The Lind Lava.

DR.. Holman reported to the house his bill
providing for a suspension of the land laws
with an amendment and favorable recon-
mendation. AS amended the bill read as
follows:
That all laws providing for the disposal of
the public lands, except the homestead laws
and the laws in relation to mineral lands
and the laws touching the selection of pub
lie lands by states for educational purposes,
shall be suspended until the pending legisla-
ton affecting the public lands shall be dis
posed OF or the present congress shall adj
journ. Provided, however, that section
2,3O1 of the revised statutes and all laws in
relation to the entry of coal lands shall be
suspended during the period named. That
during the tendency of the measures now
before congress in relation to the forfeiture
OF certain lands heretofore granted by CON
gress to railroad corporations and thereafter,
no act done or performed by any such cor
poration shall in any wise enlarge the right
or claim of any such corporation to any
lands covered by any such grant or diminish
any right now existing in the United States
to declare the forfeiture thereof. This pro-
vision shall not be construed to in any wise
affect or diminish or waive any right now ex-
listing in behalf of the United States to de-
clare the forfeiture of any of the lands en-
braced in such grant.

off the field to the martial notes of both bands

SAD ACCIDENT.
The sham battle was marked by only one
accident, though that was sad indeed. Paul
Mitch, a young artilleryman from the fort,
suffered the loss of his right hand and wrist.
The accident occurred during the thick OF the
fight, and was due either to insufficient
sponging of the piece. or to the fact that
the man holding the vent let his
thumb slip, allowing the air to
enter. The piece was prematurely discharged,
tearing off Mitch's right hand, mangling the
arm fearfully and breaking the thumb of his
companion. The two men were in the act OF
reloading the gun. The ambulance was called
into service and the wounded man removed
to the Jobbers' Union building where Dr..
Murphy, who acted as surgeon general,
bandaged the wounded arm, the man display
ing wonderful nerve. He was removed to st.
Joseph's hospital where DR.. Hoyt amputated
the forearm four inches above the wrist. de

by powder.

Foreign Cuttings.

Capt. Van Gele, who has just returned to

that he believes he himself is the man des-

to have been seen in the Bahr-el-Ghazel dis

Disastrous Fire at Washburn.

siding, twenty-five miles south of Mansfield,
Ohio, and collided with a freight train on
the siding. The mail car, followed age in all
directions. The two coaches contained no
passengers nearly all returning from the en-
campment at Columbus. The hot water and
steam from the boiler pouredinto the coaches
