outbreak, in 1854, Mr.. Semper enlisted in
Capt. Fisk's cavalry brigade and was at once
dispatched TO the front, where the Indians
were ambushed on all sides, awaiting an op-
portunity to do murderous deeds. An Incl
dent which happened AZ this time served TO
still further show the mettle Of the man.
Capt. Fisk offered SIS for the first Indians
scalp brought to him. and after much dan
gerous diminishing. Joe Semper succeeded
in winning the reward. Being pressed too
close to allow OF scalping the fallen brave.

SENATOR EMERY MAD.
He Says Senator Cooper Used the
Blaine Campaign Funds to Insure
CamerOn's Election.
Especial Telegram TO the Globe.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 1S.-The heat
engendered by Senator Don Cam
erons contest for reelection in
the Pennsylvania legislature this
week, reopened the wounds of the stall
warts and half breeds In this state. Senator
Emery, the millionaire oil producer and
Blaine advocate, In the excitement OF the de-
bate on the senatorship, charged that Sena-
tor Cooper, chairman of the Republican
state committee, had diverted money con-
tributed for the cause of Blaine during the
campaign to elect Cameron representatives
In rural districts.
Mr.. Cooper jumped to his feet in an in
slant with a denial.
''Now sir, refuse TO be interrupted"
Emery yelled, advancing a step toward
Cooper. 'ThIs charge is true, and you
know it, You got money from me, aud you
used my own pocket book and the pocket
books Of other men To elect men with, and
all the time you were saying Cameron was
not candidate. There were men on the
financial committee of Pennsylvania who
never would have contributed a cent TO the
campaign If you had not given your assur-
ance that Cameron was not to be a candi-
date They supposed that their money was
TO be given to the national committee to
help Blaine in other states. You kept saying
that Chairman Jones, of the national com
mittee, was poor and wanted money. You
wrote that TO me and said
II 10 me in Philadelphia. On these
representations gave you authority 10 draw
on me for $500. You did so, and afterwards,
without any authority, drew on me again,
and l honored your draft"
To these heated remarks Senator Cooper,
pale and excited, made only general de-
NAL, and on leaving the caucus that night
after Cameron had captured the senatorial
prize. Senator Emery sent tie following
dispatch:
HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 15.-To the Hon.
B. F. Jones, Pittsburg; How much money
did you receive from Cooper, chairman OF
the state committee, for the BlOine cam
paigni Signed L. EMERY, JR.

IT has been reserved for Gov Porter Of In
diana to offer a new reason for his abolishing
the one man pardOning power, and delega-
ting that function to board Of pardons.
The governor went out Of Office January
first, and his last act was to pardon a noto-
rious murderer serving u life sentence, and
for the following reasons, given by the gov
ernor himself:
The other night as lay doing ftfully,
! but unable to sleep, that mans figure APP
peared at the foot of my bed, aud l could
see the place as plainly as | see yours now.
| shut my eyes and tried to think OF some
thing else, but when / opened them again
there stood Crawford. the most beseeching
and reproachful look imaginable on his face.
And there it remained until ! made up my
mind would issue that pardon. Then the
apparition. if apparition it was, vanished.
Nothing ever made such an impression on
ms mind as that vision. / am firmly con-
WINGED that that man has suffered enough,
and therefore, | set him free.
Il is just as well that tn" visionary Porter
is ont of Office. It will occur to the reader
that it is not probable all the members of a
pardon board would be afflicted with the
Porter visions, while there are a good many
governors who are fully as unable TO explain
their pardons as be. In this city no excuse
would have been better than so poor one.

TERMINAL FACILITIES.
The Matter of the Wisconsin Central'S
Application Left to Messrs.
Mitchell and Miller.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

