COURTS 111 11 CLASH A Conflict Belween Federal and State Officials in Kan sas as to ORIGINAL PACKAGE PLACES Dealers flurried Off to Jail by the Local Authorities Soon RELEASED BT THE HIGHER POWER, Prohibitionists Greatly Excited ly the Course of Events. BOME URGE AH APPEAL TO TIOLEHCE The situation in Kansas concerning the original package business is daily becoming more critical. Yesterday dealers arrested by the Topeka authorities were released by the United States Court. The State officials will continue in their work, however. The dealers are nearly all from Missouri, which but adds fuel to the flame. CTXCUX. TXLrOEAM TO THB DtSPATCH.1 Topeka, Kas., June L The State and Federal authorities have come to- a cUsh in Kansas. Proceeding under the section of the State law defining public nuisaucei and forbidding the sale of liquor to minors and habikial drinkers, the County Attorney caused the arrest of six original package housekeepers on Thursday, and Judge Guthrie sent them to jail and ordered the establishments closed. The attorneys for the prisoners went be fore Judge Foster, of the United States. Court, who immediately issued writs of habeas corpus, which were served at once on the Sheriff! This officer, acting under the advice of the Connty Attorney, took advan tage of the law giving a Sheriff three days in which to make his return on the writ. ALL EELEASED ON BAIL. The prisoners were therefore obliged to remain in jail from Thursday until this afternoon, when they were taken before Judge Foster, who released them under bond of S500 each to appear in court The Judge announced bis intention of looking into the merits of the original package decision and the relation it bears to the State enactments, and will render a decision after sufficient examination has been made. In the meantime the county officials say they will continue making arrests under the State law and imprisoning offenders until the business of liquor selling is made extremely expensive and hazardous in 'Topeka. The County Attorney denies the Tght of the United States District Court to. interfere in those prosecutions. He says: the rnoniBrrioN idea. "The original package dealers are not here because there is not any possible law per mitting them. It is only because of the ab sence of any law on the subject. The con stitution says the States must not interfere with inter-State commerce, but it does not Ea7 liquor must be sold. These liquor stores are public nuisances. The people have a right to protect their own homes and fami lies, and in the absence of any statute law on the subject they have a natural right to use force." Complaint was filed to-day against Charles Jackbeck, a package dealer who was not included in the list of arrests ou Thursday. Jackbeck opened business thh week with a stock ol over 2,000 original packages of various sizes and descriptions. He is the agent of the 31. Chandler BottliDg Com pany, of Kansas City, and he has one brand of whisky put up in pasteboard boxes fastened with a cotton string, which, in the half-pint size, is the smallest packages yet introduced in Topeka. CROWDED WITH CUSTOMERS. Jackbeck's place was so crowded with customers at the time the papers were served on him that the Sheriff had difficulty in squeezing through. Sales are -still being made at other places in the city, where sufficient evidence has not accumulated to warrant an arrest. The dealers have formed a combination to find tneir rights and carry the cases to the highest courts. The Prohibitionists are determined to en force the State law until some new law is provided by Congress, and are very indig nant over the presence ot the Kansas City agents in defiance or the public sentiment of the community. The Daily Capital, the temperance party's organ, has a double-leaded editorial urging the local officers to prosecute offenders regardless of the Supreme Court decision. It says: 'These agents come to Kansas to break down the good work of years and to build a defense for the open Baloon which their Kansas supporters, the Besubmission isU are trying to make possible. The saloon knows SO LAW, HUMAN OR DIYTXE, except force. It obeys no mandate of man or court that does not menace it with the county jail. The man who sells liquor v over a counter, whether under the guise of an original package agent, a barkeeper or the sneaking proprietor of a sub terranean joint, is an enemy to the good order of every community. Don't make any mistake and resort to mob law, but put thee scoundrels on the wheel of the law and break their backs with continual prosecution. Stand by yonr County Attor . neys, yonr Sheriffs and your Judges. Go into the contest to remain in it until no agent will dare to open a house for the sale of liquor in any size package. The people or Kansas have no war to make upon the United States Supreme Court. Congress will take care of that. Your business is to take care of our own affairs here in the State, and to enforce the"statule laws we bate that mill reach these agents, their proprietors or the men wbdrent tbem buildings. The temperance people of Kansas should sttud shoulder to Enoulder and drive the? rder ruffians 'from Unaouri out of the. y- JUDGE EWTHG APPLAUDED. IIU Decision of nn Oilelunl Pnckase Case Commended. 