HIS FUNERAL CONDUCTED WITH SECRECY Burled at Night in an Alr-Tight Coffin ~The House and Its Tnmates Quarantined and Pla ndor Strict Guard, G. Bennett, who has been slck with small- pox at the home of a man named Hoffman, corner of Avenue G and Tenth street, died yosterday afternoon from the effects of the disease. This outcome was looked for sev- eral days before it occurred, for his exposure in getting from to this city had made his case a very serfous one. The burial took place last night. The re- mains were wrapped in a sheet saturated with an antiseptic drug before being placed in the air-tight metallic cofin. They were then sealed up from view, the coffin brought out of the house, put into a wooden box and taken to Fairview cemetery for In- terment. Ten o'clock was the time set for the burial, but both the time and the place were carefully kept secret in order that the public generally might not be on hand to witness the exercises. There was no clergy- man, no hearse and no funeral procession. Yesterday afternoon throe more people were found who had visited the lHoffman house and were placed under quarantine restrictions. They are Mrs. Dan North, “Jumbo” Armstrong and a man named Perdue. Armstrong admitted that he had been at Fioffman’s last Sunday and talked three hours with Dennett. He said he ex- amine Bennett at the time and told him he lad smallpox. The house, on Four- teenth street between Broadway and First avenue, is under guard by the officers day and night, and no one will be permitted to g0 in or come out for forty days. The fact that this place had been quarantined led to the rumor yesterday afternoon that another case of the disease had developed, but this rumor was utterly without founda- tion, The authorities have sreat hopes of preventing any further cases from coming out, for the most stringent rules have been adopted. There may be a few more ca develop where persons have been ex- posed, but nothing like an epidemic is looked for.

The G-cent fare clubs are preparing to make an onslanght upon the city councii next Monday evening by way of a reminder to the council, the company, and all other in- terested parties, that they are still on the earth and in business. An ordinance was® introduced by Alderman White at the last meeting, providing for the taxing of the motor company’s poles and wires, and an urgent request will be made by the clubs at the next meeting that this ordinance be at once passed. An interesting time may be looked for. ~ The latest action of the motor company in presenting the council a prop- osition that was no proposition at all has added to the conviction that was already held by many outside of the council and one or two in that nothing satisfactory need be looked for until the supreme court has ruled on the question of whether or not the company has a franchise to run under, and it is thought quite likely that the ordinance will receive favorable consideration. o JATION Ot the Great Annual Winter Sale at the Boston Store, The great sale will continue all this week in order to give those a chance who have 0 far been unable to attend.

Perhaps this question has never cecurred to you, or, if it did, 1t is unlikely that you wero in- terested in it, but the is more per- haps than you thought for in the answer to this query, says the Alton Sentinel. Yes, ina rather loose sense, snakes do migrate—that is, they have certain hibernating quarters and make certain excursions regularly every summer, and their lives are just as systematic as those of any other living thing. Their migrating habits have long been known to naturalists, and the bluffs along the river afford a splendid locality for illus- tration of what is known as the snake migration. Just at this season of the year, when winter is coming on, all the Serpents in the lowlands. across the river, on the islands and in the ficlds are making for the bluffs, where they find shelter and hibernate in the fis- sures and crevices during the cold sea- son, and it is a common thing to see a snake swimming the Mississippi in the fall of the year, always go.ng toward the hills. Mr. Louis Stiritz of Clifton Terrace, who has frequented the river along the Piasa Bluffs almost all his life, suys b has seen the time in the month of No- vember when you couldn’t cross the river at Clifton in the middle of the da without seeing a half dozen snakes skim- ming toward the Illinois bluffs, and that he has often killed as many as four or five rattlesnakes with an oar while rowing from his place to Alton. These snakes lie in & comatose condition in winter, and just as soon as the warm rays of a spring sun creep into the rock: they erawl out, bask in the sun for a few days, and then slide down the shales and off to the lowlands, Last fall the writer was hunting along the bluffs above Elsah, when he 1 an experience that convinced him that snakoes really .do migrate. He noticed an old man walking along the river's edge, who scemed to be intently watch- ing somethisg on the water with a pa of field glasses. His actions excited curiosity, and the hunter climbhed down the blufl and joined the stranger at the edge of the water. The man carvied a heavy sack, a paiv of field glasses and & quecr pair of long wooden tongs, and when questioned re- plied that he was a snake catcher, all the while scanning the surface of the water with his glass. In the course of ten minutes he sighted game, which proved to be a snake swimming for shore some 200 yards above. The old man im- mediately picked up his