General Early and Major Lacey.

Especial to THE He RALD-Examiner Dispatch
FREDERICKSBURG, Va, July Trouble is
rapidly brewing between General Jubal
Early and Major j. Horace Lacey, who was
one of General Holmes staff officers in the
confederate army. The trouble is the out
come of the bitter Malone campaign.
Major Lacey authorized the statement that
just after the war General Lee had said in
his presence that had it been necessary to
choose successor to himself he would have
chosen Malone. General Early took oc-
casion to contradict the statement, and it
was reported that at a meeting of the two
at the monument unwilling at Richmond
Major Lacey accosted General Early, but
was rebuffed by the latter with the state
ment that he did not desire to recognize \
man who had published a SANDER on Cen
eral Lee, which published report in regard
to the meeting of General Early and Major
Lacey at the unwilling ceremonies called
Major Lacey's attention to General Earlv's
card. Major Lacey said:
Recently Early published a card in
which he said he had no recollection Of
meeting Lacey at the unwilling of the monu-
ment but was not disposed to deny the cor

reporter OF the paper: "Your statement
is correct. Early treated nae as you
described and l would have resented it at
the time but for his drunken and irrespon-
slble condition. l shall answer Early's
card and show what manner of man he is.
| shall show up his record as confederate
commander, how he acted as commissioner
for Phil Sheridan in the valley, and how
utterly worthless he was during the war.
@ OF 1nr1t r,nl l00,,+ I
Malone was a truthful one and will not
permit man of Early's character and rep
utation to insult me without such resent
ment as gentleman should show.'
Major Lacey left town without present
ing his reply for publication, but it is ex-
pected his card will APPEAR in next Fri
days edition. His arrangement of Early
will undoubtedly be a most severe one, and
it is thought that Early will either resent
it in an unusual way or that he will reply
in terms that will end in conflict between
the two eX- confederates.

MILFORD, July T.-[Specia telegram to
THE HERALD. About 1215 to-day the
town was shaken by sudden explosion in
the freight depot. A quantity of giant and
other powder was stored there which sud
denly and without any cause that can be
ascertained exploded. The shock was ter
rife and the great house was almost blown
to pieces. In an instant the entire build
ing was enveloped in flames and all efforts
to save were fruitless. The loss of
goods in storage is very heavy, amounting
to many thousands of dollars. The wind
was blowing hard from the southwest and
it was only by prolonged and vigorous eff
forts that the round house and long train
of cars were saved. There were several
narrow escapes and except for the fact
that the clerks, warehouse men and hands
had just started to dinner, several lives
would doubtless have been lost. The men
sitting on the platform were thrown in all
directions and it seems a miracle that nc
one was injured. The railroad company
lost all their books and records and had it
not been for the heroic efforts of G. w.
Sabine chief clerk, and Fred Savage,
warehouseman, the money and tickets
would have gone also. In making second
effort to save the records Mr.. Savage was
blown from the ofice window by second
blast and was slightly bruised.

IN OMAHA TRAGEDY.
A Mere Lad Accidentally Shoots a
Boy in the Head.
GENERAL EARLY AND MAI. LACEY
MahOne-It Will Probably be Settled
On the Field of Honor.

OMAHA, Neb., July = Special telegram
to The HERALD. THE peace and quiet of
an otherwise orderly Sunday was rudely
broken in upon by a shooting tragedy near
the corner of Sixth and Bancroft streets,
as result ofwhich, the body of boy
scarcely in his teens, lies in the morgue
horribly mutilatel and another boy, but a
few years his senior, is under arrest,
charged with the crime. According to the
story of the prisoner, N. f. Adair, he and
his half brother had been out hunting and
had just returned from the grove, when
they saw the deceased and two of his young
companions seated under a tree enjoying
feast of green apples which they had
gathered in that immediate neighborhood.
The hunters stopped to inquire where they
had gotten the apples, and after a short
conversation were about to pass on. Adair
had his gun in front Of him, holding it down
at arms length, and the first thing he knew
1t was discharged, the load of No shot
taking effect in the head of one of the three
boys who were sitting under the trees.
The boys, Mortified at the sight,
Immediately scampered away and Adair at
once went home and told his mother and she
requested him to so to police headquarters
and give himself up to the authorities
Deputy Coroner Martin viewed the body
and made rather hasty examination 1t
was apparent that the victim had been but
short distance from the muzzle of the gun,
as the shot had scattered but little before
entering the head of the deceased The
entire face and forehead above the lower
jaw was torn away, tearing open the skull
and allowing the brain matter to ooze out
The coroner empaneled jury this morn
ing, but little information was gathered at
the inquest, the companions of the dead
boy not having been found. The body of
the boy was identified late this afternoon
as that of Johnnie Hamerneck. Adair is
assisting the police to find the missing
boys

