Moulves, thefani ous two-year old, went a mile in 2:10}^. Ex Representative Davidson of Flor ida has arrived in Washington, bringing documents which he will use in his con test against Call for the seat in the United States Semite. Davidson said that his contention was that in electing the United States senators, a quorum of each branch of the state legislature was necessary, and he would prove the sen ate lacked two of a quorum when ballot ing began on the senatorship. Ex-Senator Palmer, president of the national commission of the World's Columbian exposition, litis submitted to President Harrison the report of the commission in regard to the progress and condition of exposition work. It concludes with a strong endorsement of the hoard of control in applying for a loan of 80,000,(XX) by the general govern ment. This rejuirt and the report of the Ijoard of lady managers, previously submitted to the president, will form the basis of a special message to con gress some time in December. Dan Daly, the well-kHown middle weight, died at St. Vincent's hospital in St. Louis Saturday night of pneumonia. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1862, and was brought to America when an infant. His first tight was with Frank Glover in Chicago, and it ended in a draw. During his pugilistic career lie defeated Tom Lynch, Jim Donnelly, Artie Flint, Ed Kelly and others. His tight with Kelly lasted four hours and twelve minutes and was one of the long est contests under the marquis of Queensherry rules on record. Daly leaves a widow and two children. In the case of tlie Sugar Refining company of Baltimore, which Judge Gresham has had under advisement for the past six months, he has just handed down a decision in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of 844,241. Special interest was manifested in the case by insurance men, as it was a test case for the form of policy issued by the casualty com pany. All kind of accidents to employes in the nature of boiler explosions, etc., were covered by the policy. The acci dent which caused the death of the sugar refining company's employes, and for whose deaths the company claimed 8100,000 from the casualty company, arose from an explosion of dust. The cause was said to be spontaneous combustion. Because of the nature of the cause of the accident the causalty company denied the sugar refining company's right to recover. Kansas City was thrown into a state of excitement Friday evening by the an nouncement that the two-year old son of David T. Beals, a prominent capitalist and president of the Union National bank, had been kidnapped by a female servant in the house. Mr. Beals is an elderly man, and, the child being the - , , , , . vo , ln gest, was regarded by both parents * m« . « i with great favor. The servant had given the name of Lizzie Smith and said that she was a native of Illinois, and came recently from Nebraska. Friday afternoon Mr. Beals offered a reward of 85,000 for the return of his child and no questions asked. All day Friday the police worked every possible avenue, but could find nc clue, and the parents were nearly prostrated, neither having taken any rest since it disappeared. Friday night a man appeared at the mansion. He was dressed like a day laborer and wore a false face and wig. When Beals came to the door the man told him he was a detective, that he had found the \Â 77 \ç> Smith or King, and abdUCtress, LilZZie i. mil , ik er accomplices; that they demanded . 820, OCX! ransom and he was prepared to ' ~ deliver the child for that amount. Beal declined to pay the sum and stuck to the original offer of 85,000. After much par leying it was finally agreed that the de tective would deliver the child for that amount. Beals told the police he had pledged his honor that the man should not be arrested while engaged in carry ing out his part of the contract and ordered them not interfere. At ten o'clock Friday night the man returned with the child and handed it over upon receipt of 85,000 in bank notes. The child was Bleeping soundly, safe and well. The joy of the parents knew no bounds. When a representative of the Associated press arrived at the house the child was awake and in the arms of his father, while the mother stood by fondly watching him. The child, when asked who carried him away, said "Liz zie r but all he knew further was that he of □ to by 291 11, of He is end of of ing of um am of in of had Ixeen "riding." Mrs. King, the ab duetress, was arrested about midnight, but refused to talk. It is stated Secretary John T. Dickin son, of the world's fair national commis sion, has resigned, to take effect Jan. 1. He has been offered the general man agership of the Texas, Arkansas à Pa cific road. Secretary Foster still continues to improve slowly, but does not gain in strength as rapidly as his friends ex pected. He will go to some point in the south early next week for a fexv day's rest before resuming his official duties. The annual report of the first assist ant postmaster general shows that the adjustment of presidential postmasters' salaries makes