Carr of North Carolina has issued the warrant for the execution of Ella Nor- wood, colored, of Durham county, on Feb- ruary 8. She was convicted of putting pins in her infant’s mouth. She appealed, but the supreme court sustained the verdict of the lower court. ‘The Union Pacific receivers have de- clared that they will fight the application to separate the St. Joseph and Grand Is- land system from the Union Pacific. News comes that eight negroes were burnea to death a day or two ago at Phil- lips’ mill, near Douglas, Ga. One of the ne- groes was about grown and the others were children. They were all in a house which accidentally caught fire, and the in- mates were consumed Lefore they could es- cape. ‘The grand jury of Chicago Wednesday, by a unanimous vote, refused to in- dict States Attorney Jacob Kern, who was charged with various irreg jes. The states attorney was particularly charged with allowing criminals to escape and with collecting moneys improperly. The grand jury held that the evidence was not at all conclusive. 5 The eighteen Moqui Indians who were re- sponsible for the recent disturbances on the reservation, left Fort Wingate Wednesday under charge of Lieut. Brainard and a squad of soldiers for San Francisco. The rebellious Moqui Indians will be confined in Alcatraz tor a time. Commander J. D. Graham of the United States navy, who has been master of the Columbian Liner steamer Finance, plying between New York and Colon, brought the versel into port yesterday for the last time. When he reached the office of the com- pary his resignation was asked for by Gen. Newton, agent for the line. As stated by The Star yesterday, he had been charged with inefficiency and with speaking dispar- agingly of the merchant marine service. Mayor Stuart of Philadelphia has vetoed the suburban trolley ordinance which was passed by councils, permitting the Phila- delphia Traction Company to use certain streets in six different wards in the city fer their electric cars. Gov. Mitchell of Florida has revoked his order issuing a warrent for the arrest of Henry M. Flagler, upon the requisition of Gov. Hogg of Texas. The order of revoca- ticn was made yesterday and filed in the office of the secretary of state. The boycott of the W. C. T. U. and the threatening weather combined to reduce the audience that heard W. C. P. Breckin- ridge’s lecture at Birmingham, Ala., last night to about 200 persons. Mrs. Breckin- ridge was the only lady present. Mr. Mecre, editor of the London Morning Post, is dead. Alexander Bidare, the French artist, dead. He was born at Toulouse in 1815. —see New Yerk Post Office. The commission appointed by the Post- master General to make an investigation of the New York post office has rendered its is report. This report recommends 39 re- movals, 520 salaries for increase, 174 reduc- tions, one transfer to the free delivery roll and the doing away of 3 positions. The re- sult of the investigation will involve an in- creased expenditure of $70,04) per year. The Post Office Department thinks that this is warranted by the needs of the of- fice, and its relations to the other offices of the country as a postal center. Among the recomm ions of the commission are: The investigation and auditing of the money order and stamp accounts of the several branch offices; the examination of the distributing clerks in the mailing di ion once in every six weeks; the adjust- ment of the salarles of chief clerks at $1,300 and of head clerks at $1,200 per an- num; the creation of the office of superin- tendent of stations, and the consolidation of two branch stations. a New Virginia Court of Appeals. The newly elected members of the su- preme court of appeals of Virginia met at Richmond Wednesday for organization. The members agreed upon Judge Jas. Keith as president and Judge John W. Ricly as resident judge. Mr. George Keith Taylor was re-elected clerk for the Richmond sit- ting. The conference held was secret. Judges Buchanan, Harrison and Riely qualified before they came to the city. Judges Cardwell and Keith qualified yes- terday at Richmond before & notary puab- ic. QUAKER TAMMANY How a Political Combine Runs the City of Philadelphia. DISHONEST MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT Senator Quay's Machine Squeezes Taxpayers Most Unmercifully. THE TROLLEY’S POWER Facts are rapidly coming to light to in- dicate the existence in Philadelphia of a political combination controlling the muni- cipal government, quite as dangerous as the Tammany ring which, until recently, dominated the entire city of New York. In contrast with the almost gengral silence of the Philadelphia newspapers on the sub- ject of this machine the exposures by two of the leading New York dailies are un- usually significant. It is stated in these publications that the Philadelphia system of political management is pyramidal in fcrm. At the base of the pyramid are the voters of the city, thousands in number. The next line consists of approximately 13,- S00 workers, whose business it is to get out the vote in each voting district. There are 920 of