INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
William H. Lincoln Discusses the Railway
Problem Before the Senate Committee.

BOSTON, May 26.-The special committee Of
she United States Senate investigating the sub
iect Of interstate commerce continued their
hearing to-day at the railroad commissioners
office VIM. Fl. Lincoln, by invitation, addressed
the committee. He did not think shippers
could complain of the present rates, which are
Yidiculously low. They are too low for the in
terests of stockholders. The railroad business,
he said, is the worst and most absrrdly managed
of any in the country. One would expect the
roads to lower their rates when the water route
competition is felt, but he had known roads to
raise their rates frequently at such seasons, and
to lower rates when the business is more than
can be handled He thought minimum
rate should be fixed by law. The fuctuaton of
rates unsettled business generally. Stability of
rates is more important than the rate itself
Mr. Lincoln believed that favoritism was shown
by the railroads by giving ten days notice of
changes in rates to shippers. He thought gen
eral law requiring at least ten days notice Of
ehangeSf rates would be equitable. He believed
in a natiApal board of railroad commissioners
Mr.. Lincoln protested against the double tariff
system of the railroads. He believed in basing
the tariff upon the mileage. The pool systems
of the countryhe regarded as a farce In any
legislation upon the subject of rates he believed
q load should be unit. and that no reduc-
tion should be made in rates for large quanti-
ties.
f. c. Kimble, commission man, complained
that New England shippers had TO pay an extra
of 80 l-3 per cent on shipments to Chicago for
an additional distance of only about sixty miles

Wedding Ring on His Brides Finger.

PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-When the drop

sueum stage went down at the close of the fore
noon performance, Monday, the orchestra struck
up Mendelssohn's wedding march. and down the
center aisle curious marriage procession fled

museum, and following him walked John Huber,
the armless man, and Miss Sadie Bonstein, of
ll24 Oxford street. his bride, handsome blonde
of twenty-one years. The armless bridegroom
wore brown velveteen knee breeches, with pat
ent leather pumps and black stockings, and a
sack coat of dark material with huge bouquet
pinned to the lapel of his coat The bride
clung tightly to the empty sleeve that hung
nearest her, and tried to look composed as the
people in the audience turned to stare at the
procession. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Brown were
the witnesses, and with the Rev. George r.
Harding, of the Methodist Church at Patchogue
l.. l., they formed half circle on the museum
stage
To the questions of the minister both the
bride and her armess groom answered audibly.
When the ring was about to be produced, the
audience waited to see the groom place it on
the brides finger with the foot he uses in place
of an arm.

LONDON, May 26.-The Press Association pub

from reliable source: early in January AL
fred Aylward, notorious in connection with the
Boer rebellion, arrived in London from New
York. He was extremely retcent in regard to
the objects of his visit, but on one oc-
casion he told friends at a social gather
ing at his lodgings in Piccadilly that
before long he would prove sharp thorn in the
side of the British government He went to
Paris and remained there fortnight, staying at
the American Hotel in the Rue Du Amour. and
describing himself as dentist. Our informant
says that Ayiwards visit was connected with
Riels rebellion, and the furthering of
the movement among the French
population of Canada for a separate
government from England; that France en-
couraged the idea directly by organized immi-
or the loyal Canadians realize. The Riel affair
was simply an experiment, designed to accustom
the French Canadians to feel and think as a dis
tinct race About the middle of March, Ayl-
ward sailed for New York via Havre giving his
address to London friend as Jackson street ST.

They traversed Dakota at the head of thirty six

INDIANA AND THE PLUMS.
Arrival of Hon. j. j. Kleiner-Stoll and the
Public Printing Office.

