STRUCK BY A TRAIN.

HE MEETS HIS FATE AT A CROSSING.

Railroad M«u Attribute HI* Oemtli to lilt Own Carelesfineftii—lle Wan One of the Fainout Hoodie CommtKKlonora of Cook County.

STOHY OF HIS DEATH.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—Grade crossing* claimed another victim Wednesday evening—Adam Ochs, ex-member and chairman of the board of county commissioners. He was crossing- the tracks at May and Kinzie' streets at 0:80 o'clock in a cutter when the incoming Panhandle passenger train ran him down and inflicted injxiries that resulted fatally one hour later.

Carelesnnetui Denied.

The offly witnesses of the accidcut were railroad men, and they assert that Mr. Oclis' death 1*#ras due to foolhardiness and carelessness on his part. Ills widow and relatives insist that these assertions arc not true, saying that he was the most careful man, and that he would not be guilty of doing what the railroad men say he did—dart under the gates that were half way down

IIU Injuries.

The police of West Chicago avenue station were notified of the accident by Officer Pat McGee, and the ambulance conveyed the dying man to St. Elizabeth's hospital, where he breathed his last at 7:30 o'clock. His injuries, consisting of a fracture of the zygona. a compound comminuted fracture of the left leg and a compound fracture of the skull, were necessarily fatal.

III A Career.

[Adam Ochs was born in Germany tiftyone years ago and camc to Chicago when II years old. After hl« marriage, twenty-eight years ago, he engaged in the wholesale liquor trade which ho followed to the time of his death. Mr. Ochs was a member of tho county board in the years 1883, 18S4 and 1885. In 1885 ho was president of the board and was identified with the boodlers that controlled it. The grand jury which investigated the boodle claims finished its labors March 31, 1887, returning true bills for conspiracy to defraud the county against thirty-two persons, eight of whom were county commissioners, seven ex-commissioners, three wardens of county Institutions and the rest contractors or merchants mixed up in the deals. Ochs was one of the ex-commissioners indlctcd. The trial began before Judge Jamieson and a jury July 21,1887, and a verdict was returned August 5. Ochs and six others were sentenced to two years in Joliet penitentiary and four other defendants escaped with 11,000 fines. The greatest efforts of the prisoners' counsel did not avail to secure anew trial or a reversal by the supreme court, and May 11,1888, five of the convicts were taken to.lolict to serve out their terms, Wren and McClaughrcy having already gone without waiting for the supreme court decision.]

CHILI SEEKS TIME.

it it

romlses to State Kxaet.ly What Will Do—It Will lie runted. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Chili wants time to make a proposition. It wants to put the whole controversy on a new basis. This is the news which comes from Minister Egan in Santiago. When tho proposition is made it may be interpreted by the United. States as warlike or it may be accepted as a peaco offering. But it at least asks the opportunity to make it. Minister Egan has been notified that instructions will be sent to Minister Mount soon for a change' of negotiations. Mr. Egan evidently thinks that time should bo given for a new proposition to be formulated. So the president'! message and the correspondence will not go to congress to-day. It may be Friday or it may be Monday, but the Chilians will have the opportunity for their latest expression to be put before congress at the same time. Up to Wednesday evening Minister Montt had not received his instructions, but ho is looking for them every day. What Chili has to say will be in the nature of an ultimatum from it, not in the offensive sense, but in the way. of reply to the United States government. It will fully define its position on all the points in controversy, declare how far it is ready to go in the direction of apologizing for the Matta let' ters as well as In making reparation for the Baltimore outrage. If its propositions are not satisfactory to the United States—and the belief is that they will not be—then it will be either war or arbitration. WANTS NC "HING FROM CRISP.

CONVICTS MUTINY.

RlO ANKllto, Jan. 21.—After a sen son of comparative tranquility tins city has again become violently disturbed and the citizens have been thrown into a state of excitcmeul approaching the feeling which prevailed' here during the. uprisings which resulted in the dethronement und banishment of the late Dom Pedro and the overthrow and subsequent retirement to private life of the dictator. Gen. da l'onsoca. l'rl»oiit-rK' Mutiny.

The trouble began Tuesday evening, when 100 prisoners confined for various offenses in Fort Santa Cruz, situated on the east side of the entrance to the harbor of Kio Janeiro ami 2 nnles south of the city, mutinied and succeeded in overpowering and disarming the guards and soldiers stationed at the place. Emboldened by their success the prisoners resolved to extend their scope of operations. Armed with the weapons taken from their former guards they advanced upon Forts 1'ieo and Tage, overcame the soldiers on duty and took possession of the two forts and all the munitions of war which they containeo, iJeiiiunded Ilii KoiiMecu'n Melioration.

Flushed by their victories, the prisoners. after perfecting all their arrangements for guarding the 'oris against the. attacks which they knew the government would surely make to dislodge them, boldly demanded the restoration to power of the deposed dictator. Gen. da Fonseca. The government officials, when they bccume aware hurried all their availto the sec lie of

of the situation. able forces the uprising. placed us to held by the side, while which were tioned so a.s to guard the side of the forts which faced on the harbor. The rebels were very defiant and kept up a desultory lire while the government forces were making preparations for the attack.

The troops were so surround the forlS rebels on the land the Hruzilian warships in the vicinitv were st.'i-

Korti* Taken by

SI drill.

Matters continued in this state until Wednesday forenoon when the arrangements for taking the forts bv storm were perfected. The order to advancc on the rebels was at length given and the troops at once moved on to the attack, wnilc the guns oi the war vessels in the harbor began to thunder forth and hurl their deathdealing shells through the air. The efforts of the soldiers were directed against Fort Pico. They made a combined grand assault on the works and after a show of resistance by the rebels the troops carried the fort and the government' was again placed in possession. In the meantime the gunboats were bombarding Fort. .Santa C'ruz and so effective was their work that the rebels were soon forced to throw down their arms and surrender themselves to the authorities. The troops eventually obtained possession of the forts which had been seized, anil the prisoners, after their brief and intensely exciting period ol freedom, were again placed in cells and a strong guard was detailed to watch over them to prevent repetition of the stirring sccncs which followed their outbreak from the fort.

Killed lllneielf.

The leader of the rebels, when lie saw that further resistance was useless, and knowing the fate which would undoubtedly befall Inm should he be captured, resolved to take his own life, and when the soldiers reached' tlie place where lie had been lighting they found liis dead body lying on tlie ground.
