a Gtrl's Sad Fate.

Cincinnati, Jan. 16.-Capt. Gr1 1nan,
CHEF of the Grammar Detective bureau,
this city, has received word from a rep
Preventative at Caneville, KY, giving
meager details of Whitechapel horror
at that place. A woman of suspicious
character named Mortier had in her
hcme beautiful daughter of seventeen.
Il was admitted that the girl was pure.
A number of her mothers male visitors
attempted her ruin, but the girl resisted
them, although it was understood her
mother did nothing to protect her. Some
weeks ago she died and was buried. A
few days ago the better class of people
had the remains exhumed, when it was
found the girls neck was broken and he1
ribs smashed IN and her intestines mu.
tilated. Other indignities, too disgusting
to be described had been offered the
body. Abe Higgins and the girls mother
are under arrest and may have been
lynched by this time.

IN literature at Newport, r. l., till 1878,
and afterward at Cambridge, Mass,
where he has since resided. He was a
member of the Massachusetts legisla-
ture in 1880 and 1881, serving as chief
Of staff to the governor during the same
time, and in 1888 was a member
Of the state board Of education. He has
contributed largely to current literature,
but in conversation recently with a
writer for the Boston Globe regretted
that he had accomplished so little in
comparison with what when a youth
he had hoped to do. ION the whole"
said Mr. Higginson, "now that I find
myself almost 20 years old, at a time
which most people seem to regard as
an epoch in my life. although it does
not seem so to me, am, to be sure, dis
satisfied with the little I have accom-
plished, and yet look back on my life
with certain degree of satisfaction"

Berlin, Jan. 16-Advices received here
from st. Petersburg say that the French
rclice have sent communication to the
Russian police stating that number of
revolutionary documents were ,siezed by
police of the different towns of France
during the recent anarchist raids which
followed the explosion of Vailant's bomb
in the chamber of deputies. These docu-
ments are said to compromise a number
of Russians residing at st. Petersburg
and in other parts Of Russia. AS a re-
suit of these communications the Rus
sian police are said. to have made a
series of domicilitary visits and have ar
rested a number of nihilists. It is also
said that many Russians of all classes
are now Swallowed by the police and that
the documents fclnd in France are be-
lieved to have pointed out a plot involv-
ing attempts upon the lives of the i'm
perial family on New Years day.

ROLLING ACROSS THE OCEAN.
The Curious Craft Proposed by

The Curious Craft Proposed by q
French Engineer.
In these days of revolutionary prot
ects in matters mechanical and scient-
fic, unusual engineering exploits have
lost much Of their tendency to create
SURPRISE Still that sensation may be
produced in a mild degree by the latest
scheme of ocean transportation which
has reached us from France, and which
has M. Balm, not unknown in engineer
ing circles, for it's author NJ. Balm
proposes, in brief, to build an Atlantic
liner on eight rollers, with view Of
securing speed much higher than any
thus far attained, arguing that the
wheels or rollers on which the vessel
is to rest will so greatly diminish the
resistance offered by the waves that
80 knots an hour will be easily within
the bounds of possibility, and will ena-
BILE the passage from Southampton or
Liverpool to New York to be made in
four days. The rollers are to enter the
water to depth Of about twenty-six
feet, and revolve within a platform
placed about twenty-four feet above
the water, so that there will be a roll
ing instead Of a gliding body, as is the
case in ordinary ships. The rollers pre-
srlnably are to be worked by engines
to secure propulsion. NJ. Balm claims
to have settled by experiment that the
stability of the roller type of vessel
is at least as great as that Of the ordi'
nary type, and believes that the con-
! struction Of his design of ship will be
much less costly than that Of the usual
description. According to French re-.
port, it is proposed to put M. Bazin's
plans to practical test by constructing

Co1Orado's Deadlock.

Deliver, Jan. 16.-The senate met at 2
o'clock, and after approving Saturdays
journal adjourned until Wednesday by a
vote of II to 6. In the house twenty
six bills have been introduced. The
house took a recess until to-day. Both
sides will hold a caucus some time to-
day, but so far as could be learned each
side remains steadfastly resolved to pro-
coed on the lines laid down, that is, the
majority will continue to move for re-
cesses from time to time and consider no
bills whatever, and the minority will
vote against such action with the hope
of gaining several senator's in favor of
adjournment over to their side

DairyInen Meet.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Twelve states were
represented by $50 delegates when the
dairymen's convention was finally called
to order to-day. D. w. Wilson Of Elgin,
in opening the meeting, said that the ne
cessity was great for protective associa-
tons to secure legislation to prevent the
fraudulent sale of substitutes for butter
and to encourage increased and more
economical production of high grade
dairy products. Several leaders in cleo
margarine were present and a hot de-
batet resulted over their right to be ad.
mitted to the meeting. They explained
that they were sinners come to repent
ance and were allowed to remain. Sec
rotary Wilson in a speech declared that
the dairymen of the country did an an
ual business of $3OO,OOO,OOO, and crit
cised Secretary of Agriculture Morton fol

Another SDOutcr.

