OBITUARY.

JOHN BRIGHT.

The death of John Bright occurred in London on the morning of March 27th, aiter an illness extending nearly two years. He was born in Lancashire. November 16, 1811, of Quaker parents. In 18C2 his father set up a hand loom in the neighborhood of Rochdale, thus laying the foundation ot the cotton spinning industry which the sons developed. John's earnestness, common-sense estimate of every question and his marked faculty for impressing the common people with homely arguments, have been widely attributed to his Quaker training and simplicity of early manners. He was in part educated at Ackvvorth, a well known Friends' school, and latter went to school at York and Newton. In February, 1827, when a little more than fifteen years old, he entered his father's business, but was already so much interested in public affairs that, in 1830, he began to speak at temperance meetings near Koclidale. He took a warm interest in the movement in 1835 for national education and was brought in contact with Richard Cobden, of whom he was a faithful ally on the subject of free trade. In 1841, Bright entered tbe struggle against the corn laws, which first brought him prominently before the public. He attacked the problem on moral rather than on political grounds. In 1843 he was nominated for Parliament as representative of Durham, and though at first defeated he was elected at a second contest after his opponent had been unseated for bribery. He made his first speech in Parliament in support of a motion concerning the customs revenues, and wa3 largely instrumental in securing the abolition ii ihe corn laws. He opposed the measure fixing a days work at 10 hours, though his own workman forwarded a petition favoring it. The other important subjects upon which he worked at that tune were various proposals for the relief of Ireland and the search for a supply of cotton outside of America. Mr. Bright shared with Cobden the abhorrence of war which led to the peace cong ess of that time. When England drifted into war with Russia, Bright opposed the government and his own constituents, and in 1855 he made some memorable speeches against the continuance of the war. In 1856 he retired from Parliament, but was returned by Birmingham in August 1857. He was conspicuous in his support of the Union during the Rebellion, in 1861-65, though his own interests (the cotton) suffered largely thereby. His labors in favor of increased franchise were constant and earnest. He retired from Parliament in 1870. In 1873 he was appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, which position he held until 1874. In 1880 he was again honored with this position, but resigned in 1882, when the war was begun with Egypt. He was twice married, his first wife living but two years. Four sonH and three daughters blessed his second marriage. He was a champion of Irish rights in Parliament when it required a man of nerve to be outspoken on the subject. He was not identified, however, with tbe Irish National id»a, and or late years became comp'etely alienated from Irish interests and was one of Gladstone's most powerful opponents on theh^me rule scheme. He was an orator of extraordinary power, and in the days of his vigor rendered greater service to the Liberal cause than any other man in England.

HE WAS NOT A TRAMP.

lint Had I'l'nty of Money lo Surprise His Bewildered BtlaliTeo.

Daniel Maurry, brother of the wife of John W. Sayers, a wealthy slate manufacturer of Bangor, Pa., went West over thirty years ago. Becoming homesick, he disposed of his business to advantage and started eastward. Last Saturday afternoon, looking like a tramp, he appeared in Bangor, and was hooted at by boys whom he met. He entered the factory of John Sayers, who recognized bim, and, although ashamed of his appearance, took him to his home, where his wife, Murray's sister, gladly welcomed him. Ho complained of poverty and old age, and desired a place where be could be cared for. Mr. and Mrs. Sayers assured him that bis houie could be with them. Thanking them, with tears in his eves, be reached into his boot and pulled out a roll of bills. From a waist-belt he took more greenbacks and a sack of gold from a hidden pocket more money, and f».oin another on* more bilis, Until he had astonished them with thousands of dollars. He then said he thus appeared to test their worth. Shaved, bathed and clothed in a new suit which he extracted from h|s valise, he has paralyzed Bdngorians.

S LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM.

