Washington, Nov. 2O.-Democratic
senators who are at present in the
city decline almost without exception
to discuss the probable plans of the
Democratic leaders In the senate
with reference to the supplemental
tariff bills at the forthcoming short
session Of congress. The majority of
them are content with saying that
they have had no opportunity for
party conference, and that they do
not wish to, at this time, express per-
sonal opinions. 1t would seem prob
able from this that a general Demo
cratic conference among the party
members in the senate is among the
strong probabilities soon after the
conyening of the next session for the
purpose of determining of this point.
1t is, of course, well remembered
that faction of the Democratic side
of the chamber Is opposed to
any further efforts at tariff legisla-
ton by the present congress, and 1t is
thought possible that the result Of the
late elections may have influenced
others to take this view. Senator
Voorhees,, chairman of the senate com
mittee on finance, declines to talk
for publication on all subjects con-
nected with congress or politics. Sen.
ator Harris, also Democratic mem
Der Of this committee, contented him
self with referring an Associated
Press reporter who accosted him on
this subject, to his remarks upon the
point before the adjournment of the
last session, 1t is recalled that he
then announced his purpose eff try
ing to get the supplemental bills up al
the earliest opportunity in the short
| session.

killed. Eight lost their lives at Nam
erlino and San Eufema, being crushed
to death, while many others were in

some instances the work of repairing
damaged buildings has already COM
meneed.
Large electric lights have been
erected to illuminate the channel un-
til the light house, destroyed by the
earthquakes, shall have been rebuilt
Renewed shocks were felt yesterday
and to-day at Milazze, eighteen miles
west of Messina. So severe were the
movements Of the earth that great
seams appeared In the walls Of many
houses The inhabitants of this place
| are still badly frightened and remain
camped in the open streets and spaces
fearing to return to their homes. Nc
further shocks have been reported
from other places.

MINERS ARE KILLED.


Pittshurg, Nov 81. Sixteen cars Of
coal broke through the bridge over
Brush creek at Larimer station, and
six or seven miners are supposed to
be buried under the wreck. The train
was on its way down the Larimer
branch of the Pennsylvania road to
the main line. When within six car
lengths of the bridge car broke down
md when 1t reached the bridge 1t tore
it's way through, letting the cars down
into the creek in confused mass. All
of the trainmen escaped, but the min
erS who were on the cars going to
their homes, were carried down and
are now buried rnder the debris.
Brakeman Carroll, who was on the
rear of the train saw the men when
they left the mine for home. He says
that there were five or six miners on
the car that went down. 1t is very
certain that five men have been killed,
as this number left the mines when
the train started. and this number are
missing from their homes. After q
diligent search only three names of the
missing men could be learned, these
being Frank Rice, a German, who Is
said to have been working In the
mines only two weeks, and who was a
comparative stranger in this region;
August Thome and his son, Fred
Thome, Belgians, who have only been
working in the mines for the past
three weeks. Two Italians are also
known to be in the wreck.

HANGED IN THE Hills.
A CoId-BIooded Murderer Expiafes
His Crime.


Sturgis, s. D., Nov. 17.-One OF the
most cold-blooded crimes ever COM
mitted In this state was lawfully
avenged to-day by the hanging here
Of Jay Hicks.
Some time in October, 1893, Hicks
went to neighbor named William
Walker and told him that he (Hicks)
knew where he could make a raise:
that there was an old man in the vi
cinity who lived alone, who had cat
tie and money. The old man referred
to was John Meyer, O wealthy old
cattle owner. By persistent urging
Jay Hicks secureaL the consent of
Walker to participate In the attempted
robbery. Robert Hicks, brother OF
Jay, also consented to aid. The men
purchased a 44-caliber revolver, and
OH the evening Of Dee. Ia last, started
for the home Of their intended victim.
Before arriving at the place they dis
guised themselves. Meyer was found,
and the men prevailed upon him to
enter the house and prepare supper
for them. Jay Hicks was the direct
ing spirit In all that was done. Upon
entering the house Jay Hicks removed
a handkerchief from his face, and
probably having made up his mind to
kill the old man made no further at
tempt to conceal his identity.
After supper had been prepared and
themen had eaten, their host took his
place at the table. Finishing his sup
per he arose. At this juncture, ac-
cording to the testimony OF Walker.
who subsequently turned states evi.
dence, he heard the click Of a pistol
in the hands Of Jay Hicks, who
whistled and then said: "Hhere, old
man, throw up your hands" Hicks
pulled the trigger and Meyer fell to the
floor. While lying there severely
wounded, Jay Hicks demanded his
money, and, after repeated protesta-
tions on the part of the old man that
he had no money, Hicks placed the
muzzle of the pistol withing six inches
Of his head and again fired, sending a
ball through the old mans mead, kill
ing him instantly. They secured q
rifing sum Of money and set fire to
the house. The fire went out shortly
after, the evidences of the crime were
discovered, and some shrewd work ON
the part of Meade county officials
fastened the crime where it belonged.
Robert Hicks is now serving O life
sentence at hard labor In he state
penitentiary, and Walker is serving q
ten-year sentence In the same place.
The hanging to-day is the closing chap
ter In the bloody crime.

West Superior, Wis, Nov. IL. -
Chief Luton and Detectives Arnshaw
and Purchase, of the Superior police
department, to-day unearthed an ex-
ceptionally well equipped outfit for
counterfeiting coin, and through them
the government secured the arrest OF
the counterfeiters A great amout Of
spurious coin has been In circulation
at Duluth and Superior OF late, and
the authorities were impressed with
the idea that the stuff was minted
here. The coins ranged from nickels
to $50 gold pieces, and the mint cap
tured to-day included molds for every,
denomination from 8 cents to SO.
The mint was located at GOT Ham
mond avenue, opposite church. In
1t for year had resided Aesop Parl-
ardes and family and a boarder named
Frank Tourgeon. Two weeks ago the
police department went to work TO
ascertain who was showing the queer

Parlardes was found to be at least one

Luton decided at last that 1t was.
He telegraphed federal authorities,
and United States Deputy Marshal
Main, United States District Attorney
Briggs of Madison and Special govern
ment Agent Gallehar of Chicago re-
sponded. A raid was made and Mr..
and Mrs. Parlardes and Frank Teur-
gean were arrested. After searching
six hours $500 Of spurious coin, molds,
chemicals, metals, motals, apparatus
for melting, etc., complete, were
found. Special Agent Gallehar says
he never saw better outfit for coun-
terfeiting, and says Tourgeon Is one

Tomorrow the prisoners will be ar
raigned before United States Court
Commissioner Perkins. Later Mr..
Parlardes was released, 1t being be-
lieved that Teurgeon is the chief rogue
and the woman his tool for circulating
the money. The entire plant was
found in his apartments.

says:
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
climatic conditions of the spring and
early summer months, many new en-
terprises were entered upon and old
ones completed. The fisheries have
been successful, the mines have
yielded profitable returns, the popula-
ton has been largely augmented by
immigration, and the people have en-
joyed season of unusual progress
and prosperity. The civil officers
have been vigilant and faithful In the
discharge Of their duties, and In view
of the extent Of the territory over
which they exercise authority and the
absence. of transportation and other
facilities indispensable for the execu-
ton of the law, crime is less frequent
and law and order quite as well en-
forced as in some Of the more dense

munities.
