HALF A DOZEN ARE DEAD.
Details of the Terrible Wreck on
the Lake Shore Road.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 7.-All Buff
falo was Mortified last night by the news
that terrible disaster had occurred on
the Lake Shore railway, near Bayview
station, about nine miles from this city.
Ali kinds of rumOrs were floating about,
each one more appalling than the last,
and, as is always true in such cases. it
was almost an impossibility to get any
information from the railway people.
SO far as is known the killed are:
j. SwAYNE. colored porter.
joan W. FLYNN. a travelling agent Of this
city.
John T. POWER, Of Pittsfeld, Mass, sup
posed travelling agent.
Mr. and MRS. j. Z. STEWART. of Rochester.
Mrs. JOSEPH D. BAUoUs, of Saratoga
Springs n. Y.
Eighteen persons were seriously in
jured. among them George E. Martin,
OF Boise City. Idaho, whose chest was
crushed. There were about ninety
people on the train, and among them
was a yOurg couple just started out in
married life-married just week in
fact. and the story of their fate is indeed
a sad one. They were Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph ID. Baucus, of Saratoga Springs,
n. Y, and they were returning home
from their honeymoon trip. The couple
Occup ed seat III the coach. and the
bride was pinned down when the crash
came. She was frightfully injured, be-
ing bruised in many places, while her
skull was terribly crushed. The hus-
band was also injured about the body
and legs, but his physical suffering was
nothing to the mental agony he suffered.
The bride was rolled in blankets and
lay stretched across two seats while DR..
Thompson, of Angola, did what was
possible to save her. Other physicians
were also there and louked after the
young couple, but Mrs. Baucus was
doomed from the first. Her husband
acted III heart-br0ken, distracted man
ner, calling upon the doctors to save
her, and kissing her poor blanched and
bleeding lips in way that would bring
tears from stone. 1t was without
avail. however, and the bride of week
gave up her life as the relief train ap-
preached the city about 2:30 o'clock
this morning.

Trail.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 7.-Sena-
tor Dolph called a meeting this after
noon of his special committee directed
to discover, if possible, the leaks
through which the public are informed
of the proceedings in executive sessions
of the senate. Having failed to extract
any information from the newspaper
men who were called as witnesses. the
committee this afternoon decided to
take the other tack, and, beginning at
the head of the list, it sum-
mOned members of the senate to
appear before it and put them
through course of questioning SINH
lar to the one applied 10 the news
paper men. Before the other senators
were summoned, however, the several
members of the investigating commit
tee, except Mr.. Higgins, who did not
get into the room for an hour or sO,were
sworn i'll turn, asseverating that they
have never disclosed the proceedings of
executive sessions beyond the limita-
tons Of the rules. Chairman DOlph
witnesS-Mr. Aldrich-to the room,
while the others went up alone, pursu-
ant to summons by messenger, except
MIR. Allen, who had Mr.. Aldrich for a
companion and guide. After MIR. AL
drch came in turn Messrs. Allison,
Berry. Bate, Allen. Call and Ransom.
At O'Clock the senate went into eXecu-
tive session, and the committee adj
journed until Monday. The senatorial
witnesses, it is understood, testified
to the committee that they had not
transgreSsed the rules as they under
stood them. most of them explaining
that they construed the rules to permit
them to give out the fact of the cOnfir-
nation or rejection of nomination.
The examination of members of the
senate by the committee will require
two or three days. if all of them are
summoned, and until it is completed
the matter will not, it is understood, be
further discussed by the senate. The
impression prevails that the resolution
to imprisOn the correspondents for con-
tempt will fail; but there is PROBABLE
ity that some of them will be certified
to the district attorney of the District of
Columbia for prosecution on the charge
of SeditiOn.

