Now York special: From Albany, which has all along been the head center ~ the troubles resulting from the strikes '• on the Now York Central & Hudson * ~ River road, comes some very sensational rumors, and developments are awaited with deepest interest. It is sure some important arrests have been made, and the men under arrest, or surveillance, • are knights. Capt. Robert Pinkerton said: ‘•Nothing can be said now. My men did not apprehend the man, and even if they had they wouldn’t talk of the case.” It is believed ’ that the de- '■>. tectives tracked Reed, who is a wellI known railroad man, his whole family being in the business. He was tracked to Schodiaek and then to Hudson, and at night one of the detectives found hiftr in a house of prostitution. It is thought that John Kiernan, the suspected brakeman, is confined in Troy. The others may possibly be in the custody of the railroad at the depot here. The polled and railroad are taking precautions to keep their plans from the public. What connection the prisoners had with the crime can only be surmised. Their trials will be held in Rensselaer County, as the wrecK took place there. Rumor has it that three more warrants are out for suspects. A Railroad Man Scalped by Two Drunken Indians. John Wolverline, section foreman on the Northern Pacific, was knocked down and scalped by tmo drunken Indians near Hope, Wash., a few miles from Spokane Falls. Wolverline was walking on the track near the station when he was met by the two Indians, one of > . whom he recognized as John Deer. The redskins seemed considerably under the influence of liquor, and Wolvertine turned aside to allow them to pass. They stopped him, however, and asked him for liquor. He replied that he had none, when John Deer struck him over * the head witli a club, knocking him senseless. ‘When Wolverline recoveredcoiiseiousncssi some, time afterward he found his scalp missing'. Clung to His Cigar. A collision between passenger trains 19 and 20 occurred near Lockpbrt, New York, on the Central Railroad, in which Baggageman (Fiddler, of New York, was killed, and Engineer Bradley and Fireman Houston, both of Syracuse, ? were badly hurt, Bradley’s legs being brokeii. No passengers were hurt. The accident is attributed to a semaphore light going out. The trains met on a single track, and when stopped, the rear of train 20 was on the high bridge over the Erie Canal. When taken from the wreck Engineer Bradley was unconscious; but had a cigar in his mouth. Train 20 was moving slow at the time, and 19 ’cannot have bebn at high speed, as the cars did not leave the , track. The Maine Election. Chairnuin Manley, of the Republican State Committee of Maine, lias sent the following dispatch to President Harrisort: Mainehas given the largest Republican majority givijn an officer since 1866 and a larger majority than has been given a presidential contest since 1868 with the exceptions of 1884 and 1888.

In ; 1877 President Hayes appointed Mr. 'Noyes as Minister to France, which he .held until the administration of President Arthur, when ho gave way to the now Vice President Morton. Ex-Gov-ernor Noyes was a lovable man, a gallant Union soldier, and an orator few‘equals in the land. ’DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. Over Two Score of Men Killed from a Fremature Blast. A premature blast in the Northern Pacific "yards at Spokane Falls, Wash., killed fifteen men and possibly more. The full extent’of the disaster is unknown. It was just before the hour of quitting work. A large force of men was engaged in blasting out a huge rock pile in the Northern Pacific freight yards in the eastern part of the city. From fifty to seventy-five men were at work in the cut at the time. Fifteen have been taken out dead, a number injured, and still others come out alive. All is confusion, ahd it is impossible yet to get names or particulars. As rapidly as the mangled bodies are taken out - They are carried to the hospital. The company's loss will be in the neighborhood of SIOO,000. Some of the workmen were preparing blasts to be touched after the other workmen and teams had departed for the night. One blast had been prepared. In the second it was exploded, the jar also touching off the first blast. Twenty-five thousand cubic feet of rock was blown over upon the unsuspecting mass of humanity with terrible results. Hundreds of people soon gathered at the scene, and the work of taking out the dead and injured has since be.en going on. The scenes at the hospital are heartrending. The wives and the relatives of the workmen a ref crazed with grief and suspense. Later—lt is certain that forty-five menswere killed outright, and nearly three score injured, some fatally. Eighteen mangled bodies of those who perished now lie in coffins and on slabs in the several undertaking establish[ meats of the city. The bodies of twentyseven others who were working in the cut when the imitation