- OMAHA DalLy BEE THIRTWENTH YEAR. OMAHA, NEB. TUESDAY ¥ THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Meking it Decidedly Lively for the Railroads. Looking After their Charges and Land Steals, A Lit{le Swindle From Malaga Exposed. The Reoeipts of the Postal De- partment, Clirculars with Yery Mystorions Dis- ‘ributors. FROM WASHINGTON. RAIDEOAD REGULATIONS, Wasmnoton, January 14.-At a mecting of the house committee on Pa- «<ific railroads today the bill intro- duced by Mr. Anderson, proposing to amend the Pacitic railway sinking fund, 1a0 that annually a sum equal to ten per went of the principal and 1nterest will be «due the gevernment, and the resolution «of Mr. -Anderson requesting the secre- itary of'the interior for information as to ‘whether the Union Pacific railroad is in .arreors to the government and if so ‘whether he has taken any steps to en- ‘foree: the law, were referred to asub- committee for future consideration. iBeveral bills providing that land grant railronds pay the cost of surveying and rselecting lands, were referred to a sub- «committee for future consideration, as wwas also the bill regulating freight rates -of the Union and Central Pucific. To «another committee was referred Mr. Anderson's bill for the Adjustment of grants of land to the Kansas Pacitic and 1the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. Mr. Cobb submitted to the house com- mittee on public lands a report forfeiting ‘the land grants of the Gulf & Ship Island, Tuskalocsa & Mobile, Mobile & ‘Now Orleans, Elyton & Bardsbluffs, Memphis, Charleston & Savannah, Al- ‘bany, New Orleans, State Line & Iron Mountain, and Arkansas Railroad com- panies, that have not earned the grants. The report was adopted and ordered pre- sented to the house. Van Eaton pre- sented a dissenting report in the caso of the Gulf & Ship Island. Roger A. Pryor made an argument in behalf of the Southern Pacific claim to the Texas Pacific grant. Another meeting was held this even- +ing, at which D. Robbh, of Arizona, made a strong argument against the transfer of the grant to the Southern Pacific. The bill introduced by Mr. Belford to promote the public welfare in securing reasonable rates of transportationon rail- roads aided by the issue of United States bonds recites the annual reports of the Union and Central Pacific railroads, which show large sums as net earnings above 10 per cent, ana provides that the tariff of local and through freight be reduc- ed one half the average rate existing in 1883 without regard to classification, A SWINDLE EXPOSED. The United States consul at Malaga reports to the department of state a fraudulent scheme intended to obtain money from credulous Americans reoent- ly discovered there, after having appar- ently been for a considerable time in successful operation, It is as follows: The alleged cure of one of the Spanish churches wrote the head of a family in the United States that he attended in his dying moments in prison a brigadier who entrusted to him the guardianship of a child and a large property relation- ship with the person addressed and the young heir being intimated. Consider- able money 18 alleged to have been se- creted by the brigadier during his flight with the Carlist army, and secrecy is en- joined on account of the sanctity of the prieatly oftice and efforts of the Spanish government to obtain the secreted for- tune. The communication ends with a request for money to send the child to| its American relatives. The consul adds that he is constantly receiving inquiries from the United States about such let- ters, and in some instances persons from this country even visited Spain for the 7purpose of obtaining the fortune sup- . posed to be awaiting them. POSTAL RECEIPDY, Mr. Hazen, third assistant postmaster general, has compiled a statement based -on returns from 140 postafficos which wusually return one-half the postel reve- .nue, showing that_the gross receipts for :the quarter ended December.31, 1883, were $5,063,876, This is a falling off in \receipts’ from the corresponding quarter -of the previous year of $183,854, or 1.3 ercent. A loss of 5 percent has ibeen expected on account of reduced _postage. These returns are very grati- fying, and indicate that the department will be 1n receipt of revenue suflicient to .at least meet the expenses of the precent ifiscal year, WHO DISTRIBUTED THEM] In ,response to the house resolution stke secretary of the treasury has ad «dressed a lotter to that body stating that semployes from Indianain his department received. an assessment circular from the ndiana republican state ceutral com- mittee, bnt he is unable to discover the @erson who distributed it to them. He also statesithat he has been informed that during the last political ccntest cir- culars were recelved from a political committee iz New York but he was not able to obtain a copy. WEISKY IN BOND, Mr, Beck introduced in the senate to- day a il identical with the Willis house bill, extending for two years the bonded period ou distilled spirits. Also a bill providing that the act empowering the secretary of the treasury to use the sur- plue in the treasury for the redemption of United Btates bogds shall not be con- strued to authorice him to pay a pre- mium therefor. FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS, KENATE, WasmiNGrox, January 14.