A Convict Boycotted.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, Feb. l9-The Off
cials of the Idaho penitentiarv have a
nut to crack in the case of John Wilson,
sent up for six years for horse. stealing.
He IS a desperate rascal. In July last
he was detected In an effort to saw out of
his cell. and by way of punishment he
was lmmured in the dark cell. After a
few days he informed the warden that if
liberated from the dark cell he would
betray a conspiracy in which a number of
c%onvicts were implicated. The warden
agreed to this. and Wilson told how the
water squad had, without his assistance,
laid a trap for the guards. He told
where rifles were located, and the weap-
ons were found. A sensational prison
break was thus avoided. His fellow con
victs learned Wilson had played them
false, and from that day to this he has
been systematically boycotted. None of
the prisoners will speak to him. His
mind is now giving way and be may be-
come insane. He says he would rather
die than be shuned another month.

Nearing a Close.

Young Mrs. Blaine Tells Her
Tale of Woe.
The blame divorce Case

DEADwooD, s. D., Feb. 19.-At last
the Blaine divorce case has come to trial
and all the testimony is in. This morn
ing Judge Palmer, the plaintiffs attor-
ney, read the complaint and the defend
ants answer and began reading the depo-
%sitions. The dispositions of DR.. Fuller
and DR.. Wynkoop, after confirming that
of Gen. Mcmahon as to the amlty In
which the young couple apparently passed
the first few months of their married life,
related chiefly to the condition of the
plaintiffs health after the unhappiness
began. DIR. Fuller, who was called in
during the temporary absence of the
family physician. DIR. Wynkoop, in
Europe. testified that when he first treated
Mrs. Blaine professionally she was
e~nciente, and a few weeks later suffered
miscarriage. due entirely to mental anxi-
ETY..
This afternoon Mrs. Blaine was on the
stand. She recited the story of her
marriage. which was hastened because
her husband did not want her to go on
the stage. She spoke of the happy first
year and detailed the visit OF the young
people to Maine, where the husband was
kept away by his mother; told how she
was foiled in attempts to become recon
clled; gave details of her return to New
York and of her subsequent sickness and
suffering in that city. She came to South
Dakota for a home and wanted especially
to secure the custody of her child, which
she was able to support by her pen.
After the submission OF some law points
the case closed.

An American lady, a Californian art
list, had the proud distinction of being
the first to enter the pit for the opening
performance of Henry VIII" at the Ly.
ceum. Asked how she accomplished this
feat, she replied: 81 and a friend went
with camp stools and took our places
mex the door at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. We were provided with a volume
of an American magazine, a'sketch book
writing paper and a fountain pen, carica
lures Of Henry Irving and much pa
thence. A newspaper spread under the
feet and a japanese muf warmer, with
sandwiches and a bottle of wine, kept US
comfortable. Two ladies were the next
corners, and shortly a crowd began to
collect. Real amusing it was, but not
very elegant.
after about two hours Mr.. Bran Sto-
ker came and had a look at us, said the
barrier should be put up and cheered ouI
hearts by telling us that tea would be
served from the neighboring public
house. A newspaper man enlightened
our neighbors on the misery and immo
rafty in the Bowery at New York. FL

No. he was forced to reply, at which !
smiled triumphantly. At last at Z O'Clock
we were rewarded for our patience by
getting seats in the front row. The play
was superb, and the audience-well,
every one looked as if he had done some.

LONDON, Feb. t19.-It is freely stated
that the Irish local government bill. as

result OF many stormy evenings of the
cabinet, and that Balfour was more than
once overruled. Even the Standard ad-

a compromise and its reception, as in the
case OF all compromises, has not been as
satisfactory as its promoters could desire.
Whatever may be the fate of the bill.

appearing to have unduiy precipitated the
dissolution In order to neglect pledges
still unrealized and at the same time the
government would avoid alternating Its
friends who object to some projected
measures.
The thin ice over the government lake

was rejected by a majority of only %. The
prospect of the chance OF defeat does not

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.


WASHINGTON. Feb. I9.-The silver
question will not down. Its discussion
was resumed in the house again today
upon the presentation BY Bland of a letter
in response to one of the Harter circulars
to the Grand Army OF the Republic. The
ment at times, but occasionally a good
home thrust from one side or the other
brought forth hearty and continued
laughter. Harter characterized the free
silver bill as infamous and predicted if 1t
passed the Democratic party would march
to certain defeat in November. Warming
to the subject, he declared: IF this
free silver bill shall pass the time will
come when a man as a Democrat will not
be given a decent burial in a Democratic
cemetery Repeated attempts were
made hy points of order and demands for
regular business to take Harter from the
floor. but he persisted in presenting his
views to the house and il was compelled
to hear.
The first bill on the calendar (Which
was laid aside) gave rise to some discus
sion, during which Reed made some of

