An Excursion's Frightful End.
ST. TuoMAfs Out. , July 15. A terrible ac-
clclcnt occurred at tlio crossing of the Grand
Trunk and Michigan Central railways In
thin city about 7 o'clock tills evening. An
excursion train on tlio Grand Trunk , from
Port Stanley , ran Into > i passing freight train
on tlio 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 tire and burned with great
fierceness , communicating to tlio cars
nn both trains and extending to
Griffith's warehouse , coal and lime
ulieds adjoining tlio track on tlio west ,
and John Campbell's dwelling on tlio east ,
nil of which were burned to the ground with
their contents. Engineer Donnelly of ttio
excursion train was burled In the wreck.
Ills llretnan jumped and escaped with slight
Injuries. The forward car of the excursion
train was tilled with passengers who made
frantic cITorts to escape but notwithstanding
hundreds of bravo and willing hands were
immediately at work to assist In their rescue ,
a number of lives were lost. At 8 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
tire In all directions , and severely , perhaps
fatally , Injuring many. At 8:30 : o'clock nine
bodies were taken out. They were burned
to a crisp.
THE HEATH MST NOT KNOWN.
It Is almost Impossible to ascertain with
any certainty tlio names of those lost In the
wreck until the arrival of the late train from
Tort Stanley. There are many conflicting
rumors , but it scorns almost curtain that En
glneer II. Donnelly , Mr. Zealand , clerk In J.
W. Nlckleborough's dry goods store , and
child , and the wife and child of Jaino
Smlthers , dry goods merchant , wore burned
to death. Mrs. Zealand was cot out badly

LINCOLN , Nub. , July 15. [ Special to th
Bii : : . | The most terrific wreck kuovvi
In the history of the B. & M. rallroai
occurred four miles cast of Lincoln carl
this morning between the regular Omah
freight coming west and a special fast stoc
express eastward bound. The regular tral
coming we > < t was drawn by the Chicago , Bin
Ilngton & ( Juincy mogul engine 4'JO and wa
train No. 23 on the company's time card
Engineer Bowser was at the throttle am
Norton was conductor. The special oas
bound from Lincoln was drawn by eugln
115 , Connelly engineer , and they had a
order of thirty miles an hour with orders t
meet the regular No. 33 at llavelock. Froi
j" " Lincoln east tor sixteen miles the track Is a
air line , straight as an arrow , and on th
open prairie the wreck occurred. So clen
was the night and so plainly was ever ]
thing visible that the night watc
man on the towar In the B. A M. yards sa1
the glimmer ot the headlights as the train
came together and the conflagration that ini
mediately followed.
When the trains crashed together the stoc
train going east had nearly stopped , but tl :
regular bore down unon them without eve
shutting ot ! steam , ami the man had bare !
time on both trains lo jump for their live
The crash came on the edge of a small bride
and the mogul engine was hurled backwun
thu lirst two cars behind it being thrown d
rectly over llo : lank and upon the boiler (
Iho engine. Fifteen carsvvcio clashed an
smashed together upon HID engines and upo
each oilier , ana In a second's lime were In
blrue. An eye witness savs the scene wt
beyond descilptlon. The head braueman o
the regular , who w.is riding In the engln
was caught In jumping and was r
leased terribly crushed and mai
gled. Three or lour cars of htoc
weie crashed to chaos In the wreck and tl
din wns terrible. But almost on top of tl
eiulnc was a car containing several horsi
and emigrant goods and in the car was tl
nwner of the goods. Dr. Reynolds and h
Ron , who weie curoute from their homo I
Koueville , Ohio , to iflalne county. In tw
minutes alter Ihe crash this car with Hi
others was In ( lames and Iho two roasicd I
Ihe ( lames until a hole was burned in the ar
of the car through which they crawled o
more dead than alive. The two were broui : !
to the city as speedily as possible aud take
to tha Tremont house where they we
allcnaed to by two physicians , at
lay In a precarious condition. Key noli
himself was burned terribly , on ono side tl
tlesn belnc fairlr roasted aud he was bad
burned Internally from breathing tin * tUmi
The boy wus burn d on both an
and on his breast and fntv , and his rerove
Is doubtful. At 4 p. ui. to-ua ) the phjHlclui
reported the two as resting quUtly , In li
midst of the. lire-at - the wreck two cars
the tank line that were In the wreck e
ploded and tilled the air with burnlnir i
thai made of ihe wreck alt ctTorls at wink
stop the Unities utterly powcrU"j , and of t
tiftten cars thai left Ihuirack thirteen burnt
to.ether with ( lie woodwork on the mug
engine and Iho bridge wheie Iho wreck r
cnrred. In addition to Ihls ' .HUOKA { we
cremated. Twenty-two hc.nl ol cattle wt1
tliher killed , burned , or had broken llml
aud lour horses perished. This slock w
thopioperty ot Ellis i Garlon , of lie WI
Mr. Garton being on the train at the lime
the wreck. Of the thlileen cars of ftia
tnniu'il , ono was u load ot wa
paper , another a car of nails , and six otlu
were loaded with farm machinery , besli !
the two oil cars that exploded and burned
The question ot blame tor the accident
undoubtedly upon Rnglneer Dowser , ot t
ivest-bound train , and It was an ott repeM
tssertion that be. to j ether with the them
jnd the Tor ward brakeman , were all asleep
the cnclno , leaving the train running at a
Inch rate ot speed , and on a straight line ot
track not ncelnif the special until they
crashed Into It. The conductor ot this train ,
who was In the way car as the train swuntr
by llavelock , saw the signals dlsplajed that
the engineer should have seen and heeded ,
and when ho saw that they were not heeded
ho was on his way to the front
ot the train to llnd out the
trouble when they crushed Into the ? pccla .
It Is Impossible to get the views of the rail
road company or a sign of Information In
anyway. Engineer Bowser and his mogul
engine 420 belong to the Chicago , Burlington
As ( } ulncv , and his home Is at Creston , la.
Tim trip In which this wreck occurred waste
to have been his last prior to his return to
Creston. The engineer stated to some par
ties that he recognized but misunderstood
the orders and thought ho was to meet the
extra and aide track at the Capital
mills , just outside the city. Therefore
it Is evident that an In
vestigation alone will demonstrate where
the trouble lies. Judge Mason for the rail
road commission was early on the scene and
the commission propose to see that the mat
ter Is slf'ed and that justice Is done in the
matter. It the engineer was asleep at his
post It would undoubtedly bo shown that his
[ luman endurance had been taxed to Its
utmost as has occurred many times befoio
and the blame attached w hero It belonged.
During the dav a good deal of excitement
was abroad In tlio city and It was rumored
nt one time that three men had perished.
The track w.is cleared tor the passage of
trains at 2 p. in.
FANATICS AT Wolllt.
Attempted Assassinations In Hnisln
On Account or Hell loiis Kclicfr.
Jx > Ni > oNJuly 15. Advices from St. Peters
burg say that on July 10 a band of religious
fanatics attempted to assassinate the wife of
the Grand Duke Nicholas Constantinovltch ,
son of the Grand Duke Constantlne , uncle of
the czar. The attempt was made at Paulavsk
palace. All the fanitlcs were arrested. The
cause given was that the grand duchess , who
Is a Lutheran , refused to modify the terms
of her marrlago covenant and become a
member ot the Greek chinch. It Is thought
the assassins mistook her for the wife of the
Grand Duke Vladimir , brother of the czar ,
and who has been suspected of making prose
lytes to ths protestant talth. it Is stated tli.xt
previous to this attempt the fanatics also
tried to kill Grand Duchess Ellrabeth , wife
of the Grand Duke Seru'ins. She Is also a
Protestant , being a daughter of the Grand
Duke Louis IV , of Hesse.

