This was the title of a famous novel, and it In a question that cornea to peoole in many periods of life. In none Is It more Important than when It concerns the final disposition u property. Usually It is easy to determine among whom to divide an estate, but the manner and extent of division are not so easily settled, while It often Is very difficult to select an executor who is competent and will serve. It Is harder still to choose a trustee, if one wishes to create a trust that must be maintained for a series of years. A man may have extravagant children or Improvident sons-in-law and may wish them only to have a life Interest in the estate, while the principal shall go to their children; he may have afflicted or dependent children; he may have poor relations for whom he wishes to provide during life; he may, for many reasons, wish to create a trust. In whose hands shall he place It? His selection may prove faithless or Incompetent; he is certain to die, perhaps long before the trust la fulfilled, and strangers may be appointed to succeed. An Individual trustee Is not the best under ordinary circumstances. A corporation with large responsibility, conservatively managed and under the inspection of the State government. oilers an opportunity which no thoughtful man or woman can resist. It will never die or abscond. Its business is the undertaking of Just such trusts and It can do the work better and cheaper than most Individuals can do.

SANK INTO THE EAJJTH LITTLE 3IINING TOWN OP SCOTCH VALLEY, PA., SWALLOWED UP. Dozen Houses Have Disappeared and Others Arc Slnklnu Disaster Cansed by the Caving In of a. Mine. LOFTY, Pa., Sept. 5. The little mining town of Scotch Valley, In Lackawanna county, near this place, was swallowed up to-night In one of the most complete mine cave-ins ever known In this region. The scene of the disaster is on the eastern slope of Mount Lookout,, tha score of houses composing the hamlet being at the mouth of the shaft of Mount Lookout colliery. The wildest excitement prevails throughout the region, and details are fragmentary. It is known, however, that the dozen houses on either side of the principal street of the hamlet are swallowed up In the gaping sink hole, and nothing can be seen of the other buildings of the town but the roofs, gables and chimneys. It is Impossible to state accurately the number of fatalities, or if there are any. Rescuing parties are now exerting every means to release the occupants of the engulfed dwellings. One of the buried houses has taken fire. The cave-in was caused by the giving way of the timber supports In the workings of the Mount Lookout colliery, which have not been in operation for about two years and had been neglected in consequence. About 5 o'clock this afternoon the Inhabitants of. the hamlet were startled by the rumbllrg, thumlerlike reports, which warned them of the falling of tons of rock and debris Into the deserted caverns of the abandoned mine many feet beneath them. Ominous as were these sounds, the terror stricken townspeople were still further horrified when the ground trembled and swayed like an earthquake beneath them. Report was followed by report and accompanied by other tremors, and then the village sank out of sight In the gaping cavity. Meanwhile some fifty miners were Imprisoned In the colliery. They had been at work In a new portion of the mine and the usual means of exit ffom the mine was completely wiped out by the cave in. James Perrin, one of the oldest f the miners, got the men together, and started to lead them up through a tunnel which had been used as an air shaft, but which leads to the surface through a series of slopes. The rescuing party on the surface had made an attempt to cut a passage through the mas3 of debris which blocked the main entrance. Failing In this, some of the more daring of the rescuers descended the air passage and penetrated the slope where the Imprisoned miners were struggling upwards. The len 'A'ere carried to the surface, iiere the crowd of panic-stricken people were awaiting them. Up to 9 o'clock to-night all the persons Who could be found have been taken from the ruins, although the full roll of thoso

