dered at Turnerville. Coroner Chas,
Beaie acted all the morning as man
with q grave responsibility resting
upon him and at the last moment he
decided to have the inquest in Nor
gan's hall, place sufficiently large to
accommodate a great gathering. Car
riages came in town from every road,
and the crowd of curious persons in
creased all the time.
The noon train brought to GIassboro
from Philadelphia Marc Sterrberg,
the tradesman, and Mrs Glassman,
who identified the body of the mur-
dered peddler; and from Woodbury.,
Prosecutor Belmont Perry and County
Detective Garrison, who, in a week,
have woven G chain of evidence around

Munyan, S. Henry Pierce, Robert
Lutz, Samuel Evans, w. Haynes and
John Sorden.
Miss Marion Garter, a fair young
lady from Turnerville, told of the find

diately upon the discovery the party
rushed to the village and gave the
alarm. Squire William Beetle, of

the body, was sworn. He said. It lay
in such a position that at first didn't
know whether it was in Gloucester or
Camden County. His face was down
and his arms were buried in the mud.

he was murdered. Then remembered
him as a peddler who used to come
through the village, but whose name l

evidently made with sharp instru-
ment, and any two of them were suf-
ticient to cause death.
Marc Sternberg and Mrs. Glassman,
of Philadelphia, told of their Identify

Seidemann. Mrs. Glassman also said

Warning to Youngsters Who VIII Indulge
In Bad Habit.
PHILADELPHIA, November 28.-Youth-
full cigarette smokers have warning in the
experience of Christopher Kleinz. the IA
year-old son of j. f. Kleinz, a well-known
sporting man of this city. Young Christie
pher is in the habit of consuming large
numbers of cigarettes, and he inhaled SO
much nicotine that he was taken last
Saturday morning with dizziness and
spasms and soon commenced to swell
to vast proportions. His arms and
legs grew to twice their usual
size and his eyes were almost hidden under
his swollen cheeks. In places the flesh
turned black and blue, and great blisters
broke out on all parts of his body. For
time his life was in danger, DR.. Kobler,
after considerable hard work, succeeded in
getting him down to something like his
natural size, and to-day he was considered
out Of danger.
A telegram from Reading says: William
Lott, cigar dealer, was arrested here yes
terday on the charge Ofsselling cigarettes to
school boys 8 and 9 years old. About 15
other dealers will be arrested. This action
is being taken in accordance with the in
structions OF the School Board, which au-
thorized the prosecution of all dealers who
sold cigarettes to school children.

CONSERVATISM OF CATS.
some Of the Many Points Of Difference Be-
tween Them and Dogs.

Some Of the Many Points Of Difference Be-
tween Them and Dogs.
London Saturday Review.I
Cats are being exhibited at the Crystal
Palace. It is not an emotional show. Mr..
Max Muller tells pretty anecdOte of how
his dachshund recognized him afar off at
one of the canine exhibitions, and did his
best to make up for the want Of articulate
language by affectionate demonstrations
Cats are noble animals, but not demon
strative. In an elusive age the cat remains
calm, dignifed, impassive, the Red Indian
of the animal creation. The cat is not like
the dog; it is melancholy to think what man
has made OF him and what he has made Of
man, Every vice of the age re-
fleets itself in the modern dog. He
is self-conscious, affected, communicative,
gushing, the victim of ennui; he thirsts for
excitement, for society, for public notice.
From room to room he speeds, looking for
that in which he finds most society and is
most brought forward. He is vain of his
accomplishments, and delights in begging,
in refusing or accepting, bits Of cake ''from
Mr. Gladstone" in "giving three cheers for
the Queen" in saying William" Mr..
Romanes mentions dog in Dumfries who
could say."William." Nobody ever heard
OF cat who attempted anything of that
Sort
In contrast with the demonstrative phi
lanthrophy of the day consider the example
of the cat. The cat has retenue. He has
his hours Of sportiveness, as Montague OBJ
served; "thus freely speaketh Montague
about cats, says Izaak Walton. BE will
not disturb himself at any other moments
for anybody. The Establishments Of
strangers he neither shuns nor seeks-he
endures them. He is never bored with his
own company. OF all animals he alone at
tains to the contemplative lite. There is no
pretense of sympathy about the cat He
lives ''alone, aloft, sublime" in a wise
passiveness. If you tread on dogs tail by
accident he utters ''the lyric cry, and then
dissolves in the elegies of apology. The
cat suffers and is silent, or firmly applies his
claws without remark. He is excessively
proud; and, when he is made the subject Of
conversation, will cast one glance Of scorn
and leave the room in which personalities
are banded. He disdains accomplish
ments, and it is fact that cats are losing the
art of purring. All expressions Of emotion
he scouts as frivolous and insincere, except,
indeed, IN the ambrosial night; when, free
from the society of mankind, he pours forth
his soul in strains of unprecedented art.

THEY WENT BY TONS.
Turkeys Continued to Sell Right up
to Noon on Thanksgiving.
TWO THOUSAND SINGLE SALE,
And Many More Might Have Found a
Market at High Prices.
CHEAPER POULTRY AND LIVE STOCK.
OFFICE OF PIrTsBURe DISPATCH, I
THURSDAY. November 28, 1889.

