Two freight trains collided Wednesday night at Philson, on the Baltimore Ohio railroad, 124 miles east of Pittsburgh, making one of the worst wrecks in the history of the road. Up to one o'clock yesterday 12 tramps had been taken from the wreck, six of whom were dead. The remaining number were brought to this city and placed in the hospital, and are in a serious condition. One of the tramps said that in last night show the almost total destruction of the town and the loss of 39 lives. This is believed to include the complete roll of the dead.

At Shell Mound, a great pleasure resort i near the place, a party of five men, three women and three children were camping out Some surveyors, making their way home after the storm, found the 11 dead bodies strewn along the shore, under logs and brush. They were close together, which would indicate that they were simultaneously coast about Cedar Keys, which is said to be most completely wrecked.

The latter came home in a beastly state of intoxication, and was reprimanded bv damage at the towns of Gainesville, High Springs, Newberry, Lake City, Bronsford, Callahan and many others. Brick and frame buildings were blown down and near Callahan several children were killed in a schoolhouse killed by the tidal wave. Eight other bodies have been found on the beach.

Burlington, Oct. 2. Fifty years ago Iowa became a state and previously it occupied aprominent position among the western territories. In honor of this semi-centennial anniversary 20,000 people gathered in this city yesterday to inaugurate an eight-days' celebration. Burlington was selected as the place of holding the celebration on account of its prominence in territorial affairs, being for a number of years the seat of government.

This, the opening day, was Governor's day, and was honored by the presence of Oov. Drake and his staff, several ex-governors. Vies President Stevenson and a large number of other prominent citizens of the state and nation. At 10:30 a grand parade, consisting of the governor and staff, and prominent guests, escorted by four companies of the state militia, citizens in carriages, and numerous handsome floats passed through the principal streets, crowded with masses of people and profusely decorated. During a parade the reviewing stand, containing Vice President Stevenson, Gov.

Drake and many other prominent people, collapsed, throwing all to the ground and injuring some 30 people. Vice President Stevenson and Gov. Drake escaped with slight bruises. None are fatally injured except two men- named Burris and Wicken, the extent of whose injuries cannot be ascertained yet. The accident had a frightful appearance to the spectators.

Vice President Stevenson and Gov. Drake went down clasped in each other's arms, and it was several minutes before they could be extricated from the struggling mass of people. The greatest excitement prevailed for a time and it was a wonder no one was trampled to death. Ex-Go v. Sherman was found lying under the debris with a large plank across his neck, but was rescued without serious injury.

Miss Drake, the governor's daughter, was not injured, as at first reported. A number of ladies were slightly injured. WAR ON EXPRESS ORDERS. Airs. Ricker.

This attempt being a failure, he resorted to a method more successful. Lying on his back across a bed. his head so to almost touch the floor, he drew a razor across his throat, severing the jugular vein.

The coronerof Wayne county yesterday rendered his verdict on the tragedy at Doyton last Sunday, holding that Thomas Kldd, aioi 14 years, was deliberately murdered by Carl AlcElhinney, aged seven years. The verdict states that yonnjf AlcElhintiev hunted a gun and deliberately loaded it and toolc aim at his victim. McElliinny's age, however, will exempt iiliri from the charge of murder in the first dejrree, and there is a quandary as to what is to be done with the toy, who is still held under arrest.

Advices receiver, nom Havana state that Antonio Afaceo, in a recent attack on the trocha, inflicted terrible losses on the Spaniards, more than 1,000 being killed and wounded. The attack was made at night and was carefully planned.

The fighting was general all along the line, but was fiercer near Artemisa, where Antonio Alaceo led a picked force of insurgents against the Spanish column, commanded by Gen. Aralas. The Spaniards were taken completely by surprise. They were aroused from sleep to find a hail of insurgent bullets falling upon them. Gen.

Arelas and his staff, half clad, rushed from their headquarters and tried to rally the Spanish troops, who were panic-stricken by the attack. It was half an hour before even a semblance of order could be restored to the Spanish column, and during that time the troops remained huddled together, an easy mark for the Cubans' bullets. It was during this period of the panic that so many of the Spanish troops were killed. The insurgents had several dynamite guns, and they were used with terrible effect, the shells burstiug. among the Spaniards and striking them down by the scores.

