The death of Congressman Laird, of
Nebraska, has caused considerable political
speculation. Every precaution will be
taken to secure the return of a Republican
successor. President Harrison remains firm
in his purpose of calling an extra session.
iETECUX. TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCH.1
"Washington, August 17. The death of
FeprcseaU tire Laird, of Nebraska, an
nounced to-day, emphasizes the gravity of
the situation in the body of -which Mr.
Laird was a member, and the slight ma
jority which the Republicans will have for
the purpose of organization is discussed
this evening more than ever before. "While
the Second Nebraska district is considered
surely Republican, there is always a chance
for defeat, and the Democrats are already
canvassing the possibilities.
Republicans arc little alarmed, however,
as they have great confidence that the man
agement of Quay and Clarkson, of the
National Committee, will prevent any re
duction of the majority injthe Bouse by tbe
loss of a district which naturally belongs to
the party. They will insist on the sinking
of personal ambitions and factional quar
rels, and the nomination of the most popu
lar candidate available, that there may be
no doubt ot the result on the ground of a
weak selection.
The death of Mr. Laird was announced at
the White House shortly before the depart
ure of the President for Deer Park, and was
asnbjcct of conversation. The President
intimated that, while the election of a Re
publican to succeed the dead Congressman
would really strengthen the Republican
majority, as one would doubtless be elected
about whose ability to attend the sessions of
the House there would be no question, that
result would not do away wit ft the argu
ment advanced in favor of a called session,
and he said that he had almost fully de
cided to call such a session in the interests
of an early organization, and added that the
extra session would probably be called
about the middle of October.
TRUSTED TO TDEIE HOKOE.
That Was tbe Trouble In tbe Case of the
Black Diamond.
"Washihgton, August 17. Although
the report upon the seizure and escape of
tbe British sealer Black Diamond has not
been made public at the Treasury Deport
ment, it is learned from the officials that it
does not show that the officers and crew of
the seized vessel were under parole to pro
ceed to Sitka. "While it was within the au
thority ot the Captain of the revenue cutter
io place in irons everv man on the .lilacs
Diamond, and send her to San Prancisco
with a powerful prize crew, such a course
was not regarded as necessary.
In cases occurring in former years seized
vessels have gone sately to port, the officers
having sufficient respect for the law, as em
bodied in the presence of one representative
of the revenue service, to refrain from any
attempt to escape. Meanwhile, it is said at
the Treasury, that the revenue marine
officers will continue to seize vessels encaged
in taking seal illegally, leaving to the State
Department the adjustment of any inter
national questions which may arise.
C1TIL SERVICE CHANGES.
Some Radical Amendment! to bo Made to
the Present Rnles.
"Washikotojt, August 17. Civil Service
Commissioners Lyman and Thompson had
an interview with the President to-day in
regard to certain contemplated changes in
the civil service rules. Commissioner Lyman
presented to the President a rough draft of
tbe contemplated amendments, and, together
with Mr. Thompson, discussed with the
President the probable effect of the pro
posed changes and tbe reasons that induced
tbe commission to recommend them.
The President is understood to favor the
changes, and as soon as they can be properly
formulated the amendments will be sent to
him at Deer Park. It is believed that one
of the rules as amended will place all chiefs
of divisions within the classified service,
and thas provide that when changes occur
in these positions they shall be filled by cer
tification from the commission.
TEE CHEROKEE LANDS.
' Work of tbe Commission Una Been Sus
pended for tbe Present.
Washington, August 17. General Lu
cius Pairchild, a member of theTJherokee
'Commission, arrived in 'Washington this
morning from the Indian Territory en route
tohishouie in Wisconsin, the negotiations
with the Cherokees having been suspended
by the commission until after the new
Cherokee Council recently elected meets to
consider pending propositions. 'The com
mission will not meet again until Novem
ber next. The negotiations will then be
resumed, with a fair prospect of success.
General Pairchild is preparing a report of
rtheworkof the commission to date, which
will be filed with tbe Secretary of the In
terior within the next few days.
OFF TO DEER PARK.
Tbe President Sees No visitors nnd Leaves
for tbe Mountains.
H"Vashington, August 17 President
Harrison haw no general callers to-day,
his time in the forenoon being given up to
consultation with the Cabinet officers,
now in the city and a few other prominent
officials. After dinner he prepared for his
trip, and at 2:37, in company with his pri
vate secretary, was driven to the station.
Here he joined Mrs. Harrison, who had just
returned from Nantucket, and they pro
ceeded on to Deer Park.
Probably on Tuesday next the President
will go to Indianapolis, but his visit will
not last longer than the end of the week and
he will return to Deer Park, where he will
remain until the middle or latter part of
September. '
Indians OfTTnelr Reservation.
"Washington, August 17. Acting In
dian Commissioner Belt has telegraphed the
agents at Ouray and Uintah reservations in
Utah asking for information as to the report
that the Ute Indians are off their reserva
tion. The Indian office has not yet re
ceived any information other than that
contained in the newspaper reports.
To Go to tbe Encnmpment.
Washington, August 17. Permission
to attend the National Encampment of the
G. A. R. at Milwaukee, August 26 to 31,
has been granted such employes of the 'War
Department as are members of the organi
zation. A Temporary Secretary of War.

