Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 31. Fif teen persons were killed and over 50 injured, some fatally, at 10:20 o'clock this morning by a collision between a special passenger train on the Big Four railway and a freight engine with a cut of coal cars. The accident occurred on the edge of this city. The passenger train of 12 coaches, was carrying 594 persons, nearly all of whom were students of Purdue University and their triends from Lafayette to Indianapolis for the an nual football srame between PhmIup and Indiana University, for the State championship, which was to have been fought this afternoon. In the first car, back of the engine were the Purdue football team, sub stitute players and managers. Three players, the coach, trainer and seven substitute players of the University team, were killed and every one of the fifty-three other persons in the car were either fatlly or seriously injured. From the twelve coaches were coming the joyous cries of a thousand rooters, while in the front coach sat twenty great muscular fellows, trained to the hour, on whom the hopes of a brilliant vtctory on the gridiron were confidently placed. Around a curve at the Eighteenth street cut, Engineer W. H. Schu maker found directly in front of him the freight engine and coal cars mov ing slowly from a switch leading to a gravel pit. He reversed his en gine and jumped. The crash hurled the passenger engine and the three front coaches against the steel freight cars loaded with coal that ploughed their way through and buried under a pile of wreckage weighing many tons, fully sixty human beings. The first car,-in which were the players, was completely demolished. INSULTED THE FLAG A Gunner in the U. S. Navy Severe ly Beaten for Insulting the Confederate Flag.

Bassett rf tv;,, . V, -KJM. AllUltJ College, on the negro question, first published in the South Atlantic Quarterly, of which he is editor, has stirred Durham from center to cir cumference. The expressed opinion of the people on the streets to-day in dicate that they are not any more in sympathy with Dr. Bassett in his position than they were with Presi dent Roosevelt when he dined with the negro that the learned Durham educator says is the greatest man born in the South in a hundred years with the single exception of General R. E. Lee. All over the city yesterday and to-day the citizens preachers as well as laymen have denounced Dr. Bassett in no uncertain terms. He has kicked up a hornet's nest here and if the people over the State are of the same opinion as those I here under the shadow of TrinihT well, the matter will not die an early death. It is freely expressed that the patrons, of Trinity College throughout the State will hold Dr. Bassett responsible for the extreme position he has taken. Learned and conservative men seen by your cor respondent to-day say that the po sition taken by Mr. Bassett will do nothing but add fuel to the racial troubles that have been stirred up by several attempts towards social equality in the recent past.

Engines Run Into a New Switch The Engineer Leaps and Dies Had He Remained On His Engine He Would Have Been Saved. Train Was Running Near Fifty Miles an Hour. Bessemer City, N. C, Oct. 2a. This morning about half past eight o'clock, about a Quarter of n. mJlo from tins place, occurred one of the most'disastrous wrecks the Southern Railway Company has suffered in many years, when a double header through freight train running at a rate of speed of something like 40 or 50 miles an hour, ran into a newiy made switch, killing four people, in- rarc ilv,rA ,.H;,.n ..u ",uuiu ncu-y win! canon ana lumber. The following is a list of the dead: T.J. Pettus, engineer, Charlotte. Marion McCombs, mill operative, Gastonia. W. B. Higgins, colored fireman, Blacksburg. John Thompson, colored fireman. bpencer. The injured are: P. S. Phaff, brakeman, badly scald ed and slightly bruised on face and arms; condition favorable. C. E. Tate, engineer on engine 1103, slightly bruised. Mr. T F. Ray, of Gastonia, who was traveling with his friend, Mc Combs, and who was riding under a box car next to the engine that was destroyed, was pulled out of the wreckage, strange to say, without a scratch or a bruise. It has been somewhat of a dif ficult matter to ascertain the real cause of the wreck. Many of those in a position to know differ wonder fully concerning it. It seems, how ever, that the flagman who was stationed with the workmen, a dis tance of a quarter of a mile this side of Bessemer City, where they w ere making a new switch, had express orders to flag all trains except 36, the fast mail. About the time 36 was suDDosed M. JL to be due ihe flagman, not knowing it was two hours and a half late, started up towards Bessemer City, and while going he heard a train blow. Thinking it was 36 and know ing that it would stop at Bessemer City, he made no special effort at haste. When he reached the curve of the road, about 100 yards this side of Bessemer City slation, he be held to his great surprise a double header freight dashing down the rail at a wonderful high rate of speed. He flagged the train, but . with no effect, because it was too near its doom, and the two engines puffing nr.l. u hu n1rl haup hdPn a litro I mnn at this moment had he not. He did what he thought best, but his act cost him his life. All during the day great crowds have been at the scene of the dis aster, v It took until late this evening to remove all the debris from the track. j hence all trains going north were belated.

Ilyomei the Latest Scientific Di try For the Cure of Catarrh. The discovery of Hyomei ov- has wrought a wonderful change in the treatment of catarrh. Prior to three years ago the medi cines ordinarily employed in the cure of this disease were nauseating drugs and worthless tonics. In some instances they benefited, but the im provement was not lasting. With Hyomei you take into the air passages of the throat and head a balsamie air that goes to the minu test cells.effectually killing all germs and microbes of catarrh. It enters the blood with the oxygen, killing the germs in the blood, and restores health to the whole system. Many astonishing testimonials have been received from those who have been cured by Hyomei. A complete outfit costs but $1, and includes an inhaler, dropper and suf- r 1. -r-m . ncient njoraei lor several weeks treatment. Perhaps the strongest evidence that can be given to the doubters, is the fact that J. H. Hill & Son have so much faith in Hyomei that they sell every package under a positive guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. Now is the time to begin the use of Hyomei.
