Dr. Bouthwlok, of this city, another mombor of the commlwilon, wont to Albany to meet Mr, Matthew Utile, the thud member.

Be fore hU departure Dr. South wick was asked whnt the result of the commission's labors would be. He replied: "The weight of opinions C3e)rt'ned in the replies recolvod by the commission to the circular sent out to prominent luwyors, judges and others, asking their views on the subject, Is against hanging, and in favor of electricity. Tho report, therefore, will bo In fnvorof the adoption of some electrical apparatus for execution. That Is the end toward which I have beon working for six years." said the doctor, "und If the report of our commission does not culminate in the passage of a bill abolishing banging I shall begin, to think that I have been working in vain.

A Marvelous Escape From Death of Two Little (llrls. Niagara Falls, Jan.

M.Muddy Run creek passes under this town by means of a sewer a quarter of a mile long. During thaws In winter It is swollen into a small river, which runs with great rapidity, floats over the precipice near the Whlrl)ool Rapids' park, and falls into Niagara river. Tho creek was In this swollen and turbulent condition Saturday evening whon a handslolgh, in which was seated Bertha Farrell, 4 years and 10 months old, slid down the current, which was running rapidly. No sooner had Bertha got into the stream thun her sister Blanche, aged 10, jumped in after her and both were swept into the sewer. An alarm was raised nnd a rush mnde for tho mouth of the sewer to prevont IHj) little ones from going over the precipice.

Mo, secured by ropes, got into the water at tho outlet of tho sewer and waited for the children. Litllo Bertha came out flint. Nlm wok under tho water and caugjiundor a log. Soon ufier-wai camo IMancho, floating on top. Both children wt-ro from appearances lifeless; not even a breath or a beat of the heart was discernible, and it took long and patient work to bring them back to life.

Tho children passed underground fully a quarter of a mile and were in tho water ten minutes, most of the time submerged. BOLD HIGHWAYMEN Go Through an Kxpress and Mall Car In Teaas. FonT Worth, Jan. 24. Two masked men boarded tho engine of tbo oaxtbouud train on tho Texas ami Pacific railroad just as it pulled out from Gordon station Sunday morning.

Drawing revolvers on tho engineer and firemen, they ordered thorn to go on until a trestle two miles east of the station was reached. Here they compelled tho engineer to stop the train in such a way that the baggage, express and mail cars were on the road bed, while the passonger cars were on the trestle, and the pussengers could not leave them. Six masked men who hod been waiting at this point now boarded the train, and the eight robbers wont through the express car safe, getting all the money packages aud valuables, and through the mall bags, taking all the registered packages, twonty-olght In number. They than left the train and rode away, without molesting the passengers. The Paoiflo Express company refuse to say how much their loss Is, and the reports vary from 12,00 to 115,000.

The value of the registered mjDI Is, ot course, un known. Thus far no clitlxto the been obtainod. i robbers has Anna Elisabeth Ball Dead. Philadelphia, Jan. 24.

Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Ball, well known throughout the state for her connection with the "Underground railroad," died at her residence, No. 980 Auburn street, where she had resided for the past forty-six years. Mrs. Ball was born a slave in Lancaster county, and was owned by CoL Jeese Ball, ef Virginia, who moved into the state about 1T07.

He liberated all his slaves about 1813, when Mra Ball was quite young. She came to this city about K), and took an active inter! in the Underground railroad. She bad a record of sixty-three slaves whom she aided to freedom and used to beast that no slaves were ever captured or taken back who passed through her bands. Killed la a Railroad Wreck. Cakmi, Ilia, Jan.

81 The Louisville and Nashville passenger train was wrecked a short distance from this city. The fireman, Robert Gray, and the engineer, name unknown, were instantly killed. Tbe train was running at a high rate of speed at the place indicated, when one of the driving wheels of tbe engine broke. The engine was ditched with the fatal result, aud the express and baggage cars were completely wrecked. The express memenger and baggage master, however, escaped with slight injuries.

