Two legal firms of st. Louis sent in a
bill ofSl00, 600 to the gas company for services
in a recent suit, which reminds the Globe.
Democrat of an incident related of a Russian
count who was visiting in Paris. He went to
a restaurant for dinner one day, and, on call.
ing for his bill, found, among other items, a
charge of fifteen f~rancs-three dollars-for
two peaches. peaches must be scarce, 81
said he. in establishment. "No, sir" replied
the waiter, peaches are not scarce, but Rus.
sian counts are.' The CD. remarks that in
the gas case it may be said that lawyers are
not scarce, but gas companies are.
This reminds me of the landlord
of a country "hotsl," who had but
one guest in the course of twelve months, and
who put IN an appearance on the last dayo of the
year. The next morning he asked what his
bill was, and was told that it was 81, 800. do
you charge all your guests at that rate?' the
traveller inquired. THAT was my rate per
day last year." said the landlord. How
many guests did you have!' "Only one, and
that was yourself" was the reply. "Oh, I
see" said the victim, "you have to average up
in some way, and I suppose I'll have to stand
it," That's about the case with the st. Louis
lawyers. They have had but one suit during
a long period, and they are obliged to aver
age up at the expense of the gas company,
but / am led to remark that as between the
legal fraternity and gas companies 1T IS about
a stand.otf. The customers of the st. Louis
gas company will have to pay that legal fee
if the company knows how to work the me
tera, and 1 rather think it does.

BIGELOW ON HIS DIGNITY
HE DECLINES TO ACCEPT THE
OFFICE OFFERED HIM.

Belief that he Considers IL Beneath
His Notico-Gov. Tildsn's Unsuccess-
full Attempt to have Him Made secre-
tary OF State or Minister 10 the Court
of st. james.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.--Mr. Bigelow'a
letter to the President declining to accept
the Office OF Assistant United States Trea-
surer at New York, will not be given out
for publication at present. Col. Lamont
said tonight: "Mr. BIgelow's declina-
tion Is solely because OF his disinclination
TO assume the great responsibilities OF the
office, and It's duties being not congeni al
to his tastes.p
CREATES BREEZE.
The resignation OF Mr.. Bigelow was the
chief topic Of the politicians to-day. It
was not anticipated. The President
knew nothing of IL until he received a
long letter from Mr.. Blgelow announcing
it. Mr.. Bigelow's letter probably does
not contain the principal reason for his
declinatiOn. This is understood TO be
belief that the Assistant Treasurership
at New York is beneath his dignity.
Samuel j. rilden recommended Mr., Bige-
low TO the President for Secretary OF state
when the President was making up his
Cabinet. The President did not appoint
Mr.. Bigelow Secretary Of state. Subse-
quently MIR. Tilden wanted Mr.. Bigelow
appointed Minister TO England.
AGAIN OVERLOOKED.
The President did not see fit TO make
this appointment. Now that the Presi-
dent has given Mr.. Bigelow an Office
which Mr.. Bigelow regards as a sinecure,
Mr.. BigelOw refuses II. 1t was reported
to-day that Col. Lamont's mission inl
New York last week was IN connections
with the resignation of Mr.. Bigelow, but
it is understood that Col. Lamont's errand
there was OF an entirely different nature.i
Some OF the New Yorkers think that the
very polite appointments made by Gov.
Hin on his military staff yesterday were
suggested by Col. Lamont at the inter-
view be had with Gov. Hill the other
m morning,
THE PRESIDENCY OF THE SENATE.
Senator Mitchell, OF Oregon, Is quoted
as having said in conversation to-day that,
If he had been present in the Senate when
Mr.. sherman was elected President pro
tempore he would have voted for Demo-
crat instead. He would not have voted
for Mr.. Harris, Of Tennessee, OF any other
ex-Confederate. but he would have
thrown his support 10 favor Of some Un-
ion Democrat. He believes the Demo-
Gratis are entitled 10 any advantage that
may accrue TO them during their cons
tinuance In power and that 10 have
given them Vice President Of their own
selection would have been one OF the
strongest bids for popular favor that the
Republicans could have made.

