BROKE THROUGH A BRIDGE.
Coal Train Wrecked and at Least
Five Miners Killed.

PITTSBURG, Nov 19-Sixteen cars OF
coal broke through the bridge over Brush
creek at Larimer station to-nighp 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 Pennsyl-
vania railroad to the main line. When
within six car lengths OF the bridge a car
broke down, and when 1t reached the bridge
it tore it's way through, letting the fifteen
cars of the train down into the creek in
confused mass. All OF the trainmen es-
capped, but the miners, who were on the
cars going to their homes, were carried
down, and are now buried under the de-
bris.
Brakeman Carroll, who was on the rear
of the train, and saw the men when they
left the mines for home, said tonight that
there were between five and eight miners
on the cars 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 is missing to-
night. Up to 10 o'clock. after a diligent
search, only three names Of the missing
men can be learned. these being: Frank
Rice, German, who is said to have been
working In mines only two weeks, and who
was a comparative stranger In this re-
gion; 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, but owing to the fact that
all the men work under numbers. instead
of names, at the mines, their names cannot
be learned. Some of the miners say that
this is all who have been killed. while
others declare that there are more missing.

TRIBUTE TO DIR. M'COSH.
Sentiment OF Princetonians Regard
ing the Late Educator.

PRINCETON, N. j.. Nov. 19.-An edi-
torial in the Princetonian tonight voices
the sentiment of the Undergraduate body
in regard to Dr. McCosh's death. 1t says:
"By the death of DR.. McCosh there is re-
moved from Princeton another OF those
mighty men whose names are illustrious in
the educational world, and there is added
another stone to that group which trans
forms Princeton's cemetery into the West
minister Of America. Through all the PEI
riod of expansion of Princeton, when the
college was outgrowing narrowing tradi-
tions and getting into step with the pro-
gressive spirit Of the age, DR.. McCosh is
seen as the inspiration Of the movement,
a movement which did not stop until he
left us a university. Materially, In the es-
tablishment of the scholarships and In the
erection of buildings; intellectually, in the
widening of the curriculum and, spiritual
w. in the fostering of ardent religious
spirit, Princeton owes her prosperity to the
indefatigable efforts of her ex-presdent. A
teacher whose methods inaugurated re-
form in educational systems; an executive,
whose ability to control and supervise was
never questioned; philosopher, whose
whose writings reveal an intellect which
places him among the leaders of modern
thought, James McCosh will be renlem-
bered best by those who were fortunate
enough to be connected with him as a man
who saw in every other man brother

THE ARIZONA MOQUIS
SINGULAR PEOPLE WHO LIVE In A
LITTLE WORLD OF THEIR OWN.
trfous, They Are Opposed to the
White Mans Ideas of Civilization.

DENVER, Col, Nov 19-Captain Con-
stant Williams of the Seventh Infantry,
has forwarded to the headquarters of the
Department of Colorado the particulars of
the trouble with the Moqui Indians. The
Moqui Indians are few in number and dwell
in the mountains of Arizona about $50 miles
from Fort Wingate, the nearest military
post. They peaceful and industrious

OF their own little villages. 1t is even said
they believe that they are the only people
in the world. with the exception of the four
companies of United States cavalry that
appeared on the occasion of their last out
break. Governor So,omai obtained some
progressive ideas from visit to Washing
ton with the other Moquis about ten years
ago. On his return he described the i'm
mense numbers of people the railroads and
gigantic buildings he had seen. The In
dians. thinking he was crazy, placed him in
confinement for some time. Soiomai has

Captain Williams. to ascertain the cause
OF the disturbance, visited the villages Ind
found that 1t arose from second attempt
of Solomai to adopt the customs OF the pale
faces A meeting of the two factions
held in the square of the village and the
chiefs of the contending factions stated
their case. Governor Solonai said he
wanted his children to go to school, and
be brought up as the white children are.
When he and the others had done this the
hostiles raised objections, seized some of
their cornfeds and threatened to seize
others They had even gone 50 far as to
threaten to expel them from the town. So
Solomai has asked for the cavalry to be
sent. The hostiles numbered aboIt two
thirds of the tribe, and they were led by
one Lomahungyoma- They were opposed
low in the steps of their forefathers. After
Solomai had finished his speech their chief
arose to reply. He substantially admitted
the truth of SolomafS statements, saying
that ne and his followers did not want to
be civilized or have their children go to
school. or to wear white mems clothing. or
to eat white mems food. They had seized
the fields at Moencopee because they had
belonged to them in former years and had
been unlawfully taken away In the spring
he intended to take away more of the fields

the difficulty could be settled in no other
way than by the coming OF the United

said he had deemed it necessary to ask for

TRAMPING FOR $4,000.


PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 19.-Footsore and
weary, there arrived at the Central Hotel,
shortly after noon. Gus Koegei and Fred
Thoemer, two young men who set out June
10, from San Francisco, to walk around the
world. The trip is being made to win a
wager, several San Francisco sporting men
putting up $4,000 against 5000, wagered by
the pedestrians. The trip is to be made
within two years, and the pair believe they
can do 1t in twenty-five months. They have
the signatures of the Governors and the
prominent officials of the States through
which they have passed. They will con-
tinue their journey in the morning. Koegel
walked last year across the continent In
107 days. He is a tailor, while his COM
panion is picture-frame guilder. The pair
have worn out three suits and five pairs
of shoes each. Among their experiences
was a thrilling mistake made by railroad
strikers In Nevada, who chased them, think
ing they were soldiers. They escaped their
shots by hiding in the sage brush.

MILLIONS ARE AT STAKE
LIFE OF THE BELL TELEPHONE MO-
NOPOLY PATENTS INVOLVED.
Argument Closed by Janses @. Carter,
Of New York, Who Made Strong
Plea for the Plaintiff.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The argument
in the United States Supreme Court in the
case of the Bate Refrigerating Company VS..
Ferdinand Sulzberger & Co.. which has
aroused so much interest because of the
far-reaching effect that the decision may
have on the lives OF American patents, in
Guiding Bell Telephone patents, wherever
foreign patents have first been issued, was
closed to-day by James G. Carter, of New
York, who appeared for the Bate company.
Mr.. Carter, in his argument to-day, COM
pared the acts of 1886, of 1889 and of 1870
with Section 1857 of the Revised Statutes,
and dwelt at length on the intention of
Congress in the enactment of these stat
utes He contended for liberal rather
than a literal Interpretation OF the law in
the case, and argued that system which,
between individuals, would offer a reward
for a service and then abrldge 1t for such
reasons as those contended for In the pres
ent case would be dishonest. He contended
that it was preposterous for the govern
ment to impose the penalty of the loss of
three most useful years OF an American
patent because a foreign government had
been more expeditions in granting q pat
: ent, when the fault for this delay rested
with the American government itself. To
protect his patent abroad the inventor
applies for a foreign patent, and In doing so
cannot well imagine that If the foreign pat
ent should be issued in advance of his
American patent his rights in his own coun-
try will be abridged or that any damage
would arise to his interests. Previous to
1876. when Mr.. Bate applied for his patent,
Mr.. Carter claimed that no hostility had
ever been shown by our patent system
to the obtaining of patents abroad. On the
contrary, that practice. while never dis
favored had been distinctly encouraged
since 1886 by our law, both because II fur
nished an additional stimulus to invention
and prevented that disadvantage to Amer
lean users which comes from their being
under the burden OF royalty. when the
foreign users are exempted from it. A
whole generation, he said, had become used
TO the fact that after a man had made a
petition for an American patent his rights
were safe except through acts of his own.

Alleged scheme TO Rule or Ruin the
Republican Party.

MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. 1s.-The Gary. s.
D.. correspondent OF the Journal wires as
follows: 1t would scarcely be expected that
information revealing a great national con-
spiracy to rule or ruin the Republican party
should be found In this unlmportant VII
lage. Nevertheless, my Information In so
direct and the source so authentic that ].
have no doubt OF the truth OF what have
heard My informant is a gentleman OF
veracity. who is acting as amanuensis TO
one OF the leaders in the movement, and
have long known him 10 be reliable. In
short, the story he tells is this: For sew
eral months an understanding has existed
among the leading silver men OF the United
States that al emphatic demand shall be
made that the Republican platform OF 1893
shall contain an urequivocal declaration in
favor OF unqualified free coinage OF silver
and that In the event OF failure OF the
Republicans to so declare. party
shall forwith be sprung with a two-plank
and free coinage. The management OF the
movement Is largely in the hands OF Sena-
tors Jones. Stewart and Pettigrew. and
they are looking TO Senator Cameron as a
Presidential candidate in the event OF the
birth OF the new party The results of the
recent elections have given the leaders
renewed confidence. as they now believe they
will be able 10 absorb the remnants OF
the Populists and secure through the pro-
lection plank the adneSiOn OF the labor
vote OF the East Thus they hope 10 CEN
traiize the entire free silver strength and
much OF the labor vote OF the country.
My informant Is positive In the deciara-
ton that the Republican party will be
forced TO either adopt the silver plank or
be destroyed. This intention 10 rule or ruin
Is a fundamental tenet of the movement
and IL is even said that Senator Cameron
has slready consented TO head the revolt.
