Washisgtox, Dee: 22. The report by
cable to-dar of new cases of real Asiatic
cholera at Hamburg has giren aa impetus
to the feelinc in favor of the bill of Sena
tor Chandler to .suspend immigration in
toto for the period or one year. "While Mr.
Stump's bill, leaving the question of pro
hibition to the President, and providing
for a foreign quarantine, is apparently
reasonable, it is feared by many of the
members to whom the correspondent of
The Dispatch spoke on the subject to
day, that to leave to Consuls the work of
giving a clean bill of health to vessels or to
immigrants, in case the President might
not see lit to impose a prohibition, would
involve much risk.
The case is cited of more than one Consul
who was deceived durine the late intense
excitement, when he indorsed the bill of
health given to vessels by loreign sanitary
authorities, only to send over a horrible
pesthouse in the shape of cholera-laden
ships.
Europe Sore to Hate It Again.
Mr. Chandler insists, and he has a host of
followers, that his plan is the only one
-which will insure, as far as lies within the
power of any Government, immunity from
the transportation of cholera to this conn
try, as it i,s absolutely certain there will be
an outbreak in Europe next spring. Of
course, in certain Congressional circles
there is a very tender feeling for the steam
ship companies, which 'is not to be changed
or aflected in any way by the danger of in
troduction of cholera to this country. A
tremendous influence is being brought to
bear by these companies against the enact
ment of the Chandler bill, the agents and
lobbyists of the companies preferring the
Stump bill as one whica might possibly be
rendered inoperative.
The representatives ot the Hamburg
lines, who are the most anxious, would do
well to suppress all reports of new cases of
cholera in that besieged city of Korth Ger
many, if they expect to prevent the pas
sage of a bill that will be practically pro
hibitory. Both the Chandler and the
Stump bills will be favorably reported, one
to the Senate and the other to the House,
and it can be safely predicted that the out
come of the two bills will be virtually a
prohibitory act in some form.
A Month lost in the Senate.
Senatorial courtesy has fooled away the
month of December in the Senate as far as
the anti-option bill is concerned. For fonr
weeks the bill was disenssed during the last
session. It has been before the Senate for
two weeks this session. It would almost
seem that some of its supposed friends are
determined to talk it to death, as nearly all
of the almost interminable and melancholy
speecbes have been made by its supporters.
Senator Washburn, the lather of the bill
in the Senate, is much irritated at the delay,
but he chokes hack his disgust, and when
he insisted to-day that a time be fixed for a
Tote after the holidays, and was opposed by
Harris, of Tennessee, he acquiesced as
gracefully as a Senator always does when
he is informed that "there are a few other
gentlemen -who desire to give their views of
the bill."
Mr. Washburn merely and mildly replied
that the House had pa'ssed the bill by an
overwhelming majority last June; that it
had already been discussed for six weeks in
the Senate; that it had the support of a ma
jority in the Senate; that nine-tenths of the
people of the country were in favor of the
bill; that ninetv-nine hundredths of the
farmers of the country were praying for its
passage, and he thought the discussion
ought to come to an end soon after tbe re
convening of the Senate on the 4 th of Janu
ary. Eerjbody Has to nave a Word.
Of course no vote can be pressed until
every Senator who wants to go on record
ha had his say. Most of the Senators who
are seeking re-election, and whose cases
will be taken up in their State Legislatures
about the middle of January, want to make
speeches tor moral effect upon the bodies
which will re-elect or reject them.
Speaker Crisp is extensively quoted this
afternoon as being in favor of an early extra
session of Congress tor the purpose ot or
ganization and to start the Ways, and Means
Committee well On its way toward a revision
ot tne tariff In regard to the objection
that if Congress once gets under way in an
extra session the danger is that it would
continue and take up nil sorts of subjects,
Mr. Crisp Kays that he has never known Con
gress to refuse to take a recess or to adjourn
at tbe request ot the Committee ou Ways
and Means and he assumes that when that
committee would speak in the contingency
suggested the remainder ot the House would
obey, and that the Senate ould fall into
line.
The Speaker asserts that it will take
months to perfect a tariff bill, but in this he
is probably at fault, as those who have been
studying tbe .tanfi question for years say
they" can perftct a bill within four weeks.
Eeally, tne prospect is that no matter when
Congress meets, several members will come
to the first meeting of the committee with
complete bills protruding lrom their pock
ets. The most of the time that will clspse
before a bill can be reported will be spent
in the wrangtine ot members ot the com
mittee, each of whom wili insist on his par
ticular view of the question.
Only Ainerlcau-Bullt Sh lpg Xow.
Senator Frye said to-day that no more
loreign-built vessels will be granted Ameri
can registry. The City of New Tork and
the City of Berlin, of the In man Line,
will begin to fly the American nag next
week, but they will be the last of their
kind. From this time, he believed and
hoped, no vessel would be permitted o
carrv the Stars and Stripes other than those
built of American timber and by American
labor. The Senator was pleased to know
that the Inman people were contemplatin g

