At the point indicated they had Stepped off the west to the east track to avoid • pMslng freight train, when the east-bound passenger train thundered arouad a curve •nd caught the party, crushing them to death. CHARLES A. MATHEWS, one of the fifty-seven children of the thirteen-wived . Isaac M. Singer, the late sewing-machine manufacturer, committed suicide In Philar ' delphia. He refused to bear his father's • ! name. Mr. Mathews was only 26 years old, and a refined gentleman. He was in posseB- gion of an independent fortune. He was very sensitive on the subject .of his parentage, and the slightest allusion to his father would fill him with mortification. For that reason he generally avoided society.... Arthur B. Johnson, a prominent lawyer of Utica, N. Y., was fonnd dead In his office * with a bullet in his breast. He had commit ted suicide Rachel Lay ton, colored, died at , Trehtou, N. J., aged 106 A safe in the oar- • . penter-shop of George Larkin, at Bridgeport, » ... Ct.,w&s blown open and robbed $(>,000. WHILE Alexander L.

In the "Peace Congress" of 1861 Mr. Randolph inaugurated the measure for the ^ 'relief of the families of soldiers. In the same year he was elected State Seuutor, and served until 1865. He served as United States Sen ator from 1874 to 1880. He has been the Pres ident of the Morris and Essex railroad since during the past week, at Lincoln, 111., b<«- fore Judge Lacy. Little has. been added to what was developed at the Coroner's iu- quest, the testimony elicited being about the same as that given before the Coroner While Mrs. Dukes was giving her testimony, the father of the murdered girl was observed standing beside the prisoner, and trembling violently. The Sheriff searched him, but found no weapons, and the old man declareJ that he had no thoughts of assassination. A brother of the murdered girl appeared on the scene, and swore that he had received a letter from Zora announcing that the object of her visit to Lincoln on the 14th of October was to have an operation performed on her throat. The defense summoned witnesses to impeach the character and veracity of Mrs. Rebecca J. Carpenter (110 relation to the accused), the woman who testified that she took Zora's letters from her trunk and read them, and detailed the contents of one to Carpenter at Lincoln, In which Zora urged him to come over to Decatur and have some fun. A num- Ix-r of the Carpenter woman's neighbors tes tified they would not believe her on oath. The prosecution offset this swearing by the testimony of an equal numberof the woman's neigiiltors that her reputation for veracity was good. There was some talk of lynching Carper,t.*r during the progress of the in- I vestigation, but they were only the utter* ! anccs of hot-headed and irresponsible parties. I)r. A. N. Miller, of Lincoln, went to St. Elmo, and, accomi anied by a Justice of the Peace, exhumed the body of Zora Burns. The brains, liver, kidneys and intes tines were removed and hermetically sealed In cans. They wete taken to Chicago, where the parts will be examined by a chemist at Rush Medical college. It is the Doctor's opin ion that O. A. Carpenter is guilty of the mur der. and he thinks the coming examination will substantiate the theory of abortion. THE south front of the south wing of the Wisconsin State house at Madison, the structure being In courfe of erection, fell upon the workmen, the roof following. The building was 70x120 feet in breadth and depth and seventy feet high. The noise of the col lapse was frightful, and the detonations fol lowed each other for fully half a minute. The ruins were filled with groans and cries for help. Four thousand people hurried into the park and beheld a terrifying spectacle. Three tottering walls partially surrounded the scene. Six workmen hung by tbe limbs in midair to dangling rafters, three of tbe victims being dead. Five men were killed, nearly all' being horribly mangled. Four oth ers were mortally hurt.

THE SOUTO THE election excitement at Danville, Va., culminated In a bloody riot, In which five negroes and one white man were killed and a number of whites and negroes hurt. A big meeting of citizens was in progress and reso lutions were jtassed denouncing Mahone. A negro who mixed In the crowd shoved a white bystander from the sidewalk. Both parties fell to blows, pistols were drawn, and firing began on both sides. Four of the negroes were killed and several wounded. A white youth, Walter Holland^ son of a promi nent tobacconist, was shot through the head and mortally wounded. The melee became general. The firing drew crowds to the scene, and the Mayor at once ordered out the mili tary to quell the fight. The negroes, how ever, ietired to the black quarter of the town before the soldiers arrived. The whole city was roused by the melee and the wildest ex citement prevailed. One company of militia at once c'eared the streets and something like order was restored. Later in the evening a platoon of soldiers was fired upon by the negroes umbuscedcd in a house, but without fatal effect. The house was surrounded and one negro captured. Tbe sol diers were fired upon by tbe ne groes In different parts of the city..... At New Orleans William Sykes murdered the keeper of a brothel, named Kate Townuend, by plunging a large dirk into her chest five times.

