At a meeting of the Arion society last
evening, it was voted to give $60 in
prizes at the forthcoming masquerade
ball of the society on Easter Monday.
The best group, not to number less
than eight, will receive $25; the second
best, $15; the best costumed lady, $510;
the best gent. $55, and the most comical
costume, $7,. No return checks will be
issued to parties in the balcony.
There is a down freight train on the
Consolidated road which usually arrives
between 0.30 and T a. m. that daily ob-
struct-s the ‘vVashingt-on street crossing
much longer than allowed by the rail-
road emnmissioncrs, yes, iivc times as
long, while pedestrians, the teams of
the butcher, baker, and milkman are
obliged to wait until the trainmen have
done their switching and setting in of
freight cars. Besides this, there is a
furious blowing of thelocomotive whis-
tle, greatly to the discomfort of sleepy
ones. The train should be cut in twain
and the crossing left clear while the
work is done below the station.
Says a correspondent: It hasbecome
quite common among newspaper itemi-
zers and others in this vicinity to call
our Justices of Peace “Judge," in-
stead of using their proper title of J us-
tice, and it is often misleading to those
who are not familiar with such custom.
There is no more sense in So calling our
trial Justices than there would be in
calling a molehill a mountain. The cus-
tom was probably introduced by some
pcttifogging attorney,‘ in the hope of
tickling the Justice so as to win doubt-
ful cases, and it is hoped that the
newspapers will discontinue the prac-
tice and call them what the law declares
them to be, Justices of the Peace.

A CRISIS IN HONOLULU.
Queen Liliuokalani’s Indecision May
l’recipitate an Uprising. .
SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.—Private ad-
vil:es from Honolulu state that affairs are
in a critical state. The refusal of Kala-
kaua’s cabinet to resign proved that the
queen lacked the decision of character she
had always been credited with, for it was
nine days before she named a new minis—
try. Then followed a deadlock in the su-
preme court on the question of confirming
the appointments, and as the decision has
not yet been rendered the situation is very
chaotic.
There is a rumor that Col. Ashford,
backed by a number of foreign merchants,
will propose to the queen the selection of a
purely native cabinet, the members of
which, of course, would be more figure-
heads. If the settlement of the political
problem is not very soon effected an up-
rising is almost certain to occur. There
are, however, enough marines of the Mo-
hican and Iroquois now at Honolulu to
quickly suppress any outbreak.
The most irritating feature of the matter
to the natives is the indecision of the queen,
who is blamed with causing the whole
trouble. Their anger is not appeased by
the current rumor that her majesty pro—
poses to declare her illegitimate son heir
to the throne instead of Princess Katulani,
who is next in the line of succession ac-
cording to the accepted rule in the islands.
The United States consul is fully informed
regarding the intrigues now in progress,
and determined, if possible, to prevent
bloodshed by prompt- action whenever nec-
essaI-y.
“'ASHINGTON WHISPERS.
Treasurer Huston’s Resignation Still in
the President’s Hands.
W ASHINGTON, March 6.—United States
Treasurer Huston has left for his home in
Indiana, where he will remain for perhaps
a week or perhaps indefinitely. His visit
home at this time is to attend to some
urgent private business. There is no
change in his relations to the president.
His resignation as treasurer of the United
States is still in the hands of the president,
who has not yet accepted it. He may ac-
cept at any time and may not accept it at
all.
When a new treasurer does come in
there will be an enormous amount of work
ahead for the clerks in the treasurer-’5 of—
fice. All the money in the vaults, amount—
ing to millions and millions of dollars, will
have to be counted. Even the cents,‘dimes
and silver dollars have all to be counted,
and there are of these kinds of money more
than $24,000,000 now in the treasury. It
will take a force of twenty-five men more
than six months to complete the count of
money and securities.
The Treasury Surplus.
WAsruxe’rox, March 6.—The net surplus
in the treasury at the close of business yes-
tcrday was less than nine million dollars.
It has been reduced within the past week
by heavy pension requisitions for the next
quarter, more than thirty million dollars
having been paid out on this account. The
drain on the treasury from this source will
now cease for three months, and the sur-
plus is expected to gradually crawl up
again to figures approximating $35,000,000.
A Child Illurderer on Trial.
BUFFALO, March li—In the supreme
court the ease of Sadie McMullen, the Ak-
ron, N. Y., child murderess, indicted for
murder, is being tried. The crime for
which she is on trial was one of peculiar
and unprovoked atrocity. She does not
deny the commission thereof. but avers
complete ignorance of the entire occur-
rence. On Friday evenintr, Oct. 3], of last
year, Sadie, when living at Akron. enticed
Delia Brown, aged 6, and Nellie May Con-
nors, children of friends, to go with her
for a walk. She took them to the high rail—
way bridge and threw them into the ravine,
sixty feet below. She then attempted sui-
cide by jumping into a mill (lam, but was
rescued. The children were found early
the following morning, both terribly in
jured. The Connors girl died the same
day. but the Brown girl recovered.
