of the strikers late last night, proves to
have been true. Engineers, firemen
switchmen, brakemen and a number o:
conductors of that road have quit wdrk.
The strike includes the employes of all the
divisions centering in Chicago,both freight
and passenger. The last prwenger train
manned by a brotherhood crew left the
onion depot at 11 o’clock last night. The
leaders or the strikers were busy all of y«
terday notifying every St. Paul employe
of the meeting to be held, and ihswtlng
upon their attendance. Incoming train
men were met at the depot and
harried over to the hall. Fully 700
men were present. This Included all
freight and switch engineers and firemen
living in Chicago, and many from points
a hundred miles away, all of the local
switchmen and brakemen, and a large
number of freight conductors. The meet
ing was an excited and enthusiastic one.
No outsiders were admitted, and it was
not possible to ascertain what had been
done for some time after adjournment.

Neal Starks, the negro bov who blew
his brother’s brains out, with a double-
barrel shot-gun, last night, in Reynolds-
town, and wounded his cousin, after being
hid out all last night and to-day, returned
to bis home this afternoon, and was
arrested and placed in Fulton county jail.
He says the shooting was entirely acci-
dec tal. The coroner’s jury met this morn
ing and rendered a verdet that Florence
Stark came to his death at the hands of
bis brother Neil, and that it was willful
murder.

This strike, which by to-night may In
clude every division of the St. Paul sys
tem, is the remit of yesterday's work at
the yards. The men are incensed over
the action of the company in employing
new engineers and firemen, and conduc
tors, who have acted aa engineers, to take
their places. Many of the men regarded
Thursday’s strike as a trivial affair, and
expected that the company would grace
fully concede and make a binding promise
not to receive “Q” cars. Instead the com
pany accepted the situation, and com
menced filling the places of the strikers at
once. This is the real cause of the strike,
that promisee to be a long and desperate
one. It was expeeted by the officials ot
the company that a committee would be
appointed at last night’s meeting, and a
conference held, at which a satisfactory
settlement could be reached. A tacit
agreement of this kind was made yester-
afternoon, and the officers of the road met
at Division Superintendent Collins’ office
to await the result of the meeting. These
gentlemen waited and waited, bnt
the committee never came. In the
excitement of the occasion the. com
mittee waa overlooked by the strikers,
and after waiting until midnight, the
officials went to their hotels unconscious
of the fact that their road was tied up.
When the news was brought to Assistant
General Superintendent Earling, at an
early hour this morning, he refused to say
anything. The strike was not declared by
an organization of the brotherhood, at
least not formally. The men say that it
is an entirely individual action on their
part. Even if the strike extends no
farther than at this writing, the effect will
be a practical suspension of business on
the entire system. The Pan-handle
switchmen struck work at midnight. They
had been on the verge of a strike for
several hoars, owing to dissatisfaction re
sulting from the receiving of a “O” freight
tram. The men all quit at 12 o’clock, and
returned after being ont half an hour. The
engineers took their engines out of the
round house and commenced work, but
the switchmen quit again at 1:30 o’clock
this morning, and declared that not a man
would go to work at 7 o’clock, when the
day men were due to go on duty.
The strike has spread to the Fort Wayne
employes. Six crews left their engines in
the yards at Carroll avenue and Carpenter
street at 2 p. m. It was reported that the
Fort Wayne men at other points in the
city quit, and this was confirmed at 3
o’clock. The strike on the Fort Wayne in
Chicago is general, and is supposed to be
the result of the company accepting a train
of freight this afternoon from the Bur
lington road.
The strike on the Pan-handle road was
ended by the officials of the road showing
that the shifting ot the Burlington cars,
which caused it, had been done by some of
the minor officials, and that none of the
,, r. . nzer, weorge n. r-ioer ano i workmen had been asked to handle Bur-
George Lollier agents of the state to take j ijugton cars. About 10 o’clock, a train of
charge of Indian Spring and Indian Spring fifteen was ma deuoand quietly trans-
reservation, and protect the property from , f d ^ the Fort Wayne road, while at
trespass. Tnesegentiemen succeed Henry | about the 8ame tim ' anoth er train of
twenty-five cars was made up for the Lake
Shore road, and started out with forty
Pinkerton men aboard, who had provided
J. Lamar, former agent.
Post Office Inspector Simpson received a
telegram to-day from Mrs. Herbert, post
mistress at Newberry, South Carolina,
stating that John Hawkins, a clerk in the
office, had embezzled (175 and skipped.
