never been referred to Secretary Morton.
The latter expressed his regrets to the

STRUCK BY Il HUGE ROCK.

An accident to the California Express
IN Colorado.
LEADVILLE, CoLo., Aug. 27.-What
came very near being very serious acct
dent occurred this evening on the Colo
RADIO Midland between this place and
Granite. The California express comm g
West was struck by huge rock that had
rolled down the mountain side, COM
pletely telescoping the baggage-car and
one end of the smoker. Luckily only thr ee
persons were caught in the wrecked cars.
f. ]. O'Connor of New York and two
whose names were not learned were dan
gerously, ii not fatally, injured. Had the
massive rock, which weighed at least 100
tons, struck the sleeper, the loss of life
would have been terrible, as every berth
was occupied.

And Fashions

Come and go in the Picture Frame
business as in wearing apparel. AT one
time particular style of molding takes
the popular fancy, only to be succeeded by
something entirely different. We keep
cup to date" examples of all the popular
designs and new finishes. AT present
nearly all oaks in good holdings are quar-
ter sawed and finished either in antique
or dark English color. Some are plain and
some are decorated with small ornamented
beads. Nearly all hardwood frames are
made of oak. Some pictures look well in
such woods as cherry, mahogany, birch,
maple, Hungarian ash, sycamore, chest
nut and curly redwood. We have them
all, and have competent statesmen who
know and will tell you what is best for
your picture if you require any assistance
to decide.
In fancy moldings-gold, cream and
gold, white and silver, russell olive and
apple-green are mostly used. For cabinet
and Paris panel frames, the demand is for
white metal, brass, silver and leather. Our
variety of fine leather frames, both plain
and silver mounted, is not equaled else
where, and the prices are all right on
everything.
We have recently received several new
things in photographs, small ones under
glass panels and large ones for framing.
The new lines of banquet and piano lamps
and onyx tables, received about two weeks
ago, give the best values and have proven
the best sellers that we have ever had in

SWIFT IN LIGHT WINDS,
First Public Performance of
the Valkyrie in American
Waters.
Dunraven'S Boat Dodged the Vigil
liant and Declined an I'M
promptu Race.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 27.-The VAL
kyrie is witch in light winds. She took
her first spin under racing canvas in
American waters this afternoon, and
while the manner in which she was han
died made it impossible to obtain line on
her Abilities enough was shown to arouse
some suspicion as to the safety of the
America cup, particularly if there hap
pens to be light wind and smooth sea
on the international race days.
George ]. Gould was out with the Wig
liant and gave the Valkyrie an elegant
opportunity for an impromptu race, but
the willy Britisher, after apparently ac-
cepting the gage of battle, bore around
and ran up the lower bay instead of fol-
lowing the Vigilant outside of Sandy
Hook.
For an hour after the Vigilant had been
left in the lurch the black-hulled flyer
lodged the newspaper tugs and maneu-
vered in the main ship channel and in the
Horseshoe, but never held straight course
ten minutes at time or poked her nose
outside where the Vigilant was cruising,
stretching sails for Thursdays race and
waiting for brush.
the Valkyrie's performance to-day, it may
be said that she removed all doubt as to
her ability to go wonderfully fast in light
winds. She showed marvellous quickness
In stays and she carries better-fitting can
vas than the American boats.
On the other hand the Valkyrie showed
signs of tenderness, heeling over more
without a topsail than Vigilant did with
one in an eight-knot breeze, and she made
more fuss in the water than either the De-
fender or Vigilant.
Her behavior indicated that Lord Dun
raven has built light weather boat, and
he is specializing on racing in wind of
fifteen knots or less. Her sail spread is
very large, and the tremendous power OBJ
tanned from it drives her hull through the
water at great pace, but in much of
blow or in thrash windward in nasty
sea the indications are that the Valkyrie
would not hold her own with the Defender.

South Africa and Australia. He repre-
sented the London company which first
put the South African gold companies on
the London Stock Exchange and from
which 5000, 900 was cleaned up in less
holdings in the most favored gold sections
of the Dark Continent. He will probably
remain for a few weeks among the miners
of Cripple Creek and will then return to
London to make his report.

BAD FOE THE BRUIsERS.
Opinion of Teras' Attorney General on
the Proposed Fight.

Opinion of Teras' Attorney General on
the Proposed Fight.
AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 27.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Crane this morning handed down his
opinion in the Corbett- Fitzsimmons prize
fight case in reply to the interrogatory of
Sheriff Cabell of Dallas County as to
whether he had any legal right to shoot
down people while attempting to suppress
fight. The Attorney-GeneraPs reply is
to the effect that prize-fighters,, referees,
ETC., constitute an unlawful assem-
blage, and the statutes of the State
make special provisions for the disband-
ment of such unlawful assemblages; that
the Sheriff is empowered to summon a
posse or even the militia to his aid, and in
case the fighters will not cease their unlaw-
full conduct then that the statutes specially
provide that homicide is justifiable when
absolutely necessary to suppress riot or
unlawful gatherings. The Attorney-Gen-
eral concludes his opinion by saying that
while he does not believe it necessary, still
if it is necessary, the statutes provide that
the Sheriff can use firearms in disbanding
any unlawful assemblage.

OBJECTIONS OF GREENHUE

There Is No End to the Whisky Trust Con-
trOUersy.
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 27.-Obiectlons to
the confirmation of the recent sale of the
whisky-trust plants were heard this morn
ing in the Federal court by Judge Seaman.
They were made on behalf of Joseph Green
hut, Nelson Morris, John Olmstead and
Charles T. Lindsay. The chief point ar
gued was that the court had no jurisdic-
ton.
Levy Mayer asked that the objections
should be stricken from the file, on the
ground that Greenhut and other complain
ants were not interested, affected or ag-
grieved by the sale. Attorney EDDY, on
behalf of the complainants, intimated that,
if the objections filed were overruled, his
clients would contest the form of decree
and would, if necessary, carry the case to
the Supreme Court.

DALLAS, GA, Aug 27.-Clabe Miller,
an 1S-year-old white boy. has just been sent

Hagan Roberts, a wealthy farmer who

As he brought down his gun to fire the

Miller had such gun. The weapon was

and it proved an important link in the

NO, MONEY IN BULL-FIGHTING.
Manager Wotfe Lost Mach Money IN the

HCdrniraJ."
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Aug. 81
About all Joe Wolfe, manager of the bull
fights, retains as his share of the proceeds
are his corduroy knickerbockers, bright
colored sash, big sombrero and several
cases before the courts for law-breaking.
Although over 5000 paid admissions were
registered at the Sundays entertainment
the receipts for that day amount to only
$500. 1t has developed that some smart
scamp had a large number of forged
tickets printed which he disposed of at a
handsome profit. The expenses of the
carnival were over $1,000 and the receipts
about $4,000. Citizens contributed $1,000 to
inaugurate the enterprise, but Wolfe loses
about $4,000. After he gets through with
the courts he will probably be satisfied
that bull-fghting is sport which will not
win much money in this country.

The capture is one of the most important

For long time the Western States have
