The Coming Caucus.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Pit is
arranged that Speaker Carlisle shall pre-
sent the resolution in caucus, tomorrow
night, endorsing Morrison's bill and that
he shall lead out in an argument in sup.
port of it. Some members who will 90
into the caucus predict that an agreement
cannot be reached at one caucus, and
that another will be required. Should a
conclusion be arrived at tomorrow even
ing it is thought the discussion of the
bill will begin in the House next week.
WANT THE OHIO PLATFORM.
In caucus tomorrow night it is said a
follower of Randall will offer resolution
to this effect: l. That it is inexpedient,
unwise and impracticable to attempt any
tariff revision at this session of Congress.
g If it were wise and practicable, the
Morrison bill does not cure the evils COM
planned Of. 3. That harmony of party
being paramount to the mere question of
the revision of the tariff, which can not
under any circumstances be accomplished
at this session, the Ohio platform shall be
declared the basis upon which all shades
of opinion on that subject can be united
NATIONAL BANK FAILURES.
a point of special interest to National
bankers was made to-day in the argument
by Solomon Lincoln, who appears for the
directors in the Boston Pacific National
Bank investigation before the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency He
said that it was the duty of the Comp
troller of the Currency alone to act upon
reports of bank examiners and not of
directors of banks, and that if the direct.
ors disregarded anything or everything
pointed out ina report of bank examiner
the directors could not be held responsible
should the failure of the bank follow.

SHOOK HIS WIFE.
win Of Blind TOMS Manager.

NEW YORK, March 24.-John G..
Bethune's will, which was executed on
January 20, 1884, has been offered for
probate. The testator, who is known
widely as Blind Toms manager, gives
his entire estate to his father, James Neil
Bcthune, and in the event of his death,
to his own sisters. He says of the wo-
man who claimed to be his wife, and sues
him for divorce, that he had purposely
refrained from bequeathing anything to a
woman calling herself Elisa or Eliza
Bethune, because he believed that she
was not his wife, but was the divorced
wife of Otto Stutzbach, and because her
conduct to him since their alleged mar
rage had satisfied him that she had no re-
gard for him, but was heartless adven-
turess, who had sought to obtain his es-
tate, which he had accumulated during
nearly fifty years of bachelorhood.

A Poor Way to Right a Wrong,

COLUMBUS, o., March 2i.--The State
journal has the following special from
Corning, Ohio.
Last night few rufflans, while passing
by the Catholic parsonage, used very
blasphemous and insulting language to.
ward the priest. They then proceeded to
break down number shade trees which
the pastor had planted last fall. They
were at last driven away by the report of
a pistol-shot, and having put out lam
tern which they carried, made good their
escape under cover of the night. The
priest gave them chase, but could not find
them. A reward of S25 is offered for any
information that will lead to their convic-
ton. Our citizens are quite indignant
over the matter.

NEosHO FALLS, KAN, March 24.-The
following veterinary surgeons have been
in consultation here, and have made a
thorough examination of the alleged foot
and mouth disease among the cattle in
this locality DR.. Beattie, of Chicago; Dr..
d. L. Salmon, Veterinary for the Depart
ment of Agriculture; Dr. NJ. Trumbower,
of Sterling, H.; DR.. Geo. c.. Farille, of
the Colorado Agricultural College; DR..
L. L. Hazard, an old Scotch surgeon,
now of Lexington, Ky. DR.. Harris, of Lex

gentlemen are positive they have dis
covered the source of the trouble, and all
agree

many of the important symptoms of that

is it alkali water. 1t is no contagious

although the weather has been moist and
warm.
Or. salmon says as soon as he saw the
cattle he thought of ergot, and they pro-
ceeded to examine the hay. This had not
been done before. They found it con-
tanned a large amount of wild rye, which
was full of ergot The surgeons all say
they never saw one-twenteth part as
much ergot in bunch of feed. The
theory is that the ergot, by contracting
.the blood vessels and otherwise retard-
ing circulation in the extremities, caused
the feet to freeze. This ends the great
scare,

the figure towards the light. 1t was

match, but Miss Roberts blew 1t out.
Finally the gas was lighted and it was
seen that the doctor was struggling with
Roberts, the medium. Mrs. Rob-
erts, stout woman, threatened
to kill the doctor If he didn't let go
OF her son. He let go. The expose was
complete. Roberts explains that when
the doctor grabbed the spirit it vanished,
andthen the doctor got angry, went into
the cabinet and grabbed the unconscious
medium, who was in trance. In an in
terview Saturday night Roberts raised
his hands and said, "May God strike me
dead If there is any deception about my
seances." The visitors to the house have
all thanked the doctor for exposing the
fraud

Valley, Ind, seven miles west of here,
Hut Goodman was sitting in the house,
and man named Yes Meeks entered,
drew his revolver, and shot Goodman
in the back, the ball passing through

down, and wrenched the revolver and
shot Mceks three times, twice in the
forehead and once in the chest, killing

dashed him aside, possessing, apparently
superhuman strength, and the gent pro-

enyeloping her with it when she turned and
fled along the street with the flames leaping
high above her head. A third man drew

calling all the time to be allowed TO die.
The flames were eXtinguished, but not be-

face, head and and upper portion of the
body were roasted, and she also inhaled
the flames. She had been so terribly
burned about the face that the blood
burst from her skin and streamed over
the neck and shoulders. Policeman Law

wrctched victim taken to the Chambers

no DIVISION OF THE PARTY.

The Washington Post this morning
quotes Broadhead as of the conviction
That no division of the party will result
from the caucus on Morrison's bill. He
dld not believe that any bill would be
adopted as party platform at this time,
but that the general comparison of views
which would take place must tend
towards better understanding in the
party. The conclusions of such a caucus,
II any definite ones were reached, would
not, he thought, have the same binding
effect as on some other occasions; as if
