Samoa, by the senate committee on
foreign relations has been practically con-

THE CASE OF GENERAL swAYNE.
WASHINGTON, January 17.-Judge Advo
cate-general David G. Swayne, now under
sentence of suspension from duty, to-day
appeared before an army retiring board,
at the war department., for examination
for retirement, in obedience to an order
oy the secretary of war.
General Swayne stated in answer to an
inquiry that he had requested the presi-
dent to restore him to his former status,
after which he would be willing to retire,
but that he did not care to be examined
before being pardoned. He thought he
was perfectly healthy and not incapaci-
tated for active duty.
Doctors Baxter and Greenhow made a
physical examination and reported to the
board that they had found evidences of
disease of the kidneys and requesting
twenty-four hours to complete the exami-
nation. In their opinion the disease in
dicated would render him incapable for
active duty. The board then adjourned
until tomorrow afternoon.

Nicholas Haley, whose brother Ed
ward resides in this city, was killed in
the c., b. & Q. yards at Quincy on
Friday last. No one knows just how
the accident occurred, as it took
place after dark, $50 p. NJ: but as he
was at his work as Switchman, the
supp6sition is he caught his foot in a
frog and was knocked down and run
over, and one car and an engine must
have passed over him. When found
he was literally cut to pieces. The
bones of the feet were broken, his legs
horribly torn and twisted, both arms
torn from their sockets, collar bone
dislocated, his head cut from the neck
to the forehead, while the body was
nearly cut in two pieces by the wheels
passing over his abdomen. His broth.
ers, Lawrence, of Chicago, and Ed
ward, of this city, went to Quincy
and removed the body to Fairbury,
where on Monday morning he was
buried by the side of his father and
mother. Nicholas Haley was young
man who had future before him.
He was temperate in his habits, faith
rul to his duties and well liked and
appreciated by his superiors. His I'M
timely death is a great misfortune and
his brothers have the deep sympathy
of all who knew him.

Burglary and Fire at Morris

Chief Murray, of Morris, was in OF.
tawa Wednesday morning looking fol
two men, well known in Morris, who
are accused of burglarizing store and
a residence in that city at an early
hour on the morning in question. The
store was entered through the cellar,
the cash box rifed, and goods of value
stolen. The gentleman occupying the
residence reports money and valua-
bles missing.
On the previous evening (Tuesday)
fire broke out in a dwelling house,
which was nearly consumed before
water could be thrown upon it. This
was occasioned by the keys to the fire
department stables having been dis
placed, it being found necessary to
batter down the doors before the
horses could be gotten out. Finally,
when water was reached, the boys did
excellent work in preventing the
flames from spreading to the neigh
boring fences. Ottawa does things
differently.
