Especial to THE HERALp-Examiner Dispatch. !
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1L.-There was an
other conference of the anti-Harrison Re-
publicans here yesterday, at which nearly
every district was represented. 1t was de-
eided to push the work of organizing the
stale for Blaine. w. C. Tsrleton, private
secretary for Colonel Conger, of OHIO. a
member Of the national Republican com
mittee, was present and said TO the meet
ing, as coming from Colonel Conger, that
Blaine will be a candidate. Mr.. Tarleton
said that during the recent meeting of the
national committee Mr.. Conger had four
hours talk with Mr.. Blaine and was given
assurance that the plumed knight would
allow the use of his name before the Min
nespolis convention. The meeting was
much more enthusiastic than any previ-
ously held. A sentiment prevailed that
President Harrison's message in ignoring
the reciprocity ideas strengthens Blaine's
candidacy. One of the men in the meeting
remarked, "lf we win next year we must
win on reciprocity platform. Mr. Harri-
son, by his message, says be does not want
to be candidate on platform of that

lishAd

BosToN, Dec. 1.-THE Globe says Henry
L. Norcrcss. of Somerville, a note broker
doing business at - Pearl street, has not
been seen in his Office since last week and
other occupants of his Semerville house
say he was killed in a railway accident
soout that time. New York detectives
were In town today trying to identity the
missing man as the mysterious bomb
tnrower in Russell Sage's office last Friday.
Detectives brought with them portions of
the trousers worn by the bomo-thrower as
well as portions of his coat. According to
the Globe, these were taken to Norcross'
residence this afternoon and the undercloth-
ing positively Identified by Mrs. Norcross
as belonging to her husband. On the trous-
ers o. the dead man were buttons bearing
the print Brooks, Tailor, Boston -
Pieces of the clothing were taken to
Brooks store this afternoon There it
was positively stated the firm had made
for Henry Norcross q coat of the cloth
presented and also pair of trousers of the
same cloth as the other piece furnished
by the detective. The button was
also identified as q peculiar
one in use by this house
Further investigation tonight leaves
scarcely any room for doubt the bonn b.
thrower and Norcross are Identical His
father, who was seen tonight believes
such is the fact. A photograph of the
oead-bomb thrower was compared with a
likeness of Norcross taken about six mon tbs
ago and the resem blance was most striking

TESTING THE ENa,NEEk,s EyEsyeHr

u u
The official OF q leading English railway
company, according to an Englishmau re-
Gently in this country, tells good story
about one OF the engine drivers of his
line. The engine driver was growing old
and frequent reports were made to the
directors that his eyesight was not az
good as it should be. This the old man
stoutly denied, but, nevertheless, there is
every reason to believe that his ewes
were getting q trife dim. However. he
stoutly maintained that his eyes were NOT
only strong, but phenomenslly strong, and
that these criticisms were made by Jealous
fellow engine drivers.
The test for eyesight on that line was
made by doctor, who lived In q house
facing large common. When he wished
to test the mans eyes he used to say:
Look over there and see what you cSn
see." This fact had got known to the
employees OF the railway, and when the
old engine driver waskgoing to be examip
ed ne arranged with his son that he
should take his bicycle about half a mile
across the common and stoop down and
oil 1t.
In due time the old engine driver wa,
led to the window and the Doctor said,
as usual, What can you sect"
The old man peered out and said:
well, l see young man STOPPING
down beside q bicycle"
'Do youp replied the doctor, ~ can.
not see anything at all"
Cannon" said the engine driver
Cant you see itl Why, he's oilinR il. u
On this the doctor took up a pair OF
fieldglasses on the table, and, looking Out
behind, quite plainly saw young mar
STOPPING down, oiling his bicycle.
Magnificent sight!" he said. 'Maenifi
cent?" And to this dsy the engine drive,
| is taking his 40 shiliings week with
striking regula.ity.-Toronto Natl.

ADJUSTMENTS.
'tFERNCLIFF.O

the latest addition to the Grismer roper
toire, possesses many elements of strength,
while at the same time peryaded with
one weakness. Its situations are strong.
the humorous and pathetic are blended to
excellent proportions, aud the interest of
the hearer is kept in intense expectancy
without any intimation of how things will
develop. All these features are essential to
a good play. The element of pervading
weakness is the improoability of events
which painfully impressed itself. Here
is the skeleton o. the plot
Tom Hewins is a young man with wife,
and two children. William Hilton is an
old admirer of Hewins wife, outwardly
resigned to his fate but in fact secretly
nursing determination to win back by
foul means the fair one who was secured
by Hewins in honorable suit The civil
war arises, and Hewins obtains an intu-
entail position in the provost marshais
office. He has Tom Hewins drafted. Toms
younger brother volunteers in his place.
and Hilton's game is blocked After
few months Hilton reports the younger
brother deserter. surmsing in way only
the author can con ceive that this would
lead Tom to efface the disgrace by going
to the front himself. Tom goes, leaving u
helpless wife and the scheming rogue to-
gether. The rogue reports the husband
dead. secures the home place, and wins the
consent of the relict and widow to mar
riage. Both brothers return by coinci-
dence the same night, and by another COIN
cidence, the very night of the wedding.
BY another coincidence the wife faints at
the altar, and finally is saved by her own
truly loved husband.
A very strong feature of "Ferncliff', is
that, while dealing with war incidents, it
is devoid of sectional color and of exciting
battle scenes. Nothing that can in the re-
hottest degree wound the seusibiities of
the northern or the southern soldiers is
present. Neither is there any attempt to
balance patriotism by letting q sentiment
on one side stand against sentiment on
the other.
Jsseph Grismer Phoebe Davies and Ar
thur Livingston were the bright lights OF
the evening. Miss Macouaid. Mrs.
Stevens and Scott Cooper made able sec
onds. Little Laura Crews, who acted so
charmiugly the part of Editha in 1.-THE

