Placing Mrs. Logan Above Want.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Capt. George
E. Lemon. of the National Tribune, this
morning started subscription fund for the
benefit of Mrs. Logan, with 81. 900, and
sent invitutions to hundreds of Mrs.
Logan's friends and admirers throughout
the country asking them to contribute.
The Western Union Telegraph company
rendered the free use of its wires for trans
mitting subscriptions. The responses are
now coming in rapidly, and $1,000 sub
scriptions have been received from Senator
Sawyer, Hon. William Walter Phelps,
John B. Drake. of Chicago. Gov. Alger,
of Michigan, George NJ. Pullman and
others. The receipts in four hours from the
time the subscription was started amounted

and send checks or drafts at once to the

PENSION LEGISLATION PROBABLE.
Among the members of the house who
visited the capitol to-day the suggestion
was passed around that liberal pension
should be granted to the widow of Gen.
Logan, and it met with hearty approval on
every hand. The Democrats manifested
as much eagerness as the Republicans to
Join in providing for the widow. The
hearty manner in which tine suggestion has
been taken hold of renders it certain that
among the first acts of congress upon reas-
sembling will be to pass pension bill for
Mrs. Logan.
The subscriptions are coming in steadily,
and now amount to over SIS, 900.

ground of unadjusted pension claims left in
his hands by his father. Four names were

PORT ARTHUR, Ont, Dec. 2S.-A very
sad accident occurred on Conductor
Deamois' up-freight special. on the eastern
division of the Canadian Pacific railroad,
last night about two miles east of Nipegon.
A carpenter named Adam Gordon. from
Port Arthur, who was just returning from
Schrieber to visit his sick wife, who is lying
low with lung fever, was riding in engine
1863, together with brakeman named
Frederick, Fireman Harry Brunell and En-
gineer Ramsay, when the crown sheet
burst. The frightful rush of steam blew the
three first named men out of the engine over
the tender on to the track. where they
had to lie for some time in the cold, the
thermometer standing 400 below zero.
They were all terribly scalded and frozen.
Gordon only lived some two hours after the
accident. having had his back broken. The
fireman had one leg broken and was badly
frozen about the face, hands and feet. The
brakeman was badly scalded and smashed
about the face, but is able to walk. The
fireman and brakeman were both taken to a
hospital on their arrival here at LOS o'clock,
and GordOnS remains were met by his
friends and prepared for burial. The ell

New YORK, Dec. 2s.-Judge Reynolds.
of the Brooklyn city court. to-day rendered
his decision in the suit of Mrs. Louisa G.
Staunton against her husband Rev. Ben
jamin Staunton for separation. The judge
said there was no real difficulty in arriving
at the facts of the case. The plaintiff
relied mainly ON her own testimony to
establish the acts of cruelty alleged. The
judge said that brutal husbands will not
beat their wives in the presence of wit
nesses. The assault of February 1885 is
corroborated by the evidence of neighbors
who heard her outcries and her brother to
whom she fled for refuge. The only wit
nesses who impeached the veracity of the
plaintiff were those who sympathized with
and aided the defendant. The judge eX-
pressed himself as clearly of the opinion
that the charge of cruelty and inhuman con-
duct was made out, and that the plaintiff
was entitled to Judgment of separation.

WINoNA, Dec 2S.-A servant girl
named Tina Webber. employed in the fam
lily of Mr.. John Kendall, was found dead in
bed this morning. A bottle Of the oil OF
tansy lay on table near by, and was un-
doubtedly the cause of the girls death. This
seems to be only another case of having
''loved not wisely but too we'll" The oil
OF tansy was purchased at the drug store OF
John Won Robe on Thursday OF last week,
and was probably taken on account of its
well known medical use. About tea
spoonful Of the fluid had been taken from
the bottle. The girl last evening had left
everything ready to begin her washing
early this morning, and this, with other
circumstances, point to the fact that she
had no intention of committing suicide, and
had taken an overdose. Mr.. Kendall. at
whose house the girl boarded was seen this
afternoon. He stated that about o'clock
this morning the servant girl. not having
made her appearance, some one went to
her room and found her lying upon the bed

and uncovering sheet that hid the girls
face, said: Look at your victim" 1t is
said Fullerton was somewhat confused, but
denied having ever had improper relations
with the girl. Mr.. Fullerton was called
upon this afternoon. He says he came to
WinOna about the 1st of October and did
not meet Tina Webber until about the 1st
of November and that any stories set af1oat
about his ever having had criminal rela-
tiOns with the girl are false in every partic-

man who was waiting on her with whom
she often made appointments. He could
never find out who the fellow was. He
said he had no idea Tina was in trouble.