The smoking car was turned over on its side, but the passengers sustained only a few bruines. The inmates of the car were rudely shaken up, but none were injured. A CUTgjnian in JhII. Erik, Jan. 24.

The rolltloal Parties Getting Heady for Action. Boston, Jan. 24. K. A.

Porry's cable from London to the Herald The usual meeting of tlie Irish Parliamentary party, in preparation for tho work of tbe session, will be held in London Instead of Dublin early this week. As the legislative plans of the government are still indistinct, and Mr. Gladstone, Mr, Chamberlain and Lord Randolph Churchill have to dellne their respective positions, the programme of tho Irish members will, of necessity, be largely an expectant one There was something of a dispute as to whether Mr. Thomas Dixon, who may be regarded as tho loader of tho Gladstone Llliorals in Ireland, or Mr, Timothy Mealy as a Nationalist, puie and simple, will be the Parnoll candidate for the South Donegal seat, vacated by the doath of Mr. Bernard Kelly.

The constituency is strongly Nationalist, and the party nomination is equivalent to an eloctlon. It is argued by tbe Home Rule Liberals that Mr. Dixon should have the seat, partly as a resignation of Mr, Gladstone's claims upon tho FainolllUis, partly becauso his presence In the house would have a beneficial influence upon Mr. Lea, of South Londonderry, and Mr, Russell, of South Tyrone, the two Irish members of the Unionist Liberal party, The mat ter has finally been settled by tbe selection of a third candidate, Mr. Swift McNeill, a Protestant Nationalist, whose election by a Roman Catholic constituency will, It.

is thought, have a favorable effect in Ulster. Mr. Healy, however, will not be loft out of parliament, as ha Is to succeed Mr. Justin McCarthy In the northern division of Longford. A curious story Is enrront that Lady Colin Campbell, who, by the way, has resumed her charitable labor at tho West End, sent a Now Years' cardVith appropriate mottoes to evory juror who sat in her case, THE COAL STRIKt.

A Humor of a General Strike Cannot be Verlded. Nkw Jbrhrt, Jan. 84. It was reported as long ago as Friday, but apparently without much foundation, that James Qulnn, the master workman of District assembly 40, had telegraphod from Philadelphia with reference to the coal strike, that on Monday ill the men in tho coal mines and on the coal wharves, and Knights of I-abor on the rail roads would suspend operations. Tho rumor could not bo traced to a responsible source then.

Yesterday, however, a conservative Knight of Ibor said that something or other of that kind was going on, but ho could not tell exactly what. This resolution, presented by tho Interna tional Boat inon's union was adooUid by tho Control Labor union, yesterday: ihat tho necessity of tho situation, with the scarcity of coal, demands that somo action should bo taken to protect families of the poor. Iherofore, bo it Resolved, Unit all retail deulers are re quested to keep tho stock now on baud for family use aud sell no coal to steam users until the strike is over. This Includes alt coal sold to stores, ofllces, and manufactories. SOCIALISTS HI3S THE QUEEN.

Canon Clurke Threatens to Immerse Mr. Ilnrna, London, Jan, 84. Two thousand utiem ployod Socialists attended church fiorvlccs at Battorsea, Chnmbcrwell, Paddington, and other parishes. At oneli placo hoy were attended by a strong escort of police In Battorsea church Canon Clarko preached and defended himself against attacks hmdo upon him by t'e After the services, during which the Social ists preserved the utmost, good order, Burns, the Hocialist Irador, made a speech to his fellow (Socialists outside tho church, taking occasion to ilmiouoco Canon Clarke in most violent terms und brand him as a liar. Canon Clarke interrupted tho Bpcakor and threatened to immerse hiin In a horse trough which stood near.

Tho clergyman then left Uie scene amid the jeers and hoots of the crowd. The queen and the royal family were roundly biased by another contingent of Socialists who attedued 8t. Luke's church, Choisea, but beyond this interruption to tho sorvlces tho conduct of tho followers of Hyndman and Burns was quite orderly. At the doorway of tho CanilwrwoU church a Socialist beggar stood with a box, but his ppeal for alms met with a poor response. Inoeudlarlsm In Clilcng-o.

