Doctor and School Principal Explain, While the Father Is Thinking of Brlimlnx Suit.

Edmund Wolsieffer, of 1630 Venango street, the well-known musician, is much agitated over events which preceded the death of his son Carl, aged ten, and upon which" he will endeavor to have a teacher dismissed from the public schools, and will possibly bring, suit against the city. The lad was a pupil in the Kenderton school, Fifteenth street and Ontario avenue. On Thursday, the 14th inst, he went the school as usual, and in the afternoon, becoming disorderly, was told to leave the room and stand in the halL The boy stood there for about fifteen minutes and suffered a severe chilL alter which he returned to his class room. On reaching home he was taken sick. The case soon developed into diphtheria, and on Monday afternoon the patient died.

The father does not claim that the disease was caused by the exposure, but thinks that it was hastened and made malignant by it. Dr. Lyman, of Eighteenth and Columbia avenue, who was called in, says that the seeds of diphtheria had. no .3 c-p 5 ET 2 Clubs. o1 S- 2.2 Frankfoid I I I 1 I 6 Taconv 1 0 1 11 1 5 0 0 0 1 1 2 Athletics ,0 0 0 1 1 1 3" North End 0 0 0 0..

Will Be Referred to a Committee Without Discussion Other Questions In Both Branches. Washington, Jan. 24. The course of proceedings in Congress during the ninth week of the session depends largely upon the manner in which the President's message and the Chilean correspondence are received.

The probabilities however, are strongly against the matter being precipitately taken up for consideration by either' branch of the national Legislature, or any discussion of the subject immediately upon the receipt of the President's message. The usual formal course doubtless will be followed in each House of Congress by referring the message and the accompanying correspondence to the appropriate committees. Pending consideration in committee the message and correspondence will be printed. against unusual haste. After members have thus had an opportunity to inform themselves from the official history of the trouble some of them may desire to be heard on the floor; but the disposition of the most influential men in the Senate and in the House is adverse to any unusual haste in the consideration of the sub ject It is expected that the promised message of the President and all the correspondence relating to our trouble with Chile will be sent to Congress tomorrow.

Such is the intention of the Executive this evening, and, unless the case should suddenly assume some new phase requiring an addition to the mes sage, it will be laid before both Houses and read in both of them to-morrow alternoen. "WHAT THE SENATE WILL DO. In the Senate the bill reported by the joint Committee on Printing, proposing an extensive revision 01 the present sys tem 01 printing and distributing public documents, is the special order for to morrow. In view of the tact that the bill was killed in the House during the past week the Senate will probably set aside the special order and take up the well-known Weil and La Abra claims, which were under consideration when the Senate last adjourned. It is the purpose of the friends of these claims to keep them steadily before the Senate until a vote is reached upon the bill of which they are the sub ject matter.

lhe printing bill, it is thought, will be taken up later in the week and some time may be devoted to public building bills ana other measures ot a local character and to the consideration of Presi dential nominations in executive ses sion. THE HOUSE CODE OF RULES. The newly-reported code of rules for the House of Representatives, during the Fifty-second Congress, will be the principal topic of discussion in the House during the week unless a debate on the Chilean controversy should be unexpectedly precipitated. Owing to the political issues which may be reviewed in this anticipated lively debate over the' rules, it cannot be predicted how long a time will intervene between the taking up and the adoption of the new code. The Appropriations Committee is preparing an Urgency Deficiency bill to continue the work of the Census Bureau, and it will probably be ready for consideration in the House during the week.

The Military Affairs Committee is in session almost every day on the Array Appropriation bill or the Military Academy Appropriation bill, and within the next ten days one of these measures is expected to be on the calender ready for consideration at the will of the House. Scarlet Fever at Carlisle. Carlisle, Jan. 24. Scarlet fever has broken out at Carlisle and there are grave fears that it will become epidemic The preparatory department at Metzgar Female Seminary is closed on account oflhe presence of the disease, and the pupils of the Indian School are not allowed to come into town for fear of the contagion.

JOTTINGS ABOUT THE CITY. The Coroner was notified of the sudden death of a child ot Mrs. Kelly, of the rear of 622 New Market street. There was good skating yesterday on both ponds in the Park, and also on the Knickerbocker ice pond at George's Hill. Over 2000 persons enjoyed the pastime.

They will be given a hearing by Magistrate Kane. Don't Belay trying Cottolene, the new, popular, successful vegetable Lard. Don't wait for your neighbor to tell you about it.

