MOTHER AND SON KILLED
Fast Mail Train on the Northwest
ern CoIlides With Buggy Near
Colo, Killing Mrs. Lounsberry ard
Son.

Colo, July 20.-Two persons were in
stantly killed here yesterday by the
collision of fast passenger train No.
3 with a buggy. The dead are:
Mrs. Roxie Lounsberry, aged 45, and
Frank Loupsberry, aged II.
The accident occurred at the cross
ing and the couple, another and son,
were instantly killed. The horse was
also instantly killed and the buggy the
couple Were in was completely de-
molished.
Mrs. Lounsberry lived two miles
from this place and had been attend
ing church here with her son. After
the service they had started to drive
home when the accident occurred.
The train, which is one of the fast
est ones on the Northwestern, was
about three hours late, and for this
reason probably, the occupants of the
buggy were not expecting or looking
for it when they approached the cross
ing.
1t is claimed by trainmen, however,
that they were not running more than
40 or so miles an hour. The train
was stopped within forty yards after
striking the buggy. They found the
body of the boy lying on the pilot of
the engine His skuD was badly
crushed. The mother was found lying
on the ground about 160 feet west of
the spot where the buggy was struck.
Every bone in her body was broken.
The coroner was called and is holding
an inquest over the bodies.

From United States.
MATTER is NOW AT AN END
Considers the kishenev Affair an In
ternal One in Which She Must Re-
fuse to Receive Suggestions from
Any Outside Source.

Washington, July 16.-The Jewish
petition laid before the president by
the B'Nai Birth committee has
reached here and Secretary Hay has
communicated by cable with Mr.. Rid
die, the American charge daffairs at
st. Petersburg, respecting the means
to be employed in bringing it to the
attention of the czar. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Riddles instructions are to
notify the Russian government of the
existence of the petition and ascertain
whether it is willing to receive it. The
Jewish committee, it is stated, is en-
tirely satisfied with the plans framed
by the president and Secretary Hay
for the presentation of the matter TO
the Russian government. No further
announcement will be made here until
Mr.. Riddle has been heard from.

ed last night that the state depart.
ment he's received a reply from Rus
STA stating that it nerlner would re-
ceive nor consider the matter of the
Jewish petition on the subject of the
Kisheney incident. This information
came in the form of cablegram from
Mr.. Riddle, the American charge at
st. Petersburg, to whom was commit
ted the delicate task of inquiring of
the Russian government as to its at.
titude with respect to the presentation
of the petition. II is believed that Thu,

Their steps will be taken by THIS gov
eminent to bring the matter to the at
tention of Russia, although as yet no
consideration has been given by the
president to the course to be pursued
in the light of Russia's response to our
inquiry.
The reply that Russia would make to
all suggestions on the subject of the
Kishenev massacre was forecasted
very clearly by the Associated Press
in an authorized statement when the
public was definitely informed that
Russia regarded the affair as an inter-
nal matter as to which she in the ex-
ercise of her sovereignty must refuse
to receive suggestions from any other
government or outside source

MORE POSTAL FRAUDS.
Cash Registers Contracted For al
$3.50 Were Selling at SIPS.

Washington, July 20.--It has devel
oped that the total number of the ma
chimes supplied to the postoffice de.
partment by the fraudulent Auto
matte Cashier company of WATERFOWL
Wis, was SGT. The inspectors have
evidence of this, although the present
action of the grand jury in Brooklyn
in indicting Geo. W. Beavers Is based
on information in the possession of the
government for each machine, the
contracting company received $50
while 500 went for commission, OF
which amount the agent of the com
pany received $50. The cash registers
were sold openly in the market
throughout the country for SIPS,
while the government paid $3.50 each.
There was slight change in the con.
struction of the machines sold in the
open market and those sold to the
government, but the inspectors say
this change was trivial and the cost
insignificant. The supply of the mach.
ines date back to the latter part OF
1897, when the first machine were fur.

The contract for the ESQ machines
at $3.50 was entered into May 8, 1898.

