ADRA:N.

A few days ago we took Horace Gree
Hey s advice and event west, s as Ear AZ: Is
Adrian, driving across the country.
The place has q sigltlylocation near the
Kanaranzi and is destined to be 4 trad
ing point of considerable Importance.
We found our friends Condo s. Wigham
busy taking in wheat at their ware
house, and the Captain dishing out
goods at his store. They are preparing
to receive and ship large quantity of
wheat. Mr.. Condo is preparing to open
his lumber yard, and he will do large
business when the Hungarian colonists
arrive. We dropped over into Olney
township, that is, just across the street
which is the dividing line between o.
ney and Westside, and found Geo. H.
Carr up to his eyes in..business selling
goods. S. ..~.: !.
At the Adrian hotel, we of course
met T. H. Childs;' the whole-souled
proprietor, and enjoyed q good dinner.
The hotel is good one, built by the
railroad company, with y. ample accom-
modations. ,t'
II. J. Ludlow, Of Wortliington, we
found, was putting in astock of hard
ware and opening abranch store there.
If Bishop Ireland succeeds in locat-
ing his colony in tie neighborhood of
Adrian, there will, I've a lively trade
there during the next year, and as they
propose taking all tile railroad lands,
that portion Of the county will be more
thickly settled than any other.

u
We, the undersigned, being citizens
and voters of Mobiles county, do hereby
present the name of Joseph Chadwick,
of this county, to the public as Il can
didate for the Office of Register of
Deeds. Mr.. Chadwick is one OF the
original settlers of this county, and a
Woodworking farmer by occupation;
but few years since had the misfor-
tune to become crippled for life by an
accident with Harvester, since which
time lie has been entirely unable to per-
form the manual labor necessary for
the operation of q farmer; but is still
able and competent to perform the cler-
ical duties necessary for the Office of
Register of Deeds. And we would
most earnestly recommend him to the
favorable notice of our fellow-citizens
throughout the county when in Con-

We see by the Chicago dailies that
Spencer, president of the State saving
Bank of that city, who ran away with
several hundred thousand dollars be-
longing to depositors, made All assign
ment of the concern to Abner Taylor,
the man to whom Prof. Humiston
claims to have sold that immense tract
of rai]r0ad>land last year. At a meet
ing of the depositors resolution was
adopted recommending that immediate
steps he taken to secure the removal Of
Taylor and that Long John Wentworth
be appointed receiver in his stead. It
was charged against Taylor that he
withheld all knowledge Of the assign
ment with the intention of allowing
Spencer to escape.-Journal.
We have not thought it worth while
to reply to the lies and ISLANDERS of the
Ring organ concerning ourself, but we
have made it q point to defend our best
citizens and the best friends of this
community from it's infamous attacks.
The gentleman who is emdeayoring to
bring an English colony to this county,
of which Messrs. Sugden and Grissell
are the forerunners, is Mr.. F. e. Tay-
lor, of Chicago, and not Abner Taylor,
as the infamous Journal well knows.
Yet because Mr.. Taylor once made a
land trade with Prof. 1Iumiston, the
disreputable Journal keeps on misrep-
resenting and slandering him.

End OF Crooks Campaign.

A telegraph from Fort Fetterman
says: "Crook's command reached here to-
day. The campaign is closed, the hosti'es
being too distant to be reached in this wea-
thcr. The command left Blouche December
22d. There was very severe weather on
Christmas. The mercury froze in the bulb.
The animals suffered for the want of forage,
and anumber of mules were turned loose.
The train was met at Wind River Creek last
night The Sioux and Araphaoes scouts left
Red Cloud the 22d. Colonel Randall with
seventy crows, met the column near Punk
kin Buttes, but as their services were not re-
quired, were sent back. They report the de-
struction of a Cheyenne village by McKen-
zie, creating general stempede. Tarils were
passed leading in various directions, showing
that the Indians were scattering. Crazy
Horse is ON the Little Missouri. General
Crook is satisfied with the results OF the cam
paign, as it has kept the Indians on the move
in the dead of winter. He expresses the
opinion that the hostiles will not stand anoth-
er campaign. The friendly Indians with a
column Of troops will finish the matter.
There is every reason to believe large force
can be raised among the surrounding tribes
when spring opens"

Affairs in Turkey.

There is little prospect Of ayerting
the threatened war between Russia and Tur-
key, according to the most reliable dispatches
A Berlin special says Russia intends, after
the final cupture OF negotiations, to ask the
powers Tor authorizations to enforce the pro-
posals OF the conference in their name. Tur-
keys final refusal is anticipated, and the con-
ference will then have no further business al
Constantinople. Russian papers are greatly
exasperated at what they term pusilanimity
of Germany and Austria. The European plen-
ipotentiaries have agreed, if the Porte con-
tinues obstinate, TO sign protocol stated
that Salisbury and Ignatief have been trying
to induce the Sultan to dismiss Midhat Pasha,
as the chief cause of the Porte's resistance,
and the Sultan refuses to do so. The Paris
Monitaur, which is in close relation with the
French foreign Office, publishes the following
paragraph: We regret to state that the dis
position cf Turkey was not improved in
Thursdays sitting, and leaves very little hope
of an arrangement ty diplomacy, though the
conference meets again on Monday. If the
situation is not modified it may even now be
stated that the task OF England is ended.''

life seemed to be impossible. The
surviving sufferers were carried in
arms to the nearest hotels and private
houses, and some were brought up in
town in sleighs which had been sent
down at the earliest moment. The
physicians and sergeons devoted their
utmost energies to relieve the suffer-
ers, as also did other citizens.
Mr.. Jones, Of Be]ojt, was in the for
ward passenger car just behind the
baggage and express, when he felt
that the car was in the air and he
b'aced himself to meet the fall. There
Was a crash as of the heavens falling,
and several long reports followed.
Every one around him appeared to
be killed or badly wounded. He as
sisted one man 20 his feet and both es-
capped through a window with great
difficulty. The car took fire immedi-
ate)y and the shrieks tor help from
The imprisoned wounded were horrible
to hear. Three minutes before the
fall Of the bridge he had gone back to
the Palatine to secure a berth, which
he succeeded in doing. He then went
back to the passenger coach for his
valise and was about going back to the
sleeper when the catastrophe occurred.
He noticed that all the cars except the
drawing-room one were we'll filled.
There could not have been less than
300 persons on board. Many of the
bodies, he subsequently learned, were
burnt SO that they fell to ashes. The
fire was so hot that it Clipped the
piers from turret to foundation stone.
1t melted brass like lead, and steel
could alone successfully resist it. He
thought that the railroad company
were trying to hide the extent Of the
disaster.
