PIECE OF SILK FOR MRS GARFIELD.

The Women's Silk Culture Association of America
whose headquarters are i'll Philadelphia, some time
ago conceived the idea of presenting piece of silk
dress goods to Mrs Garfield, the widow of the late
President the intention being that the goods should
be of American production in every respect. The
silk was to be grown in the United States, and the
reeng and all subsequent processes of manutacture
were to be done in this country. Mrs. Garfield will
soon be presented with the piece of goods AT the
recent exhibition by the Women's Silk Culture
Association in Philadelphia prizes were Offered for
the best specimens of silk grown IN the United
States. 1t was the silk which took one of these
prizes that was selected for the making of
the Dress The Keeling was done in the exhibition:
The silk was then sent to Hanil d. Booth, OF
Paterson, n. j., to be woven. The throwing Tro-
cesses were done in the mill of that firm in Mi;st,
and the weaving in their other mill in Ward-st
The design was made by James Simpson. the de-
signer EN- ployed by the firm, and Is original 1t
was submitted to the Silk Culture Association and
approved by them. The silk as finished is OF extra
ordinary weight The color is black, and the back
ground of the design, which appears in raised fg-
Sres, is satin, The figure is combination Of the
patterns of trefale and Irish lace. The SILK Is
twenty-five yards long, and OF the usual width OF
dress goods. The caendering which is done In this
city, will be completed to-day or tomorrow, and
then the piece will be delivered to the association

ST GEORGES vEsTRY ELECTION.
A TRIBUNE reporter set ont TO get at the truth
the vestry election of st. Georges Parish
this week. Charles Tracy, who was re-
elected senior warden, and against. whom
rined positively TO say ANYTHING in regard to the
subject but intimated that if he should speak some
the vestrymcn said that there absolutely moth
ing IN the matter The only fact developed IN the
inquiry was that the yestry had sold the Mission
Building in East Fourteenth-st., because 1t was
found that it could not be maintained profitably.
In the words of the yestryman who spoke on this
natter " MISSIONS have had their DAY In New
York, and the tendency now Is 10 establish indie
pendent churches. The vestry of ST. Georges sold
this mission to DR.. Halps church, and they would
be glad to get rid of it now. These allegations
made against the vestry, of bad management, are
both false and trivial and don't propose TO take
any notice OF them. That's the whole matter in o
nutshell"

TWO EFFORTS TO HANG HIMSELF.

Michael Evans, proprietor of restaurant at No.
1,414 Third-ave, appeared In the HarleHh Police
Court yesterday complainant against Thomas
Lee a sailor living in sailors clearinghouse at
No. 3S6 Water-st., whom he charged with creating
a disturbance in his place and with breaking
plategass window, valued at $500. Justice Murray
held Lee in 5000 bail to keep the peace for one
year. in default of which he was committed. Lee
was taken to the prison and locked up to await the
arrival of the prison Shortly afterward Keeper
Glynn heard labOred breathing in his cell, and
hurrying to it found that Lee had suspended him
self from the cell door with his shirt, which he had
twisted i'll the form OF q rope lie was cut down
and with much difficulty brought 10 his senses.
when he was again confined in his cell. Entering
the prison shortly after, Keeper Glynn found that
Lee had managed to raise his head about a foot
from the floor and had tied strong piece of Irvine
around his neck, which he had then fastened to the
bars, and he was endeavoring to strange himself;
He was again rescued. When he had recovered
his senses he begged FOR some weapon with which
to take his life, saying he tired of living. An
ambulance was telegraphed for to the Ninety
Street Hospital where he will be held for some time
as he is apparently suffering from some mental
trouble.

