inammoth m'nlng corrvnuics , which havn
millions of backing and already have control
of two groups of claims In the newly opened

the men making up the- companies are con
nected with the meat packing business ot
Chicago , On aha and Milwaukee.
U Is scarcely two months since J. D. Ilardln
and associates purchased a group of claims
In the Two Hit gulch. Since thut time a
shaft has been pushed through the vein of
slllclous ore , which Is found to bo twenty-
two feet thick and very rich. Last week
when J. D. Ilardln callwl his friends together
In the parlor of the Great Northern hotel In
Chicago and explained the various forma
tions of his in'iio ' and his future tlana It did
not require three-quarters of an hour for him
to sell all ot the stock that he had nnd as a
result the two companion , the Chicago and
Two lilt Mining company nd the Orojt
Northern Mining company , were oiganlzed
with a capital slock of $1,000,000 each. Ikth
companies own property joining the Ilardln
property
A .0,000 order was Immediately placed
with C'h'cagn machine men for a couiileto
outfit for preliminary work , which will been
on the grounds this week. The prlncloil
members of the company will meet In IJca 1-
vvnod this week for the purpose of electing
officers This Is considered one of the hrg-
tst mining deals In the history of the Hills
nnd It w'll ' nave a great deal-to do with the
further open'og of this m.w and rich dis

"Woilc In developing the new mines has
commenced Shaft sinking has been begun
nnd It will bo prosecuted with all expedition
until we have got down 200 to 2.10 feet , when
good twylng ore will bo found Wo have
every reason to think that the Two Hit and
the Great Northern will vnn out as well as
the Ilardln mine , In which thcro Is now
$1,500,000 ot loose ore lying about ready to be
smelted. Till * men who are associated with
mo in my mine are else concerned In the
companies formed In Chicago. Wo also own
the townslto of Two lilt , which Is a growing
town , only three miles from Deadwood. We
nuo about to begin the construction of the

-what the monejed men who are backing the
Investments expect to get In return. "

NEW YORK , Oct. 27. The Hcrn'tl and
\Vorld this morning quote Clmunccy M. j
Dcpcw , president of the New York Central
railroad , as saying that the wreck nt Harri
son's la t SunOay was caused by a djna-
mlto explosion.
"Any cnc who Is ftrnll tr with inl'ronlln ' ? . " |
said Mr. Ucpew , "knows that the continual j
pounding of tralrs o\cr a roadbed his the
effect of beating It dov. n until It Is Ilko a
rock. That roadbed has been In USB for forty
| jcars , and the fact that It wcs HKo a rock
Is shown by the fact that Immediate' } ' after
the wreck , before the workmen had filled In
'
any , the break showed a clcancut perpendicu
lar cleavage.
"Tho popular notion that this was duo to a
Icndslldc Is not borne out by this. When
there Is a landslide , the bank takes the
shape of an Inclined p'nnc The fact that
this was found as It v.as shows that the
break must have been formed In an unusual
way. The only thing that could have done
It would have been a stick of dynamite
'rammed down In the roadbed. That would
have done It
"I do not say tint wo hnvo any evidence
tint such was the cane , but when I sent
word to our detective , Mr. Ilumpnrojs. to
make Investigations along that line , he told
me that he had reasons to suspect something
of that sort before So I ordered that a
thorough Investigation bo made
"You must Lear In mind that an hour before -
fore this wicck another ami hea\lcr train
passed over the road In safety ; that thirty
minutes before that a train went tip on the
other track and noticed nothing wrong , and
that nobody heard any toport. Whatever
caused the accident. It Is certain that the
cnglno went c'ear over the obstiuctlon and
was Injured after It left the track. "
This \Ievv was corroborated later by a
special engineer , who had como with the
party. Ho examined the cngr c and found
tint all ItB Injuries arc what arc considered
superficial among railroad men Neither the
main nor bide rods were broken , and the
; > ilot wr.s practically Intact , showing , Supei-t
Intendcnt McCoy declared , that the engine
liad only been Injured in rolling down the
embankment after It left the Hack
COLD SPRINGS , N Y , Oct 27. President
[ Jepew's opinion that the disaster of last
Sunday morning on the New York Central
allway was the res > ult of a djnamlte ex
plosion planned by enemies of the corpcia-
tlon finds many upholders among railway
olllclals and citizens familiar with the con
ditions
"I'f ' the embankment was torn up by
djramlto the motive was not robbery , but
revenge , " was the statement made by one
olllclal of the read today. "When the party
of tw only-sK luidmasters or the New York
Central sjstem ar'lved at the scene caily
Monday morning and commenced a critical
survey of the section of the embankment
which had been either washed or blown
out , one of the rcadmisters , a man who had
great experience In the use of dynamite , said
the excavation looked to him very much like
the -work of d > namlte The tendency of
dynamite Is to blast downward , rather than
upward or outward , and one of the most
expert track builders of the rallrcad
says a very light chaige of
dynamite would have collapsed a section of
track fully as extensive ab the section In
question. It is known that the engineer
shut off steam and applied the air brake be
fore the crash came and these circumstances
lead the olllclals to the bollrf tint engineer
Tolle taw that something was wrong with
the tiack In time t apply the air before
bo went into the rhcr with hlengine. > . Still
It is admitted ho would have Instantly
applied the brakes the moment he felt his
engine sinking , "
The Associated Press representative was
Informed this morning by a gentleman who
travels from Garrisons to New York eveiy
morning that three weeks ago this same
tialn hid a narrow escape from being
wicckcd at a point about two miles south
of the spot where It finally met its fate.
A huqe boulder weighing two tcn-- > was disc -
c vered on the tiack just in time for the
trair. to bo stoppe' . "I mads the remark
fiat morning tl at I believed some one put
that stone there and I still think so , " said
this g .tleman "The boulder must hu\o
fallen from the top of the mountain , for
It cleared the inland track In Its fall and
landed squarely on the down track. It looks
to me as though s-me one bears a grudge
against the railroad company. "

