Both Houses Adjourn Sine Die at Nominal Noon Yesterday <A Num- ber of Measures Lost and Won ~Hilari Finish, Des Morxes, April 2.—In the senate the session was devoted to considering house messages, the witnessing of the signing of bills by the president, and the adoption of complimentary resolutions to the officers of the senate. The bill ap- propriating 81,600 for the education of Kate Shelly was lost. A bill passed giv- ing the veto power to mayors of first and second cluss cities. A bill was passed establishing the terms of the Pot- tawattamie circuit court at Avoca.

The clock was stopped at ten minutes before 12, and when the house committee announced that that body was ready to adjourn, and the work of the senate was completed, prayer was oftered by Senator Marshall, and at ten minutes past 1 by actual time and one minute past 12 by the senate clock, Governor Manning de- clared the senate adjourned sine die. In the house thebill passed appropriat- ing 81,600 for the education of Kate Shelly; also to regulate tho sale of illum- inating oils; also the general appropria- tion bill to meet judicial expenscs and the expensos of the general assembly. The bill to locate the supreme court at Des Moines was defeated by a tie vote of 27 to 47. At last night's session Speaker Wolf was presented with a fine gold watch and chain valued at 8250; Chief Clerk Fos- ter with a beautiful bronze clock, his two assistants (Rice and Weaver) each re- ceiving a fine silver watch. The closing hours of the session were marked by that hilarity and uproarious- ness that always characterize tho last night and day of the general assembly. Ten minutes before the final adjourn- ment was devoted to good-byes and speeches, in which Messra. Weaver, Dab- ney, Merrill, Russell, Kerr and others distinguished themselves by some fine flights of oratory. The house also voted to the speaker aud chief clerk the chairs they have used during the session. The state house is deserted and dark to-night, and a large majority of the members de. parted for their homes. e — Coolly Awaiting the Gallows. New York, April 2.—Young Theo- dore Hoffman, who was sentenced to be hanged on April 18 at White Plains, maintains the flippant air assumed by him when he entered the jail fourteen mouths ago. The death watch is kept upon him day and night, but he tells yarns of his personal adventures which nobody believes, and laughs and chats with visitors. He jestingly refers to his coming execution, when the subject is mentioned, as though it were an incident worthy of only a passing thought. Determined to Plead Guilty. Lacoxia, N. H., April 1.—Thomas Sa- | Y. mon was arranged yesterday for the mur- der of Ruddy family and Mrs. Ford, in Laconia, last fall. ~ His assigned counsel announced that Samon was determined to plead guilty of murder in the first de- gree; that Samon declared that it would not be just for him to escape the scaffold. As counsel could find no evidence of in- sanity on the prisoner's part he there- fore advised the court to receive Samon’s plea of guilty, After a medical exam- nation of Samon the trial will proceed. ———— Outraged an Octoroon. LeavesworrH, Kan., April 1.—Three young men named Ratchford, Fitzgibbon and Malooney, a little after midnight last night, forced an entrance into the home of Mrs. Taylor, on Pottawatamie street. Here they seized an octoroon, aged 18, and ravished her. Two of the brutes were arrested before daylight, and the third was captured early this morn- ing by the police. The yeung men all belong to well-to-do families, B e Shooting Affray at Dubuque. Dusuque, Ia., April 1.—The proprie- tor of the Sheppard skating rink was as- saulted lasc night by a party secking ad- mission without paying. Thereupon Mr. Sheppard fired a pistol at the assailant, the hall missing him and passing through the lobe of the ear of a boy, Dick Hell- er’s non, standing in the crowd. Sheppard was urrested and lodged in jail. e A Candidate for Congress Suicides. HunsMax, Tenn., April 2. Captain Wm. H. Robinson, democratic candidate for congress in the Eighth Alabama dis- trict against Gen Joo Wheeler, commit- ted suicide at Scottsboro, Ala.,last night, by sticking a penknifo in his heart.

Hamivron, Ont., April 2 —A large swallow, which appeared to be disabled, was captured in the gardin of G. W. Johnson here.

