who was already his prisoner and lying
insensible on the floor. He tried TO ex-
plain that old 0ssawattomie, who had
been knocked senseless, was defending
himself with q gum but the prosecuting
attorney, approaching the absurdity Of
the assertion, abruptly cut the testimony
short.
At the time.L Lieutenant Green illustrated
his soldierly valor in clubbing helpless
old John Brown, he was a marine in the
naval service of the United States. I'm
m~ediately after this exploit Green went
on o long cruise in foreign waters, and on
his return found the Shareholders had
seeded from the Union. Green at once
deserted from the service OF the United
States and joined the rebel confederacy.
He was willing to remain in the service
Of the United States so long as he could
defend the interests Of Shareholders and
distinguish himself splitting the skulls of
abolitionists like John Brown. but desert
ed when called on to fight for the preserv
alton of the Union. Violating his pledged
faith, he Joined the confederacy and serv-
cd 1t throughout the Shareholders rebel
lion. Some years since he went to Da-
kota; and now President Cleveland has
selected him TO hold m office in that
overwhelmingly Union community.
Old John Browns brutal assailant has
waited long for his reward. Twenty-six
years ago the old prophet Of freedom lay
senseless On the floor of the engine-house
at Harpcr's Ferry, while Green hacked
him with brutal rage. In a short time
the old mans body was put to rest in a
martyrs grave, but "his soul went march
ing on" His memory was honored and
his requiem sung by a million of Union
soldiers in the field and by all patriotic
men who sustained the cause of liberty
and union. Lincoln, Grant, Hayes and
Garfield were called to the presidency,
and any one of them would have sooner
lost his right hand than have commits
stoned Israel Green to an Office under the
United States. Apparently the renegade
marine who had left the service after his
cowardly assault on old John Brown had
been forgotten of men; but in the course
of the present dark lantern search through
the relics of the confederacy for heroes
and patriots, Israel Green comes to the
surface. OF all the rebels and traitors
raked up from oblivion by the Cleveland
drag-net, Israel Green is perhaps the
most odious and contemplate. There
might have been some possible excuse
for appointing him to office in Georgia,
Mississippi or South Carolina, but to
single him ont for honor in a loyal com
munity like Dakota, is a most outrageous
insult to the feelings and sentiments of
the entire northwest. Chicago Tribune.

Ia john Browns Soul Marcb,nv n,

Israel Green, who has just been ap.
pointed TO an Office In Dakota, has waited
long for his reward. Twenty.six years
ago this month, Green was serving with
the United States marines that attacked
old John Brown of Ossawattomic in the
engine house at Harper's Ferry, when he
was fighting for the freedom Of the slaves,
and with his sword knocked the old man
down and sabered him as he lay helpless
on the floor. Captain Daingerfeld, an
eyewitness, who was within two or three
feet of Brown, said in describing the
scene; "Green thrust his sword at the
old mans body, and Brown fell forward
with his head between his knoes, while
Green struck him several times on the
head with his saber, and, as he then sup
posed, split his skull at every stroke"
Green was much surprised to learn after
wards that he had not killed the old
emancipationist. When he was summon
ed as q witness on the trial Of Brown,
this fellow Green seemed ashamed Of his
cowardly and brutal conduct in seeking
to split the skull Of a helpless old man

Ferd Wards Health Failing.

New YORK, November S.-Since his

Ferd Ward has steadily failed. His
pulse and vitality are low, his spirits are

every other respect Ward has become a
model convict. He is prompt and will

A T t GONE.
John Mccullough Passes Away Suddenly
Mt His Home In PHILADELPHIA.

at HIS Home In philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, November S.-John
Mccullough, the actor, died al his resi-
dcnce, in this city, at five minutes past
one o'clock this afternoon. Mr.. McCul-
lough's death. although not entirely u
expected, occurred quite suddenly, and
was due, as DR.. Hugo Engel, his physi-
clan, says, to "an affection of the brain
caused by blood-poisoning." DR.. Engel
asserts that Mr.. Mccullough was not in
sane, and that it was a mistake to have
placed him in the Bloomingdale Insane
Asylum, where he was confined for a
number Of weeks. His failing mental
powers were first noticed in the early part
of January, 1884, and April of that year
he made i lamentable failure Of ".0thel-
10" in Washington. After that, his all
ment manifested itself at various times in
the loss of memory; the promptcr at
times being obliged to follow him about
the stage. In the summer of 1884 he
spent some time in Carlsbad, Germany,
and returning to this country in August,
he played a five nights engagement in
Milwaukee. Thence he went to Chicago,
where he appeared on the stage for the
last time In his life on the night of Sep
tcmber 30, 1884, in the character of Spar
facus IN the Gladiator" His condition
that ni9ht was so bad that the curtain
was rung down at the end Of the second
act. From that time he has gradually
grown worse until today, occasionally
mending slightly. but. at all times his con-
dition WIS considered hopeless by his
friends. He was brought to this city
Sunday night, October 25-just two
weeks ago-and taken to the residence of
his family, where he died. At that time
he recognized no one, not ever his wife
OF his two sons, and had no control of his
muscles. He regained the use of his
limbs slowly, and in a few days was able
to raise himself to a sitting posture. He
continued in about this same condition
until to-day. John E. Mccullough was
born in the neighborhood of Londonderry,
Ireland, November %, 1884 though in af-
ter life he put the date three years later,
his father being a small farmer in that To-
cality; but, having died while John was
yet quite young, the care of his raising
devolved upon an uncle. When sixteen
years old he came to America, landing in
New York almost penniless. His early
life was a continual struggle with power
ty, and at no time was there ever an
intimation of the brilliant future awaiting
him.

