equalization in counties where they owl
railroad lands for the purpose of getting
fair assessment and it is announced thai
the road is preparing to pay taxes on it
lands. There is an immense amount O.

The tax will amount to large sum, and
most of the county boards are evincing
disposition to be liberal in the assessment
matter. In Stutsman county there are 243,-
900 acres of this land. The land tax is dis
tinCtively such, and not in lieu of any gros,
earnings. The question of the taxability
such lands has been in the courts for a
number of years, but this move OF the rail
road company seems to indicate a cessation
of litigation.

SIMPLY HORRIBLE.

A Trio of Accidents in IA New Jersey Wire
Miu-One Man Impaled and Suspended
Red Hot Rod: Another Has Ten
Feet of Red Hot Wire Coiled Up in His
Stomach and the Third Killed by
Breaking Electric Wire.
TRENTON, n. J., Feb. 6.-Two shock
ing accidents occurred at Roebling's
wire mill. Charles Cheatle was pierced
through the body and for an instant sus-
pended in the air on red-hot rod about
three inches in diameter Cheatle, who
is about seventeen years of age, was
what is known as hooker up in the
mill. AS the iron leaves the furnaces
he seizes it in a pair of tongs and guides
it to hole which reduces the
size. AS he attempted to seize a
piece of iron yesterday it broke
near the tongs, and before he had time
to again take hold the red hot and now
wriggling rod entered his right side just
above the hip and, passing through the
lung, came out beneath the left arm
pit. AS the rod passed through Cheatle's
body the end caught in a piece of ma
chinery and for an instant the boy was
suspended in the air on the red-hot
rod. His weight broke the rod and
Cheatle fell in front of the furnace
on his feet. AT the same moment an
other long rod of red-hot iron was seen
coming through the rollers from the
furnace. Cheatle still held the tongs
when the iron left his body, and rs he
saw the second piece leaving the fur
mace had sufficient presence of mind to
ward it off. else this, too, would have
pierced his body. Medical attendance
was at once procured but the case was
hopeless.
Mart Molesky, fine-wire drawer of
the same mill, was pierced in the
stomach about midnight Tuesday night.
He is new man and did not under
stand how to arrange his wire, which
broke, the end entering the pit of his
stomach. The reel runs very fast,
and when the fine wire entered Molesky
he was pinned in a corner, and before
the reel could be stopped about ten feet
of it had curled up in the man stomach.
William Mershon was killed in the
same mill Tuesday by the breaking of
an electric wire. The mill closed down
for the day after Cheatle received his
death wound, and the firm ordered a
corps of six of Trentons leading ply
sicians to relieve the men, but the
doctors declare that the injured men
can not recover

FEARFUL CALAMITY.

Three Hundred English Miners Entomhed
in Monmouthshire Mine by an Explo-
sion-Fully 12O, and Perhaps More
Killed by the Conclusion and by Fire
The Efforts at Rescue
LONDON. Feb G.-An explosion in a
colliery at Abersychan, Monmouthshlre.
occurred to-day by which 500 miners
were imprisoned. Rescuing parties
have succeeded in bringing two hum
dred of the imprisoned men to the sur
face, some Of whom were more or less
injured. The exploration of the mine
proceeds in the hope that the other i'm
prisoned men may be found and brought
out.
Forty bodies of those who persisted
have been taken from the mine. and
fifty of the miners are still entombed.
The owners of the mine estimate the
number of killed at 120.
The noise of the explosion was heard
mile away. The gearing of the shaft
was thrown high into the air amid a
volume of flame and dense column of
smoke. The first party of rescuers tried
to penetrate the old mine, but without
success. They saw many dead bodies.
but were unable to reach them. After
the smoke abated the rescuers descend
ed the shaft and were able to enter a
part of the works. A large number of
those rescued were seriously burned and
some of them will die. The latest esti-
mate of the dead is $50. Sixty bodies
have been recovered, all of which are
mutilated beyond recognition.
The pit was regarded as a model OF
good ventilation and was lighted with
naked lamps. The physicians in at
tendance pronounce half of the number
Of dead to have been killed by fire and
:oncussion and the other half by suffo.
cation. Several of those rescued aliva
nave since died.
THE ESTIMATE NOT TOO HIGH.
LONDON, Feb. Tt is now apparent
that the estimate of the number of lives
lost by yesterdays explosion in the
Abersychan colliery, made by the own
srs of the mine, was not placed too high,
and many believe that the dead will eX-
ceed their tigures-120. Although some
fifty bodies have been taken out, the
:escuing work is only at its beginning,
and a vast amounted labor is required
20 clear away the debris and recover the
bodies that remain. The bodies taken
out are so horribly mutilated that eX-
cept in two or three cases identification
is impossible, recognition being rem
1ered doubly doubtful by the fact that
men, owing to the close and heated at
mosphere of the mine, wore no clothing
whatever, except heavy boots to pro-
tect their feet from the flinty
bottom. 1t is ascertained that the mine
has been in dangerous condition for
some time past. Not long ago an ex-
plosion occurred in an adjoining pit, by
which five men were killed. The dam
aged pit was flooded and the water
gradually forced the gas into the pit
which was the scene of yesterdays dis
aster. Upon this information it is al
ready suggested that the owners of the
mine be prosecuted for criminal negli-

