No UnseemIv Rehavio

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 21.-The city
of Colon was perfectly quiet all yes
terday and last night 1t is claimed
On behalf of the Liberals that there
has been no unseemly behavior. For
e1gners are being respected and
protected and their transit across the
1sthmus is uninterrupted.
The pOstOffice, prefecture, all the
other government offices and nearly
all the commercial houses were closed
yesterday.
Colonel Barrera, commander of the
Liberal forces, asserts that he has no.
titled the district representative OF
the department of the interior and
other former officials of the govern
ment that he has appointed a com
mission to take over their offices for
mally today. Senor EsperilIa, a prom
inent lawyer and counsel for the Pan.
ANA railroad, is a member of the com
mission. The feeling of the commu.
nifty cannot be regarded as antagonis-
tic to Liberalism. The existing con
dittons have created no panic, but
with the Liberals holding Colon while
the Conservatives are in possession of
Panama creates a state of affairs
which cannot possibly continue.

Columbus, Ca, Nov. 21.-What came
near being serious accident to the
Central of Georgia passenger train en-
route from Andalusia, Ala, to Colum-
bus occurred 5 miles below Hurtsboro
last night.
With loud snap the big driving rod

when the train was running at fast
rate of speed. The negro fireman re-
ceiving the intimation that something
was wrong, jumped from the cab back
into the tender just before the acci-
dent occurred. Engineer Jeff Thomas
Oh seeing the negro leap, walked out
on the running board of the engine to
the front end, and as he did so the big
steel driving rod flew up and demol
ished the entire left side of the cab.
Had the two men been in the cab
they would probably have been killed
The train came into Columbus with
one driver.

mace Threw Himself Into Flames.
Pittsburg, Nov 21-A few moments
after midnight an unknown man threw
himself headlong into one of the fur
naces at Scoenberger's mills Four
teenth and Elna streets. Almost his
entire body was roasted beyond iden,
tification, his left foot being the only
part not disfigured.
A few moments before midnight the
man was seen to enter the millyards
and stand at the foot of the hOisting
car which carries ore, coke and other
supplies for the furnace. The mo-
ment that warning sounded for the
cage to ascend with it's burden three
workmen saw the suicide jump on the
platform and stand within few feet
of them. They were confused and
did not know what to think of him,
as no one but employees is allowed on
these cages
When the top of the furnace was
reached, nearly 100 feet from the level,
Thomas Lee determined to order him
away. The huge crib was opened to
allow the car of coke to roll into the
furnace anG the bell was lifted, throw
ing a terrific heat from the fiery sub
stance underneath. Lee had not had
time to open his mouth when the man
threw himself headlong into the fur
mace. Quick as a flash Lee saw the
action and dropped the bell, but all
too late. The man was buried head
and shoulders in the flames. The lid
of the bell caught his left foot, saving
only it from being consumed. He was
pulled out by the three men, but near
ly every part of his body resembIed
a piece of half cooked meat
No one can remember of ever hav.
ing seen him before, and it is proba.
BILE he will never be identified. The
body was removed to the morgue. The
man was about 35 years old, medium
height, sandy mustache and apparent.
ly an American. He wore black laced
shoes.

Meauer Reports at Denver.


Denver, Nov. 21.-Only a meager re.
port concerning the disastrous fire at
the Smuggler-Union mine, near Tellu.
ride, Colo, has been received at the
local Office of the company. 1t is not
known here this morning whether the
loss of life will reach 100, as feared,
or whether any bodies have been
found in addition to the % which were
recovered and identified last night.
The damage caused by the fire in the
loss Of buildings is estimated at $18,.
600, but the mine will have to be
closed for at least a month.
Did Not Possess Safeguard.
The mouth of Bullion tunnel through
which the Smuggler-Unidn mines are
worked is located not over 56 or go
feet from the burned buildings. The
smoke from the start seemed to be
drawn to the mouth of the tunnel and
concentrated at that point as if there
were no other place of escape. This
was due to suction, as the air in the
mine was warmer than that outside
On account of the suction movement
the majority of the mine and tunnel
entrances have iron doors ready to
lower in place at a minutes notice to
stop smoke or fire. Unfortunately the
Bullion tunnel did not possess one of
the safeguards. 1t appears that much
of the stupefying effect OF the fire was
due to the flames IN the converter
house, which was saturated with oil
and filled with the darkest smoke i'm.
aginable.
The tunnel is situated about mid
way between the top or apex of the
mine and the ninth level. 1t is an in.
termediate working tunnel. The sew.
enth level is 1850 feet below the sur.
face and the ninth level, where be.
tween 75 and 95 men were working
when the fire occurred. was $50 feet
below the surface.
Less of Life Due to Smoke.
AT last accounts alI attempts to ex.
plore this level had been frustrated
by the smoke. Seventeen of the %
bodies recovered were found in the
seventh level The fire did not pene-
trate the mine workings and the
frightful loss OF life was due entirely
to smoke
The mine was originally owned by
a company of which John Porter, OF
this city, was president and A. H.
Fowler secretary and treasurer. About
two years ago the mine, with mum
Der of others in the same locality,
was absorbed by the New England
Exploration company, Of which Mr..
Frederick Lawrence is now the prin.
cipal head and stockholder. The New
England company is controlled by Bos-
ton capitalists Mr. Lawrence went

Swainsboro, Ca, Nov. 21.-Lewis
Canady and Jim Coleman, two white
men, were attacked by a crowd of
drunken negroes while out driving
Tuesday afternoon. One of the ne
groes, Allen Bryan, hallooed and start

Coleman got out of his buggy un-
armed, and the negro fired twice, both
balls striking Coleman in the stom-

Canady jumped from the buggy to
try to help Coleman and caught the
negro and cut him on the neck. The
negro jerked loose from Canady and
turned and shot him twice, one ball
entering the arm and one the side.
Canady's wounds are only flesh

gerous, but physicians say Coleman
cannot live.

From the highest source of infor.

Those who have recently been driv-

himself recklessly in the hunting field
and by shooting hour after hour in
the wind and rain.
Those recently with him assert
that he has no throat ailment what.
