Chicago Interstate Exposition.

The Eighteenth Annual Exposition
of this organization will open Sept. 8,
and close Oct. IS. Our information
gives assurance that the preparatory
work is completed. All the available
space in the immense building is fully
occupied. The novelty and high char
acter of the exhibits in every depart
ment of industry, art and science make
the exhibition, as whole, seem more
like rehearsal ofthe World Fair than
like an ordinary local event. The dis
play of electric lights by the "Sun Elec-
trio" and the Edison" companies sur
pass anything of the sort heretofore
seen in America, and is worth a jour-
ney to see. The Art galleries contain
the best collection ever made in this
country, aggregating value of nearly
half million of dollars.
All western railways transport pass
engers at excursion rates.

You can go to your store

or three weeks, return it, and
get your money again, if it
isn't exactly right.
The reason is that this

rather the maker behind him,
takes the risk of the tenth.

Judge Sloan Supports Hoard and the
Bennett Law.

"What is your opinion of the Demo
cratic ticket and platform Judge A.
Scott Sloan, of Beaver Dam, was asked
as he was about to take the train for
home yesterday.
Il am too thoroughly disgusted with
the whole thing to say anything about
it!' was the prompt reply.
"Does that feeling seem to be general
among Democrats where you have
been?"
"Quite SO. [ have seen nearly every
prominent Democratic attorney in my
circuit since the convention, some of
whom were outspoken in their dissent
from the platform adopted by their
party, and there seemed to be hardly
anyone among them to defend either
their party ticket or the platform de
clarations on the school question. One
leading Democratic attorney of Dodge
county made the prediction that Peck
would have fewer votes now in Dodge
county than did Morgan two years ago.
How mnch the Lutheran detection
from the Republican ticket will reduce
their vote, it is impossible to judge
now, but l hope there will be enough
sensible, right-thinking Democrats
who will stand by the Republicans on
this school question to more than coun-
terbalance any losses they may sustain
by reason of their advocacy of the prin-
ciples of the Bennett law. Gov. Hoard
has taken a manly and courageous
position on this question and deserves
the support of every patriotic citizen.

CLEVELAND. February LAT the meeting OF
the Cleveland League Club directors to-day,
President Robson got up and stated that it
had been variously reported in this city and
elsewhere that the Cleveland League Club was
about to quit
II am sure" said he. 'that this is not the
sentiments of the Board of Directors. and
think that it is time stop was put to this busi-
ness which is hurting us abroad as well as at
home" His remarks were unanimously
agreed to- and before the meeting
adjourned steps were not only taken
to strengthen the, club for the coming
season, but put it upon strong basis for 1891.
Secretary Hawley said that the Detroit club
had made an offer for the Cleveland franchise.
In reply two days ago. price was put upon it
about three times larger than that offered by
Detroit To-day Hawley telegraphed Detroit
that the Cleveland club not only would not
lower Its figures, but did not care to sell at
any price. The matter of bringing suits against
the players was left in the hands of Messrs.
that case would probably be brought against
only one man.
1--WE cont want any man." said he, ''who
does not want to play with us. Our only OBJ
ject in bringing this suit is to ascertain how
the League contract stands in relation to the
courts of Ohio" To-day's meeting of the
League club was the most enthusiastic ever
held in this city. A deal for a crack catcher
is said to be on foot.

Some Of the Possible Re.

LendlnR Lawyers Take No Stock in the An
archiars Appeal TO the Supreme Court
Some Of the Possible Re-
suits of the Case.
CHICAGO, February 7.-Leading lawyers
here in interviews say that in their judg-
ment the imprisoned Anarchists can receive
no benefit whatever the decision of the
United States Supreme Court may be; that
there is no claim of error in the lower
courts, and that if the Federal court holds
that the prisoners should have been present
in the Supreme Court when the sentence of
the lower court was affirmed, its effect will
merely be to send the prisoners before that
tribunal for reafirmation of the sentence
of the lower court The lower court SEN
fenced them to be hanged, and if that point
is sustained they would have to undergo
that penalty unless they could again pre-
vail on the Governor to commute their sem
tences, as was done by the Governor in for
mer case.
States Attorney Longenecker, when asked
for his opinion on the subject, said: "There
is nothing in it, for the reason that the
defendants had their day in court. They
had their constitutional rights in the Grim
inal Court of Cook county. The Supreme
Court simply passes on the case tried in the
lower court. 1t is simply court of review.
There can be no new evidence introduced
for or against the petitioners, and all the
Supreme Court can do is to see if the lower
court committed errors, and il cannot rem
der final judgment. 1t can only reverse,
and il the errors are not such as to confirm
conviction they are remanded to the lower
court for trial"
A dispatch from Springfield, ILL.,, in re-
gard to the matter says: This question has
never before been raised in the annals of the
country, and hence the action of the United
States Supreme Court will be eagerly
awaited. Should 1t decide that the right ex-
lists to prisoners to be present in the State
Supreme Court when final judgment is
passed, then not only Fielden, Schwsb and
Neebe get new trial. but Spies. Persons,
Fischer and Engel illegally suffered the
death penalty, and every inmate of the pris-
ons of the State whose case has received an
affirmative Judgment in the State Court
without the prisoner being present in person
has been illegally imprisoned.

