SOME ILIiUSTfilOUS LADIES ATTEND
New York, Dec 23. The Tariff Reform
Club held a grand banquet to-night in the
new concert hall of the Madison Square
Garden, to celebrate the recent Democratic
victories. The attendance, not only of
banqueters, but also ot onlookers, was very
large, covers for 500 being laid, while the
galleries were filled with a brilliant array of
people, of whom ladies made a prominent
part
At the Speaker's table, on either side of
Chairman Everett 1. Wheeler, sat Presi
dent Cleveland and John G. Carlisle, of
Kentucky. Anon; the other gentlemen at
this table were Governor Horace Boies, ol
Iowa; the Governor-elect of Massachusetts;
Congressman Wilson, of West Virginia;
Hon. Carl Sohurz, W. 17. Hansel, of Peun-M-lvania;
Horace White, Judge Wilson, of
Minnesota; Thomas L. Johnson, of Ohio;
William Steinway and Luzon B. Morris.
An Array of Illustrious Guests.
At other tables were Henry Villard,
Daniel Laniout, Senator Price, W. B.
Hornblower, George Hoadley and W. U
Trenliolm.
. At about S:30 o'clock Mrs. Grover Cleve
land, accompanied by Mrs. John G. Car
lisle and other ladies, entered one of the
boxes in the first gailery. Mrs. Cleveland's
appearance was the signal for every man at
the tables to rise to his feet, and, amid a
waving of liaudkerchicfs, Mrs. Cleveland
was given three cheers, which compliment
she acknowledged by rising and bowing.
When the feasting was finished Chairman
Wheeler, in a brief speech, introduced ex
President Cleveland as the first speaker of
the evening. Mr. Cleveland spoke in part
as follows :
I am at all times willing that the Democratic
party thould be enlarged: and a-tending in
that direction. I am willing to accept and ac-.
Jcnovvlcdge in cood faith liuncst help from any
Quarter uncn a struggle is penamg for the
fup-emacy ol Democratic principles. Indeed,
I have an idea that in the campaign of educa
tion it as deemed important to appeal to the
reastm and judgment of the American people
to the end that the Democratic party should be
reinforced as ue',1 as that the activity and zeal
it those alreadv in our ranks should be stimu
lated. The Campaign of Education.
If this be treason in the sight of those who,
clothed in the Democratic uniform, would be
plad to stand at the entrance of our camp and
drive tiacfc recruits, I cannot help it. I bare
come here to-night, among other things, to re
joice in the numerous accessions vie have re
ceived in aid of Democratic endeavor and to
give credit wherever it is due for the work of
conversion.
The grand and ultimato object of the cam
paign of education uas tho promotion of the
wellare of the country aud the relief of the
people iroDi unjust burden. In afd of this
por"1 and, of cour.c. subordinate and acces
sor to us accompl'shnient. it rtccame neccs
sarv tirst of all to arouse the Democratic or
gauizatlon to an apprehension of the fact th.it
the campaign involved a Democratic principle
in the advocacy of which the party should be
active and aggiessivc.
Let it be here conlessed that we as a party
had, ill these latter days, been tempted by the
turcesscs our opponents had gained solely by
temporary shifts and by appeals to prejudice
and sclhs-h interests, into paths which avoided
too much the honest insistence upon definilo
and clcai ly denned principle and fundamental
Democratic doctrine.
Democrats Weak iu the l'aitli.
To be sure, some earnest men in the party
could hut ill conceal their dissatisfaction with
the maimer m which cardinal principles were
relegated to the rear and expediency substi
tuted as the hone of success; but the timid, the
needless aud those who, ihough nominally be
longing to the organization, were not of the
faith, constantly rendered ineffective all at
tempts to rr store the party to the hrm and
solid ground of Democratic creed.
If ;hes- things are confessed, let it also be
conceded that when the time came and the
cuts "fa suffering people were heard, and
v. hen for tlicir relict a genuine Democratic
remedy was proposed, the party easily recog
nized its uutt aud gave proof of its unconquer
able Dunorraiic instincts As soon as the
campaign ot cilucitinn was inaugurated, the
part was quirkly marshaled as of the olden
liruc, aggress. ve. courageous, devoted to its
cause and heedless of discouragement or de
feat. D-y by day and hour bv hour expediency
and time crvmg were thrown to the winds.
