In favor of the nomination of Mr Hen
T. Cable for congress It says:
It Is to be hoped that Mr. Cable will
conclude to maae the race In this district
this fall. He would represent the Inter
ests of the district with ability, and if
nominated would have an easy walk
away. Mercer county would give him a
larger vote than any man the di mocrat
couiil nominate, as he la well known
throughout the county as an honest man,
and a friend to UM poor working classes
Thk recommendation of the policy
board of the navy for a naval establish
ment of 337 vessels, costing $349 315.
000, must not be understood as reflecting
in all respects the views of the secret
tary. Instead of thirty-eight battle
ahips of the first, second and third class
as recommended by the hoard, the secre
tary proposes but twenty, and instead of
190 cruisers, monitors and torpedo boats,
he advises twenty coast defence ships
ami sixty cruisers, of which thirty-one
are now built or authorized, making a
avy of 100 vessels He also adds the
recommendation of a fleet of fast
merchantmen, capable of being tiaed

special use in time of need It Is not to
bn believed that the people of this coun

such an expenditure as the naval board

Nxw York, Feb. 8. Oen. Isaac 4. Catlin,
accompanied by Mr and Mn. Robert
Oraves, his daughter and son-in-la r, arrived
home from Washlnton City, whera he went
to attend the funeral of Mrs. uid Miss
Tracy, who were near relatives. Speaking
of the calamity by which the two adies lost
their live, he said Secretary Tracy could re
call but little of the event of hat fatal
morn
But One Lucid Interval
Said Oen. Catlin: "I had an bmr'stalk
with him alone over tbe incidents c t tbe sad
event. He told me be had but on lucid in
terval after waking from sleep befc ro losing
consciousness. He saw the smoke 1 11 around
him, and he remembered calling ut: 'My
God, we are all lost I' His next awakening
was to find tbe president bending over him
at Mr Bancroft Davis' house."
Not a Successful Comforter.
"1 made a blundering attempt i lyself to
nerve up the secretary, wdiich rest lted in a
way 1 nevor contemplated," he c nitinued.
Jl heard Mr. Wilmerding's daugh er say to
her mother: 'Mamma, why do you cryf It
is true that graudiuu au I Auut Mary are
gone, but we bavo grand)iapa b ft. You
must take care of him, you know, mamma.'
I went straight to Oen. Tracy an eport -.1
what the child had said. He lookdd at me
for an instant and then uttered si cli a cry
of angu ah as 1 had never hea d The
strong man sobbed as if bis hea t would
break.
Haunted by Their Awful late.
"I begged Oen. Jourdan, who had suffered
the loss of his own daughter, to try and com
fort the secretary, and he succeeded well.
"General," said the secretary to hire, 'I know
you have suffered yourself, but yo ir daugh
ter died a natural death, while my lear ones
portshed soffrightfully.' This is th thought
that haunts him, and which time tlone can
banish "
The general feelingly alluded to tho great
tenderneaa of President Harrisor and his
family toward the living and the dead.

LaTHROp, Mo., Feb. 7. Forty -seven ladies
of this city visited two "gallon houses" and
gambling hell- hero yesterday and utterly
demolished both establishments, destroying
nearly 1,U00 worth of liquors. Such an act
was not unexpected. For months these two
places have boeu run iu titter disregard of
law, and without any official interference, so
rar as tho public could learn The contiuued
outrage of public sentiment lias aroused
much indigiiHticu, and it 1ms been evident
that a crisis would soon be reached.
Secret Order. Take Action.
Three of the secret orders have this week
taken actiou re 'urding the disregard of law,
and a petition was circulated Thursday aud
very extensively sigued. askunc the officials
to do something toward closing them. This
evidence of a determined effort causod the
ladies to decide on the work yesterday The
div,k.H-prs having learned that such a
movement would nrnbuhlv lw , ,!.. ma nt
them had a large amount of his liquor taken
. . . .. . . i . . . .
ut ui lumi aua toe otuer bad secured a
largo amount in an adjoining building.
The Raid of the Reformer.
Yesterday afternoon at .. o'clock the ladies
came up the busin.-s sti-.ur nnd i.r,-, i... i
a billiard hall run by T. Jacquff and T.
i aru. l uey louud the frout door locked,
but it was promptly broken In. The par
tition door yielded next, and the proprietor,
with a crowd of customer, ran out tbrouch
the back door. The liquor was brought out
and the streets Hooded with it, the assem
bled crowd cheering Instil V aa the ladies nm-
reeded with their work.
Hla I'lHyers Were In Vasts.
This finished they proceeded to the restau
rant ruu by A. J. Carroll, and. though the
proprietor pleaded manfully for au oppor
tunity of moving his goods, bis request was
unheeded and another stream of liquor wont
down the street. The ladies then visited
each of tho throe drug stores and other
places, but found no caus for crusading.
While all gixxl citiens regret the necessity
for yesterday's occurrence, there is powerful
public sentiment back of the ladies, and it is
thought their act will effectually settle those
two places.