Ex-Speaker Keifer, says a Washington Scor- respondent, is said to be sounding the Repub licans as to the complimentary nomination for the Speakership. Under ordinary cir cumstances thg, nomination would go to the ex-Speaker as a matter of course; but some Republican leaders attribute the blunders of the late Congress in great measure to Keifer, and do not feel willing, by giving him the Speakership nomination, to seem to assume any responsibility. The persons mentioned as likely to be proposed Instead of Keifer are Kasson and Hiscock.

The whole State was literally under arms, and such was the explosive cimdltloii ot affairs that the slightest jar would hitve caused riots all over the State.

The result of the election. It Is understood, will cause ltlddlebergcr, Mahone's colleague, to act with the Democrats. He has been silent for several months past, and, while he put forth the plea of ill-health, it Is evident that he understood the meaning of the charges in the South wesj. Washington Opinion. [Washington Telegram to Chicago Inter Ocem.] The situation In Virginia has at racted much attention in political circles here, and the view ha9 been advocated by several prom inent Republicans here that, the best policy will be to reorganize the straight out Repub lican party in the State. It is not thought, however, that the President would favor such a course at this time. Who Struck Billy Mahone? William Long, a Petersburg tobacconist, •ays he is the person who hit Gen. Mahone in the fa^e during the scuffle at the polls ou election day. Long explains his action as fol lows: Being pressed by the crowd, he (Long) raised his hand to clear himself and get out, and as he did so some one struck him violent ly on the right hand, which caused it to strike Oen. Mahone lightly in the face, which he hopes did the General no serious injury. Long says he had no intention or desire to do Gen. Mahone personal injury. As to his (Mahone's) offer of 8100 to know the scoun drel or assassin who struck him, he (Long) is tbe responsible party, and hopes this state ment will l>c satisfactory.

The Pittsburgh CommercialSiazeUe tele graphed Gen. B. F. Butler for his views on the result in Massachusetts and asking for his programme for the future. The follow* ing characteristic reply was received: An answer to your question Is easy. Last year 1 had 134,000 votes. Tlie largest, vote ever polled was hi the Garfiel 1 election of 1880--Garlield, 105,000; Hancock, 112.000; total, 277,000. This year the vote is 313,000, of which I have 152,000. This enormous increase has been caused by the free- est use of money and by the fraud and corrup tion by my opponents. More vote* have oeen cast than will be in the next Presidential year. The R,000 or 'J.000 plurality of my opponent was more than lost in the city of Boston. Massachusetts is, therefore, surely Dem ocratic if I make another State canvass without better gain. When man has Increased the Democratic vote from 112,000 to 152,000 in three years, is there any need of an answer to your question ns to what my programme will be? I am pleased with the result, and had rather have my vote than to. be elected by 135,<HX). In that case it would then be said Massachusetts is a Republican State and that she has a large reserve vote, which in a Presidential election will come out. Now we have had them all out and measured them, and iuthe next 1'residential election, with a judicious platform and popular nomination, at l' ast we should keep all the Republican men and mon»>y at home to take care ot Butler, instead of send ing both into Ohio and Indiana to corrupt those States. BENJAMIN F. BUTLER. The Boston Herald states that Gov. Butler told a member of his Council that he should run for Governor next fall. The compliment of 150,000 votes leads him to think tbat he will be successful. In a 8tate election 1M never ean get o» again. But it he should wish to renew bis reputation aa a disturber of the peace In the popular branch of Congress, his vote Indicates that there are several districts where he could find an opportunity. We deem It probable that Gov. Butler never will make an attempt again to carry the Massaohusetta State-house by assault, but will apply himself hereafter, in combination with Mr. Wendell Phillips and other agitators, and very likely with his friend, our own John Kelly, to get up a new. National party on the "capital and labor'** Issue. (Springfield Republican. I • X People respond "not guilty " to the infi* nous charges of.Gov. Bntler. Let all the world take notice that MassaehuFetts has not had a loose, dishonest, extravagant, or cor rupt administration. Massachusetts is not yet given over to the domination of Ignorant, foreign-born or foreign-fathered. Massachu setts cannot be permanently held in control by any party which makes clap-trap appeals to ignorance, prejudice and stupidity. The attempts to excite feeling atiainst the Repub licans as the party of aristocracy, blue blood and capital have inl.»erubly failed. [Boston Journal.J What Appomattox was to the Confederacy the election of yesterday wa« to Butler aud Butlerism. Both the man and the thing have been