Change the Date.

From the Toledo Blade.
1t is now stated that Gen. Gibson of Ohio, is
very i'll with pneumonia, the result of exposure
in Washington, Inauguration day. Congress
man Townshend, of Illinois, is dead of the
same disease, contracted or augmented at
Washington, March 4. How many others are
sick or dead as a result of the exposure at
Washington that day, is not and never will be
known. The statement, however, that thou
sand deaths will be the result of the ex-
posture in Washington when President Har-
rison was inaugurated is probably under
rather than above the limit. An ordinarily
robust man can stand wetting without
either danger or inconvenience when he has
an opportunity to afterward take care
of himself. But when the crowd is SO great
that thousands have to go without rooms, and.
as a consequence, man who has been drenched
by the rain has no opportunity to change his
clothes or eyenprocure fire at which to warm
himself, the resulting sickness is bound to be
great. The best argument in favor of chang
ing the date OF Inauguration day is perhaps a
sanitary one, and it would seem to be the part
of common sense to select some time in April
when there is at least chance of having good
weather. The experience of many years is
that there are always storms in Washington
during the first week in March.

For Enticing Farm Hands Away.

An EMIGRATION AGENT ARRESTED IN NORTH CARO-
LIMA on A CURIOUS CHARGE.
dispatch from Raleigh, y. c., March 81,
says: A white man named H. II. Cheek, one Of
the agents engaged in inducing negro emigrants
TO go south, came to grief here to-day. He
left here last night with party of about sixty
negroes for Mississippi, but at Greensboro, 80
miles from here. he was overhauled by a prom
inent farmer of this section, named A. T. Mial,
who had him arrested and brought back to this
clty. charging that he had enticed away hands
who were hired to work for him by the year.
Cheek was arrsigned this evening before a
justice Of the peace and found guilty. and in
default Of 500 was put in Jail. His whole crew
were left at Greensboro, where they vet re-
main The farmers throughout this section
have been left without hands enough to work
their crops, and Mial determined TO make a
test case. Cheek is from Warren county, in this
state. and has been acting as agent for southern
planters wanting hands

How Sam Bryant was Fooled.

HE LOSES CHANCE TO MAKE 800 900 BY NOT
BACKING HIS OWN HORSE.
From the New York Star.
Bookmaker BILLY Boardman tells good
story of Sam Bryant, the proud owner of Proc
tor Knott Some one had said: Bryant says
Come-to-Taw will win the Kentucky derby,
and he ought to know"
Il don't care about that" answered Board
man. Owners are just as apt to be mistaken
any one else"
The night before the Kimball stakes were
run for at Latonia last fall" said Boardman
Il was at the hotel with Bryant, Tucker and one
or two others. Tucker bets his money pretty
freely, you know. and of course he wanted to
play the race. The next day he called Sam
Bryant on one side and asked him if Come-to-
law had any chance to win. Bryant answered
in his usual bluff style, No, not a bit: his
chances amt worth 10 cents. would not bet
a dollar OH him myself The two talked the
matter over pretty freely and both came to
the same conclusion, that HindOocraft, with
little Barnes in the saddle, was sure to win.
Barnes had been in the habit of riding
Bryants horses, but III order to make assur-
ance doubly sure they decided to put Barnes
on HindoOcraft, while Finnegan had to mount
Come-to-Taw. In the betting next day Hin
doocraft was a strong favorite at six to five,
and COme-to-Taw was fifty to one shot.
Tucker and Bryant were on hand early and bet
$4,000 on Hindoocraft i'll the books. The dis
lance was three-quarters of mile. and when
the start was made they all got off well in a
bunch. After the first quarter was passed Fin
negan sent COme-to-Taw to the front and was
never afterward headed. although Barnes al
most logged the life out of Hndoocraft
never i'll my lIfe." continued Boardman, saw
two more detected looking individuals
than Bryant and Tucker. As it was they lost
$1,000. while if they had bet this sum on their
own colt Come-to-Taw at the odds they would
have won exactly 100000. l was laughing at
Bryant after the race aud he was swearing one
of his usual blue streaks. Darn that colt he
observed; for a week past he has been so sulky
that We could do nothing with him. just
as soon as he came out on the track to-day

was feeling good, and / thought then that my

and they had the gate locked, SO l could not

a Rich Display of Jewelry.

