Itr-ECI!. TFLFGHArmC I.rTTtR. bctieau or The Dispatch. I tsHIhGTON-. D. C Feb. 9. The House to-day decided upon the much-ialked-ol in estimation of the Keystone and Spring Garden National Banks. The sweep ing lesolution which Mr. Mutchler intro duced some time ago, and which was re ferred to ihc Committee on Rules, was re ported by it back this morning, without amendment, and with the recommendation that it pass. There was no disposition manifested in the House to raise any factions opposition to its passage Mr. O'Xeil, of Massachusetts, offered an amend ment to include the Maverick National Bank of Boston in the scope of the reso lution, and this was acceded to without op position. Mr. Mutchler, of Pennsylvania, gave a short explanation of the necessity of these investigations, and declared that Congress owed it to the people of the United States to inquire into these disastrous failures in which thousands and millions of dollars were swallowed up by corrupt officials in spite of the Federal supervision which the "Cnited States makes through its bank ex- aniintr. A Change in Hie Laws Needed. The latter part of the resolution instructs the Committee on Banking and Currency, -which is charged with the investigation, to report some amendments to the national banking act which w ill render the present S3 stem of examination adequate to the pur po'es for which it is designed, in order that depositors in national banks may have some assurance of the safety of their money. ' He said that the failures during the last year, not only in Philadelphia, but throughout the country, had almost entirely discredited the national banking system. Mr. O'Xeil, of Philadelphia, called atten tion to the three investigations of the Key stone, which had been made, one by the committee appointed by Governor Pattison, one by the committee apppiuted by the citizens of Philadelphia, and the other by the Council committee. He said he simply ilesired that the farts that these investiga tions had been made should go into the JRccord, and that he was heartily in favor of the present Congressional inquiry. An Immediate Investigation to Be Had. The resolution passed without a dissent ing vote. It is probable that the investiga tion will be got under way immediately, as it is the intention of the Democratic leaders to push these special investigations which are to be made into the affairs of the Key stone, the Pension Office, and the Census Department, through as rapidly as possible. The Banking and Currency Committee is, under the terms of the resolution, empow ered to send for persons and papers, and some of the Democrats confidently expect to catch some very large fish in the Congres sional dragnet. Certainly this investigation will be the mot interesting which will be conducted by the present Congress. The Chairman of ib- committee chanred with making the investigation is Representative Bacon, of New York. The only Pennsylvania member of the committee is. Mr. Brosius. The other members are: Scott Wike, of Illinois; Mr. Crain, of Texas; Mr. Cate, of Arkansas; Mr. Dickerson, of Kentucky; Mr. Snerrv, of Connecticut; Mr. Gantz, of Ohio; Mr. Cox, of Tennessee; Mr. Cobb, of Missouri, Mr. Walker, of Massachusetts, Mr. Tounseud, ot Colorado, and Daniel Hender son, of Indiana. The Examination to Be Searching. Mr. Bacon, Chairman of the committee, said to The Dispatcii correspondent this alternoon, that the investigation would be of the most searching character. "It will not be conducted in a partisan spirit, nor will it be directed at any particular man or set of men," said he, "but Me want to find out just who is responsible for these fail ures; whether there has been any collusion of Federal officials with the officers of the banks, in order that w e may find out where the defect in the present system of exam ination lies, that it may be corrected as a measure of protection to depositors in the future. Every possible safeguard should in- thrown around the, money deposited in national banks, because the people have come to believe that in a certain sense the faith nf the Government is pledged to pro tect their interests." The Senate Finance Committee to-day re ported adversely the Stewart bill providing for the free coining of gold and silver and