ALTOONA, Pa, June 13.—Whi1e coming down t-he mountain from Lloydsvxlle to Bellwood on the Pennsylvania and North- werstern railroad at an early hour Friday morning a heavy coal train got beyond control of the trainmen, and dashing down the grade at a fearful rate of speed was piled up and smashed into kindhng wood at a curve on the side of a deep ravme about three miles north of Bellwood. . The engine and twenty-five cars, which had been loaded with coal, lay piled up in a mass of broken wood and twisted Iron at the bottom of the ravine, and among the debris were the bodies of the con- ductor, engineer and one brakeman, With almost all semblance to humanity crushed out of them. . The other train hands escaped with their lives, but all were more or less injured. The track is torn up and blockaded for a long distance and passengers are being transferred by way Of Altoona and Cres- son. The accident is supposed to have been caused by wet rails and the air brakes refusing to work properly. It has been impossible to. learn the names of all the killed and injured men. Twelve Cars Demolished. MARQUETTE, Mich, June 13.——A South Shore train plunged down the steep grade at L’Anse Hill, jumped the track in front of the station and smashed the station into kindling wood. Twelve cars were de— mOlished. The engineer was probably fa— tally injured and two of the brakemen slightly hurt. The grade is a very steep one. One of the cars was loaded with horses, and the shrieks of the alfrighted animals added to the horror. The accident was due to the failure of the brakes to act. Knights of the Mystic Chain.

LONDON, June 13,—A meeting of dele- gates representing the striking drivers and conductors of all the omnibus yards in the city was held Friday, at which it was resolved to accept the offer of the masters to concede a twelve hour day with a slight increase of wages. The men will, by the terms of the agreement argived at, resume work Saturday morning. The set- tlement of the strike is the cause of very general satisfaction. ‘ An Oil Tank Fired by Lightning. FRANELIN, Pa., June 13.—The 35,000 barrel tank at the Bullion Pump station was struck by lightning and set on fire. The tank had only 1,000 barrels of oil in it at the time.

NEW YORK, June 12.—Money loaned at easy rates—via, ems per cent. Exchange steady; posted rates, 84.85% for sixty days and $4.88}§ for demand; actual rates, $4.84§4@$4.85 for sixty days and SAFE/@8468 for demand. Gévern- ments steady; currency GS, 109 bid; is, coupon, 118 bid; 414s do, 100 bid. There was a better feeling on the :5ka mar- ket this morning, owing to the easier rates money and the fact that no gold had been en- gaged-for shipment, notwithstanding the high sterling exchange rates. Dealings continue very limited. This morning the total transac- tions were several thousand shares less than the amount sold during the two hours of yes- terday morning. Fluctuations were cenfined within very narrow range. Chicago Gas was especially weak and declined 1 per cent. to 54%. St. Paul, Atchison, Louisville, Rock Island and Union Pacific absorbed most of the speculation. Aside from Chicago Gas and a few others val- ues at noon were fractionally higher than those of yesterday. At the close the market was dull. The sales for the morning were 54,000 shares.

