Trail, Jan, 26.—[Speociel to the
Recorp.)]—Daniel Stewart, a railroad
contractor, who came here from
Northport, Wash., ran to Drs. Corsan
and Hoyes about 12 o’clock last night
and excitedly said his wife had taken
poison. The phyacians used a
stomach pump and failed to confirm
the-poi theory. Both Stewart and
his wife are repentant today and de-
cline to talk. He is about 85 and
Mrs. Stewart 23 years old.

Colonel E. 8. Topping said today
that a Montreal firm is going to es-
tablish a big general merchandise
store here, carrying stock to the
amount of $100,000.

they could combine their interests the
public would not then be divided in
giving their support to the echeme.
Asaresult meetings have been held
by those interested in the two lines
with a view to a fusion of the
achemes.

Dr. Milne, who is one of the chief
promoters of the Fraser Valley &
Kootenay road, it is reported, returned
from a visit.to Vancouver, where he
met yesterday the leading spirits in
the Vancouver and, Eastern road.
The result of his trip is that it has
been practically decided that the two
forces will combine to ask at the com-
ing session of the legislature for a
charter to build a road from the
Coast through Southern Kootenay to
Lethbridge Alberta.

THE LEADVILLE MINERS.

The Owners’ Proporition to Settle the
Strike Is Declined.

Leadville, Col., Jan. 20.—The final
Proposition of the mine managers to
the striking miners of this district,
which was approved by Governor
Adams and E. V. Debs, was rejected
by the miners. The vote in their
meeting against its acceptance was al-
most unanimous. This ends all
negotiations as far as the governor is
concerned, and he has left for home
The only change made in the propo-
sition of the managers was the con-
ceasion of increased pay for trammers
and other outside men, predicated
upon an advance in silver, and this
has proven unsatisfactory to them, al-
though the general sentiment in view
of the breaking of the agreement in
1893 by the strike, was that the man-
agers had done even better than was
expected of them. ,
