Doud’s injunction to restrain the city from paying the bill amounting to nearly $7,000 to the King Bridge and Iron company of Cleve- land, O., on the Q street viaduct alieges a unumber of things. Among them are fraud on the pari of the.city council in advertising for bids and awarding the contract on the sawe, and by inference, a conspiracy between the representatives of the bridee compuny and city officials; a fraud on and robbery of taxpayers because the change in the viaduct made the cost lcss rather than m@re than the price of the structure accoraing to the orig- inal plans; propriation ofticials purpose paying and a violation of law and a misap- of funds because the have con- tracted to spay the bridge company more money thanwas noted by the people for that purpose, and also charges of gross irregus larities and misdoings and direct violations of the law aud the sworn duty of the mayor and the members of the city council. A restraining order wus issuea by Judge Clarkson returnable Saturday morming, the 18th at 10 o'clock, _ On the other hand it is charged that Mr. Doud has takom this course to cowapel the Iiuog bridge company to pay for certain work done for sub-contractors on their viaduct contract, which claims Mr. Doud holds for collection. Mr. Doud admitted having a batch of small claims but said positively that the payment of them would not be an in- ducemeunt to abandon the injunction proceeding “But regarding these claims,” continued Mr, Doud, “‘thoy are for work on the viaduct structure and approaches which the King Bridge company are ulti- mately liable for und before thuse proceed- ings were commenced 1 proposed to adjust them either by an amicable arbitration or amicable suits entered here but the company declined saying that its bond to the city was sufficiont. = As beuween the clty and the bridge comvany that is true but it in vo way protects the laborers on the visduct nor gives them the berelit of their leins. ‘To have prosecuted these littlo suits as that company insisted I should, would have cost more thun they were worth.” s 2l THE HEIGHT OF SEA WAVES, Measurements Sunow an Elevation of Forty Feet From Base to Crest. The height of sea waves has long been the subject of controversy. Eminent hydrographers have insisted that storm waves were usually not more than ten feet high, and rarely over twenty when the conditions of the sea were most favorable for wave development, Many a traveler, reclining cn a cabin transom, has looked up through the skylight to see the waves rearing tieir frosty crests, and wondered how even a twenty-footer conld show so high above u great ship’s deck. Many a sailor dowsed by an up-driving wave while lying out on atop-gallant yard haus, doubtless, shaken his head incredu- lously when told that the bighest waves were not above tweuty teet, the resy being **heel” of ship and dip of yard. Now, however, comes exvert tosti- mony to prove that storm waves are often forty feet and sometimes from sixty to seventy feet in height. In the recent British scientific expedition some instructive data were gathered by a sensitive sneroid barometer eapable of recording its extreme rise and fall by an automatic rogister “With a sea not subjected to an at- mosphhere of unusual violedee, it indi- cated an elevation of (ul'l'v feet from the wave’s base to the crest.” Admiral Fitzroy, after a long ser of careful measuroments from the main- top of his ship, came to & similur cou- clusion, CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS A Bill Providing For Free Trade With Mexico.

WasHINGTON, Jan, 17.—In the house to- day Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio introduced a bill granting pensions to ex-soldiers and sailors incapacitated for the performance of manual lavor. Referred, Mr. Mills of Texas introduced a bill to extend the trade and commerce of the United States and to provide for full reoi- procity m the United States and Mex- ico. eferred. Mr. McKinley called up his motion to table the motion toreconsider the vote by which the house yesterday refused to substitute the resolutions reported by the committee on rules (as amended by the adoption of the Caunon resolution) for the original resolu- tion referred to the committee, The motion to tablo the motion to reconsider was agroed to—yeas 144, nays 142, The question then recurred to the adoption of the original resolution, as follows: Resolved, That a select committes of nive members, to be called the “worlds’ fair committée,’ shall be appointed to which shall be referred all matters relat- ing to the proposed celebration of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of Amerioa or the world’s fair of 1802, The resolution was adopted—yeas 141, nays 