They thought they might develop strength enough to snub him by sending it to the Banking and Currency Committee, though there is alio evidence that this body is less friendly to silver than the Coinage Committee. The decided vote by which their prcposition was negatived was significant of the jealousy with which the opponents of the Wall street policy watch every move of the enemy. The Bland resolution calls on the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to whether any arrangement was effected by the Treasury Department with the Clearing-House Committee of New York to prevent the circulation of silver, and if so by what authority of law that department assumes to virtually suspend the coinage of silver by boarding tho money in the Treasury. It also calls tor information as to the amount of silver dollars in the Treasury unrepresented by outstanding certidcates the 4th of March last, and what is the amount today; also, what amount of the interest-bearing debt is now subject to call, and wbat policy is to be pursued in the payment of silver thereon and on other dues.

Archbishops Williams, Gibbons, and Corrigan were in these respects ideals of his golinesst but Archbishop Williams is the lavorit or the Holy Father." The letter goes on to say: "Leo XIII, belicalst it incumbent on him, not only in recognition of the strong ecclesiastical Individuality possessed by each of these Bishops, but as a token of the respect and esteem he bolds for your country, to honor all three In a manner satisfactory. Archbishops Williams and Gibbons will be elevated to the Cardinalate, and some time after the primacy will be transferred from Baltimore- to New York. Archbishop Corrigan will then be constituted primate. There is no precedent for this. but in the case of America there is no objection.

The primacy belongs to the see, and that can be transferred. In the individual the Cardinalate reposes. The Propaganda believes the United States will prove to be the church's greatest missionary field in the near future, and his Holliess considers the prosperity and growth of that country deserving of the honor." Another letter from Rome intimates Bishop McNulty of Meath, lreland, Is to be created a Cardinal. LOCAL POLITICS. THE CLERKS OF THE ELECTION COMMISSION ABOUT THROUGH WITH THEM WORK POLLING-PLACESDEMOCRATIC CITY CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

AU the emp1oy6s of the Election Commissioners have been laid off with the exception of the Deputy Commissioner. The polling-places In the new districts havmg been located there is no more work for them. The polling-places were submitted to the board yesterday. There were but few objections. Representatives of the First, Sixth, Seventh, Fourteenth, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Wards put in an appearance and objected to eignt or ten pollinZplaces.

The Commissioners held a prolonged session examining the work ot the canvaSsers and the objections. Those places to which objection has been wads were referred to the three will investigate them today and report to the commission. Tao list will be open to inspection and to objections until Wednesday at 3 p. m. Euless objections are made up to that time the list will stand approved as it was made up by the clerk.

Two or three voters from the Fourth Precinct of tne Town of Lake objected to the change in the polling-place from the town-ball to Halsted street, which had been made at the suggestion of County-Commissioner J. J. McCarthy. The objectors were too late for any further changes. An estimate of expenses ha been sent to the County Board for an appropriation.

The items are the compensation of the judges and clerks at the coming fall election, amounting to something over 122,000. and the salaries of the Coinmissionercand chief deputy, amounting to 25,500. The share of the Town of Lake has not yet teen settled. The authorities have declared themselves ready to pay the judges and clerks and the compensation Of the men who have been engaged in districting the town. The Commissioners think they cannot tax the town with the expenses for stationery, but will have to furnish it themselves.

Referring to a rumor that the Grant and La Salle Clubs were going to be consolidated, a prominent member of the former said yesterday there was no more possibility of unitinst the two than there was of mixing (Aland water. The Grant Club is an anti-machine organization. Whenever a person is proposed for admittance the first question is: "Is be a machine-man?" If he is he cannot be admitted. It is distinctly understood that the Grant Club is a political club. The La Salle Club was started ostensibly for social purposes.

