A St. Louis (Mo.) dispatch says: George dark, President of the St. Louis Typo- -gnphical Union, died here on Friday of ntteramonia and brain fever. He was born ia Sootland, March 12, 1837. He served Ills apprenticeship in this country and fin- v ished his trade in Chicago. He was always • leader in organizing printers' unions, "Was dine times President of the Interna- fioMl Typographical Union, and was prob­ ably the most widely known working printer in the country. The Missouri deie- frtten in Congress supported him for Pub- lie Printer to succeed tne late Mr. Bounds.

WEST. v OltATOIfi GARFIELD died at the Garfield homestead at Mentor, Ohio, on the 21st of January. Eliza Ballou Garfield was born Sept. 25,1802, nt the foot of Mount Monad- nock, New Hampshire, and married Abram Garfield, of Watertown, Mass., in 1827, coming to Orange, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, in 1834, when her eldest child, Thomas Garfield, now of Grand Bapids, Mich., Was six years of age. She was' a woman of strong sense and spirit, and had a sin­ gular capacity for managing and educating children. Abraham Garfield died when Tom, the eldest Jpoy, was 10 years old, leaving the widow With four children and a cabin in the woods. Her care and energy produced one of America's greatest eublic men and carried the familv i respectable poverty to the point where it could make its own way. James A. Garfield was her pride and joy, and she has aged very rapidly from the day that Guiteau's bullet struck him down. Not until Dec. 1 last, however, was she compelled to tnke to her bed. F or it masked bandits made a raid on the Citizens' Bank, of Limestone, Indian Territory, in broad daylight, murdered the cashier, robbed the bank of $2,300, re­ mounted their horses, and fled. A run­ ning fight with citizens followed, in which two of the latter were wounded, and one of the brigands was slain. The remaining outlaws were finally captured, and one of them hanged to a tree, while the other two were turned over to the United States Mar­ shal. ONE hundred clerks, operators, train and section men between St. Louis and Toledo have been discharged, and two passenger trains dropped, by the Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City Bailroad Company, to re­ duce operating expenses.

Pillsbury of Bockport, Maine, Captain Wall master, arrived here to-day, nineteen days out, af­ ter having passed through several se­ vere gales. January 17 the gale was so very heavy that all hands feared the ves­ sel would founder. Captain Wall, as a last resort, took four large meal-bags and, filling them with oakum soaked in oil, fastened them over the stern and 6ides of the schooner. The effect was instantane­ ous. The waves would roll up against the vessel's side, but the oil prevented them from breaking, and the storm was ridden out in safety. Only four gallons were used. The Captain says the vessel and lives of all the crew ware saved by the use of oil.* WASHINGTON.

Brooks, alias W. L. Maxwell, convicted at St. Louis of murdering C. Arthur Preller in that city in April, 1885. The opinion was read by Chief Justice Waite. The case involved in the decision is the famouB "trunk mystery" case. Preller's body was found in the Southern Hotel, cut up and packed in a trunk. Brooks, an English­ man, a fellow-count!yman of Preller and his traveling companion, had disap­ peared. He was pursued, arrested in Aus­ tralia, and brought back to St. Louis. He was tried on a charge of killing Preller for the purpose of robbery, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. His defense wau that he was treating Preller for an acute disease, and that Preller died white under the influence of cbloroform. An appeal Was taken through the State courts to the United States Supreme Court on the ques­ tion of the constitutionality of the State law of Missouri. The Atlornev General moved for the dismissal of the writ of error on tbe ground that the Supreme Court was without jurisdiction.

