THE MEANING OF ''KRIss KRINGLE.'

THE MEANING OF "KRIss KRINGLE.''
Kriss Kringle, or kriss kingle, or Christ
Kindel is from the German Kristkin-
dlein, or Christ-child.' Wherever
the German or the Dutch have prevailed
in this country the term is well known.
1t stands for our Savior in His infancy,
and also for st. Nicholas. 1t generally
means the latter, who, under the influ-
ence of the former, is presumed to issue
his reward to good children on the vigil
of his festival, "Christ-Kingle Eve dis
guised in fur cap and strange apparel,
with u capacious bag before HIM from
which TO distribute his gifts. Under the
name of Pelznichel, in Germany, he is
the terror of the young, at this season, as
he is presumed TO have heard all about
them from the omniscent Christ-child.
He is the Mumbo-Jumbo of Teutonic na-
tions. BY the little children he is often
propiciated as follows:
''Christkindchen kom!
Mach mich iromm,
DOs ich IN dir in Himmcl kOmm
Christ-child, come! Make me davout
that 1 may come to Thee in Heaven"
On Christmas Eve the young folks hang
up their stocking in their chambers in
expectation of being held in remembrance
by the same mysterious stranger.

THAT HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Eight Perssns Killed und a Number
Iniured-Meaxre Details

Antonito, COL, April Pa special
passenger train left Antonito for Cha
ma, yesterday. at IL a. M, and when
near Ozier, N. NJ, 3S miles from Anto-
nito, the passenger coach jumped the
track and rolled down an embankment
one hundred and fifty feet, killing
seven males and one female. and injur-
ing all the other passengers. Following
are the killed: Mrs. G. Declododt, resi-
dence unknown; James Lynch, James
town, Kansas; d. G. Brewer, Spring
field, Mo-; G. Hall, Indiapola, Iowa;
L. Isaacs, Terra Amorilla, N. M; d.
@. Wilson, Leavenworth, Kansas; d.
G. Shoals. Lawrence. Kansas; and one
unknown. The remains are now await
ing directions from friends. The
wounded will be taken to Denver. The
passenger coach was smashed to pieces.
The cause of the accident is supposed
to be softening of the ground by the
lata heavy rains. The wounded are:
George Inman, of Malone, Kansas, a
broken leg; George r. Page, Pleasan-
ton, Kansas, broken rib; d. r. Brewer,
Marshfield. Mo-, bruised; A. J. Brewer,

The st. LouIs strikers.

st. Louis, April 23.-The street rail-
way strike of conductors and drivers
this morning greatly crippled travel.
One line gave in to the strikers, but
the others, owned mainly by ex-con-
gresham Erastus Wells, held out. A
car on the Market street line having an
old conductor and new driver was
mobbed at the corner of Sixth and
Chestnut streets by an outside gang and
the conductor was seriously hurt on the
head. Aside from this there was no
disturbance.
The Fifth street road, the longest in
the city, has but six cars running.
|. The Washington avenue and Blue
lines have but ten cars between them.
1t looks now as if it will be impossible
to get men to replace the strikers, as
the public cheer the men as they march
through the streets.

Washington, April 2s.-The paper
calling for an executive session of the
senate next week. has received num-
ber Of additional signatures to-day, and
everything points to session for the
confirmation Of nominations early next

will be considered will be those over
which there is no contest. The admin
istration says 1t H. -impeFatiyely neces-
sary to confirm certain officers, and
then the fight against the democrats
can be resumed.

wAsHIxerox NOTES.

