The company's officials say that they maintained their position, and made no agreement whatever &8 to the disposal of the eight men, nor had they authorized anyone to sign the paper exhibited by Mr. Stahl. The latter still insists that the eight men will be removed within sixty days, and that an agreement to that effect was signed by someone authorized by the company to do so. He refuses still to divulge thtf name of the person. As nearly as can be ascertained, the facts are that the company made no agreement whatever whereby the eight men’s status was changed :n the least. The Daily News says, from all it san learn, the supposed agreement is signed by Sheriff Hanehett, and that that official relied on thepromise that several business men wonid place such tempting offers, both in the way of position and bonus, before the eight men, that their refusal of them would be next to impossible, and that he, relying on that being done, signed the guaranty. The supposition at the time by the strikers was that Sheriff Hanehett was in a way, at least, acting for the company. The same paper saya “Though the strikers may have been deceived in that respect, it is not believed a discovery of the fact will reopen the trouble.” Webster and Chafee, two of the eight men, say that no proposition to work elsewhere has been made to them, and that they expect to continue working for the company. Three of the city dallies print interviews with seven of the eight men, one being absent on sick-leave, and they all agree in asserting that they have had rfo offers to leave the company, and that it is their intention to remain in the railroad’s employ*. The railway officials reiterate their original statement that the men are not to be discharged, and are to remain as long as they choose. THE THIRD-AVENUE STRIKE. Strikers Attempt to Derail a Cable Car—The Executive Board To Be Arrested. New York, April 26.— The strike on the ThirdRvenuo surface railroad still continues unchanged. Sixty cars are running to-day. The General Sessions Court grand jury met •arlier to-day, and had before them the cases of the men who ordered the general “tie-up” on all the surface rail- . roads here last week. Officers and directors of the Third-avenue road, as well as police officers, were examined as witnesses. The counsel for the strikers visited the District Attorney’s office during the day, and made arrangements for giving hail in case any of their associates were ariested. This afternoon one of the strikers placed Stones in the groove of the company’s cable branch, on a steep incline, and loss of life was prevented only by the caution that was exercised In operation of the car. The man, whose name is Miller, was arrested. Except for police interference, a throng of strikers and their would, this evening, have mobbed three of the company’s new men vho went to repair the tracks at Fifty-ninth treet The fact that indictments against some f the leaders of the strike had been found msed excitement among the latter to-night, •'he strikers will begin running stages on Third * venue to-morrow, from Harlem to the City Hall. Sixty-five cars were run to-day, stopping at 6 o’clock p. M.; ten cars were run on One-hundred-end twenty-fifth street. The executive board of the strikers will be arrested, it is believed, at an early hour to-morrow morning. Mr. Powderly has sent a representative to York, and to-day he, with the executive board of the strikers and Mr. Lauterbach. of the Third-avenue company, held a fruitless conference. • COMMITTEEMAN BAILEY. (le Objects to Criticism, and Proposes to Thrash Certain Newspaper Men. Bt. Louis Globe-Democrat. That General Committeeman W. H. Bailey (rill cot tolerate any newspaper inquiry into his methods of handling the contributions received by the Knights, or his peculiar and original system of book-keeping, has been demonstrated by himself. On last Friday morning an article upon both subjects appeared in the Globe Democrat. It dwelt particularly upon the manner of receiving moneys sent by mail, and the habit of members of the committee in carrying large amounts of cash loose upon their persons, embracing in the same connection an interview with Mr. Bailey. The following day he met Mr. E. J. Edwards, representing the New York Sun at this place, and requested him to tell the reporter of the Globe-Democrat who had interviewed him, and Mr. Thomas B. Fielders, the representative of the New York Times, to call at the committee room at Hurst’s, as he had some Dews he wanted to give them. The significance d£ his sending for Mr. Fielders lies in the fact that the Times has also printed a description of the Knights’ methods of doing business, an extract from the article being reprinted in tbe Globe-Democrat The message did not reach Mr. Fielders, but on Saturday night he called, as was his custom, at the committee-room. John Hays, Mr. Bailey’s private secretary, came to the door, and announced the name of the visitor. Inside was a •nan named Bailey, a Pullman car conductor, ■r. Brown, and Committeeman W. H. Bailey. “Tell him to come in,” said the latter, and sen Mr. Fielders entered the committeeman id, “Take a chair.” The correspondent did so, <\ when he was seated Mr. Bailey suddenly it his chair and locked both doors. He was in state of high excitement, and said he had a natter to settle with his visitor, and that it might be necessary to determine which was the best man. Tbe newspaper man retained his chair and kept cool. He said he had written the article published in Thursday’s New York Times and republished in Saturday’s Globe-Democrat. Mr. Bailey