William Henry Smith, secretary for war,
is to take Lord Randolph Churchill’s place
as leader of the conservatives in the house
of commons. Lord Hartington, Joseph

equally averse to joining any coalition cab

Then the lids were fastened in place.
Ample folds of a garrison Hag were
arranged about the casket and tied in
place with ribbons of white, while Mowers
and palm branches were placed upon its
top. These lust offices oi love and respect
were performed by the loving hands of

more formal but still prlvato leave taking,
the doors were opened and the widow

Deadly was here recently from Ohio, try

of Justice Woods’ death was mentioned,
and it was suggested by some one that,
Governor Hoadly would be a good man to

GENERAL, LOGAN’S DESIRE.
One dav last summer John A. Logan told
u brother senator that when he died he
wanted to be buried in Washington. After
General Logan's death his grief-stricken
hit | widow expressed an earnest wish that her
husband should he buried here. Wilh
these facts staring them in the fane the
Illinois delegation entreated her for two
hays to choose Illinois for the burial place.
Those Illinois statesmen are sentimental
suckers.
H.'T MORTALS.
The president is suffe iug with the rheu

with gout or rheumatism. Neither one
HAS NOT RESIGNED.
The Marquis of Salisbury, after an inter
view with "Lord Hartington to-morrow,
will hold an informal council for the pur
pose of rearranging Mie cabinet. There is
not a whisper about Sir Michael Hicks-
Beaeh having resigned the office of chief
secretary for Ireland, ami it is certain that
at the meeting ot the cabinet on Tuesday
the other ministers concurred in his ex
pressed decision to continue his present
work.
Sir Michael, replying to an address pre
sented by a deputation of Ulster liberal
unionists, in Dublin to day, expressed tho
hope that he would he able at the coming
suasion of parliament to assist in bringing
before that body suggestions of deputa
tions. The’tenor of his remarks indicated
that he would remain in his present posi
tion.
5 JLord Charles Beresford, one of the junior
lords of admiralty, is mentioned as suc
cessor to William Henry Smith in the war
office. Otherwise the ministry will re
main unchanged.
Lord Hartington’s conference to-day
with Chamberlain and Goschen proved
that the radical-whig alliance is unbroken.
Chamberlain’s interview with Lord Hart-
ington lasted two hours. Both gentlemen
expressed the opinion that it would lie the
wisest policy to maintain the liberal union
ist body as an independent section.
The refusal of Lord Hartington to enter
the cabinet grutilies the lories, who
strongly objected to the infusion of liberal
blood in the ministry. A majority of the
members of the Carlton club preferred
the return of Churchill even atthe cost
of submission of the government. Eit'ort.s
to reconcile Lord Randolph promise I jot
ter. Lord ltawton acting on he half of Lord
Salisbury and Sir Henry Drummond
Wolff for Lord Randolph, mct.it Carlton
Club to-day. Lord Randolph, in the club,
denied that he was moving to effect a re
conciliation, but expressed Ills willingness
to entertain proposals if they tended to
strengthen the party.
Cabinet ministers will go to Osborne to
morrow to attend council, at, which the
question of the further prorogation of par
liament will he discussed.

Rudolph Weber, secretary of Brewers
Employees Union, became involved in a
quarrel with the clerk at Bergdoll’s
brewery this morning and was arrested
and committed for hearing to-morrow.
This afternoon Jus. A. Wright nnd Jns.
R. Haves, of the executive board of Dis
trict Assembly No. 1, called on the secre
tary of Lager Beer Brewers Association,
of Philadelphia, and assured him that the
strike as far as the beer driver wagons was
concerned was illegal and without author
ity of the 1 executive board of the District,
Assembly. It was further said if the
wagon drivers refused to return to
work within a given time they
would be suspended as an assembly of the
knights of labor and their charter ns such
revoked. Tile committee from the district
also assured the secretary that they would
supply him with all tho experienced
wagon drivers that might be needed at
twenty-four hours notice, on belinlf
of the association. This offer
accepted by tho secretary.
No formal meetings of the brewers have
been held, hut it has been agreed that the
strikers who do not return to work by 1
o’clock to-morrow afternoon, will not, ho
taken hack under any circumstances. The
wages of drivers were not affected in the
least, by the list recently posted up by the
brewers.

St. Louis, December 30.—Robert Pinker
ton says all accomplices in the robbery
have been captured. Five men are under
arrest and Mrs. Haight. Being asked if
Fotheringham was guilty he replied: “1
am not ready to say. I prepared t he evi
dence for the. grand jury and he was in
dicted. Draw your own conclusions.”
There aro a large number of accessories
after the fact, he said, scattered over
the country, and he would list: j
his own judgment as to making I
further arrests. Pinkerton’s men were
, scouri.ig t lie city all night, hut the fruits of 1
i their labor are not made known. Witroek
l and Cook wore kept, in Adams’ express of- j
| flee ail day, and removed to some place of
1 concealment, at dusk.
| A sneeial from Leavenworth says: Mrs.
Witroek, trio'her of "Jim Cummings,” was
I seen at her residence. She was very un-
I willing to say anything about the arrest of
I her son, but was anxious that tho public
j should know the real cause of the robbery.

