CONGRESS’ WEEK’S WORK.
The Efforts to be Made to Pass the Ap
propriation Bills.
M ashington, Jan. 18.—To-morrow in
the House of Representatives is the day
for the monthly call of :he committees for
motions to suspend the rules. The calls
rest with the Committee on Foreign Af
fairs, and Representative Hitt intends to
move the passage of his bill, reported this
1 session, to provide for the exercise of
1 jurisdiction by consular courts. Motions
will lie offered in behalf of other commit
; tees, as follows: Naval Affairs and Post
| Offices and Post Roads, to assign days for
• consideration of various measures here
, tofore reported by them; Indian Affairs,
to pass the bill providing for the allotment
of Indian lands in several Territories;
Labor (if reached), to pass a bill prohib
iting contracts for the labor .of United
[ States prisoners.
When the House adjourned Saturday
it was rumored that the Committee oh
Judiciary would endeavor to keep the
House in session to-morrow until that
committee was reached, in order that the
bankruptcy bill might again be called up.
This cummittee is among the last on the
list. Mr. Collins, of Massachusetts, how
ever, who has had charge of the bill, said
that he was not aware of any such pur
pose.
The time to be devoted to legislative
business in the House of Representatives
on Tuesday will be short. On Dec. IT
last the House resolved that Jan. 20,
after 2 o’clock, should be devoted to the
delivery of tributes to the memory of the
late Representative Erins, of South Car
olina. During the early part of the day
the Committee on Elections intends to
call up the contested election case of
Massey vs. Wise, of Virginia.
On the same tlay the committee will
probably rep >rt the contested election
cases of McLean (Rep.) vs. Broadhead
(Dem.), of Missouri, and Fredericks
( Dem.) vs. Wilson (Bep.) of lowa. The
reports will be in favor or Messrs. Broad
head and Fredericks. The committee in
tends to call them up for consideration
by the House as soon thereafter as possi
ble.
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The Indian appropriation bill was pend
ing at the adjournment Saturday. If the
Appropriations Committee should not an
tagonize the Committee on Elections with
this measure Tuesday, it will probably
be called up for consideration Wednes
day. Of the fourteen annual appropria
tion bills not one has yet become a law.
The Military Academy appropriation bill
has passed both branches of Congress,
but the House has refused t# concur in
the Senate amendments, and the bill has
been sent to a conference committee.
Both the pensions and consular and
diplomatic appropriation bills have passed
the House and are now iu the Senate
Committee on Appropriations.
The river and harbor bill is in the
House. The District of Columbia bill is
ready to be reported by the House Appro
priation Committee, and the naval bill is
under consideration by that committee.
The army, post office, fortifications, sun
dry civil, legislative, executive and ju
dicial, and deficiency bills are still in
course of preparation by sub-committees.
The agricultural appropriation bill is
yet to be matured by the Com
mittee on Agriculture. It is
possible that the army, navy and post
office appropriation measures will be re
ported to the House during the week. If
so, nearly the entire week will be taken
up by their discussion. If, however, the
committee is not able to report these bills
and an opportunity is offered for the con
sideration of other business, an effort will
be made to secure the discussion of sun
dry measures which have been pending
for sometime. Mr. Stockslager says that
he will continue to call up bills making
appropriations for public buildings
throughout the country; Mr. Townsbend.
of his Mexican pension bill; and Mr. Wil
lis. his educational bill.
Mr. Henley, of the Committee on Pub
lic Lands, will endeavor to obtain the
consideration of the bill providing for the
forfeiture of the Northern Pacific land
grant; and A. S. Hewitt, if the opportu
nity otters, the bill to carry out the pro
visions of the Mexican treaty.
WHAT IS BEFORE TRE SENATE.
In the Senate to-morrow will be devoted
to eulogies of the late Senator Anthony.
Twelve Senators have announced their
purpose to speak. It is probable that the
remainder 01 the week will lie consumed
in the consideration of the inter-State
commerce bill and the Nicaraguan treaty.
Should the inter-State commerce bill be
disposed of or be displaced. Senator Coke
will endeavor to secure consideration of
the bill to provide tor the improvement
of the channel between Galveston harbor
and the Gulf of Mexico. Following this
in the list of special orders are the Texas
Pacific forfeiture bill in charge of Mr.
Plumb, and Mr. Tan Wyck’s bill to de
clare certain railroad grant lands subject
to taxation. The first measure to be
considered in the morning hour is the
bill to quiet the titles of settlers on Des-
Moines river lands In the State of lowa.
FOOD FOR REPUBLICANS.
Ati Alleged Friend of Tells a
Very Fishy Story.
Washington, Jan. 18.—The Sunday
Herald of this city, a paper of Democratic
professions, publishes to-day an alleged
interview with an alleged gentleman, who
is an alleged old friend of President-elect
Cleveland, and who, It is alleged, holds
an important office under Cleveland’s
commission. This alleged gentleman and
alleged officeholder is quoted as saying
that he has known Mr. Cleveland 25
years, that he saw him about a week ago,
: and that he (Cleveland) called him (the
alleged gentleman) by his first name, as
he has alvrays done. The alleged gentle
man is quoted as saying that Cleveland
made the following statement to him last
week: “One hundred and and two thou
sand office holders constituting the regu
lar army of politicians are rooted in
power by twenty-tour years adverse pos
session. Four-filths of them should be
turned out, the best evidence of this being
that they are in. The party In power so
long never put any in place but its use
ful men—those who would help to per
petuate its rule. Therefore I say that
the best evidence that they should go out
is found in the fact that they were ap
pointed at all.” These words, put in the
mouth of the President-elect, have been
telegraphed from here to-night in all
directions. They were quite naturally
seized eagerly by representatives of Re
publican party newspapers, and upon
such manufactured stuff double-leaded
attacks on the President-elect will likely
be based during the next few days.

Sermons—The Words He Let Fall In
the Pulpit Yesterday Reproduced In
Print.
Brooklyn, Jan. 18.—A few days ago
Dr. Talmage received on his fifty-third
birthday a testimonal through the Brook
lyn Magazine containing over a hundred
congratulatory letters from distinguished
people, such as Secretary Frelinghuyseu
from the Department of State, Dr. Prime
of New York, Dr. Storrs, Henry Ward
Beecher, John G. jAYhittier, Gens. Han
cock and W. T. Sherman, Senators Sher
man and Colquitt, Lord Butler of Dublin,
Martin Farquar Tupper, Emma Abbott
and others. Dr. Talmage has asked the
press to convey his hearty thanks for
their kindness. Philip Phillips says in
his letter: ’’Arriving at New Zealand the
first literature that met my eyes as 1
entered a large book store in Auckland
was: ‘Dr. Talmage’s.sermons a penny
each.” Even in the nethermost iand,
Australia, the Southern Cross and other
leading papers of the colonies are telling
of salvation as delivered in the Brooklyn
Tabernacle.” John K. Porter,the great jur
ist, writes: “N<s one else can send through
an audience like him the magnetic thrill
which penetrates the heart like lightning.
