It is said, top, that it was the wrong horse that suffered, that is, there is not the slightest doubt that the cruel treat- ment was intendedfor: the horse of Officer McCabe. There is, no conclusive evidence against the perpretrator of the act, but it is said that of late MtCabe has had diffi- culties with a neighbor, who, on more than one occasion, has exhibited a decided taste for animal torture. Mr. Wendell’s horse had strayed into McCabe's pasture lot on Thursday night, and the torturer had mis- taken him for the rightful occupant. Noten.

MR. WILSON TALKS. He Declares Mr. Cleveland Has No Thought of Running Again. Referring to the recent election in the state of Maine, Mr. Wilson of West Vir- ginia yesterday, not consider the republican victory as a pronounced criticism of the tariff legislation of Congress. According to Mr. Wilson, some of the democrats of Maine are temporarily anger- ed at certain tariff reductions, especially at the reduction of the duty on lumber. But, he added, Maine’s situation prevents that state from being an index of the political currents of the United States. Mr. Wilson decidedly stated that Pres- ident Cleveland had no thoughts of again being a candidate for the presidency. -Messrs. Reed and McKinley were, in his opinion, candidates for the republican nom- fration, but he thought the republican party would probably select a tariff conservative like Allison. The United States, Mr. Wilson also’ said, would never revert to “McKinleyism or to a blind, greedy, selfish protection. The tariff will not be attacked, and when Con- gress meets its errors, which are in detail oply, will be corrected.” —__—- +0 _____ NO GROUNDS FOR PROCEEDINGS.

My pre- ved notion of the Indian squaw was ve is the dradge and slave of her sem{-barbarous mus:er, and that she 0 way honored by the males of ber ‘This Is the case, 1 am told, with race. most tribes of the American red men, but it was never so with the netions of the Iro- quois confederacy. In fact, the women were held in so high regard by the Iroquois that thev were spoken of as a people ruled by women. “This peculiarity is evidenced in their life today, It is true that there isn’t) much work done by any of the Indians, but the men do most of what is done, the squaw only being called on to attend to her house- hold duties. The superiority of the squaw to the buck is shown in the fact that the children, according to the custom of the Iroquois, belong to the family or nation of their mother. If a Seneca Indian marries an Onondaga squaw, and they have chil- dren, the latter arc Onondagas, and should the father be of the family of the Wolf and the mother of the Snipe clan, the children are Snipes. It is as if John Smith married Mary Joaes and child of the marriage was named John Jones. Another indication of the superiority of ihe squaw is shown in the Indian manner of speaking of a man and a woman. In English they habitually refer to ‘her and him’ us doing something, being somewhere or saying some:hing. Pos- sibly they are more grammatical in the use of their own dialect.” coe -— PUMPING WIND INTO THE EARTH. A Scheme to Increase the Flow and Pressare of Nata From the Pittsburg Dispatch. What is known as the Heckert-Kowland plan for generating natural gas in the bow- els of the earth is about to be given a practical demonstration in Findlay, Ohio. The necessary pumps and engines are now being erected on the site of the vld Wether- ald rolling mills in the northeastern part of the city, ‘hts is in the vicinity of several abandoned gus wells, which will be utilized fer conducting the experiments. The theory, which was evolved by William Heckert, well-known mechanical engineer, at present @ member of the Findlay city council, will work @ revolution in the natural gas region if it proves practical. Heckert proposes, by means of powerful pumps, to force air down into the gas-bear- ing rocks, which it will permeate, and thereby become infused with the active properties of the gas itself. It is contended that as now burned for fuel, the natural gas requires an admixture of nine parts of air to one part of gas, and that this mixing can as well be done in the earth as in the stove or in the furnace where it is burned. ‘The great trouble in the gas region ts not so much the decrease In the volume of gas as the decrease in the pressure. This has fallen off in a large portion of the Ohio field, from 400 pounds,.at which it started, to 40 to 80 pounds, and this is found to be insufficient to convey the gas from the wells through the system of pipes to the point of consumption. The friction takes up all the initial pressure. By Heckert’s process this lost pressure will be re-established. His air pumps, con- stantly at work, will force enough air down one hole to create a pressure sufficient to force the remaining gas, mixed with the air, out of several other holes, and give it a strong initial pressure in the pipes. The gas thus formed, or charged with air, will be ready for burning with Ittle additional mixture of air at the point of combustion. it is also claimed by Meckert that air thus pumped down into the rock, and passing over end through the pools of oil which are now almost universal in the Trenton rock in this section, will take up the volatile gas of the ofl and force it up the convenient wells ready for use. Inside of a month or two the preparations 1 of this important theory will ——se0 A Word Picture of Thackeray. I need scarcely say that when he was not in a techy temper, caused by extreme phys- ical anguish, writes G. A. Sala, Thackeray was one of the most delightful conversa- tionists it was possible to imagine. There were very few subjects indeed on which he could not talk, and talk admirably. He was as fluent in the French and in the German ag in the English language. He had, I should say, a fair knowledge of Italian. He was never tired of discoursing about books and bookmen, about pictures and painters, about etchers and engravers and litho- graphers; and, moreover, he was a born wit ! and a brilliant epigrammatist. So we walk. ed and talked, by hustling — in- to crowded Piccadilly; and, halting just op- posite Morel’s, the well-known Italian ware- house, Thackeray observed that he was about to crder some wine. He made me a bow which, In its sweep- ing stateliness, would have done honor to Sir Charles Grandison; concurrently giving me his hand, which was cold enough to have belonged to a professor of swimming who had just emerged from his tank, and then he stalked over the way, leavi: in my mind a perplexed impression that he had suddenly forgotten who I was, or that, knowing me, he had arrived at the conclu- sion that I was a confounded bore, and that the sooner he got rid of me the better it would be. When I came to know him intimately, I fully understcod the reason for these sud- den reactions of apparent hauteur and ““standoffishness.”” it was only his wa: He could not help that which 1 probably was due either to an acute spasm of bodily _ or the sudden passing of a black clo across the mind of one who, although he could be upon occasion full of fun and frolic, was not, I ae say, on the helenae altogether a happy “Things I Have Seen and People t 1 Have Known.” in London, said that he did |.

