Special to tbo Xcdlarapolis JonrnaL South Bend, Ind., Jan. I. This city waa shocked to-day by one of the most sickeniun accidents which has ocenrrod here for some time, and one which resulted in the death of two young people, Edward pann and Miss Seift. The former was a young man with a lar circle of friends, and the young woman was the eldest dangnter of Christian Seig, a leading mason and con tractor of the city. They were engaged to be married, and the nnptlaln would probably have soon been celebrated. Shortly after the dinner hour Miss 8eig went oat to the gate, and looking up the street, saw her layer coming toward her home. She went to meet him, and they stopped and began talking as to where the afternoon should be spent. Right back of them, and on a line with the sidewalk, was an eight-inch brick wall, twenty-two feet high, and standing on ground owned by tho Birdaell Manufacturing Company. A strong wind was blowing, and the wall, which was said to be out of plumb, toppled and fell forward without any warning, burying the two young people beneath tho great mas a of brick and mortar. Miss Seig was killed instantly. Her head laid across the yonng man's body, and was crushed to a shapeless mass. Her blood and brains covered the bricics around. Soonn's head was also crushed and a num ber ot bones broken, but he lived a short time after being removed from the debris. MIDWINTER RAriSa.

NEW YEAR'S AT THE CAPITAL

Official?, Diplomates and Citizens Greet ed by President and Mrs. Harrison. White Horns Resplendent fn Electric eights, .New Decorations and Fittings, bat Too Small to Accommodate the Crowd. Brief Description of the Dresses Worn by Members of the Receiving Party. Receptions at the Residences of the YloPres . ident and Members of the Cabinet Diplomatic Corps Entertained by Mr. Blaine. AT THE WHITE HOUSE. President and Mrs. Ilarriaou and Wives of Cabinet Officers Receive in the lllae Tartar. special to the IcdiacapoUs Journal. Washington, Jan. L The weather, which for the past week or two had been atrocious, was all that could be desired today, being enjoyable and seasonable. For the New Year's reception at the White House elaborate arrangements had been made, but with eveu more striking effect than ever. Since New Year, 1891, the lower floor of the executive mansion, with the exception of the Fast Room, had practically all been redecorated and refitted. The general good effect of the changes and improvements was heightened by the presence of electric lights, which, except in the Blue Room, have been added since the last similar reception was given. But the rush of the crowd to-day demonstrated anew tho truth of the statement that until the mansion is enlarged according to the plans of Mrs. Harrison, or otherwise, it will not accommodate, with any degree ot comfort, a tithe of those who would like to participate in euch an event For this occasion the White House was made as brilliant and attractive as possible, and the tout ensemble surpassed that of any previous reception. The New Year's reception began at 11 o'clock, diflerent clashes of official callers being admitted at stated periods until 12:35, when the general publio made their appearance. So it was that just as the hands of the common eightday clock at the foot of the stairway in the business side of the mansion, staring him in the face, stood at 11 o'clock, John Philip &ousa, director of the Marine Band, waved bis baton and the band struck up tho "Occidental March," a composition of his own. It was then the President and Mrs. Harrison and the members of the receiving party descended to take their plaoes in the Bine Parlor. The change which releaated to the limbo of obscurity the old-time "See, the Conquering Hero Comes' was very gratefnl to the party, and Mr. Sonsa. for his delicate consideration, received the hearty if silent thanks of every member. As the party gathered in the Bine Parlor greetings and compliments were exchanged with each other and the favored ones who had preceded them into the apartment. The otlicial order of the reception tens followed. The diplomatic corps, resplendant in brilliant uniforms, accompanied by the intercontinental railway commissioners, came first, and as a compliment to them tho Marine Band played airs of all nations. In regular order carao the Supreme Court of the United States and other members ct the federal judiciary: then Senators and Representatives in Congress and their ladies, new members predominating: then the otlieers of the executive deportments of publio institutions, and war veterans, and then the reception of the general publio for an hour and a half.