He reaches with every sentence the popu
lar intelligence, heart and conscience.
Fully as I appreciate the more boundless
field Dr. Talmage commands in hts own
grander profession, I cannot refrain from
thinking what a mastery he would have
over courts and juries it it had happened
to him to belong to ours.” An English
correspondent in the same collection
says: ‘‘Seven papers in Loudon here pro
duce Dr. Talmage’s sermons each week,
and through these alone does he obtain an
audience of more than 800,000 readers,
one of these papers alone having a circu
lation of over 220,000. In Scotland three
or four papers publish his sermons
regularly, and in Ireland, through
out which country he is universally be
loved and respected, even a larger number
of periodicals produce his discourses
to their readers. It must also be remem
bered that these periodicals, while they
circulate, of course, more extensively
throughout Great Britain, they have
thousands of regular readers in all the
British provinces, such as British
Guiana, New Zealand and Australia. At
all the bookstores in London, Liverpool
and the large cities of Great Britain his
sermons are always for sale, and find
many purchasers, one publisher in
London informing me that he sold more
than 30,000 copies of I)r. Talmage’s bound
sermons annually. In Ireland his ser
mons are read more extensively than those
of any living preacher, and the journals
having the largest circulations' are in
every case those that give space to the
publication of his discourses.”
The subject of Dr. Talmage’s sermon
to-day was: “The Looking-glass of the
Gospel.” The opening hymn was:
“There ii a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins.”
The text was: Exodus xxxviii., 8: “And
he made the laver of brass and the foot of
it oi brass, of the looking-glasses of the
women assembling.” Dr. Talmage said:
We often hear about the gotqiel iu John,
anil the gospel in Luke, and the gospel in
Matthew: but there is just as surely a gospel
of Moses, and a gospel of Jeremiah, and a
gospel of David. In other words, Christ is as
certainly to be found in the old Testament as
in tiie new. When the Israelites were march
ing through the wilderness they carried their
church with them. They called it the taber
nacle. It was a pitched tent; very costly,
very beautiful. The frame work was made
of 48 boards of accacia wood set in sockets of
silver. The curtains of the place were pur
ple and scarlet and blue and fine linen, and
were hung with most artistic loops. The
candlestick of that tabernacle had shaft and
branch and bowl of solid gold, and the fig
ures of cherubim that stood there had wings
of gold; and there were lamps of gold and
snuffers of gold, and tongs ol gold and rings of
gold; so that skepticism bus sometimes asked :
Where did all that precious material come
from? It is not my place to furnish the
precious stones, it is only to tell that they
were there.
I wish now more especially to speak of the
layer that was built in the midst of that an
cient tabernacle. It was a great basin from
which the priests washed their hands and feet.
The water came down from the basin in spouts
and passed away after cleansing. This layer
or basin was made out of the looking-glasses
of the women who had frequented the taber
nacle and who had made these their contribu
tion to the furniture. These looking-glasses
were not made of glass, but they were brazen.
The brass was of a very superior quality ami
polished until it reflected easily the features
of those who looked into it. So that this layer
of looking-glasses spoken of in my text did
double work; it not only furnished the water
in which the priests washed themselves, but it
also on its shining polished surface pointed
out the spots of pollution outlie face which
needed ablution. Now, my Christian friends,
as everything in that ancient tabernacle was
suggestive of religious truth and for the most
part positively symbolical of truth, I shall take
that laver of looking-glasses spoken of in the
text as all-suggesiive of the gospel, which
first shows us our sius as in a mirror, and then
washes them away by divine ablution.
“Oh, happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!”
I have to say that this is the only looking
glass in which a man can see bin.self as he is.
There are some mirrors that flatter the fea
tures and make you look better than you are.
Then t here are other mirrors that distort your
features and make you look worse than you
are. But I want to tell you that this looking
glass of the gospel shows a man just as he is.
When the priests entered the ancient taber
nacle one glance at the burnished side of this
layer showed them their need of cleansing; so
this gospel shows the soul its need of divine
washing. “All have sinned and come shortof
the glory of God.” That is one showing. “All
we, like sheep, have gone astray.” That is
another showing. “From the crown of the
head to the sole of the foot there is no health
in us.” That is another showing. The
world calls these defects imperfections or
eccentricities, or erratic behavior or “wild
oats” or “high living,” but the gospel calls
them sin, transgressiou, filth—the abomina
ble thing that God hates. It was just one
glance at that mirror that made Paul cry out:
“Oh wretched man that I am. who shall de
liver me from the body of this death?” and
that made David cry out: “Purge me with
hyssop, and I shall be clean,” and that made
Martin Luther cry out: ‘Oh, my sins, my
sins.” lam not talking about bad habits
Y’ou and I do not need any Bible to tell us that
bad habits are wrong, that blasphemy and
evil speaking are wrong. But I am talking
of a sinful nature, the source of all bad
thoughts as well asof all bad actions. The
Apostle Paul calls their roll in the first chap
ter of Romans. They are a regiment of death
*ncamplDg around every heart, holding it in
a tyrannv from which nothing but the grace
of God cau deliver it.
Here, for instance, is ingratitude. Who lias
not been guilty of that sin? If a man hand us
a glass of water, we say, “Thank you.” But
for the ten thousand mercies that wc are
every day receiving from the hand of God
how little expression of gratitude—for thirst
slaked, for hunger fed, for shelter, and sun
shine, and sound sleep and clothes to wear
how little thanks! 1 suppose there are men
fifty years of age who have never vet been
down on their knees in thanksgiving’ to God
for His goodness. Beside that ingratitude of
our hearts, there is pride. Who has not felt
it? Pride that will not submit to Goo, that
wants its own way—a nature that prefers
wrong sometimes instead of right, that pre
fers to wallow instead of to rise up. I
do not care what you call that.
I am not going to quarrel with any theolo
logian or any man who makes pretensions
to theology. Ido not care whether you call it
“total depravity” or something else." I simply
make the announcement of God’s word,
affirmed and confirmed by the experience of
hundreds of people iu this house. The im
agination of the heart of man is evil from
youth. “There is none that doeth good; no,
notone." We have a bad nature. We were
born with it. We got it from our parents;
they got it from their parents. Our thoughts
are wrong. Our action is wrong. Our whole
life is obnoxious to God before conversion,
and after conversion not one good thing in us
but ttiat which the grace of God has planted
and fostered. “Well,” you say, “I can’t be
lieve that to be so.” Ah, my dear brother,
that is because you have never looked into
this laver of looking glasses.
