TWO PHILADELPHIA FAILURES.

Dealers in Woolen and Morocco Goods
Forced to the Wall.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. "a judgment
note, with execution for 1868 was
entered to-day against Joseph Culbert,
woolen goods manufacturer, by Jo-
siah Linton & Co. The parties
interested in the transaction refused to-
night to give particulars regarding the La
bilities and assets of Mr. Culbert, but it is
said that the former will be heavy.
Mr. Culbert's difficulties are due to the
suspension of j. H. Coats & Co.
Albert A. Guiges, the morocco manu-
facturer, against whom numerous judg-
ments we're issued yesterday, made an as
signment to-day, for the benefit of his
creditors, to Morris NJ. Newman. Mr..
Guiges' liabilities are estimated at about
$3.50, 200. His assets are not known, but
they will not nearly equal his Liabilities.

Troy, N. Y, Feb. 5.-[Special. ]-Charles
II. Benedict, confidential bookkeeper for
H. Clay Bascom. the widely-known Prohi-
bitionist, disappeared suddenly little
while ago. Mr. Bascom put an expert to
work ON the books, but informed questioners
that the relations existing between Bene-
dict and himself were his own business.
Benedict was member of the official
board of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and to all appearances, very devout Chris
tian. People boldly asserted that Bene-
diets prominent-connecton with the church
alone saved him from public disgrace.
Some of the congregation did not like this
sort of talk, and appointed a committee of
investigation. This committee called on
Mr.. Bascom and soon learned that Benedict
was defaulter for several thousand dollars.
Benedict, who left his unsuspecting wife
behind, was last heard from in Atlanta He
will not be prosecuted.

formation he again averred the falsity of
the published charges. Had your arrest
been followed by retraction or
even by silence, it would have been possi-
BILE to infer that no actual malice instigated
the original publication. You seemed de-
termined, however, to leave no possible
room for such inference. From one of
these ibelous editorials published only the
week before the trial began 1t would seem
you were acting on the amazing theory that
If newspaper accuses man OF crime, he
is conclusively presumed 10 be guilty until
he proves his innocence in court of JUS
tice, and that even there his own
denials are entitled to no weight.
AT the trial, even after the prosecutor
proved his innocence, you conceded moth
Ing fully, although unable to offer Scln-
tilla of evidence to establish the truth of
the charges, and not more than sclntilla
OF evidence to disprove the malice. The
case was so clear as TO make it absurd to
suppose any twelve men who could have
been selected from the jury panel would
have acquitted you. Nearly two weeks
have elapsed since your conviction, yet not
one word of explanation, retraction
or apology has appeared in your
newspaper. Under the circumstances, to
make the sentence unduly light would be to
turn the proceedings into mockery and to

may add that If you had libelled the hum

A Brakeman Falls From the Top of Car. 9
a Strike Possible.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. Especial telegram
to The HERALD. The Union Pacific rail-
way is resting upon a sleeping volcano
Already there are faint mutterings of an
explosion, and if it comes to pass there
will be one of the biggest strikes known to
railroad history. The proceedings of the
two grievance committees now in session
here have been guarded from publicity
with the utmost care, and interested parties
on both sides have met newspaper inquiries
with the statement that everything was
lovely and there was no danger of trouble.
If that was true then a new spirit has
come over affairs. The officers of the two
committees laid their grievances before
Assistant General Manager Dickinson last
Tuesday. Nearly a week has elapsed, and
the trainmen have received no
reply. The full committees expected
TO have a conference with Mr.. Dickinson
to-day, but that gentleman had not re-
turned from a trip 10 Chicago. The mem
bers of the committees show some irrita-
ton and are not as guarded as formerly.
1t appears from their statements that their
grievances have been put TO the railroad
company as demands, and they say with
emphasis that they will insist on their
rights. They assert earnestly, and no
doubt honestly. that they hope there will
be no strike, but they admit that it is pos
sible, and announce with evident conf
dence that they are prepared for such an
emergency. They speak of the situation
as fight" They intimate strongly that
the Union Pacific must sccede to their de-
mands, and they declare that the strike, if
it comes, will stop every wheel on
the entire system. From all this
it appears that the conductors and brake
men are determined to force their claims to
an issue, and that they have carefully con-
sidered both the possibility and the prac-
ticability of a strike as an alternative.
They hope for peace but are prepared for
war. Their demands include one for an
increase Of wages on some divisions, and
there are some proposed changes in rules
that are likely to be quite as troublesome
AS one of the trainmen said: "They NAV
appear trifing to the public, but they are
important TO us, and we mean business"

