the audience was toward temperance and
orderliness, and violence was repeatedly
deprecated. The audience, although
deeply in earnest, showed no disposition
to resort to lawlessness to check the threat

JVIHiE THI'RMAX'S FUXERAL.
Simple Serrire* and a I'rvfuaion of
floral Tributes.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. Dec. 14.— The brief
and simple burial services of Allen G.
Thurman were held at the family residence
this morning. Many more were present
than could be admitted to the commodious :
house, notwithstanding the private char- j
acterof the funeral.
A profusion of flowers covered the space |
about the coffin, which was placed in an
archway leading from the residence to j
that occupied by his son, Allen W. Thur- j
man. At the request of the family it was j
not disclosed from whom these flowers
came, but many were sent from friends
outside the State. Among the early
arrivals was Governor McKinley.
Among other prominent persons present
were ex-Governor Campbell and Hon. L.
T. Neal. The services at the house were
conducted by Rev. J. L. Grover, himself
89 years old and a close friend of the de
ceased. Rev. Mr. Grover officiated at tne
funeral of Mrs. Thurman, '.hree years ago,
and the service deeply impressed Judge
Thurman, who at that time requested that
Key. Grover repeat it at his own.
After all those present had withdrawn
and left the family alone with Mr. Grover
he again offered prayer. The family hay- j
ing withdrawn the residence was thrown
upon. Those before unable to gain admit
tance were permitted to pass through the
halls and view the remains. Rev. Mr.
(i rover announced that the services would
be concluded privately at the grave by
\lc\-. E. L. Rexford oi the Universalist
Church. The remains were interred in
Greenlawn Cemetery by the side of taose
of his wife.
MIST SITPORT HER MOTHER.
Suit Against a Wealthy Society Leader
of Scbrasha.
LINCOLN, Nebk., Dec. 14.— Rebecca At
kins, a widow of 63 years, has brought suit
against her daughter, Mrs. D. G. Courtney,
for maintenance. The suit is the first of
the kind in the State under an old law
compelling sons or daughters of means to
provide for penniless parent?. Years ago
Mrs. Atkins secured a divorce from, her
husband, who left all his property, valued
at $150,000, to his daughter. Mrs. Court
ney is prominent and her husband is also
wealthy, being well known over the State
as a lawyer.
POSTAL CLERKS BENEFIT
It Was Intended to Raise Money
to Lobby at Wash
ington.
But This Purpose Was Considered in
Conflict With the Postmaster-
General's Order.
CHICAGO, 111.. Dec. 14.— Central Music
Hall was rilled to-night with a fashionable
audience which enjoyed a literary and
musical entertainment for the benefit of
the Chicaso Postoffice Clerks' Association.
More than local interest was manifested
in the event, which is of an annual char
acter, because of the presence of Post
ma.-ters Bayton of New York, Carr of
Philadelphia, Enright of Detroit and other
heads of the Western postoffices, and also
because the original object oi the enter
tainment was to raise money to pay the
expenses of a Washington lobby from
among the iocaJ postoffice employes to
promote the passage of the classification
bill.
This purpose was considered in conflict
with the recent order of Postmaster-Gen-
eral Wilson against employes being sent
to Washington for lobbying work.
Postmaster Hesing, who contributed to
the entertainment with an able address on
the Chicago Postofiice and the postoffice
in general in its historical aspect, said it
was not the intention to use the proceeds
to send a committee to the capital, as that
would be usurping the functions of the
National association, but intimated that if
the local association wanted to hire an at
torney or other agent outside the service
to look after their interests at Washington
he did not see how the Postmaster-Gen-
eral could interfere. He cited the case of
the president of the Railway Clerks' As
sociation, who had resigned his position
of clerk and the presidency, but was being
paid to represent the association at Wash
ington. Mr. Hesing added that there was
no disposition to defy or evade the new or-
der, which was not objectionable.
SIX CRUSHED TO DEATH
Five Men Instantly Killed and
One Fatally Hurt in
Kentucky.
They Were Sitting Under a Projecting
Rock Which Fell Without
Warning Them.
MIDDLESBOROUGH, Kv.,Dec. 14. --Six
eaction men in the employ of the Virginia
Coal and Iron Company met their death
near Big Stone Gap shortly after noon to
day.
They were working on the Virginia Coal
and Iron Company's road, that runs from
Appalachia to Pioneer, and had stopped
at the side of the road, under an overhang
ing stratum of rock, to eat their dinners,
where they had built a fire.
The section foreman, Mercer, stopped
from under the cliff to get a drink. He
had been gone but an instant when the
rocks overhead gave way, falling on the
remaining six men, instantly killing live
and fatally injuring one. Those killed
are: P. L. Huffman, Big Stone Gap; Dan
Payne, Pioneer; George W. Beater, Rich
mond, Va. ; John Brown and Bill Saylor.
It is believed that the lire, which had been
burninp under the cliff all morning, soft
enod the earth surrounding them and
caused it to give way.
Robbed a Ticket Office.
DANVILLE, Ky., Dec. 14.— A bold rob
bery took place at 1 :30 this morninc, when
a couple of men armed with revolvers
forced an entrance to the Cincinnati South
ern ticket office and compelled the night
operator, C. L. Vallingham, to unlock the
cash-drawer and give them its contents.
The drawer contained only about $12, but
the robbers evidently thought there was
more.
Could Hot Agree.
CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 14.— After being
out nineteen hours the jury in the case of
Ketcbam against the Chicago and North
western Railroad Company for damages,
on account of having been blacklisted for
participation in the big A. K. U. strike,
toid Judge Burke, at the opening of court
to-day, that there was no possibility of an
agreement, and they were discharged.

