A NEW PLAN FOR TERMINAL.
Be Reorganizers Modify Their First
Plan.
The Assessment on the Common Stock
Reduced From $12.50 to 310 Per
Share— Eight Roads Excluded From
Participating: in the New Scheme.
The MacoD and Northern Road One
of Those on the List.
New York. March I.—The Drexel, Mor
gan x Cos. Richmond Terminal reorgani
zation committee have picked their flint
and determined to try it a train. After
business hours to-day the committee is
sued anew pamphlet entitled “Plan of
Reorganization as Modiiied.”
The modifications are numerous, but
not radical. The committee admits the
Impossibility of carrying out the original
plan, but insists that with alterations
now recommended, auccessful reorganiza
tion will be promptly accomplished, and
to the inestimable advantage of all con
cerned. The changes now contemplated
have, according to the committee, been
made imperative by the disastrous
financial conditions which have
prevailed throughout the country ever
since the original plan was published and
the consequent great decrease in earnings
of the railroads included in it. Among
imi>ortant changes now proposed is the
leaving out of the “Cincinnati Exten
sion.'the Memphis and Charleston, and
some other lesser lines. The assessment
on Terminal common stock is reduced
troth #1 ‘2.50 to $lO and a reduction in the
assessment on East Tennessee common
stock is also made.
THE RECOMPENSE TOR ASSESSMENTS.
Acain, whereas the original plan pro
vided that new preferred stock should be
given dollar for dollar for assessments, it
is now proposed to give <5 per cent, in
preferred stock and 25 per cent, in bonds
for such assessments.
A temporary scaling down of fixed
charges from the amount estimated under
the old plan is to be effected by requiring
various securityholders to fund into pre
ferred stock some coupons of the new
bonds they receive. The majority of the
present underlying bondholders will bo
required to make this concession.
The new system under the reorganiza
tion as now proposed, will embrace about
4.600 miles, and the aggregate new capi
talization on it will be $101,000,000 of
bonds, $48,000,000 of preferred, and $120,-
000,000 of common stock.
The committee reports great
progress in all formal legal proceedings,
such as foreclosures, etc., necessary to
the reorganization plan.
It appears that the modifications of the
plan now urged are just and reasonable,
and what is more, to the purpose, if they
are not a '.opted reorganization will be im
practicable and the valuable properties
embraced in the plan will drift into ruinous
chaos, from which it will be exceedingly
difficult, if ever possible, to deliver them.
It is. therefore, devoutly to be hoped that
all parties in interest will co-operate
heartily under the revived plan and that
reorganization mus proceed swiftly and
successfully.
Th: guarantee syndicate, which was
such an important feature of the original
pian, has, itself, been modified, though by
no means dissolved, as has been suspected.
It still exists, and guarantees the supply
of 510,50u.00u in cash to insure the success
of the modified plan.
SIGNERS OF THE PLAN.
The amended plan of reorganization is
signed by C. H. Coster, George S. Her
man. and Anthony J. Thomas, as a com
mittee of reorganization. The original
plan excluded the East Tennessee, Vir
ginia and Georgia. Cincinnati ex
tension, the Memphis and Charles
ton, and the Mobile and Birmingham
railroads, and the new plan excludes the
Chester and Lenoir, the Choraw and
Chester, the Spartanburg, Union of
Columbia, the Richmond and Mecklen
burg. the Northeastern of Georgia, the
Asheville and Spartanburg, and the
Macon and Northern railroads.
The committee says that al
though about as percent, of the Richmond
Terminal stock has been assessed and the
assessment so far as called has been paid,
and also, though to a lesser extent, on
the Last Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
stocks, a general feeling has prevailed
that in view of the change in the linan
<al conditions the committee should fairly
endeavor to lighten the assessment anil
to allow bonus for some portion thereof.
AN ASSESSMENT REDUCED.
it lias, therefore, reduced the assess
irn uis ou Richmond Terminal common
and Last Tennessee c ommon by 20 per
ctn in amount, and instead of allowing
tliereiore, on preferred stock, it allows
foi the amount of all assessments on the
'■ ’ basis, one-fourth in bonds bearing

CLEVELAND'S OUTING.
The President Watches the Drawing
in of Big Net.
