4 STOCKING AccrDENr.

Bridgeport, Oct. 3.-Lester B. Russell. fifty-five, of ITO ogden street. fell be- heath a. switch engine in the Berkshire division railroad yards here tonight and sustained injuries from which he may die. One leg was severed from the body and the other was so badly muti- lated that amputation will probably be necessary. Russell did not see the To- comotive which was just moving. The outboard of the engine struck him and threw him to the groud, with one leg across the rail. One driving wheel passed over the legs of the man. but the engineer succeeded in stopping the engine before the second driver reach ed the prostrate man. Russell was at that time lying directly under the boil CT between the two starbOard drivers. He was in such a position that in or der to sXtricate him it became necesss- ry to take away parts of the locomotive and jack up the entire mass. The pro- cess occupied twenty minutes, during which time Russell conversed with the workmen, apparently unconcerned.

WILL TAKE NO ACTION.
Archbishops and Bishops Will Not Appeal
 to Congress-

Washington, Oct. 3.-There will be no arraignment of Secretary Smiths ad- min1stration of the Indian bureau by the Catholic bishopA either in the congress or otherwise. Cardinal Gib- bons himself to-day made this state- ment. He said:
 '"rhe archbishops and bishops will never make a united petition to the congress, no matter how grave the circumstances or how grievous the com plaint. If the Catholic church has reason to believe it's rights are infring- ed upon or its members unfairly treated it will simply ask for justice as citizens of the United States. They will never demand satisfaction as prela~s SUD- ported by millions of voters. Such ac- tion would be contrary to the high pre- rogative of the opponents of the great teacher of charity and humility"
 Further the cardinal said "A polit- ical organization to be formed by the officials and members of our church is contrary to all established rules and precedents. The Catholic church has always held itself aloof from all the political entanglements. It's great mis- sion is to teach and direct in things spiritual With temporal affairs it never interferes. The laymen of the church are free to form such societies as may tend to promote their tenn poral welfare, but to expect the arch bishops and bishops formally to ap- prove or to ratify such plans is to ex- pect what can never come to pass"
 In regard to the Indian missions bureau the cardinal said that the transfer of it's control to the new com missioners. consisting of himself, Arch bishop Corrigan of New York and Arch bishop Ryan of Philadelphia had been made. Monsignor Stephan would re- main the director of the bureau Re plying to a further question about the bureau toward the administration Cardinal Gibbons said: We have no grievance whatever against this gov ernment. It has long been known to us that the appropriations would at the end of a specified time be entirely withdrawn for our Catholic missions. We have been given opportunity to provide for this contingency and we will now take active steps in making all our schools self-supporting.
 Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ryan and Archbishop Kain spent several hours to-day discussing Indian mis- sions and schools. They devoted them selves entirely to determining the rela- tive apportionments of money for In- dian and negro institutions under con- trol of the church.

DIRTY WORK WASINTENDED
MANAGER JULIEN SORRY THE .INTI-
 PRIzE FIGHT LIW PASSED.

He Said, Though, That it Was Expected
 and states His Belief That Corbett Does
 Not Want to Fight-He Knows Where the
 Fight Can Take Place,
 Corpus Christi Tex, Oct 3.-When asked what he thought of the passage of the prize fight law Manager Julien said:
 We are sorry the law passed, but we expected it, We relied on the Dal- las people and Stuart particularly to pull the fight off. We believe Corbett and Brady had something to do with it's passage. Corbett's absence Is an evidence he does not want to fight. We do not propose to be dragged over the country. We had place selected to fight, but Corbett was bent on com ing to Texas, knowing the fight could not take place here. Their desire to select referee for weeks before the fight shows dirty work was intended. We knew and can guarantee a place where the fight can take place. Fitz- simmons will train here and then go to Dallas and claim forfeit money"
 El Paso, Tex, Oct. 3.-The city is excited over the prospects of the Gro -Fitzsimmons being held at Juarez, over the river, in Mexico. A-citizens' committee is trying to raise the guaran- tee, S30,000 in Mexican coin, required by the Juarez authorities. The Texas and Pacific road is supposed to be ready to put up $5,OOO to bring the fight to JuareZ.
 Perry, o. T., Oct. 3.-Dick Plunkett, one of the best known sports in the west, telegraphed Dan Stuart this after noon that Perry would give $25,000 for the bett-Fitzsimmons fight. The law against prize fighting in Oklahoma makes it msdemeanor, punishable by fine not to exceed $500 or one year in the county jail.
