From hte National Blildn- Register
Whenever any system of rapid transit has
been instituted in any of the cities of this
any other country there have always
followed in the wake thereof a number of
deplorable accidents. In this city. since
the introduction of the cable system. there
have been a number Of sad occurrences
already recorded. and from the very nature
of the subject considered in connection with
the indifference exercised by a great many
individuals in connection with their own
personal safety, it is highly probable that
the last of this kind of mishaps has 10y no
means been recorded. The Introduction of
rapid transit upon the thoro.tghfares of a
large city Is of Itself iepugnant to the en-
tire security of the public. and the best
that can De 'iole unl3' the circumstances
is. first, to educate The people much as
Is possible to the para importance of
using all possible caution. and, secondly,
to compel the companies OF corpora TONS
operating such rapid 'ransit lines to use all
possible" 5il,yalce aga,',St Accidents.
1t can hardly be said in favor of those
controlling these rapid transit lines in this
city that they are exercising that degree of
diligence that should be, inasmuch as they
have not seen fit so far to provide their
cars with anything in the way of a good
fender that would prevent a further repeti-
ton of the horrible accidents that have
been of so much frequency. The immense
Importance Of giving the public the bene-
tit of every practical safeguard against loss
of life or limb should impel the companies
or corporations owning and operating the
local rapid transit lines to do their best
without further controversy. A few more
accidents like those that have occurred will
arouse public Indignation to a high pitch,
and when suc1 occurs somebody usually
hears about it.
Rapid transit is an essential factor and
cannot be dispensed with but at The same
time the public welfare demands that
every possible precaution be taken by the
opera tors of the rapid transit lines 50 as to
reduce the likelihood of accidents down to
the very lowest notch. As The Evening
Star very wisely says: There should be a
real guard at the forward end of every car
tnat is propelled mechanically, and it should
be placed there before the coroner has rea-

THE VIKING AT NEW ORLEANS.
How the Morse Craft Appeared to the
Marines Of the Lower Mississippi,

How the Morse Craft Appeared to the
Marines of the Lower Mississippi.
The Viking ship has arrived at New Or
leans from Chicago, where 1t was one of
the attractions Of the worlds fair. The
queer craft was towed by the tug Mamie
Coyle through the inland rivers
sweeping down low amidships the lines Of
the strange craft were against the stem I'M
TIL their upward course terminated in half
the body and tail Of a fish. Braced in the
bows, directly against the point where the
grifiln's figure terminated in the body of
the vessel, stood wooden shield with a
central endorsement of the brass on the
reverse of its hand, grip and guard. Rang
ed along the sides of the craft within it's
open decks were two rows Of similar
shields.
A thick stubby mast rose just forward Of
amidships. Across 1t swung the heavy
boom OF lugger-rigged sail. closely furled
and clewed up. Down the main length Of
the vessel stretched a triangular awning
OF striped canvas. The vessel was gaily
decked with flags from stem to stern.
A man of sturdy physique, with confident
blue eyes and light fiaxen hair stood amid
ships peering ahead of the course of his
vessel He wore a neat uniform of blue
Another stood in the stern, his hand on the
tiller of the rudder, which was set to the
starboard instead of directly astern. Sew
haired. stood around in different parts of
the vessel Exactly as though she had sail
ed straight out of the pages Of some old
Norseland volume looked this vessel in the
bright sunlight of the cool December day.
The brave-looking sailor standing amid
ships was Capt. Magnus Andersen. who
sailed that open boat across the sea Just
to prove that his brave countryman, Lief
Ericsson, could have done the same LOO
years ago, as all good Norsemen claim that
he did. The flags at the bow, masthead
and stern of the vessel were those of Nor
way. of the United States and the special
ensign Of the Viking. bearing her name.
1t seems wonderful that so frail craft
should battle successfully against the
storms of the Atlantic. but Capt. Andersen
explains it by saying:
mo matter how high the waves were we
were always on top. The lightness of the
ship is its safeguard"
The furnishings of the Viking are as
plain as BELTS the rugged sailors OF that
early time. Oilskin bags, each containing a
reindeer skin, serve them for beds, made
anywhere on the bottom Of the craft. A
little stove for cooking and twenty-four
shields. such as were used by the old
Norsemen, make up the other contents of
the little vessel. After passing along the
entire city front the Viking returned to the
foot of st. Louis street. where she was tied
up. She will remain there for some time.

