KILKENNY, Dec. 13.—The committee ap- thost pointed last night to conduct the campaign of Sir John Pope Hennessey, the nominee of the McCarthy faction for member of Pdrliament hela a meeting to-day. Mr. Timothy Healy made an address, in which he attacked Mr. Parnell for employing mob violence te pre- ventthe arguments of his opponents from reaching the ears ofthe people. He charged that Mr. Parnell was supplying the mob with drink and that he was spend- ing the Nationalists’ party money and the tenants’ money. He (Healy) ana the late Mr. Biggar knew the facts in connection with the Eltham intrigue, and they should have strangled it when Capt. O'Shea was nominated by Mr. Parnellto represent Gaiway in Pariia- ment. Unfortunately it was allowed te grow. From the Tory point of view Mr. Parnell was the savior of the Tories, and Mrs. O'Shea was the Tory Joan of Arc. Parmeliia Kilkeuny. KILKENNY, Deo. 13.—Parnel!l is here ready for the campaign and seems more determined than ever to have matters hisowam way. Yes- terday was an exciting day. His supporters shouted long and loud to prociaim their al- legiance to him. The Secretaries of two lebor organizations called on. Mr. Parnell during the day and told him that he wastheir leader and not Mr. Davitt, who had been spoken of as the fatber of their movement. In replying Parnell said that Davitt claimed to be the father. Parnell looks fatigued and his voice is al- gone. Before he left Cork he had an interview with the National League Committee at which the correspondents were present. He said that he had for months been considering the ques- tions relating to the differept teadaers of Irish- men, the position of the National League of Cork, the condition of the laborers’ move- ment of Cork County, and how far he, as the leader, could reconcile those interests. The speech made by Mr. Parnell was simply a reiteration of what Davitt has said. The position of Parnell was considered somewhat strange in view of the fact that he has in the past opposed the stand of Davitt on the question of introducing the labor issue in Irish politics. When Parnell was about to leave Cork for Kilkenny a large crowd collected at the depot and shouted themselves boarse. There were fifty students from Queen’s College in the gathering. At Port Ariington the crowd at the station was divided, some shouting for Parnell and others for the opposition. An immense crowd met him at Kil- kenny and some sixty of the Irish police were on hand to make a passage- way. The Workingmen’s Club received him and there was moch cheering as he drove to his botel. Davitt and Healy were also in the city, and the opinion was generally expressed that Parneil received much better treat- ment than they. Fecling runs s0 high ‘between the two factions that serious collisions between the Parnell and McCarthy adherents are looked for at the polls. In an interview Mr. Parnell criticised the conduct of the opposition argd expressed himeelf as confident of success. He de- nounced the opposition asthe Whigs of Irish politics. He expressed his willingness to meet Dillion and O’Brien in Paris to effect a compromise if possible. Mr. Parnell will attena a big demonstration in Tipperary to-morrow. Declared for Parnell, DuBLIN, Dec. 18.—Four well-known Irish newspapers have declared openly for Mr. Parnell. Oneofthem, the Leinster Leader, which is published every ‘Saturday at Nass, County Kildare, and of which Mr. James L. Carew, NM. P., and Mr. James Leaby, M. P., are the proprietors, holds that it is the duty of every member of the Nationalist party to stand firm by the man who welded the Irish into the greatest force in politics, the man who has never yet misied the people. It he is loyally supported now, the Leader says he will crown his achievements by the de- liverance of the nation. The other papers are the Western People, published at Ballina, County Mayo; the West Meath Examiner, published at Mullingar, County West Meath, and the Derry Journal, published at Londonderry. They all publish articles to the same effect as the one published by the Leader. Eevoys Bound fer France. New York, Dec. 18.—This morning William O’Brien, Timothy HarringtonandL. D. Gill sailed for Europe, Harrington onthe Etruria and O’Brien and Gill on the Obdam of the Netherlands Line. O'Brien stated last night tbat Gill and himself were bound for France to work forthe reunion of the party, while Dillion, Sullivan and O’Connor remained be- hind to continue the appeal for the evicted tenants’ fund inthe event of such reunion. They did not eall by the German Lioyds Lize for fear of being arrested by English author- ities at Southampton. All their colleagues except Harrington were agreed upon the eourse ofaction. The principal object of the journey to France wasto confer with McCar- thy as tothe best means ef saving the ap- proaching general election. Priests aed People.

Dillon, jun- ior alderman of the Rotunda Ward of Dublin has written a letter to the Freeman’s Journal stating that Messrs. John Dillion and Wm. O’Brien are still hopeful of effecting a com- promise with Mr. Parnell. Refuses te Pay Salaries. DUBLIN, Dec. 18.—The Freeman’s Journal says that Mr, Francis Xavier O’Brien, Tresurer of the National League, refuses to pay the sala- ries of the League officials, on the ground that they are not neutral. Sexten Lil. LONDON, Dec. 18.—Mr. Sexton is ill and has cancelled his engagements tospeak in Tip- perary. Mr. Davitt will replace him. Press Comment. LONDON, Dec. 13.—The Pall Mali Gazette says to-day that the question is not whether Par- nell is mad, but whether the patriots are maudlin. It urges that there be no more pal- tering or faltering. The Dublin Express, commenting on the Par- liamentary contest at Kilkenny and the activ- ity in the canvass shown by the Parnellites, asks, ‘*‘Where is McCartny?’’ The Daily News (Liberal) protests against what it considers the offensive manner in which the constabulary pursued and dogged Michael Davitt and hie friends in Kilkenny. It says: ‘‘That impartial administrator, Mr. Ba!four, offered no such indignity to the Par- nellites.’’ The Star (Home Rule) this afternoon pub- lishes an article deny!ng tbat Ireland has de- clared for Parnell. The lrish people, it says, may be for the moment in the grip of the fas- cination to which all yield in their admira- tion of strength whether bad or good. The feeling which even hig opponents cherish for the rude masterfalness of Parnellis akin to the admiration entertained for Milton’s **Satan.’’ Ireland in time will exorcise Par- nell and vindicate herright of self-gevern- ment without confiding her destiny te one great personality. Parliamentary Fand Association. New YORK, Dee. 18.—The Irish Parliamen- tary Funa Asscciation last night issued the following statement as the result of a meeting held on Thursday night: ** PARLIAMENTARY FuNpD ASSOCIATION, ROOMS OF EXKCUTIVE COMMITTEE, HOFFMAN HOUSE, NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 1890.—The Par- liamentary Fund Association is deeply grieved overthe unfortunate condition into which the Irish Parilamentary party Is plunged by recent and occurring events, which threaten disaster to the hopes ard —, of Ireland’s friends throughout the worl ‘*‘Wh ile not eeeking to dictate to the people of Ireland what @ac8i be pursued in the interest of a cause whieh we all hold sacred, we feel ita duty of conscience to ask that Ire- land’s political life should not be imperiled by personal interest or factional strife. Deeply grateful for the services of Mr, Par- nell, and recognizing his wonderful achieve- ments in her behalf, wecan rot calmly con- sent to have all that has been purchased for Ireland, and atsuch cost and sacrifice, shat- tered and lost in an hour of passion. **While it paing usto take astand against him whom we bave heretofore recognized as Ireland’s leader, we unhesitatingly assert that the cause of home rule, which has been from the first the one reason for the existence of the Parliamentary party and of our. associa- tion, is superior to any man or set of men. ‘*We therefore, indorse the position taken by the visiting Parliamentary deiega- tion, and unite with themin asking Farnell to recognize the willof the majority, and, by a personal sacrifice, save his country from being cast into a civil strife, which gives comfort to Ireland’s hereditary enemy, disheartens her friends, alienates her allies, and must resuiltin the total destruction of ail that bas been gained by our race since the present constitutional movement began.’’ The paper is signed by Messrs.

PLANS FOR THE POLYTECHNIC, Prebability That Taey Will Be Altered te Enlarge the Library. All the Members of the School Board Bulld- ing Committee were present at last night’s meeting with the exception of Mr. Gibbons. Isaac S.

Librarian Crunden said that he and the architect had tried faithfully tofindroom sufficient to accommodate the library in one story, but it had been impossi- bie.

After considerable wrangling it was decided to draw up specifi- cations of the work and solicit bids. The yards of the Clay Schoo! were ordered paved. St. Patrick’s School, a recent purchase, will be visted by the committee to ascertain what repairs are needed. Messrs. Barstow, Sheahan and Bannerman of the Teachers Uomutittee, together with Supt. Long and Assistant Supt. Murpby, yees- terday visited the Clifton Heilxhts School room and have formed the opinion that it would be an unnecessary action to make that school tudependent of Gratiot, which is only five blocks away.