Princeton's Foot-Ball Team Captain Mysteriously Disappears from Oo National Capital Washington, Jan. l.The sudden and mysterious disappearance of the Princeton foot-ball team captain, Ralph Warren, perplexes the police aud is a source of the greatest anxiety to his relatives and friends in New York nd Washington. There is probably hot afudnt 'Princeton who is niore'geaerJly known throughout the country than young Warren on aocount of his prominent connection with the famous foot-ball team. Mr. Warren, after a season of hard study and severe physical training in the gymnasium, came to Washington with bis classmate, a son of George , P. Frazer, who lives at No. 2013 Hillyer place, to spend the holidays. Ever since the last foot-ball game in which Princeton participated Mr. Warren haa suffered from injuries received on the field. In this game, beside a braise of the nose, he received a severe twist of the neck. He did not pay mueh attention to his hurts at the time, but since then he has complained of pains in bis head. Young Warren and his classmate arrived in Washington several days ago, and went at once to the Frazer residence. They attended the concert giveu by the Princeton Glee Club' Monday night, and went home together early. At that hour young Warren seemed to be perfectly rational. About C o'clock the next morning the butler noticed Warren going out without his overcoat and remarked to him: "You had better take your overcoat, eir; it is cold." "No," replied Warren. MI am going for a short, brisk walk, and will return presently." The butler noticed that Warren turned to the right, toward Twenty-first street, which would take him out of town. Yesterday afternoon the unole of the yonng; man, Wm. A. Torrey came over from New York to assist in the search. Mr. Torrey visited police headquarters, and the entire machinery of- the police department has been put into operation in an endeavor to locate the missing man. No definite clew has as yet been obtained. It was reported last evening, however, that a young man answering to the description ot Warren was seen in the Ebbitt House yesterday. Foul play is feared, but the sugges tion is also mado that the injuries re ceived by Mr. Warren in the foot-ball game finally affected his brain, and that ho wandered away somewhat confused in mind. Tnrns Up at New York. New York, Jan. 1. Tho mystery surrounding the disappearance of Ralph II. Warren, the well-known Princeton College foot-ball player, has been settled. The young man walked into his residence in this city at C:S0 this evening. He was first met by his mother, whom he greeted affectionately, and apparently was little distorbed by tho sensation his disappearance bad caused. Warren was tired, and no one was allowed to see him to-niirht. but his uncle. Frederick Crosby, says tney hoped, with rest and quietude, he would come around again all right. "Ralph." said Mr. Crosby, "has made sev eral voluntary statements. He said that he remembers Ieaviug Mr. Frazer's to go for a short walk. He walked further than he intended. The next thing he remembers was his intention to start for Harper's t erry. "Affor mnvintr thii" A f Crnth "Ralph's story is somewhat incoherent and we could get nothing more from bim except that bo went to Baltimore, where he stayed at a hotel two days. He then decided to come home. Just before lie took the ferry-boat from Jersey City, on his way to New York, he resd the account of his dis appearance in a morning paper." This is all the voluntary statement young XT' A. 1 . . . . - i uiii-ii uau luauo up iu a iaie uour lo-nigut, and his relatives, acting on the advice of the family physician, did not attempt to urge mm to give any iunner particulars until ne had rested and recuperated.

