Terrible Railway Collision Near Jackson, Mich, THE AIR BRAKES FAILED 10 WORK. First Section of a Train Run Down by the Second. LIST OF THE VICTIMS. | JACKSON, Mich., Oct. 13—A terrible wreck occurred this morning about 9 o'clock 100 yards east of the passenger depot in this city. Hacks and undertakers’ wagons are rapidly taking away the dead and wounded. An excursion train from the east was standing at the depot when another ex- cursion train pulled in. The engineer lost control of his air brake and could not stop his train and it rushed at the rate of 4 miles an hour into the train ahead, plowing under it and throwing the cars jin all directions. Nine cars join in the ruin and the engine is smashed. Later.—It ts now sald that six dead bod- fes have been recovered from the wreck. Many are injured. The cars are terribly smashed, two of them being thrown across the track. Ore car was driven completely through another and others were turned entirely over. Thousands of people were aboard the two trains and they were wedged in in all kinds of shapes. Some of the cars were badly enough wrecked to kill all the people on board them. Considering the shape the cars were in it is remarkable that any at all escaped without injury in some of the cars. a Dead and Injured. Following dead ana injured have been identified: Dead—Mrs. Lloyd Woodbury of Bath, N. » James Woodbury, Bath, N. ¥.; Mrs. Woodbury’s father-in-law; Mrs. Bardslee, Scranton, Pa; Maggie McWatson, aged twenty, Pennyran, N. Y.; Miss Harriet Breece, Pine City, N. Y.; Sisue Headley,"| Warrior Run, Luzerne county, Pa, near Scranton. Injured—Mrs. Susie Black, badly injured about head; Mrs. C. W. Fay, Miss Laura Fay, all of Elmira, N. ¥., all badly injured; Miss Blanche Burdslee, Scranton, Pa., is in a precarious condition; Mr. I. N. Burds- lee, Scranton, Pa.; Mrs. J. H. Gardner, Horseheads, N. Y.; not badly; Mrs. Allen Harris, Troy, Pa, two ribs broken and bruised; Frank Ferley, Columbia Cross- roads, Pa., slightly; Mrs. J. A. B. Ariing- ham, Springfield, N. ¥., arm and shoulder fractured. The dead and injured have been removed and are now lying at the hotels. So far it is known that thirty-four per- sons were injured, many of them, it is feared, fatally. The number of dead is now placed at nineteen. The first section of the excursion train was called the “Oswego” and the last sec- tion the “Webb” special. F. J. Reed, conductor of the Oswego spe- clal, has sent the following dispatch to the officers of the road tn Detrott: “I was stopping at Jackson for breakfast and had just started when the “Webb” special, going west, struck my train in the Tear part and broke three coaches. I cannot ascertain how many were injured. My train was protected in the Jackson yard by the semaghore.”” Engineer William Whalen, who lives at Jackson, was running the last section. He says: “I saw the signal in the yard to keep back, and had my engine in hand as I thought, but when I came down near the train, which was still, my air brake would |not work, and I ran into the coaches. ‘The failure of the air made it impossible to | stop. I never had such an experience be- fore.” Whalen fs badly burned. One of his legs is broken, but he will live. No less than nine specials had already Passed through Jackson going west this morning in addition to the regular trains. The Atr Brake Failed. DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 13—The superin- tendent of the Michigan Central here says that ten dead bodies have been recovered 80 far and the number of injured has not yet been reported. The trains were Delaware and Lackawanna day coach excursion specials. The first section had stopped to let the passengers take breakfast. It had been standing at the depot twenty-six min- utes when the second section came crash- ing into {t. The signal semaphore was up all right, but the engineer claims that his air brake would not work and he was pow- erless to avoid the accident. ———_—. End of the Argentine Revolt.

