AGRUESOME COVERNOR'S DAY The Blizzard Interferes With tho Inauguration at Dos Moines. MARCHED AMID CLOUDS OF SNOW The Rights of the People With Re- spect to Corporations Discussed— The Reeeptron to Guvernor Thayer and Sta Inamgurated in a Storm. Drs Mofxes, Ia, Jun ial Tele: gram to the Bue)—Pr I s un- kindly disposed to an fowa inauguration by the kind of weather that is usus day was a fuc simile of the insuguration two years ago, when it stormed the whole time, after being pleasant for days preceding. 1t has been customary to invite one military company from outside to with the Governor's Guards, of this ci an escort o the great man, Last year the Governor's Greys, of Dubuque, were se lected, but were defayed by storm and ar- rived too late to take part in the purade, This year Company 13, Seco egiment, of Davenport, were given th uor and ar- rived this afternoon, ft v bank, three hours late, long after the parade Lud gone without them. So it was rather a sickly procession that started from the Kirkwood house at 2:80 P.om. There was Major Parker of the Third reg- fment, one strong, on horseback. Behind him came the regimeotal band and the Gov- ernor’s Guards rolliug through the blinding a small boat in a heavy sea. ning Governor ernor Hull, and hraska with his staff, Then came Larrabee, Licutenant ( Governor Thayer of N who are the guests of lowa’s governor. The procession moved by the shortest course to the capitol, entering the north front. Scats to accommodate about three hundred people had been reserved in the center of the rotundn, under the dome, Thes 2 only portially occupied by both brauches of the gene asscmbly, the states- men from the prawics looking s if they thought the whole show was gotten up on their account. Around them were grouped the famill of state oftic and fow othe: ted guests, The spucious cor- ridors opening from the rotunda were thrown open to the general public nnd a smaller del- ogation lel\ usual of ‘‘we, the people,” stood up through the exercises and pre- tended to be comfortable. A slight platform had been built near the eutrance, which occupied by Governor Larr: aud his Ne- aska guests and other notables, Rev. Dr. A. H. Ames, pastor of the First M. K. church, of this city, made the inaugu- ration prayer, and then Acting Chief Justice Rothrock, of the supreme court, adminis- tered the oath of office, und William Larra- bee became the de jure as well as the de facto governor of Towa for a sccond term of two years. Thercupon tho gOVErnor pro- ceedea deliv his inaugural address in which he discussed at length the questions of American labor, free ballots, pensions and postal telegraph. He then dealt with state affairs going into the railroad question in detail. He spoke of the granger law, denying that there was a public demand for its repeal except 8o far as the il Is intentionally made it odious. He declared t transportution 1 “far too high' and bear little or to the cost of service. He reviewed the facts of the growth of the lowa _railr system, how the people hiad given 0,000,000 in aid to railroads; how the cost of building ri had gone down, but, without any co ing reduction in freight rates, He n:lu uled the argument that railroads built up the country and that therefore the public was under unlimitea obligations to them. It appears to me,” he said, *“that this ar- gument, if carried into its logical result, would transfer tne title to a large share of their income to the heirs of Mr. Watts, the inventor of the steam engine.” He argued, with great force, the right of the state to fix rates, He declared that for years our miners . liave had just cause to be dissatistied with their lot, but blamed their suffering largely on the same railroad discriminations. At the conclusion of his speech the oath was administered to Lieutenant Governor Hull, and then both branches of the legisla- thre convened in their respective chambers, and the publie silently and wearily dispersed. “The storm undoubtedly had much to do with the small attendance at the inaugara- tion,” and the little interest that was taken in the affuir. But if it had been ple ant, there would'nt have been much more en- thusiasm for an Jowa inauguration present conducted, is apretty tame proceed- ing. Tho experience of “to-day, W hundred people rattled around in the rotunda and corridors that would hold sevi thousand, was a strong argument in favor of hereafter holding the inauguration in the house of representatives, where seats could be provided for about all who would care to attend. A notable feature of the inauguration exer- cises to-day was the prescuce of Governor Thayer, of Nebraska, with the following staft in full uniform: Adjutant General W, V., Cole, chief of staff; Colonol E. M. Correll, quartermaster gencral; Dr. M. W. Stone, surgeon general; v H. Hoteh- kiss, inspector gener Major John C, Wat- son, judge advocate gevcral; Colonel E. D, Dudley and Colonel H. E. P camp.

