Three Gallant Tonus General.
Maj. Gen. Miles was tie guest of
Gen. G. Pennypacker, at Philadelphia,
during the reunion of the Loyal Legion.
In the national army there were
three young generals who at the close
of the war became officers in the army.
These were Gen. Miles. Gen. McKenzie
and Gen. Pennyj acker. The last
named was the younges of them, in
deed, the youngest general in the anny.
-Gen. McKenzie, who was wounded
f badly, often succumbed some vears
ago to the strain consequent upon his
injuries and sufferings. Gen. Penny
packer, who was wounded seven times
in eight months, has been enabled by an
unusuallv strong constitution to endure

doa inflicted by a rebel bullet which.
as he led his brigade over the ramparts
of Fort Fisher and planted the Union
colors on the works, crushed the bone

The Proposition aa Agreed tJpon by the
Paep American Conference.
The president hag transmitted to con
gressaletUr from the secretary of state
inclosing the report of the international
American conference on the international
American bank scheme. In his letter the
president says it is not proposed to inrolve
the United States in any financial respon
sibility, bat only to gire to the proposed
bank a corporate franchise and to promote
public confidence by requiring that its
condition and transaction be submitted to
a scrutiny similar to that exercised over our
domestic banking system. The subject is
submitted for the consideration of congress
in the belief that it will be found possi
ble to promote the end desired by legisla
tion so guided as to astound all just criti
cism. In his letter to the president Secretary
Blaine sets forth the advantages to be de
rived from such a project and sajs in part.
"The merchants of this country are as de
pendent upon the bankers of Europe in
their financial transactions with their
American neighbors as they are upon the
ship owners of Great Britain for trans
portation facilities and will continue to
labor under those embarrassments until
direct banking eystms are established.
The report of the committee of the Pan
Amencan conference presents a simple
ana easy method of relief, and the enact
ment of the measure recommended will,
in the judgment of the conference, result
in the establishment of proper facilities
for inter-American banking."
A bill has been prepared in the state de
partment to carrv into effect the recom
mendations of tne committee. The bill
designates the United States delegates to
the pan-American conference as commis
sioners to receive subscriptions to the cap
ital stock of " The International American
bank," the books for which purpose may
be opened in Washington, Xew York and
j sabscribed the subscribers' shall have the
i usual powers to organize.a corporation,
; which shall have the same privileges now
i enjoyed by b&nks generally. Its acquisition
1 of real estate, however, is limited to 15 per
cent, of the capital stock paid in.
The corporation may be designated by the
secretary of the treasury as a depository of
1 public money, and may be employed as a
! financial agent of the government. The prin
! cipal office shall be in Washington or New
, York, with power to open branch offces in
i the United States. Mexico, and South and
Central America. The capital stock is
; fixed at S 10.000.000, in $100 bhares, which
may be increased by a two-thirdB vote to a
sum cot exceeding $'25,000,000. Business
may be begun as soon as 25 per cent of
subscription is paid in in cash; but
at least $5,000,000 must he paid in
' within two years. The board of di
rectors is to consist of twenty-five persons,
i not less than fifteen to be citizens of the
United States. Stockholders are made
liable to the amount of their subscriptions,
but no more. The corporation shall file,
nmi-nnnnllv with thn acrroturT nf th
treasury a report of their financial condi
tion, and their affairs shall at all times be
open to examination by officers of the
treasury department. Provision is made
for the appointment of a receiver and the
winding up of affairs in case the capital
stock is impaired more than 20 per cent, of
the amount of the capital stock actually
paid in, and the directors fail to make such
impairment good.
CRUSHED BY ICE.
' The Steamer Thingrvalla Collides wfth a
Monster Iceberg The Passengers Panic
i Stricken
j By taking an extremely northerly course
I the Danish steamship Xhingvaila, with
i 550 souls aboard, came very near to de-
I struction on May 19, by collision with an
iceberg. She came into New York with
eighteen feet of her iron stem crushed in.
That the damage was all above the water
line was due to the peculiar formation of
the berg, the submerged part of which had
' been melted away by the warm current of
the gulf stream, leaving the upper part
projecting. At 3 o'clock on the morning
of May 19 the lookout observed what they
supposed was a gigantic fog cloud
floating down on the ship. It was a
i fog cloud, but it surmounted a mass of ice
' a thousand feet square and from twanty
1 five to forty feet in height. The lookout
had hardly discovered the fog when the
Thin?valla crashed into the tremendous
i flow head on. Officer Jergensen had sig
nalled the engineer to stop and reverse at
: full speed, and the helm had been put to
starboard instantly, but the ice was too
close to be avoided. The vessel had
hardly begun to answer her helm and was
under fearful headway when the crash
'came. Thirty tons of ice tumbled on the
, fore castle and slid aft, along the deck.
One pieca struck the retreating lookout on
' the back of the head, knocking him down.
: The iolt of the impact threw Capt.
, Laub from his lounge and he ran out
on the bridge. The puseagen were
I awakened and scrambled zm deck in
ghostly attire and the -TJrrimy stokers
rushed up terror-stricken from the depths
of the furnace room. The panic wa only
momentary. Capt. Laub had the stokers
driven back, acd assured the passengers
tnat the fhip was all right, even before he
was sure of it. He went forward to see
j how badly the ship had been hurt. She
; had two feet of water in the forecastle and
! the crests of the heavy swells were rvshing
; m through a wide gap over the water line.
! The ship was stopped after backing a quar
ter of a mile from the berg, and all hands
were called forward to repair the damage.
A bulkhead ofv boards was built across the
bow and the space between the break and
the boards was filled with fifty barrels of
cement, the steamer being by this means
enabled to reach port in safety.

