carajßhd caused the death of one or more persons who were passengers on the company’s cars. The Indictment states that the law distinctly forbids the use of stoves upon railway trains within the boundaries of New York State, and that the persons named above are therefore guilty of 'a misdemeanor. The announcement of the indictment did not cause much surprise, because the- Coroner’s jury held the Directors responsible for the fatalities of the collision of Feb. 20. The lowest penalty for the offense for which the officials are Indicted is a $1 fine and the highest 8500 fine and one year’s Imprisonment in the penitentiaryKEAN’S INDICTMENT TURNED IN.

Kean, of Chicago, and according to the agreement with the State’s Attorney Mr. Kean was at once notified by messenger. The indictment is not long, and simply charges embezzlement according to the language of the statutes, in having accepted deposits of money from W. W. Royer within thirty days of the failure of his bank, the same being in law prlnri facie evidence of an attempt to defraud. Kean came into court and gave ball in the sum of $5,080, with J. B. Hobbs and Joseph M. Kean as sureties. BARON FAVA RECALLED. The Italian Government Dissatisfied About the New Orleans Affair.

THE WEEK OF TRADB. SfetSo Satisfactory as < Wished, but with Better Prospects. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Trade has been rather quiet and hesitaring, as is natural at this season, and there is rather more complaint of slow collections, but throughout the Northwest bad weather and the bad state of country roads supply an explanation. Money is in fair and Increasing supply, and though still tight at Salt Lake and scarce at Jacksonville, and in stronger demand at Omaha and Milwaukee, is almost everywhere easier, so that the wants of legitimate business are met without trouble. The outlook for the coming crops continues exceptionally good. Wheat rose to f 1.16%, and at $1.15% is still 2 cents higher than a week ago, sales here having been 73,000,000 bushels. and corn with sales of 73,000,000 bushels, and corn with sales of 35,000.000 bushels has risen 4% cents to 78% cents, while oats at 59% cents are less thanl cent higher. Pork products have advanced, and coffee and oil a small fraction each, while cotton Is a sixteenth lower The general average of prices reached its highest point this year, and though now a fraction lower is still 1 per cent, above last week. But manufactured products do not share in the advance, except in a few cases. The iron market has a better tone. Copper is weaker, tin steady, with lead a shade higher. Wool is selling steadily at Boston, and the very large consumption of Australian is a surprise. Carpet works at Philadelphi are fairly busy.

MURDERED BY REDSKINS. An Indian Boy Tells How His Father Killed a White Man and Woman. In the Federal Court at Paris, Tex., testimony has been given showing that double murder has been committed in the Choctaw Nation by' Tonrtcss Williams, a full-blood Choctaw.

The man and woman left next morning, going toward Tomless' place. Later the boy and his grandfather went over toward T< roless’ farm, and there found the.woman, but not the man. The woman was crying. Tomless made the boy mount his pony, put the woman up behind him, and started them up the mountain, John and Tomless following with guns. On the mountains the boy was made to dismount and take the woman into the woods. At this the boy began crying again, and Tomless shot the woman in the head. She fell on the edge of a gully, into which they rolled her body, and piled rocks on it. Later they found the body of the man, shot in the forehead in a gully, and also covered with stones.

HALF A DOZEN JURY-BRIBERS. The New Orleans Grand Jury Will Return ■ everul Indictments. The New Orleans Grand Jury will return a half-dozen indictments against O’Malley and others. These will be all brought in together, so as to lay the whole business of the perversion of justice before the court at once. There are also a number of persons of whose guilt the jury is morally convinced but cannot obtain direct evidence sufficient to indict. Their names probably will be mentioned in a special report, which will have all the effect of an indictment upon the public mind. The. parish prison raid will not be taken up until afterward. Very little sleep is being lost over that portion of the case. If anybody should be indicted it will be because there is direct evidence of their participation in the attack, and there is very little of that sort of testimony. DEATH FOR THEIR CRIME s Two Pennsylvania Murderers Perish on the Gallows. At Wilkesbarrc, Pa.. George Washington Moss was hanged. Moss walked to the gallows smiling, with a firm and fearless pace.

The newspapers of Berlin dismiss the reported interview which the Marquis de Villeneuve says took place in 1866 between the late Prince Napoleon and Prince Bismarck, at which the latter Is s ild to have proposed a combination of France and Prussia against Russia and the rest of Europe, as being a piece of absolute fiction evident from the fact that Prince Napoleon was not even in Berlin in 1866. Burlington Flyer Wrecked. Near Sutton, Neb., the flyer on the Burlington Road crashed into the rear of a stock train while running at the rate of fifty miles an hour. It was snowing hard at the time and the flyer had two engines pushing a snow-plow.

Mrs. Francis Calkins, who is on trial with Frank Hendrix for the murder of her husband at Elkhart last April, has turned State’s evidence and made a full confession of the crime.

STRIKERS FORM A MOB.

