The RraidMond CaIamitY.

BRAIDwooD, Ill.,, March ga Daily
News special says: There is no change
in the situation at the Diamond shaft
since last night. Two forces of men are
at work in the mine, one force
clearing the track in the main roadway
and the other trying to make an en-
trance over or through the distractions
which block the way at the fartherest
point explored. The officials of
the mine state it is barely posi-
BILE that more bodies will be
found tonight. The objective
point of the search being large fal. of
rock about one hundred and ten yards
from the main shaft, at this place W as
found most of the bodies taken out
yesterday. 1t is thought number of
the victims lie under this mass of
debris. Explorations are extended
four hundred and twenty-five yards in
one direction from the main shat. and
five hundred and fifty-five in another.
About one foot of water still re-
mains in the bottom of the shaft
in spite of the work of the pumps;
showing that a great body of water re.
mains in the mine. Carloads of debris
are hoisted to the surface and dumped,
and few men and women stand list
lessly about viewing the desolate scene.
The body identified yesterday as that
of August Poland, turns out to be John
French. The coroner has returned to
Joliet to await further developments.

THE trial Of the four men charged
with the theft OF $4,000 in bonds of the
city of St. Joseph, Missouri, from tn Office

an important conclusion. Two of the

Gen. Porter has Sisbsnded his forces.
They have gone home, with the excsp-
ton of few scouts, leaving the United
States troops to capture Spiechee and
his men. At last accounts they had
not yet reached his camp, fifteen miles
west of the Sac and Fox agency. No
doubt he will surrender to them with
out resistance, as he would have done
to the Creeks had he not been afraid he
would have gone the way of Sleeping
Rabbit, killed while trying to escape.
Last Wednesday, detschement of
Thorp's army discovered the Spiechee
scoats and gave chase, capturing one.
They questioned him as to the
SPEECHES. Whereabouts and forces, but
as he wcsld tell nothing, they took
him out and shot him dead. There
are rumors here of more killing on the
same plan. News reached here to-
night of another killing near Eufola
last week. About twenty Chicote men
left that place and they discovered
Spiechee man named Echally Horge
and without more ado riddled him

ONE of the coming reforms in the
country ia the sd option of n constitu-
tionai amendment allowing the execu-
tive to veto separate items of an sp-
preparation bill. Governor Butler has
called attention to the necessity Of
such provision in Massachusetts in a
recent veto Of bill making sppropriv
ations for various expenditures con-
nGcted with charitable and reformatory
institutions of the state, some of these
appropriations he approves; but he can
only arrest others which he condemns
by vetoirg the bill as whole. New
York has set an excellent example to
the country by n constitutional pro-
vision allowing the governor i'll such
cases to pass judgment upon any item
without endangering tine fate Of the
rest. The system works admirably,
and other states Ms well as the national
congress could not do better thing in
the interest of good legislation than to
apply it in their respective spheres.

The Missouri legislature has been
discussing the liquor question, and has
finally decided in favor of high licenses.
A bill has been passed which levies n
tax of from $50 to 5000 for state pur-
poses, and another of from $3.50 to
$500 for county purposes, upon each
license every six months, while no
license is to be granted unless the ap-
plicant secures the signatures of two
thirds of the taxpayers in his neigh
borhood and files bond of $1,000 to
keep an orderly house and refuse
liquor To minors. The law provides a
heavy penalty for selling liquor to
habitual druukards, and has other
stringent features. The enactment of
such Il measure only emphasizes the
present drift of opinion regarding the
repression of drunkenness. which is
distinctly in favor of trying system
of high license fees and other rcstric-
tions upon the liquor traffic, rather
than to pass prohibitory laws which
public opinion will not enforce.

TWO TRUE BILLS.
Are What the Grand Jury Find
Against
VIM. Pitt Kellogg.
He Swears Dire Vengeance.
The Star Route Conspiracy.

BRADY, PRICE AND KELLOGG INDICTED.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The grand
jury came into court this afternoon and
returned an Indictment against Thos.
]. Brady for corrupt official action in
connection with the two Price routes,
one against VIM. Pitt Kellogg for un-
lawfully receiving money from Price in
consideration of corruptly influencing
the action of Brady in regard to Prices
mail route, and one against Tnos. ].
Brady and VIM. Pitt kellogg for con-
spiracy in connection with these same
routes.
INTEREsTIN DEVELOPMENTS PROMISED
KELLoGG's THREAT.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Coming de-
velopments in star route matters prom
ise some pretty lively reading. The
mysterious $2500 check, which Brady
manifested his willingness to testify
against the wishes of his lawyer, was,
it is said, giver by him to Dorsey as
his contribution to the republican cam
paign fund in 1880. Garfield sent his
famous dispatch to Dorsey, as secretary
of the republican national committee,
see Brady" which he did, receiving a
check for $2500 as stated. Ex-Sen. Kel-
logg is feeling very nervous over the
attitude of Brewster, the attorney gen.
eral, who threatens to have him in
dicted. Last year, when the matter
came up, Kellogg cracked the whip
over Secretary Chandler. The later
used his influence and saved kellogg.
Now it is said that Chandler does not
fear Kellogg and is willing for the law
to take its course. Kellogg, by the
way, says he has documents in his pos
session which will make it "hot as
h-p' for all concerned. He is fight
er, and if concerned will make it ex-
tremely entertaining for all his antag-
onists.

QUEEN VIoroRIA's fall on the stairs was
more serious than at first supposed. She
suffered an injury of the knee, as she per-
sisted in attending to her ordinary duties,
swelling and information set in, causing
her considerable pain. A report gained
currency in London Sunday that she was
in precsrious condition, but bulletins
from the royal physicians gave a more
encouraging account of the queens con-
ditioE. Her general health is reported
to be excellent. She is il her 64th year.
LADY FLORENCE DIXIE, who recently
assailed the integrity of the trustees of
the land league fuzds, was assaulted at
Windsor Saturday afternoon " two men
dressed in female apparel. Two dagger
thrusts penetrated her clothing, but

st. Bernard dog probably saved her life.
The lady swooned at the sight of the
immense knives. and the last thing she
remembers was one of the men filling her
mouth With mud. The palms of her
hands were cut across, the gloves being
severed, and her clothing was rent in
many places.

the objects which can be attained by an
other visit to the United States, and by
his presence at the Irish convention in
Philadelphia, are sufficient to warrant his
absence from England for short tine.

Judge HoMe,s Successor.

MANY WANT HIS OFFICIAL SHOES.
WASHINGTON, March N.-The upper
most question is. who will succeed to
his Office? Flley is talked of; SO is
Emory Storrs, of Chicago; and the pro-
motion of Frank Hatton to the cabinet
portfolio is predicted. 1t is also pre-
dicted that VIM. E. Chandler will be
transferred from the navy department
to the post-cf flee department, and that
a new secretary of the navy will be ap-
pointed. All speculations as to the new
postmaster general are premature. for
the president will not consider the ques-
ton of succession until after Mr.. Howe
is In his grave. With his usual way OF
procrastinating, it may be weeks before
he fills the Office. -

rendered the verdict of gully in the
case of the members of the Armagh
assassins' society who were on trial
here yesterday. Counsel for defense,

dictment of men who according to ev-
idence offered by Brown were
strongly implicated in the crime
