CONFESS KI) TO MURDER.
An Unusual Scene at a Revival Meet
ing.
Cedar Falls, Feb. 18. When Mort
Truesdell, of Kenosha, Wis., confessed
at a revival meeting to the murder of a
man named Sheldon, at Leadville, Colo.
September 10, 1890, he Eaid :
"I have been trying to lead a Chris
tian life for several years, but have been
conscious all the time that I was a great
sinner. 1 am guilty of murder and
ready to surrender myself to the officers.
I "want to serve the Lord, and canDot do
it without leaving off this awful burd
en."
To a reporter Truesdell afterward
made the following confession :
"I first met the man I murdered at
Springfield, 111., the 28th day ot July
1890. He and I traveled from there to
Colorado together, I had been a private
detective in Wisconsin. I was still a de-
tective, but had no authority outside of
that state. The fellow s name was Bill
Sheldon or Shelton, I don't "know which
At Tennessee Pass I was taken sick
with mountain fever. I was sick only
one nighV. Sheldon was then with me,
and while I was in bed he rifled my
pockets, taking some private letters
which contained matter showing I was a
a detective, I did not know he took the
letters until, we had trouble the next
day. In the morning we started afoot
for Leadville. When within a few miles
of that city I gave out and cou'd go no
further. Sheldon began swearing at me
and spoke of the letters he had taken
from my pockets.
"He said he had found out that I was
a detective, and would give him the
worst of it for the crooked cases he had
told me of. Hs became enraged, and as
he came in front of me with a knife, I
pulled a revolver and shot him in the
head. I fired two shots. - The first bullet
struck him in the temple. The other
took effect . in the back of the bead.
After the shooting, I laid down the re
volver by Sheldon's side, and took the
knife and a watch and rode into Lead
ville with a farmer. I . do not know
whether the body was ever found or
not."
A Coal Mine Horror In Colorado.
Denver, Feb. 18. A special to the
News from Newcastle, Colo., says : An
explosion occurred at the Vulcan mine
at 11 :20 this morning which was the
most disastrous in the history of this
camp. Tonight dozens of homes in the
little city were desolated. Men who this
' morning left their homes with not a
thought of danger or the awful death
that so surely awaited them, are now
lying lifeless at the bottom of Vulcan
elope. All business is practically sus
pended ; every one is dazed at the awful-
ness of the disaster.
. No warning was given the peaceful
villagers until the sudden, report as from
a hundred cannons resounded through
out tb valley, making the earth trem
ble. The . force of the explosion had
caused a cave-in and the tunnel and air
courses were filled with fallen earth and
timbers.. Both fan houses were wrecked
and the slope and vicinity were, bo full
of debris, and the gas so bad that it was
bard and dangerous work to begin the
rescue. Netherless, willing hands were
soon at work and five men went down at
once to ascertain the condition of the
slope and found it each that it will re
quire much labor to regain the miners.
The gas was so bad that after the party
had gotten 200 feet they were, compelled
to recede. , . , , .
The construction of a temporary fan
house was commenced at once and the
work of pumping fresh air into the mine
will soon begin. It is hardly possible
that any of the miners are still alive.
The only man who got out of the mine
at the time of the explosion was Ed.
Welch j who was near the month of the
tunnel and was blown out. He wbb
breathing . when found, but expired
shortly after. ' ,
Forty-eight men were in the mine
when the explosion occurred. As soon
as the news of the exploeion reached
Newcastle, Supt. Paul Blount closed the
mines of the Colorado Fuel & Iron com
pany, and taking in all his miners, left
for the Vulcan mine, where all are ac
tively at work aiding in the attempt at
rescue.
The cause of the explosion is not yet
known. The coal fields in which the
Vulcan is located have been troubled
with subterranean fires for years. In
manylplaces over a distance of eighty to
100 miles smoke has issued from crevices
in the rocks since the country was first
known to white men and in later years
more than one valuable coal mine has
been destroyed by fire breaking into the
workings.
The Insurgents Victorious.
Havana, Feb. 19. Antonio Maceo
with a large following, yesterday made
an attack upon Jaruco, the largest and
most important town on the railroad be
tween xiavana and Matanzae. The offi
cial report states that the garrison made
a heroic defense, but not a word is Eaic!
of losses on either side or of the damage
inflicted by the insurgents. After the
attack, Maceo left the town and joined
the colnmn led by Gomez, which came
to meet him. It seems evident that
Maceo and Gomez intend to move into
Matanaas and form a junction with the
insurgent forces from the ea9t under
other leaders who have arrived there.
Their course from Jaruco was to Sabina
Robles and LaCabalina, and from there
in the direction of Madruga, which
toward Matanzas.
It is reported that the position of the
troops makes the situation of Gomez
and Maceo compromising.

