May veta Mueller Bill.

splih: lied, ILL.,, May S--A report
vas current that Governor Yates be.
lore the final adjournment OF the state
legislature would send to the senate a
veto or other message affecting the
Mueller traction bill The Mueller
bill is the measure to defeat which an
attempt was made to gayel through a
rival bill, thus leading to riot in the
house. The legislature declined to ac-
cede to a request from the governor
for postponement of the sine die
adjournment at midnight. About that
hour the governor closed his Office
and it was stated authoritatively
that there would be no action on the
Mueller bill. Should the governor
veto the bill and not call special
session of the legislature the hard
won victory for the Mueller bill is
without avail. and the traction situa
ton in Chicago becomes chaotic as
existing railway franchises soon ex
pire in number of cases.

NINE LIVES CRUSHED OUT.
Three Others Fatally Hurt by Slide OF
Rock in Tunnel.

Rock In Tunnel.
Roanoke, Va. May 8.-Nine men
were killed and five others injured,
three OF them fatally, by slide Of
rock in the east end of tunnel No. 2.
at Eggleston Springs, on the Norfolk
and Western railroad. Railroad con-
tractors were engaged in double track
ing the two tunnels at the point named
and when the tunneling force had re-
moved the earth and stone for the rail-
road tracks at the point where the ca
lamity occurred huge slide of solid
stone gave way on the mountain side
and came down at an angle Of about
forty-five degrees, striking the gang

Of nine men.
One man was in niche of the tun-
mel way and escaped with slight In.
juries. A second man, who stood on
the outer edge of the slide, was only
slightly hurt, but three others were
injured so badly that it is feared they
will die. The bodies of the other nine
men, some of whom are white, are still
under the mountain slide. A wrecking
car and derrick was taken out from
Radford, but thus far have been of nc
avail. There Is no likelihood that the
bodies can be recovered soon, as the
rock will have to be dynamited ant
removed bit by bit.

the original contract, which was aban.

Frightful Accident Occurs on Canadi-
an Pacific Road.
Port Arthur Ont, May S.-One OF
the worst accidents in the history OF
railroading in the west occurred on
the main line of the Canadian Pacific
railroad, near Dexter station. Twelve
laborers imprisoned in the wreckage

killed outright or burned to death.
Eight others were frightfully burned
and number of them will die. The
men were asleep when the train left
the track. The train was running at
high speed when 1t was derailed, pre-
sumably by the breaking Of an axle.
Every car left the track and plunged
The men killed were asleep in what is
known as "the boarding car" which
was attached to the rear of the train.
There were thirty men in the car. It
was crushed like an eggshell and many
of the men were pinned under the
moved. Fire added to the horror of
the scene, the splintered wood of the
car being ignited by an oyerheated
stove. The men who escaped injury
set to work to liberate the imprisoned
men, but they were driven back time
and time again by the flames, which
spread rapidly. One o2 the imprisoned
men succeeded in extrtcating himself
uninjured and smashed q window and
crawled out from under the wreckage.
He reported that severed others, some
Of them badly injured. were lying near
the window. The reacuers succeeded
in getting ten or tWeHe men through
the shattered windows. The men were
finally driven from the work of rescue
by the intense heat.

largely to a speech by Mr.. Pettus, of

Senator German sought, but failed,
to secure an order upon the postmaster

this effect was defeated for the time
by an objection from Mr.. Quay, which
delays its consideration till after the
