About one o'clock on the morning
of the 22d from eight to twelve mount
ed and masked men rode up to Mon
telis station, on the Central Pacific,
one hundred and sixty-six miles west
of Ogden, seized two white and a half
dozen Chinese section men, robbed
them of what valuables they had on
their persons and locked them up in
the tank house. They then awaited
the arrival of the east bound express
train which came in soon after. Two
of the highwaymen jumped on the
engine, overawed the engineer and
fireman and sidetracked the engine.
The remainder of the gang first seized
the train men, robbed them of what
valuables they possessed, and confined
them also In the tank house. They
then attacked the express car ; here a
rapid fusilade took place between the
robbers and Ross, the express messen
ger. Some thirty shots were exchang
ed, when the robbers, finding resist
ance more spirited than they had

decamped. No one is known to have
been killed. The passengers were not
molested. The robbers tried various
ways to get into the express car. They

A special from Reiser, West Vir
ginia, says one of the most terrible
and fatal railroad accidents that ever
bappeued in that part of the country,
happened on the George's Creek &
Cumberland railroad, running from
Cumberland to Lanoconing on the
22d. Three coal trains, consisting of
three locomotives, fifty-two hoppers
and seventeen gondolas, ail loaded,
started from Cumberland about two
o'clock in the afternoon, all coupled
together. In going down one of the
steep grades about ten miles from
Cumberland, the train started down
the 6teep incline at a fearfni rate. It
kept the track until it got on the tres
tle, when, having to reverse a curve,
the front engine flew the track, drag
ging all the men and sixty-nine cars
and locomotives after it, all rolling
and tumbling down a hill between 80
and 100 feet in height, onto the tracks
of the Elkhart branch of the Cumber
land & Pennsylvania railroad. The
loss of life is reartul. Seven dead
bodies were found amid the wreck.
More are missiug. Each train con
sisted of a conductor, two brakemen,
a fireman and engineer. In all fifteen
human beings, not one of whom can
be found alive to tell tho tale. It is
supposed that the other bodies are
among the wreck, as they jumped to
save their Uvea.

A terrible crime was discovered
at Milwaukee on the 23d. The wife
of John Seimbrick, a laborer living on
Sixth street, killed her three children,
the oldest seven years, and the young
est ten months, in a most brutal man
ner, literally cutting tbem to pieces,
and completely disembowling them.
The neighbors' attention was attract
ed to the scene by the woman's at
tempt to hang herself in au out-house.
They cut her down and took her in
side the house when the horrible
spectacle was discovered. Mrs. Seim
brick was at once arrested. She took
the arrest very calm, stating that she
read to sacrifice in the good book.
The woman is doubtless suffering
from religious insanity. All three are
girs of tour years, twenty months and
four months old respectively. When
a reporter reached the dingy apart
ment where the deed was committed
he beheld a terrible sight. The little
bodies were nude and cut up in a ter
rible manner. The oldest girl had a
large number of gashes made with a
butcher knife all over her little body.
The arms of the second girl were cut
off near the shoulder. The lower ex
tremities were so terribly mutilated
that the officer turned away sick at
heart.

The London Times, in speaking of
the recent events in France, says,
"There can be little doubt, if states
men continue to be wanting, that the
republic will go headlong to ruin.
That the French people are aware of
this is an explanation of the panics
caused by the difficulties of the min
ister so little reeembling the indis
pensable genius of Du Clero."

years 1875 and 1878, be further testi

Recent news from Chester, Pa.,
says that Samuel Gasta, of Iowa, and
bis nephew, David Gasta, of Ohio,
traveling cancer doctors, and James
E. Haines, a student of Rising Sun,
Indiana, were arrested on a coroner's
warrant charging them with homi
cide, in having caused the death' of
Mrs. Armstrong, aged seyenty-three,
of this county, whom they treated for
cancer. W. J. Perkins, of this city,
who harbored the cancer doctors, is
also arrested, charged as accessory to
the crime.
The Journal has always favored an
actual government by the people, and
we have believed in doing so, so far
as our form of government would
allow, knowing that in due time the
good sense of the American people
would recast their fundamental law
on this basis. The expressions of the
press toward this end are not few.
The Nebraska Farmer of a recent
date, in considering the U. S. senato
rial contest, remarks "right here we
wish to say that we hope the time is
not far distant when this farce will be
done away with, and every officer in
the state elected by the people. If the
people are not competent to elect their
representatives in the senate, then it
seems that the time for a monarchial
government is at hand. Postmasters,
marshals and land officers should also
be elected the same as state and couuty
officers. When this is done, then will
these officers pay some attention to
the wishes of the people. As it is
now, these offices are peddled out to
the highest cash bidder, or to some
political bummer, and in many in
stances to men who never made a res
pectable living outside of holding
office."

Telegraphic news from San Fran
cisco under date of Jan. 23 states that
as a result of the evidence taken at
the inquest on the victims of the
Tehichipi disaster and of inquiries by
detectives, the railroad officials say
that they are now convinced that the
accident was not due to carelessness
on the part of employes,but was the re
sult of an attempt to rob the express
car. It is known that when the train
drew into the station two men were
seen there, who were subsequently
found dead in the wreck, and who are
as yet unknown. These men, it is
thought, were part of a gang that had
attempted to rob the train. Their
object in letting off the brakes was to
get the train away from help and in a
position where the express car could
be robbed. Being inexperienced they
lost control of the train and the acci
dent occurred.

