= FATAL TAIL-END COLLISION. A Froight Train Crashes Into a Pas- soenger Near Ohicago. FOUR PEOPLE KILLED OUTRIGHT. The Private Oar of Director Hart, of the California Central, De- stroyed and its Inmates are the Sufferers. A Train Dispatcher's Blunder. Ciiieato, April 10.—Partial dotails of an nccident which occurred on the Chicago, Santa Fe & California railroad near Joliet this morning have been received here. It resulted from a collision between a passen ger and freight train. Three persons were ~killed outright and several were more or less injured. The killed are Mr, and Miss Hart of Brookline, Mass,, “and the engineer of the freight train, J. L. Hart, father of the two passengers who were killea, was fatally hurt, The ‘bodies have been brought to this city, The following is another account of the accident: The regular east- bound train was just leaving Lorenz station, which is fifty miles from Chicago at 4:30, when the accident oceurred. Attached to the rear of the train was the orivate car of J. F. Hart, mayor of Brook- ine, Mass., and dircctor of the California Central railroad, The party in the car con- sisted of Mr. Hart and his wife, his son Henry, his neice, Miss Winslow, the porter, known only as Harry, and the cook, named Thomas Smith. Just as the train was pull- ing out of the station, an extra fast stock train following, ran into the rear of the passenger train at a good speed, demol- ishing the private car and damaging the freight engine so that large quantities of steam escaped, scalding thoso who had es- caped from the effcots of the crash, As soon as the wreck could be cleared to allow the removal of the dead and wounded, they were found to be as follows: Killed—Miss Winslow, Henry Hart, the porter and cook. Scalded—J. F. Hart and his wife, The engincor and fireman of the freight train jumped and escaped injury. None of the cars except that of Harts was serously damaged, and none of the passengers in the oth conchies hurt. It is impossible as yet to lo- cate theblame for the accident. The dead and wounded were put upon the train and Dbrought to this city. The bodies of the dead were taken to an undertaking establishment and the wounded were conveyed to Mercy hospital, whero they now are, ‘The passenger train was running on time, and the extra freight, through some inexcus: able error of the train dispatcher, was al- lowed to follow. At Loronzo the grade is very steep, and the engineor of the extra saw that the 'train’ was unmanageable just as he perceived the tail lamps of the passenger. He whistled for brakes, but it was too late. His engine crashed into the privato car, driving it upon the steps of the Pullman car ahead. In addition to being scalded, J. L. Hart had both legs broken. Henry W. Lamb, also in the private car, was scalded bout tho face and body. Palmer, a freight brakeman, was hurled over the freight en- gine into a mays of debris and escaped with a scalded face and horribly burned hands. John Bynder, ‘engincor of the passenger train, was severely hurt. Tho fireman on the passenger train said: “We are not to be blamed for the accident, It was pitch dark when the crash came. Wo were running on time, but the freight was an extra. The freight’ engine ran right through the last coach and then the boiler burst. The cries of the dying and injured were simply awful, The boiling water had been thrown over them and they were terribly scalded. The ~akeman and fireman of the freight must have jumped, because they were not fataily injured.” ‘Another ncoount says the engincer of the frelght train was crushed to a pulp against the boiler head. It is very difficult to get ac- curate and reliable information about the ac- cident, as the railroad people are very reti- cent. The wrecked coach was the private car of General Manager McCool, of the California Central “road, the western branch of the Santa Fe. The occupants were a party of MecCool's friends from Massachusetts who had been spending a few weeks with his family at Los Angeles and weroe returning home. It was stated by one of the trainmen that a number of wounded persons were left at Lorenzo. ey FISHER-BLOOM, Marriage of a Well-Known Omahan at fowa City. Towa City, Ta., April 10.—{Special Tele- gram to Tis Brg.|—One of the most bril- Hlant social affairs in this city took place in the marriage of Mr. Simon Fisher of Omaha, to Miss Addie Bloom, daughter of Hon.

A Brutal Fari Fixoray, O., April 10.—[Special Telogram to Tur Den]—Thomas Bergel, a farmer in Union township, was awakenod yesterdny morning by the noise of a struggle on the porch in front of his house. Going out he found his mastiff had attacked o tramp who had been_sleeping on the porch, and was rending the unfortunate man's throat.