The Atlanta wheelmen are making

the transfers were made without the
slightest hindrance. When the Fort
Wayne men were ordered to move these
cars, the men promptly refused and ran
their engines in. Tne Dews spread from
one engine to another, and in a few
moments all the crews in the yards had

MATTERS IN MONTGOMERY.
News of the Day From the Capital el
Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala., March 31.—Special:
The great flood of 1888 baa done its worst,
and the waters are now slowly receding.
The railroads are repairing the washouts
as rapidly as possible, and all trains will
be running on schedule time again in a
few days.
The Dr. Walker Case.
Montgomery, Ala., March 31.—Special:
In the city coart yesterday, in the case
against Dr. A. C. Walker, charged with
assault with intent to murder, a motion
for an arrest of judgment was made by
the attorneys for the prisoner. The mo
tion was made an the ground that the ver
dict was not regular and sufficient. It is
understood that the particular point
raised was that the Jury railed, in making
out the verdict, to state foe what the de
fendant was found guilty: they simply
stated: “We. the jury, find the defendant
guilty;” and failed to add the words, “as
charged in the Indictment.” It is con
tended by the state’s counsel, however,
thatthe verdict was regular ana sufficient.
The point has not been decided by the
court.
The Waters Receding.
Rome, Ga., March 31.—Special: The
waters have receded and the flood is a
thing of the past. It neither stayed long
nor did any damage. The merchants
washed out their stores to-day and re
sumed business. Everything is again at
its normal condition.
A party of eastern excursionists, forty
strong, are in the city. They are being
driven to every point of interest by the
local board of trade, and will be ban
quetted to-night by the Roman citizens.
They Went the Offices.
Birmingham, Ala., March 1.—Special:
A county convention, composed of dele
gates from all the labor organizations in
the county, met here this morning, and is
still in session. Most of the time has been
spent in useless discussion of various mat
ters apd denunoiat'on of both political par
ties. A frill oounty ticket of working men .
was nominated. A resolution was passed
favoring the nomination of a state labor
ticket. The Cosmopolitan assembly of.
Knights ef Labor, the largest assembly in
the oily, threw up its charter and with
drew from the organization last night.
An About Her.
New Yore, March 31.—M. W. Raphael,
a Broadway broker called at the coroner’s
office to-day and said that he was a rela
tive by marriage, of Miss Hull who com
mitted suicide yesterday at No. 48 West
20th. Hs said she was thirty-eight years
old and was bon in Mobile. Alabama,
men. Just at this time the 2:30
Fort Wayne passenger, out-bound from
the union depot, came along and stopped
at Sixteenth street. The engineers and
firemen learned of the strike, and left
their engines, and for a time, it looked as
though the train would get no further
but tne conductor finally volunteered to
hold the throttle, and a fireman was
found, and the train proceeded after a
slight delay. Eighteen switch engines
had been made idle, and the crew or the
2:30 passenger engine. ■ .
A Fort Wayne train dispatcher said that
he had assurances from the passenger en
gineers, that they would not go out, but
no dependence was placed in them.
Along the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul road, the freight business was
completely paralyzed,and passenger traffic
almost suspended.
A train of Burlington cars that had
been shifted np on the Lake Shore track
during the morning were not touched
until well along in the afternoon. Finally
an order was given by the Lake Shore offi
cials that the cars be cared tor and sent
along toward their deatination in the east.
To the surprise of the company’s repre
sentatives, the order was observed. No
other Burlington cars were in sight, and
there was nothing apparent to dis
turb the serenity of the men or their
superiors, but talk of a strike
was redoubled. It oame soon to be under
stood that the oars were handled as tem
porary stuff, and a strike might be inau
gurated at any moment. It was currently
rumored at the stock yard to-night that
the switchmen, engineers and firemen em
ployed by the Union stock yard and
Transit company, which has exclusive
charge of all cars received at tie yards,
would go out before Monday. The com-
pany handled a number of Burlington can
to-day. , .
About seventy-five men, engineers, fire
men and ewitchmen, quit during the alter-
noon and to-night at the Fort Wayne
round-house and Fifty-fifth street. About
twenty engineers are usually kept there.
It was reported at the shops to-night that
during the day a west-bound train left
Fort Wayne, Indiana, but all had been
side-tracked en route to Chicago.
