Mow Dr. MoCosh Was Snubbed at Har vard. An Explanation from l)r. Ilolinc* nf Ills Meunlm: In the Line* Which ('nusetl the llupture-A Tulk With Princeton’* Venernble Prealilent. New York, November 16.—The dispute which seems destiued to shake the rela tions between Harvard and Princeton, as u result of the poem of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes and the utterances of James Rus sell Lowell, on the occasion of Harvard’s celebration a week ago, was brought to the attention of Dr. Holmes lost evening. Ho declined to be interviewed, but over his own signature in a letter to the editor of the Boston Post, he says: “To the Editor of the Boston Post—Sir: The only reference to Princeton in my poem was these two lines, which were written and read exactly us they are found in the printed copy published with the Atlantic Monthly: -“•O'er Princeton’s sand the far reflections steal Where mighty Edwards stamped his iron heel.’ “The ‘stars’ In the newspapor copies of extracts were only to separate the independ ent paragraphs, unless some of the papers may have seen fit to strike out lines which they choose to leave out for reasons of their own. I cannot believe that the ex cellent and venerable president of Prince ton would take offense at the suggestion that a ray or the reflection of a ray, from Harvard, which lighted the first torch in the wilderness, and has certainly been one of tile centres of illumination for two cen turies and a half, has blended with the other lights which made Princeton brill iantly conspicuous among our educational institutions. The ‘sands’ of New Jersey were only a geological reminisoeDoe of a recent visit to that state and reference to Edwards was intended to typify the pro found impress with which that extraordi nary man left on the intellectual world in which he moved, and over which he still exerts a commanding influence. “Yours truly, O. W. Holmes.’’ A World correspondent said to Dr. McCoBh yesterday: •‘Doctor, I wish to ask you a few ques tions about your recent visit to Havird.” “Well,” said bee, “the paper by James Lowell was a very beautiful Russell 1 l and a erv -very wise one. He urged the same objec tions that I had done against the indis criminate elective Bystem of Havard and the omission of Greek as a subject requir ed in order to confer the B. A. and M. A. degrees.” “Was there not a peculiar reference to Princeton in Dr. Holmes’ poem?” “I heard what he said, but oi course I •did not take it down. I am anxious to have an authenticated record of what he said about Princeton in his poem, but until I do, I am not prepared to say any thing.” “Was not Princeton snubbed in the con ferring of degrees?” “I have written to the secretary of Har vard University, but am not prepared to f ive that letter at present to the public, as hope that explanations will be given which shall clear up the whole subjeot. I ■did not expect or wish a degree for myself as I got an LL.D. from Harvard when 1 came to this country. But I think it rather strange when degrees were scat tered to the colleges around us—Yale, •Columbia, Pennsylvania and Johns Hop kins, six to Yale, three or four to Colum bia—that no honor was bestowed on any member of the Princeton college. I have Teported to the professors here and And they are bearing it calmly and believe that tho public will understand it.” The lines in Dr. Holmes’ poem, which caused the venerable president of Prince ton college to leave the Harvard celehra 1 tion and shake the dust of Cam bridge from his feet are ae follows: “As once of old tom Ida’s lofty height The flaming signal flashed across the night. So Harvard’s beacon sheds its unspent rays Till every watch tower shows its kindling blare. Caught from a spark and fanned by every gale A brighter radiance gilds the roofs of Yale ; Amherst and Williams bid their flambeau shine. And Bowdoin answers through her grovc-s of pine; O’er Princeton's sands the fav reflections steal. Where mighty Edwards stamped his iron heel; Nay on the hill where old beliefs were bound Fast as if Styx had girt them nine times round, Bursts such light that trembling souls inquire If the whole church of Calvin is on fire. Well they may ask for what so brightly burns As a dry erecd that nothing ever learns? Thus link by link is knit the flaming chain Lit by the t,rch of Harvard’s hallowed plain.” A WIFE’S PERFIDY Causes tho Murder of a Family—Ilor Own Wretch ed Life Taken Along with the Others. White River, Ont., November 15.