Eifteen Miners Blown Into Eternity by on Explosion of Giant Powder, DISASTER IN A MINE IN CERMANY. M.nf Lives Let In all Farts of th World Through Carelessness or Chance. Binoham, Jan. 3. Special to The Times. Henry Ralkh, a miner em-ployed in the Niagara, was entombed by the caving in of the great aihle by which the silver-lade- hill is being punctured, at 4 o'clock this morning, and the dead body was taken out a , few minutes later, a pulpy and con-torted mass of human bone and flesh. The accident is one of the most de-plorable that have obtruded themselves upon the annals of Utah mining. It is another of those uoforscen tragedies that are brought about through the treachiries of an apparently solid for-mation, but to which so many lives pay annual tribute. One of the most of the roster that work by day and night on the property, poor Ilalkh'a Taking Off is the occosion for universal grief. He went to work as usual with the night shift, and engaged at his labors iu the tunnel when suddenly the earth above began to tumble, and then came down like an avalanche, entomb-ing him. His companions hastened to tho scene, and with unrelenting stroke proceeded to exhume the body of the unfortunate miner. Deceased is an old timer among the mines of this locality, having resided here for ten years, and experienced all the vicissitudes, the tips and downs of frontier life. His more than generous disposition, his uniform kindness and genial nature made every one his friend, and the last act will doubtless be one imposing tribute to 4 A I'.eful Career. The Independent Order of Odd Pel-low- s of which he was a momber in high i Minding, have taken charge of his re mains and will direct the funeral which i", V will take place tomorrow. But little can be learned at this hour as to the antecedents of deceased. He was wedded to the frontier and kept but little record of the past. Ho was 45 years of age and a single man. Thero is no definite cause to which to ascribe the accident. The workings were apparently se-cure until the fatal collapse ar-rived and without warning snatched a lifo away. Ralkh was well known to a large number of persons in Salt Lake where in tho past he has spent consid-erable time. QUEEN NATHALIES E0 3K. It UiT Horn. Spicy Details at Her Dir. rer.nrM With King Milan. Paris. Jan. 8. Special to 'The Times. Queen Nathalie's hook, re-counting the history of the matrimonial differences botweeu herc!f and King Milan is about ready for the press, and will be in the hands of the reading pub-lic before the close of the month. The adventures of the g with Madame Artemisia Kristie.s,, coiuinouly know n in the salons of Belgrade as Madame do Pompadour, are minutely related. This beautiful Greek, was the primary cause of the queen's divorce from Milan. The queen relates Unit one evening at a court ball, King Milan had the insolence to put his arm around the waist of Artemisia, and thus paa-- be-fore Xathali J and her ladies. All pres-ent were immensely scandalized, and the proud wife, offendtfd to her heart's core, called hor husband the son of a swineherd, as it is supposed such was his origin. The queen touches this part of her matrimonial history lightly. She tells enough, however, to show that Milan was tho stave of Artemisia. Kristics, who was a merchant, was sent, by Milan on ti diplomatic mission to Athens. There he married Artemisia and took her back with him to Be-lgrade. She made a gn at sensation at the Servian court, and her most ardent admirer was Milan, who fell madly in love with the superb Greek beauty. Just then Xathalia left on a continental tour, and Milan sent Kristics on a di-plomatic mission to Berlin. Tho king was forced to abdicate, atnl he went to Paris where he was joined by Artemisia. At tirst it was reported that Artemisia's husband committed suicide, but instead he secured a divorce and is now living in Belgrade in good style. Artemisia still retains the favor of the fat THE RECORD OF CRIME. A Mississippi Hold-u- p Lynched A Louis. Una Assassination. Newton, Miss., Jan. 3.