T, April 10.—The fishing schoonor Cumberland, which arrived here yostorday after a stormy passage of thirty-four davs from Kodiae Island, Alaska, brings news of Lord Lonsdale, who started about & year ago on his trip t the north pole. Lord Lonsdale and a num- ber of FRsquimaux and Indian euides reached Kodiae about tho middle of Febru- ary in & famished and exhausted condition. They came from an isolated mission near the mouth of the Kaskewin river, which empties into Bristol bay, and suffered many hard- ships and privations during the journey of a month’s duration across the Alaska peninsula. Lonsdale was severely injured by a fall shortly after leaving the mission. He was placed on a sled and in that_condition reached Kodiac. Just before reaching Coolc's inlet two of the guards died and were buried in the snow. The party was in the last stages of fatigue when théy reached Kodiac, and_had not food and shelter been found there Lonsdale would have died. He stated that he might remain at Kodiac a month and perhaps longer. He statod positively that ho had had enough of Arctic exploration and would return to Eng- iand soon. MINNEAPO , Avril 10.—~A Winnipeg fal s A lotter has just been received here from one of the half breeds who com- posed Lord Lonsdale’s party, the tenor of which seems to indicate that Lonsdale has never been within the arctic circle. Leaving Winnipeg, it appears that he went to a point several hundred miles south of Mackenzie's bay, reaching there by dog sleds. From there he saiied down the Porcupine river to Yukon and down it to Bristol bay. Heis in that vicinity now. The district through which ine traveled is to a large extent popu- lated, and the gallant lord has gained notori- ety as arctic traveler very easy. o™ el ey NEGROES ARE EXCLUDED. The White Republicans of Alabama Form a New Organization. BrmiNouas, Ala., April 10,.—The confer- ence of white republicans called for the pur- pose of reorganizing the republican party in Alabama on protective tarift basis, and re- lieving it from being a negro party, met this afternoon. D. E. Parsons, jr., called the convention to order and stated that the pur- pose was to organize a protective league throughout the state. No negrocs would be admitted and no white man not in sympathy with the movement. it was not intended to drive anybody, white or black, frowm the party, and 1f the ne; ed to get together aud or- ganize their own league there was no objec tion. The commitiee on resolutions re- ported a serics of resolutions in accordance with the above statement, and also a cousti- tution for the white republican league of Alabama. Both were adopted. sral men who objected to the exclusion of negroes retired from the meeting after protesting. A rival conference was held by the negroes and followers of Dr. Mosely, chairman of the regular republican state committee of Al bama. The negroes and whites of ti conference met separatoly this morning. Many speeches were made protesting against the efforts of certain white republicans to exclude negroes from the party, and resolu- tions were adopted emphasizing the protest and declaring that the negro constitutes the backbone of the party in Alabama. A com- mittee was appointed to convey the resolu- tions to President Harrison. The conference of regular whito republi- cans protested aguinst the attempt of the others to constitute a party, and avowed their purpose of standing by the negroes and the old organization. Rl By & ‘Western Nebr: eeds. OaALALLA, Neb,, April 10.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: In the past few days western Nebraska has been blessed with a steady rainfall to an extent that assures an apund- ant small grain crop. This portion of west- ern Nebraska is making wonderful progress, notwithstanding the influen: which has been brought to bear against it. Even tne business men of Omaha, whose duty it is to assist in building up_ every portion of the state, continue to speak. with a very few ex- ceptions, disparagingly of our resources. 1t is very much easier to convince capital in the eastern and middle states of our boundless resources than the business men in Omaha whose duty it 18 to investigate and make favorable reports. This is the great secret why Nebraska with all her advantages has not not during the past fow years received her full share of immigration and until this policy is changed by the busi- ness men of our larger cities and towns in the eastern portiou of the state, we can not hope to vie with Dakota and Kansas in the volumo of immigration, notwithstanding our superior advantages. Western Nebraska wants: nothing but set- tlers and capital to make it oneof the rich- est and most prosperous portion of the state, We want the money influence and assistance of the business men of Omaha. Sottlers in a new country have enough to contend with without being compelled to overcome the prejudices of the leading men in their own stato whose interests are, or ought to be, identical. e Elmira’s Female Swindler. Ervma, N. Y., April 10.