THE OMAHA DalLy BEE SEVENTEENTH YEAR. SIX LIVES LOST IN A WRECK, A Milwankee Train Plunges Into a Bwollen Stream. THE BRIDGE WAS WASHED AWAY. Twenty-Five of the Passengers are Injured—More Bodies Supposed to be Benmeath the Wreck. Wreck on the Milwankee. New Hzmprox, Ta, April 8.—[Special Tel- egram to the Bee.]—One of the worst acel. dents that bas ever happened on the lowa & Dakota division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Bt Paul railroad occurred at8 o'clock this morning about three miles west of this city, A very heavy rain visited this section last night, swelling the rivulets into broad streams, and entirely submerging a greater part of the low lands, None of the streams showed such a remarkably rapid rise as the Middle Wapsie. At 1o'clock the river was within its banks, and about three hours later it had broken its banks and spread over the lowlands on either side, making an expanse of water fully three-quarters of a mile in width. The west-bound train, due here at 2:40, did not reach here until after 8 o'clock. Engineer J. W. Scagel received orders to go ahead and pulled out at 8:80. The train was composed of a bagwage and express car, two passenger coaches, one smoker and a sleeper. The passenger coaches were but fairly filled, but the smoker contained about forty men, women and children, most of whom were for- eigners. The night was very dark and it was impossible for the engineer to see any dis- tance on the track. The tramn had pulled over the first bridge and was a short distance {tom the main bridge when the engine struck a large cake of ice that had floated down the stream and had lodged directly across the track. The engne left the track and PLUNGED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT of about six feet mto the river. The tender tore loose and plunged ahead of the engin into the river. The smoker kept the track until it was thrown over on the tender, and rolling down the embankment was soon submerged in water. The two passenger cars left the track but were not badly wrecked, and none of the passengers were seriously injured. The sleeper was the only car left on the track. As the morning dawned the scene was most heart-rending. The shrieks of men, women and children were heard issuing from the cars, calling and begging for help. Those who were in the sleeper were the first to get out, and immediately they went to work to assist those in the two passenger cars, breaking through the windows and cvtting out the sides and bottom. In less than thirty minutes not a person remained in either of these coaches, and strange to say none were seriously injured. Meanwhile men from this city arrived on the scene and their attention was attracted to the smoking car. As the men approached it the SCENE PRESENTED BEGGARS DESCRIPTION. The car was almost entirely submerged with water, side upward. Men were soon on the top and the INJURED, DEAD AND DYING removed. As near as the conductor can re- member, when he passed through here there were in this car at least forty persons. The twenty-three who werg alive were lifted out and were comfortably provided for. From the bottom of the car five dead bodies hav already been taken out, and it is quite prob: blo that as many more remain in there or have floated away down the stream. All wreeking cars on the division, attended with a full complement of men, were on the scene atan carly hour and worked faithfully all day long. At 8 o'clock this evening work was suspended on account of darkness, the torrents of water rushing down stream ren- dering work difticult. Another crew will be on hand early in the morning und work will be rencwed.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT, Cnantes Ciry, Ia., April 5.—The wreck on the Chicago, Milwaiikee & St. Paul railroad some claim was caused by ice on the track, while others claim by the spreading of rails. The engine jumped the track first and the baggage car and tender plunged over the en- gine into the water. The smoker struck on top of the engine and was badly mashed.

