(Special).—While running at a high rate of speed train No. 97. on the Southern railway, the southbound mail, one of the fastest fefcular trains in the world, jumped from a trestle 75 feet high half a mile north of Danville. Va.. and was almost demolished. Of the crew of 16 men. including postal clerks, on the train, 9 were killed and 7 injured. The express messenger. W F. Pinkey. was the only person on the train that escaped uninjured. All of the injured men are seriously hurt and have been taken to the jiospital in Dans-illc. The recovery Clerk Spies is not expected, and other clerks are thought to have received mortal in-

juries.

The trestle where the accident occurred is 500 feet long and is located on a sharp curve. Engineer Broady was * new aiaa oa that division of the Southern, and it As said he came to the curve at a very high rate of speed. The engine had gone only about 50 feet on the trestle when it sprang from the track, carrying with it four mail cars ami an ^express car. . The trestle, a wooden structure, also gave way for a

space of 50 feet.

At the foot of the trestle Is a shallow stream with a rocky bottom. Striking this the engine and the cars were redneed to a mass of twisted iron and steel and pieces of splintered wood As the cars went down they touched the sides of the Riverside cotton mill, which is

very close to the trestle.

All the men on the death list above were killed instantly, it is thought, and their bodies were mutilated by the fall. The skin and hair of the engineer and fireman were torn off by the impact of

the steam engine.

Several thousand persons from Danville went to the scene,of the wreck soon after it occurerd. No one*on any of the cars had made an effort to jump and the bodies of all those killed were found in the wreckage of the different cars to which they belonged Ladies who drove out to the wreck from Danville fainted at the sight of the bodies, some of which

Additional information obtained at the State Department about the trouble near Blucfields, Nicaragua, is to the effect that a number of American citizens have suffered ill treatment on the Island of St Andrews, 40 miles from Blucfields, and that the local authorities have failed to afford them protection or redress. The matter was reported to the State Department by Edwin W. Trimmer, the American agent at Blucfields. and at his suggestion the Nashville has been ordered from Pensacola to St. Andrews. The Americans involved are connected with a plantation at St. Andrews. The State Department officials say they do not anticipate serious trouble, but the evident inability of the local anthorities or their unwillingness to maintain order makes the presence of an American war-

ship desirable.

Withdrawals of the American warships from Beirut seems unlikely for the present in view of a cablegram ceived at the State Department from Minister Leishman, at Constantinople, stating that although bis advices from Beirut indicate that the situation quiet just now, nothing like permanent order has been established. Mr. Leishman says the state ol affairs there may yet be regarded as uncertain. It is indicated in Mr. Leishman'O blegram that the departure of the w ships might be the occasion for a . _ newal of the riots. This confirms the opinion held here by State Department officials that the qniet at Beirut is due directly in the presence of American warships off that port. Minister Leishman adds that the new governor of Beirut is actively inaugurating reforms there, but that it is not yet certain he will be able to handle the situation. How far he has the backing of the Porte in his activities in behalf of foreigners and their imereata is not stated.

The following bulletin has been posted at the State Department: "The Department of State has received- advices from the American charge at St. Petersburg to the effect that in the GoiffK riot eight Jews and five Christians lost their lives.

In view of the position taken by the Russian government at th^ time of«the Kisheneff affair (that the imperial authorities would decline to receive foreign representations concerning domestic matters' where no foreign interests were involved) the report of the American charge at St. Petersburg that no foreigners or foreign interests were jeopardized in the recent antiSemite not at Gomel closes the incident *0 far as the State Department is concerned.

by Express Messenger Fred Korncr and Engineer Ollie Barrett was seriously wounded by the same bullet After the - shooting the robbers fled without securing any booty. Two of the highwaymen boarded the train at Troutdale, a station 18 miles east of here, and after the train had got under way they crawled over the tender and. covering the engineer and firemen with revolvers, told them to stop at Mile-post 21, which is near

Corbett Station.

When the train slosred down two more men appeared. Two of the robbers compelled the engineer to get of the cab and accompany them to express ear, while the others watched the fireman. The me* carried several sticks of dynamite, and when they came to the baggage car. thinking it was the express car. threw a stick at the door. Express Messenger Korner heard the explosion and immediately secued hia rifle and opened fire. The bullet pierced the heart of one of the robbers and went through his body, entering the left breast of Engineer Barrett, who seas just behind him. After the shooting the orhrr three robbers fled without securing any booty, and it is supposed they took to a boat which they had moored to the

bank of the river.

The robber ordered Engineer Barrett to walk in front of him while approaching the baggage car, but nt jumped behind just before the shot from the express messenger's rifle was fired. The body of the dead robber was left beside the track and the wounded engineer was brought to this city. Sheriff Story and four deputy sheriffs left on a special train for the scene of the robbery at 12:45. Shortly after the express train bearing the sheriffs posse arrived one ol the gang of outlaw* was found a short distance op the track badly wounded from a charge of buckshot which ’ had received in the head. ’ He 1 placed on board the sheriff's special train, which was turned around and headed for Portland. The bandit said his name arts Jim Connors, and that he is from Portland, but refuses to make known the names of any of the other bandits or the direction in which they went FILIPINO CHARGED WITH TREACHERY.
