SDI1ARIZED HAPPENINGS.
A Brief Compendium of the
Busy World's Events.
SEAL CATCHERS KICK.
THE NORTH AMERICAN COM
PANY CLAIMS DAMAGES.
The Company Has Carried Out tke Terms
or Itn Contract and Will Demand Heavy
Recompense Tor Losing Its Valuable
Seal Privileges.
The North American Commercial
company, through its attorney. Judge
Jeffries, has Tiled a protest with the
treasury department at Washington.
It states that it was assured of a quota
or 00,000 ?.eal skins during 1890 and
upon that assurance, made a large out
lay. It was compelled to cease taking
seals July 20 last, when the season had
not expired and only one-third of the net
quota of skins was obtained. On this
account the company sustained a loss of
$400,000. It again submits a formal
protest against the action of the United
States in once more preventing it from
taking the full quota of seals. It gives
notice to the secretary of the treasury
that it will claim to be reimbursed by
the United States to the full amount of
the loss it may sustain by reason of its
being prohibited from taking the full
quota this year. The company avers
that it has carried out Its contract in
expending money for various purposes
in Alaska, and the government has the
right regardless of Great Britain to
prevent seal catching on the islands of
st i.inl m.il St. (icorce. which arc in
undisputed possession of the United
States.
To Keep Out Paupers.
Immigration Agent Stilcd; has left
Chicago for iSault Ste. Mario under or
ders from the treasury department to
make a thorough investigation of the
report that a great many Russian Jews,
paupers and other European cast-offs
are crossing into the United States at
various points near the straits. If Mr.
Stilch's investigation warrants it a spe
cial agent of the immigration depart
ment may be permanently stationed at
the straits.

went to Alaska to prospect for minerals
have returned to San Francisco after
great hardships. One of their number,

Last week copious rains broke the
drouth in the cast and middle gulf
states. Maximum rainfalls are reported
as follows: Waynesborongli, Ga., 5.1
inches: Gainesville and Toccoa, Ga.. 4.2
inches; Augusta, Ga., 3.83 inches. The
.only portions of the country where no
rain fell arc tho middle Aew England
coast, the middle plateau region and in
South California. The rainfall was one
inch below the normal in Iowa and two
inches above the normal in Tennessee
andju northern portions of Alabama
and Georgia.
A terrible rain storm swept through
the Illinois river valley doing great dam
age to crops. In Hilton a number of
houses were washed from their founda
tions and the people fled in their night
Clothes 'to the railroad grade and. hills.
At Faraadale, seven miles east, the
water rose into the houses to the depth
of three feet. Herds of cattle and horses
aad many hogs and chickens were swept
away, and crops for a lonf distance
were utterly ruined. One fatality
was reported and it was in the Copperas
creek valley in Fulton county. When
the flood rushed down the valley a
farmer named Gray became alarmed
and taking his three boys, aged 12. 8
and 5, he started for the hills. Ills wife
refused to leave the house, taking
refuge on the roof. When Gray was
half way across the valley a floating
log struck him and partially stunned
him. The three boys were drowned and
Gray narrowly escaped. His wife was
rescued. The damage to railroads,
bridges, etc, will be very heavy.
Loantoka surprised the sports and
won the Suburban handicap at Sheeps
head Bay, defeating Tenny and Tea
Tray, the favorites. The race Itself
proved very sensational, inasmucn as
Tenny, who went to the post the great
est favorite ever known in the Suburban,
was not only defeated for first place,
but finished' In the rear. The second
choice, Tea Tray, finished absolutely
last, but Major Domo, third choice,
managed to get a place by a length
from Cassius. The .winner, Loantaka,
the 5-year-old son of Sensation and
Peggy Dawdle, was a long shot in
the betting, there being as much as 40
to 1 against him.
Johx Bardsley's defalcation of Phil
adelphia and Pennsylvania state moneys
amounts to 81,375,000. In addition to
that enormous sum, he has apparently
lost S-'GO.OOO, which he made in his office
during the past two years. This makes
a grand total of 81,635,000, which John
Rardsley has managed to siuk out of
sight in a little more than two years.
The state loses 821,000. The city loses
554.000. and Bardsley's personal loss is
260,000. Where all of this money has
gone is still a mystery. The city offi
cials are reariul that mere are sun iur
ther deficits hidden in Bardsley's check
book and private memoranda.
Secretary Foster in his speech
written for delivery at the Ohio republi
can state canvention, paid particular
attention to the silver question, and
made a special point in regard to coin
age, calling attention to the fact that
after July 1 it will bo discretionary with
the secretary of the treasury whether
silver coinage continue or not. A great
many suggestions have been offered the
secretary on this, indicating a strong
sentiment against suspending silver
coinage, and. it is within the range of
probability that the coinage will con
tinue after July 1, for a while at least.
The long discussed boxing contest be
tween Jake Kilrain, of Baltimore, and
Frank Slavin, of Australia, for a 10,
000 purse, took place at the club-house
of the Granite Athletic association. Ho
boken. Slavin was declared the winner
in the ninth round. Kilrain had the
advantage until the third round but in
that round a terrible blow from Slavin
under Kilrain's left ear. practically set
tled the fight. Thus did Kilrain meet
his last Waterloo and pass into the
ranks of second-class men.
IN THE WEST.