We are to see that the efforts of The Philadelphia Inquirer on behalf of the organization of a strong Pennsylvania State League are likely to be successful.

A splendid State League circuit coulc be made up for that State by clubs representing Harrisburg, Lebanon, ranton, Allentown, Wilkes-barre and Heading, all of which cities have in thepast liberally Supported good teams. We hope Mr. Diddlebock will succeed in his plan of a strong State League. There is longer a necessity for a quartette of pitchers in a first-class team, while a trio af catchers is now the extreme limit; in fact two good men as regular catc iers, with a fielder that can be utilized in an emergency are quite sufficient. Economy is the order of the day, and th re is now no need of such a large force of players on a club's payroll as there has been for the past two years.

Just bear in mind the fact that three pitche -s and two catchers were sufficient to win the League pennant in 1891, and that the clubs which failed to take the-leat, carried the largest list of battery play srs. Not a single game of the League schedule for 1892 will be scheduled tor Sunday. A clubs desirous of playing Sunday ganses will be given the option to change their regular schedule dates to Sunday, but the schedule itself will be made out on Iy for week-day games. The League clu which will not play Sun day games this year are the Boston, New York and FUladelphia clubs in thefast, and the Chicago and Cleveland in the West. It is uncertain about llrooklvn in the East and Pittsburg in the West.

Of course none of the Eastern clubs of the League will play Sunday games at home, but Brooklyn, Washington and Baltimore ill play them out est. At Cincinnati, the Law and Order League is taking measures to stop bunday ball playing there this summer, iut Sunday games will be a special leature at Louis and Lmisville. IGNORING A. A. U.

He Lrw a Salary But Mever Chopped Off a Head. Special Cable to the New York Herald and published simultaneously in The Inquirer. Brussels, Jan. 24. Boutquin, the public executioner, died to-day of influenza.

Owing to the refusal of the present King to ever sanction a capital execution, Boutquin had never chopped off anybody's head His sole official duty consisted in planting a pole in front of the town hall from time to time, and placing on it a placard announcing that capital sentence had been pronounced against some criminal, which was never carried out. For this sinecure he received 3000 francs annually, and lived in peace cul tivating cabbages. Although it is probable that the death penalty will never be carried out, it is likely the same fiction will be kept up. The papers, suggest that the salary of this sinecure might well be given to some poor poet as an encouragement to literature. THE POPE A VERY SICK MAN.

He Has Senile Bronchitis Aesravated by the Grip. Special Cable to the New York rieraW anil published simultaneously in The Inociber. sadors at the Vatican, it appears that the Pope is sick with senile bronchitis, aggravated by influenza. His physicians say that his condition is serious because he will not let himself be bled, does not go to bed on account of difh-. culty in breathing, and passes the night in an easy-chair a.

dangerous practice in view of the defective heating apparatus of the Vatican. The Pope, who is very clear-headed, is willing to receive the cardinals on duty, and reads the newspapers, showing him self aflected by the news about himself. HAPPY GLADSTO NIANS. Glorying: Over the Great Victory of Saturday. London, Jan.

24. The Gladstonians are very happy to-day over the results of the electiou'yesterday in the Rossen-dale division of Lancashire. The vacancy was caused by the elevation of the Marquis of Hartington to the Dukedom of Devonshire and the contest resulted in the election of Mr. Madden, the Gladstouian candidate.

Madden's majority thus being 1225. At the recent election Lord Hartington had a majority of 1450 over his Gladstonian opponents. The result of the election is a severe loss to the government and is thought to be the death blow of the Lit-eral Unionist party. TROOPS TO TAKETHE OATH.

Moncure D. Conway Lectures Before the Ethical Society. Before the Ethical Soqiety in St. George's Hall yesterday morning Mon- cure D. Conway delivered an address on the life of Thomas Paine.

He touched chiefly on the incidents that brought Paine before the eyes of the nation during the war for Independence and spoke in praise of his character as a man and a patriot. Paine's career in France, during which he was unjustly confined for eleven months in rison through the machinations of Mr Vis, the American Minister, was given at length by the lecturer, who concluded by" declaring that Paine did not recant before his death.

It Bright Prospects of Caring the Site of the Meeting. For TWO BODIES INTERESTED Councils and the Fairmount Park Art Commission May Join Hands and a Public Square, Fittingly Marked With Monuments, May Result. Open up a new public square covering the grounds of Pen n's treaty with the Indians, and erect there a bronze group, fittingly to commemorate this wonderful lesson of Philadelphia's history.

