entirely. but God brought me out of the
storm of shot and shell. I prayed be-
fore I went into a fight and I thank God
that he was with me and kept me safe
from harm. Some call it luck but it
was no such thing; it was mercy.
1T was a three days fight before we
took this place and we had to fight eve
ry mile of the way. We were at a
great disadvantage in charging the
Spaniards who were behind entrench-
ments and in large stone and block
houses. If we had the same position
that they had they never would have
gotten US out. 1t was a case of pure
American pluck that so startled the
Spaniards that they had to give way at
last and retreat slowly, cOnteSting eV-

The coroner's jury brought in a YER
dict of poisoning with suicidal intent
1t was at first thought that there
were grounds for the detention of
Robert Evans and Sid Pickens on the
charge of murder. The bruises on the
head and arms looked as if they might
have been serious. Accordingly Deputy
County Attorney Galen Nichols con-
Quoted the examination of witnesses in

foul play, the verdict of suicide was
given.
The suicide was the tragic ending of
a blighted life which was once full of
promise: in spite of their unhappy life,
robert Evans loved his wife, and his
grief is pitiful to witness.

GUESTS OF FRANCE.
Peace Commissioners Will Be Enter
tanned in Lavish Manner.

Washington, Aug. 23.-In view of the
early meeting at Paris of the Spanish
American peace commissioners, arrange
ments are already under way for the
tertainment of this distinguished body.
1t is understood that the commission will
be the guests of the French government,
and while formal invitation has yet
been extended, there is reason to believe
one will come in due time and that the
commissioners will receive every courtesy
and attention the French government can
bestow.
The meetings of the commission will be
held at the French foreign office in the
sumptuous and historic Salon des Am
bassadores. 1t was there that the fam
Gus congress of Paris met in 1856. The
salon is probably the most elegant official
apartment in all Europe, being hung with
gObelin tapestries and decorated with
lavish frescoes and works Of art Near
the salon are private chambers, suitable
for committee rooms and for the meet
ings of the commissioners of the respect
i've governments.
The several commissioners will choose
their own private quarters, although Sec
retary Day may be the guest of the Unit
ed States embassy. The president hopes
to be able to announce the names of the
commissioners on the part of the United
States this week.

We're ExcaVating a Tunnel At
Night.
When One of the Walls Fell
Over On Them.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 23.-Eight men
were killed, possibly ten, and five more
injured, two fatally, at the Carnegie
tunnel on the CHARTERS division Of the
ran Handle railway last night. The
accident was due to the wall of the
tunnel caVing in on a number of work
men. The dead are:
JOHN JONES, foreman, married and
lived at Ashton, Va.
FELIX MILLS, Iaborer, married,
lived at Glendale Pa
SIX UNKNOWN, all foreigners.
Five men were injured. One of these,
a negro, name unknown, was taken to
the West Pennsylvania hospital in a
dying condition. One of the Others is
also expected to die. The men were
part of a gang of 68 employed by Cas-
per Paris, contractor from Columbus,
Ohio. They were engaged in tearing
out the tunnel on the CHARTERS Valley
branch of the Pan Handle railroad, just
west of the town of Carnegie.
The work is being done entirely at
night, in order not to interfere with
traffic during the day. 1t has pro-
greSsed for about a month without ac-
cident, and was nearing completion.
Last night the gang of wOrkmen were
engaged in loading the train, used in
h~uling out the dirt from the tunnel.
blast had been set off about an hour
before.
The men were preparing to pull down
the west wall of the tunnel and had
fixed a road for this purpose and were
preparing to drill some holes in it
for blasting. Suddenly the wall fell
over on them. Every man standing at
that end of the big excavation was
buried alive.
Without an instant's hesitation the
other Workmen at once began the work
of rescue
Felix Mills was one of the first taken
out He was still living and was sent
to his home in Glendale. He died there
about three hours later.
The unknown cOlored man was next
reached. A special train brought him
to the West Pennsylvania hospital at
once, but it was not thought he will
live. The bodies were recovered rapidly
after that.
Seven men were taken out dead, the
others are yet unaccounted for and are
supposed to be under a great pile of
rock at the eastern end of the tunnel
Most of the men employed on the
work are Italians. They go by num-
bers instead of names, and nothing is
known of their family relations. Their
fellow workmen were TOO busy this
morning seeking for more dead, to
identify any of the bodies.
The dead were taken to the Carnegie
morgue and prepared for burial
