The inquest into the enures of the Baltimore fc Ohio wreck, at Republic, O., was begun at 2 o'clock this afternoon nt Tiffin.

We ran from Tiffin to the Soneca siding, about three and one-half tniles east of here, and sidetracked for tho east-hound express. After this train passed we had forty-five minutes in which to make the Republic siding. We left this place with one hundred and forty pounds of steam. After goinjr two miles I noticed that the train was. slacking. 'I went forward over the cars, eighteen in number, to the engine to see what was wrong. I found that the steara had run down to forty inds. I oritndihj4 Jvir cf lh furnace and rtBe fire, then looked at mv watch, and that we bad but four minutes until No. 6, -the west-bound express, was due. I took a red , and white lantern, and ran ahead to flag her. I got about one hundred yards in the curve, and signaled to stop. As the express approached I poticed that the engineer had reversed his engine. In the meantime, the freight had come to stand, and pie engineer had shut off steam and iunopd off whpn the collision occurred. Tho engineer had been drinking. I saw him take twn drinks of whisky at Bloomdalo and two at rostorin. When I saw wo had but four minutes tit tnnka the sidirif nt Tinuhli tho niinA AiA notsoem to realize the danger ahead. I tried to pet the pasnngers out of tha burning cars. One r$n was jammed between the smoker and ladies' car. I. tried to tret him out, but the flames drova me away, and he had" to burn. I beard no shrieks or cries of others in the burnIn ears." W.J. Cullison, fireman on the freieht, was reJtt called. He said he wns a farm hand and hal been oa the road but threo weeks, and never knew anytliine about the business before. lie sold: "We had trouble tn keeping ut the fire. W had on hundred and forty pounds of steam when we left Seneca siaing. The train ran four or live miles, when steara was down to sixty pounds. V were then going about three miles perhour. The conductor came in and looked at the ifire, and said it Was all right. When the conductor went ahead to flag, and saw the express coming, he yelled back for us to jump. After the collision occurred I tried to get persons out I saw persons in there burning, but I was o excited I could tell but little about it." Charles Snider, of Columbus.

At the collision I saw a man hanging about half way out of the smoker, T?ho called to me for God's sake to help him out. Tho man was supposed to be M. II. Pavks. of Wa'hltiston.

