For more than forty years Daniel But
tiers was among the most active and
successful operators on the Chicago board
of trade. He was born sixty seven
years ago in Glasgow, Scotland. There
he grew up and became a grain and real
estate, merchant. While yet a young
man he left Scotland and removed to-
Montreal, Canada, where he engaged I'M
the grain trade. He was very success
full in this, and shipped the larger part
of all the grain which went from Mon
treal to Europe up to and during the
War of the Rebellion. His wheat was
carried in sailing vessels. 1t being be-
fore the time of large ocean steamers. 1t
would be shipped to Cork and held
aboard there until sold to millers in Great
Britain by canvaSsers, and thus he real
lied the best prices.
When the large steamers began carry
ing grain Mr.. Buffers trade was taken
away and he then removed to Chicago,
arriving here soon after the close Of the
Civil war. Since that time he has lived
here constantly and conducted business
on the Chicago board. Mr.. Buffers was
the first man to make use of the Atlantic
cable in connection with the grain bust
ness. and was also the first to establish
the system of private wires on the board
of trade, over which the condition of
crops and the supply and demand are
sent from every quarter of the United
States.
Mr.. Buffers was always highly es-
teemed in business and among his per-
sonal friends. He was an indefatigable
worker and q man of untiring energy,
who never lost heart even when the mar
ket went against him and he saw his
wheat drop one-half in value Even dur
ing his last sickness he did not give up
hope and expressed the belief that he
would again be able to take up active
work.
Five years ago Mr.. Buffers entered
the firm of Frank G. Logan & Co., com
mission merchants on the board of trade,
and was still a member of that firm
at the time Of his death.
While he yet lived in Glasgow Daniel
Buffers was married. His married life
was happy one until the death of Mrs.
Buffers, which occurred in Montreal
while Mr.. Buffers was merchant in
that city. He had but one child,
daughter, who is the wife of S. P.
Douthart. 4412 Lake avenue, an attor-
ney in the Tacoma building. A large
part of his leisure time was spent with
his tz&o grandchildren.

RAN INTO A WASHOUT.
Accident on the Lake Shore Near
Otis, Ind.-Engineer and
Fireman Killed.

Otis, Ind, Aug. 13.-A bad wreck oc-
Cured Oh the Lake Shore road at
o'clock this morning, one-half mile east
of this point The eastbound special
mail train from Chicago, consisting of an
engine, two postal cars, baggage car, one
day coach and a Wagner sleeper, ran
into :, washout 20 feet long and 30 feet
deep. The entire train with the excep-
ton of the, day coach and the. sleeper
plunged into the big hole and Engineer
James Griffith and Fireman Michael
Roach were almost instantly killed.
The day coach partially toppled over
into the abyss, but one emu remained
on the track. being held by the coupling
to the sleeper. which did not leave the
rails. The passengers in the day coach
escaped by simply going through the
sleeper and none of them received IN
juries. The mail clerks and trainmen
also escaped injury.
A cloudburst and immense flood Of
water caused the Washout and scooped
out the great hole in the earth at
c1lyert directly beneath the tracks. En-
gineer Griffin evidently had no warn
ing of the washout whatever, as he in
ouired a few minutes before he died what
caused the wreck. Both of the unfor-
tunate engineers legs We're completely
severed from his body
All Lake Shore trains are being sent
via Michigan City and Chesterton and
thence over the Michigan Central tracks
so that the delay to traffic will not be
great The Monon road has an eight
foot washout little south of here and
milldam on the north side of the road has
just burst and it looks as if the Monon
bridge on the north side will go down.

IRISH LAND BILL UP.
Measure as Amended by the House
of Lords Called in the House
of Commons

London, Aug. 12.-The Irish land bill,
as amended in the House of Lords,
where it recently passed it's third read
ing, was before the House Of Commons
again today. The chief secretary for
Ireland, Gerald Balfour, indicated the
proposed course Of the government. He
said they were prepared to acquiesce to
the new turbary clause. to Lord Inchi-
gums new subscription clause and to
the amendment dealing with proceed
sales. The other amendments, he added
would be accepted in principle, but on
the question Of pasture holdings the gev-
eminent would hold to the 100 limit and
could not accept Lord MacNaughton's
amendment emitting clause 5.
Gerald Balfour also said that the lords
had materially altered the bill to the det-
riment of the tenant. but he hoped the
lords would accept the measure in the
shape the commons would return it to
them. Otherwise, it would be a calamity
to Ireland, including the landlords them
selves

DEATH OF ARCHITECT MILLER.
He Helped Build the Great Dome on the
Capitol.


Washington. D. c., Aug. 12.-George
H. Miller, well-known architect of this
city, is dead. He entered the office of
the architect of the capitol in 1862 and
continued there until his death yesterday
He was native of Baltimore. AS first
assistant architect of the capitol Mr.
Miller had charge of much important and
responsible work. He helped build the
great white dome that surmounts and
completes the vast building and in doing
so took deep personal interest and con-
tinuous delight in the work. He super
intended placing the colossal bronze fig
ure~ of liberty on the dome and was the
last man down, retreating step by step
as each board of the scaffolding was re-
moved
Another work which he performed Of
distinct Importance architecturaliy was
the construction of the marble terrace on
the north, west and south fronts, an
undertaking which practically reversed
the frontage of the great building and
dove-tailed it into practical connection
with the city of Washington, which had
grown up to the west rather than the
rest of the building as it's original de-
signers expected. Mr.. Miller was an ex-
pert in all lines of architectural engineer
ing At the time of his death he was Il
years of age

ToADS STOP A LOCOMOTIVE.
Strange Feature of a RainstOrm ON the
Santa Fe Road in Kansas.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. 13.-There was a
perfect deluge Of small toads during the
rain last night along the Santa Fe track

to fall for several minutes and Uttered
the ground for miles. Engineer Charles
Bates, in charge of engine LOT, was on
his way to Topeka with freight train
No. 80 and was to meet passenger train
No. Z at Pauline. At the foot of
Wakarusa hill he found the track covered
with toads to such an extent that the
engine wheels were unable to stick to the
slippery rails. He put on a full stream
Of sand. but this had no effect and he
