homa—A Court of Appeals.
Washington, Jan. 22.—This town, in the
expressive par Hance of the day, is “all torn
up,” socially, tiecauae tbe Blaines have selec
ted Thursday evenings for their recaptions.
Thursday evening is the Frelinghuysen night,
and the Lsmi ig of it by the Blainite looks
very much i|ke drawing the line and ‘run
ning opposition” to the adminiairatkm. The
talk of the town just now 1s alxAit the admin
totrattan and tbe Blaine factions.
Before tbe Blaines issued their Invitations
the Frelinghuvsens, for private reasons, had
decided to omit their Thursday evening re
ception for once; but, on learning what the
Blame program was, they reconsidered the
decision, accepted the challenge, and prompt
ly issued invitations as usual, causing it to be
understood, as have tbe Blaines, that every
body is expected to decide whose banner they
will follow to the close of the season that is to
be kept up.
Bo many persona that were not invited
have been self invited guests at receptions
and parties of cabinet and diplomatic officials,
as well as of the president, that it has b< <‘<>me
necessary to guard against such impositions
tn future. The invitations to the president’s
rec -pti an are worded so as to intimate
plainly that “Mr. Jones and family” does not
mean all the Joneses in creation, or an un
limited number of friends whom he may in
vite as constructively belonging to his fam
ily. Requests in behalf of purs >ns temp rn

whom the hostess had never seen or heard of,
and did not wish to “There are persons
here,” said the wife of a foreign minister,
“whom I did not invite, and who by coming
here this way, show that they ought not to
have invitations.” “This crowd, where did
they come fromf’ asked the wife of a mem
ber of the cabinet; “I’ll take care of that in
future,” The president found himself placed
under the same necessity.
Some points of interest to pension attorneys
and pension claimanta were brought out in
the inquiry conducted by the house commit
tee on pensions, bounty and back pay. Mr.
Dawson, who is appeal clerk of the secretary
of the interior, read a decision just rendered
by the department, setting forth that where
one pension attorney is substituted for
another the claimant may designate any one
to act as his attorney or agent or may do so
at any time without alleging misconduct, or
filing a complaint against the attorney or
agent designated to act in substitu
tion or who may lie acting where
there is no substitution. Pension at
torneys say this will be a great harhship
to them as it will allow an applicant to place
his case in the hands of an attorney or agent,
and when the case is ready for adjudication,
discharge the agent or attorney without
cause, thus cutting them out of their fee.
Heretofore, the agent could not bo discharged
without cause The commissioner of pensb >na
and other officers of the interior department
are !>eing examined by the committee. The
Issue seems to be a transfer by Cd. N. W
Fitzgerald of a large pension claim business
to George E. Lemon. Under tlx* dccisi u
cited, Fitzgerald may by consent of his form
er clients resume bis business.

Senate.
Washington, Jan. 22.—1 n the senate Mr
Cameron (Wis.), from the committee on
claims, reported favorably the bill limiting
the time for the presentation and payment of
claims against the United States.
The resolution offered by Mr. Plumb in re
lation to Oklahoma was laid over in his ab
eence. Mr. Vest offered a substitute pi -
voting that the secretary of th* interior
should ascertain from the Creek and Seminole
Indians on what terms they would be willing
to abandon all their rights in Oklahoma
The senate then proceeded to consider the
I ills on the calendar.
Tbe bill authorising the construction of a
bridge over the Mississippi river at Kt. Louis
was passe* 1.
Mr. Hoar, from the committee on judicl
r ry, moved to take up the bill to establish a
court of appeals He explained that this was
a bill for tbe relief of the supreme court of
t ie United States, popularly known as David
Davis’ bill, which once passed the senate with
substantial unanimity. If adopted by the
s- nate now it could not possibly pass the house
b fore towards the close of the session, so that
tie appointments to be made under the bill
vould fail to tbe incoming and not to tbe
present administration.
Mr. Jonas objected to tho present consider
ation of the bill and called for the yeas and
hays.
l’he senate by a vote of 26 to 13 took up the
bill.
House.
Mr. Dibrell (Tenn.) from the committee on
agriculture reported the agricultural appro
p. .ation bill and gave notice that he would
o litup on Saturday. The bill appropri
ate $556,290, which is $108,900 less than was
a propriated last year, and $152,82*1 less than
tl ■ estimates.
