FIVE REGULATORS ARRESTED.
They are Indicted by the Grand jury
and Come Down From Milton.

They are Indicted by the Grand Jury,
and Come Down From Milton.
When the process of bouncing Chinese
from Milton was going forward, the fun
was all on the side of the regulators. The
Chinese had to go and they went nor
stood upon the order of their going.
Now it is the turn of the Chinese to
laugh, for the strong arm of the law has
iuterfered in their behalf. Saturday
afternoon, it appears, ST Kelley, Dan
Sheats, Arthur Pierce, Charles Bartlett
and Hugh Hoon, who are supposed to
have been leaders of the firing party,
were jointly indicted by the grand jury
for assault and battery committed upon
the persons of divers and sundry Chinese.
The four first mentioned came down
from Milton last night to answer to the
charge, and Mr.. Hoon arrived in town
this morning.
1t is supposed by the parties arrested
that Mr.. W. NJ. Freeman, who has de-
nounced the action of the regulators in
his paper, brought complaint before the
grand jury and caused the investigation.
The young men indicted, who hardly
look like Chinese regulators were
arraigned in court this afternoon, and
allowed until tomorrow to plead.-East

THE IOWA WRECK.

1t Was the Work of Some Malicious Wretch
Who Placed Tie on a Trestle-Two Men
Killed and Many Others Injdred.
Coon RAPIDS, Ia, June 1S.-Partic-
ulars of the wreck on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St Paul road show that two
persons were killed outright and an
other will die from his injuries, while
nineteen others were more or less hurt
The wreck was undoubtedly malicious.
The wreck was caused by some un-
known person placing a tie upon the
trestle work just before reaching the
bridge. At the point where the for
ward trucks of the engine left the track
the trestle work is about forty feet
high. A sudden shock was expert
enced by the passengers when the tie
was struck, after which the coaches ran
about two car lengths and left the
track and engine and mail car went
through the bridge, distance of about
fifty feet, into the river. The baggage
car, chair car, smoker and one sleeper
fell from the trestle, distance of forty
feet The baggage and smoking cars
turned upside down in their descent,
the chair car and the forward Pullman
falling on their sides.
The passengers who were not hurt
scrambled out as best they could. AS
soon as the citizens of this place learned
of the accident they fastened to the
spot with lanterns and for two hours
worked in pouring rain rescuing those
who were unable to get out Some OF
the unfortunates were pinned down by
broken tim mbers, which it was necessary
to chop away to release them.
Henry Candon, of Perry, Ia, and eX-
press messenger Okilwood were in
stantly killed and John Mccarthy IA
tally injured.
In addition eighteen persons were in
jured A storm was raging at the time
of the accident This, in addition to
the darkness and cries of the wounded,
made the scene terrible one.
The bridge is a Howe truss and spans
the Coon river, which at this place is a
mere rivulet. A storm was raging at
the time. The rain and darkness and
cries of the wounded made the scene a
terrifying one. AS soon as the unin-
jured regained presence of mind the
wounded were assisted as far as possi-
BILE and messengers hurriedly dis
patched to Coon Rapids, which stands
about one-half mile west of the scene
of the wreck. Messages were wired
from there to Perry, the eastern end of
the division where most of the train
men reside, and physicians and volun-
teers quickly left on special for the
scene of the disaster

and fume and fret because of the slow
progress the Economist is making
toward third party action. and talk
about having smoked out" the Econo-
mist and forcing it to define its posi-
ton" etc, etc. These papers, some of
them, accuse the Economist of being
run in the interest of the republican
party, while others of them accuse it of
being democratic in its leanings and
tendencies. But they all agree that the
Economist is opposed to third party
movement and that it is endeavoring to
retard the progress of the people toward
independent political action. On the
other hand the democratic organs in
the south are unitedly belaboring and
villifying the Economist for trying, for
sooth, to disrupt the democratic party
and set up a third party in their midst.

Officials of the secretary's Of

MARROW ESCAPE.

A Passenger Train Comes Near Being
swamped by n waterspout That Caught
Freight n Few Minutes Later-Ligbt-
ninR's Work.
OMAHA, Neb., June 1s.-The heaviest
rain for years fell all over the state.
Along the line of the B. & NJ. in south
ern Nebraska and northern Kansas sew
eral washouts resulted, the most seri-
Gus being in the vicinity of Orleans.
Several small washouts occurred on the
branch line between Orleans and Ok
ford. Trains on that branch are de-
layed and some have been abandoned
altogether.
On the Elkhorn Valley road a bad
washout occurred at Battle creek,
caused by waterspout. The creek
suddenly rose at 2:30 a. IN. and
inundated the town, sweeping away
several houses and endangering a num-
Der of lives All in danger were helped
out in wagons and no lives were lost.
The town is ovcrflowed at present and
people have to go about in boats. 1t is
thought that the mill dam will go.
Large damage has already been done
to crop. Several miles of track and
several bridges have been washed out,
which will delay the trains for two
days.
At Oakdale the precipitation was FIVE
inches. Cellars were filled, sidewalks
washed away, 800 feet of railroad track
removed with one bridge near town
gone. The damage to crops is not
known. 1t is still raining.
At Humphrey bartholomew Bogus,
farmer, was killed with lightning, as
was also the team with which he was
plowing.
At Palmer the wife and grandmother
of Vaclay Lauton were struck by light
ming and killed.
About 100 miles east of this city and
not great ways from Corning Ia, is
Plum creek. At aybreak this little
stream of water showed no signs of
going out of its banks. About 5 o'clock
dark, threatening cloud moved upon
that section from the west The cloud
seemed to be descending as it travelled
and when it reached the outskirts of
the valley it appeared to drop to the
ground. A short time later Burlington
passenger train No. 2 came along,
Gearing an unusually large number
of travellers. The train took orders
at Corning station and proceeded on
the journey to the city. A mile west
of Corning it crossed the bridge that
spanned Plum creek. Seven minutes
later a freight train followed. The
freight was under good headway when
it neared the bridge and Engineer
Powers looked ahead at the structure,
He saw that an attempt to cross meant
death and he reversed the engine and
called for brakes The train slackened
speed materially but Powers did not
succeed in preventing a partial wreck
and he was forced to jump for life just
as the locomotive and three cars fell
with terrible crash into the chasm.
The creek which only few moments
before was but a minor stream, had
carried away the bridge soon after the
passenger train crossed. Engineer
Powers in jumping landed in twelve
feet of water but escaped.

