THROUGH A TRESTLE. Serious Railway Accident in Arkansas, in Which One Man Is Killed and Many Injured. Pine Bluff, Ark., Juno 25. The northbonnd passenger train on the St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas railway struck a cow jnst at the trestle bridge across Crooked bayou. The engine was thrown from the track, and went thundering across the tics, and shattered tho bridge to pieces. The express car, baggage and mail car and two passenger coaches went into the bayou, twenty -eight feet below, tho sleeping car "Oneida" and engine only remaining on the track. S. C. Stafford, route agent of the Southern Express Company, was killed instantly, being fearfully mangled. Postal clerks Jackson and Sanguin were terribly bruised up, and will probably die; a lady, name unknown, suffered from several concussions about the head, while a large nnmber of people received less serious bruises and injuries. A relief train went out from here at 4:30 o'clock, and returned at 10 o'clock with Stafford's body, and the passengers who were not injured. The wounded were left at Galdman, where they are receiving attention from tho company's surgeons. A wrecking train is at work at tho scene tonight A TEXAS VENDETTA. The Fighting Men of Two Connties Beyond the Control of the Authorities. Austin, Tcx., June 25. The killing of Red Gibson at Wharton, last Saturday, by Kyle Terry, has stirred up bid blood in Wharton and the adjoining county of Fort Bend, and there are grave fears that the opposing factions will clash and much blood be shed. The Governor last night received several telegrams in reference to the trouble, which has been brewing for over a year. Sheriff Garvey, of Fort Bend, says that he is unable to enforce the law without a conflict of arms, and asks assistance from the State. County Judge C. M. Weston sends official notification that officers of the county are powerless to enforce the law and disarm the community, and says the public peace and safety of the county demand that it be done by some other power. Sheriff J. W. Jones, of Wharton, telegraphs that the force at hand is very inadequate to uphold the law, and asks that the Victoria Rifles be ordered there to assist in maintaining reace during the trial. In compliance with the above, the Governor last night ordered the Victoria Rifles to -Wharton, and this morning ordered Captain Jones's rangers to Richmond. The feud is a political one, but is not confined to Republicans on one side and Democrats on the other, but is a mixture. Democrats and Republicans, prominent ones, too, aro mixed up in each of tho parties. Terry, who killed Gibson, is a son of Colonel Terry, of the famous Terry Rangers, and has a strong following. Gibson, whom he killed, was a prominent man, and had scores of friends. TELEGRAnilC BREVITIES. Tom Wolfolk, who murdered nine of his family, has been convicted in an Atlanta, Ga.. court of murder in the tirst degree. He was sentenced to be hanged Aug. lb.

Hoy borrowed the money on the Chinese new year to square his accounts. Among the year's graduates of tho Hebrew Union College at Cincinnati, which holds its commencement next Friday, Adolph Gutmacher, of Chicaco, has been ordained rabbi at Fort Wayne, and Isaao Rypius, of New ork, rabbi at Evansville. The fight between Johnny Griffin and Tommy Warren, which was to have taken place under the auspices of the California Athletic Club, June 28, has been postponed until July 12. on account of the injuries received by Warren while exercising. The Supreme Grand Consistory of tho Sovereign Inspectors-general of the Thirtythird and last degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottih Rite, better known as the Cerneau branch of Masonry of the United States, completed its annual session in Louisville last night.

