der proper stimulus and it is to be
hoped that the canal fasco will not
hinder its development. As to the
prospects of tbs Panama Canal
Company, ex- Minister McLane says
he believes the French government
will treat it as strictly private en-
terprise. The last attempt to OBJ
tain the sanction of the government
to another lottery loan was refused.
The canal bonds have been taken
by the middle and poorer classes
Of the country, and are widely dis
tributed. Politicians who wish to
gain popular favor take up the
question and urge government sup
port for the enterprise. But it is
not likely that it will get it.
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
One of Philip D. Armour's bene-
factions to the city Of Chicago is
an industrial school for boys and
girls which, for a considerable time,
has been in successful operation.
This institution, in which poor
children are taught useful arts and
trades and put in the way Of be-
coming good citizens, will be great
ly enlarged this summer if Mr.. Ar
mour can purchase a certain tract
of land for which he has offered a
large price. Mr.. Armour is the
well-known pork-packer and dealer
in dressed beef.
LOCK OF GEORGE wAsHINGToN's HAIR.
Among the most interesting rel
les of the Johnstown food is a |
small gold locket found in the ruins
of the Hurlbut house. The locket
contains a small coil Of dark-brown
hair, and has H. P. engraved on the
inside, and also the following re-
markable lines: "Lock of George
Washington's hair, cut in Philadel-
phia while on his way to Yorktown,
1881" Mr.. Benford, one of the
proprietors of the house, states that
the locket was the property of his
sister, who was lost in the flood,
and was presented to her by an old
ady in Philadelphia, whose own
mother had herself cut the hair
rom the head of the Father of his
country" and there is no doubt
hat the statement is reliable.

The Next House Republican.

Up to date, says a Washington dis,
patch, all but about fifteen certificates
of MEMBERSHIPS to the next house
have been received by General Clark,
clerk of the house. Among those lack
ing are the certificates of two represen-
tatives from West Virginia and one from
Tennessee. In regard to the case of
West Virginia members-elect, General
Clark said that now the senatorial con-
test WAS over he believed the certificates
for the representatives would soon be
made out. Regarding the Tennessee
cas- General Clark said it would not be
proper for him to express IN opinion,
as the case might come before him for
n decision between the two sets of GER
~tifcates. Assuming that Evans, of Ten
nessee, tfep.) will receive ii sufficient
certificate, the clerk figures that the re-
publicans will have 1854 and the demo
Gratis 10 members at the organization
of the next house, not counting the
West Virginia members. The admis-
sio1 of the Dakotas, Washington and
Montana will increase this majority.

Aiger Must Have an Explanation.

Washington special: A dispatch from
Columbus, o., says General Alger, of
Michigan, who was at the Lincoln birth
day banquet the other night, was quoted
as saying he had written Senator Sher-
man demanding an explanation of the
charges attributed to the latter. These
charges, which circulated very freely
when Alger WAS spoken of as the posi-
BILE secretary of war, were that Senator
Sherman had notified General Harrison
that he would certainly oppose General
Alger's confirmation if nominated. The
reason was said to be that Ayers money
had purchased the votes of southern
delegates away from Sherman at the
Chicago convention. General Alger is
said to have been very indignant when
he heard all this, and said mt Columbus
that he would have n satisfactory expla-
nation or know why. Senator Sherman
was asked this morning what he knew
about the matter. He replied coldly
that he had not received any letter from
General Alger, and had nothing to say
about newspaper stories of alleged
charges.

Destr uctiye Fire in Cincinnati

Cincinnati special: Shortly after 8
o'clock this morning the machine shops,
car shops and locomotive house of the
Cincinnati, Indianapolis, st. Louis &
Chicago railway were found to be on
fire. A strong wind was blowing from
the west, and when the fremen arrived
the entire property was doomed. The
building in which the fire started was a
one-storY wooden structure, and was
soon not only ablaze itself but sending
firebra&ds into and upon all other build
ings. The entire fire department was
out and devoted its strength to prevent
the spread of the flames. The damage
to the railroad company's property was
complete and is estimated by President
ingalls, at 5000. 900, upon which there IS
nm insurance of about one -half the sum.
The loss to the machinery and buildings
is about S15, 600. One locomotive, five
coaches and thirty freight cars were de-
stroyed. The origin of the fire is not
known.

The Iowa A. O. U. W. Split.

