Resolutions Passed by the Union
League Club.
Terrible Accident la - Catholic
Church.
NEW YORK. March S.

NEW YORK, March S.
The Union League Club met to-
n~ight-John Jay presiding; Governor
Marshall, Jewell, Peter Cooper and
Judge Peabody on the platform. Res
olutions were passed that the Repub-
lean party, after commanding great
majOrities in the States, in Congress
and in the national canvass, finds itself
now in power only by the balance of a
single electoral vote aud confronted by
a possible majority Of the people and
by an actual majority OF the House of
Represe natives, u supremacy in the
future will depend not on a a of
merit in our adversaries, not in IA no.
BILE achievements in the past, but on
the real character and dOings of the in
coming Administration. 1t has been
asserted that the dimunition in our
prestige and majorites is due to putting
unworthy men in office and surren-
dering to party dictations; therefore
resolved, that greater strength and
stability will be secured by absolute
fidelity to pledge to maintain sound
principles OF right and the honor of
the whole people. That in President
Hayes letter Of acceptance these prin-
ciples were fOreshadowed and in his
inaugural address fidelity to public
pledges Ia recognized az well as a
statesmanlike comprehension of con
ditiuns upon which the p~acification of
States, prosperity of business, reform
in civil service, and the honor of the
nation can be secured, and so long as
his administration Is faithful to these
principles it will receive the support OF
this club. That in nominations for the
Cabinet we recognize President Hayes
good faith to his avowed principles
and a desire to pacify discordant ele-
ments and bring the different portions
of the Union into harmony, and the
nominations ought to be at once O n
firmed.

A sad disaster occurred tonight in
the Church of st. Francis Xavier, Six
teenth street, in this city. Father
Langcake vas preaching a sermon
and had been speaking about ten min
utes when u woman went into a hys-
terical fit In the galleries on the side
OF the church towards Sixth avenue
This created quite a stir aud commo-
ton, which increased in the endeavors
of the crowd to find out what was the
matter. AT this juncture a cry OF fire
was heard and q rush was made for
exit from the gallery. The door was
blocked for a moment by q very large
number Of women and this check
caused the panic to increase ten-fold.
The crowd hurled the women down
the steps in the rush that followed.
Seven persons were crushed TO death,

case of a severe storm he invariably takes

His landlord stated to me that during the
past year, Train had not missed above
forty nights from his roof. Even the
coolest nights of last winter found him
there. He never wears any covering to
his head and allows himself but one
regular meal day, which he takes at

morning with every pocket crammed
with candies, fried-cakes and crullers.
In paper bag he brings half peck of
peanuts. This stock he parcels out to
the children and birds during the day.
The birds partake first of his bounty in
the morning. They have become so ac-
customed to his hospitality that the
ground about his seat will be covered
with them the moment he arrives. They
alight on his head and shoulders and eat
from his hand, dozen at time. The

A Spiders Fatal Bite.

The Providence Journal says A week
ago last Thursday morning, Martha
Caesar, a colored woman forty years of
age, and wife of James Caesar, proprie-
tor of restaurant at 116 Wickenden
street, was awakened from sleep by a
stinging sensation in her under lip, and
found that she had been bitten by some
insect. AS the rude cabin in which they
live, on Babcock street, is infested by
numerous spiders, she supposed that
one of them had crawled upon the bed
while she was asleep. During the day
her lip panied her severely, and at night
1t was badly swollen, and had turned to
purple color. She applied poultices
and such simple remedies, but the swell
ing increased during Friday and Satur-
urday, and the pain extended to her head
and limbs. On Sunday DIR. Mathews
was called and found that the poison had
made its way into her system SO rapidly
that there was but slight hopes of her
recovering from its malignant Effects
However, he prescribed soothing medi-
cines and applied poultices, which re-
duced the swelling somewhat. On Mon
day Mrs. Caesar lost the control of her
limbs, and was obliged to lie down on
her bed, from which she never arose.
On Tuesday she gradually became un-
conscious, and her face was swollen be-
yond recognition, but she was suffering
terribly. She died at $40 on Wednes-
day night.