these districts, and in each fifteen men are selected, giving cne man to seven- teen votes, to get the full strength of the party to the polls. These men either oc- cupy small places under the city govern- ment ro are interested in contracts or liquor licenses. The third line of the pyramid is made up of the thirty-five ward bosses, who have absolute control of their respec- tive sections of the city. They are men selected with special regard for their fealty to the machine. Above these men are rais- ed the real elements of the “combine,” whose numbers are variously stated from three to seven. It is probable, according te the accounts published, that this upp: stratum of political power consists of Da- vid Martin, Hamilton Dissten, Charles A. Porter, Israel W. Durham, William R. Leeds and David H. Lane. There is sti another concentration of actual power, how- ever, and this time it is broadly and open- ly stated to b2 in the person of one man, U States Senater Matthew Stanley Quay. It is appagent that if such a combination exists in Fhiladelphia, it difters from that which has just been crushed in New York in that It has no formal organization suck as Tammiiny Hall, no incorporation, no name or designation except that which the peorge of the city have come to give it. This title is “the hog combine.” This desig- ation is the result of several years of in- ed expenditures in the city of Phila- delphia. The New York Herald prints a table showing that the expenses of the city in 1886 were §8,9: .

Both the Herald and the Times of New York print lists of the thirty-five ward bosses who form the third line of defense of this remarkable combination, Twenty- two of them hold state or municipal offices; several others are classed as “professional politicians,” and the remainder have im- portant and valuable holdings and con- tracts with the city. Martin v collector of internal revenue under President Har- rison for a short time. He is now quite ulthy, although engaged in no business. les A. Porter has made millions from sphalt contracts with city, and it is charged that the specifications for this work are so drawn that no competition can deprive Porter of the contracts or reduce his profitable rates. The Herald charges that this machine was formed by Senator Quay immediately after his great success in 1888 as the man- ager of the Harrison campuign. In that campaign Martin was his chief assistant and has been occupying that position in the organization of the Philadelphia combine, of which Mr. Quay is now understood to be the great directing force. It is generally asserted that members of the combination have grown rich out of the increased sums of money appropriated for the municipal expenses, and several instances of crooked work are given in both the Herald and the ‘Times. Storm Clouds Are Gathering. The people of Philadelphia will elect a mayor in Febcuary, and now the clouds are gathering for what promises to be a fu- rious storm, in which the choice of Senator Quay for mayor, State Senator Boies Pen- rose, will likely be the center. There have formerly been revolts against the political machine of the city, but rone has succeed- ed. This year it is said to be Senator Quay’s desire to elect his candidate for mayor by a practically unanimous vote, and the as- sertion 1s made that he is engaged in nego- tiations with certain democratic factions to ecure large bloc of the normally demo- cratic vote. These efforts have aroused the antagonism of the pulpit and the women of Philadelphia, who have come forth with posters and circulars protesting against the nomination and election of Penrose, who is denounced as ‘“‘Quay’s candidate,” as a man without mature public experience ex- cept as a legislator, in which capacity his record is not altogether favorable. He is the author and supporter of several meas- ures that have won for him the denuncia- tion of even the republican press. He is a man of culture and good family, but his association with the “combine” has lost for him the respect of the better element of the city. An independent movement is predicted to be among the possibilities if the “combine” insists upon forcing Penrose as its nominee. It is now known that this selection was not made with the harmoni- ous consent of all the members of the “combine,” but that it was forced down their throats by Senator Quay at the in- stance, probably, of Israel Durham, who promises to become a dangerous rival to Martin as the active dispenser of patronage and the trusted lieutenant of the head cen- ter of the machine. The Trolley's Power. One of the worst features of this politi- cal combination, it now appears, is the power which has been given to the Phila- delphia Traction Company, which oper- ates a trolley system of street cars in every one of the important streets of the city. There are two acts of recent date by the city officials in favor of this cor- poration that have aroused especial bit- terness among the Phiiadelphians. One of these is now in operation, but the other has been checked. The first is the grant to the company