THE Befmbltcans of the District of Columbia met in convention at Washing-, ton on Tuesday to choose delegates to the' National Convention. What followed is thus told by the Associated Press agent: Moat of th« delegates wars ^egroos. In less , than half an hoar the eoavtation was littia • mora than a howling mob, and th« rival factions wate struggling n«ra«ly for possession of the stage. Frederick Douglass, during a brief loll, made a short speech, counseling order and har­ mony, bat he had no sosuer finished than bed­ lam broke loose again. Quarreling, wrangling, and shouting continued until about 9 o'clock, at which time the convention was no nearer or­ ganization than when it assembled. The police, who had been passive spectators of the disor­ derly proceedings, then took possession of the stage and cleared the hall. Half an hoar later all persons who could show credentials as delegates wero readmitted one by one and the convention resumed its ncisioi*. of the delegate* who belonged to what Is known u the Chase faction finally succeeded In getting partial control of the con­ vention, and elected delegates. Their Chair­ man thereupon declared tho convention ad­ journed. The Carson faction then took posses­ sion of the hall, and eleoted another set of del­ egates, known to be favorable to Sherman.

HENBT W. SEYMOTTB. of Sault Ste. Ma­ rie, was nominated for Congress by the Republican Convention of the Eleventh Michigan District, at Ishpeming, on the 116th ballot. The Democratic Convention convened at Marquette, and after a sbort session nominated Bartley Breen, of Me­ nominee, for member of Congress. Breen had already received the Labor party's nomination. The Prohibitionists met in oonvention at Ishpeming and nominated S. S. Steele, of Schoolcraft County, as their candidate for Congress from the Eleventh District. OF the delegates selected by the Louisi­ ana Republicans to represent the State in the National Convention, six are for Blaine, four for Sherman, and one for lievi P. Morton. All the others aver that they are wedded to no choice.

Several persons were injured, among them a member of the Municipal Council, who received tbreo cuts on the head from a policeman's baton. Among the persons injured by the batons of the police were women and boys. One boy died from the effects of the dubbing he received.

C.) special says: "An explosion occurred in No. 5 pit of the Wel­ lington Collieries by which upward of fifty lives were lost. A temporary cage was made and lowered, the miners climbing to it by means of ladders, so that at 1 o'clock 103 of the 160 men in tbe mine had been rescued. One white, Robert Williams, was taken out dead. The explosion took place in the last level, and in this twenty-five white miners and a number of Chinese were em­ ployed. Fears that they were all killed were verified later, for at 5 o'clock all the white men were carried to the surface dead, and the work of taking out tbe Chinese was begun. THE yearly report of Receiver McNulta, of the Wabash Railroad, shows receipts of $9,406,584, disbursements of $9,072,555, and a balance of $334,02J. THE British Columbia mining disaster proves to have been of greater magnitude than the first reports indicated. A tele­ gram from Victoria says: The total loss by the colliery explosion was thirty-one white in< n and forty-one Chinamen, being all the miners who were in the east slope when the accident occurred. The work of bringing tne bodies to tho burface was hegun yesterday afternoon. All of them were blackened biyond rec­ ognition and thi only means of identifying them is by the location of the bodies when found. Th-j resistless force of the explosion is proved b^ the manner in which eight-inch pipes w»re snapped in two and heavy timbers re>.lucca to splinters, while om iron enge was blown completely cut of the shaft. One lieltcian miner was completely stripped of his clothes, and the bodies of the others were terribly mu­ tilated. " MARKET REPORTS. NEW YORK.

