WASHINGTON, Jan. 14,-Senators who favor
Browns resolution for the appointment of
private secretary for each senator who is not
chairman of committee, at salary Of 81 200
ayear, to be paid out of the contingent fund,
are laboring earnestly to get it adopted. The
Democrats generally are willing to vote for it,
because they do not feel responsible now for
the senate legislation. They consider the Re-
publlcans responsible, because they control
the committees. and this responsibility makes
the Republicans hesitate. Some of them,
however, are supporting the resolution, and
it's chances of success in the senate have visi-
bly, improved in the last several days, but the
house may defeat the project. It is
true that the house will not have an opportu-
nifty to vote against this resolution directly,
because it provides for the payment Of sena-
tors clerks out of the senate contingent fund,
hut to do this the contingent fund will have
to be increased considerably, and the house
will have to vote upon this increase. The
theory of senator's that they have greater
need Of secretary than the representatives, is
not endorsed by the latter. The members of
the house insist that their labors are just az
onerous as those Of senators, and should the
senate adopt Browns resolution the house
will probably either defeat it ultimately by
voting down any increase of the contingent
fund, or initiate the senate by voting money
to pay private secretaries for representatives.

Triple Execution in North Carolina.

RE1Dsv1LLE, N. c., Jan 14.-At the court
house, in the town of Wentworth, Rocking
ham county, three colored persons, namely:
Joe Hay, Eldridge Scales and Matilda Carter,
were hanged yesterday, for the murder of
Nash Carter. The scene of the hanging was
in the bottom of deep raviine, which afforded
1000 spectators good opportunity to witness
it from the adjacent steep hill slopes. The
prisoners, shronded, were hauled at noon from
the Jail to the gallows seated on their collins
in an open wagon. The woman was in the
center and all three were hanged at once. The
execution was badly done.

New YORK, Jan. 14.-The body Of Senator
Wagner was recovered this forenoon from the
wrecked cars at Spuyten Duyvil and were
brought to this city accompanied by numer-
GUS friends and relatives and conveyed to his
residence. The body was burned SO as to be
unacceptable and was only identified by per-
sonal effects. Both hands were burned off
and his limbs drawn up in position that
showed the horrible agony the victim had
endured.
HORIZONS OF THE CoLLIsIoN.
HenryI. Roekenbaugh,a passenger describes
the horrors of the collision as something in
describably dreadful. The train stopped for
some minutes, and he walked back to look out
of a rear window in the last car in which he
was. He saw the engine Of the approaching
train laundering around the curve and turned
to run back to the forward end Of the car,
shouting as he ran, to warn his fellow passen-
gers of their danger. All started up from their
seats. Before he had reached half through the
car the shock came and he felt himself lifted
up in the air, pitch darkness followed. On all
sides cries OF
HORROR, ANGUISH AND DESPAIR
went up. Then lurid glow was cast through
the car from fire breaking out, aud he saw men
and women struggling to get free from the
wreck. he heard lady wedged in under
seat calling most piteously for help. He tried
to aid her, but he was held fast, and the fire
compelled him to leave her to her terrible fate.
He recollected seeing q stout lady, who was
as Miss Brown, get on the cars at
Greenbush.

