LIQUOR GASES.
ANOTHER DAY SPENT IN OPPOS—
INII QUITNEII AND O’BRIEN.
The County Commissioners visited
the location of the Quitner and O’Brien
saloons yesterday morning, after which
they returned to the council rooms,
and Rev. Mr. Biddle was put upon the
stand and testified that he simply ob-
jected to the location of these saloons
on account ‘of people who passed the
saloon walking upon the track on their
way to the city.
Cross examined, witness thought
that if these saloons were removed
there would be less danger because the
people who passed would not stop to
drink. He thought that people who
passed all of these saloons in the city
and then walked upon the track
would not be in as much danger as those
passing the saloons of Quitner and
O’Brien. Witness would not say what
percentage of people who went into sa-
loons and took a drink became intoxica-
ted. The witness knew that not more
than five people walked down the track
to attend the chapel at Whistleville, but
did not know as a fact, that one person
walked down the track to these saloons
to_ take a drink. - Witness became
somewhat mixed under cross-examina-
tion and gave some exceedingly biased
testimony,from which one would imply
that every man who passed one of these
saloons on his way to and from work
stopped to take a drink.
Richard J. Cntbill testified that he
knew the location of these saloons.
That when he was a member of the
council, complaints had been made of
these saloons, and an investigating
committee had reported the necessity
of placing a policeman at that point.
Both of these saloons were reported,but
no written report was made, it being a
verbal one. Lived below these saloons
for about 5 years, and removed from
there 3 years ago last August. He ob-
jects to licensing any saloon in this
locality, on account of people passing
and having to witness the actions of
patrons of these saloons. Any- man
who goes into a saloon is liable to be-
comeintoxicated. Cross-examined, Mr.
O’Brien kept the saloon less than a
year while I was residing there.
Where he now resides it does take him
past these saloons on his way home or
to business. Saw men fighting in front
of O’Brien’s saloons once, but cannot
say how many times he saw fighting
there. Do not know whether another
policeman was sent there or not. A
policeman has been there for the last
two years to keep order among the
Italians. Don’t know of any arrests
being made on account of these sa-
loons. The testimony of witnesses
seemed to infer that he knew nothing
as a fact of what he was testifying. His
whole evidence seemed to relate'to the
time when he resided there prior to the
time O’Brien kept the saloon, and
was about on a par with the testimony
given by Dunning.
Dr. Burke testified that he was ex—
aminer, etc., the same as in the former
cases. Between the depot and Whistle-
ville, there has been an average of ten
deaths a year for a number of years.
A fence has been put up to enclose the
track and during the last year I can re-
call two deaths in that neighborhood.
There have been women, men and child-
ren, and some have been under the
influence of liquor. Do not remember
of any one being killed there under the
influence of liquor during the past
year.
Cross-examined, thought the laying
of sidewalks had decreased the travel
on the track. Of the persons killed,
witness could not say that their deaths
was connected with either of these
saloons.
J. B. Wheeler testified that he knew
the location of these saloons, and think
they are unsuitably located. In com-
ing home has crossed the bridge, and
in coming to the city took the railroad
track. Was common occurrence to
meet persons coming from the direc—
tion of the saloon. I As a property
holder, I consider it detrimental to my
property to have these saloons in that
locatiOn. '
Cross-examined, there has not been
material difference in the travel on the
track since the sidewalks have been
constructed. Saw three men intoxi-
cated about three months ago. Have
men going up the track intoxicated seen
once a month. If the saloons were re-
moved the travel on the track would
be just as dangerous. Unless the men
frequent the saloons there is no more
danger in welking on the track than
there is at present. People can come
by the way of Chestnut or Spring
street in coming to the city if they so
desire. Thought that the O’Brien sa-
loon was kept as well as any saloon in
the city. Re-direct, ‘witness testified
that he attended Mr. North’s church,
but that his preaching never had any
effect upon him.
Adjourned until 2 o’clock.
After recess the commissioners met
and Rev. Mr. Hallock was placed upon
the stand and testified that he knew
the location of these saloons, and
thought them unsuitable on account of
being near the railroad track and the
number of children who pass them on
their way to school. Was told by the
principal of the school that about 275
teachers and scholars are obliged to
pass these saloons.
Cross-examined, have no personal
knowledge of how many children that
have to pass I'. :se saloons except what
he had been told. Never heard any
complaint from school children who
had to pass these saloons. Never heard
or knew of any person coming from
these saloons and going upon the track;
never heard or knew of any one coming
from these sa100ns intoxicated and be-
ing killed upon the track. Had sug-
gested that it would have been better
to have left out the saloon of O’Brien.
Mr. North was the last witness for
the prosecution and stated that his
testimony led back to the death of Mr.
