Those present were Mayor Perry, of Key West, collector of the port Browne and Mr. Eichenberg representing those who favor allowing Spanish cigar makers to be imported to work in Key West factories. Mr. Ru bens appeared on liehalf of the labor or ganizations in opposition to importing laborers from Cuba to work in factories.

Still <>u the Tariff. ■Washington, Jan. 22.—The third and last week of the tariff debate in the house opened with a slim attendance of members and visitors. After reading Saturday’s Journal and some executive communications, the house went into omimittee of the whole to consider the tariff bill. Ta the ffenate. There was nothing of public import ance in the morning business of the sen ate beyond the presentation of several remonstrances against the Wilson tariff bill. Many industries were represented in these remonstrances, but particularly clothing and woollen goods industry. After considerable discussion Mr. Call's civil service resolution was agreed to, with an amendment, submitted for that offered by Berry, requiring the date of the appointment to be given, which would indicate the politics of persons ap pointed. The resolution offered by Mr. Pfeffer, last Thursday, declaring that the secre tary of the treasury has no authority to issue or sell bonds, as proposed in his notice, was taken up, and Mr. Pfeffer proceeded to address the senate upon it. Mure About Stanford’s Will. San Francisco. Jan. 22.—The Ex amiper says it is rumored that A. I‘. Stanford, of New York, a brother of the late Leland Stanford, will contest the fetter's will. He is quoted as huvinz Bam coax ne iiau not ms in- tention of contesting the will, but that he was not satisfied with the SIOO,OOO left him. Hr said: "If the other side manifests a disposition to be fair and reasonable I shall not bring suit. I should greatly regret the necessity of forcing the estate into the courts, be cause it would air a family matter that I don't wish to give publicity to.” COLORADO’S OLD GOVERNOR John Gilpin, Ha. Jn.t Died In Denver. Hie Costly Joke. DiNtRR, Jan. 22.—Ex Governor John Gilpin was found dead in his bed here, Three months ago he was badly injured by falling from a moving street car. John Gilpin was 73 years old. He was the first governor of the territory of Colorado, being appointed in 1861 by President Lincoln, prior to which time he was a resident of Philadelphia. In 1856 Gilpin, then governor, played a joke that cost him over S3OO. It was for one of the first cable despatches that went under the ocean. The first At lantic cable was completed in 1858. and it was alleged that a despatch was re ceived by President Buchanan from tjneen Victoria over it. A second cable was laid and completed on Aug. 3, 1866, and many were as scep tical of the result as in the first instance. Among those who couldn’t help laugh ing over the absurdity of it was Gover nor Gilpin, and when it was announced by the company that anybody could send a despatch to Europe at the rate of $lO a word, Gilpin thought it was carrying the joke too far. to he dropped into the telegraph office in Denver and dashed off the following message: Denver. Col., Aug. 4.1866. To Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor, Tuileries, Paris. France: Please let Bohemia alone. No interfet tersuc* will be tolerated by this territory. John Gilpin, Governor. The message was duly forwarded to New York and transmitted across the ocean, and no doubt Napoleon received it. Fortunately, however no internation al complications resulted. When the bill earns in it was for three bundled and some odd dollars. MURDERED HIS WIFE. A Columbu* Negro Killed a Woman in Cu!«l Blood. Columbus, Ga., Jan. 22. —Thesanctity of the Sabbath was broken in Columbus Sunday morning by a horrible mnrder, at 823 Front street. The tragedy oc curred about 7:30 o’clock. The crime, forcO'dness, quickness and barbarity, lias hardly a precedent in the cataloguo of murders. Richard Lightner, a negro about 27 years of age, found his wife in rather questionable relations with John Green, another negro, and almost without a word of warning, jerked a common pocket knife and began to use it very freely on the woman. The first blow would have produced death, for it plunged straight through the heart and severed it. The negro next plunged the blade into his wife’s throat, cutting the jugular vein, and followed this cut with a deep gash in the left shoulder and a cut in the left thigh. The woman was almost dead before her busband had finished his bar barous work. The negro Green offered no resistance, but as soon as the murderer had turned and fled. Green gave the alarm. After a desperate run for liberty, Lightner was captured and is in jail. The Vice President’s Cousin. Kalamazoo, Mich., Jan. 22.