THE BOOKS CLOSED.
No More Money to be Paid Out at Johns
town far the Present A Railroad
Brldfe Give War Tbe
Drinking Oldat be
Suppressed.
tEriCUi TELIGKAJC TO THI DISPATCH.!
Johnstown, August 17. Unless it is a
case where a person is in absolute want, no
more money will be paid out until the final
distribution is made. This decision Secre
tary Kremer made several days ago, and
to-night the account was closed. It
has been a little over a month since the
commission began the distribution of
money, and since that time about $100,000
have been paid out. As there is about
$1,800,000 yet in the hands vf the commis
sion, it will be seen that un
less the work is pushed much
more rapidly that it will be a long time be
fore it is all paid out. While it is not likely
that it will require proportionate time to
complete the work, those who arc familiar
with tbe methods in vogue think it will bo
a month more at the least before the money
is paid out.
The bridce across the Conemaugh river
near the Pennsylvania Railroad station
gave way to-day, and a force of men was
put to work to brace it up. None of the
bridges are permanent as yet, and no steps
are being taken to have good ones erected.
Although most of its tenements were situ
ated on Prospect and on the hillside in Cone
maueh borough, the Cambria Iron Company
lost 1S6 dwelling houses by the flood. There
will be a special term of court, beginning
next Monday, and Judge Johnston has been'
importuned very strongly to take some
measures to prevent so much drinking.
To-day was payday and to-night the streets
and dark places are full of drunken, boister
ous fellows. It is absolutely unsafe for a
lady to be out after night, and in many
places it is dangerous for anyone to attemp't
to pass.
TWO BIG EXCURSIONS.
The Allegheny Taller and I.nko Erie Take
Crowds to Nlncara Falls.
The excursion on the Allegheny Valley
ta Niagara Palls last night was a very large
one. More than 500 people went, though
from the way the crowd pushed and
scrambled to get on the train the average
person would think there was more than
1,000. The train contained seven sleepers
beside the coaches. General Passenger
Agent James Anderson accompanied 'the
excursionists.
Tbe Lake Erie rood also had a big ex
cursion last night to Niagara Palls from the
Beaver Valley. It is seldom a road runs an
excursion for country fold only, but the
crowd that went shows the wisdom of Gen
eral Passenger Agent A. E. Clark.
PROFIT IN SODA WATER.
The Easiness Require a Small Outlay and
Yield. Big Gain.
"It is surprising," said a Pittsburg drug
gist, "how much profit there is in the soda
water business. Even with the purest of
flavors 100 per cent can be made, hut the
rate of increase is much higher than this, in
some cases as much as 1,500 per cent, where
the druggist has little regard for the tastes
and stomachs of his patrons, and is out for
the stuff.
"The ordinary Saratoga waters can be
bought for $5 pe"r barrel, but frequently the
water is made from the salts. This is true
generally of vichy. There is only one
vichy spring in the world, and that is in

