Their views help much to explain the present situation. A close friend ot Par- nell’s said “All this has been comigg on for some time, Parnell was not really popular in the party, though we tried to keep up appearances, You must have noticed how overbearing he was in his manners, Then he opposed tho plan of campajgn and sncered at Dillon and chase the Tolles tract at a lib advance over the original price. A confer- ence of the “small fry’ packers with tho clkney people hns been held but no definite arrangements made. Another confer between representatives of the **big four” and the smaller packing firms has also been held, In fact, the situation is as complicated at present as it has been since the question of removal of the packing intevests from Packington was first raised, The meeting of resentatives of the “big four” and of y onterprise has brought tho movements of the company beforo the people.

He ridiculed the divorce proceedings. If, he said, Parncll had gone morally wrong, was that tho least reason to excuse him from doing his duty to the people whom he was leading to victory! Thoy all know that thoy could not do without him, Their duty was firstly, secondly and lastly to raise their country.” He added, *“There might be some who would fall away from Parnell, but there would not be one honest man among them.” 1 wonder what he thinks of that now! s it true that Paro ell struck McCarthy's hand Saturda; ‘“There is not a word of truth in it. He merely snatched the paper. Of course every- body was very excited and we bad not got our house-of-commons etiquette with us.” “Why is McCarthy so bitter?? « “‘Because he's entively under the thumb of old Gladstone. The old mad will play them a pretty triclc yet.

The legisla- ture stands, according to corrected returns: Senato—Thirty-eight republicans, two op- position. House—Righty-niue alliance men, nine democrats, twenty-seven republicans. The republicans claim that but fifty-eight al- liance menbers are instructed. Of the unin- structed eighteen have agreed to accept as their fnstructions the petitions of a respect- able number of their constituents, The republicans figure that_enough of the opposition will join them to give then a total ighty-nine votes, or more than enough to They also eclaim seven move alliance votes on final ballot, making ninety-six in all.

A Philadelphia Drummer Takes a New York Man's Wife. New York, Dec. 7.—Harvey Brown of , dccompaniad by a woman whom he introduced as his wife, came up to Clarks- town, in this county, yesterday, and stopped for two or three days at the house of an ac- quaintance in the upper partof the tovn. Later in the day another man appeared in the same town in search of the couple. This man sald his name was Phillip Gray and that his placo of co was Hoboken. He said also that he was in search of his wife and a Philadel- phia drummer who had eloped with her. The drummer’s name, he said, was Aver How- ever, he understood that the drummer some- times assumed a fictitious name and that he had in several instances caused troublo in familles where e became acquainted, by his sweet ways and his unduo familiarity with other men's wives and their daughtes Somohow Mr, Gray's presence in Clarks- town became known to the couple, and Avery, alias Harvey Brown, left with the iray said his wife visited in Philadel- phia for two weeks last spring, and during there she became acquainted with In the summer Avery called at his residenceih Hoboken during his (Gray's) absence, probably by appointment with his wife, and the meet.ngs were continued for some time. A friend informed Mr. Gray of something that created suspicion in the minds of several persons. The husband watched for himselt and saw the Philadelphia man enter his apartments one afternoon carly in September, He fol- lowed him in soon afterward, and what he saw convinced him that something was wrong. He ordered Avery out of the house, and told him never to come there again, After Avery's deposition Mr, Gray talked over matters vory plainly with his wife, who said that Mr, Brown, as he called himself, was only on acquaintance whom she met casually in Philadelphia, and that he came to the house on business for a firm whom he represented. On Thurs- when Mr. Gray went home, he s informed by a neighbor that his wife had with Avery just befoco noon, As n her best clothes with her Mr. edat once the true situation and pained. carcling his apartments thoroughly he found part of a letter which the Philadel- phian had written to bis wife eight or ten days beforo ng a clue to the probable route taken by the runaway couple. Mr.Gray ‘was compelled to leave Rockland county with- out his wife and the man with whom she had eloped. But he said he would coutinue his secarch, Dillon or Sexton had been saying and doing for weeks before.