Chicago, Jan. 21 Patrolman Fitzgerald saw a bright light in Frederick A. llagalon's saloon In the basement of tho Allen house, a small European hotel at Peck court and State street early yesterday morning, and an Investigation showed that the interior was in a blaze. Ho summoned the dromon, and then aroused the forty guests in the Soto I before there was time for a panic. The flames were confined to the saloon, which cost Ragalen a few months ago $1,200 and on which there was an insurance of $1,600.

The fire was evidently the work of an incendiary. Petroleum had been sprinkled liber ally around the saloon, and evory gaspipo was open. Ragalen is in Michigan, and his wife and son have been running the saloon. They gavs ths police no clue to the Are. Gaorla'e Total Crop.

Macon, Jan. 24. The total crop yield for 1880 Id Georgia Is thus given by Commissioner Henderson: Cotton, 840,000 bales of 4W pounds; corn, 20,000,000 bushels; wboat (half a crop), 1,900,000 bushels; oats, 4,700,000 bushels. The average cash price paid for bacon In the state during the year was 8 cents per pound, while the average price on time, payabls Nov. 1, was 11 cent The average cash price for corn was 08 cents, and the time price 9.1 cents.

The farmer purchasing supplies on time pays In this way about 43 per cent, on bacon and 84 per cent, on corn for about four months' time, which Is equivalent to rates of interest of 128 and 104 per cent, por annum. Kilt by a Moonshiner. Atlanta, Jan. "4. T.

Hear on Tap for One Day-Making Teal Caw. Dxs Moines, Jan. 81 -Ft the tY time In over a year and a half the bi ie of Des Moluee opened their place of biwluta Baturdsy for the public salo of hear by the glass. Since tbe prohibitory 1-iw went lulo effect, July 4, 18HA, they have ond under A permit from the county board of supervisors, but sold nothing In quuutitlusof Im thiui a quart, strictly fur aiibor culinary, sacramental, hirsllolnul nr median en! par-poses, and under no olrcumstances to be drank on the premise These penults ex pired on Jan. 1, aud tbe isnibsrs ef the board, getting lute a wrangle aa to Who should be granted permit, rejected all applications.

Since then the breweries and wholesale dealers have apparently dona no business. Heretofore the chief reliance of beer drinkers has been the Milwaukee bottled article sold by druggists, but when the announcement was mods that foaming lagur fresh from the keg was on tap at the brewerios thsra was a grand rush. All day long the thirsty crowd urged around the bars and tbe business of the breweries was only limited to their oapaclty to supply. "We intend te sell for the purpose of perfecting a test esse to be taken before the federal oonrt," said one ef brewers interested. "Judge Brewer has virtually decided that the state has no power te close op our places of business and confiscate our property without compensation.

We propose to raise that same question im tbe United States district court in Iowa, end get a decision one way or the other." The brewers had not long to wall 1a formation was filod against them by Pearson, president of the County Temper ance Alliance, and armed with a warrant Constable Pieroe descended upon the alleged violators of law, and seized their stock. The points involved will be adjudicated by the oour-, but the open sale ot beer by the glass has temportarlly stopped. FLORIDA CIGARMAKER3 Cause Serlona Trouble Detweea Kol.hts and Cnban FederatloS. Taupa, Jan. 21 For fully two month trouble has been growing out ot the tact that a cigar firm of New York, Ybor City an Havana has refused to employ Cuban elgar-makers.

Tho factory turns out about OOO.OM cigars and oigarottes a week, and gives work to over 1,000 hands. The Cohans have a fedoratlon, or trade union, and the Amsrleaas are all members of ths Knights ot Labor. It Is between these two bodied that the bad blood has been engendered, principally try he refusal of the superintendent of the fae ry to listen toanyef the proposals for Ar bitration proposed by the Cuban federation. Friday a meeting ot the Knights was held In thoir ball, tho exact objeot of which wee not made public, but it was known that tbe objectionable foreman was present. This infuriated tbo Cubans, and they opened fir on the hall with rlflos, killing M.

