The ti-year-old son of Martin Hardsoeg, of Ottumwa, the proprietor of the largest mining-drill factory in the world, suffered a frightful accident. hile passing one of the large steampropelled grind stones in his establishment, his hand was caught and ground to bloody shreds.
In hit attempt to release himself his other hand met the same fate, and he only escaped total annihilation by the heroism of an employe, who risked his life in throwing the belt.

ajjgfe Republican. VOL. VII There was a disastrous tire on the Wapsie bottoms, west of Silver Creek. It is supposed that some hunters accidentally set fire to the dry grass. The flames traveled westward at a brisk pace, before an easterly wind, burning some seventy tons of and belonged to T.
F. Butterfield; about eight tons owned by Dennis McNeill, and a small stack belonging to IVm. Buell. Part of Mr. Buell's hay was saved by the neighbors who turned out to fight the fire.
The strip burned was something like a mile long and a hundred rods wide. Articles of incorporation will be filed in a day or two for the Fort Dodge Northwestern Railway Company. This is a new company which has just been organized by Hamilton Brown. It is backed by eastern capital and is intended to connect Fort Dodge with Pocahontas Center, for years without a railway, and other northwestern points. The people of Pocahontas stand ready to assist the enterprise liberally, and other pointswill be also anxious to assist.
The stock has all been subscribed, and it is announced that the road will certainly be built this season. Sheriff Phillipa came into Dubuque from Cascade, having in custody a crazy man named Peter Konter. Peter had placed in the jail at Cascade for safe keeping, but it came pretty near being a mistake to incarcerate him in that institution. After he had been locked up he took a notion to break things, and immediately carried the notion into effect by demolishing all the furniture. Then he turned his attention to the jail itself and before he could be locked in a cell had half the roof torn off and half of one side pushed out.
It took eight men to hold him down after he had been seized. A case remarkable because of the claim of the defendant's attorney was before Mayor court, at Le Mars. Milliam Bever was arrested, charged with allowing his place to be used as a gambling resort, and that certain parties did on Sunday play at cards in said place for a consideration, that consideration being the drinks. T. M.
Zink defended Bever and filed a demurrer on the grounds that under the Prohibitory laws of the state liquor had no value, and as it was not proven that any other consideration had been played for asked that the defendant be discharged. The mayor sustained the demurrer and discharged the defendant. John Gtvin, superintendent of the (owa division of the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railroad, died on the 24th inst. at his home in Des Moines. On Saturday, March 12th he was at his office for the last time, and his illness was of but twelve duration.
Mr. Given was born in Ireland on the Bth day of July, 1832, und came to America in 1852, landing in Philadelphia, where he remained four years. He came to Keokuk in 1850, and became connected with the old Keokuk, Ft. Des Moines Minnesota railroad. He was successively advanced in official capacity until in 1883 he removed to Des Moines as the superintendent of the Keokuk Des Moines and lowa division of the Rock Island road.
He was a man much admired by those who knew him. Governor Boies has pardoned Chas. Cook, serving a life term in the Ft. Madison penitentiary for killing a guard named Fitzgerald in 1882. He signed the pardon upon the request of the legislature.
Cook, who is but 18 years of age, was originally sent up for a minor offense from Council Bluffs. Only a short time before his term expired he conspired with Polk Wells, another convict, to chloroform the guard and escape. They carried out this plan successfully and reached Illinois in safety. They msed too much chloroform, however, and the guard died. They were recaptured after an exciting chase and brought back, and after trial Cook was sentenced for life.
J. Shrievers, of Adams county, who has been conducting the movement for his release, left for the penitentiary with the pardon, and will take Cook home with him. Mrs. William Zimmerman at Odebolt attempted setting fire to her clothing. She has been a user of opium and chloral for a long time, and was, as a consequence, unbalanced mentally.
