Lost at Sea.
The overdue steamer Sarnia has turn -
ed up with a broken shaft, but there
remains no room for resonable doubt
that the Naronic has gone to the bot-
tom. A steamer arrived at Bremen re-
ports having passed at sea two of the
Naronic’s lifeboats overturned.
The occupants may have been picked
up by some sailing vessel that has not
yet reported and hope for them will
not‘be wholly abandoned yet. Other-
wise the fate 'of the Naronii must re:
main 9. mystery, and we shall be left to
guess how a powerful modern steamer,
built with. all the known improvements,
including twin screws, water-tight com-
partments and the rest, well oflicercd
and fully manned, succumbed to perils
that many a slight craft that seems
scarce seaworthy easily defies.
The President and the Senate.
It is altogether probable says the
Philadelphia Times, that the line of bat-
tle between the President and the Sen-
ate, of which so much has been said in
' the last few days, exists only in the
fancy perspicacious correspondents and
in the gossip of the hotel lobbies at
Washington. That Mr. Cleveland is
likely to make his own appointments—
appointments, that is, that satisfy his
own judgment, even though the
should not always Satisfy the individu-
al preferences of members of Congress
——there is no need for any one to tell
us. That he is going Out of his way to
make needless antagonisms and to cre-
ate friction where it is his interest to
avoid it, not even the best informed
correspondent will persuade us.
Nor is there any indication that the
Senate is minded to antagonize the
President. No doubt Mr. Cleveland
would have been glad, as many other
Democrats would have been, to see
some of the committees made up a
little differently ; but that is the Sen-
ate’s business entirely, and that he has
concerned himself upon the subject min
the highest degree improbable. As to
all the talk about the “Senate hanging
up nominations, that seems sufficiently
disposed of by the fact that as soon as
the committees got to workfall the nom-
inations sent in were promptly report-
ed and confirmed. ,
In fact, the nominations that have.
been made thus far have been of a
character that would not admit of op-
. position, even if Senators had the dis-
position attributed to them. The Pres.
ident is taking his time, but he is mak-
ing ‘ selections for the important
places with a great deal of judgement.
He will probably disappoint a good
many Senators by his slowness in mak-
ing removals, but as regards appoint-.
ments the Senate’s advice and consent
is just as essential as the President’s
nomination, and the assumption that
there must be trouble between them ap-
pears thus far to be entirely gratuitous,

THE READINGli-GASEI
An Application to Issue Receivers’ Con
. tificatee to the Amount of 85,500,000.~
PHILADELPHIA, March. 22. -— Lawyer
JOhn G. Johnson of the Reading Com-
pany applied in the United. States Circuit
Court yesterday on behalf of Receivers
McLeod, Wilbur and Paxson, to issue
$5,500,000 receivers’ certificates. Judge
Dallas has been asked to "refer the appli-
cation to George L. Crawford,,thc Master,
to report. - '
The petition calls attention to the con-
dition of the company at the time the re-
ceivers issued their statement, February
20, and shows that since then the indebt-
edness of the company has increasediup-
ward of $42,000. The certificates are de-
sired for operating expenses, and will
have precedence of claim over all securi-
ties of the company. In granting the
order referring the petition of Mr. Craw-
ford, Master in the case, Judge Dallas has
so worded it that the funds will not be
immediately available.
A WOMAN- MURDERED.
Her Bruised Body Discovered in the
Woods of Connecticut.
GUILFORD, Ct., March 22.—-The body
of a Woman, apparently 40 years of age,
was found by a. woodcutter in a clump of
Woods near North Guilford. The woman
had, from appearances, been dead a num-
ber of days, but several marks and bruises
were found on different parts of the body,
which makes it appear that a murder has
been committed. The spot where the
body was found is not far from the char-
coal pits, where a number of woodcut-
ters are employed. For a week or more
several of these men have been on a spree,
and it is the belief that the woman was
murdered by some of the charcoal burn-
ers in a row and the body thrown into
the woods. The identity of the body has
not been determined.

To Tax Oyster Grounds.
For the first time since the begin-

New Haven is to tax the private beds
which are within . her jurisdiction.
Maps have been furmshed the assessors
and yesterday there was a meeting in
the Town hall of oyster growers in that
city, to be heard 'upon the matter.
There are a large number of valuable
beds in New Haven and if put into the
list they will‘increase 1t materially. It
is understood that Surveyor ID. U.
Sanford has furnished the assessors’
office in Brid eport. With maps of the
beds in that arbor and they Wlll be

Not much busmess was done in the
House yesterday When that body ”ad-
journed at the noon hour. On the
desk of every member were copies of
the New York World containing the
articles attacking the management of
the State prison. As the members
flied out of the chamber they were
buttonholed by. two of the New York
papers’ representatives, who wanted
the State’s representatives to say there
was something wrong about the prison’s
management. .
Most of‘ the members resented this
buttonholing. They said they did not
know as to the facts, but that a hearing
on the alleged mismanagement in pris-
on afi‘airs was appointed for this after-
noon and the entire subject would
doubtless r ceive, such ventilation and
correction as the circumstances called
for. Discussing. the affair in groups
the members expressed the opiniOn that
while the World’s articles might have a
semblance of truth for the basis, they
were sensational and highly colored for
a purpose.
The members of the lower House also
found on their desks a humorously sar-
‘castic poem on the Medical Practice
act..- Warden Chamberlain was at the
Capitol, and said he should appear
before the Prison committee to-day and
felt confident of refuting every charge
preferred against him. The members of
both Houses, while very weary of the
tactics pursued by the World men, are
willing to give the fullest investigation.