tongs and _just as soon as the ke had landed he grabbed him with the wooden claws. The catch proved tobea black snake and he was stowed away in the sack. For another hour he plied his trade, during which time he caught four snakes—two water snakes, one garter snake and a spreading adder. The latter he put in the sack, liberating the others with the remark that they were “no good.” Those other snakes are “good” snukes now, however, for the writer appointed himself a committee to swat every one of them on the soff, side of the head with the hard end of anover- grown pebble. The old man had waxed very genial by this time, and together with my com- rade, who had just come up, we went up to the house to see his collection. He Lived in a_little cabin boat, in a back room of which he had over fifty live and hissing snakes, which he said he sold to a man in St. Louis, who sold them to different parties for different uses. “‘How did [ learn the trick?” said the snake-hunter. “Well, sir, I learned it when a boy. We used to live on the bluffs above and near the Wisconsin line, and every fall the Indians would come down from the reservation and catch rattlesnakes as they crossed the riv They sold the dead snakes to a man at the fort, and [ learned the trick from the Indians. Every fall the snakes take to the bluffs, and they only swim the river when the sun is warmest in the middle of the day. I used to catch them with a boat like the Indians, but Dve learned a trick that the reds didn’t know, and that is that you can catch more snakes along the shore with one- hall the work.” —— — Protested Agalnst Vaillant's Execution, LONDON, Feb. 1.—A number of French, Spanish, Italian and German anarchists met yesterday to protest against the execution of Vaillant in Paris. An Itallan, who is re- puted In comfortable circumstances, presided. A number of vehement speeches were made. A Frenchman proposed that if Vaillant was executed an attack be made upon the French embassy in London. This found favor and was received with cheers and cries of “Blow it up,” and responsive cries of “We will.” The meeting was attended by the most dangerous portion of the anarchist party. e Sho Carrled a Valuable Cargo. NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—The steamship Tauric, which arrived here today, had on board the most valuable collection of Span- ish jacks ever brought to this port.

IRREGULAR Towa Legislative Copmitteo Reports on the Suspended Penitentiary Warden, TR, DIVERTED FUNDS I§ THE USUAL MANNER Judgment of the Oficial Question Not His Honesty: He S ney’’ at: the State's Expense, How [ MOINES, Jan. 81.—(Special to The Bee.)—Some time ago Warden McMilien of the Fort Madison penitentiary was sus pended from office by Governor Bofes the charge of “misappropriating the guar fund.” The whole matter was subsequently referred to the legislature for investigation, and a special committec has just concluded its work. This committee finds the charg: to be true—in fact it was never denied—but claim It has been the custom with the war- dens to do this from time immemorial. The specific offense consists in compelling the guards to sign vouclers for the highest possible amount allowed by law, and for full time, when in many cases, they have only worked from one-half to one-fourth the time indicated by the pay roll and reteived pay for the time actually put in. The balance has been used by the warden as a sort of “pin money” to cover miscel- laneous expenses. LET THE OFFICER DOWN EASY. The committee does not find that tho warden has converted any of this fund to his personal use, but i8 convinced that the sum and substance of his offending has been the following of a bad practice set by his prede- cessors, The visiting committee, consisting of Senator Waterman and Representatives St John and Saberson, however, find other evi- dences of a_disposition on the part of the warden hardly consistent with an economical administration of affairs. For instance, he asked and received an appropriation from the last legislature of $260 to purchase a of land already under his control with the title vested in the state; also $2,700 for a ‘“stone barn” for six head of horses, when he al- ready had a good, substantial frame build- ing supplied with every convenience. No recommendtion has been made by the joint committee, the facts being simply Stated in the report, but a resolution ady ing the governor to reinstate the warden introduced by Senator Finn is pending in the senate, The warden's term will expire June 30. TOO FREE WITH STATE FUNDS. It is the prevailing opinion of the law. makers that there is too much money ey pended in the salaries of the officers and em- ployes of the various charitable, educational and penal institutions of the state. The president of the State university at Towa City gets $5,000 a year, $2,000 more than the governor and more than twice as much as the president of any denominational col- lege, and the salaries of all the other pro- fessors are fixed on the same liberal scale, The president of the lowa Agricultural col- lege has a fixed salary of $3,50 per year and eight other professors get from $1,600 to $2 cash_besides the privilege of occupying elegant homes built at the expense of the state. The entire faculty of this in- stitution numbers forty-five, and the annual ries they receive wmount to more than DE on There are nearly twenty boards of trust- ees of from three to eleven persons who con- trol these institutions, and personally in- terest thémselves i