Union PaciHi was uivou out in the afternoon:
"Tho M'iirltleBof the Union Pacific eyMem

Mr. Field's older, and thnt the crash prevented
their delivery. They weru accordingly sold
nut under the rulo. All tho explanation that
oL HlerT could glvo of Mr. Field's purchobO
was that it was the act of n crazy man. It is
believed, however, in the street, thai Mr. Field
i had a purpose in getting hold of these bonds.
They are said to huvu hoen some of tho Union
l'aclllo securities which hud got out of tho
llrm's control. A number of brokers in the
Uroet were very skeptical about the Union Pa
" I'lllo's Ignorance ol the rehypothucatlons.

It can bo stated authoritutlvely. however, as
' learned last night, that the Union Pacific, di
rectors did nit understand that the llrm of
Field. I.lndloy. "Aiecliors & Co. hod any right
whatever to rehypothecate tho securities In

Mrs. Daniel A. Lindley was removed from
j the Evorett House shortly after noon yoster-
. day In an arabulaueo to thu house of
JJ Mlor father. Cyrus W. Field. Hho has
i been In Now York for about three weeks,
nd,. her husband has .been with her
nt the Everett Houso. When alio en mo
horo tho was suffering from nervous prostra-
Udn,'and a cold, was followod by pleurisy and
-maumonla. Hho has boen very sick the last
WOolc.' criticoliy so. It is said. For boreral
'. ' . . i, . J 4..
reasons It was decldod. yesterday to riove lior
to her father's house. H was Impossible to tnko
her thoro In n carriage and Mr. I.lndloy
hired an ambulance from the hew York Hos
pital. Tho chango was accomplished In a few
minutes, and Mrs, Lindley felt no ovil effects
from it. Her husband also left the hotel nt
the same time, and. It was said last night, had
taken up his quarters with his wife in Mr.
Field's home. .. . . .....'.
Her sister. Mrs. Judson, and Mrs. Judson'fl
two sons, Mr. Cyrus .tudson and Mr. Frank
Judson, llvn with Mr. Field, nnd the family Is
now nil together with tho exception of Mr. Ed
ward if. Flold Mr. Frank Judson oamo nut of
tho house at Oh o'clock last night. .Ques
tioned as to Mr. Cyrus W. Field s condition, ho
" JfV grandfather apnoara to havo recovered
a llttlo from the first effoct of yesterday's
shock. Ho has beon nhln to come to tho toblo
regularly with tho other membors of the
family. Ho talks and acta very much
ns usual, and ho is thoroughly Informed
ns to tho full extent of tho calamity
that hashapponed, Wn do not fear any sud
den change In his condition to-night, but at tho
same tlmo we cannot help knowing that his
condition Is very critical. Tho shock ho ro
ceivod at my grandmother's death was ter
rible. Ho did not roallzo that she was danger
ously 111 at tho time, and, when sho passed
away. It shattered him completely. Ho had
not roeoverod nt alt from that when
this second shock enme. and ho Is now
corrplotely crushed. And when a man gets to
bo 72 yoars old such things nro likely to bo
vory serious. To oxpross how I feel, if ho
Bhould din to-morrow. I can't say that I would
be surprised ; yet, perhaps, hu is just as Ilkoly
to llvo n year."
In regard to Mr. Edward M. Field. Mr. Jud
son said:
"Tho shock to hlra hns bean a Tory great
one. and I nm afraid his mind has nlvon way
under It Just how serious his mental troublo
Is I cannot say."
, It came out that Mr. Edward M. Field and
his wife had not been In their houso or In Mr.
Cyrus W. Field's houso nil day. but had gone
uwny thu night before. Er. C. L. Lindley, Mr.
L- M. Field's brother-in-law. who has attended
both Mr. Cyrus W. Field nnd Jlr. E. M. Field,
mid of Mr. E. M. Field! ... .
"Hu has left his house, but he is still in
town nnd will remain hero. I havo seen him
to-day. Ho left his house becuuso ho was be
ing worried to death there. Tho constant
ringing of tho door hell kept him in an intunso
statu of exeltemont nil day long, nnd
if lie had remained thuro It might havo killed
hlra. His mind is In a most critical state and
hns been for somo time. Ho Is temporarily in
sane, but how long It will last 1 cannot tell.
Ever timu the door hull rung ho would
stop short If ho was walking In the room up
stairs and nsk. Is that the door belli''
and every time ho had to bo answered. He
would ropeut. Is.that tho door bell ? is that
the door bell ? Is that tho door hell V" and
somebody had to"answnr. Yoh. that is tho
door bell.' Othorwt.se ho couldn't bo quloted.
It hns boen tlio same way for tho past week.
If n mouse ran across the floor ho would stop
