Why He Was Not Congratulated.
Denver, Col., March 9. —In the senate,
Senator Galloway’s resolution introduced
that the senate send President CL v-land a
songratulatory telegram, came up for action.
It found opposition, even the demo
'ratic side remaining passive. On motiotf of
Senator Stevt-fisOiq one of the dissenters,
['lceland’s bttir on silver addressed to
Warner and other democrats of congress was
read by the cleric An exh-act from an edi
torial in the News, the leading democratic
?aper of Denver, which spoke of the “lament
able ignorance” of President Cleveland, was
ilso read. Round after round of severe
criticism was hc-ajK-J on the president for his
Adverse silver views, and finally {Senator Gal
Io way withdrew the resolution.
Senator Lamar's SucceMOr
Jackson, Miss., March 9.—The last appli
cants for Lamar's senatorial vacancy are:
W. 8. Featherstone, of Holly Springs, and J.
W. C. Watson, of the same city. The gov
ernor cont inues to re eivelet ers and indorse
ments from all portions of tae state recom
mending E. Walthall. His mat! is burdened
with such missives and the pressure in tre
mendous.
Washington Notes.
Washington, March 9. —Fhejiomeual
weather continue! and visitxo. are still
mjoying themse’v® visiting the hi any places
rs interest in the 'city. The crowd at the
capitol is smaller aud the building is under
going a thorough cleaning made necessary
by the great crowds of visitors during the
jast week.
The general impression among the senators
appears to lie that a special session of the
tenate w ill not last more than two or three
weeks.
The caucus committees on majority and
minority that the senate appointed for that
Mir pose, expect to arrange a committee of
memliership anti believe that the lists will be
"evised sufficiently to properly place the new
maters.
A number of democratic senators and rep
resentatives are preparing to remain here
tome time yet. and the impression prevails
hat there will be many changes made in the
most prominent offices during the next few
lays. Several state delegations in congress
lad a meeting since the 4th inst., for the pur
pose of agreeing ujM>n some basis of distribut
ing offlo's. The changes expected to occur
Irst are in the prominent positions in the de
partment here, Ums the consulates, which
lave no tenures, and f'>reign missions, some
if which will be vacan tby resignations an
ticipating requests to that effect It. is gen
erally believed that postmasters will not be
listurbed under ordinary circumstances that
those who have not violated the civil
lervice laws will be permitted to serve
lut this term. The same may be said of cus
toms and revenue collectors, United States
marshals and district attorneys. A strong
pressure is being brought to L ar upon the
prewdent for appointments in separUnenta,
and among the qonii unions anticipated for
the first of next week, and those, assistant
secretaries and auditors, and all members of
the new cabinet liave taken the oath of office.
They will not, however, assume active con
trol of their departments until Monday.
Each of the retiring secretaries was visited
by employes and farewells were exchanged.
MYSTERIOUS SPOOK.
Huinfcn Deviltry Palmed Off for a Spirlt
s tfal .Manifestation.
Missouri Valley, la., March o.—The in
habitants of Sandy point, in this county, are
terribly excited over the appearance of a
ghost in a haunted house. The house ha*
been unoccupied tor some time, and the ghost
is said to make nightly visits. The alleged
spook is said to make his appearance in the
centre of the dining room arrayed in black,
and after a short stay, to ascend upward
through the ceiling overhead. Gne of the
•villagers attempted to strike it across the
hips witn a cane, bur the cane came in con
tact with nothing and the spook laughed
and asked if he thought it possible to harm
him.
This narative is told by the postmaster at
Sandy Point and by all the citizens residing
in the vicinity. A committee of 100 grangers
purpose to surround the house, taking with
them a barrel of tar and feat tiers for use if
any human deviltry is discovered.
McAden Censured.
Raleigh, March 9.—The house of com
mos committee appointed under the resolu
tion concerning the assault on Richard Pear
son, the member from Buncombe county, by
R. Y. McAden, made a report saying that
McAden has infringed upon the rights of
every legislative body to protect itself and
its members from ‘ personal violence; that he
is punishable as for contempt of the privil
eges of the bouse, and that the manner of
conducting his trial is in the discretion of the
house, but in view of the approaching close
of the session and the pressure of public busi
ness it is inexpedient to do more than to
adopt resolutions censuring the conduct of
McAden.
Booth Remains on the Boards.
Boston, March 9.—The report that Edwin
Booth contemplates retiring from the stage is
pronounced by Mr. Booth himself to be with
out foundation. He is under an engagement
for next season and w-ill devote most of his
time to the New England circuit, appearing
only in the cities of New York Philadelphia