the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia rendered a decision in the Man ning mandamus case which sustains the right of the Secretary of the Treasury to deny coinage of silver bullion presented at the mints under the act of 1837. In this re spect the anti-silver interests had the best Kf the day. These set-backs, however, have not been discouraging to the free-silver men in Con- KEE i ' i cress, and a counter movement will be made to-morrow in the House. There will be a meeting of the Coinage Committee and a vote will be taken on the proposition to re port a free coinage bill the Bland bill immediately The free silver men on the committee have caucused frequently in the pat ten days, and there is a perfect under standing as to what the provisions of the bill will be. Mr. Bland, the leading Demo crat, and Mr. Bartine, the Nevada Republi can, are perfectly agreed, and they have adopted the bill" so as to meet possible ob jections that mar arise in the Senate. There is no doubt that "the Bland-Bartine bill will pass the House by a good majority, and it is expected to go through without anjr ma terial change as reported bv the committee. Of the 232 members of the "House, 200 are expected to vote for it, a dozen to 20 of whom are Republicans. Its framers like wise expect that it will be passed by the Senate, though only a small majoritv is an ticipated. The action of the Senate Finance Com mittee to-dav in reieoiinc the Stewart bill is not' regarded as reflecting the sentiment of the majority of the Senators. The Finance Committee is composed of Senators who are mainly the strongest opponents of free silver and their action is nosurprise. Carlisle Yote Against Free Silver. The vote stood 7 to 4 in favor of the ad verse report. The four votes in favor of free coinage were cast bv Senators Jones, Republican, Vance, Voorhees and Harri son, Democrats. Senators Carlisle and Mc Pherson, Democrats, went over to the ma jority and voted for the adverse report, as did Senator Allison and all of the Repub licans of the committee except Senator Jones. If the expectations of the silver men are realized the President will have the re sponsibility of vetoing the bill, and it is well known that it could not be passed over his veto. Consequently, the most that the silver men expect to accomplish is to demonstrate to the country that the Execu tive, and not Congress, is the stumbling block in the way of tree coinage. LlGHTNER. J1R. BLAINE TO RESIGN. HIS HEALTH WON'T LET HIM CON TINUE IX THE CABINET. The Authority for This Statement Only Sec ond to That of the Secretary Himself II 1 Successor May Come From the West, and Lincoln Is Suggested. Washington, D. a, Feb. 9. Sp-cial Secretary Blaine's resignation from the Cabinet -n ill, after a reasonable interim, follow his letter of withdrawal as a Presi dcntal possibility. For this statement there is authority second only to that of Secretary Blaine himself. Mr. Blaine has reached a definite determination to resign his commission as Secretary of State. Only the date at which this action shall be taken remains undetermined. Mr. Blaine, if be follows his personal inclina tion, woubi tender the President his resignation at once, but he realizes that such an act, following immedi ately upon his letter to Chairman Clarkson, would be widely misinterpreted and would be construed by the opponents of the Republican party either as an act of pique or as indicating serious differences be tween thePresident and his Premier. There fore, Mr. Blaine willpostponehis resignation from the Cabinet until time enough, shall have elapsed to separate in the public mind that act from his announcement thai his name would not go before the Republican National Convention for the Presidental nomination. The reason which Secretary Blaine will give to the President for retiring from the Cabinet will be- that ot physical in ability to continue to perform the arduous and exacting duties "of his present office. This is, in fact, the true reason for Mr. Blaine's deter mination to withdraw entirely from official life. Other motives may, and doubtless will, be assigned by his critics for his action, but it will really be based upon his precarious health. It is thought probable that the President will look to the West for a successor to Sec retary Blaine, and