WAS IN LOUISVILLE
RUFUS cANTRELL WENT THERE
 TO ROB GRAVES.
Says He Was Sent to Kentucky Metropolis by Medical College of Indianapolis-Says He
 Has Proof.

Indianapolis, Oct. 24.-A letter found
 today by the mother of Rufus Cantrell'
 one of the grave robbers. corroborates in
 q measure the statements of Cantrell that
 he went to Louisville to operate. Phy- sicians connected with the Louisville col
 leges said they had never heard Of Can trell and that he was not telling the truth. The letter Is dated Louisville, September 12 1900 is addressed to a prominent city official. and is signed by prominent physician of that city It reads as foi- lows: This will certify that bearer. Rufus J. Cantrell, came to Louisville on matter of business from medical college oi Indianapolis"
 About three weeks ago a party of h. dianapolis people went to Louisville to conduct a search for stolen bodies About twenty-hve bodies were found In the cold storate of an ice cream factory. but none of them was identified as having oeen stolen from Indianapolis cemeteries. The party, inclu ding detectives Ash and Manning, was told by physicians in Lou isville that Cantrell was not known there and had never been in the employ or the colleges.
 Cantrell has a different story to tell and shows his letter as evidence that he is telling the truth. He said he was re- commended by a letter signed by mem bers of the faculty of the Central Col lege of this city and went to Louisville
 to go into the grave robbing business,
 but that he was turned down on account of his color

ONE BANDIT
 ROBS TRAIN First Murders Engineer
 at His Post. GETS AWAY $l1H BOOTY
 fS Rifles yS1 Cars. and Dyna- '.'.es Express Safe. O 1s
GETS AWAY SlTH BOOTY
Boasts to the Terrorized Train Hands That It Was Not His First Experience-Blood-
 hounds on His Trail.

Missoula, Mont, Oct. A.-Eastbound passenger train No. on the Northern Pacific was held up last night near Drum mond. Mont. at a place forty-hve miles from this city and engineer Dan ONeill was killed. O'Neill had been in the ser vice of the road longer than any other engineer.
 The train, which consisted of mall, bag gage and express cars. with nine passen- ger coaches, left Missoula at 10:20 p. m. It arrived after midnight at place two miles west of Drummond. Here the train was signalled to stop and the engineer &C., cordingly slowed up. While doing so he saw a man creeping toward him over the tender. The man, who was armed, called to ONein to stop the train instantly
 The engineer took in the situation at once and pulled open the throttle, tried to start the train at full speed. The rob- ber divined his purpose and fired at him. The shot took instant effect and the en- gineer fell dead at his post. The robber then proceeded to rifle the express and mail cars. He plundered the regular mail and blew open the safe in the ex- press car which was wrecked by the ex- plosion.
 The Booty Unknown.
 The amount of plunder which he secur- ed is not known, but 1t Is supposed to be large.
 The excitement on the train was in tense. The sudden stoppage of the train. followed soon by the explosion, spread alarm among the train hands and the passengers The darkness of the night and the loneliness of the place added to the terror.
 Word of the attack was sent to Drum mond, whence 1t was telegraphed to Deer Lodge, fifty miles away. Bloodhounds were sent out at once and steps were taken to keep vigilant watch for the rob bers.
 It was assumed that at least eight men were engaged in the hold up. but the latest advices are that one man alone perpetrated the murder and robbery.
 Sheriff Prescott with a strong force of men started at once for the scene of the robbery on a special train. The coroner went with him.
 Dan O'Neill, the murdered engineer. liv- ed in this city and had a wife and five children.
 An Old Hand at It.
 The robber boasted that he took part in the hold-up of the Southern Pacific train near Portland, Ore. about a year ago. He made this boast to the train hands to terrorize them while he employ ed them to run the train for four miles, to a point two miles east of Drummond. He declared he would be hard to catch as he had a horse in the timber.
 Warden Conley of the Deer Lodge penitentiary is engaged in the pursuit with 
 bloodhounds.
 The Northern Pacific has offered re- ward of s. 900 for delivery. dead or alive of the robber and murderer.
 The masck worn by the bandit was found on a mountain trail two miles from the scene of the hold up and after giv- ing the hounds the. scent of the mask, the animals immediately took up the trail which was then eight hours old.

INDIAN COAL MINES.
Inspector Says the Workmen are
 in Danger.

Washington, Oct. A.--The annual re- port of the United States Mineing Inspec- tor for Indian Territory to the Secretary of the Intevior emphasizes the dangerous conditions surrounding the coal miners there and points to the fact that oil pro- duction has already had considerable ef- feet on the coal traffic.
 The largely increased number of open ings making a total of l30 has not been followed with the increased production of coal that might have been expected although that production has been in- creased to the extent of 350109 tons. Two reasons are advanced by the inspectors Tor this failure. viz: Lack of sufficient cars to transport the coal when coal was in greatest demand and a scarcity Of orders. largely Influenced by the prodnc- ton of oil in the Texas oil fields.
 The report expressed the belief that the Indian Territory coal fields are perhaps more dangerous than any other in the United States by reason of the character of the bituminous coal there. the me highly explosive carburated hydrogen, or fire damp and the treacherous character of the overlying strata under which the miners have to work. Most or the operators have suffered from lack or skilled miners.

