A DAsTARDLY DEED.

An Engine Thrown From the Track by an
Obstruction Placed In a Frog Kills Two
Persons
WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. IA most das-
tardly outrage was perpetrsted by some un-
known villain near Grafton, w. Va, last
night, causing a wreck on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad by which two men lost their
lives and a number of others narrowly
escaped. A bar of iron was wedged
in the frog of switch in
such a way that an engine passing
over il would leave the track. 1t is thought
the obstruction was laid with a view to
wrecking the ST. Louis express, due at Graf
ton from the east at l0:45 p. m. The train
was an hour late. and when the engine struck
the obstruction it was thrown from the rails
and turned upside down on the opposite
track, and postal car thrown down the
bask into the creek. Collin Hepburn. the en-
giDesr, was instantly killed hisneck and one
leg were broken, and the other leg crashed.
He leaves family at Bloomington, Md.
Thomas Dorsey, fireman, vas caught beneath
the engine, and besides broken bones and
bruises was badly scalded. one siGe being
literally cooked by escaping steam. He
lived several hours. His home is at Keyser.
He leaves wife and three children. No
one else was injured. Postal
Clerk Mcintyre was burned, but
succeeded in extinguishin the lights
in his car before il turned over, thus saving
himself from possible injury by fire. The
damage to the compaDy's property will
amount TO several thousand dollars. No
clue to the perpetrators of the crime.
A train from Wheeling to Pittsburg, on
the B. and o., struck q large boulder nesr
West Alexander last night and was dersile I.
and engine and several cars demolished.
Traffic was delayed all day.

Victims Of the Tug ExpIosion.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The corpse of Captain
Green. of the tug Admiral, blown to pieces
on the river last night, was found
to day in lumber yard near
the scene of the explosion. The body
was thrown 200 feet, divested of clothing,
the left leg broken, and the head nearly
severed from the body. The remains of
Engineer Hogan are still missing, and up to
late hour no trace has been dis
covered CT the two men who,
besides the crew, we're stated

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.

1t VIII Probably Cause a Good Deal OF
Discussion in the House Before Long.
Special to the sentinel
WASHINGTON, Jan. LIT seems probable
that the Blair Educational bill will make a
good deal Of stir in the House pretty soon.
1t distributes about $50 900, 600 in proportion
to illiteracy to the se7ersl States and terri
tories for educational purposes. The Senate
passed the bill by q very decided majority,
but almost the entire South oppose It in the
House. S0utherners oppose il on the ground
that ii looks toward Capitalization, and that
inasmuch as the South 10 able and wiliiOg 10
educate its own people, Of al colors and
classes, 1t does not want to take moHey out

cans, and few Northern Democrats. too.
sEv the reason Why the South is opposed {
the measure is that it anticipates the educ
tion of the negro and the South doesu
want to shoulder such an accusation.
Probably the debates will take someWhs
OF q sectional form before they ere ali over
and il may be that the final vote will be a
party Ole. In that event the bill viii be
defeated. Bat the sectional line viii
have TO be drawn finely and often
sivejy, because a strict party vote viii

members nom the Vuginias are split up on
the question, while number have commit,

affords broad feld for q fiery debate, and

Talk About whisky Extension in Bono
Special to the Sentinel.


Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Parties representing
the whisky interests here take good deal
of encouragement from the decisions
of the Attorney General and Secre-
tary of the Treasury on the sub
jsct of tax on stock IN bond.
They believe these decisions will have
good influence upon proposed legislation.
Next winter it is intended that another
effort will be made for an extension of the
bonded period. in the event Mr.. Randalls
proposition fails to abolish the whole
revenue system. The late decisions
OF these two officers, giving practically
on extension OF several months to those who
propose exporting is intended as an indorse
ment OF the proposition to grant an extsn-
sion or loan of the money tax for period
of two years. Whisky matters are effer-
vescing here st present.
