The legislature of Connecticut has
passed an act permitting women to vote
. on school questions and to bold ofllce
.. upon boards of education.
EEVi E. E IIigbt, of Franklin coun
i ty, has been appointed State Superln-
tendent of Public Schools, In place of
. -Mr. "Wlckersham. He will enter on the
, duties of the office April first.
(t Tr Is definitely settled that bot h Houses
. fof Congress will be Republican lu or
ganlzatlon, go that, for the first time in
six years, the undivided responsibility
' for making and executing the laws will
. rest upon the Hepubllcan parly.
. On Wednesday kist the Democratic
caucus of the Senate gave up the strug
gle for control, and set about the prep
aration of a list of names for the minor

The scarcity of fuel In the West is one
of the noteworthy results of the severe
winter. The heavy snow storms.some
of them continuing days at a time, bo
generally imprisoned the farmers that
in Iowa, Minnesota, and other Western
, States the roads have been impassable In
many. towns for weeks.-Hay and corn is
. extensively used for fuel, but there is
. danger of exhausting even that material.
; Farmers say that the winter set in so
. early and severely that much of the corn
. still stands In the fields under the snow,
, and much of their regular fall work was
..of necessity left undone.
The House of ; Reps, at -Harrisburg
i has made a fool of Itself and given a
, good deal of . gratuitous advertising to
. ,the FittBburgliCo?nmercia&'?azetfe, be
, cause a letter in that journal reflected
..upon Mr. Hewitt the Speaker. The
House spent one whole day, over the
. matter and finally passed a vote Expell
ing the Correspondent from tile privel
eges of the House. And now Dr. Pal
. mer the offender Is as conspicuous a
, man as the 'VSpeaker" who stirred up
this tempest. Soma of these gentlemen
, in the legislature hpo very thin - skinned.
There seems to be a genuine temper
ance revival in several of the Southern
, States. SoutU Carotfsa led the way early
In the winter with a stringent llguor
i Jaw, and now. North Carolina has been
( presented by her Legislature with an
, act prohibiting the sale or purchase of
. any spirituous liquors, except wine and
.cider, under heavy penalties. Mean
while Texas has caught he fever and it
,4s predicted will adopt a constitutional
..amendment making totalabstinence the
.law if not the practice lu the land.
There is fresh hope of tu millennium
when the chivalry thus go tack on their
-whisky.
iTijK,MrEUOK .of .Russia was killed
, on the 14th Inst., oy the explosion of
two band bombs which wee thrown
.near him. One of the assassins was
arrested but the other escaped. Several
.civilians were hurt nd one soldier was
.killed. The excitement was -intense.
The Emperor's son assumed the office
-and the court offlcialo at once swore
.allegiance to the new sovereign, and no
further Immediate troulWe Is appertained.
A special sapplement of the Qfcielal
-Gazette contains a statement from the
Minister of the Interior tfcat one of the
chief organizers of the attack on the
Czar, who was.arrested on March ll&h,
has confessed his. complicity in planing
the deed .and cienouueed Roussakoff in
person. Roussakoff, on being shown
tue corpse of the individual who evi
dently threw the second bomb, and who
vat mortally wounded, recognUed his
accomplice. The house from which
Roussakoff obtained the bomb has been
discovered. As soon as the police ap
peared the male occupant of the house
shot himself, but a woman living with
him was arretted. The police found
there a number of grenadee, and a
proclamation stating that the assassina
tion had been accomplished by two
persons. This morning a young man
entered the house and was immediately
arrested, but not until he had fired a
revolver six times, wounding three'
policemen.
Serious Charges Against a Judge.
Nashville, Tenn., March 16. A
resolution was introduced in the House
to-day with a memorial looking to the
Impeachment of Judge C. W. Tyler, of
Montgomery county, on the alleged
grounds of neglect of office, drunken
ness, misappropriations and attempted
assami nation.
"Speculative Risks."
The U. li. Mutual Aid Journal, devot
d to life Insurance, has this to say of
the pernicious "speculative" risk busl
ness: "Another feature of the game Is to
deceive the old, half dead men and
women into signing the documents.
Recently several young men were anx
ious to 'take Insurance' on the life of
their grandmother, but they could not
-persuade her to sign the papers. Final
ly, one of them said, I can do It.' So,
taking another of the party with him,
he went to the old lady and told .her
that he was about to go West, and
thought It would be a good thing to
have a certificate of good moral character
to take with him, and asked her if she
would not sign sueli a certificate. She
readily consented and wrote her name
on the paper he gave her, which was an
application for $5,000 insurance on her
life. Then turning to his comrade, he
said, 'and now you sign It too,' and he
signed as a witness, and the thing was
done; and these parties now have $5,000
insurance on their grandmother's life,
vHHiout her knowledge or content. ."
Fashion Notes for the Ladies.
Puffed short sleeves are fashionable
again for evening wear.
Dotted and flowered Swiss muslin
dresses will again be worn.
Cabriolet bonnets are in high
favor
with ladies of Parisian tastes.
