'{Members of Upper House Who
Supported Him Ready to
Reverse Verdict.
MANY HOTLY ASSAILED
Senators Are Hearing From
Their Constituents in No
Uncertain Terms.
Washington, April 23.?Although a
reopening 'ot the Lorimor case Is not
expected for some time, or until the
legislative investigation at Springfield j
ends, it has bocome generally known
that a number of sdnators who voted
for the exoneration of Mr. LiOrlmcr
would welcome a reasonable oppor?
tunity for reversing their attitude. Now
evidence and another inquiry would
' enable them to change their position.
Many Senators have received unmis?
takable Intimations that their constlt
' uculs aro much aroused because of
their voles In favor of Mr. Lorlmer.
Tho most violent manifestations of
hostility on this account has come from
' South Dakota, and Is directed against
! Mr. Gamble, who. as a member of the
' Committee on Privileges and Elections,
assisted In making an in vestlgatlon
: of tile charges of bribery and corrup
j tlon In connection with the election of
Mr. Lorimor. He has been so bitterly
.' assailed and his return so Imperilled
f that in self-defense, it la understood,
.' he would not object to a reversal of
? i he verdict.
The people of Massachusetts have
made It plain to Senator Crane that
they do not approve of his course In
voting for the exoneration of ' Mr.
Lorlmcr. Formal complalnta have been
sent to him by some of tho religious
organizations of the State. Mis reply
in each Instance has been to transmit
a copy of tho evidence taken, with
a suggestion that It bo carefully read.
PoBslble opposition in Texas does
jiol worry Senator Bailey in the least.
He has from the beginning declared
?that no other verdict was admissible
tinder the Inw and precedents. Ho does
not seek an opportunity for changing
his vote.
Senator Paynter, of Kentucky, Is In
It rather awkward predicament. Much
opposition already existed to his re?
election, and it has been greatly Inten?
sified by antl-I.orlmer sentiment In his
State. His defense will bo Justification
under the evidence.
Senator Simmons is not apprehensive
of tho consequences following his vole
for Lorimor. He will fight criticism In
Norlh Carolina on the ground that no
?other Just course could have been
taken.
Senators from other States declare
that the strength of public sentiment
against them because of their Larimer
votes cannot be accurately measured
here. They affect to believe that at
this distance from home It is vastly:
exaggerated and will soon disappear.]
They profess to not be uneasy over I
possible retirement from public life. !
GOT MARRIAGE LICENSE,
BUT NAMED WRONG GIRL I
Act lug for Hrotlier, Anrnn Hosenfeld,
Confused, stirred Up Trouble
for Three Families.
Baltimore. Md., April 23?William
liosonfcld, having planned for his mar?
riage to Miss P.osle Mnrgolls. asked
his brother Aaron to get the license
Aaron posted to the license clerk's
office. When he was asked the name
i'l the girl he became confused and
said It was Miss Posle Lapldes. When
he handed the license to his brothet
there followed a tearing of hair. Bo\1j
rushed back to the license offlco and
found It closed.
When Miss Margolls looked through
the papers she was astounded to see
that a wedding license had been Is?
sued to her sweetheart to marry anoth?
er girl, and she went Into hysterics
Miss Rosle Lapldes, also scanning the
papers, learned to her surprise that a
license had been obtained for her mar?
riage to Mr. Posenfeld. Miss Lapldes
became excited.
Accompanied by Brother Aaron, Wil?
liam hurried to the courthouse and
had tho name on tho license changed.
Then visits were made to the young
? women's houses, and the whole "affair
[was smoothed over. The wedding will
lake place to-morrow.

BUILDING PERMIT j
Application Must State Whether
White or Colored Family
Will Be Occupant.
In aix'ordanco with the recently
adopted "segregation act," which pro?
vides tha-t any person proposing here?
after to erect a dwelling must Indi?
cate whether it Is to be for white or
colore-l people, a new blank form of
application for permit has been pre?
pared by Building Inspector Beck, and
will be placed In use to-day. All
forms heretofore issued are withdrawn.
The law does not state wha.*. use Is to
be modo by the Building Inspector of
the Information so gained; it merely
makes it a matter of record In his
oflice whether the house to be erected
Is for white or colored people.
This feature will be of particular
Interest when the house Is the first
to be erected in any block, as other
provisions of the segregation law spec?
ify that In any block on which there
la more than one house, no dwelling
shall be occupied by white people If
the majority of the residents of tho
block are colored, and no dwelling
may bo occupied by colored people If
i the majority of the residents on the
block arc white. In new sections of
I the city not hitherto built up, under
the plan adopted, the application for
j the first permit will Indicate whether
| the block Is to be white or colored,
I as after the first house is built and
! occupied by the family of ono race no
j family of the opposite race can come
. In. There are several points in the
I segregation law that will have to be
j construed by the courts, and an early
I test la anticipated.
The Building Inspector will also put
into effect to-day the resolution fixing
Iiis public oflice hours from 9 A. M. to
8 P. M. Hitherto the office has been
open to 6 P. M_ The nfternoon hours
Will be reserved for office work and