That is the latest hint for a grand improvement of this city which has taken happy effect in the favor of those to whom it has already been broached. It touches two bodies Councils and the Fairmount Park Art Association and needs onlytheir co-operation to give the idea of each body double its original force. At the last annual meeting of the Park Art Association a desire to place representative American groups in Fairmount Park" was expressed by a number of members, and among the subjects spoken of the Penn treaty was mentioned. Since Chairman Meehan's committee of Councils has been very active in the movement, which has been almost Mr. Meehan's life work, of putting new public squares on the city plans, ior greater beauty and for more air and recreation for the masses of working people in their very homes.

TWO BODIES INTERESTED. It occurred to The Inquirer that the art people and the movers for new public squares ought to be made aware of each others' that the idea of a memorial group of Penn and the Indians ought to be joined with the idea of 1 1. 1 1 opening a to be erected on the spot where history was made. A few days ago this thought was mentioned to John Sartain, the veteran artist who presided at the annual meeting of the Art Association. Mr.

Sartain states that the more he thinks about 'it the more he leels that it would be a grand thing to do. Accordingly he will lay the subiect before the art committee ol the association at the next meeting. lesterday, when the subject was mentioned to Chairman Meehan, he was delighted with the thought. It happens that his committee on Saturday visited the Penn treaty grounds and were unanimously in favor of opening a new plot' there. The thought that the Fairmount Park Art Association might couple their project of a memorial group with the report of his committee gave him double hope of carrying the project through Councils.

"But the Art Association might think that their group would not be appreciated over in Kensington, and might think it would only be properly appreciated in the Park," suggested Mr. Meehan. The favorable comment of Mr. Sartain was then repeated to him, and Mr. Meehan felt that the prospect was in every way encouraging.

The other members of the committee are Messrs. Charles Roberts, Thomas Wagner, Nathan Lewis and George W. Kendrick. THE PENN TREATY GROUNDS. The Penn treaty grounds are a wharf property which is a scene of dirt, old carts, stray chickens, broken-down fences, a shanty or two, a small brick building, and, most conspicuous of all, a sign reading: "For Rent or Sale.

Apply John K. Van Dusen." It is located at Beach and Hanover streets. The little treaty monument, five feet high or less, stands on the Van Dusen property in a corner nearest, to Neafie Levy's shipyard. It was erected by the Penn Society in 1821, and probably represented a bigger financial undertaking than a 1200,000 park and bronze group would be now. Three wharf properties would have to be bought Van Dusen's, Harry Bumm's and Henry Plotz's, next to the latter of which is the width of Hanover street down to the river, which belongs to the city.

The whole would make a square of little less than the usual size. The little statue has been so often moved about over the plot that the site of the great elm tree has been lost, so that the centre would as accurately memorialize the treaty as it is possible to do. lhe onlvdisadvantages presented from the artistic point of view are the nnat- tractiveness of the neighborhood, the Beach street railroad tracks and tumbledown buildings in the neighborhood beyond. But the fitness of a memorial group on the scene of the event, and the advantages ot carrying the great lesson of history ennobled by art into the hearts and homes of toiling masses of Kensington, mav prove to be over whelming advantages. WATER METERS IN E0USES.

COUNCILMAN MEEHAN TTRGE3 OFFICIAL COXSIDEUATION. People Are Daily Uslutr Up In Two Days as Much Water as Would Last Six Days. Water meters to be introduced in Philadelphia's 150,000 or more houses. That is the thought of energetic Coun cilman Thomas Meehan, of German town. Not that he is committed to the proposition, but he wishes it to be given thorough official consideration.

To that end he will introduce in Councils on Thursday a resolution, asking the Director of Public Works to furnish information touching the advisability of put ting water meters in awemngs, tne same as gas meters. To save the present enormous waste of public water is Jur. jueenan's principal motive. He calls attention to the fact that the city actually has six days water supply, but owing to general wasteful ness it would only last about'two days. The past cnincuity 01 inventing durable water meter, ne trunks, may have been overcome by the cheapening 01 aluminum from or a pound, as it was a lew years ago, to 00 cents pound to-day.

