PHILADELPHIA, Jan. PA short time ago
Anthony Comstock. as chief special agent of the
New York Society for the Suppression of Vice,
came to this city and purchased from five differ
emit dealers in works of art, number of pic
lures which were alleged to be obscene. Mr.
Comstock entered complaint against the dealers,
and they were indicted by the grand jury. The
trial of all the cases was taken up to-day, and
after hearing considerable evidence on both
sides. in four of the cases Assistant District At
torney Ker declined to proceed further. saying he
did not believe the pictures obscene. The Judge
said it was not very easy to define actually what
the terms lewd and obscene meant. Nude pic
lures were not necessarily lewd or indecent If
that were So 1t would include everything, and
it would include pictures of the most sacred
kind. Where there was an intention to
rupt the public by the sale of indecent lewd
pictures there ought to be severe punishment.
but he did not think this a case of that kind.
The visit of Mr.. Comstock to this city for the
purpose of prosecuting dealers in art supplies
was criticised by his Honor. The bills of in
dictment in all the cases were submitted to the
jury and the defendants acquitted.

Mfscellaneous Notes

The Railroad Gazette reports a total OF 182
railroad accidents in December 1887, in which
IL persons were killed aud 2I1 wounded There
were, during the month. 90 train collisions.
1t is stated that President Blood of the Cleve-
land & Canton road has sold the new issue OF
bonds, and the road will at once be converted
into standard guage road and will be properly

The opinion gains ground that the war on
rates between Chicago and Kansas City viii not
be settled until the policy of the Atchison, To-
peka d Santa Fe, in opening its new line be-
tween those two points, is better understood.
The advance for transportation of live cattle
In freight rates from the West to the seaboard
and thence to foreign markets amounts to 81. 20
per head, as compared with the rates OF sixty
days ago. This. coupled with the lower values
abroad, is causing serious loss to shippers.

The Omaha roads are now becoming uneasy,
and threaten to meet the reductions in rates

PITTsBURe, Jan. 24.-The PERCENTAGE system,
which has been point in dispute between the
Western railroads and the Central Traffic AS

Cutting Rates on Dressed Beef.

CHICAGO. Jan. 24-Something of stir was
created in railroad circles, to-day, by the an
nouneement that rates on dressed beef from
Kansas City to the seaboard had been cut
cents by the st. Paul road, in connection with
certain Eastern lines. The tariff dressed
beef from Kansas City to the seaboard is SO
cents, but shippers were given rate
of 46 cents over the St Paul. The
cut was promptly met by the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Chicago, Burlington 81
Quincy. II is probable that all the other lines
out of Kansas City will meet the new rates with
out unnecessary delay General Manager Miller,
Of the st. Paul road, admitted that the reduc-
ton had been made, but said the cut was made
by the Eastern connections of the St Paul road.
1t is believed that the Alton, which has on all
occasions taken advantage of every opportunity
to reduce rates. will force the fight and that
much lower rates will yet be made, not Only
from Kansas CITY but from all Missouri-river

to-day, Chairman Jones. of the Ma
tionsl Republican executive committee,
said so far as Blaine's health was con-
cerned, he was as we'll as he ordinarily
is. He said: "Blsine has not decided
to be a candidate; he has not asked his
friends to make an aggressive move
ment in his behalf. he has not written
any letters declining a nomination the
second time, and it is not true that he
will be on the ocean and out of reach of
the telegraph when the Chicago con-
vention Is in session. Blaine said he
desired to remain abroad two years. but
feared he would not be able to do so. l
would not be surprised to hear that he
was coming home next month, or that
he would stay until next year. There
Is no denying the fact that ever since
his declination there has been grow
ing sentiment among Repu blicans that
Blaine should accept the leadership OF
the party in the next great battle. This
movement has great strength and will
be powerful if not the most powerful
element in the next convention. l do
not think that it is the intention OF
Blaine to come out squarely for any
candidate. He is only human, and may
of course say so and so is my friend
and would like to see him nominated,
and such an expression would have
great weight"

The Irish.