Mu. Editor: Will you allow a
plain man, without any political aspi
rations to say of tho above bill "how
it strikes
nothing of politics
economy, and coming rather late with
his pay who knows but it may do
some little good.
Our country had undoubtedly, while
the republican parly was in power for
nearly twenty years, enjoyed a good
degree of prospprity,aiid having done
so much good our party could well
afford to be whipped-for once."But
even that licking could not have been
administered to it, if it had not com
mitted sonic stiicidtl actions. Great
prosperity i apt to engeuder corrup
tion. It is no shame to confess mis
takes, it is a shamu to deny or to
justify them.
The great river and harbor steal was
in my opinion oue ot the toadstools
that sprung up from the dungheap oi
corruption ; the pension bill was an
other, and last but not least in the trio
was the anti-Cbiiiese bill, which
prompts me to say a few words in
particular. I consider that bill as a
direct slap iu the face ot our consti
tution, cur free government aud our
free institutions. We have beeu boast
ing that our country was au asylum
for all mankind all we may hence
forth say all, but those that we don't
want, all but those we have prejudi
ces against, all but those that some
political f-andlot demagogues exclude,
and why? Well, Mr. Editor, your
humble eervaut has been where the
Chinese were numerous. How did he
find them? What did people say
about them.'' Terrible things! Peo
ple said that they are industrious,
economical, apt to do any kiud of
work, faithful, trusty, frugal aud sav
ing. Isu't it terrible to have such
people iu a commonwealth or com
munity? Would that some other
classes of citizens could have such a
record ! ' But they work for a song."
How long will they do it ? Just as
long as they must; soon they will
learn to '-make somethiug." Some
thirty or forty years ago the same was
said ot Irish and German immigrants
aud yet what would this country be
to-day, if it was not for the inflow of
the foreign element? It would not
enjoy half the prosperity it rejoices in
with and through them. As the Irish
and the Germans aud others then did
the lowest and heaviest woik. and
thus elevated the Americans to he
bosseti, overseers, foremou. enpeiin
teudentn and contractor.-. so let the
( !imf3( now rami in -iim! h 't . Mp j
eo-iaiicu "iui.ii.-i.ib or "touiidaiioiiti,"
and thus elevate the other classes and
the cry about them "working for a
song,"aud robbing other laborers will
cease. Uncle Sam has got work and
farms enough for all. "But these
Chinese won't stay," it is said, aud yet
some ot them have established them
selves as busiuess men and do stay,
and others will iu the course of time
as they see the wisdom of those that
do stay. Is it to be woudered at that
people of such au old nation, of such
prejudices, of such a religion should
desire to go home again, and leave a
people where theythough that peo
ple claims to be the most liberal of the
world aie persecuted, stigmatized as
pigtails, etc., and eveu have laws
passed against them? I predict that
all their prejudices would wear away
and they would gladly stay and make
good citizens if they only would be
allowed to, for say twenty-five years.
Even christian people have objected
to the "Chinese heathen" coming here.
But christian people should look upon
the matter in a different light. If
Providence briugs the Chinese here
christians ought to christianize them,
and not drive ofl what Providence
throws in their way. Finally it is
urged that they carry the money
away. What of that? If they have
honestly earned their money, can they
not do what they please with it? How
many bank cashiers, city and country,
and other treasurers carry millions
away which they have not earned?
Let the Chiueae and all nations come,
and earn money, and take it home, and
then let our merchant men sail over
every ocean taking produce and
merchandise aud machinery to all
nations and bring the money back to
us. I have written, Mr. Editor, a
longer article than I had intended,
but I had to "free my mind" for once,
and I hope you and all your readers
will pardon the length of my article.
If it should induce those that got tem
porarily into power to undo what
their predecessors have misdone, it
would accomplish more than I dare to
hope. A. II.

JOHN HEITKEMPER,
The Knox County News affects to
think that the election of Senator
Saunders tn succeed himself would
re-unite the different factions of the
republican party in this state, but
doesn't attempt to show just exactly
how that event will be brought about.
From any point of view we cannot
see how the re-election of Mr. Saun
ders would be satisfactory to any sec
tion of the republican party of tbe
state except, perhaps, that small por
tion to whom may be dispensed tbe
federal appointments that may be
placed at his disposal, and the Jour
nal begs leave to say that there
should be some consideration of the
purely public interests, once in a
while.
The proposed law compelling teach
ers to attend teachers' institutes sho'd
not pass. It is wrong on general
principles. It rests on the assump
tion that those who hold a license to
teach are scarcely Ot to do so, and thai
the lacking qualifications will be sup
plied by a few days' attendance on a
so-called teachers' institute, which i
usually only a sort of third-rate
school. If institutes were compelled
to instruct all attendants in the art ot
teaching, there might be less to eay
against tbe proposed law.
The U. S. senatorial contest puzzles
tbe oldest politicians and the most
skillful wire-pullers. The trouble is
that there are really six different and
distinct parties, and it is difficult for
enough of them to coalesce
lo furnish the requisite number ot
votes. There are, the democrats, the
republicans, the anti-monopoly dem
ocrats, tbe anti-monopoly republicans,
and tbe anti-monopolists, pure and
simple. The republicans will not
probably vote for a democrat, and the
democrats will not probably vote for
a republican, and if there is any man
can decipher the result from indica
tions thus far (Saturday), he is more
of a prophet than we have known.
Conjectures are many, but in this
matter they don't couut.

Last weeks dispatches from Dublin
says tbe whole north ot Ireland is in
a most wretched condition, owing to
tbe complete destructiouVrKraiu
crops in September by Ibe tp-ible
tornado, and the rotting of tbe entire
potatoe crop, caused by constaut rain?
In one place such general destruction
prevails that twenty-two tons of In
dian maal is required to keep tbe peo
ple barely alive. Relief is coming
slowly and despair is stariur everv-
body in tbe lace. I

Ov Sunday, the 21st hist., tbe Oma

speedy conclusion of tbe senatorial

must be a satisfaction to all good re
publicans." It would seem from this
