\*ith which the train was being run varv
—some say 2u miles per hour, some 15, anil
others 10. Y\ hen the cars flew the track the
men tried to save themselves by jumping, but
several were caught under the cars, some of
which were turned completely over in the
fall. As soon as intelligence of the affair
reached Leesburg a large number of our citi
zens hastened to the scene of the disaster.
lr. K. H. Dean, of our city, was summoned,
and w as soon at hand attending to the wounds
of the injured. Dr. Myers of Lake Weir, was
sent for and arrived just as the last patient’s
wounds were being dressed. Dr. Down
ing was also called but could not get to
the distressing scene until too late to as
sist in caring for the wounded. The fol
lowing is a list of the killed and wounded-
Robert Sims received a wound over the right
eve which fractured the scull and caused his
death m a few minutes. Plasco Hilton’s
Ismlv was crushed and he was killed instantly,
hd. Kilev, a white man, had his left leg badly
lacerated and received injuries on the foot in
three places. Hi* wounds are considered
dangerous by Dr. Dean. He was brought to
Leesburg that he might receive careful atten
tion. Yv ade Harris had two ribs and
a leg broken. His wounds are dan
gerous. He was also brought to
town. Olivr Robinson had his rignt wri-t
badly sprained and was severely bruised,
sam Tanner’s left leg was lacerated in two
places, and his right knee sprained. His left
arm was also badly bruised. William Little
received a blow on the angle of the lower jaw
which caused contusion of the face. His
wounds are not serious, and he will remain
in camp. Several other parties were slightly
injured ami bruised. Some think that the
accident was caused by the rails having been
tampered with, but we can hardly imagine
any one so fiendish as to be capable of doing
such a deed. We think it more probable that
the front car jumped the track, and, the grade
being high, pulled the others off the track into
the ditch.”
SOITII CAROLINA.
The renewal of the track of the Charleston
and Savannah Railway, relaid with steel rails,
was completed last week.
The Kershaw Gazette understands that a
large number of negroes in that county are
preparing to emigrate to Arkansas.
The Judiciary Committee of both Houses of
the Legislature have reported unfavorably on
the bill readjusting the boundary lines of
ltcaufort and Hampton counties.
The Kdgefield Advertiser states that Dr.
James A. DeVore, Mr. John Kainsford and
Mr. John Wise, three planters iu that county,
employ fully 500 negro voters.
Mrs. Polly C. Meetze, of Lexington, has

The new bonds of the Charleston Cotton
Mill were pat upon the market on Saturday
last, and over 120,0000f them were sold during
the day, the price being par and accrued in
terest.
The Camden Journal says: “Those farmers
who gate mortgages on their stock last spring
appear to be faring badly now. Large num
bers of horses, mules and cattle are being
seized under these mortgages. ’’
A special from Fort Motte to the AVa> and
t'ourier says: “Mr. Elliott H. I rick, a promi
nent citizen of this county, and for a number
of years a consistent and active member of
Trinity I.utherar. Church, committed suicide
on the litli by blowing oat his brains with a
shotgun. No cause has been assigned for the*
rush act.’*
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Camperdown Mills, in Greenville, was
held on \\ ednesday at the office of tlip com
pany. The report of the Treasurer showed
that the mill has been prosperous, and that it
has been making money during the past year
iu spite of the fact that the yarn market has
been depressed.
The officers of the Agricultural Society of
South Carolina are making all the arrange
ments for the annual fair of the society,
which will be held in February, 1881. Tlie
prospects for a large anil excellent exhibi

exhibits of machinery and agricultural im
plements have already been placed in the
building.
The exports for the week from Charleston
were, to foreign ports, 7,359 bales cotton, 269
tons of phosphate rock. 1,200 staves, 6,372

The Georgetown Times gives the particulars
of a most dastardly outrage perpetrated on
i arver’s Bay, in that county on, December 5.
It says that while Mr. lla'rvy L. Carter was
absent from home attending a celebration a
party of men went to his house, about 25
miles from town, and deliberately shot a load
of buckshot into the bed wherein they sup
posed him to be. no one lieing at home except
the ladies of the family, consisting of an
aged lady and the two Stis-es Carter. The
fences around the dwelliug were also
burnt, about fifteen panels being con
sumed, when tlie females mustered up cour
age to venture out and subdue the flames.
On Saturday night they went back and shot
down the only work animal Mr. Carter
owned, a tine mare, for which he had been
offered, only a few days previous, $l5O. N*o
cause is given for the outrage, except that Mr.
Carter, as a good citizen, and as the Consta
ble for Trial Justice Spivey, had been active
in prosecuting parties for selling liquor with
out a license. Trial Justice Spivey, upon the
necessary affidavits, had G. IV. Ray, I*. YV.
Ray. Ervin Powers and Coleman Marsh ar
rested and brought before him on YY'ednesday
last, and liound them all over in the sum of
$2,600 for their appearance at the next term
of court. A posse of 12 men were called out.
and guarded the prisoners for 4 or 5 days anil
nights, camping out in the woods all tlie
while. The evidence against the alwve
naraed defendants is purely circumstantial,
coii-i-ting of threats made at the last term of
our court, tracks leading from Carter’s stable
directly to the house of the Rays, etc.

