They reside in Cleveland, and from
their position it is thought they were
stealing their passage. The tramps
were stealing a ride on the front end
of the baggage car. It was a deliberate
plot to wreck the train, as a. coupling
pin had been driven into tho switch so
as to hold it open and throw the train.
The engine and tender, the mall, ex
press and baggage cars were thrown
from the track and wrecked. The
coaches and Wagner sleeping ears re-
nint nn the track, and none of the
passengers were seriously hurt, al
though they had a lively shake up.
There is a strong suspicion that these
Interested In the mining situation had
something to do with the train wreck

headquarters of the Hlg Four road that
the train wreckers had hoped to de
stroy a coal train about due. General
Manager Sehaff has offered ft reward

GREATER THAN NIAGARA.
Jfater Being Harnessed Capable of Developing
a Tremendous Horse Power.
The sreatest water power plant in
r the world I to bo In operation within a
few months, If the plans or the corpora

lrom the t. Lawrence river and, by
means of a system of turbines of r.,0O0
liorso power each, operate an electric
plant of almost Incalculable strength.
The plant is in an immense building
iicar Massenn, X. Y., on the United
States side of the St. Lawrence. The
St. Lawrence, in the neighborhood of
Massena, has a fall of 56 feet in a dis
tance f.i about seven miles, and the
Grass river at Massena is CO feet lower
than the St. Lawrence. The plant Is to
be even greater than that at Niagara
Falls, because with all tho force of the
long rapids of the St. Lawrence behind
it there is to be practically no limit to
its potency. As showing the general
confidence in the enterprise. J.l.ouo.nih)
worth of bonds have been underwritten
by an English company to build the
plant.
Claims Against Spain.
A prominent Wnshlngton official,

in excess f Ji5.0n0.0tW, and Is steadily
growing. A large proportion of this
sum is represented by demnnds for in

