BRIGHTMAN WAS
MARRIED MAN
Confined from Page nns.l

When his friends suggested that he &c
to the morgue to make arrangements
for the funeral Gurney only looked at
them and shook his head.
IL have tried to go there two or three
times today, but there is something
that tells me 1 could not live II I saw

Then, with a cry Of grief. the young
mans soul demanded its own and the
tired head sunk forward to the desk

entire body to tremble. His grief was
pitiabe as he sobbed, Donna, Donna.

Inquests over Bodies
Inquests over the bodies of Mrs. Cur
ney and the murderer, Brightman, were
held yesterday at Pierce Bros under
taking rooms and at Bresee's morgue.
The Jurors were first taken to Pierce
Bros parlors, where the body of the
unfortunate young girl lay on a great
white bier covered with flowers, the
offering of her many friends. The ma

to Bresee's morgue, where the body of
Brightman had been taken.
The testimony in the case was brief,
with the evidence of John Hudson, the
only eye witness to the tragedy, and
that of Miss York being taken. Follow
ing the testimony the jury returned
verdicts of murder" and Suicide" I"
and the legal part of one of the saddest
tragedies in the history of Los An

BaIfours Speech Criticised

Premier Balfour's speech in the
house of commons, May IL, for the de-
fense of India, from this standpoint,
came at particularly inopportune
time, and the comments of some Of the
American papers which have been ca
bled here have also aroused some re-
sentiment.
The Novoe Vremya announces that
the incident is closed. adding: Japan
wished to dictate to France in order to
seal the union with Great Britain and
then have in her pocket the apple of
discord of Paris for use in later at
tack on Indo- China. Now if, instead
of bombardnlents and embargoes, ia
pan has been ready TO accept from
France the statements contained In the
yellow book, it is reasonable to infer
that Great Britain has given Japan to
understand that she does not care to
rush into war with France. After
all, the incident was only tempest

SPEED OF RAILWAY TRAINS.
Differing Views of Experts as to
Wherein the Danger Lies.

Differing Views of Experts as to
Wherein the Danger Lies.
In answer to our question as to the
speed of passenger trains, the Hon,
Martin f. Knapp, chairman Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, says
that, within limits, the whole question
is one of conditions, and adds: 1.-THE
rate of speed entirely safe on one line
might be positively dangerous on an
ether, says writer In Leslies Weekly.
1.-THE varying circumstances on differ
ent lines would seem to preclude any
rule of general application" President
Ripley of the Santa Fe Road-who re-
Gently caused special train to run be-
tween Los Angeles and Chicago in rec
ord-breaking time-says that the only
difference in a fast train compared
with a slow train is that the fast
train is composed of fewer cars than
the slow train, and that, having none
of the dead weight represented by eX-
press and mail cars Of the slow trains
between the engine and the passenger
cars, the passengers on the shorter
train are more liable to injury in case
of accident. President Wilcox Of the
Delaware and Hudson Road thinks
there is a tendency to operate freight
trains much too rapidly, though his
road has a record of not having killed
a passenger during the last eleven
wears. President Underwood of the
Erie road compares a fast train to a
skyscraper, saying that a man who
falls from the top Of such a building
receives injuries no greater than does
q man who falls from the fifth story.
President Barr Of the Seabord Air Line
saws that high-speed trains receive
more care and greater protection than
sIow-speed trains do, as all employees
are required to facilitate and protect
the movement Of high-speed trains to
the utmost. G.. M. BasfoTd, editor Of
the American Engineer and Railroad
Journal, says that until our railroads
have a more uniform installation Of the
signaling system, as III England, we
should not greatly increase the speed
of trains. And yet, asked why 1t is
that the fatalities on English railways
are so much smaller than on American
railways, President Newman of the
New York Central said: II do not be-
I,eye there is any such great disprO-
norton in fatalities on roads in this
country and in England, considering
the differences in conditions. 1t is, In
deed, impossible to make fair or Just
or intelligent comparison"

almost certain.

Edward Farr, who was one Of the
most expert tea tasters and buvers ~
lhe country, died at his home. 2749
Sehple avenue, recently.
MI Farr was nearly 81 years Of age
ana mad been in the tea business for
slXty-eight years. He was known
throughout Canada and the United
states as one Of the comparatively few
Yea experts. In his prime he was
taster and buyer for the largest tca
houses In America. For years ha com.
manded salary of $4,000 per year, the
highest salary ever paid in this conn.
try to man Of his calling.
He was born in England. October %
1921, and came to the United States
when about 10 years of age. His
knowledge Of teas secured him emplov.
nent as a faster and buyer, and for
years he was connected with the larg.
est tea houses Of the tea-growing coun-
tries III the interest of his firm. Be-
fore the Civil War he was In the tea
brokerage business for himself. and
was considered a man Of wealth. At
the close Of the war he came to ST.
Louis and opened tea brokerage
business.
The last few years of his life he had
been engaged in selling tea and was
considered as good a salesman as he
was a buyer. There was nothing in
the tea business that he did not know.
and he gave his customers the benefit
of his knowledge Of teas. Every day
he drove over the city, visiting his Gus
toners. While advanced in years, he
was very active and attended to his
trade until two weeks before his death.

ticeship he came to New York and be.
came buyer and faster of teas for a
great importing house.
For sixty-elght years he had tasted
teas, practically every day, yet no i'll

ascribed to the fact hat the tea faster

EXPLOSION In COAL NINE NEAR
DIAMONDVILLE, WYO.
Rescuers Are Driven 5ack-shoek Is
Felt All over Town, Violently Rock
ing neutrality-suspicious. Are Instantly
KIIed-Pathotic Scenes at the Shaft
Explosion 100 Feet Underground.

