OCEAN DISASTER. Twenty-five Lives Lost in Waterford Harbor. A London dispatch says that an 1,800ton bark, believed to be an American vessel, has been wrecked at the entrance of Waterford (Ireland) harbor. Her crew, consisting of twenty-five persons, were drowned. The vessel is supposed to bo the ship Eureka, Capt. Southard, which sailed from San Francisco Aug. 10 for Queenstown with a cargo of wheat, and which ran by Queenstown in a gale. A violent hurricane has been raging in the Irish Channel. Great damage was done to property and shipping. A large vessel was wrecked off Duncannon, and all hands are believed to be lost. FOR HADDOCK’S MURDER. The Indictments Against the Six Defendants in Court Dismissed. A Sioux City (Iowa) dispatch says that “States Attorney Marsh made a motion to dismiss the Haddock murder indictments against all the defendants except Peters, Platt, and Treiber, who have never yet been arrested, and who are believed to have escaped to Germany. The motion was sustained by the court. This motion released all the other seven of the defendants except Munchrath, who has been convicted of manslaughter, and against whom the indictment for conspiracy is kept hanging. The defendants released are Arensdorf, Leader, Sherman, Granda, Leavitt, and Koschniski. ” A Newspaper Man’s Divorce. The domestic troubles of Fred D. Mussey, the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, and his wife, Anna E., a daughter of ex-Governor Foster of Ohio, have culminated in a suit for divorce. Mr. Mussey and Miss Foster were married during the first term of Governor Foster, the plaintiff at the time being private secretary to his Excellency. The marriage proved to be an uncongenial one, and the couple separated after a few months of married life. ______ Praying for Peace. A dispatch from Vienna says that in a message sent by Emperor Francis Joseph to Emperor William on the occasion of the new year, this passage occurred: “God grant that the unsettled political situation may speedily be "’eared, so that our people may be reassu.cd and the blessings of peace be preserved.” Tariff Talk. Congressman M. A. Foran, of Cleveland, is reported as saying that he and other Randall Democrats would unite with the Republicans in Congress for the defeat of any bill framed in accordance with President Cleveland’s anti-tariff message. Soldiers in Revolt. A St. Louis, Mo., dispatch says that a revolt occurred at Jefferson barracks between white and colored United States soldiers that resulted in the injury of many men and will probably cost three men their lives. Congress reassembled after the holiday recess on Wednesaay, Jan. 4. A reply to the President's tariff reduction message was delivered in the Senate by Mr. Sherman, who urged that the President had intentionally ignored other methods of reducing the Treasury surplus i° r the purpose of advocating such a reduction of customs taxation as would strike a severe blow at American industry. Senator Voorhees spoke in defense of the President’s low-tariff views. Mr. Brown offered a resolution declaring that the practice of the Government was correct for the first three-quarters of a century of its existence when it collected the necessary revenues at the ports or other boundaries by tariff, except in case of war or other great emergencies, when internal revenue or direct-tax laws were imposed, which were repealed as soon as the emergency ceased; also, that the present internal revenue laws were enacted as a war measure, and that it has now become the imperative duty of Congress to enact aiipropriate legislation for their repeal at tee earliest day practicable. He asked that tbe resolution be laid on the tab.e, and said that next Monday he would submit remarks upon it. Mr. Cullom introduced a bill embracing several amendments to his postal telegraph measure. In the House a large number of bills were introduced, including the following : By Mr. Symes, of Colorado, for the removal of the southern Utes from Colorado to Utah; by Mr. Browne, of Indiana, repealing the limitation on the urrears-of-pen-sion act; by Mr. Hovey, of Indiana, for the payment of service pensions ; by Mr. Holman, of Indiana, to maintain the purity of the ballot box ; by Mr. VS eaver, of lowa, for the establishment of a postal telegraph ; by Mr. Holmes, of lowa, abolishing the duty on sugar; by Mr. Gear, of lowa, to prohibit the purchase of goods manufactured