Thirty-five ' Dead, ' ' ' Corning, tt Y., July 6. -Thirty five passengers ware killed and 60 injured when an express , train crashed into the fast westbound Lackawanna passeDger train No. two miles east of this city yasterdsy morning. J ' Ths passenger train which runs from New York to Buffalo, had been stand ing oa the track for 20 minutes when tha axpress train, which carried no pas sengers, struck it in tha rear at full speed.' The two day coaches attached to the rear of No. 9 were hurled down an em bankment and the express plunged half way through the rear Pullman : of the standing train before it came to a stop. The collision occured at 2:25 o'clock. Most of the killed were passengers in the day coarhee who were returning home to spend the Fourth. - : On account of the confusion and the ack of wires the news of the disaster was slow in reselling here, but by 6 o'c ock physicians were on the scene and the injured brought to a hospital aere.- f :-- ;Vr ;. ; v-' At 8 o'clock a number of tbe injured were still pioned under the wrecksge sod their groans and shrieks Could be clearly heard. At one time there were .60 persons, many of them fatally injured, lying on tbe floor of the emergency room at the local hospital. Every undertaker in Corning wss called to help care for the dead, but thrir wagons were first pros-! sed into service to carry the injured to ihe hospital . ; ! Tbe place where the wreck occurred was a straight stre'eh of track. So far a can be ascertained the engineer of the express train had no . warning that he passenger train was in his way. The crowded passenger train was held up by a break in a freight train on the track ahead. " No. 11 came along at the rate of 60 miles an hour. William Spsver. the engineer, failed to see the stalled train ahead because of a dense fog that prevailed at the time. '. The engine crashed through the observation car and telescoped three coaches ahesd. Mayor Rodman's Son Operated Upon. Or, J. C.

It can seldom be said that a community suffer aso distinctive a loss in the death of scititen.tho' that citizen may be pro minent and even influential, as does New Bern in the passing of C. W.

And tble lo a quiet way, for Mr. Munger, however keen in trade affirs,waa very quiet in personal deameanor. This self-help so generously extended to so( msny by Mr.Mungsr is best known and most felt by ths recipients.

Tbey ran all the way and went immediately to the mountain where they were engaged . until 10 o'clock at night. The mountain was evacuated by the Confederates on Mon day morning and took a position across the Antietsm, where on Wednesday, Sept; 17th, they were engsged in a fierce conflict,' 13.000 men being killed and wounded. ' " ' '; ' This is Mr. Clarke's first visit in Wes tern Maryland since 1862. At that time he was a young man and hi now aged 70, He purposes to take in all the bat tlefields before his return.

At ' General Huerta 's federal head quarters. Bachimba, July 4th. Eight hours of hsrd fighting gave the govern ment forces the advantageous position they now hold, and whan the fighting is resumed tomorrow General Huerta be lieves he wilt have no difficulty in forc ing the entire rebel army from their mountain stronghold. ''.-;' ? 4 -i V "Tbe government army made a great showing," said General Huerta as he moved his box car telegraph office into Bachimba station at ten o'clock last night, a place only yesterday held by tbe rebels. - Tomorrow at dsybreak, he declared, the federals will renew the attack. Two bomb throwing machines were csptured from the rebels and several prisoners were taken. ; Casualties are unknown tonight as the battlefield haa not been examined, but as most of the firing was long range its not believed the loss es will be heavy on either side. Unless General Orozco on account of a scarcity of ammunition has withdrawn his fore es northward as has been reported here, it is probable that tomorrow's fighting will be decisive.

Santago, Cuba, July 6. -A force of insurgents late last night attacked a police outpost in the suburbs of this city, shooting and killing one police man. The rebels retired apparently without loss. Government troops were despatched immediately on their trail. :;y The citizens are much alarmed, as the insurgents wera supposed to hsve oeen completely dispersed and driven off to tbe woods, and the audacious attack on the suburbs was a complete surprise. Tbe strength or ins annex ing force is not known. - Appropriation for Militia Invalid. Washington, July 5. The whole ex tensive program for the joint encamp ment and maneuvers of tbe regular ar my and the national guard, which be gan today, eame near being suspended through omission in the enrollment of the act of Congress providing for the exorcises. In the haste of tbe legislators tbe law Lore the usual initial declaration, by tbe senate and the bouse of repre sentatives of the United States." But the words "of America," which should have followed, wera omitted and the act thus was made invalid. The war department aw officers, however, discovered that the appropri ations for the maintenance of the reg ular establishment might be need to a limited extent for about two weeks to defray the expenses of the troops, and before the expiration of that time Con gress is expected to correct tne error. ' Hard oa ths Governor. Even if governor Kitehln should sue ceed in bis effort to prove Senator Sim mons was not fit to succeed himself in tbe senate would ba not have to go all over tha state again to prove that he himself was fit for the job f The Gov ernor dwells at length on records. He has been in odice 16 years and if be has a record of large achievements, even his staunchest supporters have failed to produce it. Is the governor occupy ing all of his time in attacking bis op ponent in order to keep the public eye away from his own record? It begins to look that way.

WEEKLY COTTOn MARKET REVIEW Government Report Causes Ac tive Advance. Crop " Situation, New York, July 6. -"-The cotton trade -, waa caught napping by the gqvern ment report on Wednesday, Even many v."" of tbe bulls s . emed to be dozing. Tbeys wound up, however. : Everybody seen ed to be buying at once as soon as tha -Condition and acreage figures, were an nounced and prices therefore rapidly ' ' advanced. .The condition was given sa 80.4 per cent against 78 9 a month ago, '. 88.3 last year an-i 80. 7 as. the ten-year ' ' average. As , for: the acreage it was given as only : 34.097,000 or 2,684,000 ' less than the tola- for last year. As re- - . , gards the condition, Georgia, Alabama - Louisiana, Arkansas an 1 Tennessee- . made an eppecisl'y . bad showing. Nor do the Carolines, Florida and Oklahoma appear to advantage.' They are well - , . behind last year. Georgia is so far be hind as to attract special attention. And -since the report June 25, there have ' been convpluiuts of excessive rains and -cold nights in the Atlantic .section and - -; also to Borne extent in the eastern gulf . . and central portions of the belt. That makes some people think that the real " condition of the crop is below 80 per ct. However tida may b, very many ara bullish on the idea that the. condition of the crop in rather bad, that the sea- - . son is two to three weeks late and that ixceptionally favorable weather will ba necessary during July and August to . raise a crop of anything' like the size required. Of la'e (h re has been per sistant heavy raina in parts of Georgia, Tennessee and Arkansas, Meantime - the spot sales in Liverpool are surpri singly large. Bulls are elated over this - fact. On the other hand, there are those who think that the price of cot ton is altogether tog high. They be lieve that spinners are well supplied on both sides of the water. Recently some of them have been selling a little of - their spot cotton, evidently believing . that it can he replaced to advantage later on. The outlook in Texas is very favorable. Many believe that the crop , in that state will this yar be the lar- , gest evtr raised, poor crop report$Uv( active spot markets home and abroad, v -r. the strength of July in. New Orleans ; - and latterly tha nervousness of thorts r - -have contributed to cause an advance - ' in prict8.

After the exercises in the church the gathering of about 300 souls repaired to the grove to examine and appropri ate .the contents of the baskets and boxes, a bountiful feast was spread, we . all enjoyed the repast. Then for two or three hours the social life wss prom inent and in groups of two or more, of ten only two, tbe crowd proceeded to enjoy the pleasant afternoon.