LONDON, Dec, 13.—English attention is di- verted to some extent even from the Irish quarrels by the threatening news from Lisbon and East Africa. Dispatches from Lisbon state that the popular excitement there is increasing and that the Ministry is rapidly losing control of affaire, the Government’s only course being to drift with the tide or resign. Volunteers are offered by the bun- dreds to fight tne British intruders and the news that the Portuguese flag had been hauled down st Mutacas Kraal caused 4 frenzy of excitement. Later explanations between the two Govern- ments have been diplomatically satisfactory, but have not allayed the feelings of the Por- tuguese people,and unless Lord Salisbury can inducethe British South Africa Co. tu with- draw their forces, an African war seems cer- tain with Portugal and the company as com- bDatants, and thecompany has behind it the British population inall the Suuth. African colonies, now the favorite resortof adven- turers, of whom thereare saidto be thou- sands roaming about without employment. The company has large financial resources, and canenlist allthe men it desires. Great Britain, on the other hand, has no troops who might be used to compel the company’s forces to withdraw fromthe disputed terri- tory amdtne sending of aspecial expedition would be a very expensive affair. The Ninteenth Portuguese Infantry Rezgi- ment and several other detachments of infan- try and artillery will sail from Lisbon fer Mozambique to-morrow. The Stanley.Barttelot Controversy. LONDON, Dec. 13.—Walter Barttelot, brother of the late Maj. Burttelot, writes tothe Times: ‘*All that Stanley said about me is untrue. It is also untrue that my brother wrote me to prevent Troupe divulging anything or that Stanley or bis offcers warned menot to pub- lish my brother’s diaries. Bonny toid me some, not allofthe tales, but he atthe same time told stories to the discredit of nearly every officer of the expedition, including Stanley. The latter’s book and all subsequent accasations are full of irreconciliable contra- dictions and inconsistencies, largely made up of scuuriags of camp gossip.’* Mr. Barttelot concludes as follows: ‘‘Stan- Jey has done this tocover his own culpabill- ty.”’ He incloses aletter from Lieut. Baert testifying to Maj. Barttelot’s indomitable energy and courage. Lieut. Baert says that he was on the spot but never heard of the ac- cusations Stanley has made. Ferdinand and Marie. LONDON, Dec. 13.—8t. Petersburg advices state thatthe betrothal of Prince Ferdinand, heir to tbe throne of Roumania, and Marie, daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh, is viewea with mixed feelings. The prospective bride is niece to the Czar and only 15 years of age, but it is feared that her British paternity and training will affect her Russian connections, and that marriage wiilrather strengthen the anti-Russian attituace of the royal house of Roumania, already connected by biocod with the Emperor of Germany and the rulieg house of Great Britain. They Want the Troops. LOXEDON, Dec. 13.—A singular feature of Lord Wolseley’s tour in Ireland as com- mander-in-chief of the British troops is that he is beset with petitions from the residents of Irish towns in which troops are situated, not to withdraw the men, it being the policy of the imilitary authorities to remove the soldiers from the smal! garrisons and concen- trate them to the larger centers. This is deprecated by the people who are to be de- prived of trade which the presence of the military gives them. The Consular Bangnet. Lonpor, Dec. 15.—Consul General Jobn O. New presided at a consular banquet at the Metropolitan Hotel last evening. There were present Lord Mayor Savory and the Lady Mayoress, tbe Sheriffs of the county and their wives, Postmaster General Raikes, Baron Alfred de Rothschild, the Austro-Hungarian Consui General here und a large number of other notable personages.

Seliverskoff, at the Hotel DeBade on Nev. 18, was by the writer assisted to escape across the French frontier. As soon as he found himself beyond French jurisdiction, Padiowski was assisted in reaching Trieste in safety. On his arrival there he was placed on board of a steamer bound for Seuth American ports. A Hero ef the Indiana Mutiny. ‘Lorpon, Dec. 13.—Maj. Bogie, one of the heroes of the Indian mutiny of 1857, died to- Gay at Sherborne. When the Conas gate was blown in on July 29, 1857, Bogie, then a yousg lieutenant, stormed the passage with a hand- fulof men and opened the way fer Haver- lock’s forces.

The semi-quarteriy pay rolls of the School Board are being made up to-day, and next week the treasurer will send the teachers their Christmas money. One would suppose that it was not a very difficult task to pay the teachers of the schools, since they are regu- larly employed at stipulated salaries, but there is probably not a factory in the oity in which ‘‘paying off’’ is a greater undertaking than the semi-quarterly paying of the school teachers. The work starts with the principal school, who is required to the roll for his school, the attendance of each teacher, her salary per day, the whole amount due him. This has to be done as well for the substitutes and half-day assis- tants in the Kindergarten as for the regular teacher in the grades, and it is quite an under- taking. These roles are then sent to Supt. Long’s office, where Mr. Dyer checks them up. ny he | calculation has to be proved and every footing verified. Then an abs t must be made which, when therolls are all in, will show the total amount paid for salaries. The oe -rolls are then indorsed apd sent to reasurer Player,who also makes an abstrach and when his abstract and Mr. Dyer’s agree the checks are made out. And tnat is another job. There are about 1.100 teachers to pay, and the secretary and treasurer does not piay when he has this work before him. Heand his entire force are kept busy fortwo or three days, and when the checks are all made up and signed they are sent to the various principals who distribute them. This is the plan by which the thousand and more energetic women who teach the young idea how to shoot are paid their meager compensation for their toll, Christmas Presents.

Elitott at His Home in Kirkwood, At his residence in Kirkwood yesterday, Col. Richard 8S. Elllott, aged 74, passed quietly away, surrounded by friends and relatives In 1850, Mr. Elliot¢ was the junior partueri the then prosperous real estate firm of Lef« fingwell & E/lliott, and Elliot ave- nue was laid out by and named after him. He was Capt. Jas. B. Eads’ pri- vate secretary during the construction of the celebrated Eads bridge. Mr. Elliott was a contributor to newspapers and magazines, and a few years age published a book contain- lng bis various contributions. As the coadjutor ef the late Capt. Eads he also took an active part in the building of the jetties and furnished during their construction some very interesting reports showing the progress of the work. Mr. Elliott was a native of Pennsylvania. His early life wasspent in that State, and he be- came the intimate of the late Simon Cameron, and formed the acquaintance of many ef the distingnished men of that period. Possesed of fine literary ability and a tenacious mem- orv, he wrote copious reminiscences of those times, which were published in «a book some years ayo, from which extracts were taken and widely circulated. To old politicians the book was of value from the graphic description ef the Harrison cam- paiga of 1840, togetberfwith anecdotes anda selection ofthe songs which so amply con- tributed to the ‘‘hard cider’’ and log cabin infatuation of the memorial campaign. The book was gotten upin good form, and its literary merits were conceeded by the eopious extracts made from its pages.

It Would Lead te a Wild Clamor.fer Credit and Create a Feeling of Helpless De- pendence on the Part ef Farmers—The New Hampshire Situation—Gov, Boyd— General Pelitical News. LANSING, Mich,, Dee. 138.—The Michigan Grange is in open revolt against the National Grange on account of the stand taken by the national organization in indorsing the prep- osition for Government loans on real estate. Before adjourn ing the re report was adopted: **'We regret that the National Grange, the Farmers’ Alliance and other organisations of farmers bave indorsed the proposition in one form or another to make loans by the Gov- ernment to the people. That the issuing of $1,000,000, 000 of treasury notes and loaning it to the people, either directly or indirectly, ate low rate of interest would lead to a wild clamo1 for credit, every intelligent persom must admit. That no system could be de vised or its operation so guarded as to pre- vent partiality and favoritism in its distribu- tion, first to personal friends of the loaning agent, nextto his political associates, every thoughtful man must foresee. That it would create a feeling of helpless dependence upom Government aid by those whom it is designed to benefit, thereby relaxing their individual effort, destroying their energy and self-rell ance and rendering them helpiess mendicants of Government charity, every observer of human amature must know. That it would lead to thriftiess improvidence, relying upon Goveruament aid or Government forbearance by those whom it seeks to ben- efit, and prove a curve instead of a biessing is 80 Piainly evident that we are ourpriesd thatthe National Grange should aliow itself toe be carried away by the clamor of those who hope to gain tor themselves pubile preferment by holding out a scheme 80 en~- ticing tothe ignorant or jimprovideat debtor and scheming speculator.’’ The lewa Grange.

