He Makes an Argument in His Own Behalf Before the House Committee. Representative Breckinridge of Arkansas made an argumént in his own behalf today be- fore the House committee on elections, which is considering his title to his seat, He read a Jong letter prepared by ex-Attorney General Garland. This paper attacked the subcom- mittee which visited Arkansas for its fail- ure to take testimony proffered by Mr Breckinridge, as, for instance, in the case of ballot boxes where the count was impugned and where Mr. Breckinridge was not allowed to prove the vote in detail. It was also alleged asamatter of complaint that the subcom- mittee had acted adversely upon the applica- tions without reference to the full ittee, TOUCHING THE ALLEGED FRAUDS in Woodruff and Conway counties, ho held that these allegations had been negatived by the testimony taken before the United States court and the questions were res adjudicata. As to Taylor's testimony respecting the stealing of the ballot box at Plummerville, the brief states that Taylor was, by his own confes- sion, an accomplice; that his testimony was tuo stro! that it proved too much and that by the rules of evidence, standing alone and uncorroborated, it was worthless, Moreover, the events described by Taylor had had nomore ct upon the election in the district than upon the election for mayor of New York. The record failed utterly to show that Breckinridge was not elected, but, on the contrary, it jowed that he was elected. Therefore, it was not surprising that John M. Clayton, sensible and wise as he was said to be, did not want to contest the election, and yielded only upon the requests of the republican leaders. RESPECTING CLAYTON'S MURDER, it was perfectly clear that nothing more could have been done to find the murderer than had Kar done by the officers and people of the si When he had concluded the reading of the brief Mr. Breckinridge proceeded to supple- ment it by a long statement of the facts within his knowledge connected with the killing of Clayton and the efforts to discover the mur- rer.

Mattie Simmons, the young girl who ran away from her home, No. 982 F street south- west, last Sunday morning, returned yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock, Tho story of her peculiar disappearance has already been told in Tue Stan. She says that she spent Sunday and Monday nights with a friend of her mother's who lives on H street between 2d and 3d streets north- east, and that yesterday morning she started home. She wandered around town ali the morning and at noon she was recognized by a young man who knew her at the Capitol grounds, He induced her to go home and she reached there in sufety, as stated. The ouly explanation that has been made for her ucer performance is a probable distaste for the restraints of home life. Mattie’s fatber said today that he had never stated to the detectives at headquarters, as was reported in Tue Stan yesterday, that he was inclined to believe that his daughter had eloped. ——— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, VITAL STATISTIOS, Health Officer Townsend's report for the week ending July 12 states that the number of deaths was 101; white, 57; colored, 44.

