WASHINGTON LETTER.

WARRINGTON. Oct. 10, 1888.

wAsHrSoroS, Oct. 10. 1888.
Senator Coke, in opposing the bill
just passed by the Senate, to pay the
widow Of Chief Justice Waite $S,745,
said that he believed 10 equality be-
fore the law Of all the people Of the
United States; that one good respec-
table widow was exactly the same
before the law as another. There
we're hundreds OF thousands OF good
widows in the United States, who
were as much entitled, in law, in
equity and Of right; to donation
from Congress as the estimable lady
for whose relief the bill was pending.
Senator Berry in opposing the bill,
argued that every dollar due to the
late Chief Justice had been paid to
himself or his widow, and that the
sum proposed to be paid was simply
a donation or gift. II the Chief
Justice had not been able to save
money out Of his salary OF $10,500
q year, he must have lived in very
extravagant way.
Judge Thurman, who was here this
week to argue the Government sids
of the Telephone cases before the
Supreme Court, was the recipient OF
much attention; he was the guest OF
Mr.. Cleveland, at Oak View for two
days, and was compelled to hold o
levee everywhere he went.
The republican members OF Sena-
tor Hale's smelling committee, which
has been nosing around for some
months trying to find some violations
of the Civil Service law, have made
their report. It concists Of rehash
of lot Of exploded newspaper
charges. The democratic members
of the committee have not yet sub
mitted their report
The House, in response to a recon-
mendation frem Acting Secretary
Thompson Of the Treasury, has pas
sed bill appropriating $4,000 to
carry out the provisions OF the Chin
ese exclusion bill.
Representative Burns, speaking on
the General deficiency bill, which
has at last become law, stated
rock ribbed truth when he said that
the people had turned the republican
party out Of power, not on account
Of extravaganza in appropriations,
but because Of the waste and want OF
integrity in the expenditure OF the
money.
The House has passed the Senate
bill appropriating $4,000 to COM
pensate the Cherokee freedmen Tor
lands taken from them several years
ago.
The bill changing the law as to the
date when electoral votes must be de-
livered at the capital, to the fourth
Monday in January, has been passed
by both Houses, and is now in the
hands of the President.
Chief Justice Fuller, who for the
first time presided over the Supreme
Court this week, has made a very
good impression.
Ex-Secretary Mccullough. who had
charge Of the Treasury Department
under Lincoln, johnson and Arthur,
has come out for Cleveland. He cam
not stand tho position Of the repub-
lican party on the tariff.

BoiIs and CarbunCles,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after a comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. @. X. Murray, Of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was al
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, Of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use OF
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, Is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one OF
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations Of o scrofulous faint In the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need OF
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla fair
trial, - avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

PAREERsDuRG, Dec. 9.-Mr. George
Campbell, of Boston, but more recently
of Pennsylvania, has leased the new
Chancellor -Kaltnecker hotel building in
this city and will open it up as soon IS
it is finished-some time early in the
spring. He will probably call it "The
Argyle" This is the most elegant hotel
building in West Virginia, not even ex-
cepting the Hotel Rutlner at Charleston.
1t is five stories, OF stone and pressed
brick and is u remarkably handsome
building.
The telephone line extending from
this city TO Cresson, Writ county, is
being built OH to Grantsville, Calhoun
county, and from there it will connect
with Glenvtlle, Gilmer county, thus
giving Parkershurg ample communica-
ton with those counties.
Messrs. Hebrank & Rapp, the brewers,
have purchased large building site in
the East End and will put up big
brewery there in the early spring.
Dan Cunningham, the Eureka detec-
tive, indicted for completely in the muir
der Of Rev. Mr.. Ryan in Roane county,
and who narrowly escaped poisoning a
few days ago, has secured change oi
venue to Jackson county.