He tried to squeeze them up one notch mors, but they wouidno’t go. ‘*They are tight enough now,’’ he sald. ‘*They aretighter than any prisoner would have them, because he couldn’t wear them that tient.’ ‘All right, ’* said Dixey, ‘‘pow put on that other pair.’ ‘*Which, these?’’ asked Desmond, picking up a newly patented cuff. ‘*Yes,’’ Dixey answered; ‘‘put them on.’’ They are madeso that the lock is entirely concealed, so that when they are closed they look like two solid rings of jron on the wrists. They too were put on the actor below the other pair. ‘‘are they ready now?’’ he asked, and when Desmond replied that they were he said: ‘‘Now will you ailbe kind enouxh to step outside the door, ~~ when Iclose the door, look at a watch and*time me.’’ He was left alone in the room and the spec- tatore stood inthe baliway, eagerly listen- in A click was beard, and Mr. McDonald said, ‘*Thpere goes one of them. The second hand of the watch went round the circie twice, but nothing more was heard. Mr. Desmond looked expectant. Ali the crowd did, for that matter. Murderers and the most desperate characters are carried about from place to place in those handcuffs whieh furnish the only assurance that the prisoner would be safely landed, and if a man could get out of them it wasa rather serious piece of business for the police. At the end of four minutes another clank of the chain was heard. ‘‘There goes the otner,’’ said Mr. Mco- Donald. Ten seconds later Mr. Dixey cried out, *‘I can’t get out of these ‘*I thought he couldn’t, ** said Mr. Des- mond and his face brightened up. The others looked puzzied. The door opened and the spectators crowded in. There stood Mr. Dixey witha placid smile on bis face his right hand above bis nead and the handcuffs dangling from his forefinger. CHIEF DESMOND SURPRISED. Mr. Desmonda’s face fell, but he saw the proof before him. Dixey was out and free. ‘*If you have a pair of old Engiish darbies,’’ be eaid, ‘‘l will show youanice trick with them.’’ ‘*] pavyen’t got any, said Mr. Desmond, ‘*but let me see your hands. ax On his right wrist was adeep red mark, showing that the frst cuff which had been put on was so tight that it marked the fesh. The rest of his hand looked as natural asever. It was not red or scratched, nor were there any of the signs which would have been there if the band had been forced with difficuity out of the steel rings. If they had been one would have understood that Dixey made bishands as smali as possible and then forced the cuffs over them, but the absence of all marks disproved that theory and Dixey presérved the secrecy of his clever trick. ‘*‘Won’t youtell us,’’ said Mr. Desmond, ‘thow you do that?’’ ‘Oh, that’sa secret,’ sey can't give that away. **But it would be a good tip for us when we are traveling With prisoners.’ **Keep awake;that’s the best tip I can give you,’ ald Mr. Dixey, laughingly, and then he walked out leaving the crowd guessing. said Mr. Dixey. How be succeeded is a problem, pus everyone there saw that the trick wus fairly done. The bandcuffs left their marks on hig wrists, so tightly were they puton, and in four minutes and ten sec- onds he bad both pair off. FULL OF TRICKS. Dixey is full of tricks like these, and he is as fond o: performing them as others are of see- ing them. A few of his friends went to Lis rooms at the Southera yes- terday afternoon to witness his **bag trick,’’ and that is as much ef a marvel as getting out of the handcuffs. He brought out of his bedroom & bac wade of strong calico, It was about seven feetiong and two feet Near the top was a ieatber inches long, fastened to he ith a copper rivet.

It is the favorite remedy for hoarseness and all affections of the vocal organs, throat, and lungs. As an anodyne and expectorant, the effects of this preparation are promptly realized. “Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral has done me great good. It is a splendid remedy for all dis- eases of the throat and lungs, and I have much pleasure in testifying to its merits.”— (Rev.) C. N. Nichols, No. Tisbury, Mass. “In my profession of an auctioneer, any affection of the voice or throat is a serious matter, but, at each attack, I have been re- lieved by a few doses of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. This remedy, with ordinary care, has worked such a magical effect that I have suffered very little inconvenience. I have also used it in my family, with very excel- lent resul.s, in coughs, colds, &c.”’—Wm. H. Quartly, Minlaton, So. Australia. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, PREPARED BY DR. J.C.

RUSK AND SHERMAN ON TRUSTS. , In voting for the new tariff Senator SHERMAN told the manufacturers sol- emnly that he would not do so any more, and would even favor the withdrawal of its protection from them if they took ad- vantage of it toform trustsand force up prices by destroying competition. He warned them that the country would not stand that, and that he would not stand it They did not believe him because he had often talked that way on the stump, but had always: yoted for trust-breeding bars to competition, and on the pending measure had voted against all proposed amendments intended to deprive trusts and monopoly combinations of the full benefits of protection. The Senator,there- fore, need not be surprised to find that in spite of his warning his friend, Col. CoNGER, the Ohio member of the Republican National Committee, is now the foremost figure in the new Reaper and Mower Trust formed at Chi- cago with a capital of $35,000,000, which the Cleveland Leader, the New York Tribune, Secretary Rusk and other sup- porters of the new tariff are denouncing so severely. Secretary Rusk says that this combination is now selling machinery in Russia, Australia and other wheat- growing countries at lower prices than it charges for the same articles in this coun- try, and that this favoring of our great- est competitors inthe grain market will not do, because it willruin the Republi- can party. Senator SHERMAN saw this as plainly as Secretary Rusk, and still voted for the bill which made the mischief possible. Rvusk also supported it, and neither one of them has avy right to protest against such inevitable abuse of the power that tariff places in the hands of plutocratic combinations. This forseen abuse was what polled such a majority against them and their party in the election. If they are sincere and don’t want it to keep on ruining their party, why don’t they call for the repeal of their trust tariff? — ---- a IN shaping his estimates for this year and next so as to show that the present Congress has not quite succeeded in wip- ing out the surplus, Mr. WINDoOmM ignores river and harbor bills; extraordinary ex- penditures of about $40,000,000 by the Navy and War Departments, already authorized; the promised refunding of the direct war tax of $17,000,000; the pending subsidy bills which President HARRISON urges Congress to pass; a formidable array of inevitable deficiency bills, and the $12,000,000 a year which the execution of the force bill caucus. But.even after ignoring all these deadly stabs at the poor little surplus, which has been actually wiped out accord- ing to any fait account of receipts and expenditures to date, Mr. Windom can only figure out a surplus: for June, 1892, } by assuming that the new tariff will re- duce the revenue less than half as much as its friends claimed. It was a cruel necessity which forced Mr. WINDoM to inflict this unkind cut upon his party associates. _ —_ _———— ee WHILE some of the largest woolen mill in the country are failing under the new tariff and turning multitudes of workers adrift without employment, others, like the Radcliff mills at Birmingham, Conn., have cut wages 15 per cent and produced strikes. These mills findthat the increase of their protection to 45 or50 per cent from 35 does not compensate for the increased eost of the raw materials under the heavy additional taxes on the same. Itis true the wool tax has failed to raise the price of wool in this country, and the wool- growers are as much disappointed as the mill-bosses. But by excluding foreign mixing wools from our market it has not only made our own clip less available at home, but has given foreign manufac- turers a larger and cheaper supply of wool to draw upon—an advantage which ena- bles them to still undersell with our ham- pered manufacturers in our own markets in spite of the higher duties on imported woolens. —_—— -- —_ ¢ — —--— Tux Congressman who favors dimin- ishing in the slightest degree the num- bers, privileges or perquisites of the lady managers of the World’s Fair is in danger.