F. Martin and fatally wounding four other Knight. Th greatest excitement prevailed lu the town, aud horses were galloped te Tampa tot surgical and aid. The steamer Margaret was closely watched until her departure for connection with the steamer Mascott for Havana te prevent the leaving ot the suspected assassins. The military were pressed Into service and ore doing duty at Ybor City.

Clrcnlar offering $7 a week and support to union mea who will strike are posted over the city. Three of tho suspected Cubans were placed under arrest in Tampa. Threats of lynshtng have been freely made, and unless Speedy set Moment is arrived at, trouble must ensue. Shots are frequently exchanged between the Knights and the Cubans, and this men are reported dangerously wounded, but only the most meagre details are obtainablo at Ybor City, which has nothing brrt the- company's private telegraph Hue. It is reported that tho suspected Cubans have been hanged by a inob, Their union is over 1,000 strong, And ths most serious results are now certain.

Washington, Jan, 24. It Is Terr probable that congress will crowd through business during this week which would, uudor ordinary circumstances, occupy a whole month. Sspeclully is this rush to be the order lu the senate, which took up to-day, according to notice given on Friday by Mr, Edmunds, the report and the bill on the fisheries question. The former is the result of the investigation made by a special committee of the senate last autumn, and the latter Is the outgrowth of that work. The report occupies 290 ages, and the dobate would cover soveral days, aver it not that Mr.

Edmunds determined, if possible, to get a vote by Tuesday evening. Mr, Beck Is yet anxious to oemplete consideration of his bill prohibit ing congressmen from acting as attorneys for subsidized railroads, and will call that up If opportunity presents Itself. The bill establishing agricultural experimental stations is the unfinished business, however, and therefore has the right of way. The Sunday civil appropriation bill is eboet ready te be reported, and may take up without announcement at any Mass, The conference report on the KH-pelygamy bill ts dally anticipated, and will receive early attention when presented. fs senate will spend a good deal of time in Secret session considering the British extradition and Klearaguan canal treaties, nominations, etc.

In the bouse ef representatives a number measures will contend for the flqor. The river and harbor bill and the Hatch bill for the treatment of pleuro-pneumonla occupy eauel positions, and either may be taken up er crowded aside for something which the house may consider ef more importance. The contested eleetlon ef Page vs. Plrce, of Rhode Island, may also be a competitor for ennsldaration. On the calendar are the Dost- fllce, the consular and diplomatic and the District of Columbia bills, and these may be taken up as privileged subjeots at any time.

Thursday has been sot aside as a special order for the bill granting right of way to a street cable railway in this city, and it is believed that- this measure will hold Its place. A great deal of suppressed wrath is visible In certain quarters because of the action of the senate in ordering the doors te be kept slnsed for ten minutes after each secret ses sion, In order to give senators time to leave the Capitol before the public is admitted to the chamber. There are many persons who have business with senators nnd who are unable to eot to the Capitol, under ordinary cir cumKlaticcri, until lute in the dny. Under tho new rule tlioy will invariably find the members of tho upper house locked up. Heretofore tliotie visitors constituents, etc have tarried until the doors reopened, but now, under the new order of things, this would be a waste of time, as senators make haste to leave tho chamber during tho ton minutes (he doors romulii closed, and when they are reoi)eiied the veueruble dipt.

Bus- sett und bis assistant, Juntos Christy, art about the only persons visible. Senator Edmunds is credited with having proposed tho new arrangement. The Ver mont statesman's suggestions are generally adopted. It was but a duy or so ago that a newspaper correspondent stunding on tile second or main floor of the senate wing of the Capitol, waiting for the olovalor, wliiclijhad just gone up, to return in order to ride down, heard three sharp, quick rings of the call bell. Besides the correspondent, there wore several distinguished persons also waiting to use the elevator.

