NoFson y Co, KILLERS and Grain Dealers
Of Okieago and Lookport, Go Down.
Chicago, Dec. 28.-Norton e. Co, of
Chicago and Lockport, Ill, miliers and
grain dealers, went into the hands Of s.
receiver late Saturday afternoon. The
affairs Of the firm were in such shape
that it was impossible to learn definite
" what the assets and liabilities are.
It was represented that the assets
might approach 100000, and il was
stated that the liabilities were consid-
erably under that figure. Norton & Co.
have been known for 40 years through
their operation of the Lockport mills.
They added other enterprises to their
early business, and in addition to their
Touring mill they have grain elevators
and an electric light plant at Lockport.
They have also a large grocery store
at Romeo, on the Illinois q Michigan
canal.
They have warehouses and grain 81.
evators, and in Chicago a large Touring
establishment. The company also owns
q paper mill at Niagara Falls and is
largely interested in the water and cleo
trio power scheme at the falls. They
have done a private banking business
of enormous proportions in Lockport,
and nearly half of the Lockport popu-
lace Is directly interested through de-
posits. The business integrity of the
company has lever been questioned
here, and the failure is a gloomy sur
prise. However, assurance is given that
the embarrassment is only temporary.
The company was caught deep by the
failure Of the National Bank of Iii
nois, and finding themselves thus un-
able to continue the operation of their
extensive properties and meet the de-
mands of depositors until they could
realize from other urce a receiver
was applied for as the most safe and
equitable mode of adjusting the fnan-
cial difficulties.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The will Of

of the value of the estate disposed OF,

Rumors Regarding Attitude of h Pow

London, Dec. 29.-The Rome CORE

that the Spanish government recently
questioned Great Britain, France aud
Italy regarding their attitude in the
event of wal between Spain and the
United States. Great Britain, the cor
respondent adds, declined to give a
definite reply, saying that everything
depended on the course of events and
the subsequent relations of the con-
tending nations. Italy offered to as

rangement of the trouble, without
promising to support Spain. The atti-
tude of the vatican is absolutely favora-

MANY VICTIMS.
T~wenty-Three known Dead as 3 Resrka
OF wreck in Alabanl

TWENTY Three Known Dead as 3 Reseta
OF = wreck in Alabanr
Birmingham, Ala, Dec. %. - Few
further details are obtainable as to the
terrible railroad wreck at the cahaba
river bridge Sunday. The railroad of
hcials have q list of 81 dead, that number
OF bodies having been taken out of the
river, but the belief gains ground that
there are more dead bodies yet in the
river, or else some were er tirely con-
sumed by fire.
The railroad officials, however, nay
the place has been thororvhIy searched.
II seems impossible to ascertain how
many passengers were on the train.
Nearly all held round-trip holiday tick-
cts and had been away from home to
spend Christmas. Many wire on their
way back to the various mining towns
when the disaster occurred. Only one
ticket vas sold out of Birmingham for
the Inflated train.
Conductor Connell, who knew better
than anyone else the number aboard,
was killed and burned up in the wreck.
1t developed Monday morning that q
man named Libbs and his wife got on
the train at Gunner, six miles this side
of the wreck. They are missing, and it
is probable that they were burned in
the wreck. This runs the list of known
dead to %.
Others to the number of six who were
supposed 10 be missing, have been ac-
counted for.
The injured are from mining towns
in this district. The only persons on
the train to escape unhurt were three
little children of Mrs. Walker. i is
thought that fully half the dead e
cremated alive. A further examina-
ton Of the bridge shows that the spikes
on one side had been drawn Pr a rail
length, which indicated thattarail was
moved out of place to delibe'Ateiy wreck
the train. "
The story that thresd robbed the
dead and dying, as 10y oRe of the
survivors, has net been confirmed.
But railroad OFF are now sure it
was the work of hin wreckers, and an
army of deteq yes are working on the

SENT TO JAIL.
Chicago Alderman Indicted ON q Charge
Of Murder.

SAAN@SS
of Murder.
Chicago, Dec. 2S.-As the result of
information gained recently by Police
Inspector Setback from two ~nonresi-
dent witnesses, the grand jury on Sat
urday voted an Indictment against
Thomas j. O'Malley, alderman from the
Fwenty-third ward, charging completely
in the murder of Gus ColliandeT, a sa-
loon keeper and Twenty-third ward
politician, on election night, Novem-
Der, 1894. Half a dozen members of the
notorious Market street gang" have
been suspected by the police of this cold
blooded crime. John Bingham and John
Santry, of the gang, were also indicted
Saturday on the same charge. O'Malley,
at one a. m. Sunday, surrendered himself
and was taken to jail.
CoIliander had received the nomina-
ton for north town collector, and en-
tered the polling place at lit Oak street
about midnight to watch the count of
votes. Soon after his arrival a band
of the Market street criminals broke
in the door and a bloody fight followed.
Colliander was shot through the body
and head, dying in a few hours. Po-
liceman Michaels, who was stationed
at the polling place, was seriously
wounded by a bullet. Assistant States
Attorney Pearson, who examined the
new witnesses, said their testimony
made out a stronger case against the
alderman than against Santry or Bing-
ham. 1t is alleged that witnesses
saw O'MalIey with the other man be-
fore the murder and scufling in the
crowd while the shooting was in prog
ress. The police have been working very
secretly for months on new develop
ments in the case and the indictment
of O'Malley caused sensational surprise
as much in police circles as among poll
tians at the city hall. He has a plumb
ing establishment in his ward, was sers-
ing his first term in the council and has
always been regarded as a good citt~
zen.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

Wm Soon Be Ready to BE Presented to
the Senate.
Washington, Dec. 29.-The latest in
formation respecting the Anglo-Ameri-
can treaty, under the terms of which all
future disputes between the United
States and Great Britain not involving
the national honor of the two govern
ments are to be referred to an arbitra-
tionai tribunal, is that it will be signed
by the British ambassador, Sir Julian
P~auncefote, and by Secretary Olney,
representing the United States, this
week. The last point of difference be-
tween the two gentlemen was settled
a few days ago and cabled to Lord Sails
bury for his approval. State depart
ment officials believe that Lord Sails
bury's reply, which Is expected to be
favorable, will reach Washington not
later than Wednesday, in which event
the formal signing of the treaty will
immediately follow. It is predicted
that the treaty will be sent to the senate
within q few days after the reassem-
bling Of congress next week.

Oy, People Generally do
Not Regret It.

Everybody seems glad that Christmas
is over and none more so thsn the tired
clerks who have been decidedly on the
jump for two weeks showing goods and
trying to satisfy the wants Of the buy
ers OF holiday goods.
Although the stores have not done as
much business this ye6f as has been
done, yet the trade was far ahead Of
last yessis,snd better In most lines than
was expected. Up until the beginning
or last week trade had been extremely
aull but ct that time the people seemed
60 get aroused to the fact that Christ
mas was near and all stated out tobIy
presents with the result that e was s
very busy week.
The express companies have Z ae
more business this year than last The
United States, despite the fact that they
lost the local business on the Central
Isst June, did more business than they
did last year. Tue Adams had sll they

business.
At the post Office the business has
been decidedly greater than in 1895,
