ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
COLUMBUS, March 1.-The feature of the
Church divorce case to-day was Rev. Father
Els, pastor of Sacred Heart, who was called
as witness. 1t was thought that he would
deny the testimony OF the cook, Teresa
Schirzinger, who, it is alleged, made con-
fession and statement of guilt with Colonel
Church to him. His evidence, however,
corroborated hers on all substantial features,
and there is great indignation over the man
ner in which her name has been used in
court. Father Els gave long sketch of
his own life, and then proceeded with the
testimony on the important points at issue.
He said:
saw Mr.. John Joyce at my room on Thurs
day afternoon, December 20. On Friday after
noon sent my nephew to the residence of Mr..
church to call Teresa to my house. told him
to tell her 1t was important and matter Tor
her own good, and if she did not come by Sun
day evening l would send for her mother.
Teresa came to my house Friday afternoon.
She was admitted by a lady. No one else saw

her. L said to her had a hundred reasons to
send for person before l sit in Judgment over

about the matter.

was necessary. She did not then deny it. told
her that if she signed statement her good
name should be shielded. 1 then wrote the
statement already published and she signed it

Immediately, and go to her own home.
told her if Mr.. Church asked her
what was the matter, to tell him that had
treated with her on private affairs of her fam
lily and herself. l told her to tell her mother
that Mr.. and Mrs. Church had a disagreement
and broke up housekeeping, and she had gone
home, and that the house was no more decent
place for a girl to remain. told her not to tell
Mr. Church, or anybody else, she had signed
the paper, for then her good name would be
surely ruined. l made no threat against her
mother; on the contrary 1 said that her father
and mother were decent people, and 1 liked
them well.
The cross-examination was pretty severe
and was somewhat favorable to the girl
Teresa. Several other witnesses were ex-
amined, but nothing new developed. The
case will close tomorrow noon.

Gladstone would go in overwhelmingly. Party
influence there is very different thing from
party influence in this country. Here, a man,
closely identified with his party than there. He
has friends who are in Office, or who want
office, and SO he feels that the defeat of his
party is defeat for himself. In England
change of Government implies no widespread
change in official life The fall of Govern
ment means that only IL men in England and
in Ireland go out. Then the average English
man is pretty fair in his intentions. Ignorance
of the fact with the accompanying prejudice,
may make him slow to move; but, as say, he
is fair minded, and once convinced that any
course is right he goes in to do it. l don't

HUNTING FOR THEIR FUNDS.
A NIidnight Search for the Doodle of Ives
and Stayner.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPArcH.i
NEW YORK, March 1--we don't indict
Ives and Stayner every day." said Mr..
Frank r. Lawrence, the general counsel
for the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
Railroad to-day, "and to-day was one
of the off days." One reason
for this perhaps, was the fact that the FEB
ruaryi Grand Jury was dismissed, and the
March Grand Jury does not assemble until
Monday. The March Grand jury
will undoubtedly have further
grist of the doings of the pair to get through
with. The appropriation of 81, ,25O, 900 of
the Dayton and Chicago bonds has not been
disposed Of.
Just now, it is said, that Mr.. Lawrence
and Inspector Byrnes are on hunt for the
swag. AT any rate, Mr.. Lawrence
has been staying up of nights.
and says he believes Ives and
Stayner have got the money slowed away
somewhere, and night before last Inspector
Byrnes, Woodruff, tine ex-Treasurer of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, and two
unknown men left police headquarters at
late hour and did not return until A. NJ.
Woodruff's statement to Assistant District
Attorney Parker is said to have been COM
pleted to-day.
Inspector Byrnes refused to disclose
the object of the midnight expedi-
tions or their. directions. Asked if Albert
Meters relations with Ives and Stayner
were being looked into, Mr.. Lawrence said
to-day: We may have something to say

NOT QUITE READY YET.
A Commercial Union Debate in the Canadian
Parliament.

