®VENT» AND INCIDENTS THAT HATE LATELY OCCURRED. An Interesting Summary of the More Important Doings of Our Neighbors—Weddings and Deaths—Crime, Casualties and General News Notes. Miami County Farmers’ Institute. The forst regular meeting of the second year of the Miami County Farmers’ Institute met at the Court House at Peru, and was a success in regards to numbers, enthusiasm, and practical benefits. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, •Joseph Cunningham; secretary, Lewis 3ond; treasurer, J. B. Joyce. Sixty new names were enrolled, showing an average age of 70 years. In the old pioneer class Samuel Phillabaum was awarded an elegantly mounted farm scene as the oldest farmer in Miami County, aged 83 years. The order of the exercises consisted of a solo by Miss Gertrude Bearss; a paper on “The Value of a Good Dairy,” by N. B. Hoover, of Mexico—discussion by A. J. Phelps, of Bennett’s Switch. “Corn Culture,” by Jonu Blair, of Peru discussion, by Lewis Bond; “Noxious Weeds and Grasses and their Effects upon Crops, and the Best Modes of Exterminating Them,” by D.

Queer Mixture of Relationship. There lives in Union Township, Clark •County, a family who can boast of the most curiously complicated relationship. Home years ago a widower named Morgan, who had a grown son, married a widow who had a grown daughter. After a while he and his wife secured a divorce. His son then fell in love with his father’s divorced wife, and he married her. The father got married to the daughter of the woman from whom he had been divorced. Each couple has children, and the two families are terribly mixed as to their own relationship. The old man is his own father-in-law and brother-in-law of his son, and the step-father of his wife, while the son is father-in-law of his father, his own step-son, step-father of his step-mother, and so on. The relationship of the children who are the issue of the last marriages is too complicated for any one to puzzle his head over. Southern Indiana Press Association. The Southern Indiana Press Association composed ot the editors and publishers of Southern Indiana, met at Seymour, and organized by the election •of the following-named officers: President, Chas. G. Sefrit, of the Washington Gazette; Vice Presidents, K. A. Brown, of the Franklin Republican, and James P. Applegate, of the New Albany Ledger; Secretary, Findley S. Collins, of the Seymour Democrat; Corresponding Secretary, F. B. Hitchcock, of the Bedford Mail; Treasurer, Isaac T. Brown, of the Columbus Republican. The association is non-partisan in character. The next regular meeting will be held at Washington, Ind., the second week of next May. Residence Saved by a Woman’s Impulse. While at dinner ex-Attorney General Daniel P. Baldwin and wife, of Logan- " Sport, were discussing the Stttdebaker fire at South Bend. Like most women who take an interest in home affairs, Mrs. Baldwin was much concerned about the fire, and fearful lest such a disaster might befall her own home. She told Mr. Baldwin that she would go up stairs and ascertain, if all was secure in the upper chambers. Upon reaching the second floor she was appalled to find the house filled with smoke. The fire had originated from the gas pipes, but was extinguished after considerable effort. Mr. Baldwin had his right hand quite severely burned. Minor State Items. —The cooper shop of James Nichols, at Terre Haute, largest in the State, was destroyed by fire. —Edward Long was poisoned at Columbus by drinking cider from a zinc bucket, and may die. —At Shelbyville ’Squire Beynou, a well-known Justice of the Peace, was found dead in his bed. —Fifteen,thousand bushels of apples have already been shipped from Steuben County.

Three of them fell on Everett Gibson, injuring him so that he died in a short time. —While the little daughter of Hiram Birch, of Standard, Monroe County, was eating an apple, a fragment lodged in her throat, and she choked to death in two minutes. —Mrs. Matilda Morrow, east of Montpelier, lost her barn, two horses, corn, hay, and all her farming implements by fire. Loss, $3,000; insured for SBOO in the Home of New York. Cause of fire unknown. —At Metamora, Col. J. J. Bubottom and his aunt, Mrs. Lavia Bubottom, were out driving, when their horse became frightened and went over an embankment, and very seriously, if not fatally injured Mrs. Bubottom. —Allen Jones, while working at the wooden-ware factory in Martinsville, was hit in the stomach by a Dlock which had caught in the machinery. He w s quite seriously injured, though the physicians think not fatally. —James Downey, the oldest teamster in Evansville, while leading his mules out of an alley, stepped backward into a distance of fifteen, feet, sustaining internal injuries.- He is 70 years of age, and there is no chance for his recovery. —A 6-vear-old son of Aaron Crawford, of Milton, was caught by the branches of a falling tree, chopped down on the farm of W. L. Lamberton, near Bentonville, and seriously bruised. He escaped death from the falling trunk by but a few inches. —Henry Finklehorn, a painter, who recently came from Chicago, fell through a scaffold at the new Presbyterian Church, at Fort Wayne, a distance of forty feet. He received a fracture of the skull, and will probably die. He has a large family in Chicago. —Bev.

