TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCTl. Xew Orlxj?s, April 9 The reunion ol the United Confederate Veterans wound up to-day in a parade. The veterans were escorted by the State militia and consisted of four divisions. The first, including the Louisiana Veteran's, was commanded by CoL Ehelman; the second, embracing the Mississippi, Tloridj, Virginia, Xorth Caro lina and South Carolina veterans was under the command of General J. AV. Stone; the third, from Tennessee, Kentucky, Mary land, Georgia and Alabama, was under General W. H. Jackson, and the fourth, under General "W. L. Cabell, consisted of the men from Texas, Arkansas Missouri, Arizona, .New Mexico and Indian Terri tory. There were 8,000 vets in line on foot, be tides a large number of the disabled and crippled in carriages. Every camp carried number of old Confederate war flags, while a the houses throughout the line of march were profusely decorated with bunting. The Confederate and United States flags were in about equal proportions. 1 liey Used the Kcbel Tell. The march was about two miles long, and from the beginning to the end the men were greeted with ucli enthusiastic cheers and shouts, including the old rebel yell, that it was almost impossible to hear the bands that were plaving "Dixie," "The Bonnie Hlue riag,""My Maryland" and other Confederate airs. The parade stopped in front of the City Hall, where the vets were reviewed and dispersed. The review of the etcrans was a memorable sight. General "V. J. Behan and his staff were the marshals, while Gen eral Gordon and hisstafTand General Kirby Smith and his staff rode at the head of the column and afterward reviewed it. Gen eral Loncstreet, General Marcus J.

It was decided to hold the next convention at Birmingham, Ala., some time next year, the date to be fixed by the commander in chief. .jThe con vention recommended tKe sevcrafpbuthefn State Legislatui es to provide for needy Confederate veterans. Although the mat ter of the Jefferson Davis Monument was suggested, no action was taken in regard to it. A resolution was offered that the veterans attend the Chicago Exposition in a body, but one of the delegates suggested that they did not care to go anywhere that thev could not march under the Confederate battle flag, and thereupon the proposition was voted down unanimously. All the veterans agree that the reunion was by far the most suc cessful vet held. FAVORING F0NSECA. Brazilian Army Officers In Trouble for Mcnin; a aianlfesto It Condemns the Ilrpositlon or Governors and Com-ni-nds the Tallen Dictatorship New I-lectlon Wanted. Ilio Janeiro, April 9. A document, Eigncd by 13 superior army officers, which was recently put in circulation here, has caused considerable comment in official cir cles. In this document the deposition of scleral Governors of provinces was se verely censured, the dictatorship assumed by General da Fouseca was highly com mended and an immediate Presidcntal elec tion was strongly requested. The Govern ment has taken action in the matter, and. after a thorough consideration, has de cided that the army officers whose signa tures are affixed to the. document have, in the composition and subsequent circulation of the paper in -question, arrogated to themselves a -nower belonging only to properly constituted authorities, and have committed a grave breach of discipline. The Government has ordered that all be dismissed trom the service. It is only a ten days ago that a number of oflicers heie signed a petition, urging upon the Vice President the advisability of an im mediate Presidental election. The Vice President thereupon issued a manifesto pro testing against this action of the officers, and they, too, ere punished for interfering in political iatters, the entire number be inc placed on the retired list. The garrisons everywhere throughout the Republic remain loyal to the existing Gov ernment. ONE "WAY TO HAKE MONEY. A Real Estate Commission Secared Before n Check Was Cashed. Clinton, Conn., April a rSpedaZ. A few days ago a nicely dressed young fellow arrived at the Ciiuton House and gave his name as Charles Stewart, of Boston. He said he was an artist, and that he. had a wealthy friend in Boston, who was looking lor a country seat. One of the men whom Stewart met was H. A. Lines, a harness maker, who owned a prcttv house on a side street Lines let Stewart know the home was for sale and was worth 7,000. Stewart said that for a commission of $500 he would take the place. The deeds were drawn and passed to the artist, whp gave a check for the 57.0CO, signed by his Boston friend. Lines drew out the ?500 from the bank and paid the artist his commission. Then the artist left town to place the deeds in the Boston iriend's hands. Yesterday the check was returned to Lines marked "worthless," but the deed has not yet been returned. Stabbed With a Poker. "William McCoy, better known as "Dash," entered the house of his brother-in-law, Tony Patton, in the Yellow Row, Second avenne, and raised a disturbance last night, He picked up a bowl and threw it at Pat ton, breaking his jaw.

