Things That Do Happen—A Complete Record of Interesting Events the World Over — Shocking Accidents, Startling Crimes, Other Topics. THE SANTA FE ROAD. Annual Report of the Directors Show Disastrous Losses of Business. The annual repoit of the Directors of Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad for the year 1888 has been given out, comparison being made with the year 1887. Average number of miles operated 3,020; increase, 397; gross earnings, $15,612,913; decrease, $2,848,453; operating expenses, including taxes, $11,027,161; increase, $618,707; net earnings, deductingtakes, $4,585,951; decrease, $3,467,160. It will thus be seen that the earnings for the year 1888 are $2,848,453 less than during the preceding year, a decrease of 15 4-10 percent. Os this decrease, SBOI,008 is the loss on passenger business and $2,054,300 is the loss on freight traffic. KILLED IN A HORSE CAR. Five Women Crushed to Death at a Crossing in Kalamazoo. A shocking accident occurred at the West Main street crossing of the Michi, gan Central Railroad, at Kalamazoo, Mich. A street-car containing eight women and two men, was crossing the track when a switch-engine dashed down upon it at a high rate of speed, and the diiver, being unable to get the car out of the way, the helpless passengers were hurled to a terrible death. The human freight was mangled in a terrible manner. Tlie killed and wounded are: Mrs. Alexander Haddock, killed and body horribly mangled; Mrs. M. E. Wateles, instantly killed and body badly mangled ; Miss Gertrude Tillotson, Mis. George Smiley. Mrs. Middleton, and Mrs. Van Antwerp,‘killed; Mrs. Gibson, injured in the head and side; Mrs. Baines, badly cut and bruised about the head. Both of the male passengers escaped, and the driver jumped fiom his seat in time to avoid anything but a few bruises. AROUND THE DIAMOND. Base-Ballists Competing tor the League Championship.

Imprisonment at Winnipeg of an American for an Old Offense. Eighteen years ago Albert Pearson was sentenced to three years in Manitoba Penitentiary, at Winnipeg, for receiving stolen horses, knowing them to be stolen. After serving a year he escaped across the line an d settled in Dakota, where he has lived ever since. He went to Winnipeg recently on a visit, and was arrested. He is now a naturalized citizen of the United States, and whether he can be imprisoned for the remainder of the term he should have served is a question that has yet to be settled. The United States Consul will look after his interests. The American Tract Society. The American Tract Society held its annual meeting at New York. The receipts from all sources during the year were $120,072 and the expenditures $123,165. The old Board of Managers were re-elected, with the addition of Warner Van Orden of New York and Albert B. Monroe The other officers of the society and the committees were also re-elected. District Attorneys Resign. The Attorney General has received the resignation of William E. Purcell, United States Attorney for Dakota. The resignation of William H. Dawson, United States Attorney for the Northern and Middle Districts of Alabama, has been accepted by the President, to take effect June 1. Died of Starvation. Miss Annie Vancil, of DuQuoin, 111., died of starvation. Several weeks ago her mother was adjudged insane and sent to an asylum. Miss Vancil declared she would eat nothing until her mother was released. She lived seventy-five days, the last thirty of which she tasted absolutely nothing. Meeting of the Y. M. C. A. At Philadelphia the twenty-eighth International Convention of theY. M. C. A. was opened by General 0. 0. Howard, of New York, a number of prominent laymen of the evangelical churches being present. _ Caused by an Operator. A blunder by a telegraph operator caused a collision at Glen Mary. Tenn., between a freight and passenger train on the Cincinnati Southern Road. A fireman was killed and four other employes wounded. Disastrous Fires. The town of Elba, Minn., not far from Winona, was almost destioyed by the prairie fires which raged in that part of the State. Fire at North Judson, Ind., destroyed property valued at $25,000. The fire originated from a bonfire started by small boys in an alley. