Collision ol Two I'rviglii Trains on tho It. &' <>. Railroad. Zanesville. •((>,) sspci-ialp' A most frightful Wreck occurred on the Baltic more and Ohio Railroad near Pleasant Valley’ 0.. a short distance, west of this city. Orders were given east and westbound freights to pass at Blackhand, but Operator Kccly at. that place failed to deli ver- the order to the east-bound train. Too late he realized the terrible mistake he had made and ' instantly wired the operator here that there would --soonbea wreck. 'Die fellow is a mere bby and he must have then left his post, for he has not been found since, and his place is deserted. Both engines ano a number of ears filled with oats, coke and merchandise were piled up In the greatest confusion, as a result of the terrific crash with which they met. ? ‘Eight racn are reported killed. Those not employed on the lirain were ft

, ! beating their way from , I were caught between the cars. The trains met on a sharp curve and the ea st " | bound train had just emerged fro' 11 piece of woods, so that richer had time to check thefr speed in the ’ They were runriing at more than the average speed, and the engines darted into each other with a force and crash that was terrific. The cars to the number of twenty oramore at once piled up to the height of thirty feet. Immediately they met,. the survivors say an a"ful chorus of groans and shrieks arose from the wreck? CARRYING SHILLALAHS. Friend* of O’Brien and Dillon Attend Their Trial and a Bloody Riot EnsuesDublin'special: A large number of the members of the Irish Nationalist party were in attendance upon the trial of Messrs. O’Brien and Dillon at Tipperary. The court room in which the trial was held was crowded to its utmost capacity. Thousands of spectators, friends of and sympathizers with the prisoners, went to Tipperary carrying shilJalahs. Just before the hour for calling the cases, the crowd outside tfie Court House had grown to prodigious proportions, and the police was called upon to prevent the coming into the building of any except those especially interested in the proceedings. In carrying out these instructions the police charged upon the crowd, using their batons freely. For at least five minutes there was a regular stand-up fight between tin 1 crowd and police. Finally tho crowd gave way, and the police succeeded in maintaining , a clear space in front of the Court House. , During the march three cheers were . given for John Morley by the large I crowd, which exasperated the police, who i charged on them to force Hie*escort to j move forward. John .O'Connor warded j off a blow from a policeman's club that I was aimed at Mr. Morley. Tin- Court f House was reached without further trou- > ble, the streets in the vicinity being | crowded with sympathizers? Mr.tWilliam O'Brien first refused io cuter the building unless the general public was freely admitted, but Im finally went in Bitterly complaining, of the bru- ‘ tality of the police. One, of the oflieers iii the rush struck’ Commoner llarrjngton, , severely wounding him. Another strtick Mr. Halifax, who caused a.sensation by appearing in court, bleeding freely from a' scalp wound, the blood ; running down over his face and neck' | and completely saturated tin 1 collar of j his coat. One man was struck' in the face by a policeman's baton and had his | teeth forced down his throat. Several I persons were sb badly injured in the i melee lliat they were,' Obliged to callsurgical aid. John Morley entered the court greatly agitated, and appealed to dim bench to prevent such brutal and tvanton batoning. Both Mr. Morley and Mr. Dillon appealed to Col. Cadell to allow, the public free ingress. This was percnip : torily refused, but ultimately the doors; were thrown open, and fhl‘ general public allowed to cuter. • ‘ — /■ SCHWAB’S SCIIE.MI-:. Imprisoned Anarchist Attempting to Get Ont of the I’enitentiai-y by Habeas Corpus. ? Chicago special: Judge Gresham has notified Attorney General Hunter to ’ show why a writ of hal>eascorj>us should I not issue for the. release of Michael Schwab, the imprisoned anarchist, from tho penitentiary. I’roceeding relates'to Schwab alone, but as the claims made by the relatives are equally applicable to Oscar Necbe and Samuel Fieldon, the writ of habeas corpus, if issued, will also apply to them. That it must be issued according to a strict eonstrnction of the law is the opinion not, only of Attorney Moses Solomon, but of his associate in l!lie cUAI.MIff. 81.B 1 . f. Mfr, ture is appended to the original petition and who lias approved each step taken in Hie matter. The petition asserts that the detention of Schwab in the penitentiary is in violation of the laws and constitution of the United States and State of Illinois and is without sufficient authority for the reasons that