Milwaukee, Wis., March 31.—The all
night crews on the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St.-Paul yards reported for duty at
the usual hour to-night, and as far as this
point is concerned, there is nothing indi
cating the existence of a strike, and the
men say that all freight loaded to-day will
be handled, but there is no certainty as to
what will be done to-morrow. The com
pany is receiving freight billed for Chicago
at its warehouses, but as fast as received it
is being turned over to the Chicago and
Northwestern for transportation.
A Redaction of Wages.
Pittsburg, Pa., March 81.—On Monday
notions of a redaction in wages, ranging
from M to 10 per cent, will be posted
throughout the coke region. Reports
from the superintendents at a majority of
tba works say that the men will accept the
reduction, and that there will be no
trouble.

Mr. Call offered a resolution for the
appointment of a select committee on the
subject of patents to public lands.
Mr. Beck enquired why the matter
should not be left to the regular standing
committee on public iands.
Mr. Call explained that the standing
committee is so overwhelmed with busi
ness aa not to be abie to give attention to
a special matter.
The resolution was laid over. 4
The house joint resolution, accepting the
invitation or the French republic to take
part in the international exposition
in Paris, from May to October, 1889,
was taken up and passed, with amend
ments. The amendments increase the
limit of expenditure for commissioner-
general from (6090 to (10,000.and for sub-
commissioners from (1200 to (1500, and in
crease the appropriation from (200,000 to

having participated in the rebellion after
wards entered in the army and became
disabled. , . „ ,
The total number of bills passed to-day
was 184. A large majority of them were
pension coses, one of them being for an in
crease of the pension for the widow of a
soldier of 1812. In all cases of the house
bills with amendments, committees of con
ference were appointed.
Mr. Evarts, from the library committee,
reported a bill appropriating (20,000 for
the purchase from Miss Virginia Lews
Taylor of a sword of Washington. Carried.
(Miss Taylor is described in the bill as a
direct descendant of George Lewis, to
whom the 6Word was devised, and the
sword as being worn by Washington on
the occasion of his resigning his commis
sion at Annapolis and at his public recep
tions while president.)
After a brief session for executive busi
ness, the senate at 5:35 adjourned.
In the House.
Washington, March 31.—In the consid
eration, morning hour, discussion was re
sumed upon the Union Pacific railroad
funding bill.
The measure was opposed by Mr. Ander
son of Iowa, and advocated by Mr. Dal-
zell of Pennsylvania, and these two gentle
men consumed the morning hour. At its
expiration the bill went upon the calendar
as unfinished business, ana the house took
up the bills reported by the committee on
private land claims. Several private land
measures were passed, and then the house
went into a committee of the whole on
the bill to establish the United States land
court, and to provide for a judicial settle
ment of private laDd claims of Arizona,
New Mexico and Colorado. It proposes to
settle the title to 13,500,000 acres of land in

harbor appropriation Dili, and it was re
ferred to tne committee of the whole. Ad
journed.
Senators In Caucus.
Washington, March 31.—The demo
cratic senators had a caucus this morning
to consider the plan of action in regard to
the pending bond bill. Senator Beck pre
sided, and Senator Faulkner, in the ab
sence of Senator Kenna, acted as secretary.
A quorum did not assemble until 11:30,
and there was not sufficient time before
the assembling of the senate in which to
accomplish the purpose of the caucus.
The Stewart amendment to the bond bill
seemed to find favor, as a general thing,
though it was thought some amendments
would be necessary to perfect it. Senator
McPherson opposed it in A vigorous
speech. It was determined to hold an
other caucus at 10 o’clock Monday morn-
After the adjournment, but beiore the
senators had left the caucus room, Senator
Beck suggested the appointment of a com
mittee on the order of business, and it was
informally decided to do this on Monday.

THE WISE WOMEN.
What they Had to Say for the Pnblic
Amusement Yesterday.
Washington, March 31.—This morn
ing’s section of tne international council of
women was devoted to the '‘conference of
pioneers,” many of whom were seated on
toe stage. A crayon portrait of Lucretia
Mott, delegate to the great anti-slavery
convention, which was held in London in
1840, and prominently connected with
many of the reform movements since, ap
propriately decorated with smilnx and
Ultes, occupied a conspicuous place on the
platform- In accordance with the usage
of “the friends,” of which she was a mem
ber snd an accredited preacher, a season
of silent praverwas observed, after which
a hymn, “The Reformer,” by Whittier,
was sung. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was
then Introduced amid continued applause
as the color-hearer of Lucretia Mott,
at Senaoa Falls, forty years ago.
Mrs. Stanton gave a history
of getting up the Seneca Falls venture oi
1848. The result of the labors of these re
formers first were evident in New York,
which was the first state to accord proper
ty rights to married women.
