NELLIE BA I LEY'S CRIME.
Story of the Murder ot Clement Botliem
fv* -* Wealthy Kngltsliman.
The trial of Nellie C. Bailey, charged
with tb- mujder of Clement Bothemlv in
toe Indian Territory.jOct. 13, l'N3, gays a
A\ ichitaj Kas. > special of Jan 17, to the
St. fgtuis HepuhlicaHj is now progressing
here in the United States Court, and a
strong case against her is being made.
THK ACCUSED.
On her preliminary examination, which
was concluded here on Nov. 1, lssa, the
story of the crime w as brought out eoieflv
through her own testimony. The case at
that time attracted widespread attention,
awl is now the sensation of this section of
the country, ow ing to the wealth ot the
murdered man, the beauty of the defend
ant and the peculiarly cold blooded na
ture of the crime with which she is
charged. Nellie Bailey is a brunette,
now about 22 years old, and though show -
ing the evidence of her troubles, is still a
beautiful woman. Sue is well educated,
and comes of a family that moved in the
upper circles of New York, the home of
her girlhood, and New Jersey, the State
of her birth. She was the wife of a prom
inent banker in Sedgwick City. Kas., who
died under mysterious circumstances
while traveling w ith her in the North
west In fact, it is stated that while on
the witness stand during her preliminarv
examination she made acknowledgments
that shows she knows more concerning
the death of her husband than is known
by the general public.
IIIK MI KDKRKD MAN,
Clement Bothemly, the man Mrs. Bailey
is accused of killing, was a w ealthy Eng
lishman, and a member of the British As
sociation. It is stated that his relatives,
also very wealthy, reside in London, lie
first met Mrs. Bailey in St. Louis, became
infatuated with her, and they lived to
gether as man and wife. He was several
years her senior, anti she appears to have
continued toe relations existing between
tbeui for the purpose only of getting pos
session of his money.
SCHEMING.
The tacts brought out at the prelimi
nary hearing were to the effect that she
arranged with him to go to Texas and
start a sheep ranch. Before they left,
however, she induced him to deed to her
property in Kansas, valued at $20,000, he
making false statements in executing the
instrument. She assumed his name and
represented herself as his sister. About
Oel. 1, l'Ni, Bothemly and the woman
started overland for Texas with 2,000 head
ot sheep and two teams, accompanied by
William Hudson, a man who had been
hired by Bothemly to help drive. That
was the last heard ol the partv, but the
evidence showed that on Oe't. 7. while
they were traveling through the Indian
Territory, she shot Bothemly and buried
ins body at Skeleton Bunch. She then
took possession of his trunk, containing
jewelry and diamonds valued at $7,000,
an l also his outfit, consisting of sheep and
stock worth $10,00*), and. accompanied by
Hudson, resumed the journev toward
Texas.
CAPTURED.
C. N. Hollister. IT.l T . S. Marshal at Cald
well hearing the facts, started after the
fiicitiv•- and captured them about nine
in ! s south of where the murder was
committed. Bothemly’s body was ex
humed, was taken to Newton. Kas., and
i-uried liesidc that of his decease*! wife.
What part Hudson took in the killing, if
any, was not developed, or whether they
had a quarrel. The case now in progress
w ill develop the whole story. So far the
evidence has been very strong, tending to
corroborate that given on the tirst bear
in'.:. There are rumors and whisjiers of
startling developments to come.
A ROY AND AN EAGLE.
Tin* Noble Bird Attacks a Youngster,
Win, Smothers Hint after a Hard
Battle.
Xenia, 0., Jan. 10.—An exciting and
novel battle took plaee in one of the pas
ture fields at the Soldiers’ Orphan’s Home
this morning. Wallace Mead, a 15-year-old
h-,y, had gone out to look for some cattle,
when he was attacked by a large eagle.
W hen the boy first saw the eagle it was
perched in a tree, and he started on a run
for the institution. The bird of freedom
gave chase and soon overtook the
youngster. It buried its talons in the
fleshy part of his leg, but the boy was
able to shake his assailant off. It then
jumped upon the little fellow and bit him
severely upon the arm. The boy then
commenced to tight the eagie, and went
at the noble bird in true pugilistic style
with his bare lists.
He soon succeeded in getting a good
hold upon the eagle’s neck, and soon
choked and crushed it to death. The boy
was exhausted after the conflict, and hail
to lie taken to the hospital, where it was
found that he had received many
scratches and bites. The hotly of the ea
