Tor several days past peculiar odors have been pervading the corridors of the state houso. Tlu-y have been duo to spontaneous combustion generated in the fuel vault con nected with the furnace room south of the capital. About ono hundred tons of coal slack wcro stored In this vault and n few days since it became apparent that spon taneous combustion had started a smoulder ing lire somewhere lu this great heap of fuel. Dense volume * of smoke and gas rolled out of the vault nnd passed through the sub terranean pipes into the state house until it bccamo necessary to disconnect the furnace. An effort was made to get at the hidden fire but to no avail , and a force of men was set to work yesterday to remove the coal from the vault. It must all bo wheeled first into another apartment and then lifted by means of a small elevator to the surface , where It will l > o aired nnd dried. The work of removal from the vault was no small task. The shovellers , owing to the licat and the stlfliug gnsw , could only remain In the vault a few moment's ' at a time , al though a largo section of the roof had been torn away to permit fresh air to enter and the foul nlr to escape. Some of tlio coal taken out w s at a red heat , nnd n stream of water from n hose was kept playing upon tbo mass as the workmen penetrated It. The iloor and walls of the vault mo of brick and stone , so that no serious dnmaco will ensno. It will probably take several days to remove the fuel nnd extinguish the lire. usn coMJiissio.N'uu'a iicront.

[ Special Toleernm lo 'UK Br.K. ] A letter received here today by lie City of Para and dated Panama , Jnn. 15 , hews conclusively thq extent of President inlnai-cdas' ' unpopularity In Chill. "Alarm- HIT rumors , " say * the letter , "havo been cur- ent here during the part few days. It Is aid that the revolution , begun oa Jan , 7 at 'alparulso , has taken greater proportions tinn ut first wai thought it could attain. The loslllvo causa of the revolt Imi not yet been earned , but It is well known that the recent lections have not Impressed the people of Mill ! with confidence In the promises of the existing government. This fooling , fol- owing .thu stagnation iu business , ho overcrowded condition of Suntl- go , the -bad markets and the loss f credit abroad , duo to past disturbances , las put the republic of Chill In a bad way. The government has put a strict censorship over all tclegrnpklo communications , nnd In cases of cipher messages the cede must bo hown. Owing to these restrictions no news las got hero. The future of the present chief magistrate of Chill is difllcult to pro- llct. It is easy to foresee a part. Ills un- lopulnrity among his fellow countrymen , d'to o his violation of the constitution and his icrsljtcnt opposition to the will of the people , las led to the present revolt. Previous to his ho was roundly hissed nnd ils presence caused u riot in Concopcion. Jpon arriving * at the plaza where hd municipal palnco Is situated , the cavalry md to chnrgo into the crowd in order to clear n passage for the president's carriage. As soon ns the president was seen by the crowd a deafening hissing began nnd wat kept up mtll ho had entered the building. Thntovcn- ng , as ho was leaving for n banquet held nt ho thcntrc , ho had to order the coachmen to laston in order to outdistance tbo crowd , who cursed and denounced him in the most abusive terms , A few moments before the > rcsldent left the banquet the cavalry ihurgod the mob and the infantry occcuplcd joth sides of thu street. The benches in the lubllc garden in front of the palace were all destroyed , nnd after sev eral chnrgcs the pcoplo dispersed. It was found that thirteen people had been wounded , one seriously nnd two or three killed. Kcxtdaytho president proceeded to carry Into effect the object of his visit to this city , which was to open ndry dock. It was a signal for another clash between the troops md the people , but , fortunately , nobody was lurt. At li , noon , a largo number of the younger element organized nn impromptu serenade of kettles and other tinware instru ments , accompanied by cat-calls and shouts. The troops were called out and dispersed the sercnaders. Fourteen young men were wounded , some seriously , nnd about the suinc number of policemen nnd soldiers. " A A' OIL ll'IMZ , ItVIXEJt. Peculiar Method ol * Urstrlcting Pro * duotlon I'rnctlucd In Indiana. CIIKST EIITOX , Ind. , Jan. 25. The oil well ocntcd on Frank "Wolf's.farm ' , cloven miles southwest of here , has been ruined by un- mown parties. Prank Quick , who has the contract for sinking the well , said today that the well had been "splkod" three nights igo and the fact had just boon discovered. The drillers struck a solid steel rod withlu six foot of the vein , which completely plugs .ho flow and rcsbts all efforts of the drill to clear it away. Oil was first discovered on the Wolf farm about six weeks ago , while sinking a well for water. "When UK ) feet down a vein of lubricating oil was found. The diamater of the hole was an inch and a half and the owner decided to enlarge it to four and a half inches. After drilling down to within a few feet of the vein some ono dropped n bur of steel six feet long Into tbo well , which destroys every drill that touches It. The well has been abandoned , but the owner intends sinking another , nnd says ho will guard it day and night until the work is completed. Ilnwill allow no strangora to como ncnr the derrick. The citizens of Chesterton liavo formed a stock company for the purpose of boring for oil or gas. CAXXOT ii'Axre A JUJIY TRIAL. An Important Doolwlon by the Illinois Supreme Court. 