Lai! Telegrams 0 The Str THE PASTOR WAS INDISCREET. Rev. Dr. Williams of Chicago Disci- plined by the Presbytery. Crrcaco, Int., Nov. 11.—The Chicago pres- bytery has found the Rev. H. 8. Williams, pas- tor of the First Presbyterian Church of Englo- wood, guilty of every charge brought against him, All of yesterday and far into the night the trial lasted and before the close the mem- bers were tangled up in a parliamentary wrangle. For almost a year this long-drawn-out case has been before the people. The trouble originated in a question of authority bet) the pastor and corporate body on on and the elders on the other. control the church and its prope those indorsing Mr. Williams claime church, so far as its control went, was s legal entity entirely separate from ecclesiastical jurisdiction. On this last ground, the differences having grown notorious, the matter was carried into the civil courts and before its settlement in the sustainment of the elders’ injunction had been reached was also brought before the presbytery. In both con- tests the elders have been victorious. No question as to the pastor's moral character has ever been hinted at in either case. but both friends and foes have acknowledged that his actions in antagonizing the elders were inju- dicious. After the presbytero had voted the pastor guilty last evening a committee reported » ver- dict, which recommended that Mr. Williams be severely and publicly reprimanded and that his torate be taken from him. This caused the ‘ev. Dr. Withrow to make an eloquent plea for the accused, A lively two hours’ debate ensued. Motions were numerous, What was finally adopted was & mild amendment to the first part of the com- mittee’s report, authorizing the moderator to (meray admonish the Kev. Mr. Williams that while he had had serious provocation, yet ho had been guilty of continued indiscretion in the management of his church. This was passed, with the understanding that something would follow in reference to the pastor's future relation to his church. But at this point Dr. McPherson moved that the resolution already adopted be proclaimed as the final judgment of the presbytery in the case. This’ precipitated another lengthy dis- cussion, many claiming that their previous vote for a mild part of the sentence had been obtained under false pretenses. Finally about midnight the presbytery adjourned. The counter trial of the elders comes up next Mon- day, and if Mr. Williams has not resigned by that time it is neserted that he will then be asked to do so. —__— RATES TO GO UP. The Cose of Carrying East-Bound Freight Will Be Increased. Cutcaco, Nov. 11.—All the roads in the Cen- tral Traffic Association having recorded the votes in favor of advancing east-bound freight rates, in accordance with the action of the joint committee in New York last Thursday, the Chicago committee of the Central Traffic Association have arranged the new tariffs to be put in effect Novem- ber 24 Under this resolution the rate of car service for refrigerator cars is fixed at %{ cent per mile, Canadian lines being allowed to make the rate via Montreal to Boston 1 cent on dressed beef, other lines being allowed to re- duce the dressed beef rate to the same point 2 cents per 100 pounds. _ oe a TICKET BROKERS CONFER. Ways and Means of Preserving the Bus!- ness Discussed. Cucaao, Nov. 11.—The Ticket Brookers’ As- sociation (scalpers) is holding a secret confer- ence in this city to take measures to counteract Chairman Finley's attempt to provent ticket scalping. The scalpers seem to rely greatly upon the assistance they expected to receive from the general passenger agents of some of the roads, who have stood by them thus far. Some of the scalpers have lately threatened to make se- rious trouble for some of those passenger offi- Peo if they do not aid them in crushing Mr. inley. It is doubtful, however. whether the scalpers will get much aid from the passenger officials, as the latterfcan no longer do as they please, it being the determination of the managers to back up Mr. Finley. It is understood that nearly all the tickets that were in scalpers’ hands at Kansas City have been withdrawn. —— TWO GERMAN SWINDLERS. They Cheated Their Friends and Filed to America, but Will Return. New York, Nov. 11.—Simon and Julius Kro- janker, brothers, of Bromberg, Prussia, where they were engaged in the grain business, be- came financially embarrassed and obtained thousands of dollars from bankers upon ficti- tious bills of lading of grain. After getting all the money from their unsuspecting bank that they could upon these bogus bills of lad- ing they deserted their families, fled to Eng- land and atter some time cume here. "Phe German government learned that they had sailed for New York and_ notified the Ger- man consul in this city. Upon the latter's complaint the brothers were srrested on the steamer which brought them hither. After a lengthy hearing Commissioner Lyman held them for extradition. Their counsel sued out a writ of habeas corpus and the case wes gone over before Judge Lacombe of the United States cireuit court, Today Judge Lacombe rendered a decision dismissing the writ, so that the two brothers will have to be returned to the German government. santos” leo LYMPH FOR CONSUMPTION, Means Used by Prof. Koch. Berux, Nov. 11.