The worst w reck over known In this part of the state of West Virginia , If not the worst that ever happened in Iho state , occurred ubout 8 o'clock this morning on the Kanawha & Ohio railway , eight mlles west of horo. The passenger train for Columbus , O. , pulled out from hero with two car loads of excursionists , among them tbo order of United American Mechanics , who were going to Poca. The wrck occurred on a high trcstlo. The sleepers had caught flro during the night and burned so that the rails spread under the train. The cnglno and baggage and mall ours passed over safely , but the two conches wcro thrown from the track , and after running some forty feet on the sleepers the forward car topnled to the loft , tha rear going to the right. The for ward car turned completely over , landing right side up. The other fell some twenty foot , turning upsldo down , and onn sot of trucks fell on top of it , crushing the car to ipllntcrs. Under this place most of the dead were found. . Surgeons and n relief train wcro sent at onco. The scones among the dead and dying were heartrending. Ono little bably lost father nnd mother. Ono man's head was severed at Iho mouth nnd his head was fished out from under the wreck several hours after his bou y was found. It is feared there are ono or two. bodies yet under the wreck.

I The German emperor and cmprejs are the Imns of the hour and will continue to bo so for a week. Their Imperial yacht , HohonAollom , this afternoon entered port , Victoria , where It , was received wlih n deafening salute from the English fleet. They were received by the prlnco of Wulos , the dukes of Edinburgh Connoitught and Clarence , the German ambassador Count Halzfeldt and other member * of thu German embassy. After lunch on Iho Hohenzollcrn the royal and Imperial party took a train for Windsor , which was brilliantly decorated for the oc casion. Ehe emperor and empress nro guests of the queen at the eastlo during the visit It will be a busy weeK for court ofllcinls and for the omperor. Every hour of his time Is pro vided for , between the review at Wimbledon , the vlsit.1 to Guild hall , the opera and other features provided for his amusement or boro- dom. A Itldlciilons Complication. His proposed visit to Covent Garden theater is the cause of a ridiculous complica tion ridiculous in English eyes , but blood- curdlngly serious to French optics. What ! French artists sing before the German < nn- pcrorl Never ! French capers and not a tow French artists howled long and loudly at the suggestion. Augustus Harris wisely kept his mouth shut until everybody else was done talking. A fovv artists said they would rather lose their engagements than slrig before - fore the young emperor , but these few wcro not engaged at Covent Garden. LaSallo and his brother artists , who are engaged there , resolved to net loyally towards the English munagor and suld they would sing , but Harris , knowing the sort of reception they would receive in Paris on their return decided to relieve them , so no French mem bers will appear at thu state performance on Wednesday. La Snlto says tha idea of refus ing to sing never entered his head , but there Is a maro'.H nest stirred up by Henri Kocuo- fort , who know nothing about what they were talking about as Harris told him. German 1'rcHH Delighted. Tha Gorman press is delighted at the emperor's visit to England and dwells upon radical afllnlties and traits of character existing between the two nations. They describe the meeting of William and Victoria as ono between the moimrchs of the two most peace-loving na tions of Europe. Of course England's friendly bearing toward the triple alliance is not forgotten nor does the Gorman press In return for many compluitts porhups , fonrot to point out that England's ' greatest enemies are countries inimical to the triple alliances. Whatever may bo the reason the English public is in a far moro friendly mood to the Gorman emperor than upon the last visit. The reason probably is that ho is moro of n man and less of a boy than scorned probable. A Ituynl Marriage. The marriage of the Princess I.ouUo of Schleswlg Holstoln and Prlnco Arlbert of Anhalt Is tha event of Monday , to taku place at St. George's chapel , Windsor castlo.

