THE VERY LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. CLEVELAND. The President Visits file Sioux City Corn Palace—Hearty Receptions at Omaha. Kant sas City, and St. Joseph. Tnr President's train made no stops on the way from Minneapolis to Omaha except a brief ope at Council Bluffs and one of half an hour s duration at Sioux City to enable the travelers to visit the corn palace at that place. The party spent twenty minutes in the palace. There was no speech-making, the whole time being given np to sight-seeing. Mrs. Cleveland said she never dreamed such effects could be wrought out of corn. “What is this?” asked ilie President, picking up an ear of coin of various colors. “That is squaw corn, and was raised by the Indians on the roseivation in Nebras. ka," explained Judge Whiting. “With yiur permission I will take this." said the President, and it went into his pocket. The President was in excellent linmor, and talked freely. Ho pronounced Hjo Corn Palace “a grand and wonderful affair,” and deolared it to be “the first new thing he had seen.” To Colonel Lamont ho remarked: “You see, the West beats the East.” Me expressed himself astonished to find Sioux City so largo nnd prosperous a city, Th" party arrived at Omaha at 10:30 Wednesday morning, nnd after the usual speeches were taken for a drive. The crowd that greeted the President was the largest over seen in the streets of the city. It was augmented by people from all parts of Nebraska and Western lowa. At St. Joseph, Mo., the President was accorded an enthus adie welcome, and at Kansas City, which was reached at 8:15 p. in., he was greeted by an enormous crowd. INTERSTATE COMMERCE. The Commission Again Sitting at Washington. The Interstate Commerce Commission has resumed its open sessions in Washingtop. The first case heard was that of Milton Evans against the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, in which Evans alleges that a charge of $Bl made by the company for transporting a car-load of wheat from Walla Wnlli to .Portland, Oregon, was unreasonably high and extortionate, and prays that the company be required to refund half of that sum. The railroad company maintain in answer that the charge was not extortionate, for the reason that the road between the points named has extraordinary grades and curves, is frequently obstructed by snow and earth slides, and is operated at great expense. FIVE BANDITS LYNCHED. The Abductors of Senor Berrera in Texas Captured and Lynched. A special from Brownsville, Tex., says: “Private advices state that the rancheros w pur^ued...aud caught five of the abductors of Senor Berrera in Starr County, and at once executed them. Senor Berrera, it will be rejmembered, was captured by these bandits near his ranch on the Texas side of the river, and held eight days until $1,500 was paid by his family for his release. The bandits revealed, before being killed, the particulars of a plot to capture Mr. Yturna, of this city, one of the largest and most prominent capitalists, merchants, and ranch Owners of the frontier, and hold him for a ransom.” ■ ~ Insane Asylum Horror. The Ohio Asylum for the Insane, at Newburg, was partly destroyed by fire Wednesday night. Six women, who were incurably insane, were burned to death, and three others were badly injured. .The flames broke out during the progress of the weekly dance, given for the amnsem'nt of the more rational class of patients, and the excit ment and confusion attending the rescue of the inmates were of a fearful character. Knights of Labor. The report of the Legislative Committee to the Knights of Labor Assembly, as adopted at Minneapolis, approves the Blair educational bill, the eight Lours a day bill, and the bill in relation to homesteads, and demands that the Government building contracts provide for weekly payment of workingmen, and approves the recommend itions of the General Master Workman’s address in favor of the Government control of the telegraph and telephone systems of the country. Nebraska Democrats. The Democratic State Convention at Omaha indo sed Cleveland’s administration and nominated Thomas O’Day for Justice of the Supreme Court. The National Democratic Committee was requested to designate Omaha as the place for holding the next National Democratic Convention. The Railway Horror. From the testimony taken before the Coroner at Huntington. Ind., with regard to the Kouts disaster, it appears that the list of fatalities will not exceed nine. The r iilroad men claim that the night was so foggy that danger signals could not be seen in time to prevent the accident. EAST. A QUARREL of long standing has existed between the families