SHAPE. _- Application for a Receiver for the Thompson and Houston Co. NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-—An application was made yesterday for the appointment of a receiver for the Thompson and Hous- ton Electric company by a judgment creditor. In reply to the motion on behalf of the company it was alleged that the company was totally unable to 'pay the amount of the judgment or numerous other claims against it; that the interest on its bonded indebtedness, amounting to $18,000, due last September, was still un- paid and that it had not sufficient funds nor the immediate prospect of funds to pay the running expenses from day to day. It was feared that the appointment of a receiver would more seriously embarf rass the company and depreciate the value of its stock and property. It was therefore asked that the court with the appointment of a receiver grant an injunc- tion restraining creditors from taking proceedings against the company or in- terfering with its . prosperity. Decision reserved. ' ‘ ' WANTS A FULL‘ PAR-DON. Bank of England Forger Bidwell “'ill Confer \Vith Mr. Gresham. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.——George Bidwell, the Bank of England forget, is in VVash— ington to secure the assistance of the state department in obtaining for him a full and free pardon from the British gov- ernment. He will probably call on Sec- retary Gresham to-day. .Bidwell, with his brother and two other Americans, was convicted in England of forging Bank of England notes aggregating £1,000,000 and the four were sentenced to life imprison- ment. After serving 15 years George Bid- well was released on ticket-of—leave and. five years later secured the release of the others. During General Harrison’s ad~ ministration an effort was made to secure pardons for the men but it was unsuccess- i'ul because the British government, ac- cording to Bidwell, was afraid he would return to England and expose the prison system there.‘ Bidwell says he has letters recommending the granting of a pardon from Chauncey M. Depew, Lyman J. Gage, Robert G. Ingersoll, and others. Boston Murder Mystery.