Notwithstanding the fact that they had severally given the signal to stop at the second floor, tho conductor of the elevator ran by them in great haste, nnd in a second or two the seoret was out. The ele vator returned with a sole occupant Sen ator Edmuudi who, without looking north or south, walked very deliberately to the oaamber and took his seat. "Why did you not answer our signal and taks us down with you before asked one of thepartyrx "The signal given from below has prefer ence here, 7 was the only response. The cor rsspondenlt made a mental note of the cir- nmstanoe, and ever since, when he he is In hurry, rings three times quickly and up er down, as the case may be, shoots the ele vator, no matter who, or how many persons may be standing on the intermediate floors, and it is whispered that the Vermont senator himself was recently left behind by the cor respondents making use of the private signal, The most amusing part of the whole affair is too see the disappointed expression of the eenduetor, alter responding to the private signal, when he discovers that the senator is not waiting for him. The Post, In a story about changes senatorial, says: "Soldiers are getting rather scarce fa the senate at least Federal soldiers are, for there are plenty of esc-Confederatee, In the senate, ae It stands, seventy-six number, there are ely seven men who fought on the Union side during the war, but sixteen whose uamee are en the muster roll of the Confederacy, Of the ex-Federals It Is probable that only three will be left when the senate is called to order at the commencement of the next i sioa.

Warner Miller, who la the only private who ever sat in the senate, and Van Wyek have already been beaten, Harrison and Seweu are doubtful, and Hawley Is the only one ea the list who comes back. He, with Manderson and Plumb, will have to answer to all the toasts to the Federal soldiers in the United States senate. Of the fifteen Republican senators who will be sworn in on the 4th ef March next, four wore the Confederate eray. This will leave the senate wltn twenty ex-Confederates and only three ex-Federals.

Ho felt sure he had the good wishes of all present whon now about to return to Ireland to work out the political aud social freedom of Ireland. After referring to an article written by Mr. Labnuchere, in whioh he denounced the English government for its Inhuman treatment of poor tenant farmers In many parts of Ireland, he said no jn'ople on the face of the earth had shown moro patience for law and order under trying circumstance than tho people of Ireland.

((Vies of "Hurrah for Gladstone, tho grand old After reviewing the history of tho origin of tho Irish land troubles, the speaker said millions of dollars had been sent from this country to gladden tho unjjins of poor Irish pennants, but in most cases the money had found it.s way into tho pockets of Irish landlords. (Groans.) Tho farmers of Ireland were weighed down with taxes amounting to $70,000,000 yoar, and even with the assistance obtained from America' it was now almost impossible for tho farmers to pay rack rents to Irish landlords. If the oppressions continue much longer, said Mr. Davltt, although numerically wcuk, we will show tho British government that we como from a race that knows how to die for lilierty, and no opposition on tho part of the government or landlords can long obstruct the succeesfiil march of the Irish cause.

After speaking of the good fooling generally existing between the workiugmen of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, who, he said, would stand by the side of Gladstone in closing his great career by trying to restore to Ii-olaud tlio power and freedom that had beon stolon from her, Mr, Davitt concluded by saying that ho could not pass over in silence the course of bis friend Father McGlynn. He thought that if Dr. MoGlynn bad been defending England or opposing the Land League In 1H82, instead of advocating the cause of the Irish people, he would not have been warned 'from Rome to stop, and might have been archbishop of New York to-day. For the interference of the church at that tlmo Mr. Davltt blamed Cardinal Bimenni: Ho thought Dr.

McGlynu should go to Rome, and rely upon fair treatment from the pope. He eulogized the priest, and doclarod that he deserved the sympathy of every lover of freedom. Henry George was present ut the meeting. CRUSHED BY THE ICE. A Gorge In the Maumeo Klver That Threatens Trouble.

Toledo, Jan. 21 The ice in the Maumee river, opposite Toledo, let go shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and wont crashing down the river. The Cherry street bridge withstood the pressure. The Union railroad bridge was not so fortunate, aud 2M feet of the east end were carried awny aud ground into splinters. The ice abreast of Toledo was very soft, but that in the tipper river was from twelve to eighteen inches thick.

