WALKERTON INDEPENDENT. WALKERTON, - - - INDIANA. ' THE WORLD OVER. INTELLIGENCE FROM EVERY LAND AND CLIME. The History of a Week Gathered from the Wires, KmbraeinK Political Doingm, Personal Movements, Accidents, Criminal Affairs, Labor Notes, Etc. THE HOUSE ADJOURNS, Because of the Death of Congressman Walker, of Missouri. Instead of taking up the tariff bill, as it wm expected the Senate would on the 21st, Senator Gray got up the bill to transfer the revenue marine service to the navy. The bill does not, as many suppose, put the revenue service directly into the navy or place its officers in the line of promotion to be admirals and commo<lores. It simply makes the service 11 distinct branch of the navy in the sense that the marine corps is a distinct branch. Revenue officers will still do duty on revenue ships ami not in war vessels, and vice versa. The only advantage the revenue officers will get is that it will give them naval rauK and pay and the right of retirement under present laws. Mr. Comstock, of Minnesota, introduced a bill into the House authorizing the Secretary of Agriculture to establish uniform grades for all kinds of grain bought, handled, transferred or shipped from one State or Territory of the United States to any other State or Territory, or from any place in the United States to any foreign country, which shall be known as “American grades," the Secretary to publish the same in bis reports and special bulletins. At 12:15, as a murk of respect to the memory of Mr. Walker, of Miss >uri, deceased, the House a ijourned. BASE-BALL. Relafve Positions of the Vartom Clubs in the Lc ad Ing Orga n t zat ions. Players.

Self-Defense Ills Offered Palliation of Ohio’s Sensational Murder on a Train. The climax of tho sensational murder of Engineer Vandevmder in his cab near Van Wert, Ohio, was reached when Fireman Roodhouse unburdened his mind and confessed to having inflicted tne fatal blows upon his companion. His story is that as soon us the train left Ohio City Yaudevandor turned toward him, with malignant hatred gleaming m his eye, and said: “ you, I will do you up now." His words were accompanied by a crushing blow upon the skull which blinded Roodhouse, and in a trice its counterpart leveled him to the floor. He then.says ho picked up the nearest weapon that came to hand, it chancing to be a heavy copper hammer, and with all the energy of despair he swung it twice down upon the head of his enemy, felling him to the floor of the cab in an insensible condition. DROUGHT IN NEW ENGLAND. Heavy Losses Entailed on Farmers from Lack of Rain. The damage in New England by tho present drought is now past recovery, says a Boston telegram. Some northern localities have been favored with showers during the past week, but most of the districts have been without rain sufficient m a growing season for weeks. Corn and tobacco on the low lands are still in fair conditions, I‘astures are drying up, rendering the early feeding of stock I necessary. 4 ’ihe Deadly Threshing Engine. An explosion of a threshing engine occurred on the farm of James Morrow, near Princeton, Ind. Andrew Kret-dugsr was killed outright, and Charles White has since died.

CURRENT HAPPENINGS. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. Ex-Keeper J ames J. Kenny, of the Ward’s Island Insane Asylum, New York City, is preparing for an assault upon I he asylum authorities for the purpose of liberating a dozen alleged insane patients, who, Mr. Kenny is confident, from a long acquaintance, are as sane as, and better citizens than, the physicians in charge of the institution. Oue of the most important of these cases is that of Junies Frain, at present an inmate of Ward 1. Frain has • been in ithe asylum for three years. He is a sailmaker by trade, thirty-five years old, and without any friends in the : ■countcry. Kenny says that Train is abso- I lutelv sane, and that he has been so for ■over two years. The White Star steamer Teutonic, ; which arrived at New York Wednesday of i lost week, made the passage from Queens- I - town in five days and thirteen hours, the ' best time on record. ; I An appeal has been taken to the Su- | > I pro me Court against the decision re- i ’ ! ceutly rendered by Judge Pennypaeker. 1 ■ of Philadelphia, holding that Sunday ; ; shaving is not a necessitv, and that bar- , ; tiers following their business on the i j Lord’s Day are liable to fine and impris- j 1 ■ onment.

Fire in the Western Union Telegraph j building. Now York, at an early Lour, and i as the operators begun to arrive to go to work, created n panic for a time. Young 1 women screamed and meu rushed pall- | mell down-stairs to escape the ttiimes, i which in less than two minntes had i spread almost o'er the ent ire distributing- I I room, burning up wires, instruments and . tables as if they were so much tinder. The ilistribnting-room on tbo fifth floor, the opvratiug-ioom on the floor above, the Associated Piess rooms, j and tho rest iiirant on the seventh floor were completely destroyed, j Had the fire broken out an hour later the I loss of lie might have been enormous. Fully 70 1 girls an t men are employed on two of the floo s. The loss to the Telegraph Company is large and it will require a long lime to re phi ■ • the m Hori ii. The laixe switchLomd m the operntiugi room alone cost $.50,0(10. The Assochited i Press low h instrument', typo-writers.

The fire caught upon the second floor of the building and is supposed to have been caused by spontaueons combustion. It soon spread to tho i upper floors, which were filled with agri- ! cultural implements, while on the fourth , j floor were 500 tons of binding twine, ■ which added fuel to the flames. Dr. A.

She says that her father removed i । a p-rt privately to a place in Illinois. | The Doctor’s friend says he has been secretly directing a search at the point lo- I cated by Mrs. Livingstone’s father.
