Kills His Wife and Children. Then Suicides. The little village of Upson, in Ashland County, Wis., was the scene of a most atrocious crime. Joseph Brogan, a laborer, killed his wife, his two boys, aged 5 and 7 years, respectively, and ended the slaughter by taking his own life. Brogan drank heavily, and frequently quarreled with his wife. He arose in bad humor, mid, attacking his wife with a razor, nearly severed her head fiom her body. He then attacked the boys, who were in bed, and hacked them with the weapon so that they died in a short time. Walking over to the door, he then cut his own throat, his body falling against and barring the openiqg of the door. Brogan was 35 years old, and his parents are wealthy Eastern people. Divorces Grunted in Twenty Years. The special report of the Commissioner of Labor relating to marriages and divorces in the United States for the twenty years from 1867 to 1886, inclusive, shows that the number of divorces granted, as reported from 96 per cent, of the counties in the United States, is 328,716. Renounces Christianity. At Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Miss Louisa Wahl, of Turner Junction, 111., renounced Christianity in the Temple Emanuel, embraced the Hebrew faith, and was then married to Gustav Lang, of Chicago. The bride’s parents are German Lutherans, in which belief she was reared. Secured a Change of Venue.

Henry Dalton, who lives near Stanford, Ky., shot and fatally wounded his wife. At Austin. Tex.. Ed Reeves, the noted train-robber, has been sentenced to the penitentiary for life. The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company has begun a suit for S.'KL--000 against Absconder Moore. SOON TO BE STATES. The Way Open for the Admission to the I nion of Dakota, Montana, and Washington. The conference report on the Territorial bill passed both houses of Congress on the 2Jth hist., atid only lacks the signature of the President to become a law. The bill as agreed provides for the admission of the States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Washington. Mr. Plumb, from the Committee on Public Lauds, repo, ted to the Senate the Senate bill for the relief of settlers in Hettinger Coun.y Dakota, which was explained aud passed. (The bill authorizes an exchange of lands on which homestead settlements were made by mistake for oiherpublic lands with the Nor hern Pacific Railroad Company.) A message from the House announcing the signature by the Speaker of the direct tax bill was laid before the Senate, and the bill (having been first signed by the presiding officer) was immediately sent to the President. The House passed a large gr st of bills at its evening session. Among them were the bills lor the establishment of a lighthouse aud log signal at the outer breakwater, Chicago; authorizing Lake. View to erect a water-works crib in Lake. Michigan, and authcrizin 1 bridges across the Missouri River at St. Charles, Mo., near Kansas City, and at Leavenworth, Kas., and across the Mississippi River between Wisconsin and Minnesota at LaCrosse, Wis., and at Lyons, lowa. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. It is stated in Boston, Mass., that the Nevins Ba gng Mills iu Salem will be shut down for an indefinite period, and it is said possibly for a year, at least. The ships chartered to go to Salem with cargoes of jute this spring will be turned to New York by the Boston and New York pilots, who have been instructed tc make New York instead of Salem. The pine medic industry, it is said, is seriously cutting into the jute bagging manufactuie. By a newly patented process, it I is stated, pine needles can be prepared 1 and spun in the same way as jute, making i a stronger bagging at a much less cost. In the process an oil is obtained from the pine needles which brings a good price. The Hon. Sidney T. Fairchild, father of Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild, died at at his home in Cazenovia, N. Y. At Pittsburgh, Pa., the Grand Lake Coal Company, whose property is distributed a’oug the rivers from Pittsburgh to the Gulf, has confessed judgment for $40,000, and a levy has been made on three of their tow-boats. The coal trade is greatly surprised by the failure. The body of John Gray, a resident of Pittston, Pa., was found at that place. Three gun-shot wounds were found on the body, one reaching the heart. It is