Muslin and lace flchuB and collars bid
fair to take the place of linen collars.
Ginghams of all kinds, plain, plaided,
checked, and striped, will be worn.
Lisle thread gloves will be as fashion
able this summer as they were last.
The new ginghams are beautifully
finished, .fine, and artistically colored
and plaided.
Fancy aprons of sheer muslin and of
silk trimmed with lace and ribbon are
again lu vogue.
Elbow sleeves with a puff at the top
appear on many of the imported dresses
of this spring.
Shirrings and ruffles are seen on all
parts of costumes of cotton printed
goods, where trimmings can be used.
All dressy suits are composed of two
or more fabrics which usually match lu
color, but contrasts in effect.
Bright and positive colors will not be
In fashion except in small bits to give a
dash of brightness to a costume.
Fichus and collars of muslin, lace,
surah, crape, and silk trimmed with
lace are seen in all sorts of ecccntrlo
shapes.
Bordered robe pattern dresses In per
cales, momie cloths, satines, aud lawns
are seen among the new spring and
early summer goods.
The Owl Flits.
On Saturday, Officer Elcholtz, of Lan
caster, armed with a writ from the sher
iff of Dauphin county, arrested at Mt.
Joy, L. M. Gallagher, ex-editor and
founder of the Owl, in which sheet the
libelous Harrisburg itema, which caused
his arrest, appeared lu the spring of
1878. Shortly after the publication of
.the offensive personals he was arrested
.And entered ball on three indictments
in the sum of $1,500. Pending the trial
he evaded it by seeking refuge in
.France. On his return he was iu Mt.
Joy since last summer and his where
abouts was known to the authorities.
Hie .arrest was evidently unexpected.
The .officer accompanied him to his
home, and dinner over, the prisoner
askedo go up stairs for a change of
clothes, and also asked his custodian to
' go with Mtn. He was permitted to go
alone and the officer waited in vain for
his retura, and on Instituting a search
found " that the bird had flown."
Elcholtz appeared exasperated and left
muttering all sort of revenge. JIarrti

Fifllit at a Funeral.
Chicago., March 9. The funeral of
Michael Calahan, a victim of the small
pox, took place yesterday. The friends
of Calahan being refused a special train
.on the Northwestern Railroad, engaged
.express wagons . and drove the-entire dis
tance to Calvary Cemetery. At the gate
of the cemetery only three pall bearers
carried the coffin. They requested the
fourth to assist, but he refused. The
corpse was thrown Into the center of a
rubbish pile and the pall bearers began a
fight, which was finally participated in
by all present. Picks and shovels were
used, and a number of the mourners
'were badly injured. Meanwhile, the
coffin was lying face downward. Some
of the female relatives tried to turn it
over, and in doing so wrenched off the
lid. The corpse rolled down the slight in
cline toward the, road the women shriek
ing and the men yelling, while the
crowd, fearing the disease, began a stam
pede. A despatch was sent to Chicago
for the Health Officer, who went to the
scene. The mourners returned to town
this morning, bearing severe marks of
the battle.
What was found In a Tree.
A recent dispatch from Bloornlngton,
111., says : " Yesterday an old oak tree
on the Macdougall place, near the Liv
ingston County line, was chopped down
and as It fell with r crash, out of its top
was jolted a bunch of snakes In a torpid
condition. The most remarkable thing,
however, was the discovery In the trunk
of the tree of an old white lead can, over
the top of which was tied a piece of
cloth and In which Was found $415 In
coin. The money was wrapped In a
piece of a Chicago newspaper of 1801.
It Is supposed that the money was se
creted there by old Mr. Macdougall,
now dead, who owned the place during
the war, and who feared a raid on ao
count of his rebel sympathies.
the Cost of Flogging Women.
Ex-Warden John C. Plllsbury, of the
State 'prison at Concord, has settled
actions brought against him by Mrs.
Ella M. Bowers and Miss Clara E.
Gould, two young women, ex-prlsoners,
whom he caused to be stripped and
whipped by the prison matron while
they were In his charge. The sum of
$150 has been paid to each rather than
have the cases come to trial. Plllsbury's
counsel claim that friends of the ex
Warden made up a purse and settled the
case without his knowledge.
It Is a Swindle.
The Board of Police of New York
yesterday received a communication
from the District Attorney of Louis
ville, Ky., asking the board to break up
what is advertised as the Frankfort
Bchool-fund Lottery, as there Is no
drawing of any lottery at Frankfort,
Ky., and the whole thing Is a swindle.
Movable Real Estate.
The Kansas river is rising rapidly ,and
has cut away six acres of valuable pro
erty on the Kansas City side, about
three-quarters of a mile above the Stock
Exchange. One end of the Kansas
City Glue Factory has fallen into the
stream, The people living in the vicin
ity are moving out of their houses.
A Quick Death.
On Monday a little girl, the only
daughter of William Ward, Jr., living
at the corner of Eighth avenue and
Seventeenth street, was taken ill with
scarlet fever and the next day she died
from the attack. If our city streets are
not cleaned we may yet have an epidem
ic as a result of municipal fllthiuess.