111. , Jnn. 25. An Impor tant decision has just been rendered by the supreme court ot this state in the case of George Morgan vs the people. Morgan was convicted at the May term , 18S8 , of the Jeffer son county circuit court en a charge of as sault with Intent to murder. The defendant waived n Jury , was tried by the court , found guilty and sentenced to lx years' imprison ment in the penitentiary. The case went to the supreme court ou a writ of error making the point that a person charged with felony cannot waive trial by jury. The decision fully sustains this claim , reverses the judg ment nnd remands the cause. The , court holds that the constitution provides that no one shall be deprived of his liberty oxcuptby a jury , and that a prisoner cannot waive tbo mode of trial when charged with a felony. The sheriff has brought Morgan back for retrial. Dreaded E.xponurn More Thnn Death. PITTBFIKLB , 111. , Jan. 25. It now trans- plres that W. A. Chamberlain , whoso death by shooting occurred last night , was a case ol suicide , caused by the discovery that ho had forged his uncle's name to a note , which he had used ns collateral security. Further in vestigation brings to light the fact that some $3,000 of forced paper is outstanding , some ol it as old as eight years , thus showing that his crookedness ran over a long period of time , ills plan was to borrow money , give his owi : note , and put up a forged note signed by his uncle or father-in-law as collateral security , Ho always rcuuwed or took up his papoi promptly , by which means ho escaped detec tion. It was through nn attempt to put up r second note on his uncle that led to bis dis covery , nnd within an hour of his being ac cuscd of the crime ho blow out his brain : with a shotgun.

The body of Frank IMwards , eight years old , Is supposed to bo In the sewer of'Patterson. The sewer be gins In the southeastern part or town , at the cdgo of a commons , through winch Dark brook runs. The crcat rains of Thursday , which swelled the Passalo river until It over flowed Its banksswelled Dark brook nlso Into a rivulet. It raged around the place where It enters the sewer , rose above its banks nnd Hooded tlio .streets beyond. Finally It undermined the earth atone ono side of the sewer opening and toron hole In the sewer four or five feet squnro. As the waters of the river were backing into the sewer nt the ether end , a milonnd n half below , the surplus waters of the brook could not escape fast enough , A small but violent whirlpool formed in the brook around the wall. On Thursday nfternoon four boys were playing about this whirlpool. They threw sticks as far up the btrcatn as they could nud then watched them sail down , whirl In the miniature maelstrom and disappear. The ground all around wns soft and yielding , and most of It covered with a thin snoot of wntor. Frank Kdwards Imit on a pair of overshoes. IIo went too far out in the shallow water , nnd when ho jumped back his overshoe- stuck in the mud. The water loosened It. and It floated off. It began to whirl around nnd nround. Frank got down ou his knees and reached out toward it to trv and get it back , 1'eto Brentmn , Nelson Ulelc nnd Dan Man- nlng , the three other boys , watched him. All at once ho fell face forward Into the whirl of water. Nelson and Dan reached for him , but hoVM gone In n few seconds , nnd tlio waters wcro whirling as before. As soon ns the city authorities were informed men were sent to watch for the body nt the other end of the sewer. T3ut the manholes , near the river , wuro full to the brim of back water , and they soon concluded that the body would bo stopped somewhere further up tlio sower. Yesterday the sewer was examined throughout to within three manholes of the river , but ns yet no trace of the body hut been found , It is supposed to be in the sewer in the backwater , where It will stay until the falling river allows it to float out. The boy's ' father Is n laborer and is very poor. His mother has been nearly out of her mind since she learned of his fate. JIIXISTEK 3IMXKR. IIo Considers Ills Action Proper In the I3nrriindln Affair. SAN FIIAXCISCO , Jan , 'J5. The ex-minister to Guatemala , S. B. Mlzner , arrived in this city from Maiutlan yesterday on the Pacific Mull steamer San Jose. Ho bad , ho