After the adjournment the Democratic members of the House went into a caucus on the apportionment hill. BUSY LEGISLATORS. Since the muddle of last week the Legis lature has been steady at work holding three sessions a day, and by constant application has disposed of a large numlier of lulls. An unusual number of bills of lesser im portance have passed, and several conse quential measures have been finally disposed of. as in the ease of the jsoll tax qualilloa tion bills, which were indefinitely postponed, and the new city charter for Jacksonville, including the. towns of La Villa and Fair fu’.a, which is now in the hands of the Gov ernor. Femandina, Tampa, Palatka and other cities of lesser note have had new charters passed by the Legislature, and in nearly every instance the new charters include the small towns adjacent to the chief city. BANKING LAWS. The Renato has passed u bill making new provisions for the incorporation ol' banking associations, one of which requires persons engaging in the banking business to use a name that does not imply a corporation, or else incorporate under the new general law on the subject. This is intended to prevent lierxons being deceived bv the hlgh-soun<l ng name of a bunking house that is the property of one or more individuals who may or may not be solvent. senator Pasco’s “namesake.” The new county to lie called Pasco, in compliment to the newly-elected United Btotes Senator, is formed from the southern third of Hernando county on the Gulf coast and will take from Hernando county one of its members of the Legislature, and with Hernando county will comprise the Twen ty-second Senatorial district. The bill has not yet become n law r , but in all probability it will, and it will include a tine section of country, very fertile and accessible. The new county proposed to lie made from a portion of Polk will not be organized, as the opposition to it is very stmng, and the same fate will meet others that are deserved by some. RAILROAD COMMISSION CANDIDATES. Quite a number of persons hare been mentioned for pluces on the railroad com mission and the returns are not yet com olrte. Judge W. 11. Hebrlng. of Bronson, sad Hon. K C. F. Kanchez, of Gainesville, have Ixsm sjsiken of from the (Southern por tion of the State, and every other section has its favorites. Ho far as is known, the Governor Ims not yet hogun to consider the names, as the commission bill has not yet become a law. A KOnTt'NATE GOVERNOR. The appointments made by Gov. Perry so far have given general satisfaction and it is to be hoped he will lie equally for tunate in his future selections. Ho far the Judges of the Circuit Court appointed by Gov. Perry arc: The hirst Circuit, comprising west, Kloriila, Judge James F. McClellan, reappointed; the Hecoiul Circuit. conqxiHod tbe western middle counties, v ,D. 8. Walker, reappointed; the Fifth circuit, surrounding Gainesville, Hon. J. J. Finley, who succeeds Judge Thomas r. King; the Hevonth circuit, Hon. John D.

White will most probably succeed Judge E. J. Vann in the Third circuit at Madison. FLORIDA’S METROPOLIS. Orange Blossoms in Prospect—Sundry Criminal Matters. Jacksonville, Fla., May MO.—A wed ding takes place to-morrow between Hon. W. A. McLean and Miss Mary Whistler. Mr. McLean is the Duval County Judge. Dr. Neal Mitchell, President of the Jack sonville Board of Health, received a letter from Dr. Porter, President of the Monroe County Board of Health, stating that up to Saturday there had linen only six. cases of fever at Key West and three deaths. He said that every precaution had been taken to prevent the spread of the disease. Key West was in a good sanitary condition and no danger was feared. Dr. Porter believed the dis ease wasn’t of local origin and could be stamped out. United States Marshal Bird to-day ar rested near O’Brien, on tho Savannah, Florida and Western railroad, John Miller (white) an attorney from lowa. The prisoner is charged with pension swindling.

The ease against John Chastain, charged with the murder of Cain Linton, was continued on account of absent witnesses, and Chastain was allowed to give bail. This afternoon, Col. A. P. IVright, chair man of the committee previously appointed to draft a memorial of the late Col. James L. Seward, made his report. Tho memo rial alluded briefly to the many noble traits of character, and the great intellectual power, of the dead lawyer and statesman. Suitable resolutions were offered, suggestive of the loss sustained by the legal profession. Both the memorial and resolutions were ordered entered upon the minutes. Judge Hansell made a few appropriate remarks concerning Col. Seward as a lawyer, and adjourned the court till to-morrow out of respect to his memory. DOUBLE TAXATION. Promised Sensation In an Atlanta Tax Collector’s Office. Atlanta, Ga., May 30.—A big sensation here to-day against the Tax Collector’s office, because notices have been sent out to taxpayers for county taxes for the last three or four years, which have already been paid. The taxpayers have kicked and charge that something is at the bottom of it. The matter has been brought up to the notice of the County Commissioners, and they say it is a shamo anil they will in vestigate at once. Some rich developments are expected. The Governor and his staff have been in vited to attend the grand military encamp ment at Chicago Oct. 1 to 20, in which American and foreign troops will partici pate. Muscogee’s Court at Work. Columbus, Ga., May 30. —Four parties were sentenced to the penitentiary to-day on the criminal docket in the Muscogee Su perior Court.

