Mr.. Foster was one of the boys bondsmen
During the meeting last night Mr.. Foster
arose and said:-'I have been receiv-
ing numerous anonymous letters in
regard to Jesse Warren. They
have contained all sorts of attacks upon his
character. l have almost made up my mind
to give him up tomorrow and withdraw my
bond. I reconsidered my determination,
and came to the conclusion that before aban-
doning the boy I would first investigate
the charges made against him. | did
this today. I went to Mr.. W. H. Beach
and also saw Mrs Beach. Mr. Beach said
that he does not know Jesse to be a bad boy
at all, while Mrs. Beach said that
he was in her Sunday school class,
and had always behaved well and appeared
to be- good boy. I have also sifted number
Of the individual attacks against his char

is my duty as Christrian to stand by this

end"

gregation although Mr.. Foster did not know

LAND BARoNs OF LOUISIANA.
Table of Their Unimproved Timber
and swamp Tracts.

and swamp Tracts.
The New Orleans Picdyune prints a table
of the land barons of Louisiana and their
holdings of unimproved timber and swamp
tracts, from which it appears that alien syn
dicates, companies and individuals own more
than 2,2O0,0Oo acres One syndicate claims
100000 acres, several possess 100000 and
more, and holdings of from 10000 to $4,000
acres are not uncommon. Most of this land
is owned in the Western States but to cap
italists of New York and Philadelphia sew
eral hundred thousand acres belong. The
Picayltate explains that originally the United
States owned all the lands in Louisiana other
than those which at the time of the cession
by France were held by private persons or
corporations. subsequently, what were
known as swamp lands, that is to say, lands
that We're subject to the tidal overflow from
the sea or were annually flooded by the Mis-
sissippi, became the property of the State,
with the provision that it should sell them
for the purpose of raising fund to build
levees A considerable territory, consisting
of prairie and forest land, was retained by
the United States, to be sold as homesteads.
Such a disposition was made of this land,
but it is now largely in the possession of
syndicates. The Picdyttne's table includes
the swamp, homestead and sea march lands
The last named, lions share of which has
been acquired by the Watkins syndicate,
must be drained and diked like the Holland
coast. and some progress in this work has al
ready been made.

MRS. KELLY's WOES.
Judge NOonan Graphically Presents
Them to the Chancellor.

Them to the Chancellor.
Judge Thomas Noonan, of the Bayonne
City Court, unfolded a narrowing tale Of
cruelty to the Chancellor this morning,
upon his application for counsel fee and
alimony on behalf of Lizzie Kelly, who has
begun suit for divorce against her husband,
John Kelly. Kelly is prosperous junk
dealer in Hoboken After setting forth the
fact of her marriage and the birth of her
three daughters, Mrs Kellys petition goes
on to state that her husband is hard
drinker, and when under the influence of
liquor he beat her and his daughters and
abused them in the most brutal manner. On
two occasions, when snow was on the
ground, he came home late at night and
drove her and one of her daughters out in
the cold and snow barefooted and with no
clothing on except their nightdresses.
From the effects of the exposure the
daughter contracted disease OF the eyes
which has resulted in the loss of almost the
entire sight of one eye.
On another occasion he attacked Mrs
Kelly with a pitchfork, according TO the pc
tition, and knocking her down with the han
die 5 wounded her with the fork. One night
he attacked one of the daughters and beat
her SO seriously that she cried out with the
pain. The mother ran to her daughters
assistance when Kelly attacked her, struck
her over the head and cut her mouth SO Sc
verely that she carried a sore on the spot for
some time.
The Chancellor allowed Mrs. Kelly $40
counsel fee and So week alimony.

REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.

