Cmicaco, Dec. 3.—A special dispatch from Marshall, Mo., says: Isaac Hamilton, aged fifty-seven, a prominent farmer of this vicinity, died Monday of typhoid fever. His wife and danghter, it is alleged, believe in the doctrine of “Christian Science,” and for three weeks be- fore his Jeath the patient had no medicine or medical treatment. About a week after he was taken sick physicians were summoned, bnt after they had made a few calls Mrs. Hamilton instructed them not to come any more, ber husband finally consenting to try the efficacy of “Chrietian Science.” The coroner returned a verdict to the effect that the de- ceased came to his death by the criminal neglect of those who had him in cbarge after treatment had been abandone ; Cuicaco, Dee. 3.—The federal grand jury yesterday resumed its investigution of the alleged violation of interstate commerce law by western railroads and shippers. Any num- ber of shippers were examined, and among the more prominent railway’ officials put on the stand was ‘Trafic Manager W. M. Sage of the Rock Island. The opinion is gain- ing ound that several indictments will be found against shippers and railway officials and, in consequence, an uncasy feeling exists in railway and shipping circles. Much will de- howexer, upon, the decisfon, of Judge ham in the Counselman case, which it expected will be rendered today. unvacx, Iowa, Dec. 3.—In the United States court, now’ in session bere, a complaint is brought against the Chicago, St. Paul and.Kan- sas road for a violation of interstate commerce law.

It Is Generally Conceeded That Parnell Has Not Lost Ground, Loxpox, Dec. 3.—The Post, commenting on the Parnell meeting yesterday says: “The divi- sion on Mr. Nolan’s amendiment shows that the mixed character of the telegrams from Ireland a:.d America is responsible for the protracted debates. Mr. Parnell’s considerable winority him still the only certain and recognized leader of any ascertained following. The pow- ers of theanti-Parnellite Irishmen have come toa somewhat abrupt ending. Mr. Parnell to Cork with every hope of success, ig the purse string, may gradually eliminate his opponents.” The Nevs says: “Mr. Parnell continnos the fight with a vigor anda tenacity which com- mand the admiration of even his bitterest op- ponents. The result of the division is signifi. cant, but not satisfactory. Mr. Parnell is deaf to the protests agaiust his unfair conduct in the chair. He may propose every town in Ire- land as a substitute for rejected Dublin, in or- der to gain time. If the majority really mean business and are prepared to co-operate with the liberals they-ought to insist upon a de- cisive vote withogt delay. ‘The Times says: “Mr. Parnell is likelier to gain reeruite than to love adherents. Many of ie partyare probably sorry now that they revolted against a master so imperious, im- placable and full of resource. He may ‘stave off a division for a long time, and will com- mand a compact minority and remain presi- dent of the league. We are by no means in- clined to undetrate his strength or its ecrious consequenees- He will regain hia old popularity with the extremists in Ireland and America, who have always supplied him with fands and will rejoice ver his separation from Gladstone. | Mr. arnell knows how to play on these responsible strings. ‘The Standard says: “The final vote, even when reached, will only be the beginning of the real confict. It is estimated that thirty- three of the Irish members ure with Parnell | and fifty-five against him, but against this de- fection of ia colleagues he may fet the su mia of the league in Dublin. He holds rumps in the election game. It is not a ques- tion of a righteous cause, but of a winning one.” The Daily Telegraph says the indications at present arc in favor of Parncll’s leading a strong | >, rty in parliament, although he will probabl bot havea majority of the Irish party at hie 1 ‘The Chronicle thinks that as Mr. Healy hes discovered his error in leaving all the talk to | the supporters of Mr. Parnell the reaction in favor o} that Parnell, at the hend of 'a compact minority, will be a more powerfal force in liament than McCarthy aided by three jealous lieutenants. ‘The Chronicle commends to the notice of the speaker of the house of commons, Parnell may be checked, but it says | 20, Mr. Parnell’s drastic treatment of his leading ‘opponents. es STRICT SECRECY REQUIRED. Delegates to the Farmerw’ Alliance Conven- tion Cannot Revort Proceedings. Ocara, Fua., Dec. 3.—At last evening's ses sion of the national farmers’ alliance the report of the committee on credentials was received. A resolution was adopted enforcing all the members to the sirictest secrecy regarding the business transacted. A press committee was appointed which alone is axthorized to give out information. {Other committees appointed were on Presi- | 1 dent Polk’s message, on order of business, on mileage and per diem on fraternal relations. The last-named committee is a very important one.as its duty is to receive representatives from other national organizations similar in character with a view of securing concerted action on legislation, 4&c., and aiming at the ultimate consolidatign of them cll. As Mr. Powderly is expected here early this morning this com- mittee will doubtless have an early conference with him. The night session adjourned at 10:45 p. m. THE YONKERS MYSTERY. P. H.