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. At shaft No. 16 of the new aqueduct, at Hudson-on-the-Hudson, N. Y., 10,000 pounds of nitro-glycerine exploded. A loss of $20,000 was caused, but no lives were lost. The American Peace Society held its annual meeting at Boston, Mass. The Hon. Edward S. Tobey was re-elected President. Thf. Emigration Commissioners at New York are undecided whether or not to let land a man named Gonzales, a convicted, robber, who was pardoned at Gibraltar, the famous fortress, for acting as executioner of a condemned murderer. At Brooklyn, N. Y., James Stone, a colored jockey, who killed a bartender at Coney Island, was sentenced to be hanged June 25. This was Stone's third trial, the juries on former occasions having disagreed. Three alternating current electric dynamos, to be placed in the penitentiaries at Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton, to be used for the killing of condemned criminals, have been purchased by the State of New York. At Rochester, N. Y., Railway Detective Lapointe shot and killed 'a man named

Gascogne, a professional car thief, who attempted to escape with a quantity of car fixtures which he had purloined. ! Near Ashland, Pa., an explosion of dynamite killed one man and seriously wounded seven others. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. The St. Vincent Orphan Asylum, three miles east of Vincennes, Ind., has been destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $50,000. St. Vincent’s was a Catholic institution, and under the direction of the Catholic .Church of the Vincennes diocese. About one hundred and fifty orphans were educated there. The fire caught from a defective fine. All the children escaped. Sister Bridget was severely burned, and had a remarkabla escape from death. The institution will be rebuilt at once. Ed Coyle, the proprietor of numerous gambling dens, at Columbus, Ind., has been arrested for murderously assaulting Dick Bunkley, a visitor to one of his notorious places. Bunkley was seriously injured by being struck several times with a poker in the hands of Coyle. At the time of the affray there were fully 150 at the tables playing. All escaped arrest. Coyle will be prosecuted for conducting gambling rooms. The bluffs along the Missouri, near Chamberlain, Dakota, are covered with the white prairie schooners and the tents of hardy farmers from lowa and other Eastern States, who have cast their tents in anticipation of the speedy opening of the Sioux reservation. It is expected that when the reservation is opened the rush for claims will resemble the Oklahoma rush, as the land is much better and the amount many times greater. Floßen Beck, 10 years old, son of D. Beck, a farmer living four miles from £t. Joe, Mo., was frightened to death. He went to St. Joe with his brother and was left in charge of the team. A streetscraper passing became unfastened and fell to the ground, making a sharp report. The next instant young Beck fell from the seat to the wagon bed and was picked up dead, his heart having ceased action from fright. Kittie Edwards, who was shot in Council Bluffs, lowa, three weeks ago by John Poland, who afterward committed suicide, is dead. S. D. Williams, general agent for the Siberling Machine Company, of Akron, Ohio, committed suicide at Fort Branch, Ind., by cutting his throat. He had been showing the machine to a customer, and suddenly walked to the rear of the hardware store and sat down on a box and severed his jugular vein with a pocketknife. The strike of coal-dock laborers at Duluth, Minn., has ended. The other night a peculiar circumstance was noticed by a number of people at Jamestown, Dakota. A small black cloud hanging rather low was observed to move rather queerly, when suddenly the cloud was lost sight of and a precipitation of frogs was seen. There were several hundreds of them, and they could be seen hopping up in the street a block away. It is claimed that a funnel-shaped cloud, indicating a cyclone, was seen in the west shortly before, and the theory of some is that the frogs were caught up from some slough in this whirlwind and carried in the air until it spent itself, which happened to be over the center of Jamestown. The town of Beaver Dam, Ohio, was visited by a fire which destioyed the entire business portion of the town, besides many residences. The loss is estimated at between SBO,OOO and SIOO,OOO, with an insurance of only $15,000. It is not thought that the burned district will be rebuilt. Fierce forest fires were reported iu Midland, Clare, Gladwin, Osceola and Huron Counties, Michigan, on the Bth inst. A brisk wind fanned the Hames. Men worked in brigades trying to check the progress of the fire. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. Etienne Des Champs, aged 60, who in September last murdered Julliette Deitche, aged 12, at New Orleans, La., has been found guilty of murder in the first degree. The culprit had been ou intimate terms with bis victim, and at the time attempted suicide, but was resuscitated. Joseph Hersfelder, a well-known clothing “drummer," of Memphis, Teun., committed suicide with morphine in a hotel in that city. The State Institute for Feeble-minded at Frankfort, Ky., was burned, but the inmates were all rescued without accident. The insurance foots up $25,000. A tragedy occurred near Covington, Tipton County, Tenn., which resulted in the killing of W. T. Douglass, Mayor of that city. It seems a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Henry Donaldson, a negro who was charged with assault. Mayor Douglass was one o? a posse of ten men who went to the negro’s house to effect his arrest. They found his cabin closed and called upon him to open the door. Receiving no answer they gave warning that unless the door was opened they would break it down, at the same time informing him that they had a warrant for his arrest. Just at this period a gun was thrust through the door and discharged by the negro on the inside. The contents struck Douglass, who was in front, killing him instantly. It being dark and the posse fearing another discharge they immediately retreated, and Donaldson succeeded in making his escape. E. J. Slaughter, of Glen Elk, W. Va., has been arrested, charged with fraudulently representing himself as a pension examiner. _ POLITICAL PORRIDGE. On the 2JBth ballot, at Emporia, Kan., the Republicans of the Fourth District nominated Harrison Kelley for Congress. A Washington, D. C., special of the 3d inst. says: The Pres'dent has sent a telegram to Chicago asking Frank Palmer if he will accept the office of Public Printer. The appointment of Captain Meredith, also of Chicago, as Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, will probably be announced at once. ACROSS THE OCEAN. The London Post’s Berlin correspondent says: “It is understood that England, in the interests of the Australian colonies, will on many points support the American proposals in regard to Samoa.” The Berlin correspondent of the News says: “Perhaps Tamasese will be appointed Vice King of Samoa, but Germany will decline to allow Mataafa any official position.” A Berlin telegram says: A committee of the Berlin conference has been directed to examine and report upon the means for estaolishing order in Samoa and adequate guaranties for the maintenance of peace, including the question of a King. Dr. Knappe, formerly German Consul at Apia, denies that Mataafa ordered bis adherents to aid in rescuing the sailors of the German men-of-war recently wrecked at that place. On the contrary, he says, Mataafa

forbade his followers to assist the Ger- I mans in any way. Dr. Knappe also I severely censures the “loose discipline” of the American sailors in Samoa. He ] accuses them of thievish propensities and i a fondness for liquor. j The great French exposition, the greatest the world has ever seen, is open at Paris, France. The formal ceremony of giving to the people this magnificent show took place when President Carnot delivered an address and touched the button that set the vast machinery in motion. Only 1,500 people were able to see the real ceremony inside the grand vestibule, j or to hear President Carnot’s speech, j which, however, was a very good effort. ■ Probably 250,000 people went in on ! tickets. The scene was a magnificent one, and the crowd a prodigious one. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Assistant Secretary Bussey has rendered an important decision in the pension case of Mary E. McNeil, widow of Alexander McNeil, late private 1 in Company D, One Hundred and ; Nineteenth Illinois Volunteers. The case involves the important question of “line of duty,” and the former decision is reversed and the Commissioner of Pensions is directed to place the name of the widow on the pension rolls. In speaking of the decision Mr. Bussey said that he was of the settled opinion that a soldier is in line of duty, within the meaning of the pension laws, when he is not engaged in violating any order, army rule, or regulation, or violating any instruction of his superior officer for the police regulation of the camp. FRESH AND NEWSY. X' A Matanzas, Cuba, special says: In grinding the spring canes sugar planters find that the deficit in their yield is greater than was first anticipated. Next year’s grinding will not commence until the . middle of January, and, on account of the