AN ILL-FATED CIRCUS.
The John Robinson Show Has Dreadful
Railroad Accident.

ST. PAUL, Oct. GA terrible accident
happened on the Fergus Falls branch of the
Northern Pacific Railroad seven miles west
OF here this morning, by which five men lost
their lives and thirty or forty more were
more or less injured. John Robinson's show
LEFT Wappleton, Dakota, for this place in
two sections. When within seven miles Of
Fergus Falls, near q small place named
French, The head Of the baggage section
broke In two while going up heavy grade,
and ten or twelve cars went flying back at a
terrific rate. On the rear train were three
sleeping cars, occupied by workmen, over
$50 In number, all Of whom were sound
asleep and not aware of the impending dan
ger. The cars which had broken loose
increased their speed as they approached the
second or cage section, and probably had
run mile before they struck 1t. The engi-
neer Of the rear section saw the cars
approaching, but only had time to stop his
train before they struck him. The brakes
men on the loose cars tried to put on the
brakes, but they had difficulty In running
from car TO car on account of the wagons,
which impeded their progress. Had the
engineer of the rear section only another
moment Of time, he could have backed bis
train and avoided the calamity; but IL was
too late, and the cars struck his engine with
tremendous force, throwing the sleepers
from the track and smashing them beyond
recognition. The result was soon apparent.
More than hundred men we're buried in
the debris. The scene can hardly be de-
scribed. The night was fearfully dark and
the groans of the men were appalling. The
people in the rear section at once began TIE
work Of rescung the unfortunates, five of
wounded and bleeding. Word was at once
dispatched to this city, and a train in charge
of Supt. Vining at once fastened TO the
scene, and the dead and wounded were
brought to this place. The work of remov-
ing the men from the debris was q sorry
task. A man alive and uninjured was taken
from under two dead ones, and it was sim
ply miracle that he escaped. Following

Oregon, antecedents unknown; Jas. Wilson,
Cincinnati; Samuel Blair, Colfax, Washing
ton Territory; antecedents unknown. A car
Is expected from Brainard to remove the
wounded to that pluce. The coroner will
hold an inquest tomorrow morning, but it
Is evident that no one is to blame, and that
1t was simply an unavoidable accident.

Organized Smugglers,

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 2.-The customs de.
partment here has discovered that regularly
organized system Of smuggling along the
st. Lawrence has been carried on for some
time past, In which those taking part have
resped large profits: Coal oil Is the princi-
pal article which is now being struggled
into Canada from New York State. Those
engaging in the enterprise have their regu-
lar customers, who at night leave large cans
outside the door which they find full in the
morning, the oil costing them only about
one-half of what they have to pay Canadian
dealers. This traffic is now being carried
on in all principal Canadian towns along
the st. Lawrence frem Coteau to Kingston.
Dominion officials complain that since the
recent change in the number of United
States customs officials along the border,
they are unable to get any assistance on
that side of the line in catching guilty

Coal Miners Strike

s CHEYENNE, Oct. lat 0 o'clock this

struck and all work ceased. The Carbon

NO ONE TO BLAME.
Could Not Find Any Indictments In the Rock
Springs Massacre.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. THE grand
jury of Sweetwater county found no indict-
ments against the Rock Springs rioters. 1t
made the following report: eve have dill
gently inquired into the occurrence at Rock
Springs on the I'd day of September last,
and though we have examined q large num-
Der Of witnesses, no one has been able to
testify to single criminal act committed by
any known white person on that day. What
ever crimes may have been committed there
the perpetrators thereof have not been dis
closed by the evidence before us; and there
fore, while we deeply regret the circum-
stances, we are wholly unable, acting under
the obligations of our oaths, to return in
dictments. We have also inquired into the
causes that led to the outbreak at Rock
Springs. While we find no excuse for the
crimes committed, there appears 10 be no
doubt Of abuses existing that should have
been promptly adjusted by the railroad COM
pany and Its officers. If this had been done,
the fair name of our Territory would not
have been stained by the terrible events OF
the I'd Of September" The Union Pacific
Company is now employing Mormons at its