earthquake occurred, are under a press of rock estimated at <15,000 cubic feet, and when they will be recovered is a matter of conjecture, and there is a possibility that in the attempt to get at them another frightful accident may occur. Os the seven blasts that were put in only two exploded. Mixed with the great mass of rock, beneath which the bodies are, is sufficient giant powder to blow the whole town to atoms. The amount of powder that exploded is said by survivors to be 200 pounds. This means that 500 pounds of the explosives is mixed with the mound of humanity and stone which may be exploded by the blade of a shovel or the point of a pick. Thus the work of searching for the bodies is not only hazardous, but positively dangerous, and those engaged in it are jeopardizing their ovyn lives. A CLEVELAND CALAMITY. . Electric Car Struck by a Nickel Plate Engine. Cleveland special: An electric , car was struck by a Nickel Plate engine at the crossing in this city. An eye-witness of the accident describes the scene that followed as terrible. He' says the locomotive was running at the ” rate of twenty-five miles an hour. There was no warning whistle, and the bell was not rung. The engine plowed right through the street cars, and the screams of frightened passengers rose above the crashing frames and seats of the cars. The engine was stopped as quickly as possible, but not until it had tumbled the'motor against the bank on one side and the open tail-car over the edge of the embankment on the other. The injured passengers were groaning in agony. Two sisters, Lbuise and Minnie Mock, were in the car. They both lay under the wreck. They were lifted tenderly and carried into a neighboring saloon. Both were unconscious, . but stimulants revived them'so that they were able to tell their names. Minnie’s body was. terribly crushsd and blood trickled from an ugly wound in the head. She was taken to St. Alexis Hospital and died in half an hour. Iler sister Louise was badly hurt about the head and arms, the muscles of the right forearm being torn away .from the bone. She will doubtless recover. The rescuers who responded promptly did noble work, several of the unfortunate victims being carried in the arms of men a hundred yards to the. nearest house. The wrecked cars were bespattered with blood, and the hands, faces and clothing of the rescuers were covered with the crimson fluid. About were injured, some fatally. BROOKLYN’S BLAZE. Ten Acres of Frightful Flames. Brooklyn (N. Y.) special: Fire broke put in tlie Wall about the market in this city. From the start the fire burned fiercely. A large force of firemen were called out. Tlie lire started in a big wood yard near the wall about the market, and notwithstanding..the . efforts of the tire department, the flames soon ponunnnieated to tlu; market buildings. The buildings of the market are for the most part liglit wooden affairs. They are ranged in streets. The market covers about twenty’ acres of ground. * Once at work the fire advanced rapidly along the rows of sheds, driving the occupants before it. It seized everything in its I path, and inside of haff an hour there were ten acres of flafnes, and the air was hot and heavy with heat. It was impossible to save anything. The lire department was compelled to give way before the avalanche- of flame. The fire on, and the members of the department retreated before it. The kindling wood factory belonging to Frederick Tielke burned. The flames spread to the wholesale grocery of Frederick Von Glause, then to the Delaware Oil Company’s place, and then to John J. Galvin's produce establishment. The damage is $250,000. Von Glause’B establishment was six stories in. height, and was only recently completed. Foreman ■ Merry, assistant foreman Gannen and private Schieklen were overcome by the .heat. DEMONS AT WORK. Unhung Scoundrel. Cause a Bad Wreck on an Eastern Kailroad. ."* ' Albany special: The north-bound train of eight sleeping cars well filled with passengers, known as the second section of tlie Montreal express was wrecked on the Hudson River road, about five miles below here. The train was going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. It crashed Into a pile of' Iron fish plates placed on the track to wreck the train. When the shock came three of the sleepers toppled over the embankment, Awhile others were derailed, but did not go over. News of the accident was brought to Albany by the conductor, who walked in. A wrecking train from this city reached the scene of the accident with physicians, but they found ho one had been killed and but few were injured. A number of passengers were severely shocked and some were ent with glass. All were brought here. She loss will be many thousands of dol•rs. There is no clew to the perpetrators. A Tongue Lost and Found. A little 2-year-old child of Edward Weakley, of Shelbyville; Ind., fell out of • doer on its head and cut Its tongue in ;

