May Support ilornblower.
It leaked out in senate that the execu
tive committee national Republican
committee, which has been in session
here this week, decided Wednesday
night that it would be good politics for
the Republicans to vote for the confir
mation of Ilornblower to be associate
justice of supreme court of the United
States.
With that end jn view a number of
the members of the committee started
out early Thursday morning to prose
lyte. Different Republican senators
were called upon, but it is said that the
committee scon found they were making
very little headway and gave the mut
ter up.
The 'House On the Tariff.
Washington, Jan. 12.—There was
only a fair attendance in the house when
it met at 11 o’clock, and after the speak
ers’ desk had been cleared and the com
mittee called for reports, without pro
ducing any, the house went into com
mittee of the whole at 11:15 to consider
the tariff bill, and Brosius continued
his speech, interrupteebwhen the house
took recess. At the conclusion of Bro
sius’s remarks, Mr. Everett of Massa
chusetts addressed the house in favor of
the bill.
Mr. Everett was enthusiastically ap
plauded by the Democrats when he took
his seat and when the disorder had sub
sided Mr. Black, of Georgia, spoke in
favor of the bill. Black concluded his
remarks at 12:55 and the chairman in
recognizing Mr. Pendleton, of West Vir
ginia saw he would have recognized some
gentlemen on the opposite side but for an
arrangement whereby the Republicans
had agreed that those in favor of the bill
should speak first and then those in op
position.
Mr. Stewart of South Carolina offered
in the house a bill appropriating $20,000
for the erection of a monument to desig
nate the battle ground of Buford, S. C.
The monument is to be constructed un
der the direction of the secretary of war.'
lii tho Senate.
In accordance with an agreement
made in secret session, the senate, after
the transaction of a little Mutine busi
ness, went into executive sesMm at 12:30
p. m. It was decided that the day
should be spent in clearing up the ex
ecutive calendar of all undisputed nomi
nations, a great batch of these having
accumulated, including a large number
of postmasters.
The effort will be made,to dispose of
all these cases at once, and it is possible
that the nomination of Preston to be di
rector of the mint will also bo taken up
and acted upon. Il' matters move along
expeditiously.
.An attempt may also be made
.---tie th6 nomination of Wooten, ottoiTu
aware, nominated to be Indian agent at
the Nevada agency, against whom Hig
gins has inaugurated a somewhat bitter
fight.
Before proceeding to executive busi
ness the senate devoted about 30 min
utes to general matters, in which noth
ing more important occurred than the
presentation of numerous petitions
against the Wilson bill, and the adoption
of a resolution offered by Mr. Allen, in
tended to correct a supposed misstate
ment in the report of the secretary of
the treasury as to gold coin in the coun
try in the fiscal year 1893.
FOR THE StCuilD TIME.

Council Bluffs railroad was frudrated
by the officers being informed or the
proposed plan. Two of the robbers were
Killed that evening, and another was re
cently sentenced to 10 years in the peni
tentiary. This was thought sufficient to
put a stop to the operations of this class,
of people in this city, but another train
has just been held up, this time almost
Within the city limits.
The “Burltowtow Fiver” was .held n«
about tnree miles east or »t. aosepn *oy
five masked men. The train was stopped
by torpedoes being placed on the track
and a red lantern swung across the road
in regulation custom. As soon as the
train stopped three men boarded the en
gine with drawn revolvers and ord red
the engineer and fireman to accompany
them to the express car and order the
express messenger to open the door.
This they did and upon being ordered to
Open the door the express messenger did
so, when he was covered with a rifle in
the hands of one of the men.
Three others, with revolvers in each
hand, had entered the car and the mes
senger was ordered to open the safe.
He-did so. The robbers then took all
there was in the safe, which amount is
claimed by the railroad officials not to
exceed SSOO. This statement is not cred
ited, however, as Superintendent Hohl,
ot the Burlington road, and W. M.
Moseley, of the Adams Express com
pany, have been in consultation with the
sheriff and chief of police and a posse is
now being organized.

Miss Rickert refused to allow an egg
to be forced down her throat, and be
came aroused at the suggestion of a
bath. “I don’t want a bath,” she said.
“1 have taken one, and have put on my
burial clothes beneath my dress.”

age of letters, and sank into a stupor,
from which she never revived.

Governor Mitchell Is Said to Be More
Determined Than Ever.
Jacsonville, Fla., Jan. 12.—The gov
ernor of Florida has got his back up.
The numerous defiances and manifestoes

port. He could not say what the inten
tions of the governor were. He could
not even express an opinion concerning
them.