CONDITIONS MORE NORMAL.
Production Yesterday Amounted to

vvilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. A.-There were tventy-two more mines in operation in the anthracite region today than yester- day ard the output will be close to lOO,OoO tons The total output yesterday did not ervceed 75OOO tons. When in full opera tion the mines employ in every capacity about 15, 900 men and boys. Of this num- her 1t is estimated that S2,oOO were at work today.
 A more amicable feeling prevailed to- aa, hetveen employer and employe. The a,Citement over the commencement of 1'orl. yesterday wore of today. There uas more work and less talk.

TROOPS ORDERED HOME.

Governor Stone Authorizes Wltn-
 drawal of the Militia.
 Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. A.-General orders for the withdrawal of the troops in the anthracite coal regions were issued by Governor Stone to Major General Miller today. The orders do not state the time and manner of withdrawing the troops but it Is expected that the State authori- ties will bring all of them home with the possible exception of two or three regi- ments before election day. This will avoid the necessity of appointing com mission to each regiment to take the vote of soldiers in the field and the prepara- tion of special forms of ballots.
 The prospects are that the troops sent into the region last July will be ordered home before those which were ordered on duty later. Major General Miller s headquarters are at Pottsville and the movements of the troops will be directed from there.
 Governor Stones orders to General Mil- Ter contains the following:
 'The purpose for which the division National Guard of Pennsylvania was placed on duty in the several counties of the State embraced within what Is known as the anthracite coal regions having been accomplished. and peace and order having been restored in the several com munities and it being evident that the local civil authorities will be enabled to preserve the peace and give the necessary and proper protection to life and proper >ty, the major general, commanding di- vision National Guard of Pennsylvania. will relieve the troops now on duty, and return the several organizations to their home rendezvous as soon as possible"

REcEIvEsB. T.wAsHINGTcN
Records of Reese and Bing-
 ham Topic of Discussion.
Believed That the President Is AhOt to Make Further Changes Among the Federal 0dice-
 holders.

Washington, Oct A.-(Special )-Presi- dent Roosevelt received Booker Washing ton this afternoon and the two were in confidential consultation for half an hour during which time the President denied himself to all other visitors. This fact attracted a great deal of attention, 1t be- ing known that the President Is denying interviews to all except official visitors. he being now engaged on an annual faes- sage to Congress.
 It was early given out semi -offlcially that the subject of discussion between the President and the Alabama negro ed- ucator was the general condition of the negro race. particularly as to the made quacy of educational facilities and spe- officially as to the need of funds by the Tuskegce school. The absurdity of this latter pretension was manifest when 1t was remembered that Booker Washing tons recent annual report showed a most healthy financial condition of his school.
 It was further said that Washington pleaded with President Roosevelt to visit Tuskegee in November. This is true, and the President gave conditional promise to visit Alabama before December, stop ping at Tuskegee on his way to Missis- sippi, where he desires to hunt bear.
 Some Recommendations.
 General outlines of his message are now complete, including recommenda- ton for a permanent court to suggest to Congress from time to time revision of the tariff, and also additional legislation as to trusts, with a plea for constitu- tional amendment giving Congress great CT power in this direction.
 It is not improbable that the President will be in Alabama within the next thirty days.
 The main point of Southern interest, however is that the President undoubt- edly discussed with Booker Washington the live issue of Federal patronage in Alabama. with special reference to lilly white" movement. It Is known here that In the removal of District Attorney | Vaughan and the appointment of Judge Roulhac a Democrat, to the vacancy. the President played high politics success fully, and with the best possible excuse namely the eternal pickering amongst Alabama Republican leaders. He rehuk- ed them and at the same time bound ne- gro voters in doubtful States to Repub- licarI tickets for the November election The belief here Is that the President is about to make further changes in Ala bama, and 1t need surprise no one If Dis trict Attorney Reese at Montgomery, and Internal Revenue Collector Bingham at Birmingham. are asked to go within the next ten days. There need not be any doubt that the President advised with Booker Washington as to these two off, cials. Quite probably Dr. Hughes. post master of Birmingham. is in the same category.
 Meantime there are two facts needful xa hn Lnn nnNknr Wa ahinU nUt0n did not secure the appointment of Judge Rolhac, nor did he year ago, bring about the appointment of Judge Thomas c. Jones.
 Washington made a great speech here this afternoon at the opening of negro school on P Street.
