CARNEGIE BLACKBALLED,
The Pittsburg Millionaire Shut
Out of the Cleveland Cham.
Der of Commerce.
Refused Honorary Membership and
Denounced as an Oppressor
of the Poor.

CLEVELAND, ONO, Feb. 19.-Andrew
Carnegie, the Pittsburg millionaire, was
refused honorary mem bership in the
Cleveland Chamber of Commerce tonight.
Mr.. Carnegie has long been an active cor
respondent of the chamber and has spoken
before it on two occasions. The cause of
his rundown has created sensation in
this city.
When J. w. Cowles presented Carnegies
name L. A. Russell delivered bitter
speech against Carnegie, whom he de-
nounced as an oppressor of the poor and
challenged any one to dispute the state
menJ.
The Chamber of Commerce is dignified
body, but the scene which ensued was
much like a souabble in political conven-
ton. Some business men sided with Car
negie, but more opposed him.
Amid much confusion a secret ballot
was ordered, with the result, as announced
by President Wilson M. Day of the cham
Der, that Andrew Carnegie had been black
balled from mem bership in the Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce.
The action Of the cham Der is an immense
surprise to the general public, as it was
supposed the business men here looked
upon Carnegie as a sort of commercial
demi-god.

CUTTERS AND TRiMMERS STRIKE.
1t Is Expected That Nearly Fifteen Thou
sand Clothing Workers WW
Soon Quit Work.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb 1S.-Hirsch, Elson
& Co., clothing ng-manufacturers, to-day re-
ported that nearly 100 more men had
joined the striking cutters and trimmers
since yesterday. The situation is so seri-
Gus that within forty-eight hours general
strike of the Clothing-cutters' and Trim
mers' Union, involving 1900 to Is 600
workmen and women, is expected by the
union men as well as By the employers.
c. P. Kellog & Co. were unable to operate
their establishments to-day because twen-
ty-five men joined the strikers. The same
number walked out Of Guthman, Uhlman
& Silberman's factory, and smaller num-
bers quit work in other factories. Hn2ch,
Elson & Co. expect all their 400 employees
to. be on strike tomorrow night, when
decisive meeting of the union will be held
as to calling general strike.
Cutters and trimmers want the manu-
facturers to keep the agreement made with
the union as to hours and wages and shop
regulations, while the employers say that
they are simply resisting the arbitrary
edicts of the union and intend to say here
after what wages they shall pay and the
hours their men shall work.

RICHMOND, VA, Feb. 18.-At Castle
Hill, Albemarle County, the home of the
bride, Mrs. Amelie Rives- Cbanler, the
authoress, was at 3 o'clock to-day married
to Prince Troubetzkoi, a Russian noble
man. The affair was very quiet and great
efforts were made to keep the time of the
event from the public.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Paul L. Menzel, ID, of this city, Ger
man Lutheran minister, and was accord
ing to the form of the Episcopal church.
Miss Gertrude Rives, sister of the bride.
was maid of honor and Allan Potts of this
city was best man. The bridesmaids were

TWO INDIANS FREEZE TO DEATH.
Wn1e6agos Drink Too Much Fire water and
Wander Away on the Prairie
to PERISH

PENDER, NEBR., Feb, 18.-News was re-
ceived this evening that three Indians,
living in the vicinity of Big Horse Wawa-
ba's farm on the Winnebago reservation,
secured two or three gallons of whisky at
Pender yesterday, and after filing them
selves with liquor proceeded to have an
old-time war-dance, stripping to the skin
for that purpose. After thoroughly ex-
hausting themselves they fell in drunken
stupor and finally wandered out some dis
tance on the prairie, where they were
found by a party of white men, frozen to
death. The inside facts are hard to ascer-
tain, owing to those interested wishing to
cover the matter up. Bootleggers. it is
claimed, furnished the whisky.

All Those Laboring Underneath
the Ground Meet Death
Instantly.
WRECKED AND SET ON FIRE.
The Vulcan Mine at Newcastle, Colo,
Will Have to Be. Abandoned
to the Flames.

NEWCASTLE, Colo, Feb. 1S.-The Vul-
can coal mine, located in the hogback, Just
below town, was completely wrecked and
set on fire by terrific gas explosion shortly
after IL o'clock to-day and all the work
men in the mine were instantly killed.
About sixty men, including foremen and
coal operators, were in the several rooms
along the slope when the disaster occurred,
and so severe was the explosion that not a
single man could have survived the shock
or the fire which mediately ensued.
The old Vulcan mine was abandoned some
years ago because of fire, and this new
mine will doubtless share a similar fate.
With the exception of few bosses the
killed are Italians, but in the confusion
and excitement of the day it has been i'm
possible at this time to make a complete
roster of the names of the unfortunates.
The town of Newcastle was shaken as If
by an earthquake by the explosion, and a
dense black cloud obscuring the site of
the Vulcan mine ana workings indicated
only too plainly what had occurred. The
entire population rushed to the scene to
behold the surface workmen in the midst
of thick cloud of dust trying in vain to
start Gne WOris OF TeSculnR tne1r uDfOrtu-
nate fellow borers within.
The earth had settled perceptbly about
the hillside, and the dense mass of black
smoke issuing from crevices in the up
heaved mass gave evidence that the coal
vein had surely been set on fire by the
explosion. Women and children rushed
shrieking and screaming to the scene,
adding to the confusion. The mine
owned by the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company, two and half miles away, was
promptly closed down, and all hands
FASTENED to assist Superintendent Herrcke
of the Vulcan in the work of rescue, but it
was quickly seen that little could be
done.
Herrcke with several men had torn
away the broken timbers at the landing,
and had rushed into the slope soon after
the explosion occurred with wet sponges
on their rostrils, only to be driven back
again by the deadly fumes.
A special train was sent to the mine by
the Colorado Midland Railway Com pany
with medical assistance, prepared to'care
for the wounded if any were rescued, but

