HIS HURT WAS FATAL
Patrick O'BrieD Died of His Contact
 Win an Ii. 6 D. Engine.

Patrick J. O'Brien, the man hit by an M & P engine late on Thursday night died at the Sisters hospital about 1 o'clock yesterday morning. Though it was thought as late as two o'clock that he would survive his in- juries and his arm had been ampu tated, it became evident soon after that t.me, that he would not. It hap pens that few men who are struck by 3 locomotive recover from wounds that are apparently comparatively slight. That mighty moving mass o1
 metal fatally jars the human system.
 The inquest upon O'Brien was held by Coroner JOhnstone yesterday after noon. It was attended by a multi tude of witnesses, who were on the eX- uursiOn train. The railroad com- pany was represented by Super:nten- dent Porter, and It's attorneys, Kibbey and Edwards. The following facts already related by The Republican, were brought forth:
 About 11:30 o'clock on Thursday night as the special train re- turning from Tempe was entering the railroad yards, a man fell or sprang

NEBRASKA WOMEN EXPLAIN.
Why They Advised Volunteers in the
 Philippines Not to Re-enlist.

Omaha, Neb., June 16.-The ladies
 auxiliary of the Thurston Rifles, gave out a statement today as to the pur- pose of the organization in sending the cable dispatch to the Nebraska vol u1teers in the Philippines dsc.ar;ng that they must not re-enEsI. The women say they sent the message be cause they knew the men on the fning line did not understand the new army bill and that the country would not ba damaged if they did not re-enlist. They also say that their boys were apparently with some purpose placed on the firing line and held there until they were scarcely able to walk and all shoe to pieces. They end by saying:
 'The home intends of the volunteers in the Philippines can ask for and have a right to demand fair treatment for their boys without having their loyalty questioned If the promises of the war department are not speedily fulfilled we shall take steps to appeal to the president for the return of the remnant of the regiment"

STORY or "MuLDOON"
And Globe Scorpion Guilty of a
 Fatal Error

Globe, Ariz, June 16-(Special cor
 respondence of The Repubican)-On
 of the most picturesque characters in Globe is t'Muldoon." He is one of the hangerson about this big copper camp, | fed by the miners who enjoy his funny i stories, and kept in a comfortable
 state of intoxication by the patrons Of the saloons and gambling places.
 Muldoon has not worked since the Silver King mine shut down When the price of silver fell he went down With it; his spirit sank into the depths | Of his soul and he nurses his sorrow With red liquor His excuse for in temperance is not alone in the fate which behsll the white metal. He sometimes tells strangers that the water supplied the camp is abOmi- nable and he cannot dnink it even as

 Spain MuiGoon implOTed h:S patrons of the saloons to take their whisky
 straight, as Uncle Sam needed all the
 water in the world to float his battle
 ships. He has livad in Arizona for
 SC many years that he has come to be-
 lieve that the oceans long ago went
 dry, for he can't rememb-r when it
 last ra ned here.
 Muldoon's distaste for the water in
 Globe has kept him from bathing, and
 he says the last time he took a bath was when hs was caught out in the PinaI mountains in a rainstorm and he was drenched to the skin before he awoke from his slumbsrs upon the ground MuldOo1 sleeps in the corrals about the camp or in the saloons. One day last week he awoke from his nights rest and felt a stinging ssnsa- ton near his right knee. He d:d not remove his Overalls to find the cause of his pain, for he was not sure that he could take them off without :afict- ing more pain; in fact, he was not sure that he could tear them from his limbs at all. Muld0on walked to ] the nearest saloon from the corral ! where he slept and the singing sen | sation increased at every step. He i told the baTkeeper about il. and some- ! Ons suggested that the overalls be ]! amputated and an investigation made. | MuldoOn was placed on crap table l and willing hands took off the overalls l As this interesting operation was l going on one of the participants no ticed the wiggling tail of a scorpion !

 several persons going back found him not wholly unconscious. He soon re-
 yiyed somewhat and was able to tell
 that his name was Patrick J. O'Brien and lived in Tucson; that he was a na- tive of Ireland and had lately been working at a mine north of Phoenix He said he had also been at Jerome lately and had cousin somewhere f1 Arizona. It was further found that ht had been asleep on the freight cal and there were found there a pair or new overalls, a coat Gnd hat wrapped in paper from the Boston store. How he fell from the freight car is a matter of conjecture. He had probably been partially awak- ened by the noise of the engine, and half asleep, plunged to his death.
 The jury found that the railway company was in no way responsible for the accident.

