NINE BODIES ARE RECOVERED. A Passenger Traln Fall of Excur- sionists Crashes Into a Freight Train—Another Sertous Acci- dent Near Linciln, An Excursion's Frightful End. ST. TrosmAs, Out., July 15.—A terrible ac- cident occurred at the crossing of the Grand Trunk and Michigan Central railways in thig city about 7 o’clock this evening. An excursion train on the Grand Trunk, from Port Stanley, ran into a passing freight train on the Michigan Central made up of a num- ber of cars laden with oil. The engine crashed into one of these cars, when the oil instantly took fire and burned with great fierceness, communicating to the cars on both trams snd extending to Griffitn’s warehouse, coal and lime sheds adjoining the track on the west, and John Campbell’s dwelling on the east, all of which were burned to the ground with their contents, Engineer Donnelly of the excursion train was buried in the wreck. His fireman jumped and escaped with slight njuries. The forward car of the excursion train was filled with passengers who made frantic efforts to escape but notwithstanding hundreds of brave and willing hands were immediately at work to assist in their rescue, a number of lives were lost. AtS8 o’clock when thousands of people were crowding around the burning pile one of the oil tanks suddenly exploded, throwing hundreds to the ground with great force and scattering fire in all directions, and severely, perhaps fatally, injuring many. At 8:30 o’clock nine bodies were taken out. They were burned to & erisp. THE DEATII LIST NOT KNOWN. It 1s almost impossible to ascertain with any certainty the names of those lost in the wreck until the arrival of the late train from Port Stanley. There are many conflicting rumors, but it seems almost certain that En gineer H, Donnelly, Mr. Zealand, clerk in J. W. Nickleborough’s dry goods store, and child, and the wife and child of Jame Smithers, dry goods merchant, were burned to death. Mrs, Zealand was got out badly burned. THE 1NJURED. Among those badly injured by the explos- fon are the following: UenMAN Possrorp, bricklayer, it Is feared fatally. NELSON Gopssy, blacksmith, burned on the head. W. I Jovcr, engineer on Grand Trunk railway, badly burned on arms, W. H. WALBOURN chiet of fire depart- ment, burned on n CHARLES DA¥ on hands and back. RiciArD WOODRUFF, burned. Ouiver NorswortHy, back and neck burned. ArcHIE NorsworTuy, neck and arms burned. A son of Mr. Potts, master mechanic of the Michigan Central rallway, was burned on the neck, and scoves of others who were taken to their homes before their names could be learned. Gangs of mon under the direction of Su- perintendent Morehead, of the Michigan Central railway, and J. Stewart, agent for the Grand Truuk railway, are hard ar work removing the debris, and it is expected that the track will be cleared by daylicht. All the telegraph wires were destroyed and severul poles were burned, thus interrupting communicati on. of the Dake house, burned back and neck BE WAS ASLEEP. Engineer Bowser Succumbs to Over- work and Fails to See a Signal. LincoLN, Neb,, July 15.—[Special to the —The most territic wreck kuown in the history of the K. & M. railroad occurred four miles east of Lincoln early this morning between the regular Omaha freight coming west and a special fast stock express eastward bound. ‘The regular train coming west was drawn by the Chicago, Bur- Jington & Quincy mogul engine 420 and was traln No. 28 on the company’s time card. Engineer Bowser was at the throttle and Norton was conductor, The special east bound from Lincoln was drawn by engine 115, Connelly engineer, and they had an order of thirty miles an hour with orders to meet the regular No. 23 at Havelock. From Lincoln east tor sixteen miles the track is an alr line, straight as an arrow, and on the open prairie the wreck occurred. So clear was the night and so plainly was every- thing visible that the night watch wan on the towsr in the B. & M. yards saw the glimmer of the headlights as the trains came togetherand the conflagration tuat im- mediately followed, ‘When the trains crashed togzether the stock traln going east had nearly stopved, but the regular bore down uvon them without even shutting off steam, and the men had barely time on both trains to jump for their lives, The crash eame on the edge of a small bridge and the mogul engine was hurled backward, the first two cars behind it being thrown di- rectly over tke tank and upon the boiler of the engine. Fifteen cars were crashed and smashed together upon the engimes and upon each other, and in a second’s time were in a blaze. An eye