NEW YORK, Feb. 1S-Early this morning,
as the cook of Hotel st. Andre, in east
Eleventh street, was going up stairs, he
noticed a strong smell of gas, which he
traced to room on the first floor. He en-
tered the room by the balcony fronting the
building. In the room was young man,
unconscious, in bed. He was lightly
wrapped in the bed clothing, and had a
handkerchief tied over the lower part of
his face. The clerk turned off the gas,
which was escaping from the chandelier,
and called the proprietor of the hotel.
Physicians were called, but could not re-
store the man to consciousness. 1t was
finally decided to attempt to restore him
by the TRANSMISSION of blood. Edward
Banks, jet black negro in healthy con-
condition, offered himself to the physicians,
who transfused nearly quart of bleod in
to vein in the arm of the dying man.
The result was successful and the man re-
gained his senses. When he was able to

young man had registered on Friday
evening as ''P. Danson, city" The night
clerk says he was perfectly sober and did
not act as if he was insane, and from let
ters found in pocket it was ascertained
that he was F. D. E. r. Okeburg, clerk
in the Office of President VanHorne in
the Western Union building. He is about
thirty years old and resides with his
wife and child in Brooklyn. He was
born in Sweden and has always been a
temperate, hard working man. Word was
at once dispatched to Mrs. Okeburg, but
upon her arrival the husband refused to
speak to her, asserting that he did not
know her. He also refused to speak to his
child, but when Banks, the colored man
whose blood brought him back to life, en-
tered the room Okeburg Immediately ad
dressed him as ''dear brother" He added:
"Banks is my brother and 1 don't know
this woman" Srhe physicians cannot &C
count for Okeburg's singular freak, but
they think that the feeling of antipathy to
his family will soon pass away. Okeburg
will be removed to his residence in Brook
lyn tomorrow.

BRAIDwooD, Ill, Feb. 18.-It was learned
yesterday that Harry Eadie and man
whose name could not be learned were
among the lost. Two other men, it is
feared persisted. This puts the total num-
Der known to a certainty to be dead at
seYenty-fve. The only animals i'm the pit
were nine mules, and they were lost.
There is much difference of opin-
ion about placing the responsibility
of the accident. Some blame
Tom Daily for being slow in giving the
alarm; others think if David Skinner, the
pit boss, had been at his post, warning
might have been conveyed to all the men.
As it was he was with David Mackie, the
superintendent, engaged in making out
the pay roll. The fact is no one realized
the extent of the disaster until it was over,
and the death of so many may be ascribed
more to the carelessness and slowness of
the victims than to anything else.

BRAIDwooD, Ill, Feb. 1S.-The situation
at the Diamond mine is unchanged. No
additions to the list of drowned are re-
ported. A large number of people from
the surrounding country are visiting the
dreary scene. The dam around the sink
hole is about half completed, and is ex-
pected to befnished to-morrowand the work
of pumping out rle water begun. Doubts
are expressed whether the dam will be
strong enough to resist the water from the
surrounding prairies after the pumping
begins, and it may become necessary to
dig ditch to Goose lake, distance of
five miles before the work of getting the
water out can be successfully carried on.
The mayor of this town has called mass

steps for the relief of distress in the fami

Troy, n. Y, Feb. 17.-There is intense
indignation in the little village of Rands-

cious cruelty. John Roche, seventeen years
of age, was bound out by New YORK asy
lum to Michael Tupee, residing in the
above village. 1t soon became noised
about that Roche was refused sufficient
food, was forced to draw logs and perform
other hard labor, All was frequently beat
en- by Tupee. The boy co2ld not be in
duced by neighbors to complain to the
authorities. A day or two ago cries for
mercy were heard issuing from Tupee's
house, and several persons who responded
saw Roche upon his knees pleading with
the man for compassion. The boy
was taken to an adjacent dwell
ing, and there it was learned
that two of his toes had been so badly fro
zen that they had dropped OFF. He states
on the most severe days of the winter he
had been sent to work in the woods, with
nothing but rags encasing his feet. The
latter was frozen and even then Tupee
would not permit him to cease labor, but
instead poured grease upon the rags and

ELGIN OVERLOOKED.

ELG1N, Ill, Feb. 1S.-The freshet flood
ed most of the cellars in the city, and in a
the ground floors to the extent of from ten
to twenty inches. The Easements of al
most every business house on Chicago
street are filed with water. The chief
anxiety centers in Fox river. This stream
was twenty light inches higher at o'clock
this morning than at the same hour yes
terday. The rise averaged six inches an
hour, and unless the sudden lowering of
the temperature has an effect, the high
water mark of 1881, when the flood de-
stroyed large amount of property, will
have been reached. When the iron bridge
at the Chicago street crossing was carried
out two years ago, it was re-
placed by a pile structure.
This structure has been allowed to remain
in spite of the protests of citizens, and its
presence is likely to produce gorge that
will divert the channel of the river
from its usual course md through the east
ern part of the city. If this should oc-
cur the extensive works of the watch COM
pany will be in the direct course of the
stream. The city council, which has been
threatening TO prepare for the freshet for
several months, met this afternoon in spe-
cial session and ordered the immediate
thinning out of the piles and the trussing
of the bridge. The council also ordered
the blasting of the ice bridge that chan
mel might be cleared for that coming from
above.

