ij-A-Tissi’r ixria-w'sj IHMWL DOINGS OF THE DAY. EVENTFUL HAPPENINGS IN EVEKY KNOWN HEMISPHERE. An Interesting Summary of the Latest News by Wire—Fires, Accidents, Crimes, Politics, Religion, Commerce and Crops, Sandwiched with Minor Affairs. ILLINOIS CENTRAL MANAGER. A Successor to E. T. Jeffery Appointed by President Fish. Stu yaesant Fish, President of the Illinois Central Railroad Company, has given official notice of the appointment of C. A. Beck as General Manager of the company. Mr. Beck has been Acting General Manager of the road ever since Mr. Jeffery s resignation. Previous to that time he was General Superintendent in charge of the operating department. As Mr. Beck is a thorough operating man, but has not heretofore given any special attention to traffic affairs, it is quite probable that he will continue to devote his principal attention to the operating affairs of the company, in which . line of business he has few, if any, superiors. THE MONTANA CONTEST. Sanders Declared a United States Senator by the Republicans. A Helena (Mont.) dispatch says: The Republican House and Republican Senators met in joint session in the House New Year’s day and declared W. F. Sanders elected United States Senator. At a caucus later there was no choice for second Senator, the votes being divided between Richards, Knowles, Power, Mantle, and Carpenter. Richards or Power is regarded as the most promising candidate. The Democratic House and two Democratic Senators met in joint convention and voted for W. A. Clark and i Martin Maginnis for Senators. There ’ being no quorum present adjournment was taken. THREATEN TO BURN THE TOWN. Race Troubles at Barn Well, S. C.—The Whole County Up In Arms. Dispatches received at Charleston, S.

Failure at Topeka, Kan. J. W. DaLman, a dry goods dealer of North Topeka, Kan., has assigned, with liabilities of $11,882. R. B. McMasters is named as the assignee. The immediate cause of the assignment was the threatening attitude of a Chicago clothing firm of which he had bought clothing in the fall and on account of the warm weather had failed to dispose of. The assets will no doubt balance the liabilties. Panic at a Bull-Fight. A City of Mexico dispatch says: “By the partial collapse of the plaza at Villalordo in the State of Durango during a bull-tight hundreds of spectators were thrown to the ground,-a distance of ten to twenty-five feet. The crowd became panic-stricken and a heart-rending scene followed. Men and women were trampled under foot and escaped with their clothing torn completely off. No lives were lost. Faith in the Triple Alliance. Minister Tisza, of Austria, in replying to New Year congratulations, declared emphatically his faith in the triple alliance as the basis of peace. He said that Hungary had especial need for peace in order that she might securely effect many necessary reforms. In spite of the attacks made upon him, he said he would retain the post to which the Emperor had called him. ' - Said to Be 109 Years Old. Charles King, the patriarch of Middleton, Mass., has just celebrated his 109th birthday, and apparently is good for several more such anniversaries.

Mr. King lives at Middleton with his fourth son, who himself is 72 years old. t The Egyptian Debt.

A Boston dispatch says: Although the authorities of Arlington have not been officially informed of the fact, it is understood that next spring work will be begun on a library building which will cost when completed not less than $250,000. Ten thousand volumes will be placed in it as a nucleus and presented to the city. The giver of this royal gift is Mrs. Maria Robbins, of New York. Richabd K. Fox, of New York, has received a cable from London that Peter Jackson, the black champion of Australia, wants to fight Frank Slavin.