The old price was $25. Under the old law the revenue derived was $2,150 per anuum; under the new, if all continue in business, it will be $21,500. —On a farm owned by Dr. D. H. Coombs, in Utica Township, Clark County, a curious find was made. David Bush was employed to fell a poplar tree of unusual size, and as it struck the ground one of the large limbs broke off. In the heart of it a deer’s antlers, a cow’s horn and a number of curious shells were found. How the articles got there is a mystery. Near the same spot some time ago an iron arrow, evidently made by primitive methods, was found imbedded in a tree, twenty-six inches beneath the bark. Dr. H. D. Bogers, of Charlestown, has the arrow in his cabinet. —As Mrs. Sipe and Mrs. Austin were driving across the Monon crossing at the north edge of Frankfort, a northbound passenger train struck them, killing the horse instantly and seriously wounding the ladies. Mrs. Sipe received, besides severe bruises, a fracture of the left arm. She is about seventy years of age. Mrs. Austin a younger woman, received several scalp wounds, a fracture of the skull in two places, left leg broken, and other injuries of a less serious nature. She will probably die. The accident happened in a level open place, but the horse took fright just as he reached the crossing and could not be gotten off in time. —The Common Council of Peru is taking a determined stand in the matter of a probable pollution of the Wabash Biver water from refuse and poisonous substances to be injected therein by the Diamond Match Company’s works at Wabash. Tho ground is taken that the water will be unfit for use and detrimental to the city’s health. To properly ascertaintheifacts in the case, committees have been appointed. One committee reports an analysis of water taken from Wildcat creek, at Kokomo, where similar works are located, showing it to be a deadly poison to all animal life. The investigation will be rigid, to prevent any evil results to the people through contaminated water.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS RENDERED BY THE COMMISSION. • The Rule Regarding Shipments of Cattle In Car Lots—Throngh Rates and Mileage Regarding Shipments of Lumber from the South by Ball and Water. The inter-state commerce commission has rendered three important decisions. In the oase of Lenord and Chappell against the Chicago and Alton railroad the commission decides thwt carriers can rightfully substitute for the practice of charging carload rates on cattle, irrespective of weight, the rule that while a carlot is named a minimum weight for a carload is prescribed, and any excess over the minimum is to be charged for by the hundred pounds in proportion to the carlot rate. The complainants urged the commission to conform to the State laws and rulings of Kansas and Missouri State commissioners under which shippers of cattle to points within the State had the right to load cars without regard to weight at a stated price a car. The commission held, however, that State action could not De allowed to control in matters within the Federal jurisdiction, and that the grant to the Federal government of the power to regulate inter-State commerce is full and complete and can not be narrowed or encroached upon by State authority either directly or indirectly. In an opinion on the case of McMorran Harrington, grain dealers at Port Huron, Mich., against the Grand Trunk and the Chicago & Grand Trunk roads, Commissioner Schoonmaker says: “Though rates are not required to be made on a mileage basis, nor local rates to correspond with the divisions of a jotht through rate over the same line. Mileage is usually an element of importance, and due regard to distant proportions should be observed in connection with the other considerations that are material in fixing transportation charges.” The complaint tha tan 8-cent rate on grain from Port Huron to Buffalo was unreasonable as compared with a through rate of 15 cents a hundred pounds from Chicago to Buffalo was not sustained, but no good reason having!/ )e ®n shown for a higher rate on grain products that portion of the complaint is sustained and the products ordered to be carried at the sam3 rate as grain. Commissioner Morrison in deciding the case of Abbott against tha East Tennessee railroad, which is charged with illegal discrimination in lumber rates from Tennessee points to Boston, says: “Combined rail and water competition at a longer distance point does riot justify a greater charge for the shorter distance, while the shorter distance point is maintained by the carrier at points where tho competition is of greater force and mora controlling than at the longer distance point; such greater charge is not justified by the fact that local rates have been first paid on lumber to the longer distance points, nor by the fact that the freight is shipped in cars from the longer distance points which brought machinery to those points and for which profitable return loads were not always to be had, nor by a difference in the bulk and value of the lumber when the published rate sheets put the lumber in the same class and at the same rate. “While distance Is not always a controlling element in determining what is a reasonable rate there is ordinarily no better measure of railroad service in carryirg goods than the distance they are carried; and when the rate of freight charges over one line in sending freight carried from a neighboring territory to the same market is considerable greater than oyer other lines for distances as long or longer such greater rate is held to bo excessive and should be reduced.”

