Senator Wall of Hillsborough county
moved that one vote be taken by ballot, in
stead of viva voce, but it was lost bv a good
majority. The result is quite as doubtful
as at any point in the contest. There is a
rumor that Judge Speer’s supporters will
abandon him as soon as some other candi
date can be found with a prospect of con
trolling more votes.
Ibo caucus then adjourned by a vote of 61
to 21.
The committee distributed the vote in

Hammond, Rainey and LaFar.
The Call men went into the caucus pre
pared to support Senator Wall's resolution
that no election of United States senator
shall be had until the nomination had been
made by the c aucus under the two-thirds
rule. The resolution came up as soon as the
roil call was over, and a motion to adopt it
was carried unanimously.
It is rumored that there is to be a minor
ity and majority report to-morrow on the
contest from Suwannee county.
Judge James G. Spear, the alliance candi
date for senator, arrived to-day. He was
warmly welcomed by his alliance brethren
and citizens generally. He has not sought
the office, but since his brethren have
entered bim for the race he will stand for
them until the end.
STOLK A CHURCH’S ORGAN.
Then He Dressed in Woman’s Clothes
and Dodged the Police.
Atlanta, Ga., April 20.—A peculiar
charge 1b that preferred against Tom Delks,
arrested by the police in an Atlanta suburb
last night. Delks is accused of purloining
the organ from the Rockwell Road church,
near here, and selling it to a congregation at
Duluth. The organ, which disappeared
about two months ago, was quickly recov
ered. It had been sold for SHU. Delks for a
long time managed to evade arrest by dress
ing himself in girl’s clothing, but, his sex
having been suspected, the officers set a trap
for him, and last evening pulled him out
from under a bed where he had taken refuge
after stripping off his misleading attire.
DROWNED IN THE HOMOBBABS4.
A Son of J. O. Lamon Hoses His Life
While Boating.
Ocala, Fla., April 20.—The 10-year-old
•on of J. C. Lamon of Homossassa was
drowned in the Homossassa river about 9
o’clock yesterday morning. The lost seen
of the little fellow alive was in a little boat
paddling down the river. The next time
the boat was seen it was empty and the
hoy’s hat was found on the seat. A dredg
ing party immediately began a search and
found the body near the landing in fifteen
feet of water. The body could bedistiuctly
seen that distance on the bottom of the
river. The boy was a bright little fellow.
His father is manager of the Lamon hotel
at Homossassa. The remains were interred
thin morning.
Pardon for a Forger.
Atlanta, April 20.—E. D. Sims, a Chat
ham county forger, will be pardoned by
the governor, unless his term has already
expired. An Atlanta special says the ques*
tion was raised too late yesterday after*
noon to get at the record in the penitentiary
office. The forgery perpetrated by Sims
appeared to have been trifling and harmless.
Thomas Superior Court.
Thomakvillk, Ga., April 20.—Thomas
county superior court convened to-day.
The city is full of lawyers, litigants, jurorsj
witness*! and the usual hangers on of a
court. No casts of general interest will

lives were lost. The Stockton was unin
sured, and was valued at 130,000. She will
be raised.
SOME FINANCIAL COLOSSI.
Gould and Huntington in the South
west and In Their Offices.
New York, April 18. —Seemingly as
sturdy as an ancient Norseman, in spite of
bis 70 years, that Viking of finance,
Collis P. Huntington, still skims the mone
tary seas seeking new conquests in the
realm of gold. Will efforts really be made
to unify the wholesouthwestern system and
the Gould and Hunlington interests! How
would it work when Texas is reached seeing
how largely Mr. Huntington is interested
in the Southern Pacific and the
carrying of freight by way of Gal
veston or by way of the Chesapeake,
Ohio and Southwestern and the Chesapeake
and Ohio to Newport News! As goon as
they cross the Mississippi river, Jay Gould
and Collis P. Huntington compete to a
greater or less extent in business. It be
comes a contest between two modern rail
road Titans. The Southern Pacific compre
hends fully 6,000 miles of railroad within its
system, and Mr. Huntington unquestionably
is still largely interested in its securities.
He undoubtedly sold a big block of
his stock iu the Chesapeake and Ohio to
Drexel, Morgan & Cos., who now act as the
transfer agents in New York, but he
squelched Iceland Stanford and is king of
the Southern Pacific, a mm who can cross
swords with Jay Gould to some purpose.
Mr. Huntington a few days ago left New
York for California. He will go to Newport
News and Louisville, perhaps to New Or
leans, and may attend the annual meeting
of the Southern Pacific at San Francisco
on April 8.
But speaking of Mr. Huntington and Mr.
