ZANESViLLE, O., April 5 Four per
sons were killed outright- and a fifth
fatally injured in a wreck on the
Bellaire, Zanesville & Cincinnati nar
row-gauge, at a trestle five miles west
of Somerfied, this morning. The coach
jumped the tressle, which is situated
on a curve. The coach ran ' into the
ties half way across and then the en
gine also left the rails, carrying down
five bents of the trestle to the ravine
below.
Eli Lucas, engineer, whose family re
side in this city, was instantly killed,
Mrs. E. Young and little daughter.
of Somerfield, resident of Bellsville,
suffered the same fate, and Jessie Johns,
fireman, was fatally injured.
The remoteness of the scene of the
accident from telegraphic communica
tion renders it impossible to secure in
formation from any one except the
railway authorities, and the road is a
narrow-gauge and does but little bus!
ness. The train consisted 01 only a
combination baggage car and a pas
senger car. . J ust betore arriving at the
trestle the coach lumped the traok,
The trestle is double-decked, fully 50
feet high, ana consists 01 17 bents,
crossing a stream, It is built on a
curve so that after dragging the coach
more than half way across the structure,
the engine, too, was pulled from the
tracks and both car and engine toppled
into the ravine below, carrying down
three bents of the trestle.
The car was smashed to kindling
wood, and only two passengers, Nathan
Y oung, of boinerneia, ana J . Jjennon,
of Woodsfield, escaped alive. Mrs.
Nathan Young and her little daughter,
and Henry Brown, of Bellsville, were
instantly killed. Engineer Eli Lucas
was also instantly killed, and Fireman
Jesse Johns fatally injured. Both men
might have been saved by jumping, but
they chose to remain at their posts.
Johns was thrown from the engine as
it went down, while Lucas was caught
under the machinery and instantly
killed.
A Mine Horror.
New Whatcom, Wash., April S An
explosion of firedamp, in the Blue Can
yon coal mine on Lake Whatcom, at
2:45 this afternoon, killed 21 men. W.
A. Telford came from the mine tonight.
He was -at the bunkers when the ex
plosion occurred. He went to the in
cline and found James Kearns at the
mouth of the shaft, nearly dead with
exhaustion. Kearns said all in the
mine were dead. He had carried Ben
Morgan as far as he was able and
dropped him. Morgan, he thought,
was dead. Kearns and X. Gellum
were the only ones who escaped out of
24 who were at woric. Tom valentine
and J. O. Anderson were the incline
men, and they escaped. At the switch
of the gangway, 800 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel, Ecklund and Tel-
iora iouna tne ooay 01 tieorge itooerts,
and beyond were three loaded cars
which had been blown off the track.
They next found the body of Ben Mor
gan, where it was dropped by Kearns,
Ecklund and others. They were un
able to go beyond room 21, 500 feet
from the angle of the tunnel and gang
way. Their safety lamps went out and
the gas drove the explorers back. In
room 21 they found the bodies of
Thomas Conlin and James Kirby. It
is supposed that, in addition to the
to the four found, 17 perished. The
gas was so thick that the rescuing
party was able to stay only a few min
utes. 1
The Leader Killed.
Hennessy, O. T., April 5 Part of
the posse in pursuit of the bandits who
robbed the Rock Island trainnear Do
ver, Wednesday night, came upon the
gang 35 miles west of Hennessey at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A fight ensued - in which one of the
robbers was killed and others wounded.
As soon as the robbers were sighted
the deputies jumped from their horses
and used them as breast-works. While
the robbers made an attempt to retreat
two of their horses were shot from un
der them and one man was killed.
Another's leg was broken, but he man
aged to get on his horse; another was
badly hit, but he too succeeded in get
ting, away. The marshals gave chase
to the retreating outlaws and finally
cornered them in a bunch of timber
about two miles from the scene of the
battle. A waiting game is being
played as the outlaws must have food
and water.
The dead man was brought to Hen
nessey at 11 o'clock last night and has
been positively identified as Dick
Yeager, alias Gyp Wyatt, on whose
head there is an aggregate reward of
over S6000, including $1000 offered yes
terday for each of the robbers by the
Rock Island. He was identified by
United States Marshal Graves and G.