But. as a matter of feet, the two clubs represent the two Republican sets in the Third Congressional District. Tne Grant Club men deny that they favor any particular man or were organized to support any particular man. They fight for reform" and not for or against any man. If they support Moran and the La Salle Club supports Davis that is, perhaps, incidental to the object of their organization, nut did not originally enter their intentions.

One thing is certain, the "reformers" have the avowed intention of lighting Davis and or getting their share in the offices next fall and this coming spring. They say the turkey shall be divided In the middle, and the Congressional question forms no part of the turkey. The "reformers" want that in addition to their half of the turkey. Attempts have been made to reconcile the two sets, but Ifp to the present each side is stubboria; The Grant Cub men have been called politicians out of office, but their object, as they define it is simply "reform" and opposition to the "machine." The Democratic City Central Committee met last night. Frank Baker in the chair, and adopted resolutions of regret at the death of Michael Powers, member for the Sixth Ward.

Richard Grant was appointed in his place. They discussed in executive session the calling of primaries and the action of the Curtis law upon them. Nobody anew just what tho law was, and the matter was dropped, as it was thought too early the campaign to take any action. The committee had grievances against the Election Commission. But in order to avoid notoriety it was resolved that the members should go to the comtnssion simply as individuals and not in their capacity as members of the committee.

They should get the citizens of their ward together and submit names to the commission for the selection of judges and clerks. The members of the committee apparently considered the action of the County Central Committee in taking action on this matter as a piece of uncalled-for interference with their duties, the Election Commission being distinctly a city commission. Messrs. Niehotf, Fitzsimmons, Baker, and Murphy were added to a committee appointed at the last meeting to draft a constitution. The Central Committee has been acting without any constitution except an old one adopted a few years ago.

which no one seemed to know anything about. The committee originally consisted or Messrs. Chase, Clingen. and McAndrews. The Second Ward Republican Club held a meeting at No.

488 State street last night for the purpose or electmg officers. W. C. Smith was elected President and R. C.

Waring Secretary of the organization. A Vice-President is usually chosen from each precinct in the ward, tut, owing to the fact that the boundaries of tne various new precincts in the ward have not yet been defined, the election of these officers was postponed until the next regular meeting. The Most-Rev. James Gibbons, Archbishop Of Baltiruore and PrInalt of the Church of America, was born of Irish parentage in the City of Baltimore July 23, 1834, and was baptised in the cathedral of that city, which is. and during his lifetime has so often been.

the scene of his labors. At a very early age he waa conveyed by his father to Ireland, where he received the rudiments of an education and training destined afterward to elevate him to his present eminent position. Returning to his native land years after, he concluded his studies under the care of the Sulpicians at Charles' College and St. Mary's Seminary, Maryland. graduating with honor at that the year 1857, having pursued a thorough col :1 theology and lphilosophy, which conciudedi'ith his ordination as priest at St- Mary's at the hands the late Most Rev.

The large panorama, "The Battle of Gettysburg," owned by Knight Brown of Chicago, was burned in the building.

Loss on the building $3,000, and on the picture $10,000. Origin of the fire unknown. The Wisconsin Congressmen who took the remains of Congressman Rankin to Manitowoc for burial have returned. They say candidates for Rankin's shoes are as thick as blackberries in the lake-shore woods. Two months ago Tom Rudd, a Green Bay lawyer, openly avowed his intention to run, and Congressman Rankin spent the last weeks of his life in setting up the pins to beat Hudd.

Now there is such a large field for Hudd to contend with that his defeat is considered certain. Fred Horn of Cedarburg, formerly Speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, is a candidate. Judge Elwell of Sheboygan is in the field, and Albert Gray of Fort Howard, Chairman Walker of the State Committee, and Ed Blake ot Port Washington are all out looking for lightning. Besides these, Joe Vilas of Manitowoc, cousin of the Postmaster-General, is a candidate. The choice of the late Congressman Rankin among these is a secret.

