the disease in it's different stages lnow
in that city and fully 700 of them are
in the city pest house.
Very little or no attention has been
paid to quarantine, and in many resi-
dences where cases exist there are no;
placards to denote its presence.
The newspapers of the city have re-
Trained from making mention of fhe,
sceurge, and Hundreds Of peeple:sare
daily thrown in contact with Through

TIE MUD RUN HORROR.
Beginning of the Trial of the Men Who are
Held Responsible.

SCRANTON, Pa, January 1.-THE
trial Of Engineers Cook and Major,
Conductors Terry and Keithline, Rear
Breakman Hennigan and Lookout
Pohl, on charges of causing the railroad
disaster at Mud Run last October, by
which sixty-three persons lost their
lives, began at Maunch Chunk to-day
The prosecution is being conducted by
the board of government of Scranton
and the Diocesan Union, whose mem
bers were victims of the disaster. Dis
trict Attorney Rapsler, Hon. Michael
Cassidy, of Maunch Chunk, and &C.
Donovan, of Scranton, are the attor-
neys for the Union.
The charge against the men is mis-
demeanor, instead of manslaughter,
for which they were arrested. Most Of
the witnesses are from Scranton and
vicinity. Gen. w. II. Mccartney, a
noted criminal lawyer, is defending
Cook, with five other lawyers assist
ing. He moved to quash the indict-
ment, owing to illegality in drawing it
up. It accuses the defendants Of neg
leet and refusal to obey orders. The
judge thought it ought to be amended,
and granted time for the purpose.

REMARKABLE MILD WEATHER.
Montreal IS Worried Over the Very Warm
Weather this Winter.

MONTREAL, January 16.-The wealth
er is spring like, and the temperature
at the ice palace is so degrees. Ice and
snow have almost completely disap-
peared from the streets, and there is
little or no ice on the river. The con-
tinued mild weather is having a dis
couraging effect on the carnival COM
mittee, but as cold wave is reported
coming few hours may send the mer-
curry down below zero.
This day last year the thermometer:
registered 81 below. Ice dealers are
somewhat alarmed over the ice harvest
as they have not cut a pound Of ice
yet. ....
Half of the western wall of the ice
palace collapsed this afternoon, owing
to the miidness of the weather. The
thermometer on st. James street regis
tered IS in the shade at p. m.

How Dudly Escaped.

The failure of the prosecution against
Dudley, Of Indiana, on account of in
structions Of the court to the jury, is
announced. The instructions of the
court were, substantially, that it took
two persons to commit the offense that
was indictable-one to write the letter
advising the purchase of voters, and
the person receiving the letter to act
upon the advice. Of course, no one
who receiveda a copy of the letter and
exposed it acted upon its advice, and no
one who did act upon it and corrupt
voters will make confession duplicating
himself, nor can he be compelled to do
SO. And in this manner Dudley es-
capes Indictment.

A Strange and Fatal Disease.
Lancaster Review. !

A disease not unlike cholera is doing
some very fatal work in the family of
Nh. James Bales, Of Indian Land
township, in this county. He has lost
four children in the past three weeks,
and young man named Pitts, living
on Mr.. Bales plantation, has also died
within the same length of time. All
the victims were attacked in the same
way-with some peculiar form Of bowel
complaint-and survived but a few
days after the first symptoms appeared.
Mr.. Bales has two other children now
sick with the same disease. He has
the full sympathy of his many friends
in Lancaster in his terrible af1iction.

.TGreenville News, I8th.1


=. [Greenville News, 1Sth.] = !>...
James L. Killian, of this city, has
been awarded $4,000 damages for in
jures received In the railroad Wreek.on
the Air Line at -Greer's in the fall of
1887. The verdict was rendered in the
United States Court at Atlanta, Tues
day afternoon, after trial lasting two
days.
At the time of the accident, it will
be remembered MI. Killian was rum
ming as a railway postal clerk on the
Air Line route from Atlanta to Char
lotte. In the terrible wreck of the
postal car in the accident near Greer's,
he was found entangled among the
timbers near the top of the car where
it had been telescoped by the baggage
car in its rear. He was brought to his
home in this city and lay for months
helpless on the bed, the physicians pro-
nouncing his spine injured, and the in-
juries to his left leg so serious as to
probably entail lameness for life. Only
a few months ago he began to walk
about, using crutch and stick, and
very lately having, retained his postal
clerks commission, he was assigned to
the Laurens Railway route.
Mr.. Killian brought suit for S25, 900
damages in the United States Court for
the Northern district of Georgia, Col.
John T. Glenn and John NJ. Slaton, of
Atlanta, being his attorneys. Mr.. Kill
liam was present atthe trial, which be-
gan Monday morning and was con-
cluded with the announcement Of the
verdict for $4,000 Tuesday.afternoon.
He was attending to bis regular duties
on the Laurens road yesterday. The
news of the verdict was not generally
circulated, but those of Mr.. Killian's
many friends who had learned ofit,
congratulated him on securing that
partial lrecompensefor thesevereinjuries
he has suffered.

There is use Disgusting facts 8

There is use Disgusting facts any
longer. Griggs county, so far as
crops are concerned, will not yield
100 per cent this year. The long
drought and hot winds have played
havoc with great many fields that
gave promise of big yields and many
fields will have to be plowed under.
On the other hand we have had a
few showers and the crops that are
left are picking up considerably.
The COURIER will probably be near
ly correct when it says that the crop
throughout the county will not aver
age more than six or eight bushels to
the acre. Of course their are pieces
that will yield big but there are many
others that won't to Offset them.
This is about the real situation ot
Griggs county as regards crops this
year.
