NEW York, Jan. l2.-Tidings of a
severe storm on the New England co lst
and inland have been received from many
points. At Birmingham, Conn, a fresh,t
in the Foustonic river broke up the ice
and swept it over the meadows and under
and through bridges. Great damage was
done and railroad communication inter-
rupted. Boat houses and barns have
been foated away in the Naugatuck
valley.
AT Fall River, Mass, a gale from the
South piled in the water and the wharfs
are flooded. Large quantities of goods
have been washed away and thousands
Of feet of lumber are floating about the
hsrbor. Two schooners were badly dam
aged and the fires in the American
Printing company and the Metacomet
mill works were extingushed by the in
coming tide.
At Providence, Il. l., and Newport
the tide was the highest in fifteen years.
Tee railroad tracks and wharves are under
water and buildings have been beaten
down.
At Highland. Mass, a terrific north

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.-The dipIo-
matte and consular appropriation bill was
reported and placed on the calendar.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the army appropriation bill.
Stone of Missouri, taking advantage of
the wide scope of the general debate,
entered upon a general denunciation of
the elections bill. In the course of his re-
marks he referred TO Mr.. Lodge as
representing the Oscar Wild type of state
manship and Senator Hoar as the maternal
~masculinity who represented the New
England Pecksnif.
Grosvenor then took occasion to speak
on the plea of no sectionallsm brought up
by Lannon of Texas Saturday. The de-
bate thei 'l'iiied into a general political
and sectiUur,t k, in which Grosvenor ar
aligned the Democratic PARTY for not
honoring worthy ex-confederates, and
Spinola wanted to know why Northern
Republicans didn't give offices to negroes.
Finally. the army bill was taken up.
Bland offered al amendment providing
that none OF the appropriations for the
pay OF the army shall be paid to officers
detailed 20 state colleges and institutions.
This was ruled out on a point of order,
from which Bland appealed. pending
which the committee rose and the house
adjourned,

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2-Tbe report of
the ballot box committee, which last ses-
sion made an extensive investigation into
Ohio political affairs in connection with
alleged subscriptions by members Of con
gress of stock in a patent ballot box, was
today presented to the house by Chairman
Mason. The main report. which is signed
by all the members of the committee,
finds that the alleged contract was pre-
pared by Richard G. Wood; that all the
signatures thereto were forged. and that
Frank Milward and Frank Dawes were
without evident intent in the transaction:
that Wood uttered said forgery for the
purpose of procuring Governor
Foraker s recommendation of himself to
the mayor of Cincinnati for appointment
to the office of smoke Inspector. The
committee further finds that Governor
Foraker and Murat Halsled aided In ut
teTing said forgery by publishing it in
the Cincinnati COmnierci0l- Gazette. but
finds that neither Foraker nor Halstead,
in u~tteriDg the paper, knew the same was
a forgery. The committee finds that not
one of the persons whose names appeared
on said alleged contract had, or has. either
directly or indirectly, any unlawful, cor
ruDt or improper or any other connection
with or interest in the ballot boxes which
are said to be the subject of the alleged
contract, and there was never any other
contract relating TO said ballot boxes in
which either of these persons alone, or
jointly with others, was in any way in-
teresting.
A supplementary report, signed by all
tha I,AFnha-, a-.a-N rl
finds that the conduct of Wood during
his negotiation with Foraker disclosed his
depravly. They also believed that a care
full scrutiny of the face of the forged pa
per must have shown its false character.
The high stations attained in public af-
fairs by the persons whose names were
forged should nave suggested a vertical
ton OF the corrupt paper before it was
uttered or published. The publication
showing Csmpbelrs name and suppress
ing the other signatures was almost as
bad as the original fabrication of the pa
per. The entire incident. the members
say, is an example OF political methods
deserving the condemnation of all parties
and all good citizens.
Chairman Mason, in a minority re- ort,
does not agree with these additional find.
ings. He does not see that a careful
scrutiny of the forged paper must have
shown its false character. 1t is easy now
to know in January, 1891, what we ought
TO have known in September, 1889.
Whether or not Foraker and Halstead
treated well the gentlemen outraged by
the forgery by not seeine them personally
is a question OF ethics not involved IN the
investigation, nor do : it throw any light
upon the subject as IN who forged AID
who uttered the forgery. Being deceived
is the only offense al n lstcad and
Foraker. They have each made a
reputation and character equal. purhars,
to any OF the gentlemen who were out-
ragged by the forgery. Since they found
they were deceived, they nave done all in
their power as honorable men to make
amends. To ask more seems to MIR.
Mason unjust and he respectfully
protests against the cessure of his
associates in the additional findings sum
married above.