said , written out a full account of the facts sur rounding the death of General Barrundla , but ns yet ho was not certain that it would not bo a breach of diplomatic ethics to make t public until ho had seen the authorities n Washington. Ho said ho thought that Blulno wns not the author . of the letter ho received from the state depart ment censuring his conduct in the matter , but that it had boon written by a subaltern and signed by the secretary of state without careful perusal. Prior to the death of Bar- rundU , Miznur had procured his safe conduct out of Guatemala. "It was impossible for mo to think of giving nil my personal atten tion to the Barrundia matter , " snld the ex- minister , "as the interests of the United States and the peace of flvo republics seemed to demand all tnv time and attention. Just nt this moment , on Au gust " 0 , a basis of pence was llnally agreed upon and I could sco that my labors were about to bo rewarded. The day before that Barrundia entered Guatemala on the Aca- pulco. In finally advising Captain Pitts to surrender the rebel I believe I acted in strict accordance with all precedents nnd with in ternational law. " The reports that Minor's life was indangcraftcrthokillingof tbo rebel general were characterized as utter false hoods , Mizner will remain iu the city for the present nnd then proceed tq Waslilncton and state his cato to the secretary. Mizner is not Over sanguine that the treaty botwcen tbo five republics will last long. Both Guate mala and Salvador are now buying arms and ammunition in Europoand in other ways pre paring for war that ho thinks will not belong long delayed. _ Plundered the NEW YOIIK , Jan. 23. Joseph Schwartz , tweuty-ttiroo years old , entered n small syna gogue In Elghtyocoud street on January C , and sat down in one ot the pows. His eyes " closed , his head dropped forward on his breast , and he bank on the velvet cushions as If in a sound sleep. The worshipers noticed him , but thought nothing of it.

Notwithstanding , the Infantry , artillery , cavalry , ambulances and transportation nc- comtnodntioiis wore early drnwn np In line to nwalb Inspection ana rovlow. The ox- trcmo right of the line was situated about ono nillo north of a deep ravluo In which latter General Brooke hail established his headquarters. North of this rnvltio extended tlio rest of the camp , a line of canvas , of Slblyvall and hospital tents as straight as could have boon run by nn engineer , ami nearly two miles In length. Tlicso two stretches of canvas , arranged hx apklrraUh line formed a camp nearly three miles In length , the longest scon by nn ofllcor on the ground since the close of the war. It had been decided to hold the review south o the ravine anil accordingly the regiments south of that natural dividing line early took up their positions on ttio main cround ami awaited the arrival of the commanding- general. At 9:30 : o'clock Oonoral Miles , mounted on an easy riding charger and attended by his staff , galloped to tlio grounds , where he was tnot by General Broolco and staff. They then galloped slowly In front of each command and then back again In the roar , during which rldo men , tents nnd'otiulpago were carefully Inspected. General MBrooko , however , re mained nt tbo right of the line while General Mlles and staff rode to au eminence facing tbo line and about a mllu from either end. As soon ns the latter had taken his position the whole command nppearod In motion. It had boon fronting the commander , but now gaps appeared in it through which the tents , the crook and the loot hills como Into vlow. The companies and troops were wheeling by column to the right and forming lu company front and then moving forward to close up thu openings which tlio movement bad tnnilo. When the several com mands had resolved themselves Into a , com pact body with platoons comprehending from thirty tosixty-llvofoot soldiers and mounted men , the order wi\3 given to march ana iu n short space of time , the Immense line , "horse foot and " under . , dragoons , was way. The column < -\yliboled to the loft , then marched to ward'the west for 200 yards and ngain wheeling to tlo ) loft struck a line which brought them within a dozen yards of tbo re viewing general. > At this tlmo thp right of the column was nearly a mlle away. The wind prevailed from the north ! It was with dlfllculty the notes of the band'roached ' the ears of the ro- vlower. Behind the band appeared a forest of small Doles which now and then glistened In thu uncertain light. As the column nearcu the reviewer , the poles resolved themselves Into muslcota rusting upon tbo shoulders of veterans whoso nmrohjng was most soldierly and imposing. On through the ( ertmp the column trod , Its precision utld milltary < bariug becoming more notieeabl&'as it rcucbed tlio-general's uyo. Tbo coramamler was dressed in a square cut rltlfnu jacket , dark blue corduroy pantaloons and pmtors , with regulation military hat and gold