Fatal Wreck on the Northwestern.

MILWAUKEE. March Pa serious
wreck occurred on the Northwestern
road at Racine Junction last night, by
which one man was killed, two danger
ously hurt and three others more or
less injured. A mail car, baggage car
aud five freight cars were destroyed by
fire. The pecuuiary loss is estimated
at $50, 900,
The collision occurred at midnight
between a north bound Northwestern
passenger train and south bound
freight train on the same line. The
latter train consisted of siXty-four cars,
and was under such Roadway that 1t
could not be checked sufficiently TO al
low side tracking. Both trains came
together on the main track at the depot
with the above result.
In the safe of the American Express
company was $4,000 in currency for
northern banks from Chicago. So in
tensely hot did the fire become that
when the safe was opened at noon to-
day half the currency was found burnt
to ashes and the other half partially
burned. The express company will
lose about S. 900 of the money. Enough
will be saved of the other half to insure
its redemption. Several thousand dol
lars of jewelry was melted and ran into
one lump. The United States Express
company also lost large amount Of
money. Not pound of express or mail
was saved.

WASHINGTON. March 25.-Superin-
tendent Porter of the census bureau
has in preparation an important bulle-
tin giving the population of the south
| Atlantic and south central states, Mis-
souri,, and Kansas by races. The total
population embraced in this count is
given as 2o.373, 259, of which Is, S6S. 205
were white, 6,296, 1866 colored and 10,SSS
Chinese, japanese and Indians. In the
states included were found. in 1890. fif-
teen-siXteenths of the entire cOlOred
population of the United States so that
for the purpose of Immediately ascer-
tanning percentage of increase of cOlOred
population the returns of these states
are adequate and not likely to be ma
terially effected by the returns of 9TH
er states and territories where the col
Ored population is small. The abnormal
increase of the cOlored population in
what is known as the black belt during
the decade ending 1880, led to the popu-
lar belief that the negroes were increas-
ing at much larger rate than the
white population.
This was an erroneous belief, and was
due to the imperfect enumeration in the
southern states in 1880. During the
past decade the colored race has not
held its own against the whites in re-
gion where the climate and conditions
are of all those which the country af-
fords, the best suited to it's develop
ments. In but three decades, that is
from 1900 to 1880, during part of which
time the slave trade was in progress,
has the cOlOred race increased more
rapidly than the white.
Since 1880 the whites have steadily
increased at more rapid rate than the
colOred people. This increase has not
been affected by the aid of immigration,
for, with the exception of Kansas and
Missouri, these states have received
comparatively few emigrants either
from foreign countries or from the
northern states. Similarly, the proper
ton of the colored inhabitants to the
white increased somewhat between 1900
and 1880. But since that time it has
steadily diminished. In 1880, when the
proportion was at it's maximum, there
were nearly six colored inhabitants to
ten white, but this proportion has been
reduced to a trifle more than four at
the present date, or by nearly third
of its amount.

Starving Ireland.

BOSTON, March 26.-Mr. William
Lloyd Garrison, who was receiving
funds for the relief of the starving peo-
pie in the west of Ireland, prints some
extracts from letter written by Miss
Sophie Sturges, who has charge of the
distribution of relief in Connemara
She says:
"You will hardly believe me when |
tell you that not one farthing of the
large fund Mr.. Balfour has collected
has come to these people. But for our
private work many must have died of
famine.
"All the government officials send
their cases to us-poOr law officers, pO-
lice magistrates, besides the priests and
doctors. The people are clamoring for
food and work, and we find that we can
not supply the increasing need. 1t is a
most deplorable state of things, because
with relief comes decentralization, and
the whole thing might have been easily
prevented had the advice of those who
understood the question been taken last

Heavy Loss of Sheep.

ST. LOUIS, March 25.-Dispatches
from New Mexico report great deal of
distress among cattle, sheep and other
live stock in the territory. Represent
alive Frank Hubbel who has just re-
turned to Albuquerque from his sheep
ranch, near the Zuni salt lakes, Socorro
county, tells distressing story about
the condition of the sheep. He has lost
in the past few months over 30, 900 head
from freezing and starving, and also re-
ports that the loss is general among all
the heavy sheep owners. The weather
has been cold,' and the ground is COW
cred with snow so that the sheep can't
eat. He says he has never experienced
such weather as the last two months.

The Last snow of the Season.