The leaders ofthe Alliance are disposed to gain their objects from one or the other of the twogreat parties, and at present their hopes are based on the Democrats. _ - —— THE most unpromising feature of the Indian troubles is contained in the reports 5 ‘ 9° . foa5 4 AL : - A ‘shoe pat iy » “nee . ad Fi : ye a is, b eee te Le « . my “ wd oe, 25, bee bands ofredskins. Thesettlers have no love for the Indians under any circum- stances, and their stealing affords occa- sion for hostilities. In the excited condi- tion of whites and Indians war may be precipitated by an accidental meeting of settlers and Sioux. ———————— ee Tue bitterness and violence which eharacterize the campaign in Ireland be- tween adherents and opponents of PaR- NELL are the features most to be regretted in the situation. Unfortunately Mr. ParR- NELL’s wild speeches and rash conduct are responsible for much of the violent tem- per displayed by Irishmen. The fight is now evidently to the political death of one or the other factions. The Reet of Kvil. From the New York WoRLD. The uncertainties exist because the taxing power of the Government, intended simply for the raising of the revenués necessary to pay the National expenses, has been pervert- ed to other uses. Congress imposes taxes or removes them, notin answer to the Govern- ment’s needs, but in an endeavor to regulate the business of the country, to benefit one in- dustry or one class at cost of ali the rest. The taxing power is used to help and hinder busi- ness, to direct its course and contro! ite oper- ations. In that perversion lies the sole cause of uncertainty. No man knows what or how much Congress will do in this respect— whether ite nextstep will be to give artificial aid to bis business or to subject it to some burden which it cannot bear. It is a faise system, full of evil and poss /bil- ities of evil. We ahall never have peace in the business world or the secure basis of con- fidence until we finally abandon the attempt to regulate business by legislation, cease to subsidize a class and learn to levy only such taxes as are vecessary forthe suppertof tbe Government economically administered, leav- ing industry and trade free to flow in natural channels and to make the most of opportunl- ties in legitimate fashion. Down the Pensien Sharks. From the Philadelphia Times. It is known to all Congressmen that every demand for profligate pensions has been Originated and forced through the soldier organizations by the banded pension sharks of the country. Every new pension bill they have forced upon Congress has paid these pension sharks militons of dollars, and to- day in the face of an immediate Treasury deficit and the inevitable and early baak- ruptey of the Treasury, they are making desperate efforte to pass the arrears and service pension bills, which would utterly and hbepelessiy bankrupt tne Government. There are now 30,000 pension agents in the country, most of whom are devising pians from day to day to defraud the Government in the preparation of pension claims. They are entirely neediess in any honest pension appli- cation, and the fact that they have been the fountain of pension profiigacy imperiously calls for the entire overthrow of their voca- tion. With acompetent pension tribunal in every locality, including several in large cities, every honest pension claimant could be informed percisely how and where to ob- tain proper evidence to sustain the claim; and the intervention ofthe pension shark is simply a fraud upon the claimant and a pre- mium upon perjury and theft. | mopney They have prepared a| In view of the* of fights petween settlers aud mareuding. - a . - eee coe ASN 2. ob, The Futility of Subsidies. will cost if it is passed in accordance with | From tne Philadelphia Telegraph (Ind. Rep.). the decree of the President and the party | If the President will some day stand at Cas- tle Garden, overlooking New York Harbor, he will perceive that American steamships are not essential requisites tothe building up of foreign trade. He will see lying at the pier of that port steamsbivs from every port iu the world, foreign built, foreign owned, foreign manned; but he will not see one carrying the flag of his country or sailing under an Amer- ican registry. And this, too, despite the fact that many milliens of good dollars have been paid out of the National Treasury to sub- sidize American ships in the vain hope of building up a native merchant marine against the wise free ship policy which is the policy of every other nation on the face of the earth, and which is prohibited only in this country. If the United States were to win back one-half the commerce it had thirty years ago under the forcing subsidy system, it would bankrupt the nation to pay the subsidies and bounties conferred by the twe Senate bilis which the President urges Congress to pass and which he is so anxious to sign. . Blind Leading the Blind. From the Philadelphia Telegraph (Ind. Rep.) W hat possible excuse can there be for such flagrant defiance of the public will as is man!i- fested by Senator Hoar and those co-operat- ing with him in the Senate? These men seem to be utterly blinded by partisan rage; other- wise they surely would not insist upon fol- lowing the course they seem to have marked out in connection with the Federal elections bill. That measure bas been irrevocably con- dem ned by the people of thé country of all classes. The ablest and best Republican jour- nals have denounced it; business men every- where, without regard to politics, have done likewise. Itis ascheme fraught with possi- bilities of infinite mischief. Its enactment and attempted enforcement would only not remedy the evile complained of, but would intensify them a hundred fold. Why Meney Is Scarce. From the Boston Post. ‘Why is it,’* people are asking every day, ‘*that there is such adearth of money? It bas not been exported. Has it been hoard- ed?’’ Not at all. There is just as much in circulation, probably more, than ever. But the trouble is juss here. In or- dinary times financial transactions are based much more on confidence than on cash, say 75 per cent confideuce and 25 per cent cash. Just now the supply of confidence is iow and the proportion is reversed. And so, although there is as much cash as ever, and although it is Coing far more service than in ordinary times, it fails to go reund. It is not more cash thatis wanted, but more confidence. That is the situation in a nutshell, An Oliver Twist Mutisy. From the Omaha World-Herald. The alleged mutiny amoag the Indians re- minds one stronyly of the mutiny of littie Oliver Twist. Little Oliver, you will recollect, was very, very hungry, but he would have stood it if many of his friends had not also been hungry. Under the circumstances he conceived atreasosable determination. He marched towacd the soup caidron with ex- tended plate and said, ‘‘I want some more soup if you please.’’ Well he was thrashed and locked in aroom,and finally driven te the verge of the grave with brain fewer. He was a ‘‘hostile.’’ The Indians are also ‘‘hos- tiles.’’ They want moresoup. And they will therefore be thrashed and lecked up and driven quite over the verge of the grave, per- haps.

At a meeting of the Young Men’s Club of Pilgrim Congregational Churoh last evening Mr. Frederick N. Judson, who had been in- vitea to deliver an address, spoke entertain- ingly on the subject, ‘‘The Duties of Citizen. ship.’’ He said it was the duty of every good cltizen to vote for good governmont and to secure that boon it was necessary to elect good men to office. He spoke particularly on municipal affuirs and advocated independent votin when itcame to a selection of men to fi local offices. Mr. Judson’s lecture gave rise to a report that an iadependent political movement was . on foot to take an active part ig the coming spring election and that it was apart of the programme to do some quiet missionary work awong the clubs and church societies. Questioned on this subject thie morning Mr. Judson said there was no special significance to be attached to his re- marks. ‘*] was Invited,’’ he said, ‘*to address the club, which lunderstand is a literary club connected with the church. I selected my own subject, which related to the duty of youny men ascitizens. It bad no connection direct or Indirect with any movement of the kind to which youallude, and | know of none. While I have strong political conyie- tions on national politics I thoroughly believe that such matters have nw propes part ia the local government of a city. also believe when citizens fail to take an active, independ- eut and intelligent interest in their govern- ment they practically surrender self-goyern- ment, and are personally responsible for bad government. ’’ Atthe next meeting of the club ex-Goy.

Treuble Mileage Tickets Are Causing in the Western Passenger Association — The fanmadian Pacific’s Proposed Koute From Beflale te the Korthwest—Congressman Masen May Become a Geuld Attorney— News of the Ra!t!. The certainty of a large attendance of Western railroad presidents at the meeting to be held next Monday at the house of J. Pier- pont Morgan seems to be assured, says the New York 7ribune. Col. John J. McCook re- turned yesterday from Boston, where he pecured, it is understood, the promise that President Perkins of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road, would be at the conference. President Manvel! wiil be in this city to-day, ana will remain over to take part in the deliberations. Acceptance of Mr. Morgan's invitation has becn made by Presidents Gould of the Missouri racific, Huntington of the Southern Pacific, Cable of the Rock Isiand, Miller of the St. Paul and Dillom of the Union Pacific. President Hewitt ofthe Chicago & Northwestern is expected to attend, as he expressed himeelf in favor of the movement when he leftthis city for the West a week or so ago. Other favorable re- pponses are expected, but nothing official could be obtained from Mr. Morgun, who left the city for Boston yesterday in order to attend bis son’s marriage. Mr. Morgan is not acting In the matter asa representative of any banking organization. He simply has placed the hospitalities of bis bome at the service of the railway men who want to discuss the imperative need of secur- ing a better maintenance of rates. The meet- ing is preliminary in nature, and if sufficient coucord can be reached a larger meeting may be called. Itisnotkraown that the situation West calls for radical treatment, and the Memorandum that Jay Gould started in circulation has received n sufficient number of sianatures to warrant the belief that the Western prest- Gents ugree subgtantially upon the broad lines of any new contract between them. There will be submitted to next Monday’s conference several drafts of a new agreement So replace those existing now, and if any Oue of them is acceptable to all present it may not be necessary to do moretian refer the working out of details to the trafilc mana- gers of the different roads. Those persons whoare workiug hardestfar the success of tie new agreement frankly admitthe diver- gence of views on many points among the Western railroad men. But there is not one railroad manager who dves not realize that more netrevenue must be obtained, and that iuvestors wiil topple over those managements which should retuse toend the present disas- treus coupetitiens. The Mileage Ticket Trouble. Mileage tickets are just now causing the ‘Westerm passenger officials a great deal of concern, says the Chicago Pos. A large num- ber of thom have falien into hands of the brokers, and they are being used extensively to Gdemoralize the market, It is found that they ure more difficult to deal with than fRimostany other source of trouble. Chalir- miun Finley has succeeded in a great devree in clearing the market of every other disturbing element, but yet these mileagetickets threaten to prove too great an Obstacie for even him go grapple With successfully. And yet they can- not be dispensed with without working an evii greuter than that which it is sought to re- wove. it 8 a well-recognized business principle liatcommercial houses which pav annually thousands of dollarsto the ruiiroads in pas- tengerrates for their ayents and traveiers preentiiled to some consideration in the way ol rites over parties who may be making but aésingletrip in the year. Yet the interstate commerce act prohibits such consideration being extended them in the way of ordinary rates, and the only manner in which the dif- Teuity can be overcome is by the sale of ties@e mileage’ tickets, which the man who travels thousands of miles each yearcan handle as conveulentiy as be can an «rdipary singie-tripticket. ‘hese tickets are soldonthe understanding that they are not tiupeferable, bDutlet the roade take what pre- caution they may, experience has tauuhbt them that mileawe tickets will frequently fail into the hands of others thanthe parties to vhom they were originally issued, and the brokers get boid of them when all other fcurces of suppiv fall them, and through them are enabled tv keep the market in a more or less Gewmoraiized condition all the time. One class of them is particularly annoying. Thisis whatis known as editorial mileage tickete. They are not, as their name might indicate, issued to newspaper editors, Atew otthem may occasionally be used in that way, Lut the great bulk of them are supplied to the apents of so-colied advertising schemes which the reads are inauced to use in consid- eration of wetting any benefit that inay accrue from a certain amount of transportation given their promoters. Many of these edyertising dodges are WMitie better than fukir enterprises, but still the roads submit to be lived upon by them and their generosity is rewarded by many of the parties to whom this consideration is shown tuking this mileage and deliberately selling it t. the brokers at whatever they can get for it. fo great has the nuisance trom this cause be- come that some of the roads bave abolished the use of mileage tickets for advertising al- together and confine themselves strictly to the issue of singie-trip passes as those en- titted tothem mayreguire them. The abuse of tnese tickets is receiving wore attention than usual just at present, and every road in the clty has within the lust day or two issued he strictest orders to conductors and ticket collecters to take up every oue of them found inthe hands of any other than the parties to whom they were origivally issued. Apether Canadian Pacific Scheme. It has leaked out thatthe Canadian Pacific has been quietly distribating freight tariffs fora new route to the Northwest from Buf- falo.

