THREE OF THE INJURED WILL DIE rof. Emerson of Amherst College Among Those Who Recolved Fatal fnjuries —Briel Rallway Disaster, Dotails of an Awful Fremoxt, 0., Aug. 6.—A terrible wreck occured last night shortly after 10 o'clock at Lindsecy, a village cight miles west of this place, on the Lake Shore & Michigan South- ern railroad. An engine and three slecpers were badly demolished and three people were killed outright, while fully twenty-five were more or less badly injured. The wreck was caused by the collision of n west-bound passenger train and an east- bound freight. The Pacitic express, due at this place at 9:30 o'clock, left about ten minutes late. The coachies and sleevers were all well filled with people, many of whom were on their way to Chicago. At Lindsey, the next station west of this place, the train passed a local freight, No. 74, which had been side-tracked to await the passage of train No. 9. The train was run- ning at full speed and passed safely, until the slcepers neared the switch, close to the freight, when the first three sleepers jumped the track and ran into the engino of the freight. The engine was wrecked and the sleepers crushed like eggshells, As the sleepers wero filled with passengers, it seems « miracle that all were not instantly killed. Agony tor All The scene that followed the collision was heartrending. The grouns of the dying, the shricks of the injured und the hissing of escaping steam combined to add horror to a sight that will long be remembered by those who witnessed it Work was at once begur to renderaid to the injured and thosc who were imprisoned in the ruins, The dis was immediately reported, and an ext composed of an engme and coach wus mado up atthis place. Drs, William Caldwell, ¥.U. Hilbush, M. Stamm and K. B, Meek had in the meantime beeu summoned, and the pavt; at once procecded to the sceue of the wreck. ‘The sight that greeted them was terrible, The track for some distance was covered with debris, beneath which several persous were imprisoned. Legs, hands and arms protruded here and there from beneath the ruins. Dead and Woundud. . It was later learned that the dead were Tngineer Edward Lafferty of the local freight, Charles Spane, a brakeman on the same train, and Porter Robertson, porter of the sleeper Erie of Chicago. On arrival of the medical purty the injured were at once taken care of with the united efforts of the physicians of this city and Drs. Woll and Steirwalt of Lindsey. About fifteen of the injured who had received wounds of a less dangerous character, after receiving medical attention, proceeded on their westward journey on thet part of the passenger train which had escaped dam- age. The othiers who received serious injur- ies were taken to the hotel Nichols and pri- vate idences where they are now receiy- ing the best of care, Serlously Injured, Pror.

OMAHA, MONDAY MOR VEBRASKA'S SAND HILLS Tobias Castor's Scheme to Prepare Them for Settlers, WILL BE LEASED IN LARGE BLOCKS Certain Improvements to 3o Made as Rent witha View of Turning the fLand Uver to the Homesteader Later. 513 FOURTER {T1 STREET, Wasmixaros, Aug. 0. Democratic National Committeeman To- bias Castor of Nebraska, in speaking to Tie Bee correspondent today of the propositions to people the sand hills of northwestern Nebraska and make them productive, said: “Ithink the only practical procedure for the federal government is to lease the lands in large blocks for grazing, agricultural, or other purposes, and require as rent that cer- tain improvements shall be made from year to year o as to bring the lands in time up to apoint where they would be acceptable to the homesteade: I believe it will be necessary in order to secure the desired improvements in the way of timber growths, irrigation, ete., to lease v counties and for long cnough periods to warrant substantial and thorough improvements. If a county could be leased for say fifteen to twenty-five years, the lease would warrant seed im- s and would not only benefit these lands decivedly, but the surrounding coun- T'he leases should be as long as the life fence anyway, which would be ten to 'n years, I would not recommend the immediate sale of the sand hills nor do I think it feasible to consider irrigation or timber growth by the government. It is useless to talk of homesteading these lands in their peesent condition upon any terms.” It is unaerstood that Secretary Morton en- tertains views similar to those expressed by Mr. Castor. Castor Starts Home Today. Tobias Castor told Tur Ber correspondent tonight that he had definitely concluded to leave Washington tomorrow evening. ‘I shall go direct to Lincoln,” said he, ‘‘re- main there a couple of days, and then