Harter said the house had been told
that class of legislation fell heavily upon
e5 citizens out of every hundred and took
away their property and handed it over
to the other five under the operation of
Mckinley law. But there were other
burdens; and some gentlemen seemed to
think 1t was perfectly right and very
Democratic indeed to take its earnings
and property, not of 95 persons out of q
hundred. but OF 999 citizens out of
every thousand and hand them over
to m%onopolies. He (Harter) spoke for
a class OF people who had no vote.
He spoke for the helpless women and
children of the country. for the poor
creatures who labored over the washtub
for the support of their helpless families.
That was the view of Democracy he took

cents on the dollar, Laughter and ap-

Harter then proceeded to make a pre-
%dlction, but as the words Il predict came

Democratic members. After macy eff

ing TO an overwhelming victory 1t would
march to certain defeat.
Lind of Minnesota asked If he under
stood the gentleman correctly in defining
the principles of the Democratic party to
be free trade and a single gold standard.
Before Harter could reply he was again
interrupted by q number of Democrats
protesting against the latitude of the
debate.
Lind-''Is the position OF the Demo-
cratic party for free trade and a single
gold Standard"
Harter-''The position of the Demo
cratic party is in favor of the double
standard and in favor of keeping every
dollar worth 100 cents. Applause on
the Republican side and demands for the
regular order from the Democrats.
Lind pressed the question as to the at
titude OF the Democratic party In regard
to free trade, and Fithian and Holman in
vain attempted to take Harter from the
floor when he demanded to make his reply.
The chair appealed to Harter to pro-
coed in order aud speak to the bill under
consideration.
Harter said he would do so. This
mar from Tennessee wanted an appropri-
atiun. Laughter.] That appropriation
was raised by taxing the people aud the
question asked by the gentleman was
highly pertinent under the circumstances
Laughter. The Democratic party was
10 favor of the freest possible trade for
the humblest soul and protection of the
American flag. Applause.
Harter then inquired of Lind whether
he had made a satisfactory response.
Lind replied the gentleman had done
30 so far as domestic trade was concerned,
but he desired to know the policy of the
Democratic party in regard to foreign
trade.
Fithian Immediately arose with another
point of order and called upon the chair
to enforce the rules. After a scene OF
confusion, Harter, continuing. said, the
position of the Democratic party on the
question of free trade was this, that every
American citizen was entitled to the most
absolute free trade with every ~inhabitant
of the globe. limited only by an amount
OF tariff necessary to conduct the govern
ment. He had now answered the Ques-
ton of the gentleman from Minnesota
and he would ask him a question.
Let him state whether be endorsed
the Mckinley bill, said Harter.
Lind-"I voted for it." Laughter. !
Hsrter-"I asked you a manly ques-
ton in a manly way. Do you endorse
it?"
Land-"I do as a whole" Laughter. ]
The silver debate then terminated and
the committee, without action on the
Duncan bill, rose and the house adjourned
till Tuesday.

La Grippe.

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cure of severe colds. This remedy
effec.ually counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia. pro-
vided the proper care be taken to avoid
exposure when recovering from the
attack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have used this remedy dur

the special committee of the International
Machinists' Union has decided what
action to take regarding the strike of
machinists in the Pennsylvania company's
shops. and this decision was telegraphed
to the members of the executive board at

believe the committee has recommended
a strike on the whole system. but this is

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.i
HARRISBURG, Sept 21.-A meeting was
held here to-day to advance the trial of the
suit to test the right of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company to lease the
New Jersey Central and Lehigh Valley
Railroads Attorney General Hensel ap-
peared on behalf of the Commonwealth, and
NJ E Olmsted and W. B. Lamberton rep
resented the various corporations concerned.
In response to calls made by the Attorney
General, Mr.. Olmsted admitted and placed
upon record lists of the directors, man.
ayers and officers of the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal Company, the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company and the Central
Railroad Company of New Jersey He
also admitted the floating debt of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany in February last to have been little
over 81, 200, 900, but denied that this in
debtedness was guaranteed by the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railroad Company.
1t was also made to appear on record that
the Central Railroad Company of New
Jersey owns over SIS, 600, 600 of the bonds of
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company;
also, that the Port Reading Railroad Com
pany owns the water front property at
Arthur Kiln, in New Jersey, containing
1923 acres and having water frontage of
$500 feet
In reply to the demands of the Attorney
General Mr.. Omsted submitted a tabular
statement, showing the price of coal at var
ious points at time of the making of the Le-
high Valley lease, and at certain specified
dates since, showing gradual advance. He
also showed the map hitherto prepared un-
der the direction of the Attorney General
to show the location of the various roads
embraced in the Philadelphia and Reading,
Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central
systems, for the purpose of show
ing their Darallelsm. This was again
bone of contention, counsel for the COM
panies obiecting to its correctness in a
number of specified particulars 1t was
agreed that certain alterations should be
made, and that statements should be put on
record concerning certain branch lines
which the map shows to be owned or con-
trolIed by some of the companies concerned
in the combine, but which the defendants
assert are controlled by independent Or
CARNATIONS
1t was admitted that the bonds of the |
Perkiomen Railroad Company are guaran-
teed by the Philadelphia and Reading |
Railroad Company, and that as the earn |
ings of the road have not been sufficient to |
pay the interest the Reading has made up |
the deficiency. The meeting was adjourned |
to Monday next in this city.