Weather For Nebraska: THE MEMBERS HAD MALARIA, They Fillibuster Two Days on the Direct Tax Bill. AN HILARIOUS NIGHT SESSION. Senator Vest May Defeat the Omaha Public Building Bill—General Terry on the Retired List. The Direct Tax Bill Fight. WasniNeroN Burgau Tie OMana Bre, } 513 FOURTRENTH STREET, Wasnixaron. D. C., April 5. After two days of fillibustering on the di- rect tax bill, the house late this afternoon took a recess until 11:45 o'clock to-morrow morning. It 18 generally believed that at least two more days will be frittered away in this work, the house remaining in continuous session. There is a determination upon béth sides, and great ecarnestness 1s evinced in every move made. The opposition to the bill confined almost exclusively to ex-confeder- ates, and their votes aggregate from forty to forty-five upon the tests which have been taken. The fillibusterers’make no attempt to conceal their work., They openly declare that they will fillibuster until hot weather if they do not succeed in defeating the bill be- fore that time. They demand that an amend- ment be made to the bill to return to the south- ern states the cotton tax, which amounts to about sixty-eight millions, while the amonnt of direct tax that will go to the northern states which responded to the demand of the gov- ernment for war aid, amounts to only twenty millions, Of this sum Nebraska will get, under the provisions of the bill, 19,312, and Towa £384,274. The republicans say they are prepared to maintain their position for weeks if necessary, to succeed. General Herbert, of Alabama, who is chair- man of the committee on naval affairs, and who has a long confederate war record, ex- plained the basis of opposition to the direct tax bill this afternoon, when he said to me: ‘“We intend to fillibuster against this bill as long as we have physical endurance to hold out, if we cannot defeat it on the direct vote or get an amendment which will give us our cotton tax. The bill is the old Blaine scheme and takes money out of the southerners’ pocket and puts 1t into the northern states. It is a blow at tariff reform and is intended to injure the Mills bili.”” The house continued in session until 2:30 o'clock this morning. During the early hours of the morning there were some exciting and ludicrous scenes on the floor. Many mem- bers skipped away and went to their homes to bed about midnight, while others who re- mained stretched out on the sofas or snored in their chairs by their desks. Near 10’clock there was a call of the house, and the sergeant-at-arms and his deputies were sent out into the city to bring in the absentees. Half an hour later they returned and announced that they *Had Mr. Dougherty, of Florida.” When called upon for an explana- tion of his absence the latter said he had been suffering with “malaria.” “Malavia? oh come off 1" cried a member, and the house laughed. Mr. Dougherty explamed in addition *‘that he did not get his malaria out of a bottle, cither.” After being the re- cipient of a good aeal of badgering from the members he was excused, Mr. Rowland, of North Carolina, was excused _on account, of sicknes Then Mr. Allen, of Michigan, wanted to know if it would not be in order to let a gentleman from South Carolina go out with him.

Every absentee brought in was made a butt of some joke or sarcastic remark. As the “wee sma’ hours” approached the merriment and ilarity increased. The members who had mipted the divans were not allowed to , and the house was beginning o as sume the appearunce of a schoolboys’ play room when a recess till 11:45 was taken. 1t is the general belief that the bill will fin- ally be passed. Oukes of Alabama is the leader of the fillibusterers. Fis licutenants are Weaver of Tow: cekenridge of Ken: tucky, Blount of Georgia and Rogers of Ar- kunsas. THE OMATIA BUILDING BILL 1N JEOPARDY, It begins to look as though the Omaha pub- lic building bill may after all be dereated. It for four or five weeks been in the hands of a conference comiittee, of which Senator Vest of Missouri is a member. Vest refuses to permit the conference committee to act upon the vill till the house acts upon the bill now on the calendar making an appropriation for a building at Kansas City. He says the Kansas City bill will receive the same treat- ment in the house that the Omaha bill did, and that he wants them both acted upon af the same time by the same conference com- mittee, thus linking the two together, and making their fate one and the same. There are quite a large number of public building bills on the calendar of the house, and many more will be placed there within the next two weeks, While many of them have merit, some have very little, and are sure of defeat, The meritorious measures will have to_take chances with those having no merit, of course, and thus the Kansas City bill, which ought 'to become a law, may not be taken from the calendar and passed during this ses- sion, which, under the present condition of ngements, would defeat the ultimate e of the Omaha bill. It is unfortunate, affairs have shaped themselves as they have, that Senator Vest is on the conference committee, but Mr. Vest is a member of the senate committee on public buildings and grounds, and is in a position to dictate him- self upon this conference committee. In other words, he can _pull himself and his bill through or defeat others, and it is known that Le intends doing s0; that if tho Kansas City bill is not passed the Omaha bitl cannot be passed. With the approach- ing debate upon the tariff bill, which will lust until the end of May, and the flood of accumulating business which must be at- tended to before