TO the memory Of our greatest soldier,
writes: Like most Englishmen. knew

nation might we'll be proud, but I confess
that never thoroughly appreciated his
noble character until read the stirring
and pathetic address delivered by Maj.
Daniel. It is very remarkable Grafton,
and worthy OF the hero in whose honor it
was composed. I think that no one can
peruse Maj. Daniels speech without a
feeling of the deepest admiration and
respect for the late Gen. Lee. 1t will
always be a regret to me that never had
the opportunity Of becoming acquainted
with man who proved himself to be a
soldier, statesman, patriot and gem

POOR MCCULLOUGH.
Net Capable of Taking Care Of Himself,
and Liable
AT ANY Moment 10 Do IDjury TO Some
ReIIOWman.

New YoRK, June 23.-The Mail an
Express says: John Mccullough, the
tragedian, wandered about the Sturtevant
House in an aimless way this morning.
1t was evident to the most casual OBJ
server that he did not know what he was
doing. The clerk (Hitchcock) kept
his eye on him. The clerk had had
trouble with him Sunday afternoon.
HE has threatened to kill me" said
Mr.. Hitchcock, "If he comes near me
again I'll hit him. | don't care if he is
irresponsible. If he is, his friends ought
to take care of him. Everybody in the
house is tired of him, but the Lelands
are reluctant to make any move in the
matter" Mr.. Horace Leland said: 1--WE
certainly will do something very soon.
He is not capable of taking care
of himself. and is liable at any minute to
do injury to somebody. We have tc
watch him to keep him from setting fire
to the house. He doesn't even know
enough to eat his meals. We have tel.
egraphed to his wife and sister, and ex-
pect them here this evening. If they dc
not take charge of him we will ap-
peal to Capt. Williams. John is
a friend of ours, but We cant
stand everything" Capt. Conner, Of
the st. James Hotel, who has been Mr.
Mccullough S friend and business part
ner for years, says that he will not take
the first step, and this seems to be the
trouble with everybody. Capt. Common
says he ought to be put in an asylum
but the only one who can do that is his
wife.

THE PENN BANK CONSPIRACY.
A Sealed Verdict I'm the Case That VIII
be Opened To-Day

PITTsBURG, June 23.-The jury in
the Penn Bank conspiracy case retired at
o'clock this afternoon, and when court
adjourned an hour later an agreement
had not yet been reached. They will
probably remain out all night. At any
rate, the verdict will not be made public
until the opening of court tomorrow
morning. Judge Stones charge was de-
cidedly favorable to the defendants. He
held that if three directors knew Of the
transactions there could be no conspiracy
on the part of Riddle and Richer; that
the treasurer was the legal custodian of
the funds; that the notice to three of
the directors was legal NOTICE to all the
board, and that the bank had legitimate
right under its charter to deal in oil. 1t
is the general impression that the jury
will either acquit the defendants or disa-
gree.
Shortly after 8 o'clock tonight the
jury agreed upon a verdict, which they
sealed and filed With one of tho tlpstaves.
1t will be opened in court to- morrow
morning.

A WASHINGTON correspondent Of much
experience il political matters telegraphs
the prediction that there will be more op-
position to President Clevelaud's appoint
ments from the Democratic than from the
Republican side of the Senate. He says
he has talked with a number Of Repub-
Ican Senators about next winters work.
Not one Of them believes in making any
serious opposition to the Presidents sp-
poiutments. The Republican Senators all
believe in the fortune Of war, and are
more disposed to support Mr.. Cleveland
by confirming MS nominations than many
OF the Democratic Senator'S, some Of whom
have openly declared war upon him.

Mr. Adams remarks were lengthy and
exhaustive. He referred the committee
for his views on Congressional regulation
TO a pamphlet of his opinion when, three
years ego, he was arbitrator of the joint
committee of Col. Fink's association and
indoysed the commission system Of
Massachusetts. If pooling was pro-
hibited, and competition left to run
intense rivalry, in three years nearly
all the old corporations would be in the
hands of receivers and consolidation of
the institution sWamped would be formed,
which would give the nation one big cor
norstion. This would be to independent
lines What the Western Union is to
smaller telegraph lines. To prevent this
