J. 4. BROWN FOUND
THAT BLIND vein

Mr.. aud Mrs. j. Fl. Brown re-
turned yesterday from the Burnt
river country, where they have been
for some weeks past. As has been
before stated in The Miner, Mr..
Brown went down there this time. de-
termined TO find blind ledge that
has been diligently sought for for the
past twenty years. He located it in
an open cut. but where IL is uncov-
cred the ore is not particularly rich,
though IL pans free gold everywhere.
AS near as any one can know any
thing relative to the workings of
Natures underground laboratory, il
Is certainty that this ledge supplies
the rich placers below. that have been
mined for many years. The inevi
table corollnry Is that the vein has
rich shoot somewhere In that vicin-
ity. }. II will not try TO find 1t
this season, being satisfied with the
knowledge that in future he can work
on some intelligent basis; that his
search Tor the prOverbial EeedIe IN

Mr. Brown says that two shifts are
now at work sinking on the Black
Eagle, to prove that property at
depth. This is the porphyry dyke of
which so much has been said and
written, where low grade ora has been
Iuarried and run through u twenty

SENSATIONAL
STORY OF AN ATTEMPT TO BLOW
UP CZAR'S SPECIAL
TRAIN.

Lemberg, Galicia. Oct. 4.-The So
cialist paper "Naprzod," in its issue of
yesterday publishes sensational
story about an attempt to blow up
the cars special train near Odessa.
According to this report the police
discovered a bomb on the tracks about
two miles from Odessa but few min
utes before the imperial train passed
the spot.
A rigid investigation was at once
instituted. The train was halted at a
safe distance ana every inch of the
road inspected but no more traces OF
the miscreants were found.
All attempts to discover the parties
responsible for the attempted outrage
have failed SO far, but number of ar
rests have been made. While it is
not believed that any of those in Gus
tody have had anything to do with the
attempt, they will be put through the
severest cross-examination in the hope
of obtaining some clew from them.

He NEVER SAID It,
GEN. CORB|N SAYS,
THE PEskY NEWSPAPERS HAVE
MlsouoTED HIM.
But He still Declares That the United
States Army Is Very Much
Over-MarrIed.

Omaha, Neb.. Oct. 3.--"Did I say
American officers should not marry un-
less they had an income OF s2,4OO
yearly?"
mo, sir. never said anything of
the kind. The newspapers have mis-
quoted me on the subject"
This statement was made today by
Genral Henry c. Corbin, who spent an
hour in Omaha ON his way to the Phil
ippines, where he will take command
of the forces in place of General Wade.
General Corbin, however, proceeded to
discuss the theme of marriage with
special reference to army officers, say
ing: "Our army is over-married. The
pay of the subaltern officer is barely
enough for his proper support and the
expenses Of his equipment and uni
form. If to this are added the inevit-
able expenses attached to a family, it
is not only probable, but almost GER
tain that when an officer strikes his
balance at the end of the year he will
be behind II he has no income but his
pay. That a bachelor officer is more
valuable to the service than married
officer does not follow, nor do l wish
to be understood as 30 saying, but the
married officer is less valuable If IN
marrying he has not exercised that
prudence which should govern all
transactions in life. am firmly of the
opinion that no officer should enter the
marriage relation without first getting
the authority Of the war department
and that as a necessary condition
thereto he should make it clear that
his income after marriage will be
sufficient to support himself and family
and above all if he is to live on his
pay he should state on his honor he
is free from debt"

ON THE ". & |, {,
IN WHICH JOHN sTEELY OF THIS
CITY LOST HIS LIFE.
Struck by Passenger Train Near Bel.
den Avenue and Terribly
Mangled.

