Tint Adirondack passenger train. that left Saratoga, Now York, the other evening, is snowed in aomo where between Corinth and Hadley. There are but few passengers aboard.

By a decisiou ot tho court at Dcs Moines, la , the last distillery in that elate has been closed, the court hold ing that under the prohibitory law of the stiite it cannot be distilled to be sold outside of Iowa.

A surveying party of the B. & M. road were at Norfolk, Neb., the other day and engaged teams for several months and drove west, it is be lieved, to a point north of Neligh. . The paity was non communicative. Ex-President Axdrew D. "White of Cornell University, New York, telegraphs President Cleveland de clining to allow the nse of bis name' In connection with the formation of a commission under the inter-state commerce act. John O'Keeth was found dead the other morning in the city jail at Tal mage, Neb.

Vav Wyck keeps on doing good work lor the people. Among bis a committee on Indian traderehips, after doing absolutely nothing, not even holding a meeting, for nine jnostbe, "now proposes to spend the annmer, traveling wherever they I jike, at public expense." The Soldier SeMtimeBt. Last Thursday there was a spicy contest in the House over the Presi dent's veto of the dependent pension bill. "Hepburn of Iowa commented on the fact that every gcntloman who bad spoken in opposition to the bill, save one, had voted for it originally. There must be some reason for this. , A large number of them, like him self, terminate their official lives on the 4th of March and a large number, unlike himself, were now about the White House, "bending the pregnant hinges of the knee that theft may following fawning." Loud cheers and laughter on the republican side. I deny- the right, he concluded, of the gentleman from Ohio (Warner) and the gentleman from Wisconsin (Bragg) to speak for tbeGraud Army of the country. I tell you that while these gentlemen once did occupy honorable places in the Grand Army and were every where received, yet they arc looked upon, today, when they rise in their places and denounce their old comrades as vagabonds and scamps and the scum ot humanity as Benedict Arnold was. Renewed cheer and applause on the republican side. There was a time when Bene dict Arnold rode along the lino and when he met with the acclaim of the brave soldiers everywhere, yet there was another period in his life when be held an interview with an Ameri can on English soil, be not daring to come on American soil. He asked what his old comrades,those who had worn the uniform of the continentals during the dark days of the revolu tion, thought of him; what would they do with him if they should meet him? The reply was: 'They would cut off your leg that was wounded at Saratoga and bury it with the honors of war; and the rest of your carcasa they would hang on the gibbet.' Applause on tho republican side." Jxo. Ericsson, the Swede, who made the Monitor that contested suc cessfully against the Merrimac dur ing the Rebellion, and who has got up auotber vessel that he calls the Destroyer, is a genius, beyond doubt. He says: "The defense of the seaports of the United States by the new method ot piercing iron clads in spite of their thick armor-belt will in due time demonstrate that a conflict between the Inflexible and Destroyer will he short and more destructive than that between the Merrimac and the Moni tor." This new destroyer carries a sub marine gun which throws a long projectile carrying 300 pounds of gun cotton. This is sufficient to "knock out" any ship that floats. The Uuited States need not fear any foreign power so long as Ericsson retains hid mental grip. Some friend has sent us from Chi cago a marked copy of the Tribune of Feb. 3d, containing a lengthy article on the McMinnville claim against the government, giviug a list of republican congressmen who voted for it, and endeavoring to show that it is a rebel claim. Having given the other side, it is no more than fair that the Journal should publish what is claimed for the opposition, viz: that, "the Rebels took up the rails from the branch to repair the main line, and the line was sub sequently rebuilt in great part by the United States." This is tho expres sion of -Gen. Boyuton, Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, who says that the affair, besides being a job pure and simple, establishes a very costly precedent. W. J. Conxell, an attorney of Omaha, has again won a verdict in a court at Chicago, against the Penn sylvania railroad, this time for $7,000, for being ejected from a car in 1880, when he had a ticket, which the con ductor refused to honor, Connell re fusing to pay his fare a second time. He sued for $50,000 damajes. In '82 ho received a verdict for $15,000, which was set aside. In '84, ho re covered again for $15,000, the su preme court upsetting the ruling on which it was rendered. If the traveling world generally were com posed of men as plucky and as able to fight for their rights as this Ne braska citizen is, there would be less injustice accomplished. Terrible shocks of earthquakes were felt at Nice last "Wednesday moruing. Houses rocked, walls cracked, and in some cases frail tenements were thrown to the ground. Shocks were felt at Monte Carlo and Monaco, at which place they were so severe that rocks were detached from the cliffs and precipitated into the sea. The shocks