Sad Case of Parental Grief.

A writer in the Washington Sunday
Herald says: EX-Gov. Stanford, of Califor.
MIA, and his wife say to their intimate
friends that they are still absorbed by theil
grief for the death of their only son. They
keep his body in a casket in a private room
and visit it daily and read their Bible and
pray beside the casket. They will not bury
the body until they take it to California, and
place it in a costly mausoleum they are hay
ing erected for it in their ranch at Palo Alto,
in memory of their dead son. They will
give 4 ZOO acres of this ranch to the state OF
California. This is to be used for educa-
tional purposes, as it was the earnest wish
Of this youth, young as he was, to found q
school for California boys, where the stud
les he found most congenial-gcology, min
eralology and archaology-would be speci-
these branches, although he was but 16
years old when he died.

LOST IN H DEEP.
The French Brig Senorine Goes Ashore
at Grand Banks.

A special from St. Johns, N. + the
oath, says: The French brig "Senorine''
went ashore at Grand Banks and is a total
wreck. Fifty-three passengers and nine OF
the crew were lost. The ''Senorine' was
caught in a fog and the captain lost his
bearings. He was making for ST. Johns,
goilg slow, when she struck. The widest
disorder prevailed, the officers and crew
making for the boats and leaving the pas
sengers to care for themselves. A boat
containing twenty passengers and some Of
the crew was swamped after it got away
from the steamer by the lurching OF the
vessel. The screams of the women were
heartwrending, and most of them sank i'm
mediately. The men struggled, but only a
few succeeded In catching floating spars.
The captain was unable to maintain disci-
pline, and among the passengers few were
able to save themselves. Many chung to the
rigging after the first shock, thinking the
vessel would stand the strain and they
might be picked up when the fog cleared.
But when the vessel went to pieces they
were all lost. Only about twenty persons
were saved.

THE COMING CONVENTION.
Final Arrangements Perfected for tn,
Great Political Gathering.

There was held in Chicago on Mon.
day a joint meeting of the subcommittee
of the republican national committee and
local committee Of arrangements Of the re-
publican national convention to decide upon
changes necessary to be made in the hall
after the musical convention and prior to
the convention. 1t was decided to take out
$50 seats next to the stage, and In the space
thus vacated to put up a stage nine inches
high, on which are to be placed tables for
the use of 800 members of the press, the
next 900 seats to be used by delegates and
alternates. Between the space allotted to
the delegates and that for alternates, a row
Of seats will be taken out for a p~assageway,
and between the alternates and the general
public two more rows will be taken out for
the same purpose. A hand-rail will be
put upIbetween the alternates and the pub
lie and picket gates placed in the aisles, n
at these doorkeepers will be placed to keep
out all but those for whom seats are intend
ed. These changes will take out 2, 200 seats,
leaving 1000 for the public, including
the galleries, in which are 1000 seats for
the public. The hall is exactly thirty feet
less in length than the hall of 1880, but the
chairs are placed closer than in 1880 and
are a little smaller. The committees have
made a discovery which caused some
amusement. 1t was found that the direct
ors OF the building, who applied for six
hundred seats and were respectfully re-
fused, had surreptitiously constructed a
platform for about one hundred seats on
the west fly of the building. Access is OBJ
tanned outside of the hall proper, so the
committees have no authority over the
trespassers, and will make no objections.
Mr.. New, Of the committee, said as to the
admission of contesting delegations, that
he presumed they would be admitted on
the same footing as other delegates, and il
the committee on credentials chose to dis |
them they could do so.

ADeath-D Dealing Explosion at Dubuque.

A terrible explosion occurred at Du.
buque on the oath. Two of the three boil
ers in the sash and door factory of Carr,
Rider &c Wheeler exploded with terrible
force. The boiler house was completely
destroyed and the boilers thrown sideways
in us many different directions. The one
that did not burst was thrown intact a dis
lance of thirty feet against the mill. A
solid division wall separated the boiler
house from the mill, else the destruction
and loss of life would have been ter
rible. The mill employs 200 men. The
corner of a dwelling near the boiler
house was torn completely out and several
women injured. The engineer and two
tiremen were in the boiler house at the time
and were buried beneath the debris. Two
children playing next to it were also buried.
The following are the killed:
Milo NJ. Mellen, engineer, aged 80. He
leaves a wife. Fritz Villinger, fireman,
single, and the two children Of Charles May,
aged 6 and 3. Michael Mclaughlin, second
fireman, was horribly burned and mangled.
He cannot live but q few hours. Mrs. Mar
garet Walter was struck by flying bricks
and badly cut. Her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Albert Walter, and her three children were
also injured. Mrs. Lear and Mrs. Vogler,
in the same dwelling. were also hurt.

THE NEGRO SWINGS.
A Brief Outline of His Terrible Crime.

