The poo Pictures.

NEW York, April 24.-The examina,
ton in the Diss Debar case was continued
to-day and Lawyer Marsh testified at
length regarding his acquaintance with
the madam, his belief in the Spook PIC.
lures, etc. He believed the m was
really the daughter of Lola Montez and
was also under the impression that she
was the daughter of the king of Bavaria.
Witness firmly believed that the pictures
and spirit messages given him by the
madam were supernatural.
The madam, as a medium, had inform
ed him Raphael and Rembrant had
out of compliment to each other painted
the pictures of each other and they were
presented to him.
An employe Of an artist supply store
testified to purchases having been made
by the madam.
Another witness testified to purchases
made by her of material which could be
used for re%touching old pictures or paint
ing new ones.
Mr.. Frielander, an artist, testified that
the Spook pictures were daubs of the
worst character, and that the paints used
were modern, and not such as were used
by the old masters.

Money Needed.

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-It is re-
ported that the need of ready o
above current expenses, which are now
paid with difficulty, are a source of much
concern to the general executive board of
knights of Labor. At a recent session of
the board $4,000 was appropriated to
start a printing Office, but aside from the
brown stone headquarters worth 500, 900,
the only available property is the Con.
nellburg coal mine in Ohio. The sale of
this has been authorized and the board
expect to realize enough to get the print
ing office well under way, and thereby les
sen the enormous printing bill which
amounted to $40. 600 last year.
The sale of the mine, however, will do
but little to improve the finances. A
member of the board admits that there is
barely enough money in the treasury to
pay current expenses and keep the ma
chinery going until the payment of the
july per capita tax. The quarterly re-
turns are Tar from satisfactory, and unless
money is received between this date and
July the force at the general office will
have to be still further reduced. The ex-
penses OF the order are now very heavy.
During the years lSS5-S6 the order
gained nearly 10000 members, and the
total expenses were $lO5, 1876. Under the
present administration for 1867 the
order lost PIT 900 members, and the totaI
expenses were $49l ,GS3.

BosTON, April 2i.-Thc annual report
of the Union Pacific railroad now being
printed reviews the relations with the
government, the advantages of the Ore
gon Navigation lease, and shows that the
effect of the inter state act in
reducing local earnings has been slight.
The revenue from local freight, excluding
commercial coal, is $lI, 500, 772, n de
crease of 3 .33 per cent from 1856, a net
decrease in the funded debt Of $S3S, 81.
Three million dollars are needed for
equipment and equipment notes will be
issued; tie investment and permanent
improvement account was increased
$6,SlS. 1874; the gross earnings were $l9,-
$40, against $I7.S46, 1872 in 1886,
and the net earnings $9,l Ill $50, against
1922, 700 for the previous year. The in.
come for 1887 shows a balance of So, $780,
5O7, or 5.9l per cent upon the capital
stock; $2.SO4,472 bonds were cancelled,
and l,0lG,0OO collateral trust IS were sold
to foreign bankers.
At the close of the year the company
has notes payable of So, 335, 600 and the
gross floating debt was 81, AGA, 443. The
cash assets exceeded the debt by $4Ol $50.
The local business, including commercial
coal, was $l2,S55, S97, an increase over
1856 of I.97 per cent. The through
business was $l,673, 507, IN increase of
47.S2 per cent.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The total
amount of bonds offered to the govern
ment to-day was Sl,642, 900. The fol
lowing were accepted: Three hundred
thousand registered As at 1853, $3OO,C coo
registered As at l.25}.
The president issued an order today
assigning Maj. Gen. Crook to the COM
mand of the division of Missouri, and
Brig. Gen. Brooke to the command of
the division of the Platte.
Secretary Fairchild appeared before the
senate finance committee to-day to pre-
sent his views on the bill which has
passed the house providing for the issue
Of fractional currency. The secretary
strongly opposed the bill. He asserted
that previous issues Of fractional currency
had cost as much in expense of production
and loss from destruction as much as the
entire face value Of the average c~ircuIa-
ton maintained. He did not believe that
public convenience required a reissue, nor
that it would be popular. the fractional
silver and postal note system met all the
purposes which fractional notes could
serve except by a very large issue extend
ing to the most remote parts of the coun.
try, and requiring years in its preparation.
The cost and great loss incident to such
issue and Its manifest disadvantages
which had led to its abandonment were,
to his mind, conclusive reasons against
a renewal of such circulation.

Gould's Tricks.

New YORK, April PA committee
of the security holders of the Missouri &
Texas road have drawn up a lengthy an
swer to Jay Gould's letter. Stress is laid
upon the sharp decline in Missouri,
Kansas Il Texas securities, while no cor
responding decline occurred in Missouri
Pacific bonds, and the inference is drawn
that Gould has not managed the affairs of
the former as well as those of the latter
road. While the expenditure of 81, OO0,-
900 for steel rails laid referred to by
Gould should have reduced the cost of
maintenance and operation, it increased
from SO per cent in 1880 to 70 per cent in
1887.
The most important feature of the doc
ument is the assertion that the Missouri
Pacific owed the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas over 81 900, 900 in December, 1886,
and since then this has been absorbed
and a debt OF 100000 created, which
Gould claims is owed to to the Missouri
Pacific.
The committee profess themselves at a
loss to understand the rude statement
that the Missouri Pacific made the ad
vances necessary to meet current ex.
penses, when the official statements of the
Missouri Pacific show that in recent years
it had been constantly in debt to the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas. The committee
refute the statement of Gould that the
failure of the corn crop caused a shrink
age in the earnings, and are at a loss to
understand why, under all these condi,
tons, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
should fall heavily into debt, while the
Missouri Pacific merely reduced its divl-
dend from I to 6 per cent.

BERLIN, April 24.-Queen Victoria
arrived at Charlottenburg at 9 o'clock
this morning. The empress, crown prince
and crown princess OF SAKE Mciningen

and his sisters, the -Princesses Victoria.
Sophie and Margaret, SiI Edward Malet,
British ambassador at Berlin, the duke of
Rutland, and the burgomaster and mu-
nicipal council of Berlin were also pres
eat. The greetings between Queen Vic
torIa and the royal family OF Germany
were warm. The crown prince conducted
the queen to an oDen carriage drawn by
four horses, which she entered, and with
the empress beside her was driven to the
castle. Crowds of people lined the route
and cheered enthusiastically as the car
riage passed.
The queen paid a visit to the emperor
shortly after her ARRIVAL at the castle. TT g
doctors feared that the meeting would
excite the emperor and probably upset
him, but their fears were groundless. The
emperor seemed rather brighter after the
interview and his temperature was nor
NAL.
The emperor rose to receive the queen
and cordially welcomed her. He after
wards withdrew to his own apartments.
The North German Gazette referring
to the visit OF the queen OF England, says:
Her majesty will be welcomed by the
whole population of Germany, and above
all by the inhabitants of Berlin, with
Veneratlon and sympathy, 50 justly due
one who has Tor many years ruled a
friendly state, and who is the mother of
our empress. All German hearts will
thankfully accept as a token the queens

Got Well

MONTICELLO, ILL.,, April 24.-George
Anderson, one OF the Chicago burglars
confined in the Plate county jail, made his
escape this morning before daylight. He
had been very sick with pneumonia, and
the doctors almost gave him up. George
Bowman was sitting up with him giving
medicine. Bowman went to an adjoining
cell where there was a stove to warm him
self, and fell asleep. Anderson then saw
his opportunity. He got up and put on
his clothes, unlocked the doors, stole the
sheriff's watch, which had been loaned to
give medicine by, and escaped. The

week; and was awaiting the action of the
grand Jury at the September term. He