Correspondence of the ifornino -YVir*.
Brunswick, Dec. 16.—The first appearance
of our new newspaper, the Herald, was one
ot the event* ot the past few days. The re
ception given it was of the most encouraging
nature. Its proprietor is amply able to run a
daily, and to increase its size, having simply
removed his plant from Memphis to the better

The stock, that is, so much as was offered to
our citizens, of a sectional dock company, was
taken up within a day or so, and work will
commence very shortly.
The amount of freight handled here this
season has been greater, and continues
greater, than ever known before.
The cargoes of fertilizers, hay. steel rails,

were sent to Savannah Hospital and others

merchant there, Yvas in my store this
morning, and among other articles bought
one-half dozen of your ‘Cherokee Reme

remarked that three months ago she had
a terrible cough; tried each and every
physician in Elberton, one or two in Au
gusta, mentioning them by name. They
made a signal failure in every instance,
she became alarmed, thought consump
tion inevitable, tried one-half dozen Bo

Cherrv Pectoral, and several other of the
articles ou the market known as expecto
rants, cures, etc. Finally, a friend sent
her a bottle of the ‘Cherokee Remedy.’
She tried it, and before the bottle was fin
ished she had experienced more relief
than all of the physicians and the other
medicines combined afforded. She4s now
well, but keeps it in the house. I have her
permission to U6e this.”

