SCENES AT THE GOULD MANSION.
Great Crowd in Front of the Residence
-EuIogistic Resolutions

-Eulogistic Resolutions.
NEW YORK, Dec. Fifth avenue. in the
neighborhood of the Gould house was
alive yesterday with curious men and
women who had morbid desire to see the
place in which the great financier had lived
and died. For every man in the crowd
there was at least three women, and the
throng represented all walks of life When
the doors of the house would open to admit
an intimate friend of the family or a mes
senger with floral gifts, some of the curious
would stop to look in, and this would
check the progress of the mass behind and
attract those in front The others across
the street, thinking something had hap
pened within the house, would stand and
stare. As result of this a regular block
occurred more than a score of times during
the afternoon.
Tribute from the Western Union.
The funeral will begin at p. m. today
and the body will be taken to Woodlawn
cemetery tomorrow. The directors of the
Western Union Saturday adoped a highly
eulogistic tribute to the dead financier, de-
claring that many of his acts which were
perfectly right and proper had been dis
torted into crimes; that he was an expert
manager of railways and that the indus

to 100000 men daily and his abilities had

Locomotive Brotherhood on Record.
AT Little Rock, Ark. Division No. 1s2,
Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers, de-
clared in resolutions adopted at a meeting
held Saturday that in the death of Mr..
Gould we in common with the vast army
of locomotive engineers and organized la
Dor have lost one of its grandest and most
liberal benefactors.' He possessed the con-
fidence of the laboring man as well as that
OF the capitalist, and by this he has proved
himself one of the most remarkable and
successful financiers of the country, and
this community has lost man who has
done more to develop the great southwest

zen of this great land may point with pride

GOING TO BOTTLE HIS SPIRIT.
4 Muskegon SpirituaIist Who Will Try an
Interesting Experiment.

MUsKEGOS, Mich, Dec. "a PROMINENT
spiritualist of this city has ..,..sa.eu a
scheme by which he hopes at death to be
able to prove positively to those in the ma
terial state that his spirit exists after its
separation from the body He went to
Pittsburg short time ago and obtained
large glass cylinder so constructed that it
can be sealed air-tight in a moments time
In this cylinder he has Suspended with fine
copper wire two pieces of metal so light
that they can be brought in contact with
each other by the slightest motion of the
air shut within the cylinder These wires
pass through the cylinder, one being con-
nected with a battery and the other with a
telegraphic instrument
Will BE Sealed Up just Before Death.
He has made arrangements for his friends
at his death and just before the spirit leaves
his body-to seal him in the cylinder that his
spirit may be prevented from taking its de-
parture, and at the same time enabled by
a series of systematic disturbances of the
air within the cylinder to communicate
with his friends through the telegraph
instrument. As he is dying with consump-

pertinent pro,es So sssful his friends arr
pledged after three days to unseal the cyiin-
der and allow the spirit to depart and then
seal up and bury the remains.

Death of a Woman Worker.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Mary Allen West,
editor of The Union Signal and for many
years prominent in Woman's Christian
Temperance Union work, died on Dec l. in
Toxic, Japan. The news reached Chicago
Saturday in cablegram to Miss Frances
Willard. The cause of Miss Vests death
is not yet known, but it was probably a
general breaking down from over-work.
Miss West LETT Chicago on the 1st of last
January for a trip around the world She
was IS years old and a native of Illinois.
Miss West associated herself with The
Union Signal in 1885, when Miss Willard,

FRONT STREET BULKHEAD,

SEATTLE, Feb. II.
To THE EDITOR: l desire to explain what
seems to me to be an inaccuracy in our reuort
of the proceedings before the city council for
the removal OF n dangerous se walk on Front
street near Madison, or at last likely to lead 70
a misrepresentation.
The streets at Front I'd Madison are already
bulkheGded and TIE bulEheads are the property
OF the city and the city has exclusive control
and supervision over them.
If it wers true that had "pettioned the city
TO bulkhesd the streets a; Front and Madison, :"
knowing that they had already done so. il would
be a very absurd and ridiculous proposition on
MY part. aud fail to comprehend why should
be compelled to bulkhead at my own expense"
when the place is already occupied by the city
bulkhead. making it impossible for me to do So
The question OF who has q right to build a
bulkhead is not under discussion in this case
The fact that the city owns aud controls this
property and that ii is in an unsafe and danger
ous con 3ition, is sufficient. Who is responsible
or why it is SO, are questions the settlement OF
which might be postponed, if need he, until
after the election. because the delay IN ght not
be dangerous or n Srest public Inconvenience.
The petition was that the city remove a side
walk which projected over lots on which
wished TO erect q building. and secure a bulk
head which is in adangeroUs condition.