THE COLD FEYER.
Casital Xakiag PrtparatioBS to Develop the

, ,,-.',,.
either the prospect of suffering; the
hardships of a trip to Alaska nor the
shortage of a supply of provisions Is
deterring the adventurous gold hunter
, ... .i. . hi.
fortunes In the Klondyke. The mills at
Seattle are running day and night fill
ing orders for supplies. Some men who
had purchased their tickets for pas
sage on board of steamers going north
from San Francisco for 500 were able
to resell them for $1,500, so great Is the
demand for accommodatlona In order to
teach the gold fields.
Expeditions are being fitted out all
over this country and In Canada; Great
Britain Is very much Interested, and
Australian gold hunters are already ap
proaching the land of unknown wealth.
That great Interest Is shown by
American capital in the development of
the newly dlse-overed gold field Is shown
by the organization of various compa
nies which are asking the public for
subscriptions to their stock.
The following companies are located
In New York: The Alaska-Klondyke
Yukon-Caribou British Columtda gold
mining developing company, $5,000,000;
the Philadelphia and Alaska gold min
ing syndicate, $500,000; the Exploration
syndicate, $100,000; the Kootenay-Cart-bou
mining and Investment company,
limited, $2,500,000; the Yukon-Klondyke
gold mining and trading company,
lJo.OOO; the Acme development com
pany, $150,000; total, $13,375,000.
From all reports, the Immense
amount of gold which Is being found on
the Klondyke warrants the Investment
of American capital. James R. Keene,
the well-known Wall street operator,
has declared that the principal obstacle
to be overcome In this new mining dis
trict Is that of transportation. This
fact has become apparent to all practi
cal men who have studied the situa
tion. .
LEADER ARRESTED.
A. Warrant Served on Patrick Dolan While
Leading a Band of Btrikari.
The miners' strike took a sensational
turn Monday morning, when Patrick
Dolan while leading BOO strikers
through Turtle Creek. Tft., on their
way to the Plum Creek miners, waa ar
rested by Constable R. B. Speer, who
served a, warrant, charging Dolan with
riot and unlawful assembly. The war
rant was sworn out by Operator De
Armlt. Dolan was soon released on
$000 ball, furnished by Nicholas Oehm.
A Mnnonenh. W. Va.. the wives of
the Polish and Italian strikers attacked ,
some of the colored men who are in me
mines with sticks and attempted to
keep them from going to work, but
when thev were threatened wnn arrest.
they desisted and returned to their.
homes. The mining situation in tne
Fairmont region is not materially
changed. The mines at Hutchinson are
running about one-half their full force,
those at Pritchard about one-third
their force, and seventy-live men are
working at Mononeah. Monongah and
O'Donnell men say they will dig no cool
until the strike is settled. J. A. rlck
Inger, superintendent of tho Monongah
mines, posted bills notifying the strik
ing miners to vacate the company's
houses, claiming that new men would
be here to go to work at once. The
miners think that this Is an attempt to
force them to return to work, and claim
If the houses have to bo vacated that
they will camp out before they will re
turn to work.
At Pittsburg a uniformity agreement
was drafted by coal operators Wednes
day. It contains 21 sections, and when
signed may speedily settle tne miners
strike.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
th Caal aa Xim ladaitria Fraarat lorna
DificultiM.
J.'O. Dun A Co.'a weekly review ot
trade reports:
Dispatches from almost every north
ern city of Importance report without
exception Improvement In business and
from Detroit to Seattle and Portland
splendid crop prospects. The task of
adjusting the business and industries
ot the country to conditions created by
a new law has progressed with gratify
ing rapidity and ease. Even the in
creasing strength of striking coal min
ers probably forwards the adoption of
the uniformity plan, which promises
to remove most of the causes of such
struggles. Some confusion Is caused
by events seemingly contradictory: by
closing ot large cotton mills when
many other works are smarting and by
decline In some prices when others are
advancing, but the balance Is unmis
takably on the right side.
The most important event sine' the
passage of the new tariff, which waa
generally anticipated a week ago, has
been the marked Increase In foreign
demand and advance In price fo
wheat, the latter has risen 4c during
the week, with western receipts for the
first time exceeding last year's and
western railroads besieged for cars and
with Atlantic exports of 1.718.738 bush
els, flour Included, for the week and
6.351.178 bushels In four weeks, against
6,917,865 bushels last year. With heavy
contracts for shipment exceeding 1.200,
000 bushels on a single day, Liverpool
reports of a shipment, from America to
Northern Rohemla and with French
markets excited, speculative sales here
have little Influence. With crop news
still favorable producers may realise
something like $S0,0O0,OOO more than
last year on wheat, which means a
great difference in purchases by agri
cultural states.
The industrial sky Is partly over
clouded by coal and Iron difficulties
and by the closing of some large cotton
mllla. Having run for months far ahead
of consuming demand on cotton bought
at comparatively high prices the mills
see ahead a large crop and cheap cot
ton, and it is but the rational way to
halt production, dear off accumulated
stocks at the season when vacations
are common and begin the new year on
Its own basis.
Selling of wool at Boston, where the
speculation has been most active, Is
suggestive, amounting to 8,848,000
pounds for the week and at three chief
markets to 11.984.500 pounds. Sales for
four weeks have been 46.109,200 pounds,
22,538,500 pounds being domestic,
against 7.211.350 pounds In all Inst year.
Delay In the Iron Industry Is partly
because wages have not been settled at
all works, though at many, and partly
because steadily rising demand does
not yet raise prices. In some products
prices are a shade lower, notwithstand
ing a larger demand, owing to competi
tion between works, but bessemer is a
shade higher. In structural work,
plates, sheets and bars for the enor
mous operations of agricultural imple
ment works, the demand Increases, and
for rolling stock owing to the abund
ance of crops.
Failures for the week have been 236
In the United States, against 281 last
year, and 28 In Canada, against 40 last
year.
ADVICE TO NEGROES.
A Southern Judge Telle Them That This ii a

The special term of court recently

by troops. Judge Hanks told the Jury
thnt the county must be cleared of all
semblance of delny In the administra
tion of Justice. Turning to the specta
tors, he told the whites he would al
low no demonstration of violence, lie
then warned the negroes not to' gather
around the Jail, saying that If their aid
is needed to protect the prisoners they
would be sent for; but that they would
be Imprisoned If they Inflamed the
whites by going armed or making
threats. "Now you negroes go home,
and stay there," concluded the Judge,
"or you will get Into trouble. This Is a
white man's country, and a white man's

Crushing Woight of Office-Seokeri.
Rome Idea of the size of the vast

they saw a number of workmen lifting
up and strengthening the floor of the
large lobby Just outside the president's
office. Thjs floor had sunk no less than
lour Inches from the weights Imposed
upon it. It lies directly above the vast
Kast room, and so e-annot he supported

Ambassador White' at Berlin Is just
now giving close attention to a matter
which promises to involve some diplo
matic complications. It is the case ot

American citixen of New York. Young

become a citizen of the United States,
although his naturalization had not
been perfected. His protest was abso
lutely ignored and he was enrolled In
the Seventy-fourth regiment, stationed
In Hanover. Recently, for the petty
offense of chaffing, he waa struck a
violent blow by his sergeant. Enraged
at the Injustice, young Wessllng felled
his tormentor to the ground and fled.
Late at night he reached the United
States Consulate at Hanover, com
pletely fagged out and half Btarved.

him to surrender to the authorities, and
he Is now awaiting trial on a charge of

punishable in wartime by summary ex
ecution after courtmartial and in time
