of congrexg which lasted two weeks,
at the end of which time they were
reprimanded by the speaker, and re-
leased from custody.
During the war of 1912, the British
forces caused great losses to the people
at River Raisin, and in 1918 claims to
the amount of $4,000 were presented
before congress. Col, John Anderson,
the principal claimant, wrote letter
to Congressman Lewis Williams, Of
North Carolina, offering Ito pay him
$500 for the extra trouble he gave him,
in desiring him to relate to the con-
gress the story of the conduct of the
British in that country"
Mr.. Williams laid this letter before
Speaker Henry Clay, and demanded
action by the house of representatives.
on this attempt to bribe him. After
a protracted debate the house, by q
vote of 11S to As ordered the arrest
of Anderson, and he was arraigned be-
fore the bar of the house, the speaker
(Mr. Clay) interrogating him as to the
extent of the influence proposed in his
letter.
1t was shown that Col. Anderson
had been a very brave soldier, had

which Randall and Whitney claimed to
be the agents. This proposed steal
amounted to 20,o0O,Oo0 acres of land; I;
and the company of proposed benefi-
Charles claimed to be able to eXtinguish
and pay for the Indian titles. This was
the precursor of the land grants on
which Credit Mobilier was founded.
Randall and Whitney approached d
Congressman Giles, of Virginia, and
told him that while the stock of the
company was the best thing he could
possibly take, because of its future
dividends, they had with them 81 ,0O0, 600
in cash to distribute among timid SEN
ators and representatives, who pre-
fered cash to stock. Mr.. Giles ar
ranged an interview, where Randall
and Whitney met other members and
repeated their bribery proposals. Then
Mr.. Giles informed the president, who
ordered the arrest of the bribers. But.
by reason of question of jurisdiction,
the United States marshal did not make
the arrest 1hereupon the sergeant
alarms of the house of representa-
tives arrested them on December 20
and on December 80 haled them before

ROASTED DEATH.
Passenger and Freight Trains
Collide Near Berea, o.
Six Persons Were Killed and Seven
Injured-To Add 10 the Horror
the Wrecknge Took Fire
A Horrible Scene
Follows.

Cleveland, Feb .25.-Six persons
were killed and seven injured in
head-on collision on the Big Four
railroad near Berea Monday night.
Passenger train No. 25, westbound,
collided with freight train No. "a, go
ing east. Fire added to the horror of
the wreck and those not Instantly
killed were roasted to death under
the wreckage.
The passenger had the right of way
and the freight was standing on
switch awaiting the arrival of the
westbound train. After waiting some
time the crew of the freight moved it
from the switch on to the main track.
At this point it is said the signal sys-
TEN proved false, the lights indicating
to the crew of the freight that they
had the right of way.
The train was started along at a
fair speed and had attained a speed
of perhaps ten miles an hour when
from out of the darkness shone the
headlight of the oncoming passenger
train, going at the rate of 40 miles an
hour.
With terrific crash the two trains
came together, crews of both the en-
gines jumping just before their en-
gines came together.
In the freight train were two live
stock cars and II cars laden with
coal.
The two mail cars of the passenger
telescoped it's engine and the live
stock cars and engine of the freight
were telescoped.
At this point the climax of the ca
lamity occurred, the lamps inside the
mail ears exploding and setting the
wreckage on fire.
Groans of dying men, believing of
injured cattle, the cries of frightened
passengers and trainmen, and the
cracking of the flames all formed a
scene horrible in it's nature and al
most impossible of description.
The dead w. H. Blackwell, head
mail clerk, of Cleveland, burned to
death in his car.
L. NJ. Walworth, mail clerk, OF
Cleveland, burned and bruised. Died
from injuries.
F. w. Kriesmann-of Cleveland, mail
clerk, burned to death.
T. w. Smiley mail clerk, of Cleve-
land, burned to death.
Two bodies were found in the ashes
of stock car. They were badly
burned and are believed to have been

