Special 20 the Globe
CHICAGO, Feb. I7.-C. d. Taylor, an
alleged funny man from Mankato. arrived
in Chicago to-day. He was accompanied
by his sister and lady friend, two estima
bic young ladies, whose only misfortune
seems to be that they are connected with the
humorously-inclined Taylor. The gentleman
walked TO the register and signed himself
&C. ID. Taylor. Mormon elder, and two
wives" He demanded a single room.
Clerk Townsend was somewhat amazed az
the daring demand, and after consulting
Mr.. Palmer, decided that a plurality Of
wives could not be tolerated in the hotel.
Two rooms were therefore assigned 10 the
presumed Mormon during his absence
with his alleged wives shopping and his
baggage carried up. When he returned
and wanted his room he was Informed that
he must spread his family over two apart
ments. discreetly far apart. The gentle
man than explained, in humOr, that he only
wanted the rooms for resting purposes
during the day. The ladies were
his sister and his friend and he only did il
for a lark. ''Allee Samee." the joker had
10 pay for two rooms instead Of one, and
departed for MankatO in the evening with a
giimmering consciousness that he had not
conferred a great deal Of honor on the
ladies who accompanied him, and that lie
wasn't half as smart as he thought he was.

POETICAL SPIRITS.
Mrs. Hendricks Annoyed by Conn
municanIs With the Other world.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. IA gen.
tleman who called upon Mrs. Hendricks
yesterday says she has regained her wonted
cheeTfulneSS. but whenever the name of her
late husband was mentioned her voice fal-
tered and grief became apparent. She has
been away but little since her husbands
death, and then only for short time. She
felt better at home, surrounded by the OBJ
jects and friends with whom she and Mr.
Hendricks were intimately associated. In
the course of the conversation an allusion
was made TO SpiritualisIn, and Mrs. Hen
bricks remarked that she had been consid-
erably annoyed by letters and alleged COM
munications from Mr.. Hendricks. sent by
this class of persons. A medium in Wash
ingtOn had sent her several pieces of poetry,
which she said had been inspired by spirits
in the spirit land, and that she had arisen
at 80 in the morning to take them down.
Mrs. Hendricks returned no answer, and a
few weeks later another batch of spirit po-
etry was received with a letter manifesting
displeasure that her first communication
had not been answered. Mrs. Hendricks
wrote 10 her that she had no confidence in
her ability 10 communicate with spirits.
Another letter was received from a person
in New York who prOfeSsed an ability for
spirit communication. This person inclosed
letter from Mr.. Hendricks, claiming that
it was genuine and written in his own pc
culiar style. There was an undOubted re-
Semblance but Mrs. Hendricks character
lied it as only clever piece of imitation,
remarking that she could easily detect the
difference. The writing might deceive some
people, but her familiarity with his chi
Biography enabled her 10 see at once that il
was not his. Concluding her conversation
on this matter, she said:
OF course 1 do not believe in such things,
and do not see that any good can come from
encouraging them.

Midgely of the Southwestern Railway assO-
citation has sent long reply to the ST.
Louis and Kansas City committee of mer-
chants. who last month demanded that
rates between the Mississippi river and the
Missouri river should be computed on a
mileage basis and be reduced to 60 per cent.
OF the rates between Chicago and the Mis-
souri, river. The commissioner declines to
accede. His reply argues at great length
that mileage basis is impracticable and
that the rates in no case exceed those en-
forced between interior points in Missouri
and Iowa and points on and east of the
Mississippi.
Representatives of fifteen railroads inter
ested in the passenger traffic of Iowa met
here to-day to form an association for the
maintenance OF rates. A committee on
organization was appointed TO report to-
morrow.

A Cessation of Business.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-THE brake
mems strike on the Morgan railroad has
caused complete cessation of work in
every part of the Morgan possessions in
Algiers. No freight trains 90 out and the
labOrers will neither discharge nor load
steamships at the wharf. The general
manager of MOrgan's Louisiana & Texas
Railroad and Steamship company said there
was nothing to do but wait for events to
shape themselves. He had telegraphed TO
New York to stop all shipments OF freight
by the steamships of this line. The South
ern Pacific Railroad company has issued
notice to shippers that no freight would be
received at Morgan's depot for shipment
owing to interference of strikers. The
notice states that this measure will be in
force until the strike is over. as trains can
not be moved without being arbitrarily
stopped at Gretna and other points.

A Row in a Church.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 17.-Father r. c. Belts,
a rector of one of the Episcopal churches in
this city. when he delivered the funeral
sermon over the body of Father Jardine,
who committed suicide some time ago. took
occasion during the delivery Of the sermon
to denounce Bishop Robinson as the real
cause of Jardine's death by refusing the
latter a rehearing. This led TO contrO-
yersy between the bishop and Father Belts
which has waxed warmer the longer it has
been prolonged, and it now transpires that
Father Belts recently applied to ithe bishop
for the confirmation of number of the
members of his (BettsO church. The
bishop replied that he would confirm no
members of that church until its rector
should apologize for the Language used dur
ing the controversy. Father Belts refuses
TO withdraw from his former position, and

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-The Republican
caucus this morning was not very well at
tended. but it seems to have been harmo-
NOUS. The indications are that there will
be substantial unanImity in support of Sen
ltor Edmunds' report on the note of the
attorney general refusing to send papers to
the senate and the Republican senators will
see to it that Democrats nominated to sue
coed Republicans who have been removed
for cause not explained to the senate are
not confirmed. This is the point
Senator EdmundS is aiming at,
and while several of the Republican
senators are reluctant to engage in fight
with the administration Senator Edmunds
will probably get all of them to maintain
this position by refusing TO confirm ap-
pointees whose predecessors were removed,

refuses to give to the senate. The Repub-

reply to the attorney general had been APP
proved, but to give it greater force it would
be submitted to the judiciary committee,

be reverted to the senate in open session.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 17.-There seems
to be no immediate prospects of an AMIGA
bic settlement of the coke strike at present.
The demands made are widely at variance.
The English miners want an advance in
wages, but have few other demands which
they press. The HungaranS and Germans,
however, have a list as long as the Persian
Code. They demand that nobody shall be
prosecuted for the TiOting and illegal acts
committed during the strike. They say
that the men at present under arrest and
all those against whom indictments have
been found or are to be made shall go Scot
free. They also ask for an advance of
wages. the total abolition Of company
stores. the appointment of check measur-
ers, who shall keep tally on the present
time keepers, the making of all wagons of
the uniform size and that each miner shall
have the right to be hOisted out of the
mines at any time as many times a day as
he NAV desire. The syndicate is willing 10
grant an advance after March Is, provided
the men will return to work at once at the
old rates, but positively refuse to make any
other concession. Another meeting will be
held on Thursday, when definite action will
be taken. Nearly 1000 strikers gathered
at the BeesOn works to-day to persuade the
employees TO quit work. Many of the strik-
ers were armed and trouble is feared if the
men refuse to Join the strike.