Con- servatives are not sure how matters will end, but beliove that whatever happens, their party will get the oyster and the other side theshells, Both sections of tho Trish intend to make a bee line for home early this weelk, Ireland being now the seat of war.

New Yonk, Dec. 7.—A special dispatch from South Norwalk, Conn. m\rrll';r‘l the narrow and thrilling escape n delth of “Charley the Steeple-Climber.” For several days he has been at work repairing the lofty steeple of the Methodist ehurch in this place. Yesterday afternoon ho was at work on the pinnacle seated in what is known as a “sail- or's chair,” This was supported by ropes and tacking, and was supposed to bo secure. Suddenly, howevor, when over two hund red feet from the ground, the ropes shifted, and “Charley” = was pitehed headforemost out of the chylr, and fell at the rate of about sixteon feet a second in the presence of hundreds of people. verybody seemed to stop breathing awnit- ing the fatal issue. But it did not come, for “Char in his awful t caught and held one of the halyards. To this he clung, spun around for a moment, regained an_ up- vight position, and then easily swung him- self into a small window in the stecple one hnndred feet below the chair from which he fell. Then the crowd broke forth into a ar of cheers, amid which the plucky fellow climbed up to'the post_again and cooly re- sugied his task as if nothing had happened, but it was a narrow escape. i OUTWITTED BY A BANK CASHIER Why a Boston Official Paid a Check for $60,000 in Silver, Bostoy, Mass, Dee. 7.—Boston bankers are laughing over the way ia which the Shawmut bank in this city outwitted a New York institution in a transaction involving £0,000, A check for this amount had been given the New York Central railvoad by the Boston & Albany to settlea balance due the former. The Central deposited it in the Chemical bank in New York. Ovdinavily it would have been settled through the clearing house, but some smart official thought he would get the 000 in crisp baak bills, Therefore it was given toan expresscompany to collect and bring to tho metropols. 1t was duly presented at the Shawmut baulk, but 1t being so unusual a procceding the teller called the cashier's attention to it, The lat- ter divined the New Yorker's game, and quick as a flash decided to give him as good as he sent. 'To the surprise of the express- man, then, instead of neat packages of bills he was offered le(f’ canvas bags each con- taining $1,000 in silver dollar: He had to accept them. So with the help of an extra team be carried the specie, amounting to nearly two tons (3,600 vounds, to be exact) to the train. It was the largest amount of ver ever paid out by the sub-treasury at Bos ton, MISS TOVELL'S INJURIES FATAL. Death of the 8t. Louis School Teacher ‘Who Was Crushed on a Wheel. Sr. Louts, Mo., Dec. 7.—Miss Augusta To- vell, the young normal school teacher who was so brutally dragged last Tuesday, died n tho city hospital today, never having re- covered consciousness from the day of the terrible affair. It will be remembered that Miss Lovell while out fora walk on the boule- vard was knocked down by o horse driven by two workmen, who, asthey saw the woman’s mishap, lashed their horse into a gallop. The unfortunate woman's clothes be- came entangled 1n tho wheels, and she was dragged ten blocks by the fieads, who appar- ently Cid not seem to know of the victim they were breaking on the wheel. Crowds of furi, ous, yelling peopla ran after the wagon, their cries merely spurred the men on to in- cite their horse to greater speed. When Miss Tovell was picked up her face was bat- tered out of all semblance to humanity. The police used strenuous efforts to locate the pervetrators of the awful outrage, and ar- rested a dozen men without finding the right ones, - MARITAL MISERY, A Brooklyn Pastor's Wife a Divorce. New Yonk, Dec. 7.—The divorce suit of Mrs. Maria C. Maguire against Rev. Hugh Maguire of the Episcopal church of Our Savior, on Clinton and Luquer streets, Brook- lyn, was before Judge Van Wyck of the city court yesterday, on & motion for alimony and counsel fee. Mrs. Maria C. Maguire says that while her husband was pastor of a church at Wake- field, Canada, he beat her. He also ill- treated her, she says, at Tom River, J., in 1832, and on October 15 last, at 82 Woodhull street Brooklyn, when he threw her across the room and threatened to put herin an asylum for the insane, telling her that if she ever got there she would not getout in a hurry. Her lawyer asserted that the de- fendant received $1,500 a year, owned real estate and had & bank account. The trial, he tnought, would be long and expensive, The minister's lawyer said Mrs, Maguire had beon in Bloomingdale asy- lua, and the superintendent of the institu- tion had certified that she was suffering from a form of insanity in which there is a perver- sion of feeling. Mr. Maguire had borne his trials with his wife for many years with ex- traordinary patience. She had exhibitod un- accountable hostility to her husband. There were many things, it. was intimated, that, the husband, from a feeling of delicacy, did not care to reveal, but these would be brought out if necessary at the trial. Sophia H. Rieckel, who keeps a boarding house where Maguire and his wife lived, and Julia M. Pile and John Brown, boarders, tes- tified that there had been no Me in Mr. Maguire's room on October 15 last, Mrs, Rieckel said that Mrs. Maguire seemea in- sancly jealous of her husband, and would not allow hin to look at other women at the table. Mrs. Rieckel believed that Mrs, Ma- euive was insane. Mrs. Pyle testified that Mrs. Maguive called Mr. Maguire bad names, and Mr. Brown testitied that she called her husband a mean, cowardly fellow and con- temptuous cur. The deposition of the medical superin- tendent of the Bloomingdale asylum was read. It was to the effect that Mrs. Maguire was admitted to the asylum on certificates of Drs. J. W. Hyde and F. S. Bunker, and that sho had delusions. She showed animosity without cause, and said the vhysicians de- lighted in making her miserable. hypersensitive in the extrema. The husband’s lawyer said he was willing to pay the wife's éxpenses if the case was tried at an early day, and Judge Van Wyck intimated that she was entitled to alimony. The matter was adjourned until the husband could serve his answer to the complaint, It is possible that the case will be tried soon. bl for Regulation of Hypnotic Seances. Cmionao, Dec. 7.—[Special Telogram to Tue Ber.)—At the meeting last night of the Medico-Legal Society, composed of the lead- ing pliysicians and medical professors of the Chicago colleges, a resolution was adopted de- claring that public seances of nypnotism, mesmerism and magnetism should be prohibi- ted by law under serious penalty, and that the employment of hypnotism for medical purposes should ba permitted solely to duly quulified medical men, conditioned upon its being practiced only in the presence of other medical men or unaoubted friends of the pa- tients operated upon, Lrs, M.

