The War of Prosecution Continues

ATcHIsoN, KS, April 1.-The liquor
prosecutions continued during last week

grows greater hour by hour. So far but
two jurors have been secured out of ono
hundred business men and citizens sum-
moned by the constable to test their
qualifications, all being excused for hav-
ing formed an opinion. The two ju.
rors chosen have been alone &C.

the excitement, papers in quo warranto
proceedings OF the state of Kansas
against the city Of Atchison were placed
in the hands of Sheriff Hargrave to-day
and served upon Mayor Burnes, the N
swer made returnable to the supreme
court April 3. This is to prevent the city
government from collecting the special
license tax imposed on saloon.keepers,
which permits their selling soda and min.
eral waters and other drinks. As the
oity's main revenue comes from this
source, having some forty five saloons,

derbilt, for a limited divorce, submitted
to Judge Lawrence on Friday an afida.

about 3 o'clock next morning, when they

MI. Allen was watched were not detec

Who Osnan Digma Is.

SuAkim Cor. London Times.
Osman's Digma's whole relation to the
revolt and the a~malgamation in him of
religious, political, and mercantile aspira-
tions are hard to comprehend. A broker
and trader, and principally q slave trader
in Suakim and Jeddah, he received a Sc
we're financial blow, when, some, six
years ago, a British cruiser captured two
slave-dhows full of victims, on the way
to Jeddah. Osman Digma's trade then
fell from bad to worse, his house proper
ty in Suakim was all mortgaged, and he
became hopelessly involved. Being Of
no great distinction by birth, his selec-
ton by the medhi to lead a religious re-
bellion in these parts is not in accordance
with the structure of Arab society and
feeling, and is attributed to the accident
that Osman Digma, in one of his incur
sions far south for slaves, met the medhi,
who formed a high estimate of his ability
and of his influence, acquired through
successful trading.
If this history be trustworthy, passions
for other objects than holiness are the
keynote of Osman Digma's character and
motives, and it is against all probat ility
that he will cast his goods and his posi-
ton into the broken balance of battle.
He is no ignorant fanatic, and he can not
himself believe the ,nytls which he null
tiplies in order to control his followers.

Both Houses Adjourn Sine DIE M

Der of Measures Lost and Won
Hilarious Finish.

DIES MorNKs, April 2.-In the senate
the session was devoted to considering
house messages, the witnessing of the
signing of bills by the president, and the
adoption of complimentary resolutions to
the officers of the senate. The bill APP
~propriating 81, 500 for the education of
Kate Shelly was lost. A bill passed Civ

and second class cities. A bill was
passed establishing the terms of the Pot

appropriating $4,000 toward establish
ing a soldiers home, when the same shall
be located in Iowa by congress.
The clock was stopped at ten minutes
before IL, and when the house committee
announced that that body was ready to
adjourn, and the work Of the senate was
completed, prayer was offered by Senator
Marshall, and at ten minutes past l by
actual time and one minute past IL by

clared the senate adjourned sine die.
In the house the bill passed appropriate

ness that always characterize the last
night and day of the general assembly.
Ten minutes before the final adjourn
ment was devoted to good.by and
speeches, in which Messrs. Weaver, Dab
ney, Merrill, Russell, Kerr and others
distinguished themselves by some fine
flights of oratory. The house also voted
to the speaker and chief clerk the chairs
they have used during the session. The

Funeral of the Favorite Prince HIS
Manly aud Moral Character.

