ONE of the most important PROPOSE
tions submitted to congress was present
ed to the House in Washington last week
by Representative Boatner, of louisiana
The proposition recites numerous defaults
OF the Union Pacific Railroad and CON
tinuous lines to meet the debt to the
United States. 1t charges the present
directors of the railroad with a violation
of their trust and improper absorption of
outside lines, and the voting of dividends
contrary to law and against the interests
of the United States.
1t directs in the form of a Joint reso-
luton, that the President shall appoint
special counsel to institute suit against
the present and past directors, their
heirs and legal representatives, to collect
$50, 600, 900 and interest due the United
States. With interest, the amount in
litigation would exceed $40, 900, 900. 1t
would be the largest suit ever instituted
in this country. By the terms of the
resolution, the department of Justice
would be relieved from further action
in the Union Pacific cases, and the suit
would be prosecuted by special counsel
as a special case. The Joint resolution
places 800, 900 at the disposal of the
President for the employment of counsel.

A Fathers Terrible Discovery.

LONDON, March l9.-The Standards S
Buda Pesth correspondent says: {. The
Nemzet prints the following: Felix
Steiner divorced his wife in 1873. They
had only one child, l yearold daugh-
ter Her name was changed and she
went to New YoIk, where she found a
situation in Hungarian family. She
was often sent to near by shop, which
was owned by Steiner, whom she did
not know. Eventually, after chatting
and courting, they were married happily
and had one child. They desired to re-
turn to Hungary and search for their
relations. They returned to Miskoles.
Steiner made inquiries and was astOund-
ed by the discovery that his second
wife was his own daughter. He wrote
that his wife should return tn New York
with the child. Steiner has not been
heard of since and it is believed that he
has committed suicide. His wife is en-
route to America, and does not know the
facts. She believes her husband has
been detained on business.

DUNKIRK, n. Y, March IA
shocking tragedy occurred o-day in the
state normal school at Fredonia in which
a pre- ceptreSs lost her life. At
IL 80 Miss Richardson was found dead
in an elevator crushed against the third
floor.
From appearances it is believed that
she was intending to go from the second
floor to the third, and that she started
the elevator herself and stopped it after
wards, as she was accustomed to, but
that her dress caught on the grating and
held her back so that she had only
placed one foot in the elevator when it
sped upwards, dragging her between the
grating and the elevator until she struck
the floor. Her neck was broken, also
her back, ribs, collar bone and arms.
The deceased was a graduate of the
school and had been a teacher in it for
20 years.

Saved by Jumping.

CHICAGO, March 2I-The four story
public school building in South Evans
ton, thirteen miles north of this city,
caught fire from some mysterious cause
shortly before noon to-day and was COM
pletely destroyed. Seven of the panic
stricken pupils, surrounded by smoke and
fire, took the desperate chance of Jump
ing from the third and fourth story
windows to escape what seemed to be
certain death, and were severely, but
probably not fatally injured. The re-
mainder of the children, who retained
enough composure to listen to the plead
ings of their teachers and the firemen,
were marched through the thickening
smoke to fresh air and safety. The loss
on the building is $500

A Double Tragedy.

SANFRANCIsCo, March 1S.-A murder
and suicide occurred this morning in the
Church of the Immaculate Conception
at Oakland while the Congregation was
present. John Bradley, house painter,
shot and killed his wife. Mary, while she
was telling her beads in front of the al
tar. Then he turned the revolver on
himself and put bullet in his brain.
The murdered woman had just been di
vorced from him because of his dissolute
habits. Six chilhren are left. Bradley
had frequently threatened to take her
life since she obtained a divorce. The
murderer body presented a shocking
sight and blood and bits of flesh were
scattered around as if the sacred place
had been turned into "A slaughter house
The mans friends say he was crank
and had became "A maniac on account of
his wife's separation from him.

THE month of March has thus far
played havoc with the regulations of
weather prophets of both high and low
degree. Usually a weather prophet or
an almanac in predicting stormy weath~
er at 4 certain date in March cannot miss
1T 10y more than a day or two, but this
year the month mas given them all the
slip and has been remarkable for its gen
tie and balmy weather. Wonder if fear
for the tariff has not had something to
with taking the aggressiveness out of the
bustry month.

FRANCIS f. BrownelI, historic char
acter of the late war, died in Washing
ton on Tuesday. Mr.. Brownell was a
private in the Ellsworth fire zuaves of
New York city, and was with that COM
pany when it went to Alexandria, Va,
the day after the ordinance of secession
was passed by that state. When the or
dinance was passed Mr.. Jackson, the
proprietor of the Marshall house in Alex
andria, hoisted the confederate flag over
the building. Captain Ellsworth, on
reaching the city, noticed the flag, went
to the hotel, and hauled it down. When
on the stairway he was shot dead by
Jackson, who, in turn, was promptly
skpt and killed by Brownell. He was for
many years special examiner of the
pension office, and was holding that po-
sition at the time of his death.

TIE Philadelphia Times tells the story
when it says. AT % cents per ounce,
the price in the market to day, the silver
bullion in the treasury is worth less than
Sl20, 900, 900. This bullion is all the
government has to show for due bills to
the amount of 500, 900, 600 which the
treasury has issued to tho sellers from
whom the silver was purchased. This is
another legacy of the Harrison adminis-
tration to be counted with the bankrupt
treasury, the squandered surplus and the
Mckinley revenue system which precip-
itated deficiency between government
receipts end expenditures Yet at the
late election tens of thousands voted the
Democratic party responsible for this
whole budget of evils, in the creation of
which it had no more to do as party
than 1T has to do with home rule in the
British parliament. 1t is purely and ex-
clusively a reminder of the Republican
way of doing things in the way OF grand
larceny"

Lovers swung of Together.

Rose HILL, IA. March 20.-The bodies
or John Reed and Eta Shaw were found
last evening hanging to IA tree, the couple
having committed suicide. The cause
assigned was the fact that the dead
couples parents opposed their marriage
because of their youth. The girl was
but sixteen and Reed year older. The
deed was probably committed Sunday
night, when they were last seen driving
in the neighborhood. They evidently
unhi tched the horse, and standing in
the buggy threw a rope across limb
and tying one end to each of their necks
swung off into eternity.

The senate, says the Philadelphia
Record, has kept the tariff bill under
consideration in committee a longer
time than was found necessary on the
part of the House to prepare and perfect
the bill and pass it. This delay might
have been bourne with patience, not
withstanding the grievous need of ac-
ton, if the effort of the senate had been
effectual to improve the bill. But it has
been botched in many important partic-
ulars, and improved in only one. The
ineffective revenue measure without the
income tax attachment. The senate has
provided for sufficient revenue from
customs by placing duty on sugar, but
has failed to strike out the income tax.
1t is impossible to say Offhand whether
the senate sugar schedule does or does
not give too large an advantage to the
retiner; but there is no question that a
sugar duty offers the easy, fair and prop
er way to meet the exigent demand for
revenue. So far the senate is right; but
for all the rest of its work, except in cor
rective clerical detail, it is mad wrong
and in opposition to the expressed will
of the people. Whether the influences
which have led to the behind. the door
changes in the Wilson bill will be strong
enough to bear up under the test of open
debate is doubtful. If the bill should
pass in substantially the shape in which
it has come from the finance committee
It will lead to n prolonged conflict he
tween the Houses. 1t is evident that
for months to come the suspense which
has inflicted damage upon the business
of the country is to continue unrelieved.
