Cincinnati, O., Sept. 3 —What will perhaps prove the most disastrous | street car accident that ever happen ed'took place in this city this even- ing An electric car dashed down ahill at frightful speed, left the track, broke a telegraph pole and | shot intoa saloov, wrecking both itself and the structure it struck. As aresult of the collision two peo- ple are dead, six are injured beyond recovery and nearly forty more are hurt, many of them dangerously. Suddenly the brake became un- manageable aud the heavy car began | to descend with speed. Conductor | Smith ran to his comrade’s assis- tance, but the brake was obstinate and the two men turned their atten | tion to the frightened passengers. | By persuasion aud force the inmates | were kept in their seats. while the | ear, how swaying to and fro, shot | down the bill with awful velocity | until reaching the intersection of | Hunt and Broadw ay, it left the track | and. smashing atelegraph pole which | stood in its psth into two pieces, | plunged into the saloon of George | Schmidt at 351 Broadway.

The party remained on | the train until 7 o'clock, when they were met by private Secretary Thur- | ber with carriages and driven to the | White House in a drenching vain. Mr. Thurber was afterward asked | as to the general heaith of the party and he replied that everybody was | feeling first rate and the sojourn at | Gray Gables had been beveficial to lall. Mr. Cleveland in particular was in excellent spirits; his was bright and complexion clear, and he eye | looked vigorous and strong. Secretary Carlisle, asked yesterday as to the facts concerning President Cleveland's | ported serious illness, | answered: “The President as well as any man in America, and he has no chronic ailment whatever. | He returns rested and invigorated | by his much-needed vacation.

A moment later the colored porter stepped from the | train to assist a lady in getting on. ja Winchester was thrust into his }face and he was tald to up his kunds. Instead of complying he ~_eennceeeees | rushed the woman into the car aud locked the door. Conductor Mills, knowing nothing of the porters ex perience, cam forward from a rear car and met with the same reception. He, too, refused to comply with the request to throw up his hands and ran back to the sleeper. Meanwhile Messenger Chapman had left bis car, whether to escape or to notify the passengers will ney er be known, for he had gone but a few yards when he was discovered by the outlaws upon the engine who opened fire upon him Only two shots were fired, but one ball from a Winchester crashed iuto brain and he staggered and fell beside the track, dead Then the outlaws commanded the engineer to pull out and run until he was told to stop. One mile and a half down the road he was told to check up and dismounting, the men proceeded to rob the train. In killing Chapman they had shut themselves out of the Wells. Fargo safe,however for it was locked and _ successfully resisted their efforts with a coal pick, Foiled in their attempt to lout the safe the bandits turned their atten- tion tothe passengers. With exception of those in the sleeper, every man aud woman was_ robbed.

Then, leaving the train, the jmen disappeared in the darkness. It is probable that they had horses in waiting and rode for the Terri- | tory. The train was run back to | Mound City, where Chapman’s dead i body was recovered, and then con- tinued its journey. The unfortunate messengerlived at Joplin.

A. R. opened most auspiciously today. So far as the number of | Visitors from outside points is con- cerned, the snecess of the encamp- ment is already assured.

The encampment is withiu easy distance, and to keep jaway from it would be worse than treason. Aud so they are bere in tens of thousands. As the veterans arrive, outside of the State posts are not by any meaus up to expectatious. A good many States send less than half the total that had been scheduled a month ago as certain to be here, while a few are likely to make eyen a poorer showing. Hard times aud the con- tinued stringency of the money market, especially in the far Western States, is the ascribable cause. Almost on the very spot in Mili- tary park where, thirty-one years ago,the citizens presented to Colonel Harrison and his newly organized Seventieth regiment of volunteers the staudards of Indiana and the United States to carry before them tothe war, the ex President this afternoon dedicated Camp Wilder, the name bestowed upon some 300 tents in which reunionsof re giments and old soldiers’ societies will be in full blast for the remainder of the week. About 3,000 people partici- pated in the exercises, which includ- ed address by W. A. Ketcham, Gen- son; patriotic music by the jand the raising of the stars stripes to the of pole.
