A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
 The entertainment by the young ladies' reading club on Tuesday evening, was a splendid success from every point of view. It consisted of music, both vocal and instrumental, rectations and tab- leaux. The welcome was by Miss Lefty Sagendorf, followed by short exhibit ion of their methods of conducting a regular meeting of the club. Clarence Jones and Miss Minnie Somers gave a duet with cornet and piano. Tableaux were interspersed throughout the even ing and were noted for their artistic de- sign and execution. The class sang sev- eral pieces in concert. Solos by Miss Abbot and Harry Mead were thoroughly appreciated and applauded. A trio on the piano by Misses Somers, Skidmore and Sagendorf was fine performance. The closing sceneewas a tableauX, aThe Fire Worshippers, in an expectant at titude waiting for the rising sun with morning incense. A recitation by Lefty Sagendorf, Naming the Baby,'' was giv- en with much spirit and so clearly enun- ciated that every word was distinctly heard in 1.-the farthest corners of the room. The encores were frequent and we'll deserved. Much credit is due MT and Mrs Curtis for their assistance and advice in making possible so creditable performance to all engaged in it. The hall was filled, many not getting seats. The second part of the program consist ed in furnishing all present with all the ice cream and cake they desired as a part of the ir free entertainment.

BURNED THEIR DEAD.
Hard Fighting Marks the War in
Honduras.
Both Sides Anxious for Peace, but
Neither VIII Surrender One
Jot of Its Claims.
Special to The MORNING CALL

PANAMA, March 2S.-Tremendous fight
ing marks the progress of the war in Hon
duras. News has just been received Of a
battle near Tatumbla, which resulted in
the defeat of the Government troops with a
loss of more than 100 men killed on the field.
Nearly fifty revolutionary soldiers were
slaughtered, and after the battle the bodies
of all the dead men found on the field were
collected in heap and burned.
This battle was fought several days ago.
General Alfonso Villels had been sent to
the front with a large body of Government
troops to intercept the march of the revolu-
tionists. who were moving against the cap
ital at TeGucigalpa. Villela's army reached
the vicinity of Tatumbla at o'clock In the
afternoon. The town had been occupied
by troops under General Sierra. who com-
mands the south wing of the Revolutionary
army. The east wing of the revolutionary
forces. commanded by Reyna. was four
miles in the rear of General Sierra's troops.
Villela's approach was in the nature of a
surprise to the revolutionary commander at
Tatumbis.
Further dispatches from Honduras say
that the position of acting President
Aguero is pitiable one. He is said to be
practically prisoner in his capital, and is
acting under the orders of General Vas
quez, who is DR.. Bonilla's rival for the con,
troll of the republic.
Aguero's letters and kilograms have a
wonderful tone. He is anxious for the res
toratlon Of peace, but he has not the power
to prevent further hostilities. BoDilla
is reported to be also ready to leave off
fighting, but declines to do until he is
assured that Aguero aud not Vasquez will
be President.
President Ezeta of Salvador has assured
Bonilla that he will take no part in the rev.
olution. leaving Honduras to fight it out

LATIMER CAPTURED.
His Gun Did Not Seem to Do Him
Much Good.


JACKSON, Mich, March 23.-Inquiry de-
velops the fact that Murderer Latimer had
help both from within and without the
prison in the murder of his guards, prepara-
tory to making his escape. The inquest
held on Gatekeeper George White showed
that he died from the effects of diluted
prussic acid. and this afternoon it was dis
covered where Latimer purchased the poison.
The vial was obtained last Saturday from
Webb's drugstore. having been ordered from
New \ ork some time before. The firm at
first refused to fill the order, but the clerk
of the prison then came himself and said it
was all right, and that LatiWer wanted the
prussic acid TO develop some Photographic
plates.

murdered his keeper, was captured at

about twenty miles from here. He went
into a store to purchase a pair of shoes.
When the people in the store recognized
Latimer ne became frightened and fed
down the railroad followed by the crowd.
After long chase the murderer was cap
tured, and the whole party started toward
Jackson.
Latimer was taken to prison as soon as
he arrived here. There is much excite
ment in the city, and it is good thing that
he was brought in at such a late hour. as
lynching would have been likely in the
daytime.
Guard Gill was arraigned to-day on a
charge of felOniously allowing Latmer to
escape and was held in $1,000 bail.

MAGUIRE's PET THEORY.

