rBFECIAL TJXXGBAX TO Till DIEPi.TCH.1
New Toek, January 11. Inspector
Byrnes has recovered part of the silver
which, in the shape of two bars of bullion,
was stolen irom a truck in Washington
street, near Beach street, in the
fog on the afternoon of December 20, and he
has five men locked up at police headquar
ters who are implicated in the robbery.
On the alternoon in question John"Bark
ley & Son, truckmen, were hired by Zim
merman & Forshay to cart a large quan
tity of silver bullion to a Cunard steamer
at the foot of Clarkson street All the way
three young thieves, Edward Bock, John
Keenan, alias 2agle, and Thomas, alias
"Bed" Dugan, were watching the silver
burden, and at a time when the fog was
thick they stole behind the truck, slid off
two bars, weighing 75 pounds each, and dis
appeared with them. They took the bul
lion to "William Gilmorton's junk shop, 453
"Washington street.
SOLD IT FOB SOLDER.
The junk man thought it was solder, and
after weighing it, gave the trio $14, which
thev divided and left the place. The next
day they returned to the junk shop with a
newspaper,, and read to Gilmartin a
description of the stolen bars.
They told him they wanted the
silver value of it, ?2,200. Gilmartin was
a little dazed. He told them to give him
back his 14 and take away the stuff. They
suggested .a division of the proceeds, and he
finally recovered from his dizziness and
fell in with thenu. He gave them one1 bar
to dispose of. They took it to Hoboken,
nnd failing to sell it there returned it, and
Gilmartin again became the custodian ot
both ban, which he deposited in the safe of
a neighboring saloon.
Meantime, the young thieves became ac
quainted with Charles Seaton, alias "En
glish Charley," a well-known thie! recently
discharged irom prison. He agreed to buy
the bars. They met with Gilmartin in Sea
ton's house on Christmas Day.
A. BABOATK STETJCK.
Beaton did not want to give more than
$500 for the plunder, but after considerable
dickering consented to pav $650. saying that
the trouble he would have in cutting the J
silver up, and the risk be would have in
disposing of it, was worth the margin. The
bargain was struck; $100 was paid down and
$50 on the following day. Gilmartin got
$150, and the remainder was divided among
Bock, Keenan and Duean.
Seaton's plan for disposing of the silver,
it appears, was simple. He cat it up and
took it,in installments to the United States
Assay Office. The first lump- he
took there weighed 265 ounces, on
January 3. last Thursday he "called
to get his money, $261 50, and to leave
574 ounces more of the silver. The Assay
office works for everybody, but it reserves
the right to entertain any suspicion that
may arise.and -when Seaton called on Thurs
day, Detectives O'Brien and McCauley were
on hand and arrested him. He 'was taken
to police headquarters, and on Friday was
remanded to the Xorkville Police Court.
THE QUINTET CAGES.
The arrests were completed to-day, and
the quintet, three thieves and two receivers,
were all safely caged at the central office.
The rest of the silver has not been recovered.
It may have been sold to the United States
in other cities. The prisoners will be ar
raigned at Xorkville court in the morning.
John Barkley & Son, the truckmen, hold
ing themselves responsible tor neglect in
losing the bullion, have paid the firm in
mil us vaiue.

Sax Fbancisco, January 11. George
Maris, son of Millionaire John M. Maris,
glass manufacturer, of Philadelphia, was
found dead in his.room at thaPalace Hotel,
this morning. His case is an unusual one.
On December 26, Maris, in company with
an intimate friend, Clifford Harris, of
England, arrived from NewTork, via Cape
Horn, on the ship Elizabeth, after a journey
of 136 days. In. bidding the captain of
tbe vessel goodby, he added: "Well,
captain, we are safe at last, and
cured." Then he look his leave, and
with Harris went to the Palace Hotel.
Maris' trip to San Francisco was chiefly un-
dertaken to overcome his appetite for liquor,
and his farewell remarks to the Captain in
dicate that he thought it had served its pur
pose, for on the voyage of over four months
so intoxicant had passed his lips.
The hotel people gave orders that no
more liquor should be sent to the rooms, but
they got brandy and imbibed freely until it
became necessary to call in a physician to
attend Maris. Early this morning the doc
tor was called to the young man's roomv and
found him dead. He had no hesitation in
saying that death was caused by alcoholism.

