GENERAL OF THE ARMY
THE EDMUNDS BILL PASSED WITH
NINE DISSENTIENT VOTES*
The Hero of Appomatox Restored to the
Post Originally Created for Him—
Belva’s Modest Claim —Notes from
the Capitol City.
Washington, Jan. 15.—Mr. Edmunds
called up the bill In the senate author
izing the president to appoint from the list of
those formerly holding the position of gen
eral of in chief of the army one per
son with the rank and full pay of such gen
eral or general in chief.
Mr. Cockrell, not knowing whether the
yeas and nays would l>e ci.fled on the bill,
desired to record his vote against it. He
thought there wa» no justice and no pro
priety in it. The retired list of the army was
created expressly for officers of the army in
service who by reason of disability incident
to service become unfitted for duty. Gen.
Grant, ucc< r ling to statements in the press,
was now drawing the small sum of $15,000
per annum, which the average American
would !»ellive a sufficient amount to keep
any citizen in comfort.
Mr. Edmunds agreed with the principles
laid down by the from Mtjeouri and
recite i die s« rvie<jjji 0/ ooU f -4.b'ant from the
Mexican war down, and in view of the duty
and honor tin* country owed him, he would
be glad to have a nearly unanimous vote in
favor of the bill.
Mr. Maxey spoke of the magnamity which
Gen Grant had shown to the southern people
at Appomatox and believed there was not a
man in the south who would begrudge a
reasonable sum to him in his declining years.
As was wed known his resources had been
swept away, and G -in forty years’ acquaint
ance with Gen. Grant he (Maxey) exonerated
him from the slightest blame in the failure
of Grantp& Ward, bis usual fault of
rep‘sijig;tv ‘ T{frioe in others.
Messrs. Gl'CSi anil of Louisiana;
G' of M <Js9ippi?aud Jonas, of Florida,
spoke n. fav- ref the bUI. Mr Vborheee cor
rected a misapprehension that Mr. Cockrell's
statement that Gen. Grant was in receipt of
tbS,OU) might cause. The guarantee under
which it was drawn makes the income expire
in about six years. He spoke of the courage
which Gen. Grant had shown in resisting
Secretary Stanton's order to arrest Gen. Lee,
and correcting the injustice done to Fitz John
Porter.
The roll was called on the passage of the
bill, when it was adopted; yeas forty-nine,
yeas nine. Those voting naj r wore Reck,
Cockrell, Coke, Harris, Pendleton, Saulsbury,
Vance and Walker.

for sixty years the time which the Union

any what has been or is to be done in t Jit*

Washington Notes.
Mrs. B** : vu Ann Lock wood has sent to the
s< nate. through Senator Hoar, a petition ask
ing that the votes cast for her in New York,
New Hampshire, Indiana, lowa, Michigan,
Illinois, Maryland and California be counted,
en l that the electoral vote of Indiana be
given to her. She charges that the votes
cas for her were “cojnrtrd for the alleged
majority candidate, the same Veing antago
Distic to the letter and Spirit the law and
lubfreTsive of Cvi-rt principle of equity
end justice.” She also asks that
t. e senate “refuse to receive the elec
toral returns of the state of New York, or
count them for the alleged majority candi
date; for had the 1,336 votes which were
lulled in said state for y<<ur petitioner been
counted for her and not for one Grover Cleve
land, he would not have been awarded a ma
jority of all the yot,es cast at said election in
mid step. " The reason for. asking that the
elector : : Vdte of Indiana be z v«st for her, she
says, is “that after the electoral college of
that state had cast its vote for the aforesaid
Grover (.. lev-land it changed its min’d—as it
had a legal right to—and did cast its united
ballot for your petitioner.”

hostler and father ran to the opening, to find
the child had passed into this subterranean
passage. The .mother ran wildly from the
house, screaming frantically. Mr. Phelps
and tpe bustler climbed over the embank
ment and descended to the mouth of the cul
vert, saw the child rolling down the steep
rocky descent towards the Naugatuck River,
the water carrying the senseless form toward
a deep eddy Both men plunged in and res
cued the child. Its head, arms and shoulders

hours’ exertion the child wan recuscitated.
The culvert is one hundred and sixty feet
long by four feet in diameter. The rescue is
considered miraculous.

look decidedly military The following was
lasted at the headquarters of the miners’ re

McEacheon has been traveling over the coun

South Bend, Ind., Jan 15.—The striking
employes of the Oliver Chilled Plow AVorks
remain very quiet, and there are no indica
tions of a fresh outbreak. The treachery of
the Poles, however, has taught the officers to
be on their guard, and they are determined
to be in readiness to resist any assault on the
plow works and the jail, where the arrested
rioters are guarded day and night by militia
A squad of twenty men of the veteran gtards
of Elkhart came down by a special trui. to
assist the local authorities to preserve p-Mce.

