lowing persons were on the hand car: Major

perintendent Fort, w. s. Coleman & Co.,
track contractors, Chicago, with wife and
little son. Negroes occupied the center and
propelled the car. They had not gone quar-
ter of mile when Painter saw the
headlight turning a curve. He sig.
order the negroes to reverse the hand car.
They had hardly turned when the first fat car
was upon them. Painter jumped to the
ground, followed by the negroes. Major
Washburne leaped Off on the opposite side.
When the train stopped Major Washburne was
found senselcss, one arm cut off and otherwise
bruised, having been run oyer by one car.
Mrs. Stoll was crushed to death, twelve cars

Fire In a Chicago ELEVATOR

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-About Z O'Clock this
moning the employees in Nealy & Hambleton's
grain elevator on Grove street, South Side,
upon trying to enter the building, we're driven
back by dense volumes of black somoke which
broke through the doorway. An alarm was
at once sounded. followed by second and
third, which brought out the entire force of
firemen in the city. The buildings are divided
into three sections, having frontage of $50
feet along the railroad and extending back 100
feet to the river. The center bullding is the
elevator proper, six stories high and thirty
feet front. East and west of this are two
three story stone buildings used as store
houses for grain. About $780, 900 bushels of
grain were in all the bins, but only 10000
bu shells of corn were injured and that guam
tity by water. Insurance men say that the
whole insurance aggregated $4,000 The
loss is comparately small, being only Sl1 900
to $l5, 900, and that the building is nearly I'M
harmed. Friction of the belts started the
flames and carelessness of the watchmen per-
mitted them to spread.
CHICAGO, Feb. G. A careful examination
of the Medley elevator, where the fire occurred
this morning, indicates the loss will be $50, 900,
depending on the condition of the corn which
was Injured by water.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 9.-The city of Adrian
Is in a state of great excitement over the dis
covery of seemingly unauthorized negotia.
ton of S150,000 worth OF bonds Of whose is
sue no one had any knowledge. A short time
since the council authorized the issue of this
amount of bonds for water works purposes,
but there has been an active hostility to the
measure. and doubts have been raised as to
the legality of the authorization. Now sud-
denly it appears that the whole issue
of these bonds has been negotiated through
the Union Trust Company, OF New York, aud
over half the money drawn on them. The
mayor of the city, Thos. j. Novin, is alleged
by New York parties to be the person who
negotiated the bonds and to have drawn the
money on them. All this has been done Sc
cretly and came out to-day and to the utter
establishment of the people. Novin denies
that any bonds haye been issued, but admits
that he has correspOnded with New York
parties as to what the prospective bonds could
be placed in that market for, and finally
admitted further that he had procured tho
printing of the bonds, but denied ever having
issued any. When the facts came out this
afternoon Novin left town. There is no doubt
that bonds purportlng to be signed by him
have been sold in New York, and held BY ex-
perienced dealers who believed them entirely
genuine. Things just at present wear a very
queer look

silence prevailed. He pushed his way

The Allen Light Guard

by the Allen Light guards. The immense hall
was beautifully decorated with bunting, fes-
TONED from the center to the sides and cor.

where the musicians were, the letters GA. L.

form was large portrait of Col. Allen, after
whom the company was named, beautifully and
artistically wreathed with red, white and blue.

various ways, and throughout, the hall had a
very gay and striking appearance. 1t has

series under the auspices OF Julian Tinkham,
the young and talented violnist. He was as
sisted by the promising Young artists, the

The programme was judiclously adapted to