On motion of Mr. Ellis (La.) the house thin
vr it into committee of the whole on the In
dian appropriation bill.

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR GALVESTON.
Can the Heirs of Col. Dangworthy Collect
Ground Kent from the Whole City.
New York, Jan. 2J -—Real estate owners
tn Galveston, Toxas, are likely to have an op
portunity to prove thd validity of their titles
to the lands mey hold. Mr. U. N. Cast- who
la connected with the Home Life Insu mice
Company of this city, is advertising for the
legal heirs of Col. Asahel Laugworthy, iorm
bi'ly* a New York lawyer, and if any are
found suit will be brought to recover 4,400
acres of land on which Galveston now stands.
CoL Langworthy, m ISill or 1832, sold out
his property in this city, including real estate
worth now several millions, and remove 1 to
the republic of Texas with his family. While
there he caused the laud now
occupied by GalVeston to be
surveyed and then purchased it from the
government, Anson Jones being then presi
dwnt. Langworthy and his wife lied, leav
ing two daughters, who returned to New
York and were married here Some tune
ab->ut the year 1855 tho e tw<> daughters sent
an agent to what had then become tho state
of Texas, to look up tbe property which 'heir
father owned there. This a-ent was unni le
to find all the papers necessary to prove the
title to the land, and the matter was dropped.
U hile attending to some private business
in the south, Mr. Case learned of this old
ci dm on the Galveston real estate, but
thought little of it until by accident he dis
covered that the missing papers necessary to
•'tablish tlie title were in exLtonce, and
uld be obtained by the heirs at any time,
ie then began to look around for the heirs,
but has as yet heard nothing from them.
A Murderer Kun to Death.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 22. On December 31
last, as reported at tbe time in full by the
American Press Association, J< hn W. Smith,
a notorious desperado of Heard county, shot
down Bonner Barker of that county, killing
him instantly. His accomplices were his
brother A. J. Smith an i a man name 1 King.
Barker’s bride wife clung to the Smiths, beg
ging for her husband’s life. After the crime
both A. J. Smith and King were arrested,
but the principal was still at largo. The gov
rrnor tiffered a reward of $ 50 for his a> rest'
an l relatives of the murdered man off r A
still large rewards. Bands of armed nun
scoured the country without result. Three
days ago Sheriff Hewitt, of Carroll coun y,
with bis deputy, left for the purjH»se of hutt
ing Smith down They laid in the w< ods
hungry and cold for two days and nights
watching for him. On Tues-lay about 1
ns they were watching and shivering. Smith
stole by, and they arrc be l him Over a
hundred men, bent on lynching, had hunt I
him lor ten days, and Smith was gla i that he
had fallen into sate hands, ..s he was almost
starved and frozen, and, it Is said, was more
liken will animal when caught than a human
l»eing. He was placed in jail. It is thought
that an attempt will be m ide to lynch aim.
Observations in tin* Azure.
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan 22. In telling of
the r<*snlt of his balloon ascension Signal Ser
vice Officer Hammond says:
“When we started from the Girard college
grounds at 4:15 o’clo<'k Sunday afternoon, I
confess I felt just a little nervous This was
soon dispelled, however, for Prof. King w r a?
coolness itself. The ascent was mam) xor tlw
purpose of obtaining the changes of temper
ature at different elevations. We found that
the tempi rature varies one degree in 380 Icet
of altitude. When wi- started the thermom
eter stoo<l 23 degrees above zero. At 5,8 X)
feet it had gone down to 9 -h-gn-es In three
minutes we r-ise 1,300 Let or at about the
rate of 400 feet a minute. At an elevation of
two-thirds of a mile we could distinctly hear
voices from below. The di'4.anc« traversed
was about eighty miles, which w« a<•eomplisbed
in two hours and fifty minutes. Descent was
made at Manahavvken, a short distance from
Barnegat. ”
A Judge to be Impeached.
Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 22.—Articles of
impea hmvnt have been drawn up against
Judge Guthrie, of the Kanawha judicial cir
cuit, found upon alleged immorality of an
unpardonable character and the employment
of his offi- ial authority for the purpose of
furthering his political ends. The proofs are
said to be so convincing that there cm be no
doubt 6f. the judge’s guilt. Republicans are
said to be pushing t he charges and democrats
ire having nothing tod > with them, because
ihey are afraid anything they might do would
be regarded as part and par.-el of a political
( heme, as Judge Guthrie was ei<*cl . as a
icpublicau and greenbheker. The articles
will be presented to the legislature in a few
lays.

