OTTAWA, Dec. l9.-Maior Sherwood,
Commissioner Of the Dominion police

after an absence of about two months
During that time he has been col

said that important evidence bearing
upon this phase Of the difficulty has
been obtained by the commissioners.
About Il month ago Sherwood left Vic

prosecuted his mission with such Sc
crecy that it was not until the day

BEER BREAKS CRIME.

determination Crusade Followed by Ter
rible Revenge.
Cherokee, Iowa, Dec. 19.-The resi-
dents of this town were aroused from
slumber at , o'clock this morning by 4
terrific explosion, which on investiga-
ton proved to be an attempt to blow
up the children of scion' parsonage,
occupied by elder John Patterson and
family.
A dynamite bomb was thrown, which
fell a little short of the main structure,
but tore the porch in fragments and
shattered the windows.
A son of the pastor has been actively
attempting to enforce the prohibition
law in this city, and last week, while
acting in the capacity of a special po-
liceman, assisted in raiding a restau-
rant where % barrels Of beer were
seized, which were stored in the cellar
of the parsonage to await condemna-
ton proceedings set for today.
1t is supposed the preparation of
the outrage was actuated by a spirit of
revenge and desire to destroy the
beer so that it might not be used in
evidence. Justice O'Donnen today or
dered the beer destroyed
The people are all greatly excited
over the outrage, and active measures
will be taken to discover and bring the
guilty ones to Justice.

least, is Judge Johnsons Judgment of
the function of the board of canvassars
The question Of what should be done
with the nine ballots is a question for
the legislature to decide. That body is
by law entitled to judge of the qualifi-
cations of its members. The judge said
he would not undertake to forecast
what the legislature would do, nor
would he tender it any advice. In con-
clusion. the judge again said that it
was only required of the canvassers
that they make a tabular statement of
the returns as presented to them, and
to leave the legislature to determine
who is elected. The judgment a the
court was that the relator, Theodore
Procl:now. was entitled upon the face
Of the petition and the returns to 4
peremptory writ of mandamus reQuir-
ing the election canyasSerc to declare
him elected.

STORMY SEA FOR BRIGGS.
His Argument Finished and Chances
Against Him.

His Argument Finished and Chances
Against Him.
New York, Dec. 19.-Dr Briggs fin
ished his three days speech today.
Several times he was applauded, but
the closing moments Were against him.
R;lking up charge 6, the essence of
which is that the accused declared that
Sanctification was not complete at death
which is contrary to the standards of
the church, which teaches that souls of
believers are at their death at once
made perfect in holiness, the defendant
said that no proof is offered for this
essential doctrine In the charge. He
had declared for progressive sanctiti-
cation and argued ut length to show
that there was Il middle state and that
s:lnctiication could never be completed
until the day or resurrection. The in
variable statement of the new testa-
mcnt is that 1T the second advent Jesus
Christ is the goal of sanctification.
III conclusion DIR. Briggs said: II
have shown that doctrines taught by
me are not contrary to the Westminster
confessions; not irreconcilable with the
scriptures, but the product of COM
parative study of the scriptures. 1t is
now for the presbytely Of New York to
make it's decision and l pray God that
you make no mistake, but stand firm
ly on the word of God, and the con-
stitution of our church, and SO deliver
a righteous verdict"
DIR. Briggs asked how much more
time the prosecuting committee needed.
He demanded that the prosecution be
not permitted to bring in new matter
or matter prepared months ago. He
wanted the matter settled.
McCook, speaking for the prosecu-
ton. said he thought they could con-
clude the reply by Wednesday evening.
The committee would insist on the
usageS OF the court, which allowed the
complainant in all actions both criminal
and civil, to open and close the pro-
ceedingS The moderator so ruled.
DIR. Briggs arose and commenced to
speak, but the moderator declared him
out Of order. DR.. briggs appealed,
but the moderator was sustained by an
overwhelming vote.

members Of the jury the most awful
scoring ever heard in Chicago court.
1t seems these nine men a couple Of
days ago sent into the judge a requisi-
ton for whiskey, beer, cigars and cards.
The judge paid no attention to the
requisition. He referred to this matter
in his oral castigation and characterized
them of a moral character he would
not attempt to define.
In conclusion, Judge Brentano fined
each of the nine guilty men the sum of
their earnings on the jury, and when
one of them attempted to make ex-

IN PROcHNOW'S FAVOR.
Judge johnson Says the Milwaukee Ballot
Were All Right.

