might nse their powers to oppress a small minority anil ruisht bo guilty of willful and persistent corruption. Irish jeers.) Tho history of Ireland proved that these remote dangers had reality. Such dangers did not exist in England. FroYifion Kas tuadt to aliow twenty ces-pavers to opplv toajndcnof assize for leave to petition for tbe removal of the councilors of a barony or county ironical opposition cheers on the ground that the -councilors vrere guilty of persistent disobedience of tho law. corruption or oppression. Ibe matter would be tried like an election petition. and if tho charge was established tho guilty councilors would bo replaced by nominees of the lord lieutenant. (Ironical cheers.) If malversation and oppression were pcssiblo it was the duty of tho house to provide an adequate remedy. tinch dangers existed in Ireland to an extent unknown in Knland and Scotland. In order to prevent extravagance on the part of the councils the bill would provide that land-owners honld have a deciding voice in permitting capital expenditures, as distinct from cur Tent expenditures. It was proposed that a committer be appointed which would coneist of seven members nominated . by the council and seven nominated by the grind Jury and heriii of tho county. He could not conceive of any danger of the councils becoming centers of political agitation to further the views of any part'oalar party. In reply to a question asked by Mr. llelllv. Mr. Ualfonr said that the bill would not a'tfect tbe police system of Ireland, and that the incidence of taxation would remain as it was at present, lie did not regard this bill as of equal importance with the land act and other measures, but he thought that it would in tbe Ions run knit clo-er together all classes of the country. Mr. Iialfour spoke for one hour and forty minntes. lie said in conclusion that he did not pretend that the bill would regenerate Ireland, hut he sincerely thought the Irian rate-payer had tho right to the name measure as was granted to the ratepayer in England and Scotland. He thereTore recommended the bill to the favorable attention of the House. AVAILED BY f HE OPPOSITION. John Morlcy characterized the bill as "the rottenest reed the Irish minority had ever leaned on for tho retention of privileges." He declared that the measure was framed in absolute distrust of the Irish people in fact on the assumption that they "Were "debased helots." The whole opposition broke lortb into cheers when Mr. 21orley called on tho government to go be lore tho people on the measure. In concluding he atlirraed that tbe bill was a mockery ollered to tbe lions?; that it was

a fnlsihentinn of the pledgee of tue government, and that it furnished grounds for tho manifestation of further irritation In Ireland. John Ifedmond protested against tho measure as a bham bill." He said he and Lis colleagues came unprepared to accept it. even if had been a good bill, but tho bill was one which every Irishman would strenuously resist. The manner in which it was proposed is an insult to the Irish. As for himself he conla Dot conceive how any government could beeo full of imbecility as to go before the country on such a bill, and he would do his uttermost to oppose its every stage. Justin McCarthy, in the course of his remarks, advised th governmit to burn tbe bill, decjariug that the nationalists would reject it "as an unclean thing." Mr. llealy said he never knew of a more contemptible biiL It was an Absolute failtire, be said, "and died in the mouth of its proposer." 6ir William Vernon-IIarconrt said that a bill more insulting to the Irish he could not conceive of. It bore the stamp of Mr. Chamberlain, who was the mother of the 'bill, sir William ridiculed tbe idea of a county council oMrial judges. Mr. iiat'onr denied that tho bill was ineulting to Ireland. The opposition speechos lie said, showed the insincerity of the cry lor local government for Ireland. If, owing to obstruction, the present bill should not be passed, local government for Ireland "Would be indefinitely postponed. The only reason why the Irish parties should obstruct the bill was that it contained machinery to stop corruption and oppression. The only inference was that they desired to make something out of the councils. At this the whola opposition joined iu crying "Shame," "Shame," while the Conservatives cheered. Mr. Labonchere said that Mr. Iialfour ras "between the devil and the deep, deep en. He had to introduce the bill to satisfy his master. Chamberlain, and had to persuade the Conservatives that the bill was a sham, and that it would be a waste of time to discuss such a measure, defended nY chamberlain. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain denied that ho Lad assisted in the work of framing the bilL He said that he approved of the manner in which the government had redeemed its pledges. The safeguards introduced iu the bill in regard to corruption wero those that the Americans the most democratic people in the worldhad introduced into their Constitution. There was not one of the American States or legislatures but could be brousht before the Supreme Court. Ho considered it no wzong to any class of persons in Ireland if a council continuing in contempt of court was at length suppressed. Mr. James llrice, of the south division of Aberdeen, a Liberal in favor of home rule lor lrelaud, denied that there was any comIarison between the proposed councils in reland and the relation in which tbe Americad State legislatures stood to the Supreme Court, which had only power to nullify an act passed by a legislature in excess of its powcrn. T. D. Sullivan said be recognized in the insulting safeguards of tho bill the Lands of Lord Salisbury, who bad dubbed Irishmen "Hottentots" and "lepers." Mr. Sexton said that never in his parliamentary experience had he seen so incompetent a bilL The trial clause would enable twenty ill-conditioned men. perhaps a gang of evicting landlords, to conspiro to Haul a county's representative before the judues. He protested against the eternal suspicion which the government bestowed on Ireland. William Redmond said he regarded tho bill as death-bed repentence, because the government did not dare to appeal to the country on its coercive policy alone. Yet it wa.4 tho most studied insult that Mr. Iialfour had ever leveled at the Irish people. Tho bill passed tho first reading, and Mr. Iialfour used the second reading lor March 2. During Mr. Balfour's speech there was a large attendance in tho House. Tho galleries wero crowded with peer, including the Duke of Devonshire, Earl Cado.zari, Lord Aberdeen and the Larl of Limerick. Conservatives, for tbo most part decline, to criticise the bill until it has been printed. Some steadfast supporters of the Ministry, however, confessed that the measure needs much amending. There was a notable absence of Conservative enthusiasm, while on tho other hand the Liberals were exnltant. regarding tho bill as the final blow to the government's chances in the coming general election. Both sections of the Irish members intend to oppose the bill to the utmost. COOKIXG-STOVE AS A CREMATORY. Codies of Three Children Earned br a French Tanadi&n to Save Funeral Expenses. Montreal, Feb. 19. A horrible story of a private crematory comes to light in St. Cuuegode, a suburb of this place. A spikemaker named Adolphe Lawse recently lost three children. and burned their bodies iu a cooking-stovo to save funeral expenses. Magistrates have been applied to but they hold that he acted within his righis. Hex. Father Sequin was notified and he called on the fat be r. Lawse said he had lived both in France and cities of the United States. In both places be bad heard dead people were burned in big ovens. Such being the case, he thought he was justified in burning his own young children after their death in his own cooking-stove. Ho also held the opinion that he had a perfect right to bury his children in his back-yard or in his cellar, which he also appears to have done iu another case. He contended that he had known such things to have been done by people whom he was personally acquainted with in Paris. llombft Thrown At th Soldier. Chattanooga.

PBIYATELY WEDDED ABROAD

Justice Fuller Announces tbe Marriago of His Daughter Mary at San Remo. The Ceremony Performed When She Was Supposed to Be Dying Colin C. Manning, of South Carolina, the Lucky Tcung Man. Washington, Feb. 18. A sensational dispatch was sent out from Washington last night in regard to the recent marriage of Miss Mary Fuller, daughter of Chiefjustice Fuller, and Mr. Colin C. Manning, son of ex-Govtrnor Mnnning, of South Carolina, which recently took place in Italy. The story, in fact, has it that Mr. Manning had followed the young woman to Europe, and had persuaded her to marry him in spite of the strong onposition of her parents. Their friends in Washington say there is not a word of truth in it, and all reports of objections by tho Chiefjustice to their marriage are pure invention and cruel to the last degree. Mrs. Fuller, who has just returned from Europe after spending many weary weeks at the bedside of her daughter, in conversation with a newspaper reporter, to-day, expressed her indignation that such unkind and unnecessary coloring should have been given to her daughters marriage. Mrs. Fuller said that her daughter went to Berlin while in poor health to finish her musical education, and that soon after reaching there she grew much worse, and Mrs. Fuller was summoned to her bedside. She now eays that if it had not been for Manning she would scarcely be able to hold up during the long journey belore eho reached her daughter's bedside in Berlin. For days and days they watched tbe invalid and just as soon as it was possible for her to be removed tbey took her to San Kerao. Her condition became again bo critical that bcr life was despaired of, and Mrs. Fuller felt that the devotion of Mr. ManniDg should receive its reward. Tb bans wore put up, all the necessary conditions complied with, and tbo marriage took place at a moment when it seemed as if the bride would scarcely live anotherhour. But from that on a decided improvement was noticed in the invalid, and the fortnight longer that Mrs. Fuller