All they could do was to report to the Senate to have the matter placed with the United States attorney for the District of Co- tumbia and brought by him before the federal grand jury. r The following was unanimously a, after which the committee adjourned: ‘Whereas Philip Armour, Nelson Morris, Louis F. Swift, Frank E. Vogel, J. S. Newman and Jacob Meyer, having been duly and lawfally sum- moned to appear as witnesses before this com- Mittee. have repeatedly refused to obey the same. it is ordered that the facts be by ae to the chairman of the Senate of the United States at its next session, in pursuance of chap- ter7 of the Kevised Statutes of the United States.” After this action a reporter called Mr. Armour, who said: “The reason we did not ap- Pear before the senatorial committee was that we knew we could not expect fair treatment from the hands of Mr. Vest, who is notoriously on record as opposed to the dressed-beef busi- ness. He is the champion and advocate of the St. Louis cattle markets and op) 'd to Chicago interests. He has been friendly to all hostile beef inspection bills that have been introduced in the various state legislatures against Chica, dressed beef, which, if passed, would have stroyed this business. We are perfectly will- ing to appear before an impartial committee give any information pe ing to our business which is not of a strictly private ature. We have never exerted any influence to depress the price of cattle or increase the Price of dressed beef; on the other hand, it is a well-known fact that cattle are #1 per hundred higher than they would be if it was not for the dressed-beef indasiry, and we can get a great deal more ont of the bullock than the butcher or man who kills in small quantities.” The committee of Senators adjourned to meet Friday at Des Moines, = see SHE IS A MORPHINE EATER. The Wife of a Wealthy Detroit Bank President to be Divorced. A Detroit special to the Philadelphia Press says that E. K. Roberts is president of the Citi- zens’ savings bank, a prominent financier and of one of the old families, This fact was re- called with surprise Tuesday night when the gentleman's wife was taken from a leading hotel to a hospital in an ordinary ambulance, the same in which vagrant men and women are carried through the streets. Investigation re- vVeals that the wife, dcely educated and fitted to adorn the highest statica in life, is s victim of the morphine habit. Three months ago she was sent to the “Retreat,” but escaped, and on promising to abstain from the drug was taken home. She had not the will power to keep her pledge, and two weeks ago she was again sent tothe “Retreat.” Again she escaped and walked into the city, a distance of ten miles. She took rooms ata hotel and soon fell ill. Her busband was notified and arranged for her comfort, but she grew rapidly worse, and the landlord insisted upon her removal. This led | to her being taken to the hospital. Mrs. Rob- erts bel Oo aneminent Baltimore family. e hotel the housekeeper suggested that some of her friends should be notified. but she begged that nothing should be said of her troubies, as she was alone respon- sibie for them. Mr. Roberts will seck a di- vorce, as his wife has refused an amicable sep- aration, although he offered her generous ali- mony. ————-+e« The Louisiana Election. A New Orleans special to the Philadelphia Press say: the majority claimed for Priee, democrat. in the third district has grown some- what, but has probably reached its maximum, The foliowing are the majorities returned for Miner: Iberville, 1,089; Terrebone, 450, For Price: Ascension, 1,089: Assumption, 1,073; 1.200: © 150; Iberia, 827; La- t.

Iu regard to the shoot‘ng of Deputy Sheriff Jacobs, republican. at the Franklin poll. which had the result of making St. Mary democratic, Hon. Murphy Foster, president of the state senate. comes forward with a voluntarr state- ment that it was not he who shot Jacobs, but a man immediately behind him who reached over his shoulder and fired. Mr. Foster knows who the man is. but has not yet made his name public. Mir.