aud disturbance ex tended as far as Genoa. At Savona eight persons were killed and fifteen others injured. Immense damage was done to property. The whole of the Italian Riviera was devastated. Not far from Savona several bouses fell aud fifteen persons were killed. Near Onegli, scores of people were killed and huudreds injured. O ire third of the town was destroyed. Casper, of Butler, who was in the house two years ago, is probably the most influential member among the anti-monopoly factors of the senate. He is an editor and wheu he makes especial preparation writes his speech ana reads it .from the manuscript. He is not an elegant speaker but can always be heard and is generally, as he expresses it, "loaded for bear" with a heavy charge of statistics. He is a plain spoken gentleman and does not hesitate to express an un biased opinion upon the constancy, sincerity, accuracy or other attributes of his fellow, members. Hastinas Qazeite. A max by the name of Newman and a girl Jo years' old named Weaver, while going in a wagon from Kingston to Rockwood, in Roan county, Tenn., were fired on by a I man named Epps and both killed. Leekanl MeamUilB 81. CnATTANOOGA, Tenn., Feb. 21. The sale has been, consummated of Lookout mountain, celebrated as the scene of the battle among the clouds. A company has been organized to build a broad guage railroad by July 1, and erect the handsomest hotel in the south on the historic heigbte. ! The work on the railroad will com mence at once. The other night while Mrs. Wm. Maxey of Litchfield, 111., was hold ing a lamp in her hand, it exploded, scattering its contents over her clothing, which became ignited and enveloped her iu flames. In attempt ing to extinguish the flames Mr. Maxey was fatally burned. Mr. Maxey was burned to death and Mrs. Maxey cannot live. Patents granted to citizens of Ne braska during the past week, and re ported expressly for the Journal by C. A. Snow & Co., patent lawyers, Washington, D. C, are, C. Cook, Fremont, grader and ditcher.; F. M. Ilempol, Plattsmoutb, planter; R. S. Sumner, Fullerton, car coupling; A. II. Patterson, North Platte, weighing attachment for wagons. Senator Van Wyck's speech on tbe election of U. a. senators by a popular vote will be read with in terest by thousands of intelligent voters beyond the limits of Ne braska. The Bee is tbe only Ne braska daily we know of that has yet had the enterprise to lay it before its readers. A cyclone passed through Ore ville, Cal., one night last week, and for a distance of six miles carried everything before it, destroying fences and cabinB. It was only about fittv feet wide. It is the first one ever known west of the Rocky mountains. A fire broke out the other night iu the shop of J. D. Fanker's hard ware store at Diller, Neb. The citizens tried to stop it by tearing down the building, but failed in tbe attempt. Tbe losses are heavy. The business part of tbe town is in ashes. Senator Sherman has resigned his position-as President of the Sen ate. At this writing it is not known who will succeed him. Senators Hoar and Ingalls have both been nominated, and it is probable that one of them will be elected. The committee on public build ings in tbe House has agreed to the report appropriating $1,200,000 for the erection of a public building at Milwaukee, Wis. This is considered a very large appropriation for that purpose. A new gas light, the invention ot Dr. Von Welsbach of Vienna promise to supercede the electric light tar certain purposes. It is common gas, consumed in a mantle or hood saturated with certain chemicals. WaNhlagloa JLetter. (From our regular correspondent.) The season is clipping rapidly to its close and Congress is trying to make tho best use of its short life by dispensing as much as possible with business of private character. Among the important matters that bavo had attention during the past week may bo mentioned the Tehuautepec Ship Railway bill, the Rivers and Harbors bill and the Sundry Civil, aud Anti Polygamy bill, and half a 'dozen measures appropriating millions of dollars for ships ot war and coast defences. Tbe long cherished project of Capt. Eads passed the Senate by a decided majority. -By the provisions of the bill Mr. Eads and his associates are incorporated as tbe Atlantic and Pacific Railway' Company, with capital stock not to exceed $100,000, 000, no bonds to be issued until tbe paid-in capital shall amount to $5, 000,000. The Government is in no wise committed to the proposition pecnuiarily, and makes no guarantee!. The first Mexican pension was made by Commissioner Black last Friday, and the beneficiary was ex Senator Williams, of Kentucky. Ever since tho battle of Cerro Gordo where ho greatly distinguished him self, he has been known as "Cerro Gordo Williams." The application for the allowanco was filed in the Commissioners' office at eleven o'clock that morning, and the cer tificate went out in the afternoon's mail for Louisville. The clamor for a change of inaugu ration day from tbe 4th of March to the 30th of April grows louder as the workiug days of tho present Con gress have become alarmingly few, and the danger more apparent that nothing may be done towards this desirable reform. The trouble is that if tbe proposed amendment does not get through Congress by tbe end o.' this session, it cannot be ratified by the States in time to go into effect as a part of the