DEATH ON A STREET CAR.
AM BNGINB RUNS XT DOWN ON A
CROSSING AT CHICAGO.
Hour of Its PasseDgers Killed Outright
and Blast Injured—Some of the Let
ter Expected to Die—The Engine and
btreet Car Hands end Guards at the
Crossing Arrested.
Chicago, Deo. 29.—Four persons were
killed and twice that number were injured
this morning by the collision of a Pittsburg
and Fort Wayoe eDgine with a heavily
loaded street oar at the junction of Forty
seventh street and Stewart avenue at 0:30
o’clock. The engineer of the tr&iu and two
watchmen at the crossing are under arrest
pending an investigation of the aocident.
The dead are: George Blaha of Fifth and
Loomis streets; two unknown men, found
under the tender of the engine: an unknown
woman, who died in a patrol wagon while
on the way to the Mercy hospital, supposed
from a card found in her pooket to be M.
Carson. All the eight injured suffered
broken limbs and severe internal Injuries.
Several of them are likely to die.
THE CRASH.
The accident happened when the street
car trafflo was at its heaviest and the cars
were crowded to the doorways. As the car
approached the Fort Wayne tracks an
engine came backing down at the rate of
about fifteen miles an hour. The occupants
of the engine cab did not eee the car ap
proaching the crossing, and on aocount of a
heavy coating of frost on the windows of
the car the passengers did not see the engine
bearing dovrn upon them. The engine
struck the car and dragged it a distance of
about 150 yards. At every foot of the dis
tance some injury was added to those in
flicted when the engine first struck the oar.
As fast as the injured could be assisted out
of the wreckage they were removed in
patrol wagons to the Mercy hospital. The
woman supposed to be M. Carson died on
the way, and her destination was changed
to the county morgue.
The following is the list of the killed and
injured:
John Blaha, Fiftieth and Loomis Btreets.
Archibald McAndrews, Forty-seventh and
Wood streets.
An unknown woman, supposed to be M.
Carson, address unknown.
An unknown man.
Helen Conway is badly hurt and can
hardly survive her injuries.
THE ARRESTS.
The fireman of the engine that did the
damage and Couduotor O’Connor and
Driver Stanley of the street car were also
arrested.
Engineer Grosscup, after his arrest, gave
all the information he ooold regarding the
aocident. As he neared the crossing he
heard the fireman cry “stop,” but he was
unable to do so within the short dlstanoe.
His engine, he thought, was running about
fifteen miles an hour when the accident oc
curred. John AUbright, one of the crossing
guards arrested, is tbe same watchman
whose carelessness at tbe same point several
months ago resulted in a similar aocident,
and the death of two persons and the in
jury of others.
THE BLAME LAID ON THE DRIVER.
The chief blame for the aooident seems
to lie upon Stanley, the driver of the car.
According to the statement of Conductor
O’Connor, tbe driver whipped up his borse3
and attempted to cross the track without
waiting for the signal. O’Connor asserts
positively that he gave no signal to the
driver, not having gone far enough ahead
of bis oar to feel satisfied that it was safe to
cross.

SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1892.
HILL TO PLAY CONKLING. j
CLEVELAND’S ADMINISTRATION 1
TO SB BITTERLY FOUGHT.
The Senator Will Also Do His Utmost
to Secure the Election of Murphy as
His Colleague The Conkltng-Gar
fleld Episode Recalled by Old Politi
cian a.
W ABHINQTON, Dec. 29.—The senators and
representatives now i£ Washington, with
other publio men, read the newspapers
eagerly to-day because of their interest in
the New York senatorial situation and in
the interview between Speaker Crisp and
Mr. Cleveland. Most of the senators and
rspresentatives are generally iuollned to
believe that Mr. Cleveland meant no more
than he said in his interview on the sena
torial question, and will not necessarily do
anything more to preveut Mr. Mnrphy’s
election. But others expect that he will not
stop with simply saying be is opposed to
Mr. Murphy's election. Tbe sudden de
parture of Bourko Cockran, who would
like to succeed Frank Hiscock,
for New York to-day is conneoted
by them with Mr. Cleveland’s Intentions.
If Mr. Cleveland should say that Mr. Cock
ran ought to be eleoted there is a general
belief that Mr. Murphy might he defeated
by him, inasmuch as like Mr. Whitney,
who is also mentioned in this connection, he
is a man who would be agreea le both to
Mr. Cleveland and the friends of Mr. Mur
phy, except Senator Hill, who is expected
to fight for Mr. Murphy to the end.
HILL TO EIGHT CLEVELAND.
If Mr. Murphy is elected the two New
York senators are expected to be in opposi
tion to the administration during the next
four years, especially as to nominations to
offloe. It Is not expected that the New
York senators would make speeches pub
licly against the admimsti ation policies, or
even vote against such measures as a tariff
bill, but that their opposition would he
manifested in Executive session is expected.
The possible situation reminds men wuo
have a liking for historical analogies of the
relations between President Garfield ami
Senators Conkling and Platt. They over
look, of course, the great difference in
volved in the fact that President Garfield
w as under pledges to Senators Conkling and
Platt, whereas President Cleveland would
have no such obligations to Senators Hill
and Murphy. One of Senator Hill’s friends
said to-day, in speaking of this analogy:
“Mr. Hill will fight whether be has a Piatt
to follow him or not. He will fight whether
Mr. Murphy is elected or uot. The only
difference between him and Senator Couk
ling will be that he will not jump out of the
window iu the middle of the fight. That
was magnificent, but it was not war. Mr.
Hill will not be uingnifioent perhaps, but
be will be for war from this time on.”
CAN'T HURT CLEVELAND.
When this was mentioned to Representa
i tive John DeWitt Warner, of the Reform
Club, a friend of Mr. Cleveland, he said:
“You will remember, perhaps, what hap
pened to Roscoe Conkling. If you imagine
that these neople of New York were not in
sympathy with Mr. Conkling at that time
you are badly mlslakeu. Put when it
came to a question of choice between a
senator and a President of tbe United
Statee the people sided with the President
It was not the men whose opinions you and
I might naturally seek who settle
these questions. It is the people in the
highways and byways and of the cross
roads, and when their influence began to be
fell at Albany in tbe memorable oonteet be
tween President Garfield and Mr. Conkling
the question as to the oontinuanneof the lat
ter gentleman in office was quickly deoided.
It is with tbe masses that Mr. Cleveland has
bis stronghold, and should a ooncest occur
between the New York state maobine and
President-elect Cleveland It will be the ma
chine that will get hurt.”
A CONFERENCE AT ALBANY.
Albany, N. Y., Dec. 29.—Senator D. B.
Hill, Richard Croker, Lieut. Gov. Sheehan
and Edward Murphy held a three hours'
oonferenoeat the Ken more hotel this after
noon. It was striotly a secret one, and
when the gentlemen iearned that reporters
were cognizant of tbe meeting, the assem
blage adjourned but it is believed only to
meet later. The subject under disous
sion was Mr. Murphy’s chances for the sena
torshlp, and it Is reported that if it is fore
seen within tbe next few days that the
chairman's candidacy is too strongly op
posed, another man friendly to Senator Hill
and antagonistic to the l'resldent-elect will
will be selected for the United States sena
torshlp. This information oomes from a
reliable source.
murphy’s election expected.
New York, Deo. 29.—Mr. Cleveland had
a number of visitors at bis offices in the
Mills building this afternoon.
To-night Senator Gorman of Maryland.
ex-Becretary Whitney and Speaker Crisp
dined together and then went to the the
ater. It was the opinio jof all three that
Mr. Murphy would be elected United States
■enator from the state of New York.
CARLISLE GOES TO NEW YORK.
Ho Will Have a Consultation With
President-elect Cleveland.
Washington, I)ea 89.— Senator Carlisle
has gone to New York to see Mr. Cleveland.
He will then give his decision as to the treas
ury portfolio. There is tbe best authority
for tbe statement that he will tell Mr. Cleve
land that he will accept it, provided the
other men whom be will name can be
brought into tbe cabinet with him. As was
stated in these dispatches last night, Mr.
Carlisle wante JMr. Whitney .made Secre
tary of I.tato, and thiuks Mr. Whitney
should sacrifice himself just as Mr. Carlisle
would have to do if he goee into the treas
ury. Mr. Carlisle also wants his closest
J arsenal friends, Col. W. R. Morrison and
ohn Randolph Tucker, in the cabinet. Mr.
Carlisle’s departure for New York may have
been hastened by ex-Maror William R.
Grace, who arrived here this morniug, took
lunch with Mr. Carlisle, and aoonrcpanled
him to New York. Mr. Graoe, of oourse,
would not say what he had come for, hut it
is reported that he was the bearer of
a request from Mr. Cleveland that.
Mr. Carlisle would oorne at
once to consult with him. Doubtless Mr.
Cleveland, who rellee n Mr. Carlisle's
judgment, desires hlaadvloe ab ut the New
York seuatorsbip aud the organization of
the next House as well a* about the cabinet.
Mr. Grace called at Mr. Blaine’s, and said
afterward that he was better thau he bad
supposed—in fact, he was astoulshed to find
how much better he was.