annihilated. For such a result decent people, not only of Massachusetts, but of both parties throughout the country, should be profoundly thankful, because the one man in this country who could rally about him the ignorant and vicious elements has been cast down for the last time. [Boston Herald ] This finishes Butler. Massachusetts has spoken in earnest and with a full voice: "Never more be olHcer of mine." It is true he has not been nble to permanently injure Massachusetts, for his power Is limited and her institutions are strong. The. disgrace was in electing him. The State will survive and look back with shame upon this wild Butler frolic when Butler is dust. [Boston Post.] Gov. Butler is defeated with a year's record behind him and his choice of campaign meth ods. He cannot accuse his committee and other workers of bad management. He has assumed the part of absolutism with respect to the manner in which his campaign should be conducted, and his assumption has not been challenged. Butler has been Command er-in-Chief and Supreme Executive Magis trate in his own behalf from the time ho was inaugurated Governor till his defeat on Tuesday, and he alone is responsible for his failure to obtain a re-election. _ (Boston Advertiser.J • Butlerism is dead and buried. Let It not he exhumed: [New York Sun.] ' , Gov. Butler has gone. The sweet singer of Chicopee proved too much for him, and an interesting and humorous flguro is thus with drawn from the boards. The defcq£ of Butler might have been predicted," for he had made himself very disagreeable, as men who tell the truth often do. But the forces which made him successful for one year in a State that had been in the fore-front of Republican ism do not die with him, if eo irrepressible a personage can be said to die politically. We shall live to see the State Democratic, but not Butlerite. OPINIONS AND COMMENTS. the Newspapers on the Result. [New York Tribune.] The result makes Republican success pos sible in the next Presidential contest. If New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania had all followed Ohio in going Democratic this year, few would have been hopeful enough to believe that so overwhelming a current could have been turned buck in a single year. Now, everybody can see that fighting ground is left; that the Republicans can fairly hope by gcod conduct and good fortune to carry every State they had in 1H80; aud that, as against a party so prone to blunder and with so many chances to blunder as the Democrats, their prospect for carrying enough of them is more than fair. [New York Herald.] Although the result throughout this State was practically a revolution--for a Demo cratic majority reduced from 190,000 to 20,000 or thereabouts implies an over whelming change--yet the Republicans can hardly congratulate themselves upon all their vote as legitimate gain for their party. They must not count it without consideration of their friend John Kelly. There is no doubt that a large part of the vote cast for Re- ntibllcnn candidates represents the treason of Tammany hall to the Democratic candidates. New York passes into the category of doubtful States in the Presi- (leiitlnl election of 1884. and the managers of (he democratic party have nobody but them- g.>lvc* to blauic for it. [Now York World.] The result reaches further and rises higher than a more victory of Democrats over Re- publlcnns. It means 1884. It means a change at Washington. It means that the people aro tired of the ruling party. It means the vin dication of popular self-government. All at tempts to divert attention from the fact that yesterday's contest was the decisive skirmish In the Presidential battle failed. One marked feature of the Democratic victory in New York is the evidence itarordsof the total fail ure of the Republican attempt to hoodwink the people on the tariff issue. The effort to drair the tariff into the cunvass was abortive here, as In Ohio. Six months ago the Republicans were Jubilant over the thought that they had tixed the issue on the Democracy, and that their opponents were on the wrong side of the question. The election in New York shows plainly that the drift of the tide is with the Democracy. In Ohio the Republicans de clared that the liquor interests contributed to their defeat. In this State the liquor in terests were In their favor, and did their best to defeat the Democratic State ticket. [New York Morning Journal.] New York still retains her place in the col umn of Democratic States, although, of course, by a majority far below the phe nomenal one which carried Mr. Cleveland into the Governor's chair a year ago. While Republicans have made enormous gains all over the State as compared with the result a year ago, the Democrats have done as well as if not better than they expected. Twenty thousand majority is not very large, but it is enough. [St. Louis Globe-Democrat.] A sudden change has come over tbe politi cal prospect of the country within the last twenty-four hours. Where therj were doubts and ominous shakings of the head as to the future there is now cheerful contidence. The freaks of the elections of last year stand