Eighteen ExcursiOnists Have Mar
row Escape In Mammoth Cave.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 1S.-Eight
cen delegates to the convention of the
National League of Commission Mer
chants were thrown into the icy water
Of Echo river, which winds through
Mammoth cave, and were saved only
by the GOODNESS of the guide, John Mel
son, and the heroic work of Charles A
Muehlbronner of Pittsburg.
The roof of the cave over Echo river
is arched, and the space in the center,
owing to an unaCcountable rise in the
river, was only two and half feet
above the water. In order to insure
the passage Of the boat the men and
women were forced to stoop over At
one place the boat swerved TO one side,
raking the heads Of the persons in the
boat next to the bank. These leaned
farther forward to escape striking their
heads. This lowered one end Of the
boat, and the water began to flow in
rapidly. The guide saw the danger and
called to Mr.. MuehlbrOnncr to jump
and take the chain. This he did, land
ing on a steep bank, which offered only
a slight foothold Lying down on his
face, he held to the chain and pulled
the boat toward the bank.
The boat sank in eight feet Of water,
but farther back, where there was no
landing, the water is eighteen feet deep.
By the light Of a single lantern the
party escaped by climbing over MIR.
Muehlbronncrs PROSTATE form and aft
err waiting several hours for Il boat
were brought in safety to daylight.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-William J.
Bryan will be a delegate TO the next
Democratic national convention. This
is the announcement Of his supporters
in Nebraska, who are absolutely in con-
troll of the Democratic state Organiza-
ton.
The presence of Mr. Bryan in the
convention will make him the acknowl.
edged spokesman of that part Of the
Democratic party which has dominated
its policy since 1896. and it is likely
that under the two-thirds rule which
prevails in the Democratic body no
man can be chosen as the candidate for
president whose nomination would be
regarded as an affront to him.
4 majority of the Democratic nation
al committee at their session in Wash
ington expressed the opinion that Mr..
Bryan would not only be powerful
enough in the coming convention to
name the candidate and dictate the plat
form, but to veto any action of the ma
jority as to a candidate offensive to
him and his followers

Charles BORier. Ia, Convicted Of
Killing Johanna and Franz
Frehr Must Die.

BUFFALO, Jan. 1S.-Charles Bonier
has been found guilty Ut murder in the
first degree for killing Franz and Jo-
hanna Frehr, an old German couple, in
their little home in Jefferson street
The verdict carries the death sentence
with it. Bonier who is seventy-four
years old. took the conviction coOlly,
looking calmly at the foreman as he an
nounced the result of the jury's delib-
arations.
The Frehrs were murdered for their
money. The murderer buried the bod
les in a shallow grave in their own
yard and proceeded to install himself
and his housekeeper in their former
home within few feet Of the mutiat-
ed bodies of his victims Mr. and Mrs
Frehr had been thrifty. They had CON
siderable money and kept several hun
dred dollars in gold in their house
Bonier was a constant visitor at their
home.
When relatives called at their house
they found Bonier in possession. lie
informed them that Mr. and Mrs. Frehr
had sold the property to him and had
left the city 10 enter an Old folks home
Search by relatives failed to disclose
their whereabout. They became sus-
picious of foul play, and the police were
informed. They soon became cOnyinc-
ed that murder had been committed,
and a thorough search Of the Frehr
premises was begun.
Buried in shallow graves beneath
pile Of lumber in a small clubhouse they
found the bodies of the old man and
his wife Their heads had been bat
tered in with a hammer which was
found In the she'd Twelve hours after
the bodies were found BOnier was ar
rested in Erie, Pa, whence he fed I'M
der an assumed name Bonier told the
police an ingenious story 10 the effect
that he had bought the Frehr property,
but that they had left the city before
he could obtain their signatures to the
deeds Fearing that he would lose his
money, he forged Frehrs signature TO
the transfers The circumstantisl evil
dence against him was very strong,
however, and the trial has ended In his
conviction.

ity filled with a sweet or sour pickle mix
ture and the opening closed so as to give
the appearance of a whole fruit When
melons are used. cut out wedge large
enough to scoop out the seeds and soft
portions. For peppers or green toma-
toes, cut a circular piece from the stem
end and remove the seeds Then put
the pieces in place again and soak over
night in brine. In the morning drain,
taking pains TO keep the separated parts
of the same fruit or vegetable together
For filling use firm white cabbage,
chopped very fine, with a quarter as much
celery cucumber, green tomato or sweet
peppers. Sprinkle well with salt and
stand aside for several hours Drain
and to each pint of TIE vegetable add
small onion, a few nasturtium seeds, a
teaspoonful of mustard seed and salt,
pepper, ginger, cloves allspice and Gin

cavities, packing in closely, fit in the
pieces that belong in and wrap firmly

the pickle stand over night In the
morning heat all together and simmer
for half an hour Remove carefully, put
in a stone jar and cover with cold vine
gar. The next morning pour off the
vinegar and allow half cupful of sugar
to each quart of the vinegar. Scald and
pour over the mangoes. Repeat the
scalding for several mornings, and when

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Jan. IS. -
What promises to be a most interesting
convention Of the United Mine Work
.crs of America has convened here. The
thing that makes Jhe outlook for the
convention more interesting than ordi-
narily is the fact that within the last
two months there has been apparently
a preconcerted move on the part Of sew
eral of the operators to cut wages at
the rate of 10 cents a ton. A conflict
between operators and miners seems
probable
