At the storms Mercy.
The barge Margaret Olwill left Kel-
ly's island at six o'clock Wednesday
night bound for Cleveland with cargo
of stone. There was little or no wind
blowing and everything was favorable
for a pleasant run. At eight o'clock the
wind began to blow from the northwest
and the little boat with thousand tons
capacity began to GO at lively clip. AT
ten o'clock the gale commenced and the
wind blew at the rate of so miles an
hour. Suddenly the gale turned TO the
northeast and Capt Brown found that
the boat was making little Roadway
and concluded the only thing TO do was
to turn back and go with the storm. Ac-
cording to the story of Coyle it was two
o'clock when the captain gave the or
der TO turn about. The vessel had
turned half way round when the ruddeI
chain parted ard in an instant the boat
was at the mercy of the storm. She was
caught between two waves and as she
was borne along the top of one of them
she rolled over on the side. The cabins
came loose from the hull of the barge
and fioated on the water while the rest
of the ship went to the bottom. Wheth-
er any of the occupants were able to
take advantage of this it is not known,
but Coyle says he saw Schinski, the Sec
ond engineer. and Heffron. the wheel
man, after the boat went down. but
that was all. Coyle caught hold of part
of the after cabin and climbed upon it,
Heffron was clinging TO part of the
same cabin.

C0[0R[D Miners SHOT.

Loaded with Negroes Attacked
by a Crowd of Strikers.

One Woman Is shot Through the
Heart-Men Were ON Their Way tn

Intense Excitement Prevails and
bloody Riots Are Expected.

Murphysboro, Ill, July AT nine
o'clock Friday morning Conductor Will
liam Bryan's train, on the Johnson City
branch of the Illinois Central, bearing
AZ negro miners from Pana, was shot
into by a crowd of miners at Lawder, in
Williamson county. One negro woman
was killed by bullet through her
heart. The negroes were brought by
Sam Il. Brush, superintendent of the
st. Louis and Big Muddy mines, near
Carterville, to work in his mine, where
there is now a strike. The miners, so
in number, were armed with rifles and
were hidden in the grass behind the
country depot. When the train stopped
the leader, who was an Italian, got on
the platform and commanded the ne
groes to get out. Conductor Bryan in
terfered, but was stopped by a re-
volver in his face. The train began
to move and the miners poured in
a whitening fire. Conductor Bryan
yelled to the negroes TO throw them
selves on the floor. All escaped serious
wounds save the woman, who was killed
instantly. Half a mile further and the
negroes were unladen and placed under
charge of guards. They were then
marched to the mine. Intense excite
ment prevails in the Carterville coal
field and bloody riots are expected, as
the feeling has been intense for weeks.
Scene Of Other Conflicts.
The mines operated by Mr.. Brush
have been the scene of other conflicts
and the men have felt bitterly his con-
duct and disposition toward them. He
has persistently refused TO recognize
the United Mineworkers of America
or any other organized body of his
employees. He has treated his men only
as individuals. For years the battle
has ragged over his mine and the union
has fought him necessarily. In 1896 a
serious riot occurred which required
the presence of company NJ, of Marion.
and company c, of Carbonate, to put
down. Since then the men have been
more embttered, as he succeeded in
working his shaft with nonunion help.
Victims Take Revenge.
Marion, H., July An attack upon
negro miners being imported TO take

mines, when bullets flew thick and fast.

Troops in Control.
ST. Louis, July "a special to the Re
public from Centerville, H., says that
had il not been for the militia patrolling
the streets Sunday strangers would
hardly guess that the little city was in
the midst of a struggle between capital
and labor. Both sides in the trouble
between the union miners and the non
union men lay on their arms and there
were no disturbances. The presence
of troops quoted matters and allayed
fears of riotous outbreaks.

THE FOUNTAIN CASE
The Political Feature of inc
 Tragedy Cropping Out.
An Expert Who Became NuddIed Over inc Difference Between fhe Blood of Beasts and nen-nuf- fering Heard AbOu! inc Court.

Hillsboro, N. M., June 2.-The polit- | ical phases of the Fountain murder
 case de@loped with today's testimony l The court refused to entertain matters
 relating to political parties. The evi- dence today has been fraught with po- litical feeling against Lee and Gill; land rather than tending tc. show them guilty of the Fountain murder. Pat Garrett was being cross-exam- ined by Attorney Fall. During an ar gument on an objection MT Fall sad:
 Garrett was busted from the sheriff $ office because he refused to murder Lee and Gil.ialnd and other murderers were put in. We will show that they refused Lee a hearing, waiting for the administration to change"
 Garrett said: fThe Masonic lodge was paying the expenses of the inves- tigation. You" he said, addressing Attorney Fall, "and others have been shooting at each other a good deal believe it was called political feeling. ''
 Here the witness startled his listen CTS by saying that Attorney Fall had gene with him to Santa Fe and had got two county commissioners removed so that he (GarretD could be appoint ed sheriff. Garrett then recited how kearney was killed and Lee had the drop on the posse from a house top, but agreed to desist on the condition that Garrett should leave and tell the truth.
 The prosecution anticipating the at tempt of the defense to show that Gel. Fountain is still alive, introduced Pro- lessor Francis Crossen, who was em- ployed by Governor Thornton to cX- anime the earth near Fountains blackboard. He testified that he found human blood in quantities to indicate a sudden wound. Professor Crossen, on cross-examination, said he did not know the blood found was human no man could tell-but he thought it human blood. He could not determine whether it was from nan. or beast without microscope, and he had used none. He broke down completely under the rapid fire of questions by Attorney Fall, who is posted in chem istry.
 When the killing of Kearney, a member of the sheriff's posse. was de- tailed today by witnesses. the court room was crowded, and talk of trou- ble was renewed among the Mexicans. who congregated about the court house dcor.
