ISrECIAI. TELEGKArniC IXTTEn. Bckea-j of The Disj-atch, ) "i ASHII.GTOJ.', I). C. Jan. 12. It is more than hinted that an atmosphere of deep gloom pervaded the "White House at the Cabinet meeting to-day. A mental gloom that rivaled the h&rror of the gloom without, as embodied in one of the very moist of 'Washington's January days. The Cabinet men were all there, and Chile was the chief theme of their discussion. It ira a u:cu'sJon full of solemnity. President Harrison is reported to have spoken with inuch grief, more in sorrow than in anger, that Chile should persist in refusing to ' ma'..c proper reparation for the insults she has heaped upon America. If the subject appears stale to newspaper Tcaders, it certainly is not stale at the State Department and the White House. The President appears only to have waked up to the fact that the communications sent by the Chilean Government to the United States contain not the faintest suggestion of apol ogy or reparation. He seems to have been just aroused from a sweet dream of peace, in yliudi be saw Chile bend a suppliant knee and ask lor a pardon which he mag nanimously granted, to find his navy and his army, urged on bv his people, demand ing a fight or an apology. No Apologv to ISe Found. There were several famous heads bowed to-day to listen intently -to an analysis of the Chilean and of the international corre ppondence, as given by Secretary Blaine. In vain they tried to read between the lines and find the much-wished-for apol- ogv. -It was not there, ilicn they conned o-.er the reports of the examination of outraged American sailors at San Fran cisco. It was all, very unsatisfactory and unpalatable. The task finished, the Cabinet looked at each other in awful silence. After a little some famous voices broke the qu'ct, and the tituation ius further discussed. Of course the decision was inevitable there was but one thing to do, and that was to wait a lit tle longer, and meantime hasten all possible preparation tor possible war. That is just what they have been doing Tight along. It is liinied that the time now fixed for the transmission of the Chileau-American correspondence to Congress is when the official report of the San Fraicisco hearings byJutlre Advocate General Rem- is re ceived. That will not be sooner than ten days or a fortnight hence. A Long "M ait and No Results. In his annual message to Congress the President wroie that he would wait . rea sonable time, and then if satisfactory repar ation were not forthcoming from Chile he would lay the entire correspondence before Congress He has waited siv weeks. Chile has been heard from repeatedly. The cor respondence is still in the hands of the President, but it is admitted that it con tains not a single sj liable that can be con strued into an expression of sincere friend ship or regrer, and now, after the lapse of time, the Cabinet express, with almost lachrymose grief, the conviction that the Chileans are as unfriendly, insolent and ar rogant as ever! It pains them to think that, after all their hesitation, leniency and kindly offices, those "South American niggers," as thev are ca led here, hliould be so ungrateful as to plice their thumbs to their noses and gite utttrance to what are plainly mock re grets. They did not discuss the question of who is to blame for this unfriendliness. Yet they cannot forget the fact that one time, only a few months asro. all Chileans were friendly to the Unilcd States. "-omebodr J-'xidently at Fault. Some false sten must have been made by somebody connected with the United States Government to produce the change. "Who is that somebody? Did the administration remain neutral, or did it espouse in some' way the cause or Balmaceda? Did Egan, did Admiral Bronn, did Captain Schlev blunder? Some reason for the bitterness of Chile must be traceable to the United States. "Would it not be well, vhile airing our patriotism and power and grandeur, in a somewhat jingo fashion, to institute an investigation of the causes which have led to the unfriendliness of Chile, and find whether ie should not apolpgize to that country for the first and graver offense of giving moral support to one side in the Chilean civil war and against the other? I am informed that a resolution of this character will be introduced when the President lays the Chilean correspondence before Congress, and there is surely good, ground lor it, for the fact must constantly present itself, even to the less thoughtful, .that here was a friendly people which is now bitterly unfriendly. "Who is to blame? The quarrel between the members of the administration and Senator Quay is begin ning to excite a good deal of attention here, and those who are not immediately con cerned with the administration hope it will go merrily on to a finish. Senator Quay has not yet concluded what course to pursue, but the reports that he had fully decided to introduce a resolution for a Senatorial' investigation are slightly pre mature. That is a proceeding which would need to be