Sknat r .Toms J. I .vol i. is had bis day

purpose of the piogrcssive citizens of
Ill's country that the colored voters of
the South t-hall exeicise their rights
tnast tiave opened the eyes of the Bour
bon members of the I'nited States Sen

present Congress nmst serve to convince
S'ime of them at least, that the citizen
ship of the colored man must lie accept

to lie settled till it is settled right. All
fair minded men who read Senator In

A mono the drift that floats from the
provisional government of Brazil is newa
of a revolution in the calcniar. The
year, w hich is made opof twelve months
in all Christian countries, is to be tnada
op of thirteen in tle new republic, and
this, apparently, with no other motive
than by wty of doing something w hich
Christian countries don't do. In like
manner the old names of the n.oatba ara
to be changed. Instead of January wa
are to hear of Shake?pore nmutlr ; Feb
ruary is to be Homer month, and so on.
Thw is worts than the puerility of Celti
cism. If the new republic caa cause educa
tion to become more general, taxation to
be lower, life and property more secure,
religious free lorn to be tnose absolute,
wngesto be higher.commei.-e to be more
active, mancfactnres to be more develop
ed than under the old monarchy, then
the republic will be successfjl. Bet
there is nothing msgical in the nnme of
republic Those of Venice, and of France
in the last century, to wit. Nor will
nrrMTess be secured to Brazil by boyinb
juggling w itb the names and number of
months in the calendar.
SaTs -the Pittsburgh Cr.timerc.al Gi
ant: There is danger that the work of
the Road Commission w ill come to noth
ing through the epirit of selfishness as
manifested in a fear of taxation. A great
Ptate like Pennsylvania should have no
difficulty in raising enough money to in
augurate a thorough system o: roaa
building without imposing onerous tax
burdens on any class. The farmers are
certainly as much interested in good
roads as any other class, and yet indica
tions are cropping out that they will not
advocate anr plan which does not con
template the building of the road by the
State. This will be opjKised by the
owners of city property, who are already
iffhlv taxed, but w hen a vote is reached
on a question on w hich the rnral inter
ests are united the city and suburban
represeatatives are easily' outvoted.
It is all well enough to say that every
community should make its own roads,
and pay for them. That is the custom
no, and we all know the result. The
main I: borough fares are, for the most
psrt, in wretched condition during the
wiuter. and not near as good as they
should be the rest of the year. The
State must make a radical change in the
svstem. or the roads will not be im
proved. It will not do to leave the work
to township supervisors, an hereto. re,
but iust how far the State should take
control is a question that th Uoa i Com
mission should study carefully before
reaching a conclusion.
Coff Pleada For a Fair Count.
Charlbktok, V?. Va., Jan. 21. General
Nathan Cmd" appeared before the joint As
sembly of the two Ho'ises of the Wis'.ature
to-day and spoke in hehalf of h'rue!f as
coniesteein the famous gubernatorial von
tesl now ptnding before the Ix-gish.ture be
tween A. II. Fleming and Nathan Guff. The
House of J'clegates. when? the joint session
was held, was crowded all day. On both
floor and gallery s;rc !y stand big room was
obtainable. The guilt ry was filled with col
ons! admirers ol the sneaker. (iotT 'poke
the full five hours which had been allowed
him.
He thank?d the noue for permitting him
to appear personally and plead that cause
which he said was not his own. but that of
TP.onO voters in the Suw who, he said, eject
ed him Governor. II s nude an speal to
the I egislatuie to act camful'y and to
commit no error. Other cnurta err and there
is remedy, other jtuls may go wrong and
may be corrected. Front the decision of this
emulative court there can be no appeal. Tiie
judgment is final. The question lo decide is
not who was wanted for Governor, but who
was elected in November, 1H.S4. He referred
to the frauds said to have been com in it led at
ibe election.
" Many a time," he said, " has my blood
rnn quicker, my checks turned crimson,
when asked of the charges against the purity
of the ballot. I have always repudiated the
charges. I do so now. AM the charges
may be true and still show no ureat number
of fraudulent vole, and fewer in proportion
to the total vote than in other tftaU r."
He spoke of the development of counties:
by new railroads and coalmine. In these
large number of votes had been deducted
from GoflT s vote. " Those w hose votes were
cast out were not residents of Virginia ; they
a there at work earning an honest living."
GofI then took up a li-l of voles a inch bad
been rejected as illegal by the nii'j ri!y of
.he committee and dwelt lon on imlivi.lu il
cases. He had plenty of lime to go over the
entire list of votes rejected, and ohjtsMed to
each. But out of over 4'K votes for him re
jected by the committee, he only look up :.
The speech wasdiguifietl and eloquent and
received much applause.
Powderly For Governor.
SratNTOH. Ta.. Jan. 23. Some persons