—In accordance with his statement that he desires neither material ad- vantage nor pecuniary reward for his discovery ofa method for the cure of consumption, Prof. Properties of ¢! Koch will in two or three days publish the full account of his researches in connection with the discovery. ‘The Frankfort Zeitung affirms that the lymph used for inoculating the patients will be within the reach of all and that it will cost only 25 marks for a small phial. The success of the treatment is certain in tabercular affections of the skin, joints and bones and also in the ear}; stages of pulmonary complaints. The lymp! destroys the tubercular bacilli. Several authorities confirm the report of the cure by Dr. Koch's method of a case of lupus on the face and arms within five days, ‘The lymph throws off the bacill: by the necrotic process.

The members of the committee are reticent, but claim that when this schedule w presented to the railway officials it will be asa unit and the men will under no circumstances consent to an acceptance of the scale for one branch without acceptance of all. — PENNSYLVANIA’S EXTENSION. It Will Take Control of the Vandalia Line on January 1. Cucaco, Nov. 11.—An Indianapolis special says: There is excéilent authority for stating that negotiations are practically perfected by which the Pennsylvania Company will, on the 1st of January, take control of the Vandalia line through the Torre Haute and Indianapolis road, which is the lessee of the St. Louis, Van- dalia and Terre Haute. The deal is said to a the Terre.Haute and Logansport divi- sion. At the time of the organization of the Pitts- bork lumbus, Chicago and St.‘Louis Rail- road Company it was understood that of the $45,000,000 of securities which would be placed on the market at once a portion would be used in the purchase of certain western lines and the building of extensions, Secyring control of the ands was one of the items mentioned; another is the purchase of the Toledo, Peoria and Western road. In this case it is stated that the Pennsylvania Company will take the road east of Peoria and the Chicago, Burling- ton ah Quincey the portion lying west of that poin _ The extensions contemplated, it is stated offi- cially, include the building of the Indianapolis and Vincennes road to Evansville and the building of the link needed to connect the Jef- fersonville, Madison and Indianapolis with the fifth division of the Pennsylvania lines.

Chief Signal Officer Greely in his annual re- port to the Secretary of War says there has been a decided improvement in the condition and efficiency of the army as regards signal practice. ‘The mest important event, he says, in connec- tion with the signal corps of the army has been the «mprecedentedly successful es- tablishment and maintenance of an elabo- rate system of heliograph signaling in the department of Arizona, About two thousand miles of heliograph lines were operated. Pre- viausly seventy-five miles constituted an ex- treme range for military heliograph work, but in this practice messages were successfully sent and answered over ranges, respectively, of eighty-five, eighty-eight, _ ninety-five, and communication had at 125 miles. At the end of the year Gen. Greely reports 1,337 | miles of military telegraph lines and 621 miles of sea coast lines in operation. The govern- ment receipts from the lines during the year aggregated 7,187. QUICK WORK ON FORECASTS, The duties devolving personally on the’fore- cast official, he says, permit less than one quarter of a minute on an average in which to decide, formulate and express a forecast for a state or district regarding any meteorological element, such as weather, temperature and wind. Rarely can a minute be given to the pre- redictions for any particular state or district. This time limitation forbids for an entire state anything bus a forecast of a general character, while again the variety of weather conditions in large areas often precludes the poesibility of briefly announcing than even in summarizing and much less in forecasting. SUCCESAFUL COLD WAVE PREDIGTIONS. Notwithstanding the difficulties there wore only fourteen occasions during the last year on which several cold waves were not predicted, 98 per cent of all the important cold wi being forecasted. In speaking of tornadoes Gen. Greely says that it appears from data on hand that inno state may a destructive tornado be expected oftener, onan average, than once in two years, and that the area over which the total destruction be expected is exceedingly small, n in the states most liable to these violent storms. Gen Greeley believes this matter of great public importance, and desires to impress upon the people at large how smail are the chances of persoual injury or loss of property in this connection. Iu conclusion, he says that tornadoes are not 80 destructive of life as thunder storms, ——— The Post Office Site.