said it was intended to prove that he was not honest Mr. Fielders said that nothing of the sort appeared in the article, which was a description of the Knights’ method of transacting business. He had no doubt of Mr. Bailey’s personal honesty, he said, but added that the manner in which the board and joint executive committee conducted much of its business was town talk. Mr. Bailey was notin a condition to argue a point, os he could see only one side of a question, but the interview came to an end without a personal encounter. The fact that Mr. Bailey desired to see a Globe-Democrat reporter was not learned at this effioe until yesterday afternoon. One of the force at once called at the committee-rooms and knocked at the door of Boom 8. He was told to come in. Inside were Mr. Bailey, Mr. Brown, Casper Heep and three unidentified Knights, one of whom made a movement to lock the door but was stopped. Bailey looked ud with a sudden icowl as he recognized the visitor. “Yes, by “What about!” “About this lie,” he replied, springing to his feet, opening a copy of the Globef)emocrat and pointing to the interview, an artitie on the handling of money. “Did you write that?” “Yea.” “Don’t you know it’* a lief’ “No; the facts stated are true.” This had the same effect upon Mr. Bailey that & red flag is supposed to produce upon a bull He stepped in front of the chair where the reporter sat, bent his 240 pounds avoirdupois over it and shook his fist in the visitor's face. The rest of the crowd formed a semi-circle around (he seat of war. “Do you say that I have carried money loose n my pocket and pulled it out?” bellowed Bailey it the top of his voice. The reporter felt the delicacy of the situation, but the natural candor of the profession impelled lim to repiy the truth—“ Yes.” “What are you looking at me for?” roared the ommitteeman, trembling with rage, and obously reaching out fora provocation. “I want ou to know that I can throw you out of this ; oom.” “I came here on your own invitation.” “Yes, and by , I’ll throw you out on my own invitation, too, if I want to. You say you Haw our account book in Hays's pocket—another ■ lie. Where did you see that?’ “Two evenings ago, when talking to you and Hays in the office of this hotel. Hays took it out aud showed it to me.” Hays admitted that such was the case, aud Bailey turned to another part of the article. “You say money was kept in the lower drawer of the wardrobe here. By , there is DO wardrobe in tbe room.” A wardrobe about eight feet high, whieh Mr. Dailey's state of mind probably prevented his

seeing, was pointed out He glared at it aud asked who took money from it The reporter replied that Mr. Delay was the last man whom he had seen take money from the drawer, but the others had tapped It from time to time. Mr. Delay was in the next room, but Mr. Bailey declined to call him in to make a statement in the matter, contenting himself by assarting that tbe article said that Committeman Hays took money from the wardrobe. This was not the fact. The article contained no such statement, but he daehed the paper down with the exclamation that “it was all a lie anyhow.” “What was the purpose of publishing that article?” he asked. “To give certain interesting facts to the public.” “That’s a lie! It was to cast suspicion od my honesty. It was to frighten people out of sending ns any more money.” As he talked Bailey paced the floor, stopping now and then before the reporter to emphasize bis remarks by waving his clenched fist “I don’t care a for the newspapers!” he shouted. “As for the newspaper men, I’m a better man than any of them, and can prove it on any one of them!” He struck a pugilistic attitude, and a murmur of applause rose from the audience of Knights, with the exception of Mr. Brown, who endeavored to divert the conversation by a discourse on the labor problem. The reporter saw that a further discussion was fntile, and rose to go, when he was confronted by Bailey, who repeated bis former demand and met with the same reply. NATIONAL ARBITRATION. Ex-Senator McDonald Discusses tlie Plan Submitted by the President. Washington Special. Ex-Senator Joseph E. McDonald, of Indiana, when asked to-night for a brief statement of his Views of the pioposition of the administration to arbitrate through congressional action between capital and labor, replied: “This question is far reaching and will grow more in importance with time, because the natural tendency of the times is the concentration of capital and a consequent aggregation of labor in such interests as mining, railroading, and other enterprises involving the employment of physical labor and capital. Thus the difficulty of treating the subject is very mnch complicated by our system of government, divided as it is into State and* national governments. Public attention just at this time is drawn to the principle of arbitration as affording the best solution of the difficulty of strikes and the question of wages between capital and labor, which is always the bone of contention between these two contending interests. In fact, it may be said that there is an irrepressible conflict between labor and capital on that question, and it is, unfortunately, one which cannot be left to the ordinary laws of trade to settle, as the law of supply and demand is not sufficiently broad to cover it. The principle of arbitration has been resorted to in Franco and England with apparently very good effect, but one Infirmity of the system consists in the fact that the consent of both parties to an arbitration is required and the tribunal of