THE J ANUARY eQVEKZE. The Manipulator of the Corner in Corn Unload. Chicago, Jan. 29 The caso of J. B. Lyon fc Co. againßt the fdlrgei manipulators of the corner in January corn came up to-day on motion to dissolve the injunction. After argument the case went over. It is stated ore element in the heavy drop in the price of January corn this afternoon was the settlement of a long line of shorts by David Dowsd Co. atCJ 'c. The Times will fay: The rqaecze in January corn allowed by these engineering it culminated to-day. January option opened atxJc, Darirg the regular s es:iou of the Board of Trade, eales and settlements were made al GGiG'liz. On the afternoon call, however, the first sales were made at 60a. From this figure prices droprd under large pales amid considerable excitement to 53j, and closed at 57Ji583, having succeeded in forcing a settlement of all short trades outstanding, except the con-

tracts effected by Lyons injunction. The

clique concluded it was unnecessary to continue longer the manipulation and decided to unload. On call its brokers managed to sell 285,000 bushels of January corn, and also, it is believed, a large amount of Februral, March and May, which it had been force to purchase from time to time. The closing figures the decline amounted to 10 1/2c on January , 2 1/2c on February, 1 1/4c on March and 1/2c on May.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT. A Large Train of Cars Near Cumberland, Cars Near Cumberland, Md., Jump the Life. Track - Fearful Loss of WHEELING, W. VA., Jan. 23. - A special W. Va., Says one of the most fatal railroad accidents from Keyser, terrible and that ever occurred in this part of the country happened on the Georges Creek and Cumberland Railroad, running from Cumberland to Lenaconing. Today, it seems three coal trains consisting of three locomotives fifty-two hoppers and seventeen gondolas, all loaded, started from Cumberland about 2 o'clock this afternoon, all coupled together, one engine in front another in the middle and one in the rear this being the safest way to get down grades this bad weather. IN going down one of the steep grades about ten miles from Cumberamad. the train started down the steep incline at a fearful rate of speed. The train kept the track until they gotten to a trestle work having a reverse curve, where the front engine flew the track, dragging all the men, sixtynine cars and locomotives after it - all going rolling and tumbling down a steep hill, which was between eighty and one hundred feet high on to the track of the Eckhart branch of the Cumberland and PennSylvania Railroad. The loss of life is fearful, seven dead bodies being found amid the wreck and more missing. Each train consisted of a conductor, two brakeman, firemen and enginger, in all fifteen human beings, not one of which can be found alive to tell the fear ful tale. It is supposed that other bodies are either among the wreck or have jumped to save their lives, and are lying down the mountain somewhere, either dead or badly hurt, and if exposed to a night like this will surely freeze to death. So far I am unable to give you names of the killed. The loss will be heavy on the road, it being recently built. A BROKEN-HEARTED BRIDE. A Wedding Set Down for Saturday Night Night That Did Not Take Place. Special to the Sentinel: SEYMOUR, Ind., Jan. 29. - On Saturday evening at 6 o'clock Mr. David Force, who resides three miles from here, and Miss Ella Clark were to be married at the residence of her parents, eight miles east of this city. At the appointed hour Rev. S. P. Smith, of Louisville, Ky., who was to officiate, and a large number of invited guest were present, and a grand marriage supper was in waiting, but the groom failed tout in an appearance. Time continued to wear away until today, when the groom's parents returned to their home and reported their son to have mysteriously disappeared, and the bride is so crazed with grief that ber condition is looked upon as being of the most critical character. Theparties are of the highest respectability, aod the groom's actions are unaccountable. Judge Gray's Decision Upon the Bell Telephone Patent. Boston, Jan, 24. - Judge Gray, of the United States Circuit Court, granted an injunction against the People's Telephone Company (Dolhear's patent) in favor of the Bell Telephone Compcny. The stock of the latter Company jumped from $200 a share, at the close of yesterday, to $226 today. The point of the decision is that Bell was the first inventor who successfully used the electrip current for the transmission of articulate sound. The differences of Dolbear's and Bell's plans were not such as to warrant the former to claim the invention of the entire system. The essence of Bell's invention consists not merely in the form of apparatus he uses but in the general process or method of which that apparatus is the embodiment. The defendants have, therefore, infringed Bell's patent by using his general process, or method, and should be restrained by injunction from continuing to do so. Murdered by Cannibals. Sn Francisco, Jan. 24 - Information has been received at Brisbane, Queensland, that a large three-masted schooner was lost on the shore at the mouth of Fly River, New Guinea. The crew, seventeen in number were killed by the savages, their heads cut off and distributed among the native villages. Captain Pennafeither, of the schooner Heart, made a search, but found only a lot of wreckage, with nothing to identify the vessel. His party was frequently attacked by the natives. One old woman confessed the mjurder of the crew. Pennifeather burnt the native villages and destroyed their canals.

