Philadelphia, Nov. 22.-United States
Senator Quay, his son, Richard r.
Quay and former State Treasurer Ben
jamin j. Haywood were indicted by the
grand jury yesterday on all five of the
bills charging them with conspiracy in
the misuse OF state funds. No indict-
ment was brought against Charles II
Mckee, of Pittsburg, who was held In
bail by Magistrate Jermon at the same
time as Senator Quay and his son. Dis
trict Attorney Graham refused to speak
as to the reason of this. The finding
or the jury was unanimous.
One of the indictments which aroused
much comment included the names I'm
a conspiracy charge with Quay and
Haywood all the state treasurers who
have served since 1884 up to the time
of the close of Haywood's term with the

DEAD ON
TRACK !
CHASTITY Discovery Made by Boys al
st. Nicholas.
THEY FOUND A MANGLED BODY
A Tax Receipt Lead to the Identification of
the Remains as Those of a Morea
Mamie Had Attended the
Funeral of a Friend.

A fatal accident that will probably never
about nine o'clock last night, when the
mangled remains of man were found on the
?. & r. Railway, between the st. Nicholas
station and the coal storage yards east. The
discovery was made by two boys, who were
walking to their homes in st. Nicholas
Upon making the CHASTITY find the boys
noticed the crew of an engine that was
shifting in the vicinity. The crew went to
the scene and picked up the remains taking
them to Mahanoy City on the engine. The
body was placed in the p. & X. freight depot
and a search of the clothing dspclled rumors
of foul play that had gained circulation
The parties who made the search found a
tax receipt bearing the name and address,
John Oskoski, Morea" Cash to the amount
of thirteen dollars was also found in the
pockets.
This morning the remains were identified
as being those of John Oskoski, and they
were removed to Morea. The victim was in
Mahanoy City yesterday, attending the
funeral of a friend who was killed at MOrea
on Saturday. The presence of Oskoski's
body near st. Nicholas is accounted for by
the fact that the man had friends at that
place and Mahanoy City. 1t is believed that
he fell from coal train while riding home
ward, or was struck while walking along
the track, although the crews of all trains
that passed the place for an hour before the
finding of the body say they struck no per-
son, and saw no body lying ON the track.

THE NORTHWEST STORM.
In Many Places 1t Reaches the Pre-
portions of IA Blizzard.


portions of IA Blizzard.
st. Paul, Nov. 22-The first general
snow storm of the winter has prevailed
throughout the northwest during the
past SO hours, and it still continues
without much abatement. The snow
has been accompanied by a high wind,
reaching in many places the propor-
tions of a genuine blizzard. The fall
of snow has not been great but the
wind has drfted it badly and many
places report considerable delay to rail-
road traffic. Specials from various
points in North and South Dakota,
Minnesota Wisconsin and northern
Iowa report the storm still prevailing
and local business impeded. In the
British northwest the temperature is
"a and 26 degrees below zero. In this
city 1t has fallen to 10 below. The
storm was especially severe on Lake
Superior, Duluth reporting a 10 mile
gale.
An Omaha dispatch says: Nebraska
is in the grip of a nOrther. For 36
hours a strong wind from the north
west has swept the state, and during
the most of that time it has driven a
fine snow ahead of it. Considerable
loss of stock, both cattle and sheep, is
feared, owing to the fact that many
thousands of herds have been brought
in from the south for feeding and have
not yet had time to become sufficiently
acclimated to withstand the stress of
the storm. one death from exposure
is reported. f. H. Thompson, of Des
Mones, Ia, was found dead on the
street in South Omaha about 7 O'Clock
last evening.

SOLDIERSOF
TWO WARS
Deputy Surgeon General Smart
Gives Comparative Figures
ON MORTALITY FROM SICKNESS.

In the War Between the States the
Death List From Disease Far Ex-
ceeded That For the Same Period in
the War Against Spain.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Colonel Charles
Smart, deputy surgeon general of the
army has sent communication to
Surgeon General Sternberg, comparing
the deaths from sickness in the war
with Spain and in the civil war. He
says in part:
In reply to your inquiry can very
promptly state that the sickness and
mortality during the war with Spain
was not relatively so great as that
from which our volunteer troops suf-
fered during the civil war.
In April 1861, President Lincoln
called for 10000 volunteers, but it was
not until July %, when his call for
100000 was made, that we had armies
comparable in size with those recently
in existence. Beginning, then, with
July, 1861, when we had medical re-
ports from regiments aggregating only
69,11S men, and including August, Sep
tember, October and November, five
months. we find recorded a loss by
utdll VI otUtO men IN the reports sent
in by medical officers from an average
strength present of 1850 men, or
1871 deaths out Of every thousand men
during that period of five months.
In April. 1898, President Mckinley
called for 1880 men, and later for
$4,000, which. with an increase in the
regular army and the immune anc
other special regiments, made a tota
F.T 4
May, 1898, for which month we hav
medical reports in the office of the sur
| geon general of the army from reGl
ments aggregating 151,685 men, and in
Guiding June, July, August and Sep
tember, five months, we find on file 6
loss by death of only Ills men report
ed by medical officers, in an average
strength of l67, ,16S men, or 1921 deaths
out of every thousand men during that
period of five months.
Mortality from disease reached it's
maximum in the camps of our civil war
only at the end ten months, If we
count from July, 1861, or at the end of
12 months if we count from May, 1861.
when 1856 men had been buried out
of every thousand of strength present,
or, to put it otherwise, the maximum
after ten or twelve months of suffer-
ing, during six of which the mortality
was greater than that of the disease
which did so much harm in August
last. In that month the country be-
came excited over the hysteric utter
ances of yellow journalism, with 4OS
deaths per thousand, and the morale Of
the army became broken by making the
volunteer believe that never in the
history of armies had men suffered
| from disease as he and his companions
| had suffered Yet 81 years ago the
| flower of the manhood of this country,
after months of deadly losses, suffered
| in April, 1862, more than twice the loss
| incurred in August last, and instead of
going home on sick furlough they grid
| ed up their loins for the attack on
Richmond by way of the peninsula"
