At five o'clock this morning, as the
night express train, west-bound, on the
Rock Island division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad moved
at ordinary speed across the trestlework
over the Meredesia river, one milesouth
of Albany, Illinois, the trestle gave way
and the train without warning was sud-
denly precipitated into the river. The
train consisted OF an engine, tender,
baggage car and one passenger and
sleeping car, land all went down except
the sleeper, which hangs over the end OF
the bridge at an angle OF 40 degrees, one
end was high in the air. Two cars iioat-
ed off down the river The passenger
coach lodged against the island, lorty
rods away, and the baggage car stuck IN
the middle OF the stream at about the
same distance. Only two cars are now
in sight. Engineer West and fireman
unknown, residing in Freeport, went
down in the cab and nothing has been
seen since OF the locomotive or the men.
The baggage man Sam. Flanagan, Harry
Myers, brakeman; Daniel Ei.ithorp,
messenger, and Fuller, conductor, al.
escaped uninjured, except the latter;
Eleven passengers were in the forward
car, including a man and boy residing
in Pine River, Wis, en- route 10 Omaha;
a woman and two childred VINO

passed the abutment of wagon bridge,
which went out yesterday, Another
man leaped, but iell back and drowned.
A woman and child and a boy from Pine
River were taken off the roof OF the car
after it lodged at the island, and the
other SIX passengers, including the men
from Pine River, a little child and DR..
Limsy, were drowned. These, together
with the engineer and fireman, make
eight lives los. IN all There were only
three passengers in the sleeper, and they,

Of cholera which have come under his

matter:
"The three cases spoke OF in my let.

my attention very recently. do not
care to give the names OF the persons
thus afflicted or the places where they

is very unusual, however, to find cases
OF this nature at this time OF the year.
These three cases are the only ones that
have had to treat, but | have heard
this winter Of many other cases ol

BODY wants to be trotted as an alarInist,
of course, but it looks to me as II we
should have trouble when the hot
weather comes.

The Whole Thing to be Investigated
Conkling and the Democrats.
WASHINGTON, April 2l.-The action OF
the President in removing Brady has
revived the matter of the star route SER
vice and former changes in that connec'
ton. Not only has Brady been re-
moved, but the President has ordered
the star route matter to be thoroughly
Investigated with the view OF ascertain
ing all who had any connection with u.
Postmaster General James Is conduct
ing the investigation, and it is given out
that he has discovered enough to war
rant the removal of several officials in
the department. 1t is stated that some
of the accused parties will be indicted.
In a short time Mr.. James will
publish the result OF the investigation
bat at pre- sent the Department only says
that hundreds of thousaT Dis OF dollars
were unnecessarily expended i'll expe-
diting routes, and that when ali useless
expenditures are cut down, The Postof-
flee Department will be nearly selt'sus
tanning.
Mr.. Grier, of Pennsylvania, wanted
the Second Assistant Postmaster Gensr-
| ship, ana u ulSSdLslleu Win tue Ahiuj
but does not say that he will refuse the
latter.
General Brady is one of the chief
owners Of the National Republican here,
which an,agonizes the administration Oh
Robertson's nominations. How his re-
movsl will affect the policy OF the paper
is not v known.
The statements made about bargain
or coalition between CJnkling and the
Democratic Senators for the rejection OF
Robertson are unfounded. There has
been neither bargain nor coalition,
though a number Of the Democratic
Senators express determination TO vote
with Conkling. This grows out OF the
belief that the administration is un'
friendly to the South and not from any
understanding with Conkling. The
friends OF Senator Conkling say he could
not make such coalition If he desired
and would not ii he could because he is
too true Republican. Tae Democrats
| who are willing TO vote with Conkllne
put it entirely on the ground they be-
iieve il be the beet for the Democratic
party.

On the lookout for Him.

Nkw York, April 2l.-The Times says
Secretary Blaine has sent . letter to
Mayor Grace, saying that the Depart
.nent OF State had information of the
expected arrival here shortly OF Baron
Puttkammer, recently released from
prison ut Brazil after five or six years
confinement on conviction OF attempted
robbery and murder. He was to have
been shipped from Rio de Janeiro March
18th as member OF the crew OF the
British steamship Grecian, bound
to New York and London, and
the belief is that the Baron would prob.
ably conclude to remain here ii the op.
portunity afforded. The Secretary thinks
it proper that he be kept track OF by
the police. The Grcclsn has been out
81 days.

The Corn Crop.

