The Bankrupt Law.

The principal points of the new Bank
rupt law passed by Congress are as fol
lows:
Forty days are allowed to elapsc be
fore a merchant or trader who fails to
pay his commercial paper is liable to be
thrown into bankruptcy. The assent of
one-fourth in number and one-third in
value of the creditors is required to
throw a debtor into bankruptcy. This
provision relates back to the first of last
December. Proceedings may be discon-
tinued whenever the debtor pays those
secured debts which were the ground Of
throwing him into bankruptcy, or when
ever the consent of the court can be OBJ
tanned and q majority of the creditors
shall ask for Il discontinuance OF the
proceedings In order to set aside by
pothecated pledges or loans on the bank
rupts estate, it must appear that the
party dealing with the bankrupt knew
that he intended to perpetrate fraud on
the Bankrupt law, and that he intended
to 60 into bankruptcy. When loan is
made to a bankrupt in good faith, and
security taken, with the intention OF aid
ing him to pun through, it shall be
considered as having actual value,
and the security shall not be in
validated 10y proceedings in bank
ruptcy. A voluntary bankrupt may
have his discharge if his estate pays 30
per cent. of his debts, or provided he OBJ
tains the consent OF the same number Of
his creditors as is necessary to throw
him into bankruptcy. An involuntary
bankrupt can get his discharge if his
conduct is free from all fraud and he IS
innocent of any violation or infringement
OF the Bankrupt act Assignees are pro.
hibited from dividing fees with other per
sons engaged in the case Compromise
by creditors may be made with the assent
Of the debtor, providing a majority Of the
creditors Join, when approved by the
court, for the release and discharge OF
the debtor. The fees and expenses are
reduced one-half until the Judges Of the

SINCE the breaking of the Williams
burg dam no fish have been seen in Mill
River, although it was formerly well
stocked with them. After the disaster
many suckers, cells and small fry were
scattered along the meadows, and such as
escaped death thus on dry land were prob
ably killed by the filth and poisonous
qualities of the Shiny deposits which have
been so many years accommodating in the
numerous mill-dams.

Town Blown Away.

Tampico, Ills, June IA terrible tor
nado passed over this village last night,
making a complete wreck of it. Wonderful
to say, no lives were lost though a number
Of persons were injured-several seriously.
Twenty-one dwellings were destroyed, and
every house in the town was more or less
damaged. The elevator of Glass, Horn &
Bryant, containing 1000 bushels of grain,
and that of Black, containing 5000 bushels,
were totally demolished. The depot of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
was badly damaged. The most serious
casualties are Mrs. J. G. Gates, leg broken
in two places, Maria Banes, jaw broken
and dangerously injured in the head, re-
covery doubtless; another Mrs Gates, Sc
riously bruised; Mrs. Pearsoll, badly in
iured Mrs. Gale, shoulder broken; Gran
vile Conner, badly hurt about the head (;
J. G. Gates, bruised seriously A number
Of others were injured, none seriously.
Cannot estimate the amount of damage
yet. The people are hunting up and gath
ering together what little the storm has
left them. The tornado struck us at 1i:10,
and was accompanied by rain and severe
thunder and lightning. The storm came
from the West and lasted but few min
utes. AS soon as information of the ca
lamity reached the officers Of the Chicago
Burlington and Quincy Railroad, they vol
unteered special train, which has just ar
rived, bringing DIS. Edwards and Cook
from Mendoza to our assistance.

Singular Robbery.

Charles Anderson, q retired Swedish sea
captain, lately married lady Of New York.
Being possessed of uncut diamonds of con-
siderable value, he decided to dispose of
some of them, and make bridal tour to
Europe. He left his apartments at
Sweeney's hotel on Monday, June l, to 60
to diamond brokers' on Broadway.
While in the brokers' building, he was ac-
costed by confidence man, who soon learn
ed his business The confidence man pre-
tended to be q clerk Of the diamond broker,
and said the latter was out, but if Ander-
son would call in a few hours he would
find him. Anderson, on repeating his visit
was again met by the same person, who
had an elegantly dressed lady with him.
He invited Anderson to accompany him to
see the lady home, then they would go the
the brokers' Office together In Broad
way the lady handed Anderson lozenge
and gave another to her companion and
took one herself Anderson unsuspectingly
ate it and grew dizzy and semi-unconscious.
The woman held her handkerchief to his
nose, and he sank insensible. When next
conscious he was alone in dark room,
when he was bound and gagged, chloro-
formed, and put in a coach, again uncon-
scious. When next conscious he was in
Spruce street; his diamonds, watch, and
diamond studs were gone. The whole
amount of property taken was worth
$4,000. Private detectives are working
up the case.
Captain Charles Anderson, the victim of
the diamond robbery, says he has been
rendered almost penniless by the loss he
has maintained ed. The robbery was COM
mitted in Houston street. near Broadway.
No clue has yet been found to the robbers.