great drought now prevailing, which prevents new sowing, the prospects for the crop of 1889 are very poor. In Cienfuegos and other principal ports the stocks are strongly held by merchants who have decided to wait until September before selling, in the hope of further advance in price. The directors of the Northern Pacific have ratified the agreement with the Wisconsin Central, the contract providing for 1 the use of the latter’s tracks to and their terminals in Chicago. The indications are that a big railway deal is on the tapis. The Northern Pacific and Manitoba on one hand, and the Manitoba and Northwestern on the other, are negotiating, and have been for ■ some time past, with a view of either consolidating into one system or at least arranging a running and traffic agreement by which trains of either road can pass over both lines. Railway men at Ottawa, Ont., say that the consolidation is sure to be brought about. R. G. Di n & Co.’s review of trade for s last week is as follows: The unprecedented interruption of buainea« by centennial preparations and celebrations ha* made the week nearly a blank in commercial or financial respects. At New York accumulated orders gave a surface appearance of greater activity Thursday and Friday, but it is not too soon to judge which way the tide will turn, and the reports from other cities, though nearly all hopeful in tone, do not indicate the expected improvement. The situation seems better at Milwaukee, satisfactory at Omaha, good at Cleveland as to most branches, but questionable as to iron ; rather dull at Kansas City and St. Paul, । and les* endburaging at the chief centers of the grain, iron, coal and leather trades. Collections are "far from satisfactory" at Milwaukee , and not improved at Detroit, but in ther lines the situation seems fairly satisfactory. At New York some dry goods dealers complain that ' collections are "too good’—buyers keep so far ■within means. Reports about the wool trade are contradictory A report that the Treasury may not decide the woolen worsted question for months disturbs importers, who have quantities of goods locked up because collectors are waiting for a decision. Otherwise the woolen trade shows a little better movement. Silks are quiet, but linens are quite active. A fair business in boots and shoes continues. The paper trade is active. The slow improvement continues in drugs and chemicals. Wheat tended downward, haling sold at 82^c. Corn declined q and oats I cents. Pork is unchanged, with lard and hogs a shade higher. Coffee and sugar are unchanged, but oil is au eighth higher. The business failures numbered 214 as against 213 for the previous week. PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS Those Who Have Been Successful in Their Aspirations. The President has made the following appointments: Andrew J, Evans, of Texas, to be Attorney of the United States for the Western District of Texas. William H. H. Clayton, of Arkansas, to be Attorney for the United States for the Western District of Arkansas. William H. H. Clayton, the new District Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, is a brother of the Clayton who ran against Breckinridge for Congress in the last election, and whose subsequent murder created a sensation. He came from Pennsylvania originally, and during the war served iu the Union army. He lives at Fort Smith, and was displaced by Cleveland from the place to •which he has just been appointed. Frank W. Palmer of Illinois, to be Public Printer; Theodore Roosevelt of New York and Hugh S. Thompson of South Carolina, to be Civil Service Commissioners ; Arthur L. Thomas of Salt Lake City, Utah, to be Governor of Utah ; Elijah Sells of Salt Lake City, Utah, to be Secretary of Utah ; Ellsworth Daggett, of Utah, to be Surveyor General of Utah; Perry J. Anson of Idaho, to be Registrar of the Land Office at Blackfoot, Idaho; William H. Danielson of Idaho, to be Receiver of Public Moneys at Blackfoot, Idaho; Michael A. Leahy of Wisconsin, to be Agent for the Indians of the La Pointe Agency, in Wisconsin; Joseph F. Bennett, of New Mexico, to be Agent of the Indians of the Mescalero Agency, in New Mexico; James JN. Beacon, of Katreas, to be Referee and Chairman of the Referees to be appointed under the act of March 2, 1887, entitled, “An oct to grant the right of way through the Indian Territory to the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska Railway,” for the purpose of appraising the compensation to be made by said railway company to the Cherokee Nation.

