New Orleans, October IA dis
patch from Guthrie, o. H., says: Two
passengers were killed and a dozen
more or less seriously injured by a
wreck on the northbound through pas
sengeG train at Waterloo, fifteen miles
south of Guthrie. The train was
foTy-iive minutes late and was rum
ming forty miles an hour when the
gineer John Lane reversed the lever,
but the baggage, express and mail
cars were soon off the track and the
smoker was forced on top of them,
turning up side down, and injurlng
nearly every one in it. The day coach
also left the track. but the rest of the
Rock, cattle man from Jonah, Tex
as, was hurled half way through the
length of the smoker, but got up and
started to walk away after the wreck.
He fell over and died in few min
utes as the result of internal injuries.
| Thomas Mayer ger a IaFeliHg man from
Oklahoma City, was thrown against
the roof of the smoker and Instantly
killed. G. T.sSmith of Galveston was
badly hurt about the head and body
He will probably recover. Ray Van
dever, 9-year-old boy of Ray county
Mo-, was fatally injured about the
chest. James Black of jonah Texas,
had an arm broken.

Waco, Texas, October 1.-Slnce the
river has receded from the lowland
farms a careful estimate of the dam
age shows that 1t will not be as
heavy as at first supposed. The great
err part of the damage was done by
backwater, but great deal of the
land thus covered with water was ly-
ing out, the cotton first planted hav-
ing been killed by the spring Hoods,
and the water having remained on 1t
too long for replanting. Much OF the
cotton replanted and reached by the
present overflow was only slightly
damaged. Some of as fine young cot
ton as ever graced a Brazos bottom
plantation, however, was ruined by
the late flood, but 300 acres will cover
loss of this kind.

Frankfort, Kentucky, October II
The motion for a new tr'71 in the case
'of sfnes Howard wks 6verruled by
Judge Cantrill this afternoon and
Howard was sentenced to hang De-
cember Z. 1t was agreed that the at
torneys should be allowed to file their
bill of exceptions in, the appeal to the
court of appeals anytime between now
and the third week in October.
Howard did not weaken or appear
agitated when the solemn sentence of
the court conslgning him to the gal
lows was pronounced upon him; in an
swer to the usual question Of the court
if he could show cause why sentence
should not be pronounced, he said VI
firm, clear voice, 81 am innocent
He stood erect facing the court. and
listening intently to every word ut
tered by the judge, who was visibly
affected by the solemnity of the occa-
sion and spoke in voice choked with
emotion. In overruling Towards mo-
ton for a new trial, which occurred
only few moments before sentence
pronounced, the court said he did not
cnsider any of the matter set up in the
affidavits filed by the defense as suffi-
Client to cause new trial The atti-
davits of the defense attacking the
qualifications of some Of the jurors
had bee fully Offset by counter atfi-
davits by the prosecution But as to
the admission one bit of testimony
the court was in great doubt as to
whether the defendant's rights had
not been prejudiced though the ruling
admitting it was in accordance with
decisions of the court of appeals.
The testimony in question was as
to the conversation between Henry
Youtsey and w. H. Culton, alleged CO.
conspirators, and the court said:
while the court of appeals has held
this sort of testimony may be admitted
as evidence, have grave doubts as
to the correctness Of that ruling, and
II left unhampered by that decision
should not have allowed that part of
the testimony to have gone to the jury,
But the curt OF appeals is the highest
judicial body in the State. and there is
nothing left for this court except to
follow the lines laid down by It,"

