Conductor James ONei!L who was in
charge Of the freight train, testified thal 1
the engine was going slowly at the time
and was showing the cab which was in
front of the engine. The cab, and not the
engine, he said, struck the man. There
was a tiagman on the cab at the time, and
he could see every move that was made.
Witness described the scene of the acci-
dent as mass Of tracks, and said thai
cars We're parked on two tracks right up to

the accident.

THE VACANT JUSTICESHIP
A Report That Mr.. Cleveland Will Appoint
Secretary Oaflisle.
If This is Done q New York Man
Likely to Head the Treasury
Department.

There was nothing in the report this morn
ing that the visit of Senator Hill to WASH
ington was expressly to confer with the
members of the administration concerning
the appoir tment Of justice Of the Supreme
Court to succeed the late Justice Jackson
This report grew out of the fact that Mr.
Hill had an interview with Attorney General
Harmon before calling on Lamont. 1t is
authoritatively stated that this interview
with the Attorney General related entirely
to private legal matters and that the Su-
preme Court justiceShip was not discussed
1t is further stated that no member of the
administration asked Mr.. Hill whether he
would consent to the confirmation of Horn
blower or Peckham.
May BE Carlisle.
There is a report current today that Mr..
Cleveland has about made up his mind to
appoint Secretary Carlisle to the vacant
jdsticeship. 1t is recognized that Mr.. Car
Isle by abandoning all his old political as
sociations to ally himself completely with
Mr.. Cleveland and by the adoption of Mr.
Cleveland's 8 politics in bulk has placed him.
self i'll a situation where there is little pros
pect of his procuring further political pre-
ferment. While Blackburn is likely to be
defeated by the tie in the Kentucky legisla-
ture, 10 possibility is imagined of a comb.-
nation being made which would elect Mr.
Carlisle.
Carlisle is charged by the Blackburn pec-
pc with being responsible for Kentucky 8
going republican, and it is regarded as en-
tirely probable that the Blackburn people
Will be strong enough and vind;ctive enough
to prevent the Kentucky delegation from
going to the democratic national conven-
ton with a complement for Carlisle, and
that he would be in danger Of defeat for
any honor he might seek in the state.
Mr.. Cleveland Attached to Him.
Mr.. Cleveland is greatly attached to his
Secretary of the Treasury on account of
the devotion he has shown and the sacr-
fees he has made. In considera ton of this it
is said that the President desires to place
him beyond the reach of his political enc.
mics and in a position of dignity, and is,
therefore disposed to give him the ap-
pointment to the Supreme bench. 1t has
besn said by Mr.. Carlis.e's friends that he
contemplated. on retiring from the cabinet
to take up the practice of law in New York
but 1t is believed that he will be very glad
to accept a position on the Supreme bench,
and the reasons which on a former occa sion
prevented Mr.. Cleveland from giving him
such an appointment have been removed
If this is DONE a New York man will be
appointed Secretary of the Treasury.

The Indians Greatly Excited and
an Outbreak Feared.
The AGENT ORDERS CARTRIDGES
The Indians Were Hunting Off the
Reservation.
S E T 7 L E RS IN FE A r

DENVER, Col, November PA special
to the News from Durango. Col. says:
David Day, Indian agent, has telegraphed
from Ignacio that two Indians and
squaw have been killed by unknown par
ties near the head of Lost canon. The
Utes are greatly enraged, and Mr.. Day
fears the safety of the settlers may be
threatened"
At the Irdian Office Commissioner Brown
ing this afternoon gave out the following
telegram from Agent Day at Ignacio:
"Have sent eight police, in charge of STAN
ley A. Day and Joe Smith, to the scene OF
the murder. There is no danger from any
Indians here, but they are excited and un-
easy. More on account of fear of western
UteS than any other agency Buckskn Char
lie is fearfully agitated, but / attribute his
unrest largely to cowardice, because he Is
afraid of both Ignacio and Marino. Have
ordered 800 rounds of cartridges from Du-
rango. more 10 allay fear than of any
tho ught Of having to use them. Will report
result of Investigation by wire. Police VIII
reach scene of murder Wednesday night, as
it is about 100 miles distant by road and
trail"
AS understood here the murders were
committed about 100 miles from the agency,
to the eastward and off the reservation.
The Indians killed We're hunting. The ex-
cftement is natural on part of the Ctes. who
are not disposed to go to war, and have been
greatly imposed upon by cattle men and
miners for many years. Their reservation
was once one of splendid proportions, but
has been twice cut down TO crafty the
rapacity Of the whites, and is now an in
significant tract in the extreme southwest
ern portion of Colorado. The Utes that were
removed to Utah after the Meeker massacre
are more warlike, and 1t has not been an
easy matter to keep them on their reserva-
ton. There is reasonable fear of trouble to
follow the affair at Lost Canon.

To Prevent Burial Alive.

The unpleasantness of waking up aud
finding ones self Tapped in lead and
screwed down in handsome oak some six
feet below the habitable earth has been
borne in SO strongly upon certain COM
pany promoters that the result has been
the projection Of the very latest thing in
cooperative undertaking. This is the
Mortuary Waiting Room Company,
which is on the point of being floated in
the French capitol, with every prospect of
success. The amount for subscription Is
stated to be $4,000 and dividends at the
rate of at least 100 per cent may, it is
claimed, be confidently looked for.
The company undertakes to provide
seperate waiting rooms, of two classes, in
large mortuary building. The alleged
corpses will be comfortably deposited
there upon a couch and carefully looked
after till the fact that it Is corpse shall
have been established beyond question.
The waiting rooms will be tastefully dec
GRATED, with everything about them to
welcome the revived tenant agreeably
back to life, but at the same time will
have cachet Of somewhat "severe ele-
gance," as it were, to remind him how
nearly, but for the company, he had been
dead in the most terrible ways Of dying.
Shareholders will be entitled to the use
of a tirst-class waiting room free of
charge, and no Shareholders heir will be
allowed to visit him. The thing has evil
dently been thoroughly thought OUT
