MONEY on A Special TRAIN.
Novel Measures Taken to Prepare for a
Run on The first National Bank
of Cripple Creek.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Jan B.
The attempt 10 make run on the First
National Bank of Cripple Creek yesterday
was checked by quick action and in a
novel way A rumor had been started De-
Gem Der g. or perhaps some days previous,
that the bank could not stand the with
drawaI of good deal of money, and in
consequence the bank would not open the
day after the new year.
This report came to Presid ent Parker of
the bank and on New Years day he came
to this city and arranged to get money to
take TO Cripple Greek. He made these ar
rangements with the FIRST National Bank
of this city and they had their time locks
so arranged that they could be opened at
O'Clock in the morning. Cashier Sutton
was on hand at that hour and got the
money out for them. but how much money
was taken he refused to state. In half an
hour a special train consisting of an engine
and one coach was waiting in the Teiuan
station of the Colorado Central Railroad
and President Parker and Vice-President
Devereaux were taken on board.
They left here al 7:30 o'clock promptly
and made the fastest run ever made by
getting into Cripple Geek in two hours
and three min utes. The run from Divide
to Cripple Creek over the Terminal. thirty
miles of per cent grade. was made in 54
minutes, and the delivery of the currency
occurred in the midst of the run.
The First NatlonalI Bank of Cripple
creek In its last statement showed over 54
per cent'of its deposits on hand, and there
was no occasion whatever for any attempt
10 make run on the bank

POOLING THEIR ISSUES.
Efforts of the Zig Steel MdnMfdofurers
to Continue the Combine.

Efforts of the Zig Steel MdnMfdcfurers
to Continue the Combine.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 3.-There is
reason to believe that report will be
submitted early next week by the special
committee appointed at the recent meet
ing of the American Bessemer Steel Asso-
citation, held in this city. to see what could
be done toward smoothing over the seri-
Gus differences of opinion among some of
the big steel manufacturers. Dispatches
from the West intimate that arrangements
have practically been made for continu-
alton of the combination, the dissolution
of which was threatened by the with
drawal of the Bellaire Steel Company of
Ohio.
The Carnegie, Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Illinois Steel Companies were con.
sp:cuousy interested in the recent meet
ing, and it is believed that through their
efforts a harmonious arrangement has
been made with the Bellaire Steel Com
pany. Some important developments are
expected at the meeting which has been
called for next week by Secretary Griscom.
Whether the meeting will be held in this
city or in Pittsburg, has not been made
public.
Even though the breach in the ranks of
the American Bessemer Steel Association
be closed up, it is not considered likely
that any attempt to advance the price of
steel billets will be made. The present
condition of the steel market is not favor
able to high prices and the existing price
of SIT per ton for steel billets is about all
that the market will stand. The makers
of steel rails are putting down their prices
in order to get orders.

BUSINESS or THE SENATE.
There Is Said to Be Opposition to tn.
Cameron Resolution.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3.-When
the Senate meets Tuesday morning it IS
quite likely that the debate on matters per-
tanning to our foreign relations, and the
position assumed by Secretary Olney for
the Executive, will at once begin to take
shape. Whether Cameron will call up the
CUBAN resolution on the opening day of
the session is not yet known, for that Sen
ator has not yet returned to the city and
the subject is entirely in his hands. 1t is
hardly thought that he will seek to force
| the issue on the opening day, owing to the
fact that there is not likely to be quorum
of the Senate present.
During the morning hour, however
| under any guise that NAV be put forward,
the debate on the subject can be COM
| menced, but it must give way to the un-
finished business at o'clock, unless there
are sufficient votes to displace the Okla
homa free homestead bill with the more
pressing question of Cuba. The home
stead bill, which is championed by Petit
grew, is not to have smooth sailing. A
strong minority report By Platt is to be
| presented, and that Senator will lead the
opposition to the measure on the floor OF
| the Senate.
Hale, who is looked upon as the leader
of the anti Cuban recognition IN the SEN
ate, said yesterday that several Senators
who had been heretofore silent on the SUBJ
| ject had come out against the Cameron
resolution, and there was not possible
chance for its passage.
| On the OF er hand Cameron, Lodge,
| Chandler, Morgan and Mills assert that
the sentiment favoring action by Congress
is becoming more vigorous and that the
| fighting will be forced from the start.
Hale, who in the absence OF Allison is act
| ing as chairman OF the Committee on Ap-
| propriations, expects to have the army
bill reported to the Senate Wednesday,
and this will be put forward to antagonize
| the Cuban proposition.
Two speeches are booked for the coming
week-one by PETER, probably Wednes-
day, on his resolution for the appoint
ment of delegates TO National none
tary conference and another by Proctor on
the JOINT resolutions providing for the
election of the President and Vice-Presi-
dent and Senators by popular vote.

