WALKERTON INDEPENDENT. WALKERTON, _ - - INDIANA. PLUNGED TO DEATH. FEARFUL DISASTER ON THE CANADIAN PACIFIC. Father Knickerbocker Threatened with Famine—Federal Troops to Quell the : Strikes —Big Gorilla Grubs a Small Boy —Prospect of Anti-Option. Five Persons Killed In a Wreck. The Halifax express leaving Mon- ; treat at 8 o’clock Sunday evening on the Canadian Pacific was wrecked at j the bridge over the west outlet of a small stream near Greenville, Me. I Five persons were killed and eight injured, some fatally. The dead: 1* red Foss, Canadian Pacific Station assistant at Greenville; G. C. Hoyt, passenger, | Fort Fairfield. Me.; Fred Levitt, engi- ' reer, Megantic, Me.; Walter Starkey, mail clerk, St. Johns, N. B.; unknown. 1 second-class passenger, still under the wreck. The passenger train on the Florence and ('ripple Creek bound south left the track a short distance from Cripple Creek, Colo. W. G. Milner, of Denver. wa* killed. Several ether persons were hurt. In nn Ap.s’g Arinm As the side show of the Hall Circus was being opened t > the public at Butlerville, Ind., Ko-Ko-Mongo, the big gorilla, sprang against its cage l door, pushed it open, grabbed a small boy, who was looking on, open-mouthed, and in an instant escaped from the tent with his victim. A big crowd was soon in pursuit with guns, club C and dogs. Ko-Ko-Mongo was overtaken just at the edge of town, but his pursuers did not dare fire upon him for fear of killing the small boy, whojn he clasped affectionately to his bosom. Two big dogs were set upon the gorilla. One he killed with cheerful alacrity; the ether made a l>ee line for town, with his tail be- . tween his legs. All this time the small boy was lustily screaming for 1 help. Fina ly on? of Ko-Ko Mongo‘s keepers succeeded in getting .hold of his chain.while another with true cowboy skill landed a lasso over his neck. Soon the big ape was overpowered and safely lodged in his cage. Aside from a few scratches,the boy was uninjured. Ant -Option Is Bost. A Washinnton dispatch says that the general impression about the Senate seems to be that the anfi-option bill, which passed the House not long ago, will not receive any consideration at this session of Congress In that body. Senator Washburn, of Minnesota, who made the fight and secured the pa-sage of the bill in the Senate in the last Congress, says he realizes that the long time which has elapsed before any of the appropriation bi Is have been m tuken up will mem that all the time of th© Senate from now until adjournment will be occupied with appropriations, and that it will be almost impossible to get sufficient time to consider the anti option bill, although if any opportunity should present itself he will be ready to call it up. The bill will probably take the sam ? course in the Senate as before, and will be first considered by the Judiciary Committee and as erward by the Committee on Agriculture before being reported to the Senate. Debs Has a Grip on Gotham. THERE will be a fresh meat famine in New York, unless some .of the big trunk lines disentangle their Western connections from the railroad strike. Monday the price of fresh meat took a big jump of from two to four cents a pound by the carcass. The supply of fresh meat and the supply of Western cattle on the hoof have been gradually diminishing for a week. There was mt an abundant supply when the troubles of the ra Iroad companies began, so that the prices Lad already begun to advance when the strike reached the Western trunk lit es. It wa; said Mtnday there wa : a sufficient supply of meat, killed and unkilled, to last until the end of the week. There is extraordinary demand for eggs, the price of which has advanced Shippers and receivers were informed that the order had gone out from the New York agents of the tiunk lines to take no more perishable freight for Western points except at shipper's risk. Is It Rebellion? A DISPATCH Tuesday morning from Washington says that the Government will temporarily take charge of the transportation problem, and any int >rruption hereafter will be revolution against federal authority. A Cabinet meeting discussed the matter; fear was expressed that the movement will result in bloodshed and destruction of property, if not open rebellion. Hence it was determined to employ Federal troops in its suppression. The latest development, Tuesday morning, was the strike of the Northwestern road's engineers and firemen, and a complete tie-up of freight traffic at Cincinnati and Detroit. NEWS NUGGETS.

At Fall River, Mass., customhouse । inspectors have seized $375. wirth of gin. rum, and contraband m dicines i which wore shipped in bales of hay : from St. Thomas ^. an. It has been i known for s me time that certain Can- ; adian business men in Fall River wore j growing rich by smuggling, but it was next to impossible to catch them, so cleverly was the work done. The I seized goods were sent subject to ship ' per's orders and consigned to one Dorean. Three men broke into the general i store owned by John Howard, two miles from Parkers, Fa. Howard was aa’eop and they bound and gagged him and made a thorough search of the i premises. Finding no money they ori tiered Howard to tell where it was" and ‘ he ro’u o1 to answer.

While at work three i men wore killed by a falling wall, and five injured so badly that they may n d recover. One man is missing and believed to be dead. The great anthracite coal true* has decided < n another squeeze of the j e<>ple. The coal sal -s agents had a row among themselves at the New York meeting Th re lay. but it leak-; out now that they decided to increase prices 15 tents a ton on and after July 1. and the production for that month is to I o 350,000 tons. This make; the total increase in coal prices ^in<o May 1 40 cents a i ton on stove an i dome-tic sizes It i brings into the pocket# of the great j coal combine 25 cents a ton net for the j month of June on 4,000,000 tons mined ' and sold. or $1,000.00* above i what would have K>en th<- ca«o had May prices I eon retain d. It «il make at least 3o cents u ten q. t above May prices on 3,000,1 k o tons during July, or SN( 0,000 more.

The police visited the lodgings of a man named Granier in Montpelier, France, to ascertain his connect! n. if : any, with the murder of President < Carnot. It is alleged that about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon Granier was heard to say: “By this . time Carnot must have received his account.” When the police arrived at Granier'- lodgings they ordered him to surrender. With a quick move- ! men! Gra ier, without uttering a word, i seized a large knife which was lying l upon a table and plunged it into his I abdomen, falling dea l at the feet of I the police.

The scene was a very briil--1 innt one. The election took place in the great hall or theater of the palace j which has witnessed so many mem liable events in the history of France un- . j der the republic, the Napoleons- and । j the Bourbons. Here it was that on

Jan. 18, 1871, King William of s a, whose armies held Paris, was proclaimed German Emperor. After the congress was called to order, at least five minutes elai eed before there was sufficient quiet to enable the pre-iding officer to be heard. When the assembly became orderly M. Challemel-Lacour announced the tragic death of M. Carnot. Scarcely had the President ceased speaking when M. Michelin, socialist, sprang to his feet and shouted: 1 demand the suppression of the presidency of the republic.” A tumultuous scene ensued, the uproar being so I great that the President could not | make himself heard.
