House, but the word tariff has scarcely
been heard in the Ways and Means Com
nllttee since 1t was organized. Democratic
members are formulating bill, but they
are not working in committee-room, and
no one seems to be able to tell what sort of
measure this incubating process will
bring forth. When it is prepared and in
troduced in the House and referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means definite
basis OF action will be formed and much
time will be saved. Experience has shown
that the plan of building bill i'll commit
tees is tedious and unsatisfactory. Tonight
some of the Democratic members of the
Ways and Means Committee held
a conference at dinner with Rep
resentatiye Belmont. There was not
so much decision of details of
tariff revision, but rather as to means of
unifyiDg the party in support of moderate
bill. Extreme revenue refoTmers have dis
covered, what nearly every body knew two
months ago, that there is quite as large, if
not larger, conservative element among
Democrats on the tariff question than in
the last Congress Randall has bad very
little to say to any one on his tariff views
He has not attempted to plead his we'll
known opinions in favor of the reduction
of internal taxation and moderate revision
of the tariff since the Presidents message
was read in Congress. He has not changed
his belief in any particular, but has been
doubly cautious in talking upon the subject
to less than half dozen of his most in
innate friends in the House, as
he criticised the message, and then
only after taking pledge of absolute
secrecy. His apparent confidence that
ultimately tariff revision will be made
about as he thinks it should be is strength
htrt ha -IoI-
tives of prominence in the House Who have
heretofore sturdily opposed any reduction
of duties, now concede that the time for a
tariff revision is fully ripe The necessity
for Democratic unity on this proposition is
so great that majority of the members of
the Ways and Means Committee feel the
necessity for making haste very slowly.

THE SUPREME COURT.
Justice Lamar Appears and Takes the
Usual Oath of Office.

WASHINGTON, January 1Sth.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States sits with
full bench to-day for the first time since
the 4th of May, 1885. Justice Lamar
reached the Capitol little after IL o'clock
this morning and proceeded to the Justices
room of the Supreme Court.
The Judges, in black-silk robes, filed into
the chamber in solemn procession at II
o'clock, and the assemblage, at the tap OF
the gavel, rose respectfully and remained
standing until the members of the Court
had taken their seats. Lamar, clad in q
well-ftting suit of black, followed the Court
and took his seat beside Clerk McKenny,
at the right of the bench The Chief JUS
tice announced that the first proceedings OF
the Court would be the reading of the COM
mission of Lamar and the administration
of the oath. The commission was there
upon handed to the Clerk, who read it, af-
ter which Lamar read impressively from
manuscript the judicial oath, as follows
], L. Q C Lamar, do solemnly swear, that !
Will administer justice without respect to per
sons, and do equal right to the poor and to the
rich, and that | will faithfully and impartially
discharge and perform all duties incumbent
on me, as Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, according to the best
Of my ability and understanding, agreeable
TO the Constitution and laws of the United
States, SO help me God.
He took the Bible as he uttered the last
sentence, and at the end solemnly kissed it
He was then escorted behind the screen
which extends the length of the bench be-
hind the chairs of the Justices, and after a
minutes delay reappeared at the left, clad
in new, flowing robe of glossy black silk
The Court and semblage arose. The
new Justice bowed to his associates, and
then to the bar and the public, and took
his seat in the chair of the Junior Justice
at the extreme left of the bench. The
Court then proceeded with its ordinary
routine business

RESOLUTIONS which End With n Boom
For Cleveland.
HARRISBURG (Pa.), January 1Sth.-At a
meeting of the Democratic State Central
Committee this afternoon, Dallas Sanders
OF Philadelphia, candidate of Congress-
man Randall, was defeated for Chairman
by Elliott Kisner of Luzerne county, who
was put forward by Congressman Scott. A
large number of prominent Democrats
from all parts of the State were present,
and participated in the preliminary skirm-
ish. An Executive Committee, which con-
slsts OF w. A. Wallace, Samuel ]. Randall,
E. b. Coke, J. Henry Cochrane, William
l.. Scott, William McClelland and William
Mutchler was selected after contest. Con-
gresham Scott presented the following res
oiution which was adopted, after some
show of opposition by Davis of Lancaster,
and others:
Resolred, That this committee cordially and
emphatlcally indorses the Administration OF
fresldent Cleveland. 1t has been thoroughly
true to the best interests of the republic. The
peace and prosperity of the country are largely
due to its wise and benign policy, with respect
TO both foreign and domestic matters 1t has
reformed the civil service, abolished useless
oihces, restored many millions of acres of land
to the public domain, made large reduction of
the pubic debt, prevented the importation OF
foreign pauper labor under contract, and has
wisely and consistently endeavored to effect a
reduction of idle surplus in the treasury and
tighten the burden of taxation borne bv the
mass of the people. The line of policy laid
down In the last annual message of the P1esj.
| dent for revision and reduction OF war tariffs
especially commends itself to us as q sure guar.
antee OF prosperity to all classes of producers
and of that genuine and honest protection tC
labor, so long pretended but never vouchsafed
by monopoltstic legislation of the so-called Re
publican party. We therefore avow, without
| reservation or qualification, our unshaken con
tidence in the wisdom, courage and patriotism
OF President Cleveland, and earnestly and hope
great Office which he has so acceptably filed.

