The National Line Freight Steam-

Tho Crew Escape After n Night Of Thrill
Ing Danger, Four Hundred Mad

periI


The National Line Steamship Com
pany received q cablegram Wednesday
afternoon confirming the fire and aban-
aonment of the steamship Egypt. The
company say: On July 15, five days out
from New York, fire was discovered in
the lower hold of the steamer among
eight hundred bales of cotton. The
matches were battened down and
efforts made to smother the flames,
but in spite of all tho efforts of the
crew and the twenty-five cattle-men
on board, the fire burned flercely and
spread to four hundred cases of lard oil
which were stored amidships. The heat
then became so great that all hands
were driven aft, and the cattle, driven
mad by the flames, stampeded and over
run the ship. The crew battled with
the fire all the night of the 18th, and at
daybreak on the 10th, seeing that their
efforts were futile, it was decided to
abandon the vessel and take to
the boats The captain and all of
the seventy-two men of the officers
and crew and the twenty-five cat
tlemen then left the ship in three boats,
and after tossing about until s o'clock
on Thursday night, the 18th inst, were
picked up by the oil tank steamer Man.

CONTRACT VIOLATED.
The Government Sues to Recover Land
Granted to the Northern Pacific Rail

The Government Sues to Recover Lands
Granted to the Northern Pacific Rail-
way.
A bill in equity was filed in the U. s.
Circuit Court, at st. Paul, Mimi, against
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
Western Union Telegraph Company and
the Northwestern Telegraph Company,
setting forth that the defendant corpo-
rations have failed to carry out
the provisions of the acts of Con-
gress of July 2, 1864, and April 10,
1869, in which the railroad company
was granted valuable land concessions
from the United States. One of the
provisions of the act was that the rail-
road company should erect and main
tain telegraph system. Subsequently
the Northern Pacific made contracts
with the telegraph companies, and the
complaint alleges that the contracts
were beyond the powers of the railroad
to make or the telegraph companies to
receive, and were induced by improper
and corrupt considerations, and were
against public policy, and in violation
of the rights of the United States. The
court is, therefore, asked to annul the
contracts. The complaint is signed by
Attorney-General Miller.

Guatemala Handicapped by Discontons
Among Soldiers.
Senior Castillanos, the Spanish Minis
ter at the City of Mexico, has been in
formed that two Spanish warships have
been ordered to Central America. Sew
eral revolutionary bands are marauding
near the Mexican frontier in Guate-
malan territory. Both Guatemala and San
Salvador are trying to mass troops with
the utmost haste, but Guatemala finds
difficulty in the dissatisfaction of her
soldiers. A Guatemala special dispatch
claims that the Guatemalan forces SO
greatly outnumber the Salvadorians
that in the present week the tables will
be turned.
A dispatch to the London Times from
Buenos Ayres says: Early on Saturday
tho artillery, joined by some civilians,
took the first steps to overthrow the
Government The troops and the police
parleyed. Firing was opened at Paler-
mo, and soon extended to Plaza Lavalle.
The infantry and artillery, with
mitrailleuses, kept up heavy firing all
the morning. The police fred at and
dispersed crowd around the Govern
ment House, but the people kept firing
from houses. A determined group of
forty men stood pluckily to their arms
in front of the Government House, while
the roar of the artillery and the roll Of
the musketry came nearer and nearer.
A policeman in mere wantoness split an
Englishman's head open with his saber,
and bystander shot the policeman
down. In the afternoon the revolution
ary government issued its first decree.
This ordered the mobilization Of the
National Guard, and appointed Nicholas
Menalez chief of police. At 8 o'clock on
Saturday afternoon, two attacks were
made by the government troops on
citizen batallions. The troops were re-
pulsed both times Policemen and
artillerymen are lying dead in heaps.
The chief of police, Capdeville, is
wounded. The Minister of War is re-
ported dead. Sharp fighting continues
around the artillery barracks. Here

