An instance OF most remarkable nerve
and endurance is reported from the
Susquehanna division of the New York.
Lake Erie and Western railway. While
freight train on that division was an
preaching Elmira. brakeman named
DANIEL Thomas was missed. Two men
and locomotive were sent back to
look for him, rs he had evidently
iallen from the train. A mile this side
or Seeley creek bridge they met
Thomas walking toward Elmira. on
the east-bound track His clothing
was nearly all torn from his body, and
he was covered with blood. His right
arm had been cut off at the shoulder
by the car-wheels and Thomas was
carrying the severed member in his
left hand, which was clasped about
the fingers of the severed hand. His
collar-bon was broken in two places.
four ribs were fractured. his head was
badly cut, and he was terribly bruised.
lie had been thrown from car bv n
sudden lurch of the train. He said that
us soon rs he could recover himself
after the train had passed over his arm
he regained his feet, hunted up his
arm, and started up the track, hoping
to meet with help. He had walked
nearly mile, when he was met by the
locomotive. Notwithstanding his ter
riblc injuries, Thomas never lost con-
sci0usness. He was taken to a doc.
tors office in Elmira, where he was
given all the aid possible. Notwith-
standing his wonderful nerve, it is
feared that his wounds will result
fatally.

Mysterious Disappearance.

WHEELING, Wa, Dec. This morning
before daybreak Miss Rebeeca Stewart left
the house Of her uncle Wm. Stewart, and no
trace has been found of her. II is supposed
that, being temporarily insane she drowned
herself in the Ohio river. This afternoon
while the river was being dragged as well as
the heavy wind aud rising river would allow,
John McMasters was drowned by the upset
ting of skin. He was boss weighman at
the Aetna mill, and leaves family. Miss
Stewart was aged forty-five and has been
mucn depressed since the recent desth of an
aunt. Only few clothes were missing
from her wardrobe. During the past twenty
four hours very heavy wind storm has pre-
vailed in this section, interfering somewhat
with the wires and doing slight damage.

combination against it. A conference
will take place tomorrow between
Mr.. Carlisle, Mr.. Ellis, Of Louisiana, and
three or four other Democratic leaders, at

A Synopsis of the bankruptcy Bill.

l-PN~-@- ~ tic 6ACDc.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE bankruptcy
bill passed the senate April 20, 1884. 1t was
reported back from the house judiciary COM
mittee and placed upon the calendar March
8. Collins, Of the house judiciary committee,
who has it in charge, moved at the last ses-
sion to secure a special day for its consider
alton, but the motion did not prevail. The
following is synopsis Of the bill:
The bill as passed constitutes the several
district courts Of the United States aud of
the territories, aud the supreme court Of the
District of Columbia, courts of bankruptcy
with jurisdiction of all questions of claims,
assets, exemption, composition AMI dis
charge. For the purpose of bankruptcy the
courts shall be always open, as well in vaca-
ton as in term time, and when the district
judge from any cause is unable to act the
circuit judge may do so. On the application
Of any person interested the district Judge
may certify any question Of law
involved to the United States circuit
court, which is given general superintend-
ency and jurisdiction of all bankruptcy pro-
ceedings, aud the decision of the circuit
court shall not be reviewed by the supreme
court Of the United States, except upon
certificate of disagreement between the two
circuit justices. The circuit court shall ap-
point within each judicial district such num-
Der Of commissioners in bankruptcy as may
be necessary, not exceeding in any state the
number of members of congress to
which the state is entitled, each commits
sioner TO give bonds in the
sum of $1,000 for the faithful
performance of his duties. He is given all
powers of the master in chancery, and may
represent and act for the judge in holding
meetings and conducting business specially
committed TO him. The circuit court shall
appoint supervisor in bankruptcy for each
judicial circuit, who shall personally examine
into the administration of all bankruptcy pro
ceedings in his circuit, call the attention of the
commissioners, clerks and trustees to mat
tiers which would facilitate speedy and eco
nomical settlements, and move
the court for action against de-
linquent trustees. He shall visit
and inspect the Office and business Of every
commissioner and clerk In his circuit as
often as once in every six months, and make
reports TO the circuit court. The supervisors

Judge Thompson interviewed on the Stu
alton.