huntington had long tried to estab-
lish q good line of steamers between New.
\ ork and Liverpool.
Morgan-In the interest of the Southern
Pacitc2
Huntington-To a certain extent
Morgan-But you can't say what you
have done for the Central Pacific. Did you
expect the latter road to prosper when you
did nothing for it and everything for its
competitor, the Southern route?
Huntington-The Central Pacific is in
very good physical condition. Forty
fiftieths OF the fruit has been sent over it.
Huntington Indignantly denied the as
sertion made at the convention in San
Francisco to the effect that he, Stanford
Hopkins and Crocker had made $200, ,000,-
coo.
He denounced it as a lie, as we'll as the
assertion that they had derived from the
City and County, State and general
sources four times as much as it cost to
construct the road.
Morgan inquired how much money
earned in railroading had been put into
the roads.
Huntingdon think I was worth about
million dollars when / commenced rail
roading, but after completing the Central
Pacific l was considerably poorer on ac-
count of the heavy accumulation of debts
Senator Morgan inquired about the con-
tract of the railroad with the Pacific Mail
steamers, via Panama.
Huntington said $4,000 had been paid
them, and this contract continued three
years. 1t was done in order to keep rates
uniform and in measure prevent rate
cutting.
Morgan-But you, as guardian and prin-
cipal executive officer, have never done
anything Tor the Central road?
Huntingdon think my management
of the road has been very fair. | know
that [ made money out of the Chesapeake
and Ohio, Big Sandy and other roads in
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and
Tennessee, after they had been abandoned
by others, but / lost money in construct
ing the Central Pacific.
As to the proposition for the settlement
of the Central Pacific to the Government
Huntington professed the Willingness and
desire of the company to pay every dollar
of it on an extension of 100 years at 2 per
cent, but would not admit that there was
any liability on the company to pay inter
est on the interest payments heretofore
made by the Government
Morgan-I guess we have heard enough
for to-day.
Huntington-Can't you hear me an hour
longer?
Morgan-No, sir.
Hnntington-Ca you hold night ses-
sions? [ have important business in New
York.
Morgan-No; l don't propose to sit at
night. work hard enough now for nv
salary. 1 am not made of steel or railroad
bonds.
The committee then ad journed to meet
Thursday, when the examination of Hunt
ington will be resumed.

BELLOWS FALLS, VT, Feb. 1S.-A
passenger train on the Central Vermont
road went down forty-foot embankment
near Ludlow Vt, this morning. A num-
Der OF trainmen and passengers were seri-
ously injured.
The wreck was caused by broken rail.
The baggage-car, mail-car and one coach
went down the embankment and were
smashed. The engine was left on the ties.
Six or eight passengers, besides the
trainmen, were hurt. The most seriously
injured is 7. J. Baker, employed by the
railroad as carpenter, and it is doubtful
if he can live. This is the third train 10

For the LIGHT.
A few days since, and in city daily
newspaper, Col. Nelson Mackey rises and
says that our city must issue more bonds
to meet the general expenses of the city.
Is it possible that Col. Mackey is IL
norant OF the following propositions Of
law:
1st. The city of San Antonio has no
power to create debt to defray the gem
eral expenses of the city and to issue
negotiable notes or bonds to secure such
debt
End. The city of San Antonio has no
power to create debt for any but spe-
cifc purpose land to pay the general ex &.
penses of the city is not one of them).
3rd. The city of San Antonio has now
bonded indebtedness of over g., 900, 900.
and which sum is nearly or quite per
cent upon the cash value of all the prop
erty In the city, and by the city charter,
the city must stop at s per cent upon the
cash value (no assessors fictitious valnes)
and a thousand taxpayers stand ready to
say stop your bond issues"
No, Capt. Mackey, no more bonds; cut
down city expenses, cut off sinecure Of

A GRATEFUL TESTIMONIAL.

San Antonio's Climate From Visiting
Physicians Standpoint.
A letter has been received by a
member of the LIGHT staff from
DR.. Byron II. Kilbourne, a promi-
nent physician Of Milwaukee, who
spent two months Of last winter in
San Antonio, for his health. OF
public interest is part of the letter,
to-wit:
81 arrived home safe, though
won't say we'll, unfortunately. You
will, perhaps, remember that be-
fore l left San Antonio, my liver
was sluggish. 1 don't attribute
this to the climate of San Antonio,
however, for / consider that one Of
the finest and healthiest climates
in the world, as witness how quick
1 was completely cured of my
rheumatism in a few days. What
do lay it to is the fact that
you were making sewers all over
town at the same time-instead of
taking it street by street-thus
throwing up an immense amount
of 200 years. surface sewerage sat-
urated soil, filed with mephitic
gases. The weather has been very
cold since my return, but today is
pleasant and L write with my win
dow open. But even so, 1t is many
degrees colder than the coolest day
we had in San Antonio during my
visit Of two months, and those, the
winter months Qf you have any
such thing as winter, which L
doubt OF January and February.
Dear old San Antonio has won my
heart completely and II am alive
and we'll next winter you can count
upon seeing me there sure, and for
a much longer stay, four or five
months at least. / want to stay
anyway until June, to see and
know something Of your summer.
Toward fall l intend to write some
articles for our leading paper here,
calling the attention of our people
to San Antonio as a much more
desirable winter resort than Flori.
da, both for we'll and i'll, and especi,
ally for all pulmonary and rheu-
matte LESSONS. q only wish l could
say that you have good hotel.)
