Attemnt to Mraok 2 Trnin.

sEDALIA, Mo-, Oct 5.-An attempt was
made to wreck Missouri passenger train No.
d, which arrived here at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, being an hour late. The train
passed Greenwood, seven miles west of here,
without stopping and half mile east Of that
place Engineer Avery discovered short dis
tance ahead a man with torch, wildly sig
mailing to stop the train. The engine was re.
versed.and the air brakes applied and none
too soon, as only few. feet ahead were piled
in the center of the track number of rails,
ties, ETC., evidently placed there with viow
to wrecking the train, The Instructions were
removed and the train came on to this city.
The trainmen said nothing about the matter
here except to officials, and the latter arG
very reticent in regard to it. The case
has been placed in the hands of the secret
service force of the railroad, and the chances
are that the guilty parties will be appre
hended.

GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. 6.-Moritz Lasker,
prominent and we'll known business man
of this city, returned yesterday from trip
through the lrouth-ridden districts of Run
nels, Wilbarger, Brown, Coleman and other
counties. He reports that while there were
occasional instances of destitution, there
were no cases in which the necessaries of life
could not have been procured, had the par
ties suffering made proper application. Re-
sponsble citizens of the affected districts had
offered to endorse the notes of persons claim
ing to be iii destitute circumstances. The
greater majority, however, preferred to So
licit aims rather than make themselves re-.
sponsble for such advances. Mr.. Lasker
said instances were not uncommon where
persons owning thousands Of cattle had ap.
piled to the local relief committees in the
guise Of mendicants.

CONDITION OF MONTANA.
THE GOVERNORS ANNUAL REPORT
TO SECRETARY LAMAR.

Agriculture Has Been Almost Failure
and Not More Than half Crop Raised,
Owing to a Scarcity Of Water--A Great
Loss In stock Liable to Occur.
WASHINGTON, Got 6.-S T. Hawser, the
governor of Montana, in his annual report
to the secretary Of the interior, in regard to
the condition and affairs Of the territory,
states that agriculture has been almost fail
ure, and not more than half crop was
raised. The supply of water for irrigation
has been very scanty, and In consequence the
crops have suffered,
He says that if the desert land act 10 re-
pealed the construction of proper system Of
irrigating canals will be greatly retarded.
The grass on the ranges is scanty and should
the winter prove long and severe, great loss
In the herds of cattle must follow. Some Of
the large stock owners, in anticipation Of
such AN event, are driving their herds north
TO the British possessions.
The governor urges on the department as a
matter of urgent and exceptional Importance
the granting to soma of the'stockmen, the
privilege of pasturing their herds during the
coming winter on the extensive Indian reser-
vations north of the Missouri river and those
south of the Yellowstone Park.
The report states that the value of the
stock is probably $50, ,OOO, 900 and that great
loss would ensue if some step was not taken
to allow this pasturage to- be used, which
would otherwise be burned. He estimates
the number of cattle at 100000 head; horses,
l30, 900, and sheep 2000,000
The population is placed at 10000, an in
crease during the year of 10000.
The mines of silver and copper have not
been fully worked, owing to the low prices,
but the output Of the year was as follows:
Gold So, ,45O, ,OOO silver $0,6OO,OOO, copper So
JOO, 600, lead 81, ,25O,OOO Total S23, 300, O0O
The government states the necessity for the
free coinage of silver with gold is becoming
laily more evident,
He urged that the railroad lands be sur
veyed as rapidly as possible, in order that
they may be- taxed by the territory. He
protests against the report Of the desert land,
timber culture and presumption land laws,
as having tendency to retard the progress
of the territory, and adds that he does not
believe that per cent of the land entries in
the territory are fraudulent,

eREENWlcH,s ELECTION.
Incidents of Election Day, Which Resulted
in a Victory for License.


