DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.
A Passenger Train Thrown from the Track
and Half Dozen Persons Injured.

DEs MONIES, Feb. 23.-News has reached
here of an accident on the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy on Saturday evening, on the Charlton
& Indiana branch. Passenger train No. 81,
bound to Indanola, jumped the track for some
unaccountable reason and plunged over an en-
bankment eight or ten feet high, resulting in Sc
we're injuries to six persons, as follows:
DR.. Todd, of Charlton hurt in the side; Mr..
Vogel, of Keokuk, badly bruised; G. E. Mcdaniel,
of Ottumwa bad scalp wound; Joseph S. Cesford
conductor on the western division of
the Chicago Burlington & Quincy
residing at Vllisca, severe cut in the head; Con-
ductor Averidge, of the wrecked train injured
in the back; Mrs. VanWinkle, OF Oakley, cut
over the eye.
The passenger coach was completely upset,
and the baggage car hurled on its side but the
latter was pulled back on the track and then
plunged over on the other side. One of the
train men ran back to the nearest station and
gave an alarm, and a wrecking train and a
special bearing physicians to the scene were
soon on the way from Charlton The wounded
were properly cared for, and the remainder of
the passengers were brought on to Indianola.

FRANK JAMES AT LIBERTY.
The Cases Against Him in the Missouri Courts
Dismissed by the Prosecutor.

BONNEVILLE, Mo-, Feb. %. Late on Saturday
afternoon the only two charges pending against
Frank James in the Cooper County Circuit Court
were dismissed, and he is a free man. The mat
ter was kept very quiet, and even now is not
generally known Interest is felt here as to
whether Governor Marmaduke will recognize
the requisition from the Governor of Minnesota
for the removal of James to the latter State for
trial there.
The case against the famous outlaw was dock
eted in the Circuit Court for to-day, but was
quietly called up by Prosecuting Attorney
Shackleford on Saturday evening, just at the
close of court. when nobody was present ex-
cepting the officers of the court, the prisoner
and his attorneys Mr. Shackleford stated to
the court that when he procured the re-
moval of James from Alabama to
Missouri he was confident that he
had sufficient evidence to convict him. but since
then his chief witness, Mr. Stapp, of Kansas
had died, and other evidence was missing; in
justice, therefore, to the State and to the de-
fendant, he moved that the charges-one for OBJ
structing railroad, the other for robbery, both
at Otterville-De dismissed. The court granted
the motion in a very few words. There are no
other charges pending against James in this
State, and he is therefore entirely free. After
the prisoner was released he went to his hotel.
fffheafa ne 1f56ceiKsd the e of few
he refused to be interviewed No requisition
for James has yet been made by the Governor OF
Minnesota, and what action Governor Marina
duke would take, should one be received is pure
speculation, he having declined to commit him
self on the question.

General and Personal.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. % John T. Dye, of Indian
apolis. and L. GEMS, of Terre Haute are at the
Ebbitt.
The Republican members from Indiana intend
going home within week after the Inaugural
ton, and the Democratic members will remain
some time, to see whether Cleveland is Dem
ocrat or mugwump," as one of them expressed
it to night.
The sundry civil appropriation bill, as reported
to the House, contains provision appropriating
$50, ,199 to complete the public buildings at
Terre Haute under the present limit; and a
clause authorizes the Secretary of War to sell
the arsenal at Indianapolis. AS this is new leg
slaton, such as the rule of the Senate forbids in
appropriation bills, a point of order will doubt
less be made against it, but Indiana members
who are interested say they believe it will so
through.
The Senate will be convened in special session
almost Immediately after adjournment of the
present Congress, and such time as is not
consumed in consideration of appointments will
be devoted to discussion of the pending treaties.

WARRINGTON, Feb 23.-Cabinet matters are
getting down to fine point, now. But eight
days remain until the time will arrive when
President Cleveland will announce his counsel
ers. 1t is believed that he has his slate about
completed, and that, as a telegram from Albany
to- day states, he isnot likely to change his mind.
A senator who is almost sure to go into the Cab
met is in receipt of letter in Mr.. Cleveland's
own hand, written on Saturday last, which
states that the people who have been so
industriously and kindly assisting in dis
tributing Cabinet honors will be with
out an avocation before the sun goes
down on the Sd of March. He adds: II have not
yet completed my list of counselors, but have
boiled it down to about the proper consistency"
This is interpreted to mean that little remains
to do in that direction 1t is said Mr. Cleveland
intends inviting his prospective Cabinet officers
to the inauguration, and that he will tender
them their positions personally.
Colonel W. F. Villas, of Madison, Wis, has
engaged rooms for himself and wife at the Eb-
bitt and will arrive here on Saturday He is
stated as Cabinet certainty. 1t is generally
believed that Allen G. Thurman, of
Ohio will be given portfolio,
while Senator Lamar, who is at
Albany to-day, is believed to be among those
whose names are inscribed in Cleveland's mem
ory for a CALL Senators Bayard and Garland
are also Cabinet officers in the public mind here
The Navy will probably go to New England,
while Daniel Manning is set down for the Treas
ury.
There has been little mention of Mcdonald to-
day; still, his Indiana Kentucky and other
friends who have labored so we'll for him, have
not abandoned all hope. There is belief among
certain of his friends South that some Hoosier
Democrats will not care very much if he is not
given Cabinet position, since the State would
be entitled to small positions if she has not
a Cabinet portfolio.

Gone with $6o, 900 of Other Peoples Money

BUTLER, Pa, Feb. 23-Edward Vogely, book
keeper of the Butler Savings Bank, has de-
definitely known, but is reported anywhere from
SAC, 900 to 100000. Speculation in OIL through a
New York broker, absorbed the missing funds
which yogely obtained by deceiving the cashier
was discovered on Friday and vogely CON
fessed, promising to assist in Strengthening
the books on Sunday but meantime he disap-
peared, and it is supposed he started for Canada
Vogely was regarded as model young man; be
was member of the Presbyterian Church and a
teacher in the Sunday school. His crime is a
hard blow to his aged father, who being on his
bond for $l00O0 will be ruined financially. A
run on the bank commenced Saturday. To-day
being legal holiday, a large number of the
people were disappointed in not getting their
money. The bank is sod and in the morning
will be able to meet all demands.