Traitors were silenced, camp followers fell
away or joined the scurvy hand or floaters,
while the sturdy Democratic hoit confidently
pressed on beanugaloit the banner of tariff
reform.
Republican Exultation Over Reform.
I am afraid, however that if this task may
be considered a step iu the campaign of educa
tion, the word education, as applied to those
whoweretobe affected, mast be construed as
meaning the instillation of such fear and terror
in the minds of unrcgenerate men as leads
tu flee from the wrath to come.
Hut even in this unpromising field we are able
to n-po'-t progress. No one who remembers the
hilarity with v. hicli the leaders of the Reuubli-
an party greeted the message of tariff relorm.
mid the confidence with w bich they prepared to
meet and crush the issue presented, can fail to
ne how useful a lesson has been taught tbem
in our campaign or education.
Within il hours after the submission to Con
gress of the question ot tariff reform, sundry
benators and Representatives belonging to trie
K.'pulihcan party were repotted to have
jauntily ventilated their partisan exultation in
the public press.
As our campaign proceeded other unusual
symptoms have been apparent among those
prominent m directing t e opposition. Home
oftheiu have become insuboruiuate and dis
contented, and at times actually disobedient to
part orders.
Itlaine Out in a Life Boat.
One shrewd and weather-wise navigator has
clambeifd off, and. in a frail bark, with the
word "Reciprocity"' painted on its stern, was
last seii hovenns near, prepared to climb
aboard again, or sail away, as wind and wave
would appear to make most safe. At the pres
ent stacc ot the campaign the unwieldly party
hulk oi IJonrbon Republicanism is still afloat,
but damaged ana Uidlv leaking. On board,
some ar" still working at the pumps against the
awful odds or openiug seams: many, mutinous
and discontented, short of provisions and of
prog, are loudly aud angrily disputing as to
-abetherbad seamanship or overloading is the
cause of their wretched plight, while accusa
tions of guilty responsibility arc heard on every
Fide. 11, Irom the turbulence, there shall
emerge any who actuallypriclrcd in conscience,
desire a better life, thej will be gladly wel
comed. Of course, we do not overlook the fact that
before their present predicament was reached,
and in their tirst battle with u. the enemy
gained a victory over tariff reform, This is
confessed; and we may here onlv refer to the
methods by which that victory wis gained for
the purpose of saing that we thorou-hly un
derstand them, and tint if the beneficiaries of
tl'ose methods are satisfied with the condition
thev have wrought, we also arc not without
conipeir tion.
An Appeal Tor the Educational rian.
Let us not Tail to realize the fact that our
work is not done. Our enemies are still alive
anil grown desperate. Hnman selfishness is
net easily overcome and the hope of private
cain at the expense of the masses of our people
is not yet abandoned. It would, be shameful,
and a piuble disgrace, if by over-confidence,
we should lose the ground we have gained, or
If wo should fail to push further our advantage.
The result of our labor thus far is. indeed, a
fi-nal tribute to the judgment of the American
people." in full faith in this judgment our
work should continue upon the lines thU3 far
followed until the enemies of tariff reform are
driven from their last intrenchment.
In the years to come, when we look back
with patriotic satisfaction upon our participa
tion in the glorious struggle for tariff reform
and recall its happy termination, it will delight
us to remember every incident of discourage
ment as well as of triumph in the people's
cause. Then, when we are asked to speak of
our proudest political endeavor and to give tho
best illustration of American intelligence and
to pay the highest tribnte to the judgment of
the American people, we will rehearse the his
tory and the grand results "The campaign of
education."
Other Orators of the Evening.
Another speaker was Hon. William I
Wilson, of West Virginia, who said, among
other things:
If the blundering of a Congress is to be
measured by the force and the sweep of tho
condemnation it has provoked, Mr. Reed's Con
gress has not only surpassed Mr. Keifer's Con
gress, but has achieved for itself a prominence
in blundering unapproached by any of its 50
predecessors, and if recent political experi
ence proves anything, it teaches that
the Democratic party never blunders more
fatally than when it abandons or
palters with its true principle, 'and that it never
appeals so strongly to the heart of the masses
orto the enthusiasm of the young as when it
goes before them in the strength of these prin
ciples alone. On the other hand, tho Republi
can party, as dominated to-day, never blunders
so effectively as when it has free scope and op
portunity for the application ot its principles,
never meets with 'such crushing 'repudiation
from the people as when it discloses to them
its true politics ami methods. The Fifty-second
Congress will enter upon its labors with
one lesson that none of its members can mis
take, and that lesson is that its shortest road
to irretrievable bankruptcy will bo to follow
the footsteps of its predecessors.
