Dr. Meaniager said today in speaking of the peculiar epidemic of laryngitis or whatever it i an ug chiliiren in the city: "l think th.it there is less of the disease than there wad a few days ago. There is not euoiurh hoarenes or sora neiJ uf thslarynl for laryngitis. The disease is more like catarrhal bronchitis. There are frequen tly patches uf consoli dation on the lungi and in thesti cases dt much resembles li b-ilar pneumonia. In some families as many as four children wers taken down at one time. The dis ease is dangerous because there is a ten dency to pnfumoni. 4,1 thin that th cause of the allectlon in most cis( is t le in.utlicient heating of the roams.

The Insane Man Then Took His Own Life. KIDOF.wat, Mo., Dec. 1. The r.iost horrible human butchery ever record ed was committed four and one-half miles southwest of this city aboat 1 p. m. yesterday. David G. Spraja-, in a fit of insanity, murdered his vife arid two children, mortally wounded two step children and then took his own life. The fearful weapon which he wielded with ouch appalling re sults was a lar-c btitcher knife. IV umbers from town left for the scene as soon as the dreadful news was heard. On arriving at the place a most sickening- siht met t heir traze. Ikying- in the yard near the pate was the body of Mrs. Sprasir with dis heveled hair and mutilated bvg-hastly cuts and gashes almost beyond recognition. Tlie interior of the little dwelling- presented a gruesome aspect indeed. In ono corner of the Bitting room lay the lifeless body of little Caley Sprag-g-, and in the other, Albert, only 14 months old. His head was resting- on the slate sitii which, he had just been playirtr. Poth had hideous wounds in their throats through which tho life blood was still oozing away. Jn the kitchen floor, stil I clenehinir a smok in? shotg-un in his liands and his head almost torn from his bodvi lay the author of the awful crime. Great pools of blood ha I coag-uiated on the floors and evidences of a terrible struggle were plainly visible ail over the house. The walls and furniture were spattered with blood. The particulars of tae wholesale butchery are learned fr.iu Dora Onstatt. a stepda jphter of Spraq-c-'s a child about 11 years old. who succeed ed in eluding- his murderous attack, and escaped to a neighbor's. Her fctatement is substantially as follows: Sprag-g- had bec-n compla.nlnir of a headache all morning- and his ren rest neighbor, Mr. Meyers, v:is sent to Ridg-eway after a physician. Soon after Meyer's departure Le tied his son Clint and cut his throat, and then attacked his wife. She rau out into the yard pursued by the maniac, who final!- caught her it, a des perate strug-trie ensued. The in furiated demon literally hacked her head and face to pieces, asid then, severing- her head almost completely from her body, dratred her oy the hair into the yard, where l e left her. Dora was sick in bed, but when he commenced his fiendish work she jrot up and made her escape. Some time is supposed to have elapsed after killing- the older ch ldren before 1 e took the life of th baby, f r the little fel low was heard crying- by persons who bail arrived by this time, but were deterred from entering ly his pres ence in the doorway with a loaded shotsrun. lie closed the door and presently two shots were heard. When the house was opened Sprasrg was found weltering- in his p-ore, the charg-e from the g-un having taken ef fect in his head, literally drenching the room with his blood and brains. NICARAGUA BILL. IS Is Acnln Considered by the Senate Iolph and sbumian .4ic. Washington', Dec, 13.

Mr. Cocki-ell presented the house resolution providing- for the pay of the salaries of the. employes of the house and senate for December on 20th insb, and it was passed. In a brief speech Mr. Sherman pointed out that lies only provision of the iNicaraguan bill that he was not entirely satisfied with was the amount to be paid to the Maritime company, which he thought was entitled only to the amount of the money expended in the enterprisa thus far. He wanted the bill stripped of ail doubt ful provisions in this respect an 1 to have refunded to the company all ex penses made by it. Having- paid that the government could proceed to work constructing without interfer ence by tne com pan v.

