CHARGE MURDER TO SMITH
Held by Coroner to Answer for the shsstinl
Of Charles Edwards,
MEN HAD oUAaRtLEO EARLIER IN NIGHT
Three Boys who Were Talking will
Edwards Just Before the Shoot
ing the Principal Wit
nesses ut Inquest.

Coroner Treynor Of this city held an in
quest yesterday afternoon at Avoca. over
Charles Edwards, a colored man who was
shot and killed Thursday night at the Rock
Island depot, in that place. AS a result OF
the inquest, Irwin Smith, also colored, was
held on the charge of having killed Edwards.
Smith was locked up in the county jail at
Avoca.
The principal testimony at the inquest
was that Of three young white lads, who
we're sitting and talking with Edwards when
he was shot. They testified that they were
sitting on the platform Of the depot with
Edwards who told them that earlier In the
night he had trouble with another negro
named Irwin Smith, and that Smith had
struck him over the head with a piece OF
gas pipe, infiicting a severe wound. While
they we're talking a man appeared about
twenty feet in front of them and called out
rs that you, D. c." the nickname by which
Edwards was known by his friends. Before
Edwards had time to answer, the man shot
and Edwards started to his feet. Another
shot was fred and Edwards stumbled back
dead. The boys scattered and ran, and the
man who did the shooting also ran and dis
appeared up an alley.
The boys after going to a livery barn
and telling about the shooting returned to
the depot where Mayor HaZen had taken
charge of the body. Smith, who was carry
ing a bundle, also showed up at the depot
and looking at Edwards said Yes, that is
d. c. sure enough" The boys recognized
his voice as that Of the man who had ad-
dressed Edwards before shooting him and
they so informed Mayor Hazen, who ordered
Smith placed under arrest. Smith denied
shooting Edwards. The boys also testified
that the man who did the shooting carried
a bundle in one hand.
Edwards and Smith are we'll known to the
police, both OF this city and Omaha. About
three years ago Edwards and a colored wo-
man named frankie Fashion, we're arrested
for robbing a white man in an old rookery
on Broadway. The woman was convicted
and sent to the penitentiary, but the evil
dence against Edwards was lacking and he
was acquitted. The letter signed Frankie
found on Edwards at Avoca was supposedly
from this woman, as he is known to have
taken up with her after her release from
the penitentiary.
Smith was arrested in Council Bluffs a few
years ago, charged with being implicated
with another negro in robbing a white man
OF a gold watch. He was also arrested or
several occasions for vagrancy.

NO EFFECT IN THE SECOND
withdrawal of Speaker Henderson
Has Not Alarmed Republicans
In that Section of Iowa.

CLINTON, Ia, Sept. 19.-(Special.)-The
republicans of this, the Second Iowa dis
trict, are not alarmed in the least over
the Withdrawal of Speaker Henderson. In
fact, the action OF the speaker and the
discussion which has followed has stirred
up considerable enthusiasm, just what is
always needed in an off year.
Everybody is talking politics now and
each has his opinion and the result will
be much more interest in the campaign
than would have been had nothing oc-
CURED to arouse the people. Further
more, the republicans of the Second dis
trict, at least a large majority Of them,
favor a revision of the tariff and stand
on the Iowa platform.
1t is propable that there is not "a dis
trict in the state where the Iowa plat
form has more supporters than in the
Second. All of the republican papers, with
the exception of one, agree in every par
ticular with the Des Moines platform.
There will be no division in the district
and Mr.. Hoffman. the republican nominee,
will receive hearty support of every re-
publican.
Some Of the democratic papers CT the
district are publishing sensational stories
to the effect that there will be a split in
the republican ranks over the Henderson
withdrawal, but there is absolutely no foun-
dalton for such reports. These papers are
making every possible effort to stir up
friction, but in this they will be unsuc-
cessful.
The republicans Of the district feel
greatly encouraged over the present out
look. There is no question but Mr.. Hoff-
mar will put up a strong campaign. He
Is not as polished a man as the demo-
cratic nominee, but is a much better vote
getter. He especially attracts those liv-
ing in the rural districts and the work
ingmen. He is a plain, everyday man, and
at once impresses one with his honesty
and sterling worth.
Judge Wade, the democratic nominee, will
not be able to make friends among the
class alluded to like his opponent. Mr.
Wade Is a gifted orator, however, of the
polished and exclusive order, which will
prove Tepulsive to many Of the voters Of
the district. Mr.. Hoffman is a German
and speaks that language, and will be &
strong favorite among the many Germans
Of the district.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 1s.-Five men were
killed and two seriously injured as the
result Of a head-on collision between Buff
falo. Rochester & Pittsburg and Pittsburg
& Western passenger trains at Wilmer sta
tlon, on the Pittsburg & Western railroad,
about 10 o'clock today. A number Of pas
sengers were cut and bruised by flying
splinters and broken glass, but none we're
seriously hurt.
The dead:

WILLIAM BENEDICT, engineer of the
b. r. & p. train.
THOMAS E. DUGAN, fireman of the b.
r. & p. train.

H. 4. Chambers, engineer Of the p. 4 W.
train, taken to a hospital, may die.
c. W. Gresham, express messenger B. r.

The accident is alleged to be due to the
failure to flag the passenger trains. The
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg and the
Pittsburg & Western railroads occupy the
same tracks to Butler, Pa. About a half
mile this side Of Wilmer station is a long
curve. A freight train became disabled and
as work is being done on a new tunnel II
necessttated all trains being run on the

the trains were allowed to come together
instead of holding the lone until the other
had passed.

their discovery work in dead earnest.
 MT. Johnson states that they have had
 three impartial assays, the highest of
 which was about $45. This group is
 most favorably and conveniently sit
 uated and if it meets the modest ex- pectations of its promoters in the way of ore bodies, it will be a sure bo- nanZa.
 In concluding our mention of this district, which is necessarily abbrev- lated, it might be added that outside of the Easter Sunday, that district has not been scratched, most of the boys being so busy putting up monu-
 ments on Lew claims, they have no time to improve the old ones. The prevailing disposition is to just do enough to comply with the law and allow he Easter Sunday to do the
 rest. Just as many are doing so down in the Copper Glance district.
 An entirely new and refreshing, hough not startling piece of mining
 lews relates to the locating of group mining claims on the spur of the mountains terminating out on the des-
 ert like a finger pointing down to
 Naco. It is about eight miles west
 of Bisbee, about four miles north of
 Naco and about one mile from Naco
 Junction in the direction of Bisbee.
 The railroad, by running a cut 200
 feet long and about twelve feet deep
 in the deepest place. did some heavy development work bfore it was iocat ed In this cut the discovery was made, as it disclosed an immense iron
 cap resting on tale and covered with
 lime Harry Mccoy and company To-
 cated it, amounting to six claims
 since which time Davy Crockett and
 E. J. Curry of Naco have located re- spectable group joining it on the north. This group lays no claim to valuable mineral in sight, but consid ering the presence of iron and lime in
 the form and body exposed on these claims, along with the easily traces connection between the formation and i that of the Calumet properties. the
 owners have a right to consider it iattering proposition for capital or for
 any one in a position 10 develop them. They consider that the presence Of the mother" of valuable metals :n such abundance and without the met
 als in sight is vastly better proposi- l ton than an occasional hat full of or phan copper with no good foundation ! in sight. Cornelius Sullivan and
 Paddy Vail who are interested in the
 outcome of this group are on the ground doing the discovery work and
 eating good old camp grub between
 time. The Review man had the pleas