SEVERAL NOTABLE INCREASES.
A Distribution That Brings the Pa
cific Coast and Northwest Into
Closer Touch.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 14.-The
Republican caucus committee charged
with the duty of making the majority as
signments to the Senate committees held
a protracted meeting this afternoon and
adjourned until Monday, when the final
report was drawn for submission to the
caucus to be held Tuesday immediately
after the Senate adjourns. Additional
chairmanships were agreed upon to-day as
follows :
Civil Service and Retrenchment, Fritch
ard of North Carolina.
Education and Labor, Shoup of Idaho.
Enrolled Bills, Sewell of New Jersey.
To Examine tne Several Branches of the
Civil Service, Peffer of Kansas (Pop.).
Improvement of the Mississippi River,
Nelson of Minnesota.
Indian Depredations, Wilson of Wash

(Pop.).

and Routes to the Seaboard, Quadro-cen
tennial, National Banks and to investi

From Nebraska.
been definitely determined, all of them
being set apart for the new men. The old
Quadro-centennial Committee has had its
name changed to that of International
Exp ositions and will be continued as one
of the select committees. Proctor, who is
the ranking member of the select Com
mittee to Establish the University of the
United States will keep that place tem
porarily, in addition to his other chair
manship, until the arrival of the Utah
Senators, when he will give way to one of
them.
Owing to the increase in the number of
Senators the committee has increased sev
eral of the committees in size, notably
those on Appropriations and Finance.
There is no vacancy in the Committee on
Appropriations, but it is increased from
nine to twelve. This enables Brice, of the
minority, to remain, and adds the names
of -Quay of Pennsylvania, Pettigrew of
South Dakota and Perkins of California.
This more equitable distribution brings
the Northwest and the Pacific Coast into
closer touch with this all-powerful com
mittee and removes it from the charge of
being a close corporation. This will also
be likeiv to relieve much of the pressure
recently brought to bear for the distribu
tion of the various appropriation bills
among the different committees.
The Committee on Finance is likewise
increased from eleven to thirteen by the
substitution of Daniel for the Democratic
vacancy caused by McPherson's retire
ment and the addition of Platt and Wol
cott for the Republicans. The Finance
Committee was a silver committee in the
last Congress, but will be a most pro
nounced one in this Congress.
Thurston, who is just entering upon his
first term, secures a fine berth a 9 a mem
ber of the Judiciary Committee, he being
the only prominent lawyer among the new
Senators. The addition of Lodge and
Cameron to the Committee on Foreign
Relations has already been announced.
The chairmanship of the Committee on
Enrolled Bills, assigned to Sewell, is the
place he held when he was in the Senate
before. Elkins, Secretary of War under
President Harrison, gets an assignment
on the Committee on Military Affairs and
another on the Committee on Commerce,
which handles the river and harbor bill in
the Senate. Davis of Minnesota is also
transferred to the Committee on Judi
ciary. The select committee appointed
during the last Congress to investigate the
Ford.'s Theater disaster will not be dis
turbed, but will be left under the control
of Harris, where it now is. The work of
this committee will soon be completed.
Warren of Wyoming, who was a Senator
iluringthe Fifty-second Congress and was
absent from the Fifty-third by reason of
the failure of the Legislature of his State
to elect, will probably be given his old
chairmanship— that of Irrigation ai.a
Reclamation of Arid Lands. He would
have preferred Mines and Mining, as he
was the ranking meniber, but it has been
decided to leave that with Stewart. Gear
of lowa may get the Pacific Railroads.