C. Krepps, a farmer who ws ac
quainted with Wyatt. ' He-was also
identihed as one of the Dover robbers
by the entire crew this morning, as
they passed here. ' Conductor Mack
says he .was the leader. In his posses
sion was found the sack the porter was
compelled to hold while the passengers
deposited their valuables in it.
Bon Against Father.
San Francisco, April 5 Rudolph
Spreckels, the youngest son of Claus
Spreckels,. has sprung the latest sensa
tion in the family altercation. In the
course of the trial of his injunction suit
against the Nevada bank, Rudolph
Spreckels' attorney handed in an affi
davit full of ugly charges against his
father. Rudolph had signed the docu
ment and duly acknowledged it before
a notary. Its purport is to charge
Claus Spreckels- with endeavoring to
injure the credit of his twff younger,
sons to prevent them from paying the
indebtedness of C. A. Spreckels to his
father. In the event of the obligation
not being met, certain securities in the
Nevada bank, turned over to guarantee
payment, would " become the property
of Claus Spreckels. Rudolph, in his
affidavit, denies the charge made by the
bank that he aided or abetted the Ha
waiian revolution. He also charged
that the Nevada bank is not a bona
fide purchaser of the stock, but is trying
to assist Claus Spreckels in the per-
formance of a threat, publicly made,
that he would yet ruin and destroy Ru
dolph and break with him. The affi
davit, also, allesres that Claus Spreckels
is trying hard to injure the credit of
Rudolph and prevent the payment of
the debt of C. A. Spreckels when it
falls due. The case will ero on to
morrow.
Parr Boys Captured.
iENDLETON, Or. April 5 Alter a
long and excitinff chase a posse has
captured the Parr boys and brought
them to Pendleton. They were ar
raigned on the charges of horse-steal
ing and assault with intent to kill,
They have been in the penitentiary at
Salem before.
Sheriff Houser, with Indian Agent
Harper, put Indian policemen on the
trail of the Parrs and for two days they
made a search.' Last night they had
been traced to the Boriper place on the
reservation. As the posse approached,
the Parrs hurried out, mounted their
horses and made for the mountains.
Pursuer and pursed were heaVily
armed, and the chase was kept up until
the deep canyons of the Blue mountains
were reached,- when the- fugitives
abandoned their horses and continued
their flight afoot. The posse pressed
on, and when the distance apart was
not more than a hundred feet the
Parr boys turned at bay, drew their re
volvers and emptied tnerrr at tne om-
cers No one one was injured by the
fusilade, and when the chambers were
all emptied the arrest was easily made,
Horribly SIntUated.
Stockton, Cal., April 5 Robinson
W. Smith, an insane patient, was taken
to the asylum here last night with his
throat cut. Some four weeks ago
Smith slashed himself with a razor
while demented, cutting through the
larynx and into the windpipe. Physic
ians sewed up the wound, which is
about four inches long, but Tuesday
Smith secured an old jackknife and
sawed open the old wound. The cut
now presents a horrible appearance.
the ragged edges of the old wound
having healed some. Smith now has
to breathe through the hole in his
neck and can only speak by placing: his
hand over the opening and pressing
the edges of the cut together, and then
the sounds that come from his lips
sound more like the grunts of a beast
than the words of a human being.
Physicians at the asylum will sew up
the wound today.
Our Southern Neighbors.
Washington, April 5 Gresham is
advised that the British foreign office
has, within the past 48 hours, informed
Bayard that England does not desire
any JNicarasruan territory, that ner
colonial possessions are already suffic
ient large to satisfy her ambition, and
that all she desires of Nicaragua is the
indemnity. Assurances are also given
that, while England will show an earn
est determination to collect this in
demnity, there is little probability that
Greytown will be bombarded by the
English fleet in the event of N icaragua'i
slow compliance with England s re
quest. No dispatches regarding Vea
ezuela have been received.
THIS TIME MEXICO.
Three Americans Unjustly Held Prisoners
in Mexico.
San Diego, Cal., April 6 The case
of the three Americans Joseph Carter,
William Carney and D. A. Moore, who
were arrested during the latter part of
January by Mexican officials on the
charge of smuggling horses over the
border, and were imprisoned at
Ensenada, seems from all accounts to
be in a more unsettled state than ever.
