RUNAWAY Cable Train.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 31.-A runaway
cable train ran down the Union depot in
cline at 8 o'clock tonight and it was only
by the merest chance that a number of
lives were not lost. The incline is 1000
feet long and descends at an angle of 80
degrees from Summit street to the elevated
station east of the Union depot. At the
summit the street grip broke, the brakes
failed to work and the train unrestrained
shot down the incline at lightning speed.
The passenger car contained nine persons,
among them l.. j. Bricker, employed in
the Burlington ticket office, and G. e. Da-
wilson Of Neosho, Kas. The ladies in the
car rushed for the door to escape, but
Bricker and Davidson restrained them and
saved their lives. The train kept to the
rails until it reached the curve at the bot
tom of the incline, when the grip car.
jumped the track and turned over on its
side. The passenger coach crashed into it
and reduced it to sp:inters. Gripman Bos-
try was seriously injured, but he will re-
cover. None Of the passengers were hurt,
excepting G. f. Davidson. He was cut
with glass and badly injured,

He is Struggled Across the Border From
Port Arthur to Duluth and Superior
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Jan. 30.-For
several days past an agent of the United
States treasury department has been in
the city for the purpose of. investigating
the reported smuggling into the United
States from Port Arthur, Ont, of large
plumbers Of Cinnamon. The government
'0fticlals have for some time been keeping
an eye on certain owners of small vessels,
residents here and at Duluth, but not until
the close of navigation has any action
been taken. Since the beginning of
winter, however, several enterprising in
dividuals have gone into the business of
overland transportation quite extensively.
It seems that celestials are brought to the
Canadian ports. from whence they make
their way to Port Arthur. Here
they are provided with transporta-
ton into the United States in
sleighs and wagons in, most cases being
brought a distance OF about 300 miles, to
Two Harbors, MIMI, at which point the
Duluth & Iron Range railroad is taken,
and thei1 ultimate destination is reached
without molestation. A prominent vessel
owner of this city is n of the parties
toward whom suspicion is directed. Ar
rests will probably be made within a uay
or two. Government agents have a dozen
cOntraband Cinnamon that are being held
north OF here, near Port Arthur, until
everything is ready for the arrests.

OFF TO
Wardell-Ahead in South Dakota.

PIERRE, S. D., JAM Birthdays ballot
for senator in the joint session of the legis-
lature resulted: Wardell, s.; Moody, Is;
Trip, %. The others are scattering. The
convention adjourned until tomorrow.
HARDEN OR MELLETTE.
PIERRE, Sd, Jan 29.-It was under
stood that last nights caucus decided to
give WardeIl a vote to-day to try his
strength. 1t is said Harden will get the
Independent vote tomorrow, and possibly
the democrats may go to him, as he was
formerly a democrat. The fusionists could
lose eight votes and then elect him. The
democrats so far have stood by Trip, and
say they will elect him or 20 down, but the
republicans are afraid they may
90 to Harden and elect him. The republic
cans are divided as to a candidate, but can
unite on any good man who can draw
enough opposition votes to elect, but it is
doubtful if such a man can be found, with
the exception Of Governor Melleute, who is
the most probable. Another Lawrence
county republican was unseated to day and
an independent seated. Two of the three
contested seats from the same county were
confirmed to the sitting members. The
election is possible any day, but indica-
tons point to a deadlock for many days.

ductive in Michigan, caught fire at the

report the arrival at Manila of the Span
ish steamer Don Juan with the news Of
another terrible massacre of Spanish
troops and residents in the Caroline