The flames were caused by the explosion on August 22, in which Superintend- ent Nicol and four rs were burned. The heat is so intense that the workmen cannot ap- Proach within 50 fect of the fire. Pipes to carry water from the surface to the burning district are being laid and it will be necessary to cut through 140 fect of coal to get behind the flames. Should gaa collect and be ex- ploded by the fire the mine will have to be ded. aay wake Semel The Czar’s Bomb-Proof Train. A London special cable to the Philadelphia Times 2a: A new imperial train has just been built for the emperor of Russia. The saloons are covered with iron outside and then come eight inches of cork instead of the steel plates with which the carriages of the old train were Protected. All the saloons, which communi- cate by a covered passage, are exactly the same in outward appearance, so that no outsider may be able to discover in which carriage the czar is traveling. During the emperor's journey autumn he passed most of his time in carriage, which, from the outside, looks like luggage van. ee Storms in the Northwest. Reports from North Dakota and portions of Minnesota have been received telling of aheavy storm Tuesday night. Grand Forks says a ter- Fific electrical and wind storm prevailed last | night within an area of 100 miles of that city. Telegraph poles between there and Fargo were blown down and communication interrupted. The damage ia the neighborhood is thought to be heavy. The Jamestown correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer Press says that tho heaviest wind, rain and thunder «torm in years prevailed, but no Great damage has yet been reported. The Weather is now wintry in nature and consider- able damage will resalt. During « severe thunder storm at Janesville, Wis. yesterday Robert Morton's barn was struck by lightning and destroyed, together With 1,200 bushels of grain and a large amount of bay and straw. A man sleeping in the barn barely escaped being burned to death. Nae Another Southern Duel. An Atlanta special to the Philadelphia Press Says that the Patterson-Huff duel has reached the board of “bonah” stage, the gentlemen who are officiating in that capacity being four Members of the legislatare—Speaker Clay, Capt. Gordon of Savannah, Clark Howell of Atlanta, and Joseph Lamar of Augusta, These four gentlemen wrote both principals este ing that they felt that there shoul be no fight and volunteering their services to help reach & settlement. Huff declined this, but it may be brought about yet. Letters are being carried by several seconds, and last night friends of | ® both were in conference. The police have put s to hostilities for the present. At 11 @’clock they arrested Mr. Huff upon the order of Gov. Gordon, and Mr. Patterson a later on. ———+eo+—____ The Duty on Wool.

Prohibition Conventions. The Massachusetts probibition convention at Worcester yesterday nominated Dr. John Blackman of Springfield for governor, and B. F. Sturtevant of Jamaica Plains for lieutenant governor, The committee on resolutions re- ported the platform, which upon the subject of local option says: “While we sustain local option in town, county and state, we also — its inad : lequacy to tomas Lert ic ssively organized throughout the nation, Ke look to state and national prohi- bition peeled the sale of intoxicating drinks by preven’ ng their manufacture as the only sound method.” Upon the subject of high license the platform says: ‘We heartily reject high license as opposed to experience and utterly misleading in its promises. It extends mercenary inducements; it puts the business in the hands of the most efficient and increases with them the motives of sale.” The attendance at the New York prohibition convention at Syracuse yesterday was not so large as a year ago. Prof. Hopkins, chairman, in his speech, said the democratic party was as much the liquor party as it ever was, and the republican party more so. The com- mittee on finance reported through Dele- gate C. H. Mead that there was a deficiency of $2,300 last fall. Counties which pledged to support them had failed in their contribution. Six thousand dollars is needed _to pay deficien- cies and meet expenses of the coming cam- paign. Over $5,000 was subscribed. er CHAOS WINS THE FUTURITY. A Slow Race, but Fast Enough for Mr. Scott, Who Gets $60,000. “Futurity” day brought a large attendance of people to the Sheepshead Bay track yester- day. But the great $60,000 race resulted un- satisfactorily by being run in a very slow time and through over-confidence on Garrison's part W. L. Scott's Chaos beat St. Carlo. Chaos was ridden by a young Englishman named Day, who was ruled off at Monmouth park fos foul riding, but who was recently reinstated. Last year Proctor Knott stamped himself the cham- pion two-year-old by capturing the rich stake in gallant style from Salvator. The winner now, however, is not able to lay claim to championship honors, simply because the real champion—El Rio Rey—was not eligible to start for the rich stake. Chaos has a long career, with two wins—a purse, 113, at Brook- lyn, and the Carteret handicap, 107, at Mon- mouth. The other events of the day were well contested and the finishes were close. In the ‘Futurity,” after a beautiful start, Eberlee was the first to show. followed by St. Carlo, Masterloge and Onaway. The entire field came down the chute almost alongside, but after going in this style for a quarter Amazon showed gy oe in front, followed b: Chaos, St. Carlo, Eberlee and Marie Lovell. g tho regular stretch Eberlee took a ding. lead, followed two lengths be- hind by St. Carlo. Sinaloa, Padishah and Chaos, In the last furlong St. Carlo, followed by Chaos, closed on Eberlee and then there was a desper- ate finish, Chaos winning cleverly by aueck, St. Carlo second, two lengths anda half before Sinaloa. Time 1164-5. Mutuals paid $50.45; place $19.80. Social Science Problems. At the morning session of the Social science association at Saratoga Springs, yesterday, the principal paper was by Fred Peterson of New York on electricity as a death penalty. He said it was not so efficacious or terrifying as a meas to prevent crime as the guillotine, Rev. Charles R. Treat of New York. and Dr, rles A. Harvey spoke on the sanitary dispo- as aguinst cremation. Conference of New York Greenbackers. A conference of greenbackers was held in New York last night aud delegates were elected to attend ths national convention of the party The delegates at large are George O. Jones of county, while delegates from twenty-three con- gressional districts were chosen. Resolutions were adopted requesting the delegates to the convention to use their influence to have the platform adopted there contined as nearly as possible to doing away with the dangerous sec- tonal distrust and hatred which still existed between the great majority of the people of the north and south. The delegates were also requested to have the money question in its ost and true light presented in the plat- form, ————+e+______ Dakota in Favor of Washington. The Jamestown Alert agrees with the Repub- tican as to the appropriateness of locating the world’s fair in Washington. It say: Of course North Dakota is solid for Chicago for the world’s fair, because we stand by the combination for our westera sake, But the proper North American location for this eele- ration is ut Washington, the seat of the | simi we celebrate and the most beauti- ‘ul city in the new world. New York is too big, too crowded and too greedy to be the right place for holding such illustrative and commemorative displays as this.—AMitchell (Dak.) Republican, ‘The Mitchell ican declares in favor of holding the world’s fair in 1892 at Washington, the capital of the nation. While it may not add any weight nor influence a decision in the matter the Ovserver is heartily in accord with the idea, Local 4nd sectional interests may make a strong showing in favor -of both New York and Chicago as a location for the fair, but the sober, second patriotic thought of the country will favor Washington city. This is the capital of the nation; it has time and again shown its capacity and ability to handle lar; crowds. And the location of the fair in {ts limits would give it a broad national aspect and free it from the sordid commercial in- | fluences which would surround it at either of the two cities which are now struggling to se- | cure itfor the money there is in it. | world’s fair be handsome! | gress, let it be located in its management be vested in au executive com- mittee of representative men from all of the Union; then it will be an exhibition of | which every American citi: be proud,— | Wak.)