of Charles Schauffert and George Gaeblein,. of Breslau, New York, owing to the fact that the former have made use of a path that crosses the garden of the latter. Yesterday Gaeblein shot Mrs. Schauffert as she was walking along this path, and buried her in a grave he had dug for the purpose. Later on he shot Schauffeit, but injured him only slightly. At Amesbury, Mass., fire destroyed the carriage factory of Locke A Jewell, the machine works of C. F. Pettingill, and other buildings. The losses aggregate $125,000, with about $65,000 insurance. Judge Tho^s C. Manning, United States Minister to Mexico, died in New York. , The Bryn Mawr Hotel, a well-known summer resort near Philadelphia, was destroyed by fire, causing a loss of $230,000. WEST. President Cleveland, Postmaster General Vilas, Colonel Dan Lamont, Dr. J. D. Bryant, and M. A. Bissel went fishing in Mendota Lake, near Madison, Wis. But a few moments passed till beautiful yellow bass were one after another byougbi

out wriggling and twisting in a vain endeavor to free, themselves from the hook. The President was not without his share of luck. With a light trout rod in hand he deftly guided the lino as the fish began to bite, and his * patience was soon rewarded by . the safe landing of a magnificent specimen of yellow bass. This was quickly followed by others, until seven as fine fish as ever bit had succumbed to his skill. Two of these were large, weighing fully five pounds each. The President was delighted. He said the fishing far excelled anything he ever had in the St. Lawrence country. One particularly fine specimen required fully twenty minutes to land, so large was he and savage in bis plunges after he took the hook. The President nnd Mi S. Cleveland spent Sunday quietly at the home of Postmaster General Vilas. They had expected to attend church, but were deterred from so doing by the inclemency of the weather. They left Madison on Monday morning at 9 o’clockfor St. Paul. Minneapolis (Minn.) special: “There is a flood of wheat pouring into Minneapolis. Large receipts are expected next week if the weather is favorable. The amount of wheat now in store in elevators and warehouses in Minnesota and Dakota, outside of Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth, is 10,829,000 bushels. On Oct. 1 the amount was 10)329,000 bushels, distributed along the several lines of railroad.” An aeronaut named Hathaway ascended to a height of one thousand feet in a balloon at Galesburg, 111., and made the descent with a parachute in thirty seconds. He struck the ground very lightly, and remained standing. A train upon which Governor Foraker was traveling to Zanesville, Ohio, left the track and came near going over a steep embankment. The Governor was compelled to crawl through a window in order to get out of the car in which ho was riding, and then ho Was taken on to his destindtion, where he braced up bis shattered nerves by making a speech of an hour’s duration. President Cleveland and party left the capital of Wisconsin on Monday morning at 9 o'clock. A stop of twenty minutes was made at La Crosse, where the party was escorted through the streets by the Governor's guard, St. Paul was reached at 5:30 p. m., and the crowd of 15,000 peop assembled at the depot gave the distinguished visitors a hearty welcome. Mayor Smith made a brief speech of welcome. The President in his response said, among other things: My visit to you being a social one, and trusting that wo have a sort of iriondly foaling for each other, I want to suggest to you a reason whv I am particularly and personally interested in St. Paul and its people. Some years ago a young girl dw olt among you and went to school. Sho has grown up to be a woman nnd is now my wife. If any one thinks a President ought not to mention things ot this sort in public I hope ho or she does not live in St. Paul, for 1 don t want to shock anybody when 1 thunk the good people of this city because they neither married nor spoiled my wife |laughter nnd applause , and when 1 tell them that they are related to that in my lite better than all earthly honors and distinction. Hereafter you may be sure that her pleasant recollection of school days will be re-enforced by the no loss pleas int memory of our present visit, and thus will our present interest in St. Paul and its kind citizens be increased nnd perpetuated. A largely attended public reception was held at night in the Hotel Kyan. Alexander Polack, clothing merchant of Omaha, Neb., has failed. It is said the liabilities will reach $125,000. A number of creditors are secured. A frightful accident occurred on the Chicago and Atlantic Railroad near