and point at it and 'ask oxoitodly: 'What's
thnt Is that u, mouse? Is that a mouse l Is
that a mouse ?' And .somebody lmd to answer:
Yes, that's a mouse.'
"If anybody should attempt to take hlra
away from tlio city to get him freo from his
bUHlnesx.rosponsibillty, It would be thu surest
way to mako him commlteulclde. It would bo
criminal to spirit him away. Hut rost assured
he will remain in tho city: only hu must not be
bothered with continual inqurlcs.
' Mr. Cyrus W. Field's health Is much morn
perlous than I fnncy tho members of his family
imagine. Just nt the momont ho Is In a stato
of artificial excitement His nerves aro all on
end. Hut a reaction is sure to follow.
" .lust how long bofore it will como It Is diffi
cult to say: It maybe to-morrow or consider
ably later. But 1 have llttlo hopo that ho can
withstand It."
A gentleman who ramo from Jlr. Cyrus
W. Field's house snld:
"Mr. CyniH Flold Is not so ill as ho has
been said to be. He has bad much to
break him down, but is a. man of iron
nene, nnd I havo no doubt that he
will soon recovor. Mrs. Lindley Is.
I understand, very ill. nnd fears are enter
tained for her Ufa As for Edwurd Fiold. hols
no more lnsano than any otlior man In
his position would be. For a long
tlmn he has been undergoing a con
stant strain, and It is not surprising
thut when tho crash came hu should havo
broken down under it He Ib suffering from
great nervous strain, but tho reports that his
mind has given way are not true."
THE JPXOT TO VS8EAT SEXATOB BRICE.
Sherman May Oppoe tu and Will Have m
Prceedeat la the Case of Senator Ames.
Wisnisoios. Oct 28. Senator Sherman's
letter to tho Ohio Republicans, who aro con
sidering tho advisability and practicability ot
making an attempt to decUro vacant the seat
of Senator Brlcc, Indicates that Mr. 8herman
will take a hand in the contest It is probable,
however, that if ho does he-will be in favor of
a resolution declaring Mr. Dried to be eligible.
The records of tho Sonata furnish a precedent
bearing almost directly upon tlio points in
volved In the case of Mr. Brice. and to bo con
sistent Mr. Sherman must vote to protect his
Ohio colleague In his seat The caso which
forms tho precedent Is that of Adolbert Amos.
who was allowed to takq, his seat as a Senator
from Mississippi in the Forty-llrst Congress,
notwithstanding a unanimous report by tho
Committee on tho Judiciary to the effect that
Mr. Amos, at tho tlmo of his election, was not
it citizon ot the State of Mississippi. Mr. Sher
man votod against this report while a score ot
the ablest lawyors in tho Sonato voted to sus
tain it
Senator Conkllng prosonted tho report to the
committee. It declared that Mr- Amos, an
army officer from Maine, who was provisional
Governor and District Commander in Missis
sippi under Gen. McDowell in 1809, when
electod was ineligible, according to tho mean
ing of the third clause of tho third section ot
Articlo L of the Constitution, which Is ns fol
lows: ho prrAon nhsll be a fitnatnr who nhrdl nut lm0 at
taints! to the ace of 30 yean and been ulno yeara a
citizen of tbe 1 tilted Htatcc. nnd who alialt not, woeli
elected, be au lubabltaut of ttiat state Tor uicu be
aball bo cboaen.
Sonator Conkllng delivered nn elaborate ar-
Kume in fuvor of his report, nnd elted a long
st of authorities In its favor. The Senate
overruled tho roport. the vote being 40 oas to
12 nays. Mr. bumner made thu motion tn
strikeout tho word "not "in tlio resolution,
thus declaring Mr. Amos "entitled." nnd Mr.
Sherman voted In support of tho motion of Mr.
Sumnur. The election of Mr. Ames was con
ceded to bo regular, but tho committeo
took tho ground that ho was not an
inhabitant at tho timo of his election to
'the Sonate, though he had previously
declared his intention of becoming a citizen ot
Mississippi. Those who voted in favor of tho
resolution to unsoat Sonator Ames were
Messrs. Bayard. Carpenter. Cassorly. Conkllng,
Davis, Edmunds, McCroery. Norton, Pratt
Schurz. Trumbull, and Yiekcrs, all lawyors of
great ability.
In a subsequent debate that took place In
the Senate botwoen Sonators Amos and Alcorn,
the latter said that Senator Ames, in his sketch
of his llfo In tho Congressional Directory had
stated that ho was from the city of Natchez,
but he (Alcorn) would mako tho assortlon that
suohwasnnt true, and ho did not boliovo Mr.
Ames had over beon in that city long enough
to huvo his shirt washed there.