Seeks to Recorer Pay Withhold as a Re
sMlt of u Court NdrtioL.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3.-The
claim of Brigadier- General D. G. Swain,
retired. formerly Judge Advocate General
of the Army, for the amount of his pay
with held under the execution of the find
ing of court martial will come before
the Supreme Court of the United States
this week for argument. he having az.
pealed from the decree of the court of
claims, which rejected his suit. General
Swain was tried by a court martial on
charges preferred by Major R. N. Scott
acting under orders from the Secretary of
War. and found guilty OF conduct unbe-
coming gentleman and an officer. and
sentenced to be suspended from rank and
duty for twelve years. and to forfeit half
bis pay for each month of that period
He sued to recover the sums so withheld
on the ground that e court-m artial
which tried him was illegally constituted; :;
that the charges against him were not
properly preferred, and that the facts
proved cons sGtuted no offense.
General Swain has filed lengthy brief
in support of his appeal, but The Govern
ment law officers have not yet advised the
court of their intentions in the matter.

CHICAGO FLOODED.
Setrers Choked and Much Damage Re

Setcers Choked and Much Damage Re-
sults Ia the Suburbs.
CHICAGO. ILL, Jan. 3.-The rain
storm which has prevailed over Chicago
and Northern Illinois uninterruptedly for
three days has been the severest expe-
rienced in this locality for two years. The
observations taken at the Weather Bureau
in this city tonight showed that the rain
fall was TWO and one-half inches since the
beginning of the storm early New Year S
morning. The temperature fell 20 de-
grees in this city during the last eight
hours and at IL o'clock tonight the rain
turned to snow. 1t is not expected by the
Weather Bureau that the thermometer
will reach the zero mark, although they
predict temperature considerably below
freezing before tomorrow evening.
In Chicago great damage was done by
the downpour of rain. especially in the
suburbs, where the sewers were insuffi-
cient to carry away the volume of water.
Reports OF flooded easements from the
southern and western portions of the city
were numerous, while at Grand Crossing
and nearby suburbs the streets were in
undated and the damage heavy. In low
places it is impossible for pedestrians to
move without wading in deep water and
boats were brought into use.
At Austin and Oak Park, on the west
side, the conditions are annoying. Base
ments are flooded with several feet oi
water and furnace fires in many localities
are extinguished. The pumping works
at Bridgeport are being operated with
great difficulty. It was thought at one
time this evening that the pumps would
have to be shut down on account of the
rapidly accum iating water, but the food
gates were resorted to and the water shot
on its journey down the canal. The rain
continued steadily all day and at times
the precipitation was in the nature OF a
cloudburst. The downtown streets were
deserted and the continuous shows and
other resorts lacked many patrons.
The concrete sidewalk surrounding the
Lincoln Bank at Michigan and CLARK
streets collapsed during the afternoon as
the result of the rain. g. B. Roser, bar
Der OF Ravenswood, was the only person
in 'front.' of the building at the time. He
was precipitated to the basement. dis
tance of several feet but rescued from his
impromptu bath uniniured. A fence was
hastily erected about the opening. A
mum ber of cedar block pavements in va
rious parts of the city were also more OF
less damaged by the water. In many in
stances the blocks have been foated out
of position by tue water and the street
lett in an impossible condition. Nearly
all the large catch basins along West
Madison street, Michigan avenue, Wells
street and North avenue were stopped uI
and as result large ponds of water filled
the sides OF the streets. Many Easements
were flooded along West Madison street
and much damage was done to the occu.