it is suggested that he might fitid it good politics to select a man from Illinois. In this connection the name of Robert T. Lincoln, who was Secretary of War under President Arthur, and who is now United States Minister at the Court of St. James, might be recalled and promoted to the head of the State Department. The most important subject after recipro city now before the Department is the Ber ing Sea question, with which Minister Lin coln's duties during the past three years have made him thoroughly familiar. BASHFUL TO THE LAST DEGBEE. Congresmen Hesitate to Air Their Suffrage View Before the Women. Washington, D. C., Feb. 9. Special Public men as a rule are timid about ex pressing their views on the question of woman suffrage. The ladies of the District Suffrage Association are greatly amused over the fact that their efforts to get a Con gressman who is opposed to equal suffrage to come before them and state his objections have failed. One of the ladies said to-day that thev had promised most courteous treatment, to refrain from all questions and arguments, and even to applaud enough to keep the speaker's courage up, and to pre sent him a'boquet when through; but, alas for their hopes, not a single man could be found who had the courage of his convic tions in sufficient quantity to carry him through the ordeal. After considerable persuasion Represen tative Oates, of Alabama, agreed tu submit his objections, as embodied in his speech against the admission of Wyoming by proxy asking the President to readliis speech for him. With this the ladies say they are obliged to be satisfied, but the in vitation is still open, and any "anti" who cares to take up the gantlet the ladies throw down will be accommodated at any regular meeting, and guaranteed a cordial reception and respectful hearing, either in a personal statement of objections or in joint debate. OHIO HAS NO FAVORITE SON. .Foraker Also Thinks There Isn't a Bit or Sherman Talk This Year. Washington, d. C, Feb. 9. Special J. H. Manley, of Maine, and J. B. Fora ker, of Ohio, were in town to-day, the one on "postoffice business," the other "to at tend to a law case." Both gentlemen dis claimed any knowledge of Mr. Blaine's in tentions beyond what is stated in his letter of withdrawal, which announcement both Manley and Koraker exceedingly regret. Mr. Foraker said: '"There is no Sherman talk in Ohio, and everything points toward Harrison. Ohio will not present a favorite son at the convention. Of that I assure yon." NEW T0EKS BIO FRENCH BALL A Disgraceful as Ever, and Fully as De fiant or the Law. New York, Feb. 9. Special The ball of the Cercle Francais de l'Harmonic opened with unusual jVigor to-night in the Metro politan Opera House, as the devotees had hopes that wine might flow after the usual hours. It was believed that the introduction of a resolution in the Legislature making the selling ot wine legal 1 o'clock would incljne the police to be lenient. The Mesdemoiselle who make merry the town's .French, balls came re- markably early, and many of them were free of tongue even before the first note of the orchestra had been heard. The over ture began at 10:30 o'clock, and from 'that time on gayety reigned. Cappa's band and Schwab's orchestra alternated with lively strains. No one was allowed on the floor before midnight without a mask, and many dam sels who had secured escorts while masks were in fashion lost them when masts were doffed. The police were present in as large numbers as usual, but they did not invade private boxes or get around the secluded nocs in time to prevent some of the scenes that have distinguished French balls in previous years. LAW FOR SHORT CAMPAIGNS. A BILL PASSED BY ONE BRANCH OF NEW JERSEY'S LEGISLATURE. It Provides for Nominations Ten Days Be fore Election Less Chance for Heelers to Get in Their Work Trial of a Poli tician. srECIALTELIGP.AU TO THE DISrATCIt.1 Trenton, N. J., Feb. 9. Special The funny members of the House gpt an oppor tunity to entertain their colleagues, to-day, while the bill to reduce the time for making political nominations from 20 davs to ten days before election was up for discussion. Cavanaugh, of Essex, kept the House in a roar for several minutes. He said he wouldn't ever be able to rest easy unless allowed to express