MRS. LOGAN GIVES HER ADVICE.
She Prefers a Democrat to a Farmer for
Senator from Illinois.

ErnixGrIELD, 1115., Feb. 27.—Mrs. John
A. Logan has always taken a keen interest
in national politics, and is undoubtedly
one of the clearest headed women in the
country on such matters. “'hile alive her
distinguished husband, “Black Jack” Lo‘

. gun, as he was fa-
miliarly known,
rarely took an im-
portant step with-
out serious eon-
sultation with his
able wife, and
subsequent events
almost without
exception proved
that her j udgmenl
was correct. F01
\ 23 these reasons the
‘ ~. (‘1? following dis-
m \ ‘patch, which Sen-
ator Crawford has
received from Mrs.
Gen. John A. Logan, has added not a
little excitement to the already compli-
cated senatorial situation here, and may
have an important bearing on the ulti-
mate result:

 
 
 

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2').
C. H. Crawford, Springfield:

Better be dead by an organized. honorable
opposition than to be demoralized and disor
ganizéd by an ignoble surrender of principle,
Stand firmly together and command the confi-
dence and respect of intelligent people, ever
though you might be temporarily unsuccessful
It is against reason. sense and all usage that 2
minority so small should dictate to a great ma-
jority of recognized honorable representatives
of honest principles. Mus. JOHN A. LOGAN.

This means that Mrs. Logan favors a
Democrat rather than a farmer for United
States senator.

A HORRIBLE SCENE.

Carried to the Scail'old Strapped to a
Plank—Then the Rope Broke.

\V.\SIIING'1‘O.\', Pa... Feb. 27.—Murderei
\Vest was han gcd at 2:33 p. m. Thursday.

\Vest was carried from his cell to the
scaffold strapped to a plank. When the
rope was adjusted and the trap sprung
\Vest's body fell a distance of four feet.

The rope snapped and the victim fell on
the ground. The spectators rushed for
ward and assisted in carrying the body 0
the gasping, struggling criminal to the
scaffold.

The rope was again adjusted, and three
minutes after the first drop W'est again
swung ofi“, dropping a distance of two feet,
where he hung until dead.

 

IVALES RIAY BE TAINTED.

Symptoms of hielancholia That DIay
Come from Hereditary Insanity.
LONDON. Feb. 27.—The Prince of \Vales
has of late shown more frequently than
ever before those symptoms of melancho-
lia which have occasionally in the past
given rise to apprehension on the part 01
his friends. A depressed state of feeling
is now said to be habitual with the hen
apparent. He often expressed to his inti-
mates the belief that he will never live tc
ascend the throne.

At other times he speaks gloomily 01
what will happen in case he does succeed
to the kingship. He predicts that serious
political and social complications will fol-
low the queen’s death.

The Liberals, he foresees, will make new
demands, while the Radicals will seize the
occasion. to bring to a head whatever pop-
ulur sentiment there may be scattered
among the masses in favor of a republican
form of government. In discussing these
probabilities the prince is accustomed tc
declare that in his present state Of health
he could not cope with the difficulties 01
such at trying and momentuous situation.
Nor does he see any relief in abdication, for
t, he heir presumptive. the Duke of Clarence,
is himself lacking in physical strength and
not remarkable for mental powers, to say
nothing of his total inexperience in public
affairs.

The prince‘s friends are inclined tc
think that he is not really ill, and that ii
he could be induced to lead a more active
li ephysically he would regain his old time

fliuoyancy of spirits and confidence. On

‘thc other hand, however, it is argued by

the less sanguine that the insanity known
to be hereditary in the reigning family is
the origin of the prince’s mental peculiari-
ties.
A. Daring Female Burglar.

los'l‘ox, Feb. 27’.—Lizzie \Vithercll, aged
‘30. has been arrested in Cambridge charged
with burglary. The girl, who formerly
worked as a domestic in the house of Mrs.
Frank A. Colley, gained entrance to the
house by cutting out a pane in the base-
ment window. She proceeded to Mrs.
Colley’s bedroom and tried to chloroform
that lady, who awoke. The IVitherell wo-
man enforced silence by threatening to
shoot M rs. Colley, and taking $1,200 worth
of jewelry left the house. Mrs. Colley im-
mediately gave the alarm, and the girl
was arrested as she was about to board a
horse car. The jewelry vas all found se-
creted in her stockings. In court she was
held in $1,000 for the grand jury.

