AT cameos | Os Aw Sues Ayer's Pills are commended as the best regulator of the liver, stomach and bowels, Dr. Thomas Conners of Centre Bridge, Pa. says: “Having long used Ayer’s Pilla with good results I can confidently recommend them above all others.” Dr. George P. Spencer of Unity, N. H., writes: “I consider Ayer's Pills far superior, ss # cathartic, to any that are furnished by the pharmscopa:ia.” “After suffering for eight years from chills and fever, with only occasional intervals of rest, I wae cured by Ayer’s Pills alone. My case had resisted treatment with the usual doctors’ prescriptions and a great number of proprietary medicines; but under the influence of Ayer's Pills the chills and fever ceased, my liver and stomach were restored to healthy action and my former good health returned. Ayer's Pills cannot be excelled as # remedy for disorders caused by mala- rial potsona."—8. L. Balrox, Gordon, Tex. “For Headache Ayer's Pills are the most effective medicine."—G.

Baxrrworx, May 25.—A long train of loaded Baltimore and Ohio cars while being pushed along Pratt street this morning broke in twain and the detached part went down grade at frightful rate. On the up grade at Hollingsworth street the runaway cars came to a _ standstill. The engineer in charge was not aware that he had lost a part of his train and in a little while sent the cars that remained with the engine down upon those that had got a way, wrecking two of the cars and causing a loas of $5,000. ———>—__"— A Bank Closed. Bryanamton, N.Y., May 23.—The Owego National Bank of Owego closed today. The cashier is C, A. Thompson, who is charged by C. H. Platt, president of the Public Grain and Stock Exchange of New York, with acting in concert with James F. Dee to defraud the ex- change of 30,000. Dee'was the correspondent of the exchange at Owego. Depositors are not worried. One of the directors of the bank said this morning that their deposits amounted to but #52,000.

The tariff bill was read in the Senate at 2 o'clock this afternoon and referred at once to the committee on finance. Ten thousand copies were ordered printed for the use of the Senate, “THE REGISTER OF LABOR.” Several bills were under discussion by the Senate committee on education and labor today, but final action was taken on only one. It w: resolved to report to the Senate, without recom- mendation, Senator Turpie’s bill directing the commissioner of labor to complete. and publish annually “the Register of Labor,” to contain the names and addresses | selected and alphabatically arrauged with ref- erence to occupations o of persous of well known excellence in the vicinity in any line of skilled labor or mechanism, the names to be taken in proportion to population from the different | states and territories and districts of the Union, Said register to contain only the names of per- sons actually engaged in the manual work of their respective callings. Of these registers twice as many copi e to be published as of the ‘Army and Navy Register.” THE NICARAGUA CANAL. Under a resolution adopted by the Senate in executive session a subcommittee of the Sen- ate committee on foreign relations has been inquiring into the condition of the affairs of the Nicaragua Canal Company under that pro- vision of the charter which requires annuai re- ports to be made to_the United States govern- ment. Ex-Senator Warner Miller, president of the company, and Chicf Engineer Menocal ap- peared before the subcommittee and described the work that had been accomplished and was under construction, ‘TO RESTORE DROPPED CADETS TO THE NAVY.