A FLOATING MINT.
Methods of Arkansas Counterfeiters--Two
of Them Captured.
Little Rock, Ark . Jan. 15 - A number
of detectives are scouring eastern Arkansas
for the purpose of locating the source of
the great influx of counterfeit money
which has recently made its appearance in
that locality.
As those engaged in working off the spur
ious values are oy>erating altogether on the
counties bordering on the Mississippi, it is
thought the rendezvous of the gang i« in
Memphis, and the manufactory is conducted
aboard of a filter, a nicely constracted cruft
which drifts about at night, and is tied up n
a secluded spot along the shore of the Missis
sippi by day. So fur two arrests hav<> been
made They gave their names as AV. M
Blanchard and Uhnrles Cunningham. They
were captured in Lee county, where they suc
ceeded in passing numerous counterfeit
United States notes.
The spurious bills found in their p< ion
when arrested were ten and twenty dollar
gold and silver certificates, to the amount of
f:>00. Also five counterfeit tens on the Thir I
National Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio. The
money is a dangerous counterfeit, the work
being well executed, especially on the coun
terfcits, which can not be detected except by
experts
Blanchard and Cunningham aie lodged in
the penitentiary here, and will be tried in the
U. b. court.
A Ix>ng I .out (barter.
New York, Jan. 15 It is proposed to
offer a reward for the recovery of the char
ter of the cbamlier of commerce, which bus
been lost for nearly fifty years Many mem
bers of the chamber think that the venerable
document may be lying in s<-ms old stor-*-
house or musty attic down town, and the
idea is thet an offer of SSOO or SI,OOO for ita
recovery will siimuiab a search ter it.
The charter, which is a cumbrous affair,
with a separate box containing the s- al. was
last seen on the night of the great tiro i i
December,
occupied by the chamber of commerce in the
old Merchants' exchange in Wail street, but
no member of the chamber now living had;
ever been able to ascertain whether it was
saved from the fire. A hope that it was
saved is en<*ouraged by the fact that the two
great historical paintings belonging t<» the
chamber— portraits of Gov. Cadwallader
Colden and Alexander Hamilton- also dis
apjieared on that night, but were found ab ut
thirty years afterward, covered with dust
and miidew, in an old warehouse in Wall
street.

Anent the Whisky Tax.
New York. Jan. 15.—A prominent treas
uryofficial, whose, name was not disclosed by
the Associated Press, remarks that the new
whisky circulation “merely extends the time
specified in the exportation bond for the re
moval of the goods from the distillery ware
house to the port of exportation.” He does
not see why any one connected with the treas
ui-y should try to conceal the real meaning
and effect of the new regulations. The dis
tillers had for three years been asking for an
extension of the period at the end of which
the tax must be paid.