New Xoek, January 1L The police
have not yet arrested Major William Han
cock Clark, of the Southern society, who
shot three times at Wilton Ban
dolph on the steps of the society's
clubhouse, 18 West Twenty-fifth street,
on Friday night. Mr. Bandolph says it is
ridiculous to talk of a duel, but he has pre
ferred charges against Major Clark to the
Executive Committee of the society which
are in part as follows:
"A month or two ago Mr. Clark left a
book, the autobiography of one of his ances
tors, with a note to me, with the
clerk ol the society. The note and
book were handed to me by the clerk
and after reading the note and as much of
the book as I cared to, I returned
the book to the clerk, requesting
him to thank Mr. Clark for me when
he next called. A few days afterward I met
Mr. Clark in the hall of the club and
thanked him for the loan of the book. (
"Friday evening, as I was leaving the
society, I met Mr. Clark and Captain Will
iam Johnston in tbe hall, and was accosted
br Clark. I stopped to speak to him, and
he began by asking if I had
-read the book, and I replied that Lfa&d, and
that I had acknowledged this courtesy be
fore to him, and had left the book "with the
clerk from whom I had received it. He
answered: "Did you get" the letter
accompanying it?' I replied that I
did. 'Well,', said he, in rather an
offensive tone, "Why didn't you'answer
it?" I replied that 1 did not think it re
quired an answer, and that I certainly had
no intention of treating him with discour
tesy. He replied that it was not the way of
treating a gentleman's letter.
"I turned to Clark and said: 'Now, what
is it you want with me?' I then noticed
that his hand was on his hip pocket, and I
said to him, 'Clark, I see your hand on
your hip, and I suppose it is on
a pistol. I want to tell you that I am en
tirely unarmed, bnt if yon have taken that
position thinking to intimidate me and in
sult me, it can't be done.' Then followed
more words, the blow and the shocting,
when the police came up and stopped 'pro
ceedings.' ACCIDESTS 05 THE BAIL.

a regular freight, south-bound, collided
abont a mile and a half west of Cuba
to-day. It was near a curve, and Nibe
trains came together with great force.
Both engineers and firemen jumped and
were not injured to any extent. A brake
man named Walker, on the southbound
engine, failed to jump and was caught,
having both legs cut off below the knees.
He was taken out, but no hopes are enter
tained for his recovery. The engines were
badly wrecked, also a dozen-freight cars.

to detain the father and child.
Mrs. Warren sent to Ft Brie and stated the
case. The authorities decided that the only
charge on which ihey could hold Warresrwas
for taking stolen property into the Dominion,
and that the clothes worn by the child might
come under that head. Mr. and Mrs. War

leased and retained possession of the child.

HAVEEHiXiii, MASS., January 11. The
great lockout of boot and shoe operatives,
which was to begin Monday morning, does
not now look as bright to the manufacturers
as it did this morning.
Nine of the wealthiest manufacturers had
banded themselves to resist the demands of
employes, and had pledged themselves to
forfeit' 53,000 each in case they backed out
ot the arrangement. Two firms Chick
Bros, and Messrs. Jennings, Friedman
& Stevens find themselves in a
very embarrassing position because of con
tracts made with their men. Chick Bros,
had written three-year contracts with their
men, and had signed an 'agreement to carry
out the terms of the contracts, which ran for
three years, and called for a raise of pay
with each successive year.
Jennings, Friedman & Stevens are in an
equally embarrassing fix because of verbal
contracts.

The mpst imposing ceremonies have at

husband. The Czechs and Germans in

Minister of Austria.