Kouts Station, Ind. A passenger train consisting of one baggage ear, two day coaches, and one sleeper had stopped ata tank for water, when a fast freight moving in the same direction crashed into and telescoped it. The passenger train was consumed by fire, and some twelve or thirteen persons perished in the flames. Many others received injuries more or less serious. Joseph McCool, of Boston, one of the injured passengers, tells this story of the wreck: •‘1 was in the passenger couch, next to the last car in the train. .Just before midnight I went into the smoker, which was just ahead of our car. and chatted for an hour, ami came back to tho coach with a young in Au who sat down near me. That was the last I’ve over seen or expect to see of the poor fellow. ,1 ust as I had stretched myself out to go to sleep, and almost before I had closed my eyes, there was an unearthly crash which—God help mo—l never want to hear again. I could feel myself thrown violently toward the top of tho car and then I became insensible. While in tho air I realized that all was confusion in tho car, and that canes, valises, rods of iron, and liunpe were in the air about me. I must navo regained my consciousness hi a very short time, for, when I awoke, all was darkness in tho car, and horrible shriers and piercing wails of agony almost deafened my ears. In tho end of the ear farthest from mo the stove was overturned and Hames were fust starting to spread with magic rapidity. Thore was some sort of a new gas lunqi in the car and reservoirs, reaching from one to tho other. The flames reached up the sides, and in less time than I can tell it the gas was burning the whole length of the coach over our beads. I was wedged between the two seats, where I couldn't move a limb of my body, and there watched the tire slowly creep upon me. It was a terrible sight. In tho end of tiie coach near the fire I could soo a lady caught between seats as I was. The fire slowly crept across the car, her dress caught tire, and there, in agony, she burned before my eyes. Just before tho accident I noticed across from my seat a father and his wife and daughter. I saw them also crashed together and burned. Just as the flames were blazing, but a foot or two away from me, a man pulled me into the aisle and said : 'Come to tho window.’ Ho must have mistaken me for some one else, for the moment he had looked closely at my face he dropped me ami hurried through the window with an exclamation of evident disappointment. I then painfully crawled after him in safety." After a pleasant drive through St. Paul, the President and his party left that city at noon on Tuesday for Minneapolis. They were taken to the exposition there and spent some time in sight-seeing. Mayor Ames delivered an address of welcome, and the President responded briefly, complimenting the people of the young city upon their pluck and enterprise. Later there was a reception, and the party left for Omaha. There was a stop of an hour at Sioux City, which was reached at 6:30 Wednesday morning. Although the hour was early, there was an immense crowd at the depot to greet the President, and he was heartily cheered. The State of Michigan is preparing to send to Washington a statue of Lewis Cass, to take its place among the large number now in position in Statuary Hall at the Capitol. The failure is announced of tho Niobrara Land & Cattle Company, incorporated at East St. Louis, with nominal assets of $250,000, on which 25 to 50 per eent. will be realized. In an address at Dubuque, Congressman Coffin stated that in the past nine years the old-fashioned ear-coupler and hand-brake had killed 411 railroad employes in lowa, and crippled for life 1,139 persons. Morton E. Post & Co., bankers at Cheyenne, Wy. T., made an assignment for the benefit of their creditors. A statement gives the assets at $903,579, with liabilities of $493,300, but notwithstanding this encouraging showing it is feared that the depositors will lose heavily. SOUTH. Physicians at Tampa, Florida, do not agree as to the disease that has caused such a panic there. Some pronounce it yellow fever and others dengue. The Chief of the Quarantine Division of the Marine Hospital Bureau at Washington says that if it is the latter there is no cause for alarm.” Publicity is given to tho fact that sev. era! days ago the Pacific Express' safe, on the Iron Mountain Road, was robbed betweep Little Rock anil the Texas line of about $69,00(1. An old and trusted megsenger, J. B. Owens, is reported missing, and detocrives, it is said, are unable to trace him. The peculiar combhiatioti of the safe was known only to agenl i at principal ?|J- * lions..

