OBSEQUIES TO-DAY.
Elaborate Preparations for the Funeral of
jefferson Davis I'm New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, December TO- Special.
Were il not for the myriad festOOns OF
black and white which drapes nearly every
house iu the city, one would be strongly re-
minded of the DAYS of Mardi Gras. The
streets are already full TO repletion with
strangers, but each incoming train adds to
their number and by tomorrow the entire
city will be filled 10 overfiowing. The above
mentioned emblems, however. tell more
loudly than words can do that the present is
no holiday gathering, but that il is an assem-
blage TO pay the last sad tribute Of respect
to the memory of the Southern hero and
statesman, Hon. Jefferson Davis. IL is inn
possible, unless right here in New Orleans,
where the remains of Mr.. Davis are TO be
consigned tomorrow to the tomb, 10 esti-
mate the universal feeling Of sorrow and
regret that is felt over his death. Tonight
is the last opportunity any one Will ever
have to gaze upon the features OF the dead
Confederate leader, for tomorrow the casket
in which they are deposited will be finally
closed and they be shut forever from mortal
ewes. In consequence, throngs, numbered
by thousands, have all day been passing in
a steady stream in and out Of the City Hall,
where all that is left Of Jefferson Davis lies
in state, to take last farewell look. They
are composed, too, Of every sort and condition
of men-the old and grey headed, the young
and active, the school child, representatives
of both sexes and colors, and of every shade
Of belief and creed. Neither is the constant
stream of visitors the outcome OF curiosity.
There is visible upon nearly every face
feeling of sincere grief, as II relative, or at
least a devoted friend had passed into the
land of shadows, and many an eye Is
moistened with heartfelt grief, as 1t gazes
upon the placid features OF the dead.

nelIsyille Strike-Th Bowers Case. =

PITTsBURG, Aug. 16.-The southbound
passenger train on the Butler branch of the
Western Pennsylvania railroad, which left
Butler, Pa, at 2:35 o'clock this afternoon,
jumped the track at Sarver's station, and
the entire train, consisting of two passen-
ger coaches and combination smoking and
baggage car, went over an embankment
and was totally wrecked. Three persons
were killed outright and twenty-five others
injured, number of whom will die The
killed and injured are as follows: killed
w. Powers, Lawrenceville, Pa; a child of
Mrs. Farrell, of Butler; Mrs. Duff, an old
lady, residence unknown. The wounded,
so far as known, were: Ex-Mayor Lyon, of
Pittsburg, seriously, in the shoulder; Cap
tain Tower, of Pittsburg, head badly cut;
D. a. Jones, of Pittsburg, seriously hurt
and bruised; j. A. Mclaughlin, of Pitts
bnrg, fatally injured; Colonel Rowley, of
Pittsburg, slightly injured; Conduc-
tor Gray, of Butler, seriously injured,
internally; BRAKEMAN Harms, Butler, back
broken; Mrs. Croft, Pittsburg, injured Sc
riously; Bessie Fulwood, Pittsburg, cut
in the head; Captain Grace, Jamestown,
N. Y, painfully injured. About fifteen
others were more or less injured. whose
names are unobtainable at this writing.
The accident was caused by the spreading
of the rails on small bridge. The rails
were on stringers which had rotted with
time and long service. The engine passed
over the bridge safely, but the first car was
derailed and plunged down into the abyss,
some thirty feet below. The rails plOughed
through the second and the escapes were
miraculous. One lady had her dress cut
from the waist to the shoulder; another
lost a small piece of her cheek; a third had
her chin cut, and many others in the second
car narrowly escaped.

