Eight persona were killed and a dozen injured. The list of killed is p.8 follows: Ik>bert Hunting- toc. of Galioti, O.. passenger engineer; William Walters, of Galion, paaxenger fireman; J. F. Rushford, of Galion, freight brakeman: William Lundy, of SalamnncK, N. ¥. (Wells, Fai-go & Co. express mes­ senger); three Chinamen; Mary Ann Lyon, of Idaho, ticketed second-class to Cherry Creek, N. ¥. The injured are: David Thomas, of Galion; Robert Owen, of Kent; Sam Douglass, of Galion; James Boyd, of Paterson, N. J.; George Shaw, of Galion; Thomas Fairfax (colored), of Cleveland. Other passengers, whose names were not learned, received slight injuries, bat none of them serious. Those in the two sleepers escaped practically unhurt. The greatest horror came when the baggage car and imoker, which telescoped with the com­ mon coach, took fire, the weak and help­ less and wounded praying for sucoor from the flames that were fast enveloping them. One man, George Shaw, pinned in by the wreckage, managed by super­ human efforts to release his lower limbs, and escaped cut and bruised. The last man to get out alive was able to grasp an ax-handle and retain his hold until he was drawn through a gap, half dead, but was quickly resusci­ tated. In the smoker were eight China­ men. Five wera pulled out alive, but half dead from fright. Three were never seen after the crash, and bones and bits of charred flesh gathered up in a bag were all that was found of them. The express ear carried a large quantfty of fine silver trea«ure-safe said to be filled with fine gold, valued at $25,- 000. The company's direct loss is .np* ward of $15,000. ANARCHY in Indianapolis, Ind., re­ ceived a stunning blow in the conviction of George Hacker, the anarchist, who so brutally assaulted his employer, James Bruce. Hacker was defended by the anarch­ ists of that city, who raised money and lent all their influence to the defense. It was shown that the defendant had frequently threatened the life of Brace for no other reason than that the latter did not agree with him in his peculiar notions about government, and advised him if he did not like the principles of the American Constitution to leave the country. Brace's wounds have not yet healed, and the jury, after a short absence, returned a verdict of guilty. They fixed the punishment at fourteen years' confinement in the peni­ tentiary and assessed a fine of $1,000.< Will Li AM KEANE, a deformed newsboy, died suddenly in a room in North St. Louis, Mo. He was 36 years of age, and had sold papers continually for twenty- five yean. His Btond was for ! fif­ teen years in front of the Southern Hotel, but for the last ten years he had disposed of his wares in front of the Lindeil. When he died his room was searched, and the searchers were surprised to find f2,050 and a certificate on the Safety Deposit Company. The box in the safety vaults was opened and street rail­ way and railroad bonds valued at $21,000 were found. His relatives lived in abject misery and never knew he had the wealth. Keane never told anybody about his money. AT Poteau, I. T., two men named Webb and Harris shot each other to death, and a bystander who witnessed the fatally wounded. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. * THE Hon.

STANIKT. Sir Francis de Winton says Stanley's litter merely confirms the explorer's pre- •tons dispatches and furnishes little ad­ ditional information. He expects that further reports from Stanley will shortly be foithcoming. A great deal of specula­ tion is rife as to why the letter t© Tippoo Tib was forwarded to Brussels and the other dispatohes from Stanley withheld, but as yet no theory has been arrived at that will serve to explain the circum­ stance. A MUNICH special says: Mme. Di Murska, the singer, died here in extreme poverty. Her daughter, who was heart­ broken at the loss of her mother, commit­ ted suicide by taking poison. lima Dl Murska was born in Croatia in 1843. She studied music at Vienna and Paris under the best teachers, and made her debut at the Pengola, Florence, in 1862. She sung at Pesth, Berlin, and Vienna, and ob­ tained an engagement in Londonat Her Majesty's Theater, appearing there as Lucia in May, 1865. Sbe visited America in 1873, and returned in 1879. Her voice was soprano and was exceedingly sweet, and her acting was brilliant and original. THE Paiis Temps says that a London firm has offered the General of the Car­ thusian Monks of La Grande Char­ treuse the sum of £3,000,000 for a monopoly of the manufacture and sale of the famous Chartreuse liquor. A papal legate who arrived at the monastery recently has enjoined the monks not to accept the offer, reminding; them that the Carthusian statutes forbid trading. The General of the order is disposed to reject the proposal.

