An electric express train, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railroad, bound from Liver pool to Southport, collided with an empty stationary train at Hall Road station, causing the death of twenty three persons and the injury of many others. The first car of the express, which was crowded, was smashed to pieces and only six of its occupants escaped. The road was recently given aa elec tric equipment. I I jury was sustained and they now seem very docile. The citizens are not excit ed and none are running away. How ever, all are co-operating with the au thorities, especially Mayor Camp and the town authorities, and are tak ing necessary precautions along sani tary lines. The citizens are very grate ful for the manner in which the State and Marine Hospital service have han dled the situation here and feel that their efforts will be effective in stamping out the disease. VICTIMS MOSTLY ITALIAN'S. The health authorities continue to hold also that the plague remains an Italian infection, all but two of the 2G cases reported being of that national ity. Almost without exception since the beginning of the fever, those who have lallen victims to the disease have been of the poorer classes of the population, many of them not long residents of the United States, and, therefore, un aeclimated. For several years the , planters of Louisiana have been replacing the ne groes with Italian labor, and there has been a steady flow of immigration from Sicily and other parts of Italy to Louisiana. Many of the immigrants have remained in New Orleans, find ing employment in the peddling ol fruit, or in the work of unloading ves sels at the fruit wharves. It vas among these that the fever first appeared, and to their lack of acclimation and the inadequacy of their treatment has been largely due the heavy mortality that has characterized the present vis it at ion of the scourge. Friday's deaths have been principally of Italians. In two or more cases in the last two days deaths have been reported ot persons who were only reported the day previously as having taken the fever. f here have been concealed case:;, which the emergency 'officers, with I he assistance of surgeons, have disclosed. The first death in the Emergency Hospital occurred. The hospital was opened Friday with 13 cases, and an equal number was added Friday. Into the hospital are sent the worst cases of unfortunates found -without com forts or medicinal attendance in their hemes. The Kaiser's Motive. Copenhagen. (By Cable.) The pre parations which have been made for the reception of Kaiser "William, who arrived here ilonday afternoon, were fsr from elaborate. -During his stay here the Kaiser will be received in Komi-ofTicial state. In court circles his visit will be taken as merely a courte sy call upon King Christian and an ef fort i-i being made to impress this fact upon the people generally. ' This attempt, however, has. net met with much success, as the people be lieve that there is some political move behind ih visit of the German ruler. In political circles the view is held thar die Kaiser will make an attempt to convince King Christian that the Baltic Sea should be closed to war ships of all nations except those which herder on the sea. If the Emperor suc ceeds in doing this, it will cause the greatest surprise, for the Danes, are rap.diy developing the suspicion .that the Kaiser's designs upon the Baltic are for the purpose of converting that sea into a German lake. Naval Officer Injured in Runaway. Norfolk, Special Dexter Tiffany, Jr.. a paymaster in the United States navy stationed at the navy yard j here in charge of auxiliary accounts, j was thrown from a runabout this even ing and sustained a very serious frac ture of the skull.

Hickory, (Special.) A cyclone Sat urday afternoon at Rhodhiss, accompa nied by hail and rain, did considerable damage to property, including growing crops, for some miles in its course. The greatest loss was the destruction of the nevr county bridge erected about a year ago by Burke and Caldwell counties at a cost of $12,000. The bridge is all down except its pillars, which represent one-third its cost. It is thought pos : bly some of the iron can be used for rebuilding. Under the State law the counties will have to re build the bridge at once. One corner of the Ruodhis.3 Mill, rather the upper part, was blown off, but there was lit tle damage to machinerj', said to be between one and two thousand dollars.
