Crushed Between Cars.

MONTPELIER, Ida, Dec. IL Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD. "A freight train was
wrecked three miles east eff here this morn
ing at9 O'Clock, coming west, caused by a
baoken truck on 3 freight car on the train.
Nobody was hurt but it was the cause of
ditching six cars of merchandise. The pas
senger train due to leave here at 10 20 this
morning was delayed here on account of
the wreck till ) 40 pm, and the track was
cleared for the east bound passenger train
to proceed. But one of the most horrible
accidents that ever occurred in this county
occurred here to-day. Night Operator
Oliver G. Fairchilds, who had been out to
the wreck, came in with a team driven by
d. G. Stewart, county coroner-e elect, and
the operator attempted to cross the railroad
track at the depot. The space between the
crossing was only about twelve feet, as he
stepped between the space the switch en-
CINE backed up and caught him, the link on
the rear car nearly passing through his
left SIDE No bones were broken but he
was crushed in the bowels and only lived
five hours from the time the accident oc-
Cured until his death.
DR.. Rivers did all he could for the poor
sufferer and he bore the pressure with
patience until death came. He was
conscious till the last. Nothing is known
Of Fairchilds or his family relations, as he
only started to work here last night for the
company. The constable is now getting a
coroner's jury and the jury is hearing all
the evidence in the case and will no doubt
censure the railrord company for blocking
the crossing on the county road. The
coroners jury will not render verdict
until tomorrow morning:

FOUR FREE COINAGE BILLS
Are introduced in the House-First Step
Toward Revision Of the Mckinley
Bill Taken by McCreary.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Especial telegram
to THE HERALDl-T Washington Post in
its issue of Sunday prints the following:
Delegate Caine, Of Utah, says that his ter
ritory has ceased knocking at the door Of
Congress for admission into the sisterhood
of states. "We want to be free men of
COURSE" he said to Post reporter, "but
two years ago the Democrats did not think
they could carry US and the Republicans do
not deem it wise to admit US. Utah there
fore will wait until the invitation comes to
her and until then we are not likely TO
make any move towards statehood. We
have all the qualifications necessary for
admission. Our population, even by the
imperfect census, is over 100000 while
Wyoming has only $4,000 and Idaho only
$4,000. There are 5000 more people in
Salt Lake city alone than there are in the
whole state Of Nevada. The religious
prejudice which keeps us out is contrary to
the spirit of the constitution but it never
the less exists. Utah will stay territory
until she is asked to be state.''

The subject Of the conservation and equal
distribution of the water supply in the arid
region has had much attention from Con-
gress, but has not as yet been put upon a
permanent and satisfactory basis. The ur-
gency of the subject does not grow out of
any large present demand for the use of the
lands for agriculture but out of the danger
that the water supply and the sites Tor the
necessary catch basins may fall into the
hands of individuals or private corporations
and used TO render subservient large areas
dependent on such supply. The owner of.
the water Is the owner of the lands, how
ever the titles may run. All unappropri-
ated water sources and all necessary reser-
voirs should be held by the govern
ment for the equal use at
fair rates of the homestead settlers
who will eventually take up the these
lands. The United States should not. in
my opinion, undertake the construction of
dams and canals, but should limit all work

The Honest Mans Protector.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 9.-The honest
mans protector and friend has come
to grief. This will be remem bered as
a remarkable gang of men, sworn to
burn and kill moonshine informers,
the doings of which were exposed by
the newspapers last March. Jack
Lansdown was Captain, David Wheel
er, First Lieutenant; George Fields,
Second Lieutenant, and George Rich
ards, Secretary and Treasurer. Each
member swore to protect each other
in putting down reporting on moon
sinners. After several houses had
been burned, George Coffee, one OF the
gang, was caught and imprisoned.
Coffee turned states evidence, led the
officers to the gangs rendezvous and
handed over their DISCUSSES and con-
stitutiOn and bylaws together with
the names of the whole band, and
confessed that the gang did the burn
ings. This brought matters to a
crisis. Arrests of the principal par
ties followed and their trial is now in
progress. There are seventeen pri-
soners in all. On Friday John Tor
rest ter was convicted and sentenced to
the penltentiary.

Statistics Of Labor Report.

NEW YORK, May 9.-The seventh
annual report of the bureau of sta
tistics of labor has been laid before the
legislature by Commissioner Peck. 1t
is long document and goes
extensively into the discussion of
prominent points in the labor ques-
ton. The following statement of
facts will be read with interest. The
total number of strikers for the past
five years was 1884; of this num-
Der 4,432 were successful, 434
partly successful, 3,46S unsuccessful
and fifty pending. The number of
persons engaged in these strikes was
33S. O19; amount lost in wages was
S, Or, 9l5; lost to labor organizations
by reason of strike benefits and con-
duct of strikers was 81 ,2l0,360. The
estimated gain in wages was $l8,623,-
O6O; loss to employers from all
causes was $5,157,942. When the
cause of the strikes was a de-
mand for more pay, 52O1 establish
ments were subjected to a demand,
the increase was conceded in 2,205
cases, decrease took effect in 1873 es-
Establishments. There were no changes
in 2.3l3 cases. Although the causes of
strikes are by no means confined to
the wages question; it has been found
that once strike has set in
for any cause, wages usually become
implicated before settlement. The
sum of all strikes investigated dur
ing the five years shows total of
81, 8O4 operatives engaged in success
full strikes where wages were increas-
ed, the result being ali estimated
gain for the year of $685., 1897 with
total for the whole number for the
whole five years of S18,623, 900. The
gain per capita during five years
would be about one dollar per week,
the number of employees being pre-
sumed as constantly at work.
