AS A RESULT A DISASTROUS COL-
LISION TOOK PLACE.
MANY PASSENGERS WERE KILLED.
Death List May Keach Fifteen—Boilers of
Three Engines Burst ani Wreck
Takes Fire,
One of the worst wrecks in the his¬
tory of the Santa Fe railroad occurred
three miles east of Emporia, Ilan., at
•bout 8:30 o’clock Wednesday night.
Twelve or fifteen persons were kill¬
ed and as many more badly hurt.
The fast mail train going east and
the Mexico and California express
bound west collided head-on. The
Mexico and California express was
pulled by two locomotives, and when
they struck the engine drawing the
fast mail, the boilers of all three en¬
gines exploded and tore a hole in the
ground so deep that the smoking car
of the westbound train ran on top of
the three engines and two mail cars
and balanced there without turning
over. '
The passengers in the smoking car
escaped through the windows. The
front end of this car was enveloped in
a volume of stifling smoke and steam,
belching up from the wreck below, and
the rear door was jammed tight in the
wreck of the car behind.
The wreck caught fire from the en¬
gines. The cars in the hole and the
smoker burned to ashes in a short
time.
In climbing out of the smoking car
several men fell through the rifts into
the wreck below, and it is impossible
to tell whether they escaped or were
burned to death. The westbound
train carried seven or eight coaches,
and its passengers included many ex¬
cursionists, who had been to hear
Hon. W. J. Bryan speak at the county
fair at Burlington.
Mr. Bryan himself was on the train,
and helped to carry out the dead and
wounded and gave the greatest atten¬
tion to their care.
• The engineer of the westbound train
had received orders to meet the fast
mail at Emporia, and was making up
lost time. These two are the fastest
trains in the Santa Fe system and the
■westbound train must have been run¬
ning at a speed of at least forty miles
an hour. The westbound express was
going around a slight curve and met
the fqst mail probably within 200
feet. Of the seven or eight cars
making up the Mexico and California
express only the mail, baggage, ex¬
press and smoking cars were destroy¬
ed. The coach following the smoker
was badly splintered.
There were not more than a dozen
passengers on the fast mail, all in on
coach, and while none of them are
seriously injured, their shaking up was
terrible. Every seat in the coach was
torn from the floor and many floor
planks came up with the seats.
It is stated that the wreck was caus¬
ed by a miscarriage of orders from the
trainmaster.
At Emporia the eastbound fast mail
tram received orders to pass the Cali¬
fornia express at Land, seven miles
east.
Another order was sent to Land for
the California express to take the
siding there, but this order was not
delivered, and the westbound train
passed on, the trainmen expecting to
pass the fast mail at Emporia.
HANNA’S MONETARY COMMISSION.
Nine Out of Eleven Members Accept Ap¬
pointment.
H. II. Hanna, chairman of the ex¬
ecutive committee of the monetary
convention that met in Indianapolis
last January, announced Wednesday
afternoon that nine of the eleven mem¬
bers of the monetary commission that
were to he chosen have accepted and
authorized the publication of their
names.
The following are the names of those
who have accepted: George F. Ed¬
munds, Vermont; Charles S. Fair-
child, New York; 8. Fish, New York;
Stewart Patterson, Pennsylvania; T.
G. Bush, Alabama; J. W. Fries, North
Carolina; W. B. Dean, Minnesota;
George E. Leighton, Missouri; Bobert
S. Taylor, Indiana.
MANY TOWNS QUARANTINE.
They Arc Afraid of Contact With Passen-
gers From Louisiana.
Advices of Saturday state that the
towns on every trunk line opening
Into New Orleans have declared quar¬
antine against Louisiana. Burgs in
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Al¬
abama have declared that no people
shall get oft' trains at their stations
■who come from the Crescent City.
Other towns, however, have refused
to join in the panic and say that until
yellow fever is known absolutely to
exist in New Orleans they do not pro¬
pose to shut themselves in. Some of
the cities have adopted more severe
measures and have surrounded them¬
selves with shotgun guards.
GAGE WORKING ON REPORT.
Bureau Chiefs Are liequested to Make
Their Statements Earlier.
