Humanity.
In response to the invitation 50 men and
women appeared at Mr. Ilremer's store
promptly on time, and seated themselves as
comfortably as they could on the counters,
barrels boxes and "a few chairs. Among
them were Police Justice Kelly, County

and E. J. "Campbell, all ell-to-do re sidents
of.the neighborhood.
Looking After Their Landlord.
The "old gentleman" in whose welfare
tlioe people arc so much interested is John
Strobel, the owner of the Strobel flats who
He:, ill at 330 West Forty-eight street. Thev
people who are around him sav he is in
sane and unable to take care of himself, but
the neighbors sav he is being deprived of
his liberty by schemers who want to get
some of his money. Things finally reached
such a pass that Dr. Sclioler decided to call
this inectins for the purpose of agreeing
upon some plan of action.
John Strobel came to this country from
Germany iu 1S54. and started in as a shoe
maker He taved his money amHnvested
it in real estate. The Strobel flats arc esti
mated at fl'00,000. There is a mortgage on
them of about JKI.000, but the owner de
rives an income of ?15,000 from the prop
erty. Not .!!onet at His Wife's Fnneral.
Sirobel a::d his wife were content to live
on the first floor of one of the flats, without
a servant. Shortly after Christmas they
were both taken ill with the grip, and Dr.
Larre:ice Johnson was summoned. Dr.
Crosby, of West Forty-eichth street, who
had attended them for nearly ten years, was
not consulted. A few days before 2sew
Year's Mn Strobel died." There was a
large funeral, but Mr. Strobel was not
present. Dr. Johnson said he uas too ill to
leave his bed.
Mr. Strobel has a great many friends, and
many of them called at tV" houre, but a
man named Sherwood, who said" he was" a
professional nurse, rcfuseiJroadrr.it anyone.
Then all the tenants and neighbors began to
talk, and stories were told about what was
going on in the Strobel a::!-'i: e its.
Some of the neighbor, v.ent to Dr.
Crrshv nnrl tnhl liim it unctimp fnr hin t
interfere- He wrote a 1 iter to Dr. John- '
Mm asking 'or a consultation, bat Dr. John
son paid no attention to it. Then Dr.
Crosby wrote asain and said he wonld sec
lliat the proper measures were taken to in
vestigate the matter. Several days ago Dr.
Johnson applied to Justice Barrett, of the
Supreme Court, who unpointed a commis
sion to inquire into John Strobel's mental
condition.
Dr. MjhnlT c1drpses the jlletin.
Police Justice Kellv, who lives in one of
the Sirobel flats, nomiiiated Henry Bremer,
the crocer, for Chairm-in of last evening's
meeting, and Mr. limner was unanimously
elected. Then Dr. Scholer said:
I-sjiirs ami GrvrtXMEs: We have come
together here to protest against one of the
srio.trt outrages that ha- ever been n?nie-trati-d
in onr midst. You all know".Io'hn

General Stanley indicated that Garza's band
was hadly scattered and nearly disorganized;

of capturing him.
No Her d Transfers Alter February X.
After February 1 no deeds can be trans
ferred at the City Assessors' ofiics. The
reason is that the office being so small every
inch of space will be required after that
date ior the clerks working on thcfxicnnial
assessment, and neither time nor space will
be available for anything else.

