NAI-I.IS : , July ST. A most extraordinary
case , involving the walling up of u number
of nuns , has just been definitely decided by
the civil authorities of Naples. Consider
able excitement , It will bo remembered , was
caused aomu time ago bv the announcement
that the uathnritles of Naples had discovered
u number of nuns , immured in a convent ,
where tnoy were coiidemded to Ufa-long im
prisonment , the building being literally
walled up In order to insure abso
lute seclusion from the outside world. The
convent , thoi-oforo , was designated as "sep-
alolo vivo , " or burled nllvo. The authorities
reported that the unfortunate inmates were
in u condition bordering on destitution which
was'lnjurlous to both body nnd mind. The
clerical newspapers , however , Insisted that
these reports were grossly oxngucrated , but
the authorities considered themselves Justillod
in compelling the nmu to quit their living
'ravu.i and go to more suitable habitations.
I'lic pope , nUo. eventually commanded ilm
nuns to leave their prison , ana a bhort tlmo
ago they were removed to one of the ordinary
-oiu'euts of Nuplc. " , and the place win
mmled over to the municipally. Thas far
the above facts have been unown for seine
time , but quite recently a Ulritto reporter
visited tlio "llvliu tomb" just vacated bv

ovvlng account of what ho saw :
llo describes tUo building as "consisting of
Mo stories ana a corridor , on which ttioro
ire seven colls. The nuns used to remain in
.he o cells for the whole day. every day in
the week , lu ailcut prayer. The erouud story
was unoccupied. The nuns lived In tbo upper
story. There were thirteen of them , incliid-
Inif seven lay sisters. Tholr dresses worn

rvns black. Those who were not lay sisters
were a species of mantle ntul girdlo. They

ring u bell , when ono of the sister * came
from nn adjoining convent and communica
tion was held with her throuirh n small win

CmcAfio , July 27. Prof. Mark \V. \ Har
rington , tun now chtof of the United Stntos
weather bureau , made nn imoortant an
nouncement whllo hero today on his llrst
tour of inspection. "Ono of the changes
made In the bureau , " he snld , "Is the en
largement of tno loc il vnluo of weather predictions -
dictions by the appointment of twenty local
forecasters. The list of places whnra these
appointments will ho made has not as yet
been entirely completed.
Heretofore the general forecasts trom Wash
ington have , been practically the only ones.
These nro vnliiablo to the commercial inter
est of the whole country , hut not so much to
the public locally or the agricultural intci-
osts. It Is the purpose of the bureau to make
itself of much greater vnluo to the latter than
over before. Generally speaking , the offices
will bo thickly scattered along the northern
boundary , whore changes nro most frequent.
The Canada observatories , , while excellent
and operated on much the snmo plan as our
own , iiro not numerous and -their local forecasts -
casts are not minute. "

"Tho decision of the United Status court
Is of the most Importanso to this road , " said
General Manager St. John of the Hack
Island , rcferrlui ; to the action of the federal
court In the Omaha brlilgo case this morning.
"Whllo we confidently expected the court
would upheld our position In most of thu
points , it Is gratifying to learn that every
point has been decided in our favor. Wo
have been delayed In the operation of this
now line some six months on account of this
suit , but I apprehend no further delay from
this same cause. "
For particulars regarding the suit Mr. St.
John referred to the general counsel of the
road , Mr. Wright , who said : "Thoro nro
many reasons why this decision is of tlio
greatest Importance to the Kock Island. In
the llrst place it lets us Into Omaha. It gives
us the use of our trucks between Omaha and
Lincoln. Then It allows us to use the tracks
of the Union Pacific between Lincoln and
Beatrice. Finally wo have by these
privileges the shortest line from
Chicago to Colorado Springs and a direct
line to Denver as short us any road leaving
this city for the west. When we started to
construct this new line wo tried to arrange
with the Union PacilU for the use of its
bridge over the Missouri river but could
make no contract. Wo began tosurvoy fora
bridge cf our own. Then the Union Pacific
said It would make < i contract with us
whereby wo could use its bridge , allow thorn
to use our tracks from Omaha to Lincoln and
wo would use their tracks from Lincoln to
Beatrice ,
"Then Jay Gould got hold of the road and
claimed that the directors bad no right to
make such an nRreemont and thereby came
the suit. The case will probably bo appealed
but In the meantime we will in nil probabil
ity have the use of the lino. "
TICKET hCAI.I'BIW' TIlt'hT
Now it is ik ticket , scalpers' trust. For sonic
time the older ticket scalpers , who stand in
with the railroads , have realized Unit before
the Western Passenger association difficul
ties are settled the scalpers will havn n
chance to reap a harvest. The compact was
ratified nt u meeting nt the Slierman house.
On July ; tl nil lines will begin sell
ing tickets from St. Louis to Chicairc
and return for $5. The lowest , one way
faro Is $5.75. The Chicago scalpers will get
all the return coupons , Chicago to St. Louis ,
that they can use for $2.50 each , and they
nuvo formed an agreement to go into volun
tary bankruptcy before they will sell n
tieKot to St. Louis for less than * 5. This will
save passengers 75 cents and innko $2.fiO for
the scalpers. As a whole , Chicago scalpers
can sell about ono hundred tickets to St.
Louis each day. and this num
ber will rise out of sight during
periods of cheap fares for any sudden
rusU of people between the two cities. One
of the leading brokers was asked :
"What will you do when the railroads size
up the trust and shut down on scalpel-si"
"Don't you believe it The railroads have
never wanted scalping broken up or it would
have pone long ago. "
Rates on scalp tickets to every point for
which Chicago scalpers can procure tickets
are to bo fixed by a special committee. Cash
subsidies bro paid to some of tbo smaller
scalpers to maintain trust prices , and in cnso
any member of the combine breaks over the
fence the entire power of the wostein rail
roads doing business through the scalpers
will bo added to the influence of the trust to
drive the offender out of business.

