Chicago Aug. 26.—The Evening

“The east bound vestibule train on
the Chicago Santa Fe and California
railroad from Kansas City was thrown
off’ the track near that place this
morning. Four coaches overturned
and fully fifty passengers were in
jured but as far as known none were
killed.”
Wiped Out of Existence.
Rockford 111. August 26.—The
entire plant of the Union Furniture
company was wiped out of existence
last right by the most disastrous fire
that ever occurred in this vicinity.
The company will lose over $lOOOOO
on which there is only $40000 insur-
ance. The company was conducted
by Swedish Americans and all the
stock holders were employed in the
works.
Tne London Strikers.
London August 26.—The strike
which; was begun by dock laborersand
which subsequently spread to the car
menhas now extended to the Thames
iron workers and the gas stokers
threaten to join forces with the strik-
ers. There is also talk of compelling
the laborers in all the trades to quit
work and force matters to an issue at
o ice. The iron workers’ strike adds
7000 to the number of the unem-
ployed. The men are as yet quite or-
derly. Shipping business is com-
pletely paralyzed and mail steamers
are leaving without cargoes.
The Nagle Muddle.
San Francisco August 26.—Dis-
trict Attorney White of San Joaquin
was expected Lere last night. He
left Stockton so he may evade the de-
livery of the state attorney general’s
letter authorizing him to dismiss the
proceedings in the case against Jus-
tice Field. This letter is in tne Stock-
ton post office and Field’s counsel de-
clare that if White does not get it
they will have State’s Attorney John-
son get the case out of his hands.
White’s friends say this cannot oe
done and that White is justified in
his course by the grave charges of
conspiracy that Field brought against
him in his legal travels last week.
Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry is out in a
bitter letter denouncing Attorney
General Johnson for his interference.
It is said Judge Sawyer has grave
doubts as to the power of the federal
courts to interfere in Nagle’s case
and that the deputy marshal will
return to Stockton and stand trial
in the state courts. Some of bis
friends assert that Terry’s partisans
will shoot him if he is returned to
Stockton but no one believes this.
The sentiment has turned somewhat
against Field because of his attack
on Sarah Althea and his evident de-
sire to use federal power to protect
Nagle.
HeOughttobe Punished.
Mrs. Mary Allpright is the name of
the poor woman who in giv-
ing birth to twin Infants a few days

er Maloney and Mr. Wm. Menger
took the children and placed them in
the Catholic orphanage. Mrs. All-
prlght’s husband was an Irishman
who abandoned her very cruelly.

HIS CONDITION CRITICAL.
Ex-United States Treasurer.
Writing to a friend recently General
Francis E. Spinner said: “I shall
probably soon make my bow to the
denizens of this world and depart.”
Few public servants have been as be-
loved of the people as the man whose
odd signature characterized treasury
notes for fourteen long years; and not
a reader but will be saddened by the
news that the dear old man is suffer-
ing from a cancer on his face at Pablo
Beach Florida and is nearing his
end.
Francis E. Spinner was born at
Mohawk German Flats. New York
in January 1802. He was the sou of
a German clergyman. At an early
age he learned something of the con-
fectioner’s art at Albany and of har-
ness-making at Amsterdam and was
only twenty-two when he opened a
store at Herkimer. When about
twenty-seven be was appointed depu-
ty-sheriff of Herkimer county an
office he held six years. He was
elected sheriff in 1834. The same
year he was made major-general o.
the third division of artillery a pro-
motion due to his activity in
local military matters. In 1838 he
was appointed one of the commission-
ers for building the state lunatic
asylum at Utica. The next year he
became cashier ot the Mohawk Valley
Bank. He continued to be connected
with that institution part of the time
as its president tor twenty years. In
1845 he was appointed Auditor and
Deputy Naval Officer of the Port of
New York an office he held four
years. He was elected to congress in
1854 on the democratic ticket. At the
next election he was re-elected on the
republican ticket ami again in 1858.
His appointment as Treasurer of the
United States was made iu March
1861. He has held no public position
since his retirement from that office.

Episcopal Residence.

dence for the bishop of this diocese has
been for some time under considera-
tion. The West End company offered

in reasonable time and the proposi-
tion was on the eve of being accepted
when the Letts property adjoining
the cathedral was offered for $9000.
The proposition has been accepted
and the papers will be drawn.