cord. He had been standing In the wind for half nn hour and the cutting breezes brought a ruddy glow to his features , which for some weeks liuvu shown the pallor of mental work and anxiety. Behind film stood Ills stafT , consisting of Capbiln Minis , Cap tain Baldwin , Captain Evors and Captain Leo. In front of the column rode General Brooke , clad iu a heavy coonskin cent with a cap of the same material. Ho was accom panied by his staff , consisting or Orderlies Koo amlTrultt , Major Ilenhum , Major Bacon and Captain Humphreys. General Uroolto ana staff took postions with General Miles. The hand of the First infantry halted in front of the reviewing stand and Immediate ly off the line of inarch , and discoursed mar tial airs while the column moved by. First in line came Lieutenant Taylor's Ognlalla scouts , ono hundred mounted young men who their commander has rendered roost serviceable during the war and whom ho has brought to n remarkable degree of proficiency In military tactics. Their platoon was excellently maintained and commanded tlio appreciation of the general. Next came General AVhoiton of the Second infantry , commanding the brigade of that arm of the service , and attended bv Adjutant Howcll , Liautonant Powell as quartermaster. Then followed the First infantry of Cali fornia under Colonel Shnftor , whoso regi mental staff comprised lieutenant Carrlng- ton as adjutant. There wore only four com panies In lino.tho others remaining to guard the agency. D company was commanded by Captain Dougherty and Lieutenant Wlnn ; E by Captalu O'Connnll ' and Lieutenant Klrkman ; G by Lieutenants Branch and Kloman , and H by Captain Armstrong.

COM NCHE , Tex. , Jan. 25 , Mrs. Annlo Frizzell was shot by her divorced husband today. The Prl/zells are from Gr.iubury , Tex. Some weeks ago Mrs , Annie Prlzzoll , with her mother and sister , came to Conmn- cho and put up in a teuton the railroad reser vation , just beyond the passenger station. They did nothing but sowing , and niado a fair living. Mrs. Annie Prizzell had secured a divorce from her husband before coming hero , Prizzell is tbo sou of a hard shell Baptist preacher , but has none of his father's ' good qualities. Ho utterly failed to support his wife. She had supported him in idleness for some time , but nt last secured the divorce and came to Comanche to gain her own living apart from Prizzell. She was quiet and industrious , and had an excellent name in Gruubiirv. Frizzell camn to Comnncho on tlio passenger last night. Karly this morning ho went to the tout where Mrs. Frizzell lived to have an interview with her. Just what passed bo- twccu them is not known , but Miu certainly refused to have any thing todo with him. Ho was heard to say , "If you won't live with mo , you shan't ' llvo at all , " and then began to shoot. The woman ran out of doors at the first shot , closely pur sued by tbo brute whoso immo sbo boars. At the second shot she fell on her knees and put up her hands begging for life. Again she struggled to nor feet and tried to escupu by running. Prizzull still pursued and con tinued tiring. Tno woman .was wild , mid ran at random , but the man had ro trouble , iu closely following her. lie had only four cartridges in an revolver , but each bullet pion'cd her through and through. Sbo fell about fifty feet from her own door. The Hhooting was witnessed by n number of men , but none were near enough to prevent the crime. Kind hands soon carried the poor woman to the tent , and a doctor was there in ten minutes. She never regained consciousness , living only a few minutes. Frl/zoll put his empty re volver in his pocket and quietly started for town. Ho was taken in cbargo by men who had witnessed the tragedy and was started to the Jail. Ile'wa.i cool enough at first , but before reaching the jail he was qulto excited , and was almost running. Ho said If ho had had QUO moro bullet ho would have killed himself. This Is the third killing in the town since October 1 , The lint case wai almost as causeless as tills : a jealouj husband In a fit of anger shot n boy whom ho falsely suspi- cloned of wronging him. Another ono was sand-bagged , but no trace of the murderer was found. Prizzell and the other man arc both In jail , and it Is feared that the people may take the law In their own hands to night. A Hey Murderer. MILAN , Tonn. , Jan. 85. The case of the state vs. Cosby , for the killing of Smith Jvlc- Cain in January of lost year , was called yes terday in the Henry county circuit. The killing occurred while both were Hunting. Co-sby claims that it was nn accident , his gun going oil whllo tie was loading it. Ho did not divulge tlio killing , however , until two days later , when tlio body was found. Ho oxplaips tills by saying tie was afraid to tell It. Both wore boys. The defendant was only fifteen years old when tno shooting oc curred. " Thuru Is in proof that thu defendant , while in jail , confessed that ho killed Mc Cain over a rabbit.

