HER SUFFERINGS OVER.
Dea'n OF One OF the Victims OF the Nor.
way Railroad dAccident-Heroi oism
of the Sufferers.
NORWAY, Jan. 10.

NORWAY, Jan. 10.
Miss Katie Williams, who was injured in
the railroad accident, Saturday, after passing
Sunday in raving delirium, gradually sank
away and died shortly after two o'clock, Mon
day morning She was held under the wreck
about twenty minutes before she could be re
iieved, during which time the escaping steam
from the broken water gauge was literslIv
cooked the flesh from her body.
She quietly waited until the enkineer could
pull his pinioned limbs from under their
weight and assist her, her face turned into
the snow to shield her lungs from the hot
steam, but not groan escaped her, only now
and then she said: please put little brandy
in my mouth" or: please put a little ice
in my mouth" Engineer Shaw worked
coolly and swiftly, though it seemed hours to
the anxious bystanders. His own hands were
in the boiling water and steam, knowing that
loss of time was loss of life.
The little sufferer was placed upon a cush-
ion and hurriedly borne to Paris, her home
Medical aid was on the spot, when it was
found no bones were broken, but the right
side of the body was fairly boiled nails gone,
and tina skin coming off in sheets. More
than two-thlrds of her VIII, lie person was
scalded.
The engineer. Mr.. VIM. Shaw, had en-
tirely forgotten himself until his arrival
home, when he gave out. Quietly lying
down, he sent word to the surgeons: cat
tend to the girls first, and then come and see
me" He is now improving rapidly, as is also
Miss Maggie Wilson. The fireman, Mr.
Hodgman, escaped without injury.
How the accident happened may never be
known, but it was doubtless something about
the engine. just before going upon the
trestle work is a switch, and as the machine
passed it, Mr.. Shaw was carefully watching
his drivers, as is his custom at such points.
just at this moment she gave warning of
leaving the track by attempting to "climb
the rail-"
In second she was off, and knowing that
without full head of steam everything must
go into the stream, the engineer pulled the
throttle wide open, and succeeded in showing
across the passenger car and tender, the en-
CINE jumping the trestle just before making
land

BosroN, Jan. 10.
1t is estimated that the loss TO the Bay
StateSugar Refinery, that was gutted BY Sun
day nights fire. will be in the immediate

the owners of the adjoining property includ-
ing the Standard dye works and tenement

surance is divided among l26 companies. The
amount of the policies is for S2500 each. The

COMPLETELY JEW ED.
A Bishop Finds That he Has Been Sold
Bones of No Value as Relics.

MONTREAL, Jan. t9.
Quite a sensation has been caused in the
Catholic circles here, by the announcement
made at high mass yesterday, that a number
relics brought from Rome in 1880, by bish-
op of Montreal, are not genuine, and that his
lordship had been victimz.d by Jewish
relic merchant at the holy city. The bishop
visited Rome in 1880, and returned with what
were believed to be the bones of Claudius
and St. Julian. The bones of Claudius were
presented to the parish of Lachine and those
OF st. Julian to the church of the convent of
St. Anne. Special altars were erected for
the reception of the relics, and amid the great
pomp and ceremony, they were blessed and
sanctified Parts of the bones we're cremated,
the dust sold to the faithful, and the church
was enriched thereby to the extent of many
thousand dollars.

LIQUOR CASES
Brought Into Court by Benjamin Glow
to See Whether Public Bars
should be Tolerated
or Not.
PIIIsFIELn. Maaa Ian lh

PITTsFIELD, Mass, Jan. lf.
The first of the liquor cases was investi-
gated by Benjamin Glow, q prominent prohi-
bitionist, before Judge Tucker, in the district
court this forenoon.
The complaint was against Frank Cassidy,
keeping public bar contrary to the terms of
the license law. Judge Tucker decided that
the complaint, As drawn, was so defective
that the merits of the case could not be con-
sidered.
Glow had new complaint made at once,
and says that he shall keep making complaints
and presenting cases to the court until he gets
decision whether or not public bars are to
be tolerated. If bars are not lawful, he will
prosecute every liquor seller in town. If all
complaints are dismissed he will surrender.
He intends to test every prohibitory feature
of the license law.

OUR INDIANS.
Annual Report Of the Commissioner Of
Indian fairs.


The annual report of the commissioner Of
Indian affairs, for the year l8s4,is now before
the public, also an appeal from the "execu-
tive committee of the Indian Rights Associa-
tion"-bssed on this report and on the failure
of Hon. John Ellis, chairman of the sub-com-
mittee of the House on Indian appropriations,
to supply the deficiency in season for the
relief of the Montana Indians. Out of one
tribe of 2200 Indians in Montana, 400 died of
starvation, because the United States did not
furnish therI the supplies which had been
solemnly promised as part of the price of
their lands.
At another station. tribe would have
starved, had not the Indians, under pressure
of famine, purchased food from a garrison of
600 soldiers, by bringing their wives and
daughters to white men for base purposes.
These Indians have ceased TO be formida-
BILE, they are helpless wards of the United
States government Their case appeals to
every feeling of justice and humanity in the
country.
When Mr.. Stanton was secretary of war, he
said to committee who went to him, asking
attention TO the evils of our Indian policy, al
you come to Washington to tell us that our
Indian system is a sink of iDquity, and dis
grace to the nation, we all know it. But this
government never reforms an evil until the
people demand it."
There are in the United States FIVE civi-
lized tribes, and POO, 900 wards Of the govern
ment. OF the civilized tribes, it may be
said that they live in houses, raise their own
grain, own their own horses and cattle, send
their children to school, and 90 to church on
Sundays, as severe a test of civilization as
many white people can bear. This should
certainly qualify them to hold the title TO
their farms. Of these, it was recently
remarked by person familiar
with them, that they live in constant terror
lest they should be forced to leave their
homes-removed by the government to new
territory. The Indians shonld have Justice.
The laws in existence to that end should be
enforced honestly and without evasion. They
should have land in severalty, citizenship,

The Decline Of Dueling i'm the South
From the Charleston News

The Decline OF DueIing i'm the South.
From the Charleston News
The Savannah Ne,os bears encouraging testi.
mony to the change that has taken place in
public sentiment of late years on the subject of
dueling. "Public opinion" says the Ne,ps,
overwhelmingly condemns dueling, and the
number of those who advocate or defend this
relic of barbarisn Is constantly decreasing.
The time when men tried their causes by the
ordeal of battle, or by walking over red-hOt
ploughshares, has long since passed away, and
dueling will soon be among the customs OF the
past In all intelligent countries. The idea Of
turning question of veracity, or any kind Of
dispute or snarl, into question Of courage can.
not long survive In this age of progress and com.
mon sense. About the only question q duel
can settle Is the fact that the participants In It
have less regard for the enlightened christian
sentiment Of the day than for the promptings Of
misguided aud foolish PRIDE"
1t Is now felony in Georgia, as 1t is in nearly
every other state In the Union, to send or re-
celve challenge or to aid in any manner in .
Duel, and the man who kills another in a duel
fact
There is no reason why the dueling class
alone In this country should ever have been al-
lowed to make laws for themselves in re-
gard TO homicide among themselves, and the
changed condition of affairs as respects duel
Ing amounts TO nothing more, at feast, than
the stripping Of one class Of manslayers Of q
remarkable privilege too long accorded them,
ana placing them on the same footing with
other men who thirst for the blood Of their
neighbour