The shipping port at Portland will need

men that If the water continues to recede
slowly but little additional damage will be
done. but on the point the water will re-
main after the river has reached its normal
stage again, and will have to be moved by
artificial means, as the land lies lower than

departed for Green river this morning

New YORK, Feb. 18.-Detective Patrick
Carr and Edward Looney, of Brooklyn,
came to New York last evening to arrest
Robert Monroe, alias Harrington, for bur-
glary. To-day they ascertained that he
had been boarding at No. 1915 First ave-
nue.. At dusk they we're opposite the house
waiting for Monroe to come out. He came
out at 8 o'clock and then walked to Sixty
first street and towsrds Second avenue.
The detectives followed, waiting to see if
he met anybody. On Second avenue he
walked toward the elevated road, and they
decided to arrest him. Looney was few
feet in advance of Carr, and was about to
lay his hands on Monroe's shoulder
when Monroe turned, drew pistol
from his oyercoat pocket and fired. The
bullet struck Looney in the neck and he
fell. Carr fired at Monroe, but missed
him. Monroe turned and fired two shots
at Carr. The second bullet struck Carr in
the neck. Monroe ran toward Third ave-
nue.. Carr chased him and fired at him
twice again, but did net hit him. Looney
had got up and joined in the chase, and
they were close on Monroe when he
reached Third avenue. A. crowd had been
by the pistol shots and seeing
the two detectives pistol in hand bleeding,
gathered around them and Monroe es-
capped. Detective Hickey and Policeman
Brannigan, who were in the neighborhood,
helped Looney and Carr to Mount
Sinai hospital, where their wounds
were dressed. Both bullets were
extracted. The men had been shot in
about the same place on the left side of the
neck. The ball that struck Looney had
passed through his coat collar and was ex-
tracted at the back of the neck. Bsth
wounds are of serious character, though
not fatal.

GALLATIN, Mo-, Aug. 31.-In the Frank
James trial the defense concluded their
line of impeaching the witnesses. James
S. Dunaster. justice of the peace, was the
first witness. He testified that at the cor
oner's inquest on the body of Wood Hite
Mrs. Bolton testified she had not seen
Frank James for two years, and then
at her fathers house. Before the
next witness was called Colonel Phillips
arose and stated that General Shelby was
at the door and desired to make state
ment to the court and when the general
came in, he saluted the court and said:
"If anything may have said or done yes
terday offended the dignity of the court I
regret it exceedingly. AS to other parties
1 have no regrets" Judge Goodman
replied. "Gen. Shelby, your conduct yes
terday in appearing before
the court in unfit condition
and showing an insubordinate spirit was
reprehensible in the extreme. as it was not
only defiance of the dignity of the
court, but calculated to prejudice the in
terest of the defendant. You are man of
national reputation and enjoy the respect
and confidence of large number of peo-
pie of Missouri I can only say 1 was
much astonished at your very reprehensi-
bic action yesterday. 1t is in testimony
you have drawn 2 pistol right in court,
which is IN itself contempt of court.
Gen. 8 Shelby, GnteTrupting,) 1T is
false"

testified to it under oath"
Gen. Shelby-"Then he lied"
The c1I1rr l.
apology to it, but your attitude towards
the attorneys for the state Yesterday in
answering in a threatening and offensive
manner and talk Of calling them to a per
sonal account cannot be overlooked. The
court then fined him SO, which he paid and
then passed out of the court room.
1. G. Mason, A. Duval, W. D. Rice and
James Duval all impeached the testimony
of the f'ords, testifying they had heard
them say they had not seen Frank James
tor years, and he had gone south and was
trying to lead better life, and John
Samuels, half brother of Frank James, and
an inmate of the Samuels' household, had
not seen Frank James before the Winston
robbery since 1867, and then at home. He
saw him after his surrender in
independence jail. In May, 1881, saw
Jesse with Dick LiddelI at his mothers
house and heard Jesse and Liddell both
say they had left Frank in Kentucky; that
he was in bad health and was talking
about going south and saw Jesse, Dick
Liddell, the Kites and Charlie Ford dur
ing the summer. There was a striking
family resemblance between Wood Hite
and Frank James; saw Cummings twice
during the summer of 1881, the first time
in company with Jesse and Dick Lddell.
Cross examined he admitted he knew they
we're all outlaws and were armed at all
times, and heard in the papers they had
robbed banks and trains.
