TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN THE
HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL.

New YORK, July 21.-At 5 o'clock
this morning the caisson leading to the
entrance of the Hudson river tunnel, con-
structing at Sixteenth street, Jersey City,
caved in, carrying with it an immense
quantity of earth. Twenty-one men were
buried. Seven were soon after taken out
bruised, but not seriously, and the res
cuers were laboring hard to reach the re-
naming fourteen. Meanwhile water
from the river flowed rapidly, and steam
fire-engines were set to work to save those
who might still be alive from drowning.
The workmen resided in the vicinity of
the tunnel and very large and excited
crowd of persons soon congregated.

main arch of the tunnel runs out from
the shaft a distance of about thirty feet,
when it opens into two distinct arches
that are to form the tunnel Through
some negligence of the men, it is sup

commenced, the brick wall connecting
the two arches gave way and water rush

GENERAL GRANT ON FOREIGN
LANDS.

During his conversation with the gen
tlemen present the General spoke of his
visit to Japan he said he had no
trouble whatever with the people, as
everywhere he found native japanese
who speak the English language fuently,
the government having introduced the
language into the public schools. He
says that in the interior districts of the
country in almost every school district
young people may be found who have
never been away from home, and yet
speak English in a manner that would be
no discredit to Lindley Murray.
He says the school system in Japan is
very prosperous, and that the higher
branches ofscience are taught in a much
more simplifed form than in this coun-
try
He related some of the incidents of
his dinner with the king Of Siam, whom
he describes as young man of about
twenty-five years of age, and who speaks
English fuentlN He said the dinner
surprised him, for he found nearly every
dish much the same as those prepared
for him in Paris. On inquiry he ascer-
tanned that the king employs French
cook constantly, and is endeavoring, it
seems, to be up with the latest modes of
cooking.
In Siam, as in other places, he found
the English language the principal for
eign language taught in the schools. He
thought, he said, that when he started,
he should need a supply Of French, but
found by experience that good English is
the better language for trip around the
world. He thinks English is sure to be
the common language for all nations,
and that the more progressive countries,
seeing this are teaching it in their
schools s-LeaUenworth Times

HANCOCK AND THE SOLDIERS.
most diligent research fails to discover
the whereabouts of the soldier votes,
heretofore republican, which are to be
cast for Hancock. None of the members
of the Republican State Central Commit
tee, though specially interrogated on this
point had heard Of any, and the extreme
ly hopeful spirits in which the campaign
opens throughout the state argues but
little disturbance on that score to the
party majorities. In fact, the pretense
that Hancock will make the slightest
impression On any portion of the popular
vote that is naturally republican is alb
solutely nonsense, and there is certainly
no evidence that either his name or the
cause he represents has any power to at
tract in the slightest degree the doubtful
vote which oscillates between the two
parties.-Neao York Times.

THE CAMPAIGN.-DENvER, July 21.-
Hon. r. w. Thompson, Secretary of the
Navy, delivered a speech here last night.
He read letter of General Hancock
written to Hon. S. t. Glover, of ST..
Louis July II, 1868, indorsing the plat
form and candidates of the democratic
party Of that year, which declared all
the constitutional amendments, the en-
reimbursement of the negroes, and the
entire work Of reconstruction null and
void. The letter also indorsed Frank
Blair's letter to Broadhead advocating
the sending of the army south to undo
the work of reconstruction. Mr. Thomp-
son said Hancock was sent south bv
Andy johnson to nullify the acts of con-
gress, and his order No. 40 was intended
to put the rebels on top and the loyal
men at the bottom. Grant refused to
permit that order to be executed and
Hancock left New Orleans in a "miff.''
Since the war those are the only promi-
nent points in Hancock's history. He
paid high compliment to Hancock as a
soldier, but declared that he is no states
man.

ELOPED At SIXTEEN.
New York Sun:


Louise Kemph, comely young German
girl sixteen years old, and tall for her age,
with light brown hair and blue eyes, quit
ted her fathers house at 100 Orchard
street at e.ght clock on Sunday morning,
saying she was going to church. About
the same time Frank J. Horiger, a boy of
sixteen, whose parents live over the way in
the top story of 1913, went out saying he was
going to church. Neither of the young peo-
pie returned to their home after church,
and it was learned they had not been
there. After looking anxiously all day
for them the parents became greatly
alarmed. The families were not acquaint-
ed, but it was known to the members of
both that Frank and Louise had been
friends at school in Second Street. After
the families had compared notes, the con-
clusion was reached that the boy and
girl had eloped. It was found that the
girl, while she had taken only only the
clothing she wore, which consisted of a
navy blue suit, dark hat and ring set
with amethyst, had appropriated two $40
gold pieces which belonged to her sister
The boy had 35 cents and the clothes he
wore-a dark suit, Derby hat and eye
glasses. Nothing that either had said
previous to their departure gave any clue
to their destination, except that the girl
had limited to a friend that she might
live in Hoboken after time. She had
been observed by her mother and sisters
to be somewhat downhearted for several
days before she disappeared. Mr.. Kemph
is tailor. He and his wife were very
much cast down by their child's flight.
Young Horiger's father is photographer
employed in large downtown establish
memt, and the boy also worked there.
The acquaintance of the young couple
had existed four months. Horiger had
never been at Louise's home and her
family only knew him by seeing him in
the street.