arbitration must equally represent labor and capital. No party would agree to arbitrate with the certainty that the arbitrating power would be under the control of his adversary. Hence, if such tribunal could be constituted so as to give each party a perfectly impartial hearing, all just men would be willing to accept such a mode of deciding otherwise irreconcilable questions. It is very important that the labor element of the oountry should be placed in a position to meet capital by which it is employed on just such equal terms. Otherwise we may expect strikes, and, as resulting from them, riots. Again, a system of arbitration, to be consistent with our duplex form of government, should be inaugurated in the States, and if State regulations should not be sufficient to accomplish tbe purpose, the parties interested might derive such aid from the United States government as the power invested in it to regulate commerce between the States might authorize. In fact, the power of the United States government to inaugurate a general system that is to-affect questions of labor throughout the United States is more than doubtful. While the industrial institutions of the country, so far as they are organized under corporate authority of the United States, exercise their corporate rights by virtue of .such authority, their rights of property are held under the local laws o€ the States in which they carry on their business. There is much in the President’s message to Congress on this subject that meets with my unqualified approval, but I doubt the practicability of the means suggested by him to remedy the evil. His suggestions are worthy of consideration, however, as some system should be devised to amicably adjust this vexed question, which, if left unattended to, may lead to most serious consequences. There is no question to-day ao important to the country, because the relations of labor and capital are vital not only to material prosperity, but to the governing power itself, and labor should not be driven to outlawry in the endeavor to secure its just rights.” GIGANTIC CO-OPERATION. The Plan of John Jarrett and Andrew Carnegie for Benefiting Workingmen. Pittsburg Dispatch. John Jarrett, ex-president of the Amalgamated Association, and Andrew Carnegie, the iron and steel manufacturer, are interested in a big scheme for the benefit of the working classes of this country. The scheme originated with Mr. Jarrett, and he has been assured of the assistance of Mr. Carnegie. It is not likely, however, that anything will be done until fall. The project is co operation on an unusually large ecale. It is proposed to establish distribution, productive and credit systems exclusively in the interest of members of organized labor. When the plans are completed, which will be in the fall, a large general store and a working man’s savings bank will be established in this city. Mr. Jarrett has been at work on the scheme for several months. Letters explaining its obJ'ects were written to different assemblies of the Cnights of Labor and other labor organizations in the leading cities of the United State s. Favorable answers have been received to these communications, and much interest is being taken in the movement. The full details of the enterprise could not be learned, as Mr. Jarrett could not be seen last evening. Several men who propose taking stock explained tbe scheme as follows: “No one but workingmen or members of labor organizations will be permitted to take stock, and no man can hold more than S2OO worth. If a man desires to go into the company and has not the amount of money required, he can deposit a portion of his earnings in the bank. On these deposits he will receive 8 per cent, interest. Bankers say that money is going a begging at 5 per cent., and I cannot understand how they can afford to pay more than that amount. Os course, Mr. Jarrett and Mr. Carnegie would not go into a thing of this kind blindly, and believe they will be able to keep their part of the agreement. When a sufficient fund has been secured to start the bank and store they will be established in this city. A central and convenient location will be secured. Everything that is used by a workingman and his family will be kept in the store. Prices will be lower than at other stores, but there will be a profit for the stockholders, and dividends will be paid every six months or deposited to the credit of the stockholders in the bank. A number of delivery wagons will be sent all over the cities daily for the purpose of receiving and delivering orders. These stores will be established in all the leading cities of the country as soon as possible. After this scheme has been tested, building and loan associations will be organized, the main object being to erect homes for the members. “In time there will spring oat of this movement co-operative rolling-mills, steel mills, foundries, factories and machine shops. Workingmen will soon become interested in the movement, and instead of spending money in saloons or for pleasure, will deposit all they can spare in their bank. With men like Andrew Carnegie and John Jarrett behind the scheme, there is hardly any possibility of failure.” Some time ago this paper published a rumor to the effect that Andrew Carnegie intended to turn over the Edgar Thomson steel works to his employes, making it co-operative establishment Tbe rumor was denied, but the men were assured that their employer intended to do something for their benefit, but it was not known until lately that he was associated with Mr. Jarrett in a huge co operative enterprise.

