Suaschal, Dec, 2. Advices from
Pekin state that the government re
solved, in view of the reported strength
of the rebels, not to attempt to slay
their passage short of the Chinese wall,
here an effective resistance can le o '
fereJ. The troops that are beyond the
wall will probably fall back on that
line. The rebels captured a great quan
tity of ammunition at Leao Yang, as
well as modern arms find equipments.
Among the spoilB of that place was a
quantity of field artillarj'i which the
rebels are said to have takeD with them
on their march. The fight at the wall
is expected to decide the fate of Pekic.
and should the government be defeated
ths emperor and his court will abandon
the cap.tal.
The rebel army is said to b not en
tirel) Mongolian, but to contain a large
number of Chinese from the Chinese
colonies in Manchuria. Ihe Chinese
here are greatly excited and a close
watch is kept by the foreign authorities
for any symptoms or dist urbance or out
break. The Chinese navy is as near the
ec?ne of conflict as p jsbible, but in the
present stage of the stiu.f-le is unable
to give any aid to the government, the
fighting being wholly ioland. A large
number of rebels are armed with
Mauzer rifi-e from the arsenal at Le io
Yang. Many of the Tartars are
mounted.
In an interview at Tien Toin, Viceroy
Li Hung Chang stated that in his opin
ion the present outbreaks in China were
not aimed at the reigning dynasty, but
were attributable to various cuuse
tending to breed discontent. The
viceroy thinks, however, that the dy
nasty is secure.
Pekih, Dec. 2. Advices received by
the government as to the strength of
the insurgents in the field place the
total number of men at only 1,500. lo
judge from the activity in military cir
cles, however, the imperial authoritits
do not place implicit confidence in the
roports reaching them, and they are
making preparations to deal with a
much larger force than that which is
said to be headinaj toward the capital.
There are low 6,000 imperial troops
guarding the places along the great
wall, where it is expected the rebels will
attempt to force a passage. The ad
vices received by the government, in
stead of being a concerted uprising
against the emperor, is nothing more
than a scheme of private vengeance.
The wife of a leader of an aimed band
of marauders was forcibly abducted,
whereupon he started through the
country on a mission of vengeance, in-1
structing his followers to make reprisals
upon the inhabitants
Heard Crtea and Shrieks.
Bloomisgton, III., Dec. 4. The jury,
inquiring into the cause of the death of
the unknown man found in a cornfield
has been discharged, being unable to
agree. The theory that the man was
seen on the night of the 11th with a col
ored man was dispelled. Information
has been secured substantiating the
statement that the body had been in the
cornfield two months. It was shown
that about that time a farmer living in
the viciDity heard cries and shrieks.
They ceased in a short time and when
be reached the spot from whence the
cries came three or four men were seen
disappearing in the dark. This place
was on the opposite side rf the road
from the place where the budy was
found. Detectives are still working on
the
Lom by Fire.
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 4. The most
appalling castostrophe that has visited
Detroit since the burning of the Tilden
shool couple of years ago took place
about 2 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Fire broke out in the grocery store of
George J. Reis, 342 Orleans street, and
communicating to the dwelling house
overhead smothered to death Reis and
his wife and their three eons Charles,
.aged 22, and Jet se atd Eddie, aged 11
and 7 years. The two latter children
were found dead in bed. When the fire
was discovered by the fireman the old
est boy was found lying before a win
dow. He had realized the danger and
had attempted to make his et cape by
that egress. The father and mother
were feund locked in each other's arms
at the foot of the stairs leading into the
yard. Their bodies were burned to a
crisp in endeavoring to reach the open
air. Why they took the rear stairs may
never be known, for if they had gone
down by the front stairs they would un
doubtedly have been saved. As it was,
they rushed into a fiery furnace, for the
conflagration did most damage where
their bodies were found.
There was no means of finding out
just bow the the fire started When
first seen it was issuing from the front
windows upstairs.

together with their conterts.
Sim; Sino, X. Y., Dec. 4 The terrific
explosion near llaverstran at twenty-
five minutes of 3 o'clock was severely
felt in this village. The explosion oc
curred four or five miles from here and
on the other side of the river, but it did
a good deal of dami.ge in this village
nevertheless. Windows in many houBei
were broken and ths people rushed into
the streets with the belief that wi earth
quake had occurred.
A Frightful Outrage,
Madrid, Dec. 4. A frightful outrage
is reported from Yilhi Got da. Some
baadits who had heard that the priest
if the parihh was a well-to-do man broke
into his house in the night. They tied
the only servant in the hou.se securely
on a bed and, seizing the priest, told
him with mar.y threats to point out
where he kept his wealth. The father,
a thrifty man, refused to tell, and ad
jured the bandits not to incure the "en
zeance of heaven by interfering with a
servant of the church.
The bandits were not moved by the
appeal, but proceeded calmly to light a
ire, bringing them nearer and nearer to
he flames until the victims shritked
vith agony. They told him they would
.onet his feet oil if he did not teil where
is 1. id h s money. The priest held out