FOE BARRATRY.
Inspector Whttebonso Arrested Levrta
Bates on This Charge. '
Inspector Whitehouse yesterday arrested
Lewis Bates on a charge of barratry. Bates
was formerly the Constable for Alderman
Donghty, but of late he has been working
for Alderman McNeirny, of the Eighteenth
ward. He is accused of having been con
nected with tbe Bander gang.
A portion of the evidence against Bates,
held by Inspector "Whitehouse, isja receipt
signed by Bates for $20, received by Bates
for the settlement of a suit against Phila
mena Hammerly, Penn avenue, and Thirty
ninth street, for selling liquor without a
license. Bates was committed to jail in
default of 1,000 bail for a hearing on
Monday.
A CHILD SCALDED.
Second Serlons Accident of lis Kind In a
6ins!e Family.
A 2-year-old child of Michael Mclntyre,
at No. 712 Pifth avenue, was seriously
scalded yesterday afternoon. A pan of hot
water had been left standing on a table, and
the child overturned it. The child's shoul
ders, head and arms were burned so severely
that its condition is critical. Another child
belonging to Mr. Mclntyre was burned to
death about a year ago.

CHICAGO, August 17. The photograph

the man under arrest there on suspicion of
being Taseott, the murderer of Millionaire
Snell, of this city, has been received. The
Texas prisoner is not Taseott. The picture
does not at all resemble him.

"THE
A SOUTHERN COMBAT.
The Chairman of the Plorida Demo
cratic State Committee
HAS CHALLENGED SENATOR CALL
In Answer to Some Remarks Eecently Made
by That Gentleman.
THE ORDINARY SECONDS NOT NEEDED
Under the Coalitions of the Straggle as They Are
How Stated.
W, D. Chipley, Chairman of the Demo
cratic Committee of Florida, has challenged
Senator Call, of that State. The dispute is
of a political nature. Tongues, and not
pistols, will be the weapons used.
Jacksonville, Fle., August 17. Sen-,
ator Call several weeks aeo, in a letter pub
lished in the Timet-Union, challenged
those persons opposing his re-election to
meet him in every county of the State and
discuss the charges which have been made
against him by tbe public press. The
Timet- Union will publish to-morrow an ac
ceptance of this challenge by "W. D. Chip
ley, of Pensacola, Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee, and a well-known
business man. The letter Is as follows:
Pensacola, Fla., August 14, 1889.
Hon. W. CsU, Washington U. C:
Dear Sib My attention has been attracted
by a discussion in tbe public press In which
you challenge your "detainers" to meet you
and discuss the charges made against you be
fore the people In every county in the State,
I have not favored this discussion at tnia time,
not that I did not
BELIEVE THE CHABGES,
but because I considered tbe time Inopportune.
It is, therefore, with some surprise that I learn
that you do not besltateln conversation to con
nect my name with these newspaper assaults,
and your friends repeatwbat you say. and some
of the newspapers favorable to your re-election
mention my name outright, though you hare
not been frank enough to announce tbe names
of your alleged "detainers' in as public a man
ner as you have made tbe charge of defama
tion of your character.
In view of this fact, I am impelled to say to
you that I will accept your challenge and will
meet you before the people. You will recall
that I wrote you years ago over my signature
my opinion of your course. I have never since
then found it necessary to mask behind any
public journal on that subject.
I will meet you, not as your defamer. but in
tne interest of truth, tbe Bute of Florida and
the prosperity of our people, and to show to
them your utter incapacity to nil or else your
willful disregard of tbe duties of tbe highposi
tlon you hold at tbe hands of tbe people of the
State.
I respectfully propose the following condi
tions. .THE PEOSPECT AHEAD.
First I will formulate the charges at each
meeting in not exceeding 1 bour and 15 min
utes, you to reply in not exceeding 1 hour and
45 minutes, and I to have 15 minutes for my re-
joinaer. n o introduction to exceed a minutes.
Second There tball be 50 meetings in the4
State not less than one in each county at
points to be fixed later between us.
Third These meetings to commence on firs
Tuesday in March, 1890, and continue till tbe
finish. It would be useless and senseless to,,
discuss the issues of next year's campaign at
an earlier date. Either party who anandons'
the contest before its conclusion will thereby'
acknowledge bis defeat. '
Fourth As tbe discussion is a matter relat
ing solely to your official course, it must be
understood that it shall not lead to any discord'-
in tbe party, whose harmony is of far greater
importance than any private interest. Neither
shall it give us any claim upon the party"
organization, but at each meeting we .shall dla-.
cbarce all expenses equally between us.
Fifth I will cheerfully join you in a request'
to roe Bcaie press u suspend discussion until
February next, the month preceding the com-
mencement of the proposed discussion.
I will mall yon a copy of this acceptance and
at the same time will c;lve it puolicity throush
tbe same medium by which yonr challenge
reached me; to wit, tbe State press.
Bespectfully,
w.n.