In a collision be tween cable cars in the Washing-ton street tunnel last evening- two men were fatally hurt, fifteen more were seriously injured and a score af others more or less bruised. The cars were set on fire by the stoves and for a time there was a fearful panic around the scene. Doth the West Madison street and the Milwaukee avenue cable lines run throug-n the tunnel aud at the time the accident occurred 6:30 o'clock all the west-bound cars are jammed to suffocation with people returning- from business on the South side. A Madison street cable train consisting- of a grip car and two trail ers was two-thirds of the way down the incline toward the bottom of the tunnel when the cable train of the Milwaukee avenue line, also consisting- of three ears', entered the tun nel. Almost immediately after starting- down the slope. Gripman T. 11. Moran of the Milwaukee evenue lino lost his hold on the cable and the car slipped forward down the steep incline at a fearful speed. Moran rang- his alarm bell, and he and the conductor set all the brakes on the train, but were utterly unable to hold it, and just as the bottom of the tunnel was reached the runaway cars struck the Madison street train with awful force, smashing- its rear oar into splinters and demolishing- the Milwaukee avenue g-rip car. Both cars were piled up in a heap, from which such passeng-ers as were capa ble of moving- crawled out, battered and bleeding-. Each of the two wrecked cars held about seventy-five passengers and that a number of them were not instantly killed was a wonder. To add to the horror of the acci dent one of the wrecked cars caught fire and beg-an to blaze furiously. All the people injured on both cars had been removed before the fire became dangerous, however. A number of people were pinioned in the wreck and others were held fast between the wreckage and the walls of the tunnel. All of them were quickly removed and the Ore exting-uished by an engine company which responded to the alarm. The cause of the acci dent was the breaking- of the grip on the Milwaukee avenue grip car. With this out of order there was Dothing except the brakes and they were powerless ag-ainst the heavy load on the cars.

Marshals Raid Game of Counterfeiters, Had Their Headquarters in a Cave in Oklahoma. FIVE OF THEM CAUGHT Had Been Operating in Indiana and Missouri. Guthrie, Ok.. Dec. 12. A squad of deput' United States marshals have just unearthed a dangerous band of counterfeiters who have been operat ing in conjunction with counterfeit ers in Indiana and Missouri. A chance word uttered by a member of the gang while intoxicated led to a raid and the subsequent lodging in the United States jail of the following leaders af the gang: Guy Harper, L. Crawford, Joseph Tillery. Jess Lock ett and Sam Lockett. After shadowing these men three months and two days, all of which time spurious coins, ranging in de nomination from ten cents to SI, were circulated, the outlaws unwittingly I led their captors to an underground cave a few miles east of Perkins. After locating the underground j mint, the deputies organised and' armed themselves to th teeth. At 3 o'clock yesterda3' morning the ofti j cers descended in'o the cavern, 1 and after traversing a snbter- ranean passage for loo yards, j quickly burst in a door and I found twenty-five men at work. The counterfeiters had been trapped so adroitly and were so taken by sur i prise that they failed to show tight. and scattered like rats through hidden i exits. All escaped save those above named, but it develops that the pris oners were the leaders and the spur I ious money makers, and that the 1 others were only "shovers," their work being to lioat the spurious coin. W ith the prisoners the officers gath ered in three buckets-full of counter i feit dollars and two tubsful of dimes, quarters and nickels, besides a splen did and costly assortment of moulds and other queer paraphernalia. The underground cavern was elabo rately furnishe-d, containing folding beds, works of art, divans, fine Brus sels carpet and a safe. The men had been operating in the cave nearly eight months, and much of the spuri ous coin was boxed and expressed to pals in other states to be placed in circulation. All the counterfeiters are educated and well-dressed, and two of those captured are on the "chappy" order. Tillery was at one time an employe in the mintat Phila delphia. The little town of Perkins is greatly excited over the raid. The Dockett brothers resided in Perkins and were considered exemplary young men. Deputy D. S. McKay planned the raid. The prisoners are reticent and so far have refused to answer questions. Faruoua Pension Case Kuda. Springfield, Ilh, Dec. 12. For the second time the United States supreme court has dismissed the ap peal of Daniel Benton, alias William Newby. Benton was convicted in the United States district court here of falsely impersonating William Nevvbv, a Federal soldier killed in the battle of Shiloh, and reappearing as Newby a few years ago at Newby's old home in Southern Illinois and presenting- a claim for pension benefit. He was sentenced to three years in the Chester prison. The case was dis missed for failure to file the appeal boud. This will probably end this famous case. Killed by a School Oirl. Guthrie, Ok., Dec 12. An exciting race war exists in Oak Grove school district.

"We need ti- lancial legislation badly," said Sen ator Teller, "but neither Secretary Carlisle's plan nor what is known as the Baltimore plan is feasible. Ia fact, Mr. Carlisle's is absurd.

"I do not look for an extra session, tad I don't believe President Cleve 'and wants one. What good would it do? The house would be Republican the senate Democratic-Populist, and Mr. Cleveland wold continue to hold his own views, so that you would have the three branches of the gov ernment with varied views and ao crospect of harmonious action.
