The CANEY MURDERS. de-
velopments in the double murder on
Caney have not altered materially the
matter as reported in our last issue.
The mulatto, John Stevens, on whom
suspicion at once fell, was arrested and
has been committed for trial, by the
commissioner. DR.. Pyle who was so
viciously assaulted, had sworn out a
warrant for Stevens, charging him with
cattle-stealing. This is thought TO
have been the reason for the attempt
upon the life of Pyle and his family,
but why Mrs. Kerr and her son were
murdered is a mystery. Among the
clews connecting Stevens with the
Pyle care was the fact that the day be-
fore he borrowed a horse and blanket
and the morning the killing was dis
covered, the blanket was found near
Pyle's house. A rag which Stevens
wore around his foot was also found
near by, and the man gave no satisfac-
tory explanation rs to how these arti-
cles came there. When first arrested
Stevens promised to make a statement
Of the whole affair il they would take
him away from the locality, he fearing
lynching.

CENTRAL AND SOUTH AFRICA.
Massacre of Christians at Uganda Ten Thousand Pondos Invade Aesibeland.

LONDON, Oct. 26, 1SS6.-Details have been received of the massacre of native Christians of Uganda, Africa by order of King Mwanga The massacre began in June, and was directly due to the refusal of Christian lad. acting as the Kings page, to commit an abominable crime. Many Christians were tortured, mutt lated and speared, and thirty-two were buried alive together. The appeals of the mission- aries for cessation of the atrocities were un- availing.
 The fate of these unfortunates did not serye to frighten candidates for baptls,l, and within week after the massacre many natives were baptized at their own desire.
 Leaflets containing extracts from the Scrip lures, prayers and hymns in the Uganda lan- guage are freely bought by the people, although their possession involve danger of punishment The diary of Bishop Planning on, who was put to death by the King, will soon be published in London. It is a thrilling and pathetic narra- tive of his experiences in Ugauda up to the day of his death.
 Ten thousand Pondos have invaded Xesibe- land, burning the kraals and committing de- predations. The government is raising volun- teers to resist them. The situation is critical.

Salmon Wouldn't Tell,

Salmon ?. Chase went to Dartmouth College, and, think, graduated there. Ee was a lively boy, and while in school was noted for his manliness. Part of his school life was spent in Gin cinnati, and during this time there was a fire made in one of the rooms. The boys were all called up and catechised as to it's origin. All except Chase de- nied all knowlege of the affair. When the question was put to him as to whether he knew who had lighted tho fire, he replied:
 'T do."
 "Who was it ?''
 'I will not tell :"
 The professor grew angry. The pres ident was called in and Chase was again again asked. He again refused, saying "Mr. President, did not intend to in suit Prof. Blank, but am not going to lie. ] know who made the fire, but I will leave the school before 1 will be- come Q tell tale"
 As he said this his large intellectual eye looked squareiy into that of the President, and the latter fully appreci- ated that he meant it. He said that he would excuse Chase this time, and dis missed him with slight reprimand.

Rain From a CloudIess SkT.
THE PECULIAR PHES OMENON WHICH AGI- TATEs THE PEOPLE OF RALEIGH.

A letter from Raleigh, N. O., says
 Many canards have doubtless originated
 in North Carolina, but the truthful tale
 of a phenomenon at Charlotte makes
 them but poor stories indeed. A great
 sensation prevails at Charlotte. It is caused by pair of trees in the vicinity of which, regularly each day at threc o'clock, a shower of rain falls. The phc- nomenon was yesterday witnessed by hundreds of citizens, before whose gaze
 rain fell for two hours.
 At three o'clock to day an immense crowd had assembled, awaiting the re currence of the phenomenon. The skies were perfectly clear, and the sun was shining brightly. The ground in the vicinity was dry and dusty owing to long drought. Two scrubby oak trees stand in yard at the corner of Ninth and D streets. There is nothing unusual about the appearance of the trees, save that they are not very well filled with leaves
 At three o'clock the expectant multi tude was rewarded by the appearance of rain. It began coming down between the trees in a kind of mist, which grad ually increased until it was a gentle but genuine rainfall. Though rain was fall ing before the eyes of all present no one could tell from whence it came. It could be seen coming down from point above the tops of the trees, and it continued to fall until five o'clock, and that Was all that could be realized. Every individ- ual present could see it plainly. An umbrella held under the falling water was quickly dripping wet. Some of the water was gathered ill waterproof gar ment. The water was icy cold. Among those present was MT. James A. Barry, sergeant in charge of the signal station, who was so impressed with what he wit messed that he reported the occurrence to Washington. The ground covered by the rainfall is about ten feet square. This wonderful occurrence has been going on daily for four weeks past, as the residents of the vicinity will testify. While the rain was falling yesterday persons climbed up the trees to make in vcstigation. The leaves and twigs were perfectly dry, and while they were in the top of the tlces they could see the rain comlng down from above them. No person ever attempts to explain the phc- nOmenOn.

IN A BLAZING CAR.
MANY PEOPLE BURNED TO DEATH
 IN RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
An Open Switch Leads to n Fearful Trag-
 edy on the Milwaukee and St. Paul.

PORTAGE, Wis, Oct 29.-Soon after mid- night the west-bound limited train was ditched at East Rio siding, thirteen miles east of Por- tagc, on the main line of the Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul road. There are two side tracks at tho place, and at the time the train was due there last night both Were occu- pied by freight trains one by wild train, and the other by train No. II, which had just pulled in from the west to allow the limited to pass. No. IA was very long, and the conductor was at the head of the train, relying upon the brakeman to attend to the switch. He started back to close the switch, but before he could reach 1t the limited, which does not stop at any except large places, came tearing down the grade at fifty miles an hour and left the rails at the open switch. The siding is in cut where the road curves. so that the switch light cannot be seen from the east until a train is within few rods, so the engineer of limited could not see the switch light turned wrong until too late to stop.
 The crash was complete, engines and cars were piled together in one wreck. All the passengers escaped, save those in one car, and from this only three escaped. The car took fire, burned to death those pinned in the wreck. It is believed that twenty-six men, women and children thus lost their lives.

Army Corps Badces.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 1SS6.-The new two dollar silver certificates, it is expected, will be ready for circulation about the 1st of next month. The vignette of General Hancock is said to be the best likeness of the great general ever engraved. The adoption of the vignette of Martha Washington for the one dollar cer- tficates was an innovation, only the likenesses of men having been used on government cur rency heretofore In the two dollar certificate another innovation is made by putting the Second and Third Army corps badges which formed General Hancock's command beside the vlgnette of the General. The Second corps badge was a clover leaf and the Third corps a diamond. The ensraver has very cleverly put the former within the lines of the latter, making it ,s historical tribute to the unity of the two corps under General Han cock. It is not generally known that General Phil Kearney originated the idea of an army corps badge and that the diamond was the first dasign adopted, and it's appearance on the two dollar silver certificate will perpetuate bit of war history.