Kbyfoht, N. J., Feb. 8. The announce

to the grounds of .lames M. Glenn, at Haz

birds which miss tho aim of the marksman

Tom Campbell's Opinion of Wood, the
til-eat ontra. t Forger.
Washington Crrv, Fob. 8 Jama E.
Seal, chairman of the Democratic state
wmmittee during the last stato campaign,
was the first witness yesterday before the
ballot-box investig-.it ors. He said the reason
.Jovernor Camphell did not have Halstead
arrested for criminal libol was that such a
wurse would have violated tho confidence of
the men who told the Democrats how the
forgery was concocted, and also that It was
believed that a retraction from Halstead
would have the best effect.
John It. MeLean Testlrle.
The next man to be heard wa John R. Mc
Lean, proprietor of The Cinoinnati En
quirer His testimony was that he never
knew Wood; that he never had any kind of
relations with tho men whoso names were

T. C. Campbell is the man who got Gov

were on thu forged contract, fcad ruy Inter

quaintance Witness denied point-blank

wit peas said could have freed Governor For-

Wood a Constitutional Liar.
Wituess was sure W.sl could not tell two
truths consecutively "If you told an un
truth, " said witness to Governor Foraker.
you would he guilty of an offense, becaust
you know butter. When Wood told an un
truth, ho could not help it; be didn't know
bow to tell the truth." Witness said ho sus
pected some erson of higher Intelligence
than wood of instigating the forgery, and
admitted that he thought it was Governor
Foraker He was now "largely" convinced
that his suspicions were not correct
What He Meant by " Largely."
Ex-Governor Foraker wanted the witness
to statu why he used the word "largely."
"Do you think that I had anything to do
with the matter f
"No, sir," replied the wltne-s; "but I do
think that you were remiss in not coming to
me when you received the ballot-box paper
in order to ascertain Its genuineness."
Some further testimony of an uninterest
ing character was g'ven, among the wit
nesses being Ktpresentatives Breckinridge,
of Kentucky, aud Butterworth, who repudi
atedall connection with the matter, while
James It Foraker, tho ex-governor's brother,

A French Prince Captured and

THE BOURBON HEIR IN TROUBLE.
Audacious Appearance In France of the
Son or the Count or I'arla The Author
ities Put Him In the Haatile aa a Pre
cautionary Measure Hla Season for
HI Adventure The Walea Mining
Slaughter.
Paris, Feb. 8. Prince Philippe. Due d'Or
leans, eldest son of the Comte de Paris, was
arrested here yesterday. He arrived in
Paris in the morning, the bearer of a letter
announcing tho abdication of his father and
his formal renunciation of all claims to the
French throne, together with a manifesto of
the Conite de Pari to the tieople. The gov
ernment was aware of his presence in the
city, aud ho was at once taken into custody
for violation of the law banishing royal pre
tenders from France.
A Possible Pretender.
Nominally, and according to tho theory of
pretenders, a pretender is always a king,
and therefore the count of Pars abdicates
tho throne he never possessed ; and in virtue
of this abdication all his claims, rights, and
titles de, , iid to his eldest sou, the young
gentleman uow In the hands of the authori
ties. Tho gentleman is, therefore, not merely
one of many vagrant princes, but the actual
pretender to the throne in virtue of his
claims as the heir of Louis Phillippe aud also
as the heir of tho old Bourbon line.
And a Mighty Bash Young Man.
His coming into the country. In violation
of the law banishing all the heads and di
rect heirs of reigning families, is a rash es
capade, even if it stands alone. The fact
that he was equipped with an appeal to the
nation shows his intentions and may make
the escapade serious for him If it should be
develop that this movement is made in
virtue of an understanding with the parti
sans of the monarchy in France it may be
more than a mere violation of the law of ex
pulsion. The fiovernraeut Waa Qui Vive.
The govornmont was not caught napping,
however. It was promptly informed of tho
presence of the duke in Paris, and of his
whereabouts, and thoy took him in. In the
afternoon he was arraiguod before the mili
tary authorities at tho central bureau. In
response to the inquiry as to the objects and
purposes of his visit to France, he said that
having at turned his majority, ho had come
to Frauce to place himself at the disposal of
tbe military authorities. This dash of audac
ity is regarded as a very hap
py stroke, and is sure to make
friends for him, for a gallant French
boy who watits to take his chance for con
scription is a somewhat unusual and capti
vating figure to appear in the daily news.
But this did not touch the sensibilities of
tbe hard-hearted authorities, aud M. Con
stance, the minister of the interior, ordered
that the duke be held In custody. Further
disposition of the case of course depends on
whether it is discovered that there was a
plot for a general royalist movement behind
thi- incident