—m , ■■■■——a—•two near the root. Dr. Morris Drake 1 chloroformed it and sewed the tongue I back. The child may recover. Driven Like Dogs. San Francisco special: The barkentine Catherine Sudden has arrived at Port Townsend from Siberia. Her com- i mander, Capt. John Thomas, has sent to j this city a .description of the Russian i exile system as witnessed by him. He ; describes the brutal scene which he 1 witnessed on Laghalien Island, a famous < Russian exile prison. A large party of j exiles of all ages, heavily manacled, 1 were being taken to the island. A few : old men whose strength gave out fell • from exhaustion. The brutal driver, 1 acting under the orders from his su- i perior, shot the unfortunate men and 1 removed their chains. No mercy nor < discrimination was shown. Wives saw their husbands killed before their eyes; mothers saw their daughters outraged , and insulted. The exiles were driven ( like cattle, a heavy whip being used to , urge them on. lhe prison cells were filthy and the treatment barbarous. , Deadly Damp. John Dillon, a laborer, went down into a well which he had engaged to clean, ■ on the property of Kate Dillon, Hender- 1 son Avenue, West New Brighton, Staten : Island. After his being down a short ■ time and it being noticed he had stopped work, Thomas Sheehan climbed down to see what was the matter with Dillon. When nearing the bottom of the wel Sheehan was seen by the onlookers to , throw up his hands and fall heavily to the bottom. A man named Fleming ' then volunteered to go down and rescue , the two men. He edged his Way down, ( but had only gone a little way when he gave a cry, threw up his hands and fell ; to the bottom. After some difficulty ( and no little danger ropes and hooks ' were secured and the dead bodies of the ' three men were pulled to the surface, all three having been suffocated to death by foul gases. .The well is twenty feet deep. Found the Plunder. Bentleyville (Pa.) special: The money stolen at the time of the murder of the Crouch family was found secreted in an old coal mine, not far from the scene of the triple tragedy last May. The clew was obtained from the 8-year-old son of Anna Brundage, who, with the negro West, are in jail on suspicion of having committed the robbery and murder. Recently neighbors heard Homer Harvey, the reputed father of the boy, threathen to cut his tongue out if he did not keep-quiet. This aroused suspicions and the boy was induced to give up the secret, which was in effect that he had heard West tell his mother that the money was hidden in the coal mines. The amount supposed to have been in the possession of the Crouches at the time of the *murdcr was SB,OOO. The Washington County officials have taken charge of the money. » Under the Wheels. An 8-year-old son of George A. Hendrix, of Fort Wayne, Ind., met with a terrible accident, by whirh he lost both legs, and it is yet altogether uncertain as to his recovery. Kenneth and some other boys were playing at the east yards, and as a train was pulling out, the boys made an effort to jump upon the cars to take a ride. The usual and inevitable result followed. JVhile his companions made the leap in safety, Kenneth was less fortunate, for he missed his footing and fell beneath the wheels, the heavy weight passing over the boy’s legs, badly lacerating both; one above the knee and the other just above the ankle. It was found that amputa- : tion was necessary, and it is feared the sufferer will not be able to withstand the shock. Officers of Catbolle Knights. . — .

Shuey, of Evansville, Vice President; Giard Ruter, of Vincennes,Secretary; and H. H. Downer, of Terre Haute, Treasurer. The organization of the uniformed rank was perfected by selecting J. R.

The papers, including the bond of the contractors for $300,000, are in preparation. The Niagara Falls Tunnel Company first secured the' franchise in the Legislature of 1885, and since then sold it and other rights to the Cataract Construction Company, with the proviso that the undertaking be cohipleted by Jan. 1, 1892.

Mail Clerk Massey reports that as his postal car on the Big Four, was nearing Anderson, Ind., it was entered by a burly negro, who compelled him to hand over all his registered letters. The negro jumped off the. car at Anderson, dropping some of the letters, and It is thought all or most of them were recovered. The negro escaped. Plague of Kats. An evidence .of how the country around Bloomington, Ilk, isoverrun with rats is shown in the fact that the Fair Association at Atlanta, which had offered premiums for their killing, received in one day 20,984 rat tails. One man caught 4,300 on his farm aipl got the first prize. The rats,besides destroying grain', attack and kill fowls. Served Him Right. At Watervalley, Miss., Mrs. Samuel Murry, was decoyed from her home by a negro named Rogers on the pretense of trying to rescue her husband from roughs who, Rogers said’, was maltreating him.