Serious Allegations.

Joseph Schwartz, the largest pawn
croker in Kansas City, and big dia'
mond and jewelry merchant, recently
failed, and every body was nonplussed
by the entire absence of diamonds from
his establishment and the little amount
of jewelry remaining. Henry WE'LL, an
attaching creditor, instituted proceed
ings against Aaron Fetterestein. He
alleges that before the attachm ents
were levied Schwartz was indebted to
his creditors for over 100000; that
Schwartz entered into conspiracy with
Fetterestein whereby he transferred
$4,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry
by an alleged bill of sale to Fetterstein.
WE'LL alleges that Fetterestein still
holds the property.

Supreme Court will be eagerly awaited.
Leading lawyers of Chicago, in inter-
views, say that, in their Judgment, the
imprisoned anarchists can receive no
benefit, whatever the decision of the
United States Supreme Court may be;
that there is no claim of error in
the lower courts, and that if tho
Federal Court holds that the prisoners
should have been present in the State
Supreme Court when the sentence of the
lower court was affirmed, it's effect will
merely be TO send the prisoners before
that tribunal for reaffirmation of the
sentence of the lower court. The lower
court sentenced them to be hanged, and
if the point is sustained they would
have to undergo that penalty unless
they could again prevail on the Gov
ernor to commute their sentences. as
was done by the Governor then in office.
States Attorney Longenecller, when
asked for his opinion on the subject,
said: There is nothing in it, for the
reason that the defendants had their
day in court. They had their Constitu-
tional rights in the Criminal Court Of
Cook County. The Supreme Court SIM
ply passes on the case tried in the lower
court. 1t is simply court of review.
There can be no new evidence intro
duced for or against the petitioners, and
all the Supreme Court can do is to see il
the lower court committed errors and it
can not render final judgment. 1t can
only reverse, and if the errors are not
such as to bar conviction they are re-
manded to the lower court for trial. If
the higher court affirms it simply affirms
the opinion of the lower court and di-
reefs it to proceed with the execution of
the sentence. In a capital case, where
the lower court is affirmed, the Su-
preme Court fixes the day of execu-
zion. This is for the reason that when
case is to be reviewed by q higher
court the day fixed by lower court is
passed, and new day must be fixed
About fixing the day of execution the
defendants have no right to complain,
as the day may be extended six months
or year. There may be cases in which
the defendants have right to be pres
ent in a higher court-for instance, when
the case originated in the higher court
but not when the case originated in the
lower court"
'IIave you never heard of prisoners
being present when the case was re.
viewed by higher court?''
Never"
Suppose the United States Supreme
Court, upon reviewing the case, finds
that the State Supreme Court erred in
not having the prisoners present dur
ing the hearing. Will it grant new
trial?''
Not bit of it. 1t will simply re-
mand the case to the State Supreme
Court for a rehearing. The State and
Supreme Court will then have the pris-
oners brought before the bar, while the
case is reviewed. When the review is
completed, the court will confirm the
sentence pronounced by Judge Gary,
which was that Schwab, Fielden, Spies,
Parsons. Engel and Fischer be hanged,
and that Neebe be imprisoned for fifteen
years. But there is not, in my mind.
the slightest probability of the United
States Supreme Court finding that the
State Supreme Court erred. The whole
thing is the most ridiculous legal move
ever heard Of"
