routine morning business, to consider the
house copyright bill. The finance bill was
then laid before tho senate Blackburn
spoke in advocacy of Stewards free coinage

Morgan followed Blackburn in advocacy
of the amendment. He yielded the floor
without concluding his speech, and the bill
was laid aside. The senate bill appropriat-
ing $1,000 for a public building at Joliet,
Illinois, and tho house bill appropriating
xlOO,OOO for one at Rockford, ILL.,. were re-
ported and placed on the calendar. Also
the senate bill creating the Office of fourth

THAT RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

The Name Of the Unfortunste-Result of
the COrOner's Inquest.
VIM. Godfrey is the name of the young
man who Was killed on the Montana Cen
trail railway near Elk Park, yesterday. A
paper bearing his name was found in his
clothes but there was no clue az to his place
of residence and he was buried by the coro-
ner in the lonely and desolate station of
Elk Park, over 5000 feet above sea level.
The deceased WAS about 25 years Of age.
He did not have any money about him. Re-
ports received yesterday at the railroad
headquarters state that the young man was
walking on the ties outside the rails. The
train WAS going at the rate of thirty five
miles an hour. Nearby where the body was
hurled was found knotted handke chief
which be had worn around his ears to keep
out the cold. 10 this is assigned the reason
for him not hearing the engine whistle.
Coroner ID. g. Warner. of Boulder. board
ed the local train yesterday morning to
hold an inquistion over the body. jury
was empeneled among passengers on the
train. The engineer, conductor and fire
man were summoned as witnesses and the
coroner held the train at Elk Park about an
hour, or until the inquest was over and tho
jury had rendered q verdict. The verdict
was that the deceased came to his death
through his own carelessness and that no
must have been hard of hearing. The rail-
road company was exonerated from any
blame.

WAsH1NGToN, Jan. 0.--It IN the general ex-
pectation that the latter part OF next week
the senate financial bill will come over to
the house and members arc awakening to
the possibility of another strife over the
measure. somewhat similar to the enact

consIdefable speculation ms to the shape
the bill will take in the senate. as it's feat

in their views. On this point the silver
men themselves do not appear united.
Some think bill should be passed provid-
ing for nothing whatever save free coinage,
as they fear consideration would be retard-
ed If the bill were numbered up with general
banking legislation. Others are of the
opinion that free coinage would DO

sections, popular in the east.
When the bill comes over to the house the
general impression is that it will be at once
referred to the house committee on coinage.
However, the attitude which the speaker
will assume toward the bill here becomes of
Importance, and there is good reason to be-
lieve Reed has not himself determined upon
his course. A prominent western republican,
silver man, member OF the coinage COM
mittee and friend OF the speaker, said the
bill would 20 to the coinage committee and
would be reported to the house. If the bill
is not reported within reasonable time a
motion will be made to discharge the COM

house. The speaker has il in his power to
be a great stumbling block in the way of
the subject of intense int crest.

THE EXPLOSION VICTIM.
Mr.. Bien Will Lose His Sight and Pr0babI.
Both Legs,

Mr.. Bien Will Lose His Sight and Probably
Both Legs,
The condition of Emory Bien, who was
blown up in his cabin by giant powder
Thursday evening. is very serious. He is
lying at the Sisters hospital unable to
move, and though he talks nationally he is
by no means out of danger. He was fright
fully shattered and his legs are a complete
wreck. His physicians say he will probably
lose the sight Of both eyes, as they are both
injured with powder. His face is black
with powder burns end his hands are in a
very bad way. The fingers of the left hand
are crippled and the right hand was torn SO
that part of it hangs on the wrist. The
bones of the left leg are completely SHAT
tered and the right is barely any better, the
flesh on both having been torn off in strips.
The doctors have very little hope of saving
his legs, though they will wait until Monday
to see if this can be done. Should any sign
of blood poisoning present itself amputa-
tion will be necessary.
Mr.. Bien is about 60 years of age. He
said stick OF giant was placed under the
stove in his cabin to dry and when the ex-
plosion occurred he was lust warming the
supper" as he put it. At the same instant
Mr.. Griffith appeared in the cabin door
He received several burns and bruises, but
did not notice them in his haste to extricate
Mr.. Iien from the wreck. Bieh was un-
conscious for while.
Mr.. Griffith came to town Thursday night
and is now lying on his back in his cabin at
the corner of Jackson street and Sixth ave-
nue.. He was feeling all right when he re-
tired Thursday night, but when he arose
yesterday morning he was very sore of
limb and his bruises will confine him to his
bed for a few days.

