Important Decision Affecting Many Cases In Western Indian Reservation a. Washington. Sept 2L The acting Commissioner of the General Land Office has granted a motion to review the decision of Commissioner Stockalager of Feb. 23, 18S9, in which indemnity for school lands in the Sileti and Grande Honde Indian reservations -was refused. The law granting the school lands to Oregon provides for indemnity in cases where the lands are sold or otherwise disposed of. Acting Commissioner Stone holds .that the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections, which lie within the boundaries of the two named reservations, are disposed of within the meaning of the law, and following the decision of Secretary Lamar in the case of Colorado, he holds that the State has the right to select other lands in Dlace thereof. Acting Commissioner "Stone, in closing his decision, says: "It is clear there is an apparent conflict in judicial opinions as to tne eHect of certain school sections being within Indian reservations at the time of the taking effect of the grant I think the weight of opinion is that a reservation for Indians is a disposal of the land in the meaning of the act Whetherl am right or not on this point, I feel safe in following J opinion of the Secretary of the Interior

r.i ir.o coiorauo case, mo xacis in tnai cac are similar to these, and I therefore reroke the decision of Feb. 23, ISbO, and hold that the State of Oregon has the right to select indemnity for school sections lying within the Siletz and Grande Konde Indian reservations. As to all other questions touching the selection and the lists, they are reserved for proper action inder the law when the lists come before the department for appro vaL" This decision is regarded as important as it will govern in all similar cases, of which there are a largo number in the West MXXOK MATTERS.

J" FEATHER-WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. Fight Between Frank Murphy, of England, and Tommy Warren, of America. San Francisco, Sept. 24. Tommy War ren, of Los Angeles, Cat, and Frank Murphy, of Birmingham, England, fought to a finish at the rooms of the California Athletic Club to-night for a purse of $1,800 and the featherweight championship. Murphy weighed 119, and was seconded by Martin Murphy and Patsy Hogan. Warren weighed about 118. His seconds were John Donald-' eon and Paddy Gorman. Hiram Cook was the referee. From the first to the tenth romd the men fought warily, Murphy doing most of the rusumg anu getting in a number ot mows, while Warren saved himself by clinching. H 3 seemed a trifle light, and slipped easily when Murphy rushed him. Murphy drew blood slightly from Warren's mouth by a hard left-hander in the third, and at the beginning of the eleventh round Warren's loft eve was swelling from the effects of the blows received while trying to duck. Murphy's face was also badly cut In the twelfth round Murphy punched Warren severely, and had apparently finished him, but clinching saved him. and he came un fresh. From the thirteenth to the twentveighth round Warren continued to receive Murphy's left handers and right and upper cuts lull in the 4aco without any special eff ort to make a return. His method of stopping blows was to drop his head, receiving them on the left ear and shoulder. He received some bad upper cuts in this way. In fighting, how ever, he punished Murphy about the face and ribs easily, and bore no more, if as many, marks as his opponent. At the end of the eighteenth he was thrown. From the twenty-third to twenty-sixth round. Warren gradually forced the fighting, and at tho end of the twenty-sixth Murphy was staggering, and out of breath. He freshened, however, in tho next round, but lost ground, and in the twenty-eighth was nearly knocked out by a right-hander on the ear. Negro Pugilist Killed. Atlanta, Ga., Sept 24.

