FALLEN ELECTRIC WIRES

Do Deadly Work and Electric Street Travel
stopped by Snow in Pittsburgh.
The heaviest snowfall in five years
occurred at Pittsburgh, Pa, Wednesday.
The wires are down all over the two
cities. Three horses were killed and
several mon badly injured Wednesday
morning by coming in contact with cleo
trio light wires. The situation was SO
desperate that the department of public
safety ordered all electric street car
lines to stop running for the present.
Trains from the west were on time, but
those from the east were delayed three
and half hours, and the time
of their arrival was indefinite.
There has been tremendous snow
fall in the Allegheny mountains. At
Bedford it is one and half feet on a
level Railroad wires are down and
there is much anxiety for fear of acci-
dents. The Pittsburgh & Western is
showed up completely. The Western
Union Telegraph Company reports not a
single wire out of Pittsburgh. The kill
ing of a horse on Third avenue Wednes-
day morning was an awful sight; fifteen
minutes after being struck its head
sized and was surrounded by white

TOO WELL ARMED.

Senator Henderson Wants an Investiga-
tion of the Condition of the Indians In
the Dakotas.
A timely resolution has been intro
duced by Senator Henderson, in the
Senate, providing for an investigation
of the condition of the Indians in the
Dakotas, the causes leading to the oc-
cupation of the reservations by troops,
and q general inquiry into the possess
sion of arms by the Indians, their tribal
relations and care by the Government.
"Such an investigation" Senator Man
dcrson says, 'is absolutely necessary.
Even in the Senate opinion is sharply
divided as to the causes which brought
about the present disturbances in South
Dakota. Especially does it seem to be
necessary that something be done to
prevent the sale of arms and ammuni-
tion to Indians. Those bucks have the
best quality OF Winchester rifles and an
apparently limitless supply of ammuni-
tion. The only uses they can put these
things to is the killing of white men or
white mems cattle. There is no gamo
to shoot that calls for long-range rifles,
and the Government should Immediately
take steps for general disarmament Of
the Indians"

ktruggies of the Supposed Corpse Split the
Comn-singular Actions OF Horses and
Dove at the Funeral.
A man named Lowe was buried Mon
day in Riverside Cemetery, Denver,
Col. For some unexplained reason tho
horses attached to the hearse proved
stubborn and the driver could not even
coax them into funeral march. Abous
the same time Henry Stock, who drove
q livery horse, had trouble, and both
teams had to be changed. Arriving at
tho cemetery the body was lowered in
to the grave with ceremonies prescribed
by the Red Mems Order. A bird Is
set free as the first earth rattles on the
coffin, a symbol Of the flight of the soul
to the realms OF the hereafter, but the
dove fluttered from its cage and alighted
at the edge of the grave 1t would not
take wing until frightened away by the
grave-diggers. Gossips talked, and 1t
was decided to exhume the body. The
work was done, and 1t was discovered,
as soon as the ND of the coffin box was
raised, that the casket itself was split
and the glass in the cover broken, as IL
tho dead had come to life. The coffin
| lid was raised and the full horror burst
upon the spectators. His body lay in n
position unlike q peaceful one. The
arms were bent and the hands so tight
ly clinched that the finger nails had
been sunk into the flesh. The face OF
the dead was distorted from the awful
struggle through which the
man had passed, and the cheeks showed
that in his frenzy the man, entombed
alive, had used his nails with terrible

SLEEP-wALKERS STEPS

Down n Thousand-Foot Icy Inclined Plane
Frequently Swan the Kanawha River
During Her Slumbers.
At o'clock Sunday morning Officer
David Smith, of the South Side, Pitts
burgh, Pa, saw young girl dressed in
her night clothes and bare feet in the
freezing air standing at the corner of
Fifteenth and Carson streets, South
Side. She turned out to be Louisa
Liebendorfer, aged 10, who was sleep
walking Just as the officer spoke to
her two men, Max Reisenstein and
friend, came rushing down the Knox
vile incline plane steps and caught the
girl just as she fell to the street. Reis-
enstein and his friend had seen the
girl get on the Knoxville Incline and walk
down the icy ties to Carson street, Il
sheer 1000 feet of almost perpendicular
height. They had followed by the
roundabout steps, but she beat them
down by five minutes. She acknowl-
edged that she was in love with young
man and was going to him. Her mother
declares she swan the Kanawha river
in Virginia three times one winternight
while asleep. Miss Louisa is in bed
suffering from exposure, but was not
injured by her aerial flight.

WILL THEY ENIIGRATE9
Possibility That the Mormons viii
Leave Utah.
brigham young's son Buys Three Million
Acres of Land In Northern Mexico,
1t Is Believed With the In
tention of Forming
Mormon Colony.

