night in charge of deputy marshals having
been captured half a mile west of Arlee.
Mont, small town 125 miles east OF Heron.
The mob originally consisted of seventy-five
men, led by Bill Blair, but the number rap
idly increased until, as they came east,
there were several hundred of them. The
Northern Pacific officials Immediately noti-
fed the authorities of the stolen train, and
a force of fifty well-armed deputies started
west from Helena to meet the Coxeyites.

Blair, were not to be seen. AS soon as
they saw the officers and real

speedily slipped away into the woods The
leaders were made prisoners Deputies on
horseback quickly started on the track of
the escaping leaders and tonight they were

SEVEN MEN KILLED

Bridge Train and Extra Freight
Come TOgether--Heads of All the
Victims Crushed.

PRINCETON, KY, May ia collision
in the Standing Rock tunnel, on the New
port News & Mississippi Valley railroad,
twelve miles east of this place. to-day,
killed the following seven men outright:
NICHOLAS HILL, conductor.
j. CRISP, Covington, KY, head crushed
BOSS BUTLER. West Point. KY. chest
and head crushed.
crushed: inter internally ali; injured jaws
j. CONDREY, Mayfield, KY, remains not
yet taken from the wreck.
JOHN b. DUNCAN, Dulaney, KY, abdo-
men torn open; head crushed.
GEORGE WHITEHEAD. Paducah, KY,
skull crushed.
There were no injuries not fatal, except a
few minor scratches. The wreck was be-
tween extra freight No. COZ. west bound,
and the bridge train under Conductor Hill.
Hill was out with his train and expected
to take the siding just east Of the tunnel.
He sent fiagman ahead and was backing
up with boarding car in front. He had
followed the fiagman too closely, and just
as he entered the tunnel engineer Jones'
with the extra freight, reached the other
end, his train going thirty miles an hour.
He and his fireman saw the danger in
time to jump. The engine crashed into the
boarding car in which were the doomed men.
The car was SmaSneQ INTO Spl1nterS ana the
engine plowed almost through it,, choking
UP the tunnel with the debris. Eleven fiat
and box cars were piled together in the
rear making access to the wreck almost
impossible. Only one mans voice could be
heard-that of John Condrey-calling in the
most pitiful manner for help. None could
reach him, and short time afterwards
his cries could not be heard. A wrecking
train was put to work at both ends and
tonight the bodies were reached with the
exception of that of Condrey- They were
brought here and prepared for shipment to
their homes.
singular circumstance noted is that all
of the victims had their heads crushed, and,
with two exceptions, were almost uninjured
in any other way. The survivors say that
the flagman sent out by conductor Hill had
ample time to get to a designated point,
and in fact should have been there half
an hour ahead of the extra freight, of the
coming of which none of them knew. The
fagman denies this, and says Hill Followed
him before he had time TO get out of the
tunnel, and he was in ii when the freight
came in. All the passengers, mail and
express trains have had to transfer over
the hill at the tunnel, which is about five
hundred yards long. Freight traffic was
suspended until midnight.

Scenes at ChiagO.

CHICAGO. May 19-Thousands of specta-
tors watched from the lake shore to-day

beached during the storm of yesterday

One was thought to be the ID. N Austin.

by crew of six. Four men could be seen
in the rigging. The vessel was apparently
in little danger of destruction. About two
hundred yards further another schooner,

Her condition appeared worse, and the in
dications were that she was waterlogged.
The twenty-seven men on the north crib,
who were unable to reach land last night,
hauled down their distress signal to-day
men at the other crib telephoned that they
were safe.
The locating of the life-saving crew at
Jackson Park was severely criticised by
vesselmen to-day, and ii was asserted that
had the crew been at the mouth of the
river the loss of life yesterday would have
been avoided. The crew was sent to jack

Storm Dulletin.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Weather
Bureau has issued lake storm bulletin No.
/, of 1894. concerning the storm of May
17-1S. 1t says: 1.-The storm first ass lmed
form in the Northwest the morning OF
the 18th, when it was central over south
eastern Montana. Its average velocity
was fifteen miles per hour. The storm was
attended by exceptionally heavy rains in
the Northwestern States, destructive gales
over the lake regions and a remarkable
fall in temperature over the upper lakes
and Western and Northwestern States. By
the 18th the storm center advanced to
South Dakota, with marked increase of
energy. By the 18th the center reached
southern Lake Michigan. At the evening
report of the 18th the wind was blowing
thirty to forty miles hour from the
north over Lake Michigan. The morn ng
of the 10Th the storm center reached Vir-
ginia. The indications are that the storm
will pass eastward off the middle Atlantic
coast by Sunday morning it's passage over