Hickey’s remark to the men some time ago, that “there's a better time coming,” is now explained. OTHER STRIKE AND LABOR NEWS. - Depression In the Kanawha Valley, and Fears of Worse to Come. Pittsburg, Pa., April 26.—H. M. Jarwell, a prominent coal operator of the Kanawha valley, in an interview, says the depression in the coal trade of that district has never been paralleled in its history, and unless there is an improvement fully one-half of the coal producers in the Kanawha and New River districts will fail. This deplorable condition of things is attributed to Pittsburg’s competition and the use of natural gas. Notwithstanding the depression, the miners are preparing to strike on May I for an advance of a half cent per bushel. They now get 2J cents, and want 2*. This they will not get, and their condition will then become a desperate one. Only 5,000 men of all the miners of the two districts are engaged now, and with 10,000 or 15,000 out of employment there will be a very sad condition of affairs. No Trouble on tbe Union Pacific. Chicago, April 26.— Charles Francis Adams, jr., was in the city, last evening, on bis retnrn from an extended trip to the West, where he has been looking over the business of the Union Pacific road. Mr. Adams reports no trouble on the road, and says that at Denver he talked with the employes of the road, and found them perfectly contented and satisfied with their condition. He does not anticipate any trouble whatever. The prospects for business were very fair, but no extensive improvements were in contemplation. He declined to express any opinion on the question of a government arbitration commission. He had nothtng to sav in regard to President Cleveland's message. He was inclined to think that it would be far better if tbe railroad companies and their employes could thoroughly understand each other before resorting to such measures as render arbitration necessary. The St. Louis Coal District. St. Louis, April 26.—An adjourned meeting of the coal operators and miners of the St. Louis district was held in this city to-day, at which a large majority of operators and miners were represented. The committee appointed at the last meeting to determine upon a final agreement as to what should constitute a just price for mining coal, and to fix wholesale and retail prices for the same, submitted a report which embodies a set of resolutions declaring that two and one-half cents per bushel weighing eighty pounds, or two and one-fourth cents per bushel top-weight, should be paid by hand operators, and that the minimum selling pries shall range from six and one-half to ten cents per bushel. These prices were unanimously adopted. A standing committee of three miners and three operators was appointed to arbitrate and settle all future differences. Labor Notes. The Eagle foundry, at Port Chester, employing about 400 men, was closed yesterday morning indefinitely, in anticipation of a strike, the employes having formed an assembly of the Knights of Labor. Steel rail manufacturers report a better demand and numerous inquiries for steel from projected roads, mostly in tbe West. Prices are quoted firm at $36 and $36.50 cash at the mill. An advance to S3B is looked for before many days. Charles H. Litchman, a member of the executive board of District 30, Knights of Labor, left Boston yesterday afternoon for St. Louis, at the telegraphic request of Mr. Powderly, to represent the strikers on the Gould system before the congressional committee in that city. At the regular meetiDg of window-glass manufactures yesterday trade was reported better than at auy time for a year. The prospects are encouraging, and all the factories will continue in operation until the regular summer vacation. Within the nast ten days prices have advanced 5 per cent. The Btrikoof the suear-house employes in Williamsburg and Green Point still continues, and the situation is unchanged. A large force of Eolice is kept at the refineries to prevent any reach cf the peace or destruction of .property. Some of the strikers have already gone to other kinds of work. The Hod-carriers’ Association of Harrisburg, Pa., ordered a strike yesterday morning, and a large number of bricklayers are thrown out of work as a result- The men demanded an increase from $1.75 to $2 per day, which the boss bricklayers refused. Building operations are generally suspended. The strike in Taylor & Bogges’s foundry at Cleveland was ended yesterday, the firm agreeing to an advance of 15 per cent, in wages. The trouble at the viaduct foundry will probably be settled to-day. Twenty-five finishers in Charles L. Strong's marble works struck yesterday for a 20 per cent, advance. The miners at the Clarissa and Nellie works, in tho Connellsville region, struck yesterday for the reinstatement of three men. These three men were a committee- appointed to call on Mr. Cochran, on Saturday, to request him to stop loading cars for the East. He ordered their discharge for their answer. The Miners’ and Laborers’ Amalgamated Association paraded and held a mass-meeting at Shamokin, Pa., yesterday. Thirty-five hundred men were in line. It is generally believed that the men wiil ask for eight hours’ work with eight hours’ pay. The new order of things will begin May 1. Arbitration is aiso looked upon with favor. The carriage shops at New Haven, Conn., have notified their striking body-makers to return to work or remove their tools. Other shops have also agreed to do the same. The carriage workmen’s union has retaliated by prderiug out the painters, blacksmiths and trimmers. The proprietors are fully organized, and say they will close down entirely, as this year’s trade has already been ruined. The men are prepared for a fight. Forty-five boys, employed as helpers by tbe Great Western Glass Company, of St. Louis, struck for higher wages yesterday, throwing out of work seventy-five men dependent in performing their duties upon the services of the boys. The latter have no real grievances against their employers, and it is supposed that they have simply got the strike fever, and will return to work upon being informed that if they do not others will be engaged to fill ttfoir places. Eighty-five muscular looking men, passengers on the steamer Circassia, arrived yesterday at Castle Garden, New York, and were detained by the superintendent on the ground that they were going to work on “scab” jobs. They are said to be under contract as masons, stone-cutters and blacksmiths to work on the new State capitol at Austin, Tex. The charge is made by the Central Labor Union, of New York. The men denied being under any contract They intend to communicate with the district attorneys of this city and Austin, Tex., to have suits’ brought against the Austin contractor for a violation of the “contract labor bill.” Obituary. Grand Rapids, Mich., April 26.—Dispatches received to-day from San Diego, Cal., announce the death at that place last evening of Solomon L.

NEWS PROM ABROAD. How Lord Hartington Expects to Bring About the Defeat of Gladstone's Scheme. London, April 26.—Lord Hartington, in a speech in Lancashire, this evening, said that no alterations would remove his objections to the Irish scheme. He did not wish to coalesce with the Tones, bu€ he hoped, with the assistance of Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Trevelyan. Mr. Goschen, Sir Henry James, Mr. Bright, Earl Selbourn, Earl Derby and tbe Duke of Argyll, to create an independent party to withdraw the measure. A portion of the audience made hostile demonstrations against the speaker. Mr. Bright, who was unable to attend the meeting, sent a letter in which he said he thougt that Lord H&rtington’s conduct had been consistent and courageous. “It wonid be a calamity for the country if measures of the transcendent magnitude of Mr. Gladstone’s scheme should be accepted on the authority of any leader however eminent.” The Daily News, referring to Mr. Bright’s letter to Lord Hartington, says it increases the seriousness of the division in the Liberal party. Lord Hartington, replying to an elector, said he would possibly move the rejection of the home-rulo bill A Loyalist meeting was held at the Maze, county Antrim, to-day, at which some violent speeches were made. Mr. Johnson. Conservative member of Parliament for South Belfast, moved that Irish Loyalists refuse to recognize the Dublin Parliament if established, decline to pay taxes, and resist all attempts to force them to pay taxes. He said he intended to draw up a list of those Loyalists who were prepared to bear arms. He was greeted with loud and enthusiastio cheers. Now Let Gladstone Go Ahead-All Is Right. Chicago, April 26. —The following, proposed by Alderman Dixon, was unanimously adopted to-night by the City Council: Whereas, Chicago has been among the