EN
l''lre Adds to the Horrors of the
Situation-Terrible Slaughter
Criminal Carelessness.
NEW iork, reu. ZU. A Blieep
train consisting of twenty cars wa
moving through the Fourth
avenue railroad tunnel this morn
ing when "it stopped. Behind it.
came the New Haven local, and
before the engineer of the local
could see the standing train he ran
into it. 1 he rear cars of the sheep
train were wrecked, as were some
of those of the local. In a few
minutes flames broke out and, to
add to the terror of the confusion,
a third engine, which was running
without cars, ran into the wreck.
Ti e fire was soon extinguished
and the work of rescue began.
Five men were killed and seven
hurt. one of the passengers are
known to have been injured, the
fatalities and injuries being con
fined to the employes of the road.
A misunderstanding of signals by
the engineer of the New Haven
train is said to have been the
cause of the accident.
Four more bodies have been re
moved from the wreck, and these,
it is thought, wili be all the dead.
All were burned beyond recogni
tion. A number of injured will
probably die.
One of the injured died this
afternoon.
The police announced to-day the
total number of dead as six.
Engineer Fowler of the New
Haven train was committed with
out bail. Both he and the fire
man assert the block signals were
set for a clear track. The lights
on the rear of the Boston train
had been extinguished and the fog
was too dense for them to see it.
NICARAGUA CANAL, MATTERS.
The Senate Discusses the Project
and Its Bearings.
Washington, 1'eb. 20. The
senate to-day, after passing a num
ber of pensions bill, took up the
Nicaragua canal bill. Vest, in op
position, said if, in view of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, the sena
tors were prepared to say to the
British empire that they would
determine the question without
any reference to her interests or
wisue8, then let them say that
and accept the consequences, if
not war, a condition of animosity,
antaeonism and distrust, which
would operate injuriously on the
interests oi both countries of the
world. Morgan explained if the
work had to be done by the com
pany it would cost $240,000,000,
while under the Dendinz bill the
cost would notexceed $100,000,000.
so instead of shippers having to
pay $9.50 a ton, they would not
have to pay more than $1 a ton.
Edmunds spoke in' defense and
advocacy of the bill and without
action the senote adjourned.

CONG K ESS HE H A I SS , Ol. ! u f
Eisht to Four Against Silv-r Froe Coia-

Measures Could Be Adopted.
Washington, Feb. 20. The
house coinage committee to-day,
by a vote of 8 to 4, decided to re
p jrt the senate free-coinage bill
adversely, with a recommendation
that it do not pas,
Ihe four members in the minor-
and Williams. The two first
named ate republicans and the
last two democrats. The majority
was: Wickaaui, Waiker, Com
stock, Knapp, Taylor, republicans,
and Iracy, Wilcox and aux,
democrats, w hen the tree coin
age men found that they were de
feated on the senate free coinage
bi.l, Carter moved a sunstitut
first a bill for the free coinage of
the American product, and next
one for the purchases of $10,000,000
of silver for three montns and six
million each month thereafter
Both were defeated. Only Carter,
IJ'und and Baitine voted for the
lirsl and Carter and Bartine for
ihe second proposition. The sen
ate free coinage bill will now go to
the foot of an overburdened calen
dar, with the committee recom
mend ttions that it does not pass.
Before the committee closed the
hearing this morning, congress
man ttlect, Jerry Simpson, of Kan
sas, arirued in favor ot frei coinage.
The farmers demanded more
money, lie said, lie did not care
'f free coinage caused foreign silver
to come to the United States. He
wished it would, it could I ot come
too soon fur it would give people
more money.
The S'lver men generally are
disposed to take to-day's action as
practically the end ot the silvei
legislation for this congress. An
elfort will be made to have the bill
ucted upon by the house, but itc
friende do not express any hope oi
success. Anti-silver men are well
pleased and Representative Walk
er, expressed the opinion this
afternoon that the bill would
never see the light aain in thi
congress.

rAitKKRsm uG, W. Ya., Feb. 2i.
One of the largest deals ever
made in an oil-producing teiritory
has just been concluded between

prises 20,000 acres of land in Green

and Marion counties, thi state,
which is a distinct oil and gis
field owned and operated byilu
kiil. The field contains tit present
sixty producing oil wells, and fom
gas wells, of pressure. 1 tie daily
output of oil is 1200 barrels. The
price paid was $o0,000, Mr. Hukill
parting with all his pmpeity ex
cept three tracts of land, about
which there is litigation. In this
connection, it may be Slid the
Standard Oil Company is at pre
sent leasing and buying immense
racts of oil lands, they have
bought the entire county of Gil
mer, outside of the countv seat,
and nearly all of Doddridge county
and part of Mason, and every day
new tracts are sold to them.
When spring opens these new
fields are to be develoied, as tank
ages, pipes and timber are already
being placed on the ground. I lie
largest pipe in the country has
just been completed. It extends
from Morgantown, m this state,
which is the center of the Hukill
tract, to the works of the Atlantic
Refining Company at Philadelphia.
It has a capacity of 15,000 barrels
per day, and will be operated at
once to its fullest capacity. The
Standard compam' has just erect

