An Ohio Congressman Who Wants the Tariff Left Alone, but Says it Must Restored on Wool—A Sectional stead of a Party Issue After All. * 1 4 WASHINGTON, D. C., January 7.—Co gressman Eaton of Connecticut was ask if he was in favor of making the tariff t main issue in the next campaign. He replied “I would be if I were in favor of the Dem- ocratic party being beaten.” “Then you do not believe in forcing agita- tion at the present time?” f „Most d eldedly not.“ “Why * ; In the first place, I want to tell you that I am a revenue reformer. I was elected upon! that issue. I probably have the reform of the tariff as much at heart as any one, but any agitation of the subject in the House at present is useless. Wecannot do anything beyond mere talk. In the first place 1 do not be- lieve we can pass any general bill through, the House, There are at least sixty Demo- cratic members, in my judgment, who will), vote against any tariff revision this session, If a bill could be passed through the House it could not pass the Senate. Ii it could pass there the President would veto it. Why should we seek to dash ourselves egainst a stone wall and unsettie business with an im- practicable agitation? It is a part of the Republican scheme to have this question of protection and tariff reform made the main issue of the coming campaign. Some of the members of our party have r WALKED INTO THIS TRAP already. ‘The Republicans have already spread demoralizaiion among the Lrish-Amer- ican voters in this country. There are over 300,000 of these voters who would desert the Democratic party if they saw us upon a plat- form of free trade, where any money of this country could go into che pockets of English merchants free of tax. No, sir, we have ab- solutely nothing to gain by the agitation of this question, and everythiug to lose. Why shouid the question be furced now when we can do nothing ?”’ “What do you think should be the main issue f the Democratic party for tha next r „Turn the thieves out of the temple. It will be time enoug for us to reform the tar- iff when we have a Democratic President and control of Congress. Ido not Believe in the humbug of civil service reform, so Republicans N ernment in all its details in the hands of good Democrats. Then we can take up the reformation of the tariff without making a party question of it. It is a great economic question, and ought to be treated from a standpoint of busi- ness. I do not object this winter to consider, perhaps, special bills remedying some of the evils of the tariff if there is any chance of passing them, but I am uncompromisingly against any general bill. I understand a genera! bill will be brought in very soon, There ought not to be much delay. I understand it was pre- pared six months ago, but I hope it is not true. Once we are lauuched upon another tariff discussion tnere is no telling where it will end.” JUDGE BUCKNER’S OPINION. Judge A. H. Buckner of Missouri was one of Carlisie’s warmest supporters. He said to-day: “I am now opposed to any legisiation of the tariff question at this session, because I am:certain that nothing can come of it. The Democratic party wants to win next year, sure, and it is not going to do it ifat the outset we array the business interesis against us. I did at une time think it would be possible to pass a bill providing for a 25 per cent horizontal reduction in the same manner that the 25 per cent reduction was passed in 1855. I am convinced that the best thing for us to do is to have a short ses- sion, pass as economical apprupriation bills as possible, and get away frum here by the ist of June. If the tariff ques- tion is once brought up in Congress there is no knowing what will be the result. We may be here until August, aud in that case our chance of success will be hopelessly lost. We want to pursue the most conserva- tive methods. I believe io-day there is a de- cided majority in the country in favor of turning out those who have been so long in power. I believe they will do so if we don't give them cause to distrust us. What can we o to win when Dou Cameron can go about among the manufacturers of Pittsburg and raise $60,000 with which to carry Indiana? No, sir, vou can put me down as against impracticable tariff agitation. It is a matter fur our House caucus to take up. I hope the tariff agitation may be avoided in some way.” Judge Buckner added that if the tariff discussion should be furced in the House so as to occupy much time, he was certain that the effect would be to make the numination of an Eastern candidate more than probable. In that event he would look to see Abram S. Hewitt brought prominently forward. He was a man who believed in revenue reform, yet was so conserva- tive in his methods as to command the confidence of the business classes. Mr. Hewitt, besides this, was a man of rare ability, witha most favorable na. tional reputation. His name would be guar antee an * enough. Judge Buckue“ said in all this tariff talk he kuew scarcely ar Democrat who was not an out and out free trader. Judge n of Texas, who is one of the most Advanced in his expressions, voted last winter against reducing the tariff upon lumber on account of tnat interest in his own State. By so doing he gave his po- sition as a free trade advocate wholly away. year the mewbers were becoming more and more pampered by local interests. It would be honest to concede that a tariff for revenue is not a necessity, for many years to 1 and that the changes to be made must de made slowly and with care. JUDGE HOLMAN looked very thoughtful whea he was ask what he thought about the policy of havin a tariff discussed in the present House and of — the tariff issue to de fo into prominence for 1863. “I have not wholl made up oy mind,” said 1 what ls the best thing to be done. ore the election oft 241 thought it best to avoid making the issue of tariff a sharp one in view of the fact that nothing can be done.

A CINCINNATI CONGRESSMAN. 8 Congressman Fotiett of Cincinnati, said: You can put me down as against any legis- lation on the tariff question this wiater. I believe it can only du harm. It can certain- K. do no good. The business interests of ‘the country are suffering now {rom tne ef- fecis of the tariff agitation of last win- ter. You know commercial inter- esis are sensitive and capitalists easily take alarm. I understand from Cin- cinnati that the entire tobacco trade has be- dome demuralized there by a mere introduc- tion of a bill abolishing the tax upon manu- factured tobacco, If tne mere introduction of a dill can do so much, what would be the Tresuit of renewed agitatlou?“ Do you believe any tariff bill couid be passed by the present House?“ “No, Ido not. Lam sure there are enough Democrats opposed to tariff agitation to de- feat any genera) meaxure reported by the Ways aud Means Committee.“ MR. CONVERSE Ohio was not ineciined to very freely upon the tariff, but he as no hesitation in saying that the way Onio goes next year will be largely determined by the action of the Democrats He thinks hio was lost tothe Republicans last . ¥ the reduction of the tariff on wool. uple in that State are demanding a res- ration of the tariff on this pr duct.

Biand of M N ral inquiry, said: ) lieadnas are to be turned out there must reas us for it. My opinion is the people de- mand a modification of the tariff by strip- piag the system of its monopoly features. They demand a simplification of the internal revenue system, so as to curtail the number ofits officers and cheaper collections. They demand tuat all grants of lands not earned by the raiiruvuads shall be forfeited to the Government and revert back to the people fur homestead entries. They de- mand a just system regulating inter-state commerce, to the end that extortion shall be prevented by lines of transportation. They demand that Congress shall cease its ex- actions from the tux-payer to build up and pretect favored monopolies, fostering class interests, diverting the subsiance of the connuen people to the creating oli special in- terests and special privileges that result in making mliliona:res of the few and paupers and tramps of the many.” A PENNSYLVANIAN. Congressman Jame- H. Hopkins of Penn- sylvania is very decidediy against the agita- tion of the tariff question this winter. The objection he urges against it is the imprac- ticability of the whole question and the ab- solute certainty of causing serious divisions in the Democratic ranks without accomplish- ing any good. ‘The understanding last winter was that the tariff question was settled for some time. He believes in letting it entirely alone and makiug the issue next year simply good government and agnti-centralization. Indications.

They Won the Affections of an In- nocent School Girl. Met in the Village Post Office —The Flirta- tion, Ruin and Abandonment—Taken Home. , By Telegravh to the Post-Dispateh. Boston, MAss., January 7.—4 respect- able and wealthy citizen of New York State, who wasinthis city last week anxiously searching for hls wayward daughter, has succeeded in finding her. The lady, who is about 19 years of age, was brought up in the best society and was afford- ed a fine education by ber father, who carries on a manufacturi ng business in Yonkers. About three years ago she was sent to a boarding-school in the westeru part of the State, anda few months later made the acquaintance of a fashionably-dressed young man at the village post office. The young man gave the name of Henry Aimes and represented himself as a traveling sales- man for the firm of Haskell & Simons, job- bers and importers, of Boston. Aimes claimed to be the son of wealthy parents, aud said he was following the business of salesman simply for the purpose of getting a praciical knowledge of the world, such as would prepare bim for an active busi- ness on his own account when he came into possession of his daudy's thousands. BY HONEYED WORDS he won the innocent girl’s affections, and under pr: mise of marriage he accomplished her ruin last summer. Jennie soon realized her condition and came to Boston in search of Aimes, whom she believed would prove true to her if he knew her position. She searched for him several days without avail, and finally finding the firm of Haskell & Siinons was a myth she became completely discouraged and sought shelter in a fashion- able house of iil repute. It seems that just before she left boarding-school the lady prin- cipal suspected her misfortune and decided to notify ner parents. Jennie, aware of this move, had ber trunks packed and started ostensibly for New York. On reaching Sprivgtield she had her trunks re-checked for this city. During the past month her father has n MAKING ACTIVE SEARCH for her, and through the transfer of the trunks at Springfield traced her to Boston. Ou reaching here he employed a detective, and while walking by the Tremont House, without knowing it, almost caine face to face with her. He did not see her, but she saw him and dodged down a by street. This was Friday a week ago. On this day Jennie hast- ily left the house she was in, and purchasing a ticket for Waterbury, Conn., took a train on the New York and New Eugland Railroad a few days later. The father, with a detective, found the house at which Jennie had boen stopping, but the landiady, with a heartiessnesss common to ennie was traced to the rson who had removed aterbury it was learned ules were frozen to death on af 1 * 22 a. ‘HARTFORD * 4 4 d visieg te ee e same ev rious “houses 0 third house visited, on State street, the father found his daughter, and the scene between them was affecting in the extreme.

As to the present Wherrabouts of Aimes nothing is known, but sbould he turn up it is prob- able that he will be made to suffer for his villainy in some form or other. BREWSTER’S BILLS. The U. S. Attorney-General Placed in an Embarrassing Position, By Telegraph tothe Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 7. — It is probable that the information called for in Senator Van Wyck’s resolution, relating to the expenditures of the Department of Jus- tice, will be sent in to the Senate some time during this week. The Attorney-Generai’s report, so far as it refers to the special ex- penditures, has been held back thus far for some reason or other, so that no information of an accurate nature can be had as to the gross amounts of the expenses of this de- partment. Mr. Van Wyck, however, has called for the vouchers and the items of the expense account of the department during the last year, and a transcript of the accounts as they standin the Treasury Department is now being made. From a trustworthy source your correspondent has learned the character of the most interesting facts in these documents. In the first place, it will be shown that enormous sums have been wasted in the payment of spies or so-called detect- ives, who have had their expenses paid, down to even drinks. One detective has an item in his account, approved by tue Attor- ney-General, for driuks at Driver's saloon on the avenue, White shadowing some one under orders from the Department. Another de- tective has AN ACCOUNT FOR DRINKS at John Hancuck’s while he laid in wait for some one tuat the department wanted to trace to a house of ill repute near this saloon. One detective followed Senator Spencer to Canada and shadowed him for days and weeks at a most extraordinary ex- pense, without tue slightest reason or re- sult. and turee or four detectives were sent to New York for the alleged purpose of find- ing John Walsh, at the time of the last Kel- logg trial, and spent three weeks in an alleged search for Walsh, while he walked openly upon Broadway nearly every day,and did not make the slightest attempt to con- ceal himself. Spies were employed for almost every conceivable pur- pose, and a second set of spies was set to watch the first. It will also be shown that some extraordinary fees have been paid. There are cases of special coun- sei employed outin the ‘Territories at the rate of $50 a day. Some of the most shame- less bills for expenses have been put in by George Bliss, and have all been approved by the Attorney-General. Besides receiving $100 a day from the Goverument ever since his connection with — 1 R = item o 8 - ey isa fair sample ill-repute. At telegrams, $21 , $476; tom T $225 18.

