DlSGRACEFUL ENDING
Milk Punch, Rum Punch, Cham
pagne and Whisky Served on
the Floor of Congress.
Scenes of the Final Dissolution Of the
Worst Congress in History.
Death of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 4.--[Special. AT
noon to-day more Republicans ended their
Congressional lives than ever before
known in the history of the country; and
what wake they are having. The hotels
are full of people, who have come here TO
see the old thing die. The galleries are
packed with spectators, and the fioor OF
the House is full Of the new members of
the coming Congress, who are here now
in sufficient numbers for Reed to count
quorum.
The proportion of members who will
not come back TO the next House is so
large that most of them don't care whether
school keeps or not, and the others are
looking out for themselves. The mortal
ity in this congress has been appalling.
Of the 230 representatives who started in
with the wild career of the flfty-tirst Con-
gress, 10 have gone down before the Grim
Reaper, and 152 went down politically in
the great carnage that attended the battle
of the ballots last fall. OF this number
III are Republicans. Only 80 of the brig
ade Of 176 Republicans, which Tom Reed
led TO the charge, have escaped the wrath
of the people.
Last night the cloak room on the Repub-
lican side was converted into saloon.
Congressman Belden (Rep.) of Colorado
known as an expert at draw poker, opened
up with both solid and liquid refreshments.
His lay out was milk punch and rum
punch, and the Republican members and
some Democrats filed up with 1t in quite
hilarious style. This greatly aided to
rush all jobs through that were aimed at
the surplus. Forty gallons of milk punch
were consumed in the Belden collation.,
besides several baskets of champagne,
and large amount of whiskey.

AMPLE SECURITY.
The Creditors Given Mortgage tor
100000,
On all the Properties of the Dueber
Watch Case Manufacturing Company.

Two papers of considerable import in
the Dueber trouble we're fled in the Re-
corder's office to-day. The first was a deed
of conveyance from Assignee Howard
Douglass, transferring the Dueber Watch
Case Company's property, excepting GER
tain money now in the Assignee's hands,
back to its original owner.
The second paper was a mortgage deed
in trust for the creditors of the company.
The document sets forth that at a meet
ing of the stockholders of the Dueber
Watch Company at the company's office,
In Cincinnati, February 27, all the stock
holders being present in person or by
proxy, resolution was adopted
to the effect that the Board of Di.
rectors of the company be authorized
and directed to cause, to be executed
three hundred bonds in the sum of $1,000,
each, and to secure the same by a mort
gage on all the property of the company
The amount of the bonds is payable al
the Union National Bank of Cleveland
March 1st, 1896. The bonds bear per
cent interest, and are payable semi.annu.
ally on the first day of March, and tho
first day of September. The mortgage
is made out to E. H. Bourn of Cleveland
Aaron B. Champion of Cincinnati, ant
VIM. A. Lynch of Canton, as trustees fol
the creditors, and is signed by John C.
Dueber as president of the company, ant
countersigned by William A. Moore
The signatures are vouched for by Judge
VIM. Sanders of Cleveland and Judge w
r. Day of Canton.
As will be seen from the above, the in
terest on the mortgage amounts to $1S, 900
per year, the company having to pay
$1,000 every six months, and redeem tn,
mortgage March 1st, 1896, or the propert,
reverts into the hands of the creditors.

THE LOUISVILLE DEATH.

An Important Discovery in the Douglass
Walser Case--It Was Caused by Over
doses of Morphine.
1t is now certain that the death of Doug
lass Walser, who expired under such
strange circumstances at Louisville, was
caused by overdose of medicine. 1t is
probable that it was an accident, or rather
a misunderstanding as to the amount that
should have been given.
At the inquest John S. Meyers testified
that the deceased had been given three
teaspoonfulls of the medicine sent by DR..
Hamilton. An examination of the bottle
shows that nearly seven doses had beer
taken out. AS each dose of a teaspoon
full, contained quarter of grain OF
morphine, the deceased took about one
and three quarters grains of morphine in
side of five hours, in addition to thirty-six
drops of laudunum. This would be sufii
cient to cause death.
Coroner Openheimer will render his
verdict in few days and will no doubt
find that death was caused by an over
dose of morphine.

DIR. NICHOLS,
Catarrhal Dangers.

Diseases of the throat and lungs, and
bronchitis, asthma and consumption which
destroy more lives than all other ailments
combined, succumbs almost miraculously
under his treatment. To the pale and
emaciated, to those whose lungs are being
eaten away by destructive liberation, and
to those whose violent coughing, profuse
expectoration and sleepless nights which
make life to be more curse than bless
ing-to such DIR. Nichols can give imme-
diate relief, and, with short course of
treatment can effect radical and perma-
nent cure.
The entire cost of a complete cure under
his treatment is often less than has been
paid by the same person in a single year
for worthless patent medicines.
DR.. Nichols will leave Canton next week

THEY WANT A TRUST.
NEBRASKA, KANSAS, MISSOURI AND
IOWA FARMERS HAVE A SCHEME.