WALES' ' APPEARANCE COMMENTED UPON. Dciildcd ContrnHt Itctwccii the 1'rlnoc'n PortllncsH and Hln Son's Details ol' the Great Kveut. LONDON' , July 4. Long before the hour sot for the departure from Charing Cross rail road station this morning of the train which was to carry to Port Victoria the members of the royal family and others who were to welcome the emperor of Germany to England that depot was surrounded by n largo crowd of peoole , bent upon cheering , commenting upon or guying the many celebrities who wcro oxpeoted to bo moro or less on view at that point. As the hour for the departure of the "roy alties" drew near Charing Cross station , outside - side and Inside , was a sleht to bj long re membered. The generil public was entirely excluded from the station platforms moro than an hour before noon , the tlmo stated for the , departure of the royal train , thifs putting many good citizens to considerable Inconven ience by compelling them to tro to other rail road stations If they dcslrod to travel over these lines which touch at Clmrlng Cross. The result was some good humored grumbling , a An imposing force of police from the "A" and "C" divisions surrounded the station and the "bobbles" certainly man aged to preserve a high degree of order and to make the arrival and departure of the car riages of the welcoming party n matter of very little trouble to anybody. The weather was decidedly pleasant , a fact which tended to mnkn everybody feel good humored. GorjieoiiH Carpet for Hoyal Feet. In order that the feet of royalty and others highly distinguished might not bo soiled by contact with the common flooring of the rail road station a gorgeous red velvet carpet was spread from the entrance of the depot Into and across the main platform and along the siding platform , running the whole length of the depot. The edifice itself , never very cheering oven upon the brig'htost of days , was this morning rendered positively brilliant with floral bunting and other decorations. Sir Mlles Fentou , general manager of the Southeastern railroad company , and other high olllclals of the road were present , actlvelv and personally superintending all the details of this important event. The best of the salon carriages ( well stocked with solid and liquid refreshments ) and the most powerful of the ' engines company's were pro vided for the occasion , the guards , engine drivers and other train attendants botntr quite dazzling In new uniforms and brass Dutlons. Distinguished Arrivals. Among the first arrivals at Charing Cross was Sir Edward Malct , the British ambassa dor to Berlin , who , like every other ofllclal in any way connected with the welcoming of thu emperor , was clad in the bril liant full diplomatic and other uniform of his rank. Tno next few arrivals included Major General Sir John O'Neill , equerry to her majesty : Colonel Sir Frederick Carrir.g- ton , and Admiral Sir John Commeroll , all three with their breasts covered with oroors and decorations. These ofllcors have boon especially attached to the staff of the Ger man emperor during the latter's stay in this country. The duke of Edinburgh , in the uniform of a Prussian general , was the next important personage to bo recognized by th'j throng out- slue the railroad depot. The duke , who Is popular with the masses , was warmly cheereu. Count Von Hatzfoldt , tbo German ambas sador bore , appeared .soon after the duke of Edinburgh. The count was accompanied by nil the attaches of tlio Gorman embassy , all in the uniforms of the diplomatic corps. ' The duke of Connaught , in the scarlet and silver uniform of n colonel of tno Slothcn hussars of the guard , followed the Gorman ambassador a few minutof iater. The band of this line regiment , of which the duke is bonorarj colonel , is expected to play In Eng land during tbo emperor's visit. Fat I'rlnuo and Lean Duko. A minute or so before It was tlmo for the royal train to draw out of the depot the prince of Wales , accompanied by his oldest son , the duke of Clarence and Avondale , both wearing the uniform of tha iid hussars and decorated with the Hohonzollcrn order , arrived at the btatlon , looking somewhat an noyed at the fact thr.t they wcro behind time. People who were near to this roj'al couple commented upon the fact that the prlnco of Wales' portly figure was decldcdlv 111 adapted to the tight fitting Gorman uni form which ho were for that occasion in honor of tha emporor. The same people who commented upon the prince of Wales' to paunchy appearance also noticed that the sumo unlforn on his son brought Into un pleasant prominence tbo remarKable thinness of the young duko. By this tlmo the station platform was fairly crowded with men In uniforms of all colors and descriptions stars , ribbons and crosses bv the gross apparently adorned tha bosom of everybody present. To Judge from the decorations they displayed the royal party mu t have been composed of warriors who had taken glorious part in every war aud every battle fought anywhere during the last fifty years. After a short delay , during which the bril liant relatives passed the time In exchanging greetings and compliments , an example which was followed by tholr equally brilliant staffs , the suggestion that thev embark on the train was uttered and some minutes later the royal party was on Its way to Port Victoria. At Port Victoria , the landing plaeo of the royalty near Sheeriess , extraordinary prep arations had been made by the various otll- clals Interested , who were all under the com mand of the duke of