dries of the Pennsylvania Railroad have
shut down in consequence of the lack of
water. The Edison Electric-light Com
pany has also been compelled to close.
Other departments of the railroad shops
may also shut down. The freezing of all
the streams is the cause of the scarcity.

Changes Ordered at the Presidio — Importa
tion of British Columbia Cattle — San
Pedro Harbor — Utah's Statehood.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 14.-Cap
tain J. Estcourt Sawyer, assistant quarter
master, will be relieved from duty as post
quartermaster at the Presidio of San Fran
cisco by the commanding officer of that
post upon receipt by him of this order,
and will then proceed to Buffalo, N. V.,
flnd relieve Captain William W. Robinson
Jr., assistant quartermaster, of his duties
at that place, reporting by letter to the
commanding general of the Department of
the East. Captain Robinson, upon being
relieved by Captain Sawyer, will report in
person to the commanding general of the
Department of California for assignment
to duty as post quartermaster at the Pre
sidio.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin, after con
sulting with the Secretary of Agriculture,
has instructed the Collector of Customs at
Tort Townsend that the importation of
cattle from British Columbia at Oroville
cannot be allowed without subjecting the
animals to quarantine and inspection by

Department.
Senator \V bite says Senator Elkins.who is
interested in the Los Angeles Terminal
Railroad with R. C. Kerens and others,

TO SUCCEED MR. LEAKE.
Russ Stephens Will Secure
the Postmastership of
Sacramento.
On More Than One Occasion He Has
Made Efforts to Secure the
Position.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec 14.— There
will be a sharp fight over the Postmaster
ship at Sacramento, which it is expected
the incumbent, Leake, will resign.
The possibilities are that liuss Stephens
will be appointed. The other candidate is
Thomas Fox, agent at Sacramento of the
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company.
Russ Stephens was a candidate for this
place when Leake was appointed, but
Leake was recommended by Representa
tive Caminetti, and took the plum from
Stephens after a bitter contest. Stephens
was a delegate to the convention that
nominated Cleveland, is well liked by the
President and, inasmuch as he was dis
appointed before, it is altogether likely
that he will be successful this time.
Reprtsentative Grove Johnson of that
district said to-night that, so far as his in
fluence went, he would exert it in favor of
Fox, though he was not sure that he would
have any voice in the matter, but tho ap
pointment might be dictated by Senator
White.
Senator White said to the GaUi corre
spondent: "The first intimation that
Leake would resign came to me four or
five days ago, and since then telegrams
have been pouring in from friends of the
candidates at a lively rate. I do not re
gard it as absolutely settled that Leake
will resign. He wired me on Thursday he
had received a very flattering business
offer and thought of resigning, but said he
would let me know later. Until 1 receive
something definite from him I shall take
no action in behalf of any candidate."
Senator White will, however, recommend
Russ Stephens, and if Leake resigns
Stephens will be immediately appointed.
RUN DIN BY A TRAIN
An Accident on a Trolley-Car in
Which Death and Injury-
Were Caused.
The Motorman Failed to Heed Re
peated Whistling at the
Crossing.
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 14.— The Texas
express on the Union Pacific, Denver and
Gulf Railroad crashed into a trolley-car on
the University Park line at 10:40 o'clock
this mornine, wrecking both car and train,
instantly killing the motorman, Curtis E.
Wilbur, and seriously injuring John
Shearing, the trolley conductor. Two
girls going to the university in the trolley
car were slightly injured. Engineer M. E.
Shannon, Fireman Gus Moline, Conductor
Fred Schmidt and Brakeman J. M. Essing
ton were injured in the wreck, the latter
seriously.
The incoming express whistled for the
crossing and at the time the electric-car j
was seen rapidly approaching the railroad
track. The engineer supposed it would
stop as usual, but approaching nearer he
noticed that the motorman was sitting
down unconscious of the moving train.
The engineer again whistled warning and
applied his brakes. The motorman was
seen to jump to his lever and endeavor to
stop, then apparently he concluded to cross
ahead of the train.
Tne locomotive struck the car, whirled
it entirely around, catching the motorman
in the wreck and throwing the conductor
into the air. The shock of the collision
derailed the locomotive and it fell on its
side, the baggage-car rolled over in an
opposite direction and the day coach lost
its front trucks.
Miss Olive McDowell, daughter of Chan
cellor McDowell of the University of
Denver, and Miss June Brown, daughter
of J. S. Brown, a wholesale grocer, were
the only passengers in the car, which was
almost completely demolished. They es
caped with slight bruises, but the shock
has completely prostrated them. Brake
man Essington was hurled violently from
the coach platform, sustaining a broken
ankle ana internal injuries. It was after
ward discovered that the motorman had a
bottle containing whisky in his pocket,
which may account for his inattention to
the crossing and the warning whistle.