135—Springer of Illiuois changwng his vote from the negative to the aficmative in order to enter u motjon to roconsider, Mr. Springer said ho only desired that the committeo should be instructed tw report next week to the house tue plan by which the location might be seloctea. As it now stood, the committee would be authorized to select the location. He withdrew his motion to reconsider, stating that he would trust to the fairness of the committee and of tho house. Mr. Flower of New York introduced the New York world’s fair bill, and it will be reforred to » special committee when ap- pointed. Mr. Raines of New York oftered a resolu- tion increasing the membership of that com- mitteo from niue to thirteen. Keferred to the comumittee on rules. ‘The house then went into committee of the whole ona bill to provide for town site entries in Oklahoma. The . tirst section of the bill authorizes the secretary of the in- terior to appomt three commissioners for each portion of the public lands settled upon and occupicd 48 a town site (no more thun two of them shall be members of the same political organization), whose duty it shall be whenevor called ou by any of the occubants of such town sites, and the money for en- trance of such town site is furnished, to euter at the proper land office, at the min- imum price, the land so settled and ocoups not oxceeding one-half of a section for each town site, in trust for the several use and benefit of the occupauts thereof according to their respective iverests. Mr. Baker of New York offered an amend- ment providiug for the appointment. instead of an indefinite number of commissions, of four boards to consist of three commissioners each, three boards for the eastern aund one tor the western land distriots. Mr. Perkins believed that at least five boards should be provided for. Mr. Pickler of South Dakota doubted whether five boards would be enough, Mr. Payson of Illinois, while he was n favor of naving the question settled, said the people in the towns of Oklahoma had come to some sort of agreement which greatly reduce the work of the commi ers. While he wouid err on the side of wenerosity, he did not think that the house should be prodigal. H Mr. Holman of Indiana offered a substi- tute for the first section devolving upon the local land ofticers, under the rules and regu- lations prescribed by the secretary of the in- terior, duties proposed to be performed by the commissioners, Mr. Barker modified the amendment 8o as to provide for the appointment of nov more than five boards to consist of three commis- sioners each, aod as modified it was agreed 0. Mr. Holland's substitute was rojected. The second sectioa of the bill authorizes the commissioners to do whatever may_be necessary to execute in good faith and jus- tice the provision of this act. Section three authorizes the secretary of the interior to prescribe rules and regulationsto govern the commissioners and to make it the duty of the oymmissioners to determine all contro- 7 ng between claimants, Mr. Culbertson named an amendment providing that the claim or any persou for apy town site or lot shall be deemed invalid if such person entered the torritory or took possession of the town site or ot in aavance of the date fixed by the president’s procla- mation. Mr. Tarsney offerod as asubstituto for this amendment an amendment providing that when it shall be shown by satisfactory cvidenco that the claimant was at uoon on the 224 of April, 188), a United States marshal, deputy marshal, or United States officer or ueent, or was prior to that date in Oklahioma, representing himself as such ofticer, or if it s shown that tho clammant entered the territory ln violaton of the prosident’s proclamation, such claimaut shail not have the right to prove up or pur- chase any town site or lot, Pending action the committee rose and the house adjourned until 1 o'clock tomorrow. enabling the members to attond the funeral of Walker Blaive, One of the Rerated. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan, Commissioner of Pensions Raum has sent a letter to Secre- tary Noble requesting the removal from dMice of Henry A. Phillips of New York, chief of the middle division of the pension bureau, on the ground that the efficiency of the bureau would be promoted thereby. On April 23 last, during Corporal Tauner's ad- ministration, Phillips’ pension was rerated and incroasod, Kor this reason Secretary Noble some weeks later asked him to re- sign. This, however, he declined to do, and no further action has sincedeen taken until today, owing, it is said, to the pressure brought to bear in Phillips’ bebalf by mem- bers of congress and others. It is believed Phillips' dismissal will be TWO ATAL CHARGES.