Rust is the trouble with water meters in general. The suffirestion of Mr. Meehan looks to the possibility of a complete revolution in the Water Bureau. This move will be a subject of the most general and par ticular interest to the people. 10 tne city it would mean apparently a saving ot about two-thirds ot tne present cost of the water supply.

To the householders, it is claimed, it would mean adjustment of water rent on a more nearly proportionate basis. NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE.

The report that the Pope has sent a letter to Cardinal Richard advising the adhesion of tbe Church to the Republic it denied. to It cost just 130,000 to secure base-ball peace, and now that the lines as contemplated by the Indianapollia conference are laid down, the magnates believe that it was a profitable investment and that the money was well spent All the magnates are elated over the prospects for the coming season, and they calculate to get some of the money back they have lost in the last two years. The twelve-club league expects to save thousands of dollars in salaries, and with the increased patronage which loss of opposition will bring, the stockholders will reap a rich harvest. Base ball stock is now gilt-edged, but how long it will remain so is a problem which it will take at least one year to solve. Talking of the peace settlement and of the new order of things President F.

DeH. Robison, of the Cleveland Club, says: "Many people seem to think that the lieague bought peace dearly in paying 130,000 for it, but according to my way of figuring the price was cheap. We Bhall save nearly that during the next lew years in salaries, with unhealthy competition removed, and besides the public will pay the money by increased patronage at the games. The price comes from the public pocket after all. Had peace not been declared anyone could have had my base ball holdings at fifteen cents on the dollar." The Eastern League is to be organized at once, but whether clubs will be located in this city or New York has not been determined.

Speaking of the outlook and the plan of organization, President C. D. White, said: The situation is rosy, and the outlook is hopeful. The columns written about the Central League were a useless waste of ink and paper. There'll be two important minor leagrues this vear-kme in the est-ern section and the other in the Eastern portion ot this territory.

The Eastern League which I propose, and for which I have the best assurances, includes these cities: Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, New York, Newark and Philadelphia. This will be one of the most prosperous seasons for all parties concerned yet encountered in the history of the national game. The utmost friendliness exists between all parties, and two large eight-club minor leagues can be formed without en-roaching upon the territorial rights of the big twelve-club League. There is absolutely no donbt of the success of our contemplated league. We will adopt the plan of the Western Association: there will be two series.

The salary limit will be placed at $12,000 and will be rigidly enforced. Two hundred dollars a month is Sufficient for any minor league player, and this appears to be the consensus of opinion among all magnates. Then, with the addition of New York and Philadelphia, we are reasonably sure of having a successful season. Newark is very anxious to secure a franchise and that city will doubtless be included. A number of capitalists are fairly aching to place a second club in Jt'nilaaeiphia.

The minority stockholders of the old Athletic Club, who still hold the charter and the name, think they could control an Eastern Association club in the Quaker Citv. The opening of the spring meeting of the South Jersey Jockey Club is an event which the local sports have been looking forward" to with great expectations, and with favorable weather there will bean immense crowd at the Gloucester track to-day. The improvements made since the w-inter meeting have already been noted by The Inquirer, and there will be no change in the official Btaff. Presiding Judge Nelson will be the only absentee when the bell rings to-day. Judge Nelson is just convalescing from, a serious illness, and his physicians have forbid den him to go out until he is thoroughly recovered.

Judge Bowie will act as presiding judge during Captain Nelson's absence, and the other position in the stand will be taken by Mr. James Watson, who is qualified in gvery way and whose judgment has been tested on other tracks. There are six-races on the opening card and the purses aggregate lhe fields are large and the entries are from the best classes. Manv of the horses have not started since November, but all are said to be Vnp" to a race. There is likely to be some indiscriminate plunging at the start of the meeting, but those of good iudsrmens will do little betting until they have some show of studying the form of the animals.

General athletics are booming at the University ot Pennsylvania, and the prospects are bright in all the depart inents except that of rowing. It is said to be doubtful if the University will have a crew this year, owing to the shortness of funds which are required lor training expenses and a new boat. The undergraduates have been asked to subscribe foOO, and if the money is iorthconiinz a new racing shell will be ordered. An effort is being made to induce Captain "Bob Cook to take charge of the crew, and if that is successful the University students will have cause lor congratulation. Trainer Georere D.

Penn sylvania has been Invited to join the Intercollegiate Lacrosse which Lehigh, Johns Hopkins University and Stevens Institute are now members. There are a number ot good rs now at the University, and a strong team can be placed in the field. The pugilistic stars are widely scat tered this week. Sullivan is way out and Slavin in St.

