the lives of three men are in peril. 1t

The fire was first noticed at $50 last
night. In a few minutes great volumes
OF dense black smoke came out of the
mouth of the pit. Great excitement en-
sued and soon crowds assembled at the
mouth of the mine. People did not know
how many persons were in the pit and
there were fears of great loss of life.
At length the companyS officials made
known the fact that only three men were
below when the flames broke out.
The shaft of the burning mine is zoo
feet deep and this with the great amount
of smoke and gas made it impossible for
the workmen to get a the fire. The or

the play. The theme was suggested
by Coins Financial School, and w.

by anti-silver sympathizers, caused
no little excitement, which was in
creased when. after the second act, II
was evident the piece had made a
hit.
The author. Fitzgerald Murphy.

being called before the curtain, sud
denly turned to Harvey and asked
him to say whether the play faith
fully presented the spirit of Coins
School" The audience was on tip
toe at the unusual incident and when
Harvey, arising in his place among
the spectators, said: 1T does, most
mS%nificently,". there was great cheer
ing, mingled with Kisses.
During the excitement Miss Frances
Drake, the San Francisco actress who
takes the leading feminine part, had

NEW YORK, Sept. 2-The Heralds
correspondent in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
telegraphs that the government has re-

ture from the state of Rio Grand do Sui.
The information is to the effect that
bands of revolution SITS in formidable
numbers have refused to lay down their
arms.
A large body of the revolving Brazil
lans has already declared that it will
renew the struggle, as the terms of peace
recently ratified are entirely unsatisfac-
tory. This body is now encamped in
force near Pelotas.
1t is reported that the government is
considering a proposition to order sew
eral sea going torpedo boats in Genoa.

be of great speed.

INDIAN CLAIMS.

Some Are Fraudulent.

Some Are just, Some Exhorb1tant
Some Are Fraudulent.
cu ANrRERLAIN, S. D., Sept. 2.-R.
p. spearman, agent of the court OF
claims who is at present visiting this
state. says that claims amounting to
ga 600 600 have been filed under the In
dian depreciation act of congress. Texas
heads the list, with New Mexico
good second. Some of these claims
are lust, some exorhitant, some fraud
ulent. AS an example, two Mexican
grandees of New Mexico claimed to
have lost $4,000 sheep, valued at 81
per head, and not only made afhdavlts
to that effect, but had fifteen or twenty
of their employees do the same thing.
It seemed to be a clear case of loss,
but the court objected to paying 81
per head for Mexican sheep. Mr..
Spearman was accordingly sent to New
Mexico by the court toTcompromlse on
81. so per head, but the Mexicans de-
clined all overtures to arbitrate. AS
this was Mr.. Spearmanss first case, he
was anxious to make a record, and
began an investigation, which result
ed in establishing the fact that the
Nexicans never owned more than 1000
sheep at any one time, and that a few
hundred head were actually stolen by
Navajo Indians, but at a different time
and place than that claimed. An en-
terprising Bear butte ranchman had
filed a claim for the loss of 100 tons of
hay at 5000 ton, alleged to have been
destroyed by Indians in March, 1877.
At the time hay was selling in that
region for $40 to $50 per ton.

ship.

LONDON, Sept. I'm a leading
article published today the Globe ex-
presses the opinion that the German
celebrations endanger the peace of
Europe. The tone of the Berlin papers
has been offensive and such as to
nee@essly wound the feeling of the
French people. The emperor has al
lowed himself to use language which
is at least capable of being misunder-
stood. While the Globe does not be-
lieve that the emperor desires war,
his utterances, it is said, are assuredly
not such as further peace.

LONDON. Sept. 2.-In long letter
from Andrew Carnegie which is pub
hshed in the Times today, Mr.. Carne-
gle urges that the paper exert it's in
fiuence to bring about pacific solu-
ton of the Irish question. Such
course. Mr.. Carnegie says, would
probably command support in Canada.
Australia and all the large cities
populated by our race abroad.
Mr.. Carnegie then says that the
language Of the call for a convention
of Irish Americans at Chicago shows
the despair and disappointment of
men who see in the advent of the
conservative party of Great Britain
to power no hope for justice for Ire
land. The letter then gives Mr.
Carnegie's views in favor of Home
Rule at considerable length and con-
cludes with saying: The question is
not only a British one, but unfor-
tunately an American as we'll, cast
ing its baneful influence over our

FIFTY INJURED.
!iflncsPALLING RAILWAY ACCIDENT
NEAR WOODLAND.
Wild Engine Clashes Into the Rear
Car of an Excursion Train-A Mad
Rush of Surging Humanity.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Sept. 2.-An
appalling railroad accident occurred
at $40 o'clock this afternoon near
Woodlawn station on the Sea Beach
railroad, in which fifty people were
injured. While train No. 8, drawing
seventeen cars, which were crowded
almost to suffocation by eXcursionists,
was standing at the Woodlawn sta
ton, a wild engine came laundering
along the tracks in its wake and
crashed into the rear car, telescoping
1t. The car was full of passengers,
most of whom came from New York.
Many people saw the engine tearing
along and jumped from the train and
thus saved their lives. A colored
porter yelled to the passengers to
jump
The runaway engine dashed into the
rear car, smashing it into kindling
wood, and burying men, women and
children beneath it. There was mad
rush of surging humanity from the
train. Scarcely half-a-dozen people
kept their heads, or were able to
render assistance to the injured.
Patrolman Kelly, who was on duty
at the station turned in several
ambulance calls and five ambulances
from the surrounding hospitals
promptly responded. In the meantime
the wood work Of the wrecked car
caught fire and was soon in a blaze.
Four cars wgre completely destroyed
before the train hands were able to
uncouple them, and four cars were
telescoped by the collision. Most of
the injured were taken to the hospitals
and several will probably die.
Tonight the police authorities, who
have Engineer Frank Jason and Fire
man Arthur Ross, of the runaway
engine under arrest, say engine No 6,
while shunting on the track, was in
danger while going backwards. of
collision with another engine. The
engineer, thinking it impossible to
avoid this collision reversed the lever
and jumped from the train, followed
by his fireman.
The engine, however, jumped for
ward almost Immediately and started
down the tracks at the terrific rate of
speed which resulted in the disaster.
