London, December 30.—Lord Harting- ton has declined to become a member of the government. THE COMING MAN. William Henry Smith, secretary for war, is to take Lord Randolph Churchill’s place as leader of the conservatives in the house of commons. Lord Hartington, Joseph Chamberlain and George J. Goscneu buy a conference to-day. They found themselves equally averse to joining any coalition cab inet, and all three decided to support the conservative government.

Then the lids were fastened in place. Ample folds of a garrison Hag were arranged about the casket and tied in place with ribbons of white, while Mowers and palm branches were placed upon its top. These lust offices oi love and respect were performed by the loving hands of the only son. All being in readiness for the more formal but still prlvato leave taking, the doors were opened and the widow supported by her son and followed by her daughter and her husband, her grands-n and other relatives and nearer Irieuds of the deceased to the number of fifteen or twenty entered. Mrs. Logan knelt sobbing at the head of the casket, is increased by the non-receipt of intelli gence as to his condition. The last infor- formation was favorable, but Justice Woods’associates do not anticipate that ho will ever be aide to resume his duties on the bench, as he has been rapidly failing for a year or more. Ex-Governor Deadly was here recently from Ohio, try ing some cases before the supreme court. At that time the strong probability of Justice Woods’ death was mentioned, and it was suggested by some one that, Governor Hoadly would be a good man to fill the vacancy. Governor Hoadly would not. of course, permit his name to he dis cussed in that connection, and said that ids life-long intimacy with Judge Woods made it too sad to contemplate such a conti’i- and when the others had entered nnd the gency.

Logan told u brother senator that when he died he wanted to be buried in Washington. After General Logan's death his grief-stricken hit | widow expressed an earnest wish that her husband should he buried here. Wilh these facts staring them in the fane the Illinois delegation entreated her for two hays to choose Illinois for the burial place. Those Illinois statesmen are sentimental suckers. H.'T MORTALS. The president is suffe iug with the rheu matism, and Mr. Blaine is still suffering with gout or rheumatism. Neither one HAS NOT RESIGNED. The Marquis of Salisbury, after an inter view with "Lord Hartington to-morrow, will hold an informal council for the pur pose of rearranging Mie cabinet. There is not a whisper about Sir Michael Hicks- Beaeh having resigned the office of chief secretary for Ireland, ami it is certain that at the meeting ot the cabinet on Tuesday the other ministers concurred in his ex pressed decision to continue his present work. Sir Michael, replying to an address pre sented by a deputation of Ulster liberal unionists, in Dublin to day, expressed tho hope that he would he able at the coming suasion of parliament to assist in bringing before that body suggestions of deputa tions. The’tenor of his remarks indicated that he would remain in his present posi tion. 5 JLord Charles Beresford, one of the junior lords of admiralty, is mentioned as suc cessor to William Henry Smith in the war office. Otherwise the ministry will re main unchanged. Lord Hartington’s conference to-day with Chamberlain and Goschen proved that the radical-whig alliance is unbroken. Chamberlain’s interview with Lord Hart- ington lasted two hours. Both gentlemen expressed the opinion that it would lie the wisest policy to maintain the liberal union ist body as an independent section. The refusal of Lord Hartington to enter the cabinet grutilies the lories, who strongly objected to the infusion of liberal blood in the ministry. A majority of the members of the Carlton club preferred the return of Churchill even atthe cost of submission of the government. Eit'ort.s to reconcile Lord Randolph promise I jot ter. Lord ltawton acting on he half of Lord Salisbury and Sir Henry Drummond Wolff for Lord Randolph, mct.it Carlton Club to-day. Lord Randolph, in the club, denied that he was moving to effect a re conciliation, but expressed Ills willingness to entertain proposals if they tended to strengthen the party. Cabinet ministers will go to Osborne to morrow to attend council, at, which the question of the further prorogation of par liament will he discussed. COTTON DAMAGED BY FIRE. Three hundred bales of cotton l'r nn the steamer Dditietl, at Geneva, from Sivan the contract should ho made with em ployers which would be binding on both sides an executive committee ol live was seleeted to take charge of affairs of the men and to consult with a lawyer rela tive to creating of a contract with em ployers. Rudolph Weber, secretary of Brewers Employees Union, became involved in a quarrel with the clerk at Bergdoll’s brewery this morning and was arrested and committed for hearing to-morrow. This afternoon Jus. A. Wright nnd Jns. R. Haves, of the executive board of Dis trict Assembly No. 1, called on the secre tary of Lager Beer Brewers Association, of Philadelphia, and assured him that the strike as far as the beer driver wagons was concerned was illegal and without author ity of the 1 executive board of the District, Assembly. It was further said if the wagon drivers refused to return to work within a given time they would be suspended as an assembly of the knights of labor and their charter ns such revoked. Tile committee from the district also assured the secretary that they would supply him with all tho experienced wagon drivers that might be needed at twenty-four hours notice, on belinlf of the association. This offer accepted by tho secretary. No formal meetings of the brewers have been held, hut it has been agreed that the strikers who do not return to work by 1 o’clock to-morrow afternoon, will not, ho taken hack under any circumstances. The wages of drivers were not affected in the least, by the list recently posted up by the brewers. MOKE SQUEALING DONE.

