ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF.
a Crime of Mysterious Surroundings Be
ing Cleared Up.

ing Cleared Up.
BERLIN, Dec. 26.-The mystery sur
rounding the death Of the ten-year-
girl, Amelie Kroll. whose body was
found by workmen on Thursday morn-
ing last hanging to tree on the Weis-
sensoo suburb, has been cleared The
story told by the girls parents at the
time YVES that they had sent Amelie out
begging with her twelve-year-old brother
the day before and that the boy had re.
turned alone, saying that he had lost his
sister in the crowd and could not find
her again. The police became SUSPECT
GUS OF the parents, however, on account
of their contradictory statements in their
voluble explanations of the girls move
ments.
1t seems that Kroll attacked the girl
in fit of rage because she returned
empty handed from begging expedi-
ton. His blows were harsher than he
intended and the child died from the
effects Of the beating In order 10 CON
ceal the murder from the other children
Kroll and his wife slept with the corpse
all night and the next night Kroll took
tile body out and, after imparting to it
the appearance Of an outrage having
been committed, hoping thus to mystify
the police and avert suspicion from him
self, he hanged the body where II was
subsequently discovered Both Krell
and his wife will be tried for the crime.

IN A THICK FOG.
Two Passenger Trains Run Together
with Disastrous Results.

with Disastrous Results.
LONDON, Dec. ga fatal railway ac-
cident occurred Thursday at Barnby,
near Beccles, i'll Suffolk. The fog, which
covered England, was very thick in this
vicinity, and was one cause of the terri
BILE collision. A train from Beccles,
loaded with passengers, and running at
considerable speed on the small railway
branch that connects with Lowestoft
colliGed with another train, also carry
ing a considerable number Of passengers
The two trains were badly shattered
and fearful cries went out from the
wreck, the injured, owing to the fog,
not knowing the extent Of the disaster
and unable to see how the accident &C
Cured. Aid was promptly Forthcoming
from the neighboring places, and the
dead and injured were dragged from the
shattered carriages Three had been
killed outright and sixteen were in
jured, some of them likely to die.
Nearly all the passengers were going
to their friends or home TO spend Christ
mas
AS many lived in the near vicinity,
special trains soon brought relatives to
the scene, and the spectacle as the dead
and wounded were beheld, was most
painful During the rescue the workers
eveI at distance OF few feet had to
guide each other by their voices. In
Beccles and Lowestoft the news threw a
gloom ever the preparations for Christ
mas and special allusion was made to
the event at the evenings Church

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
MINERS STARVED OUT.
The Great Strike in the Indiana Coal
Fields Declared OE.


TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Dec. 28.-The
miners strike in Indiana has been de-
clared off. That was the decision of the
delegation convention here Thursday
afternoon, and the result was announced
Thursday night. Twenty-eight accred-
tied delegates were present from all
quarters Of the state when the decisive
vote was taken, National Vice Presi-
dent Penna did not arrive till o'clock
in the afternoon, and his failure to ar
rive greatly delayed the proceedings,
The convention was osten sibly to
provide more fully Cor the wants Of the
idle miners, but actually II was destined
to be test Of strength between the two
factions, one desiring to keep up the
strike till the end, and the other to
wind up the strike snd return to work
No other national eficer was present ex-
cept Vice President Penna
In an interview with that official he
said he doubted If National President
Rae knew the convention had been
called. All the state officers of the
miners were present, and State President
Cummesky was in the chair. There was
much excitement when q motion to de-
clare the strike off WAS put and the de-
bate was heated and acrimonious.
A strong minority fought against the
strike being declared off. The vote was
II to II to end the strike, and the great
strike of the Indiana miners begun with
the appreciation of the national officers
was officially revoked A resolution de-
clartng all existing contracts with the
operators in force was adopted, and
hence the scale in existence at the time
of the strike, and which the operators
claimed the miners had broken faith on,
is once more reinstated. The miners
will return to the idle shafts next Mon
day.
The operators here are jubilant at the
turn affairs have taken. The strife has
been disastrous one to both miners and
operators, and many Thousands Of dol
lars have been lost ON both sides. The
miners were poor and half organized,
and relief did not come in as had been
expected; hence there were many cases
Of destitution.
The assistance of the national board
did not count as effectively as hoped
for, and rather than starve to death
many miners all over the state were on
the verge of returning TO work. This
had influence ON the delegates and this
decision was the result.
The general public receives the news
of the ending of the strike with great
satisfaction, although in the main sym
pathy was with the miners.