If you could catch a glimpse of your natu
ral heart before God you would cry out in
amazement and alarm. The very first thing
this gospel does is to cut down out pride and
self-sufficiency. If a man does not feel his
lost and ruined condition before God he does
not want any gospel. I think the reason that
there are so few conversions in this day is be
cause the tendency of the preaching is to make
men belieye that they are pretty good any
how—quite clever.only wanting a little fitting
up—a few touches of divine grace and then
you will lie all right, instead of proclaiming
the broad, deep truth that Pay6on and Baxter
and Whitfield thundered to a race tremnling
on the verge of infinite and eternal disaster.
“Now,” says someone, "can this reallv be true?
Have we all gone astray? Is there no good
in us?” In Hampton Court Isawaroom where
the four walls were covered with looking
glasses and It made no differened which way
you looked you saw yourself. And
so it is in this gospel of Christ. If
you once step within Us fell precincts
you will find your whole character reflected,
every feature of moral deformity, every spot
of moral taint, if I understand’the wont of
God, its first announcement is that we are
lost. I care not, my brother, how magnifi
cently you may have been born or what may
have been your heritage or ancestry, you are
lost by reason of sin. “But,” you say, “what
is the use of all this—of showing a man’s
faults when he can’t get rid of them?” None!
What was the use of that burnished surface
to this laver of looking-glasses spoken of in
the text, if it only showed the spots on the
countenance and the need of washing and
tLere was nothing to wash with? Glory be to
God, I find that this layer of looking-glasses
was filled with fresh water every morning,
and the priest no sooner looked on its burn
ished side and saw his neeil of cleansing than
he washed and was clean—glor ous tvpe of
the gospel of my Izjrd Jesus, that first shows a
man his sin and then washes it all away!
I want you to notice that this laver in which
the priest washed—the laver of looking
glasses—was tilled with fresh water every
morning. Ihe servants of the tabernacle
brought the water in buckets, and poured it
into this laver. So it is with the gospel of
Jesus Christ. It has a fresh salvation every
day. It is not a stagnant pool filled with ac
cumulated corruptions, it is living water
which is brought from the eternal rock to
wash away the sins of yesteiday—of one mo
ment ago. “Oh,” says someone. “i was a
Christian 20 years ago!” That does not mean
anything to me. What are you now? We are
uot talkiug. my brother, about pardon 10
years ago, but about pardon now—a fresh
salvation. Suppose a time of war should
come, and I could show the government that
I had been loyal to it 12 years ago would that
excuse me from taking an oath of allegiance
now? Suppose you ask me about rav physical
health, and I should say I was well 15 years
ago—that does not say how I am now.
The gospel of Jesus Christ comes
and demands present allegiance, present
fealty, present moral health; and yet how
many Christians there are seeking to live en
tirely in past experience, who seem to have
no experience of present mercy and pardon!
When I was on the sea anil there came up a
great storm, and officers ami crew and pas
sengers all thought we must go down, 1 began
to think of my life insurance, and whether, if
I were taken away, my family would be
cared for; and then I thought: Is the prem
ium paid up? And I said yes. Then I felt
comfortable. Yet there are men who in
religious matters are looking back to past in
surance. They have let it run out and they
have nothing for the present, no hope nor
pardon—falling back on the old insurance
policy of ten, twenty, thirty years ago. If I
want to find out how a friend feels toward
me, do 1 go to the draw* r and find some old
yellow letters written to me ten or twelve
years ago? no; I go to the letter that was
stamped the day before yesterday in the post
office and I find how he fee’s toward me. It
is not in regard to oid communications we
bad with Jesus Christ, it is communications
we have now. Are we not in sympathy with
Him to-day and is He not in sympa hy with
us? Do not spend so much of your time in hunt
ing in the wardrobe forthe old worn-out shoes
of Christian profession. Come now and lake
the glittering robe of Christ’s righteousness
from the Saviour's hand. You say you w e e
plunged in the fountain of the Saviour’s
mercy a quarter of a century ago. That is
nothing to me. 1 tell you to wash now in this
laver of looking-glasses and have your soul
made clean.
1 notice also in regard to this laver of look
ing-glasses spoken of in the text, that tiie
priests always washed both hands and feet.
The water came down in spouts so that, w illi
out leaving any filth in tho basiu, the priests
washed both hands and feet, so the gospel
of Jesus Christ must touch the very extremi
ties of our moral nature. A man car.no* fence
off a small part of his soul and sav: “Now,
this is to be a garden in w’liich I will have all
the fruits and flowers of v hristian character,
while outside it shall be the devil’s com
mons.” No, no; it will bo all garden or none.
1 sometimes hear people say, "He is a very
good man, except iu politics.” Then he is
not a good man. A religion that will not take
a man through an autumn election will not
be worth anything to him in June, July and
August. They say lie is a useful sort of
a man, but he overreaches in a bargain,
I deny the statement. If he is a Ch istian
anywhere he will be one in his business. It
is very easy to be good in the prayer meeting
with surroundings kindly and blessed, but not
so easy to be a Christian behind the counter
when by one skillful twitch of the goods you
can hide a flaw in the silk so that the cus
tomer cannot see it. Jt is very easy to he a
Christian with a psalm book in your hand and
a Bible in your lap, but not so easy when you
can go into a shop and falsely tell the mer
chant you can get those goods at a cheaper
rate in another store, so that he will sell them
to you cheaper than he can afford to sell them.
The fact is, the religion ot Christ is ail perva
sive. If you rent a house you expect full pos
session of it. You say, “Where are the keys
of those rooms? If f pay for this whole house
I want possession of those rooms.” Ar.d the
grace of God when it comes to a soul takes
full possession of a man or goes away aud
takes no possession. It will ransack every
room in the heart, every room in the life,
from cellar to attic, touching the very ex
tremities of his nature. The priests washed
hands and feet.
I remark further that this laver of looking
glasses spoken of in the text was a very large
laver. I always thought from the fact that
so mnnv washed there, anil also from the fact
that Solomon afterwards, when he copied that
laver in the temple, built it on a very large
scale, that it was large; and so suggestive of
the gospel of Jesus Christ anil salvation by
him—vast in its provisions. The whole world
may come ami wash In this laver and be
clean Ido not now think of a single passage
that says a small sinner mav be saved, hut I
do think of passages that say a great sinner
may be saved. If there be sins only faintly
hued, just a little tinged, so faintly colored
that you can hardly see them, there is no
special pardon promised in the Bible for these
Bins; but if they be glaring red like crimson,
then they shall be as snow. Now, mv brother,
1 do not state this to put a premium upon
great iniquity. I merely say this to encourage
that man in this house who feels he is so far
gone from God that there is no mercy for him.
1 want to tell him there is a good chance. Why,
Paul was a murderer; he assisted
at the execution of Stephen; and
yet Caul was saved. The dying thief
did everything had. The dying thief
was saved. It is a vast laver! Go and tell
everybody to come and wash in it. Let'them
come up from the penitentiaries and wash
away their crimes. Let them come up from
the alms-houses anil wash away their poverty.