gle which measures four feet from tip to
tip, will be turned over to the taxider
mist and preserved for the little fellow as
a memento of his heroic battle. Tfiis is
the tirst eagle captured in Green county
for many years.
EX-VICE PRESIDENT HAMIiIN.
The Festive Old Alan Tripping the
Light Fantastic.
Hannibal Hamlin is now To years old,
says the Lewiston, Me., Journal, and he
told me one evening not long ago that he
thought his health never was so good. In
his younger days he frequently had severe
and painful headaches, which do not
trouble him at all now. It was the night
before the Tarratine Club’s ball. “I’m
going to dance to-morrow night,” said he,
••and I expected to dance to-night at the
Unitarian levee, but I have just got home
from a business trip to Mooseliead Lake
and I feel a little too tired.” Mr.
Hamlin said he had received many flat
tering offers from publishers who desire
him to write a book. “Whether 1 shall
ever do it or not,” he said, “L do not
know. Sometimes 1 think I will. I have
read no political history of my own times
in which I could not supply many defici
encies and make many corrections. Two
things deter me from w riting a book.
One is. I realize that my memorv is fail
ing me and 1 fear I may do somebody an
injustice; another is, mv dread of the
large amount of labor which would be
ntcessarv to confirm my statements of
fact. It'is possible that 1 may write a
book, but hardly probable. If 1 do, it
yvill be because 1 need the revenue a book
might yield me.”
A IILIIUSTER EXCIiEMEXT.
KuergetlcSearch for an Alleged Expedi
tion l>y the Government.
The Herald special from Key West,
Fla., Jan. IS, says that inquiry at the
Cuban headquarters failed to elicit any
information about the alleged filibuster
ing expedition. But although the utmost
secrecy is manifested, it Is asserted that
unusual activity has been displayed
lately. During the past few days ex
aggerated and improbable rumors of
suspicious vessels having been seen
hovering off the island have been circu
lated, and to-day are reproduced as facts.
A Branch pilot, employed on a pilot boat
in the harbor, positively affirms that
about midnight ot Jan. 13, while on shore,
he saw a long, low, black steamer, with
rakish masts, burning either wood or soft
coal— as she emitted intense black
smoke—and displaying but one bright
li-ht. enter the harbor and anchor
abreast of Fort Taylor, where she landed
nfteen or twenty men, who came ashore
by the fort bridge. He says further that
he went to call his brother in order to
speak the vessel for pilotage, but when
they returned the steamer had turned
around and put to sea.
AT THE N ATION’S CAPITAL
MR. BROWNS CREDENTIALS
GIVEN TO THE SENATE.
Inter-State Commerce Briefly Discussed
—The Indi-in Appropriation Bill Taken
Up iu the House—President Arthur’s
Veto of the Designation Dodge—Em
ory Speer's Nomination.
Washington, Jan. 20.—in the Senate
to-day. Mr. Colquitt presented the cre
dentials of Joseph E. Brown, re-elected
Senator from Georgia, for six years from
March 4 next. They were referred to the
Committee on Privileges and Elections.
At S o'clock the Senate resumed considera
tion of the inter-State commerce bill. The
House bill—the "Keagan bill,”so called—hav
ing b -en already in the senate read twice liy
lit e and placed on the calendar, was now
taken from theealendar and read in full. The
question before the senate was on the motion
nt Mr. ciilloni, heretofore made, to strikeout
all after the enacting etause in the House bill,
and insert, instead, the several provisions of
the commission bill already debated and
agreed to in the senate. The latter bill was
now also read in full.
Ml!. BECK ON THE COLOR LINE.
Mr. Beck spoke for some tune upon the
pending tujls, ami in the course of his re
mark? moved to amend the House bill by
sinking out from the tirst section the provi
sions regarding discriminations in passenger
accommodations, and discriminations on ac
count of color. Ims would leave the bill,
he said, in the condition in which it had been
originally brought into the House by Judge
League. Mr. Beck said that he would also
move to amend the House bill so as to pro
hibit railroads from charging more for car
rying freights over part of their line than
they can charge for carrying them over the
whole leugth of the line.
As between the House and Senate bills, Mr.
Maxey favored the House bill, believing that
the commission bill would do no good.
Mr. < oke rose to address the Senate on the
bill, but yielded to a motion to go into execu
tive session.
A message from the President was laid be
