Men In New York who Buy Pictures.

Don't count on the rich men of this city
to buy your pictures, said well known
art dealer to an ambitious artist who was
talking of bursting upon the New York
public. "They won't do it. And to tell
you the truth" he went on, in all New
York there are not more than $50 persons
who really love pictures-art for arts sake,
you kuow-who, in short, if they had opera
tickets for certain night, would throw
them aside for the sake of visiting some
good paintings"
Isn't that a small art loving public for
a large tOwn?'
Yes, it is, but it's the fact tell you the
men who will buy your pictures if they like
them are the salaried men, head clerks
jnnor partners men who when they like
thing like it very much and are willing to
deny themselves for the sake of owning it,
"As a rule, it is not the married man who
will take your picture. | could count on
less than all my fingers the men of well
known wealth who buy pictures in New
York. They will commend, but they won't
buy. They can afford to go higher, and that
means to go abroad. New York Sun.

A few days ago Mr. James NJ. Neal, "A
Georgia farmer, assembled the town hall
tower at Sandersville with friend to try a
new telescope. When Mr.. Neal drew a
focus on his plantation, which is five miles
north of Sandersyille, he remarked to his
friend, Colonel Fleming, that he was salts

to his pasture. He observed great com
motion among his cows, and upon adjust

tremendous rattlesnake was the cause of
the trouble, He quickly handed the tel
escope to Colonel Fleming, descended the
iron steps, mounted his horse, and in short
while reached his place, where he found two
of his cows lying dead from the effects of
the serpent's bite. He found the snake and
killed it, 1t had IA rattles and button.

a DEMON WITH A KNIFE.
New Orleans the Scene Of Murder
and a LynchinG

New Orleans the Scene of Murder
and a LynchinG.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 25.-One of
the most horrible crimes ever committed
here occurred this evening and resulted in
a woman's throat being cut from ear to ear
one man being murdered and another
lynched. The crime took place in the Fifth
district Of this city, which is far off from
the thickly settled neighborhood. Mrs.
Martin McMahon. an aged woman, keeps a
grocery at the corner of Atlantic and
Pacific avenues (Aigiers). She sometimes
hired negro ex-convict named Fisher.
Tonight she sent the negro on an errand
She expressed displeasure at the trifiinR
purchase he had made for her. The negro
without warning, reached over to where a
large meat knife was, and, taking it up.
rushed for the woman. He caught her by
her hair and cut her throat. The woman's
screams attracted the attention of q
white man, who ran to her assistance.
The negro fled. jumping the back fence
and hiding In an clubhouse. In the mean
time the noise had brought John Barrett.
a fireman, to the scene. He caught the
negro, but like flash the latter turned and
stabbed him three times, killing him in
stantly. By this time the entire neiRhbor-
hood had been aroused and men armed with
every kind Of weapon came upon the scene
and after several Shots had been fred at
the negro, the crowd quickly got a rope
and with cries OK Hang him before he
dies" dragged him into the yard and strung
him up. Mrs. McMahon is dangerously
wounded. Excitement ran high, but the
prompt action of the police put an end TO
further trouble.

saS up until late hour last night, aud re-
sumed their conference this morning.
Ex-Secretary Whitney was expected to
arrive this morning, but up to tonight had
not put in an appearance.
1t is believed here that Chairman Har-
rity is positively booked for the postmaster
Reneralship. He is expected to visit MIR.
Cleveland here.
E. G. Wall of Wisconsin will, it is said
be rendered the secretaryship OF the inte-
rior.
National Committeeman E. B. Smalley of
Vermont was at the Cleveland cottage this
morning.
LAMONT WINS BAYARD OVER.
The most prominent arrival at the cottage
to-day was Daniel Lamont. Mr.. Lamont
came bere from New York by the firss
train and was met by Mr.. Cleveland, who
had driven to the station in his private
carriage. The President-elect took Mr..
Lamont directly to the Cleveland cottage,
where they were joined by ex.Secretary
Bayard. who is still here. A long confer
ence followed in Mr.. Cleveland's private
study, and at O'Clock Mr.. Cleveland oon-
Quoted his ex>secretary to the station,
where he boarded a train for the city.
From knowing ones, it is learned that Mr..
Lamont's journey here was to use his infu-
ence in pursuadiug ex-Secretary Bayard to
accept the portfolio offered him by Mr. Cleve-
land. Mr.. Bayard has been rather unde-
cided about accepting. Knowing the iniu-
ence that his late secretary had in winning
Mr.. Bayard over Mr.. Cleveland sent for Mr..
Lamont. 1t is said that Mr. Lsmont's visit
was successful
REFUSED TO TALK POLITICS.
Col Lamont refused to talk politics to
the reporters and remained In Mr.. Cleve-
lands carriage at the station until the train
arrived.
Among the other callers we're William II.
Griffin and John M. Taylor, who were part
of the electoral committee that come on
from Tennessee to cast the vote for Mr..
Cleveland. It is certain that nothing
further has been done In regard to filing
vacancies in the cabinet. This will be left
until ex-Secrstary Whitney and Senator
Carlisle can be consulted. Mr.. Cleveland
will go to New York tomorrow morning
and will return here in the afternoon.