AND FUTURE PROSPECTS.

I lurk Pen Pictur< of Cincinnati —
The Steamship War.
New York, Jan. 22. —The annual sugar
trade of the United States, exclusive of the
Pacific coast, during the year ended Decem
bers. 1884, as reported by the Shipping and
Commercial List, shows the following inter
esting partieulara: The total receipts of for
eign sugar at all American ports on the
Atlantic seaboard were 1,133,904 tons of
2,24 • pounds, of which 63,648 tons were ex
ported to Canada, and 88,917 tons remained
on haul; showing that 981,404 tons of for
eign sugar was consumed in this country dur
ing (he year. The home production of the
soul born states was 135,443 tons, which gives
the grand total of sugar consumed in the
United States at 1,116,847 tons, or 51.70
poun* s ,»er capita. The increase of consump
tion f->r the year was 65,882 tons over that
of 1883.
Beet root sugar, of which 03,000 tons were
received from Europe during the year, al
ready challenges caue sugar for the control
of rhe markets of the world and will boa
most |K»tent factor in shaping tho coarse of
the sugar trade for some time to coma. Tho
yeai juM jiftbt has been a disastrous one, and
i the market value of raw sugir has in many
instances gone below the coai of -production,
j This has borne more disastrously on the pro
ducing countries, as tho heavy failures in
Europe and tho distress in Cuba boar wit-
' Dess.
The production of sugar throughout the
world during the sioxt year very largely do-
I pen Is upon the u-urse of tho market during
j the next three or four months. The contin
| gencios of wea >r, moisture and temperature
are matters of secondary consideration in
view of the fact that planters will be unwill
, ing to harvest crops whose market valise will
n-t repay the cost of gathering and manu
facture, while bankers will be un
willing to loan with certainty of having
Ito write off another debit balance against
; sugar. In almost every sugar producing
' country the latest advices received point to
a supply of > ane and beet root in excess of
lasi- year, but how much of this will be bar ;
i vestal and turned into sugar will be deter- ;
iniuod by the future market value of il>»
I commodity.
The steady shrinkage of prices has brought
the market value of raw sugar to the lowest
point recorded in thirty-five years The
year opened with fair refining selling at
6 11-16 i entii, and although during the month
of August it had fallen to 4 11-16 cents, a de
cline of two cents, the best price afterward
obtained was 4 13-16 cents, an advance of
only on(»-eighth of a cent, and the year closed
• with 4% cents the best obtainable price. The
average price for the year for the standard
j grade was 5.29 cents, the lowest average price
i since 1854. That this value is below the cost
of praiuetion can be readily ascertained, for
when the duty, freight and charges are de
dueled there is a little more than o. e cent
per pound left, from which Cuban planters
have to deduct export duty and land car
, Haga.
Tlie Queen City Given Away.
New York, Jan. 22.—Among I Ini- .
■ton’s chat items in the Times is
the following: “The other day 1
met a ('in i nuiti young man who is studying
law h. re, and who had just returned from a
visit to the city formerly devoted to pork
and now the seat of musical culture, lie
bore the usual grimy appearance of the aver
age resilient there, and evidently realized tho
fact end trie-1 to explain. ‘You New York
ers,’ he sui I, ‘grumble about your streets,
but you ought to see Cincinnati Dirt! Why,
sir, it’s a foot deep on the crosswalks. Mud!
It's h) bad that the steamers get up into the 1
bac’. country by mistake on dark nights;
and sootl Why, man, it snows black in Cin
i cinnati. And the worst of the whole business .
i is that the people are crazy for everything
white. The government is building a new :
custom house. It's been working on the •
thing for years, and nobody knows when the 1
building will ije completed. It takes half the j
yearly appropriation to clear off the dirt ac
cumulating after the appropriation for the 1
previous year giv* s out. Then, in nearly
j every st re window they are using white en
nn-ded letters for signs. But the biggest
k culation was made by an enterprising
i New Yorker just before Christmas. He
: bought up ali the white silk handkerchiefs he j
’ could find east and imported them into Cin
cinnati. He advertised ’em freely and put I
’em on sale at fifty cento a piece. Did they
■ell? Well, on the day after Christmas every
other ma.i you'd meet on the streets was
strutting along with a white silk handker
chief an out his neck, proud as a peacock
every man of them, and what was oddest, .
no one seemed to realize that bls neighbor
was just aa gorgeous as himself and drifting
I with thesam'i snowy neckcloth toward the
same sad gri niness. 1 ”

A WEALTHY JERSEYTINSMITH LEAVES
ALL TO HIS SISTER,
Cutting 11 is Wife Off With a Shilling and
Disowning His Two Chihin n l ate of
a Young Society Belle Who
Married Below Her Station.
Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 22 When the
will of her husband, John A. English, was
offered for probate in Surrogate McAvoy’s
office, Mrs. Abbie L. English filed a caveat
signifying her intention to contest the instru
ment. English died on December 31, leaving
an estate valued at between $50,000 and $70,-
000 Hu cut off his wife without a shilling
mid virtually disowned his two children. He
gave them a paltry $1 ': each, mid made his
wi .owed sister. Bridget Fitzgerald, sole heir
to the bulk of his fortune Mrs. En dish lias
a sensational history, and the pres ut contest
promises to reveal some interesting testimony
showing the fate of a young society belle who
married far below her station in life.
Mrs. English, who is about thirty five years
, of age, still handsome and well preserved, be
longs to one of the most ar’itocratic families
of Bergen. Slid is the f seer o! John M.
Jom s, of Jersey City Heights, who several
years ago married a mikionaire heiress of
Now York Mrs. English was reared amid
luxury and refinement and moved in the best
so ioty. Bhe was carefully educated, and
when oighteoii years of ago she was uonsid
; ore t the reigning beffe of her circle. Bhe re
fused several very flattering offers. She
chanced to meet John A. English, a plain,
simple tinsmith without any education to
speak of. English was rather a prep-wessing
Individual, and, charmed by his frank, mamy
bearing, she full desperately in love with him
and after a brief courtship married him
seventeen years ago, despite the protests of
her relatives, who were sliocke<i at the idea
j of her alliance with a man so unsuited to her.
Tho young wife devoted herself to her hus
' band’s interests, and although her wealthy
relatives did not discard her she seldom met
them Two children blessed the happy couple,
and for ten years they lived happily. Busi
ness prospered, and from a small tinker-shop
■ Mr. English rose to become proprietor of a
j largo establishment. L<*ss than six years ago
Mrs. English left her husbio. t's house, taking
her children with h'*r. She took up her abode
with her parents, who welcomed her back
with open arms. After that she refused to
I have anything to do with her husband, and
seldom allowed him to see the children.
Shortly afterwards she began a suit for a
I limited divorce on tho ground of alleged
i cruelty, to the surprise of English, who, it
; was generally believe I, always adore I his ac-
I complished wife. It was a b’tter contro
versy. 'Die most eminent counsel were em
ployed on both sides. ( ongr sstnnn Scudder
and Jacob Woart bad charge of her interests,
while ex-Chancellor Benjamin Williamson
and ex-Attorney General Robert Gilchrist
defended English. Mrs. English obtained a
decree of divorce, but the court of appeals
reversed the decision. Mrs, English, how
ever, did not return to her husband, but con
tinued to live with her parents.
The custody of the children, then a bright
la I of nine years and a little girl a few years
younger, was awarded to the father. Before
he was allowed to take them away with him,
the court ordered him to file a bond to guar
antee that ho would not secret them. The
proposal shocked the sensitive tinsmith, whose
pride was sorely wounded. He openly told
the court that if his word was insufficient he
‘ did not want to have his children He retired
! a heart-broken man, and never again ex
pressed a desire to set'his off pring, though
he dearly loved them. “I do not want to whi
them,” he often said, “until tlie order of the
court is changed.”
He took np his home with his sister Bridget,
who kept house for him. Os lute years be
often reverie I to his troubles, saying:
“My wife believed me good enough for
her, but her family thought I was beneath
her level.”
In the fall of 1876 be made his last will and
testament, the same ns was offered for pro
bate. He appointed his brother Richard, his
cousin John Eng ish, and John Ryan as Lis
executors. He bequeathed his fortune to his
■ister, cutting his own flesh and blood off, as
said above
On Christmas day he contracted a cold,
which developed into pneumonia., from the
effectsof which he died. During nis last ill
ness neither his wife nor children vLitud him,
but they attended the funeral.
Tbe first bearing of the case will take
place before Judge McGill, in the Hudson
county orphans’ court, on Saturday, Jan
j uary 31.