A New York special says: A target 35
feet long and II feet high was sunk at q
distance of $50 feet from Ericsson's tor.
pedo boat, the Destroyer. A proiectile was
then fired under water at the target.
The men on the Destroyer had gathered
at the bow, and it was so much depressed

The projectile pa ,sed under the target
and arose to the surface So feet beyond
it. The proiectie is Is feet long. The
gun from whichi it is projected is breech-
loader, 80 feet long, l6 inches bore, and
weighs lo,3O0 pounds. Twelve pounds of
prismatlc powGer were used. The powder
was fired by an electric fuse. Two valves
are fitted to the mouth of the gun. The
one that prevents the water from enter
ing the gun is destroyed by the passage
of the plojectiles. The other valve closes
automatically. Immediately afterward,
allowing only enough water to enter the
gun to clean it. There was dull report
at the firing. The Destroyer backed
several feet. Tor space of 20 feet ia

scoylll,s DESPERATE SCHEME.

A number of Guiteau iurymen have
been interviewed with reference to the
charge that they had copy of the Even
ing Critic Of the 10Th of November last
in their rooms at the National hotel
while the trial OF the assassin was going
on. MIR. F.. w. Brandenburg was the
hrst ono OF the jurors whose names
appear on the copy Of the Extra Critic
called upon. In response to the question
whether he had red the allegations con.
tained in the affidavit of john w. Gui-
teau, he replied that lie had and that
there WAS not word of truth in it, and
he continued: "In the first place I can
say that never had newspaper in my

change Of linen was brought to me wrap.
ped IN an old newspaper. I received it
in the presence of q bailiff, and immedi-
ately took off the wrapper and handed
1t to him to destroy. Secondly, as l
understand, the names on the margin OF
the extra Critic were written with ink
Now there was no ink in either of the
rooms occupied by the jury. The only
writing materials ever. saw was in the
room occupied by the bailiff, where it
was plainly in sight Of the officers all the
time. l never touched pen the whole
time I was on the jury. except to write
my autograph. There were numberlese
requests for the autographs of the jury
and we signed our names:in all the many

Chas.W. Heinline was next called upon
and he denied the allegations and stated
that John w. Guiteau had been at his
house during his absence inquiring fol
him. He subsequently met Guiteau
who wanted his autograph and lie gave
it to him.
Others of the jurymen concur with
Messrs. Brandenburg and Heinline tc
the falsity Of the allegations, and also
to the procuring of their autographs
This is no doubt q desperate scheme Of
Guiteau's relatives to deceive the court
in order to procure new trial for the
assassin.

TIE DREAMER OF The Los1 CAUSE.

IHllauclpnl1 llincS, Dem.
1t is creditable to jefferson Davis that
he doesn't speak often in public, but he
could justly claim much more credit if
he didn't speak at all, at least until he
can learn to speak wisely. He turns up
about twice year at some confederate
army reunion and manages to say Just
enough to furnish texts for the Mahones
of the south and the partisan sectional
worshippers of the north for their polit-
ical campaigns. Then he subsidies and
retires into his severe secluslon to be
hammered and thumped for his folly as
the best card the lovers of sectional strife
can play.
Mr.. Davis has just got off his last silly
contribution to the political disturbers
OF both sections in his recent speech at
the reunion of the army of northern
Virginia at New Orleans, telling the old
Warriors of the gray: "You have done
your duty in the past, and may God
spare you to do it in the future, should
ever the necessity again arise" The
same sentence might have been uttered
by any other than Jefferson Davis with.

pected to do their duty in every emer-

tongue whenever an opportunity offers.

