SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Sept. 21.-A
terrible row occurred at the corner of
Riverside avenue and Division street, at
late hour last night. A large and
small man were standing on the side
walk talking to woman inside yard.
The men were quarreling over the wo-
man. Presently the small man seize d
large rock with which he struck
the large man, splitting his head
open. AS soon as he recovered from the
blow, the large man made his escape.
The small man kissed the woman ten
derly, hurried away, and has not been
seen since. The large man was the wo-
mans husband. An hour afterward he
returned to the house to see his wife, ac-
companied by Police Captain Gus Mar
tin. Both men were drinking and
presently became engaged in a
controversy with the inmates of
the house. The police were
notified and two officers soon arrived,
but being unable to do anything with
the Captain, called in Alderman Not
bohm, who lives across the street. The
alderman spoke sharply to Captain Mar
tin. who resented by drawing a pistol
and beating, Notbohm over the head un-
mercifully, and would have probably
shot him had he not been overpowered
and his pistol taken from him.
The officers present declined to
arrest Martin without orders from Chief
Harbor, saying they had no authority to
arrest superior officer. Alderman
Notbohm was removed to his home
where he is now confined to his bed.
Captain Martin has been on the police
force and been a deputy sheriff here for
the past seven years. lie was always
brave officer, quiet in manners and
very popular, and never known to get
drunk before. His friends are at loss
to account for his strange conduct
The city council will hold special ses-
sion tomorrow when the matter will be
investigated.

WORK OF CONGRESS-.
THIS WEEKS PROGRAMME IN
HOUSE AND SENATE.
An Agreement On the Tariff Bill Not
Probable Before Tuesday or Wednes-
day-The Langston- v enable Case.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The unfn-
ished business before the senate is the
bill for the relief of the supreme court.
1t is probable that some action will be
taken on this and the bill for court for
private land claims, but it is difficult to
say what it will be. The bills next on
the order of business are two labor bills,
and they will be called up at the first
opportunity.
The agreement of the conferees on the
tariff is not probable before Tuesday or
Wednesday.
In the house the Langston-Venable
election case has reached the previous
question state and requires further ac-
tion before any other business can be
touched. The Republicans expect to
have quorum of their own Monday or
Tuesday. What follows the election
case depends largely on the tariff bill.
When that measure and the general de-
hcieHcy bill are disposed of, the house
will practically be ready to adjourn.
The Tariff Conferees.
The Republican conferees on the
tariff bill were in session all day today.
One Of them said tonight he was sat
lsHeu Will uHe progress maze, DuU Ue-
clined to talk regarding the change
made. He thinks it is likely the report
will be finished by Tuesday night.
Sugar Experts Opinion.
Henry A. Brown, ex-treasury depart
ment sugar expert, has senta letter to the
confereer1 on the tariff bill, embodying
a vigorous protest against the proposed
sugar schedule. He says the schedule,
as it stands, is complete surrender OF
the peoples interests, to foreign pro-
ducers and sugar refineries. 1t ag ain
opens the door to the coloration frauds,
which were not killed by the bill of
March, 1883. Brown wants proviso
added that all sugars not above No. 13
or l6 whichever may be adopted) in
color, testing above eighty degrees,
shall pay duty of three-tenths of a
cent a pound, and two-hundredths of a
centper pound, additional, for every de-
gree above eighty. Without some such
proviso the bounty plan will be farce
This proviso would also afford some pro-
lection to molasses boilers.

The Usual Crop Of Railroad
Disasters.
A Terrible Collision in the CITY
of Chicago.
An Excursion Train Crashed Into By
Suburban.
Five Mangled Corpses Taken From the
Wreck-Several Other Fatal
Accidents.
Associated Press Dispatches.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-A terrible railroad
accident occurred in the southwestern
portion of the city shortly after dark
this evening. A G. B. & @. suburban
train dashed into an Illinois Central ex-
cursion train returning from outside the
city. The collision resulted in a fright
full tragedy. For time the confusion
was so great, that even an approximate
idea of the loss of life was impossible to
obtain. The first reports from the police
had it that forty had met their death,
while the railroad officials said only two
or three persons were certainly known
to have been killed. Within half an
hour, however, five mangled corpses
had been dragged out of the heap of
broken timbers and twisted iron that
marked the spot where the collision
had taken place. By this time it had
also been ascertained that at least three
people were seriously injured and six
others slightly.
The collision took place near Douglas
park, and the victims were sundry ex-
cursionists just reaching the city on
their way home from an outing
Cause of the Wreck.
The freight train crew when uues-
toned, asserted that they passed Miilafd
avenue under clear signal. Millard
avenue is only short distance from
where the smash-up occurred, and the
freight crew claim that when the crash
came, the red lights on the rear of the
Illinois Central train were burning with
extreme dimness. To this the fearful
result following was attributed without
hesitation.
Other people state that the Burling-
ton train was behind time and running at
a reckless rate, and that to this was due
the fact that the engineer could not stop
when he saw the Illinois Central lights
The latter train was "unblocked" and
waiting to be released when run into.
The Victims.
The dead are: Lille Diener, Martha
Diener, Otto Schloef, aged II, and two
men unknown.
The fatally injured are; Lena Refs
ing, Minnie Pilgrim and Eddie Torpe.
In addition to these dozen other peo-
pie were more or less seriously bruised
and some OF them had limbs fractured.
The conductor and engineer of the sub
urban train have been arrested.

Senator ingalls, and Literature.

From the New York Star.
met friend from Atchison, Kansas,
yesterday, who knows Senator Ingalls,
well, and who has just been with him
in Washington. He tells me that the
senator looks forward to his possible
defeat with considerable serenity, for
he is poor, and believes that he could
make a moderate fortune by lit
erature, were he out of politics. His
price for newspaper articles is eight
cents a word, and for articles for the
North American Review he gets great
deal more. Senator Ingalls, reckons that
if he could devote all his time to litera-
ture he could make $4,000 year. He
told my friend that he now had untitled
orders for articles which would make
10000 words in the aggregate, and that
he was waiting for lit
tie leisure to write them. He
may be mistaken about his earning
power as literary man, should he go
out of politics. He does not take into
account the important fact that the
great reason of his being sought for now
by publishers and editors is his political
prominence. Were he not senator for
Kansas and president pro tenn. of the
United States senate, people would not
be so eager to read his productions.
Should he become a private citizen, he
would not be able to sell his wares as
easily at high prices.

says: The Jackson orchard, that was Of
fered for sale for $3.50 ali acre, was with
drawn from the market last month. The
crop from the place sold for $277 an acre,
and the property had little or no care
either. A gentleman offered 1920 an
acre for the orchard last week, and the
offer was declined.

The Charges Against Master Workman

PHILADELPHIA, Septe 81. = General
Master Workman Powderly left the city
today before reporter could see him
regarding the confession of the New
York Central trainwreckers, implicat-
ing Master Workman Lee. In his alb
sence Mr.. Wright, of the general execu-
tive board, said until the confessions
were published the board believed the
accused men innocent, but since they
confess they took part in the wrecking,
the board will make thorough investi-
cation and lend every assistance to the
authorities to bring the guilty party to
justice. Wright could not believe that
Master Workman Lee had any knowl-
edge of the affair.
