than 1.600 siuls. There
were McKlnley and Hubart dubs hem
nil the towns in the euunty and three
murchinK clubs composed entirely of
women. In the drizzling rain they
marched with tUiKS Hying and handa
playing, through the streets of Canton
towards Major McKlnley's residence.
When they were within two blocks of
It the Indications for a heavy xtorin
seemed so strong that tne long line of
enthusiasts from Portage county turn
ed back to the Tabernacle, where
Major McKlnley addressed them. The
spokesman for the Portage county 'peo
ple was ex-State Senator S. P. Wol
cott. In response to his remarks.
Major McKlnley made a speech which
was greeted from start to llnisli with
cheers and tumultuous applause.
"We propose in this content to pro
tect our money from debasement and
with the same votes to protect our In
dustries front foreign competition," ex
claimed Major Mckinley In commenc
ing Ills remarks, and Ihls utterance
was the keynote of his speech. Con
tinuing, Major McKlnley said:
In the great contests of tile past, both in
war utnl in peace, the Kepiiiilicun party

Our contention this year appeals to the

will we permit the name and honor of this

'I'lils is the vein' to settle for all time that
our national honor will not and cannot lie

Detrlot, Mich., Oct, 1. Max Klan
owskl was arrested last night and
locked up in the Cheue street station
for insisting on attending a dance
where he was not wanted. While
standing in front, of the sergeant's
desk, he suddenly gave a whoop, and,
dropping on all fours, chased around
the room, attempting to bile the po
licemen. Everybody retreated, and Klan
owski attacked the woodwork of the
desk, howling like a dog. At lust he
was captured, tightly bound and sent
to the hospital. Physicians are at a loss
to account for this sudden attack, but
think he has hydrophobia.
THIRD DAY'S SESSION.
Interesting Papers Head Before the
Homeopathic Medical Nociety.
Philadelphia, Oct, 1. Papers upon
opthalomy, otology and. laryngology
were read before the Homeopathic
State Medical society today the third
(lay's session of the society's annual
convention. One of the principal (tap
ers was by Dr. H. F. Sehanu, of Head
ing, upon Ophthalmia Neonatorum"
(inflammation of the: eyes.) The subject
was treated in detail and Dr. Schanti
said:
"The proportion of the blind In our
asylums who have lost their sight as
the result of purulent Inflammations of
the eye in infancy. Is so large that the
efforts In securing legislation to com
pel the reporting of all inflamed eyes
in the new born seems to be warranted.
I feel that while our Pennsylvania state
board of health Is rather too extreme
in the statements In their circular on
'The Prevention of Blindness' in say
ing 'No one should become blind from.
thU disease,' these statements will only
bave the tendency of making us more
careful In our work."
A number of other papers-were read
at the morning and afternoon sessions.
The following otttcers were elected to
serve for one year: President, Dr. Z.
T. Miller, Pittsburg; first vice-president,
Dr. William H. Kelm. Philadel
phia; second vice-president. Dr. Horace

FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED.
Disastrous Accident on the Baltimore
and Ohio RailroadTwo Lives
Known to Have Been Lost.
Cumberland. Mil., Oct. 1. At 11. SO
o'clock lust night one of the most dis
astrous freight wrecks known in the
history of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road occurred on the eastern slope of
the Pittsburg division, ul Philson, 'JK
miles west of this city. Two lives are
known to have been lost mid It Is be
lieved a n u in Per of bodies ure still bul
led In the wreck.
Fast freight east, No. 74, was sched
uled to ntcvt west bound freight No.
at I'hilsoti. The latter train reached the
siding and waited on the main track
for the east bound train which was to
bave taken the siding. No. 74 left Sand
Patch, which is the summit of the Al
legheuies, S miles above Hbilsoil, on
lime, but shortly alter starting down
the guiido the crew losl control of the
train. By reason of the wet rails the
brakes hud no effect and when the en
gineer reversed his engine, the cylinder
hi'iiil blew out. In an instant the train
w as going ul express speed, und I he
crew decided lo lake chances by re
maining aboard rather than jump in the
darkness to almost certain death. As
the engine shot round the curve at
t'hilsoti the engineer saw' lite headlight
of No, 05 a Ilea d. ami swung himself off
in the darkness. The train struck with
an awful crash. Hut li engines were
crushed Into scrap iron and I lie debris
of hum 4" lo tin curs was piled in a vast
Ina p. higher than the telegraph wiles.
Wrecking civvvs have been working all

