THE ORDER oBEYeD.
A Stage Robbed by Mask Men OF

0MEHA. NEB., Jan. ia dispatch
wal received last evening by Gen

ing that a daring stage robbery had
been committed about eighteen miles
from the Fort. About II o'clock In
the morning the stage coach running
between Chaldron the present termi-
nus of the Fremont, Elkhorn aud Mis-.
souri, Valley road, and Fort Robins,
was stopped by a party of masked
men-who ordered the driver and pas
sengers, on whom they got the drop.
to throw up their hands, which order
was obeyed. The highwaymen then
took possession of the Express Com
pany's treasure box containing about
five thousand dollars in gold intended
for the payment of troops at Fort
Robins. They then ordered the driver
to proceed. whereupon the stage re-
sumed its journey to Fort Robins, be-
ing under cover Of the highwaymens

RoUa02o THE CURVE.

a Terrible Collision Between Heavy
Loaded Freight Trains--Four Men
Killed.
MICHIGAN CRY, IND, Jan. 13-A
terrible collision occurred yesterday on
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, near Ca.
bourn, a small station two and a BIZ II
miles west Of Aida, whereby one IN
gineer and three firemen we've killed
outright. The trains colliding were
both heavily loaded freights, the east
bound being a double-beaded, while the
w%est-bound was in tow Of a monster
locomotive known as Comeback"
The train in charge of this engineer
should have stopped at Aida for Or
ders. but the engineer and fireman, 1t
Is alleged. were both asleep and ran to
the crossing at a high rate Of speed and
continued on the down grade to the
dreadful calamity which awaited them.
Both trains were on a down grade, and
rounded the curve at the same time,
going at the rate Of twenty-five miles
an hour. The result was that
three engines and twenty cars
OF merchandise and live stock we're
heaped into an unacceptable mass.
This caught fire and burned iercely
for some time. The engineer Of the
west bound train was found with his
head split from crown to neck, and his
face fell forward upon his breast,
while his brains were scattered about.
One fireman became penned in be-
tween pieces OF the wreck, and was
suspended by his head until he was
literally roasted to death, A second
fireman was cut entirely in two, and
the dism embered parts Of the body
were found some distance apart. The
third was badly injured and died a few
minutes afterwards. The other two
engineers escaped by jumping. 1t is
said the crew of the "Camelback" train
were exhausted from overwork, having
been on the road forty-elght hours.
The extreme reticence Of the Balti-
more & Ohio management prevented
the obtaining of the names Of the
killed and wounded men.

Jefferson Davis Singing Reply to
an Anonymous Correspondent.

Jefferson Davis Singing Reply to
an Anonymous Correspondent.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Jan. 8.-Some
one recently mailed to Jefferson Davis.
at his home Beauvour, Miss, a paper
headed "a Summary" containing the
following paragraph:
"Bendict Arnold, first traitor to
American liberty, learned his patrio-
tism in Hiram Masonic Lodge
No. l., New Haven, Conn, ard
died a Free Mason in good
and regular standing; Aaron Burr,
another traitor to the Government,
plotted his treason in Royal Arch
cipher, and also died a free and ac-
cspted Mason in good regular stand
ing; Jefferson Davis, a free and ac.
cepted Mason, led the great rebellion,
and the fact did not even faint his
Masonic standing, but did have much
to do in securing his pardon
Mr.. Davis inclosed the sheet to his
friend, Col. j. L. Powers, Of Jackson,
Miss, Secretary of the Grand Lodge
Of Mississippi Masons, with the fol
lowing:
DEAR SIR--I have received, with
others of a similar character, the ia
closed sheet, having a paragraph I'M
derlined to secure my attention, and l
send it to you to attract your notice.
Under the head Summary" is a con-
csntrated distillation of malice and
~mendacity. The main attack seems to
be against the fraternity Of Free and
Accepted Masons, and as many Sian
derers have heretofore done, the writer
ayails himself of a sectional prejudice
existing against me to point his attack
against Freemasonry, and in less than
three UNDERSIGNED lines perpetrates at
least as many falsehoods.
/. l, Jefferson Davis, I'm not and
never have been a Free and Accepted
Mason.
2. AS a citizen of the sovereign
State of Mississippi, 1 obeyed her com
mands. and as sovereigns cannot
"rebel," neither led mol followed a re-
beliion, great or smalll
3. AS | had no Masonic standing,
Sthe assertion that it was not tainted
by the imputed act of mine, rests not
upon a fact. bat upon a misrepresenta'
ton.
4. Masonry could not have had such
to do with securing my pardon, as |
have never been pardoDed, or applied
fof a pardon, or appealed to Masonry
to secure to me the benefit of the writ
Of habeas corpus, that I might have
the Constitutional right of every
American citizen to be confronted
with n y accusers.
TO exclude u possible inference, l
will add that my father was a Mason,
and l was reared to regard the frater-
nifty with respect aud have never
felt any disapproval of it other than
that which pertains to every secret So
ciety. Viewing Freemasonry from
a distance, and Judging the tree by its
fruits, l have believed it to bein itself
GOOD. Respectfully and truly yours,
o(Signed) JEFFERSON DAVIS.

of a frecr coinage.

