LORD puNRAvEN. G. OLIVER BELIN.

After reviewing the evidence in detail
and explaining fully its efforts to obtain
all the facts possible bearing upon the
controversy. the committee states its con-
clusion as follows:
Upon a careful consideration of the whole
case, the committee are unanimously of the
opinion that the charge made by Lord Dun
raven, and which has been the subject of this
investigation, had it's origin in mistake; that
it is not only not sustained by evidence, but IS
completely disproved, and that all the cir
cumstances indicated by him as giving rise to
his suspicion are entirely and satisfactorily
explained.
They deem it, therefore, but just to Mr..
Iselin and the gentlemen concerned with nm,
as well as to the officers and crew of the De-
fender, that the committee should express en-
phatically their conviction that nothing what
ever occurred in connection with the race in
question that casts the least suspicion upon
the integrity propriety of their conduct.
And the committee are not willing to doubt
that if Lord Dunraven had remained present
throughout the investigation SO as to have
heard all the evidence that was introduced, he
would of his own motion. withdrawn charge
that was so plainly founded upon mistake, and
that has been so unfortunate in the publicity
it has attained, and the feeling to which it had

HIS MESSAGE FOR GEORGE.
A Youthful Trenton Politician For Whom
High Station Has No Awe.

High Station Has No Awe.
Barney Carney is a Trenton Postal
messenger boy. He is known to every
statesman in New Jersey, be he large or

man too. Barney is small for his age,

him, and with the help of this he prom

very busy man he will at least ask,
whats your name, my little manY
before he passes out the regulation %
cent tip. That S all Barney wants. From
that moment the statesman and Barney
are on familiar terms.
whats your name, mister?" is his
Yankee fashion of replying. The states
man may reply by saying Smith OF
Jones, but that doesn't suit Barney.
ooh, knows dat What I wants is
de fust name; see?" he promptly retorts.
ooh, my first name is George" said
Governor Werts when Barney cornered
him one day after New jerseys chief
executive had fallen into Barney's trap
by asking his name.
"All right I'm 'bliged to you, )" said
Barney as he pulled his hat down over
his eyes and left the statehouse.
Shortly after this incident Barney
had message for Governor Werts. Ii
was from General Plume, requesting to
know of the governor upon what train
he would leave Trenton in order that he
might meet him at Jersey City and es
cort him to the Waldorf, where the gov
ernor's staff had prepared a farewell
luncheon. The statehouse corridors were
packed with statesmen when Barney en-
tered the capitol.
"Wheres George, Maurice?" said
Barney going up to Senator Rogers.
The senator, not wishing to enter into a
controversy, replied that he did not
know. Barney moved ON down the cor
ridor.
"Say, Al, kin you tell me eff Georges
in his Officer" said Barney, approaching
Assemblyman Skinner.
81 don't know who you mean, Bar
ney," answered Mr.. Skinner.
ooh, you's slow. Youse Essex peo'
pie allus was slow, anyhow, was Bar
ney's reply, and he marched down the
corridor.
Just before he reached the cross cor.
ridor leading to the executive chamber
Barney met Executive Clerk Edward D.
Fox.
"Hello, Ed. Say, Ed, where's
George?" sang out Barney.
"Oh, he's engaged now, Barney, with
Mr.. Hobart, replied Mr.. Fox.
whats dat? Carrot in ther? Well,
I'll go see him, Iguess. - And Barney pa
raded into the innermost circle of execu-
tive privacy. Seeing Governor Werts
engaged he boldly approached the desk,
"Say, George" said Barney to the
governor, "heres a message fur you.
It's from some chump what wants job,
guess.
And Barney threw the message on the
desk and vanished. Trenton Letter in

Sacred Landmark Destroyed.

BOSTON, Feb. 4-Tottering walls and
charred ruins now crown the summit of
Meeting House Hill, the site of one of the
landmarks of Boston and one of the oldest
churches in America, the First Parish
Unitarian church. Early yesterday morn
ing the church was entirely destroyed by
fire, which started from the furnace. Five
firemen were injured, two of them quite
seriously. The loss of the church itself is
total, but the building is so old that it is
hard to say just what the value was.

IN HUB MARKETS.
Butter Prices Irregular, With
Downward Turn.

No New Features In Cheese-Eggs De-
toes-Market Quotations.
BosToN, Feb. 5-The butter market has
taken another downward turn. New
York made bad break under the infiu-
ence of heavy receipts and Elgin gave
way little, but held up better than was
expected. Chicago ruled somewhat easier,
and is likely to fall into line with New
York if receipts continue to increase.
Boston has dropped about cent, but is
still higher than other markets on fancy
fresh stock, which is in very small supply.
Most of the receipts from Vermont ana
New Hampshire are more or less oil In
flavor this week.
For this reason our prices for first-class
fresh made butter in small packages are
to cents above New York's highest
quotations. This may seem incredible to
people at distance and to buyers who
may come into the market for small lots,
but it is true, nevertheless. as they Will
find if they want fine, full-favored lot or
| creamery.
AZ other kinds are quite plentiful ana
| can be bought about as low as in any
quality, there is a drop of several cents,
and sellers are ready to accept any reason
able bid This is an uncommon state of
affairs for so early in February, and has
not been equaled for many years past.
| Cheese.
The cheese market has not developed
any new features. There has been no in
creased demand, and buyers continue to
operate only for immediate wants. Sales
of best fall make in a small way at l0% to
III CENTS including twins, but large lot
could not be sold in the open market at
over l0A cents.
A few lots of cheap summer cheese have
been sold for export, and negotiations for
more are under way, but the demand from
abroad is rather light and does not offer
any encouragement for better prices.
Eggs.
The price of fresh western eggs dropped
to IA and Az cents under the influence of
the liberal receipts and the market was
considerably demoralized.
The Sc are remarkably low prices for the
first week in February, and it is hardly
possible that they will continue so low all
through the month. Still the receipts are
large, and the eggs must be sold at one
| price or another.
Holders of refrigerator stock have been
selling at almost any price they could get.
Some sales of to 10 cents dozen, and
s.. so to So q case. The cold storage stock
was reduced POSI- cases, and stood at 5647

very largely to the seductive form in
which the free silver advocates have
put forward their side Of the financial