himself on this bill. It was the best bill that could possibly come before the Legislature. If It was not passed it would soon be difficult to get anybody to stand for office in New Jersey. Twenty days was entirely too long to allow the striker to get in his dastardly work on the candidate. He was highly gratified to learn that a bill had been introduced making it a Eenal oflense to solicit candidates to buy allot and raffle tickets. This was the first public office he had ever held. Before he ran for the Assembly he was rugged and strong, and apparently had many years of life before him. Now he was "broken down. There were four breweries in his district, he said, several hundred saloons, and anywhere from 5,000 to 6,000 social organizations, each contain ing from 50 to 200 members, and all of them have personal friends and well wish ers. At least, they tried to make him be lieve that there were that many clubs and societies. One week he had tickets for 24 target ex cursions. He was out every night till broad daylight, seeing the boys, attending to the trarchase of tickets and all the other little things that a candidate has to do, and his wife grew so disgusted with his old poli tics that she threatened to leave home and remain away until after election. His ex ertions led to his prostration, and it was six weeks after election before he got out of bed. Heaney, of Hudson, also made a funny speech, and the bill was passed, 33 to 17. EE STONED HIS KOTHEK-IN-LAW. Tho Old Lady Murdered Because She Thwarted a Relative's Marriage. Scranton, Feb. 9. Special Widow Elizabeth Horan is dead to-night, and Patrick Mulherin, her son-in-law, is in jail to answer for the murder. Last evening Mulherin took revenge on the woman for abusing him and thwarting the -wedding of his daughter by a previous marriage and the younger brother of his second wife, the family racket having become so serious that young Horah left his mother's home. Yesterday afternoon Mulherin got his pay at the Pnceburg mine, and securing several, drinks started for his mother-in-law's home." In the roadway he 'picked tip two large cobble stones, and, entering Mrs. Horan's, kitchen, crushed her skull with one,, and as she lay unconscious upon the floor, stood over her and hurled the other into her face, crushing her jaw and cheek bone. When found and restored'to consciousness she told who her assailant was, and he was arrested at his home. The old woman lived until this evening. HILL NOTIFIED TO MOVE. Ttie Senator's Stream of Callers Too-Kind for His Fellow-Boarders. Albany, N. Y.,Fcb. 9. Special Much discussion was caused here to-day by the publication of the story 'that Senator Hill was obliged to leave the private boarding house in which he had been staying, at No. 123 State street, and take up his quarters in the Delavan House. It seems that Senator Hill was much attached to his quarters and gave them tip with much regret, as the result of a very broad hint from Mrs. Bateman, his landlady, that she would prefer his room to his company. Since the Senator's arrival in Albany such a constant stream of callers visited the State street house, from early morning till late at night, that the other borders in the house were annoyed by the constant ring ing of the door bell and the tramp of many feet through the halls, and Mrs. Bateman had to face the alternative of retaining Hill or losing her other boarders. B00DLING CAMPAIGN FUNDS. A Democratic County Chairman to Be Ar rested for Embezzlement. Pottsville, Teb. 9. A warrant was sworn out by George J. "Wadlinger, Esq., of this city, this afternoon charging James Healy, late Chairman and Treasurer of the Democratic party of this county, with lar ceny as bailee and embezzlement of upward of 51.200 of the party's funds. Mr. Healy received various sums as a fund to be used in the November election. He deposited the funds in the banks in his own favor as private money. Mr. Wadling er, in his affidavit, charges that only 5500 of the full amount was'used for campaign pur poses, and the balance, it appears, was used by Mr. Healy for private purposes. In the campaign of November last year Mr. Wad linger was a candidate for "the judgeship ot this county, and subscribed a consider able amount of money for campaign pur poses. A NEW SPOT ON THE SUN.