"Silver," says he, land especially frac-
tionaf silver is the money Of the PEG

chases with silver, and there is nc
reason why the value Of a silver dollar
should depend upon its relation to
gold any more than the value of a
gold double eagle should depend upon
its relation to silver

JOLIET, ILL, JAM 13.-The sheriff
of johnson county, Wyoming, arrived
here last evening with gang Of Ter
ritorial convicts, consisting Of cowboys
and Indians. The ~convicts were heav
lily ironed, and hadlworn their shackles
constantly since starting for Joliet a
week ago. Their arrival caused quite
a sensation, and they stepped from the
cars headed by two powerful-look;ng
Arapahoe Indians, bound together by
log chains and heavy leg irons. The
two Indians are both young men. ex-
cellent specimens of their tribe. fully
six feet high. and with w hair
that hang half way down their backs.
The sheriff explained that the Indians
we're convicted Of stealing beef in the
mountains, near the Buffalo agency,
the penalty of which is from one to
ten years in the penitentiary. It is
said the Indiansin the Arapahoe agen-
cy are in starving condition, owing to
the small amount of supplies fur
nished by the Government. These two
Indians were actually in a starving
condition when they killed the beef.
Although they had the sympathy Of
everyone at the agency, they were Civ
en- a year for the crime. Their names
are " Beaver" and Samuel, the former
being the son Of the head chief Of the
Arapahoes.

NEW YoRK, Jan. ia special to
the World from Long Branch says the
entire coast, from Seabright to Manas-
quen. is piled with loose corn from the
wreck of the schooner Mary Fair,
which went ashore during Saturdays
storm, at Spring Lake. The sea is full
of the golden grain, and every wave
that rolls upon the beach is yellow with
corn. Farmers from theinterior have
locked to the shore and are carting off
the grain in wagons, no attempt being
made to restrain them and long lines of
heavily-loaded wagons were, az night
fall, proceeding homeward through the
back country roads. The entire shore
is lined with "beach combers" and
human vulLures, who think a wreck a
God.send, and consider all treasure cast
up by the sea as public property. The

well as patrol duty, and every precau-
ton is being taken at stations to save
anything OF value cast up by the sea.

CHANGING THE C0ESTITU.
FION.

Almost every Congress is prolific in
the introduction Of amendments to the
Constitution. AS a general thing these
amendments die with the session at
which they were born. The Constitu-
ton Of the United States, it is reason
allie to say, will never again be amend
ed unless the country is visited by
some great public excitement or
interest. The thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments were the
~outgrowth, the result Of the war
between the States. 1t is safe to
predict that this country will never
again be visited by an internecine
war, and from such cause DO occasion
will arise for an amendment to the
Constitution. 1t requires some great
interest, some great excitement to
work up the people sufficiently to
secure amendments.
To amend the Constitution it re-
quiresa two-third vote of the Senate
and House, the approval of the Pres!-
dent, and afterward a ratification by a
majority of the people in three-fonrths
of the States. 1t is a long and tedious
process.
Two proposed amendments have
been introduced during the present
St ssion of Congress. One by Judge
Payson which permits the President
to veto special items in general ap-
preparation bills.
As matters now stand If a job
is smmuggled into a general
appropriation bill, the President can
not defeat the measure by his veto,
without mourning, oftentimes, the ex-
pense and danger of an extra session.
Had the President the authority to
veto special items, he could guard
against e%xtravagant and useless exptn-
diture of the public money.
The other proposed amendment is
also an important one 1t is proposed
by Mr.. Matson, of Indiana, and pro.
vides for the election of all postmast-
ers by the people, If such were the
law it would take out Of the hands OF
the President and Postmaster General
upwards Of $4,000 appointments, and
would make that especial service non
partisan; because Democrats and Re-
publicans would be made postmasters
Of their respective towns, according tc
the will of the people. AT present
and for years the Postoffice Depart.
ment is and has been a great political
machine. The power Of the Post
master General to control elections ant
influence Conventions, if he so wishes
is greater than that Of any other Officer
Of the General Government.
Gen. Weaver, of Iowa, who has the
reputation Of being the author of more
bills and resolutions than any othel
member of the House, wants to reor
ganize the finances Of the country, ant
to establish a Labor Bureau at Wash
ington, the head of which will have
seat in the Cabinet. But his wild
est proposition is to have thu
members Of the United StateI
Senate elected directly by thu
people. Were such a reform possible
there is no doubt of the election of
better class Of Senators, and it Woul(
have much 10 do in keeping man!
millionaires, who have no other rec
ommendation, from purchasing seat
in that body. AS theregare a humble,
Of millionaire in the Senate it is SAT-
to say they willnot support a proposi
ton that would make their own re
election forever impossible.

Strong Jealousy Always Existed

ShiOIl6 SS2lOASy AtWayS GAlobOA
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. l3.-Mr. o.
car Greenbaum, Of this city, states he
has received a letter from his brother.
Mr.. G"reenbaum, the American consul
at Samoa, in which the latter says he
has constantly warned the United
States government of his fears that
Germany intended taking possession
of the islands. The letter states that
strong jealousy always existed be-
tween former consuls in the desire of
each to protect conflicting commercial
interests of their countrymen. This
jealousy was intensified between the
German and American consuls from
the fact that the latter was German
American. The primary cause Of
this ill-feeIiDg was found in the fact
that American merchants have Of late
years been cutting into the German
trade at the islands. The American
coGsul in his letter gave it at his opin-
ion that the annexation of the Samoan
islands by Germany would be a death
blow 10 all other foreign interests
there.