congress adjourns, the out- look for the Omuba public building bill at this time is not cheerful, and especially in view of the attitude assumed by Senutor Vest. together NEWSPAPER PAKERS. The severe punishment meted out to young Hopkins, the callow newspaper correspond- ent who recently sent the infernal machine to Chief Justice Waite with a view to selling sensational accounts of it to the inhabitants of newspaper row, seems to have not had that moral influence it was iutended to have, Late last night another newspaper *“fake" visited the correspondents with a proof sheet of a lengthy acconnt of “A Personal Adven: ture of the President.” He disposed of the matterto a numberof c espondents in news- paper row, at the usual space rates, and it was sent out to the country, The story was to the effect that a lady,” while horse- back riding in the vicinity of 'Red Top was rescued from a perilous position by Presi- dent Cloveland and Secretary Fairchild, who were also horseback riding; that her horse Lecame fracticus aud while plungivg sbout in a frightful manner, the chief exccutive and the financial secretary of the govern- ment sprang to er assistance, subdued the animal and lifted the lady from the saddie, aving her lifo and hazarding their own lives, It was a well written story and would merit a series of headlines in the Bungtown Bugler. This morning it developed that there was not the t atom of founda- tion for the story. The lady went horse- back riding; that was all there was to_the whole romance, There is an army of fakers in Washington now who are offering their services to the press, and who would be a discredit, to any kind of business or pro- fession. GENERAL TERRY PLACED ON THR RETIRED LIST, To-day President Cleveland approved the report of the army retiring board submitted yesterday, recommending Msjor General ‘Alfred Terry for retirement, and the name of the gallant_veteran goes upon the retired list at once. ‘There is a good deal of specu- lation in army circles to-night about when the vacancy caused by the retirement of General Terry would be filled, and who would be called to fill it. The predictions made in the Ber's specials and editorials seem at this time fo have been well made, General Crook continues to be spoken of more frequently than any other officer, while the name of General Hatch is also coming in for much mention from those who are Yoll posted on armyj affairs, Genoral Hatch stands very high in Washington in army, congressional and dlvil circles, and his pro- motion at this time may be no surprise, although General Crook scems to have the call, The vacancy, it is thought, will soon bo filled, as it creates @ good deal of uneasincss, and the longer it remains open the more coy Plicated will become tho_ president’s annoy- ance. EMILED WITH THE PRESIDENT. Fleet Wolf and Hound-that-bays, Chip- pewa Indians, are 1n the city and called to sce the president yesterday afternoon in re- ard to some land. claims they have pendin, in the departments. Mr. Cleveland receiver them very cordially and talked to them at length. The Indians use the English lan- uage very well, and when they arose to cave they looked anxfously about the room for the sideboard, which, not being in sight, moved one of them to suggest that they sometimes took fire-water with government officers. The president smiled and ordered the doorkeeper to admit no one for a few minutes. Then he walked mto a side room and got a_demijohn of whisky and threc glasses, When they were well silled they touched glasses and drank heartily. The Indians are solid for President Cleveland and a second term. It is believed that all the Indiaps who visit Washington will call upon the president and inquire for that dem- ijohn. +" AVAILADLE RIVER AND ITARROR FUNDS, The secretary of war has sent to congress a statement showing the amount available for river and harbor improvements at differ- ent points in the country November 1, last, when there was a suspension of work for the winter. _Among thejitems are the following: For the Missouri river, from Sioux Cit Fort Benton, 82,4773 Mississippi river, from St. Paul to Des Moines rapids, through Towa, §104,576; Des Moines rapids, Missis- sippi’ river, Towa and Illinois, $26,228; i harbor at Dubuque, §4,503. THE FORTS ROBINSON 'AND NIOBRARA DILL. Representative McShane said to-day that he was making diligent efforts to get the bill appropriating_money for the repair of Forts Robinson and Niobrara, now on the calendar up before the house, and if he succeeded is confident of its immediate passage. In view of the outlook, however, there is little en- couragement. ' The bill can be passed if it can get_consideration, but everything is so blocked in the house now that a great deal of meritorious legislation must be perished. A PENSION FOB MRS, PAINTER. Tn the senate to-day, after considerable trouble, Scnator. Paddock ~succeeded in having ' the rules suspended, and then he called up the house’ bill for' the relief of Nettie K. Painter.. ‘The bill, as it came from the house, providea $18 a month as a pension to Mrs. Painter, forservices as nurse in the late war, Mr. Paddock’s amendment in- creases the amount %o $25. By a close vote the bill as amended ‘was passed and a con- ference committee appointed. The senate bills for the relief of Mrs. Painter and Mrs. Howe awarded each $25 per month. They are in the house gommittee on pensions awaiting action. OPLEANS WANTS A PENSION DOARD. A petition was received to-day from the citizens of Orleans, Neb., asking that a board of cxamining physicians be appointed by the pension department to deal with cascs al ng in that section of the country.