The choice of Gen. Bragg, at present the only Democrat from the Badger State, is Mr. Blake, who is a well-to-do tuerchant and for tour years past a member of the upper branch of the State Legislature. Gen. Bragg is, however, ready to help anybody who can beat Hued.

One significant indication is the tact that Postmaster-Generai Vilas is maaing appointments in Rankin's district exactly in compliance with the dead man' a wishes, althougit in some cases he is putting in men who are not his own preference. This is spoken of Us the result of an understanding between Vilaa and Rankle, the result of which will be the (section of Vilas of Manitowoc to Congress and the selection of Ranklus old Political friends to the offices. The Postmaster-General today appointee a Postmaster at Cedarburg. Fred Horn's home, in accordance with ibis understandsmr, and a dozen more will be aimointed tomorrow in utter district on the same plan. The Senate Is going- to let the public into Its controversy with the President.

Almost the last step was taken this afternoon towards throwing the doors of the executive session open. Senator Butler's objection to the resolution of Senator Edmunds directiog the Judiciary Committee to report back on Attorney-General Garland's letter in open session was simply the chronic Senatorial habit of never letting anything happen today that can be staved off until tomorrow. Despite their talk the Democrats den't want open sessions. They don't want the exposures that will follow when confirmations and reiections are discussed with reference to the causes in the backgrounil. Where there has been double-dealing, and the cases of this kind are many, the consequences are sure to be unpleasant.

The Republicans don't want to hurt their brother Democrats. If it were not thought the best way to unmask the President Senatorial courtesy would assuredly have devised some other course But the atmosphere of cant and hypocrisy about the Administration has become so thick that heroic measures were necessary to dissipate it. The doors onened to hear the discussion on the Attorney-General's letter little doubt ia expressed that they will be kept open till other phases of the st rugtzle are oltened up. The Republican Senators who have felt the Public pulse most carerony believe they will Lott sustained in the position that no otheer in the Republic is bikti enough to remove officiate under a stigma end leave them without the chance or vindicating then' characters. There was sharp task by some of toe Senators about the impropriety of air.

Garland's action in giving out his letter for publication before it was transmitted to the Senate. There is not much tola tonight on the situation because the develonments have been discounted. Senator Ingalls of Kansas, in an interview this morning, renews the assertion, alluded, to in these dispatches weeks ago, that in case of the tailure of the Senate to confirm the appointees the suspended officials will resume the duties of their office when the Senate adjourns. A Washington special to the New York Sun on the telef.hone scandal says: "It is most unfortunate for the Administration that an exposure of private interests in a speculative scheme should more or less compromise two members of the Cabinet, the Solicitor-General of the Iftlited States, the Commassioaer of Railroads, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, the Chief Clerk of the Indian Office, and an Indian Inspector, to say nothing of several Senators and several ex-tnetnbers of Congress. all Democrats.

It is not charged that any of the Parties implicated acted corruptly, or that they Intended to commit fraud, but the whole business from the beginning, when the principals were Senators and Representatives, is tainted with a dark suspicion, which follows them now Into high office. The Administration suffers seriously from this cause. The people de-mended reform. They know that the presence of Mr. Garland and Mr.

Lamar in the Cabinet, and of Gen. Johnston, Mr. Goode, Mr, Atkins, Upshur, and Mr. Armstrong in office Is a positive injury to the Deinocratie party. Tile New York Times says this morning, editorially: Mr.

Garland and Senator Harris can dO something to clear themseives by publicly burning their Pan-Electrie sto2k. But a Congressional vote of censure would add a deserved arid wholesome public rebuke to the prickings of their private ST. Pere, Feb. 1.eSpec1al.1The St. Paul Ice Carnival season was opened today.

A more propitious introduction could not have been wfshed for. The weather is clear, with the temperature at 6 -o'clock tonight Just at zero. The finishing touches to the ice palace were given this afternoon. The palace stands at the foot of Minnesota street and the bluffs, about fifteen blocks from the depot. The picture presented is a splendid one, although the effect is marred by a profusion of fencing of new boards and the monopolizing of the street on both sides for some distance by temporary beer saloons and restaurants.