this country, and he would guarantee if
tber did so the venture would payamazing

Th appointment of Allan P. Dickey, to
be Postmaster at Waynesbnrg, Pa., to-day,
marks the end in that office of J. P. Tea
garden, against whom charges of gross 6are
lessness have been pendinc for some time
It is said that Mr. Teagarden has made lit
tle or no attempt to manage his office prop
erly. One instance is cited where a wool
merchant expected a letter with an impor
tant remittance of $5,000, which did not
come. He was fort-M to negotiate a loan at
a high rate, of interest. . Weeks afterward
his letter was found in the postoffice where
it had been lying all the time when it was
wanted. Another charge is that Teagarden
was guilty of offiensive partisanship and
pernicious activity in his opposition to
Ernest AcheEon for Congress.
Another Bridge for Homestead.
Representative Dalzell to-day introduced
a bill for a bridge over the Mnnongahela at
Homestead, to be used Jor steam and street
railwavs and general traffic, to be con

Bridge Company,, upon plans to be ap
proved by the Secretary of War.
Club circles are all stirred up on account
of the latest pnase ot tho'Neville-Howland
feud, which tore up New York and Wash
ington haut ton a few weeks ago, when
Colonel Neville slapped Howland's face in
a box at tbe Madison Square Garden. Both
of these fellows are members of the dude
club of this city, the Metropolitan, and
Howland, a'ter"his victory over Neville in
the New Tork police courts, brought
charges against him in the club, insisting
on his expulsion because one who nad been
convicted and fined in a filthy police court
was not a fit person to be a'meuiber of a
club of gentlemen. The Board of Gover
nors of the Metropolitan hare passed upon
the case. They ignored the charges of
Howland altogether, and merely repri
manded Neville for making a wager of $50
with the late Percy Drayton, which sum is
a higher wager than is "permitted by the
rules of the club, and suspended him for
one week for making public the correspond
ence between him and Howland in regard
to tbe Drayton wager.
It is claimed by clubmen here that How
land is .ostracised by his club associates,
both here and at New York, because he took
his insult to the police court instead of
challenging the offender to fight. Appa
rently it will be some time before society
grows calm alter these absorbing occur
rences. Meantime Colonel ltobert Neville
is treated as though his censure and sus
pension from club privileges were a badge
ot honor.
140 VOTES FOR CRISP.
A Poll of the Next Hoifte Shows
the
Speaker Has a Walkoer.
Washington, Dec. 22. Recent events
have caused a pretty free expression of the
views of the members of the House on the
subject bf the Speakership. The talk of an
extra session early in the spring (which has
now almost completely disappeared) started
gossip'on the Speakership, and the Reform
Club incident aroused a livelier interest in
the question. There have been a number
of quiet gatherings in small groups of mem
bers whose interests and associations were
to some extent allied, and the resnlt is that
the friends of the Speaker now assert with
confidence that he will succeed himself, and
some of them express the belief that the
sentiment in his favor will be lound to be
so strong that Mr. Crisp will have no op
position. The views of a large part of the members
of the House and members-elect have been
ascertained partly, the Speaker's friends
say, throngh voluntarv expressions.
The result is a claim that 140 members
have signified their intention to vote for
Mr.
iinsp lor opcacer oi me nuuse in me
Fifty-third Congress. The Speaker's friends
have been disinclined to give publicity to
the matter, because, as one of his close
friends said, it might look like bnasting on
their part, but the matter became generally,
known when it assumed its present shape.

