Bunrurxarox, Ie., Feb. 27.—From what has been learned since the arrest of William Howard on suspicion of being connected with the murder or J.E. Joachim, the Chicago pawnbroker, and from the circumstances fending to that urrest, there seems to.be no doubt that the murder was committed by a band of pilferers and burglars who have been plying their trade in this vicinity for some time past, and that some of them at least had connection with or were known to de- ceased or his friends. After the death of Joachim the police here received a dispatch giving a description of Howard, saying he was afflicted with sore eyes, wore green goggles, and lived in a hollow near the railroad. Where this dispatch came from the police do not say, but cnough is known toleave no doubt that it was from Chicago. The police did not know of any one in this vicinity answering the description given in the dispatch, and their seurch failed to discover any such individual, untila few days agoa young man was arrested for burglary. At his trial be wished subpoenas issued for Miss Jennie Howard and Mrs. Hattie Hunt, 2 sister of Jennic, by whom he expected to prove his innocence. ‘The police were struck'by the similarity of the names of these witnessesand that of the mun they were looking for as the murderer of Joachim. On oing tothe place where the two Witnesses lived, it, tco, answered to the descrip- tion of Howurd’s residence as given in the dispateh, the house being situated in a deep eully in the southern part of the city, not more than a block from the railroud-track. On going to the house to serve the subpen, the prisoner, Howard, cume to the door, and the otlicers in- uired if Howard lived there. He asked, * ‘What foward?” The oflicer replied, ‘George How- ard.” The young man said that was not his came. He wore neither green goggles nor did he seem to be afilicted with sore eyes. One of she officers said they were looking for the How- ard who wore green glasses. This stagxered aim, and, as he afterwards ex ressed it, “\nocked him endways.” The police, feeling sure that be was their man, subsequently ur- rested him. Since bis arrest he acknowledges having been over the river on the night preced- ing the assault on Joachim, saw the parties who committed the assault and robbery and saw one of the purty try the club with which Jouchiin was eaten on a tree to test its strength. He claims, however, to have recrossed the river and re- turned home before 4 o'clock in the morning. ihe police have no doubt that he was present at the time, and was a party to the murder. On tne house being searched it was found to bea regular storehouse of a miscellaneous assort- Taent of stolen goods, including jewelry, cloth- ing, silks, ribbons. boots and shoes, tobacco, ci- gurs,and grain. A quantity of boots and shoes and leather have also been fuund secreted on the other side of the river, near the scene of the nssault on Joxchim. ‘Chese goods have proba- bly been taken from cars, or were brought here from other points. It would scem from all this that Joachim'’s coming here was in accord- ance with a previous understanding, and that he had been given a description by which he could find and know his man. It would also seem that the murder and robbery was planned Lefore hiscoming. ‘The two men arrested last night, mention ‘of which ‘was made in the dispatch from here, are believed to belong to the which Howard seems to have been the chief. but Whether directly connected with the murder is not known. Howard has served a term in the Tilinois Penitentiary for a ‘burglary committed at Monmouth some four years ugo, and came to this city after his term exp! ARREST OF A WRETCH.

The Abseonding Syracuse Insurance Agents Arrested in ‘This City. Officer Becker, of the Syracuse police force, ‘hhas been in this city for several days past look- ing after David Waterbury and Peter Yorkey, two scions of well-to-do families in that city, who recently absconded from home some $4,000 in debt, in order to escape arrest and prosecution for forgeries upon the Salt Spring National Bank. With the as- sistance of Detectives Londergan and Murnane, of the city force, the men were yesterday capt ured and turned over to Olficer Becker, who will start with them for home to-day. Both ex- pressed their sorrow at running away, and still greater sorrow at being captured, but they quietly concluded to put a comfortable phase Gpon the alfair by volunteering to uccompany the officer without # requisition or other papers. Messrs. Yorkey and Waterbury are stylish young ‘men, such as one night find in sporting society. They conducted xn Insurance business, or rather misconducted such a business, for a Short time in Syracuse, and managed to swindle every one who had any dealings with them. Finding themselves running. short of funds in spite of thoir crookedness, the) did not hesitate to swindle their parents,—one his father and the other his mother. This, it is said, constitutes the charge of forgery. The money they speut in fast life. ‘The manner of their capture was somewhat peculiar. In some way the detectives were led to believe there was a reward of $50 each for their capture, and they were all anxious to get the ensh. One of them picked up in the streets a young man recently from Syracuse, but found gon comparing bim with the photographs oF ‘the men on file gat Central Station that he was not the man. “He knew both Yorkey and Waterbury. and knew another Syracuse ‘man who bad recently seen them in this city. ‘The fact that the men were here being set- tled, the officers made ensy work of capt- uring them, and found they, were room- ing in the house of Dr. Washburne, No. 789 Wabash avenue. But, to the chagrin of the zealous detectives, it was ascertained at the last moment that no reward was ever offered for either of them.

