Petty Officer in the British Army Treated to n
Dose of Wild West Justice.
LONDON, Nov. 27.-There was much ex-
element at the Horse Guards to-day upon
the receipt of intelligence from Aldershot,
where Is situated a great military camp
and barracks, that a spirit of murdercus
INSTRUMENTATION was prevalent In one of
the regiments stationed at that place. 1t
appears that q corporal of the second
battalion of the Prince of Wales Leinster
regiment, royal Canadians. which battalion
is at present doing duty at Aldershot. bad
by his petty tyranny rendered himself an
object of peculiar aversion to the men.
For a long time the soldiers have made
many bitter threats among themselves
against him, taking care. however. that
their discomfort did not reach the ears of
the higher officers. Complaints were made
in the usual military form against the
obnoxious corporal. but they seemed
to have no effect. except to render
him more overbearing and ~tyrannical.
Finally the men became convinced that
they would find no relief by complaining
and determined to rid themselves of the
corporal. A number of them thought the
best and quickest manner Of putting the
WI pOAhl way WVulu 10 W hdDk hlIu, anu
this was finally decided upon. As the cor
poral was going his rounds he was seized
by the men. He attempted to call for as
sistance, but his cries were speedily silenced
by a gag. He was then lnformed.of the fate
in store for him. and, despite mis- struggles.
be. was dragged without ceremony TO a con-
venIent spot. Here q moose was thrown
around his neck and willing hands soon
had him suspended in the air. The free
end of the rope was made fast. and the self
appointed eXecutioners decamped. Forum
ately for the corporal. he had been hanging
only a short time when a sergeant dis
covered him. The latter Immediately cut
the rope and hastily notified the surgeon of
the regiment. who hurried to the place.
The corporal was nearly dead. and it re-
Qulred the most strenuous efforts on the
part of the surgeon, assisted by others,
to resuscitate him. Finally he was brought
around. but it is believed that it will be
some time before he again takes up his
military duties. In any event. it is the
opinion of the privates that he has been
taught a lesson that will have a lasting
effect upon him. Who the perpetrators
of the deed were has not yet been DIS
covered. The military authorities are
making a searching investigation into the
affair. and it will go hard with the culprits
when they are discovered.

Many Passengers Drowned by the Fall of q
Train Into a Frozen Russian River.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 2z.-An accident
attended by many deaths is reported as
having occurred ON the railway between
Orel and G~riazowetz, in northern Russia.
1t appears that owing to the breaking of a
tire a train became derailed at the brid &c
which crosses the river Optoukha. The
engine. followed by the carriages, plunged
along. tearing up the tracks and breaking
through the parapet of the bridge. Five
carriages in all fell from the bridge to the
ice-covered river. and, breaking through
the ice. were submerge, with their passen-
gers, in the chilling waters beneath. Ow-

In a desoiate section of the country. where
the population is scarce, there are but
meager reports. except such as were given
by those who escaped injury. From one of
the lost carriages only enc pereson was
rescued. Up TO the present twenty-six
corpses have been recovered, and many
more are supposed to be under the debris.
A number of persons were injured.

SENATOR BRICE'S SEAT.
Views of Senators Sherman and Hear on the
Method of Initiating o Contest.
Special 10 the Indianapolis journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
CLEVELAND. o., Nov. 27.-It was learned
here to-day. through copies Of letters re-
ceived from Judge King. of Youngstown,
chairman of the Republican State central
committee, that Senator Sherman, while
not opposed to q contest of the seat of Sem
ator-elect Brice. does not deem it right for
him to object to that Senator taking his
seat. inasmuch as he would be called upon
to act judicially If q contest should arise.
His plan is for the Republican
State committee to present a me-
mortal to the Senate, and for the
Legislature of Ohio to assume a vacancy
elect q Senator and then let that gentle
man conduct the contest. Senate Sher-
mans views are conceded in by Senator
Hoar. who has written q long letter TO the
Ohio Senator, In which he declares 1t his
opinion that senatorial precedent and the
usages of Congress demand that the gentle
man holding the certificate of election be
entitled to take his scat until such time rs
an investigation shall prove that he Is not
entitled to ii. As u meeting of the State
Republican committee has been called it is
fair to presume that Senator Sherman's
suggestions will be followed. 1t seems
probable that the seat of Senator.elect
Brice will be contested.
Considered by the state Central Committee.
COLUMBUS. o., Nov. 27.-The Republican
State central committee met. tonight, at
the call of the chairman. Judge King. to
consider what action, if any should be
taken to test the eligibility of Calvin S.
Brice to o seat in the United States Senate on
the ground that he is not an inhabitant of
Ohio. The committee was we'll represented
and many Republicans present. The chair
man explained he had issued tho call at
the instance of n large number of Repub-
iicans. who had written him suggesting
some steps should be taken. A majority of
the speeches were against any action being
taken by the committee. the claim being
made by the majority that Brice had estab-
lished the point of his citizenship.
The committee was in executive session
at ii +. NJ. considering what action. if any.
should be taken. A resolution was adopt
Ell authorizing Judge Nash, of CO.
luinbus. TO make an Investigation of
the evidences bearing upon the eligibility
of Brice to the Senate. to confer with Sena-
tor Sherman relative to the the rules of the
Senate applicable in such cases. and report

LONDON. Nov. pa tragedy occurred
yesterday at the Newcastle ~assizes. A man
named Baker. who has heretofore held q
respectable position in society, was con-
victed of an unnatural crime. The prisoner

nounced he seemed utterly downcast. Mr..
Justice Lawrence. who presided. sentenced
the prisoner TO ten years Of penal servi-
tude- Tbs prisoners relatives were in the
courtroom. and they. too. manifested deep
emotion. which seemed to have an addi-
tionally depressing effect upon Baker. AS
the latter was leaving the dock. IN charge
of the wardens. he waved a farwell to his
relatives. and almost instantly fell uncOn-
SelOus into the arms of the officers. In
mediate aid was summoned, but IL was too
late. Baker died almost instantly, before
he could be carried from the courtroom.

lowed a deadly dose OF poison.