ST. LOUIS, April 2l.-The Post Dispatch
publishes very full reports to-day from
illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska relative to the last corn crop
raised in those States. These reports
generally show that the crop fell short
of 1879, not so much through decrease
m the acreage as through smaller
Weld. This was more particularly tHe
case in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas
the other States, Iowa and Nebraska,
producing large and full crops. Inc
Quality compared well with the proceed
ing wear, bat large amount was dam
aged, especially in Iowa by heavy snow
that fell and covered the grain in the
cribs as we'll as in the fields; The
amount cribbed at country shipping
points was large in Iowa, but generally,
small elsewhere. The farmers ana
stockmen fed more than usual to their
stock, owing to the severity OF the win.
ttr. The prices paid at the country
shipping points ruled generally higher
than the preceding year.

CHICAGO, April 2l.-The flood in the
city and through the northwest con-
tinues on the increase. Only four cars
OF stock arrived at the yard this morn
ing, all receipts OF to-day having arrived
last evening. The roads are compelled
to use each others track indiscrlminately
and patch lines OF communication as
best they may, for hardly a road that
comes in to the city from the west, north
or south has a track free from water.
During the night the water
IRON the nver and on the low
lying praries rose five inches,
and contrary to expectation, and
precedent is still increasing in volume
and height. The Ashland Avenue
bridge and abutments have caved in,
and the foundation OF the abutments oi
the bridge across the canal at Ashland
Avenue have been washed out and
the abutments have begun to topple.
The water is within an inch of the top
OF the Fuliea street bridge, and is within
a few inches OF the bed OF the Chicago
and Alton railroad bridge. The John

HORRIBLE DEATH.
The Condition in Which the Boys Found
Their Father.

WAsHISGToN, Pa, April 2l.-A horri-
BILE death which took place in Peters
Township day or two since has just
come to light. Valentine Froby, q
farmer, went to Pittsburg with a load Of
hay, and, being away longer than was
expected, his two sons started to hunt
him. He was found few miles this
side of Pittsburg on his way home.
As he was considerably under
the influence of liquor, the
boys wanted him TO ride home in
the cars and they would bring the team
back. He refused their suggestions and
they left him, supposing he would
get back all right. AS he did not come
the boys started after him again, and
this time they found the wagon only
forty rods from the house, against a
stump, the dead body OF their father
hanging by the legs from the double
tree, his head resting on the ground. He
had been dragged in this position forty
nine rods, his head being badly man
gled, one ear being torn off and left
ciinging to snag. Deceased was fifty
one years of age, and leaves wife and
several children.

THROWING OUT THE MoURNERs
A Somewhat Unusual Scene in an Alex

A Somewhat Unusual Scene in an Alex
andria Negro Church.
WASHINGTON, April 2l.-About IL
o'clock last Tuesday night as Police VI
ficers Franks and Crump were going
their rounds in the upper part oil Alex
andria, they heard loud cries In the
direction OF the Shiloh Colored Baptist
Church, on Payne street, between
Prince and Duke. Fastening In that
direction, they were horror struck at
what they thought were several orutai
murders, the bodies OF the victims being
thrown out OF the church windows and
doors, and large crowd OF colored men
and women shouting and crying inside
and out of the church. Upon closer IN
spection thev found that the oouies
thrown out of the church were mourn
ers. who had become happy, and alter
shouting aud dancing for an hour or
two had become exhausted and ial.en 10
the floor, and had then been thrown oat
to make room for new converts. Inc
officers told the parties making the
racket that they must stop 1t, but they
said that the Spirit had come in Shl!oh,
and they were gwine to celebrate the oc.
casion. The officers seized several oil
the most noisy in the crowd, when the
Spirit seemed to leave, aud they cooled
down. After gathering up the new con-
yerts living around, the others marched
of with them, and quiet was restored
until the Spirit makes another VISIT g.

can do it now; but il there is a too Ire
ouent repetition OF the scenes oil yester-
day in the Senate, when he moves with
the force OF Executive influence" he
NAV find he lacks united Democratic
support. In such event he would not
only be humiliated but be completely nj
the mercy Of his enemies in the party.
There Is no use in mipcing matters. The
President Just now is in a shaky posi-
ton, One heoric move on bis part,
and he can save himself; put
additional delay and only little
more, a very little more yitupera'lon,
and he will drive away from him scores
OF Democratic Senators who are now
anxious to support him. 1t is Just this
Mr. ConkliDg is waiting for, and he may
not have to wait long.
Another element which in an indirect
yay is aiding Conkling is the temper
and tone of the Senate debates. Ever
since the Republicans inaugurated the
struggle which is now pending the ten
dency of the Republican Sir Oracies has
been to revive the sectional issue ana
revamp the old cry of fraud and murder
on the South.
