4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 1895. THREE PEOPLE DEAD. Fatal Accident on a Pennsylvania Catr Line. BROUGHT ON BY PANIC. Frightened Passengers Pre- vented the Gripman From Acting Promptly. THEN TEEY JUMPED FOR LIFE Two Women Were Mortally and Seven Other Persons Seri- ously Injured. J ILL Pa., March 30.—Three persons were instantly killed, two fatally injured and seven qthers seriously hurt on the Lehigh Company Traction road by jumping from a runawazy trolley-car on the mountain near here. The dead are: Mrs. Watkin Williams of Hazleton, Mrs. John E. Earley of Beaver | ad her eicht-year-old son. | y i mes Evans of | Coterain, . John Weir of Beaver| Meadow. | Seriously wounded: Watkin Williams, | an who was killed; | husband of the wor ggie Herrity of I dren of Mrs. Beaver Meadow. cans, Hannah Somers Morris Hughes of of Wilkesbarre. ie accident was the worst in the history of the troll due in part to a panic among the pass gers, who crowded about the conductor and gripman of the unmanageable car. The disaster occurred car 20. As it passed grade leading down the mountain Gripman Reitz applied the brakes, but the chain snapped. He then | threw the ty lever. This refused to work and the ified motorman sprang | to the reverse brake, hopi car the current. The m d the speed of the car had by this time alarmed t rs. Failing to ontrol the ¢ shouted to Conductor ks to apply the rear brake. His shouts caused a pa nd the passengers made a. rush for the platform. The car was going down the mountain at a ‘mile a minute. The conductor shouted to the passengers | to go ba o that, he might apply the brake, but was not keeded. Mr. Jackman of Hazleton and two other | men endeavored to p the women from thro¥in mselves from the car on to the rocks, but were unable to doso. Mrs, Williams was the first to jump. Her body struck a post, breaking her back and caus- ing instant death. She tried to save her boy, but he shared the same fate. The remaining passengers, with one ception, then jumped. Mrs. Evans the only person to remain in the car with the exception of the motorman and con- | ductor. The car kept the track until the crossing at the foot of the incline -was reached. Here it jumped the track and crashed into a telegraph pole. The front of the carwas stove in,and a piece of board penetrated Mrs. Evans’ sid The screams of the frantic passengers as the car rushed down the mountain could be heard half a mile. The residents of this part hastened to the scene, and did all they could t6 relieve the suffering. Had the passengers remained in the car the accident could have been averted, as the rear brake would have held the car and prevented the runaway. There are six at- tachments on each car provided for such an emergency, but the conductor was wedged so tightly against the dasher by the panic-stricken women that he was un- able to move his arms till the car had gotten beyond dontrol. The motorman and conducter were but slightly injured. T he Hayes City Property Considerably Dam- aged by a Conflagration. HAYES CITY, Kaxs., March 30.—Fire broke out in a livery stable two blocks southeast of the Union Pacific Depot, and in a short time the row of business houses on the north side of the street were ablaze. The fire then leaped across the railroad track to the north side of the town. A full list of parties sustaining losses cannot be obtained, as the fire is still burning at 5:30 ©'clock, and it is impossible to get any re- liable reports from there, - As fas as can be learned at this time there were burned: Farmers' Lumber- yard, Bank of Hayes City,two hardware- stores, one drugstore, two grocery-stores, novelty-store, bakery, harness-shop, Union Pacific land office, newspaper office, two saloons, one barber-shop and about fifteen elevators were saved as was also the depot. The fire is now thought to be under con- trol. : The entire loss is’ estimated at $75,000; insurance §13,000. — SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS. Serious Charges Against a Missing Ala- bama Probate Judge. MONTGOMERY, Ara., March 30.—A profound sensation has been caused here by the continued absence of Colonel Frank B. Randolph, Probate Judge of Montgom- ery County. He is believed to have fled to Central America, having last been seen at New Orleans by a gentlemen of this city, whom he requested to keep the fact a se- cret. . The State Examiner of Public Accounts is now investigating his accounts, and it is qunofiicially stated he has discovered a short- age of $20,000 to $30,000. — Investigating New York Judges. NEW YORK, March 30.—The State Sen- ate Judiciary Committee is in New York investigating the Court of General Ses- sions. All the Judges have been sum- moned as witnesses. Recorder Goff entered a protest against the neglect of duty on the part of the court attaches and named sev- eral persons in court who, he declared, were on the payroll as court officers, though they had not earned a dollar. Goff charged that Judge Cowing made re- movals to make room for Tammany Hall adherents, which the Judge denounced as false. e New Voters for Illinois, SPRING VALLEY, InL, March 30.— Over 300 foreigners of this city were natu- ralized at Princeton, Ill., to-day, to vote at the coming election. One-half of them have not been in the country for two years, it is said. s i Grain by Eleetric Transit. CHICAGO, Tri., March 30.—James G. Hulse, Parker Crittenden and John W.

