Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.
Amboy, Ill, March 17.-This place is
wild with enthusiasm. Fasholdts opera
house is crowded. The churches have clos
ed their doors, and pastors and aocks are
gathering with the masses to see and hear
the spiritual manifestations produced by the
weird and thrilling-eloquent discourses, ser
mons. orations, or whatnot, uttered by Jon.
athan Haskell, 1.-THE Sinners Apostle" as
the Pagans call him.
Atthe close Of the meeting Saturday night
to decide which of the churches should
have him Sabbath forenoon and afternoon.
the ministers proposed deciding the matter
BY drawing lots-as the crew of the ship
Jonah was fleeing to Tarshish In did during
the storm, to decide who the gods were
angry at. Haskell eettled the affair by
speaking at the Methodist Episcopal church
In the morning, the Baptist in the afternoon,
and the opera house at night.
He continues another week At the Rev
Mr.. Campbelrs church.
The vast audiences are swept by some in
visible power that seems strange TO W out

. strain, speaking three times . day, Is in
conceivable. He has the whole Bible In hi

WnATA SPIDER EATS.
Enormous Digestive Capacities Ola Very
Small Insects.

Enormous Digestive Capacities ola Very
Small Insects.
From the New York Witness.
In order TO test what a spider can do in
the way ofeating, We arose about daybreak in
the morning to supply his web with y fly.
At first, however the spider did not come
from its retreat, 10 We peeped among the
leaves, and there discovered that an earwix
had been caught, and was now being Toasted
Oh. The spider left the earwig, rolled up
the fly and at once returned to his "6rst
course" This was at half past 5 q. u. in
September. At Z a. nj. the earwig had
been demolished, and the spider, after rest
ing awhile, and probably enjoying a nap,
came down for the fly, which he had finish.
ed at 9 a. M. A little after 8 We supplied
him with a daddy -leng-legs, which he ate
by noon. AT l o'clock a blow.iy was greed
lily seized, and then Immediately, with an
appetite apparently no worse for his pre-.
vious indulgence, he commenced on the
blow.fy. During the day and toward even
ing a great many small, green flies or what
are properly termed midges, had been
caught in the web of these we counted one
hundred and twenty all dead and fast pris.
oners in the SPIDERS nest.
Soon after dark, provided with a lantern,
we went to examine whether the spider was
suffering from indigestion, or in any other
way, from his previous meals; instead
however, of being thus affected, he was EN-.
ployed in rolling up together the various
little green midges when he took them te
his retreat and tea. This process he repeat.
ed, carrying up the lots in little detach'
ments, until the web was eaten ; for the wei
and its contents were bundled together. A
eight rest of about an hour was followed by
the most industrious web making process
and before daybreak another web WAS ready
to be used in the same way.
Taking the relative size Of the spider and
of the creatures it ate, and applying this to
man, it would be somewhat as follows: At
daybreak a small alligator was eaten at Z
a. NJ, a lamb a, 9 a. M, a young camel-leop-
ard; at 10 O'Clock, a sheep, and during the
night, one hundred and twenty larks. This,
we believe, would be a very fair allowance
for a man for twenty.four hours, and could
we find one gifted with such an appetite and
digestion we readily comprehend how he
might spin five miles OF web without kill
ing himself, provided he possessed the nee.
essary% machinery.

ClNClNNATrs SENSATION.

Cincinnati, March 20.-The excitement
over the murder Of Harry Baldwin last Sat-
urday night is undated. The coroner has
not yet finished his inquest and the entire
detective force of the city have been at
work, although with scarcely a thread of
evidence upon which to base their opera
tons. This afternoon wholesale arrests
were made and the excitement tonight is
intense. The first parties taken were two
sisters, Mollie and Birdie Dalton, notorious
characters, and residents OF the neighbor-
hood where the tragedy occurred. Another
sister is missing and the police are indus.
triously searching for her. Later in the af-
ternoon Kittie Bennett, keeper Of place OF
Elm street, known as "The Little Club
House," with Blanche Rowley, Martha
Bucknir and George Shepard, inmates of
her house, we're locked up at the Central
station with the unbailable charge of s1s.
plcion against them. In one of the rooms
of Madame Benefits house a spot in the
carpet was discovered saturated with a sub
stance supposed to be blood. This was
moved and placed in the hands of a chemist.
One boy witness states that he used TO carry
notes between Baldwin and . girl named
Lille, who was an occupant of Benefits
house and she has disappeared and Madame
Bennett says she has been gone two weeks

and finally laid it aside until it's friends
should call, which they did not do. Theirs
were no petitions from the Hills in its favor,
no kilograms or letters from the officers Of
the county or district. There was not = word
in its favor before him.
On the other hand, there we're many bills,
specially of local interest in Deadwood and
the Black Hills. The governor gave half
of his time to their examination and study
during those trying hours. Measures Of
importance to other localities, perhaps,
failed because the Black Hills had go many
bills. When over half they had urged had
been found to be very bad, it required close
study to do justice. But all the bills Of
any importance to them were approved ex-
cept this. And they were numerous the
act concerning justices of the peace; the
local funding bills (2); the fire warden act;
to relieve the commissioner trouble crsa-
ting q lien for miners and others; providing
for terms of United States court at Dead
wood, and others, besides sill the general
laws Of interest to them. If you call it ia.
vor, did any other town receive 80 much?
The preposterous idea about the veto Of
the insane asylum bill! 1t was not vetoed.
The list of vicious bills that failed would be
longer still, and Issacher had an interest in
favor OF all Of it. Hence, these crocodile
tears.
If the good people of Deadwood wish to
study the style of their representative in the
council, just let them respectfully invite his
attention to this subject at any place on the
street or in a saloon. and then just form a
ring and give him air. He will exhibit the
act with grandeur. He will show how Issa-
cher crouched under all the evil, and how
it oyerburdened him. Even if he shows
excitement and knocks his coat tails over
his shoulders, fear not. There we're no fu-
nerals in Yankton while he was here.

The democrats of the house of represen-
tatives had a caucus on Thursday and en-
gagged in a long discussion on the PROPOSE
ton to confne the business of the session to
the objects contemplated in the call for an
extra session, namely the passage of the
appropriation bills. The sentiment of the
caucus favored this course, but no definite
action was taken, the matter being finally
referred to a committee Of eleven in confer.
ence with a committee of nine from the
senate democratic caucus. 1t must not be
inferred from the temper of this caucus
that there was within it a disposition to
drop the amendments prohibiting the use of
troops at the polls on election day, the re-
peal Of the jurors test oath or the act for
the employment Of supervisors of elections.
The democrats of both branches of congress
stick tenaciously to their first intentions re.
garding these measures. There is under
consideration a proposition for the passage
Of bills concerning those points independent
OF the appropriation bills and sending them
to the president. and In the event of the
Presidents vetoing the bills, then placing
the measures upon the appropriation bills,
and in case he should veto the appropria.
ton bills, with such legislation incorporated
in them then their action will be adhered
10 until further advised by the caucus. This
is the proposition of Mr.. Cox and it will
probably be engrafted into the decisions of
the joint caucus.

Chicago, March 20.-Some excitement is
created here BY the publication OF 4 special
from Toronto, Of cable news said TO be in
the Globe Of that city, to the effect that cat
tie exported in the steamer Brazilian had
upon arrival at Liverpool been found to be
suffering from pleuro pneumonia and had
been slaughtered. 1t said also that most Of
the shipments were from Chicago. The
truth of the report 10 doubted, and certainly
- the assertion that cattle exported from
Chicago had pleuro-pneumonis, - there
has never besn . trace Of that disease found
within the cattle district. It il thought this
