MT. TROUT fepleQ tn6t the Ul0tr1Ct COmml6-
sioners were his authority.
Mr.. Atkinson disputed the accuracy Of the
statistics. Mr. GrOut said that the statistics re-
lated to all the railroad tracks and not to the
Pennsylvania alone.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.
Mr.. Atkinson then said that since 1888 but
two men had been killed and seventeen injured
by the Pennsylvania railroad.
Mr.. Grout thought this referred to railroad
employees only and did not include citizens in
jured.
Mr.. Atkinson insisted that it included all ac-
cidents. Continuing, he said that it was in the
power Of Congress to do as it pleased with the
railroads; that the commission provided for in
the House bill could not have jurisdiction over
the whole problem, and that the provision for
the commission had no business on this bill.
The whole question should be handled sepa-
rately from this measure.
MR.. MOORE UNDERSTANDING WITH Mr.. ATKINSON.
Mr.. Moore took the floor in his own right
and opposed the conference report. He said
that at the last session he had
withdrawn his opposition to the bill upon
tao argument BY MIR. Atkinson that the
clause providing for commission should
be- added to the bill. Mr.. Atkinson ac-
ceptcd this proposition and offered
tho amendment in open House az his own.
MI. Moore then had read extracts from
Mr.. Atkinsons remarks in which
he said he offered the commission amendment
in good faith and as compro-
mise measure. Mr.. Moore held that
the commission was broad enough.
From its report the next Congress could well
legisiate on the whole railroad subject.

AWFUL.
a Boiler E1plodes, Killing Four Men Outright
Their Limbs Torn From Their Bodies-Two
Others Seriously Injured.

NEwBERRY, s. c., Aug. 14.-News
reached here to-day of a terrible boiler
explosion, which occurred this morning
at country sawmill twelve miles west
of Newberry on William Dorren's place.
Four men, one white and three colored i,
were killed and two colored men seriously
wounded.
Pickens H. Matthews, white, son OF
the owner of the mill, met with an awful
fate. He was literally blown to atoms,
his limbs being found some distance
from the explosion and other portions of
his body suspended in trees.
Three colored men, Carey Davis,
Thomas Ellison and William Chambers,
had their heads blown off and were other
wise terribly mutilated.
Milton Rabb, colored, had his thigh
badly mashed, and Walt Davis was fear
fully soalded.
colored boy named Young was the
only one who escaped uninjured. He
says that the pump was out of order and
the engine had been stopped and Ellison,
colored engineer, and another coloreu
man were around the furnace of the en-
CINE, and Matthews was working with
the pump when the explosion occurred.
The pump was in front of the engine and
near the saw, being supplied with water
from a small stream, alongside of which
the engine was placed. Matthew'S shoes
were found by the stream with his feet
in them, having been blown from his
body.
The explosion was distinctly heard by
several persons in Newberry, and by
other persons at great distance in the
country.

Swallows as Carriers.

Special to the Gazette.
LONDON Aug. ia carrier has made
discovery which perhaps may eventu-
ally be valuable. 1t has been discovered
that swallows may be trained to carry
messages as well as pigeons, and with
much greater speed and over a greater
distance. 4 trained swallow was dis
patched on Wednesday from Paris and
flew to Bordeaux in two hours, return
ing to Paris the same evening. If this
can be relied upon as precedent for the
future travelling of these birds they will
soon suparcede pigeons. The distance
from Paris to Bordeaux is 800 miles,
making 600 for the round trip.

An Insult to Freedom,

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. lin an edi-
torial to-day on the election in the
Chickasaw Nation tomorrow the Post
says: ''The nti-progressive party
claim that calling out the militia is not
for the purpose of seeing that q fair cleo
ton is held, but on the contrary to
frighten the progressives and keep them
away from the polls; also to aid in car
rying the election by bulldozing tactics.
By aid of the troops trivial objections
can be made 10 accepting ballots, and a
controversy thus lnaugurated can be
made to wind up in general fight, which
will Decessitate the progressive voters
leaving the ballot boxes without de-
posting their ballots. 1t is not strange.
that even the half breeds object
TO this manner of holding elections, and
it is not strange that there are grave ap-
prehensions of trouble at the polls. -

rected, and assured me that my inter-
ests should not suffer.
"As showing the manner in which we
are considered there, the state offered to
give munifcent aid to our college but we
declined, owing to our tenets regarding
the separation of church and state.
FMexico is fast coming to the front in
industry and prosperity generally. The
country has improved vastly during my
residence there. The railroads are build
ing all through, and there is hardly O
point of any Importance in all my terri
tory that l cannot now reach by steam
transit.
1.-THE people pay considerable atten-
ton to schools. While we have no such
funds for educational purposes as you
have here in Texas, yet the system of
schools there will compare fayorably
with that in this state. The schools are
open ten months in the year IN
every town, village and community,
The government devotes its attention to
this branch of public affairs. The
teachers are well paid. Every woman
graduate taking a school receives at
least $50 per month. Other grades
are paid in proportion. The men
are paid as high as SlO0 per
month. The children are all furnished
text books by the government, q pro-
vision rendered necessary by the gene al
poverty of the masses. Labor is the
cheapest thing in Mexico, but l note that
even the value of labor is increasing,
for when first went there q workingman
received from two to three bits a day and
now he gets from four to five. A car
penter used to receive from eighty-five
cents to 81, but now he is paid from 81
to SIPS. So it is with all trades.
'SaItillo, where l make headquarters,
has salubrious climate, than which l
never saw a better. l want to see if
there is anything in Europe that can
equal it, but l don't ex-
pect there is. A physician of my
acquaintance in Saltillo kept
record of the thermometer for three
consecutive years, and the mercury
never got from between GO and so
degrees. The mean temperature is
about 20 degrees. If we had better
hotel accommodations L believe Saltillo
would become favorite resort for

Three COnviets Escape from Prison and Stand
OF Posse.
SAN QUENTIN, CAL. Aug. 12.-Three
oonvlcts escaped yesterday from prison.
They were Turcott, Hanlen and Man
ming. After reaching the gulch near
Lauele Grove, three miles distant, they
threw up breastworks of limbs, stumps
and soil around q clump of trees and
secured commanding position. They
stood siege of about eighteen hours,
firing ct besiegers every once in a while.
One OF the guards had the stock of his
gnn shattered by shot from their rifles,
and the bones OF his right fore arm were
broken by bullet. After holding sew
eral negotiations with the sheriffs, and
probably securing some concessions they
surrendered their Winchesters to the
sheriff. They were then conducted to
the San Quentin prison. 1t is surmIsed
that cousin of Manning was the party
who furnished weapons. Officers are
after him.

The remark that 2 train doesn't earn enough

that the cost of oil, waste and tallow for the
