THE OLDjEfiO llYlNGu

Gen. William T. Sherman in the
Shadow of the Dark Valley. ,

HOPE ALMOST ABANDONED.

 

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—lt seemed “rednes-
day morning as if the worst forebodings as
to the result of lien. Sherman’s illness
would be fulfilled. The old warrior had
been growiu g steadily worse since Tuesday
morning, reports to the contrary notwith-
standing. Gen. Sherman rallied for a
short time 'l‘uesday. but since then his
condition has been worse. At 10 O’clock
\Vedncsday morning Miss. Rachel Sher-
man said that her father was unconscious.
Dr. Alexander was with the patient at the
tiiue. but. he. too. evidently became
alarmed at the sick man’s condition. for
Dr. Janeway was sent for in haste.

Shortly after 10 o‘clock the general’s
son, P. T. Sherman. said that his father
was not then unconscious. The. general,
he said. was growing weaker all the time,
and the family was prepared for the worst.
His father did not speak to any one who
went to his bedside. From the son‘s tone
and manner of speaking at the time it was
inferred that be entertained but little hope
of his father‘s recovery.

Very Little Hope.

Senator Sherman spent the:ight with
his brother. and Mrs. Colgate Hoyt called
at the house in the morning. Dr. Jane-
way hurried 11p to the house shortly be—
fore 10:30. lie examined the patient and
reported that there had been no change in
his condition. Gen. Sherman was grow—
ing weaker with each moment.

At 11 a. n1. Senator Sherman assumed
charge of the general’s household. Dr.
Alexander then stated that the patient
was almost in a state of coma, although he
rallied occasionally.

“\Vhat are the chances of the general’s
recovery?” was asked.

“They are very slim,” was the reply.

Further than that the doctor would not
say as to the chances of recovery. From
Dr. Alexander’s subsequent remarks, how-
ever. it was inferred that he entertained
no hope of the general’s recovery.

Erysipcias and High Fever.

"The patient is an old man,” he said,
“and cannot possibly recover from this at—
tack as easily as he did the first one.”

Among those who called later in the day
were Gens. O. 0. Howard and Thomas
Ewing. Lieut. Treake and Mr. J. W. Wil—
son.

The genera-1’s only nourishment consists
of small doses of whisky and milk. Dr.
Alexander refused to state whether he
thought the end would be a matter of
hours or days.

At. 1 o‘clock the condition of Gen. Sher—
man remained much the same, although
the doctors said there was some evidence
of an improvement. It is stated that Dr.
Alexander entertains no hope, although
his friends have still faith in the strong
constitution of the general to carry him
through.

011 Wednesday night of last week Gen.
Sherman went to the Casino in company
with many army and navy officers, and
caught a bad cold. Sunday was his seven-
ty-iirst birthday, and during the day ery-
si pclas developed, attended bya high fever.
The disease spread rapidly, and his face is
badly swollen and painful.

It’s Getting Bigger.

\\‘u..\uNGTO.\‘, Del., Feb. 12.—It is evi~
dent that the shortage of J. Eldridge
Pierce. the absconding secretary of the
( ‘it y Loan association, will amount to $90,-
ouo instead of $47,951.41, as recently com-
puted. It is believed that the assets of the
concern are now about $50,000, against
$40,000 this time last year. Acommittee
of the association is investigating the as-
sets. and will report at the next monthly
meeting.

Binghamton’s Charter Election.

liIXGIIAMTON, N. Y., Feb. 12.—R. S. Cur-

ish woman. 40 years of age, and living at

lieved he is alive in hiding.

dent-"s veto by a vote of 141 to 69.

The propagandists of Volapuk have
split over the attempt to change its forms

ALBANY LEGISLATION.

Proceedings in the Senate and in the
‘ Assembly.
ALBANY, Feb. 12.—In the senate at twen-

to the lieutenant governor. He opened it,
looked puzzled and then ordered the pro-

It transpired that the governor had writ-
ten out- the appointment of Mr. Pierce as
“banking superintendent” instead of su-
perintendent of insurance. It was sent
back and the senate went on with its busi—
ness.

Committee of the Whole was the order
and the Republicans tried not to allow
the committee to rise. The motion to rise
was carried and the message as revised
was read nominating Mr. Pierce for the
oflice of superintendent of insurance.