FATAL FIRE AT IilKCOLX.

During a fire in the livery barn of Bo

CHASED BY A RABID HORSE.
Ride for life of John Ryno to Escape a
Fearful Pursuer.
Monday morning, at 10 o'clock, a man
pallid with fear, driving at frantic 6peed a
horse attached to a buckboard, dashed into
Carthage, 111., and told a strange story.
His name is John Ryno, and be is a farmer
living five or six miles in the country. Byno
declared that he had Leen chased for five
miles by a rabid mare. His own horse
was covered with foam and showed the
I effects of a hard drive. Byno said his at-
I tention was first attracted by the running
of a horse behind him and he saw that a
J white mare was following his buckboard
about a hundred yards away. The animal
kept up a peculiar noise, resembling the
snarling of a dog. She came up rapidly,
and when within fifty feet Byno, to bis
horror, saw that the brute was suffering
from rabies. The eyes and nostrils of
I the animal were distended, and the hideous
, yelps became mora frequent and pro-
, nounced. Byno lashed his Horse into a
I run, but there was no need, as the ani-
, mal had begun to tremble and whinny
with fear, and broke away at her highest
speed. But the mad mare gained, and was
soon biting and snapping at the buck
board wheela, at Byno and at his horse.
Byno beat the brute in the face with his
wbipstock, but to no effect. He says the
awful mce lasted fully five miles. A pas
senger train on the railroad came along
when near town and the mare, with a hid
eous squeal, leaped a low hedge and ran
after the train. Byno watched the race
until the horse and train were lost to sight
around a curve. What became of the rabi 1
horse is not known.
TRATX VERY MAD.
The Champion Globe GIrdler Curses Ta
coma and Raises a Big Bow.
George Francis Train arrived at Taeoma
from hia trip around the world in a tower
ing rage, and has been denouncing Ta
eoma in the bitterest language. From her
champion and friend he has turned to
bitter denunciation of the people for their
failure m providing him a special train
from New York to Taeoma over the
Northern Pacific. That railroad de
clined to furnish him even transporta
tion, and the world-beater rattles away
like a parrot against Jay Gould, whom
he always denounced, and Henry Til
lard, both of whom he blames. At
Huntington, Ore., he was robbed of $600
and bis transportation. This increased his
anger, and when he arrived at Portland
and found no special train to carry him to
Taeoma he worked himself into a frenzy.
He says that if he had had any money,
having been robbed of his last cent, he
would not have gone to Taeoma, but would
have returned to New York by the next
train. He tried to borrow money to take
him back, but nobody in Portland would
let him have it. He strode up and down
the aisle of the car denouncing Taeoma
with picturesque profanity. He paid $1,000
for a baggage car from New York to Port
land to carry the special edition of New
York papers advertising Taccma and the
trip, and these he refused to distribute.

O VERRTJ" BY MAD DOGS.
People of Western Illinois Panic-Stricken
by an Epidemic of Hydrophobia.
Hydrophobia has become epidemic in
Fulton and .Hancock counties. Dogs are
going mad by the 6cores. A mad hound
in Fulton county bit James Bevord, caus
ing his death in horrible agony. The
brute ran amuck through the county,
biting many dogs and domestic animals,
r Several other citizens were bitten besides
Bevard, but tney as yet have suffered no
inconvenience from the wounds. Tney
applied, as did Bevard, the Hancock
county madstone. The last victim in Ful
ton connty is L. W. Potts, of Liverpool
townshm. He was bitten on the hand by
his own getter two or three days ago. An at
tempt was made to kill the dog, but it
escaped and treed John A. Elmore, who
barely escaped its fangs. It was shot by
Henry Brocks after biting several of
Brocks' cattle. Another dog went mad
near Plymouth and a posse of men on
horseback gave pursuit. The animal was
brought to bay and killed under a bridge.
At Ferris a dog belonging to Allen Gold
man was seized with rabies and attacked
Goldman. Dogs are going mad in all parts
of the county and the authorities are kill
ing all the dogs in eight. It is believed
that the hydrophobia epidemic originated
from a huge Newfoundland dog that, two
years ago, bit many dogs and domestic
animals. A young man named Arthur
Yates was bitten and died in horrible con
vulsions. Dead Indians fur Torches.
The Indians of northern British Colum

