CRUSHED BY A SNOW SLIDE.

Thrilling Experience of Work Train and
Its Occupants on a Colorado Railroad
Several Workmen Seriously Injured and
One Killed.
DENVER, Col, April ia work train
on the High Line division of the Denver 4
South Park Road left Wheelers yesterday
for Kokomo, where the company has been
at work for nearly ten days tunneling
through the snow blockade. Some sixty
laborers were riding on fat cars. While
the train was running through cut
where the snow lowered thirty or forty
feet above the train, the freman's elbow,
which protected from the window of the
cab, graZed the soft snow and in an instant
a huge avalanche of snow, powders and
gravel came laundering down, knocking
the fireman off the cab, and brushing
off the laborers from the cars to the OPP
posite bank and burying them. The en-
gineer was unhurt and quickly brought
the train TO stop. Those wno were un.
hurt went to work at once with shovels
to rescue the unfortunates, and the en-
CINE was sent 10 Breckenridge for rein
forcements and physicians. Only one
man, Charles Kans, was killed outright.
He was forced from the cars and ground
beneath the weels. The wounded are:
james Mac Mahon, fireman; severely in
jured internally and externally.
John Holligan, both legs broken and
badly crushed about the hips.
c.. S. Rhode, external injuries.
c. S. Baker, breast and side crushed.
These men, it is thought will die. A
large number received injuries which,
although painful, are not necessarily
fatal.

A CELESTIAL RAISING.

Terrible Explosion at a Chinese Laundry
Four of the Inmates Killed and One Fa-
tally Injured-The Parties Suspected OF
the Deed.
ANACONDA. Mont, April l7.-This
city was shaken yesterday by terrible
explosion. Hardly had the sound died
away ere another explosion, much louder
than the first, brought the Inhabitants to
their doors, trembling with fear. They
thought at first that an explosion had oc-
Cured in the smelter, but soon learned
that Chinese wash-house Immediately
adjoining the California restaurant, on
Front street, had been blown up and the
inmates horribly mangled.
-Four of the six Chinese who were IN
the building are dead, one other will die,
and one escaped unhurt. Giant powder
was the explosive used. The house is a
complete wreck. Windows in the
vicinity were shattered, and stones were
found on the roofs OF buildings two blocks
away. Some time ago two wood chop
pers broke open the house, hurled two
beer kegs through the windows, beat the
Cinnamon and stole some clothes. They
were arrested, and two of their number
sent to the Penitentiary. They escaped,
and it is supposed the fiendish deed was
done by them. The police are in pursuit
and If captured they will probably bG
lYnched.

men came from Harold and Blunt, and,

lawyer, formerly of Mt. Sterling, H., on
December 4th last.
The jSiler and his deputy, who were
sleeping in the building, were corralled
in their room. The lynching did not
take more than fifteen minutes, at the
end of which time the Sheriff arrived
from the hotel aud cut down the victim,
the mob dispensing at his approach.
When seized Bell cried "murder" three
times before his voice was stifed, and
once more when the rope was put over
his head. No attempt was made to harm

His Creditors Mourn to Heavy Tune.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Augustus Hack
ter, manufacturer of linen collars and
cuffs at No. SOC Broadway, VINO made an
assignment on April 9TH, has not been
been seen by his creditors since, and they
believe he has gone to Canada. His
friends admit that he has left the city,
and is not in this State, as warrants Of
arrest have been obtained against him
by creditors. His liabilities will exceed
100000, and the prospects of the gen.
eral creditors receiving anything
appear to be slim, as the day
before the assigning he confessed
judgments to relatives for $50, 900, which
cover all assets in this city, and also at
Troy, N. Y, where his factory was locat-
ed. Since the failure some very singular
transactions have come tc light. 1t has
been learned that he borrowed all the
money he could from friends on various
pretexts up to the time of his failure, and
1t is stated that he has borrowed S225, 900
from relatives ostensitly to use in bust.

A Russian Bark Run Down at Sea.

HALIFAX, N. s., April 1.-THE steamer
Maine, from New York to Bremen, with
a general cargo and $50 passengers, ar
rived here yesterday with her bows dam
aged. When four days out from New
York she came into collision with the
Russian bark Kalaia, from the West
Indies for Havre, loaded with logwood,
striking her just abaft the mizzen rigging.
The steamer cut clean through the bark,
the latter's stern going on one side and
the bow on the other. The man at the
bark's wheel was lost. The night was
dark, but clear, and the water was
smooth. The Captain of the bark and
crew were shown every kindness on
board the steamer.

CHICAGO ELECTION FRAUDS.
A Thorough Investigation to be Made by
the Grand Jury.

the Grand Jury.
CHICAGO, ILL, April 2l.-The County
Grand Jury was impaneled yesterday,
the principal work before the body be-
ing the investigation of the fraud al
legged to have been committed at the re-
cent municipal election In charging the
Jury with the responsibilities of its
members, Judge Moran called their at
tention to certain interference with the
ballots of voters, which, according to
statements made to him by State Attor-
ney Grnnell, would be investigated
by this body. He said there was
no crime more serious in its results than
that of interfering with the franchise of
the people. "The community can better
afford to have burglars carry on their
nefarious work in its mi st than it can
for the voice OF the people to be stihed.
1t can better afford to have its banks
robbed than its ballots. There is no
thief so bad as the william who seeks to
destroy the honest result of free bal
lot. 1t is necessary that a ballot
when deposited honestly should be
honestly handled by those who
have connection and are intrusted
with It. The safety of our community
depends on the honesty and safety of the
ballot"
The jury then began an investigation
covering the Third Ward ballot box rob-
berry.
At last evenings meeting of the City
Council motion to proceed to canvass
the ballots of the late municipal election
was lost, but after long debate the mat
ter was made a special order for next
Monday night.

VAN NoUsKrs ILL HEALTH.


ST. PETERSBURG, April l9.-General
Van Nouski Russian Minister of War, it
is stated, is suffering from i'll health, and
desires to retire. General N. Obroutchefi
is named as his successor. General Van
Nouski belongs to the peace party in St.
Petersburg. 1t is not generally believed
that he is really ILL., 1t is suspected that
if he retlres it will be in Difference 10 the
war party, which seems 20 be getting
control of the Russian policy. General
Obroutcheff is thoroughly in sympathy
with the war party, and his assumption
of the control of the war office would un-
doubleday be indicative o: the adoption
of a warlike policy by the Gar.
SOME HOPE YET.
ST. PETERSBURG, April l9.--The Jour
nal de st. Petersburg regrets that the En-
glish press has not initiated the modcra-
ton of the Russian papers, and hopes that
courteous, If not amicable, tone will
govern the press of both countries in the
discussion of the differences between the
two empires, which. the Journal believes
will be settled if kept free from party
passion and violent language.
