in the case of this alderman one hun
dred and five grains, and the time occu-
pied in taking it was three days. Medical
experts testified that this amount OF quinine
would be likely to produce this result, as it
undoubtedly might in man with the pro-
pensities of New York alderman. Unfortu-
nately the complainant grew SO sympathetic
over the tale of the alderman that he with
drew the complaint, SO the public was denied
a judicial decision as to whether quinine is
better defence than rum, which is usually
held to be no defence at all. One result of
the case will undoubtedly be that New York
aldermen will hereafter get drunk on qul-

Judging from his letter to the New York
Tribune Gen. Badeau, who lately resigned
the consul generalship at Havana, is in a
highly excited state Of mind. He is appar-
emily very much cut up because the State
department concluded treaty with Spain
of which he did not approve, and did not
adopt bis advice in several other matters.
The wonder is that Gen. Badeau did not
call upon the Secretary Of State to resign
instead of resigning himself. Doubtless he

Rev. Mr.. Newman's sermon on Sunday
was on ''the forgiveness of our enemies"
Mr.. Newman thought the injunction of the
Sermon on the Mount to love your enemies,
was not to be taken literally. His idea of
the proper way to treat enemies was first to
watch them, second to pray for them, and
third to forgive them when they confess
their wrong. Deacon Ranney, who is the
leader of the anti-Newman faction, listened
to the sermon and pronounced it good one.
Meanwhile the church is in the hands of
the law, and Mr.. Newman, before he can
hold meeting in it, has to ask permission

Sir William Hsrcourt's bill for the gov
eminent of London, which is likely to be
adopted by Parliament, creates central
council of 240 members to be elected by
household suffrage and to have supreme au-
thority over the whole metropolitan area.
Thirty-nine district or local councils are
created with authority to make up the local
budgets or estimates, but not to raise money
or exercise any power save such as is dele
gated by the central council. There will be
no aldermen. The government is a purely
parliamentary one with full responsibility
centering in the council, and its practical
working will be watched with deep interest
by every other large city in the world.

Business at a Low Ebb--Crop Reports.


New YORK, July 19.-SpeciaI tel.
egrams to BrddStreet's from leading
cities Throughout the United States
report business at a low ebb. At
Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Paul it
Is noticeable that the outlook, based
on travellers advices and on the pres
ence of buyers and other indications,
is more favorable than elsewhere.
Boston also notices the beginning of
Autumn orders, and in New York
there has been an influx of Southern
and Western merchants which
strengthens the position of the mark
cts.
The tightness of the money market
for commercial discounts continues,
rates ranging from 6 percent here to
10Y in Kansas City. Single name pa
per is being generally refused, and.
except for specified legitimate trade
wants by regular customers, the com
mercial community is finding itself
cut off from opportunities to extend
operations. At the interior this course
is necessitated in order to obtain
funds sufficient to remove the crops.
In the Northwest some anxiety is
felt on the latter account.
Our telegraph advices from these
regions corroborate previous reports
of an exceptionally large crop Of
wheat of excellent quality and tend
to raise the conservative estimate of
46S. 200, 900 bushels as the total yield.
The trade outlook West appears to
hinge largely on the prospective de
mand for new wheat. If it is suffi-
cient to bring 1t rapidly to the mark

There has been fair movement in

that her mind was weak, they were
not willing to pronounce her insane.
She appeared to be perfectly infatu-
ated with Platter, and declared that
she would marry him at any cost.
Efforts were made to induce her to
POSTPONE the marriage until DR., Rich
ardson arrived, She would not,
however, agree to this proposition.
AS soon as the couple were dis
charged they left police headquarters
and went to the City Hall and OBJ
tanned marriage license, They
went to the house of PlateY's sister,
who lives in Washington, to have
the ceremony performed.

She is tall and gaunt and far from
good looking. She acts like person

Ran Away with a Negro.

Miss Helen Owens, daughter Of the
late DIR. Thomas Owens, of Anne
Arundel county, shocked her friends
and relatives on Monday by clipping
with a cOlored man named Jessie
Platter. Miss Owens lived with her
brother in law, DR.. Henry Richard
son, at Bristol Station, Anne Arua-
del.county. She is weak minded and
has been the cause of a great deal of
sOlicitude on the part other relatives,
She left her home on Monday night
in company with Platter, walked to
Mulliken's Station, on the Pope's
Creek railroad, and took the train
yesterday morning for Washington.
On the cars Miss Owens was recog-
nized by several persons who saw
her seated with her dusky lover. She
was heavily yelled and seemed tC be
avoiding recognition. 1t was at once
surmised that she was clipping with
Platter, and the matter was brought
to the attention of Captain Bibby, the
conductor, and Elk Governor Bowie,
who was on the train. and who is a
friend Of Miss Owens family. They
were pOwerless to do anything to
stop the foolish girl.
In the mean time DIR. Richardson
had been informed of the affair, and
having ascertained that Washington
was the destination of Miss Owens
and Platter, telegraphed the police of
that city to place them under arrest.
They were arr ested at Benner's Sta
ton by Officer Prather and taken to
police headquarters and held until
last evening, but as there is no law in
the District of Columbia prohibiting
the interms rriage Of theraces, and as
there was no charge against them by
which they could be detained, they
were released.
An effort was made to hold Miss
Owens on a charge Of insanity, and
she was examined by Drs. McKim
and Bsyne, but while they believed

A Stirring Protest,

After the platform had been read,
Gen. Butler protested against the in
sincere and misleading utterance up
on the tariff question, in the name
of 100000 workiDgInen whom he
warned the convention not to turn
away. He said:
II claim it to be the duty of the gov
emment to foster American enter
prise and labor. represent here over
800, 900 labOring men. Applause. |
I have brought their condition before
you. / ask for no gift for them, but
l ask if you take anything from them
tiSlt in such way as to hurt them
as little as possible. Applause. Can
you do without them? / think not.
If it took these able gentlemen SO
hours to find out what they wanted
and frame a tariff plank, how long
will it take the laborIng men to I'M
derstand it? The committee spent
all that timeto say what would mean
one thing read one way at one time,
and another thing when read at an
other time. 1t does not mean pro.
lection. Colonel Morrison is too hon.
est to bring it here if it did mean
protection. Yet it may be twisted tC
mean that. In 1880 you adopted q
plank for revenue only and lost now
you say for revenue exclusively.
What is the difference? This is ne
child's play. and success depends OF
the action taken. If you cannot say
to the workingmen that you NEAR
protection. God help you, for can
not. Your platform says that y0l
won't cut down duties so that labo
will he injured. 1t nowhere says tina
you will not discriminate against tn,
real interests CT labor. Applause.
The Democratic party has held eve
since JacksOn'S time that a tariff die
afford protection TO labor. IfColone
Morrison does not believe it he reject
an old doctrine"
This protest had little effect, though
III delegates voted for substitute
presented by Gen. Butler, and til
platform as reported by the commit
tee was adopted.
