Refrafns From Giving Post Omce
 Facts to General Payne.
 WASHINGTON, May S.-The fea- ture of the days developments in the post office investigation was a letter by Seymour w. Tulloch, for many years cashier of the Washington city post office, to Postmaster General Payne in reply to the latter's letter re questing any information MT. Tulloch might have to sustain his published statements charging irregularities in the post office department and the Washington city post office several years ago.
 Mir. Tulloch in his letter, which was mailed to the postmaster general last evening, takes exception to personal comments of MT. Payne and refrains from giving any facts bearing on the Investigation, suggesting that the off cials to whom MT. Payne has written have all the necessary data if they choose to give 1t.
 While thus refusing to give any in- formation in the letter under the cir cumstances, MT. Tulloch says that he is ready to substantiate everything he has said and that he wants first to read the replies of the parties to whom the postmaster general has written be- fore going into details.

Thus the bill was passed This means that the vote as to appropriating the money in this town toward paying for the bridge will be left question until the next town meeting. 1t Is thought that favor of this plan.

NINE WERE KILLED.
Rock Slide on Norfolk and Western
 Railroad Crushed WOrIkmen.

Railroad Crushed WOrl1men.
 ROANOKE, Va, May S.-It is req Fonably certain that nine men were killed and five others injured, three of them fatally, by the slide of rock in the east end of tunnel No. ?, at Egg gleston Springs, Wednesday night, on the Norfolk and Western railroad.
 Railroad contractors were engaged in double tracking the two tunnels at the point named, and when the tun- neling force had removed the earth and stone for the railroad track at the point wheres the calamity occurred a huge slide of solid stone gave way on the mountain side and came down at an angle of about 45 degrees, str1k- ing the gang of laborers at work fair ly and crushing them to death. This strata of solid rock was connected only by clay seams, and when the founda- ton was removed the strata, some fifty feet long, fell without warning, catching the men in death trap.
 One man was in a niche of the tun- nel way and was only grazed on the face and head, escaping with slight 1n- juries. He was removed without great difficulty. A second man who stood on the outer edge of the slide was only slightly hurt, but three others were more unfortunate and were in- jured so badly that it is feared they will die. The bodies of the other men, some of whom are white, are still un- der the mountain slide.
 A wrecking car and derrick were taken out from Radford, but thus far have been of no avail. There is no likelihood that the bodies can be re- covered soon, as the rock will have to be dynan1ited and removed bit by bit. This is considered dangerous, as the length of the strata cannot be ascer- tained, and there is imminent danger of a second crash as soon as the base is removed and a consequent loss of other lives.
 It has been impossible thus far to secure the names of the unfortunate victims

THE IRISH LAND BILL.
John Morley Is skepticaI Regarding
 It's Benefits.


 LONDON, May S.-In the house of commons John Morley, Liberal, con- graduated the Irish party on the issue of the years battle. He said the land bill was a bold and coura geous meas ure and a revolutionary extension of the land purchase system. Its reme- dies were abnormal but it was crea- ture of social necessity, and therefore he would support it.
 If this bill failed there would be no repurchases because of the terms now offered by the landlords. The bill had many defective clauses which might entail its defeat, and it would save time if the Irish secretary, MT. Wynd- ham, would point out what conces- sions he was prepared to make.
 The bill, he said, marked the col lapse of the system by which Eng land had governed Ireland since the union and that it would create fresh problems and inevitably lead Q fur ther changes. He declared himself skeptical of the promised retrench- ment. He had always been convinced that there would be no retrenchment by the most extravagant government of Europe until Irishmen were made responsible and given their own par liament.
 Late yesterday the Irish land bill passed it's second reading in the house of commons by 443 votes to 26.

RICH G. POOR
ALIKE: A.Ll.!:o E:

Itching Piles is one Of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

 WALDEN, Mass, May S.-Comasso Lombreid, who was arrested in Boston on suspicion of having killed Miss Nell lie Sturteyant, daughter of James s. Sturtevant in Medford, while attempt ing to rob her father at midnight Wednesday, has been held without bail on a charge of murder for a further hearing next Tuesday.
 The particulars of the murder are as follows:
 Mir. Sturtevant, as usual on Wednes- days, kept the bank open until late hour to receive money. He closed up his accounts shortly after 10 o'clock, and about that time his wife and daughter called at the bank, and the three started for home about Il o'clock.
 MT. Sturtevant's house is some little distance from the bank, and the party arrived there about half past II. As MT. Sturteyant stepped upon the piaz- ga a rough looking stranger appeared around the corner of the house and, re- volver in hand, ordered NIT. Sturtevant to throw up his hands. The order was not immediately obeyed, and Miss Sturtevant stepped in front of her fa- t11er to shield him from harm just as the intruder fired three times, the bull lets entering the girls body with fatal result.
 As the girl fell the murderer grabbed the hand bag from her side, evidently thinking it contained the bankers cash, and, Jumping upon a bicycle which be had concealed near by, ped sled away.

Laborers on Canadian Pacific Killed
 In Collision.
 ST. PAUL, May S.-Reports have been received of a serious accident at Dexter, small station on the Cana dian Pacific railway, fifty miles west of Port Arthur, Ont, in which twelve lives were lost
 A large number of laborers were with a work train at Dexter. where they had been loading ties. Their train was on side track, and the men were at breakfast in the caboose. or board ing car, at the end of the train. A pas senger train crashed into the caboose, where the men were eating, overturn- ing the car. The wrecllage caught fire almost immediately from the engine.
 Of the men in the car twelve were fn- stantly killed or burned to death in the wreckage, where they had been pin toned by the overturning of the car. Eight others were seriously injured and still others less seriously hurt.
 The wreck is far from means of re- lief, and details of the accident are in- complete, as the wires have been work ing badly, and no names or further in- formation about the accident has been received

In proof of ii we tell whas those who have used it say.
 MT. Patrick Nolan, of NO. I2S Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn.,, says: 'sTo any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, I can with confidence recommend Deans Ointment. I was for a long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointrnents l used did rne any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that I felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market.
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.