cf about ninety miles of un- opened streets, which gives the trolley company entire control of a vast area of suburban property soon to be built up. No compensation whatever was paid to the city for this privilege, and the act of the common council has been dubbed the “grab-all” ordinance. Late in the fall the park commissioners granted the trolley company the right to build lines through Fairmount Park, which is known as one of the most beautiful public reservations in the country, containing 2,791 acres. The grant is not given direct to the Philadel- phia Traction Company, but to the Fair- mount Transportation Company, a corpor ation chartered under the laws of New Jersey, and the incorporators of which in- clude several members of the traction company. It is a general and not undenied assertion that the Fairmount Transporta- tion Company is merely the agent of the traction company. The Times points out that James McManes, president of the park commission, is a director of the trac- tion company; Peter B. Widener, a park commissioner, is president of the traction company; David W. Sellars, a park com- missioner, is counsel of the traction com- pany. This information is quoted from a statemert recently prepared and issued by the United Labor League of Philadelphia, which vigorously opposed the grant and made a determined opposition that has resulted, together with the effect of the public indignation, in the passage by the city councils of a resolution disapproving the issue of the license for the park road, and directing the city solicitor to begin immediate proceedings to test the rights of the park commissiun to grant such a l- cense. It 1s feared, however, that should the “‘combine’s” nominee for mayor be elected, the company can secure this val- uable privilege. The retiring mayor, Ed- win S. Stuart, has been inclined to fight the “combine” to a certain extent, and has undoubtedly blocked several efforts at venal legislation. Electric Light Profits. Another scandal that is alleged in this connection is the electric light trust, as it has practically become, composed of all the electric lighting companies of the city, who, dividing the city into districts, have entered into an agreement which prevents any competition whatever and insures the payment of a high rate by the city. The Herald points out the present excessive rate of $161 for each arc light, and insists that the city could do its own lighting for $80 per lamp. This makes a total profit for the company of over $350,000 per year. It alleges also that members of the city council own electric light stock and openly fight all efforts to break the electric light combination. A Wholesale Grab. Perhaps the most serious charge is that contained in the following statement by the Herald of the power of the trolley com- panties: “Another grave scandal has been the granting of trolley franchises to all the street car lines. Councils under the con- trol of the combine deliberately voted to give the Philadelphia Traction Company, the Poeple’s Traction Company and the Electric Traction Company permission to trolley about 150 miles of atreets, with no compensation to the city but $50 to pay for pfinting the ordinances. This high-handed operation caused a storm, and the mayor vetoed the ordinances. Just at this time the supreme court rendered a decision com- peliing all street car lines to pave and leep in repair from curb to curb all streets traversed by them. The old companics had fought this for years, and they owed the city $310,000 for work done by the city and charged to them. The councilmen then put in the provision that the companies should do the paving, and the ordinances were again pessed. “The latest example of venality of coun- cils has been the passage of the suburban trolley bill, which gives to the Philadelphia Traction Company ninety-one miles of un- cpened streets. This is the greatest grab ever attempted in the city, and the bill will be passed over the mayor's veto, if it be- comes necessary. No secret is*made of the fact that in that event the sixty-five com- mon councilmen, who make the necessary three-fifths to pass the measure, will re- ceive $200 each, if they want it. “Uusually, in such important matters, the votes of councilmen are not held so cheap- ly. Such a franchise as the suburban is worth more than $13,000, which would be the total cost of sixty-five councilmen, at $200. Some one else must be getting some- thing, and the suspicion, of course, points to the combine. Paving and Gas Scandals. “An interesting phase of the trolley busi- ness is that Charles A. Porter's form prof- ited by the councilmanic provision that the companies should pave the streets they oc- cupied. Mr. Porter, being a great man in the combine, was able to secure the con- tracts for the paving, with very little per- suasion. “There are many other matters which might play a part in the fight which may be waged against the combine in January. One is the scandal involved in the policy to abandon and permit to fall into decay the city gas works, which were worth $25,000,- 000 