A Leader special1 from Akron gives the
folli wing particulars of the wreck :
At a:27 : this t morning train No. 8 , cast
bound , while rounding u uurvo one anil a
half miles cast Of Tnllmngu , came suddenly
upon part of freight train No. Hi. There was
a dense fog. and this conspired with other
things to miike the accident lic.yond human
power to avert. Engineer Harlington had
just time to reverse his engine when the
dreadful crash came. Ho was instantly
killed.
The freight was heavy , and while it was
climbing a grade a coupling parted about the
middle of the train. It was decided to resort
the common expedient of doubling up.
Flagmen were -Immediately sent out ,
one cast anil another west , to warn
any approaching train , lirnkcitmii Hradloy
was sent alicad to Hag the cast bound pas
senger , which was known to lie about duo.
Mcentiino the llrst part of the broken
freight train was taken to Talmadgo station.
The engine then returned to the second part.
A signal was given which is said to huvo
been to sun mon back the flag man .stationed
at the cast. Flagman Urndlcy took it to bo
for him also , and started back to the freight.
The engineer of the freight engine says
that no recall was sounded , but , at any rate ,
Jiradlcy heard it and so went back.
The freight had Just got under motion to
go to Talmadgo when the express came
along. The momentum of the fast train
was somewhat checked by the reverse
but the crash was terrific , nevertheless. The
freight engineer mid brakcincn Jumped , and
escaped serious injury. The passenger engine
was crushed into bits tind mingled with thu
wreckage behind it. The freight engine
reared up and stood almost , on end. Engineer
Huntington and Fireman Walters , of the ex-
prces , were terribly crushed. The bravo ,
engineer was disembowelled , his head
crushed and his limbs broken and doubled
up. The passenger train consisted of a com
bination baggaec and express car , and a
smoker , , common coach and two sleepers.
J'hc greatest horror came when the baggage
car and smoker , which telescoped with the
common coach , took lire. Engineer Jones ,
of the Kent yard engine , llvo miles off , begun
to be uneasy , und looking down the truck ,
saw through the trees the glare of the
burning cars. After the accident the two
telescoped coaches appeared as one , and
from the shattered and burning cars came
thu groans and shrieks of the unfortunates.
Theifcamou scene of terror , the strong
struggling to escape a horrible death by ilro ,
nnd the wounded praying for succor from
ttio flames that were fast enveloping them.
One man , Gcorgo Shaw , pinned it : by the
wreckage , managed by superhuman efforts ,
to release his lower limbs and escaped cut
nnd bruised. In the smoker were eight
Chinamen. Five were pulled out nlivo but
half dead from fright. Thrcco were never
seen after the crash , and bones and bits of
charred fie sh gathered up in u bag were all
that was found of them.
Ono of the pathetic scenes was that attend
ing tno death of the little orphan , Mary Ann
Lyon , who was being sent from Idaho on n
second class ticket to relatives in New York.
The friends whom she niado on the train
were compelled to stand idly by while the
unfortunate- child burned to death , pinned
down by the wreck of the scat in tha smok
ing car. The passengers in the rear sleeper
wcro hardly aroused by the concussions of
the wreck.

in now getting down to business with n ven
geance. The memorial to congress providing
for division of the territory nnd admission
of two states at once , was presented to the
governor for his signature to-day. Although
n democrat , Governor Church is heartily In
favor of division nnd admission , as was
proven by his message to the legislature ,
and ho will give the memorial his speedy ap
proval. Arrangements are being made for
the holding of the constitutional conventions
for North and South Dakota , the only differ
ence of opinion being us to where they should
bo located. The republicans of the legis
lature have Issued a call for a caucus , which
will he held this evening , for the purpose of
deciding upon party action , and an attempt ,
will be made to form a conciliation to pass
bills over the governor's veto. The members
who live In localities where there are Institu
tions demanding Appropriations are taking
advantage of this opportunity to override the
governor's objections to largo appropria
tions , and in nil probability n two-thirds com
bination will be funned. It has also leaked
out that the republicans who desire to hold
the territorial olllces will attempt to have the
caucus endorse the plan of sending u com
mittee to General Harrison to prevail
upon him to appoint a republican gov
ernor for thu territory immediately
after March , so thai the unices may be
taken from the iloinoerats. As the legisla
ture will adjourn on March S it will bo n
( lilllciilt task to get n republican on the
ground before the body adjourns.
The proposition to compel railroad , tele