Northern Virginia addressed by Mr.. Da-
Wis not one in u thousand could be tempt

las was not sick, according to her own
confession, but only feigned sickness to
induce Jer ME to stay. While the young
men and Blanche Douglass were urging
Jennie to remain, James Malley, ir.,
picked her up and carried her struggling
to q room above, where he passed the
night with her. Jennie's outcries were
such that Blanche, alarmed, urged Jen-
ME from without not to make so much
noise for fear that it might alarm the
neighbors. Blanche spent Wednesday,,
Thursday and Friday nights (the latter
was the day Jennie died) with Walter
Malley, she claimed. The body of ,len.
ME Cramer was discovered at West
Haven, Saturday morning, August G.
Blanche next told the jury that Sunday
afternoon and evering, after she had
been forced to remove from the Elliott
house to the Austin honse, she was
occupied with Walter and James Malley,
jr., and John Duff, jr., who had been
summoned hastily from New York, il
connecting the story he told to the coro.
ners jury. The Malleys had already
engaged counsel. Half dozen stories
were proposed andrejected. Finally the
one.used was agreed upon. 1t was dc.
clded that all the party should insist
that they never saw Jennie Cramer alive

The Northern Pacific Railroad Company in
the business.
Leonard B. Hodges, the authority on
forestry, who is making a tour of the
Northern Pacific road with a view of de-
termining the best means OF protecting
the road from snow blockades, has near
iy finished his work and has made known
some estimates of the proposed works
He thinks that for the first year the cost
yould be $4,000, for the second year
$4,000, for the third year $4,000. for the
fourth year $4,000, and for the fifth
year $1,000, when no further outlay will
be necessary. He proposes the planting
OF white willow and cottonwood trees III
alternate low's for wind breaks, which in
five Years will have attained growth to
preclude the possibility of snow block
ade on the railroad. He also proposes,
in connection with THIS scheme, the
planting OF trees for the purpose OF max
ing ties, by which ties would cost O. ly
or 10 cents apiece, whereas the present
cost, when ties have to be transported
long distances, is 81 each. For this pur-
pose Mr.. Hodges prefers tho yellow cot
| tOnwood, which abounds in the Missou-
ri bottoms. This wood is as durable for
the purpose named as tamarac, which is
considered among the best materials for
railroad ties. Mr.. Hodges likewise sug-
gests the propriety of utilizing portion
of the right of way to the establishment
of nurseries to contain several
millions of young trees
for the purpose OF furnishing set
tiers with wind breaks, fencing and fuel
In this connection one remarkable case
of the value of the quick growing willow
is mentioned. A gentleman in Dakota
planted q row of willows, one foot apart
around 100 acres of land. As soon as
they had attained sufficient growth fol
fuel purposes, he began cutting at one
end of the row, and by the time he had
cut around the l6O acres, the trees ut the
point of beginning were large enough te
begin cutting again. Thus the interest
ing discovery was made that this siugle
row of willows sniliced for n perpetual
supply Of fuel.

Grand Forks He-ald, Jan. 25.
The letter of our special correspond
ent from Washington to this morning s
Herald, together with the dispatches in
the late papers that can get telegraphic
news. throws little light on the some
what mystifying telegram received in
this city Tuesday. The tone and senti-
ment of the Fargo convention was de-
cldediy opposed to any expensive scheme
for entertainment. 1t was also under
stood that should any vacancies occur in
the delegations the representatives from
the counties in which the vacancies uc-
CURED should have the power to fill
them.
The delegation on arriving at Wash
ington voted in as delegates all the North
Dakotaians in Washington, without ref
erence to locality, against the protest OF
some of the regularly appointed dele
gates. The late papers give special tel
egrams announcing that 81 500 was sud
denly needed for legislative purposes,
though the average North Dakota yeo.
man would have difficulty in understand
ing how honest legislation on the part OF
congress would be facilitated by con.
tribution Of $2,500 of North Dakota'e
money. But the telegram received hcre
Tuesday stated that the need was for en-.
tertainment. The supposition is that, on
voting in all the visitors in Washington
the northern and western counties were
outnumbered and royal entertainment
decided upon. This was known to every
delegate present to be opposed to the
general sentiment at Fargo the fourth Of
January. Judge Barnes declaration tina,
the delegation in Washington constitu
ted law unto itself, taken together with
the proposed entertainment. gives
ground for suspicion that scheme exists
for somebody's gloritication at the ex
