Rival Social Queens Get the Arrange- ments in a Snarl, The coming society event of the season in Richmond is the grand colonial ball on the 29th, It will be given under the auspices of the ladies’ colonial assembly of Virginia, and will be to Richmond what the New Year's Me- Allister ball of the 400 was to New York. A small feminine society war has already grown out of it, Two of the lady committee chairmen are young married beauties and queetus of so- ciety. One of these formulated the program of the dances, and she proposes to open the ball with the minuet, which she will lead with ex- Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, both ladies and gentlemen, sixteen couples, appearing in full colonial cos- tume. The other queen, chairman of the recep- tion committee, also aspires to the distinction of leading the minuet, not with ex-Gov. Fitz, but with Gov. Phil McKinney. ‘The latter lady, not knowing of the arrangement of the former to lead with ex-Gov, Litz, sent an invitation asking Gov. Phil to open with her. Here arose the conthet between the society supporters of the ex and the actual governors, aud now all upper-tendom in Richmond isagog with the merry war. Chairman No. 1, who favors ex-Gov. learning that Chairman No, 2 had invited Goy. Phil, wrote that lady a sharp note, to which she received an equaily curt and keen reply. Gov. Phil acknowledged No. 2's invitation and regretted that he was in- capacitated from dancing by reason of a wound received during the war, and was forced to de- cline, This, of course,will setile the matter in favor of ex-Gov, Fitz and his society faction, see = A Maniac’s Attempt at Suicide. As Judge Prendergast of Chicago entered his private chambers Monday morning his eyes took ina paralyzing sight, ‘Che window was raised, aud standing on the sill was a man with his hands clasped together above his head in the act of plunging a distance of three stories from the county building to the stone sidewalk below. Four men in the room had their backs turned toward the maniac, but when the judge's ery of “Grab hin! Grab him, quick!” feli upon their ears they turned like a flush and seizod the would-be’ suicide not second too soon. The maniac, Jacob D. Clevenger, as soon as he spied the judge, tapped him on the forehead, exclaiming, “I know you,” aud made » move to attack him, He was locked up for examina- tion. Overwock is the cause of lis insanity. A Son’s Sad Discovery. Just as the class in waiting at the Cincinnati college of medicine was gathered about the body of an old man on the dissecting table Monday afternoon, and the knife of the in- structor was about to be used, a young man en- tered the room and giving one look at the dead man threw Limsclf upon the body erying: “My futher. of, my poor father!” The young man and the @ iy'on the dissecting table was that of his father, Carroll Daly. ‘The old man was addicted to drink and bad died without his relatives knowing anything of his whereabouts. ‘They saw the death notice, how- ever, and began a search for the body, with tho result above described, The body was given to the son, soe It is understood that Gov. McKinney will make a number of changes in the personnel of Ee boards of the various institutions of the state. The opening of the Atlantic and Dapville railroad will be handsomely celebrated at Dan- ville on the 23d instant. The bill incorporating the Columbia and South American transportation company—a railroad to connect North and South America— is receiving the attention of a house committee in the Virginia legislature, All the big Chinese restaurants and other patie places in New York have been shut down ‘or their 3,756th year to prepare for their New Year, which comés on Sunday. New York detectives yesterday raided the pool rooms at 1242 Broadway, known as the “White Elephant.” Charles C. Thompson, the alleged proprietor of the place, was arrested and locked up.

The sadness ig almost entirely dissipated just now, but the an- ger becomes more marked as this somewhat moist day travels toward its conclusion, This disposition to rend something, as it were, is confined to the republicans, and the object at whom their shafts are directed is no less a per- sonage than the President of the United States, From the day when Mr. Har- rison was inaugurated Chicago republicane have been busily engaged in endeavoring to cause the retirement of the federal officials who had been appointed by President Cleveland. Yesterday atternoon the Senate received the nominations of Chris. Mamer w be collector of internal revenue for ghe first Illinois district, and John M. Clark, collector of customs for the district of Chicago. The first of these was uniformly satisfactory, but the latter one has raised a howl. Both Senators Cuilom and Far- well, ten Illinois Representatives, the state officials and a number of other prominent or influential men had come to the conclusion that a Mr. Campbell was the best man for thé place, and failing him Mr. Wm. Penn Nixon of the Chi- cago Inter-Ocean, In the earlier stages of the fight there was a deal of consulta- tion at the White House and then there was quite an extended period when there was no consultation at all; then there were wrath ause the administration did not seem to be aching for advice. Latterly there have been fresh appeals to the President, and it seems to have been understood that the delegation would be consulted in case any new name came up. A little more than a week ago Mr. George Pullman of sleeping-car fame was in the city, and yesterday the name of Jokn M. Clark waa sent in, Some of the lakeside politicians think they can see a connection between the two cir- cumstances, It is not improdable that when Mr. Clark's name comes up for consideration in executive session it will be so amén as to sound like Dennis. If Senator Farwell wants to defeat him it is said