timore to Cincinnati, on the Baltimore
and Ohio road.' *
The pins were pnlled out of a switch
at Rnley’s Siding, near the Outral sta
tion, When the train struck the switch
the express and baggage o;:rs were
thrown off, and the locomotive turned
bottom up over a twenty foot < mbank
inent. The two care were thrown
against a lunilier platform, .which pre
vented them from following the engine.
Two passenger coaches were thrown
>ff, bnt not badly smashed. Beyond a
few severe, but not dangerous, bruises,
uo one was hurt. The condition of the
track showed that before pulling the
switch-pins the wreckers . had tried to
pry up the rails. The road was torn up
considerably at the point where the
wreck occurred, and travel was delayed.

man he made a vow that until th>
Democratic party came into power he
would go unwashed and unshaven.
When Cleveland was elected he was re
minded of his vow, bnt refused to take
the necessary steps toward cleansing
himself. The neighbors once attempted
to wash him by force, but he got away
and threatened to kill anyone who tried
to clean him again. He was 80 years of
age. J

An hour and a half later a great noise
in the ship’s hold from the shifting of
iron bare together with the noise of the
surf and of a heavy rain squall aroused
Lieutenant Rooke, who says he left nis
cabin to inquire on deck what the
trouble was, and was about to assist in
lowering the boat when the vessel col
lapsed. He was washed ashore with
a mass of wreckage.
Captain Hamilton says that he was
aiding his wife to pass through the sky
light when he was washed away. He
was nncon8cions till he found himself
on the shore, and he supposed that he
had been stunned.
Lieutenant Rooke adds that he moved
about naked on the sand till daybreak,
when he saw seven Lascars in a cluster,
all badly injured, and near by was an
other injured Lascar who soon died.
He sent one Lascar northward, while he
himself went southward in search of a
house.
About 1 o’clock in the afternoon he'
met a fiscal guard who returned with
him to the scene of the wreck. The
lieutenant was afterwards left alone in
a niche in the cliff, while the guard
went to Oldios to inform his superiors.
The guard did not return till the fol
lowing day. In the meantime, Lieu
tenant Rooke, who had been strolling
about entirely naked, met Captain
Hamilton, who was in the greatest grist,
Lieutenant Rooke eventually left him,
going in another direction. Captain
Hamilton soon met somebody fsom
Peniche, who took him to the hospital.
The cart, drawn by oxen, appeared at
the scene of the wreck Saturday and
conveyed Lieutenant Rooke and the
other injured to Peniche, after two
days and nights spent in open air,
during which time bands of savages
pillaged the steamer’s cargo and carried
tons up the bills.
The foregoing particulars were ob
tained in a conversation that took place
between a correspondent and Lieuten
ant Rooke during the journey to the
scene of the wreck with a number of
government officials. Captain Hamilton
tried to accompany the party, but faint
ed and was left behind.

1st ordered him out oc the bnilding. He
answered that he had as good a right to
remain there as any member, and was
ready to defend it. Two men seized
him by the arms and half a dozen more
pushed and pulled until they got him
into the aisle. There the immorsionist
made a stand, braced himself and par
tially freed himself with a violent strng
gie, in which two members were thrown
down on their knees and three seats
were npset. The Spurgeonites shouted,
“Shame,” and one of them a middle
aged woman, caught an antagonist of
the immereionist by the arm and
screamed at him: “Are you a Christian'!'
Do yon know how dreadful it is foi
Christians to behave like this?"
During the last struggle the immer-
sionist lost his wind and he was unable
longer to obey the exhortations of his
friends that he should stick to his rights.
He was shoved down the aisle, thrust

