A Terrible Accident Happens to
q Galena Boy.
Team He is Driving Rushes
Down a Steep Hill
INTO A GAZING MINE.
The Boy Chung to the Seat Of
the Wagon.
Was Found an Unrecognizable
Mass Underneath.
INTO A GAZING MINE.

Galena, Jan. 9.-One Of the most ter
rible accidents in the history of Ga1ena
occurred at this place about noon Sat-
urday. Willie, the year old son of
John c. Day. was driving team to a
junk wagon through the mines. The
team became manageable and ran
away. They commenced running at the
top of a short hill at the foot of which
was an old abandoned mine, probably
rs feet deep, which has caved in from
the top, leaving a large round cavity.
The road forks just at the shaft, one
going east and one west.
The horses rushed down the hill, one
trying to pursue one course and the
other another at the forks. The result
was they finally ran up to the mouth
of the shaft and made an effort to jump
it. They did SO partially, but the wagon
pulled them back and into the hole. The
boy, who was driving, was thrown from
his seat by the jerking and bouncing
and thrown headlong into the shaft, the
wagon seat and horses following
A windlass was Immediately erected
and it was found that the boy was at
the bottom of the shaft while over g.
900 pounds of horse flesh was above
him. The horses were pulled out and
the boy was found horribly mangled
and almost buried in the filth which is
to be found in all abandoned mines. The
body was recovered about $3.50 .. m.

Merry ROBBERS.
Bind and Gag a Fort Scott Po-
liceman and Rob Hotel
Guests.

st. Louis, Jan. "a Post Dispatch
special from Fort Scott, Kan, says:
Two masked men early this morning
captured policeman, took him a mile
into the woods, bound and gagged him,
and with rare GOODNESS held up and rob-
bed nine men in the Cottage House and
Sayers House, two hotels on prominent
business streets. Edward Mead, an en-
gineer on the Kansas City, Fort Scott &
Memphis, who was one of the victims,
was shot by one of the robbers, and
George H. Young, a colored man, was
mistaken for one of them and shot.
Several hours after the robbery the
police identified the bandits as they
boarded the st. Louis-bound Missouri,
Kansas & Texas passenger train and
had pitched battle with them, but
they got away.
The robbery occurred on East Wall
street on Policeman Jones' beat. The
Cottage House was entered first. One
bandit kept the guests covered with his
revolver while the other robbed them of
their watches, pistols and money. The
booty taken was about $3.50 and a num-
Der of watches. II. T. Dayton, a mer-
chant and stockman of Golden City,
Mo-, who was just returning from mar
ket, was relieved of hundred dollars
and a watch. Then the bandits went
across the street to the Savers House
and robbed the clerk and money

Marysville, Jan. 9.-Postoffice Inspec-

That office was robbed, on the night
of December 10, of $431 in stamps and

parties ever since. A few days ago he
arrested the two first named in the
woods of Arkansas, six miles from Gill

MCCOY WEAKENs A TRIFLE.
Begins bubble Over the Question
of Hitting in Clinches.

New York Jan 9.-Some uneasiness
has developed among patrons of box
ing, owing to the attitude assumed by
Kid Mccoy on the question of hitting in
cIinches. Mccoy says that under clause
ID of the articles which Sharlzey and he
signed for the fight tomorrow night
neither can hit while the other has hold
of him and that the holding constitutes
a clinch. McCoy's position is said to be
at variance with an expressed under
standing between the two men at the
time the articles were signed and while
agreeing with the letter of the articles,
is declared to be contrary to their spirit.
The verbal agreement it is represented
was that a man might hit so long as
both hands were free. That Mccoy
should have raised the issue almost on
the eve of the contest is regarded as an
evidence of apprehension on his part
that he may not be able to cope with the
ex-marine at all points of the game.
If the articles are strictly carried out
all man will have to do when in a
tight place is to place his hand on the
others shoulder and this would, accord
ing to the articles, constitute a clinch.
Sharkey and O'Rourke, his manager,
say they will insist upon adherence to
the verbal agreement but Mccoy has
declared that nothing but what is duly
set forth in the articles will "go.'
George Considine, manager of Jim
Corbett who was a Mccoy admirer up
to yesterday has switched and is now
ready to bet on Sharkey.
while I have always been of the
opinion that Mccoy would beat Shark
ey," Considine is quoted as saying, Il
have changed my mind, and now think
that SharIxey will defeat Mccoy. I am
ready to bet 5000 to 81, 900 that Sharkey
will win and I expect to have no trouble
in getting my money covered"
The admirers of Sharkey are betting
their money on the sailor to beat Nc
Coy, but they have given up hope Of
getting any better odds than 100 to 80.
Tom O'Rourke has made two big bets.
The first one is with Joe Vendig, the
bookmaker, 5000 to 81 900 on Sharkey.
The other bet is with Con Keefe of Bos-
ton, at the same odds and for the same
amount as the one with Vendig. Sam
Fitzpatrick has bet 1000 even on Nc
Coy.
Mccoy quit training yesterday and
will come from Asbury Park to the
Cadillac hotel in this city, where he will
remain until an hour before the fight
starts.
Sharkey will only do light training to-
DAY and tomorrow.

