BROKEN RAIL CAUSE OF AflElDfHT LARGE NUMBER OF PERSONS IN- JURED, ONE FATALLY AND SIX SERIOUSLY. Johnstown, Pa., Aug. 4.—A train from Rockwood to Johnstown over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was wrecked eight miles from this city. One woman was fatally injured and probably half a dozen others so badly hurt that they had to be taken to the hospital, while a large number were scratched and bruised. That the forty passengers on the train escaped death is little short of miraculous. Owing to a broken rail the cars left the track, the engine and tender remaining on the rails. The baggage car rolled down the long and steep embankment, turning over and over and finally landed in the creek, standing on the wheels. The smoker went only part way down the bank, turning over but once, and the follow- ing coach did not go so far from the tracks, being held in place by a tele- graph pole. As soon as word of the wreck reached Johnstown a special train was made up and hurried to the scene, carrying physicians and nurses, and in two hours after the wreck occurred the injured were being cared for in the hospital.

Carnahan, major general of the uniform rank, Knights of Pythias, is dead at his home here after an illness of two weeks. James R. Carnahan was born at Day- ton, Ind., Nov. 18, 1841.

He later joined the Eighty-sixth Indiana regiment, to which he remained at, tached throughout the war, serving the last year as a staff officer. war he studied law and practiced & number of years at Lafayette. He joined the Knights of Pythias in 1874 at Lafayette, went through all the chairs and was elected grand chancel- lor of Indiana in 1880. He was re- garded as the founder of the uniform rank and was elected its first major general in 1884, which position he held at the time of his.-death. He was past department commander of the G. A. R. and a-prominent candidate for nation- al commander at one time.

Asks More Specific Information Re- garding Revenue Cutter. ‘Washington, Aug. 4. — Secretary Shaw has received the telegram from Governor Blanchard of Louisiana pub- lished in the newspapers complaining of the action of the revenue cutter Winona in connection with the quar- antine establishéd by the state of Mis- sissippi and has sent the following reply: “As authorized by law revenue cut- ter Winona has been detailed to assist public health and Marine hospital service in maintenance of quarantine established by state of Mississippi. The state of Mississippi having estab- lished quarantine please advise if in your opinion the act of congress ap- / proved Feb. 15, 1893, has been violated and if so wherein. CITY, WITHOUT A HEAD. Mayor Belcher of Paterson, N. J., Still Missing. Paterson, N. J.,, Aug. 4—This city is without a head and its city officials cannot collect their salaries owing to the continued mysterious absence of Mayor William H. Belcher, who disap- peared on Monday last. This chaotic state of affairs must continue for at least ten days from the time of Mr. Belcher’s disappearance before an act- ing mayor can assume the city goyern- ment reins, according to Paterson’s city charter. All salaries to city em- ployes and officials for July are now due and ready to be paid, lacking only the mayor’s signature to the pay war- rants. FOIIYSHOREYM!‘I‘AR the coudh and healslungs After the|. i \ GERMANY DID NOT OBJECT. - Welcomes' Visit of British Fleet to Baltic Sea.. London, Aug. t—The forthcoming Visit of a British. fleet to the Baltic sea appears more than likely to mark the beginning of more cordial relations be- tween Germany and Great Britain in- stead of, as has been suggested in some quarters, adding to the friction now existing. The proposed visit was known to the German foreign office months ago and suggestions that ob- jections to it were raised by Germany are unfounded. Ernest George Prettyman, secretary to the admiralty, in reply to questions, said definitely that no protests regard- fng the visit of the fleet had been re- ceived. Friendly comment on the pending cruise from German Baltic ports cre- ates the belief that it will help along King Edward’s desire for good rela- tions between Germany and Great Britain and the announcement of Em- peror William’s suvnort of the candi- dacy of Prince C% of Denmark for the Norwegian tu: .ue is accepted as an indication that the German ruler proposes to work in the same direc- tion, The report is revived that Emperor William will meet King Edward during the latter’s forthcoming trip to Marion- bad. RUSSIAN VESSELS ON RAID ATTACK A JAPANESE MERCHANT STEAMER OFF NORTHERN COAST OF KOREA. Tokio, Aug. 4—It is officially re- ported that two Russian torpedo boat destroyers appeared off Chungching, on the northern coast of Korea, at 4:40 a. m. and attacked the Keisho, a small merchant steamer. The de- stroyers fired sixty shots, seven ‘of which hit the port side of the engine- room and bridge, killing the captain and one boy and wounding two of the crew. The destroyers then ceased to fire and steamed toward Vladivostok at 5 o’clock. The Keisho was able to continue on her voyage and ‘escaped. HOPEI‘=UL OF PACIFIC RESULTS.

He. said: “Both commissions having come here animated with peaceful impulses 1 think peace wiil result, as it may be expected both parties will be reason- able in order to secure the blessing of lasting peace in the Orient.” Herbert Peirce, third assistant sec- retary of state, who represents the president in directing arrangements for the Portsmouth conference, has ar- rived in New York amd left his card “with the Russian and Japanese pleni- potentiaries. Mr. Peirce will later in the day confer with Commander Wins- low of the Mayflower regarding the arrangements for conveying the pleni- potentiaries to Oyster Bay on Satur- day, when they will be formally pre- sented to the president by Mr. Peirce and will in turn be presented by the president to each other.