Let them come up from their graves and wash
away their death. If there be any one so
worn out in sin that he cannot get up to the
laver, you will take hold of his head and put
your arms around him, and I will take hold
of his feet, and we will plunge him in this
glorious Bethesda—the vast laver of God’s
mercy and salvation. In Solomon’s Temple
there were ten lavers. and one molten sea—
ibis great reservoir in the midst of the tempie
filled with water—these lavers and this molten
sea adorned with flowers of palm branch ami
oxen and lions and cherubim. This fountain
of God’s mercy is a vaster molten sea than
that. It is adorned not with palm branehe
but with the wood of the cross; not with
cherubim, but with the wings of the Holy
Ghost; and around its great rim all the race
may come and wash in the molten sea. I was
reading of Alexander the Great, who, when
he was very thirsty and standing at the head
of his army, hail brought to him a cup of
water. He looked off upon his host
and said: “I cannot drink this, my
men are all thirsty,” and he
dashed it to the ground. Blessed be God.
There is enough water for all the host—enough
for Captains and host. “Whosoever will may
come an*l take of the water of life freely”—a
laver broad as the earth, high as the heavens
and deep as hell.
But I notice also in regard to this laver of
looking-glasses Bpoken of in the text that the
washing in it was imperative and not op
tional. When the priests come into llie tab
ernacle—you will find this in the thirtieth
chapter of Exodus—God tells them that they
must wash in that laver or die. The priest
might have said: “Can’t 1 wash elsewhere?
I washed In the laver at home and now you
want me to wash here.” “No matter wheth
er or not you have washed before,” God says.
“Wash in this laver or die.” “But,” says the
priest, “there is water just as clean as this—
why won’t that do?” “Wash here,” says God,
“or die.” So it is with the gospel of Christ—
it is imperative. There is only this al
ternative; keep our sins and
perish or wash them away and live. “But,”
says someone, “Why could not God have
made more ways to Heaven than one?” I do
not know, but lie could have made a half
dozen. I know he made but one. You say:
“Why not have a long line of boats running
from hereto Heaven?” I cannot say, but I
simply know that there is only one boat. You
say: “Are there not trees as luxuriant as
that on Calvary—more luxuriant, for that had
reither buds nor blossoms; it was stripped
and barked?” Y’es, yes: there have been
taller trees than that’and more luxuriant,
but the only path to Heaven is under that one
tree. Instead of quarreling because there are
not more ways, let us be thankful to God
there is one—one name given unto men
whereby we can be saved-one laver in which
all the world may wash. So you see what
a radiant gospel this is I preach.
I do not know how a man
can stand stolidly and present it, for it is
such an exhilarant gospel. It Is not a mere
whim or caprice: it is life or death; it is
heaven or hell. You come before your child
and you have a present in your hand. You
put your hands uehind your back and say:
“Which hand will you take?” In one hand
there is a treasure, in the other there is not.
The child blindly chooses. But God, our
father, does not do that way with us. lie
spreads out both hands and says: “Now, this
shall be very plain. In that hand are pardon
and peace and life and the treasures of
heaven; in tnat hand are punishment and
sorrow and woe. Choose, choose for your
selves!” “He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall
be damned.”
O my tlear friends, I wish I could this mo
ment coax you to accept this gospel. If vou
could just take one look in this laver of look
ing glasses spoken of in the text vou would
begin now spiritual ablution. You will not
feel insulted, will you. when I tell you that
you are a lost soul without pardon? Christ
offers all the generosity of his nature to you
to-day. The love of Christ—l dare not to
ward the close of my lerrnon begin to tell
about it. The love of Christ! I)o not talk to
me about a mountain: it is higher than that.
Do not talk to me about a sea; it is deeper
than that.
An artist in his dreams saw such a splendid
dream of the transfiguration of Christ that he
awoke and seized his pencil and said: “Let
me paint this and die.” Oil, I have seen the
glories of Christ! I have beheld something of
the beauty of that great sacriflee ou Calvary,
and I have sometimes felt I would be willing
to give anything if I might just sketch before
you the wonders of that sacriflee. I would
like to do it while I live and I would like to do
it when I die. “Let me paint this and die?”
He comes along weary and worn, his face wet
with tears, his brow crimson with blood, and
he lies down on Calvary for you. No, I mis
take. Nothing was as comfortable as that.
A stone on Calvary would have made
a soft pillow for the dying head of
Christ. Nothing so comfortable as that. He
does not lie down to die; hestands up to die;
his spiked hands outstretched as if to embrace
a world. Oh, what a hard end for these feet
that have traveled all over Judea on minis
tries of mercy. What a hard end for those
hands that have wiped away tears and bonnd
uu broken hearts. Very hard, O dying Lamb
of God! Anck yet there are those here now
who do not love Thee. They say : “What is
all that to me? What if he does weep and
groan and die, I don’t want Him.” Lord
Jesus Christ, they will not uelp Thee down
from the cross! Ihe soldiers will come and
they will tear Thee down from the cross and
put their arms around Thee and lower Thee
into the tomb. But they will not help.
They see nothing to move them. O. dying
Christ, turn on them Thine eves of affection
now and see if they will not change their
minds.
And that is all for you! Oh, can you rot
love Him? Come around this laver, old and
young. It is so burnished you can see your
sins and so deep you can wash them all away.
O mourner, here bathe your bruisod soul,
and sick one. here cool your hot temples in
this laver! Peace! Do not cry any mere, dear
soul. Pardon for all thy sins, comfort for ali thy
afflictions. The black cloud that hung thun
dering over Sinai has floated above Calvlry
and burst into the shower of a Saviour's
tears.
1 saw in Kensiugton Garden, London, a pic
ture of \\ aterloo a good while after the battle
bad passed, and the grass had grown all over
the field. There was a dismounted cannon,
and a lamb had come up from the pasture and
lay sleeping in the mouth of that cannon. So
the artist had represented it—a most sugges
tive thing. Then I thought how the war be
tween God and the soul had ended, and in
stead of the announcement, “The wages of
sin is death.” taere came the words, “My
peace I give unto thee.” And amid the bat
teries of the law, that had once quaked with
the fiery fhaii of death, I beheld the Lamb
of God, which taketb away the sius of the
world.
FIRE IN A 31 AD HOUSE.
Patients Roasted Alive In Illinois at
Dawn—Other Alarms of the Day.
Kankakee, 111., Jan. 18.—The South
infirmary of the Illinois Eastern Hospital
forthe Insane burned this morning at
4:25 o’clock. The fire originated in the
furnace room and had obtained strong
headway before it was discovered. The
wood work of the building being of
Southern pine it burned very rapidly.
The building was occupied by forty-five
patients, six attendants and one night
watchman. Seventeen patients in all are
missing. Thirteen bodies have already been
recovered, burned beyond recognition.