Federal Constitution in tbe spring of 1889. There is no op position to the change, but, on the contrary everybody ackowledges that it would be "just lovely" to have tbe inaugural ceremonies at the most de lightful time of the year. If the re publican Senate is willing to extend President Cleveland's term by eight weeke, no one can see why the demo cratic House should not be more so. Xelcffi raphlc Saauaary. Under date of Feb. 27 the Bee's special from Rome gives a graphic account of a trip taken throueh the afflicted region by a gentleman stop ping at Nice when the catastrophe occurred. Excited crowds greeted them at every stopping place of the train. Evidence wero visible all along the route, but the culminating point of horror was reached at Dieno Marins, the very center of tbe dis turbance. "The ravages had been dread fob The station was complete- ly wrecked and all the railway busi ness was being done under tar paulins. We found two brothers there, a priest and a doctor who were both wearing railway porters' caps and working like beavers to rescue people. General Disonunz, one o; the king's aides-de-camp, stood uobt by crying like a child. The soldier let ua out of the station. We were in stantly surrounded by half-starved women imploring charity. The priest joined ua and we made for the village. 'Here,' said the priest, 'on the night of mardi-gras, the peasants were dancing in the shade. At midnight I exhorted them to go home. They only laughed and continued to dance. At dawn the earthquake came, and in an instant fifty were swallowed up.' 'But some may be still alive, padre?' said I. 'Ob, yes. Come with me.' We walked toward a group of soldiers and weeping women gathered around a deep hole, which wa9 being still dug out. While we stood there I cond hear dull, smothered sobs and shrill yells, the groans and cries of the poor wretches who lay buried beneath us. At last the train started Rain was falling and the heavy seas roared as we passed Savona. I was glad enough to reach Genoa, where I managed to sleep. Bui the horrors' of that journey still haunt me. Three miles from Trinidad, Col., Thursday, Jack Pactarie, Frank Scarzoni and Danl. Conway were crushed to doath by the caving in of the Eagle coal mine. Further particulars from the earth quake at Cervo state that three hun dred persons were killed by being buried in the ruins of falling build ings; that railway traffic had been suspended beyond Savona. At 5:40 Thursday morning the dry goods house of Robt. Hawke at Ne braska City was discovered on fire aud was under great headway. The water supply was soon exhausted. Mayor Larsh telegraphed to Lincoln for help, aud a special brougbt re inforcements in an hour and five minutes, bringing an engine and 2200 feet of hose. Water had been ob tained from the river, howcv&r, be fore the assistance came, and the flames subdued. Loss, $S0,000, in surance $52,000. A wall fell in, and a number of men buried in the debris. The wildest excitcmrut prevailed tor a time, but twelve or fifteen men Mid boys comparatively uninjured, were taken out by the firemen. Ira Golden, who was injured, was reported ;;: dying Thursday. particulars of the great LAVA FLOW OF MAMA LAVA. San Francisco, Feb. 24. The steamer Australia, which arrived this morning from Honolulu, brings the particulars of tbe great lava flow from Mama Lava. Tho sight is de scribed as magnificent beyond de scription. A column of fire was first observed from tho summit of tho crater, on the night of January 1C. The fire died down near midnight, but great volcanic disturbances wero goiug on. The cessation of the fire was followed in quick Micression up to the night of the iSili, wheu fire and lava again burst forth from the mountain side. The length of the flow is estimated at twenty miles. This distance of lava was accom plished in two days, spreading as it descended, reaehiug the sea on the eve of January 20. The stream of lava continued flowing without inter ruption till the 29th, when a river of fire burst forth, following a Hue of lava flow, wheu the fires flamed out. The heavy earthquakes ceased, al though slight tremors were felt at intervals thereafter. FURTHER PARTICULARS AbOUT THE EARTHQUAKE. Rome, Feb. 24. Details have been received this morning of the results of the earthquakes of yesterday, showing the efforts to be far more serious than was thought. The loss of life and the destruction of property is learned to have been terrible. The most startling news comes from Genesee Riviera. Over fifteen hun dred peoplo were killed iu that dis tiict. At the village of Bazards, situated on the top of a hill, a num ber of inhabitants took refuge in a church, where the shocks were first felt. Subsequent aud greater shocks demolished the church and killed three hundred peoplo in it. The de struction of property in sections of Italy visited by the earthquake was immense and widespread. London, Feb. 24 Another shock was felt at Mintoue today, aud it was so severe that houses were shaken. No one was injured. Additional de tails concerning the damage by yes terday's shocks show that in some cases villages bum on the moun tain sides wero toppled into the val leys. Three railway trains have been dispatched with food for the suf ferers. A number of soldiers have also been sent to assist them. Paris, Feb. 24, 4 p. m. A renewal of the earthquake shocks occurred in the southern