Senator Frye, in reply to Secretary Blaine’s letter of the ith instant has written him as follows: “Your letter leaves me in some doubt as to facts, I assume that your views are contained in what isknown as the Hale amendment; that you know, for instance, what the Latin republics will received of ours free from duty in com; tion for sugar. I assume that the amendment was the result of thorough investigation, The ty about it is this: The amount of sugar to be re- ceived from the states would be com ively small and the consumer of sugar would receive no benefit from it Your letter to me extends this idea of reci- rocity to Cuba and Porto Rico. I admit F sugar is received free from those islands, as well as from the Latin republics the people would be benefited and sugar would practically free. But will Spain admit into these islands free of duty the list of articles named in that amendment. Of course wo could not enact a law more favorable to Spain than to the repub- lies, Do you know what Spain would exchange for free sugar; and can you give a list of the articles she would receive. The better way, probably, would be to make the list she would receive the control- ling one for ail these countries, A CRUEL PRACTICAL JOKE, Probable Fatal Encounter With a Big Swarm of Bees. George Schmeh! of Bern township, Pa., is in critical condition as the result of a trick played on him by several practical jokers. The attending physician does not think that he will recover. Schmehl is employed on Deck’s farm. He always claimed that he had the power to charm bees so that they would not sting him, He was often known to handle them without injury. Yesterday morning he started out to rob a bumble bee’s nest in one of Deck’s fields. The nest was located on a fence post, and when Schmehl arrived the bees were all on the in- sider He laid down at the foot of the post, intending to wait for them to come out, He was tired and fell asleep. Several companions saw him and determined to have a@ little fun with him. They shook the fence after aj proaching cautiously and then ran away, while the bees flew outand stung Schmehl unmerci- folly. They lit on his face and head by the hundreds and he ran half mad through the fields, not knowing what to do. Finally he plunged into a pool of water, where he got rid of his tormentors, and where he was found more dead than alive. His face and head are swollen out of all semblance of human shape. NOT RICH, BUT DELINQUENT. A Supposed Millionaire Attempted Suicide. An investigation is being made into the ac- count of Henry C. Thompson, the supposed millionaire of Beverly, N. J., who made an un- | successful attempt to destroy himself by shoot- ing himself in the head at Jersey City Saturday. The facts that have already been gleaned show that Mr. Thompson has been very much over- rated financially, and that instead of being a millionaire he is about bankrupt. In addition to this he is said to be delinquent as trustee of the estate of Christian Weymann, deceased, of Beverly, amounting to $17,000, The income of this estate he has been paying to the legatec, Joseph Weymann, but the latter's counsel, Mark R. Sooy of Mount Holly, had reason to believe that something was wrong and hada citation issued by the orphans’ court of Burling- ton county compelling him to file his account as executor, together with a list of the assets of the estate, Thompson filed his account at the April term, but did not furnish an inventory of the asscti, nor has he dene so yet. His co- executor, Jacob Wilson of Beverly, is very much concerned over the matter, aud was in Mt. Holly yesterday consulting his counsel, Joseph H, Gaskill, as to what was the best course to pursue. He believes that the estate is very much involved. : —-se0_ BEAR HUNT ON THE RIDGE. Bruin Gave His Pursuers a Long Chase, But Was Finally Run Down. BL All the male guests at the fashionable resorts on the Blue Ridge mountains near Penmar turned out Sunday to participate in a grand bear hunt. For several days reports had been coming in thet bruin was haunting the neigh- borhood, and his presence caused no little alarm. It was determined to hunt hira down, For « long time their search was unsuccessful, and some of the hunters were inclined to give up the chase, when the bear, a huge black one, was discovered on the summit of the mountain, Then the hunt begar in earnest. Bruin dashed off with his pursuers on the trail armed with all kinds of weapons. ‘They came up with him on Echo mountain. Here the dogs brought him to bay and kept him occupied while the hunters riddled him with bullets, The body was hauled back ina wagon. He weighed 800 pounds, + eee —_____ HOW CHASE RAISED MONEY. An Interesting Financial History of the War Promised. ‘That veteran New York banker, Mr. George 8. Coo, has in contemplation the writing of a book or pamphlet in which he will give the inside history of the carly attempts of Secre- tary Chase, of Lincoln's cabinet, to raise money to carry on the war. Mr. Coe will tell nh an anecdotal way about that great crisis which the banks of New York, Philadelphia and Boston met by agreeing to take the first gov- ernment loan. He was one of the chief actors in that movement, and his relations with See- retary Chase were intimate and hia meetings with President Lincoln frequent, Coo tells an interesting story of one meeting between the bankers and Mr. Lincoln. The President, in hia unconventional and homely way, had re- ceived the bankers and had listened to their rather abstruse explanations of what they though the financial policy of the government should be. Mr. Lincoln plainly could notcom- rehend the ideas of the gentlemen, and at last e said, ‘Feenance, feenance; I hear a great deal about this matter of feenance nowadays, but I don't know very much about it, and I don’t think anybody else docs.” Mr. Coe says that Lincoln said this, speaking in his shrill, falsetto tones, and his honesty of utterance, as well as comical manner, caused the bankers to break out in most hearty laughter, in whichMr, Lincoln joine ni Business or Pleasure?

From the Baltimpre Sun, Mr. Harry Beli of Baltimore, who rides a magnificent trotter, tried an experiment at Cape May Sunday that nearly cost him his life. About 2:30 o'clock, when the beach was entirely deserted and no one about to render ausistance, even if it was necessary, the youth rode his horse out into the surf, which was running un- usually high, Riding out to where the surf touched his feet while on the horse's baok, young Bell, filled with the idea that he could enjoy it still more by venturing out farther, did so and horse and rider gradually worked their way ont until the horse was unable to re- tain a foothold, Even with this he was not satisfied and urged the horse out farther still, Suddenly a huge wave came and dashed over horse and rider, unseated the latter, forced the animal shoreward and in receding carried the youth out withit, Then came a le with the breakers that almost disastrous, Finally, however, the young man to t near enough shore to gain s foothold and en succeeded in reaching the strand utterly exhausted.

A 7 D.C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 1890, DOCTORS DON’T LIKE IT. The Newly Appointed Police Surgeon Not a Member of the Association. Dr. J. W. Bayne resigned the office of police surgeon some time ago and Dr. M. B, Strickler was appointed in his place. The resignation took effect yesterday. Dr. Bayne was re- quested to resign by Commissioner Hine for the purpose of making a place for Dr. Strick- ler, whose appointment had been asked by Representative Atkinson. Dr. Bayne was told that he was selected for removal because, hav- ing a lucrative practice, he did not need the office. The Commissioners thought it best to give some young physician a chance. Members of the Medical Association of the District have now taken the matter up, and ex- press indignation at Dr. Strickler's appoint- ment because he is not recognized by them as in good standing, bis application for member- ship in the Medical Association having been rej he objection made to him in the Medical Association was, it is stated, that he had not adhered to the idea regarding fees which the doctors think is right and that he has adver- tised himself in an unprofessional way. His card bears a statement which other phy i consider objectionable, that he hai “twenty-eight years in active practice.” He is not a young physician just starting ont, The action of the Medical Association, it is said, prevents any of the members of that body from consulting with Dr. Strickler. WHAT DR. STRICKLER SAYS. Dr. Strickler is decidedly indignant over some of the statements that have been made about him. He is satisfied that all the hostil- ity to his appointment has risen out of profes- sional jealousy, or, at any rate, that was what he told a Stan reporter this afternoon. “They are provoked at me,” he said, “becauso T have been in this town only a few years and have already built up a large practice. I am not a member of the Medical Association of the District, it is true, but it is not true that none of the members would ever hold a consultation with me. Some of them might refuse, but there are also some of them whom I would refuse to consult, I have been biackballed for admission to the District Asso- ciation three times, but every time it was on some foolish pretext and then my application would be considered again. The first time I was blackballed because it was said that was a quack. I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and have a degree from their medical school in the class of 61.

