A mile further east the residence of Mr. Murdoch Melver, the brickwork hav- ing‘ just been completed, was also badly wrecked, the east wall being blown in. The storm only lasted for a few minutes.

From this eerie they had seen the three men approaching on that Christmas morning, and had sallied forth and murdered them). The bodies were stripped and thrown in- to a part of the river where it was open, disappearing under the ice, to be discovered, ghastly and grim, many months afterward, when the spring floods began their revelations. But the officers had not waited for this evidence to take action. In the abandoned tent was an ordinary Yukon stove, but an alteration had been made on it that singled it out from all others. That stove had been seen in the possession of two men named O'Brien and Graves. CORPORAL'S SHARP EYE. Corporal Ryan had got down the trail a good many miles when his 'sharp eyes observed the traces of a. trail running away from the main traveled road, apparently into the bush. Snow had fallen upon it, and the inexperienced eye would have deâ€" teCted nothing to distinguish it from the general expansion of the snowâ€" covered wilderness. But the con- stable espied two faint parallel de- pressions on the white surface. and he wondered what could have inducâ€" ed anyone to make such a departure from the mainâ€"traveled road. He deâ€" termined to follow it. and it is due to this determination on his part Ithat a blackâ€"hearted scoundrel was Ibrought to the gallows. Six hunâ€" dred yards from the main road he found hidden in the dense scrub a tent. No one was about it, but it looked as if the owner might be back any moment. It had evidently been occupied by two persons, for there was a double bunk and a dup- licate supply of table utensils of the Yukon traveler. The constable wait- ed over night, in the hope that the owners would turn up. but soon con- cluded that the place had been aban- doned. He reported to his com- rades, and Constable Pennycuick and Detective Maguire, also of the Mounted Police, were detailed to look into the matter. The manner in which these men wrung her secret from the bosom of the desert forms a really marvellous chapter in the records of crime. They spent weeks in the neighborhood of the tent, and along the private trail which had served as a key to the Whole black mystery. They literally sifted the snow inch by inch. and from many. mute things they read the story. iThey found the three patches of blood where the victims had given up their lives. not without a strug- gle on the part of Olcson at least. They found the discarded shells of the cartridges by which the deed had been done. They found a bonfire near the tent, in which their cloth- ing had been burned to prevent iden- tification. But from the ashes were picked out buttons, buckles, etc., which were identified. After the ash- es had coo\led, the murderers had evi- dently gathered the larger articles that would not burn and thro&n them into the surrounding scrub. But the patient officers found many of themâ€"Clayson’s Yale keys, which were found to fit the drawers to which they belonged, an electric belt which Oleson was known to wear, al- so his files and pliers.

OFFICERS AND MEN SHOT. The steel people have nothing to say but point, to the mills at Work, and the product; turned out. Acâ€" tions, they say, speak louder than Words. ellective work. rI‘he fact. that the corporation is adding to its force daily does not Worry the president, because he believes them to be either unskilled or poor workmen, who will be a. drawback rather than a. help to their employers. The latest official declaration from steel sources is that the strike can now be settled only by the men goâ€" ing back to the mills. The posiâ€" tion the officials take, it. is said, is that the strike is over, so far as their dealing with the strikers as a body, is concerned. They want workmen for their idle mills, and men who want work can have it, for the asking at Wages paid before the shut-down. They may be union men or not, but the union can have no say as to their work or wages. WHAT SHAFFER SAYS. Mr. Shan‘er declared that the strike in spite of the claims of the other side to the contrary, is proceeding satisfactorily, and his association is making such serious inroads on the corporation’s business that, it will be compelled, sooner or later, to come to terms. His men, he says, are firm all along the line. and are de- termined to stand for their rights to the end. He says the mills that have been started are doing but little to insure the working of two mills a double turn, night and day, from now on. The management claims that the entire plant will be on full before the week ends. The strikers say this claim cannot be made good, and is being made merely as a. blufl'. In pursuance of its announced plan to run all of its plants nb$01utely non-union, the American Tin Plate Company on Wednesday commenced advertising for fi'onâ€"union men to go to Work. All applicants are offered the highest Wages and permanent jobs, but in every case the applica- tion must be made personally, and the applicant declare himself free from all union control. The com- pany has not its yet made the at- tempt to start either its Monongaâ€" hela or Demmler plants. but anâ€" nounces that both will be started soon. and on Wednesday added men to its force at the Star to insure the working of t“ a double turn, night and (la now on.

The death of Miss Anna Kane was most. pathetic. She was a, nurse girl employed by Mrs. Edwin Stan- eliffe, of this city, and was sent from Sodus on Friday in charge of Mrs. Stanclifl'e’s two little daughters, Who were coming to Elmira. When the wreck occurred Miss Kane threw her skirts around the children to protect; them, while she received the full force of the escaping steam in con- sequence. As a. result, one of the children was uninjured, while the other, though severely burned, was saved from death.

The engine first struck the van of the freight train, knocking it to splinters. The car ahead was londed.with granite. and this ot‘lered considerable resistance, and caused a good deal of damage to the engine and the combination car. As if by a miracle the engineer escaped with- out a scratch. The impact was so great that the cars ahead were driv- en about a hundred and fifty feet from where they were struck. The passengers got a shaking up, and were badly frightened, but happily not one of them was injured. They got out to see what was the matter, and upon learning the cause of the sudden halt. and seeing the evidences of the driver’s heroism, they went Wild with joy over their escape and the engineer's bravery.
