And Eighteen Mummified Bodies Found in One of the Well.Preserred Buildings. PiiCEXix. A. T.. March 24. A' party of Mexican laborers while digging in the extension of the Santa Cruz canal, came upon one of the strangest of the old Aztec cities. They struck the first ruin in cutting through the desert, about twenty feet below the surface, where it had doubtless been covered op by sand-storms, which are very severe here in tho summer. Everything about the old bnilding had been wonderfully preserved, even to the alkali in the sand. The first building consisted of a triangular structure about three hundred feet in length and two hundred in width. The roof, which had doubtless been thatched, had caved in. but the wooden pieces by which it was held together wore as sonnd as when put in thousand of years ago. They were pulled out of the) old walls, and are on exhibition. In the building was a stone trough about tho entire width, and made in sections, held together with a kind of cement. There were eighteen mummies in the building. The bodies show that the race of people were of medium size. After the Memphis Lynchers. Memphis, Tenn., March 24.

NEW INDICTMENTS COMING

Another Batch of Chicago BoodlerYili Be Caught in the Drag-Xet To-Day. Some Pertinent Inquiries that Aldermen Will Do Wei! to Read Where Did Powers (Jet Ris 1,000 Bills to Be Broken? Special to lbs Indianapolis Journal. Chicago, March 24. A number of indtctmeuts were prepared to-day by the grand jury investigating the boodle aldermen, but they were cot returned to the court, owing to the lateness of the hour at which the hearing closed. It is thegenerel impression that Secretary Soule, of the Urban Transit Company, and Alderman John Powers were caught in the jury's drag-net. Alderman John Woodard, of the First ward, vr&s the first witness to-day, aud be told all he knew of the Northern Pacific ordinance. Ex-Mayor John A. Roach was called next, and was with the jury a long time. He was wanted to tell what be knew about the "compressed-air" ordinance, and the methods by which a company got control of that part of the city not already exempted by Mr. Yerkes. "I told them that I was not connected with the company until after the franchise bad been secured, and therefore knew nothing of the ordinances passed' said Mr. Roach when he left the jury-room. I did not agree to take stook in the company until after the ordinance had been passed, and had not previously met Mr. Bacon. They asked me abont my call neon the Mayor previous to his signing the ordinance, and I told them what was said at that interview. I was there to explain the use of compressed air. and told the Mayor how successfully it was used in Paris. 1 did not ask the Mayor to sign the document, and when I left him I had no means of knowing what he would do with it." H. N. Hyde, a newspaper man. took the tand and testified to an interview he had with Alderman John Powers and F. A. Soule. He said Mr. Soule had told him on several occasions that he had been approached by an alderman, and from what ne said he inferred that Alderman John Powers had demanded money from him for tho passage of the Jefferson & Urban ordinance. He then went to Alderman Powers and told him what Soule had said. alderman powers on the rack. 'Did you approach Soule!' I asked. 'No said Powers, 'but Soule approached me and offered me money ti push the ordinance through the Council' "'What answer did yon make!' 'I told him I did not do business that way, and that this was not tho proper place for such talk.'" Hyde was allowed to go after telling the grand jury this, and John Poweri himself was called before the inquisitors. Powers is the saloon partner of the indicted suspect. Alderman "Billy" O'Brien. They run the saloon said to hate been used as a clearing-house by tho boodlera. For an hour Powers was on the rack, and be was mopping his brow when he emerged from the inquisition. He was asked where he got the two $l,(00 bills that he got changed at the' Metropolitan National Bank three weeks ago. His answer is not recorded. After Edward Dickinson, paying-teller of the bank, had told the jury what he knew. Mr. Powers was recalled and