Declaring a Close Sealing Season—The State Department Questioned About the Shelved Congo Treaty. WASHINGTON, June 13.—The statement of Comptroller Lacey in regard to the Key- stone National bank of Philadelpaia‘ was laid before the cabinet by Secretary Foster Friday. Later the statement was sent to Mayor Stuart. Behring sea matters were also considered by‘ the cabinet. Attorney General Miller and Assistant Secretary of State Moore had a long conference with the president in the morning before the cabinet assem- bled. Mr. Moore has the Behring sea mat- ter in charge, and he put the president in possession of all the latest information in the case. As Great Britain has finished her part in the declaring of a close season it is most likely the cabinet will finish up what little remains for the United States to do, and. the president will shortly issue his procla mation, a draft of which Assistant Secre‘ tary Moore had with him at the White House. The Cabinet assembled about half- past 11 o’clock, Secretaries Blaine, Proctor and Noble being absent. An Erroneous Intimation Corrected. Complaints have been lodged with the state department from several religious and philanthropic societies of Chicago, New York and other large cities against the action of the United States senate in hanging up the Congo treaty. The secre- tary of the Congregational association has written to inquire as to the true status of the question, and intimates that a. belief is current that the treaty was smothered in the senate because it prohibited the rum and slave trades. The secretary of the association has been assured that the reasons for the non-con- currence in action of the Brussels confer- ence are believed to be international ques- tions which came up, in which the rum and slave trade had no part whatever. The United States senate would natural~ 1y hesitate before entering into entangling alliances across the sea. Again, it is not desirous of becoming a party to the settle- ment of several disputes over African ter- ritory. Again, it is stated that the Brus- sels conference ignored every American republic except the United States in ex- tending its invitations. These are a few of the reasons which are popularly believed to be responsible for the fate of the treaty in the senate The treaty failed of the necessary two-thirds vote and is now pending on a motion to reconsider. Conscience Stricken. Treasurer Nebecker was surprised to re- ceive from Philadelphia fifty dollars in money. The cash was in an envelope with a slip of paper saying, “This money be- longs to the United States.” The treasury department sent the money to the con- science fund. Dr. Scott, Mrs. Harrison’s father, left for Port Townsend, Wash, where he will spend the summer with his son. Mrs. Har- rison and family will go to Cape May next week. . ' Hill Couldn’ "Attend. N EW YORK, June 13.—-Governor Hill and Colonel Judson, his private secretary, ar- rived at the Hotel Normandie. There were awaiting the governor three gentlemen from the south—Hon. Patrick Walsh, ed- itor of the Augusta Chronicle, and Messrs. R. S. Archer, of Richmond, and G. P. Brand, of Augusta. Ga. They were a delegation from Augusta, and their mission to this city was to invite Governor Hill to attend the Au- gusta ex position, which will open during the week beginning Sept. 21. Mr. Walsh promised the governor a hearty re- ception, but as Mr. Hill is slated for a visit to Atlanta the governor had to re- spectfully decline—regretfully, of course. The delegation departed disappointed. \Vholesale Ice Cream Poisoning. BLOOMINGTON, Ills., June 13.—Guests at Several social entertainments here recently have been poisoned by ice cream, and fully a hundred persons are suffering more or less from this cause. Some narrow escapes from fatal results have been reported, and the matter causes much excitement. BRIEF MENTION. It is stated that Father Mollinger, of Allegheny, Pa, who is said to continually perform miraculous cures of all ailments that flesh is heir to, has been summoned to Rome by the pope, and that he will de- part for the vatican on Monday next. Dr. Green, Dr. Patton, Dr. Aikin and other Princeton theologians were very strong in their denials of the charges made; by Dr. Parkhurst, of New York, in the columns of The Evangelist, in which he said i hat. Princeton controlled the Pres- byterian general assembly and had packed thecommittee on seminaries. Richard J. Trumbull, the Chilian repre- sentative, had a long consultation with. President Harrison, and, it is said, made a plea for the recognition of the, insurgent cause. The Parisian newspaper Le National an- nounced that M. de Lesseps will be legal- ly prosecutel forhaving misled the French investors in ihe Panama canal project. Fourteen pieces of iron were extracted from the heel of Miss Ada Handwork, of Pottstown, Pa. The presence of the metal cannot be explained. ‘ Lieutenant Peary and his expedition on ' the steamer Kite touched at Cape Breton- and took ‘on coal. The party were all in good health, The blacklisted miners in the Pennsyl- vania coke region are living on bread and water, and great suffering is predicted. The Behring sea bill received the royal assent. " Jake Schaefer, the great billiard expert, and Miss Lillian Cammerer were married in New York. ' g, N o arrest was made in the Philadelphia city treasury scandal; The mayor’s ex- perts have uncovered more crimes. troller Thompson sent a communication to councils criticising state ofllcials for their neglect in collecting state funds from Treasurer Bardsley. He also called atten- tion to the fact that Mr. Bardsley had col- lected from the city $90,000 in 1890 for the tax on state loans and had not paid-it over to the state. Attorney General I-Iensel toposes to hold the city responsible tot- ammo lost by Mr. Bardsley. ._ | ' . ‘ ELECTRIC“— BELL Comp- , UR.GLAR—-————' ., , ‘ ALARMS Annunciators, Automatic Gas Lighting and Electric Wiring in all 1igs brafiches agdbgagg- faction uaranteed. 00R ELLs, .
