Secretary Root Makes Decision Involving Millions of Dollars in Pittsburg.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25 Secretary Root, after many months' consideration of the subject, to-day decided a question involving several million dollars, growing out of the application to oblige the elevation of the six bridges over the Allegheny river connecting Pittsburg and Allegheny City. The secretary denied these applications. He points out that to grant the applications, which were opposed by the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny City, would involve the practical rebuilding of some of the bridges, an extensive change of street grades and serious Injury' to improved real estate near the river, and that the whole would cost several million dollars. The , bridges, he says, for only a few days In llM year, at the time of high water, offer obstruction to river traffic. The elevation af the bridges was requested In the inter st 1 ot the large scheme of improvement of the. Allegheny so as to afford slack water navigation to the great Mississippi and Ohio river steamers as far up the river as Olean, N. Y. COLLIERY CATASTROPHE; 180 MIXERS EX TOM BED 220 FEET UXDERGRO UXD (concluded from first page of 14th district reached Harwick about 7:30. When seen by an Associated Press reporter, just after his arrival, he said: 'I went to Greensburg to inspect a mine this afternoon, and when I reached home I found a bunch of telegrams telling me of this disaster. The mine vhere the explosion took place was inspected, I think, about the first of December. There was some gas in there then, but I never considered the mine dangerous." The last inspection blank hanging on the nail on the mine company's office Is dated July. 17, 1903, but it is evident that a later report has been torn off. TWO MEN DIED. Late to-night Manager Scheets telegraphed to Chief Mine Inspector J. A. Roderick at Harrlsburg as follows: "Two outside men died of injuries this evening. But one brought out of the shaft, who is still living. Rescuing party In mine, including Mine Inspector Cunningham, who will advise later." H. F. Hutchinson, who gave out the lamps to the miners before they went to work in the pit this morning, said: "At 7:30 o'clock, the time when the whistles blew and when every one is supposed to bo at work at the mine, I had given out between 180 and 190 lamps, which was one lamp to a man. anJ not 'one lamp has been returned." There is a light In every cottage in the little hamlet above the pitjnouth. There is still a crowd at the mouth of the shaft, but it will probably be hours before the full extent of the catastrophe is known. The little school house has already been prepared as a morgue and hospital. The benches and seats have all been removed and eight girls from the highest class at the school have been impressed as nurses. Doctors have been summoned from surrounding towns of Sprlngdale and Denny and also from Pittsburg, but nothing can be done until further details come from the mine. MANY HETtOES. There were many heroes in oilskins and overalls and with grimy hands, gathered around that black hole to-night. At every call there were always men enough to man the bucket. Again and again the men were driven back to the fresh air and the heat of the boiler rooms, but only to return. At the entrance to the mine a great trial in the work of rescue, have been the wives and daughters of the men entombed. Beneath the rough exterior of the manager of the mine, according to the men who toll for him, there beats a tender heart, but work was to be done and as night crowded down over the hills and the women with sad eyes edged nearer to the edge of the hole he was forced to send them back. Then Selvln M. Taylor, with a hammer in his hand and his hair showing white under his dark hat, tapped the edge of the Iron cage twice and then gave the signal "down." "hree or four times the man. peering over tue edge of the shaft, signaled the engineer to stop, but finally the cage reached the bottom and the men clambered out Into the wrecked mine. The Allegheny Coal Company, which owns the Harwick mine, is a Cleveland concern. The company owns and operates 4,500 acres of land, all near Cheswick. It was incorporated in Pennsylvania May 20, 1901, with a capital stock of JtiOO.000, fully Issued, but none of Its authorized bond Issue of J200.UUO has yet been sold. The officers are: President, H. A. Hawgood; vice president, J. E. E. Terry; treasurer, Sheldon Parks; secretary, C. L. Terry. HOPE OF RESCUE WAS ABAXDOXED AT 2 :3o A. M. r PITTSBURG, Jan. 26, 2:30 a. m. There was great rejoicing among the crowd of about 700 or 800 who surrounded the mine at 12:15 this morning when the rescuers came to the surface and announced that from fifty to seventy-five miners had been found. Rescuer Wood said he had discovered the engineer in Room 8, near the south entrance, and with him the fifty or seventy-five others, all unconscious, but alive. The hopes of the crowd, however, were rudely shattered at 2:5 o'clock, when the body of Selwin Taylor was brought to the surface. He had evidently been dead for several hours and now hopes for the other Imprisoned men have been abandoned. The rescuers are being brought out coated with Ice, drenched to the skin and unable to walk. They report that the d ad are scattered one above the other as thi k as pine needles. Water is fast i" uiiir-r into the mine, covering the corpses with a shroud of Ice and making the work of rescue almost impossible. Afterdamp is colIt ( tiug in quantities. Dr. McCullough, of Cheswick. who had been in the mine for two hours, has just come to the surface, and told the Associated Press representative that In his opinion none of the miners who was in the shaft at the time of the explosion Is ailve. He thinks it will be several hours before any of the bodies can be brought to the surface. Selwin Taylor, who planned the Harwick mine aud acted as consulting engineer In Its opening, was born ia Pittsburg forty-seven years ago. He had a large experience In mine engineering anil had acquired a considerable cliental. At 3 o'clock physicians have g-.n,- to the bottom of the shaft to examine the flfty-rive miners there to determine whether if alive tiny are lu condition to bring to the open air. MRS.

