A train on the Washington County
railway killed a good sized moose near
Egypt Stream in the town of Franklin
a few nights ago. The unfortunate
moose evidently did no: recognize the
superior force represented In train

II the animal did realize the power he
was contending with his egotistic ma
ture must have composed q considera-
BILE portion of his makeup. The moose
stood in the middle Of the track as the
train rounded a sharp curve. The en-
gineer knew it was too late to slow up.
Observing the preparatiC rs on the part
Of the moose to contend the right OF
way with the speeding train the en-
gineer pulled the throttle open wider
and the train shot fOrward at the ami
rial with increased speed. The moose
met the engine with lowered head IN
tending doubtless to hCrl the train
high in the air. There was a slight col
lision and the cowcatcher did its work
very neatly. The moose was tossed
aside into an adjoining field, an
eligible candidate for admission into
the ranks of beef trust. The engineer
grinned as he remarked. Mr.. Moose,

Judgment" Although ii is close time
and there is a law against killing
moose it hardly applies to railroad
trains, especially under such circum-
stances. The authorities can hardly
arrest and imprison the engine that cid
the killing and besides 1t can be easily
proved that the said moose was guilty
of contributory negligence.

In a recent English book of reminis-
cence occurs this anecdote of Thacke-
ray at the time of his first and only
contest for a seat in Parliament. He
was dining with an Oxford Don after
his first days contest. and was asked:

Now" replied Thackeray laying down
his knife and fork and holding up a
finger, there was one man among all

name before; and he was a circulating
librarian. Such is mortal fame,"
notwithstanding the criticism and
ridicule that have been reused by the

DUE TO OPEN SWITCH.
Five Men Killed and Many Injured in
Railway Disaster in
Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Sept. ga rear-end
collision Monday between the east
bound New York limited express from
st. Louis and local passenger train
which was standing at the Faeli sta
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad, Is
miles west of the city, resulted in the
death of five men and the injuring of
more than 20 others. All those who
met death were in the private car OF
General Manager Atterbury, which
was attached to the rear of the loca
train. In the car at the time of the
collision were about a dozen men who
had been engaged in overhauling the
car Those who were not killed were
injured. The local train was made up
in the yard on the north side of the
railroad and switched across to the
east-bound track No. 1 on the south
side, and came to stop at the station.
Before the switches could be set the
New York limited came along at mod
crate speed on the No. 2 east-bound
track, took the cross-over switch and
crashed into the local train. The force
of the collision was so great that the
engine of the limited ploughed ten feet
into the private car, and the latter was
forced half way through the Gay coach
ahead.

FIERCE FIRE AT BUTTE.
Large Portion of Business Section of
Montana City Destroyed
Loss, 100000.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 25.-Fire causing
loss estimated at about S1,0O0,000,
Sunday consumed the entire business
portion of Butte, lying between the
Shodair block and Renshaw alley, on
the south side of West Park street, and
falf destroyed the public library.
The Miner, Broadway, Harvard, Ar
gyle and other buildings were licked
by the flames, but good work on the
part OF the owners and the fremen
prevented what seemed for a time a
general conflagration, as a stiff wind
was blowing flaming embers every
where. By II o'clock every piece of
fire apparatus in Silver Bow county
was at the scene of the fire. The fire
departments from the Rarus, Cora.
Parrot, Original, Gagnon, Anaconda
and other mines responded with alac-
rity and rendered great service. The
fire battalions from the Centennial
brewery, from Walkerville, from Will
iiamsburg, the Butte Reduction works
and other places answered the general
alarm and lent valuable assistance.
The Maule. York, Barrett, Wood
worth and Ogden blocks were wholly
destroyed. The following are among
the estimated losses: Simonds store,
Maule and York blocks, owned by the
New York Realty company, 100000;
library building, $4,000; Walkerer
Shoe company, $4,000; Ogden block,
total loss; Atlantic saloon, $110,000.

MONARCHY FACES CRISIS.
Serious Danger, of Hungarian Revo-

Franz Josef.

London, Sept 26.-Special dispatches
from Budapest to this mornings Lon
don newspapers indicate that the excite
ment consequent on the strained rela-
lions between the crown and the united
opposition in the Hungarian diet is in
creasing and that, while the leaders of
the coalition parties are counseling the
people to refrain from violating the law,
inf1ammatory speeches are being made
by prominent persons in various socie-
ties of the country, and that, probably
for the first time, the personal popular
ity of the king-emperor is being as
sailed.
The executive committee of the coali-
ton parties, summoned to discuss the
situation arising from the uultimatum
presented to the Hungarian leaders by
the king-emperor, has passed what
amounts to severe vote of censure of
his majesty and his advisers. In the
resolution the committee expresses the
deepest regret that the king emperor
did not listen to the statesmen sum-
moned by him to Vienna, who represent
the majority in the Hungarian parlia-
ment and constitute the leaders of the
nation in it's public affairs.

PACKERS ESCAPE JAIL.
Officials of Big Company Admit TAX

Total of $25, 1000.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Four officials Of
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, the pack

indictments charging them with con-
spiracy to accept railroad rebates. The
plea was entered before Judge J. Otis
Humphrey in the United States dis
trict court, by Attorney 1. X. Boyesen,
of counsel for the company. 1t was
declared that unless at least one of
the cases was Immediately settled, the

This marked the first victory of the
government in it's prosecution of the

OF such men as Gov. Vardaman, of
Mississippi. The year thus far has
recorded fewer Of these cases Of mob
violence than any similar period for a

THE alliance IS
VERY Strong
THE COMPACT BETWEEN JAPAN
AND ENGLAND IS MADE
PUBLIC.
Japan is Great Britain and Great
Britain is Japan, Practically the
Efsct-Peace in the Far East the
Object Desired.

London, Sept 27.-The text of the
new agreement between Great Britain
and Japan, which was signed by Lord
Lansdowne, the British foreign secre-
tary, and Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
minister to Great Britain, on Aug. ~,
was issued by the foreign office late
last evening. The momentous docu-
ment is a brief one, comprising less
than 800 words, including eight arti-
cles and a preamble.
Accompanying the agreement is
letter from Lord Lansdowne to the
British ambassadors at St Petersburg
and Paris for transmission to the Rus
sian and French governments respect
lively, in which the foreign secretary
courteously reviews the agreement and
carefully points out that the new de-
fensive alliance is not intended as
menace, but rather as a guarantee of
peace and prosperity in the Far East,
in which all countries may participate.
The main features of the new agree
ment have already be forcasted in the
dispatches from London and Paris.
The pithy articles of the official text,
however, bring out forcefully the tre-
mendous Importance to both coun-
tries Of this alliance, which practically
makes Great Britain japan and Japan
Great Britain for the purposes of de-
Tense Sin the regions of East Asia and
India"
This inclusion of India, specifically,
as point at which any aggression by
a foreign power will call for the as
sistance of Japan, finds much favor
with the press of London, the morning
papers in long laudatory articles well
coming the new and more extensive al
lance of the two insular kingdom west
and east as giving immediate relief
from the dangerous thundercloud
which for so many years has hung
over the Indian frontier.