leave for the Tongue river in 'Montana, where I shall fish for ten days. Thereis the finest trout fishing on the Tongue river in Montana you can fina in this country. No, T shall not be back in Washington soon, not before De- cember. Tomorrow morning I go to the In- terior department, where an effort will be made to arrive ata conclusion as_to what three land districts and oflices in Nebraska shall be aholished. T then go to the Depart- ment of Justice for a few minutes, to see what 1 can learn about the United States district attorneyship in Nebraska and then am ready to leav Pull of the Stiver Men. After as careful inquiry as couid be made during the past week and today aumong the men who have arrived in Washing- ton, T I ondent is led to believe that the chances arc three to one that even the house will not pass an_unconditional re- peal of the Sherman_ silver purchasing act; that a compromise will be effected in the way of a suspension of the silyer purchase clause fora while, until permanent legislation is effccted, and that free coinage under an increased ratio probably about 20 to 1, will be the outcome. Shoula the house pass an_unconditional roveal the senate is almost sure to adopta substitute on free coinage lines. There are many men in con- gress who would vote for the unconditional repeal of the silver Iaw, who would vote for anything to stop the hard times and restore confidel were it not that they know no bill favoring silver currency could then be made alaw while Mr. Cleveland is in the white house. To Protect National Banks. An amendment to the national banking law is to be offered in congress with a view to1ts carly adoption which wili tend to pro- tect banks from runs and forced closure in times like these, when no laws of good bank- ing have been violated and the institutions are solvent. Itis proposed to reduce the amount of reserve required and to give banics time to make turns when checks and other bills payablo are presented under cer- in condition here is very little doubt that the national banlks will be given circu- lntion to the par value of bonds deposited. The republican members of the Nebraska und lowa delegations in congress would favor these propositions and it is believed that most of the democrats would also, ns they vealize that the present administration and fear of destructive democratic legisla- tion are the causes of the present financial stringency. 15, J. taines of Aurora, Neb, is at the Ebbit. Hon. George D. Meiklejohu of Nebraska is on deck for the extra session tomorrow.

[Copyrighted 1893 by James Gordon Bennett.] Varraramso, Chill (via Galveston, Tex.,) Aug. 6.—[By Mexican Cuble to the New York Herald—Special to Tue Bee. Herald's correspondent in Buenos Ayres telegraphs that Governor Costa of the prov- ince of Buenos Ayres isstill shut up in the city of La Plata’ and has little chance of escaping.. His forces are demoralized and it is belicved that the siege will end within a few hours with the evacuation of the city by the provincial gov- ernor's troops. Threp thousand civico nacionales ure encamped outside of Tempe: ley, roady to march inte La Plata. They are well armed and have several batteries of gatling guns, Bosch, a member.of the Chamber of Deplties, asked the cabinet to send a war ship to LaPlata to aid the governor in de- fending the city, but the request was not granted. Governor Costa suffered the humiliation of having the government directly refuse to ail him. Members of the cabinet informed his represcatative that the national governmént.would maintain a strict neutrality between the - combatants in the disturbed proyincés. Governor Costu is thoroughly frighténed now that the na- tional government 'lias refused to aid him in controlling the province, No Chance to Win, With the strong force which the civico na- cionales have near the city, the demoralizi- tion of his own troops and the refusal of aid from Buenos Ayres, his chunces of winning are small. He has & steamer anchored noar the city and pro- poses to cscape in her rather than run any chances of becoming captive of the revolu- tionists. Dr. Irigoyen, leader of the rad party of Bucnos Ayres, m an interview today, told me the civico nacionales, radi- cals and the national government were working together harmoniously. This view scems alsg’'to be taken by Caf- ferata, ex-governor of Santa Fe, who overthrown by the revolutionists. C: declares that the revolution is under the protection aud is being fomented by the members of President Saens Pena's cabinet. The families of many of the followers of Governor Costa have left the city of Buenos Ayres, fearing that, the civico nacionales troops way muke trouble uhere. — STONMS IN THE EAST.