Accompaniment, followed’ by lar Sunday evening lecture, Church of Our Father, 13th and The Bule of the Minority Has Been Shown Again in the Senate, Talk of Future Actions—What Sort of Bill the President Wo Mr. Harris’ Amendme: Sign— ‘The adjournment of the Senate this morn- ing is held to mark the time when the per- sonal wishes of the President ceased to be the chief consideration in the treatment of the sitver question. There are, of course, & number of Senators who will continue to be the personal representatives of Mr. Cleveland in this fight, and who will not favor any course of which he does not ap- Prove. A very large proportion, however, of those Senators who have been support- ing the administration and have stood out against any deviation from the lines laid down by Mr. Cleveland feel that they are absolved from further obligation to follow this course, and they are now trying to settle the question in a manner different from that tried by Mr. Voorhees. The general wish, of course, is among democrats to adopt a compromise which ™ay receive the approval of Mr. Cleveland when sent to him, but he is not being con- sulted beforehand as to the character of such compromise. The repeal men are, of course, keeping up the show of continuing the fight, but, of course, there is nothing to that. “At the opening of the session at 11 o’eleck this morning proceedings were con- tinued just as they had been before the night session began, and Mr. Voorhees re- fuses to make any open confession that the fate of unconditional repeal is sealed, yet the fact that the bill is dead is aswell demon- strated as it would be if defeated by an ac- tual majority vote. The domination of the minority has once more been declared, and the Senate of today is the same old ‘help- less body it was to start with. Compromise Talk. Meanwhile the Senators who are working for a compromise feel that they are very near an agreement, in fact those Senators to whose charge the question of compromise has been referred by the several elements have agreed among themselves practically on the Harris proposition, and it remains for them to submit it to the other Senators of the several factions to determine whether they can get a majority report. There will be some change in the proposition from the form in which it appears as offered by Mr. Harris. It is uncertain whether there will be any reference to bonds in It, but it is almost certain not to carry any provision authorising a bond issue. It is the hope of those who are trying to accomplish the compromise that they may dispose of it this evening or tomorrow. Whether they can accomplish this remains to be seen, but the indications are that the debate wili run over to next week, if not longer. It is said that the silver republicans and populists will vote for the is proposition, but a new element of doubt is now thrown in to embarrass the situation. ‘The intimation is very broadly made that the republicans, having supported the ad- ministration th the attempt at uncondi- tional repeal, may take a hand in stopping things before the game has been brought to a finish. The intimation {s given that they will ‘make a very earnest and de- termined fight against any compromise that is pi . ‘This presents a possibility of more delay in disposing of the question than is generally expected, but since any compromise-.offered:.will, come in the form of amendments .{twould not be easy to filibuster to prevent a vote on it without involving @ filibuster against the whole subject of repeal. It is said that the com- promise which will be adopted will be in @ Une with any ordinary interpretation of Mr. Cleveland's message convening Con- green, though {t may not accord with his wishes, ‘Mr. Cleveland is quoted again this morn- ing by a prominent man as asserting that he will not sign any compromise which provides for the continued purchase of silver for a time extending beyond his Ene ‘Treasury Department ts running short of money, and it is extremely probable that a bond issue will finally have to be resorted to under the authority of existing law to keep up the reserve, re- gardless of what may be done by Congress. ‘The most probable outlook 18 a speedy compromise. ‘The House Attitude. Now that compromise on the silver ques- tion is talked of as a probable result of the deliberations of the Senate upon the subject interest has been renewed in the House as to the kind of a measure that will receive the sanction of that body. Mr. Raynor, one of the steering confmit- tee of the repealers in the recent contest over the Wilson bill, said: “No compromise that the Senate is likely to send to the House can be passed here, in my opinion.’ “The House will not consent to unlimited purchase of silver or the coinage thereof. If the Senate were satisfied with the coin- ‘age of the bullion now on hand and pur- chase up to a reasonable amount, that might be accepted, but the probabilities seem to be against such a moderate meas- Mr. Catchings of the committee on rules, also @ “repealer,”’ said that in his opinion the situation was plainly in the hands of the re- publicans. “If they vote solidly upon the subject they can determine it either way. It 1s not a@ political question, but politics will creep in, and that consideration may rule. If the republicans would stand firm for the repeal of the Sherman law I think they could bring the Senate to terms. It all depends on them.” ‘Mr. Burrows sald that the attitude of the republicans toward compromise would de- pend upon the nature of the measure. “If {t proposes an issue of bonds I do not be- Meve it will meet the approval of the House. ‘The idea of borrowing money in time of peace {s not a popular nor a proper one. It seems incredible that while the adminis- tration Is actively engaged in an effort to reduce the tariff they should expect Con- gress to borrow money to meet running ex- penses. ‘ ——__+ e -____— IMPROVED BANK RETURNS Clearly Shown by the Gi creased Reserve Funds.