DUBLIN, May 5.-The Belfast Wing
states that Gladstone gave an audience
to three Parnellite members of Parlia-
merit on Thursday, Lord Roseberry was
also present. The subject discussed
was the proposal to draft an Irish local
government scheme as stepping stone
to home rule.
At the request of Catholic members
of Parliament the Lord Mayor of Dub
lin convened a meeting to-day for the
purpose of discussing the Pope's re-
script. Resolutions were adopted ira
versing the statements by which the
Pope justified the rescript and assuring
the Pope of unutterable attachment to
him in his spiritual capacity, but firmly
and respectfully, but emphatically re-
fusing to recognize his right to inter
fere in Irish politics. Meetings will be
held throughout West Glare tomorrow,

tie ground that the Pope is ignorant OF
the sufferings of the people of Clare.

The Meth odist Conference.

New YORK, May 5.-Interest in the
Methodist Episcopal conference in
creases daily. To-day there was a
larger audience present than on any
previous day. Bishop J. f. Hurst pre-
sided. The order of business was sus-
pended for the purpose of giving the
committee on rules an opportunity to
report. A number of amendments
we've made to the rules. They were IN
important, but created much discus
sion. Various committees were then
announced.
General Clinton B. Fiske then took
the floor to advocate the admission of
women. General Fiske contended that
there was nothing in the laws of the
church which says lay delegates shall
not be women. II would be revolution
arv to turn women out by the vote of
the general conference, and the church
could not afford to exclude them. Are
we so cowardly," asked General Fiske,
THAT we would refuse to admit woman
for fear she would fill the place OF
mani"
Rev. A. J. Kynett, secretary of the
Church Extension. Society, favored the
admission OF women, ana salu CDaI Dap
lists and Congregationalists admitted
them 10 their conferences.
Rev. D. b. Moore, of the Colorado
Conference, commended that women
should not be admitted. In closing,
DR.. Moore offered a substitute to the
previous substitutes. The substitute
provided that during the month of Octo'
Der, 1890, general election should be
held in each church, and that all
members be called upon to vote either
for or against the admission Of women
as lay delegates. Should majority OF
the church be in favor of the admission
of women as lay delegates, then the gen
eral conference in 1892 can complete the
change.
Rev. A. q. Pendleton moved the pre-
vious question,
Considerable excitement existed while
the vote was being taken. When the
announcement was made it was dis
covered that the motion was lost. The
vote stood 132 ayes, 1S7 nays. After
some discussion an adjournment was
had till Monday.

Gould Restrained .

NEW YORK, May 5.-The Times, this
morning, says Jay Gould and other Of
ticers of the Missouri Pacific and Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas railway COM
panies were served yesterday with an
order to show cause why they should
not be made to halt in their endeavors
to get absolute control of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern railway, and
sever it from its owner, the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas. The order was OBJ
tanned from Judge Barrett by counsel
for William Landon Bull and William
Martinsen, representing majority OF
the stockholders, who purpose to GUST
the Gould board at the annual election
on May 10th. Judge, Barrett also granted
temporary Injunction restraining
Gould and his associates from in any
wav .smonkeying" with the stock or
securities of the Missouri, Kansas q
Texas, or the International & Great
Northern, or in any way changing the
status of either company until after the
annual election; and they are ordered
to show cause In addition why the acts
in relation thereto that they have re-
Gently done should not be declared void
for illegaIity. II was only last Tuesday
or Wednesday that Messrs. Bull AND
Martinsen learned that Gould and
associates had, by clever manipulation
secured control of about all the stock
and bonds of the international & Grea
Northern without the payment of s
cent. in money, and that the directors
of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas haC
hu-riedly agreed to cancel the lease O.
the international to their road. They
at once took measures to Illustrate thu
scheme with the result mentioned.