MISSOULA, Mont, May ia band of
450 Coxeyites of the Seattle-Spokane de-
tachnent captured freight train on the
Northern Pacific road at Heron, a few
miles from the Idaho line, to-day, and
started eastward. A force of fifty depu-
ties heavily armed, and headed by Sheriff
Ramsey, left here on a special train to
intercept the industrials, recover the train
and arrest the men. 1t viii be a difficult
undertaking. as the Coxeyites are deter
mined and in a bad mood over alleged
rough treatment at the hands Of deputy
marshals scattered along the line between
this city and Spokane.
A report comes from the Coeur d'Alene
country to the effect that the common
wealers attempted to capture a train near
Wallace, Ida, last night but the engineer
cut the engine loose and escaped, leaving
the train where it could only be operated
in the wrong direction. The situation at
that point is most critical Commonweal-
ers are gathering in large numbers, and
are being assisted by hundreds of unem-
ployed miners. 1t is feared that serious
trouble will follow.
A dispatch from Washington says: The
War Department has received information
from Coeur dAlene Ida. that rendez-
vous of ''industrials'' there threatens
trouble. Seizure of train seemed immi-
nent and General Schofield has ordered
General Otis, commanding the District of
Columbia, to see that the United States
marshal has adequate assistance from
troops to insure the protection of the rail-
road property, which is in the hands OF a
receiver. Troops are stationed at point
near Occur d'Alene.

Ashore Along the Lakes.

PORT HURON, Mich, May 19.-The tug
c. d. Thompson left here at o'clock with
a reScuing party and yawl and attempted
to reach the schooner Shupe, which went
ashore yesterday. They found the Shupe
on a sand reef six miles north of here, and
about quarter of a mile from shore. The
yawl left the tug and finally reached the
wreck. The painter from the yawl was
taken by the crew aboard the Shupe, when
the yawl capsized, throwing the whole
party into the water All were drowned
except Daniel Linn, who swan ashore and
was taken out of the water nearly ex-
hausted- The drowned are: William
Lewis, single; Capt. Henry Little, married !;
Captain Barney Mills, married, and August
King, married
The tug Thompson left here again at 2
o'clock with the Sand Beach life saving
crew in tow. She dropped the boat about
a mile above the Shupe. The life savers
finally reached the wrecked schooner and
took off all the crew and landed them on
shore about o'clock. They were all alive
but in a greatly exhausted condition, hav-
ing been drifting at the mercy of the waves
for forty-eight hours. The bodies of the
brave men who attempted the rescue this
morning have not yet been found In an
interview, Daniel Lynn, the only one who

said the boat became caught in or under
timber which projected from the side of
the schooner, and when the wave came it
forced the boat over almost instantly. All
or the men TO swim ashore,
but they disappeared, one by
one, while a large crowd on shore
who were watching them were unable to
render any assistance. Great praise is due
TO Captain Cox, of the Thompson, and to
the life saving crew. The Thompson has
made four trips out into the lake in the
attempt to rescue the crew of the Shupe.
The waves were running mountain high,
driven by gale of forty miles an hour, and
no large steamer dared venture out. The
Thompson, which is a powerful tug, could
make only five miles an hour in the gale.
In view of the various disasters which have
occurred in this end of the lake during re-
cent years a movement will probably be
made to get life saving station established

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, May 1e.-Randall's
army remained in it's comfortable quarters
at Centlivre's Park all day. heavy
snowstorm prevailed last night and up to 10
o'clock to-day. and had the men been one
day later there would have been great suf-

Temple Theater last night and raised SIS.
1t is expected that many visitors will visit
the camp tomorrow. Men will be expected
to contribute 10 cents and women are eX
pected TO bring some sort of food. Each
child is asked to bring one potato. The
army had good supper last night and two
good meals to-day, and will have enough
TO feed them until Monday morning, when
their welcome will begin to wear out. They
have too good a thing here to be in
hurry to get away. At night the Centlivre
gates are locked, and not soldier can get

Lie Savers CritIci.ed.

MILWAUKEE, May 19.-The wind IS still
blowing strongly from the northwest to-
day. but no new disasters are reported. No
attempt was made this morning TO recover
the bodies of the woman cook and Jim"
the seaman, which were lashed to the
rigging of the sunken schooner Cummings.
The lfe-saving crew is condemned on all
sides for inefficiency yesterday. The belief
is universal that every one OF the Cum
mingss crew could have been saved If
prompt efforts had been made. After the
disabling OF the lifeboat in the, breakers
at Bayview, when the first attempt was
made to reach the wreck no effort was
made to go out again until near dark. The
captain and crew did not deem their surf
boat or the one brought up from Racine
safe enough TO make the venture. Finally.
after several volunteer crews had slgnifled
their willingness 10 make the attempt the
life savers started and rescued the two

she rode out the gale safely. The tug
Owens, which went on the beach above
Middle island, is reported broken up and
scattered. The schooner American UnioIi,
on the reef at Thompson's harbor. is prob
ably a total loss. Huge seas swept over
her all day yesterday. Wreckers had been
working on her thirteen days. 1t Is still
blowing a gale from the north. 1t is bit
terly cold and there nsree inches or
snow, making good sleighing. 1t is feared
that the crops are badly injured.
