A NEWSPAPER AND A WOMAN,
Joined with Cable Company, Giving Juy
Gould All His Trouble.


NEW York, March 26-To Tribune re-
porter who asked Jay Gould what was the
motive for the attack made by Kansas Pacific
bondholders upon Messrs Gould and Sage as
trustees, Mr.. Gould replied: "The motives be-
hind this assault are newspaper, cable
company and "a woman. That is all have
to say at present as TO the causes instigating
the suit. may in good time speak my mind
more freely" Mr.. Gould added that he was
always ready to have the management of the
trust ventilated in court or submitted TO ar
bitration
At the close of the interview Mr. Gould
said: 81 have said good deal more, perhaps,
than is necessary, but it may he about time
for me to let certain people and interests see
that it is not always necessary to keep silent
while otheT people do all the talking"
Mr.. Gould also said that Missouri Pacific
was worth l05, and n IN per cent dividend
would doubtless be declared Monday. Its
net income this year was S6, 200, 900 He had
invested more in this stock than all his other
investments put together The stories about
George Gould were all false
The Sun says that the woman referred to
by Jay Gould in his Tribune interview is
Mrs Amos Hopkins, who recently obtained
divorce from Mr.. Hopkins, vioo president of
the Missouri Pacific The Sun says the reason
for her enmity toward Mr., Gould is that ho
threatened to accuse her Of immortality and
thus prevent her obtaining her divorce on tho
ground of infldelity on the part of her hus-
band. In fact Mrs. Hopkins obtained the
divorce on the ground OF desertion. Mr..
Gould lives next door to Mr. Hopkins, and il
is said made an affidavit as to what he saw
going on there. This affidavit is said to have
been shown to Mrs Hopkins lawyers with the

THERE are many firm believers in the
theory that most people are crazy at
times, and facts seem to support their
belief The following, from a source I'M
known to the writer, will likely remind a
number of our readers of some incident
in their experience, which at the time of
its occurrence seemed to them most I'M
accountable: "a wise man will step
die. great philosopher will hunt for the
specks that are in his hand or on his
forehead, hunter will sometimes shoot
himself or his dog A working girl had
been feeding great clothing knife for
ten years. One day she watched the
knife come down slowly upon her hand.
Too late she woke out of her stupor with
one hand gone. For few seconds
her mind had failed. and she sat by her

watched the knife approach her

along one evening in summer he walked
as deliberately into the canal as he had
been walking along the path second be-

the water and mud and the absurdity of
the situation. He had on a new suit of
clothes and new silk hat, though the
damage was thus great, he still laughs
over the adventure. Our mail collectors
find in the iron boxes along the street all

Iowa Legislative Proceedings.

Dies MONIES, Ia, March 26.-The senate
passed Harsh's bill Saturday to elect railway
commissioners by the popular vote. 1t is
nearly identical with the house bill 1t pro
vides for the election this year of three com,
missioners by the whole state, to hold office
for one, two, and three years respectively,
one being dropped each year and his successor
elected that year. Their duties are the regu-
lation of railway rates, etc. One section Of
the bill disqualifies any employe of or holder
of an interest in a railway corporation from
holding any office in the state. The senate
then adjourned until Monday afternoon. The
house devoted itself to the calendar. An eff
fort was made to pass bill to define as alco-
holic everything containing per cent of
that chemical combination, but the bill was
killed The Cummins bill to prohibit the

THE following extract from Tile Sdnt-
tartan would seem TO indicate that a
compulsory vaccination law has its ad'
vantages 1.-THE success of the anti.vsc-
cinationists is aptly shown by the results
in Zurich, Switzerland. where for a num-
Der of years, until 1888, compulsory
vaccination law obtained, and smallpox
was wholly prevented (not single case
occurred in 1882, This result was
seized upon in the following year by the
anti vaccnationists, and used against
the necessity for any such law, and it
seems they had sufficient influence to
cause its repeal. The death returns for
that year GSS3) showed that for every
thousand death two were caused by
smallpox; In 1884, there were three; in
in 1885. seventeen; and in the first quar-
ter Of 1885, eighty-five.

New YORK, March 2G-In an interview,
outlining the present relations of the Roman
Catholic church to DIR. McGlynn, Henry
George, and the Knights of Labor, Vicar
General Preston said Saturday that no Roman
Catholic can attend the meetings of DR. Nc
Glynn or have anything to do with him, but
now that Henry George is not identified with
DR. McGlynn the church has no quarrel with
the George land doctrine except that it CON
siders it poor political economy As to Mr..
Powderly, he has fallen in the estimation of
the church because he promised Cardinal Glib
bons what he could not or at least did not
carry out, namely, to have the constitution of
the knights submitted to the church for its
approval or censure; and the knights are still
under the ban attaching to all secret societies.
Vicar General Preston denies the genuine
ness of the above interview, which is alleged
to have been had with him bya World re-