Louis, Peter Jackson in New York, Cor- bett in Boston and Peter Maliei in Williamsburg. Maher has begun training for his fight with Fitzsiminons and is taking light exercise on- the road. The Irish champion and Billy Madden will leave for New Orleans on Sunday next. Maher will probably train at Bay St. Louis.

Slavin can't get backing in either England or Australia to tight Sullivan, but he has at last found a friend in Tom Allen, the ex-prize fighter, who is now in St. Louis. Allen says: "I would like to see Slavin have a go with Sullivan, because I believe that the Australian could whip the Boston boy. This talk about Slavin not being able to get backing is all bosh. Frederick Watkins, the gentleman who always backed me in my fights, will put up any amount from 2500 to 5000, and I would do likewise, and at least 525,000 can be raised here by the big Australian." Now if Allen will put up his stuff there will probably be a fight.

The teacher's side of the question wras last night ventilated by her mother, who resides with her daughters, on Eighteenth street, above Venango. She said tBat the boy had been inattentive, and as a punishment was ordered to "leave the room until he thought he could behave himself." Such a command meant that the boy could either report to the principal or stand in the hall until he felt that he would maintain order on his return to the class. He chose standing in the hall, and after staying out for probably fifteen minutes went back without saying a word, evidently thinking that he could behave himself.

It was said that it would have been almost impossible for the boy to have taken cold in the'hall, as the day was one of the mildest of the season. Principal John P. Garber, of the school, speaks of the teacher as a conscientious woman, and one of the most careful instructors under him. He regrets very much that anything of the sort shoukl have occurred, but does not think she is in any way responsible for young Wolsieffer's death. THE FATHER'S DETERMINATION.

Mr. Wolseiffer says that he will, at any rate, make strenuous efforts to have the teacher removed. If he finds, through the advice of his counsel, that he has good grounds for a suit against the city, one will be instituted as soon as possible. His household has been broken up, as' his wife will not go back to the scene of her bereave ment. He has been compelled to change his home, and his wife's health has been seriously injured.

He has written to Principal Garber and asked an explanation of the matter, and feels very much incensed at not having received any reply. Mr. Garber said he had answered, but sent the letter to Mr. Wolsieffer's old home, on Venango street, so that word had not reached him. TO DEMAND FREE SILVER.

NEVADA TnitEATEXS TO MAKE A BOLT ON THE ISSUE. General Powniuar Says the Political Managers Will Cut Both. Party Candidates If Necessary. General C. Powning, one of the leading citizens and influential political lactors of the State of Nevada, who has just come East with Senator Jones, is at the Continental Hotel in this city.

General Powning, last night, in discus sing the political situation of the Pacific Coast, particularly with reference to the silver issue, made the somewhat re markable announcement that political managers of both parties of his State would probably unite on a combination electoral ticket for a President in favor of free silver irrespective of political affiliations. FREE SILVER EVERYTHING. "The sentiment of the people in said Urenerai drowning, "is so strongly in favor of free silver this cam paign that tliev will support, irrespec tive of party, no man tor President who is not 'in favor of free and unlimited coinage of silver. If the two great parties should name candidates hostile to this idea it is contemplated to rurr an independent combination electoral ticket, pledged to support only a man friendly to the silver interest, and if neither is friendly to this interest neither will receive the votes ot the ticket. AX EJJTERIXG WEDGE.

"This step will be a wedge which will open the way tor California, Colorado, Montana, Idaho and South Dakota to follow eventually in the same line in order to seenro recognition. "The full recognition of silver as a circulating medium must and will come in time," continued General Powning. "The people must have it because it is a necessity. It is a fact that there is less gold in this country now than twenty-five years ago, and in the face of this the and manufactures are annually absorbing a greater amount, while the natural supply is diminishing. This is an evil in itself sufficient to command a remedy, but it is being largely aggravated by the growth and expansion of the country; for it is true that as the population grows the circulating medium must be increased in a corresponding degree, and silver or paper must be take a up when gold is not available.

THE GOLD PRODUCTION. "Free silver means the development of many of the countless resources of the Pacific States, and incidentally an in crease in the production of gold because one half of what would be uncovered in the search for silver, which would be greatly stimulated by proper legislation, would be gold, so that the natural output of bullion, both gold and silver, in the State of Nevada would be $40,000,000 a year instead of 10,000,000 as at pres ent."
