The growth of higher knowledge has been a very gradual one, 6ays ihe Nineteenth Century. It has come by leaps and bounds within the last two centuries, after remaining stationary for more than sixteen hundred years. The nineteenth century especially has been a period of activity and progress in the various branches of science such as the world has never seen before. Nor could it have been seen before. The full light of liberty liberty of action and liberty of thoug ht was necessary for any great forward movement, and the world was lying in the bonds of darkness and superstition.

The tree of liberty is a plant of slow growth, that has fought its upward way painfully, bowing1 its head often beneath the blasts of persecution, and often broken beneath the foot of the oppressor. Like Igdrasil, the tree of life, it has its roots deep below in the kingdom of the dead. It was not till this century that it had attained such growth as to burst into the blossom which is everywhere bringing1 forth noble fruit for the service of man. Had Hahnemann and Stephenson, Herschel and Edison lived in the middle ages their genius would have availed mankind nothing. The slow world was not ready for them, and it would have crushed and silenced them, as it did Galileo and many another brave spirit that was born out of time.

They would have gone under, and shouts and hymns would have celebrated another triumph of orthodoxy and authority. Authority was the juggernaut beneath whose car all the best and boldest spirits were crushed in the sacred name of religion. nr Via almoste al places of studie, wrote Cornelius Agrippa, "a damnable custom is growen, in that they binde with an othe the schollers which they receive never to speak against Aristotle, Boetius, Albert, or any other of their schollers being accompted a God, from whom if a man differ a finger's breadth in thought, immediately they will call him Heritike and worthy to be burned." Montaigne, too, adds his protest to the same effect: "The opinions of men," he says, "are reoei red, according to ancient belief.by authority and upon trust, as if it were religion and law, and thus the world cometh to be filled with lyes and fopperies. It is not enqwired whether Galen has said anything to the purpose, but whether he has said so and so; and 'tis lrreligion to question any of Aristotle's decrees." The old Frenchman adds quaintly: "Whoever should bundle up a lusty, faggot of the fooleries of human awia dom would produce wonders." Hla Name.

Failure or Air Brakes to Work Cause a Bear End Collision In Which Twelve Person Are Killed Over a Score Injured. CRUSHED IS A. WBKCK. Jackson, Oct. 14.

Two excursion trains came together in a rear end collision near the Michigan Central station here at 9:40 a.m., killing twelve and injuring twenty threepersons. The colliding trains were the nrt and second sections of the New York Central special day coach excursions to Chicago, carrying people to the world's fair The first section had stopped at Jackson for breakfast and had just started to pull out when the seeqnd section, tcaveling at a rate of 40 miles an hour, dashed past the semaphore and crashed into the rear end of the train ahead. The heavy locomotive plowed its way under and through the passenger coaches, smashing them into bits and throwing the fragments high into the air. The trains were crowded with passengers and the engine did fatal work as it tore through the cars. A complete list of the dead follows: The Victim.

N. slightly hurt; William Whalen, Jackson, ankle broken and Injured internally. Cause of the Accident. The cause of the accident is thought to have been the failure of the air brakes on the second section. The engineer says that when he passed the semaphore he tried to stop the train, but found the brakes would not work.

He and the fireman saved their lives by jumping, but both were hurt. The collision occurred about 100 yards east of the station. The first section had been standing twenty six minutes, the passengers had taken breakfast and the train was just starting on its journey. Suddenly the people around the station were astonished to hear the roar' of the second section as it came thundering down the track, and were horrified to see it a moment later strike the rear coach of the first section with terrific force. The oncoming engine drove its pilot beneath the first car it struck, lifting the coach almost on end, and in a position where it was most easily riven by the head of the boiler as the machine kept right on, its progress seemingly only temporarily staid by the impact on the coach.

The fate of the last coach on the train was shared by eight others. The big engine of the second tore through them. Some of the cars were turned quite over by the force of the shock. One car "telescoped" another so completely that the wreckage looked like but a single coach. Taking Out the Bodies.

It was in this train that the casualties occurred. The terrible force of the collision threw some of the passengers out of the wrecked coaches to the side of the track, where they lay dead or suffering. Almost before the trains had come to a standstill the work of rescue had been commenced. The men who were congregated near the station and had witnessed the accident rushed to the relief of the injured. Within twenty minutes six dead bodies had Wen removed from the wreck.

A score more of wounded were tenderly lifted from the ruins and carried to the nearest houses or hotels. The dead were taken to the morgue. Carriages and omnibuses from the station were pressed into service as ambulances. were summoned in haste, and the best aid possible under the circumstances was given to the injured. First Beetlo Demolished.