Judge johnson Says the Milwaukee Ballots
Were All Right.
Judge Johnson has decided the con-
tested assembly election case in favor
of Theodore Prochnow, and has put
himself on record as not being In favor
of counting votes for persons whose
names are not on the ballots.
The judge first gave full history of
the case and summary of the argu-
mentS made by the attorneys in it. He
said that it has been as well settled as
anything has been settled in this state
that boards of canvassers of election
returns have nothing whatever to do
but count. 1t has also been decided
again and again, said the judge, that
the canvassers have no right to decide
election contests. The law Of 1891,
which made changes in existing cleo
ton laws, was referred to and de-
scribed by the judge. A careful scru-
my of this law, the judge said, shows
that the canyasSers are never men-
toned in it. The law gives the In
spectors a few discretionary powers,
but not the canyassers. There Is moth
ing in the law which countenances any
such proceeding as was taken by the
in this case. The canvass
ers are not to undertake to declare for
whom, votes are intended to be cast
when the name Of an eligible candi-
date is not on the ballots.
The election canvassers remain just
what they have always been-a mere

the disastrous effects of this judicial in
depreciation, congress is asked to take
such immediate action as will give
legislative construction to the word
line" in the statute.
Several amendments recommended by
the commission for the purpose of
strengthening the law were discussed,
especially those growing out Of the late
decisions Of the supreme court and
Judge Gresham's decision that con-
gress cannot constituionally compel
the production of testimony before a
non judicial tribunal.
Regarding the proposed amendment
by which pooling may be permitted,
the report says: The attempt to secure
the public from discrimination, extor-
ton. favoritfsm, ETC., is the very es-
sence and purpose Of the law and it
will be vain to protect carriers from
competitive attacks upon each other
ii the general public cannot be protected
from the greater evils above mentioned.

Observation-Disclosures.

Commission's Report Tells of Work Done
and Much That Is Not Done.
Washington, Dee. 19.-The annual
report of the interstate commerce COM
mission says that experience has es-
tablished the importance of interstate
law and intensified it's necessity, and
the very respects in which the law
failed to meet public expectation de-
monstrates the utility of government
supervision.
1t is not too much to say that judicial
Interpretation has a limited meaning of
law and ascribed it in an intent not
contemplated when it was passed. But
the effect of these opinions are greatly
exaggerated. The work of the commits
sion is set forth at length including the
teresting statement that there are now
on file with the commission $4,000
tariff schedules; also review of the
hearing and investigations disposed of.
The report says that the character
Of the proceedings before the commission
indicates that the main causes of COM
plants arise from discrimination and
preference in rates and facilities and
not from rates unreasonable in them
selves.
Under the head of proceedings In

long and short haul case, is discussed.

FROM SLEEP TO DEATH.
Eight Men Have Their Lives Crushed
Out In - Collision.

Out In CollisfOn.
ALEXANDRIA, Mimi. Dec. IL. - A
frightful accident occurred on the
Great Northern railroad yesterday
morning at Nelson station, five miles
cas-. of here, in which eight men were
killed and five were seriously injured.
There had been collision Friday
morning at Nelson and a number of
ears were wrecked. The wreck train
had been there two days clearing up
and was making up preparatory to
pulling out for the east. At about l
o'clock yesterday morning the wreck
train caboose was left standing on the
main track with number of ears. An
east bound freight was due about /
o'clock and had orders to sidetracl<
for the passenger train due here at
1:2o.
The fireman of the freight tells the
story as follows: There is heavy
grade west Of the station, and as the
freight, with thirty-six loaded cars,
under charge of Conductor William
Mickey and Engineer James Maloney,
approached the switch the engine was
shut off and brakes called for. There
was no perceptible decrease of speed
and Conductor Mickey climbed out of
the caboose where he was and began
setting brakes, but, the speed was too
great to stop. When within train
length of the caboose they saw the
track was full ahead and both engi-
neer and fireman jumped.
The engine struck the wreck train,
threw the caboose on top of the next
car, setting both on fire. There were
fourteen men III the caboose. One
jumped off, five were hurt, three were
burned beyond recognition and four
were crushed to death. One was
totally burned up, not sign of his re-
mains being found.
The names of the killed sre:
NELS o. BOKKEN OF Nelson.
CHRIST MARTENS of Osakis
OLE MARTENSON OF Osakis, brother of
the above.
JOHN ENGSTRAND Of Spruce Hill.
JOHN AKERSON of Spruce Hill.
Engstrand's nephew; name unknown.
CON DRUMMER of Yankton, S. D.
One unknown.
The injured are:
A. M. BROSEU OF st. Paul: back and head.
serious.
THOMAS WEIGH of Boston. Mass: bad scalp
cuts, ribs broken
PAT HARMON of Boston, Mass: shoulder
dislocated.
DAVID REED of Nelson: slight injury to
head.
HENRY Ross, fireman on ast-bound freight;
shoulder dslocated.
The coroner commenced an inquest
which will be continued to-day, as
some of the witnesses could not be
found. This was the worst accident
which has ever occurred on this divi-
sion of the road, and was due to the
heavy grade having curve, and per-
haps carelessness in leaving the
caboose on the main track or slowness
in applying the brakes
It is reported that the train was run
ming about twelve miles an hour when
it collided with the wreck train. The
men killed were wreck-train hands and
were asleep in the caboose when the
engine struck it. O. Bergland, fore.
man, was the only one awake and he
had barely time to call to his men and
jump, thus saving himself, but the
warning cry came too late for the
others, who were all killed or badly
injured.
