CLOSING HE WORLDS FAIR AT
NIGHT.


The Electrical Engineer, in sound
and vigorous article, protests hotly
against the proposition to close the
Worlds Fair ct p. m. each day, put
ting into force q rule that has been
adopted Professionally, among others, by
the National Committee, having 10 dc
with the police regulations OF the
grounds, etc.
There is little likelihood that the
Fair will close at the hour when 1t can
be made most attractive. II it is In
sisted on, the Engineer advises dyn-
amo and lamp manufacturers to alb
stain from exhibiting. In Chicago, the
argument is made that IL will prevent
the local workingmeu from seeing the
Fair, as their spare hours are mostly In
the evening. This may well be, but
such view is only local. Early clos
ing of the Fair would be most serious
matter for the workingmen from all
parts Of the Union, whose leisure is
scant, whose spare dollars are very few,
and who will not be at liberty TO spin
out their visit to Chicago over several
days. If the Fair closes at p. m, IL
means TO them the loss of at least three
solid hours daily, with the sacrifice Of
much of their intellectual pleasure and
technical profit.
But there are other grave considera-
lions. 1t is estimated that the electri-
cal exhibits will run into millions Of dol
lars in value, and The largest part Of
this money will be spent on apparatus
for light and power. Is this apparatus 10
be idle just at the moment when it can
best illustrate It's benefits as an addi
ton TO modern means of convenience,
comfort, economy and beauty?
Moreover, the Engineer points out,
the Fair itself will be most brilliant as
night scene. Even il all the build
ings were not kept open, there would
be some to which access could be given,
and which everybody would reserve as
"cholce mouthfulS" for the remaining
hours Of a memorable day. Then the
grounds and lagoons would be at their
best under the arc light, with bands
playing, and the wonderful electric
fountains illustrating anew the birth Of
light itself.
Our contemporary, we believe, can
rest easy. The exhibitors, the several
States and the Fair authorities them
selves have gone to too great expense
for electric lighting to permit the loss
OF it all by the closing of the grounds at
the only time when these costly appli-
ance and decorations could be used Or
seen.

THE CHOLERA AGAIN.

The Disease Raging on the Austrian From
tier-Many " Guild Come TO America,
VIENNA, December 23.-The cholera
is increasing in the province Of Lublin,
in Russian Poland, and adjoining the
Austrian border. The CONSERVATION
caused by the ravages of the cholera
last autumn in that region had become
allayed, but is again being aroused, and
many OF the people are fleeing from the
elV9iz -, yotvJJIa-- .N'ptr5 49, rrt-. f.'~-i
tier, II seen by the sentineIs, but there
is no doubt that many Of them escape
into Galicia and Austria proper. The
authorities on both sides Of the border
are doing all they can TO prevent
panic with the scenes OF inhumanity
which accompanied the panic In the
autumn. The reports that emigration
to America is virtually stopped has
caused much disappointment, as owing
to dread of cholera and other reasons
multitudes were preparing to emlgrate
during the coming spring.

The Mexican Government Greatly Per
turbed-A Battle Between Revolution
/ lists and Government Troops.
NEUvA, LAREDO, MEXICO, December
IS. Reports, although conflicting, come
from every part OF the northern side OF
the republic, indicating thu growth of
the revolutionary movement. Dis
patches are rushing 10 and from the
Mexican officials to the United States
officers on the frontier, and in the near
future there will be a genuine revolu-
tion in Mexico.
1t is impossible to gain any informa-
ton from those high In authority, as
every one is under the strictest orders
not TO make public The kilograms, but
this much is positively known: that
there was battle on the 17th on Mex
lean soil near Guerrero, about thirty
miles from the river, between the Mex-
lean troops and revolutionists, with a
victory for the latter.
1t is reported here that the govern
ment has seized the railroads for official
purposes.
There has been no information re-
ceived from the United States troops
down the river, but it is reported they
are patroling the frontier with little
expectations OF capturing any fugitive
reYolutionistS from Mexico.

Caught wIth the PIuuder.


Itbehooves the Wheeling IlltelLigencer
to clear its skirts of the ugly predica'
ment in which it is placed by the dis
covery that the political letters it pub
lshed were stolen. 1t was generally
suspected, and sometimes directly
charged, in the last campaign, that some
DoStollices were in close touch with Re
publican committees, and that extraor-
binary facilities were extended certain
people TO learn what the Democrats
were doing. 1t being developed now
that private letters from one Democrat
to another were stolen, and they being
found in the possession OF a party
to whom they were not addressed, nor
who wrote them, the suspicion grows
that there is room here for full and
thorough investigation, If q person be
found in possession Of stolen horse,
for instance, he must account for his
possession OF the animal, or suffer the
consequence Of appropriating some one
else's property. The Iutelligencer being
caught with the plumber in It's posses
sion should explain its relation TO the
matter, or the public will encourage the
belief that 1t might, perhaps, have been
an accessory before the fact to the steal
ing Of the letters by Houser.

DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
BrIgands Hold Up Train and Take All
the yaluabIes, Near Warsaw.

the yaluabIes, Near Warsaw.
WARSAW, December ga most oar
inp train robbery occurred yesterday
between this city and Kowal, town
elghty miles northwest OF Warsaw. A
body of brigands succeeded by the use
of signals in stopping well filled pas
senger train at point about midway
between Warsaw and Kowal. Once the
train was at a standstill Il was boarded
by numb Der Of the gans, all OF whom
were heavily armed. Other members OF
the band guarded the doors OF the
coaches to prevent the escape OF
any of the passengers. Begin
ming at the forward end OF
the train the brigands went
through each coach with revolyers and
ordered the passengers, men and women,
10 surrender their valuables. They
even forced the married women TO give
no their wedding rings. Not the slight
est attempt at resistance was made and
IL is estimated that the plumber secured
by the robbers amounted In value 10
Ga. 600 roubles. Among the booty was
a large sum of money. As the brigand:
were leaving the train they relieved the
train hands Of their watches, and then
babe adieu, springIng 70 the ground aud
disappearing in the darkness. The
train proceeded and when the next sta
ton was reachsd the authorities wer'
notified OF the robbery.

MICHAEL DAvITr UNsEATED.
The Court Deprives Him of His Seat
Parliament.

The Court Deprives Him of His Seat In
Parliament.
DUBLIN, December 23.-Mr. Justice
O'Brien delivered the decision OF the
courts to-day on the election petition
against the return Of Michael Davitt as
member Of Parliament for North Meath.
The decision deDrives Mr.. Davitt OF the
seat on the same grounds that resulted
i'm the unseating of Mr.. Fulam, NJ. p,
for South Meath. Mr.. Davitts coun-
sci says that the evidence so far as
Bishop Nulty's Pastorals denouncing
the Parnelites was concerned applied
to North Meath, equally with South
Meath. The decision, therefore, was
foregone conclusion, and Mr.. Davitt
had endeavored to forestall it by offer
ing to give up his seat In order to pre-
sent himself as a candidate. This
could not be permitted, the court hold
ing that it could only upon evidence ac-
tually before il, and not upon admission
in advance OF testimony.
Mr.. Davitt was elected in the general
election by 2,549 votes TO 2,l46 for his
Parnellte opponent, p. Mahony, who
had been elected in 1856 without opposi-
ton. The scenes which attended the
contest in North Meath were even more
exciting than in South Meath, owing to
the bitterness aroused by Mr.. Davitts
well-known antagonism TO the late Mr..
Parnell. Besides all the influence the
priests could bring to bear In behalf oil
Davitt and against the Parnellite can
didate, there were many severe physica
encounters between the electors on both
sides, and women, as well as men, tool
an active share in the struggle.
The result OF the case is a painful
blow TO Mr.. Dayitt, who is acutel!
sensible to any reflection on his person
al honor aud who had with reluctance
consented TO be candidate for Parlia
ment

Emma Goldman will Try TO get His Case
Before the supreme Court
PITTsBURG, PA, December 23.-Em-
ma Goldman, the autonomist Of New
York, is said TO be at the head of a
movement TO secure Communication Of
sentence for Berkmsn, the Anarchist,
who shot II. c. Frick. II Is the inten-
ton to make an appeal TO the Supreme
Court on the grounds that Berkman
was illegally convicted on the seven iu-
dictments when ne should have been
tried only on two, the felonious assault
with. intent 10 kill MIR. Frick and Incl
dental assault on Mr.. Leishman. At
torney Joseph Friedman, who de.
Tended Berkman said: This will
be novel plea, the first ever
presented, but it may stand. There !:
no doubt" said he, that all the charge:
centralized In the actual commission o.
the shooting, and that the other charges
felonious entry and carrying concealed
weapons, are merely supplementary u
the higher crime and should have beer
| dropped when the man was tried fol
the shooting. II this reasoning hold
good the sentence Of twenty-five year
may be lessened by eight, aud in thi
event the lesssning would work TO still
further concessions toward the pris
oner."
Miss Goldman was in the city recent
ly and visited Berkman in prisOl
twice. Her visits seemed TO excite tn

Interest With the President-Eiect
Special 1sLforal 10 the Register
WASHINGTON, D. c., December "a
1t is announced tonight that Speaker
Crisp will go to New York during the
recess OF Congress, taking his family
with him, for short holiday. Ofcourse
the Speaker will Gull on President-eect
Cleveland and will discuss with him the
question OF an extra session, the organ
ization o. the next House aud other
matters Of party interest. From what
is known OF Mr.. Crisp's views on the
subject, it can be said he will urge
the. expediency OF calling the extra
session early in the spring. The
speaker believes this can be done with,
out aRy risk Of embarrassing the new
administration, as the new Congress
can be depended on 10 adjourn as soon
as the extra session has done the work
for which it was called; that is, eecting
a speaker and organizing the commit
tees. Having the organization perfect
ed the Ways and Means Committee can
go ahead during the summer in con-
junction with Mr.. Cleveland's Secretary
OF the Treasury, with its big task Of
formulating new tariff bill TO be pre-
Sented TO Congress in the fall. Wheth-
er Mr.. Crisp goes to New York at Mr..
Cleveand's invitation or not, the fact
that he is going there to confer with
the President-eect demonstrates that
the gentlemen are on good terms and
sets at rest the absurd Republican cards
OF friction between them and their
friends.
