The prohibition question is the all ab

Council by a vote of eight to one agreed
to grant license. The prohibition people
will now move upon the County Court
which meets Monday. Some doubt ls e1-
pressed as to whether the County Court
will grant license. 4 monster prohibition
meeting was held at the rink this morning
and during debate upon the passage OF
certain resolutions, Rev. Hampton and the
Sailor Preacher became involved in a
rather personal war of words. Rev. Hamp
ton was conservative in his original re-
marks, and the Sailor Preacher Bells, de-
pree:ated the stand Hampton had taken.
Il is said that Rev. Stanley asked the
members of bis church not to buy goods OF
A. P. Rand h Co., the largest dry goods
house in town, because the firm refused to
sign the prohibition petition, and advised
his hearers 10 purchase goods at other
stores.
Rand says he has done more business
tc day than for some time since.

bitterness is already engendered.

TARIFF MATTERS.

Morrison and His Supporters Prepared to
Make q Hard Fight for Tariff Reduce
ton.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Mr. Morrison has
decided to call up the Tariff bill tin the
House the latter part Of next week. Tariff
reformers in the House are confident now
that they will be able to get the matter up
for consideration, and many believe there
will be tariff legislation of some sort this
session. They are prepared to make hard
fight and take advantage Of every circum.
stance in their favor. 1t is generally c0nsid-
cred that Mr.. Randall has placed himself at
a great disadvantage by introducing his bill
last session. BY so doing he committed him
self to the acknowledgment that revision
of the tariff is necessary, and the friends OF
revision say lie can not refuse to consider
the question. They urge, too, that no man
In the House disputes that the revenues of
the Government should be reduced, and
that they can no longer refuse to attempt
the reduction. The opponents of the Nor
risOn bill are invited to consider the prOpO.
stion in spirit of fairness and
to amend the bill in any way
they have the power to do
that may please them. Many Republicans,
1t is believed, are disposed to do this. Mr..
HiscOck and others of the Republican
leaders would favor taking up the question
and fighting the Morrison proposition with
a substitute, taking the tax off tobacco and
fruit brandies and placing sugar on the
free list Such a proposition would, it is
believed. get the votes of the Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina delega-
lions.

CLUVERIUS.

Evidence Before Governor Lee Still Fur.
Their COndcmnatOry of the Convict.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 10.-C. II. F. Dur
ing, the ex-police,nan who was arrested
last night on the charge OF bribing Herman
Joel, the watchkey witness in the Cluverius
case, was before the police court yesterday,
but the examination was postponed until
December IS. When considering the
petitions for exc cutive clemencY in the
case of Cluvcrius the Governor sent
for Joel and questioned him in regard to
the watchkey. At the request of the Gov
ernor he described the interior of the
watch key which he had repaired for Gu
verius and afterward opened it in the pres
ence of the Governor. His description tai
lied exactly with the interior Of the watch
key. At the trial the commonwealth asked
that the key be opened by Joel. but counsel
for the defense objected. This was perhaps
the strongest point in the evidence against
the prisoner, and now since it has come to
light that the interior of the watch key was
found to be as described by Joel the evidence
of the prisoners guilt is even more cOnclu-
siye.

GOULD AND GRESHAM.

