HABBISOfl'S MAGNETISM Furnishes Sport for the Gallery, but Sot for the Statesmen. BLAINE GETS ALL THE APPLAUSE. Fear of the Cloture Kule on the Bland Bill Stops Filibustering. TICB PRESIDENT MORTON A CANDIDATE FROM A BTAIT COIUIESPOXDEXT.J Washington; April 6. The speech of Senator "Wolcott on the silver question to-day was remarkable, principally for its very inconsistent and somewhat impudent attack on President Harrison. The ex tremity of Mr. Wolcott's logical aberration, manifest throughout his effort, maybe illus trated by his declaration in one breath that the silver bill had been put to sleep in the House of Representatives and would not be resuscitated, and in the next that the pres ent administration is to blame for crushing silver legislation. He did not explain the secret ol the President's power over the great Democratic majority iu the House. Senator Wolcott i a very interesting gentleman. His voice is almost as big, his vocabulary almost as prolific, his speech almost as fluent, and his avoirdupois almost as great as that of Mr. Bourke Cockran, of New Yoik. He is six years older than Cockran, and now 44, but his intimate re lations with the people and manners of the "wild and woolly "West" have worn ofl nearly all the veneering of politeness which makes Cockran so pleasing in his treatment of an adversary. TVoIcott Allocked the Senate. "Wolcott is rough and blunt to an ex trtnie, and his unqualified abuse of the President to-dav was a great shock to the dignity of the Senate. Others have said things equally severe, but they have said them in the language of the parlor rather than of the rural stump. To the galleries, however, Mr. "Wolcott was a circus. His vigor, wit, Farcasm, volubility and impu dence were a rare treat to the disinterested frequenters of the funereal Senate chamber, and to-day the galleries were full, the. word having been passed around that "Wolcott would "speak out in meetin " The audience evidently had an admixture of anti-Harrison Republicans and free silver Democrats. "Wolcott's abuse of Harrison seemed to be very acceptable. A sarcastic allusion to the President's "magnetic" qualities tickled .everybody immensely, for it there is one tiling mat Harrison con spicuously lacks it is magnetism. Harrison a Good Summer Triend. Everybody knows him as a cold, unim pressionable, introspective man, beside whose iciness Senator Sherman is positively tropical. Mr. "Wolcott's allusions to Blaine, bringing him in direct contrast to Har rison, brought applause from all sorts of people in the galleries. It was evident that with them, as ith the whole country, there is no name Mhich seems so close to the patriotic heart as that of Blaine. But the Senator's remark that Harrison's renomination seemed inevitable, as, since Blaine's letter of declination, "no man of greater jtature than the present incumbent had been found willing to stand," was received with silence by the galleries and with many frowns among the Senators. It was not a cjever remark. It was crude and coarse and against both the critical and the popular judgment of the President. Mr. Blaine is dear to the heart of the people because he seems to be the most conspicuous and truest type of the keen, shrewd, aggressive American. AVo:cott's harcasm Misplaced. Mr. Harrison has not touched thejiopular heart because he lacks the ardent and ap proachable qualities which seem to mark the best type of Americans. But no one here who is ingenious, Democrat or Repub lican, attempts to belittle the great intel lectual stature of Mr. Harrison. He is gcneially given credit for a finer and less ariable mental poise, a clearer discern ment of the safest methods, and an abler treatment of all public questions, than almost any other man who has occupied the "White House. Had Mr. "Wolcott confined his sarcasm to those personal characteristics which make Mr. Harrison unpopular, and which, whether they are properly a subject tor discussion or not, arc much discussed in making up estimates of the man, he would have had his audience with him; but even those to whom these repellant qualities are unendurable, in the interests of justice and lair play frowned upon the Senator's vulgar and ill-placed allusion to what he esteemed to be smallness of the intellectual stature of the President. Filibustering Tactics Ended. The sun which set last evening upon such determined filibustering by the Republicans against the free wool hill, on account of Speaker Crisp's bad treatment of Mr. Bur rows, rose this morning in so fine an at mosphere of health and peace that it was found impossible to continue the war. Mr. Burrows is a man who cannot hold spite. The Speaker to-day permitted him and Mr. McMillin to talk across the desks to each other without interrupting them, and the two leaders arranged to occupy three quarters of an hour on each