traders. There was a fair business
transacted during the session, the early
tone being sustained throughout. No
heavy lots changed hands, but the ag-
gregate was moderately larger.
The market for oats was little else
than an cumulative one, the prevailing
tone of corn being communicated by
sympathy. Business was on a small
scale, the covering of a moderate short
line by a commission house being the
only trade at all notable. Cash oats
were steady and unchanged.
An upturn Of 5 to 10c in hog prices at

The Evansville Train Wreck

Evansville, Ind, March 12.-It is
now certain hat five lives were lost
in the Evansville n Terre Haute
railroad disaster at White river near
Decker They were: Conductor Seares,
Fireman BOleman, William H. Lang,
of Fort Wayne, Herbert Allen, of Ev-
ansville, n Dr.. William Efling, Of
Chicago. DR.. Efing left home on that
train for Winter Haven, Fla, and has
never been heard from.
The where the wreck occur
red is now 500 feet and increasing ev-
cry hour A force of $50 men is at work,
but the road bed is being steadily
swept away.
The rise in the Wabash river contin-
ues and the water is within eighteen
inches of the rails on the Louisville
and Nashville bridge between Wa
bash, Ind, and Hawthorne, Ills. Farm
houses, trees, drift wood and arcasse
are lodged against the piers, but the
officials say this pressure will not en-
danger the structure. All trains are de-
layed. Black river is rising and back
water e Grayvills, Ills, is causing
considerable trouble to Decatur and
Evansville trains. Efforts were made
today to the bodies of those
under the wreck, but they were not
successful.

Sweating Gold Coins.

The sweating" Of gold coin is rather
IN unknown industry at the east, but
on the Pacific coast, where gold pieces
form the universal currency, it is CON-
mon enough. 1t was introduced there
by the Chinese, who are adopts in the
art of levying infinitesmal tribute on
gold coinage. The United States Off
Gals in Oakland, Cal. ave just I'M
earthed a gang of "coin-sweaters."
The officers making the arrest thus de-
scribe the process which they saw going
On: They would put the coins in a
solution of various acids, including
Sulphuric and nitric acids, and, after
they were allowed to cook for a while,
they were taken out and the residue
was boiled own until the metal was
left in the bottom. After the men had
cooked several patches, they would
melt the whole up into a button and
sell it at some p~awnshop." The nitric
acid bath is by no means a new method
of shaving coin, but it is a SLOW one,
and almost undetectable, except the
treated coin is put upon the scales,
when its short weight is at once re-
vealed. The first method of sweating
introduced by the Chinese was rubbing
large gold coins Upon leather straps,
but this smoothed down the coins so
much hat the work of the sweaters
was easily distinguishable. But it was
profitable, and the secret service agents
had a good deal of trouble in breaking
up the Observation-Disclosures Post.

Suspension of Hiring Out Convicts.

Michigan City, Ind, March 12.-War-
den Harley, of h Indiana state pris-
on, yesterday ordered the instant sus-
pension by every convict G.ired by a
binding contract. The order was un-
expected by the contractors, and one
of the firms will lose the labor of near
ly 200 men. This sudden action was due
to the discovery that an emergency
clause was added to a bill passed by
the general assembly abolishing con-
tract labor and the bill thus became A
law as soon as Governor Mount signed
it. The result is that zoo men are lock-
ed in their cells with no means of en-
ployment. The new law provides that
contract work shall, ne abolished as
fast as existing contracts expire and
by the end of the year more thar 800
men will be idle. 1t was intended that
convicts should be employed in max
ing goods for other state institutions,
but no appropriation was made for
buying material to put the plant in
operation.

A U
A Conspiracy to Corrupt Justice inla Suit
Against a Railroad COmpany-Other De-
velOpments Expected.

Montgomery, Ala, March ia sensa-
ton developed in court at Gadsden today.
The case of Danforth & Armstrong
against the Tennessee and Coosa railroad
for money due on contract, $3.50, 900, has
been in court several years and has been
tried and carried to the supreme court
four times. Each time the verdict has
crept up. At the last trial one of the
county commissioners was sent to Jail
and fined for soliciting a big verdict for
the plaintiffs. Totay, the railroad at
tOrneyS moved a dismiss the case, a1leg-
ing "a conspiracy between the plaintiffs
and DR.. Baker. In uppOr Of their mo-
ton, they introduced t~wenty-nine letters
and copy of the contract between the
plaintiffs and DIR. Baker. In this contract
it was stipulated that Baker and asso-
ciates should use their influence with the
juries and courts for a big verdict, he to
receive a per centage of the amount re-
ceived. One of DanfOrth's letters says he
has been furnished by Baker with lists
of jurors since 1894, with names marked
to challenge. He suggested a certain
member of the supreme court as the man
to approach. 1t is the general impression
that there is a conspiracy in the town to
corrupt justice in other cases. An official
investigation will be made and other SEN
SatiOnS may follow.
