A-kaum, Kas, July. 25. The pre
liminary bearing of June Brennan,
th murderer of Colonel Sam A'ood,
m bald at Hugo ton before three jus
Uosoef the peace. A large delegation
of Oolooel Wood's frieada armed to the
teeth, were in town. Bat the people of
Stereo county bare a way of doing
.Lings, judicial and otherwise, which
improness the tenderfoot of the east
with iU effectiveness. When the case
was about to be called three men armed
with Winchester rifles were stationed
at the door of the schoolhouse, where
the bearing was conducted, and each
tan as he entered was disarmed. On
the inside of the court room three men
armed with Winchesters were on guard.
The precaution taken precluded the
possibility of trouble and no demonstra
tions of any kind were made.
The coroner, Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Car
penter were the only witnesses called
by the state. The defense introduced
00 evidence.
Attorney General Ives objected to the
official stenographer for the Twenty
third judicial district taking the evi
dence. He said that be wanted tlie
evidence in longhand, but his real ol
lection was probably that he thought
the stenographer was too near J udgs
Botkina.
Mrs. Wood's evidence was a reitera
tion of her published accounts ct the
killing.
Mrs. Carpenter corroborated Mrs.
Wood in that Brennan had been stand
ing in the vestibule of the church and
waited there several minutes before
Wood came out. She also stated thai
Brennan, when he followed Wood
around the church, had a revolver in
each band. Her testimony did not al
together agree with her statement be
(ore the coroner's jury.
After the hearing of the evidence the
justices . were "only a few min
utes in arriving at their decision
Brennan was held to the district court
without bail. His trial will take place
in September. Brennan was taken to
Hutchinson.
1 The question of securing a jury in
Stephens county is the great problem
in the Brennan trial now. There are
teat than three hundred men eligible to
jury service in the county. Under the
Kansas law a juryman must neither
have formed nor expreesed an opinion
It will be a simple matter for the de
fense to have every man in the county
interviewed and get an expression of
some kind from him which will render
him ineligible.

Kwoxvnxn, Tb)x., July 25. The
miners' committee left Knoxvilie for
Coal Creek with the decision of the
governor that the convicts
were allowed to be placed in the
mines which they had been evicted by
the miners, the militia would be with
drawn and the legislature would be con.
vended in extra session for the purpose
of taking such action as it saw fit on the
convict action.
Ceal Creek was reached at 11 o'clock
a. m., and when the miners' committee
and the Associated press correspondent
topped from the train a thousand min
ers were assembled to meet then. As
soon as the committee alighted from
the train a loud voice was heard., AH
miners to the bia Th big grove
van ah-iut a Bail tram the station and
thither the large ' crowd rapidly made
tsw7-
I A fde platform was hastily con
structed and upon it was placed the
eomsvittee and Hon. J. C. Williams,
who represented the Knoxvilie arbitra-
tion committee. The crowd was called
to order by a miner, and two spokesmen
at the committee related the incidents
of their trip to meet the governor, how
be received them and his decision. They
stated that the committee had teceived
eooceanooj and that in ther minds
the committee ought to grant some.
I This did not meet with anything like
universal satisfaction, but the implicit
confidence the miners have in their
leaders was shown by the unanimous
vote to accept the report of a committee
on resolutions which had been appoint
ed and which had been in session whils
the speaker were being heard.
The gist of the resolutions was that
theoonvicta should be returned, the
miners guaranteeing that they would
not be molested. The militia will be
ordered home. Six days will be allowed
to ooaveae the legislature, during which
time no conricts shall be molested and
no property shall be destroyed and the
miners, if necessary, will place guards
to see that the promises are kept good.
The miners' committee returned to

