DYNAMITED A TRAIN.
The Miraculous Escape of 18S People
From Instant Death.
St. Louis. Aug. S.—The most remarka
ble feature of last night’s attempt at
train wrecking at Eureka, Mo., was 'he
escape of the enure train and HI pep
son* upon it from absolute destruction.
The desperadoes, who were undoubtedly
accomplices of the fellow with whom
Express Messenger Ferguson had a
light, forced ’open a ear of dynamite
that stood on a aide-track below the sta
tion at Eureka and stole two big dyna
mite cartridges that, were intended for
heavy blasting in quarries and mines.
Each cartridge wus capable of tearing
to pieces tons trf solid ruck. They were
placed by the dsstardlr bandits on the
rails, the intention being to destroy the
train and plunder the nicely laden ex
press car and possibly the pusoengers.
It Is a miracle that the entire train was
not hurled to destruction, for the mls-
cr--.ints who attempted ro wreck It
ptaced the cartridges within a few feet
of a car which contained ten tons of
dynamite. Then th y secreted them-

i
Memphis, Aug. 3.—Official returns of
ths election for this county show tbo
straight Democratic ticket to have
.gone through complete by majorities
ranging from 017 to 4.723. The aver-
tig-’ falls about l,7i«i short of the ma
jorities setnmxt by the Demwratu <n
Ihe presidential election of 1802. In
ihe counties of west Teuueiuice, nearly
ull of which have been heard from, Ihe
DvuifwruU have barely h.--UI their own.
In - ’tne counties the fusloalsts have
elrctsd their county ticket, while tlie
Democmtlc nominees for the Kupreme
bench have received birge majorities.
This Is tbo case of Obkm county, where

The explanation of this, which is cur
rent st th. csnltol, L that the sugar
schedule ha* been agreed upon and 1ms
been accepted by the hbuae conferees,
a* follows: Forty per cent ad valorem
on all raw sugar, and the same amount
on aU refined sugar: the duty to be col
lected, however, on the basis of Its sac
charins strength. In additlbn to this
there is to be a dlfferentkil to the re
finer of 1-5 of a cent a pound and a dis
criminating duty against those countries
that pay an export bounty on refined
surar equal to the bounty *b puid. it
Is understood that the government will
alto regulate in some way the prices of
foreign sugars so as to prevent any at
tempt to Juggle with the quotations.
Every member of the conference de
nies that mere baa been any agree
ment, but sufficient has leeakd uot
from the conference room and through
such sources Cast there can be no
longer to doubt that they have agreed
as to what they will do when the time
comes to act. The house conferees have
always held that there wa» hidden
away in the schedule of the senate bill
a protection to the trust that greatly
augmented the differential of nne-
elg.itn that was given them and they
have contended that should be re-
ntov.-d. Upon this basis they make the
• I manJ ihsi the text of the bill st, ml-l
be changed, and. In a spinlt of conc---
sion, the senate to that extent yielded.
A - now i-r-i'.ired the sugar s - iu.e
will prot !.- (or the levying of the fol-
hm-lng duties:
On III 1 "V 'lid refined ,-uxars M per
cent. M valorem, the same rate aa-
hereto(or-‘, but with tin.* difference,
that tne duty * wiii v. mmw, not on
the price per pound oor the mere pound
of (he article purchased, but upon the
saccharine strength of the sugar found
in the total amount. If the eager is
raw the duty will be collected upon
only the pure auger it contains, and
When U comes to the collection *>( duty
on refined sugar, Instead of the col
lection being made upon the value of
the refined article U will be based upon
tha value und amount of pure sugar
necessary to maks the refined product.
In rbta way, It la claimed, there will
be absolutely no hidden protection foe
(he trust and (hat nothing can accrue
to them through the process of cefin-
Ui*\ The refining will be given a dlffer-
entlal duty of 1-5 of a cent a pound on
refined tuignr and a discriminating duly
levied against such countries as pay
an sxport. bounty on refined sugar
1-qluvalent \o the amount of that
bounty. \
It Is figured nut by those who adro-
cate Mite duty rW.it It la no better for
the trust than \he formers chedule,
although this is Jknled In other quar
ters. It Is also «al.t\h*t th* house con
feree* will accept ;.•** a* a solution of
the problem and thatyhey will claim
It a* a victory because\it doe* *way
with the alleged hiddrtB protection.
The next step after the m*uae agreed
t« accept this schedule waJVlo find out
If the refining Interest woufil Uke It.
It is understood that the x-'-nutcrs
who have cared for this Inter**; were
consulted find that they reluctan
rented th* sohedul* as the best
could be had and agreed that it s
not be antagonised. If this schedule
finally determined upon tomorrow. n»x
there Is always a possibility of a change'
at «h* last moment. It is quite probable
that the remainder of the bill may be
speedily disposed of. and there is a
hope (hat lb*.-full conference may b*
had Monday and the report made to
the senate esrly In th* week. The most
of the day was consumed In a discus
sion of the other schedules, and there
is now a pretty clear understanding
aa to iWh.tt to ill be done with th-.-aret
of the bill.
It la said tonight that Th* Louisiana
senators and Messrs* Allen and Kyle,
(he Utter representing the beet su
rar Industry, witl not accept the pro
posed echedule. It this 1* true,
not apparent how the Democrats ex
pect to pas* the'bill. There t* no pro vi
sion In the echedule for the bounty
for and both the Louisiana sena
tors have declared that unless this
bounty ta put In the bill they cannot
support It. It Is probable that bv to
morrow night the situation will have
crystallised Into something tangible
and that th* outcome will be known
with some degree of definiteness.