New York. September 29.AThe pa
pers relating to the affairs of the late
William M. Rice are now in the hands
VI Either taspO,I Ne o. Qsptal
Baker OF Houston. The authorities
had the first picking and gathered in
the assignment the deceased had made
of his bonds and stocks to his New
York attorney and other documents
and Captain Baker took the remain
der. The matter in no way has affect
ed the confidence of Mr.. Patrick and
he was seemingly very willing to sur
render everything to his coexecutor
under the will. The most prominent
figure in the case now is Captain
Baker, who is practically in charge of
matters. BY far the most interesting
documents delivered yesterday were
Nthe two wills of the late William M
Rice, dated about two years apart, the
last one being executed shortly before
his decease. The production of two
wills was surprise. Nothing regard
ing the contents of the wills is to be
both Albert T. Patrick and James A.
Baker are among those named as exc
cutors. Everything now points to the
probability that in all recent transac-
lions the late Mr.. Rice was acting in
accord with both James A. Baker and
through him Frederick A. Rice. Mr.
Baker would say nothing beyond the
statement that he had better grasp
upon things now and that he believed
the case finished as far as the New
York end was concerned. The estate
will probably be further embarrassed,
however, by the position that Swenson
& Co., the bankers, are occupying in
its affairs. Mr.. Patrick admits that
Mr. Rice was unable to complete some
litigation without their aid and there
fore continued friendly relations with
them, which cordially can now hardly
be kept up with the estate. The dis
trict attorneys Office is now occupying
rather the position of spectator of
events ready to act If necessary, but
having no cause at this time. The
reason for its holding any Of the pa
pers in the case can not be clearly
seen; unless the expected turns UP it
is believed it will have nothing to do

Ranks stilI Intact.

Hazleton, Pa, October 1.-The post
ing by the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company of notices
granting an increase Of 10 per cent to
all the employees Of It's thirty-nine col
lierles in the Schuylkill valley did not
cause any apparent commotlon at the
headquarters of the United Mine
Workers here today. President Mitch
ell did not know of the action of the
Reading company until Informed of it
by reporter of the Associated Press.
He did not express the least surprise.
He refused to discuss the advance,
but it is understood he knew the 10
per cent increase would be made aNl
was anxious to see in what manner
the information would be conveyed to
the men. The action of the Reading
company in directly notifying it's men
through posters indicate sthat the OPP
orators will not recede from their po-
sltion of refusal to recognize the I'M
ion. What President Mitchell's first
move will be in view Of this new
phase of the situation is not known.
"The operators are evidently not
taking me into consideration" he said
but they will wish they had"
Discussing the question of COM
promise, the National president said
tt would depend upon circumstances
whether a compromise would be con-
sldered When asked if the amount
of increase would be one of the cir
cumstances, he said 1t would be a con-
sideration. There is considerable
talk that the posting Of theY ices
will cause break In the strikers
ranks. 1t is predicted that IL this does
happen, it would mean the end of the
strike in a very short time The la
Dor leaders again reiterated today that
there will be no break and that the
strikers are under perfect control.

GERMANY RETIRES
FROM AN APPARENTLY UNTEN-
ABLE POSITION IN CHINA.


London. September 29.-Apparently
'Germanys retreat from an untenable
position has been virtually accom-
plished. The Paris correspondent of
the Morning Post says can agree
ment on the Chinese programme has
been arranged between France, Ger
many and Russia. 1t will be submit
ted to the other powers within few
days. The action recommended will
be milder than Germany's original
proposal and it is expected that all
the powers will accept the pro-
gramme.' The Cologne Gazette, in
another semi-otiiclal statement APP
parently intended for consumption in
the United States and England points
out the serious position resulting from
Prince Tuan's ascendancy, saying:
The continued massacre of mission
aries and converts indicates that the
antl-foreign movement is directed
from an influential center" 1t thinks
that the situation thus created must
appear intolerable even to those pow
ers favoring a policy of indulgence
and forbearanee." The Tlen Tsin cor
respondent of the Standard says: 81

clared that Vice Admiral Alexleff has
come to Port Arthur to avoid meeting
Count Won Waldersee, who was to
hold conference with him and with
Vice Admiral Seymour and Sir Alfred

dated September 81. has been re-

Scranton, Pa, September 2o.-oper-
ators, here admit that Senator Hanna
is the central figure in the negotla-
tons for a settlement of the strike,
and while they profess to be at sea
as to the details, they are confident
that he knows beforehand what will
be acceptable to the miners, and what
ever conditions he has exacted or is
exacting from the coal men in New
York would be nothing less than what
would be satisfactory to the miners.
This conference is heightened by a
generally credited story that the de-
lay in issuing the strike order was to
give President Mitchell time to inter-
est Senator Hanna in the effort at eff
fecting settlement.