WORCESTER, Mass, Feb. IL, 1S94.--Busl-
ness is picking up in the cotton and woollen
mills of Worcester county Last September
462 sets of woollen machinery were idle in
the county These, when running, gave em-
ployment to TO- 600 operatives, whose monthly
wages aggregated $4o0, 600 Now every cot
ton mill in the county is running and only
154 sets of woollen machinery are idle Only
about 8, 900 hands are now out of work. This
shows that about 20 per cent. of the opera
tives who were idle in September now have
employment.
Some of the mills are running full time
with full complement of hands, others full
time on part machinery, and still others part
time with all machinery.
The manufacturers say that there is some
demand for goods, but the buyers insist on
low prices. They say goods must be pro-
duced for less money, and that means an
other cut-down in wages. The chief centres
of depression in Worcester county now are
Fitchburg and Uxbridge. In the former
city, two worsted mills, which ordinarily enl-
ploy 600 hands, are idle, and in Uxbridge
thirty-five sets of woollen machinery are un-
employed. 1t is said, though, that Scott
& Wheelock's five set mill in Uxbridge will
start up tomorrow. Every woollen mill in
the city of Worcester, except that of the
Harrison Woollen Company, which is in in
solvency, is running.
All the. mills in Cherry Valley, between
Worcester and Leicester, are running full
time, except Mann Bros factory, which is
putting in forty hours week.
The big slater mills at Webster, which
employ about 1000 hands, which were
stopped for time last fall, are now run
ming.
The three mills at Athol are all running.
The capacity of the mills is eight sets, and Of
these five are running.
Sagendorph's mill at East Brookfeld and
the Spencer Woollen Mills are idle, having
gone into insolvency last fall In Charlton,
the Pike and Chapman factories are still
stopped. The other concerns in the town are
running on three-quarters tune.
PIQUA, Ohio, Feb. 10, 1S94.-The rolling
mill in this city, one of the largest in the
State, which has not run steadily for the
past six months, resumed work this morn
ing, giving 800 men steady employment.

THAT oIL-OLoTH SIGN.

1t Again Adorns the Front of the
Bergen baptist Church.
There is to be no caste in the Bergen Bap-
tist Church. This is proved by the fact that
the oil-cloth sign that kicked up such a
rumpus among the Board of Trustees and
which was removed by them, was
returned to its old place on
moval, as they thought it naarred the looks
of the beautiful brown stone front of their
church Brother Applegate on behalf of
these people had it removed The more
democratic of the congregation wanted
it to remain, as it attracted crowds
to the special services, and out OF the
crowds many people were saved After a
good deal of discussion, the democratic part
of tile congregation have triumphed, and
the sign is in its old place, an eyesore to the
aristocracy 'sThere will be no caste in
Heaven and none ir the Bergen Baptist
Church" says one at the church who ought
to know

GLADSTONE AND HIS CABINET.
The House of Commons Convened
Today-Business Transacted.
By Gable to the United Press.


By Cable to the United Press.
LONDON, Feb 12, 1S94-A meeting of the
Cabinet was held at the official residence of
Mr.. Gladstone in Downing street today,
prior to the reassembling of the House of
Commons.
it is stated that Mr.. Gladstone proposes to
drop the Parish Councils bill and the EN-
ployers' Liability bill, and to make an appeal
to the country within month.
After the Cabinet Counsel was concluded,
today, the Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Liberal Federation obtained perInis-
sion to put a resolution before the annual
meeting of the Federation, on Thursday, de-
claring that no further mischievous meddling
by the House of Lords shall detract from the
work of charter reform, which the represen-
tative house is authorized to carry out.
1t is reported that the delegates will be
asked to approve resolution declaring that
the continuance of a house of hereditary
legislators has become intolerable, and that
the House of Lords has been allowed to exist
too long.
The House of Commons met today pur-
suant to the adjournment had on January
IL. Soon after the formal opening of the
session, Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett asked
WHETHER une OoVerulneHb Woulu guarantees
British merchant ships at Rio Janeiro the
same facilities for dischargipg their cargoes
as were enjoyed by the vessels of other
countries. He also desired to be informed
whether the Government, upon a settlement
of the struggle in Brazil, would secure to
British merchantmen equal rights with those
of vessels of other countries.
Sir Edward Grey, Parliamentary Secre-
tary of the Foreign Office, in reply, said that
British merchantmen enjoyed the same
facilities as were had by the vessels of other
nations. The Government, he added, would me-
glect no opportunity to accure the commerce
of Great Britain the same advantages as
were accorded to other countries.

TIE DEAN RECOVERED IT.
A Woman After Receiving Aid From
Him. Adiomrms to a saloon.

