ALFRED RINNs KILLED.

One of the most unfortunate acct.
dents that ever happened In this city
took place yesterday about 8 o'clock
resulting in the instant death Of Alfred
Binns, q well known citizen here. Mr..
Binns was engaged In crushing corn
with u common feed mill near his
fathers house IN the southeast part OF
our city when II seems the team be-
came unmanageable aud began run.
ming round and round the mill until
they broke the lever. 1t is supposed
that Mr.. Binns In attempting to stop
the team got in front of the horses and
was thrown violently against tree
near the mill, striking 1t with the
right side Of his forehead. His sister
at the house heard him shout whoa,
whoa, and becoming alarmed ran to
the scene when she found him lying
about five feet from the tree, the front
portion of the skull crushed to pulp
and the brains and right eye exuding.
Several parties heard her screams and
the unfortunate man was at once
placed on q cot and medical aid sum-
moned. It was then too late, how
ever, as death ensued within few
minutes.
An examination Of the tree showed
that the force of the shock was most
violent as a considerable amount Of
flesh, brains and a portion of the nous.
tache had been literally driven into
the bark of the tree. The team be-
came entangled about the tree so that
they could not get away until lOosened,
Alfred Binns was q single man forty
years of age and one of our best and
most highly respected citizens. He
was a prominent member of the Pres
byterian church and the Baxter Glee
Club, and, strange as 1t may appear
was one of the most gay and festive
ones at the surprise party given tC
Rev. Cooter only few hours before
his death. This is certainly true ex
COMPLICATION of the adage "In thu
midst of life we are in DEATH" He
leaves large circle of relatives L
mourn his unfortunate and unlocked
for departure.
At the time of going to press thu
time for the funeral services had no
been decided upon.

DEATH OF CLARA B. TERRELL.

Clara B. Terrell was born in Lex
ington. Highland Co., Ohio, March
IL, 1859, died in Baxter Springs, Kan
sas, July Is, 1890, aged 81 years, a
months and 4 days.
In October, 1882, Clara B. Terrell,
with her parents, moved to Baxter
Springs, Kansas, where she has since
resided until last September when she
went to Lawrence, Kansas, for the
purpose of perfecting herself in her
favorite study-that of music. About
five months ago her health began to
fail and very soon thereafter she was
compelled 10 cease studying and re-
turned to her homo just four weeks
before she departed this life.
Clara was ambitious and had high
aspirations; she was hopeful to the
last, thinking she would soon be able
to resume her chosen work. Her
amiable disposition made friends OF
all who knew her, and, though her
death is sad loss, tits al comforting
thought that she will have fuller
realization of her highest hopes and
aspirations in the life upon which she
has entered, than is attainable in this
heeting life.
The last tributes of love and respect
were held ut her home Wednesday
morning, July 10th. The services
were conducted by Rev. Jas. 7. Coot-
or and they were made impressive OF
the fact that this life is but our rest
less, temporary abode-that in depart
ing this life we are but returning to
our peaceful and permanent home
with our Creator.
"Never in vain does the spirit maintain
Her eternal alliance;
Through suffering and yearning,
Like infancy learning
Its lessons, we linger; then skyward return
On plumes fully grown, ling,
We depart To our own native regions
In this solacing and sublime thought
we will think of Clara as having end
ed her journey here and entered into
the life eternal where she is in peace
full rest.

IA years, whose name we will omit,
had the misfortune to break his arm.
The fracture was set by one of our
physicians and is now nearly well, but
not sufficiently strong by any means
to enable the boy to work. Last Mon.
day morning this boy walked into the
office of the doctor who had been at
tending him, and asked if his arm was
well enough so that he could go to
work on farm. The doctor told him
that under no circumstances would II
do for him to do that kind of work.
The boy then informed the doctor