wholly or in pait by convict labor; by Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, to prevent a contraction of the currency and to increase the circulation of silver and silver certificates ; by Mr. Ryan, of Kansas, appropriating SIOO,OOO for the erection of a monument to the colored soldiers killed in the late war; by Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, to abolish all distinctions on account of rank in pensions hereafter granted ; by Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, to create the postal telegraph of the United States ; also, to reduce letter postage to one cent anounco; by Mr. Peters, of Kansas, for the deposit of gold and silver coin or bullion as security for national bank circulation; by Mr. Wheeler, dispensing with proof of loyalty during the late war as a condition of restoration or admission to the pension rolls in the case of any person otherwise entitled thereto; by Mr. Reed, of Maine, proposing a constitutional amendment granting women the right of sufirage; by Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, placing sugar, coal, hemp, and manila grass on the free list. Bills were also introduced for the erection of public buildings in Indiana, at Evansville and Indianapolis ; in lowa, at Port Dodge and Sioux City; in Michigan, at Kalamazoo, Muskegon, Manistee, Bay City and Lansing ; at Duluth, at Milwaukee, and at many other cities. Niue hundred and two public bills have been introduced. EAST. Something of a sensation was created at Albany, N. Y., by the issuance of an order by Gov. Hill, removing from office Messrs. John Jay, of New York City, and Henry A. Richmond, of Buffalo, members of the State Civil Service Board, the third member, the Hon. Augustus Schoonmaker, having resigned. In their stead Gov. Hill appointed Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, of New York City, and James IL Manning and George H. Treadwell, of Albany. The former board was appointed by Governor Cleveland. Governor Hill took the pos.tion that the board was simply advisory, to assist the Governor in improving the civil service, and, desiring to reconstruct the board, requested the resignations of Messrs. Jay and Richmond. Mr. Man ning is the eldest son of tbe late Daniel Manning, ex-Secretary of the Treasury; General Sickles is well-known, and Major Treadwell is the present Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic of the State of New York. Copies of the following blood-thirsty document were circulated on the streets of New York where the workingmen could get them; “touch and bomb must be applied. ■ “Fellow workmen : The hour has come.’ Tbo agencies of science must play a part in tbe struggle of the future. Yesterday it was the slaughter of our comrades at Chicago. To-dav it is tho assassination of

BO.OOu or our brothers on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad system. True, tbo sword is tho weapon of circumstances, but the victims perish all the same. Do not waste your forces on tho scabs ; they are only the effect of the present damnable commercial and competitive system. Destroy by all the agencies at your command the direct representatives of the systems of the Corbins, tho Maxwells, and the Goulds. Eet the torch, the bomb or the bullet strike them now. Eet all that they possess be given to the flames; hound them day and night. The strike must be made the war of the classes. Brothers, remember Chicago and your oath.” A collision occurred between the fast Chicago express and a freight train on the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad, three miles west of Meadville, Pa. Five persons were killed outright, including the engineers and firemen of both locomotives and a passenger, and thirteen others injured, nine of them fatally. Marcus W. Hosbach, cashier of the Herkimer National Bank, of Herkimer, New York, and who disappeared a fortnight ago, is $34,000 short in his account. WEST. A collision on tho Chicago and Alton Road near Kouts, Ind., resulted in the killing of a brakeman named L. Lyman. James Hendricks, brother of the late Vice President Hendricks, died at Shelbyville, Ind., after a few days’ illness with lung fever, aged 56 years. He was the last member of the Hendricks family, and is the third to die within the last year. In bis young manhood James Hendricks gave promise of a more brilliant career than that of his brother, Thomas