FIVE ROUNDS FOR A BRIDE.
The Girl Herself the Keferee, and Her De

Mt. Cakmel, Pa., Dec. 22. A desper
ate battle took place here last night caused
by a jilted lover who followed the object of
his afiections'from the eld country to Amer
ica. Here he met his rival. Until six
months ago John Rotoski, Michael Lince
vitch and Mary Donsky lived in a small
town in Hungary. Both men were desper
ately in love with Mary, who finally fled to
this country with John. Upon their ar
rival in New York they were married,
A pugilistic mill last night was to decide
the justice of-the lovers claims. Mary was
selected as referee, and, it is alleged, agreed
to take the victor for her husband. The
men were stripped to the waist. Five
rounds were fought, and both men had their
faces battered almot into a jelly. The
fightt which lasted 40 minutes, ended in
Lincevitch beingknocked out. A font was
claimed on account of Itotojki chewing his
opponent's ear. The girl sided with her
husband's friends, and she was knocked
senseless A riot followed. Weapons of
all kinds were used, and 10 or 12 were
felled with clubs, while several bullets
found their way among the crowd. Nearly
all of tbe 60 participants were badly cut
and bruised, and six of them are in a pre
carious condition. Rotoski, with face all
bandaged up, left to-day for Shenandoah,
accompanied by Mary.

A BOY DIES UNDER OPERATION,

A VICTIM OP ADVANCED APPENDICITIS
New York, Dec. 22. Thejmedical pro
fession is much stirred by a remarkable
surgical operation performed within a few
days by Dr. Albert Shnnk, of this city.
The feat accomplished is the bringing back
to life of a person practically dead, as the
term is usually understood. Among the
many wonderful cases recorded in recent
years, probably not one has been marked
by features as unique as that of 'which
Jimmy McCaughry. aged 12, is to-day the
I living example.
The physician was called to the case late
in the evening and found the patient had
very marked symptoms of "appendicitis."
Though the seat of the trouble waTs not ap
parent, the diagnouis made plain the fact that
the sufferer was doomed, so far as could be'
determined by precedent in similar case9.
On the advice of the physician the members
of the family were advised of the gravity of
the case, and when next morning a very
sizable lump was observable -over the seat
of life inflammation, the diagnosis was fully
justified, and 4he trpnble was exactly stated
to be an abscess aronnd the vermiform ap
pendix. An Operation on a Dylnc Patient.
An operation was at once recommended,
but was delayed until the arrival of rela
tives, who bad been summoned in anticipa
tion of the near approach of death.
The next afternoon the surgeon was
finally called and directed to proceed.
When he arrivd it was discovered that the
abscess was broken, thus covering the in
testines with the liberated matter. In this
crisis, it was clear to the scientific mind
that the boy was dying. The doctor told
the family that .dissolution would take
place within an hour, and though it was
possible that an operation might result suc
cessfully, the chances were many times
against it Permission to proceed was
given, it being understood that in any
event of failure to secure relief, tbe end
would not be hastened more than IS min
utes.! The patient was quickly placed on a
table, and while under tbe influence of a
slight anaesthetic an opening about eight
inches long was made in tbe walls of tbe
abdomen. From the incision there was at
once a plenteous flow of pus. No sooner
had this taken place than 'the pulse ceased
to beat, the heart stopped, the jaw dropped
and every evidence of the most complete
collapse betokened the presence of death.
Resurrected by Surpictt Skill.
The glassv eyes upturned, the coldness of
the extremities and the death perspiration
with which the body was covered left no
doubt in the minds of those present that the
experiment had resulted fatally.
At this point the surgeon's skill was dis
played. With one hand he tore open the
wound, while with the other he emptied
the contents of a pitcher of hot water into
the abdominal cavity. For a brief interval
the fluttering renewal of action was appar
ent only to the 'practiced medical eve, but
soon the pulsation -grew stronger, and ere
long the patient gave unmistakable signs
of returning consciousness. Then the eves
were opened in a dazed sort of a way, as if
the patient was awakening from a deep
sleep.
The action of the hot water having neu
tralized the effect ot the ether that had
been given, tbe patient was assisted to re
tain the ground gained by the administra
tion of hypodermic injections. With a new
lease of life, there was a chance for the
snrgeon to look for the seat of the abscess.
JThe foreign snbstances were fonnd'and re
moved by a most delicate operation, and to
day the patient is convalescent
From the points here given, it is claimed
by medical men that no case of appendicitis
need be necessarily regarded as fatal.
DETECTIVES MYSTIFIED.
They Tackle Probably the Wrone Man for
the Galveston Brown Paper Mystery.
ClxciKNArr Dec 22. It was on the 29th
day of last month that the Island City Sav
ings Bank of Galveston received by the
Wells-Fargo express packages purporting
to contain $35,000. They contained only
brown paper cut to the size of bank notes.
To-day the officers of the Adams Express
Company here were thunderstruck by a tel
egram from the Wells-Fargo headquarters
that the Wells-Fargo Company would hold
the Adams Express Company responsible
for the money.
These packages were carried from Cincin
nati to Nashville by the Adams Express
Company. Charles A. Hardin was the
messenger of the, Adams Company who bad
charge of these packages between this city
and Nashville. To-night it was his turn to
take the run to Nashville. Failure to find
him at first led to the suspicion that he l.ad
run away; but he reported for duty to-night
to go on his regular run from here to Nash
ville. All this evening Hardin has been closeted
at the Burnet House with detectives of the
Wells-Fargo Company. -If Hardin is ar
rested, it will be by the representatives of
Wells & Fargo. It appears quite evident
at this hour (11:15 p. M.) that the Adams
people do not believe Hardin is the guilty
man. He was warned to-day that detectives
were on bis track, but answered that he ex
pected something ot the kind. He an
swered without reserve to-night all ques
tions put to him by the detectives. Hardin
is "in the hands of Wells & Fargo, but is

