The San Jose mine on Chloride hill, now
under bond to Hon. Willis Sweet, Idaho's
congressman, and Messrs. Stannus and
Mix, of Moscow, Idaho, is being worked by
a force of men in charge of A. A. Head
rick. This property is one of the Chloride
hill group and will undoubtedly. in the
near future. prove to be a valuable mine.
Lettrick Bros. are pushing work on the
Grand Republic mine, at the Bitter Root
summit, and will continue the work during
the winter. The Grand Republic shows
plenty of galena and carbonate ore on the
surface and the tunnel, now being run.
will tap the ledge at great depth and prove
the value of the property. Everything
points to a large body of ore in this mine.

YoNKERs, N. T., December 24.-On the
Hudson River road tonight the st. Louis
express and Niagara Falls special trains
collided at Hastings. The locomotive of
one train crushed into the rear sleeper of
the other express and several cars, mostly
sleepers. were telescoped. Several persons
are reported killed and many injured.
Some say the number of killed Is eight;
others claim that 10 were crushed or scald-
ed to death. The locomotive, when 1t
crushed into the sleeper, exploded and the
escaping steam did deadly work on the
victims in the wreck. The accident was
the outcome of previous accident In Sing
Sing tunnel, which blocked the track. The
weather was thick. The dead and injured
were brought here on special train. No
list of killed or wounded has been secured
as yet. The latest estimate is seven killed,
three OF whom are identified, and eight in

SURPRISE AT WATERFORD.

Proves To Be the Victor.
DUBLIN, December 24.-The parliament
ary election in Waterford yesterday result
ed in the election of John E. Redmond. the
Parnellite. The official count of the elec
tion shows that Mr.. Redmond received
1775, making majority over Mr.. Davitt Of
546. The announcement of the official fig
ures was followed by scene of the wild
est enthusiasm. 1t is customary for the
defeated candidate to second the vote of
thanks, and Mr.. Davitt did not fail in this
duty. He took occasion to add, however,
that he would rather lose the election than
win by combined terrorism and rowdyism.
This remark provoked the most uproarious
outburst of protest from the Parnellites.
aud for time 1t looked as though the Off
cial canvass might end In free fight
Some of the more hOt-headed shook their
fists in Mr.. Davitt's face and threatened
him with all sorts of dire punishment
Amid the noise and confusion could be
heard cries of shame and coward. 4"
For a time the position of the defeated
candidate was very precari0us. The up
roar continued several minutes, when the
police intervened and, by threats and the
free use of physical force, succeeded in re-
storing order. When Mr.. Davitt with
drew from the counting room he was es-
. corted to his hotel by a number of police
men. Both Mr.. Redmond and Mr.. Davitt
left Waterford this afternoon, and started
for Dublin. A detachment of hussars es-
c0rted Mr.. Davitt to the railway station.
He was offered no molestation. Mr.. Red
mond was escorted by a large number of
bis supporters, who engaged the services
of several bands Of music. This is the first
bye election won by the Parnellites since
the split in the Irish party. The result is
big surprise for the McCarthyites. Mr..
Redmond is young man, genial and elo-
quent. He was born In 1856, the son of a
gentleman. at one time member of Parlia-
ment for Wexford. Trinity College, Dub
lin. numbers him among her alumni. In
1881 he won seat in Parliament. Two
years atterward he made trip to Austria
liza in the interests of the Irish party, then
unbroken under the leadership of Mr..
Parnell, and took home about $4,000 for
the treasury. He married the daughter of
a wealthy Australian. In 1884, he was
present with Thomas Sexton in the irish
convention, held ct Boston, and he was in
America second time, in 1886, when he at
tended the Chicago convention of the
Irish American League, in company with
William O'Brien and John Deasey. Mr.
Redmond, then member of Parliament for
Wexford, was convicted under the crimes
act in 1888, and imprisoned without hard
labor for five sweeks. He is reported to
have declared himself 'the elected leader
of the parliamentary party"