—Mrs. Bell Hull, a first cousin of Vice Presi dent Adlai E. Stevenson, and who, in her early days, was well acquainted with Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, has become incompetent to take care of herself, and is to be taken to the Allegan County poorhouse. She has been supported for more than a year by an allowance of $lO a month from a sister who lives in Chicago. The latter is an invalid and unable to contribute more. Mrs. Hull was born in Kentucky in 1828. Her mother was Vice Presi dent Stevenson’s aunt. ANOTHER NOMINATION. Mr. Cleveland '‘i ii'ls in a Name Distasteful to New York Senators. Washington, Jan. 22.—The president has sent’ the senate the nomination of Wheeler 11. Peckham of New York to be associate justice of the supreme court of the United States. Wheeler H. Peekham is a brother of Judge Rufus Peckham of tho New York court of appeals. He was appointed district attorney by Mr. Cleveland when he was governor of New York but sub sequently resigned. Although New York senators decline to talk it is understood that the nomination is distasteful to them, but that they would have been glad to have seen the name of his broth er then sent in for the place. Indica tions seem to be that the Hornblower struggle will be renewed against thia nominee. A Minister Got a Whipping. Syracuse, Jan. 22.—Tully, a village near here, has somewhat of a sensation which has grown out of a series of tem perance meetings conducted by the Rev. Mr. McGann at the Baptist church. In his talk against the liquor evil he is said to have referred to George Goddard’s hotel in terms which were not compli mentary. Mr. Goddard’s daughter was present and broke into tears. Goddard met the Rev. Mr. McGann, and words were followed by blows. The minister got the worst of the fight. Railroad Wreck. Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 22.—Passen ger train No. 5, on the Central road, due here at 7:55 p. m., was thrown off tho track near Fitzpatrick, by a cow. The engine, express and baggage car were derailed. Engineer Williams and Fire man Kimball, of Macon, were badly scalded. No other casualties. KOiMifiwA., Tuesday MORNING, JANL'AuY 23, ! O b4 A SIMILAR CASE ToThatof Howard, Just Con victed at Jackson. SCANDALOUS FRAUDS An American Who May Have Been Duped by 4 Sharp London Lawyer. New York, Jan, 22.—The World prints a story from London which bears some likeness to the case of Howard, just convicted at Jackson, Tenn. The story says: Developments in the recent trial of the Rev. Mr. Howard in Tennessee have been strikingly duplicated in a case be fore the queen’s bench in London, in which an American named Jaquess and an English solicitor were parties. The question before the court was whether Solicitor Thomas should give a bill of costs for the expenditure of over $75,000 entrusted to him by J. F. Jaquess. It incidentally appeared that Jaquess had come to England in V-86 with’ SBO,- 000 in money anil a claim of one Law rence, of Troy, N. Y., to tlje Towneley estates and "$70,000,000 which had accumulated in the English treasury.” It appears suit was actually entered for the recovery of the estate, but no effort, apparently, was made to get the $70,000,000. Thomas, the solicitor, car ried the case up to the house of lords, and it was finally dismissed as frivolous and vexatious. Revelations in the case just tried led Mr. Justice Mathew to say: "There appears to have been a scan dalous fraud.” And Mr. Justice Collins declared: "There is a question whether Jaquess is entitled to the assistance of this court. That depends on whether Jaquess was a party to a gross fraud admitted by Thomas to have been carried out by him. The master has investigated the matter, and I do not disagree with his finding. I could not take upon myself to say that Jaquess is fraudulent, but I am not certain that he is clear of fraud, and I should be sorry by my judgment to place any obstruction in the way of persons who may have any right as against Jaquess. It must not bethought that this court has absolved Jaquess from all suspicion of fraudulently com bining with Thomas.” A reporter succeeded in locating Ja quess at London lodgings. He dresses in black broadcloath, has long white hair and has a dignified manner. He is living in Denbigh place. Pimlico, a shabby genteel quarter of London. He says he was colonel of the Seventy third Illinois volunteers during