daughter OF the deceased, suffered so
greatly from nervous prostration that
she was unable to accompany the

much anxiety on account of her con-
dition. The rain and hail fell inces-

pleasant. Mrs. Hannah Reese, who

BuENos AyREs, Feb. Additional
adyices received here from Chill state
that the bombardment of Iquique by
the insurgents was productive Of great
loss OF life and heavy damage to prop
dfty.
When the rebels entered the city they
attacked the stores and residences on
aix OF the principal squares and COM
Illetely' wrecked them. The buildings
afforded shelter TO a large number of
women aud children, but the insur-
gents, needless OF the rules governing
civilized warfare, gave them 10 chance
tp escape, and pursued their work OF
destruction regardless of the frantic
ehdeayors of the helpless occupants
tb seek place OF safety. 1t Is known
that 200 women and children persisted
~ the ruins of the sacked buildings.
The insurgents seized tho custom
hpuse and then piIlaged all the princi-
pill houses In the city.

Miss Nellie King of NeY York.
Miss Clarke claimed to have loaned
her lover various sums of money, aud
said that the money raised by means
OF tho forged notes Was also secured

The jury disagreed, and this fact was
looked upon as u virtual victory for
the girl. Such 1t proved to be to-day.
Nobody would testify against her, not
even those who had been injured by
her acts. To-day tho case against her
was mol pressed"

stNo WIEN APPareut Dihsattbthctious
PrrTsBuna, Pa, Feb. 28.-The Penn
sylvania Company's employees to-day
received an answer from the railroad
officials.
The reply adjusts local grievances
cited by the men; and presented to the
company early in January, and is the
result of a conference OF the past
three days between General Manager
Wood, General Superintendent Watts,
OF the Northwestern System; General
Superintendent Miller, of the Ohio
Southwestern system, and all division
superlntendents. Shortly after IL
o'clock to-day a committee of seven
men, representing the General Grlev-
ance Committee, composed of all the
different branches of the train service,
were received in General Manager
woods office, where several officials
were still in conference.
The committee, after a brief wait,
was handed copies of the equalization
OF operative practice, whose interest is
to make uniform train service on all
divisions 30 far as such is consistent.
The document states, In brief, that
hereafter fines will be discontinued,
and damages to the company's prop
eIty, ETC., will be followed by suspen-
sion or discharge. Callers will be pro-
vided for the men. Men are called for
duty and their trains are annuiled.
Two hours will be allowed at over
time rates. II called and notified of
the annullment of train before reach
ing yard or engine house no time will
be allowed.
In making light and dead head trips
men Will be paid as follows:
Light engine and caboose-Full
through freight time.
Light engines or caboose attached to
a freight train--Full through freight
time, and the dead-head crew will be
expected to assist in the work.
Dead.yarding on passenger trains
One-half their regular trip rates.
As far as practicable trial enginemen
VIII prepare engines for road service;
when IL Is necessary for roadmen to
try engine, they will be paid overtime
rates for the actual time employed.
As n general practice, it Is not Deem
ed advisable to transfer yard engine
men to road service; where such trans
fers are made, the yard enginemen
will first be required to run on the
road six months as flremen.
These, with few other slight
concessions, were read at full meet
ing of the railroad Grievance Com
mittee and received with apparent
dissatisfaction, though all debate was
postponed.
Nearly all the division superintend-
ents have departed for their
respective homes. The general officers
OF the company do not attempt to
anticipate the action OF the men.
General Superintendent Watts Is still
Of the opinion that his employees ere
too sensible, to tie up tho road. He
says, however, that thelg is no telling
what will happen 1t Is understood,
however, that In case of hostilities tho
compqny's policy Is already outlined.

The celebrated RENTS -Santley Bur-

doubt draw n largo audience. This
company Is much larger and better
than ever before, and comprises Some
of the best variety artists on the stage.
II Is well-known in this city, where il
always receives warm welcome.
Tomorrow evening the great and
incomprehensible Hermann, whose
wonderful feats have mystified the
world, will appear at tho Opera House.
The principal part OF Herrmann's en-
tertainment consists OF rare and all
startling phenomena to which his own
original and collective brain has given
existence. His work seemingly sets at
naught all natural laws. Ii is replete
with mysticism and those occult deeds
ordinarily ascribed to the redoubtable
Prince OF Darkness. Yet everything is
simply done. and Hermann frankly
disclaims any supernatural agencies.
The remainder OF the combination is
composed of lot of unexceptionally
clever people.