W. T., Sept. 5.-This part of the Territory Is threatened with an Indian uprising. On Saturday a messenger named Day brought word that the Indians around Jackfish lake had risen and seized all the guns, ammunition and horses belonging to settlers in that neighborhood. It is said that Gabriel Dumon, Louis Rlehl's lieutenant, is there and inciting the Indians to trouble. Thirty mounted police went to the scene late Saturday night and nothing has been heard as to their movements. Much anxiety is felt. These Indians were nontreaty Indians, and belong to the Sotos. All white women have been removed to one large house, which in itself is a sign of danger. CASE FOR CLEVELAND OXE OF HIS "OFFICIOUS PARTISANS' CAUSES A DEADLY IlIOT. Federal Marshal nnd Depntlea Fire Into a Crowd of Hrojther Democrats, Kill One and Wound Others. WAYNE. W. Va Sept. 5.-Murder was the result of a political meeting here last night. One man was killed and three others seriously wounded. Ex-Governor "Wilson, Democratic candidate for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Camden, made a speech, and after he had finished United States Marsh.tl Vinson, who Is a strong Camden man, attempted to address the crowd. There was hooting and yelling. and one of Vinson's deputies drew a re volver and fired. The firing then became general, three of the deputies joining in it, and it is charged that Vinson also fired several shots. Vinson and his men Jumped on their horses and fled. William Frizzell, one of the Wilson supporters, was the man who was killed. He was shot through the stomach and died this mcrnlng. There is intense indignation and stps rrtll be taken to have all the deputy marshal arrested at once and ousted from office. Charged with Fraud. ST. LOUIS. Sept. S. Oeoree II.

DEATH LIST GROWING

Bodies of More Victims of the Minnesota Fire Discovered. Number of Dead at Hinckley and Vici ity Now Given as 250 and at Other Points About 150. IiELIEF MONEY POURING IN Checks of 5,000 Each from J. J. Hill ami Sir Donald Smith. Delated Incidents of the Conflagration Eight Persons Burned or Suffocated at High Bridge, Wis. PINE CITY, Minn., Sept. 5. The death roll at Hinckley Is growing, but slowly. Early to-day the remains of three bodies were brought in from the eastern county road. One was a man. Of the other two there was left but a hand and a leg. The hand was that of a child, but the leg was that of a boy. Later in the forenoon the bodies of Mr. Lovell and his family, four altogether, were recovered. They lived about two miles north of town. Searching parties are out in all directions, but their orders were to bury the dead where they He. The seven bodies brought In, with the body of Axel Hanson, county commissioner, which was not included 'n yesterday's total, brings the total number in Hinckley up to 221, and In the vicinity of Hinckley to upwards of 230. As yet It has been Impossible to approach the mill pond. The heap of sawdust and edgings which form its bank are still sending up dense clouds of blinding smoke, rendering it impossible for a man to get near the water. It has been decided to draw off the water, as It Is now supposed that there are many bodies in the pond. At Pine City the work of relief is running smoothly. Arrangements are being perfected for a grand memorial meeting to be held In the park on Sunday evening. This suggestion was made at a meeting of the general committee and met with Instant favor. The memorial services will be extensive in character, and will be participated in by several Twin City ixistors. There has been, a good deal of talk to the effect that Hinckley and .Mission Creek, having bken wiped from the face of the earth, would simply remain a memory. Nothing is further from the truth. Hinckley, being a junction point and a source of labor supply, could not help being resurrected, and the work of restoring the town as fully as possible will be begun at once. The same will be done at Mission Creek. THE CORRECTED FIGURES. Total Number of Deaths Will Reach Nearly 40O. ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 5. A special to, the Pioneer Press from Pine City says: Tonight's corrected figures are of a character calculated to lower rather than raise the total number of dead. There has been an Increase over previous estimates at Hinckl;y, but the prospect of any considerable number remaining still In the woods is decreasing. There are 233 buried in Hinckley graveyard, and perhaps a dozen more buried at other points in the vicinity, increasing the total here to about 250, but the additional number here may be safely taken away from the liberal estimate allowed for those yet unfound, leaving the total between 375 and 400. Three of the bodies found to-day were identified as the Olsen children. Their mother ia in the hospital at Minneapolis, badly burned. When she was here at Pine City she was confident that her husband and children were alive. The children have now been found and thj father is undoubtedly dead. Mr. Webber's report of Interments shows an Increase over the estimates. All that have been brought in were burled, and his list shows 233. He says to-night that possibly this ia too low. as a few boxes were put in nnd recorded as containing single bodies before he learned that some boxes held more than one corpse. After that he opened each box before it was coveied and counted the bodies. The four trenches were rounded and smoothed over ar.d the traces of the work that has gone on there for the past four days removed so far as possible. The force was dismissed and probably no more organized work vill ba done in the cemetery. Dr. Norton, of Minneapolis, wno went over to Mora yesterday, reported to Pine City this afternoon that the total dead at that point was twenty-three, and that all the missing were accounted for. This Is an increase of but two at that point. No changes were reported from elsewhere. A movement is in the air here to do something by way of testimonial for the crews of the Duluth & Eastern trains which took out so many people, although it has not taken definite shape. Word was received to-night from H. D. Hart that Governor Nelson would visit the burned district and would be present at Sunday's exercises if possible. THE RELIEF FUND. Jaiuea J. Hill nnd Sir Donald Smith Swell It with $.,000 Checks. ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 5. Subscriptions for the fire sufferers jumped up rapidly to-day. The first one came from President James J. Hill, of the Great Northern railway, of wrhlch road the damaged Eastern Minnesota Is a branch, and was for $3,000. Accompanying It was another subscription of $5,000 from President Hill's associate in the Great Northern, Sir Donald Smith, of Montreal. Several New York commercial firms turned in a total of $1,300, while the agents of leading New York Insurance companies gave $1,000. Altogether the money contributions will aggregate up to this time alout 3,000. Minneapolis has already raised $12,000 and is rapidly increasing the amount, and Duluth has a fund of $10.00J, while every town in the State has sent smaller amounts. A message was received in this city today from Governor Peck, of Wisconsin, asking that, to avoid confusion in furnishing supplies, the Minnesota people look after their State; that Wisconsin would take charge of all the suffering in theirs. At 2 o'clock this morning two car loads of provisions from this city reached Shell Lake and Cumberland, Wis., for the destitute at those places. The relief committee realizing that this was the nearest point to the places named, rushed supplies there to prevent all danger of suffering. . Besides his subscription of $5,000 cash to the relief fund. Mr. Hill has given 5.0 acres of good agricultural lands for the Hinckley survivors. These lands are valued at $3 per acre, or $K,000 in the aggregate, and will be given to those people for homes. INCIDENTS OF THE FIRE. Another Engineer Who Proved n Hero Ernest HoRnn' Long Crawl. ST. PAUL, Sept. 3. The heroes, of the forest fire were many. The stories of engir.eer Root and crew, or tne St. Paul &. Duluth train, and that of the Eastern Minnesota crew so nobly headed by engineer Hest have been told, but engineer Ed Berry and conductor Harry Powers, of the Eastern Minnesota freight, come in the front rank also among the heroes who have stood the trlr by fire. Four hundred and seventy-eight people whom they picked up and carried back to safety in the box cars were carried over burning ties in the face of the knowledge that an- ' other train in the opposite direction had the right of way and was liable to be met anywhere in the dense smoke and flames. Besides there was a terrtbls ride over a 130- ; foot bridge across the Kettle river, which i was blazing and trembling . under the I -wheels, apparently ready to fall. Fifteen

minutes after the train passed the ruins of the bridge went down into the river. It was at this bridge a number of men crowded Into the cars and begged the engineer to uncouple the train and carry them to safety, leaving the people in the cars to perish. They were summarily fired out by the engineer, who finds no words severe enough in speaking of them. One of the most pathetic an I heartrending tales is that of James Kelly and Ernest Hogan. As a result Kelly was buried to-day at Pine City, and Hogan, with his feet and hands terribly burned, lies at Sandstone with a fighting chance of recovery. Kelly was camp foreman for O'Brien Brothers, whose camp is eight miles from Hinckley. When the fire drew Perilously close to the camp and the tr.en could fight It off no longer they started to walk to Sandstone, seven miles away. About a cuarter of a mile beyond Kettle river Kelly became exhausted and said he could go no further. By this time Hogan's shois were so badly burned, his feet so blistered that he was compelled to take to his hands and knees. In this shape he mar-aged to crawl into a ravine near by. Looking around he saw Kelly rise again and drag himself over a ridge. Cool up to that time, he appeared to lose his head. Hogan thought that Kellv had wandered in a frenzy into the flames, but soon he reappeared, and, stopping for a moment on the ridge where he had gone, he fell and rolled over and over until he struck the bottom of the ravine dead. Hogan lay all Saturday- night In the ravine, expecting that every moment was his last. However, he did what few men would do started for Sandstone on his hands and knees. No one knows what he suffered as he tolled wearily. Fully six miles more, incredibly ps It may seem, he crawled, reaching Sandstone after having spent the entire time since Saturday night on the way. His hands and feet suffered and he will bear the marks to his grave. When Hogan had told his storv James Welsh and

