VERY SENSATIONAL INCIDENT.

CHICAGO, Oct GA sensational Incl
dent happened today at the funeral ser
vices of c. 5. Squire, who was assistant
after having worked his way up from
errand boy in the postal service. Mr.
Squire was reduced some time ago to a
chief clerkship and subsequently sus-
pended. His friends claim he died of a
broken heart. The funeral took place
with high Masonic honors in Emmanuel
Baptist church, one of the most prominent
congregations in the city. The church
was crowded to OVERLOOKING. DR.. Larimer
pronounced the eulogy and his eloquence
had already greatly wrought the audience
when he said: Il see in the dead before me
the arraignment Of civil service | think
as he lies there that he declares the failure
of the system. Our ideal is still beyond
our intellect, nor will justice and
purity prevail IN civil service I'M
I'll preferment shall be given
upon scale OF talent and
fitness" There was moment of silence
and then the big church rang with unre-
sisted outbursts of applause The Knights
Templars and plain business men alike
excitedly shouted approval notwithstand-
ing the sacred surroundings and the pres
ence of the dead DR.. Lorimer besought
order saying, Not here: not here, " but adj
ding had this loved and lovable man his
just deserts he would still be actively
among US or we would have been mourn
ing for the dead postmaster Of Chicago
and not clerk OF the registry depart
ment." So intense was the agitation OF
the audience that it was with difficulty
the church could be cleared.

JAIL REFORM NEEDED.
A Minister Describes the Sights in the
Washington Prison

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The Rev. Will
liam Il. Parson, Of the church of the Re
formation, Iutheran). presented statistics
III his prison Sunday" sermon which pic
tured the deplorable condition of the ma
TONS capital city from a criminal point of
view. He said that he had visited the
fifteen persons confined there who
We're charged with murder, and since
that time two or three more had been
added. Passing along the cells in which
the fifteen muTderers were confined he was
struck with several facts: /. That they
were all men. p That fourteen out of the
fifteen were colored. 3. That they were
all young. 4. That they did not appear to
be men naturally vicious. There were on
the day of his visit 2l2 persons con
fined in the jail only twenty eight of
whom were women, and of the whole
only twenty light were white. In making
these comparisons he called attention to
the fact that the best figures obtainable as
to population in the District of Columbia
gave one colored person to two white.
During further hastv estimates be showed
that one in every 400 of the colored popu-
lation Of Washington found his way to
the jail against one in each $500 of the
white.
The saddest sight witnessed by Dr. Par
son. and one upon which he dwelt at
length and with much force, was the con-
finement in criminal cells of boys between
the ages Of % and IA years. He argued
that there was something radically wrong
in the system Of punishment which
locked up boy y years old with
a grown and hardened criminal. and
urged the necessity of better reform school
accommodations, which would at least
spare children from the Jail, where locked
into small cell they cried for their moth
ers Respecting this he said II can not
sit still and allow that to occur without a
protest which shall be heard by our
commissioners and by our CON
gressmen, who surely may take a
little of the peoples money to prevent
such a shame. Here in this nineteenth
century, IN the capital OF Christian ma
ton. we must confess that the only thing
we can do with a boy no higher than this
pulpit is to lock him in narrow cell. We
ought to do better by the boy than that OK
confess our civilization a failure. Sitting
Bull would be able to do better than that

lOWA'S DlSTLlERY CASE

Dies MONIES, Oct. 22.-The supreme
courts decision in the case of Iowa VS..
Kidd, or against the International distil-
lery, of which he is owner at this place.
was received with much interest. 1t prac-
tically makes no difference in the status of
the distillery and would not if it had been
the reverse, for since this litigation was
begun the legislature has passed Law
that has closed all distllleres and brewer
les by forbidding manufacture for any
purpose. Consequently there is not dis
tillery or brewery running in the state,
and this particular distillery has been
closed since April, 1887, when it sold its
capacity TO the western distillers' pool. 1t
was closed by order of the pool. The
point of this decision affected the old law
which permitted manufacture flor certain
purposes the state claiming that the Kidd
distillery had violated the law and so il
should be closed by an injunction. which
was issued by the district court in this
city; but the distillery claimed that 50
long as its product was exported the state
could not interfere. That position is NOT
sustained by the United States supreme
court. But last winter the Legislature
passed new law forbidding all manufac-
ture of liquor, and that law would have
closed the distillery even then had the de
:ision gone the other way. In effect this
decision sustains the new law and renders
unnecessary any test case under it.

