and found his son-in-law, Albert Bradley,
seriously injured and bis daughter, Mrs.
Bradley, dead. Her body could be identi-
fed only by the shreds of clothing, the
flesh being burned into an uDrecognizable
mass. At the hospital lies her husband,
crying continually in his delirium, Have
you found my wife?"
The survivors tell vivid stories Of their
experiences. II. G. Crowley of Port Huron
ut the time of the accident had jus: left his
brother, w. 81. Crowley. in the second
coach. He could not find him after the
wreck and spent all day in futile search.

straining to extricate her, the flames be-

UNCLE SAM is AWAKE
Keeping Close Watch on the
Union Pacific Receivers.
The Attorney-General Gives an Opin-
ion That Congress Should Take
Some Special Action.

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The Attorney.
| General transmitted to the House a COM
muuication saying that tine Government
had not been made party to the receiver
ship proceedings of the Union Pacific and
| had been given no notice of such proceed
| ings. He therefore had grave doubts as to
their validity so far as the United States
was concerned. Such a proceeding in
practical operation, the Attorney General
said. tended seriously to prejudice the in
terests of the Government as protected by
existing laws. He expressed the opinion
that the protection of the interests Of the
United States would call for special legis-
lation.
Chai rman Sayers presented the emerg-
ency deficiency bill appropriating S127, 500
for cHstodians and janitors of public build
ings and 100000 for clerks to members
and it was passed.
The bill to compel railroads to maintain
stations at the townsites In the Cherokee
strip established by the Interior Depart
ment was taken up, and after a heated
passage at arms between Simpson and
Curtis. both of Kansas, it was passed.
Chairman Pendleton from the Commit
tee on Private Land Claims then called
up the famous McGarrahan claim. but the
morning hour expired before a quorum
could be secured.
In the second morning hour Bynum
called up the bill to remit 80 rer cent of
the duties on exhibits at the Worlds Fair.
Dingley opposed it. and Bynum offered an
amendment, which was adopted, provId-
ing that the act shall not apply to articles
sold or contracted for before its passage.
McMilln of Tennessee and DalZell of
Pennsylvania warmly supported the reso-
luton, and after some fur her debate
Caminetti offered an amendment, which
was adopted. extending the provisions of
the act to such exhibits as may be trans
ferred to the Midwinter Exposition at San
Francisco. Aldrich offered an amendment
which was adopted, to release entirely from
such duty such portions of the exhibits as
we're purchased for or donated to the Co
lumbian Exposition at Chicago. As
amended the resolution then passed without
division.
Consideration of the prin ting bill was
resumed. and Beltzboover of Pennsylvania
advocated an amendment to take the
printing for the Executive Department
away from the Government Printing Office
and let 1t out 20 private contractors. With
out action on the bill the House adjourned.

OPPOSED TO A BOND ISSUE.
Old-Time Democrats Cannot Be
Whipped Into Line.
SILVER MEN READY TO JUMP.
Hon. David Bennett Hill Thinks II
VIII Be Possible to Change
the Rules.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-It looked at 4
o'clock to-day as if the terms of the Demo
cratic compromise on the repeal bill had
been settled At o'clock, however. it be-
came apparent that some obstacle still
stood in the way of bringing the matter to
a climax. There was disagreement over
the bond feature and also over the time at
which the repeal of the Sherman act
should take effect. 1t appears that the
administration members of the Democratic
steering committee discovered when these
points were reached that they could not
accept them as provided in the document,
and it Is considered probable that they
made an effort to have the time for the
expiration Of the Sherman law fixed at
the 1St of July, 1884, instead Of on Janu-
airy /, 1895. 1t Is asserted that the treasury
officials said that if the purchase of silver
bullion should cease in July of next year
it would be possible to preserve a parity
without action upon the bond question,
and as some of the stanchest repeal Demo-
Gratis are opposed to the bond proposition
it is probable that an effort will be made In
the direction Of reducing the time for the
future existence of the present law and
the eliminat of the bond proposition
altogether. The conference came to an
end without reaching any agreement. but
with the understanding that another eff
fort will be made pro badly tomorrow.
Some of the silver Democrats said tina.
il the steering committee did not reach a
con clusion by Monday they would join
with the Republicans and pass Senator
Quay's amendment, which extends the
Sherman law until January. 1896. or year
longer than the best that is offered to the
silver men by the Democratic bill. On the
other hand Senator Hill says he has
already received assurance of large vote
for his proposed cloture resolution on the
Democratic side as soon as it becomes ap-
parent that the steering committee cannot
agree.
There are excellent reasons for saying
that before the middle of next week the
repeal bill will pass the Senate, to take ef-
feet not later than October, 1894. and prob
ably with provision authorizing the Sec
retary of the Treasury to issue bonds not
exceeding $500, 100000 and coin the
seigniorage now in the treasury. This,it is
said. would not be considered surrender
by the administration.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Oct Ex-senator AL
llson arrived home from Washington this
evening. The Senator thinks President
Cleveland will consent ia compromise on
the lines now being discussed if power is
given the administration to Issue bonds to
purchase gold and keep the reserve up
to the proper minimum; and he says this
provision is likely to be inserted in the
compromise. He believes there will be a
change in the Senate rules after the bill is
acted upon. limiting debate and making it
possible to have an Immediate vote on any
question.