Matters Before the District Committee Today. RAILROAD BILLS TALKED OVER ON THE HOUSE SIDE—THE WASHINGTON AND WESTERN ROAD— A DEMAND FOR AN ALL-NIGHT STREET CAR SERVICE. Nine members of the House District com- mittee were on hand at the regular meeting of the committee this morning. T. P. B. Sands was given a hearing on the proposed Washing- ton and Western railroad. This road proposes to run from the east end of their line on the Virginia side of the river, to cross the river to Georgetown, proceeding castwardly by way of Water street to Rock creek, crossing the creek by a suitable bridge, and thence by the most practicable route along Virginia avenue and 26th or 27th streets west, in Washington city, southwardly to Bstreet north, and thence east along the line of B street, and through reservation number four to the terminus of the extension near 17th street west, at or near which point the company shall erect suitable passenger and freight stations, The right to occupy a strip of land 100 feet in width through the govern- ment reservation on the west side of lith street west and south of B street for 1,000 feet ia granted to the road, with the right also to acquire by purchase or condemnation such pieces of land as may be required for ite stations and ware- houses within the cities of Georgetown and Washington on the route authorized for its‘use. And from the intersection of 26th or 27th streets and B street to construct and operate a railroad along the southern embankment of the reclaimed grounds, connecting by a curve west of and near the Long Bridge with the tracks of the Pennsylvan: ilroad Company at a grade at the north end of the Long Bridge. MR. HODNETT'S CLAIM. The two bills and petition in reference to the claims of John Pope Hodunett, which had been referred to the District committee, were or- dered to be referred back to the House with the request that they be referred to the com- mittee on claims. OTHER RAILROAD MATTERS. The adverse report from the Commissioners in regard to the Lee railroad bill already men- tioned in Tue Stan was received by the com- mittee today, A memorial was also received from nearly all the property owners on Rhode Island avenue opposing the ranting of a char- ter to the proposed City and Suburban Rail- road Company. ALI-NIGHT STREET CARS, There is a demand coming up to the Capitol for an all-night service on the street car lines in the city. A bill is now before the committee to compel the Washington and Georgetown road to furnish its patrons with such an accom- modation, and President Hurt has asked for a hearing on the bill, which will be given tomor- row at 11 o'clock. CAPT, KENNEDY TO TELL SOMETHING NEW. Capt. Kennedy, the well-known Capitol guide, proposes to inaugurate his new venture of telling what he knows about the Capitol with the aid of a large number of stereopticon views at Willard Hall tomorrow night. The exhibition will be entirely for the benefit of members of the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives and press. Mr. Kennedy says he roposes to show these inhabitants of the big uilding onthe hill several things about the Capitol that they never knew before. On the Senate Side, There was an unusually large attendance at the regular weekly meeting of the Senate Dis- trict committee today. All the members, with the exception of Senator Spooner, were present, and a good deal of business was done. It was expected that Senator McMillan’s subcommittee would report on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad bill, but things were not just ripe; next week they may be. STREET RAILROAD TAX ARREARS, First to be acted upon was the Edmunds resolution calling for information relative to unpaid special assessments on street railroad companies for paving done between the tracks, A report from the Commissioners recommending enforcement of the law was con- sidered and then the whole matter was turned over to a subcomm ittee—Senators Ingalls and Faulkner—wilh instructions to investigate and report at next meeting. NOT READY FOR ACTION. Senator Ingalls’ bill to authorize the con- demnation of land on Rock creek for the pur- pose of a park was laid on the table and so was the bill to incorporate the Monumental Street Railway Company, the Commissioners havin; asked for additional time before they repor the measure to the committee, THE MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS” BILL, Very radical amendments were made in the bill to regulate the practice of medicine in the District. This bill, when introduced, had the appearan:> of 1 measure which would bear heavily on those medical men who were em- ployed in the government departments, but it doesn’t look that way now. It provides, as it was reported by Senator Mc- Millan, that eclectic phy # shall be represented on the board of examiners who are to pass on the diplomas of all graduates or newly arrfved disciples of Esculapius and oth- ers in the same line of business. Dental sur- geons are not to be on the board. It specific- ally states that properly qualified medical men, if employes in the departments, shall be reg- istered and shall enjoy all the privileges that go with registration. THE ARLINGTON ROAD. Some time was taken up in discussing the bill appropriating #50,000 for improving the public