Tariff Reform in the Northwest.
Governor Boies, of Iowa, addressed the
guests in response to the toast, "Our New
Allies in the Northwest; What Our Farm
ers Have a Bight to Demand." Speeches
followed from Congressman-elect T. L.
Johnson, ot Cleveland, and several others.
Mr. Carlisle said he would venture to say
a few words on the subject of popular gov
ernment. He said the republican, or rep
resentative government, was a thing that
was well understood. There is a large body
of people, moreover, who believe in the es
tablishment of a great' central power. But
popular government in its purest and simplest
form is to be found only in the
several States. It'is no cvideuce of hostility
to the general Government to say that it is
not a& popular as the State Governments.
It has an important function to perform, and
its powers are as well distribnted as human
power and forethought could design. In the
States it is different. There the Legislature
is chosen from men by the people, and are
personally known to them. Real, genuine,
effective popular government in this country
is found onlv in the States.
IN KEAN'S DEFENSE.
MIES FRANCES WILLABD PLIES TO THE
BAHKEE'S AID.
She Intimates That the Saloon Interest is
Hack of the Attacks Upon the Ruined
Ranker, and Upbraids Christian People
for Their Coldness.
Chicago, Dec. 23. A remarkable let
ter will be published here to-niorrovr from
Frances E. Willard, President of the
National AVoman's Christian Temperance
Union, regarding the circumstances attach
ing to the disastrous failur: of the bankers
of the organization, S. A. Kean & Co., of
which the following is an extract:
For days I have waited to see some leader in
the pulpit or pewleap into the arena of public
controversy in defense of A. S. Kean. His 30
years of clean life and helpful service in Chi
cago home missionary work. Young Men's
Christian Association work, Sunday school and
temperance work, his simple, plain "Way of liv
ing, bis continuous honorable connection in the
most prominent way with a bank as widely
known as auy in Chicago, seemed to mo fac
tors worth recounting in the present erisK
Thirty eara of good behavior aud brotherly
helpfulness ought to count for some
thing among one's fellow men;
and not to have failed before in
all the financial crises of Chicago and the
country at large should surely count for some
thing. "Although lam painea beyond expres
sion by the silence o( the good, it Is then true
that the world's people stand by each other
better than do members nl the household of
faith. II "Mike" McDonald had been so uni
versally assailed, would there have been so
few voices raised in his behalf T
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union
and its affiliated intrre its have had Mr. Kean
for banker during several recent year-. He is
a loading Prohibitionist, a representative Meth
odist layman. Who knows what hatred of the
temperance cause may be back of all this
what blow aimed at an organized movement
against the liquor traffi :7
Happily we nave never had much money to
deposit at any one time, and. so far as I know,
1.000 will replace tho losses of the Woman's
Christian Temperan e Union, and $3,000 those
of the Temple, while tho Woman's Temper
ance Publishing House receives every day
nearly half as much as it bad on dopost: witli
Mr. Kean. But I know by my correspondence
that the press of the country understand that
an appalling calamity has overtaken the White
Ribbon movement. Possibly '"the wish is
father to the thought."
Iberois joy in heaven oyer one sinner that
repeutctb. There is doubtless joy in hades
oyer one saint that falls. Beyond a perad
venture there is rejoicing in every grogshop
of the city when the temperance cause, or any
of its advocates, is overtaken by misfortune,
seeming or real.
WATTEES0H DIDH'T BITE.
Duval, the Baltimore Baby Sharper, Missed
One Rig Game.
Louisville, Dec 23. Duval, the Balti
more sharper, who has just bunkoed several
United States Senators through the medium
of a bogus baby, did not limit himself to the
Congressional field, but has been operating
on an extensive scale. About six weeks
ago Henry Watterson received a letter from
him, overflowing with fulsome compliment,
stating he had named his first born Henry
Watterson Duval, inclosing a richly en
graved baptismal certificate and five tickets
to a church entertainment, marked $1 each,
but Mr. Watterson did not bite.
