DUcKiNC IN THE MARSHES.
The President and Party Practicng on
Small Game Before Engaging in
Deer Drive.

GEORGETOWN, s. c., Dec. 16.-The
Government launch Water Lily came up
to the city this evening, reaching here
about O'Clock, bringing mail and dis
patches from the Presidential party. The
President is in good health. A deer drive
had been arranged for to-day, but the
woods were so wet from the recent rains
that it was abandoned. The party broke
camp this afternoon and, embarking on
the Water Lily, came from the Santee
through the Mosquito Creek canal to the
lighthouse tender Wistaria, which was
anchored in Winyah Bay, near South
Island. After receiving the party and
taking on board the baggage and bags of
game the Wistaria steamed over to NJ uddy
Bay. where she lies tonight, about mile
distant from the AnnadaIe Club lodge
or Friendfeld.
President Cleveland and his companions
will go ducking in the marshes tomorrow
morning, and if the weather is as cold
and windy as it has been to-day they will
have fine sport.
The President and party will remain at
Friendfield until Saturday, going ducking
each morning, and as an invitation has
been extended them by the Donaldson
Bros. for deer drive on their lands, it is
probable that they will yet have the pleas
ure of adding buck or two to their list
of game

PU7A7IYE N0BLEMEN IN JAiL.
Two Clever Confidence Men, after Work.
ing the Large European Cities, Come
to Grief at Chicago.

TO Grief at Chicago.
CHICAGO, I'LL, Dec. 16.-Two prisoners
who claim to be descendants of foreign
nobility are locked up at police head
quarters on charges of swindling. They
are Count Henry King OF Strasburg, Ger
many, and Prince Lorenzo Mabes of
Naples. Italy. Whoever they are the
police say they are clever confidence
men and that they are wanted by the
authorities OF many large cities of this
country and Europe, including London,
Paris, Naples, New York and st. Louis
They have been living here for some time,
it is said, on the proceeds of their last
swindle.
IhThey came to America from Strasburg
several months ago and during the trip
met Camille Boussart and Alice Smith,
who intended to open dressmaking parlors
in Chicago.
After spending some little time in New
York and other Eastern cities, where they
are said to have operated swindling
schemes, they came to Chicago and took
up their residence in the same hotel where
their women acquaintances were living.
Recently the noblemen disappeared from
the hotel, after having secured $4,000, it is
alleged, from the dressmakers and with
out having settled their board bill. Com
plant was made at police headquarters
and King was arrested this afternoon as
he was leaving one of the theaters. He
said that his companion, Mabes, was at
the Eureka Hotel on Adams street, and
the detectives found him in the parior
entertaining a number of ladies with the
piano. He speaks huently five languages
and is highly accomplished.

sIGsoR FEKRANTI DEAD.

The Once Famous operate Singer a
Tictina of Cab accident.
NEW YORK. N. Y, Dec. 16.-Signor
Pletro Ferranti, formerly a celebrated
operate singer, died yesterday at noon at
the New York Hospital. where be had
been taken suffering from the effects Of an
accident.
Twenty years ago there were few singers
on the operate and concert stage in this
city better known or more popular than
Signor Ferranti. He had a fine voice
which he knew how to use to the best ad-
vantage, and he was special favorite at
the fashionable musicales of the season.
Signor Ferranti was knocked down and
run over by cab at the corner of Twenty
fifth street and Fourth avenue on Decent
Der 4. He was badly injured, several
bones having been broken, and some of his
friends had him removed TO the hospital
on December 5. Everything possible was
done for him, but he continued to grow
worse and several days ago the physicians
in attendance pronounced his case hope
less.

SESSION OF THE HOUSE.
Army Appropriation Bill Raises Many
Points of Order.

