fearful devastation. At Reak and Grau
large volume of water held back in the
Narrow Rock channel, constituting great
danger to the lowlands of South Hungary.
Thousands of soldiers and workmen are

United states Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, January l2.-The Commit
tee on Expenditures in the Department OF
Justice. which has been investigating the
CffiCe OF Mr.. Mckinney, clerk of the United
States Supreme Court, is about ready to re-
port. The information furnished by the
employe whom Clerk Mckinney discharg-
cd haS been fully verified. Mckinney him
self testified that his receipts last year were
Sii,447, and the expenses of the office only
amounted TO $4,000, leaving q net
profit for Mckinney Of S29,477. This is
nearly four times as much as the Chief
Justices salary, and about six times the
salary of a member of Congress. In one
case the constructive fees amounted to
5000, while the whole Of the costs to the
Parties involved was $1,000. Under q rule
OF the court the clerk is allowed % cents
Tor every hundred words of the record in o
case, upon the theory that he furnishes
manuscript copy TO the printer. But in
TACT he furnishes the original record, and
Ihe the twenty-eight cents per hundred
words are clear gain.

ACCIDENT or SUICIDE?
Peculiar Circumstances Surrounding
Death of an ohio Merchant.

DeAth OIL an OBtO hefehau%
CALDWELL, O., Jsnusry 12.-Yesterday
morning B. NJ. Morganage, merchant Of
Dudley, near here, was found dead in his
wareroom. A Winchester rifle was found
hanging mnzzls down, caught by de-
scending trap door. 1t is certain he was
standing on the stairway, the gun resting
on the banisters, when shot. He had
fallen to the floor below, the brains
exuding from hole in the skull. The fact
that the ball had passed through the left
hsnd, and that he held tthe gun in that
hand and could not have fred the gun with
his right hand IN that position, leads to the
belief that il was accidental. Other cir
cumstances, not the least of which is do
mestic difficulties, supposed financial en-
barraSsments and 50, 500 accident policy
lead to the theory of suicide. The Coro-
ner. however, decided that death was acci-
dental.

House.

Mr.. Butterworth, of Ohio. from the Com.
mittee on Pacific Railroads. reported bill
authorizing the Southern Pacific and other
railroad companies to unite, so as to form
a continuous line of road between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. On the House
calendar is also a bill to compel the pay
ment. by the Kansas Pacific, of the coast
surveying, selecting and conveying certain
lands granted to il, and to create a sinking
fund for the Kansas Pacific, Sioux City and
Pacific and Central branch of the Union
Pacific. Placed on the House calendar.
The bill to increase the fees Of the Star
route witnesses coming from west of the
Mississippi was passed.
. The bill to prevent the unlawful occupa-
tion of public lands was referred to Com
mittee of the Whole.
Mr.. Bingham, of the Committee on Post
offices and Postroads, reported favorable a
resolution calling on the Secretary of the
Interior for information as to whether the
land grant railroads complied with the
laws OF Congress respecting the construc
tion and maintenance of their own tele-
graph lines for the use OF the government
and the public. Adopted.
The House then resumed consideration
of the Shipping bill, the pending question
being on the committee substitute as
amended for the eighteenth section.
The House got the bill into strange shape
to-day by refusingAp strike out the boun-
ties and adopting The eighteenth section,
including free ships, free. materials, and
John Roach. IL is thought the bill with its
incongruities, will be defeated. Richlieu
was proud of him as an Irish boy and as
an American, which amused the members
who always gather about TO hear him twist
the British lions tail.

A GRAVE CHARGE.


killing His Son.
ST. LOUIS, January 12.-An Irishman
known as Drunken Jack" sheehan, was
locked up yesterday afternoon on charge
OF having murdered his son James, a lad Of
seventeen years. 1t seems that Sheehan
went home drunk, !quarreIed with his wife,
drove her ont of doors, and is then said by
one of his little children to have struck
his boy James, who was lying sick in bed,
a heavy blow in the chest, which shortly
afterwards resulted in death. At all events
the boy died, and the coroner is now in
vestigating the matter. Sheehan denies
striking his son, or haying any trouble
with him. On the contrary, he claims to
have given the boy medicine, and other.
wise treated him kindly.

BOUGHT A CORPSE.

How An Unssphiaticated OLD Man Was
"Done Up" by . DYsce 81 fshsrpsrs.
MAssILIos, January IA new scheme
TO make money from the pockets Of unsus-
pecting travellers on railroads was devel-
oped yesterday by Mr.. Clay, an aged farmer
from Illinois, and who. by the way, is q son
of the first white woman married ia this
county. He is on visit to the scenes
of his childhood here, and laughingly
tells how he bought corpse on the
train hitherward. Shortly after leaving
Chicago a young man sat down beside him,
and in the course Of conversation found
out that the old gentleman was first going
on q visit TO friend In Fostorio, Ohio. The
young man lived in Fostoria knew his
friend, and was just on his return from Or.
egon. where he had been to settle the es.
tate OF a brother who had died, and he had
the corpse in the baggage car. After the
train got into this State q confederate OF
the
Sorrow.Stricken Man.
in the guise OF the express agent, confront.
ed Mr.. Clay and his new.msdc friend,
stating to the latter that under the rules
of the company lie was compelled to collect
the forty dollars charges on the corpse he
fore they reached Fostoria. That was un.
fortunate, as the sadeyed young man did
not have money enough with him, but he
had New York draft for 81 800 in his
trunk, which he was willing 10 give as
security until he got 10 his destination.
The express agent said his trunk was under
other baggage and could not be got at.
Perhaps his old friend would let him have
that amount until they got to Fostoria? II
was counted out and handed over, and at
the next station the train stopped the old
flaun ,,,isead hts aniiptad frianh and
the express agent, and strange to say could
not even find Il Q "s,ih" to sell to q medi.
cal college, and thus be partially reim-
bursed for his loss

After the Sundays services At Grand

time Monday and Tuesday looking over
the city and country. There are very
fine farms, the most of them walled in
with stone, around the city. The farm
ers are prosperous; some of them rich
in herds of cattle and horses. The Cot
tonwOnd valley is narrow, but very ter
tile. The hills on either side afford
wide Pasturage, and they are covered
with fat cattle.
The business men who were burned
ont awhile ago, are going ahead in tenn
porary buildings with their business
while their new houses are growing uI
ont of the ashes. They are manifesting
the kind Oi pluck that

been through former fire. They are
going to bulld Of stone this time. There
are some residences going up also. A
two story addition has been built on to
the Methodist parsonage. This makes
it roomy, but not handsome house
A string town is being built between
Strong and Cottonwood Falls. When
this connecting link is completed, why
not let old animoaities lie out, abolish

together and build mp double city
which will be credit to both parties
