About one hundred cowboys tagged a
Northern Pacific train near the Little
Missouri. and came aboard bent on little
fun. They made the passengers, inclua-
ing a number Of ladies, dance and stand
on their heads. An obeyed except the
conductor, who refused to compromise
his dignity. To teach him better man
ners the cowboys shot around his feet
hitting them once or twice, inhicting sew
ere wounds. No robberies were commit
ted as they were only after little sport.
Fun is fun, but theie is nothing amusing
in making lady stand on her head--to

of severely Furnishing the wretchcs that
engage in such outrageous performances
They ought to be taken out aud branded

A Wilkesbarre Pa.) special of the
18th says A terrible accident hap
pcncd at the IIillman VEN Mine. in the
northern part of this city. this morning.
The journal Of the " fan" which sup
plies the mine with air became over
heated, neceSSitatlng stOppage Of the
machinery. The mine is very
''gassy one, and the gas began to
accumulate rapidly as soon as the
fan stopped. Harry jenkins, miner,
entered one Of the gangways with
his naked lamp, and terrific eIplo-
sion followed. James Solomon was
thrown with great force against the
gangway, and sustained fatal injuries.
O'Donnell Richards had a leg and arm
broken and is probably fatally burned.
John 0'Donnell'S head was cut and his
ribs broken, and he is probably fatally
injured. The following were badly
burned about the face and hands !:
Harry Dunstan, Henry Griebel, VIII
liam EuStace, Harry jenkins, Viii
liam Reed. Thomas ID. Jones, Thomas
:. Jones. John Williams, and Michael
Clark. Physicians were summoned as
soon as possible, and the wounds of the
injured men, who suffered intensely,
were dressed. The inside workings Of
the mines were damaged TO aconsidera-
bic extent and the loss will be considers-
bic. Three hundred men were employed
in the mines, but all escaped with the
exception of those mentioned.

CRTELTT 10 CONTICTS.
Trsa'mest tLata Prison Director Dc,s Nsr
Deem Inhuman.

A Hartford Comm special SAYS
General Thomas McManuS. one Of the
directors of the Connecticut State pri-
son, appeared before the State-Prlson
Committee of the Legislature this after
noon. and said that the recent newspa-
per charges of cruel treatment to prls-
oners were not true. He cited the Smith
case. where a gag was alleged TO have
been used with fatal results, and SAID
that the man was insane and that
disciplinary measures were neceS-
sarv to silence his noise. Ander-
son. who was an insane prisoner, was
>howered and confined in cage, but
his treatment was within the rules, and
was not cruel. 4. :. llotchkiSS, a
journalist, said to the committee that in
the Smith case the report was that
Gag was tightened after 1t had been
strapped in the mans mouth for some
hours. and Smith was found dead the
next morning. He said that Officers
Pomcroy and Pond. now at the prison.
were familiar with the case. and, If
protected. would no doubt tell the COM
mittee what the facts were. Members
Of the jury Of inquest, who brought in
a verdict of death 10y cOnyulslonS,
might be able TO answer some qucS-
iionS. As TO the Anderson case, Mr..
lIotchkiSS said that the prisoner was in
a cage made of boiler-ron, and was
>howered from a hose held by man
outside from : o'clock IN the forenoon
till nearly noon. when he dropped like
4 dead man and was picked up insensl-
ble. George Miner. a convict. held the
hose By direction Of the warden. Miner
has since been released. hi, term having
expired. and Is employed at Mar
cy'S Shoc-lactory. opposite the prl-
son in WetherSiicld, and lives at
No. Elmer street, IN Hartford.
Director McManuS admitted the
facts as stated concerning Ander-
son TO be true. but insisted that they
were not cruel. Mr.. llotchkiss asked
the committee to pursue their nyeStiga-
ton thoroughly. and ascertain what the
directors define cruelty to be in the
treatment Of insane and helpless con-
vets. General McNanuS expressed a
desire to have the employees Of the pri-
son examined. aud the committee indi-
Gated its purpose to make a searching
inquiry.

A NOTED OUTLAW CAPTURED
An Iseitirg Chase for the Fugitive by n
sheraG's Posse.

