AT Wapakoneta, Ohio, two neighbors, Joseph Wolph and John Miller, fought with an ax and hatchet at^out a fence which divides their property. They both present a terrible aspect, and are in a very critical condition. WIU.IAM MACLAIX, a merchant at Walnut, Kan , has lost considerable prop­ erty as the result of robberies, and he set a gun-trap. About midnight the trap was sprung, the gun exploded and mortally wounded the intruder, who is unidentified. Ar San Jose, Cal., Robert Harney, aged 13, met with a frightful aciident In cleaning his gun. There was a charge of powder in one oJ t! e barrels, and he bad been to'd by another boy that the proper way to get this out was to place the butt end in the tire and blow down the birrel. The powder would then burn out through the touch hole Young Harney tried the experiment, and, as a result, the charge was fir>-d down his throat His palati wa* shattered and the muscles badly torn.

THE particulars of an attempt at train robbery in California have ust come to light The Los Angeles express stopped at Pix:ey on its way south. When about to start again the traihmen were warned that thrt'e men, masked and armed, were waiting in the shadow of the tank-house just beyond the depot They had been loitering abont during the afternoon and were seen at the last minute by a Atinaman, who gave the alarm. The train was backei some dis­ tance and then ran by the ambush at very high speed. No clew to the would- be robbers has been found. It i- a fa­ vorite plan of robbers to board a train just as it is pulling out of the station. A TERRIBLE accident occurred near Can­ yon Station on Gieen River, some seventy miles east of Tacoma, Wash., caused by a landslide on the Northern Pacific track. Sixty workmen were sent to the locality to repair recent washouts on the railrord. While thus employed at the base of a high blutf extend­ ing from tlie river, several thousand yards of earth suddenly tumbled upon those beneath, killing twe've men out­ right, carrying 200 yards of railroad track and two men Into the ri\er below, burying several others, some of whom it is thought may be rescued aliva Re­ lief t ains were forthwith sent from both sides of the disaster, and were at last report working hard to rescue the buried men. AT Kansas City, Mo, the balmy wind which had been blowing from the south whipped around to the northwest and in half an hour a regular norther was raging in that vicinity. It began sleeting and this was driven before the wind with su h force that it was almost impossible to face it The norther changed into a blizzard and swept over the whole State of Kansas. It snowed heavily and the wind blew almost a hurricane, driving the light snow and sleet into drift* in every direction. Reports come in slowly from Kansas, as the wires are down in every direction. All telegraphic com- munnication with Denver was cutoff for several hours by the poles on a long stretch of country west of Ellis, Kan., being down. The wind reached the force of a hurricane all over the western portion of Kansas and did great damage in several places. Trains on tho Union Pacific, Santa Fe, and Southern Kansas roads wore from three to five hours late, and the indications were that the drifts will bo so large that the roads will un­ dergo a complete blockade. A FEW days ago a finely dressed man drove up to the residence of Hiley Crera- ans, a farmer living near Rock ford, O , and asked Mr. Cremans if ho wanted to sell his farm. Of course he would if he could get his price, which was $5,000. This the gentlemanly stranger agreed to pay, giving Mr. Cremans $100 down, and agreeing to pay the balance in ten days. In the meantime stranger No. 2 made his appearance wanting to buy a farm. He said Mr. Creman-' was just the farm he wanted. He questioned Mr. Cremans as to what he bad sold it for. Being told $5,000, he said he would have given 58,000. This excited the old gentleman, when No 2 suggested that" he might buy No. loff, and if he could do so he could find him (No. 2) at Huntington, Ind. Stranger No. 1 happened along tft£*next day and agreed to take $1,000 and give up the bill of sale. Mr Cremans lost no time in paying the $1,000. He at once set out for Huntington to find h's $8,000 stranger No. 2, and is still looking for him.. , SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. ' THE entire plant of the Dallas, Texas, Dressed Be?f and Packing Company was consumed by firo. The loss Is 8200,000; insured for $51,000. THE steamship Almadlne, from Bruns­ wick, Ga., to Liverpool, has arrived at Norfolk. Va., with Captain E. W. Hill and crew of the schooner M. E. Gilders- lee, which