VICTIM OF PARALYSIS.
Death of Ex-SenatOr Van Wyck. of Nebras.
 ka-strickem While in Washington.

ka-Stricken While tn Washiugton'
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. -EX- United States Senator Charles H. Van Wyck, of Nebraska, died at 4:30 o'clock yes. terday afternoon in his apartments nj the Portland flats. He was stricken with apoplexy Monday afternoon, and his condition since has been very criti- cal. He showed slight improvement Wednesday morning, but at night grew steadily worse, and since then his death has been momentarily ex. pected. At his bedside when the end came were Mrs. Van Wyck, a daughter, Miss Fannie, and his wife's brother, Mark Broadhead.
 Charles Henry Van Wyck was born at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., May 10, 1924. He graduated at Rutgers in 1s43, and soon afterward entered upon the pro- ,fession of law. From 1850 to 1856 he was district attorney of Sul- livan county, N. Y. He served in the lower house of congress two terms, from 1859 to 1s63 as repub. lican. Before the close of his last term in the house he was chosen colonel of the Tenth legion, or Fifty sixth regiment, of New York volun- teers. He went to the front and served with Gen. Mcclellan in the peninsula campaign. In 1865 he was breveted brigadier-general After the war he returned to the practice of his profession, and was again elected to congress in 1867, and again served two terms. In 1874 he removed from New York to Nebraska and engaged in farming. But he soon drifted back into politics, and in 1876 was member of the constitutional convention. He was then elected to the state senate, where he served until 1880. when he was elected to the United States senate. He retired from the senate in 1887 and returned to Nebraska, where he was subsequently, twice candidate for reelection without success. MT. Van Wyck, although a very rich man, was an implacable foe of corporations.

Greeted with Enthusiasm All the Way
 from Atlanta to Washington.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-The special train bearing the presidential party left Atlanta this morning at o'clock over the Southern railway. The train was scheduled to leave at o'clock, but owing to delays was an hour late in starting. The first stop was made at Salisbury, N. C., at l1:15 a. m. A large and enthusi- astic crowd was in waiting and when the president made his appearance on the platform of the ear, he was cheered repeatedly and shook hands with as many as possible during the five min- ntes the train waited. Greensboro was reached at 12:4O and then stop, though only of five minutes duration, gave opportunity for large mum Der of people to greet the chief executive. At Danville. Lynchburg and Char .ottesville, Va, points which were passed in the night on the downward trip, stops of from five to ten minutes were arranged for on the return.

HILL AT ANN AR5oR.
Tho New York Senator Advocates Several
 Reforms In National Policies.

Reforms In National Policies.
 ANN ARBoR, Mich, Oct 26.-Twenty- five hundred students of the University of Michigan gave close attention last night to an address by Senator Da- vid B. Hill, of New York. Sena. tor Hill spoke for an hour and three-quarters on "Old Landmarks" and in the course of his speech enunciated some radical criticisms of the present system of issuance of treasury notes as legal tender money. The Senator reviewed the history sur rounding the framing of the United States constitution, and incidentally commended Thomas Jefferson as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of the early American leaders. He cited the decision by the supreme court in the income tax cases as an instance in which the old landmarks of the con- stitution in relation to taxation had been adhered to by the country's highest tribunal. The reforms in our national policies which the speaker declared to be most urgent at present are as follows: Presidential terms of six years; the election of senators by direct vote of the people; the empow- ering of the president to veto separate items of appropriation bills; the abol- ishment of the present system of is- suing legal tender notes by the gov ernment.
 Senator Hill upheld his claim that congress has intrinsically no power to declare its promissory notes to be money, nor to issue notes continu- ally without having the specie with which to redeem them. He was not inclined to doubt the patriotic motives of those who inaugurated the system during the time of war. Criticism, he said, should be reserved for those who perpetuated the system and made it an intending chain of note issue. The return to ''one old land- mark" namely the hard money 'dol- lar of our daddies," was strongly urged
 As to the silver issue, Senator Hill spoke hopefully of its ultimate solu- ton, remarking that on account of the recent discoveries of gold in Africa, etc, the question may, perhaps, be set tied without the aid of either states men or politicians.