IN SOUTHWEST AFRICA Unsuccessful Attempts to Relieve a Beleaguered Town Result in Their Repulse. CAUSE OF THE REVOLT

BERLIN, Jan. 25. An official dispatch from Windhoek. German Southwest Africa, says the Germans have lost heavily In unsuccessful attempts to relieve Okahandja, that five settlers and their entire families have been murdered and the Heroros are threatening Windhoek. A German patrol, which engaged the natives near Hope farm, lost a reserve officer. Von Boyson, one noncommissioned officer and six men killed. The garrison of Windhoek numbers 230 men, part of the force being horsemen, with the two machine guns. The last news from Windhoek was dated Jan. 17, but no news has been received from Okahandja since Jan. 12. The garrison of Windhoek was brought up to its present strength by enrolling all the settlers and Boers. The German government has given up the plan to organize an expedition of Germans in Cape Colony, as it Is estimated that they could not be assembled and dispatched earlier than the arrival of the reInfoi cements which have already embarked at Wilhelmshaven. Light has been thrown by the Frankfort Zeitung on some of the contributory causes of the Heroros rising in German Southwest Africa as a result of statements made to that paper by a traveler who has just returned from Windhoek and Okahandja. The merchants and the traders allied with them are charged with purposely Involving the natives In debt. According to this i traveler, the traders are mostly discharged i soldiers whom the merchants equip with wagons and from sixteen to twenty oxen and goods valued at thousands of marks. The traders sell at first entirely on credit. not requiring any cash until they make later trips. The improvident natives buy largely and repeatedly on these easy terms and the merchants favor the system by extending and renewing the credits of the traders, sometimes to 15.000 marks. The traders finally begin collecting portions of the debts, taking cattle in payment ana at the same time selling more goods on credit. The natives are often indebted to several traders at once. The Frankfort Zeltung's Informant adds that he found the merchants took an average of 70 per cent, profit on the transactions of the traders and the latter added 100 per cent., and usually made 20 per cent, more on the cattle which they took in payment. The traders further aroused the anger of the natives by seizing the latter's cattlo arbitrarily without waiting for legal procedure. ARREST OF FOUR CITY OFFICIALS WAS MADE Were Taken Into Custody on Indictments Returned by Grand Jury. (HUDEN BAY, Wis., Jan. 25,-Four arrests were made to-day as a result of the indictments returned by the grand Jury some time ago, as follows: Alderman A. L.