a few years ago, and in which $2,000,000 have lately been spent, in order that a private concern might sell to the city wa- ter gas. This private corporation, under the patronage of the combine, received from the city for water gas during the year $570,449.96, “Another is the mandamus scandal. Un- der this system the councils order all sorts of work done without considering the cost end without ascertaining whether there is money in the treasury to pay for it. A favored contractor of the combine «docs the work and sends in his bill. The controller refuses to pay it, as there is no money in the city treasury appropriated for it. The contractor applies for a mandamus, the case goes to a referee, one of the legal friends of the combine, and the decision is against the city. These payments for man- damus have increased from $523,680 in 1891 to $2,500,000 in 1894. i ———_—_—__+-2+_____. NEW SHIPS AND LIQUOR. Subjects Considered in Gov. Cleaves* Inaugaral Me: ire. In the course of his message to the Maine legislature yesterday Gov. Cleaves said: “It is confidently asserted by many of our leadirig ship builders and ship owners that if our government shall retain for this in- dustry the protection accorded by our wise navigation laws Maine in the near future will be producing as much fron and steel tonnage as she has heretofore of wood. Ve may well view with alarm the pro- posed free admission to American registry of ships built in foreign countries, for it must be detrimental to our state and to the shipping and business interests of its citi- zens. “An expression from the legislature to the Congress of the United States upon a subject so vital to the state will be appro- priate.” On the subject of the lquor traffic the governor notes that in only 33 of the 458 towns and cities of the state are agencies maintained under the law which authorizes the maintenance of agencies “to furnish municipal officers of towns in this state, and duly authorized agents of other states, with pure, unadulterated intoxicating liquors, to be kept and sold for medicinal, mechanical and manufacturing purposes.” Official returns show that during the past three years intoxicating liquors were sold through the state commissioner to the es- tablished city and town agencies amount- ing to $338,803. - Some changes in the law regulating the sale of liquor through state agencies are suggested by the governor, looking toward a more complete control of the traffic than is at present exercised by the state. ane oe is Sime s INTERRED AT HALIFAX. Final Services Over the Remains of Sir John Thompson. The remains of the late Sir John Thomp- son were removed to St. Mary’s Cathedral at Halifax, N. S., yesterday, where the re- quiem mass and funeral service were cel- ebrated. Archbishop O’Brien preached an eloquent sermon, The attendance at the funeral service was necessarily restricted to people of of- ficial positions. Among those present were Lady Thompson and family and relatives; Lord and Lady Aberdeen, representing her majesty; Sir Matkenzie’ Bowell and his cabinet; Lieut. Gen. Montgomery Moore and ata! members of the provincial cab- inets; high government officials; judges from all over Canada. After the requiem mass had been celebrated the remains were interred in Holy Cross cmetery. The English and American colonies at Rome, the mayor and the other municipal authorities were present yesterday at a funeral service in honor of the late Sir John Thompson, premier of Canada, whose funeral took place yesterday at Halifax, N. S. The three Protestant churches at Rome were decked with mourning emblems out of respect for the late Canadian states- man. coe A Presentation. A number of friends of Mr. A. 8. Belote, the superintendent of the Grace P. E. Sunday cchool of Southwest Washington, gathered at his home on G street Wedne: day evening to tender him a present, a handsomely jeweled pair of cuff buttons, a token of recognition of his earnest work in Grace Church parish for the past nine years. Mr. Belote responded by thanking his friends, anc told a short history of his work as superintendent, a.d praised those who had supported him in his efforts to put the Sunday school in its present good condi- tion. A sumptuous collation was served, and after much merry making the affair ceme to un end. oo Plensant Surprise. The employes of Contractor J. M. Dunn gave that gentleman a happy surprise Wednesday night. Shortly after dark the entire force, numbering about fifty men, called upon Mr. Dunn at his home, 1324 5th street northwest. Mrs. Dunn had been let into the secret, and made ample preparations to receive the guests. There were several surprises sprung during the evening. A first- class minstrel performance was given by some of the boys, who acquitted themselves creditably. After the entertainment a bountiful supper was served and Mr. Dunn was presented with a handsome gold locket, with the badge of the Catholic Knights of America worked thereon. The party dis- persed at @ late hour. WHAT A NUISANCE HE IS The Man Who is Forever Bragging About His Health and Strength.

