2 NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL GARLAND DETERMINED TO RETIRE FROM PUBLIC LIFE. Blaine’s Friends Destroying His Pros pects With Whispers—The Presi dent’s Proposed St. Louis Visit—A Re tired Navy Officer’s Experiments With a New Explosive. Washington, June 11. —The President is back from his trip to the mountains and is in harness again. He looks and acts as if bis little vacation had done him a great deal of good. It is by no Ricans cei-tain that ho will go either to the South or West this summer, though the matter is as yet undc dded. OFFERED TO GART.AND. It is said on what appears to be pretty good authority that the President offered to Attorney General Garland the vacant, place on the Supreme bench, and that he declined it. In a conversation, a day or two ago, the Attorney General said that when this admin istration came into power and it was sug gested that he should go into the Cabinet, the suggestion was a pleasant one to him, and his friends, with his concurrence, in terested themselves to that effect. His relations with the President hail been uni formly agreeable; hail they not been he cer tainly would not have remained in the cabinet. But he had, for reasons satisfactory to himself, determined to retire from public life at the close of his present service, and not to accept any other public position. He confirmed the report also that he could have had a place in the interstate commerce commission. The President now thoroughly understands Mr. Garland’s views, although he did not fully until after the interview which Mr. Garland gave out a few days since, and of which the President knew nothing until he saw it in print. A BLAINITE TALKS. Mr. George C. Gorham, one of the most practical and straightforward of stalwart Republicans, expresses the opinion that the Republican National Convention will not dare to nominate Blaine. Blaine, ho says, is being whispered out of the canvass, and does not himself know what to do. Some of Mr. Blaine’s friends, and Mr. Gorham is not one of them, think really t hat, one of the principal reasons why he has gone to Europe is because he wishes to be out of the way and let events shape themselves. The doubts thrown around the prospects of Republican success in case of the candidacy of Mr. Blaine are what worry him and his immediate adherents, and this is what Mr. Gorham meant when he says he is lieing whispered out of the canvass. ‘Mr. Gorham thinks the Republicans can elect the next President, bufc-to do it they must nominate John Sherman. He says Sherman is alxmt the only' great leader the Republicans have left, and if they do not nominate him and adopt the principles laid down in his last two groat,peeohns the party will cease to exist. This is a very candid confession, and is significant, as tho' opinion of such a man as Mr. Gorham that the Republican party must continue to be the sectional organiza tion which it has been from its first founda tion, or else go out of existence. THE PRESIDENT’S PROPOSED ST. LOUIS VISIT. Gen. Burdette, of this city, has been talk ing about the President's proposed visit to .St, Louis and the row in the Grand Army of the Republic on account of it. He says that he does not think that the President’s presence in St. Louis will result in any un pleasantness so far as the Grand Army Is concerned. The whole matter is simply this: The Grand Army is not a political or ganization, and any effort made to drag it into polities is discountenanced by every member. Some years ago the Grand Army of the Republic was involved in politics, and it resulted almost in its obliteration. The organization, however, was saved after a struggle, and from that time out the mem ber* resolved that, no matter what occurred, the Grand Army, as an organization, should be non-political. Accordingly when the President determined to visit St. Louis during the Grand Army encampment, it was immediately thought that he was do ing so for political purposes, anil the Grand Army of the Republic did not want to lie taken advantage of in that way. The Grand Army is a large organization and is scattered throughout Hie country. In lowa the sentiment generally seems to lie hostile to the President’s visiting St. Louis at this time, but bow it is iu Indiana or mauy other States no one can say. Person ally ,~if I had been able to suggest a few things to the citizens committee at St. Louis I would have advised against inviting the President. If all tilings had been taken into consideration I think it would have been found better to let him pay a visit some other time. However, the thing has been done now. and Ido not believe ,thnt any thing unpleasant will result from it. A NAVY OFFICER’S NEW EXPLOSIVE. Lieut. J. AT. Graydon, a retired navy offi cer, has lately been making some experi ments in quarries near this city with anew explosive, intended to supplant dynamite for blasting purposes. So far his' experi ments have met with remarkable results, and quarryraon say the new oopipound de velops a power three or four times greater than dynamite. Lieut. Graydon, within a year or two, while with dy namite for the government at San Fran cisco, and tho Russian government at St. Petersburg, and succesalully solving the problem of firing dynamite shells from can non with u powder charge behind the shell, discovered his new explosive, which he claims is cheaper than dynamite, not near *o dangorous to