The Republican Hitch Over the Senate
Offices—The Chances of Pendleton and
Yest for Re-election as Seen In a
Squabble for the Former’s Choice
Seat.
YY’ashington*, Dec. 17.—Senator Pen
dleton was pretty much put out by a dis
covery which he made to-day. His term
and that of Senator Vest, of Missouri,
expire on the same day. Mr. Vest is con
fident that he will be re-elected, and
equally confident that Mr. Pendleton will
not. Mr. Vest has a very undesirable
seat in the Senate chamber and Pendle
ton a very desirable one. Mr. Pendleton
to-day learned that Mr. Vest had formally
applied for the seat which he occupied,
when his term shall have expired.
He says that he is no more a prospective
political corpse than Mr. Ve9t is, at any
rate he does not want his effects adminis
tered upon until the wake is over.
SENATORIAL CAUCUSES.
The Republican Senators held a caucus
this morning at which it was decided not
to proceed to an election for President
pro tempore of the Senate until after the
holiday recess. It was said that Senator
Anthony was so manifestly improving
that it was hoped that he might'be able
after the recess to enter upon the active
duties of the office. It was made known
to the caucus that the Democrats wished
to have time to consider, in caucus, their
line of action in respect to the reorgani
zation of the Senate, and it was decided
to introduce to-day a resolution to pro
ceed to the election of officers, but to
allow it to lie over until to-morrow. A
resolution was adopted to retain the
Union soldiers now upon the rolls of the
Senate in their position.
The opinion is expressed by the Re
publican Senators that the discussion in
the caucus this morning upon the pro
position to allow nif removals of subordi
nate officers of the Senate without the
assent of the President of the Senate, will
have the effect ot preventing sweeping
changes, ami to keep efficient men in
position until others have an opportunity
to become qualified to perform their duties
with equal efficiency. The proposition
was withdrawn on the ground that
it would practically place the whole
patronage of the body in the hands of
the President pro tern. The Democrats
held a caucus this evening and decided to
nominate the Democratic officers of the
Senate who were nominated at the caucus
two years ago as follows: L. Q. Wash
ington, for Secretary; R. J. Bright,
Sergeant-at-Arms: Col. Payton, Execu
tive Clerk: F. E. Shober, Principal Clerk,
and Dr. Bullock, Chaplain. It is under
stood upon Democratic authority that this
does not mean a fight against the Repub
lican nominees. The Democrats "will
content themselves with voting for their
c-andidates, and will hot resort to any
dilatory tactics to prevent the election of
the Republicans.
MU. RAF DALI. SAID
to tbe News correspondent to-day: “Of
course I am going to be Chairman of the
Appropriations Committee. That was
settled ten days ago. 1 have seen it stated
that Mr. Morrison has been secretly work
ing Air. Carlisle to prevent my getting
that Chairmanship. I don't believe a
word of it. It is not like Air. Morrison.
He tights openly.”
Air. Carlisle has been more pressed for
places on the Committee of Commerce
than on any other committee. Members
whose constituencies recognize the im
portance of river and harbor work would
rather be last on that of Commerce than
second or third on almost any other com
mittee of the House.
EXTENSION OF THE BONDED PERIOD,
A number of representatives interested
iu securing an extension of the bonded
whisky period held a conference this
morning and decided not to ask Secretary
Folger to stop the collection of taxes
pending the legislation on the subject.
Doubt was expressed as to whether the
Secretary had the right to take such ac
tion. The propriety of the committee
making such a request was also doubted.
It is now intended to introduce a bill ask
ing merely for an extension of the bonded
period for two years. The clause referr
ing to leakage will not be inserted. The
friends ot the proposed bill will urge its
consideration as soon as possible.
SENATOR SHERMAN’S RESOLUTION
to-day putting the office of Sergeant-at-
Arrus last on the list to be balloted for,
instead of following precedent, and
keeping it iu second place, shows that the
Republicans are a little shaky as to their
ability to elect Cassiday Sergeant-at-Arms.
They’ fear that Senators like Edmunds,
Hoar and Blair may, by putting up an
other man, make the result of the election
to-morrow the retention of Bright as
Sergeant-at-Arms. They want to get all
that is plainly in sight before coming near
an expected snag. The Democrats will
make no captious opposition to the Re
publicans proceeding with the election of
their officers.
JUDGE GEDDES,
of Ohio, and other prominent members of
the House, said to-day that the commit
tees would be announced Thursday. Mr.
Morrison and others, however, say that
Friday will be announcement day, as the
House stands adjourned to YV ednesday
next, and as the holiday adjournment
will follow fast on the heels of the com
mittee announcements there will he noth
ing of any importance enacted in that
body until next year. A resolution to
make Friday the date upon which the
House will adjourn for the holidays will
be introduced Wednesday.
AMBITIOUS KENTUCKIANS.
There is more figbtiug inside the Ken
tucky delegation than any other about
the Chairmanships and good committee
places. All the Democratic members ol
that ilelegation Yvorked hard for Carlisle.
Naturally they think they ought to be
treated w ith distinguished consideration.
In reconciling their individual ambitions,
and at the same time not unduly reward
ing Kentucky, Mr. Carlisle is having a
family difficulty of some proportions.
A CHAIRMANSHIP FOR HAMMOND.
Georgia will get one committee chair
manship. Mr. Hammond will be made
Chairman of the Committee on Elections.
IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Short Sessions of Both Bodies Owing
to Mr. Haskeirg Demise.
Washington, Dec. 17.—1n the House
this morning the Chaplain, in a few
touching words, referred to the death of
Hon. D. C. Haskell, of Kansas, and in
voked the Divine blessing upon the
bereaved family.
Mr. Scales, of North Carolina, pre
sented the certificate of election of
Them a s G. Skinner as Representative
elect from the First District of North
Carolina, and asked that the gentleman
be sworn In.
Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, asked that the cer
tificate be read, saying that he had a reso
lution to offer in regard to it. Mr. Scales
thereupon withdrew his request for the
present.
On motion of Mr. Holman, of Indiana, it
was ordered that when the House adjourn
to-day it lie to meet on YVednesday next.
MrJ Anderson, of Kansas, then rose and
said:
It is with great sorrow that I perform the
sad duty of announcing to the House the
death of my lamented colleague, llou. Dud
ley C. Haskell, late a Representative from
Kansas, who died at hi* residence iu this city
yesterdav morning, the 16th inst.. at 4:28
o’clock. "YY’ith the earliest tint of that sacred
nay which typifies to the Christian the resur
rection of the dead, hi* spirit wa* severed
from the jurisdiction of this Congress of the
United States, and joined that sublime gen
eral assembly of representatives from all
nations, continents and centuries. As the
babe sleeps so he slept out of life,
and woke to that immortality vouchsafed
and given by our Lord Jesus' Christ. Mr.
Haskell has served during the last three Con
gresses with ever-increasing ability, fidelity
and efficiency, and had he been spared to oc
cupy this seat draped withemhlemsof mourn
ing, but brightened with the flowers of Chris
tian hope, he would have taken a high and
deserved rank in the Forty-eighth Congress.

