L A very worthy young man accidentally shot through the heart while the midnight bells and whistles lure ringing and blowing in the new year; a lively j r:ze tight between Slugger Brooks, of Xcw York, and Slugger Holcomb, of "Washington, as twilight dawned on the new j ear; the burning of Secretarr Blaine's house, occupied by Millionaire Leiter, of Chicago; a frg so thick that one could not fcc across the street; official receptions and miscellaneous Xew Year calls in rain, fog and slush, such as are rarely seen in combi nation in "Washington, made a somen hat notable advent of lo91 iu the Capital City. Not for long years have 2se Year recep tions hecn so sparsely attended jaud society calls so small, and not within the memory of the oldest society dude have the fashion ables and others looked so bedraggled and forlorn on a gala day. All sorts of vehicles were in demand at the highest prices, and sn far as is known the cabbies are the only fellows who are ahead of the game. The Capitol was deserted. A member now and then straggled into one chamber or the other only to seek assistance, or to get the fog ont of his throat. Tlie Froidcnt'h Brilliant Reception. The President's reception was of course the social feature of the day. The his toric "White House, which has been the ccenc ot so many brilliant spectacles, never looked prettier than it did to-day. Special pains were taken with the decorations, and everything was done to make the mansion is attractive as possible. The Government corv;rvatories and hothouses were taxed to their utmost capacity for flowers and plants, ami the supply being inadequate to meet the President's desire recourse was had to private dealers. s In tact, it was found necessary to go to 2few York and Philadelphia for some of the flowers used in the devices. These were all of a natnotic character, being fac similes of the flag ot the Union and the national coat of arms, both of which were prominently dis played in the different parts of the house. ' a.ne reception Degau at 11 o clock, the re ceiving party taking tneir places in the Blue Parlor at that hour to the familiar sttams of "Hail to the Chief," played by the full Marine Band, which was stationed iu the vestibule just inside the main entrance.

Morton and all the members of the Cabinet with the ladies of their families, with the excep tion of Mrs. Blaine, had previouslv joined the President and Mrs. Harrison, and foUoucd tbeiu downstair to the reception room. Here all the gentlemen, uith the exception of the Pre-iilent. ret red to the rrar of the blue parlor where a large number of lut ited guests hail aircadv gathered. The receiviug party tnen formed a line be tween the entrance and exit doors. The inem licrs ol the diplomatic corps were hrstrcceited Thoywere neailt all present. AH wore full court conuaic which, in many cases, notably the Russian, German. Austrian, Prench and Chinese Minister", was of the mo-t gorccous Wscription. Thej were presented by becretary Blaine and Assistant becreurj "Wharton, and made a brilliant spectacle, with their glittering jewels, gold braids and clanking swords. A eo Distinguished Procession. Baron Favia, of Italy, who is dean of the cori s. by virtue of seniority of service, led the procession and was followed by Senor Romero, of Mexico Ncarl all thp diplomats were ac comparied by ladies. Accompanying the corps were the members of the International Mone iirj Conference and the members of the Amer ican International Railway Conference. They w ere fo lowed soon after by the Chief Justice and the Associated Justices nf the United Mate -uprem court, the JnOges of the Uni cd States Court of Claims and the Judic iary of the District of Columbia.

Secretarj Blame ga e the Diplomatic Corps a breakfast immediately after the reception of the corps at tho White House, and afterward received the public. Miss Blaine assisted him. Senator Hoar was only visible at the Presi dent's receution, where be shook Mr. Harri son's hand, each looking the other in the eye in a melancholy way, and both evidently thinking of the elections bill. The burning of the Blaine bonse was tho gossip of the da., and ren exaggerated reports v ere circulatedfin re gard to tho cjstly house and furnishings. The truth Is the house was built for about t TUXIO. instead of 5150,000. as gossip bad it, and whatever the valuo of tho furniture and decora tion, tlioy were for the most part tawdry and commonplace. '1 he be-t feature of New Year's Day here Is that it marks the end of the idlo season of the Natmon.il Legislators, though nothing will be douc before the 5:b. except to pull themselves together as best thev can. The House will neet to morrow, but will adionrn to Monday. The Senate will meet Saturdaj, but will also adjourn to Monday, when the Republicans will perpetrate another caucus and endeavor to Iori.e even body into line tp do something or o.hcr besides wasting time on the elections MIL LlGlITXER.