BAFFLED KAISER
An Engineer Refuses to Obey
the EmperOr's Orders
To Take special Back on the Main Track
He Would Not Endanger Their
Ltves-Finally Rewarded

Especial to THE MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch.l
NEW YORK, Feb. IA Sun special from
Berlin says: Berlin is just low discussing
two railway anecdotes related of the En-
peror during his hunting trip in Silesia.
His majesty's host had engaged special
train to convey the party from his castle to
a remote sitting box. A siding was speci-
ally constructed there on which the train
could be shunted until late in the ternoon
so as not to interfere with the ordinary
traffic of the road. On the morning of the
second day, many Of the party having drank
heavily, Count Zutzewitz fell asleep in the
waiting room of their hosts private station
and it was impossible to arouse him. His
companions managed to get the Emperor
into the train without his seeing the count.
The train had gone quite a ways when the
Emperor mi sed the count and being told
the cause of his absence, insisted that the
train should return. The engineer refused
to obey his maiesty's orders, saying he
would not risk their lives by returning I'M
expectedly on the main line. The answer
made the Kaiser irritable the rest of the
day, but the next morning he summoned
the man to his presence, commended him
| for his conduct and gave him hundred
| marks.
| Last week the Emperor ordered special
| train to take him to Kiel during the night.
He insisted that nobody should be informed
of the fact except his immediate encourage,
saying that he wished TO surprise his
brother, Prince Henry, bed. The special
train was to leave Lehrter station at mid
night, half an hour after the regular Ham
burg express. The Emperor was INFORM ed
that green lantern attached to the last
carriage of the express would warn station
masters that pilot engine followed, which
really preceded the Kaiser's special of three
carriages. AT the appointed hour the En-
peror assembled the ordinary staircase of
the Lehrter station, wearing military
cloak with high collar, which hid his face.
He was accompanied by only three officers.
Nobody noticed them. They boarded the
special train and all went well until they
reached Neumunster There the oft Gals,
believing that the pilot engine was merely
an ordinary one, stopped the Kaiser S
special half an hour, and after that it was
stopped at nearly every station along the
line. The Emperor, not daring to reveal
himself, ragged with Impotence and arrived
at Kiel two hours late. He walked to the
harbor and finally had the satisfaction OF
surprising Prince Henry.

anti-Lottery Law Constitutional.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The United States
supreme court to- day upheld the constitu-
tionality of the anti-lottery affirming the
decision in the cases of publishers and two
New Orleans newspapers indicted on the
charges of sending through the mails news
papers containing lottery advertisements.
The court said the opinion in the case of
ex- parte jackson held the power vested in
Congress to establish postoffices and post
roads embraced the regulation of the en-
tire postal system of the country and
designated what may and what may not be
excluded. The power granted Congress
was complete and carried with it power to
forbid the use of the mails in aid of the
preparation of crime or immortality. The
court says 1t must be left to Congress in
the exercise of q sound discretion to de-
termine what shall be excluded. There is
no abridgement of the freedom Of the press
for the reason the government does not
prohibit communication by other means
but simply through government agencies
which it controls

UTAH IN CONGRESS
The Question of Statehood Likely
to Become a Political Issue.
Bushnell's Resolution an Amendment to the
Constitution that Polygamy Shall Never
Exist in the United States

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The question of
Utah statehood is likely to become one of the
political issues of the present Congress. A
bill is now pending in the House for the ad-
mission of that territory as a state and to-
day Representative Bushnell, of Wiscon-
sin, introduced a resolution on the subject
The resolution declares Utah has larger
population than the three adjoining states
of Wyoming, Idaho and Nevada combined :;
that the President in his last annual mes
sage recommended that Utah be kept out of
statehood until there was satisfactory evil
dence that effective laws against polygamy
would be made and maintained, because as
a territory Congress could reach and
punish polygamy, while if state it could
not do so. He said that if the United
States constitution was amended so as to
prohibit polygamy then there would be no
excuse for not admitting Utah as state.
There was submitted to the several states
thea following, to be known as article six
teen, of amendments thereto: ''Polygamy
shall never exist within the United States
or any place subject to their Jurisdiction.
Congress shall have power to make all
needful laws for the enforcement of this
article and the punishment of its viola
