Rheumatism,
BEING duo to tho presenco of uric
scld In the blood, Is most effectually
cured by the use of Ayer's Snrsapo
rllln. Bo sure you get Ayer's nnd no
other, and take It till tho poisonous
acid Is thoroughly expelled from the
system. Wo challenge attention to this
testimony:
"About two years ago, after sufferlns
for nearly two years from rheumatic
con ,, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, Including mineral wators,
without relief, I saw by an advertlso
i i nt In a Chicago paper that a man had
bn relieved nt tills dHtressliir r .m
I ..in, after long suffering, by lak.ng
Ayer' Sarsaparlfla. I then deeded to
make a trial of this medicine, and took
It regularly for ciclit months, nnd am
pleased to state that It has effected a
complete cure. I have stneo had no re
turn of tho dlscasa." Mrs. It. Irving
Dodgo, 110 West 125th St., Now York.
"Ono year ago I was taken ill with
inflammatory rheumatism, being con
fined to my house six months. I came
out ot tho sickness very much debili
tated, with no appetite, and my system
disordered in every way. I commenced
using Ayer's Sarsaparl'lla and began to
itnprovo at once, gaining In strength
and soon recovering my usual health.
I cannot say too much In prnlso of this
well-known medicine." Mrs. L. A.

O'BRIEN GOES SATURDAY.
He Sails to Seek a Conference
with Parnell.
THE Ij ATT Kit MAKES A SPEECH.
Cheered hf Irltlimen In London, larnefl
Says Few Words Concerning the Great
Fight l'reparatlona to Giro lllm an
Ovation When llo Ileaches Ireland.
LONDON, Dec, a The Parnellltea and
their opponents rested on their arms Sun
day after the exciting events of Saturday.
The secession of forty-five members of the
Irish purllnmentnry party from the con
vention, upon Mr. Farnell's refusal to put
a motion ordering htm to leave the chair,
is still the talk of the town. The Parnell
ltea, it Is understood, are anxious to force
an appeal to the country as soon as possible,
and claim that their antagonists aro afraid
to aubmlt tho Issue of their conduct to tha
people. It la stated on the alleged author
Ity of Timothy Healy that the party headed
by Justin McCarthy will continue to keep
their seats without any resignations, up
holding the cause of home rule and wait
ing for time to bring Rbout a sober and
deliberate Judgment in tha now excited
Irish constituencies.
"Deader Than Isaao nntt.'
Mr. Barry said that Mr. Parnell'a cause
would lose Instead of gaining with tha
progress ri time, and that the next gen
eral election would see htm deader than
Isaac Butt. Parnell, on the othr.r hand,
la said to feel entirely confident and to bo
already selecting successors for those Lo
have deserted him. He is in amp'e funds,
as since tho division in the party several
American organizations have forwarded
money directly to him instead of to the
treasurers formerly appointed. A large
proportion of the Irish members have been
in receipt of stipends for their services in
parliament, and it la difficult to aee how
those disconnected from Parnell are to
receive their salaries hereafter, as the coin-1
mon fund Is locked up by the Imbroglio,
The MeCartliylteM Will Need Money.
One of the first tasks of the McCarth) -
ltes will necessarily be to devise some
scheme ot raising n fund Independent of
that heretofore relied upon for parliament-
JUSTIN U'CAIiTIlT.
ary expenses, and It Is not likely that:
either faction will obtain much money'
from the Irish people until the question ot
supremacy is settled.
Many ot the McCarthy people are much!
embarrassed for funds, as they have relied
on the quarterly checks for 250, which arei
just coming due. These checks will prob-i
ably be withheld by Mr. Parnell, and It Is
likely the needy members will be paid,
temporarily from the fund raised Saturday'
night for the establishment of a paper.
The antl-l'arnellltes are discussing tne
advisability of having Messrs. O'Brien and
Dillon return via France, in which coun-i
try a convention could be held for the pur-i
pose of obtaining their advice before they
submitted to rearrest and imprisonment.