Inc Congressman to Be Wined by
Single Takers.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Representative
Mcguire of San Francisco is becoming quite
well known as single-tax advocate He is
to be given banquet at Hyattsyille, Nd.
on Thursday night by the single takers of
that town.
Mr.. Mcguire said to-day: "There seems
to be but one thing to do in any State to pre-
vent the speculative monopoly Of land, and
that is to appropriate by taxation to public
use the unearned increment which the COM
muuity gives to land as fast as it arises.
This would take away the incentive, the
only incentive, which now induces the spec
ulatOr 10 monopOlize land, and would keep
unused land at all times open to legitimate
enterprises requiring its use. A single tax
on the value of land, irrespective of i'm
provements. for all purposes OF revenue,
would not only keep the unused land open
to new enterprises. but by its stimulating
exemption of capital from taxation would
powerfully tend TO draw such enterprises
TO the State. When the unearned increment
OF land shall be appropriated to the public
use, the whole question of land monopoly
and the present conflict between labor and
capital will be settled. but not. as 1t seems
to me, until then"

KNEW NOTHING OF 1T.
Chief Arthur Was Ignorant of the
Courts Order.

TOLEDO, March 2s.-At the opening of
court This morning Judge Kicks stated that,
inasmueh as the case OF the Lake Shore en-
gineers and those of the Ann Arbor road
were Of similar nature and both very ini-
portanf. Judge TAFT would decide both not
later than Monday next.
Grand Chief Arthur then took ths wilt
ness stand. In answer to questions he said
he had no knowledge about the order Of
the court bearing on the case, aud did not
readSit in the daily newspapers. He said
he might have heard of 1t, but it was
never brought to his notice. He said all
the notices sent out to the chairmen Of the
various committees notifying them OF the
strike on the Ann Arbor road were
sent out by him. He declared that he
could not order strike without the consent
of the general committee. The men were
not obliged 10 obey his orders. He merely
gave them advice. They could do as they
pleased about taking it. This closed the
evidence and the argument on behalf Of the
Ann ArbOr Company began.
At the conclusion of the argument Judge
Kicks announced he would render a deci-
sion April g.

ment; but on the whole their action ha
been just and certainly has asserted
wholesome influence on the country at
large.
One of the most unfit appointments which
the Government has yet made was that Of
w. g. Ashley to be Marshal Of the islands.
At the private meeting of the Councils, held
March IA, it was voted to remove Marshal
Ashley. Mr.. II. G. Hitchcock, the present
Sheriff of the island of Hawaii. has been
appointed to succeed Marshal Ashley, and
the official announcement of the change will
be made public as soon as the new Marshal
arrives from Hawaii. which will be, prob
ably, in about a week from date.
At the meeting of the Council held yes
terday Hon. P. &. Jones, Minister of
Finance, resigned his Office owing to i'll
health and tie pressing request Of his
physician. 1t was for the same reason Mr..
Jones was obliged to cease active duties
several months ago as partner in the firm
of C, Brewer & Co. of Honolulu. Mr..
Jones has been one CT the best men con-
nected with the new government and was
one of the first good Cabinet officers the
country had had for several years imme-
dately preceding tie late revolution. In
fact, 1t was the consequences Immediately
following the ousiing of the Jones' Wilcox
Cabinet which prtci plated that event.
Immediately after the resignation Of Mr..
Jones the Executive and Advisory Coun-
ellis elected Mr.. T. C. Porter to the vacancy.
Mr.. Porter is one of the best known Amer

many years with the clearinghouse Of

SHORT ON SEALS.
A Serious Outlook for the Newfound-
land Fishermen.

ST. JoHNs, n. F.. March 2S.-The pros
poets OF the Newfoundland seal fishery are
very gloomy. The schooner Island Gem,
which arrived this evening with 200 seals,
reports the steam fleet almost without seals.
There are nineteen steamers fishing In the
North Atlantic. She spoke several last
Saturday, 100 miles off Funk Islands. They
reported a total catch Of about 1900 All
the other ships heard from report very
poor catch. This is the worst outlook ever
known IN the sealing industry. In former
years some Of the sealers were unfortunate
and others successful, but this year it ap
pears that all will be disappointed. The
season is now so far advanced that 1t is im-
possible to expect even an average hshery.
The seals have abandoned the Ice and can
not be easily killed in the water. Last year
the take was over $4,000, and this year it
will probably be third of that, worse even
than in 1882, when the smallest number In
seventeen Yeas were taken. This misfor-
tune has terribly depressing effect upon
St. Johns. as it was hoped that good fish
cry would help rebuild the town. 1t Is now
feared that the general business OF The
country will be greatly cramped.