A husband and wife , who , however , have
been separated by a demo of divorce , were
arrajod against each olhcr In Iho criminal
couit room before Judge ' Hakcr jester-
day over a 13-yeir-old 'son. Mrs Georglna
McCowIn made applltailon that their son ,
Harry , be sent to the r&form school. The
child had been placed In her custody by the
court at the time she secured the divorce
from her husband Thp lather of the boy ,
Lcn McCDvvln , rcslsled < hd application. The
l y was the orlnclpil witness In the case.
Ho admitted that he had frequently run
away from home , on ode occasion being for
four weeks In Sioux City , where he was
sheltered at the polloe station Ho said ,
however , that he had bccfl dtlven away by
the undeserved abuse of his uncle , but ho' '
afterward confessed thdt ) io had run awny |
after his uncle had left home. He admitted
that any cJiastlscmentl his mother might
have given him was deserved. The boy ,
however , apparently deslreil to go to his
father.
"Have I ever abused you ? " asked the
mother.
"Yes , jou have mamma , " began the lad
with sobs , but Judge IJakcr cut oft the Im
pending scene.
After the testimony was In the father ,
through his attorney , offered to glvo proper
care to Iho child nnd see that he received
an education If ho was given Into his charge
under bond. Judge Hakor would not counte
nance any such plan , however , saying that
| i everything showed that Ihe molher had
properly cared fjr the boy and that there

There was a very Interesting patty of
Chinamen , directly from their native coun
try and bound for Cuba , passed thiough
Omaha Tuesday , and spent yesterday morning
at 'the Union Pacific tiansfer at Council
Mltiffs. They were a dozen In number , and
they were constantly watched by two armed
guards in order that they might not be al
lowed to suddenly leave find take up their
residence In this country.
All of the twelve Chinamen hive promise
ot work when they arrive in Cuba. Two of
them are lo conduct stores there , two arc
to assist In these stores , two are to run res
taurants , two arc cooks and four arc mere
coollca The part > occupies a tourist car of
the Southern Pacific railroad , which company
uifi given a bond for the safe transportation
of thu Chinamen across the country and theh
exportation to Cuba. The celestials are
guardel bj n H. McCord , city passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific at San Fran
cisco , and L. U. Owens , general advciUsing
agent of the same railroad. If the twelve
men arrive In New- York and are shipped
out of the country all right McCord Is to
secure from the officers of the Treasury de
partment , in Washington tils release from the
bond. As a number of Chinamen have et-
capcd from &uch parties within the last few
jcars the government officials Insist that
the most s'tringent regulations be observed.
This Is'the ) first time In a long tthUo that
a party of Chinamen In bond have gone
through Omaha. They usually go through
via the southern route ; , and It Is In the
neighborhood of New Orleans that they
usually have made their escape The jellnw
fovar plague in the s > a\ith caused them to
bo shipped via Omaha till" time. The car
came in on the Union ,1'aclflc's train No 2
Tuesday night and went eastward over the
Ml'waukce jesterday at 11 o'clock. Prom
Chicago to New York their route will bo via
the Pennsylvania lines.

A striUo is on again at the exposition
grounds. This time it Is the carpeutcrs workIng -
Ing foGoldle & Sous.Thlrtjsix of them
walked out jesterday. Tno trouble Is due
to the refusal of the contractors to con
form to the rules of oig'inl e'd labor. When
the btrlke was on before these contractors
promised that when the other contractors
adopted those rules that they would fall in
Strehlow accepted the terms of the union
and the carpenters supposed that Goldle &
Sons weald also do the Eanie. Thej have
waited till the present time without securing
that concession from the contractors and the
vva kout jcstcrday wcs the result.
It Is said that Goldie & Sons now take the
position that the union should dlscioliiic the
OmaLa contractors first. That refers to
Hamilton Hros and Parish. The foimer aa >
only working a feA men at present , as tlielt
matcilal Is not all here , and Paiiish has not
jet begun work on his contract The union
men ray that Hamilton Ilros. have given it
out that thuy will not adopt the unlcn rnios
and that they will make the light to the
finish. As Goldle d Sana secnl to stand be
hind these contractois In their position no1
to give In I'll ' the Omaha men set the ex
ample , the carpenters concluded that the
contest might aa well bo resumed now M
later and the strike was ordcicd. Oeilj
tinco men went to work on the Goldlo con-
tiact In the afternoon.

Judge Dickinson , then considered the su
ptoino court decision , which declared that
the provision In the now charter which ex
tended the term of police judge to three
jears was line n"tltutlonal This decision
was based on the constitutional provision
which fixed tl e term at two jears Hut Judge
Dickinson declared that it In no way changed
the chatter section which provided for the
dcctlon of police judge at the tegular spring
election Thus , under the statutes and the
charter , Juclgo Dickinson hold that n police
juclgo could be elected only at the logulai
spring election pieccding the tci initiation cf
the term , and at no otl or tlmo
Judge Dickinson then also declared that
Judge Gordon must succeed hlnuclf Hi
said that Gordon's term expire ! on the com