express cars, several coaches and two
slecners, crashed through the bridge
over Coon river. Only tho rear sleeper.
remained on the track. Two passengers
are known to have been killed and a
large number were injured. The en
gineer escaped unhurt, but the
conductor and one brakeman
are reported badly injured.
It was raining hard at the time of the
accident and the darkness and storm in
creased tho awful confusion. The loco
motive was derailed in some manner
just as it neared the trestle, ran on the
ties and struck the support and tumbled
over into the stream below, dragging
after it all but the rear sleeper. The
list of injured will reach thirty, some of
whom are probably fatally injured.
A strong oak tie was picked up from
the track of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul road near Coon Rapids, where
the recent wreck occurred. A gang of
Italian laborers has been employed on
the road and the company has recently
had trouble with them. Someone put
the tie in the frog and caused the
wreck. Two passengers were certainly
killed in the wreck and two tramps are
also missing.
Trouble on the Fon du Lac Indian
reservation has broken out afresh in
Minnesota. The Indians destroyed

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.
The national executive committee of
the people's party in session at St. Louis
declared itself unalterably opposed to
fusion with any other political party.
The concensus of opinion was that the
principal issues to be contended for will
be the sub-treasury plank, opposition to
banks of issue, to advocate government
control or membership In the means of
communication and transportation
(telegraph and railroads) and to uphold
the Interest of the wage earners as
against the encroachments of capital.

FOREIGhf JOTTINGS.
A horrible accident occurred on tne
Moenchen, Stelnes fc Bale railway In
Switzerland through the collapse of ft
bridge beneath a heavily loaded excur
sion train. The train was crowded with
people on the way to attend a musical
fete. Sixty persons were killed out

the car were drownedy Two cars re
mained suspended frjpi the bridge. All
the fainmen were Willed. The bridge
was in iron skeleWm structure, which
was -onsidered yM built and substan

The Hon. J. S.M. Abbott, has been
called upon to forafa Canadian Ministry,
and has undertaken the task.
Under the circumstances, Lord Stan
ley,in callingfTupou Senator Abbott to
frame a govarnmtn, has done the only
th.B? that Appeared feasible to enable
the Tory varty to hold control of the
treasury benches at Ottawa.
Sir John Thompn was first called,
but he soon discovered when he under
took the formation of a cabinet that it
was a task he was unable to carry to a
successful Issua He discovered, that the
ultra-Protestant province of'Ontar o,
which gave Sir John MacdodKld's Gov
ernment a support of fortnight mem
bers, -would not accept Join as lrimc
Minister, he having at ontime tinned
from Protestant to Catholic. Sir C banes
T tipper's attempt to4reck the Grand
Trunk Railway, the second lar est cor
poration in the country, put him out of
the race, so that SJfalor Abbott was the
only one whom ftwas possible for tho
Governor Gener to call upon, lest ho

through the House the "insol

work aslLlezislator. In 1867, upon
coufe .'crathnWMr. Abbott was elected
to.the iioiiso oWJjomraons. In the nego
t:ations of the syhdicate, of which Sir