ter Again Postponed by Councils.
The Committee on Street Railroads. OF
Allegheny, met last night. The meeting
was called at the instance of the Pittsburg,
Allegheny and Manchester officials, who
stated that the ordinance agreed on at the
last meeting of the committee had been re-
iected by their Board of Directors, who
objected to the part in which the company
were compelled, not only to pave between
the track, but also a foot on each side.
President Hunter, of Common Council.
stated that the ordinance was asking more
from them than any other company.
Mr.. Ammon moved that section of the
ordinance be amended as the company de-
sired. This meant to pave only one foot on
each side of their tracks. Mr.. Muehl-
bronner opposed this, saying that the
ordinance was all right.
Mr.. Dalzell, of the Pittsburg, Allegheny
and Manchester line, remarked that they
were not asking anything too much.
Chairman McAfee suggested that the COM
pany was a long time about paving their
tracks. The Union line had promised to do
the same thing when they got their ordi-
nance through Councils, shut as yet failed to
do the paving. The ordinance was finally
amended that in case the company decided
to construct an electric line they should only
pave on each side of the tracks, but in case a
cable line was put in they should pave all
between the tracks.
Mr.. Lowe wanted the company to issue
transfer tickets at the corner of Ohio and
Federal streets, and no greater fare than 3
cents be charged on any line and no extra
fare for transfer tickets. Mr.. Neeb also
wanted transfer tickets at the corner of
Lacoek and Federal streets. Mr.. Dalzell
stated that if SUCH a section was inserted
the company would not accept the ordi-
nance. The transfer ticket was one that
had been tried in different cities and would
not work. Finally on motion of Mr.. Hunter,
the entire matter was laid over for one week.

the absence of race meetings in Pittsburg. he
said:
''I figure out that in consequence of no meet

for trotting and pacing colts as at present, but
breeders in and about Pittsburg have little or
no opportunity to get their youngsters before
the public; at least if they do they have to take

rsPEc1A1 TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
SrEUBENvILLE,O o., February 1.-THE tragedy
at Mineo junction is assuming grave proper
tions. The Coroner's inquest this morning de-
veloped some startling circumstantial evidence.
Frank Smith, of Wellsburg W. Va, is now in
jail upon suspicion of having caused her death.
The attendant physicians state that the yUung
woman evidently died of arseDical poison. The
remains of the girl were sent home this after
noon. Mr.. and Mrs. John Simpson. the girls
parents reside at New Bethany, W. Va.
Frank Smith was interviewed in jail this af-
ternoon. He is % years of age, The girl was
"a. He at first refused to talk without the con-
sent of his attorney, but on being pressed said
he was innocent Of the charge OF having caused
the girls death.
Another letter has been found, not hereto
fore published. It was written to Dear Friend
Frank" on February 2 Among other things it
says:
Il forgot to take that medicine you sent me,
but will take some of it now and go to bed and
maybe it will keep me from taking the grip"
Bella's mother testified that Smith came to
see her daughter on Tuesday and that when
Bella would ask for water he would 60 out and
get it for her, and instead of sitting the glass
down would take it out again. This she re-
CARDS as suspicious.
Justice Love sent Constable Aultto Mingo to-
night, and had Smith brought here and placed

4 CALL FOR SLEIGHS.

Liverymen Ordered TO Get Out Their Cutters
and Were Disappointed.
The anxiety of the people for a good fall
of snow was illustrated yesterday by an i'm
mediate call for sleighs as soon as the snow
began to show signs of resting on the
ground. Several liverymen received orders
for the evening, by telephone and otherwise.
But the expectations of the people were
rudely shattered.
After about three inches of white cover
ing had fixed itself upon the streets, the
snow soon turned TO rain and made the side
walks slippery sloppy and miserable. The
sleighrides fondly hoped never came, and
the prospective sleigh-riders were disap-
pointed. The Iiverymen looked very glum
as they watched the feecy fakes disappear
ing and thought OF what might have been.