IN JAIL AND GUARDED.
Fifty Men Protecting an Ex-Sherif
in Indiana From Violence.


A dispatch from Terre Haute, Ind, sent
last night, says:
There is great excitement at Sullivan to-
night over the probability of an attempt to
lynch ex-Sheriff Willis. who disguised him
self as tramp and assassinated ex-Prose-
cutting Attorney Hultz on the street yes
lis is in Jail, and fifty special deputies are
guarding the structure. commanded by
United States Marshal Hawkins.
Hultz's dying words were that it was
Willis who shot him. His lawyer, in the
damages suit brought against him by Willis
for corrupting his wife, told him a few days
ago that Willis said when $1,000 was Of
fered him to settle the suit, that he would
pursue Hultz to his death.
Hultz was warned to arm himself, but
he said he never carried revolver in his
life and never would.
Willis had two loaded revolvers in his
pockets when he surrendered. He evidently
feared mob violence. Evidence accumulates
that Willis was provoked to the deed be-
cause of the published statement by Hultz
that he meant to remain in Sullivan. Will
lis had said that Hultz and he could not
live in the same town.
Willis wife and Hultz's wife were cousins
and during Mrs. Hultz's fatal illness six
months ago Mrs. Willis nursed her. The
improper intimacy began then, and was
discovered on the night OF september l.,
when Willis surprised them and shot and
wounded Hultz, who. however, escaped by
jumping from a window.
A message from Sullivan at o pm said
the people were collecting on the streets
and that the feeling against Willis was
growing more bitter every hour. The talk
has become SO ominous that the extra
guard was placed on duty. When Willis
shot Hultz at the time he found the lawyer
with his wife public sentiment entirely
Justified the eX-sheriff.
Although it was thought Hultz would die
Willis was not arraigDed for the shooting
When Hultz returned to the town, a week
ago, and announced that he intended to
stay there it was felt that Willis would be
justified in attacking him, but the assas-
sinatiCn of yesterday morning was too
cowardly for public sentiment to condone
The E'ore the people think about it the
more enraged they are.
Willis says he is innocent, but the cir
cumstantial evidence is complete that he
disguised himself and lay in wait for Hultz
with a shotgun. The victim had no op-
portunity to escape defend himself
Last night there some talk of vio-
lence at the Jail, but nothing happened
United States Marshal Hawkins. who serv-
ed as deputy under Sheriff Willis, was at
the Jail to aid in protecting the prisoner.

Says the Interior Department Has No
JudfsdictiOn Over the Maxwell Land

Governor Waite has received from Secre-
tary Smith. Secretary of the Interior
long letter in reply to the one in which
the governor characterized the Maxwell
land grant as "honeycombed with fraud"
The Secretary says:
Congress, on June 81, 1880, confirmed the
Maxwell grant to the fullest extent of the
boundaries as described In the petition of
the claimants. In accordance with said act
of Congress patent was issued for said land
on May ~. 1879. Suit was brought in the
circuit court of the United States for the
district of Colorado on August 70, 1So2, to
have said patent vacated and set aside and
the survey declared void in SO far as il
included land IN Colorado. 1hat court dis
missed the suit. An appeal was taken 10
the Supreme Court of The United States
which, on April 5. 1881, rendered a decision
sustaining the court below and refusing 10
interfere with the patent. This department
has no jurisdiction over land after this
issue of patent. Its power is ended when
the patent is issued and placed on the
records of the department.
IF this department were to disregard the
coniirmaCOry act of Congress and the re-
ated decisions of the United States Su-
preme Curt and restore to the local office
the plats of public surveys of the grant for
filings and entry the only result would be
to mIs.ead innocent parties into making
entries of land to which the department
would Je wholly powerless to convey any
title
