acquisition Of the Colorado Midland rail
way was fully considered and approved

Atchison does not contemplate the pur-
chase of mile of railroad property any

road purchase. You can say this most EN-.
phatically. Stories from the west of con-
templated railroad extensions are without

ALMOST A BATTLE.
Trouble Over One Railroad Cross
ing Another'S Track.
A BUILDING BOOM IN BOISE.
Omaha Telegraph Operators Calling Meeting
Two Men Buried by Falling wall
! Murder in the First Degree.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 25.-TSpecial tele-
gram to TIE HERALD. For several weeks
coal operators north of this city, chiefly at
Louisville and Lafayette, have been com
planning of the shortage of cars furnished
by the Union Pacific road. They had been
induced by the railway officials to make
large contracts, but could not secure cars
to handle their output. During President
Adams recent visit the matter was laid
before him, but no relief could be prom
ised. A consultation was held with the
Burlington officials, whose track is not far
distant, resulting in a secret movement
last Wednesday night by which connection
was secured and the Union Pacific track
crossed by its rival, whose employees or
officials knew nothing of it until a pas
senger train Thursday morning found the
crossing completed. On Thursday night
the Union Pacific sent up train with 25O
men and tools to remove the Objectionable
crossing as secretly as it had been con-
structed. They reached the spot soon after
midnight but the miners had watchers on
the ground who gave the alarm by blow
ing whistles, and the whole populace
swarmed with shotguns. pistols and clubs
and picks, and in few minutes the atmos-
phere was ''crazy." The miners were de-
termined that the crossing should remain,
as it meant steady business for them. and
their attitude was so threatening that the
Union Pacitic's forces finally boarded their
train and left. Last night it was rumore6
that the Union Pacific would send up an
other special load with men armed with
Winchesters, and the miners sent out run :
ners in all directions. intending to give
them battle, and notice was sent to Boulder
to the sheriff. About 10 o'clock an ap
preaching train was heard and an enor
nous force quickly gathered. 1t brough
an injunction restrasning the Union Pacii,
people from interfering with the newly con
structed tracks, and the coal miner
breathed easier.
Before the crossing was laid an attemp
was made to secure the Union Pacific
consent but Superintendent Meek said ht
had serious objections and he was not con
suited further. Since its completion b
has expressed himself in pointed languag
and declared ne would have the crossin,
out if he had to SEND 1000 armed men to d.
it. He says the Denver & Rio Grande an,
Burlington roads have been cracking th
Union Pacific safe long enough. However
is is more than probable that the crossing
will remain as they are backed by the loca
sentiment of the miners, who wish to work
and the temporary restraining order of tn
local court against their removal, and tn
whole matter now must be adjusted by tn
general officials of both roads.

Maurauding and Numbering Apaches

SANTA FE, N. M, Oct. pa small
band of Arizona Apaches, evidently not
more than four in number, has been terror
izing settlers along Arizona and New Mex
leo, Silver, and Grant counties. Cavalry
has been scouting for weeks without result.
Thus far four persons have been murdered
by the band. J. j. Barrira, a Mexican
ranchman in western Grant county, and
his son are the last victims. A Silver City
dispatch says the settlers are very indig-
uant over the management of the San Car
los agency in allowing the Indians to leave
the reservation and the inactivity of the
army in pursuing and Furnishing the
renegades

BRoCKToN, Mass, Oct. 25.-Charles w.

a short time since he took Sewall p.
Howard and Emerson Goldthwait as
special partners in the brokerage business.
Last Monday, hearing the FIRMS account
with Stetsop was closed, they informed
Robinson and insisted upon an explana-
ton. He confessed the forgery of sigma
lures to a number of notes and has since
disappeared. The Home National bank, of
this city, holds $4,000 of the forged paper
against Goldthwait and Howard and lagre
amount is held by the Brockton National
bank and Plymouth banks. Robinson's
customers losses will aggregate thou
sands. 1t is feared some will be ruined by
his defalcations. The cause of his down
fail is that he has been specializing heavily
unknown to his partners.

