ZANEsviLLE. Ohio, Oct 81.
In the Circuit Court at woodsfeld, Guern-
ses county, David Conger. who was convicted
of murder in the second degree for killing
his wife in June last, was sentenced Yesterday
to the penitentiary for life. The murder
was most brutal one, he killing his young
wife with axe because she interfered in be-
half of a six year-old son whom he was
beating cruelty. From the moment, of
his incarceration until the last words that
dropped from the judges l.p. had sealed his
doom, the wretch had not spoken word or
made an audible noise with his toague.
Feigning insanity he played the deaf and
dumb act successfully for more than four
months. All efforts of the officers to make
him speak were without effect Even se-
we're shock from an electric battery which
was applied in the hope of looseaing his
tongue, only made him squirm with pain.
Throughout the trial he has been immovable
ana when the sentence was about to be pro.
nouRced the officers had to lift him to his
feet. The words of the ninety nine years
sentence had hardly echoed through the court
room when the mysterious criminal, who had
so long renamed apparently dumb, yelled out
an avalanche OF oaths at the court, and turn
ing to the crowd said: IL have got more sand
and backbone than any of you and if you can
stand it can, too" lie was quickly hurried
from the court room and landed in his cell but

went ahead and opened the switch. The re-
suit was that a few minutes later the express
ran in on the switch and crashed into the
freight The engines are almost totally de-
molished, and several of the freight cars were
telescoped Both trains were thrown from
the track and there was scene of great con-
fusion. Engineer Spaulding of the express
saw the inevitable just in time to reverse his
engine He then jumped for his life. The
fireman, whose name is unknown, ESCAPED

guard, ard was seriously injured. The engi-
neer and fireman of the freight had time to
escape The passengers on the express, most
of whom were sleeping, were thrown roughly
about, and all were badly scared. Strange
to saw, no one was hurt. Yarnell, the brake
man who caused it, ran back to the depot and
reported the accident. He said he was asleep
when he opened the switch. and did not know
what he was doing. The loss is about S4O,-

TIE VIRGINIA FLOODS,
Railroad Wa>hOuts-Many Barges Sunk
in the kanaWha River.

LYNCHBURG, Va, Oct 81.
On account of the heavy washouts on the
railroads connecting here, this city is almost
isolated from the outer world. No northern
mails have been received here for three days.
Business is suffering in consequence.
A Charleston, w. Va, dispatch SAYS: At
about o'clock this morning the Kanawha
river began rising very rapidly. With the
rise about 80 barges loaded with coal, owned
by various collieries above the city, were
swept away. A large feet of loaded barges
lying along the bank of the river here shared
the same fate. About half a million bushels
of coal were lost. Many barges lay at the
bottom Of the river. 1t is difficult to tell the
actual loss rs a number of places up the
river among the colier}es have not been
heard from. The destruction to property
will amount to nearly Sl50,000. The river
is l3 feet, and rising one foot per hour.

BETRAYED HIS TRUST.
The Fitchburg Railroad Company Vic.
timized by an Employe.

BosToN, Oct. 81.
The officials connected with the Fitchburg
railroad on Friday made the rather startling
discovery that one of their clerks and collec-
tors, Harry r. Davis, was a defaulter to an
amount between $4,000 and 500 900. The
management of the road have been rather
Suspicious OF Davis for some time past. and
when he failed to put in an appearance at the
office General Traffic Agent Wetmore was
set to work looking over Davis books. 1t
was soon discovered that Davis was a de-
faulter. Only a cursOry examination of the
books kept by him was made. This, upon
an estimate, showed that between $4,000
and 500, 900 had been appropriated by him.
Davis has been employed as collector in the
freight department of the road for Ave or six
years, and was one of the most trusted and
esteemed of the employees. He is a married
man and lives with his family at No. All
Main street. Charlestown district He WAS
last seen Friday noon. He has friends and
relatives in Vermont, and it is thought he has
gone in that direction with the idea Of CON-
tinuing to Canada. The following descrip-
ton of Davis is given with the hope that it
may lead to his detection: He is about SO
years of age, feet 10 inches in height, fair
complexion, heavy brown mustache, weighs
about ITO pousds. and when last seen was
dressed in q blue chinchila REFER, gray
pantaloons and vest and round black derby
hat He has false left arm, and the shoul-
der on that side droops considerably.
BosTON, Nov. l.
Henry R. Davis, the Fitchburg railroad
collector, charged with embezzlement sur
rendered himself to the police today and also
turned over to them 500 in money and a
check for $ll0. He said he was so dumb
founded at the charges made against, which
was first read in the newspapers, that he took
to drinking and has been under the influence
of liquor ever since. He denies the charge
of embezzement and says his accounts will
be found entirely correct.

New YORK, Oct. 81

New YORK, Oct. 81.
In speech to his men this afternoon, an
nouncing the signing of an agreement between
the proprietor of the Tribune and Typo
graphical Union No. 6, Mr.. Rieo thanked
them Tor their conduct to their employer dur
ing the long struggle. and said that in con-
.ideration of their splendid loyalty he should
do more than the union asked, or he had
agreed to do, year ago. He therefore ad-
vanced the price for piece composition above
the union scale to Al cents per 1000. Over
one half of the Trbune's printers are Demo
Gratis, politics not being allowed to interfere
with its relations to its employees. 1t is said
that the Typographical union apprehends a
general movement among the other news
papers for a reduction to 40 cents per 1000,
and this was their reason for accepting terms
which they rejected year ago, and being
willing now to adjust their difficulties with
the Tribune on the basis of its remaining a
non-union office.

THE WARNER BILL.
Congressman Warner Gives the Chicago
Commercial Club a Full Statement OF
His Views.
CHICAGO. Nov I

CHICAGO. Nov l.
After the regular monthly banquet of the
Chicago Commercial Club last night the
Warner bill" was discussed. Congressman
A. j. Warner. who had been invited to be
present, was absent, but he sent full state
ment OF his views. Mr.. Warner hell that
silver at this time presented tw distinct phases
First, the movement to practically demone-
tize silver BY excluding the product of silver
mines from the money supply in the future
and reducing the existing coin,s to the con-
dition OF subsidiary money, and second, the
fact being recognized that there has been
disturbance in the relative value of gold and
silver so that neither European coinage of
l53, nor our ratio of l6 to any longer rep
resents the commercial relation between
them, the question arises, is il proper to read
just the monetary use of these two metals to
their commercial rates, and if so, how can
this best be done? This, he said, was the
phase of the question in which bimetslists
are called upon to consider. 1t was with view
to such adjustment. the writer says, that he
submitted plan some time ago rolmake use of
silver as money, and conform, through paper
representatives to the actual commercial ratio
between the two metals throughout the
world, and he announced at the outset that
the main object of his recent paper was
to reply to the criticisms on the proposed bill,
and to explain more fully some of its pro-
visions, He said that much of the opposition
to the Bland act, as shown by recent dis
cussions through the press, manifestly arose
from the Continuance of silver as money un-
der any condition, and he asserted that the
absolute repeal Of the Bland act would be
the last Of silver.
No one need be told that if the mint de.
mand for So 900, 900 worth per month is shut
of that silver would fall. How far it would
fall no one could tell. To repeal the Bland
act and put the Upited States on the side of
the gold standard countries, and England to
protect the rupee from the fall that must
otherwise ensue, following the example of
the Latin Union after silver was demonetized
in Germany, would close the mints of Cal
cutta and Bombay. What would then be the
bullion value of the silver dollar, as measur-
ed with gold, no one could say. At any rate
the end would be such a separation of the
two metals that they could never hope to see
them again united as equal money metals.