Gould and rernemberiug wnat dire predic
tions concerning the health of Mr. Gould
have recently been so freely indulged in it
is of Interest to notice, in spite of an appear
ance of sturdiness, Mr. Huntington’s health
is declared to be bad. He is troubled with
a chronie affection of the throat. He has a
glass containing potash solution constantly
at hand, and miter speaking a few
moments in ordinary conversation he
gargled his throat many times dur
ing the day. He presents a picture of
an old man worth f.30,000,000 or ♦40,000,000,
a railroad czar over a vast stretch of terri
tory, who would probably be willing to
part with half of it for his son, yet childless
os I .eland Stanford is and as A. T. Stewart
was; a man of not a few genial traits, a
lover of pictures and the owner of one, the
figure of a beautiful child, which ho looks
at every morning as he might at a child of
flesh and blood because this painted sug
gestion, this thing of oil and canvas, seems
to say to the childless millionaire: “Good
morning, sir. I am very glad to see you.”
Stern in business, rapacious as a AA'illiam
the Conqueror in railroad invasion, where
ever it is possible, the man has his brighter
side. A'ery inaccessible, when he is once
reached in his office in the Mills building
he is geniality itself, though, of course, it
would he unsafe to presume upon this. He
and his wife are very charitable. He
spends large sums annually in benefactions
of all sorts. He is a great lover of pictures,
and has a fine collection. He Is very dra
matic in his tastes.
His name is sometimes associated with
the Atchison, Topeka aud Santa Fe rail
road, but he does not worry himself much
about it, though he says he owns “20,000 or
30,000 shares.”
Mr. Huntington has alwayß shown great
shrewdness in railroad affairs. Tbo fore
sight, the energy, the courege with which
be pushed through the original scheme for a
trans-continental railroad when it seemed
almost quixotic, revealed a statesmanlike
cast of mind. Rut os Achilles was vulner
able in his heel so C. P. Huntington has his
weak point, and that is in the publishing of
newspapers. He says he sunk SOOO,OOO in
publishing the ill-fated Star. Mr. Hunting
ton’s annual income has been estimated at
all the way from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000,
but publishing an unprofitable newspaper
will make a big hole in even such colossal
emoluments.
Another ’’Red Rover” of finance is J.
Pierpont Morgan, of Drexel, Morgan ffc
Cos., who is in London to consult with J. 8.
Morgan, who has been requested to take a
hand in settling the Argentine muddle. If
the two decide to embark in the under
taking it will mean big commissions, for
these men do not work fur nothing. Bam
uel J. Tilden once received $50,090 for
drawiug up a railroad mortgage that
was nothing [to what finan
ciers like Pierpont Morgan want
for financial sorvices. Like Mr.
Gould and Mr. Huntington, Mr. Pierpont
Morgan is reported to be in poor health. He
suffers from vertigo, and one night last fall
he fell in a dead faint at the Union League
Club, and had to be taken to his country
seat on the Hudson to recuperate. He is als >
troubled with erysipealas, and this gives a
rubicund look to his face, especially to his
nose, which is somewhat famous in Wall
street, and concerning which he is reported
to have remarked: “That nose cost me
$500,090, and it was all Burgundy."

WOMEN IN TROUSERS.
DR?SS REFORM COMING SLOWLY
BUT COMING SURELY.
Women Can Wear Knickerbockers
About Their Housework With Com
fort to Themselves and They Afc ill
Look Pretty-Ladies of Leisure and
Shop Girls Are Alike Benefltted.
From the .\eir York World.
Do you wear knickerbockersi
Thousands of women do!
Dress reform, like every other revolution,
comes slow, yet women are nearer success
in achieving it than ever before. A World
reporter finds that it is meeting with greater
favor than ever before. It has been agi
tated for the last twenty years, from the
ugly Bloomer costume and Dr. Mary
Walker’s unmanly pantaloons to Mme.
Jenness-Miller’s divided skirt, yet none of
these styles jiave become popular.
AYhile the divided skirt has been more
favored than the others, still it is practi
cable and only suitable for the professional
dancer who imitates the famoiu gaiety
actress, Letty Lind.
There it is indispensable, but for the
house it is cumbersome and up in the street
simply a nuisance, for it clings about the
limbs and makes walking a burden, while
on a windy day pedestrianism becomes an
impossibility. But no such complaint can
be lodged against knickerbockers. First
clothe the body in silken undergarments,
which are not only luxurious but warm;
then put on stockings of the same texture
and you are ready for the knickerbockers,
which are made exactly like those worn hy
men.