Simms, who has been a great sufferer from Bright’s disease of the kidneys, died this afternoon at 12:28 o’clock. Our entire com munity is shrouded in grief for the untimely end of tho noblest spirit and kindest man in our midst. True and loyal as a man, a citizen, husband anil father, he held a warm place in the affections of our people, who cherish his memory and would emulate his virtues. Michael Brady’s Body Recovered. Pensacola, Fla., May 30.—The body of Michael Brady, a seaman belonging to the British bark Royal Tar, was found last night floating alongside of the Perdido railroad wharf. Michael Brady was one of several seamen who were in a small ship’s lioat, last Friday evening. By a sudden gust of wind the boat capsized and sunk. All w ere res cued, except Brady, who went down with the lioat. A SPECIMEN FROM SPACE. Analyzing a Chunk of Metal That Fell From the Sky’. From Ike Pittnbnrg ttrh. A rarely interesting analysis is now being made ut the laboratory of the Edgar Thompson Steel Works. It is an analysis of a portion of a large meteoric mns3 found in Mexico, the major jiart of which is now in the famous Yale College collection. Some time ago Prof. Brashear delivered an address upon meteors before the congrega tion of Dr. Swift’s church, on Arch street, Allegheny. Among his audience was Mr. Henry Phipp, of the firm of Carnegie, Philips & Cos., who expressed himself its being much interested in what Mr. Brashear told him in regard to this particular meteoric find. Ho asked the latter if it would lie possible to get, a specimen of the mass for his private cabinet. Air. Brashear answered that it would, but “it would come high," at the same time giving Mr. Philips the address of the jwrtios who might be able to furnish the rare specimen. Prof. Brashear thought no more or it for some time, until there came to him one dny a carefully wrapped imoknge and letter from Mr. Phi)ips. It, was n t hree-pound piece of tho Mexican mass, and tho letter informed Mr. Brashear that if he could cut it in two he could keep half. The operation was successfully performed, anil the 111 ini’s () r dust made ill cutting it were taken by Mr. Phipps for the purpose of analysis, which lias not yet been concluded.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1887. UNEASY MASTER MASONS. CRITICAL STATE OF THE CHICAGO LABOR QUESTION. Master Masons Bound not to Recede -Only a Lukewarm Support Given by the Master Builders -All Business Affected by the Lockout—Trouble Feared. Chicago, May 30. —The next six days are liable to witness a critical jieriixl in tho great strike of the building trades. For four weeks strike has followed strike, terminat ing in a lockout, affecting to a greater or less extent, almost every trade in the city of Chicago. Fully 17,000 men are idle, and it is stated uixm good authority that over 1,000 first-class mechanics have left the city. A careful estimate shows that wages to tho amount of SOOO,OOO have been lost to tho strikers. It is impossible to estimate the amount of capital which has lieen diverted from the building trades. Well known East ern capitalists have instructed their Chicago agents to make no investments ponding the adjustment of the strike, and in several cases large enterprises will be dropped until next year and perhaps forever. The master masons, realizing that so long as the trades unions were governed by their present laws and customs, the strike was liable to be duplicated at any time, resolved to make a supreme effort to force the abolition of the abuses of which they were conspicuous vic tims. A code of principles and working rules were adopted, which would, if en forced, result in the complete abolition of the unions as now con stituted. The developments of last week have demonstrated that if this is accom plished it must lie done by the master ma sons. They have formulated a plan of cam paign and nave asked the kindred trades to indorse their code of principles and follow their footsteps. The response to that ap peal was not so enthusiastic as was expected by the contracting ma sons. The master carpenters adopted a platform, but nullified their action by re fusing to name a date upon which it was to go into effect. The conservative element in both