Engineer Gave Life For Passengers

]. D. Waterman, of ChilliLothe, Ohio,
an engineer on the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern railroad died hero Mon
day afternoon, voluntarily sacrificing
his own life in order to save the lives of
the passengers who had been entrusted
to his care.
He left Parkersburg at 3:15 p. m. on
the Parkersburg and Midland City ac-
cemmodation. Twenty miles out, near
Coolville, Ohio, as the train rounded a
sharp curve, it come suddenly upon a
huge boulder, as big as house, which
had slipped down the steep hillside upon
the track.
Jump" said he to o. B. Day, his
fireman, who obeyed the order. Be-
fore he jumped, he tried topersuade the
engineer to do so, too, but Waterman
only shook his head.
1t was an instant's work to throw on
the airbrakes and then to reverse his
engine. But the train could not be
stopped in time to prevent the collision,
nor was there time, after he had done
all that, for the engineer to jump.
When search was made the crew found
him at his post, with his hand still on
the throttle, crushed to death.
He was sixty-fve years old and had
been a railroad man forty-fve years.

Witte Will Retire.

St. Petersburg, March 19.-In high
circles late tonight the rumor was cur
rent that Count Witte had definitely de-
cided to retire from the premiership.
The Associated Press is unable to con-
firm the rumor, as Count Witte had re-
tired and the chancellery was closed
when the. correspondent called shortly
after midnight. From an absolute au-
thentic source, however, it can be stat
ed that Count Witte, at session Of the
council of the empire this after
noon, made an enigmatical statement
which is interpreted by many mem
bers of the council as virtual decla-
ration that his career as premier is
ending and that he will be succeeded by
Privy Councillor Kodovsoff, former
minister of finance.

GOVERNOR DEFENDS ARMY
Declares the Method Pursued was the
Only One That Would Have
Been Effective

Washington, March 19.-The House
today reached a compromise on the
question of abolishing the grade of lieu
tenant general in the army by provid-
ing that it shall not become effective
until October IL next, in order that
Generals Corbin and Macarthur may be
promoted before their retirement.
An important bill, declared to be the
first step towards a reorganization OF
the consular service, was passed. The
bill already has been acted upon by the
Senate. 1t reclassifies the service and
increases salaries to the extent OF
$17O, 900 year.
During the completion of the general
debate on the legislative bill, Mr..
Grosvenor, of Ohio, came to the de-
fense of the army in the Mount Dajc
battle, and was replied to briefly by Mr..
Williams, the minority leader, who as
serted that all criticism was based on
the official reports so far received.
Mr.. Grosvenor defended the army.
"This gang of Moros," he said, "be-
long to class of pirates and profess
ional thieves. They were an organized
band of murderers who never surren-
der, but fight until the last one of them
is dead"
In answer to the recent criticism of
Mr.. Jones (Virginia) that the mountain
should have surrounded and the Moros
starved into surrender, Mr.. Grosvenor
remarked that Mr.. Jones was a farmer
by profession; that the mountain was
fifteen miles around, making this sort
of a siege impossible.
"There was but one way to get them
out, and that was exactly the plan the
American soldiers executed"
The retirement of aged clerks re-
ceived the attention Of the House for
more than an hour, during which the
debate was general, while Mr.. Tawney,
chairman Of the Appropriations Com
mittee, held the floor in advocacy of
the seventy-year retirement provision
in the bill.
The House adjourned until tomorrow.

Big Furniture Sale.

The Tazewell Supply Company, at
North Tazewell, is advertising big fur
niture sale, to take place from the End.
to the 7th day of April, inclusive. This
is likely to be large and attractive
sale. The Supply Company has the
largest store in this section, more floor
space, carries more different kinds of
goods than any store in this section,
and in fact is real Department Store.
The Company receives its goods in
carload lots, giving them very great
advantages over competitors. They
will make their furniture sale interest
ing to both competitors and buyers.

TWENTY MINERS LOSE LIVES
Snowslldes Cut 600 Miners Off From all
Outside Communication.

Ouray, Col, March 19.-It is feared
that at least twenty miners have lost
their lives in the snowslides which have
cut 600 miners off from all outside COM
munication those employed in the va
rious mines within radius Of twenty
miles from Ouray. The exact number
of deaths will not be known for days
AS many as twenty-five miners are COM
pletely isolated. The damage may
reach 81, 1,OOO,OOO.
At the Camp Bird Mine, which is
four miles from the Bird mill, a snow
slide late last evening completely isola-
ted fifty or more miners employed there
and as the provision house was carried
away, it is certain they are in urgent
need of food. A party of 200 miners
started to their rescue.
The body of William. ]. Cressey, an
Englishman, who lSst his life . the
slide at the Camp Bird mill, has been
recovered. 1t is saidthere is sixty feet
of snow at the high tower of the tram
way of the Camp Bird and the snow is
very deep all along the route Of the
tramway.
In the Imogene basin the snow is very
deep from $50 to 300. .sgeet deep. This
will prevent work on the reconstruct
ion of the tramway for few weeks.
Denver, COL, March 19.-Fair wealth
er, with rising temperature, to-day fol-
lowed the severe snow-storm which has
prevailed over Colorado for full week
with brief intermissions. Last night

here, the temperature falling five de-
grees be.Jw zero. At Cheyenne, Wyo.,
it was twelve degrees below zero.
Many snowslides hare already occurr-
ed in the mountains but up to this time
there has been no heavy loss of life re-
ported. NThe, losses from destruction
of mine property in the vicinity Of Ou-
ray, Telluride, Rico, Silverton and 9TH
er mining camps is heavy.
Durango and other towns in the San
Juan region, in Southwestern Colorado,