A Conference at the White House Over the Provisions of the Samoan Treaty. The Censns Bureau Divides the Country Into Supervisors' Districts Secretary Tracy Nails a Lie Why Postmasters Are Kemored. TIIE SAMOAN TREATY.. Mr. rnelps Lays a Copy of It Before Secretary Blaine and the President. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June25. There was a very important conference at the White House to-day. The conferees were President Harrison, Secretary Blaine and Commissioner Phelps. The latter bore with him a little yellow leathern bag, of which he was very careful. He has had that littlo receptacle constantly by his side during the past ten days, and has never permitted any one to touch it or assist him in carrying it Its contents were the convention signed by tho commissioners of the United States,Germany and England at the conference recently closed in Berlin. He crme directly to Washington after landing in New York yesterday, and brought the treaty to the President with as little delay as possible. Tho conference lasted some time, and the provisions . of the treaty were afterwards considered in Cabinet meeting, but no one who was present at tho conference or the subsequent meeting is disposed to give any information upon the subject. Commissioner Phelps was never noted for his desire to enlighten the public through the medium of tho newspaper press, and his European trip has not changed him in tho least in this respect. He was as amiable and suave as ever, but positively declined to give tho least information or to express the fainest opinion upon the subject of the business which took him and his confreres to Europe. The only thing he would say in reference to the matter was that in his opinion the treaty is satisfactory to all parties. He was impressed with the courtesy of the conference in conducting the negotiations in English, and said that it was the tirst time that the French language had been ignored in diplomatic conferences. Very general satisfaction is expressed on all sides with the result of tho Samoan conference, and no doubt is entertained anywhere that the treaty will be ratified promptly after its submission to the Senate. PREPARING FOR THE CENSUS. Superintendent Porter Divides the Country into 173 Supervisors Districts. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 25. Superintendent Porter, of tho Censns Bureau, has divided the country into 173 census districts for the purpose of taking the next census, each one of which will be in charge of a supervisor. In 1880 the country was divided into 150 districts. The apportionment of districts among the several States is as follows: Alabama 5 Missouri 8 Montana 1 Nebraska.... 3 Nevada 1 New Hampshire 1 New Jersey 3 New Mexico 1 Arizona 1 Arkansas 3 California 5 Colorado 2 Connecticut. 2 Delaware 1 District of Columbia.. 1 New York 11 Dakota 3 North Carolina 5 Florida .... 1 Ohio 8 Georgia 6 Oregon 2 Idaho 1 ! Pennsylvania 10 Illinois 8 j Rhode Island 1 Indiana 6 South Carolina 4 Iowa 4 iTcnnessee 5 Kansas 3;Texas 8 Kentucky 6 Utah 1 Louisiana 4 Vermont 1 Virginia 5 Washington 2 West Virginia 2 Wisconsin 5 Maine 2 Maryland 3 Massachusetts 1 Michigan 6 Minnesota 4!Wyoniing 1 Mississippi 4 1 The census appropriation provides for 175 supervisors, and it is probable that the two remaining districts will bo Oklahoma and Alaska. A MUGWC3IP LIE. Secretary Tracy Denounces the Story of a . "Wholesale Discharge of Democrats. Washington, June 25. Secretary Tracy authorizes an emphatic denial of the story that his recent visit to the New York navyyard was connected with or attended by the wholesale discharge of Democratic em ployes. The Secretary says that these discharges are alleged to have occurred in tho department of master machinist Howatt, but the Chief of the Bureau of Engineering is authority for the statement that there has been no reduction of the force employed there. Instead of a deficiency, the Bureau of Engineering has had a surplus of money set apart for the New York navv-yard for tho past three months. Of the $8,2t58 allotted lor April, $593 was not expended; of the May allowance of $7,000, the sum of 1,305 was saved, and for the present month there is $8,500 available, all of which will be expended, as orders to that effect have been sent to New York. Secretary Tracy says that he has given instructions that in making discharges or reductions of the force of workingmen at navy-yards no heed is to be paid to politics and no consideration given to the fact that a man is a Democrat or Republican, but efficiency, puro and simple, is to be the test. MINOR MATTERS. Drunkenness and Neglect of Duty the Cause of Many Postmasters Being Removed. New York, June 25. The Mail and Express, to-night, prints a long interview with Postmaster-general Wanamaker, in which he says: "Removals are not made rapidly. There has been often much criticism, simply because of the politics involved, when the sole cause of the removal has been drunkenness, neglect of duty, and clearly proved unfitness to hold the important ofhco of postmaster. In some cases postmasters have returned to their business occupation and allowed their offices to drift. The people who are drawing their pav from the government ought to oe compelled to givo faithful service or resign, and if they do neither tho department will recommend their removal, no matter how much criticism and misapprehension of tho fact may bo made." Indiana Pensions. Pensions have been granted to the following-named Indianians; Orisrinal Invalid-Martin B. Langwell, Theodore Kouth. John R. White, Wm. Logan, Daniel S. Martin, David Y.

Special to the Indianapolis Joursat Washington, June 25. The hotels of Washington are full of people who talk with their fingers, the commencement exercises of the deaf and dumb college at Kendall Green occurring this week. They

are of more than usual interest this year, as the most conspicuous feature of the exercises will be the dedication of a monument in honor of Dr. Gallaudet, the founder of the college in Washington, and the pioneer in the education of the speechless in this country. His work is well known all over the world, and nearly all institutions are conducted upon the plan originally laid down by him. The Washington college is the only institution of higher education in the United States. The course is similar to that of the ordinary first-class colleges, and it is the only place in the United States where a deaf and dumb person can get a classical or scientific education. Dr. Gallaudet. the present president, is a son of the founder. Appointments by the President. Washington, June 25. The President mado the following appointments to-day: Henry II. Lawrence, to be assayer of the mint of the United States at San Francisco. Michael E. Smith, to be assayer in charge of the mint of tho United States at Denver. CoL . m n , James E. Fitch, of the District of Columbia, to be trustee of tho Reform School of the District of Columbia. May Not Be Called Until November, Washington, Juno 23. It is thought likely now that the extra session of Congress, which the President is expected to call, will not be held until November. The impression has prevailed that Congress would likely be called together in October, but several Senators, prominent on the Republican side of the chamber. have6tated recently that the President would not call the Congress together before the first week in November. Money for the Pensioners, Washington, June 25. The Pension Office to-day made reqnisititions upon the Treasury Department for 15,000,000 out of the appropriation to be available July 1.