MOVING BACKWARD.
Trains that Were Snowbound I'm New
fOundIanh Eorccd TO Retreat.

st. Johns, n. F., Feb. 24.-Ths
trains which were snowbound in the
interior having secured relief are now
moving backwards 10 their starting
points, where ample food and accom-
modations for travellers are available
Tt was impossible for the trains td
attempt to cut their way through
the snowdrifts across the summit Oh
the island.
Another fierce gale ragged Sunday
night, adding to the snow drifts. An
eastern train with 43 passengers
reached Norris Arm yesterday after.
noon and is now on its way to this
city, but it is unknown when it win
reach its destination, owing to the
rain storm and the subsequent frost
coating the tracks with ice. A train
which left st. Johns Monday morning
was unable to proceed half a mile
from the station owing to the ice,
and had to return.
The western snowbound express is
slowly retreating toward Bay of Isl'
ands with SIS persons aboard. 1t was
deemed unwise to keep the train near
the summit owing to n possible long
delay before that section of the rail-
road is clear. The passengers will be
housed at Bay of Islands. The pas
sengers of the express, which also
carries large American and Canadian
incoming mails, are likely to be de,
tanned at Bay of Islands for some
time yet. Business is greatly incon,
venienced by the delay in the arrival
of the mails.

A DEGENERATE RACE.
A Preacher Finds that Murder. POIyg-
amy and Other Crimes Flourish In
Certain Connecticut Towns.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 24.-Rev.
F. L. Hutchins, who has been making
tour of this state in the interests
of the Connecticut Bible society, read
a paper yesterday at a meeting of
pastors of this city, in which he
pointed out the results of his obser-
vations in certain parts of Connec-
ticut in a way that startled his hear
ers. Mr.. Hutchins said that polyg-
amy is practiced in certain towns in
the eastern part of Connecticut. The
degeneracy of the inhabitants of the
towns referred to, Mr.. Hutchins
said, was productive of murder and
other crimes.
He added that another feature of
life in that section and in the north
western part of the state was the
existence of class of illiterates
whom he called poor whites"
These live in shacks and are an ig-
norant set. The speaker thought the
inefficiency of the country school was
responsible in a large measure for
such conditions, and he believed also
that the church was not holding it's
own in these districts.

HEAVY FIRE LOSS.
Car Barns of a Circus Partly
Destroyed.
Twelve Firemen injured by the FALL
ing ofa COrnice plants FSad-
ly scared, but They Were
Moved to Places of
Safety.

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 25.-Fire
partly destroyed the new brick car
barn at the winter quarters of the
Barnum & Bailey circus here yester-
day and burned a number of cars be-
longing to the circus. The loss is es-
timated at 100000, on which there is
an insurance of $33, 900. The fire was
caused by lamp falling to the floor
in the midst of quantity of benzine
and other inhammable material.
While the fire was at It's height cor
nice fell, carrying to the ground
with it 12 firemen who were at work
on the roof. The men were consider
ably bruised, but were not otherwise
injured.
Considerable excitement was occa-.
stoned during the removal of IA ele-
plants which were quartered in a
building adjoining the car barns. 1t
was necessary to remove the ele-
plants through door facing the
burning building, and across the
tracks, between rows of burning and
smoking cars. In order to accom-
plish this safely the four keepers
took one animal out at time until
the entire herd was removed. The
loud trumpeting of the elephants
gave rise to a rumor that the ami
mails had broken loose. This rumor
rapidly spread around the city and
occasioned much alarm. The other
animals, however, We're at no time in
danger. The fire was under control
in about half an hour.
Six new Pullman cars valued at
| $4,000 each and two new fiat cars,
valued at $4,000, were entirely de-
stroyed. More than $50 feet of the
barns was burned to the ground and
ten stock cars which were standing
outside the barn were considerably
| damaged.
