A Train Delayed by Antelopes. =
the west bound train between Green
River and Granger, onthe Union Pa
chic, recently encoante. ed dock Of
] 200 or l 800 antelopcs. The SNOW
was quite deep and driftcd in places,
and the ntelopes were running on
The roadbed, finding that the easiest
road to travel in. When they were
first encountered many of them were
killed, and the engineer, seeing at
once that the train might be deraled
unless it were slowed up, decreased
the speed. The antelopes kept q
short distance ahead of the engine,
and were strung along the road for
quarter of mile. They would oc-
casionally get some distance from the
engine, and then they would stop
turn around, and watch the headlight
until the engine was fairly upon them.
They delayed the train half or three
quarters OF an hour.

THE APPOINTING POWER.
The Bill Giving the Mayor of New York
Power to Designate SubOrdinateS.

ALBANY, March 17-Governor Cleveland has
approved the Roosevelt bill giving the mayor of
New York power of appointment, without con-
frmation by the Board of Aldermen. The Coy
ernor says: ''If the chief executive of the city
is to be held responsible for its order and good
government he should not be hampered by any
interference with his selection of subordinate ad
ministrative officers, nor should he be permitted
to find divided responsibility an excuse for any
neglect of the best interests of the people, The
plea should never be heard that a bad nomiua-
tion had been made because it was the only one
that could secure confirmation. An absolute and
undivided responsibility on the part of the APP
principles, the application of which to public af
fairs will always l believe, direct the way to
good administration and protection of the PEG
pies interests"

FOR THE FLOOD SUFFERERS.
A Kansas Contribution, Accompanied by a
Little GlOrificatiOn of Sedgwick County.

WICHITA, Kan, March ia solid train, con
sisting of thirty-one cars loaded with corn, which
was contributed by farmers of Sedgwick county
and business men of this city, to the flood suf
ferers Of the Ohio river valley left this city at
l0;45 this morning The train, which was deco
rated with bright coored and suggestive car
toons and bunting, moved off amid the cheers of
hundreds of persons and the enlivening music OF
brass band. Each is furnished with two
cartoons, one upon each side, measuring twenty
eight feet in length; the subjects are varied and
suggestive, with appropriate notices. The dec
Grafton was done by the Santa Fe Railroad
Company, which furnished the cars and engine
free of cost to haul the train to Cincinnati, and
which will go from here to Kansas City over
their road, from Kansas City to St. Louis
over the Chicago & Alton and from st. Louis to
Cincinnati via. the Ohio & Mississippi
road. The train, as it stood on a side track yes
terday, viewed by thousands of people. and
was photographed and sketched by several artists.
The thlrty-one cars contain II, 400 bushels of
corn, shelled and cleaned, and was the spontane-
Gus Offering Of our people, all being raised within
a few days twenty-siX townships of the county
each contributing one car and some Of them
more Hundreds of wagon-loads additional were
offered. and a number of loads came in this
morning, but they were too late to go into the
train, which was already as large as could be
conveniently handled. Several hundred dollars,
contributed by citizens of Wichita, are still on
hand and will be sent by draft.
Sedgwick county is known as the great
valley county of Kansas is nearly thirty
miles square, and is watered by three
rivers Shortly after its first settlement ten
years ago it was almost devastated by grass
hoppers, but since then the farmers have grown
rapidly rich. The farmers had on hand on the
lst day of March, l. 700 900 bushels of old corn.
and the crop report for 1888 shows 5,481, 900
bushels of corn raised, 11S7 600 bushels of
wheat harvested, and Ii 600 bushels of oats,
most. The property valuation has grown from
nothing dozen years ago to upward Of $40 000,-
600. The train sent out today could be dupli-
Gated every month in the year and the corn not
be missed by these prosperous and whole-souled
farmers

DIR. JOHN P. NEWMAN.
A Vigorous Expression of Know Nothing
Sentimental Temporary Truce.

New YORK, March 17-Parson J. D. New
man, of the Madison Congregational Church,
preached to $500 people last night. He said dur
ing his DISCOURSE: II shall not be satisfied until
see the day in this country when Congress so
amends the naturalization laws that foreigners
will be compelled to reside here just as long as
l, a native born, did myself before they can ex-
ercise the elective franchise America is for the
Americans. Too much premium is given in
this country to foreigners. All the offices are
open to them. l shall be glad if legislation is
enacted that snail declare thai no foreign-bo
citizen shall ever enter the halls of legislation
These sentiments astounded many in the audi
ence, and a large number of foreigners got up
and left the church.
A truce has been declared in DR. Newman's
Church, to last until the end of this month. His
pastoral relations cease then, according to con
tract, and since the council has declared that he
is not a permanent pastor, not having been in
stalled, his opponents are willing to wait until
the expiration of the contract before taking
further action There is no probability that he
will retire, and definite announcement to the
effect that he will not will be the signal for
another fractional struggle 1t is probable that
when the struggle begins his following will call
for installation and his opponents will try to
prevent it.
