HAITIAN War is ON
REBELS WIN FIRST BATTLE
With EASE.
Insurgents, Under Command Of General
Simon, Are Now Marching on Pors
au Prince-Paris Hears the News
Wants the United States to Settle
the War.

Port au Prince, Nov. 30.-The revo-
lutionists, under command of General
Antoine Simon, the former commander
of the department of the south, follow
ing up their Victory over the govern
ment forces at Anse Veau, are push
ing up to Port au Prince. They have
driven back the government troops
many miles and have seized the towns
of Miragoane and Petit Goane. 1t is
believed that General Celestin Cyriaque,
minister of war, who took refuge in the
German consulate of the former town,
is still there, but it is feared that there
will be many assertions to the revolu-
tionary army.
President Nord Alexis has energeti-
cally rejected the suggestion that he
give up the struggle and the govern
ment is now actively engaged in or
ganizing it's forces for strong resist
ance. Three divisions of well-disci-
plined troops, under command of Gen
eral Andree, minister of the interior,
occupy position near the city. These
troops are entrenched at the CONVEX
gence of three roads and hold a com
handing position
The south approach to the city is be
ing fortified, and Forts Bisoton and
Mercredi, mounting modern artillery
command the road. Just how long il
will take the revolutionists to come
from Miragoane, which is about sc
miles from Port au Prince, is matter
of doubt, but as there are no govern
ment forces to check them they are
likely to reach this city within AZ
hours. The engagement will be serious
and it is thought that forces may bt
landed from the warships now in the
harbor for the purpose of preventing
pillage and injury to the foreign resi-
dents. At present there is much ex
citement in this city.
Rebel Leader Strong Man.
General Simon, who was commando
of the department of the south for q
years, is recognized as a strong mai
and exceedingly popular. He was or
dered a month ago by President NorC
Alexis to come to this city to confe
with the president on political matters
but, fearing that if he did so his lif
would be in danger, General Simon de
clined to obey, and made ready to repe
any attack of the government.

Millions to Beet Growers.

Denver-A Greeley dispatch Sunday
night says:
Tomorrow morning the Great West.
ern Sugar Company will pay the grow
ers in the Greeley, Windsor and Eaton
districts s415,O00 for beets delivered
since November 18th and with the pay
ment made December 1st for beets de-
livered from November 1st to Novem.
ber 18th, which amounted to $305,000
for the three factories, the Sugar com,
pany has put into circulation in the
Greeley district among the beet grow
ers S715,000 this month.
All hut the sliced portion of the crop
has been made into sugar. January
10th over $25O,OOO will be paid for 81
loed beets. This will make total of
approximately SS,000,000 paid to the
beet growers in the Greeley district
this ceason. Employees of the COM
pany will have received $3.50, 900 dur
ing the campaign. All beets will be
delivered by December 2Sth and by
January 18th the campaign will end
for this season.
Up to this morning 11,150 acres of
beets had been contracted for the Gree
ley factory, and Eaton and Windsor
have each contracted several thousand
acres. So eager are the farmers to
continue to engage in the beet growing
industry that all contracts it is be-
lievetl will be signed by January list.
The Sugar company will take 25,0OO
acres in the Greeley district next sea
son, 5000 acres more than were re-
ceived this year.
Field superintendent Timothy says
that during his residence of ten years
in Colorado there never has been a
better outlook for beet crop the COM
ing season than now. The heavy snow
fall and the freezing of the ground
particularly being counted favorable
for the success of the beet crop.

Terrible snowsIide Experience.

Denver.-A Crested Butte dis
patch says: Escaping one snowslide
to be caught in another which buried
him and swept his four horses to their
death in the gulch, Andrew Mosher
was rescued from death by his dog,
only to be caught by a third slide and
buried a second time several feet deep
under the white terror of the noun
tains and was again dug out by his
faithful dog.
Mosher> and w. F. Stockman start
ed from Gothic with supplies for the
Mountain King mine, six miles distant.
They had gone four miles when the
first slide swept over the trail SO close
that they were showered with white
spray and fragments of debris which
swirled under the cliff that protected
them. Stockman turned back but Mo-
sher continued toward the mine and
was caught by the other two slides. He
was severely injured, but managed to
reach the mine.
Stockman was found frozen nearly
to death and injured by his battle with
the elements. Both men were out
three nights, and their escape from
death is considered most remarkable.

