THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. A Qnest ion by Senator Yonche Leads to an Important Discovery. Over SIOO,OOO Unlawfully Appropriated from the School Fund, and the Financial Complications It Involves—Notes. The question suggested by Senator Youche regarding the constitutionality of the proposition to appropriate $25,000 annually from the .school fund for the benefit of the State Normal School at Terre Haute proves to be of extraordinary importance. After carefully considering the question the Senate judiciary committee unanimously came to the conclusion that it would be contrary to the Constitution to in any way divert the school fund from the sole purpose for which it was created, and that* in consequence, the appropriation to the Normal School could not be lawfully made in the manner proposed. The discovery which the question involves entails the unlawful appropriation of upwards of SIOO,OOO made by previous legislatures, and, in consequence, the matter is of more than passing importance. The adjustment of the difficulties and complications which are involved in the question are likely to give considerable trouble, fcince the Normal School was instituted, eight years ago, the appropriations for its maintenance hi ve been made from the school fund; and as tfee amount has been from $15,000 to $20,000 a year, it will aggregate something over SIOO,OOO. The discovery that this money has been unlawfully used makes it necessary for the Legislature to reimburse the school fund, which will doubtless be done by an appropriation from the general fund. Senator Schloss has introduced a bill which also provides for an appropriation from the general fund of SSO ,000 for the expenses of the Normal School during the next two years, and for the reimtiursement of W. R.'McKeen. who, in the absence of an appropriation by the last General Assembly, furnished the money which was eeeded to maintain the institution during 1884. 'The discovery which Senator Youche’s question Bias brought* about will, therefore, probably necessitate adding to the general fund an extraordinary and uncontemplated expenditure of •bout $150,000. Tins will inevitably entail the further necessity of auother temporary loan, or a greater increase of the proposed special tax levy, as the extraordinary appropriations •rhich have already been made aggregate a sum in excess of the available amount of the general fund. It seems altogether likely, from present Indications, that the noxt General Assembly of Indiana will find the finances of the State bewilderingly complicated, in consequence of the absorbing attention which has been by the last Democratic legislatures to political knavery, to the exclusion of legislation in the interests of the people. LEGISLATIVE NOTES. The appellate court bill has been made a Special order for consideration in the House tojnorrow afternoon. The union depot bill will be reported favorably by the House judiciary committee, which bas it under consideration. A motion to make the metropolitan police bill It special order for to morrow evening was defeated in the House Satnrday afternoon. The bill of Representative Schley, to place the fire department under the regulations of the metropolitan system, will be reported upon adversely by the judiciary committee. The Senate adjourned at noon on Saturday “in consideration of the fact that Friday was the Birthday of Lieutenant-governor Manson, and Sunday was the anniversary of the birth of George Washington.” The House judiciary committee, in its report on the bill authorizing the citj T to build a hall and market-house on the East market square, gives the opinion that “the city is tho absolute owner of the Tomlinson fund, and possesses the right to use it for general purposes.'’ Speaker Jewett has given notice to tho members of the House that hereafter no leave of absence will be given except upon a majority vote. It has been the practice thus far during the session to grant any member leave of absense by consent, if no objection is made, and in con,equence there has hardly been a day during the session that there has not been a dozen or more absent.