A fatal accident occurred about six
o'clock Monday evening on the w. & L.
e. road in which John Steely lost his
life. The man was struck by the pas
senger train in the railroad yards
near Beiden avenue and crushed in a
terrible manner.
AS soon as the accident happened
the w. G. L. e. surgeon, DR.. L. D.
Brant was summoned. 1t was thought
that 1t might be possible to save the
mans life but it was found that all
the ribs on the left side we're frac-
tured and the blood flowing profusely
from an ugly wound In the side which
was nearly two inches in length.
The nose and the bone in one arm
were fractured. When the surgeon ar
rived the man was still breathing but
did not regain consciousness. The
Seesholtz ambulance was called villa
the intention of conveying the patient
to the hospital but before the arrival
of the ambulance, death had relieved
him of his suffering. The body was
taken to the Seesholtz morgue.
The deceased lived with his sister
on South Hartford street. He also
has brother living at Waco.

MASSES OF HUMANITY
Surged in Such Crazy Mobs to Get Last Glimpse
of Senator HOar's Remains That Many
Were Injured
IMPULSVE, IMPATIENT THRONES.

humanity was admitted and they start
ed with rush up the narrow stairway
which leads into the city hall. The
detachment of police which was as
sign to the spot to hold back the mob
was entirely inadequate although
there were as many as could be con-
veniently stationed there. The militia
had disbanded and the crowd ragged.
Women with sucking babies in their
arms thronged the crowded passage
while the police did all In their power
to hold them back. One woman, be.
side herself in her ambition to see
the senator's face for the last time,
started to force her way into the hall
with her child and her baby carriage
which she seemed to forget entirely
Soon after the rush for the entrance
started, several women were seen to
faint and those near by thought that
they would be trampled to death. Un.
able to move to the aid of the suffer
ing the masses held their breath while
they were carried onward by the surg
ing throng, but the police, charging
the jam, succeeded in removing the
fallen ones before they we're injured.
The men who held their presence of
mind in spite Of the excitement, ex-
erted every effort to keep the mob
from those who had fallen and succeed
ed so far as is at present known. The
station of the insurance patrol Barton
Place was turned into a temporary
hospital and when call after call was
received at police headquarters for the
ambulances, all that the city has were
sent to the scene to remain until the
crowd dispersed. 1t was 7 o'clock
before the ambulances were released
Thirteen patients were treated at
the fire patrol headquarters, nearly a
dozen others were taken to their homes
without treatment and soon recovered
while scores we're assisted from the
crowd by those near by and after be-
ing revived refused medical assistance

A SENSATIONAL TRIAL
BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS
CHARGED WITH FORMING REvo-
LUTloNARY SOCIETY.
Nearly All Of the Suspects are Jews,
and They Will Be
Convicted.

st. Petersburg, Oct. A sensation
al trial of eight persons charged with
having formed revolutionary society
was begun yesterday behind closed
doors. With the exception of one the
accused are all young men, the excep-
tion being an aged Jewess who refus-
ed to make damaging statements re-
garding her son.
The law does not permit parents to
shield their children where crimes of
a certain character are concerned and
makes the refusal to give information
a punishable otfense. This mother was
the first witness to be heard. 1t is
not known whether her case has been
closed
The accused were arrested about
three weeks ago when a great round.
up Of persons suspected Of revolution
ary leanings was made. 1t was believ-
ed at the time that the authorities did
not expect to make any discoveries of
moment but they were simply desir.
Gus of removing certain elements
which had been active In an agitation
against the war.
Unexpectedly the secret police ran
across a printing shop in private
house and large quantity of pamph.
let's Of a revolutionary character was
found. The place was not raided then
but those who were known to live in
the house were watched for many days
and finally surprised at a meeting
which is believed to have been the
first step in the organization of a rev.
olutionary society. Sufficient proofs
against the participants we're obtain
ed to warrant the expectation thai
they will be convicted. Most of the
prisoners are Jews.