Altogether his uppcuraoce is effemi

The prisoner had hardly taken his

stand up. As he obcj’cd the onler he
bowed aud smiled again, and It seemed
difficult to reaLze that such a mild-
uiuuucrcd boy was the assassin of the
chief magistrate of the French repub
lic. After the opening formalities of
the trial. Including the appointment ot
nn interpreter, the prisoner was ques
tioned by the Judge. His Christian
name, he said, was Santo Gerualuto.
He was born In November, 1873, aud
bis father was a ferryman. Coming to
questions of the prisoner’s responsibil
ity the Judge said:
"It Is uu important point whether
you are rcspons.ble or not”
Cucncrlo replied, lu u linn voice:
“Yes, s.r, I am ulisolutcly responsible."
Later the Judge said: "Your mother
worshipped you and gave j’ou all tlio
ndrautages she possibly could. Sue
sent you to school, where you in
wou u prize.”
"Never unco,” mwwored Cnoserio,
laughing with geuuluo gayety. Tin
upiomli of the prisoner excited expr--
lOons of surprise on all nidinoUng

In reference to liis having been sent

Hj also denied that the crime wax
the result of a plot in which the as.
sisstn was designated by lot. T" >
Judge Hike 1 Oaeeerio if in ease he had
not kilted <he president tn Lyons ho
would have tried to do so elsewhere
In Paris, for Instance. The prisoner
ansigered that If he had not succeeded
he would have tried to find work.
Judge—Should you have followed and
tried to kill him elsewhere?"
Caeserlo—Perhaps so; If an oppor
tunity occurred.
A number of witnesses testified To tho
details of (he crime and (he Identifica
tion of the prisoner. A young boot
maker, Domergue, who oought Caeserlo
as he was lleelng after striking the
fatal blow, related the circumstances.'
Caeserlo contradicted Domergue, sty.
Ing: “You are not the first man whq
seized me. It waa some one else. You
are claiming glory that you did nut
earn 7”
InoldentaMy, Caeserlo expressed re
gret that he had thrown his dazaer
away, as had he retained tt he would
have stabbed Domergue or any on*
els* who attempted 'to stop him. At
this Domergue, whose face had been
almost crimson, turned white. During
a short speech the court declared re
cess.
De Bruit, the prisoner’* counsel, ex
pressed astonishment at hla clien’ts
coolness and asserted his intention to
set up a plea of Insanity, baaing it up
on the prisoner’s action and upon her
editary epileptic tendencies.
Dr. Poncet, (he physician who atend-
i“d Carnot after he waa wounded, gave
a long and detailed description of Car
not’s Injuries. While he was doing this
the prisoner sat up with nn expression
of mute vlaiioi,, u,'ii!tIi— th
word with the avidity of a student