supposed he was murdered for the pur- 1 pose of robbery. Fock leading breweries of Rochester, N. Y., have been purchased by the City of London Contract Corporation, limited. which is said to have a capital of $125,000,000. The experts who have been working on the books of the defunct Farmers ami Mechanics’ Bank of the South Side, at Ptttsburg, Pa., have made a statement of the condition of tint institution, which shows that the liabilities are $220,000 and the assets $189,000. It is thought that the depositors will get from 70 to 80 per i per cent, of their deposits. The cashier, I H. F. Voight, who is charged with embez- ■ zling the funds of the bank, is in jail un- ; der $40,000 bail. A TERRIBLE catastrophe occurred at I Hartford. Conn., caused by the explosion i of the large boiler in the basement of the i Park Central Hotel, one of the most popular hotels in that city. The large ; building was completely wrecked, the • great walls going down with a tremendous ’ crash, burying in the ruins all but a few ; of the guests in the house. A special telegram says: Almost simultaneously with the falling walls was a tremendous explosion that shook the whole city and wrecked ,he fronts of all buildings near by. Nothing remained of the handsome hotel but a mass of ruins, which barely filled the deep cellar, and a scant y twenty feet of the rear end of the building, five stories in height, aud showing the interior of the last row or roonja on each floor. The ruined part had been-sliced away as neatly as though with a giant knife. From the ruins arose groans and cries, and front the part still standing were heard the shrieks of the servants, who Jived in an annex. A cold, half-frozen rain from a lowering sky, with the spectacle of wre k aud ruin, and the thickejnveloping clouds of steam which for hours hid from the surging crowds of people I around the policemen’s cordon the occasional awful revelations made by ’lie workmen in unearthiog dead bodies or l irii ' sufferers, combined to make a scene wbieh no beholder will be likely to forget. Held close to the top of the wreckage were a iuan, his wife, aud a child. Flames had burst forth from near the boiler, and these came licking toward tho group. The child cried aloud for help, but no help could teach it. The man and woman loosed death in the face with clasped hands, and a moment late- all were beyond suffering. The flames at first prevented any attempt to rescue any one, and the ruins were flooded with water before any work could be prosecuted. A few dead or dying persons were taken from the edge of the debris, however, within au hour after the explosion. The force of the explosion threw a bed with a sleeping woman upon it far into the street, while one of the heavy doors landed a block away. The special telegram, sent out a few hours after the explosion, continues: The magnitude of tho calamity cannot be realized. The register ot the hotel is lost, and Night Clerk Perry is buried in the ruins. But from the best estimates that can bo procured from the landlord and others it is probable that there were not far irom fifty people iu the hotel proper. Os 1 tese perhaps five escaped uninjured. leaving forty-five to be accounted for. Ten are in the hospital; sixteen dead bodies have been taken from the ruins, leaving nineteen missing. Andrew F. Whiting, actuary or the Hartford Life mid Annuity lusuran o Company; the Rev. Dr. Lavelletto Perrin, agent of the Memorial Hull Association, and wife, and Edward Perry, the night clerk, are in the ruins. It is believed that Mrs. Wesson, of Springfield, Mass., the widow of Frank Wesson, who was killed at the M bite River Junction Railroad accident, was in the hotel, topither with all of her family, five children, and probably a servant or I two. The complete list, of the bodies ; taken out is as follows: Dwight H. j Buell, of Hartford; George Gaines, porter of hotel; J. George Engler, of Hartford; John W. Housman, of Boston; J. C. Hill, of I Bullalo, N. Y.; Louis H. Bronson, of Hartford, his wife and child; George Ketchum, brother of landlord; Eddie Ketchum, son of landlord; George W. Root of Brockport, N, Y. ; Maximilian Galody, proprietor of the llartoford Herold, aud Mrs. Andrew F. Whiting, whose body was burned to a crisp; two unknown persons. The victims at the hospital are: Helen Leport. of New Britain; Rachel Cramer, of Avon: Jacob B. Turpin, a colored barber; Walter M. Gav, of Bayonne, N. J.; Henry Steffel, of Philadelphia; Wellington Ketchum, proprietor of hotel: Mrs, Georgie Ketchum, wife of proprietor; Jennie Decker, of Unionville; Michael Corrigan, of Unionville; Enos James. