caused By a family row anon some OF
the Eastern lines which decline TO accept
the pro rata allowed them by the pool on
lumber shipments from the South. They
claim that they are dae an advance in
lumber rates from Louisville and Cincin-

A Terrible Wreck.

Dillon Examiner: About daylight on
Thursday morning fatal accident oc-
CURED on what IS known as Cache hill,
ON the southern division of the Utah &
Northern, under the following clrcum-
stances, as related by gentleman who
arrived in this city yesterday morning
1t appears that freight train was coming
north in two sections, and as the first sec
ton crossed the summit of the hill, the
engineer called for brakes. The hind
brakeman complied and the train pulled
in two. The front half was stopped and
the two brakemen, McCabe and man
whose name was not learned, were coup
ling up the tram, while Conductor Gail
braith was in the caboose. The second
section came over the hill and started
down around the curve, crashing into the
rear end of the first section, making hor.
rible wreck, and killing Gailbraith and
McCabe, while the other brakeman es
capped with slight injury.

A Stay of Execution Granted.

The application made for supersedeas
in the case of the condemned Chicago
anarchists, before Judge Scott, of the Ill
inols supreme court, last week, resulted
in its being granted. The effect of the
order for the supersedeas will be to stay
the execution at least until the full bench
of the supreme court has passed upon the
question raised for new trial. 1t is es-
timatcd that in the ordinary course of
procedure hearing and decision cannot
be reached for six or eight weeks, and
that even if the lower court is sustained,
the sentence cannot be carried out until
some time in March or April. The news
was received by the condemned anarchists
quietly, with some expressions of pleasure,
but few of surprise. They treated the
supersedeas as matter of course, and
said little except to intimate an increasing
belief that the Illinois supreme court
would grant them a new trial.

Arrested for False Pretenses.

VIM. L. Dustan, of the insolvent Miles
City Dressed Beef company, has been ar
rested upon the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, in that he
had made draft for $50 on the Stock
growers National bank Of Miles City
under the signature of the company,
knowing that there were no funds of the
company on deposit in the bank, and that
the company itself was insolvent, as it
had previous to that time confessed judg
ment in the sum of $4,000, in favor of
Wm. Dustin & Co., of Lincoln, Illinois,
and the execution had been issued. This
is an outgrowth of the case where Dustin
s. Hough failed at Miles City, and Dustin
s. Co.'s bank at Lincoln, Illinois, made
an assignment for the benefit of eastern
creditors, leaving those at Miles City out
IN the cold.

Terrible Mine Explosion.

Shortly after the miners had entered
the Conyngham shaft, near Wilkesbarre'
Penn, on Friday morning of last week, an
explosion Of gas took place. The explo-
sion was the most serious that has occurred
in the antracite region this year, and 1t IS
known that forty-two men were severely
burned, and others slightly injured.
Twelve of the men were so badly burned
that is believed they cannot recover.
The scene at the colliery while the
men were being taken from the shaft
was terrible. A crowd of several hundred
people had gathered at the mouth of the
shaft, among them the mothers, wives and
daughters of the injured men. AS they
were taken out of the shaft they were
taken to the engine house and the
| women made desperate efforts to gain en-
trance. Their entreaties and frantic dem
| onstrations of grief were heartrending,
but they were sternly kept outside the
building while the blackened, scorched
and bleeding victims of the disaster were
wrapped in bandages soaked in oil. The
floor of the engine house was covered
with writhing humanity, SO disfgurcd as
to be unrecognizable. AS fast as possible
they were taken TO the hospital and to
their homes, and so rapidly was the wolk
done that by 8 o'clock every ono had
been taken out and carried away.

the destroyed hut. The story is told
as follows by an illegitimate son OF
Warns, aged ten years, whom his reputed
father had threatened and made mad.
The boys story is that the ladies were first
outraged by Warns, who then proceed
ed to cut from ear to ear the throats OF
each of the eight persons, and that his
mother then dragged the bodies to the
middle of the room and set them on fire.
They also fired the house, took some bed
clothing and other articles and departed
On the boys statement arrests and in IN
vestigation followed and articles known
to have belonged to the Poes were found

and are now in the Barbourville Jail