Senator ‘Vilson’s Funeral.

Wxsmxcrox, Feb. 27.—The special train
conveying the remains of Senator Wilson
of Maryland, left this city at 11 o’clock
Thursday for Snow Hill, Md. Accom-
panying the remains were Mrs. Wilson,
her son, two daughters, the senate and
house commit-tees, a number of members
of the Maryland house of delegates and
Sergeant-at-Arms Valentine, of the United
States senate, who has charge of the party.
Prior to leaving religious services were
held at the Hamilton house, the Revs
Doctors Bartlett and Butler officiating.
The interment will take place at Snow
Hill, Md, Friday.

Fardon “'ill Be Released.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Charles E. Fardon
the cause of the controversy between Gov:
crnor Hill, of this state, and Governor
Bulkeley, of Connecticut, will be released
from Essex market prison on Saturday
He still denies the burglary, claiming that
he left \Vaterbury because of his wife, and
insists that he will return voluntary to
answer the charge. His mother has re-
turned to Connecticut.

Three Men Frozen to Death.

HELENA, Mon, Feb. 27.—Five men were

lost in the mountains near Cut Bank, Mis-
soula county, last week. The bodies 01
two of the men have just been found, they
having been frozen to death.‘ A third man
was found alive, but so badly frozen that
he died, and the other two men have not
been heard from. All five were laborers
from Chicago.

HAGERSTOWN, 1nd, Feb. 27.——This vil-
lage, on the Logansport division of the

How the Accident Occurred.

The fast train between Chicago and Cin-
cinnati was coming down a steep grade
into the town, when the frame work of the
engine, NO. 494, in charge of W. W. Bart.
lett, engineer, and Noah Dunn, fireman,
broke and derailed every car. They passed
the station, however, and came to the
canal bridge, where there is a fifteen foot
fall, before the fatality occurred, and where
it came near proving even more terrible
than it was, as the cars caught fire, but the
fire was quickly extinguished.

The smoker first turned on its side. The
day coach and parlor car Eugenia, the
smoking compartment of which contained
all the killed, broke away from the smok.
ing car and rolled over twice in their de-
scent of the embankment. Meanwhile
the derailed baggage car. which had hung
to the engine, struck a guard at the road
crossing. again mounted the track, and es-
caped almost uninjured; but the engine,
though holding the rail, was about as
badly wrecked as the parlor car and day
coach.

ln leaving the track the cars tore down
the telegraph poles, and it was almost im-
possible. to get accurate news of the acci-
dent until the trains arrived here with the
dead and wounded. The wrecking crew
was sent from here as soon as possible,
carrying surgeons and assistance of every
kind, and a second train was sent up at 6
o’clock with a large number of people.

The scenes about the wreck were heart-
rending, the cries of the unfortunate vic-
tims mingling with the shouts of the res-
cuers, who were quickly on hand and did
heroic work. As fast as the injured were
taken from the wreck they were taken to
houses near at hand, where every atten-
tion was given to them until arrange-
ments could be made for their removal to
St. Stephen’s hospital at Richmond, all
of the injured that could possibly be moved
being,r brought here last evening.

The Dead Piled in 3. Corner.

Reeves, Needham and Case were killed
outright, the first having his neck broken
au.l the other two their skulls fractured.
'i':;:,-ir bodies Were piled together in the
comer. Deal was still living when re-
nmved from the wreck, but his skull was
fractured. He was removed to the house
of Mrs. Charles Casner, near the railroad
track, where he lived a few hours. The
engineer and fireman escaped unhurt, al-
though both clung to the engine to the
lust.

As to the cause of the accident the en-
gineer says that about three—quarters of
a mile from the town he heard something
break, and before he could control the
train the right side connecting rod broke,
and at the water tank, a quarter of a mile
further on, a piece of iron from the engine
fell across the track and derailed the train.
The ill fated train then rushed on to its
doom beyond the control Of the man at
the throttle.