the war, and was afterwards an official in the postoffice in Washington. His principal hope on earth now is that the English solicitor Thomas shall be made to dis gorge some of the moneys which Jaquess has paid him. Jaquew* Statement. To the reporter Jaquess made the fol lowing statement: "I was asked to go into the case by Dr. Webb, of Utica, N. Y., a friend of mine. He collected the pedigree, proofs of marriage, and everything necessary to establish a claim to the Townely es tates, obtained the opinion of eminent counsel—Blake, Curran & Boyd, of To ronto, and others —and collected from many persons money with which to carry on litigation. Our documents show that John Lawrenco married Mary Towneley, daughter of Sir Richard Towneley, in 1695. In 1807 there was a failure of male issue in the Towneley family, and the suc< wssion, we claim, should have gone to Mary Towneley’s descendants. Dow Hager Lawrence, her great great-grandson, the present claimant, is a poor ship carpenter in Troy. The Towneley estate is in the possession of Lord Norreys, now in the Earl of Abing don, who married a Towneley—nomi nally in possession. The estate is of enormous value. It includes a large part of the manufacturing town of Burnley and several coal mines. The statute of limitations will put our case out of court unlesss we can prove there was fraud in obtaining the property, which is what we hope to do. "When 1 came to England, six years ago, we employed Howell Thomas, an English solicitor. He took all the pa pers, retained counsel, etc. The case was dismissed by the house of lords two years ago, and we failed to obtain per mission to begin another suit, but the language of the court led us to believe we might succeed another time. "But in the meantime Thomas has ob tained $75,000 from us and refused an accounting. This is what we are trying to obtain. He has had seven addresses within six months, and we do not know where he is now. He has many impor tant papers. "Thomas informed me that the sum of $70,000,000, accumulated income of the estate, was in the treasury. I have not been able to ascertain that yet.” To all this may be added that the re cent report, published in the London Times, of unclaimed moneys in chancery sufficiently shows that no really consid erable sum awaits any claimant there. _ ” HAVE A PLAN. _ A. New Monetary System Disoussed by For eign Friends of Silver. London, Jan. 22.—The correspondent of the Standard at Berlin says that those persons interested in promoting a new monetary conference have prepared a plan for submission to the governments most closely concerned with the silver question. The plan will propose that the United States, France, England and Germany form a monetary union upon the follow ing basis: The United States to buy and use for currency purposes $10,000,000 of silver vearlv: France, rsnrsaentincr the Latin union, to purvu..se zu.vou.uou irancs worth; England and Germany to with draw all their gold coinage and paper money under the value of one pound sterling and buy 750.000 pounds worth of silver yearly in the mean time and is sue notes under a pound in value against the full equivalent deposit of silver coin age; India to resume tne unlimited coin age of silver. The price of silver is to be fixed by the countries mentioned at, several of the persons interested say, 4d per ounce above the Indian rupee price, to be alterable only at the beginning of each year. If the average London price of silver fall at any time 10 per cent below the convention price, the members of the union are to have the optibn to Withdraw and dissolve the union. This plan will be accompanied by a document to prove that the acceptance of the proposed regulations by England and Germany is perfectly compatible with their maintaing tbe gold standard and to explain the height of the conven tion price of silver by the necessity of offering the owners of silver mines a profit sufficient to induce them to form a liuitt to limit the output. TO BOOM HILL. Chicago Take, the First Step In th. Next Democratic Campaign. Chicago, Jan. 22.