A FIREEATING FATE.
Terry's Death is Still the General
Topic.
c. W. FIELD ON THE SITUATION.
He is Sure There Was Conspiracy to Kill His
Brother-General Sherman Interviewed
Opinions of Lawyers.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YoRK, Aug 16.-News of the shoot
ing of ex-Judge Terry was received with
intense interest in this city by thousands
of people every where. In clubs, on ele-
waited trains, in down town exchanges and
business centers, every body apparently
was talking about the fate of the fire
eating, blood drinking Terry. Among
lawyers especially was the story discussed.
They felt a professional interest in the
affair and had close knowledge of the
case from the beginning. While Terry
was known in the east mostly by reputa-
ton, there are many lawyers in New York
who are personally acquainted with Justice
Field. All these speak of him in the
highest terms and commend his course in
sending Terry to jail as the only thing
compatible with his judicial dignity that
he could have done and say his personal
courage has always been that of any living
man. 1t is almost safe to say that the legal
fraternity of New York sympathize with
Justice Field and look upon the taking of
of his ferocious antagonist as not wholly
Ialxing in good. For Marshal Maggie who
was so quick and handy with his gun, more
words of praise than censure are spoken.
Il Think said Ex-Governor George
Hoadley, Justice Field deserves congrat-
ulation from escaping assassination at the
hands of one of the veriest blackguards the
country ever produced. Mr.. Field is one
of the ablest men in the country; he is hon
orable, upright AID pure. To think that
such a man as he, seventy three years DID,
cannot go about the country without being
subjected to insult at the hands of that
scoundrel Terry He only did his duty in
sending Terry to jail; there was nothing
else ne could do.
ssWhile that marshal is technically liable
for not waiting to be driven to the wall,
have no doubt but he will be acquitted, as
le ought to be. In my opinion he saved
Field from certain assassination, either at
the hands of Terry or the woman with
him. If an old and venerable judge of the
supreme court of the United States can't
go about this country in personal safety,
things have come to pretty pass"
1.-THE sympathies of lawyers generally
said Frank II. Lawrence, ''are of course
andI upright Judge, and in point of per-
sonal character Terry is not for an instant to
be compared with him. l don't know how it
is in California, but in this state, however,
a marshal would not bejustifed 10 shooting
a man under such circumstances. You
can't kill man for simple assault, and it
appears Terry's only design was to commit
an assault upon Field by slapping him. The
penalty for assault and battery is not death,
but fine and Imprisonment. Morally, per-
haps the marshal did good in removing
Terry, but technically l think ne shot his
man without due Justification

DR.. j. Milton Bowers DISCHARGED.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 16.-Dr. j. Milton
Bowers was convicted in this city in 1886
of poisoning his wife in order to obtain the
insurance on her life, amounting to about
seventeen thousand dollars, and sentenced
to be hanged. He took an appeal to the su-
preme court of the state on October %,
1887. Before that tribunal rendered deci-
sion the dead body of Henry Benhayon, a
brother of Bowers wife, was found in
room in this city. A letter was found pur-
porting to be confession of Benhayon that
DR.. Bowers was not the cause of his sisters
death. Circumstances led to a suspicion
that the confession was forged and that
Benhayon was murdered. John A. Dim
ming was arrested as being the latter's
murderer, but he was acquitted. book
agent was arrested on suspicion. The su-
preme court afterwards granted Bowers a
new trial To-day, before Judge Wallace,
the district attorney moved for the dis
1nissal of the case on the ground that not
enough evidence could be secured to con-
vict. The Judge accordingly dismissed the
case and Bowers was discharged from Gus
tody, after having been imprisoned in jail
for over three years.

The ConellsyilIe Strike.

PITTLBURG, Pa, Aug. 16.-At meeting
of the miners and coke workers of the Con-
nellsville region at Scattsdale this after
noon, resolutions were adopted to continue
the strike at those works where the scale
has not been signed, and requesting those
working under the scale to contribute to
their relief.
A special officer from Greensburg with
sixteen Hungarians has arrived and COM
mitted them to jail. The Hungarian in
whose house Sheriff Byers entered by
knocking the door off with pick rushed
thro WI up his rifle, he would have struck
him. There are now fifty-one Hungarians
in jail connected with the recent riOting.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch. ]
New YORK, 16'-Marcus r. Mayer, Henry
E. Abbey's first lieutenant, got back from
Europe yesterday on the steamship City of
New York In conversation he dropped
this interesting bit of information: Coque-
lin follows Bernhard at the Porte St.
Martin theatre under Mr.. Abbey's man
agement. He will appear in new play by
Sardou and also act ''Yorrick's Love"
He will be supported by Eleanor Calhoun,
the young California actress who made a
success with Bancroft in London last sea-
son. Coquelin, like Bernhardt, is very
likely to get into trouble with the Theatre
Franchise. He retired from that time hon
ored institution last season after having
been connected with it twenty-six years
AccordinHto the rules of the Comedie Fran
caise, Coquelin could not play after retiring
in any theatre within fifty miles of Paris, ex-
cept the Theatre Franchise. Well, he is
going to test the law and the chances are
that the Theatre Franchise directors will
endeavor to enjoin him. In that case he
will be his own advocate and plead his
own case. That will be an interesting state
of affairs.