to be desperate characters, and extra pre-

Department Of Justice, Office of the So.
licitor Of the Treasury, Washington, d. c.,
July 3, 1SS5.-To the Honorable, the Secre-

evidence taken on the investigation made
under the authority of the former Director
of the Mint into certain charges preferred
by John p. Donaldson against X. u. Harri-
son, U. s. Assayer at Helena, Montana.
The charges are numerous, involving the
fitness Of Mr.. Harrison 10 continue TO hold
bis important office. They are denied seridtim
under oath. large amount of testimony
sas taken on both sides.
To justify his suspension, however, on
charges, the evidence should be clear and
satisfactory. The testimony against him Is
not Of this character. 1t is In many respects
contradictory In the principal points involved
In the charges. 1t does not satisfy me that
Mr.. Harrison's conduct has been such as to
show an intent to disregard the duties Of his
office, or that the interests of the govern
ment are in any way imperiled.
suggest, therefore, that no further action
be had in the premises.
Very respectfully,

Another Mormon Wall.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-James I'll. Hart, the
New York agent Of the Utah Emigration
Society and an elder Of the Mormon Church,
said this morning: "The present action Of
the courts In Utah Is simply persecution.
All kinds Of means have been devised during
the past fifty years TO solve the problem Of
what 10 called 'Mormonism.' This Is only
another phase Of 1t. 1t 10 acknowledged by
the best Of lawyers that the Edmunds act
virtually annuls the FIRST amendment to the
Consultation, which prohibits Congress from
passing any acts interfering with the free
exercise Of religion. We believe this has
been revealed to NJ from God, and we can
not disobey His laws. Beecher said few
days ago that IL The Bible was true, Nor
monism was right. We believe In the
Christian Bible. We will contest the Ed

Type Setting Machine.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The Worlds WASH
ington special says: Richard Smith, of the
Cincinnati Gazette, Haldeman, of the Louis.
vile Courier Journal, VIM. Ii. Smith and
Melville E. Stone, of the Chicago Ne,cs, are
investors in the new type setting machine,
for which much is claimed. They held an
important meeting here, and the invention
which has been SO long perfecting, and
which it IS said will revolutionize type
setting, will soon be practically introduced.
1t has been claimed that any one capable of
using a :ype.writng machine will be able to
set type, and stereotype at the same time,
the type required for printing newspapers.
1t is very Ingenious. and will undoubtedly
be useful in printing book work, circulars
and copying legal documents, but there Is .
very serious question among some of the
stockholders as to whether 1t will meet the
requirements of modern newspaper publica-
tions.

CABLE TARIFF WAR.
The Rates Likely to be Materially Lessened.

The Rates Likely to be Materially Lessened.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-The London managers
of the Atlantic cable companies In the pres
ent pool will meet In this city next week. 1t
Is positively stated that the object of the
meeting is to arrange for the reduction Of
the present cable tariffs between England
and the United States from "a to - cents on
commercial messages. and from IL to @ cents
on press messages. The directors of the
English companies In the pool are said to be
all in favor of making the proposed reduc-
tions. They take the ground that the oppo.
sition of the Mackay. Bennett cables must
be ended by humiliation. This opposition,
1t is argued, has already made the pool divi-
denGs so small that the shareholders will
consent to sacrifice them entirely for a time
in the war of rates that will either break
down the opposition or compel it to join the
pool, and will result eventually in raising
the tariffs all around and In an eventual in
crease of the pool dividends. The Ameri-
can pool directors, on the other hand, are
said to be less willing to consent to the pro-
posed reductions, and will be quite timid
about entering into q war OF rates. They
profess to be uncertain about the outcome
Of such war, and up to date have not been
induced to consent to 1t.