Itis improb#blo that, since the reconstruction, such a desperate opposition has been offered to any measure as the one now before the senate. After every offensive epithet has been put forward against tho measure, threats have been made and may be ed out if the bill s foreed to a final vote. Thero are democratic $emators who have threatened to “‘wring themeck of the presid- ing officer who attempts o unceremoniously cut off debate and foree ¢ final vote.” There is to be bulldozing to defeat the bill. If the majority for the measure was as narrow in the house, where the hottest heads ave, the scene which will bo presented at the closing moments would be beyond pen description. Itis a remarkable factthat that which the democrats in all legislative bodies cannot de- feat by reason and majority of votes, they in- variably attempt te defeat by brute force and intin e thé enforcement and application of the proposod law can bo had by any section of country, simply upou appli- cation, and its force can be as casily used to protect democratic as well as republican in- terests at the polls, it is significant that al- most all of the opposition comes from the solid Bourbon distriets, aud all from their influence, The shoe appears only to fit the bourbon foot. And yet motn domocrat can bo found who attempts to deny that on its face it is non-partisan. MANUFACTURERS AND PARMERS AKIN, “There appears to be @ perfect rush to the manufacturing distriets 5'nee the adoption of the tariff bill,” said Representative Evans of Chattanooga, Tenn, to yohir correspondent this morning. *'And they ull appear to bo making monoy. Of cotrde the more that leave the farm and go to manufacturing the greater will bo the profit in farming, 'The upbuilding of tho cities by means of in- creased manufacturing ‘interests and the taking of people out 0f agricultural com- munities will give the farmers better prices, while at the same time they will be able to buy manufactured goods cheaper by virtue of the active competition, 'Wé must not disturb the tarif? as it stands.” Said Senator Moody of South Dakota: “It is folderol to talk about the tariff injuring the republicans in the recent slection. It did our ticket good, and will elect, the president on the repuolican ticket ind~)). The defleotion of the vote of the farmers, which is largely republican, more than da~yibing else defeated the republicans.

Senator Casey will tomorrow introduce a resolution calling unon the searetary of agri- culture to furnish informatiom relative to the expenditure of money npmoxrnwd last sum- mer for investigation into the practicability of artesian wells for iwrigation, m the Da- kotas, Nebraska and other states contiguous. The necessity for this information arises from the fact that when the appropriation was made last year, Mr. Cannon, as chair- man of the housé committee on appropria- tions, could not forgive the western men for knocking out his friend Powell in the irriga- tion fight and insisted upon a limitation being placed upon the time within which the money could be expended. It is now found by the department that a successful investigation canuot be made in the tima specified and thut the money appropriated eannot be profitably expended and the best . results secured. Senator Casey’s object in offering the resolu- tion is to lay befate congress these facts, aud he il _ follow it up by another resolution extending the time when the work provided for in the bill shall be done and thus give the department ample opportunity to make tie investizations neces- sary and provide for a full and complote re- port to be laid before congress. When the appropriation bill passed, giving this $40,000 for irrigation investigationonly a few months of the summer season remaineéd when the de- partment could put mwen in the fiela and socure the information desived. If the time is extended as contemplated by the resolu- tion it will give the department an oppor- tunity to inystigate during the spring and summer of 1891, and when the report is made to congressa year hence it will be thorough and complete and cover a period which will form a basis for future legislation unon this subject. There THEY CHANGE PASILY, A fow days ago the democrats were talking loud about the worl of the senate on the elec- tion bill, throwing over important business to a timd when an extra session of the Fifty- second congress would be inevitable if the federal government was to be sustained by the regular appropriation bills, The talk im- plied a threat. The purpose was to weaken the republicans in their determination to pass the bill or gain time for some flank movement, A lot of promment democrats announced in interviews that the considora- tion of the election measure would surcly necessitate an extra sossion. Presently it was stated by therepublicans that thero would be no extra session of the next con- gress called. Tolay a large number of demo- crats are out in interviews saying there will be no necessity for an extra session. The average democrat in comgress is becoming well versed in the matter of changing front. MRS, MILLEWS SALARY. Representative Gear and Senators Allison and Wilson say there can be no doubt of the adovtion of the bill introdueed yesterday by the former giving $10,000, & yeur's salary, to the widow of the late:Associate Justice Miller. !

The house committes on rules has not yet filed a programme for the consideration of public building bees, of which there are thirty-three on the calendar, among them the following: Beatrice, Neb.; Sioux IMalls, S.

DAUPHIN'S VENGEAN A story is published ina local newspaper to the effect that it was Dauphin of the Louwisiana lottery who squeezed Postmaster encral Wannamaker in the money market recently. It was bad enoagh to be squecze by Jay Gould as orizinally reported but to be punished by the Leuislana lottery is the worst and especially in rctaliation for having sold this influence to seeure the adoption of the anti-lottery bill. Tlie story relates that the lottery company have almost 5,000,000 on deposit in New York andthat when it was telegraphed to Now Orleans that Mr. Wan- namaker wanted to borrow money the lot- tery company wired their bankers {n Gotham, the four largest in that city, to not let the postmaster general have a dollar and the command wus oveyed.