WATCHING OHIO.
Interest Centered In the Coming Stntc
Conventions.
WASHINGTON , July 15.- | Special Tele
gram to the BEE.J Politicians hero are
watching Ohio with r real Interest. The fact
that the democratic convention , which meets
on the 20th , Is likely to nominate Thurinau
as a candidate for governor , In spite of his
announced refusal , and that the republican
convention on the 27th will bo asked to en
dorse John Sherman for president , gives to
both conventions a national Interest. The
declaration of Senator Sherman that he docs
not want to be held up as n candidate for the
presidency If there Is any doubt In Ohio as
to the sentiment In reference to his candi
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
Sherman's candidature before the repub
lican national convention meets. In a let
ter to Colonel Mussey Senator Sher
man has said : " 1 do not desire the
nomination , nor shall 1 encourage any one
to secure It for me.untll the Ohio republicans
slull with substantial unanimity evpiess
their wish for my nomination. " This Is ac
cepted as notification that Sherman will ask
the state convention to ratity his desires lor
the presidential nomination. ' 1 his will not
be obtained according lo Ohio men , as easily
as Sherman and his 1'riPiuh anticipate , but
even should the convention endorse Sher
man such action will have no binding force
n the delegates to ihe national convention ,
i ho will bo chosen next spring. As an Ohio
epubllcan , not unfriendly to Sherman ,
ipoaklng of this matter , said that vvhilo It
vas an undoubted fact that a majority of the
icopte of Ohio favor Sherman as the repub-
Ican candidate , It would perhaps bo discov
ered that Blalno's friends in the state would
iavo a sufficient number of men in the con-
entlon to proven tt lie nassairo of a resolution
ndorsing Sherman , and In this they will
ave the support of 1'oraker's friends , who
one that he may btcomo a favorite sou and
implant Sherman.

iredilors of Maurice Rosonluld it Co. , to-day ,
Mr. Glllett , who had examined the books ,
; aid that the original eapital of the sus

membership they only had 510,000 loft to use
u their business. The liabilities aie esti
mated at 8000,000 , and the collectable assets
wore estimated to pay 10 per cent. Kosen-
fold'a relatives would uut up 15 per cent and
enable the payment of 25centson settlement.
A large number of members were willing to
accept this but six or seven stock houses reused -
: used , as they had already scented enough
iroperty of Rosenfeld's to net them 25 pen
cent. A committee was appointed to center
with and Induce them to Ruttlo at 21 cents.
Should they refuse It was proposed to oftes

Tekninnh'u Texnu Fever.
LINCOLN , Neb. , July 15.-Dr. F. L. Bit-
Ings returned from Tekamah to-night and
says that the disease among the cattle there
; s surely Texas fever , but that when the na
tive cattle which have been thus far exposed
: o the infection have died oil , it will end.
With those that have already died the num
ber will bo about 200. This outbreak con
tradicts the assertions about this disease and
trust killing It , as subsequent to the arrival
of the Texans there the thermometer went
nearly tooro twice. Again these cattle
were not pure Texans but half-bleed ; , and
it Is said they are as liable to the disease i
northern cattle , but not ono has been sick.
It is also said theio is no Texas fever whore
they came from , so that how they could have
got the disease is an open question. No
natives have been effected Iroin natives ,
which corresponds to previous oxpeilencos.
Dr. Billings will make an experimental
study ot the disease If It is possible to ob
tain .some of the diseased natives.
