Ia another Interview, Sheriff Martin as asked: "When yoa met the fnen were they on company property or on the public road?" He replied: "No. they were on the public road." "Were the- marching toward Latimer?" "Had they up to that time committed any act otherwise than peaceable?" "No." "Why, then, did you order the deputies to fire?" "I did not order the deputies to fire; seme one else did that. First came a single shot, and then a volley.

I gave no order." "How many were killed?" "There were twelve dead when I left and about forty wounded." "Were any of your men hurt?" "One of my deputies was shot through the arm." Sheriff Martin, when he reached was badly scared. Though he claims to have been brutally assaulted, when seen he did not have a mark on his person to show that he had been roughly handled.

Governor Hastings tonight ordered out the Third brigade, of which General Gobin is commander, and instructed General Schall to hold the First brigade in readiness. The troops will mobilize at Hazleton and are expected to be on the scene by daybreak. Captain A. R. Paxton, TJ.

S. attached to the National Guard, started for Hazleton tonight by direction of the Governor. Superintendent Creighton of the middle division of the Pennsylvania railroad was called into conference at the executive mansion and has arranged for the speedy transportation of the soldiers. The Governor received a copy of resolutions adopted at a mass meeting tonight at Hazleton, urging the sheriff of Luzerne county to at once ask the executive for protection to life and property. The resolutions were signed by Al-vin Markle and other prominent citizens of Hazleton.

Irving W. Stearns of Wilkesbarre sent a telegram to the Governor that it was absolutely necessary that troops be sent at once to the strike region to quell the lawlessness. MINERS' CONVENTION. e-lers Apparently t'nable to Whip th 3len Into Line. Columbus.O., Sept.

10. The miners aTe still talking in national convention about a settlement of the strike and reporters who hang about the doors outside, say the convention will run into tomorrow. The third day's session was called to order at a. m. At the Thursday after noon session two test votes were, taken that had their bearing on the question of accepting the proposition of the Pittsburg operators of rents per ton.

The resolution at stake was a proposition from Chris Evans to the effect that in the event of settlement that the work of organization was to be continued in the West Virginia fields and to give the results to the newspapers. A delegate called. for a division of the question and both were promptly voted dow n. In fact up to this time every proposition made- by the officers, who have proposed to settlement has been promptly shelved, the opposition to the settlement in a private way. claims to control two-thirds of the members of the'e'onvention.

A prominent man, one who has been instrumental in raising a large amount of aid for the starving miners in Ohio says the convention had better accept the proposition as it would in the future be almost an impossibility to secure farther contributions. A most exciting incident happened when a new delegate from Cecil. (the home of President Dolan presented his credentials. The delegate is a Frenchman and very bright and brought with hirn a from the local union emphatically declaring against accepting the UT cents offered by the Pittsburg operators. The leading of the letter nearly resulted In a rough and tumble fight and only a prompt explanation saved a most disgraceful scene on the floor of the convention.

President Dolan promptly declared the letter a lie. A delegate deliberately pulled off his coat, threw it on a chair, and in a vigorous language inquired, "Does the president mean to say that I am a liar?" "No," replied President Dolan; "but I do mean to say that the letter is a lie." 'That is all right as to the letter, but he must not say that I am a liar. As to the letter being a lie. Mr. Dolan can settle with the local union, wnen he returns home." For the time, the difficulty was avoided, but it clearly inlicated that even in the Pittsburg district, he feeling Is hot all for accepting the proposition of the The most Important resolution today provided for a 63 cent rate in the Pittsburg district, all other fields in the competitive districts to be at the same ratio.

The resolution was tabled. It would have covered all the states. A substitute is to be offered providing for the JT cent rate in the Pittsburg district, pure and simple. A larsre number of telegrams were received from Pittsburp labon leaders, urging the acceptance of the 63 cent rate. The telegrams state openly that the price is reasonable and ought to be accepted, and if not accepted that Public sympathy will be withdrawn and the miners left to fight the battle on their own resources.

The Young Man on the Train 3Ieant Well Hat he Was t'nfortunmt-The Ex From the Naw York Tribun. "Say, old man. you didn't meet Miss Hurley while here, did you?" This query was propounded ta a tall, robust-looking young man In the Grand Central station.