Though Pennsylvania won the race, they are given but littlo credit,- Yalo getting by far the larger share. At one and a half mile Yale looked a sure dinner, but when near the finish No. 3 unshipped his seat and caught a crab. He secured himself quickly, but for the last half mile he was little more than a passenger. The Quaker City oarsmen spurted at that point, and. by the most strenuous efl'orts. poked the boom of their boat ahead ot i ale just before the line was reached. General Cameron Growing Weaker.

An Awful Accident That Befel the Fore man of an Evansville TVooien-Mill. Concordia College Celebration Matrimonial Disturbances at Lafayette Encampment of Illinois Sons of Veterans. INDIANA. An Employe of an Evansville Cotton-31111 Cut in Two with a Circular Saw. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, June 25. Wm. II. Osborne, foreman of the weaving department of tho cotton-mills, while standing in a saw-mill this morning watching the men at work, suddenly pitched forward on a circular saw, which was in motion, and met with a most horrible death. The body was com pletely cut in two, the head and shoulders falling on one side of the machine and the balance of tho body on the other. The bodv first struck the saw on the right shoulder and tho saw took a slightly diagonal courso across the body, cutting off the left arm just above the elbow. Death was instantaneous, and by the time the machinery was stopped and the mangled remains picked up every trace of life was extinct. The unfortunate man never made an outcry, proving beyond all peradventnre that his death was painless. Osborne has been ailing for several days. His complaint has been a nervous dizziness, probably superinduced by the noise of thomachinervat the cottonmills, and ho has frequently reeled and staggered when an attack of the kind has come over him. It is supposed the vounar man was overcome by one of the dizzy spells ana pitcned forward into tbe machine. Various other stones were afloat, it being even stated that the vounz man had com mitted suicide, but this rumor was gener ally discredited, for the horrible manner of the death seemed to preclude the possi bility that any one should voluntarily take his life in such a manner. Osborne had only been married three weeks. "Daddy" Gantt's Life. SpectaT to the Iinllanmpolis Journal. Columbus, June 25. John G. Gantt, tho celebrated tramp printer, has been in this city during the past three days.

The longest tramp he ever made was in 18S4, when he left this city and traveled throngh all of the States between here and Florida, and returned by tho same route, reaching Cassopolis, Mich., just six months from the date ne left here. Ho kept a careful record of the number of miles walked, and the en tire length df the journey was 2,800 miles. For a man then sixty-five years of age this certainly was a remarkable feat. This veteran printer has a great failiuc for "drink." but his coustant indulgence does not 6eem to have weakened his mental faculties, and he possesses a remarkablo fund of informa tion, picked up by reading and experience. He recentlv started a verv miimie news paper called "Gantt's Typographical Tourist." It is published "on the road," and gives interesting items concerning the craft. Concordia College Celebration. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Fort Wayne, June 25. Tho celebration of the semi-centennial anniversary of the founding of Concordia College is in progress here.

The character of the conversation is not known, but Mrs. Cass suddenly raised the whip and brought it down with all her might upon the head and shoulders of her husband. She struck him several times before the whip was taken from her. As a result of tbe beating a great red mark was mado upon the left cheek and ear of Mr. Cass.