FATAL BEAK-END COLLISION

Suburban Passenger Train Crashed Into by a Fast Freight, Xear Chicago. Five Persons Scalded to Death and Abont a Dozen Others Injured, One of Whom Will Die Casualties at Various Points, Chicago, Sept 24. A rear-end collision on the Chicago, Rock Island APacific railroad at Washington Heights, twelve miles from this city, at 6 o'clock to-night, resulted in the death of five persons and severe injury to a dozen others. A suburban passenger train, while standing still, was crashed into by a fast-freight train, and the rear coach of the passenger train was entirely demolished. Those in the car who were not instantly killed by the collision suffered terribly from escaping steam before they could bo rescued. Following is a list of the killed; MISS SADIE KELLY, an employe of the Rock Island Company. MK9. liriOWN. of Washington Heights. FRED HUEDXER. of Washington Heichtg. JAY McKENZIE, of Washington Heights. A WOMAN, yet unidentitied. The wounded areGusMulgahey. a boy, of ' Auburn 1'ark, badly Bcalded, and will die; Edward Smith, jr., badly scalded from waist down. Mr. O'Connor, badly scalded; Daniel Lawrence, lawyer, badly Bcalded; Anton Schorer, badly scalded, taken to county hospital;- Jacob Kuen, badly scalded; Mr. Wheeler, badly cut; Gottlieb Klein, 6calded; Parker Heradas, cut while rescuing his sister: Mrs. Steele, slightly injured. Some of those injured are in a serious condition, but it is thought that all will recover except Mulgahy. Another account says: Tho C:18 suburban train, on the Rock Island road, daily leaves at this point the Washington Heights coach, which a moment later is caught up by the dummy engine and hauled over the main line1 .o Washington Heights. This evening the car was left at this point as usual, when a moment later the passengers were horrified to see in the rear of them, and bearing down on them at tho rate of twelve miles an hour, a heavy freight train of the same road. There was no time for flight Tho engineer had reversed his engine, but the effect was hardly perceptible, and with almost undiminished speed the Luge engine, propelled by the heavy train, plowed into the passenger coach until the locomotive was entirely hidden in the wreck. Wild shrieks and groans announced tho horror of the disaster, and as the white steam formed in a thick cloud around the scene," the terrified spectators realized that the ill-fated passengers on the Washington Heights coach were being roasted alive. Willing hands lent all assistance that human efforts could render, but the engineer having failed to &hut off the steam, the steam box was blown out by the shock, and the death-dealing vapor hissed forth ceaselessly for nearly an hour. Strange to say not a person was killed by the force of the shock, every life that was lost being solely attributable to the scalding steam that enveloped the coach. The dead, as they were taken out, were fouud to be literally roasted, the flesh dropping from the hands and limbs, and the glaring eyes told the horror of the experience that had welcomed them at tho threshold of death. The wreck appears to have been entirely due to tho almost criminal carelessness of engineer Seth Twomblev, son of the master mechanic of the road. The passenger train was running on time, the signals were out at the semaphore, and yet the freight train, regardless of time and signals, plunged into the passenger coach at the rate of twelve miles an hour all withiu the city limits. The engineer reversed, but not until within a few rods of the passenger coach, and entirely too late to be of any avail. Both engineer and fireman leaped for their lives and escaped uninjured. Twoinbley at once took to night ami has not been heard from. It is stated that he was addicted to drink, and the presumption is that he was intoxicated at the time of the disaster. Fell llackward Under the Wheels. Wheeling. W. Va., Sept. 24. Au accident occurred ou the Pittsburg division of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at the east side of this city, this morning. A freight train going east ran into a gravel train, demolishing the engine and caboose. Tho engineer of the freight traip, Ed Gibson, and his fireman, jumped for their lives. Gibson struck a stone and fell backward under the wheels, which passed over his chest, killing him instantly. Gibson lived at Glenwood, Pa., where he leaves a wife and two children. Struck Dy an Eiprehs Train. . Paterson. N. J., Sept. 24. Nicholas C.

The frivolous characterof the complaints in many cases ot divorce recently granted and now on the docket leads thoughtful people to ask: Vhat are we coming to!" We do not know that the wives in a given number of cases are more blamable than tho husbands, but it is the wives who sutler the most from such sundered relations. As a rule, they suffer more in their affections and in their reputations than the stronger 9C, 11 tin uirio i.- Bi'iiiiriiJiiiK i" iu said in favor of a law of divorce which sep arates mismated couples, there in no condemnation too severe for men or women who enter the marriage state with the idea in their minds that if they do not like it thev will take advantage of the law that allows them to escape. Yet there is no doubt that thoughtlens young men and giddy girls often do approach the altar with that thought in their minds. In cases where tho husband is very young the idea is utt to irrow in strength as the years nans. He finds himself, while on the snnny side of thirty, with a wife who has pnssiblr lost some of her girlish beauty, and children whose necessities absorb the greater nart of his earnings. He compares the free and independent lifoof some of his bachelor associates, and imagination magnifies the pleasures be might participate iu if he was unmarried. Some day the wife, who is ill-prepared to tight the battles of life alone, is stunnea uy mo service or nn application for divorce. Cases of this kind. we reirrct to say, aro not uncommon. Al most every oue can recall one or more in his own circle of acquaintances. Of course. If the real reason were preferred iu the application less harm would bo done: but the legal necessity of setting forth reasons often suggests a resort to falsehood. Tritles in the way of disagreements will be magnified and batM'less muspicion urged as matters of fact The remedy for them, as for most other evils.