On motion of Mr. McHrlde the house went

serting the words , "No private company or

that he Intended to Introduce u supple
mentary bill authorizing the governor to em
ploy deputy sheriffs in cases of riot , and that
they shall bo paid by n special tax levied on

mittee was renewed and curried.
After disposing of Morrissoy's bill , the
committee of the whole took up house roll
No. : H Mr. Koipor's .bill. The Intention of
the bill is to compel county boards to pay the
expenses of the sheriff in serving papers in
cases of misdemeanors , a matter now left to
their discretion. A very animated discussion
followed. St. Rayncr thought that such a
law would bankrupt this section of the
country.
" Huhcr ably defended the bill. Ho said that
parties who are compelled to attend court
should certainly be paid for It , and that ofll-
ccrs who serve warrants should not bo com

Delayed in the fa'tmati : .
LINCOLN , Neb. , Jan , 14. [ Special to THU
line. ] The senate has now been In session
; wo weeks , and yet no bill has passed the
third roadlnr ? . They have gone throtiKh the
order of busnois formally , but no important
action has been taken. The modlllcation of
thu original action , which requires the print-
nf ot ull bills after the second reading is the
cause of this. The senate meets , and , after
going through the motions of doing business ,
adjourns , it has gone on. in this way now
for n week , nnd how much longer it will
thus continue no man can toll. Everybody
supposed that the senate would get down to
business a week ago , but there is ns yet no
sign of business. Committees Imvo con
sidered several bills , and have been
ready to report them for u week past ,
but- everything has to await the
pleasure of the printers , who seem to bo In
no hurry to facilitate the public business ,
Meanwhile thu scnntu meets nnd adjourns at
the price of some $500 per day. The action
of the senate iri recommending the resolu
tion originally adopted was foolish. It was
not done because any senator really thought
it a necessary or useful scheme. It was done
ut the Instance of n horde of Lincoln printers
who saw themselves deprived of the chance
to print all the bills that should bo offered at
n cost of 1,03 a page of coarsly printed mat
ter. The whole opposition originated with
the printers. Nobody else eared n tig
whether the bills wcro printed
or not. The tax payers , who will bo
called upon to foot the expensive bills for
useless printing , will bo expected to pay
without a protest the enormous expenses at
taching to the running of the senate for a
week , nnd thu largo cxhonso of printing hills
that nobody will ever read. The cost of the
needless delay will probably foot up fully
$10,000 before the senate concludes its ses
sion. And so the massive wheels of the sen
ate continue to move slowly around , greased
by the sweat of the'farmers who will be
called upon to foot the bills.

Hisbee I don't favor establishing more
than two or three at most. Of course , 1
want ono at O'Neill , in 'ny own county.
Coleman of Antelope 1 don't know what
I may favor. I have not yet met the chair
man and don't want to oxpresn myself.
Yut/y I think the state might have
another north of the I'lutto , but am opposed
to all extravagance of every sort , and will
not favor devising any now ways for spend
ing the public monoy.
Winter I don't believe any of the bills
will pass. Fremont has a building which It
will donate to the stuto , and I may be in
favor of establishing , ono there. My own
town of Ainsworth would hue to haven
school and It would boa good location , but I
don't think there is any possible show of HU-
curin one for that locality.
Dillor I don't approve the policy of scat
tering the stuto institutions. I think it would
be better if they were all ut Lincoln. I don't
think wo can afford to establish over two at
most. My colleague , Mr. Linker , I think ,
holds about the same-views that I doand will
favor establishing twoornot more than Unit.

LINCOLN , Neb. , Jan. 14. [ Special Teln-
gram to THE Bcc.l The republican mem
bers of both houses mot to-night in the house
for the purpose of nominating a candidate
for United States senator. General Cannon
was elected chairman. Ho said that there is
but ono way to have a sjtrong representation
In congress firstto select good , able men

There were 110 present. Messrs. Hansom

Mr. Hansom moved that further ballottlng
bo dispensed with , and Hon. C. F. Mandor-
son be declared the unanimous nominee of
the convention , which was carried.
The chair , under instructions from the
house , informed Manderson by telegraph
that he hud been unanimously nominated by

the convention adjourned.