Frank Lord went in search of Kelly and his body wrs found in the ravine. It was taken to Hincklev and then conveyed by the work train to Pine City. The dead man was a Knight of Pythias and his remains were buried to-dav by Pokegama Lodge Iv. of P. of PHe City. There was a wedding at Duluth yesterday witnessed by several hundred fire sufferers. The bride was Sophia Samuelson and the groom John Deroser, both refugees from Sandstone Junction. It was one of the few cheerful Incidents of the fire. Chief of Police Armstrong was best man and Mrs. Crowley, head of the women's relief corps, was bridesmaid.- The father ii.a mother of the bride stood with the others and her brothers and sisters and the family dog looked on from the corner of the room. The families of tb bride and groom are fire destitute. Peroer in a few days will reftirn to his farm, and, with & Vox car for a temporary house, put up . modest cabin, his bride meanwhile staying with friends. He is a plucky fellow and his bride also has plenty of grit. Hamlet of Cromwell Darned. CARLTON, Minn., Sept. 5. Everything is burned at Cromwell except the schoolhouse. Fire came upon the place without warning. The people saved their lives by getting Into the lake. It Is feared that many settlers lost their lives. No lives are reported lost in this- vicinity. The fires are still smoldering, and another wind would cause still further disaster. EIGHT MORE VICTIMS. The Towney Family "Wiped Ont nt High Bridge, Win. ASHLAND, Wis., Sept. 5. The bodies of the eight persons who lost their lives at High Bridge have been Identified as follows: FRANK BARGREEN, married, 'aged thirty. MAGGIE BARGREEN, married, aged fifteen.

Within twenty feet from Towney's house Is a fifty-foof well, containing a foot or two of water. Into this well, when the fires were upon them, bed clothing, feather ticks and clothing of all kinds were thrown. A ladder was let down, and into this death trap the family went and all perished. Fisher Meadow in Ashes. CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis... Sept. S. Fisher Meadow, near Estella, a small settlement, was wiped out to-day. John Paul and James Mitchell, of this city, lost both of their extensive logging outfits and camps and a large quantity of logs. The Buchanan mill was also destroyed. The fire is said to be running toward Murray, where danger la apprehended. Mayor Hines, of Cumberland, has telegraphed that the small towns in that vicinity are In ashes. Small Settlement Darned. WEST SUPERIOR, Wis., Sept. 5. Along the line of the Omaha railway, south of here, the fires are still burning. At Superior Junction the fires were reported very bad to-day, but at last accounts the town was still safe. At Poplar three residences, a schoolhouse, railway ties, cedar posts and millions of feet of timber were burned. A small settlement about twenty miles north of Iron river burned to the ground last night, but the residents escaped. Surrounded with Smoke, CLEARFIELD, Pa., Sept. 5. Clearfield is surrounded to-night with a dense smoke coming from forest fires in this section. Occasionally fine cinders can be seen flying through the air, and the odor of burning wood is clearly perceptible, all these facts Indicating that the desolating fires are not far away from this city. Spread to the Canadian Side. WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 5. Minnesota forest fires have spread to the Canadian side and are burning the entire country 'along the Italn river. Mrs. Gamsiey and four children are reported burned to death. DSEAD PEST AT LAST CASE OF ASIASTIO CHOLERA FOUND AT CUMBERLAND, MD.

