THE LOSS OF FOUR LIVES.
Two Others are Fatally Injured and
Several are
Badly Hurt - Terrified Passengers Pre-
vented the Conductor From Apply
ing Rear Brakes, Us the Train
Was Rushing Down
an Incline.

HAzLEToN, Pa, April IA frightful
accident occurred on the mountain
tracks of the Lehigh Traction Com
pany at Janesville, Saturday. A troll
ley car coming down the incline ran
away and three persons were killed
outright, two were probably fatally
injured and number of others were
seriously hurt Mrs. John Early, OF
Beaver Meadow; her son Edward, aged
8 years, and Mrs. Watkin 7. Williams,
of Hazelton, were killed.
Mrs. Joseph Evans and Mrs. Joseph
Weir, both of Colrain, were probably
fatally hurt, and the other injured in
cluded: James Evans, aged 10 years,
head and face cut, and his brother and
sister also badly bruised: Maggie Har-
pity, of Beaver Meadows, arms and
body bruised Hannah Somers, of Bea'
yer Meadows, body bruised; Watkin
Il. Williams, husband of Mrs. vii.
liams, who was killed, leg and body
bruised; two young men from Beaver
Meadows injured about the body.
AS the car passed out on the grade
leading down the mountain Motorman
Seitz applied the brake, but the chain
snapped. He then threw the safety
lever. To his horror this refused to
work and the terrified motorman
sprang to the reverse brake, hoping to
control the car by the current. The
action of the motorman and the speed
of the car had by this time alarmed
the passengers. Failing to control the
car Seitz shouted to Conductor Socks
to apply the rear brake. Tie motor
mans shouts caused panic in the car.
The passengers became excited and
rushed to the rear platform, prevent
ing the conductor from applying the
brakes. The car kept the rails until
it neared the bottom of the incline,
when it jumped the track and ran
against telegraph pole. The pole
was knocked down and the car plunged
into a ditch, badly wrecked. All OF
the passengers with the exception OF
Mrs. Evans jumped from the car. The
conductor and motorman were not
hurt.
Mrs. Joseph Evans, of Hazelton, died
at the hospital here last night. This
makes the fourth death at the hospital
resulting from the runaway car on the
Lehigh traction road at Janesville.

FREpRICHsRUHE, April IA beauti-
full sunny afternoon brought thous-

where they vainly sought admittance
to the park in the hope of catching
sight of the ex-chancellor. DIR. Chry-
sander, in view of the great crowds
that have recently thronged the park,
was firm in his decision not to admit
the public.
Prince Bismarck did not take his
customary walk Sunday, but had a
short stroll around the park to gather
strength for to-day, Palisades have
been erected behind the park to pre-
vent marauders from intruding upon
the privacy of the ex-chancellor. Beer
and champagne booths have been put
up on the right and left of the station
for the accommodation of visitors.
Along the triumphal way to the castle

cisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-Informa,
tion has reached the office of Hawaiian
Consul Wilder, of plot to overthrow
the present government in the islands.
The leaders of the conspiracy, which
was hatched in this city, are said to be

he gave it out that he intended soon
to return to Honolulu and proposed to
remain in spite of the wishes of the
government. little attention was
paid to his threat at the time, but sub,
sequent developments go to show that
ne meant business.
The conspirators have been negotiat,
ing for the charter of a schooner with
which to make an attack upon Homo.
lulu. The plan was to supply the
schooner with crew of men who were
willing to take the chances of the ex.
petition, furnish them with arms and
ammunition and a couple of Hotchkiss
rapid firing guns and so set sail On a
filibustering excursion. Negotiations
were entered into with owners of the
schooner Alexander, but whether they
were successful or not is matter ot
conjecture.
The Alexander is lying at the sea
wall, fitting out for mysterious
cruise to the south seas. That she has
fallen under suspicion of the authors
ties is shown by the fact that the Gus
toms inspectors are keeping close
watch upon her.

CHASTITY DISCOVERY.