NEW KANSAS SENATOR. Ex-Congressman Perkins Appointed to the Seat Made Vacant by the Death or Plumb. ToPEKA,Kan., Jan.l. The fight is ended. The new year was ushered in most auspiciously for ex-Congressman Perkins, lie has been appointed to the senatorial chair made vacant by the death of Senator Plumb. All day long the Governor disoussed the senatorial situation with himself. Early this morning his private secretary announced that Governor Humphrey would receive no callers, denying himself to all alike, whether on a private, publio or political errand. At 10 o'clock the Governor entered the executive othce and began pacing up and down the floor. The lieutenants of the various candidates were on hand. They were informed that the Governor would not receive them. His wishes seemed to count for little. The numerous callers proceeded to camp in the executive reception-room, declaring they would wait for a favorable opportunity, and it took considerable argument, on the part of the private secretary, to dislodge them from the vantage ground. This, however, was eventually accomplished, and the Governor, for the first time in a week, was left to consider the situation alone. All day long the feeling was strong that ex-Congressman Perkins would receive the appointment, and when it beoame known that the Governor had signed his commission as Senator from the State of Kansas no one evinced any very considerable surprise. The commission was signed at 5:15 o'clock, and immediately taken, to Mr. Perkins. The news spread rapidly throughout the city, and in a brief time a large number of citizens, irrespective of political belief, offered Mr. Perkins their confratulations. Nor were his former poitical contestants in the race for the appointment delinquent in that respect They came from all portions of the town, for many of them had eaten New Year's dinner with their friends in Topeka, and they. too. offered their congratulations. Congratulatory telegrams have been ponring in from all points of tho country, east and west all evening. The appointment gives general satisfaction, and will, it is thought, have the etiect of solidifying the opposing factions in the Republican party in a phalanx that will present a solid front to the enemy at the next election. In an interview this evening Governor Humphrey stated that no political or personal preference had actuated him In coming to a decision. He had, in fact, reached no decision a -decision reached him. He had appointed Mr. Perkins to succeed Senator Plumb because he con tddered him the best equipped man for the place. He I Perkins had been closely associated with Senator Plumb while he I Perkins was a member of Congress, and could take up the work at the point death relieved Senator Plumb of bis labors, better, perhaps, than any of the other candidates. CONTEST OF TIIK CADIDATES. The contest for the appointment Was a unique one, even in Kansas politics. The death of Senator Plumb had scarcely been announced before the various aspirants began laying wires for the succession to his seat Before his body reached Kansas the contest had fairly commenoed, and during the funeral journey from Kansas City to the grave the war went merrily on. The day after the funeral the political hosts which had been in attendance upon the solemn occasion assembled in Topeka. The various candidates went to work with a system. They established headquarters at the various hotels, chose their lieutenants and marshaled their forces as if there was a whole Legislature to work upon instead of one Governor. The Governor decided to give each candidate and his friends an open caring for the presentation of their claims, and as each candidate was announced he was given a number according to the succession of his announcement Two candidates were heard each day until the list was exhausted, the exhaustion of the list taking place Wednesday. Since that time the Governor has apparently been thinking the matter over, weighing the claims of the vaiions aspirants, although it is said by some his choice was made immediately upon the death of Senator Plumb, but unannounced. The most prominent candidates were Congressmen Funaton and Morrill. Major Hudson, editor of the Topeka Capital, the Republican newspaper organ of the State; Benjamin Simpson, United States district attorney; J. W. Ady, and a host of obscure candidates and a number of dark horses. George W. Peck, general solicitor of the Atchison, Topeka Sc Santa Fe Railway Company, and Chief-justice llorton, of the Kansas Supreme Court, were prominently mentioned at first, but both peremptorily announced at the very outset that they could not accept the appointment. WHO THE APPOINTEE 13. Bishop W. Perkins was born at Rochester, O., and was fifty-nine years old Oct. 18, last. Ho was educated in the publio schools and at Knox College, Galesbnrg, I1L After leaving collego he went to Colorado, and on his return, in 1862, enlisted in Company D, Eighty-third Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He served as sergeant and lieutenant and, in December, 18C3, was appointed adjutant of the Sixteenth Colored Infantry. Later he was assigned to duty as captain of Company C, of the same regiment. He served as jndge advocate on the staff of General Gillem. and also in the same position on the start of General Steedman; was mustered out at Nashville in May, iscc, and returned to Illinois and resumed the study of law. reading with O.' C. Gray at Ottawa. After being admitted to the bar in 1807 he located at Pierceton, Ind., where he remained nntil he came to Oswego. Kan., in April, 18tf.. The same year he was appointed county attorney, and the following year probate judge, which office he held until February, 1672, when he waa elected judge of the Eleventh judjcial district. He was re-elected in 1S74 and li7, and in November. 1S&!, was elected a member of Congress. Mr. Perkins is a Republican, sincere in his convictions and aggressive in his expressions. He was a delegate to the Chicago convention in 18S0. lie was eleeted member of Congress from the Third district. He was re-elected for tiree successive terms, but met defeat a rear ago at the hands of the Farmers' Alliance. He was editor and proprietor of the Oswego Register from the fall of the year 1871 until appointed district judge Id 1973. THE OHIO CONTIIST. One of Foraker's 3Irn Shoots Off Ilia Month . Wht Senator Shermau Says. Coi.UMSrs, O.. Jan. 1. It looks as though the solution of the Ohio senatorial contest may be known to the Nation within a day or two despite the fact that the Re publictxk cssatorfel csccj is fully t:n feyi oil.

