San ANTONIO, Tex, March 26. = The
Southern Pacific officials here received
word today that the United States Indus
trial army of several hundred men were
put off the trains at n siding near Finley
station, on the Ell Paso division, and that
trains were run through without stop
ping. The so called army broke tho lock
on the switch and threw 1t open, causing
the next eastbound train to take the sid
ing. The men climbed upon the cars and
Conductor Martin pulled them to Finley,
where he tied up the train pending the ar
rival OF orders. The order came for him
to keep the train tied up, as tho company
had decided not to carry the men. Several
other trains have arrived at Finley since.
aud all are tied up, as the army shows no
disposition to let any of the trains depart
without them. Finley is an isolated sta
ton, and the army will starvs out II they
remain there few days.

cell has appointed twelve special police
men to assist the regular force when the
army reaches here tomorrow. He said
that while he did not apprehend any trou-
BILE whatever with the army. he made the
appointments as a cautionSS measure.
There is we'll defined belief that Mr..
Coxey intends to desert the army here to-
morrow and go to Chicago on the evening
express. 1t is said that he has several
trotters there that he vents to sell at a
horse sale on Wednesday. He is expected
to return and take charge of the army
again at Beaver Falls on Sunday Bets
were offered in the hotels here today at 9
to l, with no takers, that the army would
disband before they reached Pittsburg
In contradiction of the generally ac-
cepted belief that Coxey is wealthy, Mas
sillon people here told those who came
here within the past few days that his
property is heavily encu,nbcred. The re-
ports eliminated last night In the state
ment that Coxey will be obliged to pay a
heavy mortgage on the stallion Acolyte by
Wednesday or suffer foreclosure He

gran'mother never heerd a word for nearly

sailed with Lijah, an he tol her that when
they got to Gibraltar her husban was very
sick an had to go ashore.
An n few months later when the man
went back he tried to find him all learned
that poor Lijah had died an been buried
out there all alone.

that he was going to sea. He'd got place as

gard TO his action on the srignlorage bill

If anything increasing in numbers. Ii Is
stated that there are ten requests for
veto to one asking the president to sign
the bill, The president may hold the bill
until Friday, March 30. and on that day

MINERS KILLED.

Accident in Williamstown Col
iiery-LefC Loniy Families.
g WILLIAMsTowN, Pa, July 19.-Three
miners were killed and two badly in
jured in an accident which happened in
the Wlllamstown colliery. The dead
are:
JOHN LLEwELLYN, aged fifty.
JOSEPH RADENBUsH, aged thirty
eight
MARTIN TATE, aged forty.
The injured are William Clark and
miner whose name has not yet been as
certained. Both the wounded men will
recover. The accident happened as the
men were coming 10 the surface after
having completed their days work.
just how it occurred is not quite clear,
but it is supposed that the hoist
ing apparatus became disarranged and
in some manner forced the car in which
the men were ascending from the tack
and pressed it against the slope. The
occupants were dragged along and
squeezed between the car and the roof
until the machinery stopped, All of
the dead men were married and leave
large families. The coroner Will hold
an inquest tom orrOW
