The judges of the supreme court oi errors held special consultation on the quo warranto case in New Haven last Saturday. It is understood that no final decision was reached; that another con- sultation will be held soon, at a place and date to be named by Chief Justice An drews, and that when the conclusions, are then reached, one of the judges will be assigned to the duty of putting the opin- ion of the court in writing. This written paper will be considered at third meet; ing, which cannot be held, probably until late in the month, or about two weeks before the house re-assembles on the 9th of January.

k Boston Commercial Bulletin Com missioner Simonds should have the credit of prompt action in the matter of issuing the Eerliner patent. He was in office but a few weeks when on October 28 he rejected the application of Drawbaugh for patent which had been pending for eleven years, and with which the Berliner application had also lately been in inter- ference, and on the hext day directed the issue of the Berliner patent. Why some of the commissioners predecessors were not able to reach decision in the matter during all these years is what the public would like to know.

THE New York and New England rail- lar trio series, the first smash up near Newington and minor accident near the west end of the line being followed last Friday by more serious wreck at East Thompson. In accordance with custom all west bound freights had been moved of the west bound track to make room for two belated passenger trains, giving freight trains going east privilege of using the west bound track between Putnam and East Thompson. The Southbridge freight train, however, was occupying the track, preparatory to starting for South bridge, and an east bound freight crashed and soon in quick succession the Long Island express and the steamboat train from Norwich were piled upon the all ready considerable mass of wreckage. The four engines were pretty well dis abled. Fortunately there were few pas sengers on the Long Island express, the cars of which were not broken. The ex- tent of loss of life at first appeared to be the engineer and fireman of the Long Island express, instantly killed, while two other engineers and firemen were serious ly injured. Evidence now accumulates, however, that passenger named Roth, of New York, was also killed in one of the sleepers of the Long Island express, and his body entirely consumed by fire.

FIFE following Boston dispatch, given first in last evenings papers, probably has considerable coloring. Sheriff Sibley is an officer of intelligence, experience and discretion, and we feel sure will in the end be found to have kept within the law in his efforts to carry out the laws intents: ::
 Boston, Dec. 9.-A man who escaped from jail at Brooklyn, Conu., and who was later arrested in Lowell, Mass, and carried back without requisition papers against his protest, has written to Gov erno1 Russell claiming illegal arrest. The state police have investigated and find the mans statement true, and Dis trict Attorney Stevens has summoned Preston B. Sibley, of Brooklyn, Conn.,, to appear before the grand jury Thursday morning to answer to the charge of ar resting William Phillips in Lowell and taking him to Connecticut without requi- sition papers, which, according to the law, is criminal offense. The governor will probably demand the release of Phil lips and the punishment of SibIey. It has been said that Sibley has repeatedly done this same thing, and was well aware Of the law at the time.

AFTER thirty ballots the caucus of democratic congressman nominated for speaker Charles F. Crisp of Georgia. His principal competitor was Roger Q. Mills of Texas. The first ballot stood Crisp, 94, Mills, 7S, Springer, of Illinois, B, McMillin, of Tennessee, IS, Hatch, of Missouri, IA, and there was little change in these relative positions until the final ballot, when the vote, stood, Crisp, 119, Mills, 105, Springer, 4. Moses F. Stevens of Massachusetts had one vote on every ballot, including the last, from a jealous Massachusetts member who declared at the outset that he "would vote for no free silver coinage man."

THE crank has come to the front again. and succeeding in murdering one person, as a partial compensation also blowing himself to pieces. A man supposed to be Hugh D. Wilson, an unsuccessful stock speculator, last Friday went into the office of Russell Sage, the millionaire railroad magnate, and demanded of him an enormous sum of money, accompany ing the demand with threats. MT. Sage replied evasively, and being very busy moved into doorway leading to another room. This movement saved his life, for immediately there came a terrible explo- sion, blowing the room out of all recog- nizable shape and partially wrecking the building. Two persons were killed-Mr. Sage's private secretary, B. F. Norton, and the bomb thrower, whose head was found lying upon the floor as neatly cut off as if done by sword. The crank had satchel in his hand when he entered the room, which no doubt contained dyna- mite which he exploded when his modest request was refused consideration. MT. Sage, who did not regard the man as dan- gerous until the explosion came, was con- siderably injured, but not dangerously, and naturally is made nearly i'll by the nervous shock. This affair, coupled with the attempt made few days before to shoot Rev. Dr. Hall, is causing people to inquire whether, when it becomes evident that mans mind is unbalanced, and he is talking of killing some one, Gas was the case in both of these instances), it isn't best to take precautionary measures, and shut them up.

debts. Under the contraction poll
cy, inaugurted in 1865, about ST.

