Chicaoo. January 15.-Dispatches pub- .. V,„i m th,. East describe with much de- ^ the plans and preparations of the So- Sisu. of Chicago to put some of their tbeo- riesinto practice From these it appears 5?. formidable number of men have Cn armed with bombs and grenades and S await a suitable opportunity to declare criminate warfare upon every- thiac in defiance of law and 5S5. »“‘ l ,he “p 14 * 1 ’ p«’P ert y- ®? J SJple interested in prosecuting and de- ina these conditions; that the mililia "d^ice the Socialists OJ»ct to annihiU- Z without any trouble, and the buildings helonuing to the obnoxious people are to swept out of existence by means of dyna- Bite, and that everything is ready fora crand catastrophe. These dispatchea have occasioned considerable comment here. ‘The vast majority of the people of Chi cuso are law-abiding and I havo no fear a* ,11." said Mayor Harrison, “of not being nbie to deal with any uprising the Socialists or Nihilists may attempt. I do nofbelieve there is anv ground for apprehension. The Socialists "have some pronounced ideas ‘which manv think cranky, but as a class they arc as much interested in tho welfare of " Chicago as anv other men of equal intelligence. They are not coinc to organize to blow up anything, or K, „t anybody. Tho Nihilists are blath erskites and like to talk of doing terrible tilings. They say incendiary things and Newspapers try to mnko a sensation out of fhem. That is just what they like, but they will not dare carry out their threats. They are not organized in any such strength as to cause apprehension.” Prominent officers cf militia, interviewed on the subject, while lamenting the poor support given them by the State, are confi dent that the companies here could eaaily p U t down nny Socialistic uprising. General Fitzsimmons said: “There is always a guard at the armories, and we aliall not bo taken by surprise. I think another investiga tion shfmld bo made at once of what the Socialists are about, and there need he no fear that we shall be in igno rance of what is going on.” "What would be the result of a conflict between militia armed with rifles and a lot ol Communists armed with bombs?” was asked of a well known malitis man. "Oh, they couldn't do anything nnlcss there were a vast host of them. Why you sec in order to use those bombs they hnv.i got to be witbin at least fifty yards of the troops. Now, tho First Regiment of militia are well armed with Springfield breech-loading rifles. These ntles will throw n ball that will pen etrate an inch plank at the distance of a mile; and at the distance of fifty yards they would penetrate fifteen niches of pine planks spiked together. The young men have never been under fire but they have courage, and if properly led, would undoubtedly do good work. In the daytime, the whole command could be oa- sembled in an hour and a half. In case they were wanted at night, they would be summoned by tbe nearest commanding officer, each one of whom has the addreoaea of tho men who live near him." *- - ■ - - THROUGH THE HEART. The Had Suicide of dames A. lleall at Al bany Yesterday- Albany, Oa., January 15,—James A. lleall, Ison of Jcrc lleall, [formerly of Mil- ledgeville, On., and member of the cotton firm of J. A W. A.

There was no one with him when le fired the fatal allot, bnt in a moment thereafter his friend, Mr. A. C.

