an immense volume OF gas, and at the

Flames and smoke burst from the

MET A WILD TRAIN.
Narrow Escape From Il Fearful
Tragedy in the CatsISiII Noun

Phoenicia, N. Y, Aug. 24.-Passenger
train No. 8, on the Stony Cove & Cat
skill railroad, which crawls along a
narrow gauge track to Hunter and all
the way climbs a steep grade, had a
narrow escape with it's load of passen-
gers last night. While going up the
mountain it met a wild train running
down. The engineer of No. z reversed
his engine and all the crew jumped.
Several passengers did likewise and
escaped injury. Next came the crash
and then followed one of the widest
rides passengers ever experienced, and
they were saved from fall down the
mountain side by the bravery of one
man. When the crash occurred the
engine of train No. was badly broken,
steam started backward down the
mountain without driver or fireman.
In moment terrific momentum was
gained and the train of light cars
rocked and rolled around the danger
Gus curves. Everybody had given up
hope when gradually the train slack
ened its speed and suddenly came to
an abrupt stop. Brakeman ArIand b.
Porter was the hero. He alone of all
the crew had not jumped. His station
was on the rear car, and when the wild
run commenced he tried vainly to stop
the train with brakes. Then he heard
the putting of the engine and realized
that something must be wrong there.
and running through the cars he
climbed into the cab and pushed the
throttle, and the steam was cut off
The train was then soon Stopped-

MAY COME TO UTAH.
Bryan Will Stump the West in the
Interest of Silver

| Washington, Aug. 24-ESpecial. L
Western Democrats who are looking
forward to the nomination of a free
silver candidate by their party in 1896
have received a confirma ton of their
belief that the Republicans of the west
would be very glad to creep in under
the Democratic tents on the free silver
issue, If their own party shall follow
| its bent and nominate an anti-free sill
! yer man in the next campaign. This
confirmation comes in the shape of a
proposition that, undeniably, was made
| to the Democrats by several western
senators. who offered to vote for any
tariff bill that might be brought for
ward by the Democratic party, if the
president would announce determine
| ton to give free silver his sanction
There will be no difficulty in 1896
about bringing the Republican silverites
| into line if the silver issue shall be
paramount at that time, as it GER
| tainly bids fair to be. They are very
much Disguised as a general rule over
their offensive and defensive alliance
with the Republicans of New England
| to protect the interests of the latter
| without drawing any benefit them
selves from the bargain and would not
put the cause of Mckinley before that
of the white metal.
Bryan. who is on the eve of making
a strong campaign in Nebraska in or
der to bring that state into line on
the silver question and aid the Demo-
cratic party in gai2ing enough silver
strength to assure a nomination in
1885, and who may find himself in a
position to pay a flying visit to Utah
and make few speeches there after
the adjournment of Congress, was
speaking on this phase of the silver
question today.
Your people in Utah should stand
behind the silver Democrats on this
question. They are going to have a
hard fight to bring about the consum-
nation that is desired. But what
am trying to do in Nebraska is being
done in the whole west, and it is very
important that the people should fully
awaken to the Importance of the pres
ent elections as affecting silver"

tor Aliens Speech.
Grand Island, Neb., Aug. 24.-The
Populist state convention met at IL
O'Clock
| w. L. Green, of Kearney, and United
States Senator Allen made speeches, de-
nouncing the Republican nominee for
| governor and predicting the success of
the Populist ticket if good men were
named. w. l.. Green was chosen as
temporary chairman after a struggle,
and committees were appointed. The
convention then took a recess until 2
O'Clock.
When the recess was. over, the fol-
lowing ticket was nominated with little
delay:
| Governor, Silas A. Holcomb; reuten-
ant governor, James r. Gaffin; secre-
| tary of state, H. w. McFadden; auditor,
John w. Wilson; treasurer, John H
Powers; attorney-general, D. B. Cary;
commissioner public lands and build
ings, w. j. Kent.
Senator Allen addressed the conven-
ton at some length He arraigned the
Republican state ticket as having been
selected at the behest of the corpora
tions. He said it was necessary for the
elements which were in sympathy with
one another to get together and elect
ticket that should represent the people
instead of the corporations. He warned
the convention that the Populists had
success or defeat within their grasp.
1t was their duty to select their candi-
dates with great care. The speech was
concluded amid the most demonstrative
applause.
The platform was adopted without
comment. 1t emphasizes the demand
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1;
brands as treason to labor in every
form and to the best interests of the
whole country the unconditional repeal
by Congress of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act; demands both
state and national laws for the encour-
agement and promotion of the irriga-
ton of arid and semi-arid lands; de-
mands that Congress shall speedily pass
a law by which federal courts will be
prevented from suspending the opera
ton of a state law at the dictation of
corporations; demands compulsory arbi-
tration of all controversies between en-
ployees and employer, and commends
the favorable consideration of the state
to building of what is known as the
Gulf & Interstate railroad now under
process of construction, and finally de-
mands that immediate steps be taken
for the relief of the Nebraska drouth
sufferers.