asked how long he was going to remain
in the city. He replied that he did not
know how long he would remain. He
would be here until he had com
plied with the instructions of the gover
nor.
It is said that the governor proposes to
keep the adjutant general right on the
scene with full power to mass the troops
should the emergency require that the
sheriff be supported by more force than
he can muster in deputies.
LAWMAKERS IN A MESS.
New York’s General Assembly Not Dwel
ling Together in Brotherly Love.
New York, Jan. 12.—A special to the
World says: “There is a threatened
disruption of the Republican majority
in the legislature. Murmurs of discon
tent are heard on every hand. Favorit
ism has been the order of the day. Men
have been appointed to important com
mittees only because they were the per
sonal friends of the speaker or because
they could be easily moulded in the
hands of Boss Platt.
Such men as Keck, Prescott, Mat
thews and Thornton, who were mem
bers of the assembly a year ago, but
who might as well have been in their
rural homes for all that they ever did,
are now at the head of the biggest com
mittees. Such men as Nixon, Taylor,
Burtis and Wray, whom the people sent
as Republican members from some of
the most important counties in the state,
have been passed by.
“The feeling of discontent has grown
to such a degree that a prominent mem
ber told the correspondent of The World
that all that was needed to swing the
majority over to the Democrats was a
leader who could bring the discontented
Republicans together and the consent of
the minority to accept a pledge of sup
port from them.”
ASK UNCLE SAM.
That Is the Only Chance to Get Damages
for Property Loss.
Chicago, Jan. 12.—Either the United
States government or the exhibitors
themselves must stand the losses occa
sioned by the fire at Jackson park Mon
day night. The Chicago directory which
raised the $26,000,000 necessary to con
struct the.
j no responsibility at
I xnissioncr general for tho French exhibit,
i which was largely damaged, sent a note
' to Director General Davis informing
him serious losses had been sustained by
French exhibitors, and that n claim for
damages wwuld be pri tornnd.-
Director General Davis presented thia
information to the executive committee
ot the directory. While no action was
taken on the communication, there was
an informal conference, the result or
which was the conviction that the expo
sition company was in no sense responsi
ble for damages by fire, and that if the
exhibitors did not have their goods in
sured, they could look only to the United
States government for payment of any
claims they might make.
TO THE VOTERS.
The People’s Party Campaign Opened In i
North Carolina.
Raleigh, Jan. 12.—The opening gun'
in this year’s campaign was fired by Ma- i
rion Butler, chairman of the People’s 1
party executive committee for North'
Carolina.
It is an address to the voters of the
state which declares that ninety-nine
hundredths of the voters are dissatisfied
with the present conditions and that the
causes are bad laws which were passed
at the last legislature; that a large ma
jority of the voters favored changing
the laws, but wasted their strength by
division. He then denounced the Demo- 1
crats, saying that they deceived 59,000 j
reformers who voted with them.
He asserts that the supreme issue in
North Carolina is an entirely free and 1
honest election and urges a rally to the I
People’s party organization in each
county in 30 days and in each township 1
in 60 days.
No High Church Ideas for Them.
Boston, Jan. 12. —A wealthy woman,
whose name is withheld, wants to pre- I
sent Trinity church with a costly altar '
and reredos. But the Low church spirit
in Trinity so long fostered by Phillips
Erooks, instead of thanking her for her
liberality, says her nay. These adorn
ments are characteristic of high church
decorations, and they are not usually
found in Low churches where the Low
church ideas prevail. A member of
Trinity said; “Without meaning to be
vulgar, I can say the offer of these deco
rations has raised the very devil in the
church.” Dr. Donald, the pastor, is
eaid to be in favor of accepting the gift.
He Can Now Stand Trial,
Buffalo, Jan. 12. —Edwin M. Field,
son of the late Cyrus W. “Field, has been
released from the insane asylum and
taken to New York to stand trial for
ruining his stock firm by forging stock
certificates and engaging in fraudulent
financiering. He was arrested, adjudged
insane and sent here for treatment un
der order of the supreme court two
years ago. He is under many indict
ments, and his bail aggregates $400,000.
His crookedness ruined his millionaire
father, who died shortly afterwards of a
broken heart.
An Association Broke.
Memphis, Jan. 12.—The Chesapeake
and Southwestern railroad has with
drawn from the Memphis Passenger as
sociation. The reasons assigned were
that other roads had violated the agree
ment by selling tickets to northern and
eastern points at cut rates through
scalpers, to the detriment of the Chesa

REPUBLICANS HAPPY.
The Committee Met in Washington to Get
Matters in Shape.
Washington, Jan. 12.—Republican
all degrees swarmed tho
lobbies otom Arlington in anticipation
! of the meeting of ihu National Republi
can committee, which met A
spirit of joyfulness over
outlook seemed to pervade the circlja.
Chairman Thomas H. Carter had been
ou the field for two days.
At noon the committee went into se
cret session for the discussion of its bus
ness matters. The two questions of
greatest interest relate to finances and
the establishment of committee head
quarters. The two cities between which
the committee wavers are New York,
the business center and the seat of the
presidential campaign headquarters, and
Washington, the center of political in
terest. There is a western sentiment
focused on Chicago, but this is hardly
considered a serious possibility.
Meeting Reverses.
Washington, Jan. 12.—The advocates
of the income tax and of the internal
revenue feature of the tariff bill suffered
an unexpected reverse at the meeting of
the Democratic members of tho ways
and means committee. Instead of en
dorsing the bill as drawn by the sub
committee it was voted by 6 to 5 to re
consider the entire determination reached
at the treasury department some time
ago.
Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, made the mo
tion to reconsider and it was his vote
which was decisive in securing the
change. Tarsney followed with a mo
tion to refer the entire subject to a
Democratic caucus of the house, this also
was carried by a vote of 6 to 5.
