Killed By the Cars— Trouble on the Pennsylvania System Expected—Victims ot the Flood—More Trouble in BrazlL GETTING SERIOUS.' There May Be Trouble on the Pennsylvania System. A special from I’ittsburgh, dated the 25th Inst., says: Grand Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, arrived here last night, and proceeded at once to enter into a conference with the grand officers of the firemen, conductors and trainmen, who are in Pittsburgh. Mr. Arthur is a very conservative gentleman, and desires to avoid calling off the men. He is, however, in sympathy with the demands of the engineers, and will probably Use every endeavor in his power to. induce the officials of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh to accede to the demands of the men, especially as regards the payment for overtime. A prominent railroad dfficial says: “The employes of “the Pennsylvania Company have only preo scnted these demands after long deliberation. They are very determined 1 and doubtless will have the support of their organizations. The officials of the company I think will yield several important points In preference to having the lines tied up.” The superintendent of transportation and motive .power of the Pennsylvania system continued their conference yesterday afternoon, but when they adjourned they, declined to say what had been done further than to say that they could not grant the demands of the men. It is believed, however, that they . will agree to another conference, and will make further concessions in preference to having a strike. The situation last night was decidedly serious, and is being watched with apprehension by all the shippers in the country'. , Victim's to the Flood. Kansas City special: The heavy rains of the past week up the Missouri River hits resulted in a casualty * which causc(f*the death of three and possibly live persons. The house of Frederick Warner, a fireman, stood on the edge of the river, about four miles below this city. The rain, combined with the rising' water, so undermined it that it was precipitated into the river with his whole, family, consisting of Warner, his wife • and three children, The cries of the people attracted the attention of the neighbors and they hastened to the rescue, but could be of no assistance. The bodies of Mrs. Warner and two of the children were recovered about a mile down stream, but Warner and the youngest child could not be found, and it is supposed that they were swept further down and both drowned. 110 Was Lynched. A special from Petersburg, Va., says: Some days agcGHugh Hammock, a prominent farmer residing at Melville, Nottowa County, was assaulted and robbed of $530 while passing along .a road near Blackstone, a station near the Norfolk and Western Railroad, by a negro named Bishop. Bishop was arrested and held in jail. Hammock died from the wound inflicted, and threats of lynching Bishop were made. Every effort was made by the authorities to prevent violence being done to the prisoner, but to no avail, and he was taken from the officers and hanged to the limb of a tree about a half mile from Blackstone. The negro begged piteously for his life, but the mob was deaf to his entreaties. Terrible Tragedy. ■ As a result of a bitter war between the Sunday Capital and the Sunday World, at Columbus, Ohio, W. J. Elliott, proprietor of the Sunday Capital, met- A. L. ' Osborne, of the Sunday World, on the street, and immediately opened fire. Osborne was shot through the head* and instantly killed.

Samuel McKibben, a prominent contractor' of Millford, Ind., was run down and killed by an engine on the Cincinnati, Wabash and Michigan Railroad at Warsaw, where he had been on business. Both legs and one arm were cut oflQcausing instant death. He was intoxicated, and after missing a passenger train had started to walk down the tnipktvHe was unmarried and. about 45 The Fifth ( oininiftMon. The Senate committee which has been .investigatjuig the Fish Commission and its works, lias reported that the charges against the. management of the commission are proven unfounded. The report says there is no just cause for criticism against the commission, but on the .contrary the commission is entitled to the highest commendation for its’excellent work. ClilncHo Dying by Hundreds.'. One of the contractors on the Tehuantepec Is.thmus Railroad in Mexico has arrived at San Antonio, Tex. He reports that fully 20 per cent, of the several hundred Chinese laborers who were imported to work on the road have died, not being able to withstand the change of climate. Wreck on tile B. & O. The'cast-bound express on the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Railroad ran into the rear coach of the passenger train at Remington Station, Ohio. Conductor Gallagher was badly hurt, and four passengers more or less injured. More Trout e In Brazil. Dispatches from Rio Janeiro say that affairs are again disturbed there, and that President Da Fonseca and the Government are at variance. The troops are held in barracks in readiness to suppress any actual outbreak, and no vessels are allowed so leave the harbor at Itio after 10 o'clock at night. People’s Theater at Evansville Burned. Fire totally destroyed the People’s Theater and badly damaged the Journal newspaper office, at Evansville. The total loss will probably reach SIOO,OOO. Insurance will aggregate about $60,000. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. The Grand Opera House at Rochester, N. Y., was destroyed by a fire An explosion in the furnace preceded the tiro, and before the firemen arrived the flames had made such progress that tho'building could not b • saved. The Windsor Hotel, adjoining, was badly damaged, the upper stories being destroyed and the interior gutted. The hotel was occupied at the time. The losses are: On opera house, $90,000, partially insured; on hotel, $40,000, partially injured. Upon making inquiries, Mrs. Dowel), the wife of a Philadelphia theatrical