GRANT’S CONDITION.
EPITHELIOMA OF THE TONGUE THE
DISEASE OF THE WARRIOR.
Complete Diagnosis of the Case Which
Affiicts the Old Commander —Letter
of Explanation and Mutual l’u
derwtandings Reached.
New York, March 9.—Gen. Grant did not
get up until near noon, and partook of a light
breakfast in liquid form. He passed a good
night, sleeping nearly all the time, and dur
ing the morning he dozed in a comfortable
manner. While the general’s condition is
without material change, he suffers toss pain
. and apj.>ears to be more easy.
New York, March 9.—The Medical Re
cord, heretofore quoted in these dispatches
in connection with accounts of the condition
of Gen. Grant, contain the following:
“In view of receut developements in Gen.
Grant’s case, the Record’s bulletin of two weeks
ago, so largely quoted by the press of the
country, requires some explanation. It is
fair to state that facts at that time presented
by the Medical Record were founded on the
best authority, that of Dr. Fordyce Barker,
. atteudiug physician of Gen. Grant, and this
explanation is manifest in the following
note:
“24 East Tuibty-eighth Street—Dear
Dr. Shrady: The statement which I made you
was literally true at the time I made it, and
lam certain Dr. Douglas would then have
made precisely the same. I saw Dr. Doug
las last evening and he then said what I had
; told you was exactly what he should have
said at the time. But Monday after 1
saw you the action of congress had a most
depressing effect on Gert Grant, his vital
I powers suddenly broke down aud the local
malady speedily assumed., a now aspect.
I Newsjiajier accounts have been greatly exag
‘ gvrafed, aud we have never anticipated any
| such sjwdy termination ns they have indi
• cated. I do not believe Dr Douglas ever
used the word cancer in connection with the
' case. We Lave always spoken of it as epi
| thelioma of a malignant type. Probably it
. was greatly improved for a time by the local
; treatment of Dr. Douglas, and the local con
| dition was manifestly improving until the
moral shock broke down his general system.
Ever faithfully,
[Signed.] Fordyce Barker.
“Wednesday noon, March 4, 1885.
“It is a matter of deep regret that the
grave suspicions entertained of the serious
nature of Gen. Grant’s disease are confirmed
b the diagnosis of epithelioma of the tongue
and sauces. This disease we name, which is
now perhajw heard of by the general public
lor the first time, assumes an importance aw
to s udy which it could never otherwish ob
tain. aud consequently the daily papers are
educating the people with regard to it, so
3hat the term epithelioma malignancy and
infiltration will be as well understood as in
former times were those of suppuration, pus
iraek and bullet- cyste.
“As might havfebeen anticipated under the
circumstances, the published reports of the
general’s condition were very much exag
gerated. The disease is by no means as ex
tensive as is generally believed. In fact, the
ulcerations, small in extent, are limited to
the right pillars of the sauces ; the anterior
one being perforated at its base adjoining the
right side. The root of the tongue is indur
ated to a slight extent, as is also the neigh
boring gland under the angle of the jaw on
the right side of the neck. The roof of the
mouth along the line of the hard palate and
side of the median line contains two small
warty-like excrescences, which show a ten
dency toward cellproliforation.
“The epiglottis is free from any abnormality
as are all parts, although Induration of the
tongue has existed more or less since last
fall, when the patient was first seen by Dr.
Douglas. The ulcerations have appeared
quite recently. It was during their progress
that the general suffered from a pain in a
right ear, which had been entirely relieved
by local application of four per cent, solution
of cocoacine. Under the same treatment all
pain in deglutition is now entirely controlled
and the pat ient kept in a very comfortable
state. The pulse, which is nominally sixty
per minute, occasionally reaches eighty
beats. Bodily temperature normal. Appe
tite fair, which is saying everything in its
favor as the genet**! is not a hearty eater.
“His bodily con'iition is, however, much
below jiar, and is more U> be considered at
present than the local disease. The treat
ment of the case has been judiciously conser
servative from the start. Fluid extract of
cocoa is administered internally and idio
form is dusted upon the ulcerations. Con
trary to the general impression, the tongue
itself is not ulcerated, nor has it been, so far
as we can learn, at any time during the prog
ress of the disease. The troublesome tooth,
said to have boon extracted for the relief of
lingual ulceration, was on the opposite or
sound side of the mouth, and was removed to
relieve a persistent ache in the left ear.”
BASE BALL TALK.
An Important Meeting for the Scheduling
of Gaines.
New York, March 9. The committee to
arrange the schedule of base ball games for
the ensuing season met at the Fifth avenue
hotel. The committee was appointed at the
last annual meeting of the national base ball
league in November last and are to make
their report to the annual convention.
The work of perfecting a schedule is a long,
tedious one, and after a five hours’ session
the committee failed to complete any definite
arrangement. They will meet again and
perfect the list in time for the convention.
Everything has been satisfactorily ar
ranged between the league and American as
sociation and there will be only two or three
i conflicting dates.
Among the first to arrive were Boden, of
Boston, Spalding, of Chicago, and Simmons,
of Philadelphia. The were soon followed by
i managers and players from most of the 1 eague
and American clubs.
The blacklist is well represented. Mr.
Lucas, of St. Louis, who will represent his
club as a full member for the first time, will
endeavor at the meeting to secure the rein
statement of his blacklisted men. In addi
tion to the influence which wifi be brought to
bear in behalf of the expelled players several
of them will be represented by lawyers. The
outlook, however, for their reinstatement is
not bright. The old league men are solid
against having anj'thing to do with them,
and all say they will not vote for their rein
statement. Among the blacklisted players
who will try to get reinstated is Nichols, who
was expelled several years ago for crooked
ness. He will be represented by a lawyer.
Asleep on Their Eugine.
Montreal, March 9.—A gentleman who
was on the train that into collision on
the Intercolonial railway with a freight
train says the cause of the collision was that
the driver and fireman, who were l>oth killed,
were asleep on the engine, and ran through
the station when they should have stopped.