produced in West Virginia, which
is now about 5000.
HEIRS TO A FOIITI'NE.
Money Confiscated by Napoleon
M ill Be Returned.
Cincinnati, Feb. 20. Ileiis to a
French estate, said to be worth
nearly $5,000,000, have been found
in thiB city, Amone the number
are Jacob Ffau, a tin and stove
merchant, and Daniel Wolff", china
and tin merchant. Another heir,
a cousin to the two mentioned
above, is Albert Hauck, a farmer,
living in Indiana. The fortune
was founded by Jean Thierry, who
liegan a wandering life in 17,'JO,
when only 10 years old. I n 1 ? it.
Janeiro he established a business
and soon accumulated a fortune
which he invested in the diamond
field. In the year 1700 Tiii
sailed for Venice, to spend his old
age in enjoyment of hia wealth
During the French revolution he
deposited hia fortune in gold in
the mint at Venice. When Napo
leon seized the city in 1797, he
took many millions in gold there
including Thierry's fortune, to
Paris. Thierry died lie fore he re
covered possession of his fortune,
but the French government held
that his claim was valid, as he
was a French citizen living at
Veiiic, and the foit ine was held
for his lawful heirs. Nothing was
done to push their claim until
lately, when a relitive of Woltl'V
and Flan's seunred copies of all the
ollicial documents bearing on the
m itter and jir.sented the claims
of his relatives in this city in the
proper wav. The French govern
ment, it is said, is willing to turn
over this vast fortune as soon as
the transfer cau be legally made.

' Agreeably to your request re

THE SLUGGING MATCH
La Blanche Knocked Out on the
Twelfth Round.
ATHLETIC CLlli'S RENEWAL.
A Hard Fought Hatch-The Utnal Amouit
of Braised op Haaianitj-A Brital
Exhibition Eagerly Watched.
San Francisco, Feb. 20. The
California athletic club to-night
resumed its monthly glove con
tests, which have been discon
tinued since September last. The
principals in to-night's event.
liiph yas for a $250u trophy , were
George LaBlance, the "Marine,"'"
and Johnny Herget, better known
as "Young Mitchell, San Fran
cisco middlew eights. LaBlanche
was knocked out in the twelfth
round.
La Blanche entered the ring at
0:10 and Mitchell followed a mo
ment later. La Blanche appeared
much more finely drawn than when
he fought Dempsey. At 9:23 the
time was called and La Blanche
took the center of the rine, while
Mitchell feinted around him. The
men finally came lightly together
in a clinch, Mitchell's right falling
on La Blanche's ribs. Mitchell
again led and was stopped by a
right in the mouth. In the lead
Mitchell slipped around the Ma
rine's neck and both went to the
floor.
econd round The Marine rush
ed Mitchell to the ropes. The lat
ter cleverly ducked a wicked swine
and twice landed on the Marine's
i ibs, causing him to reel. Mitch
ell found no difficulty in stopping
the Marine and landing heavily.
ihird round Mitchelt countered
with his left on La Blanche's ear,
but caught a sounder on the chest.
a blanche rushed, but Mitchell
ducked and lifted him from the
lloor. La Blanche attempted to
play groggy and was jeered by the
pectators.
Fourth -round La Blanche's
blows proved ineffective and his
swings were coolly dodged by his
opponent.
lnth round Mitchell rushed
and landed a left on the Marine's
tace. La Blanche rushed, luting
Mitchell and throwing him on the
lloor. Mitchell was distressed, but
landed two good left hand swings
on the Marine's jaw and neck.
bixth round Mitchell got a good
ft ou the Marine's cheek, when
the latter twisted him backward
to the tioar, but apologized at the
cries of foul. He again rushed,
but Mitchell caught him each time
on the ribs, duckicg as he did so.
Seventh round The referee cau
tioned Mitchell to stand and fight,
and Mitchell caught the Marine a
right bander on the nose, sending
him to the lloor.
Kighth round Young Mitchell
found the Marine's mouth with a
le:t hand stop, which was the only
good blow of the round.
Ninth round Mitchell grazed
La Blanche's cheek with his right
and the Marine dropped to the
lloor.
Tenth round Mitchell's stops
were too much for the Marine's
rushes, and a punch full in the
chest sent him to the floor.
Lie vent h round The men
warmed up to the work in ' this
round and I lie exchange of blows
were more even.
Twelfth round About the mid
dle of the round a few blows hav-
ng been struck after a little fid
dling by La Blanc. ie, Mitchell, in
stopping a lead of the Marine's,
hit him lightly with his left on the
jaw. ihe .Marine dropped and
rolling over on hia face remained
raised on- his wrist until counted
out.
Immediately after the close of
the fight the board of directors held
a meeting for the purpose of award- -ing
the victory." The circum
stances of the fight were so suspic
ious however, that the directors
decided to make no award, and
postponed consideration of the
matter until next Monday night.
As the articles of agreement say
the light roust be won to the satis
faction of the club all bids remain
open until the directors' decision is
rendered.
