less bruises The dead are: William
Katey, William Wilson, married. large
family; Joseph Trainors, married; Mike
Dillon, single; an unknown man about
forty years old. James McCuen was
badly crushed and can not recover. Tho
excavation was being made for the pur-
pose OF removing a gas pipe from under
meath the track and the accident is believed
to be due to carelessness upon the part OF
the gas company in neglecting to place
proper support under the track where the
men were at work.

Wires DESTROYED.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec 26-About one
O'Clock this morning there was a crash
along Grand avenue from Fifth to Eighth
streets which awoke people for blocks. A
half dozen telegraph poles had snapped in
two beneath the weight of accommodating
tons of sleet. An instant later and the
streets were transformed into a network Of
ice clad wires. 1t looked like some gigantic
spider had been weaving threads of ice in
every conceivable direction up and down
and across the avenue for blocks.
Along Main street. especially at the
Junction and upon Sixth and Delaware
streets, the wires were transformed into
hawsers of ice, which bent poles like hips.
broken wires swung down into every
street. Along Walnut street, from Sixth
to Ninth all the poles were bent with the
tons of weight upon the wires 1t was al
most as bad on Eighteenth street, where
one or two poles were broken. The sleet
caused destruction in this way everywhere.
All day long there was a steady rain
falling and with the change in tempera-
lure. toward nightfall it turne To sleet.
The heaviest sleet began falling about ten
O'Clock last night, which was followed by
o considerable fall of snow.

RAILROAD BUILDING.

Over Seven Thousand Miles OF New Main
Track Constructed During the Year.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-The Railacav Aqe
says: Notwithstanding the widespread
impression that the additions to the rail-
way system of the United States during
1888 would be comparatively insignificant,
the evidence is now before us that the
railway mileage of the country was in
creased during the year by no less than
1920 miles of main track. While this
is much less than the pheno-
naenal increase in the year 1887,
1886, 1882 and 1881, when the new mileage
was respectively 1900, 5000. H. 500 and
1916 miles, the record for the past year
exceeds that of every other year in his
tory, with the exception of 1871, when
1879 miles were added. New track was
laid in all but two of the forty
States and Territories, the ex-
captions being Rhode Island and
Nevada. Kansas still leads the
list in the extent of new mileage and she
has done so for several years. California
comes next. Only about twenty lines
built more than 100 miles each; those
doing the largest amount being the
Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska, 412
miles; st. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
toha, 427 miles; the the South
ern Pacific, through various SUBJ
sidiary companies, a little over three hum
dred miles. This is important as showing
how the nature of the work of railway
construction changed in single year.
The building OF great competitive lines
has practically ceasei and the years
work was chiefly devoted to the construc-
ton of short independent lines or branches.

ANOTHER VESSEL SEIZED.

Spanish Authorities at Porto Rico Seize q
Vessel For an Alleged Trivial Matter.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-The brigantins
Josefa, which arrived at this point Tues
day from Montego Bay, Jamaica, while
dischargng cargo on her outward trip
from New York to Arroyo, Porto Rico,
was found to be lacking twenty packages
of corn starch which were marked on the
VESSELS manifest. The vessel was
seized by the Spanish authorities,
who held her until fine OF $1,000
was paid. although the value of the goods
in question did not exceed $40. The
master and crew were forced to suffer
ernor of the island and officials acting
under his authority. The authorities
offered to settle the matter if the captain
of the vessel could satisfactorily explain
the whereabouts of the missing packages.
After the fine had been paid it was ascer-
tanned that the missing goods were
delivered by mistake on board the
ship Josephus, which lay next
to the Josefa in New York but
were placed on the Josefa's mani
fest. Explanations were made to the
Spanish authorities and the return of the
fine was requested but was refused, and
the vessel left for this city. James Brett,
of New York, managing owner of the Jo-
sefa, has fled complaint against the
Spanish Government with Secretary Bay
ard. It will be urged that the war ships,
Galena and Yantic, shall be ordered to
continue their cruise TO Porto Rico and
summarily secure redress for the IMPOSE
ton suffered by the Josefa.

A Preacher Slabs His AssaiIant to Death
in a Pulpit.
MACON, Ga, Dec. 26-At a country
church in Coffee County, this State, Sun
day, man was killed by a preacher
in charge of the church. Trouble had
existed in the church, one faction fav-
oring the retention of the pastor and the
other favoring his dismissal. The factional
fight grew very bitter, and the trouble
reached climax last Sunday when the
PASTORS friends voted him in for another
year. One of the members most bitterly
opposed to the pastor approached the pull
pit where the reverend gentleman was sit
ting and engaged in conversation wi. h
him. They became very much excited,
and finally the member raised his hand
and dealt the preacher sharp blow on
the cheek. The pastor demonstrated
with his assailant, but he struck
the preacher again and again.
accompanying the blows with a pro-
fusion of vile epithets and also splitting
in the minister's face The minister drew
his knife and stabbed his assailant re-
peatedly. Women screamed and the men
looked on aghast, while the unfortunate
man fell down in the pulpit and died. The
friends of the minister hurried him out.
and it is reported that he has fed the
country. 1t is intimated that the dead
man had cause to be jealous of the
preacher. ssss 8 -