fo-c the Senate, transmitting information re
g to the foreign commerce of Mexico,
Central and South America, the Spanish West
Indies, ilavti and San Domingo, and the
share of the United .-Stales therein.
The .•senate then went into executive ses
si ,n. After fifteen minutes the doors were
reopened an i the Senate adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House to-day, ou motion of Mr.
C hare, of Khodclsland.it was ordered that
4 o’clock to-morrow he assigned for considera
tion ot the Senate’s Anthony resolutions.
Mr. Oates, of Alabama, from the Commit
tee on Public Lands, reported the bill prohib
iting aliens and foreigners from acquiring
title to and owning lands in the United States.
It was referred to the House calendar.
Mr. Hewitt, of New Vork, from the Com
mittee on Ways and Means, reported the bill
amending section JOltlof the Revised Statutes
so that it will read as follows:
>ec. Joist. There shall lie allowed on all
articles wholly manufactured of materials
imported on which duties have been paid
when exported a drawback equal in amount
to the duty paid ou such materials and no
more, to be ascertained under such regula
tions as shall he prescribed by the Secretary
of tlie Treasury, and all provisions of law in
consistent herewith are hereby repealed. It
was referred to the committee of the whole.
After some opposition from Mr. singleton,
of Mississippi, and Mr. Mills, of Kentucky,
who desire,l respectively to bring up the
Congressional library and educational bill,
the House at 12:25 o’clock w ent mlo commit
tee of the whole, with Mr. Wellborn, of
Texas in the chair, on the Indian appropria
tion bill. Mr. Kills, ot Louisiana, explained
the provisions of the hill, winch appropriates
$5,664,135, or sl,sii:i,'.!l4 less than the estimates,
and *41*5,000 less than the amount carried by
the hill for the current year. In the discus
-ion of the lull which followed many of th
existing problems in connection with the
future of the Indian races anil the disposition
of Indian lands were brought up. rending
further debate the committee rose and the
public business being suspended the House
proceeded to pay a lilting tribute to th -
memory of the late .John 11. Kvins, of South
Carolina.
Eulogistic addresses were made by Messrs.
Bratton, Dibble and Tillman, of South Caro
lina: Mr. Browne, of Indiana; Mr. HanM
man, of Georgia; .Mr. George, of Oregon;
Mr. Dowd, of North Carolina, and Mr. Dur
ham, of Texas, and then as a mark of respect
to the memory of the deceased the Honse at
4:05 o’clock adjourned.
RESIGNATIONS OUT OF ORDER.
President Vrtliurto Refuse Those Made
with a Selfish Object.
Washington, Jan. 20.—1 t can be
stated on the highest authority that front
• hi' time until March 4 the President will
accept no resignations from Federal offi
cials, except in cases where good sub
stantial reasons are assigned. He pro
poses to make as few appointments as
possible during that period. He does not
want to make one that will in any way
embarrass President Cleveland’s adminis
tration. This determination is the result
of a general efl’ort on the part of a large
number of Postmasters all over the coun
try to resign at once in order either that
Democrats, whom they could control,
might be appointed their successors, or
ti at Republicans might be appointed for
full four-year terms. The President and
the Postmaster-General are equally re
solved to frown upon every such arrange
ment. They will accept no resignations
having any such scheme behind them.
It is explained at the Post Office I>c
partinent, lest there should be any mis
understanding, that the case of the Post
master of Richmond, Va., is not in the
objectionable category. Postmaster Gil
more is really too unwell to continue in
oflice and so bis resignation has lieen ao
cepted. In appointing his successor,
the Post Office Department will, as is
customary, consult the wishes of the
senior Republican Senator, in this in
stance. William Mahone. But this case
is exceptional.
LOWER NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.
The Western Associated Press Com
mittee’s Memorial to Congress.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The House
Committee on Post Offices and Post
Heads will next Friday consider the va
rious bills which have been referred to it
relative to the reduction of newspaper
postage. The committee is in receipt ol
a memorial on the subject, prepared by
Morrison Mumford, l). R. Locke and
William Penn Nixon, a committee repre
senting the newspaper publishers
of the West and Northwest.
This committee was appointed
