IOWA WRECK VICTIMS.
Some Seriously Injured, but All VIII
Probably Recover.


DENISON, To-, Nov. 12-Twentytwo Of
the men injured in the wreck on the
Omaha & Fort Dodge road Saturday are
being cared for here. Accommodations
were so limited, owing to the crowded
condition of the hospital, that a number
Of the least injured have been lodged in
the county Jail, which has been fitted up
as an emergency hospital. Although sew
eral Of the men are very badly hurt, the
attending physicians think that all will
recover.
Considering the large number on the
wrecked train. it is miracle that there
were not more casualties The prompt
ness and efficiency of the relief measures
taken by the railroad company doubtless
saved several lives. A wrecking party
found that there was not enough left Of
the ruins of the two trains to be worth
saving, SO that the debris was burned to
clear the track.

the Contest.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. ia long lost
will has come to light, and with it the
| prospect that the immense estate of the
| late Andrew ]. Davis, the Montana mil
| lionaire, will again burden the reports OF
the Montana supreme court. There is a
woman in the case, and she is after her
share of the Davis millions Her name Is
Mary c. Wilson and her home is in Chi
cage, but the case takes it's origin in
Omaha, w. A Saunders, an Omaha
lawyer, leaves in few days for Butte,
Mont, to file the will for probate.
Andrew ]. Davis was one of the most
conspicuous Of the wealthy men of Mon
tana, and when he died, on March H. 1890,
he left an estate valued at from $4,000, 00O
to 100000. No will was found other
than document executed in 1864, and as
piring heirs Immediately plunged into liti-
dozen years
During the trials of the various cases
that grew out of the contest affiidavits
were filed to show that other and later
wills than the one of 1864 had been made
by the deceased, but none of them ap-
peared.
The document that has now turned up
purports to have been executed in Octo-
Der, 1885, some five months prior to the
death Of Davis. Its first bequest is 500,
OG0 to the city of Butte for a public
library and the second is a similar
amount to my beloved friend, Mary c.
Wilson, of Chicago" Other requests are
100000 to Henry A. Root, a nephew; a
like amount to Marie Louise Dunbar a
niece; a like amount to Diana Davis, a
sister; $4,000 each to Harriet, Sarah and
Elizabeth, three other sisters; $780, 600 to
Erwin, a brother; $500, 600 to Calvin, an
other brother, and the remainder of the
estate to John A. Davis, a third brother

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Nothing more in
teresting than acting as godfather to the
child of the daughter of an old friend of
his occurred in the life of Admiral Dewey
today Shortly after breakfast Admiral
Dewey was joined by his son George, and
the two left the Waldorf-Astoria. They
strolled over to the elevated road and
took a train for South Ferry. Few peo-
pie recognized them as they walked along
the street, and there were not such dem
onstrations as occurred on Friday and
Saturday morning, which caused the ad-
miral to announce that he would leave
the city unless the enthusiasm were con-
trOlled. When they entered the elevated
train number of persons recognized the
admiral and his son and passed through
the car in which he sat, but did not ap-
pear to annoy him.

WAR OF THE COMBINES,
Anthracite Coal Operators Preparing
to Fight Railways.

NEW YORK, Nov. PAT a meeting held
in this city to-day, the Anthracite Coal OPP
orators Association adopted resolutions
pledging the support of all it's members in
the speedy building of railroad to connect
the railroad lines already controlled by the
association in Pennsylvania to tidewater, at
Rondout. New York. The association is
composed of all the independent coal op-
orators in the Lackawanna, Wyoming, Le-
high and Schuylkill valleys. These number
sixty-eight and represent capital of s110,-
100000 and one-third the total output of an
thracite coal, which, 1t is estimated, will
amount TO i7,5OO,OO0 tons this year. This,
1t is stated by the coal operators. means a
fight against the railroad combine" which
is controlled largely by j. Pierpont Morgan,
of this city. through the Reading, Erie and
Lehigh Railroads, which roads. the Penn
sylvania coal operators say. have put op-
pressive rates on the coal traffic from the
independent mines.
The Pennsylvania Coal Company, which is
with the association, owns the Erie & Wyo-
ming Railroad. a road which ramifies
through the coal regions and runs to Haw-
ley, Pa. The association has been consider
ing the building of road from this point
10 Kingston, n. Y, where II will reach
tidewater at Rondout- There will be eighty
one miles of road 10 build which. with the
existing roads. will make the distance 15
miles from the coal mining center to tide
water. Steps have already been taken 10
lay out the proposed road. 1t was said to-
day that the building of the new road would
reduce the freight rate on coal Is cents.

Senator MasOn's Estimate Of the Late
Vice President.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-senator Mason, of
Illinois, said to-day: 1.-THE death of Mr..
Hobart is very serious blow to the party
and the Nation. A serious blow to the
party because he had the elements of sound
judgment and great consideration for the
opinion of others, which made him peace
maker and kept the party united. A great
loss to the country because, as presiding
officer of the Senate, he transacted public
business promptly and frequently averted
filibustering tactics by kindness and con-
sideration for those senators who were in
clined to delay business. Personally l feel
his loss for the reason that the time
was first nominated for the House Of Rep
resentatives had a very bitter contest in
my district and he was appointed by the
national committee to arbitrate the differ
ence and determine the question who was
the regular nominee. I have been his de-
voted friend since that time. Not simply be-
cause he decided in my favor, for his con-
duct had been so fair and open that l said
publicly / would abide by the decision and
go back to the district and help secure the
election of my competitor if he were de-
clared to be the nominee. 1 think Mr.
Hobart's greatest characteristic, above his
professional and statesmanlike qualities
was that he was both strong and gentle
Through all our close acquaintance of six
teen years I never heard him say an un-
kind word of a human being"

CASE OF POISONING.
Arsenic i'm the Stomach Of a Woman
Who Died Last April.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Nov. 22.-On April 10 Mrs.
Jacob Fowler. while on a visit to her son-in-
law, who resided in Vermont, ILL.,, became
ill suddenly and died in great agony. She
was buried at Rushville, where her home
was. Five days ago the body was exhumed
and the stomach sent to Prof. James Gard
ner, of Peoria, for analysis, who found ii
contained arsenic in large quantities and
the remains of some peaches that Mrs. Fow-
Ter had eaten were also found saturated
with the poison. Her son-in-law, whose
wife is dead, had a lawsuit with Mrs. Fow
ler over the possession Of his child, which
had inherited considerable property. and
Mrs. Fowler was given the custody of the
child with the understanding that the little
girl should be taken to visit her father oc-
casonally. 1t was during one Of these Wis
its that the death happened.