The news spread in Richmond rapidly,
and in a short time the depot and streets

-leadingto it were packed with a mass of
people, so that it was next to impossible
for the police to keep the tracks clear for
the arrivalof trains.

A l’caccmakcr’s Awful Fate.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-—Last night May
Hanley, aged :23, a hard working woman,
whose father and brother Thomas have
long been known to the police as barrel
house habitues', was killed. She entered
the family lodgings just at the moment
when the father and son in a drunken
quarrel had drawn knives on each
other. Rushing between the infuriated
pair to make peace she received in
her left side the thrust aimed by the son
at her father’s heart. She fell unconscious
and bleedinng at her brother’s feet. He
dashed out of the house, only to be ar-
rested an hour later, almost at the exact
moment his sister died.

 

Wheat in Flames.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-—Counselman’s ele-
vator at Fifty-fifth street and the Santa
Fe railroad track was almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire, involving a loss of nearly
31009000. The building was a five story

 

structure and had a capacity of 200,000
bushels of grain. At the time of the fire
50,000 bushels bf wheat were stored in the
. building, and this was destroyed.

The Water Higher Than Ever and
Rising 3. Foot an Hour.

GREAT LOSS or PROPERTY.

The Destruction Threatens to Be Much
Worse Than at First Reported—Peo-
ple Can Be. Seen Camped on the
Hills—One House Standing.

YUMA, A. '1‘., Feb. 27.—The water at
Adonde, thirty miles east of Yuma, is ris-
ing one foot an hour, and is higher now
than ever, running into the telegraph
office. The flood is expected to reach
Yuma. . The relief committee is kept busy
assisting the sufi'erers.

News from the Gila valley indicates that
the loss is much greater than at first re-
ported. Telephone messages from the
government farm, eight miles east, say
that the employes were about to abandon
the place and camp on the hillside to es-
cape the water coming down. A telegram
from Texas Hill received here states the
people can be seen camped on the hills on
the north side of Gila, and one house can
yet be seen standing.

A great loss of property has surely fol-
lowed the flood in the Mohawk valley. No
communication can be had there, as the
river is too turbulent to cross. The resi-
dents of Aztec in Gila valley have all
moved to Mosas, many losing valuable
livestock and comfortable houses.

Last night the sky was cloudless, and
there \ 7as no sign of rain. A close watch
is being kept on the levees. The Indian
reservation across Colorado river is three
feet under water, but not much property
lost. The appeal of the Yuma relief com-
mittee is meeting with generous responses.

Fearful Destruction.

 

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Feb. 27.—~It com- 1

menced raining on Saturday night, and ‘

by Sunday night the streams were roar-
ing. The motor bridge over Lytle creek,
between San Bernardino and Colton, was
washed away on Monday morning. The
Whole expanse of country below San Ber-
nardino city was covered by the rushing
waters, and many families were compelled
to flee to higher ground. The school
building was carried oflt‘, ground and all.
The creek changed its natural course and
made entirely a new channel. Thousands
of dollars of valuable property was de-
stroyed.

Mr. Grosvenor on Sunday morning had
150 acres of highly cultivated land, and on
Sunday night only a quarter of an acre re-
mained. The Santa Fe railroad bridges
suffered greatly. On Monday morning 150
feet of the bridge between San Bernardino
and Colton were carried away, as were 350
feet of the bridge between this city and
Los Angeles. The motor and county
bridges over the Santa Ana river had the
approaches washed away for 150 feet.

The San Bernardino and Arrowhead
Motor company’s tracks have been washed
out for a long distance. In Canjon pass
the condition of things is the worst ever
seen in that section. Ten thousand feet of
the Santa Fe track between San Bernardi-
no and Barstow are obliterated, and four
trains are tied up between the two points.
The Southern Pacific bridge east 9f Colton
is in an impassable condition.

The county hospital, situated in the
western part of the city, was in danger,
twenty-five acres of the hospital grounds
being carried off. A number of houses
floated away, leaving the people homeless.
The damage to this county will be between
$300,000 and $500,000. The waters have sub-
sided considerably and the storm is over.