Manley and Boutelle Ready

Presidency.
ALLISON'S MEN IN LINE.
National Republican Leaders Dis
cussed Plans for the Con
vention.
DICK CROKER AND TAMMANY.
Mission of the " Plain Citizens " Who
Propose to Provide Work for
the Unemployed.
NEW YORK, N. V., Dec. 14.— Joseph
H. Manley of Maine, the chairman of the
Republican National Executive Commit
tee, arrived in this city la3t evening. He
was accompanied by Congressman Bou
telle of the same State. Their mission is
to Dush the candidacy of Speaker Reed
for the Presidency. Neither Manley nor
Boutelle would talk about Heed's pros
pects.
Henry L. Swords, sergeant-at-arms of
the Republican National Committee,
started for St. Louis yesterday. Before he
went he said that he was going to engage
headquarters for the National Committee;
also to secure accommodations for the
friends of Senator Allison of lowa and
apartments for Allison's headquarters as a
candidate, as well as rooms for Senator
Quay and the Pennsylvania delegation and
for the delegations of New Jersey and Con
necticut during the convention.
Many prominent National Republican
Leaguers were in conference in the Fifth
avenue Hotel last night. They talked over
plans for the coming convention of the
league in Milwaukee. Originally it was
intended to call it for some time in Aug
ust, but since St. Louis and June 1G were
selected as the place and date for the Pres
idential convention a strong sentiment
has been developed for fixing the date of
the league convention just before or just
after that to be held at St. Louis. This
would obviate the necessity for delegates
from the far East and West maidng two
trips.
Richard Croker will not return to Eng
land until the spring, in time for the spring
races and the BOcial season in London,
which follovs Lent. He has opened his
house in this city and is busying himself
witli the work of reorganizing Tammany
Hall. From these facts it is taken for
granted that he has not yet given up poli
tics.
Among politicians the general belief is
that Croker has hopes yet that William C.
Whitney will be the Democratic candidate
for tne Presidency, and if he is Mr. Croker
will retain control of Tammany and do
what he can to help secure his nomination
and election.
Croker has added to his racing stable a
string of thoroughbreds, for which he paid
fjr s ooo.
There met last nieht in the Broadway
Central Hotel a number of persons calling
themselves "Plain Citizens." They are
advocates of a sixteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States. This
provides for the creation of a National de
partment "to procure reasonably remun
erative employment for every American
citizen who may apply to the department
for work, and also to adopt such measures
throughout the land that shall give to
every child born in the United States a
fair opportunity of obtaining sufficient
food, clothing, shelter, education and en
joyment."
The purposes of the "Plain Citizens"
were explained by Dr. Stephen H. Em
mens of Amador City, Cal. Dr. Emmens
is the inventor of a high explosive known
us Emmensite, which he claims the United
States Government has adopted and is
using in its coast defenses. He also
claims to be an editor of the London
(Eng.) Standard, and to have published
several books. Dr. Emmens said that the
project was not Utopian, as had been de
clared by President Roosevelt of the Po
lice Board. He asserted that in an inter
view Roosevelt had said that "Men have
no right to employment."
Dr. Emmens declared that the United
States is losine $3,000,000,000 a year
through its idle people. He says that
counting $4 as the profit of a working
man's day and $1200 a year as the prolit of
his year, and admitting that 2,000,000 per
sons — the number according to the census
— are out of work, there is, therefore,
$2,400,000,000 lost in that way.
It costs the United States $000,000,000
each year to support these idle men. He
claims that the adoption of the sixteenth
amendment will save this money for the
United States and provide employment for
the idle people.
Dr. Emmen3 also claims that the "Plain
Citizens" are not theorists, but have a
practical plan. He claims that they are
ready to put forth the plan of the iines on
which the proposed National department
would be drawn, by which 10,000 families
in the slums of New York City alone could
be made "happy, self-supporting people."
The bill last night at the Metropolitan
was one of the most interesting and varied
of the season. Ii offered that exquisite
trifle by Gounod, "Philemon et Baucis,"
Ambroise Thomas' greatest achievement,
the mad scene In "Hamlet," and Mas
cagni's masterpiece, "Cavalleria Rusti
cana."
Here were three triumphs of modern
composition interpreted in the best method
of modern art. Mme. Engle and M. Plan
con sang in the first work, Calve repeated
her marvelous achievement in the second,
