New Orleans, La, Sept. 20.-A special

says:
about two hours after the men went
to work in Mine No. of the Bessemer
Land and improvement Company's coal
mine at Belle Ellen, near Blocton, BIB
county, this morning, fire was discovered
far down in the main slope. About loo
men are employed in the mine and an
alarm was at once given. A panic fol-
lowed among the workers and in the lit
tie town of Belle Ellen Hundreds of
men, women and children gathered at
the main entrance of the smoking mine
while rescue parties were at once formed
to relieve the miners. More than fifty
We're gotten out from the various entranc-
es without harm. Others were overcome
by smoke and fell by the wayside. These
the brave searchers found and agged
out while those waiting at the entrance
restored life to their unconscious friends
A scene if widest excitement prevailed
at the mines mouth. Women and chill
dren were screaming and shouting for
help, and fire brigade was at work en-
deayOr:ng to overcome the flames. Five
men who we're working about the slope
beyond where the fire originated could
not be reached and it is regarded as GER
tain that they are dead. The missing are
Herman Kramer and Hubbard Foley,
white; Henry Reeves Frank James and
William Fairfax, colored.
1t is possible that two or three others
may also be in the mine
The fire brigade battled with the flames
all day in vain attempt to reach the en-
tombed men, but at nightfal the fire was
still burning fiercly and efforts were
abandoned.
A telegram from Belle Ellen tonight
says the fire is thought to have originat-
ed from an overheated steam pipe, which
igmted gas in the mine. A careful check
is being made of the list of miners in the
mine where the fire broke out to ascer-
tain, if possible, if the death Est will
exceed five. So far it is not positively
known that any others are missing"

Testimony Thus Far May Be Ruled
Out-The Programme of the Defense.
Chicago. H., Sept 20.--The closing di-
rect evidence of the prosecution in the
Luetgert case will be submitted to-mor-
row morning. If Judge Tuthill rules
out the evidence of Frank Bialk and
Frank Odoroksky, as to the motive of
the alleged murder. States Attorney
Deneen will call Mrs. Johnson Miller
to the stand to tell of threats she heard
and pursuit of Mrs. Luetgert she once
witnessed by the man on trial who was,
Mrs. Miller will say, armed with re-
volver. But the States attorney and
his first assistant, w. H. McEwen, are
of the opinion that Judge Tuthill will
not rule ont the motive evidence. This
will detail Luetgert's relations with
other women, notably, Mary Siemmering,
the servant girl to whose presence in the
household Mrs. Luetgert strongly OBJ
jected. The prosecution will try to es-
tablish the fact that it was a desire to
marry Miss Siemmering, or some one of
the other women with whom he was
infatuated, that led Luetgert to murder
his wife.
DIR. Rudolph Opperheim of West Ham
mond, Illinois, is to be called as an ex-
pert witness for the defense. He has
expressed the opinion that the bones
exhibited by the prosecution were pro-
cured and placed in the vat by enemies
of Luetgert for the purpose of convict
ing him. Half dozen other experts
will also be called, among them DIR.
Sanderson Christison, the expert on
criminology. 1t was also stated to-day
that an effort will be made to prove an
alibi. for Luetgert. The defense will re-
quire two weeks to present the case and
at least week will be consumed in the
argument of counsel.
States Attorney Deneen to-day asked
the county board to appropriate $1,000
more to help him carry on the trial.
Expert witnesses, Mr.. Deneen finds, will
not work for love or glory, and besides,
he claims there are several persons he
desires to bring here from New York
to testify for the State. Just who these
new witnesses are the States attorney
declines to reveal now, his purpose being
TO get the money to pay the expenses.

4 SWEEPING DECISION
ALL STOCK PASSED THROUGH
THE TRUSTS HANDS. H
A VIOLATION OF THE ANTITRUST Law
u S. Judge Foster Enjoins the Commissions
From Doing Business. The News Causes
a Great Deal Of Excitement, and
Case Win be Appealed.