The average yield of the commercial belt, or seven corn surplus States, averages 33.2 bushels per acre. The Atlantic coast, south of the Potomac, averages 11.2 bush­ els of comparatively poor quality. The wheat aggregate is 313,838,000 bushels, grown on 37,336,138 acres, valued at $384,248,030. The average yield is there- fpre 11.1 bushels per acre; winter wheat II.6, and spring wheat 10.3 bushels per acre. The average farm value is 92.6 cents per bushel, against 68.1 cents for the previous crop, a difference due more to foreign than domestic scarcity. The aggregate for oats is 707,737,000 bushels, grown, on 26,998,282 acres, and valued at $195,424,240. This is 27.8 cents per bushel, against 30 cents for the orop of 1887. A comparison of aggregate values shows that the present corn crop is worth only $31,000,000 more than the previous one, wheat $74,000,000 more, oats $5,0<D0,- 000 less. Ex-Gov. R. J. OGLESBY, of Illinois, who vacated the Executive office and man­ sion at Springfield the other day, has left for an extended tour of the Southern States. On his return he will take up his residence at his farm in Logan County, III., having determined to retire from pub­ lic life. THE bulletin of the American Iron and Steel Association gives the following de­ tails of the production of Bessemer steel rails in this county: Total for 1888, 1,528,- 057 net tons; total for 1886, 2,290,197 t6ns. The decrease in 1888, as shown, was 762,- 140 net tons, or 680,482 gross tons, which this bulletin says iB greater than the total production in 1879, when 610,682 gross tons were made. This consumption of steel rails in 1888 was fully 750,000 gross tons less than in 1887, the imports in 1888 haying declined about 77,000 tons as com­ pared with 1887. GSGRGE William KIBBT, a young man who has recently become a resident of Bridgeton, N. J., and who claims to have been an actor, has received letters informing him that he has fallen heir to a small fortune by the death in Chicago of an aped citizen who was formerly a resident of Woodbury, N. J. Six years a«o, the story goes, this gentle­ man was attacked by two tramps on the high road between Woodbury and West- ville, and was crying murder while they were attempting to rob him and using him roughly, when Mr. Kirby appeared and drove the assailants off. Out of grati­ tude for his rescue the old gentleman has left Mr. Kirby a very snug sum of monoy. BBFOBXI. CHICAGO.

