SLOW pREslDESr-aCr,yr SENATOR'S

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-It is highly
probable that Secretary Robert LincOlR
will make the canvass in Illinois for the
United States Senate against David Davis.
While general procrastination may be
said to attend Arthur's course, there are
certain senators who are getting their work
in as fast as they could under any circum
stances expect. These are Senator Jones,
of Nevada, and Senator Cameron, of
Pennsylvania. The latter is leaving no
stone unturned to strengthen his position;
and apparently Arthur is doing what he
he can to help him. Pennsylvania will
not miss getting any Office because Came
ron fails to ask. Yesterday, in addition
to previous favors, the best Consulship on
the entire list went to pay one of Came
ron's political debts. Pennsylvania claims
at least one of the leading missions. Any
way, Gen. Hartranft has yet to be provid-
ed for. That is something which must al
ways be taken int account. What would
some men do if there were no offices, or if
the offices were really to fall to the best
men?
The Nevada senator appears to be pro-
viding the territories-the mineral ones
one after another, with favorites. The re-
lations of the senator and President are
close, and have been from the first.
Gentlemen from Utah, not Mormons,
speak of the importance of having a gov
ernor who is equal to the growing magni-
tude of the questions to be dealt with
there. 1t is not improbable that a move
ment for change will shortly be made by
leading citizens of the territory, which will
command sympathy from very many who
have studied and understand the needs of
the Mormon question.

AN OIL WELL sHoorER,s PERIL.

BRADFORD, Pa, Feb. ia few days
since Harvey McHenry, employed by the
Roberts Torpedo Company as shooter
of Oil wells, set out with fifty quarts of
nitro -glycerine in his wagon to shoot a
well in Berger Hollow He had packed
his fifty one-quart cans with unusual care
in a specially constructed wagon. The
road he was obliged to take was very hilly,
and was slippery with ice. In one place,
on steep hill, it slanted so that the horses
could not keep the wagon from sliding
from side to side. and several times it mar
rowly escaped violent collision with trees
on tile roadside. The efforts of the horses
to keep the wagon on the road finally
snapped the tongue. The wagon ran
against the horses heels Instantly they
plunged forward. The driver lost control
of them and they ran away down the hill
at break-neck speed. McHenry held on to
the lines, although he knew that every
jump of the horses threatened to explode
the nitro -gIycerine under his seat. Half
way down the hill he saw that the wagon
would in all probability hit a tree few
feet further down.
81 knew" says McHenry, "that stood
very little chance of my life by jumping
from the wagon, but / felt that not bit
of me would be left If stuck to the seat.
I sprang out among the rocks and brush.

but l retained my senses. ] knew that /

No explosion came, and glanced down
the road, and saw the wheels of the wagon
just touch the trunk of the tree. 1t had
barely passed the tree when the wagon
was overturned. The horses kept on drag
ging the wagon along, tumbling over and
over as it went. / never had known nitro
glycerine to Withstand one-quarter the jar
without exploding. The wagon turned
over four times before the horses reached
the bottom of the hill. There they Brought

fainted dead away"
Some oil-well drillers found McHenry by
the wayside and carried him home. He
was badly hurt about the legs and back.
but suffers most from nervous prostration.
That the nitro -glycerine did not explode is
the wonder of the oil regions

net earnings in 1881, compared with 1880,
is due to the fact that the wornout track,
structures and machinery found on the
road in 1880 were rebuilt and charged to
the construction instead of the operating
expenses, while much that was then ia
bad condition, and yet good enough for
another year, was repaired during 1881,
and the cost charged to repair instead OF
construction, as it was done the year be-
fore. The general account exhibited shows
that the only Indebtedness of the com
pany, when the line is finished, will be

PAYING OYER THE STAKES.

