Mrs. Blackmore known in theatrical circles as Miss Eliza Newton, died at Beilvieu hospital, New York, on Tuesday. 8he was born in Dumfries, Scotland, in 1847, the daughter of John Newton, a well-known English comedian. She was placed on the stage when a child.

The lootpad has deserted Indianapolis and is now located in Cincinnati, where he is doing a thriving business. It is only a few days since the press of the latter city roundly abused the Indianapolis police force for failing to exterminate these gentry. They now know how it is themselves, and have little to say on the subject.

In 1876 John Braadolz, of Chicago, took out a marriage license for himself and Lena Klar and took up his abode with her without further ceremony. The other day they were astonished to find themselves single with a promising family of five children on hand. After the discovery they had the marriage ceremony pe rformed with as little delay as possible.

A bill has been reported to the house eominittee on territories to admit Washington territory as a state, but it is not thought that it stands the remotest chance of success. There is opposition to it by the solid democratic vote, and representatives of eastern states are strongly opposed to the admission of any mote small states. They are especially jealous of the northwest, and it is now considered very doubtful that Dakota will succeed in gaining admission.

An officer of the interior department says the applicants for Indian agencies are of two classes. One is composed of shrewd men, who think they can contrive to make a fortune in the business, and the other is composed of benevolent men, who think or whose friends think, they can do the Indians sime good. The latter class, though well meaning, is composed in a great part of men deficient in business capacity, who have failed in other pursuits and are pretty sure to make a failure in the business department of agency work.

The office of public printer at Washington will Boon become vacant by the resignation of Hon, John D. Defrees. Mr. James H. McNeeJy of this paper is an applicant for the position. He has been endorsed by the entire Indiana republican congressional delegation and other influential friends. The appointment will probably not be made by the president for several weeks, as he wishes to give all applicants a fair opportunity to be heard. The office is one of great responsibility and importance, and requires a practical printer to fill it. There are several applicants.

Chicago is in a bad state, Last month the number of deaths was 1,178, against 1,020 in December. In January, 1881, the number of deaths was 97C, and in 18S0, 785. Filthy streets is the explanation offered. The deaths of 520Jchildren under five years of age were caused principally by atmospheric impurities. The principal deaths from zymotic diseases were as follows: Smallpox, 134 measles, 8 scarlatina, 30 diphtheria, 47 croup, 24 whooping-cough, 6 typhus fever, 2 typhoid fever, 62 cerebrospinal fever, 13 malarial fever, 13 diarrheal diseases, 21 other zymotic diseases, 40 total, 399.

General Elijah Ward died at his home at Roslyn, Long Island, on Tuesday morning. He was born at Sing ^Sing, N. Y, Sept. 16, 1816 received an academic education, and waa bred' a merchant in New York city, where h« was president of the mercantile library association in 1839. He studied law at the university of New York, and was ad' mitted to the bar 1843. He was elected a representative from New York to the thirty-fifth congress, and re-elected in 1860, and again in 1862. He was for years judge advocate general of New York, with the rank of brigadier general. He was also a member of the forty-fourth congress. He has always been prominently connected with the interests of New York city.

THE COXING APP0RTI0XBE5T It now seems almost a certainty that the Preecott bill, introduced by that gen. lleman in the house from the census committee, for the apportionment of congressional delegations, will soon become a law, in which event it will stand for ten years. It designates 320 as the number of members, an increase of twenty-seven over the present number.

In twelve of the states the representation will remain unchanged, as follows: Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon, Tennessee and WisconBon. Thirteen states will gain one member each, viz.: Arkansas, California, Georgia, Kentucky, Masaachmsetts. Mississippi, Wisconsin, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,vand Pennsyl

vania each gain two. KansiTgaLTth^ee

and Texas gains four, while Maine, New

Hampshire, Vermont-, Rhode Island, and Florida will lose one each

New England is the only portion of tha country which will lose in the new deal. For ten years its membership has been twenty-eight. The Prescoft bill reduces the number to twenty-five. Maine once had eight members, but it will now drop to four. Vermont goes down to two, whereas it once had five. From oneeighth of the representatives in congress in 1860, New England will descend to onethirteenth in 1882.