Dalzell Indulge‘ln an Acrimonlous Discussion—Bond Resolutions Engage the Senate. ' WASHINGTON, J an. 19.-—The proposed issue of 5' per cent. bonds was the subject of two resolutions offered in the senate yesterday by two pOpulist senators, and was subsequently referred to in a discus- sion on a bill not even remotely connected with it. The resolutions came from Sen- ators Pefler, Ram, and Allen, Neb., and were to the efiect that there is no lawful authority for the issuing and selling of bonds as proposed, and that, if so issued and sold, they will be null and void. The resolutions were laid over and will .come up for action next week. The question was again touched upon in connection ith a bill appropriating $40,000 for an equestrian statue in Manchester, N. H., to a revolutionary hero, Gen. John Stark. Mr. Morgan, dem., Ala., said that the government was actually too poor to honor the memory of heroic ancestors, when it had to borrow at 5 per cent. “on a questionable use of the statutes.” Mr. Stewart, rep., >Nev., spoke of the bond issue as a war measure, although there was no enemy in sight—the invisible enemy being the money power. And Mr. Daniel, dem., Va., spoke of the treasury deficit as likely to be continued and in- creased for some years by the “scheme of taxation which had been prOpOSed,” plainly alluding to the Wilson tariff bill. The Stark monument bill was passed; and then Mr. Vest, dem., Mo., spoke in favor of the house bill to repeal the Fed- eral election'laws. After a short execu- tive session the senate adjourned till Monday. ' House of Representatives. There was two very interesting ques- tions engaging the attention of the house, one being a proposition submitted by Mr. Burrows to substitute the wool clause of the McKinley law for that of the W'ilson bill. Almost the entire day,was taken up in the discussion of the question, and many interesting and amusing speeches were made. The proposition wasdefeated ,by a vote of 77 ayes to 151 noes. The re- sult was a foregone conclusion, but con- trary to the opinions of some it was a strict party vote. The second proposition was one submit- ted by Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio, a large manufacturer of. steel rails, putting steel rails on the free list. In the course of the discussion which followed, Mr. Dalzell, rep., Pa., made some sensational charges against Mr. Johnson’s business methods. The house took a recess before disposing of the matter, and to-day Mr. Dalzell will conclude his remarks and Mr. Johnson will reply to his allegations. For a time Mr. Johnson, rep., Ind., cre- ated considerable amusement by his per— sistency in demanding ' recognition. ”When the chair recognized Mr. Stone after Mr. Johnson had ,been again un~ successful in gaining recognition, the lat- ter cried out: “Then I would suggest that the chair cast his eyes in this direction when the gentleman from Pennsylvania finishes his remarks.” When Mr. Stone took his seat Mr. Johnson was on his feet, but the” chair- manirefused to recognize him, and said that Mr. Fithian, dem., 111., had the floor. Mr. Johnson continued to shout for recognition, but for a time his voice was drowned by the pounding of the speaker’s gavel. \Vhen he could be heard he asked whether he was to be put in the same category with the gentleman from Maine, Mr. Boutelle. The chairman pounded for order, and when this was secured Mr. Fithian proceeded to speak. He created some excitement by arraigning the secre- tary of the treasury for attempting to sell bonds. “He has no more right to issue bonds than I have,” asserted Mr. Fithian, “except in so far as specified in the re sumption act. He has no right to raise a single dollar by the issue ’of bonds.” Be- publican applause. “Then let us impeach him,’ ’ said Mr. Reed, sotto voce. Mr. Johnson, rep., kid, at last suc- ceeded in receiving recognition, and fol- lowed out to the end the line of reasoning laid down by the previous speaker. Mr. Johnson talks at a very rapid rate and at times is difficult to follow, on this account. ' Mr. Pence, p0p., COL, who fol- lowed Mr. Johnson, submitted to repeated interruptions from the Indiana member, but finally silenced , Mr. Johnson and raised a laugh against him by saying that he had always heard that it was an axiom that “the smaller the windmill the faster it runs.” . Mr. Springer, de1n., I_ll., spoke briefly in favor of free wool, and in the course .of his remarks there was a question of ac- curacy raised by Mr. Grosvenor, rep., 0. He made the statement that there had been a decrease in the number of sheep in Ohio in recent years; and when Mr. Bur- rows asked him to' explain the cause of this decrease, Mr. Springer said thought- fully that he supposed it, was because there were less sheep now than formerly. Great laughter on the republican side. Then Mr. Springer innocently asked Mr. Burrows to explain why there were less sheep in Michigan now than a few years ago. This was Mr. Burrows’ opportunity and amid the laughter of the republicans he replied that it was probably to be ac- counted for by the fact that ‘there was a feWer number of sheep. “I make that answer,” explained Mr. Burrows, “be. cause it is probably within the compre- hension of the gentleman from Illinois.” Republican laughter. After the disposition of the wool ques- tion Mr. Johnson, dem., 0., who is a large manufacturer of steel rails, introduced an amendment putting steel rails on the free list. An interest-ing and acrimonious dis- cussion followed in which Mr. Dalzell, rep., Pa, accused Mr. Johnson of making false statements in the house recently and of altering the congressional record. He devoted considerable time to the question ees in scrip. He also sent to the desk and hadread some newspaper articles accus- ing Mr. Johnson of irregular proceedings in the issue and redemption of this scrip. May Fight in Georgia.

A Heavily Loaded Bomb FOund Against the Police Station. ‘ LANCASTER, Pa., Jan. 18.—Great excite- ment prevails here over the discovery yes- terday of a dynamite bomb which had been placed against a four-story building adjoining the police station. The bomb contained half a pound of dynamite, en- cased in lead pipe carefully closed, with nitrO-glycerine caps and fuse. The latter had been lighted but for some reason had failed to burn. There is no clue to the dynamiters, whose object in trying to blow up the building is unknOWn. Dynamite to Intimidatc Him.