" Mo t of Mr. Wilson's correspondents of this class nro not ni UTSO an this Noljraiknn. but they ate ulleijniilly visionary In their ideas. A great many people in tlio cast have crude aud visionary opinions of the west nnd its inhabitants. Some members of the Now York chamber of commerce have always aided reforms which bcnolltcd tbo whole nation , oven thouuh they had to oppose Now Yorks peculators. Tho'uttompt of Ji y ( JSould to throttle the commerce of the trans-Missouri teirltory which sucks Omaha is an insult to the west , and proves that some caustic measure must bo used to convince the rail roads that the state shall not bomndo a party to their oppressive schemes. If the general government were to assume such arbitrary power us railroads do , it would bo just cause for revolt ; aud yet creatures of the law defy the newer of their creators , nnd without constitutional authority forgo values and nslc the general government to tolerate the perversion of tlio constitution to enforce , their unjust and treasonable claims. The railroads have received from the people empires of laud nnd mountains of wealth , in bonds and subsidies , they have broken their promises and turned the people's expectations into , billions for thu railroads. and visionary benefits for the people. The west wants railroad sugar without being adulterated with water. There Is so much water In It that It Is fast turning into vinegar. liilllons of dollars nmdo by railroad specu lators represent visionary values. What is to pay interest on , nnd cash , such values , if the inland commerce of the nation docs uotj And If the commerce of the nation pays In terest on. or cash , inflated values , then the farmers being the burden bearers , who pay for all , represent tbo serfs whoso land nnd products are mortgagees , without their con sent , to pay the values nmdo by a system of speculation which is nothing moro than a system of robbery , treason , and murder ; for any who die by privations caused by the cruelty of organized oppression are assassi nated. American liberty should guarantee the greatest good to the greatest number , and not as it now tends , the greatest gains to a pre ferred few , by enslaving the many to a power that by deliberation , under a system of "pains and penalties" crushes individuals or localities Unit "dare to bo free. " There is no authority in the constitution' to force the people to submit to oppression ; America is not the laud for the oppicssudund oppressor presser to llvo in peacjumior ono ling : an attempt to force such a condition will bo the school of a new republic. Wo love the union ; but 1 % hen the union is n misnomer for the preservation of territorial area for the enslavement of the people and commerce of the nation to n moneyed uristocracv , is not revolt justifiable ! It is unconstitutional to legalize the pay- mentof false values : unconstitutional force is anarchy's sco'pter and liberty's shroud. Continued oppression will recommend a republic - public whoso organic low will never allow tbo right of eminent domain only for internal improvements to TJO owned by the state or municipalities.

When the territorial area of the union was threat ened by secession the government Issued currency to aid in preserving the union. Now that the liberties of the muiiy nro threatened by the rapacity of tlio few , should not the govern men t consider the liberties of the masses as im portant as thn territorial area of the union , and construct railroads by Issuing stock floated in currency for thi people's bcnollt , which will bo redeemed by the earnings of the railroads , nnd then have only operating expenses to imy f I do not consider the plan vhlonnry.Vo In the west realize that the promises inndo by the railroads to us fur bonds nnd subsidies havoboun very visionary except for the stock gamblers of Now York , who are in chanietor Like vampire bats In India's hrako , Whoso pinions fnu the wounds they make , And soothinc thus tlio dreamer' pains They draw tbo life blood from his veins.