side in diEeus- s.on of the first section of the bill and then to take a vote. A deeper reason, however, why the Re publicans did not care to carry the war farther ind force the report ot a cloture rule was because they knew the free coin age men were lying in wait ibr such a movement to force the inclusion of the Bland bill in the operation of the cloture. There will probably be no serious inter ruption ot the progress of the tariff bills, but the silver Democrats vet talk aggress ively ot filibustering against all other legis lation until thev force the House to agree to a final vote on the Bland bill. Colonel Shephard Not a Drawing Card. Neither Cougress-at-Large nor the World's Fair Commission, which gives its immediate car to the matter, now seem to be greatly interested in the earnest effort of Sabbaariau3 to .shut the doors of the Ex position on the Sabbath by legislation. Even the expectation of a visit and sermon from Colonel E. F. Shephard failed to bring more than two or three o! the committee, together to-day, audthe address of a repre sentative ol the National Religious Liberty Association attracted more attention than that ot the great editor who advertises his paper by the eccentricity of publishing everv day a quotation from the Hebrew Scriptures or the New Testament. The op ponents of Sunday opening want a pro vision in the appropriation hill that the monev shall be available only upon an agreement of the Fair managers that the gates shall be closed on the Lord's Day. Though President Harrison is a very devout churchman, he made no such suggestion in his late message in regard to the appropri ation. CongrcKS Won't Interrupt the Fair. Casual expressions which have come to my cars from many members of Congress hint at a pretty ce'neral opposition to Con gressional meddling with the religious phase of the subject, and also at a belief that hundreds ot thousands of visitors whose time and monev will be short should not be shu out of the'building for one whole day I because some one else differs from them in opinion. I note that the Blaine "fake" man is again abroad, and that he again reiterates that the Secretary is not sincerely out ot the race for the Presidency No friend of Mr. Blaine would so write, nor anyone having understanding or a regard lor the truth. Mr. Blaine ia out of the race as finally as though he were dead. He will not upon any consideration permit the use of his name in the convention. Vice President Morton a Candidate. It is somewhat remarkable that Viee President Morton's name has been rarely mentioned for the renomination. Mr.,Mor ton seems to have waited with bated breath to hear the people Cry for him, and, failing to catch the welcome sound, has concluded to speak for himself. That always present "friend," to whom statesmen give secrets confidentially for publication, has visited Mr. Morton within the last day. and has it from that gentleman that he is a candi date Mr. Morton has made a very indifferent presiding officer of the Senate", but he is a good citizen and a genial gentleman, and will make an ideal candidate for the Vice Presidency. The person chosen for this office is expected to put up a barrel for cam paign expenses and to do his utmost to carry his own State, whose doubtfulness is usually a cause of the nomination of the candidate. Mr. Mqrton is worth many millions. His State is a doubtful one. Therefore Mr. Morton should be renom inated. The Probablo Trench Minister. It is said that the President contemplates the appointment of Hon. Robert Roberts Hitt as Minister to France to succeed Mr. Reid. The President would honor himself and the country bv such an appointment. Mr. Hitt is not a distinguished man in per sonal appearance. He has not the air of the great man like Mr. Reid. But he is fitted as few men in this country are for high diplomatic position. He was First Secretary of Legation and Charge d'Affaires ad interim at Paris from 1874 to 1881, and in tbe latter year was called home to take the position of Assistant Secretary of State. "When speaking of foreign or international affairs no other man in either House or Senate is listened to with such close atten tion, because it is well known that no other member of either branch of Congress has made so close a study of diplomacy and of international and foreign questions as he. It would be a deserved honor to give him the French mission, and his appointment would beget the applause of the best men of both parties. April and May are the months of flowers and weddings in "Washington and the last few days of real spring temperature seem to bring both into being as if by magic, and so numerous as to be numberless. One wed ding ol' special interest to Pennsylvanians occurred this morning when Miss Grace Stone, daughter of Representative Charles "W. Stone, of Warren county, was wedded to