A loral leader whose relations to Mr.
Powderly are more than friend'y said in ref

that Mr. Powderly would enter into the eon
test of his own course, but the friends of the
General Master Workman not only in
ScTanton but in some of the other large cit
ies of the State were determined to have him
stand for Governor, and if Terence V. Pow

Tha State Road Laws.
ntaEiserir,. I'a., Jan. 21. The road law
commission attended tbe meeting of the
State Board of agriculture to-day. (iovernor
Beaver opened the topic. "The Bouds and
Road Laws of Pennsylvania." Herald this
year had demonstrated that the road laws
were in a deplorable condition. In many
cases eight and JO horst-s were required to
do the work of two. Good roads, he said,

abolition of a'l suj n ieors in a couuty ex

tbe law of lYi a gotsj law at the time but
that was over oO years ago and circumstances
had changed. He thought it desiruble for

making good roads at any cost.

J INCALLS IN HIS ELEMENT.
i
: The Kansas Senator Plaads for th
! Colored Race.
Vt'AStnsi.TON. Jan. 21. At 2 o'clock to djy
Mr. Ingails arose in the Senate chamber and
moved the consideration of the bill provid
ing that people of color be assisted in emi
prating from the Soutb. As the Senator
from Kansas took the floor a cry ot hush
waa heard and tbe hum of voices suddenly
ceased. Tbe galleries were crowded, niaiy
distinguished persons being present, and
the was hardly a vacant sea: on the floor.
I'jmn the n quest of the Senator from Kan
sas, Chief Clerk Johnson resd tbe bill slowly
and distinctly. Mr. Ingalls then stepped to
one side of bis desk, which was ovarad with
documents, and said :
Mr. President, the race to Which e belong
is the most arrogant and pretentious, tb
most exclusive and indomitable in history.
Individualism, hberty. fraternity and equali
ty have been its contribution to the State.
Every other race bas been its enemy or its
victim. At every step of its progress, from
barbarism to enlightenment, the Caucasian
race has refused to assimilate with tba Mon
golian and African.
The ablest soothsayer could not have fore
told ihe wooderful development of tba first
century of American Independence. The
front i r has been abolished, the climate con
qut red, sod tbe desert subdued. From Ihe
latent resounies of the American Constitu
tion has been evoked great and unexpected
lowers. In it every crerd has found a sanc
tuary, every wrong a redress. Vpon the
threshold of our second century the people
of the Vniied States were confronted by the
most portentous problem ever placed before
a free people for solution. It involved in
Ihe btUef of many (but not in mine) the
lriuaneny of our form of government. It
must be considered frankly and freely, with
out subterfuge and wilbout reserve.
Mr. Ingalis paid a glowing tribute to the
late Henry W. Grady, from whose oration,
delivered in Boston in December last, be
quoted. Then discussing the arithmetic of
the question he faid that in 1S00 there were
in the United Slates M40J00 ; in 18T04.4S0,
Ouo ; in IShO t.:tt0.000 negroes. He wished
lo say in passing that it waa his belief that
the increase shown from 1S70 to 18.su was a
deliberate, premeditated fraud upon tbe
census, committed fur the purpose of obtain
ing an increased representation. Continuing,
he said :
A COMPLICATED PBOltLXM.
To complicate the problem the negro is
gregarious. The line of clesvage between
the white man and the black is distinct and
clear. There is neither amalgamation, ab
sorpl or, or assimilation between the races.
Fred Douglas, the must illustrious living
representative of his twee (greater by his
Caucasian reinforcement than by his African
blood), said to me that when the prejudice
disappeared the races would become homo
geneous. I do not believe it. Such a solu
tion of the difficulty ia improbable : if pos
sible, most deplorable. History shows that
where the white and black came together
during the period of slavery it was by com
pulsion. The children born claimed white
fathers and black mothers ; never black
fathers and white mothers. There is no
poisoning so fatal as adulteration of race.
The leaders of tbe South have come to tbe
conclusion that the present state of affairs