Today the committee finished with Capt. Rossell in regard to streets and Capt. Lusk was put on the stand to tell what he knew about sewers, lights, £c. ‘The work of the committee so far as ‘Dis- trict offi fare concerned is drawing to a close. Superintendent Powell will be the committee tomorrow in regard tq the school estimates, and it is possible that by Fri- day the committee will be in condition to give ‘® public hearing on the bill. Mr. Clementa, ‘one of the extra active members of the com- mittee, said today that the work of the eommit- tee would be pushed rapidly forward and bill reported as soon as le. THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD BILL. ‘The bill passed by the Senate in reference to the Pennsylvania railroad has already beer re- ferred to the House committee on the District. The bill therefore cannot . be ‘brought before the House without a report from the committee. Ht is improbable that this will be done asthe Honse bill comes up atthe first District day, which is near at hay A Horse in a Sewer. A peculiar accident was reported to the en- gineer department late yesterday afternoon. It appears that a horse going down G street bo- tween 6th and 7th streets northwest, stepped upon @ loose sewer cover with its hind legs and fell down the whole distance between the surface of the street and the sewer roper. A largo sewer runs along this street; In “fact, Iarge enough for a horse to walk about in, so that from the time of his ac- cident, which happened at about 1:30 o'clock esterday afternoon, to 12:30 last night, when e was taken out, he promenaded up and down the sewer. ‘The sewer department came to his rescue, and, after removing a large portion of the pavement, placed a derrick in position and hoisted the horse out, none the worse for his accident. See Held on a Charge of Perjury. Acolored hostler named Benjamin Warfield was before Jadge Miller today charged with perjury, and the charge was proven to the sat- isfaction of Judge Miller. Warfield appeared asa witness in the case of Daniel Mahoney, who was charged with selling liquor in viola- tion of law. Mahoney was convicted in the Police Court, but when the case went up on appeal he was acquitted. Tt was shown that Warfield owed Mahoney a bill and that instead of getting liquor, as he said he had done, he war refused. Judge Miller held him in $500 bail for the grand jury. He was committed in default of bail. Fe ee Had a Permit From the Commiasioners. A one-legged colored man named Daniel Carter was before the Police Court today charged with buying and selling produce with- out a license, He was charged with doing business along the wholesale line on B strect, opposite the Center market. The defendant produced a permit from the Commissioners dated 1888 giving “Daniel Carter, a lame colored man, permission to sell in the taarkets.” ‘The permit has never been revoki ‘The judge said that if the Commissioners were satis ed to let Carter earn his own rng in this way, he certainly had no objection an dismissed the ca: ene Young, but He Handled a Knife. A fifteen year old colored boy answering to the name of Charles Monford stood before Judge Miller this morning, accused of having eut and painfully wounded Moses Patch. The latter has a store on 7th. street. Charles went into the store last night and because Mr. Patch wouldn't. sell him a pistol, he drew a knife and cut Patch ucross the face.’ Judge Miller asked the prisoner why he eut the mon and Monford replied: “I didn’t cut him.” “How didhe get his face hurt?” inquired the court. “L hit wid my fisa.” “How did the cut get there?” “Thad a ring on my finger.” ee oe ioed oft: “It broke and droy ad “Pour mouths.” =e FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ‘New York Stock Market.