Sioux City special: The supreme fac
ton of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen has filed a petition for a re-
hearing with the clerk of the supreme
court. When the case was decided by
this court two years ago a rehearins was
asked, but denied. In the recent decis-
ion tie court states the lease demanded
from the court no further discussion"
1t is now open to the Iowa grand lodge
to begin summary proceedings by in
junction to restrain the surremers from
further use of the name of the order
and the right to do business in the state,
which course will now probably be pur-
sued. An invitation was extended to
the snpremers to become members of
the order by complying with the re-
quirement relative to reinstatement, but
this invitation was spurned with con
tempt. Heretofore the grand lodge has
acted on the defensive. Hehceforth it
will assume the offensive.

The Assassins Likely to be Captured.

Little Rock special: Additional evil
dence has been secured adding new
links to the chain closing around the as
sassins of John M. Clayton. The sus-
pected parties have been known for
over two weeks, but conclusive proof of
their guilt has been lacking. Day by
day the evidence has been accommodating
until the chain is nearly complete. Wit
nesses were found yesterday who will
swear to the whereabouts of the sus-
pected parties on the night of the asaas-
sination. Justice will not be much
| niger delayed. A letter which Gen.
Powell Clayton had written to Il friend
in Pine Cliff, regarding the assassina-
ton of General Hindman, correcting
statements made by Mr..
Berry, is in town. General Clayton
charges that at his own and John NJ.
Clayton's instigation the republican
members of the Legislature in 1885 went
over to and elected Berry, and that
Berry afterwards acknowledged his in
debtedness to John NJ. Clayton. The
friends of Berry say he should make a
full statement and clear his skirts of
the charge.

Getting Square With u Brute Of q Hns-
hand.

A certain little army surgeon, VINO
was stationed ut Bungalore, had
selected n very pretty girl out OF an
invoice who had been frightened out
on speculation. She was very fond
of gayety and amusement, and, after
her marriage, appeared much fonder
of passing away the evening at a
ball than in the company oithe little
doctor. Nevertheless, although she
kept late hours, in every respect she
was very correct. The doctor, who
was a quiet, sober man, preferred
going to bed early and rising before
the sun to inhale the cool breeze of
the morning, and as the lady seldom
came home till past midnight no was
not very well pleased at being dis
turbed. At last his patience was
wearied out, and he told her plainly
that if she stayed out later than
twelve O'Clock he had resolved mott to
give her admittance.
At this the young wife, who, like
all pretty women, imagined he would
do no such thing, laughed heartily,
and from the next ball to which she
was invited did not return till half
past two in the morning. As soon
as she arrived the palanquin bearers
knocked for admittance, but the doc
tor, true to his word, put his head
out of the window and very ungal-
lantly told his wife she might remain
where she was. The lady coaxed, ex-
postulated, threatened and en-
treated, but in vain. At last she
screamed and appearedto be frantic.
declaring that if not Immediately adj
mitted she would throw herself into
the well. which was in the grounds
not fifty yards from the bungalow.
The doctor begged that she woulddo
so If it gave her any pleasure and
then retired from the window.
His wife ordered the bearers to take
her on the palanquin to the well. She
got out, gave her directions, and
then skipped away towards the bun
galow, and stationed herself close to
the door against the wall. The bear
ers commenced crying out. as if ex-
pOstulating with their mistress, and
then, d~etaching IL large and heavy
stone, two of them plunged it into
the water, after which they all set up
IL howl of lamentation. The little
doctor heard the heavy plunge, fol-
lowed up by the shrieks OF the palan-
quin bearers.
Good heavens!" cried he. sis it
possible?" and darted out to the
well in his shirt.
AS soon as he had passed his wife
rushed indoors, locked, and made all
fast, and appeared at the window
from which her husband had ad-
dressed her.
The doctor discovered the ruse, but
too late. 1t was now his turn to ex-
pOstulate. But how could he hope
for mercy, renderingnone? Thelady
was laconic and decided.
cat least, then, throw me my
clothes" said the doctor.
"NOt even your slippers to protect
you from scorpions and c~entipedes,"
replied the lady, shutting the win
dOWs.
At daylight when the officers were
riding out, they found the poor little
doctor, pacing the veranda up and
down in the chill OF the morning with
nothing but his shirt to protect him.

cA1rLEMEn PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS.