The Body of Negro Woman Found
Strangled and With Both Legs Cut or
at the Knees.
New YORK. April 1.-The body of a
negro woman, strangled to death and
with both legs cut off and a large cash
at the right hip, was found at o'clock
Sunday morning in front of No. 75
Sixth avenue. 1t was shortly after
dawn when Mr.. Phillips, in passing,
saw suspicious looking bundle inside
the iron railing. He stopped, bent
over the railing and saw human foot
protrud ng from under the covering.
He Immediately ran to the Charles
street police station and told of his
discovery. The sergeant on duty sent
two men with stretcher to bring the
bundle to the station house.
When it arrived an examination was
begun. AS it was unwrapped the po-
lice saw the dead body a of negro wo-
man. Both legs were cut off at the
knees and were placed alongside the
hips.
Around the neck was piece of pink
cheese cloth, about five feet long,
which was twisted to serve as a rope.
This was knotted once over the wind
pipe and drawn SO tightly that the
skin was broken and few drops of
blood oozed out The tongue was pro-
truding and it was evident that death
was caused by strangulation.
There was nothing to indicate the
identity of the woman. She was ap-
parently about 2s or 30 years old, about
five feet four inches high; was of good
physical development and probably
weighed 100 pounds. When found the
body was wrapped in large piece of
canton flannel, such as is sometimes
used as piano cover.

CAPITAL NOTES.
Rumor That the Supreme
Court Decision
IN THE INCOME TAX CASES
VIII be Adverse to the Government.
Treasury Receipts and
Expenditures for the Month of March
Show That the Treasury is Holding
It's Own-Sixty Employees of
Bullion Department
Discharged.

WASHINGTON, April saturday was
Consultation day" in the supreme
court of the United States, and it is
stated on good authority that a vote
was taken on the important questions
involved in the income tax cases.
There is a possibility, therefore, that
the decision of the court will be an
nounced to-day, but in that case there
will probably only be a general an
nouncement of the principles decided,
the members of the court reserving
the right to file their written opinions
in support of their views atsome later
period.
1t is known positively that the SUI
preme court is divided upon the sub
ject, but in whatproportion cannot, of
course, be stated, as in that case the
decision of the court would be known.
Some portion of the law, it is thought,
may be declared void while other por-
tions may be upheld as the question
is so placed in the court that it is not
necessary for it to declare the law in
toto either constitutional or void.
The occurrence of frequent leaks"
in connection with supreme court de-
cisions within the past three months
gives an air of credibility to rumors
afoat as to the nature OF the decision.
The decision of the court in the trust
case was known three weeks before it
was delivered; and the decision in the
Bates refrigerator case, incidentally
carrying with it important principles
in telephone patents now pending in
the courts, was known on the Satur-
day before the decision was announced
on the following Monday.
In viewof these facts, rumors origi-
mating in the same quarter stating
that the court would decide the case
adversely to the government are being
passed around with more credence
than such rumors usually receive.
Government officials, however, expect
the law to be sustained.
Controller Bowler has decided that
the bullion roll of the treasury depart
ment is no longer legal and the sixty
people, mostly women, upon it have
been dismissed These ladies were
employed in counting money sent in
for redemption. The work will have
to be done by details of clerks from
the several bureaus. Many affecting
scenes were witnessed Saturday when
the final discharges were made. The
clerks on this roll were not in the civil
service classification and for that rea.
son the roll has been place for fa'
vored friends of statesmen possessing
influence.
The official monthly statement OF
treasury receipts and expenditures for
March, which will be issued to-day,
will show that the treasury has been
nearly able to hold its own during the
month. The excess of expenditures
over receipts will be less than $3.50, 900.
For the fiscal year to date the def
cheney will be stated at $4,000, 900 in
round figures.

NInnitobn School Question.

WINNIPEG, Man, April Premier
Greenway, in an interview Saturday,
on the school question, said: There
is no Likelihood that the Quebec mem
bers will be able to force the Domin-
ion government to legislate for sepa-
rate schools at the opening of the ses-
sion at Ottawa on the plea that Mani
toba has refused to pay. attention to
the remedial order. Such course, in
view of the fact that at some incon-
venience to the members the Manito-
ba government has adjourned the
house for time, that the order may
be fully and deliberately considered
would be unstatesmanlike and impos-
Sible "

days a very disastrous fire has been
raging in the country south Of this
town. 1t began Thursday on the ranch
of R. R. Kincaid The wind blew from
the northeast and the fire burned
everything before it. IT is impossible
to estimate the amount of damage
done. Longfellow's ranch lost over
200 tons of hay alone and other ranches
suffered proportionately Everybody
is worn out trying to fight the fire.
Reports last night Indicated that the
rains had put out the fire in some

deeply laden craft, almost swamping
her. She held her own gallantly un-
til the weight of the water on her
decks strained Eer and she sprang a
leak.
All night long the crew were kept at
the pumps, but the water gained con.
tinually on the pumps. On the morn,
ing of the 2Sth huge sea boarded the
scho oner forward and came rushing
aft, sweeping all before it, Three
men at the pumps We're caught up and
swept overheard in the twinkling of

managed to grab rope and was pulled
back on board by his comrades on
deck, but the other two were out of
sight in a few seconds as the vessel
swept on before the blast.