forth in their true light. There was no per manent strength in the ebullition which made Butler Governor of Massachusetts and gave Cleveland the astounding majority of 200,000 in New York. These were not evi dences that the people were ready for the change which would place tlie country under a Democratic administration, lhey signified merely a dissatisfaction with the methods adopted by certain Republican managers. BRAVE KATE SHELLY. THE GREAT WEST*1 lowrab Mbx of On PrtMnt Econaafe Condition of This Region. & Picture of Agricultural Prosperity Uaequaled Elsewhere in tlAr world. (From the Chicago Dally News.] In 1881 an Iowa young woman named Kate Shelly performed an act of bravery involving so much of self-socrlflcc that it at once ele vated her from the commonplace to the heroic grade. Near her house, and visible from her window, was a railway bridge. It was night--and such a night! Tlie wind blew fiercely, and it rained heavily. Above the noise of the elements she beard the rumble of an approaching train, an^l' looked out only to see it crash through the bridge. She was alone. The stream crossed by the btoken bridge was swollen. Yet she managed to reach it, and, In answer to her calls, one voice, that of the sole survivor of the accident, was heard by her through the darkness imploring her to stop the express train that would be due at the bridge shortly. She mad'? her way home, procured a lantern, and set, off to reach the nearest station, to get to which she had to erof-s a high treilts-work bridge. Arrived at this bridge, her light went out. Weary as she was --foot-ore, torn by brambles, drenched and halt'-blindcd by the driving storm--she yet succeeded in crawling from tie to tie across th<! trestle. Then she made her way to the station, told her feurful story, and then, like a true woman, Fhe l'uinted. It was 110 mas culine miss who hud doiu» all this, but a woman of the gentle kind, whose overstrung nerves gave way as soon as the powerful strain on them was removed. Just a* she fainted the express thundered into the sta tion, and its passengers were saved from a horrible death. • Iowa did well to award the heroic girl, by an act of the Legislature, a special gold medal that shall forever remind her of a people's gratitude. It was presented to her last week by a committee of tbe Legislature. Such is Kate Shelly's story. It Is the story of a brave girl, the record of a heroic deed. [From the Chicago Tribune.] Noting the anxiety with which financial rtgns and portents have been considered by the people everywhere, of late, the Tribune has called upon its correspondents to furnish simultaneously a candid statement of the condition of trade and manufactures in their leveral localities. The reporters whose re plies are here collated are in nearly all cases centrally situated in their counties, where the people coming to court and to pay their taxes have given their opinions as to the good or bad aspects of the times. Three things become at once apparent in casual scanning of the dispatches: 1. Two or three of the great crops have proven disappointing. 2. An enormous amount of money has been sent out West, which accounts for the wonderful development of Dakota and that region. 3. The great farming class within the wide compass of this Inquiry is wealthy beyond common belief. Just now the farmers have been touched by fears of need In consequence of short crops In fields here and there, and have restricted communications with the distributors, and made close times for the non-producers. But, even with the thrift and caution of the farm ers, we see the manufactories in full blast, and the reader will probably be astonished with the array and the diversity of industries which he may have believed flourished only at the intersection of scores of trunk lines. One of the States, Wisconsin, it would teem, has never seen flusher times than now. The complaints are loudest In Iowa and Mich igan. For the convenience of the reader, pains have been taken to tabulate the answers which accompanied these general reports. By this means it is seen that two-thirds of the farmers will not sell at the present prices, which a'oue leaves a large amount of actual wealth in their hands. With all this food- treasure, the table3 will make plain that the farmers have little need of extra money. In two-thirds of 4he towns trade Is good. No more than the usual trouble, on the average, is realized in collecting, and the merchants are in no sense overstocked with goods. The manufactories are practically all running on full time at a good profit. Less than 10 per cent, of the whole population labor under discouraging conditions. Eighty per cent, of the correspondents answer the concluding question of the circular with the word "Hope ful." The following circular was addressed to the correspondents; In crder to furnish ns with Information as to the condition of business In your vicinity, will yon obtain for us answers to the following questions: Are present prices satisfactory to farmers? What, proportion of their products remains in their hands? Are farmers borrowing more than usual from banks to carry their stuff?

