1t was at the national capital that Mr.
Christiancy-then a widower-met with
the misfortune of his life. There ne
formed the acquaintance of Lille Lugen-
beal, pretty employe of the treasury de-
partment. He was persuaded to marry
the young woman, and soon after resigned
his seat in congress to accept the place or

South America Mrs. Christiancy's conduct
was such that on the return home of the
couple the Judge secured divorce The

tiancy's sensitive mind that he abandoned
political life for ever and began a hermits
existence in lonely house at Lansing that
ended only with his death. He spent his
last days in writing an elaborate criticism
of the Bible from the standpoint of an
agnostic Some weeks ago he consulted a
physician regarding a painful swelling at
the base of the jaw. 1t was diagnosed as

his mind remained clear, and he kept at

reputation will rest largely upon his legal
decisions and their accompanying opinions,
for he is conceded to have been one of the
soundest judges of his time.

News gathering, as it Is understood and
practiced in America, is tabooed in En-
glish journalism. Reporters work in
restricted paths. They cannot interview
and must not anticipate anything in the
way of news. If Bob Smith, after a long
career of brutality, is at last arrested for
beating his wife, the bare fact may be
stated, but the details of the assault must

Expulsion Clause of the Socialist Bill
Cut Out,

Cut Out.
The consideration of the Socialist bill
was continued IN the reichstag Oh the
23d. After much debate the house
adopted the eleventh, thirteenth and
twenty clauses Of the measure.
Dung the discussion Herr Herrfurth,
minister OF the Interior, declared t'iat
the clause providing for he dpcIa ati II
OF minor state of siege wheT@ and
whenever the government deems ex-
Pedlent, WAS indispensable and urgent
ly necessary. / lie period of the opera
tlcn OF the measure, he said, should not
be restricted. Only a permane Mt meas
ure would be etiicacioUs
The three clauses above mentioned
referred to the suppression Of perlOdi-
Gals and associations, and to appeals
against decisions.
Herr Buhl said that the National
Liberals were willing to vote for per-
manent measure. They were conv need
OF the danger OF the Social Democracy
and were resolved to protect the statr,
but they must oppose the expulsion
clause. The House ultimately rejected
the expulsion clause, and decided to
make the measure permanent by vote
of l66 to III.
In the vote upon the expulsion clause
the Conservatives voted against he mo
ton to omit that clause, but explained
that they would acqulesce IN the omis-
SION II the government did. Should
the government insist upon the ex-
pulslon clause, it is expected that the
relchstsg VIII reject the bill, as tEe
coalition against it is apparently too
TeSOiute to be overcome.

Six passengers are known to be dead,
and twenty-five more or less seriously

The train WAS running on usual time
and was approaching the trestle, known
as Wilkerson Creek trestle, when the
tender of the engine left the track.
The engineer imme ediatelv reversed the
lever but before the air brakes could he
operated the entire train had left the
track and Was rolling down the en- bank
ment.
The first intimation of anything uuus-
ual was a swaying Of the train. followed
by the front end of the sleeper going
over the embankment. There was a
crash and shock that threw the pas
sengers from one end of the car to the
other, out OF one berth into another,
and demolishing everything in the car.
A gentleman kicked out window,

BANKER DITMAN'S BODY FOUND,
The River Gives Up The Dead and Clears
Up Philadelphia MHs1erY.

Up = Philadelphia Mystery.
The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Banker Joseph c. Ditman,
OF Philadelphia, who was last seen
alive December ii last, WAS cleared up
on the 26th, by the finding of his decom-
posed and swollen body floating in the
Schuylklll River, under the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad bridge, at Fibert
Street. 1t had apparently just risen
to the surface. The discovery Was
made by three employees of the
Philadelphia gas works. The body
was taken on board the police tug and
search of the clothing made, which set
tied beyond all doubt the question of
identity. The diamond ring and gold
watch worn by Mr.. Dltman when alive
were found, and in walletin the inside
pocket OF the coat, besides some papers,
WAS card requesting the finder, in case
OF accidental death, to notify James
Pitcher, secretary of the Mutual Acct
dent ASSOCIATION, 320 Broadway, New
York. The card indicated that deceased
was insured in that association for S.
OU0.
On the afternoon of December IL
Banker Ditman started out from his
home Tor a drive in Fairmount Park.
About dusk park guard found his horse
and buggy IN the park, the vehicle be-
ing empty. The relns were broken near
the animals head, and the first impress
sion was that there had been runa-
way, and that the banker WAS
thrown from the buggy into the
water. The dragging q. the bottom of
the river WAS commenced and kept up
ior several weeks. Dynamite WAS also
used, bat all efforts to bring the body to
the surface proved unavalling. When