cannot exit. They ask that tbe affair be
amicably discussed.
I do not claim a superiority of virtue for
the North. My ancestorsowned slaves Tle
conscience of New England was not aroused
to a sense of tbe enormity of the slave sys
tem until it became unprofitable. Laugh
ter. Besides, a large jiart of the "people of tbe
Foiled States did not contemplate the free
ing of the negro in the war for the Union.
When the negro was freed he was given the
franchise not foi the purpose of perpetu
ating the Bep'ihiicau party. Tbat calumny
has grown old enongh to be superannuated
and placed on the retired list. If the negro
were not here 1 thing tbe people of tbe
United Slates to-day would hesitate to in-
vile him here ; and with tbe experience of
two centuries of slavery and 25 years of os
tensible freedom, I la-lieve they would pre
fer to have them remain in association with
their brethren on tbe Daik Continent. But
ll.e negroes are here. They are of ancient
linesge in fad, genuine f. f. v's. laugh
ter By their sobriety and steadiness they have
juMiiied the judgment of those who relieved
them. But to what does their freedom
amount T Their citixensl ip is a uame. Tbe
black vote of the South is practically sup
pressed. Senators, editors and the leaders
of the South have announced their inteB
Lion of breaking the control of the negro.
OCT or TULIB OWK MOUTHS.
Then saying that he would bring only
Southern men and Democrats as witnesses,
Mr. Ingalls read an extract from the Mem
phis Acalanrht! that stated that "Chalmers
could not get the o!Hce of Governor. This
extract wa? printed in October last. On the
i:h of that month the Jiu(iaeAe had ssid
deliberately thst the South did not propose
lo be governed by the negro under any con
ditions. On account of this condition of
al'jirs General Chalmers had withdrawn
from the race for Governor. Mr. Ingalls
quoted at length from General Chalmer s
address to the Republican voters of Missis
i s:pni. He considered that address, he said,
one of the most tragic utterances that had
ever occurred in political history.
There had been another election in Mis
sissippi with which the country was some
what fa niliar. He sent to the clerk's desk
to he read an extract from the Jackson
Clarion of Januiry 2. In this extract was
lheconctant .eileration of theannonncement
thai tbe "Hegolars." the "Bulldoseis," etc ,
would hs on hand to see that there was a
"fair elect-on." At the end of tbe enunci
ation Mr. Ingalls remaiked sententious).?,
" They were all there, Mr. President."
(Laughter
A CRISIS Mt'ST COME.
A number of other references were made,
and the Senator continued:
The South evidently intends depriving tbe
negroes of their votes and their independ
ence; and practically the North has acqui
esced in this. Forced attempts have been
made to pass civil rights laws and Federal
election laws, but tbey have failed. . The
negro bas beeu abandoned by the North.
But I wish to warn tbe people of the Sooth
, that the North, the West and the East will
not allow their commerce, tteir manufact
ures and their social condition to be modifi
ed by executive and Congressional mijori
ties, obtained by tbe suppression of the col
ored vote or of any ol her vote. No one can
tell Low long this patient endurance of the
North will contj nue ; but that the crisis will
come, in peace or in blood, is the inexorable
decree of fate. If :bis condition of affairs
continues nothing can avert arrued collision
between the races in the South. Ultimately
the colored race will be stmng enongh to
resist violeuce and Intelligent enongh to re
sent frand. The South is standing on a vol
cano. It is sitting on the safety valve. It is
breeding innumerable John Browns and
Nat Turners. Already the use of the torch
and the dagger has been advised. I deplore
it ; but, 1 (i.xl is my judge, no oilier race in
the history of the world has submitted to
the wrongs heaped npon the negro in the
last 25 years without revolution ai.d blood
shed. Mr. Ingails sent to the cleik's desk, to I
read, newspaper extracts to suow that the
"theory of extermination" wss already be
ing put into practice. In one of these it was