BEFORE A FRENCH JURY.
Personifier of Priest and Beguiler of
Women Sent to Prison.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Gable I
PARIS, July French iurymen have
just shown how they can defend slurs on
women. Eugene Louis Theirs is an ascetic
looking gentleman, twenty eight years old,
who has long formed the conviction that
the best way of obtaining board and lodg-
ing for nothing as well as conquering the
hearts of fair ladies, was to don the soutane
and shovel hat of priest. To obtain the
ecclesiastical vestments he went to a shop
where goods were sold on the installment
plan and incurred an Indebtedness of SCI. 80
and then ran up bill at wine shop of $40.
One day while his landlady and himself
were enjoying themselves over bottle Eu-
gene confessed that he was no priest; that
in short he only acted the role so that he
could get along without being bothered by
receiving dunning letters from tradespeo-
pie from whom he had bought the goods.
The lady was horror struck and immedi-
ately left him and told the police. OF course
Monsieur Theirs was arrested and when ar
ralgned In court next day must have
greatly impressed one of mis- female spec
tators by his pitiful appearance, because a
young barrister, who haG been seen in
conversation with her, announced he would
defend the prisoner. A jury was demanded
ana tne case was SET Tor Saturday. The
facts about defrauding shopkeepers and
personifJin ing "a priest were brought on t.,
but when Tiers took the stand and several
respectable looking and pretty young
women testified to the prisoners former
good character, it did not take blind man
to see that the jury would acquiU the pris-
oner. However, the procureur general pro
duced the following letter, which Theirs,
while at prison, wrote to the German am
bassador. The communication was rather
peculiar one to be sent to such an official.
1t was as follows:
81 wish to become a member of YOUR
great and powerful empire. There is not a
single beautiful woman in France. The
French respect neither religious belief nor
private life. l am certain there is not in
your country a meDagerie of wild beasts SC
badly treated as is an inoffensive priest in
Mozas. L ask you to interfere in my favor.
in order that may have back my soutane
and my liberty, and promise to retire into
a convent"
His audacious ingratitude in declaring
that there are no beautiful women in
France sealed his fate. He was found
guilty and sentenced to three months i'm.
prisonment as well as the forfeiture of his
precious souta ne.

Racing at Chicago this Meek.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE coming week
promises to see more good racing at Wash

agement that a very sensational race was
not arranged. Secretary Brewster offered
on behalf of the club So, $50 for mile and
a quarter race between Salvador, Tenny
and Racine. Dave Pulsifer, the owner of
Tenny, telegraphed that he was willing to
come, but the matter had to be dropped. as
the Racine people were unwilling to run
Whether the distance was too far for them
or what their reason for refusing was is not
known, but it is said that Pulsifer is Will
ing to run his horse Tenny against Racine

the end of the season these cracks will meet

during the week: Tuesday, the Drexel

PRUDISH DETROIT.
The Directors Of the Art Museum Have All the
Nude Statues Dressed

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
CHICAGO, July 6.-"Such an action as
that taken by the directors of the Detroit
museum of art would never have been
dreamed of in a metropolitan city 1t was
a provincialism, and L am surprised that
Detroit should be the abiding place of q
class of men who can display SO great an
amount of foolishness."
The speaker was Mr.. Charles Hutchinson,
president of the Chicago art institute
What he said was in conversation last
evening regarding the action of the Detroit
directors In an order just issued that the
nude figures in their art museum sh ould be
draped.
An enterprising Detroit art director
some time since procured for the above
named institution several fine plaster casts
of the "Venus de Media" and other classical
pieces, of statuary. The statues were
robed simply in the beauty of their lowell
ness, which costumes were consid-
cred by certain persons of Detroit entirely
and outrageously insufficient. A modestv
statuary and the immortality of the direc-
tors were denounced, and petition was
drawn up and forwarded to the directors
The art students and certain other citizens
objected strongly to such action, but the
enemies of the display of the human form
divine carried the day, and the directors
made public their order that the casts
should be covered with clothes. The smiling

