AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
Report OF the Secretary Upon
Financial Matters.


Report of the Secretary Upon
Financial Matters.
Following is the financial statement OF
the late Agricultural Fair, as shown by
the report of the Secretary. The state
ment shows the pavilion and park &C.
counts separate, exhibiting the standing
of both. The showing is good as TO the
park, but rather disastrous as to the pa
vilion. There it was that the association
did its best work, but met with large
deficiency. This was overcome by the
receipts at the park and handsome sur.
plus realized. The association commenced
the season, however, something over
1000 in debt, but by careful manage.
ment has worked out. The unprecedented
rains which commenced two days before
the fair, necessitating a postponement
for one week, undoubtedly made a con-
siderable difference in the receipts:

The Last of the Minnie Madden
Rnngnn.

The Last of the Minnie Maddern
Season.
Last night Miss Minnie Madden and
her company, which, by the way, is all
excellent, closed a season of week at
the Grand. The number is very small
of companies in this city which have
given such general satisfaction, and this
remark applies primarily to the star, and
generally to the support, emphatically to
both. Miss Madden indeed holds the
mirror up to nature, and the glass has no
flaws in it and produces no distortion Of
any feature. May she soon come this
way again.

THE WEST ENDERS.

Park and Gas Matters Discussed AZ
the Last Meeting.
The West End Board of Trade met
Wednesday evening at it's rooms on
Temple street, and at the usual time was
called to order by President Register.
Abouty thirty-five of the members were
present.
Colonel G. E. Daley, Chairman of the
Committee on Parks, reported the
rejection of Marion Park by the Park
Commissioners, and that they would do
nate one dollar for every dollar raised by
those interested, for the purpose of open
ing driveway to Elysian Park also
that the matter of changing reservoir No.
into park was agitated.
Upon motion of D. @. Morrison the
report was accepted in part and
the committee continued with the
additional instructions to investi-
gate the disbursement of the
park funds of the city and how much
the West End was entitled to. The fol-
lowing persons were added to the COM
mittee: E Edgar Gslbreth, g. E Hall,
III. G. Register, P. B. Ward and Charles
Stilson.
A. M. Ellsworth, the Chairman of the
Gas and Light Committee, reported that
considerable money had been subscribed
on the proposition gu omitted by the Lowe
Gas Company. The report was accepted
in part, and at the request of the Chair
man of the committee, E. Edgar Gal
broth and julius Lyons were added to
the regular committee.
A representative of the Citizens Gas
Company was present and stated that
| the company would extend its mains on
all the streets in the West End that would
justify them, and that all they wanted
was that the people of that vicinity agree
to consume their gas.
He asked that definite action in the
matter be postponed until the next meet
ing of the board, at which time he would
inform them as to the time the pipes
would be laid.
Colonel O. E. Daley reported that
there WAS no provision in the Temple.
street cable road charter for carrying
school children at half rates.
Upon motion of j. Mills Davies il was
resolved as the sense of the meeting that
steps should be taken for paving Temple
street from Spring street to Bunker Hill
avenue, and for placing that portion Of
Temple street west OF Bunker Hill avenue
in good condition for public travel.
The following persons were appointed
as committee to investigate and report
on the matter of grading First street to
the city limits, viz: @. M. Wells, George
Robson, John s. Mailman and Geo. A
Fudikar.

ssThe Henriettao Plot In Actual
Life.