PLANS OFTHE SENATE.
The Washburn Bill to Be Pushed.
thsrman’s Law Apt to Stand.
■Washington, Ded. 29.—Within a day cr
so after tbe reaeeembling of congress the
republican senators will hold a caucus to
determine upon tbe order of business that
Is to be pursued. It is tbe intention of the
Senate to begin active work end clear up
tbe calendar as much as pose! tile. There
are a number of important matters now
before it and some agreement n ill be reached
at this oauoue as to the precedence to be
given.
A PROMINENT SENATOR’S VIEWS.
A prominent eenalo.- said this morning
that he thought the debate on tbe anti
option bill bad been epun out to a sufficient
length and diet there as a feeling that tho
measure should be forced to a vote. He
has always favored the bill, and now antic
ipates that within a week after the Senate
convenes a vote will lie taken and that the
bill will puss. There is a very considerable
majority of the Senate in favor of legisla
tion that will correct the evil the Wash
bum hill is designed to remedy; buttle
majority is not so gnat in favor of the
particular measure re w under discussion.
Senator Mitchell, however, is very con
fident that the bill wih pass by a clear ma
jority uua that the debate will be ended
very shortly after the .Senate again gets to
work.
FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
Referring to the fl>anc:al measures that
had been introduced, and particularly thoso
which bad the repeal of tho Sherman law in
view, Mr. Mitchell said that he did not
think any serious attempt would bo made to
force those hills to a vote. In both bouses
he thought there was large majority against
the repeal of the aot which authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to purchase sli
ver. Ho was very positive that the majority
in the Senate against the repeal of the law
was sufficient tq withstand any assaults that
might be made on It. This congress, he
■ays, will do nothing m the matter of finan
cial legislation. *

GaFZA’S REVOLUTIONISTS.
A Hot Campaign Ahead on This Side
of the Rio Grande.
Washington, Deo. 29. The secret in
structions given to Capt. Bourke at the war
department tor Gen. Weaton, who is in
command in Texas, with which Capt.
Bourke is now hastening to San Antonio,
provide, it is believed, for summary aotlou
on the part of the United States army as
to tbe border revolutionists.
"Is it possible for the federal troops to
capture Garza and his baud'” was asked of
Capt. Bourke.
“It the war department would give us
the necessary authority we oould wipe out
tbs revolution in twenty-eight days,” was
tbe significant reply.
It is reported that the “necessary author
ity" referred to by Capt. Bourke has been
given by the war department and that some
interesting and even sensational news may
soon lie expected as a result from the Rio
Grande.
Beoretar.v Elkins is away, and no other
officer of tht war ..department dares talk
about it.
M’GLYNN HAS APOLOGIZED.
The Apology on Its Way to Rome, De

Washington, Deo. 29.—Dr. McGlynn is
not expected here by Mgr. Satolli with an
apology, as reported, for the very good rea
son that the apology is already on its way
to Rome, where it will be given out, oour
tesv demanding that the pope should see it
first. Regret is expressed by those who are
supposed to reflect the views of
Mgr. Satolli that Dr. McGlynn should
have spoken in public as he
did Sunday night before tiis apology had
been made public. Dr. MoQlynu will be al
lowed to choose his own work and his own
diocese. He will not be required to take a
parish. He is not expected to take one, and
certainly not in New York or Brooklyn,
A NEW MAIL BCHEDDLE.
Matter From the North to Reach Here