In response to an inquiry from Senator
Dern, of Dodge county, who has been
elected county treasurer, Attorney-General
Leese rendered an opinion, declaring that
the fact that he had accepted and entered
upon the duties of treasurer of Dodge
county did not deprite him of the right to

and senators who are holding such offices
as mayor of cities, county commissioners,
eto , will be entitled to sit in the special

Denied the Requisition.
R. C. Limberton, the ex-casnier of the
broken bank of Humboldt, some time ago
left the state and went to Harris burg, Pa.
Recently the grand jury indicted Lamber
ton for falsifying the records of the bank,
and Gov. Thayer issued requisition pa
pers for him. Gov. Beaver, of Pennsyl
vania, however, declined to give up the
prisoner on the ground that the indict
ment was defective, and the Nebraska of
ficer was obliged to return without his
man.
Invited to Cogitate.
Says the Gresham Revieic: People in
the east who think we don't grow much
corn out this way are respectfully invited
to cogitate on the following item; George
H. Jacobson shelled on four sections of
land near MeCcol, 60,000 bushels of corn,
all raised on the land. He has shelled
within a radius of five miles 160.000 bush- ,
els in the past two months. This with

people have lost their lives. Tha local
I train connecting at Oakland with the
ferryboats from San Francisco ran
through an opdn drawbridge over San
Antonio Creek at Webster street. Oak
land. The yacht .Tuanita had jtist
passed through the draw when the
train appeared, going in the direction
of Alameda. The drawbridse keeper
endeavored at once to close the bridse.
but it was too late, and the engine with
the tender and the first car. which was
filled with rusonsers, plunged into the
creek, whit h was here quite deep.
Engineer Sam Dunn, when he saw
that the bridg" did notciosc, reversed
the lever, but the momentum of the en
gine was too ereat to allow him to stop
t t he train in time. The weight of the
engine and the first car broke the coup
lings and left the other two cars of the
tra'n standing on the track. The sec
ond tarran about a third of thewav
across the bridge and stopped, but the
ar was sufhVent to break open the
front oT the car. and many of the pas
sengers were thrown Into the water.
The first car. which had followed tha
engine to the bottom of the muddy es
tuary, soon rose, and such of the passen
gers a had escaped were picked np by
the yachts and -mrfll boats which gath
ered at the scene. The trainmen and
the rest of the passengers set to work to
help the rescuers, and when the wreck
ing train arrived from Oakland the car
was drawn into shallow water and small
boat? began dragging the creek for the
bodies of the victims.
The top of tne passenger coach was
cut onen as soon as it was raised above
the water and the work of removing the j
bodies commenced, ten being taken out I
in rniick succession. Three women and'
three girls were taken from the water
alive and removed to the receiving hos
pital. Another young lady died soon
after being taken from the water.
The news of the accident created in
tense excitement in Oakland and thous
ands of people flocked to the morgue and
to the scene of the wreck. At the
morgue bodies were laid out as soon A3
received to await identification.
The body of E. P. Robinson, which
was among those taken from the hole
cut in the roof of the car, was among
the first removed, and was taken charge
of by Coroner Ever. The bodies of six
men and two women
were brought in
soon after, some of the bodies being at
first left at the receiving hospital,
where the injured were also taken. In
ft -liort time thirteen bodies lay on the
floor and on the marble slabs of the
morgue awaiting identification, and
heartrending scenes were witnessed as
friends came forward to claim their
dead. The list of the identified is as
follows:

left the city," he said, "on
i:-j train tor Alameda on tne narrow
guage. I was seated on the front seat
of the first car, facing the engine. All
went well until just as we approached
the drawbridge crossing Sail Antonio
creek. As we drew near to the
bridge it seemed to me the draw wa
open and that a fearful accident was
inevitable, .lust then a man jumped
from the engine into the water, and
then came a crash. A horrible crush
ing of timber and snapping of heavy
iron-work followed, and at on'c con
sternation prevailed in the car. The
next thing I knew I found myself blindly
groping for the door, which I fortu
nately found and opened. When I
found myself on the platform I gradually
worked my way by climbing and hold
ing on to the front of the car to the
roof, which I had just reached when
that end of the car rose out of
th1 water, and quite a number of people
escaped in this manner, principally
women and children. The car was about
two-thirds full when we left the wharf,
and I should judge there were at least
fifty people in it. There was a fearful
outcry when the car began to fill, but
this was almot immediately hushed in
one long final wail of despair."
James Dunlap. who was tending the
bridge at the time of the accident. aid:
I was in charge at the time
and had just opened the draw to
to allow the yacht Juanita to pass
through. I was in the act of moving
the draw back into place when the up
train from an Francisco came along.
That is all I know about it." He de
clined to answer the question if it was
not rather unusual to open th draw
just at the hour when the train wasdu.
The water over wnich the bridge Is
built is an estuary of San Francisco bay.
A strong current runs in the stream,
which at the point of the accident is
about 300 feet wide and twenty feet deep.
A passenger train crosses the bridge
every half hour, during the day and
when the bridge is open the keeper is
supposed to signal by hoisting a rr-d
flag. The bridgetender ay the
danger flag was properly set in th" cen
ter of the track when th bridge wa.
opened for the yacht Juanita to pass.
It Is known that the engineer and
fireman both escaped. It seems proba
ble that the terrible accident was due to
the carelessness of the engineer.
It i now know that there were fortv
eight people in the car that went down.
Of these nineteen are known to have es
caped with their lives, making the prob
able number of the killed twentv-nine.

