' These facts mtr well rive rise to the inference

that people holding bonds preferred them to money. The government wants to buy bonds to answer the requirements of the law relating to the sinking fund, and It is willing to aavance Interest on such bonds as are not bought and thus supply any immediate demand there may be for money. These two movements of the . Treasury Department are calculated to release a pood deal of money and turn it into business if required; but they are both executive acts, and mast be performed with a due regard to the interests of the government as one of the n&rtiit to these transactions. There is no disposition to drive a sharp bargain with the ewners of the bonds, but it will not do to say that there is do side to the bargain except that of tho seller and hoider, and that these bonds must be boueht and the interest advanced on nch terms as their interest alone dictates. The eonmetition offered in the sale of bonds is a just ' way to fix their price, and will be fairly pur sued as long as it seems to protect against an indue advantage on the part of sellers and re sults in offers which, upon business considera tions. ought to regulate their value as between private parties. The government ought, not to be expected, regardless of any public purpose, to - Identify melf with private business or specula tion." MAXIMILIAN'S HONOR. Promised Testimony t Disprove the Charges Itrought by General Escobedo. Washington Special. The production of a letter alleeed to have been written by Maximilian to Colonel Lopez. ecommending the observance of secrecy regard tag a treasonable commission intrusted to Gen. Escobedo. has called' forth a communication from Dr. Demeza, of this city, who says: "I hereby most solemnly protest against this effort to wash out Colonel Lopez's infamous slain, who, like Judas, sold his master and gen erous friend. I protest, first, because I am the man in whose hands the Emperor placed the deed of ab dication of his throne in favor of the Republic, in conformity with the constitution promulgated in Mexico in 1857. This event led me to under take the pleasing duty of writing a book, the materials being derived from many public and private documents, showing clearly the reasons for the abdication, and other suojects of political importance that had nut previously been touched upon. "Secondly, because before writing this book I eonferred with several Mexican Liberals of high standing in political and military circles, who. besides being poisonal friends of Don Benito Juarez and President Diaz, were and are yet thoroughly acquainted with the events that transpired before and after the rail or uueretaro, and they were the persons who informed me of the shameful treason of Colonel Lopez. "Thirdly, because the very wording of the letter put forward to clear Colon el Lopez from that charge prove that it is a forgery. U bat letter never could be the production of an intelligence so clear and so thoroughly familiar with the re quirements of personal honor as was that of the illustrious victim 01 tueretaro. "Fourth, because the reasons given by Gen eral Escobedo to justify the delaying of his offi eial report twenty years are absurd, and cannot affect the judgment of posterity. .Military cus torn dictates that every commander shall promptly furnish his government with a report of the work done by his troops, ana it is dimeult to understand why General Escobedo should not have observed this custom. "If Generals Mejias and Miramon were traitors, and punished accordingly, how comes it that Colonel Lopez, the confidential friend and , sdvier of bis illustrious victim, escaped their rater These statements of Dr. Demeza are unsupported by documentary proof, but it is underitood that arrangements bave been made by thers to publish testimony of a kind which will prove that Maximilian was not the coward and traitor alleged by the Escobedo faction through the publication of bogus letters intended to injure President Diiw in the coming elections. It in said that Diaz favored the lenient treatment of Maximilian when he was captured, and that President Juarez and his Minister of Justice, Iglesias, were also inclined mildly toward the anfortunate Emperor, but Escobedo, who had negotiated with Lopez for the betrayal of tho citadel of Queretaro, demanded the execution of Maximilian, and also the life of General Mejias, who had once befriended him. It will be shown that Escobedo was dishonorable enough to bint that the life of Maximilian and Prince Salm-Salm, the Emperors aide-decamp, could be saved at the price of the honor of Prince Salm-Salm and his wife, and that the famnna Aift rit October. IRfifi- for whtpli Mirt. miliaa was executed, condemning to death all persons found bearing arms against the legal government, was issued by Marshal Bazaine, and tbat Maximilian was ignorant of the order for some time, and modified its severity when he learned of its existence. Pad feeling on the part of Maximilian against Bazaine and the French is said to have existed. When Maximilian was shot his last words after he had received five bullets, and before he w? killed by a ball through bis brain, were not "Poor Carlotta," as reported, but "Hombre!" meaning, in Spanish, "Man," and often used as an exclamation of horror and surprise. This publication promises to be of the most interesting and sensational character. ANOTHER FAILURE. Probabilities that the Fisheries-Commission Scheme Will Collapse. Washington Special. There are hints that the administration's fish eries-commiasion scheme may fall through entirely. One reason is the trouble in finding men who will go on the commission. Another Is the probability tbat before the commission got fairly under way it would be met with a resolution from tho Senate denouncing the whole business. In view of the bold defiance of Congress by President Cleveland and Secretary Bayard it is thought that the Senate will be forced to pass something a little stronger than the resolution of April, 1886, which disapproved the trap for a mixed commission into which the British minister bad drawn Messrs. Cleveland and Bayard. It can not be learned whom the President and Secretary Bayard invited to act as the American commissioners, but they are all said to be "distinguished." The matter of pay probably bad nothing to do with their refusal to serve, as there are enough contingent funds out of which the Secretary of State could squeeze their allowance. But after the negotiations were made known in the Iiritisk Parliament the miserable snuffling of Mr. Bayard showed tbat most distinguished Americans would be better thought of by their countrymen If they staid off the commission. Knowing the objections to tne commission, the State Department tried to make out that there were to be no commissioners, but only "negotiators" named by the President. This sort of evasion disgusted even the partisans of the administration, and neither Mr. Bayard nor Mr. Cleveland will bave much sympathy for the humiliation that their fisheries policy promises to result in. It would not be surprising if Lyman Trumbull, of Chicago, were one of the men who was asked to serve on the commission. The President has more than once sighed for Mr. Trumbull's helD oat of the diplomatic troubles into which Bayard has drawn the administration. RECEIVED NO SUCH ORDER. An Alleged Civil-Service Order of the President Probably a Hoax. Washington Special. The alleged civil-service order of President Cleveland, forbidding certain officials of the Treasury Department from taking part in the coming elections, has created quite a stir in official circles. The establishment of a precedent disfranchising several thousand American citizens has not been hailed with demonstrations of delight, but the more astute office-holders do not credit the authority of the order. , The World correspondent called the attention of Colonel Lamont to the story this morning. "I have seen the published statement," said he, "but I bave never heard of any such order. It is not worthy of serious consideration."' Secretary Thompson, of the Treasury Department, who has been acting during the absence of Mr. Fairchild, said he had received no such order. "It would have come to me," said he, "but I bave heard nothing of it. aside from the paragraph in the morning papers. The alleged order is given with great apparent attention to detail, but I do not think the report should receive any credence." A prominent Democratic official said: "President Cleveland is unquestionably sincere in his civil-service professions. He would not, however, be guilty of so impolitic a move as to interdiet an office holder from exorcising his inalienable right as a citizen'of the republic. There is a wide difference btweeu "pernicious activity' and simple political liberty, of which I do not think the President intends to deprive any one." MINOR MATTERS. An Assistant Secretary's Painful Memento of m Sninmer's Outing. Washington Special. Governor Thompson, assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and acting secretary in Secretary .7 airchild's absence, brought back a badly scarred

