THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SEVENTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA, MONDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 1888, NUMBER 340, LOOKING DEATH IN THE FACE. Most Serious Battle Fighting Phil Was Ever Engaged In. ONE CHANCE IN A THOUSAND. He Passed a Desperate Saturday Night ‘When Any Breath Might Prove His Last—Dropsical Symp- toms the Worst. General Sheridan’s Condition. WasHINGTON Bureau Tie Omana Bre, 513 FOURTEENTH STREET, Wasnisgron, D. C.. May 27. The doctors say that General Sheridan is a model patient—docile, obedient, scrupulous, do as they tell him, courageous, confidentand uncothplaining. A few days ago he was dif- ferent. He has beeome used to the sensa- tions about his heart and refuses to believe that the attacks were seriou He insisted upon having the newspapers and his mail and wanted to see everybody who called, al- though the doctors told him that anything which quickened his pulse must be avoided. But now he realizes fully his desperate situ- ation and 18 fighting against death in the sick chamber with the same nerve he showed on the field of battle. SIE TOLD HIM IE MIGHT NOT LIVE. It was Mrs, Sheridan who told him of the peril in which he lies, The other night (Fri- day), when he had the second serious attack, the physicians had a consultation and decided that it was not only proper, but necessary, for Mrs. Sheridan to know exactly how the case stood, and in the presence of Surgeon General Moore, Dr. O'Reilly told her that another such attack as the general had just recovered from would in all probability prove fatal. She is a soldier’s daughter, and she is a soldier’s wife, and all her lifetime has been accustomed to the casualties and fatalities of military service. She turned very pale and caught hold of a chair to steady herself, thanked the doctors for their frankness, and said that she wished to be kept informed of any changes that might take place in the general’s condition. It only an instant that she flinched and since then she has been as much herself as she ever was, spending most of her time at the sick man’s bedside, and only retiring for rest when the physi- cians have commanded it. WIAT THE GENERAL SAYS. ‘When she told him, how she said it, and the reply he made none but the two know, but both of them have alluded to it in conver- sation with the doctors, and the general him- self told them in a characteristic way that as he and Mrs, Sheridan were most interested in the result of his illness they must be in- formed of every change for the better or for the worse. Thercfore the general is able to give his physicians much more assistance than he did formerly, and watches his own symptoms with the greatest attention. He has expressed no fear of death. He has ut- tered no remark to indicate whether he ex- pected to live or die, but occasionally something which ind! es that he is ing every atom of his might himself if possible. And he always we are getting on first rate this morning,” or “I think we won't have any more of those attacks.” When the suncame up Sun- day morning Dr. Yurrow was lying on a . He arose, yawn a walking to the general's ““Well, how dos find you#” ‘“‘We're firs dan, “There y puin nor any dis fort, and that’s a blessing, and now w got to do our best and keep up our spivits and make the biggest fight we can.” KEEPING VERY QUIET. To-day he has not usked for his news- apers v would not be given him if he had, nor has he d for his letters as he did yesterd The doctors told him that it was better not to read or talk, and 80 he lain almost silently all day with A Sheridan his side, a silent “sister of charity moving about the room when anything is required, ana an army surgeon not more thana yard aw: ‘When the turns come on the general can feel them and always speaks. someti y with a however, and the doctor sprir for alis and hypodermi The digitalis is dissolved in brand one injection docs not another follows immediately saved his life by o . day, just as Dr. O'RRei when the attack came that two of the physicians were in the room —Drs.

