BURNED TO CINDERS.
A Train’s Awful Plunge Through a
Bridge.
Six Persons Lose Their Lives end
Otheis Injured.
The south-bouu 1 accommodation train on
the Indianapolis and Chicago Air Line met
with a terrible accident at Broad Ripple,
seven miles from Indianapolis, Ind. At that
point the railway crosses the White i
river on a truss bridge ot two spans, |
each 150 feet in length. The engineer
had gone to the baggage-car for a
drink of water and the locomotive was
in charge of the fireman. When the
engine had reached the center of the bridge
the fireman felt the structure sinking. He
had his hand on the throttle at the time aad
opened it, giving the locomotive all the avail
able steam. The engine sprang forward
with great force, breaking the couplings be
tween the tender and baggage car. It
kept the trass, but the baggage and
smoking cars and one passenger c ach
dropped through the bridge and were piled
up in one mass at the foot of the pier, the
smoking car being jartially telescoped by
the bag'-age car. The wreck war partially
submerged, but the portion above water im
med ate y took fire from the stives, 'lhe
freman looked back after he had crosjed the
bridge. The cars were on fire and smoke
was obscuring the scene. News of
the wreck reached Indianapolis short
ly after it had occurred and a
wrecking train with surgical and other as-
I sis ance was sent to Broa I Kipple. When it
ieache 1 the wreck the bridge and cars were
| yet burnin;. Thosa present wre so lac ring
in presence of mind as to ba unable to extin
guish the fames or relieve the sufferers.
The officials of the roa I worke 1 vigorously
and systematically, and in a short time ths
Hames wei e extinguished.
Then a search for bodies was begun. Six
persons had either been killed outright or
burned to death, their bodies being charred
almost beyond recognition and horriblv mu
tilated. The on y means of identification
was by incombustible trinkets known to be
the properly of the dead. The d a l com
prised the engineer, baggage-ma>ter. bridge
foreman, express messenger, a brakeman
and a jassenger. Ei;ht passen ;ers were in
jured, two or three with fatal effect.
THE WHEAT SUPPLY.
Estimate of the Amount of Wheat in
the Country.
The Cincinnati /Vice Current has made a
special examination of the wheat stocks in
the country and will publish the result to
morrow. The report will show the total sup
ply of wheat to bi 1i5,000,1100 bushels. To this
is added 35.0)0,000 bushels in flour in
the hands of dealers, making a total of 210,-
OCO.OJO bushels for the remaining half of the
crop year. The estimated requirements for
that time are, for domestic food, etc., 121,-
00 ,000 bushels; for export, including flour,
57,1X10,000 bushels, leav.ng a surplus of 52,-
000.000 bushels. This is calcu ated upon the
basis of exports of 120,000,003 bushels this
year against 148,000,000 bushels last year.

Fox Worship.
Among the Japanese, it is said, is a
mythical person called Uza. Uzu was
deified, and honors supposed due him are
daily offered to his accredited servants,
the foxes. This adoration is accorded in
the belief that Uza (sometimes called
Inari) discovered and cultivated the rice
plant, and all through Japan may be
seen shrines or temples for fox worship.
It is one of the prevailing superstitions,
and the priests of fox tempi s bring of
ferings every morning to the two foxes
or badgers dwelling securely underneath
the small building.
At the shrines are two gilded foxes.
Before them is placed a tray, upon which
are small bowls of rice, and foxes molded
in sugar, all supposed to be most grate
fully received.
Striped velvets will be fashionable
