Horrible Death ON the Rail

CINCINNATI, Oct. 15.-The most appall.
Ing accident ever known on the inclined
plane railways in this city, happened to-
DAY between 10 and 12 O'Clock on the
Mount Auburn inclined plane. It lies at
the head OF Main street and reaches a
height OF between $50 and 800 feet, in a
space of 1900 feet. Two cars are en-
ployed, one on each track, drawn by two
steel wire cables wound upon drum at
the top of the hill by an engine located
there.
Nine passengers had entered the car at
the foot Of the plane and number in the
other car at the top. The passage of the
ascending car was all right until it reach
ed the top, when to his horror, the engi-
neer found the machinery would not re-
spond and he could not stop the engine.
Only one result was possible. The car
was arrested by a stringer bumper which
stopped its progress, and as the engine
continued, all its force was expended on
the two cables, which snapped like wrap
ping thread. Then the car, with its nine
inmates locked within, began its descent
of that frightful slope. The crash at the
foot Of the plane was frightful.
The iron gate that formed the lower
end of the track on which car rests was
thrown go feet down the track and the
top of the car almost as far down the gut
ter. The track itself, the floor and seats
of the car formed shapeless wreck
mingled with the bleeding and mangled
bodies of the passengers.
Two were taken out dead, a middle
aged lady Mrs. Ives and young girl
Lillian Oscauy and another, N. Kees, a
teacher died soon afterward. Five others
injured, perhaps fatally, were rescued
One man escaped mi aculously with but
slight injury. The names of the injured
are not yet fully ascertained.
Hon. J. B. Hollisten and nj. Fadden
are said to be two of them. AS soon as
it could be done the dead were taken to
the morgue for full Identification.

EXTENT OF LAKE MlSTASSlNl.
The Solution by Professor Louden and MI
Macdonald Not Accepted.

The Solution by Professor Louden and Mr..
Macdonald Not Accepted.
Neither in this city nor at Lake St.
John is any importance attached to the
alleged solution of the mystery of Lake
Mistassint's extent by Professor Louden
and Mr.. Sandfield Macdonald, of Toronto,
furnished in their report published by
The Toronto World and New York Her
aid. The Montagnais Indians and the
old French courriers du bois at Lake st.
John ridicule the pretension that Lake
Mistassini is but 100 miles long, and the
general consensus of opinion in scientific
and literary circles here is that if such
were thecase the Jesuit explorers of two
centuries ago, who left maps of the lake
showing nearly 100 miles of it's length,
would have completed their work. and
not left the mystery for future genera
tions to solve.
A report comes from Lake st. John to
the effect that Prosper Cleary, the chief
guide of Messrs. Louden and Macdonald,
declares that these gentlemen never went
further than the Hudson Bay company's
post on the shore Of the lake, and never
saw even Mr.. Lows alleged end of the
lake. Mr.. John Bignell, who was the
first head of the expedition taken to the
lake by Mr.. Low, is of opinion that
Messrs. Louden and Macdonald were led
into error as to the limits of NIistassini,
and points to numerous reports from a
variety of Indian and other sources, all
indicating the existence Of large ex-
panse of water beyond the generally ac-
cepted northeastern limit of the lake.
His statement that the report Of these
explorers will not be accepted as
correct by the provincial authori-
ties is corroborated by officials of
the crown lands department, who
express the belief that ere long a
properly equipped expedition will be
sent to Mistassini by the government
with ample supplies and definite instruc-
tions to complete the work SO often be-
gun there, only to be abandoned for lack
of time, provisions and scientific expert
ence. Mr.. Bignell has had lifelong ex-
perience as n surveyor in the northern
country between Quebec and Hudson's
bay; and of Messrs. Louden and Macdon-
AIDS report he says that "it fairly
bristles with inaccuracies, evidently the
result of inexperience in such work and
hasty observation" The leading French
Canadian newspapers refuse to accept
the conclusions of the report, which are
popularity regarded here as the hasty re-
suit of what was doubtless very inter-
esting and adventurous holiday trip

Withholding Salary.

A case was decided in Watertown, N. Y,
a few days ago, which shows that corpo-
ration has the right to withhold an en-
ploye's salary, or portion of it, if he is
caught in the act of stealing. Ex-Con-
ductor Middleton brought suit against
the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg
railroad for $130 salary, which was with
held from him when he was discharged
from the service a year ago, and 1t re-
suited in favor Of the railroad company,
the testimony of Pinkerton detectives
having shown that the plaintiff failed to
report fares collected on the train,
amounting in one month to more than
the sum withheld from him.-New York

Freedom of the Pope.