AUoona Tribune,
EST A. tornado passed over a consider
able part of southwest Missouri on
Tuesday night of last week, accompa
nied by rain and hail. At Galena, just
across the Missouri line, it demolished
some fifteen buildings, and mortally
wounded two persons and severely In
jured six others. The large tabernacle
was completely destroyed, several build
ings were blown down at Joplln, but
at Carthage the damage was slight.
IW If liquor drinking and bar-room
loafing is respectable, why is it that bar
rooms during the evening have their
windows guarded by curtains? Other
places of business are not so guarded,
no one being afraid to be seen there !

St. Louis March 10. Robert L. Lindsey
who was arrested yesterday by United
States Special Agent P. D. Tyrrell on
obnrgeof conspiracy to defraud the gov
ernment out of lands by issueing false
detds under fradulent titles, is regarded
by Tyrrell as the chief conspirator. Oth
er and very Important arrests were made.
Those arrested so far are Orland Van Rise,
Jonn K. Corwln, lawyers or real estate
agents at Cleveland, George Linn, of Lyn
dale, near Cleveland ; Addison F. Burns,
real estate agent, and H. R. McC'lellan,
notary, Pittsburg. There are still others
implicated in tbe swindle In New York,
Phila., Chicago, and other cities, and ad
ditional arrests may be looked for at any
time. It is estimated that several million
acres of land will revert to the government
when the affair is straightened out.
t&Mrs. Hatch or Mrs. Reilly (she
bore these names alternately) was for six
years nnable to make a final choice be
tween two husbands in St. Leuis. She
was remarkably handsome, and the two
men were deeply in love with her, while
she seems to have been about equally in
love with each, and was bound to each
by a marriage ceremony. She deserted
one and went to the other four times, on
each occasion declaring that her decision
was final. A few days ago she left Reilly
and began proceedings for a divorce pre
paratory to a hew marriage to Hatch. The
rival husbands had for years threatened to
kill each other. They agreed to meet in
the office of a mutual friend, who desired
to make peace between them ; but each
armed himself with a pistol, and on sight
they drew tbe weapons. Reilly was the
quickest, and Hatch was shot dead.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, March 16, 1881.
Mahone, of Virginia, Is now one of the pow
ers In the Senate. In fact, no man since the
formation of the Government has In bo short a
time after becoming a member (one week)
occupied as prominent and Influential a posi
tion in tbe higher branch of onr Congress. It
is well known that the reorganization of tbe
Senate has agitated both parties since the
calllDg of the extra session. The question
has been shrouded In much doubt, because of
the uncertainty of the action of Senator
Mahono, for by bis vote the question of Repub
lican or Democratic ascendency was to be
settled. On Monday the matter was brought
to a climax, and In a rlngiDg speech the Vir
ginia Senator declared his Intention of acting
according to the dictates of his mind, and to
vote for what he thought to be the best Interest
of the section he represented. He then voted
on an Important issue with the Republicans,
and at the same time gave It to be understood
that on all parly matters be should stand with
the Republican party. There Is much specu
lation as to the causes which Induced this
Senator to so completely abandon his old party
associates. Many hint at personal gain, others
at official favor, based somewhat upon the fact
that on Tuesday President Garfield sent him a
handsome basket of flowers but from my
knowledge of affairs here, I thiDk Senator
Mabone is sincere In his determination to act
with the Republicans, and that he truly be
lieves such action to be for the best Interest
and welfare of his State and section.
After the developements of Monday, the
Democrats have, of course, given up all hope
of organizing the Senate, and like tbe sensible
men they are, have determined to accept the
case as It stands and name their representa
tion on the Committee In the ratio of four
Democrats to five Republicans. The Republi
cans, when Congress meets In December will
again have full control of the Legislative,
Executive and Judicial branches of the Gov
ernment. One thing rather remarkable concerning the
pressure for office made upon the President
and his Secretaries last week, was that the
great proportion of applicants were after
places away from Washington. In fact, the
uncertainties of Department life here are be
coming so well known that the demand for
places at head-quarters is becoming less each
year, while for outside places greater.
Tour correspondent bus been allowed the
privilege of viewing an object of rapidly
Increasing Interest in scientific circles. It Is
no mors or less than a genuine body turned
by tbe forces of nature into stone, or as Is
termed "petrified." This body was found by
Dr. W. C. Ren f raw, of Rnsselvllle, Arkansas,
at a pleasure resort, "Eureka Springs." The
body was found about four feet below the sur
face, and probable rested there tor centuries
before discovered, at least the figure is not like
any seen upon the American continent at this
day. The body was brought here for examin
ation by the scientific gentlemen of the Smith
sonian Institute. It proves a hard nut to crack,
and while they acknowledge its great antiquity
each one rejoices In a theory of bis own con
cerning It's origin. Some of them call it a
work of ancient art. But If this be true,
sculpture has not advanced any in thousands of
years, which we know to be untrne.
