LIFE OF UASllil, MANNING,
From n ConipoRltor't Case 1o the b'ocrotu
ryslilp of the Treasury.
Few mon nrrivo at so prominent a position
in public life as that of Daniel Manning,
with so littlo in their upward course) that is
noteworthy, to mark tho successive stages
of progress. There is hardly an incident in
his career that calls for particular elabora
tion, or that can bo regardod as n turning
point in tho direction of his on tho whole ro
mnrkable rise.
Mr. Manning was tho son of nn Albany
baker, who half a coutury ngo lived in a
modest dwelling, still standing, noirly op
posite tho Into secretary's flno mansion, two
blocks west of tho stato capitol.
The family was in plain circumstances
when the father died, leaving three sons nnd
a daughter to bo cared for by their mother.
Of thesj John 15. Manning, n wealthy citi
zen of lluffalo nnd at one time mayor of
that city, and Maria, tho daughter, sur
vive. Daniel, tho second son in age, was
born on Aug. 10, 1S31. AVlien his father
diod ho was 0 years old. At this oarly ngo
ho beenmo connected with tho newspa
per oilieo in which ho served in every stage
of promotion from n routo carrier to presi
dent of its corporation. His first servico
wns with tho old Albany Atlas, which af
terward becanio Tho Atlas nnd Argus, nnd
later tho widely known Albany Argus.
From errand boy ho became nn nppronticoin
tho composing nnd job rooms, and by tho
time ho wns master of tho mechanical de
partment of tho establishment ho was found
to bo as apt nt getting and preparing news
for the paper as ho was at setting in types
whut others had prepared. Ho had nn ex
cellent faculty for making acquaint
ances that could contribute something to
political nows, with which tho papers
of that day abounded to tho exclusion of
moro general matters. Tliurlow Weed went
to Albany and established Tho Journal nbout
the timo Daniul Manning was born. When
the latter grow to tho estnto of usefulness a-,
a reporter and editor, Tho Journal nnd The
Argus wore in tho hottest part of their lifo
long partisan controversies. Young Mnn
ning beenmo imbued with tho spirit of the
political strifo of tho times. From loyalty
to tho Democratic side he became nn enthu
siastic partisan, nnd when ho was given tho
legislature us his field of news opera
tions, ho toon begnn to bo felt as n
young man whoso acquaintance It
was worth tho politician's whilo to culti
vate His growth in business connected
with tho paper wns under tho guidanco of
Calvin Comstock, ono uf tho proprietors of
The Argus, whilo the political branch of his
development was under tho tutelage of
AV'illium Cutsidy, tho astuto editorial poli
tician who long dominated Tho Argus ut tho
stato capital. In 1805, then 31 years old, ho
uecamo associate euitor with ilr. Cassidy,
and not long afterward ho succeeded to Mr.
Comstock's proprietary interest. Mr. Cas-
sidy's death in 1&73 left Mr. Manning at the
head of the newspaper concern, to bo re
sponsible fr Its financial prosperity and its
pollllOHl course, now well ho discharged
these duties is shown by tho businoss success
of tho pa tier.
Twoy r- after tho Tweed ring was dis
rupted In ..dvnnccu to tho front in Albany.
Mr. Cassidy died, and ho became the editor
and mnimgorof I ho Argus.
In lb(i Mr. Manning became a member of
tho Democratic state comuiltUo. Ho hud
suppoi ted Governor lilden for the nominal
tion for president, nnd his intlmato know)
edgo of tho governor's 1 ms made him one
of thu most useful men on tho com uittoo
tiU'-m.; tho c uipaigii of 1870. In 17'J ho
v ' ' ' "I'm In sl.ito coni.nitteo,
"in '. iinont as clerk.
rieuu , Kys-, ho US chairman of tho
stato pi in and hnd undisputed control
of the orga .ition. Whon ho was asked bv
Albany bankers to bo their guost at u dinner
in honor of his appointmont ns secrotnry of
tho troasury, ho declinod, saying: "I assure
you that tho happiness afforded Is all the
greater because I quite realize that tho of
fices you tender are genuine) nnd hoarty."
