at is my belief, from the way that things
are shaping themselves, that they will lie
low until they can get the best OF the new
engineers and firemen on the Burlington

them to strike for the same wages that the
old men demanded. The readiest men to
strike are those who have taken the strik-

General Badeau's statement His
Work on the ..Grant Memoirs


Work on the Grant Memoirs
NEW YORK, March 2O.-The Sun
will tomorrow publish General Adam
Badeau's version of the controversy which
has arisen between himself and Grants
family in regard to the claim Badeau makes
for compensation for services to General
Grant in the preparation of his Personal
Memoirs" The statement is addressed
'tO the American public" and fills several
columns of the Sun. Badeau defends his
position and is severe in his structures on
the course pursued by Colonel Fred Grant
in the matter. He tells how much time and
hard, unremitting labor he gave to the
work. and how his own book, on which he
had spent sixteen years, was injured by
the success of that of General Grant
which he also took many pains to make
perfect. II did not write the original mat
ter" said he, land in that sense did not
compose the book. The thoughts were
General Grants, and in most cases the
original draft of the language, but sug
gested much. l told him when TO insert
descriptions of scenes, where to place an
account of n character, how TO elaborate
the picture Of a battle. etc. l dis
cussed his statements and the advisa-
bility of his expressions Of opinion, and
often persuaded him to change the one OF
modify the other. broke up sentences,
softened or, heightened effects. l corrected
grammar, and all with the knowledge and
sanction of General Grant. l always sought
to preserve his sympathy, directness and
even ruggedness OF language-never to be-
tray my own share in the work. He had
no idea whatever OF building up a chapter
or book, or of treating them so as to read
up to point or to make a complete picture
of an argument.
"But the book could no: have been made
what it is without me. There was no one
else who had both my peculiar knowledge
of the theme and literary quality. There
was no one else whom he would have al
lowed TO do what did, but he kn,w how
loved him and how devoted l was TO his
fame, and he trusted all tn me. | would
not have told what am writing now IL it
had not been extorted from me by the i'm
putations referred to by his SON.
Badeau claims that the letter CT dismissal
was in the handwriting of Fred Grant,
with the exception of the signature.

A man died of mysterious COM
plant in a Denver hospital last week and
an autopsy showed peculiar condition of

gone and the stomach and portion of the
bowels were found to occupy the left chest,
while the heart had moved to the right side
OF the chest. Tho stomach was also en-
larged TO about four times its usual size.
The case is remarkable one and will be

Murder and Suicide.

A terrible tragedy was committed
near Denver Monday morning in which
two men were killed and one was wounded.
Charles Schweichart reached Denver on
an early morning train and was driven TO
the Washington Spring House, a small
hotel in the outskirts of the town, managed
by his divorced wife. Entering the house
he ordered her to prepare him breakfast,
and when she hesitated he drew his revol-
yer and fired three shots at her, none of
which, however, took effect
The firing aroused the other irmates Of
the house, two Of whom, George Kreiner
and a man named Rehm. rushed into the
room. No sooner had they entered the
room tnan the infuriated fiend. maddeped
at his failure TO kill the woman, turned his
muTderous weapon upon them. The first
shot entered the forearm of Kreiner and
crushed through TO the collar bone, telling
the victim 20 the floor. While he lay pros
trate the wretch stood over him and delib-
erately sent another ball crashing through
his brain. Another bullet was sent after
Rehm and caught him in the arm before he
could get beyond the reach of his assAiant.
Schweichart made no attempt to pursue
for fresh victims. None were to DE found
save his terrified wife who was flying for
protection toward the hack which had
brought him from the depot Hastily
catching up his rifle which stood on the
porch he sent three lesden missiles after
her, all of which struck the carriage but
missed the woman. BY this time the driver
had lashed his horses out of range of the
bullets and the bafiled man again entered
the house. Finding no more victims on
whom TO vent his deyilish rage he sought
his wifc's bedroom aud, putting the revol-
yer to his head, deliberately blew out his
own brains.
George Kreiner, the murdered man, was

manufacturer of picked goods. He was u

and his wife and never before had the
former shown any jealousy.
From letters found on the person,of the sui

