consider votes by which appropriations

Dead and roasted and broken bodies
in all sorts of pitiable attitudes were
among the debris of the in

touched him, and from the head above
the end of the car that jammed him
against the locomotive came moan and
the words: "For Gods sake leave me
alone and let me die" The strong
men were forced to turn away mo-
mentarily in horror. 1t took twenty
minutes to extricate the poor fellow
and carry him to the surface.
He was still alive in the prog
ress of the men who carried him up
to the light, but before he could be ex-
amined he was dead. AS the men
worked further forward toward the
middle of the car, aided by policemen
and train hands, every now and then
sudden "hold on, easy" announced
that the hook or ak had struck another
corpse. Every fresh body brought out

DEsOLATION AND RUIN

WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 20.-The
scene in the flooded district Is one of
desoation and ruin, but the inhabitants
have gone to work bravely to repair the
damage and are as cheerful as possible
under the circumstances. There is much
suffering among the poorer classes, but
there will be no appeal for outside
aid. Tue city is abundantly able to
care for every want. At Parkersburg
and points between Wheeling and that
place, the situation is very discouragiDg
at 7 O'Clock tonight. the water at Park
ersburg being a feet 8 inches and still
rising. The steady rise all last mig ht
and to-day is astounding to the oldest
inhabitants. 1t has now exceeded the
highest limit predicted by the
most reckless, and the destruc-
ton will be large. 1t Is de-
scribed as 'awful," and the tawny
waters continue to creep up. The dam
age cannot now be estimated, but it is
enormous, and the suffering is great.
The deluge has paralyzed business, and
the city of ParkerSburg is cut off from
the outside world. fhe suburban town
of Riverside is still covered and the in
habitants camping on the hills until the
water subsidies. A definite account of
the flood cannot be given.

Specials TO the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 2o.-The death
knell of prohibition in South Dakota
was sounded in the Legislature to-day.
Debate in the house on the resubmis-
sion bill to vote to annul the constitu-
tional prohibition amendment lasted
until midnight in committee of the
whole, resulting in the measure carry
Ing. To-day the matter was clinched
BY adopting the committees report by
q vote of 66 yeas, AZ nays, II absent.
The roll call showed 26 Republicans, %
Independents and II Democrats for,
while % Republicans, "a Independents
and no Democrats voted against it.
This vote developed the fact that the
measure was not a party issue and
would pass the senate by a proportion
ate vote, and become law to be set
tied at the polls at the next general
election. A great many wild charges OF
fraud have been made on each side,
but not Substantiated. PrOhibltloniStS
claim the Democrats and Independents
effected a trade by which the Demo
Gratis gave the Independents Kyle's
election in return for their assistance in
passing resubmisSion, and allege an un-
limited amount of Doodle has been used
in buying votes for reSubmiSsion, while
1t is charged against the PrOhibitionists
that they offered to support the bill TO
submit the reelection Of tile capital in
return for necessary assistance.
Both houses rushed business to-day,
the following measures becoming laws:
Joint memorial to congress praying
for the opening Of the Sisseton Indian
reservation. Joint memorial to con-
gress asking that an amendment to the
United States constitution be submitted
at the next general election allowing
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people, fixing bonds of state
officers, refunding $4,000 of per cent
bonds issued to furnish Dakota uni
versity; defining what property shall
be exempt from execution, fixing pen
atty for officers negelecting their duties,
to preserve the purity of the ballot box
and punish crimes against the elective
franchise. The remaining two weeks
of the session promise heavy work and
will be fruitful of much legislation.

GERMAN TURNER'S.
A Clash Between the Two Wings
IN Chicago.


CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-A clash between
the conservative and anarchistic fac
tions among the German Turner's in
this city promises to spread to the entire
country and disrupt this powerful or
ganizaton. The Turngemeinde is the
oldest and strongest Of societies here,
and has always been heartily conServa-
tive. Recently one of its anarchistic
members indulged in structures in
speech before another society.
The Turngemeinde then expelled him.
He then appealed to the district gov
erniug body. which ordered the Turn
gemeinde to restore him to membership.
A meeting was called, and the society
defied the district body, by large ma
iority, to restore the obnoxious member.
1t is assumed that the only thing the
superior body can do is to expel the
Turngemeinde from the national body,
and as other conservative turner socie-
ties throughout the country contain the
same elements, it is supposed that they
will take up the fight, with the proba-
bility of general separation between
the conservative and radical factions.

freight collision occurred on the Atchi-

Two engines and eight cars were de-
stroyed; Engineer Adams and Brake
man Rueb were killed, and Engineer
Edmunds injured. The accident was
caused by Engineer Adams being fifteen
minutes ahead of time. He was caught
between the engine and tender, with
both legs broken, and the escaping
steam cooked the flesh on the upper
part of his body. For about three hours
he was held in the same position before
he could be released, pteously begging
for death at the hands Of the bystand-
ers. Brakeman Rueb was buried under
several loaded coal cars. His remains
have not been recovered.

and it now goes to the foot of the al
ready Oyerburdened house calendar,
with the recommendation OF the COM
mIttee that it do not pass.
Silver Hung Up.
There are, it is said, only two methods
by which it can be called up. The first
is bya special order from the committee
on rules, but this is regarded as imprac-
ticable, as the majority of the commit
tee do not favor the measure. The
other is by motion to substitute the
silver bill for some other bill before the
house. There is, it is thought, no doubt
that the speaker would rule such mo-
tion out of order, and a majority vote OF
the house will be necessary to overrule
that decision, if the speaker should
entertain the appeal. The silver men
have heretofore been defeated on
motion to overrule a decision of the
chair against the silver bill and do not
expect better fate the next time they
make similar motion. There was
some hope entertained that the coinage
committee would report compromise
bill on which most of the Republicans
could unite, but now that the unlimited
free coinage measure will be reported
with an adverse recommendation 1t IS
almost conceded that nothing can be
done until next congress. The anti
silver men are very well pleased with
the situation and Representative
Walker, of Massachusetts,, predicted
this afternoon that the bill would never
see the light again this congress.
