excitement among that quiet and religious

sworn out by Miss Eva Parker, young
lady of eighteen, who has recently become

the charge until the child was born. He
then Immediately called meeting of the
official Board of the church, which, after
deliberation, passed a resolution express
ing belief in mis- innocence, and deter

HOAR'S RAILROAD.
Names Practical Senator Has no Faith
In Jules Verne Schemes

lCoPy7ghf, 1SSS, BY The California AsSocIdted Pres
WASHINGTON, February lst.-At the be-
ginning of the session of Congress Senator
Hoar introduced bill that was referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations, to
authorize the construction of railroad
from the northern boundary of the United
States through British Columbia and
Alaska TO point upon Behring sea. This
morning Frye presented an adverse report
on this bill.
In the report he says that the Judgment
of the committee is that it would be phys
ically impossible to construct any such
railroad as the bill proposed. Such g
scheme is but little less imprac.icable than
the one brought to the attention of Con-
gress several years ago by st. Louis crank
named Helpher, who wished to build line
of railroad from the United States through
Mexico and the Isthmus and the Central
American States into South America.

DIGGING FOR THE MEN.

In a short time all the available forces
were sent to dig cut the entombed men.
They worked with vigor for three hours,
but the pile of earth and snow was so ter
ribly pressed down that the work was slow.
After digging down for fifteen feet the cries
and means of the buried men could be
heard. A vigorous effort of another half
hour and the head of the first man was
reached. He was a section-man, named
Robertson, and was unconscious. He
finally revived after restoratives had been
applied, but for long time gave little
signs of recovery.
Three other men were found. One was
in a nook in the mountain, and had Jared

terrible plight, and it was not known if
they will survive at last accounts.
Search is being continued for the other
two or three, there being some uncertainty