o. o. S., in Louisville Courier-Journal.
Hon. John j. Kleiner member Of Congress
from the Evansville district, has at last arrived
great satisfaction by the boys in the river coun-
ties in his district who are anxious to get pos
session of the postofices and the other little
places that efficient congressman can secure
They have been quite impatient at Mr. Klein
er's protracted absence from home and at Wash
ington, and several of them have written to your
correspondent inquiring as to the whereabouts
of the Evansville NJ. G. 1t seems that Mr..
Klsiner since his election to Congress, has in
vested largely in some Dakota land which is
paying him handsome profit on his invest
ment, and that he has been so much engrossed
with his business that for the time being he for
got all about his congressional duties. He is
here now, however, and will likely pitch in lively
for his constituents and make up for lost time
Ex Congressman Roberts, Of New York is an
active applicant for Public Printer, as we'll as
John b. Soil, OF Indiana The latter is here
looking after his interests. He has half
hearted backing from the Indiana delegation
The President some six weeks since indicated his
disposition to give the place of Public Printer to
Indiana if that State would present a strong and
thoroughly good and competent man for the
position. 1t is the most important place to fill
of any here. excepting a Cabinet position, and
the Public Printer has a vast amount of patron
age at his disposal 1t would be good luck for
Indiana to secure rich prize, but they should
present a man better qualified for it than Mr.
Stoll. There dozen leading Democrats in
Indiana, good and true men and practical prin-
ters who are better qualified and more deserv-
ing than the present applicant from that State.

caricaturing paper called the Maruay, Of
which certain Thado Alves de Amorlm was ed
itor. Finally, on the 18th, these attacks culmi-
mated in an attack on Mr.. Mackays mother, and
in scandalous assertions as to his own intimacy
with two respectable ladies. Mr.. Mackay was
seated in the theater on the evening of the 10th,
when De Amorim passed, scraped his feet on the
floor to draw attention, looked at
the consul in an insulting manner,
and spoke loudly Mackay jumped out,
and after some exchange of words Amorim
raised a sword stick and struck at Mackay but
the stick caught in a chandelier and broke.
Mackay then drew small revolver and fired
four shots, three of which struck but as Amo-
rim ducked, produced only superficial wounds.
Amorim then drew pistol and fired. but the
pistol was seized by bystander, whose hand
was severely mangled by the charge. Amorim
was taken out to have his wounds dressed, and
Mackay, accompanied by the German consul,
proceeded to the residence of a police magistrate
and surrendered himself, whereupon he was lodged
in apartments of the staff major. in the police
barracks, where next day over four hundred of
of the chief inhabitants of the city went to com
pliment him and to offer their services.

How the General Purchased Pony.

How the General Purchased Pony.
Interview with s. B. Elkins
''They are all looking forward to the removal
of General Grant to Saratoga, which will take
place in about three weeks. The General be-
lieves he can stand the trip all right, but his
mind is now thoroughly engrossed with his book.
The entire work is well nigh completed, and 1
was shown some hundred pages or more, which
read with the greatest interest. 1t is printed
in double-leaded pages and is of course, easily
scanned. think it is going to be one OF the
most remarkable works of its time. AS / told
the General yesterday, it is book that any
child, as we'll as any mature man, can read with
pleasure and satisfaction. General Grants
literary style is clear, forcible, picturesque
and plain. There are no adjectives. Every
body comprehends at once what he intends
to convey. He tells a great deal in very
short space. His method seems to present a few
very marked features of picture, and leave the
reader to supply the rest 1t is like Watts can
vass. There are great patches of cooring, and
at glance you see the idea, while the details at
once suggest themselves without being present.
For instance, General Grant tells one little in
cident in his own boyhood days on the farm
near st. Louis. He and his father had gone into
town, and some one had offered to sell his father
pony. The price asked was $50. The elder
Grant only wanted to pay 500. The boy had set
his heart on the pony, however, and stood by
his fathers side, tugging his coat and silently
coaxing him to make the purchase The man
wouldn't change his figure. and Mr.. Grant
turned away, his son following in deep distress.
Finally young Grant besought his father
to make the purchase anyhow. Well
said the father, run back and offer $40, and if
he will not take that, offer him $22 80, and If
he won't take that offer him $25' / did So. says
the General. Il told the man my father said to
offer him 500, and if ne wouldn't take that to
offer him 500. so, and if he wouldn't take that to
offer him $25.'
Then he adds: 1T would not take Connec
ticut man to guess what the man got
Now, that story" added Mr.. Eikins. ''is SO
vividly told that l exclaimed: General, your
in your bare feet, sure, and yet it does not
occupy more than two or three inches of space"
Did General Grant keep journal during the
warl"
''No. asked him that question last night.
My orders, he replied. are my journal l have
depended on nothing else.'
Mr.. Elkins said the first volume of the me-
moirs would be published in November, and the
second in March.

