Washjs .ton, March 4 —Th special train
f aring Mr. Cleve land an 1 party slipped into
th !’•UDsylvania depot about an hour and a
h. later than the railroad oflicials planned
it. There were few at the depot, and
it was not until about an ho ;;- or two later,
after the jx ople had read the Albany dis
patch in the morning papers announcing the
departure of the presidential party, that it
u.-, suspected that Nr. Cleveland was iu
For some unexplained reason th r dispatch
g. nt to the citizens* committee, who were to .
m t‘t him on arrival here, was not delivered, ;
but several members of the committee heard
oi the probable arrival, and were an hand to •
meet him. There was a detention of a few
i. meats until < arria. s were, procur 'd, and
then the party were quietly driven to the Ar
lington hotel. Nothing noteworthy occurred
on the^v ay from Albany. There were no
crowds and but few stops. Thero was no de
tention at Jersey City, except to change en- |
gines and to switch the tram to the Penusyl- I
v ania track.
Mr. Cleveland and most of the party re- ’
tired before the train reached Jer/y City.
He slept soundly aud rose early in excellent :
health and spirits. Arriving at the hotel the .
party repaired to their rooms, where break- !
fast was served.
Among Mr. Cleveland’s many callers were
Senators Garland and Gorman. Secretary
McCulloch, W. H. Barnum and W. C. Whit
ney, of New York; W. F. Vilas, of Wiscon- '
sin; Gen. Sheridan, Vice President-elect ,
Hendricks and many others. Mr. Cleveland ‘
stated that he aad no program except to call .
upon President Arthur aud a conference, at
which Garland, Vilas, Whitney, Baruum, j
Manning and others will attend.
’xjave taking and farewells was the order
of the day at the white house. Mr. Ar
thur busied himself d of a lew bills .
aud other matters that remained unacted ’
upon. A Large number of personal friends, I
senators, representatives and others called to !
say good bye. The supreme court paid re
spects at noon, and the diplomatic corps
called to say farewell. President-elect and j
Col Berret, chairman of the inaugural com- i
mittee, drove to the white house and were J
received by Mr. Arthur. Quite a crowd as- j
sembled about the grounds and cheered Mr. I
Cleveland heartily.

A BABY IN A GRIPSACK-

(liven to Carry.
X* \v Haven,, Conn, March 4.—While
Thomas Gibbs, a licensed expressmen, was
standing in line with others of his craft out
dde the union station in this <*ity, he observed
i well <lr. s-*d man of medium height ap
proaching the line from the side of the sta
tion.
| The stranger carried a large valise. The

I ind informing the people living there that
I hey might expect the owner of the valise
I '■er;, boon Gibbs was warned to handle the
vulise with care as it. contained glass.
j The expre»!nau took the valise, aud placed
lit beside him in the wagon, and hurried oft’
io the indicated part oi Elm street, nearly
I two miles from the station. He failed to
j find any such number as 512. There are no
houses between 50u and 512. He cartel the
! vahse buck to the station and left jt in the
baggage room. About half an hour later
-iouiids us of a baby crying were hoard to '
ssue from the valise. Policemen Bradley
pried the valise open and round that
it contained, warmly clad and moaning
in its sleep, a pr t.y gi . baby about a week
j uld. Beside the chii.i hi a quantity of cloth-
I ing and a nursing bottle lull of milk. The
I »olice wag-hi was called >ad the waif taken

M the patron of Expressman Gibbs has been
obtained.
Gibbs says he n<>w remembers that the ;
stranger studious!; avoided going near

pc. set description given by Gibbs rushed
throe h the station and arross the platform ,
to the last car on the train. He suc
ceeded in catching it an<l swinging himself
alioard. The presumption is that he had ,
come from New York on the early evening ■
train, and that he took the first train back.
J The child had evidently been drugged to pre
vent its making an outcry on its trip with .
Gibbs to Elm street. The baby clothes iu I

occurred in the Usworth colliery in Sunder

to commence work when the explosion took
place. Twenty-seven dead bodies have been
taken out, and it is believed that few, if any,
<>f the miners escaped death.
The work of recovering the bodies is pro