The new bill will increase the presidential electoral vote to 396, of which the free states will have 246 electors, and the old slave states 150, a majority of ninetysix in favor of the former. Should Washington and Dakota be Emitted to the Union the majority in favor of the free states would bs increased six. The nineteen states drained by the Mississippi and its tributaries will have 175 representatives, and will cast 213 electoral votes, handsome majorities in both cases, which may be used to advantage, ag all have many interests in common.

In another column will be found a communication referring to the burglaries which are nightly occurring in this city. It suggests that a sufficient sum of money be raised to shadow every suspected person by the detectives. That the crimes hav£ been committed by home talent there is no doubt, and that at least one of the individuals is known is equally certain, but as nothing but cash was taken by him, and as he could not be caught in the act it has thus far been impossible to make a case against him. The writer has met him at all hours of the night on the streets, sometimes alone and sometimes with companions, but never at a time when they could have any legitimate business on the thoroughfares. Years ago the citizens of Terre Haute when similarly afflicted organized patrols and cleared the city of the marauders in an incredibly short space ot time. A similar action at the present time would not b# inappropriate. Strangers who are prowling around late at night and early in the morning should be made to give an account of themselves. The police have wisely concluded to do this, but as policemen cannot be everywhere at once a strong patrol would be a valuable assistance to them, and would prove effectual in a very short time.

Captain Eads must have strong faith in the practicability of his ship railroad scheme, and is making every effort to have congress assist him. Here is the way he talks:

Should the United States decline the proposal I shall certainly be justified in going where lean get the necessary funds more easily. Should the stock then or afterward be controlled by EngHsh capitalists the commerce of the United States will be very differently affected. British commerce will then doubtless be favored to the fullest extent, and the commerce of the world, except that of Mexico, may be made to pay all that it will bear. More than this, the company will have the right, If It chooses, to ask the aid of the British Government under the terms of the concession, and if given, what IB called in England a "fighting interest" in the works would be then acquired by Great Britain, which would never be surrendered, except at the cost of a war that would cost probably ten times as much as the entire ship railway.

There is a strong lobby at work to have congress guarantee him the $50,000,000 required for the work, but there is little danger of its success. The house commerce committee would have reported adversely had not Eads withdrawn his proposition and transferred his operations to the senate.

Commissioner Loring, of the agricultural department, wants the government to establish experimental farms in various portions of the country. He thinks his department should have at its disposal 150 or 200 acres in the District of Columbia, and at carefully selected stations in different parts of the country farms of 100 acres each. The farmB should be of average good soil in these respective localities, well supplied with water, so that a

crops at certain seasons, and otherwise embracing a fair representation of the topographical features of the country contiguous to the location. Le Due's expsri menta in government farming were not of

what he wants in that direction.

Henry Lowther, earl of Lonsdale, died in London yesterday. He was born in 1818. He waa an ex-captain in the first life guards, member of parliament from West Cumberland from 1847 to 1S72, waa lord lieutenant of Cumberland from 1868, and lieutenant colonel of the Westmoreland yeomanry from 1871.

Thus far the new state house at Albany, New York, has cost $12,796,626.30, and the end is not yet. Several millions more will be required to complete it. New York is a state of magnificent jobs.

in congress from this, the eighth congressional district, will undoubtedly be a candidate for reelection. So. far as we know he has made a good representative aid is entitled to the support and good will of all the Republicans oi the district and should, ES matter of fairness, TO returned. We do not at this time know of an aspirant in this county for the position and hence Warren, in the convention, will have no fight to make. It is not reasonable to suppose that one term in such a position gives a man much chance to develop into an Orth, a Browne or a Hell man. It is only by a sedes of terms that our best'representatlves are made, and It Is that which places them in a position in the capital of rendering service to the party and commanding an influence which is respected. Then if we have a good representative in Mr. Peirce, why not old Warren rally to the support when the time comes and return him?

Be ginning with Ohio and excluding the Pacific slope, the gain is twenty-four, New York will gain one and Pennsylvania two members, and the rival states of Ohio and Illinois will have twenty-one members each. The twenty-two free states will have 202 members, and the sixteen southern states 118, a msjority of eightyfour in favor of the former.

ligent representative, who is steadily gaining the gocd opinion and friendship of public men at Washington, and is rapidly becoming one of the best representatives there. He has great influence with the administration and with his fellow members.' He is a growing and rising man, and his district has good reason to be proud of him.

