the Intercourse and prescribed the uesocia

JpluiKls. The. predominance of American In
ttrcsU In that neighboring territory wa
llrst asserted In H''O by sending to th

DETROIT , June 17. The convention of the
International Pressmen's union got Into a
tangle today over a question as to whether
amendments to the constitution which hail
been adopted n year ago and printed In pam
phlet forri were actualy a part of the con
stitution. The question arcse during I
making ot nominations of officers and the
main point at Issue was whether the mem
hers of the feeders' and helpers' branch o
the union could bo nominated as vice presi
dents. The cenventlon finally voted to work
under the orlg'nal constitution except in cv
whare It conflicted with subsequent amend
ments and the feeders and helpers were
given recognition and the candidates
The nominees who will he voted on tomor
row are as follows : For president , Jesst
Johnson Nashville , and Joseph J. Binning

The mcst of ths afternoon session wan
taken up with propositions to amend and
rovlsa the constitution. A lively debate
arose on an amendment to allow the larger
unions to charge tbe difference between
their Initiation fees and those of the smaller
unions when members ot the latter seek
to deposit their cards in the former. It was
finally tabled. 'Another spirited discussion
came upon a protest from New York Help
crs' union , No , 23 , against the action of
union No. 51 In refusing to allow helpers
and feeders to work on presses. The pro
test was laid on the table Indefinitely.
A resolution was adopted favoring the re
peal of the civil service law so far as it ap
plies to mechanical trades In the depart
ments at Washington , and censuring the
Washington union for favoring an extension
of that law ; also a resolution calling upon
congress to put a specific duty on Imported
English printed materials , inanniuch , under
ad valorem duty , such matter had , been fre
quently undervalued by appraise . A ban

CHICAGO , June 17. A northbound Klnzle
street suburban train on the Chicago , Mil-
vaukce & St. Paul road ran Into the Chicago
river tonight at Klnzle street. Six men
were hurt , hut It Is not expected that any
ot them will die. Following Is a list of the
njured :
DLMER GOSIIERN , brakeman ; hurt about
side nnd arms.
FRANK G. CLEVELAND , engineer ; hole
torn In right leg.
WILLIAM E. STEVENS , foreman ; hurt In
rtldo nnd anr. i.
GEORGE CPCHURCH , passenger ; bruised
In side.
J. M. MERKLY ; bruised about chest.
UNKNOWN MAX , hurt in duet and
slightly Injure 1.
The train , which consisted of the engine
and two cars , the first being a , combination
smoking and baggage car and the second a
regular passenger coach , left the depot at
9:50 : and live minutes later the engine c/
first car were under the surface of the Cnl-
cage river.
The railroad erecees the river at Klnzle
street , which Is not over a quarter of a rail *
north of the depot , and the train wcii consequently
quently moving slow. But for this fact the
entire tialn must have gone Into the river
and the loss of life have been heavy , r.s the
passenger coach , which did not go in , con
tained about thirty passengers. The trains
always stop an instant before going upon
the bridge and tonight Engineer Cleveland
came to n stop about 200 feet south of the
bridge. The llghtu were all right , signaling
tfilat the draw was1 closed , and he started
up again. In a minute he saw through the
datknotxi the shapa of the bridge standing
open and made a desperate effort to stop the
train. It was too late , however , and the
engine plunged Into the open draw , drag
ging with It the first car.
The accident , according to James Harring
ton , the bridge tender , was due entirely
to the arrangement of the lights on the
bridge. A large hexagon light la used , one-
half the lights being red. one-half white.
Harrington said he had opened the bridge
for the passage of a tug with a mud scow
and was Just svslnglng the bridge shut when
the train came on. He claimed that the
engineer had caught an oblique glance at the
light Instead of a look full at its face and
eald that In either case the lights would ,
from the track on which the engine was com
ing , show white. He easily proved his case
by swinging the bridge Into the position
It occupied wh"n the train ran over the
edge , and the accident seems to have been
caused entirely by the llghis.