master masons and carpenters is com posed of those contractors who are almost entirely dependent upon union labor. In many coses another protracted strike means bankruptcy to the smaller contracting car penters. A HOT CONTEST. An analysis of the situation proves that the strike has resolved itself into a contest between the master masons and their em ployes, bricklayers and hod carriers. Other trades represented in the Builders’ and Traders’ Exchange are in a state of armed neutrality, and while in active sympathy with the master masons, are afraid to ren der any practical support. Tho master ma sons will depend almost entirely upon the bricklayers from other cities. The next few days will demonstrate to what extent this source can be utilized. An swers to advertisements Saturday were en couraging, and it is believed that plenty of good men can be secured. The leaders of the bricklayers promise that no violence will be offered to any of the imported brick layers. Every effort will lie used, however, to induce the new comers to join the union, and all strategies of modern strikes will be brought into play. THE COWHIDE. An Effective Weapon in the Hands of an Outraged Woman. From the SL Paul Globe. The whipping post was abolished on the ground that it was a relic of barbarism which should not be tolerated in an enlight ened age. And yet, after all, there has been no substitute found equal to it as a corrector of public morals. As an effective instru ment of punishment the horse whip has never had an equal. It is something to make the stoutest heart quail. Reckless crimiuals who could step upon the gallows without the sign of fear have been known to tremble as the aspen leaf when made to face the whipping post. Notwithstanding the whipping post lias been abolished, it is some gratification to know that the horsewhip continues to exert a healthy influence’over the morals of the community. Since men in their cow ardice have foresworn the cowhide, it is to the credit of women that they luive taken up the work where the men laid it down. A horsewhip in the hands of an outraged woman Is the most effective, as it is the most appropriate, form of punishment that could be devised for certain grades of crime. It Is also gratifying to observe that as a rule the women exercise rare discretion and judgment in the matter of its application. It wouldn’t do to supply every virago with a cowhide and grant her the privilege to whale it into people promiscuously every timo she got out of temper. Hut when a woman is insulted by a stranger or mistreated by her husband then the cowhide comes into proper play. There can he no subliiner exhibition of moral hero ism than when a nervy little woman takes upon herself the task of avenging some help less sister's maltreatment by hunting up the brutal tyrant of a husband and wanning his jacket for him. The man who mistreats a woman, and especially if that woman is his wife, deserves to have his back scari fied. As long as the men refuse to do jus tice in this matter, the women are perfectly right in undertaking it themselves. It would lie a good idea to organize a woman’s horre-w hipping society in every community. It would have a wonderful effect in regu lating society, and particularly in securing the most happy domestic relations. Women ha vo a great deal more use for the cowhide than they have for the ballot. A Picturesque Parade of 50,000 Babies. From the Cincinnati Pont. Our friend 8. 8. C. writes us from an Arkansas railroad train saying that one J. \V. F. has suggested through a Bt. Louis paper that if President Cleveland comes to that city in 1888 it would be well to com memorate his visit by a parade of r>o,ooo babies in baby carriages—-white babies, of course. Thereupon our correspondent pro ceeds to make a statistical estimate of what the new baby carriages, the new dresses for both babies and mammas and other inci dental expenses would cost. It reaches the handsome figure of $3,000,000. Our corres pondent admires the suggestion for its prac tical outcome. Between now and then it would stimulate so many industries, boom trade in textile fabrics, increase the popula tion of that citv, and undoubtedly make Mr. Cleveland solid with the Missouri dele gation.

