EMPORIA IN GLOOM. Senator Plumb’s Remains Laid in the Grave. MICHAEL DAVITT BEATEN BY REDMOND Fatai Cabie Railway Accident at Pittsburg. VERY HEAVY FOG IN LONDON REDMOND WAS ELECTED. Victory for the Parnellites in the Water- ford Contest. Durxrx, Dee. 24.—Contrary to general ex- pectation the election in Waterford city yeater- day to fill the vacancy in the house of commons, caused by the death of Mr. Richard Power, passed off without any serious disturbance of the peace. Doth the MeCarthyites and Parnell ites worked hard all day in the interost of their respective candidates, and though there were many arguments over doubtful voters yet as a whole the election was remarkably quic’ The McCartbyites were confident of victory, even going so far as to «xy how much their ma- jority would be. The official announcement made this morning, however. shows that they were over confident and that the Parnellites have won the seat. This is tae first bye election won by that sec- THE EVENING WHERE ‘QENATOR PLUMB LIVED. Private Services Held This Morning at His Old Home in Emporia, Exronia, Kax., Dec. 24—The train bearing the remains of Senator Plumb and the various committees and delegations accompanying them arrived here from Topeka at 7 o'clock last evening and was met at th. Santa Fe depot by an immense concourse of people. The two Emporia posts of the G. A. R. wero standin in line, as was also company E, Kansas National Guard. Col. J.M. Steele marched a detail from the survivors of Plumb's old regiment, the eleventh Kansas, under command of Lieut. W. Y. Phillips, forward to act as pallbearers for the Grand Army. Into the hands of these men were delivered the remains of their beloved commander and they were immediately conveyed to tho await- ing hearse. The column then f and escorted the remains to the residence of the deceased. where the casket was borne into the south parlor and where a detail consisting of Lieut. Phillips and other members of the eleventh Kansas was placed on guard until today. ‘The old soldiers decided to leave the work of completing plans and details for the funeral in the hands of Col. Steele, who yesterday prepared the program.’ Private ser- vices. wore held at the residence at 10 o'cleck this morning, after which the remains were escorted to the First Congrega- tional Church by Emporia Commandery, No. 8, Knights Templar, under whose charge it lay in state until 2 o’clock, when the public funeral services were held.’ Further services will be condueted by the G. A. R. ‘The city is draped in deepest mourning, business houses and most of the private re dences displaying tokens of grief” Every in- coming train has brought additions to tho crowds. THE CUYRCH SERVICES. A procession had been formed in front of the residence to escort the funeral car to the chureh, where the body was to lie in state. On arrival at the church the casket was placed upon acatafulque raised ona dais, and the lid being removed the features of the dit tinguished Kansan wore exposed to the gaze of tion of the Irish party since the split in the party occurred, and they are. of course, cor- respondingly jubilant. The re‘urns of the elec- tion show that Mr. Jobn E. Redmond (Parnell- ite) received 1,725 votes and Mr. Michael Davitt (MeCarthyite) 9, majority of 496 votes for the Parnellite candidate. At the last election Mr. Power was returned without opposition. This victory was a heavy blow to the McCar- thyites and will serve to give anew lease of life to the Parnellite party. It is now believed to be certain that the followers of the late Mr. Parnell, as represented under the leade of Mr. Redmond, will win 2 number of other seatsfand be able to maintain the a distinct party for some time to - announced yesterday, the Parneliites kad been driven into their last’ entrenchment: into. the last ditch, but they rallied nobly, fou: the most grim determination and have band- somely routed their encniies. ‘The number of registered electors at the last election, when the late Mr. Richard Power (a home ruler) was returned unopposed, was 9,946, and 2,954 votes were cast yesterday for the twe candidates for the favors ct Water- ford’s citizens. It will thus be seen that about 1,000 people abstained for one reason and another from voting. PARNELLITES JUBILANT. The Parnellites are jubilant, of course, and say that their victory arises from the fact that the priests were unable tocoerce the Waterford electors, as they had previously coerced the Cork and other voters who have given major ties against Parnellites within the past few months. So late as yosterday evening the general opition in political circles was that Mr. Davitt had won and before the polls were opened it was predicted on all sides that he would win by about 500 majority. The result shows how badly the political prophets can be mistaken and proves that there. is still. considerable vitality in the party fighting beneath: the ban- ner of the late Charies Stewart Parnell. 