section of France. A terrible disaster is momentarily ex pected. Nice, Feb. 24. Cannes and Mln tone are half deserted. Fears are expressed for the safety of the Prince of Wales and tbe Orleans princes, all of whom are In the section of country where the earthquakes pre vail. Paris, Feb. 24.Two slight shocks of earthquake were felt today at Nice and Cannes; no injury. Yesterday's disturbance killed two persons and injured ten at Nice; killed four and injured two at Bar; killed two and injured twelve at Ballene. At Chataeu-Neuf many were iujured. At Savona two bouses fell, killing nine persons and injuring fifteen. Tbe whele population of Savona are bivouacked about the town. Romf. Feb 24. Reports of the dis-' aMer continue t. arrive. The total number of deaths reported up to the present time are about 2.000 Shocks were felt at Parma, Turin and Coscuzir. Undulati-ina of the earth were notified at C;itatiia. iu S'cily, at the toot ot the nioiiutain Aetna. The director of ttie Turin observatory telegraph? 'bat the seismic, instru ment is quiescent. No further dis turbance is feared. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. iifri-t 44 and Viciaity. Mr. aud Mr. C. G. Moore made a business trip down here Monday, re turning the same day. Members of Walter Com p ton's family are confined to the house, but nothing more serious we believe than very bad colda. J. II. Reed, who ha) been east tbe past mouth under treatment for his health, returned Monday of last week, feeling nearly as good as new. Town Board met last Saturday at the office of tho town clerk ; all those havitiir jut bills, properly presented at that time, will probably find their orders with the clerk. J. A. Hoag took sick last week in Merrick county, where he went two weeks ago to work on tbe house he is building on his homestead ; he re turned h.ime Friday. Harry Hickok, who purchased a aim necr Fullerton, Neb., has been resting up, all winter, and will start about March 1st for that place, where he will erect a house, and otherwise improve his farm. We know of a dozen farmers who would be pleased it Borne enterpris ing man would establish a sugar cane mill in or near the city- the coming season, hiu announce the fact in the Journal betore seeding time. A fire three miles south of here, and the stiine distance east of the city, about 4 o'clock Tuesday morn ing ot last week, proved to be the farm residence of J. Cresap; all of tbe valuables were gotten out, but the building was a total loss. The roads during the past winter have been nearl as good as plank roads, giving tbe farmers who had long hauls, a 6plemlid opportunity for marketing their surplus giaiu; while our friends in Illinois are plod ding itt mud knee deep, caused by recent heivv rains. ...Indttay. The corn is not all husked yet. Frank Connelly is a Jim Dandy to tie up buudles of groceries ami dry goods. The hotels at Newman's Grove run busses to aud from Lindsay to con nect with trains. The IS. It. Company have begun to haul piles to build bridges on tbe road to Oakdale. Those who have cotuo to this country of late years and see the fine farms well stocked and covered with buildings for every convenience have no idea of tbe hardships of the first settlers. There was some trouble recently about oue neighbor driving hogs across the land of another. Let us be mindful of the saying of the sweet singer of Israel: "Behold how good aud how pleasant it is tor brethreu to dwell together in unity." Hew -KditloM Settler Galde. Henry N. Copp, the land and pen sion lawyer of Washington, has just issued the twelfth edition of his Set tler's Guide. It is an indispensable book for all who are, or expect to bo, interested in public laud. Settlers will save money by purchasing it, and all who expect to take up land should get posted on the several laws under which land can he entered. A chapter, illustrated with numerous cuts, shows how to tell township, section and quarter-section corners, and explains the system of surveys. It gives Commissioner Sparks' ordera and late deciaions aud in structions, and full information about the homestead, pre-emption, timber culture, desert land, and other laws. The price of tho hook is only 25 cents. It will tell you who is eutitled to enter land ; how continuous your rosidence must be; what improve ments you must make; what affida vits you must swear to; all about contests, and on what grounds they can bo commenced; also about State lands, stone and timber lands, mineral lands, desert entries, saline, railroad, coal, townsite, and other lands; scrip, warrant, and other en tries, etc. Its purchase will save yon money and trouble, as erroneous statements circulated by conversa tion among settlers may, if acted upon, cost you a contest, perhaps your land and improvements. 1'ebeville.

I used al most every kind of medicine that promised a cure, but without any permanent result for good. Disap pointed and discouraged, and almost without hope, at the suggestion of a friend, I commenced the uso of Swift's Specific some three or four months ago.

I endured untold pains and anguish, with only now and then temporary relief from remedies applied by tho best physi cians in the country. Eighteen months ago I commenced the use of Swift's Specific with but little faith, a every other remedy had failed. I used five bottles, and with a grateful heart I testify today that I am well.
