SBlirchinq Sherman,

Especial to the Western Associated Press.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Ex- Custodian Pitnsy
of the treasury has revived interest in the con.
tingentfund investigation by adding some
thing TO his former testimony. Pitney asked
to be re-examined. When he appeared he stat
ed that he had been informed that Upton and
Lampher had contradicted his testimony with
regard to employees of the treasury having
done work for Secretary Sherman for which
they were paid ont of the contingent fund. He
asked that that portion Of the testimony of
Upton and Lamphere referring to his evidence
be read to him- II showed that Pitney had
been correctly informed Upton and Lamphere
had contradicted him and testified that 70 EN-.
ploye of the treasury had ever been paid out OF
the contingent fund for work done, for
Sherman. PItney then reaffirmed his testl-
mony that they had done such work and had
been paid for out of that fund, and said he
was prepared to prove it, and also that Mrs.
Sherman knew this work was so paid for.
Senator Hale sprang 10 his feet and with some
show of Indignation, and asked CHOW dare
you charge that Mrs. Sherman knew this.'
Pitney replied: because l received notes
from her asking me to send the men to do
certain work On different occasions, and have
the notes here now" He then produced GER
tain notes, claiming to have been written by
Mrs. Sherman, and requesting that work
men be sent to the secretary's assistance.
Pitney added that he had received notes of the
same kind from Secretary Sherman and also
produced them. Pitney then entered into de-
tails with regard to this work ond maintained
that he could prove by the books and records
of the treasury that the work was paid for out
of the contingent fund. The committee
finally decided to call Upton and Lamphere
and confront them with Pitney, also to have
the books and records of the contingent
expenditures present for examination
in connection with the testimony. Some of
the leading sialwarts have quietly taken
great deal of interest in this lnvestig alton and
great pressure was brought to bear on Sena-
tor Logan to persuade him to bring out all
the testimony calculated to emparass and in
jure Senator Sher gan. Mr.. Logan, however,
refisted the pressure on the ground that his
personal relations with Sherman had not been
very pleasant and agreeable; that il was known
they were not friendly and he did not want to
do anything that would give color to the
charge that ne was actuated by personal mo-

CHICAGO. Feb. THE bears had everything

down from 2S% for March to 26x, and ia now

The bulls could easily lift prices, but appar.
entity they haven't the courage to attempt 1t

with only a spasmodic kick now and then.
Everybody is short on this market, and with a
little nerve big money could be made on the
long side. The transactions are very large,
making manipulation easy, and keeping away
panicky feeling. Had the business been
smaller I've no doubt that the
boys would have stayed on the
curb all night selling short. The burning of
the Heely elevator, containing 900. 600 bushels
OF wheat had but little effect in strengthening
the market. and this morning their receipts
were declared irregular.
Corn opened at GO &c for May, and sold off
to 62Xc. The business was larger than for
some days previous, the chief buyers being the
shorts.
Provisions followed the lead of wheat and
corn, March p ark closing on call at S1S.S7k,
and March lard at $lL17K. The entire list

What Musical Education Means.
Duke of Edinburgh.1

I will take for example the case of a
boy who intends to become professional
pianist. He begins at an early age. He
must practice for as many hours a day as
his physical and mental strength will
edmit of, and he cannot expect to attain
to sufficient excellence to earn his bread
until after the expiration of many years.
During all this time he cannot follow any
other calling, or make a sixpence by any
other pursuit. Now, what has he to
Learnt First, as respects mechanical
skill, as have already stated, he must
play the pianoforte for many hours day.
Second, he must learn harmony and
counterpart. Third, he must learn the
principles of musical composition, and, of
course, in addition to his musical culture,
must qualify himself in ordinary learning.

LAwRENcEvILLE, Feb. 9.--The bodies of
three young men were found on Tuesday at q
point seven miles above this city. It is now
learned that the unfortunate men were last
seen at the funeral of James Price, at the
lower edge of Crawford county They were
more or less under the influence of whiskey,
and they INDUCED in some of the most DIS
graceful conduct imaginable, cursing, carous-
ing, etc, which wound up by one of them
being pushed into the open grave made for
Price. They then took a skiff and started
down the river, but were probably thrown
ashore by an eddy, and in their drunken con-
dition frozen to death. The coroner's jury
gave verdict of this tenor.

field. His stories were numerous, and told
with zest and descriptive manner which only
Cough can display. HIS favorite topic OF
temperance was incidentally woven in, and a
highly moral, religious vein pervaded the lee
turs throughout. Beginning life without ed
vocational advantages, Mr.. Cough has had a
wonderful public career. Probably no more
entertaining topic can be supplied an audience
than the review of such lie by the man who

A BAD RECORD.
The president was officially advised to-day
of the action of the senate committee on naval
affairs in adopting an adverse report upon the
nomination of ]. b. Walmou-h to be pay.
master general of the navy. The committee
investigated the charges against Walmouth
and agreed substantially that the evidence sus-
tanned them. The evidence went to show that
he had bought and sold supplies for the navy
contrary to law and he stipulated that the
transactions should be kept secret. In view
of the fact the conclusion of the committee is
that Waimouth ia an unfit man for the posi-
ton and his past record is not clean. 1t Is be-.
lieved the president will withdraw the nomi.
