THREE MEN KILLED.
DEs MONIES, Jan. 5.-Three men were
injured fatally and half dozen seriously
| by rear end collision on the Rock Islsno
near Malcolm late last night. Both were
freight trains and the collision was due
to fog prevailing which made the lights
on the first train invisible. Elmer and
VIM. Meyers, of Glover, are so badly hurt
they died to-day, and John Rhodes, a
stockman from Dallas county, is not ex-
pected to live. Six others were severely
bruised but not fatally.
NEGRO EMIGRATION.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Jan. 5.-Four more
carloads of negro emigrants from upper
South Carolina and North Carolina have
passed through here, all bound for the
Southwest. This emigration is profitable
chiefly to railroads. Laborers on large
cotton plantations in Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Arkansas and Texas are very scarce.
GREAT GALE IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, Jan. ga gale has been
raging all over Great Britain to-day.
Much damage was done throughout the
country, and many wrecks are reported.
The Protestant church at Birr, Ireland,
was struck by lightning and badly
damaged.
IT WAS HALLER's BODY.
SEATTLE, Jan. 4-The body found up
on the beach between Marshalrs point
Saturday afternoon by j. w. Hannah was
not that of DR.. T. T. Minor, but that of
G.. Morris Haller. How the mistake
could have been made is very strange,
but nevertheless it was made. The re-
celpted freight bill to DR.. Minor found
in one of the pockets of the vest upon
the body was looked upon as proof posi-
tive that the bady was that of DR.. Minor.
WATER FAMINE ABATINa.
TACOMA, Jan. 5.-The water famine
that has done so much damage to the
steamboat business and caused so much
inconvenience to the citizens of the small
Ter Sound cities is aba'ing. To-day for
the first time since the cold weather there
was plenty of water in the reservoirs sup
plying the steamboats, that land at the
city or at the D. R. g. N. wharf.
PARNELL IS DIGN1FIED.
LONDON, Jan. 5-Parnel's friends are
nat aturally using their utmost endeavors to
clear their leader of completely in Cap
tain O'Shea's suit for divorce, and they
already discuss the case as settled in Par
nell's favor. O'Shea, however, is persist
ent. The case will not be heard until
March. In the meantime ParnelI main
tains his usual reticence and Is decidedly
the most dignified figure in the whole
affair; he does not give even the most
friends the slightest inkling as
to whether he intends to withdraw from
the leadership of the Irish party, or If he
should withdraw, whom he will recon-
mend to succeed him. There is no lack
Of able candidates for the position. They
include John Dillon, Justin Mccarthy,
Healy, Sexton, William O'Brien and T.
P. O'Connor, end each has his following.
1t is believed eventually the contest will
be between Dillon and O'Brien.
RUSSIA Is DISTURBED.
LONDON, Jan. 5-The New Years |
speeches of the continental rulers are
cheerful and confident. The most dig
turbing outlook in continental affairs is
to be found in Russia where there is a
of disloyallty and nlhilism.
1t is asserted that the second slaughter |
Of exiles in eastern Siberia, which so deep
y moved the civilized world, was the
outcome of nibilism; but this must surely |
be another endeavor to impose on public

would have suffered. The loss is $4,000;
insurance $4,000.