Sr. Louis, January 15.—Charles Wilson waa hanged io-uay at 7:15 o'clock for the murder of ,a river steamer mate some time ago. He retired last night at a very late hour and slept quietly and sonndlv until 1:40 o'clock. He awoke cool and calm, protesting that he waa innocent of murder! and stating that he comiu: ■.'.«! the deed in self-defense. He remained calm to the last, still protesting bis innocence. After the trap was sprung the body for a moment remained motionless, and there was enacted a scene of horror which chilled the blood of all who witnessed it. Two doc tors, one on .ithcr side, were each holding his wrist, when the contortions of the hang ing figure shook them aside, and before they could regain their hold upon tho mao, whose actions showed fall possession of consciousness of all that was going on, he made a frantic straggle to releaso himself. His right hand shot np and clutched tho rope and held it firmly. It seemed as if he must die by slow degrees from strangulation, but one of the doctors succeeded in disengag ing his hand, nnd in a short time the body bung a lifeless corpse. St. Louih, January 15.—A special from Belleville to tbe I’ost-Dispatch says: Nosh Herriman, tbe wife murderer, was banged to day. Previous to his execution he ad mitted having killed hia wife, and confessed to tbe mnrder of a woman peddler in East St. Louia six years sgo. The name of tho woman he would not reveal. He walked with a firm slop to tbe gallows, and after praying for a short time, his arms nnd legs were pinioned and tile black cap placed over lua head. This ordeal be stood well, but while the noose waa being adjusted be fainted, audit required three men to hold him oa tbe trap. Tbe trap was sprung nud Merriinnn died in fifteen minutes. Ho seemed to suffer most terrible agonies. New Oiu.hash, January 16.—A special to the Picayune from Luke Providenco says William George, colored, was executed witbin the enclosure of the pariah jail there to-day for the murder of Peggy Johnson on August Kith, 1*82. Tho hanging took place in the presence of legal witnessea. George acknowledged ho feigned insanity during the trial, i and at tbe last moment cried out, “I did kill Peggy Johnson.” As the noose waa being adjusted be laughed aloud. Tbe drop fell at 11:30, and in twelve min utes tho coroner pronounced him dead. From oome cause his throat was gashed, and blood was scattered oil around making a horrible sight. Oai.vestov, January 15.—A special to the Newa from Beaumont says Win. Madison, colored, aged twenty-four, wss hanged here at 11:30 a. m. to-dny for the murder of Al bert Smith, also colored, in April, 1880, Before ascending the scaffold, Madison spoke for about twenty minutes, hut mode no confession of hia crime. He sang sev eral original hymns and declared he wa- rcady to “pnt on wings and fly to heaven.” His neck waa broken by the fall. The canae of the crime was jealousy. 8t. Louis, January 15.—A special from Beaumont, Tex., to the Post-Dispatch states that Wm. Madison, colored was hanged there to-day for the murder of Albert Smith, also colored last summer. Tbe oause of the crime was jealousy. STUDENTS OF CRIME. Why Policemen Try to Exclude Some Boys from the Great Thoroughfares. “It may look cruel.” said a Broadway policeman who had just sent a flock of Htreet boys flying down n side strict; “to act liko an ogre with little fellows like that and to drive them away from the tbor. onghfare where there is so much to see ami enjoy. But it's necessary to do it for nublie safety. Yon seethe youngsters of New York ure the most dangerous set of pickpockets in the whole community. It's sail to think that children of tender years should lake to such a business. But it's a fact. And what is more, they don’t drop into it of their own accord; that is not gen erally. Yon will find wagon thieves and youngsters who will tap tills and steal fruit and all that in nearly any part of tho city But your boy pick pocket bus to be an expert and he needs training. Now it is known that on the east and west aides there are a lot of tutors who prepare these lads for their criminal career. They are all 'fences,' regular Farina in their way, bnt they are such slick, shady coves that there is no getting on to them. It is only onco and awhile that yon catch a 'fence,' and then it’s one of the hardest things in tho world to get evidence to convict him. “I dare say they are more numerous in river districts than anywhere else. There it ia easy for a boy to steal old iron, cotton and ropes. And there are a lot of rascals— mainly junkmen—who liny tho loot and en courage tbe boys to keep on stealing. Bnt your regular Fagin is generally in tbe heart of the city. Not long ago there was one discovered in Livingston or Stanton street, I forget which. He had no place of business, only a floor in a tenement house. Ho was a grey old villain, and none o( tho neighbors dropped to his say. Even when they saw the young sters coming and going they thought the man was attached to some charity mission oraometbing of that kind. Well, the troth waa he kept those boys 'working' tho parks and public places, and they turned in no endot jewelry and the like to him. Of course, when they got a purse they were cunning enough to keep it to themselves. But any other kind of valuable waa grist for his mill When the police got into his place they fonnd quite an assortment of trinkets, and heaven knows how mnch he had disposed of, for he wss sharp enongh to keep very little of the 'stuff' on band. “It was not many yean since a regular school waa discovered in the neighborhood of Hester street and the Bowery. There was a man there, an ex-convict, nnd an adept in every kind of villainy. He mode it his bnsim-as to prepare boys nnd girls not only for picking pockets ana the like, bnt for bnrgUry and the higher orders of crime. He turned out apt pupils, too, anil made a very good thing of it till some detectives dropped to his racket, llut his scholars did him credit. Most of them made money enongh to go into businesss, and the rest made enough to get them into trouble and have them sent to Sing Sing. It's sad to think of. But we cannot tell how many of these rascals are atlll doing nuch work suddenly. And so we have to look ont for 'Artful Dodgers' in all shapes and keep seemingly inoffensive youngsters off the thoroughfares.” FROM WASHINGTON. SUDDEN DEATH OF A DAUGHTER OF SECRETARY BAYARD. An Answer to so Inquiry for “Ken*on»"— A Block of Tenements Burned— The Snb-Treiuuryslilp—Pros pective Hanging*. Better Reports m to the Orange Crop. Jacksonville, Fla., January 15.—A gen- oral rain prevailed throughout many por tions of tho State yesterday and to-day, and the latest reports fronr East and Booth Flor ida indicate that the damage done waa not so great as at firet thought. In some por tions of Sonth Florida even the fruit on the trees was not spoiled, and it is no longer apprehended that any trees, save very small ones, were killed.