rssss.1
Beelht. January 11. Public attention
is concentrated to-day upon the funeral of
the Empress Augusta to the exclusion of
all other topics. The threatening news from
Spain, the progress in Austria of the Ger
man Czech Conference, all seem of little
import to the people here by comparison
with the grandiose pageant of an Imperial
funeral.
The final ceremony of the funeral was
like the other parts all planned to be a
repetition of the funeral of the Emperor
William. The religious services concluded
in the Schloss at 12:30, and amid the toll
ing of church bells the cortege moved at
once for Charlottenburg. The way was
lined by troops and by various trade guilds,
by students from the public schools, by
members of veteran societies, and so on,
and behind these thronged thousands of si
lent sympathetic spectators.
THE HIGHEST HONORS.
The ecclesiastical services, as well, as the
military pan of the scene, were a repetition
oi the honors paid to the renowned husband
of the deceased, while the throne of family
and official mourners was nearly as large
and as illustrious. The Dnke of Edinburgh
represented the Queen of England as before.
In the immediate circle of family mourners
were the King of Saxony, the Crown Prince
of Sweden, the Grand Dnke of Saxe-Weimar,
Christia of Schlesweig-Holstein, the
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelits, the
Dnke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the Prince of
Hohenzollern, the Grand Duke Francis of
Austria, Prince William of Wurtemberg,
Prince William of Wied, the Princess of
Schletweig Holstein, Saxe - Meiningine,
Saxe-Weimar, Watdeck, Pyrmont, Sonders-
hausen and others. Beside thesewere many
representatives of foraign sovereigns.
Tbe Emperor laid upon the coffin a mag
nificent palm branch, with long white silk
ribbons bearing the Imperial arms and
crown in gold. Baron Levetzow, President
of the Beichstag, laid upon the coffin, in be
half of the Beichstag, a wreath of palms,
white roses and camelias, upon the ribbons
of which was this inscription: "The Beich
stag to the First Empress Auguaca. 'Blessed
are the merciful for they shall obtain
mercy.' "
BISMABCK'S TBIBUTE.
Prince Bismarck sent a large wreath sur
rounding a cross of violets, and the Princess
Bismarck a wreath of roses and lilies ot the
valley. The Kings of Italy and Boumania
each sent exquisite tributes of flowers, as
did the sovereigns of almost all the Ger
man and foreign countries.
At the principal service on Thursday
evening the Coffin was inclosed and the

Empress lay as if sleep. The choral niece,
"JL Know that my redeemer tiveth," was
sung as the Court entered. Bev. Koegel,
Court Chaplain, in an eloquent address, re
viewed Augusta's connection with German
history during the last 60 years. He has
since inrnished to the Seiehsanzeiger a list
of special scriptnral texts of which the
Empress was particularly fond. These are
the Epistle to the Bomans xli. 12, and xiv,
7; Matthew xxviii, 20; Corinthians 3d, 9,
and others.
XO 1.11111 TO CHABtTT. .
Among many anecdotes now made public
in regard to the dead Empress is one that
has an linterest of actuality. In sending a
gift to a distressed widow she was told that
the woman's husband had been a Socialist.
and she said: ,"I do not care what the po
litical opinions ot the man were. I only
remember that he 'has left a hungry fam
ily." To-day the houses in the TJhter den Lin
den are draped with black, and the lamps
are shrouded with crape. t
It is expected that the conference of the
Bohemian, German and Czech parties will
end soon. - The delegates are reticent re
specting.the proceedings.
The Germans hold that Count Taafehas
asked them to help him solve the insoluble
problem against themselves. In Bohemia
there are 2,000,000 Germans and 3,000,000
Czechs. The Germans stand in that country
in a stronger position than the THstcrmen in
Ireland. Yet Taafe has ignored them for'10
vears and given rein to the Czechs. He now
finds that in this he has no't even pleased the
Czechs themselves; they are sot satisfied
with the repeated concessions made to them,
at the expense of the Germans) yet he now
asks the Germans to help him out of his
dilemma by making further concessions for
the sake of peace. ,
SOT GOOD POLITICS.
This they hold to be absurd politics.
They themselves only demand that in the
German speaking districts of Bohemia the
German ianguage shall be the official
tongue, and that in the districts where
there is a mixed population tbe language of
the majority shall prevail. The Germans
accuse Count Taafe of trying to make all
Bohemia a Czech country, and in conse
quence of the success' of his efforts in that
direction they say that German Imperial
patriotism is disappearing.
They assert that the German element,
which is the largest and strongest national
mass in the Empire, has been kept down
for ten years by combinations of the other
elements made against it. In the coalitions
of the national list elements there is none,
they say, which could govern Austria alone
or agree long with any other nationality ex
cept in opposition to the Germans.
The German party points out that the
Czechs, who at heart are in sympathy with
Bussia, therefore hate the Poles, yet, de
spite this, the Poles unite with them against
the Germans, who form the backbone of the
country and upon whom alone the mon
archy could rely in a crisis.
A DIFFERENCE OF OFDTIOK.
On the other hand, the Czechs dd not
contemplate the Germans as suoh innocent
and helpless victims ot persecution, and
intimate that this is not the first tbey have
heard of the exclusive virtue of that race.
They accuse the Germans of endeavoring
to eradicate from the country the Czech
language and institutions and whatever else
may stand in the wayof German domination,
and assert that tbey themselves have had
fair play in the conflict only since Count
Taafe has been in office.
i has been in office. Thev do not dis