Philadelphia, Dec 22. It was re

removal of the Delaware river islands.
The annulment was made, it is stated, upon
the recommendation of Major Raymond,
the engineer in charge i f the work of re

engineers. The assigned reasons for an
nulling the contract are tbe numerous de
lays in the work and the inadequacy of the

The contract to remove the river islands
and improve the harbor of the city is a
mammoth one, involving an expenditure of
between 52,000,000 and $3,000,000. The

PITTSBURG , DISPATCH,
READY FOR A DECISION.
But It Tl 111 Take a Week to Take a Tote
of the New Tork Presbytery on BrlgBS'
Case All Arguments and Testimony
Finished.
New York, Dec 22. The trial of Dr.
Briggs was resumed before the New Tork
Presbytery this afternoon. Dr. Lampe
took up the sixth charge, that Dr. Briggs
teaches that salification does not follow
immediately after death. As he under
stood Dr. Briggs'-view, it is that when a
man leaves this world be enters the middle
stare in exactly the same condition as be
left this world, and he is compelled to pass
his existence in the middle life infperfect
ing himself tor the glory that he shall en
joy with God and the Savior after the judg
ment Dr. Briggs' position is contrary to
that held by the Protestant Church.
The claim of tbe accused that such a
mystical change should follow immediately
after death, is not any harder to understand
than many miracles recorded in the New
Testament, or the change that came into
John Bunyan's life and that of "the
wickedest man inNew York" upon their
conversion to Christ
More temper was displayed to-day than
at any previous session. When Dr. Lampe
had concluded his argument, Dr. Henry
Van Dvke moved that as the moderator had
ruled, that Dr. Lampe hsd introduced new
matter in his rebuttal, Prof. Briggs be al
lowed to reyly to it. Colonel McObok de
fended Dr. Lampe, Baying he had intro
duced new argument, not new evidence.
Finally Moderator Bliss ruled that new
matter had been introduced, and gave to
Prof. Briggs tbe right of reply.
Dr. Briggs reply did not occupy much
time. The Professor attacked Dr. Lampe's
historical knowledge. He closed by saying
the court had his defense, and he challenged
the members to judge him by the Scriptures
and the Westminster Confession.
Moderator Bliss then ruled that the case,
so lar as the arguments and evidence are
concerned, is ended. The next thing is for
the court to consider the evidence and argu
ments in detail. It took a long discussion
to choose a time for this, but next Wednes
day was finally selected. The sessions will
be'secret It may take a week to complete
the vote. Close votes on the charges are
expected.

