Whether through envy or otherwise,
young Biddle, the prize orator in the
university contest at Lawrence a few
days ago, is charged with plagiarizing
part of his Grafton. 1t is a serious i'm
putation to be laid against any one, but
1t is not the first time, even in Kansas,
that it has been done: the brilliant and
scholarly ingalls, was accused of the
same thing only few years ago, to say
nothing Of the later exploits of the fe-
male Cicero, cur own Mary Ellen. The
truth OF the matter is, there is very little
originality in thought or expression.
The realm of the former has been ex-
plored to devastation years and centuries
ago, and, while the flexibilitv, the elias
ticiey, the omnibus capacity of the
vehicle of conveyance in the latter is
almost beyond limit, yet it has been
worked and the changes rung until
new combination is hopeless task.

ANNIE SULLIVAN DEAD.
One More Victim of the Accident-Fanny
Smith at the Hospital.

Annie Sullivan died at the Rhode Island
Hospital at 10:45 o'clock this morning
from severe injuries received in last
nights sad accident.
Fanny Smith lies at the hospital in a
critical condition and, as the hours go by,
the chances of her recovery seem to lessen.
John NJ. Peters, superintendent of the
hospital, was informed Of the accident by
telephone at 1870 this morning. He was
told to provide accommodations for four
teen persons. The full working force,
consisting of five physicians. seven
nurses and four male attendants, was
called out and preparations were made
for their reception.
The ambulance was sent to the Union
depot Immediately. 1t was gone for al
most three hours. Meanwhile SuperIn-
tendent Peters communicated with the
train dispatcher, and was given four
different numbers of injured who were to
be cared for. First the number was four
teen, then eight. then six, then three.
About o'clock the ambulance arrived
at the hospital with two victims of
the affair. Annie Sullivan and Fanny
Smith. DIR. Merrill accompanied them.
The scalp OF the Sullivan woman was
almost torn off but her skull was not
fracture. She received n compound
fracture of the right arm and of the left
thigh. Her toes were crushed and mang-
led and her whole body was badly
bruised. She was unconscious when she
arrived at he hospital.
The woman's wounds were dressed and
she was put TO bed. She suffered consid-
erJbly, but the pain was greatly allevi-
ated by an injection OF morphine under
the skin administered by DIR. Merrill at
Lonsdale. She did not recover conscious
ness until this morning at s o'clock and
then she could not take nourishment.
At 1045 she died.
The injuries received by the Smith wo-
man did not seem TO be of such a bad ma
ture. Her lower jaw was broken in sew
eral places, her scalp was wounded and
her whole head was bruised. In all
probability conclusion OF the brain has
resulted. She was conscious when put

THE PURCHASE OF SILVER.
A Most Important Meeting of the Finance
Committee.

Committee.
WARRINGTON, Jan. IS. - Perhaps the
most important meeting Of the finance
committee of the Senate held during this
Congress, was that of yesterday, which re-
suited in decision to favorably report
the Sherman bill to repeal the purchase OF
silver. Subsequently Mr.. Sherman re-
ported the bill and 1t was placed on the
calendar.
The meeting was largely attended every
member being present but Senator Jones
and Senator Vance, who is i'll. The COM
mittee was in session for an hour and
half, and, while the majority were in favor
of the action taken, q vigorous opposition
was manifested by Mr.. Harris Of Ten
nessee and Mr.. Voorhees, OF Indiana.
Those who voted to report the bill favora-
bly, were Senators Morrill,, Sherman, ALI
son, Aldrich, Hiscock, Mcpherson and
Carlisle. Senators VOORHEES, and Harris
entered their emphatic protests against
the proposed action.
The bill reported is that introduced BY
Mr.. Sherman during the last session, and
simply provides that on and after Jan. ],
1894 so much OF the act OF July II, 1890 as
provides for the purchase of silver bullion
to the aggregate of 4,500,00o ounces
month and the issuance of treasury note
In payment therefor shall be repealed.
A section OF the bill reported by Mr..
Morrill, March !, 1892, providing thst
ceive circulating notes TO the amount o.
the par value of the United States bond
deposited by them, was added to the bill
asreported. Senators Teller and Voorhecs
are credited withsaying that not 10 Demo
cratic Senators will vote for IL.

THE PANAMA TRIAL.
Advocate General Rau Scores the De

Advocate General Rau Scores the De
Lesseps.
PARIS, Jan. 1S.-The prisoners in the
Panama trial looked firm and confident
yesterday, with the exception OF Charles
de Lesseps, upon whom anxiety relative
to his situation and that of his aged faith
er is evidently having wearing effect.
Advocate General Rau opened for the
prosecution. He said that until the last
moment he had cherished a hope that the
defendants would furnish frank explana-
tions OF the charges against them, and es-
tablish their innocence. He found him
self compelled to demand from the court
a judgment that would brand them with
fraud.
He also felt it his duty TO demand an
adequate sentence upon Ferdinand de
Lesseps, whose former glory and honor
had been wrecked in this tragic advent
ure, which had reduced to poverty many
thousands of thrifty workers.
NJ. Rau emphasized the fact that news'
papers of all shades, their editors, direc-
tors and managers, had received money
and all sorts of disgraceful transactions
were concealed under the heading OF ad-
vertising expenses. The advocate general
had not finished his address when the
court adjourned.

Adoiph Girouard Imagines Himself Fire
Fiend.

PALMER, Mass, Jan. ls.-Adolph Girou-
ard is a raving maniac. He confesses that
he set fire to the barn at Bondsville in
which three of his horses were recently
burned, but little confidence can be placed
in this, for the mans mania has assumed
such a form that his statements are
doubted.
He imagines himself fire fiend, screams
"fire, fire" and goes through all the ageny
OF n conflagration. During these spells
il requires several men TO hold him, and
his cries alarm the neighborhood.
His condition was first noticed Sunday,
when he went To church for the first time
in sixteen years.
MIR. Girouard has been committed to the
asylum at Northampton. lie has wife
and four children at Bondsville. He Is
said to have been q hard workingman