He was Just purchasing a seat in the Wagner car preparatory to taking the train for Cleveland. He fumbled over the change, picked up the ticket and put it in his mouth while adjusting his various traps, ahd then as clearly as the interfering ticket would allow: "Miss Hurley h-u-m no I guess I didn't meet her. What of it?" "Well, then, you missed it," said the first speaker, who had apparently dropped in to say goodby to the departing one. "You see she couldn't go to the reception at the house, and naturally you may have overlooked her at the church. Tall girl, brovn hair, eyes, red cheeks don't remember seeing her at the church, do you?" By this time the ticket was adjusted and the bags carefully arranged.

The ctlier said musingly: Interesting description no. don re member why "Oh. nothing." said the first speaker, 'enly she is going out on this train and thought she would make a good companion for the trip. She is a deucedly pretty girl, and clever, too. I told her you were going on this train, and also told her I would be up and introduce you.

I was afraid that I wouldn't get to see both of you here, however, and I told her if I failed to introduce you I would tell you about her give ycu her description, don't you know, and you could look her up on the train and introduce yourself. I don't see her anywhere. She must have gone through. Lock her up; you won't regret it." At this point a gong clanged announcing the closing of the gate. Hurriedly-picking up the bags, a last handshake and the young man out, calling back: "All right awfully kind of you.

Take care of yourself." With this somewhat vague description he hurried on the train, found his seat and deposited his traps. Then he recalled tho request imparted by his friend and began to look around the car In an interested manner to see if he could find the woman in question. The description given was decidedly vague, and, worse than that, when he began to rack his brain be couldn't for the life of him recall the name. Study as he could the fleeting name would not come. After tho first hour the journey became decidedly -notonous.

and he decided to make a rasli hazard anyway, especially as he saw a woman who just fitted the description as he recalled it. and who certainly had been looking at him in a half-appealing, half-interested way. Drawing himself together he walked over to her seat, lifted his hat. and said hesitatingly: "Er I think we know one another. I am Mr.

Bowden er a friend Mr. Hartley you know told me you were to be on the train and so I thought I would just introduce myself." During this little introductory speech tho woman had looked gravely interested, then smiled sweetly, murmured something about being so glad and made room for him beside her. He dropped into the seat and a desultory conversation began. He tt'ed by various means to get her in some way to refer to her name, but she apparently did not see his lead and steered clear of the issue gracefully. As he knew nothing whatever about her.

except the few words his friend had dropped, the conversation dealt largely in generalities. The wedding at which he had officiated as best man was gone over and discussed in detail. She showed a remarkable knowledge of the whole affair, and, on the whole, proved a delightful companion, although quite reserved about herself and her people. The journey wore on. and while the conversation was interesting nevertheless a vague uneasiness which he could not explain haunted him.

Finally, bedtime arrived, and when morning came the train was in the station at Cleveland. He had just, time to say "Good morning" and "Good-bye" as she tripped out of the car. "Duced funny she- didn't ask me to call or somethirg." he mused as he picked up lils traps- This puzzle was solved, however, as he was going out. Tao men walked into the car Just as a woman stepped out of the stateroom. "There is Miss Hurley now." ejaculated one of them.

Like a flash the name came back to the young man. He looked up and saw the girl in the stateroom regarding him intently, but with no glimmer of interest or cordiality. He dashed from the car and muttered: "Well, I'll be Perhaps a ful'er explanation of the mystery was couched in a brief note received by Mr. Hartley a few days later. It wai signed by "Edith Hurley," and the interesting extract was: "I can't say that I have much respect for your friend, Mr.

Bowden. He ignored me entirely all the way after what you told him and struck up an acquaintance with that Miss Glen-clcnning you know what she is how did she ever invited to the wedding? actually picked her up on the train and talked to her in the most brazen manner the whole way." Hartley was somewhat mystified, but a telegram received put matters right. It was- frcm Bowden and read tersely: "Description fitted the wrong woman." Polinn of Mosquitoes.

ex-quarterback of the Iowa Stat University foot ball team, arrived in Topeka yesterday to coach tne Washburn football team curing the coming season. "When will practice begin?" was asked of Mr. Coldren by the Capital reporter. "Next Monday," replied the powerfully built little man who was the star of thv champion football team of the Kansas-Nsbrji ska-Missouri-low league last year. "Wo will do all the practice we can with the men who are already here before school begins, and by the time all the students arrive we will have things going so that there Will be no delay la getting the available material out for work." Mr.

