FARwELL's S PLAY.
Fellnwsl Sneech at the Rannnet.

NEW YORK, Feb 24-Upwards of hun
drtd members of the gusts of Washington
Heights Century club sat down to the an
nual commemorative dim. r at Murray Hill
hotel last night. "The congress of the
United States, the best illustration of rep
resentative government" created some
what of a sensation by declaring in the
course of some remarks upon the relative
powers of the states and federal govern
ment that although he had been an officer
in the confederate army he had always
thought he was a traitor to the federal gov
ernment and if caught had deserved to have
been hung, and that this was not done was
due only to the beneficence of he victor
ious government or the mercy of God.
Col. Fellows was asked to say something
about the ce sus. He replied: the census
is a back number. The decisions of the
government which has the sole right to
take the census should be accepted without
further dispute. He admitted he was in
favor of the free coinage of silver if one
hundred cents was put into every dollar.

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 24.-Catharine SAILS
bury was placed on trial today in Judge
Burke's court charged with the murder of
Mary R. Farmleth on August 8, 1888. The
two women were near neighbors and a
family quarrel had sprung up between
them. Matters had grown to such feeling
between the women that Mrs. Salisbury
went to Justice Braswell and wanted Mrs.
Farmleth put un ter peace bond. Justice
Braswell continued the case, and thus mat
ters stood the day of the killing.
just before the killing took place Mrs
Farmleth walked down the rect past Mrs
Saulsbury's house. Mrs. Salisbury was
standing in her 'or, so a witness testities.
and spit as Mrs. Farmleth meandered bv.
Mrs. Farmleth thought Mrs. salisbury
was spltCng at her and looked upon it as
an ominous sign. AS she was returning
Mrs. Salisbury stepped out in front of
her house it Is alleged and
without warning began shooting at Mrs
Farmleth. Mrs. Farmleth ran and Mis-.
Salisbury went in pursuit. wi her artillery
at work. She fired four or five shots, two of
them taking effect in Mrs Farmleth. The
shooting took place on Thursday and the
victim died Saturday. The case will pro
badly occupy the court for a number of
days and bids fair to be very sensational.

Speeches Of Mrs. j. Ellen Foster and
Other Female Leaders of Temperance
WASHINGTON, Feb "a The morning
session of the Woman's National Council
was devoted to the consideration OF the gem
eral subject of Temperance. Mrs. J. Ellen
Foster, president of ihe Non.parisan
National Woman's Christian Temperance
Union said the organization of
which she was the honored president
was formed in Cleveland,
January, 1889, and this was the frat
opportunity she had had of speaking of its
work and aims before so distinguished an
audience. Its great central dOcurine was
to,al abstinence for tn individual and pro-
hibltlon for the state. The Women's Christ
ian Temperance union had decided to de-
vote its energies and its influence TO the
support and encouragement of party which
would best protect their homes,
to one which would lead in
the great work OF temperance reform.
They were true and noble Christian Tenn
peranCe women, who led and who followed
this as the best and most practicable plan
for attaining the end to which all Christian
women are striving, but guided by the
teachings ofthe past and the necessaries Of
lIo pOOI' Sildll ulllOTlbY nhn De6u I'M
pressed with TIE belief that every woman
snould be free to choose her party alliance,
and this gave rise to the non partisan
union. They believed that an absolute
political body was as much the
right of a woman as that of man.
They believed it wrong to ally themselves
to any one polite party.
Mrs. Mary T. LtIhrop, representing as
delegate the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, was the next speaker.
Drunkenness, she said, is not the national
evil of the day. The real evil is
the licensing of vicious traf-
fc. No drunkard shall inherit eternal
life and we license 8 10000 men to sell away
the chances of others eternity This is
made possible by the ballots of he land

Worlds Fair Convention.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. PA world s
fair convention of delegates from south
western Texas was held here today. The
object is to form the nucleus of an exhibit
at the Chicago exposition by depositing i'm
perishable goods in this city and adding to
them until the time to send to Chicago.
The convention was under the auspices of
the board of trade city administration and
San Antonio fair association. The
delegations were an extremely rep
resentative gathering, being COM
posed of active business men, all
of lhem prominent in their communities.
Little was done beyond affecting perma-,
nent organization. H. w. b Langstor of
Atascosa county was elected president
and J. ]. Dickinson of Bexar permanent
secretary. A resolution was adopted
censuring the citizens of San Antonio for
the small interest taken. An adjournment
was then taken until 10 a. m. tomorrow,
when the important business will come up.

A College Row.

GALEsBURG, Ills, Feb. 24.-The celebra
ton of Washington's birthday by the
students of Knox college began at mid
night when large band of "Preps" gained
the top of the college, barricaded the doors
behind them and fastened yellow banner
to the cupola staff, and rang the bell. The
Freshmen charged the building and until
long after daylight a noisy, fierce demon
stration prevailed. The Freshmen, by
smashing in the doors with sledge ham
mer, managed to get past all the barr cades
but the last, which etfectually barred their
way. Five of tire Props were captured
bound hand and feet, and treated with
violence: The Props held the fort all day.
The affair is little less than disgraceful,
owing to damage done to the college prop
erty, and is condemned by majority of
the students.

New York Stock Market,

New YORK, Feb. 23.-The resumption of
business at the stock exchange this morn
ing gave no evidence that there were any
more brokers or operators in the city than
before the holiday and certainly there was
no more interest displayed in the transac-
ton of securities at the board There is al
most nothing in the market worthy of
mention. The tendency of prices seems to
be down. The close was very dull and
heavy at the lowest prices of the day but

the nomination was yesterdaysen to the

ported today that the senator, who, il is
absent senator, announced that he had no
objection, the confirmation followed with.