A Washington dispatch says: Secre¬
tary Gage is at work on his annual
report. He had instructed the bureau
chiefs to make their indvidual reports
& month or six weeks earlier than has
been customary in the past. That of
Comptroller Tracewell, which was the
first to be submitted, was laid before
the secretary Wednesday.
SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
Industries Established in the South Da¬
ring: the Past Week.
Though the fall season has not fairly
opened yet, southern correspondents
report a large increase in trade. The
demand for all manufactured products
is active, and the mills that closed
down during the dull season to cur¬
tail production have nearly all resumed
operations.
The iron market is strong and sales
are increasing with advancing prices.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail¬
road Company have advanced schedule
prices on pig iron 25 cents per ton and
report a $50,000 sale of pig iron.
Southern iron is in active demand and
the outlook is very encouraging.
The lumber and textile industries
show u corresponding increase in bus¬
iness, and some cotton mill companies,
though running day and night, are
still behind with orders.
Among the new industries reported
for the week are the following: An
electric light plant at Terrell, Tex.;
flouring mills at Concord, X. C., and
New Market, Va.; the American Min¬
ing and Exploration company, capital
$200,000, at New Orleans, La.; the
Mott Petroleum company, capital $150,-
000, Charleston, W. Va.; the South¬
western Production company, capital
830,000, Parkersburg, W. Va., to de¬
velop oil and gas property, and a
knitting mill at Bronwood, Ga. Wood¬
working plants will he established at
Crestview, Fla.; Louisville and Union -

GENERAL AVERY DEAD.
Ho Was Prominent In Georgia Afifaiin
For Thirty Years.
General Isaac W. Avery, a promi¬
nent Georgian, died Wednesday after¬
noon at his home in Edgewood, a sub¬
urb of Atlanta, from the effects of a
fall which he sustained the night be¬
fore.
Isaac Wheeler Avery was born at
St. Augustine, Fla., May 2, 1837. His
father traced his lineage to the English
kings.
In 1861 he aided in the capture of
Fort Pulaski, and volunteered as a
private in the first company of the war
in the Eighth Georgia regiment, and
served to the end of the struggle.
He was in the Bull Run battle and
was successively promoted to the rank
of captain, major, lieutenant colonel
and colonel of cavalry in the west,
commanding a brigade the last he year.
Just before the surrender was
made brevet brigadier general, but in
the excitement and turmoil of the clos¬
ing days failed to receive his commis¬
sion. In the opinion of military men,
however, he was entitled to that rank,
and during the last years of his life he
was known as General Avery, although
with characteristic modesty he never
claimed the title.
THE LIST OF DEAD.
Frightful Record of the Head-End Col¬
lision on Santa Fe.
Twelve known dead, one missing
and probably incinerated and fourteen
injured, two of whom will likely die,
is the record of the terrible head-end
collision on the Santa Ee so far as
known.
The first lists were mixed because
of the confusion attending the wreck.
It is not positively known that the list,
given is complete, as it is believed
that several were burned to death and
and nothing left by which they could
be recognized.
The bodies of eleven were found in
the debris, three burned beyond recog¬
nition.
Nothing could be found of the re¬
mains of Wells-Fargo Express Messen¬
ger J. E. C. Sauer. A handfull of
charred bones taken from the wreck,
however, are supposed to be his. Near
them were found his watch.

YELLOW FEVER IN BILOXI.
Three Cases Develop In Another Gulf
Coast Town.
Mayor Harry Howard has issued a
proclamation to the people of Biloxi,
Miss., announcing three cases of yellow
fever and three suspects. He says
they are all isolated and no facts will
be withheld.
The residents of the North Back
bay have appealed to the mayor of Bi¬
loxi. asking that the quarantine be
raised so that they may get. supplies.
Biloxi people are impatient to have

AND THE BIG STRIKE TERMINATES
IN FOUR STATES.
OTHER SECTIONS NOT AFFECTED.
Workers Have the Advantage—The Shoot¬
ing of Miners at Hazolton, Pa.,
Denounced.
The great miners’ strike which was
declared on July 4th was brought to
an end Saturday evening so far at
least, as western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and West Virginia are con¬
cerned, by the action of the interstate
convention of miners, which was in
session at Columbus, O., for four
days.
