The DiXmont Scandal.

PITTSBURGH, February 2.-This morning
DR.. Reed, of Dixmont Hospital, was in
teryiewed as TO the charges made by Dr..
SEWN, of Erie. DR.. Reed said: Tie
statement made by DR.. Wylie in the morn
ing paper was correct. No person was ever
treated better in this hospital than DR..
SEWN, and his story satisfies me that he is
not yet in his right mind. While hsre he
was unusually morsse aud made
several attempts at suicide. The man
Shafer, the discharged emplOye, is
no doubt working in the interest OF Julius
SEWN, who is a bad, worthless man. The
man Thurman died in the hospital during
1874 from strangUlsted hernia he was
epileptic and at times furioas, but was
never abused. Jjr. SsrieH and Thumb oc,
cupied the samc room and the doctor had
opportunity tr send letters to his friends If
he so desired. de was removed by his
trustees, ami not By Mr.. Walters"

the United States General McCandless,
counsel for liquor men, and Joshua L..
Bailey, President Of the State Temperance
Association, spoke before the House Com
mittee on Constitutional Reform to-day
concerning the prohibition amendment.
The committee agreed to report the bill
favorably, with an amendment, offered
by Mr.. Furth, of Philadelphia as fol-
lows:
Provided. That compensation shall be
made out of the Treasury OF the Common
wealth to all persons who own real estate
which has been occupied, licensed and the
license paid for the manufacture or sale of
the articles before named, for five success
siye years previous to the adoption of the
amendment, which will be reduced in value
by reason of the destruction Of their busi.
ness by its adoption, and the Legislature
shall after its adoption provide the manner
in which the said injury or reduction in
value shall be ascertained and paid. The
liquor men appear to be satisfied. They
say that even if the House should pass the
bill, the people will never vote for the
amendment. Lowery, of Indiana, will
present the report.

WASHINGTON, February president
Arthur is said to be madly mashed on
Miss Beckwith, Of New York City, who is
here with her mother staying at the Ar
hngton for the season. She is q yery
handsome and engaging lady, and very
wealthy, thus possessing all the attractions.
The President has entertained her at sew
eral private dinners at the White House, and
she was one OF the honored guests at the
State entertainment, A well-known society
lady informed me that on that occasion
the PRESIDENT, Miss Beckwith, and her
chaperone spent an hour aad a half to-
gether inspecting the conservatory. The
same fair informant assures me that ever
since Miss Beckwith arrived in the city
her table at the Arlington has been loaded
with the rarest flowers from the Execu-
tive green house. He arranged an excur-
sion 70 Mount Vernon on the Dispatch, in
honor of his charmer, and with a select

lady informant expressed the opinion
that nothing would come of it." and re-
called similar attentions on the President
to q charming widow last winter as evil
dence that he only amuses himself with
such striking beauties as catch his fancy
for time, and has no serious intentions OF
re-entering the matrimonial paradise, But
a gentleman Eear thought differently. He
said he had it from good authority
that the widow of last winter might have
been mistress of the White House to day
if she had said Yes" instead of saying
No" when Arthur forwarded his PROPOSE
tiOn to travel down life's shell road with
her in double harness. 1t is hard to tell
which story is right. Sometimes man pro-
poses and woman diSposes, and sometimes
1t is the other way, but notice that most
everybody gets married and goes to house
keeping.

spoke of his own interest and desire, and
that the alleged contract was against the
policy of common law, repugnant TO the
constitution and laws of the United States