Two Toang Men Fall Ont and Ono Kills the Other The Murderer Then Blows His Own Brains Ont A Sad New Tear's Day. frVCIAL TXLXGRAH TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Baxlet, Ga., Jan. 1. New Year's Day dawned upon two grief-stricken families, relatives of "Willie Pace and Kinsfolk of Nat Ashley, two prominent voting men of Hazlcturst. Last night a party was given at the residence of Mr. Girlman, near HazlchnrsU These young men were clerking in stores in that town and were firm friends. Both desired to attend the party. It seems that it was understood between them that "Willie Pace would go out to the party and return immediately for Nat. He went and staved for some timcpartakingin the festivities He then returned for Nat. whom ho found preparing to co to the partv, and apparently fretted becauso Pace had not returned earlier. A hackman had just arrived to take them when Pace returned. Pace and Ashely com menced quarreling about the matter, both wilkmg Into the store. It was about 0 30 o'clock, and no persons were in or about the store except themselves and the hackman. Pace was heard to oil Ashley a liar, and a sharp report followed. In a few moments Ashley stepped to the door and called to the hackman, and said, "Tell Mr. Pace to come here. I have killed his son." The frightened hackman, instead of going to Mr. Pace as requested, ran to another store a short distance aay and informed who was there. At that moment another report was heard. Mr. Middleton and others rushed to the store and as they entered a horrible scene greeted them. Ashley and Pace were both lying dead, one behind the counter and the other in front; one shot in the eye. the other in tho temple. Upon investigation was dis. covered that a small Remington riflo in a gun case behind the counter bad been discharged and replaced, and that Pace's pistol was lying near Ashley, and that the ball that entered Pace's eye cor responded with the caliber of the rifle and Iho ball in Ashley's temple with the caliber of the pistol. It is snpposed that both young men bad their weapons drawn: that Ashler shot Pace with the rifle, killing hlra, and when be realized that be killed his friend, seized his pistol and killed himself. Both young men were about 20 years old and highly connected, and had been warm friends for years. GENEBAL SFINNEE'S OBSEQUIES. The Ex- Treasurer's Remains "Will be Trans ported to Mohawk, N. Y.

Parnell Reported to Be Ready to Retire in O'Brien's Pavor. AWAITING A REPLY FROH DILLON BY CABLE TO THE DISP ATCTI.1 IrOXDON-, Jan. 1.- The 'English papers are discussing Patrick For"s reply to William O'Brien, as it appears in the Iriih World, and are agreed that the latter bas decidedly the worst of it in the dispute. The Globe says: "O'Brien's confusion of mind simply means that he is trying to look in two different ways with two different faces, one for the Gladstonist, who likes only verbal explosives, and the other for Ford's clients, who find dollars on their faith of promised explosions that are not to be merely verbal. Unluckily the smooth face meant for Ford has caught the eyes of the English critics, and the angry face meant only for the mere Gladstonist has caught the eye of Ford. ' "This is unlucky for O'Brien, but it is ex ceedingly lucky forali the persons interested in the exposure of sham enthusiasm, mock indignation and real hypocrisy." The Feud Bursts Torth Again. A dispatch from Cork says: The feud existing between the Archbishops and the Parnellites, which has been slumbering since the election in North Kilkenny, burst forth fiercely to day, and the. most bitter feel ing prevails on both sides. Mayor Horgan, an earnest supporter of Parnell, and one of the gentlemcnwho is said to have been prominent in getting up the recent letter to Mr. O'Brien, signed by the Mayor and five ex-Mayors, was installed at the town ball as Mayor of Cork to day amid a fceno of intense enthusiasm on the part of the Parnellites. On the other hand the anti-Parnellites were conspicuous by tbeir absence. This absence of PArnell's opponents from the installation cere monies did not in any way tend to dampen the enthusiasm of the Parnellites. who were out in strong force, omng, in -addition to the fact that tbey designed to honor Horgan, to a rumor circulated early in the day that there was trouble brewing for the Parncllite Mayor. Refused Entrance to the Church. This trouble manifested itself when the ar rangements were being made during the morn ing for the customary installation ceremony at the Catholic Cathedral, which has always formed part of the day's proceedings. The Parnellites were then informed, first by rumor and afterward as a positivo fact, that the in stallation ceremonies at the cathedral must be abandoned, as the Bishop, the Rt.