Mr. Jacobs moved immediate confirma—
tion. -

Mr. Fassett objected, saying the senate
was in executive session.

Mr. Jacobs called for his notice of sus-
pension of rule 47, which allows the con—
firmation in open senate.

Mr. Fassett objected, but the chair ruled
him out of order.

Mr. Fassett called for the reading of the
notice and it. was read. Mr. Fassett said
that the notice was given before the nomi-
nation came in and to expand it now by
giving the notice play was in violation of
rule 51, for the notice was broader than
the action to be taken under it.

The notice was of an omnibus motion,
and he made the point of order that the
motion of the senator from the Second
was not in keeping with the notice.

Mr. Jacobs said that the proceedings
were entirely parliamentary, and that; no
other way was open.

The chair decided the point of order of
Mr. Fassett not well taken.

Mr. Jacobs then moved immediate con-
firmation, and the senate confirmed
Pierce‘s nomination by 17 yeas to 13 nays.

In the Assembly.

in the assembly the following committee
reports were made:

J udiciary—Mr. Taylor’s, requiring state-
ments to be filed. in regard to the amount

peal of the act of 1890. The bill was taken
from the table and placed upon the order

THE RUPTURE WIDENEI]
N 0 Hope of a Compromise Between
Parnell and the Seceders.

NEGOTIATIONS AT AN END.

The Anti-Parnellites Outwitted by Thei!
Old Leader, Who Has Undoubtedly
Strengthened His Position—The
Kaiser Intriguing.

Lox-110x, ~Feb. 12.—-Before the rising o:
the house of commons Wednesday it wa.‘
known in the lobby that the Irish negotia~
tions that have extended over so many
weeks had finally failed. Mr. John E
Redmond, member for Wexford, and 2
strong Parnellite, was stopped at th(
Euston Road station of the London and
Northwestern railway early in the even '
ing when about to leave for Dublin.

He and two other Nationalists, one 2
leading Parnellite and the other under.
stood to be Mr. Thomas P. Gill, member
for Loutb, who accompanied Messrs. Dil‘
1011 and O’Brien in their American tour.
then adjourned to the Euston Hotel
where a conference lasting an hour was
held.

At this meeting a. memorandum wa.‘
drawn up which was subsequently taken
to the house and handed to Mr. McCarthy
It formally stated that the pending negotia-
tions had been discontinued by Mr. Par
nell and his followers, and all hope of com-
ing to a satisfactory and honorable under-
standing with the seceders abandoned. 5

The. member responsible for the state'
ment of the above facts added that Mr.
Gill had left London for Boulogne with 2
communication from Mr. Parnell address-
ed to Messrs. O’Brien and Dillon to tht
same effect.

The Parnell faction has been greatly en
couraged by the adhesion of Hon. Cecil
John Rhodes, premier of Cape Colony.
This fact is considered of great signifi-
cance. both morally and financially, as
Mr. Rhodes, a gentleman of wealth, is said
to be prepared to give liberally to the
cause.

Meantime the anti-Parnellites had al-
ready come to the conclusion that their
old leader had proved too clever for the
new 011(5, and that Mr. McCarthy had been
beguiled into useless negotiations and
much waste of time. Indeed toe only out
come of the various Boulogne conferences
seems to have. been a distinct widening oi
the breach between the two factions.

It is now clear that whatever purpose Mr
Parnell may have had in en gagiu g in thest
abortive negotiations he has been constant :
1y employed during their progress in
strengthening his position.

Opposition to King IVillimn.

LONDON. Feb. 12.~—A Berlin dispatcl:
says that the kaiser is accused, althougl '
not openly, of intriguing to put his brother-
in—law, Prince Adolphus, of Shaumberg
Lippe. on the throne of the important
principality of Lippe-Detmold. whose rul.
ing prince is likely to die soon without di-
rect heirs, and leaving only an insane
brother. Alexander, and two sisters, wh( .
have sought the seclusion of conveuts
Adolphus is in one of the lines of succes-
sion, but a remote one, and in his owr
family he is a younger son, without fort
une or prospects, except as husband of tin .
kaiser’s sister.