Coldren was dressed In a light brown suit, a. negligee shirt, and a soft felt hat. His eyes are dark and piercing and his shoulders are Immensely broad. He is built on the "ground plan." not being over five feet, seven or eigTit in height. He seerns to be a man of great muscular development.

"I have met several of the last year's Washburn team," said Mr. Coidren. "and they look like good material. Hughes is a very promising looking man, and I understand that he did some good line hitting last year. He looks like a man In last year's Iowa team.

White- and Wylie-are powerful men who are big enough for any team. Bishop is a big youngster who we can count on for a lot of good work in the line. I am anxious to meet Stewart. Stahl. Neil and Harrison, and the rest of the boys.

I think we can pick a team this year which will bring a great deal of glory to Washburn." Mr. Coldren thinks that the Iowa team will not be as strong as it was last year. "All the big and well known Iowa mea have graduated this year, with the exception of four or five und two of these are out of school coaching other teams," ho stated. Renlt at New York. New York.

Manchester, in Adams county, has a colored base ball nine that have been beating everything in southern Ohio, says the Ohio State Journal.

Not long since they sent word to West Union, the county seat of that county, that they wished to arrange for a game with the colored boys of that place. Although West Union has no regularly organized nine the challenge was; accepted. A team was gotten together and put into practice. The day for the game arrived and the two teams met on th'? fair ground. The West Union boys had several players in their team who had never been in a match game and knew as little about the rules as they did about playing.

One of them was Pete Johnson, a tall, raw boned darky, who was asi-iun-el to hold down first base. Pete's hands Wilt- as big us barn door, and when lie opened them out it looked us if it were impossible for a. ball to pass him. The guine was called und the visitors took thf bat. The first man up hit an easy little pop-up to first base.

Pete got uiivier it. It fell plump into his open hands, bill lioMUCed out and lolb.d to one side. Tin batter reached his bas Pete picked the ball, and. stepping up to the bae, hit the runner on the buck with the hand containing the ball and almost knocked the breath out of him. He stood holding the ball, apparently waiting for the runner to vacate the base.

Presently he said: "You'se out, nlgpah." "Naw, 1 isn't out, nuther," replied the runner. "Mistah niggah. I sez you'se out," re-roated the burly first baseman. "Naw, I isn't out," protested the runner "I wuz on my bare when you touched me." "An you sez you Isn't out?" "Course I isn't out, man. You fro de ball to de pitcher." The umpire called out that the man Was safe, but Pete took no heed.

He ran his hand down into his pants pockets and drew out an ugly looking razcr. Striking a menacing attitude, he again directed his attention to the runner, md said: "Mistah niggah, I sez once mo' out. Now isn't you out?" and he opened "the blade of the razor. "Yessir, yessir," replied the now thoroughly frightened runner. "I se out.

There were from twenty-three to twenty-five in the smoker and he docs r.ot think more than eight got out alive, all the remainder being cremated. As the day coach was immediately behind the smoker he thinks there were frcm thirty to thirty-five in it and to best knowledge only two succeeded in making their escape.

Coroner Dr. Clark says that only ten bodies have- so far been, taken from the burning train.

These, with Keenan and Holland, Hines and Gordon make fourteen in all, but there is no doubt that more perished. The most conservative estimate pifces the list of dead at from twenty-live to thirty-five. The remains of what is supposed to be ten persons are confined in two caskets with nothing to identify them and it is said they will be buried here tomorrow or Sunday. THE LUETGERT TKIAL. Another Day Devoted to Expert Testimony In the Sinrder Case.

Chicago, Sept. 10. There was considerable progress made in the Luetgert triai today. The day was devoted to the hearing of. expert testimony ami it was shown tl at thematter in the crevice of the pocket knife given by the alleged inm leiet his former sweetheart, Mrs.