carefully pondered, as while enough Republicans might vote with all of the Democrats to adopt a resolution for the appointment of an investigating committee, it would be a virtual defeat if he were not supported by at least a majority of the Re publican Senators. Again, in the event of a satisfactory pass age of the resolution Vice President Mor ton would appoint the committee. He would probably ask Senator Quay to act as Chairman, and would for the remainder ap point firm friends of the administration. A Case tor Civil Service Commissioners. It is possible these enthusiasts who sent out the report of a contemplated Senatorial investigation had in their minds a probable investigation by the Civil Service Com missions The employes of the internal revenue office in Philadelphia are within the operation cf the civil service law. They may be dismissed for giving too much at tention to politics, but there is no section of the law under which they can be sus pended, as was done in the case of the four employes now under the ban. It is said that that untamed cowboy com missioner, "Teddy" Eoosevelt, who has not the".Tear of Presidents nor Secretaries before his eyes, is already on the secnt of an in vestigation into the acts of the President and Secretary Foster. But the lever which is moving all this weight of sensation in Philadelphia is not the President nor the Secretary. The truly good John "Wanamaker, Postmaster Gen eral, is the mainspring of the whole matter, and the act of the President and Secretary was in his interest. Mr. "Wanamaker, I am straightly informed, is ambitious to figure as a Senator. He looks forward to both Harrison's victorv and his defeat. In the event of victorv he will evpect to remain in the Cabinet." If defeat assails the grand old party he will immediatelv enter the lists to bowl out both Quay andDalzellas a candidate for the Senate. Not Very Grateful in Wanamaker. This would be peculiarly ungrateful, as it was due wholly to the urgency with which Senator Quay pressed his case that Mr. "Wanaankcr was selected lor a Cabinet posi tion. To gtin his point Mr. "Wanamaker feels that he must "boss" Philadelphia, and he begins his fine work of manipula tion by prevailing on the President and a fellow-member of the Cibinet to suspend Government employes who showed a dispo sition to oppose a gentleman whom he de sired should be chosen a delegate to the Minneapolis Convention. It was not very shrewd, but it will do very well for a beginning. The only won der is that the President could be caught in such a trap. He suspended gentlemen who opposed Mr. Henry, but did not lav hands on those who supported him, although their pernicious activity was as great as that of.the others. The situation is very interesting, and it will be strange if it does not soon produce some verv good reading for the public press. It is rarely indeed that the usually placid and passionless Senator from Beaver has shown as deeply indignant a feeling as he has in this matter, and certainly with good reason, for there is little or no doubt that the President and Mr. Foster, m their 7iil io please Mr. "Wanamaker, have committed a grave error. Liqiitnek. QUAY IS DEAD EARNEST. ne Reiterates His Intention oflnvestlgitlng the Administration. Washington, D. G, Jan. 12. Special Senator Quay went over to Philadelphia this afternoon, to take personal charge of the primary elections to-night, in which his friends and those of President Harrison struggled for the mastery. Just before leaving Mr. Quay said to a colleague that he is more than ever determined to have a Senate investigation of the interferences of the administration in political affairs. Mr. Quay will therefore introduce his resolution as soon as he returns, and he and the other Senators who will do the investi gating promise to make tilings very lively for President Harrison and Postmaster General "Wanamaker. THS CODE DUELLO SAVED. A Florida Court Discovers a Way to Protect Wonld-Ro Fighters. JACKSONViLLE,rLA., Jan. 12. &wia'. The code dnello is savpd. The jury in the Criminal Court of Ilccord for this county declared to-day that i.either of the cele brated "would-be editorial duelists were guilty, and discharged them. This was the cau-c eclobre of Editors Sevier, of the Even ing Telegram, and Harrison, of the ZIorning Standard. Some weeks ago they came near raeeiing, but the crnel Sheriff got wind of it. and both "eager-for-blood" editors were brought before the bar of justice, the same asordinary mortals. They were held for trial, and to-day it came o'ff, the courtroom being jammed to suffocation. Eicn and everv witness refused to answer under the Constitution, as it might criminate them, and, consequently, as no one knew of any challenge being passed, and no proof could be adduced, the Judge directed the jurv to bring in a verdict of "not guilty." Thus endeth the first lesson. THE LATEST CHILEAN OUTBAGE. A .Mob Sionrs the Gig or Commander .Evans, -r the Torktown, at Valparaiso. "WAsrrrsGTOV, D. C, Jan. 12.