manufacture and handle, and ut the same time six or seven times more powerful as ;m explosive. Actual ex periments made here within the past two ■weeks, in the presence of arm} - officers, militiamen and officers who attended the national drill and quarrymen seem to liear out and support ins claim for having dis covered the most powerful explosive known. Lieut. Graydon goes to Sandy Hook in a few days to make further experiments for the government of firing dynamite shells with a powder charge from large guns. He feels confident that, liesides utilizing his new explosive for blasting purposes, he can use it in guns and cannon and shells as a substitute for both powder and dynamite. STRANGE CRIMINAL TRIAL. A Man Who Evaded Justice for Eleven Years. The New York Times has the following dispatch from Detroit, Mich: One of the most singular criminal trials, considering the curious and remarkable circumstances attending it, ever known in the history of the courts of this State has just come to a conclusion in the Circuit Court of Calhoun county. Twelve years ago James AT. Pugs ley, of Battle Creek, was a well known character of that village. Ho had acquired quite a comfortable propert y as a fanner and moved into town, partly to take life easier, but. more to indulge in a natural propensity for sjieeulation. He spcvdily developed into a note shaver, loaner of money on mortgages and a man ready to take advantage of other people’s neces sities to drive a hard bargain, and in this line developed a great deal of shrewdness and addisl rapidly to his accumulations. Otherwise ho was a grossly ignorant man, know nothing of books, and made the most ludicrous blunders in the use of the English language. About the jieriod already nil'll* tinned the death occurred ol n man named Jb V la, k - a long-time resident of battle C reek, noted both for his great wealth, Ins method* of acquiring and hang - ing on to liis money, his aversion to the tax gatherer, mid his fondness for dealings his friends callisl 3hrewd and ills enemies sharp practice. Clark held a moil gage of w„kki upon a farm owned by one Calvin P. White. Pugslrv u-'sertod that lie had heard Clark sav that ho intended to discharge the mortgage in return loi ,su vices rendered by White, and he con ceived the idea of forging a receipt and dis charge. He urgisl White and a man named E. B. Morey into the plot and procured some blank paper upon which he caused Morey, who was an expert penman, to forge Clark’s signature under liis dictation. The forgery was eventually discovered, but not until Pugsley, in the course of some legal proceed ings connected with tlin mortgage, had com mitted deliberate perjury in the endeavor to carry out the original scheme. Morey was subsequently convicted of tho forgery, and has been in State prison for seven years. Pugsley was also indicted for the crime, but for eleven, years lias succeeded in baffling the courts by a series of the mast astounding and successful perform ances, until it had come to be accepted in the general belief that he would never lx' tried at all. He readily succeeded in giving bail, and has been ail this time at liberty, but has lived suspected olid largely shunned by his neighbors and acquaintances. For forty-four successive terms of the court has this ease lieen on the calendar for trial, only to lxi put over each time, generally through the cunning of Pugsley. All this time wit nesses were liable to die or move away, while the facts of the ease had altogether faded from general knowledge. Had not the crime itself been so largely a matter of record and written evidence it is doubtful if these tactics would not have eventuated in the filial dropping of the case. But the court has insisted throughout the whole affair that, there should be a trial, and when often defeated in its purpose has simply postponed the trial and refused to discon tinue it. Pugsley always responded when his case was callisl, or produced sufficient showing under the rules of the court to put it over the term. He claimed to bo the victim of a species of fits which would attack him without a moment’s warning. At all times his hands would shake ns though he was suffering a violent fit of ague. AVhen taken with this fit he would fall ujioii the floor, writhe in convulsions that were really frightful to witness, clutch at anything within liis reach, bark, yelp and whine mar velously like a dog, froth at the mouth, and present such a spectacle as quickly to empty the court-room of spectators, jurors and witnesses. Over and over again was this game played, and every time with the greatest success. The court was compelled to adjourn the trial or give up doing busi ness. Between terms of court these fits never attacked their victim, but he asserted that any imdue excitement would surely bring them on. and proceeded to produce indisputable proof when occasion demanded. Suspicions grew apace that all this was a most cunningly and wonderfully executed piece of deception, until it became the set tled belief. Nevertheless, the performance would unfailingly empty the court room every time, so startling and revolting was it in all its details, (and carried out with such phenomenal perfection. Finally, it was determined that the ease should be tried at the present term, and the case came on this week. Pugsley responded as usual. Apparently a man over GO years of age, his head was bent down to