Mrs. Franklin Steele.

A telegram was received in this city last
evening announcing the death in Washington,
at 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, of Mrs.
Annie E. Steele, the widow of the late Frank
lin Steele.
Mrs. Steele had been an invalid for yeBr
or so, though her death was doubtless has
tened by the sudden shock she received in the
unexpected death of her husband, from
which she seems never to have
rallied. She was about IS years
old; married in April, 1S43, in the city of Bal
timore She was the daughter of Hon. VIM.
C. Barney. Her grandfather was the dstin-
guished Commodore Barney of revolutionary
fame. Her grandfather, on her mother's
side, was Samuel Chase, one of the signers of
the declaration of independence, and subse-
quentIy one of the judges of the supreme
court. Mrs. Steele was lady of rare accom-
plishments, unsurpassed conversational pow
ers, liberal and generous to the poor, and the
central figure of her once happy home. She
leaves eight children to mourn her loss.
We are not in possession of the particulars
attending her death, and can only announce it
to this community in which she had so many
warm personal friends, all of whom will be
greved on reading this short notice of her
sudden and unexpected death.

We Should Remark.
Under the head of "tall lying" the Pic

Under the head of "tall lying" the Pio-
neer Press, yesterday morning, said
That there is tremendous amount of lying
somewhere in this Senatorial contest is very
evident, and the Republican legislative caucus
to be held tonight will show the public and
such members as may have been deceived by
it, on which side it is. After careful re-can-
vass of the whole field yesterday by
the friends of all the candidates opposed
to Mcmillan, and careful compari-
son of notes as to the standing of each MEM
ber, founded on his own statement of it, it
was ascertained, as the concurrent conclusion
of all the parties, that McMillan's utmost
strength would not exceed forty-five votes, or
possibly forty-six, though this number in
cluded at least half dozen very doubtful
ones, which were claimed for him, as was
believed without proper warrant. On the
other hand it was the concurrent judgment
of all the friends of the opposing candidates
having knowledge of the details of the can
yass that the combined strength of the field
against Mcmillan was at least seventy five
votes, and was possibly seventy-eight.
That there is room for unconscious decep-
ton on both sides is true enough. But the
difference between the two estimates are SO
wide apart that it cannot be accounted for in
this way 1t is evident that somebody is out
rageously lying, and the caucus tonight will
decide on which side it is

Il CURIOUS SUIT.
John Wann's Claim in Court Against T..
III. Kelly, Based on a Stock Speculation
in the Fall of 1879.

John Wann's Claim in Court Against T..
III. Kelly, Based on a Stock Speculation
in the Fall of 1879.
The suit of John Wann against p. II. Kelly,
claiming balance of profits to be due on
speculation in Northern Pacific common stock
in November, 1879, was submitted to Judge
Nelson yesterday. 1t appears that Mr.. Kelly
sold short 300 shares of the sto ok, and with
out any definite understanding admitted John
Wann and E. B. Gibbs to shares in the deal.
While the deal was pending Kelly had from
Wann and Gibbs what he understood as an
agreement to close their joint transaction
whenever profit of two points could be
made. When this was reached he settled with
Wann and Gibbs, paying each
s215.66 as their shares of the net
profits at that pointer rather at something
above, being little over the average of the
day when the stock fell two points below the
selling price. But, desiring to continue the
deal on his own account, he merely paid the
parties their shares of the profits to that time,
and thereafter carried the deal for himself, and
made nearly five points more before he ended
the transaction. In continuing the deal on his
own account he saved about S75 in expenses
he wonld have incurred in closing the one
transaction and beginning another. The whole
transaction was in his name, and he furnished
the capital Tor crediD on which it was carried.
1t is conceded that if he had instructed his
brokers to stop the deal at two points Wann
would have had no further claim. Capt Gibbs
makes none. 1t is apparent that in making bis
statement or announcing the close of their Joint
deal he released Wann and Gibbs from
any obligation in the matter. But Wann now
sues for about $3.50, claiming that he is en-
titled to third of Kelly's profits beyond the
two points at which he was authorized and in
structed to close the joint DEAL
Some curiously involved law questions arc
broached in the case, and the evidence of the
principals conflicts. But Mr.. Kelly, SO far rs
the statement above goes, appears to be con-
firmed by Capt. Gibbs, (who testified to his
satisfaction with the transaction) and Mr.. Bar
clay, Mr.. Kelly's clerk, and the discrepancies
are mott extraordinary in such a transaction, de
fepding on of:hand agreements and casual,
hasty conferences.
The court has the papers and arguments,
and friends of the parties are curious TO know
what the court will make of the case.