T , " •' • . f J falls (Dakota) lettsfc! >' « The fire at bliss ard of Thursday, Jan. 12, frill long be remembered. In fact, the day *rili go down into history as the date of a most extraordinary event. That fifty or one hundred persons more or less should have been frozen to death is truly a terrible calamity. And yet Dakota ought not to be condemned and shunned by home-seekers because of tbis heartrend­ ing occurrence. The truth is, the blizzard of Thursday was absolutely the worst ever known in oentral and southern Dakota. It was a peculiar blizzard. Generally the Dakota storms, whether in winter or summer, last for at least a part of three days. But this baneful blitz ard seemed to cut itself in two. It began on Wednesday and proved to be a very severe storm, with fresh snow, which the wind took np with great force and whirled with bewildering effect. By Thunsday morning the snow ceased falling, the wind died down, and people began congratulating themselves on a com--' " * " see m< three days' blizzard bo far so good; but (hat lull in the storm is what did the murderous mischief. That bright sunshine which came out so enticing­ ly lor an hour or two on Thursday morning was like the voice of the siren, wooing hapless victims to a terrible death. Men, women, and children were deceived. Chil­ dren went to school and men went about their work as usual, when they should not have ventured from their homeB. Between 0 and 10 o'clock the storm again broke forth with terrific fury. An old vet­ eran. who engaged in the battle of Gettys­ burg, said the lull in the storm of Thurs­ day was ju&t like the lull in the battle just before the charge of Pickett's cavalry. A tremendous cannonading had been going on between the artillery force on each side. General Meade, suspecting that the heavy firing of the rebels was done to cover up an attack, ordered the artillery to cease firing, to let their guns cool, and to get ready for an aggressive movement on the part of the enemy. On the other hand the tebels thought they had silenced the Federal bat­ teries, and Pickett was ordered to make that famous and fatal charge. Never be­ fore--except perhaps when into the jaws of death rode tbe six hundred--was a charge made with such disastrous effect. From all along the Federal lines (were poured out the bullets from the musketry, and grape and canister from the artillery. The earth fairly rocked with the terrific thunder. So deathly was the conflict that in a short time Pickelt's command of 17,- 000 men, the flower of the rebel army, was reduced to lesB than 1,800. As it was the lull that deceived Pickett at Gettysburg, so W«B it the lull that de­ ceived the people of South Dakota. When they thought the fury of the storm had been spent, it really had not begun. It started again with fury and it gathered to itself increasing fierceness as it went along. The air was full of snow, which was liter­ ally as fine as flour. It was driven by a north wind which blew witn tremendous velocity. So thick was (he air one could not see over two or three rods and some­ times not one. The wind howled with a dismal sound which foreboded nothing good, and^U tho. time it seemed to rise to a higher ana become more mournful and defiant. The luckless wayfarer who attempted to beat his way against the ter­ rible siorin in a few minutes found his eyes all but completely blinded and his cheeks coated with snow and ice. The fo;ce of the wind fairly took his breath away and he was compelled to turn around to breathe. The storm lasted all Thursday and through most of the following night. It is not strange that persons who were out became bewildered and ultimately lost their lives; but it is strange that any should have ventured out during the storm. But this storm cannot be charged up to Dakota alone. It extended throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and most of Iowa. Fatalities occurred in all these sections,' but Dakota suffered the most be­ cause of the deceptivene6B of the storm. Amid the many pathetic and distressing stories of intenBe suffering and loss of life, it ia gratifying to hear of a number of es­ capes which were planned by tbe cool and thoughtful heads. Some persons, when the.v realized they were lost, quietly buried themselves in tho snow, covering them­ selves as best they could. In this way not only were their lives saved, but soma 6ur- viv^^.without being even f'oat- 4 Bltaamt Experiences. [jamtatown (Dak.) letter.] Among the late blizzard news come a number of reports of the pluck and endur­ ance of the parties caught out in tbe storm. Probably tbe most interesting of these hazardous experiences was that to which P. Gaffeny, a milkman of the county, was subjected. He staged out Thursday morn­ ing with his team and milk-cans, as usual, and the storm broke on him when he was only thirty tods from the house. Mr. Gaffeny is <*u old-timer, and, appreciating the situation, turned ids horses and at­ tempted to drive them hoineward in the face of the wind. The hoise, as usual, refused to face the wind, and he was soon lost. All that day he searched ia the blinding, pelting gusts for his home without avail. He knew he eoujd not be far off, and, when night came, unhitched his horses and prepared to camp out on the prairie for tbe night. All night and until 11 o'clock next* day, when the tempest lightened, he battled wit i the storm. W hen he got bis bearings he found himself in an opeii field about one mile from home. Mr. Gaffeny'e experience is one seldom equaled, and one 6uch as only a tough and wiry constitution such as he possesses, could live through. Another case in this county is that of Nels Morgan, a young fnrmer living south of town. He started from the eity with a load of coal, but when a short distance out his mules refused to go against the wind. Young Morgan exercised his presence of mind, turned the coal out of tho wagon-box, crowded under that narrow shelter, and re­ mained there until the storm had spent it- selfs-two nights and one day. In Barnes County, R, N. Pray and J. It. Reynolds, who were caught on* their way home from Valley City, owe their lives to a similar exhibition of presence of mind. The team got off the road, and, the men findiug that they were lost, unhitched, turned 'the sleigh upside down, and re­ mained there until morning. Kromen to Death and l»«voure«f by Hog*. !St. Paul telegram.] A story of horrible inhumanity or worse comes from Belgrade, Montana, where it is said a (ierman laborer in the employ of a farmer was allowed to freeze to death. The laborer was ill, a»d was placed by the farmer in a room without fire, an-1 will­ fully neglected. After an unusually cold niqbt, the man was found frozen to death. His botlv was then removed to the wood­ shed, where it was partially devoured fay hogs. THE EXECUTED ANARCHISTS. ones know how to m«ka the most of the situation.