road in Alexandria county, Va., connect- ing the Chain, Aqueduct and Long Bridges and running in front of Arlington National Cemetery. The matter had been _re- ferred to the Secretary of War and he had reported favorably thereon. The committee also favored the measure, but the question of jurisdiction came up and Senator Barbour was designated to report the bill to the Senate with a request that it be referred to the committee on military affairs, THE DENTISTRY BILL. The bill toregulate the practice of dentistry was amended so as to change the limits of the registration fee from @1 to $10 instead of from $1 to $20. TO RESTRICT POOL SELLING. There will be weeping and wailing among the pool sellers and book makers if the Bar- bour bill, as amended, becomes a law. The committee has concluded its work on the measure and as it was reported it is provided that no pool rooms shall e Op- erated within the limits of the District except upon regulation race tracks run by rep- utable clubs or individuals, The tracks must be the one-mile article and the individual or corporation must possess at least seventy acres of land in and around the circle or ellipse. Pools may be sold and books made at those tracks, but only during a regular meet- ing at that track for races to be run there and onthe day of the races for which pools are sold. The measure is carefully considered and is about as stiff as it can be made, OTHER BILLS ACTED ON, Senator Platt’s bill to invalidate wills made in the District under certain conditions was laid on the table and the following were re- ferred to the District Commissioners: A bill to incorporate the Georgetown Union Bridge and Railway Company; a bill creating th® office of inspector of ha ay, straw, grain and feed, and a bill to suspend the opera- tion in certain cases of the statute of limita- tions. TARIFF BILL IN THE SENATE, A Proposed Substitute for the Me- Kinley Bill. It is the present intention of members of the Senate finance committee to report a substitute for theMcKinley tariff bill when their consider- ation of that measure shall have been com- pleted. This course is deemed to be better than to report the bill as it came from the House with amendments, for when it gogs into conference there will be but one question to settle instead of a myriad of differences upon points in detail, This was the course pursued with the tariff bill of 1883, and it was found to result in a saving of time, The finance committee will endeavor to maintain its determination not to give oral he: to any interested parties, but it was re] to- day that im lors of several cities to the num- ber of 2, will come to age} et week Fanon Eden to be heard. number, or even a much smaller one, ons, spears ae a body it is probable that the will open its doors to the representatives, One Nomination Today. The President today sent to-the Senate the following nomination: Wm. H. Davis of San risor of Consus for the first district of Scientists to Leave This City Sunday if the Funds are Raised. THE PLANS OF THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETI—A REGION WHICH 18 INVOLVED IN MYS- TERY—A MOUNTAIN THAT HAS NEVER BEEN CLIMBED—HOW THE EXPEDITION WILL Go, The officers and members of tho National Geographic Society of this city are making energetic efforts tocomplete in time the fund that is being raised to enable the society to carry out its project of exploring the glaciers of Alaska this summer. The plans for this ex- Pedition have been carefully made and are well matured, but it has been decided so re- cently to push the matter that it has been nec- essary to do quick work in the raising of the funds in order to allow the party time to catch the steamer leaving Seattle for Alaska on June 7. Incase the necessary money is forthcom- ing today and tomorrow Messrs. I. C. Russell and Mark B. Kerr of the geological survey, who will form the scientific portion of the party, will leave the city Sunday night for the western coast, THE GENERAL PLAN. This plan of climbing Mount St. Elias is but partof as large scheme to map the entire glacial region of Alaska, to determine, if possi- ble, the source and course of the large rivers which are only known near the sea as tribu- taries to the great Yukon.

THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN. The mountain, which is 19,500 feet in height from its own base, is counted the highest in the world as regards actual height rather than rel- ative height from the sea level, and it has never ed been ascended. Four or five expedi- tions have been sent out with the object of Leese | it, but all have failed, and the region beyond the range of which it forms the central peak remains a mystery. FIFTEEN MEN. The present expedition will consist of fifteen men, two of them the scientists, The others will be picked up in Seattleand Sitka, The geological survey hus provided an elaborate outfit of in- struments and 9 paratus for photography and topography. e actual work of climbing and surveying ith begin about July 1, and the party will probably start for home November 1. THE FUNDS. Mr. Chas. J. Bell, the banker, who is receiy- ing the contributions to the Geographical Society's Alaskan exploration fund, says that the money is coming in ata gratifying rate, but that there are a few hundred dollars