their own language in districts occupied by
them, but they hold that Bohemia should be

Mrs. J. Ellen Foster Talk Concerning; the.
Bolt' From the W. C. T. V. Her
Personal Knowledare as to
tba Shoreham Hotel.
Chicago, January 11. Mrs, J. Ellen
Foster, president of the Iowa W. O. T. TJ.,
passed through Chicago to-day on her way
East, after having been in attendance upon
a special meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Iowa W. O. I. U., and also
the general mass convention oi the
temperance people from the entire
State. In an interview she said:
"The Iowa union, though still techni
cally auxiliary to the National Society is
not in harmony with the partisan policy of
the National TJnlon and will at the next an
nual meeting sever its auxiliaryship. The
vicissitudes of the- last Iowa election cause
some apprehension among the Prohibition
ists that the State prohibition law might be
repealed. There is, however, no responsible
ground for this apprehension. '
"The Bepublican party is pledged by
'platform and precedent to stand by the peo
ple's will as declared In the adoption of the
prohibition amendment. The election of a
Democratio Governor did not tarn on the
question of prohibition. The transportation
question and. others of a purely local char
acter determined tbe result
"The Bepublicans have still a majority in
tne .Legislature, ana i Deneve a lew demo
crats will be governed by their own temper
ance principles and the wishes of their
constituents to vote against the repeal of
the law. .The convention fust adjourned
was the largest and most enthusiastic of any
ever held in tbe State.".
"Will Senator Allison be re-eleoted?"
"He will. No man in the State is more
popular than he."
"How abont the Shoreham kept by Vice
President Morton?"
"I have always opposed and still oppose
the use of a sale of intoxicating liquors in
any place under any conditions. The finest
hotel in the State, tbe Savery House, pes
Moines, has no bar."
"What are the real facts about Morton's
hotel?"
"I have visited the Shoreham. There is
no bar. The proprietor, Mr. Keenan, did
secure a barroom license. He does furnish,
by the authority thus conferred, liquors to
his guests at their meals. He does not fur
nish liquor by the drink. I saw his appli
cation lor the license. Morton's name is not
on it."
"You consider the Shoreham then as be
ing conducted on correct temperance princi
ples?" "By no means. It is an elegant family
apartment house, and first-class in the or
dinary acceptation of the term, but it is' not
conducted on temperance .principles, and
Mr. Morton's eminent position as a Christian
gentleman and broad philanthropist clearly
illustrates how much has yet to be accom
plished before the temperance reform will
have done its work."
THEIE CLAIMS MADE.
New York And Chicago Have Their Innlne
Before the Senate .World's Fair
Committee A Keport Expected
Some TImo This Week.
Washington, Jannary lL New York
and Chicago occupied the attention of the
Senate Committee on World's Fair to-day,
and tne best aide of each ,was pointed out
in, eloquent terms. Chauncey M. Depew
was the first speaker for New York:
He asked if Americans would attend ah
exposition at any city in England but
London, or any city in France, but Paris.
So, he said. Europe would hardly exhibit
at any city but the conceded metropolis of
America New York.
Ex-Congressman Bourke Cockran fol
lowed with an effort to show that no city
could so well care for guests as New York.
Ex-Senator 'Warner Miller and James
Wood, President Of the New York State,
Agricultural Society closed the case for
great Gotham.
Mayor Cregier spoke first for Chicago,
going into an elaborate eulogy of his .town,
referring especially to wbat It had done
since tbe fire. Thomas B. Byran followed
the Mayor in a humorous address in which
he charged New York with a lack
of publio spirit E. T. ' Jeffrey at
tempted to show how Chicago
was prepared to conduct the fair. He re
ferred to Chicago's great railroad facilities,
street car conveniences, sites, hotels, excur
sion boats, etc. As to tbe objection raised
by Mr. Depew that European exhibits would
be damaged by shipment to Chicago, Mr.
Jeffrey said if New York got the show,
Chicago exhibits would have to go over the
same railroads. He ridiculed the idpo.
The conclusion of Mr. Jeffrey's remarks 1
ended tbe open public discussion of the
location of the World's Fair belore the
Senate Special Committee. Senator Hiscock
stated after the hearing closed that he
would call the committee together again
Monday morning at 11 o'clock, and he ex
pressed & hope that a report upon the
World's Fair bill would be mads to the
Senate some time next week.

