PHILOSOPHICAL MEETING.

Cincinnati, o., March 24.-College
hall was too small for the people who
desired to see and hear the crusading
Theophists at that place last night.
The stage was beautifully garnished
with the flags of all nations of the
earth. Mrs. Tingley made the princi-
pie address. A musical program was
also rendered. Mr.. e. T. Musgrove,
president of the Theosophical socie-
ties of Europe, America and Austria
liza, in the course of his remarks, said
the object Of the crusade was to carry
the gospel of universal brotherhood
around the world. In their tour they
were instrumental in forming 273 new
branches Of the society. The talking
by Mrs Tingley and Mr.. Musgrove
was largely in answer to questions,
multitude Of which were sent to them
from the audience. They go to Co
lumbuS today.

SCHOONERS WRECKED.

New York, March PA big three
masted schooner, under bare poles and
laden down with what seemed to be a
heavy cargo, was driven on Jones' In
let shoals, two miles off Far Rocka-
way in the furious storm that ragged
last night. When the vessel struck
there was a heavy sea, a strong cas-
terly wind and some fog, and try as
they would, the crew of the Rocka-
way life saving station were unable
to launch a boat or render any aid to
the men on the imperilled vessel. AS
soon as the storm abated sufficiently
to enable the life savers to launch
a boat the crew of the distressed
schooner will be rescued. If the storm
continues for any length Of time, how
ever, there is danger of the schooner
breaking to pieces, in which event it
would be almost impossible on board
to escape death.

SNOWFALL WAS VERY GREAT
AND LARGELY IMPEDED
TRAFFIC AND BUSINESS.
The Thawing Up May Be Danger
Gus To The Already Overflow
ing Mississippi - Severe
est Blow OF The Winter
At Some Places.

Chicago, March 4.-During the
past "a hours over eight inches of
snow has fallen in the city, the high
est fall for the month of March in the
history of the weather bureau. 1t
meltead almost as rapidly as it fell,
and with the wind blowing 80 miles
an hour, pedestrians found it hard
work to get around. The storm came
from Texas, stopped over Monday
night in Kentucky and then passed on
to the Western Ohio valley and Chica-
go which was it's northeriy limit Here
the flood waters broke the demoraliz-
ing effect. The DesplaineS river is
nine feet in depth at Riverside. The
summer depth is two feet. Railway
tracks parallel to the Illinois and
Michigan canal are almost covered
with the water. The waves of the
lake beat over the tracks of the I'LL
nois Central road.
At Bridgeport the Chicago river rose
a foot, due to the overflow of the Des-
PLANES. Few parts of Illinois, Eas-
tern Iowa, and Southern Wisconsin
escaped the storm. Twelve inches fell
at Rockford and Freeport and four
teen inches at Galya. Rock river at
Milan is threatening great damage to
farm property from a sudden rise.
The Mississippi rose eight inches at
Davenport. At that place the snow
storm was one of the heaviest on rec
ord for the month of March. Over
six inches of damp snow covers the
ground and it will add greatly to the
volume of water in the Mississippi
when it melts.
Milwaukee reports the storm at that
place and vicinity one of the severest
of the winter. Over six inches of
snow fell and the storm severely in
terfered with street car traffic. Many
of the lines had to be abandoned.
At ElkhOrn, Wis, trains were block
AIDED by blizzard of snow and wind.
Dams on the st. Croix river are being
washed out rapidly and lumbermen
fear great damage. Alton fears a Sc
rious food, the Mississippi there being
Is feet above low water mark.
Riverside, Summit, Lyons and other
small towns and villages situated
southwest Of Chicago, on the banks Of
the Desplaines river, are flooded from
the overflow of that river. Many of
the residents of these places are una
BILE to leave their homes, except in row
boats or RATS. Notwithstanding the
heavy overflow it is not thought that
the loss in the vicinity will be very
heavy as many of the residents had
prepared themselves for the flood.

FIXED THE JURY.
Some Sensational Disclosures in an
Alabama Court.