OBITUARY. Mrs. Lucy Ware Webb Hayes, Wife of the Ex-President. Fremont, O., June 25. Mrs. Hayes died this morning, at half-past six o'clock. All inght long the sorrowful family watched around the bedside. Mrs. Hayes lay motionless, and but for the weak fluttering of tho pulse and breathing there was no indications of life. The anxious watchers, waiting only for the inevitable end. were bowed with grief, and scarcely a word was spoken all night through. The physicians kept in the background, and the family were alone with their loved one. In vain they hoped for a slight rally that might come before death, so that she could recognize and speak ,to them. As morning dawned tho hold on life grew weaker and weaker, and finally tho spirit took flight In a voice choked with grief, the physicians announced that tbe end had come, and the family's long vigil closed in prostration and grief. General Hayes and his four grown sons Burchard, Webb, Rud and Scott were deeply affected, while Fannie is nearly prostrated with grief and her long sleepless watch at her mother's bedside. The entire city is in mourning and flags are at half-mast. Telegrams of condolence havo been received from raanv friends, among them President and Mrs, Harrison. .During last evening Mrs. Hayes's pastor. Rev. J. M. Mills, and Rev. C. E. Barnes, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, were there, and were requested to hold oervices in the sick-room. Only the family and attending physicians were present Under such circumstances. the near presence of death, and the tender petitions that were offered, a yielding to their pent-up sorrow would naturally have been expected, but while there was evidence of very deep feeling.there was the exhibition of wouderf ul 6elf -control. Affection there runs deep, but is not demonstrative. They all have borne the sorrow bravely. Only a short time before death came Gen. Hayes, in the presence of those around tho bedside, paid his wife some tributes that were beautiful and tender. The funeral will occur Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, from tho residence in Spiegel Grove. Complete arrangements have not yet been made. President L. D. McCabe, of Delaware University, will be the officiating clergyman. President McCabe officiated at their marriage, and also at their silver wedding anniversary. At all hours during the past three days hundreds of inquiries were made in regard to her condition by citizens. Many of these came from poor people, showing how much concern they felt for the noble woman. It has often been remarked that they would miss her many acts of kindness and charity, she always having a smile and pleasant word for them. Mrs. Hayes was the first lady to be made a member of the Army of West Virginia, the badge of which society she always prized very highly. This evening, in speaking of the winters sho spent with him while with the army, in West Virginia, the General referred to the kind feeling of the soldiers for her in recognition of her motherly care for them, and with pleasure spoke of the 6ilver plate presented to Mrs. Hayes on their silver wedding anniversary, in 1877, by iembers of his old regiment, the Twenty-third Ohio. At the top of the medal are grouped the battle-flags of the regiment, and at tho bottom is a drawing of the log-house occupied by the General and Mrs. Hayes as his headquarters.

Washington, June 25. News of tha death of Mrs. Hayes was received with a feeling of genuine sorrow and regret by the older employes of tho Whito House, to whom she was endeared by fond recollections of her kindness to them while she was mistress of the White House. One of tho 'older door-keepers, in speaking of her, said: "Mrs. Hayes was a good, kind woman, if ever there was one. Every one about tho White House liked and loved her. Sho seemed to take notice of all those around her, and she would often stop us to make inquiry about how we were getting along. At' that timo I was not regularly employed here, but was sent to. help the others whenever there was a big reception or anything of that kind. Idid not suppose that Mrs. Hay e would notice me in such a crowd and recollect me afterwards, but she met me on tha street ono day when I had not been to tho White House for a long timo before, aud stopped me. She talked with me. I think, for bfteen minutes or more, inquiring about my family, and how I was getting along. It is not every woman high up in socict3' that would chat with a poor man that way on tho street, and I tell yon I never forgot it Mrs. Hayes was a big favorite with those who came hero and every bit as popular as Mrs. Cleveland, only that Mrs. Hayes was an old woman, while Mrs. Cleveland was a young bride. They both had that 6ame way of attracting people. I will always remember Airs. Hayeb s last reception. I never Baw such crowds. Tha women pressed in, and would hardly move when they had passed throngh the line, pleading for only ono more look. Wo had to close the doors when there were lots of people outside, and many went homo disappointed because they could not see her." Marine News. London, June 25. Sighted: Egypt from New York.

Gainesville, Tex., June 25. Fire broke cut in the tin-cornice factory of Thompson Bros., this morning, at 1 o clock, and was immediately followed by a terrific explosion, which shattered everything within the building, wrenching the heavy doors from their fastenings and blowing them across tho street. It is not known what caused the explosion, but it is thought that a large quantity of powder had been placed under the floor by incendiaries, who then built a lire on the floor immediately over the explosive substance, which had been placed under the floor about the center of the room. The explosion shook the entire city as if an earthquake had struck it The damage to tbe house aud stock is about $20,000, mostly covered by insurance. Ventura, Cal., June 25. The oil steamer W. L.

Wait Till You Know the Fact. New York Sun. A writer In Notes and Queries calls attention to a imilar misquotation. The last words f ilabakkulc, ii, 2, "write the vision and make it plain so that he may run that readeth it," aro commonly turned into "that be who runs may read it." Tut this in your common-place book. New York Tribune. Don't make the entry, however, until yaw are sure you know what you aro about. Every few months some genius discovers that tho phrase "he that runs may read" is a misquotation from Habakktik. That is not the case. It is an accurate quotation from the lines in William Cowpers "Tirocinium:" 'Shine by the side of every path we tread With such a lustre, he that runs may read." It is a literary blnnder, of course, to mix up Cowper and Habakkuk, but the phrase He that runs mav read" is not from tho Book of Habakkuk, and it is not a misquotation. Only Applies to Corporations. Chicago Journal. Eight years ago Kato Shelly, then in her teens, imperiled her lifo to save a passetiScr train from plunging mto iho Des loines river, and succeeded. Now 6he is reluctantly telling the story of her heroism to save her mother from the grip of a mortgage. There is a moral attached to this, but it only applies to corporations, and as corporations have no souls it is useless to waste ink in printing it. Both Went. New York Sun.