5 Naturally the Parneliites that their victory at Waterford is a vindication of the principles they uphold. In any case it is dif ficult to see how the results of the Waterford election can tend to bring harmony to the councils of the Irish parliamentary party. The Parnellites are now in a position to dictate terms, and it is safe to say thut they will not be backward in doing so. DAVITT MUCH SURPRISED. It is probable that the most surprised man in Great Britain and Ireland today is Mr. Michael Davitt, He had no more idea of being de- feated than he had of flying He counted firmly on the full support of the labor vote in addition to the regular vote of the party, but, contrary to these sanguine expectations, the labor vote was either cast against him or else maintained # neutral attitude and remained at home. It will be impossible until the effects of this unexpected victory have been weighed by all parties to predict, or even gucss, at its eventual outcome #0 fur as the prospects Irish legi#lation are concerne?. ‘1ue minds of the leaders of both Irish factions are at present too much excited to admit of anything like rec- onciliation. ‘Mr. Dillon, it will be remembered, announced at Waterford on ‘Thursday last that if Water- ford returned the Parneliite candidate he (Mr. Dillon) would feel bound to teil his countrymen that there was no longer any hope in constitu- tional legislation and that he himself should re- tire to private hfe. People are now asking themselves if Mr. Dillon will keep bis word and rumor has it that should ke do so other prominent Irish members of parhament may follow his exampic. ‘This, it is added, migitt pave the way toward « reconciliation Le” tween the contending ‘actions and gives birth to the hope that the irish parliamentary party will be reunited in the near future. ‘This nope, however, is at present only showing a faint glimmer upon the political Lorizou. Lospox, Dec. 24.—The Times correspondent at Waterford says that at the ciose of the poll- ing yesterday both Mr. Michael Davitt and Mr. Wm. O'Brien spoke hopefully of the pros- pects of a McCarthyite success. , ; ‘they said they feured that the intimidation employed by their opponents bad thrown the seat into the hands of the Parncilites. Mr. Redmond is highly elated by his success. He has been the reeipient of many congratulatory telegrams from his friends, who are over- joyed at what they claim isa vindication of ‘the Parnellite policy. REDMOND CHAIRED AND CHEERED. Mr. Redmond, the successful candidate in the Waterford election, when the result was made known, was boisted upon the shoulders of bis friends and was borne about in triumph amid roars of enthusiasm and cheering. Finally Mr. Redmond was allowed to make » speech, during the course of which he said that he was certain that the result of the election would be reecived with pleasure by the Irish everywhere. : Continuing, Mr. Redmond said that he re- gretted that the “dead chief, whose heart was broken with the ingratitude and treuchery shown toward him, had not lived to see this day.” [Loud cheers and groans for the Me- Carthyites.) Mr. Redmond also said: “Wo must never forget this magnificent blow struck in the cause of Irish independence.” (Renewed ap- plause. | ‘The crowds soon afterward dispersed without any disorder. In fact, the election contest during the past two days has been noticeable for the orderly manner in which it has been conducted. Throughout the afternoon Mr. Redmond has been in receipt of congratulatory dispatches. some of them were from the United States. guia beets FATAL CABLE RAILWAY DISASTER. Two Pittsbergers Crushed by an Obstract- ing Beer Wagon. Prrrapvne, Pa., Doc. 24.—At 8:40 o'clock this morning car No. 115 on the Citizens’ Traction Cable railway collided with a heavy beer wagon at the corner of Penn avenue and 30th street. The car was wrecked and two passengers fatally injured. They are Ben Aged thirty-five years. and Abner Edwards, a boy. ‘The wagon was standing in front of a saloon and the driver was inside attending to business. The horves became frightened and the wagon was swarg around against the car, crashing in the side. Wise and Edwards were struck in the heads and thetr skulls crushed. ‘They were also injured internally. ‘Al the other passengers were badly shaken up, cutand bruised. Six of them had to be taken home, Their injuries are serious, but not dangerous. SULLIVAN CAN'T FIGHT. His Theatrical Contract Will Held Him Until June, 1892. Sax Faaxcrsco, Car. Dec. 24.—Jack Barnett, manager of John L. Sullivan, said yesterday the people,who, as they passed the funeral bier, placed upon it flowers, wreaths aud various floral designs. At 2 o'clock the funera! services were held at the church, at the conclusion of which the pro- cession reformed and proceeded to the ceme- tery, where the mortal remains of the distin- Suished Senator were aid in their last resting lace. P Sineo the death of the lato Senator Plumb there has been a great deal of speculation as to the dimensions of his private estate. Mr Calvin Hood, « business associate of Mr. Plumb and one of the oxecutors of the will, states that the estate at avery conservative estimate is valued at $1,000,000, A Thick and Black Pall Hangs Low Over London. Loxpox, Dge. 24.