'SPECIAL T2XKGBAM TO THE DISrATCII.3 Kochester, N. Y., June 1. "William J. Fowler, of this city, a well-known writer and temperance advocate, has written a let ter to Judge Thomas Ewing, of Pittsburg, warmly praising him for the position taken in a case recently tried, where the game lawsot Pennsylvania and those of Mis souri appeared to conflict. The opening paragraph of Mr. Fowler's letter is as fol lows: Your recent decision apparently controvert ing that of the United Mates Supreme Court, is the occasion ot this congratulatory letter. I am not a lawyer, and it may not be in order to congratulate a judge on opposing, even seem ingly, a higher judicial authority. You are right, whether the Supreme Conrt is right or not. I am glad you have given the latter the chance, in another case, to review and perhaps modify its late ruling: It is nothing new for the Supreme Court to make mistakes. Mr. Fowler then reviews Supreme Court decisions that furnish him arguments, and savs of the original package decision that its effect will be to wipe out "all State restric tions or prohibition of the liquor traffic" He maintains further that it interferes with the right of a State to make police regula tions for self-protection against diseased or unwholesome articles.

Huston, of this city, has discovered a de cision by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Brown vs. Houston, reported in 114 U. S., page 622, in which the court holds precisely the opposite opinion from that given in the original package case, the case being barges of coal mined in Pennsyl vania and shipped to New Orleans by water. An attempt was made to seize the coal and sell it for taxes while it was still in its original state of shipment. In its decision the court held the coal had become of the general mass of property in the State the moment it arrived at its destination and thus subject to taxation. GEEW OLD WHILE DBOWHING.

Edwards, 19 year; old, was drowned while skiff riding in the Ohio. The body was swept beneath some barges and could aot be recovered. Last Friday a corpse was found floating in the river near Bisicg Sun, Ind. On the body was a watch and ring both bearing the initials B L. E. Apparently the remains were those of a man at least CO years of age with snow white hair. Tightly tied around the neck was a piece of small rope, as if the man had first been strangled and then thrown into the water. The face was so badly decomposed the features could hardly be recognized. It was supposed a murder bad been committed, the presumption being that young Edwards' body had been fonnd by river pirates, and during a quarrel be tween them over the valuables one of tbem had been slain and thrown into the river. The watch and ring were identified as Ed wards . To-day Ed wards' brother positively identi fied the body from the jewelry and clothing. "When the young man jtll into the river his hair was, coal black; that of the corpse wns pure vhlte. Fright doubt less made the change while is was struggling for life. The cord About his neck is accounted for by the fact that the body was dragged far with a trout line, which caught the corpse and was broken. There has been great excitement along the river over the mysterious case. It is the first instance on record where a man was prematurely aged while drowning. A MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE. One of a Trio Jumps Into the Water While the Others Look On. SPECIAL TCLXOBAM TO THX DISPATCH. New York, June 1. Several Italians were eating their supper about 10 p. si. Sat urday night on a barge at the foot of East Seventieth street when two men and a wom an came down to the wharf talking loudly. The lonely spot was lighted, only by the mocn. One of the men jumped down to the cabin of the barge, passed the Italians and walked along the edge of the boit to the stern. The Italians thought he was going to take a swim. He took off his coat and carefully folded it up, then his hat and laid it on top of the coat. Then he went over board. This did not look like going in for a swim. The Italians threw him a rope, but he wouldn't take it. He shook his hand at the man and woman on shore, crving out some thing like this: "My life is full of trouble." The couple were sitting on the stringpiece of the deck, and looked on without the least apparent concern as the man drowned. Then they turned away. This aiternoon the hat and coat were identified as belonging to Benjamin Baer, a cigarmaker. He has several children, who are living with his sister in Brooklyn. Who the man and woman were is not known. JERSEY LAWS DEFIED By Philadelphia Youth Who Will Ecpent Their Folly In Jnil. tsrECIAI. TXLXOKAM TO TBI DISPATCH. Philadelphia, June 1.