THE PLUTOCRATIC TWINS.
The Bosses in Both Old Parties VIII Unto
to Fight the People.

to Fight the People.
Straws are said to show which way
the wind blows. In like manner the
careless utterances of partisan newspa-
pers may disclose the truth of partisan
thought. A sample taken from the
Washington Post is here given:
ut is much to be questioned whether
either of these two parties is in danger
of disruption or defeat by reason of the
new organization, and least of all the
republican party. If such a contin gency
were for a moment to be entertained as
the disbandment of the republican
party the remnants would be far more
likely to fall to the democracy as a
choice of evils than to the Cincinnati
movement by natural selection"
The natural outcome of third party
victory would be to drive the plutocracy
of both the old parties together. In
fact, the leaders of these old parties are
interested in each others success to a
greater extent than the average OBJ
server discovers or the general public is
aware of. 1t is for their mutual inter
ests that the people will continue di-
vided and that sectional strife shall
continue. Because of this such meas
ures as the force bill and the tariff are
continually brought forward. For this
reason also the ''bloody shirt" in the
north and NEGRO domination" in the
south are being worked to their utmost
capacity. The logical end of such con-
spiracy, in case of threatened defeat,
would be to bring the conspirators all
together Indications to this effect are
not wanting. Economist

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 2O.-For sew
eral months J. j. Cross, of New York,
civil engineer, has been making care
full survey of the city of Johnstown,
the Conemaugh and Stony Creek rivers
and all its tributaries in order to
devise means to prevent the recur-
renee of another flood and avoid
regular inundations of the city. His re-
port was presented at a mass meeting
of citizens, officials of the Cambria iron
company and all leading business men
being present. 1t recommends the
expenditure of 5000, 200 in order to
make life and property safe IN the
city. The Johnstown lumber log boom
was a menace to the city and should be
rebuilt or removed. The greatest point
of danger lies in the stone bridge
famous in the fiood), which, the re-
port stated, did not have sufficient
waterway to carry off ordinary fresh
cts and backed spring foods into the

ASKING DAMAGES.

The North American Commercial Company
Protests Against the Agreement on the
Sealing Qucstion-It Claims That It's
Rights Are Violated, and That the United
states Will BE Asked For Reimburse
ment.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The North
American Commercial Co., through its
attorney, n. L. Jeffries, has filed pro-
test with Acting Secretary Spalding, of
the treasury department, in which it
recites that it has the right to take fur
seals from the islands of st. Paul and
St George for the period of twenty
years from May /, 1890, and that it will
continue TO perform the stipulation OF
its lease. 1t states that it was assured
a quota of 60 900 seal skins during 1890
and upon such assurance submitted its
bid at three times the amount paid by
former lessee. Upon the acceptance
of the lease it made large outlay in
buildings and provisions and arranged
for transporting the seal skins to San
Francisco.
The company says that it was COM
pelled to cease taking seals July TO-,
when the sealing season had not ex-
pircd and only one-third of the quota
of skins had been obtained, and it was
further prohibited from taking and ad-
ditional number during this year. On
this account it has sustained loss of
S4O0, 1000.
The company further represents that
at the time it was compelled to stop
taking seals it earnestly protested
1yy hn
States and has continued to protest and
now again submits this its formal pro-
test against the action of the United
States in preventing it from taking the
quota of seal skins it had right to take
by law and by the terms of the con-
tract. 1t submits it is justly entitled
to receive from the United States such
sum as will compensate it for the loss
it has sustained on account of the ac-
tion of the United States, and gives
notice to the secretary of the treasury
that it will claim to be reimbursed by
the United States to the full amount of
loss it may sustain by reason of its be-
ing prohibited by the United States
from taking its full quota of 10000
sealshins during the year 1891.
The company further represents that
in providing for the maintenance and
education of the inhabitants of the
islands of st. Paul and st. George, it
has expended the sum of $50, 900. for
which it has not been REIN bursed.
The company respectfully invites the
attention of the secretary of the treas
ury to the fact that the islands of st.
Paul and st. George in Alaska belong
to and are in the undisputed possession
of the United States; that the right of
this government to dispose of the fur
seals born on the islands has never beep
questioned, and this being so the com
pany assumes that the right of the
United States or its lessee to take fur
seals on the islands, within unques-
toned jurisdiction, is beyond dispute
and not subject to question or interfer-
ence by England or any other foreign
state The right of this government to
take seals on its own territory is not
one of the questions to be submitted
to arbitration and has no relation to the
contention between the two countries.
