that investment was guaranteed for only ten
years and that time will soon expire. They whole
amount was invested in Wabash bonds, when
those securities were considered gilt-edged prop
erty. They are to-day comparatively worthless
and the interest on them is paid out of the es-
tate of the person who guaranteed them His
estate is insolvent-or nearly so-and even II it
were not there is nothing to compel the execu-
tors to pay the interest after the expiration
of ten years. The fact is that the
Grants arc absolutely and irretrievably ruined.
The General has no income whatever, and un-
Less few thousands can be saved from the
wreck he will be pauperp
There is a wonderful amount of ignorance
among members of Congress upon subjects with
which they ought to be somewhat familiar. It
is very doubtful if 20 per cent of those who
oppose the bill to put Gen. Grant on the retired
list know why they oppose it
The Journal correspondent asked Representa-
tive Robertson the other day if he favored the
bill Robertson is redh headed, whisky drink

He has no ideas above his stomach,
and is one of those unfortunate accidents who
occasionally create the impression that eonstitu
encies return members out of punishment for
their sins He is, withal, a "good fellow" as
good fellows 60 He replied to the question,
mo, / don't favor the bill; I have come to the
conclusion that my people and the people of this
country generally, think that General Grant
shouldn't get anything more out of the govern
ment."
What do you mean by anything morep was
asked.
81 mean that the General is getting enough
now. He was good soldier. and admire him,
but he has had enouA, and don't think we
ought to pay him any more annuities than he
now receives"

nothing from the government or anyone else at

What! Amt General Sherman on the re-
tired list?p answered Mr.. Robertson, turning

Sherman as General of the United States armyg
Didn't Grant retire to accept the presidencyr
''Grant certainly preceded General Sherman
at the head of the army, but what has that to
no with his present conditions"
"Why Sherman receives big salary, and so
does Grant My people are opposed to increas
ing that salary, because we think it is enough"
'But Grant resigned, and, in consequence, is
not on the retired list. That is the reason for
this bill"

WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE?
An Effort to Show that Chairman Jones
Caused the Defeat of Mr.. Blaine.

An Effort to Show that Chairman Jones
Caused the Defeat of Mr.. Blaine.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, JAN 3.-To-days National Re-
publican reverts TO the question of the responsi
bility for Blaines defeat in an editorial which
bears the marks of Secretary Chandler, writing
under even higher inspiration than that of Pres
ident Arthur's Cabinet 1t contains facts which
have caused great deal of comment in political
circles. Starting with the assumption that many
causes combined to defeat the Republican ticket,
it denies that among them can be included the
secret treachery of the administration The
article claims that, from first to last, President
Arthur and his Cabinet stood ready to render
whatever campaign service they properly could.
It more than intimates thatthe profers on their
part were refused by Chairman Jones, on the
ground that the latter believed he could carry
the election IN the face Of the apparent luke
warmness on the part of the administration, and
preferred to adopt policy which would put the
administration in an unfavorable attitude. He
preferred to take ali risks and get all the glory.
This is considered a serious charge, and it calls
for substantial proof 1t must be said that the
evidence produced to support the allegation
makes out plausible case. It is claimed that
at a certain point in the campaign Senator Haw
ley called on the President at Chairman Joness
request, to ask him to take an active part
in the canvass. At this conference an under
standing was reached, and the President agreed
to comply with Mr.. Jenes's wishes, and did pre-
pare a letter for publication in accord with Mr..
Jones's views. This letter was taken to that
gentleman by Senator Hawley, with the distinct
understanding that il was to be used at his dis
cretion; but for some reason it was suppressed.
The Republican charges that this was done to
put the administration in false light that Jones
had sent to the President for help expecting
and hoping for refusal, and that when, on the
contrary he found the President willing to fol-
low the course he advised, he himself refused to
carry it into execution. The Republican acquits
Mr. Blaine of any responsibility for the course
which, it says, Mr.. Jones chose to adopt. 1t
claims that all the facts to support its very sin
gular and serious charge are in it's possession,
and calls on Senator Hawley to confirm its as
Sertions.