Seven Persons Killed and Many

Probably Rendered Invisible by the
Fog and storm-I.ist of the victims.
YoNKERs, N. Y, Dec. 26.-The Buff
falo and Niagara Falls special drawn by
Engine 406 consisted of a composite car
coach, the Wagner sleeper Burnside for
Buffalo, and the sleeper Gibraltar for
Niagara Falls via Rochester, left the
Grand Central depot at 1880 and pro-
Ceeded as far as Hastings-o s-on-the-Hudson,
when it was blocked by local ahead. 1t
had been at a standstill for about twenty
minutes when the St. Louis express
crashed into it. If the rear of the train
was protected by the usual signals the
fog and storm doubtless prevented the
engineer Of the colliding train from see
ing the warning in time to prevent the
disaster. The sleeper Gibraltar was well
filled, but the exact number of persons
on board is most difficult to learn as
Sleeping Car Conductor Knight was
checking up" the car at the time the
crash time.
Seven persons III all were killed, three
of whom have been identified, Their
names are A. M. Knight, conductor of
the Wagner car Gibraltar; A. M. Bald
win, Of New York, and Thomas W.
Tolley, Of Boston.
Those fatally injured are: T. Muir
ply, a lawyer Of New York; Mrs. E. D.
Ford, of New York, and G. w. Holly,
colored porter Of the Wagner car.
The seriously injured are DR., F. q.
Best, of New York; Mrs. II. r. Baldwin,
Miss Lillian Baldwin, Homer Baldwin,
all Of New York.
There Were eighteeR passengers in the
rear coach Of the Niagara and Buffalo
express. Only three of them escaped
uniniured. The bodies OF victims and
the injured were taken to Yonkers. The
accident occurred about one mile north
of Hastings at S:45 y. IL. The engine of
the St. Louis express ran into the rear of
the Buffalo and Niagara and completely
telescoped the last sleeper, which hap
pened to be the Wagner parlor car Glib
raltar. The crash came without a word
of warning.

Hereafter They VIII BE Made Upon
Merit Only.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Pursuant to
the directions embraced in letter from
the president to the head of each depart
ment, dated Dec. 4, 1891, the secretary
of the treasury has completed plan
which will take effect on Jan. 1 under
which all promotions In the treasury de-
partment will hereafter be made on a
basis of merit only, and as the result Of
competitive executions.
These executions will be made by an
examining board in the department
designated by the secretary and not by
the civil service commission, and as q
rule each examination for promotion
to any grade will be confined to clerks in
the next lower grade and in the same
Office or bureau. AS part of the plan
thus adopted daily record will be kept
of the efficiency Of each clerk by the
chief of his division, and in all examina-
tions this efficiency record will be the
element Of chief weight.
The efficiency record will give the
daily standing of each clerk for punetu-
ality, attendance, conduct Gncluding
personal habits, accuracy, industry,
aptitude and general ability. This new
departure, with which the officials Of
the treasury department are In full ao-
cord, removes all promotion from the
domain of his political and official favor

BERLIN, Dec. ga dynamite outrage
of a serious character has caused gen
eral excitement throughout the city.
One of the fayorite refreshment pavihons
in the Thiergarten is known as Zalten
No. 4. Thursday this pavilion was
blown up with dynamite. The extent
of the damage is very great, though no
loss Of life is as yet reported. The ex-
plosion caused panic in the neighbor-
hood and for time it was supposed that
many had been killed. This was, hap
PLY, not confirmed,
Many rmnors are afoat as to the
cause of the outrage. One is that the
walters have not been properly treated
and that one OF more Of them took this
method Of showing their discomfort and
warning their employers Another
rumor is that the perpetrator of the act
was an anarchist who had been request
ed to leave the place because his inn
prudent utterances attracted too much
attention from the police The police
are actively investigating and are said
to be almost ready to make an arrest.

