Everybody Had a Good Time—Whe Won the Prizes. ‘The carnival which took place last Saturday afternoon on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue, while it could not be called a glowing success, filled the bill pretty well and gave a large number of lucky people a chance to get a good sleigh ride before a large audience. Every one who counted a horse among his earthly possessions borrowed a sleigh and joined the procession. There were all varieties of sleighs ‘out from the handsome drosky of Mr. Steele to the country home-made sleigh of a backwoods- man. Everybody hada good time. As stated in Tae Stax of Saturday relating to fast driving and between 4:30 and 5:30 o'clock there was plenty of racing. The judges, Messrs. J. E. Jones. J. Hadley Doyle and A. Walmsley, were stationed in a window of the Elks’ hall at the corner of 9th and Penn- sylvania avenue, and, after watching the gay procession for nearly two hours, awarded the izes a6 follows: First 25 for fastest jorse to Wash Nailor wit ie Palmer, his famous trot for best equipme with u I lus handsome sorrels, Josh and Harry: third prize, $10. for most comical turnout, to Messrs. Golisborough, Zeh & Co. Aaron R. Shepherd claims to have dfiven the fastest horse on the avenue at the carnival Saturday and asscrts that he beat Minnie Palmer zepeatedly with his horse Muck. Should there be more snow it is expected that another carnival will be arranged. —_> Suicide of a Former Washingtonian. ‘Thos.

A $400 diamond earring belonging to Mrs. Roop, wife of one of the proprietors of the Globe ‘Theater, was used as evidence in the Police Court today. The defendant in the case was Charles Williams, a sixteen-year-old boy, who was ar- rested by Policeman Kendall while ‘he was try- to of je claimed itt he found it om the theater stops sud hed Ro idea of ite value. Judge Diller discharged age for Crap Shooting. Jim Washington is a colored “crap shooter,” who lives in the southeastern section of the city, and today he appeared in the Police Court for the third time for engaging ina game of “711.” This time he was arrested for “throw- ing bones” near 2d and I streets. Jim denied that he was in the game and said that when the officer came along he was fifty feet from the “crap shooters.” Policeman Kraemer contradicted this state- ment and Judge Miller tined Jim 25 or 15 days. ab aassaniin Herr Most Has « Small Audience. Herr Johann Most, the high priest of anarchy or “communistic anarchism,” as he prefers to call nis doctrine, delivered one of his characteristic lectures in this city Saturday evening. ‘The open dancing pavilion at Loch- bochler’s beer garden was the scene of his oratorical effort, and the chill of the air effectually killed any enthusiasm that the thirty-three individuals composing his audi- ence might otherwise have felt. It was a ve muld-mannered meeting, and the agitator's cress, which was entirely in German, was by no means as incendiary as is customary’ with ‘that exponent of anare! At the close of Herr ‘Most's address a collection was taken up. i Fined for Selling Liquor. Benjamin Williams, a coloree man, who keeps ® combination grocery store and wood and coal establishment near 16th and East Capitol streets, was called upon in the Police Court this morning to explain a charge of having sold two haif pints of gin to William Harris.

A Plan of Settlement Agreed Upon by the New York and London Committees. It is announced that the New York and Lon- don committees on the Virginia state debt have definitely agreed upon a plan which it is pected the Virginia legistature will readily ap- prove. It is stated by the Baltimore Sun that early in the present month the bondholders’ com- mittee met in New York city and had a confer- ence with Mr. Howard Porter, representing the London firm of Brown, Shipley & Co., the de- positary of the European bondholders. “For several days they gave to the subject the care- ful consideration it required and evolved what, in their judgment, was the best possible plan of settlement to be laid before the advisory board. Mr. Hugh R. Garden of the bondholders’ com- mittee was invited by the advisory board to present to them a full explanation of the situa- Sion of the debt and how the proposed plan would effect its vettlement. The full board was resent at his explanation, which was most ex- austive and minute. Two days were spent in this investigation, conference and discussion. | On its conclusion the advisory board gave a | | unanimous and cordial approval to the plans | submitted by the bondholders’ committee, | | which have also been approved of by the most | | influential of the bondholders here and in Eu- rope.