Huron, S. D.. Jan. 16.-The Huron
Water Works company has contracted
for another artesian veil, to be used for
power purposes. It will be put down by
E. A. Swan near the river, and will be
an eight-inch bore from top to bottom,
cased with the best non-corrosive pipe.
The depth agreed upon is 1,O5O feet, with
the privilege accorded the company of
going 200 feet additional if deemed ad-
visable and granite is not struck. This
will be the largest and deepest well in
this part of the country. It is expected
to outrival the great Risdon we'll north
east of the city, which has attracted the
attention of the whole world. Work on
tn. new well will begin as soon as the
machinery can be put in place.

man dem. Ind.) conferred as to the
proposition which would be submitted to
congress for the solution of the Hawaiian
problem. After the talk MIR. McCreary
said: ''The solution to the question will
undoubtedly be ready to submit to the
house on or before Jan. &c." Repre-
sentative Holman said: II will not pre-
sent my Hawaiian resolution pending my
talks with Mr.. McCreary, for the mem
bers Of the foreign affairs committee are
acting very fairly in trying to solve the
problem. One thing is certain, that the
question of restoring Liliuokalani to the
throne is for all time abandoned, not on. ~
in executive, but in congressional circles

Had IL Nightmare.

st. Paul, Jan. 17.-Lieut. David Burke,
Of Hook and Ladder, Truck No. 2, met
with an accident which came very near
proving fatal. About o'clock he sprang
out of bed in the dormitory and fell
down the chute through which the men
slide to tibet lower floor when responding
to an alarm. He struck on his right
hip and bruised himself so severely as to
paralyze that side Of his body. 1t was a
straight fall of fourteen feet to floor
as hard as stone, and the wonder is that
some bones were not broken. Immedi-
ately aftetr the fall he was taken up
stairs and a physician called, who dressed
the wounds and left him feeling better
about noo1, though he was still very sore
and unable to move his right limb. The
injured man is unable to explain just
how he came to get out of bed and fall,
but it was probably the result of night
mare.

sengers Killed and About Forty
Injured, Some Of Them Fatally.

Hoboken, N. J., Jan. 16.-About two
niles from Hoboken end few hundred
feet from the draw bridge across the
Hackensack river the Orange accom-
mediation crashed into the rear of the
Dover express on the Morris & Essex
brarch of the Delaware, Lackawanna q
Western railroad. The scene of the &C
cidcDt was on the long meadows through
which flows the Hackensack> river. At
least II lives paid the penalty of some
ones carelessness and the list of known
injured is thirty-sev en-, some of whom
will probably die. So far as learned,
one cause OF the accident was the heavy
fog which prevailed. Both trains We're
well filled with passengers on their way
to their daily avocations, and it seems a
miracle that the death list was not in
creased many fold. The Dover express
had slowed up to make sure that the
draw bridge was all right. The Orange
accommodation engineer, who should
have done likewise, failed to take this
precaution and crashed into the rear OF
this train. The last car on the express
was combination baggage and smoker,
and into this plunged the huge engine,
cutting through the wood work and send
ing splinters in all directions with q
force that showed the tremendous speed
ut which the train was travelling. The
coach ahead of the smoker was telescoprd
ty it, the roof torn out and the seats
torn and twisted as though they were
made of paper. The roof was thrown
! ahead and partially telescoped the third
! For a moment the passel gers did not
realize the awful situation, but in the
next the shrieks of the wounded and
| dying and the noise of escaping steam
told them that an awful calamity had
occurred. Those who were not Injured
were quickly at work rescuing their less
| fortunate fellow passengers.
The most authentic accounts show II
killed, while the injured number thirty
seven. The dead are as follows:

Fred Is Not Guilty.

Minneapolis, Jan. 16.-Fred Chamber
lain is not guilty. That decision was ar
rived at by the jury this morning after
having been out since Saturday morning.
The twelve men looked tired, having had
a hard siege. The verdict disposes of the
charge of robbery, but there still re-
mains an indictment for assault, the trial
of which the county attorney allows to
go over the term. There is some specu-
lation as to whether the state will try
the robbery case against Vine dublin.
The state insists that it will go to trial,
but will be continued. She was not
present, but was sent for to have her
case set. When she came in the case
against her was allowed to go over til
the next term of court.

Bad for IndiarapOlis,

Indianapolis, Jan. 16.-Judge Baker, Of
the United States circuit court has is
sued a restraining order against the city
of Indianapolis, and Beverly Porter, Il
local contractor, to prevent the collection
of an assessment for street improve
ments levied against the estate of Cath
crime Bobbs of Harrisburg, Pa. The re-
straining order holds virtually that the
present charter under which the city of
Indianapolis operates Is unconstitutional.
1t is probable that the case will be car
ried to the United States supreme court.
The ruling has caused sensation, and
if sustained will overthrow the city's
