Aionq the Iron RuJis.

HoHg me iron MANS
Two railroad men were killed on
the B. & o. last Thursday morning.
Adam Bealy, an engineer who had
been in the employ of the railroad
for twenty-five years, was killed by
express train No. near Martinsburg.
In trying to avoid a freight train he
stepped in front of the approaching
express, which was hidden by his
own train on the siding, and was
thrown quite a distance, dying in
stantly. He leaves a widow. AT
Brunswick, B. F. Curry, brakeman,
fell from a moving car. The wheels
passed over his head, crushing it into
jelly He leaves a widow and three
children.
We think it would be a good plan
for the Norfolk g. Western Railroad
to take part of the four and a-half
millions that it has just borrowed and
build freight depot at Shepherds
town-or, better still, build a new pas
senger station at a more convenient
place and use the present station for
freight depot. It's rather queer
that in these days place the size Of
Shepherdstown should have to put
up with an old freight car for freight
warehouse.
The rumor is current that there has
been a breach affecting the friendly
relations between the Pennsylvania
and Norfolk and Western manage
ments and as a result the joint Pull
man car service is likely TO be discon-
tinued between New York aud the
South. The ruinor, however, lacks
confirmation. The cause for the re-
ported breach is alleged freight rela-
tionship established between the Nor
folk and Western and Western Mary
lands roads.
1t is said that the Norfolk & Wes-
tern Railroad has just succeeded in

dangerous on sea and land. Be pre-

for a general cold wave over the con-

cold. The 9th will bring hard reae-

rain, snow and ice, and turn in upon
us the parting cold wave of 1892.

The Constitutionality of the Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2S.A decision
was handed Down by the supreme court
in the case of Mary e. Haggart, the

ed damages because a saloon had been
located alongside her residence, and in
cidentally she attacked the constitution

that the stat" had no right to license
anything calculated to iniure the pro,

NOTHING TO ARBITRATE.
The President said Such an Idea Was
Out Of tho Question.


" WASHINGTON, Jan. est TRANSFERRED
late Tuesday afternoon that Minis
ter Egan had communicated to the
secretary of state the reply of the Chill
ian government to the note of Secretary
Blaine Of the 2tst inst, as was stated in
the dispatches Tuesday morning from
Santiago,
The general incredulity of the public
regarding the Santiago dispatches was
due to the fact that Mr.. Egan had
notified the department that the Chill
ian government had asked for two
or three days longer in which to
make its answer, owing to the absence
of President Montt at the springs above
Santiago. Public expectation had set
tied down to delay of that length of
time, and the published statement, in
dicating that President Montt had re-
turned to the capital, was wholly un-
looked for.
1t was not until Tuesday night that
the fact of the reception of the message
became circulated, and the sentiment
among public men was one of doubt
and uncertainty. They knew not. Mt
first, what to say on the subject when
asked for opinions as to the new phase
Of the matter.
The statement Of the contents of the
message in Tuesdays telegram is said
to be practically correct Minister Egan
said in effect that Chill had agreed to
withdraw the offensive note sent by
Senior Malta; to withdraw its request
for the recall of Minister Egan, and to
submit the Baltimore affair to the arbi-
tration of some neutral nation, or to
submit the matter to the decision Of the
United States supreme court. Mr.. Egan
stated these propositions at greater
length than the press dispatch, but the
exact additions can not now be ascer.
tanned There is reason to believe, how
ever, that the Chilian government not
only offers to withdraw the offensive

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, - Captain
schley was at the navy department
again Wednesday morning, He said in
conversation that trouble with Chill
was inevitable. He thought the presi-
dent had not stated the case against
Chill too strongly in his message. The
captain found that Secretary Tracy was
i'll, and after q conference with Assist
ant Secretary Soley, he left the depart

state and navy departments Wednesday
morning, and it was said that no news
from Chill had been received. Secre-

ant Secretary Wharton was at his desk,
having returned from Philadelphia, but
said he knew Of no new phase of the

WHITELAW REID TO RESIGN.
Our Minister to France Desires to Re-En-
ter the Field OF journalism.

ter the Field OF journalism.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-The report
which has been circulated with more or
less regularly for some time past that
Whitelaw Peid, minister to France,
would resign that position and return
to the United States to re-enter the field
of journalism was confirmed at the state
department Tuesday.
Mr.. Reid is expected home shortly,
early i'll February, it is believed. The
cause for his resignation is desire to
resume his lifetime labors in the news
paper profession, and is in accordance
with the understanding reported at the
time that ht probably would not remain
in Paris for the full tenure of this ad-
ministration. He has successfully con-
Quoted the negotiations of the removal
OF the restric tions upon the admission Of
American pork into France, and he can
now return, knowing that he has been
instrumental in accomplishing one Of
the most beneficial acts of the admin
istration.
1t is said that Mr. Reid will bring
with him the draft Of proposed version
OF the extradition treaty with France,
but this can not be confirmed. The de-
partment, however, 1t is known, is con-
sidering the terms of reciprocal ar
rangement with France for the free ad-
mission of French sugar and hides into
this country in return for the free re-
ceipt by France of American lumber
and agricultural productions The ne
gotiations on this subject, however,
have not progressed far enough to war

A Towboat and Two Scows with About
One Hundred People on Board.
New YoRS, Jan. %. - The towboat
Webster and two scows belonging to the
department of street cleaning are drift
ing out to sea. The steamboat is be-
yond the control of her skipper and
crew. She has not been seen since 9:20
o'clock Tuesday morning, when she was
sighted by the Roelaway life saving
station. AT that time she was signaling
for assistance.
This much was known late in the
afternoon, but since then the lookouts
on the Long Island coast report that
while the Webster was struggling in the
teeth Of a f4,ty-nile gale her hawser
broke and became tangled in and about
her propeller. Thus she was at the
mercy of terrific sea, and bobbing
helplessly, she began drifting out to
sea.
The greater terror, however, was
about the garbage scows which had
been towed outinto the ocean, as is the
custom, to b dumped Of their refuse.
On these scows, it is stated, there were
at least sixty Italians, whose help is re-
quired in dumping the scows. These
helpless creatures We're seen by the out
locks to be moving about frantically,
crazed no { oubt by fright and their
impotence in their terrible situation.
The tugboat Fl. S. Nichols, with two
other scows, which had been discharged
of garbage, anchored her tow, and then
started to the assistance of the Webster
The captain of the Nichols concluded,
however, that with his own anchored
scows in extreme danger, and the
chances of reaching the Webster against
him, he would do better to come up to
the city at once to report and secure
help, which was sent

Mohler, secretary of state agricultural
department, estimates the amount of
wheat raised in Kansas at 5S,970,
900 bushels. This is nearly 5,000,-
600 greater than the estimate made by
Government Statistician Dodge. Mr..
Mohler says this is q very conservative
estimate, as the 1900 correspondents of
the department figured out $4,000, 900
bushels, Mohler estimates the acreage
in wheat this year to be. 25 per cent
greater than last.
