Vie clOsiRg of the passenger station at
North Ashary Park ON Monday bg the
New York and Long Branch Railroad
Company has caused considerable dis
satisfaction eunong the residents of that
portion OF 'the borough. The station is
located near Sixth avenue, between the
stations at Asbury Park and Interlaken.
It is emaH, one-story structure. and
was patronized extensively by the North
Asbury Park people, many of whom
hold Communication tickets between that
place and New York. When they learn.
ed that the station was to be closed they
protested against it. but their words fell
heedlessly on the ears of the railroad
officials. Although the Interlaken sta.
tion is much nearer than the one at AS.
bury Park these commuters have decid.
ed to boycott it and now take the train
from Asbnry Park.

A Fine Point Decided.

CHICAGO, July 23.-Judge Tuley
this morning decided that a mans fam
lily did not only consist of his wife and
children, but of all those who lived
together under his roof tree and under
his control. The decision was made
in the Catholic order of Foresters
against William Munhall, the executor
of the estate of Father Michael Hor-
gan, who died September 7, 1889.
Father Horgan was a member of the
order and had the policy for 81, 900
made payable to his mother Catherine
Corcoran. In the year 1887 Mrs. Cor
coran died and two years later Father
Horgan passed away, leaving will in
which he bequeathed the policy for
81, 900, which had been made in his
mothers name, to Margaret DAILY, his
housekeeper.
Margaret DAILY says that the priest
had often borrowed money from her
and her sister Ellen. At the time of
his death he was indebted to her to
the amount of 5000 or 500. The
Catholic order of Foresters, however.
refused to pay the ST. 600 to Margaret
DAILY because the policy was made pay
able to Mrs. Corcoran, who was dead.
and on the ground that the purpose of
the society was to care for the widow
and family of the deceased.
There is also clause in the consti-
tuition of the society which reads: ..Or
the dependents of the family Judge
Tuley said he thought a mans family
meant more than merely his wife and
children. If not" said he, .'how
could Catholic priest become n men,
Der of such an order? | am inclined
to believe the meaning of tho word
family takes in all those who live I'M
der one roof and are governed by one
authority. Thus servants are members
of the family. Therefore l must de-
eide in favor of Margaret Daily and or
der the policy to be paid to her."

Against the Corporations.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, July pa bill
in equity was yesterday filed in the
United States circuit court against the
Northern Pacific railroad company, the
Western Union telegraph company and
the Northwestern telegraph company,
setting forth that the defendant cor
porators have failed TO carry out the
provisions of the acts of congress July
=, 1864, and April 10, 1869, in which
the railroad company was granted val
liable concessions from the United
States on lands to the amount of twenty
alternate sections through any state.
One of the provisions of the act was
that the railroad should erect and main
tain telegraph system. Subsequently,
the Northern Pacific made contracts
with the Western Union telegraph
company and the complaint alleges
that the contracts were beyond the
power of the railroad to make or telc-
graph company to receive and induced
by improper and corrupt consideration
and were against the public policy.
and in view of the rights of the United
States under the acts of congress the
court is therefore asked to annM the
contracts. The complaint is signed by
Attorney General Miller.

Will Look After the Murpbvs..

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Senator
Paddock and Congressman Connell
made another visit to the interior de-
partment in relation to the claim of the.
Murphys to rights as members of the
Sac and Fox tribes of Missouri Indians.
The secretary said that he would an
point special agent at once to pro-
coed to the reservation and take the.
necessary testimony to establish the
true situation of affairs, and that this
agent will conduct his INQUIRIES in n
spot remote from the reservation itself
In order that the utmost freedom can
be secured for the witnesses. In the
meantime the Nebraska delegation
will fight the house amendment to
the original senate bill common
~ known as the general allot-
ment bill. 1t is this bill which the
house committee amended so as to en-
tirely change its character. The en-
tire measure as it passed the senate,
was stricken out after the enactment
clause and in its place were added five
sections with several provisos which
have an entirely different effect from
that intended by the senate. The two
Kansas congressman, Messrs. Morril
and Perkin, seemed determined to
force the amended bill through, but in
the present state of feeling it can never
pass the senate as it was referred from
the house committee and it has not vet
passed the house.

TORONTO, Ont, July 25-The En-
pire, the chief government organ.
says: The diplomatic correspond
ence on the Behring sea question, pub
lished today, will be read with inter-
est, though it really contains little that
is new or that might not have been an
ticipated at least in the main outlines.
That Lord Salisbury maintained the
right of British subjects, including
Canadians, is proved beyond question.
secretary Blaine's course is not
surprising. His contentious craftily
avoid the main point, that the seizures
were contrary to international law, be-
ing outside territorial waters and
United States jurisdiction. All his le-
gends about Russian rights acquired,
his complaints of injuries done to.
United States interests and his claim to
insist upon the preservation of seals.
even If inaccurate, would be quite out
side the mark; for no amount of wrong
doing or loss would justify interference
outside the Jurisdiction.
He might as well assume to send
his police to Toronto to. make arrests
and seizures because some citizen of
the United States had been robbed.
But all this has been the United States
policy. The cessation of these high
handed outrages is not due to any
nelghborly feeling or fair play or any
respect for law and the rights of 9TH
ers but to the recognition of the fact
that that the end of British patience,
and forbearance has been reached

Plan for settling Rate Questions.

