WITNESS ON The STAND
SOME DISCLOSURES ARE MADE
IN COAL CASE.
Max Eichberg Tells of the Existence
Of Ironclad Combination-Trial of
the Coal Operators At Chicago
Promises to Furnish a Number OF
Interesting Details.

Chicago, March 1.-THE first witness
in the trial of the coal operators here
was Max Eichberg, president of the
Wabash Valley Coal company. He tes-
titled that an ironclad combination ex-
listed between the Indiana operators
and the Crescent company by which all
Indiana coal was to be sold only
through the Crescent company. Eich-
berg identified the round-robin agree
ment and signatures to the agreement,
and said they were made in President
Bogle's Office. The pooling of the out
put Of the Indiana mines and distrib-
uting through the Crescent company,
he said, was made known to him a year
ago at the convention Of miners and
operators at Terre Haute. There, he
said, the proposition was made to him
by G. w. Gilmore, son-in-law of Presi-
dent Boyle and vice president of the
Crescent company. Eichberg testified
that he worked under the agreement,
until he disposed of one of his mines
last November. All coal, he said was
shipped according to the instructions
of the Crescent company. He was not
allowed to make contracts with outside
parties. All payments were made
through the Crescent company and the
operators met once a month to discuss
the situation. At the first meeting the
price of mine-run coal, the witness tes-
titled, was raised from So to 80 cents.
Late in the evening Eichberg cor
cluded his evidence and the state an
nounced its case closed. The defense
will be equally brief and it is expected
that the case will be given to the jury
Wednesday night. Practically the
whole fight is on the validity of the
agreement between the operators, and
whether it will be in restraint Of com
petition.

Olean, N. Y, March 10.-A score of
more people are killed, and a large
number injured by the explosion of oil
near this city last night. An Erie
freight train made up principally of oil
tank cars filled with oil broke in two
near this city. The sections came to-
gether with a crash and one of the oil
tanks was demolished. Fire broke out
almost instantly. A large crowd went
to the scene, and lined up along the
tracks. A terrific explosion occurred.
The flames communicated to the other
tank cars and other explosions follow
ed quickly. Sheets of flame shot out in
all directions. Scores of persons were
caught within the o n of fire and en-
veloped in the flames. Men and boys
ran screaming down the tracks with
their clothing a mass of flames. Others
fell where they stood, overcome by the
awful heat. Just how many were killed
is not known, as man bodies were in
cinerated. Sidney Fish, a prominent
business man, returned from the scene
at midnight. He said after the eXplo-
sion he saw several persons who start
ed to run away drop on the railway
tracks and they never moved again. He
says:
Their Terrible Fate.
"Others who had beer standing close
TO the wreckage were hurled through
the air for hundreds of feet. The scene
was awful. Half a dozen young boys
ran down the tracks with their cloth
ing on fire. They resembled human
torches. / could hear their agonized
creams distinctly from where | stood.
They ran some distance down the track
and threw themselves to the ground,
grovelling in bitches in their frantic
efforts to eXtinguish the flames. Then
they lay still, some of them unconscious,
others dead. do not know how many
were killed, but counted twenty bod
les before | came away"
AS soon as { he police headquarters
had been notified of the disaster every
doctor and ambulance in the city were
summoned. Grocery wagons and vehi-
Giles of all kinds were pressed into SER
vice and everything possible was done
to bring the injured to hospitals.
Early this morning four boys, the
first of the injured, arrived at the hos
pital. Their injuries were frightful.
Great patches of flesh were burned off
and hung in shreds from their bodies.

TO learn the names of those missing.
There is great excitement and the
streets are thronged with people.
Large crowds gathered at the hospi-
tai and the faces of the injured we're
a~nXiously scanned as they were borne
into the building on stretchers. Heart
rending scenes were witnessed when
one of the poor, blistered bodies was
recognized by a father or a mother or

persons were restrained from invading

MANY SEE CIRCUS.
Witness Wonderful Feats of the
Trained Animals.


Two large tentfuls OF people saw the
splendid performance Of the Norris *
Rowe's trained animal show yesterday.
Hundreds Of children, to say nothing
of the grown-up folks munched pea
nuts. drank lemonade and had a good
time generally while the trained dogs
AMI ponies, elephants. monkeys and
seals We're doing their entertaining
stunts.
Norris &, Rowe are branching out ana
have added a number Of regular circus
features to their show. There is a trick
bicycle rider who rides one wheel with
as much grace and skill as lots of folks
exhibit on two. a SOneless man who ties
himself into bow knot. flying trapez-
lists. equilbrists and clowns without
number.
But after all it is the dumb actors
that count and some of the best in
the business are signed with this show.
OF course. the ponies were too cute 1or
anything" and the dogs were Just the
cunDingcst,' and everybody signed
when the elephants were through their
turn, and the seals showed such in
telligence that it is hard to pick out the
stars, 80 the safest way out of it is
to say that they are al stars. Besides
these animals there are fine looking
camel and a tiny baby camel some
bears. a pair of llamas from the Andes
and a troop Of monkeys.
The list of tricks performed is long
one. many of them being done without
a word of command from the ringmas-
ter. Perhaps the most marvellous per
Torrance is given Dy the seals. In ad-
dition 10 other tricks these intelligent
amphibians gave an imitation of a
band, balanced large rubber balls on
their noses. caught rings on their heads
and in other ways surprised the au-
dience
