Detectives Ivanhss and Vallsla, oil

Of OswsEe. \. 7. There were two
charges against Clifford, bsth Of
grand larceny in the second degree.
They were made by George w.
Harnan, lawyer and capitalists
of No. 213 Neal blsck, Oswsgs,
"Harman alleges that ednrisg the

Clifford said hs owned the smslter,
which was worth 100000. The
representations Of Clifford. Har-

who 70 also known as Cslsnsl Clh-
ford, is well kneEa in Oswego and
vicinity As q lecturer and stump
speaker. 1t is said hs took the
stump for President Cleveland

Oswsge csanty, and that Clifford
was rsssn ns nded also by Cslsnsl

that he went to see Colsnsl lager

to move into larger quarters. Their new

nearly opposite the old store, and is
fitted up into one of the finest and most
elaborate bicycle agencies on the coast.
Mr.. Oowan states that the business has
grown entirely out of the old store but
now he would have ample room for dis

WILKEsBARRE. Pa, May ia plot,
which for fiendishness has never been
equalled in the annals OF crime in this
section, was nipped In the bud today
through the confession OF one OF the
Keystone colliery rioters. He said the
strikers had secured nine kegs
of giant powder, almost enough
to destroy half the city, and
secreted them near the house OF Fore
man Hestop. This evening. had it not
been for the arrest OF the ringleaders Of
yesterdays riot. it was the intention OF
the strikers to put the powder under
the houses of all the bosses of the
mines and set it off. The result
would have been something terrible,
taking into consideration the families
OF the bosses mum Der nearly 800 persons.
Despite this evidence against the ring
leaders of the riotous Hungarians. the
six men who were taken into custody
this morning were today admitted to
bail. The nine kegs OF powder were se-
cured by the oft1cere.

Coal company's mines in this city are on
fire at the bottom end. The company
this morning asked the strikers to let
the men TO 60 to work extinguishing the
flames. A meeting was called and by
close vote it was decided not to
allow the men to 60 down. The
meeting was about to adjourn when
Vice-President Murray OF the State
Miners organization arrived. He strongly
urged Reconsideration OF the vote.
He said such action as they had taken
was putting club in the operators
hands, by which their cause would be
defeated.
In spite of Murray's circumstances
the miners adjourned without recon
sidering the vote, and the French an
srchists set up a shout OF Let them
burn" Tear them down." etc. Tine
operators sfe determined to have the
men. II they do there will likely be
very hot-headed and are terribly agi-

Western Rosds SIN equsbbling Over
Immigrant Rates.
CHICAGO, May 19.-rhe general meet
ing oil the western passenger lines, which
was to have taken place today. has been
postponed till next Tuesday.
A conference lasting all day was held
between representatives of the Rock
Island, Burlington, Atchison and Union
Pacific lines, but nothing definite was
arranged by them.
The trou bles OF the Western Freight
association are now apparently over, for
the time being at least. The action OF
the Atchison and Missouri Pacific in de-
claring that they were willing to put up
the rates has restored harmony all along
the line. and no further trouble is looked
for at present.
Late this evening the Missouri Pacific
made demand in relation to the settle
ment OF the immigrant rate troubles,
which bids fair to upset everything. 1t
demands that its eastbound immigrant
business should receive the same con-
sideration as the westbond. This, the
other lines claim. is simply allowing the
Union Pacific to manipulate the east
bound rates at its pleasure, while the
other lines are bound by an agreement.
1t is not believed the Atchison will allow
this condition to exist. This means the
destruction of the emigrant agreement
and unless that is settled everything
else in the way of an agreement between
the western lines is doomed,

Conductor Nicolas Hill.
There are no injured that are liable to
die. The wreck was between extra
freight No. 80, westbound, and the regu.
lar train under Conductor Hill. Hill
was out with his train and expected to
take the siding just east of the tunnel.
He sent fagman ahead and was back
ing up with a boarding car in front.
He had followed the fagman too closely,
and just as he entered the tunnel En-
gineer Jones with the extra freight
train reached the other end, his train
going 80 miles an hour. He and his
fireman saw the danger in time to Jump.
The engine crashed into the boarding car
in which were ak doomed men. The
car was smashed into splinters and the
engine plowed almost through it, chok-
ing up the tunnel with debris. Toe IL
fat and Dox cars we're piled together in
the rear, making access to the wreck al
most impossible. Only one mans voice
could be beard-that of John Condry,
calling in the most pitiable manner for
help. No one could reach him, and
short time afterwards his cries were
stilled.
Drs. Miller and McNamora went to the
wreck from this place on special train.
A wrecking train was put to work at
both ends ana tonight the bodies we're
reached, with the exception of Condry.
They were brought here. A singular
circumstance noted is that all of the
men had their heads crushed, and with
two exceptions were almoat uninjured in
any other way. Survivors OF the pile
train say the hagnnan sent out By Con-
ductor Hill had ample time to get TO q
designated point and in fact should have
been there half an hour before the ar
rival of the extra freight, the coming OF
which none of them knew OF.
The hagman denies this and says Hill
followed him before he had time to get
out OF tine tunnel and he was in it when
tine freight came in. All the passengers,
mails and express trains have had to
transfer over the hill and the tunnel.
The freight traffic was suspended until
midnight.