—This city is still hidden beneath a fo& of phenomenal blackness and thickness. For seventy hours has London, to all intents and purposes, been plunged in dark- ness. Throughout the day the street lamps, to say nothing of the lights within doors, have been lighted and link boysare making small for- tunes by piloting cabs and other vehicles through the street by the aid of torches or lan- terns. Regular trafic and trade are ata standstill and navigation on the river Thamer has been completely stopped. Meny proprietors of Jewelry stores and other such places huve put up their shutters ustit the fog clears away They are doing absolutely no business and fear the Visitation of thieves. The entire police force in the metropolis may be said to have been on duty nigitt and day throughout the seventy hours of black fog. A dispatch is sent arying that there is no sign of the fog litting, and the city remain: cov- ered by the most dense pall of fog withic the recollection of the present generation of Lon- doners. EVEN LONDONERS GRUMBLE. When on Tuesday last a dense fog settled down over London, compelling a suspension of traffic on the river and a great curtailment of the traffic on the streets, there were the usual grumblings, and many were the maledictions Buried against the weather, but Londoners are accustomed to fogs, and it was thought that after a day of inconvenience the vapor would lift and allow of a resumption of trade. ‘These hopes were disappointed, how- ever, for yesterday the fog still held the city in its cold, clammy embrace and showed no sign of breaking away. Gas andelectric lights were kept burning, bat so black and heavy was the fog that they only served to make the darkness visible. ‘The vapor permeated dwellings and stores, and the darkness was as intense inside asout. Of course, business has been very se- riously interfered with and the money loss is severe. ‘This morning instead of there being any im- provement the state of affairs was worse, It was thought it would be impossible for the fog to be any worse than it was yesterday and the day before, but today the weather is 60 thick that it is absolutely dangerous to attempt to go about the streets. It is impossible to se for more than afew inches in any direction. All traffic is greatly hindered, as it is impossi- bie for the drivers of vehicles to see their horses. Here and there through the dense gloom a glimmering light may be seen shedding its feeble rays for @ few inches in the darkness, but the most powerful ure lights are not strong enough to penetrate the fog, and all that can be seen of them is‘a small radiance up in the air. ‘The fog is not only prevalent in London, but it extends over wide sections of, the country. It is without exception the worst visitation of the kind that bas come to England in years. It is hardlf necessary to say that all river traffic is stopped. DANGER ON THE coast. Fears are entertained thatif the thick weather prevails off the coast it will be the cause of many disasters to shipping, particularly to ves- sels bound up and down the channel. With a fog that hs already lasted for nearly three days it would be impossible for shipmasters to determine their positions, and in a comparatively narrow body of water like the English channel, where there are many currents and counter currents to upset all dead reckoning calculations, the po- sition of a vessel would be extremely dangerous. With the atmospheric condition now pre- vailing light houses are of little service and even the steam fug-sirens are of little avail. Owing to natural conditions, which are as yet unexplainable, the sound of ‘these pow- erful noise producers in a fog as such as is now prevailiag] is, if it is heard at all, as apt to mis- guide as to guide a vessel depending upon it | for a knowledge of its whereabouts. BAD FOR SHOPKEEPERS. ‘The fog could not have come at a worse time | for the London shopkeepers. They have been building hopes upon their Christmas trade, but the weather is so bad that few people venture into the streets unless they are absolutely com- pelied to, and the result will be that the shop- ‘cepers will, instead of reaping profits, have to submit to very heavy losses. ‘The saddest feature of the situation is, how- ever, the great loss of life that has been caused by persons losing their way and wandering into the rivers, canals and ponds. Already seven Lodies of unfortunates who have fallen into the river and been drowned have been recovered and the coronersare holding inquests upon them. Four other men and a girl haye been reported to the police as missing, and there is scarcely any doubt that they became lost in the fo inadvertently wanderod into the river ant miserably perished. Of course it is im- possible to make a close search of the waters in the docks present, but it is expected that when the fog ifts many bodies will be found floatiny them. Atan inquest last night on the of @ man found drowned the coroner referred to the increase of the deaths in London daring | the past two or three days, aud that tie in- crease in the mortality was in a great meas- ure if not entirely due to the fog. The cold, damp weather was particularly Severe Uper perseas suffering from lung dis- eaves and a sarge number of deatas ascribed to pneumor's and other direar.e of the lungs had deen recorded. A dispatch bos been