Died at His Post.

DIXON, No, Jan. 3o-An engine on the St
Louis & SAN Francisco road jumped the track
about two miles east of Dixon, yesterday, and
the result was tragedy one man being killed
instantly and another so severely injured that
he died to night. The man killed was engineer
G. M. Favor. a resident of Springfield Mo, T.
A. Robinson, his fireman, whose home is here,
was fatally scalded, dying at 8 o'clock. Favor
was one of the most popular men On the Frisco
road. He died at his post and to his bravery
and presence Of mind, doubtless. many of the
passengers who were aboard the Springfield ac-
eommodation train this afternoon, owe their
lives Although his engine did not run more
than thirty yards from where it left the rail
until it rolled down an embanklnent twenty or
thirty feet. yet he threw on the air brakes, re-
versed his engine and called for brakes with the
whistle When dragged from among the debris,
of which his engine was part, he, still in death,

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS-
THE SENATE.
Debate on the Conference Report Relative to
the Greedy Relief Bill.

Debate on the Conference Report Relative to
the Greedy Relief Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Apetition was present
ed signed by four thousand citizens Of the District
ofColulnbia, and otherpetitions signed by a large
number Of citizens of the Territories of Wash
ington, Dakota. and Idaho all praying the en-
actment of law prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic liquors in the District and
Territories.
Mr.. Hale called up the report of the committee
of conference of both houses relating to the
Greedy relief expedition. The report recommends
that the Senate recede from it's amendment re
quiring that only persons who volunteerfor serv-
ice shall be detailed for the expedition
Mr. Sherman stated if he had known the bill
when presented authorized the Secretary of the
Navy to order any man outside of the line of his
duty to take his life in his hands, as would be the
case with such an expedition as this, he would not
have voted for it.
Mr. Salisbury was opposed TO giving any man,
whether Secretary of the Navy or President
authority to order or assign men arbitrarily for
voyage so perilous while others would gladly
volunteer for the purpose. He did not know
that the Secretary of the Navy would assign any
man to work who would not be perfectly willing
to CO. but if the Secretary wanted to punish any
officer, such an assignment would afford an op
portunity He remembered the fate of Lieuten-
ant Herndon, whose explorations on the Amazon
reflected so much credit on the country, and he
remembered that brave officer was assigned in
charge of a vessel against whose seaworthiness
he unavailipgly protested, and in consequence of
that assignment lost his life.
Mr. Hale dissented from the views expressed
by the senator from Delaware He hoped the
spirit of the navy would be tested in this matter
and the Senate not recede from its amendment
Mr. ingalls, hoped the Senate would not reeede.
AT o'clock the chair informed the Senate that
the hour had arrived for the senators to attend
the funeral ceremonies of the late Representa-
tive Maekey, and the senators thereupon pro-
eeededed in a body to the hall of the House. On
their return the Senate adjourned

A DULL DAY AT CHICAGO.
The Markets Inactive and Apathetic-Expec-
tation of q ''Bull" Movement Day

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-Apathy and inactivity were
the leading features in to-days markets. The
opening in wheat was fairly firm at slightly
higher prices than were current on the call yes
terday, and an advance of 1-4c followed on firm
cables and soft weather. but later New York adj
vices reported foreign markets weaker, and the
advance was more than lost. There was slight
recovery toward the close, but the general tone
OF the market was quiet and easy. The extreme
range for the day was 3-4c in the May option;
No. spring in store sold at 81 1-4c.
Corn ruled quiet and about steady, advancing
l4c over the opening, free buying by Bliss.
Pickering, and other large SPECTATORS later fall
ing l-Sc under the opening, in sympathy with
wheat, and on selling led by Comstock, Schwartz
d Dupee, and good-sized line of holders The
closing was about steady at the best price of the
day. except for cash stuff. No. in store sold
early at 81 l-2c, but advanced to 81 34c; high
mixed ruled at 81 3-4c, and rejected at 43 lie.
Rye was quiet, with sales slow at 58e for Feb
ruary.
Provisions were firm early in the day, liberal
buying by Robert Warren, Jones, and like spec
ulators advancing pork 25G30c over the open
ing, though before the close this was half lost
through a falling off in the demand. On the
P. NJ call the markets were strong on free GOV
ering by the ''shorts, and the closings on the
curb were at the prices following: May wheat

it imperative that persons commencing an action
fer libel must disclose the names Of the parties