That is the Ticket of a Republican From “the Great Northwest.”* .| “The great northwest is going to have some- thing to say about the next republican presi- dential ticket,” said a Sioux City, lowa, repub- lican to a Stam reporter today. ‘Heretofore the northwost has been little more than an | aggregation of territories. Now it’s all states. We | bave about made up our minds as to who we want and it strikes me that the majority of west- ern republicans will be enthusiastically in favor of Blaine and Poettigrew. Pettigrew fs ® good man and worthy every honor that can be heaped on him He is one of the few republicans in Congress who looks oft for the interests of his constitu- ente before he begins to think of himself. He does what they want and does it well He was all right on this tariff fight and he will con- tinue to be all right so long as he is in Congress, Pettigrew can afford to rum on the presidential ticket; he has lots of money. A remarkable feature in his career is the never ing success that attends his every movement. He is a thorough representative of the live northwest, a man of marked abilit; and clean hands, and if he is a candidate will draw every republican who lovesa good man right up to hi for Blaine and Pettigrew.” THE WALL STREET FLURRY. Nothing the Treasury Can Do to Im- Prove the Situation. There appears to de nothing for the Secre- tary of the Treasury to do to relieve the money market, and dispatches received this morning indicate that the sitaation is already improv- ing in Wall street. The flurry on the street is evidently cansed by the conditions over the water and it 1s ont of the reach of the Treasury Department. Secre- tary Windom has done more than any Secre- tary before him has ever done to preserve the equilibrium of the money market, and there is now nothing more that he can do. Since July 1st $98,000,000 have been put‘ out by the pur- chase of bonds, payment of interest, &c. This is more than has ever before been put out in the same length of time, and ought to be opough to prevent actual disaster. THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT “NOT IN IT.” As far asthe present situation is concerned, the Treasury Department is “not in it,” to use slang expression, Thore is now but $9,400,000 available cash in tho Treasusy. No secretary would think of reducing the amount below this, leaving nothing in the Treasury to meet ordi- nary and contingent expenses, ‘Therefore, the department is not in s position to come tothe relief of Wall street. The oe surplus does not include subsidiary coin, DILLON AND O’BRIEN, Neither the President Nor Secretary Blaine to Attend Their Meeting Here. The New York Herald's Washington corre- spondent says: Neither President Harrison nor Secretary Blaine will attend the Irish-American reception to Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien at Washington. The attendance of either would, Iam credibly advised, be treated as a marked act of discourtesy to the British govern- ment and would, probably, be regarded dip- lomatically as so serious an offense as to call for notice in the form of a protest handed into the State Department by the British min- ister. The legal position of Messrs, Dillon and O'Brien is that of fugitives from justice. If the offense charged against them was not one di- rected against the operations of public govern- ment in a part of the united kingdom, the par- tic ion of Gen. Harrison or Mr. Blaine in any welcome extended to them in this country | would Be held by Lord Salisbury to be a mere { matter of personal taste or judgment, But the conspiracy charged against them is one to ob- struct and defeat the laws of the realm and any countenance given to them by the President or Secretary of State would be resented in the usual diplomatic manner. OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CABINET other than the Secretary of State are free to take part in the reception of Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien without 4 breach of international pcre None are expected to do so, jowever, except possibly Secrotary ‘Tracy. If Mr. Parnell could be reached by cable he would probably be asked, in view of the ; Approching visit of two of his lieutenants | to the American capital, to indicate frankly to | the supporters of the Irish