Elizabeth, N. C., March I.—President
Cleveland and party are moving still
further away from civilization. Yester
day morning the Violet was lying at Long
Point, near the foot of the Albemarle and
Chcsapeaks canal. After affording the
Party an opportunity to try them skill on
ducks in the early morning, the little
steamer hauled up her anchor and started
away to the southward. She crossed
Albemarle sound and entered Crouton
sound, about, thirty miles from the morn
ing starting point. Here the vessel an
chored and the party passed the night
quietly in the glare of the Croatou sound
light, which was close at hand.
The presidential party did not try its
luek at gunning this morning, but iustead
went on a sight seeing expedition. Pres
ident Cleveland and Secretary Gres
ham are early risers, and by 8 o'clock
breakfast had been ■ dispatched,
and tire members of the party began their
trip. The first point of interest was at a
seine hauling, at Weymouth Point, on
the mainland. The fisheries at this poiut
are among the most extensive on the At
lantic coast. Shad and herring and
striped bass, or roach fish, have already
begun their spring migration from the
deep waters of the Atlantic to the spawn
ing grounds. They enter the North Car
olina sounds off Wilrnipgton and through
the inlet at Hatterus, and at Oregon and
New inlet, and find their spawning beds
in numerous streams runniug into the
sounds from the mainland. President
Cleveland, Secretary Gresham and Capt.
Evans landed from the Violet iu a gig and
inspected the working of the Davis and
Weymouth fishery on Croaton sound. The
tide was favorable and the party was in
time to see one haul of the great seine.
This net is about two miles long, and
owing to its great length and weight is
beyond the capacity of human labor to
handle, so steam power is called upon.
The party saw the seine carefully stowed
on the stern of the two steam flats, as
tney are known. The boats swept across
the sound and returned, forming almost
a circle, and paying out the seine as they
ran. Reaching the shore the lines were
attached to steam windlasses, and in the
course of an hour tho great seine was
landed, bringing in its meshes barrels of
fish of all kinds. The President was much
interested in the sight.
Taking to their gig again the party
then crossed Croaton island and landed
on Roanoke Island, about two miles dis
tant. Here conveyances were taken, and
the party visited some of the historical
points on the island, including Fort
Raleigh and Ballast Point, where Sir
iValter Raleigh loaded the ballast which
ne brought in his little ship from Eng
land on one of his voyages to-tbe new
world. The President also stopped for u
time at the quaint little village of Man
teo, thus touching civilization for the
first time since leaving Washington last
Sunday.
CORNELL’S FATAL BANQUET.
Students Refuse to Answer Questions
Before the Coroner’s Jury.
Ithaca, N. Y., March I.—The hearing
before tho coroner's jury in the Cornell
banquet tragedy had been in progress but
a short time to-day when F. L. Taylor,
room mate of L. C. L. Din gens,
toward whom suspicion pointed, took
the stand, and the sensation of the
day occurred. He was asked his name
and address, which he gave. He was
then asked if Mr. Dingens was his room
mate, and astonished every one by an
swering: “I refnso to answer by advice of
my counsel.” He refused to' give any
other ./reason except “By advice of
counsel.”
The room was then closed to the public,
but later it was learned that there are
under arrest, by direction of the coroner,
for refusing to answer questions put to
them, F. L. Taylor of Plainfield, N. J.;
C. H. Mitchell of New Y’ork, Charles G.
Gorby of Pittsburg, Pa.. Earl Stinson of
Cincinnati, O.; and C. L.‘ Dinaens of
Buffalo, K. \ r All these young men re
fused to answer, “by advice of counsel.
Dingens, it is claimed, refused to answer
on the ground that it would be liable to
incriminate him. The inquest was ad
journed until March 15, and all the stu
dents named except Dingens were sub
poened to appear before the grand^ury.
A NEGRO POSTMASTER JAILED.
It is Suspected That He Set Fire to the
Office.
Charleston, S. C., March 1. —A special
to tho News and Courier from Sumter, S.
C., says: “Henry Tindall, colored, ex
postmaster at Packsville, S. C., was
arrested to-day under the charge of rob
bing and then burning the postoffice at
the place above named. When Tindall’s
successor was appointed there was on
hand in the postoffice about S6OO iu
cash. The night before he was
to turn over the office ar.d books
to his successor the building was burned,
and he claimed it was the work of an in
cendiary. and that all the books and
money and office furniture had been de
stroyed. The suspicions of the citizens
were aroused, and every effort was made
to bring the guilty party or parties, for it
is asserted that there is an organized
gang of thieves and plunderers there
abouts, to justice. It is believed that evi
dence sufficient to convict Tindall and
some of his pals has been secured.”
