AT HURON.
The Day Before the Battle.
Gs1r-

Sioux City Journal.
Huron. Oct. 19.-Alexandria' delega-
tion to the state convention, which
meets here Wednesday afternoon, arrlv-
ed last night, the first on the field of
battle. The delegates from Pierre and
Miner county came next, to-day. Those
from Yankton and Mitchell are expect
ed via Wolsey tonight. Alexandra
wants to be the temporary capital.
Pierre wants the temporary and perma-
nent capital, and. congressman and
q senator. Single delegates are arriving
on every train, forerunners of the 266
who compose the convention.
The tone of all is that every thing has
thus far been done decently and in
order, and so must continue to the end,
hence will insist on clean, straight men
being nominated for the entire ticket
From the little that can be gathered it
is evident Kanouse has large number
of friends for governor, and fully as
many as Mlllette, these two being the
only names canvaesed. If Millette Is
not nominated Chas. G.. Williams stands
strong chance for the congressional
nomination. Having been member of
that body ten Years many regard him as
very fit person TO place the claims Of
Dakota for statehood before congress.
Editor French, of the Free Trade
Democrat, and Dean, of the Huron Her
aid, desire it stated that much lndlgna-
tion is being felt by the democrats of
central Dakota over the unwar
fn1 ~ -:
democratic committee in as
what position it should take on the con-
stitution question. He also says little
respect will be shown to the advice of
the committee, whose only service thus
far, has been to recommend each other
for Offices. Advices from all parts of
central Dakota indicate strong enthu-
siasm over the convention. The demo.
Gratis meet here next Wednesday. &C
cording to call. Many leading demo.
crats opposing the statehood movement
are expected, and they will then decide
what course they will pursue to defeat
the movement.
| ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SITUATION.
Huron, Oct. 19-The situation as de.
veloped this evening indicates that
Huron and Watertown are working to.
gether, Huron for capital support and
Watertown for Mellette for
governor. Other supporters OF
Mellette don't like the deal
and are inclined to kick. The resul,
may defeat Mellette. The capital deal
enters into all schemes and will make a
combination naming the winning ticket
Kanonse does not show very strong
following as yet, but his supporters are
earnest and active. Pettigrew's outside
friends hotly resent the attitude of Sioux
Falls and will endeavor to nominate
him. The other candidates are no,
much talked of. The hot rivalry be-
tween Huron and Pierre may result in
some unexpected climax. Alexandria
mach to the surprise of both towns, is
developing unexpected strength, an6
this fact may add to the general perplex
ity. From being smiled at in tie start
she is now looked upon as holding the
key to the situation and regarded as
very promising dark horse.

Curious Hallucfnation Among Resi-

curious Hallucfnati0n Among Resi-
dents Of Minnesota Town.
St. Peter, Oct. l4-In regard to the
witchcraft in this country communica-
tion, of which the following is the SUBJ
tance, Was sent to the Mankato Free
Press, and the truth of the same is
vouched for by some of the best citizens
in the town of Belgrade:
Mrs. John Solamon has been sick for
the past three Years. She was attended
for the first two years by reputable ply
sicians of good standing, but the present
year, she, hearing OF the witchcraft
remedy III Sweden, wrote to parties in
Sweden and obtained information in
reference to the witchcraft remedy.
She then sent lock of her hair
and fragment of her clothing, as
requested, together with the amount of
money called for by the witohcraft doc.
tor. In response thereto they received
the information that her sickness was
brought on by the manipulations of an
old woman witch in the community.
The information was received by letter
from Sweden stating that the old wo-
man by whom Mrs. Solamon had been
bewitched, and who had inflicted this
sickness upon her was an old woman
who frequently cane to their house.
They concluded that an aunt to both
Mrs. Solamon and her husband, named
Mrs. johnson. living in Hebron, Nicol-
let county, who had frequently visited
them, must be the one. Mrs. johnson
Is woman of frespectability. Thereupon
they began to talk it publicly that Mrs.
johnson was the one who had bewitched
Mrs. Solamon and cansed her sickness.
They received further information from
the wltchcratt doctor in Sweden thst
Mrs. Solamon conld only be cured by
bringing the accused, Mrs. johnson,
publicly before the sick woman, accuse
her. and slap her on her mouth until
her mouth would bleed, and then Mrs.
Solamon would get we'll. Then they
made complaint to the Swede preach
er, A. Anderson, who ordered her
brought up for trial, which took place
after the service in the Swede church
last Sunday, at the house of John
Solamon in the presence of his sick
wife, the preacher acting as judge and
the deacons as jury. Mrs. Solamon tes-
titled that thirteen years ago, while
riding in wagon together,
Mrs. johnson touched her back and it
tickled when she touched it. And
about three years ago, just before Mrs.
Solamon was taken sick. Mrs. johnson
was visiting at her house and while
there she saw her take hold of the quilt
on the bed, and ever since she has telt
that tickling in her back. Charles Lind,
another witness, stated that he knew
that Mrs. Solamon's disease was caused
by witchcraft. Mrs. John Peterson
stated that she had seen the witches
send the craft off, and seen it fly in
the air and strike the persons who were
soon after taken sick. The accused was
not present at the trial, but was found
guilty, but at last accounts sentence
had not been passed upon her.

Washington, Oct. 19-Attorney Gen
eral Garland SAID to Post. reporter to.
night in regard to the request of Chief
Justice Vincent, of New Mexico, that
he be allowed to come to Washingto ton
and vindicate himself, that there had
been no reply made.to Vlncent's request
or to dispatches from other parties re-
questing an investigation. Garland said
that he would not consider the case un-
til all that can be said about the matter
is before him. The appointment OF
Dorsey as jury commissioners, Garland
stated, is only one Of tho many indica.
tions that have led him to believe Vim
cent was not in proper atmosphere to
exercise his functions with entire impair
tialiis. Garland added that .Vincents e
previous association WAS prejudicial to

A New Jersey Horror.

