San Antonio, Tex., March 7,.—Fif- teen persons were instantly killed in the wreck on the Galveston, Harris burg & San Antonio line of thesouth- ern Pacilie, near Maxon to-day. This number is based upon the latest ae- counts received here. The exact numberof dead isnot known, * Twen ty-vight persous were wore or less in- jured. The wreck was caused by a broken rail. The road at the point where the wreck occurred is in a rough eountry, thecurves being sharp and the yrades heavy. [It was when rounding a curve that the train left the track ou account of a broken rail. The hour was 3 o’cloek a. ain., fil: teen lours “after the train had left San Antonio, showing that it was sbi bedi tite: at the-pirssetrers Were asleep and the shock that fel- lowed was the first’ intimation they f the danger. 1 train was speed that ided seven- gat such a rate « the tender ind engine | ty-five feet from where they left the rails, ‘The cars behind piled up ageinst the engine, cought fire and all were burned except the sleepers, A private car owned by Thomas Ryan, of New York, with his family aboard, was attached to the rear of the train, but it was pulled away be. fore the fire reached it and no one in| it was injured. | All the injured in the coachesjust behind the express and bagyage cars were cremated. The people in the sleepers were saved with the assist- ance of the uninjured passengers. The wrecked train consisted of an engine, mail car, baggage car, one coach, one chair car, three tourist sleepers, one Pullman sleeper and one private car. The mail car, the baggage car and coaches were piled together against the engine and were ablaze ina few seconds. It was im- possible to move any of the coaches or the tourist cars, as they were all off the rails and were soon consumed by the flames. The wreck occurred at a point where a grade two miles long endsat a reverse curve which skirts a deep ravine and runs beside a rocky bluff. The train struck the curve at—fall speed. Day had not broken and the passengers were still asleep. Those who were able to free themselves) from the wreck rushed to the assist- ance of the injured.

Was Struck Dumb in Court and Had to Talk by Signs Baltimore, Mareh 13.--John Kelly. 44 vears old, according to a state- meut made by his wife this morning and supple written on a sheet of paper by him- self and presented to Justice White, of the Northern district, was sudden- ly sticken dumb last night while cursing and blaspheming. Kelly was arrested last night in | front of his home, 2603 Bruce terrace, j}ou the complaint of his wife. Mrs, husband, who was intoxicated, had razor, shesaid, but the blow had been warded off by her eldest son, # crip- with his crutch. While Mra, Kelly told her story to the policeman the officer listened, expecting to hear some noise from Kelly, who was at that time inside the house, “Your husband appears to be very quiet,” said the patrolman, “He ig quiet just now, because he was struck dumb while he was com- mitting awful blasphemy,”’ said Mrs. Kelly. At this point of the conversation Kelly came from the house and was taken into custody by the officer. The prisoner actually appeared to be dumb, His throat and mouth twitched convulsively as he made an ineffectual effort to speak. When he found that he could not utter aword he became so frightened that the shock sobered him, aud when he reached the Northern: police station he appeared to be entirely sober. When taken before the desk, Kelly made signs that he could not speak, and was handed a piece of paper and a pencil name and age Ou the paper he wrote his This morning the brought before Justice White, he la boriously wade all his statements in writing, ed, but was fined €5 and costs and sentenced additionally to 30 days in jail, Mra.

He was there entertained in the marble recep- tion room, and met most ofthe dem- oeratic and many of the republican senators. His conferences with them were generally brief, and as a rule were devoted simply to an exchange oi social greetings. Mr. Bryan said his visit to the capitol was without political significance. Steel Saws Concealed in Pie. Memphis, Tenn., March 13.—Be cause two jail guards became inter- ested ina pie sent Will Lanier, sen- tenced to die March 19, at Aberdeen, Miss., his third escape was probably prevented. The men broke open the pastry, and found that it contained six fine steel saws. The pie was sent to the man by his mother by the hands of a 7-year old boy. Lanier has broken jail twice since his sentence of death for murder and extra watch is kept upon his person. His relatives have asserted that he will not die at the appointed time. The saws were baked in the pie and almost impossible to detect.

