vANDALs SMASH DEADwOOD COACH.
I've SkyIarklng Government Clerks
Reduce Historic Vehicle to Kind

Many Notable Mem
cries.

Washington, March 22.-Ihe old
"Deadwood coach" thatiescsped holdups,
Indians, runaways and all sorts of battle
murder and sudden death for years and
carrie Presidents, pioneers and soldiers,
was smashed to kindling wood about mid
night last night by two skylarking Govern
ment clerks.
The clerks, William G. O'Brien and
Hamilton Conners, who are employed IN
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
were arrested while they were locking at
the result of their prank on the charge OF
destroying Government property and held
in $500 bonds each for trial tomorrow
morning.
The old coach was built in 1868 and is
said to be the first that carried tie United
States mails in Montana, running on
route between Helena and Bozeman
This trip took one week, while now the
railroads do it four times in one day.
In 1877 the stage was captured by the
Nez. .Perces Indians under Chief Joseph
and recaptured after long campaign %.

known to have used it in actual transpor
tation are President Garfield, Presiden
Arthur, who made trip in it in 1888, AM
General Sherman, while on tour OF In
spection in 1877 from Fort Aliceto Helena
Montana. On this occasion General Shei

SLEEPER IN LEAGUE WITH FATE.
Mrs. Reeve, Who Cannot Be AwakeSed,
Saw In,Her Dreams Many Fatalities
which Later BefeIl Her Friends
In the village.

Morrstown, n. j., March %. Friends
and relatives by the score have called at
The home Of Mrs. ]. M. Reeve, in Sue
casunna, since the publication of the re-
markable trance'i lin which she has fallen.
This is the fifth day Of the stupor and
there is no change in her condition. She
sleeps deeply and never moves a muscle
For some years Mrs. Reeve has been
subject to lapses of unconsciousness, but
they have never lasted more than few
hours at time. At such times on awak-
ening che has told strange tales Of hav'
Jig been in the spirit land and Of con-
versing with her departed husband.
These stories were always credited TO
dreams and yet Mrs. Reeve often told
remarkable facts after coming out Of
frances.
Once she saw in her dream the funeral
Of young woman then in perfect health
She told her daughter about it and said;
"Estelle Stark is going to die within
short time" The next day Miss Stark
was killed in the wreck OF the Hackensack
Meadows.
Aout year ago che told of vision in
which she saw seven men lying dead. She
was 30 sure that something dreadful was
going to happen that che spread the news
far and wide throughout the village. Two
days later the powder works blew up and
seven men we're killed.
Last Summer at Lake Hopatoong che
cav a young woman crossing the road and
remarked that it was the ace Of the
woman she had seen in dream the night
before and that the woman was about to
die. That plight Emma King committed
suicide and her body was taken to Sue
casunna. She was the woman whom Mrs.
Reeve saw in the road.

STRIKE FINDINGS PLEASE MINERS
Secretary Wilson, of United Mine Work
ers, Says Operators Could Have Set
tied for Less Before Men Went
Out.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 23.-W. b.
Wilson, secretary.treasurei OF the united
Mine Workers, reached his office here to-
dav from Pennsylvania and commented
freely upon the report of the Anthracite
Strike Commission. He declared that the
miners would have settled with the
anthracite operators before going on a
strike for great deal less than hey have
received from the commission. He ex-
messed himself as we'll pleased with the
finding. but the miners, he added, would
have acouiesced in the result no matter
what conclusion the commission had
reached
:'The stipulation that there must be no
discrimination" he continued, "by miners
or operators against workmen, whether
they belong to the miners organizations
or not. means that 5000 of our men who
are now Disseminated against by the
operators must be put back to work anc
we shall insist on this point"
Mr.. Wilson seemed to think that the
report of the commission on this poln
would be conclusive. He admitted tha
there might be difference at opinion or
the subject between the operators ant
miners, but believed that the miners
would secure their old places in the mines

The Shape of the Head Showed That the
Body Was That of Caucasian.
1t Had Evidently Been Pre-