questioned further. The questions were evidently not to Mr. Powers's liking, for. when became out of the jury-room he appeared very mnch excited and angry. ' Other witnesses were Alderman Madden, who voted lor all three of the notorious ordinances; President Wegg, of the Wisconsin Central (Northern Pacific), and Theodore Gestfeidt, a newspaper man. Jndge Longenecker expressed himself as being well satisfied with the day's work. There has been a dispute betweou General Licb, foreman of the grand jury, and State's Attorney Loncenecker. An ngly scene is said to have taken place behind the closed doors of the grand jury-room. The foreman. General Lieb. is reported to have aocused State's Attorney Longenecker of frittering away time and shiolding from inquiry the suspects having a strong political or commercial influence. The State's Attorney is represented as having hotly retorted that it was worse than useless to make indictments where conviction could not be hoped for. TRYING TO SAVE THEMSELVES. Before the investigation is finished a deep probe will be Inserted into the inner management of the Jefferson & Urban Transit Company. The ordinance which has been hanging fire for many months has beei the subject of much discussion. The two men who it is believed can give important information in regard to the dickerings are strangely missing. John F. Thompson, the well-known real-estate-dealer, of 136 Washington street, was an original director in the Jeflerson-Urban Transit Company. Yesterday he voluntarily went before the grand jury and told how the directors were given to understand that $75,000 would be required to "grease" the ordinance before any franchise could be secured. He also told of an important conference held at the office of Hosmer & Fens, at which F. A. Soule and John J. Fenn, representing the company, met with two members of the aldermanic committee on streets and alleys. In view of the fact that F..A. Soule repeatedly made the statement that $75,000 had been demanded as the price of a franchise this secret meeting in a Clark-street real-estate office must play an important part in tho grand Jury investigation. Naturally Soule and Fenn wonld be important witnesses for the State, but alas, both aTe missing. Close upon the heels of the disappearance of these two important witnesses comes the resurrection of the JeffersonUrban ordinance. At the Council meeting on Monday evening the consideration of the ordinance was made a special order for next Monday evening at 8:30 o'clock. It is said around tho City Hall that strenuous efforts are being made to secure its passage. These three events the investigation, the disappearance and the revival of the . ordinance are said to be closely connected. The "sang" will grant the franchise if the promoters will only keep out of the way, and refuse to testify before the grand jury. Sntpectea of Jloodllug. Special to the Indianapolis Journe'. Terre Haute, Ind., March 24. The City Council to-night suspended City Engineer Cooper from office pending an investigation of the sewer-contract scandal This was brought about by the aotion of a largely-attended meeting of the Young Men's Republican Club, at which resolutions were adopted calling for such action on the part of the Council, as also for a thorongh Investigation of the charge that contractors had entered into a conspiracy to defraud the city, with tho guilty knowledge of the city engineer. The Council authorized the investigation by a committee of the Conncil, as it also did the employment of an expert engineer to investigate the recent letting of contracts for street pavements oud sowers amounting to nearly $XO,000, aud which many persons think were bid upon under some such combine plan as th contractors themselves recently admit existed. The conncil is Republican, bnt the blunder in accepting this latter bid was participated in by all tho Democratic councilman. The city engineer did not oiler to step aside and three councilmen voted against the resolution suspending him. The resolution was offered by a Republican and was opposed by two Republicans and one Democrat. The Kevolver Inventor Dead. Lowell, Mass., March 24.