—For .some weeks past a large Inumber of em ployes oi the Canadian Pacific railroad have been engaged about here in prepar ing the track for the winter, which is just setting in. Among the force there was one, Richard K. O’Brien, a handsome young fellow about 30 years of age and a .general favorite among his companions. He hailed from somewhere, so he said, in the maritime provinces, and had traveled extensively. When first he came here to work he met Mrs. Charles Williams, the wife of a country storekeeper, and from his acquaintance trespassed until he had worked up apparently a position in the family circle which only most intimate friends might attain. Living in the same family with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams were the father and mother of the hus band, as well as three small children oi the For the past six weeks Will jpms has suspected his wile of infidelity, and _ laid a trap to catch her. Taking the train yes terday for Chaplean, Ont., he left word that he would be absent over night, but in stead of going on to his destination he took the return train from a way station, and so arrived at home about 7 o’clock last night, when, proceeding to his home, he opened the outer door*with a latch key and en tered. Going to his room lie found there his wife in bed with O’Brien. Taking a heavy walking cane which he carried, he dealt the intruder a blow upon the face as he was rising from the bed. O’Brien quickly recovered himself, and, catching his pants from the foot oi the bed, drew a revolver and shot Williams dead, the noise attracted the other occupants of the house, and to shield his crime 0 Brien shot the father as he was entering the room partially dressed. Having no more cartridges as the old lady put in an appearance and screamed, startled by the sight of her husband lying weltering in his life’s blood, the murderer seized a heavy chair and struck such a cruel blow as laid her senseless before him. io conclude the devilish work begun, he beat her until her head was reduced to a pulp with a heavy stick of stove wood procured from an adjoining room. Two of the three children were then disposed of with the same club- which ended the existence ot the old lady. The little boy, the youngest and only eighteen months old, was spared, as he could bear no evidence against the murderer. __ __ All the remonstrances of Mrs. Williams were unavailing. She was threatened witu instant death if she did not keep quiet, and after the murder the wretch went agmn to bed and remained there for some hours with his paramour, when he arose, and, taking a clasp-knife from his pocket, stub bed her four times about the region of the heart and left her for dead. He then fired the house and left hurriedly. Attracted by the flames, neighbors came to the reliet and sucoeeded in removing the bodies ot the killed and Mrs. Williams and the in fant from the burning building. Mrs. DAlkY ENQUHWr-’gUK: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA FRIDAY .MORNING, KOYRMBER 19,„ 1880. Williams lived long enough to make a statement of the affair to the authorities, and then expired. The officers of the law were quickly iu search of the assassin, and he was arrested about twenty-five miles from the scene of the tragedy. He denied the crime, and claims to he able to prove an alihi. 1’uero are, however, many cir cumstances against him, and it is more than probable the murderer will be lynch ed. BASE BALL. I In* Heir Rnlrs .1 "ioptort ll) the Nullonnl l.rnaui-. Chicago, November 16.—The ruleB com mittee ol the National League and Base Ball Association resumed its session early this morning. The following changes were made to-day: The high and low ball system of delivery has been abolished, any ball now being considered fair that passes the player between his shoulder and knee and that passes over the plate. Bunching in future will not be allowed. Any obvious attempt to make a foul irit will be considered a strike. The club will not toss for choice of posi tions in future, the right of choice invari ably resting with the home club. Five- bolls and four strikes will be allowed, in stead of six balls and three strikes, as here tofore. When the batsman takes his base on bails, he shall be credited with a base hit. A batsman shall take his base when struck by a pitched ball. Any motion whatever on the part of the pitcher made to deceive a hatter shall be considered a balk. If in running to base the runner touches and detaches the base bag without being touched by the baBemau he will be pafe. Captains of clubs only can question any decision of an umpire. The old rule requiring a runner to re turn to his base on a ruu when a foul hit is made was changed. Hereafter a runner can walk to his base. No runner can have substitute run for him in cuse of an injury, but if hurt must retire from the game. A batter is out on the fourth strike under the new rules, whether the ball is dropped or passed by the catcher. The question of having two umpires and a referee was brought up, but the majority of the committee voted againBt the scheme and it was dropped. Modification of the umpires’ rules of both organizations was