The Effect of the Surrender of the In- dianapolis Franchise. President Young said this morning that there was absolutely nothing to be said as yet about the surrender of the franchise of the Indian- apolis club. The matter, he added, will un- doubtedly be satisfactorily settled by the League before the meeting in March, but he would give no intimation as to the probable disposal of the fravchise. He has already re- ceived an offer from two wealthy business men in Indianapolis to buy the franchise and to run the club, The League has the option of run- ning the club on its own account in any city it pleases or of selling the franchise, always taking care not to encroach upon the territory of the American association. THE FOLLOWING CONTRACTS and releases have been promulgated: Jos. Loh- beck, T. C. Nicholson, and Jas. R. McAleer, with Cleveland; C. M..Smith, with Pittsburg; C. A. Farrell, with Chicago; E. O.

Released: Henry Lynch, by Winchester; Alec Ferson, by Win- chester; T. C. Nicholson, by Detroit. The Hamilton base ball association has for- feited its membership in the International association. BASE BALL NOTES. The stockholders of the Baltimore club, at their annual meeting yesterday, elected Wm. Barnie, president and manager; J. W. Waltz, vice-president, and Wm. H.

Jobn is now eae it over, as the offer is a liberal one, but still be wants to play ball a lit- tle longer. The Indianapolis trouble is starting the local tongues wagging on the ceaseless question of securing Denny to play third base for Wash- ington.

To the Editorof Tux Eventxe Stan: The following extract from a letter received by me to-day appears to settle the paternity of a phrase whose origin has been much mooted of late: ‘The very essence of a free government con- sists in considering offices as public trusts, be- stowed for the good of the country, and not for the benefit of an individual or a party.”— From the works of John C. Calhoun, vol. 2, page 462; edition of 1854. The writer of the letter is "Mr. John Bartlett, of Cambridge, Mass., the well-known editor of * Familiar Quotations,” Respectfully, C. O. Bourerie. — He Was a Thorough Scientist. To the Editor of Tar Evesino Star: Inotice in your paper of yesterday an ex- tract from the Springfield Republican, in which occurs a mistake which I beg to correct. The article says, in referring to Col. James Steven- son: tly proper sense Col. Steven- son was not a scientific man.” The reverse of this is the exact truth. Though a most cau- tious and careful theorizer, he preferred deal- ing with scientific facts, and he went to the bottom of every subject he touched in relation to his special science, ethnology.

Friday evening the young man visited Baltimore to witness the Booth-Barrett performance. McAn- drews left his aged friend at the Emmett house, When he returned Carr could not be found, and Lieut. Kelly was called upon to assist in the search for him. Being unable to find his friend, McAndrews returned home, expecting to find Carr in Wheeling. He was not there, however, and McAndrews communicated with Lieut. Kelly. Last evening the lieutenant found Carr, who was unable to get home be- cause his funds were exhausted. He said that he went out of the hotel Friday, and meta colored man, with whom he took a drink. Af- ter that he did not know what occurred. He had forgotten where he had stopped, and was waiting to receive some money from his home. Lieut. Kelly took him to the Emmett house, where he found $37 in cash and his overcoat where he had left them, and last night he left for his home. ek Pe SERNA Disorpegxy 1x Cavrcn.—Geo, Minor, asmall colored boy, was charged in the Police Court to-day with disturbing religious worship at the Fifth Colored Baptist church last evening.

Mr. Ricks appeared for the prisoner, and showed that this was his first offense. He was allowed to go on giving his personal recognizance, Mr. Ricks advising him if he desired conversion to go to the woods if he could not behave in church, : ——>—___ Exectioy or Orrieers.—At the annual meet- ing of the Mutual protection fire insurance company of the District, the following gentle- men were elected trustees of the company for the ensuii year: Messrs.