Some Sensational Disclosures in an
Alabama Court.
Birmingham, Ala, March pa
special to the State Herald from Cad
sen, Ala, says:
Quite a sensation occurred Saturday
in the city court in the case of Dan
forth and Armstrong VS.. the TenneS-
see and COoSa railroad. The matter
came up by the attorneys, Judge VIM.
Richardson, of Huntsville; J. G. Brad
ford, of Nashville; A. G. Smith, of
Birmingham, and Amos Godhue, of
Gadsden, for the defendant, who NOV
ed to dismiss the case on the ground
that G. Z. Danforth, of Chattanooga,
|Fenn., the plaintiff, in connection with
one DR.. d. III. Baker, of Gadsden, had
corruptly Influenced the jury, in rem
dering a verdict for 100000 at the
October term Of 1894, against the de-
PENDANT. The contract between Dan
forth and Baker, by which Baker was
guaranteed the payment of $4,000
for successfully fixing the jury, was
in evidence with twenty letters signed
by Baker and DanfOrth, which disclos-
ed what Judge Disque, the presiding
judge, denounced the affair the most
horrible state of affairs and diaboli-
cal conspiracy that had ever occurred
in a court in Alabama"
The letters, part of which were writ
ten by Danforth and part by Baker,
disclosed the fact that DanfOrth had
paid Baker money which the latter
had used in fixing and corrupting the
Jury. The letter disclosed that there
was in existence at the present time
n contract to continue former corrupt
practices. The letters also showed
that the conspirators were so bold and
daring as to contemplate the APP
preaching of the Supreme court Of the
state.
After a full and elaborate argument
of counsel for both sides, Judge Dis
que stated that the matter was of
such grave importance and magni-
tude. involving, as it did, the purity
of the administration Of justice" that
he deemed it his imperative duty to
take the motion to dismiss the case
under Amusement before rendering
any decision on the same, but the
offense to corrupt the jury was so
clearly proven that he ordered the in
slant arrest of both G. e. Danforth
and D. II. Baker, requiring them each
to give $1,000 bond to appear before
the next grand jury Of Etowah county
to answer an indictment for corruptly
a jury.
The arrest OF Danforth and Baker |
created a profound sensation in the |
town, and the honest, good people, of |
Gadsden and Etowah county are anx-
Ious for the sake of the good name Of |
the county to have the matter ferreted |
out and see that the guilty parties |
are punished to the fullest, extent Of
the law.

SOCIALIST TROUBLE.

Several Trade Unions Will Pull OF
From the Bosses.
New York, March 24.-The World
this morning says:
There is serious break in the
ranks of the Socialists. More than
six thousand members have rebelled
against what they term dictatorship,
and the detection threatens to spread.
Up to date the dissatisfied members
have neglected the platform of the So
cialist Labor party, but the feeling is
so high that no one can foretell what
the end will be.
Four strong union organizations
have bolted from the Socialist Trade
and Labor alliance. They are the Chill
dren's Jacket Makers union, the Shirt
Makers union, the Knee Pants Max
ers' union and the Passementrie Max
ers' union. These unions have a men,
bership of more than 5000.
''The real trouble seems to be a de-
termination on the part of the ma
chine bosses to make political use Of
the trade unions. The rebels state
that the bosses practically dictate to
the union what shall be done. As
said, these boilers are not ready to
renounce their socialistic principles
but they declare that they will join
the American Federation of Labor
which is a nOn-partisan body"

To Retaliate Against Our Tariff Meas
ures.
Montreal, March 24.-The Patrie, the
leading French Canadian paper Of
Canada, which is owned by J. L.
Tarte, minister Of public works for the
Dominion, and leading member of the
Laurier cabinet, publish a very strong
article on the new American tariff in
which it declares the tariff constitutes
a Chinese wall against Canada, and
that If the Americans close their doors
in this way, Canada will have to take
her own part. Instead of driving
Canadians to seek political union, as
some hope,it will create resistance, and
make Canadians feel that, while small
in numbers, they are able to take care
of themselves.
The hope is also expressed that the
government will act with firmness in
Canada's interest. 1t is believed the
article foreshadows a retaliation pol
icy on the part Of Canada towards the
states.