Strong and Crehore of the Yale College Glee Club Badly Injured. LOUISVILLE, Ky., January 7. — From statements made by the Yale College stu- dents, now in this city, it would appear that the terrible accident on Saturday at Charies- town, Ind., was the result of carelessness on the part of the train engineer. The St Louis train was behind time and the stu- dents in their anxiety to reach Louisville in time for their performance at Masonie Temple, made arrangements to have their car, the. “City of Worcester,” side tracked and hitched on to the Cincinnati fast express at Charlestown The engineer of the express was directed to be on the lookout, but he failed, and ran into the St. Louis train just as the students’ car was being uncoupled. Otis Strong of Auburn and W. W. Crebore of Cleveland, Ohio, who were the greatest sufferers, are still at Char estown under surgical treat- ment. Strong’s right leg has been amputated and the left one will probably have to ga, too Crehore sustained a compound fracture of the right leg, but is doing well, aud it-is hoped the limb may be saved. Both were very popular with their fellow-students. When the accident happened Strong fell be- tween the coal box and a division door of‘ one of the apartments. His right leg was crushed to a shapeless mass. by the machinery of the anges aud his left was wrenched between the box and the = tition and was broken in three places. Ore- hore’s experience was even more frightful when the crash came, He was cramped be- tween the outer edge of the passenger coach and the cylinder bar. His leit lower leg was broken in several places and a compound fracture at the hip joint was sustained. While in his perilous position the stove in the car was overturned and the flames whicn communicated to the seats were leaping towards him rapidly. Had not assistance come in the nick of time the unfurtunate young mao would have been burned to death. The students will make heavy de- mands against the O. & M. Raii Com- iroad pany. : WHO CREHORE IS. W. W. Crehore, who was so badly injured at Charleston, Ind., in the collision of the Yale Glee Club car, is a son of J. D. Crehore of Cleveland, Ouio, a civil engineer widely known in civil engineer circles, and who was a Professor in the Washington University in this city in 1861 and 1862. SUFFOCATED TO DEATH. The Fate of Four Prisoners in the Jere seyville Jail. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. JERSEYVILLE, January 7.—The County ‘Court House and Jail day, at a loss to the county of $20, discovered the fire between 5 and 6 in the morning. He went to Sheriff Frost’s resi- dence, a quarter of a mile from the Jail, to get the keys. Not finding the keys there, be went a quarter of a mile farther, to Deputy Sheriff Biay’s, where he found the keys and returned with the officers. After the keys were produced it was impossible to enter the building for the smoke, Sponges were ‘procured, and, with these in their mouths, the officers succeeded in getting into the jail. Jndge Hardman next rushed up stairs and thrust open the win- duws. Two of the _ prisoners—Hoeh- ler and Schultz—died in a few moments after being brought out into the air. Those who brought out the dead bodies were James Powell, Charley Keith, Wm. Hibble and Rev. F. M. Vantreez. The dead are Wall Dunden, aged 25 years, held for the 33 Nellie Dodson, May 22, 1883; August Shultz, ‘aged 34, held for stealing a coat, December 26, 1883; Emile Kohler, aged 20 years, held for stealing a mule on the 22d of 1883; James Griffs (colored), aged heid for petit larceny, November 76 berths with sheets wrapped & their heads and faces, showing that © had dled hard.

The good Sisters of the Convent of the Immaculate Oonception, which is located on Race street, and overlooks the Cairo Short Line lu that elty, were awakoned by the sensation which dense smoke pro- duces, and while still uncertain as to the nature of the impending danger, were further started by a oud hammering on the maln entrance door of the institution and the hoarse voice of a man shouting “Fire!” The children were all asleep in the third floor dormitory, and it appears from the little évidence obtainable that they were not awakened until some time after the sisters had arisen and @ressed. The halls and rooms on the lower floors of the building were filled with smoke, which was rapidly finding its way to where the little ones were. There is a statement afloat that, rewem- bering the intense cold without. and fearing the disastrous consequences of a panic, the Sisters refrained fora time from giving the alarm, but sought rather to locate the fire and fight it quietly, in the hope of obviating the necessiiy of sending the half-hundred dainty innocents out into the night and the cold. If this be true, it was a terrible mistake, buta mistake born only of the noblest motives, and hence in no wise rep- rehensible. . The heat and smoke were found to be most dense in the south end of the west wing of the building, ana this, coupled with a number of other circum- that subsequently appeared, warrants the pelle that the fire originated iu the furnace-room the basement of the wing. It required very few moments—aud moments were precious then as years ordinarily—to convince the sisters that the test danger impended, and only the most work could impede it. The dormitories were visited, mnd the sisters in charge thereof joined in the work of arousing the girls, and pre- them FOR THE ORDEAL, the hope being that an orderiy exit might be made, The smoke bv this time, had become quite thick in the dormitery, and this, with the odor of buruing pine proved too much for the dis- The older giris were asurably tractable, but the little ones immedi- Ately began to scream and beg to de saved, deaf meanwhile to all instiuctions as to what they should do.

It Was such a scene as paralyzes the most vivid im- agination to contemplate, and the frantic, aimless movements of those little white-robed ficures in their agony of fear were as a dance of death, While the screams and prayers of their childish as a requiem.

Durin confusion, some of the more self-possessed o the young misses had made the dash down the stairs and out into the street, with nothing but muslin to shield them from the coldest night of twenty years. Others had sought life by the same avenue, but had found only death, as the subsequent Gevelopments went to show. One pretty heroic girl of 18 years thought not so much of herself that she could not remember those more helpless than she, and without de vot- ing any time to providing for her own protection againt the cold, she ran tu the bed of a little six- year-old innocent, and gathering the child in ber arms, With its bedciothes wrapped around it, she darted out into the ball, and 2 through the smoke, down the stlirway, ung the flames almost lick her im ber de- scent. Almost suffocated at times, she bravely hed ahead in the direction she knew to be the t one, and totteriug and half wild she emerged from THE MAIN ENTRANCE With her thin night robe flying in the cutting breeze and with her precious little bundle of salvage held tightiy to her breast. She dashed across the street, now lit up by the flames of the building, uttered a spontaneous cheer.

Gathering. tiercfore, at the windows of the dormitory overlooking Third South street, and overlooking the railroad, they screamed for some one to come and fake tnem down, waving their hands, their handkerchiefs—anything that micht serve to atiract attention to where they stood. The good Mother Superior (Mother Mary Jerome), to whom the burning institution afd all its grand record represented the achieve- ments of twenty-five of the best years of her life, stood among the children and ciaimed their con- fidence as always, assuring them that she was here and would be with them to the end. She ad been outside the building calling for help afier the fire began, but true to her nature she had returned io her charge, undeterred by the growing danger. AS THE LITTLE ONES * in the wludews waiting for the help that Was never to come, one young woman, Miss Mary . who, being a graduate, was there only or «a holiday visit, saw a couple of firemen below with a ladder which they were endeavoring to raise to her window.

For the want, however, of that twenty feet of wooden apparatus, which (for the information of the Belleville Fire Depart- ment) would be worth possibly $5 on the market, more than a score of human lives were sacrificed. Shortly after this splendid work was accom- by the two priests, and while all eyes turded toward the ihird floor dormitory, was an explosion which is thus tar unac- counted for, except on the theory that some close- confined room had me FILLED WITH INFLAMMABLE GAB, S n The dorm! was seen to suddenly ight up back of the wall ot faces, the floor seemed to heave, there was a great shower of s Ks that . to reach the —— * 3 ay +t Ay. 1 rom the 1 thou > 2 — into the earth, while they flame took possession of the entire room. So muen for the inside history of the fire. OUTSIDE. The first man to knew of the danger was August waichman at Harrison works, just west of the Institution, who saw flames in the base- ment at the rear of the west wing. It was he who hammered on the door of tile convent and called to the inmates, and then ran and telephoned an alarm to the Fire ga when Belleville has three fire companies, volunteer and crude in char- er, and method of summoning the firemen is to make a great clang with the fire bells. town has been singularly fortunate in the matter of blazes, and the engines are; very rarely usep, hence the work of getting them into oper- ation is a very siow one. More- over, re is no water service in that city, reliance being p laced on cisterns and wells. It te claimed that the engines were on the ground witbin fifteen minutes after the alarm was given, and if they were, they made an exceptionally ood record. If they got a stream to work within en minutes more it was more good work, and re- flects credit on the management under the pect- liar system which prevails there. Twenty min- utes without interruption, as the reader of any experience well knows, is about all that a St. Louis fire needs in which to destroy the buliding of its origin, and the size of the Belleville struct- ure was such as to bring it within city classification. With such a fire Belleville firemen do not have to contend once in ten years, and it is not strange that they did not accomplish auything towards saving the convent structure, wile it is a very good record for them that they prevented the flames from reaching the splendid Catholic church gust Over the way, on Race street. The work which should have demanded their chief attention, however, was that of taking those imperiled girls and women out of the tnird-story window, where they stood in full view, beseech- ing assistance, In this emergency the depart- ment was an utter failure. It owus one or two hook and ladder trucks, but it would appear that the idea of buying a ladder long enough to reach from the pavement Way up to a third-story window never entered the brain of the gentlemen who equipped the trucks. Their lau- ders were good, strong, fat ones, calculated to do good service when once gotten into place at a sec- ond-story opening, aud they left all above that to Providence. Half of Belleville was on the ground almost as soon as the department, and, as Is usual in such dreadful emergencies, men’s Wits seemed trozen. Asis unusual on such au occa- sion, however, there were no exceptions to THIS HUMILIATING RULE, except those already described, aud while men rushed around hunting for a three-story ladder which the town did not possess, nobouy seemed to think that a rope might have been thrown to the windows by which little ones could be low- ered, and nobody seemed to recouilect that if bed- ticks or mattresses or blankets were held in oly a position some of the imprisoned ones could dropped or could jump from that comparative- ly insiguificaut height to safety. Just one of our Pompier men, with no equipment but that which he carries when ou duty, would have readily saved those twenty-five or thirty lives. To describe the progress of the fire would be unprofitable, It marched around from the south end of the west wing to the front, then across the main structure to the east wing, then down that to the south end with impeded prog- ress, and by midnight the entire structure was in roins, while buried in the ruins were the corpses of twenty or twenty-five human beings. After that awful explosion which tore the floor out of the third floor dormitory, it was no longer a fight for human life. for death had taken possession, and it was thenceforward a question of property. THE SISTEKS’ STORY, Yesterday afternoon Father Ruesse of the Bt. Peter and Paul Church, on South Seventh street, to which is attached a parochial school in charge of the Sisters of Notre Dame, hac twelve of the sisters surviving the Belleville fire brought to St. Louis. The names of the twelve ladies are; Sister M. Canuta, Sister M. Gelasia, Sister M. Memrad, Sister M. Smaragda, Sister MM. Bonufilia, Sister M Rusa, Sister M. Nicola, Sister M. Ru- doiphia, Sister M. Adeltrudis, Sister M. Horten- sia, Sister M. Manireda and Sister M. Olava. A VOST-DISPATCH reporter called at the Convent attached tu the church of St. Peter and Paul for the purpose of learning the story of the dreadful casualty from oue of the survivers, but Sister Anastasia, Superioress of the Convent, stated thut they were all of them still suffering so greati fromthe nervous sbock sustained on Saturday night that she deemed it best to keep them as quiet as possible, and ior this reason she asked that the reporter’s request for an Interview should not be preksed. Sister Anastasia said that from accounts received by herself from these sis- ters the fire was not discovered for fully a half our alter it started. A large dog witch the sis- ters kept in the Convent yard was noticed to howl dismaliy but no attention was paid to the animal by any of the inmates of the house. A watchman ata neighboring factory heard the dog’s noise and investigated the premises. ile then discovered the smoke ana flames in the base- ment aud gave the alarm. Sister Anastasia de- clares it was fully one hour after the alarm had been given before the first fire engine reached the house. The fire started in the basement, being | cammunicated from one of the furnaces. These | furnaces have been in use ever since the convent Was oullt, twenty-five years ago. Sister Mary Jerome, the aged lady superior of the convent, Was the firstof the sisters to hear the alarm. She had remained up after all the | dormitory. | Senneider, Miss Fannie Brinker and Miss Daisy other inmates of her house had gone to bed, in or- | der to Ml the stocKings of the children for Sun- day, that day being the Feast of Epiphany. and is regarded as a sort of second Christmas. As soon as Sister Jerome realized the frightful peril of everybody in the convent, she rushea through the aormitories, commanding the assistant nuns to arouse and save the children. The house Sister impossibie to get down. stairs. Commending then performed a most heroic act window, and, alichting on the ground below, picked herself up uninjured and opened the main door of the building, thus affora- ing the only means of egress to the endangered sisters and children on the inside. When the firemen at length arrived, it was found that their ladders were too short to reach quite to the third story window. With great presence of mind Sister Meinrad, who was in charge of the dormitory where the smallest children slept, wrapped the littie ones in a bianket and passed them unharmed through the window to the firemen standing on the ladder beneath. Sister Anastasia states there is no doubt that Sister Jerome perished by fire. The remains sup- posed to be hers were identified by the sisters be- yond question, by her teeth and by the remnants of a red flannel chemise which she wore, ST. LOUIS VICTIMS. The following is a list of the St. Louis girls who were in the convent at the time of the fire: Name. Agnes Scating....... Mary Scaling EE ELL ST EN HE 15. r 7 SO SE ee een hate ] Mary Manning 18. Agnes an1 Mary Scaling were the daughters of Mr. Samuel Scaling, who resides at the north- west corner of Clark and Argyle avenues.” When Mr. Sealing heard of the horribie eatastrophe yes- terday morning, he secured a team of horses, and, wecompanied by Father Brennan of St. Malachi’s Chureh, and Mr. Mulhail, started for Belle- ville. Upon his arrival there his worst fears were realized, for it was discovered that both of his daughters had fallen a prey to the flames. Search was made among the ruins for their bodies, but of no avail. The beart- broken father was compelled to return to tne city last night, overwheltned with grief and sorrow, conscious that his children were lost to nim for- ever, but consoled with the thought that there were hopes of recovering their charred remains from the ruins to-day. Martha Mauntel resided at Carondelet. She is undoubtedly among those who perished in the flames, although her remains have uot yet been identified. Susie Weimar was the daughter of Mrs. Teets by ber first husband. The lady resided at 705 Chestnut street. Mr. and Mrs. Teets went to Belleville on au early train yesterday —1 * The ~ dg remains of the 0 rlwere recognized the step-father a the dead house by identifying a fracment of — clothing.

