BIG MINES TO BE CLOSED.
Trouble Over PaymentS for Pumping

LEADVILLE, Colo, Jan. 1.-THE coal
company which furnish the boilers of the
great pumps at the Maid of Erin mine,
which drain most of the heavy producers
of the camp, was today notified that no
more coal would be required. This is
owing to the failure of the owners of wet
mines to agree to continue paying for
the pumping, and the pulling of the
pumps means the early closing down for
nearly every large silver, lead and iron
mine in Leadville.

A BICYCLISTS FATAL RIDE
Q. EDWARD LYON, A DANBURY BANH
TELLER, ,INSTANTLYKILLE

Trampled on by a Horse Whose Shoe Pence
trated Lyons Brain-victim Was Riding
Tamden With His Twin Brother-Col-
lided With Team the Occupants of
Which We're Unaware of the Fatality.
Danbury, Conn.,, Aug. &c. Edward
Lyon. aged thirty-two, teller in the
Danbury savings bank, was instantly
killed tonight while riding bicycle
by being run into by horse.
The victim of the accident, with his
twin brother: G. Fred Lyon, were rid
ing tandem on the Sugar hollow" road,
on the outskirts Of the city. and were
returning home. They met a team in
which were Mrs. Goetler and her two
daughters of Sanford's station, going
in an opposite direction, and as the
bicyclists attempted to cross the road
the horse suddenly reared, then SHE'D
and colhded with the wheelmen, who
were thrown to the ground. Edward,
who was on the rear seat, was stepped
on by the horse and the cork Of the shoe
struck him in the forehead over the left
eye and penetrated to the brain, killing
him instantly. The other brother was
also severely hurt about the body and
badly bruised
The occupants of the carriage were
greatly bewildered and drove away
without being aware of the Fatality
It was some time before the surviving
brother could realize the extent Of the
accident, and when he ascertained that
his brother was dead he was almost
overcome by the shock.

cessive, both In quantity and price
The numbers claimed were considera-
bly, in excess of the largest catch on
any of the other vessels, and the prices
We're certainly double the prices receiv-
ed by any other vessel.
Il have dealt somewhat at length
with the matter, as / feel convinced
that when the facts are fully under
stood pelagic sealing as now carried
on will be universally condemned.
Surely there is nothing unreasonable
in asking, even on Professor Thomp-
sons report, that the margin of safety
Is narrow one, If it be not in some
measure overstepped, that a conference
be held to consider whether the regula-
tions provided by the Paris award are
sufficient to protect the seal from total
extinction, or whether at any rate some
measures cannot be taken to preserve
the lives of the female seals and to
avert the amount of destruction by the
slow process of starvation of so many
thousands of pups. The arbitrators did
not themselves consider the regulations
made by them as at all permanent.
They expressly provided for their re-
consideration at any time by agree
ment between the two powers interest
ed, or at latest, at the end of five years,
viz, in August, 1898.
Upon those who oppose so reasona-
BILE request must rest the responsible
ity for the consequences that must in
evitably ensue, viz, the ultimate exter-
mination of the seal from the Pacific
ocean by the barbarous process of kill
ing the mothers and starving their
young.
Il think that, having regard to the
facts above stated and the end In view,
you will hardly consider the attempt to
secure some alteration in the present
system 'ungracious.'

AVENGED ms FArHERs DEATH.
Peter Barceo Killed the Man Who MUIR
dered His Father,

Peter Bnrceo Killed. tile Man VINO Mur-
dered His Father.
New York, Aug. 2.-Peter Barcio, an
italian youth Of eighteen, tonight shot
and mortally wounded Frank Cassata,
a barber, forty years of age. The bull
let entered Cassata's back. Young
Barcio made an effort to escape, but
was captured by policeman. The
prisoner admitted shooting Cassata and
said that he had done SO in revenge for
the death Of his father.
On February 4, 1895, Joseph Barcio
was shot and killed in front Of his
butcher shop on Elizabeth street, the
scene also of to-night's tragedy, by
Frank Cassata. Years before the men
had quarreled over woman who lived
in their native town in Italy. The feud
between the elder Barcio and Cassata,
the barber, was renewed and finally
ended in the killing. Both men drew
weapons. but the barber being the
quicker Of the two, fired first and Bar
clio fell dead in the street.
Cassata was arrested and tried and
found guilty of manslaughter and was
sentenced to nineteen years imprison-
ment. Several months ago Cassata was
pardoned because itsappeared doubtful
to the criminal authorities and the gov
ernor whether the convict had not shot
Barcio in self defence. When young
Barcio heard that his fathers murderer
had been released he says he swore
vengeance and made up his mind to
shoot Cassata on sight. He located his
victim tonight at the scene of the
crime Of two years and half ago. The
youth considered 1t a fitting place to
wreak vengeance and opened fire at
Cassata with 3S-calibre revolver. He
fired five shots at the man, but only
one of the bullets took effect.
Although when first arrested young
Barcio gloated over the shooting of his
fathers slayer when taken to the Null
berry street station house, he pleaded
self-defence, saying that Cassata had
struck him before he shot. This is de-
MED, however, by the witnesses who
say that it was clear case Of deHber-
ate assassination.
Cassata is dying at the hospital.

Nichol B. kept right on running wild.
In the stretch the runaway horse push
ed ahead and followed right behind the
sulkies of Pearl Onward and Castle
ton.

runaway passed in close to the rail,
and while the spectators held their
breath, expecting to see a smash-up,
Nichol B. poked his head under the
wire just ahead of Pearl Onward, who
won the heat. The runaway horse
slowed and turned at the first quarter
when he was caught by the stablemen
Although Murphy and Mclaughlin, the
drivers, were badly bruised by the spill,