THE TREASURY.
Carlisle Undecided About Recommending
 More Taxation.


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Neither Sec retary Carlisle nor Commissioner Mill Ter have decided whether to recom- mend to congress an increase in inter- nal revenue taxation to make up the deficiency in the revenues Two causes operate to produce this indecision. In the first place it is not known whether the house of representatives, with its large republican majority, would be likely to pay much attention to the recommendations of the treas- ury officials without adding to such a revenue bill as wo i'd be reported provisions which the president would not approve. Then the prospect for increased receipts from internal rev. enue is so promising that the govern ment may be carried on without changing the present jaw.
 The receipts from internal revenue during this month will double the re- ceipts for October, 1894, and will ex- ceed those for October, 1893, while a constant increase month by month is anticioated from now to the end of the fiscal year. Mir. Miller estimates that by the middle of February the receipts for the fiscal year to chat date will equal those of 1893 and that during the remainder of the year they will show an increase. The difference in the receipts during this year and those of 1893 MT. Miller looks upon IS deficit and he is extremely anxious to see the deficit made up. At present it amounts to about Sl4,OOO,OOl He estimates, however, that this amount will be re- duced S6, ,OOO, 900 this nonth and that in November, December and January the balance will be cleared away. -
 Mir. Miller estimates that the re- ceipts for the fiscal year from internal revenue will amount to Sl60,000 900. This will be S2O, 900, 900 more than the receipts of last year and more than the receipts of year ago.

regard for the clock. As he always had something to say which we either wanted or needed to hear, or both, it never occurred to the congregation that there was a great, round-faced clock on the front of the gallery softly ticking its subdued "amens" all through tho service. Our preacher has been dowl, east a great many years teaching preachers how to preach, so We may get back to the life-size sermons and whole hymns again.
 We'll, that choir was so praised and lauded, and deservedly so, that at last it exalted its horn like the thorn of an unicorn," and decided to take entire charge of the musical portion of the service. The leader, a young man of sublime confidence, sblen- did voice, long, curling hair tucked un- der at the ends, as was the fash ion with young men at that day, like the jack of spades, if you know what that is, and a wealth of bears grease, favored with bergamot, came to the preacher and said: "Mr. Seekpeace, I must have the hymns for Sunday serv- ice on Friday morning hereafter. have changed rehearsal from Saturday to Friday evening"
 But can't let you have them Friday morning." the preacher said, "becnuse l do not always know at that time what I will preach about on the Sunday fol- lowing. You may have them Satur~ day morning, as usual"
 But the leader would not have it that way, and he said so. The preacher was q man not given to controversy in small matters. He said what he had to say on the subject in few words se- lected from the English language. principally monosyllables, and went his way, as also did the leader, their ways beginning at the same point and running respectively east by east and due west. The preacher sent the leader the numbers of the hymns on the morning of the Saturday following.

Two Men Shot.

WAGoNER, I. T., Oct. 25.-Zeke and Dick Crittenden, brothers and Chero- kee Indians, came into town yesterday afternoon and soon became intoxicated. They were both armed with revolvers and shot promiscuously over town. Finally the city marshal took charge of Dick and tried to get him to go home, but while he was gone Zeke became so wild that Deputy Marshal Ed Reed attempted to arrest him, when Zeke shot with a pistol at Reed, but luckily missed his mark, then Reed fired with his Winchester, the ball passing through Zeke's body, killing him almost instantly. In the meantime Dick had heard of his brother being shot, and came to the scene on his horse, fiourishing his re- volver, and seeing Reed, commenced firing, but missed his aim. when Reed put two bullets through his body and also killed the horse. Dick lived about three hours

A Fast Passsnger Train Jumps the Track at Waldron, Mo.-Passengers Hurt. KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 25.-While running at a speed of GO miles an hour southbound passenger train No. 16, of the Burlington, the Denver-St. Louis express ran into defective switch at Waldron, Mo-, l6 miles north of Kan- sas City, at 7:46 last evening. The mail, baggage, one chair ear and the smoker left the track and were badly wrecked. The engine, one chair car and Pullman car remained on the rails.
 The injured were: James Hearn, cut on hand and wrist and shoulder bruised; R. J. Light, of St Joseph, hand cut and burised; w. T. Farel, of Kansas City; bruised on right check and body; Charles M. Moore, of Kan sas City, left foot crushed, body bruised and cut seriously; J. S.

