Superintendent Darlington formally discharged the striking machinists in the Pan Handle shops at Indianapolis, and announced his intention of hiring new men.

Ha Rosou.fl an Invalid Lady from Her Barnin© UoaioLouisville (Ky.) special: Mrs. Edward Wotstclu, the wife of a wealthy farmer, had a narrow escape from death. In the morning her husoand came to this city with some stock, bringing all the farm hands but one, a colored boy, with him. Mrs. Wetstein has been an invalid for years, and cannot leave her bed. In tho afternoon tho house caught fire, and tho whole upper part of tho building was quickly a inass of Hames. Mrs. Wetstein was unabio to move. Her death seemed certain, and thofow neighbors who quickly reached the scene were too panic-stricken to furnish help. Just when she had been abandoned to her fate, a negro noy, who occupies a cabin on tho farm, ran into the house, made his wav through tho smoke and fire up the stairs, and in a few moments later emerged with tho unconscious form of Mrs. Wetstein tn his arms. He was severely scorched, but tho lady was unharmed, the boy having, with rare presence of mind, wrapped his overcoat about her head. lie carried Mrs. Wetstein down to his own cabin, and placed her upon a bed.

I ___ DYING BI THOUSANDS, Typhus Fever Sweeps Relentlessly Through the Famine Districts ot Russia. A dispatch from Pensa, the capital of the Russian Government of that name, gives additional details regarding the horrible suffering among peasants in that famine-stricken district Birds, It appears, drop dead from the cold and men arp found frozen to death along the roads. The typhus and other fevers and diseases are mowing down tho inhabitants. There are 200 dead around Pensa, and 18,000 people arc being fed by charity. A quantity of grain has arrived at the city of Penas, but owing to the fact that nearly all the horses in the neighborhood have been killed for food, there are no means of distributing it in the country districts. The dispatch says that matters are even worse in other districts, and in Samara, Sartovo, Charkov, Kazmaa, and Nijini-Novojord the inhabitants are said to be dying by -the thousands. Bloodshed on the Border. A runner arrived at Coolidge. Col., and reported that an engagement was in progress at Goodington’s ranch between the Indians and cowboys there, and that if the latter were not soon reinforced the Indians would annihilate them. Those in Coolidge left to join their associates, but the actual result of the fight has not yet been received. There is a rumor in circulation that the fight at Goodington’s is still going on; each side is in the timbers, both shooting from behind trees. The Indians were noticed carrying off their dead. During the present winter the cattle men whose ranges border the Navajo Reservation have lost a number ot cattle, stolen and killed, and the cowboys have traced the depredations to the Navajo Indians. The owners of the stock have called on the chiefs for some kind of settlement, but their demands were met with refusals. Both sides since then have been bantering each other for a fight and the cowboys finally destroyed one of the Indian houses. The Indians retalliateo by burning the out-houses on a ranch a few miles from Coolidge, and the present affair is the outcome of the bad feeling which has existed all winter. Anarchist, in Barcelona. Barcelona special: The troubles in Barcelona between the anarchists and the authorities show no sign of abatement at present, but the two or three disturbances that have occurred this week have not been serious enough to render necessary the calling out of the 10ilitary to aid the gendarmes in preserving order. Though revolver shots have been exchanged by the police and members ot the mob, nobody has been hurt except a woman, who, it is believed, had nothing whatever to do with the affair in which she was wounded. The execution of the four anarchists at Xeres is believed to have precipitated the disturbances, their friends here desiring to show their sympathy for themOver a Bridge.

Connors was last seen upon the top of the cars near the middle of the train. As he has not reported there is but little doubt that he is in the river under the cars. Saugatuck in Trouble. Kalamazoo (Mich) special: Officials from Saugatuck are here looking for the original plot of that village, which was recorded in this county in 1824.

Mr. Jennings had just drawn the money from the bank and had evidently been followed from there by the highwaymen.

No Piece Work. About fifty machinists at the Pennsylvania railroad shops in Indianapolis struck the other day when piece work was introduced. The men had been paid by the day. They claim that they will be upheld by the labor nnion. The officials of tho road state that piece work is in operation in all their shops ip the country except this one and they will not recede from this order.

A robbery of S3OO has been perpetrated at the United States pension office, Indianapolis. The money was extracted from the safe in a mysterious manner. Pension Agent Ensley was asked about it, but declined to give any information, except that the funds were not public moneys—that no Government cash is kept in ' the office.