Seven boys, aged from 12 to 14 years, got off a train at Grand Central station early this morning, and looked about them eagerly in Forty-second street Their faces were tanned brown and they were all in plain country clothes. Two men and a woman were with them. The party had been traveling since Friday night from St. Joseph, a little village of Champaign county, Ills., and were bound to the Pasteur Institute. Every one of the seven boys had been bitten on Sunday, May 25, by a dog which developed a violent attack of rabies and died two days later. Dr. Gibier arranged to give the children their first inoculation at 2 o'clock to-day, the hour at which all his patients receive their daily treatment At 2 o'clock the front parlor of the institute was almost filled with patients. There were five men besides the seven children. While Dr, Gibier was making his pre parations the Bev. Dr. Thompson, of Columbia, Mo., who has been under treat ment for six days, was assuring the boys that they would not be hurt Dr. Gibier's French assistant came to the door and beck oned the boys into the back parlor. They' huddled in one of the corners ot the doctor s office in a frightened group. One of the 9-year-old boys was chosen first His right side was bared just above the hip and a hypodermic injection of the weakest solu tion or virus was given. The left side was treated in the same way. The boy let out one or two screams as he felt the pricks of the needle. One by one the others received the injection. Some of them were badly scared. Floyd Harvey, the youngest of the lot, a bright little fellow in dresses, took it like a little roan. The last of the boys to be in oculated was yonng Gallion, the oldest of them all. He was so thoroughly frightened that his father had to come in and help to Hold him. He had become so wrought up that he yelled at the top of his voice when the doctor first painted his skin with the disinfecting solution. None of the children have developed any symptoms of the dis ease yet, and Dr. Gibier says that there is no danger now. They will be inoculated with stronger and stronger virus for'the next two weeks, when their treatment will be com plete. GLASS W0BKEBS STOPPED.

'Mon day is suspension day under the new rules, and on the following day either the silver bill for the postponed McDuffin vs. Turpln Alabama election case is to come up. The order has not yet been finally determined, but if the leaders who are canvassing the Bepublican representa tives have progressed far enough In their count to insure the adherence of a majority to the main features of the caucus- bill, they will call it np Tfiday nncier a special rule which will limit the time for discussion and final action to a period probably not exceeding two days. The Alabama election case is expected to arouse a good deal of partisan feeling and it also may occupy two days. There is an effort making to secure consideration for the bankruptcy bill, and, as the leaders are disposed to test publie feeling in the matter, one day dnring the week may be allotted for its considera tion. The postoffice appropriation bill is also among the probable subjects for early action. In the Senate also the silver questiou promises to be the principal topic tor dis cussion. Senator Pugh is booked for the opening speech this week, and Senator Jones, in charge of the pending bill, expects that Senators Morrill and Hiscock, of the Finance Committee, and several Democratic Senators will speak in the course of the week.

Senator Allison will call up to-morrow the report on the army appropriation bill, and some discussion may ensue upon the canteen clause. The confer ence on the anti-trust bill is also ready for presentation, and may possibly be brought before Congress for action this week. THE WINNEES IN GEEENE.

Great Panic Aqodj tbe Passesgeis, Followed by a Delirium of Joy. Two trains came together on a high trestle just out of Blchmond. One contained over 1,200 passengers.

