Serious Railway Disaster on the Mis- sour! Pacific. Kansas Crty, Mo., Nov. 7.—A special to Tue Srar from Sedalia, Mo., says train No. 3, west- bound on the Missouri Pacific, was wrecked by train robbers three miles east of Otterville. near the notorious Robbers’ Cut, at 40 this morning. The train consisted of seven 23s coaches. including mail. ex] and baggage. ne robbers had removed the spikes, boits and fish plates for a distance of three rail lengths and placed crowbars under the rails so that they would spread. When the engine touched the loosened rails it jumped the track, broke loose from the tender and ran 50 feet on the ties and turned, Fireman Lyons jumped and escaped injury. Enginer John Boyd stuck to his st and re- ceived a severe wound on the back of his head and had his hand badly cut. The tender turned across the track, throwing part of the mail car 30 feet to the side of the track. There wo four postal clerks in the car and all were slightly injured. J. D. McCarty, one of them, received a severe injury to his right leg. The baggage and express cars were com- pletely wrecked. Thesmoker, which was filled with passengers, was turned upside down and the car was badly smashed. Strange to say not one of the occupants was severely in- jured. The two chair cars jumped the ‘track. but did not turn Wer. The Pullman was the | only coach to remain on the track. The engineer had “stopped the train a short distance from the, wreck to make a repair on his engine, and the train was moving only abont eighteen miles an hour when the engine struck the loosened rails, to which is no doubt due the miraculous escape of the passengers and the train, pons Aa shin Tracing « Slate Writer’s Antecedents, Bostox, Nov. 7.—In a long article today the Held presents facts going t@ prove that W.

Cuicaco, Nov, 7.—The Matual Fire Insur- ance Company of Chicago made ap assignment for the benefit of creditors on Ontober 25 last, division of the Missouri, arrived in St. Paul yesterday and registered at the Ryan Hotel. The goneral was interviewed by a reporter, and in the course of a long conversation made some interesting statements regarding the causes and nature of the religious craze now existing among the Indian tribos of the west. “I have been out in Utah. Montana and the Cheyenne reservation,” said Gen, Miles, ‘in- vestigating this craze. You bave no doubt heard that the Indian tribes in the district I have mentioned are reported to believe that a Messiah has come, who is to restore them to their former glory, bring back the buffalo and drive the whites from the-land. I have learned that this belief existe among the various tribes of Sioux, Cheyennes, Blackfeet, Shoshones and other tribes. In all the craze has extetided to sixteen tribes. the Snake Indians being the only ones to repudiate ‘There is no doubt but that many of the Indians hoiding this belief in the Indian Messiah are sincere, and some few have certainly seen some person whom the; took to be that Messiah. Several small parties of Indinns have gone westward from their tribes to some point, which, as near as I can locate. is in Nevada, and there they have been shown somebody disguised as the Messiah, and heve spoken with him, I am inclined to believe that there is more than one person im- personating this Messiah, as when Sioux have spoken with him he has replicd in the Sioux language, and to Blackfeet he has spoken their tongue, and so on with the representatives of aecneiacs ae tribe, speaking their own lan- guage to each.” ‘Who do you think is responsible for this imposition upon the Indians?” ‘I cannot state positively, but it is my be- lief the Mormons are the prime movers in it, This is not a hard statement to believe, as there aro 200,000 Mormons and they themselves claim to believe in prophets and spiritual manifestations, and they even now cié.m te hold intercourse with the spirit of Joe Smith, Besides they have had missionaries at work among the Indians for many years and haye made many converts ” “Do you think this new belief of the Indians will lead to an outbreak and bloodshed?” “I do not think so, but where an ignorant race of people become religious tan: to tell just what they will do. It is noteworthy, however, that this so-called Messiah tells the Indians that when. he comes to reign over them firearms will no longer be used or necessary. He tells them also that with his coming the dead Indians will all be raised to life. the buffalo will return and he will draw aline behind on which he will gath th Indians and then he will roll the ea back upon the whites. This has naturally excited the Indians and large numbers have accepted the new belief. Among those who have done so none are more ardent than Sitting Bull, who is intensely Indian in all his ideas,” ‘Do you think that the person who is imper- sonating the Messiah 1s a white man or an In- dian?” “Those who have seen him say he is muffied up aud disguised so that they do not se¢ bis face, but I believe that he- is a full-blooded white. The argument the Indians use in dis- cussing the matter is that the whites have their Messiah and the Indians now have theirs, If itis reasonable for the whites to believe ina Messiah it is reasonable for the Indians to do so too, and it is as much their right to have an Indian Messiah as the whites have to have awhite Messiah. The situation is notalarming in any way, and I do not kuow whether any action will be taken by the government re- garding the matter until after [ have made my report,” ee alate Ex-Governor U’Neal Dead.