Mason, who 10st his life by falling from
the Consolidated road to the Housa-
tonic road below. Have personally
examined these saloons, and feel that
there is greater danger to human life
from the location of these saloons than
from the location of any other .saloon
in town, not excepting the saloons
opposite the depot. He thought that
Mr. O’Brien had made an honest effort
to conduct his saloon better than his
predecessor had done. He objected to
these saloons on the ground of. the
danger to human life in walking on the
railroad track. Cross examined-Was
not informed that Mason was drunk by‘
any one who had personal knowledge
of his having been drunk before lle'fell
off the bridge.
For the defense Mr. T. Guyer was
placed on the stand and, upon
examination by Mr. Frost, testified
that he had been in business within a
stone’s throw of Mr. O’Brien’s saloon.
It is his opinion that the location of
Mr. O’Brien’s saloon was a suitable
one for the reason thatit can be seen
from all directions, and makes a place
of that kind less objectionable to pass
at night. As abusiness man I do not
have any objection to a saloon being
there as conducted by Mr. O’Brien.
Have no knowledge‘of any trouble or
disturbance at this saloon, and there
has never been any complaint as far as
I know with regard to the outside life
of this saloon. There have been dis-
disturbances from the Italians often,
and sometimes is. front of my store and
sometimes on the bridge. Cross ex-
amined by Mr. North—Sometimes
there is quite a crowd on the bridge.
Don’t know why a saloon should not be
located near a point where a crowd
gathered. He didn’t know that Italians
and Hungarians sometimes patronized
this saloon, but thought perhaps they
did.
Nathaniel Bouton testified that, he
lived on Ely avenue on the same street
that Mr. O’Brien’s saloo n is on. Have
occasion to pass Mr. O’Brien’s saloon
from 2 to 8 times a day. He did not
know of a more suitable location for a
saloon, because it was in a public
place and the police could watch it
closer. Had no objection as aproperty
owner and business man to the location
of the saloon at this point. Had never
seen any disturbance around the saloon
and had often remarked what a quiet
place it was. Had never seen fighting
or disturbances of any kind there.
Cross-examined he testified that he
would be indifferent as to whether a
saloon was located near his property.
Would not obj ect if a saloon was opened
right beside his house. Re-direct. If
a saloon is conducted in the manner
that Mr. O’Brien conducts his, he has
no objection to it. '
Sylvester Bouton testified that he
lived in the upper part of Mr. Wheel-
er’s house, who testified for the prose-
cution, and he could not see why it was
not a geod place for a saloon. Had
had occasion to pass several times a day
and never saw any disturbance or
drunken men about the saloon. That
from outside appearances would not
know that a saloon'was located there.
Cross-examined. Thought aman stood
his chances when he walked upon the
track. Had seen plenty of drunken
men on the track passing by the freight
depot. Could See Hungarians and
Italians laying around drunk most any-
where. Re-direct. I am a temperance
man. Can’t see why the location of
Quitner’s saloon is not a good one.
Eben Bouton testified that he lived
a short distance below O’Brien’s saloon
for 35 years. Passed the saloon 4 or 5
times a day. Thought the location a
suitable one and had no objection as a
business man and resident to a saloon
being located there. Had never seen
any disturbance or drunken men about
the saloon. Cross-examined. Consid-~
ered it a proper location. Think it a
suitable location even if children had to
pass it in going to school.
Theo. Mayhewtestified that he lived
upon the same street that O’Brien’s
saloon is located. Owns the property
on which he lives. In passing to and
from work he had to pass the saloon.
Thought the location suitable. Have
never seen any objectionable features
in the outside life of the saloon. _ Never
saw any fighting or disturbance. Do
not as a business man object to its lo-
cation. Cross-examined. Never told .
any body that he saw a fight near the
place and never told any one that he
had watched the fight until he thought
one of the parties was going to be .
killed when he had interfered.

MR. RAND'S FUTILE EFFORTS
He Did His Best to Stop the “Tm-fare,
- but thc‘Spanlsh Governor Demand-
ed Too‘Muoh and the Natives.
Wouldn’t Trust Them.
BOSTON, Jan. 13,—Regarding the Spanish
outrages at Ponape, an account of which
has been laid before Secretary Blaine, the
Rev. Judson Smith, D. D., foreign secre-
tary of the American board of foreign
missions, said to the United Press corres-
pondent Monday: '
The first battle occurred J une, 25, 1890. A
lieutenant with from thirty to fifty men
had been sent by the Spanish governor
from the Spanish colony to Can, the seat
of our mission, and from five to seven
miles away, to build barracks and to erect
a Catholic 'church and priests’ houses.
