The train, with the Andrews Opera Company on board, struck a broken rail, the chgine and baggdge-car passed oVer in safety, but the sleeping Mr was derailed and ran some 800 feet on the ties when it toppled over and weitt down an embankment, landing on Its side. In a minute all was confusion. Tho sleeping inmates realized their peril. Aa soon as windows were broken to lib­ erate those inside flames shot out, and in Tery short order the car was enveloped. Willing bands of trainmen soon liberated those who were anablo to extricate themselves, but none were able to save their clothes, and tho night being the ©oldest of the soasou, the thermometer reaching 46 below, the sufforing of the tojured was terrible. It was discovered that Mrs. Ed Andrews and Lillie Wallace were missing, but no human, effort could render them assistance, as the car was a mass of flames, and they were burned to death. Many others were injured, some ••f whom will die. (a~. fii : Made Madison's Inaugural Suit - THOMAS SCHOFIELD died at his home la North Lyme, Conn., at the acre of 101 years and 3 months. Grip caused his death. Schoficld was extremely proud of the fact that he., was tho oldest man in Connecticut. One of tho events of his life of which he was very proud occurred in 1808 when he made thirteen yards of broadcloth and pre­ sented it to President Madison. Presi­ dent Madison was inaugurated in the suit made from this cloth, being the first President who took the oath of office dressed in a broadcloth suit made in the United States. --:-- • «'5 • Coal for Chili. V San Francisco the collier San Mateo has been chartered to take coal from Nanaimo to Chili. The captain of the collier states that the United States Government, lias chartered the vessel and has ordered him to rush his cargo through as rapidly as possible. The San Mateo can carry a cargo of over 4,000 tons and can steam nearly twelve knots an hour, so that it will not take many days to make the trip. f ^ Irrigation in Montana. !THI Census Bureau has issued a bul­ letin upon the subject of irrigation in Montana. It is shown that in that State there are 3,700 farms that are irrigated out of a total number of 5,664. The total area of land upon which crops were raised by irrigation in the census year ending May 31, 1890, was 350,582 acres, in addition to which there were approximately 217,000 acres irrigated for grazing purposes. - Sounds Just Like Arkansas. A* Little Bock, Ark., Hon. Ben L. Pate was. hit on the head with a stone in • WESTER:*. A BHAliii lake on the farm rf J. O. Higgins, near Warsaw, Ind., is attract­ ing considerable attention just now. Although the weather is nnd has been for several days below zero, yet this lake is not frozen in the least'. Never since this lake has been known has it been frozen. TThe water is as clear as crystal, and is not seemingly warmer than surrounding water, or. disturbed by any current. • / AT a meeting in Helena to promote the scheme of irrigation of Montana lands at national expense Cnited States Senator Power said: "There is a Judge of the Supreme bench who is actually a lob­ byist in getting Judges named to-day. I refer to Judge Field, who is going out of his road to arrange that land-grant roads shall get our mineral lands." Mr. Pow­ er cited his colleague, Senator Sanders, as authority for this statement. PENDING decision by the Supreme Court of California of the constitution­ ality of the law providing that all exe­ cutions shall be conducted within the State Penitentiary at San Quinten, no convicted murderers can be sentenced to death without the incurring of the risk that they may escape through having been sentenced through an unconstitu­ tional act. At least three months must elapse before there can be a decision of the disputed point. TWELVE breweries in Cincinnati, Cov­ ington and Newport have agreed to form a combination similar to that of the Whisky Trust. Their combined capacity is about 3,000,000 barrels per annum, and their capital amounts to about $2,500,000. The new combination pro­ poses to increase its capital stock to $5,000,000, It is possible that some of the breweries will be closed if it shall be found more economical to do so. The new combination has not yet decided upon a name, but the organization will soon be perfected. ADVICES from the logging camps of the Northwest are encouraging. Never in the history of logging in this section has the weather been more propitious for an early securing of the harvest of logs. The continued cold weather and the light snows make skidding and haul­ ing very easy. In the Duluth region it is estimated that 75 per cent, of the en­ tire cut is uow pkidded ready for haul­ ing, while in the Mississippi district and in Northern Wisconsin the situation is equally forward. It is now as certain as it can be at this early date that the cut will be unprecedentedly large. THE north-bound mail train on the Monon road, en route from Louisville to Chicago, went over a steep embank­ ment two miles north of Crawfordsville, Ind. The accident occurred on a curve, where the train was running at a rate of twenty-five miles an hour, and wias due to a loose rail, two section hands bei^g at work on it at the time. The Scenes at the wreck were terrible. Bleeding " and senselesfe bodies were being carried from the burning cars an-} frenzied men and women rushed frantically to and fro looking for missing friends and relatives. Five were killed outright. Of twenty- three members of the City Club Vaude­ ville Company of New York, eighteen were hurt. The whole number of injured reaches fifty-five, many of whom cannot recover. * SOUTHERN/ the hands of Dump Sanders, colored. GEOBGE WASHINGTON (colored) killed Pate will die.