Mr.. d. c. Faurot. the well known
banker of Lima, o., and who is also
president of the Columbus, Lima and
Northwestern railroad, and drlargely in
terested in railway enterprise in Mex
leo. returned from New York Sunday
afternoon and announced the consum-
nation of deal with John w. Young,
the eldest son of the late Brigham Young,
whereby the latter comes in pos
session of three million acres of
land which was granted Mr.. Faurot
by the M ,xican Government three
years ago. Negotiations have been in
progress for son.a time, and were finally
closed in New York Saturday. The
land is located in the northern pat of
Mexico. About three years ago Mr..
Faurot obtained valuable grant from
the Mexican Government which includ-
ded these lands, the stipulation being
the construction of a railroad extend
ing from Deming, N. NJ, to the CASH
ilabompa Bay, on the Pacific Coast.
The Mexican Government, in con-
nection with this grant, offers 5000
to every family and $50 to every
single man who locates permanently on
this land Mr.. Young has ten thousand
people who will colonize on these lands,
and it is understood that they are all
Mormons, who now reside in Utah.
Since the Gentiles have obtained such
strong hold in Salt Lake City, the Nor
mons have been looking around for
new suitable location. Mr.. Young is an
extensive railroad contractor, and re-
Gently completed large job in Utah.
IA the Mormons already have small
colony adjoining lands of Faurot, this be-
! cameto be the desirable property, and it
would indicate that they propose utiliz-
ing their newly acquired lands in their
colonization scheme. The Mormons
hope by this move to get away from the
restrictions placed on them by the
United States, and where they can teach
and practice polygamy without fear of
being molested. Mr.. Faurot does not
wish to state the consideration, but the
amount involved is large. He will now
devote his attention to the completion
of the Columbus, Lima and North
western railroad, which is largely grad
ed an d in the finest condition.

Headlong Plunge of a Railway
Coach Near Massillon, o.
But Two Persons Out OF Fourteen Escape
Serious Injury, Four Being Killed.


A horrible disaster occurred at Boil"

on the Wheeling and Lake Erie rail.
road, Thursday afternoon. only two OF
the fourteen occupants of the rear car
of mail train No. 8, south-bound, escap-
ing serious injury. The train, composed
of coaches and baggage car, is due at
Bolivar at 1:51. About mile end a hall
north of the town the head truck of the
last car left the track just as the engine
started across long trestle bridge,
thirty-five feet high. Almost before the
fact that any thing was wrong could DO
known the locomotive was dashlng
across the bridge, the rear car bounding
along on the ties. When fairly on the
bridge it swung over the side down to
the ground, turning bottom side upward
in its descent. The coupling connect'
ing this car with the forward part OF
the train snapped like thread, and the
air-brake thus suddenly put on sent
people in the first car lying
against the seats. The car is a

and the flames commenced bursting
from the debris. Robert Cook, brake
m an, and one OF the two men who es
capped uninjured, best realize the situa'
ton. After crawling from his danger
GUS position he at once gathered UP
loose snow and began to pile it about
the stove. In this he was soon assisted
by w. e. Tingle, of GAINESVILLE, travel
ing man who rode in the smoker, and
between them they smothered the
flames. One of the first to get over
the broken bridge and down into
the valley Of death was DIR. Will
liam Garrett, of Massillon who
happened to be on the train, and also
James Lutz. Both men worked man
fully in relieving the distress of the
wounded. The brakeman, Robert Cook,
having helped to extinguish the fire,
hastened on to Bolivar, summoned car
riages, and sent word to Massillon for
physicians. With the exception of Ira
Cowan, a w. and L. E, engineer, at the
time off duty, who could not be carried

Results of tho Application OF Prof. Kooh's
Method In baltimore.

The eleven patients at Johns Hopkins
hospital, Baltimore. who were injected
with solutions of Koch's lymph are all

symptoms Tho reaction in each case
was marked Women have uniformly
shown reaction more promptly than
men patients, and this has been the OBJ
servation in the Johns Hopkins hospital
cases The rule is to in
iect with constantly increasing doses
until reaction ceases. II no reaction
whatever follows the injections it is
accepted as proof that the patient Is not
consumptive. DIR. William osler, who
has conducted tho experiments at tho
hospital, gives the following report OF
the results: In selecting cases OF pull
monary tuberculosis for treatment we
have begun with patients not far adj
vanced in the disease, and with little or
no fever; cases too, which we have had
under observation for some time, and in
whose sputa tubercle bacilli and elias
tic tissue have been repeatedly found.
We began on Friday, the 18th, when, by
the kindness of DIR. Billings, we re-
ceived the fluid. At first injections of
the 1-10cc. of the per cent. solution
were made. On the following days
o-lOcc and then 3-10cc. With the latter
the reaction has in each case been fairly
characteristic. Hourly observations
have been made, and, as the
charts show, there has been
rise in temperature within six or
eight hours usually of three or four
deprees In one case thcre was slight
chill. The constitutional disturbance
has not been great, and the patients
have complained chiefly OF restlessness'
sleeplessness and slight pains in the
back and limbs. In several instances
the cough has been aggravated and the
expectoration increased. In two cases
of pleurisy, one chronic and one
acute, the injections have been
given for the purpose of diass1
nosis The chronic case nas
flattening of the left side without any
evidence of the disease of the lung
itself Very definite reaction followed
soon after the use of the 3-10cc. injec-
ton. In the acute case no reaction fol-
lowed the first two injections. So far
we have not used it in advanced cases,
nor can much be expected after large
cavities have formed and when extern
sive softening is in progress. No Sc
rious or unpleasant effects have fol-
lowed in the eleven cases under treat
