GEN. CARR PASSES AWAY.
He WAS A VALIANT SOLDIER
DURING THE CIVIL
WAR.
New YORK REPUBLICANS HONORED
HIM REPEATEDLY WITH
OFFICE.

Troy. n. Y, Feb. 24.-General Joseph B.

morning.
General Carr was born in Albany, n Y,
OF Irish parentage, August IS, 1928, and re-
ceived his education in the public schools
OF Troy, \. Y, where his family removed
soon after his birth. His boyhood was un-
eventful, and after receiving lair English
education he was apprenticed by his
parents to a tObaccOniSt, with whom he re-
manned for several years. He afterward
identified himself with the leading indus
try OF the city, iron manufacturing, and
also enlisted in the service of the State in
1o49 as member of the Republican City
Guard. His advancement was gradual and
ten years later he was chosen colonel of the
Twenty-fourth Regiment of State militia
When the War of the Rebellion broke out
Colonel Carr was among the first to volun-
teer, and on May 10, 1861, he was commits
stoned colonel of the Second Regiment of
New York Volunteers. He took his regi-
ment Immediately to Washington and
was the first TO encamp on the soil of Vir-
ginia.
During the Peninsular campaign of 1862
4lN NdO u SdNGu Will NIlG new 1OIh
brigade, General Frank Patterson, and
during the latter's absence commanded the
brigade. He soon became very popular
with the troops, as he proved himself a
Woodworking, efficient and courageous
officer. At Malvern Hills, August A, 1862.
he was placed in command of the brigade
by General Hooker, and afterward, at his
commanders request, was promoted to be
Brigadier-General. His commission bears
date September I, 1862 No brigade COM
mander thereafter saw more active and
arduous service than General Carr. At
Bristol station, in a sharp skirmish, he had
a narrow escape, his horse being killed
under him, and at Charlottesville
he assumed the command of Hooker
old division after the fall of General
Berry. In the battle of Gettysburg
his command was in the hottest
of the fray, and in the operations immedi-
ately subsequent ito the battle General
Carr was assigned to the command of the
Third Division of the Fifth Army Corps.
During the remainder of the war his
transfers were numerous General Carr
was known as strict disclplinarian, and
especially useful in recognizing COM
lmands whose morale had been affected.
For some time before the close of the war
he was in command at City Point. He
was promoted as brevet major-general be-
fore being mustered out of service.
Before this, however on August "A, 1865,
he was nominated as Secretary of State OF
New York by the Republican party. He
was not elected, but in 1879 his party re-
warded his services by electing him to the
Office mentioned and re-electing him in
1881 and 1888. In 1885 he was the Repub-
ican candidate.for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

BISHOP WATTERSON'S
new DEPARTURE.
AN OHIO CATHOLIC PRELATE AD-
DRESSES THE COLUMBUS
Y. M. C. A.
THE EVENT UNPRECEDENTED.
A LARGE AUDIENCE GIVES THE
SPEAKER AN ENTHUSIASTIC
GREETING.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. A.-Right Rev.
John A. Watterson Bishop OF the Column
bia diocese, addressed big meeting of the
Y. NJ. G. A. to-day. AS many persons as
gained admittance to the hail were turned
away. This is the first time in history that
Catholic clergyman has addressed meet
ing under the auspices of the Y. NJ. g. A,
and naturally it attracted wide attention.
The bishop was introduced by General
Secretary w. T. Parkins and spoke for an
hour and half on christian Citizen
ship" the audience being held in wrapt
attention, and frequently breaking into
applause. When the bishop advanced on
the platform the applause amounted to an
ovation, and he thanked the audience for
their generous welcome. 1t showed him,
he said, that they did not regard him as
ga bull in china shop, especially papal
bull in the beautiful china shop of the Y.
NJ. c. A." The climax of his eloquent adj
dress was reached in the following pas
sage:
"While [ am uncompromising in the
matter of my faith and indexible in those
lines of conduct which depend on the
principles of faith and while would de-
serve the contempt and scorn of every
right-minded man if [ were recreant to my
conscience in those things which l hold as
truths, yet I know of no doctrine of the
Catholic church which prohibits or pre-
vents me from working for the good of my
fellowmen; no doctrine which interferes
with my allegiance to the Government and
laws of my country. On the contrary, [
know that the whole teaching and the
whole spirit of my religion requires me to
be true to my country and its Government
and to promote its honor by the faithful
discharge of all the duties of American citi-
zenship, and all of you would know it, too,
if you knew my religion as well as l do. "

THE BANK RATE STAFIONARY.
Il Decided Anriety for Bonds ia the
London Market.