Kite bayard, eldest daughter of the Secretary of State, died eud* denly about a o’cloch thla afternoon. The recep tion at the White House was suspended upon the receipt of the newa of her death. Hue Bayard died at her home just a. .he was starting to the White Uonee to attend hits* Clef ehuid'e reception. ills. Haj.nl had accepted an Invitation to aaaigt Mia. Cleveland at her recepUon tala afternoon, and that lady and her guests. Miss Utley and tti.z Love, who were also to assist at the reception, were watting Mize Uayard's arrival, when they received tbe news cf her death. It waa bust about five min utes to 3 o'clock, and the recepUon wee to begin ln one hour. The Marine Band waa stationed In the main vestibule, and the leader waa conversing with Col. J. M. Wilson with regard to an appropriate time a. a signal of the opening of tbe reception. Many caller, had already arrived and wene waiting for the door, of the room to ho thrown open. The President waa engaged in con versation with a visitor in tbe library, and Mtae Cleveland and her gueata were chatting with Colonel Lament in the parlor on the second door prior to de* .rending to tbe blue room, where tbe reception was to]take place. Theabeenceof Mlea llajard was coin* mruled ou as singular, aa aha was usually very prompt In surh matters snd was momentarily ex* ported So arrive. While they were wondering at her delay, a inemeuger notified Colonel Lament that Harry Bayard the private secretary to Secru- Lry Bayard, waa in hia office snd had "something important" to communicate to tbe President. Colonel Lenionl excused himself snd went to see Mr. Haysrd. That gentleman Informed him that Miss Bayard waa dead, snd Uist secretary Bayard bad Instructed him to comuiiinhwte the iscl to the Presiileut. Colonel Lenioul ml o'ico in formed the President, who was very much shocked at the unexpected intelligence, and Uie two gentle, men Joined the tallies and announced tbe sudden death of their friend. Orders were at once issued to close tho house, the hand wss dismissed, and the people In salting notified that the -reception bad bceu postponed. Ushers were stationed at the main uoor and carriage entrance to luform all ratt ers that the house wss closed for tho day. Tbe news spread quickly through tho city, and univer sal regret waa expressed at the sad occurrence. The President, npon the receipt of tbe meMego from Secretary Bayard announcing the death of hi. daughter, recalled the lnrltatlon to a dinner which he had Intended to give Monday eveulng In honor of Mr. and Mrs. Krasina Corning. The Immediate cause of Mbs Bayard's death waa disease of the heart. She had been troubled with weakness of that organ and had been treated by the : amity physician at intervals for several years. At a reception at her fathers house last night, it was remarked that Mia Bayard was unusu ally bright and taxed herself to the utmost. It Is presumed that over exertion may havo precipita ted the fatal attack. The young lady re tired shout to o'clock last night, cxprvsslug a wish to be left undisturbed tUl noon. Between 1 and 1 o'clock this afternoon a younger alster endeavored to awaken her, and, struck by tbe peculiar expree- •ion of the face, called for assistance. As Soon as the family recovered from the consternation Into which It had been thrown, physicians were sum- luoued aud powerful restoratives. Including elecrlc- lfy, were appliid, but In vain. Tbe physicians ex pressed the opinion that Mtaa Bayard bad keen dealt for several hours when the attempt wee made to awaken her. Her Interment will take piece probably on Tuesday next at Wilmington, ltel., where Sucre (ary llayard's parent, arc interred. The newa of MU. Bayard's sudden death caused a profound sensation throughout the city, and for a time, in tbe absence of any definite details, annuiber of wild rumors circulated. The facta, however, ae stated above, are from an unquestionable source. Lightships Replaced—'The Dolphin Matter. Wakiiixoton, January 15.