Messrs. Gllbooly, P. O'Brien, Carew and
Mahon aro still classed as doubtful.
This makes the Uealy-McCarthy party's
strength fifty, and the Parnellltea' thirty
one. As leader and Friend.
New Yohk, Dec 10. In consequence of
the publication ot misleading versions of
the cablegrams which have jnst passed be
tween Mr. Parnell and Mr. O'Brien on the
subject ot negotiations for the reunion of
the Irish party Mr. O'Brien has communi
cated to the press the whole correspondence
follows:
New Yoax. Dec 7. 1890.
To Mr. Parnell, M. P., House of Commons, Lon
doo:
(Confidential.) I shrink with horror from tak
ing sides against you in a struggle which opens
auch aa appalling prospect of ruin and dtagrace
to our cause. Throughout this unhappy business
1 have abstained from saying one word personally
offenslre to you, and have read with deepeat pala
and disguat some of the personal attacks made
on you, and now before Ireland Is Irretrievably
committed to a ruinous conflict X appeal to you
as a leader I have for teD years been proud to
follow, and as a friend for whom I still feel a
warm affection, can you not see some way by
which, while safeguarding your own reputation,
the country may be saved from the destruction
which threatens tt f Wiixum 0'liint.v.
Too Late for ltescue,
London, Dec 8, 1890.
To Mr. O'llrien, Hoffman House:
Had you wired prior to Saturday some sug
gestion from me might have succeeded. Now
too late for me to rescue seceders from a false
position. Shall, however, be very glad to see and
consult you on arrival la Europe, Parnkll.
In addition to the above, Mr. O'Brien
forwarded the following cablegram yester
day: O'llrlen Will Sail Saturday.
Ntw Yore, Dec 0, 1800,
To Mr. rarnell, 11. 1"., House of Commons:
ltegret to find misleading version of my conll
dentlal cablegram published in the press. Your
reply shows a total mlaunderfetandlug of ray mes
sage, which was prompted by a i egard for post ser
vices and by,a still existing joraoual affection?
and sent with the knowledge ot colleagues here In
the earnest hope that you might In coosouance
with the will of a majority of the party, whose
election of chairmau we have Indorsed, Mod a
way by which tho country might he aave Jrom
k ruinous ooulllct. The tone of yoQr reply leaves
little ground for hope, hut having a regard to
the horrible consequences to the country ot a
prolonged Interulciue struggle, am still anxious
to hare aa Interview and shall start Saturday for
Franca on my way to Ireland. Am communicat
ing this to the press. Wiixum O'Daizx,
rarnell Speaks to a Crowd.
Lokdok. Dec 10. Mr, Parnell started
for Dublin last eveniug. There was a
crowd of Irish residents of London at the
railway station tasee him off, Thoy cheer
ed him with wild enthusiasm, and in re
sponse to their repeated calls Mr, Parnell
finally addressed them from a car window.
He said: "I am overjoyed that you have
honored me in such' numbers "with 'your
help In this fight which I have undertaken.
I owed sixteen years ago to Irishmen In
England the first assistance In framing
for my country the path which alio has
pursued from that day to this. I hays
never forgotten your help, and have' never
forgotten that to' you, exiles from Erin,
was due the first godspeed to the new
struggle.
They Would Win Together.
"You ahall have no cause to regret that
ypu stood by me in those days, and you
will be with me to the end, and togethel
wa will win for our country what, God has
determined she shall get."
These remarks were greeted with Im
mense enthusiasm. There were a number
of Healylte members of parliament In lbs
rear car of the same train. They listened
with apparent internet to what their re
jected leader had to Bay, but made no open
comment.
AnIntarvlew with Parnell.