CURE OR A CURSE, Dr. Haynor, a Keeley Man, Hopes the System "Will Be Investigated. - HE IS LIKELY TO HATE IT, f For loan Earle's Friends Insist .That Bi-Chloride of Gold STOLE AWAY THE VICTIii'S BRAINS Some Yerj Peculiar Stories of the Results of the Treatment. ITS ALLEGED EFFECT ON THE MEMOKY fSPXCIAL TELEGRAM TO TM DISPATCH.! New York, Feb. 9. The relatives oP Walter B. Earle, of Yonkers, who die'd last Friday at thePoughkeepsie Insane Asylubo. still insist his mind was affected while un dergoing the Keeley treatment for drunken ness at the White Plains Institute. The authorities of the institute declare that that isn't so, but Earle's relatives contem plate taking some sort of action against the institution for causing his death as they allege Earle remained in White Plains until January 21, as telegraphed The Dis patch yesterday. On that day he re turned to" Yonkers. He went at once to hii parents' house, 47 Ravine avenue. Era bracing his mother he cried: "Mother, I'm curedl I'll drink no more!" Sis friends say that he was very euthusiastic over the treatment. On the night of his' return he wrote to every one he knew who was addicted to drink, telling them they could be cured of their appetite. The day following he went to Troy to tell Mr. Clark, his employer, that lie was a new man. He remained in Troy a day and then returned to Yonkers. On the afternoon of January 29 he was taken sick. In the night he had spasms and raved about the Keeley treatment. He was worse the following day. He ex hibited signs of insanity and was violent A physician was called in and on Sunday, January 31, he was so violent that it took two men to restrain him and he was sent to the asylum. Peculiar Actions of Some Patients. To-day his relatives told a DlSPATCn re porter some things Earle had related to them of the peculiar effect of -the treatment on the inmates of the institute. According to them, he said many of the patients ex7 hibited defective memory after they had, re ceived the treatment. He told that several of them would be playing cards, "when sud denly none of the party could tell who dealt last." Another instance related by Earle, ac cording to the statement of his friends, wan that a physician who was undergoing the treatment became so absent-minded that he often forgot when it was time to go to tljg institute to receive the injection in thearrhj which is the principal treatment. The patients receive this injection lour times, a day. Earle's father said to-day that before his son became insane he received a letter from a man named McDonald, of Duluth, Up?-'wrote-thafat'times he was flightjr.ari(Hftjit hi? memory was poor. McDonald held the Keeley treatment which he had received responsible for this. Dr. Haynor Defends the Treatment. A Dispatch reporter saw Mr. Haynor to-day at White Plains. "I am certain," he said, "that the treatment had nothing to do with .Earle's death. The men who come to us are in the last stage of drunkenness. They are all but wrecks. All we can do is to take away their appetite for liquor, "ve do not guarantee to give them everlasting life. By that I mean that a man who leaves here cured of his taste for drink is likely to be taken down with any disease that flesh is heir to. When Earle came here he was what I consider mentally disordered. That was the result of hard drinking. He seemed to be in great trouble, and he was constantly brooding of er it. "When-1 telegraphed to Earle's sister that he had symptoms of mental disorder two weeks before leaving here, I did not mean that he had contracted the mental disorder here, but that, as I have told you, his hard drinking caused it. When he "left us he was cured and apparently perfectly happy. Happiness of a Cured Drinker. "A week after his discharge he and his sister visited the institute, and I must say I have never seen a more cheerful or more grateful man who had been treated here. I have not the least doubt that his insanity was caused by his domestic troubles. If a man got pneumonia after he left here, and I was asiced now he sliould be treated L would say: 'Treat him as a person with pneu monia.' It was in that spirit that I recom mended that Earle should be treated as a person with acute mania, when I learned that he was insane." The reporter told Dr. Haynor of the stories of Earle's friends about the defec tive memories of some of the patients. The doctor said that the minds of many of the men under treatment were so diseased from drink that it was not surprising that they exhibited such symptoms. He declared em phatically that the treatment had nothing to do with it. C. E. Parsons, the manager of the insti tute, said that if an action is brought against the institute for damages, Earle's record will be investigated. He declared that there are cases where the treatment men receive before they are brmight to the institute is enough to drive them insane. ASB0BY PAEK'B NEW SCHEHE. The Borough Authorities to Buy the Famous Ocean Front. Asbury Park, N. J., Feb. 9. Special' The citizens of this place met in mass meeting to-night to consider the advisabil ity of purchasing the lake and ocean front properties of Founder James A.

The price asked for the valuable property and franchises was only $150,000 not one-quarter of the actual value. Several extensive property' holders pres ent warmly advocated the proposed scheme, and plans were suggested for raising the money necessary to secure the property. After an hour's discussion the citizens re solved to accept the generous offer, and a committee was appointed to draw up a bill authorizing the town to purchase the prop erty and endeavor to have it made a law by the Legislature.