Brought to tbo Surface.
LotriSTtLLE, Ky., January 11. Three
more bodies have been taken out of the
wrecked caisson to-day. The first was Mon
roe Bowling, who was lying uppermost at
tbe bottom entrance of the air shaft.
Excavating by the mud shaft
was found impracticable when tried and
the pumping air in to raise the caisson by
pressure was resumed. It was noon when
Bowling's body was sufficiently loosened to
be drawn out At 1:30 Smith's body,
which, with Thomas Sopers', was wedged in
the very entrance of the shaft, was drawn
out t .
The operation was difficult on account of
the air pressing up and closing the door or
escaping. Much air escaped while 'Smith
was being extricated, and it required an
honr more of.pumpins before Boners conl'l
be got out Thomas Ash was taken ont late
to-night The bodies will be shipped to
Henderson to-morrow.

General Greely Gives FfgareB In Proof of
Hh Conclusions.
THE BHIPTIMG OF THE GOLF 8TEEASL
Believe! Ia ty Bostonlans, Bat Sot ty the Chief
Bignal Officer.
General Greely says the present warm
weather Is not caused by any change in the
Gulf Stream's course. He denies that the
climate of either the Alantio or Pacifio
coast is changing. -The Washington hydro
graphic authorities and those in Boston do
not agree on tbe Gulf-Stream-change the
ory. israelii, TELXo&m to ma dispatch, l
Washington, January 11. The re--markably
warm winter that has been ex
perienced up to the present time in ' nearly
all parts of the United States, has caused
inquiries by the bushel to float into the of
fices of the Signal Service, the hydrographio
and meteorological divisions of the Navy
Department, and other places where the
phases of the weather are snpposed to be in
telligently studied. But So. far as can be
ascertained, these bureaus are unable to fur
nish any satisfactory explanation of tbe
phenomena.
It is safe to say that General Greely, Che
chief of the Signal Service, is ,at a loss to
account'for the unusual state ef things upon
auy basis of ordinary calculation. That is,
be cannot point to any one reason or set of
reasons that will explain the matter, al
though he can show in a thousand different
ways what are the local causes that have
brought about the very warm December.
NOT A EADICAL CHANGE.
It can be stated at the outset that General
Greely denies the proposition that has bee
come so popnlar of late, that the climate of
either the Atlantic or Pacific coast is under
going a permanent radical change. The
much mooted question of the course of the
Gulf Stream, he says, has nothing whatever
to do with the matter, as the most careful
observations and investigations of
the scientific bureaus of the
Government fail to show that
the Gulf stream is undergoing any unusual
change. The only cause that would be apt
to drive the Gulf Stream inward would be
strong sea winds for a period of time, and
the fact is-that for some time past the pre
vailing winds have been: off shore. It is
also true that in Mississippi the increase in
temperature lias been even more marked
than on the Atlantic coast
AGREE WITH GEEEIiT.
The officers of the HvdroeraDhie Bureau
of the Navy Department agree with Gen
eral Greely in the opinion on this subject
Mr. Hayden, who has ' devoted years to a
profound and conscientious study of the
subject, assured The Dispatch reporter
to-day that there is not the slightest
foundation for the claim so per
sistently put forth in some qaarters
that tbe Gulf Stream is rapidly changing
its course. Mr. Hayden says that the more
the matter is investigated the more the
fact becomes t apparent that what are re
garded as permanent changes in the Gulf
Stream are but the effect of temporary local
causes, and that some totally different rea
son must be found for tbe unusual mild
I temperature along the coast at present.
"in conversation with .a dispatch re
porter to-day, on the general subject of
climatic changes General Greely, the chief
signal oiucer siu;
NOT A NEW QUESTION.
This question of change In climato is not a
new one, it having received careful attention
in this country and Europe in past years. The
tendency of the human mind is to believe that
local conditions are general, and that several
weeks or more of very warm or cold weather
are unprecedented. In Europe the Idea
of change in climate has been promi
nently brought forward in late years,
and a number of the most distin
guished meteorological investigators have
carefnlly examined tbe subject and have
unanimously arrived at the conclusion that the
climate of .Europe is not chancing perma
nently. It may safely be said that this also ap
plies to the United States. As illustrating tbe
fact tbat excesses of temperature and rainfall
are largely local it maybe stated tbat dur
ing the present year, up to the first of Decem
ber, the following local excesses in tempera
ture have occurred.
CHANGES IN TEHPEBATTJBE.
New England, 11; Upper Lake region, 17;
extreme Northwest, Including Dakota and
Montana, 83; tba Missouri Valley, middle and
lower, 8 the north Elope of the Rocky Mount

