Denver Jury-Bribery Case.

Denver, Aug. 16.-The contempt pro-
ceedings again Police Magistrate
Thomas and Bailiff Robert Schroeder
came to trial in the West Side Crimi-
nal Court yesterday. In the morning
George L. Adams, foreman of the jury
in the second trial of w. w. Anderson,
was examined by Anxious Curiae Har-
ry O'Bryan. cross-examined by Milton
Smith, attorney for the defendants,
and re-examined by Mr.. O'Bryan. In
the afternoon Jurors Jacob Dunn, Ger
guson Halle and J. r. Shoemaker, with
Carl H. Cochran, an attorney, went
through examination, cross-examina-
ton and re-eXamination. The court
asked a few questions of the wit
nesSes.
The direct examinations brought out
in detail the matter already made pub
lie in the affidavit of the Jurors. The
cross-examinations by the defense
gave witnesses opportunity to repeat
n good part of their testimony, gave
them opportunity to explain why they
had not reported to the court the al
legged attempt to bribe them to con-
vict Anderson, either to Judge Malone
or to Judge Mullins, and also gave op-
portunity for the defense to emphasize
the extraordinary behavior of the wit
nesses who preferred to keep secret
the attempts to bribe until they were
discharged from the jury room. -

|, STORM ON THE GULF COAST
,INFLICTS HEAVY DAMAGES

New Orleans, La, Aug. 15.-The
storm which has been sweeping the
Gulf coast from Pensacola and moving
westward during the past two days,
has prOstrated telegraph and telephone
wires 30 such an extent that news
from the outlying sections Is hard to
get. The gravest fears have been en-
tertained for the safety of the people
living at Port Eads. which is at the
mouth of the Mississippi river, and
for the ships that started for sea just
before the storm began.
The wires to Port Eads have been
Frustrated since Tuesday night at s
o'clock, but the Picayune reached a
man who left there at o'clock
Wednesday,. He was ut Burns, which
is sixty miles down the river, and the
farthest point with which there is
wire communications at the present.
This man describes the storm which
swept that section as Il regular tidal
wave, similar to the one which result
ed in such awful loss of life in 1898
He says all the people living on the
east bank of the river have moved up
to the Jump" which is fifteen miles
from the mouth of the river.
In the city of New Orleans and sub
urbs there has been some damage. At
Milneburg, one of the lake resorts, the
railroad pier head, running out into
the lake for 1000 yards. has been de-
stroyed and all light buildings demol-
ished. The big holdings on shore with
stood the gale.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 15.-The tropical
storm which has been raging along the
Gulf coast for two days has tonight
completely isolated the city of Mobile,
Alabama, from the outside world. 1t
is known that much damage has been
done along the water front in Mobile.
but whether there has been any loss of
life or not is mere conjecture. Moth
Ing has been heard from the country
south of Mobile up to the time the last
wire of Mobile failed.
At half past 4. this afternoon the
Western Union office in Mobile was
abandoned. the water at that time be-
Ing three feet deep in the operating
room.
Two hours later communication was
had for few minutes with Mobile.

EXPERIMENTING THE
LAST BUFFALO HERD

Buena Vista. Colo, Aug. 16.-Denver
Republican Special)-What is alleged
to have been n deliberate attempt to
kill off the few remaining lead of buff
falo in Colorado has just come to light
here.
Yesterday Game Warden George B.
Fravert of Leadville arrested Frank
Bartlett, Charles Bartlett, brothers, and
]. Z. Webb of this city. The first and
last named are taxidermists. and had
in their possession the hides, heads
and skeletons of four buffalo. The
men claimed the animals had been
killed six years, but the game wardens
do not admit this. Game Warden Har-
ris of Denver was also here in connec-
ton with the affair. The men were
taken to Leadville where they secured
their release on bonds.
Frank Bartlett had received word
that the officers were coming and at
tempted to escape, being overtaken on
the road nine miles from town. He
said he was on his way TO Leadville,
where he intended to give himself up.
The only buffalo ranging in Colorado
are in small bunch in Lost park,
thirty-five miles southeast of this city.
When n count of the bunch was made
last summer there were eighteen in it.