In the meantime the general sat i his chair hour after lour, gasping, and with the perspiration rollin down his face. His heart refused to pei form its duty till it was forced to, and never was reluctant before. Occasionally he would speak, making a suggestion or addressing @ remark to his wife, whom he tried to jade to go to bed. He thanked the doctors and nurse for e ¢ little attention, and when he felt better hie always announced the fuct in a manuer that gave them as well as himself encouragement. At any moment during the ten hours he might have drawn his last breath without the slightest surprise to the doctors, und from remarks thatl made it was apparent that hoe knew he w looking death in the face, at 3 o'clock hu dropped into steop, his pulse went down, his breath came and he lay upon his right side as comfortublo us he ever did. He slept just an bour, and awaken ing at 4 o'clock, nsked for food for the first time since the attack of 5 o'clock the evening previous. A little millkk was given him, which bie drank with relish, and then dozed off again, From the nap be at once began to improve, and has .béen gaining strength all day, taking nourishment at regu lur intervals, talking cheerfully with Mrs, Sheridan and the doctors who lave becn with him, and recelved a briof visit frow the children durm;.' the afternoc THE WORST SV N1 The worst symptom is the dr dition of the legs, and it not only does unot subside, but continues to increase rapidly is ubout twice as bad tonight us it w urday morning, and professional men will understand the genuiseness of that, In fact, there are no encouraging symptoms. The general is growing very much weaker. Byery attacik he has is more ‘severe than the last, and requires longer to rally from. His pulse does not go down, aud his piration is ex- tremely labored, ' There is only one chance in a thousand for his recovery —hardly that, but he und his surgeo ¢ valiautly fight iug for that one chance. THE DEMOCKATIC CAUCUS, The result of the democratic cuucus was very demoralizing. It was developed that nearly overy man on the democratic side wanted sowe kind of an amenduent made to the tariff bill, and will not be satisfied unless it is ndopted.’ The caucus nccepted a great weny smendments which will be added wo the bill, but others came i so thick aud fast that an adjournmeunt taken in order to pe the entire destruction of the which the committee on ways wud weuus Bave so carefully prepared. NELSON SUMPIISES THE REFUNLICANS. The republican caucus was ratLor more barmonious aud surprise was cavsed by the speech wade by Mr. Knute Neison of Min- Dnesota, in which he advises the preparation of another bLil! by the republicans. 1t has | been understood that Mr. Nelson would sup- puuw- Mhlluomnn‘wh.x., through M thick and thin, and this announcement makes the republicans jubilant. It is be- lieved that Mr. Nelson’s action will carry Mr. Linde with him in support of the meas- ure, which will leave Mr. “‘llr‘h of New York, the’ only republican on the other side of the ine. A SIGNIFICANT OTSERVATION. Mr. Joe Manley, of Augusta, Me., has said it. He arrived in Washington last night, and makes no secret of the fact that he has come to consult other friends of Mr. Blaino with refercnce to a new boom. He says that Mr. Blaine has done all that can be expected of him 1n writing a letter declining a nomina- tion, and that if the convention desires him 10 accept and make the campaign he will do 0. “It's out of the power of Mr. Blaine," said Mr. Manley, “to withdraw his name from the contest, and T have information that he will remain passive, whatever is done.” Peuny S, HEATIL Congressional Forecast. WasniNaroy, May 27.—The bills for the admission of North Dakota, Montana and Washington territories are the special orders on the scnate calendar for the coming week The Indian appropriation bill will probably be called up Monday or Tuesday and will consume a day or more; and the river and harbor bill, which will be reported to-mor- TOW, ma) be called before the end of the weck. The fisheries treaty remains a matter of dominant interest in the senate and prom- ises to displace special orders and all other business except appropriation bills, until it is acted upon. The course of events, however, depends largely upon the action of the demo- crats in the caucus to be held to-morrow morning. They have the power to delay action indefinitely upon the motion to col sider the treaty with open doors, which is the pending question, but actual fillibuster- ing, though so long threatened, has not yet begun, There are other matiers of exccu- tive business of great importance before the senate orfits committees, in respect to which the democrats desire early action. Among them is the nomination of Fuller, to be chief justice, and all these must probably be de- layed us a consequence of any dilatory move- ments in connection with the motion to take up the treaty. The house to-morrow will probably continue consideration of the legislative executive and judicial appropriationobills, The tariff bill will then be taken up for consideration, de- bate under the five-minute rule being in order. The republicans will doubtless pur- sue the caucus policy of opposing every para- graph of the bill by offering amendments and demanding votes upon them, o that the end of the week is not likely to show any ma- !;‘rlel lll!rnl{rvsfl toward the final disposition of the bill, The Democratic Cancus.