and the third was interpreted by Calve,
Mantelli, Ancona and Cremonini.
This seems to be a good chance to speak
a good word in favor of Mine. Englcj The
pretty prima donna from London has had
little opportunity to declare her quality to
our audiences. Her voice is not of great
power, but it possesses delightful melody
and technique, and her acting in the Bizet
and Gounod roles has shown fine artistic
instinct. We have never had a better
Baucis than this lady was last night.
After the pastoral beauty of "Philemon
et Baucis" here comes Mile. Calve in the
mad ecstasy of Ophelia. Ophelia is the
latest but not least famous role that the
fiery French woman has added to her
repertoire. She electrified the audience by
her initial American performance of the
character last week, and last night Calve
deepened this impression by a superb per
formance. She came to the mad scene
fresh in body, mind and throat and went
mad lyrically and dramatically at the rise
of the curtain with a beauty of voice and
completeness of tragic art that made the
audience almost as crazy with enthusiasm
as the prima donna pretended to be in
character.
It is a wonderful performance, this
Ophelia of Calves, a close simulation of
insanity joined to consummate skill in
vocalization and tragic dignity in acting.
The role was one of Melba's best efforts
last season, but when she returns to us in
January the Australian diva must look to
her laurels, for Calve has apparently
settled it in her mind that she ia to be the
only sweetheart of an operatic Hamlet
this winter.
Society people and the jewelers who
supply their diamonds are interested con
siderably in the prospective sale at auction
of the jewels in the possession of Mrs.
Leland Stanford of California. Some
authorities aver that these jewels are
valued at not less than $2,000,000, and
among them are some famous gerna for
which high prices will be paid. It was
said a day or two ago that a firm of jew
elers was preparing a catalogue of Mrs.
Stanford's jewels.
The local jewelers who have heard that
this sale will take place do not like the
prospect of diamonds worth $2,000,000
being placed upon the market at once,
especially those so well known as are the
diamonds in Mrs. Stanford's possession.
A reporter saw several jewelers yester
day and they confirmed the report that
the jewels were to be put <ipon the market.
Said one downtown dealer: "It has been
rumored for some time that a private lot
of jewels was to be sola at auction some
time this winter. Of course we do not like
it, because the society people will flock to
the sale and pay large prices for these
jewels just because they belonged to the
widow of Senator Stanford."
Among the Stanford diamonds are the
gems once owned by yueen Isabella of
Spain, which were sold a few 3 - ears ago in
Paris. It is not known when the diamonds
will be sold. It was thought by some
jewelers that after all the sales would be
made privately, because better prices
might be obtained than if they were sold
at auction.
GROVER CLEVELAND SAFE
The President Emerged From the
Storm With a Lot of
Ducks.
Embarked With His Party on the Ten
der Maple for the National
Capital.
NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 14. — President
Cleveland is to-night on Chesapeake Bay
on his way to Washington. With him are
Dr. O'Reilly, Commander Wildes and
Lighthouse Inspector Lamberton and four
big strings of ducks.
The Presider t and his party left Hatteras
early this morning on the Violet and ar
rived at Elizabeth City, N. C, at 5 p. m.
This route was selected owing to the fact
that the Violet could not come through
the canal, the water having gone down to
a depth of only five feet. At Elizabeth
City a special train was secured over the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad, and the
party left there at 7 o'clock, arriving in
Berkeley, a suburb of Norfolk, at exactly
9:36 o'clock.
At the railroad wharf tne lighthouse
tender Maple was waiting, and it took, just
twelve minutes to transfer the ducks and
luggage of the party to the Maple, which
cast off her lines and started for the Na
tional capital at 9:48 o'clock.
The President has had fairly good luck,
but has experienced some rough weather.
He says he has heard of ex-Senator Thur
man's death with deep regret, but declined
to talk of affairs of state. He will reach
Washington Sunday night.
President Cleveland's arrival soon be
came known at Elizabeth City, and hun
dreds flocked to the wharf to shake hands
with him. A large number of the preach
ers of the Methodist conference called and
paid their respects. Cleveland was look
ing well and appeared to be in excellent
health and spirits, despite the bad weather,
which prevented his enjoying his ducking
on Currituck Sound. As the crowd left the
wharf three cheers weie proposed for the
President and given heartily.