The first wus threatened by a notice of the *Frisco road to the effect that on Junuary 16 it would reduce eorn rates from southern Kansas to St. Louis, Th wus seized upon by some of the roads us a vretext to reduce rates from Kansas and o meeting was called to prevent this if it could be done. Th St. Louis & San offered at the meeting to notice or to confine the effects its own territory but this the Alton re- fused and at once gave notice that it would, fifteen days from date, January make a nt rate on grain _from Kansas City to ago. This settled the matter und the re ns will be made.

An Amicable Arrangement. CHicaco, Jan. 12—At a joint conference to-day between the eastern and western roads an amicable agreement was reached as to divisions of through rates from seaboard to Mississippi river points.

THE WRATH ‘0F A WOMAN, YR Mrs. Moore Breathing Threats Against Congropsman O'Neill SHE CLAIMS TO HOLD SECRETS, The a Levee at the Southern Hotel No Flies "on Her to Slvl‘nk" of. Ready to Lay, Him Out. A St. Louis special to the Chicago Tribune Mrs., Moore-O'Neill, radiant in a ming gown, held a reception at the South- ern all day. Mostof her callers were news. paper reporters, and collectively and indi- vidually she told them the story of the cul- mination of her tender attachment for the man who represents the Eighth Missouri district in congress. The lady bas a weak- ness for tears and her eyes during the re and numerous encores had a tendency to swim. After listening to her statements, many of which were very striking, the heads of her callers are affected with a similar ten- dency to swim. Boiled down to a presenta- ble form, her story contains these four prop- ositions: First, I am John J. O'Neill's wife auuml there is another woman in the case; Iwill make him acknowledge me as ‘o3 fourth, there are no flics on me. When asked if she was registered at _the nal Hotel, Washington, as “Mrs. ill," she said: Yes, sir, I supposc the register will show it, though he may have fixed that with them by this time." “What is Mr. O'Neill's object in denying his anarriage!” “I know, but I have nothing to say just now. 1 know what Mr. O'Neill will do for a friend and I know what he will do when cornered. I do not want to injure Mr. O'Neill thoughi it 1did T would lay bim out to-day.” “Mr. O'Neill accuses you of signing his name to checks. Did you ever sign his name to a letter or order?” “Never, except in his presence. Some- times when our gas-meter was frozen, for in- stance, and they wouldn't send a man over from the gas-oftice, Mr. O'Neill would say, ‘Sign my name to it; they'll pay some atten- Ll said you signed his name to an order for some coul.”’ “Ithink if that matter is looked into you will find that that was paid with a check of Mr. O'Neill's, made out to me. He says that 1 bought some shoes for myself and my little girl and had them charged to him. =Well, I did getthem at Saks & Co.’s, wherc for three years past I have been buying clothes for John O'Neul and little John, and he never questioned a bill before, For three years past I have bought everything that ‘John O'Neill has worn except his outside clothes; and now he complains that T bought a pair of shoes for myself, IwishI had them here, I'd throw them at his head.” “Now," said Mrs. O'Neill tearfully, “Mr. O'Neill telographs to Me. Dognan for fear that I will try to borrow money from him. Mr. Dognan is Mr. O'Neill's brother-in-law. but Mr, Degnan is a gentieman. I have paid all my bills so far and Mr. O'Neill need not beafraid. I havo receipts from the hotel for all my bills. T was going back to Wash- ington this morning and I had my ticket bought, but now I will top here for” two or three days more. Any one who knows Mr. O'Neill knows that I exercised an influenc over him for the good in the last thre He was very much afraid that he would not be reappointed chairman of the committee on labor in this congrass. He did not like the way Mr, Carlislo treated him at_the last session. When I was hare in November Mr. Carlislé stopped at tha hotel for a duy, and I sent out word to Mr. O'Neill to come ' down and see him and show> Rim _some attention. Ho did so, and I was never so_proud in m life as I was the dayhe was appointe to the chairmanship.” I know a good deal about John O'Neill's position in the house and fust how much credit he deserves for h.s work there. Why, that arbitration bill, which he und Crain 'both claimed, did nof come from either of them, and neither of them saw it before it was all’ written out. I know that. No one'knows what T suffered all summer. Everybody expected I was going to be married and going to Burope. I did not tell everybody I knew that he was too poor to take me with him. T had too much pride for that. When he got back I heard that he had been traveling with another woman in Europe. T asked him about it in Louis and he denied it flatly. I believed him then, When I got back to Washington, though, I heard some more about itand T went over to Philadelphia to find if it was true. 1 found that he had trav- cled with Mrs. — of No. — Fifteenth street, Philadelphia. 1 taxed hiln with it in Wash' ington, and he would not deny it.

