PHILADELPHIA, March 2S.-The National
Gen. c. H. Grosvenor of Ohio was elected
president for the ensuing year. The follow
ing resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, That the secretary be directed to
open CORES pondence with any organization
having for its cardinal principle the protec-
ton to American industry with view.to
mutual cooperation in the following objects
and aims added to the code of principles of
the league: Protection to home industry
as opposed to the ruinous policy of
free trade. American policies and
purposes, securing to all citizens
of the republic the enjoyment Of the rights
to which they are entitled by birth or natura
alizatiOn, and securing to worbingmen the
largest liberty in the pursuit of employment
consistent with law and order. Enactment
OF such laws and provisions for their en-
forcement as may be necessary to secure to
every citizen of each state and territory in
the American Union free ballot at all cleo
tons, together with a fair count and faithful
return of the same Such amendments
from time to time, of the state and federal
constitutions as shall become necessary to
protect society from the causes and effects of
vice and crime and secure such
reforms in our social, educational,
industrial and political systems
as shall cultivate virtue and promote the
welfare of our people. A system of primary
elections regulated by law, enabling all cti-
zens to aid in the nomination of candidates
for elective offices, throwing around the
primary every safeguard now provided at
local and general elections.
Pensions for Union soldiers, wives and
children, and resistance to every attempt to
embrace in the pension lists those who fought
against the flag of our common country, and
yet forgiveness and forgetfulness, as far as
possible, of treason, disloyalty of individuals
aud states, and the use of every means con-
sistent with patriotism to unite in bonds of
fraternity and peace the citizens of all por-
tons of the American Union.

The University Race.

PUTNEY, March 2S.-The university boat
race between Cambridge aud Oxford came
off this morning. The river banks were
lined with spectators, the water smooth and
the conditions favored the Oxford crew.
Both got off well together, but the Oxford
soon took the lead and main tanned it to the
end, winning by two lengths. The result of
the race was in accordance with the betting.
The start was five to four in favor of Oxford.
During the first quarter of mile the boats
kept pretty evenly together; then the Cam
bridge made a squirt and got its boat slightly
ahead. This advantage was maintained only
a short time for by the end of the first
mile the Oxonians had drawn up
even with their rivals once more
and by The time the Hammersmith Soap
Works were reached, half mile further on,
they were well in the lead. Cambridge
struggled manfully, but at Hammersmth
bridge all hope of their success was practic-
ally abandoned. They seemed to be done
for, and the race was already as good as won.
Oxford from this point continued to increase
the distance between the boats, and at CHS
wick church, were three good lengths ahead
and rowing a nice clear stroke. The Cam
bridge crew were here steering badly, the
boat running close to the Middlesex shore.
The Oxford rowed easily toward the close
ana came In at the finish in excellent form.

Unions gain, as that auxiliary has secured
his services to lecture on prohibition for the
next four years through the United States,
principally through the Southern states,
where he is well acquainted with the habits
of the colored people, having resided there
several years. He will lecture in connection
with Miss Frances Willard, cx-Gov, ST.

few weeks ago barber and wife arrived
in the city, where he obtained work. One
day last week woman, stranger, stepped
into the barber shop while he was at work
and presenting revolver at his head said :
$50 you have changed your nameP' One
of the other employees of the shop sprang and
caught the revolver. She and the barber
went to the back part of the shop and had a
long talk and both went out. She left by the
Omaha road via the junction for Hudson,
while he went, after packing and taking his
clothes with him, to the same point by the
River Falls road, leaving his wife here. 1t
appears that the barber and strange woman
had lived together six or seven years in
GAINESVILLE, Wis, where they had barber
shop, she being also skillful manipulation of
the razor. They were not married. He left
her some time ago and married the woman
with whom he came here. There is no
doubt that he and the stranger have gone off
together.

The Means by Which Changers Are Robbed

an the corner of Wabasha and Seventh

gave the crowd some valuable pointers.
He said: "Mauy people imagine that the

A BRAKEMAN'S ADVENTURE.