parlimentary party here what the authoritative position of that party is toward the plan of campaign, and that Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien are to advo- cate herein public meeting. Representative Irish-Americans are much perplexed over tho matter. I am told by a prominent Irishman here that it is vory certain that particular care will be taken by the committee of arrangements which may have the reception in hand not to call upon officials of the government to take part in the reception, as it would react upon the cause jto embroil the administration with its enemies. The visit of Mesara, Dillon jand O'Brien is — entirely distinctive | im its nature from the visit made to the country by Messrs, Esmonde and O'Connor during the | last administration, To entangle the admin- istration would be to alienate public sympathy from the cause, it is thought, and it 1s the mak- ing of friends which is one object of the pres- ence of the distinguished rishmon in this country. t HIS LOVEMAKING A TEST, Is Curtis, Alias Sykes, the Alleged Bi- cycle Thief, a Lunatic. In the case of Leno B. Curtis, alias Nathan- iel Sykes, on the assignment for triat in the Criminal Court today, Gen. Carrington asked a | postponement. Curtis is under two indict- | ments,each for the larceny of bicycles; one from M. Softey September 15 and the other from John T. Parsons September 26 last. It will be re- membered that at the last-mentioned date he rode the machine to Baltimore, making the run in a little over threa hours, Gen. Carring- ton said that Dr, Stock of St. Elizabeth had commenced an investigation as to the condi- tion of the man’s mind and besides there was | an important witness as to his sanity. Mr. Clagett suggested that if what they ex- {pected to prove was stated he would per- haps admit it. Gen, Carrington said that the witness was a | lady residing in Norfolk, on whom the prisoner |ealied and made love under such circum- | stances as to satisfy her that he was crazy. ‘The case was passed for a short time, when | Gen. Carrington said that he had been in- | formed that the lady was not here, for after the arrest of the prisoner she was o affected that | she bas been placed in the insane asylum in | Williamsburg, Va. 'rhe case as ‘o Mr. Parsons’ bicyclo was then placed on trial. It was testified that Mr. Parsons lost the ma- chine and it was ridden to Baltimore, where | defendant offered it tor sale to A. L. Kline, who suspected it was stolen and Sergt. Berger and Officer Hardesty arrested the defendant and turned him over to Detective Carter, who brought him to the city, Dr. Morris J. Stack of St, Elizabeth Hospital was called for the defense to testify as to the mental condition of the prisoner. He stated that he had visited the prisoner in the jail and found no active symptoms of a diseased mind and ho got the | neem) that his nervousness was the result ! of drin! In consequence of one of the jurors becom- ing sick the court adjourned. Had No Money in Bank. Ayoung man named Clifford E.

One more brave soldier was added to the ranks of the nation’s dead today, when the body of Gen. David Bell McKibbin was laid away to rest stArlington. He fonght a good fight in life and at his death his comrades in arms gathered to perform the last sad rites, One o'clock this afternoon was the hour set for the burial services at St. John’s Church, but long before that hour the friends of the dead man, the membors of the Grand Army and the Loyal Legion began to collect, and when Rev. Dr. Payne began to read the impressive burial service of the Episcopal church the edifice was well filled with people prominent in social and military lire, - 4 WEALTE OF FLORAL OFFERINGS, The casket that contained the remains of the dead man was placed at the foot of the chancel, It was almost buried in a wealth of floral offer- Ings, several of the er pieces bein the Loyal Legion and’ the Grand.

There was no music, and at the conclusion of the brief services the casket was borne out through the south door of the church by the active pall-bearers, while the honorary l- bearers stood uncovered by the door. Then followed Col, Joseph C. McKibbin with Mrs, Gen. McKibbin leaning heavily upon his arm, Capt. Chambers McKibbin, the youngest brother of the dead man, and the other mem- rs of the family.

OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL—a Test CASE FROM A CINCINNATI PAPER—GUESSING THE RESULT OF POLITICAL CONTESTS Not DE- PENDEXT ON CHANCE. An important decision has just been rendered by Attorney General Miller as to whether ad- vertisements in newspapers of the “guessing contest” in ite various phases are in violation of what is known as the anti-lottery law. The opinion was rendered in compliance with are- quest of Postmaster General Wanamaker, who wished to know what was the law governing this matter. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINIOX. In his opinion Attorney General Miller re- fers to inclosures transmitted to him from the Post Office Department, containing, among other papers, the advertisement of the Cincin- nati Ev.quirer setting forth one of these pro- Jects in detail, and as it nts the material question quite distinctly the Attorney General made use of it for the purposes of the answer. This scheme is described as follows: ‘The newspaper offers to give to the sender of the first “guess” giving the correct or neareat correct number of votes of the democrats and republicans, respectively, for the office of sec- retary of state of Ohio at the next election $100 each, and to the sender of the second correct or nearest correct guess (if no correct —— are received) of the vote of either can- date, $50 each, and to the sender of the third guess, $25, and 85 each to the senders of the next fifteen correct or nearest guesses, thus offering to give the amount of €500 to thirty-six persona, Blank forms are printed in the issues of the paper whereon to record the guesses, and a day 1s fixed when tho contest is toend. There is no limit to the guessing, and each person can guess as frequently as is de- sired, NOT DEPENDENT UPON LOT OR CHANCE. The Attorney General says that if this offer were not made in good faith it would be a scheme devised for obtaining money under false pretenses. Being made in good faith the effts are doubtless intended to increase the cir- culation of the newspaper. He quotes the statute and concludes that it is clear that it is directed against only euch enterprises as are dependent upon lot or @hance. It will hardly be contended, he thinks, that this enterprise was dependent on lot. | Was it then dependent on chance, he aske, “within the meaning of the statute? It seems to me that this question must be answered in the negative. * * * * A-studentof statistics might know approximately the num- ber of republican voters and the number of democratic voters in the state of Ohio, he might approximate the ratio in which one and the other might increase or decrease in a given year. It és quite likely that his estimates would often be wide of rk, but it would not be by reason of chance, but by reason of causes in regard to which he had formed erroneous estimates, © * * J am quite clear that estimates made upon the probable political action of the people ina given state in a pending election cannot be said to be dependent upon chance within the meaning of the statute, and that therefore this enterprise was no infraction of the betyng law in question, INTENTION OF THE LAW. “In conclusion,” the opinion reads, “it may not be improper to say that this law was framed with a view to the suppression of certain well- known and widespress) ‘agencies for evil, and it is certainly not wise to embarrass its execution by a strained or unnaturai construction in reaching after practices not thought of asa motive for its enactment. LIQUOR LICENSES. Commissioner Douglass Examines a Number Today—New Point as to Hotels. The liquor license war has opened. It lacked just a fow minutes of 9 o'clock this morning when Commissioner Douglass called for the file boxes containing the liq- ucr applications in Lieutenant Amiss’ precinet. They numbered 100 retail and 36 wholesale, with 13 retail yot to come in. Mr. Douglass took the cases up in the order of filing ‘and passed upon each one before he stopped. action is placed on the filo wrapper, but only the initiated con decipher its meaning, for he uses hieroglyphics, except ina case of rejec- tion, when he writes the word “reject.” Inside of the file wrapper are the papers in the case, and where he rejects on the report of the lieu- tenant a blue mark is made opposite the ob- jectiun, so that his colleagues can see at a glance the reason for his action. A num- ber of applications received a black eye this morning ip the shape of Mr. Douglass’ rejection, but then his action is not final,as the other two Commissioners can overrule him. FURTHER CONSULTATION IN SOME CASER, A large number of the applications acted upon this morning received a large interrogation mark in biue pencil. This means Mr. Koss is to be consulted before Mr. Douglass passes upon the case. ‘Phis class of cases, for the most part, embraced the applications in the new ‘post