A Malone special says: Peter Lc
Clair, who lives in the woods near Fort
Covington Centre, has been n terror to
the residents Of that part of Franklin
county for many years. He is known
TO have committed several crimes. and
is suspected Of many Others of dcs-
pefate nature. lie has been arrested
several times. and for some weeks past
has eluded officers who were in search
Of BIN with a warrant charging him with
committing q series of robberies in the
neiehborhood. lie Clair notified the
sheriff that he would not be taken alive.
lie has many hiding places in the noun
tains. but lives with his wife on a back
woods farm. Last week Sheriff Folsom
learned that I.e Clair had been driven
from the woods by the severe weather.
and that he had been seen at his house.
Accompanied by a posse. the sheriff
went to Fort COyington Centre. and
drove TO lie Clair's farm. The latter
was chopping wood in front Of his house.
When he saw the sleigh containing the
officers approaching he dropped his axe
and started across clearing on run
for the woods. The sheriff and his
pOsse went in pursuit. lie Clair's wife
loosened savage dog and set him on
the pursuing party. The dog overlook
the sherifi's party and attacked the men,
tlxnu-,,,fr sLran .f fh,V,, IN, H..
and rushed after the sheriff, who was in
advance Of the party. Before the dog
reached the officer the latter had sue
ceeded IN shooting lie Clair, who
dropped to the ground, apparently
badly wounded. A shot at the dog
sent it bowling back to the house. The
sheriff and his men assisted the outlaw
to the house. His wound was thought
to be serious, and the officer placed him
in the sleigh to convey him back to the
village. where he could have surgical
aid. While the men were putting on
their oyercoatS lie Clair suddenly sprang
from the sleigh and ran like Il deer
across another lot toward the woods.
Before any of the posse recovered from
their astonishment he was long dis
tance away. One of the officers jumped
into the sleigh and started the team on
a run after the fugitive. The field was
a piece of ncwly-clcarcd ground. filed
with logs. StumpS, and brush
heaps. and the horses made but
slight hcadway. Finally the sleigh
was upset by stump, and the
chase was continued on foot. lie Clair.
beinguSed to travelling over such ground,
steadily gained on his pursuerS, and
would 10 doubt have reached the woods
in safety. but he tripped in jumping
over a brush-heap, and. after rcganiny
his feet. fell again. This afforded his
pursuerS time to come within piStol-shot
of Le Clair. and bullets fell about him
50 thickly that he turned. threw up his
hands. and surrendered. He was firmly
bound, thrown into the sleigh. and
driven to Malone where he was lodged
in jail. His injuries proved to he mere
flesh wounds.

erer, was found in dying condition in
the mountains east Of here on Monday
by Daniel LambcrSOn. q foX-hunter
Turner'S flesh and garments hung IN
shredS, both of his eyes were ont, and
his whole face was mass of gasheS
and bruises. Before dying he told
IamGcrSon that on Sunday night he
went out to a snow cache where he had
some frozen game to get grouse
for his supper. On the way back to
his cabin he stumbled over large ami
nal which threw him down and hit him
in the face. instantly destroying his sight.
Turner had his heavy Spruce-knlle IN his
belt, with which he hacked and cut the
animal, sinking the dull, hook-shaped
blade deep into its body with the strength
which desperation gave him. After a
hard battle. the man and animal went
rolling down a steep hillside together.
through brambleS and among trees, un-
I'll Turner became unconscious. When
he revived his enemy was gone. but he
was entirely blind and too weak to
move. Iambcrson carried him to his
cabin. where he died at once. An un-
usually large black bear. which wa,
literally hacked in pieces about the
head and shoulders. was found dead in
the valley near where Iamberson dis
covered Turner. 1t is hard telling
whether the man or the bear got the
worst of the battle. Turner, father,
one Of Ethan Aliens brave "Grccn-
Mountain boys, was killed in the same
way about sixty year, ago.

The first day out she sprung aleak and
the pumps were at once set going and
were manned almost constantly up TO

spanker came down in heap.
The gale was bowling irightfully, and
the sea was running mOuntaIn-hlsh.
The captain was at the wheel, and kept
her steady before the wind. The ves-
sci would plunge down into the watery
pit and rise, quiyering and groanlng' on
the top Of the great waves. As the
spanker gave way it came with a
terrible crash and whirl TO the deck :;
the wheel broke from the grasp
Of the helmsman, and the captain was
thrown violently to the deck, narrowly