IL was dying, and the men watched it's last kick with wonder depicted on their faces mingled with pitying glances at Null doon. They thought that the poison would soon begin to carry Muldoon to eternity, and whisky was never given him with such willing hands as on that eventful day.

 WHAT PEOPLE SAY 2

Loyal citizen: I notice with pleas ure that one man who has a place of business on West Washington street Is improving his place. That mere fact is not important, but it indicates something else to me Many people here who are prosperous enough to make improvements use their money instead to go to the coast. This man spends his money at home and is the better off fer it.
 
 Harry R. Hamlin of Topeka, Kan: 1 saw something yesterday which was reminder of the growth of your town. little west of Second avenue on Washington street is a row of cot tcnwood stumps. It appears that only few years ago a row of trees stood in a place which will soon be the business center.
 T. W Pemiberton: If capital doesn't invest here as freely as it ought to, it isn't our fault. Many schemes which are now being pre- sented to the capitalists in the east meet an obstacle. These capitalists have invested here before and Oc- casionally a failure has been made In nine cases cut of ten the failure Is dug to the investor himself. He sends a man out here to represent him who knows nothing of lis business, and then the scheme ends in a fascO.

DIRECT FROM PORTO RICO
Thomas L. Davenport Sps akS of inc
 New Dependency

Thomas L. Davenport returned on
 Thursday night from Porto Rico.
 where lV9 has been engaged in the
 government service as a packer. He
 entered the service a little more than
 year ago and accompanied the army
 of invasion to Porto Rico, where he
 remained continuously, except for
 about week when he was engaged in
 taking a ship load of mules to San
 tiago.
 MT. Davenport enlisted as an aparejo
 packer, a sort of private" but wa
 promoted from one gradation to an other until when he resigned he occu-
 pied a sort Of position of major genera" among the packers. He quit the service because there was nothing more to do, though he was still al lowed to draw his salary. But he got tired of lying around a post in Porto Rico in the summer time.
 He left cn his return to the states on the transport Meade, whose bottom fell out when she got about sixty miles out. They set all the pumps to work after seven feet of water was discovered in her hold. When after two hours pumping the water had gained two feet, the captain made a ejaculation that if the water continued to rise at the rate Of foot an hour, the transport would be wholly under water after awhile. He decided to return to Porto Rico. Then there was an active demand for life preservers by people who did not know how to wear thern.I There were sixty Red Cross nurses among the passengers who ran oh of ThnO1 Ixyifb preservers tied to their heads and others with them fastened to their heels. By the time the vessel got back there was so much water in the transport that she grounded on a sand bar at depth Of thirteen feet.
 While MT. Davenport was in Porto Rico he visited many parts of the island, sometimes in his capacity of packer and sometimes on his own hook as a sight-seer or a prospector. He gathered some facts which are net generally known. The predominant natives, he says, are SpaniardS or French-Spaniards. They have pretty much everything in their own hands and will continue in control until the island ceases to be a mere dependency and becomes a territory. When the took possession of the is land all the. commerce was controlled i by these natives. There were a few | small German merchants. Immedi- | ately after the occupation a great | many Americans rushed into San i Juan and Ponce and engaged in busi- i ness. There are none of them there i now. They encountered an obstacle 1 which they could not climb over and )f whose removal there ist no aarly prospect. That was the Spanish ariff, discriminating against American products. While the new merchants ;ould not import merchandise from

cation and did not show the slightest sign of poison. The scorpion lay dead on the table The saloon was crowded all day with persons attracted by the strange experience which came to Muldoon, and men speculated on the cause of the scorpions death. A cigar dealer was among the crowd that gathered. and forcing his way to the table where the scorpion lay he picked it up and packed it off to his store. A short time after this myter;ous action on the part of the cigar dealer there was another crowd pressing to gaze upon a sign in the front window of the cigar mans store which was hung above the scorpion. It read like this:
 This scorpion stung Muldoon, and he is dead"

