OHAPIEE OF AOOIDENTS,
A Series of Mishaps Caused by Bad Roada
and Worse Driving.
^ belton, Tex., Aug. G.—Yesterday was a*
field day for Accidents here. Late in the even-
ing a boy named Walter Atkins was thrown
from a mule and had his right hip dislocated.
About 6 o'clock yesterday evening City
Attorney Hair drove to the postoffice and got
out to go after hi3 mail, leaving his horse un-
hitched. As ho returned to the front of the
building his horse started down the street in a
brisk trot. Ho ran after him and caught the
rains, but just as he did so he fell, alighting
on his back. The hind wheel of the buggy ran
over his right leg, bruising it badly just above
the ankle. He was dragged a few feet before
thehorse was stopped, which bruised his back.
While returning from Holland yesterday af-
ternoon, about eight miles south of here, Mr.
Jesse Blair and wife, Mrs. T. W. Cochran and
Mra. M. E. Head met with a serious accident.
They were in a hack, to which two spirited
horses were attached. While coming down a
long hill m a brisk trot the horses became un-
manageable and tried to run away. In en-
deavoring to stop them the hack was over-
turned and the whole party was thrown out.
i !v i was Boinowhat bruised by the fall,
and Mesdames Blair and Cochran were badly
bruised, but had no bones broken. Mrs/
Head, however, had her left arm broken be-
tween the wrist and elbow and ihe wrist dis-
located. Her chest was badly bruised, and
the wheels of the hack ran over one of her
legs, bruising it badly. The hack was righted
and Mrs. Head lifted into it, but she was suf-
fering so much -that they had to travel very
slowly, and hence did not arrive until 9
o clock last night. Mra. Head suffered greatly
along the road, and was suffering in-
tensely when sho arrived at her son's last
night. Medical aid was obtained aB soon as
possible, the wrist put in place, the broken
bone set and antidotes administered. She was
resting well this morning.
Seventeen-Year-Old Indictment.
Waco, Tex., Aug, 6.—J. W. Laundy, a re-
spectable farmer, was arrested to-day on an
indictment seventeen years old. charging him
with theft of cattle. Mr, Laundy was absent
when the bill was returned by a grand jury,
members of which have since died. He came
back to the county and has since served on
many juries and become prosperous. The in-
dictment was found two days ago and a
capias issued. Mr, Laundy gave bond.

ment exorcises proper degrees were announcod
and conferred with the wonderfully grand
ceremonial peculiar to the institution of learn-
ing, in which the chancellor, vice chancellor
and board of trustees, representing the B]pis-
copal sentiment of at least seventeen states of
tho union, took official part.
Honorary degree of doctor of divinity was

The Assassination of Judge Henry Long
Creates Excitement.
new Orleans, La., Aug. 6.—Tho shooting
of Judge Henry Long from ambush a fow
night& ago at Rennerville, just above New
Orleans, has aroused great bitterness there,
'ihe whole trouble is attributed to political
enmity and has resulted in a race feud. Tho
parish officers have been working up the case
against tho assassins and have made a num-
ber of arrests. On tho other hand, a number
of negroes and white men who are in sympa-
thy with those who attacked Judge Long havo
formed a plot to force a number of white res-
idents out of tho place. It is said that they
have threatened to burn down the stores of
Mrs. H. Folix and Angolo Palmisen and the
residences of E. Stahl, E. Becker and Judgo
Long's mother.
The situation finally began to look serious
and Stahl swore out an affidavit against sev-
eral of the negroes for making threats. The
warrants were placed ill the hands of tho
sheriff and a number of negroes in tho neigh-
boring parish of St. Charles wero locked up
in the parish jail.
The population of the town is almost exclu-
sively colored.
Some of the arrested negroes have given

The Deserted Halls.
w ashing ton, Aug. 6.—Rows of empty seats,
desks littered with documents, heaps of wasto
paper, dust and dirt anil heavy, oppressive
atmosphere, these are all t hat remain at the
capitol to-day to remind the stray tourist of
tho Fifty-second congress. Half a dozen
members, mostly southern men, looked into
tho hall during the afternoon and through
force of habit dropped into their seats. But
they soon wandered off and the only signs of
life remaining were pages packing up books
and making piles of documents and papers.
Speaker Crisp spent a few hours in tho
room, winding up some oftieial business and
passing farcweil ^reotings with n few mem-
bers. He will leave Washington for Georgia
in n day or two.
In the senate chamber Senator Bate sat
solitary for n time, closing up his correspond-
ence. Not more than three of his colleagues
appeared at the capitol during the day. Tho
committee rooms were closed and locked, and
every departing train carried away numbers
of statesmen who yesterday were active par-
ticipants in legislative action.