After Mr. Cleveland was elected president,
Mr. Mnnnlng expressed a sincere desiro to
rotlro from political activity. Two weeks
nfter tho election he said: "Tho campaign
was long aim nam lougnu i tloslro to bo re
leased from responsibility." Doing asked with
reference to tho prevailing gossip about his
going into tho cabinet, he replloj: "Such
talk is natural with people who do not
understand how a man can bo actlvo in a
successful campaign, as I have beon for the
past fow months, without oxpectlng reward
In the way of nn olllco. I have no desiro
for public oflloo. My menus nro ainplo for
tho support of "my family, my business is
sufficient to absorb my timo ns'closoly as I
uosiro to hnvo it nbsorbod, nnd I shall be con
tented to remain nt my desk hero In ths
lnk, and glido through llfo ns
prlvato c'llzon. Instead of gottlng
Into ofllce, or deeper Into oli
tics, I assure you my desiro Is to keop out of
tho former and get out of the latter." With
ruferenco to tho p.irt ho took In nominating
Mr. (Jlevoinnd, ho snid: "My nctlon nt
Chicago was guided by cold judgment.
There was not n particle of sentiment In it,
ns there might hnvo been If I hnd been urging
Mr. lilden s nomlnntlou. I wns caroful not
to say to dolpgates from other states Hint wo
could carry New York for Clovoland. I only
said that if wo could not carry it for him, I
did not know with whom w o could carry it."
Mr. Manning wns first married to Miss
Mary Littlo, in 1853. Bho died lu 1882,
leaving two sons, James Hilton Mnnnlng,
who Is tho mannging oditor of llio Argus,
and Frederick Clinton Mnnnlng, who Is nn
active youug business man in Albany.
Theso young men luhorlt in no degree whnt-
over their father's political estate. Thoj
liavo no tnsto nor inclination for publicity
beyond what Is uecetsury for Ihoir business.
Tliey nro highly esk'emed nnd popular, tho
more so because they never sought pvrsonnl
advantage from thoir father's prominence
In his pnrty. lien Mr. Manning accepted
tho position of eccretnry of tho treasury,
ho wns chairman of tho Deniccrntic
stato committee, which position ho resigned
when tho next statu convention met. Ho
was nlso president of The Argus company,
pres.di nt of tho Albany National Coinmer
cinl bank, ono of tho park commissioners of
that city, a director in the A.bany Streat
Ilnilroad company and in tho Electric Light
company, and wns a trustee in tho Fort
Ornngo -Club corporation of Albany. On
Iiov. Ill, 18S4, ho married Miss Mary Mnr-
guerito Fryer, of Albany, who becanio
prominent in i aslnngton society nt tho
beginning of tho now Democratic adminis
tration. Thu illness- of Mr. Manning dated from
March IX), ISSll, when ho was attacked by
dizziness nnd sustained n heavy fall ns ho
wus nbout to ontor his flh'o in tho treasury
building on returning from n meeting of tho
cabinet. He was taken in a enrringo to his
home, where ho remained for a considerable
timo under tho caro of physicians. Thero
were various reports ns to the nnturo of this
attack and subsequent illness, but it is now
generally agreed that tho troublo wns apo
plexy. On Juno 4, lbbli, ho placed ins resig
nation ns secretary of tho treasury in tho
hands of the president, assigning tho unpaired
condition of his health as its cause. Piesideut
Cleveland declined to accept it, and induced
the secretary to tako n long loavo of jibseuco.
On Feb. 11 Inst Mr. Manning again sent in
his resignation, to tako eiFct on March 4,
and tho president nccoptod it with regret in
n highly complimentary letter. Soon nfter
he wns relieved from his duties nt Welling
ton Mr. Manning sailed for Eurojio nnd
passed some timo nt an English watering
placo in tho hopo of benefiting his health.
After his return ho nccoptod tho presidency
of tho Western Nntionnl bank in Now York.

Cut Off His Own Feet and Saved Ills
Life.
Chicago, Dec. 31. A specinl from Well
ington to The News says: Ono of tho
strongest applications for an increased pen
sion that lias ever been presented to congress
conies from J. W. January, of Minonk, Ills.
