D. A. M., an emotional comedy by A. e. Gunter, Esq, was presented last evening at Carll's Opera House to very small audi ence, the Republican mass meeting at the New Haven Opera House proving strong counter attraction. The play is evidently written solely for the amusement of the public, and, judging from the laughter and applause that greeted the efforts of the yari- ous actors, succeeded admirably.
 What little plot there may be in the play hinges on the prosecutions heaped moon a poor American girl in Paris by varicus suitors who imagine she is immensely wealthy. The plot, though not original, is decidedly funny.

JUDGE WYLIE made short work with the
indictment against ex-senator Kellogg. The
case rested entirely on the testimony of John
b. Price, a mail contractor, who said that he
had agreed to give Mr.. Kellogg (who was
then in the United States senate) $4,000 il
he would use his influence to have certain
mail routes expedited. According to Mr..
Prices testimony this offer was made July,
1879. The indictment was found April IS,
1883, and, as q matter of course, was barred
by the statute Of limitations. Another fatal
defect in the indictment was the fact that II
charged Mr.. Kellogg with receiving money
whereas, according to Prices own testimony,
he agreed to assign certain postal pay war
rants not yet due, amounting to $4,000, and
gave his note for tho balance $4,000, There
being fatal variance between the allegation
contained in the indictment and the proof
adduced in support of it. Judge Wylie di-
rected tho jury to return verdict of not
guilty, and Mr.. Kellogg was discharged be.
fore he had an opportunity of presenting his
own side Of the case.

The Blaine Boom TN Iowa.

Iowa has generally been conceded to be a
been published showing the probable strength
of each candidate the Iowa delegates have
always been put in the Blaine column. A
careful reading Of The report of tho proceed
ings of the republican convention which met
at Des Moines on Wednesday shows that there
has been good deal of Misrepresentation
concerning the feeling in Iowa toward the
candidates for the presidency whose names
have been most frequently mentioned in con-
nection with the nomination.
The Blaine men seemed to be in the ma
jority in theiconvention, but when it came
to deciding whether there should merely be
q simple declaration that Mr.. Blaine was the
choice of the Iowa republicans for president,
or whether the delegates should be instructed
to use all honorable means to secure
his nomination, the thick and thin
partisans Of the Maine statesman were
beaten. The first proposition was
submitted by the majority Of the committee
on resolutions, and the second by the mi
nority. motion to substitute the minority
for the majority report was lost by vote of
437 yeas to 447 nays. Taken in connection
with the fact that a resolution warmly in
dorsing President Arthur's administration
was adopted, this vote is most suggestive.
Mr.. Donnan, one of the delegates.at-large, is
an Arthur man.
Mr.. Blaine may or may not get the unani-
nous vote of Iowa in the national conven-
tiop, but the fact that the state convention re-
fused to give its delegates specific instructions
shows that there has been good deal of ex-
aggeration in the Blaine boom in Iowa as in
other parts of the country.

not judge, without being on the spot, of the
wisdom of Capt. De Longs putting the
Jeanette into the ice and making for
Wrangell land. He gave o similar answer
to question as to whether or not lie Long
took the proper course after the Jeanette
sank.
Such things, he said, must be left to tho
commanding officer. Had never heard of an
Arctic expedition in which there was not
moro or less trouble it was caused by bad
digestion and the monotonous life rather
than by jealousy.

such memorial associations as may apply for
them. To transport them TO tho places at
which they are wanted, and to break them
into fragments small enough to be fused in

more than the old iron is worth. 1t is not prob
able that the secretary of war will DO able to
dispose of many of Uncle Sans old guns in

THE downfall of Mr.. Koene only adds one
more to tho innumerable wrecks that strew
the shore of the Wall street sea of speculation.
Only four or five years ago his wealth was
estimated at sl2OoO,Ooo He is now bank
rupt. Years ago tho bonanza kings let him
in for slice of their big jack pot, and being
a daring operator no quickly amassed giant
fortune. He became one of the biggest fish
in the San Francisco puddle, and when he
came to New York he made great agitation
in the waters of tho Wall street pool for a
considerable length of time, but he was
landed at length. He was purely specu-
lator, paying out enormous sums annually in
commissions. He lost his money as he made
it-gambling. When he analyses his trial
balance he will probably discover that his
shekels were swallowed up by the brokers.