Many women were sobbing bys

• Nsges Km Democrat, of Nabreakn to
Vote fur Wearer.
Omaha, Nov. 3.—Governor Beyd has
written a letter urging Democrats" to
vote for the People’s Party candidates
for electors. The letter, in part, is as
follows:
I have just returned from the east,
where I was honored by a consultation
with the national committee and the
leading men of onr party with regard to
the. best policy to be pursued in Ne
braska this fail in dealing with the elec
toral ticket.
“They agreed with me that the wisest
course would be for the Democrats to
support Weaver electors, the object be
ing to take Nebraska ont of her accus
tomed place in the republican column.
“I desire also to urge upon your at
tention the necessity of Democrats giv
Jog loyal support to the party nominees
for the legislature, particularly so when
there is a possibility of election. The
next legislature will choose a United
States senator and it is important that
Paddock’s successor be not a Republi
can and that Cleveland’s election during
the next four years shall not be ham
pered by a senate in opposition to him.
Efforts are making in other states to re
duce the Republican majority in the
senate and Nebraska has splendid op
portunity to do her share of the good
work. • '
SHOT IN MEXICO.
A Peculiar Story that Comes
Third Party Leaders.
Washington, November 2.—Editor
Dunning, of the People’s party nation
al organ here, has been talking about
the election in a way that leads to the
suspicion that a deal has been arranged
between Weaver’s managers and the
Republicana-
How much influence or information
Donning may have is hard to judge;
but from what he says it is only fair to
nferthatheat least thinks that, in
case neither Cleveland nor Harrison
bas 223 votes in the eleotoral college,
enough of the Weaver electors will vote
for Harrison to give him a majority and
thus prevent the election from being
thrown into the house of representa
tives where Cleveland would be sure to
be chosen.
It seems incredible that the Republi
cans and the People’s party leaders
could be so desperate or fatuous as
to enter into each a bargain with
any expectation of being able to
carry it ont; but no other in
ference than such a deal is contem
plated can be drawn from Editor Dun
ning's uttsrances. Dunning, in an in
terview, today, declared that the Third
party would j*et the electoral votes of
Nebraska, Kansas and the four silver
states. But notwithstanding this he
declared further that Harrison would
he choseu President beyond any doubt,
and that the election would not be per
mitted to go into the House of Repre
sentatives in the event. that both Har
rison and Cleveland did not have the
necessary 223 votes in the electoral col
lege to ohoose either of them This
means that enough of the Weaver elec
tors will yote for Harrison to make up
his shortage and elect him should he
fail to get 223 votes on popular ballot.
In this connection it is interesting to
recall the fact that onp of the electors
on the Kolb tioket in Alabama, when on
the witness stand the other day, de
clared under oath that if he was elected
he would vote for Harrison for Presi
dent.
Another thing whioh Dunning said
was that in the event the People’s party
held the balance of power in the next
House of Representatives, its members
would combine with the republicans
and organize the House. This has lead
to the surmise that the deal extends to
congressmen, and that in exchange for
populist votes for Harrison in the elec
toral college, the republicans will allow
the People’s party men in the house to
dictate the organization of that body in
the fifty-third congress, should the
populists hare enough members to hold
the balance of power.