Mr. W. A. Allen, a son of General Har rison Allen, also of Warren county. The ceremony occurred at the residenci of ex Secrctary Stone, on Capitol Hill, and the officiating minister was Rev. Perry S. Al len, of Green Hill, Pa. Though it was a quiet wedding it was an exceedingly beauti ful one. The result of the Republican primaries in Erie and Crawford counties occasions much surprise here among friends of both Senator Quay and Representative Dalzell. It was thought that iu Erie, and in Crawford county especially, there would be strong opposition to Quay as a sort of legacy of the Delamaters, and "the reported surprising vote for the Senator canses much astonish ment. Senator Quav says he knows of no special effort to work up the vote for him and is, on that account, all the more pleased at the result Lightnek. HURLBERT A FUGITIVE. A Warrant Ont for His Arrest for Perjury in the Gladys Evelyn Suit." LONDON, April 6. A report just made by Sir Augustus Stephenson, Solicitor for the Treasury and Public Prosecutor, offici ally confirms the statements made some time ago that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of William Henry Hurlbert, on the charge of perjury in the suit for breach of promise of marriage brought against him bv Miss Gertrude Ellis, otherwise known as Gladys Evelyn. On trial of the case the jury returned a verdict for Hurlbert. which was appealed from by the plaintiff. The appeal was denied. In the meantime an in quiry was started to learn the truth in the matter. Sir Augustus, in his report, explains that finally enough evidence was obtained in support of the evidence given by Miss Evelyn in contradiction of Hurlbert's testi mony to enabled him to procure a warrant for the latter's arrest. Every precaution was taken to conceal the fact that inquiries were being made, but it appears that it was impossible to prevent Hurlbert from being advised that he was likely to he arrested. Hurlbert fled from England and went to the United States. The warrant was cabled there, but Hurlbert was again warned and fled to Mexico, and thus escaped arrest. A TEACHER'S SUICIDE. She Jumped From the Fourth Story of a New York House. New Yokk, April a Special" Jane Beale, a teacher, threw herself from a lourth story window to-day while suffering from melancholia and was killed. She was 40 years old, and when not practicing her pro fession lived with her mother, brother and sister in Roselle, N. J. Her specialty was natural sciences, which she taught to private pupils and also to classes. The mental dis turbance which led to ber suicide forced her to give up teaching in February, and seek rest at home. Inactivity proved worse than work, and she returned to this city for treatment aboat a i eek ago. She could not slecn last night, and at 4 o'clock this morning she asked her nurse to get her some cofiee. The nurse had scarcely left her when Miss Beale, whose room was in the third story, as cended to the next floor and threw herself out of a rear window. RIVER STRIKE ENDED. The Men Gained an AdTanco but Son- Union Meii Can I5-, Kmpioyed. St: Loots, April 6. Special The big river strike terminated to-day and nearly all the engineers, roustabouts and long shoremen will be at work again by to morrow night. 4 The strikers demanded 25 cents an hour for longshoremen, 545 a month for roustabouts, 590 to f 125 a month for engineers, and an agreement not to em ploy any but union men. To all except the last demand the Anchor Line Company agreed to-day and the other companies fol lowed. The strikers finding they would lose bv insisting on the employment ot" union men only, decided to withdraw that claim, and tbe bone of contention being out of the way there was no trouble in reaching an agreement Within an hour after the set tlement the levee was lull of workingmen and several heavily laden boats went out to night. MAEEIED HIM JTJS7 FOE FTTH, And Ilrr Advertised Bridegroom Flees After Fleecing His Fathcr-in-Law. Chicago, April d The fact was de veloped this afternoon that Mrs. Frederick Winters, who has had such a disagreeable marital experience in Denver, met her hus band through a matrimonial agency in this city. She was Miss Ida Witt, daughter of a retired Chicago merchant She answered the agcocy's advertisement just for fun, her brother believes, and soon was married be fore her friends knew of her intention or could make any inquiry. Wiuters, a heavy-set man with a light mustache, was a smooth talker and posed as a Denver jewelry salesman. He, it ap pears, has borrowed 57,000 from his father-in-law and disappeared. The couple were married just a month ago. Mrs. Winters is said to be exceedingly pretty. A BROTHER'S TRIBUTE. John Sherman, the Statesman, Talks of W. T. Sherman, the General, AT THE LOYAL LEGION BANQUET. A Simple Etorj of the Soldier's Life and a Eulogy of His Virtues. THE BEAUTIES