EAGER TO WRECK A TRAIN.

Repeated Attempts Made Against the
Grand Trunk at Aipsworth, Ind.
VALPARAISO. Ind, April 9.-Some per.
son or persons at Ainsworth seem to be
determined to wreck a train on the
Chicago and Grand Trunk railway at
that place. The repeated attempts
made pear that town are giving the
railroad men considerable as
they Dc not know when the would be

ties were stuck into cattle guard with
the ends up. The engineer of the east
bound limited saw the obstruction in
time to slow up and save the train,
though the locomotive was thrown
from the track and seriously damaged.
A few nights ago another attempt was
made at the same place, this time the
woodwork of the cattle guard being
burned out, leaving the rails spanning
the gully without support. The west
bound dashed over the gully, the rails
giving away just after the last car had
passed. Only the tremendous speed
of the train saved it from a wreck. A
man, whose name is unknown, was
seen near the cattle guard about the
time of the FIRE and the officers has
started a search for him

ENCOURAGING FOR WHEAT.
LiverpOOls Supply IL just Half What II
Was Last December.

was Last December.
CHICAGO, April 9.-The winter wheat
area is the smallest in fifteen years,
1000, 900 acres less than in 1885 and
more than a mill on less than in 1879.
The price is 1Oc under anything ever
heard of until last years panic. There
is now the further contingency of win
ter killing from a March of record
breaking extremes. There remain,
however, to restrain response by the
market to these influences toward
higher prices, all the old circumstances
which brought around such low prices.
Foreign markets are as weak as ever,
although not as glutted with stocks as
they were. Liverpool's supply is just
half what it was last December. The
Chicago stock has not begun to increase
very fast. There are reasonable
fears about the quality of some of the
grain. The visible supply is still op-
pressive, although decreasing at a
the time of the year, the decrease for
March being 100000 against a de.
crease last March of 100000, and a
decrease March, 1892, of 100000. There
is approaching a May liquidation which
will quite certainly be wided out and
make it more difficult to prevent de-
crease in the May price.

Charge Of Unla wfully borrowing Seattle
Moneys Not Proven.
SEATTLE, April THE trial of Henry
Thurman, the rich broker, for using
city funds as an accessory to Adolph
Kurg, defaulting city treasurer, ended
last niget in verdict for the defen-
dant. The specific charge was concern
ing $4,000, which Thurman was al
lowed by Kurg to take. Kurg was con-
victed on this same indictment few
days ago. Fuhrman's defense was that
he took the money on deposit the same
as the banks did. 1t was shown that
he returned every dollar borrowed, and
has made up the shortages of several
other borrowers by putting up about
three times his proportion of the de-
f..;ting treasufer's official bond. To-
night the Jury was out but little over
an hour and returned a verdict of "not
guilty" Several other prominent citi-
zens were indicted on similar charges,
and this acquittal is supposed to greatly
relieve them.

A Buffalo Mans Scheme for Travelling
1870 Miles an Hour.
BUFFALO, April 9.-Before long, un-
less present plans fall through. work
will begin upon a western New York
railroad of novel and curious design.
On this new road, according to the
plans of the projectors, passengers will
be whirled across the country at the
rate of $50 miles an hour If necessary,
carried high up in the air in long,
slender cars driven along single rail
by electric power. This first of the
elevated railways will run from Oak
Orchard Harbor to Batavia, distance
of forty miles, according to the route
laid out. OF this route, the right of
way for three and one-half miles has
been secured.
The inventor. Captain Lima Beecher,
claims that the advantages of elevated
roads are many. Tbs cost of operation
is cheaper, there are dangerous grade
crossings, snow and dust are equally
out of the way, no grading, ditching
and fencing are necessary, and high
rate of speed eau be maintained in city
and country alike. According to the
Beecher system, he says that the farmer
can piow, SOW, reap. and even pick
fruit under the line. 1t is proposed to
make the elevated structure light and
narrow, so as to occupy very little
ground. The passenger cars are to be
about As feet long and 81 feet wide,
carrying forty passengers apiece. These
long aud narrow cars will encounter
very little atmospheric resistance, says
Captain Beecher, and will cut the air
like bird. The entrance to the cars
is on the side. The coaches are made
on the bycicle principle, and it is stated
that in motion they will balance them.