first of American cities to send words of cheer, with material aid, to the Irish people in their heroic straggle for home rule and land reform: therefore, Resolved, That the Mayor and City Counoil of Chicago view with pleasure the comprehensive and equitable scheme for Irish self-government which has been submitted to the British Parliament by the Rt. Hou. W. E. Gladstone, and which, after judicious amendment, if enacted, will prove a measure of lasting reconciliation and friendship between the two peoples. Resolved, That we trust the patriotic efforts of England’s great statesmen to do justice to Ireland, and to enable her soreiy-oppressed people to live and thrive, shall be crowned with success. Resolved, That we congratulate Mr. Charles S. Parnell and his copatriots on the wonderful progress that has attended their constitutional efforts to emancipate Ireland from penury, misery and despair. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread on the records of this Council, and that the Mayor and council clerk are instructed to transmit, by cable, these resolutions to Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Parnell. Conflicting Reports About the Greeks. London, April 26. —The statement that the Greek army would be disarmed is confirmed. The Greek Chamber of Deputies has been convoked. The combined fleet of the powers, which had assembled to coerce Greeoe, has departed. Tbe sudden termination of the probability of war is received by the Greek people with consternation. A dispatch from Athens says: “Greece’s reply to the powers is regarded as unsatisfactory. A conference of the foreign ministers is being held at tbe Italian embassy for the purpose of drawing r.p and signing an ultimatum holding Greece answerable for the consequences unless she defers without reserve to the wishes of Europe. The ultimatum will be presented to the Greek government forthwith.” • The claims of Greece, in contention fox* which she prepared to wage war against Turkey, now that she has consented to disarm, will be submitted to arbitration. The Fisheries Dispate. London, April 26.— The Pall Mall Gazette advocates the formation of a supreme and permanent court for the settlement of the fisheries disputes between Canada and the United States. The court, the Gazette says, should consist of five members, two of whom should be Americans, two Englishmen and the fifth should be selected by these four, and be either an American or an Englishman. Gladstone to Become a Catholic. London, April 26.—Vanity Fair publishes the singular rumor that a noble Scotch family have learned that Mr. Gladstone intends to become a Roman Catholic.

The Pope gave audience to a party of eight German Catholics yesterday. He expressed himself as pleased with the ecclesiastical bill, though he said it did not secure all that the church wants. He expressed great love for Germany, and profound respect for Emperor William and the German Parliament.

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Edward Schaum, of Pittsburg, was almost instantly killed last night by an electric shock from an iron awning which, by some means, had been charged with a powerful current of electricity. A herder named William Mock, formerly a resident of Cleveland, 0., was murdered while asleep on Sunday night, near Big Springs, Tex., by a Mexican named Juan Salles. Salles escaped, but will be lynched if captured. Gilbert Dykeman, a flagman near the tunnel at North Rhinebeck, on the Hudson River railroad, was found dead in his shanty yesterday morning, with his brains knocked out It is believed that he was murdered. Investigation will be made at once. Coroner Smith will not hold an inquest in the case of the child killed by its mother, Mrs. James M. Smith, near Port Monmouth, N. J., on Friday. The other children are slowly improving. Mrs. Smith, who took poison, is still alive, but her recovery is considered impossible. James Forrester, an engineer on the Anchorline steamers, while riding on a Jersey City street car, Sunday evening, offered his seat to a lady, but before the lady could take the seat an Italian named Cerevasso seated himself in it. Forrester expostulated without avail, and finally took the man by the collar and put him out, when the Italian drew a knife a foot long and plunged it into Forrester’s back, inflicting a fatal wound. The Italian was arrested. Mexicans Slain by Geronimo's Band.