A HELPING HAND
viii Generous America Extend
to Starving Russians.
Great Quantities of Breadstuffs
Contributed.

Our Railroads WIN Transport 1t Free to
the seaboard, and the United States
Government win Undoubtedly Furnish
the Vessel to Bear the Offerings of
Peace and Good WIN.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-There has
been always a most friendly feeling be-
tween the Russian and the United
States governments. In the time of the
United States darkest hour of peril,
when other European nations were
ready and anxious to recognize the
southern Confederacy, the attitude Of
Russia prevented that recognition.
This was an act inestimably beneficial
to the United States, and has always
been gratefully remembered. Now that
Russia is in need, and that her peasants
are starving, the United States has an
opportunity to come to her assistance,
and another link may be made in the
chain binding Russia and the United
States together in kindly feelings and
relations.
The Minneapolis millers have contrib
Qted great stores of -four for these poor
Russians. Already our railroads have
agreed to transport this breadstuff to the
seaboard free of charge fer freightage,
and it remains for the United States to
furnish an American vessel to bear
these offerings Of peace and good viii
Senator Washburn, of Minnesota, con-
Ceived this idea, aud accordingly he
called on Secretary Tracy Thursday to
find out what he thought Of the sugges-
tion and what could be done in the mat
Ter. Secretary Tracy was plaGsd with
the proposal, and said the furnishing Of
a United States vessel for such o pur-
pose would be at once happy and grace
full and an act Of humanity But in or
der that the official forms might be OBJ
served, Secretary Tracy requested Sena-
tor Washburn to write him officially on
the subject.
The senator has done so in letter, in
which he refers to the pressing need of
the poor Russians, of the traditional
friendly relations between the two na-
tions, and of the great good that will
arise from the receipt of Americas gem
erous contribution from her granalies
that are now oyerfowing.
There is a question whether or not the
secretary of the navy has the right 10
send ship to Russia without the con-
sent of congres, for there is no appropi-
alton apparently available But there
is no doubt about the favorable action
of congress in the matter, III congress
sional action be necessary, it ii Senator
Washburn's purpose to Introduces Alt
resolution calling for the appropriaj.p )f
sufficient money to defray the expenses
of fitting out a United States vessel,
The senator was IN Russia during Tho
autumn months and says that he him
self observed the awful condition ii
pressing need of the Russian paar 3,
the government having TO import % II
rye and wheat, and he says he thin g
there is no doubt that congress viii ia-
mediately make an appropriation to IIy
the expense of the expedition TO Rul 3.
for he says that it is unlikely that any
one will object to such proceeding,
which will strike a popular chord.

LANSING Mich, Dec. s6.-The end of
the scandal ia which ex-Seeretary of
State Soper was involved has practically
been reached, Notwithstanding that the
investigating commission has not finish
ed its labors and will not report until

that he would not contest Secretary

publication of troubles that have for
several months been brewing in Grand

THE czAR DECEIVED.
He Does Not Know tho Actual Facts Of
the Famine.


ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 28-It appears
that the czar has been grossly deceived
as to the actual facts Of the famine.
The governors Of the provinces in which
the situation is worst were told by high
officials that they must not put the case
to the czar In as bad light as the facts
justified.
Acting on these directions the rulers
of faInihe-stricken provinces stated in
answer TO inquiries from the czar that
destitution existed only in isolated cases
and that the condition Of affairs was
sensibly improved, owing to the guam
tity Of wheat and other provisions
which had reached the famine districts
and been distributed to those In need.
The object Of this representation is said
to be the desire of high officials to cover
their own neglect In not preparing
promptly to meet the failure Of the har-
vest and scarcity Of food