Quite a serious accident occurred toWalk- |er Blaine, in alighting from a oab at Hotel Normandie on Saturday, by which he broke the bones in his right leg about three inches above the ankle, but under skillful medical treatment it is expected the fractures will soon heal. The diplomatic corps do not take kindly to Mr. McAdoo's emphatic statement that it is a most absurd thing for tbe United States to send ministers to royal courts where they come in at the "tail of the be­ spangled, befeathered, bedizened diplo­ mats of the world." The typical attache of a legation at Washington is the best all-around sponger in existence, and it is not at all agreeable to contemplate giving up a living salary where rich Americans provide polished floors upon which to dance, and food to sat­ isfy the veriest epicure. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, and once in a while a man of ability appeal's among the corps and women clever and handsome enough to vie with American women, and the British, Chinese, and Mexican Minis­ ters give annual balls that equal in mag­ nificence a rich American's entertainment. The bachelors of the diplomatic corps are particularly interesting and avers® to being called away from the honors show­ ered upon them in this country; for the desire to " wed a dook," be he rake or dead- beat, is too prevalent even among sensi­ ble people. Irs. Francos Hodgson Burnett has pur­ chased a pretty cottage on Massachusetts avenue. She will fill it with her foreign bris-a-brac and take her place again in the literary and social coteries. It has frequently been printed that her youngest sen is the hero in "Little Lord Fauutle- roy," of which she is the author, but few people realize that Mrs. Burnett's Vivien is no longer little, that he is in his teens and taller than his mother. An Episcopal clergyman inNewEngland has written a hymn, a copy of which he sends to Chairmiui Britton, relying ca him to work it in aw®a pa:t of the inaugural ceremonies. He describes himself "as one of the many clergymen of our country who gave their vote to General Harrison at the last election." The hymn has six verses, and begins with the lines: '"God of oar fathers, whoae command From darkness called tha radiant light.' No disposition has been made as yet of this contribution, as the committee on poetry has not been appointed. Indications point to a marriage in the Diplomatic Corps,' and that, too, at no distant date. The Benedict is Mr. Bar­ clay, of the British Legation, whose atten­ tion to the handsome young daughter of Mr. Leiter, of Chicago, has for a year past been the subject of much pleasant com­ ment in seciety. The wedding has not yet been announced, but the matter seems to have been tacitly agreed upon by the friends of the voung people. Some interesting statistics in regard to postoffice matters have been developed by the Postmaster General's report just pub­ lished, and it will no doubt be a matter of surprise to many victims of missent let­ ters to know that over 99 per cent, of all mail matter has been distributed aright during the past year. By the "way, the Senate has deferred action on Gen. New­ berry'^ name as Postmaster of Chicago, and the probabilities are that his appoint­ ment will never be confirmed. Gen. James B. Weaver has decided to permit the House to resume business, in consideration of the promise that his Oklahoma bill shall have attention. Gen. Weaver is a blue-eyed* strong-faced, broad-shouldered man, with a drooping gray mustache, and the nervous strain by which he has accomplished the dead-lock of the House the pa 4 week has left traces of deep weariness in his face. His fili­ bustering tactics have not only n ed his physical powers to the uttermost, but have lost him some good friends, who believed , him really working to injure the measure he ostensibly supported. The report is current that Gen. Weaver, whose term ex- I»ires the 4th of March, intends himself ocating thereafter in Oklahoma, but he denies the truth of the rumor. The bill will doubtless come up for consideration and some action be taken before the in­ augural. The House Committee on Territories has been devoting its time to considering Utah's claims to the honor of statehood. Mr. Richards, the epe >ker for the Terri­ tory, addressed it earnestly at great length. ^ [Minneapolis (Minn.) speolaL] A reporter ot the Tribune, of this city, spent two days In Walsh County, Dakota, inquiring into the alleged destitution of the farmers. The reporter states, that the time was employed In visiting families in their hovels in the extreme western portion of the county, and some of the sights were truly pitiful. WiJsh County is one of the Wealthiest in Dakota. It' is the second from the extreme northwestern portion of the Territory, Cavalier C'ountv being the most northern. It is IN A PRODUCTIVE region, and has prospered accordingly. The east­ ern portion of the county is a level prairie, with scarcely an undulation, except im­ mediately u ijucent to the liver which flows through its boundaries. The western por­ tion of the county is "mountainous, AS the residents of the prairie country view it. There are a continuation of un­ dulations which make of it A rolling surface, which IN TUT ITISTIMWI «'ouUI be called more tlinn a bluff, it IM jlist over these "mountain*" that the |»«»* »»rt v-*f»ti'linn people of Wabdt CntiMly wt>r« ("tiitd.