Recently she demanded more of the drugsthan usual, and when they were not forthcoming she watched her opportunity, and while her husband was at a neighbor's she touched a match to her underclothing and then ran out of doors. Her cries attracted the attention of the neighliors, who extinguished the flames, but not before she was horribly burned. It is thought that she will die, as large pieces of flesh have dropped from her body and limbs. She is kept under the influence of opiates. Her husband saysshe attempted suicide by hanging some time ago, and only the timely interference of friends saved her life.
Mrs. F. S. Crafton was shot and killed by her husband in a house of ill fame at Des Moines. They, together with a number of gamblers and toughs, had gone to the house to have, as Crafton expresses it, a and after getting pretty well filled with liquor, Crafton pulled a bull dog revolver from his pocket and began to whirl it on his finger.
Someone objected to such carelessness, when Mrs. Crafton told her husband to pointdt at her, as she was not afraid. He did so and almost immediately a deafening report was heard and Mrs. Crafton was found to be wounded the abdomen. She died in ten minutes.
Crafton was arrested, and as some hint at the possibility of premeditated murder the matter will be investigated. Mrs. Crafton is said to be the daughter of an ex-mayor of Sioux City. The residence of H. B.
Varnum, a large farmer and stock raiser who resides about a mile southwest of Marshalltown. was discovered by a member of the family to lie on fire. The flames spread so rapidly that it was impossible to save any of the contents, the tire having originated from the furnace, and the cellar was a mass of flames in a very short time. Several farmers who were on their way home from the city re adored what aid they could. The alarm was turned in and Chief Johnson and several members of AUDUBON AUDUBON IOWA, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, the department went to the scene, but could do nothing.
The family found shelter with the neighbors. Mr. Varnum is president of the Mutual Insurance company, aud was insured for 81,000 in the -Etna and 8700 in another compano. The residence was valued at $3,500 and the contents at $2,000, so the loss will be considerable. A close call for murder happened at Eddyville.
Mr. Crosen, a young lounger, was standing in front of the butcher shop making some remarks, when Mr. Lafferty came along und cut Mr. Crosen from the rear. Mr.
Crosen released himself from Lafferty's grasp and whirled around to face his opponent. They both squared themselves, but as they were about to strike they were checked by surrounding parties. In the scuffle Mr. Lafferty fell. As he was in the act of getting up Crosen struck him but was taken off the prostrate man.
Lafferty got up and ran into the butcher shop and secured a long butcher knife and wheeled and met Crosen at the door of the shop striking him a heavy blow on the side of the head, making a fearful and dangerous wound. Had the blow been one inch lower it would certainly have caused instant death. They arc both being cared for by their friends. I The state auditor is making arrangements to take care of the direct war tax refund amounting to $334,498.01, which will soon be received from the nat(pnal government. The following circular letter was sent out by the auditor to the various county auditors in the state: Auditor's Oflice, State of Moines, lowa, March 25, 1882.
To the County Auditor: The state of lowa will in a very short time come into possession of the direct war tax, refund, from the general government. Two hundred thirty-four thousand and four hundred ninety-eight 100 dollars ($234,498.01) of the nun thus received will at once be paid into the the permanent school fund of the state as directed by chapter 184, laws of the the Twenty-second General Assembly, and I desire to immediately place the same with the counties needing it. If you can use any additional school fund in your county, to be loaned according to law, it will be necessary for you to notify me without delay, stating the amount required as I apprehend this money will be in great demand. Counties will be favored in the order in which their requests are received. Respectfully yours, J.
A. Lyons, Auditor of State. The Wright county grand jury is in session and investigating the murder of William Mills at Dows recently. But little progress has been made. The law closes the mouth of Mrs.
Palmer, and notwithstanding the murder was witnessed by at least three other persons the evidence does not seem to be forthcoming. The sympathy is very strong both at Clarion and at Dows in favor of S. G. Palmer, who is suspected of being the cause of death; and the prejudice is so bitter against Mills for breaking up at least three homes that it may lie impossible to secure a jury in Wright county to convict the murderer. The circ*mstances of the murder are us follows: On the evening of March 16th Mrs.
rMinnie Palmer and her sister, Bessie Clow, were on their way home when they were met by William Mills. Mills followed Mrs. Palmer while her sister went to only a few rods distant Mrs. Palmer says that they had just got inside tlie house and both were standing in the middle of the room, Mills with his back to the door, when a man rushed in at the front door and struck Mills across the head with a club, killing him instantly. She screamed and ran outdoors.
