TEMPERANCE READING.
THE DRuNKARD-MAKER.


Your fathers drunkard.S
said pretty May Bell; -
The scorn OF her accents
No language can tell. N
She wound gold chain
Round her fingers so fair,
ana shook back the long ours
OF her beautiful hair.
And Bess, the drunkard's child.
Bowed her white face.
Feeling deeply, so deeply,
The shame and disgrace.
As she wiped the bright tears
That were falling like rain.
The naughty girl laughed
Who had given her pain.
A boy, brave and bright
As a boy could be,
Was infringing his kite
In tall maple tree;
He could hear every word,
He could see every look:
Poor BeSs with her slate
And her old tattered book.
An indignant flush
Dyed his cheek like q rose.
AS he viewed proud May Bell
In her beautiful clothes.
Down from the W de branch
Quick as thought something fell:
Who made him drunkaril
Win you answer, May Bell?
"0r shall tell the story?
| know it all thr ugh;
John Bell made a drunkard
OF poor William Drew!
He sells him the rum
That's destroying his life
And fast making be ggars
OF children and WifeE'
As he led Bessie on.
Having thus fixed the blame,
May looked after The two
Tn ough her t. a S of shame.
"Oh. can it be true then,
The story he told.
Does my father make drunkards
Of men for their gold!'
Toledo Blcde.

In reference to the statement male by State
Treasurer Cooper that James H. Woodard had
come to him with card severely denouncing
Governor Porter, and asked him to sign it SO
that it might be published, Mr.. Woodard said
yesterday that Cooper had not told the whole
truth about the matter. The card was prepared
and presented, as stated, but its purport was
quite different from what was represented 1t
was addressed TO the Governor and called upon
him to demand, in the name of Mr.. Cooper, who
has no official method of communicating with
the Legislature that an investigation be ordered
of the affairs of the Treasurer of State, so that
he "COPPER" could show .hat his books were all
right, and he could account for every cent that
was charged to him. Naturally enough Mr..
Cooper declined to sign such card, for if there
is any one thing that he evidently does not de-
sire it is an Investigation. 1t was very consid-
crate in ''Jayhawker,n however, to give him a

CINCINNATI, Oct. 22.-The official
count of this county, as it will stand un-
less changed b. action of the courts, was
finished this afternoon by recording the
vote of precinct Il, of the Eighteenth
ward. Judge Buckwalter, in deciding
the mandamus case for that precinct,
said that as Thompson, the Republican
judge, did not witness the count the court
could o compel him to certify to its
accuracy. The other judges had made a
count and had delivered their return in
improper form. He would require them
to present their return in the usual
and proper form, taking care that
they show the date at which it is
made. As to the proof of frauds, the
court said the fact hat s~ixty-nine more
votes were cast thanthere were voters reg
istered, was conclusive that there had
been illegal voting, but it was not clear
that these illegal votes could not be de-
tected by a contest. The courts order to
the judges did mot indicate what should
be done with the return, as that question
was not presented by this proceeding.
When the judges presented their
amended return this afternoon Justice
Sanderson could not be found, and an
other justice of the peace was called to act
in his place. The unofficial footings com
plete make Hoadley's plurality CSC. Ken
NEEDY Republican,, for lieutenant gov
ernor, has a plurality of 734. NJ. f.
Wilson has the highest vote for senator
on the Democratic ticket-34,S 72, and
Richardson the highest on the Republican
ticket-34, 40l. Hardacre is the lowest
on the Republican ticket, having "a, lis.
and Brashears, on The Democratic ticket,
34,5s4. For representatives the variance
is not so great, but the Democratic figures
are all higher than the highest Republi-
can vote. The clerk will probably issue
certificates to all except the senators as
soon as the %footings are made.
The injunction as to senators still holds.
1t was argued all day on the demurrer
and the motion to dissolve, and was not
supplanted by the other proceeding, the
m%andamus before the circuit court, for
the reason that but two of the judges are
here. They called the case and set its
hearing for Monday.

IN COURT.
Ferdinand Ward Arraigned
for Trial.
Judges From the States for

Death of the Mother of Three
Great Tragedians.
Ferdinand Ward In Court.

