sTRAUB MUST HANG.
Governor Rogers win Not Camply with
recommendations for Commute
ffnn

An Olympia dispatch to the Post-In-
telligencer under date of April 10th,
says: "Gov. Rogers has refused to COM
mute the death sentence in the cases OF
K. IL. Straub, of San Juan county, and
William Carey, of King county, as ask
ed for by the board of pardons, giving
as his reason that the pardoning power
is given to the executive only in cases
when there is miscarriage of Justice.
After carefully considering the matter
the governor decides that the response
bllity rests with the county judge and
the prosecuting attorney, and not with
himself. If either of these officials
would ask in writing for a commuta-
ton of the death sentence in either or
both cases, it would be granted; other
wise the sheriff must do his duty"
Judge Winn, who presided at the
trial OF Straub in this county, was in
terviewed at Whatcom, Monday, and
stated that he would not join in the re-
quest for communication, for the reason
that he felt that Straub had been given
thoroughly fair and impartial trial
and that his conviction and sentence
were just under the law; and as Judge
Ihacker, who was the prosecuting at
tOrney at the time of the trial and rep
resented the state i'll the prosecution,
holds the same view, there seems to be
no likelihood that the condemned man
can escape the extreme penalty of the
law. April 23rd is the date set for the
execution.

THE TRAIN is CONSUMED BY FIRE.
Miraculous Escape Of All Passengsrs-NO
One Killed or Injured-The
Story.

Louisville, KY, NoY. ia passen-
ger train on the Louisville, Hender-
soE 6 st. St -LeGisxoad, that left st.
Louis last evening, and that was due
in this city at z 80 this morning, was
derailed and entirely consumed by
fire at 4 this morning, near Lewisport,
KY, ninety-six miles from Louisville.
No lives were lost, and, so far as is
known, no one was seriously injured.
The accident is attributed to freak
high wind last night, which over
turned a box-car standing on the
Lewisport siding, The car fell direct
ly across the main track and near a
sharp curve on the road. 1t was not
seen by the engineer of the passenger
train until it was too late to stop the
engine, and the train crashed into the
obstruction, overturning the engine
and tender and the combination car.
A stove in the combination car set fire
to the paper and other inflammable
material around it, and before the
trainmen could remove the cars, other
coaches caught, the sleeper and day
coach being totally destroyed.
Passengers had plenty of time to es-
cape, and Traffic Manager Hill, who
was on the ill-fated train, wires that
aside from few bruises, no one was
injured. The loss is heavy.

ud Now Complete The Market Building AS Resolved Last Night

seen recently at Chattanooga. 1t is
understood that Mrs, Charlie Bailey
has recently withdrawn her claim for
the insurance money"
Last nights Constitution has a sim
liar story of the affair, with the added
information that Mrs. Bailey has
written to the insurance ompauies
that she has actual proofs of the fact
that her husband is alive.
Bailey had $4,000 insurance with the
Equitable and $4,000 with the New
York Life. The insurance people do
not charge that the disappearance of
Bailey was for the purpose of defraud-
ing them, but say he must have had
some other motive for getting out of
the way.
The Constitution is, however, badly
wrong in asserting that the Bruins
wick newspapers criticised the insur-
ance companies for not paying the
insurance. The TIMES insisted from
the first that the proofs of death were
very shaky, and that there was grave
doubt of the assertion that the man
was dead.
