a BOX-CAR TR AGEDY.
The Terrible Ending OF a stolen
Ride.

DECATUR, ILL.,, March 11.-Three we'll
dressed young men, Edward Ivey and
Bruce Woodland of West Liberty, ILL.,, and
Charles McKim of Gordon, Ind, got on the
west-bOund accommodation train on the
Decatur 81 Evansville road this morning at
MattOon for the purpose of stealing ride
to Decatur. They took refuge in q box
car, which was closed and locked. When
within ten miles of Decatur, the trio be-
came involved in a fight. which ended in a
tragedy. McKim shot lvey in the head,
back and abdomen, and Woodland, who
also had a revolver, emptied the five cham
bers at McKim without hitting him. Nine
shots were fired in the car while Ivey
lay upon the floor weltering in his
life blood. The noise attracted the
attention of the conductor, who
with United States deputy marshal, who
happened to bo on board. went to the car,
opened it. and found McKim and Woodard
in hand-to-hand conflict over the body Of
Ivey, who was unconscious. The young
men were brought to Decatur and placed in
jail. 1vey is at the Laclede hotel, and was
thought to be dying this evening. Wood
ard. who has worked for farmers in Logan
county, stated that McKim fired the first
shot without provocation for the purpose Of
robbng his partner, Ivey, and that he
(Woodard) did not shoot until he thought
McKim intended to kill him. There was
but S3.40 in the party, about equally di-
vided. McKlm alleges that his companions
had made it up between them to rob him Of
his watch and money.

Wholesale Poisoning.

LEBANON, Pa. March 11.-On Tuesday
afternoon about eighty inmates of the aims
house We're seized with vomiting and severe
pain. DR., Wiess, attending physician,
pronounced it case of wholesale poison
ing. Measures were promptly taken to
counteract the poison. To-day most of the
victims are suffering severely from nausea
and twelve of them are still in a critical
condition. An investigation revealed the
fact that all who drank of the coffee pre-
pared for the noon meal were sick and the
coffee pot was found lined with a thick
sediment of Paris green. The vessel holds
barrel or more and into this some person
had thrown almost four pounds of the
poison. The doctor is of the opinion that,
had 1t not been for the fact that the poison
was too strong, causing vomiting, more
than half of the inmates would now be
dead

ToFu,e With the Farmers.

LANSING. Mich, March 11.-In the state
assembly of the knights of Labor yesterday
a resolution was adopted for the appoint
ment of a committee to confer with the
Changers. 1t is thought this will result in
the practical fusion OF the two, the farmers
accepting the platform of the knights of
Labor. A secret meeting was held to-day
for the consideration of reports of commit
tees and the adoption of resolutions.
Among the important resolutions adopted
was one protesting vigorously against the
passage of the Dingley pilOtage bill. now
before congress. one requesting congress TO
pass bills already introduced providing for
extra compensation to workingmen for all
work done over eight hours per day since
the eight-hour law took effect. and one de-
nouncing the action of prison authorities in
this state in allowing the continuance Of
contract prison labor.

Swallowed Up by wall Street.

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., March H.
The Dime Savings bank of this city has
suspended owing to heavy defalcation by
its treasurer. Investigation reveals the
fact that the directors cannot be held
responsible for whatever deficit may be
found. While Treasurer OgiIby was only
under bonds for 500 900 it is acknowledged
by counsel for the bank that the deficit is
100000 and may reach 500, 900. Mr..
Ogilby's residence is under the surveillance
of the police. 1t is thought that he will
not survive the night. At the charter cleo
ton last spring Lewis r. Dunham, who
had been city treasurer. was depOsed and
Arthur q. Ogilby was chosen. In
February. 1886, he resigned and only with
great reluctance was his resignation
accepted. 1t is remembered now that Mr..
Ogilby's statements as treasurer of the bank
were not sworn to and audited by the d.
rectors. The 1850 depositors in the bank
are mostly the operatives in the mills and
factories of the city. Wall street is sup
posed to have swallowed the money, which
has all been taken within year. Presi-
dent LangdOn asserts that on Feb. 90 he
handed his resignation as president and di-
rector of the bank TO Mr.. Ogilby, not being
satisfied with his management. Mr. Ogilby
never made known the fact of this resigna-
tion to the other directors. Mr.. Langdon
disclaims any responsibility in connection
with the failure.

Its Importance has not been well understood
and fully appreciated. To build this i'm
portant line three companies have been or
ganized, one each in Minnesota. Wisconsin
and Michigan, which will in due time be
consolidated. The distance from Minneap-
oils to Sault Ste. Marie is about 465 miles,
and the distance from there
TO TIDE WATER
at Montreal about 625 miles, or In the
aggregate 1,090 miles, or substantially the
same distance as from Chicago to New
York city. This for eight months in the
year will bring st. Paul as near Liverpool.
London and Glasgow. and other European
ports as Chicago, and consequently save
the entire rail transportation between here
and Chicago. 1t is possible that Mr.. Hill
has been considering the advantages of this
route over the other ones 10 the seaboard,
and knowing that in time the territory
covered by his line will be invaded by the
Chicago lines as it is being at present, and
that it will lose many OF the advantages 1t
has enjoyed in the past, has determined TO
go INTO the new Scneule, anu has
already associated himself with Messrs.
Washburn and Stephens in developing it.
1t is well known to all shippers or any of
the great products of the country that the
low rates obtained TO the seaboard, during
the season of navigation, are by rail and
lake. The rate on flour averages about 10
cents per barrel less by rail and lake than
by all rail. In consequence of this very
large difference large portion of the pro-
ducts of the Minneapolis mills has gone via
the cheaper route during six months of the
year. When the Sault Ste. Marie line is
completed to Lake Michigan il will have an
advantage over any of the existing routes,
and will be open the entire year, and in the
winter season will be able to carry flour at
a rate profitable to il, but at loss TO the
other lines. The new line will depend
on its west-bound traffic for ore shipments,
and coal and other business brought by the
boats from points on the lower lakes and
which is now landed at Duluth. The new
arrangement will be most important railroad
move that has yet been made in the North
west.
