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 - tion, Ivy.; Earlybranch and Sumter, S. C.; Trimble, Teun.; Lewisville, Tex., and East Radford, Va.—Trades¬ man (Chattanooga, Tenn). 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. TO MARK GRAVES Of Confederate Soldiers Buried From Northern Prisons During the War.

Thursday a night a sub-committee was appointed to select the places at which monu¬ ments shall be erected. 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 Dr. Guiteras and other experts visit them so as to ascertain if the fever in Biloxi is really yellow jack RETURN OF JEWS TO ZION. Advisability of Purchasing Palestine Con¬ sidered lly Prominent Hebrews. An interesting account of the con¬ vention of representative Tews, held atBas-il, Switzerland, to consider the purchase of Palestine and the early exodus of the Jews to the Holy Land, is being published with profuse illus¬ trations in “Jewish Sentiment,” a handsome sixteen-page weekly paper, printed in English. $2.00 a year, sample copy 10 cents. Address Jewish Sentinient, Box 703, Atlanta, Ga. 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. WEYLER TO BE DEFENDED. Government of Spain Will Proceed Against Critics.

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, died at Cygnet, O., from injuries re¬ 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. FITZ SAYS “NAY!” Ho Declines to Fight Ex-Champion Jim Corbett. In an interview at Newark, N. J., Saturday Bob Fitzsimmons, the pugil¬ ist, in reply to the offer of the North¬ ern Tulane Club, of New Orleans, of a purse of $20,000 for a fight between himself and Corbett, said: “I wilt not fight Corbett again until he makes a reputation. Let him fight some one else. He quit like a yellow cur on the 17th of last March.” DENOUNCED BY GOMPEUS. Do Declaros tile Slaughter at nmrlton \Va. Ilrutal Murder.