A Popular Demand Prevent a Vacation of
Even One Week.
Owing to a popular demand, Charles Pat

Tnesday and Wednesday "Ten Night

balance of the week the company will ap

that the company gave entire satisfaction

Many were unable to obtain seats, and
the extension of the engagement became a
matter of necessity to satisfy the patrons of
Manager Harris' popular theater.
1 CORNER IN DIAMONDS.
American Jewelers Take X Stock In the
Reported Combination.
New Yoek, August 17. The rumor of
a corner in diamonds, reported from Lon
don, was generally discredited among the
leading jewelers to-day. One oi the most
prominent merchants said that it was im
possible to make a corner, as the capitalists
owned only the big diamond mines, while
the smaller mines,producing equally as good
stones, would sell at a fair price; and force
the big concerns on to the market. The
slight increase in prices is attributed to the
fact that nearly all the fine gems have been
sent to the Paris Exposition.

Ho Does Not Think Bel Gallty ofLlbellng
Schuyler Crosby.
New Yoek, August 17. The papers in
the suit of John S. Crosby against Bussell
Harrison, which was transferred from the
Supreme Court, were received by Clerk
Shields, of the United States Circuit Court,
to-day.
Accompanying them is an answer by
William A. Sweetxer, counsel for Mr. Har
rison, in which he makes a general denial
of the charge of libel. He adds: "For a
further separate and distinct defense and
answer the defendant alleges that the Mon
tana Live Stock Journal is a newspaper pub
lished and owned by the Journal Publish
ing Company, and the defendant .had no
control or connection with matter appearing
in the columns of that paper.
TERRIBLE DESTITUTION.
The Family of a Paper Hancer Actually Dy.
Ingot Starvation. '
East Saginaw, Mich., August 17. A
terribly distressing case of destitution has
just been brought to the notice of the Sagi
naw authorities. James M. Smith, paper
hanger, is dying of consumption, and he, to
gether with his wife and seven children, the
eldest under 14 years of age, are actu
ally starving. All the children are down
with whooping cough.
He died last week and the mother buried
the remains In the side yard, having no
money to purchase a coffin. Neighbors
claim they did not know affairs were so bad.
AM ANATOMICAL WONDER.
A Man Whose Heart Is on tbe Right Bide of
His Body.
Samsbubt, Md., August 17. Mr. Z. Pritch.
ett, of Lake's district, Dorchester county, is a
rare specimen of humanity in his anatomical
construction, lie is suffering with pulmonary
diseases, and on tbe recommendation ot Dr.
Jones, his home physician, came to Ballsbury
this week to be examined by Dr. John 8. Ful
ton. During the physical examination Dr.
Fulton accidently discovered that the man's
heart was located on tbe right side of his body.
Thisgreatly interested the doctor, but as bis
patient did not consult him on this point, be
did not feel at liberty to make a minute inves
tigation. It was not, therefore, ascertained
whether the other vital organs wero transposed.
The case is one of peculiar interest to the pro.
f ession, since it is so rare that less than 200 such
cases are on record.