RESEMBLED A HUGE CART WHEEL. Bridges Swept away, Cattle Drowned and Five Miles of Track Inun- dated —~Pine Ridge Indians Peacefnl—State News. Fell Like a Flood. CnanroN, Neb.,, May 27.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Ber.]—There was a water spout broke in northwestern Dawes county last night at 6 o'clock doing considerable damage. Flive milés of track 18 submerged on the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad, and a number of bridges washed out. There has been no train from the north or west for twenty-four hours and it is hard to say when there wil be one It has rained hard since 4 o'clock last night without stopping and the counry is flooded. Farmers all along the White and Lone Tree rivers have had to abandon their houses and a number have been washed away. White river raised sixteen feet in forly minutes. The water came down almost in a solid wall, It is impossible to cross White river asall the highway bridges are washed out and it is feared great damage has been done further northwest, as_the waterspout came from the northwest. One man, a farmer named Ca tain A. J. Sweet, lost sixteen head of cattle and five head of horses, the water coming in such a wall that it carried the live stock along with it. Mr. Sweet came across the river in a boat, and re- orts that terrible damage has een done to other farmers, both in loss of live stock and crops. The rivers are still rising and it is raining hard. No loss of life has as yet been reported but it is feared that after a full report can be ob- tained, there will be. The cloud was plainly visible from here and it had the appearauce of a rolling mass of black cloud revolving like a cart wheel or log, entirely different from a cyclone cloud. A man by the name of Anderson was in the extreme southern limit of the spout and he reports the water coming in a solid wall ten feet deep, carrying every- thing possible before it. Anderson barely escaped with his life. This particular sec- tiou is noted for water spouts, this bemng the third one. The last one was three years ago and carried the entire railroad camp away, which was then building the Fremont, Elk: horn & Missouri Valley road. Lightning’s Funny Freak. Meap, Neb, May 27.—[Special to T Brr.] —During the rain storm here this aft- crnoon the eclements indulged in a pecular freak. The meat mavket of Anderson & Carlson was struck by lightning, coming in at the front of the building and going out through a back window, from whence it passed into the barn in the rear of the lot, quite a distance_away, which it riddled con- siderably, and_instantly killed a fine black stallion belonging to Lars Anderson. Quite W number of persons were in the meat mar- ket when the lightning struck it and all were badly shocked. Heavy Rain at Johustown. Jonxstows, Neb., May 27.— [Special Tele- gram to Tug Bre]—It has rained very hard here in the last two or three days, the ground is thoroughly soaked and old settlers say it is wetter than they have_ever scen it before, Several families living in sod houses have had to abandon their homes and seek dryer and safer shelter. It is still raining, with no prospects of its stopping soon. The Storm av Tilder. TiLveN, Neb., May 27.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.]—The heaviest rain for fifteen years has swollen the Elkhorn and flooded the country like a cloud burst. Roads and bridge: e badly damaged and about half a mile of railroad track and bridge is washed out bet n here and Battle Creek. The passenzer cast backed to Oakdale and took the Albion branch to Scribuner. It is still raming with a strong northeast wind. Killed By Lightning. Corvmnus, Neb, May 27.—[Speeial Tele gram to Tue Bee.]—Lightning struck a barn belonging to Charley Hote, in the cast ern part of the city, during the severe storm last evening, burning the barn and killing a cow. The inmates of the house adjomning were prostrated by the shock. 1tems From Ogallala, OaArraLs, Neb., May 26.—[Correspond- ence of Tug Bee]—The sheriff to-day took possession of the furniture store of L. Worthington on several injunctions placed in his hands by creditors. The State Loan and Trust company of this place have also commenced proceedings on a foreclosure of a chattel mortgage of $1,4%0. Several Omaha jobbers a few days ago ran attachments on the stock of goods formerly owned by N. H. Wood & Co., and by them sold to the Keith County bank. In three cases tried yesterday in which the right to_the posses- sion of property was involved, the jury rendered a verdiet in favor of the bank and the court rendered judgment for a return of the property and for costs sgamst the at- taching creditors, The prospect for an abundant crop of all kinds were never better in any country.