FOB years the disappesrance of travelers in the Indian country across the river from Chandler, Oklahoma Territory, has Been frequent and mysterious. The other day,. in a dense wood a mile from the stage road, a house was found which was ap­ proached only by a long, circuitous trail, and thereby the mysterious disap­ pearances explained. The house con­ struction shows that it was built by and for the use of robbers and criminals generally. It is a cabin of four rooms, one behind the. next. In the doorway between the first and second was found » trap over which the unwary Stranger must pass. By an arrange­ ment of bolts this trap, which to a large cavern below, could be worked much like an execution scaf­ fold.

At San Antonio, Texfts, the strike looks gloomier than ever. The railways have notified their employes that under the law railway companies a^e compelled to handle each other's business, and the employes have notified the company that they will not handle the Aransas* Pass supplies or freight. If a settlement is not reached, the tie-up which will likely be the result bids fair to outrival the general strike of eight years ago. \ PBESIDENT PAUL CONBAD and Secre­ tary J. P. Horner and a number of em­ ployes of the lottery company appeared before Commissioner Wright at New Orleans, La., to answer an indictment for Martinsburg, W. Va., charging them with having violated the anti-lottery postal law, but the case was , indefinitely continued. This action came from Dis­ trict Attorney Grant's motion to con­ tinue because the proceedings had been ordered to be suspended. He declined to state why and by whose authority such suspension was made. A SEBIOUS riot occurred at MicOpany, Fla., between whites and blacks, about 250 of whom had gathered in the public square to witness a tight-rope perform­ ance. A negro named Henry Hinson used insulting language in the presence of white ladies, W. Jefferson Chitty, a prominent young white man, ordered him away. Hinson went, but returned with" a pistol and delib­ erately shot Chitty, killing him instant­ ly. A free fight followed. John Jones, a negro friend of Hinson, was killed. In the confusion Hinson escaped, but Marshal Purdy organized a posse and captured him. He was brought back and placed in Jail, but a mob took him out and hanged him to a tree. Both whites and negroes justify the lynching. WASHINGTON. * THEBE are thirteen candidates for the place of keeper of the restaurant in the Capitol Building at Washington. WASHINGTON dispatches affirm that Instructions were cabled to Minister Egan to demand of the Chilian Govern­ ment immediate disavowal of the offen­ sive Matfca note, and to renew the de­ mand for reparation for the attack upon seamen from the United States ship Baltimore. THE new regulations which the Civil Service ^Commission is preparing for ex­ amination of applicants tor places in the railway mail service require a much stricter physical examination xhan has been required heretofore. The work of the railway mail service requires such perfect physical development that the commission considers It useless to admit appliounte to -the educational test who BOLIVIA has a serious revolt of In­ dians tp contend with. Several villages have been burned by the savages, male inhabitants murdered and women car­ ried away. • PBINCE ALBERT VICTOB, duke of Clar­ ence and Avondale, eldest son of the Prince of Wales and heir presumptive to the throne of Great Britain, died at Sandringham, England, of pneumonia. He was in his 27th year. „• « IN an interview with Father Ohr- walder, the priest who was formerly con­ nected with the Austrian Soudan Mis­ sion, and who recently escaped fro^n the Mahdists after nine years oif captivity, he confirmed the report that the Mahdl was poisoned, and repeated in detail the events that led to his death. CABDINAL MANNING, of the Roman Church, and Archbishop of West­ minster, died in London, after a very short illness. Cardinal Simeoni, for­ merly Papal Secretary of State and Pre­ fect General of the Propaganda, is also dead. His death was due to an attack of influenza, from which he had been suffering for several days. THE British sloop-of-war Daphne