In some way prevail.
Money has become abundant and easy

Neither the advance of i cents In ex-
change nor the small absorption of gold
by the treasury has been felt, for tho mar
ket is a long way beyond tho point nt
which it waited with breathless anxiety
for steamers. Monetary conditions fnvor

The Liberty Hull's Homo Coming.
Philadelphia, Sept. 23. The World
fair committee of city councils Is arrang
lng for tho return trip of the Liberty boll
to this city. The trip homeward will bo
under tho auspices of the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad, and it is proposed
to take tho relic, which has attracted so
much attention nt tho Columbian expo
sition, through tiie New England states,
but the exact route has not yot beou de
cided upon. It is probable that tho bell
will bo taken northward from Chicago
nnd brought east by way of Buffalo.
After a direct tour of Now York state the
train will go as far north as Portlnnd, Mo.,
and than como southward by easy stagos.
One of tho principal stops will be at Bos

bo given a view of the "proclaimor of
liberty." The return journey will occupy
about a week, it being proposed to leavo
Chicago on Oct. 30 and reach Philadelphia

Fatal Fight Over Claim.
Hennessy, Sept. 23. James A. Liddle,
one of the most prominent business men
of this place, received a telegram from
Waukomis, stating that his brother,father
and nephew were killed in a fight over a
claim near there. Eight men wero on one
claim, and tho younger Liddle was struck
with a broadax by a man named Williams,
of Texas. Father and son then jumped to
his rescue, and Williams pulled his gun
nnd killed them both. Ho then drew his
knife aud plunged it into the heart of tho
boy.

reason to believe that none of them know
anything about tho big campaign contrlbii'

fore-Judge Greshnm was thought of for
secretary of state.
Tho prosident objected to Van Aim
holding that he was not a suitable ma:
for the placo. Meantime ho offered tlii
mission to other Democrats, men whom
ho regarded ns well qualified for tho du

being that none but a wealthy man could
hold tho position; Hint all the environ
Inents required a lavish display of wealth
and that oven the Americans in Home
looked witli contempt upon the mini

Finally tho president concluded that
none but a millionaire who could entert ii

An instant of forgetfulness. or absent-
minilednoss, on tiie pnrt of a brnkeman
who is given tho host of reputation by t he
Wnbash oflicers, tells thu story of tho sec
onds thnt preceded the catastrophe. As to
the f nets themselves there is no room for
dispute. Freight train No. 4, cast bound
from Chicago, win duo at tills point at
4:20. It was under orders to tnko the sid
ing and await the arrival of wost hound
passenger express No. 5, which according
to tho schedule should havo passed the
Kingsbury depot at 4:40. Tho express,
however, was over an hour late, and, ow
ing to the heavy travel growing out of the
World's fair, was divided into two sec
tions, tho second section running twelve
minutes behind tho Ilrst,
Both KoCtloiis wero mado up nt Buffalo,
the passengers including people from that
city as well as from the various Hues cen
tering in it from Canada nnd tho oast.
With the knowledge that under tho sched
ule ho had twenty minutes lo spare, En
gineer Whitman, of tho freight trnin, pro
ceeded up the siding to tho mnin lino to
take wntur, tho switch bolng thrown open
by Herbert Thompson, tho trackman of
of tho freight. After thoengino hndtaken
Water tho freight was backed to the sid
ing nnd Thompson closed tho switch. Ho-
garding this latter fact thero Is no room
for question for nt 5:10 the first section of
the express, thirty minutes late, swept
past on tbo main track, giving tho usual
signal one and two short blasts to inti
mate to tho freight that a second section
was following close behind.
What wero the movements of Brnke
man Thompson In the next few moments
remnlns to be developed. Certain it Is
thnt when twelve minutes later tho sec
ond section ot the west bound express
catno thundering along at a speed of forty
miles an hour tho switch was open. Like
a flash of lightning, therefore, tho train
took the siding and crashed into the wait
ing freight standing thero. A second
later aud tho air was filled with shrlekB,
groans, moans and piteous nppeals for help
and assistance. Tho passenger train con
sisted of a baggage car, threo ordinary
conches nnd two sleepers, and tho force of
tho collision was such that only tho rear
sleeper escaped injury.
Tho locomotive of the freight car was
driven half way into the moat car in its
rear, the baggago car of tho passenger
tr tin was thrown aside, while the passenger
coaches partially telescoped each other,
and the third, a Grand Trunk coach, cut
in two tho sleeping car "Kansas City,"
carrying nway the smoking compartment
aud sections 1 nnd 3 ns eleinas though
thoy had been trimmed uith a razor
edged nx. The two forward couches were
completely wrecked and the occupants
burled in tho debris.
Awakened by the shock of the collision
the sleepers in tho roar palace car poured
out without waiting to don the clothing
they had discarded the night before, nnd
aided by the trainmen nnd those of the
passengers who escnped injury set them
selves to work to rescuing the injured. In
the meantime the residents of the farm
houses immediately adjacent to the track
had been awakonod, and immediately
men, women and girls hurried to tho scene
and lout what assistance they could.
Most of tho dead and injured were in tbo
two forward day coaches, and these wore
so completely wrecked thnt the work of
extricating the dead nnd dying was a com
paratively easy one. One after another
tho lifeless forms were brought out of
heaps of timber aud placed in a row on the
west side of the track, while the injured
were carried to the meadow on the east
side and cared for by the villagers, who
ministered to their sufferings and allevi
ated their pains as far as their facilities
at hand would permit.
Iu the meantime news of the catastrophe
had been wired to La Porte, Westville,
Union Mills, Michigan City aud other
points wltbtn a radius of a score of miles,
and in a short time scores of bugic,
wagons and vebiclas of every descripLiuii
were at the scene. Iu these the injured
were conveyed to the farm houses and res
idences of the neighborhood, the doors of
which were thrown wide open by the occu
pants, the latter devoting themselvas to
the temporary relief of the sufferers, pend
ing the arrival ot medical assistance.
The boy French, with Kdward Russ aud
William Kvans, lioth of whom weie ilan-
, gerously wounded, belonged lo a company
i known as the Barnados Musical troupe,
I from the London Orphan asylum, rou
i dueled by that noted philanthropist. They
bad twen booked for a concert at the head
quarters of ths Kpworth league, just out
aids the World's fair grounds, yesterday.
Two soore men are scouring the sur
rounding country for Herbert Thompson,
the brakeman, to whose neglect the re
sponsibility for the catastrophe is placed.
I After the freight train had backed to itri
siding to await the passing of the express
his movements were uot observed by any
of tho crew. When, however, Knglneer
Whitman had succeeded in extricating
himself from the debris ot the meat car,
into whic . he had been driven by the force
ot the collision, he found Thompson stand
ing on the track as pale as a ghost aud
trembling in every fibre.
I "What have you douef" demanded the
I engineer, whose arm hung helpless by
his side, while the blood poured from a
' eut iu his head. "I must have left the
switch opeu," was Thompson's reply, and
without another word he took to hi heels
and disappeared.