He moved to Oregon in 1876 and had resided there since. Fire broke out in Ansil L. Hill's furniture factory, at Faribault, Minn., the other night. The firemen could not approach within fifty feet of the burning building on account of the intense heat. The loss ot property will exceed $60,090, fully insured. The cause of the fire was spontaneous combustion. It started on the third floor in the paint shop. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. At the last term of the Tennessee Supreme Court held in Knoxville, five Barnards were convicted of the murder of Henry Sutton and sentenced to be hanged. The case attracted wide attention, especially as in a few weeks all were pardoned by the Governor of Tennessee. A few days ago three of the Barnards and Bill Fugate, who boasts of having killed six men, went to the house of Sampson Williams, father-in-law of the murdered man, with the determination of killing him. He was away. On his return he fled to Sneedville, the county seat, for protection. The Barnards are camping at a distillery near Williams’ house with homicidal intent. The county officials are taking steps to arrest them, and this will lead certainly to a bloody battle. The scene of the trouble is miles away from a telegraph line and in the heart of the Cumberland Mountains. An Atlanta (Ga.) dispatch says that nearly $9,000 have been raised for a monument to Henry W. Grady, and only a few subscriptions have been received outside Atlanta as yet.

Since her death Dom Pedro has been fairly deluged with telegrams and letters condoling with him on the loss of his wife. The last utterances of the exEmpress were expressions of regret that sho could not be surrounded by her children and that she could not return to beautiful Uraz.il. A dispatch from Rio Janeiro says the news of the death of the

ex-Empress was a great shock to the people. The regret is very general, for sho was greatly loved, and her charities were innumerable. She was, in fact, held in - higher estimation than Dom Pedro himself.

Sir William Wedderburn, the President of the congross, condemned the Indian beaurocracy and claimed for the people of India the same control over their government that the people of England possess over theirs. Ho instanced many abuses under the present irresponsible, despotic 1 government. A Lisbon cable says: “The decreepro--1 longing the military dictatorship in Bra- ) zil for a year has dismayed the Portuguese Republicans an I a decided reaction in favor of the monarchy has ensued. The formal accession of the King therefore lakes place under much more favorable circumstances." i The town of Aci Reale, in Sicily, has been shaken by an earthquake. Several houses collapsed and many persons wore buried in tho ruins. । A London cable says: The eightieth anniversary of W. E. Gladstone’s birth absorbed so much attention/-as to make it a day of national remembrance. Telegrams and letters of congratulation and admiration poured into Hawarden from not only all quarters of England but , literally from all parts of the world. All the members of the Gladstone family br. nches were gathered nt Hawarden to meet and greet their eminent kinsman. The church attended by Mr. Gladstone was crowded nt the morning service and a large throng remained outside unable to gain admittance. Mr. Gladstones took his usual part in the service, reading the lessons, and said a few words of devout thankfulness for the blessings of health ’ and friendship.

The immigration to this country during the year just closed is about 100,000 smaller than it was during 1»8, when it was a little more than 500,000. There has been a pretty steady decline since 1882, when the tide reached its highest point, bringing into the country in that year about 720,000 aliens. Germany continues to send the largest number coming from any single country, nearly 100,000. England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales combined send al out 110,000. From Norwa • and Sweden the tide is still strong, as it has been for many years, about 45,(1C0 coming this year.’ The total for LBB9 will complete the record for seventy years, during which accurate statistics have been compiled. These will show that the United States has received from ' foreign countries since 1820 an aggregate of about 15,000,000 of people, of whom I Great Britain has sent about 6,000,000, j Germany about 4,500,000, Norway and I Sweden about SOO,OOO, and France about ! 350,000.