The tracks are not more than four feet
above- the surface of the water and ths fall
was not great. About flftesn people , Includ
ing the trainmen , were carried -Into the
water , but all were rc-scued without dim-
cully.

ST. LOUIS , June 16. E. P. Garner , car
accountant of the Wab-ash railroad , with of
fices In East 6t. Louis , brought to this city
today details of an attempt to wreck and
rob a Baltimore & Ohio southwestern pas -3n-
ger train on a culvert , between Odin and
Salem , 111. , about sixty-five miles east of St.
Louis. Mr. Garner Is a brother of A. C.
Garner , ex-city marshal of Salem , who was
Sheriff names' lieutenant In thwarting the
wreckers' plans. Mr. Garner said there were
three men Involved In Iho attempted wreck
ing and that two of them were caught , one
being fatally shot. The would-be robbers are
residents of Salem and were known about the
village as bad characters. Abe Tweed , the
robber who was shot , was out on parol from
the Chester , 111. , penitentiary. Thomas Schu-
macker , the other man captured , Is an ex-
convlct from the Indiana penitentiary on his
own confesslou.
These two men the one who escaped , and
a fourth , banded together not Icug ago to do
a general buainiss In the criminal line. They
were to deal in everything from petty lar
ceny to train robbery. After they had
planned to hold up the New York cxpreru
on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern the
men had a difference and the plans were
broken up.
One of them told Sheriff Barnes , upon the
sheriff's promise to protect him and not
divulge his name , of the plan to wreck and
loot the train , but said he did not know the
date and place selected. Ho promised to
find out and report these particulars , and he
kept his word. Returning to ha ! former pal *
he sal'l he was sorry he had left them , and
begged to be let in on the fat thins they
were about to pull off. Tin rogues retented ,
took back Into their fold the dczerter. and
then proceeded to lay bare the plut. The
night New York exprees , they said , was the
train likely to yield the best haul. ard tlie
Scbcnnafelt culvert , midway between Odin
and Salem , was picked out as the heft and
c.afest spot.
All day Wednesday the three men hauled
railroad ties to the trestle. About 4 o'clock
In the afternoon the man who peached
who by some pretext was excused
from the day's work , reported the situation
to Sheriff Barnes. The sheriff collected a
posse of six men and started from Salem
along the trick. About 10:30 : , when they
came near Schennafclt culvert , the three rob-
here could be seen , and almost In the center
of the trestle was a high pile of ties thrown
across the track. The wreckers were gath
ered together on one side of the embankment
In convenient position to Jump aboard the
cars as soon as the train came to a stand
still.
still.Sheriff
Sheriff Barnes and his paste got within
thirty yards of the wreckers before they
were discovered. When they saw they were
caught the wreckern ran down the side of
the embankment. The express train was
now due In about twenty minutes. Sending
back two of his men to ( lag the train , the
thcriff. Mr. Garner and two others went
after the fugitives.
"Halt ! " called out Mr. Barnes , and one ot
the wreckers , who turned o'lt to be Shu-
maker , surrendered. The other two con
tinued lo run and Garner fired. A man , who
proved to be Tweed , fell and Garner sent
two more bulletc after his fleeing partner.
Neither shot took effect and the man es
caped.
The prisoners were taken to the Salem jail
and locked up. Tweed eanaot live. They ad
mitted that they Intended to rob the train ,
but denied that they wished to derail ths
engine or to touch any of the money In the
express car. They eald they had designs
only on the occupants of the six or seven
sleeping cars , and placed the ties on tracks
only to force the engineer to come to a
stop. Then they were to board the fcleepers ,
lock the conductor anil porters In the toilet
rooms and hold up the passengers. It Is
eald that the train which left St. Louis
Wednesday evening carrie-J more than $100-
000 In the exprers car. The trainmen are
confident that , If the engine had run Into
the pile of ties , It. with several cars would
undoubtedly have been derailed and thrown
down the embankment , entailing a great loss
of life ,

MUNICH , June 17. Rer. Father Knelpp ,
known throughout the woTld for his water
(
cure , who has been suffering for sometime
past , died at Woerlsnoelen.