Fickle Conduct of the Millionaire's
Wife an Important Part in
the Prosecution.
"BOWLING GREEN, Mo., Dec. 14.— Mrs.
John K. Hayward of Chicago was the
first witness examined in the Stillwell
murder trial to-day. She swore that one
day in June, prior to the murder, while
visiting at Hannibal she called at Dr.

waiting in the park opposite the doctor's
office for his return she saw him come out
of the door and walk away. Mrs. Stillwell
also came out shortly after and went in
another direction. The witness caugbt up
with her and accused her of having been
at Dr. Hearne's and Mrs. Stillwell ad
mitted it. That night she slept with Mrs.
Stillwell and the famous conversation
took place which is cutting so important
a figure in this trial.*
Mrs. Stillwell told her guest she was un
happy on account of her relations with Dr.
Hearne and would gladly break them off.
She said she could see only trouble ahead,
but that Dr. Hearne had such influence
over her that she did not seem to be able
to break away from him.
"She asked," continued the witness, "if
1 would go to Dr. Hearne and ask him to
have no more to do with her; that if he
would give her up she would give him up.
I consented. The next day at noon Dr.
Hearne came to the Stillwell house. I saw
him in the parlor.
"'I understand,' he said to me, 'that you
know how matters stand between us.'
"I tola him I did. Dr. Hearne then said:
'Well, the fact is, I want Mrs. Stillwell to
get a divorce and marry me.'
"He said that if she got a divorce she
would get alimony. I told him that Amos
Stiliwell was not the kind of a man ever to
give his wife alimony. 'Do you really be
lieve that?' he asked. 'Yes,' I said.
'Well,' was his answer, 'I could have
Amos Stillwell slugged for $2 50.'
"Dr. Hearne also spoke to me about my
knowledge of the fact tbat Mr. Stillwell had
come home from St. Louis one night and
found him in the house. 'Suppose Amos
Stillwell had seen you what would you
have done?' I asked. 4 i would have shot
him,' he said. 'Then you would have been
hanged for murder,' I told him. His
reply was that no one would suspect him;
that the public would think a burglar
did it."
At the close of that conversation Dr.
Hearne declared that he would not give
Mrs. Stillwell up, and when the witness
suggested to him that she might tell all he
said that he would kill any one who stood
in his way.
in nis way.
Cross-examination did not shake her tes«
timony.
Considering the day's developments it
looks darker for the defendants now than
on any day since the trial began.