It is only in rare in­ stances that they are clear of mortgage, however, so that their possession can afford the farmers no relief in their present straitened circumstances. PRISONER AMONG CANNIBALS. 1 Remarkable Experience of an Indiana Youth Darin); m Trip Around the World. tWabash (Ind.) special.] Henry M. Strohm, son of Abraham Strohm of New Paris. Ind., who was last year cap­ tured and held prisoner by cannibals on the Island of Gaun, one of the South Sea group, finally making his escape, has been heard from. The young man is now on liis way home, and when he reaches this section he will have completed the circuit of the globe. Young Strohm has had many startling experiences during his long ^voyage. He lett home March 2,1887, to see the world. He did not run away, but the consent of his parents was given reluctantly. ..The boy was only 16 years old. He made his way to San Francisco, where he shipped before the mast on a whaler bound for the Arctic Ocean. Young Strohm did not find life on the ocean wave all that his fancy painted, and he was subjected to very rough treat­ ment, at which he rebelled. When the ves­ sel put in at tbe Island or Gaun, Strohm watched his opportunity and made his es­ cape from the boat. The Captain instituted a vigorous search, but the fugitive was not discovered and tl)e vessel went on her way, leaving Strohm among the savages and 5,000 miles away from San Francisco. He was captured several times by the natives, who designed fatteninc him for aS choice banquet, but in each case he managed to escape to the set­ tlements. Six months later a vessel arrived at the island, on which Strohm secured passage to Manilla, one of the Philippine Islands, 1,100 miles away. At Manilla Strohm received the kindly offices of. A. It. Webb. United States Consul at that port, who inter­ ested himself in the fugitive. Secretary Bay­ ard wrote to Consul Webb to extend all needed assistance to Strobm, but the Consul answered that Strohm was robust and hearty and appeared well able to care for himself. From Manilla Strohm went to Hong Kong, China, where the United States Con­ sul, who had heard of his case, proffered assistance, which was declined with thanks. From Hong Kong Strohm continued his journey and landed at Sydney, Australia, where, Oct. 18, he shipped before the mast on a vessel bound for London. The boat is duo in London next month, and the young man is expected home soon thereafter. His journey, considering his youth and inexpe­ rience. is one of the most remarkable on record. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Ths Constitutionality of 8tst« LAWS Af­ firmed at Washington. [Washington (D. C.) dispatch.] The Supreme Court of the United States has rendered an opinion in the case of Wil­ liam Baldwin, plaintiff in error, vs. The State of Kansas; appealed from the Supreme Court of the State of Kansas. Baldwin was convicted in Kansas of murder, and ap­ pealed the case on the ground that the jurors who tried him were not sworn ac­ cording to the mode prescribed by the State statutes, and that he was therefore being deprived of his life without due process of law. The court, in an opinion by Justice Blatchford affirming the judgment of the State Court, says that the plaintiff did not raise the constitutional question brought here at the time of the trial, but first made the point in the Supreme Court of Kansas. AND this court therefore has no jurisdiction in the case. The court also rendered an opinion dis­ missing for want of jurisdiction the appli­ cation for a writ of error in the case of George W. Farnsworth, plaintiff in error, vs. The Territory of Montana. Farnsworth was convicted of violation of a statute of Montana Territory making it a misdemean­ or for any person to sell goods as a com­ mercial traveler without having first se­ cured a license. The court also rendered an opinion in the ease of Frank M. Dent, plaintiff in error, vs. The State of West Virginia, in error to the Supreme Court of Ap­ peals of the State of West Virginia. Dent was convicted of unlawfully engaging In the practice of medicine without a diplo­ ma. in violatioi&of a statute of the State which requires every practitioner of medi­ cine to obtain a certificate from the State Board of Health that he is a graduate of a reputable medical college, or that he haa practiced medicine in the State continuous­ ly for ten years, or that he has been found upon examination by the board to be quali­ fied to practice medicine. Bent appealed the Case to the State Court of Appeals, as­ serting that the .*ct was unconstitutional inasmuch as it deprived him of liberty and property without due process of law. con­ trary to the fourteenth amendment to the ;rary Constitution. The Court of Appeale judgment against Dent and this court af­ firm* that decision. DOINGS OF CONGRESS. IMPORTANT MEASURES COHmmED ~ ACTEO UPON.