A call was then made for those on the
stage who were at the Seneca Falls. meet
ing of forty years ago to stand up, and
Amy Post ana half a dozen others arose. .

How the Tendency Is.
Washington, March 31.—The first of
the regular annual appropriation bills—
that for the West Point academy—reached
the senate committee on appropriations
yesterday. It is not within the recollec
tion of the most experienced th&t this has
ever before occurred at so late a period in
a long session, though the records as to
dates have not been closely examined for
more than a half dozen years. In the
long session of the Forty-seventh congress
six of the fourteen annual appropriation
bills, and that of tfleForty-eignth, three of
them had reached the senate committee
before the middle of Match. In the long
session of the last congress the first bilT
made its appearance on the 4th, and the
second on the 21th of March. The record
is held to indicate an increasing tendency
toward prolonged sessions of congress.

On ’Change.
New Yoek, March 31.—The stock
market to-day, was very weak, and
marked declines were made over the en
tire list on active trading. The aspect of
the situation was worse than at any time
since the beginning of the present troubles
on the western roads, and the pressure
was specially severe upon granger stocks,
which finally carried the entire list dowD.
There was an absence of any trading for
foreign account, this owing to the de-
pressure in reports from Chicago. The tem
per ot the room was considerably bearish,
at the opening, and traders lost no time
in attacking the list. The feature
of early dealing, was the heavy
selling of St. Paul and Union
Pacific, but Missouri Pacific broke badly,
and it was said on the .board that parties
dose to Goaid gave, oak most of the sailing
orders. All the grangers were heavy suf
ferers, but later in the day special atten
tion was paid to Vanderbilt’s, and Lake

grand reception, during the visit of the
North Atlantic squadron, in April.
.... necessity of pre
caution was seen at Down last Thursday,
when the emperor was seized with a
severe fit of coughing, during which a
piece of the cartilage was detached,
which, but for the Instant assistance ot
Dr. Mackenzie, might have caused suffoca
tion. To-day he looked fresh, and accord
ing to the Nort-i German Gazette, was in
more buoyant sprits, obviously being bent-
fitted by a night of complete repose which
followed yesterday’s drive. His official
work to-day was unusually prolonged.
In the forenoon, Bismarck and Dr. Fried-
berg, minister of justice," submitted
their report on the intended political
amnesty, which, it is expected, will be
issued to-morrow. Dr. Fried berg also sub
mitted a completed project, under which
all impoi-ant slate questions will be de
termined in full ministerial counsel. Bis
marck is understood to haVe finally ac
cepted the project, which, in its inception,
he disfavored as tending to enfeeble the
authority of the chancellor. The confer
ence lasted an hoar and a half. The
emperor next received Prince Hoeuohe
who has just returned from
his mission to King Humbert, from whom
he brought an autograph letter. After
luncheon the emperor Walked with the
princesses under the shelter of
the grand front of the orangery.
In the afternoon he heard the report on tne
commission relating to the new infantry
regulations. During a pause for repose
the doctors examined the emperor’s larynx,
and advised his taking a drive. The drive
lasted one hour. The crowds increased
in density, it being a legal holiday, and
the emperor was received with enthusi
astic greeting and great hurrahs along
the route. The weather was extremely
mild. The carriage .was driven slowly.
The emperor was rally seen. He looked
thoroughly well set up, the only, trace of
his illness being a waxy complexion. De
spite the semblance of health, and his
increased power, German expert opinion,
that the disease will have an early and
fatal termination, is still nnallayed. The
end will come quickly when it does come.
Any night a sudden crisis may declare
itaelf. It will be announced to tne public,
and will be followed in a few hours by an
intimation of the emperor’s death. The
report that Dr. Mackenzie will take a pro
longed, leave is nntrue. The reaction
among the Berlin populace in his favor
was completed yesterday. To-day he
drove in Unter der Linden by himself, and
was greeted with cheers and salutes.
Crown Prince William goes to Ems on
the 12th of April. The state c f his health
continues to cause grave disquietude.
Progressive hopes for the speedy intro
duction of liberal reforms under Emperor
Frederick, though chilled by the tenor of
his proclamations to the reichstag and
landtag, have been revived by the pros
pects of the prolongation of the emperor’s
life. The proclamations were obviously
written at the instigation of Prince Bis
marck, whose counsel there was a mo
mentary necessity for the emperor to ac
cept. The programme of the progressists
is reliance in the emperor, knowing
his preference for liberal ideas.