Diamondville, Wyo., Dec. 4.-Eight-
cen miners lost their lives by an ex-
plosion in the Diamond Coal & Coke
company's mine No. /. 1t is believed
that all the men who persisted were
instantly killed. What caused the dis
aster is not definitely known, but the
theory advanced by the miners is that
a blown out" shot caused dust explo-
sion, which wrecked the mine. The
explosion was felt all over the town,
rocking buildings so violently that the
occupants ran out into the open. The
news that there had been another dis
aster at the Diamond mine the sec
ond in less tnan FIVE years-spread
through the village, and practically
the whole population of Diamondville
flocked to the mine shaft. In the pre-
vious explosion, which occurred Feb
ruary 26, 1901, 80 miners persisted.
Wives and children Of the entombed
miners were among those who rushed
to the shaft, and the scenes there were
most palmetto. The men were ready
to enter the shaft 1t was impossible
to do SO, owing to the after effects
OF the explosion, and Superintendent
Sheldon insisted that all precautions
against fire should be taken.
The explosion occurred HOO feet
underground and at least 5000 feet
from the mouth of the shaft.
The 800 coal diggers of the Diamond
mines were assisted in rescue work
by many miners who came over from
Kemmerer, lew miles distant.
Every man in the mine persisted.
The night force was small, their work
being limited to knocking down coal
to be taken cut by the day shift Had
the explosion occurred in daytime, the
loss of life would have been far
greater.
The Diamond Coal & Coke company
is Salt Lake UIty concern. The out
put of the mine is largely shipped to
Salt Lake City and the shelters at
Anaconda, Mont.
Many English miners, who came di-
rect to the mines from England, are
employed in DiamOndVille, and it is
believed tnat a majority of the dead
are Englishmen.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 4.-Intense
alarm prevails here. Communication
with the outside world by telegraph
ceased this morning, when the Fin.
nish operators joined their Russian
comrades.
The embassies, legations and banks
are hastily organizing courier services
to both the Finnish and German from
tiers.
The population is almost in state
of panic, fearing that the railroads
will stop running and that the in
habitants will have no mode Of fight
in the event of the cataclysm, which
they seem to fear is imminent. Stories
of the spread of the disaffection in the
guards regiments are in everybodys
mouth, and the revolutionaries con-
tinue to boast that the troops will no
longer fire on the people.
This morning newsboys were openly
hawking fysheets in the streets con-
tanning an account of an alleged re-
volt at Tsarskoe Selo, and crying out:
1.-THE emperor's palace guard has
mutinied."
According to reliable information
the only foundation for these stories
is the arrest of the soldiers of the
guard at Tsarskoe selo Thursday.
Nevertheless, in their excited state
the people gave ready credence to all
rumors, and this adds to the general
alarm.
The air is also filed with stories of
the alleged revolution at the palace
Friday, in which Grand Duke Boris is
said to have attempted the life of
the emperor. These stories, likewise,
are untrue, but they prove that revo-
luton in the palace is considered pos
sible at any time.
This situation has greatly increased
the dangers of financial crash. The
people, even the commercial interests,
are withdrawing their money from the
banks, converting it into gold, hoard
ing it or demanding foreign exchange,
which the state bank is issuing upon
the foreign balances of the govern
ment. Exchange on London yesterday
rose to $50, over a rouble above the
normal.
The American Press has just
learned from high authority that the
situation in the Baltic region has
grown exceedingly grave, and the
troops at Reval and neighborhood are
in open mutiny. This was the real
cause of the extraordinary cabinet
meeting which was held at Tsarskoe
Selo last night.
All attempts to secure details of the
uprising have thus far failed. Accord
ing to reports the attitude of the
troops in the Baltic provinces is re-
garded as the most dangerous factor
that has thus far developed.
A strike of the policemen and the
house porters of St. Petersburg is
scheduled for tomorrow Sunday.
Count Witte continues to refuse to
deal with the telegraphers, declaring
that for the government to yield would
be equivalent to it's abdication at their
order. Nevertheless the surrender of
the government to their demand for
the dismissal of M. Durnovo, acting
minister of the interior, is regarded as
inevitable.
Instructions to the governors and
the local authorities are being sent
with great difficulty over the railroad
telegraph lines.
