The Hooking Coal Company, with
stock and property amounting to over
1 million dollars in value. has just
Deen formed in Iowa. and will furnish
The coal to the Iowa Central and
Minneapolis & st. Louis railroads,
which presumably are backed by the
illinois Central. This is one of the
argest coal deals ever consummated
n the state and as result the vas-
supply of coal that is needed for the
illinois Central and the other two
roads mentioned will come from the
fields of Iowa instead OF Illinois as
heretofore. The new company secures
control of the mines, machinery and
1ther property OF the White Breast
Tuel company, at Hilton, Monroe
county, located five miles southeast OF
Abba, and also the mines and other
property located at Hooking, two miles
south Of Abba. The transfer of this
property is to be made the first OF
aext month and will then be placed
Under the management of Berry Rebre-
cent. The deed will be filed in Mon.
roe county. The company has already
iled articles of Incorporation. This
property will comprise one OF the big.
gest mining interests in the state and
the output of the mines when they
are worked to their full capacity will
be something enormous. The mines
at Hooking have capacity of 1900
tons a day, mine run, yielding 1900
tons of lump coal, while those at Hill.
ton yield about 1900 tons per day.
netting 1000 tons slack This will give
a daily output of something like 1900
tons of screened coal, one of the lar.
gest outputs OF any individual com
pany in the state.

States Shipbuilding Company has filed
an answer to suit 10 foreclose mort
gage on the Union Iron works, in the
circuit court In this city. for $16,OOO,O 900
fled by the Mercantile Trust Company
Of New York. In the brief the ship
building company admits 1t issued first
mortgage bonds and that the company
Is corporation organized under the
laws Of New Jersey. It Is denied, how
ever that the mortgage was certified

frauding the public; that the property
was of s1O,OOO,OOO value, but that
they formed a fraudulent combination
to capitalize the company for $41,0OO,-
900, and that at this time the company
was running on profitable basis, with
work enough ahead to guarantee q
profit of $5,OOO,0OO.

Disaster Attended With Fright.
ful Consequences Occurs
in Tunnel in New
York Streets.
A subway Suddenly Caves in,
Buryins Body Of Laborers
Beneath Stone.
ONLY FOUR REMOVED ALIVE
Men Had just Entered Tunnel
When Explosions Caused
Collapse of a Mass
OF Rocks.

New York, Oct. "A frightful ac-
cident. which will result in the death OF
10 or ii men. occurred late this evening
in the subway at One Hundred and
Ninety-hfth street and Broadway. At
midnight six men. two Of them dead,
had been removed from the tunnel. 1t
is believed thar IL others were In the
subway when the accident occurred and
that all have perished.
A colored man employed on the work
was the only eye witness to the dis
aster, and his story is the only one OBJ
tainable. He states that an electrician
had gone into the mouth Of the tunnel
for the purpose Of stringing wires, and
that the man was followed by II or IS
Italian laborers. Scarcely had the men
entered the subway when three blasts
were heard, followed by rurnbl!ng
sound and the falling II rock. The men
were caught beneath the falling mass
and all but four OF them were doubtless
killed.
OF the six men who had been taken
from the subway ut midnight, two were
dead and four, were severely injured.
The dead bodies of two other men were
lying in plain view. with great rocks
upon them. 1t is thought that 10 other
men were crushed beneath the mass Of
stone, and there Is little hope that they
win be taken out alive.
The accident probably resulted
from a premature explosion. Or may
have been due to failure to give warm
ing Of the blasts that were set off at the
time the men entered the tunnel. The
matter viii be investigated and re-
sponsibiIity for the disaster placed at
the door Of the negligent persons.

JUDGE CLANCY CRITICISED
Scored for Taking More Interest
In Hunting Trip Than I'm
Crisis Which Has
Come Up.

Butte, Oct. 24.--An unexpected move
was made in the Amalgamated Copper
situation today, when proposition was
made by the miners union to John
Macginnis, vice-president Of the United
Copper Company. and his associates
connected with the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing Company, to purchase their
stock in the Boston G. Montana Com
pany. The union would then dismiss
the proceedings against the Boston G.
Montana Co.. so that there could
be general resumption Of the Amalga-
mated mines. smelters and various
other plants throughout Montana. At
special meeting OF the union, at which
about 5000 miners attended, 1t was de-
cided to offer Macginnis and Forester
$500 share for their 100 shares Of Bos-
ton & Montana stock. A similar offer
was made for stock in the Parrot Cop
per & Silver Mining Company at
rate not to exceed 800 a share.
The union passed resolution suggest
ing the need Of an adequate law to
meet emergencies Of the present char
acter, and calls upon the governor to
convene the legislature to enact legis-
lation that will correct the evils, and
to impeach any public officer who may
be proven guilty Of malfeasance in
office.
Judge William Clancy was severely
criticised in the resolution, reference
being made to statement made by
Clancy yesterday In court to the Anal
gamated attorneys that.,his return to
the city depended largely on the sue
cess attending his efforts to kill a bull
elk and few rabbits.
A report that John Macginnis had left
the city shortly after the decision Of the
miners union to purchace his stock in
the Boston & Montana mine was made
known created excitement among the
miners and thousands of them gathered
about the railroad depots. The police
have taken extra precautions to prevent
