: GOLD MOVEMENT.

Secretary Gage says II, 10 Perfectly
Natural, and Not Prejudicial to
Treasury Interests.
Washington. Aug. N.-Secretary Gage
was asked by a representative Of the
Associated Press II the outward gold
movement was adversely affecting
treasury interests or was likely to
trouble or impair the gold reserve. The
secretary replied that he was suffering
no anxiety at all on that score.
1.-THE movement" he said ,"3s en-
tireiy natural. and nature always tends
to establish just equilibriums. The al
lotment on this side Of sc large a part
Of the English loan fully explains the
movement. We have gold to spare and
It will go and ought to go where it can
be most probably employed. At the
moment the place Of most need appears
to be Great Britain and the continent.
We have a large supply of yellow
metal, an increasing supply when our
domestic production is considered.
Besides this. We are buying at our
assay offices on the Pacific coast almost
the entire product Of the British Klon-
dixie region. With Jul great resources
we can, as long as we maintain the
gold standard and keep the public
credit good, retain for u own use
all the gold we need" W.

Hoboes. Jail Deliver

woonsocket, s. D., Aug. f7.-six
weeks ago John Gere, a section hand,
was knocked down and robbed in broad
daylight. The crime was committed
by, or at least in the presence Of, four
"hoboes," who sought safety in fight.
A posse Of citizens. armed with shot
guns and revolvers, overlook them
about a mile from the city, and. as a
result Of the preliminary hearing, the
one guilty Of the overt act was bound
over to await the action Of the circuit
court. But Sunday night he made his
escape. It seems that when his meals
were brought he managed to secrete Q
couple Of table knives, by means Of
which two of the .three-quarter-inch
iron bars in the east window were
sawed in two. He managed to conceal
his work from day to day by ingeni-
ously removing paint from obscure
parts and applying 1t about the sawed
portion Of the bars. The knives. kn:cked
in the form Of saw teeth. were found
In the jail when the sheriff brought the
prisoner his breakfast Monday morn
ing. AS yet no news has been received
Of his rccapture.

sEvEN ARE KILLED.

An Operators Blunder Causes q
Head-On Collision.
Grand Rapids. Mich, Aug. 1.-THE
most terrible wreck in the history Of
the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad
occurred at Pierson, twenty-nine miles
north Of Grand Rapids. The north
bound Northland express collided head
on with Passenger Train No. 2. Seven
lives were lost and many passengers
were injured, some severely. Both en-
gines and the baggage cars were en-
tirely demolished.
According to the railway officials the
accident was the fault Of the operator
at Mill Creek, four miles north Of this
city. The trains usually meet at Sand
Lake, two miles south of Pierson. An
order was issued that they meet at
Woodstock, -four miles north of Pier
son. Later the operator was asked II
the express had passed his station. He
answered NO." and. according to the
officials, orders which were then sent
for the trains to meet at Sand Lake
miscarried because Train No. S had al
ready passed Mill Creek.