IIMARCK, n. D., March THE chief
topic of conversation in political circles
is the private letter of Attorney Gen
eral Goo win, which was brought to
light yesterday, in which that official
makes wholesale charges of bribery
against members of the legislature and
men interested in the lottery bill. At
torney General Goodwin has not denied
the authorship of the letter, and in mis-
conversation with different parties indi-
Gates that he will make no attempt at
denial. A sensation was caused in the
lobby to-day by Representative Walsh,
who pulled GO0dwin'S hose and
intimated that seVerer punishment
might he inflicted. Representa-
tive Walsh is among those whom
Goodwin mentioned in his letter
in connection with alleged boodle-
Ism, and when they met in the lobby
to-day. Walsh walked directly to Good
win, and. while expressing his opinion
of the attorney general, grabbed his
nose and twisted it severely. Goodwin,
WhOis considerably ratified by the pub
lication of his private letter, made no
attempt at retaliation. and after the
nOse-pulling operation had ceased both
men passed on. The attorney general
has informed the house that on Monday
he will render his opinion as to when
the legislative session will expire. lie
formerly rendered an opinion that for
the
DAYS OF THE HOLIDAY RECESS
the members could not collect their per
diem. Now the members want to know
whether these days are to be added
after the constitutional 1870 days from
the time of cOnvening expired. The
senate to-day passed the house bill le-
peaIlng the law providing for the ap-
pOintmpnt of boards for the control of
the public institutions and making the
governor, secretary of state, state au-
dltor. state treasurer and Superintend-
ent of public instruction board OF

ernor. The bills locating reform
school at Mandan and soldiers nome at
Lisbon were pa Ssed by the senate.
The lottery bill still slumbers and no
effort has been made to reSurrect it.
None of the men who have been pushing
it are in the city, and there are lum0rS
among those who are supposed to be on
the inside that no further efforts to pass
1t will be made. This, however, is not
credited by the opponents OF the
measure, who still hold that an effort
will he made to pass it this session.

CHICAGO, March I'm a regular

zen, were shot down in the street to-
night by Patrick Grove, young pack
ing house employe, who had just COM
mitted a diamond robbery, during
which he assaulted two other persons.
BriscOe's injuries are probably fatal.
Linville and Cole will recover, but Lin
vile may lose the power of speech, his
tongue being cut in two. Grove, after
his daredevil work, was finally cap
tured, but not without long, exciting
chase after the shooting and followed
by the mob. Grove recently came here.
from Omaha. Last night he wound up
a protracted spree by drifting into
disreputabe house on Clark street.
About noon to-day he demanded, at the
point of revolver from Annie Hall,
the woman in whose company he was,
jewels valued at 800, which she had
Secreted under a pillow. The.wOman
screamed, and Grove fired the pistol at
her and grabbed the diamonds. The
bullet lodged in the tieshy part of her
left arm. Grove rushed with his booty
toward the street. At the door his pro-
gress was barred by coIored woman,
whom he knocked senseleSs with the
butt of his revolver. The fellow got
away for the time being and

declaring he would return to the pawn

Linville was waiting for him, and at

instantly shot down. The bullet struck

time that factory employees and others
in the vicinity were quitting work, and
hundreds began pursuit of the shooter.
Officer BriscOe, located several blocks
from the scene of the first
officers shooting, attempted, with
drawn revolver, to seize the
flying man. Grove promptly put a
bullet in Briscoe's breast and kept on.
AS he was crossing State street Grove
turned and discharged the only rema IL
ing chamber OF his revolver at the
crowd, striking his foremost pursuer, G.
Z. Cole, In the arm. Grove was at last
cornered in blind alley, but kept the
crowd at bay with his empty revolver
until the detectives stole march on
him, and, knocking him down, had
him in moment disarmed and hand
cutfed. At least thousand persons
followed the trio to the station yelling,

tectives landed him safely behind the
bars. Grove is supposed to have been
crazy from drink. He was a packing
house employe in Omaha, and according
to his statements, is of respectable
family and connections.

LAND GRANT FOtFEITURES
Il New Bill Based on Old Lines
Presented.