Tho commis-sioner of Indian affairs today received from Indian Agent Rover the following telegram dated Pine Ridge agency, S D-- , January 2: "Number two and three day school buildings, tho Episcopal church located at White Clay creek, a short distance from the agency, were burned by the hostile Indians. Isaac Miller, a while man and a for-mer employe of tho beef herd was killed by tho hostile Indians yesterday ten miles north of the agency. About 3000 men, women and children, are camped near the mouth of Grass Creek, fifteen miles northeast of the agency. They a'e hostile and refuse to come into tho agency as requested by the military. They are committing all kinds of depredations and living off our agency beef here. Li ttle Wound, Big Road. Red Cloud and their people are among them, and it is reported they want to come into tho agency, but Two Strike, Short Bull, Kicking Bear and their people object and say they will kill the first one who starts to the agency. Report has it that Red ('loud s desirous of coming to his home." General Schotield this morning re-ceived the following telegram from General Miles dated at Pine Ridge, Jan. 2. "There is a report from the Indian camp that Red Cloud and Little Wound are determined to come in with their followers, but their lives havo been threatened by the hosliles who are determined to go to war. Thero also is a report from the same source of an engagement betweont the Indians and cavalry in whic--iuit- e a number of soldiers wer5 killiaod some Indi-ans,. - Tf.fli'if is enrreeffl was .urobably, on the line on White river. General Brooke now has command of that line and will give the necessj y directions." General Scholield sail.- o the reporter after this telegram was given out that nothing addit onal had been received up to the present time. "I still havo hopo that we shall yet be able to get the Indians into camp with-out a fight. The forces now in the field, under the command of General Miles, are about 8000 officers ami men." Father Craft'. Story. New York. Jan. 3. Tho New York Freeman's Jurnal publishes a letter from Father Crafts, Catholic Indian missionary, who was probably fatally stabbed in Monday's battle. F'ather Craft says in the begin-ning the Indians hoped for much aid from the government, to enable then to become like tiie whites. They were, however, in every way abused, mocked and discouraged, Instead of being wards they have felt that they were victims of unscrupulous politic-ians who benefited by tlieir misery. Father Crafts adds: "I know what I say, for I have shared their sufferings for many years in their despair. General Crook brought them to hope. Their confidence in him led them to hope that ho would bo able to realize their hopes. His death was their death blow, and they felt it. The Indians aro not fools, but men of keen intelligence. The reductions in rations increased their fears. Even the Indian agents protested against the cruelty. Mr. Lee, who took the cen-sus, made grave mistakes. He counted less thau the real numbers and made false reports of prosperity that did not exist. It is not to be wondered at that they believed in the messiah, whom they first doubted, and listened to every deceiver who promised hope. "Interested whites took advantage of this state of affairs and howled for troops. The army indignantly pro-tested against the false statements, but had to go to the scene of supposed danger. The interested whites per-suaded them that their entire destruc-tion was aimed at, and the Indians ran away in fear ami despair. Father Jutz calmed them anil I brought them back to the agency and the kind ness of General Brooke con-vinced them of their safety. The general's plan to send In-dians out after those still out was good and would have succeeded if the gen-eral were left alone. Rumor, of a Itattle. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 3. A special from Pine Ridge, dated Jan. 2, gives more definite rumors relative to the reported engagement between Gen. Carr's command and the Indians iu the Bad Lands. TI e;o would indicate that tho troops were driven back and a number killed, but the news cannot he considered authentic. Scouts who have returned from other hostile camps, however, bring anything but reassuring reports. The Indians wili not listen to peace propo-sitions. Small detachments of troops have been sent to the scene of Mon-day's battle at Wounded Knee, whero many of the bodies of the lndiaus slain rtill remain. These will be eithor bur-ied on the ground or brought to the agency. LIS! of ii: The Hijr Theater Fire in New York Last Night Swallowed lp $."57.U(M).

Daniels, the merchant prince of Colorado, has a strong local interest here in New Yolk. It is not generally known that his widow lives in this city and by his death is entitled, according to the laws of Colorado, to one-hal- f of her husband's fortune which amounts to something More limn ;l, 0011,000. Her claim will be vigorously contested, ' and it is asserted that a lawsuit is al-ready on tho tapis which will be at once one of the biggest and most in-teresting of this decade. The story is stranger than any fiction. The heroine and widow is Donna Madixxa. a mem-ber of Augustin Daly's company of the season of iHHIMMJ, and later the leading lady in tho play of "The Blue Officer," w hich was produced by Count Kessler at the Madison Square theater. She Is a Spanish woman, rlking-l- It' ant Kill, after the pure Castilian type. She was born in Madrid a trifle more than thirty yeurs ago, and has the honor of being the granddaughter of Maria Josepha Mi guel, Count Madixxa. When quite a young girl the beauti-ful Spaniard came to this country and located iu Boston, where she took the full course at tho Boston University School of Oratory and was graduated with high honor. Subsequently she taught for three years in the same school, after which she went to Denver, Colo., late in 1HK0. where she establish-ed a school of oratory, which was pat-ronized by the Kllte of tho Waatern City. During this, timo she met Mr. Daniels, tlli1" millionaire merchant Ha wag im . ; , ,. mediately infaluated and made- himself ... , as useful to the charming foreigner as she would permit. A largo benefit was tendered her at- - Tabor's opera houso February 15, 1W2, in which Mr. Dan-iel- s was the moving spirit. Ota- - ' ers interested were Senator Hill, Gov. F'vaus and Chief Justice Reck. Madixxa herself appeared more radi-ant even than usual, and scored a great success. Daniel, flureumhed Kntirely. Shortly after this ho proposed and was accepted. Madixxa came back to New York to visit her sister, now Mine. Duret De Brie, wife of the grandson of the Marquis Da Brie, and living in Paris. At that time she was unmarried and living in Now York. Mr. Daniels almost immediately followed, and the wedding took place July 8. 