Up for Chief Justice.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 9d-The remains
of the late Chief Justice Waite will be taken
to Toledo on Wednesday afternoon, leaving
the Baltimore a. Potomac station here at z

ton car for the remains, four Pullman sleep

time for reaching Toledo is 10 a. III Thursday.
Returning the special train is expected TO
reach Washington about p. m ON Friday.
One of the city papers Saturday printed
sensational statement, the gist of which was
the possibility that the interference OF DR.
Ruth, of the navy, had hastened and, per
haps, caused the death of Chief Justice
Waite. DIR, Caroline b. Winsow has been
for many years physician to the chief just
ices family and was in charge of the case
which proved fatal last week. The statement
was made that DR. Melancthon Ruth, AN old
friend of the family, had visited Mr.. Waite
and ordered the bathing Of the chest with
tuTpentine, which was done; that when DIR,
Winslow discovered this she ordered the tur
pentine washed off and it not being done to
suit proceeded herself to do it thoroughly.
There was n good deal of talk cause by the
article, and DR., Ruth Indignantly denied that
he had interfered in any way, and Saturday
members of Chief Justice Waite's family and
friends here denied the truth Of the published
reports, or that there was any disagreement
among his physicians, or interference of any
kind, the one with the other, in the treatment
of the chief Justice during his illness
A telegram has been received from Mrs.
Waite acquiescing i'll IA suggestion that the
funeral services of the late chief justice be
held in the hall of the house of representa-
tives at noon next Wednesday, and that the
body be privately inferred at Toledo either
Wednesday evening or Thursday morning
next DIR. Ruth will meet her at Kansas City
and escort her TO Toledo. Edward T. Waite,
the second son, will remain in Toledo to meet
his mother
Bishop Paret and Drs. Bodine, Leonard,
and Mott, of the Episcopal church, will of
ficiate at the services here Wednesday in the
hall of the house of representatives. There
will be no Grafton The judges of the supreme
court, including ex-Judge Strong, will act as
pail bearers. The president and cabinet and
both houses of congress and the bar of the
supreme court will attend. The court in

Freight Movement Entirely Blocked at Uni
cago-The Rock Island in Court.
CHICAGO, March 26.-The motion for in
junction on behalf of the Burlington road
against the Rock Island road to compel the
latter to observe the interstate commerce
law pertaining to the exchange of freight,
came up for argument before Judge Gresham
in the United States court Saturday after
noon. Hon Robert T. Lincoln, of counsel
for the Rock Island, asked for continuance
until Monday afternoon, which was granted
1t is stated that the Rock Island means to
contest the motion for an injunction vigor-
Ously.
The answer of the Rock Island was read in
court. 1t charges that the Burlington has
been trying to organize a gigantic railway
trust; that the Rock Island is opposed to this
trust; that the latter road is competitor of
the %, and the object of the suit is to force
a strike on ihr Rock Island by which the 20"
will lie benefited There is much more of
the same 7Nrt in the document, all of which
Agent Morton, Of the -, says is absolutely
false, and that it is only put in to let the Rock
Island down easily from its position of viola
ton of the Interstate law
All the passenger trains of the Burlington
were gotten out properly Saturday, but
there was no movement OF freight. The Off
cials state that they will fill the places of the
striking switchmen in few days The strik-
ing switchmen and the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and Firemen held IA secret
meeting in the afternoon 1t leaked out that
there present a delegation of
Burlington bralemen, who expressed
themselves on behalf of their
brotherhood as being ready to strike. Ii was
stated, however, that only about 40 per cent
of the brakemen were members of the union,
and unless there was an assurance Of united
action, there would be no use in going out.
1t was advised that careful survey be made
OF the situation before any action be taken.

THE TEXAS INVESTIGATION.


kilograms In Evidence.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 26.-The senate
elections committee recommended Saturday
the investigation of the alleged outragos on
Republicans in Texas, which was begun last
year. 1t was stated at the outset that in the
trial of the cases in Texas every Republican
and negro was struck off the jury panel, and
that the record of the trial as sent to the com
mittee consisted of fifty three pages of testi-
mony for the defense, and none for the pros
ecution. The clerk of the court was called be
fore the committee and examined as to this
latter fact, and SWORD that he had been una
BILE to find the other 1913 pages in his office.
Among the papers which the witness sub
mitted was the following written upon II
Western Union blank and purporting to be
the original dispatch:
Nov. 2-T0 ID. b. BOLTON COURTNEY: Things
here look doubtful Do your work. L. KIRK
This is the telegram about which the com
mittee year ago tried to get some information
but Judge Kirk, who was then n witness, de
MED sending it, and the telegraph operator at
Brenham, under instructions from his SUI
perintendent, refused to testify on the sub
ject. Pugh objected to its being introduced
because its authenticity was not established,
and the company had no right to produce it.
L. D. DTfee, formerly telegraph operator
AZ Burton, produced a copy of telegram
received by him addressed to b. Learcy,
Burton, Tex, and signed by Robert Sloan, as
follows:
one. What must dor Let us hear from you
tonight. Flewellyn Overlooking against us.
Graball and Flewellyn are two of the vot-
ing places in which, it is alleged, fraud was
perpetrated in the interest of the peoples

GREAT RAILWAY INVENTION.


LOUISVILLE, Ky, March ga remarka-
bic and valuable invention in railroad mech
anism, which has recently successfully stood
a severe practical test of eight months dura-
ton on the Kentucky ~ Indiana Bridge rail
road, was sold here Saturday to the Amer
lean Semaphore company for $l50OO0, The
device is an automatic electric block signal,
the rails being used as electrodes. 1t not only
affords absolute and unfailng protection to
the block section, but indicates the presence of
a broken or spread rail, misplaced switch, or
obstruction on the track within any section.
An entirely novel scientific feature is the use
of II chloforn compound expanding in par
tial vacuum, from which the power for NOV
ing the signals is obtained. Scientists and
mechanical engineers, as well as many prom
inent railroad men, pronounce the invention
a mechanical phenomenon, and say that the
wonderful results obtained from its use will
effect "A revolution in railroad operations, as
it reduces the chances of railroad accidents to
a minimum, admitting of the maximum
speed with safety. New York, Pittsburg
Chicago and Louisville capitalists are among
the present owners of the device