Father Sebastian Knelpp vr8 born In the _
Bavarian village ot Ott&bcurn about 75 yearn
ago. He was the son otawearer. . He Wio
educated at the Cathollc-hcepltal In Augutl-
bors , where he attracted , the attention of the
bishop of AugusthorR. who obtained per
mission to educate him to the priesthood.
When 16 years old he was attacked with
nervous prostration and returned to the hos
pital. Tnere in an old , book he- read an
article on the efficacy of c ld water as a cure
for disease , and began experimenting in hi *
own CESC , eventually effecting a cure.
When 25 years of age hejenteed : the prleotj j
hood and was sent-to the 'jSurcn of Ms native j
town , where he remained niiie years , and lu
addition to attending to hla priestly duties
practiced the water euro and met with con
siderable success. Some forty-two yeara ago
he was transferred from Ottobcurn to
Wocrlphoefcn , near Munich , where he con
tinued to heal the sick by cold water cures
and attracted much attention. In ISbD he
wrote a book de-telling his theory , and since
that time hla name and ructhode have become
familiar throughout the world. By permis
sion of his bishop he gave up hlo duties
at ) a prlcat , and , with the toeslslance of three
other priests , devoted all his time to heal
ing the sick. No charK a were made end
the voluntary contributions of those who'
had been benefited paid for the construction
of a sanitarium at Woerlfihofcn In 1S90 ,
capable of accommodating .bout COO children ,
In the following year a e f-ond and a third
building were erected , la ge enough to acid -
commodate 1,200 priests a id sillers for the
church. In 1S94 accommodations for ? .00
lepers and 1,000 general patients were added.
By this time the revenUcaLof the sanitarium
had so Increased that they enriched the
church and also greatly J benefited Woer s
hocfcn. The town was provided with electric
lights , a splendid syctcrU'of-watcr woks : and
many other modern Improrcratnta.
Father Knelpp has tre ted many distin
guished patients. Including the emperor of
Austria , Archduke Joscpli'of Austria. Arch
duke Augustln of Austr.f ! , several members
of the Rothschild family find the pope.
Last year It Is estimated about 30.000
people were treated by ITathcr Knelpp nnd
his assistants. ' ,

The preuent Spanish demand ot the truth
about Cuba , already met by a fearless state
ment that the ml.itary situation there la
hopelct.Is answered now by the first
dbiinitc admission ot cruelty. The Spanish
: olllcers' actbns are not so much deplored no
j their being discovered , while It Is their be
ing acknowledged that causes anguish.
Unless the p res attacks on America
moderate soon the United States cmbac > y
is likely to be stoned again. The Spar.kih
gcvernment. always careful to gushl against
euch a demonstration. Is more watchful than
ever. Minister Taylor Is In no preoent
danger , as the civil guard detail at the em
bassy hss been trebled. Mr. Taylor looks
for trouble over the case.
Senor Sllvcla. the leader of n considerable
section of the Spanish conservative party
hostile to Premier Ciuovas , who strongly
endorse : . ' the war policy In Cuba , has Just
paid : "If It Is true the Cuban war I ? one e.f
conquest In order to sur lue a people united
against Spain It constituted an insoluble
problem and the Island should have beta
given up a year ago. " Such a statement
would have ciuscd the speaker to be pub
licly stoned If made In the streets ot Madrid ,
but It was received with prolonged and
cnthus-ici'tlc cheering from a high class au
dience of coiiE'C-rvattves , packing a theater
from pit to rcof , end wcs warmly com
mended In the liberal and Independent
press , and only perfumtorlly criticised by
conservative orgjnrs.