Death OF Chief Justice Waite.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March %. -
Chief Justice Waite died at his residence in
this city at 6 10 O'Clock this morning.

reading and then returned to his home.

in the expression of his ia ce, until 6

on his back and in ten minutes was dead.
At the beginning of his illness Chief JUS

wife, who was on her way to California, in
company with an invalid sister, cautioned
those about him to keep his condition from
the newspapers. He was n OF alarmed him.

should be curtailed or .interiered with by
his slight indisposition.
The President, when informed of the
death of the Chief Justice, was very much
shocked, although aware that Mr..
Waite had been in bad health for
some time. Quite an intimacy had
sprung up between the two officials since
the Presidents term began, and the latter
has often been heard to express himself in
terms Of the highest praise Of the Chief
Justices character and ability.
The President at once wrote a letter to
Mrs. Waite expressing his deep sympathy

self but great loss to the public service.
1t is the intention Of the members of the
family to have the interment take place at
Toledo, the old residence of the Chief Jus.
tice, unless Mrs. Waite should signify a
different desire. In case the interment
takes place there it is probable that the re-
mains will leave here on Wednesday or
Thursday next for Ohio, the purpose being
to have Mrs. Waite meet the funeral train
at Toledo on her return from Californis.

Through n TrestIe.

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 1.-THE
first section of the fast mail train from
New York for Jacksonville, went through
the trestle at point tseventy-fve miles south
of Savannah this morning. The entire
train, except the engine Is demolished.
Nineteen people are reported to have been
killed and between thirty and forty In
jured, ten of whom are expected to die.
The private car of President Wilbur of the
Lehigh Valley road, with Mr.. Wilbur and
George Gould and wife and others in it,
was one of the train. President Wilbur is
reported to be seriously injured. George
Gould Is unhurt and Mrs. Gould is slightly
injured.
The accident YVES caused by broken
rail under the baggage car. The baggage
car got off the track about a quarter of
mile before it reached the bridge at the Hur-
ricane river. The baggage car mounted
the track, but the train passed safely over
the bridge. Immediately on the other
side of the bridge there is trestle several
hundred feet in length. When the baggage
car struck the trestle work it gave way
and the entire train, with the exception
of the engine, dropped through, and with
the exception of one car, was completely
wrecked.
The train consisted of combination car
three baggage cars, smoking car, one coach
two Pullman sleepers and the private car Of
the Lehigh Valley.
The second engine ran to Blackshear, a
mile distant, for assistance. Soon all the
physicians in the place were present, be-
sides many who were ready to render assis-
tance in getting out the dead and rescuing
the wounded. Superintendent Fleming, of
the railroad as soon as he heard of the
accident left Savannah for the scene of the
accident with physicians and nurses. All
the afternoon and evening he had a full
force of hands clearing away the wreck.
About 400 feet of trestle was carried away.

Rounds vs.. Rothncker.

OMAHA. Neb., March 20.-A very
sensational! petition was fled in the County
Court to-day by Mrs. S. p. Rounds asking
that o. II. Rothacker be removed as guard
ian OF Ills two children.
The petition alleges that during the past
three yearsRothscker has been incapable of
supporting himself and has been much of
the time an habituel drunkard: that he
treated his wife with extreme cruelty and
has no love for his children; that in Au-
gust, 1883, he brutality assaulted his wife,
making her seriously III, and has continued
TO DO so at short intervals since their mar
riage.
That, on the occasion OF the birth of the
first child, he was in a drunken condition,
and two days thereafter he went to his wife's
room and demanded that she prepare sup
per for him, and she being unable to do so
he became violent and pulled the clothes OF
her bed, abusing her with violent language
and oaths.
On tie occasion of the birth OF the sec
ond child he WAS entirely Indifferent to his
wite's condition, and while residing at the
Millard Hotel he assaulted and choked her
so that she was compelled to take TO her
bed.
That while endcavoring TO protec. her
child from said Rothacker he seized her
with brutal force, threw her down, where
upon she tainted: that this caused sudden
relapse from which she never recovered
and died within two weeks thereafter; that
during her illness he left the city, leaving
a note for his wife which read: "a shall
never come back
Many other allegations OF like nature
are contained In the petition. The case
