Did sherman Prevent Alger's Going Into
Gen. Hnrrison's Cabinets
NEW YoRK, Feb THE World this morn
ing prints the following special Dispatch from
Columbus, o.:
A prominent Republican who attended the
Michigan club banquet at Detroit, and who
is en- route to Washington, gave The World
correspondent, as coming personally from
Gen. Russell A. Alger, the following narra-
tive:
Early in December, when Gen. Alger
visited President-elect Harrison the latter
told the Michigan statesman that he intended
to put him In the cabinet as secretary of war
and for him TO arrange his affairs TO that end,
which he proceeded 70 do. When informa-
tion reached Senator Sherman that Alger
was TO go into Harrisons cabinet, he sent one
OF his trusted heutants 10 the president
EJECT with message that II Algers
name came before the senate for con-
firmation he would move for an investigation
into his methods for securing southern dele
gates at the Chicago convention, and that
when the facts came out it'would be impos'
sible TO secure his confirmation.
Immediately after this message was con
veyed TO Harrison he sent for Senator Nc
MILAN, Of Michigan, by whom he sent q
verbal message TO Gen. Alger expressing hi'
regret that he found it impossible 10 make Q
place in his cabinet for him. Both Algel
and Mcmillan We're indignant, the former
declaring that it was 'disgraceful TO use q
United States senator as a district messen
ger" and that "Gen. Harrison could have
sent one of his clerks TO Michigan
or transmitted the message of disnissa
by mail" In the meantime Gen. Algei
had learned the true reason FOR being
sponged Off the cabinet slate, an,
when he came to the Lincoln banque
in this city on Feb l2 he communi
Gated the facts 70 Governor Foraker. Tn
latter at once accepted it as the opening o
the inevitable battle between himself an'
Sherman for the ascendancy in Ohio, ant
made the banquet the occasion to eulogiz
Alger and a sail Sherman as a disappointe'
sulker. The assault was the present cause o
the row in the Ohio Republican ranks. Alger

BROOKLYN, Feb. 25.--When the suicide Of
Mrs Thomas Schulz, wife of the East New

cause. Some time ago she was made core

She was extremely angry with Mrs Schulz,

MIRACULOUS ESCAPES.
A Crowded Car Goes over an EmbanI

A Crowded Car Goes Over an Embank-
ment without Fatal Results.
ELaiIRA, n. Y, Feb. 25-The fast line ex-
press train on the Northern Central railroad,
leaving Philadelphia at II: :50a m, Saturday,
struck a broken rail between Ralston and
Roaring Branch, Pa, about thirty miles from
here, while running at high speed around
curve, and the rear coach was thrown down
a twenty-foot embankment into a small
stream The thirty occupants Of the car were
all more or less injured, and it is considered
miraculous that no one was killed. Three or
four Of the injured were taken TO Canton,
Pa, and the others were brought here and
cared for at hotels.
A dire calamity was undoubtedly prevented
BY the fact that the train was heated by
steam. Had the cars been heated by stoves
as they were until recently, the overturned
coach would certainly have caught fire and
the thirty passengers would have been roasted
alive before succor could have reached them.
As it was, if the lamps in the top Of the car
had not been extinguished when il over
turned, there is no telling what might have
happened. Several Of the passengers were
more or less burned by contact with the
heated pipes, and received severe sprains and
bruises by being caught between the pipes
but none seriously.
Following is list Of the injured who mum

KLEPTOMANIAC ADA.
A Little Coiorcd Girl who Makes Away
with other Peoples Things.

WIN Dthcr feopie's Thiugs.
Ada Cross, small coorcd girl, has
developed remarkable faculty for get
ting away with property belonging to
other people. She is an old offender.
having been sentenced to six months 10
Jail some time ago for n similar offense.
In the Police Court this morning Ada
was charged with three different larce-
nies, to two of which she pleaded guilty;
to the third. not guilty. The proof was
conclusive and it pointed to others who
received and were charged with receiving
stolen property. Tho mother of the
child was in court this morning and
brought before Judge Miller, who com
mentcd very severely on her method of
bringing up her child, and stated that IL
was undoubtedly her influence and ex.
ample which had brought this little girl
to her present dcplorable condition.
The mother denied absolutely having
anything to do with receiving the fruits
of her daughters piforings, but a little
iudicious questioning of the defendent
by the Court ELECTED more damaging in
formation against Mrs. Cross. Judge
Miller in the interest of the community,
is very anxious to break up this thieving
and particularly to bring to justice those
who instigate the crimes and receive the
benefits, as it is evident that these
young thieves are acting, If not under
instructions, in the interests of their rela-
tions. Robecca Cross, an older sister,
was also arraigncd for receiving stolen
property.
Some of the stolen property was found
in the house of Rebecca, who, on the
stand, testified that she bought the stuff
of her sister, but the Court entertained
no doubt of her guilt and sent her to Jail
for six months.
George Mcdonald was also on trial for
receiving pair of opera glasses and a
gold watch, which he knew were stolen.
He is the lover of Rebecca and was evil
IDENTIFY as deeply implicated in the mat
ter as any one else and was given six
months in Jail for each offense by Judge
Miller
The Court was undecided rs TO what
sentence to impose on the little girl, be-
cause she was undoubtedly under evil
influences, and the Judge would have
preferred to send her to the Reform
School until she became of age. 1t was
impossible to do this, so she was given
eighteen months in Jail