Of the ninety-three Republican members

all but about a dozen have already de clared themselves, and, as these declara tions leave Senator Sherman and exGovernor Foraker about even in strength, the publio anxiety is becoming so intense that the doubtful must soon publicly de clare themselves and thus solve the contest leaving the caucus merely a formal affair and its regalt a foregone conclusion. Senator Sherman and ex-Governor foraker each expressed confidence to-day on the result but neither cared to give definite figures. The one important event of the day has been the general protest of Mr. Foraker's friends against the alleged interference of the office-holders of the national a dininistration in the interest of Senator Sherman. Congressman Enochs, of the Twelfth district, and Wm. Ilinkley, of Sidney, have both taken occasion to criticise this influence, Mr. Bmkley, who is one of Mr. Foraker's leading managers, is particularly severe. "It is simply outrageous," said he, to-day, "that this army of federal officeholders should invade Columbus and attempt to dictate the senatorship. It is a shame upon our citizenship that tbe national administration should lend its influence to a State affair of this kind and permit all the appointees to come here under government pay and take a baud in the matter. The disposition of all the local federal appointments in this State has been under a referee system, Senator Sherman appointing the referee in each locality and that man dictating the appointments in his section of the State. Today we find these referees and all the men who have profited under their appointments here working for Sherman's reelection. These men are reinforced by a multitude of office-holders from Washington nntil there are three or four federal office-holders on the ground to every member of tbe General Assembly. Secretary of the Treasury Fostor would have done well to follow the salutary lesson of propriety f:iven him by Secretary Blaine when the atter wrote a letter refusing to participate in the contest. I say now as a man who knows tbe politics and the people of this State that, as a result of all this. President Harrison cannot carry the State of Ohio if he is re-nominated next spring." WHAT SENATOR SHERMAN SAYS. A visit to Senator Sherman's headquarters found his followers confident of cuocess and disposed to make merry over the complaints of Governor Foraker's friends of the impropriety of office-holders expressing their personal preferences in the contest "The friends of Governor Foraker complain. Senator, that undue ontside influences are being exerted in your behalf, and poiut particularly to the array of federal office-holders who are working in your interest. Have you anything to eay to thisf" "I can only say." replied the Senator. ."that all the former office-holders under Governor t oraker are tor him also. Nearly everybody that ever served under him seems to be laboring in his behalf. 1 don't see that there is any difference in this respect That people connected with the national administration, that people outside the State, are personally for me, should, it seems to me. be an incident rather in my favor than against me. That people outside ot Ohio and throughout the Nation are for men is not a subject of reproach for which any apologies are necessary. It shows simply that outside the State of Ohio there is practically no difference of opinion. That is all." There will be ninety-three Republicans in the senatorial caucuses. Of this number it is conceded by the opposite sides that Sherman and i oraker eaoh have about forty-two or forty-three votes definitely pledged. Of the eight or nine non-com-mital each side makes positive claims of having secret pledges of fully two-thirds the doubtful, but as these gentlemen themselves refuse to give any publio declaration of their intentions, and state they are waiting to hear fully from their constituents, no one ean positively predict how they will ultimately vote. This is the situation concisely expressed, and no coolheaded politician to-night denies this situation or assumes to predict the resnlt nntil these doubtful gentlemen have made an open declaration. - , ? Tbe opening of the