Davin City, Neb., May 26.—[Correspond- ence of Tur Bee. |—The city council of David City, at their meeting on the 24th inst., changed the boundary line of the First ward s0 as to take in the half block upon which was situated the new hotel property of the David City Improvement association, which heretofore was in the Second ward. The First wi being under the control of a ma- jority for licensing saloons, and the Second ward having @ decided majority against it, made it impossible to establish a saloon on the premises.

CrAbno, Neb., May 97.—[Special Telogram to Tue Bee.]—There has been serious appre- hensions of an Indian outbreak among set- tlers along and near Pine Ridge agency. The reason of this is a supposed resolution passed at the pow wow recently reported by Tur Bee tothe effect that the Indians, rather than give up the land, wonld fight. To give more weight to this, numerous squaw men have made it their business to circulate these reports, with a view of scaring settlers and helping their cause. A few settlers, number- ing about forty, to-day moved into Oelrichs, asmall town in southern Dakota, and then sent men to Pine Ridge to ascertain the truth of this and they returned with the assurance that there was nothing in it. It was a con- cocted scheme by interested squaw men, iy Loup Oity Republicans.

HELENA, Mont.,, May 27.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—Under-Sherifft Thomas Farrell, of Jackson county, Wyoming, who was recently in Montana with a requisition for Charley Brown, charged by the Wyom- ing authorities with larceny, makes a state- ment which contains some severe strictures upon Governor Leslie, of Montana. The latter is charged with using his official in- fluence and knowledge to prevent the cap- ture of that notorious prisoner tvanted by the authorities of Wyoming. Farrell also as- serts that the governmor sought to shield Brown because of the fact that his son was acting as attorney in the requisition case. Farrell claims that for some reason the gov- ernor seemed disinclined to honor hisrequisi- tion papers, and kept him waiting in Helena for more than a month. Three requisi- tions were sent for by the sheriff before the governor would honor the papers. ‘When finally honored Farrell started for his man,who was at Great Falls. Arriving at Sun River Crossing, where Brown’s headquarters were, he found that the game had flown. Farrell says that when Brown was first ar- rested he hired as his counsel the son of Gov- ernor Leslie.So confident was the latter of win- ning his case that he made a bargain with Brown that if he cleared him he was to re- ceive §100; otherwisenot .a cent would be charged. Farrell glso asserts that Attorney Leslie made his boast that the requisition papers would not be issued by the governor. At Sun River Farrell says he discovered that 2 telephone message had arrived four hours ahead of him, dated Helena, addressed to Devine, which stated that ‘‘the warrant had been issued,” and signed “L.” This put Brown on his guard, and he rode away. Far- rell alleges that the telegram was sent by Governor Leslic himself. Gov- ernor Leslic says that Brown did have a civil suit some tiine ago in Cascade county, and the governor's son was his luwyer in that case and that the governor knew it, but he never heard until yesters that his son had anything to do w 1ll| the defe or the management of Brown’s case, on account of which the warrant was issued upon requi: tion. The papers accompanying the first two requisitions were not suficient under the law to justify the governor in issuing the war- rant for the arrest and transportation asked for, and hence the refusal complained of. It is not true, the governor says, that he tele- graphed Devine at Sun River, or anywhere nor did he telegraph any one, or write to any one, with a view in any way to inter- fere with the arrest of Brown, e, WISCONSIN'S RUTCHERY. A Horror Not Surpassed in the Record of Crimes. Viroqua, Wis., May 27.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Bee.]—Further particulars of the quadruplex murder in Vernon county serve but to increase its horrors. It is now known that the motive was to secure $1,400 which Mrs, Drake was to receive from an estate in Pennsylvania, .and which, it was commonly reported, had already passed into her hanas. Reuben Drake was probably the most prosperous farmer in the neighborhood, but he lived in a small house of three rooms —sitting room, bed-room and kitchen.” The old people were living alone, but the two grandchildren from an adjoining county had come that day to visit them. Witnesses first on the scene describe it as a veritable slaughter pen. The body of Mrs. Drake lay near the door with a- bullet hole through cach breast. She had evidently gone to the door to open it in response to a knock and been shot from the threshold. Her husband lay in the center of the room on his face, with one bullet hole through the vight eye and brain and_another through the body near the breast. In the bedroom was a wost fearful sight. On one_bed lay the two children. The girl lay in front on one side as if slecping. ‘The Lead was uearly severed from the body by one powerful knife stroke “The boy had struggled all over the bed. His throat was partially tut and his heart pene. trated by a terriblé lmife stab. Blood was spattered all over the room, on the floor, walls and bedd Bullets show tue weapon was a #2-calibre revolver and the knife tells its own story. 1t is the universal opinion that the decd was done by some one in the neighborhood who was acquainted with the circumstances of the family.