He says ho is 10 years old, and iu tho full of
lbC'-J joined thu Fourteenth Illinois cuvnlry,
living captured in Stoneman's raid in July,
1804. Ho was kept in Andersonvillo for a
whilo and then removed to Charleston, S. C,
where ubout Feb. 15, 1SC5, he wus stricken
with swamp fever.
Ho proceeds: "I soon loirned from tho
surgeon, after a hasty examination, that I
was a victim of scurvy nnd gnngrono nnd
was removed to the gangrono hospital. My
feet and nnkles nbove tho joints presented n
livid, lifeless nppporance, nnd the flesh began
to slough oir. The surgeon, with a brutal
oath, said I would soon die. Hut I was de
termined to live, nnd begged him to cut my
feet off, tellin? him if ho would I could live.
"Ho still refused, and believing that my
lifo dejiended on tho removal of my foot, I
secured an old pocket knifo (I huvu it now in
my possession), nnd cutting tlirou.;li tho de
caying flesh and severing tho tondons, tho
feet wero soon unjointed, leaving tho bones
protruding without a covering of Mesh for
five inches.
"At tho closo of tho war I wns taken by
tho Confederates to our lines ut Wilmington,
N. C, in April, 1S05, and when weighed 1
had been reduced from 1(15 pounds (my
weight when captured) to forty-five pounds.
Every ono of the Union surgeons who saw
mo then said I could not live; but, contrary
to this belief, I did and improved.
"Six weeks after liiing reloused, whilo on
a boat en routo to New York, tho bonos of
my right limb broko off at tho onds of tho
flesh. Six weeks Inter, while in tho hospital
on David's Island, those of my left had be
como necrosed and broko off similarly. Ono
year nfter my roleaso 1 was just ablo to sit
up, and wns discharged.
"Twelvo years after my roleasi my limbs
had hculed over, and, strange to relato, no
amputation had over boen performed upon
them savo tho one I performed in prison.
There is no record of uny caso in tho world
similar to mine.
"My family consists of my ngod pnrents,
my wife, three sons an I thro) daughters,
and yours, J, W. January."
Mr. January accompanies his petition with
two photographs, ono of whichshows liini as
ho appeared after his rolonso from prison
nnd the other as ha is nt present.

run's Uffectlvo Work.
London, Dec. 24. Whenever the Irrepres
sible lloulniigi r thinks himself In danger of
bolng forgotten ho reminds the woild of his
cxlstenco by n loiter moro or less bombastic,
which, if nows hnpponed to bo scarco, Is
printed nnd commented upon by nil tho
journals of Europo. Characteristic Indeed
is his recent noto to M. Suslni, declining the
lnttcr's sent in the chamber of deputies on
the ground that in tho wnr which ho (cents
afar off Franco will noed warriors moro than
legislators,
Ilotv tho vivacious goneral will fnro nt tho
hands of tho now minister of war romalns to
bo seen. Gen. Ferron, as was to huvo boen
expected, took every opportunity to snub
and repress the lively Boulnnger, but tho
lnttcr's turn may come yet, for it Is tho gen
eral opinion that (Jen. Logerot, who replaces
Gen. Ferron, Is hardly the man for tho placo.
Though Logerot Is a bravo soldier nnd a good
g( nernl ofllccr, it is to bo doubted whether
ho will come up even to the stnnnnrd of Gon.
Ferron, who, in his short administration of
six months, got through with a grent deal of
hard work in nn unobtrusive mnnner.
Since Gon. Logerot has been nt tho lio.nl of
tho eighth army corps, however, ho has had
comparatively nothing to do and has now
succeeded to a task which rrepiiros consider
able tact to accomplish properly, and which
Gen. Ferron found to bo no easy one. Tlio
troops in the eastern departments of Franco
adjoining Germ-in territory had to bo in
creased iu number and raised to a higher
Btuto of efllciency without provoking re
monstrance fri-m tho over watchful German
authorities. To counterbalance) tho Gorman
forces eleven out of eighteen now regiments
of threo battalions, each created by tho lnw
of July 21 Inst, have been stationed in tho
cast of France.