Gold ‘Bond‘s on a 8 .Per5 Cent. . Basis. Running Ten Years. “'ASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Secretary Caro lisle has just issued the following circu- lar: . ' By virtue‘ of authority contained in the act entitled “An act to providefor the‘re- sumption of specie payments,” approved Jan, 14,1875, the secretary of the treas- uary hereby ofiers for public subscription an issue of bonds of the United States to the amount of $50,000,000, in, either regis- tered or coupon form, in denominatiOns of $50 and upwards, redeemable in coin at pleasure after ten years frbm the date of their issue and bearing interest, payable quarterly in coin, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. ~ ' , Proposals for the whole or any part of these bonds will be received at the trees ury department, office of the secretary, until 12 o’clock, noon, on the first day of February, 1894. Proposals should state the amount of bonds desired, whether registered or coup- on, and the premium which the subscriber proposes to pay, the place where it is de ' sired that the bonds shall be delivered, and the omce, whether that of the treas- urer of the United States or an assistant treasurer of the United States, where it will be most convenient for the subscriber to depositthe amount of his subscription. may cause the proposal to be rejected. As soon as practicable, after the first day of Feb. 1894, the allotment of bonds will be made to the highest bidders there- for, but no proposal will be considered at a lower price than 117.223, which is the equivalent of a 3 per cent. bond at par, and the light to reject any and all pro- posals is hereby expressly reserved. In case the bids entitled to allotment exceed the bonds to be issued, they will be .alloted pro rata. Notices of the date of delivery of the bonds will be sent to the subscribers to practicable, and within ten days from the . date of such notice subscription must be paid in United States gold coin to the treasurer or such assistant treasurer of the United States as the subscriber has designated, and if not so paid the proposal may be rejected. The bonds will be dated Feb. 1, 1894, and when payment is made therefor, as above, accrued interest on both principal and premium from Feb. 1, 1894, to date of payment, at the rate of interest realized to the subscriber on his investment will be added. 5 All proposals Should be addressed tothe secretary of the treasury, Washington, D. 0., and should be distinctly marked “PI-Oposals for subscriptions to 5 per cent. bonds.” J. G. CARLISLE,-Secretary. Copies of the circular will be mailed to- day to all sub-treasuries. The action of Secretary Carlisle in an- nouncing a bond issue was not generally known even in treasury circles until this morning. Among the officials who were cognizant of his intention the opinion was expressed that he acted none to soon. Treasury gold israpidly on the decline. The loss yesterday was $862,000, and since the first of the month the gold balance has declined from $80,891,000 to $70,634,915, with the present indication that it will fall below $70,000,000 to-day. The bonds are, of course, to be purchased with gold only, so the treasury gold'will be built up to the extent of the bond issue. This, however, it is anticipated, may only give temporary relief. Gold may be paid into the treasury for bonds one day and the very next day the same gold may be withdrawn by presenting legal tender The effect of the bond issue, however, will be to give the treasury more money, whether gold or currency is immaterial, and ease up government finances at least for the present.

Attorney-General Pillsbury on the . Lizzie Borded Case." - . . BOSTON, Mass, J an. 18.—In his annual report, Attorney-General Albert E. Pills- bury refers as follows to the case'of Liizio Borden, whose trial on the charge of hav- ing murdered her. father and mother-- caused suchla sensation: . ' “This case attracted the public atten- ' —.-—- _ ‘ Alter Supporting American Railroad ' tion to a degree unprecedented fer many years, and was the subject of extended and heated discussion . and comment, much of which was in the last degree ill- informed, intemperate and calculated to prejudice both the commonWealth and the accused. There are indications that the public discussion of the matter, and the resulting popular excitement, affected the conduct as well as the result of the trial. The history of the case furnishes abundant evidence that reckless and un- _, discriminating comment publicly made. on the merits of a pending judicial pro- ceeding, of which the whole truth is rarely if ever, known to the public. affects the integrity of the judicial system and is inconsistent with the proper administra- tion of the laws. .It will serve to awaken the attention of the courts, in whose hands is the only practicable remedy, to the necessity of protecting themselves so far as possible a ainst exterior influences calculated to pe ert the course of justice, which are as likely to be invoked in be- half of the guilty as of the innocent, and which, if they protect a victim of mistaken accusation to-day, may destroy another to—morrow. . “The experience of this case has led to the suggestion that it~may become expe- dient to provide for a right of exception by the commonwealth in criminal cases. It has been doubted whether this can be done consistently with the rule that a person sh "l1 not be twice put in jeopardy for the sane offence. But there is no such prohibition in our constitution, and the provision of the constitution of the United States to this effect does not apply to the states. I am not yet convinced, however, of the necessity of so important and radical a change in our criminal pro- cedure, especially as I doubt if it would prove to be of practical value; though In-re is some reason to believe that the criminal law may be warped out of the right line by the marked and perhaps natural inclination to rule doubtful points in a capital trial, hOWever import- ant, in favor of the accused.” Successful Profit Showing. FALL RIVER, Mass, --J an. 18.—-The cm- ployes of the Bourne mill have received their ninth semi-annual dividend in the profit sharing plan that has been in oper- ation at the mill during the past three and one-half years.