The Sawdust Arena.
Parts, March 4.—M. Albert Menier inaug
! united at Neuilly, his private circus, now .
! christened Le Cirqne Alberti, one of the 1
most costly entertainments ever given in
, Paris.
The sal le de spectacle resembles the in-[
terior of a huge cathedral. The walls are i
hung with the rarest specimens of Gobelins !
and Beauvais tapestry, representing the
story of Sampson betrayed by Delilah. On 1
one side is a spacious ball room, adjoining;
cozy oriental salons. From the salle de spec
tacle is a wide corridor lined with Nouble
rows of arbutus trees leading to the ring, ar
ranged like the Cirque Dete in the Qhamps
1 Elyssee.
The stables are paved with bright colored
tiles, suggerdvo of th • miso en scene hippo
drome in Theolora. Exotic plants and palm
trees and rare and costly flowers are in
every nook and corner The orchestra of ;
. sixty musicians is concealed in a sort of
hanging garden. The entire premises are I
readiant with electric light.
I Th jam . inn?.n ■ >. v iih a grand I
assault d’armes by a dozen of the best fenc
ing amateurs and maitres d’armesin France.
M. Albert Menier then stepi>ed into the ring .
with his trained horse Aladdin, a line chest
nut gelding that courtesies and dances with
miraculous intelligence. Six clowns, ro
•railed from the bluest blood in France,
i then put in an appearance and won territkJ
applause by their skillful antics.
M<ilia. De Marsy, reputed to be one of the
prettiest young ladies in Paris, then came ■
forward with a trained gbat. The • enthusi- i
ast.ic guests, however, seemed to forget all
about the goat and were lost in admiration ■
of the ( harming Esmeralda, as she grace- '■
. fully posed under the searching rays of the
• electric light A huge elephant next came
, forward, under the guidance of another
young lady, and maneuvered a gigantic
velocipede. The elephant was succeeded by
twenty ballet girls from the Eden t heater,
who performed choice fiances from the Mes
•ialini and the Cour d’Amour. The circus
part of the entertainment ended at 1 a. hl, 1
and a grand ball followed. Among the in
vited were all of the noted vivieurs and all :
bhe pretty actresses of paris. At about 3 i
i j’chxjk over tiOO guests sat down tx> aglorious
mpper, worthy of the wildest imagination of
i Rabelais.
Financial Fears.
; London, March 4.—Financial circles in
i :his city are greatly excited at the prospect
if a conflict between England and Russia. ’
, When the market opened Lord Granville’s
iltimatum was the solo topic of conversa
tion. Values on the stock exchange in many
< securities were effected by the startling as- (
’ fieet which the eastern question has suddenly
issumed. Consols declined three-quarters
per cent. This remarkable fall, which is
. looked upon as a political barometer, is re
garded as in confirmation of the govern-
I meat's determination to nip in the bud any
attempt of Russia to obtain afo it-hold in '
Afganistan, and establish herself within
I itriking distance of Ihdia.
Gladstone** Condition.
! London, March 4.—Mr. Gladstone’s con
-1 lition is much improved and his physicians
<ay he passed a good night, anil express the
belief that he will be well in a few days.
! They attribute his illness to the excitement
' ind strain to which he has been subjected
luring the past week.
A TRAMP’S FASCINATION.
After Assaulting a Lady and Imprisoned is ’
Vittited by Ills Victim. •
Trenton, N. J., March 4.—The sheriff of
| Passaic county will bring John Coles to the
( itate prison here. Coles is a tramp, and ac ,
juired the habit of going to the residence of .
i Mrs. Eliza Crompton, at Passaic Bridge, for ‘
something to eat.
■ One day he took advantage of Mrs. Cromp- ■
• uon’s kindness and assaulted her. She was t
quite badly injured. Coles was arrested and
put in the county jail. The moment Mrs.
i Crompton hoard the tramp was imprisoned,
: she began to act strangely.
i She went to the jail and told Coles she re- i
gretted that she had had him imprisoned. ‘
Her husband could not stop her and she took .
! the tramp fruit and flowers. When Coles I
was tried Mrs. Crompton sat in court con
stantly. She followed the prisoner daily to
his sell. The other day Coles was sentenced
to two years in the tstate prison. Mrs. Cromp
ton wept, an I followed Ihe tramp again to
the cell, despite the jeers of the spectators.
She has made Coles promise to write to her
frequently, and has arranged to come here
! and visit him in prison at least ace a month.
Mrs. Crompton does not seern to be insane,. .
and her conduct is painfully inexplicable to
her husband and friends.

i citement prevails at this place and Cham- :
berlain, and all points between, over the re- '
i port circulated by a gentleman who has just ■
I irrived from Washington, that the Crow *
i Creek reservation was opened by executive j
order. Hundreds of squatters have rushed
on the unoccupied lands and built ;

GENERAL GRANT’S CONDITION.
A Gentle, Long Suffering, I’urom plain in-
Pat (*nt.
Xew York, March 4 -Gon. Grant weu’« i
to bed with the pleasant anticipat ion tha ho i
would be able in the morning to r- mine l.i>
literary labors. He had bad a more peaco i
ful day than usual, and h.-ui b <.«>mnara (
tively free from pain, and bn I tn;.on more 1
food than he had been able to partake of |
for some days past.
Dr. Douglass, when h? left hA patient, was i
able to confirm the above report given by
the family. lie sa' 1 he thought it
likely that the geu a! would bo
able to get back to fne writing of
his military memoirs, and n he had strength
enough for it it would be beneficial to him, ■
inasmuch as it would give him an occupation
that would tarn his attention away from his
malady. The doctor ’ hat Gen. Grant is
the most gentle, long suffering, and most
uncomplaining patient he has ever had.
“If Gen. Grant,” he said, “hasany satisfac
tion in the reflection that misery loves com
panionship, he may have it in a fact that I
' have learned, that the ox-k ing of Portugal is
I suffering from the same disease, and in the
i same place, with this difl’erence, tint the ex
i king’s mouth is affected on the l<»ft side,.while
the general’s trouble is on the right.”
i As to the ultimate result , Dr. Douglass says
i that cancer is an incurable disea.se. and the
time as to its fatal termiuatioh cannot be
I forecast.