I@OttUOh IIUThets
LONDON, Feb. 24-Only during the two
worst periods of the present century has
the bank rate remained at per cent, at
one time for thirteen and another for six
teen months. Beyond a light hardening
of rates, on account of the new American
loan, there is no visible prospect OF a
change, the rush for bonds here indicating
an anxiety to find a fair investment. 1t
has been estimated that had the new issues
been made as gold instead of coin bonds
the price would have been 1870 instead of
49,
MBusiness in the stock market was only
moderate, but the tone was altogether
better, except for consols, which were sold
to provide money for the new American
loan. Most investments advanced but the
London water works stock fell from 10 to
10 per cent during the week, the question
being before Parliament for county coun-
ellis buying the companies out. Foreign
securities, including Argentines, were dull
Egyptian securities were down on rumors
of trouble between the Khedive and Baron
Cromer, the British agent and Consul
General at Cairo. Mining shares were
moderately active and Brazilians rose
sharply on the news of the international
loan Only the best American railroad
bonds improved. Other American railway
securities were not affected by the new
loan. There was a rally in the securities
of the Grand Trunk of Canada.

CAPT. HOWGATE NOT GUILTY
The EX-SIGNAL SERVICE CLERKS
ACQUITTAL OF FORGERY
CHARGES.
SEVEN MORE INDICTMENTS AGAINST
HIM WILL KEEP HIM
IN JAIL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Captain Henry
Howgate, formerly disbursing clerk of the
signal service, who has been on trial here
since January % on two indictments charg-
ing HIM with embezzlement and forgery,
was to-day acquitted of the charges.
The case was given to the jury at noon
on Thursday last and it was not until noon
to-day that a verdict was reached. On the
first ballot it is said the vote stood seven to
five for acquittal. The jury reported yes
terday their inability to agree, but Judge
McComas insisted they should remain and
try again.
The Howgate trial has been unusual in
many ways Fourteen years ago import
ant frauds affecting large sums of money
were discovered in the signal service ac-
counts and Howgate was charged with
having committed them. He was arrested,
but by ruse escaped from his guards and
for thirteen years remained in New York
City. Although a reward of $4,000 was
offered for his capture he was not arrested
until last fall
AT the beginning of the trial there was
hot legal battle in regard to the validity of
the indictments on which it was proposed
to try Howgate. They were finally sus-
tanned and the case was tried on its merits
The jury found that the case was not
barred by the statute of limitations, but
held that Howgate was not guilty of the
particular offenses charged
After the verdict was reached Howgate
was sent back to await trial on the seven
indictments still remaining against him
1t is not known which of these will first be
tried

Game Warden Fish Commissioners, Pilot
Commissioners and Food Commissioner.
The result will be that the present officers
will hold over until the next session of the
Legislature, two years from now.
As far as general legislation is concerned
the Legislature Just closed has been total
failure. Very few bills affecting the State
at large became laws, and in several in
stances bills of local nature, such as
amending city charters, were killed owing
to the factional differences over the United
States Senatorship.
The bill over which the most bitter fight
occurred was that amending the charter
of the city of Portland. Strong opposition
TO the bill developed in this city on account
OF a provision for board of public works.
The bill passed the Senate, but was killed
in the House

liberating two and half hours the jury in
the Woodruff case at Perryville late last
night returned verdict of guilty, fixing
the punishment at one years imprison-
ment. This is the fourth trial of the

again resulted in a disagreement, the
jury standing ten to two for conviction

appropriating State funds and was &C
quilted. The present specific charge was
false pretenses in obtaining the signatures
of the State debt board to an order to sell
certain scrip to one Johnson L. Jones.

Nc Brides Election 4StOniShes the Oregon
Congressional Delegation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The news of the
election of George W. Mcbride as United
States Senator from Oregon was a great
surprise to the Congressional delegation
from Oregon. Mr.. Mcbride, though we'll
known il his State, has not been in any
way mentioned for Senator, and it was
supposed his health would not permit him
TO be a candidate for any office. He was
in this city about a month ago on his way
back to Oregon from New York, where he
had undergone surgical operation.
In speaking OF the matter tonight, Rep
resentatiye Hermann of Oregon, said:
Il have known Senator Mcbride in
timately for years. He was a competitor
OF mine in 1884 before the Republican con
vention for the nomination to Congress.
Before that he was d member of the State
Legislature and speaker of the State House
OF Representatives. He had suffered so
much from intiammatory rheumatism that
he had practically withdrawn from politics
and was not elected TO any office at the end
Of his term. He is of a very amiaple dis
position, OF refined appearance and is liked
by all who know him.
He comes of distinguished family.
His father, DR.. Mcbride, was Lincoln 5
minister TO the Sandwich Islands in the
early COS. His brother, John R. Mcbride,
was the first Republican Congressman
from the State of Oregon. His mothers
brother, ". w. Adams, was Collector of
the Port and held other important posi-
tons
. Senator Mcbride took no part in the
recent Senatorial fight, and suppose was
elected as popular compromise candidate
to prevent the Legislature from failing to
elect and leaving the place vacant"
