A Gallant Soldier Terribly Wounded and
Afflicted With Dipsomania.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21.-Colonel Al
exander Bailie, who killed himself in
Chicago Thursday, was for twenty years
after the war a familiar parsonage on
the streets of this city. Colonel Baillie
was connected with one of the oldest
and most distinguished Pennsylvania
families, the Muehlbergers. He was
also relative of the late Franklin B.
Gowan, long president of the Reading
road. Colonel Baillie was gallant SOL
dier on the Union side all through the
civil war. He was wounded in
the face in one of the early bat
ties of Virginia. The wound fright
fully disfgured his countenance.
After the war he lost a number of
good positions which his friends secured
for him, through habits of intemper-
ance, which were no doubt superinduced
by mental depression, the result of his
terrible physical Affections He was so
sensitive that he avoided social inter
course as much as possible, and gradual
ly became estranged from most of his
friends He for many years maintained
himself by literary work.

SHUT AGAINST STRIKERS.

Vice-President Webb VIII Allow None of
the Late Strikers to Re-enter the Central
Service.
ALBANY, N. Y, Sept 2O.-H Walter
Webb, third vice-president of the New
York Central railroad, has been West as
far as Buffalo inspecting the workings
Of the road and arrived in Albany A
reporter asked Mr.. Webb how soon the
strikers would be reinstated. In answer
to this and several other questions, Mr.
Webb said:
ut may as well be understood right
here that from now on none of the
strikers on the Central road, between
New York and Buffalo inclusive, will
be reinstated 1t is better for the men,
for their families, and for all concerned
to know that none of the men who are
out will be taken back. The men left
the employ of the company six weeks
ago and they have had ample opportun-
ity to apply for work before this week.
They well understood the policy OF the
road from the beginning, and they have
seen it successfully established.

WASHINGTON, Sept 23-Mr O'Fer.
rail-, of Virginia, and Mr.. Smith, OF
Arizona, were the only Democrats in
the hall when the House was called to
order yesterday morning
At the conclusion of the prayer, the
clerk under the direction of the Speaker
proceeded to call the roll on the ap-
proval of Fridays journal. The vote
resulted: Yeas 153, nays none-no
quorum-and a call of the House was
ordered.
One hundred and ffty-nine members
responded to their names-still no
quorum. The Republican absentees
were Messrs. Brosius, Hansbrough, Nc
Cormick, T. M. Brown of Indiana, But
terworth, Connell, Ewart Finley Milli-

Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, moved an ad-

Republican members who were in favor

Butterworth and Sweeney would return

The motion was carried, yeas IS, nays

About the only conclusion reached by
the Republican Representatives in eau
Gus was to go on with the Langston-
Venable election case at all hazards
There was long discussion, and some
members who had been lukewarm in
their support of the Elections Commit
tee and others who were extremely
anxious to get away to attend to private
business or political matters sought to
escape the necessity for remaining in
the city. 1t is said also that several
members who were induced to remain
over Sunday by the promise that the
elections case should be disposed of yes
terday expressed good deal of dtsap-
pointment at the failure of quorum to
materialize. But the large majority OF
the members present took the ground
that it would be bad policy to retreat,
and they succeeded in the getting the
caucus to arrive at the determination
above noted
There was some lively denunciation
of the members who, by their absence,
retarded the public business and post
poned an early adjournment and there
was some talk of fining them heavily II
they failed to appear. But nothing Of
this kind was agreed upon, and the
caucus, after going over the list of abb

the State delegates, satisfied itself that
quorum could be obtained by moral
suasion and did not adopt more vigorous
measures than could be contained in

large amount of mutton, pork, poultry
and other perishable products. The COM
pany will commence the erection of a
plant Immediately and will in a short
time be ready to supply all the retail
markets of the city with choice meats. A
retail store will also be connected with
the business. For the present their re-
tail shop will be the City meat market on
Central avenue, which they are remodel
ling and refitting. The company starts
in with capital of $780, 900, which will be
ample for all present demands. Mr.. H.
P. Brown will act as manager, while

Business improvements Weekly-Cash
Sales Common.
Howard Criss-We are doing lot of
work. There is not as much ready cash
as there ought to be, and prices are low
for blacksmlthing, but we are kept busy,
and it all comes in gradually.
Mr.. Elliot - Business is improving
every week. Some days when the wind
is bad, it knocks all business out, bat Mt
the end of the week the balance shows
an increase in sales. A large number Of
people are paying cash and that makes
business pleasanter.
Mardis, the grocer-There is right here
at Great Falls splendid opening for
slaughter-house, packing and canning
and cold storage establishment. The
beef and mutton Is raised in great guam
tlty in the immediate country and could
be furnished at low figure. There is no
good beef or mutton in Montana today,
and 1t is difficult to obtain good meats
With a slaughtering and cold storage es-
adjustment here, the ANIMALS could be
slaughtered in the fall and early winter
when the meat Is tender and juicy and
kept for spring use. At present our
meat as shipped in from Chicago and the
added freight makes the cost more than
we ought to pay. A canning department
| in connection could utilize all the waste,
ofial, ETC., and help swell the profits
Every condition necessary to make such
an enterprise successful Is found here,
and the only thing needed is the right
man to make the first step. The stock
men of this country ought to take lib
eral share of stock in concern of this
kind and sell more of their produce at
home and save freights. A large number
of men would be employed and the week
| ly pay roll would be distributed among
the merchants, while all the people could
buy meats cheaper.

CORRESPONDENTS GET OFF.

The Senate in Secret Session vOtes Not
to Punish the Newspaper Men.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The senate
was in secret session for four hours, dis
cussing the report of the committee
which has been investigating the dis
closure of executive proceedings of the
senate. After thoroughly reviewing the
voluminous testimony in the case and
the exhaustive report Of the committee,
the senate refused, by vote of 36 to %,
to adopt the resolution Of the committee.
to bring the recalcitrant correspondents
before the bar Of the senate, and the wit
nesses who have been under subpoena for
the past fifty-one days were discharged.
Mr.. Dolph, the chairman of the commit
tee, came into the senate in the morning
loaded down with the bulky evidence,
which was all in typewriter copy, as he
did not care to trust it to be printed.
This will no doubt end the case, and the
next step will be for the correspondents,
who have been under subpoena for so
long time, to get their witness fees,
which at the ordinary rate will amount
to $1b8 each. y
The senate has confirmed the nomina-
tions of Stephen A. Marine, Vinton,
Iowa, to be pension agent at Des Moines,

NOT A CAST IRON LAW.

The Land Department VIII Make Due
allowance for Unavoidable Lachos Of
Settlers.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The interior
department in discussing the case of
John A. Burgess vs.. F. d. Hogaboom, in
volving the latter's timber culture entry
IN the Fergus Falls district, uses these
words:
The timber culture act is not run in a
cast iron mold, and must be construed in
the light Of reason. Where it is made
to appear from the testimony and the cir
cumstances surrounding the case that the
entryman had made reasonable effort
10 comply with the letter as well as the
spirit Of the act, he should not be de.
SPOILED of his entry upon purely techni-
cal grounds and for insuperable causes
due To the elements.
In the particular case under review
Hogahoom neglected to plant trees re-
9uired within the time specified on &C
count of heavy rains. The department
sustains his claim, notwithstanding n
violation of the letter of the law.
