Indications Point to an Adjournment OF the
Convention Ns1t saturday.
JACKSON, MISS. Oct. 26.-All indica-
tons now point to an adjournment of the
constitutional convention by next Satur-
day. The members are weary of dis
cussion and cries OF vote, vote, asSnll
every speaker who ventures upon long
argument. Five minute speeches are
now the rule and very few OF
them. Only seven more sections of the
bill of rights remain to be considered,
and these will be disposed of on Monday.
This leaves but two more reports on the
calendar, on IeveeS and general provIs-
ions respectively. A day will do for
the former and two days st ths
furthest will dispose of the lat
ter without resOrting to night SEES
sions, although that experiment
may be tried if any serious delays are
entertained in consideration OF the bust
ness booked for the week. The under
standing clause of sections of the fran
chise report, which Is the special order
for Wednesday, may give rise to some
discussion, but as it takes sIxty-eIght
votes to reconsider there is lit
tie probability of any change
In the language or spirit
OF the section. 1t will hardly occupy
more than q day of the convention .
time. This will leave two days TO take up
odds and ends unfinished on the calendar
and that will more than suffice. Unless
there is some unlocked for obstacle the
convention on Saturday night will show
a clean docket.

OMAHA. TEX, Oct. 26.-Harry Pur-

ployed as head brakeman for the Cotton
Belt, fell from the train yesterday at
about $3.50 p. IN. and was run over and
killed about 400 yards south of here.
Both of his limbs were broken in two
places and one hand mashed. He lived
about ten minutes and was seemingly
rational till the last. He stated that he
vas making a coupling at the time of the
accident, but this seems impossible, as
the evidence Of eye witnesses goes to
show that the tram was moving rapidly
al the time. A physician Was called but
was unable to DO anything for him.
He was picked up by work tram and
brought to town, where coroner b. V
Mccoy held an inquest over the body,
after which, by order of G. A. Smith,
chif surgeon, he was turned over to the
undertaken for burial, with orders to
send bill to him for S25 as burial ex-
penses. This the citizens thought was
not enough to insure a respectable
burial. and $40 was raised in less than
so many minutes to be added to the $50.
He was buried this morning in the
Omaha cemetery. Up TO the present no
verdict has been rendered by the coro-

sides aiming at the establishment OF per-

THE SANTA FE'S PREDICAMENT.
VIII It Join the Vanderbilt Combination as {
Halter of self Preservation


Special 70 the Gazette.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 26.-The GENTLE
men who control the management of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway
system, Mr.. Magoun and Mt. Barring,
have just returned from trip to Europe
They find their policy in danger of mis-
carrying, and that the Vanderbilt COM
bination hes been gaining ground. The
great objective point toward which both
parties had been steering was the con-
troll of the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn. Each party has been laboring
for several months to induce the Southern
Pacific magnete, Mr. Huntington, to
take sides. Mr.. Huntington has been
wavering, and the Vanderbilt people are
now said to be negotiating with Leland
Stamford aud other large holders OF
Southern Pacific stock to secure posses
sion of their holdings, with fair chances
of success. Mr. Huntington admits thut
il the Vanderbilt and Drexel, Nor
gan s. Co. syndicate secure tins
stock they will be able TO control
the Southern Pacific system. Such a re-
suit would place the Northwestern Union
Pacific combination In position to DEFY
all competition. That the Santa Fe
magnates have become alarmed is shown
by the fact that they have hastily called
a meeting of the board of directors, and
President Marvel has gone to Boston to
participate in the proceedings. 1t is not
unlikely that the policy of the company
will be changed and that the Santa Fe
syndicate will decide TO join the Wander
biit com binatiou as matter of self
preservation,

The MINE DISASTER.