Paris, March 9.—Another meeting of in
vincibles of a more informal character than
the receut conclave took place at Franeon
ville, a village between Sannois and Ponnoise
near Paris. As is unknown, through the
seizure of certain compromising letters in
London, the meeting was to have come of at
Sannois, but on reaching the place fixed on
I for the rendezvous it was found to be closed.
The party, which included eight only of the
eleven delegates present at the conclave,
therefore, walked on to Fraconville, dis
cussing financial matters as they went.
A favorite occupation of real and bo
gus invincibles would appear to lie that the
conspirators have an occasumal difficulty in
cashing checks. This is not exactly amazin g.
The meeting resolved to draw up a letter
for transmission to the Prince of Wales
through Michael Flannery, copies of the let
ter to be sent to Earl Spence, to the lord
mayor of Dublin and other notables. This
precious document is addressed to “His
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Grand
Master of the English Freemasons,” and con
' descendingly promises that consideration and
good will shall be shown during his trip to
Ireland. Neither the prince nor princess
shall be harmed during their stay on the
sacred soil of Erin. “Go and see for your
self,’ says the document, ‘what the Irish
people have suffered. We shall thank you,
although you are the residuary, legatee of
centuries of usurpation and attempted extir
mination.” The letter concludes:
“The life of your royal highness, apart
from the good feeling shown in your proposed
journey, has no definite connections with
| Ireland’ - aspirations ar Ireland's wrongs.

Entering the Crow Creek Reservation.
Chamberlain, Dak., March 9.—Already
fully 2,000 people are making their homes on
the new reservation. About one-quarter of
tho claims have been taken. Bonafido
home seekers are building their houses by the
hundreds. Major Gassmi'n, at Crow Creek,
the Indian agent, hits always opposed tho
opening of the reservation, and he issue*l the
following order:
“No actipn having been taken by tho gov
ernment to ojien tho Crow Creek reservation
tor settlement, all persons now on the same
are trespassers anti are hereby warned to
withdraw and remove their property there
from. All property found on the reservation
after tho 4th of March will be confiscated by
tho goveri ment. No one except au ludian
can obtain legal right to lands on the reserve
by squatting, building or surveying.
“JohnG. Gassman,