cx-Governor Oglesby's order of commutation was nofi j directed to Warden Berggren; that it ; does not authorize Berggren to detain 1 Schwab in imprisoninent: that it doesl not authorize his imprisonment in any | penitentiary in the State; that it does L not giye authority to SlierifT Matron to ; deliver Schwab to Berggren; that it does 1 not impose, the condition that Schwab bo kept at hard labor, and. finally, that contrary to the constitution of the commutation, does not run in the name of the people as provided by article 66, section 33: “All process shall run in the name of the peq]ile of the State of Illinois.” •' Cincinnati Boocllers Fall Out Over a Division of the Spoils. One of tho most remarkable suits ever | filed in Cincinnati isone brought by An-! drew T. Moonert, now of Chicago, against i W. N. Forbes, of Cincinnati, to recover ‘ 52,100. The petition ijself docs, not diix I close its nature', be JSfc,Timpiv an asser- ' tion that Forbes, as agpnt for Moonert, I received this money in December and j .January last, but had refused to pay it i over on demand. ‘The nature of the | ageneyjs explained by Moonert's ney, who says that at the time mentioned Forbes was President of the Board of .Councilmen of Cincinnati and Moonert was a member of the board and Chairman of the committee to which Was referred an ordinance granting a valuable “franchise to the ThompsonHouston Electric Light Company. 'Die attorney says that-Nfi-. Clark, acting as" agent of the Thompson-Houston Cohi'’piiny. deposited with Forbes a large sum of money to be used to influence the committee of which Moonert was Chairman to art favorably on the ordinance, ias well as to secure, the votes of the othi-r members for it. The assertion is that Forlics refused to pay to Moonert ills proper,share. Thus tilt; spectacle is presented of the court being called upon to compel violators of the law to divide equally their illegally obtained inom-y. Os course the trial of the case will develop the evidence upon which Moonert buses his claim, but it is said that it is likely that lie has been tho victim of pra'nkish friends who have persuaded him that he has been defrayed by Forbes. SETTI.ERS SCALPED. The Hair of Two Hitniirred Lifted by Itect Men. Deliver (Col.) special: Sensational reports pave been received herfiTNjfrom Mullen, Ida., that settlers withiiim radius of fifty iniJes had organized for tlm purpose of. wiping out of existence the Nez Perces Indians, who for months l>ast have amused themselves by burning towns, scalping the innocent and outraging defenceless women. Several days ago over two hundred were scalped near Mullen. The band was composed of those who took part in the Nez Perces massacre of 1877, and Were camped near the scene of the first outrage of that year. They had 400 ponies, many squaws and pappooses and several painted warriors. They claim that the whites have no right to that country and they requested them to leave, •, as this was their camping ground before they were/removed to the reservation at La Piva, not far from Ldwiston. The settlers in Camais Prairie, in North Idaho, where in 1877 the great depredations were committed, fearing another uprising might occur, have now organi

j ized, and the first unfavorable report f rea ches them will put an end to any further depredations on the part of the i Indians. Virginia Honor. > £<exington (Va.) special: Two cadets [ in tire Virginia Military Institute, War--1 u- 11 Taliaferro, of Virginia, and Frank . «. McCommico, of Texas, had a fisti- ’ j f. rotn the effects of which Taliaferro died shortly afterwards. There was some point of honor at stake and the two , young men, aged respectively 16 and 18, repaired to one of the society halls, serri e< 7- their seconds and made a ring, i fight lasted about half an hour. ( laliaferro went to his room with his nose bleeding, went to sleep and never awoke again. Opinion seeins to be that nothing can be done to McCommieo before any jury hereabouts, as the two were evenly matched as to size and the fight was fair. McCommieo, however, was arrested and bailed. It is learned from a trustworthy source that McCommicowasso badly injured that he has been speechless and unconscious since the fight. ’ Important Decision. St. Louis special: Justice Miller, of the United States Circuit Court has rendered an important decision on the question of copyright for Webster's unabridged dictionary. The case was that of Homer Merriam against the Halladay Publishing Company. The complainants are owners of the copyright of 1884, and are successors of the original publishers of the dictionary, which was issued in 1828. The extreme ! life of a copyright is forty-two years: so, , in 1889, Henry Q. Allen & Co., of New ; York, Loomis & Co., and Ogilive & Co., jof Chicago, issued photo-lithographic