Many discard the corset altogether in the
house and fasten the cute little trousers
with suspenders just like the “lords of crea
tion” do theirs. Then, to finish the pictur
esque get-up, a blouse waist fashioned
sailorwise is added, which is comfortable to
a degree and decidedly taking, aud you are
dressed in a twinkling and ready to write,
sew or read with infinitely more comfort
than you ever experienced in skirts.
Have near at hand a stylish tea gown to
jump into when callers are announced who
are too conservative to digest your knick
erbockers, aud there you are, presentable at
once.
The costume is pretty and practical, and
moreover, the first of the kind that does not
unsex the wearer.
Mon object to the change in dress becauee
it' detracts, they argue, from the charm of
modesty, which is the scepter by which
women rule, but in reality it is the dainty
white linen and frills of filmy lace, which
are so suggestive and cater to their senses,
that they miss.
It is said that the fastidious Fifth avenue
belle now comes down to her late breakfast
in knickerbockers, and in the homes of
millionaires it is no unusual thing to find
every member of the family in trousers in
pre:erence to the former neglige gown,
which occupied such an important place in
the wardrobe, ami it is becoming a serious
question whet her the knickorbocker shall be
worn when men are present or not.
The suit is so becoming to the average
woman that it is only a matter of time when
it will be theexceptionnottoseo our women
in trousers and the men will soon fall into
the Idas, for a beautiful face and figure are
set off to the very best advantage in this
unique dress.
Only very stout and painfully thin women
look out of place in knickerbockers, but you
see both extreme* in their silken trousers
blissfully ignorant of the grotesque figure
they cut.
It is the funniest sight in the world to see
a woman In her knickerbockers for the first
time. You can compare her to nothing
save a boy who has just Bhed his skirts and
is not quite used to his legs.
She unconsciously tries to cover her
lower extremities, and gingerly crosses her
feet as if afraid of breaking something, but
after two or three trials she becomes accus
tomed to the freedom that the lack of petti
coats gives her, and in an incredibly short
time forgets all about herself in the perfect
degree of comfort she enjoys.
The gotting into knickerbockers is a prob
lem not easily solved by the fair sex, for to
encase one’s self in trousers aud go about it
like a man is what not one woman out of
ten can do even after w-eeks of practice.
She will try to balance herself on one leg,
and bv the time success has partially
crowned her effort, she will be too tired to
proceed further without resting, and when
the second attempt is made she invariably
gets into the wrong side of them. Finally,
however, after repeated failures, the de
votee of the knickornocker sits down and
resignedly puts on her trousers in the most
unmanly sort of a way, registering a silent
vow never to imitate her husband again in
the method of donning his attire.
One of the most prominent actresses sent
an invitation to a friend to lunch with her
a few days ago. She came forward to greet
her company in an exquisite suit of knick
erbockers, and she was more irresistible in
trousers than in any role she ever assumed
behind the fo itlights, and she said that she
was so much in love with the costume that
her manager was arranging a play where
in she would have an opportunity to Bhow
the New York public how well she looks in
knickerbockers. And if she wears the
gray velvet trousers, little zouave
jacket and loose pink shirt, to say noth
ing about the dainty shoes and the
mite of a cap heavy with gold thread that
crowned hor auburn curls, there is a treat
in store for the theatre-goers of this city.
A woman in knickerbockers can go out in
the most severe weather, and return without
any fear of pneumonia or bronchitis, be
cause she will not be weighted down by wet
and bedraggled skirts.
Her gown, which she wears over her
trousers, she can readily manage, and she
comes back from her walk in the snow or
rain not only clean but dry, which no
woman ever does who Is burdened with
petticoats.
Then, from an economical standpoint,
the laundry bill, for instance, is something
to be considered.
The trousers and waists being made of
velvet, silk, or, for that matter, cloth, are
not included in the wash list, and the silk
tights and stockings, even if changed three
or four times a day, would scarcely make
such an inroad upon the pocketbook as the
multitude of skirts are duty-bound to do if
one wishes to be immaculate.
8o there is a strong argument in favor of
knickerbockors, to say nothing more.
Of course, the wealthy women have no
cause to think of dollars and cents, but it is
the working woman aud those in moderate
circumstances who are obliged to curtail
expeuves to make ends meet to whom this
will appeal. Those who cannot afford to
indulge in silken underwear can buy fine
woolen garments at any dry goods store in
the city that will answer the same purpose,
and are far more durable, and equally com
fortable and healthy. 80, if one is disposed,
they can dress in knickerbockers, and dain
tily, too, for one-fonrth of what it costs to
make a decent appearance In gowns.