RERATING PENSIONS.

The Mnnderson Case to Be Taken as a Precedent by Secretary Noble. Secretary Noble says that his decision in the rerated pension case of Senator Manderson may be regarded as a precedent in a number of other similar cases. Senator Manderson. however, occupied a somewhat different position from the majority of pensioners recently rerated, the increased pension having been allowed him without application or knowledge on his part. There are about thirty employes of the pension office whose pensions have been rerated. In some instances this rerating was done upon their application and in other cases it was done without their knowledge. Some of these cases were allowed by Commissioner Tanner while they were on appeal before the Secretary of the Interior. The present acting commission**, Hiram Smith, was rerated, hut it is understood that he made an application to that effect and that the legal requirements were complied with. There are others in the pension office as well as outside, whoso pensions were rerated and who received arrearages from $6,000 to $15,000, and under this ruling in the Manderson case all are characterized as being illegal It is thought that the new commissioner of pensions will have this question to consider among the first duties which he will be called upon to perform. The commissioner has the right to recover ail money illegally paid on account of pensions, and in cases where the arrearages have already been expended the government can confiscate all pension payment. It is said to be the desire of the Secretary of the Interior to enforce as far as practicable the collection of the money, and that active measures will be adopted as soon as a commissioner of pensions has been appointed. Some of the employes of the pension office whose pensions wer® rerated have left the government service since the action in their case was taken. The great majority are still in government employ, and, of course, it will be comparatively easy to compel a repayment, providing they have not spent the money. In such an event the government could levy upon their salaries as well as their pensions.

Disastrous Floods In the Tyrol.

The floods in the Tyrol have increased, causing enormous uamage. In consequence of the floods Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria has been obliged to postpone his journey to see the Empress at Meran. Owing to the illness of “Johnny” Reagan his fight with joung Mitchell in the California Athletic Club on Oct. 29 has been declared off. B-ajan forfeits his deposit of $250. __

FELL DOWN AN INCLINE.

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AT A CINCINNATI TRAMWAY. A Loaded Car Hur>l from Top to Bottom of the Steep Grado-Flve Instantly Killed and a Number Badly Injured. At Cincinnati, a car on tha Mount Auburn inclined plane at the head of Main street, which rises between 230 and 300 feet in a space of perhaps 2,000 feet, became unmanageable, rushed down the plane, and was dashed to pieces. Eight persons were locked up in the car, of whom five were killed and all of the others badly hurt The dead are: Judge William M. Dickson, aged 63, Michael Kneiss, Mrs. Caleb Ives, Mrs. Mary G. Errett, and Joseph McFadden, Sr. The wounded are: Mrs. Agnes Hostetter, Miss Lillian Oskamp, fatally, Joseph McFadden, Jr., seriously, George Miller, fatally, and Joseph Huette, aged 14, badly cut. Several other persons who were near the scene of the disaster were hurt by flying fragments. Miller was standing on the corner of Mulberry and Main streets and was struck by the roof of the car. He is still unconscious. Huette was badly cut about the legs by flying fragments of the car. There are two tracks upon the inclined plane, over which two cars are drawn—one ascending and the other descending—by two steel-wire cables wound around a drum by an engine at the top of the hill. The ascending car having reached tho top of the incline, Charles Goebel attempted to forco down the lever which shuts off the steam and stops the engine. For some reason the apparatus refused to work, and the car rushed on upon the iron railing. Goebel bent all his strength upon the lever, but it failed to bulge. On the car rushed madly with the tremendous Dower that drew it on. The iron work pierced deep into the wood flooring, and still the cable tugged. Finally, with a grating noise, the cable slipped from tho brasaclamps that held them, the bolts that secured them opened, and the car was free. The passengers unconscious of the doom impending, were about to step from the vehicle as it shot dowhward on its mission of death. The passengers, who had arisen, fell together on the flooring of the car. Down the plane of several hundred feet it shot, and, plunging fiercely upon the railing at the bottom, dashed it to pieces. The car struck, shot far out upon Main street, and was shivered into a thousand fragments. The iron gate that formed the lower end of the truck on which the car rested was thrown sixty feet down the street. The top of the car was lying almost as far away in the gutter. The truck itself and the floor and seats of the car formed a shapeless wreck, mingled with the bleeding and mangled bodies of the passengers. Mrs. Ives was dead when taken from the wreck. The others named in the list of killed died of their injuries soon after. The intensest excitement prevailed and numberless inquiries were made by friends who feared members of their families might be in the fated car. The horror of the passengers locked in the other car and compelled to await the coming of the doomed car and its inevitable crash beside them at the foot of the track may be imagined. Judge Dickson, who is among tho dead, was one of the first of the wounded to die. He was a retired lawyer, and had been a warm personal friend of Abraham Lincoln. He was crushed, and his head and face were cut He was conscious when taken from the wreck, but unable to talk. Mr. Kneiss was a tea-her in the third intermediate school, and lived at 14 Euclid avenue. Mount Auburn, with his family. He was on bis way home to dinner. His body was badly disfigured and was removed to the morgue. Mrs. Ives was the wife of Caleb Ives, treasurer of the Globe soap works at 35 Water street, and lived at Riverdale. She was on her way to visit her son, Franklin Ives, and his bride. Her neck was broken. Joseph McFadden, Sr., was a stone cutter of 110 Sannders street, Mount Auburn. Miss Oskamp is the daughter of Henry Oskamp. Charles Goebel, who was at the lever and had the unspeakable horror to find himself unable to stop the engine, says that he complained that the “cut off” was not working properly. “I told the engineer about it this morning,” he said, “and the engineer told me he had repaired it. But it was evidently still out of order, and this must have been what was the cause of , the accident. ” Engineer Howard Worden could not be found, although this is not to be considered as evidence that he is hiding. The inclined plane on which the disaster happened is the oldest in the city. It was built twenty-one years ago, and this is the first accident attended with the loss of life at any? of the four inclined planes that are in almost constant use. It is too early for an examination into the trouble with the engine, but there have been only two similar cases in the history of inclined planes here. In both the others the engine was got under control before the cables were broken. James M. Doherty, secretary of the company operating the Mount Auburn inclined plane, says that the cause of the accident was a little piece of iron in the cut-off valve and was found the next day after the mi hap by the men who had taken the machinery apart How it came there no one yet knows. It was not broken off any of the surrounding machinery as far as has yet ’ been ascertained. By occupying a space required for the rod to move in it so disarranged the machinery as to render it impossible for the engineer to shut off the steam.

