BENJAMIN t. BABBITT DEAD. Away Big Soap Manufacturer Passes Alter a Lone Illness. Benjamin T. Babbitt, tBe soap manu­ facturer, died at his home, in New York, after a lingering illness. He was eight/ years old. The profits of his business tempted more than one attack by birds of prey.

In the Episcopal Convention nt Hew York the Committee on Canons present­ ed a report thai they deemed it inex­ pedient to establish a missionary episco­ pate for the colored people, and requested to be difcharged from lurther considera­ tion of the question. Disoassion of the report was postponed. At Philadelphia, Rev. Dr. Thomas Frederic Davies was consecrated Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Michigan. The ceremony occurred in St. Paul's Church, of which Dr. Davies been pastor for many yoars. jU distin­ guished company of bishops, priests, deacons and laymen assisted. Bishop Potter, of New York, preached the sermon*, : Western happening* . Tub Pan-American delegates, on ar­ riving at Detroit, were escorted by a reception committet to the Michigaft Central pier, where four steam yachts were moored. These were boarded and the excursionists treated to a two-hours' sail on the river. A ride about 1h» city and a luncheon at Senator McMillan's residence followed. The train was then taken for Ann Arbor. The visitors were escorted to the University of Michigan, i where a short address was mnde. They were entertained by Prof. H. W. Roger$. An hour later they visited the University buildings, and in the evening a receptioh was held in the library of the institution. At Longstreth, O., 300 Progressive Union miners have begun a strike to compel the Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron Coal Company to recognize their organization in mine affairs and deduct a certain per cent, of wltges to pay the union's assessment. Over 100 Knights of Labor miners remain at work. The last Kansas Legislature passed a bill regulating rates of interest and pun­ ishing any one who took usury. It pro­ vides if excessive interest or usury is charged that the lender is liable to loss of both principal and interest and cannot by law collect either. The firet case of the kind has been decided in the District Court of Topeka. Many years ago David Hutchinson borrowed $8,000 from H. D. Booge, a money-lender,who was secured by are il estate mortgage of §12,000, with ex­ cessive rates of interest. Hutchinson died and Booge sold the notes and mortgage to Hubbell of Des Moines, Iowa, who brought suit for foreclosure against Hutchinson's heirs some months ago. The defendants pleaded usury. The execution of the note and interest was acknowledged, but the jury rendered a verdict for the defend <nts, not giving 'Hubbell anything. They completely wiped out even the debt of $8,000 ac­ knowledged and the interest. The case is causing a sensation among members of the bar and among the money-loaners. A noted Indian hunter of the Fond dn Lac Reservation, in Minnesota, Wa-me- qnance, has died on the reservation at the age of 101 years. His memory went back to the war of IS 12 and long before that. A short time ago, in talking of his life, he stated that the British authori­ ties offered him a big bribe to disclose to them certain movements of the American forces with which he was familiar, but that he refused their offer and was after­ ward connected with the American cam­ paign.

Turner, a brother-in- law of Collins, then opened fire on Tett, and a duel followed, in which Tett was shot dead. News of another big express robbery in Alabama has just leaked out. It involves about $6,000 and occurred at Millsport, in Lamar County. Walter Abercrombie, a young white man. has been arrested charged with the robbery. The night of the robbery the agent of Millsport had in bis possession certain packages whioh were worth about $6,000. By some means the robber learned of it and made his haul. The agent wns in the office alone at night when the robber entered, covered him with a pistol, and made him hand over the money. At the Louisville meeting of' thd> Na­ tional Board of Trade resolntions were passed opposing any modification of the interstate commerce law, especially of the clause prohibiting pooling; favoring national supervision of insurance and uni­ formity of insurance legislation; a reduc­ tion of federal revenues in tbe way which will least embarrass industries and trade; the cousiilerat on by ('on.'i-isss of plans for irrigation, and reciprocity trade rela­ tions with Canada.

The Democratic managers will ask Judse De Wolfe for a writ of mandamus to compel the can­ vassers to count the rejected precincts. The actio*- ~f the canvassers has caused much c: meat. There is talk that if the Leiu» itiut* assembles before the courts pass on the question the Demo­ crats will break the quorum in the Leg­ islature, and Mr. Toole will not be in­ augurated unless it is patent that he is elected without the majority of the re­ jected precinct. The count in Lewis and Clarke County is still in progress, but nothing new has developed. As the re­ turns are now declared officially from every county in Montana the Legislature stands: Senate--Republicans, 8; Demo­ crats, 8. House--Republicans, 30; Dem­ ocrats, 25. On a ballot being taken in the Legisla­ ture of South Dakota for Senators, the vote stood: In the House-- Pettigrew, 108; Bartlett Tripp, 14; Moody, i07; M. H. Day, 14. In the Senate Pettigrew got 41 to Tripp's 4, and Moody 41 to 4 for Day.