The party must take his posi
tion into consideration, and refrain
from clamoring for immediate reforms,
but continue to uphold the principles of
the parliamentary regime. Evidently a
cordial understanding between the em
peror and Prince Bismarck is being formed
> and the chancellor may show his custom
ary statesmanship by adapting his policy
to changes in accordance with the views
of the new chief of the state. This pro
gramme has justly met with sarcastic
criticism. Conservative papers say it over-
looks the permanent physical disability of
the emperor, even if his life is prolonged
beyond tne friendliest expectation. It
overlooks also the present facts that the
emperor has shown no disposition to in
terfere with Bismarck. On the contrary,
at the last council of ministers and other
high officers of the state, after Bismarck
had stated formally and at length his
home and foreign policy, the emperor in
timidated his entire acquiescence in the
policy and complete confidence in his
great minister.
The sudden change in the position of
the French political parties has re
awakened apprehensions for the immedi
ate future. Boulanger is now felt to be
no spectral shadow, but a substantial
force, threatening the peace of Europe.
To-dav Paris advices gravely disturbed
official circles. No reliance is placed upon
any possible ministry that may form for
the maintenance of peace. What Ger
many looks forward to is the voice of the
French motion on the appeal. If the -dis
solution of the chamber produced a strong
Boulanger party, it will be taken here as
equivalent to a popular vote for war, and
the convenience of tne French to begin it
will not be awaited.
The bourse, which got a sudden stimu
lus toward buying Russian se
curities on hearing that Count
Herbert Bismarck had been decorated
by the czar, got a quick chill to-day over
the increased stamp daty Imposed by
Russia on the native and foreign securities.
The edict is held to be a farther proof
that Russia is on the brink of a financial
abyss.
The incident of the decoration of Count
Herbert Bismarck was overrated. It was
done simply in return for a compliment
by the emperor in conferring the decora
tion of the blackleagle upon Count Schouv-
aloff, Russian ambassador. It is impossi
ble to overrate the breach of faith
toward investors in Russian securi
ties by the new duty. Russians have
collapsed i to 1}, leaving off with
increased orders to sell from all points in
Germany. Apart from the financial sur
prise, attention has been again directed to
Russia’s military preparations, which oc
casions renewed dfetrust.
Russia has tried and failed to obtain per
mission from Roumelia to pass troops
through her territory, and UDder an agree
ment with the king of Roumelia and the
Austrian government, if Russia tries to
force her way, the united armies will re
sist the attempt. The czar has offered the
Roumelian government a counter-alliance,
promising to add Transylvania to the do
minions of King ChkHes in the event of
a successful campaign, which was reject
ed. Gen. Arezeankoff, with headquarters
at Kischeneff, commands the advance,
gnd according to .the Pesther Lloyd, has
already effected the organization of a
corps to open the campaign in May.
The czar bamjuettod General von Wer-
der to-night, as the envoy of Emperor
Frederick, and will confer the decorations
upon him. Neither honor is of special
significance.
Among the prominent defensive meas
ures on the German frontier, the war
office has decided to construct two new
forts at Thorn, and another bridge over
the Vistula, near Dirschon, with a
stragetic railway over the bridge. The
contractors were instructed to employ
only German workmen. Hitherto, Rus
sians and Poles have been employed on the
fort Works in the east.
The Poles of-Poeen are signing a peti
tion to the landtag, praying for the crea
tion of a Polish university m Posen.
Numerous socialists have been arrested
in Berlin, Hamburg, Leipeic and Made-
burg, for circulating a pamphlet to the
people in response to the emperor’s
proclamation.
Paris, March 31.—President Carnot con
ferred with M. LeRayer, president of the
senate, to-day. The president will proba
bly summon M. Floquet to form a minis
try. A protracted crisis is expected.
In the chamber of deputies to-day, in
the course of the discussion of the order of
the day, Fauconniere of the right,
said the country waa utterly dis
gusted with the spectacle of con fusion that
it was obliged to witness. He declared
that a dissolution was imperative when
the chamber reached the stage of impo
tence and discredit Nothing now was
left raat/t to do bat dissolve.
The president here stopped the speaker
and declared that the question of dissolu
tion could not be decided upon orders of
the day. The chamber adjourned until
i Tuesday.
President Carnot has summoned Floquet
to form a cabinet, and the latter has
i promised to undertake the task if he
meets with the necessary support.