ICE ON THE RIVER—IF THE COLD SNAP LASTS A FEW DAYS MORE NAVIGATION WILL BE CLOSED. The present condition of the Potomac shows the necessity for an ice-boat in the harbor of Washington. This morning there was nearly «half inch of ice on the river from shore to shore, more than has been there any previous day this winter. River men say that it would not take more than three or four days of this weather to traffic on the Potomac. The ferry-boats broke the ice between here and Alexandria on their first trips, and later in the morning the police boat Joe Blackburn opened the river to the oyster wharf. The ice, although not very thick, was Fgemt solid. The — at did not have much trouble plowing hrough the ice, but should it get much thicker it will be impossible for that boat to keep the channel open. The boat started from the 6th- street wharf and soon cleared the river as far as llth street. At the oyster wharf there were about forty sloops, pangics, schooners, and bug-eyes with nearly forty thousand bushels of oysters. Many of the boats are holding up in anticipation of a cold snap and severe Ze, when they will be able to get their own prices for bivalves. Others are selling out to get away before the freeze-up, should one occur. Should cold weather continue and navigation be stopped, those men who get their boats out of the way will retarn to the oyster beds and getonafresh load. They will then return as far as possible and wait till the ice breaks up, when they will come to the city and get good prices for their cargo, Harbor-master Sutton intends to do what he can to keep the river clear, but the police boat is not strong enough to break heavy ice, as it was originally built for a pleasure boat. ao TREES, A Literary Coincidence. To the Editor of Tar Evextne Star: I clip the following from your article on Gen. Jackson, which appeared ‘in your issue for Wednesday, the 16th inst. The epitaph written by the general himself isa marvelous combi- nation of simplicity, loving g praise, and pathos, while that composed by Charles Reade, the great novelist, is so strikingly like in form and sentiment as to suggest—well, a very strong co- incidence at least. The latter also was copied from a number of the Srar in 1887, and is cred- ited to a previous number of the London Times. Respectfully, E.R. RB. “Here lie the remains of Mra. Rachel Jack- son, wife of President Jackson, who died Dec. 22, 1828, aged sixty-one years. Her face was fair, her person pleasing, her temper amiable, and her heart kind; she delighted in relieving the wants of her fellow creatures, and culti- vated that Divine pleasure by the most liberal and unpretending methods. To the poor she was a benefactor, to the rich an example, and to the wretched a comforter. Her piety went hand in hand with her benevolence, and she thanked her Creator for being permitted to do good; a being so gentle and yet so virtuous slander might wound but could not dishonor. Even death, when he tore her from the arms of her husband, could but transport her to the bosom of her God.” Wrinkled physiognomy lies! Look at the rugged and stern portrait of “Old Hickor; and it tells us of a warrior—‘By the Ete: while his pen teaches us that he was a hearted man and a poet. CHARLES READE’S GRAVE, “Charles Reade was buried in the same grave, side by side, with a lady who, together with her husband, had been almost life-long friends of his, and to whose memory he erected a marble tomb with the following inscription, composed by Mr. Reade himself: ‘Here lies the great heart of Laura Seymour, a brilliant artist, a humble Christian, a charitable woman, a loving daughter, sister and friend, who lived for others from her childhood. Tenderly piti- ful to all God's creatures. even to some that are frequently destroyed or neglected, she wiped away the tears from many faces, helping the poor with her savings and soothing the sorrowful with her earnest pity. When the eye saw her it blessed her, for her face was sun- shine, her voice was melody and her heart was sympathy. Truth could saymore and sorrow pines to enlarge upon her virtues; but this would ill accord with her humility, who justly disclaimed them all and relied only on the merits of her Redeemer, After months of acute suffering, borne with gentle resignation and with scrrow for those who were to lose her, not for herself, she was released from her bur- den and fell asleep in Jesus, September 27, 1879, aged fifty-nine years. ‘Blessed are the merciful, for they shail obtain mercy.’ (Matt., v,7.) This grave was made for her and for himself by Charles Reade, whose wise counsel- lor. loyal ally and bosom friend she was for twenty-four years, and who mourns her all his days.” Mrs, Seymour was, in her time, an actress of some celebrity.” oe To rae Epiror or THe EventNe Star.—Sir: In your most excellent paper of the 30th of November last there appeared an article taken from the Orphan's Court record, and sundry other articles at different dates, being partial extracts from the court records, all of which, without hearing the answer of the defendant to the allegations contained in the petition and amended petition of the plaintiffs in the cause therein named, are calculated to do great in- justice to an innocent party, which the writer feels sure you donotintend. Had your reporter been present and reported the fact that the first —— of the claimants in said cause was quashed by the hon. court, and that an amended petition, which was prayed for and granted, an answer filed, and on a final hearing the cause was dismissed at sibel ac cost. Had these rulings of the court been given the same publicity that was given in your paper to the other proceedings in this cause, then no special necessity would require any further notice of these private affairs, Since that was not done the writer claims that a very brief statement of this litigation is due to the de- fendant, Mrs. Caroline M. Pitchlynn, whose mo- tives and actions by bringing this suit have been seriously called in question without any foundation whatever. Gov. P. P. Pitchlynn was an honored representative of the Choctaw people to settle their business with the United States, and resided in the city of Washington temporarily from 1853 to the time of his death, in 1881—except during the late unfortunate war, which time he and his family resided on his farm in the Choctaw country. Some time previous to his death he made a will, in which he games his wife his executrix, and left the will in the care of J. B. Luce. Mr. L. was instructed not to place the will on record in the Choctaw Nation til! the final settlement of the nation’s business with the United States. In 1887 Mr. Luce died, leaving the will with his own or In July last the final adjust- ment was had with the government. Up to that time there was no estate. consequently no administration under the said will. Soon after the appropriation was made by Congress the delegates who succeeded Governor P. and others to bring the ‘net proceeds claim” to an end. being authorized by act of council, drew from the United States Treasury the amount due by acts of their council to themselves and all former delegates. Council also authorized those men to make settlement with the former delegates. Whereupon they at once went to the Choctaw country and did make a settlement without the knowledge or consent of the widow or heirs of said decedent P. P. Pitechlynn, and in the month of August they sent to the widow and heirs in this city, through an agent, a statement of their settlement. and the amount they had allowed to each person under the ratio set forth in the will. This agent of the Choc- taws paid to each individual to 1 cent the sum thus set apart by said authority. Neither the widow nor = one of the heirs knew of or had any voice in the settlement of the amount paid to them, or of its division, until the amount of money each one received came to hand, and each heir has managed his or her money since. The allegations by those plaintiffs both in sub- stance and implication vanish into thin air when the test of facts is applied. The de- fendant in this cause, Mrs. Caroline M. Pitch- lynn, whom the writer has known well for twenty ears regrets exceedingly that her pame, without any just cause, has n associ- ated with newspaper articles, Mrs. P. is the soul of honor, truthful, generous. a most ee ae exemplary Christian lady—fall of alms deeds and good works.

