PATCH WORK Politics
Trying to Fix Up the Constitu-
tion Of the Central Demo
cratic Committee.

The Central Democratic Committee was to
have fixed time and place for the holding
of elections of members to the committee
last night. No action was taken on the mat
ter, owing to the fact that James N. Davis
is anxious to amend the constitution before
the elections are held. Action will be taken
on the proposed amendments one week from
Friday night.
INCREASING THE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Davis amendments if adopted, will
augment the committee by twenty-five mem
bers. Under the present rules three mem
bers are elected from each Assembly District
with six members at large. Mr.. Davis is
anxious to have five members elected from
each Assembly District. Instead OF having
members elected under the super
vision of members of the com
mittee, Mr., Davis wants the rules SO
charged that the elections will be held under
the supervision of two Democrats not mem
bers Of the committee. whose duty it will be
to see that every candidate has in the cleo
ton booth representative in the form of
Judge, inspector or clerk. This amendment
will probably be adopted, and the committee
then, instead of having 80 MEMBERS will
have 81.
OTHER PATCHES READY.
Mr.. Davis has other amendments which he
will propose, but he does not care to make
them public at this time. The change re-
garding the manner of holding primary
elections, and the enlargement of the COM
mittee meets with approval.

AGE OF QUEEN BEss.

DIR. S. Weir Mitchell of Philadelphia, came
to Baltimore yesterday as the guest of
Johns Hopkins University, and to deliver a
lecture on the foundation endowed by the
late Mrs. Caroline Donovan. Ris lecure was
in some respects continuation of the recent
Shakespearean readings of DR.. Horace How
ard Furness. The title of it was 1.-The
Spirit of the Elizabethian Age in Relation
to Its Drama" The main purpose of the
lecture was to show that the cour-
tiers and literary people of the Eliza
bethan age wrote and spoke very
much in the manner Of the elevated, meta
phorical language, which is foun in Shake
speare's plays, and that many OF 5he charac,
tiers in those plays were more than suggested
by the men and women by whom the drama
tisa was surrounded. DR.. Mitchell quoted
Lowell's remark that Hamlet was the most
modern character in Shakespeare" and con-
cluded his lecture by commenting, on the
many death scenes in Shakespeare's plays, IN
none of which, he declared, was any deep re-
ligious feeling displayed. d.-B0ttinlore Sun.

AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL.
Henry Neyyman,s Body Borne to Oh
Trfnfty--The Services.

It was sight impressive in its sim
plicity to see the casket contain
ing the body of Henry Newman
borne through the streets this after
noon silently and without demonstration,
without even one display of hearse, or the
ceremonial appearance of carriages. The
plain black coffin was slowly carried by his
friends down the steps of the Newman
Mission, along Grand street, down
Washington and around York, up the steps
of cold Trinity" Before it went the larger
floral offerings, and the banner of the Mis-
sion; in its rear was long line of all sorts
and conditions of men and women, walking
together by twos and threes; men and
women who had been, like him, reclaimed
for new and better way of living, soldiers
of the Salvation Army, and many men and
women prominent in church and charities.
There was no loud weeping, no demonstra-
tive regret; it seemed as though the
train Of people realized that this
was the earthly conclusion of a
career well done. The passage of the pro-
cession attracted little attention, and inter
lppted in no way the progress Of passersby.
fncide of the church every seat was oc-
cupied. The bier was beautifully decorated
with flowers and large wheaton sheaf
Rev John Krantz assisted by Rev. Lester
Wells and Rev H J. Cronin oficiated.
After the simple ceremony the body was
taken to Cypress Hills for interment.

are increasing and Captain Birmingham
now has policemen in citizens clothes sta
toned in various parts of the city. at
night. Last night at Seaside Park John
Dalton, one of the old drivers, who deserted
the strikers, was dragged from his car and
clubbed with billy. Driver Dalton es-
capped with scalp wound The conductor

MISS BARRowoLIPF ALL RIGHT

A Decided Improvement in Her Con-
ditiOn-visited by Miss Dexter.
Miss Barrowcliff's physical and mental
condition must now be well nigh as it was
before her accident, as Miss Andrews and
Mrs. Osborne have ventured to read E. T.
Roe's s'From Jest to Earnest" to her, and
she has suffered no relapse from it.
This is considered an excellent test OF her
powers of mental endurance. Miss Andrews
said this morning that Miss BarrowcliH en-
joys the reading and comments freely on
what is read Dr. Varick calls every second
day. He was expected today. The
patient is not yet allowed to see
any of her friends other than Miss Dexter
and the Warden's family. Her eyes still re-
tain their bloodshot appearance. Her
wounds have healed and the scars are grow
ing less ugly looking every day. She eats
heartily now of anything she takes fancy
for, her diet not being restricted. She rises
at about ten O'Clock in the morning and sits
by the window or about her room until
three o'clock, when she lies down until sup
per time. She sits up again for about one
our in the evening, Miss Dexter generally be-
| ing with her at that time. She can
| walk all right and it is hoped
| that it will not be long before she will be
perfectly well again and at liberty to go
where she will. Not until she. is ready to
leave the Warden's house will she be told OF
her mothers existence.