Any holder of bullion is authorized to have it coined or to receive certificates of de- posit for it, as provided in the act of 1878, and the certificates are to be full iegal tenders. Senator Teller’s bill on the same subject dif- fera from the above in that it fixes the weight fore | of the silver dollar at 400 grains of standard silver and contains no provision in addition to existing law for the coinage of bullion received at the mints.

It gives correct maps of the states, showing the boundaries of con- grosvional districts and counties. The let- ter-press includes the population of states by ‘counties and the act of ional apportionment based upon the census of 1880. In an introductory note is the following: “It was thought by the committee on printing that supplement to the directory giving a com- plete set of inaps of the co: ional districts, With tables showing the population by coun ties, would greatly facilitate the work of ortionment.” The compiler of the work is ir.

M'KIBBEN’S WIDOW. ‘Mr. Cameron today introduced a bill in the Senate providing for a pension of $100 per month for Mr: Marian ‘MeKibben, the widow of Gon. McKibben. THE WORLD'S FAIR COMMITTEE. Congressman Flower'of New York yesterday said that the world’s fair congressional commit- tee would meet soon after Mr. Candler, thechair- man, returned to the city and decide what, if anything, was necessary to be done asa result of the committee's visit to Chicago. The com- mittee would be governed, he said, largely by the course pursued by the national commis- sion. The commission had already adopted some of the suggestions of the committee and might, perhaps, by adopting others obviate the necessity for any congressional action. Mr. Flower said’ he thought. the committee were unanimous in the opinion that the national commission should give the Chicago local com- mitte more liberty. ‘The commission's duties should be merely supervisory. ‘The Chicago people should control the ‘management of affairs and be made responsible for the results. He was opposed to any divided responsibility. PROVISO TO THT EIGHT-HOUR CLAIMS BILL. Senator Dawes has reintroduced his bill of the Fiftioth Congress providing for the adjust- ment and payment of the accounts of laborers and mechanics: arising under the eight-hour law, with a new proviso allowing any claimant whose claim has been rejected by the account- ing officers to appeal it to the Court of Claims.

TO SAVE TH A Plan Proposed for Preserving the Pleasure Grounds, An effort is being made by German-American citizens to preserve the Schuctzen Park, on street, asa public resort. The park has been in existence about twentysfive years, and during that time has been the scene of the annual Schuetzenfest, besides many other gatherings of a joyful character. The bonds by which been decided to sell out. The park would have been sold some weeksago, but the proceedings were postponed in deference tothe desires of citizens who believed it might be possibile to make an adjustment of the affairs of the Verein onastock company plan. The bondholders having agreed to waive their right to claim 6 per cent interest and take 3 per cent instead it was calculated that these aggregate claims against the property were $100,000. The plan proposed was to isnue 10,000 shares of stock at 10 a share and with the $100,000 thus raised clear off ail the indebtedness. The thirty days’ postponement to permit an effort to be made to carry this scheme into effect expired.

The District Commissioners last evening sent to Mr. Porter, superintendent of the census, a letter respecting a statement to a Stan re- porter attributed to him that he had sent to the Commissioners five different times for in: formation needed in one of the censns bulletins and that no rerponse had been received. ‘The Commissioners say that upon their represent- ing that their force was too limited to under- take the work required they were informed by the census bureatt that a special agent would be detailed from that office to collect the infor- mation. ‘The letter concludes by saying: “If there has been a misunderstanding and you will kindly advise the Commissioners what ix expected of them in the premises, they will endeavor to effect prompt compliance with such require ments.” ck i ‘The Doctor's Testimony Settled It. “We intend to do up all the niggers in the firkt ward.” That was the language attributed to Policemen O'Brien and Troctor of the third precinct bya colored witness in the Police Court today.