Washington, Dec. 17.—Suit was en
tered in this city to-day in tbe name of
Charles C. Boudinot and the Cherokee Na

er $22,500. Phillips is the ex-Congressman
of Kansas, to whom was committed the
distribution of the Indian award of
$30,000, which was made by

appropriation. The plaintiff in the suit
just brought alleges that the amount sued
for was paid to the defendant by D. W.
Life, Treasurer ot the Cherokee nation,

payment was unlawful, in that the de

VILLAUD RESIGNS.
An Important Step, if Tre, in North
western Transportation Affairs.
Neyy* York, Dec. 17. —It is officially an
nounced that Henry Villard has resigned
the Presidency of the Oregon and Trans
continental aud Oregon Railway and
Navigation Companies; that YV. Endi
cott, Jr., of Boston, succeeds him as Presi
dent of the Oregon and Transcontinental
Company, and T. Jefferson Coolidge, of
Bostou, as President of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Com
pany. Mr. Coolidge also en
ters the Oregon and Transcontinental
Board of Directors. The reason assigned
for the resignation of Mr. Y'illard is that
he became impressed with the conviction
that it would not be proper for him to con
tinue as President of all the companies
whose management he has heretofore di
rected, after the completion of the North
ern Pacific Road. Mr. Villard some weeks
ago urgently pressed Mr. Endicott to ac

Mr. H. YV. Tiffins, Bull’s Creek, Ga.,
says: “My wife recovered very quickly
from malaria and biliousness by using
Brown’s Iron Bitters.”
O’DONNELL EXECUTED.
HE MADE NO STATEMENT AND
SHOWED NO FEAR.
Death Almost Instantaneous—Twenty
Thousand People Without the Jail,
But No Demonstration Made—The
Touching Spectacle of the Doomed
Man’s Brother Awaiting the Hoisting
of the Black Flag.
London, Dec. 17, 2 p. m.—O’Donnell
was hanged at 8:02 o’clock this morning.
Despite boisterous and squally weatber,
a considerable crowd assembled at the
prison. At 7 o’clock this morning a hun
dred workingmen passing by the jail
waited to gaze at the black flag. Among
them was O’Douneli's brother, who paced
to and fro opposite the flagstaff the
most restless and dejected manner, ex
citing the sympathy of all present. The
hangman’s arrangements were perfect,
and the execution occurred witfceut a
hitch, and O’Donnell was calm awi col
lected.
HE MADE NO STATEMENT m
on jthe scaffold. O’Donnell was notified
at 7:30 o’clock to make ready. was
perlectly resigned. He
sorrow for his outburst of temper in the
dock at the conclusion of his trial. He
said that he had felt the greatest animosi
ty for the witnesses who appeared against
him, but that had now disappeared. After
the communion had’ been administered to
the condemned man, Binns, the hangman,
entered the cell. O’Donnell submitted to
the operation of pinioning with a smile
and without a murmur. The procession
then moved toward the scaffold.
O’DONNELL YVALKKD WITH GREAT FIRM
NESS,
and without the assistance of the
wardens, who stood close around him.
He was perfectly calm and self-possessed.
YVhile standing on the drop he looked
around unconcernedly. Binns performed
the remainder of his duty quicklv. He
allowed a drop of 8 feet.
THE NOOSE
was placed exactly as Marwood used to
place it. Binns pulled the lever of the
trap precisely as the neighboring church
clocks were striking eight. The crowd
in front of Newgate increased rapidly,
and shortly before 8 o’clock it numbered
20,000 persons at the least. The streets
were closely packed, but the throng ob
served a quiet and orderly demeanor. The
Irish element was not conspicuous in the
gathering. As the moment for the exe
cution approached the crowd swayed up
against the prison wall, and the road-
YY'ay, which before had been kept
clear, was blocked. The police,
however. moved rapidly through
the multitude and easily cleared the way.
YVhen the black flag was hoisted an
nouncing the end of the tragedy there
was no demonstration, although sup
pressed excitement marked many faces.
O’DONNELL’if BROTHER
remained to the last, bitterly Yveeping,
and was the centre of a sympathizing
group. The clouds began to break as the
hour of 8 approached, and YVhen the black
flag was run up it was distinctly dis
played against the rising sun. The peo
ple immediately dispersed alter the hoist
ing of the flag.
THE BROTHER’S HEAVY HEART.
During the final preparations for tbe
execution O’Donnell’s brother took up his
place in a doorway opposite the prison in
full view of the fl’agstaff, upon which his
eyes were riveted. He was the object of
the deepest interest and curiosity. The
crowd pressed so closely upon him that