Jersey City, N. j., Oct. 1o.--A train
containing 800 emigrants was run into
last night by a passenger train between
Jersey City aud Newark. The emigrant
train left Jersey City for the west at
6:l5 p. M. At the meadow, just outside
Of the city, the train was detained by
wrong signals of the operator. The
train was followed by the fast express,
which crashed into the emigrant train,
wreckipR the rear cars and killing ten
people outright. The accident occurred
on Rackensack bridge. which caught
fire shortly afterward and lighted up
the scene brilliantly. The news of the
catastrophe was at once telegraphed to
this city, and relief train with physi-
clans and bandages was quickly dis
patched to the scene. The fire depart
ment was sent out and the dead and
wounded were brought back to this city.
1t is said the number of wounded is be.
tween fifty and seventy.ive.

COLLIDED ON A CURVE.
Two Freight Trains in Pennsylvania
Make Frightful Wreck.
Two Men Killed and all the Train
men More or Less Injured.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. 2.-One of the
messed in this vicinity happened shortly be-
fore o'clock this afternoon in WOrman's
cut, half mile east of here, on the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad. The local freight,
east-bound, had started from the Washing
ton yards with orders to run to Finleyville.
When the cut mentioned was reached. she
collided with the west-bound through
freight with terrific force, as both trains
were running at high rate of speed. The
track in the cut lies in curve, and for this
reason the engineers did not discover the
approaching disaster until too late to pre-
vent it. The two engines rushed together
in an iron embrace, box cars were piled up
and the track was covered with the debris
of the wreck. In the collision the follow
ing persons were injured:
John Ryder, Washington, conductor, in
stantly killed. The remains are horribly
mangled and scalded.
Frank Snyder, Piedmont, W. Va, brake
man who was on one of the engines, scalded
to death.
James Morris, Washington, seriously
wounded. He was brought to his home in
the First ward, where he now lies.
j. o. Reynolds, jamestown, fireman, legs
mangled and feet badly mashed.
Engineer Frank Dean received ugly bruises,
but it is thought he is not seriously injured.
In addition to these every hand on the
two trains were more or less injured. A
force of men are now on the spot clearing
up the wreck. Travel will not be delayed
long. as there is siding through the cut
which is being opened. During the after
noon hundreds of Washingtonians poured
out to the scene to view the CHASTITY sight.
The death of Conductor Ryder is peculiarly
sad. His family consists of wife and three
small children. Tonight his grief-stricken
wife is literally crazed with the shock. At
this hour it is impossible to locate where
the fault lies. The inquest will be to-mor-
row, when the responsibility NAV be placed.

upon which Mcdonald was directed to re-
store the property. He refused and was
adiudged in contempt and his answer being
stricken out a judgment was entered
against him for $40, 1880 in the month of
April, 1878.
UPON THIS JUDGMENT
Hovey and Dale sued Mcdonald in the su-
preme court of this city. and he was lodged
in jail in February, 1879, upon the charge
of having converted the money to his own
use. A motion in his behalf to vacate the
order of arrest was denied, and upon appeal
he met with no better success. He then
demurred to the complaint, but as that was
overruled and he failed to put in an answer
on Oct. 90, 1879, judgment was entered
against him for $50, ,540.7O. After being in
jail for nearly seven years, he applied to
Judge OGOrman to set aside the Judgment
and give him leave to defend the suit and
interpOse an answer. The judge denied
the application to-day in a lengthy opinion,
in which he says:
oIf he has suffered long imprisonment in
the case, it has been by his own fault. l see
nothing in his conduct to entitle him now to
extraordinary Indulgence of the court. The
question seems chiefly to be whether the de-
fendant, by obstinate disobedience of the
mandate of one court and by equally obsti-
nate endurance of the penalty imposed upon
him by another, will succeed in wearing out
the authority of the law.

Bulgarians have refused the proposals OF
the Servians to withdraw the armies to

all the retired officers, who served under his
command during the last Turkish war to
go to the front. 1t is con-
sidered that the only chance that
exists for the preventing an extension OF
the conflict is the formation of cabinet
under Mr. Kistiss, formerly prime minister,
whose policy is to contine hostilities within
their present limits. Dispatches from Mlssa
report that council of war was held there
to-day. King Milan, Col. Horvatovitch

POSTMASTERS ACT.
They Organize at Chicago TO Rectify
Grievances.

CHICAGO. Dec. "A meeting of the
third and fourth-class postmasters of Cook
and adjacent counties was held this morn
ing The object is to choose town suita-
BILE for the holding of a convention in the
near future at which will be brought up for
consideration some of the grievances of
these classes of officials. They claim at
present to be under the disadvantage of not
receiving sufficient compensation for the
amount of work they do. In the first place
they claim to receive low salaries, have to
pay the rent of the places used as postof-
fees, and when necessary, as sometimes is
the case, to procure assistance they are
compelled to pay the salaries of the assist
ants Therefore it turns out sometimes,
they say, that they are left entirely without
compensation.
1t was decided to hold the convention in
Chicago, Feb. Is, 1886. A committee of
seven was chosen to make arrangements for
the convention. 1t was decided to ask the
postmasters of each congressional district
to meet at their usual place of holding con-
gressional sittings on the second Tuesday in
January and elect their delegates. 1t was
decided to publish in the Postal Guide a
circular letter asking postmasters of the
third-class to contribute 81 and of the
fourth-claSs so cents in order to defray the
expenses. After some other preliminary
work the meeting adjourned.