COKE PLANTS IN PENNSYLVANIA DEMOLISHED. 1 A Bomb Thrown Into a Non-Union Workman’* House—Armed Deputies Powerless—The Sheriff Asks Gov. Pattison for Weapons, but the Request Is Refused. A Pittsburg dispat h says: The most eventful day in the coke strike was favorable to the men. The labor leaders say no preconcerted attack was made, but in view of the fact that three of the principal works in the region were raided, and that in the morning the operators had decided to resume all plants, the talk of accidental raids does not go very far. At two o’clock in the morning the strains of a band woke 411 strikers on the road from Scottdale to Bradford, and in a short time 1,500 men followed the musicians’ path, which was directed to the Jimtown plant of the H. C. Frick Company. This place was reached at 5 a m., when the works were captnted without a struggle, except the incidental disarming of Superintendent Rosser, whose revolver was flourished in vain. A few workers were struck with stones, but the body of strikers dispersed without serious damage. Some time later a terrific report in the direction of tbe Leisenring works gave a warning of trouble there and thousands grathered to witness the work of the first bomb exploded by the strikers. The shock was felt for several miles, but its only visible effect was the tearing of a great hole in the front of a non-union worker's house and the throwing up of considerable dirt in the vicinity. It is feared that such work is not over with, however, as the effect upon the unruly but thoroughly organized Hungarians was ominous. After this lhe workmen at Leisenring Nos. 2 and 3 were chased out of the yards and a few only returned when the excited crowd had departed. The few men at the Leith works were also driven out, though nobody is reported badly injured Trouble is also talked of at the Trott -r plant, but this is denied by the operators. The big Morewood plant of the Frick Company also contributed more than its quota to the exciting qvents of the day. This plant has been in partial operation, and has been carefully guirdel by deputies. Some 3,000 strikers gathered about the place, however, and swept the armed deputies aside as if they had been chaff. Not a blow was struck, not a shot fired, as such a move would have been fatal to both guards and workers in the face of the 3,000 determined strikers. After the abandonment of the works by the guard an hour of wrecking followed. Tracks, doors, and in fact everything movable were torn and wrenched aside by the maddened crowd, who only left after the plant had been mutilated beyond immediate repair. The central board of the federation meets in Pittsburgh, when the strike will be brought up up for indorsement. At Uniontown Judge Ewing granted a preliminary injunction against all men assembling at the Frick works not employed by that company. bheriff McCormick, with a number of armed deputies, left Uniontown on a special train to arrest the leaders in the several raids. Probably the ugliest feature of the several raids was the number of women participating, the most seriously injured man being PitBoss Cooper, who was struck again and again with an iron bar in the hands of an Infuriated woman. Secret meetings were held by the strikers, who w.ll certainly prevent the intended resumption. There has been much telegraphic correspondence between Gov. Pattison and Sheriff Clawson of Westmoreland County regarding the strike of the cokeworkers and,the attack upon the works of Erick & Co. of Morehead, The Sheriff asked permission to use the arms of two companies of the national guard to prseect property, but Gov. Pattison responded that “the civil power to maintain the peace must be exhausted and powerless before the military power can be invoked.” To this Sheriff Clawson replied that he did not want the troops, but only their arms. Gov. Pattison, however, in another dispatch declined to issue the desired order.

BATTLED WITH WAVES.

WRECKED ON VIRGINIA’S DESOLATE COAST. Tne Captain’* Wife and Child and Six Sailor* Find Watery Graves—Hr rMo Rr*eue of Nine of the Craw of the 11lFated VesshL The Norwegian bark Dictator, from Pensacola, Fla., to West Hartlepool, England, laden with pine lumber, with a crew of fifteen and the captain’s young wife and little boy of 3 years, went ashore in-a strong easterly gale four miles south ts Cape Henry, Va , and two miles north of the Virginia Beach’UHotel. The weather was so thick that the vessel was not seen until 9 o'clock a. m., and then she was in the breakers broadside on, within a quarter of a mile of the shore. Full crews from two life-saving stations, those of Cape Henry and Seatick, under command of Captain Drinkwater, were promptly on hand and began firing lines to the ill-fated bark. The guns could not deliver the lines so far, though they were repeatedly fired. The ship finally succeeded in getting a line ashore tied to a barrel, which the sui'f carried to the life-savers. The breeches buoy was quickly rigged and sent to the vessel, but unfortunately the bark’s crew were ignorant of»its use, and the rescue was delayed until Captain Drinkwayer, of the life-saving crew, wrote instructions, put them in a bottle, and sent it to the Dictator by the lineVonnecting the vessel with the shore. The men on board broke the bottle at once, as could be seen by glasses from the shore, and proceeded to carry out the directions.

The first man was delivered ashore in eight minutes, and seven others were rescued before sunset, four of whom came ashore in a life boat which was capsized, but the men succeeded in reaching the shore in a half dead condition, one man having his arm broken. During the entire day the ship ro led and pitched terribly, and made the work of rescuing the unhappy sailors exceedingly difficult and slow, as the lifeline wouid tighten or slacken in response to the motion of the vessel. Once the line broke with a man midway to the she re. and he was hauled back to the bark half dead. The line was mended and the same man safely landed. The beach was lined with people who had come from the country houses and the hotel, and to the spectators the anxiety and suspense was awful, as they could plainly see the people on the bark and hear their constant cries for succor. At nightfall there were still nine persons on the bark, and among the number the captain, his wife, and little child. The captain had urged his wife all during the day to take the buoy and come ashore, but she steadily ,sho would not leave her husband and child, and only one could take the buoy at a time. The wife and child were already greatly exhausted, according to the report of the sailors At night the work of rescue was continued, and the captain vainly besought his wife to make the attempt for life.

The bark is a complete wreck and went to pieces fast; the sea was tremendous. All that could be gathered from the half-dead sailors as to the cause of the stranding of the vessel was that they did not know where they were, the sun not having been seen for four days, and the weather so»thick last night and this morning that ,they struck the breakers before they could see the coast The life-savers worked all day with great heroism without food since morning. The apparently slow progress of the work of rescue is dua to the fact that a life-boat could not live in the surf, and that the guns would not reach the bark, and that the crew could not use the breeches buoy until they were instructed from shore, which caused great delay. The captain, just before the ship went to pieces, sprang into the sea with his son strapped to his back and reached the shore alive, but the boy was lost, making a total of eight lives The Dictator was trying to make Hampton Roads, having been fifteen days di.-abled by hurricanes.