RACE i WINDWARD AND BACK. Wind Blowing Hard From the East at the Start. ACCIDENT TO THE VALKYRIE. SANDY HOOK, N. J., Oct. 13—It was -quite foggy early this morning and a heavy mist was falling, which made men turn up their coat collars to protect their throats from the cold damp air. The fifteen mile to windward and return race between the American sloop Vigilant and the British cutter Valkyrie, which ended Wednesday in s fluke, after the boats had covered more than half the course, was to be resailed today. Super- stitious old shell backs along the beach pointed out this morning the ill omens of the day for a race or any other venture. It was not only a Friday, an unlucky day in their calendars, but the 13th of the month as well. This combination made the grizzled seadogs wag their heads in an exceedingly wise manner as they pre- dicted that something was bound to hap- pen before the day was done. Those per- sons who laugh at superstitious fancies and make the wish father to the thought were firm in their belief that the “some- thing” that was to happen in this par- ticular case was another defeat of the. Valkyrie, and the final victory of the saucy white sloop that, “blow high or blow low,” has fulfilled the hopes of every American in the land. Prepared for Anything. Mr. Herreshoff, designer of the Vigilant, when told last night that a hurricane was coming up from the south and was due here today, said: “We are prepared for any- thing. The Valkyrie people have been ask- ing for a stiff breeze and I hope they will be accommodated. We'll be there all right.” The Vigilant and her antagonist, Val- kyrie, lay off Bay Ridge yesterday getting into readiness for today’s race. Little was done on the white sloop beyond tight- ening shrouds and readjusting pulley blocks, but on the Valkyrie a change was made which Lord Dunraven thinks will make her a better foe for the Vigilant than she has been. An extra ton of lead ballast was placed in her hold amidships. This made her set lower in the water and increased her load water line. Her owner stated, in an interview, that her water line had been made nearly one foot shorter than when she raced in British waters, and made a phenomenal record among British boats. Lord Dunraven ar- rived at the conclusion that he had lighten- ed the boat too much, and he therefore de- cided to put in more ballast before another Face takes place. After the additional ballast had been put aboard and made fast, the Valkyrie was towed to Erie basin, where Official Measur- er Hyslop ran his steel tape over her and furnished the racing committee with the new measurement. The increased length of water line cuts down the time allowance which the boat received from the Vigilant from one minute forty-eight seconds to one Tan up her mainsail. Then she was towed down through the Swash channel. ‘When off Sandy Hook there were signs of trouble aloft. Capt. Cranfield and half a dozen men went up and pretty soon the tug was ordered to head up in the wind and the mainsail was lowered. The throat halyard block had split under the tremendous strain. It was taken down and the ship's carpenter bored several holes in it and’ put in screws to prevent it from giving way altogether. It was repaired at 10:45. While this was being done the jib, which had been broken out before the accident, was lowered and preparations to run up a smaller one was made. The skippers of the tug boats said that the barometer was fall- ing all the time, and the indications were that it would blow great guns before the race was finished. The Vigilant took a line from her tug a few miles inside of the lightship, and at 10:30 took a reef in her mainsail. She also took in her jib and got a smaller one ready. There was a good sea on, and the smaller excusion boats and steam yachts did not put in an appearance at the lightship. The wind held strong from the east. The wind was blowing with increasing strength all the morning from the east until it reached the very satisfactory rate of twenty-four miles, stirring up a choppy sea. The sailing vessels, with thelr can- vas all spread and filled, kept well in com- pany with their more favored coal burners. Too Breesy for Excarsio: ita. The St Johns, carrying the yacht club guests, was as usual early on the ground, but her decks did not ne arape throng, and many evidently sous! comfort that the cabin grants. The falling off in the number of excursionists was quite perceptible,yet there were still enough to make a big showing and to indicate the prevailing enthusiasm. Ever since the Vigilant cast off her tug inside the Horse- shoe she maneuvered about under mainsail and jib off the lightship. ‘The Valkyrie, after getting outside, drop- ped her sails and for some time had men aloft adjusting things preparatory to a start. The judges’ boat May, as she passed