on him, took his revolver away, ana
under threats of death forced Hult-e
into Pallister's cell, first taking bis keys
from him. Ha then locked Hulse in
the cell, and unlocked the cell ot mur
derer Frank Roehl. The two murderers
unlocked the cell of Carljle W. Hams
and murderer Osroand and invited the
twii to escape with them, but both Harris
and Osmand refused. Pallister and

New York, April 21 In connection
with 'he escape of the two condemned
murderers it leaked nut this morning
that a brother of Roebl arrived in this
citv 10 days ago from Germany with
$7000. which Roehl inherited. The

Jeath In the Sline.
Butte, Mont., April 21 This city is
once more the scene ot an awiui mine
disaster. The Silver Bow mine, owned
by the Bane & Boston Mining Company,
is on fire, and nine miners have been im
prisoned, with no chance for their lives.
I'bere are two shafts in the mine. Fire
broke out in the 700-foot station of No.
2 slialt. There is only one connection be
tween the shafts, and the men in the mine
are below this point Strenuous and he
roic efforts hae -been made to reach the
men, some risking their lives in the at
tempt It has been impossible to com
municate with the men. There is no hope
dow, and it is believed all have perished.
The fire started at 6.-30 this morning, no
doubt through the carelessness of some
miner leaving a candle too close to the
timber. There were only 10 men in the
mine, and John Kramer, the pump man,
alone escaped, being badly burned. An
other man could have beeu saved, but be
went to a dritt for his partner and when
they reached the shaft the cage bad gone.
It grew hot, the cage being then envel
oped in seething flames, and Kramer
coud wait do longer in safety. The men
in the mine are: Edward Pasco, Rich
ard Andrews, Samuel Rovetti, Frank
Gerrard, Richard Trembalh, Thos. Gray,
James Netto, Antonio -Bears, Evan
Penghs For two hours the men battled
with the flames and smoke, which shot
up through the shift. The cages in the
two compartment shafts were lowered,
(topped and raised at intervals, hoping
that some below might be waiting to es
cape:; out tbev came up empty.
Financial Situation.
New York, April 21 Secretary Car-
isle's statement on -Hie gold situation
was tbe general topic of conversation on
Wall street this afiernocn. It was not
favorably received on the ground that it
was felt to be too indefinite. Moat of the
bankers seen expressed themselves un
able to comprehend tbe secretary's in
tention in reference to treasury notes.
J Edward Simmons, president of tbe
Fourth National bank, said Mr. Carlisle
bad'aooounced no policy; bis words
mean nothing so far as tbe situation ot
the question is concerned. Some of tbe
foreign exchange dealers are agaiu al
lowing a premium of of 1 per cent to
those paying for their remittances in gold.
Russel Sage said this morning: "I
believe that If tbe people do not lose
their heads we shall weather the storm,
and the currency question will eventu
ally be arranged satisfactorily. It is a
pity, however, that Secretaiy Carlisle
does not take a bold stand upon the sub
ject, and give ns an idea of what be in
tends to do."
At the suhtreasury 2,000,000 in treas
ury notes were deposited 9gainst tbe with
drawal of an equal amount of gold. Of
these notes $500,000 were, treasury notes
and tbe remainder gold cenifica ea and
United States Lotes. Cashier Muble
mann, of the subtreasury, has not re
ceived anv word from Washington to
make a change in tbe method of receiv
ing payment for gold.

ascertained that be had been driven to

with iSaldrieh and Keeves in Kansas (Jity.
The sheriff entered the bank and not a cent
of money could be found. The books show
that about $6000 was on deposit when the
bai.k closed. Some of thia has been paid,
but it is impossible to fiod the amount of
payments. The Commercial bank, of Port
land, was garnisheed and answered that the
hank held $12,266 70 in notes given to tbe
North Yamhill bank, as collateral to secure
a loan of $13,281.1. We understand that
some of tbe givers of these notes hold Mar
tine s receipts of their payment, he not re
mitting to the Portland bauk when the
notes were paid. These notes will have to
be paid oyer again. ' The total loss will be

some parts of thetate the Italian prune ia

chasing -trees it would be well to keep a
sharp lookout for the Sin Joe scale. It

to the tree, and can be noticed only by close
scrutiny. A great many of the nurseries in
Oregon and this state bave them in greater
or . less numbers. If one becomes accus

setting out an orchard to learn at once what