Washington , Deo. 29.—General Superin
tendent White, of the railway mail service,

ington at 10:57 o’olock a. m., over the At
lautio Coast Line, now running through to
Jacksonville, by way af Wilmington, N. C.,
will run over what is known as the Wil
son cut-off, by way of Fayetteville, N. C., to
Florence, 8. C. This change will reduce
the distanoe sixty-two miles, which, with
the quickened schedule, will put the north

sonville and all points on the southeast
ooast about three hours earlier than now.
BTOOK BROKERS FAIL.
Wayland Trask ti Cos. Ruined by a
Decline.
New York, Deo. 29.— Wayland Trask &
Cos., stock brokers, have failed. The firm
has no ooDtraot* on tbs stock exchange, and

age in Northern PaolQc securities and the
inability of its clients to rsspoud to tbe call
for more margins.
Tbe firm is c mpoaed of Wayland Trask,
Theodore Baldwin and A. N. Rankin.
Ur. Trask's attorney makes a statement
that tbe failure Is due to Mr. Baldwin's un
lucky speculations on bis own account with

AN EXPLOSION AT PARIS.
ANARCHISTS SHAKE CP TUB PRE
FECTURE OF POLICE.
Slight Damage Done the Building, but
None of Its Inmates Injured —An
Hour Earlier It Would Have Cost
Many Lives A Reign of Terror
Feared.
Paris, Dec. 29.—An explosion at 1:30
o'olock this morning in tbe ball leading to
the suite of offices between the ground
floor and the first story of the prefecture of
polioe has caused a sensation, but no
fatality, Windows were broken and wood
work damaged and a portion of the ceiling
knocked down. Investigation showed
that the affair wns undoubtedly the \vork
of anarohists who placed in
the entresol a bomb heavily charged with
chloral ; owder. Fragments of the oast
iron, which had formed the shell of the
bomb, were found scattered about the
place. These were fitted together us well as
well as oould be dono, aud showed that tho
bomb hail bee t of sufficient size to contain
two pounds of tbe explosive material. The
explosion was badly timed. Had it occurred
an hour earlier there is no doubt that many
persons would have been killed.
A REIGN OF TERROR FEARED.
The result of the investigation has caused
considerable excitement in official circles,
where it it behoved that the anarchists, tak
ing advantage of tbe confusion attendant
upon the revelations of the Panama scan
dal, have started to inaugurate a reign of
terror similar to that whioh prevailed
when Ravachol and his colleagues caused
the explosions here, when many of tho
wealthy residents of the city hastily paoked
their household effects and took refuge In
the country. The best doteotives In i’arls
have been detailed on tbe cate.
THE RAVACHOL AVENGERS.
The anarchist society, known us tbe V. D.
K., or “ Vengeurs de Ravachol,” has been
holding a great many meetings of late,
siuoe Francoif was brought from London,
and it is supposed that his case is ocoupying
their attention. An Italian auarobist pass
ing through Paris is reported as saying that
tbe anarchists would not attack private
houses, “since it is rnrely the victim aimed
at that is injured and innocent
victims ore the eonsequenoe. We will at
tack publio offices to destroy the records
and terrify the instruments of bourgeoisie
rule, ond the hanks to destroy capital, and
In that way we will it: ike a blow at tbe
bourgeoisie society of to-day from which it
will find it difficult to reoover.”
uubdk’s position.
Citizen Gusde, one of the militant chiefs
of extreme socialism, who took a leading
part in the recent meetings which resolved
upon an appeal to the army and a demon
stration at the Palais Bourbon, has taken
occasion to repudiate sympathy with the
bomb methods, while advocating what he
calls tbe social revolution.
There is at present not the slightest evi
dence that the explosion this morning was
caused by an anarchist bomb, although
some qf the anarchists would apparently
like to have it understood that such was
the oase. Francois is said to be as defiant
in the French prison as he was in London.
ERIN’S DYNAMMEB3.
The London Authorities Convinced of
the Existence of a Plot.
London, Dec. 29.— Tbe authorities ap
pear to be to strongly convinced that the
Dublin explosion by wbioh Detective Syn
nott lost bis life, was the work of a band of
conspirators that they have sent n detective
to Biarritz to keep guard over Mr. Glad
stone. Mr. Gladstone has not been made
awaio of tbe precaution, ns it is known
that he would resent any protection
of tbe kind should be be aware
of it. Home Secretary Asquith it
also protected, when be goes out in public,
by a detective in civilian attire, who