yet to be raised in order to complete the desired amount. The Agricultural Department has asked the | ee of sending a botanist with the expe- jon, ee PHILADELPHIA’S CRUISER. Quaker City People Want the Ship Fitted Out at League Island. Acommittee of prominent Philadelphians, headed by Mr. Charles Lawrence, is in town for the purpose of attempting to persuade Sec- retary Tracy to have the new cruiser Philadelphia finished and equipped at the League Island navy yard. But the Secretary was down the river on the Despatch all day and the committee could not see him, It is not likely that they will accom- plish the end for which they are striving, as the League Island yard is now closed and will not probably be opened for some time. It is thought that the committee is empowered to make certain presents to the cruiser on be- half of the citizens of Philadelphia, MATRIMONIAL COMPLICATIONS. Why Clara R. Bell Brown Wants to Be Divorced from Austin P, Brown. Clara R. Bell Brown has filed a bill for a di- yorce from Austin P. Brown through Mr. D. W. Glassie, asking that a former decree di- vorcing them be annulled and that alimony and the custody of the children be awarded her, She states that they were married at the Epiphany Church October 20, 1870, and have two children; that they lived together happily till respondent entered into business with one Warren Brown of Maine, who brought his wife and daughter Cora to this city. She charges that respondent became infatuated with the daughter, took long drives with her, &c., and that he com- mitted adultery with her. She states that respondent proposed to her to take the children, go to Europe and travel, and he would allow her €1,000 per month and then urged her to et a divorce, but not to use tho name of Core rown in her petition. She states that she was induced to sign a paper while sick; that the contents was not read over to her, and December 5, 1878, she was handed what pur- ported to be a decree of divorce. She further states that she, believing that she was free to marry, on April 3, 1882, was united in the bonds of matrimony to Thomas B, Meeks in Balti- more, and lived with him as his wife until he taunted her with living with him in adultery, alleging that her divorce was not legal. She states that she then returned here and endeavored to sce the papers in the divorce case of December, 1878, and it was not until July or August that she succeeded. She now avers that, while the sig- nature to the petition in that case resembles her own, that she did not write it; that the charges’ in the petition are fulse and scandalous and if she signed any such paper her signature was fraudulently procured, She states that the respondent grudgingly doled out to her from $25 to $40 per month for her support, while he was living with Cora Brown in affluent circumstances. She now asks that the decree of 1873 be set aside; that a decree of divorce be granted ber with alimony, &c. —— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, BUILDING PERMITS were issued today as follows: L, Staub, one brick dwelling, 1513 32d street northwest, 22.000; R.

DISTRICT CORPORATIONS, He Will Succeed Mr. Beck on the Sens | A Bill Providing for | for Trust Companies ate Finance Committee, Withont holding any formal conference the democratic Senators have decided that Mr. Carlisle should suceeed Mr, Beck on the finance committee, and the assignment committee will recommend to the Vice President that he be assigned to that committee. Coming to the Senate equipped xs he is to deal with the tariff question, and coming over to the Senat in company with the tariff bill which bh» has studied to attack, the democrats recoxuized at once, in defiance of senatorial traditions, that the proper place for him is on the finance com- mittee, where he can lead in the tariff fight. There has been no controverty over the question, and Mr. Carlisle will be given an opportunity to distinguish himself thet no man before him has had on entering this decorous body wedded to form and tradition. Mr. Carlisle wanted to be sworn in today, but his credentials have not yet arrived, He will probably take is seat on Monday. THE MOKMON CHURCR CASE. The U. 8S. Supreme Court Vacates Its Mandate. In the United States Supreme Conrt today ex-Senator McDonald made a motion for a re- hearing of the Mormon case and to vacate the mandate in the case, The court refused to grant a rehearing, but decided to allow the latter part of the motion—asking for the vacating of the mandate. The court esid it was satisfied that the conclusions reached were correct, but was not with the form of the decree entered, and would take this matter under advisement until next term. It is understood that the object is to ascertain if there be not some method by which the money accumulated by the Church of Latter Day Saints can be returned to some source that will not use the funds for the propagation of polygamy, there being a re- luctance to absolutely confiscate the property. THE DANGEROUS TRIP WIRE. The Two Suspected Bx Boys Acquitted for Want of Evidence. The reopened case of Charles Cephas and Lester Smith, the colored boys who were re- cently tried and convicted of placing a piece of wire across the sidewalk on L street near 3d, which so badly injured Frank Payne last