OF BIS PRIVATE LIFE New York, April 6. The event of the evening at the banquet of the Loyal Le gion was the tribute paid by Hon. John Sherman, the statesman, to his brother, General W. T. Sherman, of which the fol lowing is an abridged report It is a delicate task for me to respond to your toast In honor of tho memory of Gon ernl Sherman. I did not fully appreciate this when I accepted the invitation of your commander, General Swayno. He and I often. In tho freedom of personal friendship and intercourse, have talked of the traits and characteristics of leading soldiers in our Civil War, and especially of General Sherman, to whom each of us was bound by tho strongest ties: he by intimate associa tion, by the warm friendship that had ex isted between his father and mine, and by the closer ties of comradeship in war, and I by the natural ties of brothers, associated during all our lives in the most intimate confidence and affection. As to the merits and services of General Sherman as a soldier, I am not an impaitial judge. His standing as such will rest mainly upon the opinions of his comrades and the official record of events now being gathered Into volumes too numerous and large to be read except by the compiler and proof reader. The Story of the General's litre. He was born on the 8th day of February, 1620. He was three years and three months older than I, and, therefore, was always to me an elder brother. "Cump," as we called him, entered the family of Hon. Thomas Bwing, then or soon atter a Senator of the United States, and had tbe benefit of tho kindness, assistance and affection of Mr. Ewing and his family to as full a deerco as his own children. By his Influence William Tecumseh Sheiman was appointed in July. 183S, a cadet at West Point, and there laid the foundation for his military career. He took part In the Florida Indian War. At that time he had a strong prejudice against the Abolitionists who, he said, would disturb the peace of the country to carry out Utopian views. At the approaoh of thn Mexican War Lieu tenant Sherman was ordered to Plttsbnig on lecrultintr duty, but was so Impatient to Join the army then gaining laurels in Mexico, mat ne applied in ratner an aurnpt manner for leave to join his company, but the result was he was sent with another oompanv around Capo Horn to California to take and occupy that distant territory of Mexico until the result of the wnr should determine its ownership. The first detailed authentic account of tho great dis covery made known In Ohio was In a letter from Captain Sherman, which was received with incredulity, and many came irom far and near to see his letters and haveassur nnce from come one they knew that an in dustrious man could earn an ounce of gold or more in a day. Roughing It During; tho Gold Frenzy. General Sherman shared in the ups and downs of this adventuious period. While an officer in the United States Army his daily pay became Insufficient to buy a din ner. His servant deserted him to eai n $10 a day. To make a living he was allowed lerfve of absence, and earned, as a surveyor, ten times as much as his pay as an officer. In two or three years he was compelled to lesign his commission In order to support his fam ily and embarked in banking. After re markable success he had to weather the storm of a general panic. He saved the credit of his-house by the sacrifice of all his earnings. He turned from banking to the law. in which he was not much of a success. He be came the head of n m Hi tiny institute in Louisiana. Nevertbeless.when the Secession wave came he ch03e the side of the Union. It Is certain he did not enter into the mili tary service on account of slavery. His sympathies and friendship wero largely i ith the South. In a letter congratulating me upon my election as a member of Con gress, ho says: "As a young member, I hope you will not be too forward, especially on the question of slavery, which it seems is rising every year more and more into a question ot real danger, notwithstanding the compromises." He acknowledged no fealty to any party, ana, liko General Grant, ho voted for Presi dent but once, and then ncknon lodged he had made a mistake. He had an Idea, too common, I think, among the graduates of West Point, that there is something in heiently wrong in politics. His intense patriotism led him Into the war. The evils of slavery had no influence with him. In a letter to uovcrnor juooie, of Louisiana, lie said: Be Chooses to Follow the Union. As I occupy a quasi-military position uuder the laws of this State, Ideeinlt proper to acquaint you that 1 accepted such position when Louisiana was a State in the Union, and when the motto or this seminary was inscribed in marble over the main door, "By the liberality of the general Govcr ment, the Union Esto rcrpetua." Recent events foreshadow a great change, and