Record of CauSaltieS.

An explosion occurred at Trobridge, Ohio,
in Stroll & Haman's feed mill. Just as they
were ready to start up Henry Haman
stepped up and turned on the steam, when
the boiler exploded, killing him and Albert
Kline, customer, who was standing near
lace Stroll and one boy were badly injured
and another boy slightly. Everything is
total wreck except the grinder.
The ferry boat Maryland of the New York
& New Haven railroad, which conveys cars
by water to other railroads, was burned to
the waters edge in the Harlem river near
New York, together with two Pullman ears,
two ordinary coaches an accommodation
car. There were twenty-four passengers
in the cars at the time of the fire, but they
were rescued as well as the boat and train
hands.
Lake Shore freight train of thirty-fve
box cars was run into by switch engine of
the Nickel Plate road near Grand Crossing.
Both engines and several cars were damaged
to the extent of $780, The tracks of the
two roads run parallel and are connected by
switches, one of which was left open by the
accident, and Michigan Central passenger
train was transferred thereby to the Nickel
Plate track, collidng with the wreck before
it could be checked. Fortunately the passen-
ger train was running only about fifteen
miles an hour.
Chicago was startled by a terrific explosion
which occurred at the oat meal works of
David Oliver, situated at Halstead an d Full
ton streets, and was caused by the bursting
of boiler, or at least Such is supposed to
have been the cause. The building was CON-
pletely demolished, and small building near
by, occupied as a saloon and residence was
blown down by the concussion. The family
escaped without serious injury. The mill
was running at the time, and there were sup
posed to be half dozen men employed about
the premises. Not one of these are to be
found, and whether they were all killed or
ran away cannot be learned. The dana ge
is abont $25, 900. Insuranceno known.

negotiations looking to the assimilation and
unity of the people OF the Dominion of Cana
da and the United States under one govern
ment, such unity and assimilation to be
based upon the admission of the several
provinces of the dominion or any one of them
into the union of states upon the same terms
and equality with the states now composing
the union, and the assumption by the United
States of the indebtedness of the Dominion
.of Canada, or a just proposition thereof. and
such other equitable terms and conditions
rs justice to the high contracting parties
may demand.
Resolved. That, with view to such negotia-
tion. the president invite the appointment
of commissioners by the government OF
Great Britain and the Dominion of Canada
to consider the wisdom and expediency of
settling all controversies and difference which
now exist between the two governments,
growing out of the fisheries or otherwise by
such union and assimilation as is herein
before suggested, either as to the whole or
any province of several provinces of said
dominion, such negotiations to be conducted
with due regard to the amicable relations
which obtain between Great Britain and the
United States and the obligations imposed
thereby.

Outrages of Ohio White CAPS.

Fresh outrages on the part of masked men
in the vicinity of Toledo show that the White
Caps are organized and working to a pur-
pose. man named Martin, living q few
miles from Bowling Green, Wood county, re-
ceived notice early in the week that if he did
not go to work and support his family he
would meet punishment at the hands of
"WOod county vigilantes." Martin paid no
attention to the notice, and one evening, as
he started for home in an intoxicated condi-
ton, he was seized by band of masked men
and taken into the woods. A rope was tied
around his neck and one end thrown over a
limb. He began to pray. Twice the men cut
the prayer short by drawing their victim up
until he dangled in the air. Then they strip
ped him. tied him to a tree and applied beech
switches until his back was a mass of bleed
ing flash. His clothes were then replaced
and he was taken home; where he now lies
sick. A few nights ago a man named Miller,
living at Liepsic, received notice similar to
the one sent Martin. He paid no attention
to it, thinking it was a practical joke by
some of his neighbors but learned of his mis-
take too late. He was visited early in the
week by White Caps, taken from the house
and numerically lashed At Fostora. no
tices were posted q week ago, and when they
were torn down by those to whom they were
directed, Others were sent. General notices,
addressed ''To Whom 1t May Concern" were
tackled OH the trees in front of ex-Gov. Fos-
ter's residences, and the yards of other
prominent citizens. For ten days the things
were regarded as a great hoax, and every
one ridiculed the idea of White Caps visiting
Fostoria. Recently band of men mounted
and equipped in White Cap outfit dashed
through the town. An attempt was made
to follow them, but they scattered and were
soon lost in a dense forest few miles from
the town. While there is no danger of the
regulators doing any of their work within
the city limit they have already sent notices
to farmers living in adjacent townships.
Defiance, Napoleon, Perryburg and
Maumee have each been visited, although no
actual outrage was attempted. The skull
and cross bones, with the representation of
a bowie knife beneath, is favorite sign of
the order in this vicinity. 1t Napoleon q
notice bore the words, "God hates liars and
perjurers and adulterers. The White Cap
pers are the Lords chosen people to wreak
out his vengeance on the wicked and unjust"
The people are becoming much alarmed.

How the Emperor Looked

[ hear from Rome that the German
emperor only looks to advantage on
foot, writes a London correspondent.
He ''sits low," the backbone being
short. With this the legs are long.
His figure, therefore, is an ungrace
full one for riding, the knees advance
far towards the horses head, and the
legs and thighs forming an acute
angle. He has given up wine and
beer-drinking, does not eat much and
absorbs quantities of tea. His face
was drawn, and showed fatigue when
he was in Italy. Every morning and
evening packets ofpapers were placed
on desk in his sitting-room. He
glanced over all that was about him
self, and when he had done SO. para
graphs of which he was the subject
were cut out by a secretary and
pasted in scrap-book.