I COAST LINE WILL BE PATROLLED MEN LEAVE FULLY ARMED AND PREPARED FOR A STAY OF SOME LENGTH. i New Orleans, Aug. 4—To prevent possible interference by Mississippi quarantine guards with Louisiana citi- zens Governor Blanchard has tele- graphed Commander Bostick to take his naval brigade to the state border. Immediatély on receipt Wt the order Commander’ Bostick dispatehed two squads of med on the oyster commis- sion schooner Majestic, 1ying in Bayou St. John and which had already been placed in commission, and prepared for the josrney. Fifty men were sent out. The Majestic is only one of five ves- sels which will be used by the naval prigade. Two other schooners and two launches will also be used. The men are going fully armed and accou- tered and prepared for a stay of some length, Captain Bostick said he could net tell how many men would be sent out in all, nor when he himself would go to the front, but he would remain in the city until all the vessels had been equipped and manned and had left. The first destination of the naval brigade is the Rigolets, from which place they will disembark to cover all points in the Louisiana coast. No physical clash has been reported between the armed forces of Louisiana and Mississippi and there is an in- creasing likelihood that good judg- ment will prevail and that hereafter there will be no trespassing by the people. of either state on the pre- serves of the other. There is no sign of approaching amelioration in the quarantine conditions, though the Ma- rine hospital service is gradually bringing about a better understanding with the authorities in other states to the end of enabling travelers to pro- ceed to their destinations after due detention. Aside from prosecuting ergy of the commercial public here is being devoted to the effort to educate the panic stricken people of the South that they run absoiutely no risk of in- fection through commercial inter- course with New Orleans. Reoiling and screening of cisterns went for- ward with great vigor and enthusiasm during the day. FEVER CASES CONCEALED. Reason for Heavy Mortality Among New Orleans Italians. New Orleans, Aug. 4—Concealment until the cases are almost hopeless and utterly inadequate treatment until they fall into the hands of a doctor are con- sldered as partly responsible for the heavy mortality among the unfortu- nate Italians who have fallen victims to yellow fever. It is said investiga- tions have shown that heavy food like macaroni and bananas has been taken by members of the race after the fever has fastened its clutches on them. That means almost certain death, for in the treatment mow pre- scribed by the doctors no solid food of any kind is given during several ‘days of a patient’s illness. Milk is the principal diet, with alkalin waters and the juice of watermelon to work on e kidneys. To allay nausea the doc- tors prescribe small pieces of ice to be dissolved in the mouth. Many of e Italians die because they do not get this treatment until too late. Com- been attacked and some of these ex- ceptions are already on the streets little worse for their illness. The situation continues to be viewed with something like optimism by those immediately, in charge of the fight. The public is warned not to be alarmed because the number of cases and deaths are more numerous than they were a week 8g0 and the doctors are saying that fer some time probably, even with the most favorable prog- ress, there will be new cases and fa- talities. But so long as there is. no infection in the modern section of New ‘Orleans—that is, the large district which lies above Canal street—the doctors refuse to: believe that there is any chance of the,disease assuming a general epidemic form, Scarcity of Skilled Mill Hands.

BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT OF VICTORY STRIKERS AND RAILROAD OFFIs CIALS REITERATE CLAIMS TO ASSURED SUCCESS. 8t. Paul, Aug. 4—The talegraphers’ strike sit#ition on the Northern Pa~ cific and Great Northern roads is prace tically unchanged. While the passens ger trains on both roads are kept movs ing very little freight is being handled! and only between important points, Large quantitiés of freight in the age gregate are being refused, particularly perishable goods. Carload lots ayé given the preference and handled wherever possible. President Perham of the Order of Railway Telegraphers and the generall managers of both roads reiterate theif claims to assured success. Advices from the Willmar and Sioug Falls divisions of the Great Northem are that trains are being operated either by telephone or are running without orders. A special from Grand Forks say# passenger trains are running as usual, conductors taking the fares. The freight and express business is, howe ever, described as badly crippled Advices from Minot, N. D., aré to the effect that 48 per cent of the stas tlons between Williston and Grand Forks are in working order. Fifty men are idle at Minot. . From Helena, Mont., advices indfs cate that both the Great Northern and Northern Pacific are moving trains by means of a flagging system worked by hand cars. From different points in Montand comes the news that passenger traing on both roads are from thirty minutés to nine hours behind schedule time, Executive officials of both the Grea¢ Northern and Northern Pacific admit that the strike is the most complete that organized effort has ever brought about on their systems. In spite of this, however, they claim they are net seriously crippled. Nonunion Men Employed. Pittsburg, Aug. 4.—Fifteen teloge raphers were sent from Pittsburg dum ing the day te.St. Paul to take the places of the striking telegraphers o the Northern Pacific. i LABORERS NEEDED AT HOME/( s 4 Austria-Hungary Not Encouraging Em« igration to America. New York, Aug. 4—Baron von Hegns' gelmuller, the Austro-Hungarian ame, bassador, who has just arrived from Europe, denies that Austria-Hungary is encouraging emigration to the Units ed States. “There is a scarcity instead of & surplus of unskilled labor in Austrias Hungary,” said he, “and farmers are having great diificulty in- getting enough help to harvest their crops, There was an abundance of such labor, but emigration has changed the situas tion entirely. Wages for unskilled labor have advanced so that they are now as high, practically, ag in Amegs ica and there is no object for laborers to leave their native land.” TRACKMEN QUIT WORK.
