DOUBLE TRAGEDY OCCURS IN
CENTER OF NEW YORK FINAN-
cIAL DISTRICT.
LOST HIS ALL on The MARKET
REFUSAL TO EXTEND FURTHER
CREDIT CAUSES TIL. rRAe.
EDY.

New York, Dec. %. - James H.
Oliphant, senior member of the stock
exchange firm of James H. Oliphant &
Co., died from bullet wound in.
flicted at his Office yesterday after
noon by Charles A. Geiger, custom.
er from Beaufort, S. c., who after fir
ing upon Oliphant killed himself.
The men were closeted in Oil
plants private Office at the time and
all that is known of what Immediately
preceded the shooting was learned
from the lips of the dying broker. Oil
plant said that his refusal to extend
further credit to Geiger caused the
tragedy. There is reason to believe,
however, that Geiger had become
mentally irresponsible.
Dope Showed $3,o0o,o0o
A notebook found upon his person
contained computation by which the
writer apparently had figured that he
would be worth 100000 by Jan. 1,
1908. He actually possessed, so far
as his personal effects showed, less
than $11.
Geiger owed the ELEPHANTS $4,000
and had been asked for a settlement.
He called at their Office yesterday,
and after explaining that he could not
meet the obligation asked that the
firm advance him sufficient credit to
carry 5000 shares of certain stock
until rise in the price should yield
him profit. His proposition was re-
fused and the shooting followed.
Causes Big Sensation.
Papers found in the room which
Geiger occupied Thursday night in the
Holland house indicate that he had
lost no less than $4,000 in dealing
in Steel common, and that he still
; owed the ELEPHANTS $4,000. 1t was also
indicated by these papers. and partial
ly confirmed by acquaintance, that
Geiger had lost all he possessed, and
that when he went to the brokers' Of
flee yesterday it was in the hope of Sc.
curing credit through which he might
recuperate his fortune.

DAMAGING TO pETTIsoNE.
Boy Gives Evidence corroboratina
Orchard.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 21. - New and
damaging testimony was presented by
the state yesterday in the trial of
George A. Pettibone for the murder of
Former Governor Steunenberg. Char
lie Neville, seventeen years old, son Of
John Neville, whom Orchard said he
was directed by Meyer to kill because
he knew too MUCH" was the chief
witness of the day, telling of his hunt
ing trip with his father and Orchard.
On the night of the independence de-
pot explosion, he said, Orchard left
their camp early in the night and did
not, return until dawn, corroborating
Orchards testimony on that point.
When the trio went to Denver, young
Neville said, he and his father went to
Pettibone's store and his father had
long talk with Pettibone, part of
which he overheard.
"Then will squeal," was one of the
remarks he said he overheard his ia

TO HEAR MINERS PROPOSITION.
Possibility That Compromise Can Be
Made Is Most Remote.

Made Is Most Remote.
Goldf1eld, New, Dec. 21.-The mine
owners of Goldfield will listen to the
proposition that Attorney o. N. Hill
ton, acting for the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, has to present, al
though there is but the most remote
possibility that any compromise can
be made at this late day.
What the proposition is that Attor.
ney Hilton has to offer has not yet
been revealed, but the mine owners
are emphatic in their statement that
no compromise looking to the aban-
donment of the position taken by
them, that any miner who goes to
work must renounce the Western Fed
Grafton, will be accepted.
Attorney Hilton announced that he
is authorized to make important con-
cessions, even to the removal of some
of the members of the Western Fed.
Grafton who may be considered by the
mine owners as agitators from the
camp.
Gen. Funston left Goldfield yester.
day for San Francisco. President
Roosevelt has asked for more infor-
nation regarding conditions here
forthwith.

$50 MORE ARE KILLED IN NINE
THIRD EXPLOSION THIS MONTH
IN slTUMiNoUs COAL RE.
GloN.