The challenge came from the fresh men, to whom already belongs the glory of havine beaten the sophomores in the annual rush and cane spree. A hundred men on a side, dressed suita bly to the occasion, gave battle, and after a splendid tactical display on the part of both armies, victory again perched on the banner of the freshmen.

WON'T BE A SCAPEGOAT. CASHIER DE LA GREEN BLAMES THE MBNCT BANK PRESIDENT. He Claim He Is Not tlio Cashier of tbe Suspended Bank, Although His Name ' Was Kept on the Boohs He Is Bound Over1. "Williamspobt, Jan. 12. Special The little town of Mnncy was in a state of great excitement over the closing of the First National Bank there yesterday. No one could tell what become of the missing money, not even the Bank Examiner him self, or if he knew he would not state the facts. In an interview, United States Bank Examiner Dengler intimated ho was not yet able to determine thejeondition of the bank. De La Green was cashier of the bank two years ago and resigned hen he was ap pointed Bank Examiner for this district. Mr. Green has been held in 55,000 bail for a hearing "Wednesday, January 30. Mr. Green furnished bond for that "amount this morning. Captain Bowman and De La Green came up to this city at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Green said he did not in tend to be the scapegoat, and would have the President arrested for embezzlement and the directors for dereliction of duty. He said he had taken dothing from the bank. "I offered last night." said he. "to pav ?G,000 toward meeting the deficiency if the directors would meet the balance, but Mr. Brown refused. I have no connection with the bank." "Why, then, wereyou willing to meet a deficiency of which you knew nothing?" To this" there was no answer, Mr. Green exclaiming that the publicitv would kill his wife, and he proposed that tie others should be arrested and explain. I President Bowman said: "It is unfor tunate that these proceedings have been taken, as they could have been avoided." The Muncy depositors are pnzzled. They do not know where the money went to, or what the deficiency is, or who is respon sible. One heavy depositor savs there are 525,000 in bonds and $0,000 cas'h missing, and blames all the officers. Late to-night De La Green made the following statement: My skirts aro clean. There Is .1 deficiency and they are trying to blame rre. I re"zned as cashier two cars ago, and know nothing of the hank's affairs sm"o. They have Kept my name on their letter heads as cashier since, but not with my consent. Thev have had no regular cashier since I loft, but Bow man has seemed to superintend mntteis. When 1 was bank examiner in 1S9D I re ported John M. Bowman President at a salary or $1,500, but ho lias given no bond. There is a deficiency in the cash of $15 000.