BRAZIL NOT ALL SERENE RUMORS OF ANOTHER POPULAR UPRISING. Tho Provisional Government Said Not to Inspire Confidence Among tho Friends of Dom Podro — Minister Barboza Declares tho Safety of the Republic Is Assured. The steamship Savona, which has recently arrived at New York from Brazilian ports, reports that the people of Santos are divided in their adherence to the republic, a large nninber favoring thi exiled Emperor. Thore was nothing new to report at Rio Janeiro, and quietness prevailed at Cerea. ('apt. Fisher of the steamship Sirius, which left Rio Janeiro Dec. 4, reports that several foreign warships, among them the I nited States steamer Richmond, had arrived in the harbW, and that quietness reigned in the city, but that a riot had taken place in the Rio Grande district, although no particulars could be learned up to the time of sailing. A Washington special says that Brazilians in the United States look for trouble in the new republic. The reluctan e of 1 some of the most prominent liberals to i give their adhesion to the provisional government of Da Fonseca is taken as an indication that the.-e men have intimated that it would be advisable to ascertain whether the new authorities are entitled to general confidence or whether they have undertaken something that they are not strong enough to carry out. They regard the retusal of Don Jose Mariano of 1 rernambu o to accept tho Governorship of that province as very sig nificant Mariano is described as a man of immense influence, and it is said that if he should advise tlio people of Pernambuco to withdraw from the republic they would do so and would be .joined by neighboring provinces in establishing a new government of the north. There is no fear of intervention by Germany or any other European power, as it is believed that a hostile demonstration against Brazil would bring all the provinces together and develop a unity of the South Ameri an republics that would be astonishing and perhaps unprofitable to all foreign nations interested in Brazilian affairs. j Private cables to merchants here report that exchange has declined 3.J pence since j Dom Pedro was deposed. Rubber has advanced from 2,200 to 2, 100 rets. Thore is only a fortnight’s supply of rubber in stock, and should trouble occur in Brazil it is feared that rubber factories will bo forced to shut down. A Washington special says: Tho lollowing telegram from Ruy Barboza, the new Brazilian minister of finance, has been received at tho Brazilian legation: “From cablegrams wo learn that, unfortunately, there is no speculation from newsmongers against us which is not credited in Europe, in spite of all our warnings against this sort of conspiracy. Reports about mutiny of corps of artillery false; only mutiny of a few soldiers. Immediately suppressed The aggravation of Uen Fonseca’s illness not true; on tho contrary, he is recovering speedily from his former complaints. In the army itself tho revolution can rely on other chiefs of great prestige and no less devoted to the cause. All the different political parties have espoused with enthusiasm the term fixed (Nov. 15, 1890,1 for tho meeting of the constituent assembly, they consider jng by this act tho stability of tho republic insured. Beware of newsmongers," Later Minister \ alento received another cablegram from S-nhor Barboza, giving the reasons why it was impossible to call the constituent assembly before Novem- I ber. Rio do Janeiro cable: The go\eminent has issued a decree providing that ; all persons found endeavoring to cori nipt the allegiance of the soldiers or conj triving or proposing any measure for ac- ■ tive opposition to the republic shall bo tried by a military tribunal. An opposi - tion journal was suspended on Tuesday. The government at Para has established a monopoly of the India rubber trade. Many of tho export houses chiefly American and French doing business amounting to 300,000,000 francs yearly have tent protests to the legations of their respective countries. M. Spuller, th • French foreign minister, has telegraphed to the French minister in Brazil for details. ( ALII tiHMA I LOODS. M ide-pread Destruction by Washouts and Overflow s. A Los .Angeles dispatch says: Railroad communications are cut off in all directions as a result of the heavy rainfall. The Southern Uaeiflc and Santa Fe people report washouts and landslides and bridges washed away in many places. The road across the Mojave desert is badly demoralized, as is the ease also on tho line | l>etween this city and the Tehachapi | mountains. Over seven miles of the | Southern Pacific track on the San Pedro j branch are under water. The railroad I superintendents state that they do not ! know when trains will be running, as it is i still raining. The SouthernJPacific reports their loss, so far as known, on tracks and bridges at $150,000. The Santa Fe say their loss is $200,000. The damage in this city is great. Many streets are impassable. The last train on the Southern | Pacific road from the East and North ar- | rived Monday. The railroad bridge 1 across the San Gabriel river at El Modena is gone, Supt. Muir says that trains will not go through to San Francisco for days—at least five. Los Angeles, San Gabriel and New San Gabriel rivers overflowed the land between them forming one river, which is rushing to the ocean, doing much damage. A lake five miles in extent was formed on the Laguna ranch. Serious washouts occurred in Soledad canyon, where five miles of country are under twenty feet of water. Several stretches of 1,000 feet on each side of the railroad track are washed out, and one iron and many wooden bridges have been washed away, it will take a week to place the track in running order. A Tehachapi (Cal.) dispatch says: The Southern Pacific is open as far as the south side in Soledad canyon. From there to the Santa Clara river the track is gone for several miles, with the bridge across the river. Within the last twenty hours six work trains, with 600 men and loaded with material, hurried south, Supt. Pratt being with the last one. Both bridges are gone over the Los Angeles river. Ihe road for through trains can not be opened with reasonable weather for some days. The Atlantic & Pacific lost a bridge across tho Mojave river at Barstow yesterday, and slides are reported at Cajon pass. It was raining to-day and no mails have been received for three days. i’KIN I’EKS WILL STRIKE Compositors on Hit' Morning Papers Demand a*i Increase. Typographical union No. 2, of Philadelphia, at a meeting, has decided to strike by a vote of 215 io 20. The union demanded 45 cents per 1,000 ems instead of 40 cents from the morning papers, which was refused. Today’s decision must be 'submitted to the International union, and if they approve the strike will then take place. E. P. Plank, of Indianapolis, the International president, was present at the meeting to day. _ MANY MINERS IDLE. About 14.000 Without Work in One Pennsylvania District. At Scranton, Pa., the announcement is made that the Erie railroad mines will close • down, and also fifteen of the Delaware and Hudson mines in the Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys, which, with the individual operators who will shut down and the idle operatives of the Pennsylvania Coal company and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western company, will leave 11,000 men and boys in this region alone without work, _