ATCHISON, KAS., March 25.-The
Central Branch division of the Missouri
Pacific is not moving wheel to-day on
account of the snow blOcade. The snow
is particularly bad on the west end
where the country is covered to the
depth of ten inches on level. The
wind is blowing furiously and the snow
in consequence is badly drifted, in some
places the drifts are many miles long
and miniature mountains in height.
Several trains have been caught be-
tween stations, among them the pay
train. and a passenger train. The COM
pany manages to provide crews and
passengers with food but with difficulty
A snow pillow was started out this af-
ternOon, but as fast as it cleared path
way snow drifted in behind it and the
ATTEMPT was abandoned, leaving the
pillow engine to die in the drift.
The snow is falling this afternoon
more furiously than at any previous
time since it began, twenty-four hours
ago. Superintendent Rathburn says it
is the greatest snow storm the road has
experienced in years.
AROUND WICHITA.
WICHITA, KS, March pa heavy
snow has been falling in central Kansas
and south of here all the morning. At
Lyons there is six inches of snow. A
Frisco passenger is stuck in drift near
Bentley and near Ellsworth a Union
Pacific train is fast. 1t is comparative
~ warm and no damage will result to
crops.
FEED SCARCE.
ABILENE KS, March PA twenty
four hour rain changed to snow this
morning, and heavy fall has continued
all day. delaying trains and making
roads almost impossible. The scarcity
of feed makes the storm very severe on
stock and much suffering will ensue un-
less sudden clearing up comes.
THE WORST FOR YEARS.
TOPEKA.-RepOrts received tonight
at the Rock Island general Offices are to-
the effect that one of the worst snow
storms ever known in northwestern and
southwestern Kansas is raging. The
railroad commissioners who went to
the northwest to distribute seed grain
have wired that they are completely
showed in, anu must temporarily aban-
don their work. e~.W
49, THE STORM IN NEBRASKA.
OMAHA, Neb., March 25.-Dispatches
from all over the state indicate that the
snow fall is the largest in area of any
storm of the winter. In the regions
visited by the drouth last summer, the
snow was especi lily heavy. HOldridge
telegraphs that the snow is from two to
four feet deep, while McCook, Broken
Bow, Chadron and other points send
similar reports.
The storm has done little if any dam
age. The train movements are but
slightly interfered with, owing to the
fact that the snow came at most points
without wind, and was too wet to drift.
1t is in the nature of blessing to por-
tioas of the state.

Fatal Bath After a Ball.

1t is bad thing to venture in a danger.
Gus surf after being out all night at ball,
where liquor flows freely and the guests
get gay. 1t proved particularly bad
thing for George Powell, a driver for Henry
Ungerland, livery stable keeper of Sleeps
head Bay, who was drowned recently in
Sheepshead bay Powell had been to a
ball at West Brighton, Coney island, given
by the track keepers of the Brighton Beach
race track. He was returning about sun
rise with four of his fellow workmen in the
stable. He insisted on bathing in the bay
at the upper end, near the Manhattan
Beach railroad track. The bay is very
shallow, but Powell went in where there
was deep hole. He had been in the wa
ter only moment when he threw up his
hands and disappeared, according to the
story Of his companions, two of whom
jumped in after him they say, but they
could not find his body for twenty min
utes. 1t is believed. however, that the
men were all in bathing together, and the
drowned mans companions did not realize
that he was drowning until it wss too late.
Powell lived on Pacific street. Brooklyn,

Almy seized Christie Warden as she was
walking with her mother, sister and a
friend, dragged her into the bushes and
shot her to death. Then the hunt began.
Andrew II. Warden is a prosperous
farmer living near Hanover, n. H., the To-
cation of Dartmouth college His family
is well known for its intelligence Three
of his daughters rank high as scholars and
teachers, the other one still being quite
young. Christie, a girl about twenty-siX,
was especially noted, and was a beautiful
specimen of the blond type. Frank C.
Almy is, or was, a mystery. He appeared
suddenly in the neighborhood and worked
for Mr.. Warden during the winter. He
was man of refinement and good educa-
ton, yet had a violent temper, and the fam
ily became convinced that Almy was not
his true name.
Early this season he was discharged
after he had in vain implored Christie to
marry him, and threatened her with death
If she refused. His threat was speedily
fulfilled. Her sister Fannie fought val
iantly for Christie, but was forced away.
The mother and the other woman ran for
help, and help came not half a minute
after Christie's death. One man was al
most on the murderer as he fired the Sec
ond shot, yet he escaped. The whole coun-
try was aroused. Every thicllet and ravine
was beaten as if for the smallest game and
every barn and old house searched; but it
appeared that the murderer had some help
in getting on his first step toward Mon
treaL.
His course was traced TO that city and
then the trail was lost 1t was surmised
that he had become "stowaway" on one
of four steamers which had started for
Europe, and dispatches We're sent to t
last landing place in Newfoundland and to
England. But the hunt went on, for many
believed that Almy was still near Hano-
yer, and, strangest of ALL information
came from other places of crimes of VIC
lence committed by such a man. He seems
TO be a natural murderer, man of unre-
strained temper.