From the disclosures made at the trial > of a number of negro Masoua foi? murder at Greenwood, Miss., it would appear that the lodges among the colored people in that vicinity are criminal organizations, whose principal business. it is to exterminate such persons as have been unfortunate enough to incur the enmity of the meinbers. The Piedmont Exposition at Atlrtffta, Ga., was opened Monday, addresses being delivered by H. W. Grady, Governor Gordon, and the Hon. S. J. Randall. A syndicate of Ohio and Eastern capitalists has purchased 68,000 acres of coal lands in Breathitt County, Ky., and has organized a company with $3,000,000 capital. Mines will at once be opened and roads built. It is stated that tho scourge raging at Tampa, Flu., is unquestionably yellow fever. POLITICS. The Nebraska Republicans had a lively two days’ session at Lincoln. The issue was between the railroads of tho State and the people. The railroads attempted to defeat the renomination of Judge Maxwell for the Supreme bench, and to squelch all attempts to adopt resolutions favoring an extra session of tho Legislature for tho enactment of additional railway legislation. Five hundred and fifty delegates were present. George D. Mickiejohn, of Nance County, presided. Judge Maxwell was renominated for Supreme Judge with a hurrah, only one ballot being required to settle the matter. The platform condemns a system of revenue that compels the farmers of the West to pay tribute to the manufacturers of tho East, favors pensioning Union soldiers, sympathizes with Ireland, commends the efforts of Parnell and Gladstone, pledges the party to submit a prohibitory amendment, condemns the President for his attempt to return the flags, favors the admission of Dakota, views with alarm the abuse of the veto power of tho President, and sustains the Board of Transportation in its efforts to secure reasonable freight and passenger rates. GENERAL. A New' York telegram says that “J. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, hns been retained in the case of tho Chicago anarchists. Tho announcement caused considerable surprise in legal circles, and it was generally believed that Mr. Tucker must feel pretty sure of securing a favorable hearing before the United States Supreme Court or ho would not have taken hold of the case. It was also the general opinion that the selection of the aldo Virginian as an associate of General Pryor was an excellent one, as Mr. Tucker's long service as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of tho lower house of Congress adds weight to the cause ho is to advocate.” The visible supply of wheat and corn is, respectively, 3(1,980,852 bushels and 7,385,756 bushels. Since last report wheat increased 384,975 bushels, while corn has been augmented 298,308 bushels. A TERRIFIC storm nt Mazathm, Mexico, ■ destroyed $300,009 worth of property, I and it is feared a number of lives were I lost. The report that Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil is about to abdicate his throne because of ill-health is unfounded. FOREIGN. “A decree has been issued under tho socialist law declaring a minor state of | siege here, and prohibiting the sale on tho I streets of special editions of papers,” i says a Berlin dispatch. “Herr Barth, ■ editor of tho Hi i 'hnfreund, hns I been sentenced to three months’ impnson- । ment for ascribing the growth of the bad tone of Parliament to Prince Bismarck's false and insulting accusations against the liberals, which the latter wore so accustomed to hear that they were no longer excited thereby.” The London Standard’s correspondent at Tamatave says that the rupture of diplomatic relations between the Hovas and France was caused by a dispute with rofer- : ence to the exequatur of the American i Consul. It is believed that war between the French and the Hovas will soon be renewed. London dispatches announce that the Edinburgh Trades Council have adopted a resolution affirming the principle of home : rule for Scotland. Two hundred of the poor, homeless, I unemployed persons who sleep at night in . Trafalgar Square, marched through Loni don with a black banner bearing in white i letters the inscription, " we will have work | or bread.” Pope Leo lias intrusted all the arrange- | ments in connection with his jubilee celeI bration to a commission of four Cardinals. Dhuleep Singh has undertaken a big ; job. In a letter to the native papers at Calcutta, he declares that he will devote his life to freeing his country from the British yoke. A story comes from Baden-Baden that Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, has announced that he will abdicate on account of impaired health. The suppressed branches of the Irish ■ League keep on holding meetings in open , defiance of the government. ’ A dispatch from Sharghai states that 1 it is the belief there that the British gun- ; boat "Wasp has been lost with all on boaru.