GREENWICH, Conn, Oct. 6-Opposite the
building in which the town election was held
yesterday great booth was erected Itwas
decorated with flags, and bright blue BAN
ner, on which was printed, in silver letters,
"For God, Our Country and Our Homes"
tapped in the breeze. Placards announced
that coffee and sandwiches would be served
free from the booth to all voters. Wealthy
ladies were behind the booth all day, and
served out many gallons of aromatic coffee
and passed over sandwiches with jeweled fin
gers to the voters The local restaurant
keepers were very angry, as this business
ruined their trade, but it did not seem to In
terfere at all with the saloonkeepsrs, whose
traffic it was intended to supplant. The
town has been excited over the local option
law, which was to be voted on. The friends
of no license gave the whole day to the work,
while the license people were equally Jealous.
In one of the local pulpits, a Columbia college
professor, who lives here, was denounced as a
man who had been hunting over the state of
Maine for rum
In the early afternoon two of the women
who were serving at the booth became salts
fed that the saloons were thriving notwith-
standing their coffee and sandwiches. Liquor
selling on election day is illegal, and these
women th ought it a farce to be urging the
passage Of a no-hcense law, while in days on
which the law is prohibitory, liquor selling
goes on as usual These women, therefore,
determined to see for themselves. They
were Mrs. Thomas Ritch, the wife of one Of
the wealthiest men in town, and Miss Jo-
sephine Lyons, sister-in-law of Commodore
Voorhees, Stealing by narrow lane to the
rear of a building in which liquor was being
sold, they entered the back entrance unob-
served, and sat in a secluded place. watching
the liquor selling and drinking. There was
so great a throng in the saloon that it was
some time before they were seen.
When they were observed they had gath.
cred evidence enough to prosecute and with
drew. The saloon was hurriedly closed and
the proprietor is alarmed. The penalty is
severe. Word was rapidly passed to 9th,
saloon-keepers and in very short time all
back entrances were closed, and the thirsty
had to wait until the close of the polls. Miss
Lyon asserts that she took this step because
so many temperance men of the town seemed
to be too cowardly to undertake it them
selves. Notwithstanding the coffee and sand
witches BOOTH the license ticket was carried
by a large majority.

The disposition of Geronimo.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-War department
officials say it rests with the president and
the secretary Of war, to decide whether Gen.
Miles report affords information sufficiently
definite to warrant official action, respecting
the disposition of Geronimo and his band
Gen Miles, it is said, has not been summoned
to Washington, nor has any action been
taken in the department looking to a court
Of equiry in the matter of deronimo's sur
render. It is understood that the governor
of Arizona has already made an official re-
QUESTION upon the governor of Texas for
Geronimo and his companions, in order that
they may be tried under civil laws for MUIR
der and other crimes committed in Arizona,
but this cannot be- done The Indians are
not in charge of the governor of Texas, and
the president must protect them, in accord
ance with the promises made by Gen. Miles.

THE TELEGRAPH COMPANIES.
The Baltimore & Ohio and Western Union
Not to Consolidate.

Not to Consolidate.
BALTIMORE Oct 6.-Three Of the highest
officials of the Baltimore g. Ohio telegraph
company were interviewed by a reporter
with regard to tho quarterday announcement
that the Baltimore & Ohio and the Western
Union had consolidated. President Robert
Garrett said: "There is absolutely no truth in
the statement that the Baltimore 81 Ohio has
amalgamated with the Western Union, or in
tends doing so. Equally unfounded is the
rumor that our telegraph lines have or will
be sold to Mr.. Pender, Of England, who, as
you are aware, is Western Union man"
General Superintendent Charles Selden
fatty denies that there has been consolida-
tion of interests and says that there has been
no pooling arrangement to which his COM
pany is party. He is going right ahead
building lines and increasing facilities.
DR.. Barnard, chairman of the executive
committee of the telegraph company, and
President Garrett's right hand man, said:
"Most emphatically, no. We are tired of de-
nying these rumors again and again. Their
constant reiteration becomes infuriating.
You may say positively, as coming from the
presidents office, there is not a word of truth
in any of these stories. There has been no
combination, consolidation, merger, sale, ar
rangement or agreement, and what is more,
there will be mons. There has been no sale
Of a controlling interest nor Of any securities
of the Baltimore & Ohio whatever Further
more, there have been no negotiations look
ing to a sale to Mr.. Fender or any agreement
that am aware Of, and surely would know
of it as chairman of the executive commit
tee. Ncr has the executive committee taken
any action lately that would account for
anything of the sort or for the advance in

Ell PAso, Tex, Oct. 5.-Deputy Customs
Inspector O'Farrell is stationed at the Amer
ican end of the bridge across the Rio GrandG
from El Paso to Paso Del Norte to guard
against the smuggling of goods. Deputy
United States Marshal Manning, who was
crossing the bridge in street car, saw men
ford the river half mile below from the
Mexican to the American side, carrying bur.
dens. Manning promptly informed the off,
cials, who started down the river bank
on the American side When near
the ford four Mexcans sprang from the
bushes fred three shots at O'Farrell and
fed. One shot pierced the crown of his hat
another ball went through the lapel Of hil
coat uncomfortably close to his heart. The
smugglers escaped. There is a very large in
crease of smuggling of late along the border.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
A Well-Digger Fastened In a Bed Of
Qulcksand for Seventeen Hours.