SHERMAN ASIX-TEBMER.
OHIO'S LtGISLATORE HONORS HIM TO
A CUE IT DEGREE.
The Great rinancier's Ee-ElecHon Com
pletedlie Speaks for Protection Kn
morn of Testimony In Some Alleged
Bribery Cases Before a Grand Jury.
Columbus, O., Jan. 13. Sxeia'. It is
understood on the streets to-night, that
three members of the Legislature gave
their evidence before the grand jury, to
day. It is stated Messrs. McConnell, of
Lawrence, Workman.ol Hardin and Jackson,
of Hamilton, testified that they had been
offered Government positions to vote for
Senator Sherman. These gentlemen could
not be found to-night, and it is not known
whether the statement is correct.
It was announced yesterday that this
evening the details of an attempt by a
friend of Mr. Sherman to bribe a member
for the sum of 53.500 to vote for the Senator
would be. made public. The details were
not forthcoming, and to-night it was "de
ferred for a fewdavs." The details were
not published because the member selected
warned the newspaper mawng ine prom
ises that if his name appeared in print he
would hold the manager responsible and
would wipe up the street with him. 'You
publish -'that story and I will mash your
face," were the words of the disgusted mem
ber. At noon to-day the Senate and House met
in joint session in the House to choose a
United States Senator. The clerks of the
two Houses read the minutes of the separate
elections held yesterday. These showing that
Senator Sherman had a majority of the
votes in both Houses Lieutenant Governor
Harris declared John Sherman duly clecied
Vnitcd States Senator irom Ohio" for the
term of six years beginning Marsh 4, 1S93.
A committee was appointed to escort
Senator Sherman to the hall of the House.
"When the Senator appeared he received an
enthusiastic welconiej alter which he made
an "address thanking' the legislators for his
re-election. He said, among other things:
Fortunately, the great issues between the
twopaitie?:growingoutof the C II Waraic
being -ef tied by the healing lund of time.
The people of the Sou:li as well as theXoith
begin to recognize that the only tm-U of
permanent peacq and pood will is that all
citizen;, must bo nrotectcd in the equal en
joyment of civil and political lights, with
out distinction of race or color, leaving so
cial relations to be doteimin-d by each in
dividual citizen. Though wo may differ as
to details, you will expect mo to stand fast
to the policy of impartially protecting nil
American industries Irom competition with
foreign labor, so that capital may be. in
duced to euibaik in new enterprises and.
American labor may secure such leatonabln
wages as arc consistent viith the dignity
and the wants of American workingmen.

Dominick McCaffrey Says Amateur
Doxinsj Is Going Down.
SLAYIN THE WORLD'S CHAMPION.
President Eouison Slakes a Manly State
ment About II is Letter.
GEXEEAL SPORTING KEWS OP THE DAT
Dominick McCaffrey, the boxing in
structor of the Manhattan Athletic Olub,
who ha? been in this city several days
visiting friends said some very interesting
things yesterday about amateur boxers and
professional fighters. No man in the
country is more qualified to express an
opinion on the question than McCaffrey,"
and hisViews are very pronounced. Dur
ing a conversation with the writer, he
said:
"Amateur boxing' is done for in the Man
hattan club and in the East generally. "We
fjhavc no boxers worthy the name, as they
will do nothing but bang away hammer and
tongs at' each other without any regard to
the scientific features of the art. As a re
sult clubs have resotved to have profes
sional contests instead of the amateurs I
am, therefore, Out securing professionals to
box before our club and it is the first lime
in the history of the club that professional
contests of the kind have been decided on.
Speaking of professionals Dominick said;
"In my opinion F. P. Slavin is the best
fiahter in the -norld to-day. I don't think
there is anv doubt on the matter at all.
After Slavin, I think that the Irish
champion, Peter Maher, has a chance
with anybody. Maher is a tremendous
hitter and very quick. He also has good
judement. He will improve. I do not rate
Corbett as a fighter; he is a boxer. Slavin,
Sullivan and Maher arc fishters,but Corbett
is not. If Corbett and Mitchell were to
box six rounds under Queensberry rules, of
course Corbett would have the best of it, be
cause he could keep his tapping going all
over Mitchell, but would never hurt him.
"But let me add that boxing and pugi
lism are changing materially. Except 3
few big purses for a very few contests, there
is no money in the business for anybody,"

