A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Occurs to Three Brothers Who We
Digging Well at West riverside

Occurs to Three Brothers Who Were
Digging n Well at West Riverside.
RIVERSIDE, Oct. 2. "A terrible accident
in which a man lost his life and another
his reason, and third lies danger
ously poisoned by noxious gases, is
reported from West Riverside, set
tlement several miles west of this city.
William, Hugh and Thomas Higgins
were digging well, and had reached
depth of l02 feet. when rock was encoun-
tered. Dynamite was used for blasting.
The mon placed couple of blasts late
yesterday afternoon, only one of which
exploded. Will was lowered into the
well to investigate. Soon after reaching
the bottom he signaled his brothers 10
haul him up. This they started to do,
but the unfortunate man was too much
overcome to hold on to the bucket, and
fell out, after being raised twenty feet. A
death wall was all that was heard after
the fall.
The other brothers surmised the worst,
and one of them started down to recover
the injured man. This one, too, was soon
nearly overcome, but not before he had put
the dead body in the bucket and gave the
signal to hoist Hugh Higgins, the other
brother. was suddenly bereft of his
reason when be saw the lifeess body of
his brother. and the terrible condition of
the other brother who went to the rescue.

CAN'T FIGHT IN TEXAS.
NO MORE RING CONTESTS IN THE
LONE STAR STATE.
The Legislature Almost Unanimously
Pssses a Law Making 1t Felony
to Engage in One.

AUSTIN (Texas), Oct. 2.-Corbett and
Fitzsimmons must find another place
than Texas in which to pull off their
fight for the championship of the world.
The Legislature to-day, by vote that
was practically unanimous in the Senate
and only little less in the House, passed
the bill prohibiting prize ightjng, and
thus accomplished the purpose for which
the Governor assent bled them in special
session.
The vote by which the bill was carried
furnished the strong proof of the senti-
ment OF the State with reference to prize
fighting. The only rallying- point OF the
minority was the opposition to the emer-
gency clause, which carried the bill into
immediate effect. If the members hon
estly regarded this as an injustice to such
of the citizens of Dallas as had spent large
sums in anticipation of the tight, and op-
posed it for that reason alone, their argu-
ments were not effective, and the final
vote showed but five votes i'll opposition,
with l07 in it's favor.
In the Senate the bill was carried with
only one negative vote in the twenty
seven that were cast. They made quick
work of the measure. They then took q
recess until 3 p. NJ. in order that the
Dallas people might be given a full hear
ing by the Judiciary Committee. Within
fifty-five minutes after feassem bling the
bill had passed.
The House is the largest body, and
several members desired to be heard
upon the Senate Dill, which was ubsti-
tuted for the House bill then pending.
Amid applause a number Of amend
ments were offered. Several were
adopted, but these do not change the
measure to any material extent, ex xcept to
make it still more effective. AS result
of these amendments. the bill will be re-
turned to the Senate tomorrow, but its
adoption will be delayed no longer than
necessary to call the roll. 1t will then be
sent to the Governor, aud when mis- sigma
ture shall have been attached it will be-
come law.
The bill makes prize-fig felony,
and imposes a punishment upon the
principals for every infraction of the
law by imprisonment in the penitentiary
for term of not less than two and not
more than four years.

PACIFIC RAILWAY DEBTS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Wade Hamp-
ton, Commissioner of Railroads. has
made his annual report to the Secretary
of the Interior. He says in the hard times
it appears that the gross receipts OF the
Union Pacific system were reduced ST.
000, 600 a month below the normal. The
Commissioner says that the cast-iron rule
as to payments cannot be observed, and
thinks there should pe flexible ADJUST
ment of annual payments to CORES pond
with diminished earnings. He thinks the
Thurman Act will be found To justify all
the expectations OF lis trainers ii the fol-
lowing amendments are made:
tlrst-Io EN- brace within its provisions
all Pacific roads which have received
from the United States loan of bonds in
aid of its construction.
Second-Io provide that 30 per cent.
instead of 25 per cent. of the net earnings
be retained.
rhird-To extend the debt until it shall
have been discharged as provided.
Fourth-To further provide That if any
OF the companies abandon any portion of
the su bsidiZed lines or divert their busi-
ness from subsidized to unsubsidized
roads, the company shall. in such cases,
be required to transfer the lien and con-
dition which attached to the old or sub
sldiZed line to the new and unsubsdized
line, in order that the rights and interests
of the United States may be protected
The Commissioner believes That such
legislation will hasten the payment Of the

Who Held Up the Coulterville
Stage-A Woman Dragged to Death
by a Runaway Horse at Santa Ana.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.-To-day's ses-
sion of the Durrant case was taken up by
the defense in an attempt 10 verify the
roll-call of the lecture at Cooper College
on the afternoon of April Sd, on which
Durrant mainly depends to show that he
was not in Blanche Lamont's company at
the time of the murder.
The entire senior class, to which Dur
rant belonged, was subpenaed, and nearly
ali its members were examined to-day.
The questions propounded by Durrants
counsel were directed to show whether
any of his classmates had answered for
him; whether they had heard any one
answer for him, and if they remembered
any one except the lecturer and the mem
Der who called the roll as being present
on that afternoon. The answer in each
case was in the negative. 1t was impos-
sibe for the students to remem Der
whether or not Durrant was at the col
lege or whether any other member of the
class was there. 1t was not merely a case
of not seeing Durrant there. but OF not
knowing whether or not he was in his
seat.
The prosecution has witness who will
testify that Durrant was not in his seat
that afternoon, but three OF the witnesses
who were present testified that they were
not in their seats during the lecture. The
testimony of the witnesses showed that
as to the attendance or absence of the
students other than Durrant the rolI-cali
was correct.
The prosecution will now seek to show
by members whose notes OF the lecture
Durrant borrowed that he was not there,
and IN order TO familiariZe himself with
the subject matter of the lecture, copied
the notes of students who were there. To
this the defense will claim that Durrant
| borrowed them TO get a bettor under
standing the lecture than his own notes
gave him. One of the students who at