pany of Chicago. The first train crossed it
the latter part of November,
1866, but during the entire winter
following workmen were engaged
in putting in rods and strengthening it in vari-
GUS ways. There are three spans and the draw.
The first and second spans from the east are
each 1874 feet in length, while the third is Is.
GUEssEs AT THE CAUSE.
Some critics say the draw is the best in the
world, but feel shaky about the spans. Each
span is separate from the other, and each bolt
ed to the pier at one end while the other rests
on sort of roller, to permit free expansion
or contraction with the variations
of temperature. Upon this fact chiefly is
builded the theory that one end of the
wrecked span slipped off the pier sideways. 1t
is impossible to see how any one can enter
tain the idea, for amoment, after examining
the structure and considering the facts the
force of collision can be estimated from the
damage to the engines, which is mere moth
ing. There could have been no conclusion
from that cause worthy thought. Neither
ought the sudden reversal of the engines and
application of brakes to have torn from it's
foundations reliable bridge of
any sort. Furthermore it is difficult
to believe that the dead weight of
the span bearing on the pier, which it over
hung fully four feet, could have been over
come if both trains running twenty five miles
an hour had struck the span at right angles.
In addition to this we have the evidence of the
pier itself. If the span had slid OF with its
own vast weight and that of five loaded cars,
that side of the pier from which it slipped
would have told the story in the splintering
and tearing away of the stone. The fact is
that the only splintering of the
capstone is where the span rested
showing that it gave away in the
middle and the ends of the span were drawn
from the pier in line with the track, neither
slipping to the right OF left hairs breadth
The fact that the span and ears lie partly on

Fatal Tidal Waves.

PANAMA, Oct. 31.-Last month the
district of San Bias, in this state, was
visited on the the 7th by serious
of tidal movements whic did dam
age to life and property. From the ac-
counts given by an Indian it appears
that the tide ran out great distance,
and on its return swept away the
villages built on the beaches of the
different islands of the archipelago
and on the main land. The outflow
and inflow occurred four times in a
day, the greatest damage being done
by the third wave. The villages OF
Rio Coco, Isla Padonia and Napa-
candi, on the islands of the same
name, were swept away, and more
than forty persons were drowned.
At Playond Grande every house was
washed down, but only two persons
were drowned. Playon Chico, which
adjoins, also suffered. Sixteen per
sons lost their lives at Aquila Candi
Island and several thousand dollars
worth of imported goods were swept
into the sea. The villages at Rio
Banana and Mosquito have also been
flooded, the people left homeless aud
their goods destroyed. Other villa
ges must have suffered, particulars
had not reached San Bias.

indian Marriage laws.

A PAPER on this subject, read by
the Rev. J. Owen Dorsey before the
Anglican Asso citation, notices some
rernlrksble customs in relation to
marriage and kinship as prevailing
among the Dhegitha Indians, par
ticllarly the Omahas and Poncas.
When a tribe is hunting it camps,

ans bearing the name of some
lsnimal. All the members of one
gems are relatives, and marriage
between members of one gems is
absolutely forbidden. Membership
in a gems is by decent in the male
line, not In the female. The rela-
tions of man are denoted by colors I;
for example-black, grand father or
grandmother; father or mother.
His connections are denoted by mix
ed colors, such as pink head and
skirt, with light-blue triangle on the
body, for sister-in-law. A man can
marry his brothers widow, and her
children call him father even before
their fathers death. His sisters
children are only nephews and
nieces His mothers sister is always
called mother for the same reason,
and even his paternal grandfather's
brothers son is his father. These.
and many other distinctions, show
that the terms of relationship are
far more numerous and complicated
with the Omahas than with us. A
man may marry any woman belong.

ed with him or not; though mar
riage into his mothers gems is also
forbidden. A man can not marry
any woman to whom he is related
by the ceremony of the calumet
dance. Sometimes a man may take
the children of his deceased brother
without their mother herself. Some
times the dying husband, knowing
that his male kindred are bad, tells
his wife to marry out of his gems.
If a widower remains single for two,
three, or four years, he must remain
SO for ever. Widows, however, must
wait four years before remarrying.
The same system prevails among the
Iowas, Otos and Missouris.

Made Him feel fifty per cent Better.

Some eight or ten years ago a sill
very-tongued chap who claimed to
be fruit tree agent swindled the
farmers in this county in shameful
manner, and one resident of Nankin
was SO mad about it that he came to
Detroit, searched the rascal out, and
gave him pounding on the street.

he told the fellow that he would lick
him twice as bad if he ever put eyes
Oh him again, and it was a threat to
be remembered and nursed. About
three weeks ago the Nankin man was
travelling in Washtenaw county, and
as he jonrneyed along the highway
he met traveller who so closely re-
sembled the fruit tree sgindler that
he called out:

pig.