FIFTY MINERS KILLED.

Terrific Explosion in an English Colliery. London dispatch: An explosion has occurred in the Mussfield colliery in Staffordshire. The day-shift workers had come on duty and tne mine was full of men. Fifty are known to have been killed and many more are in peril. The explosion was a terrific one, the shock being felt miles away. Many thought an earthquake had visited that part of the country. Immediately after the great ditaster occurred the opening at the mine was besieged by wives and relatives of the killed and entombed men, and there were many heartrending scenes. It was with difficulty that some of the frantic women with babies in their arms were prevented from throwing themselves down the shaft.

VILLAINY IN MONTANA.

REPUBLICANS ATTEMPT TO STEAL THE STATE. \ They Throw Out a Strong Democratic Precinct and Claim the Legislature The Chief Conspirator a fugitive —Demo*' crats Resist the Fraud. [Helena (Mont.) special.] The Republican canvassers in Silver Bow County have undertaken to steal the Montana Legislature and thuß secure the election of two Republican members of the United States Senate from this State. The votes cast bv the people gave the Democrats a majority of 5 on joint ballot, with one member a tie, and the rank and file of the Republicans have for nearlv two weekß accepted the result as settled. To-day the Board of Canvassers of Silver Bow County tried the dangerous experiment of throwing out a precinct which gave a Democratic majority of, 175 votes, by which action the entire legislative ? legation of eleven members in that county V.. declared Republican and the Legislature made present an apparent majority for the Repub_«rtms on joint ballot. Judge DeWolfe was asked to-night to issue a writ of mandamus to compel the canvassers to count the vote of the rejected precinct, and cited the canvassers to appear before him Nov. 4, the first day of court, and show cause why the vote of the contested precinct should not be counted. Members of the Democratic State Committee say they have the law of the territory on their side, as the Supreme Court several years ago decided a case of the same kind, holding that if tho votes were legally cast the fact that a less numl>er of jndges than those provided by law presided at the election did not vitiate the returns. They feel confident an order will b® issued by DeWolfe compelling the canvassers to couut tho vote as tho returns show it should b® counted, giving them ten members of the Silver Bow Legislative delegation. The grounds upon which the Republican canvassers are attempting to introduce Louisiana methods into the territory even before it has become a State by throwing out votes in Silver Bow County are that there were three instead of five judges, that clerks were excluded from the count of the vote and attached their oertifl. cations after the result had been ascertained by judges and without their personal knowledge of the accuracy of that to which they certified, that returns showed more votes counted than polled, and that the count was conducted by three judges in secret. The notion of the canvassers is denounced by Democrats and honest Republicans alike as an ottempt to overcome the majority, which must not bo allowed to succeed if a republican form of government is to ba maintained. The objections raised are purely technical and without a shadow of justice. No claim of fraud is made. Tho Democrats say they will see the Legislature is organize 1 as the votes of thepoople show they desire it to be. A gentleman who was present at tho hoarlug In Butte says the Democrat lo lawyer, Judge McConnell, brought the judges of election, two of whom wero Republicans, aud tho ballot-boxes before the board, and agreed if those judges said there was any fraud or if the ballots did not show the Democratic majority claimed he would leave the oase. Thia did not make any difference, as at the conclnsion of the hearing the Chairman of the Republican committee, a lawyer named Campbell, who represented tho Republicans at the nearing, went into a room with the Chairman of the Canvassing Board and dictated the decision which threw the Democratic precinct out. Even such a strong partisan as Judge Blake, an appointee of President Harrison, and who waa elected Chief Justice at the late election, says the Board of Canvassers had no right