Qulcksand for Seventeen Hours.
NoRRIsTowN, Pa, Oct. 6.-John McCaul,
aged thirty seven years, escaped an awful
death, when he was slowly sinking for seven.
teen hours in a bed of quicksand at the bot
tom Of deep we'll Saturday afternoon Nc
Caul was assisting Don. Walters, neighbor,
in deepening well. After digging down a
little distance he struck a deposit of fine clay
which oozed into the we'll faster than he
could shovel it into bucket, which was then
drawn by means of a windlass to the top.
First one foot and then the other became
fast in the quagmire.
He felt himself sinking deeper and deeper,
but kept working with all his might at scoop.
ing the sand into the bucket. His cries
brought him prompt assistance. A rope
was fastened under his arms to drag him out
by means of the windlass but the sinking and
almost exhausted man shouted to those at
the top that they were tearing limb from
limb.
Beef tea and other stimulants were let
down to the almost famished and dying man
at the bottom of the well. At last crib was
lowered and placed around the imprisoned
McCaul, then hooks used for cleaning the
CRATE bars in rolling mills were sunk under
his feet, and by steady pulling on the wind
lass he was finally dragged from the terrible
clutches of the quicksand. 1t was Sunday
noon when he was rescued, just seventeen
hours after he called for help.
A great shout went up from the hundreds Of
people at the mouth of the we'll, drowning
the loud sobs OF McCaul's family, who re-
manned at the mouth Of the well. The mans
lower limbs were paralyzed, his finger nails
were worked to the quick from scooping up
the sand and his body was somewhat bruised
from the rope which passed around him. At
6 o'clock medical aid had so far restored him
that he was able to walk to his home

WITH the Red Skins.

With the Red skins.
Ell PLso, Oct 5.-News has bC received
hOre which confirms what has be Jared foR
several weeks, namely, that hostile
Apach mes are still out and that the capture OF
Geronimo did not end the Apache war.
Lieut. Davie, recently Of the United States
army, and son of the last Republican gov
ernor Of Texas, is now manager of the Car
ralito's ranch, state of Chihuhua, one Of the
largest in Mexico, and containing millions od
acres. Eight hostile Apaches raided thu
ranch Turing his ABSENCE and drove away
twenty mules. He started in pursuit, and
after following the thieves for several days
under the impression that they were "rust
lers,n came up with them only sixty miles
from this city, in the state of Chihuhua. Ha
was amazed to find that they were Apaches.
A sharp fight ensued in which many shotn
were exchanged, but none of the lieutenantt
party were seriously hurt. The Apaohes had
evidently been camping for months only
ninety miles from El Paso. Lieut.. Dawn
has had more experience in Indian fighting
than almost any man in the vicinity, and he
says that old Mangus was the leader of tha
braves. Mangus has been for twenty yeara
the terror of the border. He is regarded a.
far ADLER tactician than Geronimo, and 10
imbued with deep hatred Of the whites, hh
father, great chief, having been wantonly
murdered by white soldiers twenty Year,
ago. After the first fight the Indians fed,
and Lieut. Davis pursued them to within
twenty five miles of Ell Paso, where be
abandoned the trail, which led in this direo-
tion not, however, until he had learned that
Mangus had been joined by the three buclu
Of Geronimo's party, who escaped from Fort
Bowie. Lieut.. Davis thinks the hostiles ard
by this time in New Mexico, and that they
intend to make raid through New MexiOd
and Arizona and thence into Sonora.

A GREAT DEAL OF FRICTION OVER
THE INCREASE OF THEIR NAVY.

M Ricotti, the Minister Of War Resigns
Because the Government Would Not Inn

MIUister Phelps-Foreign News.
LONDON, Oct 6-There is a great deal Of
friction in the Italian cabinet in consequences
of NJ. Ricotti, the minister Of war, failing to
induce his colleagues to support his plan for
reducing from ten to three years the limit OF
time fixed in 1885 for completing the army
armament. NJ. Ricotti has been chiefly anx.
ious to hurry the manufacture OF rifles for
some new regiments Of infantry and TO in
crease the artillery equipment. NJ. Magliani,
minister Of finance, threatened to resign il
NJ. Ricotti's plan was accepted, stating that
he preferred taking such step to ''aving his
budget ruined.
The question being brought to an issue,
Premier DePretis finally sided with NJ. Mag.
Llama, taking the ground that it is next to
impossible for Italy to become entangled in a
war for some years to come. NJ. Ricotti, in
furious rage, resigned. In his letter Of
resignation he ridiculed the idea that Italy
could avoid being drawn into the vortex
which an outbreak of war between Austria
and Russia would create, and which might
occur at any moment Already, he declared,
Italy was compelled to anxiously estimate
the forces of her enemies and weigh the ad.
vantages of rival offers of alliance. The
premier, however, was firm, and NJ. Ricotti
grudgingly yielded, but he makes no effort to
hide his opinions which, he boasts, are con-