WHEN the tariff bill was taken up In the Sen - ate on the 14th inst., Mr. Allison, from the Fi­ nance Committee, Reported two new sections which he proposed to offer as amendments. They provide for the payment of a bounty of 1 csnt a pound until April 1893, to the pro­ ducers of sugar testing not less than 80 de- grees lrom beets, sorshurn, or sugar cane, the bounty to be pai&annually from the duties collected on imported sugar. Senator Dawes introduced a bill ior the division of the great Sioux reservation in Dakota, it requires the conBent of the Indians to be obtained to tlie opening of the reservation, and that the fund arising from the sale of the lands shall bo held iu trust for the six different tribes? instoad of being held in a lump sum for the wholo nation. Mr. Hoar introduced a concurrent reso­ lution for the counting of the vote for President and Vice Presidents, which was re­ ferred to the Committee on Privileges and Elec­ tions. It provid s that the two houses of Con­ gress shall assemble in the hall of the House of Representatives on Wednesday (Feb. iii next, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon; that, the President of the Senate shall be the presiding officer; that two parsons shall be appointed tellers on the part of the Senate, and two on flic part of tbe iiouse, to make a list o£ the votes and to report ttye result; to tbe President of the Senate, mfo is to annrouuee the state of tbe vote and the persons elected; and tbat that shall be deemed a declaration of the persons clected President and Vice President of the United States, and shall be entered on the journals of the two bouses. Under the call of States the following bills were introduced in th ) House: To pun'sh the buying and selling of votes; for the establishment of a national military and naval museum in Washington; to refund the interest-bearing debt of the United States; for the construction of a lighthouse and steam fog signal on the outer breakwater at Chicago; for tbe free coinage of silver; to prevent danger to ocean, lake, or river navigation by rafts of logs. Mr. Cowles (N. C.) introduced a bill containing the internal revenue features of the Mills bill and moved its reference to the Committee on Appropriations. Agreed to--yeas, 1^9; nays, 91. Mr. Brower (N. C.) introduced a bill to repeal the tax on tobacco and moved its reference to the Committee on War Claims. Lost--yeas, 102; nays, 117- and the bill was referred to the Ways and Means Committee. The House then proceeded to the consideration of business pertaining to the Dis­ trict of Columbia. THE amendment to the tariff bill, providing for plaoing salt upon the free list, furnished the topic for debate in the Senaie.on the 15th inst., and occupied the entire day. Mr. Springer (111.) called up in the House as the special order the Senate bill for the admission of South Da- kota and the organization of the Territory of North Dakota, and a lengthy debate followed, without act ion. The President transmitted to both houses of Congress a r, port from the Secre­ tary of State, with later correspondence, since Dec. 21, exhibiting the progress of the disturb­ ances in Samoa up to the present date. In his message of transmittal the President says : "In the midst of the disturbances which have arisen at Bumoa such powers have been exercised as seem to be within executive control under the Constitution aud laws, and which appear to accord with our national policy and condition, to restore tranquillity and secure the safety of our citizens through negotiation and agree­ ment witu Great Britain and Germany, which, with our own government, con­ stitute the treaty powers interested In Samoan x'eace and quiet. The attempt haa been made to define more clearly tbe part which tbofie powers shall assume in tbe government of tbat country, while at the same time its auton­ omy has been insist d upon. Germany still asserts, as from the first she haa done, that she has no desire or intention to overturn the native Samoan government or to ignore our treaty rights, and she still invites our Gov­ ernment to join her in restoring peace and quiet. But thus far her propositions on this subject seem to lead to such a preponder­ ance of German power in Somoa as was never contemplated by us and la inconsistent with every prior agreement or understanding, while her recent conduct, as between warring factions, gives rise to the auapicion that she is not con­ tent with a neutral position. A recent collision between the forces from a, German