4
OTTAWA, ONT, March LIN the House
of Commons to-day discussion was resumed
upon Mr.. Laurier's resolution in favor of
direct negotiation by Canada with the
United States looking to the settle
ment of the fisheries question on
the basis of extended trade relations. Mr..
Macdonald, of Huron, supported the reso-
luton in vigorous speech. Hon. A. C.
Jones followed in the same view,
He claimed that the recent cleo
tions won by the Liberals had been
carried on the programme in favor of closer
trade relations with the United States. He
dwelt on the immense market that would be
open to the Canadian fisheries un-
der reciprocity. The United States,
he said, is Canada's best customer.
Hon. Peter Mitchell attacked the fishery
policy and the commercial policy of the
Government. He was no Commercial Un-
ionist, although he had pledged
himself in favor of closer trade
relations with the United States
After arraigning the Salisbury government
for its interference in North American af-
fairs, Mr.. Mitchell went on to show that
the policy of protection is preventing Canada
from enjoying prosperity. In conclusion, he
advised moderation toward the United
States, particularly in regard to the fishery
question. Sir Richard Cartwright replied.
The resolution was defeated by 43 majority,
the vote standing, yeas 65, nays 108.

Tucked In for the Nighf.
General and Mrs. Harrison returned from
Colonel Hays at 1870 o'clock General
Tracy was waiting In the parlor and Gen
eral Harrison at once went into conference
with him. They were eloseted for
halt an hour, and then General Tracy went
away looking weighted down with response
bility, and General Harrison sent down
word that he would see no one else and waz
going to bed.
Secretary Halford, who with Russell Har-
rison and Mr.. Mckee, had kept open house
in the Office down stairs all the
evening, stayed about a little later
to chat with Murat Halstead, W.
j. Arkell, and other newspaper men
who dropped in, but soon as possible after
ward he also shut up shop, pulled out the
humble bed-lounge in the back room,
which is his couch during these ex-
citing times, and sought the kind Of
repose that private secretary might be ex-
pected to get two nights before Inauguration,
with the Cabinet still unsettled.
As soon as Mr.. Halford's light went out
Doorkeeper Dinsmore and his assistant
closed and locked the door separating the
johnson annex from the rest of the house,
and also went off to get some rest.

THE PRETTY LADY.
Mrs. Russell Harrison to Bear That Title
for the New Administration
Mrs. Ben Needs a Good
City Dressmaker.

City Dressmaker.
The DISPATCH omitted from its yester-
days account of the true characters of the
new inmates of the White House all refer
ence to the sweetest and prettiest of the lady
members. She is Mrs. Russell Harrison.
She was Miss Saunders, daughter of the
then Senator from Nebraska. She is taller
than most women, and must measure 4
inches above feet. She has loveliness in
both her face and her figure. She is a blonde
of the purely golden type, with that rich
complexion that golden blondes so often
possess. She is vivacious and amiable, and
is likely to be the most talked of of all the
new State family. She and Russell Har-
rison have been away, while the McKees
have always lived with the General, so that
this prettiest of them all has not had award
ed to her the place in the public mind that
she is certain to soon occupy.
The ladies who read The DISPATCH this
morning, paused when they came to the as
sertion that Mrs. Benjamin Harrison has
not got the most finished taste in dress.
They say that this is not killing matter.
after all. Nobody knows better than the
people of Washington how easily this miss
ing quality can be supplied. Country folks
who know nothing at all about style, are
continually coming to Washington dressed
in the most outlandish cuts and colors, but
they soon learn to put themselves in the
hands of dressmakers and appear in society
as presentable as the rest. A no less nota-
Bile Washingtonian than Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett was, at one time, charged
with being unhappy in her choice of cos
tunes, but to-day she employs skillful
Washington dressmaker, and is now adver-
tised as getting all her beautiful gowns
from Worth.

LINING FOR WASTEBASKETS.


dissatisfied Oniceseekers Send Photos
That Never Reach the General.
A great many odd things are noticed
about the Private Secretary's quarters by
those who call there often. One of them is
the fact that photos seem to form regular
proportion of the contents of the waste
baskets. The explanation of this is that
many applicants for office seek to help
their cause by inclosing with their letter
photograph of themselves.
These pictures are invariably thrown d.
rectly into the waste basket, and are scarcely
glanced at by the persons who open the
correspondence, let alone ever getting to
the sight of the President-elect. Pictures
of children and of wives are sometimes sent
in the same way and to meet the same fate.