KILLED The PEAcEMAKER. BRAD
FORD, Pa, July 21.-A special from
Ridgeway, Elk county, Pa, says that a
coroner's jury are now investigating the
death Of John Johnson, a Swede, who
was found dead in front of Hans saloon,
Centeryille, that county, Thursday even
ing last. The testimony shows that
Johnson attempted to pacify couple OF
Germans who were fighting, and both
turned upon him. An hour or two after
he was found dead. One physician testi-
fed that Johnson had broken his neck
in fall. Other physicians were called
and they found Johnson had been stabbed
under the left cheek by long instrument
which severed the jugular vein from
which he bled to death internally. The
inquisition is still under way, but there is
no doubt but johnson was murdered.

MERCHANT MURDERED AND
ROBBED IN DAKOTA.

From the Davenport Qowa) Democrat, July 81.
News has been received in this city
of murder which occurred in Dakota,
few days since, which bereaves young
wife and takes an enterprising business
man from one of the most busy country
places in Iowa.
On Wednesday, the 9Th inst, there
arrived at the Kimball House, Mr.. J. J.
Ottoe, of Granville, Wayne county,
Iowa. He was the proprietor of hard
ware store, and agent for agricultural
implement and machine manufacturers,
and had good acquaintance among the
business of Davenport and Moline
While here he selected between 5000 and
500 worth of goods at the hardware
house OF l.. G. Dessaint & Sons, and de
sired to pay cash down for them. He
had farmers notes with him to the ex-
tent of $4,000, which he had received on
delivery of Chicago firms plows to
parties in his region, and which he did
up, in a, a,package here, and forwarded to
Furst Il Bradley by mail. While in
Davenport he received an offer for farm
in Dakota, and informed Dessaint & Sons
that he should go to that territory, dis
pose of his farm, and would return as
soon as possible, pay for the goods and
have them shipped to Granville 1t
ought to be said that he had considerable
money with him here, and showed rolls
of greenbacks on several occasions in a
rather inJudicious manner.
MIR. Ottoe left Davenport Friday even
ing, the 9th instant En- route to Da-
kota he wrote Dessaint & Sons concern
ing the holding of his goods until his re-
turn. He arrived at Yellow Bank,
Grant county, ID. T., on Friday, the 18th,
where he sold his farm, making a hand
some thing by the sale of it. Last even
ing Dessaint & Sons received word that
Mr.. Ottoe had been murdered and
robbed, near Yellow Bank. He proba-
bly, did there as he did here, acted care
lcssly in handling his money-to pay a
trifling bill he would unroll large pack
age of greenbacks, select a note and
hand it over. Thus his cash attracted
the attention of numbering thief who
struck him down IN the night and plum
dered his body
Mr.. Ottoe was married to a lovely
| young lady only few months since.
He was only 33 years old, apd one of the
most promising business men in this section
Of the state. He visited Davenport and
Moline two or three times year on busi-
ness, and was highly esteemed by the
business men who knew him. The MUIR
derer has not been arrested,

July 21.-At the annual meeting of the

Nicaragua or some other route, showing
it would make difference of $7,OOO,O 900

raisers on surplus of 100000 tons. He
also stated that the recent address of the
Exchange to the farmers on the subject Of

Last Thursday evening, while Mr.. Roun-

to her room with a sick headache. A
light was dimly burning, and Mrs. Roun-

stairs. By this time the lady became
aware that it was not her husband and
gave chase. In the dining-room he stop

CATHOLICS IN POLITICS.
From the Buffalo Catholic Union.

from the Buffalo Catholic Union.
We have no hesitation whatever in de.
claring that, in our judgment, it would
be unfortunate were Catholics, as such, to
be allied to one political party. We are
aware, indeed, that many Catholics-par
ticularly i.:sh Catholics-are to be found
in the Democratic ranks, and we are
aware also what their reward has been.
An occasional bone, with very slender
pickings, is thrown as a necessary sop to
some beautiful Representatives, "()-who
can control votes, you know But for the
most part, they have had more kicks than
coppers for their political portion; and
considering the services rendered, the
Democrats are by no means as generous
or just to the Catholics in their ranks as
are their Republican rivals. We have
not forgotten that when Francis Herman
"a gentleman of pure and lofty character
was a candidate for the Governorship of
New York he was secretly stabbed by co.
600 democrats because he was Catholic.
And we know, also, that the same ele-
ment would have slaughtered him again,
when put in nomination for the United
StateC Senate, were it not for Mr.. Purcell,
of The Rochester Union, who insisted on
an open vote. Nor would it be difficult
to multiply cases of like nature of gross
Democratic ingratitude to Catholics, and
hence The Union, while, as an unpart-
isan journal, it does not champion any
political party, would not regret to find a
large proportion of Catholic voters in the
Republican ranks