ROME, Oct.15.-A banquet was given at
Palermo last night to prime Minister
Crisp. In the course of his address he
touched upon the temporary power Of
the pope aid declared that complaints or
threats either from home or abroad
would have no effect on the government
position. He declared the pope has per-
feet religious liberty and is only restricted
from encroaching on the sphere of nation

Reforming the Jury System.


constitution, offered BY Mr.. II. F. Ste
vens, Of this city, which provides for
the rendering Of verdict in civil cases
in accordance with the agreement of
three fourths Of the jurymen, is a meas
ure Of greatsimportance. II adopted by
the legislature and ratified by the
people at the next election it will &C.
complish revolution in our judicial
system.
81 At one time or another almost every
person has had occasion to express dis
approval OF or disappointment with the
result Of the present system. The way
wardness Of the zone intelligent jury
man. has become proverbial and liti-
giants have found themselves time and
again subjected to expense and delay,
almost unbearable, owing to his innate
contrarity of character.
The proposed amendment. it will be
observed, does not apply to criminal
cases. No mans life or personal liber-
ety ought perhaps to be sacrificed, un-
less the opinions of all unprejudiced
men who hear the evidence are in
agreement. Certainly no proposal to
receive verdicts in such cases which
did not reflect the unanimous sentiment
Of the jury would at this time receive
the public approval.
tits not necessary to believe that the
intelligent juryman is always wrong in
such cases in order to secure support
for this measure. There doubtless
have been cases where the insistance of
one or two Jurors on their own view OF
the evidence prevented substantial in
justice from being done. But the cases
where Justice has been impeded and Of
ten defeated by such an agency have
been, on the other hand, so numerous
and so palpable as to make the excep-
ton a mere confirmation of the belief
that they represent the normal result
of such disagreements. Besides all
this, the practice of .'jury-fxing" has
in many communities developed into an
art. The possibility of ssingle mem
Der of a jury being tempered with is
one which courts and lawyers have
long ago recognized as ever present.
This plan Of taking the verdict Of
nine jurors out of twelve dispenses in a
great measure with the possibility of
bribery and corruption. 1t is more in
accordance with the prevailing spirit of
accepting the opinion of the great ma
jority as being most in consonance with
truth and right. We're men in the con-
duct of affairs generally to consider
themselves bound by the Unanimous
opinion before proceeding to action in a
given direction there would be but lit
tie progress made in the worlds affairs.
The recognition Of the majority idea in
all proceedings in arbitration may fur
ther be accepted as safe rule of con-
duct. What men seek to arrive at is
substantial right and justice, and that
is attainable now a-days with men GER
tainly through Difference to the convic-
ton of the many, rather than of the one.
The proposition embodied in this con-
stitutional amendments far from being
beyond discussion, but those whose ex-
perience demonstrate to them daily the
finite character Of mems Judgment will
be disposed to accept the apparent So
luton which Mr.. Stevens measure pre-
sents of the grievous difficulties which
attend the administration Of our prese n

NEW ULM, MINI.
Wednesday, Feb. %, 1889.

The bill to enable the Winona and
st. Peter land company to evade the
payment of back taxes in Brown, led
wood and Cottonwood Counties will not
become law. The Senate Judiciary
Committee voted unanimously to rec
ommend its indefinite postponement
and the House Committee will probably
do the same. Senator Bowen and Rep
resentative Heideman brought about
the result and deserve credit for their
effective work. The Pioneer Press gave
a synopsis of Attorney Gilmans argu-
ment in favor of the bill, but ignored
Senator Bowens arguments against the
same. AS our Senator succeeded in
convincing the Committee, his argu-
ments must have been the best, and it
surprises us that so enterprising a Jour
nal as the Pioneer Press should fail to-
take notice of them.

England had been the only power at

heed to his treaty obligations to respect
the independence Of the islands. He
has, however, quickly scuttled off be-
fore the sharp reminders of Brother
Jonathan, and one may depend upon it
that any German consul in the future

It has always been a disputed fact as
to whether the James brothers were or
were not present at the Mortified rob.
berry, and the fact that no strenuous
efforts were made to bring them to this
State for trial, is said to be largely due
to this fact. 1t is now said that Cole
Younger, now in the Saltwater peni-
Tertiary, has lately admitted that Jesse
James was in the gang-an admission
which is probably due to the fact that
Jesse is dead. Cole and Jesse, it is
now known, were the two men who
went into the First National bank at
Mankato a few days before the North
field affair and asked to have a $50 bill
changed, after which they took care
full survey Of the premises and went
out. James Kelly, of Mankato, claimed
at the time to have recognized Jesse on
the street in that city, having known
him in Missouri, but the outlaw denied
his identity and the two disappeared.
It is supposed that his recognition was
what prevented them from making
their attack on the bank at Mankato in
stead of Mortified. It is said that the
Younger brothers still refuse sto say
whether Frank James, who is still iv.
ing. was with them or not,-EX.
