ORAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12,1894
IN CONGRESS.
The limine I'uhmk the Tooling Hill—LoiiiKB 11 the Senate. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—In the senate Tuesday Senator Morrill (rep., Vt.) spoke at length In opposition to various financial measures Introduced by Senator Peffer (pop., Kan.) providing for the issuance of large 6ums of greenbacks. The senate postponed action on the measures indefinitely. Senator Kerry (dem., Ark.) spoke in favor of the bill to organize the territory of Indianola. Senator Dolph (rep.. Ore.) spoke in support of the Nicaragu&n bill. Senator Sherman (rep., O.) expressed his general approval of the bill, but said he was not satisfied with its provisions as to the compensation of the canal company, which compensation, in his opinion, should be confined to the money actually expended by the company. Tho bill went over without action, remaining the unfinished business.
At the end of four hours' consideration of the bill to permit railroads to pool their earnings the house passed the measure by a vote of 106 yeas to 110 nays. The closing speeoh against tho bill was made by Mr. Cannon (rep., Ill ), while Messrs. Sibley (dem., Pa.), Harter dem., O.) and Black and Springer (dems.. III.) advocated Its passago An effort was made by Mr. Dinglcy (rep., Me.) to secure additional debate upon tho bill under the five-minute rule, but Mr. Patterson (dein., Term.), In charge of the bill. Insisted upon his demand for the previous question at 8 o'clock, in accordance with the notice ho gave on Saturday. The vote seconding the demand—174 yeas to 100 nays—was something of a surprise even to the friends of the bill who did not expect more than
•ifi
or 30 majority for the motion. The opponents of the bill exhausted every parliamentary device to prevent its passage, but as they could muster no more than 111 votes at any time they accomplished nothing. The substitute for the bill, proposed by Mr. Cooper (dem.. Kin.), giving the Interstate commerce commission final jurisdiction over all questions relating to (he operations of pooling arrangements. cutting off the right of appeal by the railroads from the decision of the commission, was rejeeted—yeas 10C nays 1T0. Thehou.se also refused to recommit the bill, either with or without instructions.
NO QUARTER SHOWN.
The Jftpnnvie Hutohwr the 1'npulut Inu ol Port Arthur. YOKOHAMA, Dec. 12.—The Japanese troops entered Port Arthur November 21 and massacred practically the entire population in cold blood. The defenseless and unarmed Inhabitant* were butchered In their houses nnd their bodies were unspeakably mutilated. There was an unrestrained reign of murder, whioh continued for three days. The whole town was plundered with appalling atrocities. It was the first strain upon Japanese civilization. The Japanese in this instance relapsed into barbarism. All pretense that oircumstances justified the atrocities are false. The civiliEed world will be appalled by the details.

Cmr'AOO, Dec. 12.—West side cable trains In collision In the Washington street tunnel shortly after 0 o'clook Tuesday night caused the worst wreck and disaster that has happened on the street oar liues of the city outside of the grade crossing looomotive horrors. A dozen passengers among the hundreds who crowded the two trains were seriously Injured, two of them fatally, and others whose names could not be learned on account of their hurried departure from the scene, were slightly hurt by flying glass and splintered wood. Following Is the list of the badly injured:

Hrakes Wouldn't Work.
A Milwaukee avenue grip car with two trailers descended the sharp grade of the tunnel going west with nearly 2S0 homeward-bound West-siders olose behind a Madison street train made up of a grip aud two trailers. When half way down the incline the Milwaukee avenue grip mau found Ills brakes refused to hold to the cable .and in spite of sand thrown on the track the train rushed down with terrifying velocity towards the train in front. At the bottom of the grade came the crash of the collision, leaving only a few seconds' grace from the time of warning for those passengers who were nearest the outside to jump ou the clear track.
Wreckage Takes »lre.
The victims were penned in the two tra'lers of the Madison street train, which were shattered to splinters. Frantic screams of pain and terror filled the air. Fire added to the horror of the panic, aud many were hurt In the frantic scramble to escape from the wrecked cars. The fire came from the stove In the first trailer, but no one was injured in that way. Doors, windows, wooden blinds and the heavy metal parts of the cars were smashed and hurled In all directions. The shattered seats crushed against the limbs or the unfortunates, and the platforms of the two trailers at both ends were forced into the struggling, wounded maaa of human beings. Several of the victims had to be extricated from the debris and Smith, who had hi* legs broken, was pulled over the front end of the first trailer just in time to escape being burned by theooal from the battered stove. A few of the passen gers in the first Milwaukee avenue trailer were hurt and the machinery of both grips, besides parts of other cars were smashed by the terrible compact. Traffic was delayed several hours, aud intense excitement prevailed after the collision.
A BANK FAILS.
An As»l|cnuient Forces a St. Joseph (Mo.) Institution to Close. ST. JOSKPH, MO., Deo. 12. —At 11 o'clock Tuesday night the Commercial baak, capitalized at 8126,000, made an assignment. A. Klrkpatrick is named as assignee. N. P. Ogden is president J. U. Morris, vice president M. M. Riggs. cashier. The llabiliIties are given at 8270,000 and assets at $825,000. The failure of George L. Roberts, a dry goods merchant, was the direct cause of the bank failure. The Commercial bank holds a claim for SI8.8M against Roberts. It is said no other St. Joseph institutions are affected. The bank failure created no surprise, as It haB been known for some time it was losing money. The capital by late losses on loans has been impaired one-half. The directors decided that it would be more profitable to close now than to make up the defiolt. The liabilities are chiefly moneys due depositors.

Oi'TiiuiF.. O. T., Dec. 12. -A sqi 1 deputy United Slates marshals liav« just unearthed a dangerous band of counterfeiters who have been operating in conjunction with counterfeiters in Indiana and Missouri. A chance I word uttered by a member of the gang while intoxicated led to a raid aud the subsequent lodging iu the United States jail of Guy Harper, I,.

Caught In the Act.
After shadowing the men three months and two days, all of which time spurious coius, rangiug in denomination from ten cents to one dollar, were circulated. The outlaws unwittingly led their captors to an underground cave a few miles east of Perkins. After locating th* underground mint, the deputies organized and armed themselves to the leetii. At 2 o'clock Monday morning they descended into the cavern, and artei- trriversing subterranean pa-ss-ige for 100 yards, quickly hur-^t in a door aud found twenty-live men at work. The counlrrfeiters had been trapped so adroitl and were so taken by surprise that th:*y failed to show fightand scattered like rats tlirnu(jfh different exits. All escaped save timse above named, but it develop-, t! at the prisoners were the ieaders and the spurious money-makers, and that the others were only "shovers." their work being to float the spurious coin.
Prepared (o Flood the Country. With tlie prisoners the officers gathered in three buckets full of counterfeit dollars and two tubs full of dimes, quarters and nickels, besides a splendid and costly assortment of molds and other queer paraphernalia.
The underground cavern was elaborately furnished, containing folding beds, works of art, divaLS, fine Hrussels carpet and a safe. The men had been operating in the cave nearly eight months, and much of the spurious coin was boxed and expressed to pals in other states, to be placed in circulation..
All the counterfeiters are educated and well dressed. Tillery was atone time an employe In the mint at Philadelphia. The little town of Perkins Is greatly excited over the raid. The Lockett brothers resiilod in Perkins and were considered exemplary young men.