Being interviewed to-day, be said: "The
first thing that arrested my attention was
the postmark. It did not impress me that
Baltimore was just the locality where I
might expect a namesake. Then the bap
tismal certificate was too elaborat? and cir
cumstantial. It looked like a gratuitous
offerof excessive proof. Finally the indi
rect demaud through the tickets seemed con
clusive, and I threw the big envelope and
its contents into the waste basket, satis-fled
that it was a very original trick of a very
clever confidence man."
TH0TJSAKDS OUT OF JOBS.
The New Harvester Trust Will Dispense
. AVitli Many Employes.
iNDiANAroLls, Dec 23. The new
Reaper and Binder Trust will; on January
1, discharge several thousand men from the
factories and offices throughout thee ountry.
Forty men who have been employed by
the McCormick Company here have re
ceived notice that they will not be retained
after the close of this year. The under
standing is that the trust will establish one
house in this citv probably in the new
McCormick building and the entire State
will be. supplied with reapers and binders
from this headquarters. The hundreds of
salesmen who have canvassed the -State so
thoroughly every year will nearly all have
to look for new jobs.

Chicago, Dec 23. This afternoon
Thomas Sweeney, an ex-convict, who is
nearly dead with consumption, shot and
fatally wounded an Ohio girl named Mary
Donaldson. '
Sweeney charged the girl with being
about to j ilt him, and in a fit of resentment
suddenly pulled his revolver and lent a
ballet through her body.

BOLD CLAIMS OF THE E1TAL PARTIES
Habtfobd, Dec 23. The muddle re
sulting from the closeness of the recent
election for State officer promises to de
velop one of the most peculiar phases that
the peculiar political history of Connecticut
has yet shown; that is, that Morgan J.
Bulkeley, the present Governor of the State
who was not a candidate for election, may
continue to hold office for two years to come
without having received a vote for the-of-fice
from anyone.
It will be a strange outcome indeed should
Bulkeley be compelled to hold over, and so
have thrust upon him the honors of an of
fice which the Republican party refused to
give him when he went before its convention
seeking a renomination. He Was then most
emphatically rejected by his party, and now
there seems to be very much more than a
chance that Mr. Bulkeley will continue to
be Governor in spite of Inspaity. The Re
publicans have plainly got to accept him or
else put into office Judge Luzon B. Morris,
of New Haven, the Democratic candidate.
The Claims of tho Parties.
On the face of the returns recently can
vassed by the three Republican office
holders whose duty it is to niake the canvass
the Secretary, the Treasurer and the Con
troller Morris was found to have a clear
majority, although a very small one, over
all the other candidates. The possible hold
ing over by Governor Bulkeley, which
will be very distasteful to the Republican
politicians, is due to the fact that the Gen
eral Assembly, which meets on January 7,
consists of a Senate with a Democratic ma
jority of 10 and a House of Representatives
with a Republican majority of 14. The
Democratic Senators have agreed in caucus
that Mr. Morris shall take the seat to which
the Republican Board of Canvassers ac
knowledge he was elected.
The Republican managers assert with
eqnal emphasis that thev will find some
way to seat General S. E. Merwin, their
candidate, whom no one claims was elected
to the office. The only claim the" Republi
cans have on which, to seat their candidate
is that a Democratic moderator in one ward
iu Bridgeport threw out 128 ballots as de
fective and marked for identification which
should have been counted for General Mer
win. Had these been so counted Judge
Morris would have, lacked by over 100 votes
the necessary number to have made a con
stitutional majority. These facts are in the
nature of ancient history, but are necessary
to a complete understanding ot the situation.
The Law In the Case.
Now the method of procedure in Con
necticut when the Legislature assembles in
two weeks will be this: The State Board of
Canvassers will seud to the Legislature its
finding as to the total vote cast, which will
show that every officer nominated on the
Democratic State ticket has been elected.
These reports will be submitted to the joint
special committee on canvass ot votes for
State officers, to be named Immediately after
the officers of the two Houses have been
chosen. A Democratic Senator will be
Chairman of the Senate Committee, but the
Republicans will have a majority of the
Representatives.
Then the clash will come, for the Sena
tors will report the election of the Demo
cratic State officers, while the Republicans
will report to the lower House that there
was no election by the people, and claim
the necessity of going behind the returns in
the Bridgeport case.' if they can find a way
to do it The Democrats will bold this re
count to be impossible under the Constitu
tion, as no court can order a recount in the
Bridgeport or any other case, the Legisla
ture being the sole and final judge of elec
tions under the Constitution. Then the
deadlock between the two branches of the
General Assembly will be produced, and
under the Constitution Mr. Bulkeley will
be required to hold the office of Governor
"until his successor be duly qualified."
