Death of an Eminent Journalist.

The death of Col. Forney, though occasion
ed by Bright's disease of the kidneys, was quite
sudden when it finally occurred He left his
home in Philadelphia for Washington three
weeks ago, feeling unusually well. While in
Washington he was caught in thunder
storm, and before gaining shelter was drench-
ed with rain. He remained in Washington butla
few hours, going direct to New York, where he
stayed a day and returned home. He COM
planned of severe cold, but was otherwise in
good health. On Wednesday, Nov. so, he was
Frustrated, asd DR.. Getchell, who was called
at once, pronounced the attack to be of an un-
usually serious nature. All that medical
skill could do was of no avail, and Col. For
ney, borne down by weight of years and hard
work, sank gradually, his mind at times
wandering, and at other times clouded, almost
to insensibility, until a. m. on the 9th, when
he expired.
Col. Forney was in the Gath year of his age.
He entered the field of journalism in Philadel-
phia thirty-six years ago, and might be said
to have made Buchanan president.
His services not being appreciated,
he left the Democratic party and
acted with the Republicans, until last year,
when he supported Hancock. For many years
he published the Press in Philadelphia and
Chronicle in Washington, and became
widely known as proprietor of two papers,
both daily. He sought to use his papers as
political machines, and hence they were not
a success financially. They enabled him to
secure the secretaryship of the senate and
some other official patronage. Six or
eight years ago he retired from the Chronicle,
and it soon after expired. Two years ago he
sold the Press, and for about year has been
publishing weekly literary paper called the
Progress. He was politician more than
journalist, and his fame was won on the polit-
ical field

lumber, and pledge themselves that not an
inch of any other lumber will be devoted to
the manufacture of relics; SO that when this

Hamilton and Smith Held to the Grand
Jury in $500 Bail Each.
The preliminary examination Of W. D.
Smith and j. Hamilton, the men charged
with having blown open the safe in Breen
& Young's office, took place in the munic-
ipal court yesterday morning. The de-
PENDANTS were represented by G. O'Brien,
and County Attorney Eagan appeared
for the state. The valise from near
where the men were first seem, contain
ing a brace and number of bits and
drills, a can of powder, a tin
tube and lot of fuse, and
the revolvers taken from the prison
ers were shown, as also the pieces Of a
board which had been bored into and
split. After officers Murphy and Lowell
had testified as to the manner of the ar
rest, G. G. Miles was placed on the stand
by the state, illustrated how, in his opin-
ion, the implements on exhibition had
been used in operating upon the safe:
Mr.. Breen testified as to his loss and
also to having brought civil action for
damages against the defendants and
having attached the money
and valuables belonging to them
in the hands of the police The defense
then made motion for the discharge of
the defendants, on the ground that no
proof had been adduced to show that they
were the persons who entered the build
ing. A short argument followed, Mr..
O'Brien seeking to enforce the statement
of the prisoners when arrested, that they
had been in the lumber yard opposite the
office with some girls, and Counsellor
Egan scouting this statement as unwor-
thy of credence. and pointing out the cir
cumstantial character of the evidence.
Judge Burr held each of the men to the
grand jury in $1,000 bail, in default of

THE strange spectacle presented in
the court, in the trial Of Guiteau, has
greatly taxed the patience Of the people,
and has derogated largely from the dig
nifty of the court, which certainly has
greatly forfeited public confidence and
respect. But it has all resulted in giving
the assassin scope enough to show jury
men and spectators that he is sane, not
withstanding the effort of the defense to
prove his insanity. This is some COM
pensation for the wild scenes in the
court room, and forces the lconviction
that the villain, with too much method
in his assumed madness, will not escape
the gallows.

THE Mormon theory in justification of
a plurality of wives is, that these marri-
ages are the direct results of divine in
spiration. The other day the Mormon
president, John Taylor, the successor of
Brigham Young, was "inspired' to
marry ga wealthy widow" and the
ceremony was performed in the new
Mormon temple at St. George. In add
ing a wealthy widow to his already
plethoric harem, the suspicion naturally
creeps in that "filthy lucre" was the
source and spring of the inspiration
rather than the divine afflatus.

There was large attendance at Unity
fair, which was held at Market hall last
evening, the assembly being even larger
than that on the opening night. All the
tables were well patronized, especially
the supper table, and the managers are
delighted over the success of the enter
prise. Almost all the articles offered at
the various stands and tables were dis
posed of, and the remaining will be sold
at private sale. All who attended the
fair were more than well pleased at the
entertainment afforded them. The re-
ceipts are about $1,000, from which a
handsome sum will be realized for the

APROBLEM TOB BE SOLVED.

For the six months ending the 51st inst.
the value of competition in the transport
tation of fuel and the staple articles of
daily consumption between the West and
the seaboard cities, has been fairly tested,
and, it must be admitted, with results IN
favorable to the generally accepted the
ory that cheap transportation rates inure
to the benefit of the consumer and pro-
Queer During this period the output of
Eastern and Western coal mines
has been satisfactory, and am
pie to meet the demand for
household, manufacturing and export
purposes. Eastern jobbing prices during
this time, for hard and soft Goals, have
not exceeded the average annual prices
for the five years last past, and, during
the third quarter of the current year
eastern prices have been exceptionally
favorable to consumers.
These data, when considered in con-
nection with the ruling rates governing
the movements of heavy freights
during the last six months-in
many instances being almost nominal,
---are not calculated to strengthen the
theory that the producer and consumer
are to find relief only in reduced local
and through rates of rail transportation.
1t is conclusive as to this issue that if the
manufactures of our leading cereal, and
eastern coal for western consumption,
could not be laid down to the consumer
during the last six months, when sub
jected to only nominal transportation
charges, the remedy must be sought else
where as well as in low rates of freight
in solving the problem of cheap trans
portation.
In the eastern markets Minnesota
brands of flour have ruled higher during
the last six months than during the same
period last season, after allowing for the
difference in the price of wheat during
the two periods. The same is true of hard
and soft eastern Goals in the st. Paul
market, during the same time. While
low rates for the transportation of west
ern products and the staple articles of
daily consumption are necessary to the
prosperity and healthy growth of our
commercial aud industrial interests, yet
1t is becoming more and more apparent
that, this point gained, the more willy and
truculent enemy of the producer and con-
Observation-Disclosures ready to defy
public sentiment and challenge any rule
of action interposed for the protection of
the public interest. The recent action Of
the chamber of commerce of this city,
looking to an investigation of these evils,
is both proper and timely. There is
for these wrongs remedy, and
the sooner it is ascertained
and applied, the better for the future of
our city. If combined capital, in league
with transp ortation lines, seeks to con-
troll every avenue and channel of COM
merce, at transportation rates not open
to the business public generally, the rem
edy for the evil is more easily suggested
than applied. In the effort to emancipate
themselves from either real or imaginary
grievances the people are generally sue
cessful in the long run, but
with success there generally comes
a train of evils overriding
vested rights and customs and usages,
more to be dreaded than the evil COM
planned of. It'll is to the conservative
