GRANT OBJECTS, She Doesn't Wish Her Hasband’s Remains Kemoved to Washington. New Yonx, Dec. 11.—An afternoon paper prints an interview with Mra. Grant in regard to the proposal to remove the remains of Gen. Grant to Washington. She is quoted as eay- ing: “I buried my husband here because I wanted him near me. I wanted bin where I could go tohim. My children are near me here. Jesse, my son, lives with me. My son Ulysses lives at Salem Center, Westchester county, from where he can come to me reudily.

They are building a splendid monument over the general's tomb at Kiverside. Recently they removed him to that mausoleum where 1 bad hoped he would rest forever “Do you think the public wants him removed to Washington? I am only his wife; one woman. can't ght against them all”) Gen. Collins, who has had consultations with Senators Plumb, Hiscock, Wasburne and others, was surprised to find that there bas grown a strong sentiment in favor of the ides. Whether this sentiment 1s so strong as to counterbalance the wishes of the wife and life companion of the dead hero remuins to be seen. potas art CALLED FLOQUET A LIAR.

Panis, Dec. 11-—During the debate in the chamber of deputies today on the relations be- tween church and state there was tumaultu- ous scene during which Paul de Cassagnac called M. Floquet a liar.

BARNABY'S POISON, Prof. Headden Te the Court Today at Den- ver of Its Analysis. Dexver, Cot., Dec. 11.—When the Graves’ trial was resnmed this morning Prof. Wm. H. Headden was replaced on the stand. He was crose-examined by Judge Macon of counsel for the defense. He had found arsenic in the viscera of Mra, Barnaby aswell asin. the ___solntion of arsenite of potassium examined by Prof. Walter J. Haines. He did not believe that the deposits he discovered could Lave been de- posited through the mouth of a bottie by the air which had been in contact with some arsenetical snbstance. He admitted that books did tell about school children being made deathly sick from inhaling air ina room | papered with arsenical paper. The jar in which the viscera was kept had a porcelain and zine top, but the arsenic found could not have come from the zine. ‘fhe professor admitted that he was very friendly with the prosecution, as they bad brought him lots of eases. He was paid for the analysis he made by order of Mr. 8. E. Worrell, sr., at whose house Mrs. Barnaby died. The solution which killed Mra Barnaby could not be bought at the drug store. The nearest approach to it was Fowler's solution. ‘The compound which the deceased drank could not huve been made from Fowler's solution. He did not believe a chemica, student of two years’ standing conld have compounded the solution of arsenite of potassium. Prof. Headden was kept on the stand all the morning. eon LORD LYTTON’S SUCCESSOR. Lord Dufferin Appointed British Ambaseador to Paris.

Neumann and Miss Katherine Lawson Go to Baltimore and Get Married. Washington society circles have just experi- ‘enced another surprise, rather in the nature of # sensation, too, in the announcement of the marriage of Miss Katherine Lawson, a bana- some young Indy of this city, and a daughter of Col. Lawson of the regular army, to Lieut. Neumann of the marine corps, who has been stationed for some past at the marine barracks. Not only have these young people been , to the surprise of all their friends, but they were married about a month ago in Baltimore and no one was any the wiser until yesterday, when the lieutenant claimed his bride. This was the first that Mra Lawson had heard of her daughter's marriage, and.she was completely prostrated by the news. She was obliged to refuse to see ail callers at lier residence, 222 A street southeast, today. It is understood that Liewt. Neumann had been paying marked attentions to Miss Lawson, but her mother objected to their marriage on the ground that the young lady was too young and that she did not know the young man sufficiently well. Misa Lawson is but eighteen years of age and her husband, who Was a recent graduate from Annapolis, is twenty-four. These are said to have been the only objections raised, as there was noth- the young man at all is fortunate enough to have ® considerable income in addition to his regular pay. The young couple simply took matters into their own hands, and without ac- quainting any one of their purpose, and ac- companied only by a young Indy, a friend of Miss Lawson, they quietly slipped over to Balti- more and were married. Mrs. Neumann returned home and said nothing to her mother of what ehehad done. For about a fortnight pret che has been visiting an aunt in New York, it came back a day or two ago. Last night the lieutenant informed Mrs. Lawson of what ludd occurred. He then took his bride to one of the uptown hotels, where he had secured rooms. Col. Lawson, the young lady’s father, is now stationed at Missoula, Mont., and has probably not yet heard of his daughter's marriage. There may be some trouble at first, but it is hoped and expected by the friends of the young couple that they will soon be forgiven and that all will be lovely. ee RIPE FOR THE HARVEST. What Representative Bryan Says of Demo- _ __ €ratie Prospects in the Norihwest. Mr. Bryan of Nebraska is one of the active young democrats who came into the House on the crest of the tidal wave that swept over the west at the last congressional election. ASran reporter asked bim today if there was any prospects of the democrats making gains in the northwest or holding what gains they had made. “Our country,” he replied, “is ripe for the harvest. It offers great possibilities for mis- sionary work. For years our people have be- lieved in tariff reform and have patiently waited for the republican party to bring about the reformation desired. In 1883 the Nebraska | legislature passed a resolution demanding ‘free lumber’ and disclosing that the tax on lumber cost the people of Nebraska $800,000 per year. “Lhe movement of the republican party to- Ward higher protection has discouraged those who want lower tariff und they will seek relief | elsewhere. In 1888 President Harrison carried our state by some 25,000 majority. In 180 the democrats and independents, both opposing | the McKinley bill, had together more than | £0,000 majority over the republic: these have dropped back, but till re- | mains a large majority in favor of the demo- | cratic ides on that question, What is true of | Nebraska is toa certain extent true of other northwestern states, ‘The democratic party is 180 nearer to our people on the money ques- ti 1 is the republican party. © Mississippi valley is the future home of the democratic party. Young men are going West and it is among the young men that demo- eratie principles are taking root. Mr. Clark- son recently complained that the sons of re- publicans were Wecoming democrats. That is tine. We have already carried Mlinoié, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan gains fair and made large the other tates. Give us show and we will win some ites that will make us independent ivotal states,” as we have called them. There is a great and growing country be- yond the Mississippi that will soon be in the democratic ranks to stay if the party lives up to its present possibilities. os Kate Deene Sent to Jail. Rate F.