left San Francisco, Cal., for Esquimault, B. C., short of eight men. Four men ashore on liberty failed to return to the vessel. Sergeant Turner and McKimm and Lar- combe, marines, escaped from the ves­ sel in a beat from shore. Seaman Randall started to" swim ashore, and it is believed he was drowned. THE steamer Meifoo has arrived at Hong Kong, bringing intelligence of the loss of the steamer NameiMtft off Cupchi Points. The Meifoo reports that the shaft of the Namchow broke, supposedly at the point where it emerges from the hull. This allowed tho water to rush into the shaft alley and make its way to the engine-room and thence*" into the fire-room. The fires were soon extinguished and' she settled rapidly. Tho water, continued to pour in unchecked and the vessel foundered. The Namchow was employed in trading locally in the China seas, and she had on board a very large number of Chinese passengers. She sank so rapidly that it was impossible to launch her boats, even had she had enough to carry all han.ds on board. When she went down she "carried with her 414 persons, every one of whom was drowned. The steamer was officered by Europeans and her crew also consisted of sailors; firemen, e:te., from different European countries. They stood to their posts to the last and did everything possible to save their vessel. All of them went down with the steamer. IN GENERAL. IT is said the Rock Island Railway management is planning an air line to Fort Worth, Tex., and thence by the way of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas to the Southern coast. LAST season the output of salmon can-, neries in British Columbia was 4,000,000 pounds less than thp preceding year, and there are such evidences of depletion of the salmon streams that a commission will be sent out to investigate. THE Government party of Canada was defeat«$$l in tho election for member of arliament in Richelieu County, Prov-i in^T^f Quebec, to succeed Sir Hector Langevin, resigned. The Conservative majority at the preceding election was 300. A DWELLING house at Fort Lawrence Dock, Amherst, N. S., occupied by Mrs. Campbell and fanlily was burned and Mrs. Campbell, aged 45, and her 6-year- old daughter perished in the flames. The fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp. THE Spanish City of Jerez de la Fron- tera, in the province of Cadiz, was the scene of an anarchistic demonstration tho other night, at an hour when the people were returning from the theaters. Attacks were made simultaneously upon the infantry barracks and the town hall. Many AM Maimed. . In all truth the officials of the Louis­ ville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad Company have said that the disaster which overtook their northbound pas­ senger train north of Crawfordsville, Ind., was the worst In the history of the road. The Monon has had its share of misfortunes. There were more fatalities at Broad Ripple and at other wrecks on that line, but none exceeded the Craw­ fordsville affair in horror, or in whole­ sale maiming, as the stories hdard and the investigations made at tho scene of the accident go to show. Three victims are In the list of fatalities go far. They are Mme. Erina Van Rokay, the dan- seuse of the City Club Burlesque Com­ pany; Ben Hamburg, the Cincinnati traveling man; and C. N. Cheek, lumber merchant, of Green Castle. Nellio Han- ley of the show eompany, Mrs. Rosa Evans of Green Castle, and E. White- sides, three of the thirty-four maimed victims, will die. In Crawfordsville the wreck caused great excitement. Feeling was strong against the section men, who were re­ ported to have left the rail which caused the wreck insecurely^spiked to the track. But there came a change of sentiment when Samuel Burkholder, a respected citizen, reported that in a conversation with one of the section men he had b^en told that the rail which caused all the trouble had been broken for a long time, and that the section men had applied in vain to the company for a new rail. It was refused, so the section man said, on the ground that the whole liire was soon, to be supplied with new steel rails. The acci^pnt occurred at a place that Is one of the most dangerous