a total of 2.1XÏ4 presi dential offices July 1, 1801, a net in crease of 252. The total gross receipts of these offices have increased 84,875,606 over the previous year. □ As Dr. John Hall, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterain church of New York city was passing from the church to the parsonage, adjoining, just after closing the morning services Sunday, a man named John G. Rath, a German, aged 45, fired three shots at the reverend gentleman, none of the shots striking Dr. Hall. Rath's mind is deranged, Tlie west bound passenger for San Francisco, which left St. Louis Sunday night at 8:25 was held up and robbed by six masked men, eight miles from Glendale, Mo. The desperadoes stopped the train by intimidating the crew, and secured 820,(XX) belonging to the Adams Express company. They broke into the mail car and rilled the jioucheB of all the registered mail. A dispatch from Knoxville, Tenn.' says: The mines at Oliver Springs are now idle because the white miners have struck. The cause of the strike was the issuance of warrants for ten of them for participating in the outrage against the colored miners who were driven from their homes by the white men. There has been a regular reign of terror for the part few days. The through Texas express, which was robbed Monday night at Glendale, Mo., reached Paris, Texas, Wednesday night. The express messenger who relieved Messenger Mulrenen says the haul made by the robbers may run up into hundreds of thousands of dollars. The run was a heavy one, as at this season the southern banks are getting large sums for cotton payments. A dispatch from Manzanillo, Mexico, states that the American steamer Rose ville arrived there and reports passing the wreck of the brig Taniti at sea. She was floating bottom up and the captain of the Roseville says she must have been c^ftlzed. The rigging had been cut away on the port side, appear* ently to prevent this. The wreck must have happened at least a month ago. Besides the islanders the vessel carried officers and crew, 21 in numljer, making 291 on board. Justice Woodman of Chicago, liefere whom the cases of the anarchists, w ho were arrested at a meeting held on Nov 11, are being tried, on Wednesday de cided that the assemblies raided were unlawful ones. He fined the leaders 8100 each and the others 810 each. These fines, at the instance of the city attorney, were at once suspended. This action was presumably taken for the purpose of averting an appeal to the higher courts. It is understood, how ever, that the defendants will appeal, nevertheless. John Howard Parnell, eldest brother of the late Irish leader, arrived in New York Tuesday on his way to Ireland* He will be accompanied by his mother' Parnell's mission to Ireland is one which is destined to bring him into much prominence. As the head of the Parnell family, he is desirous of bringing to an end the factional spirit, which relies upon his brother's name for Jits exist ence. It is his purpose to open nego tiations for the reunion of all Irish members under the leadership of Wil liam O'Brien, or some equally acceptable man. A special meeting of the city council of Omaha Monday night broke up in a row. There has been bad blood for some time between Councilmen Specht, Mori arity and Blumer, on account of charges of boodling. After words, Blumer grasped Specht by the throat, and the latter retaliated with a sledge-hammer like blow, which drew blood from Blu mer's mouth. The mes grasped and fell when Moriarity rushed up and began kicking Specht, One of the spectators objected to his kicking the man when down, and when Moriarity did not desist the objector laid the belligérant low with a blow which cut an ugly gash in Moriarity's chin. Dr. Fuller, Cyrus W. Field's attend ing physician, issued a bulletin Wednes day saying that his patient's condition somewhat better. The condition of Mrs. Lindley, Field's daughter, re mains about the same. After having tried to commit suicide Edward M. Field has been declared insane and Wednesday was placed in a private asyl um near Mt. Vernon. It is now known that Eld ward Field not only robbed and deceived his partners, but stole every cent his father had. Mr. Field realized the fact that he was penniless in his old age, for as he lay on his death bed Wednesday he said to an old friend: "I am as poor today as when I came into the world." A special dispatch from Wilson A. T., says that the Apaches are on the war path and have committed several depre dations. B. H. Daniels of Ontario, Canada, was killed and Major Wn. Downing, who lives thirty miles south of this place, was wounded by Indians in ambush. Robbery was not the object of the murderers. It is the season when the redskins become uneasy and the dispatch says it will be well for all citi zens to look well to their arms before more livee are wantonly taken. The military are taki n g every precaution to defend the settlers. Great excitemeut exists among the settlers, who fear a raid from Chircolura mountains. 