AN EQUINE BUTCHER SHoP.-An
officer in Chicago has reported the
existence in that city of a horse
rendering establishment kept by a
man named Brockman. In vault
in The premises were found four
barrels of corned or picked horse
flesh. In Brockman's house near
by, two headquarters were found
nicely dressed and hung up, and on
the table, which was arranged Tor
a Thanksgiving repast, were found
portions of horseflesh cooked and
ready TO be served. Brockman
says that the animals are sold for
food for hogs, but the care used in
dressing the meat and The fact that
Brockman's family use it gives
strong coloring 10 the supposliion
that Brockman is carrying on an
active trade in horseflesh with the
lower class of restaurants. All the
meat found was condemned and
Brockman was summoned to ap-
pear for examination.

aid:
The electoral vote of New York
State will be controlling factor
in the next Presidential election.
You may sneer and cough and
shrug your shoulders and DENY it
as much as you please, but that is
the fact, and If you stub your toe
against it you will go lame for
week.
A great many politicians say No,
but il they will borrow some brains
they will see their mistake. They
have saddled and bridled an rides
cent dream, declare with foolish
emphasis that the Democratic par
ty can surrender New York to the
Republicans and then win the race,
hands down. Later on they may
find that this dream has the kick
ing qualities of Texas mule and
they will be landed outside the
breastworks on their heads.
1t is equally evident that the
present contention between Mr..
Cleveland and Governor Hill is
very serious matter, politically.
The Cleveland men declare that if
Hill attempts any coup d'etat they
will rip his longed for majority up
the back. The Hill men respond
that if Cleveland doesn't retire
they will sharpen their snickernees
and wade in gore.
Now, one of these candidates
must pray Tor The grace of resigna-
ton, and the prayer must be grant
ed or there will be trouble. A split
party-and that is what we have
now-is, in close election, fatal.
Some one will have to give way
and that right soon, Tor there is
none too much time for complete
and effective organization.
Shall it be Cleverand Shall it
be Hill! That is the question.

The FURRY Between Wales and His
Mother Arose Over ES-Empress Fred
erick.
LONDON, Feb. 27.-The report of a
"spat" yesterday at Portsmouth, between
Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales,
is to-day explained thus: Before going
to the launch the Prince of Wales heard,
through the foreign office, alarming ac-
counts of the position of Empress Fred
ericlx in Paris. He decided to go to bring
her away, believing his personal popu
larity would prevent the threatened
demonstration, and wired the Queen mis-
intention.
On arriving at the doek-yard and
joining the queens circle, grouped
round the bows of the Royal Arthur,
the queen was heard accosting him with,
"What do you say2 Turn my daughter
out of Paris? Nonsense it is impos.
sible." The prince, in an undertOne, re-
piled that he was so impressed with the
gravity of the situation reported by the
minister that he had wired his sister to
leave Immediately if she could not
await him.
The queen, visibly enraged, repeated
that it was impossible to believe that
any insult could he offered to her
daughter in Paris. She then sat down
and excitedly played her fingers on an
electric battery, 10 the alarm of Prof.
Edgar and the dock yard officials, who
dreaded premature launching Of the
ship. In further conversation she
blamed the prince for the injudicious
course he had taken, and threatened to
conntermand his kilograms by herself
wiring.
The prince in moderate tones pro-
tested that countermand would be un-
wise, and urged his mother to send u
telegram enforcing his advice. The
controversy ended in harmony The
queen, appeased, talked over the matter
with the prince, and the latter before
leaving Portsmouth sent a cipher tele-
gram to ex- Empress Frederick backing
his own wishes with the queens,

see them at my house or not at all.

children on the doorstep of my house.
This is an absolute lie. He not only
did leave them there, but when he was
on his way up the bay with them, sent
me telegram TO have the maid come TO

dock to take them off.