OfHeors Crowd Them and One of the Pur-
suers Killed.
Visalia, Cal., Aug. 6.—Evans and Sontag,
tho ( oliia train robbers, came to Evans' house
here about 12 o'clock last night, and after eat-
ing supper went to the barn. Five or six men
standing guard discovered their team in the
barn lot, not having seen them come in. Un-
doubtedly they returned to secure tho hidden
coin as a hole filled with fresh dirt was found
in tho barn this morning.
Deputy Sheriff Oscar Boaver, the guard,
saw the men at the barn and opened fire, the
shot being returned by the robbers, wounding
Heaver so that he died at 6 o'clock this morn-
ing. Fifteen shots were exchanged, Beaver
tiring eight. Some of his shots wounded the
robbers' horses, so they hail to bo killed.
While the guard were attending to Beaver
the robbers escaped on foot going in a north-
erly direction. The officers in pursuit traced
the men four miles northeast, where they en-
tered a field. The pursuers' team gave out
and they returned to town.
Twenty or thirty men are now in pursuit
on horseback. Excitement is high here, and
the men will be hung if taken alive. They
can hardly escape, as all thoroughfares are
guarded. Deputy Sheriff Witty, who was
shot yesterday, will recover unless blood
poisoning occurs.

Ehie, Pa., Aug. 6.—Shortly before midnight
last night passenger train No. 6 ou the Lako
Shore railroad ran into a freight tram which
had broken in two near Harbor Creek, five
miles east of here. The freight train was
badly wrecked. The engineer and fireman of
the passenger were killed. Their names wero
William Welch and Jacob Burtner. One pas-
senger whose name could not bo learned was

ABSOLUTELY PWSffi
Caused Little Comment.
Washington, Aug. 6.—Very little interest is
displayed in official circles in Washington in
regard to the report that Great Britain has ar-
ranged to establish a coaling station in the
harbor of Pago Pago, Samoa, for the simple
reason that such a course of action is in strict
accord with the terms of the treaty concluded
between Great Britain and Samoa in 1879 and
does not interfere with or impair the rights or
interests of the United States in any respect.
To Protect American Interests.
Washington, Aug. 6.—The United States

