The Cause of Frightful Crossing Dis
aster In Chicago.

The Cause of q Frightful Crossing Dis
aster in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29-Four people were
killed and twice that number injured
this morning by the collision of street
car and an engine at the crossing of the
Fort Wayne road and Forty.seventh
street. The engineer and two crossing
watchmen on duty at the time are under
arrest. The killed are George Blahs,
two unknown men and an unknown
woman. A number OF those wounded
are seriously injured, and some may die.
The engine crashed into the car go sud-
denly that the occupants were unable to
escape. Traffic was very heavy at the
time, and the car was crowded to the
doors with people standing in the aisles.
The engineer claims that for some un-
known reason he did not see the car in
time to avoid collision, and the passen-
gers in the car, owing to the heavy coat
ing of frost on the windows, could not
see out. The car was struck in the
middle and dragged 100 yards. Neither
of the watchmen were at their post OF
duty at the time of the accident. The
killed, two of whom were found under
the wheels of the engine, we're removed,
and the wounded were cared for as
quickly as possible.
One OF the unknown dead has been
identified as Archibald McAndrews.

.Oficers of an Insurance Company
Charged with Bad Management.
New York, Dec. ga committee of
the directors of the Union Life Insur-
ance company asks that the state insur-
ance department bring suit for the ap-
pointmsnt of receiver, declaring that
the funds of the company have disap-
peared and in some cases have been
misused that the company has been
grossly mismanaged and is insolvent.
They lay the blame on President Levy.
The missing funds are said to aggre-
gate between SIS, ,000 and 10000. This
afternoon William Abott, secretary of
the company, Issued reply to the
charges, in which he claims the charges
we're instigated by former directorsin the
company who were disappointed at not
being reelected, and are now taking
revenge by publishing untruthful re-
ports intended to injure the company.
He says there has been no misuse Of
funds Of the company, and no use of
funds which was not regularly approved
by the board of directors.

An Illegal Legislature.

RENO, Ney., Dec. 29.-The following
editorial appeared in this evenings
Gazette: A communication from Gen.
r. M. Clarke in this number of the Ga
zette contains the startling declaration
that the incoming legislature will be an
illegal body, the reapportionment at the
last session not having been made in ac-
cordance with the requirements of the
constitution of the state. General Clarke
argues the matter thoroughly and quotes
extensively from the constitution
and other authorities in sup
port OF bis position. "We have
read the communication carefully,
given it due consideration, and for the
life of us we cannot discern where the
writer's conclusions can be successfully
asserted. That the new apportionment
of memberships was made in direct con-
tradiction to the letter and spirit of the
constitution appears to ue as clear as
the MONDAY sun. It ia an unfortunate
state of affairs one for which we confess
ourselves unable to suggest method by
which the error cen be rectified."

Two Senatorial Claimants Likely to Go

HELENA, Mont, Dec 29.-Nothing has
been accomplished relative to reorgan-
izing the canvassing board OF Chouteau
county and counting the returns from
Box Elder precinct, as ordered by per-
emptory mandate issued by the supreme
court. Marshal Rumeey went up to
Fort Benson, the county seat OF Chou
teau, as directed, to serve writ on any
one of the six persons named in it. So
far he has been unable to find any of
them.
A. j. Davidson, Democratic men,
ber-elect of the house, is lying almost
at the point of death in Helena. He
will have to be taken to the house in
bed. if indeed he can be taken at all,
next Monday when the house meets for
organization. 1t now seems to be q
foregone conclusion that the legislature
will split into two bodies, as it did two
years ago, and that two senatorial
claimants will 60 down to Washington.
One will have credentials signed by the
governor and secretary of state and the
speaker OF the Republican house. Toe
others voucher will be signed by the
president of the senate and the epeaker
of the Democratic house.

A sK1PPER's EXPERIENCE.
Hfe Yacht Seized by . Customs Ofhcer
at Cedros Island.