Feldt, on the ec of arhest, consisted cf blood and particles of muscular tissue. The state has attempted to establish tha the particles of bone, flesn and organic taken fiom the vat and cennectin siuice had Ai one time been the portions o'-' a human body, but though their experts readily assented to the proposition t'o stuff resembled the flesh and bore of the human Primal they refused to deny upon cross examination that it bor an equal resemblance to the flesh and bone of any other warm blooded animals who eat similar feed. The three experts Who testified wte Prof. Mark Delatontaine, teac-u-r of chemistry in a Chicago high schoDl; rrof. Walter S.

Haines, professor of chemistry in the Rush Medical college, and George Vincent Railey, osteologist of Field Columbian museum. Prof. Delafoiitaine, whose examination was begun yesterday was the first witness placed on the stand by the state. The almost inaudible tones of the professor were barely heard beyond the stenographers and hardly a word could be distinguished by the jury. The w-'tness identified several bits of bon-.

which he had received from Inspector Schaa'; asserting that the particles were taken from the slim. Which was designated as being the residue taken from the sluice lmdlng from the vat. After a few minutes of 'oning. the witness positively identified fi? lilts of bone as human, asserting that they were portions of joints from fingerf and toe3. Tliis is one of the most Important facts which the state expected to establish.

It produced no effect on the equanimity of the prisoner, who Nlted back in his chair, wearing his usual expression of interest, but betraying no emotion, as lie listened loselv to the testimony. THUNDER" ROARS. Denounces the Bank cf "England for Its Allegpil Action in Favoring Silver. London. Sept.

The Times this morning, in an article from a special correspond nt. in whose accuracy it says it has reason to place confidence, makes the Important announcement that the Rank of England's directors have consented to hold one-tifth of the bank's reserve in silver. The Times, commenting editorially on what it calls "Dramatic Surprises." says the astonishment of the public will be immeasurably greater than at trie action of the India council. The editorial continues: "This revolution in policy, for it is nothing less that our correspondent describes, applied to the stock of coin and bullion held in the issue department as security for the bank notes. Peel's act forbids the bank to hold more than onefourth silver.

The business community will hope that the directors may be able to show our Informant that he is mistaken. silver would quite useless, for nobody, after witnessing the recent headlong fall in price, would dream of regarding it as anything but an eligible quantity in such connection. "The bank's credit is certainly tror.S' erousrh to bear the additional strain without ever winehig: but why sr.cr.M it be subjected thereto? If the government is responsible for the measure, it mieht have found some less objectionable so; to throw to the American commissioners or the bimetallisms anorg the ministerial supporters, or whomsoever it may be that has to he conciliated. It would have been preferable to adept the officially re peated suggestion to cease eoirir.r half i seven ins in order to secure a greater; wou1 1 have been inconvenient, but I no positively handful. The measure now I sa ill to be contemplated can only create' a temporary vacum in the silver market, which will inevitably be rapidly fined by 1 the practically inexhaustible supplies of' available.

It is needless to with the mechanical difficulties, such as the ques- tion of value of the siiver now standing in the bank's books, or the course to be i prisued when large-withdrawals of gold raise the proportion of silver above These are mre details which shrink before the of the principles involved. M'o hope the directors will speedily explain." nrry County G. A. K. Newton.

F. Cockran of Cottonwood Falls. He mad an eloquent spech nd uroused great enthuiasn- car, smoker, day coach, chair car and twc sleepers. It was manned by Conductor Hawthorne; T. brakeman; Billy Gordon, engineer Bob Holland, fireman.

Engineer Ostrander and Fireman 1 lines manned the Midland freight engine, and Conductor Burbank had charge- of the train. The train dispatcher claims to hfve given orders correctly, but the freight conductor presumed to have looked at the wrong Column and -instead of stopping at Silt, live miles west of here, he came Oil fast to the scene of the collision, which Is a rather sharp turn in the ro id, and where two previous wrecks have occurred. The freight train consisted of cars, the first three being loaded witii horses, the next car laden with fruit, and the balance f.lled with cattle." The freight engine" tore through the passenger enxine ui to the bell. On the passenger train were about 200 people, about evenly divided berveen reaches. In the smoker next to the exorods car were about thirty.

The crash wss followed by an explosion, flames shot up frcm the ruins and in a short time. the wreckage was a burning mass. The groans 1 "ind cries from the imprisoned passenfrs were heart rending. Those of the more fortunate who escaped injury set to work rescuing those who Were caught in the wieck. The number of those who perished is conservatively estimated at thirty.

