hair, the thick, rounded muscles standing
out In that fullness of maturity that usually
denotes the last gain Of stubborn strength
at the Cost of at least some Of the
speed and suppleness of youth.
and indeed from every point OF
view he looked man past his prime all In
all but those undying qualities, iron will
and unfinching courage. A man prema-
turely old, and even in years beyond the
meridian of life as far as physique went he
still wore the look of winner, though op-
posed to him was youth, courage, skill,
speed and such a form as promised more
than any prize fighter that had ever faced

its result, 1 believe the big fellow stood up

A prominent politician of this city was
blufed into placing 81, 500 ON Corbett
against $500 on Sullivan. 1t was told
around the city yesterday as good joke.
From the returns of the fight It appears
that the joke is on the other side, and the
politician can laugh.

Natural Gas Explosion Occurs at Captain
c. M. Fairman's House.
Monday evening a natural gas explosion
at Captain G. M. Fairman's house ON Cen
ter avenue, near Watt street, scared the
neighbors badly, but only did slight DAM
age. Mrs. Fairman had detected escaping
gas in the yard and a man from the Phila-
delphia Company came to turn of the gas,
but inadvertently turned on full head.
He lit match, threw it on the grass, a
small fame resulting. After the man left
several other leaks caught fire and Mrs.
Fairman used hose in trying to extin-
guish the flames. Another man was sent
for by Captain Fairman when he came
home. The explosion occurred as the sec
ond man arrived. The bottom of the bay
window was blown off and the cellar filled
with flames. An alarm was turned in,
Chief Steele soon arrived and the leak was
discovered and repaired. Neighboring res
idents were badly frightened by the explo-

Indignant ut the Gossip About His Absence
From Yesterdays Cabinet Meeting.
Secretary Blaine is reported to be extremely
annoyed today because gossip, which just now
has keen relish for all things political, has at
tached significance to his absence from the cab
met meeting yesterday.
He is said to feel that injustice has been done
him in presupposing sinister motive attach
ing to his absence. As matter of fact Secre-
tary Blaine did not think that any cabinet meet
ing would be held, it is said
He received no intimation to that effect from
the White House and supposed that the Presi-
dent had returned from his trip to Rochester
tired and would not call q meeting, especially
as Secretary Foster way away.
THE SECRETARY At HOME TODAY.
Secretary Blaine did not call at the White
House today and was not at the State Depart
ment. 1t is understood that he feels little
fatigued after his New York trip and remained
at his residence.
NO CABINET MEETING CALLED.
At the White House today it is learned that
a cabinet meeting was not called yesterday, the
President having nothing of particular moment
to lay before his advisers, but that the members
who dropped in had an informal talk about
matters in general.

Commissioner Raum Of the pension bureau
appeared before the House pension Office inyes-

Mr.. Enloe was not present. The
commissioner had prepared long statement for

ceiTed in evidence, as the members of the COM
mittee desired 20 examine il first.
The most important information contained

THE CENSUS INVESTIGATION.
Mr.. j. f. Richards Criticises the Admins.
tration Of the Office.

tration of the Office.
Mr.. J. F. Richards, formerly of the agricul-
tural division of the census bureau, appeared
before the House committee on the eleventh
census this morning. He thought that the
selection of special agents in that division and
in the division of wealth and taxation was very
unfortunate.
1t was matter of current talk that Special
Agent John Hyde Of the agricultural division
was especially ignorant of agricultural matters
He (witness) had been assigned to write re-
port on the sugar beet industry, and in doing
so had had correspondence with all the manu-
facturers in the country, which had been
carried on On paper and envelopes fur
nished by himself. On the 18Th
of June, 1891, he had received notice that his
services were no longer required. and Mr. HYDE
had asked him to turn over the letters which he
had received from the manufacturers. This he
had refuGed to do, stating that the letters were
his private property. A few days afterward he
was arrested for purloining government papers
The statement that he had stolen papers was an
infamous lie, and he had SO stated to the court
He had given bond for his appearance, and
the case had been allowed to hang along unit.
October, Notwithstanding he had made written
and oral demands that he should be given
speedy trial. In the latter part OF October the
case was called up and was nolle pressed by the
government. and Judge Bradley had denounced
the prosecution as d high-handed outrage.
DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THE UNION SOLDIER
Mr.. Richards went on to criticise the admin
istration of the census bureau for discriminate
ing against the Union soldiers in the matter of
dismissal and in favor OF those who had served
in the confederate cause. One of the persons
retained while Union republicans were dis
charged YVES a man who attempted to abduct
President Lincoln and take him within the con-
federate lines. And another was woman who,
on hearing of Sherman's death, had exclaimed:
