A Rnnnwnv Engine.

BUFFALO, Nov % There was an ex-
citing time at the Dingens street crossing
of the Lehigh Valley railroad. A runaway
engine came rushing at high rate Of speed
toward the crossing. Not soul was
aboard The engine swayed from side TO
side with its great momentum, and the
people who saw it coming thought twould
jump the track 1t ran ON, however, and
dashed straight toward engine No. 518
which stood on the main track The run
away engine was No. go. II ran into the
rear Of No. 513, lifted it from the track and
made "A complete wreck Of it. No. 279 was
also wrecked, and the track was blocked
Twenty-three men from the roundhouse
near by were put to work clearing away
the wreck. 1t was said that the runaway
engine had come clear from Scott street
and that it had a clear road until it reached
Dingens street
When full details were learned, IL was
ascertained that the strikers had had moth
ing to do with the runaway engine. The
runaway and wreck resulted from an ac-

Trouble Is Ernected.

WMKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 22-Colonel
Kock. commander of the Ninth regiment,
national guard, is very nervous man. He
says he has trouble ahead. If his regiment
is called out. he knows what the result
will be- 1t is safe to say that nine out of
every ten men in the regiment sympathize
with the strikers. In fact the whole regi-
ment is made up of men who toll in mines
or on railroads.
Trouble is expected at the Lehigh Valley
station, and Sheriff Walters has sworn in
35 deputies. Some of them are desperate
looking fellows. They are all armed and
under the command of Detective O'Brien
superintendent Esser expects to get an
order to move freight soon. II the strikers
should interfere, then the deputy sheriffs
will be called upon to protect the crews in
charge of the train. AS time progresses
the situation becomes more critical at Port
Bowkley. Last evening all the signal
lights were broken, which prevented pas
senger trains from running. The act was
done by boys. The strikers disclaimed all
responsibility for it.

A Brute Taken From Court and Hanged
In the Very Building.

OTTUMwA, Ia, Nor. Zs..--slg Gustav
son, laborer, aged %. who recently came
10 this city, was hanged by mob on the
main street of Ottumwa for an assault on
a little girl committed Monday night.
When Gustavson was brought to JUS
tice Truths Office for preliminary exami-
nation, fight ensued between the father,
grandfather and other relatives Of the child
and the officers.
The culprit was finally wrested from the
hands of the officers and dragged out OF
the office door Here the mother Of the
child stood with the rope and gave IL into
the hands Of the mob. II was Immediately
placed about the wretchs neck, and he
was hanged TO the balustrade of the out
side stairway leading to the Office. A great
crowd had by this time collected.
No effort was made to cut the villain
down After hanging II minutes the rope
broke, and the body fell TO the pavement.
Il was then seized by the officers and hur-
ried TO the Jail The mob, fearing life was
not yet extinct, followed and demanded
the body Mayor Iaforce assured them
that the fellow was dead and ordered them
to disperse. Still they refused TO do so
Finally committee for the crowd was Sc
lected TO view the remains, which was
done. Upon report from the committed
that life was extinct the mob dispersed.

sickness. Monday was the first time he

Up TO 10 minutes of dissolution he talked
with his watchers, and he appeared 20 drop

a struggle and with no warning whatever.
Only DR. Gott and two members of his
family were present to watch the flicker

The surgeons seem disincliled to offer
any reason for the sudden and fatal change
in the patients condition. A post mortem
will be held to determine the cause Of the
generals death. Colonel l.. J. Rusk, who
had been constantly at his fathers bedside
for two weeks, departed for his home in
Chippewa Falls Monday night

Messages announcing the death Of Gen
eral Rusk were sent 10 ex-president Har-
rison, members of the cabinet who were as
sociated with him and many other prom
inent persons throughout the country
The funeral viii occur Friday.
General Ruek's death was due to a COM
plication of disorders. the origin Of which
dates back several years. Nearly 10 years
ago, while governor Of the state, General
Rusk had a first attack similar to that
Wnlcu lfoelfuteu MIN on DIS ldhl Dcu OF
sickness. The physicians then decided that
the trouble was disorder OF the stomach.
The house where General Rusk died has
been the family residence for many years
Blue books, congressional directories and
biographical dictionaries give General
Rusks occupation rs that Of n farmer, and
rightfully. He owns one Of the finest
farms in Vernon county. IL lies north Of
the village of Niroqua and is in a high
state Of cultivation. The dwelling is a
plain frame structure, a story and half in

dwelling are eight in number and are not

handsomely furnished. Exterior and in

ever, and carries a look of solid comfort.
| The apartment in which General Rusk suf-

is on the second floor and at the front OF
the building The walls are low, and the
furnishings are in keeping with those OF

A HOTEL HORROR.
sih Men Burned to Death While Struggling
to Escape.

BEAVER, Pa, Nov. pa frightful dis
aster occurred at the government dam, two
nsiies below the city, in which six men
were roasted to death and several were
badly injured. The disaster occurred at
the Morrill, House, a three story frame
building used as hotel and boarding
house to accommodate the employees Of
the new government dam which has been
under course of construction for the past
year. The hotel caught fire while the men
were asleep
The dead are: Jerry Wrenn, boss stone
mason, aged 60, and his son Dan, aged -,
Of Pittsburg; John Kelly, a laborer, Of
Woods Run, aged 40; Robert Stanley, an
engineer, Of New Brighton, aged 35; Bar
ney Wilkes, stonemason, of East street,
Allegheny, aged 60; James Hughes an en-
gineer, Of CHARTERS, aged 49,
As most of the bodies were found close
together under the stairway it is thought
that the poor fellows, suifocating as they
struggled to reach the usual means of es-
cape, had approached the stairs either sin
gly or together, and they only gave up the
fight for life when they found the stairway
a blazing furnace. The coroner will hold
the bodies until noon, and those that are
not identified will I've buried at the county's
expense. There were no fire escapes and
it is probable that some measures may be
taken to punish the alleged violation Of
the laws requirements in the matter.

ROCHESTER, Nov 22.-Only one train
was moved on the Rochester division of
the Lehigh Valley road. Representatives
of the five brotherhoods-cond train
men, engineers, firemen and telegraphers-
held meeting at the strike headquarters
here, and general order was issued, which
was promptly obeyed by every employee
Of the Lehigh road. The order included
rot only the Rochester branch. but took in
the Batavia and Niagara Falls branches.
and on these branches it was as promptly
complied with as on the Rochester division.
Not a wheel is turning on any Of these di-
visions. This completes the tieup of the
road west Of Sayre.
The strike leaders here say that the claim
that the New York Central road is not a
brotherhood road is false. They say that
were an order issued to the operatives on
that road similar to the one just issued
the road would be absolutely crippled.
They go further and say that if the Lehigh
road does not succunb within reasonable
time they will tie mp the Erie, the New

his large heartedness and his answering
loyalty to his country and 20 his friends.
Ny personal and official relations with him
were also characterized by the greatest
