A Horrible Death.

NEW YORK, Oct. l2.-An electric light
man met with horrible death at the cor
ner of Centre and Gamblers streets yester-
day from contact with an electric light
wire. He was employed by the Western
Union company, and presented a terrible
sight as he died, while the deadly fluid
actually made his body sizzle and blood
pour out on the sidewalk and overclothes
Of Mortified spectators. The accident, oc-
curing in the middle OF the day in one Of
the busiest parts of the city, was wit
messed by a large crowd of people. The
mans body lay limp and motionless over
the mass of wires attached to the cross
trees Of pole. The fremen brought out
ladder and one went up with pair of
shears to cut the wires, but the lineman
was found to be dead.
The mans face was turned toward the
wire, which III fifteen minutes had
burned off half the face of the victim.
The left arm was also seen to be burning,
and every few seconds the blue flames
spurted out from various parts Of the
body. Hundreds of people stood shv-
ering as they looked at the awful sight
overhead. No one dared to 60 near.
Even the firemen's faces blanched with
horror. Lineman Benson, the dead mans
companion, was asked why he did not 60
up, and he simply said: otis no use,
he is dead. l don't know the electric
wires. can't help him. I was on the
other pole and don't. know anything
about them" All this was said in
catching, halting voice, as of a man COM
pletely overcome with horror and emotion.
after the accident Mayor
Grant was notified. The mayor gave
orders that the wires which caused the
accident be cut at once. His secretary
said that the mayor would act promptly
in the matter, and it is possible that he
may order The cutting of all electric wires
above the ground tonight, whereupon
large part Of the city will be in darkness.

THE LEAD ORE RULING.
Sec. Windcm Still Holding Back the I'm.
portant Decision.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.--Sec. Window
has not yet made public his decision on
the lead ore question. A week ago he
told your correspondent he would decide
in few days. He now says he has come
to decision in his own mind, and in
tends to formulate it and make it public
as soon as he can obtain time to write 1t
out.
His decision, he says, will be based en-
tirely upon the interest of the American
people and the law, but he will give no
intimation as to whether it will be reyers-
ing the present rulings or not. He says
the question is very complex and involves
many points of international Importance
as we'll as domestic economy.
He evidently places considerable stress
on the verdict of the judiciary committee,
and is clearly unwilling to overturn that
unless he is thoroughly convin ed of the
justice of SO dong.
He said to-day that he felt lead was
about the only article which could be pro-
tected to the very great advantage Of the
west and far northwest.

Accused of Counterfeiting.

TRINIDAD, Oct. 14.--E. G. Currier,
deputy United States marshal of Denver,
and James A. Walker, OF the United
States secret service, arrived in the city
Saturday on an important mission, that
Of looking up a counterfeiter. They soon
had David G. Underwood under arrest as
the guilty man.
Some time last January several pewter
dollars were found to he in circulation in
Trinidad. The matter was kept quiet at
the time, and the detectives have kept
Underwood shadowed ever since.
Underwood was taken before Justice
Shanly for preliminary hearing. He
plead not guilty. After summing up the
matter the judge could not see it that way
and placed the defendant under bond in
the sum OF $1,000. Being unable to fur.
nish it, he was conveyed xo the county
Jail for safe keeping. He will be taken to
Denver.

THE PLOT THICKENS.
The Tfresome Cronin Case Takes a New
Turn.