After Gen. Arelas succeeded in rallying his men he made a retreat and the Spaniards fell back four miles or more, leaviug the trocha in the hands of the insurgents. The insurgents demolished the section of the trocha near Artemisa, blowing up the fortifications with dynamite. A DEMAND FROM INDIA FOB WHEAT. San 3.

What has lately given the strongest kind of support to the local wheat market and has become a startling and sensational feature of the situation is a demand from India for California wheat The rice crop has been a failure this year, to Albcq.uero.tte, N. Oct 3. The eastbound passenger train, due here at from the west, was held up at Rio Puerco bridge, about 20 miles from this city. As soon as the train pulled out of the station it was halted by several masked men and the express messenger commanded to open the door of his car. A general fusillade of shots kept the passengers terrorized.

When the robbers jumped on the engine and compelled Engineer Ross and his fireman to uncouple the engine and express car from the train, Deputy United States Marshal Loomis, who was returning from the west, took in the situation and fired at the first man, killing him. The robbers then commenced shooting, and shot a lantern from the hand of a brakeman. Rumors here are that several others are shot, but this is not yet confirmed. The hold-up was a failure financially, the robbers securing no money. THE LEADVILLK MINING STRIKE.

Leadvili.e, Oct. 3. Preparations are being made for the resumption of work in the Bison, the Little Johnny, the Mahala and the Resurrection mines. At least 500 men are expected to be at work on these properties within two weeks. If full forces cannot be obtained in camp, men will be brought from Missouri.

She reports that at dark Alonday night nearly 100 vessels were anchored on the sponge bar below Cedar Keys and that all of them but 20 were lost As these boats carried from four to ten men each, the loss of life was great Eight corpses have already been washed ashore. The schooner Rosalie was sunk and eiyht of her crew drowned. Beyond the bar there are a score of masts visible just above the water, and each top indicates the burial place of a sponging schooner and its crew. Communication with the interior is restored and the news of the destruction of life and property by Tuesday's hurricane beeoines appalling.

Hundreds of persons are homeless and must suffer from unger unless relief shall be quickly furnished. Reports from 76 different towns show that 67 persons were killed and 62 injured. These are the known casualties. To this total probably a considerable number must be added to cover those not yet heard from.

Trainmen say that a number of men who bad been attending the Bryan speaking Wednesday and who were on their way" to their homes in Afyersdale, were riding on the bumpers, so it is thought that there are many still under the wreck. It is thought by officials here that some of the men riding the bumpers cut off the air, thus causing the wreck. The engineer of one train was perhaps fatally injured. Many others were seriously injured. FIREMEN RESCUED JUST IN TIME.

Milwaukee, Oct. 2. A stubborn fire, which had its oriyin in the World clothing house on Chestnut street, kept the firemen fighting for three hours yesterday morning. Three stores were burned out and the loss will probably exceed 8100,000.

The wind is reported to have reached a velocity of 100 miles an hour, and there was witie-pread destruction in the path of the storm. It is impossible yet to letrn how many persons were killed, but it is believed the dead will be fully 100 and that many others were injured. Aluch damage is reported at Jacksonville, but no loss of life, as the center of the storm seems to have passed to he north of that city. The storm was not felt here, but after it left the gulf a high bank of air rushed in from the north, blowing almost a gale, and lowering the temperature about 25 degrees. Reports received last nijht show the storm was a twisting tornado, that moved with great rapidity from the gulf to the Atlantic coast, In many places buildings were wrecked in less than a minute, and soon afterward the sun was shiniug.

The loss of property cannot be estimated, but it is very heavy, not only in the towns, but on the farms, where the crops were destroyed. in the bhesa.vdoah vallet. Washin-gtox, Oct. 2. Passengers and trainmen on the Shenandoah valley train on the Baltimore Ohio railroad, which arrived here at our o'clock yesterday, bring confirmation of the report of disaster at Staunton caused by Tuesday night's storm in that part of Virginia.

They say the damage was done by flood rather than by wind, and that the flood was caused largely by the bursting of the dam of a lake in the public grounds at Staunton, causing the loss of several lives at that place, -variously stated at from five to eitrht. 'i'hc dam broke about ten o'clock at night, and the un-f rtuust people drowned were caug-ht by the water in intense darkness. A cattle dealer named B. N.