WASHINGTON, March THE senate
committee on public lands this morning
agreed upon and Senator Plumb subse-
quently reported general land grant
forfeiture bill framed on the same lines
as the bill passed by the senate during
this last congress. The bill forfeits to
the United States all lands opposite to
and coterminouS with the portion of any
railroad not now completed and in 0per
alton, for the construction or benefit of
which the lands have heretofore been
granted. 1t is provided, however, that
this shall not be construed as FORGETTING
any lands heretofore earned by the con-
struction of any portion of a rail
road under any act of congress
making a grant of public lands.
Persons in possession of any of the
state or corporation to which the re-
stored lands were granted are given the
right to purchase the lands from the
United states. in quantities not to ex.
ceed $40 acres by any one person, at the
rate of S1.25 an acre, at any time within
two years after the passage of the act.
Where persons or corporations hold
land to which, under the terms OF this
act, they cannot obtain title from the
United States. they are given six
months within which to remove grow
ing crops or improvements which may
have been made. A clause added to
this section provides that ii shall not
apply to any lands in Iowa on which
any person in good faith has made, or
asserted the right to make. pre-enp-
ton or homestead settlement. The bill
repeals certain sections Of several
acts in regard to land grants in
Iowa and Minnesota, which are in
conflict with its provisions. Ii 1t shall
be found that any lands heretofore
granted to the Northern Pacific Railroad
company and restored to the public do
main lie north of what is known as the
"Harrison line" In Washington, per.
sons who have acquired title to these
lands from the railroad company prior
to July /, 1885, shall be entitled to pur-
chase the lands within one year from
the United States at the rate of $3.50 an
acre. The city of Portland, Or, is con-
firmed in certain riparian rights of way
which it secured in order to obtain
good water supply. In cases where
grants of land have been made to aid in
the construction of main and branch
line, and the grants conflict, but only
one line has been completed, the grant

completed road. In homes tead entries
of the forfeited lands parties shall be

Jennings Takes a Step In the
Right Direction.
LONDON, March I'm the house Of
commons to-day, Louis j. Jennings. for
merly editor of the New York Times,
Progressive Conservative member for
Stockport, gave nOtico that he would
move to add the following to Mr..
Smiths motion asking the house to
adopt the report OF the Parnell commits
sion:
The house condemns the conduct of those
who were responsible for the accusations
against members of the house Of completely

Oh forged letters.
The notice of Mr.. jennings motion
wasreceved with OPP position cheers.
Justin Mccarthy expressed intense sat
Isfaction at finding a Conservative thus
taking independent action looking to
the censuring 10y the house of Mr.. Par
nell'S aSSailantS. In regard to the
leagues books Mr.. Mccarthy assured
the house that he had attended meet
ings of the league, and that he had
heard nothing contained In the hooks
tnat might not be read in parliament.
Sir Henry James compared the Par
nellite leaders to captains of troops,
with the striking difference that where
as the captains were the first to con-
denim disorders, the ParnelliteS melted
their followers to commit outrageS. Re-
ferring to LIE Caron and his alleged fal-
sites, he asked what was LIE CarOn
compared with men who had taken an
oath to destroy the government of the
queen and establish republic, and
then had entered parliament and taken
THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
to her majesty? He asked the house to
recollect who 1t was that hired lie
CarOn. LIE CarOn was hired and paid
bv these English statesmen, who now
cheered the men attacking him.
[Cheers.] The speaker would rather
occupy the position of LIE CarOn, OBJ
jectiOnable as 1t was, than the position
of men who were the associates of as
sassins whose honor the house was
asked to defend. Sir Charles Russell
had referred to presumably honest men,
whose secrets LIE CarOn had tried to
gain. Who were these presumably hon
est men? 1t was proved beyond pre-
sumption that they advocated the use
of dynamite. Davitt, in his evil
dence, called the Irish Worlds out