he can do it, for the democrats of the Senate are indebted to Senator Farwell for assistance at a time when assistance was worth a t deal. Without Farwell Judge Melville Fuller would never have been confirmed as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and when the Senator desires to call in several such loans as that he can, it is said, command a solid demo- cratic vote, THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. A LIBRARY FOR GOVERNMENT PRINTERS, Senator Wilson of Lowa yesterday afternoon introduced a petition from employes of the gov- ernment printing office praying for the establish- ment in that office of a library. The petition was an addition to the lengthy ‘one introduced some time ago by Senator Wilson. MR. MILLIGAN'S GENIUS AND MECHANICAL SKILL. P. F. Milligan of 115 4th street northeast came to the front vicariously in the Senate yesterday. Through the kindness of Senator Wilson of Iowa Mr. Milligan’s petition was made public. Mr. Milligan asks modestly for $10,000 as a loa id he promises by its aid to demonstrate his skiil us a preventer of railroad accidents. He has an invention, he says, which is death to acci- dents and he wants congressional aid in its de- velopment. If this proposition docs not meet with congressional approval, then Mr. Milligan says he has an improved steel-plated armored battery with which the government ought to equip all stage coaches and railway trains carry- ing the United States mails. The construction of this, the inventor says, “require genius and mechanical skill, which I possess,” The three Jast words are underiined in order that there may be no doubt about it. FOR A SUPREME COURT BUILDING $300,000. Senator Morrill, from the committee on pub- lic buildings and grounds, favorably reported yesterday the bill appropriating $300,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection of @ building for the use of the United States Su- reme Court. He also reported favorably the ill appropriating $15,000 tor the erection of & bronze statue to the late Spencer F, Baird. THE PROPOSED MOUNT VERNON AVENUE, Areport from Col. Hains was submitted to the House yesterday upon the survey authorized by the last Congress for a national road from a point in Alexandria county, Va., near the Vir- ginia end of the Aqueduct bridge and thence to Mount Vernon suggests three alternate routes, The estimated cost of the first route is between $1,919,869 and $1,107,481; for the second be- tween $1,736,199 and $977,160, and for the third between $1,661,047 and $130,824, CAPITOL TOPICS. SCHOOL CHILDREN IN UTAH. Very interesting are some of the figures dis- closed by Jacob 8, Boseman, commissioner of schools for the territory of Utah, and forwarded tothe Senate by Secretary Noble. The total number of children between the ages of six and eighteen years is 61,972. Of these 14,647 are children of Gentile or non-Mormon parents and 47.325 are the offspring of avowed Mormons, T total amount paid in compensation of teachers is $175,257.02, partly in cash and the balance in produce and merchandise. The school property of the territory is valued at $610,050. INFORMATION FROM THE SECRETARY OF WAR, ‘The Secretary of War has transmitted to the Senate, in response toa resolution, a list of of- ficers of the army who have been placed on the retired list since March 31, 1888. The aggre- gate amount paid annually to these officers foots up a total of $173,475. Another official communication from Secre- tury Proctor isa reply toa resolution asking for information as to the stations and pay of all officers, enlisted men and civil employes of the United States signal service. TO REFUND THE DIRECT Tax, A bill looking to the refunding of the direct tax levied by act of Congress of Auguet 5, 1861, was introduced in the Senate yesterday by Sen- ator Wade Hampton. —_ The bill makes the sey- eral states and territories and the District of Columbia trustees for the benefit of those who were originally assessed or their heirs or legal representatives, PROPOSED CODIFICATION OF BANKING Laws, At a meeting of the house committee on banking and currency yesterday it was decided to take up tomorrow the bill introduced Mon- day by Kepresentative Dorsey making a codi- fication of the banking laws. ‘The controller of the currency, Mr. Lacey, will be heard on the changes introduced by Mr, Dorsey.

C.; WEDNESDAY, JANUARY’ 15, 1890. A WILD RUNAWAY, by a Locomotive. A remarkable runaway occurred in the north- eastern section of the city yesterday afternoon. Shortly after 4 o'clock a pair of horses-attached to a heavy covered country wagon began to run away, starting from the Green statue park, atthe corner of 4th street apd Massachusetts avenue northeast. They ran down 4th street at a rapid gait, no one being in the wagon. At the railroad crossing at I street the watchman had just lowered the gates for an incoming train, The horses were not hindered an in- stant, but dashed at the gates, breaking them, and then they passed into the tracks, and, chased by the hissing, whistling locomotive, they ran down the cut, the wagon bounding from one side of the track tothe other. Frog after frog wi assed without catching hoofs or ithe runaways kept on their wheels, and 8 way until the Y was reached at 2d street. The train was still coming on, and the now thor- oughly frightened horses were fortunate enough to take the a track, keeping on around the north side of the Y to the Metro- politan branch. AtK street they turned off the tracks and were soon stopped by a colored man, In all this rough run of ten squares, four of which were on thé railroad tracks, the only damage done wes a a cut on one of the horses in a stumble and the breaking of about cents worth of harness. The wagon was un- injured even in the slightest degree. ——_ Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court as follows: Benj. J.