If They Wed the Chancellor In- tends to Resign. PASTEUR AND HIS PATIENTS, Chamberlain’s Treatment-Marriage of a Well Known English Yachts- man—The Crown Prince Said to Be Improving. Bismarck About to Resign. Beruiy, April 5.—~The Cologne Gazetto publishes an article, saying a great deal of excitement previ in diplomatic circles over the possibility of a speedy resignation of Bismarck because of the proposed marriage of Prince Alexander of Battenberg and Trincess Victoria of Prussia, The bearing of the reports is 80 serious they cannot be passed over. Until the Bulgarian question shall be settled the projected marriage, from a political point of view, is an impossibility. In the Bulgarian question Germany must, in accordance with declarations made by Bismarck, remain wholly an uninterested party. Confidence in Germany, the Gazette asserts, would be disturbed in an instant if the czar’s most detested antagonist were to become the son-in-law of Emperor Frederick, The article adds that the intelligence of Prince Alexander is highly esteemed; that it is Imsoulblo for him to attempt a suit which would_assuredly cost the German peoplo their chancellor. Public opinion in Berlin is in favor of Bismarck. Bismarck had a long conference this after- noon with the emperor. The crown prince and the Grand Duke of Baden also had inter- views with his majesty. A strong affection has existed between Alexander and the Princess Victoria for sev- eral years. The late emperor opposed the match, but it is believed that Emperor Frederick and the empress look on it with favor. The result of the long conference of Bismarck with the emperor to-day is said to be that the marriage has been postponed and Bismarck retains his position. Loxpoy, April 5.—A dispatch received here to-night confirms the report that Bis- marck is about to resign from the German chancellorship. It is reported Count Herbert Bismarck will also resign A Visit to Pasteur. | Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panis, April 5.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to the ¥ Yesterday wasa very important day in the wolf-biting case of Mr. Chamberlain, of Texas, The Herald reporter who had been commissioned to watch every symptom, went to Pasteur institute, accom- panied by Dr. Spohn, Dr. Wabod of Mau- chester, Dr. Oscar Jennings, Mr. H. Crevel- ing und several other gentlemen, who were allowed to be present to see the inoculation by special privileges. Mr. Chamberlain ar rived with his brother shortly before the ap- pointed hour. He shook hands cordially with his friends, and was much brighter than on the day of the first inoculation, heretofore described in the Herald. He said: *I feel in a higher moral tone than when I came to this city. I have will power, or, as we say in Texas, plenty of ‘sand in my craw.’ I hope now to go home safe and sound, and not lay my bones at Pere Ia Chaise, to which I have been taken as one of the sights of Paris.” ‘‘How do you feel?” “Never better. Ihave had a few of those nervous fits, to which the Herald hasalrcady referred, but which are simply attacks of pseudo-hydrophobia. Tshall never be able to show gratitude enough to Dr. Spohn, who, even upon nerve principles, has probably saved my life. Yesterday was my first taste of pure water since my bite. I enjoy myself rationally. I have been to the theater and all sorts of sensible amusement. There has welled up in my heart a great belief in the Pasteur treatment.’? At this moment Mr. Chamberlain’s num- per was called, and he went up for his hypo- dermic injection. “You sce,” he said “there is no difference between rich and poor here. I am mnot like Lord Daneraile, who wanted M, Pasteur to go to him. Here I stand proud and happy among ‘hewers of wood and drawers of water.’ They talk to me about the mistakes of the French government, All I can say is that they have done one thing splendidly. Not one penny is paid by anybody here, and I, who would pay anything to that dear good man who has so bencfitted humanity, am simply told that nothing is required.” After the clinique ended, M. Pasteur, who, as usual, received the Herald reporter graciously, said: “I wish you would tell my friends in America how grateful I am to them. I unbosom myself to you freely, and I would like to tell you something about my enemies, As rey s Dr., Peters: It is simply professional jealousy; it is something more than that, for he is connccted with me by marriage; he has started a crusade against me for his own purpose,” “‘Amongst other things, the doctor has said that you have been the efficient cause of rabies in certain stages.” “1 know that as well as you, but how does he prove it. In the Siene department every effect hus been made to discover the truth, and there is not a single case of hydrophobia the result of my treatment. It is s0 easy to make these accusations and 80 hard to disprove them. The same remark applies to Henri Rochefort, All his articles against me simply result from the fact that I voted for Paul Bert as a mem- ber of the academy of sciences,” Asked on the subject of Turkish baths as an adjunct to his treatment, M. Pasteur re- phed: “If the hot air system be adopted as the sole remedy, I strongly oppose it. On the other hand, T cannot fail to recognize that the cure comes from Russia and may help out my treatnent, but do remember that hydrophobia is & sort of nightmare which has provoked many cures. We have the omelette, the mystical Saint Hubert, and all sorts of nostrums, As far as perspiration goes, I certainly believe that hot air baths are useful, but inoculation must precede and accompany them, As regards Mr. Chamber- lain, we must only go on hoping, his case is most interesting; he has done well to come to me, and heaven grant we may send him back to America safe and sound, and a liever in my poor efforts in the cuuse of humanity.” The Crown Prince’s Condition, (Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.