The search for the remaini missing bodies was not resumed this morning lafter 10 o’clock there being no one in Belleville who considered it his duty to commence the work. A few men finally descended to the basement and commenced digging away the debris under the dormitory, the work being painfully slow. About 11 o’clock the back bone of some unfortu- nate was found with afew remnants of burned fiesh clinging to it. Near the same locality a por- tion of a hand and a few bones from other parts of the body were recovered a iew minutes later. Another buack-bone and a few pieces of wearing apparel were found avout 12 o'clock, but nothing has yet been discov- ered by which the remains of either victim couid be identified. The force of laborers prosecuting the search for the missing ones continued to mereasse during the morning and at noon fifteen men were at work. Miss Dord who was reported saved last evening is now positively known to have perished. The wails of the building are in a most dungerous condition, cracked and tot tering n several places, but ho effort has been made to pull them down or render them secure. Marsbai Williams and a squad of police guard the premises all day, keep- n 17 crowd back from the dangerous walls. he scenes at the temporary ag | ge this morn- ing were pitiful in the extreme, the parents and relatives of the victims assembling in the little room in which the charred remains were laid on shutters, and giving vent to their feelings in silent weeping. Each corpse is identified by its relatives by a iittle card bearing its name written by a sister when taken from the ruins and identified. The bodies of Miss Susie Weimar of St. Louis aud Miss May Campbell of East St. Louls were taken in charge by relatives at noon to-day and taken to their respective des- tinations. The work was also pushed all day yesterday,and but fourteen bodies were recovered. At6 p. m. — it was discontinued until ll a. m. to ul. The Inquest. over the bodies of the victims of the Immaculate Conception fire commenced shortiy after 9 o’clock this morning. Sister Mary Magdalen was the first witness, and testified as follows: I was an inmate of the cGnvent; the fire commenced about 11 o’clock on the night of Jan. 5; I was in the sec- ond story of west wing of building at 11, and was awakenened from a light sleep by screams of fire. My impression is the fire originated from the furnace in the basement. When awakened I ran to the dormitory door, about seven or eight yards. and convinced myself the building Was on fire. Iran back to the sisters’ dormitory and told the sisters there surely was firé and to wet ready tw run. We tried to light a lantern to see the way to save the children in the convent, but the smoke extinguished it twice. I reiurved and finished dressing, and went through smoke to the east of the buliding to reach the boarders’ dormitory to bring them down to the basement to escape, but [was so choked by the smoke that I was obliged to support myself against the wall tofind my way, and in this way reached the boarders’ study-hall, which was free from smoke, owing to the doors having Deen closed: I stopped to regain breath, and then went tothe window and called for help from ve- low.

All who will cali to mi the terrible cold of Friday and Saturday can understand the ordeal the fire- men were compelled to go through. With the water freezing almost before it reached the flames, benumbing their fingers and incrusting their bodies with ice, and with the keen biting blasts freezing their faces, the performance of their duties became an exquisite torture. The re- suit was really pitiful. Tue men were taken to their homes with teet, hands, ears and faces frozen and their joints so stiffened that it was im- possible for them to move with any kind of ease. Owing to their frozen limbs and features the poor fellows had to Keep away from stoves alt day yes- terday and to-day, suffering in the meantime ter- ribiy from the constant ache and agony of the frost-bites. Many of them will lose the use of me of their fugers and toes, and it will be a long time before they recover entirely from their afflictions: The St. Louis department has a rep utation the world over for bravery, daring and endurance, and it will be a pleasant improvement on the regular order of things to praise heroes while they arealive, and reward them for the — manner in which they have performed their duties. te MOO e e e α e e N to SSSS8S888 888888888888 CHIEF SEXTON, who is now confined to his house from sickness brought ou bY the cold and the performance of his arduous duties Saturday night, was tnformed this afternoon that the PosT-DISPATOCR had start- ed a boom tor his firemen. He expressed himself as thoroughly r und when asked as to the best mauuer of the disposition of the moneys con- tributed, said that he could not say without thinking the matter over thoroughly. “I will probably de down town to-morrow,” said he “and by that time I will have thought of u good way to divide the fund petween all the men who were at the fire as rewards of merit. A great many of them are now without clothes, and this money will come in providentially to sup- ply them wit new warm clothes, rubber coats, etc., and fire hats. There is probably not one man who was at that fire who bas not only suffered from the effects of the cold, but who has had his clothes ruined by the ice.” The Chief has had his ears so badly frozen that he can only hear with difficulty. He said he would be out attending to his duties to- morrow. A Visit to the engine-houses this morning re- vealed the fact that all the men were on duty, though many of them were badly disfigured, BLUE EARS AND NOSES, blue chins and cheeks and swelled hands are the souvenirs the firemen bear of the long fight. One of thein said: Tue papers have failed to mention the name of one man who did more for ihe firemen than Agee | else. That man tis Dr. Rothsenild, the chiropodist He had a whole lot of some kind of liquid whion he furnisii- ed us as a preventive and cure of frost bites. Why he saved more than a hundred men from freezing. We used the stuff on our hands and face, and in u great many cases it kept off the frost. My arm was frozen from the Knuckles tothe elbow. It srew white first and then turned biue. I put othschild's patent annihilator ou and it burned | like fire for seren hours anda half. It was just like putting your arm in the fire, but it took all the frost out and 1 am ali right again.

A number of prominent gentlemen who were seen on the street to-day were enthusiastic in their praise of the firemen, and agreed to add to the subscription, so it is likely that in a few days the contributions will be larye to give each of the firemen a handsome reward for. bis attention to duty. 0 THE WATER FAMINE.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispateh, PHILADELPHIA, January 7.—Luke Clark, the best known Fenian in Pennsy!lvania, died yesterday at Dunmore and was buried to-day. Although more than 80 years old, his mind was unimpaired. He has taken a most conspicuous part in Irish revolutionary affairs for more than half a century, and was tried for treason and sentenced to death by the British Government many years ago. He managed to escape from prison, however, and came to this country. hen the Fenian agitation was at its heignt, he was one of the trusted lieutenants of James Stephens—a fact which led to the making of the charge, a few years ago, that he furnished the in- formation which led to the arrest of the Head Center. Clark defended himself promptly against the charge, and showed conclusively that it was unfounded, He be- lieved that Ireland could never be freed, ex- cept by physical force, and Was an ardent advocate of that doctrine. His principal possession was an old scrap-book which he carried about with him, and in which he kept bonds of the Irish republic and newspaper clippings.

McChesney is charged with attempted bribery, fraud and forgery respectively. Owing parti to the {act that Mr. McChesney bag, for some inscrutable reason, subpoenaed over a hundred good citizens, ostensibly tu behalf of the defense, partly to the fact that the ramifications of the MeChesney matters are so Interesting as to make the Cases atiractive tothe unsubpouaed public, and partly to the tact that the Grand Jury for this term was to be impadelea aud instructed, tue Crominal Court room was more than conuortably crowded at 10 oclock a. m.

When the Sun- day law Was “dowuea” oy the decision of Judge Noonan, the advocates of twe Sunday law were, of Course, powerless to appeal the case and ta Supreme Court decision ou it. It appears at some ofthe ftrieods of the cause, in this emeérpency, deviseu a very neat plan for reaching the Supreme Court, Which was as follsws: Toe Town Council of Florissant was to be persuaded to submm LO Lie voters the question as to whether liceuses sLouid be issued ior Sunday sale of wive and jursuant to the provisions of the law of 1857, aud in like manner as the City Council of St. Louis submitted the question to voters here im 1863.