—[Special Tele- gram to Tz Ber.]—The detention of Ella G. White, of Elmira, music teacher, who ob- tained between $20,000 and §30,000 from El- mira parties on various representations, and lost the money in speculation, has resulted inthe arrcst of Nelson B. Wheeler, the bucket shop proprietor, through whom Miss White conducted her dealings. Whecler last evening was twice arrested on warrants charging bim with forgery in the second de- gree. He pleaded not guilty and his wife furnished a bona for bail. _Jacob Schwartz, counsel for Whecler, says it is_preposterous to chargo Mr. Wheeler with forgery, as he had nothing to do with Miss White's trans- actions beyond investink the money she put into hishands, ina perfectly legitimate busi- ness. o e et A Stormy Temperance Meeting. Prrrsnure, April 10.—Rev. Sam Sn conducted one of the most exaiting temper- ance meetings of the prohibition campaign in the old M, E. church to-night. He was de- nouncing lquor dealers as “law breakers when Jacob Keller, a wealthy wine dealer, came in, “He is one of them," cried a man in the audience. ‘‘You're a lar,” cried Keller, The latter became very demonstra- tive and was tinally cjected from the church amid great excitement. Resolutions passed requesting the court to refuse Kellor arenowal of his license. Ono old lady ve- came 80 much excited that she rushed up to Keller as he was leaving the church and struck him in the face with her fist. e A Blow at the “Truck" Stores, SPRINGFIELD, April 10.—The members of the general assembly feel very jubilant over the passage of the Mooney *‘truck’ biil in the nouse to-day.

Governor Mellette's Appointments— The Sionx Falls Oonstitation. Honox, Dak., April 6.—[Special Corre- spondence of Trr BEe]—“A new broom swoeps clean,” is also applicable to Governor Mellette. The day that he qualified he kicked out by telegraph the Yankton asylum board of trustees. One of this board claimed that the contractor who was build- ing a wing to the institution, owed him $5,000 advanced by him to complete the wing. The member referred to, feeling anxious about the money, and with an assignment of the £0,000 of the contractor in his pocket, hurried to Bismarck to get the democratic auditor to 18sue the warrant on the treasury before the said d. a. was turned out of office, But the new governor was too quick for him. He accepted the auditor's resignation to tako effect instanter, then he told the deputy he aught stay in the office as a clerk under his—the governor's— directions until another auditor was ap- pomnted. This the deputy wouldn't promiso 1o do, 80 the governor told him to leave, which he did, and the governor locked the door of the auditor’s office, put the key in his pocket and kept it there until a new aud- itor was appointed. The 6,000 warrant is not issued. J. C., McManima, editor of the Plorre Press, is that officer, correct in all his hab- its, with good business capacity, a radical republican, and will make as good a six- months’ auditor as the Dakota guild editorial can furnish, He went on duty last Tuesaay. Mr. Hagerty, the new commissioner of immigration, begins his duties next week. He 18 a very active business man and one of the most prudent and extensive advertisers in the state. The latter qualification won him the ofice. “For, if he kuows so well how to advertise his own business, and does it so successfully, he will certainly know how to advertise the re- sources and the advantages of the territory,' was the remark of the governor which ac- companied his appointment, The enthusiasm of the people for the re- adoption of the Sioux Falls constitution is growing into a furore., There are some features of that document which will be changed as quickly as possible. Upon adop- tion of this constitution South Dakota claims immediate admission to the union by presi- dential proclamation. If we fail to pursue this course the good Lord only knows what political evils may befall us. Minority rep- resentation in the convention of July 4 may swamp or perplex the republicans’ so that they might be driven to accept some meas- ures which