Nkw York, Deo. 10. The Vorld pub
lhfhes an Interview with Mr. Parnell, in
which be crlttses Gladstone for his tardiness
in taking actlou after the verdict pfthi
divorce court lie says ho did not know ot
Gladstone's letter to Morley until after bis
re-election. Fire days before the verdict
he had seen Morley, who apparently knew
what the result wonld be, but Morley asked
him no questions. Mr. Parnell said that
he bad al along determined to do nothing
lu the dlior.ee proceedings, for the reason
that ha thought a. ilefanaa saaa aolala Iba
province, or Mrs. O'Ehea. .Tie waa wllllnffts
gd Into the witness box, bUt when she con
cluded toWate fa6 deftnse he could not
take ariy action. "
n The Dnty oft Irish-Am. rteans.
Heclenletl that (h Lnd ever authorized
Mlclfaol Davltt'or any one else to say that
he would clear away the charges at thi
trial. 1 " ;
"What Ida" you .couslder la the duty ot
Irishmen in America in this crisis!" Mr.
Parnell was'ask'ed.
"I consider,'" said Mr. Parnell earnestly,
"that );la. the duty Of Irishmen inWnirlca
at this crisis to assist me In maintaining
the integrity and Independence of the
Irish party. That integrity could not and
would not have been Impaired by any mere
alliance with the Liberal party, but mat
ters for some months pAst have progressed
further than a mere alliance.
"Something approaching to a fusion has
been and Is now taking place. This Is
what It Is necessary for me to check and
prevent."
A Charge Answered.
"What have you to say about the charge
that you did your colleagues an injustice
in concealing Mr. Gladstone's conversa
tions about home rulef"
"It was Impossible," replied Mr. Parnell,
"for me to disclose by public speech or by
private explanation the setback which the
Ilawarden communications had given to
the cause of home rule, and the perplexity
with which they had filled my mind. The
matter was still not definitely settled.
"Until all hope had been removed ot ar
riving nt a satisfactory understanding upon
these Important subjects with Mr. Glad
stone It would have been highly improper
for me In any way to have referred publicly
to the matter."
A Hopeless Split.
Mr Parnell does uot believe that the
Irish pnrty can now be reunited. The re
turn "f O'llrltui and Dillon would uot mend
matters.
I was at all times willing to compro
mise, as my arceptanco of Mr. Clancy's
amendment proves, an acceptance which
would havo Involved my retirement had
Mr.Gladstone given the assurance the Irish
party required, but these assurances were
not given, and my persecution by our party
was still persisted iu. Messrs. Dillon uud
O'Brien took sides against me from the
first, and so lost the opportunity of a suc
cessful Intervention. Their Intervention
would now be too late."
Gold Coming to America.
New YonK, Dec 10. Gold to the amount
ot 13,000,000 will start from Europe this
week for Now York." Nearly all of this
will come by the steamship Majestic, which
sails today. This gold will tend vorr
strongly to relieve the money stringency,
in this country, the extent of which was
shown yesterday, when the rates for money
advanced to one-quarter per cent, and In
terest, for no apparent cause, except fear
on the part of capitalists. On Saturday
and Monday gold to the amount of f 1,000,
000 had been ordered. Today's orders were
aa follows: Lazard Freres, $500,000: August
lielmont, (350,000; agents Bank ot Mon-t
treal, 200.000; Produce Exchange bank,'
tl,000; Kuhn, Locb & Co., $250,000; Held-
el bach, Icxelbelmerfit Co., 1 100,000. Total,
ei,4o,uuv. ii is suueu on vvau streettnat
owing to tho extreme ease of money In
London the Bank of England is willing to
lose from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 of gold In
the settlement of her trade balance, conse
qnently little fear is entertained that the
nans: s uiscount rate win oe advanced in

The Nightingale Failure.
Patkrbon, N. J., Dec 10. The liabilities
of Messrs. Nightingale Bros. Sc Knight,
silk manufacturers of this place, who
made an assignment to Judge Barkalow,
are now stated to be not less than $400.-
000, and their assets, It Is believed, amount
to only about bait that sum. The cred
itors are chiefly the firm ot J, T. Walker,
bons cc (Jo., of Mew xorx, who went un
der last month, and the National Broad
way bank. About two weeks ago the firm
called a meeting of their creditors and of
fered a settlement, upon a basis of fifty
cents on the dollar, but this was declined
and the assignment followed. The wind
up is the culmination of difficulties under
which Nightingale Bros, have labored for
the lost seven or eight years.