From this handsome little Quaker city of Hoosierdom there are fleeing from some unspoken doom the earnest converts to the new and strange faith. Detroit is their Mecca, and to the City of Straits there have gone several of Richmond's families. Two families left this morning, and others are preparing to follow. At Detroit they have found the leader of their sect. The Disciples of the Flying Roll is what they call themselves, and Michael X-Over-Mills, a native' of Elgin, Ont., is the man to whom they have turned. The world is to be visited by some dread calamity. That is the fear that possesses these new converts, and but one way of escape is open. The only mortals who will be delivered from the wrath to come are those whose names are recorded in the Flying KolL Michael X-Over-Mills is heralded as the one born to fulfill "Daniel xii., 1: "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of the peo ple; and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time, and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book." Detroit the City of Deliverance. Detroit has been named by Michael as "the City of Deliverance," and to him his followers are flocking. James J. Jezreel an Englishman is the author of a treasured work called "The Flying Roll," and to believers it has been sold. "The holy man," Jezreel is called, and his book is the key to the New and Old Testaments the Bible of the new and latter house of Israel. Jezreel, the prophet, lays claim to identity as he of whom Jeremiah wrote: "Take thee a roll of the book and write therein all the words that I have spoken with them against Israel and against Judah." So great is the faith of the elect in the coming disaster that all canvassers for the book nave been withdrawn, and they, too, are hastening to ' the home of Michael. sThe Richmond families who have forsaken old friends, home and kin dred for the new prophet are B.' F. Purnell, his wife and children, and Mr. and Mrs. Lew is Dawson and,, their little ones; George Prirarock-and his' family, "William. Knott, Marion Wallace and his family are Other The Richmond colony at Detroit will grow larger. Purnell and JJawson have sent back word that all was prepared for their reception. Those who have money freely divide with those who have not been so fortunate in the distribution of the good things of this world.. A community that is happv and whose people praise God con tinually' is the result. Michael, the prince of this "ingathering in Israel," declares that' he ha3 already been "treed from the uncleanliness of Adam." He writes: "I thought I was being torn to pieces. I was thrown" to the ground, and balls of fire flew from all parts of my body. I suppose I said "Praise God,' 10,000 times. I am freed from all bodily infirmity, and all food which before was agreeable, disagrees with me." A Message Sent to the Faithful. "Do-it-right," is the new title Michael has bestowed upon Detroit, and from his quarters at 47 Hamlin avenue, he has penned this message to his followers here The Israelites of the Lost Tribes" in Rich mond :. Sear ones, one and all, I send my love to ye. I am more than thankful that le has pleased my Heavenly father and. mother to clothe me with their holy spirit of love, truth and power. I have proved the Flyirfg Roll to bo true, and that I am the flt'st one of the 144,000. lam Michael the Prince, that was to rise up for the people or God to de liver Israel. IT you will search your Bible and Roll you will Know, without a donbt, that I am he, only a cleansed, body ror Christ to blow through, as I or myself can do noth ins. To those of the Flying Roll Jerusalem is hailed as "The Heavenly Mother." "Michael, the Prince," declares that the spiritual meaning of Detroit is Do-it-nght, and that, therefore; God has sent for His people to gather there. England, he says, also means "God's land," and that Michi gan, being interpreted aright, means "where Michael began. D- W. Taylor ranks as the John the Baptist of the sect ill this city, which has witnessed a strange growth of the Flying Roll. There are nearly 100 who have been enrolled as converts. They appear honest and sincere, and are quiet in their belief, foisting it upon no one. The Twelve Lost Tribes are to" gather at Detroit, that the Scriptures may be fulfilled. That is the prophecy ot Michael. Manasseh and Amen ica's descendants England will send. The Hebrews are they of Judah. The first missionary of th new faith who reached Richmond wore .his hair long and his heard iell over his breast like that of the patriarchs of old. He sowed tlie seed, and the harvest is just now being reaped an exodus of the faithful to their chosen Mecca. Upon one subject alone the pro phets are silent. They do not pretend to foretell the fate of those whose names are hot be found on the Flying Roll. They dimply point to the prophecies of Daniel, and have turned their faces away from the world and entered upon a pilgrimage toward a new religious world of their own. KAJ0E OVEBMAN EXPLAINS.

