B. & O. RAILROAD COMPANY
GETS FIVE INDICTMENTS
FOR CAR Discrimination

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company has been indicted here by
the United States grand jury for
discrimination against coal opera
tors. Fhe grand jury just before
final adjournment at $40 o'clock
Saturday afternoon returned five
such indictments against the rail-
road company.
They are based on the charge that
the company Disseminated against
the Philippi Coal Mining Company,
the Hutchinson Fuel and Meadow
brook Coal Companies, the Pennsyl-
vania Coal Company, and the Red
Rock Fuel Company.
The indictments are founded on a
section Of the interstate commerce
law that has never been tested in the
criminal courts Of the United States,
and they deal mostly with the alleg-
ed charge that there was an unfair
distribution of cars to these com
panies. The claim is made they did
not receive their entitled allotment
of cars, while mines adjacent on the
same line of railroad received more
cars than they were entitled 10.

IN Virginia.
The men were the victims of an
exploding boiler on Engine No. 230O
hauling train 81 an eastbound slow
freight at Wilsonburg at 40 o'clock
Saturday morning. To be accurate
tie accident happened directly in
the rear Of the postofice, one-half
mile from the depot in a section of
the town known as Johnstown.
With detonation that could be
heard a great distance accompanied
by a shock that caused the residents
to believe that an earthquake had
visited them, the immense boiler
let 90. Railroad men are Of the
opinion that carelessness on the part
of the deceased engineer. Board, was
responsible. He had just pulled out
from the siding at the summit. When
nearly at the foot of the grade at
this point and going at the rate of
four miles an hour, the conductor
and rear brakeman, who were in the
caboose, felt the speed of the train
slacken and could not account for it.
In a very short time they felt the jar
and presently the train came to n
stop. The conductor started ahead
to ascertain the cause of the delay
When about half the distance to
the engine had been traversed by him
he encountered the fireman, War
mack, who was not in possession of
zhis proper senses. The man was
running up and down the track cry
ing that he was hurt but could tell
nothing as 10 what had happened.
BY that time several residents of
the town were about and one took
tl1e injured Fireman to his home
where he was cared for. The con-
iluctor, accompanied by John Wick
cnhoffef. whose home is nearby, went
a little farther and found Brakeman
Bond, who was living between the
main track and the siding. He
had horrible hole in his head and
his brains were scattered over the
ground. They at once saw that he
was beyond hSman aid and started a
search for the engineer. Mr.. Wick
enhofter procured n lantern and
made a thorough search.
Board Blown 200 Feet.
He found Boards body more than
200 feet from the scene of the acci-
dent. He had been blown backward
and slightly to the right his body

swamp, evidently feet first and from
there bouncing some twenty feet. his
head eneountering with terrible
force a fence-post, cutting a bad

rolled some twenty feet further and
was found by Wickenhoffer. OF
course life was extinct.
Bond had evidently been blown
straight up in the air and fell almost
in the exact place where the boiler
let 60. Portions of the cab and
pipes and the like were scattered all
around the scene for many yards and

machinery in the cab we're found

that he was blown directly over the

The Glorious Fourth

Douglas Island celebrated the Fourth of July. People from all over South, eastern Alaska came to help make the day a grand and glorious success. From Ketchikan to Skagway the towns and mining camps were represented Ketchikan sent delegation of about sixty, and as many more came from Skagway. The people of Juneau aban- doned their homes and came over in great crowds. The weather was perfect, clear and warm.
 The hose races were held at Tread we'll at 9 a. m. The "Mexican" boys won first prize, S150.O0; Douglas Hose Go. No. l, second, S1OOOO; and Ready Bullion, third, $50. The run was 75 yards to hydrant, lay 300 feet of hose and get water. The time was Mexican, B seconds, Douglas, 25 1-5, Bullion, 30.
 The baseball games started at 1 o'clock, p. m. Four teams participated; Ketchikan, Skagway, Juneau and Douglas. Ketchikan and Douglas played the first game, and Douglas won Il a score of 5 to 2. Next came the ,:ame between Juneau and Skagway. Tn. 'orner won by score of 19 to 3. Then came the final struggle between the twc winners, Juneau and Douglas. It was notly contested, but Juneau won by score of 5 to 1. Fully 5000 people witnessed the games. Natatorium Hall was crowded with dancers in the evening. In fact the crowd was almost too big for the large hall.
 The Ketchikan Indian Band, of g pieces, attended the celebration and played several tunes.
 The tin horn, and windjammer with it's horrible din, made the efforts of the Juneau band almost seem like music. 1 The firemen's races at Treadwell were we'll worth seeing, and showed that the firemen of Douglas Island are not slow.
 For the first time in years the works at Treadwell were shut down, and the employees given fine holiday.
 For so large crowd there was very little drunkenness or disorder in Douglas during the celebration.
 Douglas takes the banner for the big crowd and the big celebration.

 Douglas children know very little about horses. A few days ago juVen- ile base ball game was in progress, and the interest seemed intense. A loose horse came galloping down Third street. One youngster shouted; "Look at King run. Amt he goin' some?" In moment the game was forgotten, and with one accord the players raced toward the street to stop the horse. One lad edged toward the horses head. "Whoa King" But King was not willing to be caught and whirled away, when one excited boy yelled at the top of his voice: "Ketch him by the other end"
 Although the Douglas baseball team failed to capture the cup and the big prize at Skagway on June 30, the boys came home feeling jubilant. When they reached Skagway, Whitehorse and Skagway were playing game that resulted in victory for the latter, ,sccre Il too. Douglas and Juneau then took the field and played game that will go down in history as one of the best of all Alaska games. Douglas won by a score of 2to O. Then came the final struggle, Douglas against Skagway. This too was prettty contest, but the Douglas boys were not as fresh as in the former game and lost. The score l was Skagway ', Douglas 3.

REPORT ON STATEHOOD.
Conference Agreement Reached but
Bill In Danger.

Washington - Conferees on the
statehood bill Saturday signed a report
covering all points in dispute, but ex-
ception was taken by the Democrats to
the agreement in relation to Arizona
and New Mexico. They refuse to ac-
cede to the terms of the House bill,
which they say provides elaborate
machinery" for the coming election
land is intended to coerce voters to
favor joint statehood"
The opposition to the admission OF
New Mexico and Arizona as one state
has been led from the first by Senator
Foraker. BY the aid of few Republi-
cratic strength he has succeeded In
preventing an agreement on any meas
ure that would not give the people OF
either territory the right, at a special
election, to repect joint statehood.
BY the agreement signed to-day the
people of these territories can vote
separately on the question Of statehood
at the regular election November 9Th,
at which time territorial officers OF the
proposed new state are elected and a
vote upon the constitution, heretofore
adopted, is also to be had.
When the conference report was pre-
scented to the Senate Senator Foraker
declared that 1t was not acceptable to
him and he would do his utmost to de.
feat 1t. Senator Bailey declared that
the agreement would not be accepted
by the Democrats. The indications
are, therefore, that the report will pre-.
cipitate another sharp contest in the
Senate.
