SENDING FOR THE COMMITTEE. ‘The convention, after adelay of an houror more, grew weary of Waiting for the committee on cre- deatials, and about 10 o'clock the temporary chairman made a unique suggestion. After rap- ping the table vigorously to still the hubbub he | shouted that from information he had received There was no telling When the committee on cre~ | deatials would report. He tueretore suggested that a committee be appotuted to wait upon chem | aad notify them that the convention would not wait much longer. a “I move we give ‘em only fifteen minutes!” shouted one delegate. “I move we reduce it to ten | minutes,” proposed another, and the committee of three was appolated. ‘They’ returned lumediately with the information that the committee were taking a vote und had refused to receive the in- structions of the convention, TRE COMMITTRE REPORTS.

At the Rebellion Records investigation by the House military committee yesterday Representa- tive Grosvenor denied in the most positive way the statement made indirectly in Col Lazetle’s testimony that Grosvenor had got advance sheets of the “Records” from the Printing OMice. He said that there was not a shadow of truth in either the direct statement or the imputation made by Col. Lazelle in his testimony, nor could there be aby shadow or foundation to’ support his statement hor did he believe that any such statement deca made to Lim or anybody else. The whole SOry Was without foundation and entirely unjus- able, Col. Lazelle repiled: “As he denies my testimony toto it 18 between Lieut. Knox and bis God as to wat he said. T have vestitied as to what Lieut, Knox told me.” Mr. Grosvenor modified bis statement, saying that he did not intend to deny that the statement had beeu made to Col. Lazelle. “Do you withdraw all tue rest you have stated?” Col, Lazelle asked, “I correct it,” said Gen, Grosvenor. “I do not withdraw anytiing about it.” “It is a pretty strong statement as you first made {t,” said the colonel, “and I would not allow any one to make 1t.” Gen. Grosvenor explained the position ne took by saying tbat he did not believe that aay such statement had been made to Lieut. Knox as had been charged. Lieut.

Jacob Sharp died at 9:20 o'clock last night at his residence in New York. Bis two daugnters and his grandson, Geo. Sharp, were present. Jacob ‘Saarp was born in Montgomery county, New York, July 6, 1876. Before he was of age his father ied, and young Jacob went to New York to seek his fortune. He began business in a modest way by contracting to furnish timber and logs to builders, and soon proceeded to deal om his own account, The building of piers and bulkheads along East and North Rivers laid the foundation of his wealth, and he was not slow in reacuing out into specu: Jative improvement ventures, His frst successful Venture in street railroading, with which he bas been identified ali his life since, was the construc- Hon of the East River and Dry Dock Railroad. It was away back 1a the Mfties that Jacob Sharp Hirst contemplated the grabbing of Broadway for railroad purposes. Again and ‘again he secured his trancuises from the legislature and aldermen, Which tovariably Was vetoed by the mayors then in office. AL last a Dill was adopted in 1834 and signed by the governor. Sharp approached the OW notorions board of *boodie” aldermen In 1884. In May of that year eight members heid a caucu and agreed to grant the franchise and to find tir teen members to override the mayor's veto, The franchise was passed according toagreement. On 1885, Jacob Sharp rode down Broadway | to the Battery on the first car. Rumors of corrup- | Uon were mie, and a lease of the Broadway hne to to the Seventh-Avenue Railroad for 909 years pre- cipitated a legal inquiry. He was arrested and Datled out in October, 188d, ‘Tue trial began Apri 26, 1887, It Wook nedrly ve weeks and exhausted Bearly 7,800 talesmen to fl the jury box. Oa June 29 Suarp was found guilty of bribe-giving. With a recommendation gf merey from the jury. He was seutenced on July 4 to four years of tx prisonment and to the payment of $5,000. An ap- peal Was then taken, and on November 2 the Court of Appeals granted the application for « new trial. ———-—- 200 Favor ef Reciprocity. INTEREST STRONGZR THAN SENTIMENT—CANADA LOSING HE POPULATION. ‘There are signs of the debate in the Canadian house of commons on Mr, Cartwright’s resolution in favor of unrestricted reciprocity drawing to a close. The discussion was resumed yesterday by Mr. Laurier, leader of the opposition, He said that Canada was losing her population by thous- andsevery year. The conclusion was inevitable that there Was something wrong somewhere, Un- Festricted reciprocity would ve of incalculable benefit to Canadian farmers, Who constituted 70 admitted that under this ai ment Great Britain would be discriminated against. But this Was not a question of sentiment, it was one of @uty; and when it came to standing by Great Britain or by his native land he stood by Canada. [Cheers from the opposition.) No one supposed Uhat the present relationship of C Britain would last forever, and ever Canada chose to stand by herself the separation would take place in peace and friendship. He appealed to those who believed that the world coud not Femain stationary, to the men who beileved that the present position of Canada Was false and dan- ferous, to support Lhe proposal for free trade with the United States, ‘THE RETALIATORY BILL. During the debate Wednesday Sir Richard Cartwright inquirea of the minister of nance Whether the attention of the government had been called to the bill recently introduced in the United States Con; called the “Re. tallatory” Dill, which was likely to effect cer. tain important branches of commerce in Canada. Numerous communications had reached hita Which Showed that there was great uneasiness In the country, Sir Charles Tupper said that the gov- ernwent bad not bad its attention drawn in any special manner to the bill referred to. He had been ed to suppose tbat the bill had been intro- duced under the impression that the government Of Canada Was unwilling to carry out an arra ment which the Government of the United States had expected would follow upon a reduction of Guties If that bill had been Inspired by any such impression, the action Wat the Canadian govern- ment bad taken would entirely remove that im- Pression. He did not mr ar that the bul Would be proceeded with or iL any such action Would be taken by Congress. The policy of both Sides of the house and of both parties in this coun. try had been steadily directed to obtaining a free interchange of the products of the two countries, —s Heating the European Record.

From the Allahabad Pioneer. A recent occurrence in Rajpootana shows the hold that ancient superstitions still have among natives. Some years ogo the native states of Oodeypore and Tonk, with a view of simpiitying thetr boundaries, exchanged certain villages near Neemuch, In this process a village inuabited en- Urely by Brahmins passed trom Qodeypore to the Rawab of Tonk. This village hud been granted in perpetuity to the Brabmins by a former maharana Of Vodey pore, subject only to the nominal annual fee of tWeive rupees for protection, Alter the ex- change the Touk authorities imposed a revenue assessieat, Which Was Talsed from time to time Uil it reached 500 rupees anuuauy. Successive Geputations of the villagers procceded to Tonk to lay the case beiore the durbar, but without eifect, ‘Thereupon the Brahinins #ssembled and decided by the voices of all present, women es weil as men, ‘that potling was left to inove the durbar except the human sacrifice known as “Jobur.” Four wo- men preseuted tuemseives as victims, but at the last moment two became irightened and withdrew, No opposition being offered, the other two went bravely and wilungiy to meet death, and were burned alive in the presence» of the assembled com. munity, their charred uacds being aflerward car- ried by the Villagers to Oodeypore with a demand for redress, ‘This occurred a few weeks ago, and at midday, no attempt at concealment being made, ee Once There Was, From the Nebraska State Journal, Once there lived a man of honor in the balmy ays of old, who believed that right was better than & world of shining goid; through the somber World he journeyed, doing good on every hand; widows biessed him, orphans loved him, and his fame spread through the land.