Solemn Ceremonies at Trinity Church in Honor of the Late Horatio Potter. New York, Dec. 7. ''Old Trinity's" pews were filled and the vestibule was crowded with people come to do honor to the dead bishop, Horatio Potter, at 10 o'clock to-day, the hour set for the funeral services at that church. The pulpit, the lectern and the reading desk were draped in the heaviest mourning, but otherwise the church wore many of the symbols of the Christmas rejoicings in the shape of evergreens, etc. In the chancel were arranged seats for the clergy, and back of these for a dozen pews were seats reserved for the more intimate friends of the dead preiate. At 10 o'clock the procession of clergy marched slowly from the vestry up the south aisle of the church, clad in snowy surplices with black collars. A funeral dirge was played on the organ as the procession passed up the south aisle and down the central aisle to the seats reserved for them. There were thirtyseven clergymen in the procession, and twelve others joined them after they had been seated. Following the clergy came the surnliced choir, then the officiating clergymen Bishop Coxe, of the Rochester diocese; Bishop Bedell, of Ohio, and Bishop Doane, of Albany: Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix and Rev. Dr. Swope, Rev. Dr. Dix leading and reading the sentences beginning, "I know that my Redeemer liveth," and the procession advancing down the middle aisle to the choir. After all had been seated the sexton's assistants bore the casket containing the dead Bishop down tho aisle from the entrance to tho church, and placed it on a bier in the center of the outer chancel, directly in front or the altar. From this point the usual services of the Protestant Episcopal Church followed. A part of the Psalter was sung by the choir, after which the Rev. Dr. Swope read the lessons from the fifteenth chapter of Corinthians. This was followed by tho singing of 'the hymn, "Rise my soul and stretch thy wings," by the choir. The psalm beginning, "Man bom of - wompn is of few days ' was chanted, and Bishep Coxe read the committal service of the Episcopal Church. Before the reading of the commital. two acolytes lifted the purple pall which covered the casket. An acolyte, holding aloft the brass cross, stood at the foot of the casket, and Bishops Coxe and Doane at the head. Bishop Coxe sprinkled the ashes on the lid, chanting in a solemn voice "Ashes to ashe3 and dust to dust." Bishop Doane read the prayers, and was followed by Bishop Bedell, of Ohio, who read the special prayers and pronounced the benediction. After this, Croft's requiem was sune. About 450 clergymen were present from Now York and vicinity. After the services the body was carried down the, center aisle, preceded by the clergy, who, at the door, separated aud stood on each side of the aisle while the body was torno between them and placed in the hearse. The funeral cortege went to the Grand Central Deoot. where the body was taken on the 12:39 v. ?f. train to Ponghkeepsie. It will be interred in the Rural Cemetery in a floral-lined grave. Rev. Dr. Cady. of Hyde Park, and Rev. Dr. S wona accompanied the family, and services at the cemeterv. will conduct the JUDGE THURMAN STRICKEN. ( He Reels and Falls Senseless from His Chair While Participah'nr in a Banquet. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Columbus, O., Jan. 10. While the festivities of the Jackson Club banquet were iu prosress, to-right, a sensation was created when ex-Senator Allen G. Thurraan suddenly reeled and fell in a stupor from his chair at the table. Instantly all was excitement, for to all he seemed lifeless. He was carried to a carriage and taken to his residence, where he roviyed somewhat It is not known what the result will be. Mr. Thurman has baen suffering for a xveek or more from pneumonia. HE LEFT THE SAFE, Dut Carried Away All the Cash, and Also the Books and Tapers of the Firm. New Brunswick, N. J., Jan. 7. Eight years ago Henry Morris and others organized the New York Textile Filtering Company, with a factory at Woodbridge, N. J. Patent coffee-pots and patent condejisel coffee were manufactured. Coffee-houses were established in New York city, and apparently tho concern was prosperous. Heury Morris, jr., had sole charge, the other members of the firm knowing nothing of its financial standing. Two years ago he began to speculate in coffee in New York. When Arnold & Co. went under, he luckily pulled throush. One week ago to-day he was not at his place of business, and several days passing without his appearing, an investigation was beirun. The safe was burst open, but nothing was found, not oven the books, every trace of the company'a business transactions having been destroyed. Protested checks, and dishonored notes, he-ran to come in, and these now amount to ;?0,000. Morris' father ar.d brother deny that he has forged- their names to rotes and debts. but acknowledge that the father's handsome residence at Woodbridge was mortgaged by Henry, he forging his father's name to the deed. The assertion that Morris, when he left, had $10,000 in cash, is also denied. So great wa9 the amount of paper which Morris fc Co. had on the market that concerns in New York became alarmed, and broucht about the exposure. To these firms Morris told fabulous tale of the wealth 6f the Filtering Company. Harvey Morris and A: E. Nichuls, of San Francisco, a son-in law of Morris, sr., acknowledged Henry's downfalL Morris told no one of Lis intended departure, not even his wife.