A vision of sudden death, happily unfulfilled, confronted a train full of passengers coming into the city at dark, and not one of tbem will ever for get it The "Cannon Ball" express of tbe Norfolk and Western Bailroad leaves Norfolk at 4 P, M., and is due here at 6:38. There were fourteen heavy coaches, drawn by a powerful locomotive and thronged with 1,200 people. Scores ot passengers had to stand. It was a gay and brilliant and merry making company. Alabama and Virginia soldiers in flashing uniforms, with martial bands, were com mingled with merchants, tradesmen and planters, and here and there bevies of maidens with their sweethearts made the train ring with peals of laughter and lively conversation. No presentiment of approach ing danger threw its shadow over the spirits of any one. ON A DIZZY TIADUCT. The train was delayed all along the line and an hour and a half late at Manchester, one of tbe suburbs of Bichmond. It was about 8- o'clock and the dusk of the cloud less summer evening already enwrapped the landscape as the line of coaches, with their mass of human freight rolled smoothly out of a steep embankment and then upon one the dizziest and most frightful viaducts in America. Between Richmond and Man chester a vast rift in the hills tbrought which the river, now swollen with floods, rolls its wide, tnrpid waters, is spanned by a web-like trestle as long as the Brooklyn bridge and from 60 to 100 feet above the stream. The single track is carried along the top of the viaduct, which is only a foot or two wider than the cars, and so a passenger looks from a coach window on either side directly into the abyss. The roar of the river is audible above the clatter of the train. The train had rumbled on to the center of the bridge, which in the gathering darkness seemed an endless distance from either shore, when suddenly there was a piercing shriek from tbe locomotive far ahead, followed almost instantly by the grinding and jarring noise of brakes, and the next moment a strange crash, that sound ed in each coach exactly as though a small field piece had been exploded ou the track directly beneath that car. A TERRIBLE SHOCK. The sheck was terrific. Everyone was thrown from his seat over1' the back of the one ahead or headlong into the aisle, while the crash of shivered window panes blent with the cries of excited men and the shrieks of terrified women, a score of whom fainted and lay on the car floor, where the shock had hurlpd them. For a few moments there was a panic among the passengers, who, re gaining their feet, rushed in a mob for the platform, and who, notwithstanding they saw instantly that certain death awaited such an act, were hardly restrained from jumping into the awful chasm below. Other passengers who had comprehended in a flash the meaning of their peril Kept their seats, recognizing the fatality of at tempting to lilt a finger, and "that the chance for saving their lives was too slight to be worth considering. For a moment tbe crowded coaches rocked like toy cars in the hands ot a miscbievous cbild and every one believed that tbe next instant he or she might go to the bottom otthe river. Prob ably not one of the 1,200' persons but saw he was face to face with a horrible death. After a few minutes however all excite ment had been calmed, but no one bad even an inkling for the next 20 minutes what kind of an accident bad befallen the train or could guets what the outcome of it all would be; whether the trestle would give away under the massive load or whether at any moment the cars were likely to slide off into space. a resolute conductor. The train was commanded by a man of resolution and intelligence. There had been a rumor that day that the great trestle, which is a new one, and one of the strongest iron span3 in the country, was sinking, and before advancing on the struc ture that evening the conductor had posted a guardsman at each door, whose duty it should be, if there was an accident, to stop the passengers from passing from one car to another. The precaution was a wise one. When the crash came the conductor went forward, feeling his way along the scanty footing at the side of the track, and his guardsmen in stubborn silence executed his orders. They prevented several excited passengers from throwing themselves into the river, and even went so far in obevin? orders that tbey locked the doors of one car that was filled with soldiers, shutting the troops therein. The passengers waited in stoisal silence. The roar of the river was plainly audible far below, and now anil then through tbe darkness one saw the flash of tbe muddy current. Train hands with flaring torches that flamed luridly, stole along under the cars, intently scrutinizing the running works. After 20 or 30 minutes a steam whistle was heard. With great caution the train was started, drawn backward, and so proceeding at a snail's pace it crawled off the aerial trestle and back to the village ot Manchester. A MOMENT OP JOT. Once safe in Manchester the long suspense was ended, the suppressed emotions of pas sengers broke forth, and men and women who an hour belore had been total strangers embraced each other and shook hands to gether a dozen times. The elderly and courteous old-time Southern gentleman, who had been sitting near the writer on a sort of a narrow shelf by the stove in the rear vestibule of a car, and both of whom in the shock had been hurled against the brass lattice dividing the ante chamber of the car, the Southern man having been badly hurt abont the knee, said warmly: "My daughter, who is an invalid, had in tended to take this' trip with me, and it is ot priceless importance to me that she didn't come, for the shock doubtless would have killed her. I have traveled on many rail roads and met many accidents, but if we could live a dozen lifetimes we should never be nearer eternity than we were 30 minutes -ago and escape death." The 1.2UU passengers had to trudge into Bichmond, a mile and a half, but so great was their jubilation over their escape from a hideous death, that thej- would not have grumbled if the distance had been ten times as great. cause op the accident.