right hand from his recent tour of inspection among the custom-houses and life-saving stations of the great lakes. He was climbing a rickety stairway atone of the stations, followed by some revenue marine officers. Seeing a par

ticularly bad step just before him, be pnt out bi3 right hand to grasp a pipe running beside toe stairway. "Take care, sir!" shouted a revenue lieutenant just behind him. Thinking he meant to warn him against the bad step, uovernor Thompson quickly grasped the pipe. The palm of his hand was flayed in an instant. But be did not let go until be had recovered his eqni hbrium, for he bad presence of mind enough to remember that if he had he would nave xauen full lengh on the hot pipe. When his skinned palm had been dressed the revenue mariners told him tbat tbat was a hot-water pipe, t ortu nately the Governor's vigor healed his woucd verv auicklr. so that he is now abie to sign the great treasury mail as though nothing had hap pened. The Case ofMcGarigle. Washington', Sept. 12. The application of the Governor of Illinois for the extradition of McGarigle, the. fugitive Chicago ex-warden. which has been received at the Department of State, will be reserved for the personal consider ation of Secretary Bayard when he returns to the city. As a rule, action upon applications for extradition papers is purely formal, the preliminaries to granting the request consisting merely in an examination of extradition treaties to as certain if the offense charged falls within their terms. But it is understood that in the present case the application is based upon a charge of conspiracy, for which no provision is made in the existing treaty with Canada. A legal point of gravity is mvolvea in the application, ana Its consideration may, therefore, occupy some time. Presidential Clemency. Washington, Sept. 12. The President has pardoned Thos. R. Knight, John A. Brooks and Henry Patz, eonvicted of manslaughter in the Western district of Arkansas, and sentenced to imprisonment. They were Indian police, and killed a man while attempting to arrest him. In hi j indorsement upon the application, the Presi dent eays: "It is with much hesitation that I have determined to release these convicts from the consequences of their somewhat rash act; but I am satisfied that rashness, instead of mal ice or criminal intent, characterized the homi cide. and 1 am very much influenced in my action by considering the effect which might follow the punishment of an officer acting under legal authority in . the somewhat lawless sur roundings of the Indian Territory. General Note. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Sept. 12. Daniel M. Redlow, of Pierceville; James C. Pea rson, of Mitchell; Frank E. Hammer, of Greenfield; Isaac M. Dunn, of Lawrenceburg; Harvey S. Chester, of Elkhart; Harold Kelly, of Huron; John Sutton, of Dunkirk; Alonzo Marshall, of Economy all from Indiana, have been admitted to practice be fore the Interior Department. Secretary Whitney has invited the members of the Senate and House navnl com mittees, and a number or other persons interested in the subject, to go down New York bay on the Dispatch to witness the test of the dynamite gun on the 20th inst, when an effort will be made to destroy a schooner by dynamite shells. Mr. E. B. Sargent, of the English civil-service commission, has written to the civil-service commission here, stating that he intends to visit Washington, and, although coming unofficially, be would like to compare our civil-service methods with those of England. He has been invited to call upon the commission when he reaches ashington. OBITUARY. Mrs. Ann P. . Hendricks, Widow of the Late Governor William Hendricks. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS

The Never-Ending Trouble About Montgomery County's Money Up Again. Two Farmers Engage in a Fight Over an Old Grudge, and One Is Fatally Hurt Henderson Held for Abducting: the Carmen Girl. INDIANA. The Perennial Fnss About Montgomery Coun ty's Money Goben Again Short. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Ckawfokdsville, Sept 12. The contest over the auditorship is again before the people. The history of the case is about as follows: In 18S2 John L. Goben, Democrat, was elected county treasurer, and on Sept 1, 1SS3, took possession of the office. In August, 1854, he was found to be over $27,000 short He made this good in various ways, and the County Commissioners required him to give a new bond before he could continue in office. When Gbben's term expired. on Sept 1, 18S5, he was given credit for some $7,000 in order to make his accounts balance. This $7,000 was virtually a shortage, but for some reason was soon forgotten. Last year Goben was nominated for auditor on the Democratic ticket. Then the $7,000 shortage was made public, which was pronounced by the Democrats a lie. Goben received sixteen more votes than the Republican candidate, G. R. Brown. Brown then filed papers in contest, claiming that as Goben was a defaulter at the time of hia election he was ineligible to election. The case was first called before the Commissioners, who decided that Goben was not eligible, from the fact that he was yet a defaulter, and that Brown, having received tne next highest number of votes, was elected auditor. Goben appealed to court, and the decision of the Commissioners was reversed, it being held that Goben was eligible to election; but. if he was a defaulter, he was not eligible to hold office unless he should pay what was yet due before the time arrived for him to take possession of the office. The Commissioners then employed two experts, C. B. Lockhart and Gerard Keiter, to make a thorough examination of the books. To-day these ekperts made their report, which states that when Goben's term expired he was $8,691.63 short During bis term he had received $6G,332. 40, and only $57,640.72 was accounted for, leaving the balance of $8,691.CS jet due from Goben to the county. The Wabash l'ostofflce. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Wabash, Sept 12. The first intelligence of the appointment of William Wilson as postmaster at Wabash was received through the Sunday Journal, and created a sensation. When, last week, it become known that Judge David Turpie had recommended Nathan Herff, four prominent henchmen of Wilson went down to see him and endeavor to induce the withdrawal of the recommendation. They secured an interview Friday. The Judge peremptorily refused to comply with the request, and the quartette came home satisfied that Herff would be appointed. Mr. Wilson abandoned the ght and Major Kidd then told the Journal correspondent on Saturday that there was but a slender chance of pulling Wilson through. The surprise of everybody may be imagined when the announcement of Wilson's appointment was made. Mr. Huff, who is -a Hebrew, and his friends, were particularly chagrined, nnd to-day are expressing their indignation in strong language. It ia construed as a direct slap in the face, by the Hebrews of the city, who are endeavoring strenuously to have the appointment recalled. James R. -Bronyan, late Democratic candidate for Congress, advocated the claims of Herff, and he, too, receives a snubbing he will cot soon forget It is believed here that the postoffice war has made fully fifty Republican votes, and those, too, who will stick. The Oldest "Live Hoosler." Special to the Indiauan'olis Journal. Madison, Sept 12. Last winter tho papers printed a statement tbat "Uncle Is&W Wilson," of Shelby county, claimed to be the oldest living ' native-born hoosier," and that he was born in 1807. Knowing of a man who conld beat that record about ten years, your correspondent wrote to Samuel Morrison, No. 131 Christian avenue, Indianapolis, for the facts. He replied: "I was born in Dearborn county, March 1, 1798, and Mrs. Fannie Watts told me fhat I was the first white child born in Dearborn county. These facts were published then, but it seems tbat "Uncle Isaac" is still laboring under the mistaken idea that be is the oldest patriarch. The Brooksburgh Sun now comes forward with the name of John F. Cotton, born in Switzerland county, in 1S03. Samuel Morrison can beat his record about five years. Killed by a Falling. Derrick. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Ft. Waynk, Sept. 12. John Nutt, a helper working on the new government building, was instantly killed, this afternoon, by a falling derrick. It is said tbat Nutt, . whose duty it was to see that the derrick ropes were properly secured, either forgot or neglected to fasten the guy-rope, and while engaged with others in swinging a heavy stone, weighing a ton, into position, the derrick, not Wfng properly supported, toppled over. The unfortunate man - was dragged with it, being precipitated sixty feet to the ground, resulting in instant death. Nutt was twenty-three years of age, and unmarried.