NEW York, Feb. 17.-Among the many
sporting men who were at Harry Hills
yesterday afternoon to see the stakes of tn e
Ryan-Sullivan fight paid over, were Sam
Coyler, Dick Hollywood Steve Taylor,
Jake Roome, Mike Coburn, James Patter-
son, Jack Styles, Johnny Menan, Charley
Darling, and John Clarke. Harry Hill
read despatch from Sullivan, dated Cleve-
land, Ohio, saying that it was impossible
for him to be in this city before March 8,
Mr.. Hill telegraphed to Sullivan, asking
if he should pay to James Keenan,, of Bos
ton, one of Suliiyan's hackers, the $4,000
that he had put up on him in the fight, and
Sullivan replied that he should. On behalf
of keenan,, Frank Stevenson received the
$4,000, and then returned to Mr.. Hill 81,
600 as present to Sullivan.
Mr.. Hill read a letter from Richard K
Fox, Ryan's backer, authorizing him to pay
to Sullivan the 50, 500 stakes posted on be-
half of Ryan.
1t is said that Ryan's excuse for being
absent was that he had been taken in by a
confidence man and robbed of $400. Ryan
had only $S5 when he left New Orleans
The reporter met George Holden on the
street.
eff I had been out of prison" said Hol-
den, before the big fight, / would have
made ats full of money for my friends, as
l knew Sullivan would whack Ryan.
How did you know?"
when the fight drew nigh, Ryan began
to reckon it up, and said to himself, Halo,
what have I done?- 1t took me q day to
whip Goss with the fists, while Sullivan
beat Goss with the gloves in three rounds.
But am in for it; III go and fight my

times, and / can tell you, no matter how

Fhe4reporter saw Frank Stevenson, and
asked him what he thought of Dick Eagan
of Troy, who wants to fight Sullivan Said
Stevenson. Paddy Ryan can whip him
with one hand. Eagan is great big fell

Consumption increased inexact proportion
to the enforcement of compulsory vaccina-
ton. He was positive that his own child
had been killed by vaccination, and he
would sooner rot in prison than permit an
other child to be vaccinated.
Mr.. Hutcheon, of 407 East 122d street,
said that his child, II years old, had died
of the effects Of vaccination by an officer
of the Health Board after the regular fam
lily physician had declined to vaccinate the
child because it was too feeble. If he had
money he would prosecute the Board OF
Health.
A female physician in the audience said
her two daughters had been attacked with
lockjaw from vaccination. She was deter
mined that her other two children should
not be vaccinated
DIR. Nolan said that the Board of Health
had learned the danger of selling scales
from human subjects, and for three weeks
had stopped selling such scales.

FOES TO VACCINATION.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-The first Anti
Vaccination League of America met in
Stech Hall, Fourteenth street, last night.
DR.. Robert a. Gum presided. The sue
cess of Jenner's system of vaccination, he
said, was due to the profits doctors made
out of it. When one of Jenner's vaeein-
ated children died with the small-po Jen-
ner claimed to have discovered that there
were two kinds of cow-pox, only one Of
which was suitable. When this was shown
to be fallacious by another death, Jenner
discovered that the vaccine matter should
be produced by inlparting horse7pox to
the cow, and from the cow to the human
subject There was no evidence that vac
cination was protection against small
pox. On the contrary, there was an in
crease of the disease. The sanitary pre-
cautions adopted were the only real pro-
lection, and such precautions would pre-
vent the spread of contagion without vac
cinnation If vaccination was protec-
ton, why these other precautions? Ply
sicians of the Board of Health, while pre-
tending to sell only bovine virus. were
really collecting scabs from the arms of
children who have been vaccinated, and
selling them to physicians through the
country as bovine virus.
DIR. Alexander Wilder read a preamble
and resolutions demanding the abolition of.
all laws for compulsory vaccination, and
pledging the members to resist them in de-
Tense of health and cleanliness Boards of
Health, DIR. Wilder said, were made up of
political doctors, and he believed that po-
iitical doctors did not amount to much.
Alexander Won Humboldt and Herbert
Spencer had opposed vaccination. The

Wilmer described as ;peddling pestilence.