The council also resolved to increase Eastern ra lway facilities. A Lisbon dispatch says the public is officially informed th&t the King of Por­ tugal is in a critical condition. The paralysis with which he was partially af­ fected has become total, and there seems to be no hope of his recovery. A dispatch from Venice says: An earthquake has been experienced in tbis section. Several houses in a village near here were destroyed. A cabIiE to the New York Maritime Exchange announces that Hippolyte has been unanimously elected President of Hayti. In all njnety-one votes weie cast at tne election. A committee is being formed at Ber­ lin to consider the question of digging a ship canal to connect Berlin with the Baltic Sea. It is proposed to cut a canal from Berlin to the nearest point on the River Oder, and thence to utilize the river itself by dredgiug and otherwise improving it ai a ship canal to far as the Baltic Sea. FRESH AND NEWSY. % In the Protestant Episcopal COftnfen* tion at New York a resolution of Rev. Dr. Huntington, of New York, for a joint committee to prepare a standard prayer-book for 1892 was, after some de­ bate, adopted. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: * As before, the money market in the one point of anxiety. • Kates are higher, but perhaps ap­ prehension is somewhat lessened. Country still calls for money largely, but reports from nearly all interior centers of supply show that the supply is considered ample for commercial needs. There is firmness and increased de- maud at Kansas City, and some stringeucy at Cleveland, but with an easier tendency. At Milwaukee the market is brisk at 1 per cent.; at Philadelphia customers are supplied at 6 to 7 per cant. The volume of trade continues largo; bank clearings ex­ ceed last year's, • railroad earnings are encouraging, and eastbound shipments from Chicago are heavy. At Chicago the dry goods trade for the week falls below that of the oorre- spounding week last year, and receipts of wool and lard fall off one-half, but coal receipts are larger, and receipt ̂ of grain and provisions show a good increase. St. Paul rejoices in the move­ ment of "Minnesota's largest crop,"and railroad reports indicate that Northwestern lines are •hoked with the enormous receipts froni farms.' Cleveland notes activity in all lines, with small sales of ore because unsold supplies are scarce. The iron trade is still healthy. The wool trade is still dull, and while there is fair movement of dress goodB and en­ larged discounts have caused more business in knit goods, the demand for men's woolens is strictly moderate. The cotton manufacture is thriving and the trade in goods satinfactory. Speculation tor higher prices in wheat has not been active since the last Government report, and heavy Northwestern receipts, with ecanty exports, combine to depress prices, which fallen 2}g cents for the week. Corn has declined a quarter, and oats l'/j cents, while pork prod­ ucts are a little lower. Coffee has yielded a quarter, and is weak. The coal business is bet­ ter. Tho price of raw sugar has again declined an eighth, and of refined a quarter. The busi­ ness failures number for thi TTnitwl Stn.t.en IK'i. and for Canada 41. For the corresponding week last year the figures were 2(iti failuxus in the United Htates and 22 in Canada. WILL SERVE THEIR COUNTRY. Beeent Appointment* to Position* hi tbe Qov- Sn-vIC*. .