BURR AT THE BAR,
The Cashier Claims That He Is Not
Guilty of Criminal Intent, ons.
St. Louis, Mo., March I.—At 10 o’clock
this morning ex-Cashier William E. Burr.
Jr., of the St. Louis National Bank, who

him with embezzling about SI2,(NK) of
the bank's funds, appeared before
United States District Commissioner

that he is guilty ol no criminal intention,
and when his story is told, he will te de
clared innocent of any intent to de
fraud.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1894.
FRYE ENDS HIS FI'SILADE,
He Looks Upon Blount’s Report as
Devoid ot Truth.
The Commissioner Accused of Failing
to Seek Facts From Official and Re
liable Sources—Ris Failure to Ques
tion the Naval Officers Commented
On—Gray Defends the Georgian.
Dolph Talks on the Tariff.
Washington, March I.—ln the Senate
to-day a resolution was offered by Mr.
Cullom. rep., of Illinois, and laid aside
temporarily, for the appointment of a
tariff committee of nine members to equal
ize rates of duties on tho basis of Euro
pean and American wages.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
Voorhees appointing Mr. Mills a member
of the committee on finance during the
absence and disability of Mr. Vance was
laid before the Senate, and Mr. Voorhees
withdrew it, saying: “By the request—
indeed, by the demand, of the Senator
from Texas, from which he has refused
to be persuaded, I withdraw that resolu
tion.”
Mr. Frye resumed his speech on the
Hawaiian question, taking it up where ho
had left off yesterday—the consideration
of Air. Blount's report. Ho had hereto
fore, he said expressed his belief that
there was not one plain, unprejudiced,
unvarnished particle of truth in that re
port; and did not now desire to re’ise
that opinion. He could not account for
Mr. Blount’s report, or for his methods
of investigation. He did not know where
Mr. Blount's prejudice came from, unless
it was from that old bitter feciing be
tween cavaliers and round heads.
BLOUNT’ SEARCH FOR FACTS.
Facts were to be found by Mr. Blount;
but Air. Blount did not seek them where
they were to be found. He did not seek
them from President Dole, or from the
members of the provisional government,
who were familiar with all the facts.
Mr. Blount went for his facts to the
men who had eaten the crumbs from the
queen's table. He went to her parasites.
He went to British sympathizers on the
islands. Over sixty of those men had
come before Mr. Blount. He had called
on the members of the queen’s cabinet—
on Colburn, Sam Parker and Cornwell.
These, as the chairman of tho committee
on foreign relations said, were wretched
men, and in them the truth did not lie.
They deceived Commissioner Blount and
led him to deceive the President of the
United States. It was thus that the
chairman of the committee on foreign re
lations excused Mr. Blount and excused
the President.
DIDN’T QUESTION OUR NAVIL OFFICERS.
Mr. Blount had not gone for facts to
the officers of the United States ship
Boston, which was lying there. Her offi
cers were intelligent men—men who
would never tell an untruth, as Mr.
Blount knew. They had been participa
tors in the entire affair. They had been
on shore, investigating from the time it
commenced until the time it closed. They
could have told him all about it. But
yet he liad never called on a single officer
of the ship Boston to find the facts, ex
cept Lieut. Svrinburn; and he had simply
asked Lieut. Swi.nburn to inform him, iu
writing, at what time Minister Stevens
recognized the provisional government.
Mr. Biount had never asked Minister
Stevens one single question. He had
taken the testimony o$ witnesses dispar
aging to Mr. Stevens, but had never com
municated to him one word of what they
said.
Mr. Frye quoted largely from the testi
mony in condemnation of Mr. Blount's
course in his investigation, and read por
tions of the statements of Mr. Steven3,
Mr. Thurston and President Dole. who.
ho said, this country had learned to
respect.
He bad read, he said, the statements of
at least two witnesses to show that the
entire provisional government practically
called on Mr. Blount' and offered to give
him any information which lie might de
sire, and that Mr. Blount said in reply,
that he should be happy to receive it,
and that he would notify them when he
could.