The railroad company is doing everything possible to relieve the suffering. A DKATfl TRAP. The accident occurred at the worst possible point. Two minutes running time either way would have avoided the wreck as each engineer could have seen the ap-piCach Of the other train. The trains collided on a curve or bend, around a mountain and there was no opportunity to avoid the wreck, or even to slacken the speed.

The surviving trainmen say the trains were not running fast but the facts seem to be that both the passenger and the freight were going at full speed about twenty miles an hour for the passenger and the freight ten or twelve. The Rio Grande Junction road, on which the wreck occurred, is a joint track operat-f 1 by the Denver and Rio Grande and Colorado Midland companies. It is a single standard gauge track, seventy-seven miles long, running from New Castle to Grand Junction, connecting the two roads with the Rio Grande Western. The road follow? the Grand river and nearly all the way there are high bluffs on one side of the tiack and the stream on the other, it being from fifteen to tw-nty feet below the put face of the track. The Rio Grande passenger train was due at New Castle at 11:05 p.

and should have reached the point one and one-half miles beyond New Castle, where the accident occurred, al 11:10. The train must therefore have been a least one hour late as the accident occurred at 12:13 a. m. One report as to the cause of the aeci dent Is to the effect that Conductor Bur-bank of the Colorado Midland stock train made a mistake of ten minutes in figuring on the time when the Rio Grande passenger train passed New Castle and that therefore he was chiefly responsible for the disaster. W.

L. Hawthorne, conductor of the passenger train, was in the smoking car at the time of the collision and was thrown about and severely bruised. He says that the flas cylinder under one of the wrecked cars exploded and everything appeared to be in flames within a short time. He says tht he does not think that more than two or three passengers in the tinoker were burned to death, but will not say there were not more than this number. The passengers iu the day coach fared the worst.

Out of twenty-nine people in that coach, only six are now known to have escaped. As in all similar accidents, the engine mn were first to Iosp their lives. Kngin-eer Ostrander went down with his hand on the lever. Robert Holland, fireman on the passenger, was so badly hurt that he died at 5 o'clock. Engineer Gordon of the passenger may live, although lit- is badly injured and at first was thought to fatally hurt.

He suffered great pain from a rupture, in addition to other injuries. He was thrown overa barb wire fence by the force ol the collision. Hines. tho Midland fireman, was so badly hurt that the doctors who examined him at 5 o'clockvsaid he could not recover. He was shockingly burned, but bore his pain bravely.

MESSENGERS ESCAPE. Two express messengers on the Rio Grande paved their lives, but their escape was a thrilling one. They were James C. Foley and W. S.

Mesmer. both of Denver. They had piled up the through bagprap? In one end of the ear and were busy with the cases in th other end when the shock came. They were pitched headlong about the car and when it toppled over they were stunned and bruised by tin-loose bagsrasre. It several nvnuies before they wer able to aid themselvs.

when the car commenced to till wiih smoke and death by burning or suffocation seemed their fate. They realized their position and began a battle with an axe to liberate themselves. Finally, as the car burst into fames, they saw daylight through the hole they were cutting and by the aid cf someone outside they were able to pull themselves through, bruised and bleeding, but still Alex Hartman of Hersher. 111., has both leg- broken and can not live. His wife and two children were the first of the dead to be removed from the wreckair.

MIs rvarl Cornell of Oregon had her lee broken. This lady was returning from a visit to friends east and was in a collision at Clen Falls. Idaho, while on her way east. At 3:40 a. m.

another special relief train was sent from Glenwood Springs, whre the news of th wreck caused great excitement. Neighborhood ranch houses were ued Tor the reception of th Injured nnd all did what they could to help. Superintendent Choate and officers of the Rio Grande have flnn everything possible to relieve the suffering-. The track will not be clear before tomorrow night and paengers will have to transferred around the wreck. At least two cars of stock were wrecked nnd the road strewn with dead animals.

GltOULS AT WORK. Some excitement was occasioned by two Italian attempting to break open trunks taken Trom the bnsrgage car. Marshal Pierson shot at and thinks lie hit him. The nth-r. Nick Fiek.