All of the patients were infirm and in
curable. The bed-ridden ones were
rescued first, and those who were
able to help themselves did not
realize their danger in time, and they
were the ones who perished. The attend
ants lost all their personal effects and
many narrowly escaped with their lives,
one of them having to tie bed clothes to
gether to escape from a window to the
ground. There were no facilities for put
ting out the fire, the State not having made
any appropriations for the purpose. The
building was new, and cost about SIO,OOO.
It is a total loss. The following are the
names of those who perished:
Henry Brown, of Rock Island; H. W.
Belden, of Galesburg; George Bennett, of
Morris; Joseph Colbert, of Chicago; Or
lando Ellis, of Pontiac; J. W. Galloway,
of Macoupin; Thomas Hickey, of Spring
field; Matthew Hague, of Chebanse; T.
Hacklier, of Stevenson county; Thomas
Herely, of Chicago; John Johnson, of Ver
milion; Michael Jordan, of Chicago; J.
Nathan, of Chicago; A. Runyard, of Win
nebago county; C. Strots, of Chicago;
J. W. Tyler, of Chicago; F. Weymouth, of
Putnam countv.
Thomas Herely is the brother of State
Senator Herely.
DISCOVERY OF THE FLAMES.
The building destroyed was a two
story stone and brick structure, with no
wood work about it except the floors and
stairways. It was completed last
August. Twenty-three of the patients
were on the first floor, and twenty-two
on the second. Attendants Brown, Rose,
and the latter’s wife, were sleeping on
the second floor. Attendants Reid, Wil
liams and fireman Labarge slept on the
first floor. The building was heated by
hot air furnaces. It was twelve degrees
below zero when watchman Cobb
discovered smoke issuing from the
floor immediately above the furnace.
He at once awoke the attendants.
The smoke was drawn through the hot
air flues anil along the halls and stair
ways to all parts of the building. The
fire spread so rapidly that all efforts to
save the building, in the absence of a fire
alarm to summon help and for want of
facilities to quench the flames, were found
to be in vain. Attendant Reid began
dragging and carrying out patients.
Many patients, clad in their night clothes
only, rushed from the bitter cold air back
into the building. Reid, at the risk of his
own life, struggled on till 21 of the 23
patients on his floor were rescued, when
he became exhaust’d and was carried
away. On the second floor Attendant
Rose and wife heard the alarm and es
caped down the stairway just before it
fell.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPES.
Attendant Brown was awakened by the
smoke and attempted to save a patient in
an adjoining room, but failed, and sliding
down by the aid of a sheet from his win
dow jumped to the ground. Superintend
ent R. S. Dewey reached the scene, and
with ladders climbed to the second story
wiifllows, smashed them and was able to
rescue some of the patients by this means.
Almost all of the patients refused to co
operate in the efforts being made to save
them, and were only rescued by being
dragged from the flames and held from
returning. A marvelous escape was that
of an inmate who fell with the second
floor, striking the burning derbis over the
furnace and was bounded through a win
dow to the ground uninjured. The re
mains of the bodies of 12 patients have
been taken irom the ruins burned to frag
ments, only to be identified nv tbe location
in which they were found. The Coroner’s
inquest was held this afternoon, at which
Superintendent Dewey testified that he
had asked the Legislature two years ago
for $2,500 to protect these detached wards
from lire, and that SI,OOO was allowed, all
of which was used in mains and hydrants.
That amount, was insufficient to answer
the purpose. He suggested that the floors
above the hot-air furnaces be changed, it
being shown in the evidence that it was
only four inches from the outside and ten
inches from the inside of the furnace to a
pine joist. He gave two reasons for the
great number of deaths—first, the patients
were almost allsuffocated by smoke before
they could be reached, and, second,
the inability or unwillingness of
insane patients to try and help
themselves. The remains of the
bodies were, with one exception,
represented simply by a handful of
charred ashes. The entire remains of 10
victims were spread on a small table two
feet square. Friends are arriving in
search of lost ones. Tire scenes on their
arrival and view of the charred remains
were very heart rending. Telegrams are
pouring in from all parts of the State
from parties asking as to the safety of
their friends among the 1,500 inmates of
the hospital. The Coroner’s jury, which
adjourned until to-morrow afternoon, is
investigating as to whether the lurnaces
were defective. The fact that there is no
general tire alarm between the various
buildings of the hospital or any system of
water works to protect life and property
there accounts largely for the very large
loss of life.
A STORE BURNED AT BRUNSON.
Brunson, S. C., Jan. 18.—The store of
J. P. Lovett, Jr., including the residence,
was consumed by fire at 1 o’clock this
morning. Nothing was saved but life,
and that almost miraculously. The fire
is supposed to have been the work ot an
incendiary.
A SUGAR REFINERY BURNED.
Boston, Jan. 18.— About 9 o’clock to
night fire broke out in the Bay State Susrar
Refinery and spread to the Standard Dye
Works, both of which were almost totally
destroyed. The loss is very heavy, but
the property is well insured. No figures
are obtainable to-night.
FIRE ON A STEAMER.
Baltimore, Jan. 18.—The steamship
Benwell Tower, which sailed hence for
Liverpool yesterday, returned to-day with
her cargo on fire. She lies at Locust
Point, and the work of extinguishing the
tire is going on.
A CHINESE TOWN DESTROYED.
San Francisco, Jan. 18.— The town of
Honghoa, near Hong Kong, China, has
been completely destroyed by an incen
diary fire. Many lives were lost.
Cleveland's Temporary Residence.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 18.—President
elect Cleveland has had several callers at
his temporary house on WiHett street to
day, but none of national importance.
Mr. Hall, of the Democratic Committee
from lowa, and Horace Hurlbut, receiver
of the Chicago Times, were among them.
Mr. Hurlbut’s mission is said to have
been to induce the President-elect,
through promise of patronage, to aid the
Democrats in breaking the Illinois Legis
lative dead-lock. If such was the object
of his visit it has probably been unsuc
cessful. Mr. Cleveland will probably
visit New York for two or three davs early
in February, but with that exception he
now expects to remain in Albany till he
leaves for Washington in March.
nivd in a Church Pew.
Taunton, Mass., Jan. 18.—Hon. Har
rison Tweed dropped dead in his pew at
the Winthrop Baptist Church during this
morning’s service. He was State Senator
in 1868-9, Presidential elector in 1873, and
a member of the Governor’s council in
1876, 1877 and 1878.

