THEY KNEW THEIR SAD FATE
Doomed EIdora Miners Write Letters 10
Friends and Relatives.

Friends and Relatives.
New York. Sept. ia special to the
Herald from Vancouver. 3. c.. says;
Advices received by the Australian
steamer Miowera says that the bodies
of victims of the Eidora mine disas-
ter have been recovered after two
weeks burial. The men were working
in NJ. c. Ayers mine when the banking
made to keep off the river gave way
filling the outlet of the mine with slum.
They were imprisoned and almost
within hearing of the rescuers. 1t took
exactly IA days to reach the dying men
and in that time all were beyond the
need Of assistance.
Evidences of terrible suffering of the
poor fellows at the last moments were
most heartrending. Believing that they
would be eventually reached by rescu-
ers, but knowing, too, that it would be
too late, the men evidently held an an
temortem council for most of them
wrote letters to friends and relatives
from their grave and there were evil
dences of solemn intercourse before
death ended their terrible sufferings.
All but one of the men were found
in a naturally formed chamber, dying
side by side quietly as if sleeping. They
wore peaceful expressions and must
before death have been lulled to sleep
by the generated gas.
By the letters left they had, however,
been in conversation together for "a
hours after their fearful imprison-
ment. The messages were written in
the dark and it took six hours to deci-
pher them.

HE sllENseuRe lYNcAINe CASES
Trial Begun and nilatorv Tactics on the
Part or the Defense.

lTiai Begun and ntlatOrv Tactics on the
Part OF the Defense.
Ellensburg, Sept. 16.-The trial Of
Mike Under. Frank Ueblelacher, Will
liam Kennedy, Frank Fiegle and Rob-
ert Linke, the men charged with muir
der in connection with the lynching
of the Wilson's on the 14th ult., began
this morning in the superior court,
Judge Humes of Seattle presiding.
The state was represented by E. e.
Wager. county attorney. assisted by
w. G. Graves. II. j. Snively, Edwin
Pruyn, ]. b. Davidson, Mires & War
ner and w. ]. Welsh appeared for the
defendants.
No demand was made for separate
trials, and all were arraigned together.
The jury box was at once filled from
the regular panel, % names being avail
able. Nine jurors had been passed for
cause when the panel was exhausted.
Judge Humes announced that he would
have the sheriff secure so names on an
open venire, but the defense objected
on the ground that such action was
contrary to the new law. The court
did not believe the Legislature contem-
plated the locking and delaying of the
work or courts, and he was willing, IL
wrong in the premises, to let the SUI
preme court correct him.
The defense then made the point that
as the sheriff was prosecuting witness
in the case, having sworn to the COM
plant, he is not qualified to select a
jury.
The court accepted that view. but
promptly instructed the clerk to mott
fly the coroner, who lives at Cle-Elum
to make service at the earliest possible
moment, and report to the court al
$3.50 Wednesday morning.
This action was taken because the
coroner assumes the duties of the sher-
iff whenever the latter, through any
cause, becomes disqualified.
The incomplete jury was then ordered
to be kept together in custody of two
bailiffs till reconvening of the cour
| Wednesday morning.

CHARGED WITH BEING A TRAITOR
Southern Statesmen Become Excited III
Constitutional Convention.

Columbia. S. c., Sept. 16.-The pro-
ceedings Of the constitutional conVen-
ton today were characterized by a
most exciting tilt between Senator Till
man and his brother, George d. Till
man, on the question of naming n new
county.
George Tillman on Saturday had sue
ceeded in getting the county named
Butler. Senator Butler was absent at
the time and returning today, he NOV
ed to change the name to Saluda. In
a passionate speech he charged Sena-
tor Butler with being a traitor to the
party and said that to name a county
after him was an insult to the reform
ers of the state
George d. Tillman, in reply, tainted
his brother with fighting a man whom
he had defeated and dramatically strik-
ing his breast exclaimed: THANK God
there is no sentiment in my heart that
would make me stoop so low"
The scene became extremely exciting
and the convention was in wild confus-
ion, which continued until adjournment
was taken at Ais p. m.
Senator Tillman in his speech taunt-
ed Senator Irby with not replying to
his brother, G. d. Tiuman, on Satur-
day, and Irby in a short speech, de-
nounced Tillman for stirring up strife
in the convention and said it came
with i'll grace from a man to hound his
fallen foe and declared that Butler in
patriotism, honesty aud courage was
the equal of Tillman or any other man
in the state. When vote was finally
obtained, Senator Tillman carried his
point and the new county was named
Saluda instead of Butler.

is CONVICTED OF MANsLAueHTER
The Close of singular Trial for Muir
der at Boise.

Boise, Sept. 16.-At Albion Saturday
in the case against Emil Berg for the
murder of Frank Hining, Berg was
convicted of manslaughter, the jury
returning it's verdict at 2 o'clock in
the morning.
This was a somewhat singular case,
it being shown that the deceased fired
the first shot, being then killed by the
man whom he assaulted. The trouble
was over water. On May 7, last, the
men met at the ditch. Words passed
and Hining drew revolver and fired.
Berg then shot him with a Winchester.
After he had fallen Berg shot at him
again.
When others came up, Hining admit
ted he fired first, but the jury felt that
Berg in firing a second time had used
unnecessary force.

CONCERNING FREE SILVER.
Some Historical Facts For 16 to -ers to
MAsticate.


In his recent sound money speech at
Hillsboro, Tex, Judge Rufus Hardy
cited the following historical facts:
The United States today has larger
circulation per capita than any free
coinage country ever did have.
1t has more gold dollars per capita
than any free coinage country on earth
today has of all kinds of money.
1t has more silver dollars per capita
than any free silver country today
1t has more gold than silver, and the
volume Of its silver circulation is great
er per capita than the entire circulation
of gold, silver and paper reduced to
silver-cf any free coinage nation.
The United States under gold stand
ard-since 1873 has maintained q
greater circulation per capita than it
ever did before
There has been five times more silver
coined under tho gold standard, from
1878 till now, 90 years, than there was
under free coinage from 1893 to 1878,
81 years.
Every nation that has adopted the
gold standard, except one or two who
are on deprecated paper bases, has in
creased it's circulation
No nation Of first class civilization
has the silver standard.
Mexico is the highest type of free sill
yer nation on earth on double standard,
SO called, and its per capita circulation
is SAT-.
Our per capita circulation has in
creased since 1873 more than the entire
circulation of Mexico.
The wages Of no free silver country
on earth average third Of those in the
United States
No country on earth has in practice
double (gold and silver standard.
No country for 900 years (since COM
merce became international) ever has in
practice had double standard
The proposition that there can be but
one standard is in fact self evident
