The opinion prevails here among prominent
Pennsylvania politicians Of both political parties
Speaker Randall and Senator Wallace both say
that the bolt Of the Grow faction will result not
only in Il temporary but In permanent split in
the Republican party. Senator Cameron has
expressed nearly the same opinion. The idea
seems to be that the friends Of fdr- Grow have,

| One day last week IN Iishman droyl
around from Eleventh street into Walnut
and stopped his loaded coal-wagon on the cal
track in front of the house for which tht
coal was ordered. There was a ridge O.
| snow from two to three feet high on each
side OF the street-car rails, extending to the
sidewalk, and to back the coal-wagon in
| over that frozen mass of snow was an obvious
impossibility. The 1rishman surveyed the
| scene for moment, and then, grasping the
coal-shoyel which lay OH the top OF the load,
he vent vigorously to work to shovel out q
sort OF cut in the, miniature mountain OF
snow through which to back his load to the
Sidewalk. He had not been thus engaged
Two minutes before street-car came up.

ed the driver of the street-car.
The Irishman continued to shovel away

III! there you coal man; get that wagon

driver.
The Irishman worked on shovellne with a
sweet and pensiye air.

And still the nlshman kept right on, and
the mule seemed to smile softly, as it were,
, at the condition Of affairs. BY this time threo
other cars, carriage, two grocers' wagons,
and dray had accumulated behind, and the.
line was strung ont rs far as the Walnut
Street Theatre.
But the lrishman didn't seem to mind it.
Neither did the mule. The first kept OH
shOyeilng at the snow, and the latter watched
the performance in an absent-minded sort Of
way: Then things began to get lively. The
conductors and drivers of the first three cars
came up and had q swearing bee, the audi
ence consisting Of the MULE the Irishman,
two women, seven men, and twenty boys.
1t was a sympathetic audience, the boys
especially testtfytng their appreciation OF the
efforts Of the drivers by feQuen and en-
couraging "hi-hi's."
But that lrlsflman kept right on shoyellng,
and ever and anon, as lie paused a second to
look reproylngly at the men who were nlak-
ing the air blue with their profane flow of
selected secular language, he glanced atfec-

THE CHRISTIANCYS,
SYMPATHY FOR TIE WoalAy.

Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. C., JAM 15-irs. Christiancl
continues dangerously i'll. Her physician to.
night says that she is threatened with copges
ton OF the brain, as consequence of tho recent
excitement. No one is allowed to see her ex.
cept her parents and her brother. Meanwhile
Mr. ChristtancJs lawyers are preparing to go or
with tho testimony. and this afternoon sub
peepas were issued to number Of
persons resident in this city whe
were expected to give evidence tn
behalf Of sIr. christinncy. Among them are
persons who formerly occupied portions of the
house in which Mrs, Christiancy lives. Inter-
views have been had tonight with the five per-
sons named in the subpGnas, and every one OF
them says that he Knows nothing whatever
against Mrs. Chrisuancy, and does not wish to
be concerned in tho family troubles. It is intl-
mated that the attempt will be made to show by
these witnesses something relative to Mrs.
Chrisdancy's s conduct before marriage, but it is
believed that all these attempts will be failures
CIIl:IsTIANcY. -~:-
1t appears that nir. Christiancy has been sarod
from being thrown out Of court solely by the in
tervenuon OF his friends, who have advanced
the money necessary to pny the lawyers and tho
alimony ordered by the Court Meanwhile.
there is q very strong feeling growing against
uhri=tthhcfhtnself axng public menare now
openly saying TINT man who can confess to
such mental weakness US Christiancy acknowl-
ed0cs in his answer to his wife's bill ought not
to he latrusted with an important diplomatic
mission, and that, II Mr.. Hayes does not make
haste to remove him. his decapitation will be
one Of the carliest acts Of President Garfield.
THE EE1'ORT THAT MRS cI1ISTLASCY
has been and is now seriously i'll turns out IL
the ntest reports are true, to have no founda-
don In fact 4 gentleman who Is thoroughly
couvcrsant with the facts In the case says that
She has not been sick at all, having but slight
nervousness, which her physician thought
could be cured by perfect rest and a respt
from visitors Beyond this he has prescribed
only some simple anodyncs, and has not even
paid her professional visit. Her story Of b.
ing unconscious half the time IS thus shown to
be without foundation.
Mr. AND MRS PEYTOS,
two Of the witnesses Summoned by Christiancy's
counsel, have been seen Tonight, and they say
that they Will not be nblc to throw auy light
upon Mrs Christiancy's alleged escapadc with
Giro at the St James Hotel on Christmas Dag.
They lived at the time at the boarding-house at
which Mrs Chrfst&ancy was stopping, and OF
which Mrs Lugcnbcll subsequently took charge,
but they were not then personally acquainted
with MIS-. Chrfstiancy. As there was no common
table. they did not meet her at meals, and con
have no vivid recollection OF the event
to which aflusion has been made, and which Mr.
Chrdstiancy is especially anxious to establish.
The other two witnesses, both Indies, may b
able to tell different story.

tho Directors, through President Paxon. will
recommend that the Exhibition be disbanded,
tho curiosities removed, and the building sold.
Tho Board has beentn consultation for month
or more, and, after frequent discussions with the
large shareholders, It has been decided to give
up the show. The Directors are now con-

ceipts, which amounted to over $1,000
last, year were, with the exception OF about
<S,00o romalntng In the treasury, expended in
running the place, and several thousand dollars
are necessary to repair the roof and floors. All
Efforts to raise sufficient money to repair the
roof have failed, and the Directors were given
the alternative Of running into debt or closing
the building, and they 1avor the latter course.

cipally by railroad companies. The Enterprise