The opportunist journals say the defeat
of the ministry gives Boulanger what he
wash, a coalition of the irreconcilables
and caesarians, having defeated the repub
lican majority. TheBiecle says: We are
again without a government, without a
majority and a compass. The dissolution of
the chamber of deputies is near. The
Journal des De Bats says the real victor
in the struggle yesterday which resulted
in the defeat of the cabinet waa Boulanger.
The crisis, it says, will be a formidable one
on account of an understanding between
the right and extreme left.
Flouquet does not desire premiership,
and it is likely that either Rebot or Deves
will be called upon to form the ministry.
The radicals threaten to put Boulanger np
as a candidate for the presidency against
President Carnot if the latter refuses to ac
cede to their programme. Floquet is pro
gressing in the work of formings cabinet.
President Carnot left Flouquet complete
freedom in regard to the selection of col
leagues. The bureau of the chamber of
deputies, by a vote of 22 to 18, decided
that the selection of Flourens as a mem
ber of the chamber was valid.
GEORGIAN'S ABROAD.
A TRICK WITH CARDS.
How a Member of the Club Explains a New
Trick for His Fellow Members.
Let one wbo is to tell the answer leave
the room. Now let anyone take a com
plete pack, removing only the “joker” and
‘‘directions.” First look at top card.
Count it for its face value, lay it face down
and pile as many cards on it as are neces
sary to make a dozen; then look at the
next card in the pack, proceed in this way
to make another dozen. When all are
piled in dozens the one wbo has been out
of the room may come back. They may
not pile evenly, and if any cards are left
over, after all the dozens are made that
can be, note how many cards there are so
left over.
Example: In the company James, wbo
knew the solution, leaves the room, and
Mary deals the carets. She can shuffie or
not, as she pleases.
The first card she turns is a king. All
pictures count 10, so she lays it down,
and puts two cards, (irrespective of their
face value) making the pile count 12. The
next may be a nine spot. She lays it
down and puts 3 cards on it to make the
desired number. Next may be an ace, 11
cards are added. Now suppose she has
built f piles and has left a two spot, which
she lays aside. Now they call James in
and tell him that there are are 7 piles and
1 card over, and he tells them that the ad
ded number of spots ot the cards which
lie face against the table is 40. They now
turn each pile over and find it may be so.
When told the total number of piles the
performer is mentally to deduct there
from 7. The number left he is now to
multiply by 12, and to the result add the
number of cards given as remaining. This
will in every case oe found to equal the
sum of the spots as they face downwards,
though the number of cards left over and
total number of piles may vary with every
trial, in the case supposed there were
seven piles. Subtract 4, according to for
mula, and it gives 3; multiply by 13=39;
adding the remaining card, equals 40.
Let x=number of spots racing table.
Let »=number of cards in pack.
Let m=both when added.
Then, afx=m;
and m—a=x.
This formula solves every case. As every
one knows there are fifty-two cards in a
jack. Then A always equals 52. In piling
n dozens the first card is really not
countsd at all; only its spots are noted.
Thus .u a pile of the 10 and 2 cards there
are really 10 spots and 3 cards, making the
true value of the pile 13. Therefore the
true value of a pile is always 1 more than
the apparent value. Then if yon add the
true values of all piles with the cards left
unpiled yon have in fact added the entire
number of cards in the pack to tba value
of the spots on the face cards (first cards
against the table), and you have only to
deduct the number of cards used to see at
once how many spots are shown.
Multiplication shortens the process of
addition while apparently complicating
the work. Counting the pile as being 1 less
than in reality helps the confusion, and
since 13 is the greatest prime division of
52 to build piles to true 13 and count out 4
before multiplying brings the result with
use of fewest possible figures. The formula
I give is correct, no matter how many the
pues are built to contain, only providing
each pile is of same value as the rest.
When cards are piled in any number not
12 then the new true value must be used
instead of 13 to obtain a 'correct answer.

A HAPPY RECONCILIATION.
Their Child Brings Together an Unhappy
Wife and Hnsband.
Augusta, Me., March 30.—Some four
years ago Mr. Theodore Woodbury, at
E resent residing at Providence, Rhode
iland, married a Miss Yeaton of this
city. One child was born to them,
but at the end of a year the wife
left her husband, taking the little girl.
Some six months after the separation, the
father came to Augusta, to s^ e the little
one, but was attacked his wife’s
brother, and roughly handled. Divorce
proceedings were instituted, and a decree
granted in September last, but the sequal,
which was enacted Wednesday, will re
lieve the courts of the necessity of making
it absolute in the six months provided by
law.
