EXAMINATION OF HoEY.
A Line Rider Testifiss to the Nosalss Snug.
Cling Conspiracy Case.

Nogales, Ariz., Sept. 2.-William
Hoey, United States Collector of Gus
toms at this port, was arraigned today
before United States Commissioner R.
D. George on several charges based on
Information that he conspired to ad
NIT Chinese into this country from
Mexico in fraudulent manner. A
number of witnesses were examined,
the principal one being George w.
Webb, known as line rider. Webb
testified, among other things, that he
advised Hoey that Chinese were being
brought through the lines and made
an engagement with the Collector to
meet him at his room. He put a man
named Dickey in a cupboard and left
the door ajar. Continuing he said:
I talked with Hoey about China
man named How and proposed to go
in with him. I said that How had
promised me $40 a head. Hoey said
all right and told me how he had fixed
it with them to use a letter A on the
certificate of those who had paid the
fee, and that was to let such China
man go, but was to arrest all Others
The examination will be continued
tomorrow.

Made a Mile a Minute.

The runaway tore down the hill at
lightning speed, rounding the most
sharp curves at speed of 70 miles an
hour, where regular trains crawl along.
With a roar it burst around the curve
and what is most remarkable jumped
a split switch, which would have
turned it to the sidetrack and
crashed into the passenger.
There was neither time nor
opportunity for escape. Mr.. Downs
car and that of the laborers was
smashed into hndling wood, the occu-
pants of the private car meeting in
slant death. The debris and shingles
and lumber of freight burned like tin
der. The train crew was forced back
from its work of rescue. One man
penetrated as far as the private car
where he said he saw the dead bodies
of Mr.. Downs and his son, and from
where he dragged the corpse of the
cook. In the laborers' car many of the
46 occupants were so penned in that
they could not be reached and burned
to death before the eyes of the spec
tators. The fire was so fierce that the
rear sleeper could not be saved,
though it had not left the track. It's
occupants were hurried into forward
cars, which were pulled ahead out OF
reach OF the fire. The flames extend
ed to the brush alongside the track
and burned down the telegraph poles.
A wire break followed, which, with a
storm, greatly retarded telegraphic
news of the wreck. ]

TO CLOSE BUTCHER SHOPS.
New York Butchers Will See That the Sunday
Law Is Strictly Enforced.

New York, Sept. 3.-The butchers
of New York are determined that the
new state law prohibiting the sale or
delivery of meats Sunday shall be en-
forced. To this end an army of 2700
men, all opposed to Sunday labor and
all eager to aid in carrying out the
provisions of the law, will patrol the
city tomorrow. 1t will be the largest
army ever organized in any city for
such purpose and will be under the
direction of the Benchman's Associa
tion of Retail Butchers, comprising &c.
900 men, employed in butcher shops
in this city. The butchers came to the
conclusion that the most effective
means they could adopt to compel the
stoppage of the sale and delivery of
meat Sundays was to create a legal
vigilance committee of their own. The
city has been divided into districts and
captains appointed in each.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Four Deaths In One Family Within Month
Cause an Investigation.

Calumet, Mass, Sept. Sit is rather
unusual for four persons in one family
to meet death within period of one
month. Yet this occurred in the case
of Mr. and Mrs. Alder P. Davis and
their two daughters, Mrs. Irving Gibbs
and Mrs. Harry Gordon, the latter OF
Chicago, the deaths taking place only
a few weeks ago.
Some one started a rumor that these
persons, or at least two of them, did
not die from natural causes. Finally
the District Attorney ordered an inves-
tigation, and Joseph Whitney, of the
state police force, was instructed to
make an autopsy on the bodies of Mrs.
Gordon and Mrs. Gibbs. An under
taker exhumed the bodies and an au-
topsy was held in the presence of med
ical experts, including State Examiner
Faunce, State Detective Whitney, Pro-
fessor Whitney and Professor Wood,
of Harvard College. While Professor
Wood had undoubtedly been requested
by Captain Paul Gibbs to attend the
autopsy, he was also present as an
expert employed by the state, and to
his custody was intrusted the organs
of the two bodies for chemical analy-
sis. This, in the minds of many, shows
that the authorities are looking for
poison.
The fact that the Jacin House,
which was the home of the Davis fam
lily, was set on fire four or five times
during the interval between the death
of Mrs. Davis and her youngest dau-
ghter is considered as having an i'm
portant bearing on the case.
Whether the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs
Davis are to be exhumed depends on
the result of the autopsy held tomor-
row. The result will not become
known for several days.

STRIKERS FAIL AT DuouEsNE.
Employees of the Carnegie Plant Did Not
Come Out as Expected.

