At the request of Mr. Harrison Mr. Britton has engaged rooms at the Arlington for the accommodation af the President-elect and his party. The rooms will be in the Johnson annex, and will consist of a parlor, dining-room and the necessary bed-rooms, The party will consist of Gen. Harrison and his wife, Russell Harrison and wife, J. R. McKee, wife and children; E. W. Halford, wife and children and sister. Possibly ex-Senator Saunders and wife, the parents of Mrs. Russell Harrison, will accompany the party. Parlors have been engaged on the second floor front of Willard’s, from which the distin- guished party will view the inangural parade. 't has been the custom for the retiring Presi- dent to meet the incoming President at some point and escort him to the capitol. It is prob- able that the same arrangement will be made this time and that President Cleveland will meet Gen. Harrison at Willard’s. Gen. Harrison has not decided upon the time of his departure for this city. It is con- jectured that he will reach here about a week efore the 4th of March. MILITARY AND CIVIL ORGANIZATIONS COMING. The Harrison-Morton club, of Wilkesbarre, Pa.; the Flambeau club, of Sedalia, Mo.; the Harrison and Morton club, of Findlay, Ohio, have informed the committee of their inten- tion of taking part in the inaugural parade. ‘The Missouri club, of Kansas City, Mo., with 100 men, will attend the inauguration. Geo1 W. McKean, the secretary, in writing to the committee, states that from 500 to 1,000 men belonging to military and civic organizations in Kansas City will take part in the parade, Arrangements have been made through Gus- tave A.

Chairman Britton has received a letter from aman in Dublin, Ireland, and also from a man in the Isle of Wight stating that arrangements are being made for an excursion from those points to the inauguration. They state that a reat many American citizens inthe British sles and others propose to take advantage of this opportunity to attend the inauguration, It is estimated that there will be from 1,000 to 1,500 citizens of Indianapolis who will attend the inauguration. ns ae The Toppey Guards, of Jersey City, will bring to the inauguration some 80 or 100 men. a will be accompanied by a band.

EXPERIENCE OF MRS, NELLIE EVILLE, OF KANSAS CITY. asus City Times. At 9o’clock last night Mrs, Nellie Neville, who had just retired to her room, looked up into the mirror, before which she was seated, and saw a sight which fairly chilled her blood. Just behind her stood aman she had never seen before holding «stone-crushing hammer in both hands above her head. Twice the weapon descended, the blood spattering the marble bureau-piece and mirror. Then the wounded woman sank from the chair upon the floor, while her assailant darted into the hall, down the steps to the first floor, and out upon the street, Mrs. Neville staggered to her feet and tottered down the steps screaming. At the bottom she fell fainting from loss of blood. Those who heard her first ery of alarm saw the man as he hurried ‘ouf of the house. He was well dressed and carried an overcoat thrown across his arm. A Mrs. Foley, who occupies the next room to Mrs, Neville’s, saw him conceal the hammer beneath his coat as he hurried ont. Mr. Neville arrived at the house shortly after the occurrence. He and his wife have been in this city two months and came here from St. Paul, where Neville was a restaurant keeper. ‘The assailant has not yet been found. Mrs. Neville was not thought to be fatally injured, though her scalp was laid bare to the bone in two places, Dr. Iuen said that either blow would ore killed her almost instantly had she not seen the man in the glass, and by dodging caused the blows to be less di- rect. The hammer haé. glanced across the skull at both strokes. Mrs, Seville is at a loss to offer any explanation of the mysterious af- fair beyond expressing the belief that the man must have been insane. She knew of no one, she said, who bore a grudge against her. 200. Lucky Sir Frederick Grenfell. From the London World. Sir Frederick Grenfell, who is to conduct the operations at Suakim, isa lucky man, He is only forty-seven years of age. He joined the sixtieth rifles in August, 1859, and left the regiment in January, 1886, on promotion to an unattached lieutenant-coloneley. Three years viously he had been created a queen's aide- caesar, with the rank of colonel. He first came to the front in the operations in the Transkei im 1877-8, when he was aid to Sir Arthur Cunynghame, and afterward offiicer to Col, Glyn. In the Kafir war of 1878 he was D, A. A.and A.