CANNES, April 1.-The Prince OF
Wales and forty distinguished persons
were present at the funeral services OF
the Duke of Albany. The train contain.
ing the body started for Cherbourg with
military honors and salutes from guns.
The London journals devote eight col
umns apiece to accounts of Albany's life
and death and the demonstrations of
public grief Astounding in details, which
are really interesting to the English peo.
pie with whom he was more popular than
any other of the queens som excepting
perhaps the Prince of Wales. Prince
Leopold is generally believed to have led
an orderly and studious life. He was
liked at Oxford and was a thor.
oughly capable man. He was will
ling to make good speeches whenever
he vas asked, He evinced interest in
art and was valued for his literary cul-
ture, and his sympathy with those about
and below him in rank. He was a good
landlord ON a small scale and an easy
master. His marriage with the Princess
Helena of Waldeck being understood to
be a love.match, further endeared him tc
domestic people, who have rejoiced since
the ceremony in the absence of scandal
about their favorite. A recent letter
from Cannes said that he was never in
better health, but his physicians have
always known that death was possible at
any moment from %congenital weakness of
the blood-vessels of the skin.
His death upsets all special arrange.
ments, postpones the marriage of
the queens granddaughter, and prevents
the queens journey, which was fixed for
Monday week. 1t also cancels diplo-
matte and many other dinner parties.
1t called the prince of Wales away from
the races at Liverpool, where he had just
witnessed the defeat of his horse, the
f~avorite for the grand national steeple-
chase. 1t throws this and nearly every
foreign capital into official mourning.
Sympathy with the duchess of Albany
and the queen is universal. There is
some anxiety respecting the effect of the
news upon the queens health, which is
always sensitive to calamities.

the life of q car wheel was estimated at
eight years, but the reduction of the rail-
roads generally to the standard gauge,
and the improvements in loading and
unloading facilities have materially de-
creased the length of service that a
wheel may be depended upon to perform.
The uniformity in gauge keeps cars in
more continuous use, while the decrease
in time of loading and unloading enables
them to be put to more active service
even where they are run only on short
local routes
THESE figures do not include the
wheels on palace coaches and the better
class of passenger coaches. The wheels
ON that grade of rolling stock are now
made almost exclusively of paper. They
are as serviceable as iron, and combine
lightness with strength, a great desidera-
tum where speed and economy in motive
power are of paramount Importance"

A RUNAWAY TRAIN
A Wild Trip Of 100 Miles In Two
Hour and a Half Without
an Engine.
lincoln Journal.

Lincoln journal.
An incident which we believe has never
had a parallel in railroad history occurred
on last Thursday on the b. g. NJ. railroad
between this city and Denver. Were it
not that the story ZONES from the most
reliable source, we would unhesitatingly
pronounce it canard. But We have it
from a source which Is a guarantee of it's
correctness. At any rate, it is q matter
of record and can easily DO verified il
true and disprovsn if it is false.
1t will be remembered that on Thurs
day there was a wind which amounted al
most to a tornado here and was worse
west of us. At Akren it unrcofed the
round house and did some other damage.
About D o'clock in the evening, when the
nj was at its strongest, 1t started a
train of eight bcx cars, loaded with coal,
that were standing on the aide track at
that place. Two brakes we're set, but
they were not enough to hold it, and it
ran through the split switch without be-
ing derailed, and started east.
The track was nearly level where the
train started, but there is down grade
this side of Akron. The wind was 30
strong that it took the train more rapidly
than the passenger trains over the line
move, even IN the level track, and when
it reached a down grade of course the
speed became something fearful.
The operator at Akron noticed the run
away train soon after it broke loose, and
sent the alarm down the line. Every
thing was ordered side-tracked, aud the
crazy train had the right of a The
Cannon ball train, going toward Akron,
was only two stations away when the
message to side track came, and it had
only been on tho side track a short time,
~variously estimated at from two to FIVE
minutes, when the engineless train came
laundering along.
Marvellous as it may seem, those run
away cars ran n hundred miles, passing
eight stations over q track which is for o
great part of the distance almost level,
with no propelling power but the wind
and their w inertia. They ran the 100
miles in less than three hours, and sta
ton agents and others who witnessed the
strange train held their breath with W
as it whirled by at the rate of nearly a
mile a minute. 1t passed Haiger at the
rate of forty miles an hour and is said to
have run the twenty miles of down grade
this side of Akron in eight. en- minutes.
At Benkleman, 90 miles this side of
Akron, a freight was standing on the
side track. As the runaway train passed
the engineer ran his engine out with a
brakeman on the tender to make the
coupling, and gave chase. 1t was an ex-
citing chase, but the engine, which
brought to the aid of the wind the power
in the steam chests, soon closed the gap
between itself and the flying train.
About half way between Benkleman and
Max the fugitive was overtaken, the
coupling successfully made, and the cars,
after pulling the engine some distance,
brought to q standstill.
1t was certainly a remarkable runaway,
and we do not believe the annals of any
railroad will show q parallel to to it.

