Resignation of the Marquis di Rudini and
His Fellow Ministers.

Rome, July 1.-THE cabinet which
was formed by the Marquis di Rudini
just four months ago. has resigned. The
cabinet today rejected the proposal SUBJ
mitted by Gen. Rcotti, minister of war,
for reduction of the mum srioal strength
of the army. whereupcn Gen. Ricotti at
once offered his resignation. In view of
the action Of Gen. Riootti, Premier
Rudini and the other mem bers Of the
ministry placed their designations in the
hands of King Hum bert, who has charged
the Marquis di Rudini with the forma-
ton of @ new ministry.
The ministry has decided conservative
leaning. The ministers were sworn
into office at the Quirinal March 10, 1885,
The Marquis Rudini's name was famil-
lar in this country five years ago. when
the trouble over the massacre of Italians
at New Orleans was adjusted, and the
statesman, as premier, accepted the pro-
position of Secretary Blaine. Rudini
Is not unlike ex-Premier Cr1spi In ap-
pearance and general policy, except that
the marquis is the more conservative of
the two. His first notable act was his
defence, as 'sindaoo," or mayor, of the
Mayoral Palace of Palermo whom the
city was sacked by mob THAI ruled for
iva days. He led the sorties on the
rabble himself and displayed such in
trepidity and good Judgment that he
forced the rioters to retire and disband,
when he soon restored order. His sui b.
sequent magnanimous treatment OF all
the maloontents and the ringleaders added
to his popularity. He has ever since been
prominent in the politics of his country,
as an eloquent and forcible member of
tho Chamber of Deputies and as prime
minister. He was born in Sicily over
go years ago.
The direction that was taken by Mar
quis di Rudini's policy was economics
at home, retirement from the African
enterprise on the ambi tious lines traced
out by CrIspi, more liberal and more
strictly constitutional government in Italy
of the systematic and aggressive persecu-
tion of which Crispi's opponents have
of late been the victims. Sicily and
Sardinia, which have for years been left
in the most shameful neglect, wers
again to receive the attention of the
government. The prem1er's policy aimed
at increasing the cordial relations al
ready existing between Italy and Eng
land

Logan Iowa Wreck All That 1T Was
Feared,

Frightful Mass of Dismembered Bodies
Brought into Union Depot for Identi-
fcation-Seventeen Dead Bodies Brought
Orn aha, July 11.-An appalling aooi-
dent to passenger train happened early
this afternoon at "a miles from Logan on
the Northwestern railroad in which
twenty-geven persons, residents of this
city, Council Bluffs and vicinity, were
killed and forty wounded.
Omaha. Neb., July 12.-Th is has been
day of general mourning in Omaha.
The harvest of death from the Logan.
Iowa wreck last night has been in
creased. The list of victims now num-
bers 81. The crowds of anxious people
at the depots did not scatter with the
break of day, although the excitement
of the night wore off as relatives and
friends of the dead ones became con-
WINGED Of the worst.
About z the first train from the scene
of the wreck arrived at the Union de-
pot. The train brought many of the
more seriously injured. Twenty passen-
gers were taken in ambulanoes to St.
Joseph's hospital. Several cannot hope
to live more than few hours.
At $50 train carrying the dead was

covered with plain muslin shrouds, were
placed in row on the floor of the bag
gage room.
Only friends of the missing ones were
allowed admission. Headless trunks,
bodies without limbs, limbs without
bodies, were gathered in the small space.
Occasionally as some one would reoog-
nize the features of a son or daughter, the
body would be ticketsd and sent to the

ceptable candidate TO the Maine Demo-
Gratis.
James @. Hainlen, Esq this
nomination has knocked the last bit of
Dem oorscy cut of me. I am Repubii-
can in this contest. 1 don't see how
any Democrat of honor OF integrity can
vote for such TICKET Or platform. Its
too much-its simply disgusting.
Augustus r. Wright, Esq. There is
only one thing for self respecting Dem
ocrats to do apparently and ssthat is to
vote the Republican ticket. The real
Democrats will never swallow such %
dose as this.
Walter @. Davis, ESQ. Was no better
pleased with the turn affairs have taken.
DR.. John G. Merrill said the kindest
things to say was to say nothing.
William II. Mcdonald of the Argus
convention in nominating Arthur Sewall
of Bath for Vice Presidnt will prove
greatly to the advantage Of the Demo-
cratic party in New England and espeu-
tally in Maine. ''ae is gentleman in
whom the Democrats OF this stats have
the utmost confidence and will prove a
strong running mate fuE Mr.. Bryan. I
believe that the ticket nominated at
Chicago will be enthusiastically sup
ported by the Democracy OF Maine"
Mr.. John M. Todd, the old war horse
Of the Maino Populists, had considerable
to say about the acts of the Democratic
national convention at Chicago aud its
bearing on the Populists' cause. 81
can't Tor the life of me see how Mr.. Win
slow, the Maine Democrats nominee for
Governor, can with consistency continue
In the Held standing on gold platform
when the national platform presoribes
Silver as Democratic medicine. The only
hing fer Mr.. Winslow to do is to with
draw and the only logical course for the
Maine Democrats to pursue is to support
Mr.. Bateman, the Populists' candidate
for Governor. When asked whether OF
not the Populists would endorse the
Chicago nominees and unite with the
Democracy, Mr.. Todd said: 1T is
reasonable to suppose that this is what
they will do at their national convention.
They will probably endorse Mr.. Bryan
and the silver platform, but I DO not
think they will support Mr.. Sewall, the
Vice Presidential nominee, as he belongs
to the Fplutooraoy and is q member of
railroad corporations, all of which corpo-
rations the Populists condemn. have
known Mr.. Sewall for long time, ever
since boyhood in fact. He is fine fellow
but the Populists of Maine cannot CON-
scientiously support him unless the Ma
tional Populists' convention, to be held
shortly at ST. Louis, endorses the whole
Democratic ticket.''
Yes" said Mr.. Todd in conclusion,
'there is little doubt about the course
the Populists will pursue if the national
convention endorses the Democratic
ticket. They will unite with the Demo-
Gratis and sweep the country"

LIGHTNiNG'S FRANKS.
Casco Tanning Co. Receives the Most
Damage.