WANT FAT. Strange Carcer of the Conjurer Who Died in 1duho, Monday. MiraN, Tenn,, Dee. 7.~A telegeam this “Jporning announced the deathof Herr Moffat, the celebrated second-sight reader and con- jurer, at Bozeman, 1daho, in the act of swol-.| lowing a sword, which severed his jugular vein, and the conjurer bled to death in a few minutes. Herr Moffat, or Frrancis Morell, was a resi- dent of this city, and here his wonderful talent, which has made him the peer of any and led him before the crowned heads of urope and Asia, was developed. Ho was a very peculiar boy in youth,and was consid- ered a crank. He lived alone with his wid- owed mother, supporting her by working in a stove factory here, His spare moments he spent in the study of magic, and the attic of his humble little homa was transformed into a chemical shop. When he was seven years old, one day he suddenly burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. His mother asked him what pleased him so much. The boy replied that he saw his father (who was then living, but not at home) ruuning rapidly down the mountain side trying to overtake a jug of whisky which he had let fall. The jug rolled part of the way down the declivity but was caught by the old man before it got to the bottom. When the father reached home he confirmed the whole story to the great surprise of all. After this the boy cx- cited much talk in the neighborhood in which he lived. About two years later the Morells were visited by a friehd named Robert Vin- ton, with other relatives or acquaintances, fro:n Philadelphia, who came to test the lad’s miraculous power, asked him various questions and awong other things, inquired what was then going on at his (Vinton's) home in Philadelphia. The boy described the house, which he had never secn, stated that it was built partly of brick and partly of stone; that there was a lake in front of the house, which had recent- 1y been drained, and concl d with a de- ption of the peoplo in the house, and of two persons, a man and a woman, who were sitting on the porch, ‘When Vinton reached his home in Phila- delphia he mquired who had been at his home at the day and hour he had held the conyersation with young Morell. He learned that there had been a shower of rain at the time and that the paople who were fishing in the lake had run o tho house to escape the rain, The persons who wero on the porch had been faithfully described, even to the color of their hair and eyes. In short, every detail given by the boy was proven 1o be ac- cvrate, He became involved in a quarrel once with a young man named Turner. Turner was to call on a young lady, and being met on his wiy by the voung mind reader, Morrell, who was himseif in love with the same young 1ady, they spoke to each other and passed on Young Morrell sat down on a stump, und, bowing his head, cénducted his mind to the parlor in which his rival and the young lady were conversing. In the course of the young man’s call he proposed and was rejected. This made Morrell hapny. Meeting ‘Turner on the street nexv day, he thntalized him about his rejection by the young ludy the night preceding. Words weve exchangoed, and _ Morell drew o pistl, _but fricnds standing by interposed, and no harm came of the quarrel. But Morell fell into intemperate habits and lost bis good name. His habit, when asked to exercise his faculty of second sight secing, was to hold his head downward afte his A After waiting for some time, apparently in deep thought, ne would declare what he saw in his visions, He was sometimes found glone in the flelds, Mittng on a stump and crying. On being asked the cause of his grief he said he saw great numbers of men engaged in killing each other. Although he had never up to that time seen a ship, i bat- tle or a cannon, he described military and naval battles during the war of the rebellion as if he were an onlooker, After the war, when he was about twenty- ars of age, another gentleman from Philadelphia, who had not heard much of h became interested, believing him to be possessed of a noble gift, and exhibited his wonderful power over the United States, drawing immensa crowds in all the largo civ While in St. Louis, in 1873, he was asked by & man in one of the many throngs that came to see him, “What he was dolng with that pocketbook,” (intimating that the young fellow had stolen it), *“Nothing, You are the man who has stolen it,”” was the reply, and upon being searched by a police man who was present, the man was found to have a pocket-book with several hundred ——— AN ORGAN, The McCarthy Party Takes Steps to Establish a Daily Newspaper.
