WILDCAT WHALEN.
Paid Dividends From Mines That
Never Existed.

st. Louis, April 3O-William VIVA
len is now on trial in the criminal
court, charged with one of the most
gigantic frauds ever perpetrated in
st. Louis. The case dates back to the
fall Of 1889 and the spring OF 1891.
Then, it is charged, Whalen estab-
lished an office in this city and repre-
sented himself as the president of the
st. Petersburg Consolidated Gold and
Silver Mining company The mines
were in Antelope, Eureka county, Ne
vada, but they were worthless. Wha-
len, it is alleged, offered shares of $50
par value for from $25 to $40 and for
several months declared dividends of
10 per cent. on them, producing let
ters from the alleged superintendent
of the mines, in which the stock was
doomed. Shares were purchased by
many people, but the German popula-
ton held the most stock in the mines.
Early in 1889. Whalen ceased paying
dividends, and from the records of the
police he went east and attempted to
unload the stock on the Wall street
brokers, but failed. Then, 1T is said,
he went to Europe to sell the stock,
and failing in this, returned to st.
Louis, where he was arrested on jan
uary 8, 1898.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
NJ. Juarez Precipitates a Lively De.
bate.

bate.
Paris, April 3O.-There was a lively
debate in the Chamber of Deputies to-
day.
NJ. Juarez, Socialist, questioned the
government in regard to the alleged
subsidies which the clergy and CAPT
talists have given to anarchists.
NJ Juarez declared capitalists had
assisted the anarchist Tournadre who
it was asserted, was hired to incite the
miners of the CarmauX district to
violence. NJ. Juarez asked what the
government intended to do in regard
to the clergy, who, while offering
themselves TO the government as a
bulWark against socialism actually
fostered socialist agitation among the
miners.
NJ Dubost replied that Juarez's state
ments were unfounded and that the
researches of the police had failed to
reveal any connection between the
ana1 chists and clergy.
Comte De Nun repudiated the &C
cusations of Juarez, and declared there
was no analogy between Catholic and
socialist doctrines.
NJ. Hughes, a member of the Right,
said that it was not proved that the
clergy supported the anarchists; but it
was proved that Baron Rothschild had
given money to the anarchists. The
speaker demanded that measures be
taken against capitalists.
The deputies, by a vote of $40 to 179,
decided there should be no further dis
cussion of the subject.

STRIKE MUST BE STOPPED.
Concessions viii Probably Be Made
on Both Sides.

Pittsburg, April 3O.-Colonel W. P.
Rend returns to Chicago tonight with
out succeeding in getting the coal op-
orators to agree to a conference look
ing to settlement of the strike He
says:
The strike must be stopped soon to
avert serious injury. In this crisis it
is imperative that concessions must be
made on both sides. The miner is en-
titled to better pay, but at the same
time the operator has been forced to
reduce wages through sharp competi-
ton and over-production. 1 have sug-
gested a compromise, which will give
the miners an advance of from 10 to
20 per cent. in prices paid at the time
of suspension and full restoration of
rates when times will justify it,
He denies that he is about to sur
render to the miners except on the
compromise basis suggested above.

Quebec, April 30.-Friday night about
$50 o'clock the inhabitants of the
quiet village of st. Adams, situated
forty-eight miles from here, and four
miles from Lachrevetierre, in the
county of Port Nouff, heard a terrible
noise, resembling the roll of thunder
in the distance.
Near the Parish church, is a curve
in the river st. Ann which makes a
waterfall. The ground which stays the
formation on the right side gave way
and the earth and rocks filed a deep
cash of the falls, burying a pulp wood
mill.
The sides of the river, which are
composed of clay, and $50 feet high,
caved in, blocking up the natural
channel of the river for a distance of
five miles, and to the depth of seven
teen feet, making the water rise a
hundred feet above the earth walls
that were supposed to hold it back.
The walls were not strong enough to
keep in check the fury of 5he stream
and, with terrible .oar and rush,
the water came down upon the unpro-
tected village, carrying away the
bridge.
Four Crushed to Death.
At 10 p. M, the water rose at st.
Casinlir and carried away another
bridge at st. Ann. At II o'clock it
carried away two pieces of the bridge
and all the lumber booms
The house of Farmer Gauthier, at
st. Adams, is completely buried and
four unfortunate people who occupied
it are supposed to be crushed below.
At the place where the house was
smothered, smoke can be seen and it
is feared the house caught fire, which
means sure death to the inmates that
are known to have been within.
The accident has been especially
severe on dumb animals. Hundreds
of cattle, horses, sheep and pigs have
persisted and in the wreck that floats
past, the poor brutes can be seen
struggling and making an effort to
reach the shores. which their eXhauSta-
ton renders abortive.
Fatalities Yet Unknown.
River Noire, the exact place of the
accident is not anywhere near a tele-
graph station, and no information as to
the number and names of the dead can
be had with certainty. The people of
all the surrounding districts are panic
stricken, and on account of the altered
condition of the country, it is difficult
! to reach the scene and return. The
piece Of land which slid into the river
lis about a mile long and four miles
wide The latest information received
is to the effect that 100000 worth of
property has been destroyed and twelve
people have been killed.
