Another change sentiment and the announcement of ..a agreement by silver advocates to let a vote be taken was the cause. The senate thereupon resumed its wonted manner of going on With .business. During the afternoon senators exchanged pleasantries with one another, for which many of them have had little time and some of them less inclination of late. After Mr. Faulkner moved a recess in advance of the usual hour most of the members remained chatting in the chamber. When at last they got out and found the sun still shining, an unusual experience with them of late, most of them drew a long of relief. They realized apparently for the first time that the end was xeally near and began to make plans .for .the future. A conference of silver Democrats to decide whether filibustering should be resorted to was not large nor long continued, but upon its decision hung the important question of the possible defeat of the bill, and certainly that of the delay of its passage. They simply canvassed the situation and concluded that it was not a wise policy to attempt to make good the promise of making further opposition to the bill. They made that pledge While, laboring under a fit of resentment over the defeat of their compromise measure. They recognized that with a majority' against them they would be compelled to yield sooner or later. Furthermpre, they contended that if a settlement, should be longer delayed the business depression would be laid at the doors of silver. Taking all these matters into consideration, as they also did the physical condition of members, they concluded to repress their resentment and yield immediately. Senator Harris was chosen to carry the message to the Republicans. Immediately afterward a halt was called upon an incipient filibuster' and the long fight w/as practically at an end. Most of the Republicans, Populists and many of the Democrats say that they expect congress to adjourn early next week untifthe first Monday in December., Senator Faulkner, who has acted as Senator Voorhees’ principal aid in the long battle, said that he believed adjournment would soon follow. “There is nothing,” he said, “to be gained by remaining here now. There is no legislation pressing. The ways and means committee of‘the house will not conclude its labors upon the tariff bill and, have it in shape for presentation to the house before Nov. 20, if then. I think congress might just as well adjourn and let that committee continue work.” . i The older leaders oi’ tiro Dcmora atici party, upon whom the decision will large-* ■< ly rest, are not- quite so confident of adjournment. Senator Harris says there is a great deal for congress to do, and he does not see why it does not proceed with the work without interruption. Senators Voorhees and Gorman refuse to discuss the question at all, saying it has not been canvassed.

Grandison Cosby, he claims, planned the scheme, but had no part in the crime. Williams and Kays killed the old woman and Clark and White slew Wratten, and they made him go inside and lay down in the blood, so that if caught he would be implicated. He was then forced tq spread the alarm. The motive was robbery, but the murderers, he asserts, claimed to have found no money. Washington, Oct, 25,—The grand jury is still in session investigating the Wratten murder. It is said they possess facts that sustain a part of Stone’s confession. It was developed that these men were banded together for the purpose of murder, arson and theft, possessing signs, grip and password, and the old lady Wratten’s murder had been in I contemplation for a year or more. The grand jury is evidently getting at the bottom facts, and this vicinity will have a thorough purging of all vicious characters. Excitement still continues at fever heat and while people believe that Stone was a principal in the murder they think he had assistants whom he is trying to shield.

MEOR ON ml SAIL TWENTY-EIGHT LIVES LOST IN AN AWFUL HOLOCAUST. Collision In the Yards of Bay. City, Jlieh., Between Grand Trunk Trains, Fallowed by tlie Burning of the Cars. Pathetic Stories of the Disaster. Battle Creek, Mich., Oct. 2L—-The «rror of one human being—of a man who now crouches affrighted like a hunted -animal in a prison cell—led to the greatest railroad holocaust in the history of Michigan and 26 human lives have paid the penalty of the moment’s negligence. Two trains, both laden with passengers, met in a direct headend collision on the Grand Trunk railroad in the suburbs of this city, *and that the number of dead and injured was not fourfold greater is due to the fortunate facts that the collisioil occurred in the suburb: 1 , of a City instead of the open country, where both trains would have been running at full speed. As it is 26 charred, disfigured and unrecognizable bodies lie in the morgue and 27 marred and bleeding victims are groaning in agony in the Charity hospital. How many of these' wounded may be added to the death list no one can tell, for the injuries in many cases are internal and quite unfathomable to the only superficial medical examination that is possible now. • The two trains which met face to face while going at a rapid rate of speed were both regular trains although each w T as considerably behind time. One was a Raymond and Whitcomb special re-, turning from the world’s fair and bound for New York and Boston and the other was the regular Pacific express westbound. The Raymond and Whitcomb was running as an extra section of a regular train, and was therefore a “regular” in the phraseology of the railroad men. The engineer of the latter train had positive' orders to side track for the express at a siding a mile east of this city. He ignored these orders and 600 feet beyond he met the eastbound full on. Both trains were wrecked and Half the. train of the Pacific express was demplished and burned. The Raymond and Whitcomb train being composed almost entirely of heavy sleepers escaped serious injury and none of the excursionists lost their lives! The bodies were,loaded on a flat car at the scene of the wreck and taken to Ranger & Farley’s undertaking rooms, where a morgue had” been extemporized. While everything was done to relieve the remains of their ghastly appearance the scene at the morgue appalled the stoutest hearts. The dead were ranged along the side of a dark basement which was illuminated by a faint flickering jet. They .rested on sheets of canvass and a covering of the same material was over them. No one. after a careful examination of the bodies, could say which were male or female. Not a shred of clothing was left upon them. , The re-