HOW HAMILTON WAS DECEIVED. discharged Charles A.

Mr. Peabody said, in reply, explanation was simple. Mr. Hamilton was a man inexperienced in in’ It was always euch men who became entangled. Had he been & man who had given any por- tion of his life to this sort of thing, he would never have been entrapped. But he was im- ressionable, chivalrous. He was ready to lieve the protestations of affection for him made by this clever woman, and havi once given her his confidence, it was in accot with fhe nature of a generous and faithful man that he should not easily withdraw it. He never had any conception of the true character of the woman. It was doubtful whether he bad any conception of how bad it was possible fora woman tobe. The attitude of mind to- ward woman which Mr. Hamilton’s education | and breeding had inculeated made it difficult | for him to realize that a woman could be so as tobe beyond the reforming power of love and better circumstances. Having once become infatuated, it was not so difficult to understand how Mr. Hamilton took the woman at her word amd accepted the child as his, Having accepted this, there was nothing to open his eyes until the stab- bing occurred and the revélations which fol- lowed it were made. It did, indeed, seem almost incredible that a man could get so deep into the toils of an adventuress, but it had been demonstrated that he could, not only in the case of Mr. Hamilton, but of other men at i ‘imes, and in most of the instances the ere educated, refined and unused to such adventures, the man’s very superiority, intellectual and moral, being the cause of his shipwreck. As to Mr. Hamilton having lost hie mind, as had been stated in some of the papers, that was all nonsense. He had lost his mind no more than any man may be said to have done who becomes infatuated with an unworthy woman. MANN AND MRS, SWINTON IN COURT. In the Tombs police court yesterday Josh Mann, the lover of Mrs, Robert Kay Hamilton, and his mother, Mrs, Swinton, were arraigned to answer the charge of conspiracy. Josh Mann was brought in by Detective Crowley. He isa man of medium height and was dressed in a cheap but neat suit of clothes, with unshaven face and reddish moustache. Mrs. Swinton next appeared in the custody of Sergeant Mangin. She was poorly dressed and wore an old straw hat. She looked careworn and guilty. She kept her eyes fastened on the floor and nervously worked her fingers, At 2:20 the two conspirators appeared before the judge. The audience arose almost to a man to see the culprits, They had no counsel. The judge asked them what they had to say, and both rauet “Nothing.” The judge then remanded them until Friday next, when they will appear with counsel, EVA HEARS THE NEWS, Mrs. Hamilton, as she still calls herself, in | her attic room at the May's Landing, N.J., jail heard of the arrest of “Josh” Mann and Mra, | Swinton yesterday morning. She had been nervous and depressed all day Tuesday, havin; had 4 suspicion that Hamilton had abandone: her. She was in the same mental condition in the morning. When she learned through the newspapers that the whole plot had been laid bare she became almost hysterical for a short time and then all her old-time defiance re- turned. She threw herself on the bed, and, ressing her bands to her head, refused to Eola any oommuntontion with ‘tho shesia's | wife, who had come upstairs to see her. She refused to say anything concerning her bus- band or the action he had taken and seemed intent upon studying some plan for her own safety. 4 QUEEN VICTORIA’S YACHT.