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. One of the most terrible crimes ever enacted in Michigan took place at Tecumseh. Frank L. Silvers, a prominent horse-breeder and well-known citizen, shot his wife, his two daughters aged 9 and 11 years, respectively, and ended the awful deed by shooting himself. Neighbors, noticing the absence of all life about the premises, broke open the door and entered the parlor, where a horrible sight met their gaze. There upon the floor near the stove, fulldressed and with her glassy eyes staring at the ceiling, lay the body of Mrs. Silvers in a pool of blood. In a small bedtoom, directly above the parlor, were found the bodies of the two little girls only a few feet apart, while at the foot of the bed lay the form of Mr. Silvers weltering in blood, and with life almost extinct. The victims had all been shot through the temple, and, with the exception of Mr. Silvers, all had died instantly. The murder was carefully planned and coolly and systematically executed, but why is not known. The body of Joseph Chemeleck, the Bohemian who killed Mrs. M. L. Chemeleck, his half-brother’s wife, her two daughters, aged 6 and 11 years, respectively, and then committed suicide, at Loudon, Minn.. was taken across the country to his father's home. A number of the former friends of the dead man gathered about tho body. Some of them manifested their disappioval of the crime by muttered curses, while others attempted to kick the body. The only cause suggested for the murder is the fact that one of the murdered girls had testified against Chemeleck in a recent law’ suit. Vildt, a supposed accomplice, has been arrested. The residents of Keya Paha, Holt County, Neb., are much exercised over , the depredations of horse thieves. A j vigilance committee has been formed, and about twenty men have been notified to leave the county at once or run their chances of being lynched. Hattie B. Stephenson, clerk in the Bostoffice at Wellsville, Ohio, has been anested for robbing the mails. She pleaded guilty to two indictments. The Thatcher Bark dummy on the Wisconsin Central Road collided with a freight train at Robey street, Chicago. The dummy was smashed, Engineer Milliam Appleton and Eheman Patrick Wall were instantly killed, and two passengers j w’ere badly hurt. The rest of the oecu- ; pants of the cars were thrown promiscu- i ously around. James Moran, a boy 16 years old, liv- j ing at Brooklyn, 111., was bitten by a mad dog. He was attacked by hydrophobia, and while his mother was attending him he bit her. A week later both mother and i son were suffering with rabies, and it is j thought neither will recover. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. Owing to grief over tho death of her husband, Mrs. Wilhelmina Biebelschauser, a wealthy resident of Crestline, Ohio, committed suicide at her daughter s home in Louisville, Ky. It is reported that a cyclone passed I through Bibb County, Alabama, fifty miles i south of Birmingham, doing great dam ige. Several persons are said to have been killed and many injured. A cyclone also passed over Banks County, Georgia. Thomas Stevens aud son and Mr. and Mrs. Meaders were instantly killed. Another son of Mr. Stevens was injured. Judge Thomas L. Griffey, of Sioux City, lowa, 72 years old, has been sued for $20,000 for breach of promise by Mist? , Sallie McConaghey, of Dakota City, Neb. Last November the Judge, whois quit# wealthy, married a handsome young school-teacher. The cyclone in Banks County tore to pieces the house of Thomas Stevenson, and Stevenson and one of his sons were blown iuto a tree and kill ’d. The remain-

। der of tho family were seriously if not fa- ! tally injured. William Meadows’ bouse near by, was torn into fragments and his wife killed. Twelve other persons were killed by falling timbers. At Nicholson i dozen houses were destroyed. Exit ten ext prevails at Clermont Mills, Md., over the discovery that last September Miss Hannah Colder, aged 3 5, and Miss Catherine Beall, a pretty and vivacious girl, were married by a Catholic priest, who mistook tho Colder woman, from her male attire aud masculine ap pearance, to be a man. Both women are said to have disappeared. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. I The Bigham police bill, providing for the election by the General Assembly of three commissioners for cities having an excess of 29,01)0 population, who shall have full control of the police and fire departments, has passed the Indiana House. An Indianapolis. Ind., special of the 18th inst. says that the Cabinet of the incoming administration has been selected. It will include Blaine for the State Department, Windom for the Treasury, Wanamaker for Postmaster General, Noble of Missouri for the Interior, W. H. H. Miller of Inaiana for Attorney General, John R. Thomas for the Navy, Jeremiah M. Rusk for War, aud Warner Miller for Agriculture. This may be changed .if it appears withiu the next few days that there is any important reason for not. taking into the circle of Presidential advisers one or two of the men who have been, doubtless, chosen after careful consideration of all information concerning them that could be obtained, but at this time Gen. Harrison is satisfied that the selections are the 1 est that he can make. In the Arkansas House four Democrats of Pulaski County resigned their seats, and the four contesting Republicans at once qualified and took the places of tho retiring quartet. The Pennsylvania State Prohibition Convention met at Harrisburg, with 771 delegates in attendance. The convention adopted a resolution indorsing Master Workman Powderly's stand on the Prohibition question, and defeated by a vote of 176 nays to 162 yeas a motion for a committee to prepare a plan of campaign, the opponents of a third party opposing it. Resolutions pledging the organization to tho support of the proposed constitutional amendment were adopted. According to unofficial returns from the six counties comprising the Fourth Congressional District of Missouri, R. P. C. Wilson, of Platte County, and Charles F. Brooker, of Andrew, Democratic nominees for the long and short term respectively to succeed Congressman James N. Burnes, are elected by a small majority. Till': Indiana Senate has killed tho Hays high-license bill, the Democrats voting solidly against it and tho Republicans sol idly for it. The National Tariff Retorm Convention met in Chicago, over 390 delegates being present. The proceedings lasted for three days. • FRESH AND NEWSY. In their review of trade for last week R. G. Dun A Co. say: Actual improvement in business continues. The upward movement iu prices which was noticed last week has not been sustained, the general average for commodities being about half of 1 per cent, lower than a week ago. The output of pig iron has diminished. Wheat advanced 1 cent for the week. Atlantic exports were, in the five weeks ending Feb. 2, only 242.453 bushels, against 1.76J.3..3 last year, and of flour 583,760 barrels, against 1,032,532 last year. This, compared with exports of 19,11.>.335 bushels of corn during the same weeks, against 1,72a,5;>7 last. year, shows how the foreign trade has been affected by the speculation wbieh holds prices of wheat at Chicago far above prices at the seaboard. Corn advanced but half a cent, with sales of 9,000,0. 0 bushels, and oats are unchanged. Oil speculation has lifted the price four and a half cents, with sales of only 7,090,000 barrels nt New York. Cotton, with sales of 375,000 bales, and coffee, with sales of 207,000 bags, have each declined an eighth, and pork is half a dollar lower, with lard 27\> cents lower per 100 pounds. Tho dry goods operations, as in other brunches of business, ore to somo extent retarded by the cle.se scrutiny of credits whieh the slowness or eolleotions in many quarters naturally prompts, but the reports from the interior in that respect are this week rather more favorable than before. The money market bag been easy, rate-; on call declining from 2\> to l^ i>er cent., and the Treasury has disbursed during the week §1,200.000 more than it has taken in, but the decrease in circulation of silver continues. The business failures number 28. i, a; compared with 303 the week before and 332 the week previous. For the corresponding week of last year the failures figured up 273. Hugo Ziemann, c terer of the Richelieu Hotel of Chicago, has been engaged by Gen. Harrison as steward of the White House. Ziemann is a German Republican, .born in Strassburg Aug. 11, 1853. and there began his apprenticeship in hotel service. He spent several years in hotels in Germany, and later was caterer of the Claritch Hotel, London, while Napoleon 11. was there. He retired from this place to become steward of Hotel Chatham, Paris, which place he gave up t-o accompany J. F, D. Lanier in his trip around the world. At the stockholders’ meeting of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Road, Jay Gould retired from the directory, stating in a letter that his health would not permit him to serve longer. Henry A. C. Taylor was chosen to take l the place vacated by Air. Gould. j Cleveland vessel-owners have decidee not to fit out their vessels for navigation before the Ist of May, claiming that the saving in insurance will compensate for the loss of time.

