SIX ARE DEAD
As the Result Of an ExplS2s2n and
Cave-in at Leadville Mine--FOw
Others Injured

Leadville, Col. September 2G.-The
worst accident that ever occurred i'm
this camp happened about one o'clock
this afternoon at the Belgian mine, re-
sulting in the death of six miners and
injuring four others. The dead are:
]. II. Gray. John Hamill Clark Nc
Ginniss, John Beggs, Chris Phillips,
Ed. Kuhn.
The injured are: J. IT, Reynolds,
James Baxter, Alex. Parker John
Waters.
The men were working i'm o drift and
slope about ten feet above the lower
levels, where fifty pounds of powder
had been stored According to Super
intendent Doddridge. he had positively
forbidden more than five pounds OF
powder to be taken into the mine -
one time. but it is known that tiftY
pounds was I'm the slope at the time.
Five or ten of this was iu am oil can
warming with lighted shulles under it.
This. it seems. is the usual method OK
warming powder. I'm some manner it
exploded. and the cOncsusiOn set or
the remaining powder This terrific
shock caused dirt to block the slope
and the men could not get out and six
of them slowly smothered to death.
AS many volunteers as could be put
TO work began digging through the
mass of dirt and i'm an hour had brok-
on through and discovered the miners
living along the TWO drifts. There
we're five I'm what is known as the Bel
giau drift-all dead, and four In the
other three of whom were alive. The
dead and injured were rapidly taken
10 the surface and the injured were re-
moved to the hospital. lt is thought
that all Of the injured men Will re-
cover. ,......
The men killed, so far as is known:
were all single. Tonight crowds or
neople visited the morgue TO review the
remains. and the crush vas such that
the doors had to be locked ana only

THERE Is A QUESTION
in the mind of some Of the officials
whether England viii not back down

she Will, for no one conceals the fact
that we are but lily prepared for a CON

are that We would get a mighty good

Therefore, if England Will retire from

Minneapolis, Mimi, September 90
At to-day's meeting of the American

ed the report of a medical committee.
which for several months had been en-
gagged in sounding public sentiment re-
garding vivisecton. over 1000 ex-
pressions of opinions were obtained
from leading physicians, teachers in
medical colleges, authors, clergymen.
college presidents and professors. Of
these only about oue-eighth were in
favor of unrestricted experimentation
upon living animals the large majority
being either for absolute prohibition or
for such restriction by law as should
limit vivisecCOn to painless operations.
or to those having a definite relation to
the treatment of human ailments. A
preponderance of sentiment appeared
favorable to a statement Of opinion
which declared 'that only a great and
definite advance to the interests of hu-
manity can justify vivisection at all"
Resolutions condemniug the Gov
ernor of Colorado for his "timidity and
Indifference In permitting the Gillette

The efforts of President Elliott. Of
Harvard, to free intercollegiate ath-
letic sports from their "well known
brutality" were commended after a

DIED TOGETHER.
Joseph Renisch and His Sweetheart
Could Not Bear to Part-COmmit-
ted Suicide in st. Louis.

St. Louis. Sept. 2S.-At an early hour
to-day Robert Schmidt, a clothiar. d.s-
covered the dead bodies Of Joseph Rem
isch and Della Bowen, near the Lindell
Railway entrance to Lower Grove Park.
The right temple of each was pierced
by a bullet which caused q great flow
Of blood About two o'clock q lady liv-
ing in the vicinity heard TWO pistol
shots but did not know who fred them.
Investigation disclosed a note written
by the girl in a small memorandum
book, as follows:
Goodbye all. 7 used it for myself
and he used i for himself"
Near the bodies was q revolver with
two cartridges exploded.
Letters found in the pockets Of Rem
isch who is a pressman, show that he
was about to leave St. Louis, to look for
work and he was most probably going
to New York and did not expect to re-
turn for two years. They were lovers
and had evidently struggled hard to
give up each other, but thought death
preferable to separation. Renisch was
a married man. Some time ago he be-
came entangled in an affair with a
young woman and it is said, was com
PEELED to marry her in court He never
lived with her, however. Lately he
has been keeping company with Miss
Bowen in opposition to the viii Of the
latJer's parents. The presumption is
that the couple went to the park and
mutually agreed to END their lives.
Miss Bowen was an accomplished
daughter of Joseph Bowen, organist
and musical instructor at st. Johns
Catholic Church 'and was about Is
years of age. The remains Of both
were taken to the mOrgue.