THOMAS H. SHERLEY, How He Endeavored to Make Yilas the VicePresidential Candidate. Washington Letter, in New York Tribune. It was Captain Sherley who, at Chicago, in the summer of 1884, sought to make Mr. Yilas the candidate for Vice-president on the ticket with Mr. Cleveland. The story is now told for the first time, but of its truth there can be no donbt. How near tne effort came to succeeding can only at this day be a matter of conjecture, but certain it is that Captain Sherley was most sincere in what he did and deeply regretted the failure of his undertaking. It failed largely because of the excitement which prevailed at the time, during which Captain Sherley and many others lost their heads. Mr. Hendricks was not popular with the Kentuckians. The feeling against him was due to his attitude toward Mr. Tilden and to the scathing denunciation of it by Henry Watterson in the columns of the Courier Journal. Mr. Watterson was savage in his attacks upon Hendricks. He regarded him as the “Ephraim Smooth” of American politics—a specious and ounning, but neither a wise, a resolute nor a grateful man. Hendricks affected to treat Watterson’s onslaughts with contempt, and spoke of their author as a bumptious individual without authority to arraign partv leaders. After the Chicago convention Mr. Watterson, in a spirit of party discipline, wrote pleasantly of Mi*. Hendricks, but what he said seemed to lack sincerity. In connection with this record previously made Mr. Hendricks now made himself additionally odious to the Kentuckians. Tho delegates from that State had been instructed to vote for John G. Carlisle for President. That, however, was simply a move to keep the vote of the State in baud. The heart of the Commonwealth was for McDonald, and it was a fond hope at that time that the honest old Hoosier would secure the prize. There were those of the delegation who from the beginning only saw disaster in Mr. Hendricks’s championship of their candidate, and when they heard the half-hearted plea for his friend their indignation knew no bounds. It was, in their opinion, the basest betrayal since the career of Jndas. They were delighted, therefore, when, after all of his plotting, Mr. Hendricks was beaten for the first place. His immediate reappearance for second place astonished nobody. The impression which he artfully nursed that he was the only Democrat who could carry Indiana had great weight with some of the delegates, but none at all with the Kentuckians. They set about to beat him. In looking over the field they espied Mr. Vilas, who was presiding over the convention. Mr. Vilas was known as a Democrat of the Northwest with some pretense as an orator. His friends claimed that with him on the ticket two at least of the Northwestern States could be carried. Among those truly eager to believe this were the Kentuckians. They saw a chance to pay Hendricks for his treachery to McDonald. The Hendricks men were giving it out that unless the nomination came to their candidate unanimously he would not accept it The silver salver business was thus being played for a man who was willine to receive the prize on a hickory chip. What dismay, therefore, would be created by an adverse report from one of the candidate’s nearest neighbors. The effect would be to hold the Hendricks people strictly to their word and start a stampede for the new man. The impression would be produced that the old WattersonHendricks feud had broken out afresh, and that there existed an opposition to Hendricks from the Tilden quarter, necessarily fatal to the Indiana man. The convention had assembled and the call of the States begun. One of the secretaries of the convention was Thomas S. Pettit, prominent in the politics of Kentucky, and now one of the reading clerks of the House of Representatives. He had charge of the roll-call. State after State voted ‘•Hendricks.” When Kentucky was reached, the cheering and confusion was very great It seemed useless to attempt a diversion in favor of another candidate. Overcome by his surroundings. Captain Sherley announced the vote of Kentucky for Hendricks. The announcement was received with renewed cheering. Delegates began parading around the hall. AH business was suspended. In a few moments Captain Sherley recovered his presence of mind and sent the following note, hastily scratched on a piece of paper, to Pettit: Dear Tom—Change four (4) of those votes to Vilas, and announce it. Thomas H. Sherley, Chairman Kentucky Delegation, Pettit was in doubt what to do. The regular proceeding would have been for the chairman to rise and announce the change. The Northwestern States, where Vilas was strong, were yet to be called, as were New York and New England, where Hendricks was weak. It seemed still possible to stem the tide ia favor of the Indianian. Pettit recognised the importance of the mesa ego which Sherley bad sent, bat he, too,