Portland , who , ns the master of the horso. had full charge of the welcoming ceremonies In all their details. Nobody was allowed to pass Into the landing oler exrept the members of the royal fami lies , their suites and the diplomatic corps MiorrnoHM Harbor a Itcantll'nl Sl lit. Shccrncss harbor was a fraud , beautiful sight. Both the channel und training squad ron were at anchor there as a guard of honor , probablx liner than which never before saluted a monui'ch. In addition to this powerful licet theru was gathered us line n flotilla of torpedo boats as any admiral need wish to have at his disposal. Warships lined each tide of the harbor , und backed up by the hugn forU and smaller fighting ship * , ull dressed from btom to stern with flut tering bunting , they formed a picture calculated tn tnaUo an EnglUhmaii's breast tweJl with pride. In honor of the Imperial guest the warships , lu addition to their owu distinctive flairs , also How the standard of Germany to the breezo. , At 11 : : iO a. m. exactly thojfnndsoma cruUer Tartar passed In advancoof , , the lleot as n scout vessel , aud , accompanied by a flotilla of warships and n swarm of tprpcdo bouts , put to sea In order to give the main body of the Hoot duo warning of the npproach of the Im perial yacht which was bearing the German emperor towards these shores. Thundered Kortli the Hoyal Salute. At noon the Tartar signalled to the ship nearest to her that the Hohonzollorn was In sight. This signal was repeated from the second vessel to the third and so on. The Hobenzollern was co.tvoyod by the Gorman protected cruiser Princess Wtlhelm. As the Gorman ships ncarcil the line of the British warships all tno latter thundered forth a royal suluto and mi.nned tholr yards with almost miraculous rapidity , whllo the bands played the Go.'man anthem. Tno roar of guns , the cloud of gunpowder smoke , the dis tant muslo of naval bunds , the fine bracing weather , the splendid war vessels , the f.iownlng forts and the refreshing breeze , all combined to make as attractive a picture oC welcome as nnv emperor ever had or may over expect. The greeting was without par allel In tbo history of England , and the emperor peror could not fall to bo delighted with the reception. The first glimpse of the emperor was whnn ho was soon stnndlnir upon the bridge of the Holienzollern , dressed In thu uniform of n British admiral. Ho was In company with the empress , and both were accompanied by brilliant suites. The Ilolianzollern steamed slowly through the lines of thundering Brit ish war vessels , every oub of which having the saluting rank llroa a'saluto of iwenty-ono guns. In the meanwhile the British loyal party had arrived at Port Victoria , und were await ing the young emperor on the landing stage , which was most beautifully decorated with flowers , plants and bunting for the occasion. Grout I'ciiplo Meet. Finally the Imperial yacht ran safely alongside the pier and amid a strange silence upon the part of Iho assembled crowds and with moro bund playing Emperor William stepped ashore nnd being mot by the prlnco of Wales , graciously kUsod the holr apparent to the throne of Great.BrituIn and received the greetings of the other members of tlio royal family nnd also bowed to the welcome of the diplomatic corps and others. The prlnco of Wales praoofully kissed the hand which the empress of Germany extended to him and after an exchange ot complimentary phrases ho emperor asked the royal party to inspect the Hohonzollorn. The offer was promptly accepted. Subse quently the whole party partook of light luncheon on board the Hohen/ollern. After luncheon the emperor Inspected the guard of honor and uttered long his compliments upon the -"oldlorly bearing of the men. Bouquets were handed to the empress as her majesty was entering the train and * salutes of artil lery wcro fired as thotrajn'8tarted. ' Evor. ) station along the line to Waterloo was filled with crowds , who cheered enthus iastically as the carriages hwent past. Dur ing n short hult at Waterloo the emperor , responding spending to Incessant Volleys of cheers , stepped out upon the platform of bis car riage und repeatedly saluted. Similar scenes weio witnessed ull along ( tie line to Windsor. The station there was beautifully decorated. The Grenadier guards formed the guard of honor. ( Upon the arrival of the , train the princess of wales greeted the emperor and empress. With nor were the Princesses Beatrice and Christian and the. Princesses Victoria nnd Maude of Wales , Prmco'Chrtstian , the duke of Cambridge nnd Prjnco Henry of Batton- bufg. ( ' & Procession to \ \ lndnor.

The route of the processfon was lined with infantry and cavalry , which kept in check Ihe serried mass of spectators. Everywhere there was a lavish display of decora tions. To an unceasing ovation ac companying their progress the German emperor and empress replied with tholr sal utes. At the guild ball , the town clerk read an address of welcome. The mayor then made a short , effective speech , to which the emperor made n laconic reply. The procession then started toward the quadrangle of the castlo. Here tbo ICnlghts of St. George wcro grouped around the statue ot Charles II. Than the guards nnd the yoemen of the guard lined the quadrangle , ivhilo the scarlet uniformed soldiers filled the approaches and the , ramparts of the tower. The lord ctmmbcVlaln , accompanied by several naval anil " * military ofllcors , awaited the arrival of the imperial visitors at the entrance of Iho main hull of the state departments.

