THE WESTERN STORM.
Heavy Damage Done by an Almost I'm
precedented Rainfall at Omaha and
Other Points in Nebraska.

Heavy Damage Done by an Almost I'm
precedented Rainfall at Omaha and
Other Points in Nebraska.
continuously from o'clock yesterday
morning until o'clock last evening.
Considerable damage was done in the
northern and eastern parts of the city.
In the vicinity of the old North Omaha
creek the streets were flooded to a
depth of from two to five feet, and the
water was up to the windows of the
first floors of hundreds of residences.
Street car traffic in that section of the
city is abandoned. East Omaha is al
most all under water, but the over
flowed section is not thickly populated,
and comparatively little damage was
done.
A clOud-burst occurred yesterday
afternoon at Willard, 20 miles from
Omaha, on the Union Pacific, and in
undated the track for nearly half a
mile.
The washout near Central City was
repaired yesterday, and the overland
trains which had been delayed there
since Thursday morning passed over
the break and reached Omaha last
evening. The washouts on the Elk
horn road, which had been repaired,
were washed out again yesterday.
The heaviest rain for years fell at
Nebraska City yesterday. The streets
and cellars were flooded and great dam
age was done.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.

Collapse of the Buildings of the Paterson
Coal Co.'S New Colliery Near Mount Car
mel, Pa. During Severe Storm. Re-
sulting in the Crushing to Death of SIX
Workmen.
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, June 2S.-This
section was visited. yesterday after
noon. by wind and rain storm of un-
usual severity. Trees We're uprooted
and carried great distance, while the
rain poured down in torrents and the
lightning and thunder were terrific.
When the storm was at its height, a
heavy crash was heard above the noise
of the storm. causing people to flee
from their homes in terror. For a
time it was feared that a terrible cal
amity had taken place in the borough.
1t was soon learned, however, that the
crash was caused by the collapse of the
Paterson Coal Co.'S large colliery, situ-
ated two miles west of this place. The
structure was new one and was rap
idly nearing completion. Four skaters,
j. NJ. Blossom, Richard Roberts. J. Il.
Dodson and William Lodge, from Shicll-
shiny, Pa, were on the roof at the
time of the accident and were hurled
to the ground at distance of $50 feet,
and crushed to jelly by the heavy
timbers falling upon them. Two other
workmen, from Luzerne, Pa. whose
names could not be learned. were also
working in the building and they shared
the same fate as their companions.
1t was two hours before the bodies of
the men could be recovered, owing to
the debris that was heaped upon them.
The bodies of the men were brought to
this place to await instructions from
their families.
The colliery was to have been started
next month, but the buildings are
totally wrecked and it will take consid-
cradle time to make necessary repairs.
The loss to the company is about $780,.

THE NAvAJOS AND MOQUIS.

Bad Blood Existing Between the Two
Tribes which May Result in Serious
Trouble-Troops Sent to the Scene-The
School Bugbear.
SANTA. FE, n. NJ. June % The lat
est Indian news from the New Mexico
and Arizona border or from the Indian
country lying between the Navajos
agency at Fort Defiance and Keam's
canyon, in Arizona, is to the effect that
about 100 disatfected Indians who quar-
relied with their neighbors, both of the
Moqui and Navajo tribes, are ambus-
caded in the east end of Keam's canyon.
Bad blood has existed for long time
between the powerful Navajos and the
weaker but fierce Moquis. Cattle and
stock stealing has been the grievance
between the two factions. Recently
a company of cavalry was sent
from Fort Wingate. This force
having been found insufficient, two
other troops have been sent to Keam's
canyon. The Navajos as whole say
they do not wish war with the United
States, but the Indian department at
Washington seems determined to send
their children to eastern Indian schools
in violation of treaty stipulations.
They are willing to send their children
to schools on their own reservation, but
will not let them go east.

MINT DROPS.

The United States MINIS Will Spend Few
Months in Transforming the Trade
Dollar Bullion Into Standard Dollars
and the RecOinage of Subsidiary silver
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The general
impression prevails in official circles
that the action of the cabinet yester-
day postpones the consideration of the
continued coinage of silver for the pres
ent. In lieu thereof trade-dollar bull
lion will be coined in an amount equal
to monthly coinage by the treasury
during the present fiscal year, which
has been at the rate of 1000, 600 ounces
of silver per month.
The trade dollar bullion now in the
treasury is stored at the mints at New
Orleans and Philadelphia, and results
from smelling trade dollars which were
redeemed under the act of March ), 1887.
The total number redeemed was 1885,
036 dollars, of which portion has been
coined into subsidiary coins. but the act
of March 8, 1891, provided that the bal
ance on hand should only be coined
into standard silver dollars, and that as
soon as practicable. Owing to man.
datory coinage of 1000, 900 ounces, or
., $50, 600 silver dollars per month as re-
quired by the act of July IA. 1890, UNI
til the LIST proXimo, it has been imprac-
ticable to coin any of this trade dollar
bullion.
1t will take between three and four
months to complete the work of re-
coinage of trade dollar bullion at New
Orleans, and about two months at
Philadelphia, in connection with the
10 81 ,.a-onirara of CI1hSi6i-
arv silver and the continued coinage OF
minor coins.
Congress at its session made an APP
preparation of $4,000 for the RECON-
age of uncurrent fractional coins in the
treasury abraded below the limit OF
tolerance. This is about as much as
has been appropriated for this purpose
during the last five or six years. Much
of this abraded subsidiary silver will
be coined into dimes, for which there is
a constant and growing demad upon
the treasury. The coinage of dimes
during the last three years
has been about So, 167, 476, of
81, 564, 762 pieces. 1t is proposed to
distribute this re-coinage between the
minis at San Francisco, Philadelphia
and New Orleans. By law the minor
coinage of five-cent pieces and one-cent
pieces is confined to Philadelphia. The
coinage at San Francisco and Carson
City will be confined to regular gold
and such subsidiary coin as
may be required on the Pacific coast.
AS result of the decreased coinage at
these two minis considerable reduc-
ton in the force at these minis is prob
able at the beginning of the fiscal year.
