IMPORTANT' HAPPENINGS IN EVERY QUARTER OF THE GLOBE, The Latest Intelligence Received by Wire . from Distant Lanas and at Home—The Creasn of the News Gathered from All Quarters of the World. : PASSED THE SENATE. Chicago’s World’s Fair Bill Goss Through by a Vote of 45 to 13. THE world’s fair bill was passed by the Senate on the 21st inst, after six long and weary hours of debate, by & vote of 43 to 13. The plan of the Washington people for a celebration there upen the 14th of October, 1892, or about that time, which was added to the House bill by the Senate Committee, was voted down. The idea of a naval review in New York harbor in April, 1893, to which the nations of the world will be invited to send their fleets, was retained. Next session measures will be taken to have a.pgropria.te dedicatory ceremonies, in whic the royal families of Italy and Spain and the Presidents of all the American republics wlil be invited to participate. There will be no objection to this plan;in Tact, the Chicago people will co-operate to secure the passage of the bill if the affair will not interfere with the success of the exposition. There was a good degl of opposition to the bill in the way cf talk, but when the vote was taken the nays were very few, and even less than were expected. This was due to the fact that only about two-thirds of the Senators were preseut. There was very little debats upon the Chicago plan. Most of the talking against the bill was by men who do not want any fair held, and Senator Vest of Missouri, who placed himsel! at the head of this faction, bas said all along that he shail vote against an €xposition bill, no matter what location was selected. The opposition to the Washington celebration was active and included nearly all of the prominer Senators. The bill that came from the House . ceived very little critici-m and was heartily approved by all who want a fair, In fact, no changes were made in it except to add the provision for a naval review at New York. In the House a bill was passed amending the act autherizing the construction of a high wagon bridge across the Missouri River at Sioux City, Iowa; a bill was passed providing that soldiers who lost their linbs during the war sball be entitled to receive an artificial limb every three years. (The present law permits them to re«<elve one cvery five years.) The House spent the afterncon in enusideration of the conference report on th: Oklabhoma bill and adopted it with slight amendments. The bill to pension Union soldiers confined in Confederate prisons at the rate of 22 per day for the time of imprisonment came up, and an attempt was made 1o pass it under a suspension of the rules. The vote stood : Yeas, 142; nays, 75, This was not a two-thirds vote and it failed to pass. The House then adjourned. | A PLAGUE-STRICKEN VILLAGE.‘ Nine-Tenths of the Population of Vining‘,} Minn., Afflicted with Diphtheria. ManieNaANT diphtheria is epidemic in the village of Vining, in Otter Tail - County, Minnesota, having a population of only about 1350 persons, nine-tenths of whom are afflicted with the disease. There have been twenty deaths since April 1 and thirty altogether, Instead of adopting measures to check the contagion the people, mostly Scandinavians, are seemingly doing everything possible to spread it. The funerals of all the victims have been public and largely attended. The State DBoard of Health has been notified, but as yet no steps have been taken by it to quarantine the village or assist the sick villagers.

At Bayou Sara the situation is critical. There the river continues to rise, and a breaking of the | levees appears to be inevitable. l ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY feet of the { levee at Nita crevasse, St. James Pari ish, Louisiana, has been carried away. The Mississippi Valley tracks, several l miles away, are five inches under water, and the railroad people have set to work | to build a new incline five miles south of the crevasse. THE upper portion of Geneva County, ’ Alabama, has been visited by a destruc- | tive tornando. Houses, barns and fences were torn to pieces. The country is thinly populated. No towns were struck.

