Collision

ST. Louis, Dec. A wreck occurred
at the crossing of the Wabash and Alton
roads at jacksonville today. The south
bound limited on the Chicago a. Alton
was standing at the depot on the Cross
Ing when the whistle of the Wabash
train Was heard. The engineer at once
stated his train and had got all across but
the rear sleeper, Matterborn, when the
engine on the Wabash crashed into it,
cutting it completely In two and plowlng
its way for some rods, finally burying
itself in the ground. The Chicago g.
Alton depot stands at the angle of the
the two roads and the debris of the wreck
was piled up all around it. There we're
eight persons in the sleeper. Fred Smith
or Pekin, ILL.,, and Judge J.. K. Riffell of
Kansas City were instantly killed. Judge
Riffelrs head was torn from his body and
the rest of the remains plnioned under a
pile of wreckage. W. B. Knight of Kan
sas City was bruised and badly scalded
by steam. Edwin Giles, a young man
from Mount Vernon, N. Y, was cut
about the head and badly hurt. James
E. Clark, OF Van Tassdel s. Co., leather
dealers of Boston, was also quite badly
bruised. The wounded were removed to
the hospital and will doubtless recover
with the possible exception of Knight.

A CAVES IN.


The Lining and Missionary Work Piled
Upon Dead and Dying workmen.
JOLIET, Ills, Dec. "A terrible acct
dent occurred at the blast furnace de-
partment of the Miners Iron u Steel
works today. The furnace, which was
blown out for refining and repairs, made
necessary by the recent explosion which
was attended with loss of life, fell to the
ground without warning while the men
were engaged at work on it. Eleven
men were at work in the inside ut the
bottom and about six on top when the
accident occurred. The masonry work
and furnace Innings were piled upon each
other in a confused heap, mingled with
the dead and dying workmen. A band
of willing laborers at once gathered at
the scene and began the work of recovery
and rescue. Gathered about them and
urging them to renewed efforts we're the
wailing wives and children of the unfor-
tunate men. Within half an hour they
had succeeded in taking out eight bodies.
Five of the unfortunate were dead,
crushed almost out of all semblance to
human shape, while the other three were
apparently fatally injured.
The killed were: Gust. Loosa, Nels
Larson, John Peterson, Theodore Larson
and Stats Freuck.
The fatally injured were: Pat Killien,
Peter Erickson and August Swanson.
One man was buried in the water tank
and another cut in two. One of the men
on the top of the furnace escaped with
out serious injury. The wreck can not
be cleared before morning.

At the business meeting of the Y. M. G.
A. held Tuesday night some measures
were discussed which will vitality effect
the future or the organization. The ex-
ecutive committee reported that the af-
fairs were in good condition and the work
progressing. The association has pur-
chased new furniture and song books and
received a number of subscriptions from
leading newspapers and periodicals. The
treasurer's report shows that although the
organization is in debt sufficient amounts
have been subscribed, to meet the liabili-
ties. During the past month ten new
members have been added and three were
converted during the week Of prayer.
The subject Of incorporation was fully
discussed and there is a feeling that the
society should take definite steps in the
matter in the near future. After discuss.
ing several minor subjects the meeting
adjourned.

canvassed the state election returns to.
day. All the members were present ex.
cept Lieutenant Governor Fletcher, who
did not arrive until late to night after the
result had been declared. 1t is not
though. this can invalidate the count in
any way. The results On governor were
as follows: Mellette, republican, 34,S30;
Loucks, independent, 24,591; Taylor,
democrat, 18,4s4. This gives Mellette,
the republican candidate, a plurality of

Pierre's majority, 1884.

yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock tn
guard gates of locks we're closed and the

tonnage which last year seemed to have
reached its limit for a year Or so to coma
has increased in such propo rtions TINT its
magnitude Can hardly be realized. New

year a serious break occurred at the locks

increased to 9,O41 ,213,
Last years tonnage took a jump of 20
per cent and at the time it was thought
the tonnage had reached such propor-
ions that such an increase could not oc-
cur again, but this year the canal has
beaten the record. Wheat dropped off
less than n per cent, or 14,4s4 bushels,
but this is explained by the fact that flour
has increased 45 per cent. The west is
grinding more of its wheat every year.
Ihe same can be said of other grain, al
though the poor crops of tie last summer
mad a good deal to do with the dropping

by the stopping ofthe Port Arthur
mines. The tables give an increase in
various articles. This great gain cannot
be passed without comment, and the re-

OF the west, whose produce and many
necessities of life pass through the 500
canal every year on the way to their des-
tinations. The value Of freight tonnage

Parnell may Continue as Leader.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The Nationalist men,
bers of the house of commons met again
today to further the question of Parnell's
leadership. The latest phase of the sit
uatlon bids fair for m argument. A
committee was appointed to wait upon
Gladstone and endeavor to obtain from
him assurances that he desired Parnell.
The committee consists of Parnell, Sex
ton, Healy, Justin, Mccarthy, John Red
mund, Deasey, Power and Leamy. Par
nell will take no part in the negotiations
with Gladstone. Before the appointment
of the committee Parnell asked the meet
ing for an informal show of hands on
Clancy's amendment. This disclosed the
fact that Barry and Chance continued to
hold out against the amendment. Be
sides Gladstone, the committee will also
see Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt and Nor
ley and endeavor to conclude the nego
tiations tomorrow.

Land Commissioner Golf Makes a New
Ruling.

Ruling.
ST.. PAUL, Dec. 3.-According to q
special from Pierre to the Pioneer Press,
the state of South Dakota is liable to lose
some 10000 acres of lands granted by the
general government. The register and
receiver of the Pierre land office today
re 'eived a decision rendered by United
States Land Commissioner Golf in the
matter of the state indemnity school
lands. In accordance with the enabling
act the last legislature ordered that Land
Commissioner Parker select the school
lands of the state, known as indemnity
lands, granted on account of deficiency
in the original surveys and other reasons.
These altogether amounted to about TO-
600 acres. According to his iaterpreta-
ton Of the enabling act Commissioner
Parker applied ut the land office
for the whole amount of lands
due in this district, considering
them more valuable than could be found
in any other district of the state. This
application is now denied by the general
land Office, the decision being based on
precedent in other states in this matter,
which he considers the definition of
the enabling act insufficient to contro-
vert. This means the state shall select in
demnity lands from government lands
in districts in which they occur. 1t is
estimated this would result in loss OF
something like 10000 acres of these lands
to school fund. In Huron, Aberdeen and
Pierre districts sufficient land remains to
provide for this, hut in WATERFOWL and
Yankton districts none Of these lands re.
main. The case will be appealed to
secretary of interior.

The Fourth of July Past.

1t is the general expression that
the past Fourth of July in this city
was one Of the most quiet and or
derby of any previous national ami
versary day for several years past,
There was less noticeable intoxica-
ton on the streets and less bolster
Gus conduct observable in the city
than usual 1t is learned that
quietude characterized the daymore
than heretofore in many of the
towns and cities in the State. Here
the little firecracker and other eX-
plosives were not permitted to be
quiet, yet there was not the con-
tinuOus racket common in years
gone by. There was not the usual
Fourth of July grafton, which it
may not always be convenient to
supply on these national occasions;
but the GRAFTON, or something
equivalent to it, should have place
on the program on the national an
niversary exercises whenever prac-
ticable The pulpits of the country
have of late years appropriated the
anniversary of our national indie
pendence to discourses fitting the
day. Patriotism and love of coun-
try are Christian virtues which are
proper themes for Sunday dis
courses, and suitable words are
spoken by clergymen reviving mem
cries of revolutionary days. A
number Of worthy objects appealed
to the generosities of the citizens
here on the Fourth by bountiful
spread tables, mostly in aid of new
church enterprises, or for the bene-
fit Of those now in existence.