The first section was ripped open from the last coach to the baggage car. One of the cars near the forward end of the train was knocked "from the tracks and thrown directly across the tracks. Another car waav'i driven squarely into that ahead of it, pinning the passengers to their seats and killing many of The passengers were jammed into all aorta of positions by the crashing timbers. Some were thrown to the floor and held down by the seats falling on them. Others were fastened in the seats or chairs by the framework of the car being smashed down about them.

There 'were many narrow escapes. Men' and wemea were taken out unhurt, often lying for an hour beneath a mass of splintered wood that had to be chopped to pieces before they could be released. It took almost two hours to remove all the1 victims. When the list was made up it was found that there were seventeen dead and fifty two injured. The engine of the second section was but a heap of scrap iron a minute after the collision.

As it plowed its way through the fated train ahead all the gearing was torn from it. Wheels were broken, driving bars bent like pins and the heavy machinery beneath the boiler was twisted out of shape. The cab was reduced to matchwood and scraps. Engineer's Story. The first section of the excursion train was called the "Oswego" and the last section the "Webb" special.

Engineer Bill Whalen, who lives here, was running the last section. He says: "I saw the signal in the yard to keep back, and had my engine in hand, as I thought, but when I came down near the train, which was still, my air brake would not work, and I ran into the coaches. The failure of the air made it impossible to stop I never had such an experience before." Mr. Whalen is badly burned, and has one leg broken but he will live. Awfully Mangled.

The fearful effect of the collision and the awful force with which the trains came together is demonstrated in horrible manner by the mangled remains of the dead as they lie at the morgue. Almost every corpse is frightfully disfigured and many of them would be utterly beyond recognition were it not for cards, letters or other means oi identification found on their persons. Most Horrible Incident. One of the most horrible sights around the wreck was a woman carrying a woman's head, bloody and disfigured, through the crowd. She held the head by the hair, and now and then would hold it up, look lovingly at it, speak to it tenderly and kiss it Then she would show it Vo the horror stricken spectators.

She laughed and cried by turns, and was plainly a raving maniac, made so by the discovery of the fearful death of the person whose grisly relic she carried. She was taken the police station with the head, which she would not relinquish. Misery and Confusion. The cars were wrecked almost at the edge of the station platform and in the very heart of the railroad yards. Many people were standing on the platform or walking through the yards and saw the slaughter.

Within a moment after the engine plunged through the coaches the whole region about the station was in an uproar and frenzy. The wreck itself lay in a tangled mass. The screams and groans ofc the rictima filled the air. Sane people crawling from the debris ran away as if crazy. Bodies were lying on top of the timbers and muffled calls for help could be heard from beneath the great mound of ruins.

The scenes of the next hour are of the kind which can hardly be told. On a little grass plat near the depot the men working in the rubbish had soon placed a row of twisted and bloody corpses. Every room near at hand and all the station rooms were hospitals. The women who were not badly hurt sobbed and shrieked. Men and women were running about through the gathering crowd shouting for some missing friend.

Around the wreck were hats, valises, cuffs and various articles of clothing, most of them dirty and blood stained. Bodies were being carried to wagons and hurried away to the morgue. The injured were being taken to the hospital and the hotels. His Wife's Head Cut Off. One of the ghastly phases of the accident was the decapitation of Mrs.

D. Z. Gibbs. She was accompanied by her husband, who was out of the car at the time of the collision. She was not identified until night.

Mrs. Gibbs' husband was one of the active searchers for the dead, but did not recognize her when she was taken from the wreck. made a trip through the different undertaking establishments and was horrified to find his wife among the dead. Mrs. Gibbs was caught between two short pieces of timbers in a car seat.

SHARP TACTICS OF ITS 0PP05E3TS. Continued Talk of Compromise Mere Amendment Offered Another tmomg Bat Futile Session of the Senate Held. NOT DISPLACED.

Washington, Oct 13. The Voorhees substitute for "House bill No. 1," for the repeal of the silver purchasing section of the act of July 14, 1890, resumes its place as the "unfinished business' in the ordinary daily routine of the senate. It will continue to occupy the position unless displaced by some other pressing measure or until some conclusion is reached by compromise or otherwise. It is not likely, however, that the vigilant friends of repeal will permit the measure to be shelved by indirection in this way.

A formal vote to proceed to the consideration of some other measure would bring about a clearly defined test of strength between the friends and opponents of repeal, and this is just what the silver men in their six long weeks of labored discussion have deliberately and purposely avoided by all the resources of parliamentary ingenuity in which they have shown themselves such consummate masters. Speakers In Reserve. In dispassionately viewing the situation onlookers will not fail to notice that not one of the silver men who has spoken thus far has closed his speech, each having indicated before temporarily yielding the floor that he would probably desire to resume his remarks at some future and more convenient time. The precautions thus far taken were adopted with the deliberate purpose of avoiding the effect of an old senate rule that no senator should speak more than once on the same subject In addition to the senators who can take the floor to continue their remarks the silverites have in reserve Senator Jones and Senator Morgan Compromise Propositions. From this survey of the field and of the resources of the anti repealers the inference is derived that a compromise of some kind is the only possible outcome.