A BOOM FOR CLARKS0N.
HE Is BACKED FOR PRESIDENT By
A CLIQUE OF MoNoPOLIST5.

The Move Had Its Birth at Minneapolis
in the Fight to Beat Herrisou-He
May Be sent on a Tour Around the
World in an Effort to Give Him a
Boost.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-Those who were
on the inside at the Minneapolis convention
knew that if the auti-Harrison men had
succeeded in defeating the nomination Of
President Harrison, and in doing so had
been compelled to nominate Mr.. Blaine,
that letter would then have been produced
by member of the convention from Mr..
Blaine positively declining the nomination,
his only object in permitting the use
of his name having been accomplished
in the defeat of MIR. Harrison. Only very
few even of the informed know, however
that the name of James S. Clsrkson, chair
man Of the republican national committee
and president of the National League of Res
publican Clubs. was then to be sprung upon
the convention for the presidential nomina-
tion. it was known, however, to a num-
Der or delegates that the presidential bee
had begun TO bother Mr.. Clarkson and that
he was looking forward to securing the presi-
Dental nomination in 1896 If not in 1892
lt Is now st tied that he is the choice Of a
number Of the anti-Harrison men in the re.
publican national committee and also of
Gen. Russell A. Alger and other republican
millionaires with whom be- has been brought
by politics into intimate association. Soma
tor Quay, ex-senator Platt, j. Sloat Fas-
sett in the east, Michael ii. DeYoung and
Morris M. Estee in the extreme west, and
ex-senator Farwell and others in the Mis-.
sissippi valley, are mentioned as approving
Mr.. Clarkson's aspirations.
TRIP AROUND THE WORLD.
1t is said TO be part of the plan for
his nomination that he should take
for which his millionaire friends are
to furnish the money. Several OF these
millionaires are said TO represent trusts
aud other great corporations which would
like to name the republican nominee
in 1896. The men supporting Mr.. Clarkson
are determined that Mr.. Harrison shall not
be renominated in 1896 and have ap-
parently taken up MIR. Clarkson as
the most available man with whom to
prevent IL. Some Of them may be looking
beyond it alto the nomination of a third
man. 1t is evident, however, that there is
such thing as a Clarkson organization
however informal IL may be, and that It
was strong enough TO postpone the meeting
of the national committee, whicn President
Harrison wanted called for the present
month, to organize for 1896, until May,
when Mr.. Harrison will no longer be Presi-
dent and also to thwaTt the scheme for or
ganizinR in President Harrison's honor the
most magnificent banquet ever planned in
this country.

QUICK TIME TO FLORIDA.
Charleston Hears the Talk About th
Coast Lines New Scheme.

CoeSC Lines new SchemS.
CHARLESTON, 8. c., Jan. 25.-There
seems to be little doubt now that the At
lantic Coast Line will by next year go to
Savannah via the South Bound. The sur
vey of the route from Remini on the North
eastern railroad to Denmark, on the South
Carolina railway, already mentioned In the
MORNING NEWS, is nearly completed. Tho
distance is about thirty-tive miles, and the
road can be built IN short order. The
Coast Line is simply waiting on the COM
pletion Of the Florida Central and Peninsu-
lar road to Savannah, which the contract
calls for by Oct. l next. The Coast Line
people claim that as matters now stand,
their system, which causes the bulk Of the
winter travel from the north to Florida, is
in the position Of having to turn over all of
its traffic to the Plant system at this point,
irrespective of consequences. The
sharp competition out of New York
renders few hours In time between New
York and Jacksonville Of the first impor-
tauce, and the Atlantic Coast Line undoubt-
edly has now the shortest route. The road
does not relish having its passengers fail TO
secure the benefits OF the quickest trip,
which they would get If the best possible
time was made over the whole route. Once
a connection with the South Bound road
has been effected the competition from
Charleston south can begin, and the Coast
Line would hold the key to the situation,
commanding the shortest route north from
Charleston. 1t is claimed now that the
sixty miles saved by the Wilson Short Cut,
over which the Florida special now runs,
is lost In time between this city and Jack
sonville. Everything points to a rupture
between the Plant and Coast Line systems
and the establishment OF a new route be-
tween New York and Florida.

