DROPPED DEAD.

About the hour of 10 o'clock
this a. m, Bob Slater, bridge
workman on the Cotton Belt rail
way, dropped dead in the Office of
the Avenue House, on Vine street,
from the effects of heart disease, su
perinduced by over-indulgence in
alchoholic stimulants.
Dr. c. f, Green was called in, and
made vigorous effort to restore
animation, which at first seemed
merely suspended. The attempt
proved futile, however, as grim
death had only too surely claimed
its victim. DR.. Greene, on further
examination pronounced death due
to causes stated above.
The remains were removed by
Undertaken Reeves to Schicker's
undertaking establishment, on East
Broad Street The deceased, who
is known only to few people here,
had been in the city on few days
lay-off. Nothing could be learned
of the unfortunate man, or his an
tecedents, save the facts stated
above.

COLE DALTON TALKS.

A special from Round Pond, O,
T., yesterday, says that Cole Dal-
ton, brother of the notorious des-
peradoes, Emmett, Grant and Bob
Dalton, now deceased, was in that
town on the previous day, and in
conversation with a newspaper man
stated that many of the newspaper
reports concerning himself and
others we're totally false and mis-
leading He positively asserted
that none of the Dalton gang were
concerned in the attempted train
robbery which took place one mile
south of this city on April 9, in
which one of the gang was killed.
When asked as to whether he knew
the bandit Kid, he said 81 don't
know whether | know him or not.
1t is said his name was either
Rhodes or Pitts and that his place
was adjoining mine, There is no
claim holder in the vicinity of my
place by that name, The newspa-
pers stated that the next morning
after the robbery several men from
Enid went to my place and found
my shanty, together with three
others deserted. This is a lie which
originated in the North End"

port that Bill Dalton and Bill Doc

COXEYITEs TIED UP.

Four hundred of Coxey's army of

moons, at least, are just now very
busy bewailing their fate and ours

Butte, Mont. OF these gallant
chevaiers, of modern industry; a
yesterdays telegraphic special
says;
A detachment of Coxey's army
400 strong, has been trying to get
out of Butte for the last three
days over the Northern Pacific, but
so far they have been thwarted, The
army is made up almost exclusive
ly Of hard characters, though there
are few men among them who
would work if they could get EN-
ployment. They held a meeting on
the front steps of the Court House
in Butte, attended by thousands,
and violently denounced the rail
way men and the Sheriff of the
county, who had helped to guard
the property Of the company. The
Sheriff turned the matter over to
the United States Marshall, the
property being in the care of the
Federal courts Yesterday the
road announced that it would carry
the men out on any terms, owing to
the stringent laws against bring
ing indigents into Minnesota. Mar

THE CATACOMBS DISCUSSED.

An Eastern writer, who is also a
noted traveller, and deeply learned
in archaeological love, discussing the
"catacombs, says, that when these
places are mentioned, in the gener-
al way, they are commonly thought
of simply as tombs, subterranean
burial grounds, the Oldest Of
which are in Egypt, but those with
which we are more familiar are in
Rome, It is true that the cata-
combs were used for the sepulture
But they served also two other pur-
poses, They were places of refuge,
and the multiplication of branches
and cross alleys formed a labyrinth
into which it was rash to venture,
Not few of the old popes fled
there in times of trouble. But the
catacombs we're used also as places
of worship. 1t is most likely that
they were originally sand pits and
quarries from which material had
been taken for building the city.
AS the Romans burned their dead
to ashes, and either scattered these
or preserved them in jars, they did
not need to bury them underground
the bodies Of slaves, however, and
ofexecuted criminals were thrown
into the catacombs to show con-
tempt. This is how they came to
be used for burial, tombs have been
cut in the walls and closed with a
marble slab bearing some inscrip-
ton.
But it is their religious connec-
ton which will prove of most inter
est in this column Even yet cham
bers are found adapted to this pur.
poses many of them capable Of
holding quite an assembly Of wor-
Slippers. Frequently there would
be a sort Of shaft opening from
these crypts to the upper air to let
in light, and wells and springs in
various places served for baptismal
fonts. At Rome the early chris
tians, under the tyranny of the EN-
peror Trajan, met in secret and
made their cathedrals in the cata'
combs. Here they listened to the
gospel truth, and men went forth
filed with inspiration to stop the
bloody games Of Rome in the upper
air. Such, in many cases, was the
primitive church. Tax gatherers
tent makers, ignorant people, un
helped Of letters, of eloquence, o.
the sword-persecuted men anc
women these were the preachers
The result was amazing. They tri
umphed over the whole world
banded in opposition; triumphe(
over an opposition marshaled by
the Caesars, championed by the
schools os philosophy, stayed up OF
the spear points of the imperia
leglons. Idols fell, oracles were
struck dumb, pagan temples were
demolished. The strongest inclin
ations of human nature were di
verted into new and blessed chan
nels, The people flocked in crowds