about a week ago and began divorce pro

her to return to him he threatened to
kill her, and yesterday afternoon made
good his threat, as she was returning
home after doing a day's washing in
South Marshfield. .
When he met her he spoke to her
about leaving him, and was asked -to go
away and leave her alone. As be would
not do this, she sought refuge in Judge
Watson's residence, and a little later
started on her homeward journey, when
he again overtook her. Walking up to
her, he placed a revolver al. her back
and fired'five shots, the first two taking
effect. After the first shot, Mrs. Al

The murderer was pursued by the city
marshal, and captured, alter a resist

Public feeling is very bitter against
him, and talk of lynching is freely in

who bore a good reputation in this com
munity, and made a living for both her
self and husband at the washtnb and by
any work she could get. Albright is a
worthless wretch, given to the drink
habit and was drunk when he killed his
wife.

charge of the Viesta, with a crew of
eight men. At Key West the Viesta
was loaded with arms and ammunition
branded as lard, bacon, etc., and he was
instructed to turn the cargo over to an
insurgent commander. On reaching the
Cuban coast he was chased by. a Spanish
man-of-war and was compelled to beach
his vessel, which be did and then burned
ber in order to keep the Spanish from
getting her. He and his crew struck
out from their landing place, near Mat
anzas, for the inteiior and joined the in

that they, are supplied with guns and
ammunition and also receive supplies of
money regularly from the United States.

Tortured at a Convict Caoip.
St. Louie, Feb. 19. An ' Ocala, Fla,
a special says : .
After 10 days of torture at a convict
camp, whither they had been sent as
tramps, 11 young men were released on
writs of habfeas corps issued by Circuit
Judge Hocker.
Two weeks ago the party reached
Ocala. They were well dressed and
said they were walking to see the country
better, to hunt and fish at will. They
had a lot of novelties for sale. They did
not ask aid, but the day after their ar
rival they were arrested. Justice Clay
sent them to the convict farm as tramps.
At the ranch they were barbarously
treated. They were chained to negroes
and given impossible tasks. Everv
night upon reporting the tasks unper
formed, they were stripped, tied across
logs and .whipped with rawhides until
blood gushed. Last night, the coldest
of the winter, the guards drove them in
to a pond, shouting : "You have been -
wanting a bath ; now get it." Twice a
day they were given'bread, but no meat.
At Judge Hocker's request, they bared
their backs, which were found raw and ,

