There is in the archives of the War department | a box known as the “crank file,” wherein are | stowed scores of ictters from eccentric individ- | uals allover the world. A curious contribu- tion to this collection was received this morn- | ing. It was written very badly in @ miserable | hand on the top of a haif sheet of foolscap paper and was as follows: ~hilips P. ll Duva oc. a, F lorid anuary J e. th 6. 90 18. espectfully R. ed.

For a time it bafiled everybody in the record division, where it was read, until the attention of Mr. Hodgkins, the chief,was called to the en- velope, which was addressed thus: ‘Or w. t. Departmen ashington W. ©. D.” Then he found the key. and by shifting the letters into their proper places made out the letter to read: ‘Philips, Duvall Co., Florida, January the 6, 1890. Respectfully returned to the War Department for the claim of W. Clark, Benja- min Clark.” No one knows anything about ‘the claim of W. Clark,” and a search in the records will be Recessary. If nothing is developed thus @ polite note will be sent to Mr. Benj. Clark re- questing him to be a trifle more explicit. MR. HODGRINS’ THEORY. Mr. Hodgkins has come tobe quite an expert in the matter of deciphering crank missives, which, he says, seem to come in batches at certain seasons. He has a theory that there are conditions of climate that make these folks a little worse than usual, just as the dog days affect the canines in summer, for when- ever he gets one crank letter he is almost sure togeta dozen more at once. There is one man who sends the department great sheets of paper covered with pictures of guns and can- nous badly drawn in red ink, strings of sol- diers armed to tie teeth, much after the fash- ion of the Indian bark ‘picture writing. The outside of each envelope is covered with this sort of hierogiyphics and the letters them- selves are utterly unintelligible. FREDERICK ITY AND COUNTY.

John McArthur, jr., the distinguished archi- tect of the new Philadelphia city hall, died of poeumonia yesterday. He was born in Wig- tonshire, Scotland, May 23, 1823, and came to Philadelphia when ten years of age. He served an apprenticeship as a carpenter, learning to draw at nights ina school established by the carpenters company. He became very skill- fal as a draughtsman, and in 1848 won the first premium for his plan for a new house of refuge and took charge of the erection of the building. He ulso superintended the construc- tion of the east «nd west wings of the Penn- sylvania hospital, Among other prominent buildings of which he was architect are the Continental and Girard hotels, the Public Ledger office, the First national bank, and the buiidirg of the Presbyterian board of publica- tion, He was architect for the War depart- ment during the war and for the Navy depart- ment aiterward, building several government hospitals, including the naval hospital at Annapolis, His principal work, however, is the Puiladelphia eity ball. at Broad and Market Srects, built ata cost to the present time of about $14,000,000. When com- pleted it will be one of the largest perma- nent buildings im the country, with a tower —— feetin height. During the time this building has been in course of construc- tion, about eighteen years, Mr. McArthur has superintended the construction of the United | States post office and bas erected several costly private dwellings, THE MARYLAND FARMERS. A Demand That Corporations Pay Their Just Share of Taxes. At the fifth annual session of the Maryland state farmers’ association in Baltimore yes- terday Mr. Edward Stake, president, deplored the condition of the agricultural interests of the state for the past year and the decrease in the value of farm products below the cost of production, He said: “The farmer needs pro- tection from the dishonest manipulator of fer- tilizers, Wealthy corporations, being granted valuable franchises, escape taxation, and mortgages upon land are not taxed, while the land implements and stock of the farmer are taxed at their full value. The re- sult is that where demands are made for local Lage the farming class, the property, for much of which they are in debt, are paying nearly all the taxes, re is a pressing demand for legis- latures to correct extravagant methods in pub- lic affairs and tocompel corporations to pay their proper share.” PROPOSED BOARD OF AGRICULTURE, Dr. F. W. Patterson of Baltimore county Presented the report of the committee ap- pointed at the last meeting to formulate a bill for the establishment of a Maryland state board of agriculture. Messrs, Samuel Brooke of Anne Arundel, D, W. H. De Courcy of Queen Anne’s, Major Henry E. Alford and G. W. Miiler of Frederick were the other members of the com- mittee, The bill was read and