day witnessed only increased activity in the headquarters of tb.6 rival candidates. Senator Sherman arose early, and had several conferences with his lieutenants before te descended to an 8' o'clock breakfast, and ex-Governor Foraker was also up with tbe sun and equally diligent in counseling bis followers to activity in the approaching crisis. The two rivals have their headquarters on tbe parlor floor of the same hotel, and, as there is but a few steps distance between them, each camp has excellent facilities for watching the movements of tbe other and check-mating the political surprises which quickly succeed each other. So far as the two candidates themselves are concerned, each seems equally confident this evening. Neither cares to give figures, and both refer tho interviewer to some trusted lieutenant when details are demanded. WONT TALK FOR PUBLICATION. "The press must excuse me lrom anything in the way of an interview," said exGovernor Foraker, "as I have preferred all along to say as little as possible for publication. There is nothing in the situation to-day to alter my hopefulness as to the outcome. My friends here can probably give you more details as to men and figures than I can." The friends of the ex-Governor expressed the greatest confidence in bis ultimato success, and insisted that they had assurances of .upport from more than bait the members elect. "We do not give names," said George Cox, . of Cincinnati, Foraker's Hamilton connty manager, "because it would bo unjust to gentlemen who have interests in the coming House and Senate caucuses of tomorrow afternoon, and whose personal interests or candidates for House offices might sutler should they now declare themselves." A visit to the Sherman headquarters late to-night found his followers equally cheerful in the assurance of succeMs. "We are not giving figures or names." said Chairman Habn, of the state committee, who is Senator Sherman's chief lieutenant. "But we claim the nomination of John Sherman. We already have pledges enough to warrant this statement and we expect increased strength from the few remaining doubtful members." Tbe doubt surrounding the position of Mr. Thoma. of Mark county, whoso nomination Is said to have been due to tbe Foraker influence, leads many persons to believe that the gentleman's actions are duo to the influence of Major McKinley, and that the Governor-elect is taking a band in a quiet way against Governor Foraker. Mr. Thomas is prominent in labor circles, and it is claimed that he owes his seat to the personal efforts of John P. Jones, president of the State orgauiration of United Order of Mine-worker, a man whose preference for Foraker iseauallr well

known. However this may be. Mr. Thomns has just declared himself unequivocally for Sherman, and not a few of ex-Gov. Foraker's supporters here declare that Major McKinley has influenced the course of tbe Representative of his county. This growing storm was promptly checked tonight by .Mr. Cox, Forukers Cincinnati manager. "This report does great injustice to Governor McKinley," said he, "and I want to say now that Mr. Foraker and bis friends do not hold McKinley responsible for Thomas's actions. We believe the Governor has maintained throngbout a position of strict neutrality, and he should not be hastily accused of interference. He has been fair and frank, and has takeu no part" Representative Axline of Perry, who has been classed in the doubtful list, with a probable leaning towards Foraker, has de. clared for Sherman. Representative Allen of Greene reached the city and confirms the report that he will vote for Governor Foraker. Thus the day's declarations sbo w no relative chaugo in the situation, the eight or nine doubtful men still holding the key to tho situation. The Cnvahoga county or Cleveland delegation will be somewhat divided, although Senator Sherman will unquestionably gut a majority of the eleven vot-R. His frieul have bec:j claiming all of tbeni, but this claim is an extravagant o::e. Governor Foraker friends even insisting that thty will get as many as lour votes frnni the Cuyahoga delegation. Howewr this may be, no effort is being lt to win some of the Cleveland votes for the ex-Governor.