Washington, April 23.-Grier de-
clines the Office of the third assistant
postmaster generalship.
1t is very positively announced 10
night that ex-Congressman Monroe, Of
Ohio, will be appointed Minister 70
Brazil.
Senator Edmunds intends to leave
Washington in day or two, not to re-
turn until next winter, and one puf-
pose of the meeting of the Judiciary
committee to-day was to consider the
nomination of Stanley Matthews. The
friends of Matthews have been urging
the committee to act ON his nomination
even though the action should be an
adverse report. They believe the sem
ate would confirm him even against an
adverse report, and Matthews and
his supporters are very anxious for the
committee to adopt its report SO that
the nomination can be acted upon at
the first executive session. The COM
mittee had just quorum to-day, ana
waited two hours for that. Conklink
or Logan did not appear, nor did they
send any reason. Bayard wrote note
saying he could not attend, and stating
how he stood on Matthew'S nominar
tion. Owing to the absence Of so many
members the committee took no action
in the case. Matthews friends still hope
that action from the committee will be
had yet in time to get the case before
the executive session. A
Many members of congress who were
conspicuous in support of the deficiency
bill which Brady asked congress for to
maintain the Star service, are herd
Brady asked for two million dollar1
more than was appropriated. and the
congressman who urged the deficiency
say they did so because the Star SER
vice had to be maintained. That they
recognized the fact; that Brady had
been extravagant, but that they were
not willing that the people Of the coun-
try should suffer by depriying them Of
their mails, because of Bradys fault.
1t is said that Brady has preserved all
the recommendations and requests Of
the members cf congress for increased
service, and will exhibit them in his de-
Tense.
The members of congress generally
admit that they have asked for and
urged an increase in the mail service ID
their respective states, but they expect-
ed it to be done legitimately, and most
of the members here say that they asked
only such increases as the growth Of
the population and business demanded.
The rumors of congressman having
been connected with the alleged irregus
larities appear to be without foundai
tion, yet, high authority in the postof-.
fee department states that nothing yet
developer 1ncurpatss any member Of
congress.

Berlin: The National zeit,u,g states
that Bismarck's attitude on the none
tary question decidedly favors the main
tenance Of the gold standard.
Berlin: The federal council adopted a
motion that, as the population had in.
creased nearly 100000, the coinage of
silver be increased 15, 900, 900 marks.
Constantinople: Demich Pasha, a
Turkish commander, while continuing
to advance towards Prizend had a Sec
ond successful engagement with the
Albanians.
Lemburg: A ferry boat while cross
ing the Dneister river upset, and ac-
cording to one version, 63 persons were
drowned. Another account says 80
were drowned.
st. Petersburg: A correspondent
vouches for the authenticity of the fol-
lowing: A printing press was discov-
cred in st. Petersburg on the 10th
inst, and from 10 to % persons were
arrested at the same time. A few days
ago press, believed to belong to a
nihilist newspaper, the VII Of the
People, was discovered, and dozen
persons were arrested. On the day of
the execution of the nihilists for con-
nection with the cars assassination,
three persons engaged in printing no.
tices roferring to the execution were
arrested. The proprietor of house
containing press and a laboratory was
also arrested.

Constantinople, April 23.-Four per-
sons, formerly domestic servants in the
imperial palace, have been arrested,
charged with the assassination of the
late sultan, Abdul Aziz. They have
confessed that they suffocated him, af-
ter which they opened the veins in his
arms to make it appear that he COM
mitted suicide. Two ex-police officers
and an ex-war minister, are also stated
to have been implicated.

Guymphore, the Hungarian, who has

days and who awakened for the first

picked up, it was found that two of his
ribs were broken and spine injured so
badly that he cannot live.

London, April 23.-The Carlton club
is deeply perturbed respecting the tory
leadership. The party desires to avoid a
conflict between Lord Salisbury, who
is high church, and Lord Cairns, who
is low church. The bulk of the tories
prefer Lord Cairns, but the aristocratic
portion desire Lord Salisbury. The
subject will probably be settled at a
meeting next week. 1t is doubtful
whether Salisbury will forego the pres
ent opportunity. A third proposal is
to choose temporarily the duke of Rich
mond, or even Sir Stafford, of North
cote. 1t is desirable, in the public in
terest, that the tories should adopt
some definite action on the land bill.
Lord Beaconsfield's death is of serious
moment in connection with that meas
ure, as he would have accepted more
than Lord Salisbury or the duke of
Richmond. During the last week the
agitation on the land bill. has made
great strides. The landlords, wings
and tories evidently intend to demand
a compensation for tenants interests
and the option of sale from the state as
proposed by Lord Landsdowre.