handed over to the legislative committee with instructions to present it at Annapolis, Delegates were also requested to prepare petitions asking for the passage of the bill, and, after securing all the signatures they could get, to present them to the senators and delegates trom their own counties. Dr. Patterson said the idea of the committee wastokecp the board out of litics. Two plans of forming the commission had been sug- gested. One wus adopted and the other was to place the choice of members in the hands of the governor, w ho could choose one from each congressional disirict, Mr. T. J. C. Williams of Washington county declared that the farmers might as weil try to fan the sun into ice with a peacock’s feather as to keep the board away from the politicians, PROF. UHLER’S ADDRESS, At the evening session Prof. Philip R. Uhler, president of the Maryland academy of sciences, made an address on ‘Some facts in the struct- ure and resources of our tidewater agricultu- ral domain.” The region of country the pro- fessor desired to call attention to. he said, was bounded by the Potomac river on one side, by the Patapsco on the other and confined on its outer or seaward expanse by the Chesapeake bay. It possesses no mountains, no cliffs of rocks project over its running waters, no cas- cades mark its streams and no true rivers course through any part of its territory. But it has arich variety of features, great diversity of composition and a venerable history. The natural conditions of the region are here of o very superior kind. The whole region ia com- posed of sedimentary material. Al) is soft and exsy to work. Its depth is immeasurable so far as the needs of tillage are concerned and when the siface is exhausted there lies another surface which can be brought to the top and go forward indefinitely.

Jackson has insured the re-election of Senator Wilson of Maryland by himself with- drawing from the contest. The announcement was made yesterday evening. Gov. Jackson, in the Baltimore Sun, gives the following reasons for his decision: “Rather than embarrass some of my best friends in both ways, by requiring of them to vote for me in some instances, to vote against me in other instances, I have de- cided to withdraw. At no time have I asked members of the legislature to vote for me and no promises have been made. On the contrary, my closest friends, with an enthusiasm and unanimity that proves their devotion, have placed me inthe contest and they have come to Annapolis in strong force to aid in my suc- cess. I bave not heard of any case where bad temper has been shown in the discussion of the matter and there certainly is no ill feeling upon my part. It is above everything desirable tome to maintain the respect of every member of the legislature, I could not expect, perhaps, to exert the in- fluence I wish to have with members were I to ae in the renatorial contest after a fashion which would require me to place myself under obligations by asking further political favors for myself, ‘The governorship of Maryland is a high office, of which I have a right to feel proud, Had public sentiment shown itself un- mistakably as in the direction of my election to the United States Senate, as my sanguine friends, especially at home, believed, I would have continued to leave my case in their hands and in the keeping of the democratic members of the legislature, I am happy to say that no uncomforting compiications have grown out of this contest to my party or to m: arty friends, For two years I hi been successful in the ad- ministration of the executive affairs of my state, and hope to be sparedto round up my fuil term with honor to myself and with the earned verdict of the people that I have been a faith- ful servant, ere has been no combination in the contest, of which fact I believe those who have watched its progress muat be con- vinced by this time.” After Gov. Jackson had allowed the an- nouncement of his withdrawal to be known he was called upon by many friends, including members of the legislature and othera, He said that notwithstanding a good showing of a poll of the legislature by friends he had de- cided to withdraw and relieve tiem from re- sponsibilities which his continuance in the field would impose. Controller Baughman has not been in Annapolis this week, and there are no signs that he and his followers and friends have shown their hands in the senatorial busi- ness, At 2 o'clock the fact was evident that Senator Wilson's friends were in the prepon- derance. While the polling was in progress the governor left rear? in company with his brother. Mr. Lloyd L. Jackson, for Balti- more to attend to some private business which, he said, hadsummoned him from the capital, He said that his trip was inno