VIII Form Grain aud Live Stock Com
pany which Will Control the wheat
and Cattle Markets of the Country
Alliances Being Formed in Every Con-
gressionaI District.
TOPEKA, KAN, March "A new AL
lance movement contemplates the form
alton of huge grain and live stock
trust, including Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri and Iowa. Frank McGrath,
president of the Farmers Alliance, says
that the project is one Of the results OF
the failure of the Alliance legislatures
TO pass certain bills Legislation, he
says, is too slow means for the
achievement of the Alliance objects.
Mr.. McGrath says that district alliances
are being formed in every Congressional
district. The district alliances will be
made up of sub-alliances. In this way
a constant communication between in
dividual members is to be had.
Brief Outline of the Scheme.
eve will know how many cattle each
individual member of the alliance has
on hand" said Mr.. McGrath, "and he
can hold them without selling for need
of ready cash. A record of these facts
will be kept. No individual member
will sell his grain to option men or
bankers, but when he is Obliged to sell
the grain will be taken by the alliance.
The same thing will follow with cattle.
We will have agents in Kansas City,
Chicago and st. Louis, who will keep
the District alliances posted as TO the
market and the demand. Upon this in
formation the demand will be supplied,
and no more, at fixed price determined
by the alliance. No optionr wheat will
be ON the market. There will be no
| speculating on grain before harvest.
! The four states in this trust will practi-
cally control the wheat and cattle
markets of the United States. The
commission each day will wire farmers
to send in certain amount of wheat or
cattle, as the case may De, calling on
the ones who are
The Hardest Pressed for Cash.
The amount demanded to supply the
market that day will be apportioned
among the districts equally, and in turn
! apport ioned by the district alliance. No
farmer who is a member of the alliance
will sell his products till called Upon.
! By this plan wheat fluctuations in prices
will be avoided. Other state alliances
are expected to join in the movement.
The hardest thing we have to deal with
is to fix the price. We mean to ascer-
tain the exact cost Of the product and
add a reasonable profit to it. This
will give us a standard price tha5 can be
easily maintained. The new scheme is
modelled in every detail after the whisky
trust. OF course you will say hat our
principles will not admit of it, but we
have decided that we must fight the
devil with fire; that is, we must fight
trusts and combinations with trnsts and
combinations. While this scheme will
reverse matters by putting the stock
men and grain men az our mercy, we do
not think any iuiury will result. The
scheme looks visionary, pCuhaps, but
will surely be go

JAY GoULD's SNUB.
The Governor of Georgia Endorsed in the
Pulpit and by the Farmers Alliance.


Especial to the World.)
ATLANTA, Ga, March 2.-Interest in the
recent snubbing of Jay Gould has been
transferred to the pulpit. In his sermon
last night the Rev. DR.. j. B. Hawthorne
indorsed in emphatic language the action
of Governor Northern in refusing to greet
Jay Gould. In the course of his sermon
he said:
"A man may indulge the passion for
money until il gets the complete mastery
of him and renders him insensible to the
influence of moral truth.
"Jay Could is said to be worth $500 o.
600, Surely that is a competency? Why
doesn't he stop and devote his energies to
something nobler2 Because he has not
the moral power to do it. The earth-born
passions rage within him like furnace
heat, and he has no more control OF it
than he has over the cyclone, the volcano
or the earthquake. he has less conscience
to day about making money panic,
wrecking great industries, multiply
lug hardships and woes of the poor
and bribing a Congressman than he ever
had. Jay Gould isa veriIable slave. Some
men are enslaved by drink, some by licen-
tiousuess and some by gluttony, but he is
the rich slave to MammOn, He has sold
himself into everlasting bondage for
money. When the plain old Christian
Commonwealth of Georgia was recently
asked to bow down to itand pay reverence
to this guilty slave, answered through her
noble Chief Executive, she said may, nay,
| and from the mountains to the sea all
people responded 'amen, amen"
To-day the Governor received a letter
/ from Col. L. l.. Polk, the National ALI
| ance president, in which he said
| "Otlicial dignity, when supported by the
dignity of true manhood, always com
mends itself to the approval of the Amer
lean people. Todyism in official life theS
condemn and despise. Please accept ths
cordial grasp of my right hand after read
| ing your letter on the Gould reception
and accept my sincers wishes for the sac
cess of your hopes and prospects"

Maple Sugar Bounty Steal Was Put ln---
Serious Charge Against Two Republi-
can United States Senators.
(Plaln Dealer Specially
WASHINGTON, March 2.-During the de
bate over the sorghum sugar paragraph of
the agricultural appropriation bill to-day
Mr.. Plumb made caustic attack upon
Senator Morrill, of Vermont and also upon
Senator Edmunds, for their insistence
upon bounty being paid to maple sugar
producers as part of the Mckinley tariif
bill. He declared that for a time the
whole bill had revolved around the pay
ment of 2 cents pound duty to the maple
sugar men,
Senator Morrill, interrupted Mr.. Plumb
with some ironical suggestion, and the
Kansas Senator said he would repeat,
that it might go into permanent history,
that the bounty had been put in as mat
ter personal to Senator Morrill,, members
of the finance committee stating it would
aid Senator Morrill, in his reelection. On
the personal solicitations he (Mr. Plumb
had voted for the bounty on the distinct
understanding that itwould be rejected in
conference, but Senator Edmunds had
then written letter which was now, i'll
Senator Cullom's pocket, saying that if the
maple sugar bounty was not retained he
(Mr. Edmunds) would be paired against
the tariff bill.