THE PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL. THE SENATE. Defeat of the Hill Reducing the Interest on School-Fund Loans. The Senate Saturday morning was opened-with prayer by Representative Browning. On motion of Mr. Magee the House amendments to the temporary loan bill [S. 19G], adding the words: “The interest shall be paid semiannually out of the funds iu the State Treasury not otherwise appropriated,” were concurred in. Mr. Ernest offered a concurrent resolution, which was adopted, instructing senators and requesting Indiana congressmen to oppose any financial measure having for its object the stoppage of the coinage of silver dollars. On motion of Mr. Lindley the constitutional restriction was suspended, and his hill [S. 294] to legalize the construction of a free gravel road in Parke county, was passed. Mr. Lindley explained that it was purely local, affecting only a certain portion of Parke county. INTEREST ON SCHOOL-FUND LOANS. Mr. Huston’s hill [S. 29] came up on the second reading, with a pending amendment, proposing to make the rate of interest on school-fund loans 7 per cent Mr. Overstreet —The bill ought not to pass without this amendment. Under the Constitution no more than 6 per cent can be collected from any counties that may loan at 6. I think 7 per cent is a fair rate. There are expenses incident upon making these loans that make at least 1 per cent. more. To harmonize all feelings in ibis matter, we ought to fix the rate at 7 per cent., as this amendment proposes. Mr. Brown—The practical effect of this bill will be to loan the school fund at 6 per cent. This would he a relief to a groat many counties. Mr. Magee—The object of the constitutional provision is to make this a permanent and certain fund. If it be loaned in one county at 8 and in another at G we have to make up a part of this difference of 2 per cent. Mr. Johnson of Tippecanoe—Seventy counties can loan the entire fund at 8 per cent., only eleven counties recommend the reduction to *7 percent, and ten to 6 per cent. This amend ment would reduco the income fully 121 per cent, and the result would be we would have to cut down the terms of schools or reduce the salaries of the teachers, either of which would be a crime against the children now in this State and those yet unborn. Do not cripple the income which sustains the common schools. The Democratic party should bear in mind that it is charged with assailing the system of common schools. lam here to enter a solemn protest against doing so. Mr. Mclntosh—The committee had this bill under advisement at two meetings. I am opposed to the amendment and to the bill. Mr. Youcho moved to amend by providing that the several counties shall be held liable to pay the amount of interest as required under see. 422 G of the Revised Statutes of 1881. Mr. Overstreet —If the rate is fixed at 8 per cent in this bill where it can be loaned at that, and in others at 6, the 8 per cent rate could uot be anfcrced under the Constitution. On motion by Mr. Sellers the hill and amendments were laid on the table by yeas, 25; nays, 11. A report from the judiciary committee declaring Mr. Schloss’s hill IS. 39] unconstitutional, was presented. Mr. Schloss, for the reason that the Normal School would be without money for tuition purposes, introduced hill as a • substitute for the one decided unconstitutional It was referred to a select committee of five. Mr. Adkison offered a concurrent resolution requesting senators and representatives in Coness to aid in the passage of measures pledging faith of the Nation to a policy looking to the

education of Indians and their voluntary citizenship. It was referred to the committee on federal relations. Mr. Campbell of Hendricks —I have been requested by a number of excellent Christian women to present the same resolutions, and had determined to do so, in the regular order of business, at the first opportunity. My failure to offer them was not on account of any want of respect for the women who asked me to present them, although I have but little faith in the success of the experiment. BILLS THAT WERE PASSEP. On motion by Mr. Sellers, the constitutional rule was suspended, and his bill [S. 71] to legalize the conveyance of real estate by cities, was passed. Mr. Sellers stated that it would affect only the city of Lafayette. On motion by Mr. Hilligass, the bill [H. R. 249] to appropriate $25,901.24 to pay the indebtedness of tho State to William B. Burford for printing, binding and stationery, was pressed to final reading, under a suspenson of the rules, and finally passed by yeas. 35: nays. 0. On motion by Mr. Smith of Jennings, his bill [S. 2571 concerning contracts for the improvement of streets and alleys in cities, was read the the third time and passed by yeas, 35: nays. 0. On motion by Mr. Brown, his bill [S. 21] to amend sections 1. 6 and 20 of the supervisors' act of March 2, 1883, fixing the price for teams working on the roads, etc., was passed by yeas, 34; nays, 0. On motion by Mr. Bryant, his bill [S. 102] to amend sections 1 and 4 of the act of March 7, 1881, establishing a State Board of Health, was taden up, but before it was read the Senate adjourned. THE HOUSE. The Bill Requiring Railways to Fence Their Lines Engrossed. The proceedings of the House Saturday morning were opened with prayer by Rev. J. S. Jencks, of St. Paul's Cathedral. Mr. Boyd's bill [II. R. 33] authorizing county commissioners to build free gravel roads on county lines, having been read the third time and being unfinished business, came up first under the rules. Consideration of it, however, was postponed until this week. By consent of the House, Mr. Williams intro duced a bill [H. R. 489] to provide protection for the Insane Asylum from fire by authorizing the extension of water-mains to the institution. Mr. Best’s joint resolution regarding woman suffrage was ordered engrossed. Mr. Deem's bill [H. R. 38] defining what class of children may be admitted to the Soldiers’ Orphan's Home, was ordered engrossed. Mr. Hanlon, from a majority of the committee on railroads, presented a report on Mr. Engle’s bill [H. R. 71] requiring railways to fence their lines through cultivated lands, recommending that it be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Hargrave, from the minority of the committee, presented a report recommending that the bill be engrossed with amendments. A motion to lay the minority report on the table failed —ayes, 10: nays, 59 — so the amendments were agreed to and the bill was ordered engrossed—ayes, 70; nays, 5. Representatives Hoban. Gordon, Passage. Brownlee, French, Best. Engle, Browning, Sayre and Moody spoke in favor of the measure. AFTERNOON SESSION. Mr. Helms introduced a bill [H. R. 492] prohibiting street railway corporations from compelling their employes to work more than twelve hours a day. It was referred to a special committee. consisting of Representatives Helms, Browning and Murphy. Bills were read the second time and ordered engrossed as follows: Mr. Debs’s bill [H. R. 92] concerning the liability of railways for injuries to employes; Mr. Helms’s bill {IT. R. 131] on weights and measures; Mr. Gordon’s bill [H. R IG6] concerning the discriminations of common carriers—[The Reagan interstate commerce bill]; Mr. Boyd’s bill [H. R. 222] to abolish the office of ditch commissioner and create the office of drainage commissioner. Pending the disposition of amendments in the last named bill, the House adjourned until this morning at 10 o’clock.