To the Editor of Tax EVENING Star: Listening to a tariff debate in the Senate Monday Iwas struck with the incorrect pro- nunciation of our distinguished statesmen. Nearly every one who used the word finance pronounced it fi-nance, although all the dictionaries, both English and American, state that the pronunciation should be fe-nans, with the accent on the last syllable. Patriotism was pronounced pat-riotism instead of pa-triotism, and that too by men who are reputed to be scholarly, Were received the broad pro- nunciation of wear, and the names of states, such as Iowa and Missouri, were pronounced so much at variance with the way declared to be correct by eminent lexicographers that it was laughable. All this, mind you, was in the Sen- ate of the United states and not in a cross- roads’ debating club, I must say I was astonished, and I suggest that the Senators take a little time (say at an evening school) to learn how to pronounce the common words of the language.

With an ordinary man the constant tendency would be to over act, and rant, and play the villain with vehe- mence of lung and wild sawing of the air. But not so with Lackaye. He makes the character so artistically repulsive that it isa fasciiration.” a Cartie Market.—Atthe Union stock yards, 153 cattle were on the market yesterday and all sold to butchers as follows: Best sold from 434 to 4!¢c. per pound; good sold from 33, to 4c. per pound; medium sold from 3% to 3!gc. per and; common sold from 2 to 3c. per pound. 16 sheep and lambs on the market; 466 sold to butchers, as follows: Old sheep sold from 4 to Se. per pound: lambs sold from 434 to 6i¢c. ound; 50 shipped to Baltimore.

The following committee was appointed to present the matters to Congress: Archibald Greenlees, chairman; John T. Mit- chell, M. A. McGowan, John J. Waters, Bernard T. Janney and John Leetch. A reso- lution was adopted “that the House of Rep- resentatives be and are hereby requested to amend H.

The Minnesota house of representatives ad- journed yesterday until to-day, without ballot- ing for United States Senator, pending the charges of bribery in connection with the sen- atorial fight. The senate and house committees to investigate the bribery charges wore in ses- sion until late Monday night and again Tues- } day morning. Their proceedings were secret. The Washburn faction believe nothing will come of the investigation, and that the whole matter is a scheme to prevent the election of the caucus nominee. When the senate considered the bribery mat- ter yesterday the partial report made to them | comprised charges which, Senator Buckman said. “were made by men whose characters would not bear very close investigation.” Sena- tor Ward, a strong Sabin man and a member of the investigating committee, announced that \ both Washburn and Sabin had been implicated | in the charges made. and he would vote for neither. The substance of the partial report offered by the committee was that one man had received an offer of a good government position if he would vote for Sabin; anoth man said an offer was made him of $1,000 to vote for Washburn; while a third id Wash- burn gave him wine until he was so drunk he did not know whether he received any money or not. In the open session of the senate, which be- gan at 11:15 o'clock last night, Senator Daniels, who presided at the republican caucus, nomi- nated Gen. W. D. Washburn, Senator Crandall said he was in doubt about the propriety of voting for W. D. Washburn, and made this statement to explain the vote he would cast. A great many of the senators explained their | votes, Senator Edmunds, of the investigating committee, said the senate had been listening all day to ‘‘perjured agen 8 The ballot resulted: Washburn, 24; E.

At the sitting held by the Munich Academy of Science in celebration of the birthday of the prince regent of Bavaria, the venerable | Prof. von Dillinger delivered an interesting | speech on “The Part of North America in Literature.” He thought the main hindrances to the literary and scientific progress of the United States were to be found in the want of a great central university and in the slipshod character of the American newspaper press.

