At least twenty-live persons, the majority of whom were passengors on the express train, also were injured. Three per sons still are missing and may be add ed to the list of dead. The wreck was preceded by a cloud burnt and storm which lasted for two hours. A section of the bank fell on the eastbound tracks directly in front of the freight train. Several trees went down with the rocks nnd the enrth. and the freight cars aud engine were turned over directly across llie west bound tracks. Sixty freight cars con stituted the train, though only twenty two left the rails, and the wreckage was piled up on the westbound tracks just sis No. 7 Chicago express appear ed, running :it the rate of flfl.v miles an hour. The engine of the express train crashed into the wreck, and the bag gage car. combination aud buffet car and two Pullman sleepers were plied up on the tracks immediately in front of the wrecked freight cars. The first sleeper was split into two parts as a result of the accident, anil the pas sengers were thrown thirty feet down a bank. Fire started at once, and four cars of No. 7 and nine of the freight ears were burned. Several thieves from Port Jervis. it is supposed reached the scene of the wreck on the relief train, ransacked the clothinc of the passengers in the period of excitement. 1 \ View, a mil iinery decorator of No. West Third street.

I mii mi Cars of the Big Consolidated j Company Are Said to Be Poorly Patronized. STRIKERS ARE JUBILANT. Merchants, in Fear of Losing Trade, Yield to the Request Made by the Union Men of the City. Business Men of All Clusses, Refuse to Sell Goods to Those Who Pat ronize the Big Consolidated Lines— Far-Reaclilng F.flTeet of Strikers' i Latest Move. Cleveland, Aug. 1. —Now that order has been practically restored within the city the street railroad strike has resolved itself into a general boycott of the Big Consolidated Company and everybody who rides upon i1 s ears. Apparently the strikers have the sym pathy and active co-operation ol' all the labor organizations in the ijlty, and not only are merchants being punished tor riding on the tabooed cars, but they are warned against selling goods to I !>ons who do ride, on threat ot los iiv. ihe trade of union meu. Instances given in which druggists have re t -i-ij to sell medicine to persons who were accused of patronizing the Big < oii>olidHted. and physicians have been boycotted for riding on the cars while going to sec their patients. The boycott is most severe on the small dealers who do business on streets that are populated largely by union men and their sympathizers. A lumber of these merchants have pub lished advertisements offering rewards ranging from to SSOO. for evidence that they or any of their clerks or rela tives have ridden on the ears since the strike began, and a number of com munications have been sent to the pa pers by physicians, grocers, butchers and others, protesting their innocence of the charge of having patronized the railroad company. As yet the big retail merchants have not felt the effects of the boycott severely, though it is t-ahl some of them have been rei|iicsied to forbid their clerks to ride on the cars. Thousands of working people are go inu' to and from their homes in 'buses of every description, from huckster wagons to tally-hos, and in certain sections of the city the cars run with few passengers. The boycott of the troops aroused the ire of Adjutant General Axline. who declares thai there is a State law i t punish persoi's who interfere with the militia. There is one section of the statutes which provides a maximum penalty of SI,OOO line and six months' imprisonment for every person who tries to persuade or discourage a mem ber of Hie National Gtinrd from re spending to a call for riot duty. (!en ernl Axline says the boycott and the threat of certain employers to put on the blacklist those employes who turn ed out with the militia are covered by th's law. and he threatens to institute prosecutions against dealers it the boy cot t is colli billed. Out on <>uincy street boycotting tat ties are being worked with the result th.it families whose members have been riding on cars are unable to buy any tiling at the stores along the line. The storekeepers have entered into the plan of campaign with a willingness that in maiiv cases reaches the point of enthusiasm. A committee of men. who said that they had the best interests of Ifie« Big Consolidated strikers at heart, called on one of the biggest retail houses in Cleveland, and asked the management to decline to sell goods to persons who ride on Big Consolidated cars while the strike is on. This same committee visited other downtown merchants, it is said, with a like request. The Williams & Uodgers Co.. one of the bifllgest department stores in the city, was uotified that one of its em plo.ves had la»en riding on a Big Con solldated car. The Company replied by issuing an order to its employes in Ntriictlag them not to ride on the cars of the company. May A- Co.'s em ployes aUp refrain from riding on the Big Consolidated street cars. Harry Decker A: Co.. dry goods nier chants of the west side, had an experi ence that Illustrates well the situation. Members of this firm persisted - in rid ing in the street curs, it was said, and the result was that most of their trade left the house, and Mr. DecKer sent SIOO to the strikers' Executive Board asking them to call the boycott off.
