Parties suspected will be ar rested. One hundred and fifteen men were arrested the other night in Cincin nati, O. ; they were attending a cock fight, in the fourth story of a build ing opposite the court house on Main street. The prisoners were arraign ed, and forty entered a plea of guilty and were fihed $25 and costs each. It is suggested by some of our learned men in the law that the diver sity of the laws in the United States wonld fully justify the citizens, if it can be done, to secure a uniform law upon the subject of divorce by con ferring jurisdiction of congress to make a law that would be applicable to all the states in the union. Basham Tbeissen, a citizen of the Russian colony in Jefferson county, this state, who went back to Russia last fall, is said to have got into some political trouble and has been im prisoned to await the examination of his papers. It is stated that he came 'to this state seven or eight years ago with the Russian colony, of which he was a prominent and wealthy mem ber, and since be came to this slate tea beem naturalized. Platte CMUy'Kerrewe'0- Last fall Tlattc county had three men elected to the legislature: George G. Bowman, republican, and John J. Sulli van and John W. Fuchs, democrats. At the republican county convention that nominated Mr. Bowman the, following resolution was passed: "Eesolved, That the republicans oi riatte county, in convention assembled. VArtUtr onnrnrp thp rniirse of Hon. C. II. Van Wvck as United States senator from vau ,,; as wuin;" "--. --- Nebraska, and hereby express our choice forhimathenext understates senator." Mr. Bowman accepted tne nominawun and was elected to go to Lincoln when the legislature met in January and repre- sent the county oi inane, noi uiiui. How did he do? He went there and voted and worked against Van Wyck from be ginning to end. Mr. Bowman had a right to be opposed to Van Wyck, but he had no right to accept the nomination and secure his election from and by Van Wvck men. With 3Ir. Fuchs it is simi lar. He, although not instructed (as he is a democrat), allowed the idea to get auroaaanu to ue circuisieu u u .... that he would support the senator. Nei ther of these two men conld have been elected on anv other issue aud they knew it. So thev "played the two-face game and betraved their constituents. ith Mr. Sullivan it is different. He voted first, last and all the time as was expect ed he would do He made no falae prom ises to secure an election, but was successful because he is what his legis lative record shows him to-be a true man. But for Bowman and Fuchs we have the most utter contempt. Any mau who will sail under false colors does riot deserve to be called by such an honorable name as man. We must ask the Colum bus Journal why its painful silence J Does it endorse these men's actions, when it so well knows the existing facts? To boil it down : the above article from the Schuyler Quill ceneures representative Bow man and Fuchs for not favoring the election of Van Vyck,whileit does not denounce rep resentative Sullivan on general prin ciples. The Journal is asked to say something. If we were about to say it in the briefest way possible, it would be so long as the public are ruled by party politice, and parties are ruled by the caucus and conven tion, there is the place to make your fight. The Quill does not quote quite correctly the resolution passed by Platte county's republican conven tion ; it was as follows : Resolved, That the Republicans of Platte county, in convention assem bled, approve the general course of Hon. C H. Van Wyck aB U. S. Sen ator from Nebraska, and hereby ex press our choice for him as next U. S. Senator. That we believe the next United States Senator from Nebraska shonld be the choice of the majority of the Republican members of the next legislature. The writer hereof, as an individual delegate to that convention, opposed the adoption of the resolution, mainly because that while the con vention was pledging the republican party of Platte county to the support of Van Wyck, tho enemies of Senator Van Wyck would use this very reso lution against his re-election. And so it proved. The only outcome of that convention who were selected by the people to go to Lincoln were Senator Higgins of Colfax county who filled -the full measure of the resolution, and Representative Bow man, who did not. Some men are expected to do their duty faithfully, honestly and squarely, and others are not. For our part, while we believe that Bowman never did a single thiug to favor Van Wyck's re-election, we do not know that he ever individually said he would, and we feel pretty certain that those who se cured the nomination for him, knew that he was opposed to Van Wyck. So much for Mr. Bowman. Like about a hundred and fifty or two hundred other republicans of this county, ho was" opposed to Senator Van Wyck. As for Mr. Fuchs, he is a democrat ; we don't know him individually ; a Colfax county democrat tells us he assured them he would support Van Wyck. And much the 6ame thing wo learn concerning Mr. Sullivan, who is said to have declared he would vote tor Mr. Van Wyck after he found his vote wouldu't help elect a democrat. It is told of him, however, that one evening in a democratic caucus, when it was supposed that the choice was about to fall upon Van Wyck, Mr. Sullivan hurried on his hat and darted out of the room, so as not to be bound by the action of the caucus. The truth is, John was never aching badly to vote for Van Wyck, and he doubtless would have been helping elect a democrat to this day, rather than vote for him. The Quill and the Journal can favor tho election of U. S. Senators by the people, aud hope and work for the day when those who repre sent the public in the halls of legisla tion shall be, not only intelligent, but fearless, outspoken and true to the people, like Senator Van Wjck has been. A Terrible IMsaster. Saturday morning at about 2:30, a terrible accideut took place near Woodstock, on the Central Vermont railroad. Tue train running at the usual speed, was thrown fiom the track by a broken rail and plunged down upon the ice in the White river, fifty feet below, aud took fire. The details of the dreadful accident are terrible to think of. Forty hu man souls pinned in the wreck ; the cars in flames, driving help away; the intensely cold weather all com bined to render the catastrophe heartrending. A trunk was shipped the other day from New York directed to J. A. Wilson