—The light ships at Vineyard sound, Frying-pan Shoals and Pollock Kip, which were cast adrilt during tho recent storm have all been re- { ilai'od. Secretary Whitney made the fol- owing statement to-day to a representa tive ot the Associated Press in regard to despatch boat Dolphin. Tbe talk with referenoe to the Dolphin doubtless arises from the propositinii made by the contrac tor, a good while ago, that we should make an effort to arbitrate, and in that way ar rive at some common ground with regnrd to the facts we are now considering it, and I am disposed to do it if it can be done. It will be seen by looking at my report that the action'ot the contractor infixing np the boat after she was snbmitted to the department lor acceptance it removed a great many of the grounds of critii ism that were made by the examining board. I summarized the matter in my report and showed substan tially what points were unsettled. It we can agree npon a board of technical men that both sides would have confidence in to make another examination of the Dol phin to determine the money valne of tbe difference between us, it ia precisely what a private individual would do in a similar cose. We have not reached any conclusion yet, but wo may very soon. In this con nection, it is proper to say that moat of the statements that have been circulated with regard to the' recent trial trip of the vessel were erroneous. She did not encounter any very unusual weather. The reports about her being in a gale of wind blowing seventy milea on hour are not true. No snch gale occurred during the trip nor titil sho make fifteen knots as has been published? Her time between landmarks when she was running (or speed wsa about fourteen knots, snd her log showed less than that. I have not asked (or uny re ports in regard to the trial, bnt I find there is no substantial disagreement between her commanding officer and the technical ex perts on board on important |K>ints, aa I understand them. They do not agree abont everything in conversation, but there are no very important disagreements so fur as know.' Wahbi!ioto!«, January 17.—The past week having been devoted by the Senate largely to speech-making and executive bnsineus, ti e calendar remains almost ex actly aa it waa at the beginning of tho week with respect to measures of general legisla tion. The judicial salary bill is the un audited business. The Dakota bill, the bankruptcy bill and the electoral count bill, are to be broagbt forward for debate and action as soon as possible, and an under standing will probably be reached on Monday or Tuesday by tho Senators respectively in charge of these measures as to the order in which they shall be taken np. Sen ator Harrison's resolution looking to and in quiring into certain statements of the Cnmuitsaiuner of Pensions regarding the official acts of hia predecessor, nnd Senator Voorhees's substitute for it, are still pend ing. Senator Enstis has given notice of his intention to deliver a speech Thursday up on bis resolution to pay in silver bonds that have been called for redemption on the first of February. This resolution, with Mr. Beck's substitute for it, are still in the finance committee with no probability of receiving early action. In the House to-morrow, after tho intro duction of bills, committees will be called (or motions to pans measures—one for each committee—under a suspension of the rules. A two-thirds vote is requisite in every instance. Tbe business of the House for the rest of the week will depend upon the action of its committees, many of which are to meet on Tuesday and a few to-morrow. Among the more important measures likely to be discussed in commit tees and reported to the House this week are the bill known as the McPherson bill introduced in tho last Congress, authoriz- ing national banka to Increase their circu lating note* to the full amount of their security in bonds, the bill anthorizing the Comptroller of the Currency to sanction changes of name and increase capital flock by national banka, tha Oklahoma bills, Mr. Hatch's bill to create a department of agriculture, and Mr. Watson's bill to increase pensions to widows, Mr. Bontelle's resolution of inquiry rela tive to the Norfolk navy yard will be farther considered by the committee on naval affairs to-morrow or Tuesday. The au thor of the molution baa ittle doubt that it will be reported to the House Wednes day, and as it is a privileged resolution, immediate action can be demanded. If the tone of the discussion of tho meusuro in committee can be taken as an indication of the diactusion to follow in the House, that body will find thrust upon it a spirited political debate. INTER-STATE COMMERCE. An Exhaustive Report on the Hulfisct To Be Nubmittnl. Washixotov, January 17.