The history which the make for itself will probably title in moro senses than one. Convened for a single specitic avject—the repeal or modifi cation of what is popularly known as the Sherman act—it will not be restricted to that bare program, but will have, iv connec- tion to legislate, upon the whole subject of finance, including probably a thorough re- vision of the tariff. Those two subjects, distinct and yet connected, will supply ma teial enough to occupy the attention of con- gress for many months to come, ‘While the senate will have the great ad- vantage of being guided and controlled by expericnced leaders and debaters on both sides of the chamber, it will also contain many members entirely new to its proceedings. Its presiding ofticer Vice President Stevenson, when he took the gavel on the 4th of March last, from the hand of the retiring vice president, Mr. Morton, had had no famiiarity with the rules of a legislative body, except that de- rived from his service in the house of repre- sentatives during two sessions of congre: and six weeks of an extra session, but in case of necessity Mr. Stevenson will have o reliable substitute to call to the chair in the person of the vresident of the senate, pro tempore, Mr, Harris of Tennessee. New Talent in the Cast. The state of California will have two new men in the sonate to look after her interests —Mr. White, who succeeded Mr. Hearst, and Mr. Perkins, who has just been ap- pointed by the governor to fill the place of Mr. Stanford; Kansas has joined to her populist senator, Mr. Peffer, a man on whom the democrats rely—Mr. Martin; Kentucky has a now senator, Mr. Lindsay, elected to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Carlisle's resignation; Louisiana has one in Mr. Car- rery, who took Tust January, tae seat made vacant by the death of Mr. Gib- Massachusetts has one in Mr. y Cabot Lodge, who succeeded Mr. Dawes; Neoraska has Mr. Allen, elected in session will justify that the placo of Mr. Paddock; New Jersey, Mr | Smith, elecied in place of Mr. Blodgett: New York, Mr. Murphy, elected in place of Mr. Hiscock; North Dakota, Mr. Roach in place of Mr. Pierce; West Virginia, Mr.Cam- den, who, however, served a former term in the senate from 1851 to 1887, and Wisconsin one in Mr. Mitchell, who, ilkke the vice vresi- dent, has had two terms experience in the house of representatives. In nddition to those new senators there are three others, us to whose admission the question was left undecided at the close of the extra session. A precedent has to be established in the case of senators nppointed by the governors of Montana, Washington and Wyoming. Sturs of the Troune: But it is to the old leaders of both political parties in the senate that tho public will look for action. Foremost on the republican sideis Mr. Sherman, who gave his name to the act now to be the subject of so much condemnation—an act which he has de- fonded as a compromise measure, and which ho is now wiling and anxious to see repealed. He will probably bo supported n whatever position he takes on the silver question by such able adjutants as Messrs Frye, Hoar and Morrill and he will be as ubly antagonized by such republi- can senators as Messrs. Jones of Nevada, Teller, Wolcott and Stowart. There are quite as many experienced de- baters and parliamentarians on the demo- cratic _side--including _senators Gorman, Gray, George. Harnis, Morgan, Pugh, Vest, Vanco and Voorhees, but they will range themselves not on party lines, but on their individual and state views of financial policy. How It Muy Start, The first business in order after the senate is called to order will be to administer the outh of office 10 the senators and the new secretary of the senate, The sonators who will take the oath are Mr. Perkins, who suc ceeds Senator Stanford, Mr. Pasco’ of Kl ida, who has been re-elected aftorserving interim under a_gubernatorial appointment, and Mr. Quay of Penusylvania, who was not present during the last extra session and so hus not yet qualified. As soon as notice is received from the house that it has organ- ized the proper committee will be appointed to await upon the president and notify him that congress is ready to reccive any com- munication he may care to make. If the senate is disbosed to go earnestly to work from the start ithas boforc it.as already stated. the privileged question of the right to seats of Senators Mantle of Mon- tana, Beckwith of Wyoming and Allen of Washington. Should the republicans insist upon the disposition of these cases uothing can be done until they are acted upon. Another privileged motion pending is Mr. Honr's resolution touching Senator Roach’s character, with Mr. Gorman's substitute, and still anotheris Mr. Chandler's rosolu’ tion of a similar nature concerning Seu- ator Powers. 8o far no line of polic has beon adopted by cither party on thes subjects, and it is probable that in both senate and the house the parties will caud during the week to agree upon their respec- tive lines of campaign Hundred Ne The house will be called to order by Clerk Kerr, who has been sclected by a caucus of his party for re-elestion, but who would, nevertholess, huve performed that duty under the law, a5 the holding over clerk o thelast house, e Af he had not been chosen for re-election.

Mgr.

Since Father Tetrean obtained the tiny particle of the saint's body which is in the shrino of the cturch, he has been en- deavoring to got & much_larger piece. Mgr. Murquis ami Father Tetrean are great fricnds, and soiit came about when the former went to Rome the latter asked him to intercede with the archbishop of Avignon for a very considerable portion of the saiut's boay, The monsignor was successful in his mission and there is great rejoicing at the chureh. The pieco Mgr. Marquis has cight or ten inches long and 15 fragment outside of the Basilica of Apt. The piece now in the church is a mero fragment about two inchies in length, “I'his gift, said Father Tetrean, takes on especial signidcance from the fucy that the tomb of St. Anne recently opencd in Jeru- salem was found to be empty. which partly confirms the tradition that Mary Magdelend, Martha and Lazavus in fleeing from the city carried the body with them and landed ut Marseilles, the capital of the province, brought is the largest e LOCALED AN ABNCONDER, Milwaukee Bank Cashler, Supposed to Be Deud, Seen in Denver.

