that time had strengthened by their close
association ever since. The president

structlons for full milit lry honors for the
dead soldier and made several suRgss-
lions IN regard to the character of the

DEADwooD. S D.. Feb. l4.-At half
past 10 last night, as train No. "a on the
Deadwood Central reached the mouth of
Gold Run on its trip from Lead to Dead
wood, the engineer lost control OF his en-
CINE, which, owing to the steep grade of S
per cent, and the frost on the tracks, be-
gan sliding and slipping until it acquired
a speed OF six V miles an hour. Derail-
mr, was ia y table, and the engineer,
fireman, rr.,Iuctor and one passenger
jumped of. A moment later the train
struck an open switch. throwing the cars
off the track. The tender and passenger
coach were turned over and completely
wrecked. Sam Wells, a clerk in the Mer-
chants National bank, who was returning
from Lead, had all the flesh torn off the
bones of his lett arm from the elbow to
the wrist. Robert Rober, the fireman,
received a bad wound in the head. Five
passengers who remained in the car
escIped with slight scratches. The en-
CINE in use was one received only three
weeks ago. Not a trip has been made
with it that an accident did not occur.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE baseball board
of control this afternoon rendered a
number of decisions in disputes between
clubs as to players, and other matters.
The board also adopted a classification for
the League and AS; ociation, based on the
salaries paid, number CT clubs and the
population of their cities. 1t is proposed
that a city in any class may hire any player
from a lower class association by paying
an indemnity to the club he is drawn
from. President Thurman is to hold his
Office only for one year and will be followed
by Rogers and K%rauthoff, each one term.
The decision in the case of Bierba1er
stirred up quite q row in the board of con-
troll. He was a member OF the Athletic
club of Philadelphia, and went to the
PLAYERS league. When that franchise re-
verted to the Association his name was
accidentally omitted and Pittsburg
snapped him up. The board today de-
cided IN favor of P~ittsburg. This made
Managers Barnie of Baltimore and Irwin
of Philadelphia angry. and in their heat
they expressed several uncomplimentary
opinions of the great board of control.
There was also a question as to whether
the case should not be taken to the courts.
President Thurman was enraged at the
remarks made by the Association men,
and one time threatened to resign. Spauld-
ing finally smoothed matters over and the
board adjourned.
The Western Association completed its
business tonight, aud adopted a schedule.

French Suspended From Church.

BosToN, Feb. 1.-THE elimination of
a scandal that has agitatet West Rox5ury
for weeks and has been given much publici-
ty was reached last night when the South
Evangelical church of West Roxbury for
mally suspended from fellowship H. W.
French, who has been a member for a
number of years. The charge which has
resulted IN FreDch's dismissal was sub
%stantially that French wrote a letter in
November last stating hat a Miss Helen
f. Smith of the same church was his wife
and had sustained that relation SIX
months, when she was forced - leave
him through the luminosity of her parents.
The church committee find that such a
statement as French made. if true, i'm
piled conduct on his part both illegal and
scandalous. and if not true was adopted
and seemed to be intended to ruin the
lady's reputation and good name.

CHICAGO, Feb. l4.-An innocent
looking jack OF hearts, drawn from a
greasy pack of cards, separated a hus-
band from his wife and led to a bitter
family war. The disrupted ones are
Heinrich Heening, Il years old, and his
wife, who is g. and a fortune-teller.
They were married four Years ago. each
having married children. A month after
the marriage, Heinrich says, his wife de-
handed that he turn over his property TO
her, aud when he refused she ran away.
Eight months later she returned, penitent,
and asked to be taken back. He was for
giving. and the elderly pair lived together
at No. 459 North Lincoln street.
A few weeks ago Mrs. HenniDg took
out her greasy cards to tell the past,
present, and future OF her husband. She
found him, according to the cards, TO be
the worst wretch alive, and when the Jack
of hearts turned up she exclaimed to her
s~eptuagenarY husband;
You have been flirting with married
womenl You arc a vile scoundreli'
She left the house and did not return
until Tuesday, when she came home with
d SUD-, gIanu-SOu, laWi anu
several friends. She ~broughta washtuo
and clothes basket along and then packed
all the crockery in the house. took her
clothing, and some other adjuucts to home
life, and after piliDg all on an express
wagon disappeared with her relatives and
friends.
The aged Mr.. Henning is indignant
over her conduct. He says she had a
good home. plenty of clothes and plenty
to eat, while he worked hard in lumber
yards. He has advertised his wife's CON
duct and has warned everybody to loan
her nothing on his name. Mr.. HenninR
used to have some faith in his wIfe's
fortune-teliinR. especially as she made
some money out of it, but since the cards
branded him as a ''masher" his belief in
the pasteboards and in his wife,
prophetic visIon has been much shaken.

NEW YORK, Feb. I4-In this city the
feeling was one Of profound sorrow. In

to his country and his personal attributes.
The expressions of public men were, with
out exception, filled with sorrUw and re-
eret for his taking of Ex-senator
Herman said, and he voiced the opinion
of all: With the passing away of Gen.
Sherman we rave lost the very last great
figure of the civil war. There is no man
left about whose personality is grouped
any OF the great historical memories or
idealism OF the struggle for the union.
He was q man whose military and civil
lite were untarnished by the shadow OF
doubt or suspicion, and his death will be
regretted as severely as that Of any man
10 the world" Everyone was eager to
add his eulogy to others upon the char
acter OF this great man, with q heart as
simple as a child's. AS a marx of poet,