ssThe Henrietta, Plot I'm Actual
Life.
The strange story of Nathan Corwith,
ST., who is liable to die at any moment,
reads like a romance.
A rascally son ruins his fortune and
the old man is dying of a broken
heart.
Corwith year ago was the richest
lead merchant in America, if not in the
world. The approach OF death caused
inquiries, which resulted in obtaining the
heretofore unknown story of his sudden
descent to poverty, as told by one of his
former associates. The supposition has
been that Corwith's gigantic failure in
business was solely the result of an ILL
timed attempt to corner the lead supply
OF the world. AS now revealed the
reason was almost repetition of the
plot OF The Henrietta. Ex-County Com
missioner Donnesberger, who examined
the books of Corwith after the failure. is
| the source of the new information. The
facts, as related, are in brief that Cor
| with's every move in speculation was
being "coppered" with his own capital
by his own son, Guerdon Corwith, and
that before the inevitable crash came
81, 100, 900 had been withdrawn from the
old mans Golfers and sunk in operations
in which the younger Corwith had be-
come hopelessly involved.
Young Corwith was at the time q
metal broker in New York, and induced
the father to believe that he had exclu-
sive information regarding the plans Of
the French copper syndicate as to lead.
Corwith, ST., was in poor health, and
allowed the son unusual leeway. Until
the actual collapse was reached, Corwith
believed that he had an enormous guam
tity of lead on hand and paid for, when
the fact was that the lead purchased had
already been sold and the proceeds
utterly wiped out by young Corwith's
operations. Donnesberger and other
close friends of the elder Corwith were
called TO New York, and closely analysed
the books and traced up consignments,
until they discovered the real state Of
affairs.
/ Young Corwith was placed in confue'
ment by the investigators, but afterwards
released, and the father shouldered the
burden, making whatever settlement
was possible.
The ailment from which old Nathan
Corwith has been suffering, the doctors
say, is heart trouble.
Robson, Crane and company will pro-
duce The Henrietta in this city, beginning
next Wednesday evening.

A Mistake.

The case against d. E. Gaudin, who
was accused Of having obtained property
from P. R. Austin by means of false
pretenses, was dismissed by Police Judge
Stanton yesterday. In paying for the
goods purchased, Gaudin inadvertently
gave Austin check upon the Los Ange-
les National Bank for $3.50, which, upon
presentation, was dishonored. It has
since been developed that Gaudin had
and that he signed one Of the blanks Of
any intention Of defrauding Austin what

The afternoon concert, owing to the
bad weather, was not 30 largely at
tended as it would otherwise have been,
but it goes without saying that it was
fully appreciated. Every number. with
the exception of the opening and con-
Guiding numbers, was loudly applauded
and an encore demanded, this being re-
eponded to in every case with the excep-
ton of Signor Campanini, who very
properly acknowledged the honor with
gracious bows. The opening number.
the overture from Buy Bias, by the
band, was played with spirit, and this
was followed by what may we'll be
termed gem, the quartette for French
horns, "Come Where My Love Lies
Dreaming" executed by Messrs. Wes-
ton, Cass, Ringer and Gilm. The next
selection by the band, De Kontski's
caprice heroique. "The Awakening of
the Lion" is evidently one of their ia
vorites, being most admirably given.
Miss Jenny Dickerson gave a gavotte
from Mignon, and as an encore sang
"Come In and Shut the Door," rarely
and with much grace. Rubinstein'e
melody in by the band
was very sweetly interpreted,
though it did not meet with
the favor it should have from the audi
ence. An extra by Signor Bologna, an
aria from Tannhaxscr, called for the
usual repeat, and deservedly so, to which
he responded with an aria from Carmen.
Mr.. Lefebre's solo on the saxophone was
pleasing, and Signorina Clementina de

mente." It was marvellous rendering,
and all too soon came to an end. Her
recall was a modest aria, to which she
played her own accompaniment sweetly.
In the "Rhapsodie Hongroise" the band
again scored success, the playing of the
| reed instruments being remarkably fine
Signor Campanini gave the aria "Salve,"
from Faust, which he had given the pre-.
vious evening, and did not respond to the
loud recall. Rubinstein's valse caprice
was the next number, aud proved ex-
ceeding sweet in the Interpretation, and
this was followed by terzetto scherzoso,
the familiar "Vadasi via di qua," sung
by Signorina de We're and Signori Cam
panini and Bologna with much vivacity
and spirit. The recall was repetition,
which was enjoyed so much by the Gig
norma that the laughing notes produced
a genuine laugh, in the full enjoyment Of
which she left the stage. The conclud.
ing number was the military march, Gle