There was a secret meeting in New York last June, which the National Union had 'called, of all the State Alliance business agents it had seduced into the scheme, that company paying all expenses.

An Ohio Senator Wants to Kaovr Some thin; Oil From State Lands In Dispute A Snne; Sum That May He Recovered From the Monopoly. Columbus, Teh.. 9. Special The Standard Oil Company got a blow between the eyes in the Senate to-day. The joint resolution, introduced by Senator Mc- Conica, was under consideration. The reso lution provides for an investigation of the leases of State lands for gas purposes by the Canal Commission and the State Board of Public Works, and if any oil has been taken from this land without authority of law to find out how much and its value. The reso lution was unanimously adopted. Mr. McConica advocated the passage of his joint resolution in a strong speech There are more than 75 wells, producing about GOO barrels daily on the State lands. These wells have been operated for the past two years without any. legal right. The oil production was worth from 5400,000 to 5500,000 per year, but the State had re ceived scarcely anything. The persons operating these wells know they have no right to the' oil, and they have simply pillaged the State's property. 3Iuch of the oil taken from the wells on State lands has gone to the Standard Oil Company, which received it in full knowledge that the per sons delivering it had no right to do so. The proposed investigating committee could trace every barrel of oil taken from the records of the pipe line company and the persons who had robbed the State could be compelled to disgorge their ill-gotton gains. Mr. Von Seggern, of Hamilton, desired to know if Mr. MoConica said the board of Public Works and Canal Commission had stood idly by, and seen the State's land plundered. "I do not know," replied Mr. McConica. "That's what I want to find ont. The land has been plundered. I know that." THOUSANDS OF CATTLE DYING. Tlie Intense Cold Killing Off Stock for Every Idahs Ranchman. Boise, Idaho., Feb. 9. Special An other heavy snow storm is, prevailing throughout, the mountainous regions of Southern Idaho to the great discourage ment of stockmen, who had hoped for an early spring. The present fall of snow will amount to a good G inches, making it im possible for starving cattle and horses to uncover the scant feed. Stockmen say to day that there is absolutely no hope for stock upon the ranges. Thousands of ani mals are already dead, and efforts to save the.remaining thousands will be abandoned. In some of the valleys farmers have been short of feed and have been compelled to turn the poorest of their cattle adrift, to starve or to be retaken. Every rancher who comes to Boise reports having taken up a number of horses and cattle. Scores of complaints regarding starving animals have been made to. Stock Inspector Clark, but he cannot attend to half the poor brutes. The stallions owned bv stockmen are a source of great trouble. They seem to go mad with hunger, and run amuck among' the herds and droves, tearing with their teeth and striking with their forefeet. The present winter has never been equaled in Idaho. .

The Mayor Takes the Stand in His Own Behalf, and Is Met by a SEARCHING ?CROSS-EXAMINATIOff. Thirty Witnesses Called to-Testifj to tho Accused's Character. THE DEFENSE EASED ON PBICEDBNTS The trial of Mayor James G. Wyman con tinued to have a dramatic interest yester day. Many staid citizen's who seldom visit the Quarter Sessions fonght for positions in the court room. D. F. Patterson stiU man aged the interrogatory end ot the machine for the prosecution and Mr. Robb got worked up to the pitch that he appealed to Thomas M. Marshall as authority and not "7 - 'ri,,. S Kennedy. This raised a big laugh. - cfiaracterwitnesses were very numerous, . r their testimony was relieved at inter- t Js by a little humor. In the crowd at large could be heard opinions either way as to the result of the trial. Wyman himself, seemed to stand the testimony of others against him better than his own. His attorneys, apparently, attach considerable importance to the fact that he wasn't the first who piled up wit ness fees, and that precedent will justify him in the estimation of the jury, notwith standing a lawyer for the prosecution rather significantly remarked that , the man who gave the precedent is himselfunder indict ment. He, Patterson, at one time pro posed quietly to Mr. Marshall through Mr. Robb, to put this fact in evidence, but th design miscarried. A Point Raised by the Defense. Attorney Stillwagon, for the defense, in sinuates that a great deal of feeling is beinjj wasted on people who are mulcted in dis orderly conduct cases, and dwells- on the fact that ii 00 people were arraigned at one time it would be 49 extra Mayor's costs and 49 extra of everything else but witness fees. Before adjournment the crowd had over flowed the rail. The speechmakiiig will begin this morn ing, Messrs. 