foundered off the coast of Georgia. Captain Hill had his wife and three children on the schooner with him and they Were all rescued. FIRE broke out in tho Bertlg Block, Paragould, Ark., destroying Bertlg Brothers' famous dry-goods and cloth­ ing store, Dr. Hicks' drug store, Galla- more's saloon. J. H. Bryant's saloon, M. G. Newsome's grocery store, and E. Goldman's dry goods. There was a heavy snowstorm at the time, which probably saved the town from destruc­ tion. It took heroic efforts to save the Postoffice and Opera House blocks. The loss is estimated at $100,000. J. R. COLEMAN, an American engaged in business at Guanajuato, Mexico, has arrived home, and brings particulars ot ah accident wh'ch took place killing of twelve peogie and the seri­ ous Injury of nine others Several hundred people had as««®bled in a bull­ fighting arena to witness a fight be­ tween two goats, wheu a part of the amphitheater gave way. The heavy timbers fell on tho motely crowd, crush­ ing men and women beneath their weight * THERE was a serious wreck on the Cincinnati Southern Road. Express train No. 8, which left Chattanooga for Cincinnati at 6:30 p. m., ran off the tra:k six miles out of Chattanooga and 150 yards south of the Ten­ nessee River bridge. The engine tumbled down a b'g embank­ ment, completely wrecking itand killing fireman Pat Wolff and Injuring the engi­ neer. The baggage, mail, express, and smoking cars jumped tho track, but did not go down the embanument The trainmen were badly shaken up, but not seriously injured. No passengers were hurt. A tramp stealing a ride was badly injured. The ladies' car and two sleep* eis «id not leave the track, and were -taken back to the city to be held until the wreck can be cleared. A broken rail is supposed to have been the causo of the accident THE NATIONAL CAPITAL* A TELEPHONE message at Baltimore, Md., from Washington reports that a cyclone and waterspout struck that city. Seven persons were killed and Metzer- ott hall was on fire. The storm struck Baltimore and communication with Washington was cut off. Says a dispatch from New York: A terrible ^vind and rain storm is advancing up the coast 'J olographic communication with points south of Washington was cut off. A dispatch from Washington said that the worst storm ever experienced in that city was raging and wires in all directions were going down.

A MAIL train on the Moscow-CancaaftS Railway was stopped at a point near Vla ii-Kavkas Ku-sia, by a band of rob­ bers, who killed the engineer and guard, secured 5'.),000 rubies and escaped. THREE children belonging to an En­ glish family named Trump were suffo­ cated in their home in Rue Dominique, Paris, a red hot stove having set fire to the bedstead in th^ absence of td>s. chil­ dren s parents. GENERAL NOTES. . HALF of the business portion of Mid- dlebury, Vt, was burned by fire. The loss will probably reach $150,000. THE President has rescinded the or­ der transferring the military reserva­ tion of Fort Marcy, N. M., to the In­ terior Department for dispos tion under the law, and he now directs its use as a military post until further orders. THE Pacific Mail steamer China, which arrived at San Francis o from the Orient, was struck on her outward trip by a tidal wave, First Ott.cer Smith was on the bridge at the tima "I saw an im­ mense wall of water dead ahead," he said. "As it came on us there was an overhanging curl to <t like a breaker. The steamer poked her nose into a big mountain of water, and the next minute^ everything was floating on the deck. I ban ly saved myself from being washed overboard. Tho steerage steward, who was forward, was caught by a wave and washed the whole length of the ship, and taken out of the steering gear with his leg broken. The iron door of the butcher shop was torn ftom its hinges. One life boat was washed from its fastenings, and another stove in." It is believed that the wave was caused by the Japan earthquake.

Negotiations between Fonseca and the Junta have been broken off, and both part;es are preparing for war. It was later positively stated that the dictator had resigned in favor of Peix- otte. The news that Fonseca had re­ signed, says a dispatch from Kio do Janeiro, spread through the city like wildfire. Everywhere it was received with enthusiastic cheers and exclama­ tions of satisfaction- The provinces have not yet been lieard from, but it is believrd from the advices hitherto re­ ceived In regard to the growing opposi­ tion throughout the country to Fon- seca's supremacy that the news of his downfall will everywhere be received, with the same satisfaction as at the capital.