The.Commissioners FA WHAT MR HUME SAYS. Defeated but Not Disheartened—Votes Bought by His Opponent, He Says. Mr. Frank Hume did not look much like a defeated -candidate when a Stan reporter @ropped in on him this moraing. The droop- ing, ‘dejected look of the unsuccessfal man was entirely wanting. * “Ob, yes; I understand there has been an election lately,” remarked the late Virginia candidate. “I have been defeated, it seems, but don’t feel very bad about it. The election in the eighth Virginia district was simply a struggle betwoen two democrats and Gen. Lee will get the seat’ Ihave always been and will cont to be a democrat, and the fact that tho returns show majorities for me in the -demoeratic districts proves that the democrats of Virginia recognize that fact. I am especially proud of the um led vote which was given me in Alexandria city and couhty. My fight was not against the dem- ocratic party, but for the democratic party against a ecrtain ring which has gained con- trol. of that party. So far as the democratic vote in the district is concerned it will be seen that a big majority have voted for me. The re- = strongholds have been carried for jen. Lee, and by this means he is elected. INSTANCES OF FRAUD ALLEGED. “What about the fairness of tho election? Well, I don't want to say too much about that, Ever since the election Ihave boen in receipt of hundreds and hundreds of letters relating to some instances of fraud on Tuesday, I have been informed in the most positive manner that a very large sum of money was spent on ‘Tuesday by Lee's managers. When the polling commenced I am satisfied that the district was for me by 2,000 majority; but when the olls closed the situation had changed. ‘n the district voters were bought openly by the Lee men and the prices quoted, Among the colored voters in certain sections the reign- ing price was 5 per vote. Where did the Lee Money come from? Well, 5,000 was con- tributed on election morning by a Washington banker uud $2,000 came from an Alexandria merchant. No, I have no present intention of contesting the election.

Mr. Mills a Candidate for Speaker and Gen. Clark for Clerk. ‘Mr. Mills has sent a telegram announcing his candidacy for the spoakership of the next House, Gen. Clark of Missouri, who was the clerk of the House during the Forty-cighth, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses, has deciared his can- didacy for clerk of the next House. He was very popular as clerk before and will probably have little or no opposition. The friends of Mr. Mills argue that he is strong, because, as they say, he will have the influence of leading democratic Senators, Those Senators who have Speakership candi- dates in their own state delegations, it is said, are Lkely to quietly, if not openly, advance Mills’ interests from motives of personal policy. | Then it is claimed Mr. Milis has gained great strength by his active work in the campaign. ‘Mr. Mills wade a great many speeches in the west and each of the democratic Representa- tives whom he helped is likely to give him sup- port in the Speakership contest.