BERLIN, Jan. 25.-Ths whole city is

wedding OF Princess Margaret, the young
est sister of the emperor, and Prince Fred
erick Charles Of Hesse. IL rained most of

civil marriage, the streets were dry and
crowded with sight-seers. The civil cere-

Empress Frederick's palace. The religious
ceremony was performed in the chapel OF
the palace by Court Chaplain Daaunder.
As the couple exchange rings the artillery

The ceremony was followed by a wedding
banquet. after which came the Facksltanz,
Chancellor Won Caprivi was excused by tie
Emperor William from participating in
this dance.
HER MOTHERS FAvoRITE.
The marriage OF Princess Margaret and
Prince Frederick in a measure takes away
from the Empress Frederick her last
daughter, though iC is said that the princess
has invariably declared that she would live
and die an old maid before she would marry
man who would take her away from her
mother. 1t is believed that their parting
will be only nominal, and that Empress

castle of Pappenheim. which has been given
to the Prince Frederick Carl by his eldest
brother, the Landgrave of Hesse.
NOT ROLLING IN WEALTH
The bridegroom, who is Lieutenant in
Queen Victoria's Prussian Dragon Guards,
has a salary of only 800 marks $3.50 year
ly, but the Landgrave OF hesse who Is enor-
mously wealthy, will see that he is well pro-
vided for financially. Princess Margaret
receives a handsome dowerY from her
mother and she receives very substantial
wedding gift from the Emperor William.
The principal foreign representative,
from political point of view, WAS the
czarowitZ, whose presence in Berlin as
representative of the czar is taken as an in
dication Of the re.establishment of an en-
tente cordiale between the courts Of Berlin
and st. Petersburg.
Among those who were expected to at
tend the wedding was the King OF Dem
mark. but he took unbrsge at the reported
statements of Chancellor Won Caprivi be-

bill with references 60 the attitude of Den
mark toward Germany, and making the
cold weather al excuse, declined to make
the trip to Berlin.

AUsrRIA's MINE HORROR.

One Hundred and Thirty Lives Lost
by the Explosion.
VIENNA. Jan. 25.-All hope Of rescuing
alive the men entombed by the explosion of
fire damp in the Fortschritt mine at Dux,
Bohemia, has been abandoned. Invsstiga-
tion of the list Of employees reveals the fact
that 1870 men lost their lives in the disaster.
as Ii Is generally conceded that those who
were not killed by the explosion must have
been sutfocated by after damp. The miue
Is being cleared OF the wrecka2e as rapidly
ns possible, but the work is necessarily slow.
Every effort is being made TO recover the
bodies Of the dead. Many heart-rending
scenes were witnessed about the mouth Of
the shaft when 1t was announced by the
niue officials that beyond a shadow of a
doubt every man 10 the mine was dead. No
explanation is made as to how the explosion
occurred.

FRANCES LOTTERY BONDS.

fending the Directors.
PARIS, Jan. 25.-When NJ. Barbour re.
sumed his argument to-day in behalf of the
accused Panama directors the court room
was already as throngsd as the rules for ads
mission would permit. Several distinguished
members Of the Paris bar were present,
while officials and other interested persons
we're prominently represented. NJ. Bar
boux applied his eloquence TO proving that
the Panama directors could not be accused
OF swtndling in the issue of the lottery
bonds, as they had simply adopted the
the CRamher Of Deputies. This
assertion caused q profound sensation
among the audience. Prior TO the action
on the part of the directors, the Chamber OF
Deputies, Nj. Barboux said, had authorized
the lottery bonds 1t was argued at the time
in the chamber that the company was already
ruined, but the chamber voted, notwith-
standing this declaration, to authorize the
issue and thus gave confidence TO the public
to subscribe for bonds which the legisla-
ture after full discussion of the subject. had
approved. The directors, therefore, could
not be accused of swindlinR Ill having issued
these bonds with the approval and consent
of the chamber.

the Panama canal scheme In the hope Of
averting menacing dangers. Therefore the
lectures delivered in the provinces In aid OF
the scheme were legitimate. IL Ferdinand

optimist, But" exclaimed M Barbour,
"the world belongs to optimists.n It

Ferdinand and Charles dc Lesseps might
have been deceived by events, but such an
error could not be regarded as oulpable. M.
Barboux took up the question of agree
ments between the Panama canal board of
directors and the contractors for the work
on the canal He pointed out the fact that
the agreements and indemnities had the
unanimous approval OF the board and he
maintained that the contracts were solely

END OF THE INQUIRY.
The parliamentary commission Of In

its sttings to-day, after having heard the
rest of the report of the subcommittee con-
corning the work of the underwriting syn

NO HOPE FOR MRS. MAVERICK.
Her Mother Convinced That the Prls
oner VIII Not Be Released.

Her Mother Convinced That the Pris-
oner Will Not Be Released.
LONDON. Jan. 25.-The latest action of
the authorities indicate that there is very
little prospect for the release OF Mrs. May
brick. The Baroness de Roques. the
mother OF Mrs Maybrick, succeeded in OBJ
tanning the consent OF weil-known physi-
clan, Sir Thomas Spencer Wells, president
OF the Royal College OF Surgeons and
surgeon TO her ma ajesty's household, to visit
her daughter and examine her condition. An
application was made to Home Secretary
Asquith TO permit the visit. The horne
secretary refused to grant the application
on the ground that the medical treatment
given by the prison doctors was as suf-
ficient for Mrs. Maybrick as 1t was for the
other prisoners.
This decision of the home secretary has
apparently convinced the baroness that for
the present at least nothing further can be
done, and she has gone back TO France.