E. Beasley from New York to Chicago and finally to the Pacific Coast. Stock will be issued for the purpose of rais- ing ‘the required funds for starting the work. el DECLARED A TRUST. The United States School Furniture Coms pany So Called by the Courts. CHICAGO, IrL,, March 30.—Judge Baker rendered a decision to-day declaring the United States School Furniture Company of Chicago to be a trust and monopoly. Attorney-General Olney filed information against the company about a year ago. He set forth that it consisted of sixteen differ- ent corporations and firms regulating prices and practically controlled the school furniture output of the country. The information declared the United States Company had made contracts with its dependent firms whereby they were to sell their output to the Chicago corpora- tion, and manufacture only such goods as | the latter should direct. This the Attorney- General affirmed was an evasion of the trust law. The company filed a demurrer, claiming it merely acted as distributor for other firms, and denying it made any at- tempt to regulate prices. Upon this de- murrer Judge Baker's adverse decision was rendered to-day. e MURDERER IDENTIFIED. James MeDonald Is the Man Who Killed Detective Moore. DENVER, Covo., March 30.—The man who shot and killed City Detective Al Moore is James McDonald, alias “Los An- geles.” His partner, who also shot at Moore, is the notorious Bob Stewart, alias James L.

Wit HER AuNT SHE UseED Polson AND A PistoL To Do THE DEED. OMAHA, NEpr., March 30.—Cora Smith, | formerly of Des Moines, who has lived in this city since last September, was ar- rested here and taken to Des Moines yesterday. She confessed to having as- ed in murdering her father. Before the successful attempt to kill him by poison- ing an attempt was made by shoeting him. The ball passed through-his head just back of the eyes, blinding him. Soon afterward poison in small doses was administered, from which he died last May. His wife was convicted of murder and sentenced to hife imprisonment. After the mother was sent to the penitentiary Cora began writing to ber, and in one letter told how she had assisted in poisoning her father, and im- plicated her aunt, Mrs. Ellen Leader. She said she was willing to pay the penalty. The thought of her mother suffering for a crime she bad not committed almost crazed her. . KILLED ONLY HIMSELF. John Brown Shot His Wife Before Com- mitting Swicide—She Will Recover. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 30. — John A. Brown, aged 30, employed by James A. Talcott of New York City, shot bis wife, aged 24 years, yesterday and then committed suicide. Mrs. Brown will recover. Brown, who has not been living with his wife for some time past, came to this city to-day and called at the home of her father, where the young wife has been living. Mrs. Brown was upstairs at the time, and being informed that her husband wished to see her started down the front stairs. When about halfway down her husband, who was standing in the hall- way, suddenly drew a revolver and com- menced firing at her. The frightened woman turned and ran upstairs. One shot struck her in the back of the head as she fled. Brown then coolly walked into the parlor, placed the revolver behind his right year and fired a bullet into his brain, dying almost instantly. The woman’s in- juries are pronounced not dangerous. - — SUED FOR A4 MILLION. Charges of Conspiracy Against a Chicago Railway Company. CHICAGO, Inss., March 80.—Charles T. Yerkes, the street-railway magnate, is the principal defendant in a suit which was filed in the Circuit Court to-day by the West and South Town Railroad Company, with damages alleged to be $1,000,000. Among the other defendants are the West Chicago Street Railway Company, John K. Parsons, general manager of the same, and the American Surety Company of New York. > The corporation bringing the suit is the predecessor of the Chicago Railway Com- pany.