IRON FACTS.
High as Iron Is, Makers Expect II t9
 Go H gher

Henry Kramer. fOundryman of
 New York, now in the city, says thai
 the men who have to buy iron now to fill contracts made a few weeks aga are in hard luck. Iron of all descrip- tions is holding at firm prices. The scrap in the Goundries as well as the best finished steel has taken a steady rise since the last jump It is not alone the scarcity in this country that causes the demand, but there $ a0 iron famine abroad
 MT. Kramer says that two signifi~ cant facts have developed recently iri1icatiGg the length Of time the high prices are going to last. The markets in Great BTi3in and Europe have advanced to a point where the American iron is taken at full dcmes. tic figures. In Engfand and Scotland warrants bring a higher price than they kave for years. This is despite the fact that new tonnage h shipment has fallen Of cons. .derabIe and also in the face of the fact that the stock of furnace iron is increasing. So il is uncertain whether the prices which are still tending upward abroad are due to legitimate causes or spscula- tio1s. The opinion in some circles in Scotland is that it is speculation and that a reaction will occur soon.
 Another significant fact is the free placing of orders by American con sumers for the last quarter of this year. and even beyond that. Such contracts, says MT Kramer, are all at full market prices. Some furnace men are unwilling to sell for next years delivery at present prices.

Re>oT OR ROosNvELT

1vosbippton Cor. of the Chicago Tribune.
 Evervtbins given out from administration sources indicates the selection or Eilhu Root for second place on the ticket next year. He took hold of the war department at a critical time, shook off the trammels of red tape and bureau influence, hurried troops and supplies to the Philippines, ana ,cada a report which is considered the pest made by a cabinet officer in a. generation. Tn this way he earned the confidence and resnect of the president and the adminis- tration generally, and his choice as the or fciaI candidate for the vice-presidency Is only natural.
 while all this is true, and while New York is conceded the place from political point of view, republicans in congress, al tbouph heartily in accord with MT. Root, seem to look for surprise in this direc- ton. It is understood that Governor Roose- welt is expected at Philadelphia, and the politicians say if he puts in an appearance there he will be likely to take the conven- ton by storm. Lieutenant Governor Wood ruff is an avowed candidate for the place. and if he should reach Philadelphia with good crowd of shouters he might interfere with Roots chances materlaliy.
 Roosevelt, as is well known, wants to be reelected governor and then to be can dfdate for president In 1904. Should he be forced into the vice-presdency by move ment more or less spontaneous it would leave the way clear for Woodruff to be come governor. Some of his friends say this is back of Woodruff's campaign for the presidency, and they declare Root is to be killed off by the action of the New York delegation. when Roosevelt will be allowed. to come to the front as stampede candidate, and finally Woodruff will take the nomination for governor. These same gossips say Senator Platt is anxious to get rid of Roosevelt at Albany, and sees no way to accomplish 1t except to shelve him as vice-president. Nevertheless, with the administration solid for Root and Roose- welt averse to the shelving process, the chances seem to favor the secretary as the probable successor to Vice-President Ho- bart,

EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Convention of Southern Educators Meets
 in Memphis Today

Memphis, Tenn, December 26.-The Southern Educational association will con-. vene in this city tomorrow evening and continue through Thursday and Friday. Delegates to the convention have begun to arrive in large numbers, and the mem- bers of the local reception committee are taking care of the visitors.
 pr. Julius Jordan, of Fayetteville, Ark.,- president of the association, arrived here yesterday. He is very much encouraged over the prospects of a most successful meeting, and he thought it would be the largest gathering the association has ever had. Dr. Jordan was of the opinion that Arkansas would furnish the largest delega- tion,. 900 being his estimate of the number that will conie from his state.
 The Texas delegation Dr. Jordan said, would be lighter than was expected on ac- count of the delay in securing railroad rates from that territory. He thought, however. that Texas would show up with a fair attendance. Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Lousian, the president stated, would furnish good crowds
 Dr. Jordan said that all of the delegates would be in by Thursday morning for the opening of~the general convention.