'Patterson and Langfitt appear ing for the prosecution and Robb and Marshall for the defense. Messrs. Patter son and Marshall will do the closing act for their respective sides. The case will go to the jury before the day is over. The first witness was Stewart Hamilton, the Allegheny turnkey, who testified to the duties of the Mayr' clerk. He said the Mayor never entered cases. Captain Wilson, who has been connected with the police., force la" Allegheu) lor 24 years, corroborated Hamilton. Detective "William Langhorst, a special officer, said he was familiar with cases brought before the Mayor. He never knew the Mayor to enter the cases. That was the duty of the clerk. Detectives John A. Steele, Henry Korn man and Thomas A. Johnston were called, bnt their testimony was merely corrobo rative of the former witnesses. The Raid on the Hungarians. Superintendent of Police Muth was sworn, andaskedbyMr. Robb: "Did the Mayor have anything to do with ordering the raid upon the Hungarians?" Mr. Patterson objected because the right to make the raid bad not been questioned. Judge Kennedy sustained the objection. The Mayor was then put on the stand in his own behalf. He said: "I am Mayor of Allegheny; my present term began in April, 1890; in cases where a number of arrests are made the charges are entered separately. To the best of my knowledge this custom was in vogue before my election; I followed the precedent established by my prede cessors; I do not think I have docketed a case during my present term; it is alwayx done by my clerk, who also attaches costs and fees." On cross-examination: "I presided at the hearing of the 49 Hungarians; I knew sev eral persons were called as witnesses; fees were exacted from each defendant and turned over to me- I could have round out who the money belonged to by referring to the clerk's books. It did not strike me as wrong to assess the defendants $49 for two witnesses, bnt to make sure I asked the City Solicitor, lie told me we had no right to exact such fees and I toM my clerk to be more careful. I knew tho money thus col lected did not belong to me, but did not pay It to witnesses unless they called." Overruling Objections of Attorneys. Attorney Patterson Bid you ever make known to the two witnesses in the Hun garian case that $49 belonged to them? Objected to as irrelevant, but overruled. Attorney Marshall stated that the prosecu tion was attempting to prove extortion by assertion; that if the fee belonged to the two witnesses it would not be extortion. Mayor Wyman then testified that he thought In tho Hungarian raid the money belonged to tho officers. Attorney Patterson Mayor, those officers were about the office every day, did you never offer to pay them: Mayor Wyman The clerk had charge or the book;. . "Mayor, do yon remember that one or tlie defendants in the Hungarian raid kicked against the amount or witness fees, and that that man was discharged?" "1 do not." Under re-direct examination Mayor Wy man. testified that he always kept the wit nes3 fees and stood ready to pay out all money when called for. lie had not profited, one cent. lie added: "When my clerk turns money over to me I keep it in a bulk. I also keep a sort of a memoranda on pieces or pauer and sometimes they get lost." Mr. Patterson asked the defendant if he could prodnce such a memoranda and what It would show. Mayor Wyman said tne amount of money in his hands belonzing to the city was between $l,S0O to $I,G0o. He thought tho memorandas was In his own handwriting; and he would produce-them if he could find them. Not Sure About Some Features. Mr. Robb Is your clerk a sworn ofllcer or the city or Allegheny Mayor Wyman I don't know. "Are the Chief or Police and special offl. cers sworn!" "I think they are." "Why didn't yon turn the money yon col lected over to the city?" "I thought it belonged to thewitnesses personally." ijiu you oner to turn inis money into tho Citv Treasury "ltis, sir. i urn.