dhe Scheme of Forming an Immense Com
mission Company Carried Into Effect.
Kansas City dispatch: Representatives
of the stock raising industry from near
ly every state and territory west of the
Mississippi river, and from Illinois and
Kentucky, practically completed work
of vital Importance to cattle men to-day.
For a long time the cattlemen have
thoughtthe were losing money through
a combine of commission men and
large packing houses, which resulted in
the sale of their cattle at ridiculously
low prices. The scheme of forming an
immense commission company, com
posed of stock raisers themselves, had
been preached, and a month or so ago q
meeting held for that purpose took the
opening steps preparatory to such &c
ton. To-day the work was practically
finished, and the meeting adjourned un-
til March 4, when the election of officers
of the new commission will
take place.
1t was decided to incorporate the COM
pany as the American Live Stock Com
mission company, with a capital stock
of $3.50, 600, and headquarters at Kansas
City and Chicago. The incorporators
will be Samuel Lazarus, of Texas; A.
Gregory, of Illinois, and Nicholas It.
Eaton and Thomas B. Bugg, of Kansas
City. The articles of incorporation will
be filed at Springfield, Ill. March 2.
The idea of the promoters of this
movement is to enable them to sell their
stock at the highest price and with the
least expense possible, and with that
end in view headquarters will be estab-
lished at Kansas City and Chicago. with
branches at Wichita. Kan, Fort Worth,
Tex. and possibly Omaha, where stock
will be received and sold on the COM
mission plan. The new company will
not confine its business to its members,
but will receive stock from non-mem-
hers and will do a general commission
business OF a large scale.
One of the most important features of
the movement is the possible effect it
may have on the cattle business of Kan
sas City and Chicago. 1t has been the
general superstition among rangemen
that a very eight and powerful combine
existed in this city between commission
men and packing houses. The members
of the new organization now threaten
that if there is any disposition on the
part of packing houses to discriminate
against him after they begin business,
they will not ship a head of stock to
Kansas City, but will send their cattle
to Chicago. It is for this reason that
the company will be incorporated in
Illinois.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
movement may be had from the fact
that the members of the organization
now have 1853, 900 head of stock ready to
bring to market. 1t is thought that as
the movement becomes generally under
stood nearly every cattle raiserin the
west will join the company and make it
q gigantic combination, which will en-
able every stock raiser to practically do
his own selling.

Entertaining nge

Mr.. Saltonstan told another story
of old Mr.. Ward, which made rs oil
merry. There was a noted Amino
milan of Boston who used to go much
about the country disputing with all
who wouldIisten to him. who. coming
to Ipswich oae night with another OF
his sort with him, would fam have
tarried with Mr.. Ward; but he told
them that he had scarce hay and
grain enough in his barn for the Use
OF his Own cattle, and that they
would do well to take their horses to
the ordinary, where they would be
better cared for. But the fellow, not
wishing to be put off, babe him con

had thereby entertained angels uIi-

The Doors Bothered Him.

An elderly man, well but rather
sOmberly dressed, crossed Park row
from the pOst-ofilce one afternoon
recently and headed for IL hotel near
Broadway. His progress was slow
and eccentric, but he soon foundhim
self front of his destination. 1t
happens that this hotel has two ell
frances, withina few feet of Il an
other, and much alike in appearance.
The wayfarer paused in front OF
one door, slowly read the inscrip-
ton upon it. and, with Il satisfied
smile, started to enter. But the
smile quickly faded away, for as he
took the first step he caught sight OF
the outer door. He hesitated 81 mo-
ment and then walked over to the
second entrance. There he balanced
himself carefully and smiled once
more as he spelled out the sign, but
again the smile disappeared as IL
furtive glance showed him the first
entrance still in good and regular
standing.
The pilgrim backed out Othe curb
and studied the situation. Beyond
question he could see two doors mt
once and the fact seemed to annoy
him. After a little reflection an idea
struck him. He covered Oneeye with
his hand and slowly turned his head,
bringing one door into range and
then the other. Next he took out 6
pair of glasses, carefully wiped them.
and put them on, but still both

Indianapolis dispatch: President-elecs
Harrison is believed to have completed
his inaugural address, and interesting
gossip was circulating to-day, among

strongly in favor of the one term idea.

Halves, of New York, a prominent re-

the situation in New York, and as nearly
as can be ascertained the general re-
CARDS the New York factional strife as
