diving and her sickness was of such a
sudden and mysterious nature that the
public prosecutor was called to take her
ante mortem statement. The girl is en-
ployed as domestic in the family of
Richard Crawford. She told the prose-
cutor she had been betrayed by her
lover, Thomas Timothy, a farm hand,
and that on sunday last he took her to
the woods and compelled her to take
dark liquid. She said she believed that
it was poison. Tuesday the girl gave
birth to child, but it lived only few
hours. An investigation shows that her
lover gave her Paris green. Timothy

Suit to Recover Bank Stock.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. IA bill in
equity filed in the common pleas court
brings to the attention of the public the
way in which the firm Of Schall & Dan
ner, bankrupt bankers of York, did
business. The bill was filed by Mrs.
Mary E. Souder, sister of Michael Schall,
the senior member of the firm, to re-
cover 22S shares OF the capital stock Of
the York, Pa, National bank. Her
story is that she loaned the stock to her
brother in 1886 for sixty days, and that
the firm hypothecated it with the Col
umbia National bank to secure loan.
She frequently demanded the stock, but
never got it back. She claims that her
transfer of the stock to her brother was
illegal, she being a married woman, and
that she did not owe her brother or the
firm anything at the time.

A BROKEN RAIL
II Causes Three Deaths and Injuries to
Twenty-one Passengers.


LIMA, o., Dec. 1.-THE dining car on
passenger train No. 25 (the Columbian
express), of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago railroad, left the track at
this place, and the two following sleep
ers went with it. The dining car was
wrecked and the two sleeping cars badly
damaged by being thrown against the
engine of west bound freight train,
second No. 72, which was waiting on the
siding.
Philip Mutt, fireman of second No. 70,
was standing on the ground near his en-
gine, and was caught by the dining car,
which crushed his left leg and otherwise
injured him. He died few hours later.
II. j. Manuel, cook in the dining car,
scalded, died before he could be extri-
Gated from the wreck. J. Fl. Curtis,
cook in the dining car, scalded, died
shortly after.
Injured-Mrs. Fl. N. Brown, New
York, back badly hurt, and her child
also received slight injuries. Mrs. A.
Smith, Jersey City, badly bruised about
hip and shoulders. Mrs. Smith was ac-
companied by two young. sons, one of
whom is injured internally and is not
expected to live. All three were taken
to hospital in Fort Wayne. Sixteen
other passengers received injuries more
or less serious. Those most seriously in
jured were taken to Fort Wayne for
treatment.
There is no doubt whatever that the
wreck was caused by n broken rail. 1t
occurred on straight stone ballasted
track in good condition. The locomo-
tive, combination car and two coaches
did not leave the track.

Nazaire, France, has been wrecked on
the Porsal Rocks, off Brest, and of the
crew of 10, Kelk, the mate is the only
survivor. The most meager particulars
have only been received. From this
information it appears that the steamer
struck on the rocks without warning,
and went down almost instantly. Those
of the crew who were able to dash for
life were quickly swallowed up by the
waves which were very high. Kelk
was rescued in an almost exhausted con-

Acclamation"-Emm Blaine In
dorses Manicy's Assertion-General
Ciarkson Misrepresented.
WASHINGTON, Dec. II. - James G..
Blaine is a candidatef or the presidential
nomination next year. In spite of all
statements to the contrary the evidence
that he is in the fight continues to ac-
cumulate. On what appears to be ire
proachable authority it is positively
stated that Mr.. Blaine, while not seek
ing the nomination, has said to his
friends within the last forty-eight hours
that he will not discourage any efforts
they may make to nominate him.
Joe Manley, who is perhaps closer to
Mr.. Blame than any man in the country,
has been in the city for the last three
days. He leftlast night for Boston. AT
the depot, just as he was about to depart,
he was waited on by a number of district
Republicans, who are friends of Mr..
Blaine, and who wanted to know
definitely whether the secretary of state
would be candidate.
lHt oitt man Is III
Mr.. Manley had only been away from
MIR. Blaine's presence few moments,
and he said this: II occupy very deli
cate position, and"
"But, Mr.. Manley,' interposed one Of
the district Republicans, 1--WE will hold
our primaries next month and we want
to know whether or not to elect Blaine
delegates"
The train was moving off. Mr.. Man
ley jumped on the train platform. waved
his hand and shouted: "Go ahead, boys.
Send two Blaine delegates to the ma
tional convention. The old man is in
1t and in it to stay, and he will be nomi-
mated by acclamation. l have just left
his house."
Endorsed by Young Blaine.
While in Washington Mr.. Manley
said emphatically that General Clarkson,
who was charged with having said that
Mr.. Blaine was not in the field and that
President Harrison would be renomi-
mated, had been misrepresented.
Enmons Blaine, who is also here,
when asked if his father would stand for
nomination, said:
"My father occupies the same position
today he did in 1873. He is party man.
He is In the hands of his party just as he
was fifteen years ago, when he was de-
frauded of his nomination by trick,
and, If / may use the abused word, he
has 'consecrated himself to that party,
and will be just as ready to lead the
battle now as he was then"