-Rev. T. A. O'Callahan, D. D., refused to receive the Par nellite Mayor. This information was greeted with many signs of extreme indignationbytbe Parnellites, who areaiow convinced that the battle with the priesthood is only in its early stages, and that a long and desperate struggle for suprem acy Detween themselves and tho priests can bo looked forward to throughout Ireland, if Par nell reibains at the head of bis faction of the Irish party. Parnell Willing to Retire. It is understood in Dublin that William O'Brien bas cabled John Dillon, now in New York, that Parnell consents to retire if Mr. O'Brien is made leaderof the Irisb party. It Is further understood that the Boulogne confer ence adjourned in order to await Dillon's reply to this cable message. It is also reported that Dillon is consulting with several prominent friends of Ireland who reside in the United States, previous to answering the important question put to him after the close of the con ference. The JnpprjJi6le. the organ of the Mc CSrthvite faction of the Irish party, says: "Mr. Parnell wants no vindication resulting in the annulment of the O'Shea divorce. He intends to marry Mrs. O'Shea when the divorce is made absolute." Lord Mayor Meade was installed in Dublin to-day amid a scene of considerable excite ment. Sexton and Healy were roundly hissed by the crowds present, and the mention of Par nell's name was cheered to the echo. lO PROTECT WORKMEN. A Bill for the Benefit of Employes and Employers. Paris. Jan. L The law promulgated to-day to provent coercion and unjust dismissal of workmen, was originally prenared soon after the banquet given in honor of Gambetta by the minor servants of the railway companies in France. When Gambetta was Prime Minister of franco he decided that an engineer who had saved a train at the risk of his own life should be awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor. The Senate, however, felt differently, and thought that the bill which bas now been pro mulgated and was presented at the same time as wai the suggestion of the award, was too radical But since then strikes have been so frequent in France and other, countries as to alarm tho Moderates and Conservatives into this act. The bill secures advantages to the employes and the employers, and provides that workmen must give some notice before quitting work, as employers must give before discharging thorn.

The opening ot the year finds nearly all of the great Interests of Pittsburg iu active operation, such difficulties as exist being Incident to the season and not chargeable to an apathetic feel ing or to fears of coming troffble. Business will soon be so adjusted to the change from the old to the new year as to move smoothly and with increased velocity. There is nothing ahead to justify whistling down the brakes. Steam is up and the ponderous machine must move on. V Pittsburg's Rural Homes. Frequent allusion has been made in this col umn to the prosperous condition of the sub urbs. No picture of them has been overdrawn. This is not the season to see them at their best, but, environed as tbey are by leafless trees and meadows brown and sere, they are very at tractive, presenting a wilderlng maze of as comfortable homes as can be found on either side of the ocean. Everything in and about them, denotes thrift and progress. The rural homes of Pittsburg will soon be as renowned as her manufactures., Opportunities for Investment. It is probable that a large amount of money which will be released by the annual settle ments will seek investment in local securities and real estate. As the stocks of about 200 corporations are listed, there Is a wide field iu which to operate. As to real estate, every in vestor knows that it is perfectly safe. With such opportunities to make money at home it is almost a crime to take it away to enrich out siders. Protect and patronize home interests should be the motto of every business man. . Homes for Miners. The men employed in the mines! at Maynard, W. Va., belonging to the Pittsburg and Wheel ing Coal Company, have engaged in a new scheme for acquiring homes, and in this project they are backed by the company. The men formed an association and purchased"! farm located near tbe mines. This farm they will lay off id lots, which are to be purchased by the members of tbe association at cost. .To further tbe enterprise arrangements have been made by which-the company will assist the men In building houses. The main object of the com pany in extending this assistance to the miners 13 to get a steady'and permanent set of men who may be depended on. Movements in Realty. A. Z.