TRAGEDY AT A THRESHING.
One Man Thrown Into the Machine and
His Murderer Stabbed to Death.
Celina, Ohio, Aug. 6.—[Special.]—At a
wheat threshing a few miles west of Celina,
John Day was feeding the threshor and
Henry Shryhock accidently cut Day's hand.
Thereupon Day thrust him into the thresher
head foremost; killing him instantly. Then
John Shryhock, a brother of the murdered
man, stabbed John Day with a pitchfork till
he killed him.
Cows Must Keep Out.
Guthhie, Ok., Aug. 6,—Governor Seay to-
day received a telegram from C. F. Davis, in-
spector of the intorior department at Arkansas
City, saying that the commander at Fort Reno
had been ordered by the secretary war to re-
move all cattle from the Cherokee strip and
that Governor Humphrey of Kansas had or-
dered the sheriffs of all border counties to
keep all cattle out of that state, (iovernor
Seay at once telegraphed instructions to every
sheriff in Oklahoma, the body of which was as
follows:
"I havo just been informed that cattle are
about to bo removed from the Cherokee strip
and it is possible that an attempt will be made
to drive a portion of them through your coun-
ty. This you must prevent at all hazards, as
the passage of such cattle through your county
will endanger the stock of residents thereof.
You will therefore take such steps and sum-
mon such assistance aB may be necessary to
enforce the law, being careful, however, to
avoid unnecessary expense."
An armed posse is already on duty in each
county at the line and every cow that crosses
into Oklahoma wiil be killed.
Buried by the County.
HRNtiKRsoN, Tex., Aug. 6.—Will McCarther,
the party who was charged with having forged
a draft and passed it on A. Wettermark, died
this morning and was buried by the county.
Berlin, Aug. 6.—[Copyrighted by the New
Y ork Associated Press.]—Prince Bismarck's
studied avoidance of any open reference to the
government's policy in the brief speech he
delivered upon his arrival to-day at the rail-
road station in this city has been a source of
groat relief to the official mind, which litis
been filled with forebodings that the prince
would renew his attacks. Since the notable
speech, which the chancellor recently deiiv.
ered at Jena, ho 1ms been made to feel official
'resentment in various petty ways. Different
railway stations in Prussia, when the prince
was expected to pass, have been virtually
closed to the public. At Halle, where he had
to alight to change trains, tho railway officials
refused to admit anyone to the platform, and
asked the prince at once to leave the cars and
stay in the waiting room until the train was
ready to proceed.
Similar isolation has been attempted here,
but tho officials did not daro to face public
wrath over further acts of insolence toward
the ex-chancellor.
Ovations in his honor by the people have
become warmer, owing to public indignation
over his bad treatment.
It has transpired that the government tried
to influence the grand duke of Sax Weiinar to
order the municipal authorities of Jena and
the chiefs of the university to refuse the prineo
a public reception on the occasion of his visit
to that place. Prof. Hacket, however, per-
sonally saw the grand duke and obtained his
assent to the proposed popular greeting of
Prince Bismarck and arranged the program me
for tho distinguished visitor's reception before
the grand duke's ministers, under promptings
from the outsel chanceliorie, sought to squash
the ovation.
The National Zeitung and other national
liberal organs rightly boast of the revival of
Prince Bismarck's influence and proclaim
him to still bo the greatest ruling person-
ality in Germany, even though he is never
again invested in office.
not resigned vet.
Herr Furth, Prussian minister of the inte-
rior who, it is said, is to resign the portfolio
in consequence of differences existing be-
tween himself and Miguel, minister of fin-
ance, delays the formal resignation of his
office until the return of Emperor William
from his trip to England, but his withdrawal
from the ministry is aileady a practical fact.
Tlieil, president of the railroads, also in-
tends to resign.
This rupture in the ministry is duo to a
majority of the members of the cabinet sup-
porting Miguel's financial reforms.
Miguel proposes to relinquish taxation by
the state of real estate and mines, permitting
communes to levy such taxes for adminis-
trative expenses. He would meet the shortage
in the state budget resulting from loss of taxes
on real estate by an increase of the income
tax and the levying of a tax on funded prop-
erty.
Herr Furth contends that this scheme is ob-
jectionable, as relieving taxation of great land
owners. His retirement is requested, not
alone by his own friends and admirers, but. by
political opponents, evon the freisinge press
according him homage as an honest, high-
minded statesman.
germany and russia.
Negotiations for commercial entente wit h
the Russian government are open with tho
balance of advantages on the side of Ger-
many. The St. Petersburg government has
not only taken the initiative in tho matter,
but shows unusual anxiety to havo arrange-
ments completed. State Secretary Rottion-
borg presided to-day at the conference of ex-
perts from the different state departments,
called to discuss the Russian proposals. I hese
wore embodied in a memorandum presented
by Count Sehouvaloff, Russian minister at
Berlin, to Baron Marschall von Bieberstcin,
imperial minister for foreign affairs. The
proposals intimatod that the Russian govern- j
ment is ready to modify the customs laws in I
favor of Gorman iron, steel and textile in- I
dustnes in return for the withdrawal of Ger-
man differential duties on grain. Count
Sehouvaloff asked for a definite statement as
to what extent Germany would require a re-
duction of the Russian tariffs. The confer-
ence of experts has not yet been finished.

This new treaty is a boon to both empires
ariti to the whole of Europe, as strengthening
tho cliances of the maintenance of peace.
NOTES.
Reports which have been current of late to
the effect that the German government would
favor new Russian loans after conclusion of
the treaty between the two countries are semi-
officially denied.
The announcement that a treaty of com-
merce has been concluded between Germany
and the United States of Colombia has been
the subject of congratulations by the commer-
cial proas as a German success against the fis-
cal policy of the United States. The United
States of Colombia sends to this country to-
bacco, nuts, coffee and sugar in exchange for
all kinds of German manufactures. The total
annual value is not great, but the treaty is
hailed with favor as a hit at the United Statoe
States "pan-American principle."
When the new treaty between Germany and
Spain comes up in the reichstag it will be ad-
versely criticised in view of the Spaoish-
Amerlean arrangements already killing Ger-
man trade in the Antilles.