The Hon. W. W. Bowers,- representa
tive from the seventh congressiona.
district, brought the matter before the
state department with the result that
the men, after examination, were or
dered released, their stock returned to
them, and they left to use their own
discretion about returning to United
states territitory, with their posses
sions. There the matter was supposed
to have ended, so far as the govern
ments of the two countries were con
cerned, and the correspondence
between United States Vice-Consul
God be, Assistant Secretary of State.
Uhl, W. W. Bowers and M. Romero,
the Mexican minister, would seem to
bear out that supposition. The men,
however, give an entirely different
version of the result of their trial,
stating they were still virtually
prisoners, their stock still withheld
from them, and they forbidden to quit
Mexican territory. They claim that
local officials are using discretionary
powers not warranted by government
orders, tnd ask that the state depart
ment give their case immediate con
sideration.
Cheap Popularity.
Washington, April 6 Advices from
Venezuela state that that ex-Congress
man Livingston, of Georgia, is the
hero of the day there, and that it
would not be surprising if his statue
were erected on the public square at
Caracas, alongside that of ex-President
Monroe, as an exponent of the Monroe
doctrine. Mr. Livingston introduced
the resolution, which passed congress.
directing the state department to in
tercede between Great .Britain and
Venezuela for a settlement of their
troubles. He also made a speech on
the subject, sounding the Monroe doc
trine. The speech, it seems, struck a
popular chord in Venezuela.
Too Much Poker.
The old sea captain that sailed from
Port Townsend the other day knows
how to beat a sure thing poker game.
Two gamblers made his acquaintance,
went aboard the ship, with the result
that the captain was considerably
poorer the next morning. He invited
them to renew the game the next
evening, which invitation was gladly
accepted. Once aboard the gamblers
were kept prisoners, and the ship
sailed next day for Callao, Peru. They
will have an opportunity to get all the
poker they want for the next sixty
days, but it is safe to say the captain
will get the best of the game, and the
gamblers will be landed minus money
and jewelry.
Death of Mr. Cannon
New York, April 6 Anthony M.
Cannon, 60 years old, of Spokane,
Wash., a guest at the Sturtevant house,
was found dead in his room at the ho
tel soon after 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The hotel people notified the coroner's
office, and Deputy Coroner O'Hanlan,
after examining the body, declared
that no suspicious circumstances, in
dicating suicide, were visible, and gave
a permit for the removal of the body
to an undertaker's. In the dead man's
pockets was found a card of the bank
of Spokane Falls, in one corner of
which was this inscription. "A M.
Cannon, president."
An Effort Will be Made.
Salem, Or., April 6 Jeff Myers, a
member of the state board of agricul
ture, has received a letter from Gov
ernor McKinley, of Ohio, in answer to
request tnat De be present at the
next state fair. The governor cannot
promise assuredly yet, but a strong
effort will be made to have him here.

Some Meddlesome Preacher Interferes
In Matters Which Should Not Con-
cern
Hini and Receives the
Censure He Ie nerves.
Washington, April 6 The atten
tion of some members of the cabinet
was called today to a dispatch from
Chicago regarding the publication
there of the supreme court decision on
the income tax, but they declined to
express an opinion thereon, on the
ground it would be manifestly improper
to discuss any opinions of the court at
least until they had been officially
promulgated.
From another, but entirely authentic
source, it was learned that whatever
the decision of the court may be the
president will not call an extra session
of congress, and even should the de
cision declare the law wholly uncon
stitutional, the president will adhere
to his determination not to call con
gress together, and will so announce.
All enorts to secure from members
of the supreme court either an authori
tative conhrmation or denial of the
Chicago publication prove unavailing.
Senator vornees, chairman of the
finance committee, when told of the
publication today said: "It may be
that a portion of the law may not be
sustained. I consider there is a possi
bility of sucn result, but 1 do not be
lieve any one outside of the court
knows a thing about it. But sup
pose it snouid be true that that
portion of the law resrardinsrrents and
municipal bonds should prove to be. in
tne opinion of the court, unconstitu
tional, the law will not be materially
impaired. It will still afford an im
mense revenue. Estimates are entire
ly too low on the revenue which would
be derived from the law as a whole.
Instead of it including from $15,000,000
to $20,ooo,uoo, it will .add SoO,uoo,000,
io,uoo,ooo or even asioo,uoo,uou rev
enue."