Y., March 2t-In the Senate to-daySenator O'Connor offered a long preamble and resolutions regarding the aotion of Judge Maynard, of the Court of Appeals, in connection with the contested senatorial cases, authorizing the Senate judiciary committee to investigate the matter at once and report to the Senate as soon as practicable whether Judge Maynard has done any act which requires his removal as judge of the Court of Appeals, under Section 1? of Article 6 of the State Constitution. The preamble recites that it is alleged that the act of taking the statement of the Dutchess County Board of Canvassers from the controller's office by Isaac II. Maynard was in violation of a penal statute, and resulted in the State Board of Canvassers granting a certificate of election to a person not entitled to the seat, thereby depriving the people of the Fifteenth senatorial district of their rightful representative in the State Senate; that Isaao 11. Maynard has since been appointed by the Governor as a judge of the Court of Appeals, and it is believed by hundreds of thousands of citizens that hii appointment to that offico was in the natnro of a roward for his wrongful aud unUwfnl act in taking the statement from the hands of its proper custodian. It further recites that while Isaac II. Maynard coutinnes a member of the said court with such charges pending against bim its decisions will be locked upon with grave suspicion and its usefulness greatly impaired. Senator Cantor moved that the preamble and resolution be tabled, which was done by a party voto of 10 to 13. Senator Cantor himself then ottered a preamble and resolution regarding the matter, which ho said differed from that of Senator O'Connor, which ho held recited certain things tending to prejudice the case. He said his preamble simply stated the question fairly regarding Judge Maynard's connection with the contested senatorial cases, and concluded: Resolved, That the 'subject-matter contained In the foregoing document be referred to tho committee on Judiciary; and be it further. Resolved, That if tlie Assembly concur, the Judiciary committee of the Senate and Assembly be hereby directed to makq immediate investigation of the statements and allegations contained therein, with power to send for persons and papers and report their conclusions thereon with all convenient speed. Senator Cantor's preamble and resolution ws adopted. The above action is the outcome of the action of the New York Bar Association, which the other night adopted by a huge majority the report of its special committee, composed of seven Democrats and two Republicans, recommending that the Legislature be asked to remove Judge Maynard from the bench of the State for the part he took in the late contested election case. t Used Adopted Hill's Ratings. New York. March 21. The World prints a special dispatch Irom Columbia, S. C, as follows. While passing through South Carolina last Saturdsy Senator Hill was entertained by the editor of the Winnaboro News. The latter says: "Speaking of Speaker Reed's ruling in the Fifty-first Congress the Senator eaid that he had never taken any stock in the Democrats' criticism of Mr. "Reed's method of counting a quorum. Tn fact be said, 'Mr. Reed stole that ruling bodily from me. 1 ruled the same way against the Republicans when I was President of the New York Senate. I bad my reasons for it, and Mr. Reed took them and made uso of them in his own case Senator Hill said that he might have used this as capital for himself, but he saw that the Democratio party was being benefited by pitching" into Roed's position, and he did not say anything about. its having been stolen." - r. - i Tho Louisiana Fight Undecided. New Orleans, March 24. In the primary election, held on Tnesday, the contest between the tickets headed, respectively, by Foster and McEnery was very close, and both parties still claim to haro been successful. General Jastremski. of tho McEnery campaign committee, this evening states that he has gone carefully over all the figures received, and. after giving the Fosterites all they claim at points not beard from, he finds that McEnery is elected by not less than 1,500. Colonel Crandall. the chairman of the Democratio State committee, says the State has gone for McEnery by a maiority from 1,200 to 1,500. Chairman Rutecbnitt, of the Foster committeo. claims that they have carried the State by from 1,500 to 2,000 majority.

Free Jsl to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, March 24. Ex-Gov. Joseph B. Foraker, who was in the city last night for a short time, on his way to New York, said that Governor McKinley was not a candidate for tho presidency and would not be, as he favored tho renomination of President Harrison. He added, "McKinley is deservedly popnlar with the Republicans of Ohio, and if President Harrison wero out of the way thero would no doubt be a a strong disposition to nominate bim. I do not imagine there' would be any opposition to him in our State on any account; but, as 1 say, I do not think he Is a candidate. His relations to the President are such that he does not desire to antagonize him." Jngalls on Democratic Candidates. Atchison, Kan.. March 24. Viewing the presidential outlook from a Democratio stand-point, yesterday, John J. Ingalls said that Cleveland was the only man the Democrats could hope to elect, and he believed the ex-President would be tho nomineo of the Chicago convention. "This man Hill," continued Mr. Ingalls, "who is running abont the country in search of support, wonld carry fewer votes than any other Democrat who has presidential aspirations. Cleveland is a wooden man, but he is better thsn Hill." Political Notes. North Dakota's delegation to tho Chicago convention will be composed of Cloveland men. They will go uninbtructed, however. If the claims of Texas reformers are verified that benighted State will elect a Peoples party electoral ticket. Secrotary Shcerin, of tho Democratic national committee, who was at Chicago yesterday, says that the arrangements for erecting tho Democratic national convention wigwam there are complete.