Stoddard & Co., but Mr. Stoadard, itis understood, is at present the only member of the frm. He does a bank- ing and brokerage business, but most of his neecotiations are conducted in Kngland, it is said, apd bia headquarters are generally in Lendon, where his principal office Is situated. Mr.Stoddard is a member of the Consolidated Exchange and is well-known and highiv spoken ofthere, The Kansas City, Arkansas & New Orleans Kuilroad is ai railroad on paper only and the $6,000,000 worth of stock and bonds of the company whicn Mr. Stoddard is accused of having eubezziced have no market vaiue. Mr. Stoddard was to place the securities of the company. He was to float the bonds in the English market, and he was the fiscal agent of the company, but the failure of the Park Bank in Chicago last Jupe cowplicated the affairs of the railroad compuny and interfered with the plans of Mr. Stoddard and others of its promoters. At Mr. Stoddard’s New York office a gentieman who represented bimn said yesterday that Mr. Stoddard has thus far paid out of his own pocket all the funds that have been expended toward the surveying and laying out of the line of the Kansas City, Arkansas & New Orleans Rail- road, which it is claimed, will De, wren com- pleted, abeut 300 miles iong. As dir.

She says that sheihas been living with him for several yeurs secretiy and that when the proper time comes she will prove her story. This the heirs inthis State deny, and Robertson's brother says that he lived with him peelf and knows fhut his brother never allowed himself to be caught in an entanclement with any adventuress, as be claims the nliieged wife is, Robertson left several relatives In Penneylivania, and under the laws of that State, if itcan be proven that Robertson war a pative of that State, of which there is doubt, they will come in for ashare of the estate, which will not be allowed them in this State. The law is vwery ioose regarding a wife’s claims on ber husand’s property, and the heire in this State will wait and see what evidence the alleged wife can bring to prove her story, and if there la any trutbinit. Itis more than likely that they will carry the case to Pennsylvania, where, if she does win, she gets only hali of the estate.

Effect of Treatment ina Well Developed Case of Lupus—The Lose of lymph Ad- ministered—The Great Rise of iempera- ture—Sofferers Awaitiug Their Tursa—An Acter’s Malady. N EW YORK, Dec. 13.— Physiciens who have beon spending most of their time at the beside of patients in hospitais im town for the past week, watch- ing the experimeuts withthe hoch lymph ure Degianing to reap their reward; not be- cause it is possibie yet to know whether any of the patients treated are going to be cured. Dr. Jacobi said yes- terdey that-he did uot expect scientific results soomer than from three to six months, and it would be im- proper, therefore, for a physician to attempt to describe results of the use of thelymph from day to day. It would be impossible to do so. The doctors are beginning, however, to get some results from thelr experiments. A CASE OF LUPUS. At the German Hospital the most interesting case is that of Wilbeimina Klieinert, a charity patient, who has beenfor yearsa sufferer from lupus on one side of the face. A Visiting pbysician wno saw tlhe woman inooulated, in describing the case to the reporter said that it was asingular case in 8ome respects. A rapid rise in temperature isthe result usualiy ob- served fouror five hours after the !Inocula- tion, Inthis patient’s case the température wentdown about? degs. This was noi re- markabie, though rare, but it was noticed thatthe temperature did not rise above the normal even after this negative reaction. The temperature had beco:ne normal yesterday. Most important, however, wss the result observeidi’ on the womapn’s disease. The lupus affection gradually swelled out aud be- caine first pink and then asred as though it had been painted. This was the condition of the patient yesterday, and itis expected that soon the sloughing process In the exterior of the swelling and the formation of granules on the ekin beneath, which Is the first indica- tion of healing, will follow. So far asthe experiment bas gone the case has behaved like the cases of lupus that have bcen re- ported from the German hospitals. The swelling already shows signs of collapse. The case of Augusta Meller, a child in a German hospital having the tuberculosis in the bones, and of Ida Scharmann, suffering from tuberculosis of the lung as well as heart laud and bardos, both with diseases of the lungs were said by the house pbysician, fF. k. Sondern, yesterday, to have shown a febrile reaction after tbe hyperderwic injection, THE RISE iN TEMPXKATURE. In the case of the consumptives in the Ger- men bospital the temperature rose as high as 105. This is the bighest temperature reported in a hospital case after inoculation by the lymph. The reaction had subsided suffi- ciently late yesterday afternoon for reinucu- lation by Dr. Jacobi. Afterwards five patients were reinooulated and one new case was treated—one of phthisis. IiInali the cuses at the hospital the doses were increascd and in some instances doubled. Supt. Ludwig said yesterday that he was overrun with applications by consumptives. Many were from New York and vicinity asd letters were pouring in from Western States. A man suffering from tubercutar larynei- tis entered the bospita! last evening and asked to betreated. He will be treated to-day. Two epecial rooms have been re- served im the hospital for the Koch treatment, but enough applications have been reccived to fill the hospital. Atthe St. Luke’s Hos- pital yesterday there were nonew inocula- tions. Patients formerly treated wore rein- oculated and reaction took place to a marked degree. The same wight besaid of alithe patients In Moust Sinai, whore the largest number of patients underthe new treatment is congregated. There are eighteen cases in the hospital. Nine of the patients are suffer- ing from pulmonary disease, five from tuber- culosis of bones, two from tubercular glands aud two from lupus. There is besides the case of a man who was believed to bave rheumatism, but not tuberculosis, but who showed a decided reaction, indicative of tuberculosis. One of the treated patients with a pulmonary disease, a little girl, woke up and began to sing yesterday morning, the nurse said. This was more surprising be- cause the child had showed the most violent reaction of any patient the day previous. Her temperature rose to 102.6 des. Dr. Jacobi inoculated with the lymph in double the amount ef the frst iroculation. THE DOSE. in ellthe cases in the hospital two milll- grames, doubie the amount first injected, was administered. The reaction in wost of the is not so great as in other hos- In the pulmonary cases Newton Heineman, the visiting hysician, said there is cousiderabie ever and sometimes itis a question whether this symptom is duced by nervousness or the lymph. One lupus case bas improved very much, the characteristic swelling, red- |pess and itching accompanying the healing In one of the pulmonary cases the ture dropped to 97 deg. , and this was ch git Fae ee : ¥ he ; ‘ ’ fever avd a return to the norma) "Yt the sew patieats Inovulated *~ is5 mh how & ‘eo 2 ae , rita te Berend ¥ thy tox rat ey i ~ F. 5 sf as v t. . yesterday one was a sea captain anil the other a private patient, a merchant in a New Jersey town. At the Hospital ior the ruptured and crippled mo inoculations were made yes- terday. It was noticed by a phy- siciua In anotber hospital, to whom this news came, that no inoculations had been made on Thursday and inguiry disclosed the fact that the hospitai had suffered the loss of most of its lympb by an unfortunate accident on Wednesday, while a physician was taking uplyinph in a syringe from the tiny bottie the bottle tippea over and two-thirds of the contents was spilled on the floor. The bos- pital will soon bave another supply of lympb. The four patients Ineculated on Tuesday and Wednesday are said to be doing well, but slight reactions having been produced in any ofthe cases. Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, who inoculated the patients in the hospital, wentto Washington iast evening. The New York Foundling Asyluin was added yesterday to the list ofinstitutions where the lymph is used. The case was that of u little patient of Dr. Keid and the form of tuberculosis from which the child was suffering was tubercu- losie meniuuitis. The patient was resting cas!ly last ovening.

He will enter the hospitalon Mondaynext. His case will be classec for experiment with the patients who are trying by means of the lymph to deter- mine the nature of their maladies. —_— —— S— Het Springs, Arkanéas. The World’s Sanitarium.

RELIGIOUS, Meeting of Methodist Ministers and Fre- siding Elders. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind,., Dec. 13.—The subject under discussion at the national mecoting ‘yes- terday of Metbodist ministers and presiding elders constituting the general committee was church extension. The Rev. J. A. Spencer, Assistant Secretary of the Churoh Extension Society, said he desired four ques tions discussed. First, how to secure a re- vival in every charge; second, what church oxtension has done for Indiana, and what it nas faiied to dv; third, why have the collec. tiens failed to reach the apportionments; fourth, what is to be done in the coming great revival of Methodism. Indiana, heeaid, has given during the past twenty-five vears $6) ,000 to the church exten- sion tund and received aboutthalf of it back. The society has adeficit of $112,000 from failure of churches to pay their apportionments, and the four States of Pennsylvania, Obio, Indiana and lilinois are responsibie for two-thirds of this deficit. Thishe could not understand. Seventy-fve per cent of the ministers, he claimed, pald no attention whatever to the church extension collection. It was atated in the meeting that 5,000new Methodist Churches had been erectedin this country during the past alx years. The discussion of the subject occupied the entire day. Stanley's Career.