zona and New Mexico, 10; Utah and Wyoming,

and Washington, 22r Northern Cali
fornia, 14. and Southern California,

The excesses of rainfalls have been as fol-

Atlantic States, 42X inches; Florida, nearly 4

the "Lower Lake region, 4 Inches: the Upper
Lake region, 4J4 inches: the extreme North

Missouri Valley. 8JJ inches; North Rocky
Mountain slope, 8 incnes; Utah, 3 inches; Idaho
and Wyoming, 4 inches; Oregon and Washing
ton. 10M inches. Blight deficiencies have also
occurred in the Bio Grande Valley and West
ern Texas.
CONIBASTING CONDITIONS.
"These figures show, in short," continued
General Greely, "That while California has
had an excess of rain, Oregon has a very
large deficiency. Similar contrasting con
ditions may be noted in other parts of the
country, as shOwn by the above figures."
General Greely is equally emphatic in
the belief that climatic changes are not due
to sun spots, as many people contend. The
theory has been advanced by many, he says,
that the deficiencies and excesses of tem
perature and rainfall depend upon the num
ber of spots observaoie on tne race of tbe
sun, and tbat the maximum and minimum
of temperature and rainfall occur over the
earth ss coincident periods with tbe maxima
and minimi of sun spots.
Blandford, the meteorological reporter of
India, Ueneral ureeiy says, has examined
the rainfall of that country for 22 consecu
tive years, and finally concludes that the
total rainlall of India affords no evidence
whatever that the excess or deficiency is co
incident with the sun spots.
STTN SPOTS AND DBOtTGHTS.
A similar examination was made by Gen
eral Greely regarding droughts, by which it
appears that despite the theory that the most
rainfall should come in the years of maxi
mum sun spots, some of the most severe
droughts have occurred in that year.
General Greely sums up all these observa
tions in the conclusion that the peculiar
weather conditions of the past few months
are not due to any of the causes named,
and that they are not in any way dependent
upon the sun-spots, but due to the existence
of storms passing over the country in hizh
altitudes. Their passage in the direction 1
of the Gulf of St. Lawence caused a
stendy current of air from the south and
southwest across the continent toward the
disturbed areas in Canada. The December
winds blow usually from the north and
northwest, and are much colder, of course,
than currents fro lower latitudes. Gen
eral Greely also steles, as the results of his
observations aad study, .that the weather
conditions of the United State are always
local, although during December, 1889, the
area of country having excessively high
temperatures was much greater thsa usually
occurs.
DIFFEES WITH GEN. GEEELT.
Lleateaaat Dower Thinks the Galf Stream
! Shirting-.
rsrxcux, TXLXOKJJC TO THV SISrATOlM
Boston, January 1L The Dispatch
correspondent to-day sought the Hydro
graphic office to find out something about
the Gulf Stream. Lieutenant Downer, who
'is in charge, said that he was satisfied from
the reports presented by sea captains that
the Gulf Stream had changed its course.
"We have had from several sources,"
said he, "reports of the presence
of warm water, about SO or 60 miles from the
coast. Nothing but the Gulf Stream could
thus lower the temperature of the water.
Then, too, the water in that part of the Ocean
assigned on the maps to the Gulf Stream has
suddenly become cold. That is one proof that
the stream has shifted its position. Another
proof is the presence along onr coast of gulf
weea, so caueaytnat is killed by cold water
and sinks alter floating a short time. It
has never before been found here, showing
that the stream is so near the shore that the
weed reaches here before sinking.
."It stands to reason tbat that great body
of water, warmer by 10 than the rest of
the ocean approaching the Coast, would tend
to increase the temperature. We are expe
riencing Such a change, anyway, and you
can draw your own conclusion as to the
cause."