This evening's issue contains the following Instanco. It i» headed, "Telegraphing Extraordinary-- Interviewing by Cable Across the World." The article begins; "An altogether unprecedented feat in telegraphy was perfoimed last night when an interview took plaoe by cable between our special commissioner, now at Vancou­ ver, and the editor at the offices of thtf Commercial Cable Company. Tne arrangements in London were under G. H. Bainbridge, Superintend­ ent of the Mackay-Bennett Company. Mr. Hosmer, manager o^ the Canadian Pacific Railway Telegraphs, and Mr. Ward, manager of the Commercial Cable Company, superintended ©n the other side. The origin of the interview was tbe desire of our special commissioner to afford the Old World a new and striking manifesta­ tion of the extent to which time and space have been annihilated by the electric tele-* graph and cable. The exact distances traversed by the electric current convey­ ing the messages are as follows by wire: London to Bristol, spur cable, 140 miles; by spur cable to. Waterville, Ireland, 329; by cable from Waterville to Cnnso, Nova Scotia, 2,750; from Canso, New York, and Canadian Pacific Railway telegraph lines to Vancouver, 4,40!J, making a total 7,610 miles. Conversation was carried on, allowing for breaks produced by a Btorm that interrupted the wires, first between Ottawa and Montreal, then on west of Winnipeg, consecutively for three houis. The private messages on either side, of course, have been excised from this public record. This unequaled interview by wire outstripped the sun by eight hours, it being 1 o'clock in the afternoon at Van­ couver and 9 o'clock at night in London. The conversation began with a bon jour message from the Pacific upon the Van­ couver morning, and in a few minutes only the salutation was returned from London. Next came, within six minutea' time, the following from tbe Pacific side: "There are with me tbe Mayor of Vancouver, O, Oppenhelmer, editor of the Vancouver N«wt- Advertiser, and Mr. Cotton, Superintendent of the Pacific Division of the Canadian Paciflo liailroad Telegraph. Mr. Wilson ia at the key. "After half an hour of instructions be­ tween the editor and correspondent, the latter says: "See the PacIHe as I write. In afewoays I shall start for a 4,100-mile voyage on the Eng­ lish ship Parthia over another ocean. yet I am able to report myself to you and talk as qnickly and easily as if we were speaking through the tube in Northumberland street at our office. "During the electiic interview Manager Ward in New York told London: "The lines beyond Winnipeg have suddenly given out, but I expect them to be through in a few minutes. The weather was very severe in the north. The thermometer in New York last night was zero. It is now 10 deg. above. I hope the conversation has been satisfactory so far. "During the interview several Vancou- verans took part inF the eleotric conversa­ tion, thus: "The Mayor and corporation of the city of Vancouver send greetings to the I'all Mall Gazette. They trust the visit of his commis­ sioner may be beneficial to the Qazette, as it is certain to be profitable to Vancouver and British Columbia. D. OPPENHEIMEB, Mayor. "To which London answered: "Thanks from the editor of the Pall Mall Ga­ zette toe the kindly greeting and hospitable welcome. "The following came from Winnipeg: "Winnipeg, the center of the continent, sends greetings to the I'all Mali Gazette. It is zero here to-day, but we are not freeziug to death as in Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana. Mo hlls- zards here. Good-night. 4 "This was followed by: "Editor ot the Pall Mall Oasttte sends hearty thanks for tho kind greetings and congratula- tijns ot Winnipeg, her journalistic enterprise, anl freedom fiom blizzards. "There were established seven points for the current over the continent. There were repeaters at Donald, Winnipeg, Port Arthur, Carter, Montreal, Albany, and New York." The Pall Mall Gazette adds these com­ ments: "At Waterville, whertf the cable across the Atlantic connected with the shore, the messages were taken off by Sir W. Thomson's recorder, which produces a de icate, wavy, penciled line, utterly unintelligible to all but the initiated. The