received from Leeds this morviag stating tbat three men while walk- ing on the paths aiony the canals lest their way and fell into the water and were drowned. ‘Over the Thames the fog is vo thick that the oldest river man can’t remember when it was equaled. From London to Gravesend it ap- pears to be heavier than at other places and none of the boatmen dare venture out. Several persons have been killed on the rail- ways, and altogether it is believed that London has n ver before been fisited by a fog that has been so productive of death and disaster. As FORBADE THE MARRIAGR, | ‘Minister Egan's Nephew Arrested as the Ceremony Was to Be Performed. Sroxanz Faris, Wasa., Dec, 24—Patrick Egan, nephew of the minister to Chile. was at- rested yesterday when about to be married. He isa cattle king and was about to wed Mra. Matilda Widler, the widow of the late auditor of the Spokane and Kootenai Narigatioh Com- pany. Yesterday was set for the wedding. but a {he clergyman —— if any one bad an objection Ce 1© prospective bride's ton-in-law,and a deputy United States marabal, rose = exclaimed, “I havo warrant for your arrest, Egan,” and tool ypoitied bride- groom to jail. Mrs. Widler fain! ‘The charge preferred is that Egan be Annie Widler, the twelve-year-old daughter of the woman he was about to wed. An immedi- ate hearing was demanded, and upon corrobo- ratiy lence Egan was bound over. ee WAR ON THE LOYAL LEGION. Grand Army Men Propose to Boycott Them in Politics. Carcaco, Dec. 24.—A special dispatch from Milwaukee, Wis., says: There is every prospect that the war inaugurated against members of the ‘Loyal Legion” by Robert Chivas Post, @ AR, of this city, will spread. Posts all over the state are taking sides in the controversy and Chivas Post has been indorsed more than ithas been denounced. The action of Robert Chivas Post was practically to demand that a boycott be declared against tho ex-officers in the rebellion by the ex-privates and non-commissioned officers. ‘The ground was taken that the officers maintained a select or- ganization called the Loyal Legion, to which only ofticers were eligible, while the Grand Army was open toall who had served their country. For the last twenty-five years the officershave been getting the cream of the political offices, say the Chivas Post men, and it is high time the privates had a show. To uchteve this end they call on G. A. R. men to boycott the Loyal Legion men when it comes election time. —_ GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE, Davis, Rochester's Defaulting City Treasurer, ‘Will Spend Christmas a Free Man. Rocuesten, N. ¥., Dec. 24.—Gov, Hill yes- terday evening granted a pardon to Jobn A. Rochester's defaulting city treasurer, who was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment by Judge Adams in March, 1890. ‘The papers were sent to Auburn last night and Davis left for his home here at 10:45 this morning. The pardon was granted at the request of hundreds of citizens ot Rochester, where Mr. Davis be- fore lis betrayal of public confidence was one of the most popular young men in the city. IRISH VOTERS IN A RAGE, Excitement Over the Waterford First Figures W: Dvviis, Dec. 24.—Owing to the great ex- citement that prevailed in the room in which, the votes were counted the first figures an- nounced were inaccurate. An official recount shows that instead of 1,725 votes Mr. Redmond received 1,775, making his majority over Mr. 6 instead of 496, asat first reported. Thearnouncementof the figures wasfollowed by a scene of the wildest enthusiasm. The Parnellites shouted, waved their hats and sticks in every way gave veut to their jubilant ngs. The McCarthyites were correspond- depressed, and their faccs showed their decpdisappointmentat their defeat. After quiet had been somewhat rostored Mr. Red- mond propored the u-ual vote of thanks to the sheriff, to whom is eutrusted the task of making the official return of the election. It ia customary for the defeated candidate to second the vote of thanks, and Mr. Davitt did not fail in this duty. He took occasion to add, however, after seconding Mr. Redmond’s mo- tion, that he would rather lose an election than win by combined terrorism and rowdyism. This remark provoked a most uproarious outburst of protest from the Parnellites, and for # time it looked as though the official can- vass would end iua free fight. Mr. Redmond’s supporters were fairly wild with indignation at what they deemed the msul: upon their leader and upon themselves. ‘They yelied and hooted at Mr. Davitt and some of the more of the hot headed shook their fists in his face and threntened him with all Election— sorts of dire punishment. Amid the and confusion could be heard of “shame” and “coward,” and foratime the position of the defeated candi- date was very precarious. The uproar con tinued for several minutes, and a gen- eral riot was imminent, when the police intervened and by threats and a free use of phywical force sueceeded in restoring something like order. The feclings of the Parnellites were very bitter, and when Mr. Davitt withdrew from the counting room he was escorted to his home by a number of police. a Successor to Chief Mayes. Tarxquan, I.