There is a great deal of speculation among
members of the House as to the action the
Senate may take regarding the Iarlh
bill. 1t is claimed in the House
that the two Louisiana Senators will
vote against the measure If the
sugar duty be not restored. 1t is also be-
heved that Senators Brice of Ohio, McPher-
son of New Jersey and White OF California
will also insist upon material notifications,
but no one is prepared to state this trio Of
Senators will oppose the passage OF the bill
if these notifications are not secured.
1t is confidently asserted by the friends OF
Senators Murphy and HILL of New York,
that both gentlemen will support the
measure, notwithstanding the sympathy ex.
pressed by Mr. Murphy with the collar and
cuff manufacturers of Troy in their protest
against the reductions on those articles.
The practical unanimitY, SO far as the
Democrats are concerned, with which the
bill passed the House, encourages its
Democratic supporters to believe that
it will leave the Senate in substantial

Democratic leaders go so far as to assert
that the House will not stand any monkey
ing with the bill, y as one of the members ex
pressed it today. This gentleman said that

alton in part of the duty or

TRENTON, Feb Z, 1884, = There is the
very dickens to pay among the Republican
Assemblymen. The spectacle which Storrs
and the other amateur refolmers made OF
themselves yesterday while trying to explain
the partisan bills, and the manner in which
they were compelled to take water, angered
some of the leaders, and they determined
to read the riot act to the political accidents
that compose the majority of the Republ-
can members.
A caucus in the speakers room was held
Immediately after adjournment this after

the indignant ones to have their say. Mr..
McEwan had grievance against Storrs,
who many say would like to take the leader
ship from him.
MEwAN THREATENED TO RESIGN
Mr. McEwan, it is declared, was in re-
sentful mood. He fatty gave his colleagues
to understand that he would resign his place
as leader on the floor if matters were to re-

blunders that could be avoided by exercising
little caution, it was suggested that in ft-
ture it would De wise to get an idea as to

The Wearing Apparel Found In Rah-
way Claimed.
: New YORK. Feb Z, 1S94.-A morning
paper has the following explanation of the
finding of dress and some other articles of
woman's apparel in the river near Railway,
N j., yesterday morning:
Mrs. Becky Williams of Haydeck street,
Railway, had quarrel with her husband on
Monday as they were returning home to-
gether. In his anger William seized a bundle
containing brown silk dress and other arti-
cles of wearing apparel which his wife was
carrying and pitched it from the Irving
street bridge into the Railway River. Will
Jams then ran off, leaving his wife to go on
alone.
The abandaned garments were found in
Charles Tice. The discovery created much
excitement, as it was surmised that another
horror similar to the unsolved Railway
Mystery of March, 1886, had been un-
earthed. The Mayor. Chief of Police Au-
gust Crane and several policemen were kept
busy investigating all sorts of alleged clues
without avail. The garments were inspected
by throngs, but nothing was found out con
oerning them until last evening, when Mrs.
Williams reclaimed her property and told
the story

TO PREVENT TROLLEY ACCIDENTS

Consolidated Traction Company Put
ting a New Fender on Their Motors.
The Consolidated Traction Company will,
in few days, put in a fender on the cars for
the protection of life. The invention is about
the best yet devised and ought, if properly
manipulated, to make trolley car accident
an impossibility.
Mr.. E. j. Emerson, the electrical ngineer
of the Jersey City system, is the inventor of
the appliance, which somewhat resembles
the famous cowcatcher of the locomotive.
II is triangular in form and fits on the front
platform To the two sides of the triangular
are attached pieces of strong canvass loose
enough to sag slightly in the middle. The
ends are united at the top thus forming a
tent with one side of the canvas to each side
of the road.
At the apex of this triangle is a small
wheel to which is fastened a chain, and the
other end of the chain is under the control
of the motorman. If anyone be n the track
he can instantly drop down to within two
inches of the ground, the fender and the
obstructing body will either be thrown on
one side OF caught in the canvas. He cam
not be dragged in under the motor and
ground to powder The invention has been
tested, and Mr.. David Young has expressed
his satisfaction with its efficacy.