At Chicago, Actor JasL. Edwards
suicided, while despondent ovemho death
of his mother a few weeks a ;o. He was
leading man with H. R. Jacobs' com
pany. Thero is a remarkable coincidence in
the death of Edwards with the death of
Actor Henry Aveling, a few weeks ago,
in New Yort. When Edwards left the
Paul Kauvar Company his place was
taken by Aveling, .an English actor of
considerable prom'nence. One morning
he was round dead in nis room in ft K
New York hotel. It was a delib
erate case of self-murder. He
left letters which gave directions
for the care of his body. Aveling also
died from morphine. But the strange
part of it all was that Edwards wfts en
gaged to play the leading role in "Paul
auver" next season. He was a mem
of the Actors Order of Friendship.

Jeaa W. Keokwalter's Sdheme to Make
Farm Life Lass Objectionable.
John W. Bookwalter, the many time
millionaire is about to t.y a novel ex
periment in Pawnee county. Neb. He
owns 20,000 acres of land in that county
and proposes to set in motion a plan that
wl'l revolutionize the present habits' ol
living among farmers. He says the
secret of the discontent prevailing
among farmers is the constant isolation
the living apart from all the rest oi
the world and civilization itself. Mr.
Bookwalter's idea Is to correct this
source of discontent by collecting far
mers together - in ft small area, not in
villages, but in little groups, so to speak.
Let the houses be arranged regardless
of streets or sidewalks, just so they are
near each other. Then have the farms
all about, encircling the homes. They
need not be more than one-third of a
mile distant, but don't have the farm
land and the homestead together. Mr.
Bookwalter has already started the idea
in Pawnee county and the litsu settle
ment has been named after hirarle is
going to build a town ibaUsaKd ablish
a free circuIatinjLjiWwryTHe Mks the
scheme is iayasfue among the fajmers
of FranceSpain, Italy and Switzerland,
and Is ffreat success. He talked with
the rustics of each of these countries
and tafd them of the American farmer's
way of living and they held up their
handsfin horror at such ft thought. Mr.
Bookwalter will also build homes in this
little settlement for every farmer who
will agrebto his scheme and promise to
work for 1 advancement. The rent of
the home will be a merely nominal sum
one that tft poorest farmer cau pay,
and if at the end of a certain number of
years he has decupled it and improved
his opportunities., he can buy the home
at a small price. Mr. Bookwalter pro
noses to snend between 75,000 and
100,000 on his project as it is already
an assured success.
Nebraska Crop llpJletln.
The weekly weather arX crop bulle
tin for Nebraska, issued b the Bos well
observatory, says tho continued cool,
cloudy, wet weather has hvdered tho
growth and cultivation oflcorn, but
small grain generally is in excellent
condition. The temperature was been
decidedly below average ami clouds
have almost continuously overcast the
sky. The rainfall has been everywhere
above the average, except in; the ex
treme ftorthwest, and generally much
above Jhe average. Heavy rains on the
5th and 6th, followed by cloudy weather
and mjure or less rain all the week, have
kept tfi? surface of ground too wet for
cultivation and corn is becoming weedy.
The weather has been favorable for the
growth of small grain, which in mot
parts of the state never looked better,
with the exception of some faliown
grain that was injured by the drouth of
last fall. In the northeast the drouth
hindered the growth, of small grain in
the early part of the 'season, but it is
now reported in fair condition anu
promising an average i crop. Corn is
everywhere reported backward, and in
some sections at least two weeks behind
the average condition for this season of
the year. Some of the corn Is turning
yellow and some replanting has been
necessary, owing to destruction py cut
worms and washing out by heavy rains,
but generally the corn is in. healthy

condition.

each taking him by the arm. Schrocder
seized a billiard cue, shouting to Uolli

The fight that followed was a lively
one In it Langosch re.eived the shot
that will cost him his life. Schrocder
attempted to fell him to tho floor with
the cue, but was grappled, Langosch
overpowering the salojn-keeper, knock
I g him down with his own weapon.
Meanwhile, Hemmiugand HoIIiday woro