A lArge Shoe Failure.
Syracuse, N. Y Dec 10. G. W. Ingalls
& Co., of Boston, the shoe dealers who as
signed with $200,000 lIf$Utles, had stores

THE DELAMATER FAILURE.
About 830,000 Said to Have lleen Har
rowed Just Before the Crash Came.
MEADV1LLB. Pa.. Dec 8. No statement
of the Delamater failure will be Issued for
several days, but it is certain that about
one-half the inhabitants ot this city are
depositors. As far as can be learned the
liabilities of the firm will aggregate $500,-
uuu or more, it is tnought the deposits
will not amount to one-half this sum. but
Mr. Delamater has a good deal of paper
floating about, and In the last week he had
succeeded In putting out about $50,000, If
not more. Two days before the failure
about $30,000 was borrowed by the firm in
Philadelphia, and It is'statod that a round
sura was obtained lu Pittsburg on the
same day.
81,000,000 Was at Stake.
Philadelphia, Dec 10. A special dis
patch from a staff correspondent of The
Times, who left this city in company with
Stat Treasurer Boyer for MeadvIIle, says:
"&tate Treasurer iioyer arrived here yester
day from Philadelphia and at once went
to the office of Senator Delamater's at
torney, where he found the senator. Mr.
Boyer Informed him that he had come for
tbe purpose of learning the exact sltuutlon
of the affairs at the bank. 'That's just
wnat we are trying to nun out.' said Mr.
Delamater. 'I can't say just when a clear
and concise statement cau be made ready,
but I am anxious to have It as early as
possible.' "
The Interview lasted but two mlnntes,
and no one would have thought that $1,000,
000 pf state funds was at stake, so brief and
informal was It,
After the departure of the state treasurer
Senator Delamater said regarding the
cause ot lue laiiure:
"Some time prior to tbe election my po
litical enemies started the story that our
bauk was weak. The run continued for
ten days after tne election, and we were
just bridging over our troubles when the
crash came.
"The real cause ot the difficulty lies with
me. I had early iu the campaign to put
up $50,000 with two other men In order to
keep the Philadelphia Finance company
in condition after tbe fight ot Senator Mac
Farlaue. In addition to that I had to pay
over $10,000 ot notes which I had Indorsed
for MacFarlane, and they fell due just be
fore the election. I was also forced to
raise large sums of money to meet the de
mands on the bank from people who were
withdrawing their deposits. I want to say
to you that I did not know of the failure
until I arrived here last Friday morning'
rrora rnuaaeipma."
While the senator did not tell ot other
reasons for the failure It Is known that the
state treasurer, for weeks prior to the
bank's downfall, had made repeated re
quests ror nrst class security for tbe $100.'
000,000 which tbe Delamaters had In their
bank:. Tbe senator bad made repeated en
gagements to meet the state treasurer aud
arrange the entire matter In a satisfactory
way, but upon some pretext he always
failed to make his engagements good. It
Is stated that two more prominent l'hlla
dolphlans are out $10,000 each by the fall
ure ot Senator Delamater. who mauaired
to borrow the money just prior to the fail
ure

THE FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
The Mews of Senate and House for Ono
Week.
Washington, Dec 10. In tho house
Representative-elect Thomas J. Geary, ot
California, was sworn In, The resolution
looking to tho removal of the remains ot
Gen. Grant to Arlington was debated and
finally was defeated 93 to 153. A number
of public building bills wero passed. In
speaking against the Grant removal reso
lution Mr. Quliiu (N. Y.) said he was
surprised that the gentleman from Penn
sylvania (Mr. O'Neill) should have com
mltted himself to the furtherance ot a res
olution which he waa sure was repugnant
to tha geutleman's best feelings. There
was not uu atom of patriotism In tbe reso
lution. Geu. Grunt lay iu one ot the
grandest spot that ever hero slept In.
