For Mutual Protection.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Delegates rep
resenting seventeen fraternal societies with
a membership of $50, 900. met at the Riggs
house in this city to-day and organized the
national congress of fraternal beneficiary
societies. Permanent organization was
effected by the election of the following
officers: Leroy Andrus, of New York.
president; w. Fl. Barnes, of California.
president of the Pacific Coast Press assOcia-
tion, first vice president; j. FL. Butler. of
Massachusetts, second vice president; r. c.
Hill. editor of the Buffalo Sunday Truth.
recording secretary; D. NJ. Shedd, of New
Nelson, of Washington, treasurer. A con-
stItutiou was adopted of which the princi-
pal provision is that none but legitimate
fraternal beneficiary societies working
under ritual and lodge system shall be
eligible to membership in the national con-
gress. The main object of the congress is
to organize among the various beneficial
orders a system of mutual information,
benefit and protection. 1t is said that a
number of business and speculative COM
panies are organized under titles which
would lead many persons to believe that
they were fraternal beneficiary societies.
Protection is desired against the companies.
Among the fraternities represented are the
Ancient Order of United Workmen with
172, 900 members, Knights of Honor with
13O, 900 members. Royal Arcanim with

dent directed that the matter be placed in
the hands of the lighthouse board, with
view of determining the utility of the
statue as beacon. Mr.. Goff, president of
the American system of electric lighting,
subsequently waited on the secretary of the
lighthouse board, and made a proposition
to light the statue free of expense to the
government. He was told to put his offer
in writing, and it would be considered. A
member of the board, in speaking of the
subject this afternoon, said that the main
question to be determined was whether an
electric light was an aid or detriment to
navigation. There were many persons
who had the latter view. and it is a fact.

THE VETE RENAaIANS.
some Resolutions Presented Re-
gardiDg snOcuiutiOn which May
Cause Much Debate.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-The veterinarians
convention this morning listened to and
briefly discussed the report of a committee
appoln nted to investigate the cattle diseases
OF this city. That report was that the dis
ease now prevalent in the distillery stables
and elsewhere in the city of Chicago and
vicinity is contagious pleuro- pneumonia.
Ihe committee, composed of V. Il. Atchi-
son, ID. E. Salmon, James D. Hopkins. j.
w. Gadsden and Z. Paquin. recommended
that all diseased cattle be slaughtered DIR.
hopkins offered the following, which was
referred 10 the committee on resolutions:
Whereas, The contagious pleuro- pneumonia
OF cattle exists in certain restricted localities
of the United States:
Whereas. InoculationfIs IS heing practiced in
certain states as preventative measure and
is being advocated for general adoption:
and
whereas, The experience of other nations
has shown that this contagion Is prevalent in
locations where inOculatiOn is practiced, aud
that lnoculated cattle are dangerous to other
animals with which they afterward cohabit;
and,
Whereas, The veterinary profession of
Europe condemns inoculation except in To-
calitieS that are thoroughly infected and
where no effort is being made to extirpate
the plague; therefore, be it
Resolved, By this convention of veterinar-
ians and sanitary boards that, considering
the limsted territory infected in this country,
every effort should be directed to the thor
cugh eradication of this disease from Amer
lea; and, be it further.
Resolved, That we consider incubation to
be an extremely dangerous and Objectionable
practice in the present condition of affairs In
this country. and one which should be dis
couraeed by the veterinary profession and be
prohibited by law as long as there is q posi-
bility OF stamping out the disease.
An effort was made to suppress this reso-
luton, and it will meet with much opposi-
ton when brought to passage. At meet
ing of the American Shropshire Sheep Reg
istry association here to-day. the officers
who held place last year were reelected.
including President S. III. Todd, of Wake
man, o. 1t was resolved to ask all fair as

AMERICA LUCR ETA SMITH.
A Chicago Banker Calls His Wife an
idventureSS.