the police had to interfere for his protec
tion. YVhen the black flag was hoisted he
removed his hat and remained for some
time, apparently praying, his features
working painfully. He staved in the same
spot tor some time after the execution.
To people who lingered around him he
said in a hoarse voice: “My poor brother!
He has died as bravely as man ever died.”
This was received with cries of “Yes.”
He then departed and the crowd dis
persed.
THE DOOMED MAN’S LAST HOURS.
O’Donnell, it seems, retired to rest at
an early hour la9t evening. This morn
ing he rose early. Father Fleming ar
rived about 5 o’clock, and administered
the sacrament of the holy communion.
At 6 o’clock O’Donnell partook of a good
breakfast. A few minutes before 8 o’clock
he was removed from his cell to the large
room of the prison. In the large room
were Binns, the hangman, the Sheriff and
Under Sheriffs, the Governor of the jail.
Rev. Duflieid, the prison chaplain, and
the Newgate surgeon. The process of
pinioning the prisoner’s limbs was quickly
performed bv Binns, O’Donnell keeping a
resolute silence and showing the utmost
firmness, occasionally smiling in a half
abstracted manner. ’This work done, the
procession moved on to the court yard,
where
TnE SCAFFOLD
was erected. O’Donnell declined any
assistance from the wardens in ascending
the steps of the scaffold. Father Fleming,
who was by his side, repeated the service
of the church for the dying and held the
crucifix before O’Donnell's gaze. The
prisoner took his place
ON THE DROP
under the rope, the slack of which was
held up over his head by a piece of thread.
Binns appeared to be very calm and
quietly fitted the noose over the neck of
his victim, and carefully placing the knot
under O’Donnell’s left ear- he at once
stepped back and pulled the fatal lever,
and O’Donuell fell eight feet. The rope
hardly quivered.
According to the surgeon,
DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS,
there being scarcely any muscular move
ment of the hanging lorm. As the black
flag was run up those within the prison
could hear hushed murmurs from the
multitude outside the walls. The body
hung for one hour, when it was cut down
and removed for the proper legal inquest.
THE DEAD BOBY.
The usual inquest showed that the face
of O’Donnell bore a calm expression. The
head was quite loose from the trunk of
the body. The rope made a deep inden
tality. The usual verdict was rendered.
Binns, the hangman, was good humoredly
mobbed by a crowd when he left New
gate prison. He afterwards drove away
in a government postal van to escape
observation.
NO AVENGERS ON THE STEAMER.
The Press Association denies the report
published by the Central News yesterday
that the police had received information
that a body of Invincibles had sailed from
New Y'ork in the steamer Assyrian
Monarch to either attempt the rescue of
O’Donnell or avenge his death, and avers
that the search of that steamer to-dav
Yvas only in accordance with the regular
practice of the police upon the arrival of
any steamer.
THE PRISONER’S FAMILY AFFAIRS.
The Local News Agencv states that at
the farewell visit of O’Donnell’s brother
to him Saturday the two men cont'ersed
for half an hour. O’Donnell gave his
brother full instructions with regard to
private matters. They spoke in Irish to
prevent the wardens from understanding
them. O’Donnell felt comforted because
the unexpended American fund which
yv;is subscribed for his defense will be
divided among his wife and other rela
tions. He said that he died for Ireland,
and would die like a brave man. O’Don
nell’s brother was desirous of burying
O’Donnell’s.body in consecrated ground,
and was horrified to learn that the re
mains must be interred in the prison
yard.
LAST EFFORTS TO FIND THE JURYMEN.
The friends of O’Donnell continued their
efforts to obtain a meeting of the jurymen
who convicted him until late Saturday
night, when eight of them had been found.
It was impossible to trace the other four,
and the friends of the condemned man
were compelled to abandon the search.
Five of the jurymen were anxious to have
a meeting of the jury.
SEVEN INVINCIBLES ON TRIAL.
Cork, Dec. 17.—At the Assizes to-day
the trial of the seven Invincibles who are
charged with having been connected with
the murder conspiracy In County Mayo
was begun. The Attorney General stated
that it would be proved by witnesses for
the Crown that the Land League had sub
scribed a fund for the murder of certain
persons.
Andrew Coleman, the principal witness
for the prosecution, testified to the exist
ence ot a branch of the Fenian Brother