manager, learned that “Doggy” Doyle, in jail at Springfield, Ohio, for the murder of his mother, is her brother, from whom she had been separated in infancy. While coasting at Burlington, Vt., a traverse with fifteen persons ran into a snow bank throwing the coasters in all directions. A projecting rod of a switch pierced Mrs. John Fenniff’s left eye and entering the brain caused instant death. ‘ At Wilkesbarre, Pa., the body of I Edward Gallagher was found in the Janesville mine. This is the first of the seventeen men who were imprisoned by the rush of water two weeks ago. At New York, engineer Lewis Fowler and Willjam McManus, an operator, are charged with having caused the disaster in the Fourth avenue tunnel. A disastrous fire in the cellar of a Brooklyn tenement house resulted in the death of six persons.' The building was occupied by thirty-two families, who are left destitute by the destruction of their homes. Three alarms were sent out, but before an entrance could be made to the ! building the fire had cut off all escape to the ground by means of tire staircase. The whole front of the building was covered with fire-escapes, and most of the tenants came out upon them and were taken down on the ladders which the firemen raised to the iron balconies. The loss of property reaches only $5,000. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. A farmer named Johnson, living near Monticello, Wis., on returning home, found his house burned to the ground and his two little children burned to death. His wife was away some distance after water, and know nothing of the fire until she got in sight of the burning house. • , 1 General Henry Hastings Sibley, Minnesota’s first Governor and one of the greatest fighters of his day, died at his home in St. Paul. . It would be a dis- / 'Wk flcult matter to do £>, vfli justice in any brief J , ». y-j sketch to the reJ jsL markable career of Jr-SgSr- General Henry G ast ings Sibley or to convey any ade- . *iuate idea of the veneration and esteem in which he I was held all over the f . ' vastseetion from the Wisconsin River to HENRY H. SIBLEY. th * Rocky Moun . tains. Even to this- day in the Indian fastnesses of Minnesota and Dakota the' : ‘ savage father inspires the rising chief- < tain with the name and deeds of Sibcy, and with the same name the Indian mother subdues her wayward child. General Sibley was born at Detroit. Mich., ■'eb. 20. 1811, and was the son ot Judge Solomon Sibley, a prominent. Northwestern iioneer, who was a member of the first. Leglature of the Northwestern Territory- in it-!), a delegate to Congress in 1820, Judge ■? the Supreme Court from 1824 to 1836, died States District Attorney, etc. A careless wiper in the round-house of the Cypress yards of the Missouri Pacific Railway in Kansas City, Kan., set fire to a bundle of oily waste. The ! fire spread rapidly and despite the es- I forts of the fire department consumed the ! house. There were eighteen engines in the house, and they were also destroyed. i The total loss is estimated at $175,000. | The Cypress round-house became his- | toric as the place of a siege during the Southwestern strike of 1886. A big seizure of smuggled opium was made on the steamer City of Pueblo by customs officers at Seattle, Wash. One hundred and ninety five-tael cans were captured. . - , s At Kansas City, Mo., the Union investment Company has assigned