his chest, and from under his constantly moving gray eyebrows peered a pair of keen eyes, the lids of which dropped and raised with a fluttering motion every few seconds. His hands shook, and his whole appearance was that of a man laboring under some severe nervous difficulty. This time he found that the court meant business of an ironclad sort. Upon being asked if he had counsel ho re plied that be desired none, and would man age his own case. The court suggested that he would probably need the services of a lawyer, but he persisted in refusing to have anything to do with one. During the im paneling of the jury he shrewdly questioned them to discover anv latent prejudices they might have, but the panel was filled with little difficulty anil the trial proceeded. The forged {lajxirs were produced and evidence of Pugsley’s perjury clearly shown. In his cross questioning he displayed a very clear and accurate memory of facts anil dates, and frequently put the most intelligent wit nesses at fault by his superior knowledge. Finally the prosecution produced Morey, the forger, as a witness, bringing him from prison for the purpose. Pugsley’s attention for the moment had been attracted else where about the room. He had no intima tion of Morey’s presence in the town, no ex pectation of seeing him on the trial. Turn ing suddenly he caught, a glimpse of the witness. The effect demoralized him for the rest of tho day. He went off into a fit straightway, exciting t.ho greatest alarm in the court room. The spectacle of the old man wallowing upon the floor, gnashing his teeth, yelping, barking, digging his fingers into the crevices, and writhing as it' the clutches of a demon was too much for the nerves of the most hardened and indifferent; oid}’ the Judge and the Prosecuting At torney maintained their equilibrium. They were determined that the trial should pro ceed, no matter at what cost of delay and tremble. A recess was taken until the lit was over and the trial resumed. But Morey hud not proceeded five minutes in this nar rative or events before another fit waltzed Pugsley off his chair and sent him trembling about tho floor, again causing a general stampede from the court room. This was repeated several times during the giving of Morey’s testimony, but the court was pa tient and firmly persistent, and the evi dence, after several recesses, was finally concluded, while Pugsley’s legal rights wore at the same time carefully protected by the court. White, the other dupe of the defendant, was also produced and gave his testimony. The prosecution made out their ease with out. a flaw. Pugsley introduced several witnesses in liis behalf, finally calling his son-in-law to the stand, which was the sig nal for another demonstration, with vari ations. Suddenly Jumping from liis chair, l’ugsley rushed out of the room, ran down staii>, w’ent back to the court house, and lay down on the grass. Here he writhed, twisted, rolled liis eyes alxmt., and gave voice to growls, snarls and suppre-ssed shrieks. It was the sumo distressing sight witnessed by the crowd in attendance at a safe distance. Twice before during the afternoon he had gone through similar per formances; the first time the cries of his wife mingled with the other noises and add ing to the general unpleasantness of the sit uation. The last, exhibition was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, and the court ad journed till morning. At the opening of I’ourt yesterday Pugsley did not appear, and sent word that he was in too feeble a condition to be present. Tho Judge, however, ordered his attendance, and he was brought in by two officers, but was hardly placed in his chair before lie fell to tlie floor with unasual emphasis, and went off in his writhing, snarling and gib bering. The court then ordered him car ried into the witness room, where he kept up a series of yells and contortions through out the forenoon. But afternoon still found the Judge quietly insisting upon trying the case, and Pugsley’s witnesses finally com pleted what little testimony they really had to give. The prosecution then introduced four physicians, all of whom testified that tho fits were simu lated and not real, and the ease was closed. This was at 5 :30 in the after noon. It was time to adjourn, but the court proposed to see the thing through. Short work was mudo of the charge and the jury had equal brevity in arriving at their conclusion that the defendant was guilty in manlier and form as charged, whereupon the Judge, without waiting to five him the benefit of another exhibition, promptly sentenced him to State prison for ten years. A great sigh of relief went up from oeuch and jury Ixix and court room at this ending, after a threeduys’ struggle,of oneof the most unique trials known to tile criminal annals of the State.