THE BILL ALLOTING LANDS IN SEvERALTY
TO THE INDIANS PASSED.

THE BILL ALLoTING LANDS IN sEvERALTY
TO THE INDIANS PASSED.
WASHINGTON, D. c. February 25.-Mr.
Frye, from the committee on commerce, re-
ported favorably the bill authorizing the
construction of a bridge across Staten
Island sound, known as Arthur Kill, and
to establish the same as post road. &
Among the bills introduced and appro-
priately referred, was one by Mr.. Edmunds
providing for the inspector of meats for ex-
portation, prohibiting the importation Of
adulterated articles of food and drink, and
authorizing the president to make pro-
clamation in certain cases.
The senate's consideration of the bill, to
provide for the allotment of land in the
several territories for Indians. Mr.. Maxey,
moved to strike out the clause that pro-
poses to make citizens Of Indians who
should accept the lands in severalty.
The motion was rejected.
Mr.. Teller offered an amendment prOvid-
ing that the president may allow home
stead Settlement by citizens Of the United
States on each alternate quarter section
with the Indians, and that for land SO taken
by white people, the Indians holding lands
under treaties should be compensated. The
amendment was rejected and the bill
passed.
The educational bill was laid before the
senate and Mr.. George continued his re-
marks in favor Of the bill. During his
speech, quite an exciting colloquy took
place between Mr.. George and Mr.. Morgan.
The latter denied some of the differences
drawn by Mr.. George from his (Mr. Nor
gam speeches on former measures before
congress, and said Mr.. Georges reading
misrepresented him.
Mr.. GeorgeI shall read the senator's
own language, and then l shall not mis-
represent him.
Mr.. Morgan-It does misrepresent me.
Mr.. George-If read your own language
it will not misrepresent you.
Mr.. Morgan-It does misrepresent me,
and the senator knows it.
Mr.. George-Iti is untrue; the statement
by the senator is simply untrue, and he
knows it.
Mr.. Morgan saw no force in the distinc-
ton drawn by by Mr.. Maxey and the other
opponents Of the bill, between money in
the treasury drawn from taxation and
money drawn from other sources.
The debate was continued by Mr.. Dolph,
Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Logan, brief remarks be-
ing made by Mr.. Edmunds and Mr.. Hoar.
Mr.. Allison suggested an amendment,
which he said he would offer at the
proper time, providing that in each state in
which there shall be separate schools for
white and colored children the money paid
shall be apportioned and paid out for the
support of such white and colored schools
in the proportion that the illiteracy of the
white and colored people bore to each other
as shown by the census.
The senate then adjourned.

PENSION APPROPRIATION. r.
In the morning hour the house resumed,
in committee Of the whole. the consideration
of the Hennepin canal bill. Mr.. Murphy,

A MUcH-MARRIED BARBER.

A New York dispatch says: A jour
neyman barber named Kinzlich made
the acquaintance about year ago of
Annie Goldschmidt, a pretty brunette,
who earned a living by making pocket
books. The pair were married by
Alderman John Quinn at the City Hall
on the 22d of December. 1885, Einzlich
giving the name of Kenoike. The
man took his bride to Boston, and after
pawning nearly all her clothes, de-
serted her. The poor woman worked
in tailoring establishment until her
condition prevented her from earning
a livelihood. She then came to this
city with the woman with whom she
boarded, and searched for her husband.
He was found working at his old bust
ness. She had him arrested for de-
sertion, and Justice Patterson held
him in $3.50 bail.
Then strange developments cropped
out. Samuel Adler, a second cousin of
Kinzlich, appeared upon the scene.
he had heard of her marriage to his
relative, and he told her startling
story. Adler came to the District At
torney's office with the young woman.
and told Assistant District Attorney
Semple what he had already said to
her, that Kinzlich had seven wives in
Europe He added that it had been
Kinzlich's custom to travel from city
to city throughout Europe, and marry
woman in every city, and that one
of his wives, who now lives in Hester
street house, furnished the money to
get Kinzlich out on bail.
Subsequently Herman Purisch swore
that five years ago Kinzlich was living
with one of his wives in Ryerjow,
Austria, and Adolph Linder testified
that four years ago he was present at
wedding where Kinzlich was married
in Kracow. Mr.. Semple said this was
sufficient evidence, and sent Detective
Geritchen to Justice Patterson to pro-
cure the warrant for bigamy, and ar
rest the much-married man.