HARD STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.
An Old Man Sentenced to be Hanged Six
Times

HUDSON On. ", January 17th.-Oscsr F.
Beckwith, a prisoner in the Columbia
County Jail, has been sentenced five times
to be hanged, been tried twice for the same
crime, and this morning the Court of Ap-
peals denied motion for new Trial. In
consequence he will be taken in few davs
before the Court of Oyer and Ierminer, and
for the sixth time sentenced to death.
Beckwith's crime is the killing Of Simon
a. Kandercook in Austerlitz, Columbia
county, in January, 1882. Both men were
woodchoppers, and quarreled over a sup
posed gold mine near town. The victims
body was found in Beckwith's hut, por-
tons having been burned. Beckwith fled
to Canada, and eluded capture until Febru-
ary, 1885. He was extradited, and while
IN custody admitted the killing, but claimed
that it was done in selfdefense. He was
convicted of murder first on November 20.
1886. He secured a new trial on the
grounds of newly discovered evidence. He
was again convicted in February last The
sensational scene created by Beckwith at
Saratoga last summer, where he was taken
to be sentenced by the General Term,
screaming and shouting Throughout the
proceedings, was the most exciting and
startling ever witnessed. The prisoner is
about So years old.

MRS. LANGTRY's FENCE.
The Authorities Complain That 1t is 1.
Nuisance.


New YORK, January 1Sth-Mrs. Langtrv
is involved with the city authorities in con
sequence of a fence recently erected in
front of her residence on West Twenty
third street. The fence is a result of Mrs.
Langtry's distaste to the curiosity which a
certain class of the general public mani
tests in regard 10 her movements. Her
pretty little house stands some distance
back from the street and the iron railing
formerly drew line between the ward and
the sidewalk. Along t. is railing crowds
were wont to gather nightly TO stare at the
Jersey Lily as she walked from the front
door to the carriage to be driven 10 the
theater. She hoped that time would enable
her to move about as an ordinary mortal
not, as she expressed it, like q hunted ami
nal; but, though the nuisance has abated
considerably and the nightly gatherings
grew smaller with the passage of time, thev
were by no means discontinued. The fair
actress month ago, in desperation, had a
high board fence erected, shutting off the
view of her house from the street, enabling
her to reach the gate at least unobserved
The fence is by no means lacking in pictur-
esqueness. The gate-post is brick, sur
mounted by esthetic lanterns, bnt it is out
side the stoop line. and the authorities said
she must move il back.

MARYsvILLE, January 1Sth.-A man Civ
ing the name of George Hazard was ar
rested her to-day on q charge of ub;uining
money under false pretenses. He claimed
to be Grand Army veteran, and obtained
aid from the Grand Army men here. Sus-
picion being excited, telegraphie inquiry
was made, and an answer received from
the Grand Army headquarters to-day says
that he was an imposter. AS no formal
complaint had been preferred against him,
he was released this evening.
The weather has greatly moderated, with
prospects for rain tonight.
There are forty men at work on two con-
tracts for James O'Brien's irrigation ditch
enterprise, and it is expected the number
will soon be increased to over one hundred.
The Yuba river is tapped at Timbuctoo,
thence water is taken by pipes and ditch
fourteen miles down to the ranch of
o O'Brien, which is about eight miles from
this city. The ditch viii carry 5000 in
ches, and its owner will use about 1000 in
ches to irrigate 1000 acres of land. He will
sell water very cheap. The country tray
ersed by this ditch is now mainly devoted
TO sheep-raising, but irrigation will prob
ably create considerable rise in the value of
land for other purposes.

Reasons Why Tariff Revision Progresses

WAsHINeToS, January 1sth.-Consider-
able dissatisfaction is felt among represent
auyes OF both parties in the House at the
lagging manner in which public business is
being transacted. The new members of
the House, and there are over 125 of them,
came here with the idea Of jumping at Con-
gressional work as hungry trout rises to a
fly, and on dong marvels for their constit-

managing affairs in a manner altogether to
leisurely to suit their tastes, and impatient
murmurings have been heard ever since
Congress met. The Presidents message. of
December 9Th, led to expectations
that tariff legislation would be
brought sharply and quickly before the

New YORK, January 1Sth.-A verdict for
six cents was awarded to Amelia GREGORY
in the city Court to-day under peculiar cir
cumstances. Mrs. Gregory sued her di-
vorced husband, Herman Sehwenke. for
SANDER. She wanted ST 600. Mr. Schwenkes
counsel stated that he intended to prove
that the plaintiff had poisoned people, com
mitted arson, been indicted for bigamv and
was generally an immoral person. Upon
this announcement the counsel for the
plaintiff held hasty consultation. and
an agreement was speedily entered into
by which Mrs. Gregory was to receive six
cents. Schwenke afterwards said he agreed
that the woman should have some kind OF
verdict, for if he had not she would have
thrown vitriol in his face.