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1887. THE TELEPHONE SWINDLE. Disappearance of the Manager—A Con gressman in the Toils Also. AVasihniitox, June ll,—Vice J ’resident and General Manager Tyrcr, of the Ameri can Telephone Company, the discovery of whose prison record has stopped investment in the stock of the company, admitted last week that the company had not yet secured the alleged concession from Venezuela which w’as the basis of all its claims. |Even if the concession hail lieen secured it woufd Ix> useless anil valueless, as tho Beil Telephone Company has withdrawn its telephones from Venezuela as unprofitable. The scheme seems to have been a swindle from beginning to end. It will hurt Congressman Ben But torworth, the President of the company. He will return here from Cincinnati Tues day when a meeting of the board of direct ors will be held and Tyrcr will be deposed in short order. AN INGENIOUS REVOLUTION. The Japanese Premier’s Plan for Ob literating Social Distinctions. A Tokio correspondent of the London Times sets up an ingenious and powerful defense of the threatened revolution in Japanese dress. The news that the court of the Mikado had determined to adopt for ladies European fashions excited the keen est regret in all persons of good taste. Japanese dress is not ideal like that of an cient Greece. Some absolute merits it possesses. In simplicity, and, in most re spects, in ease and sanity qualities, it is ex cellent. It has its defects in point of beauty. As Japanese art in general, its quaintness sometimes impresses before its grace. I.i one point of supreme importance it is unassailable. Though its claims upon tho homage of sculptors and painters may be open to question, it is, beyond the possibility of dispute, exquis itely appropriate to Japan. Whatever her class, the Japanese dress belonging to her rank is sure to suit the woman who wears it. Nothing could be more becoming to her or more convenient to the vocation she fol low’s. To imagine her in any other garb is equally difficult and painful. As our correspondent remarks, Japanese women are not less fond than those of other coun tries of plentiful wardrobes. They have had the zest, in their accumulations, of a sense of security that no sudden change of fashion will turn their store into old clothes. Tho effect of the change in progress, if, as is probable, the example of sublime quarters lx' loyally imitated, must lie. in tne first place, to destroy the value of all this species of wealth. Count Ito, the Prime Minister of Japan, according to our correspondent, is the real author of the new heresy in taste. That, at least, explains the parailox of the Empress’ resort for her European dresses and bonnets to Berlin, of all towns, and not to Paris or Vienna. The change is a statesman’s pol icy, and not a feminine caprice. Count Ito, though a politician with views which would embrace the world, is also a Japanese with an abundant share of the national refine ment of eye. He is not to be charged with a deliberate preference for Western unpic turesquoness in costume. He uses fashions anil their modifications as an instrument for the accomplishment of objects he has at heart. Probably the mo tive which our correspondent places last will have been foremost in the Count’s plan. He resents distinctions between East and AVest. He feels that, as their modern fate is to be in contact, so long as a differ ence is preserved between them it will not be tlie West which will take the second rank. While they are twain the AVest will be first. He desires, therefore, so far as Japan is concerned, to have them treated as one. Dress is an obvious badge of a division of class; and his aim is to efface an outward sign of Japanese inferiority. He is not to bo supposed to like European millinery. *Ho would see as little charm in the triumphs of Parisian dressmaking as in the painstaking efforts of Berlin. He masses the whole of European styles as an identical type, and asks his countrywomen to adopt it as a warning to its inventors everywhere that Japan means to lx> treated and thought of as on the same plane with them. This is the intention of the change externally; and external relations are known to occupy an engrossing part in the Count’s projects. With relation to in ternal progress, though more vaguely, his meditations may tx: plausibly presumed to follow the general direction traced by our correspondent. The merits of existing Japa nese dress are hardly merits to him. It pre supposes acquiescence in tho old tenor of Japanese ideas, and he perceives that to lie no longer practicable or safe. In particu lar, it ki-ejis the women of Japan outside the influence of the social revolution which, for good or *ll, or both, is bearing onward their fathers, brothel’s and husbands. Its sim plicity and uniformity impress foreigners as delightful. They are, in his opinion, lia ble to tho fault of corresponding to the en tire six-ial system which relegates women to the jxisition of mere accessories to national life. He wishes , women no longer to keep to the groove marked out for them beside tlie broad highway of national development. Ho needs them as auxiliaries in the adjustment of the empire to its new character in the world at large. The strange idea of the possibility of a dif ferent fashion in dress from that to which their ancestresses adhered he casts among them as leaven likely to create a lasting effervescence. He is one of the courageous reformers who are prepares! to spread be wilderment and discomfort in order to eom jxd minds to bestir themselves. He lias the self-sacrificing heroism to shattern bewitch ing model, that hisstudent-s may be eoni tx'lh'd to form a standard for themselves. He does not even mind recommending the extravagance of expenditure on worthless trash in the place of permanent artistic fabrics, to make Japanese women look for ward and sideways instead of backward. I I | THEY GO BY FAVOR. And There are So Many Kinds of Kisses That a. List is