New YORK, March 6.-The day in Wall
street has been an exceedingly dull one.
Stocks remained firm, and made gains over
yesterdays figures. Union Pacific con-
tinues to be the chief attraction, and sold
at 95A. Among the lighter properties
Indiana, Bloomington & Western advanced
from 3218 to 3411s with good deal doing
in it. The total amount of gold reported
for shipment to this country to date is
$3,000,000. Jersey Central officials say the
road earned handsomely during 1882. Mis-
souri, Pacific, it is said, will show earnings
equal to 15 per cent. on the capital stock
for the past year. The closing was dull
and without special feature. Money loaned
at 10 per cent, but was easier at the end.
There were more bull points than bearish
ones, yet the entire list Jagged and sagged
when ordinarily with the influence of such
cheerful news there would have been a
boom.
The Union Pacific report was much bet
ter than had been anticipated. The bears
attacked the report, however, saying it was
misleading and distorted, and that the
company is not in such good condition as
the figures represent.
The news that Western Union dividends
would hereafteTbe at the rate of per cent.
per annum, stiffened that stock some, but
did not make a boom in it. The dark
spot on the market now is the price of
money, which is dear. 1t ruled at y per
cent. for time and closed at per cent.
with no prospect of being easier for two
weeks or so.

TABOR

threatened bombardment of social strong
holds by Senator Tabor and his new bride.
He has announced his intention of build

lions. He and his wife will have no trou-
BILE in drawing a crowd to the house. His
outrageous desertion of his first wife, who
supported him for years, has been pub

scribe her as beautiful. She may be 10

She is entirely made up and

in absurd taste. She went to Saturdays

her head black crepe widows bonnet.
Underneath this dress Of black mourning
flashed any number of bonanza diamonds.
Mrs. Hill, wife of Senator Hill, of Colo

to countenance the newest and latest Mrs.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
. [From our Regular Correspondent.


WASHINGTON. D. c., March 80, 1888
1t has been unusually quiet in Washing
ton for couple of weeks past little and
at such times very thing creates sensa-
ton The colored man Brown, who was
recently kicked out of place in one of
the departments because he refused to be-
come the body servant of his superior of
f1cer, has had good deal of notoriety.
His chief required that in addition to his
regular duties as messenger for the de-
partment he should attend the said chiefs
residence morning and evening to black
boots, n.ake fires, shovel snow, groom the
horses, and such little trif1es. As Brown
was paid by the government this arrange
ment would save Mr.. chief the expense of
servant The messenger, to use a slang
term, clicked" and refused to do mental
service in the chiefs household. Then
Brown was discharged. Foolish Brown 4!
He should have attended to the household
duties and let the department run
itself Then there would have been
no complaint Brown was entirely
too conscientious. He ought to have
known that his first duty was to his chiefs
family-not to the department. Every
officeholder in Washington entitled to a
messenger uses him (the messenger as
private servant. There may be excep-
tons, but do not know of any Take
the supreme court. Every one of the
nine judges has his body servant paid for
by the government. The servant hangs
around the supreme court a few hours
every day. but he devotes himself to the
household of his particular Judge, aud he
knows better than to refuse to do what
ever he is directed to do. Nearly every
bureau and department has ITS horses and
carriages. They are used by the officials
families for shopping and social purposes,
and big livery bills are thus saved.
These abuses run through every depart
ment of government. Congress is by no
means exempt. Every chairman of com
mittee has his clerk or secretary paid by the
government. What does this clerk? Why,
he attends to the correspondence of the
member and looks out for his private
letters. his seeds and his documents, and
draws his salary from the government.
The list of names mentioned" for the
vacant postmaster genership is quite
formidable as to numbers, and reads like
an extract from mortuary record. A
couplet or two from the obituary poet of
the period of the gentlemen included has
gone to meet" the politicians who were
happily, and let us hope permanently,
buried under the avalanche of votes
thrown upon them last fall. There is
Filley, and Window, and Robson, and
Ferry, and about dozen ex-congressmeu
in the lot--all former leaders in the stall
wart ranks, whom it's taken for granted
must be provided for by the executive in
some way, now that the people have
turned them out. One name among those
suggested deserves more than passing

What GREAT PLow MANUFACruRER
SAYS ABOUT THE TARIFF.

The following letter was written by p.
d. Buford, of this city, the head of one
of the largest plow factories in the world
and most intelligent gentleman. in an
swer to an inquiry by the Davenport Free
Trade League as to how free trade would
affect American manufacturers of agricul-
tural implements. 1t will be found inter
esting reading to all classes of readers

and professional men:
Rock ILLAND, ILL.,, Feb, IA, 1888.
George c. Preston, Esq, Davenport, Ia:
Yours of the 18th received. AS have
about as much time now as ever, I will
make brief reply to your inquiry as to
how free trade would affect pillow facto-
ties. 1t is charitable to suppose that the
party in Moline who wrote that s'fret
trade would wipe from the land every
pillow factory, is not a pillow manufac
turer,. for they are better informed. The
pillow foctories, ard in fact the manufac-
turers of all kinds of implements, ship
abroad in value one hundred dollars fol-
every dollars worth that is imported
They receive no protection and desire
none. But everything they export has
cost them an extra price to manufacture
by reason of the high tariff on the raw
material used.