bo knocked down. .lutas tho men were
preparing to leave Fred Schrocder. who
hail gone up-stairs for a revolver, ruhed
into the saloon. His sudden apiearanco
iut a stop to proceedings. Soeing Ids
mother and father both lying on tho
floor, young Schrooder did not hesitate
to lire immediately, leveling his gun
dlreetly at I.augosclu The latter sank
to tho lleor instantly.
The police arrested Hemmiugand Fred
Schrocder. Langosch was removed to
his home, where upon examination it
was found the bullet ha I passed entirely
through his .stomach and lodged in tils
back. The attending physician said he
Jcoiild not live. Langosch is a well-known
f-liaracter and crvud a term in .loliet.
Mr. and Mrs Schrooder were not serl
uusly injured, although their wounds
were of a painful nature. -
Langosch is a notorious character,
and has been feared by almost every
one who knew him. Ho was released
from tho penitentiary only five weeks
ago, but since then iias been known to
have taken no !e.-s than six rides in tho
patrol wagon. Cn one occasion he en
gaged in a fiiiht and was stabbed eleven
times, tho marks of which are still fresh
on his body. Itut, criminal that he is,
he showed a tenderness after being shot
which touched the hearts of the otlicers,
who, all their livos, havo' been ac
customed to scenes of vlolenco
ami hard character. Langosch uos
itivcly refused to bo taken to tho
hospital, and insisted on being carried
to his home. Officer Byrnes asked
him if ho had any one to care for him
at homo, and he replied that ho bad a
"kind old mother." When the patrol
came within 100 feet of the houso Lan
gosch begged the officers to allow him to
walk the remainder of the way. He said
his mother would faint, and the thought
of that huit him more than the fatal
wound in his body. The officers grant.
cd his request and Luugosch without
assistance walked to his mother's house.
With tho ut'iiost composure he seated
himself in a.-ummer-house ami buttoned
his clothes so that no blood was seen.
The mother, who N 6' ears old, alarm
ed by the presence of the officers, camo
in wringing her hand'.
When Laugosch saw her he crossed his
legs and, putting a cigar to his mouth,
said: "Mother, give me a match." Mrs.
Langosch brought him a match, and the
cigar w as lit. He took a few puffs and
a quantity of blood tilled his mouth.
Even then he seemed to forget that he
was mortally wounded, and, thinking
only of his mother, asked an officer
to step aside that he might spit
in the weeds, whore his mother
would not see tho blood. A physician
arrived and ordered him to bo
placed on a bed. Langosch would not
bo carried, but arose and walked con
fidently into another room, where ho lay
down. There his nerve did not desert
him. He requested not to bo chloro

saying that it must be don while Ids
eyes were open, that his mother would
'not think him badly hurt. And he even
went so far as to ask for a ra-or that he
might reach around to his back and cut
the fatal bullet out himself.
A CLOSE SEALING SEASON.
An Aareeinent Iteaclied by American aad
Eri ish Authorities.
The aerccnicnt for a closed season in
llering Sea was signed by the represent
atives of the two :ocrnmcnts, William
F. Wharton, Acting Secretary for tho
United States, ami Sir .lulian Paunco
.fote for England, ami the President at
once issued his proclamation ordering
tho stoppage of seal killing, and
warning off the poachers. Hy tiie pn
tvisions of the new modus Vivendi both
governments prohibit tho killing of seals
(except the 7,."0O necesary for the sup
port of tiie Indians) until tho first of
.next May. To this ond both govern
ments will cooperate to the extent of
their ability, and the naval vessels of
both powers are authorized to seize tho
vessels found disobeying the agreement,
with this important proviso, that vessels
so seized shall he turned over to the
authorities to which they belong for
trial, the captors supplying the e idence.
Thus at last the orders have come from
tho United States and from ('treat ISrit
tain that the Canadian seal murderers
must desist from their brutal work, at
least until next May. by which time tho
two ountries may have settled by arbi
tration, and our naval voxels will pro-
Eecd'at ouco to tho sea to enforce tho
reclamation of the I resident. Thero

ircat Britain may he congratulated
for Its decision to no longer support tho
murderous pretensions of the Canadian
poachers. The administration may be
congratulated upon establishing a modus
Vivendi pending the arbitration. Tho
female seals may be congratulated upon
es aping from 1 he h artless Canadian
butchers, and all the seals in ISehring
Sea (excepting the unlucky 7,."0t) who
mu t sacrifice themselves for food and
clothing) may be congratulated also that
they wi.l have at least one season of