BUSINESS MEN on the Pacific Coast
have good reason for their disgust with
the new reform Administration at
Washington. Mails to China and the
East now go every twenty days instead Of
every ten days as under the Republican
Administration. 1t does not appear that
overland coaches are to be substituted
for railway trains in carrying the mails
TO the Pacific Coast, but this may be due
to the fact that there are 10 English lines
of coaches running in this country. Such
reform" is no more admired in the East
than on the Pacific Coast.

APPALLING DISASTER.
THE WRECK OF L SUPER.
TOR STEAMER.
The steamer Algoma Cast Away ON .
Rocky Coast I'm a Binding Snow
storm-Scenes Of Distress and
Death-Fifteen Lives
Saved.

CHICAGO. November 9.-The Dali,
Necs special from Winnipeg says: "a
fearful disaster occurred on Lake Super.
Tor of Port Arthur this morning. The
magnificent ironclad steamer Algoma, Of
the Canadian Pacific Railroad, was wreck
ed, and thirty-seven lives lost. Only
meager particulars have been received up
to the present hour. They consist mainly
of kilograms to private persons announc-
ing the loss of friends.
The steamer left Port Arthur at 8 n. m.
and was wrecked off Isle Royal Just at
the outside of Thunder Bay. A heavy
storm prevailed all Sunday afternoon and
night, and the steamer lay to for a time.
When the weather cleared slightly the
vessel started again, but made slow pro-
gress. In the morning a dense fog pre-.
vailed, and the steamer felt her way
along, blowing fog horns. She struck a
reef, and went down, all hands on board
being reported lost. The steamer was
bound for Owen Sound, with passengers
for Toronto and other points east.
Captain Moore Is master of the vessel,
and Mr.. Mackenzie, nephew of Hon.
Alexander Mackenzie, Is purser.
The steamer Algoma, bound for Port
Arthur, left Owen Sound on Thursday
last, and was wrecked on Saturday night.
The first known of the disaster was when
the steamer Arthabasca, of the same line
arrived at Port Arthur late this evening
with the crew Q3 men) of the Algoma,
and two passengers, all that we're saved.
The Arthabasca, which left Owen Sound
after the Algoma, cam upon the wreck
at Isle Royal and found the crew and two
passengers in q pcrishing condition on
the sound. The wreck had been dashed
by the waves against the rocks, and had
finally been hurled upon the shore. The
crew and two passengers saved themselv-
es by taking to the life-boat. 1t over
turned several times, but righted again,
and its occupants reached land almost
dead from exposure and exhaustion. The
storm continued to rage furiously all
night long. The rescued remained on
the beach, watching the wreck beat
against the rock bound island, and seeing
the bodies of the drowned tossing in the
surf. The Arthabasca came along about
noon to-day, and seeing the wreck and
distress signals on shore she sent a boat
for the survivors and took them on board
the Arthabasca, which at once set sail for
Port Arthur, where she arrived about
seven o'clock this evening.
The Algoma was n t%hOrOuphly- built
and splendidly equipped Clyde-b built
steamer, lighted by electricity. 1t was
complete in every detail. The furnish
ing was equal to the finest ocean steamers.
The vessel cost $3.50, 900, and is under.
stood to have been insured for $500, 900.
1t is n of three steamers-Alberta. Ar
thabasca and Algoma-purchased two
years ago by the Canadian Pacific Rail
road for lake traffic, since which time 1t
has been plying steadily between Owen
Sound and Port Arthur, doing q big bust
ness.

AT the time when day should under
ordinary circumstances break, darkness
continued, for the, snow storm had not
abated and the atmosphere was terribly
thick. The steamer still held on her
way, and, as fair progress had been made.
Notwithstanding the severity of the storm,
it was thought that the Isle Royal, which
is a short distance outside of Thunder
Bay and about forty-iive miles from Port
Arthur, must be near at hand. The is
land is long, but comparatively narrow
and rocky, and its vicinity is treacherous,
owing to the large number of reefs about
1t. The channel by which the bay is
entered runs close to the island, and Cap.
tain Moore realized the necessity of pro-
crossing with the utmost care. Fog
horns were blown and signals Of distress
sounded, and the speed Of the boat was
reduced, but as the storm continued to
rage 1t was impossible to determine alb
solutely what course the boat was pur.
suing.
Suddenly a great crash was heard, and
the vessel rebounded and quivered like
an aspen leaf. Good Godp' said the
Captain, "she's struck; our doom has
come" Ten seconds later all was the
widest confusion andalarm. Those who

Meantime the life boat and Its occu
pants had terrible experiences on thu
open, storm-tossed lake. All who could
bound themselves to the boat, while tho
remainder held on the sides, expecting
every moment to meet death, either BY
drowning or from exposure and the cold