Many of these have veneered their txterlor, with cakes of ice. But the impression of a miniature ice palace surmounted by a sign of Milwaukee beer is not of the pleasantest. The city is profusely decorated and the residents are carriel away with enthueiasm over toboggane and winter clubs. The official record gives six snow-shoe clubs, six skating, forty-seven toboggan, and a number of organizations devoted to curlimr, shooting, and otber seasonable sports, the total membership being placed at 5,000. The young ladies are specially interested in tobogganing and wear their blanket uniforms la ptivate and public.

The men wear their uniforms at home and to business, it being a frequent sight today to witness clerks at their desks and salesmen at their counters in their carnival suit. In the decoration of the city it Is said that the display bas never been equaled except at the time of the 'Willard celebration, when the Northern Pacific Railroad was opened. Flags aed evergreens are principally used. Thirst and Minnesota streets are literally banked by banners and garlands. In Bridge square a mammoth pedestal of ice forty feet In bight has been erected.

and upon this, one-half larger than life, there will be Sculptured in the same clear material as the base an Indian and a buffalo In combat. This will be finished tomorrow. At the corners of East Third and Cedar, East Fourth and Sibley, and East Seventh and Minnesota streets the Carnival Association has erected large and elegant arches of evergreens. while various ice statues, thee-esult of individual enterprise, are to be Leen here and there about the city. The great feature of today's opening was the parade this evening and format opening of the palace.

The turnout was a ereat one and the scene brilliant Block, and houses along the route were illuminated, and fireworks were freely burned. The various clubs carried torches, and the gay colors of their uniforms were brought out In beautifui contrast The ice palace was lit by electric lights and colored fires. The parade began at 8 o'clock, and was succeeded at 9 o'clock by the exercises at the palace, consisting of short speeches by Mayor Rice. George R. Finch, President of the Ice-Palace Association, and one or two others.

The jam by the crowd was tremendous, the street and grounds about the palace being packed solid. A great many strangers are In the city, incoming trains from all directions this afternoon being loaded. Two evenings have been especially set apart for the storming and repulse of the castle, when the forces engaged will fire rockets and roman-candles with lavish bands. On other evenings the palace and grounds will be illuminated with colored lights and various kinds of fireworks. For the use of the attacking and besieging forces the association has procured 20,000 ten-ball roman candies.

This, however, is but a small portion of the fireworks that will be provided. The completion of the street decoration will not be reached before Wednesday. A number of novel designs are being executed on Wabansia street. The business houses, with some reward for the fitness of things, are mostly making their decorations of ice. In front of Donnelly's is an ice arch about twenty feet high and about fifteen feet wide.

Its effectiveness is increased by flags of different colors, which are susPended from it. Across the street, in front of Booth's, is an ice statue. which is not yet completed, but which already 'splays artistic harialing. The ice is as pure and clear as plate-glass, and it represents a novel and beautiful appearance. Mr.

Lauer has a statue formed of a combination of snow and ice which is also unique and effective. It was first fashioned of snow and afterward sprinkled with water. In front of the American House is a similar statue, but a different subject. At the Market Hotel an ice-wall of a very clever design has been constructed, inclosing the porch. On East Third street a number of firms have combined and erected ice columns, which are connected by linea from which varicolored flags wilt be suspended.

The Ryan fruit store has made a display after a similar design. All over the business portion of the city ice decorations have been commenced, but tne work has not pro-greased far enough yet to display the idea of the builders. Each one seems bent on working up an original and unique design, and there is much friendly rivalry in this direction. A number of houses worked the greater part of yestereay in order to complete their decorations, and the workmen were constantly surrounded by a large number of sight-seers. Everybody talked about the carnival.