ment and its financial strength. The
commissions report teemed with proof
that Irish agitators affiliated with dyna-
miters and symDathized with the party
of violence. There were maintained
funds contributed for the purpose of
destroying the queens government.
Yet, the opposition had the temerity to
ask the house to accord these criminal
conspirators reparation. The only JUS
tice parliament could accord was to

the judges from the scurrility OF the
men who now trisd to hold them up to

wearily, and many members left the
house. Finally the house was counted

A Jersey Bank Used by Pell. Wal
lack & Co,

New YORK, March 7.-An evening
ing paper says it has been learned that
Pell, Simmons, Wallack & Co. and the
other bank wreckers used the Asbury
Park, N. D., National bank in their
check-kiting operations. Sigmund
Meyer, whose connection with the
'wreckers has been alleged, was inter-
ested in the Asbury Park concern. 1t
does not appear that the bank lost any
thing by the operations OF the wreckers.
but the fact that they were business
transactions of the kind referred to led
the national bank examiner to inquire
into the condition of the bank, and this
resulted in the discovery that the presi-
dent, George W. Byram, had loaned the
banks funds to himself for use in real
estate speculations TO the extent of $780,
900. The bank capital is 100000, and
the law permits only 10 per cent of this
amount to be loaned in the manner thgt
Byram has loaned it. Byram is making
the amount good, and the bank viii!

it has often been called both.
Not dollar has ever gone from our

though we have adopted resolutions in-

done for the Republican party in Iowa
and Kansas. In 1884 | presented to
each national political party petition
asking for the insertion of a plank in
their platform faVUring the submission
of prOhibitOry amendment to the
constitution and all declined except
the Prohibition party, and that is
why we endorsed it alone. That reso-
luton indOrSing the prohibition party
does not bind the minority. for we have
explicitly declared that no minority is
bound by any action OF the w. G. L. u.
Those VINO opposed the resolution are
free to do so. Indeed, the president Of
its state w. G. L. u, Mrs. Ellen Foster,
heads the rebellion, though she still
remains member of the executive

Injustice to no one. but maintain the

fact is we believe that we ought to fol-

the resolution is concerned, it is, we are
prepared to defend it. There is to be

When that party comes, we side with it,

A Chicago Woman Desperate

CHICAGO, March Ut was a fight for
life. The combatants were Mrs. Mary
Peterson and madman, who gives the
name of Albert Jensen, and says he is
from Michigan. The atfray occurred in
Mrs. Peterson's kitchen last evening.
Weary from her days work Mrs. Peter
son sat by her kitchen fire to await the
coming of her husband. The evening
meal was on the table. She had waited
perhaps half an hour when the front
door opened. Supposing it to be her hus-

fore she reached the hall door it

She clinched her hands the tighter. His
eyes began to start from their sockets.
His face changed from red to livid
purple, and his tongue rolled out as he

pended on her grip. Back and forth
across the room they struggled. Chairs
were overturned, and the table, set for
supper. was upset. The madman had
ceased to strike her, and all his efforts
were to break her grasp on his throat.
He began to weaken. At last the blood
spurted from his nostrils, and the sight
of this was more than the poor woman

PEsTH, March 7.-After a conference
with the emperor to-day Herr Won Tisza
appeared in his usual place in the lower
house of the diet. He stated tnat differ
ences existed in the cabinet regarding
the naturalization bill, and that if these
differences were not settled soon he
would inform the house OF his inten-
tions. Count App0nyi moved to sus-
pend the sitting, but Herr Tisza op-
posed the motion, declaring that he
hoped the cabinet differences would be
settled. He denied that grave minis
terial crisis had yet arisen. The house
thereupOn resumed debate on the mill
tia bill. The opposition tried to reopen
the flag question by proposing that only
the national flag should be used as
signal. The proposition was rejected
by the vote of III to 78. The Pesther
Lloyd states that Herr TisZa has offered
to resign and that the emperor reserves
his decision in the matter.