1 he Indian hostiles are moving south. In a division of Iter majesty's high court of justice liefore Justice Butt, there was commenced Tuesday a case which excites much comment, partic ularly in the higher walks of English life. This case is the application of the Countess Russel for a judicial sepera tion from her husband, Earl Russel, grandson of the great Lord John Russel, on the ground of cruelty. The troubles l>etween the earl and his wife have been public talk for months past. Harry Martin, the "Black Pearl" of Minneapolis, and Ed Phinney, lietter known as "Benny" of Boston, colored middleweight», fought to a finish at the California Athletic club in Saw Fran cisco Monday night for a perse of 81,500. The men slugged at close quarters for the first three rounds, "The Pearl" scor ing two knock-downs in the first, one nearly knocking "Benny" out. "Benny retaliated by knocking "The Pearl" down in the second. "Benny" seemed deter mined to make it a waiting light, and at the end of the thirteenth honors were aboutireven. The "Pearl" was knocked out in the twenty-fifth round. A special to the New York World from Boston says the illness of Gen. Butler is very serious. Every effort has been made to keep the matter secret, but it can now be safely said that the gravest doubts of his recovery are entertained by those in a position to know most about his condition, some of them assert that he will never again be able to leave his house. The general who is lying at his home in Lowell, took a severe cold a few weeks ago. He has l>een under the constant care of physicians ever since. He sits up for a while every day and then he lies down and tries to sleep. But he gets no better from day to day. ItlHiue i* All Kiglit. The Philadelphia Press has the fol lowing to say of Blaine's health: To consult his medical adviser was the prime reason for Blaine's trip to Phila delphia. Blaine learned that he was in better health and strength now than for four years hack, and a year hence he will be stronger than now. It was further learned that he is as good a man physically at 61 years (Mr. Blaine's age) as anybody else of like age. The physi cian said: Mr. Blaine is a well man. For his years he is sturdy. When I began to attend him last spring he was suffering from acute illness, was in a very had condition and completely broken down by overwork. I did not know what the outcome would be. Now there is no doubt in my mind, for his health is ex cellent. He is back tohisnormal weight, has a good appetite and sleeps well. He has become well by the exercise of com mon sense, sot by medicines. At Bar Harbor he went out riding so far each day, walked a certain distance and played hand ball a fixed length of time. Before his illness he waB not a man who would take much exercise. Now he has grown to like it. If Mr. Blaine continues to take care of himself I see no reaon why he should not live many years longer. He has entered upon a rijie age, being 61 years of age, and takes pleasure in hie present strength. H»me»teail Kiitri«-». The following letter from Commis sioner Carter will be of interest to home stead settlers: "John W. Eddy, Helena, Montana.—Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of November 6, 1891, in which you state that as you understand section 2.289, act March 3, 1891, a person may enter eighty acres of surveyed land, and later on when the adjoining township is surveyed, enter an "additional home stead" for the remaining eighty acres upon which a party has settled, instanc ing, as a case in point, John Trodick, who has been settled upon SE % SW 3-4 SW l 4 SE l 4, section35,township 15 N, range 4 W, the former township being sur veyed and the latter unsurveyed. You desire to know if he can file upon the eighty acres of surveyed land now, and take the other eighty as an additional homestead when surveyed. In reply, you are advised that section 2.289, Revised statutes as amended by act of March 3, 1891, provides that such persons as are qualified shall he entitled to enter one-quarter section, or a less quantity of unappropriated public land etc., and it is held by this office that if a party chooses to take a less quantity of land than 160 acres under this section, he thereby exhausts his homestead right. The provision of said section which states that "every person owning and residing on land may, under the provi sions of this section, enter other land lying contiguous to his land, which shall not, with the land already ownsd and occupied, exceed in the aggregate 160 acres," applies only to persons who are qualified to make homestead entries, and a person who has made a homestead entry since March 2, is not so qualified. The ownership contemplated by such provision is the title obtained by some other means than under the homestead law. Mr. Trodick is not bound to enter the tracts of land|claimed by him until the 1 ind in Tp. 14 N., R. 4 W., is s urveyed and the plat thereof filed in the local office, and should he enter the surveyed lind, it would lie a waiver of his right to take the number of acres to which he is entitled, and it would be held that he had exhausted his homestead right.