INTER DEN LINDEN.
Berlin Professor is Almost Lynched 70
Running Over Woman.


Especial to THE HERALp-Examlner Gable.
BERLIN, Oct. 25.-The capital to-day
came near being treated to an American
lynching exhibition. DR.. Sonnenbeg, pro-
lessor in surgery in the university, was
being driven down Inter den Linden.
His coachman ran over woman and the
professor ordered his man to drive as
rapidly away from the scene as possible in
order to avoid recognition. The cowardly
physician, however, was not quick enough
as the avenue was crowded and the acct
dent being witnessed by large number of
passers-by. When these had fully compre-
hended the situation, they gathered around,
the carriage doors were forced open and
the professor dragged out and badly
| beaten. sWhat else would have happened is
not difficult to predict,as the police had the
greatest difficulty il conducting him to the
station house while still alive, his clothing
being torn to shreds and his body covered
with bruises. The victim of his cochman's
carelessness was taken to the hospital, both
legs being fractured. She will probably
! lose one.

Hills PARTY DELAYED by an Accident.

CAMERON, w. Va, Oct. 25.-Governor
Hill and party, accompanied by t. S.
Riley. chairman of the Democratic state
committee, Governor Fleming and others,
left Wheeling this morning over the Balti-
more 81 OHIO and were to have stopped at
all stations between Wheeling and Har-
per's Ferry to allow the governor to make
addresses. The programme, however, was
interfered with by collision at Mounds
vile. His train was about starting when
Engineer Wells heard warning note from
the engineer of the Chicago express which
told him that train was approaching on
the same track about fifty feet ahead of
where the governors train was standing.
wide and low highway bridge spans
the tracks here making it impossible to see
approaching trains ON the other side of the
bridge. About twenty five feet behind the
governors train, an accommodation train,
running between Wheeling and Cumber-
| land, came to a stand. When Engineer
Wells noticed the approach of the Chicago
express he immediately reversed his en-
| CINE, backing her train. but the Chicago ex-
| press was moving also high a rate OF
/ speed that it soon caught up TO the COVER
nor's train and crashed into it. The cow
catchers of both trains were demolished as
| were the platforms of three coaches.
| Governor Hills train was thrown back on
| the accommodation train and the COW
catcher of that locomotive smashed. Be
hind the accommodation train was aheavily
loaded freight train and the trains together
were thrown back on that with slight
| force, with no damage to the latter except
| that the cowcatcher was torn away. Had
the governors train consisted of ordinary
coaches it would have been crushed like an
egg shell between the two heavy trains.
AS it was, both of these cars escaped with
out even a scratch. The accident was due
to the failure of the air brakes TO work on
the Chicago express.
After a delay of two hours at Mounds
vile the two parlor cars were attached to
the car of the accommodation train and
| proceeded.

French citizens o-night. Cabinet minis
tiers, judges, senators and all the leaders of
French Canadian society were present.
The comte received a tremendous ovation,
and the proceedings were often inter
rupted by cries Of ''Vive lie Roe" The
greeting was such that has never been &C
corded here to any foreigner. All talk of
counter demon stration has died away be-
fore the enthusiasm of the French royalist.

Gladstone ON Scotch Home Rule

LONDON, Oct. 25.-In an address at Dal-
keith tonight, referring to the
Scottish home rule movement, Glad
stone said he believed that
whatever Scotland deliberately asked
would be found to be cosinstent with the
unity of the empire and would obtain the
assent of parliament.
Touching the matter of the Scotch croft
tiers, Gladstone deprecated the idea of
emigration as remedy for their distress.
With reference to disestablishment of the
Scottish church, Glardtone adds it would
be an enormous advantage to Scotland, and
to the cause of religion, if the three Presby-
terrain churches were united. This one
step, however, he did not deem advisable
at present for in approaching general cleo
lions d1sestablishment of the church would
be the test question to the evolution of all
others demanding adjustment by parlia
ment