to do more than oertify to the vote as returned by the judges, aud that the throwing out of a precinct is altogether beyond their powers. Great excitement prevails hero to-night and is reported at various points throughout tho Territory. Democrats are furious and Republicans who are not professional politicians are equally indignant. The aotion of tho canvassers is commended only by the office-holders and those who expect to profit by the steal if it is allowed to go through. A great deal of money was sent into the State previous to the election by the Republican Committee, and the accusation is freely made to-night that a part of it has been employed to accomplish the nefarious robbery undertaken in Silver Bow County to-day. The Democratic State Committee have Issued a statement and protest in regard to the action of the canvassers. A few irregularities were discovered in the Second Precinct in Helena, which gave thirty Democratic majority, and the precinct may be thrown out. Thiß will not affect the result on the legislative ticket, but may elect two more Republicans on the county ticket. The canvassing board is composed of two Democrats and one Republican. It is Bald to-night the Democrats will to-morrow file contests against several Republican precincts in this county. An interesting complication will probably ensue over this matter. Without Silver Bow County the Republicans would control both branches of the Legislature, and should the Governor call that body together before the contest is settled, a sufficient number of Democratic members to prevent a quorum would probably stay away, so that Montana would probably bo without a “Legislature until the Supreme Court decides the dispute. [Butte (Mont.) special.] Great excitement prevails in this city and throughout Montana to-night owing to tho illegal action of the Silver Bow County Board of canvassers in throwing out Precinct Thirty-four, whioh gave an average Democratic majority of 171. Several Republicans filed affidavits with the board setting forth that in that precinct the judges of election counted the ballots in secret, which is contrary to the Australian voting law, and upon tho strength of these affidavits the two Republicans who constitute the majority of the Board of Canvassers threw out the large Democratic precinct and thereby i>luced the Democracy in this county in tho minority. Much bitterness is expressed on all sides over the disgraceful action of the board, whose active partisanship is condemned by many of the best Republicans in the city. As a matter of fact, the decision ot the Republican majority of the board was written by lawyer Thompson Campbell, Chairman of the Republican County Committee. Some of tho most eminent lawyers in Montana appeared before tho board and explain®! that the statutes did not give the board power to reject the votes of Precinct Thirty-four. That the board’s duties were simply ministerial and it has nothing to do with the legality of the votes counted, and that the board could not legally go behind the returns as received from the clerks and judges of election. This waa clear to the members of the board, but the Republicans knew that the rejection of this precinct would elect six out of the ten Republican candidates for tjho Legislature from Silver Bow County, and that would give the State Legislature to the Republicans and thus Becure the election of two Republican United States Senators. It was this fact which prompted the partisan members of the board to attempt this bold steal of Montana’s next Legislature. Late to-night a crowd of several hundred angry people assembled in a gulch near the town aud prepared to march through the town, headed by a band, to tho residence of William W. Jack, Chairman of the Board of Canvassers. Jack has several hundred dollars bet upon the success of the Republican ticket in this county, and it is charged that this fact had much to do with his decision as to the rejected votes. Th® crowd was met on its way to town by a numbetf of the prominent Democrats and induoed to disband. Had the crowd marched through the town and burned the effigies of the Republican members, Jack and Hall, of.tho Canvassing Board, bloodshed would undoubtedly have resuited. Chairman Jack has just left the city and is on his way to New York, where he will take the first boat for Europe.