Further Partie1lars az the Calamity as
Ashley, Pa--The Assistant Boss RssPoa-
sihle.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 1.-THE work
Of attempting to rescue the imprisoned
miners at Ashley was interrupted by .
heavy rush of gas at three o'clock yes
terday morning. but at seven o'clock it
was deemed safe to resume the efforts,
and a large party of rescuers entered
the slope and commenced work upon
the cave beyond where three men were
found Thursday night They soon broke
through and rushed into the chamber
beyond where, in the semi-darkness,
the men stumbled over yielding bodies
A close search revealed six blackened
corpses near the opening, none of them
recognizable. Further along at various
places were found thirteen other bodies,
all more or less burned, but most of them
could not be recognized The sight was
so horrible that two or three of the
rescuers tainted away
When the news of the finding of the
bodies became noised about a scene en-
sued around the mouth of the slope
which will never be forgotten by those
who witnessed it A strong guard Of
men held back the women who pressed
forward madly to enter the mine.
Half an hour later four men appeared
bearing body on stretcher. The
women tore away the blanket, but only
saw blackened and charred remains.
Other bodies were brought out as fast
as possible and at noon all but six Of
those who were in the mine when the
cave in occurred had been found. These
bodies were conveyed in ambulances to
undertaking rooms and prepared for
burial. The excitement pervaded every
part of the town, and the streets in the
vicinity of the morgue were completely
blocked with people, many of whom
came from other towns.
At one o'clock two more bodies had
been brought out and search for others
was going on. The body of Michael
Henry, known to be under an immense
pile of debris, may not be found for
several days. John Allen, the assistant
fire boss, who fired the gas. is in
great agony. His face and hands
were but slightly burned. but he had in
hailed fatal after-damp. Anthony
Froine and Robert w. Roberts, the men
rescued. are in a critical condition It
is believed they will also die.
General Superintendent Phillips in an
interview said: ''The men lost their
lives through the negligence of As
sistant Mine Boss Allen who insisted on
relighting his lamp in the presence Of
large volumes of gas. Had he not done
so the men now dead could all have been
rescued alive as there was good cur
rent of air going through the chamber
where the men had taken refuge after
the cave in had taken place" .-ar
Many of the bodies have no heads,
others are entirely nude and most OF
them are mangled and disfgured.
At eight o'clock last evening all
operations at the mines were aban-
doned. There are yet six men in tbs
fatal chamber.

after his pacific speech from the throne

nature of the speech when it is con-

DUN'S REPORT.

Signs of Reaction in the stock Market-En-
couraging Reports From Most Cities
Business Failures
NEW YORK, May 17.-R. G. Dun &
| Co.'S weekly review of trade says: The
stock market has rushed ahead until it
has absorbed all the money within reach
| and now some signs of reaction appear,
with a little selling by foreign holders.
Substantially the same phenomena have
been observed in wheat and corn and in
| the market for pork products. Each has
at command limited amount of money.
When that supply is absorbed, whether
| by accumulation of stocks carried or by
| advancing prices, reaction is natural.
| The tendency of prices during the
| past week has been downward. Wheat
| declined 2 cents on sales here of only
| "a. 900, 600 bushels, corn ~ cents on
sales of q 500, 600 bushels, while oats
are steady. The trade begins to com
| prehend that inside of thirty days new
| crop of wheat will begin to come into
| the market and while winter wheat is
certain to be short, the reports from
| spring wheat States indicate great in
crease in acreage and good condition.
The reports from most cities are al
most uniformly encouraging. At Phila-
de1phia in the leather and boot and shoe
trades there is activity, while the wool
manufacture is hindered by apprehen-
sion of higher prices, and spinners take
for immediate wants only. This is true
of Boston also. The prices realized at
the recent f1anne1s auctions here have
depressing influence. At Chicago dry
goods sales exceed last years and
payments are fair, but the clothing
trade is dull and the fact that
bank clearings are larger than ever
before finds explanation in speculative
activity in the grain and pork markets.
St Louis reports a good trade and sup
plies of money equal to the demand,
while at Pittsburgh trade is rather dull;
at Cleveland fairly active, causing some
monetary str.ngency; at Milwaukee,
only fair; at st. Paul, improved by re-
cent rains in the Northwest where
drought began to be feared; at Kansas
City, rather quiet and at Omaha good,
with easy money.
The monetary situation at New York
has not been altogether satisfactory.
The foreign trade of the port is more
satisfactory than was expected, showing
an increase over last year of 81, 900, 900
in exports for half of May-more than 40
per cent.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days number 212 as compared
with 200 last week. For the correspond
ing week of last year the figures were