It was 12:20 when, other business being cleared away,the Court announced itself ready to an- nounce its ruling on the demurrers in the Me- Chesney cases. His first ruling was upon the forgery indictment. He declares that a forgery need not necessarily create a moneyed obligation or effect a movey-injury: but that if it effects a cheat, and predjudices the rights of any man, regardless of their mon- eyea value. Alter a lengthy argument of a tech- ulcal character, not interesting to the general reader, the court overruled the demurrer and declared the indictment good in all of its counts. The demurrer to the ag | indictment was next considered. The court held that the de- murrer was good. as the offense W222 de charged was not properly pleaded. The Indie- ment failed to set forth that at the time the alleged bribe was offered, the Police Board was about to appoint a Chief of detectives, or that Mr. Kiukead was at that time n such a position that he would have the power to do officially that which the alleged bribe was to induce him to do. The indictment was there fore bad. The demurrer to the fraud“ indictment was declared to be without merit, and overruled, aud the case must go to trial on its merits. In short, the rulings were two for the State and one for the defense. : Judge Valliant stated that now that the fraud indictment was declared good, he desired to call for a bill of particulars, asking the court to make aruling requiring the State’s representatives to inform the defendant more specifically of the nat- ure of the offense alleged against bim. Judge Valilant said that the Charge of “fraud” was so vague, the indictment was so Darren of information as to what witnesses or what line of circumstances the defendant would dave to meet, that it was impossibie for him to PREPARE HIMSELF to meet the Issue. He had no disposition to delay the case, and would not ask for any further time than would be ne to the procurement of the information which defendant had a right to. Biiss and Kent, wearing a | Mr. Lodge sald that where “fraud” is e under the statute, a bill of culars such as was asked for could only be turnished by setting out the entire case forthe prosecution, the ef- fect of which course would be to defeat the very purposes that the law was framed to serve. The law was specially framed to give the State’s of- ficers protection in cases of his kind until such time as they were prepared to reveal what they had to offer. The inaictment charged Mr. McChesney with endeavoring to obtain money frum the Brewers’ Association by a trick which the statutes classify as a Hraud,“ and this was suflicient to * him on his guard and enabie bim to make a full defense. Mr. Thoroughman followed Mr. Lodge with an arguinent in support of Judge Valliant’s position, hoiding that the motion addressed itself to the sound discretion of the court, as there are no pre- cedents on this question. Judge Valliant held that the position of State’s Counsel was that of a party Wing ia ambush for Mr. McCnesney They new what the particular offense was which they proposed to rove against Mr. McChesney, aud the ends of Justice cone certainly not suffer by informing im of it, Judge Van Wagoner said that to rule that a bill of particulars must be given would be virtually to ruie that these matters should have been set forth in the indictment and the Court had already ruled on that point. Judge Valliant’s argument might very properly be addressed to the Supreme Court, whose decisions were a guide for this urt. Mr. Bliss Or to the Legislature that passed the law, your honor. Judge Van Wagoner—Yes, or to the Legislature that passed ibe law. I willtake this matter un- der advisement until after recess. After announcing its decision on law qnestions arising out of several other cases, the court took a recess at 1 o’clock until 2, defendant’s counsel announcing that it the court should overrule their last motion they would be ready to proceed with the trial immediately. A long discussion ensued, and at ite con- ciusion Judse Van Wagoner laid over the case until 10 a. m. to-morrow, after the eourt had overruled the demand fora bill of particulars of the fraud Case.

The severe weather and blockades by snow greatly interrupted treight traffic, especially from the West, and the consequence was light receipts of grain to-day.

Stock trainsare nearly all delayed by the intense cold weather of the past two days and the heavy snow now falling For that matter buy rs were also late in putting in an appearance and the number on hand prepared to trade could be counted on one baud. This, in counection with (he small supply, prevented any extensive trading and the morning’s business Was confined to small lots of less than a car load. Values remain very strong and in many instauees salesmen were hola- ing their stock even higher than on Friday, and those buyers who were obliged to have stock, were compelled to pay the figures asked or go without, salesmen baving the advantage in this respect. Still, as before remarked, the movement was very light for the reasons given above, and the transfers were of such a character as to be unworthy of special mention.

He found it in Maine villages where Prohibition is so idly enforced that the contraband stuff be smuggled in across lots after night- all. uton the whole he thinks Prohibi- is @ goodthing, because it isolates the drinkers and gives an old soak the pleasure of a secret, solitary drunk, free from the annoyance and expense of company. | — ———— — — Tun resignation of Judge McCrary of the U. S. Circuit Court has brought outa pretty general expression of newspaper i, ylews on the subject of increasing the sala- les of the Federal Judges.