PRESIDENT NATIONAL DEM
oCRATlC CLUBS.
Late Candidate For Pres
idential Nomination
AN EARNEST CAMPAIGN

10 Urged Upon All Members to Pro.
mote and Expound the Principles Of
Jeffersonlan Dcmocraoy-is Willing
to Boost But Wants others to Quit
Knocking.
New York, Oct. 3.-William Ran
dolph Hearst, president of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic
club, issues ali open letter to members
Of the organization in which he re-
minds them of tae great opportunity
presented In the coming election to win
victory for Jeffersonian Democratic
principles and further adds:
81 hope that every official and every
individual member OF every club In
our association will do all he can-
and more than ever before-to promote
and expound the interests and the be-
liefs Of genuine Jeffersonian Democ-
racy.
II call upon all members of the
club to begin earnest campaign work
Immediately, to re-organize where re-
organization is necessary and especi-
ally to respond promptly and energet-
ically to every suggestion that may
come from the national management OF
the Democratic party.
II have offered my services and
those Of my newspapers to the manag-
ers of the Democracy and in so far as
I have felt justified as your president
In doing 1t l have offered the much
greater influence of the national as
sociation of Democratic clubs, pledging
the honest cooperation of all the mem
bers to further effort on the lines Of
that genuine Democracy in which a
majority of the American people be-
ueve.
"As Democrats we are interested es-
pecially this year in repudiating by
earnest, sincere work the charges
made against us.
"The president Of the United States,
In his formal letter Of acceptance, calls
all Democrats hypocrites and time
servers. He says that they are com
PEELED to improvise their convictions,
and that 1t is no wonder they forget
their convictions over night.
1T is the duty OF the members Of
the National Association Of Democratic
clubs and of all Democrats to unite in
proving that Democrats have princi-
pie and permanent principles.
I'VE should unite TO preach our DEM
ocratic beliefs from now until elec-
ton day and to vote for those princi-
pies on that day."

UNEASY
ARE THE REPUBLICANS OF IN.
DiANA-pEMocRATic PROS
PEcTs BRIGHT.

Washington, d. G., Oct. 3.-Repre-
sentative Cooper, Of Texas, who has
just passed through Indiana declares
that the Republicans there are uneasy.
He says he believes the Democrats will
carry New York, West Virginia and
New Jersey.
Henry B. Davenport, Democratic
candidate for congress in the Third
West Virginia district here today de-
clares that thousands OF Republicans
in that state will vote for vice presi-
dental candidate Davis for purely
personal reasons.
Reports received here tell Of marked
apathy in Maryland and West Virginia.
This is not confined to localities where
any one party predominates but af-
fects both. The greatest trouble the
political managers will have, it is said,
will be to get the voters to the polls.

MANSFIELD NEWS
Compliments Grand Army Band and
Tells One on "Trouble."

The Around the Town" man Of the
Mansfield News, writes up the G. A.
band and Trouble Tompson as follows.
The splendid concert given here
Wednesday by the Grand Army band
of Canton was the subject of much
favorable comment and those who had
the opportunity Of hearing it are hop
ing that some other occasion will soon
arise that will bring them to Mans
field again.
The busiest person in the band and
apparently the most important feature
of 1t however, was not the leader nor
the sliding trombone artist. All of the
heavy responsibilities, in his opinion
at least, fell upon the shoulders Of
Trouble. This important parsonage
is the colored gentleman who acts as
mascot Of the aggregation and incl
dentally looks after their extra bag
gage and keeps the members supplied
with drinking water. Trouble" is the
only name he ever had, at least he
doesn't know what his real name is
he's heard nothing but trouble all his
life. When the band was organized
years and years ago, Trouble seemed
to attach himself to the organization
naturally in the capacity Of mascot
and ever since the band has never
gone anywhere without Trouble going
with 1t. Trouble doesn't know how old
he is, but thinks he is some few years
beyond a hundred. He has travelled
with the band from Maine to the
Pacific slope.
Shortly after he reached Mansfield
Wednesday he hurried to a telephone
to call up an old acquaintance here,
Almost as soon he rushed back to one
of the band boys and all out of breath
exclaimed, SAY, what kind Of fool
town am dis heah? This am de bizzi-
est place | ever dun seen. Have yous
all tried to phone yit? Well, de min