Topeka, Kans., Sept. 20.-United
States District Judge Foster made d
sweeping decision this morning when he
declared the organization known as
the Kansas City Live Stock Association
illegal under the provisions of the anti
trust law.
The exchange is an organization OF
commission men who control the sale
of live stock in Kansas City All stock
which enters the city must pass through
the hands of this organization. Judge
Foster enjoins the commission from do
ing business, and declares it an unlawful
combination. 50
Judge Foster defines the Interstate
law and says: TT is indisputable that
all the live stock shipped to these de-
PENDANTS for sale from States other than.
Kansas or Missouri, after it has enter
ed the current of commerce between the
States, continues and remain subjects
of such commerce until the transporta-
ton is terminated and the property be-
comes part of the general property OF
the State. 1t is also well settled that
while this property is the subject of
Interstate Commerce, no State, muni-
cipal or other power but Congress inn
pose taxes, restrictions or regulations
for the protection of the health, morals
and person of the citizen, and except for
proper charges and regulations for the
use of the local instruments, as aids or
incidents to such commerce. such as
docks, bridges, wharves, elevators, fer
ries, pilotage, ETC." ea
DECISION CAUSES A FURRY.
Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 20.-The news
of the decision rendered by United
States Judge Foster, declaring that the
Kansas City Live Stock Exchange n
violation of the Sherman antitrust law,
caused a great deal excitement at the
stock yard to-day. Just what effect
the decision will have on the methods of
business at the yards in the future is
matter of conjecture.
Some members of the exchange say
the dissolution of the exchange will be
a severe blow to the live stock interests
if the decision stands the test in the
higher courts. They say that thel busi-
ness, as carried ON under the rules of
the exchange has been reduced 10 q
scientific basis and guarantees to every
patron an honest deal. a
President John G. Mccoy said:
1--WE are in the hands of our lawyers
and until we see them we do not know
what action will be taken by the ex-
change In fact we do not know the
full import of the decision and are in
no position to say what We can do"

RANGE OF 1000 YARDS.
A PRIVATE STABBED AT OUTPOST
ihe Chiefs Refused Parley Unless They Sur
rendered Arms British Troops Attacked
by 1000 Tribesmen- Enemy Fired
Continuously From Behind Rocks.

! Simla, Sept.20.-The operations against
the Mahmounds continue to be the center
of interest. The latest dispatches from
Gen. Jeffreys report that he advanced
again on Sunday morning from camp
Mayate, to attack the enemy west of the
valley. The chiefs came for parley, but
We're informed that they could not be
heard until all arms had been surren-
dered
4 remarkable feature is the accuracy
of the enemy's fire. Lieut.. Crawford was
killed at a range of over thousand
yards.
The tribesmen show great courage and
astounding rapidity in moving over the
rocks. General Sir Bindon Blood, who is
moving parallel with General Jeffreys,
and who keeps in photographic communi-
eaton with him, reports that yesterday
the Haddah Mullah, with 1000 follow
ers, debouched to the Nagawain plain,
where Gen Blood was encamped. The
Nullah had fanatical dance, fred few
shots and then retired; but the same night
the camp was attacked, though SO half
heartedly that the enemy was easily re-
pulsed.
The tribesman daringly creep up the ra-
vines around the camp. An English pri-
vate was stabbed only five yards from an
outpost.
BRITISH FORCE ENCLOSED.
Lima, Peru, Sept. 20.-Advices from
Hangu say that 1000 tribesmen on
Thursday last, attacked flying column
of British troops~at Sodda. The fighting
lasted two hours, but the British only
lost two killed and had four men wound
ed =.
The fighting at Sodda began at IL
O'Clock at night in an attempt to push the
pickets, the enemy having collected un-
seen in the Dwarf Palm jungle and
gradually enclosing the British force.
The enemy fired continuously from be-
hind rocks and heaps of stones, the dark
ness enabling them to rush forward,
making use of the many small shelters
around the place, until within twenty
yards of the British. At midnight large
numbers of tribesmen gathered together
for a rush, but courage failed them and
they could be heard abusing each other
for not advancing.
