Oondnctor James Edwards, who was in charge of the train was found on the prairie, half a mile from the wreck, in a dying condition. He had been beaten into insensibility and his body was covered with cuts and bruises. He cannot live. Two city policemen, who were on the train when it left the down town yards, are missing. A Chicago and Atlanlio switchman, who was loitering nenrtha scene of the wreck, was arrested.

The social .Demo cratic parry is alarmingly active, and is noomng trermany wun seditious aocu. meats, which the police are bug; confiscating.

The strike at the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, Pittsburgh, is at an end, although it is not yet officially declared off.

Chief Justice Gact, of Canada, has (riven an important Judgment bearing on the arrest of criminals from the United States.

Only a few months ago bo was. offomd a Si.OOO foe by a largo corporation, but ho replied ; "1 can't take it at any price. There la no case." , as ax onATm "Mel Fuller, as h la almost universally called In CbLago, not fanil larly but admlrInaly, la a ton of Maine and a native of Mr. Blaine's town of Aunusta. He camn West la ia50. Almost fr m Hie. fret be toe to the stamp, and tho au tonces of that orly day admired his ardency and rhetoric eimort as mveh at they did tbe Little Giant, w hose follower he was. Fuller was a good speaker even then, and though hie voice was thin, aa it still ia, and though be indulged iu literary illusWa. tionaand ci'atlotie, whose jm nt tbe (ion. noon clats sometimes m tsed, aa it do s to this day, he was happy ,n his euoics ot words ana phrases, greatly in earnest, and full of tbe winning quality ot sincerity. AS A CHUII'I UN. Mr. Fuller himself ia orthodox, and f ir twenty voars has been a vestryman of St. Murk's. He loves to mingle with the doctors of the church, and is never so happy as when a lay dolt-cute aud measuring wit with the tilbcla and unctuous fathers, returning from a, national a nod at Philadelphia, a year Or t o since, he tr, -1; a friend iu the afreet, and, in iCfinjnBe to inquiry conoernln-4 his vacation, tc kKwUaio he liad been, and addnd : "Egad, but tt was gloriour to sittbere and hear the old dootors expound! the law I" MOT TOO AniSTOCRATIO TO 8XOKE A rrvs. "Mel" Fuller is oueot tbt few men who are pointed out and spoken of on the streets of Chicago. His la always a conspicuous and wet. come figure, though not from its suss, for hs Is ollaht of frame and short of stature. His face ia remarkably youtiiul for one of bia age he is 05 and though hts hair i gray his eye retains all ot the brightness of a quarter of a century i;io. He ia active, vivacloue, genial, approachable, quick with a smile or a sally, as intuitive at a woman, and almost as tympathstlc. I o is a man with aun9hine in his face an 1 ralnn aehltia it. In bis oflice he is neither so busy ns to require cards to be sent in on a silver salvor nor too aristocratic to smoke a pipe. KVEUTBODV IN CHICAOO PLEASBD. There was no one in Chicago who had a word to aay againat tlte appointment It was received with such general approval that no one can bereafter doubt tbe high regard and warm personal feeling eptertstned for Mr. Fuller as lawyer and man by all who kuov him, whether Democrats or Republicans PKCilNED OWIOK FIVE TIME. It is an nndouhted tact that tbo tender of the Chief Justiceship ia tLs sixth appointment which the President lias offered Mr. 1 uller. He wants! tbe CfaKato lawyer to so abroad to take ouo of ih first-class mlttfeas. This was declined. Then Mr. Cleveland wanted Aim to take a place on tbe Civil rvi-e Commission, which w a not acceptable. The place of bolicltor General was thought ia keeping with hie legal talents, but hewinted none of it, 1 hs Interstate lommission was thou suggested by the President without meeting with lavor. Finally Mr. Cleveland vanted him to beconis a member oi tbe Pacini Hallway Oomm'ssion, which would sot interfere with his private practice, but this, too, w is dei-lined. It may be, for all any one knows, t hat there have been other tenders. How Mi Fuller Received the Mews. (From the Chicago News.1 "I didn't oxpoctlt," Baid Mr. Fuller. "lam so surprised that I cant think of anything to any. What is there to aay, snyhow? I saw what was in the papers, Jut don't believe all I see there. Tbe truth is, they wanted soma man from tho West. i ndgo Scholflebt could have had it, but he didn't want It. He dldnt wrie that letter doclicang ta havn his name com-idered tor the plaoe without something bshiuiit." -Yon are not likely to iako the ta no eourse, are you?" was asked.

Among tbe Chicago colts young Farrell has probably made ttie most brilliant showing. His work from the very outset baa been of a character to challence ad miration everywhere, and If ha con- I tinues as he has begun he will fill Mike Kelly's shoes within a year's time, so far as public regard andi-ali--playing ability is concerned. Just aa Kelly waa.