Dishonest SOIdicrs’ Home Official.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 6.—~A leg—
islative committee has been here fora week
investigating the management of the Sol-
diers’ home, and an interesting state of
affairs has developed. Ex-Governor Luce
testified that Col. Samuel Wells, 21 member
of the home board, was dishonest, and that
had \Vells not resigned he would have
been removed. The dishonesty was dis-
covered in the erection of the buildings,
which cost $10,000 more than the appro-
priation and original contract price, the
money being spent on the ventilating sys
tem and extras. Architect Hollister, who
helped spend the extras, and Col. Wells
have been summoned to testify before the
committee. ,
Bad for the Pullman Strikers.
CHICAGO, March (i.———The Pullman Car
company has determined tohave nothing
more to do with the men who struck re-
cently. They
that under no consideration would they
be permitted to return and that their
places would be filled. Toward evening a
committee of the strikers waited on Man-
ager Tourtellot and asked that any vacan-
cies that remained might be filled by the
old employes at the wages oflt'ered by the
company. The committee was told that
there were no vacancies. The strikers will
leave their homes in ten days, their leases
expiring on March 15.
Jail Birds on Strike.
FORT DODGE, 1a., March (-3,—Jamcs Cun-
ningham, W'I'llis Young, \Villiam Cordcry
and Martin \Vukon, four prisoners in the
“lobster county jail, struck for better ac-
commodations. They took possession of
the corridor and barred out the jail offi-
cials. The strikers claim that their cells
were not sufficiently warm, and when their
demand for better quarters was refused
they broke all, the jail windows. They
were finally overpowered.
She “'as Sick and Lonely.
NEW YORK, March 6.—Frances \Valker,
a widow, 30 years old, and a- dressmaker
by trade, committed suicide Thursday
morning in her room at 153 East Forty-
third street by taking poison. She left a
letter addressed to her brother, giving in-
structions regarding her funeral and say-
ing that she died because'Slic was “sick
and lonely.”
Both Instantly Killed.
W'ARsAw, N. Y., March 6,—VVilliam Der-
rick and John Loveless, while returning
from work at the Bradley salt works and
walking on the Erie lraCk, were struck by
a train and instantly killed. Derrick was
married; Loveless was a single man.

Railroad Ofiieilllmsponsiblc by the
Coroner’s Jury—Lin. Unusual Finding.
Chauncey M. Depew, the directors
and ofiicers of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad are held re-
sponsiblefor the accident- and accom-
panying loss of life in the Fourth ave-
nue tunnel on the morning of Friday,
Feb. 20, and warrants will be issued for
their arrest.
The twelve representative citizens
forming Coroner Levy’s jury, after a
careful hearing of numerous witnesses
and the opinions of signal experts, ren-
dered, last evening, a unanimous ver-
dict as above, each director and officer
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad being held directly
responsible for the death of Helen T.
Supple and five others. ‘ I
The District Attorney’s oflice will be
responsible for the extradition of the
railroad officials residing in the state of
Connecticut.
Much sympathy was manifested for
Engineer Fowler Of the New Haven
road, whose train dashed into the local _
shop tram, for it was felt that usually -
he was a most painstaking Official and
had faithfully performed his responsi-
ble duties for eighteen years. The ver-
dict of the jury shows that this was in
the jurors’ minds, for they virtually ex-
onerate him from blame by saying that,
owing to the smoke and fog, he passed
the danger signal without seeing it.
The third count in the formal pre—
sentment by the jury is as follows:
“’6 would urge the Legislature to
compel the New York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad Company to make
additional openings in the tunnel in or-
der to provide for better ventilation
and light in said tunnel, as from per—
sonal examination we find that the
present ventilation and light are inade-
quate; and we do further believe that
the use of anthracite coal when addi—
tional openings are made will contrib-
ute to the safety of the traffic. lVe fur—
ther believe that the present system of
the use of one man in the signal cabs
in the tunnel is insuflicient for safety,
and we earnestly recommend the em-
ployment of two at all times. We fur-
ther recommend that each outgoing
and incoming train when passing
through the tunnel be advised of the
train immediately preceding it and also
its reasonable headway. And we fur-
ther recommend that a uniform rate of
speed be adOpted for all trains and en-
gines passing through the tunnel.