The commissioner of the general land office wants his clerical force increased until the end of the present fiscal year. He says there aie 16,000 land entries awaiting the issue cf patents, and that the present force cannot complete the work in less than six months, and in respect to the mineral lands the arrears are still greater.

Tbe Sullivan-Ryan Fight. NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 8.—The betting on the battle ground was brisk, and about $80,000 changed hands. The specials show that fully $500,000 was wagered OD the result in New York, Boston and Chicago. The fight was fair and square from the start, and Sullivan owed his victory to his wonderful blows and endurance. The ciowd behaved in a very orderly manner on the gronnd and trains, not a row occurring during the day. The committee of one hundred determined, well-armed men kept peace. The train reached the city at 7 o'clock this evening with the fighters and some Jthink if the fight had been longer, Ryan might have whipped Sullivan, who was out of wind at the close. Business was largely interfered with here on account of the fight, and large numbers of people were absent from the city. There|is a perfect quiet now, as the crowds have dispersed. Ryan remains at Mississippi City to recover, and Sullivan has reached New Orleans and will leave at once for Chicago, where he will begin a round of sparring exhibitions He is considered by all who saw him as the hardest hitter ever seen in an American prize ring.

NEW ORLEANS,Feb. 8.—Ryanisattlie the hotel here suffering considerably from the punishment yesterday, but will be all right in a day or two.

WHAT THE WOMEN THINK ABOl5T IT. TROY, N. Y., February 8.—Paddy Ryan's wife says "I do not believe Paddy has fought. Have heard nothing from him, except through the newspapers He told me when he fought that he would send a dispatch, whether he won or lost. I think the report that he was whipped, is paper new?. It waa juat so before the Goea fight. The newspapers said a week before the fight that it wss over and Paddy was whipped aDd Sullivan never could whip Paddy. I know he could not." Mrs. Gettins, Ryan's mother-in-law, brandished ier bare arm, and said: "No indeed he couldn't. I could lick that man Sullivan meself."

Three Bodies Found. LAWRENCEVILLE, III., February 8.— A colored man reached town yesterday afternoon breathless with fright and excitement and stated that he had found three dead bodies in the woods, seven miles above here, near the banks of the Embarrass river, all men, and dying face downward. The bodies were well decomposed and unrecognizable. A possee of citizens immediately left ior the place.

ST. LOUIS, February 3.—The three dead bodies found in the woods near Lawrenceville, Illinois, yesterday, _upon investigation proved to be the remains of three rather hard characters, whose death waa evidently caused by exposure.

The Dally Rascal.

PETERBORO, N. H., February 8.—The intelligence of the arrest of President Elliott and Vice President Sawyer, of the Riley County Bank, Manhattan, Kansas, fell like a thunderbolt here. There was implicit confidence here in the financial transactions of Sawyer, and large sums were placed with him for investment. Elliott removed from Meredith, N. H., to Kan&as, a few.months ago. Officers have gone to Meredith to see if they can find any of Elliott's property to attach.. Sawyer formerly represented Sharon county for neveral years in the New Hampshire Legislature. New Hampshire parties sent over $100,000 to the Riley County Bank.