The annual election of directors of the St. Louls Agricultural & Mechanical Association was held atthe office of the association to- Gay, the polla opening at 9 o’clock in the morning and closing at ] o’clock in the after- noon. Messrs. Charlies A, Farris, Joseph P. Whyte and E. Morris acted as judges and clerks of election, but they had very little to do, the votes cast representing nearly all pooled stock in the bands of Messrs. Charlies Parsons, L. M. Rumsey and John T, Davis, the trustees of the stockholders, who were recently elected for a term of ten years. The total number of shares is 8,385 and the trustees hoid 1,700 of them, or a majority. Their ticket was elected without opposition and was composed of the following weil- koown citizens: L. M. Rumsey, O. C. Mafftt, A. B. Ewing, Alvah Mansur,.W. R. Allen, R. C. Kerens, Rolla Welljs, C. D. McLure, Ellis Walnwright, W. F. Nolker, D. R. Francis, James Greene and John W. Turner. The new members in the board will be Gov. Francis, Gen. Turner, Mr. Maffitt and Messrs.

The outgo- ing members retire of their own volition, having refused te serve on the board any longer. GEN. TURNER TO BE PRESIDENT. The new board will meet next Tuesday and elect Gen. Turner as President of the Fair Association to succeed President Green. He is Mr. Green’s choice for the position and the entire Board of Directors was, infact, of Mr. Green’s selection. **The trustees asked me to select a ticket,’’ said Bir. Green this afternoon, ‘‘and I named the gentlemen who have been elected, and if I do say it myself, Idon’t think a better board could haye been selected by anyone. You may say, too, forthe information of some people that never seem to De uble to get things richt, instead of my being forced into this thine, the whole scheme of placing the management in the hands of trusteés was my own work, first suggested by me and carried out by me. Infact nothing could have been done without my vote. This new board elected to-day cauld sot have been elected without my vote, so it Is folly to say that I was forced out. Mr. Withnell, too, declined to serve again, as did the other directors who were not re-elected. The old board was har- monious andthe new one willbe. No, Mr. Mansur wiil mot be my successor. The new President will be Gen. John W. Turner, and |! don’tthink thata better man could be named for the position. As to who will be Mr. Withnell’s successor as Secretary I can’t say, but the _ selection will be a good one. As in the past, so in the future new attractions will be added to the Fair Grounds from time to time, but again you may say for the benefit of certain people who seem to know more about my own affairs than Ido myself, that no change will be made except what I recommend,.’’ Tre pooled stock voted at to-day’s election is all owned by the members of the old Board of Directors excepting forty-two shares held by Charlies P. Che uteau, THE NEW PRESIDENT. Gen. Jonn W. Turner, whois to be the new President of the Fair Association, is well and favorably known in St. Louis.

He was the first Street Cdm- missioner of St. Louis under the oity’s new charter, and Jeld the position under several administrations. Althougha Repubilcaa in politics, he received his first appointment in the spring of 1877 from Mayor Overstolz, and after serving six years under him was re- tained by Mayor Ewing and afterwards by Mayor Francis,and would still be a member of the Coard of Public Improvements, but for his voluntary resigzation a couple of years azo. His confirmation by the Council was se- cured in every instance by Democratic votes, and, with the exception of City Oounselor Bell, he was atthe time of his retirement the only man atthe head of a department of the city government who had been retained in office by every Mayor and City Council since the adoption of the scheme and charter.

THE FINANCIAL STATUS. A FAVORABLE BANK STATEMENT CAUSES STOCKS TO HOLD THEIR OWN. ‘* Hieavy Cevering Done by the Short Iaterest ¥ —Effectef the Railread Meeting te Be Meld on Menday—Attitade ef the Chicage & Alten—Stecks Close Firm. NEw YorK, Dec. 13, HIS morning the tone of the market was de- cidedly firmer, and there was a marked upward tendency. The approaching meeting of railroad presidents, which takes place on Mon- ‘i\day, and the avowed determination of those interested to put an endtothe destructive competition and rate- cutting that has had muchto do with the recent decline in Aprices has had an en- = |couraging effect upon ==TG f. investors and has done much to strengthen the market. Gossip in reference to the position of the Chicago & Alton is rifeon thestreet. Much depends upon the course pursued by this line, and many go so faras to assert that no association of whica it is not a member can have the smaliest chance of success. Others belleve that the road cannot afford to occupy an isolated position and will be bound to join in anyagree entthatis made. It is said thata prominen, @hicago & Alton official stated that there was nothing for his road in any agree- ment as to rates,and that it would not attempt to enter into one. Ose the other hand it is asserted that assurances have been given that whatever may be deciied upon wiil be adepted by the Chicago & Alton. Forthe first time inthe history of the Wesiern railroads the Wali street financiers are to be alloweda voice in their management, and exceilent re- suite are expected from this change of policy. By some the rise inp prices is ascribed toa disposition to squeeze the bears, who bave placed themselves in ap assailabie posi- tion, and it is predicted that when this is over that quotations will retrograde. Trading is oh emmnad professional, the outside buyers eing conspicuous by their apsence, and etrength of meny of the best postec men on the street are of the opipion that the market, as it exists, is artificial. MONEY EASIER. The placing on the marketof a large amount oftheir money enabled the bulis to operate more effectively than they have dene for some time past and the knowledge that next week the Majestic will arrive with $5,000,000 In gold has had an e2- cellent effect on the market, coupled with the knowledge that more will besentif required. The commercial! situation fe still watched with absorbing Interest, as it is acknowledged on all sides that the suspension of a few impor- tant firms would most effectually check the upward tendency of prices. lLankers state that it is hoped that the further issue of ciear- ing-house certificates to carry large amounts will not be neceesary. A London @ispatch received this morning in Walistreet says: A broker failed here to-day with heavy liabilities. lie was a large trader in American railway securities. A LARGE FIRM ASSIGNS. Mr. Frank H. Welsh of the firm of Welsh & Lea, manufacturing machinists of Philadel- Phia, eagainset whom an execaotion was yesterday entered upon a judgment note for $40,000, said late last night that the frm would probably make a general assignment for the benefit of all crediters to-day, and that by the advice of counsel, no other information would be given at present, as it might jeopardize other inter- este. Thereasons given for the fallure were that business had been very du!!l for some time pastand that the firm had been unable to make collections. No statement of assets or ilabilities can be made at present. Thetirm is composed of Frank H. Welsh, George H. Lea and Themas Van Antwerp. ee Le The latter became apertner in ifs. Welsh & Lea started the bolt works in i876. About four years ago the firin wentinto the export- ing business and gradually inoreased it to large proportions, while the bolt munufact- uring gradually decreased, the number of employes being reduced from 500to40. They ciaimed acapital of $200,000 inthe Dusiness. They exported hardware, hardwood, wooden- ware and machinery from New York to all points of thejworld. The London branch was managed by Mr. Lea. OPENING PRICES. The news of a failure of an influential operater in London who was largely interest- ed im American stocks, and especialiy Union Pac:fic and St. Paul, Cust a shade upen the market for securities this morning, and firet prices allover the list were tower than those of last evening, generaliy by swall fractions, but Missouri TSacific® wus down 1%; Union Pacific, 145; lLeutavilie & Nashvilie ] per cent and St. Paul &%. The strength ofthis market was iinmediately demonstrated, bow- ever, as the rally was sharp and decided in the early trading, Missouri Pacific rising 1%, Lackawanna & St. Paul, Westera Union and Unien Pacific each %, Rock Ieiand 1, Atchison &% and others smaller tractions. iJhese prices were not fully maintained, but the reaction was slight. These movements were accompanied by eon- siderabie activity in the market, but later ex- treme dullness marked the deal ngs while prices continue tosbhade off slowly and at 11 o’ciock the market was dulland heavy, but stillgeneraily at siight fractions better than the opening prices. A STRONG CLOSE. Money has been easy with all loans at 8 per tent, and ciosed offered ut 3. Bar silver 104. The stock market remained dull after Ill o'clock, but continued heavy also, and further slight losses were sustained, which breught many stocks to the level of the opening figures gain. The dealings were éntirely devoid of eature of interest, bowever, untilafter the issue of the bauk statement, which was favor- able and toe market again became stromg, re- cevering alarge portion of the losses, The close was quiet butfirm, generally at small fractions better than the opening prices. The weekly bank statement sbows the following changes: Keserve, increase, §$3,- 036,725; loans, decrease, $501,600; specie, in- crease, $2,501,800; legal tenders, lucrease, $490,500; deposite, decrease, $177, 700; circula- tion, increase, $19,200. The banks now bold $607, ‘07 in excess of the requirements ef the 26 per cent rule. BUSINESS FAILURES. J. M.