LAMENTED ALBANY, ¥ alof the orite Prince ~His Manly and Moral Oharacter. Caxnes, April 1.—The Prince of Wales and forty distinguished persons were presont at the funeral servioes of the Duke of Albany. The train contain- ing the body started for Oherbourg with military honors and salutes from guns, The London journals devote eight col- umns apiece to accounts of Albany's life and death and the demonstrations of public grief abounding in details, which aro really interesting to the English peo- ple with whom he was more popular than any other of the queen’s sons excepting perhaps the Prince of Wales. Prince Leopold in generally believed to have led an orderly and studious life. He was liked at Oxford and was a thor- oughly capable man, He was wil- ling to make good speeches whenever ho was asked. He evinced interest in art and was valued for his literary cul- ture, and his sympathy with those about and below him in rank. He was a good landlord vna small scalo and an easy master, His marriage with the Princess Helena of Waldeck being understood to be a love-match, further endeared him tc domestic people, who have rejoiced since the coremony in the absence of scandal about their favorite. A recent letter from Cannes said that he was never in better health, but his physicians have always known that death was possible at any moment from congenital weakness of the blood-vessels of tho skin. His death upsets all special arrange- ments, postpones the marriage of the queon’s granddaughter, aud prevents the queen’s journey, which was fixed for Monday week. It also cancels diplo- matic and many other dinner parties. It called the prince of Wales away from the races at Liverpool, where he had just witnessed the defeat of his horse, the favorite for tho grand national steeple- chase. It throws this and nearly every foroign capital into ofticial mourning. Sympathy with the duchess of Albany KANSAS SALOONS, The War of Prosccution Continues— Atchison in Law, Arcnrson, Ka., April 1.—The liquor prosecutions continued during last woek before R. B. Drury, and excitement grows greater hour by hour. So far but two jurors have been secured out of one hundred business men and citizens sum- moned by the constable to test their qualifications, all being excused for hav- ing formed an opinion. The two ju- rors chosen have been alone ac- cepted by the state, tho defense having made no challenger To add to the excitement, papers in quo warranto proceedings ot the state of Kansas against the city of Atchison were placed in the hands of Sheriff Hargrave tc-day and served upon Mayor Burnes, the an- swor mado returnable to the supreme court April 3. This is to prevent the city government from collecting the special licenss tax imposed on saloon-keepers, which permits their selling soda and min- eral waters and other drinks, As city’'s main revenue comes from this source, having some forty-five saloons, cur affairs will be run on the low-pressure plan indefinitely. ———— .

New York, April 2.—Rumors are cir- culated here to the effect that Commie- sioner Fink has ordered an advance on He was as cool as a cucumber, though I expected to see him killed, and was so excited I could not speak. Well, air, when the leaders had got within about a quarter of a mile of him 1 saw them try to alack up, though they could not do it very quick. But the wholo herd seemed to want to stop, and when the cows and stecrs in the rear got about where the ocowboy had cut across their path I was surprised to see them stop and commeonce tonibblo at the grass. Then the whole herd stopped, wheeled, straggled back and went to fighting for a chance to oat where the rear guard was. You see, that cowboy had opened a big bag of salt he had brought out from the ranch to givo the cattle, galloped across the herd's course and emptied the bag. Every crit- ter sniffed that line of salt, and, of course, that broke up the stampede. But I tell you it was a ueer sight to see that cuss out thero on the edge of that bluff quiet- l{ rolling a cigarette, when it seemed as if he'd be lying under 200 tons of beef in about a minute and a half.” — ADY WHISTLERS, The Art By Which They Reduce Their Mouths aud Give Their Tongues Play, YOUNG New York Herald, The familiar air of “The Mocking Bird"” whistled through West Forty-sixth stroot yosterday morning, but the music was not that of tho flute, the flagolet, the piccolo, the clarionet or the fife. A reporter of The Herald, who was passing along tho street, stopped to listen, for, save a protty young lady standing on a door step, no one was in sight. Still the twittering and bird like solo continued to vibrate down the block. It was the young lady who was whistling, and the reportor took tho libotty of exprossing his astonishment to her. “Were you whistling?” ho inquired of the young music maker. *‘The young lady smiled, turned three difficult corners in the tune, worked in a e ———————— the life of a car wheel was estimated at eight yoars, but the reduction of the rail- roads generally to the standard gauge, and the improvements in loading and unloading facilities have mnh\rinlfy de- oreased the length of service that a wheel may be depended upon to perform, The uniformity in gauge keeps cars in more continuous use, while the decrease in time of loading and unloading enables them to be put to more active service oven where they are run only on short local routes “These figures do not include the wheels on palace coaches and the bettor class of passenger conches.

