MARYLAND'S SENATORS.

Col. john Walker Smith Spoken of as a
Very Likely Candidate.
BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 31.-Next Wed
nesday the Legislature of Maryland
will assem- BILE.
During the early part of the session
the subject that will absorb the atten
tion of the members will be the ell ection
of United States Senators.
The one to which the Western Shore
is entitled has already been nominated
and Is as good as elected, Arthur P.
German.
1t is the question who shall succeed
the late Senator E K. Wilson, of the
Eastern Shore, that has been open for
speculation.
Several estimable men have an
nounced themselves as candidates for
the distinguished honor, among the m
Governor Jackson, John B. Brown and
James Alfred Pearce, but the man who
evidently has developed the greatest
strength and popularity in that section
of the State is Colonel John Walter
Smith, who now represents Worcester
county in the State Senate.

ATcHIsoN, Kan, Dec. 31-Early yes

western part of Atchison county, and
compelled her at the point of the revolt

deed, although it is believed that they
are the same men who robbed John

TWEED DAYS RECALLED.
The $50, 900 Libel Suit of Ex-Mayor
Oakley Hall.

Inc 0oU,OUO LlDe1 suit OF EXMaYOr A.
Oakley Hall.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-It seems al
most incredible that after 20 years have
elapsed the notorious scandals of the
Tweed regime should be brought con-
spicuously before the public, but such
nevertheless, is the fact, and ex-May or
A. Oakley Hall is the moving spirit that
brings them again to the front.
Mr.. Hall has brought suit for $50, O0o
damages against Prof James Boyce,
the English author of 1.-THE American
Commonwealth, alleging that the
chapter in Prof. Boycs's work on the
Tweed Ring in New York is untrue
and has damaged him to the extent of
$50,
The alleged libelous chapter was not
written by Prof. Boyce, but was pre-
pared for him by Prof F. J. Goodnow
of Columbia College.
Mr.. Hall brought suit in the English
courts, and the British Consul General,
William Lane Booker was appointed q
commission err to take testimony in this
city. This work has been going on for
a month past, and many witnesses have
been examined.
The amount of testimony that the
commissioner will send back to Eng
land will be veryI large, because, in
addition to the statements of wit
nesses, it will include transcripts of
court findings, the records of legisla-
tive committees, and copies of news
paper articles published at the time of
the Tweed Ring exposures.
Among the witnesses examined has
been Thomas Mast, and his famous car
toons have all been put in evidence
Other witnesses have been George Will
liam Curtis, E. L. Godkin, Charles r.
Miller, and various court and city Off
Gals familiar with the proceedings of
twenty years ago.
Mr.. Hall, who is now in this country,
living at Orange, N. j., has acted as
his own counsel befo ore the Commits
sion, and Professor Boyce's interests
have been cared for by John Notma
of the firm of Butler, StilIman s. Hub
bard.
The taking of testimony will be con-
tinued next week, and it is not likely
that the work will be concluded by the
end of January, the time appointed by
the English court. A statement to the
effect that Professor Boyce has already
expended a large fortune in defending
the suit is emphatically denied by Mr.
hoffman.

service had already begun, and great
wave of music came sweeping towards
them. The girl bowed her head and
hid her tears; already she was realizing
that she must not let Michael get too
many glimpses of her inner self. OF
course he loved her. Did he not speak
confidently of the future life that they
were to live together? But what sort Of
a life would it be?
Here in the solemn old abbey, with
the misty arches overhead and the
waves of music rolling over her, Olives
heart was throbbing with awe and
gratitude SO much had been given al
ready; she had been led out of a mar
row world into wide one; here were
chanting voices and deep organ-notes
expressing all that words could not say!
A flood of feeling overwhelmed her;
she was worshiping and giving thanks
in her tears and silence. And Michael

AIaher-Dempsey Fight OFF.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The four round
glove contest between Peter Maher, the
Irish champion, and Jack Dempsey, the
-middleweight champion, which lad
been announced to take place at the
Madison Square on Jan. IA, was to- day
declared indefinitely postponed by the
man ayers, Gus Tuthill and Billy Mad
den. The cause of the breakup in the
arrangements is that Police Superin-
tendent Murray said that he wan ted
no more glove contests, and would
make it public, whenever he saw fitting
occasion, that there could be no fight
ing. For that reason the match was
declared off, as was a similar bout be-
tween Maher and Peter Jackson, which
was down for Jan, % at the same place,
but had not been announced.

Your committee respectfully report
the following: "Victory over death"
has come to one of our beloved BROTH
ers. No more will his presence greet
us, no more his voice admOnish us,
but the noble example Of his life will
abide in our hearts forever. We
cherish the memory of our deceased
brother - Rev. Achilles De Grasse
Sears, who completed his earthly la
bors June Is, 1891, at his residence in
this city, aged 81 years, surrounded by
his sorrowing family and a circle of
devoted friends.
AS Free and Accepted Mason, he
was distinguished for his masonic
character. AS q working member, as
public defender, or as jealous
teacher, of true masonic virtues" to
his less informed brothers, it may well
be said of him, he represented "the
three great supports of masonry-wis
dom, strength and beauty"
AS citizen and as a Christian min
lister his great moral worth is well
known, even beyond our 'jurisdic-
tion," for "he wrought with lervency
and zeal" Therefore be it
Resolved, That we recognize in him
the "iust and upright man and ma
son"-"well tried, true and trusty"--
"a perfect ASHER" ready for the eter-
nal temple.
Resolved, That we deeply sympa-
thize with the aged companion of his
long and useful life, believing that she
will receive that consolation from
1.-THE Great Architect of the Uni
verse;" which He alone can give.
Resolved, That we will attend his
funeral and pay the last sad honors OF
this fraternity to his memory.
Resolved, That this lodge be draped
in mourning, and the members wear
the usual badge for thirty days.
Resolved, That this he spread upon
the minutes, and that " copy be en-
crossed and sent to the widow of our
deceased brother, and also that copy
be furnished to the newspapers for
publication in this city.

of DIR. Sears, drew parallel in com
pairing the conversion of the old sol
dier of the cross to that of the great
Apostle Paul, having Affections Wis
tied upon him by the taking away of
a child while he was searching the
Scriptures for to prosecute chris
tianity.

touching eulogy, found in his death a
beautiful symbol Of that of the
Prophet Elisha. Is there not still an
other striking and beautiful compari
son of Gods dealings with His SER
wants in the case of Moses, who had
his heart set on entering the Promise
Land, but was only permitted to view
the scene from Pisgah's heights? DIR.
Sears ambition was to see the interior
of his church finished AS the rounding
up of his life's work, but the Lord
was not willing, or in few more
weeks he would have entered in.