AND BEST LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE OF OTHER BRANDS 'P0UNDS,2Q 4r HALVES,. 0 QUARTERS SOLD !N CANS ONLY HILL FARM MINE VICTIMS Bodies of Twenty-Three of the Unfortunate Men Brought to the Surface. Bit Yet in Their Untimely Tomb Evidence that AU Were Suffocated and Died in Rorrible Torture Scenes in the Pit. Dunbar, Pa., March 24. The dead have been wrested from their untimely tomb, and all that remains now is to accord a Christian burial to the miners who met their fate in the Hill Farm mine, at Dunbar. June 16, 1S90. Yesterday the bodies of twenty-three of the men were found. Six more are yet in the water that covers part of the mine. These latter unfortunates were in the dip at the time of the explosion aud their bodies will not be recovered until all the water is pumped out. The struggle for life of the entombed miners was terrible as it was brief. They were suffocated, not burned or starved, and it is improbable that any lived loneer than half an hour. There is an unwritten law of protection among miners by which they rush together at the sound of an explosion, impelled by a common mstinet of selfpreservation, for, together, they stand a better chance of lighting for freedom. 6o was it with the Hill Farm victims. When iouud they were huddled together in fiat No. 10. showing that they had rushed deeper into the mine, and that a moment later a scorching breath of death filled the flat, choking their lungs, bursting their veins and striking them to the earth, to linger in horrible torture for a few moments, and then to die. Six of the miners took refuge in one ill tlo room. When found they were piled en top of one another, contorted in ghastly shapes, heads thrown back, mouths, where the lips had fallen away, open, fieshless hands clinched and nails scarring the bones of palms, all sickening evidence of a death which was preceded by tortnre unimaginable. A short distance away were three minere, two of whom, the brothers McCourtney.afforded a tremulous, a fleeting spectacle of love, strong even unto death. They alone were clasped in each others arms, and their faces were composed, even though time had ravaged their manly forms aud drilled great wells where their eyes comforted each other in that last dread hour, when hope had fled. The third man sat beside them, his head between his knees. He had evidently kept his month close to the ground until the last vital breath of air bad beenexbansted.. Tho fourteen others were entangled in a space thirteen feet square. One had an open knife in his hand as though he intended to kill himself, but was stricken by a more sudden death of suffocation. As soon as the bodies wero found word was telegraphed to mine inspectors Blick. Evans, Louttit, Jenkins and Striver to come to the scene at once. The coroner was also notified, and an order was sent to Pittsburg for coffins. The finding of the bodies has caused a fever among the families of the dead men 6till living here. Two of the widows have again married, and a few others have moved away from the place in which tbey felt the great blow that the mine horror brought thetn. The search for the bodies has been carried on unremittingly by the owners of the Hill farm since the awful disaster twenty months ago. at a cost of over 8100,000. After two veeks' work the searchers were compelled so abandon the work for a time, till the fire which followed the explosion could be extinguished. The mine was then scaled up and flooded to subdue the fire, after which months were required to clear tb mino of water and the tons of collected debris produced by the fire. Coroner Holbert arrived from Uniontown at 0 this morning, and. after empaneling a jury, proceeded to the mine, where he met Superintendent IlilL They went down into the mine to where the bodies wero discovered, 4,200 feet from the surface. After viewing the remaina the coroner adjourned the inquest until the bodies could be positively identified, and ordered them brought out at once. A large crowd, including wives, mothers, sisters and children of the victims, surrounded the mouth ot the pit, as tbey did upon that fateful day and for weeks after. Their grief is as deep, but not so demonstrative as during the first week's watching and Craving. At 1 o'clock this afternoon ten odies had been removed from the mine, and all identified. To-night a remarkable scene is presented here crowds lingering about the mouth of tho pit until long after dark, expecting to see the bodies brought out every moment. It bns been found, however, that the work of lifting and placing the bodies in the coffins will be much harder than was expected. Many of the bodies which at first sight seemed to be firm and well preserved were found to be in a terrible condition when the men tried to lilt them into the coffins. Coroner Holbert has postponed the inquest nntil o'clock to-morrow, as complete identification of the bodies is impossible without the aid of daylight Meanwhile efforts are being made to find the remainiug six out of the twenty-nine who lost tboir lives. It is believed they will be fonnd a little lower down, and the Coroner to-night said he hoped tbey would be found in time for the inquest with the twenty-three others to-morrow.