Possibility that England's Prime Minister May Tender His resignation. The Pope Makes an Arrangement hy Which, . in Event of Italy's Going to War, His Holiness Will Temporarily Reside in Monaco. WORK OR BREAD. London Unexpectedly Startled by the Cry of the Unemployed Workingmen. London, Jan. 7. The inhabitants of the West End were startled to-day by an unexpected demonstration of the unemployed who had congregated at different points of the city, so as not to attract the attention of the police, suddenly made their appearance in the vicinity of the offices of the local government board, each contingent bavin a; been timed so all would arrive at the point of rendezvous at the same hour. The plan was well carried out, for none of the government or police officials had received any rotice of the demonstration, and were only made aware of the fact by the sudden appearance in the streets of an immense army of unemployed workmen, crying: "Give us work or eiv us bread." A committee of the unemployed waited on the Right Hon. Charles J. Ritchie, president of . the local government board, and detailed their grievances to that official, requesting the government to adopt measures for the employment of workmen on public works. Mr. Ritchie received the deputation kindly, but said he was unable to promise them anything. He would, however, place their grievances before the Cabinet at its naxt meeting. The crowd then repaired to Trafalgar Square, where an indignation meeting was held and resolutions adopted protesting against the apathy of the government. Many shop-keepers in and around Trafalgar Square hastily put up their shutters and closed their stores, under the belief that another Socialist demonstration was about to take plack. The crowd, however, was orderly, and after the adoption of the resolutions quietly dispersed. ENGLISH POLITICS. Salisbury May Brine: Matters to a Head by Handing la His Resignation. Cablo Special. Lord Salisbury may end the crisis at any moment by sending in bis resignation to the Queen. The unrelenting opposition of the Carlton Tories to his prosramme has paralyzed action and brought about a dead-lock. Friends of peace of both sides, looking for a solution of the difficulty, are holding conferences with the view of bringing about,-, if possible, a meeting of the entire party, or, failing that, a conference of the most influential supporters of the government and their leaders. Lord Randolph Churchill is gaining strength here every hour. His following in the provincial constituencies is steadily increasing, and the Tory-Democratic element in the party are clamorinc for his return to the Cabinet, or a dissolution. Churchill's adherents are as resolute and uncompromising as they were the first day it was bruited after the Chancellor of the Exchequer's resignation. The crisis is acute, aud no one can foresee the result. Mr. Gladstone is described by friends fresh from talking with him to be keenly watching the crisis. He makes no attempt to conceal his satisfaction at the confusion into which the men who wer9 lately reviling him are plunged. He speaks hopefully of the results of the conferences for the reunion of the Liberal part', but is still firm for home rule. Should the conferences end in a reunion he believes confidence will be restored in the constituencies and that many metropolitan seats will be regained, giving the Gladstoneites a working majority over the combined Tories and Whigs. In any case, he thinks Ireland will be the gainer. The Parnellites, in the meantime, are actively preparing for a dissolution of Parliament. They are working hard at thn completion of the party organization in the north of Ireland, and the English and Scotch constituencies where tho Irish vote was not fully under command at the last election. It is expected that closer registration and improved discipline when the next appeal to the country is made will result in the return of at least five additional home.rulers in England, the direct representatives of the Irish vote. GENERAL. FOREIGN NEWS. In the Contingency of War, the Pope Will Take Up His Residence ia Monaco. London, Jan. 8. The Vatican has made arrangements with the Prince of Monaco by which, in the event of an outbreak of war involving Italy, the Pope, with his Ministers and the prefects of the congreeation, will remove their residence to the principality of Monaco, and there transact all papal business until peace shall have been restored and some kind rf European agreement obtained guaranteeing the independence of the Holy See in its dealing with the Catholic world. A special clause of the convention with the Prince pledees the abolition of the gaming tables. It is expected that adequate compensation for the los3 of revenue thus involved will be afforded by the crowds of visitors to the Pope, or by an indemnity to the Prince. Another Letter from Empern." William. Berlin, Jan. 7. Emperor Williata has written a letter thanking German Red Cross societies for congratulations on the eightieth anniversary of his enrollment in the Prussian army. He says: "Although I live in hope that the efforts to maintain the blessings of peace for the German nation will not be vain, I cannot refrain from raakins the f ullesi acknowledgement of the zeal of the lied Cross societies in fulfilling their task, even in times cf peace." The E mneror will hold a chapter of the Prussian order of the Plack Eaele on the 18th, when he will decorate Duke John, of Mecklenburg and the Prussian generals Papa and Vaii Obernitz. Gladstoue Will Make No Concessions. London, Jan. 7. The Daily News says the concessions in the matter of the Irish question which Mr. Gladstone is reported to be willing to make to the dissentient Liberals are purelyimaginative. Nothine, the News says, will be conceded by Mr. Gladstone that will minimize or weaken his scheme of home rule. The Latest Divorce Suit. Edinburgh, Jan. 7. The Marquis of Queensbury, who is being sued foiwa divorce, has not lived with his wife for twelve years. Shortly after they began to live apart the Marquis ad

His connection with this woman is made the basis for the suit Neither the lady nor the Marqnis will deny the charge of adultery which the Marchioness makes against her husband. The case will be tried in Edinburgh, because the Scotch law grant a wife a divorce for adultery alone. "So Rosso-German Alliance. London, Jan. 7. The Vienna correspondent of the Times contradicts the statement of M. Blowitz, the Paris correspondent of that paper, that a treaty has been entered into between Russia and Germany, and says that no such alliance exists. It was said the alliance provided that in case of war between Russia and Austria, Germany should hold aloof, and that Russia should do likewise if hostilities occurred between Germany and France.

CORA LEE AND EMMA M0LL0Y.