MR. QUAY'S STATEMENT.
B* Thinks Harrison's Election Is Assured
Even Without New York.
New York, Nov. 2.—A statement has
been given ont from the Republican
headquarters purporting to he the con
elusions arrived at by Senator Mat Quay
after a careful canvass of the situation
in the presidential contest. He says
“Coming here on the suggestions of
some of tne gentlemen engaged in the
management of the Republican cam
paign who thought my expefienoe in
1888 might be useful in the solution of
two or three pending problems, I have
gone very carefully through the details
of their labors np to the present time,
and have canvassed with them their
propositions for the future. Their ad
ministration has been faultless. Tfieir
correspondence satisfies me that the sen
timent of the country is favorable to the
continuance of Republican rule. Har
rison will be elected. It is my belief
that he will carry the states of New
York, Indiana and Connecticut. Exist
ing conditions are such that the electo
ral vote of New York will elect himt
without Indiana and Connecticut In'
dianaaud Connecticut will elect him
without New York."
Chicago, Nov. 3.—It is reported that
large white steamer has foundered
near Maritou Island at the head of lake
Michigan, and the missing vessel is be
lieved to_.be the W. H. Gilcher, a sister
boat to the Western reservo. She passed
the straits the afternoon of the big
storm, bound for Milwaukee. Reports
from Milwaukee do not say she arrived
there. Some weeks ago the Western
Reserve, which, except the Gilcher, was
the largest boat in the grain trade on
the lakes, went down in lake Superior
with all hands, the force of the waves
having broken her in two.
The Gilcher had a crew of about
twenty-five men, and it is feared she has
met the fate of her sister ship. If the
Gilcher has really gone down, she must
have met her fate either Friday or Sat
urday last, as gales were very heavy at
that time.
Near the place where the wreckage,
supposed to be from the Gilcher, was
discovered, a big schooner was found
bottom np, bnt wliat it was no one
knows.
Captains passing along the route lead
ing by Manitou say they have seen great
quantities of wreckage that conld only
nave come from a large vessel, or several
vessels. The vessel men who knew the
Gilcher, and who saw the wreckage, are
inclined to think it belonged to her.
“When off South Maniton, on our
way to Chicago,” said Captain George
Dennis of the Shaw, “we passed through
a large quantity of wreckage. Doors
stools, windows, Sashes and a part of
the steamer’s bridge, with the bell still
npon it, were floating in the lake. The
stanchions to the bridge, which were
painted white, were of striped oak. The
bridge was abont five feet wide, fore
and aft, bnt I don’t know how long it
was. The doors had a sash in the top
panels. The glass of coarse was broken
ont. We could see nothing which would
give any indication of the name of the
unfortunate craft.
There Is not a particle of doubt that
the wreckage was from some steamer
which had foundered not far from there.
Captain Dennis also reported that
medium sized schooner, with its bilge
and a part of its bottom showing, was
on the beach of the island. Tt had
cargo of hemlock - lumber. The bottom
had been newly calked. I did not learn
the nama of the schooner.
The finding of the wreckage bv Shaw
leaves no doubt that the wreckage is
from some boat which went to the bot
tom.

For $1.76.
I have used the Cuticura Rbmisizs for scalp
diseases. My hair was falling badly, my foretop
becoming crusty or scaly, and itched so badly that I
could not keep my hands off my bead. If I combed
off those scales, a sticky or gummy substance
would ooze out of the skin and form another
crust. After trying two or three remedies, I sent
to you for your book; and after reading tt, I need
one box of Cuticura, one cake of Cuticura Soap.

which cured me. I feel grateful to you'for tbs

SWEET SADIE.
The Sister of William J. Scanlan, the
IComedian, is Dead.
New York, Nov. 3.—Sadie Scanlan, a
well-known soubrette, sister of Wm. J.
Scanlan, the popular Irish comedian,
now an inmate of Bloomingdale asylnm,
died suddenly at her home, No. 322 East
123d street.
Miss Scanlan, or as she was known in
private life, Mrs. George Brennan, had
been confined to her bed with a severe
cold since last Thursday. Her husband,
who is an actor in her company, left her
bedside at 6:30 o’clock, stepping into an
adjoining room, where he had been bnt
a moment when he was surprised to hear
his wife singing softly to herself. He
listened and caught the familiar hymn
of “Nearer My God to Thee.” The
actress sang it through unfalteringly to
the end, her voice softening and dying
away until at the last word its melody
gave place to a strange rattle. Mr.
Brennan hurried to her side. His wife
was dead.
Sadie Scanlan was horn at Hartford
Conn., in 1867, and was one of four
children, none of whom survive bnt the
demented comedian. She was educated
at Chicago and studied music under
Professor Franchelli, formerly music
director at the Casino.
Miss Scanlan was a little above me
dium height, with a very graceful fig
ure. She was not unlike ljer brother in
features, bnt her hair was golden and
womlh tight coils around a well shaped
head. Her devotion to her brother was
touching, and the morning after her
successful appearance at the People’s
Theater she hurried to Bloomington to
tell the story of her triumph to the
stricken comedian, who was still able to
rejoice with her.
Miss Scanlan, or Mrs. Brennan, leaves
one child, a 4-year-old boy.
She was a great favorite with south
ern theater geers, and had just return
ed from a very successful tour through
the southern states.