CHICAGO. Nov. 16.-Banker Rawson
assails his wife's character in most violent
manner. They were married March L,
1886, and lived together until June 23. She
continued to occupy their home on West
Monroe street until Sept. 29 when
she came home one day to find herself
barred out by detectives and policemen in
her husbands employ. who had been in
practical possession of the house ever since
RaWson's departure. The banker says his
entire married life was terrible and con-
tinual drama of domestic wretchedneSs,
whose sole cause was complainant's
phenomenally awful, devilish and wicked
temper and character He endured more
misery in his honeymoon with her
than in all the rest of his life. He
deserted his home only when forbearance
and safety were further impossible. She
was addicted to fits of most furious. ungov-
ernable and unreasonable rage and fury;
also to habits of profanity and blasphemy.
which are deeply ingrained in her nature
and phenomenal in their violence. All this
she carefully concealed until shortly after
their marriage. Suddenly bursting forth
one day. she made use of the most filthy and
disgusting language. On subsequent oc-
casion she used physical violence and struck
him w ithOut cause. She also stated that
she would poison any man with whom she
had trouble. and, for the purpose of terri
flying him, made pretense on
one occasion of poisoning herself.
Mi. Rawson also sets forth that while she
was clerk in the patent office at Washing
ton she was so frequently in trouble on ac-
count of her depravlty of temper that SEN
sational articles were written of her in the
newspapers. Her second husband, Charles
G. Lee. fired several shots into railroad
car, either at her or her paramour, and in
cident that found its way into the Police
Gazette. Mr.. Rawson also relates the
particulars of the trip to st. Louis. as told
by the Pullman palace car conductor last
Thursday, and asserts that she is an ad-
venturess, formerly known by the names of
Slaymaker. Lee and America Lucretia
Smith. Since his deSertion of her she had
taken one of her admirers, Leonard NJ.
Jordan, to room in the chamber adjoining

Tho WHEELER Murder.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 16.-Benjamin
WHEELER, the old man who was arrested on
suspicion of having had something to do
with the murder of his wife last Friday
night, was released to-day on So, 500 bail.
Patrick Graves. who was charged with the
crime by WHEELER, is still held in default
of SO, 900 bail. The preliminary hearing
of the prisoners was begun in the police
court to-day, but was not concluded. The
coroner has not yet rendered his verdict.
The police are still at work on the case. but
have made no further arrests. One theory
advanced by them is that WHEELER and his
wife quarreled. that she struck him and
he chOked her to death. Physicians scout
this theory, however. and declare that the
wound on Whellers head could not have
been inflicted by the woman. The case is
still shrouded il mystery.

Rumor, bout Randall.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The rumor is
gaining currency that the president has
selected Samuel jackson Randall as the
man to take second place upon the ticket
with himself in 1888. Efforts to trace the
rumOr have resulted in the unearthing of a
series of photographic comments, daily or
semi weekly, in the Philadelphia Press.
There is evidently an endeavOr on the part
of Republican managers to manipulate this
story. for what purpose can only be sur
missed. That Mr.. Cleveland is looking for
first place upon the Democratic ticket no
one can say. But it is almost certain that
if he were he would have but little time,
if any, to work boom for gentleman
whose enmities in the Democratic party are
SO many and so bitter as those OF Mr.. Ran
dali. The abilities and the sincerity of Mr..
Randall cannot be denied; but that he would
be popular nominee. in either position,
upon the Democratic ticket may be subject
to several interrogation marks.

of the recount III the Second assembly dis
trict has not yet been decided. Chief JUS
tice Beasley disposed of ten disputed votes

SECRETARY Walls CASE.
1t Comes Before the American TURF
Congress in the shape oil an AL
verse keDOrt.