Vivid Lightning and Detonating Thunder
That Shook the Earth House*, Fences,
Men ane Animals ('aught in the
Vortex Serious Loss.
Eufaula, Ala., Jan. 15.—The storm of
Sunday night last was almost unprecedented
in severity. The storm arose about 9in the
<‘\ t ning and was accompanied by vivid light
ning and heavy peals of thunder. Hale,
Perry, Bibb, Chilton, Macon and Green coun
ties all suffered great destruction of property.
The st«rm crossed the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad fifty miles north of Montgom
ery. Near Calera, on the same road, a
freight train was blown off the track and
ditched, the engine overthrown and can
damaged, but fortunately no lives were lost
in the wreck. The cyclone’s path was half a
mile wide ami traces of its destructivenes are
left on every side, Three men were killed at
the camp ground in Macon county. Trees,
fences and houses were swept away like
chaff Among the debris of one house de
molished near Calera, the dead ixuiy of a
man was found so terribly mangled ns to
render recognition impossible. Another
man name unknown was killed
near the Cahaba riv*>r in the west
ern part of the state Forests wen
laid waste, trees several feet in diameter be
in-x torn into splinters. Wherever the cy
clone struck the railroad the track was
strewn with trees, telegraph polesand wires.
In many places wagon travel is stopped.
Houses several miles from the path of the
storm were made to tremble as if moved by
the upheaval of an earthquake On several
large plantations stock was killed ami houses
razed to the ground. In Grei n county cotton
bait's were blown hundreds of feet in the air,
anti near Eutaw a house was struck by light
ning and burned to the ground. The cyclone’s
career was one of unnbated iury and dfstnii -
tion The people of Alauama have suftered
loss of property to the amount of thousands
of dollars, besides loss of human life.
Some three miles further off two other resi
dences were completely blown away, lu one
of them were thirteen occupants, all of w hom
received more or less injury. Great damage
is rt'porteti to farm property generally. Ow
ing t o high water it is impossible to obtain
accurate information as to the full extent of
damage caused by the cyclone, but enough
has been ascertaine I to report that while it
was very disastrous it was not as severe as
the sior»” which passed through Cherokee
and ( uh. counties last spring. During all
of Monday and a greater part of Monday
night heavy rains fell, flooding all the streams
and low lands and making it almost impossi
ble to gain further information. The heavy
clouds which accompanied the wind were
seen from this place There was a continuous
roaring like distant thunder for some thirty
minutes before the wind passed. One family
beemne frightened before the tempest ap
proached and ran to a neighboring house a
short distance away, which was blown away,
while their own house from which they had
fled remained standing. The track of the
cyclone was about 200 yards wide.
ST. JOHN’S HONESTY.
Melville E. Stone Says Ik Was True, but
There May Have Been a Judas.
New York, Jan, 15.—Mr. Melville E.
Stone, editor of the Chicago Daily News,
who has been referred toby Mr. McCullaugh,
of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, and others,
as being possessed of valuable information in
regard to St. John’s venality, is in the city,
and talks freely of the matter. His paper
supported St. John in the late canvass, and
Mr Rtone had opportunities of informing
himself fully in regard to the question in dia
pule He says:
“The letteir published as coining from St.
John’s friends w doubtless a forgery. Ht.
John’s friends may have been indiscreet, but
he whs honest in his candidacy and neither
demanded nor received, nor would have re
ceived, money from either of the national
committees. ”
“Then he didn’t sell out?”
“No, not to his knowledge. You and 1
hate known congressmen and United States
senators to be bought and sold without hav
ing the faintest idea of the transaction. If
any of St. John’s friends attempted to sell
his influence it wag without his knowledge,
consent or cognizance.”
“What is the information to which McCul
lagh refers when he says you could tell gome
thing if you would?”
“All that there is to tell is that a subscrip
tion was taken up for St. John to which some
democrats contributed. The gift was volun
tary and no conditions of any kind were im
posed, and the money was not. given entirely,
or even the greater part, by democrat*”
“St. John received no money from the
democratic national committee?”
“He received none from the democrats and
demanded none from the republicans. You
can rest assured of St. John’s honesty in the
matter and a full investigation will com
pletely vindicate him.”
A Child’s Effort at Suicide.
N> # Haven, Conn., Jan. 15.—A little
girl, twelve years of age, named Madeline
Stackpole, daughter of well-to-do people of
New Haven, wished to wear her new cloak to
church. As the weather was unfavorable,
her mother refused to let her wear it. She
then tol<i her little brother that she had a
bottle of opium pills which she was going to
take. Shortly afterward she disappeared.
Some young ladies who were returning from
church in Woodridge, nearly five miles from
the city, fouud the little girl in the road, ap
parently dead. Medical assistance was at
once procured, and in two hours she was ro
resuscitated. She told her entertaineis a
a harrowing story of ill-treatment at her
home, an i s-iid she ran away to try and find
a situation. Her parents indignantly deny
her story, and say she was always kindly
treated. Jder mother went at once to bring
home the wayward child, who is now out of
danger.