The old party bosses are trying
awful hard to keep up the tariff dis
cussion as the great and only issue
in the coming campaign, but it will
avail them nothing. The farmers
and laborers have been Investigate
ing political questions themselves
for a few years, and they have
learned a thing or two. They have
learned that we have had panics
and hard times when there was
low tariff, and hard times and panics
when there was high tariff; but
there never was a panic nor hard
times when there was a sufficient
supply of money to effect exchanges.
Money is to commerce what blood
is to animal life, and when it is
withdrawn or congested life goes
out and that is just what alls this
whole country, and not this country
alone, but the whole world over.
There is not a sufficient supply of
money to supply the ever-increasing
demands of trade and commerce,
and what there is is congested In
the money centers. Therefore, ag-
riculture and trade suffer because
the money power dictates terms to
them and sets the price on all they
to sell as we'll as what they have to
buy. "Shoot the tariff" What
we want, and must have, is more
money, that will employ labor at re-
munerative prices, and consequent
ly less misery. Haven Independent.

THE WICHITA CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE.

At the close of the Christian Workers
convention, held in Olivet Congregational
church the early part of this week, a
Wichita branch of the christian alliance
was organized with between fifty and sixty
members. 1t is probable that the number
will be nearly doubled at once Several
city ministers are included in the member
ship, and lay members from very nearly
all, if not all, the evangelical denomina.
tions represented in Wichita The alliance
is an organization of christians who are
seeking to know and spread the deeper
truths of the christian life, and who be-
lieve in the possibility of divine healing,
for the body and in the Lords pre-mil-
lenial return to earth. It is hoped that
the organization in Wichita may meet the
long felt need of some sort of united effort
in behalf of city mission work. A hall
will probably be secured somewhere in the
center of the city for holding gospel meet
ings.
Much misunderstanding of the purpose
aud nature of the alliance is liable to arise,
and il is hoped that persons will not judge
it prematurely. 1t will be found that its
object is simply TO exalt the Lord Jesus
Christ and to win men to Him. As to the
healing of the body, it has nothing in COM
mon with christian science" which it
regards as a gross delusion, contrary 10

Nor is the alliance a new denomination,
but is simply an organization of Christians
who are member of various churches, but

pathies and like understanding the Scrip

LAST NIGHTS ENTERTAINMENT.

The New York Philharmonic club ap-
peared at the Crawford Grand last even
ing before a critical and appreciative audi
ence. The entertainment was truly an
artistic one and the Congregational
church people are to be congratulated upon
procuring so fine an attraction to Wichita.
Every number that was presented was ex-
cellent and struck a responsive chord in
the auditors The instrumental music by
the club was strictly chamber music and
was soul stirring and sweet. 1t was some
thing excellent and was appreciated As
such.
The vocal solos by Miss Marion S. Weed
were beyond doubt some of the best heard
in Wichita for some time. The
lady is strikingly handsome-beautiful
and has pure contralto voice Of great
range, has a charming manner, artistic
style and a fine degree of power. She was
encored upon each number she sang, and
responded Miss Weed sang beautifully.
The selections by the club, which consist
ed of six instruments, were very fine. Mr..
Marquardt is a violinist whose work de-
serves highest praise and is a thorough
artist and Messrs. Ernst Mahr cello vir-
tuoso; f. Herman, viola; August Kalk-
hof, the double bass artist, and Sebastian
Laendner, violinist, are all thorough art
lists. The flute solos by Mr.. Wiener were
superb. He is the best flute player that
has been heard in Wichita for many years,
and he is one of the finest fiutists of the
age. The rendition of sextettes by this
grand combination captivated the audi
ence and deserves the highest encomiums.