to the scene were forced to drop tho body several times while conveying it to a neighboring bouse on i account of the mad charges of the animal. Misner in a Muddle. A special from the City of Guatemala says: Minister MizneFs friends are urging him to abandon the city if he would save his life. The followers of Gen. Barrunda threaten to kill him on sight. The failure of the attempt of Barrunda’s daughter to shoot Mizner seems only to have whetted their appetite for what they call revenge. Up to the present Mr. Mizner shows no signs of accepting the advice of his friends, to flee the city, but the almost open threats of assassination have badly frightened him and the legation is constantly guardedly squads i of policdpien. “Whoa, January!” Judge! Wilbur F. Bert, Trustee of Mrs. Grace January’s property, has sent a cablegram to a citizen in St. Louis announcing that the engagement between the wealty widow and Hon. Mr. Frewen, of England, had been broken. A provision in the will of the late Mr. January, which provided that in case of Mrs. January’s death the property, variously estimated at $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, should revert to her child or children, is said to have been so unsatisfactory to Mr. Frewen that he withdrew all pretensions to the lady’s hand. ■“ Money Burned Up. Fire, which started in a livery stable, at Hiawatha, Kan., destroyed two and one-half blocks in the business center of the city.» Among the buildings destroyed were the First National Bank building, owned by Congressman Morrill, the Odd Fellows building, the Kentucky Hotel, and a number of stores and livery stables. The vault in the bank building, containing $50,000 in currency and many valuable books and papers, gave way under the intense heat and its contents were entirely destroyed. The loss is estimated at $150,000. A Celebrated Case. Lafayette (Ind.) special: When the case of Mrs. Elma C. Whitehead, as accessory in the murder of Mrs. W. F. Pettit, was called, the Prosecuting Attorney entered a nolle prosequi and the case was dismissed. The reason given is that the evidence of witnesses out of the State is not obtainable now. The real object of the Prosecutor’s action, however, in dismissing the case was not to disclose the evidence against W. F. Pettit, who is charged as principal in the murder aud case is set for trial Oct. =B. Woolen Mill Badly Wrecked. The Riverside Woolen Mill Company’s plant at Terre Haute, Ind., was almost entirely destroyed by fire.

DOINGS OF COJ MEASURES CONS«| ACTED At the X»tion’B Xs Bete@ Dome by the Senate aSd House—Old Matters Disposed Os and Now OaeeConsidereA Mr. Balk offered the reciprocity amendment in the Senate, on the 2d, of which he had given notice on June 12, and addressed the Seriate upon it. The desirability of such an interchange of products as the amendment proposed, he sftd, had been a subject which had given rise to the closest attention, and had resulted in grave and pertinent suggestions from eminent public men of the United States during the list thirty years. Whoever had seen the gradual failing off of American trade with Central and South America and the isles of the sea must have witnessed those conditions with the greatest impatience. The people of all those countries had a common interest with the people of the United States. Alluding to the late Pan-American Congress, Mr. Hale said that it proved that the same considerations which had their influence in the Uunited States were also moving in the minds of the eminent men from the sister republics who took part in the proceedings of that congress, and that they pointed to the one sure and inevitable end —the increase of trade and commerce between the United States and those peoples. Those considerations which applied to an extension of trade and an increased interchange of products, applied not only to the nations of Central and South America, but to the islands of the Spanish Main. In the House the Clayton-Breckinridge election case was called up, but was not disposed of. A written communication from the Oswego Board of Trade contradicting a statement of the Secretary of Agriculture on the subject of the production of barley was presented to the Senate on the 3d Inst, by Mr. Evarts, who asked that it be printed in the Congressional Record. Objection to that was made, but 500 copies were ordered printed for immediate distribution. Mr. Rusk’s statement was that barley is the only cereal of which there Is not raised a sufficiency for home consumption. The denial is to the effect that the annual production of the United States is about 60,000,000 bushels, and that. the quantity used last - year for malting purposes was less than. 45,000,000. Ten million bushels had been imported from