Investigating the Charges of Cut- ting Rates by the Grand’ : Trunk. Grumbling by tho Stock Men—The Pacific Passenger Busi- ness. Branch of the Milwaukee & St. Paul Between Janesville and Beloit. THE HIGH-JOINTS, ‘The “High-Joints” finished their labors last evening. Nearly the entire day was consumed in investigating charges against the Grand ‘Trunk for cutting or Violating the regular tariff rates. The Committee to whom the matter was referred the day previous discussed the subject nll the morning and a part of the afternoon, and at3 o'clock p. m. reported to the general mivet- ing. The report was to the effect that the Com- mittee, although it had obtained no positive proof, was morally certain that the Grand ‘Trunk had been guilty as charged, and ought to be severely censured. The discussion of the re- port took a wide range. The representatives of the Grand Trunk—Mr. J. Morse, Assistant General Freight Agent at Detroit, and Mr. F. A. Howe, General Agent at Chicago— contended that no cutting had been doneto their knowledge, and that ull contracts were made at tariff rates. This, of course, referred to the business done via the Michigan Central, as the above gentlemen disclaimed any knowledge of what had been done by the Northwestern Grand Truck, which is not a member of the Joint Executive Committee, and therefore not amen- able to its jurisdiction. A dispatch from Mr. L. J. Seargeant, Generul Tratfic Manager, to Mr. J. Morse, was read by Mr. Devereaux, in which that gentleman claimed that his road had made ‘no cuts, and did not intend to, but that he had no knowledge of what his Fastern connections heddone. Several gentlemen expressed their belief that Mr. Howe, General Agent at this point, acted fairly and squarely, and that no blame attaches to him, but that it was their honest belief that Mr. Thomas Hoops, Contruct- ing Agent at this point’ of tho ‘Nutional Dispatch.” who seemed to derive his authority from the Central Vermont, had mude special rates or given special inducements to certain shippers. After considerable more talk, it was decided to refer this matter to the trunk-line Presidents for their action. Nothing was said or done about the New Grand Trunk. There seeméd to be a special desire to ignore the ex- istence of this line altogether. It is the generul opinion, however, that the trunk lines will soon find out that there is-such a line in ex- istence. ; It also created surprise that no ection what- ever was taken regurding the alleged cutting of rates by other lines than the Grand Trunk. A. short time ago it was alleged that positive proof was In the hands of certain railroad man- ‘ugers that the Ohio & Mississippi had been cut- ting the rates in conjunction with the Missouri Pacitic, It wus learned lastevening that this mat- ter was privately arranged the evening previous aud the charges withdrawn on the ground that the Ohio & Mississippi claimed that tho cut wus borne by the Missouri Pacific, which wanted to get uhead in its percentages. ‘The same nction was probgbly taken in regard to the charges against the other roads. It seemed to be x studied purpose of the Committce to whom the matter of violations in rates was referred to ignore all charges against‘ other ronds than the Grand Teun and make it appear that the latter alone had caused all the troubles which the eust- bound pool bas lately suffered. The uction taken yesterday in no way changes the situn- tion, and the prospects are that the trouble be- tween the Grand ink and'the other roads will assume greater proportions hereafter, with fuir prospects for # serious war on eust-bound rates. The matter of fixing a: basis for percentages of east-bound business ‘from Beardstown, ‘Asblund, cte., next occupied the attention of the meeting. As stated yesterday, the Com- mittee to whom the mutter wasreferred “ recom mended that the percentages from the sbove points be the same as front Bast St. Louis{ and that the Southwestern ‘Railroud Association be requested to namethelr urbitraries to the above points, so as to make uniform rates to seaboard points by way of Chicago or St. Louis.” The roads in the Southwestern Association objected to such un arrangement on the ground that such action was unjust to the lines west of the above-named poinis, as it would compel these lines to curry the business from Missis- sippi River points to Beardstown, Ashland, ete., for nothing. It was tinally decided at yester- day’s meeting that through rates should be quoted from Mississippi River points only on the fusis of 116 per cent of the Chicagorates, and that no through rates be quoted from Ashland, Beardstown, and other interior Hlnvis points, The question of establishing lumber rates trom Western points to the Eust for the fiscal year, commencing April 1, was next taken into considerntion, It was decided that the rates from April 1, 1880, to Oct. #1, 1880. should be on the basis of 30'cents from Chicazo to New York, and from Nov. 1, 1890, to April 1, 188], 35 cents; rutes from Toledo, . Detroit, and Port Ffuron to be based on 75% per cent of the Chica- go rates, An adjournment sine die was then bad. Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed at number of live- the close of the meeting stock shippers, who felt disappointed becaus¢ no netion was taken in regard to live-stock rates. They claimed that a reduction there was more necessary than on any other article. The present rates, 65 cents per 100 or $10 a car, were simply exorbitant, and were doing a great deal of dumage to the trade. In addition to the above charges thoy said the shippers were muleted of about $2 per head by the exorbitant charges made by the proprictors of the various stock-yards. At Chicago they were ebarged $1 per cur for bedding, and, all the bedding they for that price was a fork full of bay thrown the ‘car while the train was moving. In New York $2 was charged for buy for feeding, but it was littie feed the cattle got, and 40 cents ad- Uitional was charged for yarding. In former yeurs the rates were but 30'to 35 cents per 100 pounds, and the extra charges were not near as high, and yet the railroads made a good profit. The great trouble, they say, wriscs from the fuct that many of the prominent railroad managers fre interested in the various stock-yards, which hre a great source of income to them. ‘The ship- ‘ictermined that the rates on live stock ag well a? the high yard and other extra charges shall be reduced, and will leave nothing undone to bring about this end. ‘Mr. John Newell, General Manager of the Lake Shore, and Mr. H. B. Ledyard, General Manager Of the Michigan Central, were not, present at yesterday's meeting. They reccived dispatches from New York Thursday evening to_come to that city at once, 80 as to be there by Saturday. Shortly after receiving the dispatch they started for New York. What the object of this sudden call ishas not transpired. Something important {sup no doubt, but what itis no one can tell at this end. PACIFIC PASSENGER BUSINESS. The matter of prornting the passenger busi- ness from the Pacific Coast is still the all-ab- sorbing question with the passenger agents of the roads interested in that business. Owing to the fight with the Pacifle Mail Steamship Com- pany, the Pacific roads have been compelled to tuke passengers at very low rates. They re- quested the Chicago roads some time ago to pro- rate with them onthe regular basis. This was refused, but they agreed:to prorate on a mileage basis. The Pacific roads would not consent to this, and claimed that they could do better with the St. Louis lines, and, unless the Chicago roads came to terms, business would be diverted via that town. This seems to be true, for a party of 500 emigrants, now on their way to the East, are being taken via St. Louis. Mr. T. L, Kimball3, General Passenger Agent of the Union Pacific, came to tho city a day or two ago to See if some uniform and satisfactory arrange- ment regarding the ubove matter could not be made. Therefore u mecting was held yesterday at the Grand Pacific Hotel, ‘at which the various St Louis and Chicago roads were present, be- sides Mr. Kiunbail, of the Union Pacific, The discussion lasted until after 10 o'clock at night, and Commissioner Fink wns present during 0 part of the time to give his valuable advice. It qwas the general opinion that some action differ- ent from that proposed by the Pacific roads would have to be taken to protect the local traffic of the various reads east of, the Missouri, but how to do it was the problem to be solved. The proposition to charge arbitrary rates east of the Missouri found fuvdr with but few. It was finally ugreed to fix ercentazes for the various ifnes, and fessrs. Myers, Thrall, and Kimball were ap- jointed 2 committee to present figures. The Tumittee got up a schedule, which was pre- sented tothe meeting in the evening and dis- cussed, but final xetion was postponed on ac- count of the absence of Mr. Chariton, of the Alton, who ig not in town. Another meeting Fill have to be held to finully decide the matter. | SOUTIIWESTERN COMPLICATIONS. The managers of the Chicago ronds in the Southwestern Railroad Association helda con- ference yesterday afternoon at the Grand Pa- cific Hotel to consider whether it would be ad- visable to attend the meeting of the Association which js to be held at the Lindell Hotel, March 3. Asalready stated, several of the