They Packed His Skull.

DENVER, March B. Conductor Doug
las, whose skull was so badly fractured in
the Union Pacific wreck at Brighton two
weeks ago, is now out of danger, and will
make a perfect recovery. He has been
under the care of DIR. A. j. Pfeifer.
chief surgeon of the Union Pacific system,
at the company hospital in this city.
The morning of the wreck DR.. Pfelffer
brought the injured employees to the
Union Pacific hospital and operated on
them.
The examination of Conductor Doug
las revealed the fact that the scalp had
been torn from the right side of the head,
that the skull had been fractured and the
fragments had been driven in upon the
brain. The fragments of hone were re
moved ard the profuse bleeding from
large arteries which followed was stopped
by putting gGuze and sponges between the
inside of the skull and brain.
A light dressing was applied. The
sponges were removed on the following
day and the gauze on the tenth day. The
patient has made an uninterrupted recov-
cry, the only bad symptoms having been
a moderate degree OF fever and a slight
headache during the first few days.

LONDON. March 5.-A long statement
has been issued and is now being circu-
lated among the electorate OF the forest
Of Dean. division of Worcestershire, on
behalf of Sir Charles Dixie. On Feb.
% it was announced hat the electors of
the division had asked Sir Charles Dixie
to be their candidate for parliament at the
coming general election. He assented,
provided that he had fair assurance from
the majority of tho Liberal electors that
his candidacy would receIve their supper
Now it is learned that Sir Charles has
supplied the Liberal organization with a
statement for private circulation viudieat-
ing himself against the charges made
against him in connection with the fam
u Crawford Dixie divorce case. Accord
ing 10 this statement, Capt. Forster ought
to have been the correspondent and not

full account OF herself, and a sworn de

condemned him, but that 1t will fail to

An idea from Paris that one or two
New York hostess-s here recently intro
duced is that of serving a dinner ut
small tables in lieu Of one long one. 1t
Is perhaps rather a relief from the mo
notony Of n long table. which in the
case of II large dinner ought never to
be, but it is doubtful if after the nov
city has worn off it will be liked The
seats Of honor will always be mt the
hostess table, and hcartburning~ and
~iralnusies are sure to arise among those
who find their places at the less favored
ones As only persons with large din
ing ooIns now undertake large dinners.

to be broken by different arrangements

NEW York, March Ten. VIM. T.
Sherman left no will. In all his business
relations the general was noted for his cx.
act methods. and it was generally sup.
posed that he had many years ago made
his will. If be did. however, no trace OF
it can be found. His Sons made a
thorough search of his papers, which were
all carefully arranged, but there was moth
ing among them that indicated any dispo-
sition OF his property. So. therefore,
they made application to the %surrogate's
court yesterday through Counsellor Henry
Il. Hoyt, of DAILY & Hoyt. No. A Wall
street. for the appointment OF the Rev.
Thomas f. Sherman and p. T. Sherman,
sons of the deceased. as administrator on
the personal property. This will prOba-
bly, be granted IN a day or two.
Gen, sherman was not wealthy. He
owned the four-story brown stone resi-
dence in which he died in West Seventy
first street, near Ninth avenue, and proba-
bly, some other property in this city or the
suburbs of small value. lie also owned
some real estate in St Louis. the value of
which is not known, but it is not believed
to be large. He lived modestly and slnce
his retirement from active command OF
the army he was in receipt of the pay Of a
retired general, Sl3,50O per annum.
This, OF course. ceased with his death,
and there has been no indication that his
children will ask congress to pass a special
act awarding a pension to aid in their sup
port.
The most valuable possessions left by
Gen. Sherman are supposed to be his war
memoirs, which will soon be published as
the Life of Gen. Sherman. and which
will, it is believed, yield a large sum 1t
will, of course. cover the entire history Of
the late civil war and will contain personal
correspondence written during the cam
paigns never before made public. Shortly
before his death Gen. Sherman placed
his memoirs in the hands of Charles
l. Webster Il Co. the publishers,
Of this city. A cheap edition of the
memoirs Is now in press, containing an
appendix written by Secretary James G.
Blaine. This popular edition will contain
about 900 pages and will be handsomely
illustrated with steel plates Of Gen. Sher-
man and other officers. and war maps
showing the plan of the campaigns di-
rected by Gen. Sherman. This edition
will be sold at 81 a cory.