Some strange adventures of an elephant are reported from Lisburn. A circus was passing through Belfast a day or two since, when an elephant named Jumbo became ill. A dose of whisky was administered with startling results. Jumbo broke away, got on the railway, and eventually arrived at Lisburn Station. After exploring tho goods department therp ho smashed an iron gate, and (hen entered the grounds of a private gentleman and did groat damage. Ho next proceeded onward, looking in at the dedrs of several houses, frightening the people very much. Passing on to the village of Hillsborough, ha visited gardens, stables, and outhouses, bursting in a number of doors. On entering one stable he caused a stampede among the horse s. The circus people were looking for the animal all night, und he was not brought back till half-past 4 the following morning.— (iuli(inani'N MrMevoer The Grave Gets Tirc<i YaWiiln*, Seemingly, for certain wretched invalids who toddle feebly along, though always looking as if they were going to die, but omitting to do it. They dry up, wither, dwindle away finally, but in the meantime never having robust health, know nothing of the physical enjoyment the zeet of thart existence to which they cling with such remarkable tenacity. They are always to bo found trying to mend by tinkering at themselves with some trashy remedy, tonic or “pick me up" to give a fillip to digestion, or "help the fiver."

A Pleasant Delusion. When Russian decorations are given to foreigners they usually take the form of medals, which at St Petersburg are the reward of faithful domestics of the courts. Dumas pere received the modal of St. Anne after he had written a stoiy of Russian life; but, hearing that such a decoration was of no social '’tilue he returned it to St Petersburg, thereupon a cross of the second-class of that uiuer was dispatched to him, with an apology for the mistake, as it was termed. A famous singer was once ridiculed at bt. Petersburg when he walked al out wearing the medal of St. Andrew, which he innocently regarded as being very neai y equal to the light-blue ribbon gold col-lar-chiun, and eight-pointed star, with a blue eagle on it, of that famous order which rank with the black eagle o Prussia and with the English garter. 4he medal, however, is an upper servant s decoiation, and Russians laugh in their sleeves when they see foreigners-to whom it is given by dozens—wearing it as a mark of high distinction. “Why need it bo?” wo m»y. and sig^ , When loving mothers fivde and die.