’ oAKAtI ALIIIE/i IncAJMib. * ——— „ s s SAID TO BE DRIVEN CRAZY BY 1 SPIRITUALISM.’ ‘ ’ — I The Noted Litigant Imagines She Hoars Voices from tho Ocher World Through 3 a Handkerchief—Placed Under Gentle ; Restraint by Friends. r "" | Now a Physical Wreck. 5 Sarah Althea Terry, who gained auch i notoriety by her divorce suit against ex- . Senator Sharon and hor subsequent t marriage with Judge Terry, has become I insane over spiritualism. She has been very eccentric ever since Terry was shot down by Officer Naegle at the Lathrop eating station the moment afi ter he slapped Justice Field's face. The fact that the court hold Naegle blamoi less drove hor nearly insane, and this ! feeling was aggravated by troubles i which she had with her attorney In Fresno. She claimed this attorney made love to hor and she produced several amatory letters he had written. This enraged him, and when she called at his office to get her law papers he brutally ejected hor. To the disgrace of the Fresno courts they held that his action was justifiable. The doctor says It Is a clear case of dementia due to worry over her affairs and dabbling in spiritualism. She sits for hours in one place witffi a pocket handkerchief rolled up and placed to her ear like the holder of a telephone. She says she gets all kinds ot messages

A SI SARAH ALTHEA TF.RZT.

through this handkerchief from her friends in the spirit land, and she handed the handkerchief to a reporter who saw her and asked him if he didn’t hear whispers coming through it. She looks very old and haggard, and her pale face Is flushed with fever. Her pulse runs high, but she seems insensible to heat or cold. At night Sarah becomes very violent and calls loudly for Judge Terry and for Porter Ashe, whom she says she loves dearly, as his father was a bosom friend of Terry in early days and was Arrested and confined by a vigilance . committee for opposing them. Porter Ashe married Amy Crocker, but she secured a divorce after much scandal. He is well known on the turf, as he Is the owner of Geraldine and other fast horses. He befriended Mrs. Terry after the shooting of her husband and is about the only one of Terry’s old friends who has been able to endure her caprices. The poor woman is a physical and mental wreck, although she Is not over 40 years old. She had only a remnant of property left, Judge Terry’s estate having been heavily mortgaged and badly managed When tho Sharon divorce suit began in March, 1884, she was a remarkably handsome woman, and since then she has .been almost constantly before the public. Some months ago Mrs. Terry reported to the police that $7,000 worth of silks and laces had been stolen from her trunk. It was found that she never had any such goods. Unless her brother, Morgan Hill, intervenes she will be sent to an asylum in a few days. No intervention is probable, as she was disowned by all her relatives long ago, and, besides, her mania is of too violent a type for her to bo at large. Once handsome, in a dashing, brilliijnt way, Mrs. Terry is now a wreck in body as well as mind, and bears on her face lines that tell of fierce passions, a life of storirrnnd violence, and of bitter defeat. TO IMPROVE THE MISSISSIPPI. A Bill Appropriating 515,000,000 Approved by a Senate Goinmlttee. After hearing from engineers, officers qf the government, and delegations appointed, to lay the matter before Congress, the Senate Committee on Commerce Jias decided to recommend the adoption of a most liberal policy for the improvement of the great internal waterway furnished by the Mississippi River. It was decided that the bill recently introduced by Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, was better adapted to secure satisfactory results than any other. As it will be reported to the Senate, the bill makes an appropriation of $15,000,(10(1 for the improvement of the Mississippi River, whereof $10,000,000 shall be expended under the direction of the Secretary of War, in accordance with such plan of the Mississippi River Commission as may be approved by tho chief of engineers, to build, repair and extend the levees, dykes, and other works on the river from the passes to the mouth of the Ohio and for the payment of the salaries and expenses of the commission. There is a proviso that not more than $2,000,000 of this appropriation shall be expended, in any one year; that It shall not be expended longer than the State 1 and local authorities continue their present contributions for levee improvements; and that none of the money shall be used for the purchase of sites for levees or damages for their construction. The second section of the bill 'provides that $5,000,000 of the appropriation shall be expended by the Secretary of War on the same section of the river, in accordance with the plans of thechief of engineers, the yearly allotments not to exceed $1,000,000. The bill commits Congress to the levee system of river improvements. It was reported to the Senate by Senator Gibson, its author. Mazcnlinltte!. The wrath of brothers is the wrath of devils. The recording angel never strikes a balance on his books by what is said of • man on his gravestone. Albinus, the Roman, at one breakfast ate 500 figs, 100 peaches, 10 melons. 100 small birds, and 400 oysters. No matter what its profession may be, the love that halts and turns back when it sees danger coming is a sham. The man who begins by walking arm-in-arm with the devil will soon have to carry the old fellow on his back. A French officer has invented a hippometer which will register the paces and ground covered by a horse. If some mpn could only be convinced that it pays to be good, they couldn’t be kept out of the church with a gun. Every man who does not. labor and lay-up a fortune may cause absolute suffering to his daughter’s future husband. Napoleon, like everybody else, had his likes and dislikes. He was fond of sensational novels and abhorred cats. The Shah of Persia has more than $35,000,000 worth of omamentls, gems and precious stones in one strong room. soxl4.
