ALBANY, Jan. 3.-SurrounGed by the clergy of the city after the last sacraments had been administered, Right Rev. Francis McNeirny, bishop of Albany, died. A sol umn mortuary peal from the tower of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception announced the tidings of death, and all Albany, without respect to creed, mourns the loss of the dead prelate. Vicar General T. M. A. Burke administered the last rites Sixty-five peals from the cathedral chimes announced the sad news
 Bishop McNeirny rendered a reception to the choir of the cathedral on Christmas day, as was his custom, and at that time he complained of cold. At the afternoon vespers he was unable to be present, and the next day pneumonia set in.
 Tuesday afternoon Drs. Vandevere, Ward and Mcdonald had a consultation, at the close of which they announced that they feared the worst. Typhoid had set in, and he was sinking rapidly. His spirit passed away while the prayers for the dead were being recited by the l5 or 20 clergy present at the bedside.
 He was made administrator of the AL bany diocese on Jan. 1, 1874, and on Oct 16 1877, Bishop Conroy resigning, he was declared titular bishop.
 Bishop McNeirny's high intellectual ac- complishments were known throughout the state, and at the last session of the legislature he was chosen a member of the state board of regents.

ROASTED IN THE WRECK.
Three Victims of a smashup on the Unao
 Pacific BuPned to Death.


 KANSAS Cry, Jan s.-Thres men were killed, four serioualy injured an9 degea slightly huyt in wreck en tbe URi4p %a- cifc railway near Linveoa, KaA., 8 niles west of Kansas City. Yhs wreck was caused by a freight train running iate tAs rear end of mixed freight and paassaGSt train
 Fire caught from the stoves, and befors the dead could be removed the eafA were enveloped in flames The flames spread so rapidly that the men under the debris of the caboose aNd passenger coach could not be reached. Faint and piteous calls for help were heard but the men who had been saved were powerless to aid the poor fellows, and soon their cries ceased. To have ventured into the burning wreck would have been certain death. The un- fortunate men whom the passengers heard but could not help were Conductor At wood and Hermann Smize, stockman of Clay Center, and Stockman Martin of Wakefield, Kan. Conductor Atwood was frightfully burned, and his body was not reached for several hours. The bodies of the other men were burned to a crisp.
 The Rock Island conductor notified the Union Pacific officials here at once, and General Superintendent A. T. Palmer took a special train with surgeons and wreck ing crew to the wreck. The relief train re- turned to Kansas City, Kan, with the ip- jured, and they were taken to St. Mary g hospital.

THE PHILOSOPHER.

People are so much alike they should be better friends.
 There is one thing about a surprise party the men are invited.
 Every one hates the man who always thinks he is being robbed.
 There is a good deal of nonsense in the world and brisk demand for it.
 We always watch man who groans a great deal about the sins of others.
 Many of the devils trusted agents are re- formers and professional good men.
 A man can talk himself out of a job cas- fer than he can talk himself into one
 Many people would be more truthful but for their uncomfortable desire to talk.
 Some men who state that they have noth- ing to say do surprising lot of talking.
 There is not only a soft spot in every mans heart, but there is also one in his head.
 The people who wish they were dead are awfully careful, we have noticed, of what they eat.
 A man is as tragic in his thoughts as Shakespeare and as halting in his actions as a poor naturalization Globe.

The Hawaiian Iu0biry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The committee on Hawaiian inquiry examined two wit nesses. The first was Mir. M. F. Jones, who has large business interests in the is- lands. Mir. Jones was before the commit tee for about two hours, and when he emerged from the committee room went direct to railroad office, where he pur- chased a ticket for San Francisco, for which point he left upon his return to Hawaii. He declined, because he had been sworn to secrecy by the committee, to di- vulge the proceedings, but he stated that his sympathies had all been with the Dole party, and he had acted as 8 member of the executive council of four during the revo- lution and for two months after. The aft ernoon was devoted to taking the testi- mony of z. S. Spaulding, who has been 8 resident of Hawaii for the past 26 years and is one of the largest sugar planters on the islands. He was induced by the friends of the provisional government to come to Washington for the purpose of adding his testimony in favor of the present form of government.

 CAME TO LIFE.
Supposed Murdered Man Revives and
 Tells His Name.

COMPTON, N. J., Jan 3-The supposed murdered man whose body was brought to this place Tuesday night by Professor Al bert Robinson of Paterson proves to be James West, peddler who lived at Black Oak ridge, on the Preakness mountain road, about five miles from here. The mans features were disfgured beyond rec ognition, and his body was horribly cut from his waist upward.
 Everybody in the Norton House, where the body was taken, thought the man was dead. Dr. w. s. Colfax. was called in, and after he had labored for several hours there was discovered slight sign of life in the supposed corpse.
 The man finally recovered sufficiently to gives his name. Although West was well known to everybody ill Compton, his in juries had 50 disfgured Jim that no one had suspected his identity until he told his name. When West recovered conscious ness, he was so weak that he was unable to talk much. All that could be learned from him was that he was on his way home on Monday night when some one assaulted him from behind. He had no recollection seemingly of anything after that. West was removed to his home in the mountains. It was reported later that West was sink ing slowly and could not live, as his condi- tion was very critical. The authorities have no clew to Vests assailants.

Two Attempts Made to Kill the Prosecut-
 ing Attorney In the Coughiin Case.
 CHICAGO, Jan. g. -Kickham Scanlan, who is the most energetic lawyer on the part of the prosecution in the Coughlin case, has escaped two attempts upon his life since the trial began. These two at tempts were made while Mir. Scanlan was living at i548 West Adams street.
 The first time Mir. Scanlan was poisoned was the evening of the day he made his opening speech to the jury. That night he and his wife ate dinner at 6 o'clock, their usual hour. Half an hour after leaving the table Mir. Scanlan was seized with vio- lent pains, which almost threw him into convulsions His wife was also affected.
 Plain symptoms of arsenical poison were present in both cases, but prompt medical assistance prevented any more serious re. suit than severe headache the next day.
 Mir. Scanlan ioked his wife that night at dinner about their illness and seemed to think no more about it. Within half an hour after dinner both he and his wife were again taken with violent pains, the symptoms of arsenical poisoning being more prominent than on the night before. The physician who was called had some little difficult in getting them out of dan- ger, and then he advised them that some thing must be done to stop further at tempts of the same kipd. The police have strong suspicious as to who doctored the food, but at Mir. Scanlanss solicitation have made no arrests.

THE obvious duty of every man as he starts in the year is to pay his debts if be has any and has the money to pay with. Let some of the unnecessary things of life 90 but settle up that account with your creditor if you possibly can. It will en- able him to settle with his creditor and the hard times will be materially softened. A man can't begin this year with any sort of self respect if he owes dollar in the world and has dollar to pay that debt with and doesn't apply it to its natural and just use.