The Slick Cow boy.

'Train Talk" in Chicago Herald.
"One of the slickest things l saw in
my travels" said a passenger from the
west, "was scowboy stopping a cattle
stampede. A herd Of about six or eight
hundred had got frightened at
something aud broke away pell-mell
with their tails in the air and the bulls al
the head of the procession. But Mr..
Cowboy didn't get excited at all when he
saw the herd was going straight for a
high bluff, where they would GER
tainly tumble down into the canon
and be killed. You know that when q
herd like that gets to going they can't
stop, no matter whether they rush to
death or not. Those in the rear crowd
those ahead, and away they go. |
wouldn't have given a dollar a head for
that herd, but the cowboy spurred up his
mustang, made a little detour, came in
right in front of the herd, cut across their
path at a right angle, and then galloped
leisurely on to the edge of that bluff

mass Of beef coming right toward him.

vANDERBILT's BARBER-sHop.
With Something About a Man Known
as the Best Barber in New York,

Atlanta Constitution.
Most of the socialists in this city are
Germans. The socialists believe in the
assassination of monarchs. Our Ameri.
can monarchs are m~illionaires. William
II. Vanderbilt is dospotic by two hun
dred millions. Still, he let's a German
draw a keen blade over his throat every
day. There is q quaint and jolly old Ger
man, with a huge red nose, q perfectly
bald head, and an immense mustache
waxed at the ends, who may be seen any
morning of the year going down Fifth
avenue with the march of q dissipated
Prussian grenadier and the smile of a
happy infant. He is gentleness itself.
Everybody who knows him calls him
Jakey, but he owns the full name of
Jacob Aber. Every morning about Q
o'clock he stops at the magnificent resi-.
dence of William ii. Vanderbilt, greets
the servant who opens the door blandly,
and goes at met to Mr.. Vanderbilt's bar
ber.shop.
SO much has been written about his
house that it seems hardly as though
anything new could be told, but many
changes take place, and in the south
wing, adjoining Mr.. Vanderbilt's dress
ing.room, there has been fitted up a
barber shop. 1t is small, and in the
middle of it Is a BARRIERS chair, made of
dark mahoga ny and inlaid with mother
of-pearl. The base-boards of the room,
the cornices, and the door and window
frames are of the same shade of mahog-
any, and the mother-of pearl decorations

chair. The chair is of the regu-
lation barber shop pattern. Old
Jakey shaves the two hundred mill :
i%onaire, and then drifts down the avenue,
nodding gracefully to stage drivers, and
giving the occasional policeman whom he
meets the 9th regiment salute. He shavcs
several other wealthy men on his way
down, and finally ends with Commodore
Garrison, on Park avenue. Then he
goes back to his humble home in the
lower Bowery and smokes a strong Ger
man pipe and plays penuckle with his
wife until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Then
he wanders up town again and visits one
or two old gentlemen who prefer to be
shaved before dinner rather than
in the morning. He returns again to
the Bowery, goes to a ~favorite lager beer
saloon in Roosevelt street, and sits in
one particular chair and at one particu
lar table every night until IL o'clock.
Then he stalks of to bed. He is close
to 60 years of age, and liz said to be the
hest barber in New York. He gets his
own prices for his work, and probably
has older customers than any other bar
Der in the world. He shaved Fernando