adopted. The pitcher’s box was shortened to live and one-half feet, and the pitcher will be re quired to keep his forward foot firmly on the ground wneujaboutjto deliver the ball. His other must be on the back line of the box, and he will be allowed to take but one stejp when delivering. The ball must be held in plain view of the umpire. The pitcher cannot, as heretofore, deliver the ball to the batter after making a feint to throw to first base, but must resume his position in his box. Only two coachers will be permitted, and they shall have the right to talk to base runners only. For talking to a bats man coachers will be reprimanded for the first offense and be forced to give up his coaching and another man put in his place on a repetition of the fault. In scoring when a batter is (given his base on called balls, a hit is credited to the batter ana un error given to tho pitcher in the summary only. All batting errors are charged in the summary, as are earned runs, two and three-base hits, home runs, double plays, base on balls, hit by pitcher, passed balls, wild pitches, time oi game and name of umpire. The pitcher will be given no credit for a strike out. In place of total bases, the record of stolen bases will be kept. Any at empt made by a player to steal bases must be credited, whether an error is made or not, if the runner is successful in reaching base. The committee also required each asso ciation to appoint a joint rule Committee at eaoh annual meeting, they to act fee the year. All clubs under the jurisdiction of the national agreement must abide by the rules adopted, which are known as “National Playing Rules of Professional Base Ball Clubs.” Many of the more important changes in corporated thus far have been at the sug- g cation of the advisory board, composed of aptains Anson and Ward, Oomiskey and Swartwood, who it is believed are carrying out the views and wishes of a great major ity of players iu both the great organiza tions. Perfect harmony seems to exist be tween the committee and tiiis board, and the work has been greatlyl simplified and rendered far more effective by the admis sion of the players as representatives to the council. A number of base ball magnates and others prominent in the affairs of the national game arrived this morning, and others will reach here to-night aud to morrow morning. Among the late coiners are Frederick Steams, president of me Detroit club; John B. Sage, ex-president of the Buffalo club; John S. Morrow, presi dent of the Southern League: Manager Watkins, of the Detroits, and Clift'Carroll, of the Washingtons; President Hewitt aud Manager Gaffney. A. S. Denny and E. Wise, of Boston, and representatives of the Kansas City and St. Louis teams, will be here this evening. One of the important matters to come be fore the league meeting to-morrow is the completion of the league circuit for the following year. The president of a league club stated to a reporter this morning that ho believed the question of the circuit would be settled before to-morrow night. Pittsburg will be represented here to morrow, and the delegate is now here, though where he is could not be ascer tained. League officials say nothing when questioned as to the matter. It is rumored, however, that' Kansas City will be dropped and Pittsburg will be added to till the vacancy. Two (JupstioiiN for Mr. George. New York World. Here are two questions which we should like to have the supporters of Mr. George’s land theory to consider: First—If‘‘the value which attaches to the surface of the earth by reason of the growth of population belongs to society at large,” as they affirm, docs not society at large owe compensation to those whose land suffers a decrease in value by a loss of population? Sec -nd—If “society at large,” repre sented by the government, sells its natural right to the soil for $1.25 an acre to a poor but industrious settler—as the greater part of the western lauds have been sold—and that settler, after working hard for twenty years, more or less, finds that the “growth of population” has overtaken him and on- hanced the value of his purchase, would it be fair for “society at large” to insist upon gobbling up his profits trom the lee which it conveyed to him absolutely/ MISS DAVIS AT SYRACUSE. resentment because Miss Davis was to make her debut in northern society in this, city. finch a feplliig docs not exist. It can he stated ou the best uuthdrhy that thiol sentiments ' of Syraeuslans toward Miss Davis are entirely cordial, and the right or Dr. and Mrs. Emory to entertain Jefferson Davis’ daughter has not been questioned, either from social or other points of view. A few older citizens, who were most loyal in the war, still cherish anything hut kindly feelings toward the confederate leader, and a shade of this bitterness has been