Despite the guards who are placed over these convicts they seem to be able to escape the vigilance of their keepers and to work their will upon the unoffending inhabitants of the country through which the line will pass. 80 frequent have become the complaints against these men that it scems now as though the gov- ernment would be compelled to abandon’ the uso of the convictsin building the road, gated The North Dakota Alliance, Gnaxp Forks, N.

The first measure of thix Congress approved by the President was a joint resolution author- izing the payment today of the salaries of officers and em of the Senate and House of Representatives. The Presicent signed it yesterday and the salaries were paid today. SENATOR STANFORD'S CHRISTMAS GIFTS. ‘The Senate pages rejoice yesterday afternoon in the possession of Senator Stanford's regular Christmas souvenirs, It has been one of qienator Stanford's | cetablished —cus- toms present each page wi 5 nt Christmas time. Private Secretary Mc- Carthy procured a sufficient number of $5 and yt. Bassett made the dis- ursement. Senator Stanford never has any Gifienlty im findings page to respond to his WHOM SENATOR PROCTOR CONSULTS. Senator Proctor is careful to secure the best available advice before he introduces a bill. Yesterday he introduced » measure to amend which provides for the examinations ‘of certain officers of the army and regulates promotions. The copy is typewritten and at the foot of the Page is one word and three initials, written in Peneil. ‘The word ia “approved and the int- are “J. M.S." People who pretend to know all about army matters say that “J.M.S. are the initials of Gen. John M. Schofield, now commanding the army. DESERTED WALLS. ¢ There were fow signs of life at the Capitol to- day. ,Two or three Senators spent an hour or two in the forenoon in their committee rooms and seven Representatives writing at their desks barely relioved the deserted appearance of the hall of the House. Asa result of Mr. Springer's thoughtfulness the employes of the pitol received the pay for the month of December today, and majority of them were excused from duty before noon in order to afford them opportunity to buy their Christ mas presents. Most of the Senators and Repre- sentatives have loft Washington for their homes d there is no probability that any committee work will be undertaken during the holiday re- cess. Two Avrorstments.—The office of assistant chief of the weather burcau was filled yester- day by the appointment by Secretary Rusk of Mr. S. 8. Rockwood, heretofore chief clerk of the Department of Agriculture.

A Pow-wow at Taz Intenton DerantweNt.— The delegation of northern Montana Blackfeet Indians, with their agent and interpreter, called on Secretary Noble at the Interior De- partment this morning and had quite a long pow-wow. Their chief acted as the spokesman of the party and through the interpreter he made known the wants of his people to the Secretary, who took adeep interest in what was said and asked many questions relating to the affairs of the tribe. The requests of these In- dians will be given proper consideration, and assistance will be given them to attain their expressed desire to become civilized and self- supporting Hoxonmxo Gex. Crrswett’s Mrwony.—The officials and clerks who served in the Post Ofiice Department under ex-Postmaster Gen- eral Creswell held a meeting today in the office of Third Assistant Postmaster General Hazen and passed resolutions expressing their sorrow at the death of Mr. Creswell.

