A Serious Railroad Accident tOnani
Governor OF Michigan Killed,
MARQUETTE, MlcH, Jan. 20.-As the
eastbound passenger train on the North
western railroad neared Elmwood, q
station 10 miles east Of Watersmeet, at
o'clock Saturday afternoon, one Of the
trucks under tho rear coach broke and
threw the coach or tho track. The
coach was derailed about five car lengths,
whom 1t struck stump and was
smashed to pieces, killing or injurlng
all the occupants. The killed are: John

ing sensation. The car then swayed two
or three times and then turned on Its
side. He remembered nothing more
until he found himself 200 or 800 feet In
the rear Of the train in the snow. 1t
seems that the car In turning over struck
q stump, which penetrated II between
the men who were playing cards.
Mr.. Tuttle, who asseated In the seat
TO the rear Of the table, was instantly
killed, his neck being broken. Mr.. Nc.
Donald was in the same seat with him,
and his arm was torn out OF the shoulder,
and was found at least 40 feet from the
body. He lived about one hour, and
was conscious for few minutes. The
whole side Of the car was torn out by a
second stump, and 1t seems miraculous
that any escaped.
Mr.. Mcdonald was elected Lieutenant

His estate Is valued at over $500, 900. Mr..

THE REPORTS CONFIRMED.
Queer Actions of the German Oflcers To-
ward the Americans.

Queer Actions OF the German Ohlcers To-
ward the Americans.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 2O.-Tho San
Francisco Examiner prints n long letter
from its correspondent at Apia, which
describes the assault made by the Ger
mans and their rcpulse, and describes in
detail the firing on the American flag
and American houses, and the assaults
made on the American residents. Speak.
ing Of the matter editorially, tho Eram.
iner says:
1t Is easy to see why the German off.
cials spread reports OF American inter
ference. They had treated American
citizens and the American flag with in
dignities that demand exemplary repair
alton, and they thought II advisable to
nut In counter.complaint in time. In
tho devastation Of Samoa towns they
seemed 10 take special pains to single
out the property of Americans for
destruction and riddle the flag. That II
sent To Washington would be evidence
Of friendliness that would need no COM
mentary.
While the United States AIan .of.War
Adams, was at Apia, early In December,
1t appears that the American's house
was invaded and his Countrys flag found
therein cut to pieces by Tamasesse's men
from the stronghold at Mullinuu point.
Captain Leary, Of the Adams, sent a cat
egoriCal question to tho German
Consul as 10 whether Tamasesses
headquarters were under German
protection or not. Failing to get
reply within reasonable time the
Captain began making arrangements for
landing a battalion and throwing up for.
tihCations facing Tamasesse's Fort, He
was determined, II no satisfaction were
given for the outrage, 10 march his men
upon Tamasesses stronghold and take
that Chieftain prisoner. The intention
OF the Captain becoming known, great
commotion ensued in Tamasesse's camp
and at 10 o'clock on the same night the
evacuation OF Atulineuu point was be-
gun with vigor. The Adams sailed from
Apia prior to the occurrence Of DeCenl'
Der Is, and Is now at Honolulu.

son and Thomas Allison. He at once

OF some neighbors and started after the
others. After securing the other two
girls without any serious trolble, ho
started back, but when about two miles
from home a mob took possession OF
him and strung him up to a tree. The
old man was terribly strict with tho
girls. He would hardly let them out Of

break the deadlock tomorrow, there are
some indications that an element among
the Democrats will stuhbornly resist the
breaking OF the deadlock for reasons
closely connected with the United States
Senatorial fight within the Democratic
party, Unless this element shall be
strong enough to control the caucus and
put the caucus seal on the lips OF every
member this willingness to go ahead
would not stand In the way Of the con-
summation Of the arrangement,
UNEASY DEMOCRATS,
Later to,nightit was said that the DEM

contested seats in-the Senate and that
they are willing to come to an under
standing about the contests In general,
which understanding they desire EN-,
bodied In an arrangement that may be
made looking 10 the organization OF the
Senate, The suggestion Is that the
House contest shall be hung up for the
present, II the Republicans will agree 10
do the same with regard to the Senate
cases, so that neither side shall
have any advantage over this
matter. There has been an evil
dent change Of mind on the part OF
the Democrats with regard to the House
contested seats. At first they were In u
great hurry TO 60 ahead and bundle out
three Republicans from Putnam, Nc.
Dowell and Mercer counties. The case
Of Kirk, the Putnam man, which con-
seryatiye Democrats regard as q case
gotten up for nero bIncomb, was TO
come first. The Election Committee
met on Saturday, and twas understood
10 be the intention to start Kirk through
on the llghtningexpress, leaving Meader,
Of Mercer, and Bandy, Of Mcdowell, to

side had by this time discovered that