Massacre of Inunigrants by Indians on the Prairie. Wo had been following the broad trail left by four or live immigrant wagors for many weary miles when the guide suddenly halted. What of a wagon-train leading across the gTeat prairie ocean toward sunset? ’Hie wheels had crushed flower and blossom with theirirKntir.es—the iron-ihod feet had torn up tiie creejnng vines ami sweet grassi a— the wagons had groaned and complained as they as ended and deseendbd tho sharp swells. That was all. But no! What of the people —the brave men who were daring hunger, thirst, accident and tho Indians’.tii rst for blood to reach new homos under the shadow of the Rockies? What of the stouthearted wives who Were clinging to them through peril -of the children I whose eyes opened wondrously wide at । tho immensity of the pra rie? M < I thought of them with a chill as we i halted. Here tho wagons had halted las well. A halt two hours before sunset without wood or -water ’ at hand meant danger. Whirt danger ? ihe horses had pawed the groiWd in a nervous way as they stood there.. The live or six men had assembled together on a knoll for consultation. The grass which their feet had prert^ed to. earth had not yet recovered its position. Which way bad their gaze been turned? ।To the south- What had they seen? Indians—the dark-skinned race of hati ers—human beings who glory in having | the hearts of tigers, l ive, six, seven ■ men against -how many? Later on |we put the number at fifty. Fifty painted, yelling, shrieking warriors—not a drop of pity in any heart, not a feeling of mercy in any bosom. They hud caught sight of tho white-topped wagons and were coming up from the south—tigers after human blood. What did tho pioneers say among themselves? On how many cheeks did tho sunburn of the prairie give place to tho paleness of anxiety and fear? They gathered together away from the wagons, they talked in low tones, they sought t > hide their fears from those they loved. And what of the women and chil dren? l uces turned whiter than the snows of the new year, lips quivered j with emotion, limbs trembled as the mind recalled stories of b'ood and cruelty. And in each wagon some one knelt and prayed to God to extend His hand of protection. And now the wagons move on. For a time it is in close order, with the bravo husbands between danger and I their loved ones. Then there is an accident —a death —a something to cause alarm, and the alarm soon becomes a panic. Heaven help them now! The i horses are pushed to a trot now to a gallop now Ahev are running in mad , excitement, uiged by the whips of the ) drivers and the shouts of tin' Indians. We know how it will end. The n ght is coming down now ami we go into camp. Gnu night more will make no difference with tho skeletons lying on tbe grass two or three miles axvay. The wolves have been there each night for a week. Tho sun is an hour high as wo reach the spot. Here is an acre of ground on which a curse may over rest. Here the wagons were headed off—hero the husbands and sons made the fight w hich men make when the last hope is gone ami despair comes like a dark cloud. One—two—four —five—all the wagons are here, but broken ami useless. The bloated and half-devoured bodies of the horses are here. The bodies of men, women, and children are^ —no! You cannot call a skeleton a body. You cannot say that this bundle of clean-picked bones was a man or woman. They are all here. Not a soul escaped. Over this ghastly acre are strewn the garments of the dead — the contents of the wagons. In the circle about the wagons are blood spots on the grass. Those pioneers did not die without revenge. But when the last one had fallen, what shouts of victory! What yells of vengeance! What a feast for tomahawk and scalping- ' knives! The wolves hiding away in the shadow of yon grove must have heard the shrieks of affright—the calls for mercy—the prayers to God. The vultures sailing overhead must have quickened their wings as the horrible din of slaughter reached their ears. And we ride on. What use to tramp over this hell spot in search of name? Os what use to dig a grave for these bones'? What to the world away beyond the mighty prairie that a few more of its millions have died, or how. or when ? But xve mutter a curse upon the human devils, and we utter silent prayers to God for the victims.—De- ’ troif F’ree Press. An extensive amount of smuggling is reported at the Thousand Islands. It’s Always the Way. “Didn’t I tell you bo?” said a gentleman to an acquaintance whom he chanced to meet on the street; “it’s always the way.” “What’s always the way?” inquired a mutual friend of the two men, who happened along just then. “Why, just this,” replied the first speaker; “you see Smith, hero, the last time I met him he had one of the worst coughs you over heard.