Johannesburg, South Africa, Feb. 20,
The details are reaching this city to-
day of what is probablv the most disas
trous dynamite explosion on record
any part of the world. Thousands
people have been rendered homeless by
the terrible calamity. About a hundred
are believed to have been killed, 200 or
300 men, women and children are severe
ly wounded, and many others are more
or less injured.
Viedendorp, the scene of the calamity,
is a surbnrb of Johannesburg. In it are
huddled members of the poorer classes.
whites, Malays, Kaffirs and Chinamen
who subsist for, the most part by doing
odd jobs about the place, which is the
railway transfer station for the mining
districts.
Among the freight cars standing on
the shunt for the mines at Viedendorp
yesterday were eight trucks loaded with
dynamite, hidden under canvas cover
ings to protect it from the rain and sun,
As evening was approaching there was
an explosion near the freight depot so
awful in its intensity that the ground
for miles around was convulsed as if by
an earthquake, houses rocked and fell,
and massess of iron, earth, stone, wood
and human remains were burled ekv
ward, ine windows 01 almost every
bouse in Johannesburg were broken,
and people were blown through the air
like straws before a gust of wind. The
explosion tore a hole 200 feet- long and
eighty feet wide at the spot where the
eight trucks of dynamite stood a few
momenta before. All that quarter of
Johannesburg was literally blown to
pieces.
The effect of the explosion could be
seen over a radius of more than a mile,
and almost everything within half a
mile of where the trucks had been
shunted for the night was razed to the
ground and crushed by the dynamite
beyond, redemption. Iron work was
twisted and torn, stones destroyed and
brickwork pulverized. ' On the ground
were blackened shapes of human re
mains, limbs, heads and trunks,
scorched and torn. The victims were
mostly Malays, Kaffirs and Chinamen,
the whites being in the minority at
Viedendorp, but quite a number ol
white people, including six girls, were
killed.
In 15 minutes after the explosion the
bodies of 40 dead persons, horribly muti
lated, were picked up and carried away,
while the searching, of the ruins was
continued without intermission. Over
200 of the seriously injured persons were
also carried away, and hundreds of
others taken to places where they might
be cared for.
A Decided Sensatron.
San Feancisco, Feb. 20. Mrs. Mary
A. Davidson has joined Mrs. Cooper in
preferring charges against Rev. C; O.
Brown. Mrs. Davidson's charges, as for
mulated under separate headings, are as
follows: Adultery, with Martha Over
man, the use of ergot to hide the crime;
the removal of the evidence of adultery
and crime ; deception as to Miss Over
man's career in literature at the time
when Mrs. Davidson alleged that Miss
Qverman's was Brown's mistress; de
ception in seeking prayers for tempta
tions ; deception as to penitence and re-
consecration; deception coupled with
threats.
At the evening session a sensation was
sprung. Mrs. Stockton went on the
stand and while she did not sav so in so
many words, she intimated that Dr.
Brown had been unduly intimate with
her and that their relations were known
to Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Stockton said that
Dr. Bown had kissed her and taken lib
erties with her. They had, gone on long
walks and had dined at Mason Richie, a
French resturant. Qnce while she was
sick in ber room with grippe, Dr. Brown
had called and kissed her. Later she
said Brown had wronged her. On cross-
examination Rey. Williams, a member
of the council, asked her if their rela
tions had been those of husband and
wife. Mrs. Stockton started to answer
but her attorney interrupted her and '
told her not to answer the question un
less the reporters present wonld agree
not to publish the answer. The ques
tion was withdrawn.
says :
James S. Clarkson, of Iowa; George
Christ, of Arizona and other members
of the republican national committee
here, are responsible for a project, which
is said to have the concurrence of repub
licans all over the country, for the build
ing in this city of a great headquarters
where members of the party from every
state can find a political home. The es
timated cost of the proposed structure
is between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000. It
is to be built by general contributions,
and each state in the Union is to be
called npon to furnish some of its pecul- '
lar products for the building. The
scheme, Mr. Clarkson said would be
brought to the attention of the national
committee at its next meeting, and if
indorsed by that body, it will probably -be
given formal approval.
According to a statement at the Fifth-
avenue hotel last evening, delegate.) to
St. Louis from various congressional dis
tricts have been agreed upon. Among
these are ex-Controller Frank Hendricks
and Henry B. Coraan. Fred G. Weaver
and Frank Storey, from the Oneida dis
trict, ana xienry tiara and State Con
troller James Roberts, from Erie county.

Washington, Feb. 20. The president
has refused a pardon in the case of F. M.
Ohalston, sentenced in Oregon to ten
years of hard labor, for forgery. The
presidentin his indorsement, says: "I
am decidedly in favor of the strict pun
ishment of persons guilty of crimes for
which this prisoner is now suffering im
prisonment. An offense involving for
gery, swindling the poor and needy vet
eran soldiers, and tho prostitution of the
benevolent conditions of the govern
ment, as embodied in the pension .
aws, does not in the slightest degree
more me to clemency."
ludlan Baud Muslo.
P. Kalama, a Warm Springs Indian,
and leader of an Indian band of sixteen
pieces at the reservation, has written a
letter to Rupert & Gabel, asking The
Dalles to employ the baud for our next
Fourth of July celebration. The letter,
which is written in a good business
hand, correctly spelled and punctuated,
is as follows : -
"I will ask you folks whether you can
get a job for my brass band on the 4th of
July in The Dalles, provided the people
there would celebrate the 4th. Of course
its a long ways from the 4th, but I want
to advertise ourselves beforehand.

By ail means let us have the Indian
band, if we celebrate.' It will be c great
advertisement and will attract people
from a distance of 50, perhaps 100 miUs-
band of aborigines blowing horns,
keeping time and playing correctly by

us and will be worth seeing.