L ox, * * 4 2 7 b + x * ‘yy =>. have both been taken from the bench ot this Cireuit within a few years by tempting of- of much larger salaries from railroad Asompanies, is an alarming indiation that dench is at present exposed to f nh. © 0 E 9 wht * oe * + » et > 2 re 4 St. Tonis Post-Dispatch. from which it should be protected, and protection most obvious and most generally suggested is a large increase of judicial sala- ry. On the other hand it is urged that such increase would make these positions prizes to excite the cupidity of office- seekers, and that as long as honora- ble and competent men are willing to accept them for the honor and the present com- ‘pensation there is no good reason for in- creasing the pay. Butifit is bad to make our judgeships great pecuniary prizes, it is certainly worse to make them mere stepping stones to the prizes the great corporations dangle continually before the eyes of bench and bar. The proper thing, it seems to us, would be to attach such compensation to a life position on the bench as would make it preferable toa much higher salary from a railway company for an uncertain or limited number of years. We should do something to prevent a recurrence of the scandalous spectacle of judges appointea for life leaving the highest judiciai positions to act as attorneys for the great corporations that are always before the courts with vast inter- ests in litigation. —— — BRAVE FELLOWS. The firemen of St. Louis have so often shown heroic courage and endurance that it seems superfluous to praise them, but the way in which they have responded to the demands made on them during the past three days calls for special mention. The ruins of the Fourth street fires have been visited by tens of thousands of the cit- izens of St. Louis. The spectacle was mag- nificent and attractive in its desolation. No splendor of the stage ever rivaled in glitter and briiliancy the fantastic frost-work of the spray on wall and cornice and in every outline and moulding of the buildings where the useless streams bad played. But the beauty of the scene was the least thing thonght of by the spectators. Every one who looked on that thrilling ev- idence of the intense and bitter cold thought at once of the hardships of the stout fellows who had fought the battle against the two enemies of cold and fire. Every heart was filled witha generous burst of admiration for the intrepid men who stood at their posts and faced their bitter duty while the same relentless cold that turned their streams to frost-work and icicles chilled and numbed their sturdy limbs and enveloped them in the saine coating of ice. St. Louis is honored by the heroism of these brave men, They are not rich, they do not boast of learning, but they set an example of simple duty whicn our wealthy and prominent men would do well to imi- tate. This city has many features of its so- cial and public life which leave much to be desired. There are many departments in which the prevailing idea is to get as much and to give as little as possible. But a city which can point to such an example of work well done, which can claim such a body of men as these plain firemen among her citi- zens, has much to be proud of. If we all did our duty as well as they do, the world would be as ready to praise us as we should be to praise our brave fire laddies.“ THE YEAR OF HORRORS. Last year was notable in the world's an- nals for the long and appalling record of dis- asters it presented. Hotel fires, shipwrecks and railroad accidents in the opening days of the year were supplemented later on by burning theaters, earthquakes and erup- tions, and two of the horrible events, the destruction of Casamicciola and the earth- quake in Java, were sufficiently destructive to take a permanent place among the great casualties in history. The first few days of the current-year in- dicate a continuance of the dreadful record. They go to prove that old father Time does not respect man’s calendar, that fate turns over no new leaf with the beginning of the new year, but continues his relentless course, marking his epochs in his own way. In this part of the world we have had more than our share already. Two destructive fires in St. Louis have been kept in countenance by fires in Cleveland and Chicago—a million dollars’ worth of property destroyed in two days in four oonflagrations. The loss of property, however, is of slight account compared with the more serious loss of lite. Within twenty-four hours the world heard with a thrill of sorrow of the burning of the convent in Belleville, of the jail in Jerseyville and of the railrvad accident which turned the mirth of the Yale Glee Club into mourning. This is a sad record to begin the year with, but it would be a mistake to suppose that it was any indication of further horrors or that the present year was destined to repeat the record of last year. All we can say is that the laws of nature will do their work, and that no special prcvidence will exempt either the pious nuns with their innocent wards in the convent walls or the criminals sleeping their last sleep in the cells of the burning jail. A DAISY IDEA, The people of New York have with singu- larenthusiasm and unanimity refused to put the BARTHOLDI statue on its feet, and the managers of the enterprise have called on St. Louis to immortalize itself by paying for the pedestal. An agent has visited St. Louis; he bas beguiled a dozen or two of our leading citizens into joining a committee, and we presume that the customary poor- boxes will be put up here and there to re. ceive the alms of our {generous subseribers. This isa happy thought. If thereis one thing which St. Louis yearns for just now it is for a pedestal forthe BartTHOLDI Colos- sus. We are now advertising for statues that need pedestals; we putting money in the banks to keep for j if the poor New York millionaires should be compelled to pay for their own pedestals. We are distressed to death because they paid for Cesnora’s little mud Venuses without giving us a chance to help them out. While we are about it we should like to help pay for the new granite wharves and the Brook- lyn bridge, and putup a few pedestals in Central Park. 8 The only thought that restrains us is the fear that we may be thought indelicate in thus rushing forward to prevent a painful exposure of the poverty of New York. They may not like it. Wall street and Fifth ave- nue may feel hurt. If this is the case we might as well letit alone, We would not under any circumstances bring the blush of shame to the cheek of the modest men of Gotham. THE RIGHT THING. The following communication speaks for itself: R. & W. GOLDSTEIN, 407 NORTH Fru Sr., ST. vis, January 7. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The severe ordeal which our brave firemen have passed through on the memorable nights of the 4th and Sth insts., and the bravery and heroism displayed by them in battling against the fierce elements, deserves some substantial recognition at the hands of our citizens. Lf it meets with your approbation, we would suggest a subscrip- tion list to be opened for their benefit, any funds so contributed to be sent to your office, and, after the same has reached a respectable sum, to be turned oyer to a committee consisting of our brave veteran, Chief Sexton, ana our City Treas- urer,to be apportioned by them as they may deem proper. Inclosed please find our check for $20 to start the boom. Should you not think it advisable to act as we suggested, you will please turn the inclosed amount over to the Firemen’s Relief Fund. Yours, truly, R. & W. GOLDSTEIN. We heartily approve of the suggestion, and shall be happy to receive any subscrip- tions for so worthy a purpose, For further particulars, see our local columns. BUCKNER’S BILL. There are two.legislative propositions about which there are not at present two opinions. One is that we do not want to continue the existing surplus. Another is that we do not want any tin- kering with the currency. Congressman BUCKNER’S bill, so far as we understand it, undertakes to disregard the unanimous public sentiment of the country on both these pointe. He proposes to introduce a new and unheard of kind of currency, which shall be issued by the United States Government, bear its stamp and authority, but which shall be legal tender only in special pay- | ments. And this new currency is to be issued on the idea that the existing surplus is to be indefinitely continued. - We have at present only six different de- } scriptions of currency—gold, silver,’ certifi- cates, trade dollars, legal tender notes and national bank notes. : We do not want a seventh kind, pagticucy. larly one that is money when the Govern- ment pays a clerk but not when the clerk pays the baker, one which is good when the distiller pays for stamps but not when he pays for corn. Above all things, we do not propose to go on keeping up taxation to raise a revenue we do not need. Mr. BUCKNER’s bill does not stand any chance of going through Congress. It does not even stand any chance of getting through his committee. It disproves the rumor that the Speaker had made Mr. BUCKNER give bonds for his good behavior, but at the same time it gives us cause to regret that the rumor was not true. Judicial Bribes. From the New York Worid. No doubt the salary of a Federal Circuit Judge is really insufficient We are quite willing that itshould be raised from the present amount. $6,000, to $10,000. The services of a lawyer fit to hold such a position are worth the larger sum. But the insufficiency of the salary ought not to be taken Into consideration in these cases. Judge McCrary sought the high ana honorable position he has resigned. He left the Cabinet to accept it. He made every effort to secure both the appoint- ment and coaurmation. When he did so he very well knew what the salary was and that the posi- tion was for life. Judge Dillon, his predecessor, sought and accepted the Judgeship with the same knowledge. If they could not live on the salaries they ought not to nave qesired the appointments. It was to be supposed that they were contented with the $6,000 and the honor and dignity of the life position. The example is pernicious. Ie it not human nature to seek openings to wealth? If one Unſted States Judge makes himself so acceptable or use- fultoa great railroad corporation as to secure from it an office so well paid as to induce the res- ignation of an honorable life position at a good salary, may not other United States Judges be temped to court the same profitable friendship? Are rallroad corporations so philanthropio and generous as to offer a man a fortune without re- ceiving any equivalent? Does not the first ten- der of arichly remunerated position in such a corporation to a United States Judge on the Bench approach very closely toa bribe? Might not a railroad corporation be as willing to pénsion as “counsel” a Judge whom it desired to get rid of as a Judge it desired to make tse of? Chandler and Spencer. Washington Special to the World. Spencer came into the department before he was released from the contempt case and took a seat at Chandler’s right hand. The Secretary re- ceived him very coldly, and, taking it for granted that he bad come to him to get help, said, Spen- cer, you shouldn’t come here to see me now. It is very indelicate of you, 1 can’t do anything for you and you ought to Know it. You should bave acted more prudently. You have gotteg your affairs all into a mess, and your Coming here to get my help is sure to provoke scandal, You know how the acts of public men are gcrytinized and made the subject of criticism.” Spencer listened to this sort of talk for apout five minutes and then spoke. “My God, Chandler!” he cried, “I didn’; come here to ask anything of you. I don’t; see why you should talk to me in this Way. Are you talk- ing for the benefit of the rest of the people in the room. * . C handler made some further remark about the ex-Senator’s lack of delicacy in calling upon 3 Cabinet officer when he was involved jn à scat- dalous trial, whereupon Spencer sprang to his feet and began to pound the desk. | “See here, Bill Chandler,“ he thi 1 used to run ten times the chance king & scandal when you were dancing ar 553 committee-room, agent at John Roach and Charles F. Secor, and in those days you were not much impressed with the fear of making a scandal. You had better take the advice of a friend and resign.” At this Spencer walked out of the room. How the Tariff Protects Labor, . From the Washington Post. The wages of nearly a thousand men in Roebling’s Wire Mills, at Trenton, N.d4 Bave been reducea 10 per cent. , The tube manufacturers ot Pittsbutg are obn- sidering a reduction of 10 per cent in the wages of their employes. 4 10 per cent reduction in tne wages of the miners of the Clearfield region of Pennsylvania went into effect on New Year’s Day. The Pioneer Silk Company, at Paterson, N. J., has reduced wages from #3 to about $24 day. The workmen are now on a strike. The operatives employed in the thread manu- factories at Newark and Kearny, N. J., have been informed that they will have to submit to a reduc- tion of 10 and 15 per cent. There is a strike in the Grinnell Cotton Mills at New Bedford, Mass., against a 10 per cent reduc- tion in the wages of the operatives. It is not a low tariff thatis bringing about this state of things, for we are still living under a high protective system; it is not the tariff revis- ion of last year, for that, we are told, hal not been well enough tested to enable a fair judg- ment of its merits; it is not the tariff legislation of the present Congress, for not a revenue reform bill has yet been introduced. POLITICAL DRIFT. PHILADELPRAIA Times: Mr. Tilden blushea to know that Dame Columbia knows this to be leap year. 0 THE greater part of the Democratic newspapers of Ohio favor Pendleton’s re-election to the Senate. PHILADELPHIA Times: Democracy’s guide- board for 1884 points with crooked finger toward Salt River. D. R. LOCKE (Nasby), after traveling in Maine, decides in favor of the efficacy of a prohibitory liquor law. TWENTY-FIVE States begin the year with Democratic Governors and thirteen with Repub- lican ones. MR. SaBIN, the new Chairman of the National Republican Committee, is said to have the Prest- dential fever. OHIO claims seven Senators and thirty-one Rep- resentatives of the present Congress as natives of the Buckeye State. CHICAGO HERALD: President Arthur has his coats made in London. Perhaps somebody wants to run this man for President now. CONGRESSMAN G. W. Cassipy, of Nevada, who is gaining prominence in the politics of the Pacific slope, is the editor of the Eureka Sentinel. ‘LET the Electrical College go,“ says the Phila- delphia Times. It has done much wrong, and it has nota single redeeming feature to plead for its continuance.” CHICAdo NEWS: The Democrats are still so suspicious of Benjamin F. Butler that they put him out-doors every night before going to bed just as if he were a cat. MR. FrYE of Maine proposes a new style of | campaigning for the coming Presidential election, He wants every Republican newspaper and stump speaker to holler“ murder! THE Logan literary bureau is responsible for this sentence: The soldier seen him in them days and now knows what Logan nas did for our Union.” Evidently the bureau is under the direct supervision of the old man himself. THE Manchester (N. H.) Union (Dem.) insists that that State is “an artificially Republican State.” The Concord Monitor (Rep.) calis te mind the fact that the Republicans have carried every State election there for twenty-seven years, with two exceptions. CONGRESSMAN JOHN §. WISE, who sneezes when Mr. Mahone takes snuff, to a New York York reporter yesterday: “President Arthur is generally admired by the people of Virginia ana I have not the least doubt that he will de the choice of Virginia in the National Convention.” CHICAGO Times: What with the revival of the greenback rag-baby by the Democrats, and the bloody shirt by the Republicans, politics will look like old times. Buckner and Bland are about to present the country with a rag-baby, and Kepub- lican organs generally are preparing to unfurl the bloody shirt. SENATOR JONAS, Of Louisiana, has been making notes on the prospects of the sugar interests of his State in the present Congress. He is confident that Mr. Morrison will defend the sugar tariff “on revenue principles.” He thinks that Mr. Mills of Texas, the active coadjutor of Mr. Morrison, will also favor retaining the sugar tax as a revenue measure. — MEN OF NOTE. Mn. HENRY VILLARD cannot sleep. Several investors who know him don’t sleep very sound. IKE MURPHY, the negro horse jockey, is said to be worth $60,000, and is the richest jockey in this country. EDWARD BACKUS, who failed at Chicago eight years ago and went to Brazil, has returned and paid bis debts. CARDINAL MCCLOSKEY’sS golden jubilee fund, for the erection of a marble pulpit in the Cathe- dral in New York, amounts to $10,000, ANDREW JACKSON was a great, but not a fair- minded, man. He put two f’s in “referenre” and allowed only one for “difficulty.” CARDINAL NEWMAN entered the Roman Catho- lic Chuech when he was 45 years old, and Cardinal Manning was a clergyman of the English Church until he was 43. BARNUM estimates his fortune at $10,000,900, but the genius who has devoted forty or fiity years of his life to circus. posters and advertise- ments is perhaps given a little to exaggeration. BARON TENNYSON’S Wealth in property is said to be between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000, and yet he chides his children when they blow the froth off their beer, charging them with willful waste. EX-CONGRESSMAN Rev. J. Hyatt Smite has resumed preaching. He is now the officiating politician of the East (Congregational Church in Brooklyn, a rival to the establishment to which he was attached before going to Congress. PRINCE PLESS, a good-looking and well-man- neréd young man of 23, has arrived in New York. He is not married, and expects to come to Phila- delphia and take u look around the country generally. He will bea very lucky young man if he isn’t often reminded that this is leap year. Groner F. A. HBALY, during a chat in New York, said: “When I was painting Prince Bis- marck I found him very grumpy.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YorK, January 7.—The WORLD says: “We certainly ao not belong to the protectionists. We demand revenue reform, embracing economy in ex penditure, restriction in tariff taxation, with incidental protection at the proper time when we can make it a practical gift to the people. We do not intend to fire in the air by agitating for a the- ory when we know thatit is impossible to put it into practice. We, certainly,are not for free trade. It is a mere theory the Democratic party does not believe, and which, if forced on the y even in seeming by foolish theorists, would utter- ly destroy Democratic hope of success.” THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: Mr. Buckner’s Dill ‘to pro- vent undue contraction of the currency’ which he proposés to introduce in the House to-day, has already called forth much criticism from able financiers. The measure is pronounced by many Representatives to be highly unconstitutional aud dangerous. This hardly goes to show that Mr. Carlisle knew whereof he spoke when he said that Mr. Buckner ‘would not make war on the national banking system or indulge in any crazy vagaries about the currency.’ If the chairman on Bankine and Currency ever made such a prom- ise to the Speak: rit must have been with an im- mense mental reservation.“ THE SUN. The Sun says: “The revised version of the gos- sip in regard to Miss Mary Anderson’s alleged be- trothal to fhe Duke of Portland represents the story to have been circulated for advertising pur- s. Perhaps the correction is worth about as much credence as the original yarn, but it should have arrived a little earlier for the sake of a Min- nesota paper, which has just explained that the real person engaged to be married to Miss Ander- son was a ‘Lieut. Dukes of Portland, Oregon.“ THE TIMES. The Times says: The Democratic papers have had a good deal to say lately about reform and about monopoly. They will shortly be called on to give an opinion in a contest between the repre- sentatives of the two. The Ohio Senatorship de- pends on precisely this issue. Mr. Pendleton stands for the former and Mr. Payne for the lat ter. Both are men against whose personal char- acter their enemies have nothing to say, both have more than ordinary ability. both have been in Congress, hade been looked upon as leaders, haye been aiscussed as possible Presidential can dates.

Chief Sexton and bis men had extinguished ven fires Saturday when, about 9 o’clock in the ening, au alarm from box 42 called three en- nes to the corner of Fourth and Locust streets. This alarm was followed by a second inside of en minutes, and in an hour by a general alarm. rhe fire was in the heart of the business block lo- ted between Vine and Locust streets on Fourth, pecupied by the Goodyear Rubber Company, Bur- i, Comstock & Co., Merrick, Walsh & Phelps vitumar.

It was at twenty minutes to @ that be first sus- pected the presence ofafirein the building, the jor of smoke having assailed lis nostrils. He efi bis desk and reached the dimiy-lighted store- som for the cause of the odor. A jet of smoke rom a cellar natchway attracted his attention, and be immediately ran downstairs, where he saw a viaze among some Chairs in a far corner. Ne communicated his knowledge to Officer Veihle, who was outside, and the officer turned on an alarm. Following the three engines that arrived almost tustantly were Chiet Sexton and his assisi- ant, Lindsay. The Chief could discover no flame, but smoke was coming up in unttle clouds through the irou gratings ou the sidewalk. The GRATINGS WERE TORN OUT, and a stream of water turned into the cellar. While this was being done the store-room filled up with smoke, which, when the firemen essayed to enter, Was 80 thick as to drive them back choked. No flame was visible, and it was impossible to learn just where the smoke originated. In this manner the fire slowly crew. For ap hour poth- ing but smoke was secn, and the buliding became permeated with it, It poured from every openin the building, from upper windows aud roof, and worried Chie! Sextou to a great degree, for he knew that as soon as a current of alr would reach the fimes the whole building would ge.

While tne fire was in progress a panle was caused among the firemen by an almost incessant ringing of alarms, For a time it seemed as if the whole city were ou fire. This caused the chiel to ielegraph the Cincinnati and Chicago de- partinents for assistance, as the force here is in very bad condition. The fires for which these alarms were sounded were iu all cases insignifi- cant. The principal one was at THE PEOPLE'S THEATER, and its existence Was Only notable in that it dem- onstrated that the theater is admirably arranged In case of fire, A panic was prevented by a quiet announcement from the stage that a little biaze had vecurred in the laboratory of the drug store hex! to the entrance, and a request that “the au- dience would walk out slowly.