General de Charette Addreesses the COorporation of Armorers. THE WRATH OF THE ROYALISTS, Boulanger and Republicanism Both Denounced and the Saviour of France Declared to Be a King. Vive le Rol. | Copuright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.) Panis, May 27.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tre Ber.]—The smouldering ‘wrath with which the old-fashioned royalists regard the policy of the monarchist deputies who have been courting with Boulangism lately, found vent to-day in a stirring speech delivered at the Arc St. Eticnne by General de Charette, speaking to the corporation of armorers, who are about to present a rifie to the young Duoe d'Orleans, the zouave hero. Said the gentleman: “I will not make a speech. Iwill becontent with a familiar talk, going straight to the point and telling you what I, a soldier, take to be the truth about our affairs. All ideals seem in confusion at present; all ideas of morality. right and justice. We have waited long but now or never is the time to act. In his three manifestos or declarations the Comte de Paris has shown us with all the dignity of his royal word, the dangers of the situation, the means of escaping them and the marvellous programme of mon- archy, I will not impeach the republic it will do so itself. The republic is nothing but a party cut to pieces, incapable of ever reuniting. The anguished country sees itself surrounded by moral dis- order and national peril. It demands asa- vior. How sirange is the sight we witness. ‘We see politiclans uniting under pretense of public concentration yet excluding an important faction of the republi- can party. These take thewr stand on a programme which cannot but be the start- ing point of social disorganization and civil war. “‘On the other side we find the individual at the head of another portion of the republi- can party striving to force himself on the nation as the representative of authority. Nothing justifies his claim—least of all some of his recent acts. He poses as the enemy of the parliamentary system yet he solicits the suftrages of France to get access to the very parliament which he accuses of inca- pacity and impotence. He takes his stand on the revision already demanded by the royalists. What constitution does he offer? None. All is mystery. He is the logical, unconscious outcome of the revolutionary spirit. He is a negation. Yesterday he was a soldier who had won his spurs. What is he now and what will he become to-morrow? But let the republicans fight their own quarrels. As for monarchy it holds its own against all enemies, aye, and despite even friends as imprudent as your humble serv- ant, because 1t rests on honesty, liberty, authority. Because the scandals of yester- «day bid me fear the scandalsof to-morrow; because it will give us the right to educate our children as we please; be- cause I wish a strong defender for our social and political liberties; because I wish fruittul allies for our country and because to realize all these good objects I desire author- ity. Monarchic right is the result of accord between king and people. 'We must confirm the ancient fuct which sealed the union. The monarchy has lost none of its rights. It has only lost wpossession of them. This possession must be recovered by an act which will be a legal, not a created right. This is the distinction between ourselves and the plebiscitary party. I am not in favor of the theory of the abyss, nordo I approve of choosing the greater evil that good may come. 1 do not believe France is lost. Far from it. Thold she has never been nearer her political and moral resurrection, for never yet has she so felt the need of honesty and authority and say of her what men will she is still Catholic. And now I will end where perhaps I should begin. You my friends are of that noble Corporation of Armorers which at all times has virtually formed a part of the national army. Was it not you armed the knights of old and now furnish weapons to our soldiers for the de- fense of the fatherland? These are noble titles indeed. You have been faithful to your traditions. Iam one of those who have deprived tyemselves of sleep to help the exe- cution of the magnificent work of art des- tined for the dauphin of France. I have the high honor of knowing the young prince. Sad indeed is it for a child of France that he must be compelled to learn the trade of arms in a foreign land, but the child of France must before all else be a soldier, You are to offer him this splendid weapon. I claim the honor of presenting you to the king. That .will be my reward aft this glorious day, and now I us boldly raise our banner. Let us pass from words to deeds.