Indiana, he said, the republicans were well organized, but so were the democrats, and there was a third party in the field. Until full returns come in nointelligent compari be made with the votes of former years. All deductions made from the figures now in would be less. One cause of dissatisfaction, he said. was undoubtedly the tariff, as it was ingeniously worked by the democrats to the injury of the republicans. The Farmers’ Alliance was also # disturbing clement in Indiana and elsewhere, and until their vote was In no estimate of what Party cuffered the more from them could be tated, $ HOPES Fon 1892, Mr. Huston, while naturally disappointed at the result of the elections throughout the country, saw no cause for despondeney, and thought the republicans would recover by 1892. NATIONAL SOLDIERS’ HOME. The Annual Report of the Board of Commissioners. Maj. Gen. Schofield, president of the beard of commissioners of the National Soldiers’ Home of the Districtef Columbia, today sub- mitted to the Secretary of War the annual re- port of the board. The report snows that the number of men receiving the benefits of the home as resident inmates on September 30, 1890- was 750 and the number absent on out- door relief was 492, The nuniber of deaths occurring at the home was thirty-nine, including two inmates drowned in jake within the home grounds, Tbe number of in- mates who receive pensions shows a decrease of teen from the number reported one year ago, although 115 new pension certificates were received during the year. ‘The amount of money received during the year by the treasurer on account of inmate Pensions was $76,454, which, with $383,404 in the Treasury on September 30, 1890, made hiv accountability for this fand $109,859, Of this amount he paid over to pensioners and their legal heirs $65,566, and has transferred to the home fund €621, leaving in the Treasury #43,671. Me eaten fund of the home deposited in the Treasury of the United States is $2,348,529, The accounts kept with the farm and dairy show that the value of the products from the farm at regular wholesale market prices was $3,224 greater than ail expenses chargeable to that account; the value of tho dajry products $3,500 greater heyy “ae expenses of the dairy; while the garden count, which includes the f the care and improvement of the grounds, shows that the vaiuo of the products was less than the exper by €736, The board make no recommendations, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market. lowing are the oj ay and Camry hae | The fol the New York ‘Steck Markct, as repot Wire to Corson and Macartney, 1410 F atreot: ale expens xema_ | 0. | c \| Naroe, Atch 30 Bat 65s oe 19a] 1 En ts 102 “\1025)) pet is Eid Washington Stock Exchange.

The annual report of the inspector of asphalt and cements, Prof. Richardson, was submitted to the Commissioners today. During the year 13 specimens of crude asphalt were examined; 15 specimens of refined asphaltand 367 speci- mens of oiled asphalt and other specimens, ‘mounting in all to 4,133 examinations. He estimates that at least $500 will be required for unavoidable needs during the year. WELL-WATER EXAMINATIONS, The well waters examined during the past year have shown very much the same charac- teristics as those of previous years. Prof, Richardson says that of the wells examined during the year 71 percent of those in the northwest were either bad or suspicious; in the southwest all were bad or suspicious; in | the northeast 2 out of 3 were bad, and in the southeast 40 per cent were bad. In the county 70 per cent were bad. “This is certainly a bad showing for the wolls of the District,” says Prof. Michardson, “and might prove a dangerous thing in case of an epi- demic.” The only argument, he says, in favor of keeping the wells of the city open is the filthy condition of the aqueduct water and the high temperature which itreachesin the mains in summer, often 88 degrees, which is far from palatable to the poorer classes who are unable to purchase ice. During the 7 wells were filled up on account of the bad condition of the water, #1 were cicaned and 25 new pumps erected, AQUEDUCT WATER. Under this head Mr. Richardson says the water is very variable and at times inferior. He has made several examinations and found that it reached its worst condition February 17 and its best the middle of June. ‘The evi- dence of the analysis,” he continues, ‘shows that the aqueduct water carries frequently large amounts of vegetable organic suspension and solution and that greater op- pertunity for subsidence is demanded as a rem- edy.” The utilization of the upper reservoir after proper disposition of the drainage from its surrounding water shed, he says, would no doubt largely remedy the evil. Any system of filtration would probably be unavoidable, he continues, owing tothe fact that no loss of head can be allowed and because the expense would be extremely large, CONTAMINATION OF THE RIVER, At the request of the sewage commission, he Says, an examination of the waters of the Po- tomae and Eastern branch was made at diftier- ent states of the tide to determine the amount of pollution from sewage. The samples were taken in a way to illustrate the average condi- tion of the mass of watcpin the streams. The