A Large Number of the Hostiles Leave the Bad ‘Lands. At headquarters of the department of the | Platte last night a dispatch was received from | Gen. Brooke, which stated that Maj. White- rides, in command of a battalion of the ninth cavalry, had captured Big Foot and his entire band near the head of Porcupine creck. About 150 bucks surrendered. Gen. Brooke also telegraphed that the hos- tiles in the Bad Lands had surrendered and would reach Pine Ridge on Tuesday. Bright Eyes sent word Saturday night that half the hostiles had left the Bad Lands and were withia a few hours’ march of the agency. Col. Ofell’s scouts confirm this intelligence by reporting the eamps in the Bad Lands de- | serted, though one dispatch says one of the | camps was moved two miles southeast to avoid | scouting 8 or to secure bettez protection | from the heavy wind of Friday.

The lat- | ter is a strapping fellow, who stands nearly six | feet in height and weighs about 150 pounds. “Swipes” is a bantam of about 120 pounds, and | contrast was something remarlble. Swipes started in in the first round as though he had a“cineh,” but before the round was over he stopped one of Brennan's swinging right- handers with his face, which nearly finished him there and ther. Swipes changed his tac- ties in the fourth round and began to ply for the other's heart and wind. His stomach blows soon told and Brennan was weary at the end of the round. In the fifth and last round Swipes | went at his man in the same style and soon had him so weak thaths was able to change hi int of attack to the head and face. He ha nan falling all over the ropes and would have ha’ him knocked out before the close of the round had not Brennan's seconds thrown up the sponge. —__—_+ee—___ Wreck of the Mary Ellen. Ten days ago Capt. Henry Wheatley, with a crew consisting of his son and three sailors, left Salisbury, a point ten miles below Laurel, Del., in charge of the fast sailing schooner | ‘Mary Ellen, laden with lumber, for Baltimore. ‘The schooner was on Saturday found off the coast floating bottom upward and the hata and coats belonging to the captain and crew were | found near by. All doubt as to their death by drowning is removed. Capt. White, the owner of the schooner, thinks that she was run down by some steamer. Death of Selah Chamberlain. Sciah Chamberlain, the well-known railroad mar, died about midnight Saturday in Cleve- land, Ohio, aged seventy-eight. Mr. Chamber- lain was one of the wealthiest and influential men of Cleveland. He had interests in various parts of the country. He organized the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Com- pany and built most of the lines comprising its system. He also built the Lake Champlain railroad, the Cleveland and Pittaharg. rai and the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling rail- road, being president of the last-named cor pany at the time of his death. He also buil several canals in Ohio, Pennsylvania end Indi- ana. He was largely interested in the Lake Superior iron mines, was a director in several banks and had other financial interests. —— ‘Naval Notes From Norfolk. ‘The court martial on the receiving ship Franklin at Norfolk is in session and will be probably for two weeks longer. The trial of the first prisoner will probably close today, and there are on eight other cases on hand. All the short-term seamen serving on the Atlanta now at Norfolk have been transferred to the Franklin, as the former will sail shortly. ‘The construction department at the Norfolk navy yard are busily engaged overhauling the th and Jamestown. . ———_—_+ee-—— Shooting Affray in » Mississippi Town. Daveston, a small Mississippi town, was the scene of a iatal shooting affray Saturday after- noon. in which sixmen were shot, one being killed instantly and two others fatally wounded. The trouble originated from a fight at a party on Christmas evening between four men, F. T. Favre, one Parker, Neal Strahan and John Hickman, when Favre fired on the crowd, kill- ing Parker and dangerously wounding the other two. Favre was arrested and placed i seeping by J. P.

It will be remembered that two years or 60 ago Mr. Harry Garfield, the President's eldest son, was married to Miss Belle H. Mason of Cleveland. Miss Mason was the daughter of James Mason. Mr. Mason was a cousin of Mrs. Garfield, and during the time between Ger. Garfield's election and inanguration Mol- lie Garfield, now Mrs. J.