New YORK Insurance hatrers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1l.-Insurance people
are still talking about the withdrawal OF
the Home Insurance company from the
pool. President Heald, Of that company,
spoke freely on the subject today: "This
company" said he, Imply cancelled cer-
tain risks on cotton bearing roads In the
south. There have been such tremendous
crops of cotton that it has been piled sky
high so it would not be possible to reach
much of it in case of fire. Risks
have increased four fold and
not the rate of insurance. The
northwest phenomenal grain crop has
congested the elevators and railroads also.
Or course this increases our risk. No, l
cannot say anything about any action we
may take on the situation in the north
east"

Calls Resolution Regarding Cuban Indepen

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE joint resolu-
tion introduced yesterday by Senator Call
authorizing the President to open negotia-
tons with Spain is identical with the one
introduced by him last session and pro-
vides that the President be requested TO
open negotiations with the government of
Spain for the purpose OF inducing that gov
ernment TO consent to the establishment on
the island of Cubs of a free aud indepen-
dent republic, such consent to be given
upon payment by Cuba to the government
of Spain of such sum of money as may be
equivalent both to the value of public prop
erty belonging to Spain in the island and
TO the REIMBURSEMENT of her sovereign
rights, and also to securing by treaty of
such commercial advantages as may be
stipulated.

An Adventurous Career OF an Old Stage Line
Driver.

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Dec. s.-w. j. Gidley is
manager Of the stage line between Gillette and
Buffalo and agent at the former place He has
pretty velvety job and is certainly entitled to
preferred berth, for he has been in the stage
business thirty years. During that period he
has enjoyed in high degree the confidence of
his employer and has never once failed in the
performal Of his duty.
Mr.. Gidley started driving in 1861 for the
Northwestern Transportation company and was
with that concern continuously for twenty eight
years. He drove into the British possess ons
twenty years ago aud was prominent driver
In Minnesota Dakota and Wyoming when a
| driver was reckoned lone of the people"
During his career on the hurricane COX of a
Concord. MIR. Gidley has had many thrilling ex-
perlences. DE has participated time and aga
| IN battles with red and VIII to reuegades and
mas many Scars. he came out Z one engage
meut with six ounces of buckslot IN his arat-
omy and wears the lead on his watch chain
Gldley recalls as his worst adv. nture-the
| one that left him gray haired--an engagement
tn wolves in the bad lands of Dakota. He
was driving six horses and had full load of
! passengers. 1t was mid-winter intensely cold
| and with two feet more OF snow everywhere
| A pa k of woIye made determined assault ON
the outfit. For three hours il was a desDerate
patlle for llfe NO less than thirty wolves were
shot Gown. Finding destruction was almost Ger
tain, Giuley tied The lines 10 the brake and
walking out on the tongue leaped on tie back
| OF one OF the swing" horses from this per-
ilous position with The wolves Swapping at him
he managed to loose the team of leaders. aha
wolves took after the liberated horses and inc
coach was brought into a station safely
Toe very nearest Gidley came to beng killed
oy road AGENTS, he says. WIS one nj ht between
Bismarck and Deadwooi. The treasure box
and express messenger were both full and the
night was pitch dark. He thinks there was mot
less than three N lion dollars worth Of gold on
the stage" This was more money than he
had ever had in his keeping at ore
time before and it made him ner-
vous. He was suddenly brought to
full realization of his danger
by stern command to halt with tee accom1a-
nlment of clicking rife and revolver hammers
He stop led at once and recogniz d by their
actlonS Two Of worst desperadoes ever at
large on earth. The highwaymen took the gold
| roobed tbe passengers, bound and gagged the
driver and forced his body into the hollow
stump OF cottonwood tree.
Then the thieves sat down and began to
spe cuiate on plan to get the Doodle
safely away. He heard somebody yell ''Oh God ~
The whole business had been a realistic
dream. He had fallen asleep and slid Gown
into the boot OF the stage. where he had be-
come firmly wedged in among the mail bags
The gag In his mouth was monstrous chew of
tobacco, which was nearly Strangling him The
voice that awakened him belonged to nervous
passenger who had become alarmed at the
rough riding.