Washington, April 8 Chief Justice
Fuller began this morning to read the
decision of the supreme court in the
income tax case. He began by stating
the exceptions to the law as made by
counsel for the appellant as follows:
First That the act imposes a direct
tax in the respect of real estate, rents,
issues and profits as well as of incomes
and profits of personal property, and
not being apportioned is in violation
of section 2, article 1 of the constitu
tion.
Second That the- law, if not impos
ing a direct tax, is, nevertheless,
unconstitutional, in that its provisions
are not uniform throughout the United
States, and do not operate with the
same force and effect upon the subject
of tax, wherever found, and in that it
provides exemptions in favor of in
dividuals and co-partnerships, while
denying all exemptions to corporations,
having a similar income derived from
like property values, and provides for
other exemptions and inequalities in
violation of section 8, article 1 of the
constitution.
Third That the act provides no ex
emption of tax upon incomes derived
from stocks and bonds of the 'states of
the United States, and counties and
municipalities therein, which stocks
and bonds are no proper subject for
the taxing power of congress. The in
come from these securities in the
United States amounts to over $65,-
000,000 per annum, on which the total
annual income tax would be $1,300,000.
Coming: down to the present tariff
act. he said the law was passed in a
time of profound peace, and it was to
be taken as evidence tnat congress nan
sought in this matter to form a pre
cedent and establish a departure from
the established lines, and it, therefore.
became important to inquire into the
circumstances with some, attention to
details, and for the purpose of compar
ison he went back to the enactment of
the income tax during the civil war.
He quoted from a decision in- the
SDrineer case, giving the history of the
case and devoting much attention to it,
as Be said tbe defense nad apparently
relied upon this more generally than
upon any other precedent, it is, ne
said, conceded in all cases, from Hyl-
ton to Springer, that taxes on land are
direct taxes, but in some of them it
was determined, that taxes on rents
derived from land are direct taxes,
while in some . of them it was deter
mined that taxes on rents derived from
land are indirect taxes. Was there,
he asked, any distinction between the
tax on land and on the income derived
from the land? The court had been
unable to see .any distinction. He
closed by saying the court had reached
the conclusion that a tax on rents was
invalid. The chief justice then took
up the question of the taxation of
municipal and state bonds. The de
cision was also adverse to this part of
the law, as repugnant to the constitu
tion. On other points the court was
divided, and therefore no opinion could
be given. The lower court having
ruled in favor of the law, tne law
would stand except as to rent and
state, county and municipal bonds, and
on these two points it was directed that
judgment be now reversed,
When Chief Justice Fuller had fin-
ished Justice Field began to read the
dissenting opinion, finishing before 2
o'clock. He said:
"I am of the opinion that the whole
law of 1894 is null and void." He laid
stress upon the fact that the law does
not exempt judges of tne united states
court from payment of the tax. It was
not right, he said, tnat tne supreme
court should remain silent and make
no protest when many United States
judges drawing small salaries, would
be affected because oi tne law. ne
called attention to a letter once written
by Chief Justice Chase to the treasury
officials protesting against the deduc
tion of income tax from the salaries of
United. States judges.
Justice i leid was followed by justice
White in a second dissenting opinion.
His dissent was Largely extemporaneous
and very long. He favored upholding
the whole law.
Justice Harlan followed Justice
White in a dissenting opinion, and the
case closed. Nothing was said as to
how any of the justices stood save the
three who read dissents.

IN BAB TASTE.
The Attack of the Massachusetts Ministers
Disclaimed by the M. E. Chnrch.
Salem, Mass., April 6 The attack
of Rev. Dr. Lansing on the president
in his address here Wednesday night,
has not been well received. One well
known clergyman said today: "lavish
Dr. Lansing had taken some other
time and place to attack the president
than our Methodist conference. It is
very strange we had no intimation of
the charge in advance, and I sincerely
hope Dr. Lansing has not been misin
formed by making such a charge. It's
too bad." Similar . utterances have
been heard from the clergy here in at
tendance. While Dr. Lansing, in an
evening .Boston paper, is quoted as
expressing doubt that he used the word
"Drunkard" in referring to the presi
dent, and many of the clergy positively
testify to the accuracy of the published
reports.