The present Prince of Lippe-l)etmold i:
about sixty—seven years of age. and is suf
fering from a. severe illness. The aspirants
for his throne are already active. and i111
perial authority may have to be appealed
to in order to settle their disputes, and this
would give the kaiser his opportunity tc
forward the interests of Adolphus and put
his sister. Victoria, on the throne of 2
German state.

The kaiser, however, is not having his
way altogether in Germany, as shown ii:
the grand dnchy of Mccklenburg—Strelitz,
where the veteran grand duke refuses tc
pay any attention whatever to the cm»
peror, and carefully refrained from doing '
him honor on the occasion of the emperor’s
birthday, and declining since, as before,
all invitations to the imperial court. As
the grand (luchess is a member of the An-
glo—Hanoverian royal family, it is pOSsiblt
that the grand duke’s course is inspired by
a recollection of Prussia’s suppression oi
Hanovcrian royalty.

In the rcichstag also the kaiser and his
chancellor find that Prince Bismarck has 5
friends and admirers, and one of them;
Herr Arendt, loses no pretext to praise the
former chancellor and reflect. caustically‘
on the kaiser’s policy.

Wilderbruch’s new play, entitled “Dex
Neue Herr,” of which the. emperor warmly
approved and in the product-ion of whict

 

 

. he manifested a marked interest, has beer 5

coldly received by the “first night” audi f
ence. The critics also generally condcmr 3
it. The play, in its argument, is largely 2 .
defense of the emperor’s domestic policy ,
especially as that policy finds its excmpliii- :
cation in the retirement of Prince Bismarck i
from the chancellorship.

Can Photograph Colors.

PARIS, Feb. 12.—-The scientific world has
been startled by the announcement made
by M. Lippmann, professor of physics at
the Sorbonne, that he has discovered 2:,
method of photographing by which the
colors of the solar spectrum may be repro-
duced as accurately as the outlines 01
shadows are now fixed upon photographh
negatives.

The professor asserts that he has suc-
ceeded in photographing a window stained ,
in colors, reproducing tints equal in bril-
liancy to the original. A reporter saw a
colored photograph of a stained glass win- i
dow that had just been taken out of the -
developing bath and was in splendid con.
dition, the greens, yellows, reds and blues
coming out perfectly.

Defends Koch's Lymph.

BERLIN, Feb. Iii—The idea that treat.
ment with. the Koch curative lymph
changcsa local tubercular affection intc
one of general tuberculosis, owing to the
tainting of the blood, is denied by Pro-
fessor Bardelcben. Such a change, he de-
clares, often occurs in children after tht
ordinary operation for tubercular joints,
and sometimes without the operation.

‘Von’t Have Association EmployeS.

STEELTON, Pa, Feb. 12.—Eight employes
of the Pennsylvania steel works at this
place have. been notified that their services
are no longer needed, becausg it is said, 01
their allegiance to the Amalgamated Steel
association. It is said many more dis-
missals will follow as soon as proof can be
obtained against the men. The officials 01
the company have declared war upon all
employes who have any interest in the as
sociaaiou. ‘

AN EASY WINNER.

Joe Goddard Whips Joe Choynski in 3
. Four Bounds. .

SYDNEY, N. S. W., Feb. 12.—Joe God-
dard, of Australia, and Joe Choynski, of '
San Francisco, fought at the Sydney Ath-
letic club last evening at. catch weights
for a purse of £500. Goddard defeated his _
antagonist in the fourth round.

Goddard has fought many battles, and
recently worsted Peter Jackson in an
elght round contest with gloves. Choy-
nski was beaten in a. contest with Jim Cor-
bett in San. Francisco over a year ago, but
was successful in a fight with Jack Fo-
garty, of Australia. .

Goddard claims that he got the best of l
Slavin in a six round contest, which took i
place about two years ago in Australia. ‘
This is denied by Slavin and his friends,
Slavin claiming that he knocked his man
out in the second round. In build and
physique Goddard is the exact counterpart
of Sullivan. He is regarded by Austra-
lians as the coming champion of the world.