The tten Tamers' C-ofeeioa
Niw Haves, Coss., July 30. his
death bed Frank L Frayne, the lion
timer and actor, made a confession re
lating U the identity of tbe young' man
hitherto kuown as bis son, Frank I
Frayne, jr. He explained thai twenty
one years ago Mr. aad Mrs. McCormick
of Baltimore we'e visiting in Chicago,
accompanied by their two children a
tfirl aged ten years and a boy aged two
years. During the visit Mr. McCor
mick was attacked with paralyei oo
the street and shortly afterward died.
In order to have the baby provided foi
during the time of the mouruiog and
until the widow could make arrange
ments to return to Baltimore, the child
was left in a convent at Cbigago in care
of the mother superior. Within a week
or two Mrs. McCormick aleo died, leav
ing the little daughter almost friend
less. Almost on the same day that the
mother died the great Chic go fire be
gan, and during that the convent at
which the little boy was left burned
down. Its inmates were scattered all
over the city. Toe little girl was sent
back to friends in Baltimore after a
time by the Chiea.o authorities; but
the ooy, George, hud disappeared, as
they finally believed, forever. Every
effort to find him failed.
In the meantime the mother superior
had taken the boy to a private house in
the suburbs of Chicago, where he hap
pened to catch the eve of the original
Frank I. F.ayne. She lion tamer want
ed the boy to use la sensational parts of
bis ulays, end learning the name cf his
mother he sent his wife with a forged
letter purporting to be from Mrs Mc-
Cormick, asking the nun to give the
boy to her. The boy was given up to
ber and soon afterward Frayee left the
city having adopted the boy as his own.
The boy always supposed himself to be
the r child, having been kown as Frank
L Frayne, jr. The who be suppesed to
be his mother soan became estranged
from her husband and died in Uter
years, The youth bad a large monu
ment erected over her grave, with the
following inscription: "Deserted by all
but her loving son."
The original Frayne soon married
ag-ic and until he was dying his second
wife supposed Frank w as bis son. On
his death bed overcome by remorse, the
actor told her the sreret and made Ler
swear to restore the boy to his real fam
ily. Mrs. Frayne faithfully carried out
his instructions. She advertised exten
sively and employed detectives by the
sccre. The McVormick sister married a
Mr. Gannon, a wealthy merchant of
Oskoah, Wis. She always sought for
tidings of her lost brother. One day re
cently (he discovered one of Mrs.
Fravne's paragraphs and at once sought
tbe widow, who told her that her broth
er, who was known as Frank I. Frayne
was staying at Silver Sands, New Haven
in the cottage of Jason, tbe theatrical
manager.
OnThuradiy Mrs. Gunnon reached
Silver Sands, and young Frayne for the
liret time knew that ho was not Frank
Frayne, but George McCormick, and that
be had a sister. The meeting was sen
sational and touching.
Clean Will Kill Him.
Bczzard Bat, Mass., July 30. There
is a well authenticated rumor floating
about this town that Edwin Booth is
dying from the effects of too much
smoking. He.ia anreh a clave to the
weed tbt he cannot stop smoking, even
Urdugh he knows it is killing him. Its
effect upon his health is just as fatal,
though uot of tbe same character, as
that which ended the life of General
Grant. Joe Jefferson and ex-President
and Mrs. Cleveland have been striving
to reform Mr. Beeth in this respect,
and for a while they partially. succeeded
but the habit bad teo strong a hold up
on him and his indulgences became
more unrestrained than ever. It is be
cause this relepee, and because he
knows he cannot get better in health,
that be left here suddenlv lost Satur
day. He has gone to Narraganset Pier.

which occurred at Grafton. Three
brothers named Murphy, well-to-d far.

and before tbe men could be asperated
all were bleeding profusely, while Mc

limbs. One pile of charred limbs and
h.iman cinders is especially conspicuous,
smustmi: of a msssof unidentitiel and
unconnected bodies placed in aheap.
tu n;nrii r,t i ha victims were wo-
nun and children. The wrecked csr
uugei consisted of one first cle, two
second clats and a guards van. The
firbt was completely shattered. The
work of rescue proceeded slowly during
the night until dawn, l'eopie vteo ua

friendi who bad cot returned from the
fete at daybreak. There were 20,000
r eisons around the station, and the
s-;hool room and to vn ball where tbe
bodies of the tl'esd were lying were be
siege 1 by distracted people.
Inside there was a constant succes.
sion of heart rending screams as in tbe
dim light afforded by the lamps identitt

suddenly came upon the bodies of bis
wife and daughter. His cries attracted

hoanitul dying. Most of the bodies in
the town hall were scorched beyond

ers ta co to the rescue were the fire
brigade of Vicennes and the soldiers ia
the vicinity.
An investigation shows the second
train left Vrcenoea at ths regulation
interval of l.fteen minutes after the
fiist train. The first train was delayed
al St. Mande owing to an enormous
crowd of eicuisionisU. The station
ui utter at V.tioenues blames the driver
of the second 'rain for the accident.
When this train was started the sta
tion master advised tbe driver to go
alow ly, as there was a train in front of
him, but the man paid no heed to tbe
advice and went ahead at full speed.
This driver at first alleged that ail sig
nals indicated that the line was clear,
but an inquiry conirunxi tbe report of
officials at bt. Mande and Vicennes
that danger signals were shown.
Leading officials of the railway blames
the public for crowding into tbe rear
van, which he says was intended to re
main empty. Tbe greatest number of
dead were found beneath the ruins of
ths van. From the force of the col
lision the engine mounted to the top of
the rear van crushing it to fragments.
Ao official statonient gives the number
of dead at forty-f jur, and the injuied at

Le Paris slates that an investigation

NaI'Lks, July 27. A moet extraordin
ary cane, involving the walling up of a
number of nuns, hag just been infinitely
decided by tlie civil authorities of Na
ples. Considerable excitement, it will
be romembsred, was caused sometime
ago by the announcement that the au
thorities of Naples had discovered a
number of nuns, immured in a convent,
where they had been condemned to life
long imprisonment, the building being
literally walled up in order to insure
absolute seclusion from tbe ouUide
world. 'J be convent was therefore des
ignated us "sepalete vive," or buried
alive. The authorities reported that
ins unroriunate inmates ware in Ad
dition bordering on destitution which
was injurious both to body and mnd
lhe clerical newspapers, however in
sisted that these reports weregroaslv
exaggerated, but the authorities ooniid
ered tbemselves juitified in compelling
the nuns to quit living in graves and
go io mors suitable habitationa. The
iwpaaieu, eventually commanded tin,

Jf ""y 'ere removed to one of
the ordinary convents of Naples, and the
place was handed over to the munici
pality. Thus far the above facte bare
been known for some time, but quite re
cently a Diritto reporter visited the liv
ing tomb just vacated by tbe unfortu
nate nuns, and he gives tbe foilowica
account of what he saw:
He describes ths building aa "consist
