Illinois Mine strikers Resumfng.

ST. Louis. Sept 24.-The coal miners
OF Belltville, Ills. and vicinity yester-
day declared off the strike, so far as it
affects owners who are willing to pay
the scale. About half of the mines in
st. Clair county have resumed, or are
preparing to do so, at the 81 cent rate.
Most of the others are expected to soon
come into line. The Consolidated COM
papy will be the last to surrender and
IL long, bitter fight on their part is eX-
pected. 1t is probable that the COM
pany will undertake to import miners.

officials have notified their agents thai

COLORADO WRECK.
FREIGHT TRAIN ON THE D. & r. G.
PLUNGES INTO A PASSEN-
GER COACH.
Thirty-six of the Seventy Occupants OF
the Car Were Injured-They Were
Members Of the Steel Gang Which
Has Been Working Along the
Neutrality-suspicious. Escapes.

AT $50 o'clock asst evening a special
southbound freight train on the Denver
& Rio Grande road plunged into a u n
away passenger coach two miles this
side of Castle Rock, Colo, injuring SO
Of the 70 occupants of the cal. The car
was almost completely wrecked, the en-
CINE Of the special freight ploughing
its way fully fifteen feet into it. OF
the SO men injured. none were fatally
hurt. About half a dozen sustained
broken bones. the remainder escaping
with bruises and lacerated flesh.
The occupants of the car were the
steel gang that has been located at
Castle Rock for the past week relaying
rails and making general repairs along
the line. The car they were seated in
was a chair car, used by the road to
transport the men from place to place.
The engine of the special freight
which ran into the car was not badly
injured. The engineer and fireman saw
the car coming down the grade towards
them, and jumped in time to escape be-
ing injured when the collision occurred.
The head brakeman of the freight was
unable to get of quick enough, and
sustained a few bruises.
The most seriously injured men were
taken to Salida, where half a dozen
physicians set their fractured bones and
bound up their cuts and decorations.
Those that were not badly injured
caught the nortbound train No. 4 and
ven to their respective homes in the
small towns between here and Castle
Rock. Seven Of the slightly injured
reside in Denver at Murphy's boarding
house at 271S West Twenty-ffth avenue
They arrived here at 11:45 o'clock last
night.
The accident was a peculiar one.
That half the men in the car were not
killed outright was one Of those mir
acuious escapes that often falls to the
lot Of a railroad man. When the crash
came. the runaway car was not going
less than IS miles An hour down q
gentle incline, increasing it's momen-

freight was not going very fast, as It

MASSACRE IS JUSTIFIED.
Colorado Commission Stand BY the
Game Wardens.

Denver, Dec. 19.-Messrs. D. C. Bea-
man, Josiah Walbridge and Charles E.
Noble. the commission appointed by
Gov. Adams to investigate the recent
Indian troubles in the vicinity of Lily
park, filed their report with the COVER.
nor yesterday afternoon. The report
is an almost complete v%indication Of
the game wardens, and shows that the
Indians were alone responsible for the
bloody conflict in Routk county last
month in which several Of their mum.
Der were killed.
The finding Of the commission il that
the Indians were the asgressors. The
Indians, who had been shughterng
game Womiscuously. according to the
testimony. for several weeks, heard
that the wardens had been looking for
them. and then dropped their game and
started after the wardena They told
the settlers that they wanted to fight
the ~"buckskin police"
Tho report says In substance that had
not Warden Wilcox and his deputies a..
sembled at Thomson's ranch during the
night previous to the tight and
dropped down in the camp the next
day before the Indians were aware Of
their presence, the wardens would have
met with dGsaster ct the hands Of the
Utes. and the story Of the conflict would
have been that whites. instead Of In
dams. had been killed.
Warden Wilcox and the men under
him are commended in the report for
their bravery aud the manner in which
they p~rotected the rights Of the ssttlers
and upheld tie lavs and dignity Of the
state.

MORE PRESIDENCY TALK.

A dispatch from Chicago says the
opinion is gaining ground in railway
and financial circles. says the Tribune,
that neither E. W. Winter nor Horace
G. Burt will be the president Of the I'm
ion Pacific. T he man now mentioned
for the position is Charles Mellen, pres
ident of the Northern Pacific. E. w.
Winter was slated, it was stated, for
the presidency of the Union Pacific, af-
ter Mr.. Clark resigned OF account OF
poor health. Mr.. Winter has also the
qualifications for the position, and for
many years had been the trusted lieu
tenant Of President Hughitt of the
Northwestern, who it is understood,
will be chairman of the directors of the
Union Pacific Mr.. Winter. it is said,
did not feel inclined to take the posi-
ton Tor personal eason
Mr.. Burt's name was then suggested.
but objection. it is said. was raised
to him on account of his being now vice
president and assistant to the president
of the Northwestern. With President
Hughitt as chairman Of the directory,
and Mr.. Burt as president of the Union
Pacific, 1t is argued. it would be looked
upon as IN auxiliary Of the Northwest
ern, and this was not desired. as the
Union Pacific gets some Of its business
from the competitors OF the Northwest
ern For these reasons it Is said, Presi-
dent C. s. Mellen OF the Northern Pa
cific was named as the most available
man for the presidency of the reorgan>
ICED Union Pacific.
Mr.. Mellen is probably better quail
fed for the presidency of the Union Pa
cidc and knows more about IT'S affairs
than any other man except s. H. H.
Clark. From June 1. 1884. until June
1. 1888. he was general purchasing
agent OF the road. He then became its
assistant general manager and from
March 1. 1889. to April. 1892. he wan
general trafic manager.