man-of-war stationed in Samoan waters and & body of natives rendered the situation so delicate and critical that the war-ship Trenton, under the immediate command of Admiral Kiuiberiy, was ordered to join the Nlpsic, alrehdy at Samoa, for the better protection of per­ sons and property of our citizens and in furtherance of efforts to restore order and aafety. Tbe views of the executive in respect to the just policy to be pursued wiih regard to this group of islands which lie in the direct highway of the growing and important com­ merce between Australia and the United Statea have found expression in the correspondence and documents which have thus been fully com­ municated to Congress, and the subjec. iu its present stage is submitted to the wider discus­ sion conferred by the Constitution upon the legislative branch of the Government." MR. VEST'S amendment to the tariff bill to make salt free was rejected by the usual party vote on tbe 10th inst. A long debate then took place on tbe tin-plate question. A copy of the proceedings of the NorJi Dakota State­ hood Convention in favor of tbe division of tbe Territory and the adtniasion of North Da­ kota was presented to the Senate. The House again discussed territorial statehood, the claims of New Mexico being advo. aud by Delegate Joseph (N. M.) and BepreBeatative Mansnr (Mo.), while Sir. Voorhtea of Washington voiced the demand ol the people of il.at '.territory for admission. Mr. biruble (Iowa) opposed the admission of New Mexico, * auyiug that a large proportion of the inhab­ itants of the Terr tory were unable to speak or understand the English language, and were not entitled to statehood until tbe.v cwne up to the line of the language and Aniericiui civilization. Mr. DuWra ildaboi said tna , While Idaho was not asking for admission "'to tbe Union, it did aak for an enabling act wnicn would (ix a definite time when it cou.d assume tbe regponsibilitie-t of statehood. 1 he House pasoed a bill constituting Columbus, Ohio, a port of delivery. MB. HOAR, from the Committee on Privileges and Elections, reported back to the Senate with­ out amendment, on the 17th inat., the concur­ rent resolution recently introduce d by him, u to the meeting of the two housea to oount and declare tbe result of the electoral votes.

The ghost picture, for in- *1 stance, in which a shadowy ghost-- , through which material objects a*e vis- " ;' ible--is seen between natural attitudes?^ and occupations. This* is produced by an almost in- \s.J, stantaneous exposure of the figure that'V^ is to do duty as the ghost, followed by full exposure of the figures and prop-* - erties that ore to appear natural. * Another novel trick was shown re- cently in a photograph .which pre- sented the photographer, seated at a t%-' ble playing chess, with himself sitting.-j,: on the opposite side ot the table, while-/-. he himself stood up in the background." •' looking at liis two selves playing. The \^'; figures were all on the negative, which V' ; was produced by three successive ex- posures of the plate, parts thereof be­ ing masked each time by a black velvet" •* 'i shutter. 8till another trick is that by which a person who liked that sort of thing may t appear to be photographed riding upon *- v a flying goose, or a fish, or any other de- *•-£ sired style of ridiculous locomotion. i-jj This is done by the subject holding1 ^ upon his lap a huge piece of white or sky-tiuted card with the fanciful figure , t drawn upon it.

The Convivial Clerk of the House. Before the House ot Representatives was changed from the old hull that is now devoted to the reoeption and ex- hibition of statues of specimen states­ men, the Clerk of the House had an office in what is now the document room. In an adjoining apartment the Clerk kept a barrel of whisky always on tap and not closely guarded. It was usually put in at the beginning of a seaaion, drawn off in a smaller vessel to be con­ veniently used on the Clerk's table, and everybody who was so disposed was free to use the liquor. It did not cost much, for it was not tax4d and it could be bought at 30 or 40 cents a gallon. The free use of it sometimes made even the Clerk of the House frisky. There was one Clerk, who was famous for his size as well as his originality and his thirst, who, after clicking glasses with friends the morning of the last da; session, went to the door of the with a House bill that it was necessary should be passed. ; "The Benate is in executive session," he was informed, and could not admit him.