NEW YEAR'S BUSINESS Is Taking a Rest Preparatory to the Good Times Coming. A few of tbe produce commission merchants opened up for a few hourson New Year's morn ing to dispose of poultry that had been delayed by snow blockades, but' with this exception trade was altogether suspended. The supply of turkev failed to come up to demand and 'prices advanced sharply over the rates of Christmas turkey. There was plenty on the way, as ship pers have largo faith In Pittsburg's absorbing power In this line, in holiday times, but large quantities failed to reach their destination in time. As a result of these vexatious delays the New Year's turkey was 5c to 7c per pound more ex pensive than that eaten at Christmas. For the balance of the week prospects are for cheap poultry, especially if the weather continues mild. Tho last week of 1889 proved one of tbe best of tbe year to produce and live stock dealers. Cereals and groceries have been qulot. The leading jobbing houses are spending the New Year iu stock taking. LIVE STOCK MARKET. Condition of Trade at East Liberty Stock Yards.

MILLIONAIRES IN LITIGATION. The Wife of One SueVl for Slander Damages of 8100,000. CHICAGO, Jan. 1. Mrs. Peter Smith, whose husband is a millionaire, was sued for slander to-day by Mrs. Eliz ibetb McMabon, who lays her damages at $100,000. 5 This is the outcome of an extended litiga tion growing out of the appointment of Peter Smith as guardian of Mrs. McMabon's young son. at the instigation of her bus-, band's, Edward McMahon's parents, who are also wealthy. A CRITICAL SITUATION. ' The. Coke Market Is in a Depressing Con dition Fnrnacemed. Making It Worse by Shutting Down Redaction in Prices in Various Districts. rsrHCTAL TELEGRAM TO TUX PISPATCn.1 Scottdale, Jan. L The coke market can be fittingly described as depressed. The situa tion Is really critical such tbat prompt meas ures of relief have been taken. Trade is tot tering along in tbe same channel as mentioned in tbe last report, with tbe exception that a further decline in the volume of business was noticeable the past week. The demand has np. parently assumed a drooping tendency. The outlook, which is usually encouraging at this juncturo of the year, prior to tbe formation of a new annual labor contract. isexceeding poor. At this stage of last year there was a booming demand and almost unprecedented activity In the regiqn. Tbe cause which has hastened the lethargic condition of the market is mainly attributable to the down ward tendency and poor prices ruling in the pig iron marker. The indications at this writing are that trado will be further embar rassed and harassed by tbe banking of 23 fur naces iu tbe Mahoning and Shenango Valleys, which consumed Connellsville coke entirelv. It was asserted tbat this difficulty was abridged by the H. C. Prick, the leading company, granting a reduction of 25 cents on tbe ton. This does not seem to have finally satisfied the furnacemen, though, and their mad desire is seemingly for whole bog or none. While tbe furnacemen may or mav not be a unit in their efforts to obtain a 45-ceut re duction in prices, it can be dotted down as a verity that coke producers are like wise a unit In tbeir opposition and any further requests for consideration of their grievances will, undoubtedly, be per emptorily declined. Tbe operators are thoroughly convinced that they have contributed their share toward tbe extrication of tbe furnacemen from their dilemma. Tho concession of the 25-ceut re duction Is regarded as quite liberal, 4 and few nf tbe producers arc dissatisfied with it. Tbat the operators have decided to retnse any further concessions, as pre viously outlined in The Dispatch, is fittingly illustrated by tbe actions of a leading company to-day. It is considered quite significant. Tbe Frick Company served notice on their employes, that following tbe expiration of six day they would close .down indefinitely 1,131 ovens, consigned to the vari ous works as follows: 104 at Kyle: 20 at Lelth: lOOatLeiseueringNo. 