New York, Feb. 22. —It is stated that the real cause for Langtry’s refusal to return to America is that she and Gebhardt have decisively and finally quarreled, and Langti*y will never be Mrs. Gebhardt unless these two faithful partners may again conclude to settle their disputes. It is not likely', however, for the dispute *is a serious one. It seems that the quarrel originated in rather a peculiar way. At one of the receptions last winter in New York, Mrs. Neilson, a sister of Gebhardt, is said to have made some remarks publicly that were derogatory to Mrs. Langtry’s character. Some kind friends of the Lily wrote her an account of the conversation and all that had been said. This account infuriated Langtry, and it is said she wrote to Gebhardt demanding an immediate explanation of his sister and an apology from her. Gebhardt took the matter rather coolly. Whether he asked for an apology from Mrs. Neilson does not appear, but thatshenever made one is quite certain. Langtry's ietters multiplied, and each of them grew more decided. Freddy remained silent. A few weeks ago. the story goes. Langtry wrote a letter, which she said would be a final one, demanding, once and for all, that Gebhardt answer her charges about his sister, and send her an apoiogy from that lady. That letter, it seems, has been loft, unanswered by Gebhardt, who seems to have not cared one way or the other whether Langtry liked it or not. Nothing more was heard in’ the matter from either party until this telegram came from Abbey. It has been said among club men in New York for some time that Gebhardt was heartily glad that Mrs. Langtry had gone to England. This opinion was based on the remark of a friend to Mr. Gebhardt, to which he answered: “Lillian is very nice; but she is a terrible bore, dear boy." an expression which would naturally give ground for the belief that Gebhardt is thoroughly tired of this celebrated woman, who has sacrificed so much for him, and that it is a matter of very small moment to him whether she returns to America or not. Besides, it is rumored that Langtry is not particularly desirous of returning to America just now, for a variety of reasons. One is that she has transferred her affections to Charles Coghlan, her handsome leading man in London. Coghlan wili have nothing to do with America. He made a very bad failure the last time he was here and has shaken the dust of America from his feet forever. Whether Langtry ever becomes Mrs.. Coghlan is a question, but gossip says she will never become Mrs Gebhardt “I havr no appetite,’* complains many a sufferer. Hood’s Sarsaparilla gives an appetite, and enables the stomach to perform its doty.