TRUTH WILL OUT.
At last the truth about Cuba is coming to
the care of the people. When it comes In
all Its completeness the end of the Cuban
war will shortly follow. The liberal paper ,
El Glebe , criticises , wwler's tactics truth
fully and vigorously. It says ! "Weyler al
ready has had seventeen out of twenty-four
months in which he promised to finish the
war by the severe measures he learped to
use In the ten years' struggle. " Wcyler'n
Marlcl trocha Is called a "horrible burial
ditch for thousands , " Its military efficacy Is
declared to be such that It was tranquilly
crossed by Maceo , who only met Ills death
by falling into Glrujeda's hands. Weyler's
endeavor to surround Gomez Is characterized
as "a four months' flourish , during which the
rebels have never left a t-mall circle near the
Jucaro trocha , and the pacified provinces arc
admitted to be so only In name. "
Hegardlng the present plan to invade the
eastern part of Cuba El Glebe quotes from
the report of General Celano that during the
rainy wesson three battalions of SOO men
were reduced to 350 and 400 by yellow fever ,
cholcta and dysentery , adding : "Dally
marches , each costing 10 per. cent , the dis
abled requiring a further loss of eight
soldiers to each stretcher , are made In pur
suit of an Invisible enemy , never opan to
attack , on enemy that Is never surprised.
for the countiy watches for them ; an enemy
whose plan of campaign is to decimate the
trocps by the mortality In the marches and
camp < 3 and the rigor ot the climate. "
Weyler's campaign generally Is character
ized as an expenditure of many months and
immense resourc-s In trying to destroy what
In Cuba Is Indestructible. This remarkably
frank statement of the truth Is generally ac
cepted and commended. Indeed , everybody
here knows and almciU every one admits
that Spain is fighting a united people and
is unable to conquer tbe Cubans , and that
Spain must either negotiate for peace or con
tinue the expenditure of millions of money
and a tremendous mortality through another
rainy season. Public opinion here Is decid
edly not to allow the latter.
As Spain cannot treat directly with the
rebels on a basis of autonomy , she can only
oMaiu peace through the good olflces of
the United States government. The Ameri
can people undoubtedly have the power to
force the Cubans to accept guaranteed au
tonomy under the Spanish flag by wlthhold-
holdlng money and sincerely aiding the gov
ernment In an actual blockade against fili
busters. SYLVESTER 'SCOVEL.

liortn .Miulc to Auditor. ,
The opening session of the ninth day of
the Hartley trial was marked by the Intro
duction In evidence hy the defence of the
$164,000 of county bonds which It allege *
were bought hy Hartley with hla own money ,
and also the Introduction of chocks which
were drawn In payment for n port u of
these lictnls. Ono of three chocks was for
$50,000 and the contention of the defence I *
that it represents tlwit much of the $180-
101.75 realized from the sale of the warrant ,
the claim being that It shov\u that Hartley
used that much of this money to buy bonds
for the elate.
The record of the Hoard of Educational
Lands and Funds , which was Introduced lu
evidence , chows that May 13 , 1S90 , over a
year after the warrant In controversy was
sold. Hartley wen ordered to Invest a part
of the permanent school fund In the bonds of
Otoe and Sauiulers counties. The contention
of the defense is that Hartley U8cd his per
sonal funds in the purchase of these bonds ,
but the reports made hy Hartley to the state
auditor chow that the b.tlancb lu the perma
nent school fund , for the month whoa this
pure-hate was made , was reduced In an
amount corresponding to the amount paid
for the bonds. What was done with this
portion of the permanent school funds had
not yet developed. The questions propounded
to witnesses hy the defense Indicate that
the claim is that the money of the school
fund was not used at nil and that the re
ports made to the auditor were not correct.
The defense meets the charge of falsifying
reports by eaylng that the monthly reporta
to the auditor are not required by law and
that the treasurer is rot hound by them.
