From present indications there will be a
large number of transfers of property dur
ing the coming spring. There has been a
much better market during the past month
than there was in January, 1883 or 1884.
Many investors have cash on hand which
they decline to put into railroad securities
or stock speculations, because of their un-
certain future. All they want to induce
them to take hold OF real estate Is clear
demonstration of tho fact that it has fair
prospect Of enhancing in value, and pays a
good rate Of interest on the price asked

An exchange Of personalities in the
Senate Is something unusual. Senator'S
Beck and Morgan yesterday INDUCED in an
exchange Of few unpleasant words.
This little tilt was a very mild one and
would have attracted but slight notice in
the House. In speaking of the Texas
Pacific Land Forfeiture bill Mr.. Beck re-
ferred to the influence of the railroads in
the Senate. Mr.. Morgan, who had been
speaking in favor of the Texas Pacific road,
thought Senator Beck meant to impugn his
motives Senator Morgan said that Mr..
Beck, no matter what he said, would not
deter him from doing his duty.
he also said that no attempt of Mr.. Beck
to impugn the motives of Demo cratic Sena-
tors would succeed. He had been In tho Dem.
ocratic party long before Mr.. Beck had en-
loycd the privileges of citizenship In this
country. Mr.. Beck said that 1t was true
that he did not happen to DO born in this
country, but that he was not consulted
about his birth. II regard" he said, "the
suggestion as TO my nativity as unworthy
the Senator, unworthy the Senate and un-
worthy of reply" And then both of tho
Senators said that they did not mean any

A SENTIMENTAL episode. in which Mrs.
Dudley figured since she came to New York,
has been brought to light by prying reporters.
a young American, it seems, became very
favorably impressed with her attractive APP
pearance and manners, and a casual ac-
quaintance rapidly advanced into genuine
courtship. The fascination seemed to be
mutual and affairs progressed swimmingly,
Mrs. Dudley meanwhile taking good care that
her sutton should not learn that she was sub
ject to hysterical and epileptic fits. One Sun
day in September the young man proposed a
trip up the Hudson, and after some demur
on the lady's part the two boarded steamer
for the days outing. Whether the glorious
scenery proved too exciting, or whether her
happiness was too overpowering, is not known;
but before their return home in the afternoon
Mrs. Dudley had seventeen distinct and sew
eral fits. Fits and love are somewhat incom-
patible, ana the seventeen cured the Ameri-
cans affection for the pretty Englishwoman
beyond hope of resurrection. Possibly it was
love turned to madness that led to the shoot
ing of Rosa instead Of the reereant lover. At
any rate the ball proved to be a misft.

Captain Phelan Appears in Court and Re-
quests Permission to Carry Weapons.

NEW YORK, Feb. GA large number Of

Richard Short, who committed the assault on
Capt. Phelan, in ODonovan Rossas office

moment or two later entered the courtroom
and took a position before Judge Patterson.
Phelan was pale and thin, his left arm hung in q
sling.
"Yes, feel pretty weak" he said to q re-
porter, "but am mighty glad to get out doors
once more"
In the affidavit which the clerk Of the court
made out, Phelan states: Richard Short did
wilfully stab and wound the deponent with
dirk-knife which he held in his hand that
deponent was so attacked by said defendant
at and within the Office Of Jeremiah
O'Donovan Rosa; that he then and there re-
ceived eleven stab wounds i'll the body at the
hands of said defendant"
While Phelan was making his statement Short
was led into the room and placed at the bar. He
looked much better than when he was committed
to prison, four week ago.
do you the man in court who assaulted
you" inquired Justice Patterson of Phelan,
when the latter had completed his statement
THAT is the man." he replied, pointing at
Short who stood directly behind him.
II shall hold you for examination, Short, un.
der $4,000 bail, s" said the judge to the prisoner.
"Judge should like to ask for the protection
Of the police while / remain in the city," said
Phelan, with show of hesitancy II do not feel
safe from the attacks of that man." pointing to

The sergeant of the police court squad Is de-
termined to see that Captain Phelan goes to his
home In safety, 80 he sent two police officers a.
a body guard to the captain and his wife, Shorts
examination will take place tomorrow.
An official at the Tombs says Scotland Yard
detectives have been in the prison. ard the
features of dynamiter Short, who stabbed

flying him as being one of the princi-.
pals in the outrages in Ireland. 1t is
even said that Short was engaged
in the Phoenix Park murders. 1t is said tho
British government has evidence proving his
connection with crimes in Ireland before he fed
to this country, and that an attempt will be
made to secure evidence, for the purpose of hav-
ing him extradited.
