Belleville, y. J., is excited about a con-
test that is reported to have occurred in the
basement of Maj. Michael O'Day's saloon
on Cortlandt street on Christmas morning.
The principals refused to tell the story. but
TINS Is the account that is current:
Maj. O'Day, who received his title for
exemplary service after the disastrous bat
Tile OF Little Big Horn, came into proml-
Lence II Belieyille about a wear ago by
constituting himself chief of police. an
ONCE unknown IN the town, and organizing
a posse to patrol the streets at night. Rob
oerles were of such frequent occurrence
Ina. the citlzens readily entered into the
project and soon drove away the thieves.
TOT the last SIX months peace and quiet
nave relgned in the town, and the citzens
have been loud in their praises Of the major.
ODay has accepted the plaudits of the peo-
pie as something to which ne was entitled
RIVAL.
But there was one man who was not mar
tlcularly impressed with the greatness of
the old warrior. He Is known throughout
the township as Capt. James Riordau.
and claims to have Often shifted the smoke
from a cannon on the field OF battle. Be-
tween the major and the captain a jealousy
has existed for some months, and when the
latter entered tine Cortlandt street estAb-
lishment on Wednesday morning it was evi-
dent that trouble was pending between the
two.
Casting a meaning glance at O'Day, the
captain lounged into a chair and b gan an
attack upon the alleged bravery of people
who had never handled sword. The
major replied hotly, and then dared the
other to fight him duel with swords as
weapons.
Riordan accepted the challenge, and the
people IN the barroom suggested the deserted
bowling alley beneath the building as the
place In which to settle the question of their
respective merits. O'Day took down pair
Of sabres from behind the bar, and the
principals having accepted Col Thomas
OCoanor as second to both. the entire
party, dozen or more, adjourned to the
basement.

Associated Press Dispatches
SAN FRANCISCO, August "A Wash
ington special says: The war department
has received the court-martial docu-
ments in the case of Miltimore, Wham,
Towar and Kimball, the army officers
recently tried at Tucson, Arizona. 1t is
understood that the charge against Mil
timore of the fraudulent rental of his pri
vate property to the government at ex-
orbitant figures, was not sustained by
the court-martial. It is understood
he is found guilty Of charg-
ing the government $3.50 for
typewriter which was never bought.
The evidence adduced shows that the
man whose name was signed to the gov
ernment voucher never sold the type
writer. At Captain Miltimore's request
he had signed blank voucher. 1t is
understood that upon his conviction in
this latter instance Captain Miltimore is
dismissed from the army. 1t is under
stood that both Wham and Towar,
charged with Irregularities in the rent
ing of apartments to the government,
have been acquitted. Major Kimball,
who was charged with neglect of duty,
is sentenced to reprimand.

eliminated many of its errors. He
could see the game at battledore and
shuttlecock between free trade and pro-
lection constantly going on for political
advantage on one side and personal ad-
vantage on the other; and between the
extremes the great body of the Ameri-
can people were being crushed and
ground. He would apply the rule that
whoever demanded tax for his own ben
eft. should be ready to show conclusively
that his interest was also the public in
terest.
Sherman Wants Crockery Protected.
Sherman replied to Plumb. He con-
Cured with the senator in the state
ment that no proposition to tax the
people should be supported unless there
was good ground for it. He went on to
speak of the growth of the crockery in
dustry in the United States, and said
such an industry was not to be ignored
and not to be refused any reasonable de-
mand. The prices of chinaware were
less now than the duties were ten years
ago.
Vest modified his amendment by
making it to reduce the duty on dec
Grated china to so per cent. ad valorem;
on plain, white china to 40 per cent, in
stead OF 80 and 55 per cent. as in the
house bill, and 55 and so as proposed by
the finance committee. The amend
ment was discussed pro and con at
length.
German thanked Allison for his frank
statement.
General Tariff Discussion.
After further discussion of the china
ware paragraph, George took the floor
and made long speech on the general
subject of tariff.
Platt replied and denounced an asser-
tion made by George to the effect that
while the duty on steel rails was $l1
ton, the labor in producing the article
cost only $1.54. The fact was, if the
production of a ton of steel cost $24, the
labor portion of that cost was not only
$1.54, but ten times that amount.
Jones, of Arkansas, supported Georges
statement about steel rails, and also
spoke on the chinaware matter, apropos
of which he read from a paper report
from Findlay, Ohio, as to the pur-
chase by an English syndicate OF various
glassware factories, and said the effect of
tariff legislation was to encourage such
trusts and syndicates.
Reagan warned the senators that the
Farmers Alliance and the workingmen's
associations were not to be ignored.
A conference was ordered on the sun
dry civil appropriation bill.
At 5 O'Clock Aldrich, intending to move
adjournment, proposed that vote on
the pending question be taken Monday
without further discussion.
"Take vote now; we are ready; we
are always ready to vote as soon as dis
cussion is over" were responses from
several senators on the Democratic side.
Aldrich did not think there was quo
rum present, but he was willing to try,
SO vote was taken ON Vests amend
ment, and the result was Yeas, II;
nays, 20; no quorum. Paddock and
Plumb voted with the Democrats.
The senate then adjourned.
House Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, August 2.-The house

The Remains of Both to Be Removed
from Gotham.