OR. HYDE GAINED
WEIGHT IN PRISON
Has Followed a Wonderful |
Course of Exercise During
His Year in Jail.
Kansas City. April ?23.?Dr. B. C.
Hydo, who is to havo another trial for
killing Colonel Swopc, la spending
much or his time preparing to leave
the Jail. Ho Is having aomo new suits
mado and has ordered a complete sup?
ply of haberdashery. The physician's
appearance and physique have not suf?
fered by his year in jail. Ho now Is
thlrty-nluo years old, and said last
night ho never felt better in his life;.
Ills color is ruddy and tho "prison
liallor" is conspicuous for its absence.
He weighed ISO when he went to
jail, and now weighs close on to 200
pounds. He is. unable to wear with
any degree of comfort the clothing
he wore when he was committed to a
cell last April.
The physician attributed his good
health to plenty of exercise. When
ho first became a prisoner he was al?
lowed the privilege of the corridor, j
He quickly ascertained that ninety-six j
limes the length of the corridor made
a mile, and each morn'.pg before
breakfast ho trotted six miles along
this ninety-six foot.* To make the six
miles he traversed tho corridor 33H
times, his feet incased In rubbcr-sole?
gymnasium shoes.
After the six-mile trot. Dr. Hydo
jumpi d tho rope?without tho rope ?
1.000 times. He swung his arms as if
he held a rope In his hands, and
Jumped at the propor time. He said
that exercised every muscle In '.his
body?arms, legs, abdomen, back and
thighs.
He also had dumbbells, which ho
c??ed to exercise his arms, going
through certain movements from ono
to 60? times each morning. Then lie
would take a cold plunge and cat
breakfast.
When his privileges were taken from
him a few months ago he was denied
tho corridor, and his dumbbells taken
away, hut they could not take from
him his imaginary rope, and he Jumped
the rope 2,000 Instead of 1,000 time,
as formerly, varying the monotony by
standing on his hands for a minute at
a time, or swinging from the bars of
his cell. Dr. Hydo, In his year In jail,
has become an all-around athlete, and
there are to-day In Kansas City few
men of his ago as powerful as he.
M0SBY DEFENDED HIMSELF

ducted Only Honorable Wir.
New York. April 23.?In a letter writ?
ten on October 3, 1857,'by Colonel John
S. Mosby, the Confederate leader, to
John C. Hopes, and which sold for $1
at Anderson's the past week, occurs the
following interesting statement:
"No doubt you rend many stories of
the atrocities perpetuated by me. and I
have no doubt that you are surprised
to find nothing in tho records to con- |
firm these Bohemian reports. Major j
Forbes and many other Massachusetts
men will testify that I conducted hon- ]
orablo war?we were simply detached
from the main army. I think, If my
command had been with Napoleon, we
would have broken up communication
between Blucher and Wellington."
Another Civil War letter, which
brought 15.25. was written by the Con?
federate general, Richard Sloddard
l?well, on January 22, 1SR1. only a
few days before tho delegates from six
of the Southern States, in a conven?
tion at Montgomery, Ala., formed a
confederacy. iOwell, who was a native
of the District of Columbia, was grad?
uated from West Point in 1S10, and
served InThe Mexican War. He joined
the Confederates and was distinguish?
ed in a number of battles, losing a leg
in tho battle of Groveton. He sav's in
the letter:
"Every one here is on tenterhooks of
impatience to know what the Southern
States will do. The officers generally
are averse to anything like Civil War
The truth Is In the army thero are no
sectional feelings, and many, from ex?
treme ends of the Union, are most Inti?
mate friends. They say here that war
cannot be postponed for sixty days."
William G. Brownlow, Governor of
Tennessee, and commonly known as
"The Fighting Parson." was represent?
ed by a letter, dated Philadelphia, Sep?
tember S, 1SC2, and which fetched $5.50.
In It ho 3ay<=:
"The excitement here Is very great
It is understood that the rebels are
marching upon Cumberland Valley, in
this .state, vld Harrisburg. with a view
to capture Harrisburg and Philadel?
phia. The rebel force Is said to be 200,
000. Our force don't seem able to check
them up at all. What our leaders, civil
and military, are about I don't know.
Our people are losing confidence In all
that boloncs to our army."
Samuel P. Chase. Secretary of the
Treasury under Lincoln, in a loiter.
March .10, 1885, to MajorrGcneral Mc?
Dowell, which sold for Sil. says:
"Well, the last jiet of the bloody
drama Is holng played. Will it dose in
blood? I can hardly think so. f.ee
seems now to have virtually a supreme
power In the. Confederacy. He Is out?
numbered. It seems to me, beyond all