at a meeting of the Western Associated
Press at Detroit Dec. 17 last, to call the
attention of Congress to the inequalities
of the postal laws bearing on the rate
charged tor newspapers and periodicals.
The memorial says in part:
Newspaper publishers are not mendicants,
but they claim to have such relations to the
diffusion of light and knowledge among
the people, which we understand was
one of the objects for which the jiostal
department of the government was created,
as gives them a right to demand a fair hear
ing and just treatment. The incongruity in
the law referr. and to above would, to a stranger
to our institutions, indicate that the govern
ment looked with disfavor on all publications
circulating beyond the confines of the county
in which they are published. We certainly
understand that such is not the case, but be
lieve that it will be unwise for Congress to
permit such an inconsistency to remaiu on
our statute books. We hope that you will t.dd
nothing to the burdens of publishers now free,
but ask tlial you will diminish the burdens of
those for whom we speak.”
BOOMING MR. SPRINGER.
The Delegates from the Territories
Want Him In Teller's Place.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The Springer
boom will be the first “Cabinet boom”
projected upon President-elect Cleveland
in his quiet Albany home. The four Dem
ocratic Territorial delegates in the House
ot Representatives, Messrs. Maginnis, of
Montana; Oury, ot Arizona; Post, ot Wy
oming, and Manzanares, of New Mexico,
met in solemn council this afternoon at an
up town restaurant, and formally resolved
that the interest of the Territories de
manded that William M. Springer, a Rep
resentative from Illinois in the present
House of Representatives should be made
Secretary of the luterior in President
Cleveland’s Cabinet. They declared that
Mr. Springer understood the Territories
better than any other available ma l in
the Democratic party, and they re
solved that the wishes of the Territories
ought to be consulted in this matter.
Then they appointed Senor Francisco A.
Manzanares, delegate from New Mexico,
a committee ot one to join Mr. Springer’s
Illinois lriends in a mission to President
elect Cleveland. The Illinois Democrats
in Congress are generally favorable bo
Mr. Springer’s purpose. Several of them
are working hard for him. One of these
gentlemen, Representative Moulton, an
eminently respectable old lawyer, will
represent the Illinois Democrats with Se
nor Manzanares in the mission to Albany.
Payment for Thompson.
Washington, Jan. 20. —The memorial
of John G. Thompson, asking Congress to
reimburse him for expenses incurred in
the trial of the Kilbourne-Thompson case,
was considered by the House Committee
on Judiciary to-day. Representative
Poland was instructed to report a measure
providing for the payment of $5,650 to Mr.
Thompson.
SAVANNAH, YVEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1885.
PANAMA’S REVOLUTION.
The Action Taken by the Commander
of the Mau-of-AVar Alliance.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The Secretary
of the Navy yesterday received the follow
ing telegram from Commander Lewis
Clark, commanding the United States
steamer Alliance, dated Panama, Jan. IS:
A revolution is in progress. The President
of Panama has announced his inability to
protect the property of the Panama Railroad
Company. At the request of ihe authorities
I shall land a force as soon as possible to pro
tect American j.roper in Aspinwall. I will
keep yoa informed of the stale of affairs I
have put the Alliance alongside a dock to as
sist in case of a demonstration. Please give
such instructions as you think property. The
L nited States Minister at Bogota cuiinot be
communicated with. The wires are cut and
Bogota is in a state of siege.
To this the Secretary of the Navy re
plied immediately:
Vour action is approved. Act discreetly
in the interests of humanity ami for the pro
tection of American eitizeus anu property,
lmt avoid taking sides in a po itical or mili
tary controversy.
Another dispatch was received from
Commander Clark this morning, stat
ing that the trouble is over and the force
withdrawn.
CIVIL NVAR IMMINENT.
Panama, Jan. 20.—The condition of
affairs in political circles here is greatly
disturbed and civil war is imminent. On
Sunday night the American man-of-war
Alliance landed a foro of marines with a
Gatling gun at Aspinwall to guard the
railroad and canal property there. The
landing of the American forces created
great excitement among the natives,
which disappeared when it became known