CoLCMrs, O, Deo. 1. The great pub
lio benefactor know in history as "Lcd
Bill" Allen ended his days in the Fratk
lio county infirmary this morning at C
o'clock, after suffering one week from
paralysis. Mr. Allen was born in Win
dem, Conn., May 23, 1610. In eaily
years his father moved to Rhode Island
and he was given an education. Ilea
so lesrned the tailor trade. "Land Bill"
Allen sIbo entered the journalistic arena
running the Rhode Islander. He mar
ried Zsna Weaver and told his paper
and came to Columbus in 1829. He ed
ited the Ohio State Journal and the
Cincinnati Gazette fjr a number of
years. Having the "homestead" idea,
that of giving 160 acres te every man
who would guarantee to settle on it in
the west. He spent 100,000 introducing
his plans.
In 18C3 the great bill was passed in
congress, but Allen never took any land.
He moved to Sharon township this coun
ty, and began farming. Shortly after
wards his wife died. Sickness came on
the old benefactor and little by little his
property passed out of his possession,
being sold for taxes, leaving him at last
penniless and helpless in his advanced
years.
A few weeks ago he was admitted to
the Franklin infirmary where every at
tention has been given him and subscrip
tions were raised all over the country
to assist him. Ere the assistance of his
friends could be appreciated death re
lieved the old man ef his troubles. Ilis
body is in charge of the superintendent
of the infirmary, who will hold it until
WednesJay giving the friends an oppor
tunity to bury bim. A monument fund
is already proposed.
Stopped The Funeral.
AsBi-itr Park, Dec. 1. Coroner Van
Dyke of Long Branch, on complaint of
a number of people of West Asbury
Park, stopped the funeral of Miss Mamie
Bishop, the eighteen-year-old daughter
of Mrs. John Rowland, who died very
suddenly on Thansgiving night. The
neighbors claim that Miss Bishop's
death was due to poisoning, while others
heard that her death was from a more
serious cause and that toe coroner has
a good case to work on. Miss Bishop
was in apparent good health up to Wed
nesday evening, when, while out shop
ping, she was suddenly taken ill and
fainted. She was sent home in a carri
age aud Thursday she died. Jler phy
sician declared that death w as due to
heart trouble. At the funeral service
held at the house Saturday afteruoou
the neighbors noticed that the corpse
had become badly discolored and had
swollen to twice its original size. These
facts together with her sud icn death,
aroused their suspicion and caused them
to notify the coroner. Mrs. Rowland
claims that the girl's death was due to
heart trouble. The young lady was very
popular and well connected. Great ex
citement prevails in the vicinity of the
girl's late home over her alleged ms
terious death.
Another Wreck.
Charleston, S. C, Dec. 1. The
south-bound passenger train with 200
passengers aboard, was wrecked tweuty
miles north of this city on the South
Carolina railway. One man, the fire
man named Parke, was buried under the
tender and crushed to death. Btggage
m aster Anderson, Express Messenger
Pierson and three passengers were ser
iously injured. The train was made up
of four coaches, a Pullman and a bag
gage car. All were thrown down a 30
foot embankment into a swamp and all
except the Pullman were badly wrecked.
There were upwards of 200 passengers
on the train, and the light list of casasl
ties is regarded as miraculous. The
wreck was deliberately and skilfully
planned. One of the fish plates joining
the rails was loosened, the bolts having!
been drawn and the spikes that held
the rail were also drawn. All evidence
points to the fact that this was the
fork of an experienced railroad hand.

This expresses in a few words the pit -ful

i.ys Bgo was envied for its wealth, hap
piness and social emminence. And the
fid that Wednesday was the fifty-tlrst
anniversary of Cyrus V. Field's niarn

A member of ihe Field fimily cam
from the bedside of Cyrus V. Field and
said: "lie is comparatively brken in

'net that he has eiicnlio! his all in

A little later Dr. Fuller, the family

The eon, however, took every negoti

lownfall. It is believed that all that
remained of Mr. Field's once great for
une before this great trouble did not
xoeed 11,000,000 and of that sum not a
lollar is now left. How much Edward
M. Field succeeded in getting from his
father in the manner described is not
known, but it is said to have been in
unencumbered real estate, of which his
house, which he sold this week, formed
part. All of it is said to be gone in the
maelstrom at No. 1 Broadway, but ex

ALL BAD KNOWLEDGE.
The statement frequently made by the
assignee that the two partners, L'ndley
end Weichers, were innocent of a
knowledge of the firm'd condition, and
of what bod been going on until the
failure, is lsughed at by bank ofllceri
and brokers. They say that the fact
that the firm's bank account was
changed about five times in twelve
months must have opened the eyes of
the partners, that they must have known
it and that it could not have happened
without raising suspicion in their miud-i.
A remark by Assignee Qould has been
the subject of much comment. Mr,
Oould said: "It seems li me that the

operations of Edward M. Field was lost