By a law passed at the last session
of the Legislature, turnpike companies,
by vote of those owning majority
of the shares of its stock, may vacate
and abandon any portion of their road
not exceeding two-thirds of the entire
length of the road, provided that the
abandoned road is in as good repair as
when the company began operating it.
This does not impair the right of the
company to collect toll on the aban-
doned portion at the same rate per
mile previously charged. The resolu-
ton of abandonment has simply to be
signed by the President and Secretary,
acknowledged before a Commissioner
of Deeds, and recorded in the office of
the Clerk of the county in which such
turnpike is situated. 1t is easy enough
to vacate an Improbable turnpike if
the stockholders wish.

ON THE WAY TO CRESSON.

A route, which is celebrated the
world over for the variety, extent and
beauty of its scenery, is that covered
by the main line of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. 1t traverses territory be-
tween the East and Pittsburgh, in
which almost every character of topog-
raphy is represented, and in which
every class of industry is followed.
The handsome suburban district lying
beyond Philadelphia, gives place to
the great agricultural region of Ches-
ter and Lancaster counties-a land as
famous for its natural beauty as for
the fertility of its soil. From Harris
burg the line hugs the banks of the
picturesque Susquehanna for many
miles, until it reaches the placid wa
ters of the Blue Juniata. and follows
through the mountains the trail cut
by this pretty stream. Some miles
west of Harrisburg the blue heights of
Kittatinny Mountain mark the en-
trance of the road into the region of
grand scenery. From this point on
to Cresson the route presents con-
tinuous panorama of the widest noun
tain views to be found in the Eastern
States. Never for moment is there
lack of the most notable scenery
Peak and gorge, torrent and eddy,
precipice and plateau, forest and boul-
der, all lend their aid in forming a
grand and vivid picture of untamed
nature.
In the midst of such surroundings
rests Cresson. The place harmonizes
well with its magnificent environment.
A great hotel situate in the centre of
spacious grounds, shaded by forest
of mountain trees, offers the truest
rest and the best recreation to the
workworn and weary. 1t is grand
mountain resort, possessing all the re-
sources for the entertainment and
diversion of the sojourner.
The first of the series of excursions
to this region will be run by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company on Thurs
day, September I'd, to be followed by
others on the 9th and 10TH A special
train will leave Broad Street Station
at 10. 80 a. m. Excursion tickets. linn
tied to $50 for each excursion, good
for ten days, and including one days
board at the Mountain House, will be
sold from Philadelphia at $500. Those
who desire to remain longer than the
one day will receive the benefit of a
reduction in the regular hotel rates.

Whisky is figured on in this way b

Whisky is figured on in this way by
the Atlanta Constitution: The price is
now $1.0S a gallon, wholesale. Now.
let's see about that. The tax is 80 cts.
per gallon, SO that only IS cents is
paid for whisky. There must be a
profit on making it at 1s cents per
gallon or the distillers would close up.
If the tax was off whisky would be
almost as cheap as water-cheaper
than Salt Springs water, which is 25
cents per gallon. In the days of
whisky sours the Alantian paid 25
cents for the fabrication of his whistle.
That is, he paid about fifty times the
cost. Really, it seems that this is not
an age of whisky drinking. 1t is the
age of stamp drinking. A man who
is supposed to imbibe $1.0S worth of
whisky really takes into his system so
cents worth of revenue stamps. There
is but one way to avoid it, and that is
to boycott the liquor.

DEATH OF MRS. A. E. BALLARD

''The weary wheels of life stood still
at last" in the case of Mrs. Mary
Emily Ballard, at an early hour on
Monday morning, August 23d, and the
invalid of many years was at rest.
Mrs. Ballard was not able to leave her
beautiful cottage home for many
months past, and gradually became
more feeble until the hour of her
release. Conformable to her wish and
request, the funeral services, which
were held at noon on Wednesday of
last week, were of the simplest and
most informal character. President
Stokes and all the members of the
Ocean Grove Association, with a large
assemblage of friends were present. A
portion of Scripture was read by DIR.
Alday, after which Bishop Wilson de-
livered a tender address and offered
prayer. Rev. Henry NJ. Brown then
sang favorite hymn of the deceased,
Crock of Ages, cleft for me-" in which
the sympathizing audience joined, and
the remains were conveyed to Bloom
field, N. j., for interment. In their
bereavement and sorrow, our vice
president and his son and daughter
have the heartfelt coincidence of a very
large circle of friends throughout the
State of New Jersey.-Ocean Gr0re

lowed a china nest egg outside of the
house, thrust its neck through knot
hole, and swallowed real egg, and
was thus unable to go backward or

THE LAW OF MORTGAGES.