—Mr. Vest (dem., Mo.) presented a petition of the pork packers of 8t. Louis, praying for re- taliatory legislation to protect them from the exclusion of American pork from Ger- many and France, Mr, Call (dem., ) introduced a bill 10 repeal all laws prohibitiuy pensions to wounded and disabled soldiers of the ’ United States without proof of loyalty. The senute proceeded to the election of a president pro tempore, and elected Mr. Anthony (rep., R. 1) who, ina few fit- ting words and much feeling, declined the honor, owing to his ill health. The q uestion then arose as to whether the declination of Mr. Anthony retained Mr. Edmunds (rop., Vt.) as pmidentrrn tempore without further action, and after debate it was decided to avoid the doubt by & new election. Mr. Sherman (rep., Ohio) offered the following: Resolved, That George F. Edmunds, senator frem Vermont, is hereby chosen president pro tempore of the senate. Mr. Bayard (dem., Del), moved to amend by striking out the name of Mr. Edmunds and inserting George H, Pen- dleton, senator from Ohio. The vote on the amendment resulted eas 24, nays 32. Not agreed to, Mr. Mahone voted with the republi- cans and Mr. Riddleberger paired with Mr. Williams (dem, Ala.) The resolution of Mr. Sherman was agreed to and the oath of oftice was ad- munistered to Me, Edmunds by the pre- siding officer, Mr. Garland, (dem., Ark. 'l'h)o following resolution was offered by Mr. Sherman and agreed to: Resolved, That the secrotary of the senate inform the president of the United States and the house of repre- sentatives that the senate has chosen Hon. George F. Edmunds, senator from Verinont, president pro tem. of the sen- ate. After some_further action Mr. Hill, (rep. Col.), addressed the senate on his postal telegraph bill, and when he had concluded special messages from the president were read, transmitting a com- munication from the secretary of the interior and submitting estimates from certain freedmen for lands in the Okla- homa district, for the relief of mission Indians in California and an _estimate of $30,000 for the survey of lands purchased from the Creek Indians for the Semi- noles. The senate went into executive sesion and soon after adjourned. The senate, in executive session, took up the Mexican reciprocity treaty. Only one vote was taken, and that upon a motion to recommit. It is understood that the purpose of the mction was to defeat ratification by delaying the treaty in committoe until after the 20th, upon which date, if not ratified, it fails. The motion was made in the interest of the sugar-producers of Louisiana, After some discussion it was lost by a consid- erable majority. Further discussion fol- lewed, in the course of whish the general economic features of the treaty were commented upon, chiefly by its oppo- nents. Pending a decision the session closed.

DELMONICO'S DEATH. A Demented Wandcmr in the Jersey Woods. He is Frozen to Death and the Body Found by Boys. His Wild Stock Speculations and Losses. A Lifo in Which all Excitements Were Exhausted. History of the Delmonicos and Their Famous Itestaurants, N TO DEATH, THE DELMONICO MYSTERY SOLVED, Newark, N. J., January 14, —It was on Saturday, the dth of this month, that Charles Delmonico, the proprietor of the famous Delmonico restaurants, in New York, left his home in that city, and because he had been ill for some months, and was in a feeble condition at the time of his disappearance, his unex- plained absence caused his family and friends hardly less distress than anxiety for his safoty. Every oxertion was put forth to find him either living or dead, but without avail, althcugh rewards were offered and detectives employed, and un- til to-day the mystery of his whereabouts remained unsolved. While the search was at its height, there is no doubt that he was lying dead uu the mountain side in Orange, this state, having probably died on the Gth, the next day after his disap- pearance. Two boys who were out huuting rab- bits to-dayfound a dead body undera tree in the woods on the mountain side just below General McClellan’s residence. The Orange police were informed and took charge of the body, and recogni it as that ef Charles Delmonico notifie: the friends of the deceased in New York and Dr. Henalt, the county physician. The clothing, papers and jowelry on the body were undisturbed. = There is no doubt that Delmonico ina fit of tem- porary insanity wandered to the spot and was frozen to death. He was 44 years of aze, was born in New York and was a bachelor. 