TROPPAU, austrian Silesia), June 15.-
A terrible disaster, involving great loss
of life, is reported from Karwin. Full
details have not reached here up to the
time this dispatch Is sent, but it is be-
lieved that at least 200 miners have been
killed.
An explosion took place at 10 o'clock
last night in a pit of the Franziska
mines at the place mentioned and re-
suited in the death of 120 miners.
The first explosion was soon followed
by series of other explosions in the
mines, the most disastrous of the latter
being in the Johannes pit, where eighty
miners were killed.
A rescue party which descended into
one of the pits at 8 o'clock this morning,
also perished. The venrilator shafts of
several OF the pits were destroyed and
the fire spread in all directions.
The Franziska ard Johannes mines
are owned by Count Won Larisch.
The official report places the number
killed at $50 with twenty persons fatally
injured.
The rescue party which perished this
morning was composed of ten persons.
Fourteen bodies have already been re-
covered. There were five distinct ex-
plosions, the last one occurring shortly
after 1 o'clock.
The galleries of the mine are still on
fire and it is believed the majority of the
bodies will be consumed.

NOT SURPRISED.

The Kansas POPuiist Delegation in Con-
gress Expected Suffrage to Be Endorsed
WAsHINGTON, June 15.-The declara-
tiOn of the Kansas POpulist convention
for the woman suffrage amendment was
not j surprise to the congressional dele
CATION from that state.
Representative Broderick said today
that he would not be surprised to see the
cause succeed at the polls. Not few
Republicans are in favor of it he thinks,
while the expression of the Populist del
egates may be fairly taken as showing
its strength in that party.
In the event of an election of a woman
to congress, an interesting question will
be presented concerning her eligibility.
The house is the judge of the qualitica-
tions of its members, but it is thought
that state constitution could cause
a presumption in favor of woman
elect that would largely influence the
house.
Representative Baker believes that a
woman suffrage amendment would carry
in Kansas.

THE MURDERER HERE.
Osborn Who Shot Handle at Fl OIton Last
Night Brought to Topeka

Osborn Who Shot Handle at Fl HOIton Last
Night Brought to Topeka
Clinton G. Osborn, who shot and killed
Lawyer Charles Handle with a shot gun
on the streets of HoIton last evening was
brought to Topeka this morning by Dep
uty Sheriff VIM. Reasoner. He was Wis
tied at the county Jail this forenoon by
JOURNAL reporter. The murderer was
brought here because the Jail at HOlton
has been condemned by the health board
and is being used to keep coal in.
Osborn, the murderer, Is slightly below
the medium height, and weighs not more
than 130 pounds. He is 45 years of age,
and wears full beard, and Is a saddler
by trade.
When the reporter saw him, he was
calm, though the calmness was forced at
times and et others the prisoners eyes
would roam absently about the room.
Once only did he show any aggravated
signs of mental excitement, and that was
in speaking of the cause of his crime.
"1e betrayed my daughter" said he,
his hands clutching his breast, and his
eyes fearful and bloodshot, while his
spare form shook with Unsurpassed
emotion.
The young woman in question is 21
years of age and had been employed in
Handles office as cOpyist.
Il can't say what time L met him"
said Osborn slowly, as though the words
hurt him, ''but IL was some time before
evening. udQ SHOb gun Will Lu0
and accused him of running my girl.
His brother was with him. He said he
had not and could prove it. He turned
and started to leave me and / raised the
gun and shot him in the breast l think
killed him instantly | then went over
to the court house and told them what l
had done and gave myself up. l never
| had any trouble with him before"
There was a rumor this morning that
! Osborn had been brought here to escape
| lynching, and the reporter asked him
about it.
mo, think not" said he; "there was
! a big crowd around of course, but /
| didn't hear anything of that"
| The murdered man was a lawyer and
| leading Populist politician, and was in
| Topeka the night before the murder as
| delegate to the state convention. He
was thirty years of age, unmarried and
was we'll known all over the First con-
\ gressional district which he had stumped
| during several campaigns. He was a
| graduate of the Ann Arbor law school
| and had built up a large practice that
| extended over the district He has
always been considered a moral young
man and the story of his misdeed, if true, is
! surprising to his acquaintance, among
whom no man could have been held in
higher esteem. Topeka people who
( attended the convention will remem ber
| him as the smooth faced young man who
| ably seconded the nomination of George
/ w. Clark Wednesday forenoon.