It has withstood the thaw well and passed here with a thick-new of eight or ten inches. The ice has now piled up against the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge, and there is Imminent danger that about 400 feet of that structure will be wrecked. The rivor below the city is shallow, and much of the ice that passed down is imbedded in Uie mud, forming a gorge, and at 9 o'clock lust evening tho water in the river had risen three font in consequence. A dispatch from Turkey Foot Rock, fifteen mils ntKve, says that ice is piled up in the river twenty-five feet high, and tho wutvr it overflow ing the banks and doing much damage.

CnioAQO, Jan. 34. Mra T. J. Townslsy, tbe Chicago lady who was in the stage coach that toppled "Independence Pass, In Colorado, last mouth, has Just arrived in this city.

Mrs. Townsloy saysi "At daybreak on Dec. 10 I was awakened at my hotel in Leudvlllo and -informed that tho Asen stugo coach was watting for me. It was bitter cold, and was snowing so hard that ths driver bad to pilot me to the coach. I had on a heavy double fold dress, a sealr skin sacquo, a Buffalo robe pinned over my shoulders, my hood covered by a fur cap, aud my face enveloped in a shawl, allowing an aperture for my eyes.

Despite all these protections I was frightfully cold. The coach was drawn by six horses. We were pro. ceiled by the Granite coach, which was on runners. The road over Elk Mountain will admit of but a single coach passing.

At the apex of the mountain the Granite coach halted in a station blasted out of the rock and allowed us to go ahead. Hero the descent began. The road at this point runs at an incline of 45 degs. The driver put on his lock chain to the wheols, thus virtually converting them into runners. The vehicle, dosplte these precautious, aud by ita own weight went down at a frightful pace, We could barely keep our seats.

We balanced ourselves as best we could. Ruiftilng np from the truck and through the box of the ooooh was a perpendicular bar of steel called the king pin. I clung to this and managed to keep myself right side up. Down the narrow path, in ths side ot tho mountain, we wont with the horses In a mad gallop to keep the coach from running them down. We were rounding Independence Pass, when suddenly tbe driver callod: 'Jump, jump for your-' "He never finished the sentence.

He had been holding the coach as near the embankment as tbe narrow pass would permit. Ahead of him he saw a heavy bouldor topple and fall down the mountain side and into the path. This caused him to make ths cry of warning. Tho obstruction was but twenty yards ahead of him, and It was beyond human power to stay the Impetus the coaoh had gotten coming down the incline, --saw tho drlvor leap. Inside we all hold on to tin king pin.

Down we went, and in another instant the forward wheels struck tho rock. Tho hind port of the coach was thrown forward and outward, and th king pin snapped like a reed, The box, with all in it, wont over tho precipice on Its sldo, and through tbe window I fell out. Iss fortunate than myself, the conch and my illow tourists lodged in a crevice on tho sido of tho precl-pico somo UM feot below tho road. I was throwiLoiit with such force that I cleared this crag and kept on and down tho full 400 feet to the bod at tho canyon and into a bank of snow, cutting my way Into it, as It it was water, head first. Tho 'Granite coach just to the rear of us pulled into a notch In ths rocks, and the driver and some prospectors got out and began to ollmbdoivn to whore I had lodged.

Armed with shovsls, ihey began to dig me out, and it Is curious to relate that the only flush wound I received was from the binds of a shovel, which ploughed up a furrow In my anklo lion tboy reached me. I was finally dug out, unconscious, and to all appearances dead. Restoratives wore administered, and I was lekou up and carried to the toll house at tho head of the cliff. Hore my baud and limbs wero rubbod, and my fnco slapped until my cheeks wore raw. But all to no avail.

I was black in the face, and there was no audible or visible respiration. I was left in tho cin ot the toll keeper nnd the Graulto coach passengers, whllo tho two drivers Started for Aspen, thirteen miles distant, to summon surgical aid. One of tho party returned at midnight with a doctor. In tho mean time I had rev 1 veil, sustaining no other injuries than the cut inflicted by tho shovel." tINKERTONS VICTIM BURIED.