Miss Westerns Pin.

Miss Western, of 122 Forsyth street,
told the story of the loss on Saturday
evening of her 81 400 diamond breast
pin. She had stopped under the gas
lamp at South Fifth avenue and Bleeck-
er street to look at an advertisement con-
tanning the number of house she was
in search of, when a man suddenly
grabbed the pin. He used such force
that the thick velvet to which the pin
was fastened gave way and the whole
front of her dress was torn out. The
thief ran up Bleecker street toward
Broadway. For an instant the force of
his attack stunned Miss Western, but as
soon as she realized the situation she
gave chase. She is stout built, and not
framed for very active exertion, but, t,not-
withstanding this, she kept almost
within an arms length of the thief all
along the block in Bleecker street, and
down Greene to Houston, where he was
collared by Officer Watson. The specta-
Gle OF a stout lady flying through the
street after man at 10 o'clock in the
evening drew a large crowd, which did
not wonder any the less when Miss West
ern's friend, who if stouter than herself,
approached in condition resembling
Mysteries. Miss Western had. obtained
a good look at the the thief when under
the gas lamp, SO that she hadino difficult
ty in Identifying him. He gave his
name as John Murphy. He denied the
charge, although Miss Western gave
him her word to let him go if he would
tell her where the cross would be recov-
cred. He was remanded to give the
the officers time to catch an aocomplice
to whom he handed the cross.

Cooperation Among Horse Thieves.

Detectives have discovered the ex-
istence of regular organized society of
horse thieves, with officers, signs, grips,
and passwords, who have been commit
ting depredations in Western Ohio for a
long time and selling the st olen proper
ty in Fort Wayne and vicinity. Mem
bers go by numbers instead of names,
and divide the proceeds of all thefts
equally among themselves. These facts
have come to ght through the state
ments of one Thomas alias Crawford,
who was arrested at Fort Wayne while
attempting to sell horse stolen by him
in New Madison, Ohio.

that no class in this country has mo-

inherited wealth, which, in majority

enough for. The cause of the working

Death of THEIRS.

Louis Adolphe Thiers, EXP President of
the French Republic, died suddenly on
the 3rd inst, at st. Germain. He was
born of humble parents in Marseilles,
April 16, 1907. He was educated at the
lyceum of his native city and the law
school of AK, where he practiced at the
bar from 1918 to 1921. Then he went to
Paris, and into journalism.
For nearly half a century he has filed
France and almost the world with his
fame as journalist, historian, orator and
statesman. No one in France has had a
larger share in moulding her destinies,
and nearly all his life has been one long
battle for liberty and constitutional gov
ernment.
His first office was under Louis Phil
ippe; when he brought France through
the dark days of the Commune to the
present Republic. M. Thiers was a
statesman of the very highest order, and
his career, which extended over perhaps
the most important period of French
history, forms large portion of the an
mails of his country.

gy Some time last week Mrs. Scriven,
of La Grange, whois now in Tennessee,
dreamed that her grandchild, child of
Mr.. d. A. Dansby, was dead, Going to
sleep again she had the same dream, and
had it four times that night. Night be
fore last the little child suddenly became
i'll, and though medical aid was sum-
moned the child, to all appearance, died.
Animation was suspended, and so far
as any one could tell life was extinct.
In four or five minutes the child revived.
In minute or two the same thing was
repeated, the moribund condition lasted
the same length of time, and this oc-

had nothing to do with the illness and
suffering of the child, but the two things
form strange coincidence. The little
sufferer is still alive but is quite Ill.

and the question of hiring more, when
they go away, or of giving up the exper-

time of many of them is expiring, but
they stay on, and it would not be strange
If quite number of them, becoming
civilized and Christianized by their
wholesome surroundings, should come
to look upon the town as their home. A
remarkable occurrence the other day
was the return of one, named All Guy
from his home in China. He went home
two years ago, after working, at shoe
making four years, and, after spending
all his money, wrote to Mr.. Sampson
asking if he would take him again. Get
ting favorable reply he came, and is
now at his old bench.