QUEBEC. Feb. 27.-Sir Charles Upper
addressed large mass meeting here last
night His speech was very much the
same as those delivered by him recently
in Toronto and elsewhere. He however,
spoke of the proposed line Of fast steamers
which would receive subvention Of $780,
600 a year from the government of Sir
John Macdonald, and which steamers
would trade between France, England
and Canada with branch line between
Canada and Australia The steamers
would be equipped according to the latest
design aud would be fitted 50 as to be able
to do active service in case of war. These
steamers said Sir Charles would across the
Atlantic in less than five days.
on his last trip to Paris, Sir Charles was
given the promise Of the French govern
inent that its Canadian and United States
mails would be conveyed across the Allan
tic BIZ that line of steamers and closer rela-
tionS between the two countries could thus
=" effected Australia would also ,contri-
uutc largely to line of steamships plying
between countries flying the British en-
sign. In concluding Sir Charles said that

would be offered treaty of limited reci-
procity by Secretary Blaine who finds him

treaty as has been concluded between the

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
Answer to the Request of Its Employees.
PITTsBURG, PA, Feb. 26.-The Penn.
sylvani.. Companys employees to-day
received an answer from the railroad
officials
The reply adjusts local grievances
cited by the men, and presented to the
company early in January, and is the
result Of conference of the past three
days between General Manager Wood,
General Superintendent Watts, of the
northwestern system; General Superin-
tendent Miller Of the Ohio southwestern
system. and all division superintendent
Shortly after II o'clock to-day q COM
mittee of seven men, representing the
general grievance committee, composed
of all the different branches OF the train
service, were received in General
Manager Woods office, where several
officials were still in conference.
The committee, after brief wait, was
handed copies of the equalization of
operative practice, whose interest is to
make uniform train service ON all diyi-
sions so far as such is consistent. rho
document states, in brief, that hereafter
fines will be discontinued and damages
to the companys property, &c., will be
followed by suspension or discharge.
Callers will be provided for the men.
Men are called for duty and their trains
are annulled. Two hours will be al
lowed at overtime rates, if called and
notified of the annulment of train be-
fore reaching yard or engine house no
time will be allowed.
In making light and dead-head trips
men will be paid as follows:
Light engine and caboose-Full
through freight time.
Light engines or caboose attached to q
freight train-Full through freight time,
and the dead-head crew will be expected
to assist in the work.
Deadyarding on passenger trains
One-half their regular trip rates.
As far as practicable, trial enginemen
will prepare engines for road service;
when ii is necessary for roadmen to try
engines, they will be paid overtime
rates for the actual time employed.
As Il general practice, il is notdcemed
advisable to transfer yard engincmen to
road service; where such transfers are
made, the yard enginemen Will first be
required to run on the road six months
as tiremen.
These, with few other slight con-
cessions, were read at u full meeting Of
the railroad grievance committee and
received with apparent dissatisfaction,
though all debate was postponed.
Nearly all the division superintcnd.
ents have departed for their respective
homes The general officers Of the com
pany do not attempt to anticipate the
action Of the men. General Superin-
tendent Watts is still of the opinion that
his employees are too sensible to tie up
the road. He says "that there is no tell
ing what will happen" 1t is under
stood, however, that in case of HOSTILE
ties the company's policy is already out
lined.
The concessions granted by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company have been
accepted by the men, and all threatened
trouble has disappeared.

Cherokee Strip--In Danger of Starving.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Feb. 27.-There is
great suffering in tho Cherokee strip among
the boomers who went there from Kansas
and Missouri several weeks ago. The
blizzard caught them unprepared for
severe weather, and it is reported that the
women and children are in danger of
dying from the cold. The only fuel is
buffalo chips, and q heavy fall of snow
has spoiled them for use
IL. A. Lewis, just in from Arkansas City,
says: II think probably there are 800
boomers, including families, in the strip.
and half Of this number are in danger Of
freezing or starving. The stock is in bad
shape and without pasturage will not i'm
prove so as to get the movers out Of the
strip before great suffering comes. The
order of the Secretary Of the Interior
for the troops to clear the strip
has caused CONSERVATION. The mill
tary is afraid to use force on so
helpless lot Of people and the unfor-
Inmates themselves connot get away.
Captain A. Il. Woodson, Of the Army,
says that there are not many boomers
left and other officers have said the same
thing. The settlers however, are there
and no amount Of soldiery can move
them unless fair weather intervenes and
gives the people chance to get something
to eat and their stock in better condition"