had apparently lost his head. He turned to the the chairman and handed him the note for advice. Mr. Vilas took it, read it, and bis eyes danced with delight The lightning seemed te be playing just above his head. Ho looked est Pettit and inquired, “Well?” Pettit asked: “What ought I to do?” “I can’t advise you,” replied Vilas. The cheering still continued, and so did Pettit’s dilemma. He turned to Carlisle and showed the note to him. Carlisle saw the poiut at once, • “Tom," said he. “I can’t advice you. but I know you, and I’ll stand for the integrity of whatever you conclude to do.” Left thus to himself, Pettit put the note in hifl pocket and determined to await, development* The uproar continued. No announcement could have been heard from the floor and none was made by Captain Sherley. Pettit looked in vain in the direction of tha Captain’s seat Its occupant made no sign. Tha roll-call proceeded, and the day was carried fan Hendricks. As Vilas rose to announce the result there was just a tremor in his voice, and hifl face betrayed the look of a man against whom the gates had been closed forever. He turned to Pettit: “As an officer of the convention, do you certify that this is a correct return?” “I certainly do, sir,” said Pettit, and the convention adjourned. Mr. Vilas could not have forgotten the namfl of Thomas H Sherley. No other man had eves seriously tried to nominate him for Vioe-prefli-dent. Os course he received the Captain with great cordiality. The Captain was not asking for much. And, besides, the enthusiasm of Mew Vilas's admirer must be fed on something, if it is to last until the next convention meets. Whn knows but what lightning will strike Mr. Vila! then? The Postmaster-general is looking to thfl future, and diligently scanning the political horizon for the faintest speck of a cloud which will carry him to the goal of his ambition. Tha question of the hour, however, is what wiU thfl Kentucky Bourbons say to Captain Sherley tat conspiring with Vilas to keep Mrs. Thompson, ft Republican, in office? AN RMBALMKR’S SECRET. Was There a Blunder in Preserving thfl Body of President Garfield? Adrian, Mich., Special. The Times, this morning, publishes the following interview with a professional embalman “It ia very easy to make a blunder which might be fraught with disagreeable results. Now, take the case of President Garfield, for instance,” said ho. . “President Garfield? What was there about his case:” queried the scribe. “Ah, I forgot for a moment that I was talking to an outsider, but the matter has long ceased to be a secret in the ranks of the profession, and I might as well tell it to you. Now, listen.- President Garfield died at Elberon on the 19th of September, 1881, on the eightieth day after he was shot. On the afternoon of the 21st the train bearing hifl remains reached Washington, and, on the very next day, it was announced that decomposition had already set in, tto casket was closed, and the remains shut from view. Why? Somebody blundered. lam not going to give the maun name, for he Is out of business now, I believe; lam sure he ought to be. But he undertook to embalm the remains, and he did it, but he blundered in doing it. Let me explain. Embalming is done for two objects, which are entirely distinct from each other, and to reach either different methods are employed. If the embalmer wishes to preserve the features and complexion intact he opens the brachial artery in the lefl arm (no blood remains in the arteries after death, you know), and injects about a ouart of n certain preparation, the components of which are a profound secret, bat the basis of which is arsenic, or, more properly speaking, arseniato of soda. But if the embalming is done with thfl idea of preserving the subject for the dissecting table, preserving the tissues, you see, an incision is made in the carotid artery, and about a gaUon of an entirely different fluid injected. Werfl you ever in a dissecting-room? Yes. Well, theq you have noticed the copper color of subjects on the table. This discoloration is caused by thfl action of the fluid. And this is precisely what happened with the remains of President Garfield. They were treated with the latter instead of the former mixture.” “But how do you know this?” “I know it Let me explain further. The train bearing the remains reaohed Cleveland on the afternoon or Saturday, the 24th. They were to lie in State on Sunday and be buried on Monday. Were you in Cleveland then?” “I was.” “And did you see the remains?” “No. It was announced that decomposition had set in before the remains left Washington, and consequently they were not exposed to view. ” ‘ ‘Well, I saw the remains and can vouch for the correctness of what I say. Clevei&nddiad been almost as much Garfield’s home as Mentor. It was desired that, if possible, the people there should have a chance to get & last look at the face of the man they bad loved and honored so much. Accordingly, on reaching Cleveland, the remains were hurried to an undertaker's establishment, and the night was spent in trying to get the face bleached into presentable shape. But it was no use. Work as we would and experiment $a we dared, too much time has elapsed since tho wrong fluid has been injected, and the faee was discolored beyond our efforts to bleach it Sunday morning found us still at work. It also found thousands of people in line ready to pass through the pavilion and past the catafalque. It was voo late to get the remains back into tho casket, and all that day and far into the nlghl crowds passed by that empty casket. The re* mains were placed baok on Sunday night and duly taken to the cemetery on Monday. “There, I have told you a story that has long been current in the profession.

There is a certain man living in Irwin who isl so outrageously tall that the other day when ho got aboard a train his ear caught on the signal cord and caused the train to stop. This is true, as we were an eye-witness to the affair. The conductor came near bouncing him from thfl train in consequence. Only a Few Are So Tried. Boston Herald.