LFrom the st. Paul Dispatch.1
There is much reason for the general
feeling that an era of speculation is
about to open. With so much present
activity in business, it is natural that
investors should begin to discount the
future, to perceive that prosperity is
to continue, that money will be made,
that prices are bound to rise and that
a man who gets in on the ground floor
and buys while things are cheap Is 60
ing to make large profits. That is what
happened in 1879 and 1880, when 1t was
apparent that the blight of the panic
of 1873 had been worn off. The revival
Of production and of investment was
sudden and astonishing, just as it has
been during the past year. Then came
speculation in the various forms Of pro-
jecting new enterprises, building houses
buying and selling land. There could
be no more favorable time for enter
prise than the present, with low prices

banks for the enterprising. A move

cite several presidents for their finding,
the most analogous case being that of
General Frank p. Blair, of Missouri.
General Blair was elected to congress
in November, 1860. Between November
and the assembling of congress he was
appointed to and accepted a position in
the army. He served in the army until
January 1, 1861, when he resigned his
commission and appeared in congress
to claim his seat. His right to his seat
was contested on the same ground
the right of General Wheeler and Coils.
Campbell and Colson has been question
ed. The house decided that when Gen.
Blair, after the meeting of congress,
elected to remain in the army, he for
feited his seat in the house. President
Lincoln reappointed Gen. Blair to his
former rank in the army. AS Gen.
Wheeler and Coils. Campbell and Col
son have all retained their commissions
in the army, the decision of the hCdse
to unseat them will be no great hard
ship on them. Gen. Wheeler has never
drawn any pay as congressman since
his appointment as a major general,
and it is said that while the vouchers
for his pay a congressman have been
sent to Col. Campbell regularly he has
never cashed them. Gen. Wheeler and
Col. Campbell are Democrats and Col.
ColSon is a Republican.

BREIDENTHAL's VIEWS.
Says the Bankers Lobby and Blind
Partisanship Beat His Bill

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal lays
the defeat of his guaranty fund bill to
the fact that the national bankers lobby
tainted some of the Populist members
with the idea that they were taking his,
BreidenthaPs, word for the good feat
ures of the bill, which they had no
personal knowledge of.
Some of our fellows lose sight of the
fact that it is necessary for them to
take some ones word on measures
which they have not made a thorough
stand things which they have not
studied into as well as those who have
studied them, but when the bankers
told them they were voting for the
measure simply because Breidenthal
told them it was a good thing, they
turned around and voted against it be-
cause the national bankers wanted
them to. They did not stop to take in
to consideration what interest the ma
tional bankers had in the matter. 1
have copies of letters written by MEM
bers of the national bank lobby that
was here fighting this bill In which the
writers said that the bill was a good
thing for the state banks and for the
people, but that it would compel the
national banks to come under the state
laws, and the state laws were too strict
to suit them, SO they were going to do
all they could to defeat the bill.
1.-The Republicans opposed the meas
.ure from a political standpoint. They
talked it over among themselves ana
it came to my ears that they would
not support the measure because the
Populist house would get the credit for
1t, and they were afraid the Populist
house was getting. too much credit.
They said they would defeat it this
time and pass a similar bill during the
next legislature. But they won't do 1t.
If they introduce one it will be loaded
down with bad features in order to kill
1t.
1.-THE influence of the national bank
ers' lobby is what killed the bill this
time. 1t was not a partisan measure
and / had no idea it would need de-
Tending through the press. 1t is evident
to me now that many people are moved
by their sentiment. in such matters as
this and not by their judgment, and it
was so with some of the members Of the
legislature. We would have had enough
votes to have passed it, how
ever, had all the members been here.
Taylor went to Manhattan and
Gillespie was called home by the
burning of his creamery. They would
have both voted for the bill had they
been here

IOWA'S NATIONAL GUARD
To Be Organized on the Plans of the
Regular Army.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 9.-The Iowa
National Guard will probably be re-
organized on the basis Of the regular
army. Such is the wish of prominent
officers in the state who are engaged at
present in forming the new guard. The
new regiments will be subject to United
States medical examinations and every
man will be armed and equipped ready
to be mustered without delay into the
service of the national government in
case war is declared.
The adjutant general believes in aboli-
ton of the stationary annual encanp-
ment and the substitution of practice
marches as a means of hardening the
men and drilling them in rough routine
camp life. An effort will be made to
have the appointive governors staff,
commonly referred to as the bouquet
holders" dispensed with in favor of a
system of promotions of merit. Several
other radical changes are in contempla-
ton.