A. Hendricks, but he fell into habits of dissipation, led a wayward career, and finally became a charge on bis brother, who carefully cared * for him during Ms life. Since his death Mrs. Hendricks has provided for him. The lowa registry law has been declared unconstitutional by Judge Stoneman, of the Superior Court, at Cedar Rapids. The court held that the Legislature could enact no law which would deprive a voter of his constitutional rights. The six Chinese highbinders who murdered a Chinese detective named Lou Johnson, in St. Louis three years ago, have been released from jail. Two had been sentenced to death but secured a new trial, and under the rulings tbe Prosecuting Attorney said a case could not be made against them. The crime was one of the most startling that ever occurred in any city. Four assassins were deliberately instructed to kill Johnson, and they hacked him to pieces while he slept. Chicago elevators contain 5,329,150 bushels of wheat, 1,490,051 bushels of corn, 1,035,945 bushels of oats, 30,001 bushels of rye, and 352,381 bushels of barley. Total, 8,237,528 bushels of all kinds of grain, against 19,485,375 bushels a year ago. The visible supply of wheat, 44,421,130 bushels; an increase of 173,490 bushels. The corn supply was 6,025,258 bushels; an increase of 265,851 bushels. SOUTH. William Herbig, who murdered his young wife and her paramour at St. Francis, Ark., was pursued and overtaken near Rector, Ark. When found he was asleep under a large tree. He was informed that he must die, and be made no protest. In fact, he said that he was willing and ready; he had done nothing he had cause to regret. His wife had been untrue to him and he had killed her lover, and this he regarded as justice. Regarding the shooting of his wife, he said he could offer nothing in tbe way of defense. Herrig was then hanged <>n the very tree under which he was found sleeping. His wife’s stage name was Tulia Bennett. A general shooting affray, growing out of politics, occurred at a saloon on St. Charles street, New Orleans, in which Hon. Pat Mealey, Commissioner of Police and Public Buildings, lost his life, Mike Walsh was mortally, and others less seriously wounded. Mealey was probably the strongest politician in New Orleans. He led the Louisiana delegation to the last National Democratic Convention as Delegnte-at-large. He held for eight years the office of Commissioner of Police and Public Buildings, and was one of the "Big Four,” as the four bosses were called, who were supposed to control the political destinies of New Orleans. A collision occurred on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad near Greenwood, Tenn., and two baggage-masters, two mail-agents and three passengers were killed. The accident was the result of the conductors making a mistake in reading their orders. In a drunken fury, Stephen Conroy, of Baltimore, murdered his aged mother with an ax and so badly injured Patrick O’Donnell that he will die. WASHINGTON. During December the public debt was reduced $15,250,000. The Government’s receipts from all sources were $29,325,285, audits expenditures $10,400,682, leaving a net gain of nearly $19,000,000.

The eixty-eighth general assembly pl' Oidfl ‘Mwnfd at i ‘phuiibuH on th o Ist inst.

The Republican majority in the House elected E. L. Lampson speaker, while in the Senate the disaffected Republican element combined with the Democrats in defeating six of the regular Republican caucus nominations. Governor Foraker’s annual message takes strong ground against the low tariff policy advocated by President Cleveland in his recent message to Congress. .Gov. Gray’s friends deny that he wants to be Vice-President, and claim that his ambition is to represent the State cf Indiana in the United States Senate. LABOR. The anthracite miners have challenged President Corbin of the Reading Railroad Company to battle, and the latter says ho is ready. A Reading special states that-— Every colliery owned by the Reading Company with a daily capacity of 35,000 tons of coal is idle. This is regarded by business men throughout the entire Schuylkill regions and Eastern Pennsylvania with grout alarm. There is practically no coal of any consequence anywhere, and, with a. protracted strike, great loss would, ensue. The Reading Company bus temporarily suspended about one hundred and fifty crews, and this is interpreted to mean that the officials are making