They Cannot Go Blaine or Hill, Are Now Seeking After and SOME PROPER IDOL 10 WORSHIP, i George William Curtis rresid.es at the Ifevf York Conference. CLEYELAKD NOT A TJXAKTUOUS CHOICE rFrrCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! New Yoek, Jan.12. In an upper cham ber of Clark's restaurant, in "West Twenty third street, Friday night, 20 of the most noted Mugwumps gathered themselves to gether for a secret and solemn purpose. The blinds were drawn, the waiters were sent from the room, the doors were closed, and as a result it seems that there is to be a third party in the Presidcntal campaign of 1892, supposing some things happen in the old parties, and that; these 20 are to be its father and mother. For some time past the Mugwumps have been as agog and a-cluck as a chicken yard when the nose of a fox is pushed between the palings. The cause of this excitement has been two-fold. First, the dread that Mr. Blaine will be the next candidate of the Bepublican party; second, the ever-rising chorus in praise of Senator Hill as a repre sentative Democrat. Then arose the cry Iot a new party, i Following In Bostonese Footsteps. Several weeks ago the Massachusetts Re form Club held a dinner. Tiie ostensible purpose was sociability. The real purpose was to get together and compare notes upon the political situation. One man there was who said something which awoke some ap plause and caused the dropping faces to cheer a bit. He said the Republican party was ot no account. He said the Demo cratic party had departed after false gods. He said the time was ripe for the party of the future, for the party of civil service re form, of ballot reform, of tariff leform, of honest money. Ever since that time there has been hnrry ings to and fro, visitlhgs, voluminous corre spondence whispered consultations, of which the meaning was that tbe Mugwumps of the loudest voice had been arranging ior a conference. After much deliberation this city and Clark's restaurant were se lected for the meeting. Headed by G. William Curtis. At the head of the table sat George "Will iam Curtis. Never before did his face wear so portentious a look. This holds for the; others gathered. Chief among the dervishes were Carl Schurz, E. L. Godkin, of the jESwi ing J'ost; Horace .E. Denting. .Mattht.T Hale, of Albany William "Dudley Fonfke and L. B. Swift, of Indiana; Morrill "Wy man, ex-CongrcssmanH.L. Pierce and Moor field Story, of Boston; H. Erbert "Welsh, of Philadelphia, and Scth Low, President of Columbia College. Mr. Curtis, after the appearance of the cigars and coffee, opened the ball by stating the business that had caused their as sembling. He ended by starting a general and informal discussion. Tariff reform was. of course, the dominant note, but its civil service reform and all other reforms what soever came in for a share. It was aereed that whether Blaine or Hill .should be elected the shrines would be desecrated, and the people would sink back into the ordi nal darkness in which mugwumpery found them.. narrison Not Very Objectionable. "But how about Harrisoi,?" was a ques tion which made the first j'jr in these ami able and lady-like proceedings. Mr. Swift said he had voted for Harrison, and he wasn't so sure. Others were there who leaned to him. There was a tacit confession of a fellow feeling with pretension without fulfillment. , Someone spoke of Clarkson, the ax man, and of 100,000 officeholders turned out, and, although soft words were used, because of" Theodore Roosevelt's continued license to beat the tom-tom, it was general sehtiment that-while Quay might be overlooked and "Wanamaker condoned, Clarkson was too savage aid Harrison mnst be considered. "How about Mr. Cleveland?" was said as a mere matter of form. But one of the dele gates from Indiana froze the 10 others pres ent by saying that he did not altogether ap prove the course of Cleveland in Indana; that some naughty partisan men who be lieved the same thing 24 hours in succession were affronted. A New Party Very Possible. After several hours of discussion if there can bo any discussion where all are agreed almost to the splitting of a hair the sense of the meeting was taken. According' to the best information, it was resolved that the prospects of Hill having brightened, and the chances of Cleveland having Te moved to the point where parallels melt, the onlv thing to do was to form anewparty provided Blaine and Hill are nominated. A committee was appointed to get together money to establish bureaus, to flood the country with literature. Mean while, a smaller committed will be prepar ing a platform, a candidate and a name for the party. And when the masses are edu cated to the conviction that Blaine and Hill, Republican and Democrat, mean rob bery and ruin, then the hewgag will sound, the bureaus ot reform will hum, the organ izing committees of the new party will commit themselves, and in, the midst of the din and crash the veiled candidate will be unveiled. Such was the dazzling scheme to which a toast was drunk amid flushing of checks and glistening of eyes, and the kind, sweet face ot tne chairman Deaming a benediction upon the 19 others of the scant conclave. Then hats and coats were put on and the conspir ators slipped out into the open air. They felt that they had been real devilish. - MUST HAVE THE BLOCK SYSTEM. Findings or the Railroad Commissioners on the Hastings Wreck. Albany, Jan. 12. In the matter of the Hastings accident the Sfate Board of Rail road Commissioners finds that the imme diate cause.was the criminal failure of Her rick to signal the St. Louis express.