FOR FREE COINAGE.
Blackburn Advocates Stewart's Amend

Blackburn Advocates Stewart's Amend
ment to the Measure.
WAsHrNGToN, Jan. 9.-In the senate the
financial bill Was taken up and Plumb gave
notice of an amendment limiting to 81 600
the compulsory requirement. deposit of
United States bonds for every national
bank. This is not to apply to the deposit
of bands to secure public moneysin national
banks. Blackburn addressed the senate in
advocacy of Stewards amendment for free
coinage. He was not willing to have it 90
to the country and the world that the
amendment was simply an effort by the
representatives of silver states and that the
rest of the country was indifferent to the
result. There was not silver mine within
the limits Of the great commonwealth of
Kentucky, and yet he ventured to assert
that her people were as united, as earnest.
as honest, as clamorous in their demand for
the free coinage of silver as were
the people of Colorado, California, Idaho or
Nevada. The opponents Of free coinage
might rely on the veto power of the presi-
dent. but that would prove vain reliance.
He denounced the anti-silver policy of
every administration for the last twenty
years. 1t did not matter to him that his
own party was, for four years, responsible
for the enduring wrong. Cleveland's ad-
ministration was just as amenable to crit
icism and censure as its predecessor or its
successor. The Farmers alliance was now
centralized into national organizatiop
and protesting against class legislation,
Every intelligent man. and every honest
man, acknowledged that they had Just
cause of complaint. They asked redress of
grievances not imaginary. but real. The
mighty west and the rejuyenated south had
endured the fleeing process until patience
was exhausted, and now they meant that
Just laws should be enacted and unjust laws
repealed.

WASHINGTON Jan. 9.-At meeting of the
democratic congressional campaign COM
mittee, Congressman Kerr, chairman of the
democratic state committee of Pennsylva-
MIA, proposed plan for the reorganization
of the campaign committee which meets
with general favor. It contemplates the
selection by the democratic state central
committee of every state of one person, we'll
known for his democracy. capability, en-
ergy and general knowledge of details of
the practical organization in his own state
The man selected need not necessarily be
member of congress. The idea is to secure
q congressional committee that will be in
every sense "a representative organization
and yet not individually interested in their
own reelection. In addition to the full
campaign committee, Kerr suggested that an
executive committee of five be appointed
for the purpose of establishing a bureau,
which shall be permanent feature OF the
committee.

Nebraska Has Three Able Bodied Execu-
tives Duly sworn in.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 9.-This mornings
session of the legislature consisted in
wrangling over the minutes of the joint
session, which were badly mixed on ac-
count of the confusion, and this work WAS
unfinished at noon. All of the newly
elected state officers are in possession Of
their Offices except Gov. Boyd, who is kept
out by Gov. Thayer on the ground that he
is ineligible. Powers, alliance candidate,
took the oath Of Office to-day and it is said
the legislature will recognize him as gov
ernor. Tom Major was installed as lieu
tenant-goyernor and president of the SEN
ate under protest. The proceedings in the
senate this afternoon we're not Vf much i'm
portance. Several bills were introduced
and an attempt made to approve the min
utes of last session. This business was
still pending when adjournment was taken
until Tomorrow.
In the house an uproar was created by mo-
tion to appoint a committee to wait on the
governor and ask for his message. Amend
ments directing the committee to wait upon
Governor Thayer. Governor Boyd and Gov
ernor Powers were proposed III rapid sue
cession. ana this matter had not reached a
focus at the time of adjournment.
The gubernatorial mlx-up still continues.
Gov. Thayer still holds the fort against
Gov. Boyd. AS reported in these dispatches
yesterday, his objection is that Boyd was
never naturalized, and therefore is ineligi-
BILE. The board of public lands and build
ings, however, to-day assigned Boyd quar-
ters in another part of the capitol and he
began acting as governor. The first con-
fict of authority occurred this afternoon
when telegram was received stating chat
an Indian outbreak was feared in the north
ern part of the state and asking that the
militia now ut the front be placed to repel
an attack. The governor ordered Adjt.
Gen. Cole to make preparations, but Cole
replied that he would take orders only from
Gov. Thayer. Boyd thereupon declared
Cole ousted and appointed Gen. Victor
Viquain to the position. The state militia
and it is impossible to tell which they will
obey.
The ianitors of the state house have gone
over to Boyd and it is said steam will be
turned off from Thayer's Office tomorrow.
Thayer day petitioned the supreme court
for quo warranto writ to determine Bovd's
position. The court will decide next Tues
day. Meantime, Thayer has issued a public
statement, saying that he wishes the
supreme court to decide the matter before
he vacates the Office.
Boyd has nothing to say about his case,
except that he knows he is citizen. His
friends claim that even if he was not legal
ly naturaliZed. he is a citizen of the United
States because he was citizen of the terri
tory of Nebraska, and when the state WAS
admitted into the union, all its citizens
were invested with full citizenship. All
parties to the struggle are keeping cool.

LONDON, Jan. 9.-There are no signs Of
abatement of the severe winter weather
throughout Great Britain or on the
continent. From all points come stories of
suffering. In Great Britain the severity of
the season has not been exceeded since 1918.
The river Thames below Richmond remains
partially frozen and navigation is impeded
by ice foes. Carrier vans traverse the
frozen surface from Sutton court to Abing-
deem. Numerous deaths have resulted
from the extreme cold. Several of
them, ut the very gates of work

admission. Midland newspapers declare
that thousands of persons i'll that region
are i'll a condition of semi starvation.
MANY local committees are taking measures
for relief, but they fail to reach n host of
cases. In every country on the continent
there is suffering because OF severe weather.
The coasts of Belgium, Holland and north
Germany are blockadei with ice. Many
steamers and ships are ice-bound i'll the
rivers Scheldt and Elbe. ana % some are
badly damaged At Antwerp 10000 work
men have been thrown out of employment
owing to the unusually severe weather.
