CASUALTIES.

DETROIT. Mich, December 2l.-Iesterday,
Mrs. John Evans, Of Sheridan, Moncalm
county, locked her house and went to
ncighbors, leaving two children eight
months and three years old in the house:
Shortly after the house was discovered all
atIame. and all attempts to rescue the chill
dren were unavailing the flames driving
the father back, in spite of his utmost en-
deayors. The house and all contents were
consumed. From the suddcnness OF the
fire. it is believed the children must have
got at the kerosene oil can.
CHICAGO, December 2l.-As the pay-ca OF
the Northwestern Railroad was nearing the
bridge across the north branch Of Chicago
River. near Fullerton avenue, in the ex-
treme northwestern part OF the city, about
noon to-day, the bridge swung open sud
denly. and before the engine could be
stopped in it plunged, with its tender; to
the filthy water, the pay-car barely escap-
ing by striking the bridge, which had be-
gun to swing back. The bridge was badly
wrecked.
J. NJ. Leayitt, the fireman on. the engine
Jumped and swan out. Engineer. n. j.
Wilcox, was pulled out with his left leg
cut off below the knee. The conductor was
crushed to death between the engine ana

SHERMAN'S BUREAU.
How Ii Was Run at the Expense OF the
Treasury.
4Ssocidted Press.

Sturtcvant, who has charge of the station
ary division of the Treasury, was before
the contingent fund investigating commit
tee to-day. 1t is understood that he was
examined in regard to the allegation that
the Sherman literary bureau, maintained
here last summer and fall, to advance Sec
retaly Sherman's candidacy for the Presi-
dency, was furnished with all the station
cry il used from the Treasury, and that
charges were made upon the contingent
fund to cover this stationery. The story
as il leaked ont. was that the contingent
fund, at one lime, furnished $500 to pay
for stationery for Sherman's bureau, and
that the amount was never refunded. Pit
ney has claimed. all along, that representa-
tionS made to him were, that Secretary
sherman was authority for these charges
upon the contingent fund for stationery,
and that he believed he was Obeyng the
orders of his superior.
Senator Sherman has said that ii the sta
tionery was taken from the Treasury for
the literary bureau, it was without his
knowledge and consent. The testimony
taken by the committee investigating the
subject shows that the stationery was sup
piled to the bureau from the Treasury, and
that the contingent fund was charged up
with articles to cover it. Just who was
responsible for this, perhaps. has not yet
been developed.

Elsewhere We give the names of the
Chairmen of the various committees as
finally announced. They will not strike
the ordinary observer as belonging to
men of overwhelming talent, but it must
be considered that not only was the
Speaker limited to his party friends, but
in addition to this, he was compelled by
fealty TO his masters to so arrange mat
ters rs to carry out their wishes. The re-
suit is, that he has not been able to
take advantage of the material at COM
mand, and it will be conceded, by all
unpredjudiced observers, that those up
on whom the leadershipis thrust by rea-
son of the position assigned them, are
not fitted by ability, character or stand
ing, to carry through successfully in the
face of a powerful, solid, well-led
minority, any measure the latter may
desire to defeat. Randall, Carlisle, Cox
and Morrison will have no opponents
who can meet them on equal terms.