it becomes all men tochodsc. If Louisiana withdraws from the Fed eral Union, I prefer to maintain mv allegiance to tbe old Constitution as long as a fragment of it surTircs, and mv longer stay here would be wrung In every sense of the word. He came to Washington in March, 1801, to advise the authorities of the condition of affairs hi Louisiana and to offer his services. He was amazed at the apathy lie lound. When he left he said to me, "These men are sleeping on a volcano, but I have done mv duty." He went to St. Loui3 and became President of a street railioad. His letters at this period exhibit tho ex cited state of his mind, due to the iapiddrift ot events, the firing on Fort Snmter, the detenso of that post by his old fi lend, Col onel Anderson, and the oidlnances of seces sion of State alter State. Ho did not stipulate for rank or pay, but he wanted assurance of an "army," and not n military muster. He had a clearer and better view ot tho great task bcloie this country than any of us, and he was violent and intolerant with tho politicians, and especially with tho newspapers of tho dnv. Tilth their "On to ltichmond" cry. lint there was not the slightest abatement of his zeal in the cause of tho Union or his deter mination to uphold it and to fight for it The Government Folly Awake at Last. When the call for three-year regiments was made, and especially when the now reg ular legiments were proposed, the doubts of General Sherman disappeared. On the 8th of May, 1SG1, ho wrote to Mr. Cameron, Sec retary of War, tendering his services in tho capacity for which ho wa trained. Soon after General Sherman visited mo at a village on the banks of tho Potomac, and he and General Thomas, his clnssmate and fliond. with a largo map of the Uuited Status spiead before them on the floor, discussed iu my presence the probabilities of iho war, and thev nsreed thnt Richmond, Chat tanooga and Kasliville were the gi eat strat egic points. His pait in the battle of null Run was creditable, and the general result pioved that his estimate of raw troops was correct. The battle of Shiloh gave the country assuianceof his fighting qualities. It wa3 one of the most severely contested battles of the war. The chief force of tho attack fell upon his division on tho fliBt dav, but he held the front line of the Union forces lacing tlie.oneiny until the night closed upon that gloomy day, and was the first to advance on the enemy in the morning, and soon re couped his old camp and led the puisuitof tho retreating foe. General Halleck, in a dispatch dated Pittsburg, say: "It is the opinion hero that W. T. Sherman saved the toi tune of the day on the 6th and contrib uted largely to 'the glorious victory of the 7th." Hcie commenced his friendship with Gen eral Grant, which, like that of Damon and Pythias, has been made the subject of story and song. It was one of the most interest ing Incidents of the war, and continued un Drokcn w hile both lived. The March to the Sea Not His Greatest. General Sherman always regarded his maich from Memphis to Chattanooga and tho battle of Chattanooga ns among the most important Incidents of his life. Tho general public havo regarded the maroh from Atlanta to the sea with great interest from the novelty of the movement; but, in fact, it was an easy task with little leslst ance or loss. It was a Joyful Christmas Day in the Xorth when General Sherman wa safe on the shores of the Atlantic and an nounced that Savannah wus ours. With the approach of General Sherman toward Rich mond it was manifest that tho last days of the Confederacy were drawing near. When he reached Goldsboro he received word that tho President desired to meet him at Hampton Roads. Ho went add held tho famous interview with President Lincoln, Grant and Porter. Theie was then absolute confidence of tho overthrow of the rebel lion. Lincoln, full or charity and loving kindness, was studying over the best mode or elosing tho war and restoring the old union, when Johnston proposed to surren der, the conversation with Lincoln was fresh in tho mind or General Sherman, and I know that he believed that In agreeing to the terms of the sun ender he was carrying ont the policy outlined by Mr. Lincoln. Ho could not know, however, that the brutal murder of Mr. Lincoln had aroused in the minds of the Northern people a deep feeling of resentment, which would not tolerate the liberal terms granted to Johnston and tbe remnant of the rebel forces. The fatal bul let shot by Booth had changed the whole situation. But for this desperate act the whole history of reconstruction would have been reversed. Trying to Follow Lincoln's Policy. General Sherman believed in and sought to tarry out the policy ot Mr. Lincoln. The terms of surrender wore tentative, and the conditions were entirely subject to the supervision of the Executive authorities; bnt