IN HONOR OF WASHINGTON. Ceremonies Incident to the Dedication of the Monument at the Capital. The Residents of the City Make a Fine Exhibition of Public Spirit, and a Successful Celebration Is the Result. [From the Journal of Sunday. 1 THE DAY IX GENERAL. A General Effort by Residents of the Capital To Do Honor to the Occasion. Special to the IndianaDolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 21.—Everybody and everything in Washington was given up to-day to the dedication of the monument; nothing else was done. In this they have been very ably assisted by many thousands of strangers from a distance. The city has been crowded, and, in many respects, the scenes presented have been quite similar to those of inaugurations on the 4th of March. Washington was never so gorgeously decorated with flags, bunting, streamers, etc., emblematical of the Father of his Country. Most things and people were thoroughly continental. The New Englanders, including the traditional and veritable school-marm, were hero in great glory. There were continental military, civic and secret organizations, almost without end, accompanied by continental and almost every other kind of band. The day dawned bright and beautiful; there was a perfect Italian sky, but the sun’s rays came down through an atmosphoro that was piercingly cold. A stiff wind cut its wav to the marrow, and those in the parade suffered much, especially the musicians and those carrying guns, flags, or banners. There was no snow on the ground. The ceremonies at the monument were brief, on account of the unpleasant weather. At noon a battery, stationed on the hill immediately south of the Capitol building, began firing a salute of 100 guns, as the procession moved. When it reached the foot of Capitol hill, it had to wait some time for the President to take his place, with the Cabinet, on the stand at the east Capitol front, to review tho soldiery as they passed. But little life was shown about the hall of tho House of Representatives, where the orations of Winthrop and Daniel were delivered, until 12 o’clock. Then people began to arrive slowly. No one could enter the building unless he or she had a ticket of admission, so that at no time was there any jam. At 2 o’clock the gallery seats were all taken. About half the members were on the floor. Their regular seats had been removed and smaller canebottomed chairs put in for the accommodation of eight hundred people. Everything was so quiet you could almost hear a pin drop. It was as if a funeral was about to take place. Finally Representative Ochiltree walked in and down the main isle toward the Speaker’s desk. Some roguishuboys in the gallery whistled softly and clapped their hands, and it was taken up by the members on the floor; then the ladies clapped their hands, and it wound up in a regular storm. This opened the way for many such ovations. Every man of prominence was warmly greeted. When Gen. Phil. Sheridan entered, everybody on the floor and in the galleries arose and applauded him for fully two minutes. The grand old warrior never seemed to notice the demonstration, except by his face growing redder. When General Fitz Lee, of Virginia, came in, followed by some other distinguished ex-con-federates, those on the Democratic side of the House almost went into fits of enthusiasm. A great crowd flocked about him, shouk him by the hand, and gave him a Southern greeting that was both hearty and long-continued. Then came President Arthur, and the Senate, and the members of the Supreme Court, the diplomatic corps, and officers of the army and navy. The people arose and applauded during all the time those personages were entering the hall. Bancroft, the venerable historian, bending low with the ■weight of almost four-score years; W. W. Corcoran, the first president of the Washington Monument Society, and Admiral C. R. Rodgers, of the navy, were probably the most closely watched trio in the hall. They sat up in a semicircle in front of the Speaker’s desk. President Arthur, with Secretary Frelinghuysen at his left and Secretary McCulloch at his right, sat in front of them. Judge David Davis, of Illinois; walked in with the senators; he occupied a seat immediately across the aisle from Secretary Freliughuysen and the President, and for five minutes he stood up before them with his hands to his sides, and talked and laughed until he could have been heard all over the hall. The President joined him in conversation, and seemed to enjoy it very much from his hearty laugh and the way he held the old statesman’s hand when he tried to break away. Judge Davis carried an immense black slouch hat, and seemed to be in splendid health. His hair was cropped closely, and there was a skinny look about his face and a fit about his clothes which told plainer than words that he had lost many pounds of flesh since he accepted the Vice-presi-dent’s chair in the Senate, a couple of years ago. It was not until Vice-president pro tem. Edmunds, at 2:30 o’clock, rapped order, that Mr. Davis slapped President Arthur on the knee and whispered something in his ear that made him roar with mirth, and then the Illinois man went back to his seat, crossed his legs and looked solemn.