The shooting toék place on the farm of Hugh Doberty, adgbiing that of Dillon's. Frampton was several foot behind Dillon and watching the latter's dog, which he thought had ‘Stirted some rabbits. He heard two' shots in rapid succossion, and ., turning around in the direction of Dillon saw that the latter was bending forward as if in pain, He ran to hit and Dillon asked him to loosen the belaround his waist, (rom Which o couple of rabbits were suspendea. Frampton did as was requested, and then ran to Doherty’s house to get a wagon to carry the wounded man home. Doherty accompanied Frampton and the body was found At the bottom ~ of & small ravine, the victim having staggered about fifteon feet after Frampton had left him and fallen down the embankment. Dillon's gun was found at the ridge of tho bank partially buried in the snow. Dillou was placed m tie vehicle, Liis way to his home, died. Last night Coroner Horrigan held an in- uest, and the verdict returned was of accl ental death from shooting. There are fome doubts entertained that this was really the manner in which Dilion mot his fate, ‘The contents of both shells of his double barreled gun entered the breast immediately abovo the heart, making o most ghastly wound. aad on i i b AN OREGON CAVE. Another Rival of Kentucky's Wonder —Driven Out by Bats. The following is an account of the discovery of a wonderful cave in Doug- las county, about four miles from the farm of M. C. Ruckles, on the line of the Southern Pacific railroad, and is told as nearly as possible in the lan- guage of one of the discoverers, says the Roseburg (Ore.) Plaindealer. *‘A few days ago, while out hunting, one of vur dogs scented a track and followed it to what looked like a coyote den. The dog went in and remained quite a while. Thinking he might have been killed by some wild aunimal in the cave we went up to the hole and while looking around the mouth of the cave heard the dog barking vigorously in what sounded like a large chamber or room in the mountain. We at length called the dog out, but he 1mmediately started back and again began to bark. Being of an exploring turn of mind, we ventured 1n, crawling through the aper- ture, which was hardly large enough to admit the body of a human being. What was our surprise, after proceding about twenty feet, to find thut we were in a large room. It being very dark, we lit what matches we had, and could then see that the room ivas decorated with numerous large crystals hanging from the roof, which, from the reflection of the light, looked like a mass of dia- monds. While taking in all this splen- dor in silent admiration, we could hear the sound of runiing water, but not having anything 'at hand to ex- plore farther, wo crawled back to daylight and went home, Provided with lanterns, we returned next day and proceeded 1o investigate. After leaving the 'first room we went through a narrow passageway which led to alarge body ‘of water, which ap- peared to come through the top of the cave and fall into .another cave below. Taking up a stone which lay near by we threw ° 1t down the passageway where the water wds' falling, and when it reached the dépth of about 25 or-80 feet it struck afininat what appeared to be the side of the cave, making a noise like the report of a caonon. When on the verge of retracting our steps we saw a small hole in the face of the cave, which on cloger inspection, proved to be a continuation of the passage. way. We were now in, and ventured on. After proceeding for about fifty feet we came to some stone steps. After reaching the top of the steps we were in what appeared to be a sacred hall, for on the walls we could discern hiero- gliphics of the sun, and also people who all appeared to be traveling in one direction. Some were on foot, while others were mounted on what looked like camels. Right under the sun was a book which lay as it open, and, hardly discernable, were some characters or writings of some extinct race. Near these there were twelve persons in a group, while a little way in the lead was another per- son, who, from the position of his ex- tended arms, looked as if he was urging them on. After looking around we were led to believe that the people who inhabited this cave at some past age were sun-worshipers. On the floor was some pottery, also some speurs and darts. They looked as if the wood work had been destroyed by age. Aswo were starting on in search of further knowl- edge we were all at once surrounded by bats, who made it so unpleasant for us that we were forced to beat a hasty re- treat and leave all further reseurches to a future day. L Playing it on the Police. The night was cold and dreary, says the Minneapolis Tribune, and no one was about the streets except policemen and police reporters, with occusionally aman who had been out atténding lodge. At the central police station all was quiet. Inside was Lieutenant Tom Coskran, who was talking in a low tone to Officer Tom Garvin, who had just ar- rested & man for twining his armaround alamp post and then raising a disturb- aunce because his friend would not come home with him. Jailer Peter Bradley had just told a tramp to'‘go down stairs, turn to the right, take hold of the lower knob, close the door behind you soon followed by others whose pensions were rerated und that several others will be reduced in rank and pay, Awniting the Declsion. ‘WAsHINGTON, Jan, 17.—Av a special meet~ ing of the senate committes on territories today Chairman Platt was instructed to re- port recommending @ passage of bills to make the state of Wyoming and to orgauize a ternitorial form of government for Okiu- homa.