Asheville, N. c., March 2l.-A per-
fectly preserved petrifed body OF white
man has been unearthed at Mills River.
The body was discovered by two negroes
whe we're digging a ditch on the farm OF
A. M. Sutton. One of the negroes took
freight as the upturned body lying In
the bottom of the ditch wa sexposed to
view andfook to his heels. The other neSr o
showed no signs of being frightened, and
began to uncover The remainder OF the
body, which was taken from the ditch
The remains showed intentions across
the shoulder, and slight sunken place in
the stomach. Other than those two i'm
perfections and broken toe by the labor
er's pick, the body was we'll preserved.
The finger and zoe nails, and even to the
veins on the arm we're plainly discernlble.
The general contour Of the head was con-
vncing that the petrifed body was that

Asheville to Mills River to see this re-
markable find, and your correspondent lie
informed that the petrl6ed body will be
brought to this city and placed on exhibit

men were of the opinion that the petrii-
cation was that of man who had been
killed and the body hidden to conceal the
crime. The posture of the body was that
of one prepared for burial. Theeyes were
closed and the arms placed across the
breast. There are two bullet holes about
three inches apart in the right shoulder

ROOT ON RATHBONE'S CHARGES
Saws They Are without Foundation and
No Action will be Taken.

Washington, March 23.-Secretary Root
today took official action on the charges
made by Estes g. Rathbone, against
Brigadier General Leonard Wood. He
made an endorsement on the papers say
ing that no answer to the charges was re-
ouired from General Wood, and no action
will be taken thereon; that it was known
to the Secretary of War that the charges
in every respect were without just founda'
ton.
The Secretary refers to the part taken
by the military governor in the postothce
cases in which Rathbone was defendant,
saving that General Wood, at every step,
bad the approval of the Secretary OF War,
and exercised only such control as was
necessary as military governor.
He refers to the game of Jaialai and de-
clares that the gift accepted by Gen. Wood
had no relation whatever to any official
action of his, but was part of the expires
sion of gratitude of the Cuban people to
ward the representative Of the United
States. To have refused the gift would
have been discourteous and unjustifable
The action of the customs officials in ref
erence to the gift, the Secretary says, was
strictly in accordance with the law and
official propriety. The endorsement closes
as follows:

RICHMOND LETTER.

Richmond, Va, March 22.-I am glad
to report that we won ouI fight for the
people of Buchanan against the Norfolk
lawyers, and made sure ttat our people
shall have the privilege of fighting to
finish in the court at Grundy instead OF
being forced to come to Richmond to de-
fend their homes.
The greatest battle Of the session is now
on i'm the Senate In relation to the laws
governing corporations. A bill has passed
the House which provides that railroads
may merge or consolidate into one gigantic
trust when the directors of the respective
companies shall so decide and majority
of the stockholders shall vote for consoll-
dation. The corporation committee has
only the power OF inspection to zee II the
action of the directors and stockholders ls
regular. The commission has DO oiscre-
ton in the premises. 1t is a mere figure
head in the proceedings. The General
Assembly itself is forbidden by the con-
stitution to pass any special law for or
against euch merger or consolidation, as
the case may demand. We are shut up
to the alternative Of passing general law
forbldding or permitting consolidation
Just what the outcome will be l cannot
at this time furesee. Much feeling is
shown in the fight. II the bill passes as it
came from the House our doom is sealed
We will never have a competing line OF
road in our part of Virginia. Verify, Old
Virginia has fallen on dangerous times
This is a critical period in her history If
this remal kable bill passes the Senate 1t
will not only place the railroads in position
to rob us Of our birthright, but will take
away the last blessing free people has to
defend themselves from the greed of mer-
ciless corporations. This is the hand OF
Esau but the voice of Jacob.
God save the Commonwealth.

FASTEST TRAIN IN WORLD.
To Run Between Norfolk and Richmond
Over the Norfolk and Western.