Then he whistled "down brakes," and luckily the guards the conductor bad stationed at the coach platform reached the handbrakes before the engines met Tbe speed of the train was considerably slack ened, otherwise both engines and trains must have been hurled together into the river. The engines came together with a horrible crash, telescoped each other, and were utterly wrecked. Engineer Lowry, of the "shitter," was taken from his cab with a broken leg, maimed, scalded and evidently dying. His fireman had escaped by running over his tender into a passenger car. The other engineer was not badly in jured. It wts an all night job to remove the wrecked locomotives from the trestle. A REFORMER'S MEMORY HONORED BY THE NORWEGIAN DENTS OF CHICAGO. BESI. Herole Work of Marcos Throne, the Asso ciate of Ibsen Imprisoned for Advo. eating- a Cause Tbnt Brought Freedom to Many His Escape to America. Chicago, June L A large audience, composed principally of Scandinavians, as sembled in Aurora Turner Hall this after noon to do honor to the memory of Marcus Thrane, the distinguished Norwegian re former, who died April 30 at Eau Clare, Wis., after a long life devoted to the service of his country men. A fine musical programme had been prepared, and there were speeches by Dr. A. Doe and General Trumbull. Let ters were read from Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll and Christopher Janson. Dr. Doe, the first speaker, in the course or avery interesting review of Dr. Thrane's life, gave a synopsis of his career, with which the American pnblic generally is familiar. "The man whom we honor this afternoon," he said, "devoted his life to the uplifting of his countrymen and especially tbe cause of the Scandinavian peasants. A graduate of the TJniversity of Christiana scholarly, traveled and used to a life of ease, he agi tated the question of reforms in the land, school and religious system of Norway, until, on a charge of conspiring against the Government, he was thrown into prison. He was sentenced to three years' solitary imprisonment, but through the efforts of a lawyer named Dunk, er he was released before his term of im prisonment expired. He, however, found it necessary to emigrate to America to escape farther persecution. He advocated his re forms through' a paper which he published in Christianaj which attained a very large circulation. i "In this publication Henrik Ibsen, since become famous, was his associate editor. It is said that some of the most radical articles published were written by Ibsen. One of tbe most important reforms that came as a result of Thrane's efforts was the ameliora tion of the feudal tenure under which the Norwegian peasantry were held practically as vassals to the owners of the soil. This reform brought relief to about 50.000 fam ilies." A DANGEBOUS CUSTOMER. A Yonng; Tough Assaults His Stepfather aad Tries to Kilt an Gutcer.