 This wrenched the baggage car in front of it also from this track, and after humping along the ties 100 yards or more it, too, turned and broke loose, as it did so jerking the smoker from the rails. For perhaps 200 feet the smoker careered along and then it, too, tore loose and fell 1n its side, throwing its ten passengers in all di- reetionS

Death and Ruin Wrought by Fierce Wind
 in Russian Poland.
 WARSAW, Oct. 25.-The city of Lub. lin, the capital of the government of that name in Russian Poland, was visited by hurricane to-day which resulted in the loss of life and great damage to property. Religious services were being held in the cathedral in the central por- tion of Poland, when the hurricane broke over the town. The iron GOV. cred roof of the edifice, which was filled with worshippers, was torn away and fell into the interior of the church, killing several persons outright and injuring large number. The panic-stricken cons gregation, shrieking with terror, made Q rush for the doors and many men, women and children were thrown down and trampled upon or crushed to death or insensibility in the struggling mass of humanity.

sacred to the day and the place, assem- bled with customary decorum. One by one the deacons walked up the aisles to their places, timing their steps with mournful squeaks that deepened the solemnity of the hour and awakened mirth only in the breasts of the younger children, who were promptly thumped to respectful silence by the catapult of some adult finger. The hymn was given out, and all the hymn books in the pews rustled open. We listened for the usual little muflied commotion of the choir getting into position with it's little fussiness of small affectations. We turned our heads, looked up and saw a gallery as empty as the foreign mission treasury at the close of the year. The presence of the singers scattered here and there among the congregation was explained. Some light-hearted members of the choir Uttered, but the rest of us were little bit frightened. The preacher looked up quickly and understood. He quiet ly closed the, hymn book, opened the Bible, read the Scripture, offered prayer, gave out the notices for the week, preached his sermon and pro- nounced the benediction. Calm and unrutIled and undisturbed was he, as though that had been the order of serv- ice for hundred years. The evening service was conducted in like manner. No hymns were given out. No refer ence was made to the subject. He was so quiet and natural that we began to wonder if that hadn't been the way we always worshipcd, and had only dreamed that we used to have choir and sang hymns of praise.
 Of course, that wouldn't do. The dca- cons came together, investigated tLe trouble and proffered their services as arbitrators. The leader was firm, the preacher was adamant. Finally tie | latter said: "I'll tell you what I'll do: l will give the choir the hymns for the next six months, and the leader may have rehearsal any time that best suits him."
 The deacons carried the proposition to the choir; it was accepted; the gallery and the pulpit were recon ciled; the preacher was meekly sub missive, the leader was radiantly tri- umphant. But, being disposed to be gracious and magnanimous, he gave tnc preacher two or three days to get over the first sharp humiliation and pang of defeat, then called on him for tl.e hymns. The preacher sat down and wrote q long column of numbers, be- ginning at 1 and running in regular | progression-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, z, 8, etc.-up | to 1856.
 '"There," he said, with the ar of a de- feated man, "sing them as they come." ! The leader bowed as he took the list with the kindly condescension of big hearted conqueror and retired.
 The Sunday morning after the treaty of peace was made the church meeting house was crowded. In his pew. far up in front of all others, sat Deacon Robert Standfast. He was q prosperous cattle man, very Jacob, and had been out on the prairies with his focks and herds when all this trouble occurred. fe loved his pastor with all the tenderness of a big man.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. 26.-All the messengers in the employ of the American Express Co. have been fur nished with Winchesters and revolvers to resist train robbers. Under new rules they are required, when they come in from a trip, to re- move the cartridges from their Win. chesters and revolvers, examine them and the ammunition and report the condition. The company also advises it's men to become proficient in rife and revolver practice and hints that in the near future prizes will be awarded to the most proficient marksman.