CHICAGO, July 24.-It is the unex-
pected which always happens, and it
happened yesterday in the meeting OF
the committee OF railroad officials APP
pointed to adopt plan OF settlement
by means of which east-bound rates
from the Missouri river can be raised.
The only method of settlement consid-
cred involved division OF traffic, and
in to-day's meeting the Northwestern
absolutely refused TO become party to
any such proposal, claiming it would
be illegal.
To thoroughly understand the situa-
ton 1t must be remembered that the
Alton reduced cattle and packing house
product rates nearly rs per cent from
Kansas City in order to meet the al
legged manipulations OF rates. Omaha
rates have in the main remained firm
and the struggle has been to restore
rates from Kansas City.
The Alton insists on an agreed di-
vision of the traffic before it consents
to advance rates. The st. Paul in
sists, as do the Rock Island and Atchi-
son, of division of the traffic at
Omaha as well as Kansas City. To
this the Northwestern to-day entered
a fiat refusal, claiming that the trouble
should be settled by the Kansas City
roads. 1t had no line to. that point
and saw no reason why it should prac-
tically nullify its traffic contract with
the Union Pacific.
1t was urged that large share of
the traffic from west of the river could
go either via Omaha or Kansas City
and consequently what applied at one
point must also at the other, but the
Northwestern would not yield. The
committee meets again tomorrow, but
its members are not as hopeful of a
settlement as they were.
The only chance now for an agree
ment is for the Atchison, Rock Island
and st. Paul to yield their demand for
a division of traffic at Omaha and con-
fine the plan exclusively to Kansas

War Declared in Central America.

New York. July 24.-Private dis.
patches received here, according to the
Herald, announced that war between
Guatemala and San Salvador was pre-
cipitated by the final refusal of the lat
ter to consent to the union of the FIVE
states, long talked Of A reply to this
effect was the signal for Guatemala to
invade San Salvador with armed troops.
The provisional president of San Sal
vador, General Ezeta, took command
OF his troops and routed the invaders.
So far as known only forty were killed.
Prompted by this defeat, 1000 Qua
temalans are advancing to reinforce
the routed ranks. Honduras, as the
alley OF Guatemala, is hurryii troops
forward. Nicaragua and Costa RIGA,
for prudential reasons, have allied
themselves with San Salvador.
Mexico, although repeatedly ap-
pcaled TO by San Salvador, both for
recognition and assistance, has not I'M
til now shown her hand. She has con-
centrated troops on tho Guatemala
frontier in the state of Chiapias. Or
ders have been issued by the Mex can
minister of war to these troops to in
wade Guatemalian territory in case
Guatemala should invade that of San
Salvador. Guatemala will appeal TO
the United States for the latter's pro-
lection as against Mexican interference.
CITY OF MEXICO. July PA special
from Guatemala says the ministers of
Costa RIGA and Nicaragua signed with
Guatemala treaty of alliance. They
demand of General Ezcta, in the name
of the United Central alliance:
l. That he leave the supreme COM
mand in San Salvador.
2. That the legal regime be cstab-
lished in accordance with the San Sal
vador constitution as before June %,
and date OF the assassination of Presi-
dent Menindez.
3. That q general amnesty be
granted TO all those who participated
in the revolutionary movement in San
Salvador. Honduras had bound her.
self to this alliance by previous
treaty with Guatemala.
Guatemala is daily increasing her
forces on the San Salvador frontier.
The commanders are commanded to
remain on the defensive. One general
disobeyed this order and has been sub
Jected to u court-martial.

MR. sTANLEY's CITIZENSHIP.
The Great Explorers Allegiance to the
United States.

