the "Cannon Ball."
‘ EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 11..—Tli'e most
disastrous wreck that has ever occurred on
the Evansville and Torre Haute railroad
took place early today as the train known
as the “Cannon Ball,” from Chicago, was
rains have had a terrible effect on the road-
bed, and the entire service of the road has
been directed since last Friday in getting
the road in shape for travel. It was pro-
nounced safe lust- iiiglit. and train service
was resumed. All trains had orders tr:
proceed cautiously on Slow time for safety,
and the train that was wrecked was com-
ing on under these orders.
At a point three-quarters of a mile north
of Hazelton, where the roadbed is built on
an embankment. the track suddenly gave
way, and the engine. baggage our and a
part or the smoker went. down.
The org-inc turned overpbut the baggage
r .i:' i'ciiiained upright. The smoker hung
over the abyss.
Engineer William hIcCutcheon escaped
death, but his fireman, Joe Bolcman, was
killed. Conductor George Scars of Torre
Haute, who was in the smoker. was alsc
killed. It is reported that. tlicre were 15
passengers in the smoker, and all of those
were killed. It is impossible to get their
names, as they are still in the wreck.
Shortly after the train went down the
crevasse spread, and it is now 100 feet
wide. The baggage and smoker, which
contains the ill fated passengers, floated oil
into the field. Where the accident occurred
there is a long stretch of embankment,
upon which the track is laid. This is sur«
rounded by backwater from White river.
It is supposed that ground hogs had bur»
rowed under the embankment to get away
from the flood and that the water followed,

Inaking the accident possible.
The sleepers and Indies’. coach were
taken back to Vincenncs. Many Evans-
ville peoplo were in the sleeper.
Another Account of the ”VI/reek.
PRINCETON, Ind., March 11.——A fright-
ful wrcck occurred early today ten miles
north of this place on the Evansville and
Torre Haute railroad.
F or the past week several small bridges
and large sections of track have been
washed away, but every precaution had
been taken to avoid accident.
In spite of all this, passenger train No.
5 had the truck washed Out from under it,
and the Emoking car now lies in the bot-
tom Of the river, with every passenger in
it lost. ‘
The balance of the train is lodged in
tree tops 50 or 75 yards from the. truck.
Conductor Sears and the fire..;.;n are
known to be among the 10st.
On account of the washout and the
breaking of tlic tccgrapli wires no word
can be received on the. Princeton side of
the river, and it- is not known whether any
of the passengers in the day coaches is
lost.
Don't. \Vaut the Poles.
NEw BuiTAix, Conn, March 11.—As
the result of the recent arrest of several
Poles residing here for counterfeiting. all
the prominent manufacturers have taken
concerted action and given instructions to
their foreman that any other nationality
but Poles be. given the preference when-
ever any vacancy occurs. There has been a
considerable loss by thcft among the vari-
ous firms which could not be located, but-
with the arrest Of Polish counterfeiters it
was shown that all the material used in
their iiinuufncture cf the molds and of the
spurious coins was stolen from the Cliffor-
ent factories iii-which the men were em-
ployed. '
The "521:; “Heathen Chlnee."

nent members of the See Yup society, left
the city for Washington Monday night.

WASHINGTON, March 11.—Mrs. Leslie
Carter. the well known actress, is serious-
ly ill at the Shoreliain hotcl here with
acute laryngitis, brought on by the strain
put upon her vocal chords as the heroine
of David Bolusco‘s “The Heart of Mary-
land. " Mrs. Carter’s condition is such as
to render it highly improbable that she
will be able to appear in public for some
time to come.
Threatened Indian Trouble.
WASHINGTON, March 11.——Agent Rand-
lettc of the Uint-nli and Ouray Indian
agency has telegraphed that 15 men who
had made locations on the land of the Un-
compahgre reservation refused to leave

line with a. dispatch of last week, on the
strength of which Secretary Bliss asked
for troops.