instead of being submitted to the gener ous and forgiving patriot who had fallen, they were passed upon In the shadow of a great crime by stern and relentless enemies, who would not have consented to the condi tions imposed by General Grant upon Gen eral Lee, and who would have disregarded them had not General Grant threatened to resign upon their refusal to carry out his terms. Tho old cry against General Sherman was again started. It was even imputed that he would attempt to plav the part ot a Crom well or a military usurper. The generous kindness of Grant came to his relief, new terms wero agreed on and the war closed. It seemed to be the fate of General Sherman that when he was most clearly right, tested by subsequent events, ho was deemed to be clearly wrong. His services wcie rejected when "he urged prompt action. He wna ad judged insane when his iriind was most clear, and was deemed lalse to his trust at the close of the wan when he endeavored to cany out the policy and instructions of Abraham Lincoln. Daring tho review of the Union armies In Washington, one of the most imposing civic demonstrations of all times, he proudly lode along the length or Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol to the White House, re ceiving the acclamations and coveted with flowers by a grateful people, and was re ceived by tho President and General Grant, surrounded by an, enthusiastic multitude and patriotic citizens. After the war. Gen eral Sherman resumed tho employment of peace. Sherman's Career After tho War. By the election of General Grant as Presi dent, bo became General, but ho had little to do and chafed for want of employment. Ho became deeply Interested In the Grand Army of the Hepublio and the Loyal Legion. Ho nttended their inoetlngs.and soon formed the habit of making short speeches to "sol diers, and thus developoua talent ror speaic ing. Polltios ho carefully avoided. He was urged to accept n nomination lor President, but he would not listen to it. Whon I had an inclination that way, he remonstrated. "Why, John, thoy will kill you. Thev killed Harrison; they killed Taylor and Lincoln and Garfield and will kill you." It was use less to tell him that some people were killed in war and that the Presidency was not necessarily fatal To him political lifo had no pleasing aspirations but all forms ot social life, conversation, travel, theaters, cards without gambling, which no abhorred: dancing, lectures, reading, literary and scientific pursuits, all forms of study and amusement, gavo him pleasure and occupa tion. His whole life since his retiiement was under the public gaze, and when at the ago of 71, after a brief illness, he died in this city, its whole population in silence and sad ness watched his funeral train. There are certain traits of General Sher man upon which I can and ought to speak with gieater knowledge and confidence than or his military caicer. Ho was distinguished, first of all, from Ills eaily boyhood, for his love and veneration for and obedience to his mother. Shared nil Salary With His Mother. Theie never was a time since his appoint ment as a cadet to his death that he did not insist upon sharing with her his modest pay and gave to her most respectful homage and dnty. It is hardly necessary In this pres ence to refer to his devotion to his wife, Ellen Ewing Sherman. They were born in neighboring households, leaied from child hood in the same family, eaily attached and pledged to each other, married when he icached the grado of captain, shared in affection and respect the Jovs undsoriows of life, and paid tho last debt to nature within a few months of each other. The same affection and caie was bestowed on his children. General Sherman always paid the most respecttul attention to women in every rank and condition of lire, the widow and the orphan, tho youngand the old. He was the most unselfish man I ever knew. He did not seek for high rank, and often expressed donbts of his fitness for high command. Ho became a warm ad mirer of Abraham Lincoln as tho war progressed, and more than once expressed to him a desire for subordinate duty. He never asked for promotion, but accepted it when given. His letters to me nre full of urgent requests lor tho promotion of officers who rendered distinguished services, but never his own. When tho bill for the retirement of officers at the ago of (S3 was pending, he was ex cepted fioni its operation. He telegraphed me insisting mar no exception, suouiu ue made In his favoi; that General Sheridan should have tho promotion and rank of General, who had fulrly earned it. This was granted, but Congress, with great kindness, continued to General Sherman the full pay of a General when he was placed on the re tired list. A' Strictly Honorable Business Man. In his business relations he was bound by a scrupulous sense of honor and