New Orleans, Jaa. 16.—The great ex
position is about in shape. It is cettainly
far greater in its proportions and grander
in its displays than any one of its promo
ters had any idea it would be when the
enterprise was undertaken. Never before
iu this or any other country has there been
such a display of the industrial wealth ot
the world. Those who see this exposition
will certainly never regret the money and
time spent in seeing it. There have been
criticisms cf the management, but criti
cisms were to be expected. It is not pos
sible to please everybody in any undertak
ing. When it is seen what has been
accomplished and what difficulties have
been overcome the tair.minded will dispose
rather to praise than to blame the man
agement. The want of money during
the past tew weeks has been very marked
in more ways than one. The citizens of
New Orleans—the rich men—have not
given the management the support they
ought to have given it. A good many of
them have been disposed to hold back,
criticise and predict failure. The secrecy
which has marked the proceedings of the
management has been the occasion of
dissatisfaction. A good many who ought
to have subscribed have not done so be
cause thev have not been taken into
the confidence of the managers and told
each day the amount of the gate receipts.
The truth probably is that the gate re
ceipts, up to within a clay or two, have
been so small that the managers were
ashamed to publish them. They were
afraid, perhaps, that the truth would
have had a dampening effect on the Ex
position. It is reported that the gate
money on many days has uot been above
SI2OO. The exact receipts, however, will
be forthcoming in a day or two, and then
it will appear that the daily receipts have
been far below the actual daily expenses.
IN HORTICULTURAL HALL
the display of fruits and plants
thing wonderful. One could spend sev
eral days in this building without becom
ing tired of it. To attempt any elaborate
description would require columns of
space. Mention might be made of Ar
kansas—soo plates of apples, embracing
200 varieties, and remarkable for their
size; Kansas—3oo plates of apples, 120
varieties, extremely large, coming from
all parts of the State; Mississippi—
grapes, apples, pears aud other fruit;
Kentucky—3oo plates of apples, 150 va
rieties, of fine quality; Missouri—l,ooo
plates of apples, 200 varieties, large and
beautiful. Of the foreign exhibits France
has 400 varieties of apples, and 260 varie
ties of pears were sent by the Orleans
Horticultural Society and the French
National Horticultural Society. Not
withstanding the long trip over the sea,
the fruit is well preserved and of high
flavor. Russia also sends apples, large,
bright, and in good condition.
FLORIDA’S EXHIBITS.
To show what is being done is the aim
of Florida’s attractive exhibit at the ex
position. One conspicuous object in the
exhibit is a large alligator. Visitors gen
erally look upon that as something that
should be bidden from view in represent
ing the products of a State. But it rep
resents an important industry. Alligator
skins are manufactured into’ all kinds of
fancy and useful articles made of leather.
One firm shipped 70,000 alligator skins
Irom Florida last year. Oranges, of course,
are conspicuous in the exhibit. ’There
are about one dozen varieties of oranges
represented, from the little red mandarin
to the huge, yellmv gra[>e fruit and shad
docks, besides other tropical fruit.
There is a good display- ot cocoanuts,
which is a growing industry on the islands
near Key West. Over 300,000 nuts were
planted last year. The sponge interest in
that sectiop brings in a revenue of from
$120,000 to $175,000 annually, and the to
bacco trade, which has built up a city at
Key West with millions of invested capi
tal, is well known in connection with the
recent treaty discussion. While the
supply of food fishes ofl' the Long Island
and New England coast seems to be de
creasing, the reverse is true of Florida,
where the catch is annually increasing.
Corn and oats and other cereals, various
fruits aud vegetables, are included in the
display. There are valuable ores found
in Florida, some specimens of which arc
in the exhibits. A large piece of iron ore
which assays 85 per cent, iron represents
a mine which will be worked when trans
portation is furnished.
The increase in railroad building is one
thing that has lolloived Northern immi
gration. In lour years 1,050 miles of
railroad have been built in the State. The
Savannah, Florida and Western Road has
on exhibition a relief map twenty-five
feet in length showing the entire penin
sula with its present railroad and steam
boat lines. It is a skillful and interesting
piece of work, and presents at a glance all
the geographical features of the State.
The forests ol' Florida are one of its
sources of wealth. There are 200 varie
ties of wood on exhibition, arranged so as
to show the bark, wood, polished and un
polished, and foliage of each variety.
This exhibit, novel in design, is the most
instructive of its kind at the exposition.
The exhibit is to include a house made of
palmetto trees without the use of nails or
screws, and one made of vellow pine in
modern style.
One interesting feature of the display
is devoted to women’s work, and is under
the care of Miss S. M. Birch, the President
of the Southern Conservatory of Fine Arts
at Lake de Funiak.
WHAT SOUTH CAROLINA IS SHOWING.
South Carolina occupies about 10,000
square feet on the east side of the State
and government building in a sort of
colony with North Carolina and Florida.
There is nothing groveling or humble
looking about this high-spirited little
State’s exhibit. On the contrary it stands
up boldly and lifts its head, or, its three
heads loftily and proudly. Three heads
do not make it a Cerberus or devil of a
dog show, but they are a trinity of indus
try and wealth. These heads are three
pinnacles or lofty structures. One is a
pyramid twenty-eight feet high and twen
ty feet square, built of the phosphate rock
found in the earth near Charleston and in
other of the coast sections of the State and
largely manufactured into fertilizers by
grinding. The base is composed of large
pieces of the rock. On a cornice that runs
around the base are glass jars con
taining the ground or powdered phos
phate, and around the bottom are sacks
of the prepared fertilizer. Above the cor
nice rises the pyramid or obelisk of the
crude rock. The top of the pyramid is
surmounted with a staff and banner with
the following device: “South Carolina
Phosphate Industry.” The four faces of
the pyramid each bear a shield contain
ing inscriptions showing the value anu
extent of the industry. On one shield is
the legend: “Annual shipment of phos
phate rock 400,000 tons.” On another is,
“Total value of phosphate mined per an
num. $2,500,000.” On another is, “Annual
shipment of fertilizers, 155,000 tons,” and
on the fourth shield, “Total value of fer
tilizers manufactured per annum, $3,-
000,000.” Surrounding this immense
pyramid of the great mineral wealth of
the State are placed four large glass cases
containing large and valuable collections
of phosphate fossils, loaned by Messrs.
Willis & Scanlan, of Charleston! In front
of the pyramid, towards the entrance, are
four sections of earth and rock, showing
the strata of the phosphate as it appears
in the earth when dug from the mines.
The next pyramid which raises itself is
made of rolls of jute bagging, in the centre
ol the State’s manufactures.
The bagging is from the Charleston
Bagging Manufacturing Company. On
either side are thlarge collection of the
manufactured products ot the factories
of the State. In this department is also a
very handsome exhibit from the Charles
ton Cotton Exchange. Then back of these
come the magnificent display of the woods
of the State, handsomely polished and ar
ranged on shelves and pyramids. The
palmetto is particularly prominent.
The centre of the agricultural exhibit
of the State, which embraces many sam
ples of cotton, rice, corn, small grains,
grasses and fruits, is occupied by a lofty
and beautiful pagoda, crowned with a
dome. It is covered with an artistically
ornamental thatch of the stalks of various
grains and grasses arranged according to
color in patterns. The interior of the
dome is lined with blue merino, and
presents a fine effect. The pagoda is a
prominent object in the hall, and is the
third head of the State industrial trinity
of mining, agriculture and manufactures.