From the jewelers. Circular
The late inaugural ball gave an admirable OPP
portunity for observing the freedom with
which American women, as a rule, indulge in
personal ornaments As the attendance at this
ball was restricted to no one grade or clique, it
fairly represented the taste and fashion of
every station of society and every section of
the country. A notable feature in the toilets
was unquestionably the very lavish display of
jewelry. Not only did the creme de La creme
exhibit fauitless gems mounted with great taste
and originality, but one saw much jewelry in
which mediocre stones appeared sometimes
with harmonious and pleasing effects, and
sometimes in exceedingly bad taste. The fact
we wish to emphatic, however, was apparent.
namely that American women are not only fond
Of jewelry, but they wear it.
With the empire style of dress which at
present prevails, and which was, furthermore,
a model for many of the toilets at the late ball,
came into fashion the heart brooch. This
brooch is merely an outline composed of a row
of diamonds, sapphires, rubies, or peals, with
pin across the back. Sometimes two outline
hearts, in contrasting colors, are interlaced.
Dianas emblem the crescent, is a favorite
both for wearing in the hair or inserting among
the diaphanous folds of q tulle ball dress.
There are crescents in brilliants and crescents
in diamonds. A jewel par excellence is q cres-
cent showing row OF sapphires in the center.

Telephones Burned Out.

From the New York Herald.
The Electrical Rerie,o records singular ac-
cident to telephones in Cleveland which should
serve as a warning to linemen in other cities.
One of the Cleveland linemen while stringing
wire to new building dropped it from the
top of pole down upon the line carrying the
powerful current of electricity for the motor
cars. The result is said to have been the
almost instantaneous burning out of number
Of telephones in East Cleveland.
This accident illustrates a new danger at
tending exposed electric wires. If telephones
are liable to be almost instantly burned out by
accidental contact of their connecting wires
with car-motor lines some means should be de-
vised for protecting houses in which the tele-
phone is placed

THE KIND OF JURORS THEY HAVE To TRY THE
CASES.
A dispatch from Wheeling. W. Va. March
21. says: There was rather a remarkable occur
renee in the United State court to-day. which
shows the futility of any further attempt by
the government to secure convictions in cleo
ton cases. at least with the present panel
William Meyers, alleged to be a minor. was on
trial. and ct $50 the jury came into court and
said there was no possible chance of an agree
ment being reached The court said it would
send them back, when Foreman O'Brien said
some Of the jury were willing To convict if they
could be assured in advance what the punish
ment would be. The court sharply reproved
the jury for their attempt to compromise the
case. wbereupon the jury retired and in five
Ihinutes returned verdict OF not guilty. The
sensation was tremendous. and the verdict is
the talk of the city tonight. Ii is not thought
any further cases will be tried by the district
attorney. although seventy indictments are in
his hands.

THE COMMONS EXCITED.
a Warm Debate on Capt. Seagrave and
Other Irish Matters.