Everything Work Against the Great Spec ulator, bat StUI He Compi Ont on Top He Declare! He Hai Not Ioit Nickel One Failure. Chicago, April a A bolder plunge was probably never witnessed in the Chicago wheat trade than that made by Edward Pardridge to-day. Last night, with the stimulated short sales of 10,000,000 chalked up against him, and with the quotations snooting skyward, the odd little speculator was believed to be about ready to throw up his hands in despair. Pardridge was again a conqueror. A regiment of brokers at his orders had dashed into the pit at the very outset of the day and fought his enemies to a standstill. Before the day ended he pulled down the price over 3 cents a bushel from the highest point reached. The close was within cent of the lowest price of the day. Pard ridee, in person, was on the floor bright and early. The galleries and pits were crowded to suffocation in expectation of seeing a cyclone, .when, losing his nerve, he should attempt to buy instead of sell. The noted plunger was earnestly rushing from one friend to another and making his remarks jerky and emphatic, but that was all the emotion he displayed. He wore a dark, natty frocc coat and light spring trousers, and a small, black derby jauntily poised on the back of his head cave him a crisp business air. His keen, gray eyes were now fully alive to what was going on. Xow and then his friends would eagerly swarm around him to ask how things were going, but Pardridge was too busy rushing from pit to pit to talk with them long, and would vouchsafe a lew hurrird words and tear himself away. He denied that he bad lost or would lose a nickel, and declared, "When I lose, I lose for keeps; but I am not worrviug about loss just now. I'm feeling all right" And with that he again dove lor the pit. "When approached at an other opportunity, he empnaticallyasserted that nothing could drive him to cover un less the market went to $1 a bushel. The day's trade was spasmodic, and at times the market was very excited. Far from showing evidence of weakening, Pard ridge was bustling about denouncing the scare as idiotic, and had his brokers selling incessantly. The price did not appear to make any difference, as all spots seemed good selling spots lor him. There was a good deal of realizing on long wheat, but these oSerings, with those by Pardridge, were readily absorbed. It was reported that George Haines, who traded in a small way, had failed. The bears remarked that the bulls went gunning for Pardridge and caught Haines. A Pard ridge broker retorted that this was better than they usuallv did, as they have been gunning lor Pardridge and caught the deuce. I0CAL E1ST0BY PABAGHAPHED.

For Eight Tears He and HIi Wife Fought With Poverty Because His Great Secret Wasn't Appreciated Their First Job Brought Forty Dollars His Death. New Yoke, April 9. Special John Calvin Moss, who died yesterday at his home in Brooklyn, nt the age ot 66, was no table as the inventor of the first practical photo-engraving process. He was born in Washington county, Pa,, in 1836. Early in life he learned the printer's trade. He thought be had a chance as an artist because of a talent he had for drawing and painting, and he therefore devoted a good deal ot time to the studv of fine arts. He did not take kindly to painting and became a pho tographer, in which occupation he got suf ficient support to enable him to experiment in photographies chemistry. At 20 years he bad learned of the ex periment made by Nicophorus Kiepce, and also of the attempts made by Prof. Grove to etch on a dagnerrean plate by means of electricity. He had faith in the idea of Prof. Grove, and made a galvanic battery and set to work. His wife had worked with him in such a way that, as Mr. Moss said, success without her would have been hardly possible. Their first order was for a printing plate which, if satisfactory was to bring them (40. Encouraged by this success they went to New York in 1863 and struggld along for eight years, getting a few orders, but encountering suspicion and timidity and active opposition from the wood engravers, who thought the new process would destroy their livelihood. In 1872, with the aid of a clergyman he established the Photo-Engraving Company, which was successful. In 1880 Mr. Moss left this company and formed the Moss Engraving Cotripany, of which he was the head. Before Moss made his successful experiments, wood engraving, etching and steel engraving were the then methods of reproduction for illustrating magazines and the like. FREED AND JAILED AGAIN.