COFFEE CONGESTION
Onuses a Variety of Ails.
A happy old lady in Wisconsin Fays;
"Durinc llic time I was a coffee drinker
I was subject to sick headaches, some?
times lasting 2 or 3 days, totally unfitting
me for anything.
To this affliction was added, some years
ago, a trouble with my heart I hat was
very painful, accompanied by a smother?
ing sensation and raininess.
Dyspepsia, also, came to make life
harder to bear. I look all sorts of patent
medicine:-', but none of them helped nie
for any length of tin e.
?'The doctors frequently iold me that
coffee was not pood for me; but without
coffee I felt as if I had no breakfast. I
filially decided about 2 years ago t"
abandon the use of coffee entirely, and as
I had read n great deal about Postum I
concluded to try thai for a breakfast bev?
erage.
"I liked tile taste of ii and was par?
ticularly pleased lo notice that it did nut
'conic up' as coffee used to. The bat)
spells with my heart grew less and less
frequent, and finally ceased altogether,
and I have not had an attack of sick head?
ache for more ihan a year My diges?
tion is good, too, and I am thankful that
I am once more a healthy woman. I
know my wonderful restoration to health
came from quitting coffee and using Pos?
tum." Name given by the Postum Co.,
Rattle Creek. Mich.
"There's a reason," and ii is this. Cof?
fee has a direct action on the liver with
some people, and causes partial conges?
tion of that organ, preventing the natural
outlet, of the secretions. Then may follow
biliousness, sallow skin, headaches, con?
st ipation and finally a change of the blood
corpuscles and nervous prostration.
Read the lillle book, "The Road to
WVllville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."
Ever read I lie above letter? A new
I one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true and full of human
interest.
Comparative Estimate of
Simplex and Duplex Pumps
AS A UNIT
As a unit the simplex pump is more compact and leas complicated than
the duplex type.
OPERATION
In the simplex pump there is no balancing of adjustments as in the
tluplex, and there is always a constant delivery pressure into the accumula?
tor, while in the duplex a constant pressure without a receiver is had at the
cost of economy, since the constancy of pressure depends on one piston
taking up the water flow where its mate left off, or on the alternating of
half strokes. '
In the duplex each piston rrsts half the time, or each side of the pump
rests 12 hours per day, regardless of spped, and allows a cylinder condensa?
tion, which is a clear,waste.
CONSTRUCTION
Duplex pumps have double the number of wearing surfaces found in
the simplex, /'. c, cylinders, stuffing boxes, glands,.rods, valves, etc., and
thereby the cost of repairs is, of course, doubled. Likewise is the friction
due to packing and the liability of accidents doubled.
The flat faced slide valves in the duplex pumps adds considerably to
the friction loss, ami do not wear to a good bearing, as is claimed by the
manufacturers.

Citizens May Elect Representa?
tives as Though From Old
Manchester.
For the purpose of discussing tbe po?
sition of the former city of Manches?
ter In relation to the State govern?
ment. Senator J. B. Watklns and Cap?
tain W, W. Unkir, of Cheslertlold, vis?
ited the Capitol Saturday. The point
may be raised In connection with the
coming election for members of the Gon
eral Assembly, especially if there Is op?
position to the Incumbents.
Under the last V upporlionment of
members of the Legislature, operative
until the new allotment to be mada
next winter, the -Sixtchth Senatorial
District is composed of the counties
of pliesterlleld, Goochlnnd and Powha
inn end the city of Manchester. The
city of Manchester Is now no more,
and the city of Richmond composes the
Thirty-eighth District, with two mem?
bers. The question is, should the peo?
ple of South Rit hmond vote with the
rest of the city for Senators, or should
they consider themselves as still Man?
chester, when, tinder the laws of the
Stntc, that municipality has gone out
of existence?
Again, in reference to membership
in the House of Delegates. Manchester
Is placed In a floterlai district with
Chesterfield and Powhatan counties.
If Manchester Is no more, how can her
people join in the election of a member
of the House?
Legislature Supreme.
Some of the olllcials at the Capitol
expressed the view that until the Leg?
islature itself takes cognizance of the
annexation, its members will be elected
as heretofore, and the change will bo
considered for representative purposes
as not having been made. The Gen?
eral Assembly Itself Is the judge ol
the qualifications of its members and
of the legality of their election, it has
never been officially notified Hint Man?
chester has been annexed, for that event
did not take place until after tho last
meeting of the State lawmnking body
was completed. It cannot be so notl
llcd until after the next members are
elected.
The impression prevails, therefore,
that the. people of Manchester will vote
as usual, olecling representatives us
Miey have been doing since the redls
trlcttng ten years ago. The Legislature
at its coining session must redlstrlet
the State on the basis of the new con-,
sits figures, and the matter will then
hi adjusted. The- general opinion seems
to be that tills course will be followed

?venture to pay tho note. In short, old
Graham Is the first creature Nat bus
ever found'more helpless than himself
in tho world of business, and lie luit