stall d thst 155 nrgrocs were lynched in Mis
sissippi last year. Then continuing:
The negro is no Coward. He was brought
here a prisoner of war. Tbe Athenians
erected a slotneto op. who was born a
s)ee. Tbe American nation abonld also
place the slave upon an eternal pedestal."
Hie conduct baa been most aimira'ile. Des
potism has made Nihilists, tyranny Com
munists ; injustice is the greatest manufact
urer of dynamite. The South should re
member that there is nothing so unprova
ble as injustice, and that God is a relmtln
creditor. The Booth Is in greater danger
than lh enfranchised slave. It ha loaded
Itself with heavier luanaclea than those with
which it burdened lha negro.
There i no affection betwsrn the North
and South. Tbe South has not forgiven tbe
North for its supremacy and ita superiority.
The South has not accepted theiiaendmenls
to the Constitution in good faith. Tbey have
their own heroes and anniversaries. They
exaited their leaders above the leaders of
tbe Union cause. Until these conditions are
changed co-operation iu solving the South
ern problem can not be expected from the
North. The South must tred the wine-press
alone. I can understand the reverence of the
Soulhern people for JefTerson Davis, and I
hocor them for their constancy to that he
roic man. Ideas can never be anmlilated,
and no man was ever on verted by being
overpowered, r1s bad not ''rookcd tba
pregnant hinges of the knes that thrift might
follow fawning. " He had remained to the
end the immovable type, exponent and rep
resentative of tbo-w ideas for which be had
staked all and lost all. On the occasion of
tba death of Jefferson Davis, tbe town of
Aberdeen, in the Bute of Mississippi, was
shrouded in mourning. The court boose
waa draped, and, as one evidence of their
grief, the people of that town struug upon a
cable an etilgy which they had labeled "Bed
Proctor. " To that town of Aberdeen came
a tinner named Faux, small of stature, inof
fensive of demeanor aud conciliatory of ad
dress. Whiie working on the roof of one of
the houses to which waa attached the cable
bearing the efligy of Red Proctor, the tinuer
Faux, had occasion to move the cable. It
slipped and the efngy fell. He protested
thai he bad no desire to offend tbe citizens
of Aberdeen, yet when he came down from
that roof he was intercepted by a man nam
ed McDonald, who delivered at least 200
blows upon his person with a large whale
bone whip. That evening the citizens bought
a ticket and sent Faux out of town and he
has never been beard of since. McDonald
was punished. He was fined and tbe
the people about him raised $i!0 to repay
him. If such an outrage had been perpetra
ted on an American citizen iu England a
million men would have sprung to arms to
avenge the insult. I have said that I do not
believe in the Africanization of this country
or any part of it ; but if this is a specimen
cf Mississippi justice I would rather a thous
and fold that that State should be inhabited
by negroes than by the people now living
there.
TBI ONLY SOLlTlOSa.
There are five means of solving this race
problem. The first is amalgamation ; the
second, extirmination ; the third, separation;
and the fourth disfranchisement. The fifth,
the universal solvent of all bnman difficul
ties, has never ben proposed or tried, and
that ia tbe solution of justice "for which
every place should be a temple and all places
sanctuary. " I appeal to the South to stack
its guns and to register every voter, black
and white. And if when -the experiment
has been fairly tried it should he proved that
the complexion, bunied on tbe negro by
an African tun. is incompatible with free
dom, I pledge myself to nuite with the peo
ple of tbe South in finding auother wsy out
of this difficulty. Till then nothing can be
done.
Those who freed the South ask nothing
more: they will be conttnt with nothing
less. The experiment must be fairly tried.
This is the starting point and this the goal.
The longer it is deferred tbe greater will be
tbe exasperation and the more doubtful will
be tbe Coal result.
Mi. Ingalls finished bis speech at 4 r. x.(
and, upon taking hir seat, was loudly ap
plauded. The Senate at once adjuunied un