William Brown (colored) was exe-
cuted at Belleville, ILL.,, on the 30th. The
drop was sprung at 1890. Brown MUIR
dered a peddler named Levigne, a poor
crippled Russian exile, whom he induced
to remain all night in his hut near Cahokia,
on February &c.. His cupidity had been eX-
cited by the display Of the peddler's wares.
He Drained Lavigne with an axe and then
mutilated the body by chopping it into
pieces and burned the head, hands and feet.
and buried what remained. At the trial he
pleaded guilty. Mrs. Mary Brown, his
wife, is indicted also as an accomplish in
the horrible crime. Brown slept a few
hours his last night and ate a hearty break
fast in the morning. Sheriff Ropregit enter
ed the cell at 10 a. m. and read the death
warrant. Brown displayed no emotion,
although his wife, in the cell above, could
be heard sobbing. The procession then
started for the scaffold, where Brown made
a short speech, duplicating Jackson, anoth-
er colored man, who the grand jury failed
to indict, but who had been arrested on the
strength Of one Of Browns so-called con-
fessions. The culprit was then pinioned,
the moose adjusted, the trap sprung and in
eight minutes he was dead.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Collapse of a Cotton Warehouse With
Terrible Results.

-
A Baltimore dispatch of the 3OtI
says: Rooper's building on South Clay
street, filled with cotton, collapsed this
afternoon. Eight persons are known to
have been killed. The building was sup
posed to be one Of the most substantial in
the city, with heavy sidewalks and blue
stone front. 1t has been occupied for sew
eral years by W. E. Hooper 81 Sons, cotton
goods manufacturers, and an immense
stock was stored on the five floors. 1t is
unknown on which floor the break occur
red, as all are down from the front with
forty feet Of the rear. The counting room
is on the first floor, and most Of the
persons were there when the break occur
red. Half of the upper front was thrown
down. The other half is liable to fall at any
moment. The house was built five years
ago. The ground was filled in, having once
been the river shore. The foundation is
said to have settled from the immense
weight Of goods, which is believed to have
caused the calamity. Dugdale & Long,
second floor, and Benjamin Greenwood,
and McLea d Hook, the one beneath. Nc
Lea and his employees were there when the
crash m
Greenwood reached a window and was
rescued without serious injury.
Hook and McLea are still under the de-
bris, the whole of which is filled with gas
from broken pipes.
Mortimer II. Linthicum, cashier for
Hooper d Co., was crushed to death under
a number of barrels.
VIM. H. Corkran, clerk, was caught
under the timbers, but was little injured.
1t has been ascertained that a colored
drayman named Moulton, was in the build
ing at the time OF the collapse and is sup
posed to be in the wreck dead. A young
named Nosh Martin was in the building and
received acompound fracture of the left leg
and was taken to the city hospital. After
midnight a portion of the front wall left
standing was thrown down, so the debris
can be removed.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.
Prospects of the Wheat Crop as Shown by
Wide Correspondence.

The first crop report for the season o
the Miller's National association has BEEF
prepared. The report is complied from
replies sent by over 3, 600 correspondents il
various parts of the country to inquire
made ten days ago by the secretary of th,
association. The report is the most com
plete of any yet published, and may b,
counted as reliable as it is possible to ge
such a one. 1t is collected not for publica'
ton, but solely for the use Of the member
OF the association, who object to giving il
to the press.
1t is hard to say whether it can be
construed as a 'sbear'' report or a 'sbull''
report. Certain it is that from all qusrters
the most f1attering accounts of the condition
OF both winter and spring wheat come, but
the aggregate reports disclose a scarcity OF
wheat in the country that had not been
dreamed Of. They show that in every Sec
ton the mills are short Of wheat instead of
having a surplus stock as in former wears,
and that in these sections the mills will re-
quire all that is raised this year no matter
how large the crop may be. Probably
never before has there been such a general
scarcity of wheat at milling points. This
scarcity among the millers will go far to-
ward reducing the export surplus of this
years. crop. Even if it should be the larg-
est one shown.
Iowa reports the condition of both spring
and winter wheat in twenty-one counties.
Acreage Of spring wheat about 20 per cent.
more than last year; winter wheat acreage
increased about 10 per cent. The present
condition of both winter and spring is re-
ported good from all points. None of the
winter wheat had to be plowed up. The
mills in Carroll and Mitchell counties will
require about half the crop of these coun-
ties, but elsewhere in the state they will
require all and more. The average Weld
OF the state the past five years was 26, $685.
bushels.
Nebraska reports the condition of winter
and spring wheat from sixteen counties;
acreage Of both increased from 10 to Is per
cent IN different localities; present condi-'
ton OF both excellent; outlook for the crop
very good, better than last year. The mills
will require the entire crop. Wheat In this
state has been neglected for three or four
years, but this year most of the farmers
have sown wheat on account of shortage in
the corn crop the past year. Average pro-
of wheat in the state for the past
years, Is, 904, 900 bushels.