—Senator Cnl- lom's select committee on inter-Ktate rail road transportation will probably report to the Senate to-morrow or Tuesday on the original inter-state commerce bill, and at the same time submit on exhaustive report in its support. The committee, which spent a good part of the summer in its investiga tions, has been bolding daily sessions since tbe assembling of Congress. In addition to two or three volumes of oral testimony which the committee has taken in its pur suit of information upon the subject, an appendix containing a number of Interest ing papers from leading authorities has been printed for the uso of the committee, nud will be made public with tho report. John D. Kennnn, chairman of tho New York Railroad Commission, contributes a statement in which be advoeares the crea tion of a national ooiumission, whose find ings npon all qnditlons of fact, should be accepted in oil courts as iirimn facie true. The board of Railroad Commissioners of Kansus contributes to this volume a paper which expresses tbe opiuion that •> national commission should be established, vested with certain supervisory powers over the subject of inter-Stute commerce. These powers should bo confined to tho function of regulation and not the management of the business of inter-State commerce. The board also discusses the snbject of strikes, and sdggeats that a national commission might be entrnsted with power to arbitrate and settio disputes arising between com panies and their employes. Mr. Charles E. Perkins, president of the Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy Railway Company, dis cusses the basis of railroad rates and the payment' of rebates. Ho justifies the pooling system and discrimination be cause of distance and quantity. He de clares that railroad owners and managers have no more actual power to oontrol rates than merchants and manufacturers have to control their charges. He concludes thst, considering the development of tho conntry and low rates which everywhere prevail, the wisdom of any legislation on the sub ject is doubtful. A TAME BUTTERFLY. A Curious ret of m Little Mias on South Fifth Street. A butterfly in captivity is perhaps not an nnnsnal thing to see, but a butterfly in oap- tivity that has lived in a glees jar for tbree months and through the cold weather of winter is something that very few have had tbe opportunity of seeing, aa a butterfly's existence ia generally considered to lost a few weeks at the furthest. Miss Bessie Seraon, the daughter of Wil liam Scmon, of the Virginia Tobacco Store, on Niuth street above Cbeatnut, ia the owner of a specimen that she caught in tho yard in the roar of Mr. Semon'a residence, 1326 South Fifth street, early in October. When it was canght it waa almost dead with '-old. .She took it into a warm room anil, placed it in a gloss jar with a perfora ted ltd, and the luaectnot only revived, bnt grew lively and seemed to take a liking to its nsw home. It ia one of the large brown species, with wings folly an inch and a half long. While in its glass cage it manifests none ot the desire to escape naually shown by insects in captivity, bnt moves tronnd its glass house with wings at rest, and it spends its time principally in dozing and feeding- When it was caught it was slender in body snd hungry looking, but on its foed of so ger and celery it has grown fst and round and almost too heavy to fly. Miss Bessie has made something ot a pet of her butter fly, and every day ahe takes it ont of the ar to give it oxerdse. A reporter waa present recently when “Brownie” waa given an airing. When the lid waa removed from the jar tbe butterfly flew out and lit on its owner's arm, spread its wings and took a good stretch. It then walked np her arm to her shoulder, took a look around and then flew aronnd the room a couple of times, and returning lit on its mistress' head. It conhl be easily seen that tbe insect recognized its owner, for, thongh several times while it was on its flight she changed her position the butterfly each time flew to her. Another, evidence that it knew her was fonnd in the fact that when, ever any ono else went near the butterfly it closed its wings together and remained perfectly quiet, whereas Miss Bessie need simply pnt her finger down beside it and the pretty insect wonld get up on it and then walk np her arm to her shoulder of bend. Miaa Benton is natnraliy venr proud of her uniqno little pet, snd will make every effort to prolong Its eziatence through the winter. HORSE AGAINST DOG. A fierce Contest Between Two Enraged Animals, Resulting In tho Death of Roth. A Somerville, N. J., special soya: Yester day afternoon a fierce bull dogandaviclona young mare, belonging to George