witness says the scene was beyond description. The head brakeman on the regular, who was riding in the engine, was caught in jumping and was re- leasea terribly —crush and man- gled, Three or tour cars of stock were crashed to chaos in the wreck and the din was terrible. But almost on top of the enzine was a car containing several horses and emigrant goods and in the car was the owner of the goods, Dr. Reynolds and his 80 who were enroute from their home in Roseville, Olio, to ylaine county. In two minutes after the crash thls car with the others was in flames and the two roasted in the tlames until a hole was burned in the end of the car through which they crawled out more dead than alive. The two were brought to the city as speedily as possible and taken to the Tremont house where they attenaed to by two hysicians, lay in a precarious condition, Reynolds hiwself was burned terribly, on one side the flesn beiug fairly roasted and he was badly burned internally from breathing the flames, ‘The bo; was burned on both arms and on his breast and face, and his recovery Is doubtful. At p. w. to day the physicians reported the two as resting quistly, ~In the midst of the ure at the wreck two cars of the tank line that were in the wreck ex- loded and filled the air with burning oil hat wade of the wreck all efforts at work to stop the flames utterly powerles 3, and of the tifteen cars that left the irack thirteen burned, toether with the woodwork on the mogul engine and the bridge where the wreck oc curred. 1o addition to this 205 hogs were cremated. ‘Twenty-two head of cattle were either killed, burned, or had broken limbs, and tour horses perished. This stock was thie property of Eilis & Garton, of De Witt, Mr. Garton being on the train at the time of the wreck. Of the thirteen cars of goods burned, one load of. wall 1s, and six others machiuery, besides the two oil ears that exploded and burned. ‘I'hie question of blame for the accident is undoubtedly upon Engineer Bowser, ot t west-bound traim, and it was an oft repeated issertion that be. toyether with the fiteinan nd the forward brakeman, were all asleep in the encine, ing the train running at a high rate of speed, and on a straight line of track not seeing the special until they ctashed intolt. ‘The condnetor ot this train, Wwho was in the way car as the train swung by Havelock, saw the signals displayed that the engineer should have seen and heeded, ié saw that thoy were not heeded on his to the front of the train to find out the trouble when they crushed into the special. 1t 13 impossible to get the views of the rail- road company ora sign of information in any way. Encineer Bowser and his mogul engine 420 belong to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and his home 18 At Creston, In. ‘The trip In which this wreck occurred was to have been his Iast prior to his return to Creston. 'The encineer stated to some par- that he recognized but misunderstood the orders and thought e was to meet the extra and mills, just outside the city, Therefore it "is ovident that ~ an in- yestigation alone will demonstrate where t o lies. Judge Mason for the rail- mission was early on the scene and the commission propose to see that the mat- ter s siffed and that justice is done in the matter. If the engineer was asleep at his post it would undoub shown that his uman endurance hi taxed to its utmost as has occurred many tines before and the blame attached where it belonged, During the day a good deal of excitement was abroad in the city and it was rumored atone time that three wen had perished. The track was cleared for the passage of trains at 2 p. m. il s FANATICS AT WORK. Attempted Assassinations in Russia On Account of Roligious Beliefs. LoNDON,July 15, —Advices from St. Peters- bura say that on July 10 a band of religious fanatics attempted to assassinate the wife of the Grand Duke Nicholas Constantinoviteh, son of the Grand Duke Constantine, uncle of the ezar. The attempt was nade at Paulavsk palace. All the fanatics were arrested. The cause given was that the graud duchess, who is a Lutheran, refused to modify the terms of her marriage covenant and become a member of the Greek church, It is thought the assassins mistook her for the wife of the Grand Duke Viadimir, brother of the czar, and who has been suspected of making prose- Iytes to ths protestant faith, It is stated that Protions to this attempt the fanatics als ried to kill Grand Ducliess Elizabeth, wife of the Grand Duke Sergius, She is aiso a potestant, being a daughter of the Grand Juke Louis LV, of I A Prince Ferdinand's Reply.