On Wednesday Mr. Woodbury came to
Augusta, this time to take the child away
to live with him, the mother assenting. He
visited the house where the two were
stopping, remained over an hour, the wife
meanwhile being secreted where she could
overhear what he said. As he held his lit
tle girl, now three years of age, and fond led
her the scene was an affecting one, and the
mother was overcome by her feelings. Mr.
Woodbury went away and returned an
hour later. Entering the room the es
tranged husband ana wife fell into each
others arms, amid tears and words of re
conciliation. Od the midnight train for the
west the father and mother accompanied
by their little, daughter took-passage for
Providence.
A COW-BOY’S DARING FEAT.
He Astonishes Mexican Bull-Fighters by
His Nerve and Courage.
An El Paso dispatch says: “The some
what tame performance of the bull-fights
at Paso del Norte to-day were enlivened
during the proceedings by the daring ex
ploit of a Texan cow-boy, who was
cheered to the echo by the densely-packed
audience, who filled every accessible nook
in the vast amphitheater. The perform
ance lagged a little, and the bulls would
not fight, in spite of all the picadores
might do.
One or two of the bulls, after having
been successfully goaded and worried
without working them up to the proper
.fighting point, had been ignominiously
'.driven out of the arena and a new one
full of fight and fairly bellowing with rage
had just been turned into the ampitheater,
when a Texas cow-bov who was present,
announced for the honor and glory of
Texas he would ride the bull, his legs tied
around the animal’s neck, his face to the
tail, if they would first throw the bull so
that he could get his legs properly around
and underneath the beast’s neck.
He was at once taken at his word, and
the mounted Mexican bull fighters soon
had the animal lassoed and thrown. The
cowboy then bad himself fixed in the
proper position, and the now furious bull
was turned loose. To the wonder and
astonishment and intense delight of the
audience, the animgl was unable to shake
the daring cowboy off, who not only kept
his perilous seat, but after some wild
plunges, succeeded, by some means, in so
manipulating the beast’s horns that he
was thrown. The Mexican performers
rushed at once to the struggling mass,and
in a twinkle had the Texan untied and re
leased. It was a wonderful piece of daring
and dare-deviltry, and exceeded anything 1
done by the Mexicans.—Seymour (Texas i

ern members would accept Randall’s bill
to internal revenue repeal, but
they are unwilling to continue the
heavy duties on sugar. The
western republicans, however, will
not listen to a proposition to remove the
taxes from whisky aod tobaico, while the
farming interests are discriminated against
in the tariff taxes on the necessaries of
life. This variance threatens to split that
party into two almost equal factious; and
the only safety from that contingency
would lie in presenting no bill at all. But
thousands of influential republicans all
over the country are demanding that their
congressmen shall present an affimative
bill to the house—asserting that the party
can’t go before the country with any
hope of success on a record of
mere obstruction to the democratic
measure. So, it will be seen, that the re
publicans are in a much worse state than
the democrats on the tariff question. They
cannot agree on Randall’s bill, they can
not frame one that will unite their own
members, and many of the strongest men
and papers in their party doliot hesitate
to affirm that overwhelming defeat awaits
them in the country unless they attempt
some affirmative action, looking towards
the prevention of an anuually recurring
surplus.
I have presented the case, as to the demo
cratic and reoublican parties, as fairly and
as plainly as I can. It is needless, perhaps,to
add that the bill of the Randall party, to
perpetuate trusts, stands no more chance
of passing the house than a monopolist
does of walking “the golden streets” in
the great hereafter.
Some of the newspaper quid nuncs assert
that President Cleveland and Secretary
Whitney did not wear gloves of the proper
color during the funeral services over the
late chief justice. I am entirely unable to
say just how dreadful this was. The
organs of the Randall party will proba
bly use it as an indirect argument in
favor of the retirement of Cleveland
in the interest of Randall. And it writ be
one of the best they have yet advanced-
bad as it is. There is no use in hoping for
the conversion of that gang.
Speaking about conversion, reminds me
to say that I know of one that was more
sudden than that of Saul of Tarsus ; and
unlike Saul’s, it was a conversion from a
saveable to an utterly lost condition. The
conversion I refer to, was that of a vigor
ous and outspoken democratic paper, in
one night, into a Randall organ. It
furnishes a fine theme for lectures, in the
nature of warnings, to good little boys and
girls. In not using It for that purpose, the
preachers are musing a great opportunity.