At the same time there is plenty of op
portunity to be extravagant in the choice of
trousers, for they can lie made of trie finest
velvets and silks and richly embroidered up
the sides of each leg and finished with a
ruffle of rare old lace at the bottom which is
worth its weight in gold and many times
over.
Even the stockings are oftentimes ex
quisitely wrought with the needle to cor
respond with the trousers, while the collar
and cuffs of the blouse are heavy with the
same dainty work aud, like the knicker
bockers, finished with frills of priceless lace.
Cue of the most beautiful of the married
belles in society has some of her finest jewels
set as buttons, which adorn the sides of her
trousers, three on each leg beiug the regu
lation number.
For her white velvet knickerbockers she
has large sapphires set in Etruscan gold,
while the fiery opal gleams from her black
velvet trousers legs; but that is going to ex
tremes, aud few would care to indulge in
such a costly whim, even if their jewel case
was replete with gems.
She also has a natty little cap made to
match every suit, which sets off her short,
blonde curls to perfection, and when she
takes out her golden cigarette case and
lights one of her Russian c nfections she is
a picture; in fact, the very handsomest boy
ever seen.
Knickerbockers make a woman look ten
years younger.
Now, where is one of the fair sex who will
hesitate very long after that fact dawns
upon her.
Our female physicians almost invariably
wear knickerbockers, and find them an ab
solute blessing, called as they are from their
homes at all hours of the day and night.
One of the most famed among them told
me quite recently, that although at first she
did not take kindly to the idea, now she
could not be induced to wear anything
else.
Actresses who have to be at rehearsal in
all sorts of weather, and at the theater no
matter what chances, have been, aud are,
the most enthusiastic over knickerbockers,
and many of them say that they wear them
continually, save when actually upou the
stage.
The class of women who would be most
benefited by trousers are the shop girls,
who are obliged to stand all day in their
wet and muddy skirts, but they are the
very ones, strange as it may seem, who re
fuse to entertain the idea in the slightest
degree.
why is it? AVhen the woman of fashion
sits in her boudoir, goes to the opera, drives
in the park and lends her graceful presence
to the art receptions, clad in her knicker
bookers, and her less fortunate sistor, who
can afford only one servant and resides in
apartments, gets through her household
duties with less fatigue than formerly be
cause she also is in trousers, I cannot com
prehend why the saleswomen sniff the air
when the subject is mentioned.
Are they prudes i r are they possessed
with the idea that they must march to the
polls once they are in knickerbockers?
Surely they cannot lay claim to a greater
share of modesty than the rest of their sex.
It does not follow that a woman wants to 1
vote because sue wears trousers, in fact it is
the exception, not the rule, when she does, j
Tue most charming, best educated, and
without doubt the most refined women in
the city wear knickerbockers, yet they have
probably never thought of such a thing.
It is the age of independence for women,
and they are making gigantic strides to
ward the front, and why should they not do
so in trousers! That the time will ever
come when trousers are worn openly on the
street without the gown over them is doubt
ed, but for the house there is every reason
why they should prove the favorite costume,
becauee they are not only extremely com
fortable, but decidedly becoming, and
therein lies the ultimate triumph of knick
erbockers.
LEFT SIO,OOO IN HIB WILL
To the Widow of the Man Whom His
Bon Had Killed.
Elmira, April 19.—Five or six years ago
Elbert P. Cook, the leading banker in Ha
vana, and the big man of the town, as his
father, the founder of Cook academy, had
been before him, suddenly disappeared
from home, and it was immediately dis
covered that the funds of the bank were in
a deplorable state. He fled to Buenos
Ayres, and was afterward joined by his
family. Becoming embroiled in trouble
with the son of a man named John Gluck,
of Minneapolis, the young man shot him, a
stray bullet also killing his daughter. The
widow returned here, but remarried, and
is now said to be living in the west, and in
needy circumstances.
Mr. Gluck being a very charitable man
several times offered her asslstanoe, but sbe
always declined. He died last week, and iu
his will to-day was found a codloll provid
slo,ooo for the wlduw of the man whom his
son had killed.
“FLAY THBM ALIVE.”
Anna Dickinson’s Request for the
Sword of Gideon.
New York, April 19.—Miss Anna D.
Dickinson was in the city yesterday con
sulting with bor counsel, Howe & Hummel.
She told Mr. Hummel that she hoped that
he would “flay the Philadelphia people
alive, on the trial, and declared that she
wanted the sword of the Lord and of Gideon
to descend on the creatures who had im
mured her in Danville for five weeks and a
day.
Miss Dickinson says it is’ altogether
probable that she would be heard on the
lecture platform within a fortnight. She
felt that she had a mission to perform, that
she had something to say in which the pub
lic was deeply interested, and, besides, she
needed money.
