MANNED IN A sLRRpRR,

Four Persons Seriously Injured In q
Rear End Collision at Harrisburg.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 21.-A repetition
of the awful Dock street accident on the
Pennsylvania railroad in this city last sum-
mer, occurred at Docklow, the first station
east Of Steelton, this morning about
O'Clock. The fast line east, which leaves
here at 3:45 O'Clock. stopped on the block to
repair the air brake which was out OF
order, when the second section crashed into
the rear, demolishing the Williamsport
sleeper, In which were four passengers. The
car caught fire from the locomotive Of the
second section and was partially destroyed.
Prof. Henry w. Rolfe, assistant profess
sor Of English literature in the University
Of Pennsylvania, was seriously hurt.
Arthur A. Stern, a wholesale jeweler of
New York, was injured about the hips.
Two others were also hurt.
Prof, Rolfe was doubled up between the
upper and lower berths and was almost
suffocased by the escaping steam. MIR.
Stern climbed through the window with
nothing to protect him from the bitter cold
but an undershirt. u is said that the
operator at Steelton is responsible for the
accident for allowing the second section to
enter the block before the firt section had
left 1t. All the physicians in the city were
aroused, the first report being that eighteen
were killed and many injured.
Eight passengers were injured. All ex-
cept Rolfe and Stern proceeded to their
destination on a special train with other
belated passengers. The Steelton operator
has admitted his carelessness in allowing
the second section to enter the block.

CATTLE MEN DISCHARGED.

The County Conducting the Prosecu-
ton Unwilling to Spend More Money.
CHRYENNE, WYo. Jan. 21.-The cases OF
the cattle men, who some months ago In
vaded johnson county FOR the purpose OF
exterminating the socalled rustlers. or cat
tie thieves. aud in the attempt killed two
men named Champion and Rae
and burned several buildings, and
the settlers, and only escaped with their
lives by the aid Of United States troops,
were to-day thrown out of court. The
twenty-three defendants who appeared for
trial. have been discharged. A motion for
dismissal was entered by Mr.. Bennett, the
peoples attorney for Johnson county, and
allowed.
CAUSE OF THE COLLAPSE.
The ending so long anticipated was
of this county. He produced nearly 1000
tslesmen and said he could find no
more in town; that he had no
guarantee OF expense. could not get
il from the johnson county people and
he did not care to furnish funds to summon
venire men from the country. In open court
this grievance was laid before the proseout-
ing attorney, Mr.. Bennett, who agreed to
dismissal, as he said he had no idea that
conviction could be obtained.
AN EXPENSIVE AFFAIR.
This affair has involved an expenditure
on both sides Of about $500, 200. 1t has
kept the state in ferment for nine months.
From johnson county comes report that
really bad men have emigrated and at the
last term of court in that county several
cattle thieves were convicted. The men
discharged to-day have been among
the ggIprominent citizens OF the
state but a number of them must leave, so
strong is the resentment against them.
Scarcely one OF them who has property in
the north has looked at IT since last April.
Two of the Texans who were hired to do
the killing IN johnson county died on the
trip and two OF them have since been killed
in the southern country.

A FIGHT OVER M'COMAS.
THE DEMOCRATS WILL TRY TO
PREVENT CONFIRMATION.

Their Action Taken in Revenge for

Years sAgo-Republicsns Protest.
WASHINGTON, Jan. s1.-The nomination
Of Louis e. MoComas Of Maryland to be
judge for the District of Columbia was
called up to-day in executive session, but
final action was not taken. The Senate
was in secret session little more than an
hour. during which time q couple of United
States consuls and two postmasters were
confirmed. When the nomination Of Mr..
McComas was called up a rather stormy
time ensued. 1t had been claimed that
both Senators German and Gibson would
offer no objection to the confirmation, but
this is not borne out by the proceedings of
the last session, when 1t is said Senator
German declared himself against the cons
firmation. Senator Voorhees, ia equally
well grounded in his opposition.
A LIVELY DEBATE.
The debate was quite lively for time
and a number of democratic senators ad-
mitted that the situation had resolved it.
self into a piece of political retaliation.
They recalled the fact that during the clos
ing days of the last administration Cleve-
land had nominated the present Vice Presi-
dent-elect for this identical Office and that
the republicans had held it up. This was
their opportunity to get even and some Of
the senator's were not backward in express
ing their intention Of doing SO if IL were
within the range Of possibilities. This oon-
tention was controverted by the republicans
who asserted that the conditions were not
similar and that the position taken by the

KENNA's ESTATE SMALL.