they would later greatly regret. So we can only be sure of & good constitu- tion and of speedy admission by again ap- proving that of 1885. And this will un- doubtedly be done. Many meetings are held every week to further this movement. Your readers will remember that a consti- tutional prohibition convention was held three weeks ago. At that time over $6,000 was pledged to aid 1n agitating prohibitior The money is coming right in to the con mittee at Huron, its headquarters, and there is no prospect of sending out any dunning circulars, The prohibs are awake here this year. Y You would naturally think the great prairie fires of last Tuesday, in which two towns, 200 miles apart—Lola and Mouat Vernon—were wiped out, and scores of scat- tered’ houses burned, together with much other property—you would naturally think all this might be avoided it the people would take ordiuary care in burning the grass around their homes. Thore are muny cases where this rule will apply, ibut not in the majority. We havo a weed called the tumble-weed which, when dry, is rolled here and there by breeze every. In some of the fires of Tuesday these weeds were seen to catch fire, thea roll a thivd of a mile over plowed ground, ignite houses, stacks, steds and consumo them. A rigid law for their destruction should be placed in our statutes. Attorney General Skinner, of the Black Hills, having resigned, the governor is boing petitioned to appoint ex-Delegate Gifford to iill tho vacaney. The probabilitics are very rong in his favor. J. P. Luse, register of the Black Rills land ofiico under Arthur, isa candidate for reap- pointment. He is an editor, was an A L ofticer, never flinched on the republican line and ddserves to succeed, Two other cditors have got their hands to the federal sugar bowl this week and now write “P. M.” after their names. Thoey are J. W. Jonas, editor of the Oelrichs Advocate, in the Blacit Hills, and J._ W. Branbury, editor of the Daylight, at Britton. Pending the adoption of the state constitu- tion, each class is looking out for its own 1n- terests. The farmers, via their alliance, are not behind the others. Two woeks ago thoy held a meeting hero and voted to stand by the Sioux Falls constitution. ~ April 13 they of the Hills will hold a meeting at Sturgis and determine on a_similar course. It will b of interest to note if they, right there at Judge Moody’s home, secretly decide to fight Moody for United States senator, as did those who met here. And this, whilo Moody has more money Invested in farmirg intercsts than any other individual in the Hills country. Ad showing the spirit which exists between North and South Dakota, the following inci- dent is narrated: Alfred Dickey, of James- town, was a_candidate for tho appointment of governor at the hands of President Harri- son. *Last week some of the North Dakotans were grumbling because Governor Mellette is giving the best offices to South Dakot ““That's all right, gentlemen,” said Dick “1f I had boen appointed governor I wouldn't have given an ofiice to South Dakota that the law did nov compel me to.” In this connection it is a noteworthy fact that the governor has not appointed a per- sonal friend to an oftice, Ho s selected able men of high character, but not one of them is personally attached to him nor ever has been. He is runnitg the office in the iu- terest of the people, romemberig that the republicans aro in the majority. arring the lack of moisture, the farmig intercsts are in a satisfactory condition, We have had but one rain this season, yot the giround s in splendid_condition, for'cyltivat- ng. There isno auxiety yet as to the future, Of course our frieads, tho farmers, are never perfectly happy—no, not even with hogs at $4.75 and wheat $1.25. But they have exclu- sive control of the patent on grumbling. e Brassy, But no Monkey. Bostox, April 10.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—Charles H. Hoyt and his part- ner, Charles H. Thomas, proprietors in the Brass Monkey" company, have lost about §5,000, the profits of the last two weeks' en- gagement at the Park theatre in Boston, by the rascality of their treasurer, George K. Krewolf, twenty-seven years old, who hails from New York, and who hasboen in Hoyt's company two years. The attention of Hoyt wis attracted to the robbery by u telegram sent from New York by his partner relative toan unpaid bill in that city. Hoyt had a fow hours beforo given the troasurer §2,177 to du)fin it. The telegram alarmed Krewolf, and he suddenly left Boston Monday, not even stopy s to paci his grip.