preparations for a long and bitter struggle. They say they are determined to down tho Knights of Labor, and feel confident that they will succeed. Said an officer to-night: “Wo have driven the order from tho railroad, and we propose to servo the miners in the sumo manner.” Tho strike, if prolonged, will cause great loss and suffering from lack of coal. Nono of the iron works or furnaces have more than a week's supply, and they depend for their daily supply on tho Reading railroad. It is estimated that tho number of men and boys thrown out of employment by the strike is 35,090. FOREIGN. An interview with Mr. Gladstone is published by a Paris paper, in which the exPremier described the Irish I,and Commissioners’ rent reduction decree as a “tremendous decision,” and said he was thunderstruck at the news. He nlso said that the Tory Cabinet, having alienated the tenants, would now alienate the landlords. All the special envoys sent to congratulate Pope Leo XIII. upou bis jubilee have received the order of the Grand Cross of the Order of Pius IX. Don Carlos has been heard from to the effect that he reserves his- right to the French throne as the head of the Bourbon family, and he counsels the loyalists to refrain from revolutions. Dispatches from Rome state that the Pontifical mass on the first day of the new year was a grand success. Thousands of people thronged St. Peter's Square early in the morning waiting the opening of the cathedral. Sixty thousand admission tickets had been issued, and the cathedral was packed. Forty-eight Cardinals and 238 Archbishops and Bishops were present at tho mass, and it is estimated that there were thirty thousand persons in the audience. The Pope prayed for a long time in his private chapel, and then received the homage of the court Cardinals in the Sala micale. While assuming the sacerdotal vestments the Popo was overcome with emotion and fainted. Strong salts were administered and ho soon returned to consciousness Ho then ascended the gestatorial chair, and was borne on tho shoulders of tho sediari, attended by tbo Cardinals, into St. Peter's Cathedral. Just before he was fully vested for the altar ho again fainted, remaining unconscious a few minutes. Tho golden jubilee of the Popo was mado the occasion of special recognition in the Roman Catholic churches throughout Great Britain, Continental Europe, and America. Cardinal Gibbons in Baltimore, and Bishop Ireland in St. Paul paid glowing tributes to his Holiness. A Vienna dispatch of Jan. 3 says: “Official declarations of a decidedly pacific character are expected at an early date. Colonel Zuleff, who has returned to his duties as military attache to the Russian embassy, says he found the Czar absolutely opposed to war.” GENERAL. Austin Corbin, President of the Reading Railroad Company, has addressed a letter to employes notifying them that tho corporation will not submit to dictation from Knights of Labor or other organizations, and that places that are left in obedience to orders of such societies will be filled by new men, who will not be uncharged to make room for repentant strikers. The Superintendent of the Reading Company refused to consult regarding the strike with a committee of the Knights. Mu. Lawton has been confirmed by the Senate as Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to Austria, and has his commission from tbe President in his pocket. He has yet to face the tribunal which knocked out Mr. Keiley. That always impecunious corporation, the Panama Canal Company, has arranged to procure funds from the Credit Lyonnaise to carry on its work until the issue of the new Panama bonds. Destructive fires have occurred at Houma, La., and Hicksville, Ohio. In each case about one-half the houses and buildings were burned. Fire destroyed wharves at Portland, Me., value $30,000; No. 63'2 Broadway, New York, doing $33,000 damage; Browning & Co’s Center rolling-mill at Vermonville, Mich., loss $17,000, and Hatfield A Jackson’s carriage factory at Rahway, N. J., loss $25,000. Other fire losses: At Kansas City, sllO,000: at Aitkin, Minnesota, $55,00H; at Egg Harbor City, New Jersey, $60,000. A decrease of 10 per cent, in the working force of the Gould Southwestern railway system has been ordered. Eight territorial judgeships are to bo given out early in tbe year, and Hon. C. A. Keyes, of Springfield, 111., is early in the field for one of them. MARKET REPORTS. NEW YORK.