This paper noted yesterday the great
improvements being made on the Nor1olK

double tracks are being laid at cost oil
ten million dollars.
But not all the improvements are being
made on the track. The car service ls De-
ING STRENGTHENED in an equal degree, both
in the freight and the passenger depart
ments. Last year the road handled three
millions of passengers at an average 1are
of dollar each. The road is making
great efforts to secure and hold passenger
business. The equipment has been in'
proved by the addition to the service OF
standard Pennsylvania coaches, which are
models of comfort and excellence, and the
road is now operating excellent local ana
thorough service; in fact, the road claims
to be the best local service in the South'
There are Pullman cars of most modern
design on all through trains.
The road takes special pride in its service
besween Norfolk and Richmond, and the
announcement is made that it is to be
still further improved by cutting down the
time between Norfolk and Richmond to
two hours, which lie the first announce
ment of this schedule. The road claims
that this will be the fastest train in th'
world.
Specially designed engines are nov

Washington, March 21.-The first in
timation received by Secretary Hay OF
President Castro's resignation was given
him by the Associated Press dispatch
announcing the fact. He would not dis
cuss the matter, however, beyond stating
that the news was unexpected.
Herbert w. Bowen, Venezuela's pleni-
potentiary here, likewise had not been
informed until shown the dispatch. Un'
officially advised, he said he would be un-
able to give expression to any views on
the subject.
From an authoritative quarter, however,
it was learned that this move on the part
of President Castro has long been contem'
plated. Representations were made 10
him several months ago by the leaders OF
Venezuela that his resignation would have
the effect of enabling the people OF that
country to present a solid front to the
country to the matters in controversy with
theseveral powers. The statement was
made that the resignation is the result OF
secret agreement with the leaders referred
TO that President Castro should Temporal
rily relinquish his office pending the al
iustrnent of the matters which Mr.. Bowen
has in hand. 1t was intimated by the
Associated Press information that while
President Castro nominally gives up bis
Office, it is the intention to keep 1t within
the family by an arrangement to make
Castro vice president, so that he would
succeed to the presidency. 1t is the be-
lief here, based on information which has
been up to now kept invlolate, that the
present plan is to allow President Castro
to remain out of Office for short time and
re.elect him at the next election.
Secretary Hay tonight received a dis'
patch from Mr.. Russell, the United States
charge at Caracas, confirming the report
of President Castro's resignation Dut
stating that he doubted if the Venezuelan
congress would accept it.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
says:" What the Democratic party needs
in leader is not tactician like German
but a statesman like-well, like somebody
else." The trouble with the Democratic
party is that it has not for the past twenty
five years been producing any statesmen
like somebody else." Its policy has
been so uncertain and chAngeful as to
breed partisans and tacticians or tricksters'
not statesmen.
Our Democratic contemporaries are dis
posed TO accept the Barksdale Pure elec-
tions law as the assurance Of honest elec
tions in Virginia. We predict that they
will be mistaken, if some fCrciful measure
is not adopted by the Legi4laturel to pre-
vent ballot box stufing and tampering
with returns. AS long as We have partisan
electoral boards who appoint partisan cleo
tions officers, with law which afsrds un'
limited opportunities for frauds, we can
not expect to have honest elections. This
is especially true when partisan courts In
flict the most trivial punishment on men
who stuff ballot boxes, and when the
authorities make no effort to hunt dowr
and punish those who tamper with anc
faIsify returns. If the Democratic press
of Virginia is sincerly in favor of honest
elections, it should insist upon a strict and
non-partisan election law.
The Richmond News Leader, under th'
editorial head of "Three points Of View,
affirms that William Jennings Bryan hold
that "the Hon. Grover Cleveland ought t
be in Jail doing long term at this mo
ment;" that "the Honorable Grover Cleye
land is firmly convinced that the only saf'
and proper residence for the HONORABLE
William Jennings Bryan is a nice, PADDED
cell in pleasant, sequestered lunatlc asy
lum;" and that both Cleveland and Bryal
"are in accord that Mr.. Watterson is
crank and a nuisance" So, here we hav
our brilliant Democratic Free Lance con
temporary confessing that the most prom
inent leaders of the modern Democra
are charged with being should-be Ja
birds, lunatics and cranks. The masse
of the Democratic party have faithful
stood by these respective erratic Leaders
If the leaders have such an exalted opln
ion of each other, what opinion of eac
, other should be held by their reepectlv
admirers and followers2
