MARQUETTE, Mich, Feb. 17.-Last evening
a copper train OF thirty cars on the Duluth 81
South Shore got ont of control of the men at
the Prince mine. five miles above the city. and
came laundering down the heavy grade at the
rate OF over mile q minute. The shrieks of
the locomotive whistle caused thousands to rush
trouble. In four minutes after the engineer
running away. five miles above, and that the
the run through the city or go into Lake Su-
perior, the train came numbering down through
the yards The big mogul engine kept up it's
shrieks and the rush of the cars shook the earth,
while the train seemed q .heet of flame from
the fire caused by the friction Of the smoking
brakes. Nine cars of heavy timber were in the
train. and at the third crossing the timbers be.
gan to fly. The timber shot through the air
like lightning in all directions. Buildings were
demolished and cars thrown from the track in
every direction. Three cars held to the engine
and dragged fourth with timbers caught under
the wheels Tho engine stopped within two
hundred feet of the sharp curve, which would
surely have thrown is into the lake. For three
blocks timbers, and car.trucks and cars are
scattered. Two streets are blockaded. The
engineer and fireman stuck TO their posts. One
brakeman jumped in the dark, not knowing he
in the city, swift was the rush of the
train. He was saved by being thrown into an
immense snow drift. The conductor and other
brakemen cut loose the caboose and escaped.
It Is marvellous that the only loss of life was

former vice-president of the Reading Railroad
Company. Mr. Jones entered into a history or
the requirement of the coal lands hy the coal
and iron company under the control OF the
ems scheme. Robert McCalmont had loaned
Mr.. Gowen $4,000 shares of the Peadlng
Railroad Companys stock In 1863, with
which to purchase coal lands This was the
beginning of the policv which led to the acquire
ment of the Schuylkl coal lands. which ulti-
mately took the Reading road into the hands OF
q receiver and piled it debt of $l00, ,O0O, coo.
He corroborated the statement OF Mr.. Smith,
made in the morning, that in 1869 the
Reading Railroad Company, had only small
debt, was paying interest on its earnings. and
paying dividends of 10 per cent. 1t was
the dealing in coal lands and the purchase
OF coal lands which could not be utilized
for many years and in attempting to force
a small part of them to pay the interest on the
whole Investment, which wrecked the company.
The witness related at some length the history
of the several coal combinations in the past
which had been made to restrict production and
thus make higher prices. He said that the last
one did this by mutual agreenen: to shut down
the mines q certain number of days in the year.
Until he had heard the testimony or witnesses
he had been certain this sort of combination
existed now, and that the Reading was party
to it, and he beii-ved it now. Notwithstanding

Shocking Dsssitu.ion.


SHENANDOAH, Feb. 1.-THE destitution among
abe families of miners that is being developed
here is terrible and such that it cannot longer
be hidden One family named Foge was found
to-day to have actually been without food for
two days. and the children were weak from
fasting that when relief came it had to be spar
ingly given to avoid killing them. There we're
nine in the family. Another family CT six,
named Burns. was in the same state, and one
named johnson almost bad. These
but instances that have many parallels. 1t has
been established that most OF the contributions
intended for the miners have been absorbed by
the railroaders. who have been living in clover
while their allies starve.