RENO, New, April lO-The Reno con-
tingent of the Industrial Army boarded
an east bound train this morning, climb
ing on top of the cars. The men refused
20 leave the cars when ordered. A
switch engine was sent down to the
yards and coupled to the freight cars.
Before the commonwealers knew what
was happening the cars we're speeding
back westward The passenger train
then proceeded and the switch engine
subsequently brought the commonweal-
ers back to the city. The leaders claim
they will ignore the injunction of the
Utah courts forbidding the army to
march into that territory. They say
they will call it the "Heaven at Hand
Army" on pilgrimage to Washington,
and will claim the constitutional right
to perform religious duty. A. German
of San Francisco, who was appointed to
succeed Lieutenant White, was arrested
at 1 O'Clock on charge of leading a
riot.

Important Gold Property Sold.

Boise, April An important min
ing deal was consummated here yes
terday. Benjamin Wilson sold to ]. C.
Camp, representing a syndicate in
London, his placer lands in the vicin-
ity of Pioneer, in the Boise basin near
this city. The consideration is $780,
900. The tract sold aggregates about
1000 acres, the pay dirt being from 80
to 40 feet deep on an average. The
sale includes over 100 miles of bitches
and fumes and all the hydraulic ap-
paratus belonging to the property.
These claims have been worked for 30
years, and have produced large
amount of gold. The product is an IN
known quantiny, as no figures have
ever been given out. Formerly the
ground belonged to number of com.
panies, but all other interests were
bought out by Mr.. Wilson many years
ago. He has since worked the property
continuously.

Critical Period for The wheat Crop.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 9.-In two-thirds
of the state the wheat crop Is in need
of rain. Scattering reports come in
from different parts of this state every
day, and they all show that rain is
needed badly in the western half of
Kansas. A gentleman who returned to-
day from northwestern Kansas says the
crop needs rain from Manhattan west
Another Who has been through the
southwest says the ground in the Arkan-
sas is very dry and the plant, though
green, will be badly damaged If rain
does not come within the next ten days.
Just now is the most critical time for
the wheat crop. With rains during the
next week great many fields will be
revived in the west and the plant
started on new growth.

trouble than his followers. There Is
an old law on the statute books, which
was passed in 1880, which makes 1t an
offen.e to bring into the district Of
Columbia any destitute people who are
likely to become public charges, with a
penalty of from s25 to $50 fine for each
offense. The police authorities are
now considering the advisability OF
bringing charge of violating this law
against the leader, in which case the
fines, with the alternative OF work
house imprisonment, would amount to
very heavy punishment. The same

there are two other laws which it is
the avowed and advertised purpose OF
the Coxeyites to break. One is the act
of congress regulating the use of the
capitol grounds, which forbids any
gathering for demonstration or pa
rade, the making of any Grafton or the
use of threatening language, the dis
play of any banner Gu device to attract
attention. The other is local Law
which forbids men to congregate or

buildings.
Major Moore, chief of police, said
today, in speaking of Coxey: "Tness

have no discretion in it; we must en-
force them If Coxey's army arrives, un
less congress should give them permis

matum that it would not carry the men
at less than full fare and the Southern
Pacific then ordered the train brought

why his company has failed to take the
Industrial Army back to California as
ordered by the court yesterday and to

formed that the governor had means of
putting the m on. The governor he'd a
stormy interview with General Super
intendent Knapp of the Southern Pa
cific, in which Knapp said he could not
return the men unless they paid full
fare. Kelly then made stirring speech
to the men, picturing the privations of
long trip and on foot, but the men
were firm. The crowd then gave three
cheers each for Governor Waite, Gen.
eral Kelly, Colonel Baker, and three
times three for Kelly's wife. Two
thousa nd loaves Of bread, 1000 pounds
of beef, potatoes, ETC., were sent from