No other subject was Introduced, and bad it been no one would have paid the least attention to It. None of the arches across the streets are luny completed. The one at Third and cedar is ished except the lighting apparatus. Work was carried on all day yesterday, it baying been found that if the first plans were followed the gas-pipe would come in contact with the telegraph-wires. and it was therefore necessary to make a change.

There will be no difficulty in completing the arch today. Little remains to be done on the arch at seventh and Minnesota streets. The gas-pipes are partially In position, and a few hours' work only remains to be done. The arch at Fourth and Sibley is the most backward. great difficulty bas been experiences in securing sufficient evergreens, and it is therefore only partially covered.

Tomorrow the tobogganslides and ice trotting races will be opened and the big ice statue in Bridge Square unveiled, with a promenade concert at Carnival-Bali in the evening. 0 0 rl The Most Bev.

The bill has been under debate for a week and a number of important amendments have been made; but the essential pro-Visions in regard to the Indians themselves remain untouched. Ten million acres of these lands in retold numbers become part of the pubile domain of the United States Open to settlement by homestead entry, and the Sioux are to be pertnitted to take lande in severalty, which after a twenty-live years' trusteeship may become theirs in tee.

If any hostility is developed against tile measure in the House it is expected to come from thu railroads, but tbo Dakota men who flare 80 tided the House say it will pass there promptly. IThe Pierre (lak.) correspondent of Tip: Thin-IN telegraphs: A telegram Gov. N. U. Ordway was received bore this afternoon announcing the passago by the Senate ol the Dawes bill previding for Lila opening of the fsiout iteservalien.

It created great antbusiasiu among the Assuralie e. were also received of speedy and favorshJe action in the liouie on the bill. By their persistent laber in behait of this measure Mayor McClure and Gov. tard way itsye won the esteem of every one of our Senator Van Wyck has been accused so often of agreeing with Land-Commissioner Sparks anif upholding the fismous rulings, some of which have bad to be moditied, that he has finally come to his own rescue, aad today Introduced a bill which if passed will give relief to those persons who aro in danger or losnig their property under Sparks' rullegs whites have been subject to criticism. The bill provides that where an entry of land has been Inade, either under the lietuesteml, PrampHon, or Timber-Culture laws, that the entry may be completed under the "seem construction of the law as was made at the time of entry.

This will prevent any injustice to settlers arising from a change in the Administration. The particular case welch attracted Van SVyelses attentiou and which led him to formulate the tell was that of a man who had taken out a quarter-seetion under the Timber-Culture act. 'leis law reads that one quarter-section in each section "devoid of limber may Ue taken up as a tree eitCm. Under the previous Administrations sections of land baying as mute as ten tiered ot timber FcaLterect ever it were ciassed se "desoisi of timber," and under this construction the claim in question was taken. The entry not havies been completed.

refused to allow it to be done, giving as a reason that the seetion bad timber on it at toe time of original entry, and that a timber claim could not be taken out. However just Sparks' construetion of the law is it is tnanitestly unjust, so Senator Van Wyek thinks that it should be retroactive; that those who have partially made for themselves homes should be forced to Jose teem by a dinereut construction of the same law. The Senate Committee on Public Lands is threatening to investigate Surveyor-General Dementes wild statements about the alleged frauds In Utah. Dement is kept busy denying that he told stories attributed to him. and Commissioner Sparks is forced to say that the Land Department ties no knowledge of frauds in Utah greater than In any other Territory.

The Northern Paeate Forteiture bill will be taken up Thursday by the House Committee on Public Lands. The proposition is to wipe out the entire grant trout the Missouri River to Um Pacific and from the Columbia River to Puget Sound. This is the measure advocated by Mr. Cobb of Indiana, who is the Chairman of the committee. The Northern Pacific will be represented in the argument Thursiley by President Harris and Mr.

The now famous telegrams said to have been exchanged between Gen.