A meeting of the business men of Cas tle was had Friday evening to listen to the report of the committee appointed to view the route for a wagon road be tween Castle and Neihart. The Trib une has the following to say regarding the meeting: Mr. West, who volun r . Hive his services gratuitously to view this proposed route, said that he spent four days this week engaged in this work; that he traveled from Black hawk to the summit. which was within six miles of King's hill, where this pro posed route from ('a.tle would inter cept the White Sulphur Springs road leading to Neil.art; that the route he traveled over possessed a good natural road, and that at a probable cost of 81.(XX> it could he put in good order to over. He further said that he was in formed by some miners who were at work at the summit that the balance from there to King's hill, with the ex ception of a quarter of a mile, was equally as good, and that portion three men in three days could put in good or der with a plow anil scraper, and that the distance from Uastle to Neiliart bv wax of the Middle Checkerboard would cost the most. It is almut two miles long. It might take from 83.e tween some of the greatest intellects in the legal profession. It is now thought that the work of qualifying jurors will he completed by Monday evening and that the trial will begin in earnest on Tuesday morning. John H. Conrad, a son-in law of Mrs. Barnahy, the alleged victim of Dr. Graves, is pushing the prosecution with unrelenting vigor. He claims that there is no doubt hut that Dr. Graves w ill he convicted. He says that much of the most important evidence in the case is as yet unknow n to the public, and that it will he introduced at the proper time in the trial. District Attorney Stevens is also working with great vigor to se cure the conviction of the accused, in whose guilt he firmly ljeheves, and he asserts that it will he impossible for the defense to refute the mass of criminat ing evidence which is being held in re serve and which will soon lie launched in its proper channel. The opinion of the Denver public as to the innocence or guilt of Dr. Graves was at first about evenly divided, but belief in his guilt is evidently grow ing if the frequent expressions of opinion heard in the court corridors and on the streets are entitled to credence. Only seven men were left out of the panel of 250 talesmen when the court this morn ing resumed the work of securing it jury to try Dr. Graves. These sevelü men were quickly examined and an adjourn ment was then taken until Monday, when it is thought the jury will he com pleted. The two most interested spectators of the proceedings were Dr. Graves and John H. Conrad. The one was an aven ger and the other is battling for his life. Colonel Ballou sat between the two men, at mortal enmities, for Mr. Conrad be lieves the doctor guilty and the latter cannot move the man who is trying to convict him. Dr. Graves' face was rosy this morning and he looked much more confident than he has since the progress of the trial began. Keed'g Rulings. A brief has been filed for the govern ment in the supreme court of the l nited States by Solicitor-General Taft, in the case of the United States, appellant, vs. Ballin, Joseph & Co., known as the quo rum case, brought to test the legal t} of Speaker Reed's methods in counting a quorum; also to test the appraisement of worsted goods. The case comes to the supreme court on an appeal front the United States circuit court for the southern district of New York. In his brief Solicitor-General Taft gives the position of the government as follows: The presence of a majority of the members of either house constitutes a quorum to do business. Members, if present, are a part of the required quo rum to do business, though they do not vote. This is shown, first by the context of the constitution providing in effect that a quorum to do business may be obtained by compelling the presence of absent memliers; second, by the histoi} of the clause in the constitutional con vention; and third, by the common law meaning of the word "quorum. Each house, by virtue of its constitutional power to determine the rules of its pro ceedings, may ascertain the present e of a quorum by any means or agent} it chooses to select, and after such ascer tainment the house, by virtue of its power to keep a journal of its proceed ings, may, as it did here, make the journal show the truth, and thereby conclusively establish the fact of the presence of a quorum. The bill recetv the affirmative vote of a majority of the quorum and was lawfully passed.