At Cincinnati, a car on the Mount Au­ burn inclined plane at the head of Main street, which rises between 230 and 300 feet in a space of perhaps 2,000 feet, be­ came 'unmanageable, rushed down the plane, and was dashed to pieces. Eight persons were locked up In the car, of whom five were killed and all of the others badly hurt. The dead are: Judge William M.­ Dickson. aged H3, Michael Knciss, Mrs. Caleb Ives, Mrs. Mary G. Errett, and Joseph McFadden, Sr. The wounded are: Mrs. Agnes Hostetter, Miss Lillian Oskamp, fatally, Joseph McFadden, Jr., seriously, George Miller, fatally, and Jos­ eph Huette, aged 14, badly cat. Several other persons who were near the scene of the disaster were hurt by flying fragments. Miller was standing on the cor­ ner of Mulberry and Main streets and was struck by the roof of the car. He is still unconscious. Huette was badly cut about the legs by flying fragments of the car. There are two tracks upon tho inclined plane, over which two cars are drawn-- one ascending and the other descending-- by two steel-wire cables wound around a drum by an engine at the top of the hill. The ascending car having reached the top of the incline, Charles Goebel attempted to force down the lever which shuts off the steam nnd stops t'lw engine. For some reason the apparatus refused to work, and the car rushed on upon the iron railing. Goebel bent all his strength upon the lever, but it failed to bulge. On the car rushed madly with the tremendous power that drew it on. The iron work pierced deep into the wood Mooring, and still the cable tugged. Finally, with a grating noise, the cable slipped from the brass clamps that held them, the bolts that secured them opened, and the car was free. The passengers un­ conscious of the doom impending, were about to step from the vehicle as it shot downward on its mission of death. Tbe passengers, who had arisen, fell together on the flooring of the car. Down the plane of several hundred feet it shot, and, plunging fiercely upon the railing at the bottom, dashed it to pieces. The car struck, shot far out upon Main street, and was shivered into a thousand frag­ ments. The iron gate that formed the lower end of the truck on which the car rested was thrown sixty feet down the street The top of the car was lying almost as far away in the gutter. The truck itself and the floor and seats of the car formed a shapeless wreck, mingled with the bleed­ ing and mangled bodies of the Passengers. Mrs. Ives was dead when taken from the wreck. The others named in the list of killed died of their Injuries soon after. The intensest excitement prevailed and numberless inquiries were made by friends who feared members of their families might be in the fated car. The horror ot the passengers locked in the other car and compelled to await the coming of the doomed car and its inevitable crash beside them at the foot of the track may be imagined. Judge Dickson, who is among the dead, was one of the first of the wounded to die. He was a retired lawyer, and had been a warm personal friend of Abraham Lin* coin. He was crushed, and his head and face were cut. He was conscious when 4«ken from the WTeck, but unable to talk. Mr. Kneiss was a tearher in the third In­ termediate school, and liyed at 14 Euclid avenue. Mount Auburn, with his family. He was on his way home to dinner. His body was badly disfigured and was re­ moved to the morgue. Mrs. Ives was the wife of Caleb Ives, treasurer of the Globe soap works at 3o Water street, and lived at Itiverdale. She was on her way to vis­ it her son, Fr4ir,kliu Ives, and his bride. Her Peak was broken. Joseph McFadden, Sr., was a stone cutter of 110 Sannders street, Mount Auburn. Miss Oskamp is the daughter of Henry Oskamp. Charles Goebel, who was at the lever and had the unspeakable horror to find himself unable to stop the engine, savs that he complained that the "cut oft" was not working properly. "I told the engi­ neer about it this morning," he said, "and the engineer told me he had repaired it. But it was evidently still out of order, and tbis must have been what was the cause of tbe accident" Engineer Howard Wor- den could not be found, although this is not to be considered as evidence that he is hiding. The inclined plane on which the disaster happened is the oldest in the city. It was built twenty-one years ago, and this is the first accident attended with the loss of life at any of the foqr inclined planes that are in almost constant use. It is too early for an examination into the trouble with the engine, but there have been only two similar cases in the history of inclined planes here. In both the others the engine was got under control before the cables were broken. James M. Doherty, secretary of the company operating the Mount Auburn inclined plane, says that the cause of the accident was a little piece of iron in th* cut-off valve and was found the next day after the mi hap by the men who had taken the machinery apart How it came there no one y e t k n o w s . I t w a s n o t h r o k e n o f a n y o f the surrounding machinery as far as ha* yet been ascertained. By occupying a space required for the rod to move in it so disarranged the machinery as to render it impossible for the engineer to shut off tbe steam. iM0RXr0NrlSM rx NORWAY.

The inter-state commerce commission has rendered three important de­ cisions. In the case of Lenord and Chappell against the Chicago aud Alton railroad the commission decides that car­ riers can rightfully substitute for tbe j ^ | practice of charging carload rates on 24 I3LS ;»81 cattle, irrespective of weight, the rule that Hi1"?)* '970 whil® a cariotis na:ned » minimum weight 41 180 .'.m 'or a carload is prescribed, and any excess ^iHT'ora ow lhe m,nimum is to be charged 301337; *970 'or the hundred ponnds in 43 1190 .904 proportion to the carlot. rate. The coin- }/' -2rr Plainanfc» urged the commission to obi .noi, conform to the State laws and rulings of 30] 774 .9W Kansas and Missouri State commissioners CO] U91 .94H under which shippers of cattle to points *ri'hin the State had the right to load cars without reeard to weight at a stated price a car. The commission held, however, that State action could not be allowed to control in matters within the Federal ; jurisdiction, and that the grant to the t Federal ̂ government of the power to rega- ; late inter-State commerce is full and i complete and can not be narrowed or en- ' croaehed upon by State authority either directly or indirectly. In an opinion on the case of McMorran & Harrington, grain dealer* at Port Huron, Mich., against the Grand Trunk and the Chicago & Grand Trunk roads, 19 233' BIS Commissioner Schoonmaker says: 67, ?9i !9iJ» "Though rates are not required to be 63' 665 .90? made on a mileatre basis, nor local rates 6 7 r i i c q - i c ° r r e s p o n d w i t h t h e d i v i s i o n s o f a j o i n t go 57,s | through rate over the same line.