National Cruaadera.
CcivtLAsn,' 0, Jan. 23 Among the
letters read at the opening of the non-partisan
W. C. T. U. Convention this morning
was one from Judge Tourgee, saying:
As a student of political history, I venture
the assartiun that no minority has ever
withdrawn from the parent body under
greater provocation or mora thoroughly ex
ssiieraiing conditions, or ever done so with
more self respecting dignity. There is hard
ly anything in politics that has seemed more
horrible than tbe assumption of the dele
gates to Ihe W. C. T. U. Convention of the
power to pledge their membership, not only
to the dogma of female suffrage, but lo that
infamous and degrading plank of the Prohi
bition plailoriu which pronounced in favor
of excluding the colored in tn from the suf
frage, lacause of ihe enforced illiteracy which
while American Christians had by the law
imposed upon the race for two centuries and
a half.
eOET WRITTlSa's LETTXB,
A letter from I'oel Wbittier, to which at

Illness prevents me from doing more than
to thank thee for ihy letter, ami to say that
I have always regietted the action of tbe W,
C. T. I'., in taking a partisan position. I do
not, by any means imfieach tbe motives of
tbe noble and devoted women of that organ i
zation, but I have seen no g-iod accomplish

non-psnisaii s-otkers will not waste time
and strength in combating the political or
ganization ; hut go forward in their own
way, which. I think, ts.tlie best way, arid Jas
far as I can 'ee, the only one lo accomplish
the great object of temperance effort. With
all good wishes, I am tby friend.
Tbe preamble to the Constitution of the

"Viewing with the deepest Solicitude the

their ability to brAk the blockade and keep
tbe road open when the blockade is raised.
Tkix-kcf, Cal Jan. 23 At Summit and
Cisco the snow-fall is reported the heaviest
of any day since the storm began. It wss
snowing and blowing hard on the mountains
last night. Tbe snow plow train was kept
running all night from Summit to the tun

much as possible.
Uxowat r, Nev., Jan. 23. The weal her is
still blustery, and the "storm, with high
winds, is causing the snow to drift badly,
filling up the roads and cuts as soon ss
opened for travel. The mercury was 30 de
grees below zero on Tuesday night. Oie,
Stewart and his teamster, near Greenup, got
lost iu the storm with twenty mule learns,
and wandered around in the cold and deep
snow all night. When dayjight came they
were within one mile of their home, hut al
most perished. The mules were so exhaust
ed thai they would not pnll a wagon to the
ranch.'

in ten days over the Union Pacific Railroad
arrived here yesterday morning. Passengers
report snow blockade near Baker City,

number of women and children being taken
sick, and receiving iio other attention than
tbat extended by their fellow-passengers.

