to predict the date Of the adjourn

Secretary Blaine has not the
slightest idea Of resigning, al
though the democrats are busy
ing themselves circulating a silly
rumor that he intends resigning
if Congress does not do something
towards carrying out his recipro-
city ideas. Mr.. Blaine
is by no means alone
in those ideas; they are shared
by the President, every member
of the cabinet except one, and by
many of the most eminent republi-
can members of both House and
Senate; but if Congress does not
see fit to carry them out by the
necessary legislation Mr.. Blaine is
not the man to resign; he knows
that he is in no way responsible
for legislation.

NEWTON. L, L., Sept. l5.-Another
step in the development of the Infamous
Claus baby butchery case was taken this
forenoon in Police Justice Howard s
court. 1t was the arraignmeut of three
New York mid wives as accessories with
Charles and Catherine Claus on criminal
abandonment of divers children under
two years OF age. Bail was fixed in each
case at Sll 900. The prisoners were de-
cidedly nervous and i'll at ease. Intense
interest was manifested in to-day's pro-
ceedings because of the fact that bodies
of three more babies in addition to the
two dead ones and dying child found last
Thursday in Claus house, were disoov-
cred in the bottom of Maui
rice's pond just back of the famous
baby farm. The pond had been thor
oughIy pumped out by the Maspeth fire.
company yesterday and it was then that
the decomposed remains of three little
miserables were found. Besides the
three bodies, numerous fragments of
lime and portions of skulls were also dis
covered, and these not unlocked for
Developments gave rise TO suspicious that
in all likelihood many other bodies could
now be found in adjoining ponds and
stagnant pools in the immediate neigh
borhood of the Claus house. Maurice's
pond will be dragged again by the Mas
peth fremen, and the second raking Is
expected to produce additional startling
evidence of this atrocious series of crimes.
The conditions under which the bodies of
the murdered infants were found shows
that determined efforts were made to SO
effectually dispose of the remains that
identification would be impossible. The
fragile little bones were enveloped in
sacks and quantities of quick lime we're
shoveled in to take away their last YES
tige, then weighted with heavy stones
they were hurled into the pond and sank,
as the Clauses supposed, entirely beyond
the sight of man.

wide difference of opinion among the members
of the brotherhood regarding the advisability OF
the move, while again there are hundreds who
favor this scheme. So evenly divided are the
expressions on either side OF the question that
the editor of the brotherhood organ refrains
from editorial comment. The engineers have
heretofore considered themselves au aristocracy

thorough has this feeling become in them tn at
all offers looking to a federation have been

cripple railroad in such manner as to pre-

and have been less naughty. The recent strike
Of the New York Central has intensified the

strike of the engineers on any road would
scarcely meet with the support of the railway

MORE RATE CUTTING.

The Big Four and the o. and NJ Lines

The Ohio and Mississippi and the Big Four
lines have declared war against old rates and
each other. and are now engaged in the expen-
siye amusement of sashing and cutting at
lively rate. As usual the trouble between the
two roads grew out OF charges OF bad faith on
both sides. The first cut was made by the o.
and NJ. by putting the rate between Cincinnati
and II. Louis at Sc, the regular rate being SO.
This was met by the Big Four, and the o. and
NJ now announces rate of 81 between the two
cities. As soon as the Big Four can give the
usual three DAYS notice this rate Will also be
net, and there is no telling how far the war may
90. D. B. Martin. general passenger agent of
the Big -Four, sums up the situation as follows:
Our side of the case is this: The Ohio and
Mississippi has been cutting the rates through
scalpers and increasing their already large pro-
portion OF the business thereby. As we wanted
10 Fight the enemy with his own weapons we
took similar measures. This was discovered by
the Ohio and Mississippi general passenger de-
pariment, and the result is Gen. Shattuc has
announced an open rate. which we will meet,
and we will stick by him this time until the snow
I!es IL necessary. They had picnic on st.

that the Big Four has been cutting the rate
through sea pers, and IL the rate is to be lowered

openly