A NEW JOURNALISM. i
NOTHING 80 GREAT AS TO PHASE
RETAILERS OF SENSATIONALISM.
President Harrison’s Opportunity to Be-
comea Reporter at. $1,000 a Day—A
Woman Tells of Her Efforts to Do Orig-
inal Work for New York Newspapers.
A woman correspondent writing from
New York to the London News enter-
tainingly gives an insight into the
methods Of New JOurnalism, as it is
practiced by the World and Journal
originators, and hundreds of small im-
itators throughout the country:
The path of glory that leads else-
where but to the grave. here leads as
inevitably into journalism. Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison was offered $1,000 a day
by a New York paper to report the
proceedings Of the last National Re-
publican Convention. William Jen-
nings Bryan, after a term in Congress,
and being defeated for the Presidency,
is considering the proposition to come
to W'ashington as the special corres-
pondent Of a New York paper. In the
universality of its aim and scope, jour-
nalism in the United States has left
very little to the exclusive use of the
dime museum.
During the past summer. Julian
Hawthorne, the novelist, figured in
New York journalism as a society i'c-
porter at Newport and Bar Harbor.
Edgar Saltus, the philosopher of ne-
'gntion. is winning iicw lfllll‘MS {IS a
police reporter in New York, and Std
plieu Crane, with truly American cu.-
tci'prise in journalism, after first got-
ting himself into the police court, on
gages his genius as a police court re-
porter.
Any hint of the characteristics 01
American journalism would be incom-
plete that failed to include a notion of
the part women played in it.
\Vhile the New Woman has crowded
into other professions, usurping the
places of men, She has fairly bloomer-
i‘zed journalism in the United States
She has given it a sex. There is adis
tinct woman-journalism prevailing in
this country, which compasses a line
of work not done by men, not possible
to be done by them, since its whole
value adheres to the sex it represents.
This originated in New York wiilivccr-
tain productions Of a sensational char-
acter, done by a woman, which while
gaining additional value from the fem-
ininity Of the writer, still retained
some of the elements of legitimate
journalism. It was imitated all over
the country, and finally developed into
a pure exhibition of sex—a lllllllfitll'ulllt'
0f the abnormal woman. The most
conspicuous and best-paid women of
the Press in America are frequently
unable to write a. grammatical para-
graph; they are “journalists” in the
exercise of extraordinary physics;
age, or by virtue of an applicatiOu or
their sex in relations impossible for a
man to assume. A record of their most
brilliant “journalistic” achievements
would include going down in :2 .ltvinc-
bell to the bottom of the sen; Criving
a fire (engine; feigning pregnancy Ir.
expose the extent of criminal practice
among,r the medical profession; feign-
ing drunkenness on the street in. order
to get committed to jail to expose the
experience of a woman behind ”the
bars; assisting to arrest a murderer;
acting with the police in New York
harbor; spending: a night in a tomb;
riding one among seven men on an
eight-manned wliccl; wrestling with
the trainers of professional pi'izcfiglit-
01's, etc.
The fine gradations of valiic,.iu this
work I have personally tested.
I undertook for one of the New York
dailies to acquire the experience of a
woman seeking :1 place in the lovcru-
iiicnt at Washington. I solicited 0f-
ficc from all the New York Senators
and members of Congress, from all the
Cabinet officials and from President
Cleveland himself. The editor on re-
ceipt: of this story telegraphed me his
satisfaction, and I looked for the next
Sunday's paper. expecting to figure as
the star attraction. But alas for the
gi'czitness of the American Indy jour-
nalist, I appeared as a more sideshow,
while the honors Of the day were car-
ried off by. the production Of another
more brilliant "lady journalist,” who
had donned tights and spangles, and
entering the circus, ring. had done an
act in the lion‘s den.
man was paid $100 for her feet, while
I was paid only $75.
(lrimly determined to beat lion-tain-
iiiu‘. if I had it really in me to 'be a
journalist. I set forth to acquire the
r-xpcricncc of :L lobbyist in Congress.
l'osiiiu‘ as the representative Of a
wealthy business concern, I endeav-
ci'cd to “lobby” an amendment to the
tariff at the time the W'ilsou bill was
before the Senate. 3y spending some
money and promising a grant deal
more. I succeeded in so far influencing
legislation as to have an amendment
to the tariff involving the interests of
the Government to the extent of $10,-
000 :1 your introduced in the Senate,
and to receive the assurance of a dis‘
tiiiuiiislmrl f—‘cnntor that he would “see
it through" in committee, when in the
order of the procedure of the bill that
item of the tariff should be reached.
This ltccz,‘s.\‘;11‘il,\' would not be for two
months, So'l concluded my story with
a recital of these achievements, post-
ul it to New York, and waited for the
reward and applause I expected would
immediately follow. Instead my able
editor \vii'cd me: "I fail to see that you
have accomplished anything. Force
Senate to pass amendment at Once.”
Force the United States Senate—
well, I had never driven a fire engine,
"knocked out” a prize fighter, run
down a murder—indeed, I had never
done any truly successful newspaper
work, and right there I gave up try-
ing. I have since lived humbly by my
"pen, not striving longer to realize the
glorious possibilities of - a woman‘s
nerve or sex in journalism.

A disinterested ’
and clear-headed
' judge doesn’t al-
low himself 'to be
biased by preju-
dice. Superstition
doesn’t affect his
decisions. M c r e
tradition has no ,
place in his rea-
soning. Facts are
the’ only things
which he consid-
ers. If the intelli- -
gent men and 0-
men who make p
this great country
of ours will simply
bring their reason
and common-sense
to bear on the
, problem of curing
their sickness, we
will soon be a na-
tion most remarkable for health and longev-
ity. The plain, undecorated facts about Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery are al
that is necessary to convince fair-minde
people of its transcendent merit. They
are as follows:
All diseases come from germs. The germs
get into the blood, propagate and Increase
in the blood, which carries them all over the
body. When they find a weak spot, they
stick to the weak spot. It becomes a dis-
eased spot, and the disease is called by the
'iiame corresponding to its location In the
body. The cause is the same for nearly all
diseases. All impurities are germs, or breed
germs. Impure blood means‘germ filled
blood. Kill the genus, eliminate the 1m-
purities, enrich the blood, and it Will force
itself into the diseased spot and strengthen ..
it, and giVe it power to throw off the germs ‘
that exist there. . Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med-
ical Discovery is designed to do this—that
is the theory. The facts are these—tens of
thousands of people have used the “D15-
covery.” It used to be sold with the under-
standing that if it didn’t cure, it should be
returned, and the money refunded. No-
body ever asked for the money, and so that
. clause was dropped. Thousands of people
have written voluntary letters of thank: to
its discoverer. A few of these 16":ch have ‘
been included in Dr. Pierce’a great thou-
sand page book, Common 52:39. Medical.-