office square. Lieut. Amis reports against the licenses ‘in this square on account of the new post office building shortly to be erected. Mr. Douglass has not yet decided what rule he will follow regurding the limitation of licenses issued. If he adheres to his four-in-a-block rule he will not insist upon the 400 rule. The chances are that he will approve 400 licenses and then stop. A NEW POINT HAS BEEN RAISED regarding hotels, In the majority of instances the hotels of the city are situated on corners. Inall other cases where a bar room is situated onacorner the applicant is obliged to get the signatures of the residents and property own- ers on both of the streets on which his place fronts. Hotels, however, although oc- cupying corners and having entrances on both streets, were heretofore required to obtain the signatures only upon the street on which their main entrance was located. T! year Lieut, Amiss thinks they should be r quired to obtain the signatures of both abut- ting streets. ALL HOTEL CASES HELD UP, Commissioner Douglass is undecided what to do and has held up all hotel cases for board discussion. As stated heretofore in Tux Stax no new licenses will be issued. Each applic tion bears on its fil = the words “old” or “new,” as the case may be, and the latter are invariably thrown aside. The money will be returned in these cases. Lieut, Amiss’ precinct was com- pleted today asfar as Mr. Douglass is con- cerned. Commissioner Ross will take up the apers when he returns tomorrow and then ie Stan will publish a list of those allowed and disallowed. ———— COLORED LAWYERS DISAGREE, A Five Dollar Fee Causes Trouble Be- tween Attorneys Peyton and Moss. Yesterday a case was heard in the Police Court and Lawyers Moss and Peyton, both colored, had some words about the fee in the case and to- day Lawyer Peyton filed with Judge Milier the following affidavit: ‘That on the 10th day of November, in the year 1890, he, the said Foun- tain Peyton, was employed by Churchill Key- nolds and Julia a to eect cd ——— ainst the charge of vagranc e District of Columbia, that in cass, the onid Julia a —— oe es = Churebill Reynolds was to pay him (Pey! the sum of $5; that he (Peyton) factended Julie Bellis on the of the above-named charge, endeavors to ¥ F 1 é f i i EEF i let IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENTS, The Commissioners Gathering Informa- tion About Systems in Other Cities, The District Commissioners have already Given some consideration to the matter of im creasing the funds available for street im- Provements by means of asystem of epecial assessments, The subject was broached at the meeting of the board of trade last night by Mr. Geo. Truesdell, who urged a system by which a portion of the tost of street improve- ments should be assessed against abutting Property. Mr. Douglas, president of the board of Com- Missioner® bas written recently to the authori- ties of various ciities for the purpose of inform- ing himself upon the aystems in force. It is Probable that the matter wili be discussed in the forthcoming annual report of the Commis sioners, Mr. Douglass, speaking to a Stan reporter today. maid that the city was growing #0 fast and there was so much need of street improve- ments that the question of increasing the Fevenue Was a serious one. He thought an important thing was to secure the permanent bord of assessor whore labors he believed the receipts of the District would probably be increased by half « million dollars a year without hurting any one. There would be, he knew, some outery against any proposal to assess a portion of the cost of improvements against abutting Pro erty. Residents of improved distnets would complain that the sy was not adopted mn- til the older and we proved sections bad got their improvements out of the gene nd. Sull, he thought it necessary to consider some plan for increasing the fund available for street Paving. The usual proportion, he said, was to charge one-third of the cost against property, This wouid increase the available funds 33 per cent, ‘This, Mr, ginws said, woul hot amount to a great deal to the roperty owners On a lot 20 feet ront for astreet pavement, the cost would be only about le thought that in case auch doptea it would be well to have . Ts on streets who petitioned for improvements to pat up their money first before the District and the United States contributed their two-thirds. In this way litigation and trouble over collec= tions would be avoided. These, however, were details which Congress could consider if it were decmed advisable to adopt such a system, Mr. Douglass, speaking of the demands upon the District revenues, said there would prob- ably be a worse cramp next year, when the Dis- trict would have to pay ite first installment om ite share of the cost of Rock Creek park, aa A Washingtonian Honored, The many friends here of Mr. Jobn P.
