TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Run Over by the Cars.
A Fatal Result Not Improbable.

A terrible accident, occurred at the depot
yard of the Chicago 4 Rock Island road, at
about half past eleven o'clock today lam.
Gustavus Giese, a switchman, 10 attempting
to uncoupo baggage car from passenger
coach, slipped and fell. The baggage car
ran over his right leg, breaking the 'n'gh
bone Off entirely, crushing the i'mo' ana
smashing the ankle. The bottom OF his
left foot wa, also torn of in such manner
that the heel wa, completely severed from
the main portion of the foot, and hung
alone BY strips OF the skin of the instep.
The latter was the moro irightiul looking
! wound, though not so dangerous as
the others. He also complained of his back,
though to what extent he was injured there,
we were unable to ascertain at the time. lie
suffered the most excruciating agony. Ills
fellow workmen carried him to the depot
carpenter shop as soon as possible, when
| Drs, Plummer and Bernhard were called
and hurried TO the scene. Chlorotorm wal
at once administered to alleviate the pain
He was then placed upon stretcher which
DR.. Plummer had sent for, his pantsIoon'
were removed, and the extent OF his injure'
learned as above. The injured foot WAS sewel
up and the limbs placed in position, wheI
the sufferer was removed to lhe dwelling o
his father on Orleans street near Elk.
|. is possible that he may eventually re
cover, considering the cool weather we ar
having, but he is in an extremely cr''ica
condition, and the utmost skill will be re
quired to secure his recovery.
| Mr.. Giese is young German, abou
twenty.three Or four years OF age, OF excel
ent habits, and highly esteemed by oil VIII
know him. He was formerly a member G
the choir Of the Catholic church he ha
been working at the yard for about t"
months. No blame is attached to any On'
. the affair being simply an accident
his sad misfortune he will receive the ger
. eral sympathy of all who have known hin
+, LATER AT three o'clock this atternoo
we learn that Mr.. Giese's right leg has bee
amputa,ed below the knee at the junction
the middle and upper thirds. The thigh
n fractured at about tho middle. The oper
d. ton was performed by Dr.. Plummer, in Il
- presence Of number OF our promine
physicians. No doubt exists but that 4
n patient will in due time recover.

Agriculture Report.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. March 49,
The monthly report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for February show
that horses have increased slightly il
most of the Western and Southern
States, and but very little in the Middle
| and Eastern; not enough to keep pace
with the increase in population. The
Atlantic seaboard States, Nebraska
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis.
cOnsin, and the Pacific coast States, OK,
hibit the largest increase. That the
numbers are not equal to the demand is
shown by a general though small ad,
vance in price.
| The increase in mules in the United
States is also slow in comparison
with the rapid aggregation of the popu-
lation, and the range of prices appears
to be higher than last year. The re.
turn of oxen and other cattle point to a
positive decrease in New Jersey, Mary.
land, North Carolina, Florida, Texas
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
the elimination amounting to five pei
cent. in the latter State. In milch cows
reduction is reported in Texas, Ohio
and Illinois, and some of the Southern
States. A general increase i'll the prices
of cattle is reported. A reduction in
the number of sheep appears to be
general, the only exceptions being
Rhode Island, Tennessee, Missouri, Min
nesota, Kansas and the Pacific States;
the loss cannot be much less than 10 per
cent. In some States it is placed at 100
or more. Prices of sheep have declined
slightly in. certain sections and advanc-
ed in others. In districts where merino
stock moHopolises sheep walks the de-
cline Is general and in some sections
heavy returns of swine corroborate
those Of last fall, showing cem-
parative numbers of fat;ening
hogs, and mark very decided reduc-
ton in the numbers, amounting to Il
per cent. in large portion of the Ohio
Valley. Prices are increased in many
States - or 30 per cent, aud not unfre-
quently % or 90 per cent. An inspec-
tiOn of the tables will show a marked
advance, the result not only of a reduc.
tion in numbers, but of speculation
naturally caused by such a state of facts

Financial,

NEW YORK, March 13.-The Evening
Express says the policy of the Treasury
Department in the immediate future il
the subject of much comment in Wall
street. There have been some heavy
short sales of gold aud stocks ON the
theory of early sales In consequence Of
currency balance at this point being re-
duced to S., 100000. There is considera
bic pressure brought to bear upon the
new Secretary to induce him to sell gold
nominally to increase his currency bal
ance, but really to make tight money
market. The Banks are in such con
dition at present that liberal sales Of
gold would undoubtedly cause them II
present their per cent. certificates fol
redemption, thereby producing none
tary disturbance and unsettling legitl
mate business. The Treasury holds al
different points over 100000 OF cur
rency aud the recent reduction In prln'
cipal of sub-treasury is due chiefly tC
large transfers to army paymasters ano
the pension account which may not Oe
discussed for some time to come. Inc
revenue receipts from the income tax
however, will soon be coming IN, WheL
the Treasury will be literally supplied
with currency.
The Bank statement shows q loss o.
Sl27 ,963 in circulation, which IS a little
remarkable. The changes in loans, de,
posts and legal tenders are slight ano
unimportant.

by Telegraph to the Register

HAVANA, March 13.-The Diaro argues
against the confscation of the property
of rebels. The insurgents, under Po-
lish general, have burnt the bridge and
torn up the rails between San Marco and
sagua. The insurgent leaders propose
concentrating their forces and estab-
fishing the seat of government at
Mayor, or some town in the jurisdic-
tion of Santiago. Aid is soon expected
from Yucatan and other places.
& Advices from Neuvitas, to the 9th
inst, have been received. The insur.
gent representatives in the Assembly Of
the central department have decreed
the abolition of slavery. All patriots
are, however, to be Unidentified for the
loss Of their slaves. The freedmen may
become soldiers, and may remain in the
country and cultivate land.
An iron-Clad, with Armstrong guns on
board, for the insurgents, has been
sighted off Green Key, and Spanish
cruisers were Immediately sent in search
of her. The Governor has refused to
permit Cubans or Americans to leave
the country. The troops have commit
ted many outrages on the plantations
in the neighborhood OF Nuevitas.