The Vanderbilt’s Lose Control of the Chicago Stock Yards, A-special from Chicago says it has leaked out that Mr. Depew and the Vanderbilts have lost the Union Stock Yards Company, and that the control of the great yards, valued at #22,- 000,000, has passed to the Pennsylvania railroad syndicate. The news of the deal has created a sensation among Chicago millionaires. The Vanderbilts and their allies were certain for two weeks past that they were masters of the situation, but while the arrangements for re- organization were in progress the Pennsylvania ople stepped in and secretly purchased huge locks of the stock at prices away beyond any- thing that had previously been offered.

Peo- Is IT THE SAME GIRO? A Stogular Divorce in New York That Recalls the Christiancy Scandal. Arather sensational divorce case bas beer begun in New York by Mrs. Ada A. Giroagains' Edward A. Giro, a diamond broker. Mra Giro, who was married in 1984, charging cruclty, abandonment and non-support, while Giro has Made counter charges, The wife bes made allegations that Giro hee been engaged im « matrimonial swindle through the means of advertising and Seocing his victims, The similarity of mames and occupations has given rise to the belief that Giro is the «ame who figured here in the famous Christiancy divorce case over ten years ago. ‘THE GIRO IN THE CRRISTIANCY CARR. ‘The name given for that Giro was Emil, Ba- Senator Christiancy was, as will be remom- bered, United States minister to Peru and hie young wife, nee Miss Lugenbeel, was in Lime with him. It was alleged that an acquaint ance was begun there between Mra Chrie- ud Emil Giro, who was engaged iz Up diamonds, and this aequaimtance continued on their return in the steamer, and it is charged in the papers filed m court by Mr. Christiancy thet they committed adultery in the St. James*Hotel in this city. This Giro testified that he came here by ap- jintment and went with her to the St. Jamen, Sire. Christiancy strennously denied this charge and a woman who bore a resemblance to Mrs. Christiancy tertified that she was the party who went with Giro and the whole state- ment was pat up. Subsequently Mr, Christ- iancy withdrew the charge and filed an amended bill charging desertion and on this change a decree of divorce wus made. THE MATRIMONIAL SWINDLE. The New York Herald today says in refer- ence to the pending divorce proceedings that counter charges made by Mr. Giro incensed Mra. Giro. She began by employing a detect- ive to answer one of her busband’s matrimo- J advertisements in order to obtain evidence that he was still engaged in this peculiar line of operations, The advertisement which it i# said Git put in the papers was as follows MAN OF MATURE AGE AND GOOD Poaition honorably desires the ecquait- niddiv-aced indy similarly situa ¥.

Giro & Co.. No. 1441 Broadway. Mrs. ae asserts that Rausom is an alias used by diro, MAKING MONEY PY It, ‘She asserts in an affidavit in support of a pe- tition for alimony that Giro himself told her that he had made from $18,000 to €20,000 through his matrimouial advertisement swin- dling in two years. Whenever ony fuss was made by a victim he got associates of his to effect some sort of a compromise for him. He dincs bis victims at expentive restan- rants, such as Delmonico’s and Martinelli's, she says, but he never thought of taking bis wife wo —— . She attixes to her affidavit a receipted bill from Martinelli for $149.75, show- ang n orders of expensive wines. Giro usually told her that if she wanted good din- Bere she should get invitations from others, as be had no objection. He wears expensive jow- elry and always has pleuty of money to spend on his own pleasures, as he makes $5,000 a yaer through his legitimate business, Mrs, Giro is partly corroborated by Mra. Mattie G, Kortright, who has made an affidavit announcing that ehe is one of Giro's victima, She says she met Giro through answering his advertisement. He got £4,000 from ber in two months, and although he promised to return her money he bas not done so. She thinks thet be is one of a gang of Cubans who have combined to fleece confiding women. He led her to believe that he was a widower, thoughbe was then living with his wife. He represented that be was a man of wealth, but she would not now believe anything he might say under oath. He threatened to kill her ifshe prosecufed him. She met him on the street after he bad swindled ber and be turned and ran away. sos Ex-Congressman Pidcock Arrested, Warrants were issued by Justice Rusch of He boken yesterday for the arrest of ex-Congrese man Jas.