The Remains of Both to Be Removed
from Gotham.
WASHINGTON, August 2.-The acting
secretary of the havy has sent COM
munication to the commandant at the
New York navy yard, stating that the
depart 3 ent has fixed the 23d of August
as the time for the embarkation of the
remains of the late John Ericsson for
transportation to his native country, on
board the United States ship Baltimore.
In his letter the acting secretary says
'It is the departments desire to sur
round the embarkation with every
circumstance that can invest it
with dignity and solemnity. All
the vessels of war that may
be available will be assembled
in New York, and will be directed to
unite with you in paying to the de-
ceased the honors befitting his rank and
distinguished name. The department
has invited all associations composed of
friends, companions or former country
men of Captain Ericsson to take part in
the procession to the cemetery.
In the senate, this afternoon, Plumb
offered concurrent resolution, and
asked that it lie over until Monday :
"That congress desires the removal of
the remains of the illustrious soldier
and statesmen U. S. Grant to, and there
interment in, the Arlington national
cemetery, and that the president be re-
quested to convey to the widow such
desire, rendering to her, on behalf of the
nation, all necessary facilities for such
removal and interment."

FORT SMITH, Ark, Dec. 12.-Mrs. John
Miller, one of the victims of Charles Jop-
Inns murderous gun yesterday, died this
morning of her wounds and this evening
father, mother and daughter were all
buried at the same time. At last accounts
the body of the murderer, Joplin, was still
lying where it fell. no IL having touched
it. DR.. Stewart was also buried this after.
noon and the body of Dull, Joplin's first
victim, still lies in the morgue in this city.
Joplin has a wife somewhere in Missouri
and an uncle named Joe Halter at SPRING
field, III. An investigation brings to light
the fact that Joplin Seduced Miss Miller
and called On DR.. Stewart to commit an
abortion. DR.. Stewart refused and told of
the affair. 1t was reported that Joplin was
going to be arrested for seduction, which
seems to have worked IN his mind to such
an extent it almost set him wild. He told
Texas, but in place of doing that, he Shout
dered his gun and started for Jenny Lind,
twelve miles from this city, on foot. When
he reached that place lie went direct to
Stewards store and when the latter saw
him coming, he grabbed his Winchester
and as Joplin entered he presented Hit and
pulled the trigger, but the gun failedt to fire,
and he was shot instantly by Jopli4, who
put three loads into his victim. W. then
proceeded to Miller's and after t.ooting
the father, "'other and daughter, fred one
shot at a t\tiSS -ycs>', old daughter as
she ran off, shooting her in
the hand. He then placed the muzzle of

ously. Dull. his first victim, has a wife in
Cheney, kas., and his mother lives at
Charleston, kas. He had been visiting rel
atives in the lower part of the state and
was on his way home. Joplin has been in
this section for some months, working in
the Jenny Lind coal mines and was we'll
thought of. He was a fine specimen of
physical manhood and was known as one
of the best shots in the west.

PENSION OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, Dec. II, 1890.
Hon. E. n. Morrill,:
l have just concluded examining claims
to December 6 under the new act. There
are 1911, 946 original claims, 55,329 original
widow claims and 298,330 claims filed by
old claimants. This is regarded as a re-
markably good outcome. This gives only
227, 900 new claims filed under the late law.
(Signed) GREENE B. RAUM,
Commissioner.
Morrill, regards this statement as evil
dence that the expenditure for pensions
under the new act will be much less thar
was anticipated and that there will be a
considerable saving to the government
growing out of the fact that arrears cannot
be collected on applications for pensions
filed under the new act,

The Liberal UniOnists' Manifesto.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE executive com
mittee of the Liberal Unionist association
has issued a long manifesto, which con-
cludes as follows: "Parnell and Parnellites
have always been all uDtrustworthy body
upon whose pledges no reliance could be
placed and whose parliamentary antece-
dents made them unfit and unsafe allies
for any great party, and the recent events
must have forced this consideration upon
the minds of many home-rulers. No dis
tinctiOn can be made between Parnell and
his adherents and the majority Of his party
who seek to depose him. The latter con-
doned his delinquencies and accepted his
policy and now make a sacrifice of him as
a means of eXtorting fresh terms from their
allies The mistake British home-rulers
made was in allowing themselves to be
convinced that either the methods or OBJ
jects Of the Irish revolution had changed.
Neither the Parnellite faction nor the Sse-
ceders will ever accept home rule without
a mental reservation for absolute separa.
ton and complete Irish independence.
Any scheme for home rule based upon
other Irish declarations is, and always has
been, illusory.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Capt. G. Conrad, in a
report received by General Miles to-day,
says LOO Indians at the Yankton Sioux
agency are receiving rations enough now
for barely two days out of seven and are
starving. The crops have failed them, ow-
ing to drought, and though they are will

tainable for such a number during the

many of them old and d%ecrepit, of both
exes,a are so famished that they cannot re-
sist eating at once practically all that they
receive, notwithstanding another supply Of
food is not due for a week. Captain Con-
rad adds, it is a standing complaint that
these same Indians have $l,750 owing them
for railroad right of way locked up in the
United States treasury and that individu-
ais among them are still unpaid for SER
vices rendered the government as far back