SPEECH BY HARM

Tho Ex-President Makes a Brief Address to West Virginians. He Alludes to the New Tariff and tho Declaration of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Wiisou that It Is Not a Finality. AS A PATRIOTIC AMERICAN He Calls Attention to the Effort to Ruin Our Industries. Turbulent Convention of Colorado Pop. ulists Waite Secures a Renomination New Hampshire Republicans. ELKINS, W. Va., Sept 5.-The Republicans of the Second congressional district never had as large a convention as the one that to-day nominated Alston Gordon Dayton, of Barbour county, to run against W. L. Wilson, chairman of the ways and means committee, for Congress. Ex-Pres-ldent Harrison arrived at 1 p. m, by special train from Cumberland, and, with hij daughter, Mrs. McKee, Is the guest of exSecretary Elklns. A committee was appointed to call on the ex-President and invite him to address the convention. When the committee escorted the distinguished visitor to the open-air convention there wai a great demonstration. The ex-President said: "I came here to this beautiful valley of the mountains to pay a visit to a citizen with whom I have been very pleasantly associated. It was not expected that I should be called on to address any public body, but, when invited, I choose to come. "You are assembled to discharge an important public duty, and I will not. therefore, detain you with any speech. This district will be before all eyes this autumn. This contest is not local. It happens that your present Representative was assigned to prepare the tariff bill and had attached his name to it. It is, therefore, expected that his conduct will be subjected to severe and careful scrutiny. Unfortunately, tha proclamation has been made by President Cleveland and Mr. Wilson that the tariff bill is not a finality, but that this distinctire warfare is to go on. If you approve this show it by returning Mr. Wilson to Congress, but if, on the other hand, you have felt the effects of the depression. If you think more of those you prefer to lead the country through the slough of despondency, show it by defeating him. "I cannot say much of the last administrationdelicacy forbids me to say much of this but if you consider the heads of departments and subordinate olflcers, you will see that there was an attempt to act for the best Interests of all the people. I cannot say how far we have succeeded, but only that we have done the best we could do. "If the people, at the elections this fall, condemn the recent action on the tariff, w shall have an end of tariff tinkering. 'When the tide of emigration started from the seaboard it turned to Ohio and the interior valleys, but now it is toward West Virginia. Now the spring of commerce is coursing through your fertile valley. The pick and shovel are busy. Is this a time, through the cheap ocean rates, to bring into competition with your products the cheap coal of Nova Scotia? I speak as a patriotic American who feels an Interest in the honest people. To your Judgment, by the quiet November firesides, this question must be settled, and may you have the courage to do your duty. I thank you for your attention, and hope that j-ou will immediately nominate the best man." Ex-President Harrison was received with enthusiasm, and his brief speech favorably commented on by other speakers. He waa freely applauded at various points. AVilMon SnllM for Europe. NEW YORK, Sept. 5. Congressman W. Li. Wilson, the framer of the Wilson tariff bill, sailed for Europe to-day, on board the steamer Paris. He goes abroad solely for rest and recuperation. WAITK RENOMINATED. The Flre-Eatinjr Popnllst to Run for Governor Affnln. PUEBLO, Col., Sept. 5. Pandemonium broke loose at the Populist State convention almost as soon as it was called to order to-day. The majority report of the committee on credentials favored the seating of the Waite delegates from Denver and the Bare la delegates from Las Animas county, indicating that Waite and Barela had reached an understanding. Thomas M. Patterson, leading the opposition to Waite, appared on the stage and endeavored to speak. The convention refused to hear him until the majority report of the credentials committee had been adopted with a hurrah. A motion was then carried allowing Mr. Patterson five minutes to address the convention. Mr. Patterson said he was hissed out of the Populist convention as he as howled down in the last national Democratic convention when he ?vas making a fight for silver. Nothing he could say in five minutes, he said, would make any impression upon the delegates, and he would therefore simply enter the protest of thee minority. Ed Holden, an anti-Waite man, attempted to speak, but was howled down; thereupon the Patterson delegation from Denver left the hall, followed by about a dozen other delegates. Governor Waite was renominated on the first ballot, receiving all but a half dozen votes, which were given to Congressman Pence. The nomination was later made unanimous. When introduced to the convention he was received with tremendous cheers. After thanking the delegates for the honor bestowed upon him, he said: "I 't take this as an indorsement of all ollicial acts, a I know I have ma; levous mistakes, but I take it as an t .ssion of confidence in me and that h I hav. acted honestly, if not wisely." Con gressmen Pence, In response to loud calls, made a speech urging united support of the ticket. He said that under no circumstance would he be a candidate for any office.