Some Throw Themselves Almost Under tho "Wheels Tracks Blpckadcd and Police men Ronghly Handled The Fubllc No . Longer Good-Natnred. Indianapolis, Jan. 12. Special No street cars have been running since Satur day midnight, and the public begins to be ill-natured and indignant. The trouble is only about a demand that tbe employes ride free. The company tried to start a car to day and the strikers resisted. Ascrimmage followed and two were arrested. A more serious matter occurred later when Tom Lewis, acting motor man, tried to -iorce a car down town. There were some detectives inside the car and a line of blue coats on the outside. When the car was stopped, a number of strikers made a rush for it. They took hold of Lew is and tried to drag him over the car rail. One striker took hold of the eontrol lever and separated it from the car, ! thus disabling it. Others invaded it, and a terrific contest took place between them and the detectives and police. The strikers seized the detectives' by the legs and tried to drag them out by sheer strength. The police were put to a full test of their muscle and the battle thus raged for many minutes. The strikers also took precautions to blockade the track. A man driving a tram was compelled to put his wagon across the tracks in front of the motor. Thus the matter stood, with 1,000 men swarming around the car and declaring that it should never move on. Several of the more ener getic of the Strikers were put under arrest. At 4:15 a third attempt was made to start the car. One hundred strikers sprang in front of it, and some of them fell down on their faces with their hands almost under the wheels, as if inviting the motorman to crush them. The car was stopped just in time to save life. DIED WITHOUT CARE. Fonr Members of a Rural New Vorlc Fam ily Suffer and Die With no Ono to Nurso 1 hem Deadly Work of Influenza and Pneumonia. Mt. Morris, K. T., Jan. 12. Special Jay Burdick, who was buried yesterday, was the last one of a family of four who died of pneumonia on the outskirts of this village under circumstances which most persons would regard as impossible in a small community, where everybody knows everybody else. Although they owned considerable land, and had money at interest, the three un married men and their mother lived poorly in, a two-room house. About two weeks ago Mrs. Burdick " fell ill of influenza, and her sons remained at home to care for her. Pneumonia set in, and the three young jnen, having been stricken wtfh the influ enza, were uname io care ior ner properly. The room in which Mrs. Burdick lay ill contained the only stove in the honse, so her sons sat there day night witli all their clothes on, while she sank to her death. A few neighbors and a clergyman from this village saw her buried in the back yard. The three men were taken with pneu monia on the day after their mother's ueatn, ana, nu atone, witnout mend or neighbor to nurse them, sat six days and six nights around the stove, rcstinc slizhtlv from their miserv, occasionally, by stretch ing out on the bare, seamed floor. One night Miles Burdick and his elder brother lay down to rise no more. "When morning came the third brother woke from his dis tressed sleep to find them both lifeless and stiff from cold. They lay with their boots, trousers and coats on for ten hours, for Jay Burdick was too near his end to move them or call help. In the afternoon, however, he attracted from the window the attention of a passing farmer, and the Jodie3 were laid out on boards torn from the fence before the house. Shortly after his brothers had been buried in the back yard Jay Burdick was taken to (he poor house, but 'lived only a few hours. BALLOT BOXES AND BOOTHS. Tho Commission Selects tho Tormer, hut .