Interest Uentered in the Coming State Conventions. Wasmyaron, July 15.—|Special Tele- gram to the BEE.|—DPoliticians bere are watching Ohio with great interest. The fact that the democratic convention, which meets on the 20th, is likely to nominate Thurman as a candidate for governor, in spite of his announced refusal, and that the republican convention on the 2ith will be asked to en- dorse John Sherman for president, gives to both conventions a national interest. The declaration of Senator Sherman that he does not want to be held up as a candidate for the presidency if there is any doubt in Ohio as to the sentiment in reference to his candl- dature, and the determination of his friends at Columbus to ask the state convention to indorse him as Ohio’s candidate, will be the means, perhaps, of settling the question of Shermaun’s candidature before the repub- lican national convention me: In a let- ter to Colonel Mussey Senator Sher- man has said: “l do not desire the nomination, nor shall L encourage any one to secure it for me,until the Ohio republicans shall with substantial unanimity express their wish for my nomination.” This Is ac- cepted as notitication that Sherman will ask the state convention to ratity his desires for the presidential nomination. This will not be obtained according to Ohio men, as easily as Sherman and his friends anticipate, but even should the convention endorse Sher- man such action will have no binding force on the delegates to the national convention, who will be chosen nextspring. As an Ohio republican, not unfriendly to Sherman, speaking of this matter, said that while it was an undoubted fact that a majority of the people of Ohio fayor Sherman as the repub- lican candidate, it would perhaps be discov- ered that Blaine's friends in the state would have a sufficient number of men_in the con- vention to preventthe passaze of a resolution Indorsing Sherman, and in this they will have the support of Foraker's friends, who hove that he may become a favorite son and supplant Sherman. NEW YORK, July 15.—[Special Telegram to the B! peaker Keifer, now in this city, tells the Tribune he thinks there will be little, it any opposition to the passage by the Ohio state convention of a resolution endorsing Sherman for president. e thinks Governor Foraker will be renominated with- outopposition, and be elected by 25,000 to 80,000 majority. Holman Will Not Run. WAsmNGTON, July 15.—|Special Telezram to the BEeEk.]—An intimate friend of Con- gressman 1olman says that that gentleman proposes to end his congressional career with the present congress. The reason as- signed is the growing strength of the labor party in his distrlet. This friend says that Holman is convinced that the labor party will place a full ticket, national, county and state in the next year and that this move will draw 80 many votes away froin him as to assure his defeat, and for this reason he has already decided to withdraw from the lield early.

Yes, the Knights of Labor are breaking u and they will continue thei rulllll'\l worl of breaking up until universal rights shall prevail; and while they may not bring in the millennium, they will do their part in the evolution of moral forces that are work- ing for the emancipation of the race.” e BRAVE FRANK ROBINSON.

Swift and Campboll, againat Alexander 1. Swan, of Cheyenne; Charled E. Anthony, ot Peoria; Charles A.

Spinney, Bertha Snydacker, Emanuel Mandel, lsane Lowen- berg, Patrick Long, Eugene Arnstein and Samuel Marks. In 1883 the Swan & Frank Live Stock company, the National Cattle company, and the Swan, Frank & Anthony Cattle company, composed of the above named parties wore grazing cattle over ranges In Wyoming Territory. Thesq corporations jolned with James Wilson of Edinburgh and sold out for $2,553,825 to the Swan Land and Cattle company, which Wilson had worked up among Scottish cap- italists, among them being Lord Douglas Gordon and Colin J. McKenzie. The com~ plaintalloges that the purchasers relied upon the false representation of Alexanaer H. Swan upon untried inventories of cattle, and upon reports of one Thomas Lawason, an agent in pay of the selling companies. Complainant says that instead of 89,167 head of cattle as represented, there were no more than 60,000, and that in many other respects wero the iuventories which were shown them untrue. In making the sale the coms plaint says that Swan represented the nums ber of calves from the herd would equal 2 while in fact they were only 1,600. The complainants ask $500,000, which they say would only about cover the loss they suse tained. - ‘The suit brought to-day is a sequel to the fatlure ot Swan Bros., of Clieyenne, a fcw weeks ago. It was then announced that the Swan Land and Cattle company would be in no way affected, but it is known that imse mediately after the Swan Bros. failure some of the Scotch directors ot the cattle company hurried to this country, and it is supposed that the suit brought to-day is the result of their investigations.