MILWAUKEE, Jan. '1S.-Assistant General
Manager Miller, of the Chicago, Milwaukee
IL st. Paul railroad, returned last night from
New York, where he has been in attendance
at meeting of the directors of that road .
Among the other things which the meeting
was called to consider was the application of
the Wisconsin Central for new contract for
terminal facilities for their new st. Paul line
from Schliesingerville to Chicago. Mr.. Miller
said to the GLOBE correspondent that the only
action taken by the board of directors in
regard to the application was to refer the whole
matter to committee consisting of Presi-
dent Mitchell and himself who were given
full power to act. Mr.. Mitchell is still in
New York, and is not expected home until
the middle of the present week. Nothing
will be done until his return, and then the
subject of the application will be taken I'D
and considered from purely business stand
point, and decision rendered In
accordance Herewith, the statement
therefore, remains practically I'M
changed from what it was two weeks ago.
The new line will be ready for business by
the beginning of next week. 1t is doubtful
if decision will be reached by the
committee in that time, which would
call for some temporary arrangement pend
ing the final answer. Should such temporary
provision be refused the Central would be
obliged to wait until the st. Paul committee
had finished its labors, or accept the alter
native of shipping its freight from Schliesen-
gerville, as would be done by any private
firm. 1t has been supposed of late that the
question of terminal facilities as far as Mil
waukee had been settled. Such it seems is
not the case. While the Wisconsin Central
people claim that the old contract covers this
point. the st. Paul folks by no means con-
cede it. This question is included
in the other, on which the
committee will act What the
decision will be is hard to anticipate. 1t
can, however, be safely mmed up in one
brief sentence. If the Milwaukee & st.
Paul people are convinced that the road will
be the gamer by signing new contract and
furnishing terminal facilities from Schlies-
engeryille to Chicago, the application would
be granted, otherwise not. They are no
more anxious than at the beginning of the
controversy to furnish a knise, metaphori-
cally speaking, for the use of a rival cooper
alton. President Colby, of the Wisconsin
Central, is at present at the south, and Gen
eral Manager Finney is at st. Paul. II Is
understood, how yer, that both feel conf
dent of favorable answer 10 the Centrals

SPAIN,

MADRID, Jan. 17.-Another severe shock Of
earthquake was experienced at Granada at
10 last night, causing great alarm among
the inhabitants King Alfonzo is visiting
velez, Malaga, to-day. The heavy snow
storm and frost continues. In Malaga, the
most severe snow storm since 1861 prevails.
The sugar cane crop is destroyed and orange
aud olive groves damaged. The situation is
most critical. The earth is again trembling
under the influence of stronger seismic
movements. The wind and snow have
destroyed the huts Of those who fed to the
open fields from the cities and towns for
safety. At Frigiliana, twenty-seven miles
east Of Malaga, the people, rendered desper-
ate by cold and hunger, attacked the houses
of land owners. Another severe shock Of
earthquake was experienced at Corlllas.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Dairy Day at the ExpositIOn-Free
Lunch Served to Sixteen ThOus-
and Persons.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1S-T attraction at
the exposition yesterday was the opening OF
the dairy department. 1t had been announced
that free lunch would be served in the
dairy exchange from the products on exhibit
ton, and over 16, 900 people were furnished
with choice cheese, butter and crackers dur
ing the day. Pilsbury 81 Co., Of Minneapo-
lis, baked up twelve barrels OF their finest
-four for the occasion, and had neither
bread nor crackers on hand when the
day closed. Early at night the toys
remaining on the Christmas tree were given
to large crowd OF happy children. Alto
gether 1t was one Of the best days the expo
sition has yet had. The city IS steadily
filing up with visitors, and the effect is seen
in the constant increase at the exposition
gates. The Sunday league Of Louisiana
printed an address this morning, setting
forth the efforts they have made U secure the
closing Of the exposition on Sunday. They
show that they applied TO the management,
to the exhibitors and 70 Secretary Frelinghuy-
sen and President Arthur. In response Sec
Rotary Frelinghuysen replies, under date Of
Oct. 20, that he had consulted with the
president relative TO the matter. and had
communicated TO the exposition man
agement the result. The secretary said
the necessary order would be
issued requiring the government exhibits TO
be closed on Sundays, and the president
had expressed the hope that the prophety
would be seen by the management Of closing
all other branches Of the exposition on that
day, in order that an observance established
IN the United States by custom and religious
principles may not be violated. The Sunday
league publishes this correspondence in order
that the public should know that they have
not been wg1tine In their efforts TO have the
exposition closed on Sunday, and that they
only regret that those efforts have not met
with the success at the hands of the authori-
ties Of the exposition which they had looked
for. notwithstanding the opposition Of the
league. Sunday seems TO be the most popular
day at the exposition. Last Sunday 10000
people visited the grounds, and Smother
large crowd was present to-day.