Philadelphia's Mayor to he a Visitor—
A Young Lady Probably Fatally In
jured by a Runaway Horse—A Captured
Portrait.
Atlanta, Jan. 20.—At 10 o’clock this
morning the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia receivership case came up in
the United States Circuit Court, Judge
Boarmau presiding. Messrs. Van Epps,
Calhoun and King and Hoke

the petitioners, upon whose motion
Judge Estes, some days since, appointed
Gen. Alexander and R. T. Dorsey receiv
ers of the Georgia Division of the system.
Judges Lochrane and Hopkins, and
Messrs. Glenn, Bacon and Rutherford, of
Georgia, and William Baxter, of Mem
phis. appeared as the legal representa
tives of Henry Fink, receiver of this sys
tem, representing the bondholders of the
road. Near them sat Maj. Fink and J. F.
O’Brien, the latter General Superin
tendent of the system. The case opened
with a motion by Mr. Smith to move the
case back to the State court, claiming
that the United States eCurt did not have

Tennessee, Virgiuia and Georgia Rail
road was a Georgia corporation, and
that court could not try the case.

gument lor the petitioners, and in doing
so occupied the attemiou of the court
during the entire forenoon. The court

A CAPTURED PORTRAIT.
Thomas H. Mcßride, Manager of the
lowa educational exhibit, in a letter
from New Orleans to Gov. McDaniel, re
ceived to-day, says:
At the battle of Corinth during the war a
portrait of Gen. Walker fell into the hands ol
a Federal soldier and was by him carried to
lowa City, la., anct eventually turned over to
the lowa State Historical Society, in whose
possession the picture has remained all these
years. When our exhibit for the World’s
f air was preparing it was suggested that the
picture be sent to New Orleans and there dis
played, in the hope that in this way some
trace of Gen. Walker’s family
might be discovered, and the
portrait restored to its owners. 1 have ihe
picture in my care—have hung it upon tin
wall in our lowa educational exhibit, and
have made constant effort to advertise it. 1
am told by gentlemen here who were in the
Confederate service that probably you could
throw some light on the subiect in hand, aud
could aid me iu finding Gen. W.’s friends. I
have only this record for the General’s iden
tification. He was in the Confederate army,
and was killed before Atlanta on July 22, isti4.
Ihe portrait is in good condition, and 1 some
one will doubtless lie greatly prized. Any
information in this matter will be thankfully
received.
Gov. McDaniel will at once answer the
letter and give the desired information.
THE POLICE MUDDLE.
There Is great lack of harmony here be
tween Hie Police Committee of the Coun
cil an<“ the Board of Police Commis
sioners. The trouble is that the city i9
infested with burglars, highway robbers
and criminals generally, and the force is
too small by 30 or 40 men to keep them
down. The commissioners ask for 10
additional men, and the Police Committee
says that the city can’t stand theexpense.
The day seems to have conte lor the
artist with bis brush. Within less than a
year the State has had painted immense
portraits ol Hill, Stephens, Johnson and
Jenkins. The next Legislature will be
asked to have painted portraits of Bishop
Pierce and other distinguished Georgians,
and contracts are soon to be given out for
three portraits of Benjamin E. Crane,
one of them lor the Chamber of Commerce,
another for the Capitol Commissioners
and the third for the Police Commission
ers. Besides, exhibited conspicuously
about the city are life-size paintings of
Bill, Stephens, A. O. Bacon, Hiram War
ner, Gov. Smith, Lucius Lamar and Mar
tin J. Crawford.
POOLING COAL BUSINESS.
The Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Companies Make an
Agreement.
Philadelphia, Jan. 20.—Despite ru
mors to the contrary there is little doubt
that the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Companies will agree to
pool their bituminous coal business dur
ing the coining year. The main features
of the pool have all been agreed upon, and
it only remains to arrange a few of the
minor details, which it is stated will
claim attention at the meeting to be held
to-morrow or Thursday. The Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company is to be allowed
55 per cent, and the Baltimore and Ohio
45 per cent, of the total tonnage ot the
two companies from the Clearfield and
Cumberland regions. An allowance of
500,000 tons has been made to the Nor
folk and Western Railway, 700,000 tons to
the new branch of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company into the Clear
field region, known as the Beach Creek,
Clearfield and Southwestern Railroad.
It is estimated that the Pennsylvania
Railroad and Baltimore and Ohio carry
yearly from the two soft coal sections
reached by their lines upwards of 6,000,000
tons. Not all ol this, however, reaches'
tidewater, the Pennsylvania using
something like 1,200,0<K) tons
of coal on its own line.
The companies are reported to have
agreed upon maintaining as the price
throughout the coming vear $3 25 along
side in New York. This is about the
same rate which prevails at present.
MURDER AND VENGEANCE.
Attempts 51 ade to Lynch the Slayers of
a Tennessee Storekeeper.
Memphis, Jan. 20.—A. M. Homner,
aged 53 years, who kept a small grocery
store four miles north of Colliersville,
Tenn., was shot and killed last Friday
morning by unknown parties. Suspicion
pointed to two negroes named Jesse
Jones, alias Jesse James, alias Du
lapany, and Pen Dumwright. They
were both arrested and lodged in
Homner’s store for safe keeping.
Yesterday morning at 3 o’clock some
unknown persons broke open the store
door and fired at the prisoners. Dum
wright was struck by three buckshot and
Jones by nine, both being seriously
wounded. They were afterwards taken
to Colliersville, where they were lodged in
jail and given medical attention. The
excitement runs high and the probabili
ties are that they will be lynched. It has
been proven that Pen Dumwright did the
killing.
Judge McCay’s Misfortune.
Philadelphia. Jan. 20.—United States
Judge Henry K. McCay, of the Northern
district of Georgia, was before Judges
MeKennan and Butler in the United
States court to-day, with a petition for
his release from the Pennsylvania Hospi
tal for the Insane, at West Philadelphia,
where he is now confined. The court
stated that it would dispose of the matter
to-morrow in chambers.
The Rebellion,
The servants of the internal department
sometimes rebel, and raise a riot. Liver
gets torpid and sulkily refuses to secrete
and dispose of the bile. Stomach becomes
uneasy and declines to digest. Heart feels
slow and wants to take rest. Blood grows
pale and don’t circulate right. Then read
the riot act and give a few doses of
Brown’s Iron Bitters. Blood enriched
makes heart work right; and improved
liver shakes hands with renovated stom
ach. The rebellion is over. Memoran
dum—buy Brown’s Iron Bitters. One
dollar.