Clkvfi.and t) , J -n. 15. -The trial of ths
Farmers' anti Mechanics' bank, of Galesburg,
111., against John Lainey, of this city, is in
progress. Lainey is known in police and
criminal circles as “Mollie Matches,” the cel
ebrated pickpocket and bank sneak thief. He j
has for years perp 'tratod the most I
audacious robberies. The shrewdest de- |
tectives winked long to got a case |
on him, but he eluded them. Unlike most of ,
his craft he saved his money and owns valu- |
able real estate and houses hereto the amount
of SSO,(MM), it remained for the police of the I
little town of Galesburg to send “Mollie” to i
states prison,where ho is n ov serving a three
years’ sentence. The bank having sent him
there brought the abovementioned suit to
reeov r from his prop rty the $9,600 stolen
by “Mollie’’ add four confederates.
One of these, Patrick Guerin, testifio
that, having concluded that the Gales
burg bank was a good one to work, they sent
for “Matches," who agreed with them. One
of them went to a neighborii g town and
hired a horse and wagon con tail ing a large
box and hitched the team nfir the bank
about noon “Matches” watched the presi
dent and treasurer go out of txio bank and
then lifted his hat as a signal to his confeder
ates to advance. ‘‘Matches” went inside,
when a little girl came along, looked in at
the window and nearly spoiled the scheme,
(hie of the confederates enticed her away,
and then Mrs. Colton, wife of the presi
dent, drove up. “Matches” tried to induce
the -ashler to go out and talk to her,
but he was not to bo thus caught. Then
“Mulches’’ proceeded to buy a New York
drat: with sma 1 silver, which he counted
with much noise. Another confederate stood
l- nr. holding up a paper that screened a
tiiird, who crept forward, picked a lock anti
sneaked in behind the cashier, where he
qui-kly scra|Hxl up $9,600 while “Matches’"
wad quarreling with the cashier about the
draft. “Matches ’ finally admitted that he
and not the cashier had made a mistake in
the count, and gathering up his money he
waliuMl calmiy out, saying he would raise
enough to buv the draft. Once outside th'
three sprang into the dry goods box and were
driven by the fourth to the depot. Thai
night, on the train for Chicago, they divide 1
the money, and it was not until months after
wards that the first of the quartet, “Matches,’
was captured iir ( incinnati.

before the colonial institute spoke of the late
meeting of the British association at Mon
treal as an event that would be memorable
in colonial history. Hu enlarged ou the
favorable knowledge of Canada which had
been gained by reason of the meeting. Re
marks in a similar strain were mode by the
Marquis of Lome, Sir Lyon Playfair and
others, and were responded to by Sir Charles
Tupper, Canadian commissioner in England.
The Cunard steamship line will extend its
service after April 1, despatching a steamer
to New York every Saturday and every other
Wednesday, and to Boston every Tuesday.
The Rossa affair yet occupies the Loudon
press. The Morning Post concludes a leader
thus: “The practical question for all of us
now arises, will the fallingout of the traders
in homicide accomplish lasting results in re
gard to their extirpation from the ‘home of
the free and the land of the brave?’ Prob
ably an affirmative answer may be given. In
the first place, the public prosecutor in Now
York city, who assumed office on New Year’s
day, was elected as an anti Irish candidate;
in the second place, although the mayor
and recorder are both Irish born citizens,
they are of anti agitation type. These offi
cials will do their duty, and the proper crim
inal trial that must, ensue cannot fail, be
tween the criminations of Captain Phelan
and the recriminations of his assailant, to
evolve much respecting the methods, plans
and history < J the I’ynarnite league. Such
details in uvid<‘nce cannot fail, it would seem,
to arouse a rightfully directed policy of
statute making in the state as to the crime
involved by such international conspirators,
and in th.* federal congress as to asylum and
the extradition of these men.
Fire broke out In the buildings in which
are located the rooir.s of the American lega

be destructive, but the strenuous efforts of
the firemen saved the buildings from serious
damage. The contents of the rooms occu
pied by the legation are uninjured.
German Anarchists Retaliate.
Berlin, Jan. 15.- Residents of this city are
greatly shocked by the news of the murder
of Counselor Rumpff, who took an ft five pert
in the prosecution of the eight anarchist re
cently tried at Leipsic on the charge of at
tempting to assassinate Emperor William and
other members of the imperial family.
Runipff’s dead body was found late Tuesday
night in front of his doorstep. The police
have no clue to the assassins, but naturally
believe the crime to be the work of friends of
the convicted anarchists.
In the Reichstag Bismarck stated that in or
der to protect German agricultural interests
treble duty should be imposed on wheat and
double duty on rye. The imports oi cereals
from Russia will not be affected by thi.se

The Wages of Sin.
Cincinnati, Jan. 15.—A life which was
once full o bright premise, ended in a peculi
arly wad and distressing way. A white
woman who sprang from a reputable
family in L ,uis v ille, Ky., has for
some time past been living at the
above number under the names of Maggie
Morris and Alice H. Reed. Her habits of
life were deplorable. It is understood that
she has been living with James Veiss, colored,
as his wife, and was an inveterate opium
eater. Tuesday night she was found dead in
bed, it is supposed from an overdose of
opium. Shu is said to have once been re
spectable, and to have been married from her
father’s house in Louisville. Her mother
still lives at 142 Second street, that city.

