SOLICITOR GENERAL GooDE.

SOL1CkTOR GEN ERAE GOODE.
 The Washington Post Creates A Sem
 sation.
 WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Post to-day created sensation in congressional circles by publishing a leader under the caption Of "A shameful conspiracy Why Solicitor General Goode was rejected! It was the re- suit of corrupt bargain between the Re publican Senators and Senator Mahoneln Fol lowing up the article the paper emphasizes it's assertions in an editorial in the following language MT. Riddleberger of Virginia may have been out of order according to the rule } of the Senate in declaring as he did on Sat. urday morning in that august chamber that the rejection of Solicitor General Goode was effected by the influence of the Bell Telephone company. But he was not at all in conflict with the facts in the case. Mir. Goode was deprived of confrma- tion by the joint efforts of Senator William Malone and the attorneys of the Bell Tele- phone company, against which last named company Mir. Goode in his ofioial capacity has ordered a suit to be instituted to inquire into the validity of its patents. * There has been no more disgraceful episode in the history of the Senate than this, and it is precisely true as has been declared by Senator Riddleberger that the authors of Mr. Goode's defeat would no more dare to have the methods of their warfare made public than dare to be caught exploding bomb in the Senate chamber

 BOSTON, July 12.-After remaining nearly one hour in the prisoners pen at the crimi- nal court on charge of bastardy preferred by Alice Neptune, alias Watson, the some what famous Parson Downs was released on $500 bonds furnished by Frank w. Ames and Charles Roberts. Soon afterwards MT. Downs was found at his lawyers office on School street after his return from court where he had passed through such disagree able ordeal. He appeared more nervous and worried than he has at any time during his long series of tribulations and was disin- clined to talk much about the affair. All that he could be induced to say was: "Iou will find before long that there are two sides to this story. You have heard their side, now wait until you hear mine before you pass judgment. Nothing that they have yet done has caused me so much pain as this There are certain features in this that almost crush me when I think of them. I do not care for the arraigrment in court, and, as to the consequences, I never give a thought If I was convict ed and sentenced tomorrow it would not make me feel worse than l do
 
 now. In the other case it was different. 1 expected nothing before from them; but in this case I can well appreciate the feelings Washington must have had when he learned that Arnold was traitor. It makes me feel terribly and I am almost unnamed. When Caesar found that Brutus was his assailant he was so pained and shocked that he was pow erless to defend himself I cannot fight against a woman as I could 8 man and you can appreciate the position I am placed in. But let them bring on their charges. can probably live through them all. Suppose they do succeed in crushing me. They have attained a great victory, haven't theya They have crushed one poor man fighting alone with no money at his command and butchered by his counsel. It is painful to think of people whom I have lavished fa- vors upon and accepted by them as such with tears in their eyes now turning on me In this way. But let them do their worst shall not finch and you will always find me here to answer any charges they may bring"

THE SALOON MUST GO.

Ray State Republicans Join In the Crusade Against Drinking Places.
 BOSTON, July 12.-About two hundred &C., tive Republicans from all parts of the State met at Fremont Temple this morning to con- sider the propriety of sending delegates to the national conference of anti-saloon Repub- licans at Chicago. Hon. R. R. Bishop was elected to the chair, on taking which he said the saloon was an enemy to society and the party should stand solid against it. General John L. Swift followed. He said we should make uncompromising war for the uncondi- tional surrender of the saloon everywhere un- der the American flag. The committee ap- pointed for the purpose reported a set of resolutions declaring that whereas the liquor dealers had organized to control legislation the Republican party should declare it's uncompromising antago- nism to the saloon; that such legislation should be enacted as m ay be best adapted to restrict the liquor traffic; that Massachuse It's Republicans should carry the question into caucuses and conventions; that men of all parties are invited to cooperate and that the chair be authorized to appoint an eduoation committee of fifteen to present these resolutions to the next State con- vention and that said committee shall appoint delegates to represent Massa- chusetts at the anti-saloon Republican con- yention. Dr. Blackwell moved to add res olution in the interest of temperance extend ing full municipal suffrage to women. The motion was opposed by President Capen of Tufts college and Edwin Thompson as being irrelevant. H. H. Faxon addressed the con vention at length the general question, predicting that if neither of the existing parties shall champion the woman suffrage and temperance questions that na- tional prohibition party will eventually tri- um ph. Senator Morse offered supplements
 ry resolution that the question of constitu- tional prohibition should be submitted to the people, After protracted debate in which many participated Mir. Morse's resolution was adopted by vote of 94 to 24. Dr. Blackwell then withdrew his amendment and the resolutions were unanimously adopted. The following were appointed as the executive committee at large: Hons. A. H. Rice and Rufus s. Frost; for the sev

 Their own Hands. ' NEW YORK, July 12.-Adrian Crucy and his sister Lucie killed themselves last night at their residence, No. 60 Lexington avenue, by shooting. Cruey was petroleum and stock broker at 55 Beaver street and did re- munerative business. He had been ill from a sunstroke for several weeks and this is the only cause for the tragedy that can be sur missed He was fifty one years old and his sister fifty nine. They had lost all their rel atives and led rather lonely life. They left 3 note saying: ssWe both commit suicide of our own free will" This was signed s'Lucie Crucy, Ad. Cruoy" Another note was found with instructions as to their burial They were natives of Nantes, France. One thirty -calihre pistol lay near the bodies, which were found upon adjoining cots in Adrian g room. The position of the weapon did not indicate in whose hands it had been last. The windows were closed and the gas turned on so .hat death from sutfoeation would probably have resulted had the pistol shots failed to produce death.