The Decision Of Judge Gresham Against
tho Management of tho Wabash Road
Calls Forth Reflections BY Gould That
Are Sharply Rebuked.
NEW YORK, Dec. Robustness men and
people generally are Still talking over Judge
Gresham's decision in the Wabash railroad
case. at Chicago, and the newspapers are
landing the judge to the skies. Mr. Craw-
ford, the leading attorney in the case, also
comes In for great deal of favOrab e COM
ment The Epening Post takes Mr.. Gould
to task for his interview printed yesterday
morning, In which he said he knew little
about Judge Gresham, and that he believed
him to be suffering from Presidential fever.
The Post says: If Mr.. Gould knew little
about Judge Gresham before, he knows a
great deal about him now. His experience
with the judiciary has been enlarged in a
striking and entirely novel way, but it
would be still further improved if Judge
Gresham should issue an attachment against
him for contempt and lock him up in Jail
the next time he goes to or through the
Stale of Illinois. Such movement would,
we venture to say, add to Gould's stock of
knowledge and to the judges popularity
more than any decision lie could possibly
make. "A more familiar acquaintance with
our best judges is, in fact, what Mr.. Gould
most needs"
The Commercial Gazette has a long
article on the same subject, in which it
says: Judge Gresham'S decision last Tues
day in the Wabash receivership suit, at
Chicago. is of wide.reaching significance
and is a welcome fOrerunner that the law
will hencefOrth extend its protection to the
holders of railway mortgages. The court
decides in favor of the appellants, bond
holders; removes the present receivers of
the Wabash road, severely criticises their
past methods and directs that separate re-
ceivers be appointed Tor the main divisions
of the system. The action Of the court
marks the elimination and collapse of one
of the most bold faced and daring of all
recent schemes for railroad fraud. The
Wabash is a melancholy example of the
devastating work of the railroad wreckers.
But the court brought the cOnspratOrs to
reckoning. The admirable summing up of
the case by Judge Gresham puts final
prohibition upon the absurd and dishonest
practice of appointing as receivers for the
bOndhO!ders' interests the very men who
ruined them. To honest men, who believe
in the protection of vested rights, the
courts comments will have welcome
sound. TO railroad spectators, wreckers
and cOnSpirators they give much needed
adm0nitiOn tor the fllsure."

Life Crews Perish.

LONDON, Dec. ia .life-boat was
wrecked at Southport yesterday while en-
deayOring to relieve distressed vessel,
and thirteen persons were drowned. An
other life boat crew soon after ventured out
into the rough sea off that port to assist a
vessel and the men were also lost. Three
life-boats had left Southport to assist a
distressed vessel. The latest report says
that the crew OF one of the boats succeeded
in reaching the men on the vessel, but the
other two capsized and twenty-seven per-
sons were drowned. The survivors of one
OF the crews say that five of their number
were underneath the boat for AL hour in
water only knee deep. Three of them
were sutfUcated, but the two others were
rescued.

In experiments made by NJ. Pasteur,
it has been proved that water contain

phuric acid possesses the property of
destroying bacteria. Properly diluted,
sulphuric acid is valuable cooling

Only the diluted acid-in most cases

ter-is ever used incidentally. AS many
fever patients are fed principally on
milk. care is taken never to give liquids
containing sulphuric acid or acid LEM

has been given; otherwise it might pro-
duce unpleasant symptoms of indiges-

In 1880, out of one hundred and
eighty-four roads in New York, only
forty paid a dividend. In 1881, there
were forty-three; in 1882, forty-two; in
1883, forty; in 1884, forty-five; in 1885,
forty-five; in 1856 the figure will prob
ably be about the same as in the two
preceding years. A remarkable fact is
shown by these figures; namely, that
almost all the dividend-paying roads
nre leased roads, a dividend having
been guaranteed by the lessor.

The name "Monon," as applied to
The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago
Railroad, has significance which is
probably very little understood by those
who travel over the road, and by those
who have missed that pleasure. Near
the town of Monon is a small stream
whose waters are very swift running.
The Indians of that section, probably
the Shawnees, named the brook by this
word, which means ''swift running"
it is from this word that the road takes
Its name.

IT is said that Japanese ingenuity is
taking a new direction in the imitation
of foreign goods. The latest develop
ment is a reproduction of American
clocks, and a very remarkable imita-
ton it is, the name, ETC., being accu-
rately copied. So far as outward ap-
pearance is concerned the spurious
article is quite up to the original, but
the works are failure. Sometimes
the clock strikes fifteen or so, and
altogether its performances are more
cratic than is usually considered de-
sirable.