transferred toward his daughter, but this is in no sense representative. a FAMILY VISIT. Miss D >vis is simply payings visit to a family friend. Her father and Dr. Emory’s father were on most intimate terms, aud the doctor himself was a surgeon in the confederate service. Miss Davis has not been at all nervous about her reception in the north. In Syracuse Dr. and Mrs. Em ory have friends enough to make her stay pleasant, and they have not found it nec essary to ask any one to receive her. The fact that they are iu tnou.'i’ing precludes their usual partiuipnlion t.i social events, and although Davis will undoubtedly attend a few receptions during her visit, it may be stavod that the purpose of her com ing to Syracuse is not to test the sentiment of northern society towards her. but to en joy tho hospitality of these friends ol'her self and her family. underVhT ban. lu-r'plmntp Frnti-i-nul II in (1,-cirj Snchdir* Or- Kuitlzlny Against Sjierulntlve Scheme*. Washington, November 17.—Delegates representing seventeen fraternal socie ties, with a membership of 530,000, met at the Riggs House, in this city, to-day, and organized the National Congress of Frater nal Beniflciary Societies. Permanent or ganization was effected by the election of tho following officers: Leroy Andrus, of New York, president; W. H. Barnes, of California, president of the Pacific Press Association, first vice-president; J. H. Butler, of Massachusetts, second vice-presi dent; R. C. Hill, editor of the Buffalo Sun day Truth, recording secretary; O. M. Shedd, of New York, corresponding secretary, and Malvor Nelson, of Washing ton, treasurer. A constitution was adopted, of which the principal provision is that none hut legitimate fraternal beneficiary societies working under a ritual and lodge system shall he eligible to membership in the national congress. The main object of the congress is to organize among the various beneficial orders a system of mutual information, benefit and protection. It is said that a number of business and speculative com panies are organized under titles which would lead many persons to believe them fraternal beneficial societies. Protection is desired against these companies. Among the fraternities represented by delegates are the Ancient Order of United Workmen, with 172,000 members; Knights of Honor, with 130,000 members: Royal Arcanum, with 70,000 members; Order of United American Mechanics, with 40,000 members, and the Order of Odd Fellows. ON ’CHANGE. An Average Day With no Events to Speak Of. Her Visit Not Intended as a Test of Northern Sentiment. Syracuse, N.

She has met a number of their friends at their elegant dwelling in cast Fayette street, and has been a member of two theatre parties at the Wiesing opera house, in company with Dr. and Mrs Emory. Aside from driving ont once, Miss Davis has made no other appearance in public. disagreeable reports.

On account of the favorable negotiations now in process leading to the settlement of the existing disputes, and also the recommended advance in freight rates, more attention was directed toward the trunk line shares, and they were much more active and stronger, especially Erie, Lake Shore and Canada. South ern coal stocks were much quieter. An attack was made upon Richmond and West Point just after the opening, and several stop orders being uncovered its de cline amounted to 3 per ceut. before sup porting orders enough could be executed to rally it. It remained strong, however, throughout the remainder of the day, finally closing with n small net advance. Bituminous coal stocks were again strong, Hocking Valley being the principal fea ture. Some of the specialties conspicuous for the advances made were Joliet Steel, Memphis and Charleston, Virginia Mid land and Erie preferred. The opening this morning was active but gener ally heavy, most of the stocks showing declines of from J to j per cent, from last evening. There was some other slight losses in the early dealings, but the market soon rallied and became strong throughout. The slump in Richmond and West Point and the strength in Ohio and Mississippi, and Hocking Valley being the special features of the morning hour. Tho market then quieted down but remained firm with several slight reactions until close. Higher prices in a great number of cases being made in the last hour, while the lowest prices were generally reached the first half hour. The total business of the day was 378,000 shares.

The lady who sent it to me says years ago her husband was an Indian trader, and while among the Alaska Indians he collected this queer currency, and now, having no use for it, sent it to me. The Indian money, or wampum, as the Indians call it, is a rare sea shell an inch or more in length, twice the size around of a large knitting needle, tapering slightly, bent and hollow.
