A FEARFUL HORROR.
SLAUGHTER OF FIVE CHILDREN ON A
RAILROAD BRIDGE.
Paralyxed with Fear They Crouch Before
Train-Three Dashed to Death
Two Injured.
by telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l

PATERSON, n. j., July 20. "A slaughter oc-
CURED on the Erie railroad bridge over the
Passaic river this evening. Five children
returning from a blackberry expedition
with well-flled baskets started to cross the
bridge. When nearly across the bridge
which ia without rail OF foot-path, the
children saw a train approaching on the
west-bound track and stepped upon the
east-bound track. but the fast passenger
train came rushing toward them: The chll;
dren were paralyzed with fear and crouched
together directly before the approaching
train. The engineer saw them but dared
not apply the brakes suddenly, as that
course might have sent the tram through
the bridge. 1t was an awful moment.
People on the bank Of the river shouted TO
the children to get between the tracks,
but their cries were useless, for the heavy
locomotive struck the group of little ones
and hurled three of them upon the other
track dead.

The engineer was overcome at the ap-
palling sight. He had strength left, how
ever, to stick TO his post and stop the tram
rs soon as it had crossed the trestie. The
passengers left the cars, and strong men
and women felt a sickly feeling creeping
over them as the remains of three
slaughtered children met their gaze.

Nellie Warren, aged ten. and Ma
ME Warren, her sister. aged eight; were

was such as To move policemen and under

The committee on railroads in the

fixing the maximum coal rates in the
state as follows and prescribing a pen
atty of 1926 for each days failure on the
part Of the railroad companies to comply
with the provisions of the act:
For the first fifty (5O) miles or fractional
part thereof, seventy-fve (l5) cents per
ton; for any distance over fifty (50) miles
and not to exceed II hundred t10O) miles.
ninety five 1867 cents per ton: for any dis
lance over one hundred (100) miles and not
miles. one dollar and fifteen (S1.l5) cents
per ton; for any distance over one hun
dred and fifty (150) miles and not to ex-
coed two hundred (2OO) miles, one dollar
and thirty-fve ($195) cents per ton; for
any distance over two hundred (200) miles
and not to exceed two hundred and fifty
(250) miles, one dollar and tifty-five ($1.55)
cents per ton; for any distance over two
hundred and fifty (250) miles and not to

state have not yet found the ocean. Until
they do, ever all approximate estimate Of
the damage by floods canno be given.
CalifOrnians thought the snOw blockades
on the California & Oregon and Central
Pacific railroads were disastrous enough,
but the rainfall of one or two days has
possibly done more damage than all the
snow that fell in two weeks. In general,
it may be said the O has injured the
business men of cities; the floods have in
iured the farmer and the v%ineyardist. The
loss to the farmer has been indirect; to the
latter direct. From not being able to make
his usual shipments, even had he received
his customary orders, the business man
has suffered loss from the profits he would
have received. From having his fall sown
grain submerged and drowned out,
his fences and barns swept away,
his fruit trees and vines uprooted, the
farmer has lost not only his expected
profits, but also the gold that he has put
into his business and home, and the labor
OF years. As to which class has suffered
the most. taking into consideration their
relative wealth. may not be determined for
weeks or months. The villages on the
mountain slopes have suffered consider
able discomfort and loss from the heavy
depth OF snow that has covered their
houses and streets and shut off railroad
communication, but they realize thai much
snow means abundance of water for min.
ing up to late months in the season., and
that their loss will be more than repaid to
them.

MANDAN PIONEER: What a jewel is
consistency. In the Minneapolis Jour-
nal we find the following editorial note:
"North Dakota as the seat of the Louisi-
ana lottery machinery, would soon be.
come a Kissing and a by-word. the resort
of loafers and the home of the thriftless,
avoided by all honest and self-respecting
Immigrants"
Immediately beneath the above is the
following:
Don't forget to send in your guess on
the population of Minneapolis and St.
Paul. The necessary blank may be found
in another column. Some lucky guesser
will be awarded in gold and several others
will get the Journal for nothing"
And then in another column is to be
found that the ticket 1904 drew the
house and lot in the Big Boston lottery.
Really it seems that they have eyeless
swine lotteries in Minneapolis-even in
the Office of the over-righteous Journal.

Sugar and Hemp from Palms.