Pittsburg, Sept. 4.-The steel strik-
ers who have been trying for week
to get the employees Of the Carnegie
plant at Duquesne to come out, made
a last stand today and failed. A par
s.de from McKeesport to meet the
workmen on their way to the mill at
6 A. NJ, and induce them to remain
away, had been arranged, but when
the hour arrived there was no march
ers and the parade was abandoned.
The fight had been made In the OPEN
hearth department, but notwithstand-
ing house-to-house canvass by the
strikers last night, only two men re-
fused to return to work. Today the
works were in full operation, and the
strikers argue there is little hope of
closing the plant.
Dissatisfaction is increasing at Nc
Keesport. Last Friday about 40 strik-
ers returned to work at the seamless
tube plant, and today their force was
considerably increased. It is said pre-
parations are in progress for resump-
tion of work at the National Tube
Works, and that the machinists who
were compelled to cease work through
the strike, have been ordered to re-
port for work, for the purpose of get
ting the machinery in order.
The Mononghela blast furnace de-
department of the National Tube
Works is working full, and an effort
is to be made this. week to beat the
output record since the strike started.
| At the Demmler tin plate plant, every.
thing has been made readyfor an early
| start. A report was current in Nc
| Keesport today that large number OF
Deputy Sheriffs had been sworn in tc
go to Demmler to guard the works al

ordered to report for duty Wednesday

Forming the Plow Trust.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Nearly thirty
plow manufacturers of the United
States were in session here today dis
cussing plans for a consolidation of all
the plow interests in the country.
After the meeting it was announced
that the proposed consolidation was
practically sure thing from present
prospects and that about $50, 600, 900
would be represented in the organiza-
tion when it should be completed. The
recent rise of ten per cent in the price
of plows and the proposed consolida-
tion is the result, the manufacturers
say, of an increase in the price OF
every kind of material and a ruinous
credit system that has prevailed for
years.

FAMINE IN RUSSIA
GOVERNMENT Is PREPARING TO
FEED THE DESTITUTE.
Prospects for the Winter are Decidedly Bad
In Many Districts the Population Are Al.
most Face to Face With Starvation
Official Government Crop Reports Show
a Serious Condition.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2.-The day
on which the first fruits of the har-
vest were blessed in the churches,
which was celebrated throughout
Russia this week, must have
been day of mourning in many
of the provinces. The outlook has
grown worse almost every week dur
ing the last four weeks. Even vege-
tables, including potatoes, have been
largely burned by the scorching heat
in some districts. The approaching
winter will be one of the gloomiest
Russia has ever seen.
The government already has begun
preparations for the feeding of the
population in districts where starva-
tion is threatened. By a law adopted
some time ago, the Zemstvos, or dis
trict assemblies are relieved from
all responsibility in the matter, the
famine relief funds being now turned
over to the central government.
Agents of the ministry of the interior
are engaged in buying grain, though
the Russian press is forbidden to
mention the matter. The precise OBJ
ject of this prohibition is difficult to
divine. 1t cannot be possible that
the government thinks the grain spec
ulators can be taken unawares, and
the secrecy with which the prices and
the localities of purchases are invest
ed can hardly be conducive to econ

he remained in the locality where the

bodies could not be recovered. On the
following Monday George Perkins

body was recovered and will be buried

IT'S WORST WRECK.
GREAT NORTHERN DISASTER AT
KALisPELL, MONTANA.
Twenty.eisht Freight Cars Ran Down Steep
Grade for Sixteen Miles and Crashed Into

Fire to the Wreckase, Consuming Many
Of the Dead and Living Victims.

Spokane, Sept. 3.-All reports show
that the wreck on the Great Northern
Railroad, 40 miles east of Kalispell,
Mont, was the worst in the roads his
tory, and one of the most agonizing
in the annals of American railroading.
Thirty-eight lives were lost and Is per-
sons were injured. Three of the in
jured will surely die, and the others
were seriously hurt.
By strenuous ard heroic effort Is OF
the bodies were taken from the wreck
ed cars before the flames reached
them. All the other victims were Gre
mated, including the bodies of Super
intendent P. T. Downs and his son, T.
Kirk Downs.
There is a severe grade near the
scene of the wreck. Two engines had
taken train of % freight cars up this
grade and drawn off to take water
While doing this the % cars started
down the grade. The runaway train
dashed down the grade at frightful
speed and crashed into the rear of
west-bound passenger No. near the
siding at Nyack. Superintendent
Downs private car was attached to the
passenger and next to it was a day
coach filed with railroad laborers
from Duluth. AS the runaway train
sped by the switch it struck caboose
and day coach on the siding, wrecked
them, and the fire started from the
oil lamps in the caboose. The point
where the wild train crashed into the
passenger was several hundred feet
away and it was two and a half hours
before the flames reached the main
wreck. Meanwhile frantic efforts were
made to take out the dead and injured
The wreck was piled high and wedged
into almost hopeless confusion, and in
spite of superhuman efforts the flames
burned their way to the wrecked cars
before the work was completed. J. H.

minutes. It was impossible to get at

of Denver, and Pullman Conductor
Whan were injured. The accident oc-
Cured at Lobato side track about 100
yards from the high bridge, five miles
east of Chama. Railroad men and
passengers alike are unable to explain
why the car turned over as the train

good condition and there was no
breakage before the accident. The
car was dragged about IS feet.
Mother Batiste was sitting on the
left side and the car turned to the
