COLORADO RAILROAD FIGHT.
A Collision Occurs Between ContendinS
Forces.

Cripple Creek, Oct. 5.-The right-ot-
way troubles between the Florence and
Cripple Creek and Midland railroads
eliminated today in a collision between
the contending forces. Superintendent
Ridgeway and Chief Engineer Stuart
had charge Of the formers forces and
Superintendent Waters had charge Of
the Midland Terminal. Waters had 800
men under him laying rails over the
disputed territory already covered by
the lines OF the Florence and Cripple
Crek. Superintendent Ridegway had
his rolling stock which he had backed
into opposition to those who were lay
ing nails across his company's tracks.
Exciting occurrences took place at tho
Strong mine, which played such an i'm
portant part in the strike q few years
ago when u section Of the Midland Ter
minal had been lowered into place.
Stuar. signalled one OF his engineers to
back the F. and C. c. train down the
siding where the others were at work.
The engineer started to back down the
siding, but the other began to throw
ties and rocks on the track blocking the
Of the train. In obedience to the
signals OF Stuart the engineer continued
run backward and finally hurled the
train over the distractions and into a
number OF empty freight cars, which
stood on the siding. There was a splin-
tering OF wood work and a crash Of iron
as the cars came together and half q
dozen were derailed and the smashed
trucks being piled on the rocks and the
boxes thrown across the newly con.
structed track.
In the melee that followed Chief En-
g,neer Stuart drew a gun and fired into
the crowd. He evafed the rush and was
soon afterward arrested for an attemp,
to kill. and Superintendent Ridegway
was held as accessory. A special train
from Colorado Springs with an injunc-
ton, arriving at 6 O'Clock, prevented
further trouble.

H WHITE METAL.
British Concessions Are Being Freely
Discussed.

New York, Oct. "a special cable
says:
There is increasing interest in the
city and some concern as to the prob
able nature OF Sir Michael Hicks
Beaoh's coming reply to the United
States bimetallic commission as to the
use Of silver. Some persons go so far
as to assert that, subject to certain con.
litions, three points may be conceded,
namely, the reopening of the Indian
minis. holding one-ifth silver in tho
bank Of England reserve and raising the
legal tender of silver from two pounds
10 five pounds. Such assertions may
be premature and ever incorrect, but
they come from too good quarters to be
wholly ignored. Bar gold was bought
in small amounts in the chief markets
here today and the general belief is that
it is destined for America. Opinions
here differ widely as to whether the
eagles will go to New York from the
bank OF England, but unless the stock
markets take an extraordinary turn the
best opinions look for shipments soon.