Weather Crop ft title tin for the Week End -ins
y ?4
The weather crop bulletin issued for the
week ending May 21. says the recent rains
in the n?rthwgt have greatly improved
the crop conditio.? in that section, includ
ing the states of Minnesota, Dakota?. Ne
braska, and Iowa, although local droughts
are reported in North Dakota and north
western Minnesota. While the rains have
been favorable for small grain, it has been
too cool for corn, which is being replanted
in some sections of Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri. In Kansas the weather for the
week was not so favoiable. and crops were
Injured in some sections, except in
the southeast, where wheat was improved.
Cold and wet weather hae retarded seeding
in i.ichigtn and Indiana, where conditions
are-genrjlly reported as unfavorable, ex
cept that the grass crcp has been improved.
In Tennessee. Kentucky and Arkansas,
crop conditions are reported as improving.
Kentucky reports tobacco plants not doing
well: wheat fair; fruit prospects improving.
Tennessee reports wheat injured by rnst;
half crop; oats failure: other crops growing
wellj tobacco favorable; cotton improving,
outlook better. In the gulf states the
weather was generally favorable and cropa
improved rapidly during tbe latter part of
the week, although the season ia from ten
to twenty dajs late. In the lower Missis
sippi valley the backwater is receding
slowly, and replanting is in progress. In tb
south Atlantic states cool nights retarded
the growth of cotton, which, however,
is reported in eicellent condition. The
oat harvest is in progress in South Caro
lina, with fair prospects. Wheat is re
porte 1 m poor condition. Corn and po
tatoes good. Cool, wet weather in the
Nev England and the middle Atlantic
States has retarded the growth of crops
and delayed farm work, although grass and
grain are generally reported in good condi
tion. Tbe week was unfavorable in New
Jersey for tender vegetables, and the con
dition of the corn crop is unfavorable from
North Carolina northward, owing to wet
weather and delay in planting. Reports
from California state that the weather dur
ing the early part of the week was favor
able for fruit and gram, and that during
the latt-r pait cf the week unfavorable
northerly winds occurred in the Sacra
meuto Valley. Grain and fruit prospects
continue good in Oregon; light showers
on Monday proved very beneficial, but
more ra-n is needed.
Cabinet Change.
It is rumored that Secretary Noble and
Pension Commissioner Raum are con-
templating retiring from official life. Sec
retary Noble has been offered a remunera
tive place as an attorney for one of the
Pncifia railroads, and the offer is such n
tempting one that it is thought by his most
intimtte friends that he will accept it July
1. Commissioner Ranm is largely inter
ested in a company manufactunngapatent
refrigerator, and the busmesss of the
company has grown to such dimensions as
to require bis personal attention to its af
fairs. If Secretary Noble resigns rumor
pits that Mr. Clarkson will be appointed
secretary of the interior, and it is thought
his withdrawal from the pout office depart
ment is in view of this probable forthcom
ing change.

Tramp Destroy a Town.
A disastrous fire ret by tramps destroyed
every house in the city of Coolidge, N. M.,
except the railroad eating house and the
depot building. The tramps had been
loitering around town for several days and
were infuriated because citizens had made
ureparations to drive them out. The
leader of the tramps is believed to be
Black Rube, a half-breed, who not long asjo
aided in holding up a stage coach in the
northern part of the territory. For three
days he had held control of the town.
Tribute was levied on the stores, the de
mands being emphasized by a show
of weapons. Rube's following was
increased by ragged re-enforcements
from every direction. Residents were not
allowed to walk the etreets, and were
finally driven to wage war in self-defens.
Their resistance enraged the tramps, and
in retaliation inflammables were scattered
among the buildings and set on fire. Be
fore the ashes of the town were cool a
posse of citizens on hoisebark weie m
pursuit of the tramps, and lynchings are
probable.