The stranger "ciumb" without
protest, shedding his coat as he
struck the ground, and fight began.
In about two minutes he had used
up the farmer and was coollv re-
placing his coat.

Nankin, as he wiped his nose with
a burdoek, you fight better than

Collecting a Dividend.

In the early days of railroading in
Missouri, six foot stranger, with a
bad look in his eye, one day entered
station on the Blank and Dash
road, pulled out ten shares of stock
in the company and inquired of the
stationmaster if there were any div
idends on the stock.
Never heard of any," was the re-
ply.
Didn't anybody ever try to collect
dividends"
. If they did they didn't get any
thing"
This stock ought to pay ten per
cent, continued the stranger. "Here
is thousand. The 10 per cent. a
year would be a hundred dollars.
I've held these shares three months,
which would be twenty five dollars.

an expression which meant business,
and the agent didn't consume three
minutes counting out the money,
which the stranger took and walked
out with the remark that he never

ten per cent. and didn't belieye in

This was the only dividend paid
by the road for thirteen years, anu

owned mare for fourteen years
wb;ch was never shod. | used her
for breeding from a colt, and kept
her without shoes because it was
better for my purposes, az she would
not be so liable to inure her COTS,
aud she was not driven enough to
reouire shoeing. This mare was
never lame or tender-footed, but
she would slip on smooth ice, and
once fell down in crossing pond,
and would have injured herself Gas
she could not gain a foothold) If sne

by putting rope around her body
and bitching another horse to 1t and
sliding her several rods, broadside,
to the shore. Her feet were never
cut and contained all the natural
rim on the bottom, which, 1t Is
claimed, in a state of nature will
hold horses up, keeping them from
slipping anywhere.
There is vast difference IN the
! wearing effect on horses feet on
prairie land where there is an alb
sence OF grit, on plains where there
is more or less grass to soften the
football and alsoan absence OF gravel
and a gravelly road On such road
a horse might go on a walk, II mol
driven too much, without wearing
/ the hoois to the extent of becoming
footsore, but if driven on a rot oil
galloped any considerable amount
it would become footsore. l have
known colts while running IN the
pastures in Summer on gravelly soil
ov the natural wear OF the feet ano
lin stamping on account OF hles-tt

come decidedly tender-footed.
THERE'S agreat difference in hores
! about stepping; some strike the eet
very hard on the ground and offers
step lightly. The former wouu be
sure to get footsore without shoes,
and with them unless we'll shod,
while the latter might do veT well
! barefooted, under possible slrcum-
stances. There is also grea dlffer-
ence in the shape of horss feet.
Some are born flatfooted AMI become
, crippled unless extra careis had In
their shoeing; others hav hoofs SC
upright and hard that thy will en-.
; dure neglect and keep heir feet In
sound condition. A flatooted horse
usually has soft hoofShich wears

these facts that a geneal rule to de-
prive horses of shoes cnnot he made
always practicable.
A horse well sho,, SO that the
outer rim of the hoe rests fully on
the shoe, will always travel better
: than one poorly slod or one bare
footed. The curseof shoeing Is the
buttress-an instument which Il
blacksmith seems.o delight IN using
to cut down aflorse's heels, and
more horses are made tender-footed
from this abuse tian all other causes.
Farmers are veg apt to ALLOW their
horses to wear their shoes so long
that the outsise OF the hoof grows
over them, aid they grind the soft
and tender p,rtion of the foot, pro-
ducing corn whereas the shoe
should alwa's rest upon the rim or
outside. Tlis neglect is the worst
kind of ectnomy, as it often results
in permarent injury to valuable
animals. such shoeing is worse
than no sioes, but this ahIse is not
a conclusve argument against shoe
ling. but hould be conclusive against
bad shoing.-SaratOga.