ENG LAN DM CAHI N ET.
Another Important Session Held—Glad
stone Present and lu Good Health.
London, Jan. 20.—The Council of the
Cabinet met to-day at 3 o’clock. All tbe
Alinisters were present except Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, President of the
Board of Trade, and Earl Spencer, Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland. Premier Glad
stone looked vigorous. The newspapers
this morning, discussing in advance this
meeting, are unanimous in the expres
sion of the opinion that it will have before
it the gravest Egyptian problem which
has presented itself since the bombard
ment of Alexandria. The Times says
that the Ministers must decide upon what
terms they are going to remain in Egypt,
or confess that they are reduced to the
necessity of a disastrous and degrading
retreat..
The St. James Gazette hears that Eng
land vyill solve the Egyptian trouble by
resuming, for a certain period, the entire
administration of Lower and Aliddie
Egypt, together with all financial respon
sibilities, and giving to tbe Sultan Upper
and Equatorial Egypt with any port or
ports on the Red Sea. The mission of
Wassail Femenah Pasha, Turkish Alinis
ter ot Justice, is believed to be connected
with this scheme for a partition of Egypt.
The Cabinet separated at 7:30 o’clock
to-night. Another council will be held
to-morrow to finally decide the points at
issue between England and the Conti
nental powers regarding the future man
agement of Egyptian affairs.

The Promised Activity in the Iron Trade
Becoming Apparent at Cleveland.
Cleveland, Jan. 20.—The iroD trade
is already showing some of the activity
promised, and locally it will bid fair to be
strong and healthv in a short time. The
Union Rolling Mill, which has been idle
nearly three months, will start at its full
capacity Feb. 1, and employ 400 men.
President Chisholm, of the' Cleveland
Rolling Mill Company, savs that in addi
tion to the five mills already running
about half the full capacity ot the bal
ance will start up in less than four weeks.

the Joel Hayden Works, and a member of
a big brass combination, having its shops
in order, has started up with plenty of
work and will employ 000 men. The

Vienna, Jan. 20.—Rills were intro
duced in the Reichstag to-day empower
ing the government to deal summarily
with the daDgerous Socialist agitation,
and providing punishment for the crimi
nal use of explosives.

Socialist measure in the severity of its
provisions. It forbids the formation of
clubs, provides for government control of
charitable societies in order to prevent
the covering up of Socialist
pamphlets, inn keepers, librarians, etc.,
are made liable to punishment if such
pamphlets be found in their possession.
The last clause of the bill provides that
persons accused of socialistic offenses
shall be tried without jury.
The act if adopted will re
main in force five years. The explo
sives bill, also introduced to-dav, allows
punishment by death where culprits could
foresee the fatal effect of their deeds, and
imprisonment for irom five years to a life
sentence for various offenses, such as
making, selling or using explosives with
out authority. The bill provides that the
offenders shall be tried by jury.

scended from an old New England <jua
ker family, and still retains all the out
ward characteristics of that sect. He
dresses in the traditional Quaker costume
of half a century ago. In private con
versation he uses the “thees” and ”thous”
ot the Quaker language, but in his capac
ity as a public legislator, adheres to the
more modern style ot speech. Like tbe
strict constructionists of his race, he is
opposed to warfare of all kinds. He can
never be persuaded to vote on any
appropriation bill tor the maintainence ol
the army or navy, and steadfastly refuses
to appoint a cadet from his district,'either
to West Point or Annapolis. He is a
resident of Providence, where he is
largely engaged in the manufacture ot
cotton goods. He was an intimate per
sonal friend ot the late Senator Anthony,
and it was mainly through the i- fluence
of that faction that he received hs elec
tion to the Senate.