A PERFECT HURRICANE Thunder and Lightning Help to Increase the Terror of the Elements. BUILDINGS ARE DAMAGED. Blockades Are Reported on the Street Railways and Business Practically Suspended. DENVER, Coro., March 30.—The snow and wind storm has continued here all day with unabated fury. It is the worst storm since the memorable one of March, 1891, which lasted three days. Heavy thunder and vivid flashes of lightning accompanied the beginning of this storm, a feature not unusual at this season. The velacity of the wind just before daybreak was terrific, and but for the heavy, wet snow, which served to hold things in their places, much damage would no doubt have been done. 20 the wind was blowing at the rate of forty-eight miles an hour, but it slowly decreased up to noon, when it registered thirty-four miles. A gable of the Columbine Schoolhouse was blown out. Stones weighing thirty- five pounds were blown over thirty feet, while heavy blocks lay piled up over eighty feet from the building. The tramway and cable companies are having great difficulty in moving their cars and many of the street railway lines are blocked. At 6 p. M. the snow was about a foot deep in this city, and it is badly drifted. Dur- ing the early part of the day trains on the railroads east and west were running on time, but the night trains are considerably delayed and if the storm continues much longer a general blockade will occur. The storm is excéptionally severe in ‘Western Colorado. Observer Brandenburg says the storm will abate during the night and colder weather will follow. The storm is rapidly advancing south- eastward and to-morrow the indications are that Texas and the Gulf States will get a touch of it. Reports From the North. OMAHA, Nesr., March 30.—The follow- ing specials to the Bee show the extent of the storm raging in Northwestern Ne- braska and Wyoming: Chadron, Nebr.—Twelve inches of snow haye fallen here to-day, and the storm is still raging. Tt is the heaviest snow of the season. Railroad traffic is blocked west of here. £ Cheyenne, Wyo.—A fierce snowstorm, accompanied by high winds, has been in progress here for twenty-four hours. Pas- senger trains on the Cheyenne and North- ern Cheyenne and Burlington are tied up, and no freight is moving on the Union Pa- cific main line. Unless there is a speedy cessation of the storm the losses of live- stock will be severe throughout Southern Wyoming. Casper, Wyo. — Since yesterday mnoon northeast snow has prevailed here. The snow is now fourteen inches deep. The absence of wind is remarkable and local sheep men are getting uneasy. Unlessa wind comes in the next twenty-four hours it is thought the sheep-range loss will be considerable, Cattle May Perish. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Coro., March 30.—The weather at Glenwood, which for a week orten days has been very warm and spring-like, suddenly changed yester- day and a cold rain set in, which continued to late in the night, when it turned to snow. Itisa very hard storm, and itis thought that many cattle that have struggled through the winter will perish. Business Suspended. BRIGHTON, Coro., March 30. — The storm is one of the worst ever known here, In many places the snow has drifted five feet deep. Business is entirely suspended, as it is impossible to face the storm. Fears are entertained that there will be a great loss of stock. The snow is very wet and sticks to everything it touches. Drifting at Castle Rock, CASTLE ROCK, Coro., March 30.—The worst snow and wind storm of the season prevailed here since an early hour this morning. 1tis blowing at a terrific rate and snow is drifting badly, and should the storm continue as at present it will impede railway travel. Cold at Leadville. LEADVILLE, Coro., March 30.—The weather is very blustery and cold at this place. The snow has been blowing in clouds all the day. Traffic Suspended. CENTRAL CITY, Coro., March 30— Eighteen inches of snow has fallen here, traffic is entirely suspended, and hardly a person ventures on the street. DONE BY BRAZILIANS. American Sailors Slain by a Party of Soldiers. BOSTON, Mass., March 30.—The Maine schooner Isaac K. Stetson has arrived from Brazil and Cuba with a cargo of sugar. The captain is C. F. Trask, the first mate J. F. Winslow, and the crew consists of four men. ‘While at St. Catherines, Brazil, the crew then with the vessel was set upon while on shore by Brazilian soldiers and so badly cut that two died immediately and one was left in the hospital there who was not ex- pected to recover. The fourth received one stab in the back, but it was slight and he came along with the Stetson. The affair occurred December 16, Fred Jonsen, a Dane; Ingall Ranschott, Charles Johnson and Nels Johnson, Norwegians, obtained permission to go ashore. Word came that night to Mate Winslow that his men had got into a fight, and an investi- gation found the men badly used up. Ranschott, Charles Johnson and Jonsen were terribly injured, the former having