The senator takes all of the praise and con gratnlations that are being it, 8. quay. showered upon him with his usual stoicism, and, so far as outward appearances go, his de meanor is just the same as when the fight seemed going against him. The convention, which started out with every promise of beiug oue of the most exciting ever known to the state, developed into a "love feast" and wound up about as tamely as any ever seen here.

The supreme court today handed down a decision re inanding ex-State Treasurer Taylor to the sheriff, who will leave with him for the penitentiary tonight.

The court holds that the lower court did not ex ceed its jurisdiction, that after Taylor has served two years he can test the validity cf the 5-year sentence. The opinion was given by Judge Corson. Judge Kellain concurred by reason of the weight of authorities making it a rule to correct the decisions of the lower court rather than to annul them, in or der to prevent the failure of justice.

DKOWiSIiiD II A JlIINE. -: THIRTEEN MEN LOSE THEIR LIVES IN OtrMlHAL lITY PITS. efforts at Rescue Were Unavailing, Owing to the Rapidly Rising- Water aad Gas. Accident the Resale of Water Breakiaa; Ia From an Adjoining: Abandoned Mine. ! Central Orv, Colo., Aug. 81. t Twenty-nine men were, working in the Sleepy Hollow and Americas mines ! when last night's flood disaster occurred. ' All who escaped were engaged at points ! above the line" of the break. All below ' at the time wore almost instantly sub ' Merged, and their bodies must lie there for weeks. The names of the dead are: Olivia Patxosteb. aged 35; married. Amu Apancini, aged 47; married. N. Vegas, single. C. CnosKEXBACK, single. Nazzarino Maraota, married. William Prisk, aged 17; single. William Thomas, married. O. Bcouse, married. Thomas Williams, married. TnoMAS CALBIS, married. J. Harris, single. Steve Vallero, aged to ; single J. PERKI, single. Martin Racoxa, married. The. calamity is one which had not been unexpected. The workings of mines are so situated that Gregory, Bob Tail and the Fiske have been forced to combat a strong flow of water, tne pumping of which by them left the Sleepy Hollow and Americus practically dry. I When the Fiske owners failed to ar J range satisfactorily with their neighbors to meet a share of the pumping expenses they allowed the water to raise in the lower works, and this- large reservoir" stood above the workings of the adjoin ing mines, a constant menace to those working beneath. The Sleepy Hollow, Americus and Fiske are on the same vein of ore. The first two are connected by drifts at the 400 foot level; the Americus and Fisko are separated by a wall of ore standing iu the vein at the joint end Hues. So much greater is the system of underground workings in the Fiske than those of its end line neigh bors that the rush of water from the three levels above the point of the break was quite sufficient to fill the entire workings of tho two. The Americus filled first below the 400 foot level, and it was no appreciable tinio before water was pouring from it into the Sleepy Hol low through the air tunnel connection on the level where the break occurred.

The reports are dated Aug-. 23. The district attorney for Wyoming reports as follows: "I have no donbt whatever that the killing of the Iudian Tanega on or about the 13th of July was an atrocious, out rageous and cold blooded murder; and it was a murder perpetrated on the part of Constable Manning and his deputies in pursuanco of a scheme and conspir acy on their part to prevent the Indians from exercising a right and privilege, which is, in my opinion, very clearly guaranteed to them by the treaty be fore mentioned. Should the prosecu tion on the part of the-United States be determined upon it would be useless to commence it before a commissioner." The district attorney has been advised that the department concurs with him in the opinion that there is no federal statute under which tho offenders can be puuishedU THE NEW IRISH MOVEMENT, Call For X.:uial Convention to Sleet at CliTctgo Sept. 24 to 2d.