She first denies all the allegations contained in her husband’s aflidavit, and then says : “The statement that deponent had to stay away nights from the house m Har- lem to look after his customers 1 believe and charge to be false.

He is a won- derful musician,” ““Then whistling will make the mouth small?” “Why, of course it will. A girl that has a four inch mouth can reduce it to throe inches by a regular course of study. Besides the puckering of the lips makes them fuller and gives them a nicer color.’ “How long does it take to dock an inch off an ordinary sized mouth?”’ asked the reporter, “Oh, I don't know,” was the answer, “‘a girl must never sing, use large tooth brushes, or take big bites out of apples. Then if she practices all the time when she is in the houso she will probably re- duce the size of her mouth in about two years. Why,I can whistle everything,even scientific sacred music, and you see how small my mouth is, 1t is differentifrom singing in a choir. The overture from “Zampa” 1s perhaps the most difficult selection in my repertoire. It requires 80 much active tongue movement.

A WA Trip of 100 Miles in Two Hours and a Half Without an Engine, Lincoln Journal, An incident which we believe has never had a parallel in railroad history occurred on last Thursday on the B. & M. railroad between this city and Denver. Were it not that the story comes from the most reliable source, we would unhesitating] ronounce it canard. But we have it rom & source which is a guarantee of ita correctness, At any rate, it is a matter of record and can easily be verified if true and disproven if it is false, It will be remembered that on Thurs- day there was a wind which amounted al- most to a tornado here and was worse west of us. At Akren it unrcofed the round-house and did some other damage. About b o'clock in the evening, when the wind was at its strongest, 1t started a train of eight bex cars, loaded with coal, that were standing on the side track at that place. Two braken were set, but they were not enough to hold it, and it ran through the split switch without be- ing derailed, and started east, The track was nearly level where the train started, but there is down grade this side of Akron, The wind was so strong that it took the train more rapidly than the passenger trains ever the line move, even on the level track, and when it reached a down grade of course the speed became something fearful. The operator at Akron noticed the run- away train soon after it broke loose, and sent tho alarm down the line, Every- thing was ordered side-tracked, and the crazy traia had the right of way. The Cannon ball train, going toward Akron, was only two stations away when the meesage to side track came, and it had only been on the side track a short time, variously estimated at from two to five minutes, when the engineless train came thundering along. Marvellous as it may seem, those run- away cars ran one hundred miles, passing eight stations over a track which is for a great part of the distanco almost level, with no propelling power but the wind and their own inertia. They ran the 100 miles in less than three hours, and sta- tion agents and others who witnessed the strango train held their breath with awe as it whirled by at the rate of nearly a mile a minute. It passed Haiger at the rato of forty miles an hour and is said to have run the twenty miles of down grade this side of Akron in eighteen minutes. At Benkleman, 956 miles this side of Akron, a freight was standing on the side track. As the runaway train passed the engineer ran his engine out with a vrakeman on the tender to make the coupling, and gave chase. It was an ex- citing chase, but the engine, which brought to the aid of the wind the power in the steam cheats, soon closed the gap between itself and the flying train, About half way between Benkleman and Max the fugitive was overtaken, the coupling successfully made, and the cars, after pulling the engine some distance, brought to a standstill. It was certainly a remarkable runaway, and we do not believe the annals of any railroad will show a parallel to to it. R T Who Osman Digma Is, Suakim Cor, London Times. Osman'’s Digma's whole relation to the revolt and the amalgamation in him of religious, political, and mercantile aspira- tions are hard to camprehend. A broker and trader, and principally a slave trader in Suakim and Jeddah, he received a se- vere financial blow, when, some, six years ago, a British cruiser captured two slave-dhows full of victims, on the way to Jeddah. Osman Digma's trade then fell from bad to worse, his house proper- ty in Suakim was all mortgaged, and he became hopelessly involved. Being of no great distinction by birth, his selec- tion by the medhi to lead a_religious re- bellion in these parts is not in accordance with the structore of Arab society and feeling, and is attributed to the accident that Osman Digma, in one of his incur- sions far south for slaves, met the medhi, who formed & high estimate of his abilit; and of his influence, acquired throug successful trading. If this history be trustworthy, passions for other objects than holiness are the key-note of Osman Digma’s character and wotives, and it is against all probatilit; that he will cast his gouds and his posi- tion into_the broken balance of battle, Hois no ignorant fanatic, and he can not himself believe the .uytha which he mul- tiplies in order to control his followers.