eight wounds, while the others each had five or six. Ranschott and Johnson died soon after being found. Nels Johnson had only one cut, that in the back. According to the story the men fell in with some girls, when a_party of soldiers came along and ordered them away. One word led to another, when the soldiers drew their daggers and attacked the saii- 018, who were unarmed, and made short work of them. Captain Trask saw the American Consul and he notified the American Minister at | Rio. The Brazilian officials took the mat- ter up at-once. It was understood that some of the soldiers had been found, but it could not be verified before the schooner sailed. R — FAILED 70 REPORT. The Uwited States Marshal Who Was to Arvest Settlers Did Not. OMAHA, NEBR., March 30.—A special to the Bee from Pender, Nebr., says that trouble on the Winnebago reservation over the Flournoy Cattle Company leases bids fair to result in bloodshed to-day. Sheriff Mullin went out on the reservation last night and returned to-day with a white man under arrest, who assisted the Indian police in ejecting a settler, and at once re- turned to the agency to arrest the Indian police for whom he has warrants. It is believed that the police will resist arrest and the outcome is awaited here with great anxiety. Captain Beck, the Indian agent, has been instructed from Washington to gwear in all the men necessary to eject the settlers, but what move he made to-day is not known. 5 - The Sheriff returned to-night. He says that the deputy United States Marshal re- ported to have gone there to swear in more men did not show up at Winnebago to-day, but is somewhere on the reservation sery- ing notices on lessees to vacate. He says, however, that Captain Beck advised him not to attempt to arrest any of the Indians and also that Beck thratened to arrest him, but did not do so. He claims that there were no signs of trouble and seems to be of the impression that all of the talk of Beck intending to eject lessees by force is gammon. The report is his arrest caused citizens to talk of raising a com- pany to rescue him, but all is quiet now. —_— 3 WANTS TO BE RE-ELECTED. Huntington Will Cling to the Presidency of the Southern Pacific. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 30.—C. P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pa- cific, was to-day shown a dispatch from San Francisco, alleging that there would be a brisk contest at the approaching an- nual meeting of the company. He said: “There is no dissension among the' directors of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific roads that I know of, but, if the directors wish a change, they may do so. I have not asked to be presi- dent at any time, but I expect to be re- elected president at the coming meeting.” Hubbard, who is partner of Stillman, quoted in the dispatch alluded to, said there was no truth in the story that either Ite or H. E. Huntington were candidates for the presidency. ‘“When the meeting takes place you will find that C. P. Hunt- ington will be selected.” — SENATOR FRYE.

New Postoffices and a Batch of Pensions deficit for the fiscal year at $25,000,000. The outlook for heavy receipts from the two great sources of income, customs and internal revenue, are not encouraging, particularly from the latter. During the month of August, 1894, the internal reve- nue receipts, in arfticipation of the in- creased rate ofiduty, ran up $27,562,000, but not since that time have they reached more than a third of that amount. In Sevntember they scarcely exceeded $7,000,~ 000 and since then they have slowly been increased until the present moment, when they amount 'to’over $9,800,000. This, however, is far below the expectations of the officials. The receipts from customs during the past twelve months have shown an nn- even, but, on the whole, a fair increase. During July, 1894, they reached the low figure of 8,427,000, but during August they increased to nearly $12,000,000 and during September to about $15,664,990. The three succeeding months showed a falling off from $4,000,000 to over $5,000,000. In 1895, however, they recovered to over $17,000,000 and then again there was a decline to $13,300,000, and then an increase during the present month to nearly $15,000,000. Only twice, however, since May, 1894, have the receipts from all sources equaled the ex- penditures. In June, 1894, there was a slight excess, and during August the excess reached $9,000,000. The receipts during that month were about normal, owing, as stated, to the.increased tax on spirits. All things considered, much depends upon the de- cision of the Supreme Court on the ques- tion of the validity of the income tax. Should the law be upheld, as seems alto- gether probable, the treasury officials look for fair sailing from this time on, but should the law be declared unconstitu- tional, an extra session of Congress may be called to provide for revenues sufficient to meet the needs of the Government, Dot IMPERSONATES A MONK.