| NDON, April 6.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee,|—This morning the Hritish Medical Journal, a high pro- fessional authority, prints a speci from Berlin, with comments says: “The emperor of Germany is going on most satisfactorily, The diseuso appears quiessant. There s mno sign of spreading and the glands are mot in the least involve His general health is excellent aud his appearance shows no trace of illness or suffering except his hair is become gray. The position which Sir Morell took up from the first, that no rad- ical surgical weasures were advisable, ap- pears now to find more favor among the medioal profession of Germany than has béen the case till lately.” The -disas- trous results of everal . case in which similar operations bave - recently been performed seem to have opened men's eyes to the magnitude of the risk to which the imperial patient would have been exposed but for the intervention of the Eng- lish physician. Herr Kayser, & prominent member of the reichstag, died a few days ago immediately after half of his larynx had been cutout by Prof. Von Bergman for cancer. Eleven other patients on whom that distin- guished surgeon has performed this severe operation have died. Dr. Eugene Hahn, who hitherto has been the most successful op- erator in that line, has been equally unfortu- nate in his last two cases.” The Journal, commenting, adds: “Only the other day an operation of the same kind peiformed by a leading London surgeon ro- sulted in the death of the patient on the fol- loing day. In private one hears whispers of similar cases, which are never heard in public. Theso facts, in our opinion, quite in- dependently of any reasons peculiar to the case, go far to justify the course that has been adopted by Sir Morrell Mackenzie. He was to have returned to London on Tuesday next, but we understand in compliance with the urgent request of the emperor, he post- poned his departure from Berlin for a short time.” A Yachtman's Marriage. [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett,| LoxpoN, April 5.—[New York Merald Cable—Spectal to the Bee.)—Sir Richard Francis Sutton, baronet, who in 1856 was tho guest of New York yachtsmen, was this morning married at St. Peters, Eaton square, to Constance Edith, daughter of Sir Vincent Rowland Corbet, a Shropshire baronet of an- cient lineage and large estates. Sir Richard left Buckingham palace hotel with his best man, Mr. Edward Brooks, about the same hour when the brido attended by her father, drove from 88 Onslow square, the residence of her aunt, Lady Cust, whose guests they were. Sir Richard wore the regulation Prince Albert coat, mouse colored trousers, white vest and blue knot scarf. She worea dress of ivory satin en tramn, with no trimming be- yond the drapery of the heirloom lace, with aveil to correspond. Her ornaments were diamonds and the bouquet was of white lila The large crowd outside the church cheered her as she entered it, for she is strikingly beautiful, just of age, and a tall, graceful blonde. She was met by her seven bridesmaids, who, preceded by the curate and choir, escorted her to the chancel, that was bright with April sunshine and spring flowers. There Sir Richard, shy and modest as usual, received her from her father. The families on each side being in mourning, the invitations had been limited. Nevertheless their friends were preseut in full social and fashionable force. The bridesmaids included two sisters of the bride, two sisters of the bridegroom and three of her cousins. They wore white silk polonaise, made and trimmed with gold, white straw bonnets tiimmed with white lilacs and carried bouquets of violets and lilies of the valley. Each wore a diamond broach, true lover's knot shape, the gift of S Richard. The uncle of the bride, a distinguished canon, and her cousin, a_ well known viear of the Bridgeman family, officiated. The organ and choir music was not of the stereotyped kind, but original and effective. After ad- journing from the attestation ceremony inthe vestry, @ large number of the guests drove to Lady Cust's mansion, and at the wedding breakfast “quite many a guardsman and yachtsman” wished Sir Richard and his bride a happy voyage of wedlock. Soon after they left for his seat at Benham park, Berks. When she was going away her dress was of electric blue silk, with traveling bon- netto correspond. It is expected that a portion of the honeymoon, while all England ing, will be passed upon the yacht Affairs in Ireland.