AH the Other Officials Affected.
When that will be no one can say just
now. but the Democratic Senators, backed
by the Democratic State Committee, who
have considered the subject, say he will
have to hold office until the Republican
House of Representatives concedes the elec
tion of Judge Morris and duly inaugurates
him as Governor. Until tho tight over the
Governorship is settled, the other State offi
cers now in office will also hold over, as the
Republican House is not expected to con
sent to the inauguration of the other State
officers, about whdse election there is, how
ever, no question.
Governor Bulkeley's position iu the mat
ter is passivity itself. He would not raie
a finger to help seat General Merwin as his
successor, as he considers that the latter's
friends cheated him out of the nomination
he wanted so badly.at the eleventh hour.
JTor will he probably try to assist Judge
Morris into office. He is simply letting
others shake the tree, and if any plums fall
near him he is ready to pick them up.
The Republican managers, who are anx
ious to avoid both the necessity of seating
Judge Morris or the continuance of Gover
nor Bulkeley in office, will propose to the
Democrats to submit the whole matter to
four judges of the State courts, two of which
shall be Democrats and two Republicans,
No Sign of a Compromise.
This proposition the Democrats will refuse
to accept, and will insist upon Judge Mor
ris' right to the seatunder the constitutional
provision by which he is entitled to it, as he
had "a majority of all the votes cast." A
number of the Republican members of the
House are unfriendly to Governor Bulkeley,
and rather than see him hold office for an
other term it is believed they would vote to
seat Judge Morris. Personal spite may,
therefore, result in giving to the Democratic
Governor-elect the scat of which the body of
the Repnblicans.would deprive him if they
could, notwithstanding the fact that the
official returns sent to the Secretary of State
and canvassed in accordauce with the law
show him to be entitled to it.
The Executive Committee in charge of
the arrangements for counting out Judge
Morris held a three hours' conference in
this city to-night, ex-Speaker Case, counsel
for the Slate Central Committee, being pres
ent. Judge William B. Glover, of Fair
field; James P. Piatt, of Meriden; Herbert
E. Benton, of New Haven, and Eugene S.
Boss, of Willimantic, took part in the con
ference. Every Republican lawyer iu the
House will have a part assigned him in the
contest.
BIX FEES IN OKE FORENOOK,
Firemen at Muskegon, Mich., Have a Des
perate Struggle.
Muskegon, Mich., Dec 23. Six fire
alarms were turned in here to-day before
noon. As a perfect gale was blowing the
danger of the fire spreading urged the fire
men to their utmost. Fortunately all the
blazes were extinguished without great dam
age, although at one time it looked as if the
heart of the city would be burned out.
The Michigan National Bank was dam
aged to the extent of 55,000; insured. The
Truesdale Furniture Company had a heavy
loss, which is fully covered by insurance.
N. McGrath's residence was destroyed.
Loss, J15.000; Insurance, 810.000. -

REDUCING THE' DOSES.
SMlLLER INJECTIONS OF LYMPH TO BE
USED OK PATIENTS
In I he New York Hospitals A Council of
l'hysicians Decide on Tills Course as the
Doses Given Were Considered Far Too
Dangerous.
tSrECIAL TELIORAJI TO THE DISPATCH. I
New York, Dec. 23. In all the hos
pitals in this city where Dr. Koch's lymph
is to be used, operations will not be per
formed hereafter oftener than once in two
days. This rule was adopted at a meeting
of the -physicians who haws a supply of
lymph and it will co into effect at once. The
meeting was ratherhurriedly called on Mon
day, to take place in the evening, after the
lecture by Dr. Joseph H. Linsley, of the
Post Graduate Hospital, before the County
Medical Society. It had been evident for
several days that a wide difference existed
among the physicians in their practice in
iojecting the lymph.
In some hospitals the lymph was injected
every day, with constantly increasing. doses,
until febrile reactions were obtained that
sent the patient's temperature alarmingly
near the death point. In most of the hos
pitals the physician used doses barely suf
ficient to produce a decided reaction, and
the patient thus treated was not dosed again
until the febrile reaction had subsided.
It was deemed best to have an understanding.