FELT A DELICACY.
Mr. Gray reminded Mr. Frye that Mr.
Blount had called on President Dole and
his cabinet and signified to them that ho
would be glad to hear them, but that he
felt a delicacy in requesting them to come
before him, as members of the govern
ment itself.
Mr. Frye said that he had read testi
mony giving direct contradiction to that
statement of Mr. Blount.
Mr. Gray said that Mr. Blount had
testified, under oath, that the members
of the provisional government had had an
opportunity to make statements before
him; and that Mr. Smith, tho attorney
general of the provisional government,
said the same thing.
Mr. Frye passed away from that point
and proceeded to disclose the question
whether thero had been any conspiracy
to provoke a revolution. The President of
the United States, lie said, asserted that
there had been: and Mr. Blount asserted
that there had been. Mr. Frye argued
that there was no proof of it, and he
denied that there had boon any.
LANDING OF THE TROOPS.
Mr. Frye read numerous extracts from
the testimony to show that the landing
of the troops for tho protection of life and
property of Americans had been neces
sary. He also read testimony to negative
the idea that any aid had been given to
the provisional government by the United
States troops; that any promise of aid
had bei n made, or that there had
been, on tho part of the pro
visional government, any expectation that
it would receive any aid from the United
States troops.
Mr. Fryo, in con tusion, apologized to
the Senate for having wearied it with
such extensive extracts from the testi
mony, and said : “If there is any weight
to be given to character, behind words, if
there is any such thing as preponderance
of testimony, then the foundation on
which President Cleveland has builded
his st ructure has disappeared, and the
edifice has fallen forever.”
GRAY DEFENDS BLOUNT.
Mr. Gray thought that something ought
to be said iu relation to a very honorable,
able gentleman (Mr. Blount,) who was
not present, and who had been attacked
by the senator from Maine, for tbe man
ner in which lie had conducted a most im
portant public duty. Tho specific enargo
was that Mr. Blount had studiously ab
stained from taking the testimony or
hearing the statements of those who
were members of the pro visional govern
ment, or who were its supporters or s.ym
pathigeis. Mr. Gray read Mr. Blount's
statement before the committee under
oath, to prove tho contrary, and to show
that it was not true that ho had ignored
such testimony, and had confined himself
to the testimony of those who were op
pos and to the pro visional government.
The matter went over without further
discussion.
DOLPII TALKS ON THE TARIFF.
At 3:15 o'clock the unfinished business
was taken up, being the Sonate bill to
provide additional accommodations for
the government printing office: and Mr.
Dolph, rep., of Oregon, addressed the
Senate, using the printing office bill as
the text for a tariff speech. He thought
that if the democratic caucus had agreed
that the VVilson bill should be abandoned
and that the existing tariff law should
not be disturbed, there would he revenues
enough to support the government and to
provide for all necessary public works.
The bill, he said, is to tie remodeled, not
in the interest of the country’s indus-
tries, but that the votes of the senators
from West Virginia. Maryland. and Louis
iana, shall be secured and that the sena
tor from Ohio, Mr. Brice, and the sena
, tors from New York may be placated.
To-day the destinies of the industries of
. the country are in the hands of three
senators who are conspicuous in the
southern confederacy. The ma ority of
the finance committee is composed mainly
of senators who were conspicuous in the
great offort to destroy the union;
and another memoer of th'
majority was conspicuous dur
; ing the late war for his supposed
I sympathy with the leaders of the late
: war. Mr. Dolph went on to criticise the
action of the finance committee in refus
ing hearings to the representatives of la
bor and industries of the country, and
said that the true reason for that refusal
, was that the majority of that committee
■ was hopelessly wedded to free trade,
I olind to the object lesson, which the ex
isting condition afforded, deaf to the cries
|of unemployed labor and idlo of capital,
and determined to destroy the protective
system.
CALLED A SECTIONAL BILL.
The Wilson bill, he said, was a sec
tional bill. It attacked every industry of
the north, and was admirably designed
for the degradation of American labor
“But,” said Mr. Dolph, excitedly, “the
day of reckoning is approaching; the
handwriting is on the wall, the people re
pudiate you (meaning the democrats), and
the next House of Representatives wijl be
as overwhelmingly republican as the pres
ent one is democratic.”