Mr.. Frsk's Opinion OF 1t.

To the Editor of The Leader
DENVER, Colo. Jan. l0.-DEAR SIR
l read with considerable interest your edi-
toriAls in your issue of the 3rd. and fully
endorse them! The attitude of your two
senators reminded me very much of re
construction times in the South. When
a government official came down there to
investigate the outrages they were always
taken charge of by the prominent people
OF the South, aud wined and dined and
much attention shown them
that no investigation could be had. Your
senators when they reached Washington
we're captured by the gold bugs" oil
Wall street. When they have been there
longer and learned more of the world
they will see how they have been duped.
In the light of past events [ can readi-
ly see how the address delivered before
the convention was calculated to stir up
your two senators. But for the life of
me | could not understand what Judge
Groesbeck was taking about when he at
tempted to reply to what l said. l was
strongly tempted to ask the indulgence of
the convention long enough to uncover
the positions taken by Judge Groesbeck.
l think l could have left him in a ridicu-
Ions plight, but l was merely a guest, hav-
ing been invited to make an address, and
did not feel at liberty to enter into a gem
eral discussion, especially without being in
vited to do so.
Judge Groesbeck's remarks at the time
seemed to me ill-timed and without much
force, but in view of what 1 have since
learned, l can agree with your editorial in
regard to the distinguished gentleman.
Very Truly Yours,
A g.. FIsR

NEW YoRK, Jan. IO.-The stock mar
ket today furnished more excitement than
on any day since the great break in No
vember. and while the first tendency OF
prices was upward. there was a natural
reaction toward the close. Dealings IN
the general list, however, were completely
overshadowed BY those in sugar refnerles,
which were given a raise on the compile
ton of the reorganization and the pros
pective payment of S per cent IN cash.
In the general list a rise of nearly s per
cent was scored, but realizations after
wards wiped out the greater portion of
this improvement. The market closed

The recent l'an of Z 5000. 900 francs
il gold by the Bank of France to the
Bank Of England is still the object of
acrimonious criticism. Here is how the
rs, OO0, 900 was transferred from the
lender to the borrower. The loan was
made in ingots of fine gold at the mar
ket rate on the day OF transfer. The
Bank of England was obliged to send to
Paris an agent supplied with an English
treasury bond signed by the first lord of
the treasury as guarantee of reimburse
ment.
The ingotI were delivered in three in
stallments OF 81, 900, 900 each, on three
different days, in the court yard of the
Bank of France, to che English repre-
sentative, and from that the
precious metal was entirely at the lat
ter's risk. When the day of payment
arrives three months hence, if no re-
newal is asked-the loan must be repaid
at the Bank of France, either in ingots
or in pounds sterling, valued at their
weight in fine gold.-Paris Cor. Epoch.

New YoRK, Jan. l2.-Mrs. Andrew
Fl. Calaum, the wife of q fish merchant
doing business at lsS Duane street, and
living in Rutherford, n. j., came to
town on Monday in search Of a servant.
She found a girl Who said her name was
Kate Reynolds. On Mr.. Calaum's re-
turn home on Wednesday night his wife
announced that she had discharged the
girl because she was afraid o-lrave- her in
the house. She had allowed her to re-
main until the morning. however. and on
Thursday Mr.. Calaum ratified his wifs's
action by handing the girl 81 for her two
days services and telling her - 90. Al
though hired at the rate OF $l2 a month,
Miss Reynolds demanded 50. Alter
some parleY, during which she called him
thief and murderer, Mr.. Calaum
gave her that amount She appeared to
be satisfied, and he proceeded to escort
her TO the door. As they passed through
the hall Miss Reynolds snatched up a
dolls baby carriage and smashed it on his
head. She then retreated to the kitchen,
and when be followed her threw over him
the contents of a kettle OF hot oat meal
which was cooking on the stove. With
his clothes dripping with the steaming
oatmeal Mr.. Calaum seized her Just as
she was about to grab a carving knife,
and succeed in making her a prisoner.
He her began to force her toward the
kitchen door. Although an athletic man
it was ali he could do to get her out OF
the house.
The expelled housemaid proceeded to
justify her expulsion by breaking one win
dow after another as she ran around the
house. She had nearly all the panes out
OF three windows, and had nearly demol-
ished a window before the village con-
stable appeared and took her into custody.
When she was arraigned 10 the court of q
Justice of the peace she kept herself un-
der control Tor a time, and declared with
apparent truth that she did not know
what she was doing when she threw oat
meal over Mr.. Calaum and smashed the
windows. When, however, Mrs. Calaum
took the witness chair the woman
stealthily approached until she was neal
enough, and then, with a panther like
spring. Jumped upon her and began claw.
ing at her eyes with her nails. She had
nearly ruined Mrs. Calaum left eye when
she was pulled of by the court officers.
She then turned on them and it took the
united efforts of six men to make her
prisoner and strap her arms and legs.
She shrieked while she struggled aud the
court room was a pandemonium while the
struggled continued. She said in court
that her name was 0'Keefe. She was
taken to Hackensack TO await trial.

