THE REVIVAL MEETING.
IL GROWS I'm Interest with Each Service
"A Remarkabl Conversion.

Despite the unusually cold weather, the
snow and the sloppy streets, the attend
ance upon the revival meeting at the Cum
berland church is daily increasing, and
the lecture-room, where the meetings have
been held since Sunday evening, and
which will seat about 500, is becoming too
small to accommodate the crowd. The
services have been very solemn, and it is
evident that a deep and rapidly spreading
religious interest is being awakened in the
community.
The Rev. Sam Jones is, a remarkable
preacher, and in many respects different
from any one Memphis has hitherto
heard. He is utterly unpretentious, fear
less and earnest, and the strong vein OF
quaint originality which runs through his
way of presenting things gives them a
freshness and attraction irresistible. He
provokes smile and tear, and keeps his
auditors wide awake and enchains their
attention.
One OF the remarkable incidents of the
meeting, which stirred the hearts OF all
present at the Wednesday night meeting,
was the conversion of a gentleman from
Mississippi, who has been for many years
a skeptic. He was passing through the
city, and went into the meeting acci-
dentally Sunday evening and became
deeply interested, made known his diff
culties, sought the prayers of Christians
and professed conversion publicly Wednes-
day night.
The services will be held to-day at IL
O'Clock and also tonight at 30 o'clock.

Washington letter to Springfield Rep,ib-
hcdn: Truly the years have dealt gently
with Gentleman George. Turning sixty
now, his hair is as black, as glossy and as
curly as it was when he first took his seat
in the old hall OF the House OF Representa-
tives. His beard has whitened some;
there is a Senatorial breadth OF abdomen,
that with his short stature has left
only suggestions OF the physical
graces that men used 10 admire in Gentle
man George. His eyes are bright, there is
good color in his cheeks, he steps in a
sprightly way, a quick walk down the
avenue with Bayard, giving the younger
statesman plenty TO do 10 keep up with
him. His home on the fated circle, the
circle where Winaom, and Cameron and
Robeson have lett evidence of their closed
careers, is fine specimen of the popular
Queen Anne style of architecture. Here
Pendleton entertains handsomely and Law
ishly. The weekly receptions and the
frequent dinners are regarded as models
of that form of entertainment. 4 pleas
ing story-teller, gifted with some wit, with
ready memory, and with unusual ex-
perience to draw upon, Pendleton in
private life is classed as a charming CON-
panion, whether at his table or whether
slipping the delectahle and de,us,ve beyer-
ages that are compounded at a fayorite
haunt for Senators on the avenue While
not overdressed, Pendleton is a thor
oughly well-dressed man, dignified and
graceful in his movements, gentle and un-
aggressive in speech and coasiderate in
action. l. is easy to see how he obtained that
nickname, and he deserves it now as much
as be ever did. But what has he done
il the Senaie2 Held his o9ns BY no
means. He came with a reputation as a
thinker, though perhaps a faulty one.

dollars. The bill alleges that the orators,
in connection with John K. Bartlett. who
died August 23d, carried on business as
'warehousemen in Brooklyn and this city.
At various times in 1879 and 1881 the firm
OF Drexel, Morgan & Co., bankers, de-
posted with the orators as warehousemen
implements of war worth 100000. About
July q, 1882, Drexel, Morgan & Co. in
structed the orators to have negotiable re-
eeipts issued 10 Horatio A. Hunt, OF
Providence, r. l., for the property, and
they accordingly issued six negotiable
warehouse receipts to Hunt.
The complaint further sets forth that
his imperial majesty the Sultan claims
said property by virtue OF a contract with
the Providence Tool Company.
The plaintiffs pray that until the deter
mination OF this suit the defendants,
Horatio A. Hunt and the American Ma
tional Bank of Providence, be restrained
from selling said warehouse receipts, ex-
cept by delivery to receiver appointed
by the Court

MI RDERER HANGED.
John Jarvis Executed for the Deliber
ate Murder of ClauGius BOnuey.

NORFOLK, Va, January 11.-John JAR
Wis, the murderer OF Claudius w. Bonney,
was hanged This afternoon at Princess
Anne Courthouse. He said last night that
he felt at the time of the murder an un-
comfortable desire to kill Bonney, which
he could not resist. He went to the scat
fold calm and collected. His neck was
broken. and death was painless. A few
months before the murder Jarvis pur-
chased a small farm and paid part OF the
purchase money in cash. Being unable
to meet the first deferred payment, he was
dispossessed and the farm sold to Bonney,
who returned Jarvis the amount he paid
on the farm. On September 18th Jarvis
went TO the farm armed with a gun. He
began talking pleasantly with Bonney,
and finally asked the latter to take a
drink OF whisky, producing a bottle. Bon
ney raised the bottle to his lips, when
Jarvis shot him, killing him instantly.
Bonnev left widow and six children.

TEXAS CATTLE MEN.
Last Day y Session Of the Live Stock As
sOciaticn.