Chicage roads are determined not to attend any more mectings of the Association until the Missouri Pacific pays over the amout of $31,000, which it owes to some of the Chicago roads on account of having earned that much more than its share in the pooling arrangement. The Missouri Pacitic ses its refusal to py over this amount on tho ground that the debt was contracted under the Garrison management, and the Gould manage- ment, which now controls the road, is not re- sponsible. It is stated and Mr. Gould has signi- tied his intention to be personally present at the St. Louis meeting and find out for himself how the matter stands. Owing to this promise, it was believed that the Chicago roads which hed re- fused to attend the mecting would change their mind and condescend to be present. After con- sidering the matter at yesterday's conference in all its bearings, it was resolved to adhere to the former position and attend no meetings of the ‘Association until the Missouri forks over the amount due the other ronds. IOWA RAILROAD MATTERS. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Des Mornes, Feb. 25.—Several Iowa papers are gathoring flowers to spread on the grave of the Des Moines & Milwaukee Road, and prepar- ing tender condolences to the friends and relatives, but they are in indecent haste; the child is not yet deceused, and has prospect of future health and existence. The President of the road is perfectly sutisfied with the present condition of affairs, and affirms that the road will be built. It only remains for those towns along the line which have yet to vote to give the Ene aid, and the road will be built. The hicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul have notyet said they would. not build the road. It should be remembered that it is only a few months since the project started, anda work which requires Bu expenditure: of several millions is not done in It is now pretty definitly settled that the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul will not extend their road from Monroe to Dubuque, twenty-seven miles. It would uire an immense expendi- ture of money. ‘he matter was before the Directors, and they adjourned, nfter hearing the claims of Dubuque, without action. - Sioux City is muking an offort to have the Des Moines, Adel & Western narrow-gauge extended to that city. It would be x good territory to oc- cupy, but it is understood here the road will run vemhe bil bet he 18 before the Legislature to make the Board of Railroad ‘Conitnissioners elective by the people hus peen chucked under the table. ‘The necessary tax has been voted, and @ con- tract. made with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific to build a branch trom Summit Station on the Keokuk Division to Keosauqua, in Ven Buren.County. : “It is unnounced that the Dubuque & Dakota Road will be built to Clarion,in Wright County, the present season. ; ics, rail, and. other material are now being sent along the Minneapolis & St.Louis from Forest City, and it is expected to have the road finished to Fort Dodge July 1, which will give a direct route from this city toSt. Paul. The Chicago & Northwestern are securing right of way from the point where their route crosses the Central Iowa in. Hardin County, to Skunk River, in Hamilton County. PENNSYLVANIA ROAD. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Prmapetrnta, Feb. 27.—The report of the Pennsylyania Railroad, published to-morrow, will show that the road has done the largest bus! ness ever known for any year since its incorpora- tion at lower rates than ever before, and yet such has been the economy of management thut the cost of transportation and operating ex- penses have been reduced to the lowest rate ever known on any road, and the Company has earned all its fixed charges and 6 per cent on its eapital stock. The net income from the main Line was $7,482,480; an increase of $1,158,015 over last year; andlosson the united railroads of $939,889, a gain of $196,886; leaving a balance, after deducting all payments for sinking fun deficiencies, and trust fund, together with AN per. cent, dividend, of $1,797,191. The’ Company's lines west of Pittsburg show 2 prone over all liabilities and charges of $1,924,088, from which is to be de- ducted a Joss of $141,762 on roads in which the Company is interested xs stockholder or guaran- tor on bonds, leaving $1,682,326 us profit on West- ern lines, a’ gain of $05,806 over the previous year. The net earnings of ull the lines was 32, 722,780,—the heaviest ever known, and $2,906,851 greater than in the previous year. MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Bexort, Wis., Feb. 27.