The increase in the ocean cable and
land telegraph facilities during the dec
ade is again indicative of the growth of
the city of New York, for the entire sys-
tenn is tributary to and greatly depend
ent upon the metropolis. In 1880 there
were Isl, 645 miles of cables in existence.
In 1890 there were 2s3, 917. The West
ern Union and Postal companies now
control 77S,997 miles of wires, against a
total of 233, 534 in 1880. There were
10,O77 offices in operation during 1880,
but their number has now been increased
to 22,3s2. The total number of mes
sages sent over the wires in 1888 was
39,512, 904, but the totals now estimated
for 1890 at SO, 1884, 627. The receipts for 1880
were s1G,s97 ,94s. Last year they were
$34, s3,2s2. The profits in 1880 were
S1,3S3.379, but during the year 1890 they
are estimated at $40, 123, 29S. The ex-
penses for 1880 were s., 49S, 293, while
for last year the estimate is SIG. 74O. 600.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA verdict OF
1900 damages was returned by a jury
in the Queens county supreme court, 10
LouR Island City, against Father Alloy
sius Steffens. pastor of St. Joseph's
Roman Catholic Church, Woodhaven,
who is accused of alternating the affections
of Carpenter Henry Banas' wife, Rosa.
Bauas sued for $4,000. The case was
tried last October, but the jury disagreed.
When it was again called for trial, last
Wednesday afternoon. Father Steffens,
his counsel, and witnesses had all gone
home. Justice Dykman insisted, however,
that the trial should proceed. Bana and
a former servant in Father Steffens' house
were the only witnesses examined. Banas
said he married his wife on November 4,
1889, when she was Father Steffens'
housekeeper. They lived together for
awhile, and then Mrs. Banas returned to
Father Steffens' house, ana insisted on
remaining there. Bauas also testified
that he once saw Father Steffens On a sofa
with his arm around Mrs. Banas; kissing
her. The servant girl, who had been
in Father Steffens' house two weeks.
gave corroborative testimony. In his
charge to the jury Justice Dyknau
said that, according to the evidence,
the priest was not only guilty of alternating
the affections Of Bana's wife, but was al
so guilty of a crime against the woman.
and that it appeared to be established be
Yond a doubt that the priest kept her in
his house for the purpose oil seducing
her. Father Steifens and his counsel did
not know that the case had been tried
until they read it in this mornings pa
pers. They came to court early, excited
and apprehensive. Sharp words passed
between the lawyers alter the verdict was
announced. Justice Dykman gave the
defense ten days IN which TO make a mo-

LONDON, Jan. 1.-Two wildeyed boys
named Davis and Abelson sailed today on
the Gallia, bound Tor the wild west. -
They carry a complete arsenal of bowie
knives and other implements of war.
Their parents are wealthy people who.
after useless entreaty, have concluded to
let their boys go on their adventurous
tour. They have no idea where they are
going, but imagine they will strike Indians
and cowboys on Broadway, and New
York had better lookout for a wild whoop
when the Gallia arrives. 1t is needless to
say that as soon as they arrive at Pine
Ridge agency, where they will probably
go, they will end the Indian war at one fell
swoop and give Gen. Miles enough points
to last for a dozen campaigns.