Tho London News gives the following
details of the recent riots at Erzeroum:
On Juno 90 the soldiers were ordered to

began massacre of the Armenians, and
the Turkish populaco joined in the at

OVERCAMB LOCK.JAW.
One Woman who Was Proof Against tn
Affliction,

AmlCtiOns
1t is general acknowledged theory
that "tetanus," usually known as '1ock-
jaw" is fatal to those attacked. A re-
cent case which occurred at Portsmouth,
Ont, proves that there is an exception
to every rule. About six Weeks ago Mrs.
Doyle, wife of Mr.. James Doyle, q
guard in the penitentiary, trod on q
nail, which made q nasty wound in her
foot. She dressed the wound, and short
ly it was apparently we'll. Ten days
after the occurrence she was attacked
by aches and pains, and had to take to
her bed. At first her jaws commenced
to stiffen, and then each muscle in the
body, one by one, became rigid and USE
less, the teeth clenched firmly. She lay
on her back for many days, paralyzed in
body, but sound in mind. Her hands.
with fingers clenched, were drawn up
over her shoulder, and every other
limb was perfectly rigid. During
the many long weary days and
nights, while she lay facing
what all thought certain death, she
was fed my means of clay pipe, the
stem of which was inserted through a
vacancy caused by lost tooth. Grad
ually she sank until she apparently ap-
peared to be debilitated past all hopes,
but when at the lowest ebb her jaws
slowly relaxed, and then one by one her
limbs and muscles resumed their normal
functions. She became enabled to take
proper nourishment, and now is on the
road to recovery. She was attended by
DIR. Phelan, who says that the case is a
most unusual one.

JRAzED BY HIS BRIDE.

Young Girl Journeys From Wales to
Iowa to Find Her Betrothed n Ravlng
Maniac.
A sad case of insanity is reported from
Columbus Junction, Ia. John Williams
is well-to-do farmer of forty. He was
engaged to marry young lady who
came all the way from Wales to wed
him. He procured the license Thursday
and the marriage was to take place that
afternoon, Tut just as the ceremony was
to be performed Williams went raving
crazy and attacked his bride furiously,
attempting to stab her with knife. He
was with difficulty secured and locked
up. The sight of his betrothed seems
to madden him and he raves and strug-
giles to get at her. The poor girl is
frantic. Doctors think his lonely life
on the farm has caused his break down.

A serpent-Shaped Cloud.

A black cloud resembling great
serpent reached downward from the
dense black masses of storm clouds that
had formed during the afternoon, and
moving in south-easterly direction de-
molished the buildings of three farmers
living nine miles northwest of Marshall,
MINI. A child of Felix Deareau had its
leg broken; another had its head crushed
and died during the night. Mrs. Deareau
was seriously bruised. Mrs. A. M.
Opdahl and child were blown by the
cyclone onto wire fence and seriously
bruised. Two of Opdahl's horses were
carried from the barn to a pasture near
by without injury.

Prlvnte Dining Rooms OF the Financiers
in tho Ohio Penitentiary to 10 Closed.
When the present administration took
charge of the Ohio penitentiary there
was rule in vogue permitting prison
ers employed in certain offices to draw
uncooked rations and have them cooked
and served apart from the other con-
victs. Prisoners employed in the SEQ
retary's, stewards and deputy warden's
offices and two or three other places
were accorded this privilege, and,
as matter of course, they Jared better
than most of the prisoners, getting
the choicest bits from the kitchen
and having them cooked and served
to them in better style than to those
who ate in the big dining room. Warden
Dyer has determined to stop this prac-
tice, and promulgated an order prohibits
ing the issuing of raw rations, and pro-
viding that hereafter all prisoners shall
be furnished the same quality and kind
of food. This will not, however, pre-
vent those who can afford it from buy
ing certain luxuries which has always
been allowed prisoners, but it will
break up the private table system, and
compel all prisoners to eat at the same
table and in the regular dining
room. A number OF prisoners will be
affected by the change, prominent
among them being e. L. Harper, Of
Fidelity Bank fame; Treasurer Coleman,
of Warren County; Cashier Rhodes, Of
Champaign County; Treasurer Simons,
of Darke County; Lawyer Smith, Of

Ruling as to "sample Copies"

Attorney-General Miller has decided
that the Penman's Journal, published
in New York City, was not unmailable
as second-class publication because it
printed upon the wrappers of its Sam
pie copies" an instruction to postmasters
that 'if not called for by the party to
whom addressed, postmaster please de-
liver to some local teacher" The Attor-
ney-General holds that this superscrip-
tion is fully warranted by the law,
which provides that sin all cases direc-
tions for transmitting, delivery and for
warding or return shall be deemed part
of the address"