It took nearly three hours to deliver the orations, yet there was patient attention, for they were very eloquent Senators Harrison and Voorhees, and all the Indiana members, were present Messrs. Browne, Steele, Stockslager and English, were clustered together on the Republican side. Special trains carried thousands of visitors away within a few hours after the exercises at the Capitol were over, and but for the decorations, which still give a good appearance inside and outside the buildings, a few parading bands and belching cannon, and the fire-works, you would not know to-night that this has been one of the most prominent days in the history of Washington. THE MONUMENT. Dimensions of the Shaft—Stones from all States and Countries. Washington, Feb. 21.—The monument has been built for the greater part, under the direction of Col. Thomas Lincoln Casey, in the form of the Egyptian obelisk. Its foundation is eighty feet square, and it is set in solid rock eight feet below the surface of the earth. At its base the shaft is fiftyfive feet square, so that its breadth in tho widest part is exactly one-tenth of its height. The lower portion of the monument is constructed of blue granite, faced with large crystal' marble, and the upper portion is entirely of marble. At the five hundred foot mark the dimensions are thirty four feet five and a half inches square, and at the top about thirty feet square. The pyramidal top beginc at the height of five hun-

dred feet, and is surmounted by a shining point of aluminum, a metal which oxidizes slowly, and is superior as a conductor of lightning. This metallic point is connected with a copper rod which leads down through the center of the capstone to each of the four columns which form the elevator frame in the main shaft. Every State, and many counties and cities, fire-engine companies, and secret societies in the United States, and almost every crowned head of the old world contributed a stone. Among others, Pius IX, Pontifex Maximus, sent a block of African marble from the Temple of Concord. In 1855 Know-nothing-ism was rampant, and a lot of Washington Protestants, incited by a pulpit harangue by a Baltimore minister, demonstrated their aversion to the Pope’s toe by breaking into the shops at night and stealing the stone, which they sank in the Potomac. Since the government assumed the work of construction no memorial stones have been placed in the wall, but a good many will be set hereafter. Memorials of fire companies, social clubs and sewing circles will probably not appear. The stones contributed by Illinois and Indiana are set in the east wall, about fifty-eight feet up from the ground. Illinois contributed a block of buff native limestone, 2x4 feet, and bearing in plain letters the words: • ILLINOIS. i J STATE SOVEREIGNTY. ) NATIONAL UNION. • | Indiana furnishes a block of variegated native limestone, inscribed: ! INDIANA ; 1 KNOWS NO NORTH. NO SOUTH; NOTHING BUT THE UNION. I • • These two stones are in tho same course, and between them is the contribution of Georgia. Nearly every stone contributed by a Southern State bears a declaration of devotion to the Union or the Constitution, or both. Tho Ohio stone is about ninety eight feet from the ground, and is inscribed: “The State of Ohio. The memory of Washington and the union of the States. Sunto Perpetua.” Michigan contributes a block of native copper, diagonally across which runs a vein of silver. The lettering is of silver obtained from the copper. The block weighs 2,100 pounds. The stone bears the name of the State, under which is the State seal, and below that is the sentiment: “An emblem of her trust in the Union.” Wisconsin furnished a block of native white marble inscribed: “Wisconsin. Admitted May 29, 1848.” Minnesota’s memorial is a small block. 12x20 inches, of native dark-red Indian pipestone, bearing nothing but the name of the State. lowa is represented by a fine piece of native limestone on which is inscribed: “lowa. Her affections, like tho river of her borders, flow to an inseparable union.” The stone is two feet by four. Among other stones is the one given by the city of Frederick, Md., having a dove and an ark and an elaborate legend. An ancient and fish-like smell comes from the stone sent by New Bedford, Mass. It is decorated with a whale and a pair of harpoons. There is a stone from the field where Braddock was defeated. The general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church furnished a stone decorated with an open Bible. Company I, Fourth United States Infantry contributed a stone in 1851. Tho Indiana postmasters furnished a block. Redraen, Odu-fellows, Masons, militia and fire companies, and all sorts of associations furnished stones, but most of these private gifts will never appear in the wall. New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and many other cities hav contributed very finely carved memorial stones, and a city as prominent as Chicago ought not to be behind eastern municipalities.

Feb. 22. —At the ceremonies connected with the dedication of the monument, yesterday, there were present of tho descendants and relatives of Washington the following: Mrs. Lewis Washington, vice-regent for Virginia in the Mt. Vernon Association; her step-son, J. B. Washington, of Pittsburg, connected with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad; Mrs. B. B. Washington and her daughter, Miss Washington, of Frederick county, W. Va.; Miss Eliza Washington, of Charlestown, W. Va.; Colonel Thornton Washington, of Texas; Bushrod C. Washington and S. W. Washington, of Charlestown, W. Va.; Robert Washington, of Westmoreland county, Va.; George Washington, of Jefferson county, W. Va.; Mrs. L. Montgomery Bond, of Elizabeth, N. J, a great grandniece of Washington; Miss Virginia Mitchell, of Charlestown, W. Va.; Miss Claiborne, of Richmond, and Mr. Myrvin C. Beekey, of Washington. Nearly all these descendants were great grand-nieces or nephews. Was Durbiu Ward at Shiloh? St. Louis. Feb. 22. —General Durbin Ward’s opinion of the battle of Shiloh, telegraphed over the country yesterday by the Associated Press, has called out an ex-federal soldier in this city who says: ‘T am quite sure General Ward was not within twenty-five miles of Shiloh while the battle was going on. I was a member of his regiment, the Seventeenth Ohio. In the first place, he never was a general at all. He was the first major the regiment had, then was promoted to lieu-tenant-colonel and then to colonel. That was as high as he ever got. I served under him three years, nine months and twenty-one days. We were guarding a wagon-train of provisions for the Shiloh army at the time. The truth is, he doesn’t know anything about the Union army being surprised. We got on the battle-ground two or three days after the battle, and by the way things looked on the field I think the rebs must have left in double-quick time.” Found Dead in a Beer-Garden. Dallas, Tex., Feb. 22.—Hattie Keys, a white domestic, twenty-seven years old, was found dead this morning in a beer garden. An empty box of morphine and a letter by her side showed that the act had been suicidal. We notice that Tom. Dick and Hairy are now appearing with their grandfathers’ recipes for Coughs, etc., and seeking a fortune through advertising, but the people know the value of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup and will take no other.