Chief Jus ic® Fuller's Daughter Runs Away to be Married—A Cliieago Romance Terminated. •„,.*

Mies Pauline Fuller, the fifth daughter of_ Chief Justice Fuller, was married in Milwaukee Tuesday ni/ht at the Kirby House by a Justice of the Peace. The groom was J. Matt Aubery, Jr., of Chicago, and it was a runaway match. When the 6:30 train arrived last evening a petite woman was helped off the steps ot the parlor-car by a well-knit young man with a smooth face. The ]ady was closely veiled and was escorted to a carriage by her companion. They were driven at once to the Kirby House where they registered. No room was assigned to them and the lady and her companion speat the early evening in the hotel parlors. About 9 o'clock the young man came down stairs and informed the clerk that he wanted a Justice of the Peace. Inside of fifteen minutes Justice Gregory arrived. There was a hurried consultation, and then the youn* man brought the blushing young lady forward. The ceremony was a brief one, and the Justice, who is a very prosaic old gentleman, put on no extra frills. He did not know that tbe bride was the daughter of the Chief Justice of the United States, and neither did any of those who were present outside of the contracting parties.

When the ceremony was concluded the old Justice called for witnesses, and two young men were captured in a billiard room and ran to fix their signatures to the necessary document. The knot was legally and hrmly spiiced.

Mrs. Aubery is nineteen years of age, highly educated and a remarkably handsome woman. J. Matt Aubery, Jr., is twenty-three years of age. He is the son of the General Western Agent of the Merchants' Despatch fast freight line. J. M. Aubery. fr., has been a resident of Chicago since 1876, when he left Milwaukee. He is well-known here, and Congressman Isaac Vanscha ck is one of his most intimate friends. Young Aubery is employed in his father's office in Chicago. He is a handsome young lellow.

As near as can be learned the acquaintance of the bride and groom began about three years ago. Justice Fuller, who was then plain Lawyc-r Fuller, lived with his eight daughters on Lake avenue, only a short distance from the home of young Aubeiy. The young people, first met at a party given in the neighborhood. An attachment sprang up between them, a nd when it became apparent i*. was opposed by the Fullers. Miss Pauline declared, however, that she would marry whom she pleased, and her father recognized her right to do as she pleased. Mrs. Fuller continued to oppose the match. About this time Lawyer Fuller was named as Chief Justice of the United States. Mrs. Fuller packed up and carried Miss Pauline away to Washington with the other Misses Fuller. About the 1st of la3t January Miss Pauline came to Chicago and has since rema ned in that city, visiting friends of the family. The story of tbe elopement of the young pair is an interesting one and demonstrates that young Aubury has cut his eye teeth. To begin, he hired two detectives to shadow him and his affianced until they left Chicago. His object was to learn if any one was following them and to prevent the young lady being rescued. It was early in the aiternoon when he met Miss Ful!er. and aChicago candy store was the try sting place. They boarded a Mil waukee & St. Paul train at the Union Depot at 3:30 o'clock and came riirect to this city.

Mrs. Fuller, wife of the Chief Justice, is going to Chicago to see her daughter and son-in-law. Despite her first inclination not to go, neither her husband nor herself could rest easy until they have seen their daughter and been made acquainted with provisions for h^r future welfare. The hasty marriage has been a blow to them,

THE SALT SYNDICATE.

A Eig Combination of Capitalists But Not a "Trust.."

Spccial from NewIYork. The news that a big salt trust is to be organized does not seem to trouble the salt dealers of this city very much. Many dealers said it would be impossible for a trust to exist, as it would be impossible for a body of capitalists to control the output and saleas ir, is so abundant throughout the country, and should such an organization be made it would not last long, as the profits would be small. Notwithstanding these statements a syndicate is being organized here to go into the the salt business on a big scale. The syndicate expect to control the price and improve the quality of the article. F. B. Thnrber, who is one of the promoters of the scheme, in speaking to a reporter on the sulject Thursday, said: "It's no trust, we are simply forming a syndicate of capitalists to purchase good salt works, and with good machinery and improved process of manufacture we vmII turn out a better article at a much less prce. We will have a capital of $1O,0u0,0"0, and I am sorry, as this matter is not yet ttled, that 1 can not give you the names of the principals in the syndicate. It is silly for any one to say that a salt trust can be formed. If, like copper, the supply was limited, tbe thing could be done, but in this country there are miles upon miles of salt, sufficient to last for untold centuries, and such a thing as controlling the production is preposterous."

