Vicksburg Miss, May ll.-One of the
most terrible disasters Of recent years
occurred last night about twenty-five
miles below this city. The tow boat
Harry Brown, of Pittsburg, upward
bound, from New Orleans, exploded her
boilers at IL o'clock. The boat was COM

WORK OF RESCUE.
The bodies of the killed. which We're

the saving of many lives. Captain

vessel was running at her usual speed
and under no special pressure, and he
can form no idea of the reason of the
explosion. The boat carried list of
forty-eight officers and crew, all white.
She had in tow sixty empty barges and

MONTANA CONVENTION.
Bime tnllism. Protection and Reciprocity
the Cardinal Principles

Butte, Mont. May 1.-THE Repubi-
can state convention called to select
delegates to the national convention
was held here today. The only contest
was between the old lire Republicans
and the American Protective associa-
tion, the latter making Il fight against
the endorsement Of Senators Mantle
and Carter. and Congressman Hartman
because of their views on the Indian
appropriation bill. The test vote came
on Il motion to seat q cOntesting anti
American Protective association dele
cation from Granite county. and the
American Protective association was
defeated by vote of 197 to 1Oi Roso-
lutions were then adopted commencing
in unqualified terms the action of Sen
ators Teller, Dubois. Cannon. Mantle
and Carter on the silver question. Ri
mctallism protection and reciprocity
We're the three cardinal principles Of
Republican faith and declaration was
made for the free and unlimited coinage
Of both "rld and silver at ratio of
16 to I, independently by the United
States.
An effort was made to instruct the
national delegates to walk out of the
st. Louis convention in case free silver
was recognized but the effort failed.
Mckinley'S name was very coldly re-
ceived and the delegates will go to St
Lnuis uninstructed.

IN favor OF the COMPANY
Judge AchcSCn Annul> Work of Inter-
State Commerce Commission.
A VERY IMPORTANT DECISION
Utility of the Comnissio is Destroyed
in Case OF Coke brothers vs.. Lehish
Valley Railroad Company Pct-
tion for Injunction dismissed.

Philadelphia May 1l.-JudCe Acheson
filed an opinion in the United States
circuit court today deciding in favor
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company
in the proceedings instituted against
the road by the Interstate commerce
commission. The action was AN out
come of the suit of Coke brothers x
company. the anthracite coal miners
and shippers of Drifton. Pa, against
the railroad for alleged discrimination
in freight rates. Simon Sterne. of New
York, represented the Interstate COM
merce commission ana John q. johnson,
Of Philadelphia, was the attorney for
the railroad.
ON oct. ~. 1883. Coke Brothers & com
pany filed IA complaint with the inter
state commerce commission against the
Lehigh Valley railroad. The proceed
ing resulted in a finding by the commits
sion that the rates and charges cstab-
lshcd by the defendant and then in
force over its lines for the tranSporta
ton of coal from the Lehigh anthracite
Goa! regions in Pennsylvania t. Perth
AmbOy, n. j., were unreasonable aud
unjust On March Is, 1891, the commits
sion made an order directing that the
charges should not be over "a certain
rate per ton.
The railroad company filed an an
swer denying that the rates were un-
reasonable ur unjust and declaring the
finding OF the commission was against
the evidence.
ESTIMATE UNRELIABLE.
The case then came before the court,
Judge Acleson after reviewing the cir
cumstances of the litigation said: THE
railroad company's report for 1887 upon
which the commission based its est-
mate does not furnish the data by
which the actual cost of carrying coal
from the Lehigh and MahanOy mines
to Perth Amboy can be ascertained.
The commission therefore resorted to
an estimate of the carrying cost. That
estimate however as we have seen rests
upon an erroneous principle and is un-
reliable. Hence the order based there
on cannot he sustained and is not TO be
jldicially enforced
After quoting decisions of the United
States supreme court in Interstate
commerce cases. Judge Acheson con-
cluded:
"rhese views of the supreme court de-
cisively show that the interstate COM
merce commission is not clothed with
the power to fix rates which it under
took to exercise in this case. The petit
tion of the interstate commerce COM
mission must he dismissed.
The court ordered that a decree to this
effect he drawn.
The Lehigh Valley railroad did rot
obey the order of the Interstate COM
mcrce commission in the case and the
commission applied to the United States
circuit court for an injunction to re-
strain the railroad from violating the
order and for decree compelling its
enforcement. The opinion Of Judge
Acheson was upon this application.

of the novelties the express people are

prowess in rObbing trains himself. Is
what the express companies are aiming
after. They do nCi know. they say.
that he could stop Il determined rob-
Der any mere than one of their own

train robber would hesitate to tackle
him.
James is willing to accept the position
and guarantees that no train in his
charge will be robbed eXceot over his
dead body, with one single nrovision,
and that is that the express people put
up a bond of $50 1000, this amount to go to
his widow in case of his death.