From this officer’s threatening words and
actions the, natives became apprehensive
that they might be enslaved, and on the
morning of J une 25, seeing some boats
coming from the Spanish colony, and fear-
ing attack, they arose, surprised the Span-
iards and killed the lieutenant. and nearly
all of his men. ..
From the time of the lieutenant’s arrival
at Goa the missionaries had done their.
best to allay , the apprehensions of the
natives and to restrain them from vio-
lence. During the outbreak they succeed-
ed in saving the lives of two priests, four
soldiers and the Spanish physician by con-
cealing them in their houses for two days
and nights.
. Repulsod by the Natives.
The boats proved to be transports bring-
lng troops from the colony. The troops at—
tempted to land, but were repulsed by_ the
natives, and returned in their boats to the
colony, whence, later in the day, the trans-
ports came back to Oua with a larger
force, which tried to land, but was driven
back with the loss of a number killed, and
the boats again retreated. Subsequently,
in the same day, a steamer came over from
the colony, and in trying to enter the har-
bor of Oua ran on a reef, where it lay un-
able to attack thenatives for four days, at
the end of which time it floated and put
back. to the colony. According to our ac-
wants in this day’s battle only one native
was killed. .
The Spanish government then dispatched
a steamer to . Manila, in the Phillipine
islands, for more troops, and on Sept. 1
about 1,000 soldiers arrived to re-enforce
him. Before and after that date Mr. Rand,
the American missionary, had been going
to and fro between the governor and the
native chiefs, but had been unable to effect
a settlement, the governor’s terms being
such that the natives were unwilling to
trust him.
Among his demands were the surrender
of arms and the delivery” of twelve leading
men as hostages by the natives. When it
became evident that the natives would not
accept his terms, the governor directed the
missionaries to go to Kita, in another part
of the island, and promised Mr. Rand that
the mission property should be respected.
1 The Missionaries Not Responsible.
The missionaries left One. for Kits. on
Sept. 3, after which time they were so far
from the scene that they can give no
detailed account of the subsequent
trouble. They know, however, ' that
the gunboats moved upon Oua,
and they heard gun firing for several
days before the final attack was made
on Friday, Sept. 19, when the Spaniards
shelled Dos, and on the next day forced a.
landing, drove the natives’ back into the
bush and burned the natives houses and
the mission buildings. Mr. Rand writes
under date of Sept. 22 that the natives
thought that sixty or more Spaniards had
Of the
Ponapians only three were killed and four
wounded.
A personal letter written Dec. 3 by Com-
mander Taylor on board the Alliance con-
firms the statements of the missionaries
as to their innocence of fermenting trouble
between the Spaniards and the natives.
The Kaiser Will Fight for It.
BERLIN, Jan. 13.:-—It is reported from
Berlin that unless the upper house of the
Prussian diet agrees to the government
bill for the reform of communal adminis-
tration the diet will be dissolved and an.
appeal made to the country. The upper
- house is opposed to the measure because it
limits the rights of the landowning class,
who now have full sway in the rural com-
munities. The kaiser is said to be deter-
mined to overcome the opposition of the
nobility, even if he has to resort to the ex-
treme measure of adding to the member-
ship of the Prussian house of lords.

Why Some of the Names Are So Ap-
plied—The Stove Committee.
A gentleman of an inquiring turn of
mind asked Chauncey M. Depew some
time ago how many railroad nicknames
there were. The New York Central’s pres-
ident blandly replied, “Just, as many as
you have a mind to make.” '
“But how many do you know?” persisted
the questioner.
“Well, I have heard the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago road called ‘Paddy
Finnigan’s Wife and Children,’ ” said Mr.
Depew; “but really, if you want a list of
railroad nicknames I should not dare
undertake to make one out.”
Other well known railroad men were so-
licited to furnish the desired information,
but in each case inability to encompass the
subject was pleaded. “I have heard,” said
one of these gentlemen, “that the nick-
name ‘Nickel Plate’ was given to the New
York, Chicago and St. Louis railroad by
William H. Vanderbilt when he bought it.
He was grumbling at the price he hadto
pay, and remarked, ‘Why, if the infernal
road. was nickel plated it couldn’t cost
much more.’ ” , ..
Failing to obtain all the information de-
sired from the railroad presidents, the in-
quirer turned his attention to the general
managers. In the ranks of those indis-
pensable functionaries was one man who
actually became interested in the subject.
‘He said genially, “I cannot tell you much
Orr-my own authority, but between our-
selves and the ‘stove committee’ I think
.we can make up a list.”
THE “srovE coMMITTEE’s” LIST.
The “stove committee,” he explained, is
the source of all railroad information for
which no railroad ofl‘icer is willing to be
directly responsible. There is a “stove
committee” connected with every railroad.