These sums are inde- pendent of and in addition to the regu- lar wage list of. the mill, which is the same as the other mills in the city. Geo. A.

Davis, formerly a merchant in Mas- sachusetts, came to Spokane and pur- chased two tickets, one over the Union and one over the Northern Pacific to San Francisco. On these tickets be checked his fOur trunks, which ware filled with opium. Davis acknowledged that he was highly connected in the east, and that when he came west he could find nothing to do, so he started in this lucrative busi- ness and has been carrying it on for sev- eral months. It is believed that he gave an assumed name, but that his smuggling operations reach several hundred thou- sand dollars. He was captured justas’ he was boarding the train with his baggage.- Fatal H ailway “'reck. FAIRVIEW, N.

Two of the men were crushed to death and nearly every one of the others was more or less injured, same of them, it is feared, fatally. The injured men were taken to the Hoboken hospitals. As the Italians were known only by numbers, they were not easily identified. All of the Italians were employed by Broadhead and Hickey. The foundation of the trestle was very , marshy, and that is supposed to be the reason for its giving way. Brockway Wins :1 Suit. ELMIRA, N. Y., Jan. 18.——When the cast of Charles J.

Willi-glut ISSUE I Englishmen . Preparing (A to, Buy Our Gold Bonds. Securities They Believe They Should Be Given a Show at Our Gilt-Edged Securities—Syndicate Formed. LONDON, Jan. l9.—The issuance by See- retary .Carlisle of a. circular inviting sub- scriptions for bonds is the chief topic of conversation on the Stock Exchange. The consensus of opinion is that Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle ought to popularize the Issue by placing at least one-third of the bonds in London. The operatOrs argue that as England has supported American railroad securities, many of which have turned out badly, it would be right for Mr. Carlisle to allow London to subscribe ' to what will be gilt-edged securities. Several arbitrage houses have cabled to their agents that the issue will be read- Ily subscribed for here, and instructing the agents that unless a portion of the bonds issued are placed injLondon toinake tenders for them in New York on be- half oijnglish clients. Influenced by the prospect of the issue thistock market has been firmer and ac Ive. Effect on “fall Street. WALL STREET, NEW YORK, J an. .19.— The announcement that Secretary Car- lisle would offer 850,000,000 of 5 per cent. bonds on a 3 per cent.,ba‘sis strengthened the stock market at the opening of busi- ness. , London bought nearly 12,000 shares of stock and some of the more timid of the shorts’ rushed to cover. The local and foreign buying resulted in an advance of X to 1% per cent. in which Rock Island, St. Paul, Sugar, Burlington and Quincy, Louisville and Nashville, Manhattan, New England, Union Pacific and Western Union were most conspicuous. When the London orders were filled the market began to sag and after a period of extreme dulness the bears renewed their attacks. They sold the Grangers, General Electric and Chicago Gas, their sales during :the afternoon being estimated at betvveeu 15,000 and 20,000 shares. , Bond-Buying Syndicate. NEW YORK, J an. 19.—Pliny Fisk, of Harvey Fisk and sons, large dealers in government bonds, said that his house had made up a syndicate to bid for $100,- 000,000 of bonds. Mr. Fisk thought it would have been better to have made an, issue for that amount and close the whole lot out in a single transaction. However there was no doubt that the issue an- nounced would be promptly taken, Whether hislfirm and people associated with them would make an offer for any large amount has not yet been determined. .There was plenty of time in which to reach a conclusion.