—William H. Sheldon, Chief Engineer in charge, with nine assistants, completed to-day the preliminary surveys for a pranch of the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad between Janesville and Beloit. The route pro- posed leaves the Monroe Division two miles west of Janesville; runs to’ Afton; crosses Rock River two miles below that village, and then makes a direct line to the outskirts of this city, connecting with the Western Union Division about one mile east of the depot. The distance from Janesville depot to Beloit depot is fifteen and one-half miles. BONDING A CITY. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, EVANSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 27.—A petition has ‘been prepared for circulation to-morrow asking the city to subscribe $150,000 to extend the Lake. Erie, Evansville .& Southwestern Railroad to Huntingburg, forty-eight miles distant, with a view to pushing on to the connection with the Ohio & Mississippi at Seymour. The road now runs to Boonville, eichteen miles distant. The subscription will probably be granted. PRESIDENT COLE. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 27.—It is understood that President Cole will tender his resignation to the Directors of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway as soon a3 the business re- ferred to the President and Directors by the stockholders yesterday can be closed up, which it is thought will be done in the next thirty days. ITEMS.. The General Managers and Gencral Freight Agents of the roads interested in the Erie & North Shore Dispatch (Fast Feight) held a. mect- ing at the Grand Pacific Hotel yesterday after- noon for the purpose of electing 2 new General Manager for that line in place of Mr. J. W. Smith, resigned. After a short discussion it was decided to leave the office vacant until the next monthly meoting of the representatives of the line. . ‘The General Freight Agents of the roads lead- ing from St. Louis to points in Kansas and Texns held a meeting a day or two 2go at St. Louis to consider live-stock rates from points in Texas, Indian Territory, and Southern Kansas for the coming season. It was decided,to notify the fepresentatives of the North ‘Wexas Stock- ftaisers’ Association that rates would be firmly maintained on the same basis that was in effect last season. Mr. F. Broughton, General Manager of the Treat Western of Canada, was questioned yes- terday by a2 Trimone reporter rej ding the rumors that his road was negotiating with the Grand Trunk to use its new Chicago extension from Port Huron to Chicago as its Chicago out- let. Mr. Broughton would neither contirm vor deny the rumor. But, judging by his remark that his rond had to take care of itself and pro- tect: its interests, it is fair to presume that the rumor is correct. ‘The General Passenger Agency of the Missouri Pacific haying been tendered to a number of General Passenger Agents of other'roads, and declined by all of them, it is now, stated that efforts are being made to have Mr. F. E. Fowler, late General Passenger Agent, reinstated. The roud would certainly do ercdit to itself and benefit its interests by reappointing Mr. Fowler, who is considered as able and reliable a Passen- ger and Ticket Agent us there is anywhere, and he knows the business and wants of the’ Mis- souri Pacific better than any other mun. ‘The representatives of the roads interested in the coal business from Buffato to Chicago held a meeting yesterday ut the Grand Pacific Hotel to estubiish coal rates for the coming season. The roads represented at the meeting were the Grand Trunk, the Canada Southern, the AMichi- gan Central, and the Lake Shore. It was de- cided to charge on and after April 1, $1.75 per ross ton from Buffalo, Suspension Bridge, und finek Rock to Chicago. The rate last summer was $1.25 per gros ton, making an advance this year of 50: per gross ton. This advance wus made in anticipation of higher lake rates this seuson than prevailed lust. Should the hopes for high lake rates be disappointed and the lake competition be more active than is an- ticipated, it is very likely the railroads will make a reduction in the new rate. ————__—_- A Phenomenon. Salt Lake Tribune. Friday evening Mr. Fred Walker concluded to have # breakfast of fish; accordingly bought fourteen specimens of that tinny tribe popularly known as “cat-tish.” During the night the jmembers of the tumily were alarmed by noises {it the kitchen. It was plain that some commo- tlon was occurring in that important depart- ment of the house, und an investigation us to the causes was determined upon. The cat-tish, which he. had bought stil und cold 2s icicles, were flopping around the floor at a lively rite, evidently