HOW THEY WE'RE KILLED.
MIR. John p. Long Tells What He Saw

Mr.. John p. Long Tells What He Saw
of the Rivcrdale Tragedy.
"I heard the up-train whistle for River
dale" said Mr.. John D. LcEg. who lives
near the scene Of the casualty, in speak
ing to a Star reporter today about the
tragedy that occurred Saturday night, land
the whistle Of the express going into Wash
irgton. 1 went to the window to see what
all the noise was for. When I went to the
track it seemsd clear to me that the boys
did not know the express was coming.
They saw that, no doubt. and went across
and sat down on the track ever which the
express came The strong lights from the
two engines meeting gave them no sus-
picicn of their danger, and the noise was
so great they could not hear the express.
They were bright boys. and they would
never ha re been caught there if they had
known the express was coming. With both
trains late, they happened to meet there.
The engineer of the express must have
been looking to the left across the up
track to see the block target. His own
track was seemingly clear, for the boys
were not within the rails. 1t seemed to me
they were killed by the step on the en-
gine as they sat on the ends of the ties,
probably arranging the price Of the pig
cons. The engineer of the express went
on into the city, mot, knowing his train had
struck anything"

MAXWELL ALLOWED TO RESIGN.

Sequel to the Scandal In Which

George Maxwell, who was arrested some
weeks ago in the dead Of the night, togeth-
er with a young woman named lyman. IN
the house Of Mr. Main en- G street, has
been permitted to resign his position In the
patent office. The scandal connected with
the affair having blown over, seemingly,
Maxwell returned last week from his thirty
days leave and reported for duty to the
chief Of his division. At the time OF his
arrest 1t was expected that Mr.. Seymour,
the commissioner of patents. would dismiss
Maxwell promptly; but as the matter was
under investigation the commissioner de-
clined to take action until the proper tinie
should come. Maxwell went away on MS
leave, and, it is supposed, misinterpreted
the general opinion of his performance
thinking because the conduct OF the de-
tectives in breaking into private room IN
the night after peeping through keyhoiss
and over transoms, had been condemned,
that what he had himself done was rather
passed over as an excusable prank. Inat
he thought SO appeared in his statements
to his superior officials on his return 10 the
patent office.
He said all the clerks sympathized with
him. and there was no objection to his re-
naming in the office So fully did this view
of his situation seem to possess him that he
entered upon the examination for promo
of the commissioner, who had once before
promoted him prior to the affair at the
Main house. 1t is said at the Interior De-
partment that it was this bold treatment
of his prospects that brought upon him the
opportunity to resign.
Last week Maxwell, with his pastor. Rev.
Hugh Johnston of the Metropolitan Church,
had an interview with the commissioner.
in which, it is stated, Maxwell admitted
the truth of the scandal. 1t Is supposed
Mr.. Johnston was present to intercede for

he must necessarily be placed in routine

the matter was sufficiently apparent to
Maxwell and Mr.. Johnston, the former
filed a written request that he be permitted
to resign which Mr.. Johnston Endorsed.

MILLIKEN'S ARREST.
Mr.. Birney Has No Oficinl News of the
Affair.


Speaking this afternoon OF the reported
arrest Saturday of Benjamin H. Milliken.
recently indicted here for housebreaking
and entering the residence of Judge Samuel
F. Phillips, with fntent to assault the lat
ter's daughter on hight of the 4th instant,
District Attorney B.rney stated to Star
reporter that officially he was unaware Of
the young mans: arrest. But he said he'had
story of the marl's arrest at La Grange.
Tenn. small town about fifty miles east
of Memphis last Saturday Nor did he
doubt the youngs htan giving bail In the
sum Of 5000 at Memphis Saturday evening
to appear for trial, here But, so far. said
Mr.. Birney, the only Information he had in
from the newsp8pefs.' He expected how
ever. to hear of 9Aflfliken's arrest officially
at almost any moment.
According to dispatches from Memphis
Milliken was arrested at La Grange Sat
urday morning by DEPUTY United States
Marshal Elliott He WIS at once taken to
Memphis and that evefiipg gave bail there
indictment. his bondsrien being Josiah Pat
terson. Luke E. Wright and 7. b: Turley,
well-known Tennessee lawyers.
The young man, District Attorney Birney
learned soon after he left the city, went
from here to Tennessee, and" Mfr! Birney
soon located him at La Grange, where
some Of Mnliken's relatives reside. Mr..
Bfrney at once sent on bench warrant,
but the state being divided into two judi
cial districts the warrant for the young
mans arrest was Inadvertently sent to the
marshal of the wrong district. That Of
ficer, instead Of forwarding it to the mar
shall of the district wherein Milliken had
been located, returned 1t to Mr.. Birney.
Before it reached here Mr.. Birney had
sent one to the marshal of the other dis
trict. by whom the arrest was made.
-
for United States commissioner to accept
bail, and he supposed the justice of the
peace who accepted bail Saturday also held
the former office. A trial could not well be
had, said Mr.. Birney. before next October,
and if Milliken gave bail to then appear,
as reported. he would be satisfied. Milli-
ken is reported to have remarked to the
deputy marshal who arrested him that the

NEGROES.
ST. LOUIS, July pa special to the Re-

says: One hundred and seventy negro col

box car. Quarantine Officer Evans has

as several hundred more are expected to
arrive of the 100 who passed through Tor
rean last February to make their fortunes
through the aid of a colonization company.
Nearly iGO of them. starved, half naked
and diseased, have been canlped for the
past few days near Terrean. Such mis-
erable hungry, bare-footed lot will be hard
TO equal. They tell a pitiahle tale of de-
ception. ~,
They were assured that the place was on
railroad, good house to live in, five
acres of land to cultivate their own vege-
tables, &c, plenty of game. and all were
given blank contract which was to guar
antee them half of the crop of sixty acres,
which each was to take care of-ffty in
cotton and ten in corn. After their arrival
they vainly eT,dsavored' to get the contracts
signed, but it seems the contracts were
never signed or fulfilled. The houses were
miserable adobes. The water was Vile and
killed a good many with a species of ma
laria and swelling of the limbs. The death
rate averaged five a week, and they claim
nearly 100 died there, principally owing to

Finally the negroes were told that they

and that the company would pay them 80
cents day. This was done fer about two
weeks, whan it was cut to 81 cents day.
If they were sick they received nothing, and
if what they say is true, many a one died

about this time, it is alleged. told them
the company had broken it's contract and
he could do nothing, and advised them to

This, after planting and raising one of
the finest, if not the best, cotton crops ever
grown in the state of Durango. Then they
left. Many of them, in order to do so, had
to sell their personal effects, bedding, furni-

1t is estimated that there are about 100
more at Tahuanilo and twenty-five at Me-
pimi station awaiting transfer.