LARGEST CLEARINGS ON RECORD An Increase In tho Output ot Pig Iron-—-Anthracite Coal Frices moralized—Activity Reported From the South, The Weatnhor Affects Business, New Yonrk, Jan. 17.—[Special Telegram to —R. G. Dun & Ca’s. weekly re- view of trade says: Improvement in business is noted where- ever the recent change to colder weatber has been felt, Elsewhere unscasonablo weather is still the complainw. Outbound shipments from Clricago last week were 131,703 tons, much the largest ever known. The exports of provisions are heavy, the lard movement last week roaching 14,182,802 pounds. The clearings of banks last week were not only the largest on record for that part of the year, but showed an increase over last of 12 per cent outside of New York. The weekly output of pig iron January 1 was 38 tons, against 160,051 Decemiber 1 aud 154, 898 a year ago. Iuquiries indicate that there is in the aggregate some accumula- tion of stocks. It also appears that the market for bar iron is somewhat unsettled, with a tendency toward conoes- sions, and plate iron is less firm. Structural and sheet iron and nails are steady, Unless the cousumption of finished products 18 not only sustained but expanded, the output of pig iron can hardly continue at the present rate. The stagnation in authracite coal is aggra- vated. Prices are demoralized, and bitum inous coal, though active, is casier. Dry goods have shightly improved. ples and prints are fim and print cloths 8l¢ cents for 64s. The wool and woolen trades show distinct signs of a di- vision between the light goods and worsteds d the heavier goods of nearly all kinds. he latter are seriously depressed by the un- seasonable weathor. Bat thero is a marked revival in the trade for domestic worsteds and light gooas, believea to be due to the changes last year in tho treasury rulings, uow for the firsy time felt. The shipments of boots and shoes from Boston in 1880 were $2,300,980 cash, an increase of 4 per cent over 1888 and 50 per cent since 1! Reports from various quarters are on the whoie more favorable. Collections are quite generally slow because of the retarded distribution, but uneasiness is reported at _only a few points, ISoston notes that South 'American hides have sold at the lowest point ever reached, but leather is in fair demaud and groceries selling well. Pniladelphia observes the drug trade quaiet and tobacco fair, but numerous failures in the clothing trade and a fair hardware trade, with siow collections.

They are of unequal ficlgm, and the condors that perch on the top of them, add by their gaunt figures and dark plumage to the weird elfect of the soli- tude, On one of these huge blocks the fea- tures of a human face are cut,and the others are covered with desigus of va- rious kinds; and they all have some rveforence t0 sun-worship. The pillars were probably engraved by the oviginal natives of thé land, who are now known only by these and other relics in this quarter of Peru. They are supposed to have been a highly civilized race. It is not believed that the people brought these stones to the present position. The rocks are those called Servatic” or wandeving stones and were probably left by a glacier, e EUROPE'S FUTURE KINGS. Most of Them are Very Young, but Will Yield the Sceptr . ‘Who are to be the emperors, kings and queens of the future? Whoare the persons in the several countries who are destined, in the ordinary course of events, to sit on the thrones and to rule with lesser ater authority? It is o striking fact that many of the heirs to kiogship are young people; some, indeed, are very young. The heir appurent, for instance, of the great German empire and the Prussi kingdom is the little Prince I"rederic ‘William, who is only sevon years of age, says the Youth’s Companion.

The futur of Holland, Princess Wilbelmina, has recently completed her ninth year, and is likely to succeed her aged and de- crepit father ere long. The present king of Spain, Alfonso XIIL, is not four years old, and came to the throne at his birth, his father hav- ing died before the little king came into the world. Should he die before marrying, his cldest sister, the Infanta Dona Maria de las Mercedes, now nine years of age, would succeed to the panish throne. Some heirs to Buropean thrones have just arrived av young manhood. The Grand Duke Nicholus of Russia and the duke of Sparta in Greece, have recently celebrated the completion of their twenty-first yeur, Young Victor Em- manuel, prince of Nuples, the heir to the throne of Ilaiy, was Lwenty years old last November. Thus it appears that with the ex- ceptions of Great Britain and Austria- Hungary the heir to every European throne, throne is younger than the constitution of the United States requires a member ‘rince Otto, the heir presumptive the Austrinn throne, is only twenty-six vears old, Moreover, the succession in England belongs to the Prince of Wales, who is forty-eight yoars old. Butit is said that the Prince of Wale's health is precar- | fous, and it is not improbable that his mother, Queon Victoria, although she | is soventy years old, may outlive him. that “caso, the heir to the throno would be Albert Victor, the Prince of Wale's eldest son, who is now twenty- five yoars old. A fow years older is Gustaf, Duke of Wermland, who is their heir to the throne of Swedon and Norway, and who is thirty-one. o, of course, soveral heirs to thrones who are past middle life, but the large proportion of young peopie at this time 15 remarkable HOW WOMEN ACT IN PRISON, of congress to boy and to Queer Dovices by which They Seek to Gratufy Native Vanity, Compulsion is the woman conviet’s drop of bitterness, says the San Fran- cisco Avgonant, The complete mortifi- catton of that harmless sort of vanity which fills so much of a woman's life makes her durance doubly vile, Ail fine fenthers are sacrificed ruth- Her hair, which she has apos- authority for regarding as an ornament, is shorn of her lasy lock as soon as her cell has been allotted to heri and the face which has gazed with perfoct passiveness, almost to rouse country’s admiration, and the tonguc that has been mute under the finding of jury and sentence of judge, are raised to plead pathetically with the holder of the scissors, while the corridors some times ring again to the piercing cr for a sparing pity as the inexorable shears gather their harvest of curls.