1882, at Old Lynne, Conn,, this place hcing selected because the young son of Mr. Daniels was attending school thero at the time. Among the wedding guests were the late Chief Justice Waite and his daught-ers. Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple departed for Long Branch, whero they enjoyed a honey-moon of two weeks. They then re-turned to. Denver and located in the millionaire's beautiful home in Champa street. Madixxa'. Sunny Sky soon became overcast. She found tha house in possession of two colored ser-vants, Henry Mitchell, tho coachmen, and Annie, his wife. This woman had been practically the mistress of the house while Mr. Daniels was a, widower and for several years previous to that time, his former wife having been an invalid and obliged to spend her time in the cast fur special treatment. Tho, servant keenly resented being ordered from her former posiliou of authority and proceeded to mr.ke matters as un-pleasant for the young bride as possi-bl- e an undertaking in which she suc-ceeded admirably. She also worked upon the feelings of Mr. Daniels, and the new wife had not been in tho house three months before she discovered that the former relations between tho two) had been resumed. This her HuiiKhty Spanish Spirit would not brook. She ordered her hus-band to choose between herself and the servant, declaring that one or the other must leave the house. Daniels, who was over sixty lit the iime, and who had suffered from softening of the braiu several years previous, worried pain-fully. Ho promised to keep the woman where she belonged, but said she was in possession of certain secrets of his which he could not alford to have di-vulged as they would be if she were turned away. A temporary truce. was proclaimed, and Mr. Daniels left for New York on a six weeks' business trip. Shortly after his return the trouble was re-sumed. The colored woman became insufferable in her assumption of au-thority, ami Madixxa took a determined stand. Frequent quarrels followed j with the result that in less than six mouths after the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Daniels "Had Agreed to Disagree." Separation papers were drawn up,, signed by both parties, and young Mrs.' Daniels accepted $75,000 in bonds and property iu lieu of dower. This in-- , eluded "the homestead in which they had been living. A divorce was con-- :' templaled and letters flew back and forth between tho parties. Five days after the separation papers had been drawn up Madixxa received a letter asking for a private interview that they might talk matters over fully. This she granted ani he came to tbo house THE SILVER BRICK REFUSED. Cnloradoan. Will T.-.- t the lilitlit nr the Ouvernment ti Refuse lliillion. Pint Ai'Ki.i'lilA. Jan. 3. Judge Harlcy B. Morse and George ('. M'Mirk of Denver, Col., called at tho United States mint in this city with a brick of silver weighing 51 1. H ounces 1'iie, and presented it to tho weighing clerk and demanded that it be coined into money. Upon their demand being refused, they waiteil upon Col. Bosby-shel- l, superintendent of the mint, and made the same demand verbally. Col. Bosbyshell refused to accept the brick for coinage atid Morse and Merick then presented him with a formal de-mand in writing. After presenting the demand, Merick asked Col. Bosbyshell to give them a certificate or leltcrcerti-fvin- g that he anil Morse hail olfered their silver for roinage and that it had beed refused by him, so they would be saved the trouble of proving that fact in court, where they propose to test the right of the government to refuse bullion. In compliance with their request Col. Bosbyshell gave them the letter. After receiving Colonel Boshyshell's written refusal to receive their bullion the two gentlemen wrapped up their brick and departed. The ground upon which Morse and Merrick based their demand is a constitutional one and de-nies the right of the go eminent to make what is known as "seigniorage." As the present market value of silver bullion is 103J cents per ounce fine of 871 J grains, while the actual value per ounce when coined into silver dollars is 1211.2!) cents, when the government buys bullion it pays the market bullion price ami makes the difference which is "seigniorage." between that prico and the legal tender value. It is this "seigniorage" 'vhich the gentlemen who presented their silver t the mint today think"4"" hav i0(l right to as the govw pent K?c NEXT SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS. "Long" Joaea Maya He I.

Special to Tub Timks.J "Long" Jones, chair-man of the state republican committee, arrived here today for the purpose of meeting the members of the legislature just as soon as they reach the city. He sneers at the claims of the democrats and asserts that the next United States senator from Illinois will he a republi-can. He favors the candidacy of Far-we- ll for but he thinks that the junior senator has seriously dam-aged his political prospects by the vir-ulent manner in which he recently as-sailed President Harrison. Jones will not give an inkling of his proposed campaign. If it can be avoided no member will bo unseated, and the pro-ceedings will be conducted as amicably as the circumstances will permit. Tho democrats declare that they have enough of votes to organize the house and elect the United States .senator without any unreasonable delay, even though the republicans resort to ob-structive tactics. They will probably elect C, K. Crafts of Cook, county, speaker. He is an "old parliamentary band'' and will, if in the chair, brook no dictation either frouuhe republicans or democrats. ; .' - .

During a dense fog in the British channel this morning off Dungness, a collision occurred between two steamers, in which the oil laden steamer Caroline Robert Do Massy was sunk. Tho crew escaped in boats. Evidence of another serious disaster was found on the coast at Deal, not far from Dover, whero the carcasses of a number of bullocks were washed up. Brass plates upon the horns of two of these animals were marked 3445, U. S. A., and 3871, U. S. A. Tierces of beef were also found float-ing about the Goodwin sands.