The Romance of a Treasury Countess and Her Boarding House Vis-a-Vis. Washington Special to the Chicago Mail. The young lady clerk in the Treasury who recently made the gratifying discovery that a small farm near Birmingham, Ala., which her family has long owned, and su]>- posed to lie next to worthless, Is worth enough to make her independent, is some thing of a beauty- and will well become tho station to which her wealth will entitle her. In jiersoii she is tall and graceful. Her fea tures could hardly he called either reg ular or classic, yet with her clear white and pink complexion, her thick, raven-black hair, and a pair of splendid black eyes, they would certainly admit her to a conspicuous place among the far-famed, dark-eyed Southern beauties. She came to Washing ton late in the ’7os, in company with her mother and an aunt, her mother’s sister, her father having died some years before. They had some means, but not enough to enable them to move in a circle to which they had evidently been accustomed in the Bouth. The aunt secured a place in the Bureau of Printing and En graving, and later on “Rose” was given a place as a money counter in the office of the Treasurer. Her salary was 8000 a year at first, but was gradually advanced from time to time until it was 81,400, when the happy discovery was made recently that she was heiress to a property supposed to be worth nearly $2,000,000. Her earnings, to gether with the income from their other property in tho South—all that was hereto fore supposed to bo valuable—enabled mother and daughter to live comfortably and they r always niovisl in the better, though not, of course, the ultra fashionable circles of society. Three years ago this summer the present heiress, then the pretty Treasury clerk, met Mr Frank MacArthur at a boarding house on Fourteenth street, near K, in which the family had recently taken rooms. Tho house, if not in the fashionable quarter, was certainly well up in the realm of eminent respectability. There were lots of young men and maidens in the neighborhood who were combining their lives and ..fortunes “for better or for worse until death did them part,” and perhaps this may have inclined them to think seriously ot a future arrange ment of the kind for themselves, or perhaps it may have happened just as other intense likings of the kind eome about. Possibly their landlady nmy have taken a sly inter est in their welfare, as Washington land ladies frequently do. Anyway it soon came about that young MacArthur was seated next to Miss “Rose” at table, and in a short space of time they- were much seen together at the theatre and at social gatherings. MacArthur hailed from Wisconsin and was a son of the ex-Judge of tiie Supreme Court of the district. He had begun years before as a clerk in the Interior Depart ment, and had risen to be Judge of the In terference Division of the Patent Office, a very' honorable position, but not very lucra tive. His constant study and long familiar ity with interferences did not permit him to allow anything to interfere with his love- making, and it came to be generally under stood that lie and the dark-eyed Rose were engaged. Time went on, but still they' were not married. Nobody knew why, but the gossips, of whom there are legion in the capital, speculated long and deeply as to the reason. Their wise conclusion in most instances was that both were ambi tious, and for that reason were unwilling to unite their fortunes until their prospects could lie so shaped that they could have a home to suit them. Be tiiat as it may, they remained single, and shortly after Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated young Mac- Arthur resigned, went to New York and formed a partnership for the practice of patent law. His abilities had already won him recognition and were beginning to bring him a satisfactory income when the great good fortnne befell his bride ex pectant. Last Saturday the following modest no notice appeared in the Washington papers: Miss Sarah Winston and Mr. Frank MacAr thur were married yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mr. T. W. Neill, on P street north west. The bride is a granddaughter of the late (fov. Winston, of Alabama, and the groom is a son of Judge Arthur MacArthur. The bride and groom have many friends in Washington, who heartily wish them long life and happiness, but there are doubt less many young men hereabouts who heart ily wish they' had made better use of their opportunities in the day's when it wasn't known or suspected that “Rose” Winston was heiress to the bes-t paying land in the State of Alabama. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. It is understood that the Georgia Central will make arrangements to use the Anniston and Cincinnati bridge, and then use the Rome and Decatur road from Gadsden, Ala., to Decatur, Ala., for its Caroilton ex tension.

Tho Pennsylvania has resumed ]>asses to nowspaper men, having metamorphosed them into “contractsand some of the Western roads have resumed (he issuing of passes to stockmen in charge of cattle. It lieooines more and more apparent that tho summary cutting off of ]isses on April I was, as it seemed to Is* at the time, in many cases merely a device for “squaring up the books” and beginning on a fresh page, as has been done so many tiir.es before. Steam Bell Ringers. Devices for ringing the bells on locomo tives by steam are said to tie growing in jKipularity. The latest design of • steam bell ringers is very original and unique. In appearance it resembles the latest dome fin ishes. It is the invention of a Swede, and is patented in all countries. It consists of a paraboloidal-shaped liell, with its mouth fixed downward. Inside, of this bell is a second shell, with a cavity in which the steam gradually collects as it escapes through a small opening, the pressure in the pipes before it reach'll the opening being varied by a valve in the cab. On top of the liell is mounted a clapper, which ex tends over the side to near the rim. To this dapper is qftachod the cover to the inner cavity, which cover is raised when the steam pressure is raised sufficiently to do so, thus lifting the clapper. When the steam escapes the cover falls, and with it the clapper, thus striking the bell. Cure of Typhoid Fever. Charles Hartford, of New Castle, N. Y., testifies that he was cured of typhoid fever by Bhandheth’s Rills. Read his letter: About a year ago l was attacked with typhoid fever. My physician treated me for some days, and 1 was so weak l thought I must die. Although at times delirious and suffering intense pain in the head and hack, and parched up with fever, I still had sense enough to remember my box of Brandreth’s Rills. I uiiumged to get them and swul lowod six, and then took a bowl of hot tea. My doctor had lieen afraid to give me a purge, I whs so weak, but Bi nudretl: s Rills made ine stronger.