Some Old Fashions Revived. Thore is at present a revival of old fashi ions steadily going on. Popular favor has returned to m^ny of tho customs of early ' times, and our homes are rapidly assuming । an air of the past. The old spinning-wheel has returned from exile and forms a conspicuous and interesting ornament in our homes. Quaint old tapestries, rugs and articles ; of furniture have been i estored to deserved popularity. There is a reason for this revival. Our ancestors were of the substantial kind, and their tastes were accordingly marked. They looked to their personal comfort, I and when it was attained they stopped. 1 Fashions foibles had no charm for them, and in mind and person they were tho equal I of any people the world has yet seen. Quick in perception and accurate in judgi ment. they soon detected the cause of any physical discomfort and as quickly applied ' the proper means for the removal of it. Conspicuous among some of the old fashio is recently revived has been the reproduction of some of our grandmothers’ early time home cures, which are now holding a deserved position in popular favor, un- , der the name of Warner’s Log Cabin rem--1 edies, and include a Sarsaparilla for the ; blood, Hops and Buchu for the stomach i and system. Cough Remedy for colds. Extract for internal or external pain. Hair Tonic, Rose Cream for catarrh, Plasters and Pills. For pitrfcy. simplicity, and for their genuine beneficial properties, they are unequaled. and arc worthy of out- good old grandmothers, who first produced them. May there be a revival, by th-ir use. of the good health and long lives of early times 1 A New Rheumatism Cure. People afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgic pains in this place have a new fad. Ever since the electric ■ street railway between Ansonia and Binningliam has been in operation it has been noticed that certain persons make it a point to ride up and down on the electric cars at least once a day. The system employed here takes the { electric current from an overhead wire, i and the motor is in a small compartinent in the front end of the car, being separated from the passengers by only a light partition. These persons generally manage to sit as near this partition as possible, and they lean their heads against it when they can. Are t porter asked a conductor about it. “They are taking their shock,” was his reply, and questioning brought this: “There’s several of ’em who ride up j and down ou my ear every day, sometimes making one and sometimes two ! round trips at a time. There’s one old lady down in Derby avenue who stops my car every day at the same hour and takes the trip with me. When she ■ first began she was so lame from rheuj matisni that she had to use a cane to w aik with, and often I had to help her on to the ear. She used to sit close to the motor, and in such a position that her knees as well as her head touched the partition. At last she discarded : her cane, and now she is almost as spry ; as I am, though she is twice as old, Tlien 1 have ladies get on my ear suffering from sick headache, and they tell me that a round trip cures ’em every time. One of them tells me that she is so sensitive to the electric current that she can feel it as soon as the ear starts, while another says she can't feel it at fill, blit f< els the effect after the ride." Letter from Attson 'ut, tuna. Agoiiy Is Courted i By persons wbo, attacked by a mild form of rheumatism, neglect to seek prompt relief. Sub- ; sequent torture is prevented by an immediate resort to Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Slight exposure, an occasional draught, will beget this painful malady, where there is a predisposition to it in the blood, ft is not difficult to arrest the trou-le at the outset, but well nigh impossible j to eradicate it whi n matured. No evidence in relation to this supe>b blood depurent is moio positive than that * Inch establishes its efficacy as a preventive and remedy for rheumatism. Not only is It thorough, but safe, which theveg- ■ etable and mineral poisons, often taken as curatives of the disease, are not. Besides expelling the rheumat ie virus from the system, it overi comes fever and ague, biliousness, constipation, and dyspepsia. Raising Corn lor I he Cobs. There is a cob-pipe factory located at Sedan, Mo., which is doing a rushing business. The factory pays at the rate of If cents for one-aud-one-quarter-ineh cobs, and 14 cents for one-and-a half-inch cobs. A inau hauled a load the other day of one-and-a-half-inch cobs which brought him $64. The time may yet come when the people will raise wheat for the chaff. Memphis . AtHilduche. . NOTHING LI KE IT. I Great Rejoicing in the Conover Family— Crutches Laid Aside After Twenty Years’ Use. I have been afflicted with rheumatism tw’enty years. For the last ten years have I been obliged to use crutches. Often my left hip and knee would entirely give out. Have expended a large amount of money for remedies recommended