BADLY MINGLED.
An nknow Man Probably Fatally In.
iured at Stuart.

Yesterday afternoon the uptrain was
boarded at Anaconda by a man supposed
to be a miner, and whose appearance iEdi-
Gated that such was his calling. As snbse-
quent events, according to rumors which
could not be verified at the late hour at
which they were heard indicated, he reached
Stuart. and at that point by some mishap
he fell from the car in such a manner that
he wal thrown under it, and the two wheels
passed over his right leg above the knee
completely ~severing the member. Accord
ing to the report, although THE MINER did
not get it from an eye witness. the man
was alive as the train came up, but it is
hardly possible that if his injuries are as
stated that he is alive at this writing.

vhen they did name them. In short the
testimony made it evident that the Ulcers
nj these roads acted in concert, dong "tlao-
ever they could to interfere witt ltts busi-
meas and the proceedings demonstrated the
sba meless subserviency of The railroads IN
vnlved to the communicating influence OF
the most INSCRIPTIONS and un~conscionaDie
combine OF the present day, the glgan e
Standard Oil Trust. Cullom thought IT
must be conceded the law had been
OF Terry GREAT VALUE
to people in reducing rates, especially IN
view OF the long and short haul principle.
Cullom then proceeded to explain what was
proposed to be reflected by the amendments.
They would, if in the existing law, d
greatly to it's effectiveness. One OF them
wal to require three days notice OF q re-
duction of rates. At present there was no
notice requested for reduction, but only OF
| advance of rates. Another amendment
| proposed was to extend penalties for UNI
lawful discrimination to imprisonment as
well as fines. Another was directed against
the practice known as under billing This
practice had increased enormously since
| the Interstate commission tool effect and
was as clearly unlawful as the payment OF
rebates or discrimination by any other de-
| vice. In conclusion, Cullom said: There
is no business question in which the peo-
| pie of the country have y deeper interest
for the reason that there is One which
Lears mere directly upon their financial
prosperity. Cheap transportation and
equality Of rights in its enj tyment are the
two great demands of the times and the
nation will fail of it's duty if it does not do
| what it can to secure both to the people,"
A message from the President was pre-
scented returning without his approval a
| pension bill on the ground that the benefi-
ciary had received no injury in the army.
Referred to the Committee on Pensions.
| Also another message returning without
| approval the bill relieving a Government
contractor for paying an Indebtedness OF
81, O42 incurred by the nonfulflment OF
contract. Referred to the Committee
on Military Affairs.
The Senate then proceeded to considera-
ton of the Notification appropriation bull
and was addressed by Dolph on the sub
ject of coast defenses. The bill went over
without action and the District of Column
bia appropriation bill was taken up. 1t
also went over without action and the
Senate adjourned.

Before any one could interfere he tore his
coat Of and flung it out Of the window
Then he dashed out his wife's valise ant

out of her wits. and her screams added to
the confusion. Finally the maniacss rage
seemed to take a different turn, and be
rushed frantically up and down the aisle,
kicking and striking at the
TERRoR-sTRIoKEN PASSENGERS,
when his wife seized his arm and endeay-
ored TO restrain him, the old man pushed
her back into the seat aud then raised the
window. He had lifted her and was about
to throw her out, when the conductor and
brakeman rushed into the car. Dropping
the unconscious form of his wife, the mad
man turned his attention to the train men
and they engaged in q desperate fight. The
old man seemed to possess almost super
human strength, and, notwithstanding his
age and slight figure, he held the train men
at bay untilth baggagemaster crept up be-
hind him and pinioned his arms Then he
was handcuffed and bound securely to a
seat. By this time the car was emptied,
but when ev, rything was quiet some OF the
ladies came back and

and they lived on a farm in Newton

recovering from an attack OF brain fever,
and a few days g they decided to visit

before exhibited any signs OF insanity until

A HOLIDAY.

great mills out of sight. 1t was only one
man dead, the world in which he moved
crowded along, and if he had come back even
so soon, he would have had to make place

man was born the minute he died, and the
ranks were always kept full.
There was a holiday at last, and the people
were the nearest they could get 20 holiday

few changes 70 make. Their aprons if they

TIE MILL OWNERS TRIUMPH
The gray Uists broke and the eastern
clouds blushed red at tho coming or tho most
ardent lover in the universe. His fruitful
bride, earth, smiled her glad welcome up to
him, but gave place to settled peace and love
as the early hours went by. But it was the
saddest day of Philip Breton's life, so terri
BILE thunderbolt had fallen upon him out Of
the clear sky.
A woman's hand had struck him; and he
had looked to her for all the most precious
experiences of life. Humiliation might have
stirred in sonic hearts blessed reaction to
relieve their aching consciousness of loss;
but the blow to his love and his hopes was so
much heavier than the hurt OF his pride that
he did not think to be insulted, he was only
overwhelmed. There could be no escape for.

heart TO a woman before he had married

His friends bore his stricken form from
within, out of tho sight of the people. But
he had tanned the mob at last, though it took
bis life to do it. A hush as chill as the breath
of the death angels wings had fallen upon
them They waited with tho patience of
their class, they watched doctors come and
attendants hurry to and fro, but no one told
them what had happened. Nothing but
chances of hate were cast at them, till at last
Philip Breton himself, with new desolation
in his face, camo out alone on the piazza.
Some fancied hestood unsteadily as IL a vital
prop had been taken away others saw new
force and dignity in his thin, boyish face
"My father did not finish his speech" he
said, with scathing satire in his voice; VI
will finish it for him" They would have
borne all the reproach he might have heaped
upon them, but he only said, ''Will you go
back TO workF His voice began to break as
he added, My father is dead, and want TO
take him home"
Not man, woman or child but worked
out their tasks that day. Ezekial Breton
had tiiumphed.