l
rades had fought so fiercely, dashed past
the swarm of assailants on the parapet,
| and, with the flag floating defantly, ran at
the top of his speed back to the Confederate
main line, where he was received with wild
cheers. Scores of bullets had been aimed
at him as he flew across the open plain, 500
yards, within range of hundreds of Union
muskets.
There was no formal surrender. Glib
bon's men crowded in on all sides and the
COnfederates resisted to the last. The
fighting did not end when the assailants
got inside, for. despite the efforts of their
officers, some of the enraged men exacted
the victor's privilege of vengeance upon
the unfortunates who had made such a
hopeless yet bloody defense.
The dead COnfederates numbered 81; the
unwounded prisoners were only 80. The
most of the wounded prisoners were dis
abled. The artillerymen had suffered ter
rlbly, being the most exposed on the top Of
the wall. Nearly all of them had died at
their guns The men Of Chew's Maryland
battery were volunteers in the fight, their
term of service having expired some days
previously. Unlike the soldiers of the
states in rebellion, the Marylanders were
not held to Confederate service for the
whole period of the war
The loss on Gibbons column in front of
Fort Gregg is placed at 500 te 600 in killed
and wounded. AS soon as Gregg fell it's
captors turned the two cannon upon the
neighboring Fort Whitworth and the gar
rlson of that work marched out and sur
rendered. The gap in the lines along the
AppOmattoX was now filled by Grants
troops, but some hours had been consumed
in accomplishing this result, and mean
while, thanks to the delay in the Union
march caused by the holding out of Fort
Gregg, Lee had been able to man his in
terror line in such strength as to hold it
the remainder of the day. His circle of de
tense around Petersburg was still com
plete and no further impression was made
upon it by Union assaults.
The exploit at Fort Gregg, though by no
means a marvel, was all the more unique
because of the many attachments under
separate commanders that took part in the
defense. No single officer exercised su-
preme command. The Mississippian.
Lieut. Col. Duncan, held the highest rank
of any, but seems to have assumed author

holds aloof from the rest and acts indie

spoiled the whole game by running up a
white flag at the time of the first Union

fellows who fioundered In the moat or
were climbing by hook or crook up the
walls. In some cases the backs and Shout
ders of the Union men were used as seal
ing ladders by their agile comrades.
At II o'clock the struggle was at its
height and was carried on at arms length,
but so far on the exterior crests of the
walls only. About that time some of Glib
bon's men made a discovery that showed
the one weak spot in the forlorn citadel. 1t
seems that when the line at that point was
originally built, Forts Gregg and Whit
worth were intended to be connected by
trench and breastwork sheltered by pal
isade The work had been begun at the
Gregg end and about thirty feet of trench
had been made, the dirt thrown out form
ing an embankment as high as the walls of
Fort Gregg and connecting with them. In
attempting to surround the fort the assail-
ants mounted this strip of embankment
and very soon found it means of getting
upon the coveted parapet without first
descending into the deep moat beneath it.
Rushing upon this point they over
whelmed the handful who manned that
corner of the work. Many of the deter
mined garrison were already down, but
the survivors only redoubled their vigor
and fought with any weapons available.
At length the parapet was lined along the
top with bluecoats busily occupied in
shooting down OH the men in gray who
stood on the low platforms inside. So
desperately did the garrison defend their
ground that the parapet was covered with
Union dead. At one time six Union flags
were floating on the walls, while the Con-
federates fought around their own stars
and bars in the interior of the work.
But there had TO be an end to it. Glib
bon's men swarmed so thickly that the
Confederates couldn't turn from one to an
other of them quickly enough to do their
deadly work, and were at last overpowered.
Yet, though forced to abandon their ban
quettes at the base of the parapet, they fell
back fighting, and in scattered groups on
the open parade of the fort, struggling
against fate. At the last moment, when
the Union men in numbers were leaping
down inside from all directions and max
ing prisoners of their opponents by sheer
physical strength, one of Lanes North
Carolinians, boy named Atkinson, seized
the colors under which he and his COM