procuring liberal ap- propriations from the state legislature, INFLUENCE OF THE LOBBY. To simplify matters and reduce the ex- penses of the state institutions, Senator Gatch introduced a bill two years ugo abolishing these boards, and providing for a board of control, but tho lobby succecded in sidetracking the niéasure. Governor Boies in his annual message strongly recommended this reform, and suggested that a board of control consisting of four persons, with the governor a member ex-officio, should be elected, in whom the'full and absolute su- pervision and control af all the state institu- tions should be vested. This recommendation has been taken under advisement by both houses, and a bill em- bodying the governor's views will be intro- duced at no distant day. The bill introduced by Senator Lewls to regulate express charges is still in the hands of the committee on corporations, which is pretty closely divided as to its merits. Section 8, which contains its most salient features, reads as follows: SUBSTANCE OF THE MEASURE. “The board of rallroad commissioners, when said schedule of classifications and charges shall have been filed as above re- quired, shall, it said classifications and charges be deemed unjust and unreasona- ble, have full power and authority to alter and amend the classifications and to fix maximum rates of charges, and such rates established by the sald railroad commis- sioners shall be prima facie evidence that such rates are reasonable for all kinds and classes of such articles as may be recelved for carriage and transportation by any ex- press company or corporation doing business in this state, having regard to distance or dQistances any such articles may have to be s0 carried or transported, and to compel the sald companies or corporations to exchange business at all railroad crossings or junc- tlons, where freight or passenger depots are or may be established, and to establish equitable rates between such companies or corporations so exchanging articles In tran- sit; and no company or corporation doing an’express business in this state as afore- said, shall have power to alter or amend the schedule of classification or rates of charges, when so fixed or approved by said board of railroad commissioners, without the consent and approval of said board.” The scttlement of the contest case from Jackson county in the lower house between W. M. Stephens (rep.) and A. W. Richard- son (dem.) resulted in favor of the former, who was declared elected by twenty-six votes. The ballot boxes from that county were sent for and the votes carefully counted in the presence of both parties. and the seat was awarded to Mr. Stcphens by a unanimous vote, the democratic claim- ant magnanimously conceding his defeat. BILLS INTRODUCED TODAY In the senate these bills were introduced: By Gorrell, to equalize the assessment laws and provide for the taxation of mortgages and notes owned by nonresidents; by Jewett, repealing the tax exemptions for planting and cultivating fruit and forest trees; by Rowen, fixing the state fees for corporations at 10 per cent of the capital stock and mak ing $100 the minimum, also to protect bot- tling works in the use of trade marks, The house bill exgmpling registered phar- sts from jury duty was lost on final reading, but a motign o reconsider was filed. These bills were itroduced in the house: By Allen, prohibiting any person vnder 21 from practicing medicine; by Bell, prescrib- ing penalties for selling and delivering in- toxicating liqours: o “mall orders;” by Byers, requiring marties beginning ' suits against dealers i intoxicating liquors to give bonds and pay costs when the prosecu- tion falls; by Brinton,, reducing number of justices of the pence to one for each county; by Ranck, providing for a board of control for all charitable institutions, The house passed.

Edward Blake, M. P., Addresses n Bos- ton Audience on the Subject. BOSTON, Jan. 31.—Hon. Edward Blake, M. P., the prominent Irish nationalist of Canada, and the leader of the home rule cause in the British Parliament, spoke on home rule in Ireland in Music Hall tonight under the aus- pices of the Boston municipal council of the National Irish association. He was grected by an audience of about 3,000, and his ap- peal for funds to aid in carrying on the work of his party resulted in the raising of a little over §6,000. Mayor Matthews presided, and upon the stage were many distinguished cit- izens of Boston and vicinity. The meeting adopted resolutions to the effcet that the citizens of Boston encouraged Gladstone in his efforts to free the Emerald Isle, pledging him their support. Mr. Blake reviewed at length the struggle of the home rule party in the past and pre- dicted its success in the near future. He sald that the recent defcat of home rule in the IHouse of Lords was expected and the party which had supported the measure was not at all dismayed. Continuing, Mr. Blake explained sition of the home rule allies and lined their course for the future. In speaking of the present conditions In Ire- land, Mr. Blake denounced the existing systom of county government there, and showed that in counties having a popula- tion of 660,000 Catholics and 73,000 Pro- testants, offices were filled by 114 Protestant- unionists and two Catholic-nationalists, L AL Killed in a Dive Ind., Jan. 81.—Frank and Samuel Medlicott became an altercation last night in one of the rooms of a questionable resort here, when a shot was heard and shortly afterwards Stevens was found dead.