Sun- day night, as heretofore published in Tar Star, was called in the Police Court this afternoon. Gen, Carrington and Lawyer Hewlett detended the boys. The court heard the evidence of two colored boys, but it was different from that given at the former trial. There was no proof to show that they put the wire across the pavement and the charge was dismissed. A charge of vagrancy against t them w was also dismissed. CONTESTED ELF LECTION CASES, Action in Favor of Seating Langston and Miller, Colored Kepublicans. The House committee on elections today, by a party vote, decided to unseat Venable of Vir- ginia and seat Prof. John M. Langston, the colored contestant, in his place, and to unseat Elliot of South Carolina to give the seat to Miller, colored republican. By a unanimous vote it was decided that Mr. Morgan of Mississippi, the sitting member, (democrat) was entitled to retain his seat, Gen. Chalmers was thus thrown overboard. The seating of Langston and Miller will in- crease the colored representation in the House, Cheatham having gone in without a contest. Prof. Langston is an anti-Mahone republican and is one of the most distinguished men of his race, ‘THE ARKANSAS CONTEST. Before the full committe met Representative Lacey's subcommittee on the Clayton-Breckin- ridge case had a short session, which was de- voted entirely to a discussion of the further order of proceedin; Attorney General Garland, as counsel for Mr. Breckinridge, ex- pressed a desire to submit further testimony upon a braneh of the case which has not yet been presented to his satisfaction. Chairman Lacey remarked that the subcom- mittee was disposed to admit all important testimony, but preterred that this be taken by deposition in Arkwnsas or verbally in Wash- ington, as the subcommittee did not desire to again visit Arkansas, Mr. Garland will submit a formal application to coutinue the case next Monday.

Godding of St. Elizabeth Hospital for his hospitalities to the asso- ciation and their congressional guests on the occasion of their uphill and overland tour to Giesboro’ manor last Saturday and for the rousing words of encouragement for the proposed bridge which he spoke at that time. A resolution to entirely separate the bridge scheme from the plan to reclaim waste lands aiong the branch was offered, but rejected as inopportune, the committees of Cougress having asked that the request for the surveys be coupied together.

As already printed in Tax Sram the House District committee, st its tast regular meeting, sathorized a favorable report on the general bill affecting the corporations of the District of Columbia, and providing for further and additional pur- poses for which corporations may be formed. The committee thought it better to recom. mend a general bill than to especially char- ter special trust companies for whose especial benefit the legislation was proposed, The matter was put into Mr. Hemphill’s hands and he today submitted his report on the sub- ject. PROVISIONS OF THE BILL. The reported bill provides that any time hereafter any number of natural persona, not less than fifty, may associate themselves to- gether to forma company for the purpose of carrying on any one the three classes of ad, towi gage business; cond. A ttle insurance, trast, loan and mortgage business; third. A security, guaranty, indemnity. loan and mortgage busi- ness: provided that the capital stock of any of these companies simil not be less than €1,000,000, and provided further, that any of the com- panies may also doa storage business when their capital stock amounts to the sum of net Jess than $1,200,000. UNDER THE CONTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. Notice of intention to apply for a charter must be published intwo newspapers in the District of Columbia. The charters are to be granted by the controller of curreney, who is to have the same visitorial powers over the corporations as is conferred ‘on him in regard to national banks. The gen- eral power to act as trust organizations is given as follows When organized under subdivision one of the first sections of this act to accept and execute trusts of any andevery description whieh may be committed or transferred to them, and to accept the office and perform the duties of re- " assignee, executor, administrator, dian of the estates of minors, with the of the guardian of the person of such minor, and committee of the estates of lunatics ‘and idiots whenever any hip or any exh office or appointment ix committed or transferred to them, with their consent, by any person, body wed or corporate, or by any courtin the District of Columbia, or in any of the states or territories of the United States.” MR. HEMPRILL's REPORT, Mr. Hemphill’s report on the subject says: There is every reason why the people of the District should bave the same facilities for the transaction of their business that is now en- joyed by most of the states and territories, and it is especially just that — should be permitted to transact su business by incorporations of : own organization, with the proper subjection to local control and taxation, whea otherwise the business would be transacted by foreign companies without any such subjection or tax- ation.” AN IMPORTANT YN AVAL CHANGE, New Superintendent of the Observatory— Capt.
