RAILWAY WRECK INQUEST
CORONER'S VERDICT IN THE WAL
LACE BROS CIRCUS CASE.
Engineer Propst and the ShOwmen
Biamed-Air Brakes Refused to
Work Properly.

DURAND, Mich, Aug. 27.-The coroner's
inquest into the death of the twenty-five
persons who were killed in the wreck of
Wallace Brothers circus train on the
Grand Trunk Railroad on Aug. was con-
cluded to-day. Charles M. Propst, of Bat
tie Greek, Mich, engineer of the second
section of the circus train that crashed into
the rear of the train containing circus en-
ployes and animals, testified that he did all
in his power TO avoid the wreck, although
he did not look at the air gauge in the cab,
as he should have done. Other testimony
also showed that the train was not equipped
with available hand brakes and the brake
men could do nothing to aid in avoiding the
disaster. The jury rendered verdict that
the twenty-five men were killed in wreck
at Durand on Aug. as the result of rear
end collision on the Grand Trunk Railroad:
that the wreck was caused by the failure
of the air brakes to work on the second
section; that the wreck might have been
avoided If the engineer Charles NJ. Propst,
had watched the air gauge before him and
also if Wallace brothers had had their
cars properly equipped with hand brakes.

ceived his final discharge from the Pontiac

a States warrant had been issued for him.
Slade and Walton, two of the other defend
ants, were drunk. In cross-examinng Andy
Brown, a coal miner and a witness for the
defense, States Attorney Keeslar asked him
IL he had not told Lon Van Camp, of Grape
Creek, that he (Brown) had put the straw
under the dead negro to burn him. Andy
hung his head down, hesitated quite while,
and said he did not remember.

KOkOMO, Ind, Aug. 27-The committee
on gas will report adver sely on the propo-
sition of the Chicago Gas Company TO sup
ply Kokomo patrons at = cents thousand,
meter measurement. The proposition pro-
vides that patrons must pay 81 stove,
monthly, whether 5000 feet OF gas is con-
sumed or not, and that for each additional
1900 feet 25 cents must be paid. 1t Is also
stipulated that an additional charge of 3
cents per loo must be collected If bills are
not paid before the 10th of each month.
The council is opposed to the proposition
In its present form. and will reject it, The
company is still piping gas to Chicago but
claims that no contracts are being renewed
and that in short time Indiana gas in
Chicago will be thing Of the past. At
present it takes about half the gas to force
the other half to Chicago which is not
paying investment. Twenty-Five cents
thousand in Kokomo is better for the COM
pany than 80 cents i'm Chicago. The Coun-
Gil will vote for a 25-cent rate, if the OBJ
jectionable restrictions and limitations are
stricken out of the proposition.

THE MURDERED CONSUL.


THE MURDERED CONSUL.
William c. Magelessen. who is Scan
dinavian. was appointed vice consul at
Beirut Sept. 90 1899. by Consul Ga
briel Bic Ravndal. who is of the same
nationality. At the time of his appointment
as vice consul he was a consular clerk in
Turkey. Magelessen was appointed on the
recommendation of Senator Nelson. of
Minnesota, who says he was the son of a
Lutheran minister. He was born at Bars
burg Fillmore county, Minnesota.
Mr.. Magelssen was thirty years old. He
was educated in the common schools of
Minnesota and was a student of the Luther
an College at DEBORAH, Ia, for three years.
For a time he was assistant city assessor
of Sioux Falls, s. D., and also associate
editor of the Echo
Minister Leishman's cablegram was
dated Yesterday and stated that the as
ter being informed of the crime by Consul
Ravndak. The consul stated that the MUIR
derer was not seen and is not known.
The announcement of the assassination of
the American vice consul, following so soon
upon the assassination of a Russian consul
in Turkey, created strong comment i'm Of
fetal circles and the suggestion was made
that such frequent assassinations indicate
a very disturbed condition of affairs in the
Turkish dominions. Minister Leishman
gave no particulars of the assassination.
and the State Department has informa-
ton as to the cause OF the murder The
American government will insist that the
local authorities be punished il they were
derelict in their duty. and that full measure
OF punishment be given the actual perpe-
traitors of the outrage. In the absence of
particulars no motive can be ascribed for
the crime, and the State Department off,
Gals have no means of suggesting a theory
as Co why the vice consul should have been
killed. There have been no complaints about
him or his work. and the meager cablegram
conveys not the slightest suggestion of a
cause for the crime.

builders who gave the matter investigation,

the distance Is six miles, cheaper than they
could build here at the present high price