Four more persons are missing. It is expected that great loss of life and destruction of property will be reported from all along the San Pedro river. The precipitation must have occurred along the whole length of the Whetstone mountains, as the flood from the western end of the same range tore out three miles of the Southern Pacific track 12 miles west of Benson. A wall of water at least 12 miles long was poured into the San Pedro river, hence there is apprehension felt for the safety of persons in the valley. AN AWFUL CRIME.

The first stop was at Wnshington Junction and a few people shook the hand of the randldat!

The town made historic by John Brown was gaudily decorated with flags and bunting, A great banner bearin? the pictures of the demo-, cratic nominees was suspended over a platform built from the Mde of a hill, and from which Mr. Bryan spoke to the people fathered in the natural amphitheater below. Fatalities followed Mr. Bryan yesterday.

At Harper's Ferry an old man pushed into the thick of the crowd, declaring that he wanted to hear "the boy orator." Several brawny fellows lifted him to their shoulders that he might sea as well as hear. He suddenly collapsed und an examination showed that he was dead. Heart disease superinduced by the excitement was the cause. The second case was murder und it occurred just before the party left Keysir. Two democrats, one of West Virginia and one from Maryland, while drunk, became involved iu a qunrrel and one stabbed the other, inflicting, it is said, a fatal wound.

Oct. 2. The greatest demonstration given William J. Bryan in the state of West Virginia was last night paid him in this city. At the fair grounds he spoke to a crowd the size of which was limited only by the space in front of the speakers stand and the distance the nominee's voice could be heard.

Neatly uniformed marching clubs, bands of music and citizens in carriages and mounted on horses made up a procession, the equal of which the nominee has not encountered in many a long day. During- the day Air. Bryan spoke also at Clarksburg, Parkersburg and other points. SITUATION IN DENVER. Be Lynched if Caugrht-ST.

JosEPn, Oct 3. News reached this city of an awful tragedy near Arkoe, yesterday afternoon. Some unknown man, presumably a tramp, entered the house of John Bom- ley while he was away and murdered his wife, who was alone at home. After a hard fight, and the breaking of considerable furniture, the mau finally overpowered Airs. Bornley, who was a powerful woman, and beat her Drains out.

All the rooms in which the fight took place are covered with blood. No cause can be assigned for the terri- ble crime other than the tramp found Mrs. Bomley alone and attempted to assault her. Posses are scouring Nodaway county, and if the man is caught he will be lynched. Bloodhounds have been ordered from Clinton county, and the police of this city are watching closely for the murderer.

Atlanta, Oct 2. Tom Watson's reticence is, in a measure, responsible for the many rumors that are afloat. These have taken definite shape in the statement that he is certainly going to withdraw from the populist ticket in disgust Watson will neither affirm nor deny this rumor. He is as dumb as the proverbial oyster. The story goes that in the people's party paper to-day he will explain his position fully and that the effect of it will be his withdrawal.

Yesterday Watson spoke at Stone Mountain. He made no direct allusion to any idea of withdrawing and indeed left his hearers impressed strongly with the belief that he proposed to stick, come what may. M'KINLEY'S VISITOPS.

Leadttlle, CoL, Oct. 2. As a result from the miners' meeting last night the majority have decided to remain quiescent until after election. If Alc-Kinley is elected the present intention is to abandon the strike. If Bryan is elected the hope is that the price of silver will advance and the managers will at once concede all demands of the union.

Notwithstanding this decision, there are many of the conservative miners who feel sore over the delay of five weeks, while the unruly element are more aggrieved over the decision and eag-er to adopt radical measures at once. stopping and speaking in almost every town of consequence and then along the Kentucky banks to this city.

The state supreme court has issued an order refusing to allow the suit of Greer, Mills live stock commission agents, against the Kansas City Live Stock exchange, to be certified on from the court of appeals for review. The plaintiff sought to enjoin the exchange from expelling it from that body for Its refusal to pay a fine imposed upon it. In the appellate court it claimed that that section of the rules of the exchange giving it authority to assess a fine was unconstitutional It was also charged that the exchange was an illegal body. The court, in deciding the case, said that if the exchange was an illegal organization, as charged, then a member of it had no right to come into court and ask for relief. The court is satisfied with tue decision of the appellate court and has refused to hear the case, and, so far as the courts of Kansas are concerned, the exchange can expel the plaintiffs at once.
