And the old folks laugh when
they find that the pleasant Califor-

Figs, is more easily taken and more
beneficial in it's action than bitter,
nauseous medicines. 1t Itstrengthens

Victims of the Mud Run Disaster Die at
Wilkesbarre.
WILREsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 13.-The town
of Pleasant Valley, which furnished nc
less than thirty-thre of the victims of the
Lehigh Valley railroad disaster. is grief
stricken place and all business has been
suspended in the mines and elsewhere.
The dead will be buried this morning.
Peter Kline, of Providence, aged fifteen,
another victim of the accident, died at the
hospital here yesterday. John Welsh,
another of the victims, died in the hospi-
tai here yesterday afternoon.
The coroner's inquest began yesterday.
Engineer Major confessed that his train
was running twelve miles an hour. aud
had it approached Mid Run under control,
as the rules required, or running four
miles an hour, the accident could have
been averte1. He could not see ahead on
account of steam and smoke from Cook 8
engine ahead of him.
Detective James O'Brien of the Lebigh
Valley road visited the scene of the wreck
and endeavored to prepare complete list
of the dead. He has secured sixty-fi
names, twenty five not heretofore having

MURDERED BY STRIKERS.

Thomas Wardell, the Leading Operator,
Shot Dead In His Carriage by Striking
Miners at Bevier, No.
BEvIER, Mo-. Oct. 13.-At 12:4j o'clock
yesterday afternoon Thomas Wardeil, a
very wealthy land owner and coal opera
tor OF this county, was shot and instantly
killed by number of striking miners on
the main street of Bevier, just opposite the
depot.
Wardell had driven from Macon in his
carriage, accompanied by colored boy,
and had stopped his horses at the street
corner and crossed the railroad track to
the telegraph Office to send a message.
The depot platform was filed with ST. TX
ing miners, and as Wardell passed through
them going to his carriage they tcered and
tainted him. Turning, he said: "Boys,
I'll beat you in the end. You can holler
all you want"
The men then began throwing rocks at
him and he was struck in the back by one.
Upon reaching his carriage he took from
under the seat q large revolver and fired
one shot in the direction of the crowd, but
above their heads. An instant later a half
dozen shots or more came from the crowd
and Wardell fell back lifeless. The first
citizens who approached were warned
away by the men, hut the dead man was
at length taken to DR.. Watson's.
Sheriff Draper was Immediately teie-
graphed for ct Macon, but neither himself
nor any deputy was in town. Prosecuting
Attorney Mitchell and Coroner Dale i'm
mediately started for Bevier. When they
arrived all was found quiet. The coroner's
inquest was held yesterday afternoon and
all the facts given a bove suhstantiated by
eye witnesses.
The Immediate cause of the murder was
the strike prevailing at Bevier for the last
month and the attempt of the operators to
I'LL their mines with men from Chicago.
All the operators had gone into the ar
rangement, but the first men who arrived
were to be placed at work in Wardeli's
mine, hence the bitterness Of the men
against him.
At noon yesterday, just before the &C.
currence, seventy men were brought in by
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in
charge of Thomas E. Wardell. son of the
murdered operator, John Watson and
Louis LOOMS representing the other mine
owners. For some reason, probably be-
cause of the large crowd of strikers at the
depot, the men were not landed, but were
taken on through to Brookfield, where they
were left.
The murdered man was fifty. years old,
the wealthiest citizen of Macon County,
being worth over half million. He was
an Englishmen by birth, and came to this
country a penniless coal digger. He had
always been favorite with the men be-
cause of his fair treatment of them. He
was a very benevolent and charitable
man, whose loss will be greatly felt. At
the coroner's inquest not the slightest ev-
idence could be found which pointed to
the identity of the murderer, and it is I'M
likely that he will ever be discovered.