Five men are under arrest and Mrs. Haight. Being asked if Fotheringham was guilty he replied: “1 am not ready to say. I prepared t he evi dence for the. grand jury and he was in dicted. Draw your own conclusions.” There aro a large number of accessories after the fact, he said, scattered over the country, and he would list: j his own judgment as to making I further arrests. Pinkerton’s men were , scouri.ig t lie city all night, hut the fruits of 1 i their labor are not made known. Witroek l and Cook wore kept, in Adams’ express of- j | flee ail day, and removed to some place of 1 concealment, at dusk. | A sneeial from Leavenworth says: Mrs. Witroek, trio'her of "Jim Cummings,” was I seen at her residence. She was very un- I willing to say anything about the arrest of I her son, but was anxious that tho public j should know the real cause of the robbery. She said that she had wondered I ! from tiie first what prompted the robbery, I and the first question she'asked her son Mobile, Ala., December 30. News was received here late last night of the burning of the steamer Bradish Johnson, used as a boarding house at Jackson, on the Bigbee river, eleven miles above Mobile, on Wed nesday night. There is no telegraph line to that point. The Johnson was lying with her nose in the bank and the gang plank out. A. C. Yeall, one of the bosses, gave the following DESCRIPTION OF THE FIRE. I had just gone to bed when I hoard the cry of tire. 1 got into my limits some how and seized my other effects and rushed out into the cabin. There had been a party of men out there playing cards and they saw the smoke rising. When I came into the cabin the tire seemed to be in the state room aft of tho pantry on tho port side and men who had been playing cards were standing there at the doer looking in at the lire. They soemed dazed and did not know wluit to do. They had shouted fire but there they stood staring. I shouted: “For God’s sake! what arc you standing there ‘or? Wake the men up and let iib got out of here.” There was nn old Alabamian in tlic room next to mine: I don’t know his name. He was asleep when l went to bed. for I heard snoring. I hammered and pounded away with all my might, hut I don’t know whether l got him awake or not. The smoke was already tilling the cabin and the men were running around like mad. I hardly know whud happened. I ran forward through the cabin and my eyes and mouth got so full of smoke that I did not know where 1 was going. The negroes were mostly lodged on the lower deck. They all came running forward about the same time we got there. The vessel BURNED VERY FAST, and was a solid mass of flames in a mo ment.. When 1 reached the hank I turned around and saw the pilot, house and Texas full in with some of the m gros. Others lied iqi the hank and rushed to the woods, where they huddled like sheep, and could not, tie irsuaded to come down to tho boat. They l< Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, and the Chicago, Milwaukee and Ht. Paul each have about 3fi(X) miles, and are build ing now lines. The Northern Pa cific has 2800 miles. The Grand Trunk, which is partly In the United Stntos and partly in Canada, has 2300 miles, fork Central has 051 mil The New York 0 mitral has 951 mil* n, and tho Wabash system 2400. The Illinois Cen tral has over 2000 miles. The Chicago and Northwestern has 4500 miles; Chicago and ltock Island 1400 miles, and tiie St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba 1500 miles. A thousand miles of road, with appropriate rolling stock, will cost about £115,000,000. Thus tiie Missouri Pacific, the Union Par eittc, the Southern Pacific, and the Penn sylvania railroad company represent each a cost of about $200,000,000. PASSENGER COMMITTEE MEETING. A meeting of the southern passenger committee has i ecu called in RouisviTlo, January 4. It is probable that the session will be held at the Unit House. When tho association represented by the committee was formed it was agreed that the animal meeting should be held the second Tues- ! day in December. The place for the meet ing this year was Atlanta, but the snow was so heavy in the south at the time fixed that a quorum did not succeed in getting :U together. Those who did meet adjourned to meet at the call of the commissioner. This has just been issued. Mercer Slaughter, of Atlanta, is commis sioner, and the following roads are mem bers of the association: Atlanta Const Line, Central, of Georgia, Charleston and Savannah, Cincinnati, Southern, Last Ten nessee, Virginia und Georgia, Georgia rail road, Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West.

At nearly all tiie breweries operations were suspended, and though at the large brewery of John F. Betty & Co. , business was progressing as usual. One oi’ tiie fire- men at this place said that only nine men engaged in tiie brewery had gone out on a strike; that they were “uuion” men, and those who continued to work belong to tue 1 knights of labor. Members of the brewers’ association have decided not to recognize any labor organization to which their em ployes belong, except the knights of labor, preferring methods of that organization in settling labor troubles, and are determined to enforce a new scale of wages.