HE Yacht Seized by . Customs Oficer
at Cedros Island.
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 29.-Skipper Forrest
of the yacht Excelsior. now at this port,
tells of an experience at Cedros island
which nearly resulted in the loss of his
boat. Being out to search for the body
Of George Neale, who was murdered off
the Coronado islands some weeks ago by
Captain Smith, he was driven by gale
to GEEK refuge at Cedros island. There he
wac visited by Mexican customs officer
from Ensenada, who, finding he had no
papers, seized his yacht. The sails were
removed and the officer went ashore,
where he locked them up in black
smith chop belonging to the Cedros
Island Mining company, then going on
to the mining camp for the night. The
schooner Queen of the Bay came in that
night and rendered aid to the Excelsior,
but the skipper went ashore in skiff,
stole his own eails and put to sea. As
the Queen O. the Bay had no papers
authorizing her to land at Cedros island,
he thinks she was probably seized next
day, she having put in at that place on
account OF the illness Of her captain.

opening celebration of the boulevard
through Elysian park, to take place

MORE MONEY NEEDED.
A Lack OF Funds for the Coaling Sta
tion at Pago-PagO.


ton at Psgo-Pago.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The navy de-
partment has encountered another OBJ
stacle in the work OF equipping coaling
station in the harbor at Pago- Pago,
Samoa. An appropriation of 100000
has been made toward the purchase Of
the necessary lsnd and equipment, and
bids invited for the construction of an
iron pier, with the necessary landing
facilities. Seven were received but only
two were low enough to justify
further consideration, as those of B.
Mcmahon & Son Of San Francisco
for $78,700, and the Coronsd o
Machine company OF San Diego, at $685.
400. 1t 60 happens, however, that even
these bids are in excess of the available
balance of the appropriation, which has
already suffered severe drains to meet
necessary preliminary expenses. aggre-
eating about $35, 900. The question now
agitating the department is not 30 much
as to which of the two bids shall be &C.
cepted, as to the beet manner of supply
ing the deficiency in the appropriation.
The matter is now in the hands OF Judge
Advocate General Lemly, and will prob
ably be disposed of in a few weeks.

A. Revolution Said to Be Impending In
Ecuador.
New YORK, Dec. pa dispatch from
Panama says: Ecuador is in condi
tion OF unrest, and there is strong reason
to apprehend an approaching revolution.
President Cordero has assumed almost
despotic powers, overriding the consti-
tuition and the laws. He has used the
veto power in most drastic manner,
annulling financial and customs laws
by congress, and leaving the executive
work without the semblance of legality.
The president is now practically dicta-
tor, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that revolution will shortly break
out with the view of re-establishing a
constitutional government.

who wrote the tariff message Of 1887, who

in the man who has more backbone than
any other president since Jackson has
shown Major McKinley's wishes are
pregnant; he terminates his statements
from these. He wishes Cleveland would
lose courage; he hopes he has; he grasps
at the straw Of hope, and imagines that
the letter is disappointment. Even at
this distance. reading between the lines,
we can see the pucker on Major McKin-

that Grover Cleveland is losing courage.

special program of music is being pre-
pared for the occasion. The church has
been refrescoed, painted, carpeted and
otherwise improved. Present and former
members of the church and friends are
earnestly invited to worship with the
congregation on that day.
The work of frescoing the entire in
terror of the edifce was done by Carl

to be the most beautiful design in the
city. The painting was done by War
wick, Cross & Perkins Handsome new
carpets were furnished by w. B. Sharp
& Co.
Hanover Presbyterian church was or
ganized in the year 1872, and it is be-
lieved that the church itself has done a
good work in this community 1t gave
considerable help TO both Central and
Olivet churches when they were being
built.
The splendid work that has been done
in this church is the result of diligent
effort on the part of Rev. Lafayette
Marks. ID. b., the pastor, and an enter
prising ofIiciary. They have practically
succeeded in building new church
where old Hanover stood at one time.
| II is expected that the church will be
packed to the doors at both services on