"Populist.” Mr. Allen suggested, by
way of correction.
•’The next President of the United
States.” Mr. Dolph went on. heedless of
the interruption, "will be a republican.”
•Populist,” again came from Air. Allen.
“And the people of this country never
will rest." exclaimed Mr. Dolph. without
regard to the interruption, “until by their
ballots they have placed the jmrty of pro
tection in a position to undo the mischief
which this congress has already done,
and will yet do.”
ALLEN CHALLENGES DOLFn.
Mr. Allen challenged Mr. Dolph to
show that representatives of the working
men had applied for hearings and had
been refused, and said that he had been
informed by one of the great leaders of a
labor organization, which numbered hun
dreds of thousands of working men,
that they had no desire to be heard be
fore the finance committee. It was the
manufacturers who desired to be heard
and who put themselves forward as the
guardians of the laboring man.
The controversy between the two sena
tors continued for another half hour, and
was finally brought to a close by tho
Senate going into executive session ; after
which, at 4:25 o’clock, it adjourned till
Monday next.
M’KANE IN SING SING.
He Sends Home His Diamonds and
Dons the Prison Svit.
New York, March I.—Another stop in
the fight to keep John Y’. McKano from
Sing Sing was taken before Justice Bar
rett, of tho supreme court, this noon. It
took the form of an order to show
cause why a certificate of reason
able doubt should not be granted
in the case and a preliminary stay pend
ing the decision of the application for the
older. The application was made by law
yer Uhas. W. Brooks. Brooks presented
a brief affidavit in support of his motion.
He also made an informal argument be
fore the judge. At 2 o’clock Judge Bar
rett denied the application.
M’KANE AT SING SING.
Sing Sing, N. ,Y.. March I.—John Y.
McKane arrived at the Sing Sing depot
at 3:12 o’clock in charge of Sheriff But
litig and Inspector Williamson. The party
got off on the river side of the train and
walked down the track to the prison,
where they arrived at 3:25
o’clock. McKane was met in the
clerk's office by Chief Clerk Conwin and
Deputy Clerk Westlake. Upon being ex
amined $25 was found in his pockets.
Clerk Westlake took his diamond stud,
diamond cuff buttons and diamond ring,
which he sent home. AlcKane gave his
pedigreo as follows: Occupation, builder;
ago 51; married; religion, Methodist:
born in Ireland; does not use tobacco or
liquor. After giving bis pedigree he was
taken to the state shop at 3 '."5 o’clock,
where he was given a bath, a shave and a
prison suit.

Danville, Va., March I.—Gen. John B.
Gordon delivered his famous lecture on
the “Last Days of the Confederacy” in the
Academy of Music in this city to-night.
An immense audience was in attendance,
and tho ovation with which he was met
both at tho depot and the’academy,
manifested the high esteem which every
southern heart contains for the gallant
general.
Two Attempts at Burglary.
Callahan, Fla., March I.—Two bold at
tempts at Durglary were made hero to
ri -ht before 10 o’clock. The thief first
attempted to enter the residence of Rev.
N. S Wainwright, but the oecuponts
were aroused, and he was ‘welcomed
with a pistol shot, but without serious
effect.
The next attempt was at Jerry Googe’s
store. Mr. Googe sleeps over the store
and, hearing a noise, went to investigate,
when the thief became frightented and
ran off.
It was in a large department store that a
giliieU yo .cn tim e . to tue candy counter.
”4>o you know,' he said to the pretty young
woman in charge, "if t were the proprietor of
this establishment 1 should dismiss you.-”
Why?” she asked indignantly.
"In order to give the candy a chance," he
answered And she gave him a pound and a
quarter of 75-cant candy for 50 cents.—Free

St. Paul, Feb. 19.—Frank Rowell,
mayor ol Lacrosse, who has for the last
twenty yearß been a warm friend of
Col. Cody, said to-day that there would
certainly be a duel if Fred Way could bo
coaxed to fight. Mayor Rowell said fur
ther: “The trouble was not over an act
ress, but over an American girl who was
visiting in I-omlon when both Col. Cody
and May were there. This girl, whose
name I withhold because of the notoriety
it would bring her. went to Col. Cody one
afternoon and told him that Mav was
giving her attention, bqt that his atten
tion was not that of a gentleman. A few
days later May and Cody were present at
the same banquet, and Col. Cody calmly
said to May that he ought, as a gentle
man, to discontinue his offensive atten
tions. May grew red in the face and
wanted to tight then and there. There
was no blood spilled because of interfer
ence of others.