The victory Over the Teutonic.

Special TO THE MISUNDERSTANDING lspatchl
New YORK, Aug. 16.-The City of New
York's victory over the Teutonic in the
ocean race was not very easy one. Her
time was 6 days, IA hours-twenty
minutes faster than the Teutonic. Both
ships travelled about the same course, but
the Inman lines travelled a greater dis
lance. According to the logs the New York
covered 2,790 miles while the Teutonic
Travelled 2,7S0. 1t was an equal contest, for
although the City of New York was an
older ship, her machinery has just been
thoroughly overhauled in order to insure
greater speed, and her engineers had to
exercise as much precaution in pushing the
big ship as did those of the Teutonic on
her maiden voyage
When the steamers left Queenstown
Teutonic stock was way up, odds in her
favor being then to /. On board both
vessels the male passengers bet heavily
An American on the Teutonic won $3.50
on the New York. As the latter vessel
had run slow all one night, a good many
men on her hedged bets, for which they
were sorry when they got to shore. About
five thousand dollars changed hands when

A Tennessee Tragedy.

JACKSON, Tenn, Aug. ia terrible
tragedy was enacted this morning ten
miles north of this place. Henry Prewit,
an ex-cowboy from Texas, shot his young
wife through the neck, inficting a fatal
wound, wounded his mother in-law, and
then shot himself through the head, dying
instantly. A warrant was out for Prewit's
arrest for moonshining and he was endeav-
oring to induce his wife to accompany him
to Weakly county, which she refused to
do, owing to i'll health. Prewit was des-
perate character and had boosted to his
wife that he had been married four times,
had killed one wife and three or four men.
The couple had been married but four
months

The North Dakota Convention.

BISMARCK, N. D., Aug 16-The conven
ton has completed the consideration of the
article on corporations. Any combination
between individuals, corporations, associ
atoms, either having for its object the con
trolling of the prices of any product or ar
ticle of manufacture, is prohibited, declared
unlawful and against public policy, and
that any and all franchises shall, when the
owners violate this article, be void.
The article on education was adopted
with few amendments.
The article on public lands was adopted
after amending it so that the leasing OF
lands shall be under the control of the
board of university and school lands.
The article on county and township or
ganization was adopted after amending it
SO that it is virtually copy of the Illinois
system Also a section was added defining
the county offices to be filled.
All of this afternoon has been occupied
in consideration of revenue and taxation
to be established by the legislature. The
gross earnings system was defeated. The
article as adopted provides that all property
shall be taxed alike.
The article providing for the future
amendment of the constitution was adopted
1t provides that after the proposed amend
ment receives a majority vote of tw o
legislative assemblies, it shall be.submitted
to vote of the people.
The section providing that all flowing
streams and natural water ways shall for
ever remain the property of the state for
irrigation, mining or other purposes, was
adopted by a unanimous vote.
Parsons made another, and this time
successful, attempt to incorporate an anti
black list section in the constitution. 1t
prohibits the exchange of black-lsts be-
tween railroad or other companies and
employers.
At to-night's session Bismarck was made
the capital of North Dakota in the consti-
tuition. Other pbblic institutions were
located as previously published. When
tho vote was announced the immense con-
course of visitors shook the capitol with
applause. Hats were thrown in the air,
ladies waved their fans and handkerchiefs,
and everybody, save the representatives OF
the defeated candidates for the capital,
rejoiced over the settlement of the vexed
question