CnIoAGo, Oct. Ia grand jury was
impaneled yesterday to hear further evil
dence in the jury bribery case. Bailifs
Hanks and Soloman, Gauger ODonnell
and Tom kavanaugh were called in and
testified. 1t is understood that Kava-
naugh and Lawyer Beggs, one of them
on trial for the Cronin murder, made full
confessions. At any rate, this afternoon
the grand returned indictments against
John Graham, clerk and confidential man
for the noted criminal lawyer, A. S. Trude,
for completely in the Jury bribery con-
spiracy, and also true bills against the six
men indicted Saturday, Graham was ar
rested last night.
Said one of the state attorneys assist
ants to-day: "Bailiffs Soloman and Hanks
and Tom Kavanaugh have agreed to tell
all they know regarding the plot. We
are sure, therefore, of reaching the head
and front of the conspiracy" Graham is
the man who was to put up the money
with which to bribe the jurors. 1t is as
serted by Judge Longnecker that the evi-
dence against him is very conclusive.
After presenting the indictments the grand
jury adjourned for the afternoon, but the
states attorney says the case by 10
means ends with the present indictments,
but will be more far reaching than the
most sanguine suppose. Other indict-
ments may be expected on short order.

SILVER DOLLAR COINAGE.
Eumors that The President will Recon-
mend Radical Changes.

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.--At the close Of
business Saturday the excess OF silver In
the treasury vaults over and above
amounts of outstanding certificates was
only $258,000.
This fact is causing much talk in tinan-
cial circles, and silver men say the sec
retary OF the treasury is getting into bad
box. 1t is openly asserted that the secre-
tary will certainly coin at least 5000 900
the ensuing month, and even a more radi-
cal action may be necessary before the
treasury department will be able to make
a more favorable showing than at present
The latest rumor is that the president,
in considering the treatment Of the silver
question in his annual message to con-
gress, is thinking of making recommenda-
ton to base the issue OF silver certificates
upon the purchase of bullion alone and
stopping the coinage of silver dollars al
together.
The president will claim, it is said, that
as silver dollars do not 60 into circulation
to any great extent, it would be advisable
to save the expense of coinage. Also
bullion could be stored cheaper than
silver dollars.
The fact that the governor of Indiana is
the first official to appoint delegates to the
National Silver convention, which meets
at st. Louis next week, is commented
upon here as bit of interesting news.

WASHINGTON, sOct. l4.--Delegates to
the International Maritime conference
are beginning to arrive. The first to re-
port was Captain A. NJ. Bisbee, delegate
from China. He is an American who

The Chevelier Settebrim, the Italy dele
gate, has reached this country and will be
in Washington within day ortwo. The
conference will meet next Wednesday.
Arrangements for the formal opening
have not been announced, but it is probable
that SEE. Blaine will receive the delegates
in the diplomatic parlors of the state de-
partment. The conference expires by
limitation January 3lst and will probably
sit out its full term. Lieut.. Coltman, who
has been on duty at the branch hydro
graphic office i'll New York, where he has
come in intimate contact with merchant
marine of the country, has been delegated
as secretary of the gathering. The Amer
lean delegates headed by Amiral Franklin,
will meet in Washington Monday COR

Business Is Excellent.

NEW York, Oct. 14.-For the past
week, Denver's trade review says the
business increase at points where specu-
lation las the least influence indicates q
greater volume of legitimate business
than has ever been recorded at this sea-
son in any previous year, and the heavy
railroad earnings OF 10 per cent above
last year for September tell the same
story. The great industries are making
good progress, and several more furnaces
of the largest size have gone into blast
since October !, and the weekly output
on that date was over $50, 900 tons against
$780, 600 tons a year ago, an increase of
Az per cent in September and 151a per
cent for the year. In spite of this enor-
nous production prices are not only sus-
tanned by consumption, but are slightly
advanced, though southern iron is still
sold here below $l7 for No. /, while
$17.25 to $3.50 is quoted for northern
iron.

California Excursions.