.POPE'S DEATH Is IMMINENT
Grows Weaker With the Passing Of
Each Hour,

Rome, July 19.-The pope lies to-
night in a state of coma, and there are
grave doubts in the minds of his doc
tors whether he will ever completely
emerge. His immediate dissolution
seems to be only averted by the reli-
ability of the action of his heart. His
pulse, though weak, continues steady.
Shortly before midnight, DR.. Lapponi
said to the correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press:
The pope at the present moment is
in aNstate of coma, which may be
called a condition preceding the last
agony, the duration of which IL is pos
sible to forecast, although everything
leads to the belief that this condition
cannot last. To be more exact, he is
still in state of torpor and stupor,
from which, however, he rouses occa-
sionally when he hears sharp sounds
as, for instance, the insistent voice of
enc of his familiars calling loudly to
him. Left alone he relapses immedi-
ately into condition of torpor. At
intervals he murmurs in his sleep,
continuing to have forebodings that he
is being abandoned by his valet, Gen.
ira, and myself. These are the symp-
toms of incipient cerebral anemia and
general exhaustion. He can no longer
turn in his bed without assistance and
is being kept alive by artificial stimu-
lants. During the last twenty-three
hours he has had two injections Of
camphorated oil, three of caffeine, and
two hypodermics of salt water, besides
drinking stimulants."
Monsignor Bislotti, master of the
popes chamber, said earlier in the
evening that the pulse of his holiness
had noe shown any signs of becom-
ing intermittent, so, despite his ex-
IRENE weakness and coma, he believed
the pope would survive the night and
possibly tomorrow.
Both the Italian government and
the authorities of the vatican have
made final preparations for the pope's
death. The government is rigidly GEN.
soring all kilograms and telephone
communications between Italy and the
rest OF the continent. At this hour
but few people remain at the vatican.
DIR. Mazzoni and DR.. Rossoni and the
cardinals have gone to their homes to
await the last urgent summons.
Rome, July 20.-4:05 a. m.-When
the pope is called by his attendants he
still makes a great effort to arouse
himself from the torpor into which he
has sunk, but he is soon again over.

Russia Makes Promises Which
Will Practically Settle the
Manchurian Affair.
PORTS ARE TO BE OPENED
Arrangement Is Satisfactory to Both
the United States and Japan-Rus.
sia Will Not in Any Way Oppose
Opening of Ports.

Washington, July 1.-THE Manchu-
rian question has been settled salts
factorily to this government Assnr-
ance have been received from the Chi
nese government that 1t will in the
near future open as treaty ports sew
eral ports now closed to the worlds
trade. The Russian government has
conveyed assurances to the United
States government that 1t will not in
any way oppose such opening. While
the ports to be opened are not yet spe-
Gifted, it is gathered from the commun-
ications received that they are Mouk-'
den, the principal port of M 1churia,
and Ia Tung Kao, at the mouth OF the
Yalu river. The state department is
highly gratified at this outcome, feel
ing that it has secured not only for
American commerce, but for the world
at large, very substantial gain.
1t now develops that the meeting Of
Russian officials at Port Arthur just
concluded, was but one of thesteps,
though an important one, which the
st. Petersburg government has
planned in execution of ito purpose to
place matters of internal administra-
ton in Manchuria in such condition
that the ports desired by the United
States and Japan could be opened to
trade without causing disturbances or
involving undue sacrifices of proper
Russian interests. 1t already had been
represented that the much of the fric-
ton that had grown out of the Man.

Of triple yet independent administra-
tion of affairs in Manchuria, by repre-
sentatives of the different branches
of the Russian government. The re-
suit was that one official would not
feel bound by the pledges made by an
other, so that foreign nations COM
planned of bad faith. 1t is understood
that now, following the Port Arthur
conference, a compact and responsible
direction of affairs has been arranged
for and orders issued from st. Peters
burg are certain to meet with speedy
and exact compliance. Although no
set time is mentioned in the promise
to open the ports, it is believed that
this will follow soon after the Rus
1ian evacuation in September.

postoffice burglars were captured six
teen miles from here on the country
road yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock

Revolvers were flashed but the pur.
suers secured the drop on the men and
effected the arrests, recovering all the
money and stamps taken from the 10.
cal postoffice at an early hour this

of the rural telephone service, as the

telephone to farmers in every direc.
tion for information. They secured a
trace of the men and started out with
buggy in hot pursuit early yesterday
morning. When within two miles
from Millersburg they learned from
one woman by telephone, that two men
were tramping along side road. They
hurried to the point designated When
within twenty feet of the men Sheriff
Binger stood up in the carriage and
pulled his revolver. The men started
to tumble at their hip pockets but the
bringing of Hardin's gun into play
sent their hands up in the air. On
their person was found 1920 in cash
and stamps to the value of 1920 Be
sides this they had two revolvers and
quantity of dynamite A spring
wagon was secured from a farmer to
bring the men to town. They are now
being held in the Jail here. The gov

telegraphed reward of $500 each for
their conviction in the federal court
They will be turned over to United