In the mineral department, which is
dominated by the rock pyramid, four large
glass cases, specially made to contain the
fossils of South Carolina, have been
2 laced in position, and the large and
andsome fossil collections of Mr. C. A.
Scanlan and Major £. Willis, o Charles
ton, have been carefully arranged in
them. These fossils, which illustrate
with great completeness a special chap
ter in the tertiary age or American geolo
gy, embrace both marine and terrestrial
specimens. There are monstrous sharks’
teeth, and the bones of the great sea liz
ards. as well as the teeth of the megalony x
and other great land animals of that era.
They are in a fine state ol preservation.
A case of stone implements ot the an
cient inhabitants of various periods, from
York county, loaned by Dr. Babcock, of
Chester, and the other containing a rich
and varied collection of minerals of South
Carolina, are also in position.
A huge upright case containing speci
mens of the fishes of South Carolina,
handsomely prepared by Mr. Huske, the
Fish Commissioner of the State, has been
placed in the location intended for it and
is a striking feature of the exhibit. A
similar case contains a very valuable col
lection of specimens from the Charleston
Museum.
WORK FOR NEW ORLEANS LADIES.
The sum of $3,000 is needed imrm diate
ly to pay the expenses of unpacking, ar
ranging, making show-cases and putting
the exhibits up In an attractive shape in
the women’s department. The ladies of
New Orleans are appealed to to raise this
sum. Every dollar contributed or raised
for this purpose by the ladies of New Or
leans will be placed in the hands of Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe, of Boston, and doubt
less will be judiciously expended. This
money is necessary and must be raised,
and it seems to be conceded by the male
management of the exposition that it
must be raised by the ladies.
A GUATEMALA BIRD.
The Republic of Guatemala has added to
its exhibits several stuffed specimens of
the bird called Quetzal. This richly
dressed and gorgeous-plumaged bird Is
the emblem of liberty and is thus repre
sented by the natives of Guatemala. It
never lives after the plucking of a single
feather. It never lives a captive, for as
soon as caught it pulls out its own leath
ers and expires. It is certainly one ol
the most brilliant and most beautiful
creatures that wings through the air.
The Dody is shaped similar to that of a
parrot. The tail feathers are long, feath
ering down to a point, and of a deep
bright green, quivering with gold and
silver shadings when sweeping along in
the sunlight; the short, under tail leatl*-
ers are of a glossy black, with a few pure
white; the back is of a deep green color;
the upper wing feathers are green, the
lower black and very glossy; breast of a
bright red; top-knot green, tipped yvith
light red; beak bright yellow and of a
parrot formation. It is a swift flyer, and
inhabits the mountainous regions of
Guatemala.
THE GENIUS OF INDUSTRY.
In the section of the Patent Office, in
the government building, there has been
unveiled a gigantic allegorical painting
representing the progress and genius of
peace. It was painted by Mr. Alfred'
Fredericks, of Washington, D. C. It
shows Minerva, goddess of wisdom and
patroness of all the industrial arts and
sciences, seated on a throne. At her left
hand sits an owl, her chosen bird, repre
senting wisdom. Under it, on the panel
of the throne, is sculptured a serpent, em
blematic of subtlety and knowledge. On
the right side of the throne are sculp
tured a sheaf of Jove’s thunderbolts,
representing electricity. At the right
hand ol the goddess stands
Vulcan, the Olympian blacksmith, lean
ing on the throne and balancing a globe on
a lever, suggesting the poising ot the
earth in its orbit in the heavens. Near
him is his blazing forge and ponderous
hammer. At the foot of the throne the
infant Mercury is seated, playing upon a
harp he has constructed by adjusting the
branching horns of an ibex to tbe shell oi
a tortoise, and stretching over It strings
of sinew. Here are shown the beginning
of the mechanic and fine arts like the
time when Tubal Cain the smith, and
Ju’oal the father of music, as related in
the Scriptures, commenced to practice
their arts. The picture is fine in drawing
and pleasing in color, and as an allegory
is certainly worthy ot attention.
BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES AND BEETLES.
No visitor to the exposition should fail
to see the magnificent collection of but
terflies exhibited in the Texas section
As might be expected the butterflies of
that great State, like many of its other
products, would be numerous and varied
in lorm, but no imagination can con
ceive the gorgeous and resplendent colors
ot many of these specimens. They must
be seen to be appreciated. There are
among them day and night moths of many
strange varieties. Some, the propagators
or worms damaging to vegetation, and
others of varieties that are apparently
only beautiful. The collection, which
embraces hundred of varieties, has in it
thousands of specimens. They were
gathered and prepared by Mr. L. Ileigel
brodt, of Bastrop, Tex., who also exhib
its a very fine collection of other insects,
especially beetles.
Another fine collection of insects is in
the Maryland exhibit and has been men
tioned previously. The cabinets contain
some 200,000 species made up of two col
lections, one of 130,000 by Prof. Otto Lug
gar, and one of some 70,000 by Prof. P. It.
Uhler. Ihe Maryland butterflies make
up some very handsome exhibits, one
showing a large frame under glass dis
playing the arms oi the United States
and another an eagle, all in perfect form
and beautiful colors, the tints being no
other than the butterflies themselves.
These beautiful specimens of art were
made by Mr. C. Eigenbrodt.
A third frame contains the arms of the
State of Marylaud, beautifully wrought
in butterflies, also by Mr. L. Graf. No
entomologist can contemplate all the fine
displays without a thrill of delight at
these displays of “bugologieal” wealth,
and the non-professional observer who
has merely an eye to color cannot fail to
admiie these collections o! the brilliant
jeweled and silk-attired denizens ot the
insect world.
AN EXPOSITION MEDAL.
Avery neat medal commemorative of
the great World’s Industrial and Cotton
Centennial Exposition has been coined
from white metal. The medal is some
what larger than a silver dollar, and
bears upon its face a representation in
relief of the main building, clear cut and
distinct in all the lines. The inscription
reads: “The World’s Industrial and
Cotton Centennial Exposition, New Or
leans, 1884-85. The main building 1,378 x
905 feet.” On the reverse side are shown
the remaining four buildings, the govern
ment building, horticultural hall, art
gallery, and factories and mills, each
with its dimensions appended, while in
the centre is the American eagle. The
whole is very pretty and forms an attract
ive souvenir, both on account of the
beauty and the information contained on
the faces. The medal was made at Stutt
gart, Germany.
VIRGINIA’S NATURAL BRIDGE.
Virginia is to have a model of the
natural bridge, which has ever lieen the
natural wonder of the State, and on which
legend says the “Father of His Countrv”
once carved his name at the peril of his
life. Some days ago General Manager
Axtell, of the Richmond and Allegheny
Railroad, visited this city, and on exam
ining the exposition, expressed great re
gret and chagrin at the fact that his road
was in no way represented. He, how
ever, determined to do whatever was
possible to repair the error, and the model
of the natural bridge will form part of the
display made by this road.
