FOUR MEN KILLED.
Fatal Collision Between = Hand Car and
Engine Near Gillett.

Fatal C0llisiOn Between . Hand Car and
Engine Near Giliett.
Denver, May pa special to the Re-
publican from Cripple Creek says:
An awful fatality occurred this
morning about mile and a half north
of Gillett on the Terminal road, in
which four men lost their lives. The
scene Of the accident was the second
trestle bridge out of Gillett, No. 13A,
structure crossing deep, rocky gulch
fully 10 feet deep.
An extra section gang numbering
twelve men, started out from Gillett
about 7:3O o'clock on hand car in
charge Of Bob Cunningham. They
were in advance of passenger train No.
2, which arrives ut Gillett about q
o'clock.
AS the hand car reached the middle
Of the trestle, the train, In charge Of
Engineer Owen Kerns, dashed sudden
ly on them, running rapidly on a
heavy down grade. Four Of the fright
ened section men Immediately jumped
and were dashed to death on the rocks
below, where their mangled and
bruised bodies were found later, man.
gled almost beyond recognition. The
dead are:
Ben Ebberley, married; leaves
wire ana family.
William Finn.
Edward Finn.
James Hannahan.
All these men, with the exception of
Ebberley, are unknown in Gillett.
8. B. Keele, car repairer, stood on
the car and as the engine approached
jumped to the cOwcatcher, sustaining n
slight cut about the head, but other
wise escaping uninjured.
The remainder of the men, including
the foreman, stayed by the car and es-
capped uninjured, returning to Gillett
with the special car sent out to bring
in the dead bodies. No. 2 was running
on time, therefore no blame can be at
tached to either Its conductor or crew.
The foreman of the section gang GER
tainly knew that the train was due,
although 1t Is possible that owing to
the morning train which runs up from
Divide, and the engine from which is
generally used on No. 9, being late, he
supposed that No. 2 would be delayed
Instead of that, No. started on time
with n new engine, the Il. s. Brown. 1t
was probably owing to the fact that
this new engine was drawing the train
that the remaining eight men were
saved from death, as the engineer
stopped the train within five rails al
though 1t was running at n high rate
Of speed. The engine struck the hand
car softly and pushed 1t over the trestle
safely.

CUT IN EXPENSES.
| County Auditor Shows Reduction of
5000 from Last Year.

The report of the county auditor,
Mr.. w. E. Pagan, for the year ending
June 90, 1898, has been filed with the
county clerk.
The report shows that the expenses
of the county for the year past were
$50, 074.02. This is against $87, 1870 the
previous year and Sis, 112.14 the year
ending June 80 1896. The expenses the
past year exceeded the levy by but
$9S6.49.
The expenses of the probate couxe
were much greater the past year than
any previous year in the history of the
county. They amounted to SO, 1902. 13.
Mr.. Pagan states that the increase was
due in part to the new fee and salary
law which increases the pay of jurors.
but was due principally to the great
number of insane cases tried in the
court and the large number of appli-
cations for the admittance of minor
children to the reform school. During
the year there were 20 insane cases
tried and % applications for admittance
to the reform school.
AS an instance of the cost of insane
cases. Mr.. Pagan cites the case of
Frank Brown, the young attorney, VINO
was tried for insanity not long ago. The
trial cost the county $205.S0.
The expenses of the district court
show a decrease of $1015.9S compared
with the expenses the previous year.
They amounted to $11,475.49. Mr.. Pagan
takes occasion to praise Judge Hazen,
stating that during the years he has
held the office OF judge of the district
court there has been a steady falling off
in the expenses of the court.
Mr. Pagan also takes the opportunity
of praising County Attorney Jetmore
for a material decrease in the expenses
of the justice courts during the year
Just past The change in the new fee
bill has helped to bring about this
state of affairs says Mr.. Pagan in his
report, but by far the greatest factor
in reaching this very desirable end has
been the policy of the present county
attorney in insisting that petty mis-
demeanors be tried in the police court,
where they properly belong, instead of
in the justice courts
The expenses of the Justice courts
amounted to 81, 114O7, a decrease of So
1881 compared to the previous year.
The report shows that the county
paid out for the burial of old soldiers
81. 200 SO, an increase of $SS6.ZS. There
were So funerals.
Mr. Pagan recommends a levy of 5
mills to meet the expenses of the year
now entered on, submitting the follow
ing report of valuation:
Real estate d Lands sa2 $3,16a AZ real real
erty. 81 .OS5; railroad property, ST.

TELEPHONE ASSESSMENT.
It Seems Likely to Be All Done over
Again.

Since the State Journal brought to light
the fact that the state board of railway
assessors had made an 50 per cent reduc-
tion on the valuation of the telephone
plant in Topeka there has been a great
deal of agitation at the state house
According to the members of the board
the ridiculously low valuation of the To-
peka plant was the result of misplaced
confidence and they are ready TO make
any change that is equitable.
The probability is that the whole tele-
phone assessment viii be overturned. for
Assistant Attorney General Smelling saws
that 1t was not made legally. According
10 MI Smelling the board of railway as
SCISSORS had no business to assess the per-
sonal property OF the plant. Neither have
they any authority TO assess real estate
belonging TO the telephone company. That
must be done by the local assessors.
II the assessment is declared off it will
be necessary for the local assessors to as
sess he personal property of the plant.
Including the telephone Instruments. and
The board of railway assessors then have
the right TO assess the miles of wire and
poles in use.

WHAT RUSSIA WANTS.
Desires That the Philippines Shall be
Kept Intact

st. Petersburg, July 12.-Discussing
the events Of The war between Spain
and the United States which it regards
as practically over. the Novoe Nremya
observes that the political situation
largely depends upon the attitude of
Russia Tt adds:
with respect to the Philippine is
lands, the d1le has arrived to clearly
state Russia's policy"
Continuing the paper adds: Prussia
has no positive interests in the Philip
pine islands. If they are divided, the
best parts VIII fall to Germany, Great
Britain and Japan, thereby strengthen
ing them in the Pacific. Therefore. it
is to Russia's advantage chat the Phil
lppine islands remain in the possession
of single power whether Spain or the
United States and Russia would prefer
to see the islands in the possession of
Spain and under the protection of the
United States, who would keep out other
claimants
by working in this direction, Russia
would not only uphold her own inter-
ests. but would serve the cause Of gen
eral peace