He bad his Indian police start upon the
rounds notifying the settlers. Some of them
were greatly alarmed, but they quickly re
covered aud are preparing to resist any at
tempt to carry out the order. Parties at ‘
Chamberlain at once telegraphed to Wash-i

HORRIBLE HERITAGE.
Offsprings of Blood Relatives and a Family
of Idiots.
Nevada, Mo., March 9.—A pitiable Hight
came to notice here on a passing train,
being Mrs. Hale and her four idiotic and
helpless offspring. The party was taken on
board at Ellis, in this county, and was on its
way to some point in Henry county, where
they have relatives living. The mother is
seventy years old and in feeble health.
'rhe eldest of tho imbeciles is a man fifty
three years old, while the others are growing t
gray. Some of them were as helpless as in
fants, and none of them were capable of
caring for themselves. The family has been
living in this county for a num
ber of years, and its Instory is
peculiarly sad. The father of the children is 1
familiarly known as “Parson Hale,” a title
which he acquired by his frequent exhorta
tions at Methodist meetings in his neighbor
hood. He is of an eccentric nature, and
would frequently leave home for weeks at a
time, without apparent reason. Several
months ago he left, and lias not been heard of
since. There were eight children born to the
old couple, seven of whom are “idiots,” the
other being of sound mind; three have died,
and the sane one is living out in the country,
the four helpless ones being with their moth
er.
They have lived in wretched proverty for
years, being possessed of no means and hav- ,
ing only what they could provide for each
other. The pitiable condition of this family
is not without its moral. The parents of
Parson Hale were cousins, the parents of Mrs.
Hale were near reletives, and Parson Hale
and his wife are cousins.
After a New Trial.
New Orleans, March 9.—The counsel for
Judge Ford and the other murderers of
M urphy have moved for a new trial on the i
ground that the verdict was contrary t to the j
law and evidence, and further, because the j
verdict was rendered and recorded on Sun
day. In point of fact tlie verdict was read ,
two minutes before midnight, but was not re ‘
corded until five minutes after. The motion I
will be heard Tuesday, when the accused will
be arraigned for sentence. The judge is
; likely to refuse a new trial and give the full
; extent of the law. The city council was to
: have impeached Ford Thursday night but he
avoided it by resigning.
A Notorious Murderer Speeded Away to
Prevent Lynching.
Louisville, Ky., March 9.—A Megram
from Mt. Sterling says that Mon table Hate
field had been brought there from Wolfe 1
county for safe confinement, as it is feared
that he will be lynched if left in the latter
place. Hatfield is known as the leader in one i
of the most horrible crimes on record in the ‘
i mountain country.
J The trouble originated in Pike county, dur
• ing which one of the McCoy boys killed one
! of the Hatfields. The latter taught the mub-
Iderer.
That night the Hatfields got their gang to
gether, went to McCoy’s house and captured
all four of the McCoy boys. 'They were after
old man McCoy, too, but he escaped to the .
j mountains. The Hatfields kept their prisou
i ers for a day, then took them over the river
l to West Virginia, tied all four of them to
! trees, face foremost, anil then standing a few
paces off shot them one by one in the back of
the head. They loft their victims all dead
I and bound to the trees. So great was tho
terror created throughout that part of the
country by this crime, that it was some days
before anybody dared to go and cut the bod
ies down.