Edwin Dudley, an aged citizen, resid-

in a small shanty of u house and been
in such straitened circumstances ap-
parently, that his sons had frequently
aided him. Just before his death he
called one of his sons to his bedside
and told him that many years previ-
Gus he had placed $1,000 in gold,
which his father had made selling rum,
in horseshoe nail box and buried it
in the earth beneath the barn. Sub
sequently the barn was torn down
and the ground ploughed. The sons,
since the old gentleman died, have
been digging over the earth to find
the buried treasure, but at last ac-
counts were unsuccessful.

Here's a Good Word for the Girls.
Married and Single.

Springfield (O) News.
No man can know himself. Nor
has any man ever known a woman,
nor can a woman know herself. A
man will never understand that he
has within him the female element,
nor will woman learn that she has
within herself the male element.
Stevenson's 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
HYDE is a theoretic humbug. Man
is not composed of two men, but of
a male and female. Sometimes the
male in man is a devil; sometimes,
and oftener, the female in him is
angelic, and vice versa. One thing
is sure: Were it not that the civil
lizing feminine element or being ex-
lists in man lie would be a savage.
1t is the wife in him who is married
to him that makes him domestic,
q lover of children and
keeps him generally refined. But if
the woman within him be unrefined
that man is a brute.

A remarkable love affair has Just
come to light at Fort Davis, Tex, in
which a conductor on the Santa Fe
railroad is the hero. Some time ago
one of the sisters of charity in the
railroad hospital at Las Cruces, n.
NJ, aged twenty years, captivated the
heart of HI Savage, one of the most
competent conductors on this divis-
ion. He was lying sick in the hospital
and sister Alice tended him. The
romantic affair soon got abroad, and
the mother superior had Sister Alice
removed to La Junta. From there
she was sent to Peoria, ILL.,, Keokuk.
Ia, and finally to Davenport.
About two weeks ago Savage got
leave of absence, and started to find
his lady love. They met and were
married without delay.

the freight was running ut full speed when it
came in sight Of the former, just
above Reeds Landing at a sharp
curve, 1t was then to late to even check
the force OF the collision that followed, and
the trains came together with terrific
crash. The firemen of both trains jumped
on first seeing the danger, and the engineers
followed suit just before their engines struck
Sumner Brooks, the head brakeman, was in
stantly killed, his body being found four or
FIVE hours later under the tender of the
freight engine. Conductor Mede, of the ac-
commodation, received q severe spinal injury
in jumping, end the internal injury may
prove fatal. Harry Mckay. Il he paggageman.
and Conductor Nelson, Of the freight, were
slightly hurt, rs we're also the brakeman.
The injured men were taken TO Wabasha fol
medical treatment. The wreck was a bad
one. Both engines were thrown from the
track and rolled down the high embank-
ment. The passenger coaches were also de-
rallied, the combination cars somewhat
smashed. Eight loaded cars were
completely wrecked and their con.
tents scattered promiscuously about.
A special from Wabasha went up to
the scene at once and brought the passen-
gers back, The remains of Brooks, the dead
brakeman, were first taken to Wabasha and
later in the day to Minneapolis, where his

Proposed Union with Canada,

Representative Butterworth of Ohio is
very enthusiastic for commercial union be-
tween this country and Canada. He has
devoted much thought to this subject. and
has formed a definite plan by which he thinks
that this union can be accomplished. This
plan he has embodied in the following joint
resolutions which he introduced in the house
at Washington.
Whereas, The citizens of the dominion of
Canada are one with us in race, lineage, his
tory and tradition; and, whereas. the re-
sources of the two countries supplement each
other, and the arteries Of commerce, both nat
ural and artificial, are 80 interlocked and mu
tually dependent upon each other that they
ought to constitute n single system, to be one
and inseparable; and whereas, the commercial
relations between the United States and the
dominion of Canada are, and have been,
strained and unnaturallv cramped and in o
measure paralysed, owing to the inability of
the two governments to establish such a
System Of International trade and COM
merce between them as is essential to meet
the requirements of the situation; and where
as, the conditions and relations. before re.
ferred to, as also the geography of the two
countries, suggest the impossibility Of q just
sizes pertaining to the fisheries, boundaries and
transcontinental trades, except by blending
ofedorts, and interests, under one government
tai system, and point logically to the necessi-
ty and probability of unity and assimilation
between the two nations under one govern
ment; and whereas, the bonds af aympathy
resulting FROM kinship, race, language. tra-
mental systems, tpgether with q community
9f Interests, based upon commerce and its
aids and agencies, are of such character
that such union and assimilation il being
discussed and favorably considered hy the
citizens Of both nations, and, inasmuch % it
II believed that ito early communication
would hs Of great advantage to oil citisens
and subjects Of the two countries, provided
the same can be attained in manner con-
sistent alike with the honor and dignity Of
the United States and 0reat Britain and the
Dominion OF Canada. Therefore, with o
