patriotic Juror. stopped of at Beioit to
make Mr.. Babbitt visit. and were met
with a royal cordiality that they will
never forget.
Mr.. Rabbits house Is one of the hand
soonest in Southern Wisconsin. Its name
signifies in the Indian vernacular Camp
on the Buff" Black Hawk. in his famous
war, pitched camp at Hemdoka, and when
Mr.. Babbitt took up his farm there the
ashes of the Indian camp fires were plainly
to be seen. Hemdoka farm is famous for
Its owners hospitality, as we'll as Its tine
stock and sound Democratic doctrine. For
thirty-tve years Congressman Rabbit has
been regular campalgner. In the Green-
back craze of 1873 he bolted the fusion
ticket put up by Democrats and
Greenbackers and saved the honor
of his party in the district. Several
times after that he was the Democratic
standard bearer against an overwhelming
Republican majority. He Is the only
Democrat who ever carried the district in
square fight. James Z. Doolttle, bril-
liant and able as he is, tried repeatedly to
do so and failed. Mr.. Rabbit is identified
with the Villas wing of the Wisconsin
Democracy, although he is too popular
with the whole party to be shut out from
any part of it. He has believed in Col.
Villas ability and sincerity, and has had
an abiding faith for fifteen years in his
ultimate victory over the Republican ring
in the Badger state. The triumphant sue
cesses of the party IN 1890 and 1892 gave
him strong claim to the honor
and satisfaction of prophet. Whether
he will go into Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet
or not will be known in sixty days. 1t is
said that Mr.. Hatch. of Missouri, prefers
to stay in congress and is not candidate,
and Col. Villas, who has been mentioned
for three or four places in the next cabi-
net, is willing TO make himself famous in
the senate. where he can be quite as use
full to the next president as in any other
that affect Mr.. Rabbits chances, and in
the final fitting of pegs to holes he is likely
to be asked to take the agricultural port

PORTLAND, Jan. 15.-A wood train on the
Portland & Willamette Valley railroad,
narrow gauge. met with a serious accident
this afternoon near Oswego, twelve miles
south OF this city, which resulted in the in
jury of sixteen persons. Every one on board
except Conductor Kennedy and Engineer
Miller was hurt, several seriously and
two probably fatally. The train con-
sisted of the engine and caboose
and twenty-four fat cars. Seven dat
cars were between the locomotive
and the caboose and the remainder
behind. There were seventeen men in the
caboose. While going round a curve and
approaching a trestle the engineer saw
large tree across the track, but realized
that he could not stop in time, so he
shut off steam and jumped. The
conductor, who was on the engine, fol-
lowed him. The engine struck the tree,
and was thrown from the track, falling
about fifteen feet off the trestle. Seven
fat cars and the caboose also went of, the
latter being badly smashed.
All the passengers were shaken up more
or less, and Raphael Cowtze was probably
fatally injured. Fireman John Hoben-
leitner was caught under the engine and
scalded. He also received internal in
juries and may die.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-A morning paper
prints two-column article from Wash
ington City correspondent commissioned
to make inquiries concerning the unlawful
spoliation of graves in the interest of sur.
gical science almost within the shadow of
the capitol building. The correspondent
states that the burial places were desecated
by ruffians whose audacity has no parallel
even in the records OF the loathsome call
ing which they adopted. The raethod of
operating, graphically told. with sketches
of the tools employed, forms part of the
story. The correspondent in Els state
ment as to how he secured the evidence
Of body-snatching, saws:
One man was sent at ii O'Clock EAST night
to favorable point overlooking: the con-
gressional cemetery, one man to Glenwood
and one man to the potter's ileld. An
other watcher was placed where he could
observe the entry to the Column
bian University Medical college,
and another IN similar: position
near the Georgetown college. These in
stitutions are greatly in need of subjects
At 1890 a. m. the watchers at the potter's
field saw canvass-covered wag0n-box on