Jacobs Greek, Pa, Dec. 21.-An ex.
plosion of gas in the Darr mine Of the
Pittsburg Coal company here yester.
day entombed between 100 and $50
miners, and there is scarcely a ray
of hope that a single one will be taken
from the mine alive. Partially wreck
ed buildings in the vicinity Of the
mine and the condition Of the few
bodies found early in the rescue work
indicate an explosion of such terrific
force that it seems impossible that
any one could have survived it. All
of the bodies taken out were terribly
mutilated and three of them were
headless.
Third Disaster This Month.
This is the third mine disaster
since the first of the month in the
veins of the bituminous coal underly-
ing Eastern Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, fog the Naomi mine, near
Fayette City, and the two mines at
Monogah, w. Va, in which the earlier
explosions happened, are in the same
belt as the local workings. Yester-
days catastrophe swells the number
of victims of deadly mine gas for the
nineteen days to between $50 and
GOO.
That yesterdays disaster does not
equal or even surpass in loss of life
and attendant horrors the one in. West
Virginia is due to the devotion to
church duties of considerable num-
Der of the miners. In observance Of
the church festival many of the 400
or more men employed at the mine
did not go to work yesterday morn
ing.
Shock Felt for Miles.
1t was just 1890 o'clock, when the
tenth trip of loaded cars had been
brought out to the tipple, there came
an awful rumbling sound, followed i'm
mediately by a loud report and con-
cussion that shook nearby buildings
and was felt within radius of several
miles. At the same time there came
out of the mouth Of the mine an i'm
mense cloud of dense smoke and dust
that floated across the Youghiogheny
river. Intuitively eve = one in the vi
cinity knew what had happened, and
all started for the mouth of the
mine.
Only One Escaped.
AS far as known only one man who
went to work yesterday morning es.
capped. William Remington, superin-
tendent of the mine; quickly organ
lied rescuing parties, starting one
force of twenty-five men, with relays
at short intervals, in the main entry
and similar force at side entry. It
is hoped to reach the greater part of
the victims through the latter. So
far little trouble has been encountered
on account Of gas or hot air by the
rescuers.

BRUTAL TREATMENT OF INSANE.
Stories Of Cruelty Told Of Manhattan
Hospital in New York.

New York, Dec. 22.-Stories Of al
legged cruelties and brutalities prac-
ticed upon defenseless insane patients
by attendants were told yesterday in
the hearing of the lunacy commission
appointed by Gov. Hughes to investi.
gate conditions in the Manhattan
state hospital, Wards Island. John c.
Mccarthy, former attendant, related
instances of alleged i'll treatment Of
patients, who he said were frequent
ly knocked down and kicked for triv-
ial offenses, and whenever the attend
ants were particularly vengeful they
would be hanged" and sometimes
drugged.
DR.. Mccarthy, who worked at the
hospital that he might obtain informa-
ito nconcerning conditions, described
changing" as method of torture. Dr..
Mccarthy said the process was to tie
a towel around patients neck and
twist it until the victim was on the
verge of suffocation. The "hangings,"
DR.. Mccarthy stated, usually took
place in the presence of fifty or sixty
patients, who stood trembling with
fright at what they saw. The witness
said that the attendants gave the pa
tients something that they called
green DOPE" DR.. Mccarthy declared
that there were little or no provoca-
lions for the attacks.

PAY LAST TRIBUTE
TO DEAD MONARCH
FUNERAL OF KING OSCAR IS
GRAND AND SOLEMN cERE.
MoNY.
ALL BUSINESS IS STOPPED
PEOPLE PAY soRRoWFUL AND
SILENT TRIBUTE TO BE.
LOVED RULER.

Stockholm, Dec. 21.-Seldom If ever
in its history has this city witnessed
such a grand and solemn ceremony
as that which yesterday marked the
funeral of King Oscar, who died Dec.
s. Although the weather was bitterly
cold the entire population of Stock
holm and thousands Of visitors from
the country stood bare headed, silent
and sorrowful. along the line Of pro-
cession to catch glimpse of the cas-
ket containing all that remained of
their beloved king. Traffic through
out the city and on the harbor had
been prohibited since early morning.
Herd!y a Sound Heard.
With the exception of the tolling
bells, an occasional hum of voices
and clash of arms as the soldiers
lining the route of the funeral cortege
took up their positions, hardly a
sound could be heard. There was not
even the clatter of horses hoofs or
the rumble of wheels to disturb the
quiet solemnity of the occasion, the
roadway from the palace to the Rid
darholm church, the burial place of
the kings of Sweden, having been COW
cred foot deep with fir twigs.
American Ambassador Present.
The funeral procession included
some 1000 persons, among them being
Gustav, the king of Sweden; the king
Of Denmark, the Swedish princes and
princesses, the ambassadors repre-.
senting foreign monarchs. Charles H.
Graves, the American minister, as
the special representative of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was given a place of
honor Immediately following King
Gustav. The queen of Sweden and
the queen of Denmark drove to the
church, but the dowager queen Of
Sweden, widow Of King Oscar, was
prevented by illness from attending
the funeral.
Gustav Weeps Bitterly.
King Gustav was greatly affected
and he wept bitterly as he passed
through the crowded streets. AS the
funeral procession entered the church
the organ and the orchestra played
Haydn's magnificent dirge, and as the
casket was carried up the grand aisle
by number of sailors, accompanied
by the aids-de-camp of the late SOW
ereign, every eye in the congregation
was filled with tears.
Placed in the Vault.
The members of the royal family
broke out into convulsive sobs. A sa-
lutte of forty-two guns was fired by the
forts and the ships in the harbor and
volleys of musketry burst forth as the
coffin was placed in the vault of the
Bernadottes.
The funeral Grafton was delivered
by the bishop of Lund, who spoke of
King Oscars philanthropy and his de-
votion and affection as a father and
husband.