A COMING NEW INDUSTRY. Good Words For Oar State—A New Way to Reduce the Tariff— Something New and In- teresting. Fonrt Ronixsox, Neb., April 10.—[Special to Tus Bes.]—When wo remember tnat the people of the United Shates an nually expend $150,000,000 for foreign sugars, it is not strroge that thought- ful men and economists like Mr. Norman J. Coleman, late commissioner of agriculture, should inquire into the possibility of produc- ing a much larger quantity of sugar at home, The amount of sugar annually produced from suzar cane grown in our southern states is only equal to one-eighth of our consumption, and for climatio reasons the area in whioh sugar cane can be grown in this countsy can not be extended greatly northward. The first questions constdered by our econ- omic sugar makers was to find a plant that would produce sugar and grow equally _ well both north and south, A hardy plant answering to this descrivtion was soon found in sorghum, It is hardy and easily cultivated and grows equaily well over a wide extent of country, including Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, It is rich in sugar; and a plant having the great qualities of hardiness and sweet sap soon came into general use. It is not a cane, but rather belong to the family of grasses, such as maize, broom corn and sweet corn graminacea. But it was soon found sorghum was better adapted to the produc- tion of syrup than crystalized sugars of a high grder, and o it was given up to molas- scs, Yodder eud slops for fattening pur- poses. Then our economists set out again to find another plant that would answer their pur- poses for the production of sugar at home. suppose the ordinary democratic economist would have gone abroad and had the cheap labor of Europe compete with our people at home, but Mr, Coleman, although a very good democrat, was not that kind of econo- mist. He believed in home production and protection to American labor ana industries, and it was not long until he hit upon the sugar beet as the best article from which to ‘manufacture domestic sugars and keep our $150,000,000 at home. instead of sending it annually to enrich Great Britain and other European countries beyond the ocean. See. The experiments that have been made in the the past few years in the production of beet sugar the average American knows little of. It may safely be said thoy have been prodigious and entirely success- ful. At first the dificulties met with were very formidable, and the experimenters were jeored and laughed at, but by patient per- severence all obstacles were overcome and the production of beet sugar in the United States made a grand success. And now comes the interesting part of this matter to us. A letter before me says: ‘““We have experimented in many places, and find the beet 15 hardy and grows well. The per- centage of crystalizable sweets to be found in this vegetable is something wonderful. It grows well in many latitudes reaches a high percentage in Kansas, but there is a bit of land in Mebraska about Grand Island, where all the conditions seem to be favorable, and ‘where I think the maximum of success can be reached in raising the sugar beet.” Hurrah for, hurrah for Nebraska; let us bless God, spit on our hands aud take new hold on faith for the future of the state. If the professed tariff reformers want to really reduce the revenue now coliccted upon foreign goods let taem devote half as much zeal to the development and successful es- tablishment of American industries that they do to destroying them and the reveuue will be less, for we sball make for our- selves many things we now buy abroad. Let them, for example, set aside $1,000,000 a year to be paid in bounties to sugar experiments with beets and sorghum and to semi-tropical canes, to jute and ramie, to flax and thewr employment and ~development in making articles that enter into the wants of our peo- ple. Let them inform our people of the ex- act processes in manufacturing goods and we will make the §750,000,000 of goods now imported, and the revenue from dutics on them as imports will be nil in treasury.

MixNeAPOLIS, April 10.—Alderman Smith returned this morning from Sully county, Dakota, where ho went to investigate the extent of damages by the recont prairio fires. “Itwas a terrible sight,” he said. *I did not suppose that the fires wereso bad. There are at least 100 families i~ Sully county who lost most of what they had. Some of thom saved a few things, but in most cases noth- ing was saved. Those who witnessed the fire told me that the flames jumped four and five rods, so that ordinary fire pro- tecticn was of no avail, One man had a sick daughter in bed when he saw the fire coming, and his wife rushed into a barn to untie the horses while he ran to save the girl. He had just carried her out on a ploughed fleld when the fire sprung upon his house, his wife barely escaping, The horses were burned. I saw where 400 sheep had been burned in a heap.