j copies of the 1847 edition. These reprints were sold for one-fourth the price iof the latest edition. The Merriams i brought suits in several States, and after i exhaustive arguments Judge Miller dej elded in favor of the defendants. Went on Their Way Rejoicing. A romance dating back thirty-five years culminated in a happy marriage at Chattanooga, Tenn., the parties being George W. Clotz. of Buffalo. N. Y.. and Mrs. Crook, of Galena, 111. In 1855 they became , engaged and .the young man went west to seek his fortune. Failing at first, he ceased to write, but suei i'ed- ; ing at last, went east to redeem his I promise and found on his return that the ■ lady had married.. Since then the matI rimonial partner of each died and the I survivors had not seen each other until j the other day. when the gentleman, eni route to Florida, and the lady to Atlanta. met in Cincinnati. - Mutual explanations followed, the love of their youth was renewed and in Chattanooga they were made husband and wife and went on their .way rejoicing. Great Trouble Looked for Among the Indians. Captain Trimbleton, of the - ” Tenth United States Cavalry,-commandant at Fort Sill, passed through Pittsburgh cently. He says that the greatest Indian uprising of recent times is sure to come soon. 'Die Indians, he says, have got the idea that thi' Great Medicine Man is coming soon to wipe out the whites and restore them to the ownership of the country. The result is that ■they have entered with other fanatics i upon a series of incantations and ridiculous orgies. The 5,000 Indians about Fort Sill renoun'ced Christianity, and he is certain that in a short time somebody m ill pretend to be. the expected Great Medicine Man. and then trouble will begin. He thinks all the United States garrisons should be doubled. Narrow Escape. Chicago special: Fifteen persons narrowly a cold batjh //ossibK ’CWftnoy drffJWi'l'i'i'g in the river on Clark street, early the other morning. Tile night car of the Lincoln Avenue line tumbled over the north approach to the bridge into the cold waters, shortly before one o'clock. The conductor, seeing that a serious accident was imminent, called to the passengers te save themselvt's, and jumped from the flying car. The passengers juinued from the doors and windows, and fairly ( limbed over each other in their haste to get out. and with rare good luck all succeeded in reaching the streei before the car took a tumble. The driver. Sehandein. jumped when the horses were plunging over the brink of the approach. Both horses were drowned. A Virginia Srandal. Roanoke (Vaj, special: J. B. Otnerra lias caused the arrest of J. .1. Keely, for assault arid threatening his life, and of father .1. W. Lynch, pastor of the St. Andrews’ Catholic Church, as an accessory. The trouble arose through a scandal which Oincrra had made public concerning Keely and a young lady of father Lynch’s church. The priest arranged for a meeting to which Omerra came, not knowing Keely would be there. At the meeting Keely forced a written retraction from Omerra. at the pointbf a revolver, telling him lie must j sign or die. Keely admits the assault, but denies the priest's eohilcction with i it. Keely was lined $25 and bound over Ito keep tiie peace. Tile, case against the 1 priest will be heard later. Attempted to Wreck a Train. Another cowardly attempt was made at Maximo, near Alliance, 0., to wreck the limited going west. One rail had been dragged partially .across the track and others were ready. A two horsefarm wagon had also been placed on the track. A freight came along unexpectedly and surprised "them before they had succeeded in their purpose, knocking the wagon into kindling wood. The rail was pushed ahead of the engine and oil the track. This is the fourth attempt at this place. Those implicated in the first three attempts are in the penitentiary. Women at tlie Polls. At the school election at Binghampton, N. Y., over 500 women cast their ballots, the largest vote of womfcn ever polled. Active electioneering was indulged in by many of the ladies and several leading society women voted, The wife of one candidate drove around in her carriage all day, bringing women to the polls to vote for her husband. In some districts Ihe majority of voters were women and I in thd whole city nearly as many women as men yoted. The good order which flic attendance of women at the polls produced was generally cStamented on.

Jnent of the new anti-lottery law. A / number of questions have arisen in regard to the construction of the law ' especially as to tho right to mail back ’ ( nftmbers of newspapers containing lot’tcry advertisements, printed prior to the passage of the law, also whether a 1 Canadian newspaper containing lottery advertisements printed can be delivered 1 in this country through the mails.