vailed in this vicinity yes erday afternoon
and up to midnight was very severe, al
though it did little damage. A brisk snow
storm is in progress this morning.
Dispatches from Iowa, Northern Illi-
nois and Wisconsin indicate the preva-
lence OF a severe storm. At Waver-
ly, Ia, at midnight a foot Of snow

it into huge drifts. Railroads in that
vicinity were badly blocked but trains
were still running. Manchester, Ia, re-

kota line there is an average fall of one
inch; between Emmetsburg and Chick

sin, ON the position of the Northwest in
general history. Prof. Allen emphasized
four points as Of special interest: First.
that the title to the Northwest belonged to
three great nations-Spain, France and
England-which in the sixteenth. seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries, respect
lively, possessed the acknowledged leader
ship among the European States; second,
that the leadership acquired by England
in the eighteenth century was integrally
associated with the building up OF the
British empire and the decisive act
in the formation of this empire was
the acquisition from France of that
enormous tract of territory of which
the Northwest was the center;
third. that the imperial destiny Of
the United States hung upon the possess
sion Of the Northwest as but for the
military success of Governor Rogers Clark
and the diplomatic skill of the commits
sioners in negotiating the treaty of peace
in securing just this territory, the domain
would have been contracted and it was
not likely that there would have been the
courage to make the purchase of Louisiana
and the subsequent acquisitions; fourth.
that the development of the National
policy was closely connected with, and in
fact took shape in the ordinance which
organized this territory. The Territorial
system, the policy of creating new States
and the National guaranty of personal
freedom. universal education and religious
liberty, he said, found their first express
sion in the great act which provided for
the government Of the Northwest.

LECTURE FORBIDDEN.
Chicago Police Forbid q Lecture BY Mrs.
Lucy Parsons.

Chicago Police Forbid q Lecture BY Mrs.
Lucy Parsons.
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Handbills were wide.
ly distributed yesterday, announcing that
Mrs. Lucy Parsons. the wife of the execu-
ted anarchist, would lecture in Waverly
Hall last night. One of the bills was
handed to Chief of Police Hubbard, who
sent Lieutenant Laughlin to Mr.. Laurie,
the proprietor of the hall, with instructions
to order him not to open the place. Mr..
Laurie was not satisfied with the message
and called Immediately upon the chief 81
shall send an officer to you tonight" said
the chief to Mr.. Laurie. "whN will demand
the key of the hall from you. He will then
station a policeman at the door, who will
forbid admission to the hall. You are per-
fectly helpless in the matter and any re-
sponsibility there is will be upon the
police"
The wording of the subject of the lecture
was a trif1e ambiguous. in hat it might in
clude any or all phases of Anarchy and
Socialism. There was no doubt in the
minds of the police that Mrs. Parsons in
tended to say something to cause her ar.
rest.
Said Chief Hubbard: "Mrs. Parsons can
advertise herself all she pleases but we
will not help her to do it. We have
private infoi nation that she intended
to make a violent Anarchistic harangue.
Then we would have been compelled
to arrest her, and you can be sure
that it would have been magnified in
every way by the Anarchists in the argu-
lnent of their in unc tion suit to- day. The
attempted lecture was simply for effect.
1t is we'll known that Mrs. Parsons can not
refrain from talking of Anarchy if she
gets chance, and we will not experiment.
with her further. She simply can not
speak in Chicago"

It was most becoming on the part of
Gen. Henry Fl. Sibley last evening that
the fourth governor of Minnesota (1S5S)
should as he entered the capitol
last evening stoop and kiss each of
the ladies receiving at the inau-
gural reception of the fourteenth
governor of Minnesota Hon. William
r. Merriam. There was something in
the old-fashiOned ga,lantry of the gen
eral that introduced into scene of
modern gayety little OF the old-time
stately courtesies of the minuet and
balls of state. Nor was it out of place
that at such time wit, in the person of
Ignatius Donnelly, should attend and
make ready reply to the governors
question::
DO farmers dress like that?'
"Just this way" and the sage laid his
hand OH his evening suit.
'Same here" continued the govern
OF, and glanced at his own fashionable
array.
Nor was beauty, well led by Mrs. Gov.
Merriam. the supreme law of tile state
by Judge Dickinson; congress by Capt.
S. p. Snider; the church by Chaplain
Harrington, unworthily represented.
Gen. Bishop fitted an apt description to
the phrase when he said:
"It is a cosmopolitan gathering" .
Invitations issued for 1000 meant an
attendance nearer 1000 than 5000, and
it is probable that the first number
passed the door of the state capitol last
evening and made their bow.
Beyond certain brilliancy of costume
and innumerable new faces the affair