TALKING BETWEEN NEW YORK AND
cEIIHa

New YORK, March 29.-An experiment
was made to-day at the main office of the
Postal Telephone company, with the
long-circuit telephone, invented by c. E.
Scribner, and controlled by the Western
Electric company. in talking between
New York and Chicago. Successful ex-
periments had previously been made in
conversing over this telephone with
Cleveland but this was the first attempt
to talk over circuit extending to Chi
cago. The wires of the Postal Telegraph
company were used. The experiment
was reasonably successful, although some
trouble resulted from the induction caused
by the use of contiguous wires for tele-
graph purposes. Conversation was car
ried on with the officers of the Postal
company at the Chicago stock yards. and
the replies were heard as distinctly as
they are heard over the local short cir
cults. Prof Gray. the electrician of the
Postal, had short talk with a Chicago
Times reporter, and several tunes played
by Mr.. Scribner at the Chicago end of the
wire were heard clearly at the New York
end. Several ladies Witnessed the cxper-
iments in the course of the day.

AN ACCOMPLISHED MONKEY.
A Chimpanzee that Blows Its Nose on a
Handkerchief.

Mrs Rooney" the female chimpan-
zee at the Geological garden has a very
bad cold in her head, and has been
taught to use a handkerchief with all the
ease and grace of well-bred human
being. Yesterday she and Pat Roo
ney," her husband, were as usual at
tracing great deal of attention from
the holiday visitors to the garden, but
of all the varied assortment of tricks
and gymnastics with which they favored
their audience none created as much
amazement as when Mrs Rooney would
sedately produce a small scrap of linen
from a corner of her cage and proceed
to gracefully blow her nose.
Glow did you teach her that trick?''
asked a lady of the keeper, who was
gazing fondly ut his pets from outside
the bars.
she and Pat scarcely need any teaching,

time they will initiate your actions
at once, and in day or so can be
taught new trick perfectly

asked another bystander.
.Yes, very WE'LL" said the keeper.
''They are about the only pair in the
garden that don't squabble together,
more or less; in fact, the only pair at
all. so far as / know-for even the tur-
tle-doves over in the bird house occa-
sionally peck at each other as fiercely
as a couple of game-eocks. Still, I'm
sorry to say that Mr.. Rooney amt as
polite to his wife as he might be, and if
she wasn't blessed with the temper of
an angel-if there are any monkey an
gels-why sometimes there would be
war even in this cage.
He then proceeded TO give the CHM
panzees their dinner, which consisted of
soft boiled rice and sweet potatoes. Mr.
Rooney politely waited until his wife
was helped cit took good while to
teach him that said the keeper and
then took his own share, which he bolt
ed in the most gluttonous fashion, and
then calmly scooped in what was left of
his wife's portion. This act of robbery
the lady only repaid with reproving
look. and then climbed to high perch
with her handkerchief and blew her
nose violently, after which she laid
down and went to sleep, Mr.. Rooney

ing himself a nest of straw and blan-
kcts. Philadelphia Record.

put forward under false pretenses.
That is the name of Mr.. Hatten, whose
friends ask for his promotion in the name
of civil service reform. The essential
principle of that reform as regards pro
motion, is that it shall be based on SEN
ority and merit. The latter is indispens
able, and Mr. Hatton has none of it. His
open and impudent hostility to reform
would make his appointment an insult to
public intelligence if it were nude in the
name Of reform, and his narrowness,

ANOTHER ACCIDENT AT BRA1pwoop.

CHICAGO. April 1.-The Neacs' Braid
wood special says; The excitement was
most intense this afternoon when the
news came from the mine that n party
which had gone down after bodies had
been imprisoned in the roadway while
putting some bodies in collins. The wives
aad relatives of the men in the mine were
wild with grief over the prospective death
of their friends The party did not re-
turn when expected and search was at
once started. When the second party
reached the point where the bodies were
discovered they found that a pile of stone
had caved in and blocked up the narrow
passage-way. They were dug out and
liberated from their dusky prison. One
of the men was so Frustrated that he had
t. be carried home.
The rescued party when they reached
the too said they would never go in again
Other scarchers VINO have been working
there say they will not go down again,
1t is thought that no further search will
be made, as no men can be found who are
willing to go down. The bodies were
taken out about O'Clock and placed il
the mOrgue, where the crowd passed
through and viewed them. They were
identified as being Thomas Rogers. Hugh
Ramsay, Andy Fulton, Ike Pearson,
James Pearson, aud John Pearson. They
could be identified only by their near rel
atives by the clothes they wore. The
funeral will occur tomorrow.
