Mnjor General.
WAsHGNCToN, April 15.-Much interest
is felt III the approaching appointments
of major general and brigadier gen
eral, as consequence of the retirement
OF Major General McCook, on April %.
1t is generally conceded in army circles
that Brigadier General Wesley Merritt,
commanding the Department of Dakota.
with headquarters at st. Paul, will be
the next major general. There is moth
ing, however, to prevent the selection of
General Brooke, General Wheaton, Cen
eral Otis or General Forsyth, All are of
the same grade, and each has a very
good record.
General Merritt ls the senior in rank,
and is regarded as having special claim
for perferment.

CAUGHT IN A CANE-IN.

o. X. Olson Nearly Loses His Life in !.
Sewer Cavern Monday.
An accident which may yet be serious
and certainly came near being fatal oc.
Cured Monday afternoon on the South
side The city engineer has been repair
ing the sewer in the alley back of the
Milwaukee beer hall. If had been well
shored up as the excavation was made
but yesterday afternoon one of those ac
cidents which cannot be foreseen oc-
CURED and large cave-in happenedwhile
three men were working in tn ditch
Warning was given them in time for
them to have all escaped, but O. X
Olson, who has been particularly reck-
less in the past in this respect, failed to
heed it and WAS buried up to
his neck by the slide. He was
dug out as quickly as possible and
where Drs. Gordon and Ferguson were
called to attend him. The extent of HE
injuries cannot yet be definitely ascer-
tanned but it is hoped no serious results
will follow. Mr.. Olson is an old sewer
man and long familiarity with danger
has with him bred contempt He has
been reprimanded repeatedly by the city
engineer for taking chances. and only a
week ago got caught in cavern after
he had been ordered out of the ditch by
the city engineer 1t was not very
serious one but he had to be dug out.
The city engineer incensed at his reck-
lessness ordered him discharged last
Friday, and was only induced to let him
go to work again yesterday morning by
his appeal for work on account Of his
family and promise to be more guarded
in the future and obey instructions as to
keeping out Of bitches till they were
shored up.

Merrimac River Has Turned Loose "A
Flood.
CONCORD, n. H., April l5.-The Mer-
rimac river is higher here than in 20
years. At s a. m. it flowed across the
street over the bank which % years ago
was covered by a flood. The water ie
still rising at the rate Of 10 inches an
hour. All trains on the Northern di-
vision of the Concord & Montreal and
Concord & Claremont have been can
celled. Washouts are reported at Kelly
vile, Mount Sunape, East Andover,
Danbury and Kannon. At the latter
place 100 carloads of gravel will be re-
quired to fill in along the road bed
Trains on the Peterborough & Hills
borough have experienced little trouble
Bridges at Penecock are in danger and
may 60 out. The basement of the Con-
cord & Montreal repair shop is flooded,
and they must shut down. A large
amount of drift wood and wreckage is
coming down the river. The rain has
ceased. but the sky is threatening. The
flood is the biggest since the memorable
one of 1869, and the property loss is con
siderable,

Saturday last the Montana society of
civil engineers held its monthly session
and Engineer j. IL. Farmer read an in.
teresting paper on electricity vs. steam
for manufactures. The point of the pa
per was the startling information that
electricity ia the cheaper and that all
that Helena needed to secure it was to
build a dam across the Missouri at
Stubs ferry. The gentleman also pre-
sented some figures to show that if the
dam is built power can be furnished to
those who need it at SlG.78 per horse
power per year, and that in few years
ae much Us iOOO horse power will be
needed in Helena. These statements
are supplemented with the conclusion
that sit seems strange that capitalists
should hesitate with a project which
promises such large returns
A vote OF thanks was extended the
scientific gentleman for his Information
aud now that the capitalists know all
about it and how much there is in it
look out for the filing of articles of incor.
poration of the Stubbs' Ferry Electric
Power company within the next few
days. 1t is soft snap, and cannot be
overlooked.

IT IS DIPLOMATIC
So Statesmen Regard Nicaragua's

Issued Seven Weeks Ago.

1t Is so Pacifying That 1t Is Believed

WARRINGTON, April l5--It is reliably
stated that Nicaragua has replied to
Great Britain's ultimatum. 1t is in the
nature of counter proposal and is not a
direct acceptance or rejection of the
British demands, and as such it is not
yet known whether Great Britain will
accept 1t as responsive to her ultimatum,
which made these demands:
First-A money indemnity of ,Cl5,OO0
sterling, for alleged personal injuries to
British subjects, including British Con-
sui Hatch. Second--A revocation OF the
declaration of banishment against said
subjects. Third-The formation of a
commission to decide by arbitration the
damage done to property of British sub
ects expelled from Nicaragua.
The ultimatum contained no limit OF
time. but in a subsequent note the Earl
of Kimberley stated the answer to the
ultimatum would be expected within
seven weeks after February 2G. The
seven weeks are up tomorrow and Mica

that Nicaragua, even before receiving the
British communication, had revoked the
decree of banishment 10 the first and