The Postmastership at Charleston, w.
Va, Msy Be Given His Widow.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The late Sem
ator Kenna was not money maker. He
had a considerable income from his law
practice besides his senatorial salary. but
he lived generously and saved little. For
the past two years, owing to his illness, he
was able TO do very little profession work,
so that while his expenses increased his in
come decreased. He died leaving his wife
and Six children, all young, little besides his
house on Capitol hill, which had not been
fully paid for. and $40. 900 life insurance.
The S., 900 which the Senate will probably
vote his widow will hardly do more
than pay the bills for medical attendance
aud medicine and nursing during his long
illness. Itis therefore proposed by bis sur
viving colleagues in congress to recommend
to Mr.. Cleveland the appointment Of Mrs.
Kenna as postmaster at Charleston, w.
Va, where the salary is 81 500. Ii is be-
lieyed that Mr.. Cleveland, who had high
regard for Senator Kenna, will willingly
make the appointment.

AN AMRRIcUs BANK FAILS.
It's Embarrassment the Result OF the
sam Roads Troubles.


sam Roads Troubles.
AMERIoUs, Jan. 21.-The Bank OF Ameri-
Gus, the Oldest banking institution in the
city. suspended payment yesterday. When
the fact became known on the streets about
10 O'clock the news went from mouth to
mouth with mingled feelings Of surprise
and regret.
Very hstle as to the actual condition Of
affairs is obtainable. az b. NJ. Campbell
the cashier, is in New York In the interest
OF the financial affairs OF the bank. The
failure is attributed TO the placing
of the Sam road in the hands
or a receiver, as the bank
was very closely allied with the building and
management Of that road, Col s. H.
Hawkins being president of the bank and
Of the road. The charter makes every
stockholder individually liable for the debts
OF the bank, and as some Of the stockholders
are wealthy ID is believed that all depositors
and others holding claims against the bank
will be paid in full. The amount of deposits
will not be much over $4,000.
STATE, CITY AND COUNTY FUNDS.
ID being a state depository about 5000
Of this amount is state funds, there was also
about 81 800 OF county funds, and the city
had on deposit Sl5,S91 10. A few creditors
yesterday afternoon applied to Judge Fish
for a temporary receiver He appointed
w. a. Dodson, junior member of the law
firm of james Dodson 81 Son. The hearing
for permanent receiver is set for Feb. 4.
The capital stock In Sl5O,O00 For several
years the bank has not made
any advances to farmers, con-
fininR its operations to merchants
and railroad enterprises. The immediate
cause OF the failure is reported to be the
large amount of Indebtedness of the Sam
road held by the bank. 1t is reported that
the bank is amply secured by bonds OF the
road, and will DO able to protect all parties
at interest. 1t is further asserted that the
doors Of the bank would not have been
closed yesterday but for the telegraph
blockade. While people feel that the sus-
pension will be temporary, the failure 10 the

Hardeman to-day contradicts. the
statement mada in dispatches pub.
lished here this morning from
Americus that the bank which suspended

stated that the bank of Americus has never
had so much of GeorRia's money on deposit
at any one time since it became state de-
pository. The highest amount it has
In its possession is S27, 900. When
1t failed instead OF $50 ,00C
1t had just S21 n, as the books In the treas
ury Office show. Treasurer Hardeman ex.
planned that last fall he became dissatisfied
with the condition Of the Americus bank
and took stops to investigate. The showing
made did not satisfy his mind and he began
drawing out the states money. At the
time the investigation begun, the state had d
$4,000 on deposit there. which was re
duced. as stated, until when the doors were
closed only a fraction over $40 remained.