Fortwo months past it has when the two men entered the ring the | PO her home at Mr. Mason's. There Miss Newell, who was a friend of the Masons, also visited, and Harry and James were naturally visitors. “The friendships then engendered (for at that time Mollie Garfield and Mr. Brown were only acquaintances) have already resulted iy two interesting weddings and are .now to culminate in a third. : When Mrs. Garfield returned té Cleveland after her husband's sad taking off her friends, the Masons, made their home with her, and Miss Neweil was again a frequent and weleome guest. When Harry Garfield and Miss Mason and Mollie Garfield’ and Mr. Brown were mar- ried at Mentor Miss Newell wasone of the bridesmaids and James acted 28 master of cere- monies. It was noticed then that the youn; couple were particularly attracted to eacl other, and when, a few months later, James announced that he had proposed and was ac- cepted by his young enslaver his friends were delighted at his happy choice. Miss Helen Newell is the second daughter of the president of the Lake Shore and is a young lady of peculiarly handsome and attractive ap- nce. With light brown hair, gray eyes, alf hid under long. brown lashes, a bright, clear complexion, she would attract'more than usual attention wherever she might appear. She was educated in tk» east, and has spent at least one summer abroad and is in every way fitted for any position which she may be called to occupy. After their honeymoon Mr. and Mra. Garfield will probably return to Mentor or Cleveland to ive. Jatnes Garfield is in many respects more like his father than any of the President s rons. He has the same sturdy frame and good- natnred counienance which mark his father's early pictures, and in both manner and mental make-up he is said to closely resemble his illustrious parent. Both he and his brother take a deep interest in public affairs, and James expecially is said to desire to take his place at the proper time in public life. _—0o____—_ THE SOCIAL QUESTION. An Encyclical on the Subject Being Prepared by the Pope. Advices from Rome state that the pope has finished the draft of his encyclical upon the social question. Hisholiness has been working upon the subject for over a year and at his re- quest the most competent economists and bish- ops of different countries, including America, have furnished memoranda. The pope con- siders the question the greatest of the present time. The encyclical will be the crowning act of the pope's work in this direction. The date of its publication has not yet been fixed. The pope is in the habit of carefully correcting and polishing his writings. He will | also consult with certain cardinals and prelates on the leading passages of his encyclical. THE WHOLE SUBJECT REVIEWED. ‘The encyclical will review and expound the whole question affecting wage workers. The document will comprise three parts. First, his holiness will develop the general principles upon which social economy is founded and the more dominant idea of distributing justice which should regulate the intercourse of men and the spread of wealth. ‘Ihe pope says that distribution and restorative justice ix needed to prevent misery and sweating on one side and exorbitant riches and tyranny on the other. ‘The second part compzises the original cause of the present condition of the social prob- lem. On this point his holiness takes a new thesis first developed in his encyclical on #o- cialism. The third part contains the views of the regarding the remedies beyond religious and moral influence he advocated. His holi- ness expresses himself again in favor of inter- vention by the state within the limits previously set forth. He condemns ¢: ganized and advocates a more equitable and just distribution of riches. ‘The encyclical will probably appear before Easter. ‘the pope works upon it nearly every day. He is convinced that papacy and the church should lead the present social and democratic movement, and will appeul to all conservative forces an to Protestants to aid in securing the safety of society. The pope's msays his holinesa may live for some , as he has a robust constitution and is suffering from no infirmity ee HEROIC CAPT. PATTERSON. His Conduct Saves the Lives of the Crew of the Melissa Trask. The American schooner Melissa Trask 1 of the point of Sandy Hook in of Friday night. Had it not been for the heroic conduct of Capt. John H. Patter- son of the Sandy Hook life-saving station and his hardy crew every man on board of the schooner would have perished. It was one of the most difficult rescues, the life savers say, they have undertaken in years. The cries of the men were heard even above the roaring of the storm by some of Capt. Patterson's patrol- men, and in less than three, minutes two large mortars were dragged over the snow to the beach and placed in position, while a couple of life boats were made ready for launching. But it was too rough to launch a boat. ‘The waves were dashing far upon the beach and the atmosphere was freezing. A life line was shot from one of the mortars, but it caught on the mizzen spring stay. ‘The Trask’s crew did not dare to ascend the mizzenmast, as it threatened to fall any moment. Another shot sent a line through ratlines of the main rig- ging, however, and this was secured. ‘THE CREW FAILED TO COMPRENEND. Here a new difficulty was presented. The schooner’s crew did not understand the work- ing of the life-saving apparatus and instead of hauling in on the line to secure the stronger cable which was to carry out the breeches buoy the men simply made the bight of the line fast. Enormous seas were sweeping over the little schooner and she was rolling fearfully, with her decks and rigging solidly coated with ice, which was constantly growing thicker. The deck load had broken loose and the nearly frozen crew had hard work to keep out of the way of the floating timber. The life savers were at their wits’ ends to make the men inderstand that they must haul in on the lite ne. After shouting themselves hoarse and burn- ing several signals the life savers decided to try to launch one of the surf boats, as it was plain that the schooner’s crew would succumb ere many minutes. Just as this was being done the ‘Trask’s crew, to Capt. Patterson's joy, began to haul in on the line. ALL WERE SAVED. Ina few minutes the cable was in position and the breeches buoy brought ashore the first man. His clothes were frozen stiff on him and the life savers had to almost carry him to the station. The others were in the same condi- tion. | Capt. Hartwood was the last to leave his venee! ‘Tho Melism Trask broached too soon after the men were taken off and she may prove a total wreck.