At the session ol the conference to
day,- the Rev. Frederick Woods, of
East Boston, presented the following:
"Whereas, in the admirable, earnest
and able address of Rev. Dr. Lansing,
Thursday evening, there occurred
serious imputations upon the moral
character of . the . president of - the-
United States, this conference while
recognizing that there is doubtless
need of public criticism of some who
occupy high places in the land, and
while profoundly impressed with the
ability and sincerity of the orator who
so eloquently served us on our tem
perance anniversity, yet feels con
strained to disclaim responsibility for
the utterances, concerning which the
honored brother is able to speak for
himself, however his statements may
be construed."
The conference expunged the whole
matter from the minutes. During the
debate there was considerable excite
ment, and it was difficult at times for
the bishop to maintain order.

Storm at Hilgard.
The recent wind storm played havoc
at Hilgard. A large - pine tree was
broken in two like a pipestem and the
upper portion fell across the residence
building belonging to John Keilly, in
the eastern part of town, and smashed
in the roof. One of the members of
the family occupying the house, the
eldest daughter of Mrs. Hyde, sus
tained some painful injuries on the
head, inflicted by flying pieces of ceil
ing. She was attempting to start a
fire in the cooking stove when the tree
fell crashing through the roof, and
then through the ceiling over the
stove. Fortunately none oi tne otner
members of the family were hurt, al
though it was a close 'call for serious,
if not fatal, injuries.
Our' New Dress.
The Ttmes-Motjntaineeb "appears
to-day in a complete new dress, and
enlarged to a six column folio. Of
course this is an event worthy of note,
for every publisher takes great pride in
the artistic appearance of the printed
page. The type came from a celebra
ted type-foundry, and is of the latest
manufacture. Boastfulness is not an
element of our mentality; but on this
occasion we may be pardoned for feel
ing somewhat satisfied with the new
clothes of the Ttmes-Mountaineer,
and for saying, "Look at us; aren't we
stylish."

A FRIGHTFUL DEATH.
Mrs. H. E. Foster 'Meets Death bv Be In a-
Thrown From a Buggy and Dragged
a Long Dlstwnoe.
The Oregonian of Sunday says: Mrs.
H. E. Foster, a widow, 65 years of age,
living at Progress, a small settlement
eight miles southwest of the city, met a
frightful death last evening by being
thrown from a buggy and dragged -nearly
a mile Under the heels of a run
away horse.
in company with Mrs. Rachael
McKayr a neighbor, and a little Grand
daughter, Mrs. Foster visited Portland
yesterday to do some shopping and
visit relatives. The horse driven by i
her had been owned in the family for
15 years, and was regarded as a gentle
animal, although, on rare occasions, it
indulged in some kicking freaks, but
was not considered dangerous. On
the return home last evening, when
about half a mile beyond Mount Zion
schoolhouse, the horse indulged in
some of his kicking antics, and was
more than usually unruly. The first
kick tore off the dashboard and one of
the forewheels broke down, throwing
Mrs. McKay out, who escaped injury.
The child was less fortunate, and has
badly-cut face.
As tne wheel broke Mrs. Foster was
thrown forward over the broken dash
board, her head striking the shaftbar,
and her hair caught in the tracehooks.
Her body fell under the foreaxle, and,
unable to extricate herself, she was
dragged for nearly a mile before the
horse was stopped by a Mr. Rogers,
who rushed into the road on seeing the
runaway, and, seizing the animal by
tne Dits, Drougnt nim to a stand. Mrs.
Foster was dead, her body badly lacer
ated and many bones broken.
POLITICAL.
The Question of Finance and Tariff Set
tled at a Country School Discussion.
Last Saturday evening a debate was
held at the Mesplie school house, on
Mill creek. The question to be dis
cussed was to the effect that both of
the old parties were corrupt and rotten
to the core, and should be wiped out of
existence; that the Populists were the
saviors of the country 'and compre
hended in its platform all there was of
moral excellence in the principles of
government; that its leaders, includ
ing Gen. Coqey, Prof. Rork and Gen
Scheffel, were latter day saints and
would not suffer death but be miracu
lously translated into an upper and
better world. A large number of
farmers were present and took part in
the discussion. The judges were A.
Huguenin, John Mesplie and Andrew
Urquhart. After the ' last argument
was through the judges retired, and
after consultation decided that .the
Populist party was the organization;
that Gen. Coxey was a persecuted
saint, and too righteous to exist in the
contaminating influence of this lower
world. We do not expect this decision
will have much effect upon the vote In
1896.