Interesting. From (Ac Pliilndelpia Newt. There was all old lieliof that unless a maiden was kissed under the mistletoe at Christmas she would not lie married during the ensuing year. When Fox was contesting the hard-won sent at Westminster the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire offered to kiss all who voted for the great statesman. In the ceremonial of lietrothal a kiss has played an important part in several nations. A nuptial kiss in church, at the conclusion of the marriage services, is solemnly en joined hy the York missal and the Marti m Manual. The beautiful Lady Gordon, when the ranks of the Scottish regiments had Iss-n sadly thinned by cruel Hadajos and .Sala manca. turned recruiting sergeant, and to tempt the gallant lads placed the recruiting shilling in her lips, from whence who would might take it with his own. 11l Finland, according to Bayard Taylor, the women resent as an insult a salute ti|>on the lips. A Finnish matron, hearing of our English custom of kissing, declared that did her husband attempt such n liberty she would treat him with fuc’a a box upon the ears that he should not readily forget. In Wesley's journal, dated June 1(5, 17.58, is given tile following in description of a duel bet ween two officers at Limerick: “Mr, 11. proposed tiring at twelve yards, but Mr. J. said: ‘No; six is enough,’ So they kissed one another (poor farce!) and before they were five paces asunder both flrod at the instant.'’ The code of Justinian savs “that if a man betrothed a woman hy the kiss, and either party died before marriage, the heirs were entitled to half the donations and the sur vivor to tlie other half, but if the contract was made without the solemn kiss the whole of tlie espou al gifts must be restored to the donors and their heirs-at-law.” The Mohammedans, on their pious pi), grimage to Mecca, kiss the sacred black stone and the four corners of the koaha. I The Romish priest kisses the aspergillum, I and Palm Monday the palm. Kissing the I Pope’s toe was a fashion introduced by one of the Leos, who, it is said, hail mutilated his right hand and was ttx> vain to expose the stump. In Iceland kissing had deterrent penalties of great severity. For kissing another man’s wife, with or without her consent, the punishment of exclusion or its pecuniary equivalent was awarded. A man rendered himself liable for kissing an unmarried woman imder legal guardiahship without her consent, and even if the laxly consented the law required that every kiss should be wiped out by a fine of 3 marks, equivalent to 140 ells of wadmal, a quantity sufficient to furnish a whole ship’s crew with pilot jackets. In Russia the Easter salutation is a kiss. Each member of the family salutes the other; chance acquaintances on meeting kiss; principals kiss their employes; the general kisses his officers; the officers kiss their soldiers; the Czar kisses his family, retinue, court and attendants, and even his officers on parade, the sentinels at the palace gates, and a select party of private soldiers —probably elaborately prepared for this “royal salute.” In other parts the poorest serf, meeting a high-born dame in the street, has but to say: “Christ is risen,” and he will receive a kiss and the reply: “He is risen truly.” Hone, in his quaint old “Table-Book,” gives an account of a curious kissing festi val held in Ireland: “Easter Monday several hundred young persons of the town and neighborhood of Potsferry, county Down, resort, dressed in their best, to a pleasant walk near the town called ‘The Walter.’ The avowed object of each person is to see the fun, which consists in the men kissing the females, without reserve, whether married or single. This mode of salutation is quite a matter of course; it is never taken amiss, nor with much show of coyness. Tho female must be ordinary indeed w ho returns home without having received at least a dozen hearty busses.” How the Kaiser Escaped. From Blackwood. I had myself been in Berlin w’hon both attacks were made upon the life of the Emperor —when Hoedle shot at him from the crowd, and Nobling from a window overlooking the celebrated street, Unter den Linden. A curious little incident occurred upon the latter occasion. As the Emperor was going to his afternoon drive in the Thiergarten, he asked an attendant stand ing in the hall of the palace why such an unusual and gayly dressed crowd thronged the streets. “They go to see the Shall of Persia, your Majesty,” was the answer. “Ah, then I also must put on gala attire,” the Emperor remarked, smiling, and forth with took from a table his Prussian helmet, replacing with its steel plating the military cloth cap which he had before placed on his head. When a few hours later he was brought back to the palace, wounded and bleeding, the helmet was dented in several places where the mixed shot used by Nob ling had struck agaiast the metal. Had the unresisting cloth been there instead, who can tell how different the ending of the tragedy might have been ? Two or three days after the attempted assassination, the old monarch asked to see the clothes he had worn on that fatal day. Ixxiking at the military cape, riddled with shot, and the dents in the eagle-capped hel met, he turned to those standing by his bed side and with tears in his eyes said, pointing to the marks of tho bullets: “Thank God it was not one of my own Berlin men who did that!” Weather Indications.