————————————————————————— e—— RANDALL'S OBSEQUIES. IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES OVER THE DEAD STATESMAN, One of the Most Distinguished Assemsbiages Ever Gathered at Washington Listens to a Touching Sermon by Rev. Dr. Chester—The Interment at Laurel Hill, Philadelphia. Washington dispatch: The funeral of the late Samuel J. Randall took place Thursday (17th inst.) at the Metropolitan Presbyterian chureh, Dr. Chester, pastor, officiating. Previous to the funeral the body lay in state in the church. und hundreds visited the place to look for the last time on the face of the dead statesman. There was an immense attendance at the funeral, the assemblage being perhaps one of the most distinguished ever gathered here. The President, members of the Cabinet, Senators, Congressmen, and men eminent in every rang of life were present. The ceremonies were simple but extremely impressive. The honorary pall-bearers were George | W. Childs, A. J. Drexel, Alex K MecClure, John Wanamaker, William Mec- | Mullen, Charles A. Dana, ex-Gov. An|drew G. Curtin. Senator Gorman, ex- | Congressman William H. Sowden. Congressman Blount, Senator Barbour and | Dallas Sanders. | The IHouse, after reading the journal, | adjourned in respect to the memory of | Mr. Randall. Just before noon the remains were | taken to the Pennsylvania railroad de- | pot to be conveyed to Philadelphia for {interment. ; In his sermon the Rev. Dr. Chester | said: *“ln this solemn hour, in tnis honse of God, now gather the represent- ' atives of a great nation around the | | earthly remains of one of its most hon- | ored citizens. Here men of different ) political faiths, of various religious | creeds, unite in a tribute of respect to ! | one whom the nation delighted to honor. | “But it is not to his public career that ' | our thoughts are turned in this solemn hour. For it was a wish expressed by 2 Mr. Randall that his funeral sorvicosi | should be deveoid of all earthly pomp; | that they should be held in the sanc- | | tuary, where the heart in-; | stinctively bends in reveren- | tial adoration before its God: that the | hies rocognition of himself should be | hia testimony to the grace of Jesus | Cheist as the Blessed Savior. The ex- | | e ; : “ | pression of such a desire affords one of ! the eulogies on his character. It re- | | veals the honest simplicity of his nature. | It fitly crowns a life of service to man | by a death of testimony to the grace of ; “(“. : “To the egreat men gathered here to- ; | day comes that voice whose utterances | carried such weight in our legislative | | halls, the magic of whose influence was | | felt by a whole nation, and it speaks | not of itsclf. but of tha grace | and comfort which comes to a soul ‘ | through the crucified One of Calvary. | | *He though dead, yet speaketh,” re- | | minds us of the faithful saying, and a worthy of all acceptation by the greatest | ruler and the humblest subject, by the | most cultured intellect and the humblest ‘ mind, a saying worthy of all acceptation, that ‘Christ Jesus came into the world | | to save sinners.” 1t was the apprecia- | | tion of this simple yet grazd proposition ’ which gave Mr. Randall such comfort when he faced the most trying of ordeals —the passage of a soul to the presence } _ ! of its God.” ) { A train from Washington bearing ‘ jthe remains arrived at Philadelphia | ;i:xL 2:30 o'clock, stopping at Ridge 1 avenue station, near Laurel Hill ceme;tvrv. The Samuel J. Randall associa- . | tion, Meade Post,G. A. R, and the James Page Literary association were in | waiting and the body was escorted to the Randall vault, which already ('on-l tains the bodies of the father, mother, | and brother of the dead Congressman, { Simple funeral services at the vault ‘ i were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Henry 3C. McCook and the Rev. Dr. Chester, | pastor of Mr. Randall’s church in Washi ington, and they were assisted by other clergymen. , A quartet of members of the Meade post sang **Nearer, My God to Thee” as | part of the exercises. A special train I | from the city brought thousands to the ! " | cemetery who watched with silent res- ‘ | pect and many tokens of sorrow the | ' | final scene at the dead Congressman’s | . resting place. i | LINCOLN'S SLAYER. | 1 Sty i ) i Queer Story of a Mysterious Passenger Told ' by a Quebec Auctioneer. | L Detroit (Mich.) dispatch: Thomas | | Casey, a Quebec auctioneer, was in De- : : troit the other day and told the following (Story: In June, 1865, the schooner l 1 l Emma was loaded with oil at Montreal for Nassau. Among her cargo were i | seven large trunks consigned to “J. W. | 8.. Nassau. to be .eslled for? The schooner was caught in a storm and wrecked. She was picked up by some Quebec sailors and the wreckage put into the Court of Admiralty, where it was ordered sold. Mr. Casey was tne l auctioneer. | When the seven trunks were bronght | to him he opened them and found them filled with theatrical wardrobes of all descriptions, jeweled daggers, rich vel- { vet suits, manuscripts of plays, and a ;thodsand and one little essentials for { producing Shakspere’s plays. Mr. Casey sold the goods by the order of the court. ] ,‘rva‘.izing something like £3OO. The | 'lmonoy remained in the hands of the! court, and no steps were taken to find | ; ' J. Wilkes Booth, the owner, or the relatives of the owner, who was at that time | | supposed to have been lost in the ! schooner. ] Mr. Casey investigated the case after : ‘ part of the goods had been sold, but was ~ | unable to find any trace of the missing , i owner, He did not know the Booths, i and, aside from the fact that the cos- | tumes all bore the initials “J. W. B.” knew notning of J. Wilkes Booth. Part of the goods he kept as there was no sale for them. He has now learned enough of J. Wilkes Booth and his action in 1865 to assure himeself that the ! seven trunks found on the derelict were ' none other than those of Edwin Booth's brother, x Newsy Paragraphs. : J.