THE CMCAGO BALLOT FRAUD CASES. Joseph C. Mackin, William J. Gallagher and Arthur Gleason Found Guilty. [From (he Journal of Sunday.] Chicago, Feb. 21. —The trial of Joseph C. Mackin, William J. Gallagher, Arthur Gleason and Henry Bieht, on charge of conspiracy to affect the result of the election for Congressman in the Fourth Illinois district, at the Presidential election, last November, was concluded today and resulted in the conviction of Mackin, Gallagher and Gleason, and the acquittal of Bieht The trial has been in progress over two weeks, and every point has been stubbornly contested by nearly a score of lawyers. When the prosecution rested its case it had apparently proved what it set out to do. Three days were spent in arguments and the judge's charge, and the case was given to the jury at noon to day, with the result stated above. The jury came in with its verdict at 5:30 o’clock this evening. The greatest excitement prevailed in and around the court-room when the verdict was announced. The attorneys for the defendants at once moved for anew trial. Other indictments are pending against most of the defendants, both in federal and State courts, and Mackin is under bonds, in various cases, to the amount of $20,000 to $30,000. The case has attracted unusual interest, because in its bearings it touches the Senate of the United States; because of the baldness of the fraud in its execution, and because of the sensational develop ments at the trial. The fraud excited great indignation in this city, and a committee of leading citizens was formed, comprising prominent men of both the Democratic and Republican parties, and a large fund was raised to push the prosecution to a successful issue. Mackin is a working politician, and has held a prominent position in the councils of the party in this city, being secretary of the Democratic county, city and district committees. Gallagher has been less prominent, but he has taken an active part in politics in a small way, since his arrival here from Philadelphia. Gleason is a Republican, and has been an active worker, also in a small way. Both Mackin and Gallagher were released on bail soon after the verdict, the bond in each case being $20,000. M. C. McDonald, and a Clark - street saloon-keeper named Kavanaugh are sureties for the whole amount Gleason’s bond remains at $3,000, and he was also released.

Prize-Fight at New Orleans. New Orleans, Feb. 22.—George Rooke and Charles Lange met at Sportsmau’s Park, to-day, in a glove-fight to the finish. Jerry Dunn acted as referee. Three thousand persons were present. Rooke opened the fight with some scientific maneuvers, but was stopped by Lange, who made a rush and forced half-arm fighting. Rooke was knocked down, but responded before the ten seconds were up. At the end of the second round, which was characterized by fierce hugging, both men were against the ropes near the center stake, and when they were separated it was found that Lange had broken a bone in his right hand by striking the stake, and, being unable to continue, Rooke was declared the winner. The Strike at Yonkers. Yonkers, N. Y., Feb. 22.—The striking era ployes of the Smith carpet works still emphatically declare their intention to remain out till their demands aro conceded. The shop-keepers take a dismal view of the situation. Over half the population depended upon the carpet factory for maintenance, and the shop-keepers were in the habit of supplying the operatives on credit from pay day to pay day. As but few hands saved any money, the prospect of carrying them through a long strike is not looked upon favorably. The strikers say they have a fund sufficient to support them a long* time. Trade-Marks and Patents. From the Patent and Trades-mark Office, Melbourne, Australia, Mr. Edward Waters writes, that one of his household suffered with toothache and rheumatism, and was cured immediately and completely by the use of St Jacobs Oil, the great pain-cure. _ DIED. __ _ COX—George G. and Charles C., infant sons of Charles E. and Emma M.