The complaint that an 8-cent rate on grain from Port Huron to Buffalo was un- reasonable as compared with a through 08! .956 rate of 15 cents a. hundred pounds from T«"r4« • to Buffalo was not sustained, but 134 !'J45 rno K°0(* reason having been shown for a 35 !k43 I higher rate on gram prod nets that portion 243 .942 1 of the complaint is sustained and the pro­ fit 934 ' ducta ordered to be carried at the sams ! rate 118 eraln- 331L919 Commissioner Morrison In deciding the 274|-919 { case of Abbott against the East Tennessee railroad, which is charged, with illegal dis­ crimination in lumber rates from Ten­ nessee points to Boston, says: '•Combined rail and water competition at a longer distance point does not justify a greater charge for the shorter distance, while the shorter distance point is main­ tained by the carrier at points where the competition is of greater force and more controlling than at tha longer distance point; such greater charge is not justified by the tact that local rates have been first paid on lumber to the longer distance points, nor by the fact that the freight is shipped in cars from the longer distance points which brought machinery to those points and for which profitable return loads were not always to be had, nor by a difference in the bulk and value of the lumber when the published rate sheets put the lumber in the same class and at the same rate. "While distance is not always a con­ trolling element in determining what is a reasonable rate there is ordinarily no better measure of railroad service in carryirg goods than the distance they are carried; and when the rate of freight charges over one line in sending freight carried from a neighboring territory to the same market is considerable greater than over other lines for distances as long or longer such greater rate is held to be excessive and should be reduced."

Secretary Noble says thai, his de­ cision in the rerated pension ca$e of Senator Manderson may b? regarded as a precedent in a number of other similar cases. Senator Manderson. however, occupied a somewhat different position from the majority of pensioners recently rerated, the increased pens'on having baen allowed him without applica­ tion or knowledge on his part. There are about thirty employes of the pension office whose pensions lfava been rerated. In some instances this reratlng was done upon their application and in other cases it was done without their knowledge. oOiiio Oi tiiciio ciisBi were aiiuweu by Com­ missioner Tanner while they were on ap­ peal before the Secretary of the Interior. The present acting commissioner, Hiram Smith, was rerated, but it is understood that he made an application to that-effect and that the legal requirements were com­ plied with. There are others in the pen­ sion office as well as outside, whose pen­ sions were rerated and who received ar­ rearages from 16,000 to $15,000, and under I this ruling in the Manderson case [ all are characterized as being illegal. It is I thought that the new commissioner of pen si ̂ ,i8 will have this question to j consider among the first duties which he j will he called upon to perform. The com- | missioner bas the right to recover ail money illegally paid on account of pen- | sions, and in cases where the arrearages | have already been expended the govern- : ment can confiscate all pension payment. I It is said to be the desire of the Se retary . of the Interior to enforce as far as prac­ ticable the collection of the inoneyj and that active measures will be adopted as i soon as a commissioner of pensions has been appointed. Home of the employes of j the pension office whose pensions were ' rerated have left thfe government service . since the action in their case was taken. The great majority are still in srovernment employ, and, of course, it will be com- ; paratively easy to compel a repayment, j providing they have not spent the money, j In such an event the government could ! levy upon tbeir salaries as well as their pensions.