81 will never forget an experience Of mine
in Montana little over two years ago." said
Brakeman Schultz, of the Northern Pacific,
yesterday as he was standing at the union
depot.
There were Andrews the conductor,
Wyley the engineer, Colby the fireman, and
myself running No. 8 passenger on the Mon-
tana division, and one night about dusk we
were getting out of Miles City when red
light was seen by the engineer and he
stopped the train. Just as it stopped about a
each with brace of revolVers in his belt, got
into the coaches, while few more guarded
the engine. / knew trouble was coming as
soon as | saw them get on, and l took seat
among the passengers. The conductor did
not appear at first to realize that anything
was wrong. but went to the forward part of
the coach to see what was up when half a
dozen of the buckskin-elad boys grabbed him
and set him upon the coal box. He pro-
tested, but the boys paid no attention, other
than to tell him not to move finger as
they were going to shoot the heels of his
boots off. rather enjoyed the fun though l
laid mighty close, fearing that l would be
noticed; but they didn't before the conductor
was short the heels of his boots. He was
white as a snow fake. but he held up bravely
fearing miscalculated shot. They then
caught me and tied me and a passenger
back to back and set US over seat and then
commenced betting among themselves which
would pull the other over. The stakes were
put up and then two of them got progs and
began touching us up with them. The fellow
l had pitted against me was a Swede, and
neither of us had any show to pull the other
over; then resorted to strategem, and when
they gave the Swede prog and he jun ped
about foot, I pulled hard and he came
flying over the seat, and he went so far over
that he near broke my back. We were
loosened then, and they took the Swede's
boots off and stood him on his head, and
then played the bastinado on the soles of his
feet. Well, you'd a. died laughing to hear
that poor fellow below, entreat, pray and
cuss those cowboys, and although my legs
were smarting from some lances l got, just
roared. After they thought they had done
enough mischief they shot out the lights and
left the train firing salute as they departed.
Not many of the boys know about it, for the
conductor paid the Swede a fve-dollar bill to
keep quiet and he set 'em up to me pretty
lively all along the line.''

Police Paragraphs. .

There was dance on the upper levee Sat
urday night, at which liquid inspiration con-
tributed no small share 10 the enjoyment of
the evening. The light fantastic was tripped
until well on toward Sunday moruing-in
fact until the erstwhile nimbe heel aud toe
had become quite groggy. 1t became neees-
sary 10 contribute some new pleasantly to
revive the dropping and berry
spirits, so Peter Connors and
F. j. Law obligingly volunteered
a fight as little diversion. 1t was heaps of
fun for the participants, but the officers
couldn't be brought to look upon it in that
light and therefore stopped the sport. Dis
orderly conduct was charged against the two
principal offenders, who were allowed TO de-
part upon planking down $50 bail cash.
They will pay for their fun this evening.

port Of the Transfer Co.

Dr.: Dunn on Temperance.