A BROKEN HOLE.
Divorce Of Horace DisstOn and Wife. in Phil
adelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. A divorce was grant
ed yesterday by the Court of Common Pleas
No. /, that attracts considerable attention for
several reasons. The parties to it belong to the
famous Disston family, tire saw-dnakers The
husband, Horace Disston, is member of the
house of Henry Disston's Sens. His wife, Lett
tia Disston, is the daughter of a wealthy lumber
dealer and proprietor of the United States Ho-
tel, at Atlantic City. The libel of the wife
against her husband for adultery was filed Sept.
l6, and within thirteen weeks the knot was
united. The respondent having filed an answer,
a master was appointed. The master made his
examination and filed his report, the court ex-
amined and approved, service Of rule for divorce
was made and sworn to- and the final decree was
issued Usually one year is consumed in the
Philadelphia courts in disjoining unhappy
couples. Consequently there is surprise shown
over the agility which the courts displayed II
working separation. Another feature of the
case was the refusal of the court officers to place
the names of the parties upon the court dockets,
and until a week ago the names of the mystic
rious suitors in case No. l3 were veiled in mys-
terry. Three years ago the couple were married
with great splurge and the happy husband
bought a $65, 600 house on West Walnut street
as cage for his beautiful mate. This is now in
possession of the lady, her spouse having gone
to the house of his mother, North Broad
street.

Invested with the Pallium.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan 4-The imposing cere-
mony of investing Archbishop Ryan with the
pallium took place in the Cathedral, to-day.
Over 5000 people were in the building, and 90
000more in the street for several hours during the
ceremonies, trying to get peep at the impressive
proceedings. Many distinguished prelates were
present. The ceremonies were grandly impress
i've and lasted four hours Many prominent
Protestant residents of the city were in the
church. A solemn pontifcal mass was celebrated
by Bishop O'Hara, of Scranton. That the priests
of the city might attend the ceremonies the usual
last mass il all churches was dispensed with
The crush was something terrible It required a
squad of fifty police and ten companies of the
pioneer corps to keep the vast crowd under con-
troll Beethoyen's mass in G was sung by a
choir of the best artists in all the choirs of the
city, aided by an orchestra Archbishop
Corrigan delivered the sermon. His text
was in the second chapter, fourth book
of Kings wherein is described the ascent of
Elijah to heaven on whirlwind and the falling

family that he thought ne had been seriously
hurt bat about 2 O'clock shortly after he had
retired, his step father heard him groaning in
the adjoining ROOM and on entering and inquir-
ing of the cause Crank replied that his head hurt
him very badly. Mr.. Edwards went into an
other room to get light and when he returned
the young man speechless and almost un-
conscious, in which condition he fingered until
death relieved him from his sufferings about
three house afterward.
Frazier was arrested, and is confined in Jail TO
await the action of the grand jury, which viii
be in session next week, having been called
specially to investigate this case. It is supposed
that Frazier struck Crank over the head wita an
old rife gun he was carrying.

washington Star.
The proposed balloon ascensions in the inter
est of weather knowledge arranged for by Cen
eral Hazen, of the Signal Service, as stated in
yesterdays Star, are attracting much attention
on account of the novelty of the scheme After
getting the project well advanced Prof. Able,
who is to accompany Prof. King on the first as
tensions, will give way to other officers of the
Signal Service who are desirous of making trips
to the clouds. No dates have been named, as
arrangements have been made to give
only six or eight hours notice. The main object
of these ascensions is to take observations in tho
upper strata of the atmosphere in the midst Of
storms, as it is believed that much valuable
knowledge will be obtained in this way. Theas-
tensions will probably be made in the immediate
center of a storm. When suitable one is rag
ing Prof Able will go to Philadelphia without
delay, and the first ascension will be made.

Journalist Dangerously I'll.


Porter Cornelius Bliss, at one time connected
with the New York Herald, and one of the edit
ors of Johnson's Encyclopedia, lies very ILL., suf-
fering from aneurism, in st. Luke's Hospital
Mr. Bliss's life has been an eventful one, and a
portion Of it, spent in South America was full
of adventure. In Paraguay he was subjected
to the most horrible torture at the hands of the
government, with the object of forcing him to
confess a crime of which he was not guilty, and
his release from imprisonment was secured final
ly only by the interposition of the United States
government. Since that time Mr.. Bliss has filled
many journalistic positions of trust and has
written the biographies of some 1000 celebrated
persons, many of which have, not yet been
printed The disease from which he is suffering
is incurable, but the physicians at the hospital
think that there is no danger of immediate
death. He was very weak yesterday but quite
cheerful, and talked pleasantly with friends who
called 60 see him.

Big Fish in Lake Tahoe.

Virginia City Chronicle.
For some past the fishermen engaged on Lake
Tahoe have been reporting the existence in those
waters, of a large fish, which they describe as
being fully twenty feet long, and closely resenn-
bling species of shark. The tale at first found
little or nocredence. but frequent corroborative
statements caused it to be generally
accepted as true. Captain Pomin, formerly
pilot of the steamer Tom Goodwia, and
Mr.. Robinson, proprietor of the Lake
Shore House at Glenbrook-both men of un-
questioned veracity--have lately seen the big
fish in such proximity as precludes the possibili
ity of their being mistaken. Though they differ
both agree that it is over twenty feet long with
a massive and large dorsal fin. The schooner
Lille Van and several fshing-boats are making
preparations to effect it's capture if possible. but
as the monster is seldom seen, and is supposed
to confine itself almost entirely to the deepest
portions of the lake, their chances Of success are
but slight

A Strange Compact.

