William Hamlink, convict at the
penitentlary, was caught in one of the
polishing machines yesterday morning
and whirled around and around, it is
thought bet ween 200 and 800 times,
breaking his left arm above the elbow
and left leg above the knee. A leather
apron which he was wearing in some
manner caught in the machine and
dragged him IN. HIS body was fear
fully bruised and cut and his feet
smashed. The doctors fixed him up,
but it is thought he will lose his leg as
the bone was broken into splinters. If
he lives 1t will be because he has a
powerful constitution. Hamlink is ls
years old and was sent from Pierre
year ago for grand larceny and has
another year to serve.-tSiou1 Falls

The afternoon and evening Of the
Sd a heavy storm of wind, rain and
hail passed over this section of Sully
and southern Potter counties. About
daylight Monday morning lightning
struck the barn of the Lowery Bros,
burning it, together with seven head
of horses, all the harnesses, some farm
ing tools and buggy. The loss is
estimated at $1,000, in which the
McNulty boys shared. The horses
burned were of the most valuable they
owned. Nearly every window was
broken by the hail in John Lowery's
house. A few miles farther south the
hail stones are reported as being much
larger.-Farmington Cor. Journal.
Andrew McFall, Esq, left tor
Huron, Wednesday, to get the money
due him on loan made through Clerk
of Court Lynch and n. ID. Walllng of
Huron, last October, if such was
possible His is one of number of
cases that have been pending" since
last fall, and supposed to have been
delayed on account of closeness of the
money market in the east This spring,
however, Mr. McFah was the recipient
of notice informing him of interest
due and that foreclosure proceedings
would be commenced at once if not
paid This was news to him. He had
received no money and was unaware
of his Indebtedness. On investigation
he found the money due him had been
paid to Walling over two months ago
and by him placed in the general
fund" whatever that is, hence his visit
to Huron. There are others being
similarly dealt with and it is hoped
that Mr.. M. will get his money and
expose the crookedness wherever he
finds it.

week storms of nall, cyclones, etc, in
addition to rain in excess of Dakota S
quota. While The Press is far from
rejoicing over disaster to any state, il
cannot help feeling pleased that the
ammunition of its rivals has been SO
thoroughly soaked as to leave no
cartridge that can be fired at Dakota s
fair fame.-E1.

man. Loring Farr for plaintiff, Brown 4
johnson for defendant. This is a bill in
equity brought to compel the defendant to
assign to the plaintiff certain interest in a
mortgage on a stock of drugs in Waterville
and to receive damages for failure to make
the assignment The plaintiff claims that
the defendant had the mortgage in question,
secured by three notes; that when the first
note Of 500 became due the mortgagor was
unable to pay, and that he, the plaintiff by
an understanding with the defendant in their
case, paid the note in consideration of which
he was to receive an assignment of so much
of the mortgage as was equitable. He also
claims that the defendant not only proposed
to carry out this agreement to transfer, but
foreclosed the mortgage and took possession
and disposed of the stock. The defence in a
denial of the alleged agreement to transfer
and claim that the note paid by plaintiff
was matter wholly between him and the
mortgagor. The case was tried before the
Judge without the Intervention Of the jury.
The testimony and arguments were closed
and the Judge reserved his decision.
The jury was discharged until Monday,
and tomorrow will be occupied by the court
in the examination of can1idates for admis-
sion to the bar.

LET ARBITRATION PREVAIL" :"
The Sentiment of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers.

CHICAGO, march y.
The attitude of the Brotherhood at this
juncture, said Chief Arthur. this afternoon,
is practically identical with this statement,
which has appeared most opportunely. Mr.,
Arthur held in his hand the following, clipped
from the Morning Chicago Tribune, which
has heretofore opposed the stand taken by
the Burlington engineers
"Let arbitration prevail. Now that
there is danger of the trouble
between the engineers of the Brotherhood
and the Burlington road extending to other
lines and inheting untold injury on com
mcrce in the west ii is time to renew the in
qury whether this entire difficulty cannot be
spec div, fairly aud peaceably settled by ar
bitration. The locomotive engineers claim
that the question at issue relates mainly
to the payment on the Burlington line, the
rate of wages allowed on other first class
lines for like services. while the railroad
officials as persistenty assert that the disput-
ed points relate to the discipline and control
of the employees. Ii the question were
simply one of wages it would seem no rea-
son why the Burlington road, with its great
business and profits should not pay its engls
neers for equal services, as much az any
other road similarly situated. On the other
hand if the system of classification and
graded pay contributes IN any degree to re-
ward individual merit and gives promotion to
men displaying skill and fidelity, il should
be retained
The question then, is this, does this issue
between the brotherhood and the railroads
relate merely to pay or to the discipline of
scryices That certainly is fair question OF
arbitration aud can be determined on careful
inquiry by the boar, of arbitrators in man
ner lust to both parties. Let a resort be
made to arbitration and the threatened injury
to business be ayerted. Something must be
done to protect the public from injury in
hjcted hy railroad strikes and b,ockades.
Nov" said Arthur 1.-THE point is that the
brotherhood is aud has been ready to submit
the whole matter to three disinterested per-
sons for settlement.

ENGLAND'S FINANCES.
Goschen Has Scheme to Pay Her
Debt.

LONDON, March ..
In the House of Commons today, Goschen,
chancellor of the exchequer, submitted a
proposal to tighten the country's financial
burden. The time for bold scheme for
the conversion Of the debt, he said, has ar
rived. Without anticipating the budget, he
had the balance to face any financial opera
ton necessary. He didn't fear that foreign
complications would interfere with the sue
cess of his plan. He proposed that Parlia-
ment keep the power to pay off dissentents
at such periods and in such manner as Par
Lament might determine. He would take
2 l-2 per cent. as an indication of the credit
of the country, which the government were
bound to utilize in order to secure to the tax
payers some advantage. A system of grad
ual reduction of interest with each stage,
guaranteed for certain number of years,
would be most successful.