A Crazy Sot Carves Four Chi
cagOans i'm a Street Car.
CHICAGO, April ia drunken man
with butcher knife in his hand slash
ing right and left, caused panic in a
crowded northbOund State street car at
l O'Clock this morning. The man, whose
name is said to be BILLY" Patterson.
boarded the car at Sixteenth street. He
had just showed himself inside the door
when he pulled knife from his coat
pocket and began fourishing it. The
women passengers began to scream and
tried to escape from the car, but it was
so crowded that the front door was
blocked and nobody was able to get out.
One blow struck Archey PaJnew, saloon
ist at No. S74 Blue Island avenue, in the
neck, cutting a cash five inches in
length. The blood from the wound
spurted out to the opposite side of the
car. Another blow was aimed at Henry
PatneW. 1t caught him in the face,
nearly severing his jaw and cutting the
lip in twain. Thomas Brennan, of No.
25 South Water street, was slashed on
top of the head aud it is feared that the
blade penetrated the skull. The in
iured men were cared tor by DR.. Mer
rlll, who says that Archev PatneW is
liable to die. Patterson was arrested
and locked up at the Harrison station.
He raved like a madman in his cell.
There was no prOvOcatiOn for the cut

HOW 1T OCCURRED.
The SemaphOres Ont of order and
Clear Track Presumed.

Clear Track Presumed.
The Milwaukee trains are run on
what is known as the "block SYSTEM
from point about half mile
above Chestnut street station. and to
the fact that this system was out of
order the accident was due. The Short
line train on the Milwaukee, which
leaves ST. Paul for the Flour City
IL 80 started out exactly on time. A
careful examination of the semaphOres
at Chestnut street showed engineer
Cooper and fireman johnson OF
engine 22S that they were entitle
to the track and they sailed out at
lhe usual rate of speed, which
at the place of the acci-
dent must have been about twelve
miles per hour. About this same time,
II 80, the regular evening freight,
the engine of which was run
by. Engineer Charles Danforth
and Fireman Harry Arnold,
of Engine No. 439 came along from
Minneapolis. Usually this train reaches
st. Paul before the time tor the IL 80
passenger to start out, but last evening
it was a trip behind time. In events OF
a case of this kind the "block system"
comes into service, and Engineer Dan
ford and Fireman johnson exam
ined the semaphores at the west
end, and, finding that they
were entitled to the track, set the sig
nal and started boldly oh. They
had not gone far along the
base of the dark, dismal and
winding track which hangs half sus-
pended between the bluff and the
river at that point, and was
just on the frog which con-
meets the double track convincing at
that point when the crash came. Both
engines were completely demolished,
sharing the track about evenly, the
freight engine being thrown to the
right, and right on the edge
of the river bank and
The freight cars Immediately after
the freight engine were empty,
and they are, consequently, piled
about twenty feet high just
west of and around tine
wrecked engines. No efforts were
made to clear the track last evening on
account or the vast amount of
debris thrown in heap by the
wreck. 1t was nothing less than
miracle which saved the lives of the
-edgineers and tiremen of both
trains as we'll as number of fatal
tiles among the larger number of
passengers aboard the short line.

HEAVY SLUMP IN SILK.

Million.