DeWitt Talmage, D. D., Is pastor, has been, for the second time in history, totally destroyed by Are. A* 2:15 o'clock in the morning a police#; : man discovered flames issuing from one o|«ii small window over the main entrance, and|" 1 rushing to the nearest signal-box, sent i% an alarm. The firemen found the fire hadj assumed large proportions, and addidionaf. alarms, calling alt available aparatust were at one® sent in. It became evenff?; that the edifice was doomed to destruction It burned like a tinder box, and the fir man, despairing of saving it, directed the! efforts to the adjoining property. Many - : of the occupants of the neighboring dweU^ ^ incs were already awake, and tbe polic#: proceeded to arouse those who were sleep*- Ing. The three-story frame -structure aj|S H53 Sherraerhorn street, addjoining thff^?- Church on <he east side, was the first t#i$ - take fire, and 855, a similar structure. " followed; 357 was also damaged. On the west side of the chnrch th§^fi-. flames extended to two brick dwellings^ and on the opposite side of Scfcermerfcor* * street a row of three-story brick dwelilingsyi '/ 888 to 848, suffered from the intense heafej#, Window glass was broken and woodwork!* •oorehed, ' The residents of the neighborhood, awak»' enod either by the roar of the flames or by the pounding of the police upon theij" doors, became frishten&d and rushed ouf Sft half-dressed and In their night clothes^ hf. and tbe police had great difficulty in as**- •suring them that they were in no danger. 'Fortunately there was no loss of life oir;Cf' jlimb. The police carried out one old lady '/ from 887 Schermerhorn street and placed ^ her in a house at a safe distance. All thf ' other inmates were able to care for them* I .•elves. But while the firemen and the poHco^- * worked for tbe salvation of propertj nntjl- people tho doemod building was ranidly being consumed and in an hour's time only " *' tottering walls remained. Dr. Talmag^, was on the scene soon after the first alarn> and did not leave until he had seen tbi r ;v edifice which had been his pride laid ii| - ; ashes. Tbe origin of the fire is unknown, but Is thought that it may have been caused by« lightning. 1 The low on the church building, includ* ing the organ, which was one of the finest In the country, is $'50,000. It is saia Mr . ̂ be covered by insurance in a number ot comnanies. Tho building was of four* * teenth century Gothic architecture and' *, was dedif-ared Feb. 2?, 1874. It was of ' brick, with stone trimmings, with # frontage of 150 feet and a depth of 119. . feet, to which had recently been added an • extension 60 feet wide and 12 deep. Tho* . seating capacity was 2,800 and it waf^C3 always fully taxed at thePunday services,.4.fJ The previous structure, which was buil| : of corr uarated iron, was destroyed by fir#;; Sunday morning Dec. 2?, 1872. "Hint fire;™-??3 was also of unexplained origin. rf,«0 Dr. Talmage has issued' the following " i address: To THB Propm:--.|ly sadden calamity ^ we are without a church The building! 3i <| conssecreated by so much that is dear to u|4." .< is in ashes.

Shortly" after midnight a b'a?e was started in the -* ] combined flouring and saw mill of R. L. . Faazee, supposedly by a superheated jour--. , nal. An alarm was turned in, but beforsf: ' > the fire department arrived the mil| •' was enveloped in flames and with - its contents, including nearly 30,- ./l 000 bushels of wheat, was entirely de­ stroyed. Sparks from the burning: mill fell in the lumber-yard of C. JP. Wilcox and ignited a pile of shavings. From this...; v,,, the fire spread to the huge piles of lumber-, .. and before it was brought under control . i had destroyed nearly si, 0H0,000 feet of^-V J hardwood and pine lumber. For a time , J the town people were panic-stricken, indi-p \ cations being that the whole tô jn would|?v I; be laid in rums. Telegrams were sent to Detriot requesting that an engine and the volunteer department of the city be sent here to assist in fighting the flames. Later; when tbe fire bad burned itself out"- v and all danger was past, the rawest for aid^'-V*i was countermanded. As yet only an approximate estimate of the pecuniary loss can be given. Fraree's mill, which was one of the largest in the State, cost.» ^ $50,000, and the grain in store was worth ^ $35,000. On this there is only a small insurance. Wilcox's loss will not, fall, far "-^1 short of $50,000, with an insurance of a boat one-third that amount; AS BY A MIRACLI 22 0 50 2J|0.49 5 0.21 14j0.40 122} 1710.48 15'J 15 0.37 9J0.6;! 2.) 0.43 21|0.6ti 2.) 0.8i) 15 (1.37 7 03 25 223 34 103 217(120 32 206 1 34 11 0.22 14 0.3i? 17 0.56 6:0.26 19 0.41 9,0.27 13 0.3; 0.1' 0.30 9.10 21 201! 27 203) 33 20!1941 S3 so; 1921 37 l<;'192j 19 an! 27 2:1188| 27 28 187| 40 54 200, 7e« retary Windom's Northwestern education fits him to flavor revision, while Secretary Blaine bas, wltHn a few days, expressed himself decidedly in the hope that Con­ gress will take up the qnestion at once and dispose of It.