Fort Wayae Special.
Thirty days ago. ON New Years day, M. e.
Woodward and George SteEart sat at dinner IN
Pittsburg hotel. Both were unmarried, but
each expected soon to change the character of
his domestic life. Woodward was paymaster Of
the Pittsbnrg, Fort Wayne e. Chicago railroad
and Stewart was a conductor on the line. At
that dinner they made a compact that he who
married first was to entertain the other at din
manned single, and no excuse but sickness was
to be sufficient for the absence of the unmarried
one from the table of his friend.
few months later Mr.. Woodward married his
present wife, and on tho following New Years
day Mr. Stewart paid the first installment of his
obligation to be present at the New Years din
ner. He never married and yesterday he sat
down for the twenty ninth time at the table of
Mr. Woodward. Since their Pittsburg dinner the
paths of the old friends have changed widely.
Mr. Woodward became prosperous merchant.
while Mr. Stewart, quitting his train, became
engaged IN railroad construction, in the pur-
suance Of which he has spent much time on the
Pacific slope. He is now fifty years
old. His hair is turning gray. His he7ne
is at Newmarket, N. H. Two years ago he re-
sided in San Francisco, and made the "trip from
there to this city to meet his obligation The
train was delayed and his absence was threat
nned, when he took advantage of an opportunity
TO charter special train 94a reach Chicago in
time for the Fort Wayne connection. In Mr..
Wodward's cosy home is an apartment known
as Georges rooTn.a On the first day of each year
this room is aired and put in readiness for the
expected guest. He always returns to his home
or place of business the day after New
Years, leaving the Woodward residence without

King Theebaw as a Prohibitionist.


St John and his followers will be gratifed to
learn that King Theebaw, Of Burmah, has be-.
come an earnest temperance reformer Not
only has the King given up drink, but he insists
upon forcing everybody else to adopt a total
abstinence schedule His methods, perhaps
would not be sanctioned by the Women's Chris
tain Temperance Union, but they are certainly
very effective. Theebaw's mode of reforming o
drunkard is to sentence him to be hammered to
death. This vigorous punishment has been
tested upon number of old soakers, and in
every instance the victims quit drinking. In
fact, they quit everything, and the recorders
court knows them no more. The st. John peo-
pie will readily appreciate the advantages Of old
Theebaw's system. Instead of abolishing drink
it thoroughly and permanently abolishes the
drinker and that, after ALL is the main object Of
temperance reform

MINOR MENTION.
The Hawaiian Minister ON the Treaty with
Those Islands.
sertionS.

Ih0 hawaiian Minister ON the treaty with
Those Islands.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-Mr. Carter, the Ha-
waiian minister, in conversation with an Asso-
ciated Press reporter to-day concerning the pro-
posed extension of the Hawaiian treaty. said much
was written and said about the treaty based on a
misrepresentation of the facts. The commercial
advantages to Americans he knew to be greater
than was generally understood. OF course the
merchants and traders of the Pacific coast were
most benefited, and statements to the effect
that the Pacific coast people were not in favor of
a continuance of the present trade relations with
Hawaii are unfounded. The impression that the
treaty had created sugar monopoly or had con-
tributed to continuance of monopoly the
Pacific coast was entirely erroneous. A COM
bination of sugar refiners existed before the
treaty was made. 1t had fought against the
treaty when neNtiated it would not be seri-
ously affected should the treaty be abrogatad.
Its field of operations was far removed from
the refners Of the East, and in this fact alone
lay its advantages. Hawaii did not produce
sugar enough to affect American prices to con-
sumers, and therefore, injured no American
uroducer

Ice Skating.
Outing.

outing.
Will roller skating supplant its parent sport2
We trust not But there is no question that
runner skating has been on the decline among
US for some years In Holland. Denmark and
Germany it is universal There everybody
skates, old and young, high and low, rich and
poor. Probably its decline here arises from neg
lect of our ponds There is skating until the
first snow, and after that pains are taken in but
few places to clear the ice. There are also no
conveniences for putting on skates, taking care
of garments, ETC. 1t is both uncomfortable and
dangerous to skate in overcoats and coaks In
Germany and other European countries the pub
lie ponds are leased by the cities to parties who
charging small sums to skaters, keep the ice
clear and in good condition, and also provide
the other facilities mentioned. 1t would be a
good idea to adopt the same course in our cities,
while in country towns the organization of skat-
ing clubs might effect the same ends.