points in the Monon system. A -mile and a half north of Crawfordsville the track crosses a deep ravine on a trestle somo forty feet high. After crossing the ravine the roadbed winds around a hill, and follows the bends of the hoiiow for some dis­ tance, the tra<?k being for the most part cut out of the steep side of the ravine. Just north of the trestle there is a point especially precipitous, and it was chosen by the fates for the scene of v^he dis­ aster. A hundred yards before reaching the steepest point the train struck a broken rail. Tho engine passed over safely, but the first car, a mail coach, was de­ railed. The cars broke loose .from each other, but followed the ties until that awful declivity was reached. The mail tWFcold blasts MI hard as any man. The dead and wounded were carried to Craw fordevile and eared for. The poopie of tho town offered many gentle services. Another costly and almost equally horrible accident came n»>nr filling out a day of misfortune for the Monon. Just before midnight the wrecking-train pulled Into Crawfordsville fiom the scene of the day's disaster. Nine men were sleeping in the caboose of the wrecking-train at the station, which jwas lying on the main track, when sud­ denly around the curve came a through freight at full speed with twenty-five cars heavily loaded. ThG last three cars of the wrecking train were completely demolished, and some barrels'iof oil as sisted in making a terrible conflagra tlon. But no one was hurt. Agents of the road appeared in the city soon after the accident and were busy settling claims for cash where they could, and refusing to settle where the passengers were unreasonable In their demands. Claim Agent Houston had a LOOK ISO nOWNTHE IMUANKMENT. satchel full of greenbacks which he dis­ tributed in lots of $10 to $100. Ail affirmed that there wae no defect in tho road or roadbed. "There are many things about this wreck I don't understand," said Mr. Kretzinger. "The roadbed was in just as good condition as it possibly could be. As a proof of this, I might say that tho roadbed was that firm that in the whole hundred yards of track that was dragged over by the trucks after the cars left the track, and before they fell down tho hill, not a single tie was disturbed from its place, so firmly are they laid and so per­ fect is the ballasting." 'The wreck," said General Superin­ tendent Collins, "was the result of a broken rail, but how the rail was broken I do not know. I have not seen the pieces, to know whether the rail was de­ fective or whether it was the work ol frost. The rails were of tho best of steel, and I think frost did the work. I do not see that it could possibly have been avoided by any precautionary measures. It's just what would ha,ve happened on any road, but it occurred on about the worst spot on the whole line, and it is a wonder to me that there were so few fatalities.

The second car, a combination coa.^h, carrying the baggage of the theatrical company, stayed right where it was on the track, not even leaving the ties. The smoking car fell on its pide and started down the hill. Three times the car turned com­ pletely over. The brakeinan was fixing the fire at the time the car }eft the tracks, and, the stove-door being open, the live coals flew everywhere among the many passengers. The car was set on fire in many places, and the flames burned the frightened occupants. The car was not broken much, however, and all those in the car escaped by breaking through the windows before any were fatally .burned. Somo painful bruises resulted, hpwever, to the people in the car, as they were thrown from floor to ceiling and from ceiling to floor wit,h each turn it made. The car was con­ sumed by the flames after all the. pas­ sengers-had gotten out. Next to the smoker was tho ladles' car, and in it the greatest mischief was done. As it started to roll down the steep de­ cline, as tho smoker had done before it, it found a harder road to travel. Direct­ ly in it path was tho broken, jagged stump of a tree. The side of the car struck this with terrific force, and the sharp, firmly set timber piercing the side instantly killed Mme. Van ltokey and Ben Hamburg.