0 'ii. Ferron was enabled to do this nt very
littlo ixtra expense by suppressing tho usual
fourth b ittahon and depot companies. He
nlso nr.s -d the i (Tectivo by distributing moio
equaliy thu reservists, so that in no company
do tiny now number moro than half tho
rank and Hie. Under tho law of July 20 ho
obtained lour new regiments of cavalry,
which will bo ausnientod to thirteen ns soon
ns tho exigencies of tho budget iermit it to
bo done. Tho French cavalry will then con
sist of liiuety-ono regiments, clos ly ap
proaching iu number that of Germany,
which nmounts to ninely-thro) regiments.

A Murderous 1 nmlly In No Man's I.anil
Kills .Many Victims.
Wichita, Kan., Doc. 24 Charles Han-
dolph, a prominent cattle owner, 1ms reached
this city from tho country known ns "No
Man's Land," or tho Pan Haudlo of Texas,
nnd tells a shocking story of crinvj committed
by n family named Kelly, which very nearly
surpassed tho bloody roconU of tho famous
Bender family in this stato.
The family is composed of iho father, B.
Kelly, his wife, daughter and a son named
Bill. They kept a ranch about ten miles
from tho town of Oak City, nnd being lo
caU'd on a traveled road it was not infre
quent that pilgrims' stopped at tho ranch for
a night's lodging or n meal.
About Nov. 1 Kelly's family suddenly loft
thoir ranch. No ono seomo 1 to know where
they went. Nothing wrong was known ot
tho family before their departure, and tho
suddonness of thoir Might caused no littlo
comment.
A week or so after thoy loft several mon
went to tho desertod ranch and made a ro
mnrk.iblo discovery. Bonontli tho housj wns
a cellar, wliero tho body of n dead man, fast
decomposing, was found. A further search
was mado of tho premise and two other
bodies wero found.
A very ingeniously arranged trap door was
discoered in tho floor of the house, through
which it is supposed tho victims wero
dropped nnd thon killed.
How many men the Kelly fumily is
guilty of having murdered is not known.
Tho modo of dealing with their victims was
strikingly similar to that of tho Bonders.
It Looks I.lko Murilor.
Philadelphia, Dec. 21. dipt. Walton,
of tho bchooner C. G. Craumer, which ar
rived at tliis port Thursday from Norfolk,
tolls a story which may result in threo of
tho crow of tho waterlogged and obandoneil
schooner D. E. Kelly Loing tried for tho
murder ot their captain on tho high seas.
On Monday last tho mate nnd crew of tlio
Cranmer bourded tlio schooner David E.
Kelly oft Capo Henlopen. Shu hnd on board
n cargo of lumber, but was wnterloggod
nnd hnd to bo abandoned. On making a
search thoy found tho body of Capt.
Taylor lying dead under tho "lazaret," nnd
nn examination rcvenltd tho fact that ho
hail been murdered. There wero finger
marks on his throat nnd sovernl bruises on
his head, Besido him lay n pistol with one
chamber empty.
When dipt. Walton's statcmont was mads
known tho agents of the illfnted schooner in
this city immediately telegraphed to Now
York to hnvo the rescuod mon placed under
arrest.
Tho government will send n cutter to look
for tho I). it E. Kelly and try and tow her
to port. She lies, it is thought, east south
east of Cnx Henlopen, No causo can be as
signed for tho murder of tho captuin oxcept
robbery.
Tho mato of tho Cramer says, judging
from the nppearanco of tho schooner's decks,
a terrific slrugglo must have taken placo.

