FRANCH Is DEFIANT.
The Anarchist Renouuces the Faith That
lie Embraced Sometime Ago and Be.

DS lnt l lllcu IlGsSs
Barcelona, Nov. 20.
The governor of the prison went this
afternoon to the call of Salvador
Franch, the chief conspirator in the
Lyceum theater outrage, and read to
him his death warrant. Some time ago
Franch declared his penitence and was
admitted to a monastic order. Later
he became as blasphemons as ever
Nevertheless, two priests had accom-
panied the governor to offer the anar-
chist consolation. One Of them ap-
preached him Immediately after the
reading of the death warrant.
"Hurrah for anarchy" shouted
Franch, stepping back.
But you declared your repentance
and conversion to the true religion"
exclaimed the priest.
THAT was all nonsense" replied
Franch. Now get away from me, and
don't show me your ugly features
again."
Franch was taken to cell near the
place of execution and was chained to
the wall. He fought so .savagely that it
required three guards to handle him.
After soldiers had been on guard with
fixed bayonets, they appealed to him
again to confess. II don't need you;
get away" was the only response.
Franch became calmer and talked to
the guards concerning an execution of
an anarchist he had witnessed. He also
asked the warden to explain the me-
chanism of the garrote. He said that
he would face death bravely adding
that he did not care what was done
with his body. He will be executed to-
morrow morning.
The crime for which Franch will
suffer death was committed on the
night of Nov Z, 1893, in the magnificent
Lyceum theater in Barcelona. On that
night 1000 persons had assembled TO
hear the opera william Tell" At the
height of the performance two bombs
We're thrown to the ground floor from
one of the upper galleries. One of the
bombs exploded. The effect of the eX-
plosion was awful. Fifteen persons
were killed instantly and fifteen others
so badly injured that they died in the
course of the night and following day.
Besides these about eighty persons
were hurt, some very severely. Sal
vador Franch, alias Santiango Saliva
dor, was traced to the city of Sarag-
ossa and was arrested there on Jan. l.

Steubenvllle, O., Nov. 20.
By an explosion of coal dust this
afternoon in the Blanche coal mines,
near Golfers, West Virginia, seven
miles east of Steubenville, seven men
We're killed and four badly injured.
The killed We're: Michael Roney,
Thomas Jordan, Thomas Tucker, David
Rowlands, John Donnelly, Antonio
Satti, Mazzle Gessido.
The injured were: Jose Rife, Raphael
Neckie, Jasper Lawrence, Thomas Nor
ris.
The disaster occurred in No. 9 entry
1000 yards from the mouth, and was
caused by new Italian hand firing an
over-charge blast, which ignited the
dust. There We're forty-eight men in
the mine at the time. After the explo-
sion terrific whirl of wind followed.
Donnelly and Roney We're going tow
ard the entrance. The force of the ex-
plosion blew them nearly 100 yards out
of the mouth of the mine and landed
Roney on the track, killing him, while
Donnelly landed in a gully, striking
his head against a post, spilling his
brains all over it. His wife was the
first to find him, and she swooned away
and may die Of the shock.
Hundreds crowded about the mouth
of the mine, where some tragic and sor-
roWful scenes were enacted. A rescu-
ing party volunteered and went in after
the bodies and brought them out. The
sight of the dead men caused several
women to swoon away. Prosecuting
Attorney Cotton and Coroner Wilkins
now Of Wellsburg, arrived shortly after
the accident and took charge of the
bodies. They will conduct a rigid in
vestigation, as this is the second acci-
dent of this kind that has occurred al
this mine, the other on Nov. q, 1892
when three men were killed and seven
burned and injured. The state mine
inspector will be there tomorrow and
his report will show where the blame
is to be attached.
William Davis was in the mine entry
$50 feet from the entrance When he
heard the explosion he laid down neal
the rib of the mine and the whirlwinC
carrying rocks, fire, air and death
passed over him. An empty car stand
ing at the entrance was blown 25O yards
The miners blame the accident on tht
inexperienced Italian miners and de-
clare they will not work with them any
more.

BOND SUBSCRIPTIONS.
European Capitalists Are Anxious to In.
vest i'll American Securities, but the
Gold in This Country Is Slow.

BY the United Press.
New York, Nov. 2O.-J. Pierpont Nor
gan has been in consultation TODAY
with number Of bankers with a view
to ascertaining how much gold Drexel,
Morgan & Co. can obtain from the
banks before putting in the firms bid
for the new issue of bonds. If the gold
can be obtained the firm will take a
large block of the bonds. Speaking of
the position of the private bankers on
the question of the new bond issue,
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. said today:
"As soon as the government invited
subscriptions for bonds various Euro
pean subscription orders were received
with instructions TO draw exchange
against these subscriptions. Exchange
is payable under the existing custom in
current funds and not in gold. To OBJ
tain gold, if the banks should refuse to
give up gold to the dealers no other way
is left to draw it out of the treasury. 1t
will not do for foreign bankers to cable
their European correspondents that no
gold Is readily obtainable, for the eX-
tlldHSe uldNH W pay lOE .DOIlu SuD-
scripuOns. Such a course would result
in the greatest injury and distrust
abroad. No individual banker should
therefore be blamed if he draws gold
from the treasury if he cannot secure
the necessary gold to pay for bond SUBJ
scriptions from the banks. The re-
sponsibility should attach solely to the
banks who have been using the ma
chineryof eirnational charters for the
purpose of boarding gold, and since the
banks have no gold obligations out
standing, now that the government re-
quires the gold, they should either sub
scribe for the bonds themselves or furn-
ish gold freely to their dealers who
desire to subscribe"
1t is understood that the presidents OF
the local banks will confer tomorrow on
the question of subscriptions to the new
loan.

TRAGEDY AT A CROSSING.
Three People Are Killed in u Collision Be.
tween Light Carriage and philadel.
phia Reading Engine.

BY the United Press.
Philadelphia, Nov. 2O.-A south bound
accommodation train on the Chestnut
Hill branch of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad ran into a two horse
carriage containing John Horace Meac-
ham, aged 20 years, his wife and Mrs
Harriet Smyth, at 1895 o'clock this
morning at the East Washington lane
crossing in Germantown.
Mr.. Meacham was killed, as was also
Patrick Lacy, aged 81 years, the watch
man at the crossing, who had seized
the horses heads and endeavored to
back them off the track. Mrs. Meacham
received fractured skull and died
shortly afterward. Mrs. Smyth was
slightly injured. Both horses were kill
ed outright and the vehicle was smash
ed to pieces.
The train left Chestnut Hill at 1926
o'clock and was to have stopped at Wal
nut Lane station, but short distance
from where the accident occurred. 1t
is supposed that Mr.. Meacham, who was
driving the team did not hear the ap-
preaching train and was not aware Of
the danger until he had driven upon the
track
Engineer Morris Lacy, states that he
did not see the team until within two
car lengths of the crossing. He then
saw the horses on the track with the
watchman, Patrick Lacy, at their
heads and endeavoring to back them
The engineer blew the whistle and re-
versed the lever, but the collision could
not be averted and the watchman and
the team were struck and hurled some
distance away.
M. Meacham was retired business
man and lived in the vicinity. The
watchman had been in the employ OF
the company for about twenty years
and he was killed within few feet OF
| his home.