ABou Quarter million r2& The Estimated Population of the City, and Fully Twice That IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY, ALL TOLD. Interesting Interviews lYith Business Hen and Manufacturers ON TUB WORE OP THE LAST TEH TEAE3 A number of interviews with business men and manufacturers of Pittsburg show the surprising growth of the city and Alle gheny county since the last census was taken. An average of the estimates on present population gives Pittsburg nearly 250,000 population, and the county about twice that number. Consolidation of the twin cities is favored by many of those interviewed. To-day tbe census enumerators begin their unpleasant task, and In a few weeks the re sults of their work will be known. The eleventh census of the United States will show marvelous growth in Pittsburg and Allegheny, and in the county. In 1880 the population of Pittsburg was 156,389. The estimates made by men who give atten tion to public matters and improvements vary from 230,000 to 260,000 for this year. A population of 240,000 will be an increase of 53 per cent in ten years. In 1880 the real estate valuation of Pitts burg was 593,728,000. In 1890 it is fixed by the city assessors at $200,000,000, an in crease in ten years of 113 per cent. These figures give an ide of the great growth of Pittsburg in wealth, its real property in creasing in value considerably bejond the ratio of increase in population. In 1880 Pittsburg was the twelfth city in population. This year its people expect to take eleventh place, passing Cleveland. If Pittsburg and Allegheny were consolidat ed, the combined city would be the eighth city in the United States, being surpassed only by New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Brooklyn, Boston, St. Louis and Baltimore. LNCBEASE IN MANUFACTURES. It is impossible to obtain in advance any reliable figures concerning the increase in manufacturing in this busy center of industry. A number of man ufacturers say that tbe iron industry has been doubled in product. In 1880, in Pittsburg, there were 39 iron and steel man ufactories, with a capital of 25,000,000; there were 66 foundries and machine shopv with a capital of -$4,100,000. The amount invested in all industries in this city in 1880 was $52,645,000. In 1S90 this fizure will easily reach 190,000,000. There has been no very 'large increase in tne glass manufacture in the city, but outside of the city, in the county, the plate glass industry has been created since 1880 with at least 55,000,000 in vested in real estate and machinery. In comparing the school statistics there is a remarkable discrepancy between the esti mated percentage ot increase in population and the estimated increase in percentage of enrollments in the public schools. In 1880 there were 24,325 school children enrolled. In 1890 there are 30,000. The increase in ten years is only 23 per cent. It is estimated that there are now at least 4,000 children in the Botnan Catholic Church scnools who do not attend the public schools. COMPAEATrVE SCHOOL. FIGUBES.

There are now 200 miles of pipe. Ten years ago the daily consumption oi water was 16,000.000 gallons. Now it is 39,000,000 gallons daily, an increase of 144 per cent. This exceeds largely the ratio of highest possible increase in population. It means that manufacturing establishments use more water, tiiat the number of eleva tors run by water has largely incieased pro portionately, and that a great amount of water is used on thennmerous paved streets, parks and lawns which have come into exis tence during the decade. There are 176 ele vators, using 275,000,000 gallons of water a year. THE GROWTH OF ALLEGHENY. In 1880 the population of Allegheny City was 78,682. Now it is estimated at from 115.000 to 126,000. One oi the most notable lines of improve ment is in the traction roads of the city. Ten years ago there were no cabin or electno roads in the city. Now there are three cable and two electric lines in successful opera tion, with more soon to follow. In 1880 there were 24,289 dwellings in Pittsburg. Now the annual increase in tbe number of dwelling houses is over 2,500, showing that the city is gaining In dwell ings at the rate of as many in ten years as there were altogether in 1880. During 1889 3.265 buildings of all kinds were erected in Pittsburg, of which 1,213 were brick, 231 stone, 49 iron-clad and 4 iron. Tbe total value of the building operations last yesr was 16,845,000. Curing the year there were put up 14 churches, 9 foundries, 6 banks and 20 warehouses. FIGDkES OP A STATISTICIAN. M R. GEORGE H. THURSTON GUESSES 525,000 FOR THE COUNTY- He Says Accurate Retnrns on Easiness Will be Ilard to Secure What lie Has Ob served for Three Decades Arguments for Consolidation. Mr. George H. Thurston, a well-posted gentleman, when asked his views on the Bnbject of Pittsburg's growth in the past ten years, said: "It is difficult to give any estimate of tbe population of Pittsburg ia 1890. The facilities for local transit have so increased in the past decade that the growth of population has overflown into the suburbs, while the city has not enlarged its bound aries. I would rather give a guess as to the popnlationof the county. By the census there was in 1870 a population of 199,000 in tbe two cities and the borough so Imme diately adjoining that only a waty , vffvnp'i Iitim indicates whitm tin. .itvi i I IContinuei on Fifth PaacA , i f$m Y 4 d m f ,rWMKM