Both Drs. Sheurer and Warner declared
that doses of five milligrams of lymphatic
solution of 1 per cent strength should never
be administered nnder any circumstances,
and that they would only inject one-half a
milligram on the first dose and for several
successive injections. It is understood that
physicians who desire to use large doses
will continue to do so, and those who be
lieve in small doses will employ small
doses. All agreed that injections should be
made every other day.
Dr. Prudden, the bacteriologist, who is to
determine by methods of comparison the ad
vance of patients in phthisis toward recov
ery, says there are 1,000,000 bacilli in a cu
bic centimeter of the sputa of a consump
tive. By using the highest microscopic
power, nothing can be discovered in Dr.
Koch's lymph. At the Montefiore Home,
cases of phthisis were inoculated with from
one-half to three milligrams.
KOCH'S DETROIT RIVAL.
Dr. Ehnrly Sends Some of His New Con
sumptive Cure to Chicago.
Chicago. Dec 23. Dr. E. F. Iugalls, of
this city, has received a supply of liquids
for the treatment of consumption by the
methods of Dr. E. L. Snurly, of Detroit
There are two liquids for use in this treat
ment, each made as nearly chemically pure
as possible. Uge of them is -odine, the
other a solution of chloride of gold. The
iodine solution is to be injected each day
for a week in incipient cases, then ou alter
nate days. In aggravated cases, where
breaking down has begun, the two solutions
are to be used on alternate days, then sim
ultaneously, care being taken to prevent the
formation ot an insoluble iodine of gold,
due to impurities in-one or other of the so
lutions. ' i
In specially severe cases, Dr. Sburly ad
vises Dr. Ingalls to employ inhalations of
chlorine gas in connection with the iodine
and gold. Dr. Shurly -modestly states that,
whilehe makes no snch claim lor his method
as is made for the Koch lymph, he has bad
some results that he is very proud of, and he
gives the outline of a few of these."
A TOWN IN FLAMES.
Alalia, Ohio, Near Toledo, Badly Scorched
by Fire Yesterday.
Toledo, Dec 23. At 1:30 this afternoon
fire was discovered in the root of J. Mar
tin's home, on the west side of Azaiia, and
in a very few moments, aided by a strong
wind, the flames spread over the frame
houses and the whole town was in flames.
The wind was blowing a gale from the
northwest, and carried burning shingles
everywhere. There were no facilities for
checking the flames, and the fire had to ex
haust itself. .
Dr. Schuyler's drug store, FL. Dunn's
general store and 18 dwellings were totally
destroyed, very little insurance being held
on any of the buildings. The wires were
down most of the night and particulars
come in slowly. The loss is hard to determine,
but nothing was saved in. any of the houses.
Azilia is a small town on the Toledo and
Ann Arbor Railroad, 27 miles from here.
THE KNIGHTS OF RECIPROCITY.

THE ST. PAOIi TKAIXS NOW GO TO OMAHA
Chicago, Dec. 23. The railroads are be
ginning to understand that they will here
after meet with strong opposition in any
movement they may inaugurate that is not
acceptable to shippers.. The National Trans
portation Association, recently organizsd in
this city, and which is composed of dele
gates of the boards of trade and commercial
bodies throughout the country, is preparing
for active work.
Commissioner Inglehart, of the Chicago
Freight Bureau, said to-day: "The Associa
tion has grown in strength until it is now
prepared to take a stand on questions affect
ing the interests of shippers. Hereafter we
propose to have a voice in the regulation of
matters in which we are interested, such as
the forming of car service associations and
kindred combines, which provide for the
infliction of penalties on shippers who fail
to unload cars within a certain period.
Transportation Combine Means Business.
"The membersof the National Transporta
tion Association believe that by united
action they can correct inconsistencies and
secure recognition and justice irom the rail
roads. There are now over 20 commercial
exchanges represented in the organization,
aud preparations for protecting the rights of
its members are going actively forward."
Apart of the programme of the association
is to insist upon representation in all confer
ences of railroad officials looking to the
adoption of rules or the forming of agree
ments calculated to curtail the privileges of
the shippers. If their demands are resisted
they will resort to other means, as they re
sorted to the boycott in the case of the uni
form bill of lading, to 'prevent one-sided
legislation.
Chairman J. W. Midgcly, of the Western
Freight Association, is apparently "very
much surprised and chagrined at the failure
of the Trunk Line Association to adopt the
uniform classification.