had been giving information to the police
while assisting the men now on trial; that
he once accompanied some of the men
now prisoners to murder certain gentle
men, but the gentlemen escaped because
he had previously warned them.

meeting was held under the auspices of
the Manhattan circle of the Fenian
Brotherhood at Clarendon Hall this even
ing, to take action in regard to the exe
cution of O’Donnell, the murderer of
Carey, the informer. After a number of
inflammatory speeches had been made by
the more enthusiastic members resolu
tions were adopted calling on Irishmen all
over the world to avenge the death of
O’Donnell, and pledging the members of
the Motherhood to renewed energy in
striking down England, the enemv of
Ireland, who sets at naught the laws of
humanity and civilization. Robert Blis
sert, O’Donovan Rossa and Prof. Mez
zeroff were among the speakers.

London, Dec. 17.—Another letter has
been sent from the Metropolitan Under
ground Railway employes to Mr. Lowell,
in reply to his statement that there was
no evidence to show complicity of any
American in the recent explosion at the
Praed street station. The authorities of
the railway say that they were advised
through the home office from information
from New York that an explosion had
been planned, and they adduce from the
evidence that the outrages were concoct
ed in America. Mr. Lowell has acknowl
edged the receipt of the communications.
THE SONS OF TOIL.
Trojan Unionists Attempt to Roast Out
Their Non-Union Rivals,
Troy, N. Y., Dec. 17.—The old St.
Francis Church, which is occupied by
families of non-union moulders employed
in the Malleable Iron Works, was on fire
twice yesterday. It is alleged that the
fire was of incendiary origin, as an oil
can was found in the cellar near where
the fire started. Two laborers were
assaulted and beaten this morning while
going to the works by union moulders
patrolling the streets in the vicinity of the
works.
A REDUCTION ACCEPTED.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 17.—The work
men of the Edgar Thomas Steel Company,
havirjp accepted a reduction of 13 per
cent, in their wages in preference to re
maining idle until trade improved, the
mills are running as usual to-day, and
steady work is promised 3,000" men
throueh the winter. The iron mould
ers have been notified of a reduction of 10
per cent, to take effect January 1. Thev
will meet to-morrow night to consider the
proposition. Owing to the depressed con
dition of trade it is thought that the re
duction will be accepted.
The conference committee of the glass
manufacturers and the workmen will en
deavor to-morrow to settle the existing
difficulties. As both sides are still firm,
it is expected that the meeting will be
productive of no satisfactory results.
About 2,000 coal miners have been thrown

trade.
A GOOD UNDERSTANDING WANTED.
Lille, France, Dec. 17.—M. Meline,
Minister of Agriculture, delivered an ad
dress at a meeting of agriculturists on
Saturday, upon the question of sugar
bounties. At a banquet in the evening
M. Meline said that he hoped that France
would have nothing to do with any war
between capital and labor. A good under
standing between workmen and masters,
he said, was the first condition ot success
and prosperity, while discord and hatred
formed the principal obstacle to reform
and progress. He concluded by propos
ing the toast, “Union among those who
labor.’’
STRIKERS GROWING VIOLENT.
Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 17.—The en
gineers of the Canadian Pacific Road, who
went on a strike several days ago, are
growing demonstrative, and trouble is
feared. The Provincial police are pa
trolling the yards, and guards are placed
at every switch. This morning a switch
in the yards here was found locked tight
with a chain, with the intention, it is
supposed, of causing a collision. A
bullet hole was made through Superin
tendent Egan’s window to-day, but no one
was in the office at the time. The en
gineers at Brandon committed several
acts of violence to-day.
FIXING A SCALE OF WAGES.

Joliet says: “The convention of the dele
gates of the iron and steel workers of the
Fourth district was in session here to-day
for the purpose of fixing a scale ol wages
for the North Chicago rolling mill. It
was decided to concede a reduction of 10
per cent. It is not known whether or not
the manufacturers will accept the propo
sition. It is understood that the mills
have orders for 60,000 tons of rails.”
ANOTHER COLLIERY SHUTS DOWN.
Lancaster, Pa., Dec. 17.— The Penn
sylvania Iron Works of this city have
shut down until after the holidays, throw

went into effect to-day.
MURDERS IN THE INDIAN LAND.
Perpetrators Subject to Trial and Pun
isliment by Native Tribuual Only.
W ASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—A decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day in the original ha
beas corpus case of the Sioux Indian,
Crow Dog, who was tried in the District
Court for the First Judicial district of
Dakota for the murder in the Indian
country of another Sioux Indian
named Spotted Tail, and upon be*ng
found guilty was sentenced to death.
The counsel for the prisoner maintained
here that the crime charged against him
was not an offense under the laws of the
United States; that the District Court of
Dakota had no jurisdiction to try him, and
that its judgment and sentence were void.
The question presented, therefore, in this
court is whether the express letter of sec
tion 2146 ot the Revised Statutes, which
excludes from the jurisdiction ol the
United States the case of a crime com
mitted in the Indian country by one
Indian against the person or property of
another Indian has been repealed. This
court holds that it has not; that in such
case as the present one Indians have the
right to try and punish the criminal ac
cording to their own laws and customs
without interference from the United
States; that the First District Court of
Dakota had no jurisdiction, and that the
imprisonment of Crow Dog is therefore
illegal. The writs of habeas corpus and
certiorari prayed for will accordingly be
issued. The opinion is by Justice
Matthews. Justices Field and Gray dis
sented.
Warner & Co.'s Lottery Scheme.
Boston, Dec. 17.—Special Agent Field,
of the Post Office Department, has notified
H. H. Warner & Cos., of Rochester, N. Y.,
that thirty-five large sacks of their circu
lars are in the Boston post office, and will
be returned to them by express at their
expense. The circulars, in addition to
the advertisement of a patent medicine,
contain a lottery scheme, and it is on the
ground of a lottery that the circulars are
held to be in violation ot the post office
laws and rules, and delivery refused. It
is not improbable that prosecution will be
made in the United States Courts for
sending contraband matter through the
mails.