APPOINTMENTS.

The President sent the following nominations to the Senate Wednesday: Fred D. Grant, of New York, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Austria Hnngary.

John C. New. of Indiana, to be ConsulGeneral ot the United States at London. Paul Fricke. of Texas, to be United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas.

WASHINGTON MOTES.

I The treasury surplus has been steadily increasing for several days nast. It now amounts to $50,200,000, or $3,000,000 more than it was ten days ago. This increase is due to the great excess of receipts over disbursements since the first of the month. The receipts to date aggregate $23,2 0,( 00, while the expenditures during the same period amount to a little over $12,000,000, including about 32,000.0i 0 paid out on account of pensions. Until recently the receipts and expenditures have been pretty well baiarced by the purchase of bond's, but this method of applying the surplus has been considerably hampered of late by the light offerings. The purchases have been confined to four-and-a-half per I cent, bonds, but this is partly due to the high price asked for the four per cents.

Secretary Windom has announced his purpose of continuing for the present, at least, the system of purchasing adopted by bis predecessor, and that he would willingly increase the purchases if the offers permitted it. He has been urged to resume the purchase of four per cents, as a more profitable use of the surplus than the purchase ot four-and-a-half per cents. He declines, however, to make k'own bis views on this subject beyond the statement that bis policy as to tbe fours must, be determined by his treatment of the offers.

The succession to the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Matthews is already being discusscd, there being two programs laid out by those who talk. One is that Judge Gresham, now Judge ot the circuit comprising the states ot Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana, will be nominated for Associate Justice. He would in turn be succeeded by Judge W. A. Woods, leaving a vacancy to be filled in the District of Indiana. The other program includes the. transfer of Attorney General Miller to the Supreme Bench, of Secretary Noble to the head of the Department of Justice and of Assistant Postmaster General Ciarkson to the Interior Department. he proclamation opening up Oklahoma Territory to settlement was issued on the 23d, by President Harrison, it will embrace about 1,800.(00 acres or laud. The country affected by the proclamation is bounded on the South by tbe Canadian river, along that river in a northwestern direction for some distance, and thence due east to a point near the Pawnee reservation thence south to the Cimarron river, along rhat river to the Indian meridian, thence due outh along that meridian until the Canadian river, the starting point, is reached.

President Harrison toid a friend that the reason he did not send more nominations to the Senate every day was because be had been kept so busy listening to delegations and other callers in behalf of applicants for office that he had no opportunity to consider the cases that had been presented to him. As soon as the crowd diminishes, and he can find more time to devote to the consideration of the different applications he will make the appointments more rapidly.

The good people oi the Church of the Covenant thought it would be a great card for them to rent a pew to the President., but it turns out to have been a nuisance, for public curiosity to see him is so great that the church is crowded every Sabbath morning with strangers and citizens of Washington who would not enter the sanctuary for any other reason. The throng ha? become so great th*t he trustees of the church are compelled to have policemen to keep order and prevent strangers from crowding into pews where they do not belong.

Senator Evart3 had a long interview with tbe President, which caused a revival of tbe story that he will be appointed minister to England. It is the general opinion that Chauncey M. Depew has declined the appointment, although no positive information of it can be obtained at the White House.

The Treasury Department decided, Friday, that importations of broken wool tops are dutiable at 6) cents per pound as "tops" and not at 10 cents a pound as "waste." It is suspected that the tops are broker to resemble waste, in order to evade the higher rate of duty imposed upon "tops."

Justice Gray, of the Supreme Court, aged sixty-two. is to be married to Miss Jennette,'daughter of Associate Justice Stanley Matthews. Her age is but thirty.

Offensive partisanship will be regard'ed as a good cause for removals of postmasters, so it is stated by Assistant

Secretary Ciarkson.