Cramps recent visit here The Cramps
are building two fast ships. for the
American line of steamers, to sail be-

They are the st. Louis and st. Paul
and they will not be completed until
next summer. 1t was said that the
American line people, growing a little
nervous over the widening gap be-
tween the records of the New York and
Paris and those of the Campania and
Lucania, had called Mr.. Cramp to New
York and materially changed their plans
in relation to the st. Louis and ST.
Paul.
Mr. Cramp was seen at the Holland
house late last night.
Can the Cramps build ship that
will beat the Campania?" he was
asked.
I'VE certainly cam said Mr.. Cramp.
All we need is the order for it and
we will launch one in comparatively
short time that would show the Cam

''Will the ST. Louis and ST. Paul be
able to do it?''

bound ourselves to do in building the
st. Louis and St. Paul is to get from
them a speed of twenty knots an hour

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 24.-The great
match race between the PAGERS Robert

| In the first place., it was one-sided,
Robert ] winning easily in straight
heats. In the second place, the world S
record for three fastest heats in a pace
was broken. the average being 2:06.
The first heat worked the crowd up
to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, and
when 2:05 ives recorded, with neither
horse apparently eXerted to his best,
the question naturally arose: What
Inext?"
The next heat started off at a clip
that threatened to be world breaker,
and when the time was hung out LOO
for first half the crowd could scarce
ly contain itself so sure were they
that the high mark of 2:04, which has
stood so long, would be beaten and in
"a race. But it was not to be. Joe
Patchen was not equal to the task. So
far behind was he that Geers slowed
up down the stretch and finished in a
jog, the time being 2:O61s. Had he
urged the Buffalo gelding out, there is

DEER AS DOGILE AS DOGS.
A Rather Queer Story From the
Hills of Vermont

Rutland, VT, Aug. 24.-Deer are
destroying crops on the farms near
this city. Farmer George H. Wood
ward, of Shrewsbury, six miles dis
taint, has complained to- the Game
league that they have devoured his
vegetables. He demands payment for
the same. He states they devour his
crops during the night and have to be
driven off every morning. Within a
mile of this city deer are frequently
met trotting along the highway. They
are as docile as dogs. Upon the noun
tains they feed with the cows.
Partridges, the farmers complain,
have to be driven out of the gardens,
SO tame have they become Black
bears are also most as numerous as the
deers and quite as venturesome The
fearlessness of the game is due to the
laws for their protection recently
passed, it is claimed by the farmers.
The next legislature will be asked to
modify them.

The story of the Horror.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. pa special to
The Post-Intelligencer from Franklin,
Wash, says:
! At fifteen minutes to l o'clock this
y afternoon, a fire was noticed by some
of the drivers on the sixth north level
and notice was given to the men inside
who were working in different places,
some in the breast above the level and
others along the gangway, as soon as
tt was known that there was fire.
Many of the men in the gangways
rushed back to notify the miners fur
ther in, while others rushed out and
reached the main shaft. 1t is certain
that all the men in the breasts reached
She gangway in safety.
- In all about seventy men were at
work in the sixth level north and of
that number about forty fingered at
breast G, where the fire originated, and
made an attempt to put out the fire
The breast was burning fiercely, and
before the miners knew it, the fire had
communicated to breasts so and 81, and
smoke began to issue from breast 81
in that immediate vicinity. Several of
those who fingered at the burning
breast 81. took warning and fed, but
all who remained were overcome and

time to come out, for those at work in
the further breast reached the shaft-in
safety. while those who were nearest
the shaft and consequently more re-
moved from danger, persisted. They
evidently believed they were in perfect
safety at the fire, but while they lin
gered the smoke oozed out from outside
places further south and the bodies were
all found south Of breast 81 They were
all found along within a space of 600
n feet.
Several men were badly bruised, and
One colored man was taken out with a
broken neck, their wounds indicating
that they had thrown themselves
against posts and timbers of the gang
way in a wild and desperate endeavor
to escape. But the majority of the
bodies bear no marks at all, not even
a scratch, and their features were in
quiet repose, indicating that their
death had been speedy and painless
one. AS soon as the alarm whistle
sounded from the engine house, people
began to crowd around the mouth Of
the slope. and the cry 1.-THE mine is on
fire." quickly spread throughout the
town.
Among the first to reach the scene

he really did not believe any lives
would be lost and the crowd of men,
women and children of both colors, who
lived near the track roundabout, be-

good-natured manner of the superin-

huge joke. laughing and joshing each
other N a short time. however. word
came for help, and then when the SUI

into the mine, there was great excite

Volunteers to the Rescue.
The first men to volunteer was Geo.
w. Smailey, a negro, who, with two
others, was lowered down the ], 100-foot
slope TO the sixth level. There he met
men from the sixth level south who
were doing all they could to rescue the;
linen on the north side of the same
level. Other 7rescuers went down from
the surface, and Smailey G. c. Todd,