DRIVEN INTO THE SWASirS. 'Scab - Hallway Men from Indianapolis Given a Warm lteceptlon In Arkansas. Little Hock, Ark., Jan. 1. There is great excitement in railroad circles hero over the ejection of a car-load of railroad "scabs" at Argcnta, who were en route from Indianapolis and Louisville to Aransas Pass to relieve the strike on the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railroad. A telegram had been received here ordering breakfast for the party, and in this way the information was received by the railroad employes at Argenta and Littlo Rock. Conductor McKlroy, who had charge ot tbe train, carrying the special Southern Pacific ' sleeper, in which the r&rty was traveling, recoived a telegram at a point above Poplar Bluffs, Mo., signed by Yardmaster Grein at Argenta, asking him to cut out tbe car at Poplar Bluffs. The order ee&med 60 unaccountable that Mcelroy telegraphed back to Green for further orders. Green was estonisbed at the inquiry, being ntterly ignorant of euch an order, and telegraphed McElroy to bring tbe car on to Argenta. At 10:3d this morning a crowd of several hundred men. cbiedy railway employes, were at the Fort Smith & Iron Mountain crossing when tbe "Cannon Ball" from St Louis steamed up. - No sooner had the train arrived when a tall, burly man, with a black slouch hat, cried out to the crowd, "Cut the hose and we'll drop the car out" A hundred men rushed to do his bidding, the hose was cut and the car, with another sleeper in the re a', were cut out. When the train started for Little Rock, the mob having neglected to cut the. bell cord, the engineer's bell rang and he stopped tbe train. By this time all the engine whistles in the yard Logan to blow, and it seemed that bedlam had broken loose. A hundred men rushed into the "ficabs deeper, driving the occupants, some forty telegraph operators, machinists and brakemen, now thoroughly alarmed, from the car. and into the swamps a hundred feet beyond. Most of them were driven into a pond, through which they floundered, followed by their infuriated pursuers. 1 The sleepers were recoupled to-the train and it crossed the river into Little Rock, where another crowd of men boarded tbe car, and with knives cut to pieces all the baggage of the unfortunate "scabs," tossng it through the car windows into the yards. J. II. L'ttlefield, who was in charge of the party of "scabs," ard several of hia companions, who escaped, having taken refuge in the rear sleeper, took a train for Texas, while the other members of the party are hidden in the swamps, awaiting an opportunity to escape. The railroad authorities are enraged at this Action of their employes. The various labor-railway unions are strong in their sympathy for their striking brothers in Texas, and it is fortunate none of the party sent to take their places received seaious personal injury. Will Assist the Strikers. Houston, Tex., Jan. 1. There are rumors here that the Santa Fe and the International railroads have issued orders that co freight shall be received for the Aransas Pass railroad, and rumors are also afloat that employes of all the lines have agreed to refuse to handle any cars which may be sent off that road. The reports cannot be verified, but It is known that agents of tbe . Aransas Pass have been nnable to employ men here to do work in any of the departments vacated by the strikers, though extraordinary inducements have been ofiered to some good men. rr.oTECTED iir soldiers. Convicts Returned to Tennessee Sllnes Under Guard of State Troops, F rclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 1. The standing army of Tennessee, composed of 108 men, with three months' supplies, Gatling guna and regulation outfit left for tho mines last night on a special tram under command of Brigadier-general Carnes and Adjutant-general Norman. The battalion will be swelled by numbers until possibly 250 men aro enlisted when they reach tho scene of the recent troubles. Three hundred convicts were on the train, and will be put to work in the mines again. Tha stockades have been rebuilt and enlarged, and tbe miners will have serious opposition in reaching them if hostilities are renewed. Generals Carnes and Mormau are empowered to make a draft on the State for volunteers in caso serious trouble is expected. Tbe opinion over the State is that when the miners rind what has been done they will arm themselves and sweep the handful of soldiers off the earth. Of the six hundred convicts who were released in tbe uprising at Priceviile, Oliver Springs and Coal Creek, over 250 are still at large. Special correspondents accompanied the troops in anticipation of trouble. K very body has been surprised by the charges that Assistant Commitfficiier of Labor Alleman, a State otheial, is guilty of bigh treason against the State, a cringe punishable only by hanging. It is charged that just before tbe uprisingof the miners that Alleman went about among them inciting them to riot Alleman conferred personally with the leaders of the big mob. and made speeches to them. Tho matter came up before tho Legislature in an informal way. aud a resolution was introduced to have an investigation ordered, but Alleman' influence stopped the movement Alleman is to be tried by courtmartial unless Governor Buchanan interferes. Tennessee has become the laughing-stork of her sieter States on account of tbe weakness of Governor Buchanan, who is trembling in his shoes now for fear tho State troops will be attacked again. Rumors reached here to-day that the imnert bad beard of the coming of tho special tram sndronspired to intercept it and relra the convicts. This new was at-nt to Gov. Buchanan, who notincd General Norn in, and every care will betaken to pre vent this. JOYFUL DAY IS WALES.