William Henderson Held to Answer for Ab ducting the Carmen Girl. Special to tba Indianapolis Journal. Ukbana, Sept 12. Great interest centered to-day in the postponed hearing of the Josie Carmen abduction case. William Henderson was taken from jail for examination on the charge of abducting an unmarried female from her parents for purposes of prostitution and concubinage. The charges were that he is a married man. The case has become so clear that be wholly waived examination and was held to the grand jury in bail of $1,000, and went to jail. Josie Carmen is fifteen years old, but appears very young. Henderson was arrested at Bement, where he was living in criminal relations with her. Fatal Fight I'etween Farmers. Special to tu Indianapolis Journal. Princeton, Sept 12. Tib Givens shot and mortally wounded Lyman Cooper, at an early hour this morning, at Patoka, four miles north of here.

and then fled. He has not jet been captured.

It is thought there is no chance for Cooper to live. Both men have families, and were, as a rule, peacable citizens.

Brief Mention. Charles Lindstrom, a young man from Galfsburg, who, with a companion, was beatiog his way to Chicago, fell from a Chicago, Burlington & Quincy freight train and was instantly killed. Bartholomew Falvey was killed by the ears in South Peoria on Sunday, bis body being frightfully mangled. He was a traveling cooper, aged forty, and had been in that city but a short time. War on illiteracy is. the order of the dar in Tolono. No other place in Illinois is making such determined efforts to enforce the State compulsory education law. Boys found on the streets during school hours are promptly locked in the village calaboose by the policeman unless they give a satisfactory reason for not being in school. The fall term of the University of Illinois, at Champaign, will open on Wednesday, the 14th, there being indications of a very large number of students, many of whom have already arrived.