TRAIN WRECKERS AT WORK.
A Diiilardlv Attempt to Ditch a Train
eur Altoona.
Altoona, Pa., Oct. 1. A most dastard
ly attempt was made to wreck the
train near Graziervllle, a short dis
tance east of this city, late last night.
Altoona accommodation, due here at 10
P. ni., ran into a tie chained to the
track. Fortunately the train, which
was crowded with passengers, was
moving very slowly at the time and
this fact averted what would probably
have been a horrible accident.
The train was brought to a sudden
stop and two men who were seen run
ning away were chased some distance,
but they escaped to the woods. It was
evidently the intention of the villains
to wreck tho St. Louis express, the
Pennsylvania railroad vestibuled train
due here at 10.45. the first train after
Altoona accommodation. It makes no
stops betweeen Harrisburg and this
city and runs very fast at Graziervllle.
Color is added to this theory by the
fact that the tie was fastened to only
one of the rails, the train-wreckers
evidently being frightened away by the
approach of the accommodation, which
was late, and it Is believed the crimi
nals thought it had passed that point.
The chain which was used to fasten
the tie to the track was brought to
this city and an effort Is being made to
catch the men, who are believed to be
the same parties that made the at
tempt to wreck the western express in
a similar manner, last week, and to
wreck the southwestern express the
week before.

. Bodies in the Path of the Storm.
School House Demolished and five
Children Are KillcdA Teacher
Injured.
Memphis, Tenn.. Oct. l.rA special to
the Commercial Appeal from Jackson
ville, Fla,, says:
It is a conservative estifuate to say
that fifty people have lost their lives
from Tuesday's hurricane, and the
number muy run much higher. News
from thut portion of the state where
the storm llrst struck is very slow In
coming. The hurricane struck Florida
at Cedar Key and reports show that it
passed in the path of destruction over
twenty towns and villages, and that
between thirty and forty people have
certainly been killed. Cedar Keys Is
about one hundred miles southwest of
Jacksonville. The hurricane which has
been churning the water of the Guif
llrst struck this place, a village of LMm
inhabitants. The only report which
has come concerning Cednr Keys Is thnt
the town tins been swept nwav and
many lives have been lost. This re
port comes from Gainesville, which Is
fifty miles away. Nobody has been
able to get anything direct from Cedar
Keys. Moving northeasterly, the storm
struck Willlstown, a small tow n, where
eleven houses Were blown down, one
person wus killed and several so badly
hurt that It is expected that they will
die. Near here Is a large turpentine
fiirni. where state convicts are em
ployed. Twenty of these were huddled
together in a cabin. A heavy tree was
blown across the cabin and six of the
convicts were crushed to death.
In Alachua comity the storm did
frightful work. In Gainesville the
Methodist church and about twenty
residences and business houses were
destroyed, mid while n number of peo
ple were hurl, no fatalities are reort
cil. At La Crosse fifteen buildings were
destroyed. Rev. W. A. Hair, Mrs. F. F.
Mcintosh and her babe are reported
killed. Neur (here four laborers, who
were In a cabin at a turpentine farm,
were crushed by falling trees. New
berry, In West Alachua, is totally
wrecked, c, J. Kastlln, .Mrs. Nancy
Moss. Krank (llmstead and Duvld Jones
were k.lled.
At High Springs. Melissa Harden.
Jane Morris and Sallie Nobles, colored,
are reported lo have been killed. At
this place a number of people took re
fuge in a box car, which wus in the
puth of the cyclone. It wus blown
along the track and then off It u dis
tance of fifty feet it nd every person in
11 was badly injured. Steve Mason and
George Johnson have since died.
TWELVE HOUSES BLOWN DOWN.
At Oracy, a small place, twelve hous
es were blown down and a woman wus
killed. Her baby was uninjured, al
though It was carried some distance by
the force of the wind. At Lake Butler,
Bradford county, Mrs. C. H. Harkey,
Mrs. J. M. Fitch and her Infant were
fatally hurt. Many buildings were
blown down. At this place the wind
blew to pieces two cars loaded with
bricks, and a negro, Harry Sullivan,
who was some yards away, was killed
by being struck by one of the flying
bricks. On Judge Richard's turnpen
tlne farm four convicts were killed by
falling trees. In Baker county four
towns were almost totally destroyed.
They were McKlerjiy, Sanderson, Glen
St. Mary and Olustee. No one was
killed outright In these towns , but
many were Injured, among whom were
Mrs. C. S. Richardson, James McAlphin
and Xorth Webster, all of whom will
die. At Live Oak the destruction Is
complete, but no loss of life is reported.
Near Welberne the house of Amos
White was destroyed and two of his
children killed. At Lake City eight
business houses and thirteen dwellings
were destroyed. Mrs. Sarah Fletcher
and two boys were killed, and Dora
Jennings, Samuel Hudson and Jonas
Mahrey were fatally Injured. Six per
pons are reported killed at Fort White,
In Columbia county, but no names are
The hurricane passed over Duval
county, striking the edges of Jackson
ville, but doing very little damage.
There was no loss of life. Just north of
here, however, in Nassau county, con
siderable destruction Is reported. Five
children were killed In the wreck of a
school house. Miss Stewart, the teacher,
had her arm broken. 1. 11a Rails, a 12-year-old
girl, was killed at her home,
her mother being fatally Injured. Harry
Johnson was also killed. At Hlllyards
another school house was wrecked and
four children were killed. At Kings
Ferry Andy Johnson, Moses Lassiter,
Simon Henderson, May Jones and a
child were killed. Mrs. Fisher was nurs
ing a sick child and the infant died
us the house fell. The mother was hurt
but will recover. Three sailors were
killed on schooners that were loading
lumber at Kings Ferry. Across the line
into Georgia the devastation was con
tinued. At Folkston, which Is near the
Okefenokee Swamp, the school house
was wrecked and four children killed.
Several casualties are reported in
Camden county, Ga.
The storm then continued on Its way
to Brunswick and Savannah. There Is
no way to estimate the property losses
in Florida. The losses may seem heav
ier than when closely examined, but the
opinion of the Insurance men here Is
that he Florida losses will foot up to
U.UOO.OUO. This seems, however, an ex
cessive estimate.