A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, of the 29th inst. says: The great public benefactor known in history as "Land Bill" Allen ended his days in the Frank i lin county infirmary this morning at six o'clock, after suffering one week with paralysis. Mr. Allen was born in YYin dom. Conn., May 23.1810. In early years his father moved to Rhode Island, anil he was given an education. He also learned the tailor trade. "Land Bill" Allen also entered the journalistic arena, running the Rhode Islander. He mnr risd Zena Weaver, and sold his paper and came to Columbus in 1829. He edited the Ohio State Journal and the Cincinnati Gazette for years. Having the homestead idea that of giving 100 acres of Indian hind to every man who would guarantee to settle on it in the west he spent 860.000 introducing his plans. In 1863 the great bill was passed in congress, but Allen nerer took any lands. He moved to Sharon township. Franklin county, and l>egan farming. Shortly afterwards his wife died. Sick ness came on the old benefactor, and little by little his projierty passed out of his possession, leaving him at least pen niless and helpless in his advanced years. A few weeks ago he was admitted to the Franklin county infirmary where even attention has been given him, and sev eral subscriptions have been raised all over the country to assist him. Ere the assistance of his friends could be appre ciated, death relieved the old man of his troubles. His Ixxly is in charge of the superintendent of the infirmary who will hold it until Wednesday, giving the friends an opportunity to bury him. A monument fund is in progress.

Grant Weds and Andrew Scott were arrested by Sheriff Templeton and A. E. Ovens Monday evening for conducting a strap or belt game. Wells was ar raigned before Justice Redliehl Tuesday, entered a plea of not guilty and in the afternoon his examination was proceeded with. W. H. Poorman appeared for the defendant and County Attorney Joy for the state. William Tuggle, a victim of the game, testified that on Saturday he met the defendant Wells on Hefferlin's corner and walked down to Lisk's saloon with him. While they were standing there Scott came out of the sakxjn and stood looking in the window. Wells noticed a string hanging out of his pocket and upon pulling it out found a strap attached to it in which there was a three-cent piece. Wells put the coin in his pocket, rolled the strap up again and placed it in Scott's pocket and then asked the latter what he was doing with the strap in his pocket. Scott said he had a three-cent piece rolled up in it. Wells wanted to bet him the drinks that there was no three-cent piece in it. Scott wouldn't bet the drinks but would bet 810. Wells didn't have 810 but he thought maybe young Tuggle had. Of course Tuggle had 810 and wanted to bet it. He had just seen Wells slip the leather out of Scott's pocket, remove the three cent piece and put the strap back without Scott noticing it. It was a dead easy snap to win 810 off of Scott and as Tuggle had no desire to overlook a snap he put up the money. Then Scott wanted to put up ten more and Tuggle saw him for five. Scott then reached in his pocket, pulled out the strap, unrolled it, and produced the three-cent piece. Of course Tuggle lost, and with the remark that the trick was worth 850 to him they walked away. Monday evening they tried the same game on H. N. Owens but failed. On complaint of A. E. Owens they were arrested and lodged in the county jail. The strap with which they worked is about ten inches long and one in width and is so arranged as to conceal one coin and leave the other exposed. By press ing underneath the strap the concealed coin is forced out and the victim loses his money. After hearing the testimony the men were bound over to the district court in 81,000 bonds, and in default of the same were committed to the county jail. Justice Woodman, before whom the cases of the anarchists, who were ar rested at a meeting held November 11, and ii was decided that the assemblies raided were unlawful ones. He fined the leaders $150 each and the others 810 each. These fines, at the instance of the city attorney, were at once suspended. This action was presumably taken for the purpose of averting an appeal to the higher courts. It is understood, how ever, that the defendants will appeal, nevertheless.