WRECKED BY CAS.
Three Terrlbio Accldante at Colum
bus Thnrsday.
Con-MDf. O., Jan. 24 There is a scene of
death and destruction in this ci'.y to-night.
whe horrible fr atnres and sickeiiingdetails
are surpassed only by the Johnstown flood.
Never in the h'uitory of Ohio has such a
dreadful disaster occurred as thst which sent
thrills of horror through the thousands who
witnessed it to-ulght. A double explosion
occurred, and it dealt out destruction with
dual force.
A few minutes after & o'clock an alarm of
fire sounded, calling out the entire depart
ment. Tbe streets were thronged wilh the
thousands of toiUrs who were retuniirg lo
thetr homes from workshops and factories,
and they quickly spread the news that a
frightful calamity bad happened in tbe
southern part of the city. The streets lead
ing to that place were soon crowded with
people going to tbe scene. Their presence
there heaped horror upon horror, as w ill be
teen later on. An explosion bad occurred
at the double residence of Messrs. Michael
Bowers and John Marriott, at the corner of
Wall and Noble alley.
CAL'SID BV HATCH II. CAS.
The cause of the calamity was an accumu
lation of natural gas iu the cellar of the
house referred to. Tbe city baa recently
been supplied with natural gas, and leading
past the honse of Marriott and Bowers is
one of the mains through which the fluid is
furnished to tbe public. The pipes had
leaked and the explosive fuel had found its
way through fissures in the ground to the
cellar which was the seat of the horror. It
became ignited in some nnknown manner
and exphjded with terrific force, wrecking
the building and filling the air with debris.
Mrs. Marriott was blown out of the house,
and a man named Goulding. who was stand
ing near the structure, was blown across the
street. Mrs. Marriott was carried across the
street into the residence of William James.
Dr. Wissinger, a prominent, physician, was
called to attend her injuries. The house
where tbe injured lady lay was soon crowd
ed with people attracted by the accident,
and it was soou necessary to close the doors
that no more might enter.
sot a wobo or WABSISO.
Little knew those scores of spectators hud
dled around the sutTerer tbat they were
standing in a death trap, which was on the
verge of carrying them into eternity. Sud
denly the air was rent by a thunderous ex
plosion", which made the earth quake and
filled tbe air with flying timbers, bricks
and debris of all kinds. Darkness ensued,
and then a death like stillness reigned for a
few moments. It was broken by shrieks
and death groans. The bouse in which lay
the powerless form of Mrs. Marriott was
blown to stoma and its occupants buried
beneath the wreck. Hundreds of spectators
who lined the sidewalk were knocked vio
lently down by the shock and laid power
less. STILL A !t OTHER IIOKROB.
Then to cap the climax, a team of spirited
hofses attached to one of the fire department
tracks became terrified by the explosion,
and dashed away into Ihe street, carrying
death in their wake. They ran over and in
jured scores of people. A beautiful little
babe was knocked from its mother's arms,
and falling beneath the wheels of tbe vehicle
was crushed to death.
HIARTRKSmSO SCENES.
As soon as the maddened steeds bad dis
appeared in the darkness, many of the spec
tators and fiiemen who had been uninjured
by either of the horrors, turned their atten
tion to d;ggiug out the persons buried be
neath the ruins of the house. Guid.d by
the cries and moans of the mangled and dy
ing, men groped in the darkness, pulling out
a dead body here, a mangled yet living form
there, and conveying them to resting places.
Groups of men, women and children gather
ed a rounded the prostrate forms, and blood
curdling shrieks made the awful scene more
revolting, as friends rvcoguisad friends in
jured or dead : parents found their mutilated
children and vice versa. Il required several
hours to remove all the dead and injured
from the ruins, and it is nut yet known who
and how many are the victims.
Tbe houses for several blin ks around the
sesne of the explosion have been turned in
to hospitals, where many are being-cared for.
Miss Belle Smith, who was badly injured,
bad gone into the doomed house just prior
to tbe explosion. Her face was badly bruis
ed and she was suffering from many bruises
about the body. She was almost complete
ly buried in ihe debris and bad lo be dug
out. The doctors pronounce her injuries
serious, but think she will recover. Elmer
Gates, a young man, was standing opposite
the house when the second explosion occur
red, and was struck by a missile w hich broke
his leg.
A young man named Meshllder, who is a
resident of Granville, was severely burned
and shocked.
Pet Merritt, a 115 year old girl, was severe
ly bunied about the shoulders and chest.
When she reached the street she was almost
naked. Her life was saved by turning a
strain of water on her.
STOKIKS Or SPECTATORS.
Dr. T. K. Wissinger was in the James
house when he was hurt. He was attending
a patient injured at the other place when
the second explosion occurred. He says he
suddenly saw the flames ciecping along the
floor and immediately threw himself under
a table and placed his hands over his faie
to shield his eyes. Benjamin Morgan, also
a spectator, was badly injured. lie was
knocked down by one of the hose carts in
the general rush for safety after Ihe first ex
plosion, and then was run over by the mad
crowd. Morgan lives at Shawnee and was
a delegate to tbe miners convention, which
has been in session here. He is thought to
be internally injured.
Theodore Shouting was watching the fire
across the street when the explosion occur
red. The blaze and fulling debris frightened
the horses of a hose cart, which whee-led
aud ran onto the pavement. The gentleman
was knocked down and had one leg broken
in two places.
Tom Doyle, a saloon porter, was burned
in a most horrible manner. When the im
promptu bandages were removed from bis
hands the flesh dropped ofT in many places,
leaving his bones expoted. Police o:Iicer
Lynsky was in the house at the time it fell
and was badly injured. The scenes at the
morgue are ghastly. The remains of those
kilU-d : are cut and burned almost beyond
recognition.
Peter Marriott, a lamp lighter, occupied
one part of an adjoining house, which was
wrecked. He has four children, and all cf
them were badly injured. Another part of
the bouse was occupied by a widow, who
disappeared when the explosion occurred
and cannot be found. Archie McNeil had
his leg broken and was otherwise injured.
Mr. McNeil was one of the by slanders who
wss caught by the falling wails.
MAOC A MAXIAC.
The saddest rase was that of F.d Pfeifer.
He was struck by the falling limbers and
terribly cnt about the head. The shock of
the blows rendered tbe man a raving maniac
for the time being. It required the nutted
efforts of several men to hold him on the
seat of the patrol wagon as it dashed up tbe
street
At midnight half a dozen people were un
accounted for, among whom were the widow
Tull and her son, who occupied part of the
first bouse that exploded.