PRESIDENT EWALD’S REPORT On Matters of Interest to the Exchange During the Past Year. The report of President J. C. Ewald for the Board of Directors of the Merchants’ Exchange has just been issued, and is a doc- ument replete with interesting matter to the members. The exchange is congratulated upon its gratifying financial condition, the report of the treasurer showing that after all obli- gations were satisfied and trausferring $20,- 000 to the reserve fund, there is a balance on hand of $3,252 60. The reserve fund consists of $307,150 of U. S. 4 per cent bonds, averag- ing 116%, equal to $358,590 46; $6,000 of first mortgage bonds of the Chamber of Com- merce Association, and cash $26,362 42; a total of $390,952 88. At the last meeting of the board the annual assessment for 1584 was placed at twenty dollars, The organi- zation of the system of grain registration aid weighing is alluded to, its satisfactory workings aud the gved it has done shown, and the hope expressed that its successful operations will obviate any necessity of the Missouri or Iilinois Legislatures taking any action tuward controliing elevators by State laws. The Gen. Diaz reception, its pieasaut episodes and the prontable resuits, as shown by the Chihuahua visitors later in the year, is next shown, The progress of the work on Mississippi River improvement with the Washington Conventivn, to be held on Feb- ruary 5, for the purpose of impressing Con- gress with the importance of this measure, is fully considered. The question of nember- ships, the late revision of the rules, superior- ity of the St. Louis grades of wheat, resigna- tion of Chas. E. Siaybaek [row the directo- ry, the increased telegraphic facilities of the Exchange and other important matters that cume before the Exchange during the past year are ail touched upon or receive a good share of attention. Among the most interesting and satisfactory reports is that on the legal business of the Ex- change. ‘The decision of the Supreme Court of the State in favor of the Exchange in the Goddard case not alone terminated this case, but as a precedent established the right of the Exchange to make reasonable changes in its rules from time to time, aud its power to discipline a member refusing to conform in his dealings on the Exchauge floor to tuese rules. Ihe legal report Winds up by stating that, apart from the membership cases in which the Exchange is a nominal party, al! the litigation of tue Exchange, including that pending for several years past, both in this State and concluded. 2 ackuowledgwents are made to George H. Morgan, secretary and treasurer, “ior his cheeriul and uitiring de- votion to his duties,” and also to his efficient corps of clerks. Ihe report of the treasurer follows. In this is shown a cash balance on January 1, 1884, of $11,884 54; receipts from various sources for the year or $81,404 60, in- cluding $71,380 from assessment dues, and expenditures for the year of $70,236 54, vi which $25,000 was for rent, $19,221 for sala- ries, and $8,574 68 for telegraph service.

The Dedadence of New Year Call- ing and Reflections on Its Absurdities, The War on Low Neck Dresses—Henry Vil- lard’s Rise and Fall. Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. New York, January 3.—The bolidays are over and most of us are glad of it. Those of us who made “good resolutions” on turning over a new leaf in the book of life are already beginning to break them or to chafe and fret over self-imposed restraint. I have known men who sincerely looked forward to giving up, with the New Year, cigars, or wranay, or absinthe; to rising earlier or going to bea earlier; to reading more and idling less, oF to retrenching expenditures. If an of these men were asked why they walted until the New Year to be wiser, it is ten to one they could not tell. The fact is, I think, that these men ex- pect their resolutions to gain strength from the new year, they think it will be easier to begin wiih the year’s beginning, Towards the end of January they begin to wonder that, though years may come and years May go, habit runs on for- ever. WHAT A HOLLOW MOCKERY the observauce of New Year's day hospitality has become. The old Knickerbocker custom of New Year's calls, after much disreputable abuse, is fast falline to decay. And to a mere looker-on in Gotham like myself it seems that the decadence is not to be regretted. Originally a delightfwW medium for the exchange of handshakes aud cor- dial good wishes between fmends and neigh- burs on the threshoid of the new year, these calls have grown to be an unmitigated nuisance to everybody, On the one hand, the women, especially In houses con- taining marriageable daughters, feel it hucumbent on themto deck themselves in their best and tand or sit on dress parade not for an hour or two, but for twelve or fourteen hours. To shake hands. not with their friends alone, but with scores of people they never saw defore and will To repeat over aod over again the same inonotonous commonplaces and to sale and smile, hougu they be wretched at beart. The men, on the other hand, start out in fair or foul weather, be they rich or poor, happy or mis erable, with sickening smilgs. Golng in pairs or ja Quartets to save hack hire, the visiting list of each is nearly doubled or quadrupied. At perhaps halt a dozen houses they have acquaintances in common, These exhausted, each insisis ou lugging his companions around to the houses cf all his individual acquaintances. It will be perceived, therelure, that the young mau who Dbousts of haviug made 90 or 190 calls must pot be supposed to have a veritable host of friends deeply iuterested in his future. Nor are we to presume that the young lady who tells you tuat she received over 200 Calls is eagerly sought by RATALLIONS OF ARDENT SWAINS. As a purely plilosepbical study, of course, I went out into the ram and darkness and made a few calls. Determined not to lay myself a sacri- tice on the social altar, I yet could nut forego the opportunity to drop iu and bask in the smiles OL two or three very dear old friends in Illinois, has been finally | wiile calliog up reminiscences of the days fifteen or tweniy years ago when their bright glances pierced my heart. Alas! in a daughter of one of these dear old flames I found one of the charming young Victims Il have mentioued. The hour was midnight and I pitied her as, pale and weary, she wished me a happy New Year, at the same tine trying to stifle a yawn. “The night is dreary,” I sald, “and i'm aweary,”’ said she, “Rut ‘he cometh with a vengeance’,” I re- marked, looking at a small mountain of paste- beard of the card-stand, 3 “One hundred aud seventy-six is the exact number, I believe,” she said with a serious air. Then with an assumption of gaiety, Won't you uu ven glass of wine, Mr. Squareman? or @ sand- wich? Nw? Shall I play you se a seating herself at the planv. 1 lied her again and departed, taking as many of the lingerers as 1 could with me. The day nad been a dull one— dark, wet and dismal. At the clubs men lounged about and smoked in taciturnity. I could not settle duwn tuo reading at home, and on running down town i found everything as quict and dull as elsewhere. The glitter of gas-lighi, the sounds of music and the sight of lovely women had cheered me for the moment. Nuw, asl wended my way through the rain and darkness to- wards the filekering shadows of the square, I unconsciously likened my fair young friend to the fat girl in a dime museum, sitiing or standing, smiling and “looking pretty“ to the public gaze hour utter hour. Yet, atter ail the fat girl is not called upon to talk so much, and has more frequeut periods of relaxation. THE WAR ON LOW-NECKED DRESSES is beginning to produce good effect already, hanke to the pluck, persistence and commun sense of the recent infusion of Western blood into metropolitan journalism. I am tod that the corsace decollete Was a custom more honored in the breach than in the observance in New Year's Day tolleties. To say nothing of the indelicacy— not to say indecency—ol these exbibitious of the person in fashionabie life, they are seriously injurious to heath in this climate, More than one young woman has sown the seeds of consumption by the certain exposure to colds in low-necked dresses at dinners, balls. the theater or the opera. It ts a fashion which shows even more plainly than the silly parade of crests and coats Oi arms the hold which the Eu- glish manners and Eagiish assumption bas taken upon our shoddy “snobocracy.” For its continu- ance, even in Eagland, Queen Victoria is directly responsible. Wien young, her majesty had a really veautiful bust, whici she was ſuordinately vain of. Her vanity, as a matter of course, out- lasted the beauty of her neck and bosom. She strengthened toe custom—set at the English court by Nell Gwyune—ol wearing low-necked dresses, and made it a rule of court etiquette that ladies should appear at her draw lng-roomis with wuncoyered shoulders. Some of your readers may remember how the Queen snubbed poor Jenny Lind (a name more familiar than Mrs. Goidsmid), afew years ago, when the dear oid lauy, feariug the result of ex- posure to the daughter of the palace and the chill- dampness of the Streets, dared to appear before Her Majesty with covered shoulders. It nas been remarked that After every “drawing-room,” asthe royal receptions are called, one finds the pavement covered wiih straw to drown the noise of passing velicies in the fashionable streets around Hyde Park and St. James’, and the doc- tors and apothecaries reap a perfect harvest, while the undertaker chuckles with pleasant an- ticipation. It would be interesting fn a statisti- cal point of view io Kuow for what percentage of the London mortality low-necked dresses at the Queen's drawing-rovus are directly responsible. THE DOWNFALL OF HENRY VILLARD is the talk of the town. His chiet career as a specniator, a stock and bond manip- ulator and last, but not least, a rallway mag- nate,’ is the most shining example of meteoric success in Wall street thu. we have had in a long time. He went up lke a rocket and has coms down hke a Stick. 1 remember well the begin- 8 of the Oregon“ mantpulslons which resulted in his getting contro et the Northern Pacific. That he has brains aud great cannot be doubted. Of a na ture, his ambition outstripped his durance. 1 ahgad to the granary of the Northwest’ be bad pictured such giowing colors, should test the earryi a. pacity of the Northern Pacific, he apent mney witha prodigal liberality. His management was extravagant in the exireme, aud he counted ge Cost too great to advertise the North- ern Pacific road, and the Northern Pacifie country. Headvertised on a magnificent scale and just now it looks very much as if he had PAID TOO MUCH FOR KIs WHISTLE. Of the cost of the famous transcontinental pic- nic of lust summer few can even yet form an adequate conception. The traveling expenses of neariy one hundred guests from Europe, hotel bills, dinners, wine, - transportation across the continent aud back again, etc., we all know must have cost a pretty pehuy. Nobody dut Villard can tell how much the “pubiic enthusi- asm“ at every 3 ae place in the Northwest the triumphal arches aud the monster special Northern Pacific editions of Northwestern papers cost directly and indirectly. Five years azo VII- lard had ilttle or no money. During a trip to the Northwest he bad noted the slow progress made by the Northern Pacific, and the advantages to be gaived by a Consolidation of the Oregon Steam- ship Company with a short railway whieh might be fiuished in time to intercept much of the busi- ness which the Northern Pacitic was striving for and be a formidable rival to that company. Com. ing East he found that the ships of the Oregon Steumship Company were heavily mortgaged to Roger Starbuck, an ola and well-Known ship bro- ker in this chy. Heat once joined forces with Siurbuck, the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company was formed and floated. I well remem- ber with what mystery itwas whispered around the street that O.

New York, January 7.— The stallion ta- bles which for the last few years have been such a prominent feature of “Krik’s Guide to the Turf,” are now so well advanced that the compiler is able to present to the public the following as the six highest in the list: " Zz Q 8 STALLION. ** puedes Seu 8 „ese JO en SOUTL Nille.

It will thus be seen that five of the six horses are rain at the top of the lust, with Kine Alfonso 8 the ysition in 1883 occupied by War Dance in 1882. Scarce- lva winter passes without some question arising in England tooccupy the attention of breeders, owners and others inter- ested in the turf. In turn, the American in- yasion, as it was called and the deteriora- tion of the English thoroughbred were dis- cussed. This winter the subject of Arabian horses and their value in the stud is being ‘The question arises au announcement made by the pecker club for a race at Newmarket by Arabians, for which the conditions are much wore liberal than usually accorded to Euglisn breeders and owners. ‘The announced conditions are as follows: (Entries close April 1) sweepstakes of 25 sovereigns each with 300 added,200 by the Jockey Club and 100 by W.

