Executive Board.

The Confederation of Labor Appoints an
Executive Board.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--The confedera-
ton of labor adjourned after appointing
a general executive board, which is COM
posed of Mr.. Ben Terrell, president of the
confederation, and the chairmen of the
delegations of the organizations repre-
sented, namely: DR.. G. w. Macune of the
Farmers Alliance; I. V. Powderly of the
K. of L.; @. A. Humphreys of Texas, of
the Colored Farmers Alliance and Ralph
Beaumont of the National Citizens Alli-
Rnce.
This board has plenary powers when
the confederation is not in session, and
is authorized to appoint such help in
each State as they may think necessary
from each of the organizations. The
State committees are to appoint other
committees in Congressional districts and
counties so as to spread the organiza-
ton and its doctrines thoroughly.
The committee will have power to re-
ceive other industrial organizations into
the federation on a basis of representa-
tion similar to that enjoyed by the or
ganizations at present in it. A resolu-
ton was passed instructing the board to
invite all labor organizations in the
country to send delegates to the confed-
Grafton of February, 1892.

knuckles within six weeks. DR.. J. A.

SMAsH-Up ON THE CENTRAL.
Six Freight Cars Smashed and an Engine
Wrecked,


PEEKsKII.L, N. Y, Jan. 26.-The ter
rifle storm caused a serious collision on
the New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad near Roa Hook. Fortunately
no one was killed or hurt.
At 8 o'clock a freight train stopped on
the south track and the red danger sig
nal was hoisted on the tower to warn the
Albany way express, which was follow
ing close behind. The heavy fall of snow
Immediately covered the block signal
and hid the red sign from view. The
freight had stopped on a curve in the cut.
without any warning the way train
crashed into the freight.
The engineer and fireman were not
aware of the danger until they were
within a few feet of the freight train.
They jumped for their lives and landed
in snow embankment beside the track
The express struck with great force,
wrecked the engine and smashed six
freight cars into kindling wood. The
passengers had a lively shaking up and
were badly frightened.
Word was sent to Croton for an extra
train to take the passengers to New
York. As the way trains and through
express trains from the North arrived at
the scene of the collision the passengers
were transferred to local trains which
were waiting to be conveyed to New
York

IrenSndous Affair.
LONDON, Jan. S6. -Parnell's reception
at Waterford yesterday was tremendous
affair. The streets and houses were dec
grated and the immense procession pa
raded the length and breadth of the city.
The address of the Bishop of Ardagh,
appealing to the people not to counte-
nance Mr.. Parnell, did not have the com.
handing tone that has heretofore char
acterized such appeals on the part of the
clergy. 1t was rather in n pleading tone,
and alluded to the alleged efforts on the
part of Mr.. Parnell to separate the people
from the priests, who, the Bishop said,
were their proper guides in all matters
affecting morality.
Mr.. Parnell's remarks were listened to
with the utmost attention, and some
times interrupted by cheers and loud
groans for his opponents, especially Tim

DISASTROUS STORM

Several Horses Shocked to Death.
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The damage
wrought by the storm of yesterday morn
ing is believed to have been the worst in
thirty years. In fact there never was
such a diminutive tornado that has
caused so much inconvenience, for never
before has one como since the telegraph
and telephone wires reached their pres
emit limit in Importance.
Everything conspired to help the
cyclone in its work of destruction. The
temperature was sufficiently high to
make the snow cling to the wires and
cables, and to pile treacherous mounds Of
melting slush on the crossbars of the
poles. Many of these latter were old and
decayed, andi when the wind rose they
were not equal to the strain, which sup
plemented the already unnatural load
they were carrying.
All Wires at a StandstiIl.
The telegraph, telephone and railway
service was at q standstill; not a mes
sage could be transferred from one police
precinct to another; not a fire alarm
could be sounded over the wires. The
most perfect fire-alarm system in the
world was paralvzed. and it was q most
fortunate circumstance that the horrors
of the situation were not augmented
by conflagration, which, under the ex-
listing condition of affairs, it would have
been almost impossible to arrest.
To guard against such a possible
calamity the police and fire departments
were compelled to return to the primi-
tive methods In vogue in country vii
lagos, and police and fire-alarm signals
were, per force, dispatched by messenger
service performed by the police and fire.

along the slush covered streets and
through the bowling of the blast. No
electric lights were in use in New York
last night.
The Work of Destruction.
Not a single street in the entire city
which has furnished room for telephone
or telegraph wires but showed the effects
of the storm. Poles and wires laid about
in all directions, and it was only because
the work of devastation took place at
night and on Sunday morning that many
fatalities did not occur. As it was there
were several accidents.
Horses Killed.
A number of accidents, attributable to
demoralized condition of the telegraph
wires, happened. Two horses were killed
one by coming in contact with q live
wire and another was struck on the head
by piece of telegraph pole. In. both in
stances the drivers narrowly escaped
death The first received a shock which
knocked him down and the other was
covered with splinters from the shattered

SENATE'S CRISIS
A Vote on the Closure Rule to
Be DEMANDED Tomorrow.
DEMOCRATS MAY WITHDRAW.
The Difficulty That COnfronts the Republi.
cans is in Maintaining Quorum.

