HERR MOST is DEAD
NOTORIOUS ANARCHIST EXPIRES
AT CINCINNATI AFTER A
BRIEF ILLNESS.

Cincinnati, March 17.-Herr Johann
Most, the anarchist, died in this city
during the day of erysipelas.
Herr Most came to this city on Mon
day on the invitation of friends and
has been the guest Of Adclph Kraus Of
Cutter street. He was to have deliv-
cred lecture in Chicago on Wednes
day night, but on account of an attack
of erysipelas he was obliged to cancel
his engagement, although the attack
was not regarded as serious. Up to
a few hours before his death his ply
sician expressed confidence that his
patient would soon recover.
Herr Most was delirious most of the
time during his last few days illness,
suffering greatly, but occasionally re,
peating parts of his most famous
speeches, using the German language,
with which he was naturally most
familiar. During the larger part of
the night he was unconscious, but dur
ing the morning he regained conscious
ness for short time and at o'clock
seemed much more cheerful and ap-
parently was suffering little pain.
Later he again became unconscious
and gradually his strength left him
and soon after noon he died. With
him at the end were a few of his
friends in this city who had been car
ing for him during his sickness.

THOUSANDS PERISHED
Loss OF LIFE FROM FoRMosAN
EARTHQUAKE LARGER THAN
FIRST REPORTED.

London, March 81. According to the
Daily Telegraph's correspondent at
Toxic it is now estimated that several
thousand persons were killed by the
recent earthquake in Formosa. The
whole island was shaken from early
morning on Saturday until late at
night, the shocks being almost con-
tinuous. On the same day slight
shocks were felt in Japan. Before the
following morning five distinct shocks
occurred at Kumamoto. kilograms
from Formosa state that the prosper
GUS towns Of Datiyo, Raishiko and
shinko were completely destroyed. At
Kagi alone 1000 natives and seven
Japanese were killed. At Datiyo 600
bodies have been recovered from the
open fields, to which the people had
fled only to succumb to their injuries.
At a rough estimate the damage
amounts to $4,000, 900.

Are Burned to Death.

Pueblo, Colo, March 17.-Failure by
a telegraph operator to deliver mes
sage to the crew OF Denver and Rio
Grande passenger train resulted In a
head-on collision with another passen-
ger train near Florence, Colo, early In
The morning. At least twenty-one
lives were lost and twenty three per-
sons were injured. Many Of the
corpses were consumed by the fire,
which swept the wreck, and It is
doubtful If n full list Of the casualties
will ever be known.
The wreck was accompanied by hor-
rors only slightly less than those Of
the Eden disaster, which occurred
Aug. Z, 1901. on the same line. The
flames followed the collision almost
instantly and those who failed to
reach the doors or windows at once
were deprived of all chance for life.
Some were smothered by the first
burst of fire following the explosion
of the gas tanks on the cars, but many
were caught by broken seats and tim
bers and incinerated by inches.
The trains were the Utah-C California
express No. 3, westbound from Denver,
and the Colorado-New Mexico express
No. 16 eastbound from Leadville and
Grand Junction They met on q
sharp curve and were less than 200
yards apart when the engineers dis
covered that a collision was imminent.
Walter Coslett, engineer OF the west
bound train, used every possible
means to prevent the crash and went
to his death with his hand on the
throttle, faithful to his charge. This
much is vouched for by his fireman, j.
H. Smith, who, seeing the uselessness
of remaining, jumped and saved him
self. The engine crew OF the east
bound train died at their posts.

apples, all Of which had matured and
were equal in size, flavor and perfec-
tion to any apples raised in any part
of the United States. All the six
counties of the Black Hills were rep
resented, but the industry is unusually
well developed around Spearfsh.