London, Dec. 31. Although tho dnte of
Pope Iieo's golden jublleo is a wi ok distant,
Homo is crowded ns it has not be.-n n venrs
by curious travelers nnd pious piUri.os who
are anxious to witness nnd tako part in t.io
great pageant. Tho ceremonies will be
opened on Now Year's Day, when i o popo,
in full robes of office, will celebrato Ills
jubilco mass at tho high altar in tho groat
basilica of St. Peter's. It is hardly probablo
that oven in its days of pomp and power
Homo ovor beheld such a spectaclo ns
will bo provided by this event. In
niagnifleonco it will far surpass Queon
Victoria's lato jubilee. Every reigning mon
arch In Europe, w ith tho exception of tho
emperor of Hu'sia, lias joined in showering
compliments nnd costly presents on "tho
prisoner of tho Vatican." In tho enjoyment
of $15,000 000 worth of presents, nnd tho
homage 1 every other power, even Includ
ing England, which sends tho Duke of Nor
folk, tho head of tho grent house of Howard,
which was ono of tlio Stuarts, to convoy tho
congratulations and costly presents of Queen
Victoria,
Thero is a good deal of politics in tho
nttitudo of somu of tho powers toward tlio
10, 0 just at this timo. The Orleans family,
naturally enough, makes as much capital
ns possil lo out of it. Tho compto do Paris
himself sends a magnificent writing tablo,
nt which ho hopes somo day tho Homau
pontiff will sit down to formally indorse
his pretensions to tho throne of Franco
when it is ro-erectcd on tho ruins of tho
present republic. It is estimated that there
w ill bo ut least 100,000 strangers in tho
Eternal City during tho coming week. Tho
demand for tickets to witniss tho jublleo
mass is simply enormous. Not even tho
50,000 tickots ordered by tlio poio to be
isiued will satisfy the public demand, and
the Papal guards will liavo hard work to
manage tho great throng.
Tho popo himself continue in excellent
health. Ho hns just finished two important
evangelical letters which will bo promulga
ted entire during or nt tho termination of
tho jubileo exorcises. Tho more important
of tho two will deal with tlio social question
that is now agitating Europo, nnd will havo
somo very plain words to say upon Anarchy
und its onuses. His nllocution upon tho
jubilee, which has just been issued, is most
concilatorr in tone.
Tho popo Is especially pleased with tho
notice received from President Cloveland of
tho lnttcr's intention of sending him n jubileo
offering. He will probably acknowledge it
in a formal manner.
An American contingent is preparing to
d-) its full share in nssisting to t dl public
enthusiasm. Mgr. O'Connoll, tho rector of
tho American college, is arranging for nn
impressive demonstration by tho students in
tlio pope's honor. Archbishop Hynn, of
Philadelphia; Bisl'op Ryun, of Buffalo; Hov.
Dr. Bernnrd O'Heilly and a number of
American priests and heads of religious
orders have arrived here with jublleo offerj
Ings from tho United States. They will bo
finally received by tho popo on Jan. 4. ISo
foro that timonn American deputation made
up of nil the Americans now in Homo will be
organized.
It it still stated that tho popo is contem
plating tho appointment of a second Ameri
can cardinal. Whether, in caso it is made,
tho nppointi'o will bo Archbishop Williams,
of Boston, or Archbishop Feehnn, of Chi
cago, cannot bo snid. Tho appointment
may, however, bo deferred.
There nro ull sorts of rumors ns to tho
honors nnd titles that tho popo will dis
tribute during tho jubileo season, nnd all
sorts of w ires are being pulled by ambitious
aspirants. As a consequenco thero will lie
some heartburnings when the wh affair is
over.
Mr. Spurgeon's return to tho Baptist
union is expocted to tako place under an ar
rangement by which tho union engng.-s to
nlllim an exposition of ovangellcal faith
which shall bo satisfactory to the Spurgeon
ites.
A movement of Americans in Lr.ndon to
obtain a reduction of tho senteneo of Doherty
is on foot. Thi-fe is general feohng that it is
too severe, as Dohorty had no intention of
wounding Graham.
Tho queen hns really written a letter to
tlio Prmco of H ales, containing a sharp re
buke to his royal highness for meeting n
prizo fighter. Tho opponents of the ring
propose to Introduco n bill m parliament for
bidding tlio publication of reports of prizo
lights in tlio newspaper.
Smallest ill the Union,
Jeffersonvii.lk, Ind., Dee-. 24. Adjoin
ing this city is Clarksville, nn ancient town
chnrtered by Virginia. It has n peculiar
government. It is bolieve-d to be no part of
Indiana, but rather an inde)cndciit district.
It contains 1,000 acres and it, population is
several thousand, Tho people there are in
dignant nt the encroachments of the state,
which has built a prison within its corpora
tion nnd closed a number of streots. A
movement is em foot to orgnnizo, send n del
egate to Washington nnd demand recogni
tion us n territory. Tho district would be
the smallest in the Union.