THE LAST LAUGH. — Consternation in the Congregation—Tho Wisdom of the Innocents. Adjoining an out-of-the-way, but favorite, 1 summer resort, is a little Chapel in which re- j ligious services aro held occasionally, as cler- j gymen can bo obtained, during the pleasure season. A visiting divine consented to preach one ! Sabbath last summer, and, notice being given, i quite a congregation of hotel guests and resident neighbors assembled. In opening the services the preacher suggested that, as tho chapel was provided with no musical instrument, perhaps some ono present would start a hymn, in which the congregation could join. A brief pause ensued, and then the congregation was convulsed at hearing an old lady strike up, in a cracked voice, • “Believing we rejoice To seo tho cuss removed." As no ono “joined in,” the old lady did not proceed far with the hymn, and an awkward contretemps seemed imminent The clergyman was quick-witted, however, aud turned the ludicrous incident to good account. Ho quietly arose and announced as hta text the words, “Believing we rejoice,” from which ho preached an excellent sermon, one that, under the peculiar circumstances, made a deep impression. The old lady will probably never know why sho caused such a sensatioiL She lived in the neighborhood, and being accustomed to the pronunciation “cuss” for “curse” sang it that way. Homespun people often run counter to some of the common customs, or time-worn prejudices of society, and are laughed at. Sometimes they are right, and society is wrong. When new aud valuable ideas are evolved in th rogress of the world’s thought, those who first believe in them are often subjected to ridicule. But it is those who believe who have occasion to rejoice. Mr. A. Way is a prominent farmer at Navarino, N, Y, who was prostrated with kidney disease, and reached a point where “the doctor said he had done all he could.” Fell. 23, 1883, he writes: “As a last resort 1 began the use of Warner’s safe cure, and to-day 1 am hale, hearty and happy.” October 13, 1887, ho again writes: “If it had not been for your wonderful discovery of Warner’s safe euro I should have been in my grave to-day. 1 tun, to all appearances, as free from any trouble of tho kidneys as any man living. Tho doctor who doctored mo and said 1 must die has since died with Bright’s disease!” The honest old farmer was doubtless derided and laughed at by tho medical man, and many of his friends, when ho announced his determination to try Warner’s rafe euro, a proprietary medicine; but he is alive and well to-day, while tho physician who laughed at him is dead. Tho wise old farmee, has tho last laugh! Burdette on Insomnia. What pleases me, when I am tormented with sleeplessness, writes Bob Burdette, is a little health book of my own, in -which I have jotted down a few —a very few —of the “infallible remedies” for sleeplessness which have been tried in thousands—or perhaps it was millions—of cases, most of which were in the subscriber’s own immediate family, or, at the farthest, circle of intimate friends, and had never once failed to effect a permanent, and it is needless to say, instant cure. All of these eases collectively and each ono by itself individually were and was exactly like my own in cause, duration and operation. The simplicity of the combined remedy appeals at once to human confidence. Fat nothing within three hours before retiring. Eat a light but substantial luncheon just before going to bed. Nature abhors a vacuum. (This is one of the prescriptions 1 like.) Head light literature before going to bed. Head nothing after supper. Walk a mile in the open air before bed-time. Go to your room an hour before retiring and read until bedtime. Give up smoking altogether. If you are a smoker, a cigar just before retiring will soothe anil trimquilize your nerves until you can’t keep awake. Don’t think about sleeping; you scare away slumber by wooing the drowsy god. Resolutely resolve ns you lie down that you will go to sleep, and sleep will come naturally. Take a warm bath and go from the tub into bed. Take a cold sponge bath, jump into bed, and you'll be asleep before your head touches the pillow. Walk slowly about your room half an hour. Lie on your right side, with your cheek on your hand. Lie on your left side, with your head resting on your arm. Count up to one thousand. (I trio 1 this inhuman bit of idiocy ono night. 1 came very near falling asleep two or three times, but was startled wideawake by suddenly becoming conscious that I had lost, my count, and had to begin over again. This cure kept me awake one whole night, when I was so sleepy I could scarcely keep my eyes open. The friend who gave mo this prescription is not living now. She was a woman, and I could not, as a gentleman, offer her violence. So 1 dosed a box of marshmallows with Rough on Rats, and sent them to her.) Drink milk. ( This, according to my experience, is the best prescription in the lot. It will make you sleep better than all the bromides going, which are snares and delusions. But milk diet not only makes you sleep at night, but you want to sleep all the next day. It is a very pleasant, half-awake feeling, if you have nothing else to do but to enjoy falling asleep at any time and in all manner of places, like Colville in the best told story of these times, “Indian Summer;” but if you have any work to do it is embarrassing). ’ So, what is a sleepless man who wants to sleep going to do? If he eats a light luncheon, smokes a mild cigar, reads Bonner an hour, walks a mile in the air, comes back and walks another mile about his room, takes a sponge bath, cold, followed by a tub bath, warm, drinks a pint of milk, jumps into bed, and lies on both sides, with his head on one arm and one hand, and counts a thousand, it will be time to get up, anyhow, and he can have a few nervous fits during the day. It is a fact, however, that even men ■who think they suffer from sleeplessness do not lie awaku half so long as they imagine they do. AV hen a man says to me, “I did not close my eyes once all night,” I know he lies. Not intentionally, of course; he thinks ho was awake all night; the probability is that he did not go to sleep until two hours after his regular time, and it seemed an age to him. Really, it isn’t often that a man lies awake the whole night through. lam not a physician, and cannot speak by the book, but I believe that men fib more about their sleepless nights more than any other ill to which our weak humanity is heir. Now, take your own case; you remember the last time you lay awake all night, don’t you? Yes, I seo you do. Well, don’t you remember that same night you heard the clock strike two, and then, the next time you heard it, it struck seven ? Yes ? I see you do. Well, that’s one of the mysteries about insomnia that it is difficult to explain. Remedies for Snake Bites. As remedies for snakebite, whisky, alcohol, ammonia, spirits of turpentine, lunar caustic and other antidotes are all useful. The virus, which is secratpd by the poison glands, is injected Mo the wound a>nil operates by coagulating th© blopil, It is either a?) acid

ior an alkali, and any application that ‘ i will chemically neutralize the virus must prevent serious results. Whisky increases the velocity and force of tho ( circulation and also stimulates the paj tient’s system. Turpentine applied outwardly readily dilutes the poison, I and to that extent decreases its activ- : ity. Alcohol acts in the same manner, but perhaps in a different degree. Ammonia neither neutralizes nor combines with the virus. Some other applications act as absorbents. All operating together effect the most ready cure, j The gall of the cobra or some other j venomous snake, digested in alcohol, diluted with water and taken sparing- ; 1 ly, is a sure cure. An Indian chief ; lately informed me that his cure is to | instantly cut a piece out of the wound and apply a slice of old bacon to draw out any poison that may remain.— I'liiladelphia Press. Origin of Handshaking. In early and barbarous times, when every savage or semi-savage was his own law giver, judge, soldier, and policeman, anil had to watch over his own safety in default of all other protection, when two friends or acquaintances or two strangers desiring to be acquaints ices chanced to meet, then offered each to the other the right hand alike of offense and defense, the hand that wields the sword, the dagger, the club, the tomahawk or other weapons of war. Each did this to show that the hand was empty, and that neither war nor treachery was intended. A man cannot well stab another while he is in the act of shaking hands with him, unless he be a double-dyed traitor and villain, and strives to aim a cowardly blow with the left while giving the right, and pretending to bo on good terms with him. Francis Radoux, of Portland, Me., aged 97, was in the French navy, was captured by the English and taken to England, but was released on account of having saved the life of a French officer. Returning to France, he was commissioned an officer in the army of I the Emperor Napoleon, and was but a few miles distant when the battle of Waterloo was fought.

Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. ¥.. has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman’s peculiar maladies. Br. Bierce’s Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of test'moDials, received from patients and from physi--1 cians who have tested it in the more aggravated and obstinate cases which bad baffled 1 their skill, prove it to bo tho most wonderful reined v ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended as a ! “cure-all,” but as u most perfect Specific for Woman’s peculiar ailments. A ; a powerful, invigorating tonic, j it imparts strength to the whole system, and to the womb and its appendages tn particular. For overworked, “worn-out,” “run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,” housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being iinequaled t ns an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. As a soothins and strengthening n«rvine, “Favorite Prescription” is unequaled and is invaluable in allaying and eubduing nervous excitability, irritability, exhaustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and < > other distressing, nervous symptoms com- K I monly attendant upon functional and organio • disease of the womb.

It ts equally efficacious and valuable in its effects when taken for those disorders and derangements incident to that later and most critical 1 period, known as “ The Change of Life. “ Favorite Frescriptio»,’Gvhen taken in connection with the use of Dr. Ph’ri? 5 ® Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative doses of Dr. Pierce's Purgative Pellets (Eittie Liver Pills), cures Liver.