The pres- ent trouble grows out of an article pub- lished March 23, in which it was stated that the cable dispateh from London, in which Egan bad been given the credit for discovoring Pigott, was _really writton in this country under Egan' direction, Later, an interview with Mr. Ega was published {n which he was mado to say that John Devoy was responsible for tho story that he had written the cable dispatch and Dovoy was denounced as a traltor, Egan denied the interview, but this did not satisfy Devoy. He wrote several fierce messagos to Egan and finally brought his quarrel beforo the municipal council. A resolution was pussed condomning Bgan and asking Mr. Parnell to appoint a committeo to investigate the condition of the Irish national movement in America It is belioved here that Parnoll will not appoint such a committee and De- voy's kick will end about where it began. Tried to Kill a Banker. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 10.—An attempt was made last night by a well dressed young stranger to murder Banker J. S, Lockwood. The young man drove up to the Lockwood house in a carriage and asked the driver to return for him at 10 o'clock, when his visit would be ended. On entering the house he presented a letter to Mr. Lockwood, pur- porting to be written by H. W. Brower, and introducing Charles Hickman, of Boston. The young man asked Mr. Lockwood to ac- company him to the Wenger hotel to con- verse about some stolen bonds. When the two had left the house and were in the yard Lockwood stopped to pick some roses for his visitor. The latter stepped behind Lock- wood and fired, striking him behind the ear. The wounded man made a motion as though to draw a revolver and his assailant ran down the street. Lockwood’'s wound is not serious, it being but a mere scalp graze. It has since been learned that Mr. Brower knows nothing of the young stranger or the letter which he presented. Many people be- lieve that the so-called assassin had a legiti- mate griovance, and that atter he had failed to secure a settlement made an attempt to kill his oppressor. Investigating the Allard Case. New York, April 10.—Treasury Agent Simmons and his assistant spent several hours this morning in the art rooms of Al- lard & Son, whose smuggling operations have kept the custom house officers_busy of late.

Woman Who Caused Oashior Pratt’s Downfall, ANOKA, Minn,, April 10.—Half a dozen aliases of Mrs. Jacobson, to whom is credited Cashier Pratt's downfall, have been dis- covered. When she first appeared here throo yours ago sho posed as a widow, and poddled maps to support herself and ohild. A stroet flirtation with Pratt was the beginning, after which Pratt went with her to a secluded spot hardly a stone's throw from his house and a long interview with her. After this sho ceased peddling, and always had plonty of money. She protended to be neither oul- tivated nor wealthy, and realizing that sho s not his equal in’ refinement and edaca- tion, he sent her to a business collego in St. Paul for a time. When she ro- turned to Anoka she posed as a refined Jady, with an abundance of expensive drossof and took & house nplm-m» Pratts home, giving her namo as Mrs, Platt, the wife of a rail road man soldom at home. Her husband's continued absence created romark, and finally anonymous letters were circulated al- leging shameful things against her and the cashier. One of these reached a lady who had known Pratt for fifteen or twenty years and who looked upon his wife as a sistor. She was indignant and showed him the note, demanding that for the sake of his wife and children he hunt down the writer and send him to prison. She offered to take the of- fending woman to Kurope, but the latter ro- fusad to go. She was then threatened with o coat of tar and feathers and left the ecity, n{:dr\\'nr\l giving birth to a child in Minneap: olis. The —n RECOVERED THE BOODLE, Paying $4,000 for the Retarn of Property Taken by Sharpers. Morristrowy, Pa., April 10.—In the latter part of July, 1885, Jacob R. Reiff, a woalthy farmer of this county, was floeced out of $10,- 000 worth of bonds by a pair of bunko sharp- ers, who had beon negotiating with him for a week before, ostensibly with a view to pur- chasing a farm in the neighborhood. The se- curities were principally certificates of tho Cincinnati Southern railroad, and were worth something less than their face value. Every effort was made to gain a clue to the swind- lers, but without success, About eight wecks ago, Farmer Reiff received a call from a well- dressed stranger, who, after exacting overy promise of secrecy, represented to Reiff that Lc was New York detective and could restoroe the bonds, He said a broker of his acquaint- ance had bought them of the sharpers, and was afraid to sell them lest they be arrested for the swindle. The price asked for the return of the stolen bonds was $5,000. Mr. Reiff declined to pay auy such sum as this. Several consultations were held in the next fow weeks, and finally it was decided vhat if the farmer would pay $4,000, ask no ques- tions, and promise to make no effort to secura the arrest of the persons who had swindled him, the bonds would be restored. Mr. Reifts unsel went to New York, recently, with $4,000 of Farmer Reiff’s money in his pocket, met the self-styled detective, signed the agreement of secrecy reforred to, and re- turned with the bonds.

Came over on the Umbria and landed in New York Sunday night, and didn’t have even the pleasure of looking upen any of those astute detectives who made me out such a_dangerous person to the Paris police.