Sgr. para sour, | Manager Spalding on the Situation. Manager A. G. Spalding of the Chicago Club, with his partner, Mr. W. T. Brown, arrived in town this morning and was found 8 VA! in one of the sample apartments of the Lin- dell arranging several large tables with lines of fishing rods and other sporting goods, Mr. Spalding stated to the Post-DIsPaTcH rep- resentative that fishing could be better done with an axe at present than with any other implement, and then proceeded to give the scribe a detailed account of what had been done in the case of Larry Corcoran, which is the all-absorbing theme in base-bail circles at present. ‘Yes,” he replied to the first question, “Corcoran has sigued a regular contract, and will play with the Chicago League Club next season; thatis final and determined. You see, «we have a special rule in the League constitution which compels a player to 120 a regular League contract within thirty days of having accepted an offer from a club by mali or teiegraph. Corcoran’s time was up yesterday, andif he had not signed he would have certainly been expelled, You see his case Was not under the reserve rule at all, but under an accepted offer, which was valid, and under which he could have been held by common law. He was offered by me $2,100 and $400 advance, and he ac- cepted the same. Contract and money were forwarded, when his telegram came in that he had signed with Henderson’s Union Ciub, and telling me not to send the contract or the money. I need not recount what has ened since.” “Well, how in regard to Corcoran’s latest move!“ “Well, Anson was in Philadelphia and I wrote him to the effect that I wished to give Corcoran all the benefits of our rules, and Suggested that he go over to Newark and see him; not to offer him $2,100 05, but stick to the original offer; to inform him that his time was up January 6, and that he surely would be expelled it he did not affix bis naine to the reguiar League contract. I re- ceived an answer from Anson Saturday. Corcoran has signed a full contract. Send on $400,” and that about settles it.” “What are the prospects in Chicago?“ “Splendid. Wewill have a big season, and our losing the championship will make it more interesting. Winning it right along has becoine rather monotonous, and this raises the hill somewhat.“ In regard to the reserve rule, Mr. Spal- ding said that while in the abstract it looked like absolute slavery, thatit was an es- sential aud has been the salvation of base. ball. He said in regard to the new union movement, that their relations with the Henderson Club had been amicable, with the exception of the Corcoran trouble, and that they would not stand. In the mean- time the Union Clubs had a tremendons con- tract on hand, and he expressed the opinion very freely that Corcorah's move would also affect Messrs. Shatter, Duniap and other gue players who have offended against the reserve rule. Diamond Chips.

The Post-Dispatcn did not give credit to the Philadelphia Sporting Life, from which it was taken, while the Globe- Democrat headed it “Special to the Globe- Democrat.” In the meantime it is in place to remark thai this column is being edited for Post-DisPAtrcu readers, and it does not follow that anything in the Glope-Demo- t's columns is equivalent to its being seen. ie clipping was not a news item, but good reading at any time.

CONGRESSMAN BURNES Chats on the Tariff, the Working Man and Other G iestions. Col. James. N. Burnes, the statesman and Congressman from the northwest end of the State, was holding @ reunion with ex-Gov. Brokmeyer, who is just up from the Indian Territory, at the Southern this morning, when a reporter walked into his room. Ex- Gov. Brokmeyer was instilling into the mind of his statesman friend the evils and injus- tice of protection, to which the Colonel was listening attentively. I have a bill or rather resolution which I should have introduced to-day if 1 had been in Washington, and which I shall introduce at the first oppor- tunity. It calls for a schedule of the tariff assessed on all articles which are consumed by the laboring people in their daily life. It is a shame that poor workingmen should be compelled to pay the same tax on articles of food and clothing as rich men. We must strike at this first and then we can consider other protected articles. 1 think this resolution will meet with the approval of Morrison and the Ways and Means Committee.”’ } “What do you think isthe temper of Con- gress on the tariff question?“ asked the re- porter. 2 ag “There is considerable timidity among the members, although there is a strong inclina- tion to touch the tariff question. I think, undoubtedly, some measure which will im- prove the condition of things will be passed.” Col. Burnes says the people of his part of the State are looking anxiously for a good candidate for Governor, aud have not hit upon any in the ficid as yet. On the Presi- dential question he says. the impression pre- vails in Washington that Mr. Tilden can have the Democratic nomination by accla- mation if be wants it, but with him out of the field Morrison loonis up.

Except a report that Adolphus Busch had refused to accept the vice-presidency on the Gaennie ticket,there was nothing particular- ly new to-day regarding the coming election on Change. Both sides are working hard for the success of their respective tickets, but the Francis men appear just now to have the most confidence. They are making no idle boasts and are putting forth their best efforts toward a successful result, but they have the calm, confident air that proclaims an easy mind and an absence of any fear as to the election, 80 far as their candidates are concerned. It was reported on the floor this morning that the Executive Committee of the Gaiennie ticket had received acommunication from Adol- phus Busch, in wiich he positively declined the nomination of the vice-presidency on this ticket. Mr. E. B. Kirby, chairman of the committee, was seen, but would not ad- mit that Mr. Busch had declined the nomiua- tion. Said Mr. Kirby: “Mr, Wahl and a committee waited upon Mr. Busch and we have not yet heard from them. If Mr. Busch declines we have other ood men to draw upon for the position. The Executive Committee meets this afternoon to fill any vacancies that may occur.“ A member positively stated to this reporter that he had seen Mr. Busch’s letter of dec. lination. The meeting this afternoon wil! fill this vacancy. — — THE cheapest and best house in the city to buy a fine diamond, fine watch or other jewelry. War- ranted as represented. B. WALKER, Fourth and Olive sts. THE JANUARY JURY Selected by Judge Van Wagoner for the Grand Inquest, The Grand Jury for the January term of the Criminal Court were selected by Judge Van Wagoner, this morning, from the list furnished by the Jury Commissioner. ‘Tne following gentlemen compose the body: John G. Priest, foreman; R. E. Carr, W. D. Price, James T. Sands, H. C. Haarstick, J. W. Donaldson, Theo. Tamm, S. D. Porter, J. H. MeCluney, C. H. Campfield, Hu " ton Smith and Francis Ringling. When n jury had been selected, Judge Van Wagoner referred to the statutes which must be called to the attention of each grand jury. Among the subjects referred to by statute are the protection of fish and game, law partners appearing for State and defense in the same case, dramshops, and the secrecy that should surround the investigation. Among other matters the court instructed the Grand Jury to investigate all offices where the occupants are intrusted with pub- lic funds, a duty which devolves on one Grand Jury each year. The court said he knew of no especial matters which required investigation. He warned them against sen- sationalism and urged that their opinions and conclusions come in the form of true and ignored bills. Sensational reports with wild “maybes” and “probablys” did no good to the public, and did not serve to fur- ther the interests of justice any, while it needlessly stained private characters. Hav- ing warned the this danger jury from the court permitted them to wi their quarters, * * A HUSBAND'S HUNT. After His Wife, Who Eloped with a Methodist Clergyman. How Two Families Were Broken Up to Form a Third—Searching the City for the Missing Couple. Ellery J. Walters of Effingham County, III., called on the Chief of Police to-day to secure the services of a detective in hunting up his faithless wife and a Methodist minls- tor, over whose prospective “jailing” the complainant seemed well pleased. The facts of the case as related by Walters are as fol- lows: Five years ago he married a widow lady, the mother of a boy of six years’ old. He exhibitea a 3 of the lady in question, in which she was seated in a motherly manner, with a chila of 3 years on one knee and a babe on the other. These children, Mr. Walters explained, were his. About two years ago they moved to Al- tamont, and began n under the same roof with Rev. George W. oung, who was also known as Mr. Owens. Shortly aft- er this arrangement went into effect, Walters thought that Rev. Mr. Young was paying too many attentions to Mra, Walters. e called a meeting of the two households one day, and, in the presence of Mrs, Young and Mrs. Walters, he informed Mr. — that he was expected to be less generous in his atientions or trouble would ensue. Peace reigned again, but only for a few weeks, when Waiters left his wife without fear of a successful prosecution for wife abandon- ment. ‘This occurred last May, since which time Waiters has not lived with his wife. A few weeks agoa reconciliation took place and Walters made preparations for removing his family out of the reach of * charms, which had seriously affected his happiness. He went to Mattoon, where he rented a house on the 20th ult., expecting his wife to follow on the ist. He waitea, but she did not follow, and, on going back to Altamont, he discovered that she had ELOPED WITH THE REVEREND GENTLEMAN who had éxercised such a decided influence over her. His house was as empty as a de- serted barn, but with one of his neighbors he left the one of his children which his wife had not taken with 7 3 At the Kev Mr. Young’s house he found M. Young in a delicate condition and almost prostrated with grief. Her husband had taken all the money in the house and left her in almost destitute circumstances. She could furnish no clew to the whereabouts of the couple. The eloping party consisted of Rev. Mr. Young, a muldle-aged clergyman who wears long chin whiskers and a mustache, Mrs. Walters, a lady of 33 years, and not by any means beautiful; a 12-year old son of Mrs. Young and a 12-year oid son of Mrs. Walters by a former marriage, and Ellery Walter's second child, a baby in its mother’s arms. At the station at Aitamont Walters procured a copy of the freizht bill, and with this traced the run-away family to East St. Louis. By means of a photograph he identified the par- ties who were recoguized by the attaches of the Relay Depot as the same family seen about the Relay on last Friday. Ile traced the furniture to the Ohio aud Mississippi depot, where it was shipped to deceiste the husband. The furniture was removed from the depot to this city, and in following up this clew he arrived this morning.

She has Indian blood in her veins and will represent the Cherokee Nation in Washington society this winter. The Peach Crop Killed. Norman G. Colman of the Rural Col. World was reviewing the agricultural out- look at his sanctum this morning, and he was very despondent at the peach prospect. “The severe frost will kill all the peaches in this locality, and there will be none in Ilinois or Missouri the coming season; this will be a blow to fruit growers, who suffered very badly last yearin the same way, and calculated on a big crop next year. Fruit in general will suffer, and peaches being of a very susceptibie nature, will feel the frost more than any other. Our peaches next year will have to come from a distance, aud we will have to pay well for them.“ Col. Colman said that as yet it was too early for general repurts from his provincial correspondents, but he expected rather dis- couraging intelligence in the next weeks. pe “Buchu-paiba,,’ great kidney and urinary cure. gl Anthony & Kuhn’s Sole Assignee, Last week Judge Adams decided that Messrs.

About four weeks ago Mr.Gaty was strick- en down with paralysis and he has been con- fined to his home ever since, but the applica- tlon above mentioned is the first notice that Mr. Gaty’s mental condition is unsound. — Schulte’s Bad Language. Judge Tnayer this morning granted two decrees of divorce to the plaintiff in the case of Thomas J. Elvy va. Rose Elvy and to the plaintiff in the case of Louise Schulte vs. Alex. H. Schulte.

The action of Mayor Ewing in ordering a large invoice of new hose to meet the emergency presente d by the blizzard and its attendant disasters looks like a simple enough thing. but nevertheless it required a deal of nerve on the part of his Honor. The order is made absolutely without authority of law, and in making it Mayor Ewing be- comes personally responsibie for the bill in- curred. It is reasonable to presume that the Municipal Assembly will indorse his public- spirited course by making an appropriation to protect him in the liability he assumes, bul the Municipal Assembly does not always do what is reasovably expected of it, especially when one of its Houses has been at loggerheads with the Mayor for several months.