Complaint was made that New York had
not subscribed money enough to build a
monument. While New York was receiv
ing subscriptions for the monument the

suffering and distress at Johnstown and

ism to do nothing that was irkcly to dis
turb tbe peace of this great hero. (Ap
plause.) Mr. O'Neill (Pn.) said that gentlemen
might call this Infamy, but it they could
call the roll of the dead In Arlington there
was not one soldier who would not respond
in favor ot the measure. This was not an
interference with the family ot Gen. Grant.
To apeak ot it in that way was begging the
question. Mr. Bingham (Pa.) said that ho
would bo unjust to his state and to his as
sociates during the war if he did not pro
nounce his condemnation ot some of tho
statemcnU mndc It was true that dnrlng
the fearful days ot Gettysburg the New
York regiments bad fought gallantly, but
in doing so thoy had fought for Now York
as well as for Pennsylvania. He regretted
that the Johnstown disaster had been put
forward as a reason why New York had
not raised a great sum ot money to com
plete the Grant monument.
Mr. Cannon (111.) was In favor of placing
Gen. Grant's remains at some place where
tbe greatest number of the American peo
ple could most readily visit the last resting
place of the great commander. He believed
that Arlington was tho best place for the
remains of Gen. Grant to rest,
Mr. Fnrqnhar (N. Y.) protested against
tbe transfer of Gen. Grant's remains as a
Republican representative, as a personal
friend of Geu, Grant and family nnd as a
soldier of the republic The trouble with
tbe New York monument was that the
committee was too respectable to raise the
money. He wanted New York to recast
her committee, and If $500,000 was wanted
in twelve months that $500,000 would be
forthcoming.
The resolution was then defeated.

PRESIDENT POLK TALKS.
The Alliance Will Annihilate
Unfriendly Parties.
WHAT THE FARMERS ARE AFTER.
The Sub-Treasury Scheme Is a Popular
Oue Dealing in Futures Disapproved
Of A Third Party Inevitable Unions
Other Parties Do aa the Farmers Desire.
OCALA, Flo., Dec 0. Having reiterated
the St. Louts platform the Farmers' Alli
ance convention formulated tho demands
through which they expect to see those
privileges brought Into practice Among
the most important features of tho de
mands are the abolition of national banks,
the adoption of the sub-treasury scheme,
the prevention of dealing in futures on agri
cultural and mechanical productions and
tariff reform. The people who have been
trying to manipulate tholonvention for a
modification ot the demands to suit the
Democratic party made a hard and shrewd
fight, but early yesterday it became patent
that the delegates bad awakened to tbe fact
that there was something in the wind and
that they were defented. Tbe alliance now
stands free from party entanglements of
any kind and Is practically united.
A Third Party Inevitable.
President Polk does not believe either
ot tho old parties has attempted to shape
the policy of the alliance. He said today:
"If the Democrats In the Fifty-second con'
gress do not manifest a willingness to
grant our demands a third party is In
evitable and the southern Democratic alli
ance men will be in. They are determined
to gain the ends they are striving for nnd
they will smash any party which opposes
mem."
No Sign of Weakening.
Speaking ot the discussion today he said:
"We reiterated every one of our demands
nnd there wero only three votes against
the tluuncml plan. Tbe question was dis
cussed in every possible bearing for four
hours and there was no sign ot weakening
in the ranks.
"Yes, It is true that tht, sub-treasury plan
docs not contain the oO per cent, clause.
but It returns tbe vital principles of loans
on farm products. It Is true, too, that the
demand for tbe government of railroads Is
made conditional Instead of peremptory,
but that was by no means tho result of
Democratic Influences.