RumOrs of a Deal TO Sidetrack the Elec-
tIOns BilI-ThS Time OF the house

Democrats Talking for Delay - The
philadelphia NIarshalshIp Fight.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-There is strong
ground for the belief that the Senate
will make history this week, and the eyes
of the country will consequently be in
tent upon its doings.
The victory of the Republicans in Sc
curing consideration of the closure rules
has made them more determined than
ever, but success has by no means
holds the key to the situation and he is
only apparently awaiting favorable OPP
portunity to use it.
Report has it that the crisis will be
reached tomorrow, when it is expected
that the advocates of the Election bill
will, by parliamentary coup d'etat, force
a vote and secure the adoption of the
closure rule. The closure rule out of
the way early action on the Elections bill
will be an easy matter.
The main difficulty that confronts the
Republicans is in maintaining a quorum
of its own members. They think that
the Democrats will endeavor to break a
quorum when it comes to question of
adopting the closure resolution by with
drawing from the chamber and an effort
will be made to keep the Republican
Senators together or near at hand.
Senators Stewart, Teller, Wolcott, and
probably Senator Jones of Nevada, will
vote against the closure resolution, but
it is thought they will not assist the
Democrats in breaking quorum. Sem
Of T. 1aYtray will, hnc aN.p1 h
self in opposition to the Elections bill,
has voted with the Republicans on ques-
tions connected with the discussion of
the closure resolution, and it is believed
that he will vote for its passage.
Taken altogether the situation in the
Senate is critical, and this week will
probably bring matters to a head.

DYING IN PRISON,


CHESTER, Pa, Jan. ga gentle man

doubtful if Henry Schmidt will ever ap-
pear before the court for trial. The con-
finement in Jail is killing him. He is
not strong at best, and worriment over
the misfortune that has come upon him
is playing sad havoc.
"His cheeks are sunken, his eyes have
a wierd appearance, and his skin is
ashen pale"
There is no one in the city who believes
that Schmidt had any completely in the
murder of EmmaPftzenmayer, and it is
only possible that he has knowledge.
The loss of his business and other
troubles incident to the imputations
cast upon him and his wife have natural
ly, therefore, broken him down.
1t was given out a few days ago that
efforts had been made to secure one of
the counsel who defended Leconey to
also defend the Schmidts, and that the
gentleman sought asked $1,000 for his
services.
One who is directly interested was
questioned as to the truth of this report
and for a time would make no reply, and
even after being pressed for an answer
evaded making positive reply.

Two Alleged Slayers and the Wife of Old
Man Reed Under Arrest.
NORTH SALEM, N. H, Jan. 26.-The
mystery of the death of Elbridge G. Reed,
the milk dealer, who was found dead in
his barn here, has been cleared up. The
alleged murderers are in Jail.
The two men arrested are Dan Murphy,
alias 'tSmasher," and Frank Woods, two
bad characters.
Woods confessed that Murphy! beat
the old man to death and that Mrs. Reed
paid the two men five dollars apiece to
carry the body to the barn. Mrs. Reed
has been arrested by the Salem officials
and taken to Portsmouth, where she is
now imprisoned.
The motive for the murder, say the
olice, lay with the wife of the murdered
man, who instigated the crime because
of an infatuation for Dan Murphy.
"Smasher" Murphy was a notorious
character at Haverhill, Mass, in 1867 and
was always suspected of having killed
Officer Burnham in a bank robbery OF
that year.

is THERE A DEAL?
A Rumor That the Elections Bill Will Be

A Rumor That the Elections Bill Will Be
Sidstracked Again.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-It is said that
a deal is now in progress between the
Democratic leaders in the Senate and
three or four Republicans, including
Hale, Plumb and Washburn, which, if
consummated, will result in side-tracking
the Elections bill. Tho arrangement is
that if enough Republicans will vote to
lay aside the bill and not let it come up
again this session, the Democrats will
agree not to obstrnct any other legisla-
tion that the Republicans may choose to
pass at the present session.
compromise of this character is not
unlikely. Both ex-President Cleveland
and Senator-elect Hill have advised this
course, and Senator German is trying to
bring it about. The interest of Cleveland
and Hill in the matter is that they de-
sire to avoid an extra session, regarding
it as bad politics to have the newly cleo
ted House organize before the usual time
in December.

i've storm struck this city about 2:30 in
the morning, accompanied by heavy
snow and rain. Before daylight fully
three feet of snow had fallen. The trees
were laden with heavy icicles which al
most bent them to the ground. Every
wire in the town was covered with snow,
which caused them to snap and fall to
the ground, breaking the large poles
and cross-beams. Fully twenty or thirty
poles were broken and lay crosswise in
the street. At 10 O'Clock a. m. Main
street, the principal street in the city,
was in a state of chaos. Not horsecar
nor a wagon could be seen travelling on
