DROWNED IN A BUGGY,
THE HORSE BACKS OFF A BRIDGE
WHERE THERE ARE NO
GUARD RAILS.

Hackensack N J.. Aug. > (SpeciaD.-An un-
usual drowning fatality occurred on the tenn
porary bridge the Hackensack River at
Little Ferry about ) o'clock this afternoon,
when Francis Knapp. proprietor of the Cot
tage Hotel. of Hackensack. and his four-year-
old son backed off the bridge in their
buggy and drowned.
The Bergen Turnpike Traction Company has
for months been busy at this point building
big girder drawbrdge over the river. The COM
pany is about TO run a trolley line the turn
pike, and a bridge deemed necessary
The American Bridge Company has charge Of
the iron work, and Sandford & Harris, con-
tractors. of Jersey City. have had charge of
the temporary structure The temporary draw
is only wide enough TO permit wagon 10
cross at a time but the approach is just about
wide enough 10 allow wagons to pass. There
were no guards on either side of the bridge to-
day, and when Knapp's horse backed up. after
becoming restless at the wait for brick wagon
to cross the draw, there wac nothing TO hinder
it from going off the bridge.
Wallace Thompson. one of the watchmen on
the bridge, was a witness OF the accident, and
he dived into the water. hoping to be able TO
rescue the hotel proprietor or his child, but
neither reappeared at the surface. and Thomp-
gave up his task. IL is believed that the
horse crushed the occupants as they sank to
the Nottom and rendered them unconscious
The fathers body was recovered at $50 D. m.
There was intense feeling among the hun
dreds Of people who assembled on the bridge
10 watch the work of dragging for the bodies.
and the contractors were condemned in very
severe language. Coroner Curry looked over the
ground himself and observed that there was no
protection on either side OF the bridge. despite
the fact that there is twenty five feet OF water
where Knapp and his were drowned An
inquest will Dc held on Thursday night.
Francis Knapp about forty-fve years old
and was we'll known here. His wife died sud
denly about two months ago. living but a few
hours after being stricken with smallpox A
dauF-ter fourteen years old, is the only sur
vivor of the family.

TWO GENERALS SHOT,
VIDAL AND LACROIX EXECUTED BY
COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT.

Panama, Aug. 5.-The revolutionary Generals
Antonio Suarez Lacroix and Juan Vidal and
Colonel Julian Lecama, who were sentenced to
ment representatives. have been shot and killed
at Barrigona Camp. which is situated between
Honda and Ambalena, on the Magdalena River
Other revolutionists were condemned by the
same court to various terms of imprisonment,
the longest of which is for twenty-five years
Antonio Suarez Lacroix belonged to one OF
the Oldest and richest families of Colombia. He
was a born fighter, and in the Cuban revolution
he fought for two years with General Maxmo
Gomez Before he was shot he said: -Four in
dividuals from Bogota responsible for the
sacrifice of our lives, and perhaps for those of
many others"
In a letter written to the United States four
day before his death and before he was capt
ured by government forces, General Lacroix
said he would not surrender, because of the ad-
mirable position of the revolution through the
country
ceived a telegram from the Colombian Minister
of War General Aristides Fernandez. saying the
recent amnesty decree issued by the President of
the republic under which all the constitutional
guarantees were granted to those revolutionists
who surrendered within specified time has re-
suited in making few members of the Liberal
party believe in the weakness OF the govern
ment.
AT Palma band of revolutionists refused to
submit to the government and General Perdomo
with a strong force was sent against them. The
lists, and after a hard resistance. the latter
men CAPTURED.

Shenandoah Penn, Aug. 5.-Serious outbreaks
during the night and this morning indicate that
there is great danger of a conflict between the

the strikers. which may end in much bloodshed
The spirit of resistance to the troops is rising
rapidly. the men are bolder in their contact with

So serious is the condition that to-day the Bur

threw up their hands, admitted they could not
cope with the situation and asked General Go

This was equivalent to an invitation TO declare

COAL MINERS STRIKE
Ranks of the Strikers Slightly
Augmented.
THE ANTHRACITE REGION IS QUIET
W One or Two Instances Operators
Were Compelled TO shut Down
Their Pumps-Fcw Nonunion
Men Employed.

WILKESBARRE Pa, June A.
There are no new developments or in
cldents of special mention in the an
thracite coal miners strike. The mine
workers are trying hard to bring out
additional engineers, firemen and
pump runners and the companies are
equally earnest in their efforts to hold
the employees that have been loyal to
them. The union has succeeded in get
ting out quite number of men, and
the labor leaders assert that they are
satisfied with the work done. One or
two collieries have been compelled to
shut down their pumps because of a
lack of men, but in all other cases the
operators were able to fill the vacan-
cies by drawing on their reserve force
of office and other employees. The
mine owners. claim that thus far they
have employed very few nonunion
men and have plenty of workers to
draw on.
The entire coal belt remains conf
paratively quiet, although disturb
ances of minor nature are becoming
more frequent. These affairs are in
the nature of demonstrations ranging
in numbers from about dozen per-
sons up to about 100. At Miners Mills
last evening men and women gathered
on the street corners and hooted the
men that came from the mines TO go to
their homes. At Plymouth also there
was small demonstration against
those still working at the engines and
pumps in the collieries there. About
100 men, women and children followed
the workers to their homes, calling
them opprObrious names all along the
way. Many of the workers who go to
to their homes are accompanied by
coal and iron policemen. The latter
have been cautioned not to notice the
actions of the crowds unless they at
tempt to do the men bodily harm. In
nearly every colliery temporary living
quarters have been provided for those
employees who do not care to leave the
place. Colored cooks are being brought
into the region to provide for these

Explorers Return to Fort dc France
From Mont Pc1cc.

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique.
June 4.-George KEENAN,. accompanied
by Professor Heilprin and Messrs. JAG
caci and Varlan, has arrived here after
an absence of twelve days.
Professor Heilprin Mr.. KEENAN, and
Mr.. Naran have ascended Mont Pelee.
Whey stood on the very edge of the era
fer and looked down on the incandes-
cent mass within. This ascent was
made last Sunday, and it was the sec
ond time Professor Heilprin climbed
the mountain. All the explorers are in
perfect health and good spirits. No
accident occurred on the trip up the
mountain, although the explorers were
exposed to many hardships and dan
gers. In an interview with a CORE
spondent Mr.. Kennan said:
81 must preface all have to say by
paying the highest possible tribute to
Professor Heilprin. He Is modest and
brave, a superb mountaineer and the
nerviest and pluckiest man I ever saw.
Professor Heilprins first ascent of
Mont Pelee last Saturday with Mr..
Leadbetter was a most awful expert
ence, yet he started a second time un-
daunted.
give of us started for the crater Of
the volcano last Sunday, and three of
us reached our objective. We crossed
Lake Palmiste, which is now dry and
full of powders and huge, ragged
rocks of trachyte, rhyolite and ande-
site. We then climbed on up and
reached the edge of the crater. We
found it to be n huge chasm, or Gre
vase, with perpendicular walls.
1--WE could not see down into the
crater more than $50 feet 1t was like
looking into white hot furnace. The
chasm opens out toward st. Pierre, but
the enormous columns of steam cut off
the view in that direction. There were
hundreds of fumaroles all about us.
| What was thought to be a cone of Gin
| Gers in the crater we learned in reality
| to be a huge pile of gigantic rocks
| piled up one upon the other. There
| were crusts of sulphur everywhere,
| but we saw no ashes or cinders in or
near the crater. The whole vast bed
of the old crater and of Lake Palmiste
is emitting steam through thousands
| Of orifces.