Langtry, Potter and Mather. Ono can almost bear tho “ghoulish glee” with whieh Shakspeare and Mmes. Siddons and Rachel greet this latest theatrical tidings in the nether world. How it must astonish them, too. Cleopatria in tights, and Lady Macbeth, who says she or her ushers must play in kilts to keep up the average sensa- I tional. I really do not see what Mar- ' garet Mather is going to do about it; ■ how she is going to compete with these ■ intellectual expressions of dramatic art. For what remains for gymnastic Juliet when these fair ladies walk off with the entire contents of the theatrical bakery in this cold-blooded ! style? If Langtry, Potter and Mather i eould only bo shaken up in a bag together, what sort of a creation would | they make ? I wish somebody might ; try it.— Cannier, in Boston Herald. A Successful Western Story Paper. From the period when Robert Bonuer achieved his remarkable success iu the field of journalism down to the present time numerous attempts nave been made in the West to permanently establish family story papers, but not until within recent yea re has any effort in this direction ’ met with the least promise of success, i All such ventures have one by one proved j failures, as well from a literary as from a financial standpoint. Not until The Chicago Ledger was established has anything in tho West in the shape of a story paper mot with the approval of the reading world. The j Ledger was started in 1873, and for : nearly sixteen years has pursued the even j tenor of its way. over making now friends as well as retaining old ones. Recent y its i publishers have effected many improve- i ments in The Ledger, and addeu sev- | eral new and attractive features, which ; seem to have struck the popular taste, j and it has leaped into the very front rank | of the great family papers of the country. Having a bright array of contributors, its ■ serial stories and sketches are unexcehed by those of any rival. It | is liberally illustrated, tho pictures ; being designed and executed by first- 1 class nrtfJs. Ils print is bright and clear ; as a new book. In a word, it is in every ( sense a model story paper for the family i and the fireside. Resides, the low price ; at wbieh it is sold ($1.50 a year) places it within the reach of all. These excellent features have combined to build up The Ledgi i: and make it popular with the reading masses. Well as The Ledger has been doing j for its readers in tho immediate past, it promises them still better things iu ‘ tho near future. In the issue for Wednesday, March 13, it will commence the i publication of three great stories, namely: ; “The Modern Aladdin,” by David Lowry; “Dulcie and Toinette, by Mett Win- | wood; aud ‘That W inters Night, ' by Robert Buchanan. These serials are i by authors of world w.de reputation, ! and all ate of thrilling interest, i Printed in book form, the three combined I would make sev<-i d hundred pnges. Those | desiring to read those splendid novels । should subscribe at once. Sample copies of The Ledger will be sent fr e to any one wishing to read the opening chapters. In 1687 the sea retire.l from the । shores of Peru, and returned in moun‘kainous waves, whieh destroyed everything on the coast.

His manner grows so surly; No matter where wo chance to meet, , Or whether late or early, *Tis just the same: he cannot stay, And barely answers a ‘good day.'” Now this is a sad case of misconception. It is not Grimes’ disposition which is at fault, but his liver. He can't appear jolly wlien he feels miserable. If he would take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, the great liver, stomach and bowel regulator, he would soon be the same happy fellow as of old-agreeable to : himself and the world generally. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and through that great blood-purifying organ, cleanses the system of all blood-taints and iinpuritics, from whatever cause arising. It is equally efficacious in acting upon the Kidneys, and other excretory organs, cleansing and strengthening them and healing their diseases. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, it prt^ motes digestion and nutrition, thereby building up both flesh and strength. The only medicine of its class, guaranteed to benefit or cure in all diseases for which it is recommended, or the money paid for it will be promptly refunded.

This Inhaler consists of a powerful MasrneticCoil inclosing a supply of pure Japanese Crystals of Menthol, the whole incased in polished rubber with nickeled removable caps. Sufferers are scarcely aware that Catarrh is due to the presence of microbes in the mu- oils membrane lining the nose and throat. After vne or two simple inhalations the microscope will show in the catarrhal mucus dead forms of the parasites which, before th ? inhalations, were seen to be alive and active. They can only exist iu membranes that are below the healthy standard. It is for the want of the understanding of these facts that the cure ot Catarrh is made difficult. For a permanent cure it is necessary not mly to kill the germ but also to strengthen the p . . ibrane. This is accomplished by the electric force stored up in the Magnetic Coil, being the most powerful natural tonic to the weakened tissues. Speakers and vocalists will find the Inhaler very beneficial in strengthening the voice, forwarded by mail on receipt of the price by D.OGALLKAK A: co.. ?;i Franklin Street, Chicago.