There was highly sensational and ro-
mantle elopement from this city this

There was a highly sensational and ro-
mantle elopement from this city this
evening, including among it's incidents
the chartering Of special train and a
run against time to Ohio. Colonel A. D.
McCorkle, brother Of VIM. A. McCorkle,
and the governors right.hand man in
military matters, has been devoted ad-
mirer Of Miss Carrie Comstock, daughter
of the late DR.. L. l.. Comstock, and a
leader in local society, and we'll known
as beauty throughout the state. When
Miss Comstock's mother and brothers
learned of the seriousness of the affair
they objected most strongly on account
of the colonel's age. The courtship was
apparently allowed to drop, but this
afternoon the climax was reached. Col.
McCorkle, Colonel and Mrs. r. S. Carr
and Capt. John Baker White drove to a
small station up the Kanawha and Michi-
gan road, where they met Miss Com
stock and Miss Jessie Dent. A special
train was waiting and they boarded a
parlor car and drew down the blinds.
In few minutes an order came from
the train dispatcher that the road was
clear and the engine started under full
head of steam for Gallipois, Ohio, which
was reached without stop. Colonel
McCorkle and Miss Comstock were
married at 6 p. m. and started on an ex
tended wedding tour. The young ladys
had been delivered to the train several
hours before the start by trusted ser
wants.

A Heroine.

ST. Louis, April l5--Miss Nellie
Oesterbaut, pretty lS-year- old girl,
saved the life of Henry Leonard at the
railroad track near Koeln avenue and
the river yesterday. Mr.. Leonard is an
aged gentleman and attempted to cross
the tracks in front of a coming engine,
which, apparently, he did not see. Miss
Oesterbaut, perceiving his danger,
threw him from the track just in time to
save his life. In her efforts her dress
skirt was caught in wheel of the en-
gne and partially torn away.

Several Montana papers have been
guilty of grossly slandering not only the
successful applicants, but the thousands
of sjors and colonels and retired states
men VIII fought SO hard to become min
eral land commissioners. These papers
have printed in cold type and in cold
blood that the salary of the commission
ers was limited to $3.50 per year. This is
certainly an indefensible outrage upon
those who scrambled for the job. They
were not candidates for the honor that
was in it, but for the shekels and while
many of them may have been hard up,
they were hardly looking for berth
with only measly $3.50 cash attachment
to it. The papers that published this
libel will do we'll to apologize, for, as a
matter OF fact, the plums in question are
worth not to exceed $500 per annum,
and it is safe to say not one OF the in
cumbents will draw one dollar less They
are rot built that way.

Now that the supreme court has de-
cded that the income tax law does not
apply to the very men that it was in
tended to reach, the millionaire bond
holders and landlorde, but does apply to
the salaried men and others of moderate
means, the republican press is unani-
nous that it should not be repealed. Its
main opponents were in the great east
EN- centecs and were the class referred
to, men who furnish the Doodle for re-
publican campaigns. They have escaped
and with their ~scape comes the discov-
cry that the law is not class legislation,
is not inquisitorial, is not unconstitu
tional and, as emascuiated in their inter
ests should stand and be enforced. This
Is why the eastern republican press,
which so bitterly opposed it, have
changed front and are supporting it.

Knight, Esq, returned last night after an
extended trip through the Southern states
for recreation and incidentally to find an
opening for business locations. They are de-
lighted with the results Of their trip and it is
quite likely that Mr.. Knight will locate at

a probability that Mr.. Scheihy will locate at
the same place. He says the people down
there require the assistance of active Northern
men with capital and there is "A big field for
factories of different kinds. With $40, 600 or

men could put thriving industries in the
place and he is seriously contemplating the
step. The developments of the ensuing
week will cause him to decide ON something

The Local Corps of Instructors Conside
Some Important Questions.

| The local teachers institute convened in
the High school building at 4.3O o'oclock yes
terday afternoon, Superintendent NJ. p.
Whitaker presiding. This session of the
institute was of more than ordinary interest
and benefit to the teachers
Prior to attending the County Institute the
local corps Of teachers was divided into sec
tions, each section to critically report the
proceedings for the different days, and to dis
cuss at length the various theories advocated
by the several instructors At the meeting
yesterday afternoon, each section presented
a careful resume of the proceedings and the
methods for school management advised by
the Instructors were discussed in full.
The great advantage of attending County
Institute was certainly appreciated by our
teachers, and the benefit they have derived
will surely manifest itself in better results
along all lines of school work The discus
sion showed plainly that the teachers had
profited very much as a consequence of the
impressions received from the eminent
authorities they were privileged to hear.
Miss Name Wasley conducted the singing
of God speed the right" The reports of
the various sections on Institute were then
presented. Messrs. Herbert G.. Hooks, James
NJ. Mullahy, Richard A. McHale and Miss
Hattie Hess presented these reports, which
were discussed generally by the teachers.
AT the next meeting the methods of DR..
Byron w. King, Dr. John DeMotte and DR..