duty. I never knew or him doing anything which tho most exacting could say was dishonora ble, a violation of duty or right. General Shernian, though not lesponsiblein law or equity for a loss that common prudence could not foieseo, yet he lelt that he was "in honor bound" to secure from loss those who had confided in him, and used for that pur pose all, oi'nearly all, his own savings. The same exact accountability .was practiced by him In all acts with the United States. In my personal business lelatious with him I found him to be exact and particular to tho last degree, insisting always on paying fully everv debt and his share of everv expense. I doubt it any man living can tiuly pay that General Sherman owes him a dollar, while thousands know ho has been generous fn givins in proportion to his means. While tho war lasted General Sherman was a soldier intent upon putting down what he conceived to bo a causeless rebel lion. He said that war was baibailsm that could not be reformed, and the speediest way to end It was to piosecute it with vigor to complete success.

ONLY A SPARRING MATCH. A Southerner in New York Talks of Fight ing a Duel, but Don't New York, April 6. Special That Colonel F. G. Skinner, of Richmond, did not spill the blood of Mr. John S. Wise, of this city, is not the fault of the Colonel, who has had his dueling clothes on for some time. Miss Isabelle Greene was left out of the Mendelssohn Assembly dances and the cause thereof was Mrs. John Sargeant Wise. When called to account, Mrs. Wise, very unwisely, said something at which Miss Greene took offense and sent for her grand father, the Colonel, to defend her honor. Colonel Skinner was on his high horse at once and demanded an apology. Mrs. Wise wrote a very pretty little note, hut it was not broad enough to suit Mr. Skinner, who still dreams of blood, but as Mr. Wise says he wouldn't fight under any circumstances, there is little chance of New Yorkers hav ing any real Southern sport.

Tho Cap-Mono or Ihclr T.mple, Which Was CO Xears ISnllding, Laid With Simple, Impressive Ceremonies Put In Its Place by El-ctriclty. . Salt Lake, Utah, April a The cap stone, or the last stone, on the Mormon Temple was laid at noon to-day by Presi dent Woodruff, of the Mormon Church, in the presence of an assemblage of people estimated at from 40,000 to 60,000. The ceremonies were simple but of the most im pressive character, and the stone was placed in position bv electricity from the speaker's stand. Nearly every leading man of the Mormon Church was present, and the occasion was viewed by the people as one of the most important in their his tory, i A resolution was adopted with cheers by an immense assembly to complete the build ing by April next. After laying the stone a conference, which has been in session four days, adjourned to next October. It is just 59 years since the laying of the cornerstone of the building. Beneath the cap-stone there was laid a copper plate, bearing an in scription: "Holiness to the Lord.' At 3:10 P. m. the work of placing the statue of Angel Moroni on top of the cap stone was completed. This figure is o gigantic proportions, being 12 feet 5 inches in height The idea conveyed by the statue is that of a herald iu the act of blowing a trumpet. The figure is admira bly proportioned, and its pose is graceful. It is gilded with pure gold leaf, and sur mounting its crown is an incandescent lamp of 100-candle power. The stone pier on which the statue was placed is 210 feet high, and, altogether, the top of the statue stands 222 feet from terra firma. LAWYEB BEGGS' WIDOW Receives a Letter of Consolation From One of the Jurors Who Cleared Him. Chicago, April 6. The remains of Law yer John F. Beggs will be buried Sunday at Mt Olivet Cemetery here. His widow to-day received the following letter: Chicago, April 6. Mrs. John F. Bezgs, Chicago: Madam I have just read with surprise and sorrow of the death of your husband. I did not know he was sick or I would have called to see him. He Is one of the number whom the people have terribly wronged. I have said this to him In person, and have said it to many others, and I wish that he might have lived longer to havo seen his good namo fullv cleared (as I believe it will yet be) of allsusploion in connection with tho murder of Dr. Cronin. When we 12 Jurors took our first ballot on him on the question of guilty or not guilty, there weie eight votes "not guilty," and each succeeding ballot showed an increase of votes "not guilty" till it was a unanimous vote that way. Tho vote "not guilty" can mean, as you are aware, "not proven" or "Innocent," and I assure you mv vote of "not guilty" meant that I believed your husband to be an innocent man. Praying that the God of the widow may sustain and comfort you in yonr great be reavement, I remain Johx Culver. SEEKIHG GOLDEN BTJLE VICIIMS.