for what country did the federal armies
fight; and whose country is it that today
flies the flag which the federal armies re-
stored to its supremacy over North and
South?
Complaints Of sectionalism come with
very bad grace from the South. and the
plea of Grady was but the insincere elo-
quence Of an eminent political Jury law
yer" Grady knew that the South had
really no case against the North, so far as
the survival of sectionglism was con-
cerned, for it is at the South rather than
at the North where sectionalism still most
strongly stunts the thoughts and colors
the speech of the people. This is natural,
because while the civil war was a
sharp thorn in the flesh of nearly
every Southern state, the real
North, outside of Pennsylvania, can
hardly be said to have known that war
was raging, except when they paid their
taxes or saw trains of wounded soldiers
arrive from the front.
There is nothing remarkable about the
stubborn survival of sectionalism at the
South; it is not pleasant political or So
cial situation, but it is a fact which the
eloquence of Grady was exhausted in a
vain effort to obscure.

TO BE TAKEN OUT IN WALKING.

Senator Hill has carried out his pro-
gramme so far as the state of New York is
concerned. In spite of the storming and
waiting of the supporters of Mr.. Cleveland,
he has held his February convention and
got himself duly Endorsed for the presi-
dency. 1t is as certain as any event of
the future can be that the entire vote of
New York in the Chicago convention will
be cast for David B. HILL And if it
should become evident that Hill cannot
be nominated, the vast influence of the
Empire state will be thrown to whomso-
ever he desires to have it, whether it be
German, Gray, Boies or Flower.
The protests of the Cleveland men
against this course will avail nothing.
They may go to Chicago and skirmish
around on the outside of the convention.
but the solid vote of their state will be
Hills. 1t is not within the bounds of
possibility that Cleveland will be nom
mated against the wishes of his own state,
and he may be regarded as out of the pres
dental race as completely as if the con-
vcntion had already met and named an
other man.
OF course the New York Cleveland wor-
shippers will continue to wall, but they will
take it out in wailing. Hill is strong and
determined. his position is impregnable,
and, most important of all, he has the
support of a vast majority of the Demo-
Gratis of New York, for without that sup
port he could not have successfully accom-
plished what he has already done.

THE TICKET COMPLETED.


Inc Republican city convention COM
pieted Its labors yesterday afternoon by
the nomination of Orange Jacobs for cor
poration counsel, J. w. Corson for CITY
attorney, +. NJ. Davis for city clerk and
y. M Holloway and II. L. sturner for
members OF the board of fire commission
ers.
The ticket thus presented to tho people
is one OF exceptional strength, and one for
which every Republican elector can give
his ballot heartily and cheerfully. From
end to end 1t is composed of loyal citizens
OF Seattle and honorable business and
professional men. Seldom are the electors
OF a large city given an opportunity to cast
their ballots tor ticket SO entirely clean
and above reproach.
That the work of the convention viii be
ratified by the people at the polls is GER
tain, provided only that the Republicans
OF Seattle do their full duty. The party
enters the contest harmonious, united and
enthusiastic, and, with such a ticket, there
should be no doubt of the result.

CHS COUNTRY"

The Southern Hdtchmdn of the 9th inst,
Q weekly newspaper published at Clinton,
Louisiana, contains the following card
To the Voters Of the Parish Of East Fcliei1aa: II

Thirteenth judicial district court . have made
mn arrangement with Mr.. r. I. Jackson to serve

Joseph c. Reilly, who describes today
Confederate soldier as having "lost his
leg in defense of his country. is president
of the Democratic executive committee of
the parish of East Feliciana and evidently
n leader of the best class of Democrats in
his community. Nevertheless at the dis.
lance of twenty-seven years from the close
oe the rebellion an ex-Confederate soldier
"a still publicly described as Having lost
his lep in defense of his country" His
country" was not the United States, but
the Southern Confederacy, when he lost
his leg. and today, when the Southern
Confederacy has been dead twenty-seven
veors IL is still .'his country" in the press
of Louisiana.
And vet the Northern Democracy are
never tired of charging the Republican
norty with sectionalism; with waving
the bloody shirt" with unjustly i'm
neaching the sincerity of the Grady
eloouence prepared for Northern con-

foaorate soldier at this late day as having
Lost his leg lin defense of his country"
- 40 a matter of fact he lost it IN
,.holI;on against his country, is not
o,rivalent TO saluting the Confederate

a. long as the South defines 'his coun-

of gross sectionalism fairly lies against it,