the letter he wrolo about the Gniumcase,
as the following from the Cleveland Leader
shows:
"Tho attention of President Kobison, of
tho Cleveland Baseball Club, was called last
evening to the statements of the Pittsburg
officials in tegard to the Grimm case. It is
asserted there that the conversation in
which. President Robison took part with
Bnckenberger, the Pittsburg manager,.was
inieference to Weaver and not to Grimm.
The names of both players had been men
tioned and it was possiblo th.it thev had be
come iucorrectlj'assoefatcd in Mr. Kobison's
recollection of the con'irsatiou. In speak
ing of tho matter Mr. Robison said: 'It is
possible that I may be mistaken as to the
case of Grimm. I understand that Manager
Buckenbcrger has written a letter to me bv
which I sliail be convinced of mj- error. I
am perfectly frank to acknowledge that I
shall rectity anv unintentional error as re
Kards an individual player, but I shall not
take back one word of the" principles I sought
to convey in my letter. I want this baseball
settlement and future baseball legislation to
be perfectlj- fair and honorable, and when
fledges nre made they should Le lived up to.
f Mr. Buckenberger convinces me that I
am mistaken in legard to Giimmhowill
hear of it at once' "

ccss of Teck Moth Lungs Coneestod
His Bride Expectant With Him.
London, Jan. 13. The Duke of Clar
ence and Avondale, son of the Prince of
Wales, whose approaching marriage has
been the talk of all Europe, is a very sick
man. His attack of congestion of the lungs
assumed a dangerous phase yesterday. A
bulletin issued at 8 r. M. said:
There is no abatement in tho patients un
favorable sj-mptoms. During the daj- the
condition of the Duke has been the causo of
grave anxiety, although his strength is
maintained.
Private advices communicated from Sand
ringham Hall to intimate friends of the
family explain the serious tone of to-day's
bulletins. Until yestcrdaj' evening only
one lunc of the Duke was severely affected.
Earlv this morning an examination showed
that Wh lungs w ere congested The patient
suffers frequently from acute pain, and his
breathing is difficult. The doctors' main
hope is that the Duke's sound constitution
will pull him through, but the family know
that he has not the robust vitality of his
brother.
Dr. Laking, with his knowledge to the
Duke's temperament, having watched hjs
little ailments since he was an infant, is
understood to be more sanguine than is Dr.
Broadbent, who brings to bear in this case
extensive experience gained among fever
patients in St. Mary's Hospital. The
patient is assiduouslynursod by his mother,
who is occasionally assisted by Princess
Mary.
The malady from which the Duke is
suffering developed so rapidly this morning
that his mother remained at his bedside, re
fusing to take any rest throughout thenight
The sudden change for the worse in the
patient's condition struck the whole house
hold with dismay.
The Princess told a friend that this was
really the seventh day of the Duke's illness.
On Wednesday last, she said, he was a mem
ber of a party shooting over game covers a
long distance from Sandringham Hall. At
luncheon he complained of not feeling as
well as usual, was seen to shiver, and said
that lie felt that he was taking cold, but
alter the meal he continued shooting. He
insisted on rejoining the party Thursday.
After luncheon he said he felt compelled to
return home and left the party, going on
foot.

'You Inquire how I have been since I bo
came cured over one yearaso. I am skid to
state I have remained well, and never en
Joved better health. I had had catarrh for
six years. I first noticed mv head and noo
would feel stuffed up, and a touch, slimy
mucus formed In my throat. The discharge
from mv nn-e was
very otfeu-ive. I
had" pain in my
forehead and fre
quent nosebleed.
My throat became
sore and hurt to
swallow. The di
easo extended
from my throat to
my lniigs. I felt
Fin in my chest,
coiuhed iii-riit
and d.iy. In the
night my cough
;was very vlo.ent.
My breath now be
came very short.
In the night I
would often waken
Dr. A. S. Jjoicc. with such smoth
ered feelings I conld scarcelyget mv breath.
My lungs became so weak I could
not lie on either side. I lost flesh,
had night sweats, and fclt very
weak at times. I was unable to do r.nr
work. Iwastffraid I had consumption. I
had no appetite and felt like vomiting what
little food I ate. I had distress and fullness
after eating. I employed several physicians
but grew worse. I became disgusted with
doctoring and thought I never would
be cared. Through adrieo of a friend,
whose wife had been enred, I called at j our
institute and began treatment. I improved
rapidly from tho first. Your price for treat
ment was more rea.-onable than any I had
received, for you cured mo in much le-s
time than I expected. The best part of nil
is I have remained cured. I live at Xo. 219