New York, Oct. • 2t«.- -The arrest of Madison Square bank cfudals has created a decided sensatiop. The suspension of the institution so. nr months ago has grown in bad odor, a.ifi every week brought new and surprri >g tacts and rumors, but the latest charges create surprise. It has already been acknowledged that the bank's Affairs are in a muddled condition. The following directors f amished bail and were released; President Blant, 115,000; Frederick Uhlman, $5,000; An-, drew C. Soulard, $5,000; konald T. McDonald, $10,600; Simon Ottenberg, $5,000.

Before that it could have been sold, but with that indorsement it became unsaleable. It would appear, as though this was a very serious offense and not a mere technical crime.

that they 3I1 \ nmrnmv that -idfe > (c5eI1 drsfigured before death. — ■ The best preserved corpse was that of a boy about 12 years of age. The upper part of the head was gone—consumed by flames. A portion of the brains protruded and had been literally cooked. The boy’s body was dree from bruises or cuts. The upper portion of the body and legs were not badly burned, and an examination would lead to the belief that he had p.ot been fortunate enough to receive any blow severe enough to cause death. He must have perished by fire in full consciousness of his fate. Another of the best preserved bodies was that of a man of powerful physical frame*. Some of the underclothing that covered the lower portion of the” body and shoes were untouched by the flames that had licked the victim’s face, shoulders and body. ‘These parts were black as ebony. And these two were the least scarred and best preserved of that row of' unrecognized dead. The other remains were there only in parts, some headless, some armless and all shriveled and disfigured.

TARIFF TALK. Sentiment In Favor of Income Tas to Make’ Up Proposed Reductions. Washington, Oci. 33. —All the Democratic members of* the ways and means committee engaged in the preparation of i he tarilf bill a$#ree that it is desirable to have the bill reported to the house at the earliest day possible, and most of them think that it can be reported at least within a month. The income tax sentiment is growing among the Democrats of the house. It is admitted that some other taxation than that in force will be necessary, as members oS the majority say that the new tarilf bill will mean a_, decrease in revenues derived, from imports of at least 135,0.00,000, without taking into consideration the present deficiencies. It is now intended to make up the present deficit by coinage of the seignorage of silver in the treasury, but the deficiency under the new tariff bill cannot be disposed of in any other way than by Home other mode of taxation.* BANKRUPTCY BIIX.

HEROIC DEATH. How Mrs. Vandusen Was Made the Martyr of the Awful Experiences. Battle Creek, Oct. 21. —The most awful experience of this terrible affair was that of Mrs. C. C. Vandusen of Sprouthrook, N. Y., who was burned to death with hands free and in full possession of her senses in spite of the utmost endeavors of the party of rescuers. Soon after the wreck occurred Mr. Vandusen was removed from beneath a pile of debris and taken to-the hospital, where he died in a short time. He was conscious to the last, left Ms business affairs in the hands of Rev. George Culp of this city, a friend, and died without knowing that for his wife had been reserved the most awful fate of all. Mrs. Vandusen was pinned in the telescoped cars and at first had no doubt of her escape. As she looked out of the window and awaited her rescuers, the alarm of fire was suddenly given. “Hurry up; please hurry up," she said, as fear crossed her ipind. A minute later, while strong men were straining to extricate her, the possibility became a -probability and the flames crept rapidly nearer. “You Shan’t burn; we’ll get you out,” cried the men heroically, as they wrestled frantically with the splintered timbers. There was a lull of speech tor five minutes. The rescuers had become giants in strength and madmen in desperation, and they struggled wildly with the tangled mass of wood and iron. The -woman was silent and gazed imploringly and inquiringly into the faces of the firemen. “My God, oh, my God!” suddenly hurst "from the lips of one of the heroic workers, and in that despairing heartcry the helpless woman read her death warrant. She gave one agonizing wail and then her woman’s weakness gave way to' a strength. “I can die; oh, yes, I can die if I must,’ she said soothingly to the strong men who were weeping in their impotent strength. Again they struggled breathlessly to rescue her, but the flames were encircling the party and. the‘blaze claimed the victim that the crash had spared. “I am a Christian.” she said resignedly, and a moment later her voice was raised in prayer. The flames now completely encircled the helpless victim and the firemen were driven a wo/,. As the

Stone, you got here too late to see the fun. We have killed them all, and had a picnic with all except _the old woman, and she fought like hell.”
