CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-The hearing of the

ney Gregory. for the defense, moved for
a Jury trial, which was temporarily over
ruled. The taking OF evidence was then
begun.
The attorneys for the Santa Fe Rail-
road. which had brought proceedings
against the defendants similar to those of
the Government, asked leave to amend
the bill. Judge Woods ruled that while
the testimony heard should be considered
as testimony in the Government case, it
should also be applicable in the Santa Fe
proceedings.

a Little Town Swallowed Up-Number.
of Fatalities Unknown.
LoFTKE (Pa.), Sept. 5.-The little min
ing town of Scotch Valley, near this place,
was swallowed up tonight in one of the
most complete mine cave-ins ever known
in this region. The scene of the disaster
is on the slope of Mount Lookout, the
score OF houses comprising the hamlet at
the mouth of the shaft of Mount Look out
colliery. The widest excitement pre-
walls throughout the region and details
are iragmentary. 1t is known, however,
that the dozen houses on each side of the
principal street of the hamlet are COM
pleteiy swallowed up in the gaping hole,
ana nothing can be seen Of the other
buildings in the town but roof gables and
chimneys. 1t is impossi bic to state accu-
rately the number of fatalities or if there
are any. Parties are exerting every
means to release the occupants of the en-
guIIed dwellings. One Of the buried
houses has taken fire.
The cavern was caused by the giving
way OF tlmberS and supports in the
Mount Lookout colliery, which has not
been operated for about two years, and
has been neglected in consequences At
about O'Clock this afternoon the inhab-
ltants of the hamlet were startled by
rumblings. The ground trembled and
swayed like an earthquake beueath them.
The report was followed by tremors and
the village sank out Of sight in the gap
ing cavern.
Meanwhile some fifty miners were i'm
prisoned in the collIery. They had been
at work III another portion OF the mine,
but all exit was completely wiped out by
the cave-in. The rescuing party on the
surface made an attempt to put passage
through the mass of debris which
blocked the main entrance. Failing in
this, some Of the more daring of the party
went through the passage and came to
where the imprisoned miners were all
struggling upward. The men were car
ried TO the surface, where crowd of ex-
cited people awaited them.
Up TO O'clock tonight all the persons
who could be were taken from the ruins,
although full roll of those to be ac-
counted for cannot be prepared until

PUEBLO Coli, Sept. 5.-Pandemonium
broke loose in the Populist State Conven-

order, at 9:l5 o'clock to-day. The major
ity report of the Committee on Creden-
tials favored seating the Waite delegates
from Denver and the Barela delegates
from Los Animas County. Waite and
Barela have reached an understanding,
and Senator Barela, who has already
been nominated Tor State Treasurer by

uliSt nomination.
Thomas M. Patterson, leader of the op-
position TO Waite, endeavored to speak.
The convention refused to hear him until
the majority report of the Credentials
Committee had been adopted, with a
hurrah.
A motion was then carried allowing
Patterson five minutes to address the
convention. Patterson said that nothing
he could say in five minutes would make
any impression upon the delegates, and
he would therefore simply enter the pro-
test OF the minority. Ed. Holden, anti
Waite, attempted TO speak, but was
howled down. Thereupon the Patterson
delegation from Denver left the hall, fol-
lowed by a dozen other delegates.
Governor Waite was renominated on the
1irst ballot, receiving all but eight votes,
which were given Congressman Pence.
The nomination was made unanimous.
committee of ladies was appointed to
escort Waite 10 the hall, and Miss Phoebe
CouSenS introduced him. He was greeted
with tremendous cheering. After he had
thanked the convention, recess was taken.

vailed while the Q. K. and \. was por-
ton of the Union Pacific system.

of the United States Court at Omaha,
which controls the Union Pacific re-
ceivership. The other is that his new
wage schedule is not based on fairness to

1t is expected that the petition will re-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Acting Secre-

reports from Nicaragua in the Bluetlelds

inferred from recent reports that the two

cree of banishment without giving any
further trouble to the authorities. The
department has not been informed as to
whether there was cause or not for the
punishment of these Americans. Before

sent TO Minister Baker instructions
which were intended to cover all con-
tingencies growing out of the Bluefields
affair, and which would protect allAmeri-