From fourteen to twenty he was at work from 6 in the morning till 11 at night, selling herrings, butter, brandy, milk and salt by re- | tail, grinding tatoes for the still, sweeping the shop, acs P MASTERING MODERN LANGUAGES. At the end of his bondage in the shop he be- gan to educate himself. He pursued a method of learning modern languages which has been | practiced with great success; relying greatly on the impression produced by the living voice, when the learner reads a passage repeatedly | aloud. Though Schliemann's memory was bad | through long want of practice, he acquired a | sufficient practical knowledge of English in six months and of French in another half year. With this Practice and the improvement of his memory, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and Portu- guese took only six weeks each for k't tospeal and write fluently. He had obtained an im-| roved situation before he learned Russian, and is acquisition proved the foundation of his fortune. In 1846 his employers sent him to St. Peters- account a year later. But the new demand upon his time suspended study for cight years and it was not till 1854 that he found leisure to learn Swedish and Polish. THE STUDY OF GREEK. Greek was reserved till he had secured.a com- petent fortune, lest the fascination of the language should estrange him from his com- mercial industry. At length he set vigorously to work in January, 1856, and, with the help of two Greek friends, he learned modern Greek in six weeks. Three months more sufficed him to learn enough of classical Greck to understand the ancient writers, and especially Homer, “whom,” says he, “Tread again and again with the liveliest enthusiasm.” In two years, devoted to the exclusive study of the old “Greek litera. ture, he read nearly all the ancient writers curiously, and the “Iliad” and “Odyssey” several times through. g Tn 1863 he was possessed of s fortune ample enough to allow him to retire from_ business and devote himself to his long-cherished pur- poses. He then devoted his time to the study of Greek history and geography. ‘THE REMAINS OF TROY FOUND. He finally settled at Athens as one of the band of French and German scholars who have made the capital of Greece anew center of archwological study, and returned to Hissar- lik, in the Trond, in the spring of 1870, with his wife, a Greek lady and helpmect. for the work before him. ‘That work occupied the practica- ble seasons of three years, from the autumn of 1871 to the summer of 1873. It was prosecuted amidst difficulties from Turkish officialism and Greek cunning, fevers, storms and poisonous vapors, added to the frequent danger of being crushed by the undermined masses of earth and rnbbish and from the carclessneys and stu- pidity, the artfulness and jealonay of the work- men and natives. The result was given to the world in 1874 in the work entitled “Troy and Its Remains.” EXCAVATING MYCEN®. In February, 1874, Dr. Schliemann obtained permission from the Greek government to excavate Mycenw, where, three years later, he discovered the five royal tombs which had been pointed ont to Pausanias by local tradition as those of Agam: n_and his companions, who were murdered by 2gisthus. In 1877 he pub- lished the result of these excavations in a work entitled ““Mycenw: A Narrative of Researches and Discoveries at Mycenw and Tiryns.” About this time he paid a Visit to England, where he | wes received with great consideration, and Mr. indstone wrote the preface to the work just mentioned. Dr. Schliemann continued the work of exeavation and exploration up to the time of his death, from time to time giving to the world the result of his lebors in a fresh volume. HIS LATER YEARS. He was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences at Munich in 1882 and in the following year published “Troja,” a supplement and completion of the earlier volume on Troy, while still another work, oT Zz pablishea toward the close of 1885, ne same relation to his “Myceng.” nd the Temple of Venus on the Isiand of Kerigo (the ancient Kytheia). ‘About ten years ago Dr. Schliemann built for himself in Athens an imposing marble palace, which bears on its front above the door the in: scription in letters of gold, “Hall of ium.” Here every other Thursday evening durinz the winter he was accustomed to entertain a hun- dred or more professors, journalists and states- men.

