GENERAL NEWS FROM ALL SOURCES

CoLrMBUs, O., December l0.-This morn
ing the guards of the penitentiary found
John Welch suspended to the wall of his
cell in apeculiar position. On opening the
door and entering, life was extinct. Welch
was one-legged man who worked in the
cigar shop, and had concealed two pieces
OF small rope on his person when be left
off work last evening. One of these he fas-
tened to the staple over his bed, and placed
the other end about his neck, masing a
slip-knot. He had also, with other ropes,
tied his whole leg up to the gas jet, which
extends about two inches from the cell wall
at the head OF the bed, This he must have
done while sitting on The stool, which he
had Placed on the bed, Whiieziju the
rope. It would seem that he then pushed
the stool off, allowing himself to strangle
to death. The quilt was also thrown off the
bed.
He was convicted in 1880, at the March
term of court, of murder in the first de-.
gree, and his sentence afterward commuted
by Governor Foster to Imprisonment for
life, being received at the Penitentiary on
March 8, 1881, nearly one year after con.
yiction.

THE WHISKY DEALERS WAL.
Asking for an Extension Of the
Bonded Period.

Asking for an Extension OF ahe
Bonded Period
WASHINGTON, December 10.-The repre-
sentatiyes Of the sections in which whisky
is manufactured, and of the cities ir which
whisky is largely dealt in, are putting IN
the petition box in the House every day
petitions, signed by the manufacturers and
dealers Of their districts, asking for an ex-
tension of the bonded period for five
years.
The petitious generally set forth the
prostrated condition of the liquor trade
arising from over-prOduction, the bonded
warehouses in the States OF Kentucky,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Fir-
ginia containing at this time over 5000, 900
gallons, and the State of Kentucky alone
over 2,0O0, 900 gallons.
The petitioners ask that all whiskies now
in hand or remaining at the time OF the
passage of the act, be allowed to remain in
hand five years from the date of the first
entry, and that all spirits, distilled or man.
ufactured hereafter, shall be deposited in
distillery bonded warehouses, conditional
that the tax shall be paid thereon at or be-
fore the end of one year after the goods are
placed in bond.
Senator Beck proposes to bring this mat
ter up in the Senate at an early day, prob
ably by presenting a substitute for the
original bill, which extended indefinitely
the bonded period. 1t is doubtful whether
Congress, at this session, will give the
liquor distillers and dealers their desired
relief

RAILROADS.
Annual Report Of the Coramlss:o.er
OF Railroads.

Annual Report Of the CoElmlss:o:er
OF Railroads.
WASHINGTON, December 10.-In the au-
nual report of the Commissioner OF
Railroads for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1882, the Commissioner says as rule the ac-
counts Of the roads are kept in thorough
ly comprehensive and business like man
ner. The members of the Bureau made
extensive trips this year to inspect the
vast properties of the numerous bonded
and land grant railroads coming within its
jurisdiction. A decidedly healthy i'm
provement in the construction, operation
and business is manifest. Steel rails are
being substituted for iron as rapidly as
practical, more ties are used to the mile,
better fastenings and good ballast being
used. Bridges and buildings are not only
being repaired and renewed, but generally
improved and replaced by better ones,
the grades and curvatures reduced and
general Improvements made as far as
is practicable, the best locomotives
being used and improved passenger and
freight cars purchased or built.
The construction OF railroads the present
year deserves very thoughtful Considera-
ton. The Pacific Company is rapidly ex-
tending their lines to secure the trade
which is rapidly developing in new Sec
tions, or make through connections with
important distributing points, which will
ultimately be of great value 10 the main
lines. The money applicable to the repay
ment OF interest is 3 per cent OF the net
earnings, and the sinking fund derived
from transportation receipts will be SlG-
SO4.O44. Total cash payments to December
81, 1881, required from companies in addi-
tion to the retention of the entire compen-
sation for services are: Central Pacific,
50, ,2S2, 26i; Central Branch, Union Pacific
1883; Union Pacific, 1901, ,S37; total 81
lS6.O54. The total Indebtedness Of the sew
eral subsidized Pacific railroads to the United

A MODERN GUY FAWKES.
An Attempt TO Blow Up Cabin and
its Occupants.


BRowNsTowN, IND, December 10.-A
plot was conceived and put into execution
to blow up a rude one story log dwelling,
situated on the line OF the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi railroad, about three quarters of a
mile east OF Shields Station.
While two women were cleaning up the
house, they built a roaring are in the old
fashioned fire place. A few hours later
they rested from their labor and started 10
see the folks at neighboring residence.
Scarcely had they emerged from the build.
ing when loud explosion was heard, and
looking back they beheld bricks and
shingles flying in the air above the roof OF
the house they had just left. Investigation
revealed the fact that the fire place had
been underlaid with gunpowder or other
explosive matter. The bricks ilewin every
direction, several of them having been
blown upward tnro ugh the ceiling and
out Of the roof, and as many more through
the windows of the house.
From the force of the explosion 1t is
evident that the intention Of the Guy
Fawkes gunpowder plotter was to blow up
the building, regardless Of consequences 10
the occupants. The misCreant is still the
sole posscssor OF his infamous secret.

the penitentiary where, as common rumor
has it, he was sent for the last act in a Sc
ries of wife beatings which had been going
on for some time, During his imprison-
ment his wife had obtained a divorce and
when he came into the house where she
lived, she quietly informed him of the fact,
adding that she did not care for another
exhibition of his conjugal affection.
Whereupon Mr.. Emener was so deeply
grieved that he turned his back on the
cruel woman and walked out into the street,
when he drew an old cigar knife from his
pocket and tried to sever his jugular vein.
His first attempt was unsuccessful and his
second was interrupted by Officer Good, Of
the Sixth Precinct, who laid the strong
hand of the law upon the deSpOndent ex-

AssessmenI Investigation.

Special Dispatch to the Register.
WARRINGTON, December l0-While both
Democrats and Republicans profess to be
in favor OF ventilating the political assess
ment business, there is some hesitancy
about opening the gates wide. Some OF
Beck's friends wanted him to accept Hale's
amendment and let the investigation
cover everything in the line of alleged po-
litical crookedness connected with recent
happenings in Congress aud elsewhere, but
Beck is a canny old Scotchman, and he
claimed that the Republicans were trying
to swamp his investigation with deluge
of testimony and a width Of research that
would keep a committee engaged until
doomsday to get through with it. 1t will
make interesting reading if the Judiciary
Committee is empowered to 60 into any
part of l., and the newspaper men here are
so convinced Of il that many of them, the
Associated Press included, have made ex-
ira preparations to report the testimony If
taken. Ian.
