The President, he says, has waited until

The opinion has been formed. this gentle
man says, that Democratic victory is
on the eve of being consunlnated, and the

telegram of Endorsement to Mr.. Tracy. Had
the outlook been extremely doubtful he
says, an Endorsement of the platform would
not have been given, and Senator Hill would
have been left to suffer all the opprobrium

This course of reasoning, more than all
other claims combined, has thoroughly

Omaha, Nov. 29.-The vast yield of sugar
beets In Nebraska and the inability of
farmers to dispose of the enormous guam
uty as rapidly as convenient, has pro-
voked some peculiar violations of revenue
laws. A stlll was captured in Sherman

manufactured from beets. 1t was owned
by Charles Reldel farmer. The quality
was good. and fears are entertained by
revenue officers that others will engage in
the business.

teered the information that the operator
used sugar beets from which to manufac.
ture the spirits. Eastman then made in
Quirtes as to who raised sugar beets, and
In this way formed a very good idea.

earthly kings can heap up, and are free

frost seldom comes. Their sides are

metals useful to man. Their rocks stand
like giant statues on the horizon. The

in which 1t says:
For many months past the directors
have watched with anxiety the continued

developments would ensue, but Mr.. Mol

Carmel N. Y, Nov. 29.--An accident
resulting in the loss of 10 or IA lives oc-
CURED at the Tilley-Foster mines, a lit
tie after o'clock this afternoon. Fore
man Patrick was descending into the
pit to take the time of two gangs Of
laborers, numbering about 35 men,
who were working at the bottom. when
a vast weight of earth and rock slid
with the force of an avalanche from
the mouth OF the pit to the bottom, a
distance of 300 feet. The earth crushed
over the men with tremendous force.
Out of the gang of IL. only five came
out alive and three of the men en-
ployed in another gang were taken out
dead. Among those known to be dead
are:
Michael Cannon.
Patrick H. Murtha.
John Eagan.

An Austrian, name unknown.
An Austrian, whose name is I'M
known, received fracture OF the skull
and will probably die The names of the
others killed are at present unknown.
Several of the workmen were severely
est excitement, but gangs of men were
soon set at work to remove the bodies
of those under the mass of earth. Su-
perintendent Tompkins and Foreman
Lynch took charge of the work and up
to o'clock five dead bodies had been
brought to the surface. Murtha was
taken out alive, but he died five min

There was some difficulty experienced
in Identifying several of the bodies ow-
ing to the terrible Disagreement they
had undergone.

ter, small town located near Carmel
The first intimatlon to those below
was the low rumbling sound which pre-

shock came SO suddenly that few were
able to reach places Of safety. Half
dozen OF the workers were buried
under tons of debris. All of the bodies
were horribly mangled One by one
the bodies were brought out and car
ried to the carpenter shop, where an

remains and uttered EXPLANATIONS of

was made known.