conclusion which the commission have dra’ he calls attention to. The water in the George- town channel is cleaner after the aeration of passing over the falls and settling at tide water than it is above the Great Falls. CEMENT INSPECTION. During the year, through the inereased facilities of storage, there has been a large increaso of the amount of testing. There were 241 lots inspected and 3,010 samples examined | during that period. j CONCRETE PAVEMENTS. During the past year the improvement in materials and methods of laying concrete pave- ments has been greater in the District than in | many previous years. This improvement bas | related principatly to the better class of crude | asphalt and the increased facilities for refining the same. SIDEWALKS FROM OLD SURFACES, In reference to the above he says the work- j ing over of old asphalt surfaces into material for street pavements has been a failure. This is due to mechanical and physical difficulties entirely. However, with’ proper mechanical devices, he says there is no reason why old sur- faces cannot be reworked. HERDICS DOING DAMAGE. In concluding his report Mr. Richardson em- phasizes the fact that the herdics do an ex- tremely large amount of damage to such of the streets as they travel, and as the street railway | companies are required to keep their Peters | of the streets in repair it seems reasonable that the herdic company should contribute a proper proportion to the paving of the streets over which their vehicles travel. gi sss arth se MR. KENNEY OF NEW YORK. Mr. Porter Declines to Consider Him as the Municipal Government. Mr. Kenney, who has been representing New | York city in the matter of the recount of the population of that city, an application for which was yesterday denied by Secretary Noble, has returned to this city. Today Mr. Kenney went tothe census office, where he | called or Superintendent Porter. He pre- sented to him the letter, referred to elsewhere, signed by W. McM. Speer. the secretary of the | mayor. This letter was simply a request made in accordance with section 23 of the census law, which is as folio “That upon the request of any municipal | government, meaning thereby the incorporated | governmen: of any town, village, township. or city, or kindred municipality, the #uperintend- ent of census shall furnish’ such government with a copy of the names, with age, sex, birth- place and color or race. of all persons enumer- | much experience with beer.” FOURD GUILTY. Verdict Against Johnson, tempted to Shoot Policeman Kenny. In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing- bam, today, Randall Johnson, a colored maa, was tried for an assault with intent to kill Officer Chas, Kenny on tho night of September vho Ate 27. G. M. Ambler appeared for the defendant It was testified that the policeman attempted te disperse a crowd on 19th street between L and M streets northwest and shoved tho defendant of the curb, when Johnson drew ao Pistol and fired at the officer, Kenny pursued Johnson, and it is alleged that the latter drew his pistol and opened fire on the pohcemaa, who returned it The defendant testified. that he and three other persons were quictly standing on the / Pavement when the officer camo along and dis- persed them and then started away, gc across the street; that he beard firing behind him, but he did not shoot in return, for he had ho pistol; that he was arrested the next night and did not attempt to esa! Officer Kenny, in rebuttal, testified that when they went to the house the prisoner ran from the front to the rear of the house, After short argumerits the case was submit- ted to the jury with a charge by the court & Verdict of guilty was Ame ad —_—— Fined for Selling Liquor to Minors.

Aft proof was in the. case was argued on the oo oflaw. The charge made under levy court ordinance, which prohibits the sale of liquors to minors except upon a written order from their parents, JUDGE MILLER'S COMMENT ON THE LAW. That law, the judge said, is much better than the city law. Commenting on the law and the question of an order from parents Judge Miller asked of what value an order was from persons who would send their children into # saloon for intoxicants? Gen. Carrington, spenking for his client, said that the object of the law was really to keep children out of saloons, where they might be subjected to temptation, As an illustration Gen. Carrington started out by sayi “Bup- pose sent my son or grandson for « bottle of er— ~But,” jinterrupted the court, “you would not send your sons to asaioon for beer and that accounts for your excellent children.” ONLY BEER. Gen. Carrington, continuing his argument, ‘said tha t im this case there was go whisky in- volved. it was only beer, and he proceeded to explain how harmless beer was when tho court, inverrupting, said: “I don't think you have bad “I dou't like beer,” remarked counsel, “I prefer whisky.” In conclusion Judge Miller said thatin cach instance the minor must be armed with a writ- ten order, and every t must be cromed amd every i dotted, and it was to be written as plainly and boldiy as the name of John Han- cock ‘on the Declaration of Independence. A fine of $30 was im da, Gen, Carry noted aneppal _— a The Judge Wouldn't Believe Them. “When Maj.