THEY MAY YET BE CAUGHT AND HANGED Boone Township the Scene of an Exciting Man Hunt—Details of the Sensational AMuir—List of the Killed and Injured. Conyooy, Tnd., Aug. 6.—[Spectal Tologram to Tuk Bre. ] —Out in Boono township at 1 o'clock this morning Sam and Bill Conrad arranged a veception for a surprise party. The party went to call on the Conrad boys with a rope and the Conrads reversed the usual order of things by oponing up a fusie lade. There was no lynching, the boys es- caped and the mob carried home four dead men and one wounded, as follows: Dead: EDWARD 1TOUSTON, WILLIAM WISEMAN, JOHUN TIMBERLAKE, ISAAC HOWE, Wounded : WiLLIAM MAY, shot through left side; will die, About four months ago the township was greatly incensed against the Conrad brothers owing to tue current belief that they murdered their father. His dead body was found ono moruing in the woods near the Courad farm house, with ugly wounds in the head inflicted, as the coroner's jury agreed, by some persons unknown.” Au investigation by the sheriff, howover, led to the arvest of the sons. At that time populur feeling was so strong there came near being o lynching, but better counsel prevuiled and the prisoncrs were allowed to await the action of the jury that was to pass upon the case. Tho trial was ended a few days ugoin the acquittal of the Conrads. “They returned to their farm homodown near where the Olno wends its peaceful way, FPreparod for Troublo, But before going the boys, as a precau- tionary measure, took along a pair of double- barreled shotguns and enough ammunition to keep the flies off of prospective callers. The boys took turns ntinels. The ver- dict of the jury fauned into a more furious flame the wrath of the Boone people. They believed the evidence against the Conrads to be conclusive and talked of packed juries and law that was not justice. ‘There used to be an order of white caps in the township a long time ago and the ringleaders are said to have been Howe and Wiseman, These men passed the tip from farm house to farm house for a midnight meeting and after the women and babies had been put to sleep all over Boone township the wild meeting was adjourned after a plan of action had been outlined and, headed by Ed Hous- ton, several hundred horny-handed farmers sct out torches in hand and well armed for the Courad homestead. They intended to fire the house and, if the boys escaped cre- mation take them to a nearby tree and string them up. The boys had kept a tireless vigil. “The maddened mob had failed to act witte caution, no resistance being anticipated, A solid body of them marched straight to the front door and rapped. Replied with Bullets. There was not a word from the inside. No sound of warning came till two shots awoke the echoes and Houston aud Wiseman fell as almost the same moment. Another fusilade laid three more men low, and then the boys emptied a pair of pistols, A panic seized the crowd aud it scattered. There were fears that tho boys had been reinforced, and Al Williams, one of the men who made up the party, stated he felt sure there were hulf a dozen men in the house. Before a concerted plan of action could be agreed upon the Con- rads had made their escape. The mob set five to the farm house, picked up their dead und cared for those who sus- tained wounds, and have orgunized another party to scour the woods for ghe Conrads. It is a determined man hunt that isin progress in Boone township tonight. Very little information in addition to what has been reluted can be obtained tonight, The men who composed the mob, it is lenrned, were from threo townships. There were about 100, all mounted. Houston Hyed in Taylor township, Timberlake and Wises wan in Heth and Howe in Booue, All were farmers, wealthy sud well known, May, the young man who was wounded, is the son of the best known resident of Boone, It scems ho was shot through both oyes and left to shift for himself until the mob re. turned after being dispersed. The mother and sister of the Conrads lived o the house with them. They remained behind, There was little or no evidence agalnst the brothers. The old man was found in a ditch with his skull broken, a heavy club beside him, No motive for a crime so brutal could be found to present to the jury. There was some proof that the sons mistreated old man Conrad, but beyoud this there was nothing except that they might have wished to get rid of their duty in supporting him. [t scems & threatening letter was sent tha brothers the day they were scquitted, ordering them to leave the country on pain of death, e AT QUARANTINE STATION, Saveral Hundred Passengers Transforred to Hoffmun Island from the Karsmania, QUARANTINE STATION, 8.