' Nearly every politician in the country had his eyes upon thn Supreme Council of the Farmers' Alliance at indianap- olia The Alliance has not been a polit­ ical organization, and it was the un­ certainty whether it would declare in fa­ vor of taking a hand in the saving of the country, which will be in the regular or­ der of ih:ngs next year, or not, that 'kept al.ve so much of interest among the professional sav­ iors. Then, too, the National F. M. B. A. was also in sos#on at tho same time Mid place, which tended not a little to excite speculation as to the probable outcome. There were present nearly all the men who have attained prominence in this movement, among them those whose portraits are presented in this article. Upon the assembling of tho Supreme Couticil Mayor Sullivan delivered an address of welcome, to which J. F. Till­ man, secretary of the executive commit­ tee, responded. At the open meeting on the first evening President Polk de* livered his annual address. lie began by calling attention to the grave responsibilities which rest upon the members of tho Supreme Council and predicting glorious results if the power of the all'ance was wisely directed. The Epeaker, after presenting an argu­ ment showing discrimination against the agricultural classes, proceeded to state their demands, saying: "We demand government control of transportation; we demand the retention of our public domain for the use of our own oeopie; we demand the prohibition of gambling In futures of agri^jiltiyr^l JERRY SIMPSOIT. and mechanical products; wo demand the free coinage of silver; we demand that no class or interest shall be taxed to build up any other class or interest; we demand the election of United States Fenators by the direct vote of the people; we demand a graduated tax on incomes; but. more important than nil these, broader and deeper than all these, and first of all these, is the transceudentally paramount demand that our nat onal bank system be abolished and that the people's money shall be issued to the people direct by the government at a low rate of interest and in sufficient volume to meet the requirements of our growing population and trade. - "The supreme issue before the Ameri­ can people is and must be financial re­ form. These powers and functions, de­ signed by the framers of our constitu­ tion for the benefit of the j-eople, and which have been stealthily usurped and appropriated by corporate and moncrpo- listic combinations, must be restored to the people, to whom they rightfully be­ long This can bo done only through persistent effort, unswerving fidelity to principle and harmonious,united action." Early in a business session I resident Polk laid before the convention the of­ ficial letter addressed to liim by Chair­ man W. S. McAllister, of Mississippi, requesting to be heard, in behalf of the 1 r. LIVINGSTON complaints and protests of the anti-Sub- Treasury Alliance men. The letter produced the wildest con­ fusion and disorder. Several members yelled out. "We don't want to hear any­ thing from McAl ister. lie has done more to destroy us than all our enemies put together. Down with his trick to sow discord among us." Finally a motion to appoint a commit­ tee of five to consider the protest pre­ vailed by a two thirds majority, and the convention also immediately adopted a resolution to stand by tho Sub-Treasury plan. It was arranged that Dr. Yea- mans present the protest before the Na­ tional Alliance, and that a reply be per­ mitted. Later, tho committee of the antis v as informed that they could not be heard unless they furnished the coun­ cil with a copy of the protest. This tho antis refused to do un ess they could present their protest in i erson, ud that ended negotiations between u*e two wings of the Alliance. Discussions upon many questions were spirited, but resulted in no decisive ac­ tion. The election of officers resulted tn the ee ection ot L. L. Polk, President; J. H. Loucks, of South I.akota, Vice President: J. H. Turner was re-eiected Secretary-Treasurer, and J. F. Willetts, of Kansas, National Lecturer. The committee on confederation of the various industrial organizations is composed of five representatives from ea< h of sit organizations, and was chosen by tho latter for the purpose of calling a congress of all the labor and industrial classes It had been decided previously to convene the congress at Washington, on Feb. 2?, but the South and West made such strong objections to that placo that it became necessary to decide upon some other location. The matter occasioned lengthy discussion, and ended in referring tho question to a s b-committee, consisting of"* Messra Terrell, Taubeneck and Baumgarten, with instructions that either Indianap­ olis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago, or Springfield, III., be chosen. This com­ mittee will make a decis on soon. A comnjitiee of four, consisting of- CL W. MaCune and U. Baumgarten, F. W. Gllruth and ,1. B. Steele, was appointed to prepare the address to the laboring people, setting forth the objects and purposes of tho February meeting, which address is to be published within twenty days. The committee on constitution sub- Witted,|.Je9gthy report, mehdattoawa* adopts amendment* tha Bute buslacrta agent*, who hate heretofore been members of the council, were excluded from mem­ bership. An amendment aimed against the Knizht-< of Labor was also adopted^ Under the constitution persons w.th "mix* d occupations" were ent.tied to membership, but this clause was re« pea'od and the di^cu- sion showed a de- terminat on on the part of the Alliance to confine it* membership to farmers and farm laborers. The clause which provide* for a na­ tional legislative council com posed of the various State Alliance presidents wa^ stricken out. A tutsti ute was adopted con titutinff a committee of five to be elected by the council and to act as ad­ visory to tho Pre ident. Another amend­ ment permits females to pay the tec capita tax and become the basis of rep* resentation as well as males. i A resolution was> offen d, asking Con­ gress to pension only honorably dis­ charged an 1 indigent soldiers an1 to prov.de for the rayment of all pensions by Issuing Sub-Treasury notes for that purpose. Jerry Simpsoh and General Weaver let the opposition, and Con­ gressman Livingston, President Folk and others from the South favored its adoption. When put to a \ote the reso­ lution was carried by a decide i majority^ The scandal growing out o* the con­ nexion of the State agents with the National Union Company was called to c w. M'CUNB. irOBTHER*. the at'ention of the council by the sub­ mission of a report which recommended that the National Union Company be indorsed by the council. The whole matter was laid upon the table. A reso­ lution was then adopted declaring that the council was not responsible lor the acts of the business agents. The Ocala platform was approved with but two changes in the word­ ing of the Sub-Treasury p^nk Where that section now reads "shall loaih money" upon imperishable farm products it Is changed to "shall issue money," and ^here it reads "not mor i than 2 percent interest" the last word is changed to "tax." The report was de­ ceived with cheers. The first official boycott ever declared by the Aliianee was ordered against the clothing exchange of Rochester, N. Y. Some 13,000 varment makers are now locked out, and the Alliance denounced the concern as a trust, and ordered the State Alliance to investigate as to stores that sold exchange goods and refuse to, buy thom. The resolution instructing alliance congressmen not to take part in party caucus was defeated and a substitute adopted asking them not to participate in a caucus "if the Ocala demands were likely to be sacrificed."

At the recent meeting of the leartted British Association there was a dis­ cussion of the difference in the wages of men and women'doing the same work. The conclusion seemed to be that there is no great difference, after all, and therefore not much to dis­ cuss. The same matter is debated now and then in this country. All right- thinking people will agree that a woman is entitled to the pay which a man would receive for the same work, equally well done. * Nevertheless, this does not mean that Alice Jones, who is a clerk in Rupert & Co.'s dry goods store, and who stands at the counter beside James Stark, should have the same weekly wages as be. It is the uni­ versal custom to put more work and heavier upon the men, and usually the greater responsibility is laid on them. Moreover, it is a matter of common experience that men are less frequent­ ly compelled by illness to be absent from their work, and their power of endurance is, in general, greater. This is not all, for while it takes one man to marry one woman, the man usually continues at his employ­ ment after marriage, while the woman does not. It follows that a man, be­ ing more likely to stay and to learn the ins and outs of trade, is worth more to an employer tban a woman who may marry and leave him at any time. It follows also that in any employ­ ment where men and women are at work together, the average experience of the men is the greater. These facts do not excuse unfair- neas in giving wages to men and women, but they do explain away some things that seem unfair, and that turn out not to be so.--Youth's Companion. A SlUslonarjr Joke. One story from the American Board is almost too good to be true, viz.: That one Pittsfleld lady reported to the committee th&t she could spjare live rooms, but that they must s^jjfk her one live missionary, a man from the Cannibal Islands preferred, and if he had been a little gnawed so much the better. The committee rose to the occasion and sent her a Mr. Nord- hoff, formerly of the Fiji Islands. We do not see how they could have done better unless they had assigned to her house an Eaton family.--Con­ gregationalism Girls In Tnricey.

