A DEADLY ACCIDENT.
A Gang of Men Scissored Between
Two Railroad Trains.

W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. A shocking ac-
cident occurred at $50 o'clock this morning at
the Hazel street crossing OF the Jersey Central
railroad. Several hundred men were waiting
at the Hazel street station for the labor train.
A number of them walked up the track to meet
it. Suddenly fast freight from the south
came at a high speed. The men jumped
from the north-bound track to the south
bound, when the labor train, rushing around
sharp curve, plunged into their midst.
In their scrambling many were thrown down
or against the two trains. Two men were
struck by the freight and two by the labor
train. Benjamin Polsue, aged sixty, was in
stantly killed; Vim. Brent aged sixty, was cut
in half; Steven Steffel, Polander, aged thirty
years, had his head crushed and leg cut off; he
will die; Conrad Ernst, aged thirty years, skull
fractured; his injuries will probably prove
fatal

THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURES.
1t Met Today and Elected Officers.
Al nispatch To THE EVENING STAR.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
RICHMOND, Dec 4.-The general assembly
of Virginia met today and both branches pro-
ceeded to the election of officers. The senate
was called to order by Lieut.. Gov. John E.
Massey and the house of delegates by its clerk
John Bell Bigger According to the result of
the democratic caucus last night the following
officers were elected and installed: President
pro tenn. of the senate, John L. Hurt; clerk,
DIR. j. ID. Pendleton; sergeant-at-arms, z. 7.
Weaver; doorkeeper, W. ID. Haynes. House Of
delegates-Speaker, r. II. Cardwell; clerk,
John b. Bigger; sergeant-at-arms, ]. p. Martin;
first doorkeeper, A. o. Sullivan; second door
keeper, E. T. Kindred. These were simply old
officers renominated. The senate will not be
presided over by the newly elected lieutenant
governor until after the Inauguration of the
gubernatorial ticket elected in November,
which will be January /.
MISSING LINK.
The returns all in and certified to accord
ing to law, except from one county, that Of
Scott. which is located in the extreme south
west portion Of the state. The full returns OF
that county gave democratic majority of IL
but the county commissioners, democrats,
threw out one precinct for irregularity, which
gave q democratic majority OF 10. This elected
the republican candidate by one vote. The
clerk of the county, q republican, refused. at
the instance of the republican candidate, to
certify to the returns, and in this shape the
matter will come before the legislature itself
for Judgment. 1t is believed that Mr.. Craft,
the democratic candidate, will be seated, as
the whole question hangs on a technical point.
OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS.
As soon as the two houses are fully organized
this afternoon the usual committee will be ap-
pointed to wait upon the governor and announce
their readiness to receive any communication
he may have to make.
A resolution has been prepared and will
doubtless be adopted fixing tomorrow {Thurs-
day. at 1880 o'clock for the members of the
two bodies to meet in joint assembly and can
Vass the vote for governor and lieutenant gov
ernor in the hall of the house. The state board
of canyassers canvass all the returns except the
above, which Is done by the Legislature in joint
assembly.
A joint caucus of democrats will be held to-
Friday nights the nomination of basement Of
tcers will begin and then an exciting time may
be anticipated.
MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA OYSTER QUESTIONS
Gov. Lee on Monday invited Gov Jackson to
Richmond to talk over their differences about
the Hog Island question over an oyster stew
yesterday afternoon. Gov. Lee received a tele-
gram from Gov. Jackson expressing his regret
OF his inability to accept the same, but sug-
gested that day be fixed to hold a conference
in Washington to consider the matter, which
they will doubtless do when the governors of
the thirteen original states meet there, proba-
bly, next week.

ity, but was much worn. On his shirts in in
delible ink is the name of Dennison and in red

ImpOrtant Land Cases.

There are number of important land cases
now pending before the Interior department
in which a decision is expected in the course of
few weeks. Assistant Attorney General
Shields is endeavoring to get the work in such
shape that the accumulated cases can be dis
posed of as rapidly as the important interests
involved will permit. In addition to cases
brought before him on appeal from the land
Office to the Secretary of the Interior his
force of law clerks has been called
upon to decide important questions
relating to Indian affairs, the negotiation for
Indian lands and other problems which are
continually arising in great department like
the Interior department. There are great
many cases which had been decided by the past
administration which have been brought up
again for review, notably that of the Guilford
Miller case, which involved the right of a set
tier to land within the indemnity limits of the
Northern Pacific railroad. These review cases,
which are always numerous at the beginning
of a new administration, have added to the
burden of the legal branch Of the Interior de-

AN IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT.
David j. Brewer Nominated to Fill the
Supreme Court Vacancy.

The President sent to the Senate today the
nomination of David J. Brewer of Kansas to be
associate justice Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
Judge Brewer is nephew Of Justice Stephen
J. Field He has been United States Judge for
the eighth circuit of Kansas since 1884, sue
ceeding Judge Geo. W. McCrary, WIDOWS Sec
Rotary Of War under President Hayes. Mr..
Brewer was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, June
20, 1887, and was educated at Wesleyan uni
versity and at Yale. He studied law in the
Office Of his uncle. David Dudley Field, and
afterward graduated at the Albany law school.
he was admitted to the bar in New York city,
but in 1859 removed to the west where he
practiced his profession first in Kansas City,
MO-, and afterward in Leavenworth, Kan. In
1861 he was appointed US. commissioner, in
1852 Judge OF probate and judge of the county
criminal court. From 1865 to IS69he was Judge
OF the first judicial court of the state and at
the same time superintendent of public schools.
In lS69-70 he was city attorney for Leaven-
worth and in the following year was appointed
Judge OF the supreme court of Kansas. He was
also vice president, afterward president, Of the
state board OF education. This is the first in
stance in the history of the United States Su-
preme Court of two men as nearly related as
are Judge Field and Judge Brewer being on
the bench at the same time.
Judge Brewers father, Rev. Josiah Brewer,
was missionary to Asia Minor when the Justice
was born, but returned to this country when
David was three years old. By strange coin
cldence Judge Brewer graduated in the same
class at Yale with Judge Brown OF Detroit and
John Mason Brown of Kentucky, both Of whom
were prominently named in connection with
the appointment 81 - ..'
The appointment Is generally well received.
Justice Miller, over whose circuit Justice
Brewer has presided. speaks OF him in the
warmest terms. ranking him among the ablest
judges on the bench.
DR.. Morrison Mumford, editor of the Kansas
City Times, says the appointment will give
satisfaction to all parties in Kansas
The nomination was apparently most salts
factory to the two Senators from Kansas
Senator Ingalls, and Senator Plumb spoke of
him in the highest possible terms, and it was
evident that Judge Brewer had had the adj
