A Scoop For Gould.
Denver, ColM April 28.—The elec
tion of 8. H. H. Clark as president of
the Union Paoiflo Railway Company
yesterday is a complete surprise to
everybody in railway circles in Denver.
It is the absorbing talk of the day and
was entirety unexpected and is con-
sidered a clear “scoop” for Gould. Iu
this connection the next matter of im-
portance is who will succeed Clai k as
general monager. Mr. Dicken-
son is now the assistant gen-
eral manager and the opinion is dif-
ferent as to whether he or Mr.
Smith, ex-general manager of the Rio
Grande, will be the next general mana-
ger. Mr. Smith is an old Union Pacific
man and was connected with the Gould
management for a number of years.
He and Clark have been friends for
twenty years and Gould thinks a great
deal of Mr. Smith as a railroad manar
ger. He gave him an elegant offer
when he resigned the managership of
the Rio Grande. Mr. Smith, however,
told him that he needed a restand
would not do any railroading
for one year. On the other hand
Mr. Dickinson has been with
the Union Pacific for many years and
is very familiar with the system, and
he and Mr. Smith have been associated
ou the lino and are very good friends.
Assistant General Manager Dickinson,
who arrived here today, is of the
opinion that Mr. Clark will act as gen-
eral manager with the presidency.
Lumber Mill* Shut Down.
La Crosse, Wis., April 28.—Every
lumber mill in the La Crosse district
shut down today to so remain until the
labor troubles are settled. Two thou-

E- Sunby, a blaoksmi
Lake Manitoba who was journeying
there was fonnd near Reaburn20 miles
in trying to navigate the streets. It
waffImpossible td fee two feet ahead
on the prairie. Pear is felt for the
safety of vessels on Lake Superior.
Before the storm broke out in Its awful
fury one vessel was seen twenty miles
out unable to make the harbor on ac-
count of the ice. It is believed that
the vossel could not have possibly
weathered the storm. A dispatch from
St. ViDcen*, Minn., says: The worst
blizzard for years, accompanied by
snow and frost, has just blown over.
The waves on the Red river were fifteen
feet high.
A Mine Accident
Somerset, Pann,, April 28.—The
shaft at Hugus coal mine one mile
south of here caught fire this morning
and entombed four miners who were at
work. Fortunately the smoke did pot
reach the bottom of the shaft and after
the flames had been extinguished the
men were rescued. The fire caused
great excitement.
As tor’s Funeral.
Paris,April 28.—The funeral of Wm,
at the Amer-
Astor took place today at the Amer-
ican Episcopal Church in the Avenue
L’De Alma. The services were strict-
ly private. Mrs. Astor and her two
daughters, Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton
and Mrs. Orme and three of their
friends were present. Mrs. Drayton
will accompany her mother on the
steamer “La Bourgarue” which will
convey the remains of Mr. Astor to
New York.
TheUnloaded Pistol Again.
Kens as City, April 28—Floyd Nichole
aged 14, was shot and killed by his 13-
year-old cousin Charlie Wilderwood in
Armourdale today. The boys were
playing highwaymen when Charles
snapped a revolver that he supposed
was not loaded at his cousin. The re-
volver was loaded and the ball passed
into Nichols brain killing him almost
instantly.
The Fire Fiend.
Milwaukee, Wis., April 28.— A
special to the Wisconsin from West
Superior, Wis , says a two story build-
ing owned by N. M. Bedford and oc
was worsted. Both parties went home.
Porter soon returned armed and start-
ed to go to Page’s saloon. Page step-
ped to the door and commenced firing.
Porter returned his shots. Page was
shot in the mouth. The wound is not
considered dangerous. Porter was
shot in his left side. Bullet not locat-

LuwleaftneM in Wyoming.
Cheyenne, April 28.—Governor Bar-
ber’s reply to the demand of the dep-
uty sheriff of Johnson county for the
prisoners at Fort Russell will not be
ready until late tonight. He will de-
cline to turn over the prisoners at
thty time. Matters will remain in
statu quo until information
against the stockmen is filed by Prose-
cuting Attorney Bennett. The attor-
neys for defendants will then apply to
Judge Blake for a change of venue on
the ground of the excitement that, pre-
vails in Johnson connty. Reports
from that locality indicate a lawless
condition of affairs. Two newspapers
which are opposed to the rustlers have
been suspended.
A Severe Storm.

from Winnepeg, Man., says: Reports
of the terrible storm are just coming

Northby had an arm broken and re-
ceived severe burns and a child of Paul
Drinkwine was fatally injured. Loss

The Senate.
Washington, April 28.—The resolu-
tions offered on the 13th of April by
Mr. Jones of Arkansas, for the pay-
ment to the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations for their interest in the lands
in the Indian territory (the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reservations), was laid
before the senate and Mr. Allison took
the floor to speak against it.
Mr. Anderson said that if this sum
were paid it would make a precedent
for the payment of a further sum of
seven millions. What he thought,
therefore, ought to be done was to re-
commit the whole subject to the
committee on Indian affairs, and he
would make the motion at the close of
the debate. He read an extract
from the president’s commnnication
on the subject to the effect that be had
felt bound to look into the whole mat-
ter and to postpone executive action
until further consideration of the ques-
tion, the president’s first objection be-
ing the fourth of the sum was to go to
three men as attorneys.

number of customers dwindled. The
Republicans steadfastly refused to pat-
ronize and allow the trading to be done