waukee.
Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 17.—What was
left of the town of Rat Portage after the
recent conflagration there wa9 almost to
tally destroyed by a similar disaster early
this morning. The town possesses no ap
pliance for protection against fire, and
the flames had full sway, consuming all
the buildings within reach. One store
was saved by the blowing up of an inter
vening building with gunpowder. This,
with a few isolated dwellings, is
all that remains of the town. The
stocks of the merchants are a total loss.
The loss on buildings and stocks aggre
gates about SIOO,OOO. Owing to the want
oi fire protection, the inflammable nature
of the buildings, and the unsettled and
lawless state of the town, the insurance
companies will not take large risks there.
The principal losers are McKinnon Bros.,
general store, $40,000; Baker A Cos., gene
ral merchandise, $16,000; Chadwick &
McLennan, hardware, $10,000; William
McCarthy, general store, $19,000. Many
persons are now homeless and in desti
tute circumstances. A relief committee
will be organized here. No one was hurt.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 17.—The residence
of Frank H. Miller was burned this morn
ing. The loss is $20,000. This afternoon
the warehouse of 8. Lesser, containing
cotton and bagging, was burned. The
loss is SB,OOO.
A PANIC IN A HOTEL.
Milwaukee, Dec. 17.—Fire was dis
covered in the laundry of the Plankiuton
House this evening, which created a panic
among the 200 guests, who remembered
the Newhall House holocaust, and rushed
into the street. The female servants were
mostly on the upper floors, and
made a rush for the fire escape,
and about twenty of them, with the
assistance of the firemen, landed safely
upon the sidewalk. Owing to the break
ing of a gas-pipe and the ignition of the
gas the firemen had considerable difficulty
m mastering the flames, and eight of them
were asphyxiated by the mingled gas and
smoke, but were resuscitated. The dam
age is about $6,000. Order was restored
after a couple of hours, and the guests
returned to their rooms.
LIVES AS WELL AS PROPERTY.
Halifax, N. S., Dec. 17.—A fire yes
terday destroyed the Queen Building, oc
cupied by the Queen, Guardian and Union
Insurance offices, the Spanish Consulate,
and several other offices and business
houses. The total loss is SBO,OOO,
and the insurance $60,000. A
clerk named Edward O’Oounor,
aged 56 years, who slept inthe build
ing, was suffocated. The remains with
the head missing were found in the de
bris. The family of the janitor, with one
exception, escaped safely by jumping to
the roof of an adjoining building. A
niece of the janitor was fatally hurt.
THE STANDARD THEATRE FIRE.
New York, Dec. 17.—Fire Marshal
Sheldon continued his investigation to
day in regard to the Standard Theatre,
and from the testimony given the fact was

to have been in the dressing rooms shortly
before the fire broke out.

THE NEW ORLEANS Til AGED Y.
A City Editor's Testimony Sustains the
Story of Houston.
Nbw Orleans, Dec. 17.—The testimony
examination of Sheriff Brewster, John
Dominick, A. M. Aucoin, J. D. Houston,
Mike Early, D. Douglass and D. Donovan,
accused of having committed murder at
the Seventh ward poll Friday, took place
before Recorder Ford to-day. Many
of the witnesses were absent, and
District Attorney Finney asked for
a continuance. He said that the case
was set down very hurriedly, and that
the State had no time to make any prepa
ration. It is an extraordinary case, and
needs preparation. Since the killing
occurred on Friday last, no examination
had been made by the Coroner, and
it would be best to await the result of the
Coroner’s iuquest. The counsel for the
accused opposed any continuance, and
Judge Ford decided to go on with the
hearing. The testimony was voluminous
and conflicting. Most'of the witnesses
were present at the noils when the
disturbance occurred, 'but knew very
little about it. The most important
testimony was given by Col. John
Augustin, city editor of the Times-Dvmo
crat. He said: “I was at the Seventh
ward poll between 1 and 1:30 o’clock. I
went there to vote. While waiting for
my turn to vote I heard a blow and turned
around and saw a man with a bloody
head. Pistol shots were fired. As I was
not interested in the pistol firing, I walked
away, but reflecting that it might be worse
to move about, I retraced my steps and
stood almost opposite the poll. I saw
Captain Fortier raising his arm as if in
the act of firing. He fired. Mr. Houston
was six or seven paces to the left
of Capt. Fortier. The Captain fired at
Houston. The latter remained motion
less and returned the fire. Capt. Fortier
fell backwards immediately.”
After examining numerous witnesses,
Judge Ford said: “The public is anx
iously awaiting all the news from this
case. If there is any person present in
this court who can directly or indirectly
testify to the guilt of any of the prisoners
at the bar let them step forth and do so,
as I wish to have a thorough investiga
tion.” The Judge thereupon ordered the
discharge of all the accused except Hous
ton, who was committed to the Criminal
Court for manslaughter under SIO,OOO
bonds, which were at once iurnished.
EGYPT’S DEFENSELESSNESS.
The Khedive Appeals to England for
Troops to Help Him Out.
London, Dec. 17. —The Mornituj Post
says: “It is rumored that the Khedive
has notified England that he cannot con
front the present situation in Egypt un
less his position is secured by the pres
ence of other than Egyptian troops. It is
believed, therefore, that a strong English
force will be dispatched to Egypt. Several
battalions of militia have been enrolled
to replace the troops withdrawn from
Ireland, which it is intended to send to
Egypt.”
A Cairo correspondent says that further
native accounts of the battle between
El Mahdi’s forces and those of Hicks
Pasha state that Hicks Pasha’s hands
were first cut off and that he was after
wards cut to pieces. Three thousand
men of Hicks Pasha’s army were taken
prisoners. The accounts also' say that two
Europeans and twelve Egyptians who
were trying to reach Khartoum, bv way
of Dortour, have not yet arrived. ' They
have probably lost their way. It is be
lieved, from the description given of the
two Europeans, that they are Edmund
O’Donovan, the correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Xeics, and Frank Vizetelly, of
the London Graphic.
A dispatch from Cairo says: “The
British Government has notified Egypt
that Great Britain is unable to interfere
in Soudan, but will try to induce the Porte
to dispatch an expedition thither by way
of Suakim.
Nicosia, Cyprus, Dec. 17.—Large pur
chases of transport mules have been made

