Later Details of the Caieson Disaster at Louisville. SOME OF THE BODIES RECOVERED Terrivle but the Inefficient Struggle of Imprisoned Men to Escape Their Doom—Bodies Tightly Wedged Together, Two More Katalities LovisvitLe, Ky, Jan. 10.—Early this morning the bodies of three of the unforwun~ ate viotims of the caisson accident were re- covered by the workmen, The positions in which they were found showed that a des. perate strugele had taken place at the nars row door of the escape. One negro had suc- ceeded 10 pulling his body through the aper- ture, but death had overtagen him just when life was promised. Another negro had crawled partly through. His bhands were fastened in deuth in . the clothing of the mnegro in front of him, showing that he had diea in a desperate endeavor to escape first. Between the two negroos was the body of a white man. It appeared from his position that he was trying to push back some one who was clinging to his legs, The sand ac- cumulating at the door by the sudden sink- ing of the caisson had wedged the body of the white man in such a manner that it could not be removed. A further investigation shows two more men to have lost their lives, Hamilton Mos ris and Lowis Cox, making the total sixteen. Mingle, the resident engineer of the bridge company, was seen, He expressed tho opin- ion that somo one was evidently to blame for not having the trap door in proper conaitiol and also for the weakness of the caisson, which resultea in the ieak, The timekcepor on duty yesterday after- noon saya: *“Ihere was nothing to be scen from the outside to indicate what had taken place. ‘There was no noise and the first in- timation that there was an accident was when the four men appeared at the top of lock aud shouted to the engineer to turn in more air t keep back the water, The engine was going ata great speed and a great quantity of air was forced into the caisson, and we could seo millions of bubbles on the surface of tho water which indicated that the air was not veing confined to the box.” Robert Baldwin, reported last nicht as being among the dead, and Lewis Cox, re- ported this morning s dead, have made their appearance. Only one body has been vecovered up to this hour, noon. The other bodies in sight are wedged in the manhole 50 that they can’t bo removed.

Mapnip, Jan, 10.—Thenfant king suffered another cardiac attack during the night, but later the attack decrecsed in severity, and there was a slight improvement in his condi- tion. Three more doctors were summoned last night for consultation with the house- hold physicians. The primelminister was present at the consultation. After 4 oclock the king was less foverish and spoke a few words to his mother. The consultation of the physicians lasted an hour. ‘Ihe queen regent, the king's mother, ‘was present and wept profusely. Senor Sa- Rusta passed the entire night at the bedside of the king. At 5o'clock revuisives were applied to the head of the king and later blisters. Afterward he became calmer and the fever disappeared. A bulletin issued nv 4p.m. states that the king is rosting qui- etly. ‘The government has adopted special meas- ures to prevent an outbreak in the event of the king’s death, Although tiere is no considerable change in the condition of the king there are some symptoms that indicate slight improvement. He slept in the morning, but was aguin feverish in the afternoon. At a cabinet courn- cil at which Senor Sagasta presided it was unanimously docidea that the miuister should remain in office with unimpaired powers and in the event of the king's death the crown should pass immediately to iis eldest sister, with Queen Christina as re- gent. Queen Christina wired to Vienna tonight that the condition of Alfonso is improving hourly, Lying in State. BERLIN, Jan, 10,.—~The body of Empress Augusta 18 lying in state in the chapel of Schloss.

Louis, Jan. 10.—A special from Alton, 11, says that the trouble over the admission of colored people to the public schools has broken out afresh in the white districts. The question has heen up two or three times and the courts decided once that the colored children are entitled under the organic law to attond the sime schools as the whites. Stroug _opposition developed, however, and as tho great mass of coloved upper Alton live' in_one district a school building was set apart for their use, the school board radistricting the town to meet the emergency. = This, however, did not long sutisfy the negroos, who have baen threaton- ing that they would force their way into the high school building and with that end in view recently inscituted mandamus proceediugs to compel the board to redistrict the town on a “more equitable basis.” ‘Pending tue decision a few negro families moved into the high schoel district and yesterday eight or ten colored children, accompanied by their parents, ‘appiied for admission. ‘I'he superintendeat ussigned them to rooms in the lower grades. 'They were not, how- ever, assigned by the teachers, At tno fore noon recess tho colored children were driven off the grounds by thie whites and did not re- turn during the day. At the hour of open- ing the school today, however, they, accom- panied by their pareats, marched to the high school building and demanded admittance. A body of white citizens who had assembled resisted the demand and the citv marshal on searching several negroes found revolvers and other weapons in theiwr possession. Many of the whites were also founa armed, but hostilities were prevented by the judi- cious action of the authorities. At a meeting this afternoon the school board resoived to dismiss the colored school in the “colored district” and to substitute a mwixed school in its place. - Action was also taken on the establishment of the boundary lines which will adwmit s0me of tho blacks to the bi h school building. This is a victory for the blacks and a good deal of bitterness is expressed. The whites threaten to desert the schools and to default on their school taxes. —— WILL ANSWER DAVIS.

NEW YoR, | ologram to Tue Bi X woekly re- view of trade says An ensier money market and cooler weather have helped business some, The lurge payments by the treasury have much relidved the money warket, the excess of disbursements over receipts during the y week huving been no less than §:200,000. But the remarkable movement in foreign exchauge, which has risen from $1.84 to #4.50 during a single week, tends strongly to wnorease the impression that the advance in rates by the Bank of Kngland to 6 per cent, and the refusal of gold bullion for export by that bank, have started a considerable real- izing on American securitios by foreign holders. The possibility of pold ex- ports at no distant day is thereforo discussed. Imports and ~ oxports have both fallen off very much since Junuary 1, und while either change but temporary, there are some point 1 a different conclusien. Cotton exports have been may be facts whicn remarkably heavy for three months, and are now falling ‘vehind last year's, a change which is natural and must bo expected to continue, The movement of wheat was not large in Decern- ber, with prices comparatively low, and can hardiy bo expected to increase much with higher pr In general, the forcirn de- mand for American products must have been to some extent satisficd for the present by the unprecedented exports of the past quarter.

One Fact is worth a column of rhetoric, said an American statesman, Itis a fact, es- tablished by the testimony of thousands of people, that Hood’s Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula, salt rheum,and other dis- cases or affections ariring from impure state or low condition of the blood.