Ashpole met her at the door, passed in and ejected the murderer from the room. She says that the murderer was her husband and that two other men in front, of the house and watched the affair but offered no interference. Ashpole, notwithstanding the murderer was clothed as usual, without any attempt at disguise, claims not to have recognized him. Mrs. Palmer denies the charge of intimacy with Mills and says she had refused to have anything to do with him because of his bad reputation and did not invite him to her house at that time.
A novel way of making money has recently come to light in Spirit Lake which is causing no little gossip. Some three years ago a well-to-do young farmer in that vicinity answered an advertisem*nt in a matrimonial publication, and soon had on his hands a redhot correspondence with a young lady by the name of Melville, who lived near Lewiston, Me. In time he proposed, and was accepted on certain conditions. The conditions were as follows: If, after seeing him, she was willing to carry out the marriage he was to deed her eighty acres of land and give her 8500 cash. In case she decided not to marry him he was to give her 8200.
A contract of that kind was sent out for him to sign, which he did. In this last October, to be historically accurate, Miss Melville came to Spirit Lake to meet the young man, and was taken to his farm, three miles from town, where a maiden aunt was the presiding genhis. For about a week the Maine female, who is said to have been very attractive, remained the young guest, and one morning, to his surprise, announced that she had decided not to marry him, and demanded the 8200. All protest amounted to nothing, and he had to come down with the money. Recent investigation has brought to light the fact that this woman makes a good living by just such deals.
Prior to coming to lowa she filled a date in Texas, and went direct from here to southern Illinois. A lawyer in Maine draws up her contracts. It is reported on pretty good authority that she manages to fill ten appointments a year, and considering the fact that her victims, beside the S3OO forfeit, pay her railroad fare, she has a pretty good income. The Dickinson county victim has found two fellow sufferers, and they propose to look into her financial tactics. He is done with adventuresses of this kind, ami feels quite chagrined over his experience.

Arbald Janz, a carrier of the Chicago Staata Zeitung, was assassinated while leaving his home for his daily rounds. Michael Tecliel, au aspirant to daughter's hand, was arrested charged with shooting the victim from ambush. In the English house of commons, Lord George Hamilton, first lord of the admiralty, admitted that the stoker at the seamen's hospital at Davenport, had been sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment for refusing to take a shamrock out of his cap on St.
Patrick's day, when ordered to do so. He did not think the punishment was severe, as the offense was a refusal to obey orders. Several Irish members pro tested they would bring the subject up again. Several days ago James N. Guthrie, a prominent Baptist divine, of Pottsville received intelligence of the killing of his son, Luther, on the Pennsylvania road at Johnstown.
The mother went on and identified the supposed remains of her son and had the same taken home and with due ceremony interred them. It now transpires that Guthrie is still alive, a letter written after the burial having been received. It is not known yet whoso body was interred. There was a terrible exnlosion of dynamite at 39 Rue Clichy, Paris, the home of M. Boulat, the public prosecutor.
The attempt was against his life, which Ims been threatened repeatedly by anarchists. Seven persons were seriously injured. The whole interior of the building was wrecked and in two adjacent houses all the doors and windows were smashed. M. Roulat and his family escaped uninjured.
The calling of the registrat ion of the female vote in the towns and cities of Kansas indicates a waning interest in the suffrage question by the women of the state. The registration of women in Topeka this year is 1,250, a reduction of nearly one-half as compared with last year. The same is true of Leavenworth, Atchison, Kansas City, Wichita and other cities. An outbreak, hi the nature of a riot, occurred at Kent, 0., which for a time threatened serious results. Some Erie switchmen were discharged and new men put in their pjpees.

