Chicago, Dec. 22.-The papers all
agree in characterizing Sparks con-
duct as that OF blackguard and call
on his constituents TO retire HIM and
send n gentleman back TO congress in
his place.
His previous outrageous conduct In
the case when Clymer opposed some of
his whims, is fresh one, and adds TO
the disgust with which lie inspires even
his political friends. Weaver also comes
in for share Of the blame.
Washington: There is considerable
comment and disappointment that Con
gressmen Sparks and Weaver were per-
mitted to escape the in1iction Of for
NAL censure and the speakers customa-
ry rcprimand, by vote, which dropped
all proceedings against them as soon as
they offered 70 the house simple apol-
ogy. The explanation for this, how
ever, Is the consciousness of q large
number of the members that they were
in no small degree responsible for the
disgraceful scene.

taken up, declaring that the president
of the senate was not constitution
ally authorized TO count the electoral
votes, so as TO determine what vote

rejected. Morgan made a long speech

tion. After an executive session th'
senate adjourned till January 9TH.

A Double Tragedy.

Elizabethtown, KY, Dec. 22-The
widest excitement prevails on account
of a terrible tragedy here yesterday.
David J. Carter and Bud Harrington,
old and wealthy citizens and respected
farmers, quarreled over a lawsuit, when
Harrington shot Carter in the head
probably fatally. Carter's son then
procured a double-barreled shotgun
and emptied both barrels into Harring-
toms body. He fell, whsreupon the
elder Carter, seizing 4 heavy sledge,
deliberately crushed the skull OF the
victim with it, and then fell over him
in apparently lifeless condition. liar
rington awaits the coroner, and Carter
awaits the result OF his wounds. Both
lie in the same house.

Gated on large amonnt of valuable
land in Washington territory, recently

Washington, Dec. 22.-McPherson,
secretary Of the republican congress
sional committee, and ex-clerk OF the
house Of representative, and probably
the best informed man in Washington
rs to the make up Of the next house,
to-day figures it out as follows: Re
publicans, las, regular democrats, 135,
readiusters, ., greenbackers, s; total,
293. In the estimate OF 14S republic
cans, McPherson counts one from New
Hampshire yet to be elected to succeed
Farr, republican. deceased, although
the district is very close and the result
somewhat doubtful. He says, how
ever, that the republicans will not need
to rely on the lis votes thus figured up,
which is only one more than quorum
and three of a majority over all, because
at least five Of the eight greenbackers
are certain to vote with the republicans
in organizing the house and on ordinary
political questions. These five are
Smith, of Brooklyn, who has proclaim
ed himself republican, and Ford,
Rice, Burroughs and IIazeltine, of
Missouri.
McPherson says the list is now we'll
defined and he is entirely confident that
the foregoing estimate will be found
correct.

The Mutual Stock Company Fraud.
New York, Dec. % - Inspector
Byrne's detectives arrested this after
noon, on bench warrant, Michael T..
Coffee, Laurent DeFossa and Charles
Wyant, president, treasurer and secre-
tary OF the Mutual Stock Operating
company" recently supplanted by the
"Guaranty and Income company" at
No. AZ Broadway. They are charged
with obtaining money on false pre-
tences, and have been indicted by the
grand jury.
The history of the swindling opera
tions of tho Mutual stock operating
company extends over an entire year,
in which timo probably rs many as 200
persons have been robbed by it of sums
varying from five TO more than thou
sand dollars. Tho efforts of the stock
exchange have brought about tho final
exposure. The plan upon which the
swindle was organized was neither in
genious nor plausible, but none the less
successful. In November, 1879, the
firm organized the Mutual stock operat-
ing company, electing themselves. The
capital was at first $780, 900, which was
gradually raised to half million. Par
value Of shares was S5. Their circu-
lars and advertisements, which were
scattered everywhere, set forth that the
company possessed key by which its
managers were enabled TO foretell with
certainty tho upward and downward
movements of stocks, and thus were
enabled TO invest tho company's capital
to great advantage. The purchase and
sale of stocks was represented as being
made in the stock exchange through
brokers employed by the company. This
part of the programme was, however
omitted, while the sale of shares went
briskly on and grew until 1t became
necessary to increase the capital.

Aaron Burr's Gallantry.

Colonel Aaron Burr wore loftliness
of mien that could not pass unnotIced

polished and courtly. The appropriate
ciyilities of the drawing-room were per-
formed with grace peculiar to himself.
His whole manner was inconceivably
fascinating He acted upon the princi-
pie that the female were the weaker
sex; that they were all susceptible of
flattery and his great art consisted in
adapting it to the grade of intellect he
addressed. r#... d. .
Such traits of character would ap-
pear to be incompatible with an ele-

of anecdotes might be related as evil
dence of Colonel Burr's quickness of
perception and tact at reply. After his
return from Europe, in 1912, he met a
friend, a maiden lady in Broadway. He
had not seen her for many years. As
she passed him she exclaimed: Colonel

The g, 10000 which George Peabody
left to establish homes for the poor in
London had grown to over $3,500,000
last December, through additions of
rent and interest money to the princi-
pal The trustees of the fund have al
ready housed 1906 persons in 2, $50 sep
arate dwellings, and have made ar
rangements to buy nine acres of land
in Glasshouse street, near the mint;
WhitecrOss street, st. Luke's; Bedford
bury; Great Vile street, Drury Lane;
Peartree court, Clerkenwell and Old
Pve street, Westminster. To cover these
sites with buildings the trustees have
obtained loan of 100000 from the
fund, in yearly installments of $500, 900
and on the condition that the whole shall
be repaid in fifteen years. They calcu-
late that this sum will provide homes
for 10, 900 persons. The average weekly
earnings of the head of each family in
the Peabody buildings last year was
about six dollars, the average rent of
each dwelling about one dollar, and of
each room about fifty cents.-Spring-