1t is learned that about 2 o'clock on the morning of January 6, John Dief thal, who works for a farmer on Oran, mountain, while driving from Monteclair to Orange saw a man leaning wearily against the fence. This was at the junc- tion of the road leading from Orange to Montclair. It is certain now that the man was Delmonico. He hailed Dief- fenthal and begged shelter. The farmer said the speech of the wayfarer was so thick he could scarcely understand him. Delmonico’s speech had been thick since his trouble came on. He was bitterly cold but the farmer was afraid of tramps and instead of taking the man mto his wagon drove on after directing him to Orange, & mile distant. The wander- ings of the man from this point cen only be conjectured, but he probably went aimlessly along the road on the mountain until overcome with cold snd then laid down and was frozen to death. RUSHING FOR THE REWARD, New York, January 14.—When the dispatch announcing the finding of Del- FROY monico’s body was received at the Adams express office, A. C. Babcock, to whom it was addressed, was already on the way to Orange. Mr. Hoey and Mr Mora were discussing the latest clues together in Hoey’s private rooms. Bangs, manager of Pinkerton's detective agency, rushed inwith the announcement, *‘We've found the body.” After a consultation the four men jumped into one of the Adams express wagons, and the party reached the station justin time to catch the train forOrange ~ Delmonico, it would scem, after leaving the elevated railroad train went at once to the Pennsylvania rail- road ferry, where he boarded the first train for Newark, After wandering about in the neighborhood where his gloves and pieces of letters and other memoranda were found, he walked back to Broad street and boanled one of the horse cars runing between Newark and Orange, ([t is probable he did not know in what direction ho was going, and that when the car arrived at the terminus of the road he walked in a dazed conditio along the Northfield road and wunderu? in the woods, The night was cold, the temperature being nearly at zero, and benumbed by the cold he probably lay down to sleep and was frozen to death, IFAMILY HISTORY, Probably no living New Yorker was konown to more people than Charles Delmonico, and it 18 dificult to ‘‘make him dead.” The Delmonicos were orig- inally Spanish, but they early emigrated to Bwitzerland, attracted by the ensign of the Alpine republic, but finding it very hard to get a living there, in 1827 two brothers, John and Peter, accom- panied by their nephew, Francois, left the hawmlet of Faido, in the Canton du Tessin, Switzerland, and came to New York. They ware skilled in the culinary art, which they turned to advantage by opening an unpretending restaurant on illiam street, which soon became fa- mous, and always held its own, even after the greater establishmept. corner of Broadway and Chambers street, and on Fourteenth stroet, were in full sweep. It was down here that Webster and Clay dined togother, hero that Louis Napo- leon exhibited his card tricks and prac- ticed tho new *‘valse’ hehad just learned, Here Garibaldi got & warm meal or two at the expense of & generaus and sympa- thetic admirer, The Chambers street restaurant was established in 1855, and at once became the fashionable rendewvous. Here the great society dinnere were given for eight years —till it was iu turn suspersed by the more palatial establishment on Four- teenth street. This last house had a famous history, and illustrious eurround- ings. Princes and grand dukes were auong its guests, and each president in turn was foted there. There the Dickens dinuer was given. There Morsereceived his apotheosis. There Field was honored at the completion of the Atlantic cable. In 1876 the present principal house on Fifth avenue, at Madison equare, was built, and three other Delmonico estab lishments are still flourish: CHARLES' EXCLTEMENT, Charles, the deceased, was boru in thiy city. He was a bachelor, and to that is attributed the fact that he was a broken down man. For four years he has been morbid, and lately he has_become cyni cal, bitter and morose. His mind has failed rapidly, and for the last three months he has not superintended his business to any extent, It is reported that he lost a million dollars in stocks Iast summer, and it is to be inferred that the report is true. Like Selomon, he had exhausted all other forms of excite- ment, and then he rushed into Wall street a year or two ago with a frenzied desperation, as Solomon would no doubt have done if thore had boen a lively stock exchange on. “‘the street which we called Straight,” 2,900 years ago. Delmonico was one of the men who went into the streat for fun and not for gain—caring little, indeed, whether he gained or lost. His reason was un- seated, no doubt, but that' was not the result of his stock operations, but the cause of them, His néphew, C. D, Christ, who will inherit & good deal of tho $3,000,000 of existing. property, has already a restaurant called ‘‘Christ's restaurant,” (pronounced short *‘Christ”) up near the McComb's dam bridge. 1t is understood that if he succeeds to the great establishment in the city the name of Delmonico will be retained as tho designation. The body was brought here late this aftornnoon in a perfect state of preserva- tion, although it has been eight or nine days since death, The funeral will occur Thursday morning. — i IOWA LEGISLATUR The Preliminary Steps to an Organ- ization, Des Moixks, Ia,, Janury 14.—The legislature met in biennial session at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