Especial Telegram TO the. Globe
CHICAGO, Dee. Judge j. L. Thompson.
of Albany, n. Y, was in the city yesterday,
and a reporter OF the Times had q converse
tiou with him relative to thugs polilical in
and about the capital, and the state generally.
He has met the president-elect daily, and
says that Cleveland is winning golden opin-
ions from all classes except the ubiquitous
| office-seekers, the latter finding but little
| consolation either in his words or actions.
He has that rarest of faculties,
the self-control that keeps him evenly bal
anced and unostentatious under circnm-
stances that would throw most men of their
poise. His few utterances have been iudicious
and reassuring, and the business element
has taken much comfort from his evident
ambition and determination to win to their
industries the elements of stability that a
change of administration seems to threaten.
1t is believed that he will throw the weight
of his influence against the radicals
of the party which it represents, as
far at least as to hinder them
from making any hazardous experiments.
As these inferences were drawn from the few
things that he has said, and his nearest
friends entertain the same opinion as to his
future policy, it may be taken for granted
that it may be as outlined. His greatest
danger lies in the assault that VIII be made
upon him, and the pressure he viii have to
stand from that class of patriots whose idea
of victory does not rise above the amount of
spoils involved. Hardly had day
elapsed after the final triumph was
assured, before they commenced a
pilgrimage to Albany ostensibly to congratu-
late him, but really for the more selfish mo-
tive of securing some sort of recognition.
But few, however, have been so fortunate
as to secure any promises. Mr.. Cleveland
keeps himself free from ENHANCEMENT, treats
them all courteously and indicates to the
most Of them that there will be plenty OF
time to consider all matters relating to
patronage after he shall have been inaugur-
ated.
The visit of Mr.. Hendricks to Albany
occasioned much comment. Not from what
did, but what did not take place. 1t was
natural that, with perfect confidence between
the two, consultation should have been
had, discussion as TO the policy of the COM
ing administration entered into and that Mr.
Cleveland would at least have extended the
hospitalities of the executive mansion, and
invited his second to remain a day or two.
Instead of this but few moments elapsed
after his arrival before his departure,
and deny it as he may, he went away! very
much disgruntled. This is taken to be as
very significant on one point, and that is
that the mossbacks and hardshells are going to
have but little influence with the president
elect. 1t is whispered that there viii be some
grand surprises when the names of those Sc
lected for the cabinet appear. 1t is whispered
that vanity enters largely into Cleveland's
composition, and that he has no
desire to surround himself with
the famous men Of the party. With
Thurman as secretary Of state, nobody would

Congressman MIIIken Casting Blaine
special Telegram to the Globe,

Special Telegram 70 the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Congressman Mil
liken, Of Maine, has been talking in q very
interesting manner about Mr.. Blaine. He
says:
'Mr. Blaine is out Of public life now,
though Of course it cannot be said that popu-
lar sentiment may not throw him into it
again. Mr.. Blaine has natural instincts for
making money, Of which fact the public is
already convinced. He has love Of litera-
ture, which will induce him to
occupy the most of his time in literary pur-
suits. He viii go right to work upon the
last volume OF his twenty years in congress,
aud in his enthusiasm be will forget all
about the campaign. When that work is
completed he will probably spend some time
abroad, and after that be has an idea of
writing books, among which will be a his
tory Of the war OF 1912. These things will
keep him busy for the next four years, aud
by that time he will know what further he
will dos
Mr.. Milliken viii not attempt to cast Mr.
Blaine's horoscope beyond the year 1855.
Mr.. Milliken then presents Mr.. Blaine to the
public as an unsophisticated person, intel
lectual, brilliant, but Ike so many great
authors, unacquainted with practical politics.
He says that the public has an erroneous idea
that Mr.. Blaine is politician. This, he says,
is far from a fact. Mr.. Blaine is
good worker and brilliant
man, no matter what be is doing, but he is
no politician. This, be says, was amply
demonstrated throughout the campaign. He
showed the ability OF an orator and a states
man, but never the shrewdness Of a politi-
clan. There were several things suggested
10 him which would have secured his election
had they been acted upon, he paid
no attention to them, and left all to the CON-
mittee. One of these things was TO go to Mr.
Arthur ank secure the earnest and active sup
port of the administration. Another thing was
st. John. He should have been bought of. If
it took half the money in the campaign
treasury. Then John Kelly should have
been fixed. This last could have been
easily effected If the administration had
taken the matter in hand. Mr.. Blaine,
In the act of going TO ''that man
Arthur" and begging his help, would
have been almost as picturesque as the spec
tacle Of the ad ministration, that is Mr.