w q. T. II. CONVENTION.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22-When the national
convention of the Women's Christian
Temperance union resumed its business
session in the Metropolitan opera house
this morning, the great building was
crowded in every part by women of all
ages, and many gentlemen, all especially
interested in the proceedings, because to
day had been fixed for the annual election
of officers. A somewhat acrid debate was
caused shortly after the session was
opened by the president, Miss Frances
e. Willard, ruling in reply to question
by delegate, that delegates must vote
according to their own convictions, and
not be governed by the sentiments of their
constituents. Mrs. Aldrich, of Iowa, the
delegate who had raised the question,
made an attempt to appeal from the rul-
ings of the chair, but failed.
An amendment to the constitution,
making the private secretary Of the presl-
dent and the associate editreSs of the
Union Signal members of the convention,
gave rise to another sharp discussion in
which Mrs J. Ellen Foster, took lively
part, opposing the amendment. The
"a. Mrs. Fosters opposition was directed
against the Union Signal which has
severely criticised Mrs. Foster.
Mrs. LeonOra Barry, of Pennsylvania,
the feminine organizer of the Knights of
Labor and wife of Secretary Barry, who
recently withdrew from the Knights of
Labor was introduced to the convention.
She made brief address, declaring the
Knights of Labor and the Women's
Christian Temperance union were united
closely by bonds of sympathy, and SINH
laritY of purpose.
The Rev Joseph Cook, of Boston, was
another of the visitors today.
Voting for officers for the ensuing year
began shortly before noon. Miss
Frances E. Willard was re
elected president, receiving 800 votes
out of total of 391, Mrs. Ellen Foster re-
six votes. Caroline Bull was
elected corresponding secretary, receiving
364 votes of 39S cast Mrs Mary A. Wool
bridge was elected recording secretary, re-
ceiving 354 votes of 3S2 cast.

PROFILE VS.. RAILROAD.
Winnipeg Citizens Angered at the Course
of the Canadian Pacific

WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 22.-The local
government here recently granted to a
local railroad company right of way across
the line of the Canadian Pacific six miles
west of here. The Canadian Pacific
company disputed the right to cross
their tracks and blocked the proposed
intersection by sidetracking a loco
motive at the disputed point. It also Sc
cured an injunction restraining the new
company from prosecuting its work pend
ing an appeal to the privy council.
Public feeling in the matter became
very bitter against the Canadian Pacific
and yesterday some four hundred citizens
proceeded to the disputed. point with
the intention of forcing crossing
notwithstanding the order of the
court. The Canadian Pacific people were
notified and by the use Of a special
train managed to get two or three
hundred armed workmen to the scene pre-
pared to defend their property. The citi-
zens were overawed by this display of force
and withdrew before any collision took
place.
1t is feared that another demonstration
will be made tomorrow and that serious
results will follow, and the military de-
partment at Ottawa was notified of pros
posal of the magistrates here to call out
troops to quell the threatened trouble.

with excursionists returning from the

ton of that district by land slide, con-
sisting of about fifty meters OF rock. The
telegraph line being broken by the fall of
rock, help was delayed two hours. The

ty corpses have been taken from the wreck.
There .are two cars buried beneath the
rock and it is certain that the list OF the
dead will be increased.
Two carriages inwhich were thirty carabi-
neers sustained no damage. The carabi-
neers were able to assist in eXtricating the
victims. All the officials attached to the
train were killed 1t is estimated that 200,-
900 cubic metres of earth fell upon the line.
Many of the passengers who escaped with
their lives left the scene Immediately after
the accident. 1t is therefore impossible as
yet to tell the exact number of the killed
ROME, Oct PA despatch from Poten-
"a says that there were 400 passengers on
the train which was crushed by the land
slide. One hundred and fifty dead and
wounded have been identified. Many of
the victims are unknown. An entire the

who has been driven mad by the catastro-
phe, refused to be released from her grasp

THE LEHIGH DISASTER.
The Coroner's Jury Renders Verdict OF
Gross Negligence on Part of Trainmen.

MAUCH CHUNK. Pa, Oct. 22.-After
three days session the coroner's jury
which has been investigating the recent &C
cident on the Lehigh Valley road at Mud
Run, by which SO many lives were lost,
reached the following verdict to-day:
eve find that the engineers OF locomo-
tives 452 and 466 of the seventh section
were guilty of gross negligence: First, in
failing to discover the red signal in time,
the evidence clearly showing that this sig
nal was in full view as their train ap-
preached A; and secondly, for not approach
ing the station under full contro!
as required by both the general and special
orders. The occurrence shows that the air
brakes of the entire seventh section were
under the control of the engineer of loco
motive 466 and that he could have stopped
the train in spite of the locomotive ahead,
No 452 We find that the lookout men of
locomotives 452 and 400 were guilty of
gross negligence in failing to report to
their respective engineers the red light at
the station as the train approached. The
men were placed on their respective en-
gines as an additional precaution, their
special duty being to look out for signals.
The lookout man on ASP failed to see the
signal The other one on 466 testified that
he saw it when about 1900 feet from the
station, and yet he reported 'all right" to
his engineer and claims that he did not
think the red light meant anything, as
nobody used it.
We find that the rear brakeman of the
sixth section was guilty of gross negleg-
ence for when his train stopped, instead
of going promptly back the proper distance
to warn the approaching train, he stopped
at the station There was time enough
for him to have gone back nearly half
mile, but he went less than four hundeed
feet.
We find that the conductors of the two
sections failed to do their duty, the first in
to the rule requiring each con-
ductor to see personally that his brakeman
peotects the rear of his train, and the sec
ond in not requiring his train to approach
the station under control.
The coroner's jury in investigating the
recent railroad accident on the Lehigh
Valley railroad at Tamenend by which
eight persons were killed and several
others fatally injured, rendered verdict
today, charging the fagman with gross
negligence in not signalling the approach
ing train sooner and censuring the engi-
neer of the Pennsylvania freight train for
not keeping his train under control.
