Miners Attacked by Strikers - Two Men
Fatally Wounded and Several Others
Badly Injured.
ASHLAND, KY, Oct. 19.-The outbreak
that has been expected for some days
in the Carter county mining district
came yesterday morning in the am
bushing of the miners of the Straight
Creek Coal Company by the strikers.
The miners were fred upon from the
bushes along the hills as they were en-
route to the mine and number were
wounded. Jack Marcum and John
Morris were perhaps fatally shot, while
Bob Evans, John Adams and several
others were also reported badly in
jured. The bullets in each case came
from Winchester rifles. During the
balance OF the day the appearance of a
miner at the pit mouth or the tipple
was a signal for renewed firing.
Word was sent to Grayson, the coun-
ty seat, and the sheriff and posse of
deputies were quickly summoned. They
spent the day securing the hills and
succeeded in capturing seven meu, but
they were unarmed when found and
, protested innocence. They were re-
moved to Grayson for safe-keeping, and
will be held for further developments.
The excitement is intense and extra
guards are being put out, as further
trouble is expected.

Residents OF an Indiana Town Greatly
Excited Over n Strange Discovery.
MUNoIB, Ind, Oct. 19.-The residents
Of Selma and vicinity, six miles east OF
this city, are greatly excited over q
discovery that has been made by gas
well contractor, Samuel MCPHERSON, of
this city. A few days since, while Mr..
Mcpherson was drilling well there
for the Farmland Natural Gas Com
pany, his men were greatly alarmed
when the heavy drill, which weighs
nearly ton, took sudden drop as If
in bottomless pit. 1t had penetrated
the earth about 1870 feet when it
plunged downward as far as the rope
would permit
The drill was pulled out, lowered
again and the 1000 feet of rope was not
long enough to reach bottom. Two
long pieces of eight-inch casing pipe
were next lowered and they too were
lost The driller next cut some small
trees and dropped them into the hole,
with the same result. The cave-in
seems to be very deep and is believed
to be the same cavern found at Bluff
ton, forty miles away, where just such
hole was found recently

McKEEsPoRT, Pa, Oct. 19.-Dyna-

Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Long
Run bridge Wednesday evening and
serious wreck narrowly averted. The
stick of dynamite was tied to the rail.
The Bissell accommodation, which ar
rives here at 1855 p. m, encountered it.
The explosion damaged the track and
tore off one Of the front wheels from
the engine. The passengers were bad
ly frightened and somewhat shaken
up, but no one was seriously injured.
No motive can be assigned for the deed.
1t is believed, however, that the ex-
plosive was placed on the track to

SIX INDICTMENTS

Returned by the Federal Grand Jury at
Chicago Against Prominent Railway Of
fcials.
CHICAGO. Oct. 20.-Six indictments
were returned yesterday by the federal
grand jury in connection with the in
vestigation which has been conducted
by the interstate commerce commits
sion, District Attorney Dixon and At
torney Shields, who was retained as
special counsel for the commission. The
names of the indicted persons were
withheld by the attorneys for the gov
ernment and the commission, their rea-
son for observing secrecy being that
the warrants for their arrest would not
be placed in the hands of the United
States marshal until to-day, and it was
feared that three of them, who were
not as prominent as the others, might
elude arrest by leaving the city.
The names of the three most promi-
nent men indicted are known. They
are; Joseph w. Reinhart, ex-president
and ex-receiver of the Santa Fe rail-
road; John A. Hanley, ex-traffic man
/ ager of the Santa Fe; Nelson Morris,
president of the Nelson Morris Com
pany, packers and shippers of meat at
! the Union stock yards. The three
whose names are not known are rail-
road men who are or have been con-
nected with the Santa Fe railroad.
The railroad men are charged with
violating the Interstate commerce law
by giving rebates to shippers over the
lines of the Santa Fe system.
In the case of Nelson Morris the in
dictment alleges that he shipped stock
from Kansas City to Chicago under q
special rate allowed him by Reinhart
of $40 car, which is $1,000 a 'car less
tha8 the scheduled tariff of the com
pany as filed with the interstate com
merce commission. These indictments
are the result of the commissions in
vestigation of the charge that the
books of the Santa Fe company showed
that millions of dollars had been pait
in rebates to shippers within the las
few years. Attorney Shields said las
night that there would be strong evi
dence to sustain the indictment
against all when they came to trial.

Exports Have Decreased and Imports Are

New YORK, Oct. 20.-R, g. Dun &

Cotton below six cents and wheat be-
low fifty-fve cents, each lower than
ever since present classi6cations were
known, with exports of gold instead OF
products at such prices in October are
the salient features in business this
week. Distribution of goods to con-
sumers goes on fairly, with gains at
nearly all points in comparison with
last year, but not yet at a rate to sus-
tain the present volume of manufac-
turing production, so that prices weak
en- little.
The domestic trade represented by
railroad earnings in October is 3.4 per
cent less than last year and 1874 per
cent. less than in 1892. The payments
through the principal clearing houses
for the third week Of October are 2.s
per cent greater than last year but 31.5
less than In 1892.
Domestic exports from this city in
two weeks Of October were IS per cent
less in value than last year, while the
increase in the value Of imports has
been 81 per cent. Much Of the decrease
in exports is in price, but in August
and September the quantity Of wheat
decreased over third. Provisions and
cotton gained, but oil decreased, and
in minor products exports in septem-
Der declined 16 per cent