R INDIANA’S STATESMEN.
Woods in the Wabash Region Full
First-ClaM Cabinet Timber.
Indianapolis, Jan. 15.—-Regarding the
Hon. Joseph E. McDonald there may lie e
division of sentiment at Washington, but his
appointment as attorney general would high
ly gratify the hoosiers at home. Mr. Hend
ricks was preferred at Chicago for the reason
j that by every political and personal obliga
tion Hendricks was first in the line of promo*
tion, but the desire to see Mr. McDonald in
an office equal to his talents and services to
the country is strong with the people.
i Judge David Turpie is not only an orna
ment to his profession, but he is acknowl
edged to be one of the most accomplished
scholars in Indiana. Three times he made
' the race against Schuyler Colfax for congress
in a strong republican district, aud once came
i within thirty votes of an election. When one
I remembers that Colfax was the idol of party,
the fact that Judge Turple always ran far
■ ahead of the democratic vote tells of uncoin-
■ mon strength. Os him Thomas A. Hendricks
’ remarked: “A more concise thinker or adroit
• lawyer than Judge Turpie 1 have never
known. The largest reading has enriched his
■ | conversation, and the closest study given i>er-
spicuity to his thought. His is a mind in
which there is no rubbish.”
' The experience and the highest order of
talent for secretary of the interior is cer
tainly presented in the person of Hon. George
W. Julian. It might be claimed for him
that he is the father of the homestead law,
and no man knows more about the public do-
• main. With the exception of the Hon. Wm.
8. Holman, Mr. Julian has had a longer leg
i islative experience than any other citizen in
i the state.
Could the seat of the Hon. Wm. Steele
Holntan in congress be filled by an equally
competent and careful legislator, his appoint
ment to a cabinet office would gratify the
Indiana democrats inexpressibly. To assign
him to the department of the interior would
be an assurance to the country of a return
to the strictest principles of economy and
rectitude.
To be secretary of the treasury has been and
really is the one ambition of the Hon. Wm.
H. English’s life. He believes himself well
i qualified for the treasury, and holds that he
i could introduce needed reforms.
BOOM FOR BELL TELEPHONE STOCK.
Injunction That Practically Frees Them
from Further Litigation.
i Boston, Jan 15.—The Bell Telephone Com
pany has been granted an injunction against
• the Overland Company, both in New Jersey
Philadelphia, and including the parent cor
poration. Tiiis suit was brought to restrain
an alleged infringement of the “Barker”
patents, controlled by the 801 l Telephone
i Company, and while the decision gives them
, only a temporary Injunction, the opinion
i given by Judge Butler in the injunction prac
tically set ties the matter finally in their favor.
With the disposition of this controversy,
the worst phase of the litigation in which the
, company has been involved ever since it
commenced business is disposed of, and be
sides the McDonough and Clay cases yet re
maining unsettled, and both of which are of
t comparatively minor importance', there is
nothing worthy of note in this direction left.
A Popular Subscription.
New York, Jan. 15 —The Sun, In a
lengthy editorial eulogistic of Gen. Grant,
proposes a great popular subscription in his
behalf, the amount to be given by any one
individual to be limited to ten dollars.
The Sun says: “There is no citizen of the
' United States who does not cherish a feeling
of admiration and gratitude for the military
services of Gen. Grant and a sympathy for
the disasters which have been brought upon
him In view of these disasters an effort
is making to obtain a pension for him from
congress, or an act restoring him to the
army as a retired officer, but with full pay.
1 This effort ought nut to succeed. Therein
no reason for granting a pension from the
national treasury, nor should any man wh<>
has resigned from the army to become presi
dent be restored to it aftoward. No such pre
i cedent ought to be established; yet the public
sympathy should be manifested toward Gen.
i Grant in an effective manner, proceeding
i from the masses of the people. We propose a
' great popular subscription, the amount given
by each subscriber to be limited.