The Illinois Live Stock Bates.
Representatives of the Illinois lines met
to-day at the office of Commissioner S. F.
Brown to consider the new schedule of rates
on live stock prepared by the State Board
of Railway and Warehouse Commissioners.
They found on checking up the rates that
the schedule makes a reduction of about 5
cents per 100 pounds for a distance of 170
miles on shipments within the State. Al
though no action was taken at the meeting,
there was an understanding that the sched
ule would be adopted without protest by all
lines.
Commencing next Sunday the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad will ex
tend the run of its Chicago-Council Bluffs
trains to Omaha, using the Union Pacific
bridgeto cross the Missouri River. Here
tofore these trains have stopped at Council
Bluffs, and the new departure does away
with the delays heretofore existing at the
transfer depot on-tbe east side of the river.
Uniform Pay for All Switchmen.
A'conference of the General Managers of
the Western railroads was held to-day, re
lative to the demands of their switchmen
for a uniform scale of wages. Switchmen in
the Chicago yards have heretofore been paid
by the hour, their wages in a day aggregat
ing from 30 to SO per cent more than (he
day wages paid in small cities and towns.
The managers agreed upon a scale approxi
mating unilormity, by which the wages of
outside switchmen will be within $5 a
month of 'the.Chicago switchmen's wages.
Surveyors, who are now engaged in run
ning a line from Chicago to Milwaukee, arc
said to be Working under the direction of
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific.
They have reached a point near Racine, and
the line they are mapping out follows the
Lake Shore closely. The Rock Island
reaches the principal gateways of traffic
covered, by the St, Paul and the North
western, except in Wisconsin. The Rock
Island is anxious to get a part of the lum
ber traffic to the Southwest, and other
branches to penetrate the interior of Wis
consin are projected.

A DOOMED MISSOURI TOWN.
A Lynched Man Cnrsed It and It Has Been
' Utterly Destroyed.
Burlington, Ia., Dec 23. Alexan
dria, Mo., is doomed to the fate predicted
for it in a lurid way by a bad man many
years ago, who was caught in some crime
and lynched near there after he had a trial
by a mob. He richly merited bis fate, but
when asked if he desired to say anything he
turned upon the mob with a scowling face
and hissed a curse upon them and their
people, hoping that their disasters might
never cease.
That year a fire swept the greater part of
the city, which then was one of the most
prosperous in Northwestern Missouri on the
Mississippi. An attempt wat made to re
build the burnt district. Scarcely bad
the work beguu when a great rise
fn the river submerged the place
and ruined the crops in the sur
rounding fields. Since then, off and ou, the
place has been visited by flood and fire till
it has been reduced to -a mere settlementof
ague-attacked backwoodsmen. Last night
what was left of the city was wiped out by
fire, with a loss of over $20,000.
EX-TREASTXRER SPINNER DYING.
A Deadly Cancer is Eating Into His Brain
and Ufe is Ebbing.
Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 23. General
F. E. Spinner, ex-Secretary of the
United States Treasury, residing in
this city, is comfortable to-day, but
his liie is gradually ebbing away. Sat
urday he sustained a sinking spell, and it
was thought that he could not rally; but
with his brave spirit he did. Hundreds at
his age, 89, would have gone under with
such paroxysms.
The caucer on his face, which is sapping
away his vitality, has eaten a deep hole
near the eye and nose, and the pulsa
tion of the brain can plainly be seen
through it. He is most of the time in a
dull stupor and sleeps. When awake he is
rational and recognizes familiar voices. He
is receiving every attention possible, but
his case is a hopeless one.

DISS DEBAR'S WILES
Entrap Another Victim of Her Bunco
Spirit Painting.
AN EDITOR'S WIFE THE DUPE
Who Espouses the (hnse of the Agents of
the Angel World
AND FEODDCES HEE OWN FICTDEES
ISPECIAL TZUtaitAM TO THE DISPATCtt.l
New York, 'Dec 23. Ann O'Delia
Salomon, alias Diss Debar, and a crew of
bunco spirit painters have come to the'front
once more. In 1888, Luther R. Marsh, a
distinguished lawyer and a vice president of
the Union League, was the victim; this year
the dupe is Mrs. Harriet E. Beach, wire of
Alfred E. Beach, editor of the Scientific
American. As in the case of Mr. Marsh,
Mrs. Beach has believed in spiritualism for
mauy years, but it is within only & short
time that she has come out as a bold de
fender of the fat spook priestess and a
patron of the nineteenth century work of
Titian, Rubens and other dead masters of
ths brush.
