he carried a watch. for the station house
clock hadn't been running for months, he

A PREACHER IN TROUBLE.
A New York Divine Held to Answer tC
Charge of Bastardy.
Special Telegram to the Globe

New YORK, March 13-An interesting
trial was in progress in the special session
court room of the Tombs to-day, and hun
dreds of would-be spectators were
turned away. Under the new code a
defendant in "certain' criminal cases
may ask for private examination. The re-
quest was made to-day and the justices were
obliged to obey it. The defendant was the
Rev. G. II. H umphrey, pastor of Welsh
Presbyterian church of this city. The COM
plainant was Laura A. Jones, of 349 West
Seventh street. She is about twenty-five
years of age and good looking. She wore q
seal skin sacque and black silk dress. She is
member of Mr.. Humphreys church
San exhibit in the case was a ten-weeks
old girl baby It was a quiet little thing, and
didn't look like anybody in particular,
but Miss Jones said Rev. Mr. Humphrey is
its father.
Mr.. Humphrey has been pastor of the
church seven years, and is about thirty-fve
years of age. He was arrested on
Miss Jones' complaint that he was the
father of her child, and that she
had no means of support but was likely tc
become charge on the county. Mr.. Hum.
phrey was called as a witness. He denied
that he was the father of her child and said
there had never been improper relations be-
tween himself and Miss Jones. The exami
nation was adjourned for q week. A ma

During the vote following pairs were an
nounced: Beck aye with Hale no; Cameron,
Wis, aye with George no; Miller, N. Y, no
with Camden aye; Plumb no with Vest aye;
Sawyer no with Kenna aye. The motion to
go into executive session was agreed to, but
while the doors were being closed it was dis
covered the preamble to the bill had not been
passed, and motion to secure its immediate
passage was made. Edmunds, however, in
sisted that the order of the senate be first
executed, so the doors were closed and i'm
mediately reopened. The preamble then
passed, 33 yeas, % nays. During the vote
Miller, of New York, expressed a wish to
vote, and without objection he transferred
Camdens pair to Aldrich, who was now alb
sent Miller then voted no.
Before the preamble was passed Senator
Hawley expressed hope that the majority
would spare the senate from vote annull-
ing the decision of the court martial, which
was as lawfully constituted authority as the
supreme court of the United States.
Senator Conger remarked, it was disgrace
enough to have been member of body
which would pass such bill, if that was dis
grace, or honor enough if that was an honor,
but the preamble was something no senator
should vote for.
The preamble to the bill as passed recites
that the board of officers convened by the
president to examine and report upon the
case of General Porter, stated that JUS
tice required the president to an
null the findings and sentence of
the court martial in General Porter's
case, and restore him to the position of
which the sentence deprived him, such
restoration to take effect from the date Of
dismissal from the service; that the president
shall remit so much of the sentence as dis
qualified Gen. Porter from holding office,
and that in order to do justice to Gen. Por-
ter it was enacted, etc. The bill then au-
thorizes the president, by, and with the adj
vice and consent of the senate, to appoint
Gen. Porter to the position of colonel in the
army, the same grade and rank held by him
at the time Of his dismissal, and authorizes
the president, in his discretion, to place Gen.
Porter on the retired list of that grade. Gen.
Porter, however, to receive no compensation
or allowance prior to his appointment under
the act. Adjourned.

SKIPPED WITH THE FUNDS.
A Peoria Representative of Chicago
House EmbeZZles $4,000.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

CHICAGO, March 13.-George H. Nc Clellan,
representative in Peoria of West, Andrews
& Co., of this city, has disappeared, and it is
alleged $12, 900 of the firms money has ac-
companied him. Mcclellan was con-
sidered ladies' man, and one
or two episodes in his life
which became..known induces the belief that
he was a man of many admirers. For ex-
ample, Mcclellan was stopping at Peoria with
a woman whom he called his wife; he was
visited by another woman who claimed to
stand in that relation to him and in order to
avoid trouble he entered into some monetary
arrangement with her.
Mr. West of the firm was seen with regard
to the embezzlement of $12, 900 of the firm IS
money by Mcclellan. He stated that he
never had any reason to suspect the default
erwho to all outward appearances was steady
going married man. The money could not,
he thought, have been spent in dissipation,
but probably in unlucky lard speculations.
The firm was determined to bring
the delinquent to justice. sI'n give
500 to find out where he is" said Mr.. West,
Sand $500 to see him behind the bars for ten
years. I've put the matter in the hands OF
solicitors. Mcclellan is family man and
won't stay away long. He is sure to come
back" AS to his alleged second wife Mr..
West said: ''She is highly respectable lady
but whether she was married to him or not
I do not known He was ignorant of her
whereabouts.