COWBOY KILLED.
A Cu» At Wichita, Kan.. Whivh Seeing
Like a Cowardly Murder.
Wichita, Kas., March 9.—The citizen of
, Wichita, who hied to his daily occupation at
nn early hour was greeted with the phrase
peculiar to the wild, wild west, “Another
man for breakfast.” It was ascertained that
r man lay dead at the Farmers’ and Drovers’
hotel, on Douglas avenue, near the Arkansas
river bridge The coroner, with a jury
inquired into the affair.
After examining the body, which proved to
bo that of a cowboy named Samuel Hughes,
Mrs. Roberts, wife of the proprietor of the
house, Samuel Thompson and Edmund R.
Goodrich, who did the shooting, were called
and examined. The evidence brought out
was to the effect that Goodrich was employed
in the house as a general roustabout, that it
was his duty, in the absence of the landlord,
to let in tboso who came seeking lodgings
after the regular bed-time. Hughes and
Thompson had l)oen stopping at the house off
and on, and about 12 or 1 o’clock came there
for lodgings.
Goodrich got up and let them in. Both
Hughes and Thompson had been drinking,
and ax they entered the door the former gave
a cowboy yell. Goodrich expostulated with
him, and after some words went behind the
counter. Hughes then went up to the coun
ter, registered his name and gave another
yell. Some words passed between Hughes
and Goodrich, whan the former started b</>
hind the counter and seized hold of Goof
rich’s arms. Goodrich endeavored to push
him oil, when Thompson run in between
them. Goodrich then slipped out behind
them went into a room in a hall leading
from the office to the dining-room, and tak
ing a (‘Jolt’s double-action 45-caliber revolver
from nudes the pillow of a bed he occupied,
started back to tho office.
As he stepped to the door of tho room
Hughes was standing in the office door, about
five or six feet from Goodrich, when the pis
tol went off and Hughes fell, tho ball taking
effect in his neck, and a little to the right of
the Adam’s apple. Goodrich dropped the pis
tol, ran to Hughes and raised his head, at the
same time exclaiming, “1 didn’t mean to
shoot you, Sam!” The wounded man replied,
“You liave killed me,” aud in a few momenta
breathed his last. Goodrich immediately
dressed himself, went out, surrendered to a
policeman, and was locked up in jail. Th<
jury found a verdict in accordance with the
above facts, and the prisoner was committed
for further examination by a magistrate.
PROHIBITION DYNAMITE.
Blowing l T p u Saloon in the Cause of Tem
perance.
Audubon, la., March 9.—At Exira, ten
miles south of here, an attempt was made to
blow up a saloon building. For years a war
has been carried on there over tho liquor
question, but last year the anti-prohibition*
isls elected their candidates, and a few weeks
ago two saloons wore opened. At the muni
pal election the license party carried every
thing. A few days after ward one of the sal<K>n
keepers was arrested but afterward dis
charged. A terrific explosion startled the
town. An explosive jiackage wound on a
rope was placed in front of Morris & Hell
man’s saloon, one of tho best buildings in the
I town.
| Nearly every particle of glass in tho build
j ing was smashed and a large holo blown in
! the floor. More or loss glass was smashed in
buildings 200 feet away. Two men have lieen
arrested charged with engineering the explo
sion, though it is generally believed they
were the tools of inorfe prominent people.
The deed was doubtless instigated by one or
two practical prohibitionists, and it is gener
ally condemned by the temperance men. The
people of Exira are frightened and excited,
and the attorney engaged for the prosecution
openly chargee that the justice of the peace is
in collusion with the prisonersand will acquit
them whatever evidence may be introduced.

The Heavy Weights Thump Each Other
Out of Time in New York.
New York, March 9.—Charley Mitchell
wax referee at Madden’s heavy weight box
ing tournament. The first setto was shortly
before midnight. Jack Cooper, of Dublin,
and Harry Kelly, of New York, faced each
other. Mitchell called “time” and Cooper

Kelly could get up. The last time Kelly did
not get up and the referee pronounced Cooper
the winner in thirty seconds.
Then Jim Fell, of New York, and Jim Mc-
Devitt, of Bridesburg, Pa., tried it. Fell
went right at McDevitt and hit him a dread
ful right hander on tho left jaw, knocking
him out. Time, fifteen seconds.
The last bout was lietween Fell and Cooper.
Both men forced the fight, but Fell got in the
most telling blows. The referee had to order
them half a dozen times to break. Coojier
was knocked down in every round. Fell
kept at hammer and tongs and had undoubtr
i edly the )>est of it. Fell weighs 170 pounds
, and Cooper 150 pounds. Mitchell awarded to
Fell the watch, which was tho prize of the
tournament. A subscription of SIOO was
raised for Cooper.

Dr. Dio Lewis says mat some years ago
he laid 1,000 feet of waler pipe, two
inches in diameter, to convey water from
a spring to his house and barn in the
country. It has never leaked, and has
never imparted any perceptible taste to
the water. This pipe is made of strong
paper wound into pipe form and thor
oughly soaked in tar. It becomes so hard
and strong that it will bear a pressure al
i most equal to iron.