Mobile, Ala., December 30. News was
received here late last night of the burning
of the steamer Bradish Johnson, used as a
boarding house at Jackson, on the Bigbee
river, eleven miles above Mobile, on Wed

to that point. The Johnson was lying
with her nose in the bank and the gang

gave the following
DESCRIPTION OF THE FIRE.
I had just gone to bed when I hoard the
cry of tire. 1 got into my limits some how
and seized my other effects and rushed out
into the cabin. There had been a party
of men out there playing cards and they
saw the smoke rising. When I came into
the cabin the tire seemed to be in the state
room aft of tho pantry on tho port side
and men who had been playing cards were
standing there at the doer looking in at
the lire. They soemed dazed and
did not know wluit to do.
They had shouted fire but
there they stood staring. I shouted: “For
God’s sake! what arc you standing there
‘or? Wake the men up and let iib got out
of here.” There was nn old Alabamian in
tlic room next to mine: I don’t know his
name. He was asleep when l went to bed.
for I heard snoring. I hammered and
pounded away with all my might, hut I
don’t know whether l got him awake or
not. The smoke was already tilling the
cabin and the men were running around
like mad. I hardly know whud happened. I
ran forward through the cabin and my
eyes and mouth got so full of smoke that I
did not know where 1 was going. The
negroes were mostly lodged on the lower
deck. They all came running forward
about the same time we got there. The
vessel

PASSENGER COMMITTEE MEETING.
A meeting of the southern passenger
committee has i ecu called in RouisviTlo,
January 4. It is probable that the session
will be held at the Unit House. When tho
association represented by the committee
was formed it was agreed that the animal
meeting should be held the second Tues-
! day in December. The place for the meet
ing this year was Atlanta, but the snow
was so heavy in the south at the time fixed
that a quorum did not succeed in getting
:U
together. Those who did meet adjourned
to meet at the call of the commissioner.
This has just been issued.
Mercer Slaughter, of Atlanta, is commis
sioner, and the following roads are mem
bers of the association: Atlanta Const
Line, Central, of Georgia, Charleston and
Savannah, Cincinnati, Southern, Last Ten
nessee, Virginia und Georgia, Georgia rail
road, Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West.

The tickets for 18SS cannot be Cleveland

' Philadelphia, Pa., December 30.—The
threatened .strike among tiie employes of
various breweries throughout tiie city, in-
| eluding brewers, drivers, coopers, engin-
; eers, iireincn and other hands, numbering
in ail over 21)00 men, was inaugurated this
morning against a reauction of 20 percent.
In their '.sages. The men were advised
| not lo vh.it llie breweries where they were
I employed and to congregate in the vicini
ty, as all demonstrations among the
i strikers would be discountenanced by tiie
leaders. This advice was followed by the
men, and all was quiet to-day in the brew-
j ery town near Thirty-second and TLomp-
' son streets, where all the larger establish
ments are located.
At nearly all tiie breweries operations
were suspended, and though at the large
brewery of John F. Betty & Co. , business
was progressing as usual. One oi’ tiie fire-
men at this place said that only nine men
engaged in tiie brewery had gone out on a
strike; that they were “uuion” men, and
those who continued to work belong to tue
1 knights of labor. Members of the brewers’
association have decided not to recognize
any labor organization to which their em
ployes belong, except the knights of labor,
preferring methods of that organization in
settling labor troubles, and are determined
to enforce a new scale of wages.
A mass meeting of strikers was held in
! Muennerchoir Hall this morning at which
j encouraging speeches were made by mein-
jbersofthe be^r brewers national protec-
! live union, who came over from New York
| where the headquarters of that association
; are located. Herman Mover, secretary of
the beer drivers union of New York, Geo.
Bart, secretary of the beer drivers union of
Brooklyn, and Rudolph Weber, secretiny
of the brewers union of Philadelphia, al so
addressed the men. All the speakers urged
upon the men the necessity for good be
havior on their part, and said that if they
would but stand firm and ac t with intclli-
' gence there was no doubt but what
I they would be successful. It was decided

New York, December 30.—Tiie stock-
' market again showed further improvement
to-day. Foreigners did little or nothing,
! but an increased demand for stock devel-
j oped rom all quarters. There was good
i buying for long account, and liquidation of
i short contracts made further progress,
j Dividends Upon Vanderbilt’’.-* declared to-
| day were somewhat disapp -::11ii r to large
I numbers of people, and those storks failed
I to respond to general butter fueling, be-

active and strong upon renewed
talk of combination between those proper
ties, although nothing definite in regard to
; the matter was developed. There was
i specially heavy inside buying in Richmond
and West Point, and it"rccords a phenome-
- mil advance this evening. Opening was
: generally strong this morning. Advances
j ranged from i to i, though West Point was
'up li and Hocking Valley l, while Long
1 Shore was off A. There was an active brad-
. ing, and after some few slight declines
| in early dealings, the entire market
, became'strong, and under the lead of Jer
sey Contra! and Richmond and West Point
: advanced materially during the first hour.
! The rise, except in a lev/ special stocks,
j halted before noon and a fractional reac
tion took place. There was a renewal of
the buying in the afternoon and further
progress toward higher prices was made,
'although on somewhat reduced business
realizations. This again caused sagging
of prices in the last hour, but the mar-
j kd recovered in tho last fifteen minutes
i and closed strong, at a shade under the
best prices of the day. The entire active
list, with the cx< option of Canada Southern

The tendency among railroads, as in va

solidation. Twenty great systems control
half the roads in the United States. This