Cueyexye, Wyo., Jan, 10.—[Special Tele gram to the Bee.<Governor Moonlight's message to the Wyoming legislature this afternoon attracted isiderable attention and was listened to by a large au nce of Wyoming people. The governor said: “In the two years past since the meeting of the Nintly legislative assembly many changes have taken place in the territory. Many new developments have been made and many new industries are attracting the attention of thoughtful men within and without the terri- o These changes require many altera- tions in our laws aud customs and it is in re gord to these alterations that my recom- mendations to you chiefly apply.” The governor then mmended that county officials be paid stated salaries in- stead of fees and commissions and that county commissioners be prohibited from creating debts when no funds were in the treasuries to meet them, He advised the establishment of a territorial emigration bureas he celebration of Arbor day, in imi- tation of Nebraska, and that the ti ction of members to the legisla blies be changed 8o as to elect my issues affecting the various localities and mot contingent upon the congressional election. Concerning new counties he said: “Wy- oming is now divided into eight counties, and this division in times past, with only one rail- road, and the cattle industry absorbing all other interests, was perhaps the very best under all circumstanc Now, however, there are four different lines of railroads reaching out into the territory with a very favorable prospeet of many miles being built before the next meeting of the legislative as- sembly.

A New York Man Found Dy a Bullet Wound. New York, Jan. 12.—This morning Theo- dore Houston arose, dressed himself and went into the library. A few minutes later his wife found him lying on the sofa semi- unconscious and bleeding from a_pistol wound inthe temple. Though uble to for a little while, he refused to_give any_ in- rding the shooting and died this afternoon. Mrs. Houston she knows no reason why he should commit suicide and _ believes the shoot- ing was accidental. The dead man was A brother of Colonel D. C. Houston, United States engincer corps, and of Alexander H. Houston, a merchant of Milwaukee. Atone time he was scerctary of the Oswego Midland railroad and vice president and_general manager of the New , Ontario & Western railroad. After- ward hie was one of the receivers of the West Shore road. Several years ugo a sister of Houston, who had been in ill-hcalth for some time, committed suicide by drowning in the New Hawpshire river. st Sullivan as a Shooter. [Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxpox, Jan. 12.—[New York Herald Cable Special to the Bee.]—Despite the adverse weather a great many shooters and patrons of pigeon shooting assembled at Mr. John Bull's Royal Adelaide hotel, Windsor, to- day. Tents had been provided and the fleld Iaid out with the usual traps and boundary fiags, Among the company were John L. Sullivan, Jack Ashton and Mr. E. C. Holske. The chief event was the competition for a cup givon by Mr. Bul to shoot for at nine birds each. There was cheering when Sullivan went to shoot, but his prowess was not equal to bringing down a pigeon. Evidently his aim for a pizeon is not equal to bis boxing powers, Despite that he was un- suceessful, Sullivan gained applause and in the course of time may, by industry, become a rival to Dr. Carv, g From A Plot Against the Prince.