A Row ein the Parisian Romance Com- pany—Why Mr. Outram Fought Mr. Mansfield—Details ofthe Melee—Who was Knocked Ont. , A seene not on the bill of the play was enacted by the leading men of the “Parisian Ro- mance” Company, now at the People’s in Louisville, ast week, to which the denouement bas just been reached. It was all on account of the word “bloody,” but has been Tor- tunately bloodless so far. Mr. Richard Mans- field, who has made considerable reputation, and is now starring in the character of Baron Chevrial, and Mr. Leonard 8. Outram, who plays the lead- ing character ot Henri de Turgy. had a go-as-you- lease catch-fAt-catch-can slugging Match atthe uisville Hotel one evenin last week, in consequence of which r. Outram is no longer connected with the company. The story as told by both combatants is about this: A party consistiug of a few members of the com- pany, among whom were the two gentlemen named, Mrs. Sol Smith, jr., Miss May Brookyn and Miss Jessie Glassford, were seated at the hotel ordinary taking alate supper after a per- furmance. The party appeared in good humor, and professional jokes were bouncing back aud forth in a waythat was particularly lively ana delightful. The flow of soul was unchecked ana assed around with more material viands. r. Mansfield, who sometimes relaxes the strain on his genius by plavful sallies and inroads on a STOCK OF FUNNY STORIES, narrated one about an actor who had made a tremendous hit by substituting the word “bloedy’’ for “gory” in a well-known quotation from Shakspeare; intact, Mr. Mansfield, with the abandon whieh characterizes the French baron. distinctly saia bloody locks” instead of the more delicate term. A perceptivie shock went round the board when the full force of this vulgar word struck the sensitive auricular organs of the ladies, and Miss Breokyn especially felt that her proper sense of what was due the so- ciety of ladies had been distinctly lacerated. She remonstrated with Mr. Mansfleld aud remarked gently, but firmly, “Don’t use that word.” The bud Word nad been used, and Mr. Mansheld, in- stead of immediately proffering an humble apol- ogy for the same, laughed at the lady’s objections and implied that she was too squeamish, with sundry other remarks, indicating that he did not realize . the full extent of his offense. The lady’s indignation Increasea at this treatment and Mr. Outram as a particular friend of Mrs. Smith aud Miss Brookyn felt that his delleate sensibilities had been sympatlietically torn and as became a representative of chivalry gallantly came to the relief of beauty in distress. At any rate, he protested against Mr. Mansfield’s conduct. From tbis point two versions are eatant. One is that Mr. Mausfield told Mr. Outram to shut up or he wonld panes his head, or words to that effect, and that Mr. Outram asked nim to try it on, at which Mr. Mansfield punched Mr. Outraai’s head at once and severally both in the upper room and in the hall, until he was dragged off by friends. An- other is that Mr. Outram requestea Mr. Maus- field to step out and had lent him the assistance Of his boot in passing through the door, aud bad proceeded to punch Mr. Mausfield’s head. However this may be, there was war in the company, and MANAGER HAMILTON immediately diseharged Outram; bt. as he 10 law to get his salary at once, proceeded the dischargea was removed and he Was ordered to accompany the troupe to this city. punch Mr. Mansfield’s head. Miss Brookyn, who at first declared that she could never no, never, go on the stage again with Mr. Mansfield, was mollified by an apology from that gentleman. The com- pany came on to this city yesterday but the cloud of woe still hovers over it, for Mr. Outram did not appear in the performance last night, and Mr. Hamniton says his connection with the company has been finally severed. Mr. Outram is only waiting his salary due and to come, for his two weeks’ huotice, according to contract, MR. OUTRAM was seen at the Planters’ House to-day. He was inclined to pose as the victor in the affray. He declared that, altuough Mr. Mansfield’s avillty is undoubted, yet he has been in the habit of telling uestionable stories and of throwing out losinua- tions and inuendoes in the presence of Indies. and that this had gone to an extent that was un- endurable dy either the ladies or gentlemen of the party. His conduct on the occasion in ques- tion was very rude, and his own position had been forced upon him asa gentieman. He was pound to protect tne ladies from ina- sult. As far as that goes there was not a gentleman in the company, who, forthe same reason, was not itching for an opportunity to The glory of dolng so nad come to him by chance and be would bear the honors as modestiy as pussibie, As tor the assertion of Mr. Mans- neid that his head had been punched that was absurd. His own unscathed face was proof to the contrary, while the wounds on his hands showed the damage that bad, or ought to have been done his oppenent. He did not pose as a slugger or brawler. If he had been thrashed even, the sympathies of the public would be with him as the protector of the fair. Mr. Outram is 4a rather handsome young man with ‘a fair physique. A few scarcely per- ceptible scratches were found on his hands. MR. MANSFIELD, who looks like a well-dressed collegian, was also seen. He said that he was very sorry that he had deen dragged into the affair on account of his position, but it was una- voldable. Mr. Outram had been postng as a eavalier and critique of good manners. and as such nad become unbearable. On this special be- cysion he (Mr. Mansfield) haa offered to punch his head, and had done so to his own great satisfac- tion. As to the charge that he was uogentleman- lvin his conduct, bis own character and posi- tion in society, at Boston and elsewhere, refuted such charges. They were absurd. The word referred to he had used thoughtiessly as conveying nothing offensive to anyone. As for the naht, Mr. Mansfield said he did not wish to be considered a fighter, but he was able to take eare of himself, ie was an oursman, a college man and was up tricks. On his invitation the reporter feit his muscle and passed judgment on it. Mr. Mansfield thought Mr. Outrama thorough cad and the company well rid of him. The reporter sent up his card to the ladies, but Mrs. Smith was sick, Miss Brookyn Was extremely uuwell and Miss Glassford was “not at home.” Mr. Mansfield declared also that Mr. Outram had veen so offensive in the matter in giving false and grossly exaggerated reports tothe papers that he had thought of porse-whipping him, but had changed bis mind, as he could not afford to lower himself so. The re- porter failed to find any evidences of punching on his countenanee, but faiied to do so, on the other hand, he said be had handled his enemy with one hand 80 easily that it Was mere play. to Jefferson City.

The man w Viscount Garmoyle—irreverently styl Lord Gumboil by the chappies and johnnies of the hour—and the girl was the beauteous Mies Findey, alias Fortescue, some time ago queen of the fairies in “‘lolanthe,” but now the affianced of his Lordship there. The en- gagement and subsequent withdrawal fro the stage of the lady have been matter-o town talk for some weeks back. | There was every element of the love row mance, pure and simple. Her father wasa coal merchant—even as that of the Hiber. nian in the ditty, her father sould charcoal and his paternal parent was a belted earl, and a pious to boot, none other than the great “dissenting” peer, Earl Cairns, look you. But que voulez vous? True love ig more than coronets and simple faith than Norman blood. The marriage was to také place immediately, but now weeks have elapsed and still they are not wed. Many. tongued gossip now takes the matter up and says as how she will not marry he, because his morals are not what a queen of the fairies requires, and other have it that frailty’s name is Gumboil and he is already a-weary of his lovely betrothed and wishes to be off with the old love ante cedent to his getting on with the new. The appearance in public of the swains, at Mary Anderson’s Galatean feast, shows these rumors to be unfounded. They exhibit themselves together; ergo, they are still en- gaged. Miss Finney Fortescue's moral characteris unassailable. As Eugenie de Montijo said to Napoleon IIL, the road to her apartments is through the church door. So, no doubt, she will yet be my lady Gum- boil. I believe the delay arises at the mille tary school of Sandhurst, the authorities of which institution hold that it is best for his lordship to thoroughly learn the artof war * he attempts the difficult study of that vf. love.

Brigands Capture an Italian Noblemaa —D he Treatment He Received. From the New York Herald. The Duke of Calvino, who was captured by brigands in the neighborhood of Trapani, has been released by his captors on payment of a ransom of 150,000f. by his family, who never expected to see him alive again, he being very obese, advanced in age and af. flieted with a nervous malady. He had passed thirty-five days with the brigands, and, strange to say, the treatment he had re- ceived, though by no means pleasant, has had the etfect of completely curing him. The Duke relates that in the night when he was taken he was put on horseback and made to ride till next morning, when brigands stop at a kindof warehouse, There he remained the first day and wrote, at his captors’ dictation, a letter to his fami. ly, asking them to send the above named ransom. In the evening the journey was re- sumed, and as the rain was falling in tors rents the Duke was clad in some tarpaulin, and a sack was placed over his head to pro- tect him. The second night the rty reached an abaudoned shed, where the Duke was left, with a guard outside the door. The third night the journey was continued, and ended at the place destined beforehand for the Duke’s concealment. He had to enter this retreat on hands and knees, through a narrow opening, into a cave, and then through a a second hole into a subterranean grott». Here he remained for thirty days without any light, lying on @ bundie of straw which was never changed, His food consisted of bread aud cheese and water. The briganas left bim alone, only returning to bring food. By the light of a lamp, which was lowered from above, they forced him to write 88 letters to his family, and dictated what he should say, His tamily, to obdtaia his release, used the utmost intluence to preveut the mili authorities from pursuing the brigands un the ransom had been safely paid and re- ceived.. The band liberated their victim after having gouducted him on foot for @ considerable distance to the territory of Cas tellamare, where a peasant’s house had been indicated to him, whence he would be con- ducted by the inmates to Trapani, twenty miles distant.

New YorRK, January 7. — The cable an- nounces that Mme. Materna, the famous opera singer, has brought suit against Herr Pallini, manager of the largest theater in Hamburg. Germany. for breach of contract. The suit is pending in the Vienna courts. Palllni engaged six members of the Imperial Opera Company, including Mme. Materna. to sing in the United States at enormous sala- ries. Mme. Materna was to receive $100,000 to sing in this country from October 1, 1884, to March 31, 1885. When the ar- rangement leaked out in Vienna the manag- ers of the Imperial Opera House threatened to resort to legal means of redress if their contracts were broken. All the singers, with the exception ot Mme. Materna, agreed to give u ir contracts and remain with the imperial Opera Company. But Materma in- sisted upon having ber $100,000, and has ac- cordingly brought suit. Mr. M. Reno said he did not know who the New York men are who, with Prilini, made the contract with Mme. aterna, but it is generally under- stood that Theodore Thomas was anxious to bring Materna bere.

John Mackay acted durfhg the eveving,as a sort of comedy, Bill Tovee, and as master of ceremonies kept the audience in rears of laughter in his quaint business and expressions. He also introduced some very fine imitations of John E. Owens, M. B. Curtis, Harry Dixey, Stu- art Robson, John T. Raymond. and his in- imitabie piece of mimicry Macy's Clerk.“ Miss Kate Castleton is as handsome a high stepper as ever, and ber funny breaks as the Quakeress in „For Goodness’ Sake Don't Say 1 Told Lou“ caused great laughter. Miss May Stembier is singing better than ever before, and her Waltz song and “Jack and Gill“ were warmiy encored. Gorge Fortescue did his well- kuowu baby business, and D.

Some of the situations are in- tepsely dramatic, notably the attempted murder of Jack Hearnein the celiar of the Biack Croft and the thrilling wreck scene which closes the play. Throughout there are a numberof handsome and elaborate sets, and the transformations are most in- genious and well-nandied pieces of stage wechavism. I do not remember a play in which so much is done in the stage depart- ments asin “Romany Rye,” and the house last nightatthe Olympic was most loud in its demonstrations of approval.