[Copyright 1586 by James Gordon Bennet.) LoxvoN, May 27.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.|—The Field to- day contains a long editorial onthe New York yacht club course, which says. It is an attribute of human nature for man to love his offspring, but this phenomenal infatua- tion of the New York yacht club for a erude piece of attorney’s work which gocs by the name of & new deed of gift, exceeds philo- progenitive instincts, Seriously, we do not see how any club with proper sense or self respect could accept the extraordinary pro posal. The committee may be right or wrong in their contention that the new con- ditions are fair and sportsmanlike, aud they no doubt aresincere in asking a foreign club to adopt them in case of winning the cup, but how could & club which bas condemuned these conditions in the most uncompromising manner, covenant to adopt them after win- ping the cup under rules which it declures mwuch less onerous. Possibly the comumitiee of the New York ciub did not realize that thear proposition suggests bu:dnu cupidity The L« | | | 1 on the part of the challengers. It is natural that the committee should desire to show they honestly believe in the fairness of the new conditions, but thoy have adopted a very awkward method of domng it. Afterall we do not see how a club could bo bound by any such agreement as 18 proposed, and in fact, s we have many times contended wo believo that the club will ultimately have to revert to the conditions of the original deed of gift, which is the only legal instrument attached to the cup. But tho time has arrived when we shall have to consider the conditions un- der which center boards may be admitted nto our yachts. The case is settled so far a8 the clubs are concerned, and wo may say yachtsmen generally. As the clubs which polled their members found the feeling strongly in favor of admitting the board, there can be no.gnoring the fact that good judges think there ought to be some safe guard against any tampering with the depth or displacement of centre boards. We foreshadowed the method of doing this some months ago, based on one of the rules used in Francs for appropriating the register tonnage and width, and we do not allude to the mrth rule. How this safeguard can be employed without unduly hampering design- ers, we hayve not yet had time to work out, but we are still of theopinion that a safeguard of some kind should be provided. Beyond this there is the suggestion of Messrs, Wat- son and Fife, that provision should be made against weighing centre boards. As wesaid some time since this will be a dificult matter to handle. For instance, in small vessels iron plate is the best thing to have, and so it might be in large vessels if means could be provided for working it and no difficulty should arise in drawing the line at the size of craft which may have iron plate and which may not. There is no doubt that so far as the loss in the construction goes, a stronger job could be made if the drop plate were in two parts and if the trunk did not extend above the cabin floor. However these are matters for naval architects to deal with when they design vessels with center plates. We mentioned the girth rule just now, and that reminds us that the rule has produced one very successful Mersey open sailing boat with more than a foot counter in her keel— that is the clevation of her keel is something like that of the Bombay boat. We probably do not yet know to what extent this lacing in girth can be carried, and we may very likely ere long see the Mersey boat drawn in like a fashionable waist until it pretty nearly di- vides its form in halves. Irish Meetings Yesterdap Duniiy, May 27.—[Special Cablegram to Tue Bee.]—John Dillon, speaking at Vildare to-day denounced the bishops who support the papal rescript regarding Iveland. He said the nationalist party was not afraid of any bishop’s threats, nor of any mandate from the vatican, and it was not going to abandon the plan of campaign or boycotting, with which weapons it had fought the battle until now. Mr. Healy, in a specch at Waterford, twitted the pope with making his own plan of campaign when the Sardimans grabbed his territory and with boycotting Victor Emanuel. Mr. William O'Brien addressed a large meeting at Limerick. He ut- tered bitter invectives against Bishop O'Dwyer, saying the threats contamed in the bishop's manifesto with ref- crence to the rescript were the rashest and most unjust ever made. The bishop, O'Brien said, left Limerick yesterday after supplying copies of his manifesto to every orangenew: paper, and he did not send a copy to tne mayor, to whom the manifesto v nominally addressed, and who dis- covered it in the journals, Mr O'Brien declared that there never was anything falser than Bishop O'Dwyes sertion that the nationalists were agitating against the pope. The audience, which was v excited, uttered groans for Bishop O'Dwyer, A dozen other Parnellites spoke at places. va About 20,000 persons attended the Limerick meeting. The better class of the citizens and most of the local clergymen were absent. ous London Press on the Rese [Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxpoN, May 8—[New York Her Cable—Special to Tuz Ben]—The D News devotes a whole column to a pretty full report of the Esmonde meeting, and di t.