The Repub lican primary elections in this city to-night have shown that Senator Quay's command of the party machinery in Philadelphia is absolute. The two candidates for elec tion as delegates to the National Convention in the interest of President Harrison as opposed to the Quajr anti-Harrison delegates were Marshal Leeds and Charles "W. Henry, and they have been badly beaten, neither of them electing 20 delegates in a total of 200. . The entire delegation from this city to the National Convention will be Congress man Bingham, Oliver "Wilson, Jacob "Wilde more, Dauid H. Lane, Theodore B. Stulb, James B. Anderson, George H. Graham, A. S. L. Shields, David Martin and John S. McKinley, who will be elected to-morrow. They are all out-and-out Quay men, elected, chosen against the protest of President Harrison and Postmaster General "Wana maker, and may be depended upon to enter in any movement for the defeat of the Pres ident's renomination which may promise success. They are all personally for Blaine. Quay has so far captured every district delegate elected to the Minneapolis Con vention from Pennsylvania. Joy of the City Comlilnitloif There vere many smiling faces in the rooms of the Republican City Committee to-night. The ward combine had captured almost everything its members wanted, and the fact that their victory had been gained by the most outrageously fraudulent methods did not detract one jot from the keen enjoyment of the organization. All the "leaders were on band, and when United States Marshal Leeds, lresh from the scene of his crushing defeat in the Second Congressional district, strolled in with the returns from his own ward and looking crestfallen, there were many un kind whispers about tne rain and the valiant Marshal's cherished whiskers. The Harrison forces were routed at every point. Policemen, firemen and city em ployes of every degree had obeved the orders of the combine, and by main force controlled the polls in the Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Twen tieth wards, where Leeds was fighting against terrific odds. Tactics of the Victorious Side. In many instances the Quayites took pos session oi tne voting places, lnsiue ana out, and the Leeds men had practically no earthly chance. The same tactics were used in the uptown wards, and David Martin's faithful henchmen gave the followers of Charles "W. Henry but little show. In the Second district Leeds carried one divi sion of the Ninth ward, the Eighth, by two votes, his champion there being Thomas Kelley, a nark carter. William Henry Lex carried his division, the Four teenth of the Eichth ward, by two votes for Leeds, and the Marshal himself got away with fifteen out of the twenty-one divisions of his own btiliwick, the Tenth. In the Twelfth division of the Fourteenth John Lucey, who resigned from the police force and was placed in the Custom Honse in order to work for Leeds, was defeated by about fifty votes. The result of the contest m the six wards comprising the second dis trict is: Leeds, 17; combine, 107. ' Of the 58 delesates elected in the city, 55 were chosen under instructions to vote for James G. Blaine. OHIO'S SENATORIAL ROWS. Sherman's Re-EIection to Be Completed To-Day Tho Anti-Brice Resolution Stirs Up a Breeze Representative Iiauheriy Indignantly Denies That lie "VI as Bribed. Columbus, O., Jan. 12. Special The Senatorial bnsiness is still agitating the politicians, and the legislative machinery is putting the finishing touches on Sherman's re-election. The two branches of the Gen eral Assembly to-day voted separately on United States Senator, the candidates being Sherman, Republican, and James E. Neal, Democrat. In the Senate the vote resulted: Sher man, 18; Neal, 8. Several Senators were absent on leave. Mr. Sherman was de clared the choice of the Senate.