IRON-WORKERS WAGES.
Both Sides Stand Firm, and Long and
Stubborn Struggle Is Possible.

PITTsBURa May 26.-Nothing of Importance
was developed in the iron situation to-day. Both
sides maintain firm front, and outwardly ap-
pear confident of winning the fight. The man
ufacturers claim that they will stand by their
offer, and accept nothing else. Secretary Weeks,
of the Iron Association, said to night that their
side had made as many concessions as the
Amalgamated Association. They were
willing to sign the scale if the
workinen would take 10 per cent reduction
all round, but they would not be a party
to an unjust discrimination in favor of the sheet
mill rollers, which are among the highest paid
workmen in the mills. Some of the workmen
favor a withdrawal of all concessions made, and
are advising strike for the present wages, but
it is thought conservatism will prevail, and the
new scale be adhered to. In the event of strike,
it is claimed that twelve mills in this district
will continue in operation. Nine of them will
work with non union men, aud the other three
it is asserted by the workmen, will sign the
scale.

pension of $72 per month, called at the Pension
Office, to-day and requested that his name be

request was that the government had already
done enough for him. Commissioner Black says

SHELBYvILLE, May 26.-One of the most shock
ing tragedies in the history of this section Of the
State was committed last night, one mile east OF
the village of Manila, on the edge of the line
between Shelby and Rush counties. The facts
are as follows: A few years ago Will
lam Riley was united in mar
riage to Malinda Headey, and to
them was born one child. which was named Ber-
tie who grew to be bright and handsome girl.
Some time after their marriage they moved to
indianapolis, where Riley engaged in business,
TIE last venture being the starting of notion
store in the city market square, where
he continued business until a few weeks ago,
when, on account of family troubles,
his wife abandoned him and went to
reside with her relatives in the city, The cause
Of the separation was jealousy and cruel treat
ment on the part of her husband. After the
separation Riley took the little girl, who was
about eight years old, and came down to Manila,
where he resided in the family of his brother-in-
law, William Holbrook. About two weeks
ago Mrs. Riley came to Manila and stopped at
the residence of her brother, Marshal Headley.
Riley on several occasions made threats against
bis wife, and also against Mr. Headley and wife,
and had said that if Mrs Riley did not come
back and live with him there would be two less
persons in the world. The threats of
Riley became so severe that Mrs.
Riley instituted surety of the peace
preceding against Riley and the trial was set
for esterday at Manila. In the meantime
Mrs. Riley returned to Indianapolis, and not
returning in time the trial was postponed until
to-day.
Last night Riley and his little child retired
for the night, and not getting up at
The usual hour William Holbrook went
to the room, where sickening sight met his
gaze. Riley and his little daughter both lay on
the bed, with their throats cut from to ear,
while pools of blood added to the sad scene
The little child had been sacrificed for the mis-
deeds of the husband and wife, The head of the
child was almost severed from the body.
The general cause assigned is that Riley was
insane at the time, or he would not have COM
mitted the horrible deed. Mrs. Riley came to
this city this morning from Indianapolis and
for the first time learned of the terrible crime.
She went at once to Manila to see the dead
body os her child

Verdict as TO the Cuyler Colliery Disaster

in the case of Henry NJ. Erwin, the last recov-
cred of the victims of the Cuyler colliery dis
aster, returned a verdict as follows: ''That
death ensued from the fall of the dividing stone
and top coal, while the men were in the act of
attempting to stop the squeeze by timbering No
gangway, under the instructions of tho boss
miner" The fall was caused by excessive rob-
bing of the pillars. The removal of the pillars
was in accordance with the terms of the lease
from the land owner, and with the knowledge
and consent Of their agent. and the mine in
spector was 'derelict in his duty in permitting
this undue robbing to be done without protesting
against the same. Suits involving 5000 600 dam
ages are pending against the operators of the
Cuyler colliery.