Canada —the quality being superior for malting purposes to that of the United States barley. Mr. Call offered a resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, declaring that the murder of Gen. Barrundia on the steamer Acapulco, by the authorities of Guatemala, while under the protection of the flag of the United States was an insuli to the people of the United States, and demanded prompt action by the Government of the United States for the redress of that injury and for security against the recurrence of such The tariff bill was taken up, the Sugar schedule being under consideration. In the House the Clayton-Breckin-ridge election case was again taken up, but its consideration was not finished. During the debate Mr. Kennedy of Ohio (Rep.) took occasion to denounce Senator Quay. Mr. Kennedy drew from the details of the Clayton-Breckinridge case the conclusion that a Federal election law should be enacted. He reflected severely upon the Senators who have been opposed to the Lodge bill. For himself, confident in the doctrines of the Republican party, fully committed to the principles of that party, he must forever dissent from the cowardly surrender which hauls down the flag and strikes the colors of tfie Republican party to a defeated foe. •— Immediately after the reading of the journal in the Senate on the 4th inst., the tariff bill was taken up, under the agreement limiting the discussion on each subject to five minutes for each Senator. Mr. Gibson withdrew the amendment offered by him last Tuesday to the sugar schedule (a mistake having been made in it), and he offered another amendment striking out that schedule and substituting for it the sugar provisions of the Mills bill. Some amendments making slight changes in the bill were adopted. When the House assembled, on motion of Mr. Struble. (Iowa) the Senate bill was passed to establish a port of delivery at Sioux City, lowa. Mr. Cummings (N. Y.), _. rising to a question of privilege, protested against his “blacklisting” by the famous Qannon resolution. The gentleman who offered the resolution had made imputations, and in making these imputations he had falsified the Record and blacklisted hinrself. He then proceeded to make an attack upon Mr. Cannon. He then began to arraign the Speaker and the majority of the Committee on Rules. This majority composed a triumvirate almost as powerful as the one which sprang into life after the assassination of Julius Caesar. When the House met in the morning, Mark recognized Lepidus or Octavius and nobouy else. All the legislative meat was cut and dried and distributed according to a prearranged programme. In the Senate, on the sth, when the tariff bill was taken up. Senator Davis (Rep.) offered an amendment putting binding twine oh the free list. The amendment was agreed to—ye-as, 38; nays iB. AU the Democrats exceptJ'Mr. Blodgett voted aye, in company with the following named Republicans: Allen. Allison, Cullom, Davis, Ingalls, McMillan, Manderson, Mitchell, Moody, Pierce. Plumb, Power, Sawyer, Spconer and' Washburn. The negative votes were given by Messrs. Aldrich, Blodgett, Cameron, Chandler, Dawes, Edmunds. Evarts, Frye. Hawley, Higgins. Hiscock, Hoar, Platt. Quay, Sherman, Stewart, Stockbridge, and Wolcott. Mr. Quay moved to strike out of the free list paragraph 665, “sulphate of quinia and all alkaloids or salts of cinchona bark.” The motion to strike quinine out of the free list was defeated —yeas. 15; nays, 38.- The House, by a vote of 105 to 62, declared the seat of C. R. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, vacant. Mr. Breckinridge, in speaking in his own defense, said: “Come to your conclusion, and I will take an appeal to trie people, regardless of party, in the district I have the honor to represent, on the broad ground of common honesty, and in November they will reverse both your conclusion and the method of your conclusion.” IN “A. MINER” KEY. Parts unknown—on a bald head. Raw material—remedy for a gall. Pry's money—a detective's salary Wool-in mill—a prize-fight between negroes. A preferred creditor—one who never presents his bill. Fire and brimstone left Sodom without a house and Lot. The decline of agriculture—a boy’s refusal to remain on his father's farm. While there is progress in many lines of business, banks “advance” slowly. Red is the festive color in China To paint a town that color is un-Amer-ican. In early days the schoolmaster “boarded around” himself, but heshingled the boys. While we have so many lakes in this country there is only one that is really Superior. It would seem that the proper place to cook mountain game would be on a mountain range. Pullman car porters talk of a strike. Do they want the passengers to throw in their hand baggage.