New York, January 25. Geo. H. LounJs
berry, who resigned as cashier of Ihe New
York Postofflee yesterday, shtt himself dead
at Hackensack, N. J., this evening. It is
reported that there is a defhrieney of $25,OUO
in his accounts.
Lonndsberry bad been in the postoffice for
nineteen years, and before that bad been as
sistant cashier in the Custom House. He
waa a member of the grain commission firm

good habits and bad an interesting family at
Hackeneack.
Suffering In South Dakota.
Chicaoo, January 2. An Associated Press
reporter, just from Ibfl Northwest, brings
with him a tale tif horrible suffering and des
titution In nineteen counties cf South Da
kota. F. E. Faxton, a well-to-do business
mnn o Shabhons, DtKalb county, tbisState,
who has spent some days ia tbe afflicted dis
trict, says : '
"The successive failure cf four years' crops
has reduced those formerly well-to-do to a
condition of direct distress. Many thousand
of families are entirely without racsnj of
Buy kind. They lack tbe wherewithal to
purchase the necessaries of life, w hile the
ominous placard confronts them in every
store where they once had credit! 'No trust
given ; goods sold for cash only. Mr. Pax
ton described tbe condition of the people in
Kingsbury and Miner oounlitM as simply
heartrending.
Tbe women and children bear evidences
of the hardships they have undergone in
their pinched and meagre faces. In many
instances tbey ara unprovided with slithlng
with which to withstand the rigors of wint
er, what tbey now have being in a ragged
and wornout condition. Atone place, said
Mr. Paxtou, I saw two children walking
wilh their feet wrapped up in pieces of old
blanket through the suow. They told me
tbey had no shoes for many months. I lifted
the youngest up, a girl of 7 or 8 years; she
was little better than a skeiton.
Mr. Paxton exhibited a map which he
said had been marked by Ihe Governor, show
ing the area over which the destitution ex
tended. It includes the counties above nam
ed. Mrs. A. C. Cleveland, of F.jruood, S. D.,
confirms Mr. Paxton 's story of tbe wide
spread destitution prevailing. This lady is
now in Minneapolis, where she is making
heroic efforts iu behalf of the sufferers. She
says flour is very badly needed and will try
and induce Minneapolis millers to donate
at a car-load.
The Ditman Mystery.
Philadelphia, Jan. 2(5. The mystery
surrounding the disappearance of Bunker
Joseph C. Ditman, who was last seen alive
December 11 last, was cleared up to-day by
the finding of his decomposed and swollen
body floating on the Schuylkill river, under
the Pennsylvania railroad bridge at Filbert
street. It had apparently just risen to the
surface. The discovery was made by three
employes of the Philadelphia gas works.
The body was taken on board the police tug
and a search of the clothing made, which
settled beyond all doubt the question of iden
tity. The diamond ring and gold watch worn
by Mr. Ditman when alive were found, and
in a wallet in an inside pocket of the coat
besides some pipers, was a card requesting
the finder, in case of accidental death, to no
tify James Pitcher, secretary M ituil Acci
dent Association, SiJ Broadway, New York.
The card indicated that deceased was in
sured in tbat association for $-XM.
On the afternoon of December II Banker
Ditman started out from his home for a
drive in Fairmont Patk. About dusk a park
guard found his horse and buggy in the park,
the vehicle being em;fy. The reins were
broken near the animal's head, and the first
impression was lha'. there had been a runa
way and that the banker was thrown from
his buggy into the Witer. The dragging of
the bottom of the river was commenced and
kept up for several weeks. Dynamite was
also used, but all efforts to bring the body
to the surface proved unavailing.
When found to-day there were no marks
f)f violence discernible on the body and
whether it is a case of accident or suicide
will probably never be known. At the time
of his disappearance Mr. Ditman was presi
dent of the Quaker City National bauk.
His Own Detective.
New York. Jan. 23. In front of the As
tor house, Olficer Walsh, of the Brcadway
squad, saw a man pull oat a revolver, sneak
up behind another man, and putting tbe re
volver in front of his face command him to
stand still. The officer rushed up and
knocked the revolver to the sidewalk and
put tbe owner of it under arrest. They
went to the Tombs, where a goes! case de
veloped itself. The man who held the re
volver is Richard A. E. Oncbli-r, who, on
Nov. I, was robbed of $1,500 in a Bowery
dive in a three card monte game. He then
notified the central office of the occurrence,
but they fioled to make an arrest nntil Goeb
ler, through his own detective work, caused
the arrest of William Johnson, on the Bow
ery, about four weeks ago. He hunted for
Davis, Johnson's pal, until he saw him
walking down Broadway. The officer was a
surprised man when he learned that the
man who was going lo be a complainant was
none other than a perjurer wanted by the
police. Davis wss handcuffed and brought
to the district attorney's office.
Four Killed at a Crossing.
Chicago, Jan. 21. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
Payne were killed this afternoon while on
the way to witness tbe interment of their .1
months, old child in Rose Hill Cemetery.
Simon Anderson, f he driver of their carriage
and Mrs. Repmgal, who was accompany
ing them on their sad errand, were also kill
ed. Near the cemetery gate the carriage had to
cross tbe tracks of the Chicago and North
western Railroad, The hearse reached tbe
graveyard entrance without mishap, and
was being followed by the carriage.
No flagman is stationed at Ihe crossing by
the rail rord, and the driver did not see the
in bound Chicago expre-e tintiHt was almost
npon him. The engine struck the centre of
the carriage and utterly demolished it.
Tbe 0 year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Pane was also in the carriage, but strangely
e nough escaped with slight scalp wounds.