Taylor, formerly Coster. He was, however, immediately rearrested on a requi sition from Boston, where he was indicted on April 6 for polygamy on the complaint ot Miss Gevinn.

Nearly every body in Dunbar believes that at least one more of the Hill Farm mine victims has been recovered, and it is rumored that four of the six bodies have been found. The Dispatch correspondent has it from the most reliable authority that one body has been found, and only one. This body, my informant states, was found by Mine Boss Doran and his assistants several days ago, lying in the main slope. By the clothing and the coal check in the pocket'it was identified as that of Barney Maust. The mine officials deny that any more bodies have been found, but the people of Dunbar, almost without exception, believe that the body of Barney Maust is boxed up in the mine pending the recovery of the other bodies. This is now the storv of the find is said to have leaked out The mine officials notified Maust's widow at Dunbar of the ficdins of the body of her husband, and said they would have the remains placed in a box and kept in the mine until the other bodies were reoovered. This was to avoid any unnecessary excite ment and delay. Mrs. Maust gave her consent to this arrangement, and it was expected that the matter would be kept secret. Mrs. Maust, however, found the recret too heavy to bear alone, and she con fided it to several of her neighbors, two or three of whom have husbands still hidden in the depths of Hill Farm miner In this way the story spread. The body of Maust was found in the main slope not tar from the fatal bore hole. It is said to have been in the worst condition of any of the bodies yet recovered. When the men attempted to lift it the head rolled away from the trnnk, and the ghastly sight was almost too much for the courageous and nervy men who have conducted the long and trying search, MBS. U'CTJRDY'S ST0BY Of the Suicide and Murder Committed by Her Jealous Husband. CANTON, April 9. Special The Cor oner to-day held an investigation of the killing of L. T. Waltenbaugh by John Mc Curdy and the suicide ot the latter yester day afternoon.' Mrs. McCurdy's story does not materially differ from that printed yesterday, except that she says the first shot was fired at Walten baugh while he was sitting in the chair by the front door, instead of through the win dow of the bedroom and parlor. She de nies having been unduly intimate with Waltenbaugh, but said she could not say her husband had no cause for being jealous, and that he was naturally of a jealous dis position. She says her husband first appeared at the window of the bedroom and said, "I want both of you to come out" Shortly afterward he appeared in the front room. The first thing he said was, "Now, I want both of you to sit down." He told her to sit on a certain chair and Waltenbaugh to sit on chair close to the kitchen door. He said, "Mary, don't move from that chair or I will shoot you. I am going to put an end to this. I am going to shoot myself." It was then she says that the first shot was fired at Waltenbaugh, who fell ofFthe chair. It would appear from the surroundings that the first shot was fired through the window in the bedroom leading into the parlor. A Miller's Horrible Death. Gretek's Fokd, Pa, April 9.

Spe cial. On the west side of the mountain from which flows the almost boiling water is a sniail building which is almost hidden from view by the many bathhouses on the reservation. It is a common brick struc ture made of the cheapest material. It has anything but an inviting appearance. The grounds leading to it are in horrible condi tion, and on rainy das the mudrnad is in such shape that the unfortunates who are compelled to use the healing waters can hardly climb the steep path. A movement is crystallizing to petition the Government to furnish more and better accommodations for the indigent sufferers. In striking contrast is the magnificent Government hospital, costing nearly half a million, with but 36 occupants. The hospital is a magnificent affair with beautiful marble bath rooms and nickel plated trimmings. Nearly every visitor to this resort for his health consults a physician, and the verv first thing he asks is. "Do you use tobacco?" Nine ont of ten reply yes, and he is imme diately advised to stop'smoking and chew ing at once. In speaking of the ma tier a well-known physician said persons taking baths should not use tobacco in any form", as it produced nervousness and makes the user dyspeptic. It is a hard matter, how ever, for old tobacco users to break off im mediately, so thev "sneak" a chew or a smoke and then tell the doctor that they have not seen tobacco in any shape, but the doctor in a moment can tell different by feeling the pulse, which is not normal, owing to the vast amount of nicotine in the highly-flavored cigars and tobacco. But the inveterate smoker and chewer has dis covered a way of baffling the skill of the physicians by chewing and smoking noth ing but West Virginia Mail Pouch Tobacco. Mail Pouch is prepared by an original process known only to the Blocti Brothers, the manufacturers.