There ought not to be any patchwork
done at the coming state convention, in
the opinion of the Georgia democrats
here. Their view is, as I gather it, that
the convention should not simply endorse
Cleveland generally, as the protectionists
will want to do, but specifically with ref
erence to bis tariff policy, and send to the
St. Louis convention as delegates only
those who are in full accord with him on
the tariff question. This view is directly
in line with the position of the Enquireb-
Sun, and will commend itself to all
real democrats. What is the smse
in proposing to send to St. Louis
men who are antagonistic in their tariff
views to the man who is sure to receive
the nomination?
At this writing Mr. Mills is still con
fined to his room, but improving. He
will not die at this time, just to gratity
the malice of his high tariff republican
enemies in Georgia and out of it.
Numouss public men have been indis
posed recently, because of the shifting
weather prevalent here. You need not be
afraid to stake your last nickel on the
fact that the garden of Eden was not
located in the District of Columbia. S. L.

HOW THEY SHOVE TO THE FRONT AT
THE NATION’S CAPITAL.
The Mill* Tariff Bill i* Likely to Pass.
This Is Why Some People Are
Kicking—The Position of the
Parties on the Tariff.
Washington, March 30.—[From our
Special Correspondent.]—Georgia has not
a very numerous representation in the de
partments here, bnt her contributions to
the public service are highly creditable to
the character and intelligence of her peo
ple. So far as my observation goes, no
state is more worthily represented, and
the fact seems to be fully recognized by
the heads of the departments. One of the
most popular and prominent among the
Georgia quota is Mr. E. P. Speer. He is
in the treasury department, and is bound
to reap promotion because of his intelligent
and progressive faithfulness. Gene has
been appointed one of a committee to in
vestigate the inner workings of the treasury
depot Itnent, with a view to suggesting
methads of cheapening and simplifying
the various details of procedure in that
department. He waa appointed to this
trying and laborious position by the secre
tary of the treasury, and he will give a
good account of himself. He has a genius
for the business of simplifying methods
and exposing crookedness, and I venture
the prediction that when his work now in
hand is finished he will go up higher.
The prospects of the Mills tariff bill are
improving, in spite of the doleful
accounts to the contrary sent out
to two or three uncertain papers down
in Georgia. That what I state ae to the
increased probability of the passage of the
bill is true, is apparent from the despair
ing views of the question taken by the
New York Tribune and the Philadelphia
Press, the leading republican high tariff
papers of the country. They are greatly
a'armed at the increased prospect of the
passage of the bill, and are using the party
whip vigorously to lash tariff reform re
publicans into line. This very important
indication of a failing cause seems to be
lost on the young men here who
do up the unpromising tariff
reform news for the assistant
republican Constitution and Chronicle,
down in Georgia. As the young men,
personally, are both tariff reformers, it
is likely they take their sad view of things
under protest.
But I am not left to the alarmed views
of the northern republican organs, as dis
tinguished from the southern ones men
tioned, for evidence of the growth
of the tariff reform sentiment in
the Fiftieth congress. An evidence of the
faith is found in the recent conversion to
the true faith of Congressmen Ermen-
trout of Pennsylvania. He has
been a noisy Randallite, but now
declares his purpose to vote
for the Mills bill. He has heard from
home, and found that the Pennsylvania
democrats are deserting Randall by the
hundreds; and having a desire to return
to the next congress he has wisely con
cluded not to remain out in the republi
can camp any longer. Pennsylvania is
getting right on the tariff question. In
proof of this, I submit the following facts
to the Enquirer-Sun :
In the Forty-eighth congress there were
twelve Rahdaflites and no tariff
reform democrats from that state. In
the Forty - ninth congress there
were five Randallites and three
tariff reformers among the democrats.
In the present congress there are two
Randallites and six tariff reform demo
crats in the Pennsylvania democratic dele-
f ation. In the present congress, Randall
as only one so-called democratic follower
from his own state. The time is near at
hand when he will be deserted by ail true
men in Pennsylvania, and when his al
leged democracy will be repudiated in his
own district. These things are worthy of
mention, in view of the fact that a certain
Georgia organ of monopoly is using all of
its resources of cunning and un
scrupulousness to convert Geo>
gia democrats into Randallites. When
the rapidity with which the Pennsylvania
renegade is being repudiated in his own
state by true democrats is known io
Georgia, there will not likely be any im
petus given to accessions to his assistant
republican movement.
Taking all the facts given above into
consideration, then, it is fair to conclude
that the prospect of passing the Mills bill
has decidedly improved duriDg the past
week. The republicans are unable to
agree upon an alternative bill. The east-