About II O'Clock Saturday forenoon
dark clouds began to pile up in the north
and in a few minutes the rain COM
menced to fall in torrents, accompanied
by a terrific squall, thunder and light
ming.
The lightning struck the S5-foot
chimney of the Casco Tanning company
during the storm. Engineer Partridge,
who was ON the roof of the engine house
directly under the chimney narrowly
escaped being crushed by the falling
bricks. He had gone on the roof to repair
leak and had just reached the chimney
when the lightning struck it, The shock
sent him staggering toward the boiler
house while the mass Of brick and NOR
tt ar fell in the opposi5e direction. The
course Of the bolt was most Irregular.
1t struck few inches from the top of
the chimney and descended about Is feet
down the southeast corner, leaving a
path about two feet wide. IL then skipped
three feet and entered again and opened
up another course of 30 feet long and two
feet wide to the roof Of the engine house
where it disappeared leaving no trace
whatever. Had it entered the engine
house and come in contact with the 15C
horse power engine there the results
would have been very disastrous. The
damage to the chimney cannot be esti-
mated but il the foundation is still
firm it will not be very heavy. The inner
fiue does not seem to be injured but
the cap is completely destroyed. The
buildings are fully covered by insurance.
The shower of bricks from the chimney
covered the whole yard Of the sannery.
lightning struck VIM. Chicks house
OK Tying street Saturday afternoon. 1t
went down through the ell OF the house
and passed down into the drain pipes,
breaking the tile. The damage waa
slight
Lightning also struck largo tree on
Watergille street, shattering it badly.
Mr.. Albert S. Spaulding, 81 Green
street, had d queer experience during
the thunder shower Saturday. A bolt
came down through tho chimney and
out through the stove funnel IN the back
parlor. This bolt came out into the room
and nads a noise like touching & lighted
match to powder. strong sulphuriH
smell pervaded the room but no damage
was done. A niece of Mr.. Spaulding,
who happened to be sitting in the room,
at the time, was startled some but felt
no Ill effects from the shook.
During the heavy shower Saturday
afternoon q bolt of fire went in the front
door of Sullivan & Osgoood's grocery
store on Portland street and burst in the
centre of the store No one was injured.
A tree at the corner Of Gray and Win
ter streets was struck by lightning and
a big limb fell, passing within few feet
of a horse which was hitobed near by.
The tree was badly splinteFed.

"The currency and credit of the gov
eminent are now good and must be kept
good forever. Our trouble is not with
the character of the money we have, but
with the threat to debase it. We have
the same currency We had in 1884, good
the world over and unquestioned by any
people. Then, 100, we had unexampled
credit and prosperity. Our difficulty is
to get that money in circulation and in
vested in productive enterprises which
furnish employment to American labor.
This is impossible with the distrust
that hangs over the country at the pres
ent. time and every effort to make our
dollars, or any Of them worth less than
100 cents each. only serves to increase
that distrust. What we want Is a sound
policy, financial and industrial, which
will give courage and confidence to all,
for when that Is done the money now
employed because of fear for the future
and the lack of confidence in Investment
will quickly appear in the channels of
trade.

Having destroyed business and conf
dence by free trade policy, 1t is now pro-
posed to make the thing still worse by
entering upon an era of deprecated
currency. Not content with the inaugu-
ration of a ruinous policy which has
brought down the wages Of the laborer
and the price of farm products. its adyo-
Gates now offer new policy which will
diminish the value of money in which
the wages and products are paid.
Against both these We stand opposed.
Our creed embraces an honest dollar,
unrarnishsd national credit, adequnts
revenues for the uses OF the government,
protection to labor and industry, the pre-
servation of the home market and reeip-
rociby which will extend over foreign
markets. Upon this platform We stand

and considerable judg ment of the Ameri-
can people.

New York, July 1.-THE Sun will to-
morrow comment ON the nomination of
Mr.. Sewall as follows: 1.-THE so-oalled
Democratic national convention at Chi
oago nominated Hon. Arthur Sewall of
Maine for Vice President on the fifth
ballot yesterday, and then performed the
first useful service by adjourning with
out day."
The Mercury will say: "They are the
representatives Of tried and progressive
Democracy, and they will grow in popu-
larity as the campaign progresses.
The Tribune article is headed ''Popu
list and Plutocrat,' and says in part that
MIR. Sewall has enjoyed the unique dis
tinotion of being an advocate of the free
coinage of silver in section of the ooun-
try where he has stood almost alone in
his peculiar attitude. To that fact and
the possession of d barrel his selection
is undoubtedly due. AS an eccentric
and wealthy wosterner he is fittin q
complement TO the glib western orator
chosen to head the Populist tioket.''