r.\iiii ( , July ' . ' 7. It is low reported that
200 people were killed and six Injured as the
result of the St. Maude collision yesterday.
Many of iho unfortunate people Imprisoned
beneath the wreck were drowned b.v the fire
men , who poured torrents of w.iter upon the
wreck and seemed to bo utterly unaware
that they worodrowmngthc people that they
were attempting to rescue.
Today the town hall ut St. Mamie- presents -
sonts n fearful spectacle. Tlio blackened
bodies of the dead lie In rows on the door nnd
tables. In some cases the remains are little
more ttmn a heap ot cinders Intermixed with
n portion of limbs. One pile of charred
limbs and human clnde-s Is especially con-
sblcious , consisting of a mass ot unidentified
and unconnected bodies placed in a heap.
The majority ol the victims were women
and children. The wrecked curi-laires con
sisted of ono first , class , two second class and
a guard's van. The first wn.i completely
shattered. The work of rescue proceeded
slowly during the night until dawn. I'coplo
then began to Hock to the scene , m my sockIng -
Ing friends who had not , returned from the
fete by daybreak. There were-J vuto persons
nrqiuul the station , and the school room and
town hall whcrii the lie < iios of the de.ui were
lying were besieged bv distracted people.
Inside there was n constant siu-cessiou of
heart-rending screams ns in the dim light
afforded by the lamps Identification of the
charred and maimled bodies proceeded. A
man searching for missing relatives suddenly
came upon the bodies of his wife and daugh
ter. His cries attracted his brother-in-law ,
who in turn rccoenl/ad a grandchild Iving
dead und learned that his wife ami mother
were in n hospital dying. Most of the
bodies in the to\vn hall were scorched
beyond recognition. Among the in
jured sent to u hospital u number died
immediately after admission and many are
expected to succumb. Tlio oirliest workers
to go to the rescue were tno lire nrlgado of
Vinccnnes and the soldiers In thu.biirr.iok *
in the vicinity.
An Investigation shows the second train
left Vlnccnues at the regulation interval of
fifteen minutes after the Hist tr.iin. The
first train was delayed at St. Mando owing
to an enormous crowd ot excursion
ists. The stationmaster at Vinconnos
blames the driver of tho.soco id train for the
accident. When this train was starting the
stutionmustor advised the driver to go
slowly , as there was a train in front of him.
but the man paid no hood to the advice anil
went ahead at full speed. This driver nt
first alleged that all signals indicated the
line was clear , but an inquiry confirmed tlio
report ot olllcials ut St. Mand'n und Vlnccnnoa
Unit danger signals were shown.
Loading olllcials of the railwav blames the
imhlio forciow > ling into the rear van , which
lie says was Intended to remain empty. The
greatest , number of dead wcio found beneath
tcio ruins of the van. From the force of the
ollision the engine mounted to tlio top of the
i-oiir van crushing it to fragments. An offi
cial statement , gives the number of dead at
forty-tour , und.tho injured nt 101.
Lo I'nrls states that nn investigation into
; he St. Manclo incident discloses the fact that
ilio disaster was caused by an unknown mls-
.Tennt who deliberately altered the signals
so ns to bring tlio trains into collision. IIo
iVill bo lynched if caught.
Among the victims nro the Marquis and
Marquise Mintorforuto.
An artillery nontenant climbed to the top
) f the burning carriage to rescue n girl , but
'ell with her Into tlio burning muss nnd
leithor was seen again.
It is reported that warrants have been
ssued for the arrest of the driver of tlio sec-
Mid truln und tlio tr.iflle manager nt the

0 Germany becomes known. That gentleman ,
vlio ostensibly loft on his vacation , h is , it is
lalincd , been In constant communication
vith thu German olllcials relative to tlio rais-

Uthough the Information cannot bo consld-
red ofllclnl unless coming direct from Mr.
trmour , still It comes through a man who is
lese to him. In his negotiations with the

"Mr. Armour asserts that the money for