weeks the first OF May will find the granaries
at the eastern seaboard entirely depleted OF
supplies, and as the receipts from the interior
during that time promise to be little
more than sufficient to meet
the increasing milling demand
from points between this and the Atlantic
markets it is evident that replenishment OF
stocks at the latter points can only be made
by corresponding reduction here and at
other large western points, from whence such
supplies are drawn. Turning to foreign
supplies, We find still more rapid diminu-
ton, the demand of the united kingdom for

Shepard & Peacock say of corn: ''The
position and we note continued tendency
on the part of prominent bears to gradually
cover the lines, the milder weather not tend
ing to str engthen their position"
Milmine, Boadman & Co. say of wheat
"We think the market in shape now to be
forced lower. 1t is really nothing but
great big scalping trade. Wheat is fully SC
too high for any legitimate use. The long
futures of corn will do to buy on all soft
places.'
Crittenden 6, Harvey say: ''The wheat
market acts as though the short interest had
been largely covered, and yet current prices
should command good buying. But the mar
ket is purely a scalping one, and in the abb
sence of any leading it is safe either to buy
on sharp breaks or sell on bulges. Corn,
the general feeling continues rather conf
dent, but we do not like the constant accu-
mutation of stocks, and believe itpolicy for
while to sell long stuff on the rallies and en-
deavor to buy ON sharp breaks. We think
June or July futures will get to safe buying
point for big advance soon, and would
work into those months, as we believe pre-
miums will increase from this out.

MORE OF THE FENIANS.
Their Activity at Fargo, Their Base of
Operations, Continues
Unabated.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.I


FARGO, March 13.-Some additional par
ticulars have been gathered to-day in regard
to the movements of the Fenians here. The
efforts of the leaders to keep their operations
secret renders it difficult to obtain exact data,
but it is learned that the committee appointed
yesterday consisted of twenty-six members
and NJ. G. Mcclure as chairman. Ten have
gone to Winnipeg, and there seems to be
satisfaction with some reports received from
there. A meeting of the committee was
held to-day over saloon, and at the time a
Fenian was in the room below with two
agents of the Canadian government, whom
the latter had paid $50 to give the matter
away. He took the money aud pnt them on
a false scent.
There is reason to believe that 1900 gov
received recently. Captain Hadly, an old
soldier and citizen, has been elected captain,
but whether he has accepted or whether there
are any privates in the command is not
learned. Among leading Fenians of
Chicago now in the city are VIM.
Sheehan and Dan Kirk, the latter a soldier in
the Union army. 1t is predicted by Fenians
here that there will be lively time in
Manitoba within few weeks. They claim
that the Ontario government has 1000 avail
able troops, and that the line of communi-
cation with Manitoba will be interrupted
when necessary.

they do not believe it is right that you should.

people will speak it to you.
hereafter. Your confederacy could regulate
its own court martial, while you had con-
federacy. But sirs, do not come here in
numbers sufficient to put back in our army
the men who failed US, and thus destroy the
discipline of our army, cast slurs upon the
men who did their duty, trample in the dust
their bones, and put stigma upon the names
of the Union soldiers. Let not your feelings
go so far. If you do, I assure you, that more
years than you think will pass over
your head before you will have the confidence
OF the American npeople. ''This was
an act of injustice, Logan asserted, "not
only to the army, but to all the loyal people
of the country, an injustice to the memory
of the faithful dead, an injustice to Abraham
Lincoln and those associated with him. Thou
who vert friends of the Union in the hour of
its trial, should not falter now in its time Of
triumph, while every day poor crippled Off
GERS were applying to the military committee
to be put on the retired list, and could not
succeed. Were we to put this man Porter
there, and while the faithful wounded soldiers
were receiving a paltry pension of IS a
month, how could the senate pass bill to
give salary of $4,000 year to
man who, in the hou. of peril, had failed
to perform his duty to his country.
The war for the union has been fought to
preserve great government, and preserve
equality and justice. If this bill passed and
this wrong was done, it would be declaring to
the world that those who failed in the hour
trial were the men who should now be hon
ored, and that the glory Of the union army
could as we'll be maintained by honors lost, as
by honors won, that the principle would have
most demoralizing effect upon our army
and upon the country. The idea of replac
ing such man in his position was too revolt
ing to Logan's notion of right and justice.
Senator Conger expressed desire to
amend the bill by striking out the word ''the"
and inserting the words IAN additional be-
fore the words retired list of the army"
He Directing, he said, to save from disgrace
the regular retired list of the army, and have
a separate retired list provided for Gen. Port