After a day of voting and wrangling,
the convention adopted a resolution
accepting the proposition of the Pitts¬
burg operators. The vote was 495
for and 317 against accepting the
terms of settlement; 11 votes were not
cast. The delegates from Illinois,
who had 250 votes, were unanimously
against a settlement. Indiana and
West Virginia voted solidly to accept
the operators’ proposition, but there
were scattering votes among the Ohio
and Pittsburg delegates against it.
The proposition accepted provides
for 65 cents in the Pittsburg district,
all other places where a relative price
can be obtained to resume w^rk and
contribute liberally to the miners who
do not receive the advance, at which
places the fight is to continue to a bit¬
ter finish. While ten days is provided
for the miners to resume work, it is
probable many of the Ohio and Pitts¬
burg mines will be reopened at once.
Some of the Illinois delegates are
bitter in their denunciation of the ac¬
tion of the convention; they claim
their interests have not been given due
consideration.
A resolution was adopted denouncing
the action of the deputies in firing into
the crowd of striking miners at Hazel-
ton, Pa.
A SENSATIONAL CASE.
Georgia Farmer Re-establislics Slavery On
a Small Seale.
The investigated grand jury of Morgan county,
Ga., a case the past week
which promises to become of the most
sensational ever known in the state.
The full extent of the shocking
practices charged against one Henry
R. Dickerson, a farmer at Rutledge,
cannot yet be told; but if half are true,
as seem < certain, the eyes of a civilized
state will be opened wide in wonder
and horror.
Kickerson is accused of enslaving
tramps, making them, by force and
punishment, to work upon his farm;
maintaining a small convict camp in
which existed horrors far greater than
any yet reported from those that exist
under the guise of the law.
Rickerson has for some time, it is
shown, made a practice of decoying
tramps, white and black, and half¬
witted persons to his house, arresting
them and putting them to work on his
farm. They were locked up at night
and forced to work on Sundays as well
as on other days. Ho claimed to have
some authority from- the government
for so doing and succeeded in every instance he
is said to have with his vic¬
tims.
THIRTEEN UNLUCKY TRAMPS.
Seven Killed and Six Badly Hurt In a
Freight Wreck.
A special from Van Buren, Ark.,
says: disastrous
A most freight wreck oc¬
curred on the Iron Mountain road at
Hanson, I. T., a small town twenty
miles west of Van Buren, at 2 o’clock
Sunday, resulting in the death of
seven men and the serious injury of
six others, two of whom will die.
None of the trainmen were hurt.
The wrecked train was a local freight.
While the train was running twenty
miles an hour the forward trucks of
one of the cars near the engine broke,
wrecking fifteen cars. In the middle
of the train was a car loaded with
heavy machinery, and it was in this
that thirteen men were stealing a ride,
and from which seven dead and six
seriously wounded were taken by the
trainmen shortly afterwards.
YOUNG MEN DROWNED.
Tliey "Were Rocking a Boat and Caused
It to Capsize.
A Detroit special says: Six young
men were drowned from a yacht near
Wind Mill Point, in Lake St. Clair,
late Wednesday afternoon.
A party of ten chartered tho yacht
Blanche B. and went up the lake.
When near the mouth of Fox creek and
nearly off Wind Mill Point, three of
the party climbed out on the boom
and commenced to rock the craft,
which being heavily ballasted, lurched
over and capsized,going to the bottom.
Six men who were in the cockpit were
drowned.
The three youngsters who caused
the disaster and one other were saved.
AT SEVERAL POINTS,
Surgeon General Wyman Now Admits the
Existence of Yellow Fever.
Reports reaching the marine hos-
'pital service at Washington from offi¬
cials in Louisiana and Mississippi,
leave no further doubt as to the fact
that yellow fever exists at several
points. Surgeon General Wyman
stated this positively Friday, although
he feels the precautionary steps taken
are keeping the disease well within
bounds.
GEN. LONG STREET WEDS.
ftlits Ellen Dortch, Assistant State Libra¬
rian of Georgia, the Bride.
General James B. Longstreet and
Miss Ellen Dortch were united in
marriage in the executive mansion at
Atlanta Wednesday.
Governor Atkinson gave the bride
away and Rev. Father Shadewell, of
the Catholic church, performed the
ceremony.