There is no doubt that the question as to Blaine’s going into Mr. Harrison's cabinet is exciting more interest and discussion among politicians than anything else just now. A determined warfare is going on between the anti-Blaine and the Blaine factions, and it is wellunderstood that all sorts of pressure, direct and indirect, is being brought to bear upon General Harrison, The opposition to Mr. Blaine is very bitter, where it exists at all, and the activity of his friends excites renewed an- tagonism among his enemies, It is felt that much depends upon Mr. Harrison's decision in the matter. It is an em! ing position for him between the two fires, BITTERNESS 18 BOUND TO BE ENGENDERED which ever way it goes, and it is a question what good politics and wisdom will dictate. It is being represented to Mr. Harrison that to offend Mr. Blaine’s friends is to offend three- fourths of the republican y, while to affront the others involves only the anger of a few, who are not too closely bound b: party ties, at best. Many politicians wit! whom a Stak reporter has ed express re~ gret at the situation, and agree that they do not see how it will be possible for Gen. Harri- son to ignore the Maine m@p. There seems very little doubt that he expects the appoint- ment, and, while several compromises are sug- gested by peacemakers, it does not appear to e a matter that can be compromised, It is variously suggested THAT BLAINE BE SENT ABROAD; that he be allowed to name Boutelle or some other man for the cabinet, &c., &c. But the prevailing opinion appears to be that, unless he peremptorily withdraws himself, which does not seem practicable, the contest must be over whether he is to be fully recognized or entirely ignored. Mr. Blaine’s friends insist that Gen. Harri- rison cannot desire to slight him since there is understood to be a friendly feeling between the men, and the Blaine men led the move to Harrison at Chicago. ON THE OTHER HAND, it may be disputed that the result at Chicago was just what the Blaineites were trying to bring about, and it is urged that the thing that defeated Blaine in ’84, and that operated against. his getting | the nomination in June, should be effective in keeping, him out of the cabinet. The result of the contest no one feels confident to predict, but the fact that is apparent to eyery one is that ‘the Pepe pressure is being ex- erted on both sides, and some bad blood is most certain to be engendered, whatever ad- vice prevails. SOME OF M’KINLEY'S FRIENDS are anxiously considering the talk that is now being induldged in concerning his chances of being made Secretary of the Treas- nry. ‘The other candidates for the speakership are figuring upon this report to strengthen themselves from his line. If it should turn out that the cabinet portfolio is not to be of- fered to him, his speakership canvass might be injured by the impression that his ambition lay in another direction, All his friends expect him to be the central figure in the party in 89, and some ferr that going into the Treasury depart- ment might injure his chances at that time.

Mr. Laird is suffering from insomnia induced by overwork, but he is not dying; neither is his condition dangerous, Since he arrived at the springs his health has improved very con- siderably and his appetite, which was poor, is much better.

The Arrest of General Stanley. THE CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY BETWEEN THE FED- ERAL AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN AUSTIN, TEXAS. An official dispatch has been received at the War department from Brig. Gen. D. 8. Stanley, commanding the department of Texas, an- nouncing that he was placed under arrest on Monday by the local legal authorities of Austin, Tex., for having attempted to eject J. M. Snyder from government property that had been donated to the school board of Austin for the erection of a school house. Captain Ram- baugh, General Stanley's aide, was also arrested. They were committed to jail by Justice Stuart in default of £250 bonds each, which they re- fused to give, but the sheriff would not re- ceive them from the constable and they were released. This dispatch was referred to the Attorney- General by Acting Secretary Benet, with the request that he take such action as he deems advisable toward the legal defense of General Stanley and Captain Rambaugh. Beyond this the department has taken nd steps in the matter, leaving the details to Genera! Stanley's discretion. This property has been a bone of contention for some time and there has been considerable correspondence between General Stanley and the department relative to te disposition. The officer feared trouble ‘and his arrest caused but little surprise at the department. Christmas Omens. SOME OF THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED SUPERSTI- TIONS OF THE FRESENT SEASON. From the New York Sun. It will perhaps encourage a good many people this Christmas*to learn that in olden times there used to be a lot of impecunious, disgrun- tled and malicious persons who, instead of hustling around to buy Christmas presents, used to put in their time in the less expensive occupation of composing sweet things about the holiday itself. us it will be found that, farther than records have any date of, an old curmudgeon, who probably never put. so much as 3 cents’ worth of taffy in any child's stocking, undertook to make out not only that the state of the weather, but the day of the week, had everything to do with making Christmas either a blessing or acurse. The British museum has seen fit to treasure his idiotic utterances, although, as will be seen, he couldn't begin to spell even as well as the la- mented Artemus Ward.

In the Criminal Court, Judge Montgomery, to-day, the trial of Richard R. Brouner, in- dicted for taking papers (records) from the pension office, where he was a clerk at that time, was resumed.

From the New York Sun, A young woman made her way to her seat past all the people in the orchestra seats of the Lyceum theater a night or two ago, attracting unusual attention, because she had left her hat in the ladies’ room. She was young and plump, and had raven-black hair that fell in a cluster of tight ringlets over her brow. She was not particularly good looking. Her face was too strongly marked’ and full of stron: character to be femininely beautiful. One ot the habitues of the theater determined to find out what the other ladies had said of her in the buzz that greeted her appearance, so between the acts he asked every man he knew what the lady with him had said when she saw the bare- headed leader of that fashion which all men dream of, but scarcely hope to see established, ‘These are the comments he got: “My wife says she must be fast.” «She looks like a baboon,’ my girl said.” “My companion says, ‘If she wants to attract attention so badly, why doesn’t she wear trou- sers, like Dr. Mary Walker?” ; “She's got pretty hair; that’s why she does rt.” Spe she must want to make a show of her- “Deep in their hearts every woman in the house envies her her pluck for coming in that way, for it’s right, and if only some swells would do it we would all be glad to leave our hats off.” The utterer of this sentiment, so diametri- cally opposite to all the others, was a Fonns woman, the wife of a music publisher. When the theater-goer heard of this, he took the publisher over to the hotel across the way and said: “I want to drink your health. You've got the best woman in that theater.” eee Dots for a Hundred Women. From the London Truth.