The Ulalue Story Unimportant
'I don't see much significance In the
Illnlno story. What If Rittenhouso did
call upon hlmr Hadn't he a right to If
he wunted to, and does It necessary signify
corrupt purposes on his part that he did
sof I consider that I hare a perfect right
to go to Blaine's house or to Harrison's
house to boo any public man I please."
i'rivate becrctary Ulttenbouse acknowl
edges that be called at Blaine's house.
He says he was asked to call by Col. Rich
ard Illnton, who asked him if he would
not like to be Introduced to Blaine. The
interview, however, he says, never took
place, and be has never spoken to Mr.
Blaine,
The Sub-Treasury- Scheme Discussed.
The sub-treasury scheme was discussed
at length by tbe convention. Mr. Louks,
of boutb Dakota, moved to make the sub
treasury schemo apply to all merchantable
products Instead of those relating to the
farmer alone. Mr. Perdue, of Texas, sug
gested that Louks' amendment protected
the manufacturing Interests, which were
amply able to protect themselves.
Mr. Hall, ot Missouri, made a stronc
speech against the whole scheme of amend
ment. Ilia principal objection to the sub-
treasury scheme was that it was class legis
lation of tbe most objectionable type. Congressman-elect
Jerry Sampson, of Kansas,
strongly favored the measure. Kansas
raised lost year, be said, a big corn crop,
Which was sold at less than fourteen cents
a bushel, Chicago grain gamblers raised
the price there to forty-five cents. If the
government bad protected tbe farmers as
it had other classes thef armors could have
had the forty-five cents. It would have
made a illllereuco of fWJ.000.000. Half of
this could have gone to pay mortgages and
the other to permit tbe United States farm
ers to live like human beings.
Mr. Clark, pf Texas, denied that the sub
treasury scheme was class legislation or
for tbe farmers alone. It was simply a
plan to change the method of Issuing cur
rency. A Flexible Currency Wanted.
Mr. Livingston, ot Georgia, tbe "daddy"
ot tbe scheme, as be says, objected very
strongly to the proposition to loan money
on land. The great desideratum was to
have a flexible currency which would be
governed by the law of supply and demand.
Based on land the currency would remain
fixed because land stays. Based on com
modities it would be pleuty only when
needed, because pig irou and corn come
and go. Then as soon as you make land
the basis ot currency tbe money loaners
will simply buy laud, coutrol the curroncy
and leave us as badly oft as ever.
Mr. Carskadou, of West Virginia, said
the government had no right to take his
property from one man not in fault and
try to make up the wants of others. It
you reduce the value of the currency ot tho
country you will reduce the values ot all
property to the same level.
An attempt to reconsider the action on
the " force" bill came up, but tbe motion
was tabled.
Tbe decision to hold the next meeting lu
Washington was reconsidered, and the ex
ecutive board instructed to select some
place in Indiana or Illinois. The couven.

When the firemen arrived ladders wero
thrown against the building to the third
story, and to the roof of the noxt building,
and one by ono the guests were carried
down in safety, and taken to Alderman
McKenna's office nnd to the bouses ot peo
ple on Penn avenue, opposite tho building.
A sight that filled tho spectators with
horror was a woman and two babies nt a
third story window. It was Mrs. G. W.
Moore, tho wife of the steward of tho Ho
tel Auderson. Instantly ladders were ruu
up, and she was among tho first rescued.
At the first alarm Janitor Irwin ran
down through the halls, which wero al
ready filled with smoke, to alarm the occu
pants of the rooms. He went as far as tbe
second floor, nnd then rushed back to as
sist bis wife. When he returned to his
room she was not there.
Filled with anxiety for her welfare, ho
began a search ot the building. Ho dash

Wednesday night to get warm, tho office
only having been recently painted. The
prisoners appeared before a magistrate
yesterday, two of them being dismissed
and the othor one being fined a small
amount. The arrest of an employe ot the
Baltimore and Ohio is equivalent to a dis
charge, and the other yard men struck to