ANDREW'S BROTHERHOOD Meeting of the Executive Committee Last Night. Preparations for the Great Conven- tion to Be Held Here im October. From the reports made by the various subcommittees to the executive committee at its meeting last evening in the red parlor of the Ebbitt House it appears that mat- ters are being rapidly pushed forward for the greatest convention in the history of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. The de- tails are in shape to be reported to the mass meeting Monday evening, a call for which has been issued to the Disirict, Hyattsville, Rockville, Alexandria, Fairfax Seminary and Baltimore brethren, as fol- low: ‘It was the sense of the local council that our entire membership should assemble on this occasion to concert final plans and make ourselves ready for the annual gather- ing in our midst of our brothers. Will you not, therefore, on that night, putting aside every other duty, see that your place is filled at this meeting? “Your committees have been very busy during the past months in naking the many preparations necessary. They wish to teil you what they have done, and to ask for your concerted effort to crown their work with success. Before our guests come into our midst let us, their hosts, come together and see if all things are ready. Let no brother feel that his presence is not re- quired. Let us see if the hospitality of the nation’s capital lacks, toward the Brother- hood of St. Andrew, in any degree, that zealous welcome which she gives with un- stinted hand to the citizenship ef the na- tion. Let us, if needful, make it a matter of Guty to come. In any event, let us come together, every brotherhood man in our jurisdiction, and ask God's most fruitful biessing upon the joyful work we have undertaken.” ‘The meeting last evening at the Ebbitt House was called to order at 8 o'clock by the chairman, Mr. P. B. Pierce. After a short prayer by Mr. Pierce the minutes of the previous meeting, as reported by the secretary, Mr. E. M. Posey, were approved. Dr. F. 8. Nash then, for the finance com- mittee, reported funds as coming in slowly, but with the prospect of no shortage. Messrs. Wm. D. Cabell and Albion K. Parris, for the reception and hotel com- inittees, respectively, spoke favorably of their work, boys having been obtained to act as guides for the visitors, and accom- modations secured for a good many dele- gates and friends. The trunk lines east of Chicago have reduced, through their New York agents, the railroad rates, and will thus help to materially increase the attend- ance at the convention. Acting Chairman Gibbons had engaged Convention Hall for a meeting Sunday, OctcSer 14, at 3:30 o'clock, to which the public is invited. Bishop Dudley will pre- side at this meeting, and, among others, Silas McBee of Sewanee, Tenn., and Bishop Doane of Albany, will speak. If an ad- Gitional place is needed for other exercises, Mr. O. G. Staples has kindly offered the use of Willard’s Hall. The question of using Metzerott Muste Hall or Epiphany Church was decided in favor of the latter place. Mr. Clarence E. Dawson of the printing committee produced the badges, which will be used during the convention. Visiting delegate badges are white in color, with a red St. Andrew’s cross; District of Colum- bia delegates, old gold, with the same cross, while the reception committee members will be distinguished by blue one, with a St. Andrew's cross. Some little discussion was precipitated by the question of having a book in which the delegates could write their autographs. The proposal was, however, rejected as a piece of useless sentimentality. Mr. Parris made the announcement that the Mt. Vernon Steamboat Company has agreed to run a special excursion at 3 p.m. on the Monday following the close of the convention at a reduced rate. After a few general remarks by the chair- man and others as to crosses at the depots and hotels the committttee adjourned and will report Monday evening all the work it has accomplished the last few months to the brotherhood member > ALL CAPTAINS TO APPEAR. Work Before the Lexow Investigating Committee in New York. A New York paper says: Without reveal- ing any secrets of the Lexow commitiee or of its counsel, or of anyone connected with the investigation of che police department, at can be said that every police captain in harness today, or when the committee meets again, will be hauled over the coals before the committee. There will be no exception to that unless the inquiry into charges made against the captains already billed to appear before the committee takes up so much time as to exclude some of the others from an opportunity to make an explanation. But it will be only a lack of time that will keep some of the captains off the stand. ————-+e- True Sympathy.
