The list of the killed and injured is as follows: James Hamilton, motorman, crushed to death leaves a family.

Miss Ella McDole of this city, slightly hurt. Frank Anderson, Rochester, Pa., badly bruised.

The passengers were crushed and jammed in the wreck of the car, and had not rescuers quickly arrived on the scene, some of them would have been drowned, as the run was dammed and the water rose rapidly about the wreckage.

SITUATION GRAVE.

Trouble May Occur at Any Time in the ElUhorn Mining: Region. BLUEPIELDS, W. Va., July 9.—The situation is very grave in the Elkhoru mining region. Colonel White, Governor MacCorkle's private secretary, says the danger is imminent and that trouble may occur at any time.

A telegram from Governor MacCorkle to Colonel Tierney, says if any more parading with guns is done by the miners the troops will be sent immediately.

Threats of burning the tipples are made, and this with the derailment of cars has created serious alarm. The heavy guard of United States marshals, together with Governor MacCorkle's telegram, Colonel White thinks, has had a beneficial etfect.

The company here is in readiness to move at once if needed. Colonel White lias left for Elkhoru.

It says one of the castiron flange connection son the main steam pipe burst, close to the flange, causing the strain to breai one oi the main stop valves on tlie after boiler in starboard battery. The report says: "We inspected this steamer June 8, 1895, and gave her a very thorough and exhaustive test, and there was no defect of any kind. After examining all the evidence and testimony, which has been very thorough, we are unable to find any carelessness or lack of discipline on the part of the officers or crew, nor was there an excess of steam pressure carried at any time. Therefore, we are unable to state the cause of the accident except that it was one of those accidents for which no cause can be given."

SMUGGLING IN CHINAMEN.

Fully Three Hundred Have Crossed From Canada the I^ast Four Mouths. NEW YORK, July 9.—A special dispatch from Montreal to The Evening Post says: The customs officials in this city expect to make an important arrest in a few days in connection with the smuggling of Chinamen from Canada into the United States. During the last four months it is estimated by the authorities that fully 5300 Chinamen have been smuggled across the lines at various places.

The smugglers have grown so bold and the operations so extensive that the authorities at Washington decided on immediate action and sent 12 of the shrewdest United States secret service men to work up the case. Tlioy have made this city their headquarters, and during their sojourn of 10 days have succeeded in locating not only the leader of the gang, but have also found out the secret means of transportation.

Last Wednesday it was learned that the captain of a lumber boat in this port had arranged with the smugglers to convey 14 Chinamen from Soul, Que., to Troy, 1ST. Y., provided they were delivered to him near Soul islands. The captain Bucceeded in eluding the secret service officers and getting them oil" the tracrc and sailed up the Richelieu river to Lake Champlain and thence to Troy, N. Y., where he landed the Chinameu at night. The name of this captain has been secured and the name of his barge, and if he crosses into American waters again he will be arrested.

Some time ago a barge of lumber was seized at Troy by United States officials who suspected that it carried contraband goods. When the lumber was partly discharged the officers were greatly surprised to find iu the center of the load, neatly caged in, 18 Chinamen with their baggage. There are a large number of Chinamen in this city at present waiting to cross into the United States territory, aid many of them are paying the smugglers as much as $200 to get them across.

A scripture lesson was read by Rev. J. L. Barclay, of the JVL P. church, followed with a prayer by Rev. R. W. Thompson, of the Baptist church. After an anthem by the Church quartette, Mrs. Belle Barnett, Mrs. Fannie Carr, Horace Barnett an:l Howard Brauham, a history of the church was read by Major A. K. Brauham, who is one of the oldest members of the church. After the reading of the history, Hon. C. G.

THREE MEN BADLY WOUNDED,

A Running Fight Through the Streets, in Which a Xuinber of People Participated. The Dead Man Thought to Re C. E. Cole of Kansas City—Daring Attempt to Rob a Saloon.

CHICAGO, July 9.—In western desperado style, a man, supposed to be C. F. Cole, assaulted and attempted to rob P. G. McGlerin, iu his saloon at 04 Adams street, in the heart of the business district of Chicago yesterday evening. After wounding McGlerin the thief escaped and made the most remarkable race for liberty ever seen the streets of Cliic .go. After firing into the mob that pursued him and seriously wounding three citizens, he was run down and killed by Officer Rosen thai opposite the ^lit-rance of the Auditorium on Congress street.

The wounded are: P. C. McGlerin, a saloonkeeper, lire 3 wounds on the head will recover.

H. M. Sternberg, shot iu the abdomen, taken to St. Luke's hospital will probably die.

Samuel Scono. shot in the right leg will recover. McGlerin was alone in his saloon when Cole entered and ordered a glass of beer. This was served to him and he then asked tiie saloonkeeper to get him some meat chat he claimed to have left in the ice box of the saloon. McGlerin walked to the entrance of the ice box and Cole drawing a revolver ordered him to go inside and stay there. McGlerin turned and struck the robber the face, nearly knocking him down. The two men then clinched and fought desperately Cole managed to get one arm free, and with his revolver he pounded the saloonkeeper viciously, inflicting three severe wounds on the head.

The robber then broke loose from McGlerin and, running to the front entrance of the saloon, turned west on Adams street. Although bleeding profusely McGlerin followed him, aucl was only a few steps behind when the thief turned into O'Brien's saloon at 84 Adams street, and still holding the revolver in his hand, ran out of the rear door oil Quincy street. He then turned east, and State street boarded a southbound cable car.

McGlerin was still close upon him *1 however, and Cole, seeing that he could not shake off his pursuer, ran through, the car, heading his flight south on State street. Several c^izens had by" this time joined in the chase, and after l'unning one block to Jackson streec Cole fired a shot into the crowd, which fidled to hit anyone. The flight and pursuit then turned toward Wabash avenue and south upon that street.

Officers Rosenthal and Daly, in citizens' clothing were walking on Van Buren street just as Cole, closely followed by the uleeding saloonkeeper and a crowd of citizens, ran across that street going south. They at once* joined in the chase, and as Cole was badly winded by this time, they rapidly' came up with him. Half way between.^ Van Buren street and Congress street,© Rosenthal was close upon his man aur^ ordered him to surrender. Cole repl: with a shot, and the bullet tore into stomach of Sternberg, who was anion the leaders of the pursuit.

Just before reaching the corner of Congress street the officer fired at the fugitive, who returned the compliment. The bullet of the officer went wild, but? that of Cole brought down Stone, another of his pursuers, with a bail|f through the lejr. Rosenthal fired a second time, and this time Coie staggered.--He continued to run, however, turned,, the corner and ran east on Congressstreet until lie was directly in front ofo the entrance to the great Auditorium theater, where he fell. He died within two minutes without saying a word. The officer's bullet had passed through his left kidney and into the lung.

Nothing is known of the man Chi-?-cago, the police never having seen him belore. It is not known where he camo from and there is nothing found on hiss person which would throw any light upon the question of his identity. The' only manner in which his name could be determined was by tho laundry mark upon his clothing which read: "C. E. Cole." He was of slender build, aboutfe 6 feet 8 inches tall and had a dark' moustache.

Inside the collar of Cole's coat was a/ tailor's tag bearing tlia name of G. Burnheiiner & Company, Kansas City. From this the police are inclined to believe that the man came from that city.