Curious Adventure of a Pennsyl- vanian Who Was Out Driving, While driving through the Stony Creek ravine lust Saturday, says a Skinner’s Creek (Pa.) letter to the New York Sun, H. M. Hanor, who lives in the Eik Creek valley, four miles from here, had a ri kable experience. Mr. Hanor had a single horse attached to a buggy with a-canopy top, and he was alone. The horse wason a slow walk, when suddenly it shied to the right, and Mr. Hunor suw a quick moyement among the bushes to the left. What the flash-like movement was he didn’t know, he said,because his whole attention was directed to the skittish horse at the instant, and when he reined the horse back into the road he saw a long-bodied animal creeping through the copse toward the carriagze. his Bofore he had time to make up mind what kind of a beunst it was animal crouched and then sprang buggy. i 2 It landed in the roadway oppos point between the wheels, baving seem- 1ngly checked its leap on account of the canopy, the fringe I T The horse suorted and plunged ahead and the strange animal crept along and made several moves as if it meant to spring into the carriage. It constuntly eyed the fluttering top and seemed to bo afraid to make the spring, snavling a little as it keptalong side of the wagon. Seeing that the beast was bent on fol- lowing him Mr. Hanor picked up his whip and dealt it two cuts with the lash, thinking that it wouid then clear out, ‘When the lash cut it on the head the second time the animal gave vent to three ear-piercing screams, and Mr. then realized that he-was dealing with a panther. He had the hovse well under control, with the lines in his left hand, and as the panther followed and kept serenming he lashed it again, aod it darted to tho rear of the buggy and lenped to the right side, where Mr. Hanor lushed it bhalf a dozen times. Again it acted as if it would spring on him if the top wasn’t there, and fearing that it would do so before long, Mr. Hanor threw down his whip, pulled off his right mitten, unbuttonced his o coat, pulled out his six shooter and fired four times at the panther, Each bullet took effcct and the beast rolled juto the diteh ana died.

The hero of this story, Colouol S, no i has been at a hostolry here for a week or two, but at preseut is in Deland, says o Lake Helen (Flu.) letter to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Ho 1s just now the central figure of an adventure and one in which the goa of love played a very conspicuous part. Colonel S., it appears, spent most of the last winter at the C s, 4 little group of islands = north of Cubi. His hotel was built on S a perpendicular blufl overlooking the ocean, and the morning before he was to sail for Havana he was tak- ing his usual stroll alter breakfast on the beach, gazing out on the green waters, and across the neighboring island¢, when, without any warning whatever, a strong cord wound itself about his le and mevhing, which proved to be ularge kite,partly dragged and partly hifted him into the sea. 4he 1z briskly from the land. y he went over the breakers to the smoother waters beyond. ht liold of the cord with his nd with the other he kept his head above wuter, he heing a good swimmer, He about an hour going to the next island, where a large crowd awaited him with surgeons and restora- 8 v little atten- tion in rection, his only hurt being where the cord had cut throug his clothing and iuto the fleshy part of his log. The young lady who was flying the kite, with others, launched boats and put out for his rescue, but did not reach him until he had nearly reached the solid eurth. Of course the perl he had been in from her carclessness cauted her much nervous agitation, and with her sympathy there was mixed a strouger————- attachme; b least so the result boat he had ged passage in stopped for K t day, and his business at Havana being 80 pressing he was, with reluctance, obliged to leave his new made friends. Luast summer he came 1o New York, but nis legs con- tinued to trouble him and grew worse the doctors said caused by poisoning his blood with the coloring of his puants.