A feminine kidnapper was arrested at Chicago after three years' escape from justice. She is a looking, well dressed woman of 36, who gives the name of Mrs.
Mary Deighton, alias Murray. She admitted that in 1881) she carried away twelve-year-old Mabel Hopkins from her home in Washington Boulevard. She gained admission to the house on the plea of being au artist, who wished to give the child lessons in painting. She says the kidnapping was at the instigation of Mabel's father, E. B.
Hopkins, crockery merchant, And Hattie Eggleston, said to be liis mistress. The daughter is now said to be in a convent in Canada.

WAR CLOUDS LIFTED, SALISBURY'S NOTE WILL EFFECT A SETTLEMENT. Great Britain Thnt the Trouble Is Over UvnincrsU Protest Against a Gag Huie ami House. Washington, March 30. threatened war between thia country and Great Britain is off. Such was tho opinion in the Senate this morning, bused on the reply of Salisbury, cabled from London.
The reply is a very graceful backdow on the part of the British premier. Considerable surprise was expressed that Salisbury should have replied so soon after the note of March 22. ills doing so is looked epon ns proof tliat Salisbury Ims till along been playing a bluff game und tlint lie regarded tlie note in question in tlie light of an ultimatum, mid naturally concluded that the sooner lie threw up the sponge the better.

They had under cou sideration the termsof tho reply to the proposition of Lord Salisbury respecting tho question of damages before the arbitrators us affecting the renewal of the modus viveudi.
The President will prepare his reply and submit it to tho Cabinet to-day und then in nil probability will send it. to the senute. Ho may demand further concessions from Lord Salisbury, but until hedoes, tho majority of Hie Senators believe that ho will express himself satisfied with the reply. Should he do so tho treaty will bo ratified ut once mid tho war cloud which Ims been hovering above the nation for some time past will fade into an irridescent dream.

TIIK GAG HI I.K. Silver lleniiicrats Itefuao to Ahl Bland In Forcing Vote. VVasHIHUTON. March final battle between the free and niiti-silvcr men has been postponed day anil there is possibility that it will be postponed indefinitely. The was duo to tho late hour of Mr.
return, which pre- COHORBSSMAH (ILARO. vented meeting of the rules committee in time to prepare, discuss mid agree upon the contemplated resol ut ion. Tho word was then passed that the resolution would bo reported to-morrow, but since then a new stumbling block has been discovered. Such resolution as Bland desires and as Crisp, Catchings mill McMillin favor would bo in the nature of a cloture rule. An anti-silver Democrat recalled to the Speaker's attention in private today the fact that the Democratic caucus decided that the gng power should not be exercised except upon petition from a majority of the Democrats.
Such ti petition has not been made, and when Bland's memory was jogged ho ut once prepared a petition and started out for signatures. To his great surprise be found many silver Democrats who refused to sign the petition. They said they did not want to go on record as voting in favor of any gag law. If the Free Silver bill couldn't pass on its aicrits, they were opposed to thrusting it down the throats of the anti-silver people. Bland argued with them und aoisstill arguing.
He hopes to win them over and to get the required majority. If he fails, the committee will sot, it is thought, bring in the resolution. Speaker Crisp said, late in the day dint the committee on rules would not the cloture resolution unless Hand secured the necessary petition, le had told Bland so. Bland at first leclared ho would not get such a peti Later, however, he changed his nind and is still at work. Immediately steakcr's decision betaine noised among the members was joy in the faces of the antis, while the countenances of the free diver men stretched to twice their latural length.
It is regarded ns mother knock-down blow in favor of antis, and one which precludes urther consideration of the bill, not mly for this session, but for the entire Hfty-second Congress, unless Bland hould secure the required petition, lis doing so is regarded as improbable. The Republican lenders in the House tremendously pleased nt the outorne. Mr. motion to table the Bland bill gave the chance or every one to go on record. And the presented an almost solid 'rant.