There are few, if any, in this city who re-
ceive more calls from the poverty stricken
and destitute than the Very Rev. Dean Nc
Nulty, and the amount of charity he dis
penses is only known to the big hearted
clergyman himself Occasionally an un-
worthy visitor succeeds i'll imposing on the
Dean, but long years of close association
with the poor have taught him the ways of
the willy, and of late such cases have not
been as numerous as formerly. The most
recent attempt to fraudulently obtain sym
pathy from the Dean was made few days
ago, when woman submitted to him tale
of woe calculated to soften the hardest of
hearts,
"Why don't you call at the relief station
or visit the city authorities" inquired the
Dean soothingly.
'sOh, Father Mac" " replied the woman, Kit
is not food so much. have children at
home, and / want something to keep them
warm. You know it is hard on them in this
weather"
The Dean promptly extracted S. bill
from his pocket and handed it to the woman,
saying, Here, go and buy something to
keep your children warm" The visitor was
profuse in her thanks but after she had left
suspicion seized the Dean, and donning his
great coat, he fastened after the woman.
He caught sight of her just as she was pass
ing into the family entrance" of a
Grand street saloon. The Dean quick
ened his pace and to the astonish-
ment of the bartender was soon
standing close to the little window through
which liquor is passed to female customers.
s'Give me pint of the best and see that it is
the best" came in a familiar voice from the
other side of the window The bartender
filed pint bottle and as he approached the
window the woman placed SIS bill on the
sill The Dean pounced upon it, and, re-
marking to the bartender, '1the bottle is
yours, and the S. bill is mine, left the saloon
hurriedly with Indignation on his counte-
nance The bartender stood the centre Of
the floor, clutching the bottle, and when he
had recovered from the surprise ordered the
woman to ''git." It is unnecessary to say
that she will not call upon the Dean again
for assistance. Paterson Guardian.

BLIZZARD IN chicago
The Worst Storm In Twenty
Three Years-Women Blown
Off Their Feet.

CHICAGO, Feb. 70, 1S94-The worst
blizzard which ever struck this city SO far as
the Weather Bureau records show for
twenty three years, is raging here. Street
traffic is greatly impeded and walking is
accompanied with great danger to
to life and limb. Many persons have
already been injured by being
blown to the ground, against walls and
street posts by the wind. The velocity is
eighty miles an hour, the highest ever re-
corded for this city and almost double the
velocity of the wind, which is blowing a
blizzard in the Western States. The follow
ing statement was made by the Chief of the
Weather Bureau to United Press cores
pondent this morning.
COURSE OF THE STORM,
"This storm started on the southeast of
California, Saturday, and Sunday it struck
Texas. Then it turned to the northeast and
increased in energy. This morning it was
central in the Ohio Valley. There is over
Lake Superior an area of very high pressure
and its proximity to the storm centre of
the Ohio Valley has caused the alb
normally high wind in this vicinity.
The storm has stopped in the south
west, and will stop in this neighborhood to-
night followed by fair weather with cold
wave tomorrow. The wind is now eighty
miles an hour, blowing from the northeast
1t will shift to the northwest tomorrow
morning and moderate greatly. The storm
is now moving eastward. This is the highest
steady wind since the bureau was established
thirty-two years ago. The thermometer is
twenty-three degrees above zero, but it will
go down to zero when the wind abates"
WOMEN BLOWN OFF THEIR FEET.
The wind was SO furious at the corners
where '.sky scrapersn are built, especially
the Monadnock and Annex block bounded
by Jackson, Van Buren, and Dearborn
streets and Custom House place, that extra
policemen gave all their attention to the
pedestrians. Dozens Of women were lifted
off their feet and blown to the ground or
else pushed across the streets until they came
in violent contact with walls, posts and
other distractions
Mrs. Brahany of No. 361 South Clinton
street, charwoman at the Art Institute,
was lifted in the air and dashed against the
fire plug at the Dearborn and Van Buren,
street corner Two of her ribs were broken
and it is believed she is internally injured.
She lay in the snowdrift until men rushed
to her rescue and the police ambulance took
her home. The gusts of wind and binding
particles of snow frightened men as well
as women from attempting to cross Dear
born street at Van Buren. The fate of
others kept them within sheltering doorways
Civilians and policemen became a volunteer
brigade, and, on the principle that in union
there is strength, they locked arms with the
belated office workers and crossed in safety.