Special to the Indianapolis Joarnau Washington, Ind.. Sept. 12. A strike of all the miners in this vicinity, under direction of the Miners' Federation, is imminent. Meetings are being held here to-day. The miners at Montgomery and Rogers, about two hundred and fifty, are already out, and if the strikers succeed in geting Cabel & Co's. men here, over five hundred in number, to join them, the strike will be general and will include mines at Washington, Montgomery, Cannellburg. Rogers, Blackburn and perhaps Edwardsport Much apprehension of the result is felt, as the results of a strike would be serious. An enthusiastic meeting of about seven hundred miners was held at the court house yard to-night A number of speeches were made, and among those who spoke by invitation were State Mine Inspector Thomas McQuade and Senator Thorp, of this city. It was decided by the miners of this city to remain away froi the mines to-morrow, and not go to work until the differences are adjusted. The miners will demand the pay established at the Columbus convention of the Miners and Mine-owners' Federation. A Knight of Labor's Experience. Newark (N. J.) Advertiser. ' A reporter was riding on the front platform of a car on one of the horse-car lines in this city on Labor day, as an organization that had been participating in the labor parade came along, aifd was surprised to hear the driver, a man whose appearance indicated that he was a person of more than ordinary intelligence, make some sarcastic remarks about the Knights of Labor. "Then you are not a Knight of Labor," said the reporter. "Yes, I am, or was, and the more fool I for being one. The Knights of Labor would be all right if they lived up to their principles; but these fellows don't I have got enough of Knights of Labor, and don't you forget it ! A little more than a year ago 1 was a mechanic, working at my bench in a factory in New England. I had been in this one shop ten years, always made good wages, averaging $18 per week and often higher. I bad a nice little home that I was trying to get paid for and was prosperous and happy. I liked my boss and he liked me. Well, about six months before that I had been persuaded to join the Knights of Labor. One day an officer of the district assembly came into the shop and ordered all us men to strike, for there was to be a general . strike in our trade, and I had to go out with the rest Well, 1 went out, and was idle two weeks. The Knights gave me $6 a week, when I had been getting $18, and I cot sick of the Knights. I went back to my boss and told him I was sick of the strike, and wanted to go to work, but he told me that my place was filled, and he could cot take me back. I did not blame him. For months I was unable to get work. The mortgage of my bouse was foreclosed and I lost it, and then I drifted about looking for work, and finally I got this place, and am mighty glad to bave it But there is a big difference between working twelve hours a day. standing on this platform in all sorts of weather and getting $2 per day, and working nine hours a day in a comfortable shop and getting $18 per week. That is what the Knights of Labor did for me. Oh, it is a grand organization, you bet" Convention of Journeymen Brewers. Detroit, Sept 12. The National Association of Journeymen Brewers assembled in con vention in this city at 10 o'clock this morning. Richard Schlagenweit, of St Louis, is president; Wm. Hipp, vice-president, and Louis Erbrun, secretary and treasurer. Delegates to about the number of one hundred are present, representing all the larger brewers' unions throughout the country. Matters of general interest to brewers will be discussed, but the chief aim of the convention is to agree upon a schedule of hours. and wages,and upon uniform co-operative nolicy toward manufacturing brewers. It is ex pected that the Eastern and Western unions will be weiaea into one siron, uorujuuiuuo -notation, which will be effective in obtaining for the journeymen better hours and wages in some quarters. The convention will continue for several days. Fonr Thousand Miners on Strike. Shamokin, Pa., Sept 12. The miners at the colleries of the Mineral Mining & Railroad Company, the Union Coal Company, the Excelsior Coal Company, the Enterprise Coal Company, and the Garfield Coal Company struck this morning for a general advance. It is estimated that four thousand men are ont on strike at Shamokin. The miners are thoroughly organ ized as Knights of Labor, and are prepared tor a long lockout No concessions were offered on either side. Labor Notes. Philadelphia Record. Prison 6hoes will continue to be made in the New York prisons by about 1,000 convicts. The Dainters in their National convention agreed not to restrict the number of appren tices. The stovemakers have an exceptionally pros perous year before them, but competition is very active. Manufacturers who have triad the division of profits scheme, do not, as a rule, like it, because it hampers them. Cheap labor is gradually disappearing from the manufacturing and mining localities in the South. ' The manufacturers of clothing have larger stocks on hand than for years, and entertain no fears as to selling everything at fnll prices. The Western plow manufacturers have a com mission to catch every member who sells a plow under schedule rates and to fine him. House building will be very generally pushed until late in the fall, in the West, by building and loan associations and individual investors. Rents in very many cities and towns are out of proportion to wages earned. The coopers throughout New York State and the West have been unable for years to better themselves much in the matter of wages. But few of the co-operative enterprises organ ized a year ago are prospering. loo sanguine expectations of large profits were generally indulged in. The increased use of precious stones has brought out patented methods for finishing them to the best advantage and more quickly than by old processes. The heavy influx of foreign labor ia having a depressing effect on wages in New England. About half of the men find stopping places in manufacturing towns. The bituminous coal operators along the At lantic slope are averaging nearly 30,000 tons per day. Several new mines will be opened next spring, and the producing capacity increased to 40,000 tons. In every Southern State agricultural and mechanical schools have been established. Louisiana has twenty-one industrial schools in which 3.126 boys are instructed in mechanical branches. There is a growing desire among the boys in the South to learn mechanical trades. Glass factories are projected at Chattanoogo and Knoxville, Tenn.. Birmingham, Ala., and Fort Scott. Over 100 foundries have been established this year west of the Mississippi, most of them by men from the East The building trades have been about the busi est. Many building projects in some Weetern cities bave been postponed until next year. Should wages and material advance in price the