This is the second “panther which has been killed in that neighborhood. It was during the latter of October that the panther first made his appearance.’ A farmer over on the New York ‘state side missed a calf from lacerated. A week later Williams, living mile or more thi where the animal made its first visit, heard a terrible confusion in his stable one night. He seized a gun and ran out just in time to see something which “ looked | like a great cat leap over a stone wall | and before he could take aim it disappeared | and he could hear it crashing through the brush. One of Farmer Williams’ best cows was dying in the inclosure. The next day @ search was made and the tracks of some huge animal were followed up into the mountain, here they were lost. Nearly every night for two weeks the animal was heard from, killing a calf in one place, a shee in another, or mutilating banded — together ex- terminate it, and for a week bands of hunters were out nightly. The hunt was brought toa | successful termination last week by the death of the animal. It was shot while making its way to its lair on the Connecticut side of the line with a full-grown calf. Two dogs which were with the hunters attacked it first, and one was killed outright and the other so crippled | that it had to be shot. The panther was a big fellow and weighed between 250 and 300 pounds. ————__+e2- —____. TRYING LYY”H ON CANCER. Apparent Improvement in a Case at Belle- vue—Another at St. Francis. ‘Two patients in New York, who are under- going the Koch lymph treatment in the hospi: tals, were inoculated with fifteen milligrammes of thé 1 per cent solution recently, says the New York Sun. This is the largest amount | yet used here. In Berlin, however, 100 milligrammes have been used in the cases of patients for many weeks under treatment. One of the New York patients inoculated was at the Mt. Sinai Hos- pital. It was the twelfth inoculation of the Patient. He is a student snffering with lupus. ‘The other patient who received fifteen mili- grammes was a woman in the German Hospital, also suffering with lupus of the face. It was her eleventh inoculation, the treatment having been begun on December 11. the lupus is quite perceptible. Dr. Baruch of the Montefiore Home in 138th street said yesterday that hereafter he should inoculate no more patients in the hospital with the Koch lymph. ‘There are, he said, nine patients under treatment, and the study of the operation of the lymph upon those patients will serve to. test the curative value of the lym At Bellevue Hospital, House Physician Pope said that comparative examinations of the sputa of the patients had begun. It is in these examinations that the progress of the con- sumptive patients toward recovery, if they are to recover, will be traced. It will be several months before definite results will be obtained. ‘The patient with cancer at Bellevue Hospital own strong indications of improvement. ‘The discased part begins to diminish in cir- eumference and the surface shows signs of scaling off. Dr. George Shrady at St. Francis Hospital inoculated a patient who has cancer of the lip, caused by smoking a pipe. It is the same dis- ease that killed Gen. Grant. The patient has | had the cancer a year, and it involves most of the mouth externally. ‘The patient's general health is excellent and Dr. Shrady expects in- teresting results. Another interesting case in St. Francis’ Hos Pitol is that of a woman take yesterday in a cab to the hospital through the storm by Dr. Louis Fischer. ‘The patient has phthisis and Dr. Shrady says the disease has so far ad- vanced that there will be a cavity in one lung before the lympk: can take hold. — ALADDIN’S CAVE NOWHERE. ‘The Wonderfal Hole in the Ground that Will Be 2 Feature of the Chicago Fair. ‘There is a well-developed movement on foot here, says the Denver Republican, to make what will be the most original and unique at- traction at the world’s fair—the great mine—a successfal undertaking from a monetary and advertising point of view. “A company has been formed, to be known as the American Underground Mining Exhibit Company, with 1,000,000 capital.

Vessels of a suspicious character had been frequently sighted off Sanibel Island, but never bad been intercepted in their unlawful traffic.
