Caused by His Own Carelessness.

DETROIT, Aug. 23.--Coroner Brown
held an inquest on the body of John
Sanger. the farmer who was struck and
killed by a Michigan Central train at
Slocum's junction while he was driv-
ing over the track with team at
tached to a hay rack. The jury were
taken to the place in order to show
them that the track was clear for half
a mile and person could see train
approaching. The engineer of the
train testified that Sanger was standing
up in the rack and that he blew the
danger signal, but he paid no attention
to it. The jury found that Sanger
came to his death by his own careless
ness, but censured the railroad company
for removing the body before coroner
or justice of the peace had viewed it.
When the body was picked up it was
brought to this city on the same train
that struck Sanger. At Trenton there
were some rimors that Sanger had
been killed and then placed on the
track, but these vagaries were dispelled
by the testimony.

President Walters Has an Armed Force at

Topeka, Aug. 23.-Telegrams show
that the threats by President Walters
of the coal miners union, to prevent
miners from going to work at Frontenac,
in the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad company's mines were not idle
He said he would bring 1000 men to
Frontenac to drive the strikers who had
consented to go to work from the
mines. The first company, 80 in num-
Der, arrived at Frontenac Monday night
and Tuesday 300 more went into camp.
The sheriff deputized as many mer-
chants and professional men as he could
find and started for the scene of the
threatened battle. Guns were tele-
graphed for to all of the neighboring
towns and every possible preparation
was made to protect the miners.
Thirty men went to work Tuesday
morning, but the presence of Walters
and his crowd intimidated 200 others.
The company will resist and unless
Walters backs down from his present
warlike attitude, bloodshed will GER
tainly result.