out, displayed the signal indicating the course to be fifteen miles to windward and return, At 11 o'clock the indications point- 4 to most favorable conditions for what would probably prove the last of a contest for supremacy that has excited the interest and admiration of the whole world. Lord Dunraven has what he prayed for and what may cause him to haul in his top- sails before the course is run. The Start. ‘There was considerable delay in starting the race. The excursion boats were blamed for the delay. The wind was east, twenty- eight miles an hour, and it was therefore known that the course would be east. The preliminary signal was fired at 11:15, but the boats did not start in ten minutes. After the blue Peter was set at 12:15 both yachts reached down by the May with the wind on thelr port sides until they ran one-fourth of @ mile south of the lightship. The prepar- atory gun was then fired and the yachts stood back for the line to begin the work of jockeying for windward position. Both yachts went over the line about 12:27 on the starboard tack, with the Valkyrie to windward. Both stood up well, considering She srons wind and choppy seas. ‘alkyrie appeared to be necrer to the wind than Vigiant. © At 12:50 both yachts were still on star- board tack. They were pe nearly out of sight time than Valkyrie, even though the Eng- Ush boat was outpointing her. The tide was on the flood, and therefore against the racers. Vigilant appeared to be gaining. minute thirty-three seconds. It is expected that the loss of fifteen seconds in time al- lewance will be more than compensated for by the improved sailing ability of the yacht. After being measured she was towed back to her anchorage ground at Bay Ridge. Quite a Sea. In the upper bay and on the rivers ad- jacent to New York city this morning quite @ sea was kicking up and a good breeze from the east was carrying the smoke and steam from the funnels of steam craft rap- idly to the westward. Skippers said the barometer was falling and that the storm which the weather sharps have sighted coming this way from the West Indies would reach here some time today. Ola barnacles shook their heads wisely, though somewhat fearfully, and said that the time not far off. They thought the storm would break before noon, and that {t would blow great guns. This was, how- ever, what everybody had been wishing for and yachtsmen were delighted with the Prospects. The Britisher’s scheme of putting a ton of lead in his bow was variously commented upon. Many persons were of the opinion that the boat would gain more in speed than she lost of her time allowance, while the sarcastic ones asked what difference it made to a boat that was beaten ten minutes to take fifteen seconds off of her allowance. At any rate the New York Yacht Club and especially the owners of the Vigilant show &@ commendable spirit of generosity in al- lowing the Englishman to make a change. It is a well-known rule in yachting circles that a yacht cannot make any changes in her rig during a club course or races. On Board the Racers. ‘When the United Press tugs had got well down the narrows this morning Valkyrie, in tow of the tug Pulver, was seen standing into Gravesend bay. Her crew were just hoisting her mainsail in their peculiar En- glish fashion. Far down the bay the Yan- kee cup defender could be seen, also in tow. As usual, she had been the first to leave the anchorage grounds off Bay Ridge. She already had up her mainsail, end at the time she was first sighted her crew were just putting up her working jib, prepara- tory, as it developed a little later, to sailing out to the Sandy Hook lightship. She stood well into the Horse Shoe for a few minutes longer and then threw off her towing line, sea. She stood up to the strong breeze in fine style and trotted along at a great rate. The Valkyrie as she passed Sandy Hook bound for the lightship was still in tow, set her working jib, and it looked as if she might cut loose from the tug at any mo- ment and stand out to sea under her own sail. The wind at this time was breezing up perceptibly. A large fleet of sailing craft was standing in and out of the har- bor. their sails bellied out like huge bal- loons and their pulls keeled over consider- ably from the strength of the wind and the rapidity with which they were being riven through the water. A pleasing incident happened just as Valkyrie was standing out at the Hook. Pilot boat No. 19, the Mary Williams, her sails drawing to their full power and sending her graceful hull swiftly through the water, passed Valkyrie here, bound in. As she did so she fired a salute from her cannon and dipped her colors, and the Englishman gracefully re- plied to the salute. Accident to the Valkyrie. ‘The wind was blowing fresh from the east when the Vigilant and Valkyrie left their anchorage off Bay Ridge