The Trial of the Former Postponed at Keqnest of the State The Latter Anxious for Trial. 8pecia to the IndianaDoIis Journal. Springfield, Mo., Jan. 7. The case of Cora Lee, indicted as accessory to the famous murder of Sarah Graham, was called in the Circuit Court at 17 o'clock this morning, before Judge C. C. Bland, of the Rolla district, sitting in the place of Judge-elect Hubbard, whowns assistant State attorney. The court room was filled to its utmost capacity, the seats being occupied bv ladies and the standing room principally taken by the men. Cora Lee sat by the side of her attorney, dressed in deep mourning, her long veil thrown back, revealing a face upon which the troubles of tho past twelve months have leftvisible traces. Her late illness had reduced her flesh, but she is in excellent health at present She declined to talk about her case to the reporters, other than that she was anxious for a speedy trial and confident of acquittal. Attorney Howell, for the defense, filed a motion to quash the indictment on technical grounds, and after considerable legal sparrinsr the motion was overruled.. The next proceeding in the case was a surprise to all. It was thought possible the defendant would ask a continuance, but the State was understood to be ready for. trial. State's Attorney Patterson, however, filed an affidavit for continuance, one of the grounds of which was that Louis West, an important State witness, could not be found after due diligence, and that if present he would testify that, on the fatal night, Sept 30, 1835, he saw a woman, answering the description of Cora Lee, drive from the vicinity cf the Molloy farm in the direction of Springfield, and later saw a man and two womeu drive back. These three are supposed to have been George E. Graham, his wife Sarah, and the bigarnously married Cora, and this furnishes a missing link in the chain cf evidence connecting Cora with the decoying of Sarah Graham, her murderer, and the secretion of her body in the old well. As the defense refused to admit this to be true, the case was continued until the May term. The cause of West's absence is an inrt'.ctmeut lately found against him for felonious assault. Persons who were looking at Cora when the State moved for a continuance say that tears stole down her cheeks, so anxious does she appearor a trial. The next proceeding was the admission to bail of Cora in the sum of $7,000. Attorney Howell announced that Mrs. Molloy, the temperance evangelist, indicted for being accessary after the fact, though at present in Nebraska, was anxious for an early trial, and could be here on thirty-six hours' notice. The judse stated that, if satisfactory to both tides, he would be able to try her case in February. It is thought doubtful whether Cora Lee will be able to give the required bail The cure of ills to which the human race is heir, ia due to the use of St Jacobs OiL