New Y<)r : .*’ ch 4.—The result of the'
i first day of I >ng race ou rollers in Madi-
I sou Squai warden was a revelation as to
speed. All but live of the thirty-three start
lers appeared like light waistod striplings.!
! When they dashed away at a five minute!
1 gate, old sp->r’sinon expected to see the lead
ers slacken up within five miles, and half the '
number retire from the race before sundown, i
But the slim leaders kept up their astonish-
i ing gait hour after hour without showing '
i signs of unduo fat igue, leaving the heavier
, built men far in the rear.
I Frank Hart, who has grown somewhat
I stout since iiis last foot race in Now York, !
i was among the first to lag behind. He re
marked to his trainer, Frank Mt rritt: “I
, would like to pull off thesi* skates and go in
my shoes. I feel as if 1 hud wings on my
i feet and can’t use them.”
i iio rat a vhi h thoskaters glided around ;
i the eighth of a mile track was that of a lim-!
i ited express compart’d to a gravel train when :
, contrasted with the best pedestrian time, j
Rowell’s 150 miles in twenty-four hours
1 would be a snail’s pace alongside of Walton, i
Maddoeks, Boy st, Donovan, Schock and
others ou the track. So fast did the men
j circle the cou’ so that, experienced scorers
i were kept constantly on the alert to tally
, laps correctly. If mistakes were made in the
, records the diances are that the errors will
■ be against Ihr racers.
| In the mam the men skated nearly erect
: with easy and somewhat long strides, their
arms swinging regularly and evenly. Occa
sionly the monotony of motion was relieved
by spirts among the leaders and other pairs
who were close together in the race. Brisk
brushes would raise ripples of applause, but |
j th-* spectators were very charry of their I
cheers. In the marvel 1 ms race the leaders i
fail to arouse anything like enthusiasm. The
roar of the rollers over the pine trade ns the |
men swished around iu a living stream, led
to the fancy that the skaters were in the ;
rapids, out of which they < mid not turn,and >
wi re doomed to skate on until they dropped |
exhausted or de.ui in the current.
i’he skater who inspired ie most confi-!
deuce and plea ure was John R. Mayer, of |
New York. Wlie • many miles behind the ;
1 ■brs he skated with such easy grace and l
uniformity of motion a . to iitsure his keep
ing on the true a 1 r the full six days, and at
a rate that won! 1 carr ’ him to Chicago on
a sb:-light track i dore the week expires,
.'•layer is the fa o ite wi h the knowing ones.
Another favorite and perfect artis', on the
rollers is John Irish, o L icest *r, England.
Ho will probably move forward as the race
proceeds.
The race between Walton and Maddoeks •
during the entire twenty-four hours was i
one of the most, desperate in the annals of
spoi l. For hours they wore nearly on even !
terms. Walton could not afford to rest while j
his rival wa- 'it his b-mls, and Maddoeks did !
his best to shadow Walton, hoping in au op- j
opportune moment to gain the lead. In the I
evening Walton began to pull away from I
his rival, and had gone. 21'.) miles to Mud
docks’ 211. 'Lie polo contest was the iiucsl
exhibition of the kind aver seen here.
THE PENNSYLVANIA’S FIGURES.
Show a Decrease in the Gross Tonnage aa>
Net Earnings for 1884.
Philadelphia, March 4.—The annual ns
port of the board of directors of the Penn
sylvania rail load company, which is to ba
submitted next week to the yearly meeting
of stockholders, shows the net earn ings of
the main line aud branches from Philadel
phia to Pittsburg to be $10,135,529.23, net
loss under the united New Jersey rail
( road lease $593,536.28, The net
earnings of the Philadelphia and Erie rail-1
road were $1,291,278.65; not income of the
Pennsylvania railroad division, after deduct
ing the loss on the New Jersey division,
$9,591,992.95. The balance to the credit of
profit and loss on December 2*4, 1884, was
$14,032,917.97. The securities of branch and
auxilliary lines now owned by the company
amount, at their par value, to $128,058,-
. 846.50, and cost the company $96,866,-
516.64. The gross earnings of all lines
lust of Pittsburg and Erie during 1884 were
$48,566,917 84, while for 1883 they were a
little over fifty-one million. There was a
’ decrease of about $1,500,(MX) in the earnings
. of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis
railroad company and a like decrease in tho
, earnings of all the other lines west of Pitts
burg controlled by the company. There
i • were 81,585,008 tons of freight carried on all ‘
. tho hues in 2884, and 52,323,099 passen
! I gers. The decrease in the gross an<
y net earnings of the three di visions in 188 i
! was due entirely for the reduction of rate
i transportation the volume of townage and
I the number of passengers being greater than
; during the previous year. There were
. ‘ $5,793,151.61 expended for construction 1
equipment and real estate in branch and i
i auxilliary lines during the year.