New York Correspondence Boston Transcript. Speaking of women, I do my marketing ina part of the city where women are an important feature in commercial life. They are all for- eigners, mostly French, though there are some Italians among them, What interests me is the way they take hold of the business and help their husbands, American women of the same class would be at home devising means for Spending their husbands’ earnings. At the Italian grocery, where I do most of my buying, not only the wife but the oldest daughter helps along the cause. The daughter keeps the books and the mother waits on customers, keeps the clerks in order and superintends generally, The husband does the buying and attends to the out- side interests of the concern, He has to be away alarge part of the time, and who could so well see that everything was running properly at the store as his wife? Nor does she neglect her household duties in the meantime. She has a large family of small children and they are well brought up, too. Though they spend their tender years on the sidewalk in front of the store they are never allowed to go upon the street alone after they reach their teens. By this concentration of family interests they have built up a big business and have one of the best stores of its kind in New York. And yet I am told that when they first came to America the husband had acorner rruit stand while his wife farned the crank of « peanut roaster with one hand while she rolled the baby carriage with the other, Nowit takes several wagons to deliver their orders every morning, each wagon having the arms of the Italian family of the same name emblazoned on its sides. Ina popular French restaurant on Wooster street, where of a winter evening you will see a dozen men in dress suits dining, the wite of the proprietor and the proprietor himself do all the waiting. Mme. Henri not only carries in the smoking dishes of good things but she can draw a cork with the ease of a head waiter, placing the bottle firmly between her knees, and, with a scientific pull, out it comes with a pop that speaks well for the life of the liquid within. Across tht street another French wo- man not only kept the restaurant but she did the cooking and waited on the table as well, until a susceptible young artist came along and induced her to marry him. On South 5th avenue there is a successful French butcher whose wife not only makes out the bills but who wields the cleaver with a dex- | terity that is usually supposed to come only with masculine muscle. Her husband was not a butcher when she married him, but when he decided for that kind of business she went to work and took practical lessons in cutting w such animals as are used for food, and now really think that she has more skill with the kuife than he. You see this sort of family helpfulness all over Europe, and I am a firm believer in it and only regret that it is not more common in our country. eee Go ow Fripay anp SaturDay Evento to Marshall Hail excursion.

THE EVENING STAR is a PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nor of LAST WEEK. It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Forcign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuousty true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. therefore able to print each day a full | Feport of every transaction of public in= terest occurring in the District up te | the very hour of going to press. By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES: for REGULAR AND PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news trom Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. —o:-———_ Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atiantic and Pa- cihe Uceans, asinaebiaiinionae @@ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 — THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRILDERS and MORE THAN BIVE TIMES AS MANY READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY | PAPER IN WASHINGTON. livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE STAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints ali the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it,ia short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING ; MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSU- ELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGE1HER, Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives Its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. —0: In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boust most are least uble to stand. —0o:— © The esteem in which THE STAR is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cir- culation of the paper was: -22,507 copies 24,382 “ 25,702 “ 23,063 “ 30,244 ¢ —0:—— Equally significant is the showing ts regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication of its acknowledged value as » medium of publicity.