current on this side was generated by thirty cells, which transmitted messages from Lon­ don to Waterville. On the American side the line was worked by a similar or greater number, while relays of an equul number of cells were established at seven points en route, the current used in ouch case having a range of about tiUO miles. The current nei-essary to cross the Atlantic was much feebler. A single cell will generate enough electricity to carry a message from the Old World to" the New. This is owing to the much more perfect insulation of the cable. The messages from the special commis­ sioner. therefore, weie transmitted by Morse from New Westminster, re.id off at Canso, in Nova Scotia, and retransmitted to Water­ ville, where they were read off by an opera­ tor and retransmitted to London, where they were recorded on a Wheatstone re­ ceiver and read off at the same time by an ordinary sounder, the click of which was almost incessant."

[CHICAGO CORRESPOND ENCK.] Although the toboggan slides of tlklK. Northeast and Northwest are groaning under the weight of thousands of meny* coasters; although the snow-covered boule­ vards of our gnat cities throughout the North are thronged with sleighloads ol merry people, whose laughter mingle*-• with the joyous jingle of the bells; and notwithstanding that the eyes of every lovei of winter festivities In no less than a dozen* of the most populous States of the Union* are turned toward St. Paul in anticipation of the coming carnival of the lee King and his subjects in that cityv the columns of the great daily papers of the country ate beginning to fill up with gossip--specula­ tive and newsy--as to the probabilities of the coming season in connection with' the great national game of the Americans --base-ball. This year as in yean past ths teams of the National League located sfc Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Pittsburg^. Philadelphia, Washington. Boston and New York will, judging from their com- plexion at the present time, give to Ameri" - cans tne closest contest and the most fin­ ished exhibition of the beauties of th« game. Last year three or four verv weak • teams left the race almost absolutely^in the hands of four clubs, New York, Philadel- Ehia, Chicago, and Detroit. This year,. oweyer, the condition of things will be re­ freshingly different. Pittsburg has not: been idle since the season of 1887 closed. With commendable enterprise its tew managers have been keeping thek eyes open lor everything in ths way of playing talent that promised' to strengthen its ranks, with the result that they have secured four or five new men who will surely add very greatly to tht playing strength of the team next summer. The latest capture of this club is that of Billy Sunday, tbe promising outfielder and sprinter of the Chicago Club. Chicago" people are by no means pltased over Sun* day s release, as he had many frierds in this city who think that the management of the Chicago Club has made a mistake in- letting the player go. President Spalding, says, in explanation of his action:' "Sunday was released to Pittsburg against my judgment aud against that or Captain Anson, but under the circum­ stances I could not do other than I did. That we let him go is due to the continued' harsh criticisms of one or two of the Chi­ cago papers. The result was that we took Sunday off the field, because we found that the more the papers said the more it unflt- ed him for work, and tbe more errors hf made. He simply could not stand news-- {>aper criticism. There was but one thing, eft for me to do, and that was to release him to some club that could offer him op­ portunities that he could not Ret in Chi­ cago. He wanted to go to Pittsburg, and 1 let him go there. If the Pittsburg club handles tne boy in the right way he will prove a valuable man to it next season. He is as honest as a Quaker, and a ball player from his feet up. I never knew any to do better work in the field than Sundaj at times did for ns. He is sensitive, how- . ever, and does not stand newspaper criti­ cism well. He is one of those men whose- best work is secured by a timely bit of praise in the way of encouragement. I re- Sret deeply being compelled to let