The Legislature will vote in joint session for Senator to morrow. Senator Sherman will arrive in the city from "Washington to-morrow morn ing, and in the afternoon will address the Legislature, acknowledging the compli ment of an election. In .the evening he will give a reception to the members and return to "Washington Thursday. Breeze Over the Brlce Bnsiness. Mr. Brittain's joint resolution, which found, its way into the House yesterday, stirred up a small-sized breeze this morning when it came up under the rules. The reso lution was indefinite and vague, being with out aim or object further than, "to provide that action be taken to investigate the charges and determine whether or not Cal vin S. Brice has a lecal right to represent Qhio in the Senate of the United States." It provided no plan or method, and atten tion was called to this fact from the Repub lican side, when the question was under debate. Several speeches were made and the author disclaimed any intention or desire to deprive Mr. Brice of his seat, if legally en titled to hold it, but he believed his con stituents demand an investigation. The matter was finally indefinitely postponed. A Charge of Bribery Benied. For several days past an afternoon paper, used as a smut mill by a near'frieml of Governor Foraker, has been abusing mem bers of the Legislature for voting for Sher man, Little attention was given to the vaporings, as they were known to emanate from a disappointed manager of the ex Go vernor, but "in yesterday's isue serious charges were made against Representative Daugherty, of Fayette, who to-day, in the House, arose to a question of privilege, and said: ,'This paper, Democratie'in politics, in its toiitalina ttnn nt Inst eveninf rhnrrrp m ua 'being under a pled?' to Vote lor Governor Foraker for United sstates Senator, and hav ing received 3,5O0, or seven crisp $300 bills, to vote for Mr. Sherman, and that I cast my Tote ior Mr. Sherman for the consideration -sLaire t-jjion this, the first opportunity afforded. of $3,800 paid to me.

Surgeons or the Baltimore Testify They "Were Reinsert Permission to Treat Turn bull, Who Was Left to Die A Summary of the Inquiry. Vallejo, Jan. 12. In the Baltimore in vestigation to-day developments entirely unexpected came to light, when Surgeons Stitt and "White, of the Baltimore, took the stand. They declared the death of Tnmbull was direcJlv caused bv neglect in the hos- 'pital where he was carried by the police. The Chileans refused to allow the Balti more's snrgeons to treat their men, and de clined to do it themselves, except in a very superficial way. For four days the snrgeons vainly begged Judge of Crimes Foster to al low them to. remove the sailors to the Balti more, but not till it became" probable that Tarnbull would die would he grant thfem permission. 'Ihe men were taken to the ship, but it was too late for Turnbull. Blood poisoning had set in and Tdrnbull died five days later. The surgeons were positive death resulted from neglect and imperfect treatment in the hospital. The Sisters of Charity who had charge seemed to regret their inability to help the sailors, but had to obey the order of their superiors. From a summing up by the sureeons, it appears that as a result of the maltreatment two sailors of the Baltimore were killed, five seriously wounded, being disabld for from 9 to 44 days, and 12 received slighter wounds, beinj: disabled for from two to eight days. It further appears that if Rig gin had not been shot he would probably have recovered, as his knife wounds were not very serious. SMALL TAX HATE. Allegheny Citizens Will Have to Pay Only Nine Mills. The Allegheny Finince 'Committee last night fixed on a 9-mill tax. It was agreed to appropriate ?2,50Q to the Auditing Committee for employing experts. Dr. Gilliford then introduced a commu nication from the Allegheny Reform Asso ciation asking an appropriation for addi tional counsel to assist City Solicitor EI phinstone in the prosecution of Mayor "Wy man, ex-Mayor Pearson and Market Clerk Hastings. This was defeated. "When the miliage question came up an estimate from Controller Brown wa3 read. It showed the total expenditures without the contingent fnnd to be 51,080,941 G8; amount to be raised by taxation, $591,639 08; estimated revenues, 5489,275. Nine mills on the valuation of 869,500,000 would give a contingent fnnd of 33.800 32; 9' mills would give a contingent fund of ?G8,G10 32, and 9 mills 559,922 32. In order to make a 9-mill rate it was necessary to cut several appropriations. As a result $10,000 was taken from new engine honses, 4,000 from the Carnegie Librarv fund, 52,000 from the park fund, ?1,000 from smoke consumers, aud 510,000 from the water extension fund, 810,000 from the new streets lund, $1,200 on the painting of City Hall, the total amount cut being 541.200.