It | was occupied by the Bartholomay Brew- | ing Company, the upper floors being | rented to colored socicties, Now it is the | only structure that remains on the west side of the thoroughfare mentioned between Pennssl- | vania avenue and C street.

Weird Freaks of Architecture at Nos. 306! | During the process of gutting the building | * much wonderment has been afforded to. the workmen by the incidental revelation of tor- tuons concealed passages and other arc: tural freaks, suchas are found in m castles of ‘the type so descriptive! ular in novels. What they can have been meant for it is only possible to surmise remotely, although it seems prob- able that they had some connection with the mystery business of the secret societies. By | far the most remarkable of all the wonders of | this sort discovered is ® horribly suggestive | brick hole. It is built like a chimney imto the | edifice itself, reaching trom the bottom of the | cellar to the third floor, This brick hole is four feet square in_ section. One hfts a piece of the floormg m the third story and locks down into, it. Below the floor: ing about two feet isa curious lid with a funny- shaped opening. Removing this lid one sees a bricked-in space four feet square and ten fect high. This is only @ part of the ho. At the bottom is another lid, like} the first, and when that is | litted there is revealed another bricked-in space ter feet in depth. At the bottom of # another lid like the other two, and wien this is removed one can look down yet another ten feet to the very bottom of the cellar. It ix very weird eltogether. The entire hole is rather more than thirty | feet in depth. It forms, as has been said, « portion of the solid structure of the building. | Any one who cares to go to No, 905 llth street northwest and investigate for himself is nt liberty toform his own theory as to the use for | hich this architecturul feature was intended. | Perhaps the most curious thing about it is | that in thecellar it hasan opening four feet high by eighteen inches wide which is bic | enough to xcmit the passage of a man's bods Is it possible that victms subjected io the ordeal of initiation ceremoni: were lowered into this awful well and permitted to find their way out into the cellar and to won. vainly into what sort of place they bac There ma ave been a whole come bones down there to frighten the novice out of his wits. | A good many strange coins of copper, and of silver also, have been found by the workmen’ under the floors and elsewhere, but they usually come across such small treasures in tearing down houses, —— FREE RAILROAD PASSES, Their Legality to Be Judicially Determined in a Suit Soon. | Attorney General Miller has determined to | test the right of railway companies to issue free passes. The question to be decided is whether the issue of such passes isa viola- | tion of the interstate commerce law. | He will shortly bring suit against one of the New England railroads known to bave issued passes, probably the Boston and Maine. suit will be instituted in New Hamp-| chiro snd 8 special attorney will be appomted 0 conduct the case. | The government is eager to obtain a judicial | construction of the act upon this poiut, and | the issue hangs upon the questioa of whether | or not there is a probibition against passes | included in the clause providing that mo rates shall be given __ either | more or lesx than the fixed ¢chedule | of the road. In many cases railroads issue | passes openly and contend that there is no Jegal restriction npon such action, and it will be one of those roads against which the «nit will be brought, so that the question will not be one of fact, but of law, thus simplifying the proceedings. es DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, DESTROYING GAS LAMPS. The Washington Gaslight Company has written a letter to the Commissioners com- plaining of injury to lamps in certain localities by viciously inclined people, and_ requesting the Commissioners to issue orders to the superintendent of police to detail men to attend to the matter. Capt. Lusk, who has the immediate charge of street lighting, in hie indorement upon the letter, says that unless the police interfere to stop this destruction many more lamps must be | abandoned. There seems to be a determined effort on the part of some people to stop the | lighting in the localities mentioned, and the | evil should receive « severe check. ‘The Commissioners will confer with Maj. Moore upon the matter. ———— Transfers of Keal Eatate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: Ros A. Fishet al. to M. T. Green, part 8, sq. 585; $2,447.20. G. W.