ported favorably on resolutions incor-

passes to members of the General As-
sembly. He said he understood the
railroad companies of the state were
ready that the bill should be repealed
and stood prepared to issue passes.
Cleveland made a strong speech in 0p-
position. He quoted the Massachusetts
law providing a fine of from $100 to

proffered a pass to a legislator or any
legislator who accepted one. This

the public. She is a hard working lit-
tle woman, never idle, her busy brain is
continually on the alert for something
new, something novel to place before
her patrons. She is a regular Noah’s
rk of curious talents, author, actress,
equestrienne, and dancing girl. With
a proneness in all characters to kick
out of the skirts of conventionality she
yet has the knack of doing it felicit-
ously in each. \Vhat she does is cred-
itably done, and the total impression of
the young lady is decidedly favorable
to her;

erstrom, as Aurora, has a part that
provides better opportunities than any
she appears to much better advantage.

no Brotherhoods Losing in the
" Ann Arbor Strike.
LEADERSjLOSlNG HEART IN
THEIR BATTLE.
Strikers Outline Their Defence in
Court.
TOLEDO, 0., March 22.—When Judge
Ricks began proceedings in the United
States Court yesterday the building was
crowded to its utmost capacity with loco-
motive engineers, conductors’, firemen,
railway ofiicials, attorneys and specia-
tors. One of the most important features,
so far, of the Ann Arbor strike came up
yesterday. The Lake Shore attorney, E. D.
Potter, ,and assistant counsel, and the
Hon. Frank Hurd and Hon. J. H. South-
ard constituted the legal talent acting in
the case. _
The point was made that Ann Arbor
freight had been refused, in violation of
the Interstate Commerce law, The- great
issue, Mr. Potter declared, was as to the
right of the trainmen to leave their situa-
tions. .
The Lake Shore attorney began his ad
dress to the court by reading the first re-
straining order issued by Judge Ricks, in
which the connecting lines of the Ann
Arbor Railroad Company, with their" em-
ployes, were enjoined from refusing to
handle the freight cars of that company.
He also read several rules of the company
which are issued to the engineers and
firemen when entering the service of the
Lake Shore. They referred particularly
to the duties of the men in obeying the
orders of their officers, and of the care
and handlingof the property of the com-
puny.
Mr. Potter offered in evidence the order
of the Lake Shore Company relating to
quick service, in which 100 miles’ wages
are allowed for that distance or less. The i
order felates wholly to time allOWed to
engineers and firemen.
The defence sets up the plea that the
men admit leaving their engines as soon
as they discovered Ann Arbor cars
coupled in the trains, but claimed they
had not yet received notice of the re-
markable court order. A day or We will
be consumed in taking testimony, which
thus far does not be'ar out the defence of
the strikers. .
The Brotherhood men are becoming
desperate, and Chiefs Arthur and Sargent
both declared that if the court’s orders
are carried out their orgalnizations are
practically dead. The present case will
undoubtedly go against them.
It developed that the first engineer
called to testify was asked if be under-
stood the order of the court, when he re-
ceived orders and retained to take out the
train, and said that he did. He was asked
if the Ann Arbor cars were taken out of
the yard by a switch engine if he would
handle them, and he said he would. ’
Fireman James, who was with him, said
that he felt the same as the engineer.
They took the engine back into the round
house. This will all come out in the trial
today and be dilated upon to such an
extent that a decidedly bad showing will
be made for the strikers.
Assistant Superintendent C. A. Sheldon
of the Lake Shore is in charge of that
road at this point, and tells how he had
received the printed copies of the order
issued by the court, and had them posted.
He relates the circumstances of the men
quitting work, showing much the same
I state of affairs as the testimony of Mr.
Bardeen.
Mr. Southard asked him why he showed.
the men the copies of Judge Rick’s order
after they had said that they had quit the
company. He said because they had not
appeared to be; in need of such informa-
tion before. He was asked why he read
it to them than and not before, when
they were in position to listen. He said
because he wanted‘to give them a. chance
to return to work.

AUTOGRAPHS BY WIRE.
Public Tests of Professor Gray’s Wonder-
, ful Invention in Chicago.
CHICAGO, March 22-.-—Professor Elisha
Gray’s tclautOgraph was publicly ex-
hibited yesterday. The telautograph, as
Its name implies, enables one to trans-
mit instantaneously by wire a dfac-simile
pf his handwriting to a distance. An or-
linary pen or pencil is employed. As it
moves a pen at the other end of the line
moves simultaneously and forms the
words and letters in precisely the same
way. Whatever is written at one end of
[he line is reproduced in fac-simile at the
Ither end.
The tests were entirely satisfactory,
many of them being made by the guests.
Writing, sketches, musical notation and
\tlcnographic characters were transmitted
with equal fidelity. The tests were made
5hrough artificial resistances representing
nany hundreds of miles of wire. ‘
A POSSIBLE cASUS BELLI.
France May Call Germany to Account
for Furnishing Arms to Behanzin.
PARIS, March 22.—Francc seems to
have found a casus belli against Germany
' in the latter’s actions in Dahomev.
The charge that Germans furnish arms
to King Behanzin has been investigated
by Gen. Dodds, who reports, that it is
true. . _
It is considered probable that this in-
cident will be the subject of diplomatic
'correspondence'between Paris and Ber-
lin, which may lead to se’rld‘u! conse-
IIiie’n'ces. h. __ _ - _