their candidate for United States senator.
THE PACKING HOUSE RATES.
The Matter Thoroughly Discussed ut
a Electing in Chicago.
CIIICAUO , Jan. 14 , The demand of the Chicago
cage packers that uniform rates be madD on
shipments of llvo hogs and packing house
products from western points , led to a con
ference to-day between a committee of the
packers and representatives of the western
and southwestern railroads. The whole
question was canvassed , but no conclusion
has been reached. The packers insist that
the rates on packing house products should
bo no lower than those on live hogs , claim
ing that the difference now existing
between those rutcs Is a discrimi
nation against Chicago. This view
of the matter is naturally combatiad by the
packers at western points , who claim that
they will be driven out of business if such
concessions are made to their Chicago rivals.
A delegation of Iowa packers will arrive
hero to-morrow to present the.ir ease to the
railroads and after hearing both sides
of the controversy the roads will decide
what to do. The board of trada will defer
sending its petition to the intcr-stato com
mission until Wednesday , when the railroads
are expected to bo ready with their decision.
Opening of I ho Landtag-
UHHLIX , Jan. II. The landtag was opened

many might conlldcntly ctmrish the hope of

IILOCKKD. '
Chairman Dawes , of tl.o senate committee
on Indian nlTuirs , to-day introduced u substi
tute to the Glfford and Peel bills providing
for the opening of the Sioux Indian reserva
tion in Dakota and Nebraska. Tlie inovo
made by Mr. Dawos will undoubtedly block
all further progress towards legislation in
the Interest of throwing open tiio reserva
tion. Dawes says ho is acting in the interest
of the Indians , while the other bills arc in
the interest of the white peoplo. Tins is
proven to ho true by the titles of the
measures. The one introduced by GilTord is
entitled , "A bill to divide a portion of the
reservation of the Sioux nation of Indians in
Dakota , ami to secure the rellnquishment of
the Indian title to the remainder. " The
Dawes bill is entitled , "A bill to secure to
the several bands of Indians of the Sioux na
tion in Dakota , separate reservations und a
rclinnuishnmnl of the remainder to the
Indians , and for other purposes. " The
Dawes bill changes the boundaries proposed
in the Gifford bill , from liattle Creek to
Hnpid Creek , which is a radical difference at
the outset. In Section 10 , after erasing the
Gifford proviso Unit "upon the passage and
approval of this act all title and interest , on
the part of the Indians shall be released and
extinguished , " Dawes inserts that "upon
the acceptance of this net by the Indians ,
etc. " Ho places the price of the lands at
ft an acre throughout , instead of Sl.'J.1) for a
period of years and then SO cents un aero for
the land taken after that time. The Dawes
bill requires the consent ot a majority of
each band of Indians , instead of a majority
of the Indians as u body. The Gifford bill
appropriates $2. " > , < XX ) with which to procure
their consent , whereas Mr. Dawes proposes
to uppropoiate only § 18,000.
PADDOCK'S I.AXD OFFIOK niLk.
A substitute to Senator Paddock's bill es
tablishing two additional land olllces in Ne
braska was reported to the senate to-day
from the committee on public lands. The
substitute differs from the original bill by u
change of boundary lines madu upon the sug
gestion of the commissioner of the general
land ollice. In the new , or substitute bill ,
the northern boundary of the Uroken How
district is about eight townships south of the
north boundary of the state , und the north
of the Alliance district is ono township
farther north. Hoth Districts have an average -
ago ot about eight townships in width and
an average of about twenty townships in
length dividing on the 5th guide meridian
west , which is the western boundary of
Uroken How district n\u\ \ \ the eastern bound
ary of the Alliance district. Thu southern
boundaries ot both districts are irregular.
The eastern boundary of the Uroken How
district Is on thocl guide merid
ian as far north as the 5th
standard parallel , on wieh it runs
west four townships and thence north to the
north boundary. Two tiers of. townships
commencing on the west line of township 27
and running to the west boundary on the
north side of the -Ith standard parallel nro
left in the North Plutto district. Two tiers
of townships from the nth guide meridian
west to the east line of township 4G nro taken
into the Alliance district. From the east
line of township 40 the fith standard parallel !
is the south boundary of thn Alliance dis
trict. In his letter on the subject , Commis
sioner Stockslagcr says : "While It is be
lieved that the establishment of two addi
tional districts would , to some extent servo
the convenience of settlers , yet the limits of
the district as indicated in the ( original )
bill are not such as I can
consistently recommend. They change
the existing boundaries of six of
the land districts In Nebraska as at
present established , and the segregation of
Lho records will involve much additional
work upon this ofllce , which will be dllHcnlt
to perform with the current business , The
now land olllces at Sidney nnd Chadron
were opnned for public business last your ,
ind at that time entire now sets of tract
liooks were prepared for those otlices , nnd
in the event of the enactment of tha pro
posed measure now records will again have
: o bo prepared , I atn advised that a line of
railroad lias been carried through the coun
try included In these diBtricts , and the same
will doubtless prove n great convenience to
settlers who may bo required to
visit the local ofilces although
nest of their business may
io noiiQ us well ami with ns little inconveni
ence at the existing otlices. 1 have given
the matter careful consideration and if the
imposed bill is insisted upun I Hiigge.st , in