new work will be no longer delayed, and only necessary work be undertaken. A drop of twenty-five cents per day will be insisted on in the building trades this winter. . A $300,000 electrical motor plant ia to be erected at Chicago. The Brooklyn and Coney Island Railroad will operate its line by electricity. Ten miles per hour will be the speed of the Columbus, (O.), electrical trains. One design of electrical motor has already been introduced into 120 different branches of industry. The demand for electrical appliances is so great that a number of works are to be built this winter. The brickmakers have had the busiest year for ten years. Capacity is being increased at all large brickmaking points, and makers of machinery are busy on machines for winter work. Fancy styles are coming into more general use in both city and country. Prices bave not variedduring the season, and orders are still pressing hard on capacity. The painters and decorators are gaining in strength. Wages have been beid at the advances made early in the spring and wore is abundant The decorative art is being developed by home talent, and the work of European decorators is in many respects excelled. American talent shows more originality and a keener perception as to beautiful combinations. The high office-building craze has extended to the West, where land ought to be plenty enough to prevent it At Omaha a ten-story office building will be erected at a cost of $600,000. Omaha .has expended so far this year nearly $4,000,000 in new buildings, and is crying for skilled labor to burry np matters before cold weather shall come. The demand for skilled labor is now at its maximum, and will probably continue so for two months. A great many establishments will begin overtime this week, some running as late as 10 p. m. Wages are stationary except in four ; or five industries, where demands for ten to twenty per cent advances are under consideration. Workmen who are more or less idle during the winter are anxious to save up. There are also probabilities that next spring will witness general strikes if the conditions shall be favorable. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Martin Renchler, of Springfield, O., aeed 32, fell into a vat of boiling water yesterday, at Schneider's brewery and was fatally scalded. In New York, Friday night, the large safe in the ceck-wear establishment of M. Borchardt, on Canal street, was blown open by burglars and silks valued at $8,500 stolen. Mr. Charles E. Locke has become sole proprietor of the National Opera Company. Mr. Locke attributes last year's failure to Mrs. Thurber, and denies that he received $S0O a week salary. He states that he got only a thousand dollars a month. Ferdinand Koch, of New York, aged 16, a young drunkard, went home Sunday night, quarreled with his mother and sister, and seizing a pair of scissors, attempted to Btab the former. Failing in his design, he drove the scissors into his own abdomen, nearly disemboweling himself. At Kansas City yesterday, James Williams brutally assaulted Anna Ellis, and afterwards fired a revolver at her, the bullet making a scalp wound. He was arrested. A mob collected and threatened to lynch him on the way to the station-house. Three of his confederates escaped. Two tinners. John and Henry Gunst, fell from the roof of a three-story building on Pennsylvania avenue. Pittsburg, yesterday. In the descent Henry struck a sharp stick which penetrated his brain, killing him instantly. John was badly injured, but may recover. The men were engaged in repairing a rain-pipe, when one of them slipped, and in trying to save him the other also lost his balance and the two .fell to the ground. Two Railwny Wrecks. Wheeling, Sept. 12. Two serious wrecks occurred yesterday on the Ben wood extension of the Panhandle road. The Ohio River express, which had no notice of a wild freight which had been ordered to the siding at Benwood, was seven minutes ahead of time, and met the freight on a trestle 30C yards from the siding. The passenger train engineer stopped his train, but the freight came on, and the two engines locked together. Five freight cars went over the trestle, and John Haddock, a brakeman, was hurt about the legs. Later an engine assisting to remove the wreck started to Wheeling, but encountered a cow at a trestle, and was thrown into a train of freight cars on a siding, nnd blocked the road by tearing up the trestling. The two wrecks are two miles apart, and no engine between. , . Fatal Tenement-House, Fire. Newark, N. J.. Sept. 12. Between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning a throe-story frame tenement-house on Middlesex street was destroyed by fire, with its contents, causing a loss of $2,000. The house was occupied by William Boelger and Daniel Wolf on the first and second floors, while on the top floor five Hungarians lived. Boelger and Wolf, with their families, escaped with only their night-clothes, but the Hungarians were penned in on the top floor. Three of these jumped to the ground and were seriously if not fatally injured. They were all badly burned, and the flesh of one is in shreds. Of the two others remaining in the' burning building, one jumped and landed unhurt in a tree; the other, Michael Dradjosky, aged 38 years, was burned to death. Horrible Experience with a Lunatic Detoit, Sept. 12. Burns Mcore is insane, but before the fact was ascertained his wife thought he was fiendish, and ebe was on the point of leaving him several times. Moore's insanity took the peculiar form of torturing himself to terrify his wife. This he did by forcing her to watch him when he would run a needle into his face and through his tongue, compelling ber to kiss the spot penetrated by the needle. He would often take a pair of scissors and revolver, force bis wife by threats of shooting her to sit close in front of him .while he cut his throat with the scissors. The strain on Mrs. Moore would probably have driven her insane if kept up much longer. Probate Judge Durfee sent Moore to the Pontiac insane asylum to-day. The Slade Assignment. New York, Sept. 12.