one of the Sunday concerts, but without

THE LEADING TOPIC.
What is Said of the Match in Wash
ingtOn.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Chief Justice
Fuller declined to say anything to-day in
regard to the elopement of his daughter
Miss Pauline Fuller. This evening he de-
clined to see any of the newspaper men
who called at the family residence, out at
Columbia heights. The Chief Justice
sent out word he had nothing whatever to
say on the subject of their inquiries The
Chief Justice occupied his seat on the
bench as usual to-day and Mrs. Fuller was
out shopping during the forenoon. 1t
seems probable that their first intimation
of the marriage came from newspaper
sources, as Miss Maud Fuller, one of the
eldest daughters, when seen by reporter
for the local afternoon newspaper, ex-
pressed surprise at what she was told and
said she did not believe that Pauline had
eloped. The family are evidently much
annoyed at Miss Pauline's actions.
Miss Pauline Fuller is not we'll known
in Washington. She came here last Octo
Der and only stayed about two and half
months, making but few acquaintance.
She is only u years old, and left the city
before the society season had fairly COM
menced, it being her intention not to make
her debut until next winter. In the win
ter she was fond of the theatre, and could
frequently be seen at the play houses. She
did not seem to like Washington, and fire.
quently expressed her desire to be back in
Chicago. The elopement overshadowed all
other topics Of conversation in social cir
cles here, and much sympathy was ex-
pressed for Mrs. Fuller.

Disa strOus Fire.

ST. LOUIS, March 22.-Fire broke out
this afternoon in the Standard bagging
factory on Stoddard avenue near Twelfth
street. The whole concern was group of
old buildings with very little fire protec-
tion. Owing to the inflamable nature of
the building and its contents the flames
spread rapidly, and the widest panic en-
sued among the 200 employees, most OF
whom we're girls. The few men employed
in the building worked bravely and sue
ceeded in leading the panic stricken girls
through the smoke and flames to a place
where they could drop out to the low ad
joining buildings. All were saved with
the exception of Ada Labrecht, who was
found terribly burned. Chas. Gufran re-
mained on the third floor too long, and
when he found all means of escape cut off
save by q window, he took this only chance
and jumped and was terribly injured by
the fall, but will not die. A man whose
name could not be learned was run over
by the fire engine and badly injured. The
pecuniary loss by the fire is small.

The PiggOtt Letter.

LONDON, March 24-Lewis, solicitor for
for Parnellites, in calling attention to the
amazing and important mistatement," in
reference to Piggott which was given by
Attorney General Webster in the Com
mons on Friday last, says: That letter
referred to by Webster as having been
placed in the hands of Sir Charles Russell
five days before Piggotts appearance in
the witness box. was the letter from
Soames, solicitor for the Times, to Piggott,
and that the two other letters from Piggott
to Soames in which Piggott admitted he
feared to undergo examination were with
held by the Times lawyers. Lewis says it
is the fact that neither counsellor or solicitor
for the PaInellites had notice of the exis-
tence of these two letters until Piggott had
decamped.
LONDON, March "a Attorney General
Webster, replying to Lewis, writes he be-.
lieves that he handed to Sir Charles Rus
sell the letters to which Lewis refers, but
that he will have to refer to his short hand
notes for confirmation.
Other cases, he says, are matters not impor-
tant because none of the letters would have
justified the withdrawal of Piggott from the
witness box and further Sir Charles Russell
elected not to have the letters read until
Piggott was in the box.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
The Case of Iowa Decided Against
the State.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission, by Commis-
sioner Morrison, rendered its decision to-
day in the case of the Northwestern Iowa
Grain and Stock Shippers Association vs..
the Chicago & Northwestern Railway
Company. 1t states that railroad COM
pany, in making different rates for the
same distance on different branches of its
road, must justify them by showing that
there is difference in the cost of carrying
on different branches. The company by
long maintaining rates without the presence
of competition on other than equal terms
makes or gives evidence that such rate is
not too low. A company which has two
routes between points cannot lawfully
charge more tor shorter than for longer
distances on either. A road can carry
freight from points on its main line cheaper
than another road can carry over branch
road with separate equipments to and over
it's main line, and where one of such
branch lines must carry on competition
with another line from its main lire sta
tions the rate on that branch established
no criterion for the branches not so situated.
The company gave special rates to corn
shippers in Nebraska to point in Illinois,
by means of which the corn reached the
seaboard at low through rates. When the
company denied, as it did, such special
advantages to corn shippers in Iowa it gave
unlawful preference to the Nebraska
shippers.