as a cure for that terri- < ble disease; have used the most powerful ! liniments on my hip and knee to soothe the pain, that I might get a little sleep. My hip and knee had lost nearly all strength by the j use of liniments, and I could get no help. I saw an advertisement of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, ordered half a dozen bottles, took them and received some relief, then ordered a dozen. Have taken seven of the j last dozen, and I am happy in saying that I j know lam being cured. Have not used any ! liniment since I commenced taking your ■ syrup. When I began taking your syrup I j could not take a step without the use of a ' cane, neither could I turn myself in bed j without aid; can now turn in bed without i any trouble, can walk about my house and ! office without the use of my cane, often i losing track of it. for the reason when I take ; a long walk I take it along. My office is four ; tiocks from my house; I have not walked ■ to or from it for over a year until last’lliursday, a week. Since that time I have walked to and from it every day. except Sunday. I am truly rejoicing that I am fast being relieved from such a terrible affliction. Very truly, S. S. Conover, Agent of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., Manistee, Mich. No Great Advantage. Mr. Highlive (looking up from the paper)—Well, well! Wonders will never cease.! They’ve got so now that they can photograph in colors. Mrs. Highlive (glancing at his nose) —I think, my dear, you’d better get your picture before the old process is abandoned. — New York Ihekly. Tlie Chief Reason for the great success of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is found in the fact that Merit Wins. It is the best blood purifier and actually accomplishes all that is claimed for it.

Edgar Allan Roc. Although Mr. James sneers at Poe, Mr. Howells does not deem him worthy of a place among the three greatest poets America has produced, and although Mr. Stoddard paints him as having been a scoundrel and a thief of ! the worst dye, there are thousands of educated English and American readers who yet have faith in the genius and the manhood of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe may not have been quite as pure and undefiled a saint as some of the great, immaculate, alleged American critics who stab his memory in fits ol cowardly jealousy, but he was so mentally superior to this curious little conglomeration of ephemeral pygmies that all the obloquy they heap on his grave will not. serve to blind the Englishreading people to their motives. — Alexander N.

A Costly French Canal. The estimated cost of the projected ship canal between Bordeaux, on the Atlantic, and Narbonne, on the Mediterranean, Fiance, is $130,000,000. The vast undertaking -comprising as it does a length of 330 miles to save a voyage around Spain of 700 miles—would have a depth of twenty-seven feet in order to allow of the passage of heavy iron-clads, and would require thirty-eight locks. The plan also contemplates a railway track alongside,so that by means of locomotive tow age a speed of seven miles an hour could be maintained by day, and also by night by the aid of electric lights. Forced to I.eave Home. Over sixty people were forced to leave their homes yesterday to cull for a free trial package of Lane’s Family Medicine, li your blood is bad, your liver and kidneys out of order, if you are constipated and have headache and an unsightly complexion, don’t fail to call on any di u. gist to-day for a free sample of this grand remedy. The laities praise it. Every one likes it. Large size package, 50 cents. “John Bull,” a nickname given to Englishmen, is said to be derived from Dr. Arbuthnot's satire of that name, published in 1712. George Colman the younger wrote a comedy called “John Bull," which was performed in 1805. If the Sufferers from Consumptioit, Scrofula, and Gmerul Debility will try Scott's Emulsioi. of Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites they will find immediate relief and a permanent benetit. Dr. H. V.

VIIII ill l ' I 111 A WOMAN’S DESPAIH. ‘•'Death would be preferable to this awful, dragging-down sensation and aching back,” despairingly complained a suffering mother. “And the worst of it is,” she added, “there seems no cure for it.” “You arc mistaken,” replied the sympathizing neighbor to whom the sufferer complained. “ I suffered for years just as you do, and found no relief till my physician finally prescribed Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, which cured me, and I have ever since been well, and the wealth of India would not induce mo to be without the remedy, if a like affliction should return.” “Favorite Prescription ”is the world-famed invigorating tonic and soothing nervine especially designed for women. “Favorite Prescription ” is the only medicine for women, sold by dn. nsts under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle-wrappers, and faithfully carried out for many years.