House of Represcnfatires.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Bills were reported
as follows:
By Mr.. Colerck-From the committee on
elections, minority report, declaring neither
G. c. Holmes nor w. T. Saph had been legal
ly elected from the Eighth Congressional dis
trict of Iowa. Also minority report in the
case of Wilson, West Virginia, and Carpenter,
from the Ninth Congressional district of
Iowa. Both reports ordered printed and laid
on the table.
By Mr.. johnson, Virginia-From the CON-
mittee on military affairs, for the relief Of
Brigadier Gen. and Brevet Major Gen. E. o. G..
Ord. Referred to the private calendar. 1t au-
thorizes his retirement with the rank, pay and
emoluments of major general.
The House then went into committee of the
whole, Covert of New York in the chair, on
the funding bill. The pending amendment
issue of bonds in amount not exceeding
S65, 900 900 which shall be at interest at the
rate of per cent. redeemable after - years.
F. Wood hoped the gentleman from Penn
sylvania (Randall) would explain his position,
which was rather novel.
Mr.. Randall said he had never thoroughly
understood the difference between bond and
/ u.
He desired merely to simplify the bill by max
| ing the debt of one description.
F. Wood couldn't see the necessity for a
change from the historical practice of the
country.
Mr.. Townshend, of Illinois, offered an
amendment to Randall's amendment fixing the
amount of bonds at 400,090,000 and the
| amount of notes at $500, 100000. He denied
| the statement which had been made on the
1,o+ 10 o1 haul
| to take per cent. bonds would be to destroy
the national bank system. II
the bonds now held by national
| banks were per cent. bonds their annual
profit would be s6,100,00O. The national
banks to-day held monopoly upon the circu-
| lation of the country. His amendment au-
thorized the secretary to issue $500, O,O0O 600 in
| treasury notes, so that if the national banks
should refuse per cent. bonds and retire their
circulation, the currency would not be con-
| tracted.
| Mr.. Randall modified his amendment to read
as follows The secretary of the treasury is
hereby authorized to issue bonds or certificates
| in an amount of not exceeding $3.50, 0,000, 900,
| which shall bear interest at the rate of PEI
| cent per annum, redeemable at pleasure of the
government after two years from the date OF
| issue.
| Mr.. Mills offered an amendment to Randall's
amendment, making the bonds and certificates
redeemable iii one year and payable in ten
| years.
Mr. Young, Tenn, thought that no kind ol
refunding was necessary.
| Mr.. Hurd took occasion to declare that he
had been consistent, both in Congress and in
his campaigns, in the presentation of his finan.
cial views. He had always maintained that
the demonetization of silver had worked an in
justice to the people, and he had
urged, when reconciliation took place, that
silver and gold should stand on the same basis
but he had, and still believed, that specie re-
sumption, based on q silver dollar of 41214
| grains, was delusion and snare.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Wisconsin Family Murdered and Gre
mated.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. ia horrible tragedy
occurred four miles from Oshkosh. A wealthy
German named Viskow lived on a farm. Last
night neighbors discovered his barn on fire,
and on arriving on the ground, the barn,
granary and house were discovered to have
been set on fire and locked. A daughter was
discovered lying near the gate, bleeding from
two large gashes in her head and her clothes
partly burned. After the fire the remains of
Mrs Viskow were found. Enough remained
to show that her throat had been cut from ear
to ear. Suspicion had fastened on Mr.. Viskow,
but his body was since found in the ruins of
the barn burned beyond recognition. The
family relations had been unhappy, and it is
thought Viskow killed his wife and daughter
and fired the premises, meeting his own death
in the pyre. The daughter is insensible and
will probably die. The family had lived un-
happy Some of the neighbors, however, lay
the deed to tramps.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-The Times says the

ELECTIONS.
LANGFoRD, Jan. 13.--Three hundred and
fifty police and squadron of dragons are
at Drumlish and infantry is expected The
whole force will proceed to assist in serving
ejectment notices on Lord Granard's property.
The people are armed with bludgeOns and
pitchforks, but encounters will probably be
avoided by exertions of the parish priest.
The threatened disturbance at Drumlish has
been averted. The parish priest addressed the
people, whereupon some laid aside their
weapons. The magistrates read the riot ACT
and the police forced back the crowd with
their bayonets, the cavalry was ordered up,
and the processes were served without further
difficulty.
DEFENSE OF THE TRAvERsERS.
DUBLIN, Jan. 13.--In the court of queens
bench, to-day, McDonough opened for the de-
fense. He made touching reference to the
fact that he was almost the sole survivor OF
counsel employed in the O'Connell case. He
denounced the prosecution as landlords in
dictment against the tenants of ireland. The
court was crowded. Before the opening of the
court 200 persons of both sexes, understood to
be rack rented and evicted tenants, marched
from the offices of the land league to the four
courts McDonough's speech consisted of a
vindication and reassertion of the principles Of
the land league, which organization, he said,
was as legal as traders union. He declared
that the Traversers professed the principles OF
John Stewart Mill, and said, that but for the
support of England, the landlords would be
driven into the sea. The people, he said, pay
the shopkeepers e4O, 900 for seed. We're they,
he asked, to deprive their wives and children
of sustenance in order to pay landlords. he
hadn't concluded his speech when the court
adjourned.
In the house of commons today the chief
secretary for ireland, replying to Lord Ran

CHICAGO, Jan. .13.-Cables TO-DAY unchanged,

wheat, but snow falling to-day makes many

and undoubtedly this was the reason for a
weakness developed on call and resulting in all

strength of the market is shown by very little
actual wheat being for sale; even at its weak
est there were no blocks for sale. The market
was beaten down by number of small opera
tors offering single 5000 lots, and only just
the temporary absence of buying orders en-
abled them to sell the market down.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 13.-The Leader this fore

in a letter in the New York Times of the Sth,
written from Cleveland, to the effect that Mr..
Foster withdrew from the Senatorial contest
with the understanding that either Sherman
will decline the seat in the Senate for the pur-
pose of remaining in his present position under
Garfield, thus leaving the coast clear for Fos-
ter for the Senate, or that the latter gentleman
will be rendered an invitation to 60 into the
new cabinet, has no foundation upon which to
base the story, so Gov. Foster tells us. The
governor has no understanding whatever with
Gen. Garfield in regard to his course of action
on the cabinet or senatorial question.