for the benefit of its creditors. The liabilities of the company arc about $1,000,000, and the assets an equal amount. William McCubbin, a wealthy and prominent citizen of Leigh, Neb., and ! well known - throughout the State, shot i anti killed his wife and his hired man, and then cut his own throat. Jealousy is said to have prompted the crime. The 12-year-old daughter of Jakob Swatski, living near Windom, Minn., passed twice through a room filled with blazing hay to rescue a baby. She was fearfully bunted, but the baby was unharmed. The people in Warren, Ind., hold the belief that the millennium is coming during the present Lent. Everything is neglected for prayer, and men are paying old debts. One woman has become insane. At Paris, Ind., two children of Mrs. Curt Blake were scalded to death. A hoy. 2 jyears old upset on himself and '9-months-old sister a tub of scalding water. They lived but a few hours. The funeral services at the burial of General W. T. Sherman at St Louis have been surpassed in imprbssiveness by but few, if any, upon this continent. The pomp and circumstance of war, the thunder of cannon, the measured tolling of bells, the presence of a multitude of 100,000 people, hushed to breathless silence in their respect for the dead, and the grief for his death —all these combined to invest the occurrence with a solemnity and awe indescribable. Father I Sherman, the General's favorite son, I read the short- Catholic burial service, I when the military took charge of the remains. St. Louis has re eived back one of her sons—the last of the great Union captains. Ar San Francisco, while entering the harbor the American ship Elizabeth went on the beach. The Elizabeth was commanded by Cap. Colcord and carried I a cargo of merchandise from New York. I She hail twenty men on board, also the captain’s wife and two children. Three sailors, the captain’s wife and children , got off in a small boat. It is thought | the rest of the vessel's crew all drowned. A life boat went to tho aid of the shipwrecked sailors, but it was capsized by the waves and the captain of the boat drtwned. The ship will be total loss. W. F. Kershaw, cashier of the-Mc-Dona d overall factory at St. Joseph, Mo., was assaulted, perhaps fatally, by | thieves during daylight and robbed of $2,500 in cash which he was to use jn . paying employes. At Butte, Mont., Stephen Lavorbni, a sick Italian, became delirious and attacked his nurse, A. Felice, with a knife, inflicting fatal wounds, He then tried to kill himself, but failed. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. A mixed passenger and freight train on the Chester and Lenoir-narrow gauge i railroad jumped the track near Newton, | N. C. The killed are: Fireman J. Hoag. i of Chester, S. G.; IL W. Morrow, of Cleveland County, North Carolina; W. | W. Ross, of Chester, S. C. The seriously injured were: Frank Coulter, Catawba, N. I’.; Conductor C. C. Dunlap, of Ches- ( ter, S. (’.; M. Johnston, Gastonia, N. C,; i Rew J. M. Little, of Dallas, N. C. A double murder was committed oh a train at Bald Knob Junction, Ark. Just as the St. Louis express on the ’Frisco road was pulling out. a passenger named J. W. Graetcr, of Vincennes, Ind., walked from the ladies’ coach into the sleeper next in the rear and deliberately shot Isador Meyer, a drummer. Then he turned tho weapon on E. W. Leach, tho Pullman conductor. Both ,