"IfeO" mystery surrounding «he< ance of Mary Churohill has at length solved by the discovery and complete identity cation of the missing girl in Indianapolis. The- circumstances of the girl's disappearance arey. briefly, as follows: On the evening of Aug.. 19 last Mr. and Mrs. James O. Churchill re turned from a drive to their home at 2737 Morgan street, St. Louis, to discover their daughter Mary missing. A careful seaaob revealed the fact that she had taken only thiBV, clothing worn at the time, and no money- other than the few dollars her purse con tained. Detectives were immediately em ployed. Circulars were sent to all police head quarters and detective agencies in the land. Dramatic agencies were notified and the minutest search made for the missing girl in every city in the country. Churchill waa a. wealthy merchant and spared no expense to discover the whereabouts of his child, hut to- no purpose. She was but 16 years o'd, had been reared in luxury, and there was no rea son which could suggest itself to the mind*, of her friends why she should have left her home, and the gravest apprehengions were- entertained for her safety. It was reported that tile girl had been found murdered in New Mexico, and a detective was dispatched to- the scene of the tragedy only to find that the- victim was not the missing girl. Similar re ports were run down with like results in allt parts of the country. One day, not long ago* Col. Churchill received a letter from his daughter dated at Indianapolis, indicating that she was at the time in that city and In good hands, but would Immediately leave». and that search for her would be useless. De tectives were immediately sent to Indianapo lis. The attention of Superintendent Fletcher, of the State Hospital for the Insane, was at tracted to a description of the missing girli In a city paper, and he was struck with the remarkable closeness with which it answered, the appearance of a domestic at the asylum. The girl came to the asylum about the 1st, of September and asked for employment. She was told that there was none to be had for her about the hospital, at which she burst into tears, and evidenced the bitterest di^ap- pointment. Superintendent Fletcher was so- taken with the girl's appearance and actions that he made a place for her in the ironing department of the hospital where she has since been employed. When she presented, herself at the hospital she had with her a. copy of the life of Marie Antoinette, and pur sued such a course of reading, preferring classical works, books on Grecian mythology and the like, that the Superintendent woe convinced from the first that there was a history connected with the girl and has al lowed her every privilege. She gave her name as Jennie Lockwood. When permitted to practice at the piano she played the most difficult classical music, and her conduct in every particular was such as to strengthen the suspicion of the Super- tendent that Jennie Lockwood, the ironing-, girl, was the possessor of a superior educa tion and the petted child of wealthy parents. The description of Mary Churchill falling under his observation, he at once noticed the similarity, and, without approaching thq girl on the subject, notified the police. Thomas J. Gallager, of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, then called at the asylum and Identified the girl fully, and with her consent her parents were notified. Col. Churchill went to Indianapolis and met his daughter at tbe Spencer house, the meeting being a most affecting one. Strange to say, the young lady positively refused to return to her home for permanent resldenoe, but left in company with her father to pay a brief visit to her mother. Her last words in- leaving the city were to Dr. Fletcher, whom •he adjured to keep her place for her, for she would return. She assigned no reasons for her actions, but says she can earn her own- living, and proposes to do so. BURIED ALIVE. The Terrible Discovery Made at Steuben- vllle, Ohio,-- A Young Lady's Horrible Fate. A dispatch from Steubenvflle, Ohio, says: Recently the Catholic burial-ground in this city, not being large enough for its purpose, was abandoned. New grounds were pur chased, and interments are now made In the latter, west of the city. Yesterday Fathers Hartnedy and Hartley, the pastors of the church here, with others, went to the old cemetery for the purpose of re moving the body of one Father Duffy, who had been buried about eight een years. One of the party had been a pall-bearer of the deceased. He thought he knew the right grave, and said the remains were in a metallic casket. When the grave was opened a metallic casket was found rusty with age, but upon opening it the remains brought to view were not those of a male person, but of a young lady. The body was not identified by anyone present, but was shown to be in a remarkable state of prefer- vation, although, no doubt is entertained ol its having been there for years. The eyes of the corpse were open and were of a bluish color, while the' hair was light brown and curling. The shroud exhibited evidence of time's ravages, hanging in shreds. But the most remarkable discovery was the posi tion of the right arm of the sleeper, which, instead of lying folded across the breast 01 falling at the side, was drawn around the neck, the palm nearly touching the left side of the face. The conclusion formed by those present was that she bad been burled alive, having been iu a trance at the time of her in terment. No one present knew who she was. Father Hartnedy, in a card this evening, sayf he knows nothing of the horrible discovery which was so freely talked about on the streets this morning. A MISSOURI TRAGEDY* Murder of m Prominent Young at » Dance. [Kansas City Telegram.] - A horrible murder took place at Lamar, Barton county. Mo., during a dance at the residence of a well-known farmer. Among those present were Anthony Bummlts and Alex Brown, both well-known young men. During the evening a dispute arose among the young mea as to the right of dancing witb a certain young lady, and later a second dis pute as to the right way of calling off the luncers. Finally the men came together, and, during the struggle, young Brown drew a pocket-knife and cut his adversa ry's throat, severing his juglar vein. Bummlts staggered about among tbe dancers, and at last fell out of the front door of the house a corpse. The affair cre ated the wildest excitement, several ladies fainting as Bummits ran from the ball-room- covered with blood. Brown sunendered tc the authorities at an early hour this morning, and is locked up. The young lady about whom the trouble began accompanied the . dead body of her lover to his father's home, where she was to have been taken a bride iu a few weeks. Young Brown is a son of Hon. Thomas Brown, ex-member of Congress, ami. all the parties to the affair are well kn98tn. . PERSONAL.