Points of Order.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Dec 16.-In the
House to-day Bailey CD of Texas asked
immediate consideration of resolution
providing for an investigation by SUBJ
committee of the Committee on Naval
Affairs into the alleged defects of the bat
tleship Texas On objection by Dingley
(R. of Maine, the resolution was referred
to the com m itIee without action.
The Presidents veto of tie bill granting
a pension to Nancy g.. Allabach, which
the Senate passed yesterday over the
Presidents objections, was read and re-
ferred to the Committee on Invalid PEN
sions.
On motion of Hull (R.) of Iowa the
House went into committee OF the whole,
Hopkins (R.) of Illinois in the chair, to
consider the army appropriation bill. Mr..
Hull mode brief explanation of the pro-
visions of the bill. 1t made an increase
for the pay of the army, that for the cur
rent year having beenfound about 500, 900
short.
The provision extending from twenty to
thirty days the period in which the pay
master-general may examine paymasters'
accounts recommended by the committee
was stricken out on point OF order that
it was new legislation.
The same point was made by Little Cd
of Arkansas against the provision aban-
doning and transferring the Hot Springs
army hospital to the Interior Department.
and the point was sustained. In a subse-
quent somewhat desultory discussion
Payne (R.) of New York gave the history
of the improvement of Hot Springs, stat
ing that when it came to getting an ap-
preparation for assumed Governmen pur-
poses, private parties benefiting to the
greater extent, the people of Hot Springs,
ArK w n 1o1 IA halo
over
Hull sought to obtain the object desired
by the provision inserted by the committee
by an amendment declaring that no part
OF the money appropriated by the section
should be applied TO the support of the
Hot Springs Hospital.
Dinghy Or. of Maine said the PROPOSE
ton involved only the right and power OF
the House to restrict and limit expendi-
lures. and did not change existing law.
Grow (R.) OF Pennsylvania, supporting
the position of Dingley, recalled that the
famous Wilmot proviso was added under
the same conditions as HulPs amendment
10 the bill appropriating $1,000, 600 to
enable the United States to negotiate a
treaty of peace with Mexico, and received
its name because it was proviso limiting
the expenditures OF the money.
So, too, at the time of the Kansas border
troubles proviso was added to the army
appropriation bill that no part OF the
money therein appropriated should be
expended in enforcing the laws OF the
bogus legislature of that State.
Despite these arguments and decisions
quoted by the gentleman Chairman Hop
kins said he must differ from the sup
porters of the amendment and held that
inasmuch as the hospital was authorized
by law and appropriations made Tor its
support the amendment proposed a
change of the law and he must rule it out
of order.
From this ruling Hull appealed and the
committee-69 to 50-sustained the chair.

Mr.. Payne is the choice of large num-

has no intention of setting to work on it
before February.

Best-suoar bounty La,c Opinion.

LINCOLN ,NEBR.. Dec. 16-The.Supreme
Court to-day rendered an opinion on the
beet-sugar bounty law. which, while not
passing on the constitutionality of the
act, deIares the bounty not collectible,
inasmuch as the Legislature made no
specific appropriation for its payment.
This means that the sugar fact cries at
Norfolk and Grand Island will lose sum
estimated at $50, 600. unless at the COMING
session of the LEGISLATURE specific appro-
priation is made for their benefit. in
which event the constitutionality of the
law may be questioned.

ing OF FTtS0u.
OGDEN, UTAH, Dec. 16.-W. S. Edison,
M. A. Earlscount and w. " ell, inmates
OF the County Jail, escaped at $3.50 o'clock
this morning, and two of them are still
at large. Edison is the man who shot his
former sweetheart, Miss OFT, in the lungs,
and tried to kill her escort McCabe.
Earlscount is burglar, and We'll is a
forger of a long record. All three were
awaiting trial.
The escape was effected by cutting
through the ceiling of the Jail corridor,
the cage door having been left I'M
fastened and, crawling between the CELL
ing and the floor above, then breaking
through and dropping into hall. There
the men broke through transom and
went into the courthouse proper, whence
they easily got away.
We'll, the forger, was caught this fore
noon as he was boarding a Southern
Pacific freight for the West. The others
are still at large.