The statement concernii g the death of Captain Hansen, who wrs seen oa the bridge to the las', and ot the first officer, who was teen swimming after the Cimbria had subk, conclude with the words, "Treu biszaru too," (faithful until death). Several persons were killed by the col lition itself, owing to the tlyiog about of f plinters and planks. A passenger in the throuds begged his neighbors to push him into the sea. he beini too much chilled to mive himeelf. They rcfus d to do so, when he let bimsFlf fall headlong into the waves. An elderly woman holding her Bible in her cramped bauds and singing loudly funeral hymns was washed away from the deck. Two girls belonging to a Suabian singing troupe, having secured life bells, swam about for a long time, frantically crying, "Help, help, save us." People in the rigging replied: "Come to the rigging, we can not move." The girls, half benumbed and no longer able to swim, cried out for the last time, "We cannot come," and disappeared beneath the waves. Captain Coltill, of tho Steamer Saltan, Testifies About the Disaster Sajs it was tha Fault of the Uaptaio of the C nahria. Hamburg, Jan. 24 Captain Cultill.of the steamer Sultan, says: "I had twelve passengers on board, and my first duty was to look after their condition. On my own ship an hour was occupied in sparring up the bulkbead and stopping holes in the ship's bow with beds, etc. Tben I set about looking for the other vessel. I burned blue light and sounded the whistle for two hours after the accident. I remained in the vicinity nntil 8 o'clock iu the morning, when not seeing or hearing any thing, and the fog being etill dense, I left for Hamburg. Ia answering to my inquiries if he sent oft beats in eearcn, he said the fog was so dnse he deemed it impos-ible to send boats." Respecting the events immediately preceding the Captain of the Sultan said; "About 1 o'clock the fog increasing the engine r-n dead slow, the course bing eaat half south at 11 o'clock English time. Without hearing the sound of the whistle I 8'ghtsd a masthead and green lights two points on our starboard bow. I starboarded tho beim until the ship's head was eat by northeast, when the green light suddenly disappeared and a red light came in fight. Seeing thai a collision was inevitable I telegraphed for the engineer to put on a full head of steam astern. It was too late o avoid a crash. Everybody was at his proper pot at the time, and the lights wero brightly burning. The Captain and Chief Officer were on the bridge and two men at the wheel. The steam whistle was con stantly soundtDg. I saw the Cimbria's green light when they were only two ship's length ahead." Captain Cnltill drew a dianiam showing the position of the two vessels. "Both were on a straight course," he said, "the Cimbria being two points on my sUr board bow. H? that my green lighf. was visible to the Cimbria as soon as the Cimbria's green light was visible to me." How do you account for the accident? The Cimbria should have kept on her course, beeing the Sultan's green light What is the rule of the road ? Captain Cultill brought out a log containing official printed instructions with verses ectitJed "Aids to Memory," by Thomas Gray. No. 1, for two steamship meeting, "when both hide lights yoa see ahead, post your red. That is," remarked the Captain, "pass to right." No. 2, for two steamships passing,' says'
