SILVER KIN� IN A ORASII, W. J. BRYAN'S NARROW ESCAPE FROM AN AWFUL' DEATH. ONNAVI Two Fart Trains on the A., T. at S. F. Collide with Disastrous Results - 'Five Person* kHled Oatvght Injured. A. despateh from Emporia, Kansas, says: -Wednesday night's bead on ma- nsion on the Atcbison, Topeka and Santa Be proves the most disastrous that has occurred on that system in Mane years. Ten people were kill- ed. outright, or soon died of their in- juries, and. fifteen others were more or less seriously injured. One or two Mors Of the wounded may succumb. That the wreck did not resuat more seriously seems miraoulous. William J Bryan, who was a pas- senger on one of the trains, escaped u ninjured, and aided materially in rescuing the enfortanates and alleviat- ing their sufferings. THE WRECKED TRAINS were the fastest in the service -the fast: mail, eastbound, and the Cali- fornia mad Iii5axiect exprees, westbound, Eaelt was running at the rato of forty ranee an hour. The wreck occurred at 7.30 o'clock in the evening, three miles east of Em- poria, on a smell cuevert that crossed e dry stream. The culvert was not more titan ten feet wide, and the fore- most engine of lee westbound train had smarmed. it whea the collision occurred. The embankment approaceee to this oullvert were about tele feet high. This added to the danger. The wreck was caused by a miescarriage of orders by the, train despatcher. The conductor of the eastboued. train was ordered at Emporia to meet and. pees the Cali- fornia flyer at Lang, seven, railes east. An.order sent toLting to theconduetoi of the westbound. to wait there was not delivered, and he supposed he was to pass at Emporia. EACH TRAIN WAS HURRYING one to Emporia, the other to Lang, ' and. met at full wed on the main line. The California train was almost an hour 1 late and, owing to Mr. Bryan's lecture engagement at Burlingame, was crowd- ed with exeuesionists retureing home. The west bound trate carried eight passenger coaches, and. all were crowd- ed. The conductor and brakeman were getting their lanterns ready for Em- poria, only three miles away. There was no warning signal. The west- botied train was going around a slight ou,rve and met the fast mail, pro- bably. within net) hundred feet. There wag a shook as if the trains bad bump- ed. up against a stone wall. 'then there was an explosion, a crashing sound, an uncertain movement tit the coaches and all the lights went oat.. Those who were in the first coach in the west bounl train were left in total darknees, end they very soon realized THE PERIL OF TEIdIR POSITION. Lor the eoaches were filled with steam and smoke. The west: bound train was drawn by two losomotives, and when they struck the iast mail, all three of the engines exploded and tore a. hole in the traelt so deep that the I smoking car of the west bound train went on top of the wreck of the three engines and two mail cars and Lalanced there without turning over. Those in this car who escaped through the win- ' dows, came very near turning the ear i over, in which event the mortality I would have been mu '11 greater, as this , car soon caught fire from the explod- ed engines underneath it and burned to ashes in a short time. i William J. Bryan was interviewee by a reporter as to his experiente in the ' collision. "I have travelled thousands upon thousands of miles on railroads . and I never was in a wresk betore. I 1 ' did not feel the seosk very severely where I was, but from the way things looked I cannot for the life of me see I why we were not all killed. The scene I here presented. is the mast terribleI mi have ever seen. It has made an m - pression on me that cannot leave me during my lifetime." WERE IN THE SMOKING CAR. Mr. Bryan, a .cempanied by David Leahy, a Topeka, newseaper man, were in the smoking coach of the west- bound. train. They were dissussing the day's events at Ourlington, where the Nebraskan had teeu tne aLtraetion of _thou:anus, e. 1.O0p,e, when they heard a crash, then an explisem. In a moment the lights went out and steam and gas from the voai fitted the car. Before they could make a nwve, the car was pushed forward with tremendous forse and it teemed te t,rss in the debris tike a crippled ship at sea. Every mo- me.nt they expected it to turn over. The tar nullity etepped, and, as it did so, began to :aten ure faun te,ow. The two men jumped out of the i.ame window w.tneut wei ,. hats or Laggage, whioh were afterwards burned, and escaped piaaecady without a sarateh. Mr. Bryan reacheo Emporia about mid- night, and remained at Lite hotel till morning, when he resuene.d his journey. KILLED; MISSLNG, INJURED.

Hardly a day passes without the arrest at from one to half a dozen persons deteeted in passing spurious notes or silver coin.

As works of art these certifi- cates may be very Inc. but for pur- poses of money they were shoakingly defieient in many of the safe -guards which the depaetment had provided against counterfeiting. Government cletestives bate been in - strutted to ba on the watell for bogus silver dollars, the tip having leen given the Treatury Department that it move woe being made in some mys- terious and unknown quarter for the minting of such dollars an a large, s ato the coins to have the same amount of silver as the genuine, and to be in exe simiatude of the coin hearing the stamp of the United e;•tates zninte. Thus far the titpartment hoes not been altle to lo ate any of this productand it ie not believed any of the bogus dollars of that sort are yet in eiron ation, hat that is no guaranty that the, country may not at any tirae be flooded with them. At the present pree of silver builien there is a margin of ceuts on every dollar privately minted. LEPROSY IN B. C. A New CIISO Thal the authorities Know Not BMW to tempest. or.