An Entire fiearrangement of Father land Factions Probable. C0NSERVATIVE6 ARE BROKEN UP. 1 nitch Among European Socialists About Kaj Day Parades. ISR0ADS ON GERMAN SUGAR TRADE IcorvnionT 1892 et the s. t. abscia'd press.: Berlin, April 9. When the Landtag reassembles April 28, an important regroup ing of the parties will be effected. The negotiations for a rearrangement that are now proceeding point to a coalition of the Moderate Conservative faction, led by Herren, Helldorf and Bauchaupt, with the National Liberals, which will result In the formation of a Cartel party, having some of the best elements of the old Cartellers. Ihe split between the ultra-Conservatives and the Moderates has practically de stroyed the Conservative majority in the Landtag and also places the party at a tre mendous disadvantage of having disorgan ized events at the approach of the general election. There is no hope of mending the breach, the declared divergence in prin ciples being too pronounced. Partisan viru lence is already keen. If a coalition is effected in promising strength, the Govern ment, throwing its influence on its side, will follow its policy on a distinct National Liberal bios. Conservatives Stick to the Education Bill. The Freisinnige party rejoice at seeing the powerful reactionary party disin tegrated. The Moderates who support Herr Helldorf are numerically weak. The bulk of the Conservatives continue in consonance with the Centerists on the primary educa tion bill, and await a chance to avenge themselves on the Government for abandon ing that measure. After the Easter holidays the leaders will announce a new programme which is now being elaborated, the spirit of which is shown in an address to Minister Von Zed litz, signed by 85 members of the Bight in the Upper House of the Prussian Diet, ex pressing their gratitude for his defense of Conservative principles. The public take the political incertitude quietly, though the situation is pregnant with eventual issues. Even the reports of Chancellor Von Caprivi's retiring after Easier in favor of Count Von Eulenburg, do not stir the general pulse. Two Days Proposed for May Day. The preparations of the Socialists for the May Day celebration are keenly watched by the authorities. At a council of the Ministers, Chancellor von Caprivi proposed to influence the employers to refuse the men a holiday if the celebrations are organ ized for Monday, May 2, instead of Sunday. ' The Anstrial Socialists, who have decided to hold their demonstration ou the 2d, de sired the Germans to hold asiultancons cel ebration on tnat day. Dr. Miquel advised his colleagues to treat (he day at a recognized labor holiday, and if the celebra tion was held on Monday to close the Gov ernment factories. Dr. "Miquel even sug gested that the prices at the theaters sub sidized by the Government be reduced, nnd that the military bands be ordered to play in the public gardens. The other Ministers did not go as far as Dr.Miquel wanted them to, but they argued not to oppose the demonstration. Tho Austrian Socialists Are DIsgrnntled. The Socialist leaders have incurred the ill will of the Austrian Socialists by refus ing to make Sunday and Monday holidays. May Day proper alone will be celebrated in Germany. Iu Berlin a number of meetings have been arranged, and the1 public gardens and suburban resorts will be filled with great crowds of workingmen and their fami lies celebrating the day. There will be no big party processions. If the small An archist section attempt to create disorder, they will meet with instant and severe re pression. In Vienna Sunday will be celebrated by an assemblage in the prater to discuss the eight hour question. Another section pro poses to hold a procession, the participants to be attired in blue blouses. Throughout Austria, with the exception of Vienna, the celebration will be held on Mondajr. The want of cohesion among the Austrian So cialists will weaken the effect of the dem onstration. In Pesth the police have been ordered to prevent all meetings and pro cessions. The Socialists will, therefore, be compelled to hold their demonstration out side the city boundaries. Germany's Sugar Trade Falling OtC Consular reports for the first quarter of 1892 show a decrease in trade compared with the same period in 1891. From Ber lin the decrease is 8,000,000 marks and from Hamburg 5,000,000 marks in sugar ex ports alone. This is alleged to be due to the reciprocity treaties ot the United States affecting the German sugar trade to the West Indies and South America. About 1,000,000 marks of the Berlin decrease is in the cheapest kinds of iancy goods, which have hitherto been sent to the Southern States. The negroes now have no money to buy this trash.