Slade & Co., dry goods commission merchants, filed to-day. show liabilities of $875,378, of which $470,000 are acceptances of Josiah Barber & Sons, manufacturers of cassimeres and carpets at Auburn, N.

At about midnight Saturday night, a small fire was discovered in the shoe store of James D. Thyng, on Main Btreet The firemen extinguished the flames and investigation showed that it was a deliberate attempt at incendiarism. Thyng has been arrested. It is learned that the insurance on the stock amounts, in all, to $28,000, while a recent invoice showed its value to be between $15,000 and $16,000. Thyng bears a good reputation. He was formerly in business in Boston. Samantha's Medical Adviser. From SaraanthA at Saratoga. 5 The idea would keep a savin' to me, "Saratoga is one of the most beautiful places in our native land. The waters will help you, the inspiriu' music, and elegance and gay enjoyment you will find there, will sort a uplift you. You had better go there on a tower;" and agin it sez, "Mebby it will help Josi&n's cores." And old Dr. Gale happenin' in about that time, I asked him about it (he doctored me when I wuz a baby, and I have helped 'em for years. Good old creetur, he don't get along as well ashe ort to. Loontown is a healthy place). I told him about my strong desire to go to Saratoga, and I asked him plain if he thought the water would help my pardner's corns. And he looked dretful wise and he riz up and walked across the floor 2 and fro several times, probably 3 times

to, and the same number of times fro, with his arms crossed back under the skirt of his coat and his eyebrows knit in deep thought, before he answered me. Finally be said, that modern science had not fully demonstrated yet the direct bearing of water on corn. In some eases it might and probably did stimulate 'em to greater lnxuriance, and then again a great flow of water might retard their growth. Sez I, anxiously, "Then yon'd advise me to f therewith him?" "Yes," sez he, "on the hull, I advise yoa U ga" Them words I reported to Josiah, and sea I In anxious axenta. "Dr. Gale advises us to ga" And Josiah sez, "I guess I sha'n't mind what that old fool sez."

An Apt Reply. Philadelphia Press. It was at dinner at Mr. George W. Child's few years since and some one asked Lord Hough ton, who was one of the gnests, if he would tak his duclr rare, "Rare? rare?" said the noble lord, "now there is another of your Americanism! which make it so di3cult to understand you, and, pray, what do yon mean by 'raref I ana profoundly erateful to say, and every American, J. know, will be eqnallgratful to hear that ther was a good' American present who promptly piped ont from the other end of the table so faf is true learning but too often removed from ti tie "We mean by 'rare.' my Lord, what Dry den meant when he wrote: 'Roast me quickly an egg, and see that it be rare."

Has a slender man or woman any rights In a horse car which a fat woman is bound to respect? Apparently Fatty thinks not, for she make nothing of standing on her two feet in the roadway and calmly saying, "You'll have to move. I can't get in there." And woe be to the slender person who does not obey! The best thing for a slender woman to da is to alight and perform the rest of her journey on foot: for, even if she move. Fatty will sit on her and crush her, and, when she wishes to leave the ear, will tell her to "get out on the other side. As for a man, no is even worse on; ior, aunougn jie De a cripple.