The Great Explorers Allegiance to the
United States.
When an American flag was presented
to Henry NJ. Stanley at the reception
given to him by the Americans in Lon
don short time ago the great African
explorer said that he had always con-
sidered himself an American and citi.
zen of the United States, but the circum-
stances under which he became a citizen
are known to only few. Stanley was
naturalized in the superior court of New
York on May 10, 1885. A few days ago
Thomas Boese, the clerk of that court.
told Tribune reporter the circumstances
connected with the incident. "On the
date mentioned" said Mr.. Boese, "the
late A. s. Sullivan came into my office
and introduced me to Mr.. Stanley, who
wished to become citizen of the United
States. did not know that my visitor
was the great African explorer until he
had been in my Office some time. Stan
ley told me that he had always consid-
cred himself a citizen of the United
States, as he had served in the Union
army, and had been honorably dis
charged. While travelling in Europe.
however, he had met an American gen
tleman who had informed him that he
must go through the forms as provided
by statute before he became a citizen,
and the fact that he was an honorably
discharged soldier did not make him
citizen of the United States. Stanley
was about to depart for Africa at that
time, and told me that he had come from
London to New York especially to be
naturalized, and that only a few persons
knew that he was in this country. He
swore and produced witnesses who swore
that he had always considered himself
citizen of the United States, so he re-
ceived his certificate and departed "
Among the 300, 900 or 400, 900 autographs
which Mr.. Boese has attached to natur-
alization papers in his custody Stanley's
is the one which is probably priced the
highest.

paid to Boswell this morning. Late
last night Wood Brothers received the
following dispatch from the sheriff OF
Emmett county, Iowa:
Don't pay any money to Boswell.
Cattle stolen.
The police were at once notified and
detectives are waiting for Boswell TO
put in an appearance, but he has not
been seen about the stockyards since
then. A dispatch has been sent to the
Emmett county authorities asking for
further particulars.
Boswell was arrested shortly after
noon and is now locked up at the po-
licc station. He says the cattle are
mortgaged for 81, 200. He will go back
to Iowa without putting the officers to
any trouble.

ONE of the prime factors in the revi-
val OF business in this country is the
fact that Europe has not been so pros
porous In many years as at present.
Seldom does peace reign in Europe for
so long a time as since the last war.
In fact, there have been no recent
ravages OF war, though the cost of keep
ing men in ideness is something i'm
mense, and handicaps all Europe in
comparison with the freedom from
standing armies which prevails in the
United States.

France Is Ahead,

The latest comparison between the
armies of France and Germany places the
former ahead numerically, while the
latter is preparing to close up the gap
with the aid of recent law. France on
peace footing has $50, 548 men, and the
law of 8 years service, recently enacted,
permits her to add 900, 900 men to her
territorial army. Other reforms increase
the annual contingent by 10000 men,
and this brings it up to 22O,O 900. By count
ing the 25 contingents under the law with
their total losses. which are estimated at
one-quarter, the effective force for mo-
bilization amounts to .4,125,000. In
Germany the annual contingent is 1884,
600 recruits, 5000 yearly volunteers, and
II, 450 reserves, giving total for this
contingent of 100, 450. For the "a con-
tingents, and taking into account the
losses, we arrive at grand total on a
war footing of 3,350,cO0 men. Conse-
quently France could mobilize at the
present time $4,000 trained soldiers
more than GERMANY.

KEPT SILENT THIRTY YEARS.
A Georgia Woman EeligIousIy Keeps O
Vow Made to Her Husband.

A Georgia Woman T:eligIousIy Keeps O
Vow Made to Her Husband.
The death of Mrs. Susan +. Merrifield,
which occurred here yesterday, SAYS a
special from Americas, Ga, to the Phila-
delphia Times, revives interest in one of
the most peculiar cases ever known of a
vow of silence made AMI kept 80 years.
In 1860 Mrs. Merrifield, who, it is said,
was little woman of peculiarly bright
and cherry disp osltion, was telling her
husband of some occurrence, when he
requested her in very surly manner to
be silent, adding that the sound of her
voice was hateful to him.
1t seems that Mr.. Merrifield, while a
good husband in every other way, was
in the habit of venting his displeasure
when aroused by outside matters by ill
humor with his wife, whose good nature
usually passed his testiness by, but on
this occasion she replied that, as it was
hateful to him, he should never hear her
voice again. And he never did, nor did
any other person ever hear it. for, in
spite of her husbands remorse and re-
monstrances from friends and relatives,
Mrs. Merrifield kept her room, though
she continued to act the part of good
wife and mother, fulfilling every duty
scrupulously. She even bore three
children to her husband after this VOW
was taken. When communication was
absolutely necessary with those about
her she used slate, but reduced lam
guage of signs to such perfection in gov
erning her household and children that
it was but seldom that this slate was re-
sorted to.
1t was thought that when her husband
died she would resume the use of her
speech, but while she sat by his dying
bed, devoted and loving to the last, in
answer to his supplications that she
speak but word to him, wrote on the
slate with all the evidences of grief: Il
can not, l can not! God forgive and help
me. / can not!" But whether it was
that she found it impossible to break her
will and her vow, on that long disuse had
affected her organs SO that she really
could not use them, could not be arrived
at, but her family inclined to the latter
belief, for it is said that while she was on
her own deathbed she made distinct but
Intellectual efforts to speak to her chill
dren, dying with the seal of silence unre-
moved from her lips.