verse Report.
CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 16.-The ad-
iourned meeting of the American Turf
congress called to pass upon the charges
against Secretary Vail, was called to order
at 3 o'clock this afternoon. at the Kenard
house. by President Grant. Two hundred
and twenty-six delegates were present.
F.. S. Edwards, A. M. StettOn and David
Bonner, the committee appointed at the
Chicago meeting to investigate the affairs OF
the secretary, made their report, which, to-
gether with the report of the expert ac-
countant and appendix consisting OF COM
plants from different associations, makes a
pamphlet of over forty pages. In the re-
port the committee say:
From investigation it is apparent to your
committee that much useless expense and
waste of labor is incurred IN the conduct OF
the office. A repetition of the work often
occurs and the wretched 8, TEN adopted to
record the finances of the association has
necessarily created much confusion, where a
proper and well organized system would have
produced better results much less cost.
That there was studied neglect or just de-
mands and obstinate refusal on the part OF
the secretary to furnish inquirllg members
with the information they were entitled to, at
the hands of a servant of the association, is
plain from the tenor of the accompanying
communications. Such conduct on the part
of an agent of q commercial firm would re-
sult in its bankruptcy from its loss OF conf
dence and such conduct continued would
have caused the entire disintegration OF the
National Trotting association.
The report of j. Yolden, Of New York,
shows that Mr.. Vail has
PAID OVER TO THE TREASURER
all moneys held by him for the association,
the last payment having been made but a
short time since. The report of the COM
mittee was received and filed ana the state
ment of the expert accountant referred to
the board of review. New York was chosen
as the place for holding the next meeting.
after which the congress adjourned. There
was considerable excitement at the adjourn
ment Festus j. Wade, of ST. Louis,
wanted to offer a resolution thanking the
investigating committee, but was prevented
from doing so. Several Western members
then explained their votes against adjourn
ment, saying that they did not like to be
sat down upon. Adjournment was carried
by a vote of 1874 to 90. The Western dele
gates then met and Col. Edwards made
speech denying the charge made by the
Turf, Field and Farm that he had offered
to sell reports of the committee to newspa-
pers IN advance A resolution offered by
s. A. Browne, of Kalamazoo, eXOnerating
Col. Edwards. was then adopted. A reso-
luton was also adopted thanking the in
vestigating committee and asking the board
of review to remove Vail from the Office of
secretary and appoint another man in his

The Joint Com mittee i'm Session at
Chicago Makes Several Important
Changes.
CHICAGO. Nov. 16.-The rules committee
of the National league and American Base
Ball association resumed its session early
this morning. The following changes have
been made to-day:
The high and low-ball system of delivery
has been abolished, any ball now being con-
sidered fair that passes tn player pet" cen
his shoulder and knee and that passes over
the plate. Bunting will, in future, not De al
lowed Any obvious attempt to make q foul
hit will be scored as strike. Clubs Will not
toss for choice of position in future, the right
of choice invariably resting with the home
club. Five balls and four strikes will be al
lowed instead of six balls and three strikes,
as heretofore. When q batsman takes MS
base on balls he shall be credited with Dase
hit A batsman shall take his base wnen
struck by pitched ball. Any motion, what
ever, on the part of the pitcher made to de-
ceive the batter shall be considered balk.
MANY of the more important changes III
cOrporated thus far have been at the Sug-
gestiOn of the advisory board. composed OF
Capts. AnsOn, Ward, COmiSkey and Swart-
wood. who, it is believed are carrying out
the views and wishes of the great majority
of the PLAYERS in both of the great organ
izations Perfect harmony seems to exist
between the committees and this board, and
the work has been greatly simplihed and
rendered far more effective by the ad-
mission of the players as representatives TO
the council. A number of base ball mag
mates .and other prominent gentlemen Ill
the affairs in the national game arrived this
morning, and others will reach here to-
night and tomorrow morning. Among
the late comers are Frederick Stearns.
president of the Detroit club; John b. Sage.
ex-president of the Buffalo club; John L.
Morrow. president of the Southern league;
Manager Watkins. of the Detroits, and Clltf
Carroll of the Washingtons; President
Hewitt and Manager GaffneY. of the Wash
ingtons; A. II. Soden, of the Bostons, and
representatives of the Kansas City ana 0t.
Louis teams will be here this even
ing. One of the important matters to
come before the league meeting to- morrow
is the complexion of the league circuit for
the following year. The president OF
league club stated to reporter this morn
ing that he believed the question OF the
circuit would be settled before tomorrow
night. Pittsburg will be represented here
to- morrow. and the delegate is now here.
though who he is could not be ascertained.
League officials say nothing when ques-
toned AS to the matter. 1t is rumored.
however, that Kansas City will be dropped
and Pittsburg admitted to fill the vacancy.