THE APPORTIONMENT BILL. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 8.—Indications point very clearly to the rejection of the appending apportionment bill in the House in its present shape. The Democrats are generally against it, and many Republicans are openly opposing it. Representative Blackburn says it is ao unjust measure, that it ignores the rapidly growing Western States and gives the increase in Representatives to the Eastern States, that are declining in population. He sayB it will be rejected by 40 msjority. Page says it is founded upon injustice, and it will be beaten badly. Blount says it is infamous. He is satisfied that it will be beaten. Pound feels sure the bill will be rejected. Sparks is opposed to it, and predicts its defeat. It was supposed that as this bill conferred the increase proposed upon the larger States, it it would get the support of the delegations from thoBe States, but this is not so. Several members for Pennsylvania now do not think the bill ought to pass. One substitute that will be offered for the pending bill will propose to fix the membership of the House at 321, as that would distribute the representation, it is claimed, more equitably among the fractions than any other number. The Democrats generally favor a smaller number, and it will be proposed from their side to keep the House at its present figure, 293. Some of those who have studied the drift of opinion think 307 will be the number finally adopted.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, February 8.—New York Democrats in the House are preparing to antagonize the tariff commission bill adopted by the Ways and Means Committee, on the ground that it is a mere subterfuge, framed and intended to perpetuate the present protective tariff. They intend to make an issue on the bill, if the party can be brought together. A caucus will be held to map out a line of action. A prominent Democratic leader of the House Baid, this afternoon: "Our policy is to show the iniquities of the protective system, and to expose the sham that is present in this bill. It is nothing more nor less than a scheme to quiet the demand of the people for tariff reform, by a pretense of doing something. Democrats should take a determined stand, and maintain it courageously. But the trouble is that we have got a few black sheep smongst us, who are just stronj enough to prevent our doing anything. There are a few Democratic members who are subservient to Kelly and the protectionists, and they will, of course, attempt, as they have done hitherto, to handicap the Democratic party in Congress and prevent it from making a record in favor of tarifl reform. I don't believe they can succeed this time. For my part I am determined that I shall not be muzzled."

It is evident that there will be strong Democratic opposition to the Kasson bill, but there is a sentiment on that side of the House in favor of compromising on ths tariff commission, provided the power to create the commission shall be vested in Congress, or that the commission shall consist of members of Congress.

Representative Ermentrout, of Pennsylvania, Democrat, Bays he will not be bound by any party action on the subject of tariff, and will so declare in caucus. He will admit th^J the Commission bill adopted by the WayB and Means committee is not intended to accomplish anything that its purpose is more to prevent changes in the tariff than anything else, batit is Pennsylvanias8 interest to perpetuate protection, and he intends to vote for it, regardless of any action his party may take.

SUDDEN PROMOTION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—The Senate, in executive session, devoted considerable time to a discussion of the practice of promoting officers of the Army and Navy over the heads of others above them in rank, and appointing civiliaBs to positions over the heads of officers. The subject came up through consideration of the nomination of Theodore Wilson, of New York, to be Chief of the Bureau of Constrnctionof the Navy. Wilson was jumped over several above him in rank and service in that very bureau. The sense of the Senate was opposed to this practice. Several Senators said they would vote against all nominntions hereafter where the nominee is jumped over the heads of others, because it always proceeded from favoritism, and was unjust to the officers thus deprived of rightful promotion.

LAWLESS ARIZONA.

WASHINGTON, February 8.—The President, in a special message to Congress, transmitted a communication from Secretary Kirkwood, enclosing letters from Acting Governor Gasper, of AriSona, in relation to the lawlessness in that Territory. The President calls attention to the recommendation in his annual message, that the posse comitatus act be amended or modified so as to permit the use of the military in assisting the civil authorities in the Territories to maintun order, and suggests again that such legislation seems to be required. In his communication, Secretary Kirkwood states that in New Mexico and Arizona the difficulty in the way of reprewing lawlessness arises from the fact that Sheriffs are intimidated, or that from personal motives they desire to curry favor with the disorderly elements of society. It is therefore suggested whether it would not be expedient and proper that authority should be conferred by law upon the Governor of any Territory to remove or suspend the Sherifi for neglect of duty, and appoint another person in his place. In a letter dated the 19th of Deoember, acting Governor Gasper, of Arizona, urges the repeal of the poece comitatus act as the best means of giving that Territory relief from the reckless rule now purging the peace and liberty of otherwise favored portions of the Territory.

The acung Governor estimates that the whole number of cowboys, which term he says includes skilled cattle thieves and highway robbers, in the county of Cachise, where most of the trouble has occurred, at from twentv-five to fifty. Other bands are scattered over the territory. Besides cowboys, there is a class much larger in number of the good Lord and good devil kind, who keep up a secret partnership with the robbers, and profit by their lawlessness.

THE PACIFIC RAILWAYS.