May ketit up his visits to the American
girl, and she came to Col. Cody one after
noon crying and said that May was be
coming so offensive that she could not
longer bear him. At this Col. Cody wrote
May the following:
“I will whip you on sight.”
The men bad not met in nearly seven
years, but Col. Cody started in to keep
his word, and would have succeeded if
tho people present in the restaurant had
not got between them. The girl over
whom the tronble occurred is a good
American girl, in whom Col. Cody had no
other interest than that of a friend.
TOM BEED A GREAT EATER.
A Prize Won by tho Congressman for
Having “Natural Capacity.”
From the Philadelphia Record.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 25.—At tho
Gridiron Club dinner last night there was
present a delegation of members of tho
Turtle Bay Breakfast Club, of New York,
as the guests of the club; but in accord
ance with the customs of their organiza
tion the guests became the cooks, stew
ards and waiters for tho hosts. At one
end of the historic parlors of Wormley’s
Hotel was a real kitchen, made all tho
more picturesque by a stage setting fur
nished by the National Theater, repre
senting the interior of a typical Condon
tavern, with a cavernous dre place, an
old spinning wheel, with ancient muskets
and cutlasses, curious old clocks and
other appropriate settings.
When the doors were opened the mem
bers of the visiting club —ere disclosed in
their caps and aprons. The steaks were
cooked in the presence of the guests and
served on bread without the accompani
ment of knife, fork or plates.
Cabinet officers, senators and other
members of the congress, including ex-
Speakeo Read, were among tho guests at
this novel entertainment. “Tab” was
kept of the gastronomic performance of
the leading guests, and the climax of the
evening was reached when Mr. Hay, on
behalf of the Beefsteak Club, presented
to Mr. Heed, as the guest who had eaten
the greatest number of beefsteaks, a
medal, silver on one side and leather on
the other, and suitably engraved.
Mr. Reed made a happy response, stating
that he had earned this trophy through
“natural capacity.”
LIBERTY’S STATUE IN DECAY.
Patriotic Citizens Will Maintain the
Beacon, But the Goddess Cannot
Last Long.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Washington, Feb. 27 —lt is very prob
ably that the government will soon trans
fer to tho Sons of the American Revolu
tion or some kindred patriotic society the
privilege of maintaining the beacon light
on the statue of liberty in New York
harbor.
It is said that already the statue shows
alarming signs of dissolution. The thin
veneer of copper, of which the statue is
made, is already rusted through in many
places so that one can readily seo to as
cend the stairs without the aid of artifi
cial light. It is not believed that even
with the excellent care, the lighthouse
board has bestowed upon the statue it can
hardly be expected to last more than ten
or fifteen years longer.
The society, which seeks to relievo the
government of the expenseot maintaining
the beacon, now runs a ferry line to Bed
loe's Is.aud and have already accumu
lated about $50,000 which it is willing to
expend In replacing the electric light
plant, which is nearly worn out, and in
maintaining the light indefinitely.
FIVE CHILDREN AT A BIRTH.
Mrs. David Rosenberger Astonishes
Her Littl < Husband.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Kittanning. Pa., Feb. 27 All previous
records in Pennsylvania, if not in the
country, were smashed to smithereens,
when Mrs. David Rosenberger, a diminu
tive farmer’s wife, gave birth to five
bouncing babies, at her home near this
borough last night.
The children, all of whom are well de
veloped and full of animation, are three
girls and two boys. They appear to bo
strong, and the attending physician says
that all of them are likely to live and grow
up. But the astounded father, who is 40
years old and only 5 feet tall, has by no
means recovered from his surprise,
though Mrs. Rosenberger is quite as well
as could be expected.
“i thought,” said Farmer Rosenberger
with a sigh to a neighbor to-day, “that
we were coming*to a time of astonishing
pluralities when they bepan to count up
tho vote for Grow a week But oh,
my! I didn't look for anything like this
—hard times, and five babies at once!”
