Phil Sheridan's Family.
Washington Letter.


Miss Mary Sheridan, the daughter of Gen.
Phil Sheridan, is taking quite a prominent
part in social life, to which she was intro
duced few weeks ago. she left school in
Philadelphia in June, and her two sisters
are still in the academy there. Mrs. Sheri-
dan goes out but little herself, but since
her daughters coming out she has taken
a great interest in the festivities OF the
season. In speaking about her husband
the other day Mrs. Sheridan remarked that
she did not expect to write his life herself

Sandow and Bob Ingersol crossed
orbits so to speak, in Minneapolis hotel
a few days ago. Each was pointed out to
the other. According to Tribune
porter Ingersoll said of Sandow:
His feats almost make one believe that

founded upon fact, and that at some
time some man might have pulled down
temple.
And Sandow said of Ingersoll

1t may be worthy of notice that the one

The trolley railroad strike in Brook
lyn is practically ended, and, as all
sensible people must have foreseen from
the beginning, it has ended in the de-
feat of the strikers, as must always be
the case when violence is resorted to.
The rights of property and the author
ity of law are too well established in
this country and the power for their
enforcement is too great to admit the
possibility of any other ending than
failure to an attempt to overthrow
them. In this case the original de-
mands of the strikers were founded on
justice, and the sympathy of the pub
lie was with them, but as soon they
began to disregard public and private
rights, block the transportation of a
great city and destroy property their
cause was lost

Perhaps it is not worth while for the
Legislature to waste much time trying
70 prevent the marriage in this State
of runaway couples from Kentucky.
Such marriages are quite as apt to turn
out happily as any other. and the OH

fer the greatest happiness on the great
est number. Marriage by elopement is
a very economical way of reaching the
welded state, and the Legislature should
not discourage matrimony.

sUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Consideration Almost Completed
Measure REGARDING Clerks Fees.

Measure Regarding Clerks Fees.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The House to-
day devoted all it's time to consideration
of the sudry civil appropriation bill, with
such success that at the hour of adjourn
ment it had completed the reading of the
bill except for controverted para
graphs, which were temporarily passed
over. The case of Judge Kicks had
echo in the adoption of an amendment,
offered by Mr.. Ray, of making it unlawful
for clerks of United States courts to in
Guide in their emoiuments fees not earned
and due at the time their acts were rem
dered, and forbidding the allowance of fees
not actually earned. The amendment ex-
cited no debate. Several other amendments
were adopted, among them one appropriate
ing 900 for printing the report of the
Secretary of Agriculture. $4,000 for print
ing $1,000 copies of the famous Horse
Book" and $4,000 for printing for each
member of Congress a complete set of the
Union and confederate records.
At the opening of the session, on motion
OF Mr.. Shell a resolution was passed pro-
viding for investigation by the commit
tee on ventilation and public buildings and
grounds of the Office of architect of the
capital.
The House then, motion of Mr.. Sayers.
went into committee of the whole and re-
sumed consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bill. There was long dis
cuSSlOn IN connection with appropriation
of $685., 900 for the Mississippi River Conn
mission, participated in by Mr.. Hepburn
on one side and Mr.. Catchings and Mr..
Money the other. The former contended
that in the case of the moneys expended
by the government for leyees below Cairo
there a division of the public funds
for solely private uses, and the latter de-
Tended the Mississippi river appropria ton.
Mr.. Cannon concluded the debate by quot
ing the words of the late President
Garfield in his letter of acceptance, con-
graduating the country on the progress OF
great national river water ways improve
ments, like the Mississippi river, which
drained a territory in which dwelt q, 900, 900
people.
An amendment was agreed to on motion
Of Mr.. Sayers providing for the expendi-
ture of not exceeding $4,000 of the appro-
priation of $685. 1888 for the Improvement from
the mouth of the Ohio river to the mouth
of the Missouri river, for using movable
jetties and steel caissonS in removing, bars
and improving the low-water channel of
the Mississippi river
Mr.. Ray offered the following proviso to
the appropriations for clerks of the United
States courts:
'.And 1t shall be unlawful for any clerk
of any court of the United States to in
clude in his enolument account or return
any fee fees not actually earned and
due at the time Such account return
is required by law to be made. and no fee
not actually earned shall be allowed in
any such account"
There was no debate on the amendment,
but Mr.. Ray stated privately that his
amendment (Which was agreed TOD was de-
signed to make such practices as had been
disclosed in the Judge Kicks investigation
impossible in the future.
At 40 the House adjourned.

To End the Monopoly.

NEW YORK, January l5.-The
World says: 1t is probable that
the so.called "voting trust" which
has long controlled the elections
Of the Ontario and Western railroad
will soon be done away with. 1t is
learned that president Fowler of
the Ontario and Western will sail
for Europe in few days. While
abroad he will consult with the
English men having large hold
ings Of the stock with a view of
having small dividend paid on
common stock this spring. The
road is not able to pay a regular
dividend on the common stock but
it will be enough to end the days
OF the "voting trust" the voting
power having been placed in the
hands Of the trustees until such
times as dividend shall be de-
clared on the common stock.