| Last evening DR.. Dunn delivered most
| eloquent temperance sermon to large con-
| gregation. He took as his text Revelations
xiv, s, Babylon is fallen also Daniel ", A.,
| They drank wine and praised the gods OF
gold. Subject, Bal ylon's Doom and
Its Causes, or Our City and the
Liquor Traffic. He gave a historical sum-
mary of Daniel, fifth chapter, showing the
doom of Babylon and the reason for its fall (;
| that the very conditions which were at work
to produce the fall of this ancient city would
also destroy any other city. Our own city is
no exception to the rule. Certain principles,
all must confess, are subversive OF the ends
| of good government. / am here tonight to
remind you of the terrible fact that the city
of Saltwater has allowed within her gates the
elements which make for evil. And as we
note the doom of Babylon and the causes OF
its fall, we will see that the same influences
are to-day at work in our otherwise excel
lent city. The causes are many. l will
mention three.
First-The mockery, scorn and blasphemy
which existed among its inhabitants were the
cause of Babylon's doom. Scornful men
bring city into snare. Gods name was
dishonored in Babylon that fateful day. The
city that mocks or scorns God and the
Christian religion will reap the fruit of its
conduct. Judgments await the scorner. and
the city must be affected by the conduct OF
its Inhabitants. Babylon was. Saltwater is.
Secoud-Their dissertation of the sacred
vessels of the temple to impious ends was a
cause of her doom. BY this act the God Of
the unoffending captives was insulted. The
dissertation of sacred vessels may not be the
sin of our city, but the dissertation of our
sacred Sabbath is. The liquor traffic is re-
CARELESS of the Sabbath, and this breakage of
Gods law makes for the moral overthrow of
our city.
Third-Its drunkenness was the doom of
Babylon. The Modes did for drunken city
in one day what two years of sieges we're un-
able to do to sober people. Its ruin came
from itself, not from Modes. Babylon sui
cided, and so will we suicide if we give full
sway to the liquor traffic.
The liquor business is an enemy to the
tax paying citizen, and an enemy to public
schools, homes and religion. How shall we
suppress it! l believe rather in its extinc-
ton. But if l cannot get what wish, l will
take what can get. And so am here, as
the most feasible and only thing to do now,
to advocate for our city The continuation of
the high license ordinance. The man who
said he could have gotten home safe that
night had it not been for that other saloon
spoke the philosophy of the high license
movement. Avert as much evil as possible
from yOur civ

on his net loss, Mr.. Emil Geist 10 per cent.
Messrs. Myers & Finch 10 per cent and
Messrs. Glenny & Gilman 80 per cent. as an
operating fund. Pinkerton's agency was
employed and all means put forward to cap
ture the rascal. Printed descriptions and
Autograph copies of two of his letters were
sent to all prominent jewelers. and other
merchants in the line of his usual operations,
but with no effect whatever. 1t was through
the sheerest accident that he was at last cap
tured the credit of which belongs to Mr.. j.
Walter Stevens, the architect, of this city.
This gentleman, who has friends in Worces-
ter, Mass, received Spy, dated March 10,
giving an account of the death of. an ac-
quaintance. Among other items am article
describing the operations of a swindler,
who had been captured in Boston, attracted
his attention.
smooth-talking and well-appearing man
representing himself to be member OF
William Allen IL Co., prominent firm OF
Worcester, visited Boston for the ostensible
purpose of opening branch house in that
CITY, He ordered several suits of clothes,
office furniture and diamonds, and negotiated
for the purchase of SIS, 900 worth of Western
bonds and mortgages. One of the tailors,
misunderstanding his directions, wrote to
William Alien 81 Co. asking where to send
the clothes. They replied that they had not
ordered any clothes. Upon the assertion
that a member of the firm had ordered suit
Mr.. Allen started for Boston and found that
someone was using their name. The visit
resulted in arresting the party upon whose
person was found several forged checks for
large amounts, which he had not been able
to use.
Upon arrival at the court he demanded in
a very pompous manner to know why he was
arrested. When he found that he was caught
he wanted to settle the matter, but his offer
was promptly declined and he was informed
that be would have to stand trial.
Mr. Stevens was struck with the similarity
of the tactics employed by Allen and James,
and being personal friend of Mr. Gilman
of Glenny & Gilman Immediately placed the
paper in his hands. The latter gentleman,
feeling sure that the long-sought James was
at last found, conferred with those who had
contributed to the fund for James appre-
hension, and twas decided that Mr.. Finch,
who has had charge Of the correspondence
with Pinkerton, should telegraph the chief OF
police in Boston and Pinkerton and apply
for the necessary papers from Gov. Hubbard
to secure the person of Mr.. James. Prompt
action was necessary, as the Boston tailors
did not have much of case against him and
he had been allowed to give bail. 1t is very
evident that he would have forfeited 1t and
escaped. He has confessed that he is the
man wanted in St. Paul, and as the case
in Boston is not nearly SO strong as in this
city, he will be turned over to Pinkerton by
the Boston authorities April 10.