Asad story of an innocent girl, 15 years of age, being led astray by the horde of social lepers, male and female, who infest the vicinity of Sixth and Eim streets, was told to Prosecuting Attorney Dierkes this morning. The girl is Nettie O'Meara, a blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked Irish lass, unusually larveand developed for one of ner aye. Sbe came totnis country from Killiarney with her step-brother, Thomas heane, two years ago, and made ber home with her aunt at 820 Mound street. Sho herself generally useful about house, and according to her Own statement was not asked to work or go Ninety-two roads for the fourth week of outin service, but seeing other girls with spending money she decided to live out and went to work atthe Lindell Hotel. She left her aunt and boarded with a Miss Dottie Sims at 1429 North Second street and when she left the Lindell Hotel to work at Hotel Rozier she began bourding with Mrs. Sling wanger ut 1415 North Second street. Six weeks ago the Sims woman, she said, took her into the ‘*Comique,.’’ alow theater in the rear ofa saloon on the northwest corner of Sixth and Elm streets, kept by a character knows as ‘*Lou’’ Thompson. There she met a Miss Lambert, who is about Nettie’s age. The Lamberts lived over a saloon on Sixth and Market streets, and the mother of thetlambert girl becoming sick, Nettie was engaged to nurse her for $3 a week and board. Asachbildin Ireland Nettie learned several pretty songs, which shesangin an attractive manner and could dance the High- land-fling perfectiv. Falling in with the cir- cle or wen who manaved the pest bole on Sixth etreet,.s they were quick to notice her charms and innocence. She was offered $4 a week to work in the dive and was told she would be given ten cents for every dollar’s worth of beer she sold. She bad seen-barmaids in her native bome and, knowing notbing of the wickedness of the place, she accepted the offer. It was not lony before she went on the stage to sing and dance. She was a drawing card, of course, and received extra com pénsation. She claims to have been imnorapt of the true charactcr of the place or oft Lou Thompson, tbe proprietor, until three weeks ago as she saw nothing out of the way there, ‘Three weeks ago, while asleep in her room, shesays, Thompsou entered and at- tempted to assaulither. In the struggle she secured a beer gluss and drove him outof the room. Thenext dav he gave her a shawi and dress to keep ber from telling of the affair. A few days liater her atep- brother lourned she was inthe piace and told her pot to go there ayain. She remained away nursing Mrs. Lambert untila few duys ago when she returned on a call, werely to look on, and was again assaulted by Thomp- son, she claims. She was in the theater last night when Officer Wilson Saw her and arrested her. This mworning she told her story to Mr. Dierkes, and a warrant was issued against Thompson, charging bim with enticing females away from home under age. The girl has returned to the home of her aunt on Mound street. Mra. Winsiew’s Svothing Syrup for Chil. Gren Teething cures wind colic, diarrhea, &e. 25c bot. HVIEL PER: ONAL>. C. H.

Deo. 18.—Henry W. Marshall, the ybung Nashua farm band who figured as the victim of a mysterious murder case last Beptembor, appeared in the fiesh yesterday for the first time since then. His rival in love, Harry Davis, was accused of murdering Mar- shall and was sentto jail untila letter from the missing lad proved that be was alive. The case had many suspicious features which were explained by Marshalito-day. After the pur- chase of the revolvers on the night they dis- appeared, Marshall said: ‘*Then we started for home, Davis taking my revolver and put- ting itin his pocket. He loaded his own and began firing it. We had not gone very far when wesawacgirisittingina window. The curtain was upand inthe isamp light the in- terior of the house was plainly seen. The girl hearing us approach turned her face toward us and without a particie of hesitation Davie raised bis revoiver and fired. It was sucbashort distance thatI was almost cer- tain that the bullet had hit the girl and so was Davis, for he started to run and without thought of the consequence I followed him, When we had wone fully an eighth of a wile we stopped and Davis said: ‘Il guess we areln forit. I think I shot the girl.’ T sald it was a cowardly act and 1 would expose him to the police. He said he guessed I would not ashe was geing away and then he put the muzzie of bis revolver acainst my head and toid me to give him all the money I had eft. Ifelc that he meant business and so I com- piled. When my money was in his pocket he allowed me to go on, keeping me covered with the weapon until we discovered the presence of a map on the road just behind us. I called for heip once thinking to attract bis attention. Davis, who is naturaliy « coward, knew he could aot fire at me with safety then and thinking that perhaps he had hit the girl at whom he had flredand that he was being chased by an officer he said: ‘If 1] give you back your money will you keep quiet?’ Isaidinreply that if he did not give me back money I would call for help. He theo gave me the cash, aud thinking I would leave lim he walked rapidly abead for a short distance and jumped over a stone wall into a pasture. Davis fired at me three times, the shots being soclose that I heard them whistiing by my head. As I ras I began to getirigbtened. Ilthoughtif Davis haa killed anyone they might arrest me, sol conciuded ] would not be taken prisoner. I walked tbrough the woods indirection of the tarm house wherellived. It was my intention to et tho rest of my money, but while was hiding in the woods I heard a voice, and tnought it must come from the police. Inrealty ss Ihave learned two of the farm bands were just coming home, Their entrance at the back door was the cause of my alarin. Witheut stopping to get my inoney or clothes! ran back intothe woods andtherespent the migiit. Irealized thatlI was perbaps afugitive fromthe law, though innocent. All night I waiked and toward morning reached Tyngshore,where I penned a few lines to my brother and took the first train for Lowell,where I disguised myself and secured work here under an assumed name.’’ Marshall denies that he and Davis were rivaisforthbe band of Miss Marehall.

Aaron was sentenced to three years inthe penitentiary and the jury bung onthe question whether the brother should be banged or imprisoned for life. Thies did not satisfy the community, and the ee perhteng d agent only succeeded in getting them away by slipping them across the river. Taylor’s Sure Cure, cures Sick Headache. Jacetious Burgiars.

THE BROWNS’ PRESIDENT SENDS PRESI- DENT THUEBMAN A FUNNY TELEGRAM. Butthe Base Bali Situation Still Remains Unsettled—The Suspension of Bicycle Race Men Causes Treuble Between the A. A. U. and L. of A. W.—A Big Billiard Teurney—General Sportiog News. EW YORE,Dec. 13.—Nothing much but base ball talk was heard in the lobby of the Fifth Avenue Hotel yester- day. There seemed little else but talk, however, as practi- cally nothing more toward a settlement had been done by the association magnates than on the day pre- vious. During the afternoon President ly Thurman received an- Other telegram from Von der Ahe, saying’ **Go it, old ‘Whitewings.’ You're all right.’’ In the morning Geo. K. Fraser of the Syra- cuse Club was invited into Mr. Thurman’s room, where that gentleman and Mr. Barnie hadatalk with him. Although Mr. Fraser had practically named a price for retiring at the conferemce the day wvefore, he refused yesterday to place a figure on bis retirement, telling them that he thought they, on behalf ofthe association, ought to first make an offerto him. The meeting broke up without anything being done. President Thurman had made an appoint- ment to meet Gen. Brinker of the Rochester Club early yesterday afternoon, but the former did not put in an appearance until 5:30 o’clock. He had been called to court, as acase in which he was interested was on. When he did arrive at the Fifth Avenue Hotel he was ail smiles, and for once base ball matters seemed to cause him no trouble. ‘*I won my suit,’’ be said. ‘‘Isn’t that enough to make anybody, even a base ball man, bappy?’’ Gen. Brinker, becoming wearied of waiting, started for home at 4 o’cleck without any- thing regarding Rochester having been fixed up. President Thurman said he was ex- tremely sorry, butthat his lawsuit bad to be attended to without regard to base ball. Be- fore leaving, Gen. Brinker gave it out that he had lost $18,000 to $20,000 on the season. He is looking tothe Association to make good that money, whether he retires or not. It seems that he bas an agreement with that or- ganization whereby it promisesto defryy ail the losses of the Rochester Club for the past season. Whenthe effort wason foot to get Rochester to go into the Association, that city was wanted so badly in orderto fll up their circuitand ectasaleverin getting Syracuse to jump the International League traces, that hiessre. Whittaker, Von derAhe and Lazaraus, members of the Finance Committee, signed a paper to the effect thatshould the club lose any money by joining the Association it would be made good. This proposition Gen. Brinker bit at, ana now he is whistling for his money. He will probably shout forit a long time, if statements by the Association poople amourt to anything. * Ward and Giassceck. President Day efthe New York Ball Club was asked the other day whether any dispo- sition had been made of Ward. ‘*‘No, not yet,’” he answered, ‘*‘Will you play him at short instead of Glasecock?’’ ‘*‘No. I prefer Glasscock, altbough I have no personal feeling against Ward.’’ ‘*Suppose the other players ebject to play- ing with Glasscock?’’ ‘*ITdon’tthink they will. play ifthey don’t want to. will not be compelled to.’’ ‘*-Who wlll play third base, Denny or Whit- ney?"’ ‘*That cannot be anewered now. If Donny plays asonly he can, he will be a fixture; otherwise not.’’ ‘*Bhut haven't you a three-years’ with Denny?’’ **Yes, but that does not bold unless he plays up to expectations.’’ Mr. Day said thatany player failing to play standard base ball would go.