The Capt Seagrave affair, which came ND in
the house of commons yesterday, grew out of
the Miteheilstown massacre in which Seagrave,
as member Of the Irish constabulary, took
part seagrave was recently suspended by the
government on charges made against him that
he mad been cashiered from the British army
at the Cape OF Good Hope in 1885. The Par
heIiites only recently learned of this and they
forced the government to make inquiries as to
the truth OF the charges. The result has been
to prove their truth. This is a good point
gained by the Parnellltes, as it puts the gov
eminent In the position Of having appointed a
man to place on the Irish constabulary who
had been dismissed in disgrace from the army.
After the sensation in the house of commons
occasioned by the governments admissions re-
gardlng Seagraye had subsidized, MIR. Brad
laughs motion to reduce Balfour's salary by
1000 was rejected by a vote of 272 to 2l1.
Mr.. Morley adduced mass Of details respect
ing witnesses for the Times with the view of
disProving the governments professions of
neutrality.
Mr.. Balfour, amid continued opposition
laughter, described the charge that the govern
ment was connected with the Times, through
Houston and Pigott, as a scandalous and I'M
founded libel Continuing, he said that the
government volunteered no information for the
purposes of the commission, but they were
willing to give il to either side when required
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said that Mr..
BalfOur Inexperienced Mr.. Morley's case.
The fact that Irish constables had been sub
pnnsed did not make it necessary for them to
remain for months in London unless they we're
performing distinct services for the Times
Mr.. Bradlaugh said that so far from being
impartial, the government had withheld from
the persons accused matters material to their
defense.
Mr.. Healey said he had tried to cross-exam-
Inc Mr.. Soames on his mode of getting up
evidence, but the Times chief ally, Justice
Smith
The chairman, interrupting, called upon Mr..
Healey to withdraw his reference to her mai
esty's judge.
Mr.. Healey commended that he did not refer
TO the judge, but to the commissioner; that the
commission act simply called the commission
ers by their names. The chairman neverthe-
less maintained that Mr.. Healey was out of
order.

Like a Great Earthquake Shock.

DYNAMITE WORKS NEAR TOMS RIVER. n. j., BLOWN
Up AND TWO MEN KILLED.
The region about Lakewood, n. J., was
shaken as if by great earthquake shock about
/ o'clock yesterday. At the same time the air
was filed with mighty roar, like the combined
boom of thousand cannon, and vast cloud
of smoke rose up and spread over the land
scape. The phenomena were caused by an ex-
plosion at the United States Dynamite COM
pany. eight miles distant. three miles from
Toms River. The explosion had occurred in
the mixing-room. Thomas Haggarty and VIM
Nicholas, both of Manchester. the only occu-
pants of the room. were instantly killed. Mich
olas was blown to atoms and Haggarty died in
less than an hour. He was unconscious most
OF the time, and was unable to give any expla-
nation of how the accident happened His
body was terribly mutilated, and he suffered
great agony during his conscious intervals
The shock was perceptible in all the towns
and villages within 10 or 20 miles. At Toms
River many of the citizens were greatly
alarmed. Some of the buildings were violently
shaken and the earth trembled perceptiblv
The shock was more violent than it was during
any of the three former explosions at the same
factory.
The United States dynamite company located
its factory Toms River about four years
ago. Three explosions have occurred there in
which five men were killed and 5hree manned
for life

Brown and His "wives.o

MANY A TRUE WORD SPOKEN AS JOKE.
Some months ago Mr.. and Mrs. Brown ap-
peared in New Glasgow, n s. An artist
painted Mrs. Browns portrait and placed it in
a store window. A. NJ. Frazer the town clerk,
in spirit of fun, told the proprietor it was
the portrait Of an abandoned woman, where
upon the proprietor threw it in the cellar. The
story came out and Mrs. Brown sued for defa-
nation OF character and got Judgment. 1t
subsequently, developed that she was not mar
ried to Brown, who had a wife living in New
Jersey. The latter was brought forward, and
Mrs. Brown No. 2 decamped- Brown later OPP
posed, through his counsel, motion to set
aside the judgment against Frazer on the
ground that he was divorced from his first wife
in 1869 in Chicago, and telegram signed by
Lawyer w. Knox Haynes, of Chicago that a
copy OF the decree was on the way. was pro-
duced. Investigation in Chicago showed the
decree referred to another Brown, aud further
investigation will be made. Lawyer Haynes
claims innocence of any guilty intent.
