Father Mayer, After Burial Nine Years.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Nov. 2S.-The remarkable
preservation Of the body of a Catholic
priests attracting attention in Newark, N.
j. Rev. Father Wendelin Mayer, of the
Benedictine order. died at Cape May,
August27, 1880. The body was taken to
Newark and buried with those of other
Benedictlne priests in ST. Mary's cemetery.
The remains were disinterred some DAYS
ago to be taken to Wilmington, Del, for
final burial. The undertaken who took
charge of the body was astonished to find
that from the shoulders to the knees it was
petrlfled and in perfect condition The
flesh had all disappeared from the head
and neck and below the knees; the brain
was intact and as hard as stone. Hundreds
of people have visited the untertaker's
place to. see the remains
The body OF Father Mayer was en-
balmed by Cape May undertaken in the
usual way. Ii was buried in marshy
ground and lay in water over nine years.
Inc petrlfled portion is of the color of dark
wood and is not unlike wood in appearance
and texture. 1t is so well preserved that
even the wrinkles of the flesh are obserya-
BILE.
The case has caused much excitement
among the Catholic Germans of New
ark, who believe that the preservation is due
to supernatural causes. They think the con-
dltion of Father Mayors body partakes of
the nature OF divine gift. Father MAYER
was one OF the most successful and widely
known Catholic missionaries among the
Germans in America.

The Split in the ParneII Party.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-At this afternoon
no reply had been received from Dillon and
O'Brien. The strained relations between
the two sections of the Parnellite party
are becoming more marked. Parnell,s SUP
porters complain that his opponents are
using unusual modes against him. They
believe the American delegates have been
misled and have cabled warning them not
to accept the first version of the meeting
as correct and describing the proceedings
from their own point of view The op-
ponents of Parneu take it for granted that
O'Connor Sullivan and Harrington will
follow the lead of O'Brien aud Dillon and
unite in an attempt to depose Parnell.
They think ellis support on this move
ment is doubtful. They consider Parnell
has been totally misinformed regarding the
views of the Irish people generally They
believe his manifesto will decrease his hold
upon the country and further damage his
position. His opponents are preparing a
counter manifesto. Gladstone today held
a conference with Earl Spencer and
Arnold Morley.
Both the supporters and opponents Of
Parnell in the Irish parliamentary party
have agreed not to hold meetings or begin
popular agitation regarding the National
ist leadership until after the meeting Mon
day.

The Formation of a New Associa.
ton is Progress.
1T is THE SCHEME OF JAY GOULD.
The Clearing House Plan is Incorporated
The Arrangement is Very Similar to
the Pooling System.

lopeclal 10 IHE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The great compact
among the western railroads will be exc
cuted within few days. 1t will be the
most extensive arrangement of the kind
ever formulated. All the roads engaged in
the through competitive traffic west of
Chicago will be parties to it. If there are
any dissenting roads they will be denied
proratlng privileges until they fall into
line. The compact, in effect, will be the
same as the old trunk line pool The total
traffic will be divided among the roads by
percentages. and clearing house will be
established, to which the business of the
roads Will be reported Any road which
carries more than its percentage will have
10 pay over the excess to the pool and any
road which falls short of its percentage
VIII have its deficiency made up. There
VII be two ways of settling differences.
One Will be by dlverting traffic to roads
which fall under their percentages, and
announcer will be by paying over money to
make up differences where the first plan is
lmpractlcable. Differential rates will be
allowed to roads less advantageously stu
ated, IN order that they may secure in the
natural course of traffic their allotted mod
icum.
The scheme is the idea of jay Gould.
His reposession of the Union Pacific rail
road puts him IN position to enforce 1t as
tnat road Is the key to the situation. The
compact will not alone comprise pooling of
traffic but will have bearing on the con-
structlon OF new lines in the territory en-
braced by the roads that sign it. No road
Will be allowed to make extensions without
the consent of the executive committee
consisting of representatives from all the
roads. The compact is to last for five years
according to the present plan. Although
the provisions of the interstate commerce
law seem to conflict with the arrangement
1t is said they can be overcome 1t is pro-
posed, however, to ask for an amendment
to the law which will remove all possible
obstacles to the scheme

BEYOND ALL COMPARE.
Grover Cleveland is the Popular Candidate in
the Southwest, Says Henry George.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch I
New YORK, Nov. 2S.-Henry George has
returned from his election trip throughout
Texas. That he is plased over the Dem
ocratic tidal wave goes without saying. He
said to reporter to-day that the elections,
particularly in the southwest have graft
fed the people and caused them to look to
the future with more confidence. "Of
course the ultimate effect of the breaking
up of the Republican party" said MIR.
George, and the triumph of the Demo
cratic party will be the breaking up of the
solid south. and the running of political
lines irrespective of sectional
divisions, but that has not vet
not yet come. There is protectionism in
Texas and in other growing states of the
south that may by and by show itself in
politics"
"Is Grover Cleveland the choice of the
southwest" was asked.
Clearly and decidedly. The demand for
free coinage of silver seems to have great
strength in the southwest and this would
naturally dispose those who advocate it to
seek some other candidate than Mr.. Cleve-
land, but in spite of this, from all l could
learn, Mr.. Cleveland is beyond all compare

1t was reported this afternoon that
Jamison was interested to a considerable
amount in the ST. Paul and Minneapolis
Mortgage and Trust company which was
organized last year. The firm really has
been in trouble several months and has
been trying to extricate itself from Diff
ficulty. During the money squeeze in
August it came very near going under,
but it was helped out and enabled to go on.
For some time past conservative brokers
have avoided transactions with Jamison s.
Co., believing the firm had too much money
tied up in outside enterprises.