Th feature of the afternoon serulon of the
court \\-iu the examination of N. S. Har-
wood , president of the First National bank
of Lincoln , and one of Hartley's bondsmen.
His testimony disclosed a few of the Intri
cacies of banking In the capital city when
It is desired to avoid the provisions of the
state depository law. It wan shown that
the First National bank of Lincoln Issued
"special" certificates of deposit to Hartley ,
of which no ' recordwiskcpt ( _ _ In the bank , and
the cqrllflc'atts theavsehcs werd carefully
burned after being paid. Instead of keeping
them among the lilts of the bank , aa vro *
dcno with all other certificates.
BOND PURCHASE APPROVED.
When court opened yesterday the de
fense offered In evidence the record of the
proceedings of the Hoard of Educational
Lands and Funds , showing that on May 13 ,
1S3G , Hartley was ordered to purchase 185,000
of Otcc county bonds , ihc contention being
that this purchase accounts for that much
of the lflSO.101.75.
The state objected to the admission of
this record for the reason that the record
showed that the funili which were referred
to in the record were tbe permanent sctiool
fund and not any part of the proceeds of
the warrant.
Judge Haker taid he wanted to make a
broad rule , and If the defense could show
that Hartley bad swelled the ixhool fund
from his own funds he would allow that to
bo done. He held that this would have to
be done before tbo record would be ad
missible. The court s.ild that otherwise
any record showing that the board had au
thorized the investment of the permanent
school fund might be introduced , whereas
there appeared to be no connection with the
money In dispute.
Attorney General Smyth protested agalnat
the court .proceeding on the theory of the
"bald absurdity" advanced hy the defense ,
Ho demanded Information as to whut had
been done with the $ S5COO of the permanent
echool fund If the Hartley money had been ,
used to buy the bonds. He dubbed the
whole proceeding as "buncombe" and In-
Bitted that all such Irrelevant matter bo ex
cluded.
Judge Holier said he was satisfied that
technically the proceeding was wrong , but If
the defense showed that Hartley had pur
chased $85,000 of Otoc county bonds with his
own money and had presented them to the
Btate , the defense could go ahead and do It ,
but If the record was Introduced the defense
would be bound by what It showed.
The state withdrew Its objections In order
to save time , and the record was admitted ,
and read to the Jury by Mr. Whcdon. The
record showed that the board approved the
purchase of the bonds on June 'J. 1800.
Mr. Whedon also offered In evidence that
portion of the record showing that January 4 ,
1807 , the boon ! authorized the treasurer to
purchase $100.000 of SaunderH county bonds
with money In the permanent school fund.
Treasurer Meserve was called and produced
the $85,000 of Otoc county bonds
anil the 1100,000 of Sounders county
bonds , which he eald had been turned over
to him by Deputy Treasurer Hrtlett when
the ofllrc was turned over to the v , Itncss.
HOUOHT WITH PUHLIC MONEY.
The treasurer Identified the bonds and on
cross-examination , the attorney general
called the attention of the witness to the
words placed on the face of the Otoo county
bonds with a rubber stamp : "These bonds
belong to the permanent tschnnl fund of Iho
state of Nebraska and arc not negotiable. "
The witness said these words were htampcd
on the bonds before they were delivered to
htm.
htm.The Otoe county bonds were offered In evi
dence , but wr-ro not read , the state admit
ting that the bonds were what they purported
to bo.
The Baundrrs county bonds were then of
fered In evidence and the stamp on the face ,
being the same as In tin ; cane of the Qtoa
county bonds , was stated by the wltnetH to
have been on the bonds when ho received
them. No objection was raited to the ad
mission of llioto bonds In evidence.
Ex-Deputy Treasurer Hartlett was then
called by the defense , The witness wan
shown a draft upon Hartley as state treas
urer for the payment of the Qtoo county
bonds and a heated argument ensued over the
admUslblllty of this paper , the state con