way connected with politi The poll had fully developed Mr. Wilson's preponderating strengtu and this was represented to the governor upon his re- turn late in the afternoon, ——_—_cee___. Mr. Parnell Denies Poiut Blank. Mr. Parnell takes notice of the Ennis board's vote of coutidence in Captain O’Shea’s charges only to say that this proceeding ‘“‘May be most advantageously met with the deadly weapon of jilent contempt.” He says; “I intend to de- fend the action, At the same time I utterly and entirely ay all culpability, for, to use the words of ‘Stonewall’ Jackson, ‘there are times when the insignificance of an accuser is lost in the ingratitude of the accusation,’” Lighting @ Pipe With Ice. From the St Louis Republic. Last winter (there has not been enough ice this winter for any euch experiments) quite a little excitement was caused among a party of skaters on the Serpentine river, England, by one of the party making a lens of ice and light- ing the pipes of the others, This reminds the writer that this curious experiment was first brought before the public by Dr. Scoresby, who, when in the polar regions, to the great astonishment of bis companions, who did not understand why the ice did not freeze the peony rays, performed the same remarkable fea It may also be worthy of remark that Prof. Tyndali, when a tutor in. the air institution, on several occasions to little heaps of gunpowder with rays from an electric arc con- centrated upon the powder by alens of ice. His explanstion was that, although ice ab- orbs rays of certain waves of light and is gradually melted thereby, other waves do not absorb and these latter - the heating effect at the focus of the lens. It is wholiy a question of the relative motion of the mole- cules of frozen water and the motions of the waves of light, The New York Commercial Advertiser's Albany correspondent has learned that the suthor of the Husted rapid transit bill is Wm. DM. Ivins, ex-chamberlain of New York city, until re- cently a ar pon of Wm. R. Grace. The third annual convention of the Republi- can of the United States will be held at Neshville, Tenn, on March & THE KNIFFEN MURDER. Miss Purcell Would Not Testify and She and the Doctor were Arrested. There was another big sensation in Trenton last night when, after refusing, by advice of counsel, to testify before the corner’s inquest, Emma Purcell was arrested by Detective Charles Pilger, charged with the murder of Myra Kniffen. Dr. Arthur 8, Kniffen, the hus band of the murdered woman, was arrested a few minutes later on the same charge. There was a stir in the jury room as Coroner Bower and the jurymen had a consultation and the whisper went round that Miss Purcell was to be put upon the stand. Every maa in the court room seemed to feel that the most im- portant event of the day was about to tuke place. ‘There was a long wait, and then slowly there came up through the stairway from the grand jury room the figure of Miss Purcell, She was dressed from head to foot in black and a heavy crepe veil concealed her face from the curious crowd, which-rose in their seats to see her as she came in. By her side was the sister of Dr. Kniffen, Mra, Palmer, and she supported her as she walked, They were followed by Dr. Palmer and De- tective Leaby. Miss Purcell was conducted to the chair and seated herself facing the jury. There was a short pause, during which Coroner Bower and Prosecutor Stockton held a whis- pered consultation, Coroner Bower stepped to Miss Purcell and in a low voice requested her to raise her veil. Tnis she did with a firm hand and it could be seen that, although not as rosy- cheeked as before the murder, she had a good deal of color in her cheeks, She looked fear- lessly about and did not seem to be at all af- fected by her position, She was sworn by the coroner and then again reseated herself. “What is your name?” asked Coroner Bower. Before she could answer Chauncey H. Beas- ley. her counsel, arose and said: ‘1 instruct the witness not to answer and I think the law up- holds me in it, While she has not been ar- rested, yet ever since the terrible murder was committed she had been under surveillance, She has had an officer with her everywhere she turned and she was not allowed to leave the house when her friends desired to take her elsewhere. She has been a prisoner of the county to all intents and purposes and I in- struct her not to answer.” Mr. Beasley presented affidavits to substan- tiate his claim, Prosecutor Stockton directed Coroner Bower to put the question again and Miss Purcell re- phed: “By imstruction of counsel I refuse to answer.” As soon as Lawyer Beasley took his seat Prosecutor Stockton approached him. They spoke a few words and then the prosecutor turned to Justice Matheson, and