A Remarkable Escape.

An escape fiom death as wonderful as
any ever related by the pen of fiction was
made by an individual ON the Detroit and
Milwaukee Road few nights ago, as chron-
icled by the Free Press of the former city.
1t seems that an unknown man was per-
mitted to ride on top of freight train on
his representation that he had no money to
pay his way to Grand Rapids, and was
willing to do anything he was called on to
do in compensation. The brakeman for
got to tell him of the several low bridges
on the route and about midnight when
the engineer, having discovered cattle on
the road, whistled "down brakes" the
stranger was the first up from the caboose.
In running forward over the cars, he sud
denly observed the dark form of bridge
close above. There was scarcely time to
think, and as by instinct, he sprang of
when within foot of the oyer-hanging
structure, and striking a sloping embauk-
ment, fell down and rolled to the track,
where one of the wheels caught his boot
heel, crushing it Off close TO the sole, and
whirled him around so that the next wheel
sheared off the rim of his hat. When the
train was stopped he climbed into his. ca.
boose entirely uninjured in person, but
with some such feeling as he may have
who has arisen from the lightning stroke
which has tumbled the house about his
ears, but left himself uninjured.

A Remarkable Will.

Marin 0. Walker, one of the oldest and
wealthest citizens of Chicago, died last
week. His will is q most extraordinary
document. 1t places all his property in
the hands of four trustees directs that
they shall pay each of his two sons an
nuities which shall not be less than $500
nor more than $4,000, but within these
limits gives absolute discretion to the trus-
tees provides that the estate shall be di-
vided among the grandchildren of the
testator upon the death of his sons, and,
failing issue from the sons, that it shall be
kept intact for twenty-one years, and then
be used for benevolent purposes, according
as the trustees may direct. The trustees
have almost absolute power over the prop
erty. They may sell, exchange, or convert
it during the lifetime Of the sons, and in
case of their decease without issue will
still hold it in possession for twenty one
years. In all the records of the English
chancery courts there can be found few
more eccentric wills than the one which we
have epitomized. Its provisions have as
tonished all of the persons Immediately
concerned and its publication will doubt
less furnish food for the gossips for some
time to come.

A Terrible Situation.

A few days ago laboring man started
to walk from Port Huron to Detroit. He
laid by during the heat of the day, and
was walking in the evening to make it up.
While crossing the track where switch
leads down along the main track he got
his foot caught in "frog," and his efforts
to extricate it were of no avail. He had
on stout boot and it fitted so closely
over the instep that he could not draw his
foot out. In fact, the boot was wedged in
the "frog" so closely that the mans toes
were severely pinched He pulled this way
and that, wrenched and twisted, but the
"frog" held the foot like wise.
At length he could hardly move his leg
for the pain, and he found that he must
either be run over by the next train or
make some one understand his situation.-
He shouted himself hoarse, but no one
came. The nearest house was half mile
away, and if the farmer heard the wild
calls he gave them no attention. After the
man had been prisoner for upward of an
hour he heard the whistle of down freight
train. 1t was yet a long way of; and he
had little time to think. He had match
box in his pocket, papers in his bundle,
and the idea came to him to signal the
train. Tearing the paper off his bundle
and getting at number of letters, he roll
ed them into heap, and for fear the flame
would die out too suddenly, he added two
flannel shirts from the bundle. The bun
die was then made fast to the end of his
walking stick, matches produced, and he
waited until the headlight of the locomo-
tive should appear up the track.
1t finally greeted his vision, looking like
bright white star, as it glistened far up
the track. The rumble of the train grew
louder, the star grew larger and brighter.
He struck his match, the fame blazed up
brightly, but as he moved it toward the
bundle a little gust of wind blew it out
Was there time yet? Up the track he
could hear the thunder of hundred heavy
wheels, and the great light of the locomo-
tive glared at him like the fiery eye of some
wild beast. Another match, an instant of
uOuDIj anu JhGu paper
up and curled over and around the bundle
and swayed right and left with the night
wind. He waved the signal of fire back
and forth, and just when he was ready to
believe that death under the wheels was
certain heard the whistle for brakes.
He could hear the wheels grinding and
groaning, the hiss of steam as the engineer
threw back his lever, and then the heavy
train came to stop with the great light
shining down upon him, paling his dying
signal. He was saved, but the engine had
only thirty feet more to 60 to crush him.
The fireman came forward, got crowbar
and released him, and he was taken back
to the caboose. The train men were kind
to him, and he found acquaintances who
arranged for his board until he will be able
to work. His foot is badly swelled and
very tender, and it will be several days be-
fore he will be able to walk.