Some palm trees furnish a s~weetening juice.
The most famous of these is probably the
Areng, or sugar palm of Amboyna tArenge
.saccharifera), which grows in India and the
archipelago. It is a superb tree, with pin.
nate leaves twenty-five feet long, and is as
handsome as it is useful. A number Of species.
belonging to different genera furnish a kind
of hair of finer or coarser texture. It is
found in the fbrous sheaths Of the leaf stalks
and in the jagged edges Of the leaves. Cables
made Of the black, tough fbers Of the Areng
are preferred by the coasting sailors Of the
Spanish colonies on account Of their elasticity
and durability; and they are, moreover, very
fine. The hemp palm Of Japan and China
(Cham@rops ~excelsa, is available in the hands
Of the Industrious people Of those countries
for making the finer brooms, light strings
and q thousand articles Of daily use. Palms
Of coarser fiber, like the Pincaba Of Brazil
Neopoldina piacaba), furnish material for
blinds, brushes, brooms and the rollers Of
mechanical sweepers, which are much moro
durable than rollers fitted with steel teeth

where they could be seen all the time,
whereupon Judge Cochrane wanted to
know if the finance committee would

there was no response. Here was a lack

not take down these time-honored mot

Winship at the expense of Representa-
tive Walsh, but this didn't work. The
telegraph had flashed the news that it
was on Representative Walsh's motion
that the bill had been killed in the house.
The resolutions adopted thanked all
opponents to the lottery bill.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1890-02-14

The lottery revenue bill was Indefinite
ly postponed in the house by the adoption
of the resolution introduced by Hon.
George H. Walsh. The friends of the
measure killed it because they could not
agree on all of its provisions, and rather
than be divided and fall" they united
and took the military step in getting rid
of the measure so that other important
legislation could beproceeded with. The
100000 the lottery would have paid to
the state, had this measure been success
full, will be missed. Had it passed, Va
gers bill, appropriating $4,000 for seed
wheat for needy farmers, would have
been a possibility. It is useless now to
figure on state aid for this purpose.

A UNITED States farm exhibition on
wheels is the novel idea of John Gilman,
of Worcester, Mass. The scheme is to
have every state and territory furnish
n car or more, and fit up the same in a
suitable manner with all kinds of pro-
ducts their state or territory produces
and send a superintendent with the car
the state to pay the expenses of the
superintendent and $500 besides for
general advertising. Arrangements
are being made with all railroads to fur
nish and transport these cars free. Ex-
hibitions are to be made in the leading
cities of the country and the whole dis
play taken to the Worlds fair in 1892.
The cars are to be fitted up and ready
for transportation by May LIST next. It
will be left to each state to keep it's own
car supplied with pictures and circulars
setting forth the advantages of the state,
and to furnish products as they ripen from
time to time. It is designed to make it a
national fair on wheels. 1t is said that
twenty-one states have already res
ponded. This would doubtless be the
most beneficial way for the least money
to advertise North Dakota from now
until 1892. The commissioner of agri-
culture and labor will doubtless look
into the matter.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1890-02-14

The Minneapolis Tribune observes
that $50 far as it has been possible at
this distance to know anything about
the election of North Dakota's state
officers and of United States senators,
there has seemed to be unusual freedom
from suspicious circumstances. The
choice of senators, especially, has seemed
to be in most favorable contrast with
thatvof certain other states where rich
men have bought the seats outright"
The Tribune says it is glad to see the in
go on, however, and hopes no
real bribery will be proven.

The intense indignation expressed by
the outside press can be accounted for,
partially, by such appeals as the follow.

Corliss to the president:

Gamblers are seeking to fasten Louis

cabinet, the senators and the nation speak.
ing through associated press dispatches
can save us this infamy. l implore your
aid.

stronger had the chief justice not as.

The Bismarck correspondent of the
Fargo Argus gives the following inside
facts regarding Mr.. Haggart's declina-
ton of the marshalship:
1t has been rumored that John Hag-
CART declined the marshalslnp because
Senator Casey wired him his appoint
ment was liable to be held up if he
voted for the lottery bill. This is not
the facts as your correspondent gathers the
information. Senator Casey wired Mr..
Haggart that there was liable to be trouble
over confirming some appointments if the
lottery bill passed. Senator Haggart
wired back asking if the national admins.
tratiOn desired to dictate in the affairs of
state? Senator Pierce then wired Senator
Haggart that he need not be afraid of his
appointment, he would be confirmed.
Senator Haggart then wired President
Harrison respectfully declining the ap-
pointment as United States Marshal for
North Dakota. These, l believe, are the
facts.