Both families are Catholic, but be¬
cause Miss Dortch preferred to have
the marriage celebrated quietly at the
home of her best friends rather than
publicly at the church, Bishop Blecker
granted a dispensation to permit them
to he wedded at the mansion, a con¬
cession that is only granted to persons
of high degree.
There were no attendants and only
a select party of friends of the con¬
tracting parties were invited. The
wedding was free from all formality
other than the solemnizing of the holy
covenant.
After the wedding Governor and
Mrs. Atkinson tendered the newly
married pair an informal reception
and they received the good wishes
and congratulations of their friends.
The bridal couple left Atlanta at 4:30
for Porter Springs, where they will
spend their honeymoon. Afterwards
they will return to Gainesville, where
they will make their future home.
Miss Ellen Dorteli is assistant state
librarian, the first woman to hold an
official position under the state gov¬
ernment in Georgia, and has been an
applicant for the position of librarian.
General Longstreet is one of the
most famous commanders of the civil
war, and has been often honored by
high positions under the Federal gov¬
ernment since the close of the war.
His home is in Gainesville, and the
home of Miss Dortch was in Carnes-
ville, first, and afterwards in Milledge-
ville, where she codducted a daily
newspaper for several years.
Her father was a prominent news¬
paper man, but has been dead several
years, and she took his place and has
bravely held her own since his death.
She made a good fight for Governor
Atkinson during his first campaign
and was rewarded for the stand she
took with the position of assistant
state librarian, a position which she
showed herself eminently capacitated
to fill.
PERRY DIES ON GALLOWS.
The Slayer -j>£ Bely Lanier Hung at De¬
cat uv\ Ga.
H. S. Perry was hanged at Decatur,
Ga., Wednesday for the murder of Bely
Lanier. He met death with a certain
degree of fortitude, but not with the
callousness and indifference which he
had displayed during his confinement.
As he mounted the gallows on the arm
of Sheriff Austin his face was ashen.
While he stood on the death trap his
eyelids fluttered, his breath came in
short gasps and he swayed from side
to side. It was easy to see that the
terror of approaching death had seized
him. He professed a belief in the
forgiveness of his sins and expressed
many times over his readiness to die.
He died maintaining that he had
killed Lanier in defense of his wife’s
honor.
On the gallows Perry made the fol¬
lowing statement:
“Gentlemen and citizens of DeKalb coun¬
ty: lam hereto face death. I am glad to say
I am ready to go. I have made my peace
with God. I did my duty. I am dying for
protecting my dear wife. I may have bro¬
ken tile laws as they are in Georgia, but I
did my duty to protect my wife.
“I have prayed during tho last few days
for my sins to lie forgiven, and when I am
gone I hope you will pray for me and my
family.
“0, God, I hope today that my sins are
forgiven. It will soon lie all over and
finished and I will be no more. I’m going
home to my God."
The condemned man was then led
to the trap, where he was made to
stand directly under the noose. As he
moved his step was faltering and his
colorless face seemed to take on a more
death-like palor.
He said not a word while the sheriff
tied his hands and feet. As the noose
was being fitted about his neck Perry
closed his eyes and delivered a short
prayer in a broken voice.
When the trap door was sprung the
body gave a short rebound and then
swung motionless on the rope’s end.
The murderer’s neck was broken, and
after swinging for 14 minutes the
body was cut down by the sheriff' and
placed in the coffin, which lay under
the gallows ready to receive it.
TO FORM BEER TRUST.
American Malting Company Organized
With Capital of *30,000.000.
It is learned at Chicago that the men
who are the principal promoters in the
big malting company which was form¬
ed in New York a few days ago are the
Milwaukee malters and brewers.
Instead of being a simple combina¬
tion of matters, it appears that the
brewers are also interested in the com¬
bination and that it is to be conducted
on such a gigantic scale that it will
virtually control the brewing business
of the country.
The American Malting company, as
the new combine will be known, will
have a capital of $30,000,000.

LU
OFFICIAL YELLOW FEYUR EXPERT
REMOVES ALL DOUBT.
SAYS THAT IT IS “YELLOW JACK.”
Autopsy on Body of Victim of Dread Dis¬
ease Proves Genuineness of Gases
at Ocean Springs.