he in turn made arush for Detective Harry Leahy, who stepped forward and piaced Miss Purcell under arrest, Detective Piiger rushed out of the court room and down to the witness room, where he found Dr. Arthur Kuiffen, the hus- band of the murdered woman. and placed him, too, under arrest, They were then taken into the grand jury room aud here the formal com- plaint was read to them, “in which Detective Charles Pilger sweurs that he has reuson to suspect that Miss Emma Purcell caused the death of Mrs, Myra Kuniffea and that Arthur 8. Kn ffeu was an accessory to the crime,” ‘This complaint was ‘sworn out last Sunday. This was done so that the suspects could not have their objections sustained if they made any ‘ainst the ofticers accompanying them at the neral, During the read.ng of the complaint Miss Purcell looked the justice straight in the eye. She sat all the while with her left band in that of Mrs. Elia Palmer, Dr. Kuiffen’s sister, who occupied @ seat on her left, On her right sat Dr. Kniffen, He was dressed ina black Prince Albert coat and about his neck he wore a handkerchief, presumably to hide the wounds on his throat, In his white shirt bosom he still wore the large diamond of which he is passionately fond. But once did his gaze turn to Miss Purcell, and then her eyes met his, her lips twitched, and for a mo- ment it looked as though she would burst into tears. Lawyer Barton took a copy of the complaint, which charges but “suspicion” against the prisoner, and waived the usual preliminary hearing. ‘ben I will have to commit them tothe county jail without bail,” said Justice Matheson. “Oh, can’t I go with her!” cried Mrs. Palmer, as the prisoners were es:orted to a cell, while their lawyers jumped into a cab and sturted out to secure a writ of habeas corpus and have the prisoners released on bail, From the court house Lawyer Barton drove to the residence of Judge dder, but he refused them the writ of habeas corpus. ‘They then tried Judge Van Sickle and here again were refused, As a last resort they called on Chief Justice Beasley and stated their case. It was after 10 o'clock when they lett the chief justice, but they did not have the writ. The chief justice said the charge was a serious one and that he would not interfere in the case in the absence of the prosecutor and while the coroner's inquest was goiug on. He promised, however, that they could renew their application after the adjournment of the inquest. If the jury does not fasten the crime on the prisoners he will read the testimony and consider their application for a writ. Miss Purcell is comfortably arranged in the juvenile department of the old court house and Mre, Palmer is permitted to lie on a bed she bas made on the ree floor outside the cell, Dr. Kniffen is in cell “B” on corridor No, 2. JACKSON’S DAY. How the Name of Old Hickory was Honored in Various Sections. The anniversary of Jackson's victory at New Orleans was generally celebrated all over the country last night. Ex-Secretary Bayard, Congressmen Fitch of New York and Wilson of West Virginia, and George M. Dallas and W. Wilkins Carr ad- dressed the Young Men's democratic associa- tion’s banquet in St. George’s Hall, Philadel- phia, Congressman McAdoo of New Jersey, Frank KR. Shuttuck, Col. John D, Worman, President John Huggard, Dr. Eugene Townsend and others spoke at the young democratic battalion’s dinner at the Bullitt building, Philadelphia, AGAINST THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT, At the Boston celebration of Jackson's day speeches were made by Hon. Charles L. Wood- bury, Mayor Carroll of Pawtucket and Gen, J. M. Brenuan of Providence. Gen. Butier and Corporal James Tanner were the special guests of the evening. Hon, N. A. Plimpton presided, and after the healtn of Gen. Jackson had been drank standing Gen. Butler was presented as the first speaker. After extolling Gen. Jack- son’s virtues the general said: ‘Another thing Ireverence Jackson for is that he was original, persistent, and a conquering enemy of mug- wumpery.” Gen, Butier cailed the Australien bailot a device that everybody seems to be in favor of except repeat the most complete and perfect system for defrauding the poor, ignorant and laboring men of their votes that ever was invented, Elaborate Jackson day exercises were held at Nashville, Tenn., comprising an immense pro- cession and a historic costume reception. A National Jackson club was organized, with A. XK. McClure of Philadelphia, as president. THE NEW YORK BUSINESS MEN'S DEMOCRATIC CLUB tendered @ banquet at the Hoffman house to Governors-elect Boies of Iowa, Camp- bell of Ohio, McKinney of Virginia, Abbett of New Jersey and Toole of Montana, The dinner also in celebration of the battle of New Or- leans.