Very well, friend; 1f you don’t need stimu- lants let them alone. The same advice applies to pills and plasters. But, please recollect that arost people do net ketp themselves up to a high standard of health all the time. They simply can’t. They are depressed by long hours in the cold air, Their feet get wet, and they droop to ill-ventilated rooms.

Burrows was nominated last night at Lansing, Mich., for the short term senatorship on the second ballot by the following vote: J. C. Bur- rows, 70; Jchn Patton, 25; S. S. Olds, 23; J. Hubbell, 4. The term will expire March 4, 18%, - Ex-Senator Sewell's Chances. Senator Sterm and Assemblymen Wilbur, Ginder and Exton, the four republican representatives from Mercer county in the next New Jersey legislature, have held a conference on the United States senator- ship question, and have formally decided to suppert Gen. Sewell. ‘These four members have all along been counted in the Sewell column by the friends of the Camden leader, but this formal de- cision has considerable significance as in- dicative of the claim that the opposition to Gen. Sewell was gathering such strength daily that instead of his having an easy victory, as has been conceded, his election was a matter of great uncertainty. The opponents of Gen. Sewell had been lately claiming that at least two of the Mercer members were doubtful, and that, perhaps, a third could be induced to vote for Franklin Murphy or some other person upon whom the opposition could agree. Working Against Wolcott. A Denver dispatch says: Although it is generally believed that Senator Wolcott will be re-elected, there is a powerful in- fluence at work against him. It is said that Tom Bowen has not given up hopes of taking Wolcott’s place, and he and Col. Stratton of Cripple Creek are working to- gether. Senator Frye Renominated. ‘The republicans of the Maine legislature last night unanimously renominated Will- iam P. Frye as candidate for United States Senator. In his speech of acceptance Mr. Frye said: “We have a strong hope and reasonable expectation of giving from our delegation the next republican candidate for the presidency.” The Minnesota Senatorship. Gov. Nelso 1 of Minnesota has entered the race fer Senator Washburn’s seat in the United States Senaté. The latter accuses him of bad faith,but the governor intimates that the Senator is responsible for news- paper attacks on him, Congressman Mc- Cleary has arrived from Washington and formally announced his candidacy. The list now includes Washburn, Nelson, Mc- Cleary and Comstock. The last two have about ten votes each, and it is a close con- test between Washburn and Nelson for the other 120 republican votes in the legisla- ture. Washburn appears to be leading slightly. —___+e-__ Lawyer Shelby Assaults an Editor. Another chapter was added yesterday afternoon at Lexington, Ky., to the Pol- lard-Breckinridge affair. John T. Shelby, law partner of Col. Breckinridge, assaulted Editor Charles C. Moore of the Blue Grass Blade with a cane, breaking it over his head. He then tore ouf a bunch of Moore's whiskers. George S. Shanklin, another lawyer and Breckinridge supporter, accom- panied Shelby, and looked on with appar- ent pleasure while Shelby assaulted the editor. Moore had published in his paper an open letter to Madeline Pollard, re- qvesting her to go on the lecture platform with him, now that Col. Breckinridge is lecturing.’ He said that she had more sense than Breckinridge and all his lawyers, mentioning Shelby among the rest, and that she did net lie, as all of them had done. Shelby allowed his temper to over- come him during the famous trial here, assaulting one of Miss Pollard’s counsel after the close of court one day. ——— Sixty-one branches have been added to the Army Temperance Association of Eng- land since May.