and two of their tugs started down the bay.: The Vigilant ren up mainsail and jib and dropped her tug off Sandy Hook. She sailed on out to- ward the lightship. The Valkyrie had her lst. tug take her in Gravesend bay, where she | The course the boats were laying took them well in toward the Long Island shore. ‘The weather continued to thicken. Vigilant at 12:45 was apparently outpoint- ing Valkyrie, having been brought nearer into the wind. Vatkyrie was apparently getting frequent knock downs, and had to luff up to keep steady. Vigilant looked to be getting smaller here, and this was taken as an in- dication that she was well in the lead. Valkyrie still held the weather gauge. Vigilant about an eighth of a mile in lead was reported from Rockaway at 1 p- m. Both boats sailing with lee raits under water. Valkyrie seemed to be a bit stiffer. At 1:05 yachts were off Long Beach and sailing very rapidly, still on’ starboard tack. , Vigilant at 1:15 went about port tack. Valkyrie was still on starboard tack. Valkyrie in the Lend. At 1:30 the Valkyrie, which had been creeping up on the Vigilant, took the lead and in twenty minutes had made a gap of 200 yards. ‘The Valkyrie was, at 2:20, still leading the Vigilant by a good distance. They were then nearing the turn. Valkyrie Turns the Stake. 2:45 p. m.—Valkyrie turns stake boat three minutes twenty seconds ahead American boat; wind increasing, sea rough. THE BRAZILIAN REVOLT. It is Said That the Army is Favorable to the Rebels. ‘The New York World's special cable from Buenos Ayres says: Two battalions of the Brazilian National Guard have mutinied. Firing is brisk again, and business is para- lyzed once more. ‘The Herald's Montevideo, Uruguay, spe- cial says: The Brazilian army, which has hitherto been loyal to Peixoto’s govern- ment, 1s likely to join the naval insurgents. Two battalions of the National Guard have revolted and have declared for the rebels. It is believed that the disaffection will spread rapidly, and that more of Pelxoto’s troops will ‘soon declare their ad- herence to Admiral Mello's cause. —_———_ WOULD LOWER SILVER. Be the Result of India’s. Import Duty. Information has been received at the Treasury Department to the effect that it is probable that India will impose an import duty on silver. It comes from an agent of the Treasury Department in Eu- Tope whose identity is concealed. case India takes the action indicated it will have a most important bearing on the sil- ver situation in this country. According to @ prominent treasury official the imposi- tion of duty on. silver imported into India will advance the price of the silver now in that country and bring into circulation the gold hoardings. The effect of such ac- ton in this country, he said, would be to reduce still more the market value of American silver, as with India out of the market the United States would be prac- tically the only purchaser of silver among the nations of the world. No corroboration of the report has been received at the de- partmnt and it remains to be seen whether India will take the action indicated as a probability. ee SG ee jnval Movements, ‘The flagship Chicago and the Bennington arrived at Malaga yesterday. ‘The Boston has arrived at the Mare Island (Cal) navy yard, where she will be put out of commission for repairs. sities Postmasters Appointed.

The closing scenes of last night were al- most pathetic, although a vein of joculat- ity was infused into them by Mr. Hill and Mr. Stewart. When Mr. Voorhees, who had been sitting with his head resting on his hands for some time previously, plainly showing the effect of his %&-hours’ con- tinuous leadership of a forlorn hope, and his fifty-four hours of wakeful vigil, finally said that “without comment or criticism,” having endeavored to do his full duty, he than an hour previously that the break would come in one or two more roll calls.

Mr. Manderson know. ing this expressed a hope just before mid- night that he report “would not be much longer delayed.” The fight was kept up for an hour and forty-five minutes longer, and then unconditional repeal surrendered. ‘The strain not only upon Senators, but upon the officers of the Senate could not have been much longer kept up without risk of life. Vice President Stevenson shared with Mr. Faulkner in about equal proportions the isborious task of sitting in the chair of the presiding officer and main- taining order. There was, however, a con- siderable degree of decorum maintained throughout the whole trying scene and the threat to “clear the galleries” so often made and never enforced was very seldom heard, The thirty-eight hours’ continuous debate on the repeal bill, in the opinion of veteran observers, has ‘been one of the most memorable and at the same time most decorous trials of endurance ever wit- nessed in the Senate chamber.