BLACK HILLS MINING DEAL.
Eastern Capitalists Buy Many Rich Claims
and VIM Operate Them on an
Erfensjve ScgIe

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 3-Sixteen
hundred acres of gold mines, embracing
$50 claims in the richest part of the Black
Hills have been transferred to a new
mining and smelling company in which
prominent New Workers and Philadel-
phians are interested.
The corporation, under the title of the
Edgemont and Union Hill Smelling Com
pany, came into legal existence early last
night at its general office in the Corpora
ton Trust Company building, in Jersey
City, by executing its articles of incor-
poration and electing board of directors,
VIII .ch Immediately selected the officers of
the corporation. When this had been
done the deeds to the property, which
were previously executed. were formally
delivered and conveyed the mining claims
to the corporation.
r. E. Pattison, former Governor OF
Pennsylvania, was elected president OF
the company; ]. T. Searles of New York,
vice president; J. Wesley Suppler, presi-
dent of the Corn Exchange National Bank
of Philadelphia, treasurer; Thomas Brad
ley OF Philadelphia, secretary. These
men are in the directory, together with
Masten, William X. Kurtz of New York
and g. A Fletcher, Joseph F. Crater, w.
w Frazier. Philip S. Horty, David Jonas,
G. S. Middleton and Francis c. Cradle of
Philadelphia. The capital stock of the
corporation is So, 500, 900, and is owned en-
tirely by the men named.
The cluims now owned by the company
are in the Bear Buttes mining district,
near the new town of Union Hill, about
six miles from Deadwood and eight miles
fir ON the famous Homestake nine.
Arrangements have been made for the
beginning of mining operations on a large
scale at once. Three hundred miners are
already on the ground, a smelter to cost
$500, 600 has been ordered at Edgemont and
the large smelter now at Galena-a few
miles dstant-has been contracted for.
Besides this, a contract has been made for
the construction of 400-ton stamp mill at
Union Hill, on the grounds of the COM
pany.
For the lighting of the company's town
of Union Hill, On electric plant is now
being put in which will also furnish power
for running the drills in the mines and ior
operating railway for the transportation
of ore. This road is now located and will
be completed before spring and form q
connection with the Burlington system.
All that was waited for before putting the
arrangements into active operation was
telegraphic notification OF the actual cor
pOratiOn.

FOG HOLDS CARNITAL.
Not Tesset Coming Into or Leaving
NetU York.


QUARANTINE, S. l.. Jan. 3.-During
the past twenty-four hours the waters of
the upper and lower bay have been envel-
oped in dense fog. At 8 P. NJ. off Quaran-
tine this dense fog still prevailed, with lit
tie prospect of clearing weather Not a
single vessel had passed in or out of the
Narrows since sunrise this morning. Sew
eral steamers due to arrive in port to-day
are no doubt detained outeide the Sandy
Hook bar and Scotland lightship owing to
the bad weather.
The Wilson liner Hindoo which was in
collision with the Crom we'll line steamer
Creole in the lower bay last evening, re-
turned in the Jog and anchored off Clifton,
S. /. Her commander, Captain Douglass,
reports that The Hindoo is leaking in the
forepeak, some of her bow plates are
cracked and as the damage is under water
its exact nature cannot be ascertained un-
til she reaches her dock. Nothing further
has been heard from the Creole since the
collision occurred. She is probably an
chored in the lower bay.

STRANGE CELESTIAL PHENOMENON.
Earth the Appearance of Being
on Fire

NEW ORLEANS. La, Jan. 3.-An ex-
traordinary celestial phenomenon was
visible here about o'clock this morning.
Thick, heavy clouds were rolling and sud-
denly the sky was overcast with peculiar
pinkness ana the rays reflected gave the
earth the appearance of being on fire. The
remarkable display lasted perhaps ten
minutes, but it was startling during Its
brief existence.
The Weather Bureau explains that it
was the suns rays reflected through a
certain cloud. 1t was followed by heavy
gale along the lake front. Persons resid-
ing at West End declare that in eleven
years they have not Witnessed such a
storm. The people there were much
frightened. The waters OF Lake Ponchar-
train were driven and overlooked Spanish
Fort, and all the roads leading from the
city to the lake, in some places reaching a
depth of three feet. Nothing has been
heard from Vaudeville ana places on the
other side of the lake.

HOLDEN, MO-, Jan. 3.-To-day freight
train on the Missouri Pacific Railway ran
into landslide near this place. The To-
comotive toppled over an embankment
and three of the crew were almost in
stantly killed.
The dead are: Conner Evans, engineer,
married. Harry Hukop, fireman, married !;
J. E. Mcqueen, brakeman, unmarried.
The men lived in St. Louis. Two other
mem bers of the crew were slightly injured.
The recent heavy rains caused large
mass of earth to slide down upon the
track, and the train crashed into the OBJ
structIon while running at high rate OF
speed, derailing the engine and dozen
cars. Wrecking trains were sent from
Sedalia and Jefferson City, and the tracks
were cleared.
