THE SAN FRANCISCO 'CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1901. NEERD MURDERER *STIL AT LARGE Pursuers Discouraged Over the Failure of Their Efforts. Bloodhounds Trace Him to a Coal Mine, but There Lose Their Scent. e A HOLDEN, Mo., Aug. 23.—"Bossie” Fran- cis, the murderer of Miss Mary Hender- son of Columbus, Mo., on Tuesday even- ing, has thus far eluded his pursuers and to-night the large posse that has been searching for him partially disbanded, dis- couraged over the failure of their efforts, after having been, as they supposed, at the point of capturing the negro. A pack of bloodhounds were obtained to-day from | Manhattan, Kans., and taken to the Hy- | att farm, the scene of the murder. They | found the trail of Francis readily and followed it straight to the coal mine at Blackwater, owned by a negro named John Hardy, whose wife is an gunt of | | | Francis. The posse. composed of 200 men, felt gure that Francis was kLidden in the | mine shaft, but as he was known to have two pigtols none of the men ventured to go down. Finally A. W. Rice, owner of the bloodhounds, entered the mine, tak- ing the dogs with him, but failed to find Francis after a thorough search. Late this afternoon Deputy Sheriff Tem- ple of Warrensburg called a council of the posse, and after discussing the situa- tion the men decided to disperse for the night, leaving & few of their number on guard at the important points, The search will be continued to-morrow by a large number of men. Charies W. Hyatt, brother-in-law of the murdered woman, will offer a reward for the arrest or for the body of Francis, and this is expected to stimulate the efforts of the volunteers, Francis is known to all the negroes in the cotuty and is very popular among them, No one supposes that he has gone far from Columbus, and it is thought that | ne negro in the neighborhood would re- fuse him food or sheiter. There are sev- ral negro settlements in the district and | tHere are negro cabins everywhere. All | the negroes have been disarmd by the | volunteers and their houses searched. There seems to be no doubt that Fran- | cis first fled to his uncle's house at Black- water and then took refuge in the woods. | At this season of the year the vines and | weeds azlong the numerous creeks make thick shejter. | The three negroes taken to Warrens- | burg, suspected of having aided Francis | in his flight. are in no danger, the town | being entirely quiet to-night.

M. Georges Dorys, son of the late Prince of Samos, a former Minister of the Sul- tan of Turkey and formerly Governor of Crete, has been condemned to death by the Sultan’s courts at the direction of Abdul Hamid II. This action was taken in Constantinople because of the publica- tion of M. Dorys’ book, “The Private Life of the Sultan.” The book so angered the Turkish ruler that he exerted his influence in diplomatic chennels to have it suppressed in all Euro- pean countries. His efforts succeeded in Sweden, but the popular outery against suck_action in Paris was so strong that the Government declined to exert itself. i rys secretly left Constantinople some time ago and is now a_resident in Parls, where he has identified himself with tbe Young Turks' party.

GHAES - RUNAWAY CARS Train Rushes Down a Mountain Grade at Terrific Speed. Special Dispatch to The Call. ~ TACOMA, Aug. 20.—The most unique instance of an entire train running away ever known in the Northwest occurred last night at Ellensburg, when a heavily laden freight train of thirty-nine cars got | beyond control and rushed down a moun- | taln grade for twenty-two miles at a speed of sixty miles an hour. By great good luck no other train was met and not the slightest damage resuited. Neverthe- less the railway men stand aghast at the thought of the frightful accident which would have resulted had the runaway train met another train or some other obstacle. main line at the Ellensburg yard prepara- tory to attaching to it a locomotive which would haul it to Spokane. In some unaccountable manner the train broke loose and started down the grade toward Yakima. | ~Three brakemen jumped off a mile be- | low Ellensburg, after trying in vain to | stop the train with hand brakes. Before they could hurry back to Ellensburg ar- rangements were perfected to send in pursuit of the runaway train the fastest | engine in the Ellensburg roundhous With a double locomotive crew it was quickly switched on the main line and orders given to catch the missing train at all hazards. hour was quickly attained and sustained until the freight cars were overtaken at Rosea, twenty-two miles beyond Eliens- burg. At this point a slight upgrade was encountered, which somewhat slackened the momentum of the runaway train and made it possible to couple an engine to it. Soon_ after the train was brought to a standstill and flagmen were sent ahead to warn approaching trains.

Ru- dolph Hering of New York and other ex- perts have been brought here in further- ance of this design. Two sources of supply were discussed at length—artesian wells east of the city and the Sacramento river, the water from which should be purified and rendered clear by & mechanical filtration plant, such_as is being introduced in Washing- ton, D. C., and other Eastern cities. The committee, by a two to one vote, has de- cided for the river filtration pian.

MINE WORKERS FINGH LIBOR Membérs Will Insist on Companies Giving ‘Written Contracts. HAZLETON, Pa., Aug. 20—With the adoption of the report of the committee on resolutions the United Mine Workers thls" afternoon practically finished their work. Thé convention will adjourn to-morro The resolutions recommend written in- stead of verbzl agreements with all the coal companies, strict compliance with the present contract and continuation of the card inspection system as now conductea and instruct President Mitchell and the district presidents to confer with the coal | companles regarding card inspection and violation of agreements and to arrange These officers are vested with power to declare a strike if contracts now in force are not lived up to. The resolutions call attention to the ad- vantage resulting to both miners and operators by a written contract covering the wage rate for a stated period and specifying the conditions of labor. The committee alleges that instead of agree- ing to the request for a written agreement the various companies posted notices of an indefinite character. In many in- stances, the resolutions state, written notices posted and verbal agreements made by superintendents with committees have been violated under various pretexts. Employes who derived the benefit of the 10 per cent increase have, it is asserted, been discharged and new men placed in their positions at the cld wages. The committee states in the resolutions that if the miners are required to live up to their agreements, then the coal companies should do likewise, instead of seeking to destroy the mine workers’' organization by intimidating the men. Hereafter the miners will Insist upon written agree- ments, which shall be stgned in joint con- vention before the present contract ex- pires and they will also insist upon the present working card being continued un- til the question of a general working badge for the bituminous and anthracite regions is decided upon at the nextna- tional convention.