Sewall, and It is probable they will ac
cept. Philadelphia, Oct. 1. The American
of this week will print an editorial with
the caption: Sewall or Watson
Which or Neither?" In which It calls
on both these gentlemen in the inter
est of the election of Bryun to with
draw In order that Chairman Jones
may name a candidate who will be ac
ceptable to all interests. Wharton
Barker writes:
"Bryan is acceptable to all. But
Sewull Is not. Neither Is Wutson. We
Impugn neither the Americanism of Mr.
Sewull nor Mr. Wutson, but neither is
recognized by all parties as the man
for the crisis. Mr. Sewall is not ac
ceptable to the Populists, The Demo
crats will not take Mr. Watson. What,
then, are we to do? We answer: Take
litem both down. Put up a candidate
ucceptnble to all Americans.
"Such a man can certainly be found.
Who that man Is, Is not for us to say.
It is not for Democrats or Populists or
bi-metalllc Republicans. The man for
the place must not be the candidate of
any parly; lie must be the candidate of
ull. It is for the trusted leaders of our
wage-earning class, In unison with the
leaders of the Democratic and Populist
parties and of the bl-metalllc Republi
cans, lo say who that man shall be.
The election Is only live weeks off, but
there Is yet time to take down both
Messrs. Sewall und Watson and put up
a new man who will stand for all
Americans. If this is (lone, nothing
can prevent the election of Mr. Bryan
by an overwhelming vote."
Chicago, Oct. 1. Popucratic National
Chairman Jones declares he hus wash
ed his hands for good and all of the
Watson complications, and that so far
as the national committee Is concerned
Mr. Sewall will remain on the ticket
unless he should voluntarily withdraw,
and, says the national chairman, "at
this late day he Is hardly likely to do
anything of the kind."
TO AID THE STRIKING MINERS.
Bodies of Armed Men Reported to Be
Entering Leadville.
Lendvllle, Col., Oct. 1. General
Brooks has been notified thut quite a
body of armed men, who had apparent
ly left an incoming train at Arkansas
Junction, passed the Government fish
hatchery, six miles west of the city,
Monday, and there inquired the way to
Leadville. They refused to answer
questions, and left hurriedly. On Tues
day another armed body appeared at
the hatchery and asked the same ques
tion. General Brooks will place the
militia in such a way as to intercept
any similar parties.
The possibility of ending the strike by
arbitration or other amicable means
has disappeared, for the time being at
least, the Cloud City Miners' union
having voted In regular meeting last
night to continue indefinitely its fight
for uniform wages of lit per day for all
of the men In all the mines.
Two hundred members of the union
have withdrawn and will seek work.
The mine operators will fill the places
of the Btrikers with outsiders as rapid
ly as possible, and the state militia will
probably be kept here a long time.
