Perjury Penalties.

Perjury. besides being one Of the
Oldest of offenses in the catalogue Of
crime. has always been very severely
punished. With the advance Of civili-
cation. however. tiendish punishments
have been replaced by more humane if
still severe penalties. In the days of
the Roman empire any one who com.
mitted perjury was thrown from a
precipice. while the Greeks branded
their false swearers. 1t is interesting
to note that when the latter embraced
the Christian religion the punishment
was altered to that of having the
tongue cut out. sort of punishment
which was considered to fit the crime
In the early centuries. In the middle
ages some countries adopted the sys
tenn of giving the perjurer the punish
ment for the crime he falsely accused
another of. Thus if he swore q neigh
Dor had committed murder and the
charge was disproved the perjurer
would be sentenced to death, and the
other penalties of the penal code were
exacted for the particular crime al
legged

DYNAMITE HuRLS
TRAIN FROM TRACK
TWO ENGINES CRASH INTO RANK
CAUSED BY EXPLOSION
IN MONTANA.
Mail Car Is Shattered and the Ex.
press Thrown Into Ditch-All
Hands Safe But One,

Butte, Mont, May 2.-Eastbound
Burlington train No. 6, due in Butte
at 1880 last night, was dynamited
about mile west of the Northern
Pacific station at 1887 o'clock. The
explosion caused the first or helper
engine to leave the rails, but it
plowed along for a few hundred feet
without turning over. The second
engine crashed into the bank south
OF the track for a few car lengths
from where the explosion occurred
Every person on the train has beer
accounted for excepting Engineer
Busy of the second engine.
Carl Mango, who was riding on the
blind baggage, had TO be taken from
the mass of timbers under which he
was buried. His arm and leg were
broken. Fireman George Ehle OF
the second engine was badly scalded.
They were hurried to the hospital In
a police patrol wagon from the scene
OF the wreck as quickly as possible
after the news was received.
Locomotive No. 21O0, in charge OF
Engineed Busy and Fireman Ehlc.
is lying on its side south Of the track.
The mail car. which was right he.
hind It, was hurled on its side All
badly wrecked. A cold storage fish
car was next to the mail car and 1t
was smashed into kindling wood.
Following the fish car was the ex-
press car. Only the front trucks
of the express car left the track.
The baggage car was derailed. only
the Pullmans remaining on the track.
Express Messenger J. B. Valentine
was seriously bruised. being badly
cut by flying grenade. His escape
from death in his car Is considered
miraculous.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife, according to the crew Of the
first engine, the engine being lifted
bodily off the tracks.
The general theory Of the explo-
sion is that the dynamite was placed
directly on the rails. but 1t Is impos-
sible to say whether time fuse or
some sort Of percussion cap was at
tached to the explosive. The dyna-
hitting is believed by the officers to
be the work Of some hoboes in re-
venge for being elected from train.

ORCHARD HOPES FOR DEATH.
Says Life in Penitentiary Is Worse
Than HAnging.

IMAM hanging.
Boise. Misunderstanding that life
at the Idaho penitentiary Is far worse
than death, because other prisoners
refuse to have anything to do with
him, and that he is completely iso-
lated from human companionship
Harry Orchard has expressed the
hope that the Idaho Board of Par
dons will not interfere with the sent
ence OF death pronounced by Judge
Wood.
The board of Pardons meets this
week in special session to consider
the case. and unless favorable action
is taken on the recommendation of
Judge Wood, Orchard will be execut-
ed on May Is. Orchards attorney
will present to the Board the recon-
mendation of Judge Wood, and 1t is
understood no one will appear before
the Board to protest against COM
mutation of sentence. The Board
is composed of Governor Gooding,
Secretary of State Lansdon and At
torney General Guheen.

Mrs. Beu1ah Hawkins Found by the
Nurse Sitting Tn,

Los Angeles, Cal, May AFTER
an unbroken sleep which extended
over a period of So days, Mrs. Bue-
lah Hawkins, a patient at the County
Hospital, awakened early yesterday
morning and asked for a drink of
milk. Her return to consciousness
was entirely unexpected and came
several hours after she had been
taken from the clinic room, where
she was subjected to observation by
members of the County Medical So
ciety.
A nurse, attracted by the sound OF
rapping, entered Mrs, Hawkins room
to find the patient sitting up in bed
with her eyes open. Physicians were
summoned and the woman talked ra-
tionally with them for some time.
1t was found that she was able to
stand and had full control of her
faculties, although still weak.

Hold Tn Train in Pittsburg Suburb.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 1.-Two train

New York and St. Louis express on
the Panhandle Railroad OF the Penn
sylvania system, at the Union Sta
ton In this city, when that train left

powered the express messenger and
got away with four bags Of currency,

committed near Walkers Station, a
particularly lonely and isolated spot
in a rough section of country about
II miles west of the city.
