Prof. Fowler, the great phrenologist, dead. He was sick only thirty hours. A Chlcugo girl named Kurdy eloped with nn eXHHinvlct imined Pitcher, and the parent of the girl are nearly detracted. The Mo.

Pacific shops will not be removed from Atchison to Kansas City, as reported. The total number of deud bodies taken from the wreck at ChaUworth as counted by Mr. Moses tilsh, of Pe oria, (a brother of the Cilsh boys of Sterling) Is 82, and It Is said the list will cover more, as many were re moved to their former homes and burled before a list was made up. Haitian, the oarsman, Is on his way to Australia. The coroner's Jury in the Chuts worth disaster returned a verdict which holds Timothy Cough 11 sec tion foreman, guilty, and negatively exonorutes the company.

Coughlln will be jailed at Pontlao, the county seat of Livingston county, as he is un able to give ball. The verdict is gen orally criticised by the public as un- ust. The Hay ward Rubber at Nor wich and Colchester, has failed with liabilities assets sup posed to be $750,000. Levi Rosenfield, of Chicago, died at his home in that city on the 17th. He left an estate valued at $3,000,000.

A charter has been filed by St. Louis capitalists for another big bridge ever the Mississippi at that place. The capital stock Is $1,000,000. Six hundred coal miners are out on a strike in Laurel county, Kentucky, They demanded an increase of one- half cent a bushel for mining. Two freight trains collided, In a fog, near Napervllle, 111., yesterday morn ing, making a fearful wreck.

One of the engineers was seriously Injured. Hundreds of hogs were slaughtered. A train on the Cleveland Pitts burg road jumped the track near Bay ard station yesterday morning, wreck ing ono sleeper. One passenger killed and three seriously wounded. The engineer's strike on the Mexi can Central still continues, about fifty of them being out.

Base ball at Emporia yesterday re sulted: Emporia 8, Wichita 0. At Denver Hastings 2, Denver 14. The jewelry firm of N. Matson Chicago, has failed for $140,000. Fixing the Blame.

Chicago Daily News. There have been different theories advanced as to where the blame should be fixed for the terrible Chatsworth railroad disaster, but the proof of Diame one direction aoes not necessarily exclude the responsibilities of ainerent parties, mere were, undoubtedly, fiends in human form who pillaged ana roooea tne aymg ana the dead. These inhuman monsters should be hunted down and punished to the full extent of the law. If Tim othy Coughlln, the section boss, knew tnat tne grass near tne Driage naa been fired only a few hours before the train passed, and did not make sure tnat tne nre was extinguisneu, men he and all associated with him in the responsibility should be held criminally guilty. But the guilt of all these parties does not relieve tne railroad company from responsiblity.

It is now almost certain that it was well known that the railroad itself and the bridge were not in a condition in which It would be safe to run over them a heavy train at full speed yet the doomed train of seventeen cars was not divided, as was suggested by an engineer. Two engines were attached to the train, and the train was running at the rate of thirty to forty-five miles an hour when the bridge was reached. If we make all the allowance possible, the fact remains that a desire to make a little more money, with as little expense as possible for watchmen and repairs, was cause enough for the accident, even though a band ot robbers naa airectiy started the fire. No punishment now of the guilty can ever call back from the graves the dear dead who were so pitilessly sacrificed but, for the sake of the living, there should be something more than temnorarv excite ment over this horror, which is a disgrace to this age of boasted scientific V. 4.
