HORRIb MANGLED.
r. ". Fletcher Run Over and Killed by q
Passenger Train.

PORTLAND, Jan. 2l.-About s o'clock
yesterday morning passenger train No
5 on the Northern Pacific ran over and
killed a man named Frederick william
Fletcher. The fatal accident occurred
about two and half miles from Hol-
brock station, and about twelve miles
from Portland. At first the trainmen
thought that the engine had struck n
COW, and the train was not halted.
After the train had reached Lanton,
some distance this side of the scene, a
brakeman went hack to make an investi.
CATION. The brakeman was Mortified to
discover the remains OF human being
instead OF COW. The body was most
horribly mangled, the arms and head
being completely severed from the trunk.
The features were so mangled as to be
unacceptable. Coroner River was
notified and caused the fragmt nts Of
the remains to be removed to the
morgue. Nothing could be found by
which the body could be identified, ex.
cept some papers scattered along the
track. He was about 20 years of age,
and a seaman. How he came to be on
the track ia not known. An inquest was
held later this afternoon.

1t IL Now An Epidemic and IL Rapldly
Spreading.
LONDON, Jan. 20.-The influenza In
this city has reached the proportions Of
IN epidemic, which is rapidly spreading
and increasing in violence. The total
number Of cases reported daily IL going
up by leaps and bounds, and the advance
in the death rate is becoming Q cause Of
alarm. The law courts are hampered in
their operations BY the epidemic. and
judges, jurymen, council, witnesses and
officers are down with It, and many
cases before the courts have been post
poned in consequence. The business
classes are not 30 much affected on &C
count Of their more active life, bnt the
complaint is beginning to make ito APP
pearance among them. People who
work out Of doors, or are much In the
open air, are not vet tone ed. but all
have to be extremely careful, for cold
contracted ct this period is likely to lead
to more or less severe attack of the
dreaded grip. The disease is exte nding
to the provinces. In Sufolkshire all the
schools have been closed.

JOHN BARDsLEY IN PRISON.

PHrLADELAHiA, Jan. 2l.-John Bards-
ley, obstinate aud silent, refused 70 be-
tray HE colleagues in the great steal Of
state and city funds. Neither the queries
Of the district attorney, the adnloaition0
Of the bench nor the pricking Of his own
conscience made the obduYate municipal
criminal speak, when his testimony was
needed to open the doors Of the p0niten-
tiary for other and equally guilty parties.
John Bardsley today IL = broken hearted.
tearfnl and crushed old man. HE nerve
and force have gone. The brain that
dominated councils for yearA snd forced

only dreams Of freedom. A gentleman
who haa recently seen and talked with
the convict says that the old man haa no
interest, no heart in anything, but lives
and treathes only In the hope Of re-
turn to the world "John Rsrdsley b.
lieves that he will be paYdoned, do

The yearning for freedom has been In
tensified by his under standing that Q

who Ii unwilling TO allow his name to b.
mentioned At present, expresses the be-
lief that John Bardsley, il allowed,
might be willing to appear before the
committee and answer questions more
readily than no did those pnt to him by
District attorney Graham. There ID some
conjecture a. to the power Of the COM
mittee to bring the prisoner before them
as witness, and some gentlemen are
understood to be very anxious to have
that power limited.