The chair declared the bill not subject to
at this time, except for addition
al sections. The bill was then read third
time and passed, SO yeas,25 nays. The result
was received with mingled applause and Misses

A BROOKLYN SENSATION.
The Wife of A Distinguished Pastor
Sues For a Divorce Because of
Cruel Treatment.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

New YORK, March 13.-Mrs. GenevicYe
J. Hubbard, wife of the pastor of the most
fashionable church in Brooklyn, to-day began
proceedings for divorce suit against
her husband, the Rev. Warren Hub
bard, for cruel and inhuman treatment.
The defendant is pastor of st. Paul's Episco-
pal church, Brooklyn. The church is one of
the handsomest edifces in the city and is
deliberately decorated. The services are high
church and the music is furnished by choir
of men and boys. The congregation is large
and the most wealthy and fashionable in the
city. DR.. Hubbard has been
connected with the church as
pastor some time and stood very
high in the estimation of his parishioners.
He has also been highly esteemed by the bish-
op of the diocese and from the beginning of
his pastorate until recently there never has
been even shadow of scandal thrown across
the pathway of his life. Mrs. Hubbard was
at one time well known leader of society in
this city. Like her husband she always
stood high in the social scale.

desire for pleasure. She wishedto mix more

NFw YORK, March 13-Stocks opened ac-
tive and strong, with cash sales of New York
Central at 122 which was "a above the close
last night. AS the short interest was re-
duced the price fell to 100. This caused a
weaker feeling throughout. The West Shore
bonds advanced to Sc and displayed consid
cradle strength. Pacific Mail was decidedly
buoyant The market became quite dull
during the middle hours and so remained
for the balance of the day. 1t is expected
that the return Of Mr. Gould to the street will
impart more life. The bears are becoming
very wary and are slow in attacking the bet
ter class of stocks. Many operators who
have become somewhat disguised with
the apathy witnessed on the exchange amuse
themselves by taking flyers inthe grain mark
cts. The short interest in Central & Hudson
appears to be nearly eliminated. d. 1t is not
expected that the shipments of gold on Satur-
day will be heavy. Lake Shore 81 st. Paul
are spoken of as likely to be marked up on
the shorts, who have still large lines out.
There were sales of Alton at 1351l@135%.
The day closed on dull and uninteresting
market, business being nearly at stand still
and prices at about the lowest.

amendment providing that periodical publ
cations other than daily newspapers, when
delivered within the city wherein they are
published, shall be charged with the same
postage as is now, or may be imposed by
law in such publications when delivered
elsewhere, than in the city of publications.
Mr.. Horr moved to strike out the proviso,
that the land grant railroads shall receive for
mail transportation but so per cent. of the
compensation allowed other roads. He said,
the proviso would work injustice to fifty little
roads, for it did not effect Union and Central
Pacifics.
Mr.. Shaw opposed the motion.
Mr.. Dun inquired, why the committee on
appropriations had not extended the 80 per
cent provision to the Union and Central
Pacific railroads.
Mr.. Holman replied, they had not been in
Guided, because the committee was of the
opinion that the government could be better
protected by amending the sinking fund law,
than by draining the revenues into the post
office department from these roads.
Mr.. Cameron opposed the proviso as IN
just and inequitable.
Mr.. Mills thought the compensation allowed
ali the railroads enormous, and gave notice
OF the amendment reducing it 10 per cent.
Mr.. Belford favored the fifty per cent
clause, because it contained substantive
assertion of the power of congress to control
the land grant railroads.
The committee rose for the purpose of
limiting the debate on the pending para
graph. Townshend suggested one hour but
Horr, representing the Republican side
asked three hours. Townshend
then moved the debate be
closed at O'Clock, but this was not acceptable
to the Republican side, and on demand for
the previous question body of Republicans
abstained from voting, but didn't succeed in
breaking the quorum.
Mr.. Wait, who voted in the affirmative,
moved to reconsider and table that motion,
and pending this, Horr moved to adjourn.
This being voted down on a yea and nay
vote, Waits motion was agreed to. And the
hour OF five having arrived, the house on
motion by Towhshend, adjourned.