AUSTIN, Ten, January 1.-THE Texas
Live Stock Association to-day unanimous
ly indorsed the efforts made by Congress
to obtain right of way for the Gull, Colo
rado and Santa Fe and the Texas, Oklaho-
ma and Kansas Railroad Companies
through the Indian Territory. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted expressing
full confidence in the Legislature to dis
countenance lawlessness OF whavever
character; requesting the Legislature
to enact laws for the adequate
protection of all property, grass included,
and take action to secure from the school
lands the largest possible revenue; declare
that, while not favoring the doctrine OF
free range, they deem it injudicious at
present to pass herd law. The president,
three vice-presidents, secretary and ff-
teen members were appointed as COM
mittee to represent the association at the
National Live Stock Convention, TO be
held at st. Louis the coming spring.

the Treasury Department, said the disease
was undoubtedly the result OF importation.
He said, with plenty of money and Fede-
raj law, it could be eradicated in twelve
months. New York City had, at one time,
stamped it out in three months. He ad-
vocated burning the building where the
disease occurred.
Judge Carey, of Wyoming, gave a his
tory of the disease, saying it was like
Asiatic cholera, spreading through Eu-
rope, and reaching New York forty years
ago. 1t spread over the continent of Eu-
rope, Great Britain, Australia, New Zea-
land and this country. All that saved the
West from the disease was the lack OF trans
portation from the East to the West. Had
it been otherwise, the Western plains
would have been infected, and once in ex-
istence there it would spread over the en-
tire country.
The legislation proposed is to make the
shipment OF cattle known to be diseased
a penal offense; to establish cattle bu-
reau in the Department of Agriculture,
increase the power of the Commissioner
Of Agriculture, provide funds for an elab-
crate investigation of diseased cattle, and
provide an appropriation for the purchase
OF diseased cattle, SO they can de destroyed.
The appropriation will be at first 500, 900.

THR PENSION BILL.
Eighty Millions Appropriated for ti'
Ensuing Year.

Ensuing Year.
WAsBINGToN, January 1..-The sub
committee OF the Appropriation Commit
tee, consisting Of Messrs. Holman and
Follet, to-day prepared the pension appro-
preparation bill, which they will report to
the full committee Monday, and it will
probably reach the House the same day.
The bill agreed upon provides for the re-
appropriation of the uneXpended balance
OF the appropriation for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1888, amounting to
$50, 100000, the balance of the appropria-
ton for the present fiscal year uneXpend-
ed at the close of the year, estimated at
S26000, 600, and a fresh appropriation OF
$4,000, 600, making S0000, 900. The bill
also provides for an appropriation OF $780,
900 for the expenses of Especial agents OF the
Pension Bureau, and other appropriations
for fees of boards OF examining surveyors,
expenses of pension agencies and salaries
of agents, the whole falling within 81 ,000,-
600. Holman said tonight that the COM
mittee, in going below the commission
er's estim ates, had been governed by the
idea that the appropriation OF large sums
for the payment OF pensions in excess OF
the requirements was injudicious, as they
deceived the county as TO the real condi-
ton OF the governments expenditures.
The commissioner asked for 10000, 900 in
addition to the unexpended balance of
former appropriations, which, if acceded,
would, according to the committees esti-
mates, bring the amount placed at
his disposal to SlO5, 100000 Payments on
account of pensions for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1888, amount to S60,000,000, and
for the first six months of the present
year about S30,000,000. With this show
ing, and in view OF the fact that the COM
missioner himself is authority for the
statement that the heaviest demands upon
the Treasury for the payment of arrear-
ages will fall upon it the present fiscal
year. the subcommittee reaches the con-
clusion that SS0,000,000 is amply sufficient
for all demands the coming fiscal year.
The Commissioner of Pensions asked for
an increase OF the number of the Board
OF Examining Surgeons to 400, being
about 2G5. Tho sub-committee agreed to
this, but anp N1ed the law r. re:tatiun 10
the fees p, u such examining sur
geons, so, instead OF receiving 81
each, as under the present law,
for an examination, they viii receive that
fee only for the first i've examinations
made any day, and 81 for each additional
examination. The subcommittee will
propose an amendment to the law in re-
spect to the fees OF pension agents, so as
to provide that such fees only be paid
when the pension is allowed, the Commits
sioner of Pensions TO make the payment,
deducting it from the amount OF the PEN
sion allowed. They also propose a reduc-
ton in the number OF pension agencies
from eighteen to twelve, and make such
provisions for forwarding vouchers to the
Pension Bureau and drafts TO pensioners
as is necessary consequent on the reduc-
ton of agencies.

WAsuINGToN, January 1l.-Mr. Fox,
United States consul at Brunswick, in a
report to the Secretary of State upon the
breeds of cattle in the DuchY of Bruns-
wick, saws that there are four representa-
five breeds of cattle there-the Holland,
Uldenburg, Hartz and the common
breed. The latter two have their origin
in the duchy. The IIartz were intro
iuced some fifty years since, taking their
name from the Hartz mountains, and the
common breed have existed since time
immemovial These breeds are crossed
with the imported Holland and Olden-
burg animals. The importation of the off,
spring into the United States could hardly
be recommended, rs the original breeds
would most naturally have the preference.
Attempts to cross the Hartz animals with
other breeds have always resulted in fail
ure, so that now the greatest care !" taken