Destitution in Fact.
Chicago, January 7. The report of the
destitution in South Dakota resulting from
crop failure, waa further confirmed to-day
by three railway officials who are in a posi
tion to know the fact. According to these
gentlemen the majority of sufferers are con
fined to a strip of conn try 60 miles wide
and extending on both sides of the railroad
from Harrardeu lo Aberdeen. Mr. Crandon,
who has just returned from a trip lo Dakota,
said the crop failure and consequent priva
tion is in probably 15 different counties, but
with the' exception of Miner, no entire
county failed to produoe some grain.
The residents of Miner couuty are, there
fore, in greater want than meut of their
neighbors. Citizens of many of the districts
where tbe crops failed are in need of food,
clothing and fuel all necessities of life.

BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
A Tes-Year-Okl Child Sired After Iks Faihirs ef
Four Physicians,
My little girl, ten years of age, was taken strk
in March, 1S8, with scarlet fever. When recov
ering she took a severe cold, which developed
Bright" Uisease of the Kidneys. Her ankles, feet
were terribly swollen ; she had a burning fever,
anlc ail the symptoms of an aggravated ease of
Brlght's Disease. The seat physicians attended
her, and
Her Life was Dispaired Of.
But a mother's love and prayers surmount all
difficulties, and I determined to try Dr. David
Kenaedy's Favorite Remedy, made at Rondoot,
N. Y. This was a last resort, and I hoped, al
though tbe case was a very severe one, that the
Favorite Kemedy would do for her what It had
done for others. How happy I am that I deter
mined upon this course. The fever left her her
appetite improved aud one by one the well
kuown symptoms or the disease left her. Words
fail to express my gratliude, and I cannot too
earnestly recommend the Favorite Remedy. It