Several Hundred Visitor * Call lo Pay
Tlu'ir Hi-spcots.
INDIAN WILH , Jan. 14.-There was a con
stant stream of visitors at General Harri
son's residence to-day , and In consequence
this was ono of his busiest days. Out of
several hundred visitors very few had any
immediate business with the presidout-elcct.
They merely came to pay their respects.
tVinong the callora this afternoon were llf-
teen members of the Indiana electoral col
lege , who paid their respects , and a deputa
tion from the National Service
Pension association , of which Gen
eral Ilovey is president , headed by
Captain John Hounrty Losier. John F.
Plnmmer , the Now S'orlc merchant , who
arrived yesterday , spent a couple of hours
with General Harrison last night , and this
morning held another conference , accom
panied by Arthur E. Hatoman , a Now York
banker of considerable political inlliienco. II
is understood that both of these gentlemen
are friendly to thu interests of Warner
Miller.
Mr. Plummcr admits that ho was sent for
by General Harrison. In reply us to how
much political significance attached to his
visit , Mr. Plummcr answered : "Well , as
to how significant it is , General
Harrison can tell bettor than I can. It may
seem strange to you , but I really do not
know what my visit docs menu , as General
Harrison has said nothing to mo Indicating
any Intention he iii'iy have. "
Another party of Now York politicians ar
rived in a special car this morning , it is un
derstood ! la the interest of Phut , which
seems lo indicate that the whole trouble be
tween the Plntt-Mlller factions is to
bo fought over in General Harrison's
presence. Their visit was largely of a social
character , but Editor Sleichcr intimated that
there was some politics In It , leaving but
little doubt that they spoke for Platt. Hoth
the New York parties left the city this even-
Ing.The
The west also had a strong delegation hero
to-day from Nebraska , Colorado , Kansas ,
Dakota and Wyoming. The prominentmcm-
l > ors of the party were Hon. G. L. Laws ,
secretary of state for Nebraska ; Hon. J. W.
Ovey , of Hays Centre , Neb. ; E , A. Harvey ,
of Orleans ; James W. Dolan , of Indiaiiolu ,
Neb. ; J. It. Hamilton , of Newton , Kan. ;
George W. Lumloy , of Dakota , nnd 13. D.
Miller , of Hanid City. They came to lay
ueforo the president-elect matters relating to
the alleged homestead irregularities which
they , and the pconlo represented by them ,
.InnU that he should bo acquainted with.
They urged him lo select a broad mun for
.ho interior department who would treat the
settlers living on homesteads with humanity
and encourage them to prove up and secure
titles to their holdings instead of impeding
their efforts in this direction by technicali
ties , Secretary of State Laws says that many
homesteaders find it almost impossible to
secure titles ; that the land department is
from three to seven years behind in issuing
patents. As an example , ho cites the condi
tion of affairs In the McCook , Nob. , land of-
Jlco , where 330 claims have been suspended
and the owners put to an expense of f-JOO ,
which they could not afford , getting wit
nesses and going long distances to prove
their identity and positions. Out of 7-0
eases of filing of proofs in that
olllco only twelve have been cancelled.
There Is good reason to believe that the Ne
braska delegates suggested consideration of
Hon. J. M. Thurston's name as a suitable
head for thn interior department.

divine , was tliu guest of General and Mrs.
Harrison this evening by special Invitation.