ALMOST A WELL MAN. - The President Receives Visitors and Exhibits bnt Little Signs of His Late Illness. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 7. President Cleveland looked very much better, when he entered the reception-room this afternoon, than he has for weeks. He walked steadily and showed but slight effect ofhis recent illness. An immense throng awaited him, the city being well filled with visitors now. Nearly all who passed between the attendants stopped and chatted for a few seconds, and this break in the monotony seemed to be relished by tho President, who detained many of the callers and inquired after personal friends. One old gentleman, after presenting his wife and stating that that he was from New York, persisted in poking the President in the region of the diaphragm while he inquired about his rheumatism. 'It is only a question of care and attention now," remarked the President, "and I am beginning to feel like myself again." Reference was made to the absence of the President from his mother-in-law's reception yesterday, whereupon he answered: "But I was ably represented by Mrs. Cleveland.1' "Ob, yes," said the old gentleman, "and I was very glad to meet her; maybe she told you some of the pleasant things I said to her." Apprehension on account of the President's physical condition has passed. LOBBYIST SIIERRILL. A Skillful and Successful Operator Candidates for His Vacant Place. Special to the IndianaDolia Journal. Washington, Jan. 7. The death of Charles H. Sherrill, on Tuesday last, has revived talk about the nalmy days of the lobbyists in Washington. Mr. Sherrill was the veteran lobbyist at the time of bis death, and occupied the most desirable position in his line. It is said that there has been a regular scramble for the place made vacant Reports place the salary at from $20,000 to $30,000. Those mentioned as likely to fall into the line of succession are very different men from Sherrill. He wa3 a very dignified man, and besides the patriarchal appearance his white locts eave him, he had a bearing in perfect keepine with the demeanor of one who could succeed in almost anything he took bold of. The men who are trying to get the employment are rough, unpopular characters, who have been hangers-on for many years, and who have neither popularity nor tact Mr. Sherrill impressed strangers as being a retired minister or capitalist Ho dressed well, but never gaudily, and by his quiet manner and adroitness would never have been known except for his long service as a lobbyist. For a decade he kept from the public the fact that he was m the employ of Pacific railroad and steamship companies, and he was much more effective in bis work by not being known in his work, for Coneressmen do not like to be Been with men notoriously in the employ of corporations fiehting for or against legislation. The men snoken of as his successors are knorrn to be jobbers, and would therefore be failures. It requires a respectable standing amone statesmen, as weli as diplomacy of the highest order, to be a success in the lobby here. There was a time when lobbyists were more outspoken and brash and bold than now. . MRS. EMMONS'S SANITY. Continuation of the Testimony Before the Lnnacy Commission. Washington, Jan. 7. The lunacy proceedings instituted by Professor Emmons against Weltha A. Emmons, his wife, were continued in the Circuit Court room to day. There was such a pressure for admittance that the deputy marshal was obliged to close the door at an early hour and refuse entrance to all who were not in some way connected with the case. The examination of Mrs. Decormi3r who was Mrs. Emmons's traveling companion during her recent trip to Europe, waa concluded without eliciting anything of particular importance beyond a detailed recitation of Mrs. Emmons's eccentricities. The next witness was Dr. Walter Kempster, who testified that he had made a specialty of nervous diseases and insanity. He first met Mrs. Emmons, Dec. 2, 1885. through a card from Dr. Marion Sims, of New York, and had an interview of two hours with her. She was then quiet and ladylike, but was incoherent in her speech. He afked her a jrreat many questions, but her answers were wandring and often irrelevant When she becan to manifest restlessness he suggested that they were tiring her, and took his leave. On the following day he called again. She had set up a Christmas tree trimmed with all sorts of rubbish, such as old snoes, a broken thermometer, the inner springs of an opera hat, etc. These trimmings she explained. The thermometer, she said, represented disjointed affection. "Disjointed fiddlesticks," interposed Mrs. Emmons, audibly. The witness continued his visits up to March 2. 1880, and found that Mrs. Emmons had a number of delusions. Once she told him that she was very suspicious. He made some remark with regard to her loneliness, when she declared that she was not afraid, because she had a dagger which, when warm, wa3 deadly, but when cold inert This daecer she showed him, and it proved to be a shawl-pin. She said she had accidentally picked her cheek with this dagger, and, knowing that it was poisoned, she took onions and milk as an antidote, and recommended the same to him. After referring to many eccentricities on the part of Mrs. Emmons, includine her refusal to eat because ehe was suspicious all her food was poisoned. Dr. Kempster testified that Mrs. Eramon? stated to him that she was quite wealthy; that she was authoress, poetess, architect, and had made $25 by touching her pen to some plans; she also declared her husband wanted to get r 1 of her. On one of his visits, Mrs. Emmons said to the witness, that there was a likelihood, in a short time, of a birth in the house, asked him to attend the party in confinement, there would be a room fitted np on the floor above hers (Mrs. Emmons's), aud no one would ever know about the matter except those phe named to the witness. After the child was born it was to be brought down to her, Emmons would return to the house, she would be his wife, and that would be their

child. The witness advised that she be taken te some institution where she would be properly treated. , FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS. Bills Tassed by the Senate The Interstate Commerce Debate Postponed. Washington, Jan. 7. Several petitions were presented in favor of the eiperimental agricultural stations bill Also, a remonstrance signed by many business men of Dayton, O., against, and petitions from the Business Men's Club, of Kenosha, Wis., and from the Wisconsin StaU Grange, in favor of the interstate commerce biiL The Senate then proceeded to business on tbi calendar, and passed the following bills: To settle and adjust the claims ot any State for expenses incurred by it in defense of the United States; for the relief of John Mc-Nauch-ton, of Ohio, an ex lieutenant in the voluntee service. This bill was discussed at considerable length, as it involved the principle of paying the compensation of a higher grade while the claimant held and drew the pay of a lower grade. A bill appropriating $30,000 for the widow and daughter of Erskine S. Allin, formerly master armorer at Springfield armory, the inventor of the Springfield breech loading rifle musket, iu compensation for the use- of the in vention by the government Mr. Cullom stated that, while he would like t have the discussion of the interstate commerce bill continued to-day,. he was informed by foot Senators, who desired to speak upon it, thaj they were not prepared to go on to-day. H therefore proposed that the Senate would go to other business.