—A call has been published for a meeting at which will be organized the David B.’Hill Democratic association of Chicago. With the or ganization of the association will begin, it is said, a mighty movement to secure for Senator Hill the presidential nomi nation for 1896. It is said by persons interested that already over 1,000 Chi cago Democrats have agreed to assist in the movement. S. D. Keough, a local politician, is greatly interested in the Hill Ixiom. “The movement has been quietly agi tated since the last presidential elec tion,” said he. “We intend to run Mr. Hill for the presidency on the broad platform that he is a Democrat. The movement will also ■be a brake on the work the Republicans are doing in the west in Mr. Harrison's behalf. The matter has been taken up in the east and great interest is manifest there. In the west we intend to push it until there is a powerful organization in favor of Mr. Hill's candidacy for the presidency.” SHOT TWO WOMEN, rini at a Uarke.per, and Tli.n Eltet Hiiuself Dead. Chicago, Jan. 22.—Walter I’hipps shot and dangerously wounded Mrs. James McCormick and Miss Elma Erick son in State street and then committed suicide. Phipps had been drinking and entered his room, where Miss Erickson was putting things in order. What was said no one knows. The report of a pistol was followed by screams from tho girl. Mrs. McCormick rushed to the room and found the girl on the floor with a bullet bole in her head, Phipps standing over her with a revolver m hie hxad. He fired at Mrs. McCormick, hitting her in the head. Then be rushed downstair* and fired at a barkeeper. After that he killed himself. Mr. McCormick and Miss Erickson were taken to St. Joseph'* hospital. The young woman will die. Mrs. McCor mick may recover. Phipps was considered steady and dil igent. He had boon out of work for several weeks. This drove him to drink and he probably became temporarily in sane. BRECKINRIDGE WRITES. He Cannot Leave Hi* Work to Meet Hl* Political Enemies. Lexington, Ky., Jan. 22.—Colonel Breckinridge will make an aggressive campaign. A circular letter from Wash ington, which he has just issued, insures a most sensational campaign. It reads: Deas Sir: The canvass for congress! man has, in a certain sense, opened, and that very vigorously. My enemies are ex tremely busy, and do not confine them selves to legitimate methods of canvass ing. They are attempting to stab me in the back while I am here attending to my public duties. I cannot neglect these du ties and leave the district unrepresented when important measures are pending; and I must, therefore, throw myself upon the indulgence of my friends and ask their help. I assure you I intend to make this race, and I do not Intend to make a defen sive race. I ask your support, and I would take it as a favor if you would send ms the names of the Democrats in your neigh borhood, atid correspond with me from time to time. Very truly yours, W. C. P. Breckinridge. STONE A CANDIDATE. He Will Offer to Succeed Senator Walthall in Congreii. Jackson, Miss., Jan. 22.—80th the ■enate and the house passed highly eulo gistic resolutions in the matter of the resignation of Senator E. C. Walthall. Each set of resolutions expressed deep regret at his self-imposed retiracy, and both endorsed without qualification his course as senator fropi Mississippi, and each eulogized his long and brilliant career. The race for the succession : s fairly on. Ex-Governor Lowry, Chi I Justice Campbell and Hon. A. J.

Charlie Johnson Says That Corbet Has a Dead Sure Thing. The Corbett-Mitchell fight ha* begun to affect passenger business. Every Cin cinnati train that passes through East Rome has one or two extra sleepers full of sporting men on their way to Jackson ville. Within the last three days nine sleepers full have passed through and more are to follow. These pilgrim* are of a festive sort, and among them are many noted sports. Sunday night Charlie Johnson, the sport ing editor of the Cincinnati Commercial, passed through. He is an enthusiastic Corbett man and will be a special guest of the champion at Jacksonville. He says Corbett has got a dead aure thing in this fight and Mitchell hasn’t a ghost of a chance. He thinks the fight will not come off in Jacksonville, but in New Or leans. It will be remembered that Cor bett sent out a telegram a week ago tell ing his friends to be in Jacksonville on the morning of January 24th if they wanted to see the fight. That is the day before the time appointed, and in the interval a special train could make the run from Jacksonville to New Or leans. Billy Tate, a noted sport, who was ref eree in the fight between Sullivan and McCaffrey at Chester Park, near Cincin nati some years ago, went down Satur day night. It is said that in that fight McCaffrey really got the best of Sulli van, but the fight was awarded the other way ou account of the immense stakes put up. Pete Costello, a Cincinnati sporting man, and Fred Wilcox, of Chi cago, the largest cigar importer in the ' sountry, went down Sunday night, on route to Jacksonville to see the fight.