Marquis Tseng's Expectations.
London, Dec. 17.—A Paris corres
pondent states that Marquis Tseng, in an
interview, said that he wished to dis
tinctly affirm that China would break off
official relations with France if the troops
of the latter government took possession
either of Bacninh or Sontav. He said
that he should rejoice to see Prime Minis
ter r erry go to London and talk with Earl
th< ? ® r, Gsh Foreign Minister,
on the Tonquin matter. He said: “There
is not much time left, and I sincerely
trust that M. Ferry will find some disin
terested party who is entitled to ask of
each nation their concessions which we
are not inclined to make directly.”
A Ilong Kong dispatch states that a
r rench expedition, composed of 6,000 men
with a flotilla of gunboats anil steam
launches, started several days ago from
Ilaloia for Sontay. The troops were lauded
seven miles from the town and encamped
without meeting the enemy or firing a
shot. The assault upon Sontay was ex
pected to be made December 12. Tbe ene
my’s force is estimated at 26,000 men.
Paris, Dec. 17.—Gen. Campenon, Min
ister ot War, in view ot the multitude of
oflers lie has received for service iu Ton

irotn the available fortress battalions.
At a meeting to-flay of the Senate Com

laction was expressed at the clearness of
the statements made by M. Ferry, Ad
miral Peyron, Minister of Marine, and
Gen. Campenon. M. Ferry read a dis
patch from Admiral Courbet, dated on the
10th inst., stating that the march on Son

Reinforcements are to bo sent to Tou

The report of the committee of the

The Chamber of Deputies to-day ap

COLQUITT FOIL VICE PRESIDENT.
The Smashing of Slates Which Carlisle’s
Election will Cause.
The Continent.
Apropos of this subject we dropped into
the office of a AVall street lawyer whose
fame is national and whose eloquence has
helped to win more than one Republican
victory, a few days since, and in the
course of conversation lie said: “There is
no mistake about it. The Democrats will
have to nominate a Southern man for
Vice President, and that man will be Col
quitt, of Georgia. He will give more
strength to their ticket at the North, too,
than any other man they could name!”
Should this prediction prove true, tbe
election of Carlisle will smash more slates
than any recent event iu our political his
tory. Should a Southern man be nomi
nated for Vice President, it will be neces
sary to counteract tbe influence of that
idea on the popular mind by making the
bead of the ticket peculiarly strong in tbe
other direction. A Federal soldier, of
merit and distinction, w ill be the natural
antidote. Every civilian aspirant, and
every one who uttered a word
of sympathy with the South
ern cause or Its supporters, will
be bustled to the rear in a twinkling.
Soldiers will be put in the lead. Slocum
and Morrison are the men who will bo
tbe most available. Both were soldiers
of unimpeachable merit, and both com
mand the confidence of all parties. Mor
rison is Carlisle’s special adjutant and an
out-and-out free trader. Slocum was an
anti-slavery Democrat before the war, a
splendid soldier, and favors free trade in
theory and a tariff in practice.