7HE ANARCHISTS QUIET.
The Expected Sunday Demon
stration Did Not Occur.
A LARGE FORCE OF OFFICERS
OF the Law on Hand to Prevent nm
Assemblage, and the Reds Did
Not Venture out-A Meeting
Under Police Surveillance.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-The streets around
the Haylnarket were thronged with peo-
pie all thisafternoon expecting some sort
OF anarchistic demonstration. More po-
licemen than are usually detailed on the
streets were on duty and did not allow
crowds to congregate about the corners
or saloons. There were no more people
than usual on the street and adjoining
quarters on Milwaukee avenue or ip the
saloons frequented By anarchists on
Blue Island avenue and on Twelfth
street. Until 3 o'clock the entire force
OF policemen was on reserve. All the
west side stations were filled with Off
GERS up to that hour, but absolutely no
trouble was encountered.
1t was expected that the anarchists
would hold q meeting at the ball, S00
Blue Island avenue. A number OF
officers in citizens clothes were detailed
to watch the place, but passed the whole
day in idleness, for no meeting was held
and not us many people patrOnized the
saloous as do on most pleasant Sundays.
At no time were there more than fifty
Geraans in the saloon, and these all the
time seated about the tables quietly
drinking their beer. Captain O'Don-
nell was asked whether he expected any
sort OF demonstration on the part OF
the socialists or anarchists in the dis
trict. "Not bit OF it. lfthe anarchists
in my district are left to themselves they
will soon get sick OF holding meetings.
There was no meeting held in the DIS
trict to my knowledge. l think that
the fact thatit was generally understood
that the police desired no meetings held
caused them to give up the gathering
they had planned for the day."
LArER-Up to this hour 40 p. n.y.
there have been no reports OF any
trouble growing out OF proposed Anar-
Chist meetings. Police arrangements
begun last night was completed by noon
to-day and SO perfect were all details
that II would have been small matter
to have massed 400 men to any point at
which any disturbance might take place.
There was but one meeting held and it
was practically under the auspices Of the
police. Captain Hathaway, in charge OF
% men, was present. All proceedings
were in German and they consisted in
the adoption Of series OF resolutions,
the gist OF which were emphatic in
denoIncing the capitalistic press, for
agitating the question OF Anarchy.

THEIR EFFORTS IN VAIN.
Democratic Tamperiug With
Ballot Boxes in Kanawha
FAILED OF ITS MAIN OBJECT.
Which Was to Defeat McGinnis,
The County Court CertiGcs the
True Returns, and Fudd
Goes TO Washington.

DipttttAt DtPAASat W "t ANttb'bt"NSs
CHARLESTON, W. VA, Dec. 9.-Tht
Democrats in this county tampered with
the ballot boxes in vain. The decision
Of the Kanawha County Court yesterday
gives McGinnis majority OF 20 in the
district and makes GoH 3 majority in tht
State about $50. What will be the nexl
move OF the Democrats cannot be stated
They are defeated, and it remains to be
seen whether they will admit the fact oil
strive TO inject electricity into the corpse
TO produce a few more kicks before the
final dissolution.
The County Court adjourned till Tues
day to give the counsel for the Democrats
time to complete their bills OF exception
The time OF the County Court was
largely occupied yesterday in the CON
tentions of counsel over the admission
or rejection OF the returns from certain
precincts. These matters having been
disposed OF, the Court was stated that it
was ready to announce the result Of the
recount, as follows: The Court rejected
the recount in Charleston, st. Albans
and Alum Creek precincts, and decided
to abide by the results Us certified by
the Commissioners OF Election.
1t will be reCollected that in Charles
ton and Alum Greek precincts it was
proved that the packages containing the
ballots had been tampered with. In
Alum Greek that the package had been
torn open and the ballots so changed
that there was difference OF thirty
votes on Prosecuting Attorney, and nine
votes on Congress between the original
return and the recount, and all in favor
OF the Democrats. In Charleston it was
proved that the bottom Of the box con-
taining the ballots had been pried open
and groove torn off, and then nailed
back with nails different from those
originally used.
In st. Albans the number OF ballots
returned to the court was three short
OF the names on the poll-books. The
court rejected the returns from Lewis
ton and Coalburg, and refused to count
them. 1t was proved that the Commis'
sioners were not all sworn at these pre-
cincts. TIE law is explicit, that il all
are not sworn the Commissioners shall
not count the returns. In the other
precincts the Commissioners took the
recount in asCertaining the result.
In the Court OF Appeals the rule re:
turnable was called up, and counsel
stated that the bills OF exception that arc
being taken by the Democrats to the
rulings of the County Court had been
completed. By agreement of counsel
the rule was enlarged to Friday, Decem-
ber j., and the Court adjourned to that