While n will not make conformity necd ilt, it will not modify the decree in the least or release the bishops from their obligations, and, indeed, in high quarte displeasure has been expressed thut they had not before published the de cree. In high instical circles it is felt that the bishops committed a serious error in neglecting to publish it be- fore the politicians had taken it up. bisnop Walsh has expressed his deto tion to endeavor to stop meetings on the jeet and bring about submission and tran- quility. So there is high authority for say ing that in the two matters pronounced aguinst the vatican will be inflexible, A Wel [Copyright 15 BerLiy, Ma —Special to Tne Bee]—The Henckelvea Donnersmarck gave o'clock yesterduy morning to a great, strapp ng male child, The count is in an ecstacy of delight, for although fifty-cight years old and twice married, this is his debutas u father, This is at lust the long hoped for heir to his vast property in France and Silesia, which would otherwise revert to a distant branch of the fawily.

Drs Moixgs, Ia., May 27.— [Special to Tns Brg.]—The iron-clad pharmacy law 18 hav- ing the effect, which perhaps its authors did not intend, of driving reputable druggists out of the business of selling liquors at all. Its provisions are so stringent, and its responsi- bilities so great, that druggists who want to respect the law feel that they cannot afford toncur the risk of selling liquor for the slight profit to be made, Petitions have been circulated in this city, obtaining the signa- tures of nearly all the reputable druggists, declaring that they will not take out new permits when their old ones have expired. Under the iron-clad provisions of this law druggists are exposed to great risks through the unintentional neglis gence of a clerk or other employe, they are put to great inconvenience in secur~ ing permits, and are put under heavy bonds to obey the law. They feel that it is too much of a burden for the little profit there may be in the business, and in so many places throughout the state they are refusing to take out any permits whatever and declare that as soon us the present ones expire they will not sell liquor for any purpose what ever. There is a historic case now on trial in the Qistrict court at Waterloo. It 48 known as the great Towa calf case. It was commenced in 1874 and has been in the courts ever since, with no prospects of an immediate settlement. now before it. It has been tried once in Ben- ton county, once m Vinton county, twice in Black Hawlk county, where it is “now pend- for the fifth trial. It has been two or three times in the supreme court, and has banks rupted the parties who or izinally commenced the suit and were then wealthy farmers, The whole amount in controversy in the be- ginning was but a_few dollars, but the stub- borness of the litigants, and the bitter feels ing that has been aroused, has kept the case in~ court and made it one of the celebrated cases in litigation. JTowa emigrauts to California are coming home with their feathers drooping and with a general disappointed expression on their fuces, During the last year or two a great many Towa people were taken with the Cali- fornia fever and sold their property in this state, expecting to make fabulous Tortunes in the west. But they have found the boom greatly exaggerated and discovered that they been making fools of themselves, and s fast us they were able a great many of them have been coming back to Iowa, Weelk before last eighty-nine persons who had gonc from West Branch, in Cedar county, re- turned in abody.

They surrendered all the interests and rights which an expand- ing city and citizens yet to come might have for thirty years.