men were Instantly killed. Graeter then ■ threw his weapon out of the car window and was promptly arrested. The car was full of people, and the greatest excitement prevailed. The shooting was wholly unprovoked, and 4t is quite evident that the fellow is crazy. Willie Zinn, aged 16, and his father, were arrested for a long series of mail robberies at Wheeling, W. Va. The boy has a very small hand, which enables him to abstract letters at will from the locked private bags of. the firms by which he was employed. The south-bound Illinois Central passenger train was wrecked forty miles sduth of Jackson, Tenn. The train jumped the track and the coaches caught fire. Fortunately all ihe passengers were rescued from the burning coaches before the flames reached them. At Parkersburg, W. Va., fire broke out in a warehouse in the submerged districts, caused by the water overflowing some lime. It spread rapidly, and ten houses, including four warehouses, were destroyed. The estimated loss is over $40,000. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. The Washington Post, upon an authority which it claims editorially is next in importance to a statement by Mr. Cleveland himself, says:. Mr. Cleveland is not a candidate for renomination for the Presidency and will not allow his name to be presented to the Democratic national convention of 1892'. The President has sent to the Senate the name of Charles Foster of Ohio to be Secretary of the Treasury to succeed the late Secretary Windom. Ex-Gov. Foster was born in Ohio in 1828. He was the friend of Garfield and Hayes, and with these appeared frequently in the nominating conventions in Ohio. Be was also a conspicuous figure in national Republican politics. He was elected three times Governor of the State, beginning in 1879. besides being a Representative in the Forty-second, Fortythird, Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Congresses. Mr. Foster has had business sense enough to increase the SIOO,OOO left him by his father to a fortune estimated to amount to $5,000,000. His nomination is regarded by business mefi of both parties as a particularly wise one.. FOREIGN GOSSIP. ’ In London a receiver has been appointed for the Hansard Publishing Union, on the application of a debenture company which advanced £1,250,000 to the Hansard concern. Advices from the Caroline Islands give an account of further fighting between the natives and Spaniards, in which the latter were worsted. Billy Murphy , was knocked out in twenty-six rounds by Jim Burge at Sidney recently. Four men connected with a .bank in Moscow, convicted of frauds by which were stolen from a large number es small farmer depositors, [ have Veen to imprisonment in I the .mines of Siberia. Australian papers state that by tjic. i burning of the steamer Ramed at Wuhu 200 Chinese perished. A severe engagement was fought at Tokar, Egypt, between the Egyptian' troops, who recently left El Teb, and Osman Digma's forces. Nearly l,oco lives were lost in the battle. The Egyptians were victorious, and Osman Digma fled. . FRESH AND NEWSY. The flour output at Minneapolis last week reached 123,330 barrels, against 116,015 the preceding week. Millers report that they are doing scarcely any business: and in regard to prices of i grades for which there is any inquiry, ! buyersand sellers are far apart in their views. Reports from all over the Northwest say that the heaviest snowstorm of ,the season prevailed, the average fall being about eight inches. There was nt? wind, and consequently no drifts. Two freight trains collided at St. Hermes Quebec, completely demolishing both engines and several cars. Both engineers and the firemen were injured and one man killed. It is reported that leprosy is spreading rapidly among whites and Indians in British Columbia. The disease wasoommunieated by Chinese lepers, who are under no restraint whatever. The first great disaster in the history of the Cumberland coal-fields, Nova Scotia, has occurred, resulting in large los&ef life. It is impossible as yet to ascertain the exact number of the killed, but 117 bodies have been recovered. Ten men have been brought up alive, but terribly mutilated. They are not likely to recover. The latest information says that there were over 150 men down in the shaft of the east slope at the time of the explosion, and that there is no doubt that the loss of life will.reach between 125 and 130, and perhaps more. The | mine has been completely wrecked. Choke-damp set in immediately after | the explosion, and all the men beyond the debris where the explosion occurred are of course dead. Ventilation has been-partially restored, and it is not believed that the mine is on fire. MAKILET REPORTS. CHICAGO.