It keeps watch of things, diacus'ses internal
and external policies, criticises the officers
of the road, and passes out to the World
through devious and untraceable ways
“tips” of what is going to happen. " _ .
If an unpopular officer or agent of a rail-
I
road company is about to be removed or‘
transferred to some post less desirable than
the one he has occupied, he generally
gets his first information about it from the
mysterious “stove committee.” A con-
spicuous illustration of this fact may be
cited in the case of Charles Francis Adams,
who was deposed from the presidency of
the Union Pacific. The news of his pros-
pective fate, which was wafted into the
office of The Times from the well posted
“stove committee,” met with repeated de-
nials from Mr. Adams, but he was finally
obliged to admit its correctness.
But to return to the list of railroad» nick-
names. The “stove committee” conjured
up by the genial general manager evolved,
the following list: “
Big Four—The Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago and St. Louis railroad.
Nickel Plate—New York, Chicago and
St. Louis.
The Soo—Minneapolis,
Sault Ste. Marie.
Pannhandle—Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
St. Louis.

The Sunset—Southern Pacific railway.
The Consolidated—New York, New

Katie—Missouri, Kansas and Texas.

and Big Sandy.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NAMES.
The above list includes the nicknames
most in use. In addition to these there is
a very large number of abbreviations of
the names of railroads which are a part of
the railroad parlance of the day. There is
the Central, for the New York Central and
Hudson River road; West Shore, for the
New York, West Shore and Buffalo; Erie,
for New York, Lake Erie and Western;
Lackawanna, for Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western; Santa Fe, for Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe; the Frisco, for St.
Louis and San Francisco; R. T., for Rich-
mond and West Point Terminal; Lake
Shore, for Lake Shore and Michigan South-
ern; R. W. 0., for Rome, Watertown and
Ogdensburg. and the Plant system for the
Savannah, Florida and Western and the
Charleston and Savannah roads. There
are many others that the “stove commit-
tee” could not remember at the moment.
The Buffalo and Southwestern, which was
at first abbreviated to B. and S. W., is now
known locally as “Brandy and Soda. Wa-
ter,” and the Buffalo and Jamestown rail-
road is familiarly spoken of.as “The J im-
town.”
Most of the nicknames are significant of
some peculiar feature or character of the
railroad systems to which they are applied.
For instance. the “Big Four” is applied to
a system formed by the consolidation of
four roads—viz., the Cincinnati, Indianap-
olis, St. Louis and Chicago; the Cleveland,
Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis;
the Indianapolis and St. Louis, and the
Cairo, Vincennes and Chicago line. The
Maple Leaf is appropriate because a line
drawn around the various points to which
the Chicago, St. Paul and KansasCity runs
outlines a maple leaf. The Clover Leaf fits
the Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City for
the same reason.
The Kentucky Central is called the Blue
Grass because it runs through the blue
grass region. The Queen and Crescent
describes‘the Cincinnati, New Orleans and
Texas Pacific, inasmuch as Cincinnati is
called the Queen City and New Orleans
the Crescent City. The Nypano is simply
a condensed abbreviation of New .York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, as N. Y., P. and 0.
The “$00” takes its name from the Sault
Ste. Marie, and the-Manon applies because
it is the main junction on the line of the
Louisville, . New Albany and Chicago.—

Unlessgghc momma... Yield O'Brien
Will Stay in the Parnell Camp. ‘
LONDON, Jan. V_13.,—-The week opens on
the. Irish situation with Mr. Parnell de-
. cidedlyahead, but with Nationalist unity
still unaccomplished.
Every day’s developments strengthen
the conclusion that it home rule is to be
i saved the McCarthyites must stand ready
to make some concessions as well as Mr.
Parnell. This they at present seem disin-
clined to do. In. case they should perma-
nently refuse to accept the temporary re-
tirement of their old leader, the McCarthy
organs admit that Mr. O’Brien will be
forced to remain in the Parnell camp.
The reception of Messrs. Henley and
Berry in Paris was not of -a. cordial char-
acter, and they, with Messrs. McCarthy,
Sexton and Condon; returned in so de-.
jected a mood that it is doubtful whether
they or any others of, their party will at—, '
tend any future Boulogne conferences.
Mr. O’Brien’s movements will probably
be decided by the result'of his expected in;
terview with Mr. Dillon.
A Blizzard in Illinois.
, CHICAGO, J an.13. —Dispatches from south-
ern Illinois state that a regular blizzard.
raged in that part of the state. Anna, .
1113., reports the heaviest snow storm seen
there for three years, the snow being over
eight inches deep. Duquoin also reperts
a depth of eight inches. As it has been
very dry for some time in that section of
the state the snow will be of very great
benefit, and especially to the wheat crop,
which now promises to be good.
