TREAcHERoUS CORN.

A Man SuGocated m Deep Corn Bin.
BUFFALO, N. Y, February 21.-A pecu-
liar accident occurred at the American
Grape Sugar Works, resulting in the death
of Nicholas Mullen. He had been en-
ployed at the works for several years, and
his business was in the starch-making
branch, to attend to filling the steep watts
with corn. These watts are under
series of deep, narrow bins, which are
opened with lever. Sometimes the bins
get clogged up. and the custom Is to clear
them out from below. Instead of doing
this, however. it appears that Mullen
got down into one of the bins. He was
first discovered by the foreman, who heard
faint cry. At this time he was almost
buried. The bin coptained 1900 bushels of
corn, and the grain was steadily working
down upon him, his head and one hand only
being above the surface. The foreman
jumped down, grasped the handand pulled
with all his might to extricate the unfortu-
nate man, but in vain. He then rushed for
help. out by this time Muilen's head was
covered and he was suffocated. After nearly
an hours work the body was taken up.
Mullen was sixty-five years of age.

N.tura, Ga. Explosion Cas-.

PITTsBURGH, Pa, February a1.-After
the destructive explosion of natural gas in
this city bill was fled in court asking for
an Injunction to restrain the natural gas
companies from bringing gas into the city.
This morning Judge Stowe rendered de-
cision refusing an absolute Injunction on
the grounds that the affidavits did not show
the general danger, but said that unless the
mains near the scenes of the expiosion were
not made safe within forty eight hours an
injunction would be granted as to that por-
ton of the lines. The Court suggested the
appointment of commission to inspect and
report on the safety of the mains.

ANOTHER PILLAR FALLEN.

A Trusted Judge Who Has Passed Beyond
Human Reach, Proves to Have Been q
First Class Swindler.
NEW YORK, February 1S.-The &C.
counts of Judge Henry Vovrhis, of Ber-
gen County, New York, who died about
two weeks ago, were found to be in an in
volved condition. He was a man well
known, and had the reputation of being
thoroughly honest and extremely pious.
His financial condition was reputed
sound, and he was custodian of large
sums of money belonging to his neigh
bors, beside being the executor of sew
eral estates. 1t has been found that he
made no a counts of moneys intrusted
to his care, and there is no trace of his
disposition of the funds. Several of his
neighbors deposited money with him for
which they received no acknowledgment,
so thoroughly did they believe in his hon.
esty, and there can be found no evidence
of its whereabouts. He was Treasurer
of the cemetery fund, and for thirty five
years Secretary of the Bergen County
Farmers Mutual Insurance Company,
which position he held at the time of his
death. To both of these Institutions he
is largely indebted; the insurance COM
pany being compelled by his deficiencies
TO wind up its affairs.
Upon opening his safe his sons were
astoni he'd at the absence of papers to
show what disposition had been made of
the funds unaccounted for. The affair
has created profound sensation in
Bergen County. Judge Voorhls' metho-
dical habits and plain manner of living
inspired the confidence of all who knew
him, and his friends can not account
for the absence of memoranda of various
sums intrusted to him.

eisMARcK's sLUsTER.

Tho German Chancellor Creates Storm b.
the Reichstag BY Bitter Speech ON the
Bill to Increase the Duty on Cereals-Pans
demonium Reigns for Awhile.
BERLIN, February II. = Bismarck.
speech in the Reichstag last night during
the debate on the bill providing for an in.
crease Of duty on cereals, was one of the
most fiery the Chancellor has INDUCED In
for long time. He roundly denounced
the members, who opposed the measure,
and asserted that their utterances in OPP
position to the bill were either false, dis
torted or exaggerated.
"While these men," said the Chancellor,
'splay upon the minds of workmen and
small farmers with false doctrines, dis
seminating their reasonable views and
putting wrong constructions to every
measure introduced for the general well
fare of the people, it is impossible to have
unity or any semblance of accord among
the laboring classes"
Bismarck here, pointing at the Left,
launched forth bitter invectlves at the
members of that section of the ReIchstag.
He worked himself into such an excited
state, and spoke with such feeling that it
was apparent the "Man of Iron' was
thoroughly aroused. Raising his voice to
the highest pitch he shouted, with his arm
still stretched in the direction of the
Left: 81 see nothing but mischief in the
tactics of the, members of the Left, which
can bode no good, either for their con-
stituents or the country"
This remark caused sensation. In an
instant several members of the wing thus
accused, were on their feet denouncing
his remarks as monstrous and unwarrant-
ed, adding:
"If we voted for the measure you
would then charge us with having fore
told the people they would not suffer by
this blood tax you seek to impose"
DeafeniDg tumult followed these re-
marks.
Members jumped upon benches and
howled like madmen, and for while
pandemonium prevailed. Order was fin
ally restored, but not until some members
were threatened with expulsion did mat
tiers quiet down so as to admit of the
transaction of further business.