2: 30 at Lcisenering No. 3: 50 at Trotter: 250 at Adelaide; 5i at Foundrv: 146 at White; 100 at Vallev; 30 at Davidson; 157 at Standard, and 22 at Summit. It is tbe pre vailing opinion tbat other companies will follow Frick in the movement for further shutdowns. The notices ot these sus pensions, and the fact that over 25 per cent of all the ovens id the region are already extinct, has increased the fear that business will be come stagnant. - Conversing on tbe situation, an operator said to-day: "So the furnacemen disregard our efforts to assist them, do tbey? Wei. as a matter, of course, we wonld be sorry to witness tbe dampening of their furnaces, but I cannot see, truly, how we can render any further help. I nm sure we would willingly do so, if -we could see our way clear. I bejieve that present prices will be maintained for tbe balance of the year, anyhow. To make an otber reduction, as demanded, would result in operating our works at a loss. L for one, am opposed to it." There was a decided decrease in shipments last week. The violent snow storms which visited the region, and the numerous railroad blockades which attended it, were serions drawbacks to business. The railroad companies had a sufficient car supply, but could not reach all tbe works. Many works were unable to make.full time, losing as high as three days on account of tbo storm, while others stocked tbeir entire production on the yards by tbe con sequent shortage of cars, Tbe interposition of a holiday also bad a perceptible effect, as all companies observed it. Works will also lay off one day this week. There are still over 4,000 cold ovens in tbe region, which will be increased to over 5.000 by the banking of thp ovens above mentioned. The active list still, foots up to 11,700 nearly. Tbe United plant of S00 ovens is cold on account ot a fire in tbe mine. The Charlotte plant here is also idle for tbe same reason. Shipments last week averagsd 818 cars per day as against 867 cars of tbe previous week. The decrease was 290 cars for iheweek. Fol lowing is tbe record of consignments: To Eoints west of Pittsburg. 2.710 cars; to Pitts urg and river tipples, 1,400 cars; to points east of Pittsburg. 800 cars; total, 4,810. This waB the record of the preceding week: To goints west of Pittsburg, 2.475 cars; to Pitts urg andTiver tipples, 1.650 cars: to points east ot Pittsburg. L075 can; total 5,200 cars.

Toledo, Jan. L The Commercial printed to-day tlje report of oil operations in the Ohio field during tbe month of December. atd also a recapitulation of operations in the field for the year just closed. The field comprises tbe counties of Wood. Hancock, Allen, Au Glaize and Sandusky. The new production for December is 8.424 barrels daily, as against 13, 779 for November. One hundred and ninety-two wells were completed during the month, as against 213 for November: 111 are drilling, as against 148; 109 rigs are up and building, against 149 forthe previous month. Tbe outlook for tbe next year Is very brigbt, and worlCwill bo actively resumed soon after this month Oper ations in the Ohio field have been more activo during the past year than during any previous year of development in this field. , Tbe bulk of the operations, and. in fact, all but a few straggling experiments, has been confined to the foregoing counties. In all branches of development Wood county leads the list. July, August, September and Octo ber witnessed tbe greatest activity in the field, and it is a notable fact that, .when Buckeye oil was certificated tho anil was busiest when the product wai lowest on the exchanges. At the same time, however, tbe Buckeye nine line was paying 20 cents morethan tile exchange quotations. The decrease in operations in December is owing to tbe practical suspension of work during cold weather, and the large increase in dryjioles is due to tbo fact tbat the reports in gilt-edge territory have been pretty thoroughly punctured, and considerable experiment or testing bas been done in unknown territory.