The practice of sending every night a descriptive report of the proceedings of the house of commons to the sovereign began in the days of Lord North, and the duty had al- ways to be undertaken by the leader of the Rouse until 1874, when Disracli, coming into office, confided tho task to the late Lord Bar- rington, and when Smith became tho leader of the house it was undertaken by Lozd Lewis- ham. This has been given up, and the queen now reads the of the debates in the morning papers. . ‘The Ready Orator for Once Non; From the New York Tribune. ANew Yorker who had acquired the reputa- tion of being able to make a fairly good speech impromptu on a public occasion of any kind, from a dinner or a wedding to e funeral or a political meeting, nearly lost it the other day. AT THE CAPITOL. ‘Seven Representatives and One Senator Only Put in an Appearance. ‘There wore seven Representatives and one Senator at the Capitol today. Nearly the whole of Congress have gone oui of the city for Christmas, many members going home to bring their families back with them after the holi- days. Those who are not away are taking @ quiet holiday rest within the seclusion of their quarters. In the hall of the House today, which was al- most bare, there were but two men who seemed to be oblivious of the fact that a vacation had begun. Mr. De Witt Warner and Mr. Pendle- ton alone were bending over their desks writing letters with uninterrupted exertion in the quiet of their surroundings, Mr. Pendle- ton, during his brief career in the Pifty-first Congress, got a reputation as a nervous hard- worker, who devoted all his time of rest from other work to writing letters. Mr. Warner starts out with the promise of a reputation surpassing that of the West Vir- ginian. THE SPEAKER REMAINS HERE. Speaker Crisp intended to leave for Americus last night, but be found himself so worm out by his hard work and the grip that his physician thought it better that he should remain quietly in his room here, denying himself to callers and getting as complete rest as possible. Mrs, Crisp was telegrapbed to come on in time to spend his Christmas here with him and | she is expected at 8:30 tomorrow morning. She has not seen him since his election and their Christmas diuner will be their own quiet little celebration of the jud, uccess, The physician does not give out the impres- sion that the Speaker is seriously iil, but in- sists that he must remain quict and rest. MOUSE EMPLOYES ORT THEIR MONEY. ‘The employes of the House got their Christ- | mas money today, getting their pay up to date. Some of them were men who bave been sworn im since the House was organized and | ! drew today their firet pay. A number are | hold-over republicans, who have been kept in for a while by tie objection of Mr. Brekinridge of Kentucky yesterday to the usual resolution for the appoiutment of committee clerks. This objection was a grateful Christ- mas gift to them, but the democrats who had gzpeoted their appointments yesterday are not as happy over it. To LOOKOUT FOR DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS. It is believed at the Senate end of the Capi- tol that the chairmanship of the appropriations the subcommittee on District will be assumed by Senator Allison. The death of Sen- stor Plumb left Senators Dawes and Cockrell the surviving members of the subcommittee. Senority, however, docs not count in sub-com- mittees, although if Senator Dawes really de- sired ‘the chairmanship be could prob- ably have it. The general impression seems to be that Senator Allison will take hold of the great work himself; the burden is conceded to be one of great weight, but the Senator from lowa is a legis Imports and Exports, The chief of the bureau of statistics in his monthiy statement of the imports and exports of the United States reports that the total values of the imports of nerchandise into the United States during the five,cleven and twelve | months ended November 30, 1591, as compared with similar imports during the corre periods of the preceding year, were as follow 12 mo.ended Nov. 30.. 94: ‘The values of the exports were as fol 1891. 5 mos. ended Nov. 30... $3: 11 mos. endedNov. 30.. 7. GEN. ORPWAY'S SURPRISE. He ie Presented With = Handsome Bos Named the alerh.” ‘Ranta Claus, or the spirit which reprerent that more or less mythieal individual, surprise good many people today and will surpris: several more tomorrow, but none of the luck} ones will be more thoronghly or grati fyingly shocked than was General Al bert Ordway shortly before 1 o'clock For some time past the general has been look ‘Ing for a good Gishing boat—something whick would be an addition to the feet at Wood- mont—and he bas been aided in his quest by Capt E. H. Neumeyer of bis staff. This mora ing the captain notified hie chief that the ideal craft bad been found—was over at Cumber land's boat house. The rain was dropping in a lively fashion, but as Capt Neumeyer insisted that the bar in might be gobbled up the two drove to the t house. The boat was there and so were Col. Oscar F. Long, Maj. Cranch Melntire, Maj. Aldrich, Maj. Peixotto, Capt. W. L. and Staff Sergeants Corvaizier and Roginski. Before the general had an oppor tunity to express his admiration for the boat or his pleasure at unexpectedly meeting so many friends Major Melnt&e briefly informed him that the craft was a token of love from those present and from three others unavoidably absent. Ordinarily Gen. Ordway is ready talker, but this time be was unable to do himself oratorical justice. He tried in four or five different ways to say “thank you" and his failures were more elo- quently gratifying than any words could have been. Then eversbody admired the boat and ite fittings and — tall of the fish whieh would be caught by ite owner and prom- ised to be present whon it was launched at Woodmont, and the conversation was inter- champagne and sand- vedings came to an end Capt.