LONDON "IS SHOCKED
By Another Scandal That Dwarfs
Others Already Exposed.
IT AFFECTS HIGHEST CIRCLES
And -Polite Society Is Now Discussing It
In Whispers.
BOUND TO COMB UP IN THE COURT
rnr. cable to Tin: dispatch.
London, Dec 22. Copyright Polite
society is just now discussing with bated
breath one of the most shocking scandals of
the many that have sullied its history. The
scandal will soon occupy the attention of
the divorce court in the form of a petition
for the 'nullity of a marriage which was
presented on the 14th inst by the Rev. id
ward A. Chichester, vicar of Dorking, Sur
rey, on behalf of a most unhappy girl.
The scandal had its origin iin 1874, when
Miss Aline Marian de Hoghton, daughter
of Sir Henry de Hoghton, baronet, head
of an ancient and noble family, became the
mother of a female child in Milan, Italy.
Its father was Alfred Aurelias Clark, a
wealthy man who moves in the highest
society, and whose name figures in the
Court Directory. Clark refused to marry
the confiding girl, the birth of the child
was kepta secret and the mother returned
to society, nobody being the wiser. She
married in January, 1875, an Irish gentle
man of good family. She spent the greater
part of her time until her death a few years
ago on the Continent Clark meanwhile
had married.
The TerrlDIe Plot or a Fiend.
There is reason to believe that the mother
heavily dowered her daughter born at
Milan. v It is not disputed, at any rate,
that Clark posed before the world as the
girl's guardian! Every care was taken
with the girl's education, which until a
few vears ago was received mainly in
France and Italy. In 1887 Clark brought
this daughter from a French nunnery to
Little Hampton, where they stayed at .the
Beach Hotel as guardian and ward. No
pains or expense were spared in perfecting
the young girl of 14 in the various ac
complishments. French and Italian she
spoke naturally and perfectly, and special
teachers were engaged for music and
English, her supposed guardian taking the
keenest and apparently fatherly interest in
her progress.
This life, with occasional trips to neigh
boring places and a short school lite at
Clews, near Windsor, continued until 1890,
when the guardian's wife died. .Some
months afterward he proposed marriage to
his supposed ward and actual daughter and
was accepted. The marriaze took place in
London, and father and daughter thence
forward lived together as man and wife.
In-Mnrch, 1892, the girl, then only 18 years
of age, gave birth to a babv boy, and in
July following "the unhappy child-mother
discovered that her guardian w.as not only
her husband but also her own father and
father of her infant
Also Led a Donble Life.
The awful discovery nearly deprived her
of her reason. She was practically friend
less. The tact of the marriage bad been
kept secret Clark's own two legitimate
daughters, with whom he resided in a
charming mansion in Kensington, knew
nothing of it, and he and his daughter-wife
had lived in another house. Every effort
was made by Clare to coerce the girl into
remaining with him. but she resolutely
relused, and finally obtained the shelter ot
a family, some members of which had as
sisted in her education. These people,
after grave consideration, placed the matter

other than tbe guardian cf the girl, as the
birth of the child iorn in Milan in 1874 was
for various reasons kept absolutely secret,
and adequate'legal proof of the act will in
consequence be very hard to obtain. Clark
was in London to-dav, althongb there yrtie
rumors that he had fled th& country.
DR. MACDNE ARRAIGNED-
By Chairman Washburn of the Eastern J
Division Some Populist Secrets Let Ont
Strong Language Used and a Con
spiracy Alleged.
Boston Dec. 22. George F. Washburn,
Chairman of the Eastern division of the
National Committee, People's party, bas
written a reply to the open letter which
Dr. Macune, of Texas, late candidate before
the Farmers' Alliance, published December
3. Mr. Washburn denies that Macune was
defeated at Memphis through the efforts of
Mr. Taubeneck, of Indiana; and himself,
and that the Executive Committee of the
People's party arranged a slate and estab
lished lobbies at the Indianapolis, St Louis
and Memphis meetings to control the action
of the delegates. He says that Dr. Macune
was continually appealing to the National
Farmers' Alliance for vindication of some
thing he hid never done, simply to get him
self before that body. He continues:
Dr. Macune's "non-partisan" (DemoTattc)
friends made as manv dimes and worked ns
openly for him a did tho Alliance Iriends
ot President Louclc-. Iin allowed his name
to be placed in nomination with that of
President LoncTcs, and did not Withdraw
from the Alliance until be discovered that
ho was defeated. Had he been elected, the
Democratic presi of the conntrv weie reiriy
to announce 1C as a second trreat Democratic
victory, and In this way try to srumcede
Peonle's party advocates back to their
ranks. This was a broad, deep, well-planned
scheme. Hall and McAllister are snltf to
hare been elected to Congress by the Demo
cratic party as their reward for attacking
the Alliance. Macuno is now making t e
most of htsoppoitunlty to secure a reward
at the expense of the AUiince.
At the closeof the St. Louis coherence a
roporter called upon Mr. Taubeneck and
myself and asked us to sucsest "measures
wHlch might bmienc the people." Mr. Tau
beneck talked finance, and I monopoly and
nationalism. We took the precaution to
have our statements written and read to U9.
We then signed them. This all occurred In
tbe presence of W. S. Morgan. These were
never published, but. Instead, two columns
of falsehoods. I now bellevo the whole nr
lair was a hue conspiracy conceived by Dr.
Macune and others. Tin- Democratic pro's
and the lepotter were valuable aids m
springing upon ns one of the most damnable
conspiracies ever conceived, Intending to
destioy Mr. TauDcneckand myself, because
we stood In the breach between them and
their party movement, blocking thoir way,
and tatting their Are lather than see them
succeed In their Infernal schein. At Mem
phis Dr. Macune resorted to every device to
save hlmselt, but In vain. Hi downfall was
of' his own creation, and well deserved.