Mays, Mr. Kvaas Would Not Marry.
Baliimobk. Nov. 2a Mary Mlnetsberger,
aged about 27, has begun a broach of promise
suit against John Wesley Evans, aged 30 and
well known in church, social, and business
circles. MIss'Mlnetsbercorsavs:
"I first became acquainted with Mr. Evans
about eight years ago, and until Inst July he
visited me almost dully. Ho did not mako a
formal proposal till about two years after
wo met. At that time Mr. Evans was by no
means In affluent circumstances, and wo both
knew It would bu Impossible to marry nt that
time. I waited patiently, howoi.fr, and en
couraged him in bis struggle for fortune, HU
condition Improved nnd ho is now very pros
perous. " Two weeks nfter we first met Mr. Evans re.
eelved an anonymous letter from a lawyer in
town. Tho writer warned Mr, Evans against
mo and rust aspersions on my character.
Mr. Evans inquired into the charge
nnd discovered It was false Then lie
brought ma the letter in, order that I might
Identify tho writer. He told mo thnt ho was
satisfied the charge was a malicious Ho. and
ho thought tho writer should be punished. I
knewatonco who tho writer was. Ho was a
well-known lawyer, o. married mnn with mar
ried children, who had persecuted mo with his
attentions. He did not deny writing the tot
ter when, I charged him with It, and
was publicly horsewhipped by my brother Ed
win. It is this lottor. If bo has It, that Mr.
Evnns probably wants to bring forward as his
reason for not marrying mo after a lapse of
eiclit years."
Mr. Evans sold: "A man doos not llkn to pay
anything that ho does not owe, and they are
not going to frighten mo Into that payment. I
won't tell anything about my sldu of tho caso
now, but th'-io will bo a sensation when it
comes to trluU I will make no compromise."

open door leading to tho corridor resounded to a
dainty knock, at first unheard. Whon repeat

young lndlos. dressed in the very gloss ot

wero New Yorkers.
" Is Mr. Springer In?" nsked the foremost,
as she held out two visiting cards.
" It is I whom you seek." rosponded Mr.
Springer, smiling his sweetest as ho glanced

that Springer would get at least ono-hult of

At the Mills headquarters this morning

Mr. Maish of Pennsylvania has opened head

layed declaring his candidacy becauso ho was
under tho impression thnt Mr. Mutchler was
going to no a cundldato for bpeaker. and that
meanwhile Mr. Kerr declared himself and cap
tured nearly all tho Pennsylvania delegation.
They say. however, that Maish has very de
cldod strength outside of tho State of Penn
sylvania, und that his record as a
Union soldier will help 1dm in tho fight Sir.
Kerr's friends say that ho (Kerr) hosovery
one of the Pennsylvania Democratic members
and that he is growing in strenth outside
steadily. Messrs. Dalton und Clark aro of
course not annoed nt tho appearance of two
Pennsylvania candidates in tho Held, und they
ore each hustling for tho place.
The indications aro that there will be a very
hot light between Turner and Colt for tho