An Insane Prisoner Horribly Killed at the
Ohio PenitentInry.
CoLUMBus, O., Dec. ga horrible
death occurred at the Ohio Penitentiary
yesterday. The victim was Clark Ours,
young prisoner from Meigs county,
whose time would have expired next
week. He was in one year. There are
strong indications that Ours had been
temporarily insane for some days. He
feared that his good time would be
taken from him, and had threatened
suicide. Yesterday he left his room in
bolt shop where be worked, and went
onto the roofthrough skylight. When
found he could not be coaxed down.
An offiCinI who did not understand
his condition ordered the hose turned
on him. The slate roof became slippery,
and the shock OF the cold water caused
him to lose his hold, and he slipped
off the building, falling four stories.
He struck 90 his head and the skull
was crushed to atoms. The Coroner is
making searching investigation. 1t is
understood that arrest and prosecution
will follow.

The feeling Of
HORROR, INDIoNAr1oY AND RAGE

1ue leeIIuB ol
HORROR, INDIGNATION AND RAGE
increased with each moment, until II
threatened to become frenzy. Fierce
threats Of vengeance were heard coming
from lips whose utterances the people
Of Birmingham have long since learned
to know mean what they say, and strong
men almost cried in the intensity Of
their excitement.
The frenzy Of the people increased un-
Ill the attack was made upon the guards
at the jail with the horrible result de-
tailed above.
Sheriff Smith, in an interview, said he
deeply regretted the occurrences OF last
night, but felt that he simply done his
duty in uphoiding the majesty Of the
law.
Mayor Thompson, who was only in
Quoted into Office last Wednesday, Issued
proclamation this morning expressing
sympathy for the families OF the victims
Of last nights tragedy and deeply regret
ting the occurrence, but iavoring the
maintenance OF law and order, and APP
pealing to all who love peace and good
order to refrain from public assemblage.
THE MILITIA ON DUTY.
To-day and tonight the city is mil
itary encampment. Civil authorities
haze practically stepped down and out,
and Col. Jones, OF Montgomery, with
thirteen military companies, is absolute
Iy in charge Of affairs. The Jail is guard
ed by State troops with picked lines ex-
tended in several squares in every direc-
ton, and at each approach there iro%ns
the countenance OF gatling gun.
Mounted scouts are sent out OF the city,
and at. regular intervals acquaint Col.
Jones with the condition OF the public
mind and prospects OF armed rising by
the people. Fire bells sound military
alarms and soldiers in uniforms and
armed with Winchester rifles have
cleared the principal streets aud driven
back the thousands who have all day
been looking toward the jail.
The streets have been living, mad.
dened mass, and very little oratorical
pyrotechnics could readily organize a
mob.
All along the walls of the city are
posted petitions of various kinds
signed by thousands OF people.
One OF these recites ut length
the fact that Sheriff Smith had
butchered in cold blood some OF the
best citizens Of Birmingham, and asked
Governor Seay to Immediately relieve
him OF his duties as Sheriff.
Great excitement was caused by the
funeral cortege through principal high
way OF one OF the victims OF last nights
airray.
During the afternoon the rumor be-
came widespread that 1900 miners from
the Pratt mines, about five miles from
birmingham, would after dark march
to tho city armed with guns, pistols and
dynamite cartridges.
There are already ten military COM
panies, under command OF Col. Jones,
and the five others will arrive on spe-
cial trains by midnight.

Congressman Martin Assaults the Reporter
who Started Funny Story About Him.

Congressman Martin Assaults the Reporter
who Started n Funny Story About Him.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-About year
ago George Harries, then reporter on
the Post, wrote an article which obtained
wide circulation, setting forth that Rep
resentative Martin, OF Texas, blew out
the gas in his room at Willard's Hotel.
Yesterday afternoon the Congressman
met Mr.. Harries in the corridor Of tho
Capitol aud assaulted him, striking him
on the ear. Harries, in consideration Of
the Congressman age, made no eiIert to
retaliate. Mr.. Harries, who is one OF
the most popular journalists here, is now
on the Eveaing Star. He ssys he will
have the Congressman arrested for the
assault.