A special from New Orleans says:
Up to Thursday night there had been
no change in the fever situation.
The news from the Mississippi
Sound was satisfactory and disap¬
pointing—satisfactory in that Dr.
Guiteras and the other government
experts had declared that yellow fever
existed at Ocean Springs and Biloxi,
confirming the judgment of Dr. Oli-
pliant and his associates, and disap¬
pointing because the fears of the pub¬
lic have been realized.
Of course the decision of Dr. Gnite-
ras has set at rest all -doubt that
yellew fever exists at Ocean Springs.
But the people there find some conso¬
lation in the fact that peculiar condi¬
tions surround the death of Sherry
Seymour. He was in bad health be¬
fore he was stricken, was dissipated
and unnecessarily exposed himself.
He was first treated with primitive
methods by his family, no physician
was called for four days, and when he
showed temporary recovery In- over-ate
himself and died. Dr. Guiteras, Dr.
Murray and all who participated in
the autopsy, declared, however, that
there was no question that the man
had died of yellow fever.
One of Dr. Guiteras’ doubtful pa¬
tients, a child, died Thursday.
Proves To Be Yellow Fever.
In Dr. Guiterae’s opinion the pre¬
vailing fever is not yellow fever, but
there are isolated cases of that dread
disease. Dr. Guiteras has pronounced
the case of Ernest Benges, now sick,
as yellow fever. Late Thursday even¬
ing the three cases heretofore reported
as existing at Boloxi were confirmed as
yellow fever by Drs. Murray and Gant
after a careful investigation.
They are thoroughly isolated and it
is confidently predicted that a spread
of the contagion will be prevented.
The sensational report given out that
there were seven additional cases in
Biloxi is now pronounced to be with¬
out foundation.
A feeling of depression exists in
Biloxi, but the little city is risiug equal
to the situation and a couple of tons
of disinfectants are being scattered
through the town.
A lato dispatch brings the informa¬
tion that a lad named Theodore San¬
chez, in Biloxi, shows a decided ease
of yellow fever, as diagnosed by Dr.
Haralson. No communication is al¬
lowed with inmates of the house. Dr.
Salamson and Dr. Kelly examined
nine cases of fever in Moss Point.
They declared that there is no case of
yellow fever in that town, nor even
suspicious case.
Precautions in New Orleans.
Dr. Guiteras, will go to Biloxi and
Scranton after he has completed his
investigation in Ocean Springs, Mayor
Flower, of New Orleans, was asked if
the f, ver would have the effect of in¬
ducing the uuihuj itia i to give the city
a cleaning up. He replied in the neg¬
ative, but added, however, that as
President Oliphaut believed a thorough
cleaning was required to kee the fever
out, it would be done.
Passenger trains leaving the city
Thursday carried only ordinary pas¬
sengers. Dr. Seeley, who has been
nursing patients at Ocean Springs,
has been stricken with yellow fever
at his home at Perkinston, Miss.
The case has been officially confirm¬
ed and Dr. H. S. Gulley, of Meridian,
state health officer, has gone to Per¬
kinston to take charge of the town and
establish quarantine.
MORE VICTIMS OF EXPLOSION.
Fred Snyder’s Injuries From Gas Explo¬
sion at Cygnet Proves Fatal.
Fred Snyder, justice of the peace,

ceived at the gas explosion in the town
several days ago.
This makes six deaths, and three
others, Carl Gibbons, LaFayette Silt-
ton and Herbert Stevens, are dying.
Harry Stevens had both legs crushed
so that amputation was necessary.
JURY PLACES BLAME.
Conductor and * ngineer Responsible For
Colorado Midlaad Horror.
A special from Denver, Col., says:
Frank Burbank, conductor, ami En¬
gineer Ostrander, deceased, of the
Colorado Midland railway, are charged
by the coroner’s jury with being re¬
sponsible for the frightful wreck which
occurred Thursday night. The in¬
quest was held Saturday morning. The
jury decided from the evidence that
the conductor and engineer attempted
to arrive at Newcastle siding upon the
time alloted by order of the train dis¬
patcher to the Rio Grande westbound
nassenger. Conductor Burbank was
rdeasedou bis own recognizance, and
after the verdict he was not rearijested.
