STRUCK AsUBMERGED WRECK.
Serious Accident to the American
Line Steamer ST. Paul-Six
Months i r Repairs.

New York, Nov. 5.-The American
line steamer ST. Paul limped into port
yesterday morning under the port en-
CINE, after having incurred the most
serious experience Of her are
On October 81 the ST. Paul struck a
supposed submerged wreck, carrying
away the starboard propeller, causing
the engines to race so fiercely that
the shaft broke and all connections
snapped. The starboard engines were
so severely wrecked that they are USE
less, and it will take six months to
replace them with a new set. The af.
ter cupboard shaft tubing was carried
away. The ship is leaking considera-
bly,.
When the accident occurred the
cabin passengers were quite excited,
but they were soon restored to quiet
by the prompt report that the steam
er was in no danger. The wind was
blowing heavily from the northeast,
with a high cross-sea. The engineers
examined the breaks and disconnected
the starboard engines, and the ST.
Paul proceeded on her voyage under

MAKING THE PUBLIC PAY.
The Coal BarOns Intend to Make the
Consumer Bear the Cost of
the Recent Strike.

New York, Nov. 3.-Local coal deal
ers have been thrown into a state of
CONSERVATION by an announcement
hat the price of anthracite Goa had
been advanced so tents a ton.
This increase is general and applies
to the annual production of anthra-
cite coal-5O, 900, 900 tons-it means an
additional profit to the Coal trust of
S25, OOO, 900.
A dealer, who has analysed the con-
ditions of mining in the anthracite re-
gion, writes to the Evening Post that,
in granting an increase of ten per
cent. in wages to the miners the cost
of production will be increased SA
cents per ton. AS the price of coal to
the had already been in
creased so cents a ton, the new adj
vance gives the operators an addition
al profit of 81 on the ton, Dr. $5O,000,-
600 a year.
Deducting from this sun the in
creased cost of production on the
basis of 81 cents a ton, it will be seen
that, as a result of the strike in the
anthracite region, the operators will
enjoy a net increase of S45,s75,OO0 in
income.

One of Them a Deserter to the Ranks
of the Enemy and Sentenced
for Treason.

oners have escaped from the United
States military prison on Alcatraz ISL

STILL RoBBING poor 10.
Vigorous Protest of Indian AEen4
Against Unlawful
Action of Whites.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Indian Agens
Shoenfeld, in charge of Union agency,
whose jurisdiction comprises the five
civilized tribes, protests, i'll his annual
report, against unlawful occupation
of the Indian lands, and urges rigid
congressional legislation to protect
the Indian citizen against the en-
croachment of aggressive and grasp
ing whites. OF 1000 complaints filed
against non-citizens by Indians in the
past fiscal year a large majority were
against white men who in the past
had intruded themselves upon the In
dams, and had gained their confidence
to a large darree to secure possession
of their prospective allotments, and
after having secured possession re-
fused either to pay rem or v~acate,
thus preventing the Indians from re-
ceiying any rents OF profits there
from. Many OF the Indians are too
poor to institute suit for possession,
and, therefore, are left helpless.
The total population of the five
civilized tribes is estimated at S4.150,
comprising 20,250 Choctaws and freed
men, 10, 500 Chickasaws and freedmen.
10000 Greeks and freedmen, $1,000
Cherokees and freedmen, and 5000
Seminoles. and their lands comprise
a total of 19,776,2S6 acres.
The agent says that there is now
every reason to believe that the In
dian dcpredations and disturbances in
the five tribes region are at an end.
y few full-blooded Creeks are siren
uousiy opposing the allotment of
lands and have banded together and
refuse to appear to select their all -
ments. A large majority of the
Greeks, however, have made selec-
tions. The report recommends that
congress appropriate out of the Cher
oEee funds a sufficient amount to pay
the Indebtedness of the nation; that
a law be passed compelling the five
tribes 10 adopt a uniform system of
taxing ncn-citizens residing and do
ing business in the limits of their ma
ton. and that a workhouse or REFORM
atory be established.

Drew His Revolver and Shot n Man
Who Accidentally Spat
UDOn Him.

New York. Nov. 3.-Robert Flkins, q
shipping clerk, was probably fatally
wounded, yesterday, by John Sweet.
a salesman. Elkins was in front OF
the store where he works engaged in
marking a a 81 of goods when Sweet

the time. He turned his head without
seeing Sweet, and spat on him. Sweet
became enraged, and before Elkins
could arise to explain, drew a revolver
and shot him in the neck.
A large number of truck drivers and
others who witnessed the affair, start
ed in pursuit of Sweet, who ran down
the street and, turning, fired a shot
at the pursuers, which, luckily, missed.
His fight took him to the Mercer
Street police station, into which he
ran for refuge. He was locked up.

JENNIE BosscHIETER CASE.
Ali Four OF the Men Implicated In the Pat
erson IN. J.) Tragedy Indicted
by the Grand Jury.

New York, Nov. 3.-The grand jury
At Paterson, n. j., yesterday handed
up indictments against Walter C.. Me-
A~lister, George j. Kerr, william a.
Death and Andrew Campbell, who are
Bosschieter, who was drugged t.
death on October Is. There were two
indictments against each of the young
men
Judge Barkalow received the indict-
ments, and instructed County CLERK
Winfield that the indictments both for
murder and assault be transmitted
and delivered to the court of oyer and
terminer, over which Supreme Court
Justice Dixon p%resides.
1t is not known when Judge Dixon
will arraign the e They can not
be ,arraigned before any other judge.
1t is said that while the grand jury
was considering the case some of the
members ia disposed to find an in
dic-ment against Sculthorpe, on his
w admissions, as IN accessory to
the assault, at least, but they were
in the minority The hackman claimed
to know nothing about the condition
of the girl when she was bundled into
his rig and that when he arrived at
the Rock road he was coerced by two
of the men into doing as he was told.
1t is alleged hat in the course OF
discussion of the ease among the
members of the grand jury it was said
that Jennie's heart was weak, and 1t
was possible that this may have been
the cause of her death. There was no
evidence that choral was admins
tered, and this point can only be de-
termined by the analysis of the stom-
ach or by a confession from one of
the accused men. The physicians
could not say positively that death
was due to a poisonous drug

ment that death may have been due
to a weak heart that on one occasion
Jennie, while standing on a stree

The vote on the indictment is said
to nave been unanimous.
The chemical analysis of the dead
girls organs is being made at a labor
atory in New York city, OF which
Prof. Wittyhaus, who has figured i'll
the Molineux, Rice and other cases, is
the head. The ANALYSIS has not YET
been completed, and no report has
been made to the county physician.
On this report much is said to de-
pend. 1t is said it may be needful to
accept the confession of Campbell or
Death or both as witnesses, and ac-
cept pleas of guilty from them to the
crime of rape only. If the analysis
is strong enough the confessions may
not be used. Even if the analysis does
not establish poison, it is said that the
state may elect to eliminate that feat.

Expert to be Called.

St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 1.-THE condi-
ton of Senator c. X. Davis is report
ed as decidedly worse tonight, and
grave fears are entertained that if his
life is saved it may be at the cost OF
his foot or possibly his right leg. The
pus which had formed in the fore part
of his foot and for the removal of
which two surgical operations were
performed, has nov gathered further
back, and indications are hat it is
permeating the entire limb. His fever
has returned and does not yield us
readily to treatment as formerly. The
surgeons held a consultation to-day,
and decided to send at once to Chi
cago for the best specialist to be had.
The senator was very restless and suf-
fered much pain to-day.
