4 tramp has beaten all known records by swimming ? miles in thirty minutes. He did not mean to do 1t. He merely tried to steal a ride from St. Louis to Chicago on the rear of a locomotive ten der. When the train started he fell over backward, through the open manhole, into the water-tank. The noise of the train drowned his cries for help, and he was obliged to swim until the first stop was reached, at Alton. When taken out he was nearly dead, but the engineer was so un- feeling as to call his attention to the fact that the water was only four feet deep, and he might have stood up. The conductor, also unfeeling, asked him for hls ticket, but the tramp said he had not come by rail, but by water.

FIVE HUNDRED
MINERS ENTOMBED
Fearful Explosion Wrecks PennsyIva-
MIA CoIIier-AIl Believed to BE Lost
as Fire Is Raging Inside.

Connelsville, Penn, Dec, 19.-(Bulle-
tin. -Four hundred miners are en-
tombed in the Darr mines Of the
Pittsburg Coal Company at Jacobs
Creek, IS miles west of here. Fully
one hundred are Americans, the rest
of whom are most Hungarians A ter
rife explosion shook the country in
the vicinity of the mines at 1880
O'Clock this morning and shortly after
smoke began to issue in heavy clouds
from the mouth Of the mine, which Is
of the slope variety. This circum-
stance in connection with a fire which
is raging inside prevented rescuing
parties up to / o'clock this afternoon
to make any attempt to rescue the un-
fortunate men in the mine. On account
of the violence of the explosion, which
rent the interior of the mine and the
presence of fire, together with the
blocked condition of the mouth of the
slope. 1t is not thought that there Is
ANY chance for the men inside to es-
cape alive. The cause of the explosion

CAMPAIGNING SECRETLY
Movement Being Conducted
By Means of Confidential
Correspondence.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-The Tribune to-
day says:
An underground movement which
has as its object the electing Of Attor-
ney General Charles J. Boneparte to
the presidency, is now In progress.
There is not any evidence to indicate
that Bonapafte himself is aware of the
proceedings of his campaign managers
who are physicians.
The issue is to "exterminate the
criminal classes" The physicians pro-
pose to confine habltual criminals in
asylums and prisons for life. Bona
parte, as he has made known in speech
es, would hang them. The physicians
admit that habitual criminals should
be hanged but are afraid the country is
not yet ready for this.
The movement is being conducted
by confidential correspondence.

SAYS He WAS
OFFERED BR|BE
Witness in Tallm-
adge CaseS Springs
Sensation
SUITS FILED FOR sLANDER
Tallmadge Brothers Appear
as Plaintiffs in Latter
Actions.

Roswell, N, NJ, Dec. 199.-In the
Tallmadge land fraud case now on file
here, counsel for the government an
nounced that they would dismiss In
dictment No AT, charging B. H. Tall.
madge and John F. McGrew with con-
spiracy to defraud the United States,
as against John f. McGrew.
The government called Mr.. McGrew
as a witness in its behalf and he testi-
fled substantially as follows:
That he was acquainted with B. II.
Tallmadge in September, 1904; that
B. II. Tallmadge and Dr. Auld were at
his request witnesses for him at the
time he made use of desert land en-
try; that he requested them to act as
such witnesses and that lie made no
quit claim deed prior to perfecting his
entry on the land and the sale of
same; that he entered the land for his
own benefit and use and had no under
standing or agreement with B. H. Tall
madge or any one else regarding the
sale of same prior to his filing on the
land and up to the time he actually
sold 1t. That he sold the land to B.
II. Tallmadge; that sometime after he
had entered the land he himself paid,
the land Office fees and also the attor-
neys' fees; that the Tallmadges or
any other persons were not interested
in this filing, directly or indirectly
prior to the time he entered the land"
James W. OVerstreet testified that
he entered land for his own use and
benefit and that the Tallmadges had
nothing whatever to do with his filing
and that the land which he filed on
was later relinquished and land script
and patent issued by the government.
Mr.. Overstreet is under indictment
with B. H. Tallmadge, charged with
conspiring the government out OF the
use of public land
He further testified that the special
agents of the government had offered
him money If he would aid them In In
dieting the Tallmadges and promised
to dismiss the case against him II he
would turn states evidence, but Ov-
erstreet swore that he stood pat and
| since he refused to testify against the
iTallmadges, the government dismissed
the case against Overstreet.
Following the offering of this sensa-
tional testimony another sensation was
sprung when suits were filed by the
Tallmadge brothers for $4,000 each
against T. M. Monzingo alleging sland-
er. Both Monzingo and Naylor are
witnesses for the government in the
present trial. Another sensation, 1t is
said, is booked, and 1t is reported that

elaborateness in every detail, perfect
arrangements in every appointment.
The decorations were one OF the strik-
ing features both at the church and
at the house. Christmastide being
near at hand evergreen, mistletoe and
holly entered largely into the decora-
tive scheme and the effect was very
artistic and tasteful. Huge ropes of
evergreen were festooned from the
ceiling of the church and along the
side walls, and the front part of the
church was mass of greenery. Ever.
green ropes entwined around the pill
lars at the sides of the organ loft
were studded with tiny incandescent
lights, and two little floral bells un.
der which the bride and groom stood
while plighting their troth had small
incandescent lights as clappers. The
Haynes residence where the re-
ception was held afterwards was also
very effectively decorated principally
in holly, smilax and mistletoe. The
dining room was particularly pretty.
The smilax was donated by Mrs. G. L.
Wilson, of Fresno, California.
The bridal party proceeded immedi-
ately to the brides home after the
marriage where an informal reception
followed until midnight In the re-
ceiving line besides bride and groom,
who were showered with congratula-
tions by the arriving guests, were the
matron of honor, best man, and Mr..
and Mrs. Haynes, uncle and aunt Of
the now Mrs. Castle, Mrs. Arthur
Seligman and Mrs. A. B. Renehan pre-
sided in the dining room in serving
refreshments, assisted by Misses