Trial Major Lydecker.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-A court mar
tial convened at the War Department this
morning for the trial of Major Lydecker on
charges arising out of the failure OF the
aqueduct tunnel. A7
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Tbe proceed
ings were opened with the reading of the
order concerning the court and charging
neglect of duty to the pref
udice of good and order disci-
pline, which is supported by six speci
fcations, which set out the faulty work in
the tunnel and the failure of the defendant
to exercise care in its superintendent.
After the specifications had been read
Major Lydecker pleaded not guilty. He
denied all responsibility for the character
of the work, while admitting that it was
defective in several particulars. Then fol-
lowed the reading of the contracts, orders
and other papers connected with the tunnel
work, after which Lieut. Townsend testi-
fed that he had discovered a number OF
pieces of bad work, and in one case
where forty feet of dry packing and cavities
were found the sub inspector had been dis
charged and change made in the force.
Major Lydecker examined the reports and
went through the tunnel several times with
the witness when he first reported and
afterwards He had known these visits to
be two months apart. About 100000
would be required to line the tunnel, and
while there were portions of which he was
afraid, on the whole he thought that the
tunnel would carry water in its present
condition. Adjourned.

West Virginia Republican Legislators
Refuse to Recognize Wilson
as Governor.

West Virginia Legislative Trouble.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 20-It is
reported to-day that the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature have entered into
an agreement after thorough canvass of
the political situation to refuse to
obey the call of Governor Wilson for an
extra session of that body, on the ground
that he is not the lawful governor of the
State aud is therefore without authority to
issue such call. The determination has
reached the ears of the Democrats and has
kicked up an immense hubbub. While the
Democrats have one majority in the house,
they are two in the minority in the Senate
and they are busy tonight arranging to
combat with this new move of opposition
1t is likely should the Republicans fail to
respond, the sergeant at arms will be sent
to arrest them at their homes and this
might easily precipitate trouble.
WHEELING, w. Va. March 25.-General
Goff, Republican gubernatorial candidate,
who received a majority of the votes cast
at the recent election in this State and who
is now engaged in a contest before the
Legislature with Judge Fleming to estab-
lish his claims. arrived here this evening
for conference with his friends in this
part of the State. In an interview this
evening he asserted his determination to
push his claim in all possible ways and be-
fore all proper tribunals and said he felt
confident the Legislature would, from the
evidence he should place before the special
committee, finally acknowledge the just
ness of his claim.

Gossip About the Marriage of Miss
Fuller.

MILWAUKEE, March 2O.-The marriage
last night of Miss Fuller, the fifth daughter
of Chief Justice Fuller, and j. M. Aubrey,
Jr., youth of Chicago, at the Kirby House,
in this city, by justice of the peace, has
been the subject of much gossip here to-
day. Young Aubrey formerly lived in
Milwaukee, and has many friends here who
called to extend congratulations, and before
noon he had received many kilograms and
congratulations from friends in Chicago
and elsewhere. Mrs. Aubrey remained
quietly in the hotel all day, and her hus-
band says they may remain here a few
days until he can arrange house for his
bride in Chicago, where he has a position

great abundance of nut brown hair, which
curling around her face and neck makes a

Her eyes are grey and thoughtful and her

Verdict of Not GuiIfv.

PITTSBURGH, March 21.-A Wheeling
despatch says there was an remarkable oc-
curance in the United States Court to day,
which shows the futility of any further at
tempt by the Government to secure
convictions in election cases. at least with
the present panel. VIM. Meyers,alleged to
be a minor, was on trial and this evening
the jury came into court and said there
was not possible chance for an agree
ment being reached. The Court said he
would send them back when the foreman,
OBrien, said none of the jury was willing
to convict if they could not be assured in
advance what the punishment would be.
The court sharply reproved the jury for
this attempt to compromise the case.
Whereupon the jury retired and in anoth. +
five minutes returned verdIc. Of not gull.

the verdict is the talk of the city tonight.
1t is not probable that other cases will be
tried by the District Attorney, although
seventy indictments are in his hands.