14 DEGREES BELOW ZERO PREDICTED FOR TO-DAY 1 1 ONCLI PED FROM FI RST PAGE ) behind their schedule time. Passenger ti attic Is very light at the present time and many people were not inconvenienced. No relief from existing conditions is promised by the weather bureau officials. Raging throughout the West and Northwest is the most severe blizzard known for years and it is headed for Indianapolis. It is predicted by the weather bureau that the temperature will drop to 14 degrees bolow zero within twenty-four hours with e'ear weather. That the cold wave will last several days is the prediction of the weather oureau. The officials can see no relief in sight before two or three days at the shortest and the zero weather may continue for a week. Officials of the Charity Organization Society are making every effort to prevent suffering by the poorer classes during the cold spell. All cases found will be promptly cared for and the workers of the society will spare no efforts to find and care for the poor who may 1 suffering from the intense cold. Despite the snowstorm which raged the greater part of yesterday and last night, delaying trains and mixing up the running schedule of the street cars, the two telephone companies and the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies had no line trouble reported to the Indianapolis offices at a late hour last night. All the lines were working and It is not believed they will be damaged any by the blizzard. Gangs of men will be held in readiness by the four companies to repair all breaks as fast as they may be reported. STREET CAR COMPANY. Every effort was made by the street car officials yesterday to keep the cars running as near regularly as possible. Sweepers were constantly going over the different lines In the city, but In spite of the efforts of the officials the running schedule was all mixed ud. On the North Illinoisstreet and Central-avenue lines, during the rush hours last night, the need of the "tripper" cars burned in the Are at the McLean Place stables early yesterday morning was especially felt. The officials of the road are hampered in their work by the constantly falling snow. At 6 o'clock yesterday morning the official thermometer at the weather bureau registered at 5 degrees above zero. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon it registered the highest for the day, 12 degrees above, and at 7 o'clock last night was at 10. Late last night the temperature began to rise, but It was thought to be the calm before the storm. CHIC AGO ANS SUFFERED; COLD IN NORTHWEST CHICAGO, Jan. 25. Piercing cold made the whole Northwest suffer to-day. The thermometer reached 15 below In Chicago. The record here is 23 below, and there ia some expectation that a new low point will be touched before the cold spell is ended. One man, frozen stiff, was found by pedestrians on an outlying part of Thirtysecond street. He had apparently struggled along until exhausted by the cold, he had dropped unconscious and literally frozen to death In his tracks in the snow. The unidentified corpse was taken to a morgue. There was countless instances of frozen ears and hands. Traffic was greatly hampered. The cold experienced to-day Is the most intense so far this winter In Chicago. Stretching to the northwest the mercury shows a swiftly descending scale, the minimum in the United States being at Bismarck and Willlston, in North Dakota, where the official figures are 34 below zero. The crest of the wave is, however, beyond the national boundary line, Minnedosa, N. W. T.. reporting 38 below. There are no telegraph stations Northward from Minnedosa. At Winnepeg a blizzard is raging. The coldest temperature noted in Duluth since Jan. 2, 18S7, when the thermometer registered 41 degrees below zero, prevailed yesterday, the lowest point recorded being 37 blow at 9 a. m. This morning it waa 32 below. At Ell It was 45 below. At Biwablck 42 was shown at 5 p. m. At St. Paul 30 degrees below zero was the official weather record to-day. Warmer weather is predicted for to-morrow. At Milwaukee the thermometer registered 23 degrees below zero. At La Cross, Wis.. the government thermometer registered 27 below, while private thermometers registerd from 32 to 36. At Racine the weather mis morning is ine coieust in tnirty years, the thermometer standing at 26 below zero. Northwestern Missouri and northern and western Kansas experienced the coldest weather of the season to-day. with a still further fall in - temperature predicted tonight. In the northwestern portion of Missouri the temperature at 8 o'clock this morning averaged 10 degrees below zero. In Central Kansas lt was 4 degrees above zero. Extreme cold continued throughout Nebraska anel western Iowa, the minimum temperature being 17 below and the maximum for the past twenty-four hours 7 below zero. Both the Mississippi and the Des Moines rivers at Keokuk, Ia.. are dosed, frozen almost solid The thermometer is 8 below and falling. There Is no further danger from high water until the next thaw. Farms in the bottoms are surrounded by frozen lakes. All rivers and creeks are bank full and frozen tight. Much danger is expected when the ice breaks in the spring. Flood conditions are expected to be more serious than last summer. The temperature in central Illinois early to-day register' d 12 below zero, the coldest of the season. Dispatches from Michigan report extreme cold everywhere. At St. Louis. Mich., the thermometer registered 26 degrees below zero, at Marine City 16 below, at Bay City IS below and at Detroit 6 below. The cold wave has effectually checked the destructive floods throughout northern and central Ohio. The Weather Bureau thermometer at Cleveland registered 4 below zero to-day. At Toledo the cold weather caused the rnning ice to gorge again yesterday at the mouth of the river. Much heavy ice came down, which froze as soon as it stopped running. The water slowly began to back up, but soon began to recede, and to-day it was nine Inches below the 2 a. m. mark. WESTERN INDIANA IS UXDER HEAVY SXOIl Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Three Killed and Eleven Injured in a Wreck on the Burlington Road.