Pictures "come" for Mrs. Beach as thev
"came" for Mr. Marsh, and they fill rooms
in her fine house at 9 West Twentieth street,
as they filled Mr. Marsh's fine house on Lex
ington avenue. Unlike Mr. Marsh, how
ever, Mrs. Beach has been p.ersuaded into
believing that she has some power herself in
making spirit pictures "come."
Decided to Defend the Priestess.
It was on Sunday and Monday that Mrs.
Beach came publicly to the foreground to
espouse the cause oi the spirit painters.
She had believed in them before, bnt re
cently, it having been written to her upon a
slate through a medium, as she describes it,
that the spirits of the other world had
elected her to be their champion on earth,
and it also having been related to her
through a.sptrit that her duty was "to' help
a sister indisgr ace," she decided to face pop
ular criticism and get right up andlo
some talking.
She spoke at a meeting of Spiritualists
last Sunday at Adelpht Hall, and on Mon
day night upon the same platform she con
ducted "an exhibition of spirit art and a
mediums' reception extraordinary." It
was indeed an extraordinary show for the
extraordinary purpose of obtaining money
wherewith to start 'a fund for the building
of a home for mediums.
"Miss Diss Debar and other mediums,"
argues Mrs. Beach, in presenting the matter
to her acquaintances and others, "do not get
enough to live upon. As agents of the
angel world, tb'ey cannot be expected to oo
menial work; therefore we must provide for
them. Often they are almost hungry, 2nd
this is a shame upon us."
Fnnds for the Hungry Mediums.
The Monday night show was attended by
some 200 persons and the profits to be
devoted to beginning the building fund for
the hungry medium's home amounted to
only a little over $16. Other meetings are
planned, however, aud Mrs. Beach hopes
that the fund will grow rapidly when more
is known about her purpose. Those at the
meeting saw a score or so of new paintings
, by old masters arranged on easels. Mrs.
Beach said these pictures had been "pro
duced" largely through her medinniship by
Raphael, Titian and Rubens.
The most remarkable of these canvasses
was a portrait of Cassandra, the daughter of
Priam and Hecuba, born thousands of
years ago, a beautiful woman, as mythology
hath it, and one who, though a prophetess,
none would believe. Mrs. Beach came for
ward amid plentiful applause on Monday
night. She is a gentle woman in appear
ance, manner and dress. Slight in figure,
almost ascetic in countenance, low-voiced
and acenrate in using language, she is the
direct opposite of Ann O'Delia, ponderous
in form, worldly in face, loud-toned and il
literate. Mrs. Beach began by saying: "I
am the sole manager ol this affair, and take
no orders or dictations from any one on
earth. My orders have been received from
on high."
Diss Debar Waxes Indignant.
Sfie then described some of the pictures
and how they came. Seeing heavy Ann
O'Delia in the audience, Mrs. Beach sug
gested that possibly spirit pictures might be
received through her mediumship. "The
lady," said Mrs. Beach, "is now known as
Mme. Margaret, having dropped her crimi
nal name of Diss Debar. That excited the
quondam mistress of Mr. Marsh's Lexing
ington avenue house, and rising her big
form to its lull height, she flashed anger
from her eyes and loudly exclaimed: "I
have not given up the name of Diss Debar.
I never will. I was imprisoned on a false
charge and -I will go there again for the
same good cause, if called to do so."
Ann, alias Mme. Margaret, was dressed
in imitation of a Dominican nun and her
robe fluttered and her veil swung to and fro
as she sweepingly gesticulated. She sat
down nearly winded, but before the sensa
tion she had caused was for the time for
gotten, she hoisted herself up again aud
solemnly made this declaration: "Mrs.
Beach has been called upon, chosen by
Heaven, to carry on the work which the
false-hearted old recreant, Lnther P.
Marsh, so ignominiously laid down."
She said much more, and wound up by
promising to "produce" at the next meet
ing, one of the pictures which the court was
afraid to permit her to "produce" during
her trial. Edward Beach is said to seriously
disapprove of his wile's latest vagary and a
summary ejectment of the spook-raisers is
liable to take place almost any time.