Two Persons Drowned.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb. 27.—The storm of
Sunday and Monday was the most severe
ever experienced in this section. The dam-
age to railroads leading from the city is
quite large, and it will be a week before
travel is resumed asit was before the flood.
The town of Tiajuana on the Mexican line
was totally washed away, except the Russ
hotel, which is so badly damaged as to be
of no further use. The Otay river broke
its banks and swelled Tiajuana river until
it flooded the entire country, sweeping
away stores, houses, cattle and everything
that came in its path. ,

Two persons are reported drowned at
Tiajuana. No other fatalities are report-
ed. At Ramona. twelve inches of water is
reported as falling during the storm. On
the Cuyamaca road several washouts oc-
curred, and the San Diego river bridge was
washed away. At Ensenada the rain did
considerable damage. The soap works on
the Ensenada river were washed away, but
no loss of life is reported. N o damage was
done in San Diego, although considerable
rain fell. and the wind attained a. velocity
of forty miles per hour.

The \Vork of Devastation.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 27.—Reports
continue to come in from the surrounding
country giving further details of the devas-
tation causedjby the recent floods. As these
reports are doubtless exaggerated, it is im-
possible to give an estimate of the losses,
but the amount will be considerable. It is
now thought that only four lives have been
lost—the \Vells family, three in number, at
Duarte, and Severano Lourane, near VVil-
mington.

The San Gabriel river formerly passed
down east of the town; it is now flowing
west and is twelve hundred feet wide. The
county bridge at San Gabriel has been
carried away, and a house swept down
near Downey’s. From the Ten Mile house
to the ocean there is a vast body of water
covering an area of ten miles wide and
fifteen miles long. Charles Watt’s family,

, supposed to have been drowned near

Downey, turned up all right. The Santa
Fe road to San Diego is in bad condition,
and may not be opened for a. week.
The Southern Pacific Blockade.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. %.—-The reports
now being received in regard to the block-
ade on the Southern Pacific in California
and Arizona are more encouraging than
those of the previous day. By to—night
everything is expected to be in running or—
der. At present all through travel be-

tween Colton and Los Angeles is blocked, '

as well as on the Santa Ana branch.

No trains have reached Los Angeles from
the east since Saturday night. Beyond the
Seven Palms the line is clear to Yuma.
The sale of tickets over the Atlantic and
Pacific has been resumed, the only obstacle
on that road being at Barstow, where the
bridge is gone. The passengers will be
transferred across the stream on the foot
bridge.

A Murderer Hanged.
Evlixsnuuo, Pa, Feb. 27.—Marsh, the

sweetheart Inurlcrer, was hanged at 1:58
o’clock Thursday afternoon.

Proceedings in the Senate and in the As-
sembly. ,

ALBANY, Feb. 27.—In the senate the fol-
lowing bills passed: Mr. Saniller’s, re-
appropriation for Syracuse armory; Mr.
Richardson’s, cruelty to animals amend-
ment; Mr. Linson’s, repealing the mort-
gage recording act of last year; Mr. Mc-
Naughton’s, appropriating $10,000 for re

Archbishop Croke’s Suggestion.
DUBLIN, Feb. Lit—In a published letter
Archbishop Croke advises that any Catho—
lic who imagines that the denunciation of
Parnell by the prelates was done to gratify
Gladstone should join some other church.

The archbishop says that Mr. Parnell has ‘7

forced the fight by his gross misconduct.
The priests are not bound to denounce Mr.
Parnell because the bishops did, and the
archbishop adds that he regards them in
the same light whatever course they may
take in the matter, though he does not see
how it is possible for them to support Mr.
Parnell.

Referee Cleveland Overruled.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.——The decision of
Grover Cleveland as referee in the suit of

Langdon against the city‘of New York, in- :

volving certain dock rights, has not been
affirmed by the general term of the su-
preme court. The decision awarded Lang-
don compensation for his property taken,
but excluded certain evidence as to dam-
age. The general term sends the case back
to the referee, with instructions to admit
such evidence.

frey, the wife of a poor mechanic, has re-
ceived notice of the death of John O’Neill,

er, though she was disowned for her hum-
ble marriage ten years ago.