It s that of D. G. Ramsay, grand chief of the Order of Railroad Tele countenancing and Jan. 81.—(Special ase of more than raphers, the charge of lending aid in the wire cutting on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern during the strike of the dis- patchers and operators on that road over a year ago. The case will probably be called in a ery few days, and promises te be one of the most hotly contested In the history of the Mr. Ramsay has employed eminent counsel, and the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern and Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Raflway companies have employed several prominent attorneys to a in the prosecution In order to get a thorough understanding of the case it is necessary to go back to the organization of the Order of Railway leg- raphe It was organized in this city June 9, 1886, and a majority of those partici- pating in the organization were employes of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern road. In the carlier days of the order the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern was rganized, owing to the fact that ment of the road did not make determined opposition the employes belonging to it LOST INTEREST IN THE ORDER. Valley City division No. 1, of this city, became one of the leading divisions of the o nizatic but in the course of time many changes occurred, the members of the order drifted out to otlier lines of railway,the em- ployes of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern seemed to lose interest in the order and Valley City division No. 1 was removed to Vinton, the headquarters of the orde The principal reason for this was perhaps because the policy of the order had changed from a_nonstriking one to a pr ctive order, Duriflg the years 1801 and 1842, however, there was a general reawakening among the employes of the Burlington, Cedar Rap- ids & Northern, and a desire to be reorgan- ized was expressed by the employes in the telegraphic department and especially by the train dispatchers, A delegation of train dispatchers waited upon the grand officers of the order and stated that they were willing to take hold of the matter and endeavor to thoroughly reorganize the road with a view of making it a scheduled one. The grand officers consented to lend their aid to the movement, and it was decided that Valley City division should again be removed to thig city and ituted, hoping in this way to give the movement more stability. This program was carried out, the division was re-cstublished here, the grand officers of the order and nearly all the train dispatch- ers of the road being present at the open- ing meeting. BECAME VERY AGGR! This accomplished, the train dispatchers at once went to work with great zeal and soon had the entire Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern system thoroughly organized. This done, they began to demand that a schedule should be prepared, and in accordance the with the grievance committee assembled, a schedule was formulated and the committee met in this city to present it. When this committee waited upon Superintendent Wil- liams he informed the members that the schedule was not in proper shape for him to entertain, and requested that it be revised. Following this the train dispatchers in_the office here were waited upon by W.P. Ward, superintendent of telegraph of the road, and through Lis cfforts they withdrew their de- mand for a schedule, swore alleglance to the road and accepted a raise of $5 a month. Before this, however, W. F. Doran, chief train dispatcher, had en dismissed for a trivial offense. After the sellout of the dispatchers, Grand Chief Ramsay took matters in his own hands, called together a committee of those who had been betrayed and again presented a schedule for the consideration of the rail- rond company. No agreement could reached, and on September 21, 1862, the dispatchiers and operators of the road left their keys and went on a strike. The tie- up was one of the most complete in the his- tory of the west. Trains were run on schedule time, but several wrecks were nar- rowly averted, travel was almost discon- tinued on the entire system, trainmen threatened to quit uniess compeient opera- tors were placed at all the stations, and the road was losing money. NEITHER SIDE GAINED A VICTORY. Finally on Octoher 1 Grand Chief E. B. Clark and Grand Secretary W. P. Danlels of the Order of Railway Conductors held a con- ference with Superintendent Williams, which resulted in an_amicable adjustment of the pending difficulties. Neither side gained a signal victory. The management of the road agreed (o recognize the order, the vital point of the strike, to fill all vacancies from the ranks of the men who had struck, and fur- ther agreed to receive a delegation of op- erators at any time to consider the question of wages. Mr. Ramsay at once declared the strike off, and as but few of the places had been filled nearly all the men were taken back. Thus ended the gtrike. But the trouble was not at an end by any means. The management of the road, it seems, at once began to work with the view of ultimately disrupting the order. During tho strike wires were cut a number of times. It was charged that it was the work of the strikers, but no proof could be brought forward to substantfate these charges. About a year after the close of the strike Mr. Ramsay was, upon the dence of two men who claimed to havi in the employ of the order who had the strike In charge, indicted by the Linn county grand jury on the ground of coun- tenancing and lending aid in the wire cut- ting on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern road during the strike of a The indictment caused a big as no one had ever for even a mo- ment connected Mr. Ramsay, or any of the other officers of the order, with having had anything to do with the wire cutting, the known policy of the officers being against any violence whatever. The outcome of the trial will therefore be awaited with much interest, 5 Fatal Wreek at Kock Valley, ROCK VALLEY, Ia, Jan. 31.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—As the regular freight was pulling out of the yards y lay the switch rod broke, throwing three cars into the ditch, smashing the tool house and kill- ing Fokeko Vanderlaan, a section hand, in- stantly, e leaves a wife and four child- ren. on court, SIVE. been stel fi % NN .