CALLERS ON THE BABIES.
Pretty Little Maidens Come to See the Pets
of the New Administration.


of the New Administration.
The babies have been receiving new sort
of visitor to-day. Several times little chill
dren who have read about them have asked
to see them, and they have been allowed to
do so. Two particularly pretty little maid
ems, the elder not over or years of age,
shook hands bashfully with Mrs. Mckee
this afternoon, and,when she smiled pleas
antly at them theyfshyly asked: "Are you
the one that has the babies?' Mrs. Mckee,
acknowledging her motherhood with another
smile, the two little callers were encouraged
to ask: 'Please may we see them?" They
were told to go right upstairs and knock at
the first door to the left, and they trotted of,
hand in hand, and very happy.
Many questions have been asked about
the name of Russell Harrison's child, and
very few have been able to understand it
when told. Marthena is the name, and it is
historical, beside. Benjamin Harrison
Mckee cannot hold candle to his little
cousin when it comes to ancientness of
name. The name of Marthena is sort of
heirloom in the family of Mrs. Russell
Harrison's mother, and it came to this
country originally, Russell says, in the
time of Christopher Columbus. 1t is
Spanish name, and is borne last before the
present little girl by Mrs. Saunders, the
baby's grandmother.

PIGOTT LIED,
Says Lnbouchere and Other Prominent Men
Who Testified Before the Parnen
COmmission-The Despairing
rBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH

Times Conspirntors.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.j
LONDON, March IL Copyright. ]-At the
meeting of the Parnell Commission to-day
defeat, humiliation and despair were again
plainly written upon the countenances OF
the Times conspirators. There was no fight
left in them. Attorney General Webster
was nervous and had lost all his bluster. Sir
Henry James still looked i'll and wretched,
and neither he nor his colleague attempted
any thing but few of the mildest questions
in cross-exsmination.
O'Kelly, Campbell, Mccarthy and Dayitt
Mr.. Labouchere gave the lie direct to
Pigott's references to himself, and then
poor Soames, bilious and shaking, related
the incidents of his dealings with Pigott,
showing that he had made no inquiries and
had acted about as idiotically as the mana
ger of the Times himself.
George Lewis, the leading criminal
lawyer, was on the very best of terms with
himself as he told how Pigott had come to
him and admitted the forgeries. 1t was with
a smile of pride that he told the Judges he
always knew that Pigott was forger.
Pigott was far away basking, we were
given to understand, in SUMMER cline, but
it was necessary to give further formal proof
of his tremendous turpitude, and so rep
utable citizens and mild-mannered gentle
men, Michael Davitt and Justin Mccarthy
among them, had to go into the witness box
and solemnly swear that they were not
inciters to ooutrages and accessories to murder.
This done, Solicitor Lewis, the famous
Labouchere and the celebrated Sala, one
after another, repeated the now well-known
story of their meetings and talkings with
Pigott. Then followed a weak attempt on
the part of the Times to prove that they
traded with Pigott in good faith, and with
every confidence in his probity, and very
brief cross-examination of Solicitor Soames
showed that he and his associates had neg
lected the most elementary precautions
against being deceived.
The whole of the afternoon was spent in
an argument as to the admissibility of the
files of the Irish World as evidence, the
Times arguing in effect that as the Land
League leaders accepted money subscribed
through Patrick Ford's organ, and helped
to circulate it in Ireland, they and the Ma
tional League must be held to have in
dorsed its language, however violent and
stupid. The court took time to consider the
matter, but judging from the tone of some of
President Hannen's remarks, the decision
will go against the Irish members.