New York, Oct. 22.-An immense
crowd of people filled the court of Over
and Terminer this morning to listen to
the proceedings of the trial of Ferdinand
Ward. The latter was present in custody
OF the warden of Ludlow street Jail. His
face was pale with his long confinement,
but otherwise he appeared as well as usual.
When the district attorney called Wards
case, Gen. Tracy, Wards council, stated
he desired to withdraw the plea of not
guilty which his client had entered. In
presenting the demurrer the general called
the attention of the court TO the fifth
count in the indictment. lie said it was
for the same offense as that charged in the
first count-larceny and obtaining goods
under false %pretenses. There were, there
fore, two distinct crimes charged in the
different counts of the same Indictment
Judge Barrett replied that if the two
crimes were really but the different as
poets of the same facts they could properly
be embraced under the same indictment.
As the coutt considered the crimes as diff
ferent aspects of the same facts, the de-
murrer was overruled. The prisoner was
called on to plead again, and his counsel
changed his plea to mot guilty" The
work of obtaining a jury then commenced.
Wm. S. Warner, appeared before the
United States commissioner to-day to an
swer to the charge of acting in collision
with Ferdinand Ward to defraud the
Marine bank. Warner was represented
by a large array of counsel, while Assist
ant District Attorney Foster and Tiff
represented the government.
Up to the adjournment of court for the
day, only four jurors were obtained. The
motion of the district attorney that Ward
be confined in the Tombs during the trial
granted by the court, and Ward was
taken to the Tombs by two detectives.
Fish was also handed Y e to two de-
t~ectives, who will have charge of him until
he is examined.

Suicide Through Poverty.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 22.-F. S. Whitley
and wife, who were discovered in a room
at a hotel here yesterday, nearly dead
from the effects of morphine, died this
evening without recovering consciousness.
The case is now generally believed to be
one of suicide. The only plausible theory
as to a cause for the act is that Whitley,
being newly married and finding himself
out Of employment and money, became
Respondent and induced his wife to Join
him in ending their troubles with NOR
phine. Only 20 cents was found in
Whitely's clothes, and it is known hat he
had recently borrowed money Of his ac-
quaintances.

Faith Cure.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. pa most
remarkable case, illustrative of the faith
or mind cure, has Just come to light in
this city. A little 24-year-oId nephew Of
Mr. John Gormley, from Nashville,
Tenn, was brought here to be taken to
the Surgical Institute at indianapolis for
treatment for a .deformed foot, which
turned inward at right angles with the
leg, so that the child walked on its ankle.
Pending the arrival of the chlld's father,
and before it had been taken to Indianap-
oils, his aunt, Mrs. Gormley. who has
gained quite a reputation among our citi-
zens on account of several instances
where she has achieved success in the
faith or nind cure, resolved to test her
powers on her nephew, which she did,
with astonishing success. The child's
foot has gradually Strengthened around
and stands in the same relative position
as the other, and to all appearance is per-
fectly cured. 1t is one of the most re-
markabe cases on record, and is certified
by many of our most reputable citizens,
who saw the child before and since the

Against the Bon Telephone 90

NEW York, Oct. 22.-The Posts
Washington special says: There is great
activity at the patent office on the part
Of companies which arc antagonistic to
the Bell company, to secure a report from
the commissioner of patents to the attor-
ney-general, which will warrant the latter
in authorizing the use of the name of the
United States in a suit for the cancella-
ton Of the Bell patent. Three of such
applications are pending before the com
missioner; one by the Pan Electric com
pany; one by the Baltimore and Wash
ington Telephone company, and a third
which has just been filed, by the Globe
Telephone company. The commissioner
is in a very embarrassing position and I'M
doubtedly will be subjected 10 a great
deal Of political pressure. 1t is reported
in telephone circles that Commissioner
Montgomery in his report as TO these sew.
cnl applications will not undertake 10 "a
into the general question of the scientific
character Of the invention, but will c1niine
himself to a report Of the facts as he 6nds
them in the records of the patent ofico.