London. Dec. 29.—The latest advices
from St. Petersburg and other parts of
Russia sh i* that the persecution of the
Jews and the inhumanity of the czar’s
officials toward that unhappy raoe are
greater that ever before. Six edicts have
been Issued aiming to disperse
the Jewish subjects of Russia,
weaken their position at the
trading centers, and crush out tbeir re
ligion. Theee edicts are enforced with tbe
utmost rigor in many pans of the empire,
and with severity everywhere. Mosoow
pullers boast that sinoe the beginning of
18U1J 20,G0G Jews have been converted to
orthodoxy. The unhappy converts, who
have been driven to pretended
denial of their religious faith, in
order to escape intolerable prosecution, have
been deported to the district of Tcherke
sovo, about five miles from Mosoow. There
they ure rigorously governed by prietta of
the Russian orthodox church, who require
them to attend the services of that churoh

near Warsaw, which has rapidly risen to a
population of 120,000, most of them Jews.
Under the impulse of Jewish skill and in
dustry Lodz Is fast becoming an important

Germany, and who frequently oolleot more

Would Be Quickly Punished.
Rome, Deo. 29.—Tbe Moniteur, the organ
of tbe Vatican . says that recent reports in
regard to tho mission of Mgr. Satolli to the

United States in regard to tbe differ
ences of opinion existing there are
attracting more attention among
Roman eocloslastloa than almost
any other foreign topic. Some of tbe ad

insubordination toward the papal authority

deolsive action, it Is rumored, will be taken
to enforce oompleto and unequivocal obe
diei.oe to tbe will of tbe supreme pontiff, no

tifical action.
The pope has under consideration the
question whether Mgr. Hatolll shall or shell

President Cleveland. All reports to tbe
contrary notwithstanding, Mgr. Batolii, or
his successor, Is to aot as papal nuncio at

6 alia.
New York, Deo. 29.—Tbe Timet says
that Secretary of the Treasury l uster’s
trip to this city was uot on private bust
uest, as was given out officially, but was for
tha purpose of consulting Wall Street mag
nates on a proposition to relieve the money
market and oheak the export of gold by
having the government issue from $20,000,-
000 to *100,000,000 of bonds. Wall street
men were in favor of such a scheme, and
tha speculative contingent were in high
feather.
HARRISON VETOED THE SCHEMR.
The President’s co-operation had bean
counted upon at sure, hut this oonfldenoe
was suddenly discovered to be delusive,
The President not only refused to approve
the deal, but be went further and expressed
himself with unusual force and de
clared that he oould see no ex
ouse for issuing the bonds, and, what
was more, be did not propose that any
should be issued while be was President.
Aooordiug to Wall street reports, Secretary
Foster before he suddenly left town to go
west, is credited with having received •
dispatch from Washington couohed in pretty
stiff language, and running substantially at
follows;
1 want no new bonds issued under my admin
istration. Take no steps. l)o nothing.

The Time says that Seoretary Foster
met the W all street men at a olub house on
Fifth oveuue and a prolonged oonferenca
was held. Some of the most notable men
in tlie street are said to have been present,
and an agreement was formed on the finan
cial policy of the government. The notion
of President Harrison upset the plans en
tirely, and there is now no prospect of an
issue of bonds to stop the stringeuoy In tha

Magistrate May Never Tako Office.
Memphis, Tenn. , Deo. 29.—News of a
most reliable nature comes from Winches
ter, the home of Gov.-elect Turney, that
the venerable chief justice is nearing his
end from a complication of diseases. He
has been sick a long time and is reported
gradually sinking, and, in the opinion of
those informed, he will not live to be in
augurated , and preparing a message for tbe
legislature, that meets Jan. 2, is out of tha
question. In tbe event rf his death, tbe
speaker of tbe Senate would be acting gov

Committee Resign.
Chicago, Deo. 29.— The ladle* on tbe

congress auxiliary have rodgned in a body.
Tbe reason given is that tbe programme for
tbe labor congress, over whioh they and
o unmltteea of laboring men had worked for
the belt part of the year, was ignored by C.
C. Bouncy, president of the auxiliary com
mittee. Ttiov claim that after their pro
gramme bad been submitted no notioe

to them a programme arranged under his
direction. When that was received tbe

working for nothing aud resigned at onoe.
Mrs. Htevens, who is connected with the
Knights of Labor, said that Mr. Bonuey’s

days was preposterous. The religious oon
gresa is given a month, while important
economic subjects are crowded into a frao
tion of a week. To this tbe women would
not oonsent.