A CIRCUS IN A CHURCH.
Presbyterian Minister Scores Harrison in
Thanksgiving Prayer and is Kissed.


Especial to THE HERALD-Examner Dispatch
MARTINS FERRY, O., Nov. 2S.-There was
quite circus here yesterday in the Pres
byterian church. The occasion was the
union services of all the evangelical
churches. A large congregation crowded
the building and all went well until nearly
the close of the ceremonies. Rev. A. E.
Brownlee, strict Presbyterian, was the
minister chosen to offer the closing prayer
He did himself proud and astonished every
body. Said he: ''The President has weakly
and wickedly neglected to make mention of
Jesus Christ in his Thanksgiving proclama-
ton." He then went on to hint that the
President was deserving of all the rewards
which good Presbyterians believe will &C
crue to the wicked. The Republicans
present Kissed. When the services were
over they crowded around the reverned
gentleman, and he passed very unpleasant
quarter of an hour. The secret of the
prayer is said to be simple. Rev. Brown
lee used to be dyed-in-the-wool Republi-
can. He has recently become convert to
the Prohibitionists.

Il considered that Morley's proposal that
we should allow ourselves to be absorbed
into English politics was one based upon
an entire mlsconception of our position. In
conclusion, Morley directed nv intention
to the plan of compaign of estates. He
said 1t would be impossible for the Liberal
party, when it attained power, to do any
thing for those evicted tenants by direct
action, and 1t would also be i'm
possible for an Irish parliament,
under the powers conferred, to
DO anything tor them, and flinging up
his hands il a gesture of despair, he ex-
clalmec: Having been in Tipperary, do
not know what to propose 1 told him
this question was limited one; funds,would
be available from America and elsewhere
for the support of those tenants as long as
necessary, and this difficulty should not be
allowed to interfere with the general in
terestS OF the country"
Parnell says he alludes to this matter
only because within the last four days
strong argument for his expulsion has been
presented. Unless the Liberals come into
power at the next election, the plan of
campaign OF the tenants would suffer. He
has shown the Libersls propose to do
nothing for them by direct action, and is
entitled to ask that the existence of these
tenants whom he has supported in every
way III tlS past anu Will commune TO sup
port, will not constitute reason for his ex-
pulsion from Irish politics. Parnell says
that during the ten years of independence
OF the Irish parliamentary party, it has,
because Of its Independence, forced upon
the English people the necessity of
granting home rule to Ireland.
He believes the party will obtain
home rule provided it remains independent
OF any English party. In conclusion, he
says: II do not believe any action of the
Irish people in supporting me will endanger
the nome rule cause or postpone the estab-
llshment of an Irish parliament. But even
if the danger were to be realized, L believe
the Irish people throughout the world
would agree with me that postponement
would be preferable to compromise of our
national rights by the acceptance of a meas
ure that would not realize the aspirations
of our race

Complaints of parnelrs supporters.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Parnells supporters
complain that after the Nationalist meet
ing OF Wednesday cable dispatches giving o
misleading summary of the proceedings
were sent privately to the Irish delegates
in America. They assert that intrigues
are on foot in the lobby of the house of
commons to draw away Dillon, O'Brien
and other delegates from support of Par
nell. The anti-Parnell members of the
Nationalist are more hopeful and assert
that private kilograms from ireland say the
priests and masses of the people support
them. They claim if Dillon and OiBrien
throw in their lot with Sexton and HeaIy
the forces against Parnell as they are ex-
pected to do, the tide of opinion against
Parnen will be irresistible.

the friendly regard of the president and
people OF the United States of Brazil We
welcomed her to the family of American
commonwealth with profound interest and
with the strongest hopes that her govern

prosperity which come, as we believe, in
the highest degree from the representative
civil institutions which our people enioy
and which yours have now adopted. We
are glad to receive you and your squadron
into our hospitable ports, and am glad to
receive you and your officers to the hospit-
ality of the executive mansion. We trust
the friendly relations so early and so aus
piciously begun between these sister re-
publlcs may be unbroken and may be to the
mutual advantage Of both''
After these ceremonies the visitors were

served, however, including terrapin.
oysters, fish, salads and jellies, with cham
payne, claret and sherries. 1t was served
standing. 1t was after 3 o'clock when the
party separated.