NEW VORK, Feb. attempt to establish intelligibie telegraphic communication between moving railway trains and stations has been frequently made with more or less success. But there has never been a thoroughly successful experiment until today of a method by which such connection was estabtished over an ordinary railway road-bed without extensive and expensive alterations.

The invention is by Thomas A. Edison, IL T. Gilliland, end William Wiley Smith. The primary result obtained is perfect and instantaneous communication in all directions between fixed telegraphic stations and moving trains. No special wire is required, and hence the objection of great expense Is removed.

The mysterious part of the system is that the electricity is transmitted from a small dynamo carried on the train. To the ordinary Morse wires, usually running along the railroad. the electricity passes in waves. The exchanging of messages does not interfere with the transmission of messages on the wires themselves. The peculiar form of electricity used leaps from the train to the wires through the atmosphere.

It has already been successfully done over a distance of 400 feet. The apparatus used on moving trains for receiving and transmitting telegraphic messages consists cf an ordinary Morse key. a fonetic receiver, an ordinary elects magnet, and a battery. At the fixed stations a similar arrangement is used. The system was thoroughly tested this afternoon On the Staten Island Railroad from Clifton to Tottenville.

A large number of electricians were on the train. The train went along at the ordinary rate, and numerous dispatches were received addressed to various persons. Mr. Edison said the new wonder in telegraphy would tie introduced at once on the Illinois Central Railroad. A DEFRAUDED HEIR SEEKS HIS OWN.

Oscar Wilcox is a ship-caleer living at No. 311 Madison street, New York, who thinks that, like Ralp Rackstraw, he has been defrauded of a fortuae by an unhappy mixture in infancy. Instead of waiting for another Buttercup to turn up. be published a personal advertisement yesterday asking for information. His story ot the ease is about as follows: His grandfather was a native of Dublin, Ireland, who came to this country about 100 year ago.

Going to what was thou called the West-- obitshe became the owner or a large tract of land in the Western Reserve. his son, Daniel B. Wilcox. was born in Kentucky, and as a schoolmaster and surveyor wandered over most of tho Western and Middle States. At one time he taught in Woodbury, N.

3., and owned property there. Inheriting a good deal ot money trom his father, he married Charlotte Selleck of Philadelphia in 113. By her he had two children, Atnanda, born in le.27, and Oscar, born in Before Oscar was born, however, Mrs. Vilcox, who confessed having married her husband for his money, came to Brooklyn to live with her sister, who was also married and bad a son. This sister had, with her brother and father, a strong cusilke of Wilcox.

and the three soon laid a plan, as it seemed, to substitute one cousin for the other. SVileox himself remained for some years in Philadelphia, merely corresponding with his wife, and one day she returned with two children, her daughter and nephew, whom he of course recognized thereafter as his heirs. Oscar Wilcox grew up here in NeW York and Brooklyn, and by the time be as old enough to inquire into the matter his father had entirely disappeared. No trace could be found ef Him. Ile had never even seen his own son.

Mrs. Wilcox and her nephew continued to visit their relatives in Brooklyn, and once in conversation, when Oscar was present, one of them let out the secret that the former schoolmaster and surveyor was now an inmate of an insane asylum. The ship-calker could do nothing more for a long tithe. but learned that his father had once gotten Out of the asylum and was put back again by his wife's relatives. Ills mother died finally, and said on her deathbed that she had a I secret to tell, but before she could muster strength enough to give it she fell into a sin, por which was not again broken.

An old trunk belonging to the original Wilcox from Dublin was found among her effects. It had apptrently been the receptacle of the family papers, and she had alluded to 3t huskily before she lost consciousness, But the papers were gone, and only the name of the founder of the fortune, stamped in faded red letters on the bottom of the tray, stared the battled inquisitors in the face when they opened the lid. Where the estate is gone and who is enjoying it is a mystery. The real heir has been growing old in straitened circumstances in New York. while the supposititious one has been presumably enjoying life in Philadelphia.