SAYINGS and DOIhdS
HoD the French 6tDiSfed the
BrfffSb Lions Gail,

. The Petit Bleu of Brussels publishes
an open letter from the Belgian his
torian, Barral. to Edmond Rostrand,
the author of "L'Aiglon," which
touches on a curious point of real or
alleged history. Rostand's wife is a
granddaughter of Marshal Gerard.
who in 1882 led French army through
Belgium.
The object of this letter is to ascer-
tain if Nine. Rostand has any papers
of her grandfather which may throw
light on the attack made by his troops
on the British Lion, which stands on
a hill at Waterloo. The French SOL
diers, it seems, endeavored to over
throw this insulting monument. and it
was all that the marshal could do to
prevent its destruction.
Now NJ. Barral has discovered that
though the British Lion is still there
its tail has been sadly twisted, and he
wants to know how and when.
The tall. once borne proudly aloft
flamboyant and aggressive, now trails
as Imply and tamely as that of the
harmless and necessary cat.
In the Brussels Museum is a plaster
cast marked Model of the Lion of
Waterloo" and this has an erected
tail. while the iron on the battle field
has a dropping one.
According to NJ. Barral's account, the
French soldiers broke off the lions
tail, which was subsequently replaced
by a new one or by the old one in a
new position.
NJ. Barral has also interrogated the
proprietors of the Belgian foundry
where the lion was cast about 1880
They state that the original model had
an elevated tail. and feel quite certain
that the cast was like unto 1t.

The Associated Press operator there
had made his way to the operating
room in n boat. He took up his posi-
ton on the top of the switchboard
several feet above the floor of the of
flee. and detaching the Associated
Press wire from its place on the board
sent this message:
"Am on top of the switchboard here
with a lineman. The water is over
three feet deep in this room, and is
still rising. The wind is blowing at
the rate of fifty miles an hour and we
look for worse things tonight. The
business district is deserted"
Here the wire failed, and nothing
more could be heard from him. al
though persistent efforts We're made.
The water at 3 p. IN. was reported as
high as in the great flood of 1893. al
though at that time the wind was not
as high.
From Mobile to Fort Morgan. dis
tance of thirty-five miles. and on both
sides Of the bay, summer resorts and
summer houses are located. These
were, 1t is believed. in the direct path
of the storm. The telegraph line to
Fort Morgan runs around the bay
through the country, and covers
eighty-five miles before it reaches the
government reservation.
1t Is feared that there has been loss
of life on some of the islands in Mis-
sissippi sound. located just outside the
bar below Fort Morgan. These islands
are inhabited by French fishermen
and are only about four or five feet
above the water under ordinary stages,
and there was great loss of life in
1893.
According to advices received in At
lanta the Louisville & Nashville rail
road has had washouts near Chef Men
tour. Lake Catherine, Lookout and
ltigoletta. Two miles of Louisville 4;
Nashville track through the Tensas
swamp, west of Mobile, is reported
under water.
All trains have been abandoned for
the present. Several bridges are re-
ported out of plumb.
The weather bureau here sent out
special warnings tonight, forecasting
high wind for Alabama tomorrow.

STEEL STRIKE CONTINUES
RUMORS OF PEACE OVERTURES

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 15.-Once more
efforts are afoot to settle the strike
being waged against tile United States
Steel Corporation by the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers,
but their success is ! roblematical.
Neither side will admit that there has
been a single step toward bringing
about n re-approachment, or that there
is any prospect of an exchange of
peace proposals.
b. NJ. Caldwell, formerly n mill own
er of Mingo Junction, is known to
have conferred with the strike leaders
with a view to sketching basis Of

fore the officials of the steel corpora
tion. He is believed to be the mysteri-
Gus man who conferred with President
Shaffer for more than two hours at
strike headquarters to-day, although
the latter said later that he had not
seen Mr. Caldwell for months. Both
sides vigorously denied that they had
either made Overtures or received pro-
posals, but 1t is known positively that
the plan is under consideration. Mr..
Caldwell is acting independently, and
does not represent either the manufac-
turers or the men.
No expression from him was obtain

J.P. MORGAN'S PLAN
FOR PROFIT SHARING

New York, Aug. 16.-The Press this
morning says:
J. Pierpont Morgan has planned the
greatest labor union of the age, a
union of labor and capital. Accord
ing to his plans, stock of the United
states corporation valued at several
millions of dollars at par has been set
aside for the purchase at inside fig
ures by the 165,OOO men employed by
the companies that make up the great
steel trust. 1t is contemplated to
form this co-partnership between the
shareholders and the employees of the
United States Steel corporation.
The plan was conceived before the
strike was thought of. and then it was
expected that it might be put in oper-
alton in two years. 1t required time to

Speed of Loeomorives eesred

A locomotive on the New Jersey
Central Railroad was recently tested
with train of nine coaches, and made
over three miles at the rate of eighty
two miles per hour, and these per-
formances can be repeated regularly.
This Is not to say, however, that the
average rate of speed of American
locomotives is over eighty miles per
hour, for 1t is very much less. but 1t
shows that they have a force in re-

gencies to make up lost time. The