London, larch 13.— ‘he war secre- tary, Mr Brodrick, announced in the House of Commons to-day that he understood that Gen. Lord Meth- uen, who was captured, severely wounded, by Gen. Delarey, March 10, | had been released and was expected | to arrive at Klerksdorp, southwest- jern Transvaal, to-day. The gener- | al’s condition was favorable. Mr. Brodrick added that the ex- change of Gen. Methuen for Com- mandant: Kritzinger had not been contemplated. The trial of the com- mandant had been postpened be- cause consideration of the evidence to be presented had not been com- pleted. Why Delurey chose to release Methuen instead of keeping him as a hostaye for the fair treatment of Boers in British hands or for ex- change for Crenje énly can be guess- ed. The opinien is advanced that Methu-n was set free for human rea- sons solely. Delarey’s little army lives in the saddle. It has no camp, no base of operations-and probably no direct or certain communication with other Boer commanderies If Methuen were retained as a pri- soner, he would be kept constantly on the move, and would hay: to be transported in a Cape cart, which on acvount of his wound might soon cause his death as avery humane wan, ‘Then, too, it is reasoned that the freeing of Methuen will have a good effect in tending to increase the world’s ad- miration for the humanity as well as the courage of the men of the Trans- vaal, Aiter the announcement. in parlia- ment of Methuen’s release, Timothy M. Healy (Urish Natione list), amid Delarey is known ernment to show equalmagnanimity anid release Commandant Kritzir Mr. Brodrick said subsequently that the telegram received did not specifically say that Gen, Methuen had been released, ont from the faet that he was in the hands of a British medical officer, it was presumed that the general had been released.

Seattle, Wash., Mareh 13.—Captain FL HE Sinith, man, who arrived here yesterday on a well-known inglish- the Tosa Maru from Japan, declares that war between that country and Russia is soon to come “Trouble over the Russian oceupa- tion of Manchuria is the cause of the troubies said Capt.

In de- scribing Egypt he says: “Upon the map it looks quite large. In reality, however, when only the cultivable and inhabitable land is included, it is absurdly small. It contains but 11,000 square miles or searcely one- sixth the territory ot the state of Missouri. Stretched upon the map of Misseuri Egypt would include about the Missouri river bottom lauds, averaging ten miles wide from Kansas City to the Mississippi, and the shore of that river to St. Louis forthe Delta. It is more densely populated than any country iu Eu- rope. The same population to the square mile in Missouri would give that state 54 million: people and che same yield per acre exports more than sixty fold.” How Are Your Kidneys obama dares haces! ar er The election of city officers is of great importance to this town and porn me Carpet & Shater $ g Manufacturing Co. | We Pay Casn For } oultry..Eggs» Hides, Furs and ‘ool- Get our Prices.

Aagner, for thirty years a physi- cian in this city and a member of one of the oldest: families in this section, was to-day held for the action of the grand jury as the result ef aninquest over the body of a baby of Mrs. Peter Blair. It was found yesterday alive and doubled up in a shoe box, thrown into a garbage can in the rear of the Blair house. At the inquest to-day a negro woman pointed to Dr, Hag- neras the man whom she saw place the box in the can. The latter, ad- mitting he was the man, said he fully believed the child was dead at the time. The physician at the hospital where the child was carried after be- ing found testified that the baby was alive when received and the negro woman testified that the child was crying when she found it. The coroner's jury in its verdict held that the ‘child, which was born alive and lived several hours, died from hemorrhage of the brain and that Dr. Hagner, who attended at ” and allays Feverishness, and Flatulency., It assim Stomach and Bowels, givi THE CENTAUR COMPANY, TY The Best is the Cheapest. nationalist cheers, invited the wov-|- ‘Jon the grounds of infidelity to-day. ould increase its | ,, Vienna, March 18 —A dispatch to | the business men should not make a the Nene Freie Presse from Coustan-| mistake in not taking interest in the Every tablet of Cascarets Candy Cathartic bears the famous C.