A DESPERADO'S DEEDS. Jud. Coolev, a desperado widelyknown in Roane county, Tenn., went to the residence of Mack Brown late Monday night and called for Brown, with whom he had a quarrel of long-stand-ing. Brown, certain of being shot should he appear at the door, refused to come out, and Coolev, after waiting a few minutes, threw several dynamite cartridges on the roof, from which they rolled to tbe ground, exploding with such violence as to almost demolish the house and severely injure Mrs. Brown. Coolev was arrested Wednesday but swore he would kiil anyone who would testify against him. tie was taken before a" magistrate and drew a pistol on the first witness called. Before he could tire, however, the Sheriff shot him in the head, without inflicting a eerious wound. He was found guilty, gave straw bail and has fled to North Carolina. A reward is offered for his recapture.

ACQUISITION OF CUBA. Since the appointment of Minister Palmer to be Minister to Spain he has held frequent consultations with the President and Secretary of State. It transpires that he is receiving instructions to op#n negotiations with a view of peacefully acquiring Cuba. As heretofore announced, Mr. Blaine has a welldefined desire for the acquisition of Cuba, and he proposes now to pioceed as fast as possible in carrying ou

L,

his

proposed policy regarding annexation. Mr. Palmer, it has been said, has entertained similar views upon this subject, and this is one of the reasons assigned for his being appointed Minister to 8pain.

It. will be remembered that, some two years ago, efforts were made by tbe previous administration for t,he annexation of Cuba, bnt for some reason nothiug came of them. Mr. B'aine, however, is more prouounced in his views on tho subject than was his predecessor, and it is believed will push tbe matter to the end.

DEATH OF JUSTICE MATTHF.WS Justice Stanley Matthews, of the United States Supreme Court, died at Washington on the 22d inst., after a prolonged illness. Stanley Matthews was born in Cincinnati, July 21. 1824. He was graduated at Kenyon College in 1840, studied law and was admitted to the bar, settling in Maury county, Tennessee.

In 1881 he was appointed Associate Justice of the United f-tates Supreme Court, which position he has since held.

In the United Mates Supreme Court immediately upon assembling the Chief Justice announced the death of Justice Matt hews, and as a mark of respect to his memory the court adjourned till Tuesday. The immediate cause of death was exhaustion of the heart and congestion of the kidneys.

The funeral of the late Justice Matthews was held ut his residence Monday afternoon. The services were simple but impressive. There was no address. President Harrison and members of Cabinet were in attendance, as ware also members ot the Supreme Court and many Senators arid members of the Hor.se. "Ihe body, which had been embalmed, lay in state in the parlor of the residence dur ng the earlier part of the day and was viewed by friends oi the deceased.

A Washington special to the New York Post of Thursday, says: "Tho President will soon issue a proclamation relative te the Behrinsr sea which cannot fail to attract international attention. This proclamation will be the first information which most people will have t'h -.t in the closing hours of the last Congress an amendment was incorporated in the interterritorial salmonfishing act which, in effect, declares that the Behring sea is a closed sea. By this legislative enactment, Congress has attempted to settle a grave point over which the nations have contended. The amendment, in its terms, extends the provisions of the salmon fishing act to seal fishing in Benrina sea that is to say, the act forbids tbe taking of seal by anyone not authorized by the. act within the waters of the Bahring sea. "his does not exclude them merely from fishing on cer tain islands. The amendment is, of course, of the greatest importance to the Alaska Fur Seal Company, as it will preserve the seal fisheries for them. It is also of great importance to the American and Canadian fishermen who may have been planning to engage in seal fishing in the open waters of Behring sea this season, as so many of. the Canadian vessels did last season/* The act anthonzes the seizure of such vessels by United States revenue cutters. The proclamation of the President will call attention to this fact. Tbe act may give rise to important international complications. It is an attempt by legislative enactment to settle an interrational question, which the great powers inters ested ra&.y consider still an open o*e." 1