BRIDGE DEBRIS BURNED ST. LOUIS. Jan. 2t. The Denver express, on the main line of the Burlington road, due here at 6:35 o'clock last night, was run into from the rear by a local passenger train while taking water at Gardeen creek, about forty miles north of here, last night, and three passengers were killed, four seriously injured, and seven badly hurt. The wreck occurred on a bridge over Gardeen creek. The bridge and two cars of the local train and the local engine were burned. The express train was running behind time because of the blizzard weather, and had stoped at a tank, just after clearing the bridge, to take water. Suddenly, without warning, the local train crashed into the rear of the express train. The light passenger cars of the local train were badly demolished, and the bridge was rilled with debris, which took fire. Word reached St. Charles, eight miles distant, and assistance was immediately sent from there, and a wrecking train was dispatched from here, followed by a relief train with physicians. At 12:30 o'clock a. m., a train was expected In over the Missouri, Kan?as & Texas road beariug the dead aud injured, and two ambulances were ordered to the union station in readiness. But apparently the train was snow-bound, for at 1 o'clock, it had not arrived, and no defluite information of names of the dead and injured could be secured until the train came in. A long distance telephone message from St. Charles at midnight was to the effect that the rear sleeper of the Denver express stood on the bridge when the collision occurred The sleeper was badly smashed, but not demolished. The locomotive of tiie local train was crushed and set fire to the bridge and the structure and two cars of the local train were burned. The express train managed to draw the damaged sleeper away from the flames. It Is presumed the casualties occurred in the local train, but how many were hurt in the sleeper is not known. It is stated that the trainmen escaped by jumping, but that the local fireman was badly injured. Because of the burned bridge traffic Is suspended until a temporary structure can be erected. The local train was the Hannibal accommodation, due at St. Louis at 8:20 o'clock, and was rtinning almost on time, at a speed of twenty miles an hour. At 2:05 o'clock the relief train had not arrived, but was making its way slowly over the track and in the face of a blinding snowstorm. Contrary to eariier reports, it was then stated that several trainmen were hurt. Engineer John Nunns, of the accommodation train, stuck to his post, and it is believed he Is under the debris, as he cannot be found. Accommodation Conductor B. L McKay Is reported seriously injured and Firtman Frank Heit aud Baggageman Willet were scalded by escaping steam. FLOOD IS SUBSIDING SLOWLY ALOXG THE OHIO Yards and Lav. .s Covered with Great Cakes of Ice and Damage to Boats. WHEELING, W. Va., Jan. 25. The flood is receding very slowly and the disappearing water has left the inundated district in cold storage. The swift current deposited large cakes of ice on all the thoroughfares and in yards and lawns, and in some plaices it Is piled up to the height of several feet. Ice has also formed in the residences that were invaded by the water and every home is an embryo icehouse. At Moundsviile this afternoon Victor Cox, the young son of a prominent banker, was skating on the frozen surface of back water, when lt broke and he went through and was drowned before assistance could reach him. The damage to river craft and industrial plants is as great as that caused by the flood of 1&4. ALLEX WAS SHOT BY HIS OWX WIFE He Lied to the Police in Order to Shield His Better Half. Mrs. James Allen, the wife of the negro living at 1426 North Missouri street who was mysteriously shot in the left hip night before last by a supposed hold-up man, was arrested late last night and slated at the police station for shooting her husband. It was learned last night that the negro lied about being held up by two white men and an investigation led to the discovery that the shooting was done by Mrs. Allen. The husband and wife had a quarrel and the wife shot him with a revolver. Allen lied to the police to shield hi. wife. IX ST IT UTE IX SESSION.