a large estate, and is looking for her folks in
order to have things settled up.
She Is well supplied with money, and
goes about the city in a barouche. She also
claims that shejias an uncle who is a bank

Brice appealed to Allen G. Thurman to
prevent a bolt of the Senatorial nomination.
By the advice of his father young Thurman
has withdrawn from the movement, and
pledges his support. The adherents of the
rainbow-chaser are therefore onee more coufi-,
dent. Representative Smith still holds
aloof, however. Governor-elect Campbell
has arrived at the capital.
TSFXCiaif TXLIQKAM TO TBX DISPATCH. 1
Columbus, January 11. The sentiment
in favor of a bolt of the Democratic Sena
torial caucus and the defeat of Colonel
Brice has materially lessened since last
night. The pressure brought against the
three recalcitrant members has been very
strong. Democrats pouring in from all
over tbe State to attend the inaugural ex
ercises Monday, and each of them with a
pointed ridicule for the members who have
proposed to bolt the caucus, has made their
positions unenviable.
In the course of a large number of inter
views with Democrats, theynot only express
the opinion that there will be no bolt, but
denounce in strong terms men who would
contemplate such a course. Bepresentative
Munson has promised an emissary that he
will vote for Brice because he is the caucus
nominee and not because he thinks he is the
proper man for the place. While Counts
has said nothing-,. the friends of Brice be
lieve he will be all right when the time
comes to vote.
SMITH NOT '''VWTi YET.
Smith, of Franklin county, is the least
liable to vote for Brice of any oi the mem
bers. Colonel Brice and his friends were
thoroughly aroused last night. They pulled
on every line of influence to get the three
men right. Mr. Brice spent all evening
and till 2 o'clock this morning with Jndge
Thurman. t
It is supposed he wanted to get the influ
ence of Thurman with Smith, who is an old
neighbor. Mr. Brice was also with Judge
Thurman this afternoon. It is well known
here tbat Allen "W. Thurman has had a
deal to do with the preliminary work of or
ganizing the proposed bolt. He boasted of
the tact with much pride yesterday.
He was seen to-day. and after explaining
his part in trying to keep Democratio mem
bers out of the caucus, said: "I have Just
had a long talk with my father on the sub
ject, and he has led me to believe that my
course in so doing is wrong. I am one of
those who readily yield when convinced I
am wrong. I sincerely desire that those who
remained away from the caucus should 'at
tend the joint session and vote for Brice, as
they should."
MAKT CONGRATULATIONS.
Colonel Brice has received numerous con
gratulatory messages. Edgar M. Johnson,
New York, and John G. Prather, member
National Democratic Committee oi Mis
souri, wired their congratulations. B. B.
Milliken, of Hamilton, sent "hearty con
gratulations." Among those who paid their
respects were the following: Elliott H. Pen
dleton, Cincinnati, who said: "The Demo
cratic party will be well and truly repre
sented, and the Senate soon see you are there
for business and to further the best interests
of the people." George Donnenworth "and
2,000 Democrats," Bucyrus, said: "Accept
congratulations. Court House bell ringing,
etc"
A. P. Gorman. Washington: "Congratu
lations. Your nomination is more than a
personal compliment. It is the just recog
nition of splendid services rendered to the
Democracy." D. McConvilie, Washington,
sent his "best wishes." J. J. Richardson,
member National Committee, Iowa:
"Hearty congratulations. A national vic
tory has been won." O. J. Canda, Treas
urer National Democratic Committee:
"Accept my hearty congratulations. Your
election gives me genuine pleasure." Ben
Lefevre, New York: "The next Senator
from Ohio will be an honor to the State and
country. Accept my heartiest congratula
tions." Governor-elect Campbell, with the mem
bers of his family, except Mrs. Camnbell,,
arrived this evening. Governor Fqraker is
preparing to remove to Cincinnati. He has
his househol d goods packed.