CAX ALMT t-RCAVEf
BesatorChnnrilerHays Ho Cannot Be flanged
Until lie Is Pnbllcly Hestcaeed In Court,
Concord. N. II.. Nov. 2a-WriHng from
Washington, Senator Chandler says:
"Our State has had two memorablo murder
trials, thoso of Sawtell and Almy, which havo
attracted attention throughout the world. On
tho first tho doors and windows woro
set wide open and tho lives ot
all tho porsons in attendance wero
endangered as much as wasbawteH's. Tho
two Judges took severe colds and narrowly
escaped pneumonia, although thoy bought
liorso blankets for themselves and the
jury. Tho exposure to universal sick
ness ordored by tho Court was cruol
and dlsgracoful. In tho Almy trial the
samo was repoatod. Everybody's llfo
was perilled by opening tlio doors and win
dows. I am Informod that tho windows worn
entirely removed. To cap thu climax of
absurdity, thu prisoner wus removed to the
btuto prison without the sentence of death
being announced to htm. and waited in
prison for a week before lie know it
Consider. O ye jurists, tho spectaclo presented
by New Hampshire. A criminal under sen
tence or death for murdor, yet Ignorant of
thu fact The lawyers of tho nation havo
looked on with amazement, and nothing
but the execration In which Almy Is uni
versally held prevontsan outcry of tho same
from any part of the Union. New Hampshire,
by statute, or tho arbitrary flat of honorable
Judges, may have altered a fundamental prin
ciple of criminal law. I have not ex
amined tho books. But unless Almy's
sentence Is publicly announced to him
In court I do not seo how, lawfully, he
can be hanged, or even much longer lra-
firisoned. Tho Warden cannot hold Tilra for
rial, because he has already beon tried. He
cannot hold him to hang him. because he has
not boon sentenced. After a while he will be enti
tled to release on habeas corpus and can go free.
To prevent all questions he should betaken
back into the courtroom, the doors and win
dows should be closed against the winds and
frost and snow of winter, and ho should
bo sentenced to death as the finding of
the Judges and law and decency re quires, and
the people nt Now Hampshire should consider
how to prevent such judicial anomalies here
after as the btuto has twice exhibited in her
recent history."

London, Nov.' 28. Tho Times this mornlnA
publishes a despatch from its correspondent'
at Shanghai which confirms the reports that
the troublo in China aro not alone based on
tho antl-forelgn fooling entertained by somo ot
tho natives. This Is but ono phaso of tho sit
uation. The underlying reason for tbo discon
tent which pervades many districts of China Is
the fact that the natives of tho country belle, a
that the time Is ripe to overthrow the Manchu
dynasty and to Cbtabllsh again the natlvs '
dynasty, which was overthrown In 1(344.
In that year the Manchurians. who
had'invaded China, deposed tho native sover
eign nnd placed upon thothronnthesonof thoir
louder, nlnco that tlmo tho Manchu dynasty
nab ruled in China and the Manchu language
has become the court and ofllqlal language,
and slnco that tlmo there has beon u constant
undercurrent of revolutionary feeling on tha
part of the natives. This has from time to
time broken Into armed rebellion, but the Po
kln authorities have been uble heretofore to
suppress the rebolu. Tho mott nnrlous revolt
was tho Tnl-Pingrobellion In 1850 nnd contin
ued until iiHio. This, howoer. was llnnlly put
down by the Imperial truops led by British and
Amerioan ofllciirs.