CHINA’S COURSE.
Action Taken Which Virtually Amounts
to a Declaration of War.
Hong Kong, Jan. 20.—The Governor
of the maritime provinces of China has
been commanded by special orders from
the Imperial Government at Pekin to en
force impartially the laws regarding for
eign enlistment which have been agreed
upon by the various powers in regard to
Chinese free ports. These orders were
issued in consequence of the remonstrance
made by Tseng to the English
Foreign office and communicated to Sir
Henry Parkes, the English Ambassador
at Pekin. They are aimed against French
naval and trading vessels, commanders
of which have been picking up seamen
wherever they could find them in seaport
towns. The orders are a quasi declara
tion ot war on the part of China and will
make it exceedingly difficult for French
vessels hereafter to find crews in Chinese
ports.
A Gambling Room Robbed.
San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 20.—About
3 o’clock on Monday morning six masked
men entered Wood’s gambling establish

The burglars securely bound and gagged
three employes, who were sleeping in. the
rooms, and then moved the safe, which
weighed two tons, to a back room, where
they opened it with chisels. The thieves
succeeded in escaping. The gagged em
ployes have been arrested for alleged
complicity in the robbery.

BAYARD’S HESITATION.
Ho Cannot Well Afford to Become Sec
retary of State.
Senator Bayard, says a Washington
special, could be the premier of Cleve
land’s Cabinet, but he cannot afford to
make the sacrifice which he would be
compelled to do it he became Secretary ol
State. This tact ought to cause thought
ful men serious reflection. Air Bayard is
neither a rich nor a poor man in the ordi
nary acceptation of these terms. He has
a modest income in addition to his salary
as Senator. His law practice yields him
a considerable sum annually, and he has
property which is increasing in value.
As he now lives he probably adds some
thing each year to his comparatively small
accumulations. He has a large family,
and by thrift and economy he will be
able, should no unforeseen misfortune
overtake him, to make some slight provi
sion for his children.
If he was to become Secretary ot State
and serve in that capacity tour vears he
would go out of office a bankrupt. With
his old-fashioned notions of official pro
priety he could not practice his profession
during his term of office. This source of
income would not only be gone, but the
practice itself would be necessarily im
paired. It is preposterous to talk about
the Secretary of State living on the sal
ary. A quarter of a century ago a Cabi
net officer could not live oit his salary.
Judge Jeremiah S. Black, when he was
made Attorney General by Buchanan,had
practically no income outside the salary
of his office. He was a plain, economi
cal, unostentatious gentleman, with
out extravagant notions of any
kind. His wife was a model
housewife and his family not ex
travagant. With the most rigid economy
his establishment while Attorney General
could be barely supported on his salary.
A lew months only in the State Depart
ment, at a period vastly less expensive
than now, with iar less social require
ments, practically bankrupted him. When
he went out of office he was so poor that
he accepted the appointment ot reporter
of the Supreme Court of the United States.
His despondency was very great. His
extraordinary genius and acknowledged
great abilities in his profession, ot
course, soon brought him a very lucrative
practice, lu this respect the Attorney
Generalship is different front all other
Cabinet positions. It places its occupant
iu the first rank of the legal nrofession il
it is worthily bestowed. An ex-Attor
ney General who has distinguished him
self iu that office at once commands a
large practice on his retirement.
Custom becomes law. The Secretary ol
State must maintain a social establish
ment which his salary will not justify.
It is well enough to prate about republi
can simplicity, but it is no more possible
to have il now than it would be to insti
tute and maintain Spartan economy in
social and official life. There is less state
and less exclusiveness to-day than there
was during the administrations ot Wash
ington and Adams. The expenses of
official life at the national capital are far
greater, of course, than they were then,
but not disproportionately so when all
things are considered.
THOM. CAMRBELL’M GRANDMON.
No Pleasures of Memory or Hope for a
Chicken Thief.
A Parkersburg, West Va., special, Jan.
I s , says: The interesting discovery has
been made that a prisoner now serving a
term in the county jail ior stealing chick
ens is a grandson of Thomas Campbell,
the Scotch poet. This came out through
a letter sent by the prisoner to Chief of
Police Mehen detailing his life. It is an
eventful career.
Young Campbell was born near Edin
burgh and came, with his parents, to this
country when four years of age. His pa
rents settled near Morgantown, Va. Dur
ing the war the boy enlisted in the One
Hundred and Thirty-third Pennsylvania