From the Boston Post. A certain gentleman whose stable is situated at some distance from his house, having occa- sion to go there, a very rare occurrence with him, was surprised to find a strange horse ly- ing comfortably in one of the stalls anda her- dic in the carriage room cheek by jowl with his brougham. John Coachman, being called upon for an explanation, displayed no little embarrassment, but finally asserted that the intruding property belonged toa cousin, who had taken the liberty of leaving it in his charge for a few hours while he engaged accomoda- tions elesewhere. My friend suspected that there was more behind, and learned by in- quiry that the herdic and the horse had been kept on his premises and at his expense for a month or six weeks. The driver pred a night- hawk, went out with his cab after dark and re- turned in the small hours of the morning, so that but very few people had seen the piratical turnout entering or leaving the stable. This, no doubt, is an extreme case, but the man who never or very seldom inspects his own horses in their quarters. need not be surprised if all does not go well there. see Millions for an Empress. THE DUCHESS OF GALLIERA’S ENORMOUS LEGACY TO THE EMPRESS FREDERICK. From the Philadelphia Times. While Queen Victoria and the widowed Em- press Frederick are taking the waters together at Biarritz, they probably spend at least some portion of their time in denouncing Prince Bismarck, especially when they recollect that he had the impertinence to call the empress of India ‘a tea-drinking old tabby.” But the heart of the stout old lady, whose penurious- ness is the failing most urged against her, has been made glad by the inheritance by the Em- ress Frederick of $2,500,000, left to her by the Buchees of Galliera, a woman who, during her lifetime, bestowed over $20.000.000 on the needy and sick of all nations. The duchess was born sixty-three years ago in Genes, Savoy, the only daughter of the rich Marquis de Brig- nole-Sale, a friend and companion in his exile of Louis Philippe of Orleans, who afterwards ascended the tizone of France. The marquiese married the Italian duke of Galliera, who also was possessed of an immense fortune, which years ago. at the time of his death, was valued at $50,000,000. The duchess built numerous hospitals and asylums. The buildings were monumental structures and the oa and decorations of the most costly kind. was the desire of this charitable woman to have her wards surrounded with all the luxuries and comfort money could command. She was a long sufferer from asthma and a diseased liver and subject to long and terrible fits of suffoca- tion. n her last will she distributed her rivete fortune among the poor of many cities. Ker palace in Vienna she leaves to the Austrian embassy under the proviso that at ail times rooms should be preserved for her only child Ferrari, duke of Galliera. This young man is one of the railroad kings of France and Italy and his fortune is estimated at $100,000,000. padi ats ee The Discoverer of the Microscope. From the London Standard. M. Govi, an Italian savant, has presented a paper tothe French academy of sciences, in which he claims for Galileo the distinction of having discovered the microscope as well as the telescope. He has found a book, printed in 1610, according to which Galileo had already directed his tube fitted with lenses to the observation of small near objects. The hilosopher himself stated, shortly after this ‘te, that he had been able to observe through alens the movements of minute animals and their organs of sense. In a letter written in 1614 to a Signor Tarde he states that he has with his microscope ‘seen and observed flies as large as sheep, and how their bodies were cov- ered with hairs. and they had sharp claws.” ‘The date usually assigned to the discovery of the microscope is 1621, and the invention is at- tributed to Cornelius Drebble,a Dutchman; but according to M. Govi the date must be thrown back eleven years, and the credit of the first construction awarded to Galileo.

King, a well-known lawyer of Orilla, lost his life on the Grand Trunk rail- way a few dayssince. He had been away on business, and on returning got off-the train while it was in motion. Instead of getting off at the station side he took the wrong side of the train, and had hardly touched the ground when he slipped and fell so that his two lege were run over by the Pullman car, He died in twenty-three hours. The accident took place at 2 o'clock in the morning, and at daylight a brother of the dying man drove a few miles out from the station to tell his father of the sad business, To his surprise he found his father up and dressed awaiting him. “Where's Daniel?” eagerly asked the old gentleman. “I saw him about 2 o'clock or a little after. He came to my window and rapped at it. Tsaw him three times and spoke to him!” The grief of the father on learning of the sad affair was very great, Sa Two Noble Heroines, From the London Queen. There is always a grand distribution of crosses of the legion of honor at New Year, and two women have this year been thus 'itistin- guished, The first of these is a nun known as Sister Eveline, who has spent thirty-five years of her life in tending the sick and wounded in the military hospitals. She is now attached to that of Lorient, where she has earned a quiet reputation for earnest labor, kindness of heart, and devotion. Mme. Coralie Coleen, the other chevaliere, is the widow of a doctor of repute, and has deserved this distinction for her noble conduct during the Franco-Prussian war. She was present at the battle of Borny, and was able to save many lives, and by her indomita- ble energy to make up in measure for the de- fective organization of the ambulances. Sev- eral hundred wounded soldiers were carried into Metz under her orders, and during the siege she labored night and day in the hospi- tals, After the fall of that town she went to Vendome, where narses were in great demand and where she set up and ii d an ambu- lance. Nor did her efforts cease when peace had been restored, for she started for Germany and worked hard there to improve the condi- tion and lessen the sufferings of the French prisoners in the hospitals. While there she was sent for by the Empress Augusta, who, at the end of along interview, took off the red cross she wore round her neck and placed it on that of Mme. Cohen, calling her “la grande Francaise.” ee —______ Tae B. anv O.