A Big Firm in Gotham Fails for a
Million.
New YORK. April IA big failure
that of the we'll known firm of Louis
FRANKIE & Co., raw silk importers, ITO
Grand street, who are also manufacture
ers of thrown silk at Paterson, n. j..
Louis Frank and Henry w. Strauss, the
partners of the firm, made a general as
Signment, without preference, to
Lawyer Adolphus II. Stoiber. There
were rumOrS current several days ago
that a silk house was s'in trouble" but
the trade had no idea that the firm of
Louis FraIike & Co. were embarrassed,
as they were supposed to have capital
of at least S500,000. Sympathy is eX-
pressed for the firm and it is hoped they
will get an extension of time. The
liabilities are said to be upwards of
100000, with nominal assets of
Sl,20O,O00 The causes attributed
for the embarrassment are in
ability to raise money to
meet maturing obligations, the strin-
gency OF the money market, the stop
page of accommodations by the banks
and losses by recent failures in Pater-
son. 1t is said the firm lost in all the
recent silk trade failures, that they
have been carrying great many small
concerns who do not pay promptly and
find difficulty in making collections.
Their outstanding accounts are large.
ana they were liberal in credits. They
imported the bulk of their raw silk
from France, China and. Japan, and
bought in the local market. They are
said to be one of the firms who bought
heavily of raw silks in 1888, when prices
were low, and made big profit. They
generally carried stock of about $780,
900. Their paper heretofore had sold at
low rates as gilt-edged, but recently, it
is said. they found difficulty in dis
posing of it, although their financial
position was unquestiOned.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 1.-THE
funeral of Hon. Samuel jackson Ran
dali, which took place this afternoon,
was one of the most silently imposing
events ever witnessed in this city in
many day. There was an absence of
all outward demonstration, but the faces
of the thousands who had gathered as
showed that their feelings had suffered
a severe shock. The funeral train from
Washington reached the Ridge avenue
station a few minutes after 3. The
cOrtege moved at once toward West Lau-
rel Hill cemetery, headed by the hearse,
AS the procession marched from the
railroad station to the burial place, led
by the Samuel Randall association, only
the somber sound of muff1ed drums was
heard. When all had taken positions
which formed a hollow square around
the open grave, the widow and other
relatives were escorted to seats at the
foot of the grave. DR.. Chester, of Wash
ington, recited the burial service, and
the casket was opened so that those
present might be permitted to take a
look at the departed statesman. "A quar-

which was followed by prayer by Rev.

OXFORD. Neb., April 17.-Oxford is
all torn up over highly sensational
scandal, the facts of which have just
come to light. About the middle OF
February Henry III. Camp, of the Farm
ers' State bank, went to Madison, Wis,
where he married charmingly pretty
society belle of that city. Shortly after
wards they came to Oxford and lived in
perfect bliss till the latter part of March.
Mrs. Camp at that time grew homesick,
and, with the reluctant consent of her
husband, departed for the East upon
the pretense of visiting her relatives. A
few days after her departure, however,
Mr.. Camp was hurriedly called to Chi
cago by telegram, and arriving there
was handed letter written to Mrs.
Camps parents, saying she had flown
with Ii. F. Ferguson. The letter was
signed bv Ferguson himself. MIR. Camp
recognized the name as that of travel
ing man who had visited in Oxford the
week previous, and at once camped on
his trail. He found the two had met
at Lincoln and travelled together as far
east as Louisville. There he lost track

TO PROVIDE FOR OLD AGE.
Canada's Government Consider.
ing an Annuity Scheme.

ing an annuity SC0ome.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 17.-It is under
stood that the government has under
consideration an important measure,
drawn up by the secretary of state, with
a view to Offering the work ing classes
advantages of gigantic scheme of CO.
operative insurance, and that an ell
deavOr will be made to get the bill
The main idea is to enable the working
people to insure for themselves COM
petence in old age. Any person desir-
Gus of providing an annuity for HIM
self or herself may do SO by arranging
to pay in so much per year to the
government MP to any age between fifty
and sixty. At the end of the time stip-
ulated payments are to cease and the
annuity commences. The annuity may
take one of two shapes-either the an
nuity is paid simply as interest on the
deposit, In which case the deposit itself
is paid over to the heirs of the depOsitOr
on his death, or an annuity is paid to
the depOsitOr on a scale calculated from
both the interest and capital of the de-
pOsit, in which case the annuity will be
much larger, but there will be nothing
left at the depositor's death. The larg-
est annuity that can be provided for
by any one person will be $500
per year. In case of sickness
or death before the annuity falls due,
the money paid is available at once for
the depositor or the heirs. The secre-
tary of state has availed himself of va
rious features of the German and
French systems. The smallest. pay
ments, if continued for life time. will
amply protect the insured in old age.
The scheme is aimed to he a corrective
against improvldence, and will afford
to the working classes protection they
cannot pay for TO ordinary insurance
companies. Women can enjoy the
same advantages as men by making
payments, and various clauses in the
bill will protect the rights of married
women