Last evening the rooms of the Bandall
Club presented a very animated appearance.
The house was crowded with members
making their final arrangements for the
Columbus trip to-night, Ed Smith, if tbe
Baltimore and Ohio, was kept busy in the
hall furnishing the necessary tickets for
transportation, sleeping berths and meals,
while a represen tative of a prominent hat
store held forth in the dining room handing
out as required "from a large pile of boxes"
the regulation .Randall hat In sizes to suit
all comers.
The committee in charge oi the "buffet"
were, surrounded by hampers and baskets
that spoke strongly of the good things, eata
ble and otherwise, that were in store for the
Incky travelers. Hustle and-hnatle was the
order of the night, and yet everything was
moving in the usual thorough, systematic
and business-like manner tbat character
izes all the undertakings of this clnb. The
club will turn out upward of 200 men,
headed, by the Great Western Band of 80
pieces. That thev will hold their end np at
Columbus in a manner worthy of the organ
ization and the city from which they hail
goes without saying.
President Weival announced that Mr.
Ed, Smith and his assistant, Mr. C. E.
Gregory, of the Baltimore and Ohio Bail
road, would be in attendance at the club
house to-day irom 1 to 9 o'clock ?. m. to

p General Guthrie, who will act as marshal
for the occasion, announces the route oi
march as follows: From the club house
down Sixth avenue to Liberty to Market to

Ohio depot. The line of march will be
taken up at 9 o'clock 7. M. prompt.
While in Columbus the club will bdthe

A Fire In Sobo Last Evening Causes a Low
of Nearly 813,000.
The planing mill and box factory owned
by S. ju. Nelson, and located on Second ave
nue, Soho, near the car stables, was entirely
consumed by fire last night, entailing a loss
of about $12,000. The fire was first dis
covered about 820 o'clock and an alarm
turned in. irom box 92. Tbe building being
frame and two-stories high was a sort of
tinder box.
When the firemen reached the scene the
fire was raging fiercely, and Assistant Chief .;
Steel turned ia a second alarm. The ds-i
partment made a noble effort to save part of
the building, but their efforts proved fruit
less. They succeeded, however, In con
fining the flames to the one structure, and it '
was totally consumed, with its entire con
tents. The second avenue car stables were
in great danger for a time and were on first
from the heat, but the blaze was soon put
out.
Mr. Nelson stated last night that the
building and machinery was owned by W.
J. Bichey, from whom it was leased. The
loss on these would amount to $5,000 on ma
chinery, $4,000 on the building, on which
there was an insurance of about $3,000, but
in what company he could not state. Mr.
Nelson's loss was about $3,500 -worth of
lumber on which there was no insurance.
John Dykeman occupied a small portion
of the building as a cabinet shop, but hit
loss was small.
Mr. Nelson qould not account for the
origin of the fire, stating that the fires under
the boilers had been put out at' noon on
Saturday, and he knew of no other fire la
the building.
James McQuaid and Harry Mathews
were arrested for interfering with the fire
men, and were locked up in the Fourteenth
ward station.
LEGAL LIQUOR I0EE.
Dispensers of the Ardent Are Getting the
Law Down.
Two judges may sit to hear license appli
cations, and Judge Magee is likely to be
one. While their Honors say but little, it
is evident that they regard the license court
as more or less of a bore. Again, one Judge
does not like the responsibility resting on
him and likes company, but the business of
the courts is beginning to accumulate, and
all will probably find enough to do to dis
patch it promptly without having liquor
license to retard. Judge Magee states that
he has not been off the bench a single day
since early in September, except holidays.
A wrinkle that seems to grow in popu
larity the older it gets Is an application for
both wholesale and retail license by the
same person. As the Supreme Court has
stated that it is mandatory on the lower
courts to grant wholesale license where legal
requirements are complied with, many ap
plicants think it will do them no harm to
apply for both kinds of license. As stated
some weeks ago there will be a general ap
plication for wholesale Ijcense where appli
cants can fill the legal requirements, and if
a retail license application shall also go
through it will suit the majority of appli
cants much better than the other and they
will willingly pay for both.