There are a number of propositions for compromise legislation before the senate. Senator Blackburn (Ky.) has one which does not include any bond issue, and which, Kb, Tv4n VkWiaullv Infimfltjwl acceptable to the executive; after efforts at unconditional repeal had failed. Senator Faulkner (W. Va.) has another proposition which contemplates the maintenance by the United States of a total circulation of $800,000, 000 of silver (an amount about equal to that maintained by France). This proposed measure has met with considerable favor.

Won't Consent to Compromise. The president has not yet given his consent to any compromise, and the leaders of the repeal forces still say that they will not be a party to a compromise. Senator Harris (Tenn.) says he believes his party in the senate is able to devise a bill with sufficient unanimity to put it through as a party measure, Senators Pugh (Ala.) and Jones leading silver men, talked in the same, strain. The repeal leaders are, apparently, as determined as ever to go forward with the bill unamended. Ha Borrowncd Wo Money.

Two Unknown Steamers Collide In Boston Harbor Lives Lost. Boston.

Oct 14. Two unknown steamers collided in the harbor at a late hour Friday night while a heavy fog hung over the water, and one was sunk with all on board. So sudden and complete was the disaster that the vessel filled and sank before a movement could be made to save the ill fated passengers. Many lives were lost how many it is impossible to say. The darkness and the fog render communication almost impossible, and hardly a detail of the catastrophe is known.

The name of neither steamer can be learned. The cause of the accident is said to have been the dangerous weather and the fog. Every effort is being made by the authorities to gain information, but thus far without success. a LOST HIS FOUR SONS. Fire Consume the Home of a Farmer Near BUnto.

For the third time the Vigilant has passed the Valkyrie and the America's cup will stay in this conSti another year. With plenty of wind, with a splendid sea and an almost ideal day for yachting the beautiful white boat passed the line, and amid the blowing of whistles, the cheering of men and while women waved their handkerchiefs the flagship May hoisted the colors of the Vigilant Valkyrie Takes the Lead.

The course was 15 miles to windward and return. The Vigilant was first on the ground, and soon the Valkyrie came down in tow of her tug. After some preliminary maneuvering the gun from the flagship declared the third and AMEBICA'S CLP. last race had begun for the cup The yachts made a short board on the starboard tack, but changing soon, took a long run to port Apparently their positions did not change. The Valkyrie kept her lead and if anything increased it.

At 1:12 the Valkyrie came about and made a short board to the starboard, the Vigilant following her closely. Then again to port both boats turned, while the friends of the Vigilant declared she pointed a little cloaer to the wind than her rival. Aa Kxeltlna Beee. The Valkyrie turned the stake with its red flag at and the Vigilant followed at 2:3.1. Apparently the lead of one and one half minutes at the first had not been changed.

As she swept by the waiting steamers the Valkyrie at 2:38 set her silk spinnaker, which glistened like a sheet of silver in the wind. In two minutes the sheets were home and the great sail was pulling and tugging like a live thing. The effect was apparent immediately. The Valkyrie drew away from her rival as though the latter were tired out hut the sheets of the Vigilant went home and she, too, leaped forward. Then the Valkyrie doused her jib and forestay and set a balloon staysail in place.

The Vigilant hauled her balloon jib slowly up to the topmast head and set it She seemed to fairly jump in the water. From that time on it was a foregone conclusion that the Valkyrie would be beaten again. As the white boat drew up behind she blanketed her rival and the silk spinnaker fell in graceful folds for a time. It was not long, however, before the Vigilant had made a cast to the south suf ficint to enable her to pass, and the filled once more. The estimated three quarter mile between the boats fell rapidly, and at 2:30 the end of the bowsprit of the Vigilant was in line with the Valkyrie's stern.

Fatal Mishap to the Enflfsh Yaebt. At 3:30 it had reached her bowsprit head, and at 3:32 aline of open water appeared between the two this time the Vigilant in the lead. How the whistles screamed and the people applauded! Suddenly at 3:34 the men on the Valkyrie were seen running to and fro, and then a glance showed the silk spinnaker had been split in two flapping ribbons. Down it came by the run, and in a few seconds a new one was in place and was being hauled up and sheeted home. The work of the crew was so quick that at the new sail was in place and drawing to the fulL Short aa the delay was.

it is to be feared it lost the Valkyrie the race, for the two boats were very close. Meantime the Vigilant was driving ahead, the distance between herself and her rival gradually widening. She was a picture as she' tore' along under mainsail, gaff topsail, spinnaker and balloon jib, every thread drawing and the yacht waving her tall masts slightly from side to side. The finish.