him got . ut under tbe circumstances could not well do otherwise." The IndianapoliB seems to be bracing up, and, in addition to Paul Hines, says that it will secure two or three otheT players next season that will enable it to play ball along with the rest of them. Detroit will have about the same old team next year. Phila­ delphia will have practically the same team, with the addition of two or three promising new men. Chicago and New York hats strengthened wonderfully, and will doubt* less make a tight race for the pennant. "New York will have a great team in the field next season," said Capt. Anson, the other day, "but none of you want to fail to keep your eye on Chicago. C hicago wttV win the pennant of 18b8 dead sure, or 1 shall be a veiy badly tooled man." The American Association has finally filled in its circuit by appointing Kansas City as the eighth club in its circuit. Jim Whitfield, who was connected with the League club of 1886 in that city, went to Cincinnati, and was present at last week's meeting in that city to represent, as he said, Kansas City capitalists, who were willing to establish a club there. So Kan­ sas City was finally admitted to the circuit Now, it happens that the new Western As­ sociation, composed of Chicago, St. Louip# Kansas City, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Min­ neapolis, Omaha, and Des Moines, has ft club in Kansas City, and President Sags Morton, of the Western Association, is nat­ urally very sore at the prospect of the As­ sociation locating an opposition club there. Last month the new Western As­ sociation was admitted to the protection off the national agreement, under which no association can establish a club in a citj already occupied by another association, without the latter association's consent. Wht n apked what he, as the President of the Western Association, would do it} the - matter. Sam Morton said: "I should not be forced to take any steito * in that direction myself. The protactioli ; stforiled us as the result ot our recent - meeting with the Arbitration Committee st Cincinnati should alone prove a prevent­ ive to any other organization entering' Westein Association territory. If West- . era Association clubs cannot get protec­ tion that far, whal good is the National- Agreement to them? v "Suppose tbey go ahead and locate a club ' there any way, in violation of your agree*," ment, what would your people do?" he WM" asked. ' Simply frame articles of agreement ftp ><: govern the minor leagues of the country. . Our principal safeguard would be a rule to permanently blacklist from all leagues and associations under our agreement any playes * who leaves & minor league club to acoept • position in any National League or Asso­ ciation club, without first having secured his release from the minor league club witlt which he is playing nt the time. I think such an agreement would give us all the > protection we wanted, for I tellyoua voung player would think twice before uncere­ moniously jumping a minor league for a National League club when he knew that such action upon his part would forever debar him from playing in any minor league club ia case he proved a £«ul»s» with the big clubs." . DIAMOND GOSSIP. jiH/" The experience of Eastern base-lmllv * ayers in California this winter has 'en so rosv a one ns that of a year ag<^ When the first contingent of Eastern play­ ers reached the coast they were received by a crowd that hindered the work of the firi* and third bas.men during the game. These were speeches, flowers and congratulation^, v ? all of which looked very pretty to the out-^'4 sider. Gradually, however, the novelty wos^t off tlie Eastern.clubs, and pettv jealousies and discords began to affect the work of the players. The Chicago and Philadelphia men had become dis­ couraged by Christmas, and on one plea _ or another obtained releases until nothing now remains of the Chicago and Philadelphia ball clubs. Mulvey started the exodus, McGuire and Sullivan fol­ lowed, and then Burns, Pfeffer and Foster t started for home. Others will follow until out of the two clubs but nine men remain- and nnder the name of the Easterns will be matched againat a pinked nine of (Mb , fomia players. 1 w