Hovey, whi h occurred at Indianapolis, was a shock that Indianians wero not pre­ pared to receive, although it did not !rome unexpected to those who have lately been more or less Intimate with him. When ho became Governor It was with health as vig­ orous as one could look for in a man .68 years oJ age. During the summer of 1889 he was at times confined to his room by illness, but it was nothing of a dangerous char­ acter. Early in the year following he GOV. A. p. HOVKY. was attacked by la grippe, and that led to the Immediate cause of his death--heart failure. For weeks ia grippe and its compli­ cations kept him in his room, and when he was able to leave it a great change for the worse was observable in the man on* e so robust. Two months ago it was suggested by friends close to him that a trip to Mex­ ico would do him good. lie did not readily fall in with the idea, and to the last would i)ave been willing to abandon the journey had it not been for hi? friends. He left the city with his paity on Oct 31st, th eir absence to cover thtee weeks. Crossing the alkali deserts he began to show feelings of discomfort, and reaching the City of Moxico ihe air of the hig^ altitude affected him so much that it was decided to return home at once. The party reached homo with tho Governor a very s:ck man. From that time on he would have his hours of feeling better and his hours of relapses The rainy weather and the heavy atmosphere checked improvement, it becoming more and more difficult to restore the respiratory organs to their proper functions. On the day of his death he himself realized that his condition was extreme­ ly critical, but appeared to be hopeful-. His mind was clear, and be talked oc­ casionally in a reminiscent way. His messenger, Ctto Pfatilin, an old veteran who attended him all through the war as a bugler, was constantly at his bed­ side, tenderly and devoted caring lor him. During his waking hour" the Gov­ ernor persisted in talking with Pfatliin about war times, recalling wl h remark­ able accuracy the scenes of blood, an<} carnage, and triumph through which they passed side by side. "Otto," the Governor said, holding out his hand to the old bugler, "several per­ sons have asked me since I got home why I didn't go over the old battlefield of Champion's Hill when at Vicksburg. Otto, there was no pleasure to me in re­ visiting the scene where I lost so many gallant boys of my command. That was a fierce battle, lasting only about two hours, but with the superior position of Pemberton and the failure of Mc- Clernand to obey Grant's order and come to my assi tance, bringing with him in­ formation from Grant as to Pemberton's intentions, we were outcla^se l. O, if McClernand only hai obeyed Grant!" The Governor showed much emotion and Otto stroked his forehead, assuring him that Mc Jem and was clearly to blame for the result, and theold warrior sank into peaceful sleep again. As the day wore on liss breathing be­ came more and more difficult. Dr. Hayes said that the iramcd'ate cause of the patient's dangerous condition was the damp atmosphere, which impeded his respiration. He said that clear weather would do for the sufferer what medicine could not and anx ously tele­ phoned to signal service headquarters for information regarding the indica­ tions. The answer came that it would continue cloudy an I rainy all day, with a probable change to snow. The doctor's countenance changed to an expression of desiair as he turned irom the telephone. The words were like a death-knell to the sufferer up-stairs. The Governor rapidly grew weaker, every breath was drawn with an effort. Mrs. Menzies, the Governor's daughter, and other friends and attend­ ant; Went out for a moment, leaving Major Menzies and Dr. Hayes remain­ ing with him. Looking about the room, the dying man thought he saw his granddaughter. Miss Mary Menziea She' was always a favorite with him, and at s ght of her. as he thought, his face brightened and he called out "Mary." At that moment his .heart stopped beat­ ing, and the pallor of death overspread his features. He was laid gently back among the pillows, and his family and frionds were called in. As they gathered about the bed he drew one convulsive breath and was dead. Alvin P. Hovey was torn on a farm near Mount Vernon, Posey County, Ind , Sept. G, 1821, and was educated in the country schools and by private teachers. In 1840 he was a school t?achcr. and while so engaged pursued the stuuy of law evenings, being admitted to the bar in 1842. lie practiced with success. He was a delegate to tho Constitutional Convention of Indiana in 1850. In 1851 he became Circuit Judge of the Third Judicial District of Indiana and held the office until 1854, when he was made Judge of the Supreme Court of Indiana. He was chosen United States District Attorney for Indiana in 185tS and held the office two yoars. During the civil war he entered the national servi e as Colonel of the Twen­ ty-fourth Indiana volunteers In July, 1861. I n April 28, 1862, h was promot­ ed Brigadier General of volunteer and brevetted Major-Ueneral for meritorious arid distinguished service; in July, 1-64. He was in command of the eastern dis­ trict of Arkansas in 18(33, and of the dis­ trict of Indiana in 1864-5. In October, 18C5, he resigned his commission and was appointed Minister to Peru, holding the position for five years. He was elect d to Congress in 1*86 on the Re­ publican ticket, and two years ago was chosen Governor of jnd.ana. On the morning following the Gov­ ernor's death the remains were taken to the rotunda cf the Capitol, where they lay in state until the afternoon, when an impressive memorial service was held, under the auspices of the Grand Army of the liepublio The following morning the G. A. R. posts and other ,civic and military bodies turned out and escorted the remains to the depot, where a special train was in waftin; to carry the budy and a large escort to Mount Vernon, the Governor's old home, where the interment took p ace.