A prominent member of the House Committee on Pacific Railroads, on the subject of the proposed compulsory forfeiture of land grants by Various railroad companies which have not complied with the law, says it is quite probable that the Pacific Railroad committee will not act in the matter until after the Judiciary Committee has decided as to the power which was vested in the respective railroads by the issuance of land grants. The gentleman added, "To compel the railroads to give up these lands would undoubtedly work a great hardship, and the question is one of great importance."

Foreign News GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, Feb. 8.—In the -Commons this afternocn, Justin McCarthy, on behalf of the Irish members, gave notice of along amendmednt to the address categorically condemning every point on the Government's Irish policy and urging an immediate return to constitutional methods.

LONDON, Feb. 8.—In the debate on the address in reply to the Queen's speech, in the Commons this afternoon, Northcote assailed the Government's policy. Gladstone, in an eloquent speech, vehemently attacked the Land League, and highly eulogized Forster's efforts to restore order.

With regard to the commercial treaty with France, Gladstone said the question had for some|time been whether to break off negotiations, but they had not yet arrived at a point to warrant Uiis course.

He upheld the impartiality of the Commissioners under the Land Act and said the average rent reductions so far was 23 per cent. In regard to the Land League's war against all property, he said he thought there was every indication that a great conspiracy had not only been confronted, but defeated.

P. J. Smyth, Home Rule member for Tipperary, moved an amendment to the address, in favor of the repeal of the Union.

The debate was then adjourned. LONDON, February 8.—The first of the nflV rales of proceedure which Gladstone will move in the Commons on Monday invests the Speaker, or chairman of the committee, with authority to put the proposition that the question before the House be now put. The proposition will not be debatable, but in order for its adoption on division it must be supported by more than twenty, or opposed by less than forty members. The second rule is designed to restrict the right of numbers to make dilatory motions in Committee of the Whole, and limits such right to one time for each member, dnring debate on any one question, to move either that the chairman do report progress, or that the chairman do leave the chair. No member shall speak more than once to each seperate motion, and no member who has made one of these motions may make another motion on the same question. No member shall move to adjourn the House before the order of the day, or motions or papers, as the case may be, have been reached, but provision is made for enabling matters of extreme urgency to be brought before the House without notice, and without delay.

Rules 3, 4, 5 and 6 are devoted to the same subject, viz: the authority of the Speaker or chairman to silence members occupying the time of the House with irrelevant motions or discussion. The seventh rule limits the number of occasions on which the principle of th bill may be discussed. This rule is intended to confine the discuwion of the principle to the introduction, second reading and third reading. The eighth rale is intended to modify the existing half past twelve rule, which prevents official business being taken after that hour at night. In future, notice of the opposition, to be effective as a block, will require to be given by a certain number ef members, instead of one, and the 12:30 rule will b« made inapplicable to the report and third reading of bills. The ninth rule provides that when a member is "named" by the Speaker or chairman for disregarding his authority, or abasing the rules of the House, the Speaker shall forthwith propose his suspension, which, if carried, shall, on the first occasion, be tor one week on the second occasion, for one month, and on the third occasion for the remainder of the session. The twelfth rule is intended to cut eff debate or amendment on the qaestion of voting the Speaker out of the chair when the Government has put down supply as the first order of the day.

Proposals are appended for creating

large committees to be nominated partly by the Honee and partly by a committee of selection, and bills referred to these standing committees will not be required to be submitted te Committee of the Whole House, bat discussion and amendment of the bill will be taken en report. Bills referable to standing committees are to be those relating to law, trade, ahipping and manufacturer. The committees are to consist of from sixty to eighty members.

The Times says the effect of the first rule will be that "cloture" will be carried if voted by 201 yeas to 200 nays, or 40 yeas to 39 yeas.

J, Davis into his employ as associate manager, he has been betrayed by him, as Davis has, by sharp and unworthy devices, secured the lease ot the property from the date on which his (Hamlin's) lease expires. Hamlin claims that the lease so obtained by Davis while in his employ must be held in trust for him (Hamlin), and that it is Davis' duty to assign it to him, which Davis has refused to de. Owing to the insolvency of Davis, Hamlin fears an assignment, and prays an injunction restraining the negotiation or cancellation of the lease. Juage Barnnm granted the injunction.