Yesterday as petit juror IN part two of the

CHICAGO, March THE January
statement OF the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road shows a decrease in gross
earnings Of $751; $40 as compared with
the same time last year. The net earn
ings, alter allowing for all expenses except
dividends, show a deficit of $l77.2 81
against a profit Of Sls2, 252 in 1890, or a
decrease of 1855, 5O4. One considerable
cause of the large falling of is the failure
OF the corn crop of last year. The gross
earnings from the transportation of corn
from points west of the Missouri river in
January, 1890, were $500, 900 as compared
with the same this year. II appears that
the falling off was chiefly, If not entirely,
Dn the lines west OF the Missouri river.
In fact. statistics compiled by Chairman
Midgley OF the Western Freight Assjcia-
ton show that the BURLINGTON lines be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City made a
much bttt r comparative showing than
any other line between those points. It's
Cbicago-Omaba lines also show a larger
percentage OF increase than any OF the
others. The opinion seems unanimous
with the traffic officials of the e stern
roads that the uniavorable conditions will
change in April.

convent there. While five of the

seen in the doorway, who, on being asked
what he wanted. returned no answer, aud
ran away. On going out into the passage

with knives.

at such a disadvantage tina they had
little chance. The thieves took the
procurator's keys from HIM and com
PEELED him to 90 with them to his cell,
where they obtained possession of a bag
containing 5000. Meanwhiletwo of the
padres had succeeded 10 escaping t. their
cells, from tie windows of which they
called for assistance, and in the course of
time the police appeared on the scene.
Most of the robbers succeeded in getting
away, but four of them were caught in
the grounds and a number OF other men
were arrested later on suspicion.
Father Jiminez, the procurator, was
fatally wounded. The porter OF the con
vent was also dangerously wounded. and
the last sacrament was administers to
him. Father Eusbio Gomez Platero and
Brother Andres Del Val, as well as the
infant son OF the porter, were also
wounded. When the police arrived the

fusion. with blood and other traces IF the
conflict, scattered in all directions. A
number of doctors were speedily sum
moned to attend the wounded. The affair

EMMA ABBOTT'SASHES.
Remains of the Famous Singer
Cremated at Pittsburg.
A Fruitless Search Made for
Gen. ShermaD's Will.
millionaire Gould Fined for
Contempt Of Court

PITTsBURG, Pa, March st became
known today that the remains of Emma
Abbott, the famous opera singer, were
cremated W weeks ago yesterday. 1t
was on account of Miss AbbOtt's aged
mother that the cremation was secret.
She is past 70 years of age aud quite fee
bic, aud strongly protested against the
burning Of her beloved daughters re
mains. The executors feared that If she
was notified of the cremation she might
insist on being present, and might not be
able to recover from the shock.
1t was decided about three weeks ago
to bring the body here aud have it secretly
cremated. I've weeks ago last Saturday
the executors, Messrs. IIoughtou and
Dunning Of New York and Mai. james
l.. Mitchell Of indianapolis met in Chi
cagO, Sunday evening the casket was re
moved from the vault and was placed IN a
PLAIN wooden box tor the trip to Pittsburg.
Mrs. Clark, the deceased's sister, who
lives at the Continental hotel, Chicago.
was the only relative who was present
when the body was removed for shipment.
A ticket was purchased for the body, and
even the traInmen had no intimation as
to whose remains were In the box. The
three executors accompanied the body.
The cremation took place in Samson's
crematory. The arrangements had all
been carefully made, aud when the train
arrived Mr.. Samson himself met il and
conveyed the remains to his crematory,
situated in the basement OF his undertak-
ing establishment. Mr.. Samson's son,
vino is bis partner in business. did not
even now whose the corpse was. The
cremation occurred late Monday evening.
The body was lifted from the casket
and placed uDon au iron litter. The
singer still wore the same dress that the
corpse appeared 10 when so many friends
viewed it in Chicago on the day Of the
f%uneral, aud the wilted flowers still rested
on the BODY. Tue features of the lead
woman were still As natural as they we're
the day she died. In accordance with the
request Of the will, the electrictl test was
applied to the body. ana it was then
gently rolled into the furnace, Only the
executors and Mr.. Sampson and his son
stood before the glass doors of the fur
mace and saw the flesh and bones OF that
once sweet singer turn into ashes.
10 two hours the work was done. The
ashes, enough to Gil q half gallon cur.
were tenderly gathered aud placed IN a
silver urn, which was sealed aud handed
over to Executors Houghton and Dun
ming. The paramount proyiso Of the sing
er's will had been carried out and a wish
that she had many times expressed to her
intimate friends had been gratiied.
Messrs. Houghton and Dunning carried
the sacred urn with them to New York
and placed It beside the bonds and other
yaluables of Miss Abbott locked IN a
safety vault.
In that vault the ashes will rest until
the Abbott u at Gloucester is
completed. which will be sometime this
summer. Then the silver urn will be
carried to the Gloucester cemetery and
buried beside Miss Abbott husband at
the foot OF the monument.