doing their best to xain their natural element. The explanation of this strange oc- currence Is to be found in the fuct that the fish were simply frozen. After placing them near the stove and mving them a chance to thuw out, they resuscitated and became the liveliest dead fish on record. What ndds to the strangeness of the phenomenon is the distance the ish have traveled and the time they have been suffering from the cold weather. They were caught in the Sacramento River, and have been out of water for at jeast four days’ During: these days they have been frozen stiif, and one would judge the fish had as many lives us the animal after which they are named. The fish were placed in water and yesterday taken to the Jordan River and thrown in the sacred waters. It is to be hoped that should. any one catch any of the horned fellows he will throw them back, such being the request of Mr. Walker, |‘ SAN FRANCISCO. A Quieter Feeling in Business Circles and at the Sand- Lots. Kalloch Applies a Little Oily Elo- quence to the Troubled Waters. The Situation Assumes a Ludi- crous Aspect at Sacra mento. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. San Francisco, Feb. 27.—The precautionary measures telegraphed you last night have ap- parently stopped all blatant demagogic threats of hanging, arson, and lawlesness. It is the gen- eral opinion that Kalloch’s advice this afternoon to the Sand-Lotters to stop their gatherings will be followed, and there seems no likelihood of the vigilance organization being called out for duty. Even at Sacramento the measuresadopted here have had a good effect, Kearney and other obstructionists of the legitimate business of the Legisiature having been unceremoniously put down and out. : ‘The cause of the recent large outflow of coin trom here is largely attributable to the fact of all persons in California being assessed, under the new Constitution, according to the value of their possessions on the Ist of Bfarch. This also is one of the great reasons of the depression in mining stocks, whereas the mining situation is now better than for four years. California capitalists are as desirous as ever to escape paying heavy taxes. ALL QUIET. To the Western Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 27.—Last night was exceptionally quiet. The workingmen held no meetings, except a few minor ward-elub gather- ings, as is customary, and the papers this moru- ing ure also bare of news in connection with the agitation, although abounding in editorials on the subject, the general tenor of which is ex- pressive of confidence in the preservation of peace. The unemployed held another meeting at the Sand-Lot this afternoon and were addressed by Mayor Kalloch, who told them that while their grievances are real and their talk for the most part sensible, yet a continuance of such guther- Ings only afforded opportunity for the utterance of ill-timed expressions likely to retard rather than advance the objects in view; that a judi- cious committee would be appointed with whom he would freely confer, and to whom he would report progress if any was made in the way of relief, and in the meantime the mectings had better be dispensed with, subject to the call of u committee. This was satifactory to the crowd, and no more meetings will be held for the present. CARD FROM KALLOCH. ‘The Bulletin this afternoon published a card from Mayor Kalloch, in which, after justifying his own course as fur as the peace, safety, and best interests of the city are concerned, he gocs on to acconnt for the present excitement on the ground of misrepresentations and misunder- standing of parties. He says when the Board of Heulth declared Chinatown a nuisance the cry was raised that there would be slaughter and bloodshed. As a matter of fact, the working- men were satisfied with the action of the Board of Health, and would see it properly carried out; but the ery of Vigilance Committee had been , and the Sand-Lot angrily re- sponded, and the city was — thrown into needless agitation. He had urged the action of the Bourd of Health for one rea- son, that it would take the Chinese question out of the hands of the Sand-Lot agitators and give it to an ‘organization in whose conservative character the community would have coni- dence. The only danger to the city was trom busy and willful cusropeecenieuny. and for these he held the Chinese Six Companies and the Chronic mainly responsible. ‘After some reference to personal matters, he closes by saying that neither his own utterances nor those of Kearney or of the speakers on the Sand-Lot are to be understood as the voice of the Workingmen’s party, which can .only be heard through the clubs speaking