Two Resolutions of Interest u Army

WASHINGTON, Dec. PA Sunday pa
per says that two resolutions will be in-
troduced in the House when Congress- re-
assemblies of special interest to army

PRONUNCIATION OF general order So, better
known as the "Aide de Camp Order"

officers aides to four years. The other
resolution is intended TO bring before
Congress in order to devise some remedy
there for the anomalous condition OF
affairs existing in the Judge Advocate
Generals Department. 1t will be re-
membered that the result of the Swain
court-martial left that department prac-
tically without a chief.

Twenty Persons, Including Several
Women, Dangerously Injured.
DUBLIN, Dec. 27.-Evidences OF more
than ordinary bad feeling among the local
factions in Ireland have forcibly shown
themselves recently and continue to give
the municipal and police authorities very
great concern. An example of the in-
creasing irritation manifested itself yes
terday when a house in Creogh lane. Linn
erick, occupied by man named Blake,
was besieged by his political opponents.
The assault seems to have been expected
and the friends of Blake were not slow in
rallying TO his defense. They immedi-
ately engaged in desperate conflict with
the besieging party.
WOMEN TAKE A HAND.
Women, as well as men, took sides In
the battle, and sticks, stones, guns and
pistols were handled with savage earnest
ness. 1t was fully two hours before the
police, who were called upon to dispense
the crowds and arrest the rioters, sue
ceeded In restoring order. The latest ac-
counts record at least twenty persons, in
cluding several women. dangerously
wounded in the battle. The police, who
were not at first able to command the
peace, were reinforced as soon as that
fact was evident, and, with their aug
mented force, succeeded in making large
number of arrests.
TORIES AND LIBERALS UNITING.
LONDON, Dec. 27.-The Economist, re-
ferring to the political situation, says:
''The Tories and Liberals have drawn
nearer together and resolved TO reject the
crude proposal for an independent Irish
Parliament. The British Parliament is
undertaken a hopeless and impossible
task in attempting to make So members
dictate to 454 members.

THE SILVER COINAGE QUESTION

Senator McPherson Preparing to Ex-

TRENTON, Dec. Ex-senator McPher-
son, of this State, is busily engaged dur
ing the holiday recess in preparing a
speech on the silver coinage question.
The speech will not only be in reply to
Senator Beck, but it will also embrace
the views of the bankers and brokers of
the country and of the President.
Senator Mcpherson and President Cleve-
land have frequently consulted respect
ing the silver coinage question. Mr.. Nc
Pherson's speech will probably be the
only speech delivered in the Senate by a
Democrat against silver. Mr.. Mcpherson
has given the subject careful study, aud
has obtained the opinions of leading New
York tinanciers. His arguments will be

cover all the ground. No Republican SEN
atOr will advance a stronger argument on

-Minister Francis Version OF the
Cause of Austria's Action.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The Tribune will
tomorrow publish an interview with
John n. Francis, lately United States
minister to Austria, in which he says he
did not understand the Austrian govern
ment to base its objection to receiving
Mr.. Kelley either on the fact that his wife
was Jewess or their marriage only
beng a civil contract, nor is there any
truth in the statement tnat the rejection
was due to the Intervention of Italy. Mr..
Francis attributes the rejection of Mr..
Kelley 10 his want of political tact
as manifested by his speeches.
The Austrian government, he says,
has a most friendly feeling for
the United States, and in his opinion
the breaking off of diplomatic relations
between the two countries would operate
iniuriously to our interests.

KANSAS CITY, Dec, 27.-Christmas
night at Little Blue, No., Frank Vaughn
was married to Eliza Swope. I'M
mediately after the ceremony while
Vaughn and his wife were standing at
window they were fired at from outside,
the ball grazing yaughn's head. 1t was
thought the shot was fired by
Abram Nave, a cousin OF the bride
who had threatened that il she did not
marry him he would shoot the man she
should marry. Last night Nave visited
the Vaughns at Argentine, Kan. and said
the reports OF the Christmas affair worried
his mother, and asked that Vaughn and
his wife accompany him to his home
and deny that they suspected him. This
morning they started on horseback.
When half the journey was completed,
Nave rode up TO the buggy and shot
Vaughn dead. He then rode home, and,
upon the approach of officers, killed him.