In truth, the day waa a 6t jrm king's carnival, and, as the se­ quel may prove, in many instances th« carnival of death Already from nu­ merous points come reports of damage, destruction, and death, and when a ces­ sation of the warring elements permits of a restoration of te egraphic commu­ nication with points at present inacces­ sible owing to the prostration of the w'res, the extent of the disaster Will only be fully known. Originating near Southern Georgia or Northern Florida, this resistless wave Of devastation swept northward, entirely bearins? down in its path the flimsy wires, snapping off trees and telegraph l oles 1 ke reeds, toppling over chimneys, tearing off roofs, and crushing appar­ ently substantial buildings like playhous­ es of Cardtoard. Iloun iint; over the Alleghenies, this awfuWestroytr, shriek­ ing with fiendish glee, fell upon Balti­ more, Richmond, Washington, and Phil- aaelphia, scattering through highway and byway mementoes of his tremendous power, as if in mocking derision of man'* power. The eye'one struck Washington and lasted about ten minutes. It was ac­ companied by a driving rain, with vivid lightning flashes To add to the conr fus'on fire bells were, rung, occasioned by buildings in various parts of the city being blown down. The worst of the storm visited the corner of F and Twelfth streets and wrecked the entir» corner. A building in the course of erec­ tion, and which had attained a height of four stpries, was blown in upon the rear of several adjoining buildings. A number of people were employed in these buildings and upon the building in the course of construction a number Of bricklayers were at work. The work­ men narrowly escaped death, but in an extension of one of the buildings crushed Mr. White, a tailor, was instantly killed, being mangled almost beyond recognition. Several other employes in his establishment were seriously in­ jured. At the White House about two tons of stone coping on the top of the mansion were blown down on the porch on the east side of the building, crush­ ing it in. A window in the east room' was also blown in. The flagstaff on top of the White House was snapped off as if It was glass. At Valtlmore, the wind and ra n was of unusual intensity. It struck ttie city from the southwest, blowing down signs and flag-poles, and doing other damage. The roof of the oyster packing hou eof C. S. Maltby was blown off by the wind. A number of persons working in the top story were injured, but none seriously. From all parts of Pittsburg and Alle gheny come reports of damage. Houses were blown down or unroofed, trees snapped off short, signs broken from their fasten!ngs, and telegraph poles torn up and wires broken. In the West End Grimm's new three-s-tory hotel, not yet finished, was blown down, crushing a small dwelling ad ioiuing. The occu­ pants all escaped but Mrs. Peebles, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen. fehe was buried in the ruins, aad fatally iujured. In Allegheny several electric light towers were blown down. . ^ Numerous accideuts from falling slgfra and flying bricks occurred, but as far aa f ro ported they were not of a serious na- ture. The rain lell in torrents, flooding | cellars and converting tho hill streets ft into small rivers. Before the storm the 1 barometer dropped to 20.075, the lowest point with one exception reached in iwenty-one years. The storm caused great anxiety among the rivermen. There were between 15,000,000 and 17.- 000,000 bushels of coal lying in boats in the harbor awaiting shipment, and for & time it was feared that the boats would be swept away. Several barges broke from their moorings, but were recovered without Joss. "J he storm seemed to divide itself into two arms, branching irom a center tn North Carolina, one arm bearing down the coast, the other bearing northward and veering north of Washington, de- if; scribing a tremendous circle. Bearing $ down northwest, it passed successively over Lakes Ontario and firie, finally passed away to the north, disappearing in Baffin's Bay. From Fastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania reports, as ; yet meager, outline the destruction in every direction, accurate reports of which can only be secured later.
