BATTLE IN VENEZUELA.
Desperate Fighting Near I'm Victoria
between the Forces of Presiden
(nsirO nnd tho ReYOIufIOnIsts

| NIllemStadt, Island of Curacao,
oct. l6.-News has been received here
from Caracas that the battle near
La Victoria between forces of Presi-
dent Castro. numbering 400 men,
with - guns, and the Venezuelan
revoIutiOnists, which began Monday
| morning, has so far been without def
nitc results.
Gen. Mates, leader of the revolu-
tion, and Gen. Mendoza were not
present. The only rebel generals en-
gagged were Guevara, Torres, Crespo
and Antonio Fernandez, who had
with them about 3, 100 men, represent
ing the advance guard of the rcvolu-
tionistS.
President Castro twice led a charge
in person and showed great courage
and GOODNESS. His lieutenant, Gen. Al
cantara, who was at one time at the
West Point military academy, was
MORALLY wounded. The government
forces had PAT men killed, while the
revoiutionists lost 80 men. Among
the latter was Gen. Guevara.
The arrival at the scene of battle
at o'clock Monday afternoon of
Vice President Gomez with 500 men
and large amount of ammunition
saved the situation for the govern
ment. At that time the odds were
greatly against President Castro, but
the arrival of reinforcements i'm
proved his position. Monday night
the revolutionists still retained their
positions.
The fight started again Tuesday,
and at 10 o'clock in the morning Cas-
tro retired to La Victoria.
News of the engagement having
reached Gems. Matos and Mendoza,
they hastened to the scene and ar
rived at a point near La Victoria on
Tuesday with the rest of the revolu-
tionary army which now numbers
about 5000 men.
President Castro appears 10 be sur
rounded by enemies. The town of FL
Consejo, which lies back of La Vic
toria, is occupied by the revolution
lists.
Caracas, Oct. 17.-The battle near
La Victoria, started again yesterday
morning. According to government
reports received here, the revolutions
lists are said to be losing the posi-
tions they gained at Suji Wednes-
day, and this notwithstanding the
fact that the government is short of

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
a New Yorker Kills Two Men In n
Law OMlce and Then Suicides.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Using a new
automatic magazine pistol, William c.
Turner, former president and treas
urer OF the Climax Bottling Co., yes
terday shot and killed w. j. Mallard.
secretary and treasurer Of the com
pany, and Robert Hamilton, its presi-
dent, and then killed himself with the
same weapon. \ second revolver,
loaded in every chamber, was found
in Turner's pocket, and it is believed
he planned to take more lives than
he did.
The shooting was caused by n quar-
rel between the three men over an al
legged shortage in Turner's accounts,
for which he was threatened with
criminal prosecution. The tragedy
occurred in the offices of the law firm
of Cantor, Adams & Mcintyre. in the
heart of the Wall street district, dur
ing the noon hour.
All of the principals in the contro-
verSy were married. Mallard was So
years old, native of Atlanta, Ga.
where he was we'll known. He was
president of the Young Mems Demo-
cratic club there. He had been in
this city about four years and lived
with his wife and children in an up
town fiat. Mr.. Hamilton lived in
Pittsburg, where he was president of
the j, T. and II. \. Hamilton glass
factories. He was about go years old.
He arrived in this city Thursday in
response TO a telegram from Turner
received at Pittsburg, which said:
'Meet me in New York Friday and
I will settle with you"
The three men met in the law office
by appointment to allow Turner to
make a partial settlement and he was
asked for certified check. II have

AN AWFUL CRASH.
1--WE Trains Collide on the yandaIin
Road-TwO Men Killed and Three
Badly lDjured.

indianapolis. Oct. "a westbound
passenger train on the Nandalia rail
road and the Terre Haute and Indian
apoliS accommodation train coIded
at Reelsville, eight miles west of here,
Wednesday afternoon, killing two
men and seriously injuring three 9TH
ers. The dead:
Fred II. Hermson, mail clerk,
GreenCaStle.
An unknown man who was stealing
a ride on the baggage car.
Seriously injured: Al Hedding, In
dianapoIis, engineer, will die.
- Boyd, Richmond, mail clerk,
hurt internally, may die.
Jesse Kennedy, mail clerk, Indian
Rpolis, both legs broken.
As far as can be ascertained the
wreck was due to the failure of ths
agent at Harmony to deliver an order
to the accommodation, which left
there on the time of the other train.
When the trains collided both were
running at full speed. The two train
crews jumped. Fred II. Hermson,
mail clerk, was buried beneath the
debris of his ear and was killed al
most instantly. Mail Clerk Boyd, on
the accommodation, was probably
fatally injured while attempting to
Jump.