CHASE OP THE WABRUS. m Hunted for Its Oil, Which 14 Inferior to tho Whale's. The oil of the walrus is the princi­ pal result of its chase, but this oil is inferior to that derived from seals, and less in quantity in proportion to the creature's bulk, the largest sel­ dom j'ielding over 500 pounds, writes Ernest Ingersoll, in Frank Leslie's. It is useful for the same purpose as, whale oil, and the most of it goes, presumably, to adulterate the better product. No -statistics are at hand, but the amount taken must still be very considerable, since all whaling vessels go prepared to save such wal­ ruses as they come ac:oss. They have special boats for the chase of the sea horse. The hide is little valued at present in America, almost its only use being as a covering for polishing wheels and as chafing gear on shipboard. An­ ciently this was the material out of which the English made their ships' cables, and Othere sailed away to the arctic seas, in the time of King Al­ fred, for the purpose of bringing back this necessary adjunct to the King's vessels. In Europe the hide finds a market in Russia, where it is tanned into a spongy lq^ther, principally de­ voted to harnessmaking. Formerly this supply was largely derived by Ilussia from Siberia and Alaska. "As long as the weather remained cold and dry the wear of this material was highly satisfactory, but woe to the ' Kibitscha' if caught in a rainstorm. The walrus harness then stretches like India rubber, and the horses fairly leave the vehicle far behind sticking in the mud, though the traces are unbroken."

The other occupants of the car were just realizing that something awful had happened and to feel their own injuries when the car came to a stop against a large sycamore. A moment later down came »the last car, a heavy Pullman coach, with an awful crash, settling down almost squarely on the ladies' car, crushing the top clear off and exposing the already Injured passengers to still greater danger. For an Instant after the cars had set­ tled nothing was heard save the crack­ ling flames that were consuming the splintered, coaches. Then the engineer blew an appealing blast for help, and the screams and moans of the wounded sounded forth from the wreckage pite- ously. One of the victims, bleeding from many cuts, climbed the hill and started toward Crawfordsville, calling loudly for help. Farmers and men cutting ice iri a stream near the wreck hurried to the rescue. The disaster developed a hero­ ine. Miss Helen Watson, formerly of Louisville, daughter of H. S. Watson, local agent of the road at Crawsfords- ville, who helps her father at the depot, was oa© of the first to hear the alarm. She hurried to the scene, running the entire two miles, and, being the only woman unhurt, she was of infinite serv­ ice, giving her cloak to one helpless suf­ ferer, aoothlng others, and working in Who Could Blame Her. I saw a beautiful little,girl being fitted to gloves in a very swell glove shop cne day last week. She had eyes of turquoise, hair like spun gold, a complexion as delicate as the leaf of a rose, and had seen about six sum­ mers, perhaps not quite so many winters. She was surveying her plump little hands, which had just been incased in tan-colored gloves. With a comical look of dismay she said: MI don't want 'em; I don't lite 'em. I tan't wiggle my finders." Her mother, a fashionably dressed woman, replied: "Well, you've got to wear them. You can't be running about the streets barehanded. It is not good form." And then they walked away, the maiden still pro­ testing that she could not put her "finders" in her "potit." No doubt in a few years little Miss Blu$ Eyes will* have developed into a fashionable young woman who lives in gloves, but it will be an acquired taste. Everybody wears gloves, but few like the custom. The latent savage linger­ ing in us calls out for perfect free­ dom of hand and wrist.--New York Ilecordier.

His Royal Highness, Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence, and heir to the Brit­ ish throne, is dead. His death was caused by congestion of the lungs, brought about by a severe cold contracted while hunting. The Duke of Clarence was a member of a party which was shooting over some covers situated a long distance, from Sandringham Hall. At luncheon he complained of not feeling as well as usual, was seen to shiver, and said that he felt that he was taking cold, but after the meal he con­ tinued shooting. At the conclusion of the sport he walked home instead of driving with the-rest of the party. That evening ]fee-.dined with the assembled 1 ALBERT VICTOR. company, but was obliged to retire early.