AT REST IN CALVARY. —; e HONORED BY CONQUERED AND CONQUERORS. _ * k The Last of the Great Union Captains Committed to the Grave—One Hundred Thousand People Do Him Honor—Description of the Scene. Gay him low; lay him low, Neath the clover or the snow; What cares he? He can not know — Lay him low. “Mid the thunder of cannon, the pomp of war, and ip the presence of the civil and military ‘dignitaries of the land, the Sherman funeral train rolled into St. Louis. The display moved the multitude, a hundred thousand persons gazing on the spectacle in solemnity and silence. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the grand display was the appearance of the remnant of the battle-searred legions who in their prime and vigor “marched to the sea.” To-day they are old and gray, but the old spirit prevailed. Some walked as erect as the day they left Atlanta, many were stooped by the weight of others hobbled on crutches or limped painfully along behind the bier of their beloved commander. The old guard mourned but never faltered. Other trains had arrived loaded to their utmost capacity, and about the Union Depot there was a groat crush,

' Wk -.* r» . > Jli MAJOR GENUrAL SHERMAN IN 1865.

while between that point aTicl Washington avenue the sidewalks were utterly inadequate to accommodate the crowd, which spread into the streets anti left only sufficient room for the movements of the troops. The gathering was, however, very dissimilar to those on tho festive occasions. Nearly all present wore badges commemorative of the dead hero, a deep stillness prevailed and all were impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. The division upon which most interest centered was the first, composed of the famous Seventh Cavalry, under Colonel Forsythe, and the fartillery and infantry of the regular army. The flutter of the gay red and white swallow-tailed guidons and the flash of the swords and yellow capes of the troopers as they wheeled into Pine street in double columns of coinpanies,every horse keeping alignment and proper distance, would have called forth thundering applause on an occasion less solemn. But the crowd never for an instant forgot the occasion that had caused it to gather. The grim cannon, with their large, fine horses and their perfectly equipped artillerymen, excited scarcely less interest than the cavalry. The recent Indian troubles in the Northwest had sharpened public interest, and the troops who had seen service shone resplendent in the eyes of the spectators. The bugle corps of the Seventh Cavalry led the procession, being preceded

by a platoon of police, who cleared the way. General Merritt, grand marshal of the procession, and his aides, some twenty officers of the regular army, rode at the head of Custer’s cavalry. They wore side arms, heavily bound in black. The thinned ranks of companies B and K &I. OEXERAL SHERMAN AT SHILOH. of the cavalry showed the havoc at Wounded Knee, but the six troops showed 400 men in line. The artillery and infantry passed quickly in view, and then

came the caisson on which rested the body of General Sherman. The second division, though less mar* tial in appearance, presented a picture ( no less impressive.' The Loyal Legion was in the van, followed by the Society of »the Army of the Tennessee. The third division consisted of Grand Army posts, j Sons of Veterans and allied orders. The old warriors turned out strong, fully 3,000 being in line. They came from Illinois, lowa, Kansas and over half from Missouri. Behind the Grand Army was a small body of men that attracted universal attion. In the center was a banner with the words: “Southern Historical Society.” It was the ex-Confederate Society of St. Louis. The members, prominent citizens or that city, marched with bowed heads behind the man who, of all others, did most to overthrow the cause for which they fought and lost. The fourth division was under command of Governor Francis and was made up entirely of militia. The imposing cortege reached the cemetery. The bottom of the newly , dug grave was covered with evergreen and mosses. The American flags lined the sides—flags that had a history. The floral' offerings were most magnificent. They came from all parts of the country. The soldiers formed in line east of the grave, while the family and friends of the General immediately surrounded it Tne eight sergeants transferred the

casket from the caisson to the bank cf the grave. In the shelter of an adjacent tomb Father Sherman, the dead soldier’s favorite son, hurriedly donned his priestwf WJ FROM THE CAISSON TO THE GRAVE. ly vestments and prayer book in hand, returned to the head of the grave. When the bearers placed the casket on the supports above the grave the bugles blew a call and the band played the first few

bars of Plcyel's Hymn. As tho sound died away Father Sherman removed his hat, and, opening his prayer book, began ; the impressive prayers for the repose of the soul of the dead. When the service began the battalion of infantry stood at. present arms facing the little group about the grave. In the midst of the services a hoarse, low voice gave the command “Carry arms—order arms” in quick succession, and the sharp click of the musket barrel and the ring of the butt as it struck the ground gave singularly impressive accentuation to the solemn words of the young priest. Father Sherman concluded with the invocation: “May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen!” Then, in quick succession, three volleys rang out over the grave and echoed from the surrounding hills. Three salvos from the artillery, which was stationed outside the cemetery, followed, and the fun ral ceremonies of the last of the great Union captains was over. A mission has been started in New York for married men. The first step taken by those in change should be to relieve the Benedicts of the “pale cast of thought that has sickbed” over their faces while endeavoring to make themselves believe a saloon was a lodge room. An oculist also should be brought in to fit their eyes to a dancing, dodging keyhole.