in union and emphasized by the Bourd of Ward Presidents. ‘The Post xlso publishes a card from the May- or, in which he discinims the idea that the pres- ent agitation is of a Socialistie or Communistic canracter, except perhaps in the case of a few individunis, certainly not as regards himself and the overwhelming majority of the Working- men’s party. FUN IN SACRAMENTO: To any the seat of war has been removed from this city to the Assembly Chamber in Sac- ramento, where it hns assumed 'a serio-comic ns- ect. Since bis return from-the East Denis <earney has been making himself very officious about the Legislature, log-rolling, ete., inside the bar. ‘Thisled to a motion yesterday, evi- dently aimed’ at Kearney, to exclude all. but privileged memers from the floor of the Assembly. After adjournment, Kearney. approached Adams. of Sonoma, and used threatening language towards him ‘on account of his uction on the motion. To- day Tyler, of Alumeda, offered a resolution to exclude Kearney from the Assembly Chamber and from the galleries, lobbies, balls, commit- tee-rooms, etc., under control of the Assembly. Tt was referred to a special committce, who, after hearing the evidence, decided to report that Kearney had been guilty of an attempt to intimidate Adams. Besides this there was 2 very lively passage in the Assembly to-day over arother matter. A few days ago Maybell, a Workingman member of. the Assembly, telegraphed to Kearney: “We hear you are erecting gallows on the Sund- Lot. There is more nt ‘of erecting gallows in Sacramento. Come up immediately and bring some hemp.” ‘The telegram found its way into some of the yore To-day a resolution was introduced to inquire into the matter, iu the course of which avery Hvely discussion ensued, during which Braunhart, Workingman of San Francisco, tlat- ly refused to obey the order of the Speaker. to sit down, and wns brought to the _ bar of the House and suspended three. days. Subsequently when the Kearney question cume up, Braunhart appeared on the tloor and de- manded the right to vote, and the Speaker or- dered him removed as an intruder. CASUALTIES. DROWNED. ‘WAUKESHA, Feb. 27.—Amos Smith, an old tesi- dent of Pewaukee, and former partner of Will- jam Blair, of this village, was drowned while fishing through the ice on Pewaukee Luke on Wednesday. Three men were near when the ice broke with Mr. Smith, but were so much fright- ened that they mude no effort to save the unfor- tunate man. KILLED BY CARS.

Disease, pueu- monia. — ‘An Indian Turkish Bath. Harper's Magazine. Tf cleanliness is next to godliness, the foulness of the Indian is bis greatest sin. A peculiar and disagreeable odor pervades ¢ z longs to them, although much of itis due to other causes thin personal filth.

Having been a great sufferer from Kidney Complaint, I have probably. experienced all the pains ‘and sufferings it is possible for a human being to endure and yet live. Hun- dreds of dollars have I expended employinz the highest medical ability it was possible to obtain. ‘I have visited mineral springs in all parts of the country; I have taken bottle after bottle of prepared or patent medicines; and with all this doctoring I continued to grow weak and emaciated, tntil all hopes of a recovery had left, and I could see the & ualand stealthy steps: of death overtaking ine. I believed I was locked in the grasp of an incurable disease. But, in my last mo- ments of despair, a new treatment wes sug- Bested, by one of my neighbors, a motherly lady, of applying the leaves of a plant ie low lands adjacent tomy me to my back in the region of my ki _ I began almost at onice to experience a feeling of relief. 1t seemed to exert a gen- tle, stimulating effect, and allay the pain in my side, back, and loins. Icontinued the treatment for several days, when I com- menced to pass my urine with ease at regu- lar intervals; my appetite rapidly improved 5 new strength seemed to pervade my shrunk- en and wasted form; and within ten days I was able to ride out. So great was my joy atthis discovery and ultimate complete re- covery, that I commenced to prepare the leaves, quilt them. between cloths, and dis- tribute them among my afflicted ‘friends whom I had met at mineral springs. In every instance letters were returned expres- sive of the profoundest gratitude, acknowl- edging wonderful relief, complete cures, etc. Following this came frequent calls for my Pads,” as they chose to call them, until the demand has necessitated my placing the sale in the hands of the Day Krpxey Pan Co., Toledo, O., who have the facilities to supply the rapidly increasing demand, and place be- fore the afilicted of the world this valvablo and fortunate discovery.