Mr. Wilcox has at length determined to press the matter to its end, and if any clew to his father or the dispoeition of his property can be found legal proceedings will be instituted at once. IT'S ALL VERY -VEXING, DON'T CHER KNAW. E. Berry Wall, who also answers to the title "The King of the Dudes," bought some beautiful clothes two years ago from Whitaker Sic Co.

of London, England. After they bad made him the clothes they sent him a bill embracing items such as: A fancy-stripe flannel lounge-Coat; three fancy-spot cashmere waistcoats; a brown-check soft Angora lounge-coat; rich silk forepart linings; rich silk sleeve linings; a rich silk waistcoat; a pair of silk waist trous- eerrss; a white annel loutle-coat; a four pair fancy-stripe cashmere trcus pair flannel trousers, ranging from n. fl 7s to Hs ad. On them the duty, freightage, and expenses were us ad. At the end of this bill was a place where Messrs.

Whitaker St Co. expected in time to sign their name under the legend "Received payment." but the space is vacant still. Eight months ago the English tailors assigned their claim to an American tailor, and He sued Mr. Wall. After some months grace Jan.

5 last Mr. Wall was served with a summons Irhile he was lounging in the New -Vora Club. Ile did not notice the summons, perhaps because it was directed to "Evander B. NV The lawyer who bad him served entered judgment by default against him for $323. Then he issued execution against his property, and it seems likely that supplementary proceedings may be begun to inquire into the debtor's meaus and his way of spending them.

WHAT JUDGE COWING THINKS OF BRIBERY IN PUBLIC OFFICE. Judge Cowing, addressing the grand jury today. said: The atmosphere of the community, gentlemen, is full Of rumors and assertions of bribery in public office. It is a wicked. an awful crime, and there is no question that those who are convicted of it are far more despicable, wicked, and Infamous than the burglars and petty thieves that are brought into this court.

There is no comparison. in my opinion, between the two classes of men. It would be a godsend to the people if those who are unfaithful to their public trusts could be put behind the bars. This would be far more effectIve in clearing the public atmosphere than any other egency. These are mere rumors, it is true, founded or unfounded, just or unjust.

Still, there is no question that ninety-nine out of every 100 men in this country believe them to be true, and it is a public scandal that this should be so." ALLEGED IMPOSITION ON A WHISKY COMPANY. Mr. William C. Bolton, one of the largest wholesale and retail druggists in Brooklyn, was arrested today on a bench warrant issued by the Supreme Court at the instance of the Duffy Malt Whisky Company of Baltimore, who charge that Bolton has been buying up and refilling tnis company's empty bottles with spurious goods. Judge Donohue, wise issued the order of arrest, fixed the bail at $20,000.

This is the first case of the kind brought in the Supreme Court, as such cases have bereWforts been tried in the United States Courts. It is said that other arresta In this vicinity and elsewhere are to follow. GOTHAM GLEANINGS. Mr. and Mrs.

Patrick. A small sum as alms must be given. This may be given to any deserving poor, but persons wisning to deposit it in the church can do so and the amount will be used to create a special fund for theological students. Two days of severe fast and abstinence will have to be observed during the year. These days no lard, milk, butter.

cheese, or eggs are to be used In the preparation of food. In connection with the recent investigation at the custom-house here an Importer has stated that he believes be has lost some $1,200 in a comparatively short space of time. A nonce would be sent to the importer notifying him that a sample case for him sent to the examining warehouse was defective. This would be found to be the case, and in order to get his goods through the customs the importer would gladly ifm a certificate relieving the customs of all responsibility as to the contents of the broken case. Then It would be almost certain that the contents of the case would not be what they should be.

He had frequently found under such circumstances that special sizes of gloves or socks had been removed. So far he had submitted rather than make trouble, but he would now endeavor to bring about another state of affairs. OTTAWA, Feb. Robitailie and Mr. Itiopet, M.