Low-priced excursions to California and
Pacific Coast points were first established
by the Santa Fe route. These excursions
have been successfully run over this line
for years, but have been managed by well
known outside excursion agencies. Since
January, 1889, the Santa Fe company has
been running special California excursion
parties conducted by its own employees,
engaged especially for the work. They
will continue this arrangement--the ex-
cursions leaving Kansas City every Friday
evening. The ticket rates are the regular
second-class rates. Pullman Tourist Sleep
ing Cars, with all accessories, are fur
nished at the rate OF $500 per double
berth, Kansas City to California points.
The excursions are personally conducted,
and every comfort and convenience OF
travel are guaranteed to members oi
these parties. Those who contemplate q
trip to the Pacific Coast, and wish to save
expense, should inform themselves re-
garding these excursions. For folder con-
tanning full particulars, dates, rates, etc.,

ing interest ut the rate OF and not exceed
Ing per cent per annum, non-cumulatiye
but payable only from and to the extent

Hor Heart was Broken.

New York, Oct. 12.-Young Mrs. Will.
liam Whaley, one of the "400," died at
her residence yesterday of what the doc
tors diagnosed as broken heart.
Mrs. Whaley was taken sick at her
cottage by the sea just after the departure
for Europe of her mother, Mrs: Commo-
dore McCready. She lay in The cottage
during the severe cyclone OF last month
with only her doctor and a professional
nurse to care for her, her husband having
fled from the fury Of the storm to thu city
for safety.
Her family was detained in Europe by
misleading cablegrams sent by her hus-
band. During the absence of the family
Whaley had taken advantage OF his wifc's
illness to mortgage her property for $685.

table and ,ace track. The story of his
wrong doing was told a week ago in the

Land for Negroes.

sr. LOUIS, Oct. l4.-Advices from Mex
leo say the bill to grant concession to
Henry G. Ferguson and VIM. H. Ellis,
the two colored men from Texas, who pro-
pose to colonize lands in the states of
Oaxaca, Guerrero, Vera Cruz, Michoacan
and San Louis Potosi, with negroes from
Texas and other American states, has
passed the lower house Of congress with
but one dissenting vote and has gone TO
the senate. 1t is believed the bill will pass
and be signed by President Diaz. Fer.
guson and Ellis expect 10000 negroes
from Texas alone that will move to Mexico
and raise cotton on these lands, and that
many thousands of industrious blacks,
skilled in the cultivation Of cotton, will
follow them from states east of the Mis-
sisslppi river.

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
Englands Desire that the United States
Should Possess Them.

LONDON, Oct. l5.-The Times says in
view OF the amount of English capital in
vested in the Sandwich Islands England
could not see them pass into the hands
of any foreign power with Indifference,
but that their acquisition by the United
States would be regarded with more
equanimiy than their spolation by any
European power;to which the British goy-
ernment would never submit.
The whole tone OF the article points to
the desire that the United States gov
ernment may see its way clear to gobble
up these islands. And the writer's inten-
ton is evidently to encourage Uncle Sam
to adopt such a course.
If the present Tory government, OF
which the Times is to some extent the
mouthpece, has any AK to grind, by in
ducing the United States to depart from
Its constitutional policy of minding its
business, few people on this side OF the
water expect to see it succeed.
Well informed men here understand
that any scheme for the acquisition OF
territory thousands of miles distant from
its shores is not likely to find favor i'll

She's all Right.

BosToN, Oct. 1.-THE Traveller prints
under date of Seoul, Corea, September s.,
a letter from Mrs. Heron, wife of DR..
Heron of Tennessee, who was reported as
sentenced to death by the king OF Corea
Tor teaching Christianity. Mrs. Heron
had just recovered from q dangerous i'll
ness. She says the king would not do
what has been charged against him and
adds that the only danger is from the
ignorant and supersitious lower classes.
She says neither she nor her husband
are teaching Christianity, as it has been
expressly forbidden. They live in hope
OF treaty revision which will allow them
to do so.

received permission from the Transmits
souri, association Yesterday to meet the
competition of the Denver & Rio Grande

that it may meet the rates OF that road,
but ii it is found that these rates are not
warranted by the facts it will be liable to
regulation by the association:
This appears to be satisfactory to the
Union Pacific, and therefore it has recon-
sidered its intention to withdraw from the
association. -