The queen mot him at the threshold and und affectionately embraced him. All the royalties followed the emperor and the door was closed.

The foreign ofllco is De ceiving through Uaron Blorbonstoln , secre tary of stnto for foreign affairs , n scries of telegrams Indicating the character of Bin- pcror William's recaption In England. The reception at Windsor castle appears to have been contrary to the expectations o { the ofll- ccrs and the general public. The telegrams received up to a late hour , though meagro , confirm the hopj that the omperor's visit in England will bo ono continuous ovation , the warm ofllclnl greetings finding countunanco In the popular enthusiasm. Both public and ofllclal Interest will cul- mlnato In the reception at the guild hall on Friday nnxt. Diplomatic circles here and probably every government In Europe have reason to expect that the emperor will announce the nature of the treaty Just con cluded maintaining the drlcbund. According to the belief in ofllclal circles the emperor has discretionary power to disclose the nature of the treaty between Germany and Italy. The now drlubuml pact Includes three distinct agreements ono between Germany and Austria , similar to the first defensive treaty which was nluncd In Octo ber , 1871) ) , another between Germany and Italy and the third between Austria and Italy. The Gorman-Italian treaty will bo mndo public If Lord Salisbury gives his as sent to the stop , whllo that between Austria and Italy will remain unrevoalcd. The Idea Is that the puielv defensive character of the Italian agreement ought to assist In modify ing the irritation of Franco. The tone of the English press In seeking to attenuate the Import of Emperor William's visit to Enirland Is understood , but not ap preciated horo. The emperor has not irene surrounded by leading political and millttry household oflleluls. Ills visit Is merelv n ceremonial ono , and Is devoid of political big- nlllcanco. The North Gorman Gazette tonight , In nn obviously soml-ofllcial communication , asserts that there is a direct connection between the time of the emperor's presence In England and the renewal of the International treaties. "Tho extension of the driobund , " sajs that article , "which has just become known , will bo everywhere regarded as the finest mft with which the emperor could rejoice the hearts of the people of Great Britain Today more than over will the mutual tokens of regard exchanged by the two kindred nations bo drawn from the conviction that both have boon culled to work together , without having any catis > o fnr fear that tholr peaceful com petition will bo disturbed by conflicting In terests. The Yossischo Xcltung ridicules the notion that the prolonged negotiations between Lord Salisbury , Slgnor Kudlnl the Italian premier , Sir Edward Mulet , the British am bassador to Germany , and Chancellor Yon Caprlvi , followed bv the ostentatious splen dor of the reception accorded Emperor Will iam , means nothing much practically. "If , " says the Vosslcho Xeitung , "the entente only Includes the co-operation of an English squadron , protecting tlio Italian coast against the French , that ono would secure to Ger many nn auxiliary army , an English fleet in tbo "North soU'lmrt the -Baltic and would jleavo the Gorman army free for the protec- 'tion of thoFronch _ and Russian frontiers. " " 'iTbo , assurances given by the London police of Iho sa'foty of the emperor do not satisfy the authorities here , and it is suld that the reports of the Berlin police agents who have been in England for some time cause distrust regarding the precautions taken by the Lon don authorities. A group of German artisans on Tuesday applied { directly to Count Von Hulzfeldt , the German ambassador to England , for permis sion to present nn address to tha emperor. The names and addresses of the petitioners , as given at the embassy , were closely scrut inized and it xvr.s found that most of the applicants were good , loyal men. Some of the names proved to bo fictitious r.nd were , It is supposed , adopted by Gorman an archists. Count Yon Hnt/lelilt decided not to allow access to the emperor to nnvono who was not fully Identified and accepted. The emperor was informed of the request , and understanding that it was made bv Gorman worklngmon doslrous of expressing to him their gratltudo for tbo social reforms which bo has Instituted , wished to receive thutn. It is understood , however , that , the German ambassador prevailed upon his majesty not to do so by reminding him that nn attempt had .been made upon tbo life of his father during the hitter's sojourn in Lon don in 18T8. While the then crown prin co was receiving a deputation of loyal workmen at the Gorman embassy ho was menanccd by a number of conspirators , who wcro bnrelv foiled In their attempt to gain access to the embassy. The Berlin authorities are urging the Eng lish government to stretch the Enirlish law against preventive arrests , and before the emperor is exposed to the view of the myriads crowding the stmots to mnko a clean haul of all suspected persons , of whom a list has been furnished by the Berlin polica agents in Lon don. _ Demise of GliulHtono'R Son.