Volunteers, and was wounded and left
for dead at the battle of the Wilderness.
He recovered and went abroad, and in
180 graduated from the University of
1 aris. From there he went to Germany,
where he completed a rrn dical course at
the University of Berlin. Returning to
this country, he went into the drug busi
ness at Zanesville, Ohio, Ue was ruined
financially by the great flood of February
last, and drifted to Fayette county, Pa.
I tom there he went to Pittsburg, whore
he put his family in a flat bottomed boat
and set out for Cincinnati, intending t<>
gather rags, etc., at the river towns. At
evc-rv stopping place he and his wife
went about the streets gathering rags.
At Al arietta they took a stranger aboard,
v\ ho induced Campbell to add poultry and
produce to rags. Campbell agreed, but
the stranger allowed a number of fowls to
escape, and, fearing Campbell’s wrath,
stole enough from a farmer to make up
the deficiency and left. For this Camp
bell was arrested and convicted.
He is well educated, and there is no
doubt his story is true. Airs. Campbell is
a plain woman, who has nothing to say.
Suffering and hardship seem to have de
stroyed what little spirit she ever had.
Her maiden name was Thompson. Her
father was a Captain in the Sixty-third
I ennsylvania Volunteers and was killed
in the battle of the NVilderness. For 20
years she was a member of the Smithfield
Street Church, in Pittsburg, and her fam
ily is well known there.
“ALL THINGS to ALL MEN.”
The Remarkable Number of Office
holders Who Discover They are Demo
crats.
It is quite amusing to the disinterested
observer, savs a Washington special to
the Cincinnati Times-Star (Rep.), to see
what a large proportion of the office
holders here have suddenly discovered
that they are Democrats, and have always
been such. It really takes away the
breath of the average Democratic seeker
for spoils to have men in nice fat offices
gravely announce that they are Demo
crats, have been Democrats all then
lives. and were appointed as Democrats
under the reign of Buchanan or Pierce,
or some others of the ancients. Yet this
is the fact. A prominent member
ot the House, on the Democratic
side, talking of this, said to-day that he
had found, from personal inquiries, a very
large number of Democratic clerks in the
departments and in offices elsewhere,
many of whom had been appointed by
Republican influence. “I took occasion
to question a lot of clerks
and beads of bureaus Pom
the Treasury Department,” he said, “as
they came up here as witnesses before a
committee recently, and found nearly
one-half of them claiming to be Demo
crats, and several who stated under oath
that they had been appointed under Bu
chanan and Pierce, and had held the posi
tions ever since. 1 don’t see how we are
going to make much headway firing men
out of office and appointing new ones in
the face of such a state of affairs ai this.
EADS’ SHIP RAILWAY.
An Exhibit that Wins Friends for the
Scheme.
A Washington special of Jan. 17 says:
EVer since the model of the Eads Ship
Railway was placed in the Butler Build
ing, diagonally opposite the southeast
coiner of the capitol, it has been visited
almost hourly by crowds of eager and
interested people. Col. Andrews is on
hand constantly, and an assistant ex
plains the principles on which it works.
One can witness the whole operation, the
sinking of the carriage, the lifting af the
ship into place, the transportation over
the railway, the turntable in making
angles, and the lowering of the cradle
and floating of the ship in deep water at
the other end. It is certainly a wonder
ful piece of mechanism, and all who see
it are convinced of the perfect availability
of Capt. Eads’ plan.
Every day the belief in Capt. Eads’ plan
gains strength. Congressmen, officials of
every grade, and visitors all are delighted
and satisfied.
Col. Andrew-s has a large map whereon
he points out the advantages of the Te
huantepec route, the saving of hundreds
ot miles of travel, and the fact, esnecially
important to New Orleans, that the high
way would thus be through the Gulf of
Mexico instead of the Caribbean
Sea. Another consideration suggested is
that sailing vessels going througn the Ni
caragua or Panama canal would strike
the Pacific in latitude out of reach
of the trade winds and be subject to pro
longed calms.
It is very certain that the exhibition of
this model and the arguments of Col. An
drews are producing a profound impres
sion.

■conn?” -‘They bite them. It is impossible
to see women in a car fir anywhere when men
ire around tnat they do not continually press
iheir lips with their teeth, and Lite them with
more or less fierceness. This brings the blood
to them and makes them red Still, as it also
keeps them from chapping in the winter, there
is no reason why it should be condemned. As
for cosmetics, they have almost gone out of
date, and have not anything like the run they
used to have. Women have at last learned
that good health brings color, and exercise
has taken the place of powder and paint.”