New YORK, Dec. 138.—William Lakeland again officiated as starter at Clifton yesterday and did miserable work. There was much complaint over the start in the fifth race, St. Paris, the favorite, being the last horse and away tothe rearof Gardner, who got away first. Of course, the favorite was neverin the race. Al Farrow was a big favorite in the fourth race, but was not one, two, three. Charges were made that Stoval, who rode bim, did nottry to win.

Trying Crack Athletes. The Committee on Protests of the Amateur Athletic Union held a meeting at the Grand Union Hotel last night, says the New York Tribune. Julius Harder was inthe chair and Secretary J. C. Sullivan took the testimony. The cases which came up before the board were those of A. F. Copeland and ©. A. J. Queckberner of the Manhattan Athletic Club and J. S. Mitchell and A. Nickerson of the New York Athietic Ciub. Protests were en- tered against these men atthe athletic meet- ing held at Washington on Oct, 11. Copeland was charged with being a pro- fessional, and Mitchell, the giant weight- thrower, wus said to have been iustructor to the Princeton College students at a stipulated salary. It was said that Nickerson was not amember of the New York Club when he competed inthe games. Miuch testimony was produced to show that all the athletes were pure and nobie and with- onta taint of professionalism. Some of the evidence seubnritted was not so flattering. The committee finally decided to adjourn the meeting in order to esecure new testimony. The charges against Mitchell will amount to nothing. Tne A. A. U. and L. ef A. W. Serious trouble is brewing in tho little world inhabited by amateur athletes, enysathe New York Tribune. If heroic measures are not taken the disturbance may have a serious ef- fect upon amateur sport ail over the country. Intercilub wranules are many, and an open revolt between the Amateur Athletic Union and the League of Aimerican Wheeimen seems imminent. A. A. U. officiais say that the wheeimen bave stepped out of bounds, and thatthey are meddiing with A. A. U. affuirs with too free a band. Whentbe League of American Wheelmen first suspended some ofthe bicyclists the A. A. U. said nothing; in fact it indorsed the ac- tion. The Wheelmen suspended its riders for breaking Its own rules. This was proper. Afterward, however, itshowed a disposition, to meddle withthe A. A. U. rules, and the i.tter organization naturaliy resents such in- terference. A meeting between committecs from the warring factions will soon be heid, and further trouble may be avoided. Tue New York Athletic Club proposes to take a band in the fight, as the names of many of ite members appear upen the Diacklist ef suspended. The New Jersey Athietic Club will figut for its great rider, Zimmerman. Said one of the officers of the club yesterday: ‘*The suspension of Zimmerman was an out- rage. There never was a more bonest feliow onawheel. Zimmerman never sold a race and never gota dishonest cent. Once he had won three races, and a less speedy friend re- marking the fact, said: ‘Zim, you have got three prizes; let me get thisoue.” He did so. That was geverous, but it was not dis- honest.’’ T. A. Zimmerman, the father of the bright young bicycle rider, recently expelled by the League of American Wheelinen, has written a letter to Bowman Yourg,Zimimerman’s whee! partner and chum, in which he says: **l believe my son strictly honest and true in all his undertakings. I have never known bim to be guilty of a mean or aishonest act in all my life; and I propose to stand by him and see that justice is done. I know Mr. Sullivan, the Secretary of the ia; oo knows my fon; I know that he will stand by bim and sift this watter to the bottom. I can only tender Dir. Sullivan my heartfelt thanks, and trust that be will stand by the boy in everything that is right and just only, as my boy’s reputation and honor are atstake. Iwill spare po ex- pense to have justice done the boy; and all expenses which may be ineurred in his bonest defense may be charged to me, and I wiil pay the same, as a devoted father should.’’ Brenpan’s Identity. A Chicago telegram says: The public has not forgotten the death of pugilist Billy Bren- nan at Battery Don the nicht of the 3d of July last, in aglove contest with Fraok Garrard. He fell and struck his head, and he never re- covered conscilv usness. All that was knewn of him was that he had given his name as Iijily Brennan of Brook- lyn. After his dcath ‘‘Parson’” Davies went to Brooklyn and searched a week without finding a trace of the dead fighter’s relatives. Brennan’s body was buried bere. Recent Gevelopments seem to indicate that the dead fizhter was Jacob Adams of Cleve- land, O. Two years ago Adams ieft bis father’s home and went to Battle Creek, Mich. His father wes Wm. Adams, a shoe- maker at No. 205% Ontario street, Cleveland. From Battie Creck Adams went to South America, and then to California. Later he drifted to Chicago. Sporting Notes.

Those who have used them will buy no other brand. SOLE AGENTS FOR ALL MARKETS. SAML C: DAVIS & CO. CLARK AVENUE CLOSING PROPSRTY OWNERS SUGGFST PLANS FOR BRIDGING THE. THOROUGHFARE. The Latest Suggestien Made—Reconstruc- tien of Sixth Street—Unimpertant Meet- ing of the Assembly—Forest Park Priv- lleges—City Hall Matters, The project of building a bridge or viaduct over Clark avenue in the rear of the new Union Depot has not been abandoned, and those interested in doing as much as possible stillhave hope of devising a practical plan. One of these was submitted to the bridge en- gineer, Mr. Carl Gayler, by a member of the Council, and Mr. Gayler immediately went to work on it. To understand the idea of this plan one must first have an idea of the lay of the land. The portion of Clark avenue to be cut off by the bridge@xtends from Eighteenth etreet to Twentieth street. On the south side of Clark avenue, at the. intersection of Eighteenth street,the Eighteenth street bridge begins. To the west Clark avenue makes an offset at Twentieth street sa@ that the center line of Clark avenue westof Twentieth is 163 feet south of the center line of Olark avenue east of Twentieth street. Having these conditions the plan devised was to build east from Twentieth and Clark avenue to the Eighteenth street bridge. This would make a sort of L shaped bridge bDranch- ing from the Eighteenth street one. Mr. Gayler made outa plat of the territory with the grades and elevations, and says thatit can’t be done. To begin at Twentieth street and get twen- ty-three feet elevation to the bridge with a decent grade would require a distance of 500 feet forthe approach. This 500 feet would be directly in the territory ofthe tracksfor the new depot, so that the bridge cannot be com- menced at Twentieth street. It is perfectly practicable, however, to go west 3800 or 500 feet andthen start the ap- proach. But, as Mr. Gayler says, the indefin- ite element of damages would again arise and make the structure avery costly affair. It seems, however, to be the only solution of the problem worth considering. As to the cost, there is but one wayof relieving the city of that, and that isto demand from the railroads ap equitable compensation for the streets and alleys vacated for their benefit. In this way a large partof the morey could be obtained and the rest would be comparatively easy. Reconstructien of Sixth Street. The property ownors in the vicinity of Sixth street, between Carr and O’Fallon streets, sent representatives to call upon Maj. Murphy to talk to him aboutthe reconstruc- tion of that street. The proposed recon- struction is with granite, but the proper owners are desirous of having gum woo bioeks substituted for granite, as the wood is very much cheaper and will be just as ser- viceable at that point as granite.

Both branches of the Municipal Assembly held regular meetings last night. The busi- ness seemed rather dul! atter the excitement of the pumping engines fight and everything savored of routine. Secretary Metcalfe of the Council has been compelled to stand a goed dealo? guying for a break he made at the meeting of the Coun- cll. There were at the last mesting some forty public improvement bills sent over, ail of which are very dary reading. They came late and were not read on Tuesday. Last night it appeared upon the reading of the minutes of the pre- vious meeting that these bilis had been given first reading. Mr. Nelson objected, and upon inquiry it was found that the bilis had not been read. Secretary Metcalfe then weakened and Instead of Dinffing the thing through, ad- mitted thathe had notread them. So the forty-two bills were hauled out andthe sec- retary compelied to ge over the whole lot of them. ln the House of Delegates seventy-five im- provement bills were passed, some drinking fountains authorized anda few winor mat- ters disposed of. Theo Forest Park Privileges. The grab for the Forest Park privileges has narrowed ddun toa scramble between three bidders, Harry Harrie, Chas. Sehweickart and o . if either shoulda get it the other would not be a loser by the transaction, and in course of time the liquor prohibition would be madea dead letter through a club scheme of some sort. On the other band, with the liquor privileges barred, the bidders could getthe otner privileges ata much lower figure, and in the end get the advantage of the city. Judging from the style of establishments conducted by some of the bidders it is ques- tlonable if the establishments they would set up in the park would be exactly suited for a resort to be frequented mostly by women and children. The matter is now in the hands of one of the best committees in the Council and is being very carefully considered but as the contract will probably be for ten years too much caution cannot be observed.