PHOTOGRAPHING A CYCLONE.
On Aug. 28, 1884, a cyclone passed near
the town ol Howard, Miner county, E>r
kota. It was about 4 o’clock in the afier
noon, and it was in sight for some time,
long enough to be photographed by Mr.
F. 'N. Robinson, of that place. This is
said to be the only instance known where
a cyclone was photographed, and the pic
ture shows a gigantic and black column,
like the trunk of a titanic tree,
spreading far up in the skv into
a vast extent ot cloud foliage. This
terrible tree stands out black and formi
dable against the bright sky, while the
upper atmosphere is filled with rounded
masses of clouds which outline themselves
in monstrous grotesque faces against the
sky. A cloud of dust enveloped the foot
of the cyclonic tree trunk, and the vorti
cies or whirling movement of this great
meteoric mass is indicated by the globose
shapes of the central body of the storm
cloud and the spiral wreaths that seem to
attend It. The photograph is exhibited
in the Dakota section in government
building, and is a strange-looking picture.
One can almost see the evil genius of the
cyclone in the wild and terrible faces
seen in its maelstrom of driving clouds.
The management of the exposition
have had one warning that they cannot
afford to cut down the special officers
who are guarding the exhibits. On
Thursday morning Albert Uebele, an ex
hibitor in the Gorman section of the main
exposition building, discovered that his
showoases had been robbed of nearly all
their contents. Mr. Uebele is a jeweler
from W urtemburg, and his exhibit con
sisted of a fine collection of oxydized sil
ver ornaments, a number of cat’s-eyes,
tiger’s-eyes, and other gems valued at
$1,006. Mr, Uebele spent the day in
( TRIOR *lO A TEAK.I
i 5 DENTS A OOPT. )
counting up the loss, with a view of pre
senting a claim to the exposition manage
ment to make him good. The aftair is
only another outcome of the unfortunate
financial circumstances of the manage
ment. Capt. Farrell was originally hired
to place 230 men on the grounds as patrol
men and detectives. When a fortnight
ago it became apparent that the manage
ment could not sustain this expense, the
force was cut down to 120 men, the num
ber u w doing duty. The result is that
all tL • side aisles are not only unlighted
at night, but are uuguarded, except
where individual exhibitors have private
watchmen. The opportunities for theft
have been such as to occasion wonder
that none have occurred before.
lo make the matter worse an entirely
Inadequate system of employing night
help, sweepers and cleaners, has pre
vailed, and it is certain that man}' bad
characters have crept into this service,
the police claim to have recognized sev
eral noted thieves in the lot, but say they
nave been unable to interfere success
fully.
One of the heads of departments is re
sponsible for the statement that a number
ol slips of paper were picked up early
this morning on the floor of the main
building hearing the inscription: “Men,
collect jour wages or burn the building.’'
This official claims to have found one of
these slips himself and to have seen ttve
others, lie interprets this as the work of
a number ol malcontents among the
workmen, who are unpaid lor the last
fortnight’s work. Some of the gatemen
and other employes of that class claim to
have nearly two months’ wages due
them, and are highly indignant over a
proposition said to have been under con
sideration to repudiate all back pay prior
to Jan. 1 and to compromise on a 'settle
ment up to Jan. 13.
SUNDAY AT THE EXPOSITION.
New Orleans, Jan. IS. — To-day was
clear and cold, and 20,000 persons were at
the World’s Exposition. The poultry
department proved an attractive centre
of interest. In this department there are
about 300 cages. Among the birds are
many of the best varieties in the country.
Awards will tie made to-morrow. The
exhibit is under tue management of
B. N. Pierce of the Fanciers (razeHe, of
Indianapolis.
THE WHKUKEI) BANKS.
Fuller Detxils of the Irregularities
which Astounded Norwich.
Norwich, Conn., Jan. 18.—Fuller de
tails of irregularities in the Merchants’
andjSpetucket National Banks of this city
show that the Merchants’ Bank lost
about $130,000 and the Spetucket $30,000,
through speculation on the part of their
cashiers. When Examiner hlygill visit
ed the banks about three weeks ago he
found some things in the af
fairs of the Merchants’ Bank
not capable of satisfactory ex
planation. Returning unexpectedly
last Thursday he began another investi
gation, which speedily disclosed a serious
defalcation. Saturday the directors
were summoned, and to them Cashier
James M. Meech and Assistant Cashier
Charles Webb admitted that they had
been speculating with the funds of the
bank. The amount taken was found
to have been about $130,000. At the
same time * that this trouble was
found in the affairs of the Merchants
Bank, suspicion was aroused as to the
condition of the Spetucket bank, and an
examination there showed deficit of $50,-
000. This was traced to Cashier William
Roatch, who had been using the bank’s
funds also in speculation. - Webb, who
was concerned in the embezzlement at
the Merchants Bank was also
President of the Spetucket Bank
and with Cashier ltoatch had been using
the funds of that institution too. The
Spetucket Bank, as well as the Mer
chants, will bo able to continue business.
The cashier will be prosecuted. Webb
was City Treasurer. The (utids of tho
city are all right, however.
MIDWINTER’S BLIZZARD.
Reports of Distress in the Great North
west, Still I’ourlng In.
Chicago, Jan. 18.—The weather has
moderated somewhat, but all points
throughout Illinois, lowa and Wisconsin
continue to report low temperature and
deep snow badly drifted. Railway trains
without exception are running without
regard to schedule and are all behind
time. This is true of all roads east as
well as west. In central and southern
Illinois the snowfall lias been exception
ally heavy. The telegraph service to-day
has been improved and communication is
now open to all the principal points east
and west.
Dispatches continue to report great
loss of cattle and sheep by the late cold
weather on many ranges in the northern
and western part of Missouri. Great
numbers of cattle have drifted southward
till stopped by wire fencing, running
many miles east and west, and are now
dying by hundreds and even thousands
from hunger, thirst and cold. The loss
is chiefly on ranges which had
suffered from drought, both grass and
water being scarce and the cattle in poor
condition. But even in more favored parts
of the State a great amount of stock has
already been lost by the unusual severity
of the weather. It is estimated that 10
per cent, of the cattle and 20 per cent, of
sheep have perished.
Overwhelmed by an Avalanche.
London, Jan. 18.—A dispatch from
Trieste relating to the avalanche at
Klagenfurt says many residents ot that
place are still missing, and it is be
lieved that they are buried under
the snow, in addition to twenty
already known to have been killed. Three
thousand men have been sot at work in
the part of the city covered by the ava
lanche digging through the snow to re
cover the bodies of the de t and in the
hope of finding some of the fferer? nil!
alive.