THURSDAY. November B, lood'
Produce commission merchants kept open
until noon to-day to close out perishable
stock, chiefly poultry. Choice turkeys went
off like hot cakes yesterday, and many more
than were on the market would have found
ready sale. Wholesalers report their sales
by tons and carloads, and can give no esti-
mate Of numbers. A number of Liberty
street commission men report sales of one
or two carloads of turkeys. Two firms fur
nished over 1000 turkeys to the Westing-
house establishments for employees. Sup
plies were not so large as last Thanksgiving
and prices were fully &c per pound higher
than year ago.
Mostly Grown at n Distance.
The crop of nearby turkeys has not been
so light for many years, and our main de-
pendence for supplies this season is on the
West. While the supply of choice turkeys
this week has been short of demand, other
poultry and game have been in excess Of de-
mand. Chickens have been drug on the
market, and many dealers find themselves
with large quantities on hand after Thanks
giving supplies are filed. The price at
which dressed chickens we're sold by Jobbers
yesterday was 9@1Oc per pound.
Prospects are fair for cheap poultry other
than turkey for the balance of this week.
Liberty Live stock.
The marked feature of the live stock trade
for the week past has been the sharp decline
in hogs. The best selected hogs are selling
at So 70, and the feeling among dealers is
that bottom has not yet been reached.
Packers claim that So 80 is the proper figure,
and predict that prices will find this level
before the downward drift comes to stand
still. There has been a scarcity of smooth,
well-fatted light butcher cattle for some
weeks at the Liberty yards, and this grade
only holds its own.
Prime Heavy cattle and low grade stock
are weak at decline of &c to 10c from last
weeks prices.
The run of sheep, as will be seen by accom-
panying report, was light, and choice stock
is 20 to 25c higher than a week ago. Markets
in all staple meat lines are slow for the week,
as is always the case in Thanksgiving times.
Turkeys have the field this week above all
other weeks in the year, and beef, pork and
mutton are forced to take back seat.
The Week at Liberty.
Following is a report of the weeks trans
actions at the East Liberty yards:

A REPUBLICAN PLAN
To Break the Deadlock Existing In the
Montana Legislature-The Lieu.
tenant Governor Will
Take Decided


a
Part.
HELENA, MONT, November 2S.-Re-
publican leaders Yesterday were in CONSUL
tation with several eminent LAWYERS, and be-
lieve they have found a way to extricate
themselves from the muddle in which they
will find themselves. 1t is stated that Gov
ernor Toole was not legally empowered to
name a place in which the Legislature
should assemble; that the only State officer
who possesses such authority is State Au-
ditor Kenney, and that that official person
ally notified the members of the House to
meet at another place than that selected by
Governor Toole. When only Republicans
responded he, as authorized by the consti-
tuition, called the roll and declared the
House assembled and ready for business.
In q lengthy legal opinion the Republi-
cans of the Senate are advised to wait no
longer for the recalcitrant Democratic men,
bers, but 90 ahead with their business. The
Lieutenant Governor, the lawyers say, in
their opinion must, as the presiding officer,
assume the responsibility of casting the de-
Gliding vote that is necessary to constitute
quorum.
Lieutenant Governor Richards said last
night that he believed the suggestion out
lined in the opinion is the only solution of
the difficulty, and unless the Democrats
awaken to their duties he will break the
deadlock.
The Republicans are also considering the
impeachment of Governor Toole, on the
ground that without a shadow of authority
he hired hall, caused lock- to be placed on
all the doors, and placed guards for the pur-
pose of keeping out the contesting Republi-
cans from Silver Bow, knowing that with
out these members the Democrats could do
as they pleased.

THE GREAT SWINDLE.
Many Persons Said to be Implicated In the
Fraudulent Land Transactions
The Record of FrederIksen
While in Europe.

CHICAGO, November 2S.-Speaking Of
the Frederiksen land swindle, M. Nc
Murtrie, of the Western Land Company,
said to reporter:
Frederiksen went into the business a poor
man. All the money he has made went to
others. Those who got all the profits and never
lost cent through him are now posing as vic
tins. They were behind Frederiksen, furnished
the capital. knew all about the business and
reaped the benefits. Frederiksen did an i'm
mense business In one year he sold between
200 and 100000 acres at So per acre that he
had bought Tor S5. At the end of my first
months connection with Frederiksen told
would stay no longer. But had got johnson,
of Milwaukee, nephew of Alexander Mitchell,
involved to large amount, and had to stay
two years to get him out, which l did. in
sisted that where Frederikseu sold any of the
lands to which johnson held the original title
it should only be as attorney for johnson.
from Frederiksen have q good title. johnson
charged Frederiksen only per cent interest,
while others charged 25 per cent bonus and an
interest in the profits besides.
A dispatch from Madison, Wis, says:
Professor N. C. Frederiksen, of Chicago,
whose gigantic and peculiar operations in
land deals are attracting much attention,
made headquarters here for several years
after first coming to America. Professor
Rasmus B. Anderson, United States Minis
ter to Denmark under Cleveland, was init
mately acquainted with Fredericksen here
and prior to his flight from Europe.
''It is long story" said Mr.. Anderson,
when called upon by correspondent 81
was we'll acquainted with his history in
Denmark and when he came to this country
he Immediately looked me up. He was in
the most prominent political and social cir
cles of the Danish capital, a brilliant
scholar, author of several important works
on political economy, and was, think n
member of the Danish Parliament for
about 16 wears. His wife is the
daughter of Bishop Monrad, formerly Prime
Minister of Denmark, and the connections
Of her family placed them among the social
and political leaders of the Kingdom. He
was largely interested in business enter
prises in Denmark, and ended in gigantic
smashup similar, in some respects, to that
he is at present mixed up in. although do
not think there was anything criminal
connected with the former. He fed the
country, bct could have returned at any
time had he seen tt."
Prof. Anderson says that he entertained
suspicious as to the legitimacy of Freder-
iksen's business as much as year ago, and
was told in Denmark to look out for him as
the reports from America regarding him
were bad.