The ladies Of the Harrison family had
even buster day than yesterday, although
considerable effort was made to spare Mrs.
Harrison from the fatiguing that she ex
perienced the day before. The ladies were
not at home except to personal friends all
the morning, but others who called wers
informed that there would be general re-
ception between 2:3O and o'clock in the
afternoon.
Mrs. Mckee spent most Of the morning
with her children, after they came, back.
from little excursion, in charge Of the
nurses, about the park near the hotel. After
noon she went out to lunch with Miss
Gouverneur, an old friend of the family.
ALI the rest of the family were at lunch,
and the meal was scarcely over when the
time set for the beginning of the public re-
ception arrived. The public were on hand
long before the time, and for the first hour
or so the parlor was continually crowded
and the stairways at times blockaded by the
stream of callers, mostly ladies. Toward
the end the number lessened, and the ladies
had leisure to chat with personal friends
folks had left. There were many who
called, however, even after O'Clock, and
they were received by the younger ladies'.
Mrs. Harrison refused herself to everybody
after that hour, pleading that she had to
prepare for drive.
The receiving party during the afternoon
consisted Of Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Russell
Harrison, Mrs. Mckee, Mrs Lord and Mrs.
Saunders. Mrs. Harrison wore the same
brown cloth costume that she wore yester..
day, but Mrs. Russell Harrison had on q
beautiful costume of salmon cashmere,
trimmed with silk OF the same color and
with apple green ribbon sash. 1t became
her statuesque figure well, and she was one
of the brightest objects in the room. Mrs.
Mckee, also, had donned new gown for
the occasion. 1t was of very dark velvet,
with vest of Valenciennes lace, and waa
as rich as the costume of Mrs. Russell Har-
-ison was striking.
Thecallers included beside several hundred
ladies, large number of welLknown men,
among them Justices Harlan and Miller;
Hannibal Hamlin and Colonel Fred Grant. :
Mrs. Grant accompanied the latter.
Mrs. Harrison's ride was with Mrs. John
Sherman and another lady, and was long
one. Her sister, Mrs. Lord, also accom-
panied her. 1t was nearly 6 o'clock when
she returned to the hotel. s -

-Four Generations of the Presidents RelR-
tions Seen in a Group.
When tie Rev. DIR. John W. Scott called
upon his son-in-law, Benjamin Harrison,
the other day, there were four generations
of this remarkable family together-grand-
father, father, children and grandchildren.
The old ex-dominie is SO years old. He was
at the head of Miami University when Ben
jamin Harrison went away from that school
of learning with diploma and the profess
sor's daughter.
That was about all Benjamin had in
the world. He came to be a Senator
and got his old father-in-law place in the
Pension Office, where nobody paid any az
tention to him until after the late election,
when the clerks got together and gave him
an elegant walking stick.

THREE YEARS In THE PEN.
He Was Respected and Popular, But Lived
Beyond His Means.

PHILADELPHIA, March John Ruhl to-
day pleaded guilty to six bills of indictment
charging him with larceny and embezzlement
of sums ranging from 5000 to 81, 900, and was
sentenced to three years Imprisonment.
He was member of City Councils
for several years, and always en-
joyed the confidence of the resi-
dents of the northeastern section
of the city, where he resided. In his busi-
ness as conveyancer and real estate agent
he handled large amounts in cash, mort
cages, etc., belonging to clients.
He spent money literally among his
friends, and through living beyond his
means, became indebted to a number of
persons, who, unable to get their money,
entered suits against him. Ruhl
then disappeared from the city, but
after remaining away for some time, re-
turned. and making restitution to his credi-
tors as far as he was able, he threw himself
upon the mercy of the Court, with the re-
suit to-day as stated, of a sentence to three
years Imprisonment.

Effort in the Commons.
LONDON, March 2.-The Telegraph says
the speech of Mr.. Gladstone is historical:
He was seen on the war path at his best. His
attack on the Liberal Unionists was made
with tremendous force of invective and the
sarcasm of a great master. During the
speech Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain smiled ner-
vously, and glanced curiously at Mr.. Glad
stone, and the House frequently burst
into roars of laughter
The peroration was spoken in the charac-
ter of a prophet telling Of wrath to
come with a resonant voice and
flashing eyes and the aged states
man seemed like another Isaiah
crying "Woe to the high places of Jerusa-
lem. His last words were "Signs of the
coming doom" He finished his speech midst
a tempest of cheers.