forthwith clothed to the satisfaction of

eSILVER TRIUMPHANT
The Republican COnfereeS Come
to an Agreement
To BUY FOUR AND AHALF MILLION
Ounces of Silver Monthly-The Certificates are
Made Legal Tender-Some Other In
portant Provisions.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July Especial
telegram to THE HERALD. Six of the
Republican Senators who favor the free
coinage of silver voted with the Democrats
to-day, not to take up the tariff bill until a
silver bill was reported, aud within three
hours the conference on the silver bill
reached an agreement. The agreement
was not precisely the result of the firm
stand taken by the silver Senators.
for it would PROBABLY have been reached in
any case, but it was notice to
the eastern men that if they were still dis
posed TO be obstinate they must face the
contingency of ioosing their tariff bill, or
having a silver amendment attached to it.
1t was with extreme reluctance that Sen
ator Sherman and Representatives Conger
and Walker acceeded to the demands of the
western men and in doing so they claim
TO have got a bill as good at
least as that which passed the
House. They have been obliged
TO yield to the demands of the western men
that the amount of silver purchased should
Nbe 4,50O,000 ounces. but they have had the
Tree coinage provis stricken out, and the
only coinage provided for is to meet pos
sible demands for redemption purposes.
The new certificates are made legal tender,
but the eastern men have had a
provision inserted that they shall
not be legal tender when it
IS otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract. The essential advantage of the
bill, which in the opinion OF the eastern
men compensates for striking out the bul
lion redemption feature, is that the notes
are only TO be issued to the amount of the
cost of the silver bullion and this silver
coin held in the treasury. The secretary
OF the treasury' is authorized to redeem the
notes in gold and silver certificates at his
discretion. II has been suggested that in
order to obtain gold he would be able to
sell bonus under the provisions of the
specie resumption act. The secretary of
the treasury would under ordinary condi-
lions except such power.
The report Of the conference committee
was presented this afternoon in the Senate
and will probably be agreed to TO morrow.
The House viii then take it UP
and agree to it in its turn. The
Democratic conferees, Senators Harris.
OF Tennessee, and Mr.. Bland, of Missouri,
will report against the conference substi-
tute and Bland will recommend that the,
House consent to the Senate free coinage

when he was notified his presence was not
required.
After the TRANSACTION of some otEer
business the House went into committee of
the whole for consideration of the Senate
bill to forfeit certain lands heretofore
granted for the purpose Of aiding the CON
structlon OF RAILROADS with the House sub
stitute therefor Payson explained the
bill. In general, the provisions proposed
to forfeit and restore to the public domain
all lands which had been granted in aid of
construction where the railroads had not
been completed at this time. There had been
thirty seven railroads aided by acts of Con
gress which had not been acted upon. Nine
had been fully completed. That left six
teen roads now uncompleted, and the
House substitute recommended the forfeit.
ure of all lands lying opposite such portions
OF the roads as are not now constructed 1t
was his opinion that a bill of broader
character than this could never pass the
was to the effect that the bill would restore
75,0C0,000 acres to the public domain.
Stone, of Missouri took the position that
forfeiture should be made of all lands
which mad not been earned at the time fixed
in the granting acts for the completion of
the roads. The Northern Pacific road, he
said'was most vitality interesed in this meas
ure. He quoted from speeches by Payson
in the Twenty eighth and Twenty ninth
Congresses upholding the right of Congress
to forfeit lands unearned at the time fixed
by the granting acts and attacked that
gentleman for what he declared was a
change of front. The pending legislation.
the railroad companies, especially the
Northern 81 Pacific, demanded of Con
gress. The Speaker (Reed) in the Forty
seventh Congress, when chairman of the
judiciary committee, reported that Con-
gress had no power to forfeit an acre of
the Northern Pacific grant. Since then
Thomas B.. Reed had been Jealous cham
pion OF that great. arrogant and corrupt
corporation on the floor of the House This
corporation knew its founder and stood by
him most Loyalty. 1t was an open secret
that no influence had been more potential
in the reorganization of the House than
that exerted by the Northern Pacific rail
way. The passage of the bill under con-
sideration was matter of first Importance