Under the caption of “Election reform” the governor said “Each party is pledged in its platform to some measure of ballot reform. Let it not fail in a struggle for party advantage or in an effort tosecure the adoption of some cherished system, The end to be sought ix legislation which will secure the ascertainment of those legally en- titled to vote, the prevention of colonization and the impersonation of the voters, the seleo- tion of competent, honest election officers, the prevention of intimidation and the corrupt use of money, and the absolute certainty that the ballots of the voters only are deposited in the box and are bonestiy counted aad returned, All seem agreed on the plan that the voter while preparing his ballot should be provided with the means of doing the same alone and the prevention of solicitation within a certam die tance of the polls. I had faith om the use of the official ballot as a corrective of corrupt politics, but Lam not blind to the serious objections which are urged to its exclusive use as a legal ballot. It is the constitutional right of every citizen of this state to vote for whoever he sees fit for any clective office. This right ex- ists up to the moment of casting his vote, and at should not be restricted by provisions which require a nomination of the person tain forms of procedure to be weeks prior to the election. Th official ballot to prevent corruption is theoreti- cal, The desire to use the official ballot, how- ever, seems to be widespread, and it is possible that its use may by experiment be found not to be inconvenient and to effect results which are claimed for it, but it should not be the exclu- sively legal ballot to be voted. There is noth ing to prevent the trial of the official ballot and also the official envelope at the same time, Ex- periment would very svon demonstrate whether itwere wise to continue the use of either, or both, or only one. a “LORD GUMBOYLE.” The Titled Simpieton Who Died Vester= day and the Fortescue Suit. Earl Cairns, who died yesterday, gained his chief notoriety as defendant in the Fortescue breach of promise suit, Miss Fortescue bad been educated as a lady, but in consequence of her father's failure in business had adopted the stage as profession, in order that she might be able to support her mother and sister, Her salary was at first three guineas a week, and subsequenty twice that sum, In 1882 she made the acquaintance of Lord Garmoyle, and in July, 1883, he proposed to her. Miss For- tescue accepted, and at once informed hi mother. Lord Garmoyle’s mother also in- formed the late Earl Cairns, who cordially ap- proved his son's course, and wrote to Miss Fortescue ina friendly spirit,to which she suitably responded. Soon after this Earl Cairns told Lis son that while he would not have made such a choice, yet he gave his con- sent to the marriage. In August of the same year, however, Lord Garmoyle informed Miss Fortescue that his family had strong views against the stage and at his request Miss Fortescue abandoned the profession and her sister, who was preparing to go on the stage, desisted from her prep: tious, Miss Fortescue was then invited to Earl Cairns’ home, where she recer an affection- ate greetiug from the tamily, The next step ne on January 21, 1844, when Lord Garmoyle Gnddeniy and without the slightest previous hint wrote to Miss Fortescue breaking off the engagement, He expressed the deepest love and admiration for her, but said his family could not accept her on account of her profes- sion, Miss Fortescue promptly resented this insulting treatment by bringing asuit of breach of promise of marriage against Lord Garmoyle, claiming £50,000 in damages. It came to trial on November 26, 1884. in the presence of a great crowd of fashionable people, but the defendant was not among them, After Sir Charies Russell had presented the plaintiff's case, Sir Henry James, then attorney general, arose and, after justifying the course pursued by Lord Garmoyie in breaking off the engagement, declared that his client was then wiiling, asthe had always been. to grant a com- pensation to the young lady for the broken con- tract. He would consent without objection to averdict of £10,000. At the same time, ho added, Lord Garmoyle wished to state that not the slightest imputation rested on Miss For- tescue’s character. She had througbout their intercourse conducted herself as a highly mod- est and high-minded English gentiewoman. A verdict for this large amount was promptly rendered, the money was paid over without de- lay to Miss Fortescue, and she resumed her in- terrupted stage Tareer. On April 2, 1885. the first Earl Cairns per | and Lord Garmoyle succeeded to the tithe um the prospect of ultimately inberiting a large landed estate, Lord Cairns had conunued nis search for a suitable wife. and in February, 1886, his engagement was announced with Miss Adele Grant, the beautiful aud popular daugh- ter of prominent New Yorker. In three or four months, however, it was announced that the engagement had been broken by Miss Grant's father “for unanswerable reasons.” According to the rumors current at the time, the engagement was broken because Lord Cairns insisted upon a loan from the mother of his prospective bride to enable him to meet the demands of his most pressing creditora, Lord Cairns continued his search for a wife, and finally on December 17, 1887, secured one in the person of Miss Olive Berens, a young lady who is said to rival, if she does not sur- pass, in facial beauty Miss Fortescue and Miss Grant, Her mother is an auth d her father, who belongs to a wealthy Hebrew family, is a gentleman famous for his skill in photography and navig: Her beauty ws inherited trom the Herberts of Mucross, The young ear! leaves no children, so that the titles and financial prospects of the family pass to his brother, the Hon.