of Baltimore, by Adams' ex press. It was not called for and 60on commenced to emit a very offensive odor, and when opened revealed the body of a man with his feet and legs and left arm cut off and packed in with the body. There was no head on the body. Cards were found in the clothing bearing the name of "Ed Sigel, butcher, Troop avenue, Brooklyn, E. D." The body was placed in the hands of the coroner. Ella Buck, the eldest daughter of Royal Buck of Red Willow, Neb., while returning from the station where she had.been for the mail, was instantly killed by being thrown from her horse. Louisa Wehrer, aged about seven teen, and daughter of John Wehrer a farmer who lives abont six miles southwest of Wisner, died very sud denly last Friday evening, under peculiar circumstances. Coroner Oxford was notified Saturday, to hold an iLquest and summoned a inrv. The witnesses Mr. and Mrs. Kuester, Frank Lundmueller, and Adolph Becber were examined and the facts as we learn them from Dr. Oxford are about aB follows : It ap pears that Mr. Kuester went to the house cf Mr. Wehrer Friday on bus iness and having a bottle of liquor in his pocket drank freely of the con tents and passed it around. Mr. Wehrer and familv drank from the same bottle, Miss Wehrer drinking last. In a short time they were all taken violently ill and the daughter died. What was in the bottle is not known but it is thought that some one drugged it with poison. Dr. Oxford with the assistance of Dr. Parcheu and Sutherland of Wiener removed the stomach of deceased, which was sent to Chicago for analysis. The verdict of the coroner's jury will be withheld until the re sult of this analysis is known. West Point Progress. Mrs. Kuester has since been ar rested, as it is believed she put poison in the bottle to poison her husband. Madison Chronicle. A strange accident which re sulted iu death occurred at a school house in the Bohemian settlement eaBt of DuBois last Friday, says the Pawnee Republican. It seems that after the close of school in the even ing and the children were on their way home, a little girl remembered that she had forgotten her books, and returned to the school house to get them. Finding the door locked, she hoisted a window, and while in tho act of climbing into the school room the sash fell on her neck and she was unable to extricate herself. A farmer who happened to pass the house on his way to Humbolt saw the little girl hanging from the window and went to ber assistance. lie was shocked to find life wholly extinct, although the body was yet warm. He took the body to the nearest house where proper attention was given to it. The little girl was fourteen years of age. Was ear Kartkoaalce aa Eartaaaalce? They also felt the earthquake down in Lancaster county, the northwest corner, in the neighborhood of Mal colm. A heavy rumbling sound shook the houses until the dishes rattled, bnt they thought little of it until they afterwards saw the report of our earthquake at the same hour, which was first published in the Herald. The barometer, as noticed by oue oi the residents there at the time of the shock, was 23:0:9, which was the lowest noted since the Charleston earthquake. That there was some serious terrestrial disturb ance there can be no doubt, but the exact nature of it we shall probably never know. If it was simply a meteor, it is peculiar that we shonld not hear more reports of people see ing it at that early hour, between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening. Fre mont Herald. Van Wtck is back to Washington, and has already commenced stirring up the animals. On Monday he in troduced a resolution calling on the secretary of the treasury for a report as to whether any national banks are loaning money or discounting notes requiring payment in gold coin only. He probably tramped on the toes of some millionaire senator, but they passed the resolution it wouldn't do to defeat such a manifestly just re quest. We hopn he will continue rasping the tender sensibilities of the pampered aristocrats during the time he is allowed to remain in that select society. It is consoling that some of them are doing something to earn their salaries. Fremont Herald. A. P. Blomgren, living near Chap pell, Neb., on a homestead, attempted the other day to kill bis wife by striking her on tho head a severe blow and afterwards while she was lying on the bed suffering terribly from the blow he sot fire to the bed, intending to burn her up, but she succeeded finally in making her escape from the house, but may die eventually from the blow and burns. Blomgren, believing he had settled bis wife, committed suicide by hanging. All property and franchise of the Southern Telegraph Company were sold under duress of the court at Richmond. Va., the other dav, at public auction to James G. Pace and John S. Wise, of Richmond, for themselves and association, for $400, 000. The line extends from Wash ington to Selma, Ala., with numerous branches extending at least 1,800 miles with 5,000 miles of wire. News Wte. Nearly all our neighbors are or have been 6ick with colds.

Fred Gerter, when returning home from Alma, Neb., the other day, in attempting to get into hie wagon slipped and fell with his leg going between the spokes in the wheel, fracturing his leg in two places. The worst blizzard in years is re ported from various points in Dakota and Montana on the 29th ult., so bad that trains everywhere were either abandoned or stuck in the snow. It was very cold, twenty or thirty de grees below. E. B. Johnson, a young mm who had been working for J. D. Well born, near Indianola, Neb , shot aud killed himself the other morning. By a note he requested his body to be sent to his parents in Virginia. He had about $120. James McMahon, of West Point, Neb., a respectable citizen aud active business man, is believed to be tem porarily insane. He had to be cou fined, and if his condition does not improve he will bo examined and sent to the asylum. A REroRT comes from Chicago that the condemned anarchist, Au gust Spies, and Miss Nina Van Zandt were married the oti.er evening by proxy. Spies was represented by his brother Henry.

Well, sir, I didn't think of its being a very severe injury at the time, though it made quite a painful wound; but I had a terrible time with that leg. On the place where it was burned with the acid there came arunniugsore which never left me for three years, aud which might have been there yet if I hadn't used S. S. S.