The Unexpected Happened. '

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—The stockholders of
a. bank whi"h failed in 1877 for nearly $1,-
000,000, yet whose stock is today quoted at
170 with no sellers, ,met. yesterday at the
Sherman house. The institution holding
such a unique position was known four-
teen yearsago as the Third National Bank
of Chicago, and J. Irving Pearce was its
president. The final meeting of the stock-
holders was held toward th close of

f 1877, when they were told that 1. air stock

was worthless, as every cent of the capi-
tal of $750,000 and the surplus of $200,000
had been taken to pay the claims that fol~
lowed suspension. Yesterday they were
told by Receiver Huntington W. Jackson
that he had been offered $1,000,000 for two
tracks of land near Jackson park, which

; were saved from the wreck, but were

thought almost worthless at the time. It
has been decided to accept the offer, pro-
vided the bid was not at once raised in
other quarters where such a move was ex—
pected.

Newspaper Women and the Fair.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—The women press de—
partment of the Queen Isabella association
was formally organized yesterday. The
purpose of the organization is to secure the
co-opcrntion of the newspaper women of
the. country to provide a permanent head-
quarters for newspaper women during the
VVorld’s fair, where they may meet and be

. of assistance to one another. It was agreed

that the membership should be limited to
editors, editorial and other writers, special
correspondents upon the regular staff of
reputable journals throughout the coun-
try.
And His Horrified Wife Saw It.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 12,—Henry Bantis—

del, a laborer employed at Armour’s pack~
ing house, met a horrible death in full

' view of his wife, who had stepped to the

door to wave him good—by. He had just
left his home, and was running to catch a.
passing train on the State street line. On
the Santa Fe tracks his foot caught on a
wire, and he fell forward on his face be—
tween thc rails. Before he could rise a.
switch engine struck the prostrate man

? squarely in the middle of the back and cut

him in two.

Quite a. Lively Little Time.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 12.~Editor:Jos
eph Speyer, of The Kansas City Post, a
German daily paper, while in a. saloon on
Main street discussing the attack being
made on the Turner society managed by
The Post, was accosted by a stranger, who
cursed Speycr and then opened fire on him
with a revolver, but the proprietor of the
salOon pushed the weapon aside and the
ball struck a glass mirror. A general fusi~ '
lade by Speyer, the stranger and the pro-
prietor followed, but the stranger made his
escape.

Pounded to Death with Pick Handles.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Feb. 12.—-A row in a
boarding house in this city resulted in the
brutal murder of Michael Smith and the
fatal injury of Michael Selka by Walenty
Nowak and son. The N owaks and several

‘ other Poles were carousing on the second

floor of the building. Smith and Selka
went up to stop the fracas, when the
N owaks set upon them with pick handles,
pounding Smith’s body into an unrecog-
nizable mass of flesh and injuring Selka
so that he will die. Both the Nowaks
have been arrested.

Blaine and Canada’s Reform Party.

’l‘onoxro, Feb. 12.—One who is described
as a “high and mighty light in the reform
camp” is reported by a. paper here to have

. intimated that Hon. Wilfred Lawrier, the

leader of the Liberal party, isin possession
of a letter from Secretary Blaine in which
the latter distinctly refuses to negotiate
with any party in Canada but the Reform
party upon the question of commercial
union.

. Getting in Deep.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis., Feb. 12.—The
Rockefeller-s and Colgate Hoyt have taken
$1,000,000 worth more of stocks and bonds
of the lVest Superior Iron and Steel works,
and Mr. Lenox in an interview said that
the plant would be enlarged to five times
the capacity of any steel plant in the west.
It is estimated that the Rockefellers now
have more than $3,000,000 in the steel barge
works and steel plant here.

Stephen M. Allen Will Call It.

BOSTON, Feb. 12.—Stephen M. Allen, the
surviving presiding officer of the first Re~
publican convention, held at Worcester,
July 20, 1854, will issue a call for a conven-
tion March 4. The military and civic
officers of the government under the ad-
ministration of President Lincoln will be
represented, as well as all civilians from
1848 to 1860 who favored anti-slavery, Free
Soil or Republican parties.

 

'_ _ Both -May Die.

COLUMBUS, Ind., Feb. 12.—At the Cereal-
ine mills, in this city, yesterday, Charles
Bruce, manager of power, and William
Goodman, foreman of the printing depart-
ment, quarreled, when Bruce struck Good-
man ,who at once drew a. knife and stabbed
Bruce several times, inflicting wounds that

be a fact. When we say that no are going to sell goods AT COST we
mean the actual cost, and not a fictitious price added 011 with a view of
deceiving clerks as well as customers. To every rule there are exceptions.