Metropolis View; A War-Time Christmas, = From the New York World ; Some of the scouts had brought in word that a guerilla leader whom ‘he had long sought to kill orcapture was at a farm house five mies away, having only «man or two with him. The orders were to take fifty men and seck his cap- ture. It was the night before Christmas in one of those last bloody years of war. There was a light snow on the ground and the wind had an edge which cut like a knife. In some of those old Virginia farm houses, with their big fire- laces, Christmas had come and gone for chil- fren and their children ‘The red hand of war had burned some to the ground; in others there was mourning and those who mourned thought not of the day. Aswe rode up the mountain road and saw the farm house lights twinkle here and there I wondered if Santa Claus would be forgotten in all of them. There were children there, and, though war's musketry had kept them fearful and war's blood stains had their faces, they surely would not forget the legend of the Feindeers ‘and the chimney. So I hoped at It was a cold, dreary ride, but we reached the old farm house at last. A scout sent on ahead came back to report that our man was there. It was his home—his roof-tree. Dangerous as he knew it to be, be bad stolen back on this night before Christmas to spend afew hours with wife and children— with the gray-haired father and mother who sat in the chimney corners on this night and smoked their pipes. I saw them through the window as we moved up to surround the house I saw, too, a couple of children seated together on the knee of the man we had come to surprise, and, beside him, with her hand on his shoulder, was the wife. And I saw another sight as I stood for a moment—a sight that struck mo likea blow. There beside the old- fashioned fireplace hung two little stockings, waiting the coming of Santa Claus! Others ‘saw it, too, and they groaned outas if wounded. Well, the man refused to surrender, He did not kuow our stre1 and ps he hoped to beat us off. He killed rob go our men and wounded a third right on the start. Then our men began firing into the house. It was all over in five minutes. We entered to find the man lying desperately wounded. Beyond him lay one of the children gasping its last, and at the right of the fireplace ‘old gray- father, with -his life-blood welling out of a wound in his side. We had captured our man, but there was no “angina [ curses upon our heads. The aged mother knelt then the dying father grouned as his fo ebbed the a8 el away. And yet we neither seemed to seo nor hear. against the mantel hung the home- knit blue stockings which we had filled with woe and wretchedness and sorrow as our gifts. They were the last we saw as we silently drew away from the to hang before us as wo rode back and darkness to our lines. iit it i A i touch with the great mass of the inninniigpiincan Her Equals in Rank, From the Chicago News, Not long ago two young girls were traveling “ont west,” saysa writer in the New York World. As the train stopped at «station two ladies entered and took seats directly in front ofthem. Justas they were seated « stout lady came forward, greeted them effusively and the trio kept up a lively conversation until the train started. Then one of them said: “Sit down here near us," and ine litue lower tone: “Tell those girls to sit some- where else.” So the stout one turned round and suid in the most freezing of tones: “I wish to converse with my friends and would like thatseat. 1 am Mrs. President R—— of this road.” ‘The girls stared at her an instant andthen one.of thom drawied: “Pleased to meet you, 'm sure. I suppose You know Tam Mrs President Harrison of ashington,” and the other girl, settling Ler- self comfortably in her sent, said: “And Lam Mra. Queen Victoria.” There was an audible smile from the other Passengers and the stout indy went to her own seat in the rear. ————— py MAREIED. N SIDY.
