Vermillion Plain Talk: Col, Jolley
asserts that there can be nothing in the
report that Mr.. N. J. Wallace was a de-
faulter to the government to the amount
of 81, 900 during his term as receiver of
public money at the Vermillion land Of
fee. During Mr.. Wallaoe's term Col.
Jolley was his clerk and attended to all
the business and says he knows whereof
he speaks when he says that Mr.. Wal
lace's accounts were true. II looks to us
as though if the government had lost
anything it would have been discovered
long before this. He has his receipts in
in full from the government and we are
unable to see through what channel
this business comes. 1t looks very
much like a purely b~lackmailing scheme.

PORTAGE, Wis, Oct. 30.-An old build
ing at Rio was converted into temporary
morgue yesterday, and therein repose all
that is mortal OF the beings who persisted
IN the wreck OF night before last. The
bodies are all placed upon sheets and arti-
cles found near them in the wreck are laid
upon the remains for the purpose of Iden-
LITIGATION, but in some cases Identification
will be impossible. Brakeman Wells of
Milwaukee, who left the switch open,
causing the derailment of the train, fed,
and his whereabouts is unknown. No
efforts have been made to capture him.
Assistant Superintendent EARRING tele-
graphed General Manager Miller late last
night, giving the total number of the
dead. Those positively identified so far
are as follows: Mrs. Conrad Scherer of
WinonR; Mrs. RosinA Jones, Rush Creek,
Mimi; Mrs. Alvins Hunter, Kalamazoo,
Mich; Mrs. Beebe, Kalamazoo; Louis
BrInke, Ashland; Mr.. Waltersdorf, CO.
lumbus; Sister Alphonse, Winona; Sister
Dimpsey, Winona. To the above list
must certainly he added the Novice Al
berthe, who was with the two Franciscan
sisiers. Continuing, EsrliDg says that to
the list OF those positively identified 1t is
quite possible will be added the names of
John Mexican, Joseph Blank, Frank
Guyer OF Chicago and Mrs. Mari of CHI
csgo. These are not positively identified
vet, but were supposed to be in the car.
The above list brings the number of per-
sons in the coach to sixteen.

Implicated HiapaY.

WAsHINeTo I, Oct. 29-The proceedings
Of court martial id this city for the trial
of Captain VIM. P. johnson of the United
States army, retired, have been made
public. Captain johnson was tried upon
charges of duplicity in pay accounts aud
the court martial returned . verdict of not
guilty. Lieutenant General Sheridan who
reviewed the proceedings set aside the Yer.
dict. The lieutenant general says the ac-
cused admitted the execution Of
two sets of vouchers tor
his pay for the same month, and the evil
dence shows that he allowed these vouch-
ers TO pass beyond his control, SO that both
were presented and paid. The govern
ment was thereby exposed to fraud, fer
which Captain johnson cannot be held
excusable. The release of the accused
from arrest had been ordered and the
court martial dissolved. This action of the
lieutenant general in disappearing the
findings of the court IN acquiiting the ac-
cused, is said to be almost without pre-
cedent in the administration of military
justice. The accused stands almost in the
same position he occupied before the trial,
although he cannot be tried again for the
same offense

Ala Deadlock.

ATLANTA, Ga. Oct. 29.-The committee
of fifty, composed of twenty five prohibit
tionis.s and twenty-five tI-prohibitIon-
lists, appointed by the citIzens' mass meet
ing Tuesday night, met yesterday and are
no in q deadlock. The antis presented
the name of Tyler Cooper for mayor, and
voted for him at every ballot. The pro-
hibitiuBisis presented first Captain Harry
jackson, and then Judge r 7. Dorsey.
Each ballot gave twenty five votes each.
The committee then adjourned until
to- might. Il is thought no settlement
can be made. The prohibitioDists seem
willing to take anybody but Cooper,
and ssy the ants ought ID divide equally
In the selection of aldermen and council.
The antis are unwilling to surrender
Cooper or make any concession tor the
couDcll that will not let them control both
branches. They claim the entire wet
ticket will be Overwhelmingly elected, and
therefore turn deaf ear To the plea of the
probibitiOnists. The latter say as the law
has been passed il is the duty of the cItl-
zens to elect officers who will enforce II.
It Is probable that If the committee of fifty
does lot agree two tickets will be pre-
aented

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Under the act
Of congress which allowed the state Of
Kansas $4,000 acres of land for agr1cuI-
tural college purposes, selections were
made for the full amount by the state in
1854. But portion was double mini
mum lands, made SO by grants 10 the
Kansas Pacific, and about seven thousand
and Elk hundred acres were withheld on
this account. Governor Crawford, resi-
dent state agent, has been for the past
five years endeavoring to reclaim this
amount Of land fog the state of Kansas
on the ground that the railroad from
Fort Riley up the Republican river to-
ward the hundredth meridian was never
definitely located or constructed, and
hence the land Was not double mini
mum.
After various decisions pro and con,
the secretary of the interior finally de-
eided to- day against the claim OF the
state on the ground that the odd sections
having been withdrawn for railroad pur-
poses. the lands selected by the state
thereby became double minimum.

Duel over a Negro.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-A Washington
special says: 1t is reported here that ex-
Mayor Lamb OF Norfolk and Representa-
tive George d. Wise of Richmond may
fight duel. Lamb r. q republican and q
man of nerve and courage, and for many
years a staunch supporter of Sem
ator Malone. The trouble be-
tween Lamb and Wise indirectly
grew out of the recent convention OF the
knights Of Labor at Richmond. The ex-
element that followed the colored mans
presence among the whites In theatre
caused discussion that spread, more or
less throughout the state. In Norfolk,
Colonel Lamb, in the presence
of = large number of people
of both races, after denouncing the action
of the democrats in the matter, referred to
the candidate Of that party for congress In
the Richmond district, and charged cer-
tain very disreputable things against Wise.

Working the Bucket shops


CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-A local paper this
morning says that q very sharp game was
played on one or more Kansas City bucket
shops Thursday and that somebody made
large sum at their expense. II appears
that Thursday afternoon Norton 81 Worth
lngtOn, board of trade brokers, bought
$50, 900 bushels of corn for May delivery
on the board and by so dong bulled the
market from AZ y to 1885 cents. When the
latter figure was reached WorthingtOn,
who was doing the trading, walked into
the office and immediately returned, and
in less than five minutes from the last pur-
chase was selling out the lot he had just
bought. While he was gone the market
dropped to 43 Il and this offer was 4318.
The market rapidly declined and by the
time he had unloaded the ,250, 600 bush
els the market had reached Its original
figures. There was considerable
comment on the proceeding and
the general opinion on the board was that
some body had blundered. Yesterday a
leading broker received q dispatch from a
Kansas City bucket shop asking if Norton
81 Worthington had really bought largely
and claiming that the bulling of the mar
ket was part of q scheme TO beat the
bucket shops, by bnving at the opening
price and selling at 433s cents. kilograms
| were received by mem bers yesterday say
Ing that the bucket shops refused to settle
| At 4338 cents, alleging that the sharp deal
| ing was no legitimate market at that price.
1t is said by the board OF trade men
however that they will have
TO settle. 1t was a new scheme and very
simple. Somebody at Kansas city bought
large quantities Of corn at the opening
price and telegraphed to Chicago to buy
largely. which bulled the market here,
and sold at the second Chicago market
which reached Kansas City. The profits
are reported at from $27 600 to 5000.
Norton Il Worthington say that they sim
ply followed an ordinary order, and knew
| nothing of other deals or circumstances.
The report Is that three shops in Kansas
City and one or more in Minneapolis had
been worked, with a profit of about
$50. 600