Vice=C Chancellor Bird recently filed a
Ferry & Atkin, of Newark. in which
he says: The right of a mortgagor to
compel a mortgage in possession to
account for the rental value of the
mortgaged premises, is, in a suit by
the mortgage to foreclose, pure
matter of defence which the mort
gagor may avail himself of by answer.
The new facts which may properly be
introduced into a pending litigation
by means of cross bill, are such and
such only as are so directly and closely
connected with the course of action
on which the original bill is founded
as to render the cross suit a mere aux
iliary of the original suit, or graft or
dependency upon it. A purchaser OF
an equity of redemption at judicial
sale takes the land burdened with the
mortgage, and he has no right, there
fore, to ask that some other fund be
applied in discharge of the mortgage
debt in relief of his estate. The per-
sonal estate of a decedent is the pri-
mary fund for the payment of his
debts, and an heir, devisee or widow
has right to have it so applied in re-
lief of the land which they take, but
this right belongs to them alone. Their
alience or mortgage has no such right.

rho congre..ional Conte.t.

The latest advices at hand at this
writing as to the result of the Con-
gressional election in the Sixth Dis
trict leaves it in a much more satis-
factory condition than deemed possi-
BILE to forecast yesterday morning
when the HERALD went to press. The
news from San Bernardino county
cuts the Republican majority down
to nothing. In San Diego the major
ity on the same side is pared of much
of its former fair proportions. Then
this county is SO far reduced as TO
cut little figure in the affair.
Per contra the Democracy has car
ried San Benito by vote OF some
200 majority, while Tulare comes to
the front with 800 majority. Fresno
gives the Democratic state ticket 500
majority, and there is Kern still to
hear from. 1t has in all probability
given the Democratic ticket 800 votes
majority. The figures give very
safe majority on the final adjustment,
and there is no doubt to disturb the
well founded hope that Mr.. Lynch
will represent us in the Fiftieth Con-
gress of the United States.

Repeaters and Vote sharps.

August T. Lewa, charged by Deputy Sher-
if Darcy with attempting to bribe voter
during the late election, will be taken be-
fore Justice Ranney this morning. James
McGovern, who tried to vote twice. will
also be arraigned. A barber by the name
of Mariana. who bought the vote of one
Chino Feliz, was arrested, though Feliz
escaped. If he escapes punishment the
tonsorial artist will call it a close shave.
Justice Ranney will attend to him also.
Jose Olivas, and Ayala, who bought the
vote of Cristobal Ayala, the old
fellow with the big proboscis who
is well known for his politeness
and his ugly mug, have languished at the
city Jail ever since election day and have as
yet not been taken before any magistrate,
but they will probably be examined by the
U. S. Commissioner. L. E. .Asavedo. who
bought V. Rodriguez vote and the seller O (

each. man who attempted to vote under
the name of James L. Howell, the unfortu-

voted at the town of San Fernando, was re-
leased and allowed to return to rural pre-

Tourists make their first appearance at the
Grand Opera House. 1t is to be regretted
that their stay here is to be of SO short dura-
tion. The Music and Drama, of San Fran
cisco, says: "The japanese troupe visited
Oakland last week, and the attendance was
very large. What clever, graceful little
tricks they do perform, and how weird that
little cry they give occasionally does sound.
The entertainment was a pleasant and ap-
propriate one for families, and the cheerful,
sunny faces OF the little performers were
very amusing. Their repertoire is very
large, including acts never before accom-
plished, such as the Human Fountain, Rope
Ascension, and terrific Slide for Life, etc.,
etc. The Dancing Rice Barrels, Japanese
Dancing, Trapeze and Ladder performing,
Double Swinging Bamboos, Posturing, Top
Spinning, the Magic Ladder, etc., are very
wonderful feats, and must be seen to be ap-
preciated." The matinee will be Saturday

names of precincts, All of the vote is be-

cured.

sibly some others. Bowles Z. Taney is
elected Township Justice on the Democratic
ticket, and Martin AguirIe ana Ed Smith
Constables, the first Republican and the

The state Ticket,

So uncertain political contest has
seldom if ever kept people for three
days on the tip-toe Of expectation as
that the results of which are still
pending in the State. At this writ
ing. 10 P. M. Thursday, it remains in
state OF uncertainty to which no
words can do justice. But for the
nfterthought Of putting up perfect,
motley gang of side-shows, to help
Glect Swift, the Democratic majority
in the State would have been a phe-
Dpmenal one. As it stands now the
16sult is hanging in the balance, the
1nales OF which are alternately up
md down. Whatever may be the
Anal outcome, one thing is certain,
md that is the utter weakness of
Gwift's candidacy. He comes into
1ho city by the slimmest of majori-
1IcG, and but for the detection Of SO
large part OF the voters Of San
Francisco to the cranky Coroner OF
Gand lot fame, he would have been
severed beyond all recovery by
