tions had been going on for four years

ceipt Of the offending letters, and Won
Kotze's innocence being legally estab-
hshed he was freed and restored to his
position at court. In accordance with
his demand -he-was tried by military
tribunal which acquitted him. JJpon

his hands a large number of affairs of
honor with men who were implicated
in the charges against him. He has
fought three duels. the last of which.

SPECIAL TRAIN SMASHED.
Serious Wreck ON the ID. & o. South
western Road.

CINCINNATI, Dec. IA disastrous
wreck occurred about o'clock this
morning about three-quarters of a
mile west of Storrs station on the Bal
ttmore & Ohio Southwestern, in which
two persons were killed and a number
injured. The trains colliding were No.
%, an accommodations coming In from
Cochran, Ind, and a special made up
of a passenger coach and two private
cars. The special was carrying all
the general officers of the Baltimore
& Ohio Southwestern, who were start
ing out to make a thorough inspection
Of the road. The engineer and con-
ductor of the special had orders to
follow fifteen minutes behind pre-
ceding regular train, and to keep out
of the way of the train No. %, which
had the right of way. The special
stopped at Storrs, where it should
have waited for No. %, but the engineer
and conductor both forgot the order
concerning that train and pulled out.
When three-quarters of mile west of
Storrs, the trains came together. There
was q fog which prevented seeing
clearly, SO neither engineer suspected
collision until the shock came En-
gineer John Price and Fireman Homer
were instantly killed. Engineer George
Randolph was severely injured. Gen
eral Passenger Agent J. M. Cheese
brough was thrown through the glass
of a door and face severely cut L.

CLOSING WORDS.
Congress Appealed to to Exercise
Rigid Economy

In concluding this communication, it's last
words shall be an appeal to the congress for
the most rigid economy in the expenditure Of
the money it holds in trust for the people.
The way to perplexing extravaganza is easy,
but return to frugality is difficult. When
however, it is considered that these who
bear the burdens of taxation have no guar
anty OF honest care save in the fidelity Of
their public servants, the duty of all possible
retrenchment is plainly manifest.
When our differences are forgotten and
our contests Of political opinion are no lon
ger remembered nothing in the retrospect of
our public service will be fortunate and
comforting as the recollection. of oficiaI duty
well performed and the memory of a constant
devotion to the interests of our confiding
fellow countrymen.

MYERS COMES FIRST.
Kansas Judge Has the First Guess

Topeka, Kan, Dec. THE Santa
Fe receivership case must be first tried
before Judge Myers, of the Jefferson
county district court This is the opin-
ion given this morning by Judge
Thayer, of the United States court or
appeals, and Judge Foster, of the
United States district court Both
agree in their opinion that the Santa
Fe receiyership must first go to the
district court Of Jefferson county
which must decide the points named:
Whether the alien land law. under
which the receivership was asked, was
legally passed; whether it is consti-
tutional, and if so, whether it applies
to railroads? If the Jefferson county
court decides these points against the
railroad, there will be taken appeals
to the state and United States supreme
courts.