ASKS FUNDS FOR
HEALTH FARM
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN STARTED BY
THE YOUNG MEMS CHRIS
TIAN ASSOCIATION.
HOPE TO RAISE $4,000
LARGER QUARTERS ARE NEEDED
AND MONEY HAS COME IN
SLOWLY.

Denver.-An energetic campaign is
about to be started by directors of the
Y. M. C. A. in order to raise funds for
the health farm located at Edgewater
The hope of the directors is that they
may raise $4,000 or $4,000 for the
furtherance of the work at the farm.
Larger quarters are needed, as many
of the most deserving young men are
unable to find accommodations there.
At the present time there are thirty
three men located at the farm. The ca
pacity is limited to fifty persons. In
winter there are usually several va
cancies, but in the summer hundreds
are turned away. The money raising
campaign is to be undertaken in Colo
RADIO first and then in the East. Some
of the wealthiest philanthropists have
either refused to aid in the work or
have put off making their donations
until a later date. Although rebuffed
for the present the Y. NJ. c.. A. direc-
tors declare they will not give up but
will keep at it until they raise all the
money needed to carry on the work
successfully.
The Y. NJ. C. A. health farm is for
INDECENT young men consumptives. A
small charge is made, but the rates are
so low and the terms of payment
so easy that even the poorest young
man can afford to live at the farm.
Those who are totally without funds
are taken care of without charge and
render small services in exchange for
their board and room. Tents and cot
tages are used in housing the sick men.
Medical attention is given the patients
without charge. The medical staff is
headed by DR.. Candy, a well known Y.
| NJ c. A worker.

ing nowadays" said the New York
woman plaintively. Last Saturday 7
was in my butchers getting the Sun
day roast, and the woman who sat oe'
side me was buying lamb chops; de-
licious, tender-iooking ones, at only 16
cents pound. Now my husband never
eats lamb, and l never buy it in conse-
quence; but l knew that that was
an unheard-of price for such chops as
those After the woman had departed

me:

was frank about 1t.

REPORT or SALE
is CONFIRMED
JAMES J. HILL NOW IN CONTROL
OF COLORADO & SOUTHERN
RAILWAY.
TRUMBULL TO RETIRE
HILL SYSTEM WILL BE COMPLETE
FROM PUGET SOUND TO GAL
VESToN.

Denver.-The Republican Tuesday
morning says: The sale of the con-
trolling interest in the Colorado G
Southern railway was closed in New
York yesterday and with it came the
announcement that Pres. Frank Trum-
bull would resign temporarily from ac-
tive business. The purchaser is the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway,
better known as the Burlington
Road"
With the requirement of the Colo
RADIO & Southern, James j. Hill con-
trolls four of the largest railway sys-
tens IN the country, with total of
about 23,357 miles. The sale was rat
flied at a meeting of Colorado & South
ern directors in New York.
By this deal Hill parallels the lines
of his railroad enemy, E. H. Hartman,
between the Pacific and the Gulf of
Mexico, and realizes one of his great
ambitions to put on his rails the bulk
of the traffic between the Orient and
the Atlantic ocean ports of two con-
tinents.
This traffic carried from Puget
Great Northern roads billed for Gal
weston, will all come through Denver
and be carried south to the Gulf over
the Colorado & Southern. What this
means to the commerce of this city
can be estimated far into the millions
of dollars annually.
The Colorado & Southern road will
continue under the present manage
ment. The men who have aided in
building up the system to its perfect
condition are told by President Trum-
bull not to worry about their jobs
that there will be work under the new
owners for more men than are now en-
ployed.
1t is expected the connecting link,
Orin junction to Thermopolis, Wyom-
ing, WILL be constructed at once.
The telegram from President Trum-
bull announcing the close of the sale
was given out last night by w. A.
Webb, assistant to Vice President A.
d. Parker. 1t follows:

The last execution at Tyburn took
place on Friday, Nov. Z, 1888. in the
person Of John Austin, convicted on
the preceding Saturday Of robbing
John Spicer and cutting and wound
ing him in cruel manner. In Wal
ford's "Old and New London" it is err
roneously said that 1.-THE last criminal
executed here was one Ryland, who

William Ryland was executed on Aug.

Austin's conviction. and many a poor
wretch made the fatal pilgrimage to
