Railroad Men Indicted.

Topeka, April 27.-The United
States grand jury returned seventy
five indictments at noon to-day.
Among the number were indict-
ments against the following officials
of the Union Pacific railroad COM
pany for violation of the inter state
commerce law: G. s. Mellen, for
merly general traffic manager but
now of the New York and New
England; j. A. Munroe and B.
Campbell, assistant general traffic
managers; J. G. Woodruff, general
freight agent, and w. s. Barr, the
station agent at Salina.
Two distinct indictments were
returned against the officials of the
road and one against the station
agent at SaIina. The first is under
section 4 of the Interstate COM
merce law making it unlawful to
charge more for short haul than
for long haul over the same road
in the same direction. The first
count is for charging more for
carload shipment of refined sugar
on April 20, 1891, from San Fran
cisco to the II. d. Lee Mercantile
company at Salina, than for similar
shipments from San Francisco to
merchants in Kansas City, the joint
rate to Salina being ninety-fonr
cents and to Kansas City sixty-fve
cents.
The second count alleges that the
charge from Ogden, Utah, to Kansas
City was thirty-two and four-tenths
cents, while from Ogden to Salina
it was sixty;two and four-tenths.
This is to show that the local rate
was added for the use and benefit of

POEM OF "a" GRAMMAR CLASS.

Written by fifteen year-old boy.
On this the last of our school year,
When.we shall reach the end
Shall we not stop and think of things
We've tried to comprehend
All through the term we've labored hard;
Some things we've understood
Though some have failed, we all can say,
We've done the best we could.
We've born the Cross all classes bear,
We've born it well. we say,
Although deaths angel came to us and
Took one young life away.
Now let us all Gods blessing ask
On all our future work,
And pray to give us strength through life
Our duties not to shrk.
And when our work ON earth is done,
And we've sailed lfe's seas all through,
Our Father, receive the Grammar class
Of eighteen ninety-two.

PITrsBURe, July 27.-Thirty-six infor-

retary Lovejoy against strikers for aggra-
waited riot. and warrants issued. Seven
arrests were made this evening.
The police are keeping strict lookout
for anarchists. Inspector McKelvey says
Bergman is only the tool of conspir-
ators. The anarchists were getting
ready to carry out gigantic schemes
and attempts would have been made
on the lives of several prominent
citizens. This afternoon two anarchists,
Charles Finster and August Tirnopk, of
Allegheny, called at the station to see
Bauer. They were arrested. 1t has just
been learned that an attempt was made to
blow up Carnegie's Union mills in this
city. During the absence of the engineer
some one turned on the unlighted gas in
the furnaces. The discovery of the fact
was made in time to prevent an explosion.
One hundred and fifty men were in the de-
partment at the time, and many lives
would have been lost. Bauer says there
are 500 anarchists in Pittsburg and 900 in
Western Pennsylvania.

Washington Nathan Is Dead.

LONDON, July Washington Nathan,
the central figure in the famous Nathan
murder case, died last night at Boulogue
To his dying moment the murder of his
father preyed on his mind. During the
last week of his life he told over and over
his story of the death of his father, and
kept continually repeating: MY poor
father, my poor father" Here is what
the dying man said In his last moments:
The house had been undergoing repairs. 1t is
my theory that the murderer entered the house
during the day while the workmeu were there.
1t was o'clock when / entered my father 8
room. i found him on the floor murdered and
it was l who gave the alarm by going to the
window and calling. l afterward summoned
my brother who lifted the body and placed it
on the bed, thereby covering himself with
blood. No blood could ever be found on any of
my clothes. Yet people said 1 killed him. my
poor father.
Washington Nathan and his brother were sus-
pected of killing their father, millionaire, in
New York, twenty years ago. The alleged mo-
tive was TO get possession OF the old man S
money. They were accused of the crime, but
could not be convicted. They claimed that II
robber committed the murder. The weapon
used carpenters tool. Tho safe was
robbed and the victims watch and diamonds
taken. The house was at the corner OF Twenty
third street, Fifth avenue and Broadway. Old
Nathan was II prominent Jew broker, and the
affair created great sensation. Young Nathan
was a worthless but not a wicked young man,
a handsome fellow. He had had trouble with
his father owing to his dssoute habits. Wash
iugton proved alibi by tile testimony of a
prostitute with whom he had passed the night
A reward OF $1,000 was offered ior the arrest OF
the murderer, but all in vain.

wires between the two cities today in the

Houten, who was the go-between, had all

"harmonizing" scheme was that Calkins
telegraphed ne would accept the nomina-
tion for governor and Nelson Bennett
promised to support him. With this
groundwork, the slate is to include either
Forrest, of King, or Wilson, of Kit

Houten is to be given the secretaryship of

the attorney geueraship. Whitman could
ask for nothing nor expect anything in
such an arrangement. The combination

SIX THOUSAND PERSONS PERISHED.
Particulars of the Terrible Eruption at
Great Sangir Island.

AMSTERDAM, July 27.-The Handelsqad
publishes letters from Ceebes, giving de-
tails of the recent eruption at Great Sangir
island. The eruption commenced at p.
m, unheralded by the slightest seismic
warning. An immense volume of flame
and smoke and masses of stones suddenly
burst from the volcano. Stones fell all
over the island, killing hundreds of ma
tives who were busy in the fields. Those
who succeeded in reaching the sup
posed shelter of their homes found
no refuge, many houses hav-
ing been crushed beneath the weight of
falling stones, and the roofs having COL
lapsed under the weight of ashes, burying
the inmates, in many instances whole
families. Streams of lava flowed with
frightful rapidity down the slopes of the
mountain.
1t is estimated that over 5000 persons
have perished on the slopes of the noun
tain and many hundreds more in the low
lands, but the exact loss of life is not
yet known. The island is now threatened
with famine, all crops having been
destroyed. In many parts the island wells
became dry. The Dutch authorities are
doing the best they can to alleviate dis

Australia brought word today that the
British cruiser Champion left Honolulu on
July Is for the Southwest, and it was
thought in Honolulu that her mission wa.
to annex Johnson or CORVALLIS island,
which lies 700 miles southwest of the
Island of Oahu. Johnson island consists
of number of rocky islets of coral forma-
ton. and was discovered by Captain John
son, OF the British man-of-war CORVALLIS,
in 1907. The Pacific Guano Company. of

WARpNER, Idaho, July 27.-The order re-
lieving the company of United States
troops stationed at the Bunker Hill mine
created CONSERVATION among the nom
union men today, and about forty de-
manded their time. A guard of ten men
was left there to pacify the workmen. No
more prisoners will be paroled. They are
to be taken before the United States COM
missioner's court, which is to be convened,
and when bound over they will be delivered
into the custody of the United States
marshal, and i'm this way the state
authorities will be relieved from the
necessity of providing for them. One
hundred and six prisoners are confined
here in a building but poorly adapted to
such purposes, and the place is infested
with vermn. At Wallace there are 110
prisoners. If all the troops should be
withdrawn it is said there would be an
exodus of non-union miners. The war
department desires to withdraw all the
troops as soon as possible, but the state
authorities are using every effort to retain
one or two companies of United States
troops.

day, was released this morning. He de-
clares that he will prosecute the mine