Rnnvon, a funnel, of Stanley, N. J., engaged in a enriona fight. The dog and horsa were stable companions, bnt the latter had a strong dislike for the former. Tbe mare broke her halter yesterday, and seized the dog in her teeth. The dog retaliated by biting tbe horse's nose. The two now thoroughly . infuriated brutes then fought desperately. The dog wonld spring at its foe, only to be sent flying clean across the barn. The wild neighs anu kick ing and barks attracted a number of people to the scene, hot none dare interfere with tbe frenzied combatants. The dog seo red a firm grip on the mare’s neck, and waa tossed and knocked agninst the aides of the building in the attempts made by the bone to dislodge him. The mare finally lowered her head, and, placing her fore foot on the dog's body, literally tore it off. In one of its mad rnabea the dog waa seized by the ui—ii and thrown nearly to the top of the barn, bnt it returned to the fight immedi ately. At tast the dog sank it* fangs into the foreleg of the mare, and in attempting to reach the dog's head tbe horse fell directly on its foe and creaked its life out. Tha victorious animal gave a shrill neigh, snd turning, kicked the body of the dog on til it wss crashed into a shapeless mass. When Mr. Runyon returned he entered the stable and found the mare tottering alxmt the place, weak from the loss of blood. Her legs and neck wera horribly lacerated, and tha sinews laid bare, while her nose was almost gone. Aa tbe animal could not lira, it was shot. The mare was a valuable one, bnt so high tempered that no one bnt ner owner cotild approach her safely. The dog waa prized very highly on account of its courage and usefulness aa a watch dog. FOREIGN NEWS. LONDON TIMRS’S VIEWS ON THE IRISH QUESTION. Opposition to Homo Buie l»jr the Loyal- UU—A New Solution of the .Hat ter—The Policy of tho Prrnch Cabinet—Uuhappy Peru, Loxdov, Januuy 16.—The Time* thli morning recognlMM that the Irish ijueetlon must receive tho immediate attention of the new Parliament In a ipiritcd leading article it urges the necepsity of the Conservative party at once facing tbe issue. It says the Conservatives cannot shirt or postpone de cisive action. If they attempt to remain in office without making a vigorous effort to grapple with the Irish difficulty U will result in their promptand unequivocal condemnation. Universal acorn will be their portion If they*give their opponents a chance to overthrow them without staking (heir ex istence on a hold defense of tbe union. Such a courae would be worse than a blunder-it would be a crime. The government should uot hesitate to challenge tfce verdict of the House of Commons on the questlou of home rule. It rsnuot bo doubted that they would obtain an Immense majority in favor of maintaining the integrity of tho empire. London, January 16.—Nothing will be settled re garding the government of Irclaud until after Par liament is formally opened l»y the Queen next week Tho Earl of Carnaven will return to Ireland and re sume the duties of the vlreroyship tenqtorarlly. Dublin. January 10 —The Freeman's Journal, to day says the cabinet at Its meeting yesterday dis cussed the property of Issuing a proclamation de claring the National League an illegal organisation. The Policy of the NewL'nhlnet. Paris, January 16.—M. DeFrnrcinet, prime minis ter snd minister of foreign affstrs, to-day made a declaration in the Chamber of Deputies or tho pol icy the new cabinet would follow, tin said (hat its colonial policy would bo less adventurous than that of its recent predecessors. This statement was re ceived with cheers by the Chsmber. U. DaFreycl- net also said: “It Is necessary to restore good order in tbe administration, to hold the clurgy to the strict execution of their duties, to restore tho finan cial equilibrium, to stop expeditions to distant countries, to vote no fresh loans, to adopt no meas ures cresting new tixes.” Tho Tonquin protector ate, he said, would be organised on a simple and economical basis. In conclusion he ap{»ealed to all the friends of the republic fur uuity and co-opera tion in tho effort* of the cabinet to govern the country by the policy he announced. M. DeFreycencrt said the government hoped to equalize the budget by rigid ei^noraies In various departments. Ilcadjustiuent of-taxation he said wonld not affect the consumption of food. War and marine offices would be required to make the greatest sacrifices, short of reducing the efficiency of the country’s defences.