QUICKLY DONE.
Negro Murderer Tried and Executed
In One Day, at NacogdOches, Tex.

Naco2doches, TEX, Oct. 1s.-,Jim
+ buchanan, cOlored, the murderer of
/ the Hicks family was tried here Fri
1 day, plea of guilty was accepted by
/ the judge and the negro was legally
| hanged within two hours after SEN
| tence had been passed. Buchanan
was brought here under the protec-
ton of five companies of militia. lie
was Immediately turned over to Sher-
| itf Spradley, who told the people that
he would be given speedy trial
| The town began to fill up rapidly and
the excitement was intense.
The telegraph wires were cut, the
railroad tracks were torn up for "A
short distance and it was announced
that an attempt would be made to
get possession of Buchanan. District
court was at once convened. a Jury
was impaneled without delay and the
negro's plea of guilty was accepted
by the court. The judge ordered that
the death sentence be executed No.
vember II, but many people an
nounced that they would have no de-
lay. buchanan then waived the 80
days allowed by law and was hanged
by Sheriff Spradley in the Jail yard
in the presence of a large crowd.
Ten days ago the dead bodies of
Farmer Hicks, his wife and daughter
were found in the Hicks home. Sher-
if Spradley began a search for the
murderer. \ week later Jim Buchan-
an was arrested and confessed to the
murder. The news of the negro's CON
fession spread rapidly and a mob Of
several hundred people marched al
ter the sheriff and his deputies with
the intention of securing possession
of the negro and burning him at the
stake. Sheriff Spradley and his depu-
ties refused to give over the prisoner
and later they were joined by Sheriff
Bowers, of San Augustine county.
The two officers through a ruse
finally succeeded in spiriting the ne
gro away to the Jail at Shreveport.
buchanan was next taken to the Jail
at Henderson and company of mi
litia was ordered out to protect the
negro from violence. 4 mob formed
and it was feared a collision with the
troops would result in serious blood
shed. Two more companies of militia
were sent to Henderson and yestcr-
day when the negro arrived he was
guarded by five companies of militia.

DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT
settlement Of Coal Strike Removes
Only Serious Handicap TO industrial
PropresS

New York, Oct. 1S.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
settlement of the coal strike re-
moves the only serious handicap to
industrial progress. Five months of
restricted fuel production had begun
| To check the wheels at many manu-
1acturlng centerS, while there was a
| perceptiDlc diminutiOn in consunp-
tive demands as the purchasing pow
| efS OF the wage carners steadily de-
creased. Savings have been exhaust
ed and much money has gone out of
the country because of this struggle
but the nations remarkably strong
position assures speedy restoration
OF prosperous conditions
transportation is now the worst
feature, and threatens to continue
disturbing. While the grain crops
are being moved the supply of rolling
stock and motive power will prove in
sufficient, although every effort is
made at the shops, liberal premiums
beIng offered for early delivery. That
the railways are we'll occupied is evil
denced by earnings for the first week
OF October, 3.5 per cent. larger than
last year.
inadequate supplies of fuel caused
further banking of furnaces. but IT,,
effect of decreased output of do
nestle pig iron has been partially
neutralized by larger arrivals from
abroad. Practically no price can be
named for immediate delivery of
home iron, and there is no disposition
to make concessions on distant CON
tracts, owing to the abnormal coke
situation. Fortunately there has been
little interruption at finishing mills.
and the output of rails, structural
material and kindred lines is well
maintained. Consumers not only find
difficulty in securing steel from the
mills, but encounter further DELAY
on the railways, which are unable to
handle freight promptly.
Footwear shops are actively en-
gagged, many producers having added
to their long lists of orders, and
practically all the New England
manufacturers are assured full time
up to the end of the year.
In cotton goods the feature was a
purchase of about 100000 pieces of
print cloths. While quotations were
not altered, the market became de-
cidedly firmer.