CREDIT MOBILIER.
An Answer to the Petition of the Union
Pacific Filed.

Rowland G. Hazard, the stakeholder
upon whose complaint a receiver was ap-
pointed for the Credit Mobilier of America,
has filed in the United States circuit couri
ut Philadelphia, an answer to the petition
Of the Union Pacific railway company fol
the removal of Oliver Ames from the re-
ceivership.
Hazard, in answer, says the Judgment fol
81 1913, 1865 obtained by the Union Pacific
Railway against the Credit Mobilier in New
York courts, upon which proceedings had
been brought to have said Judgment opened,
was not Justly due, and that the Union
Pacific company was necessarily interested
in the suit now pending in Massachusetts,,
brought by the Credit Mobilier to recover
81 600, 900 from the Union Pacific road, as
the latter corporation is successor to the
Credit Mobilier. Hazard denies that Credit
Mobilier is insolvent, but believes it would
be to its best interests If Oliver Ames was
removed from the receivership and a Penn
sylvanian appointed. He agrees with the
statement that Ames has not managed his
trust in the manner that he should.

DEVOURED BY ANIMALS.
A Young Lady Overtaken by Bears while
Mired.

Henry Carson and his daughter Kit
ty lived in a small house in the wilds O.
Wautauga county, half a dozen miles from
any human habitation. Old man Carson
raised enough tobacco and cotton to supply
the household with the absolute necessaries
Of life, and all his spare time he employed
in hunting bears and other small game.
smart girl, a general favorite among the
backwoods SWANS, half a dozen of whom
were always at her feet.
About three weeks ago Kitty suddenly
and mysteriously disappeared, and there
were ugly rumors that she had elOped with
a young storekeeper from Murphy, against
whom 1t was known that the old man Car
son had a grudge. Another rumor was
that she had run away with an Italian who
had been hurt on the Western North Caro-
lima railroad, n who, during his conva-
%lescence, had given the young girl lessons
on the violin.
When the father was asked what had be-
come of his daughter, he preserved an omi-
nous silence. A few days ago Mr.. Carson
was tramping through one Of the great
nameless swamps of the county following
some fresh bear tracks, when in a depres.
sion Of the swamp, whence the water had
but recently receded, he saw the remains
OF a human body, the entire upper half of
which, above the waist, had been eaten
away by wild animals. From the clothing
old man Carson recognized all that was left
of bis child.
He carried the remains to the nearest set
Element. 1t is thought that Miss Kitty be-
came entangled in the mire and was unable
to extricate herself, and that while in this
utterly helpless condition bears attacked
her. All that part Of the body above wa
ter had been gnawed off, and evidence of a
severe struggle were appearant on every
side, the bushes having been torn down
and shreads of clothing scattered about.
The discovery created a great sensation.
The father is thought to be hopelessly in
sane through grief.

AN OFFICIAL IN LIMBO.
Arrest of James ID. Fish. Ex-President of
the Marine Bank.

James d. Fish, the ex-president O.
the New York Marine bank, was arrested
Upon a warrant issued by u. S. Commits
sioner Shields. Fish was arrested at the
Mystic flats, where, it is said, he has beer
hiding. He appeared before the United
States commissioner and pleaded not guilty
to the charge of misapplying for his own
use moneys belonging to an United States
bank, and was released on SIS, 200 bail. The
warrant was issued upon an affidavit made
before COMMISSIONS Shields by Augustus
Serbia, the national bank examiner. He
deposed, after a careful examination, that
Fish had Incorporated funds belonging
to the bank to the mount of 81, 14l 900.
This was done between March list
credits to the firm Of Grant & Ward, Of
sums from $780, 900 to $3.50, 900, at various
dates, and they were entered in the books
OF the bank as loans to imaginary persons
and secured by imaginary collaterals in
stocks n bonds, o of which loans had
ever been made. The transactions were
entirely fictitious. The afidavits assert that
James D.. Fish, as president, caused TO be
paid out money belonging to the National
Banking association to or upon the written
order Of Grant e. Ward, and for the benefit
OF himself and the said Ferdinand Ward,
further sums in excess of all credits of said
firm, amounting to $166, 402. At the time
Of said o%yerdrafts he DANES D. FISH,
well knowing that the firm of Grant & Ward
then unable to pay the sums so over
drawn, and the firm being then indebted
10 the said bank to an amount exceeding
4, 739, 900, the total Indebtedness thus aug
being six times the capital stock Of

Reporters were unable to get any author
zed statement from General Grant or his
counsel regarding the allegations made by
fish, of the Marine bank, that he had let
ers from General Grant assuring him that
he government contracts of Grant & Ward
we're genuine. Friends of the general as
ert that he will show in a day or two Fish's
tatement to be either entirely false or so
distorted as to be worthless.