THE PHILADELPHIA HOLOCAUST.
A Negro Confesses That He Set Fire to tn
Insane AlmAhnuSe.

"A
Insane Aimshouse.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, February 21.-At
the coroner's inquest yesterday in re-
gard to the twenty victims of the recent
fire in the Blockley almshOuse, sensation
was developed by the confession of Joseph
Nadine, a young negro, that he had set fire
to the building, and was instigated to the
act by Peter j. Schroeder, one of the chief
attendants. Nadine is about twenty-three
years of age, and was committed to the in
stituton as an imbecile, but it is said by the
physicians of the institution that he is
morally responsible and that he was fire.
quently permitted to go home unattended
As result of Madness confession Schroe-
der was arrested. Nadine said Schroeder
had given him match on the night of the
calamity and told him to set the place on
fire. Nadine then went to the drying room
and lighting match applied it to some
rubbish on the floor. He then called
Schroeder, and the two, with the assistance
of an attendant named Mullen. endeavored
to get the patients out, but the fire gained
such Roadway that they were forced to
leave the building. Nadine says that when
Schroeder gave him the match he told him
to set fire to the building, that he was tired
of the place and was going to leave, and
disliked DIR. Richardson because lie refused
to give him a railroad pass, and Nadine
intimates that the attendant Mullen
also knew of his having set the fire, but
thinks he did not know of it UNI
til the next day. Mullen was not placed in
custody but will be detained as
witness against Schroeder. Nadine says
he twice before set fire to the building, but
both times the flames were discovered and
extinguished. On both occasions ne after
ward told Schroeder of his acts, but that
the latter assured him he would not report
him to the authorities of the institution.
Nadine was at times nervous and greatly
frightened apparently, but upon being as
sured that no harm would be done him he
would become calm and collected. Nadine
told of many cruelties inflicted upon the pa
tients by Schroeder when tine latter was i'm
violent temper. Schroeder, after the ar
rest, admitted that he had intended leaving
the institution, but denied the truth of Ma
dimes story, or that he had ever said he
was down on DIR. Richardson"

THE LATE RAILROAD WRECK.

The Late Disaster ON the virginia Midland
Railroad-Five Psrsons Killed and Great
Loss Of Mail Matter.
WASHINGTON, February 21.-The latest
report from the scene of the railroad accident
at -Four Mile makes it certain that five men
were killed, all train hands. All the pas
sengers, seventy In number. escaped serious
injury. The safe of the express car had
been opened shortly before the accident and
the flames made such Roadway the express
agents could not close 1t. The contents
were burned. On account Of the wayblls
having been burned, 1t can not now be told
Just how much money was in the safe,
but 1t is variously estimated all the
way from $4,000 to s15O,O00 Ebout
bushel of silver dollars were taken out
of the wreck, being totally burned, and
MANY more were melted into solid chunks
The loss to the railroad company is estima-
ted at s25, 900. The postal officials say the
collision caused the largest loss of mail
matter of which there Is any record in the
department. The fire which resulted from
the collision destroyed thirteen through
registered mail pouches coming from New
Orleans, Mobile and other points in the
South and destined for Washington, New
York and Eastern cities. These pouches
are known to have contained
money and valuables, but to what
amount can not yet be ascertained.
The fire also destroyed one hundred sacks
of ordinary mail matter, heavy miscella-
neous mail and one hundred and eighty
registered letters taken up for delivery
along the line and not inclosed in the
pouches. The ordinary mail lost is supposed
to have come from Louisiana, Texas, Mis-
sissippi and other Southern States. 1t is
impossible as yet to tell where the blame
for the disaster rests, as all who could throw
any light on the matter are dead or so
badly injured the facts can not be ascer-
tanned.