stayed with the happiest couple in all the world she could see her daughter's strength slowly but surely coming back. The Post will publish this card tn the morning: To the Kditor of the Post: "When Mrs. Fuller was summoned to Berlin in the latter part of November, by the illness of our daughter Mary, sbe was accompanied by Mr. Colin C. Manning, of bonth Carolina, between whom and our children an attachment has long existed with our entire appropation For some weeks the result of the attack was doubtful and at last a fatal termination seemed so imminent that we thought it best for the marriage to take place at once, and it was accordingly celebrated on ' Jan. 7 at San Remo. But in order to avert every agitation or excitement from our daughter in her extremely low state, we refrained from giving publicity to the fact, reserving the announcement until, if spared, she had somewhat recovered her strehgtb. "As soon as the mother had ground to believe that immediate danger was passed she left Marv to tho tenderness and care of her husband, in whom we have every confidence, and hastened bank to her duties here, arriving Monday evening. A cable assures ns that there is a marked change for the better, and the solo reason for our reticence has happily ceased to exist. Melville Fullek." FIRED BY. AX ELECTRIC WIRE. Origin of the New Orleans Conflagration Lots Now Tut at 91100,000. Nnw Orleans, Feb. 18. Simon Toby, tbe insurance editor, says that tho actual loss by lire last night will amount to 8l.100.OlX), and the insurance, 8750.COO. Tho home companies, Colonel Toby says. ar6aftected to the extent of $200,000. The rest of the insurance is carried by foreign companies. Among the heavy losers is tho Homo company, which was caught for 24.000. The Sun comes next with $22,00). Some of the other companies are tho Crescent, Hibernia, Mechanics' and Traders'. Tentonia, Pelican, Firemen's of New Orleans, and, in fact, nearly every otber company. Every agency in the city is hit hard. The individual losses vary little from the amounts given this morning. The general opinion is that the tiro was caused by an electric-light wire. The Schwartz building was illuminated by the Edison electrlo lights. There were no other lights in the store, and, from what the employes say, there was no lire on any Uoorof the building. Tho fire burned so rapidly and the heat was so intense that those who reached the scene shortly after the iire was discovered were unable to say positively on which floor the lire originated. Another 111 Dry-Goods Fire. Cleveland. O., Feb. IP, At 12 o'clock last night, the live-story brick building at the corner of Superior xna Seneca streets, occupied by tho E. M. McGillen Dry-goods Company, caught iire and before the department arrived was a mass of ilames. At 2:00 A. M. the iire was under control and the large McGillin establishment was a smoldering ruin. The firemen succeeded in confining tbe llames almost entirely to two buildings. Only the front wall of tho McGillin Block remains standing. The building was owned by James J. Tracy, and was valued at about 50.000. It is a total loss, but the damage is reasonably covered by insurance. The E. M. McGillin Pry-goods Company occupied six lloors, with a stock consisting of dress goods. silks, satins, furs, velvets, notions, laces and gloves, house-furnishing goods, millinery, cloaks, underwear, carpets and wash fabrics. The entire stock is destroyed, and the loss upon it is S 221, ."CO. The loss on fixtures and other property owned by the dry-goods company will bring the total amount of damage np to $230,000. The company carried insurance amounting to S-0.-ooo. The Northrop fc Harrington Block, across Seneca street from tbe Tracy building, in which is located tbe Union National Bank and Hower & Higbee's dry goods store, was damaged by ilames and water to tbo extent of $29.000 on building and contents. The damage is covered by insurance. Fnldeim's shoe store, on Superior street, adjoining the Tracy Block, was damaged to tbe extent of S10.10J by fire and water. Tbe ilames started in the basement of the McGillin Block, near the boilers. Other Losses by Fire. North Manchester. Ind.. Feb. 13.

INDIANA AND ITS DETRACTORS. A Sharp Kebcke to Ignorant Critics with Some Facts for Their Benefit. J. M. fpencer. In Erie (Pa.) Morning Ban. One of the most remarkable illustrations In a recent number of the Illustrated American is an illustration of that journal's ignorance or prejudice, which occurs in a sketch of the Hon. William S. Holman. The paragraph runs thus: Holman la now in bis seventieth year. lie was born in a log cabin in Indiana that wilderness of ignorance and meanness acquired what In those part is termed an education, at Franklin College, and blossomed Into a district schoolteacher. On another page Joaquin Miller's unique dwelling in Washington is mentioned as "a cabin of structuro and design as rude as one would see in the most benighted regions of Indiana or the farthest West." Tho Illustrated American approaches in its tasteful appearance the French journal, Paris Illustre. which it was established to imitate. Its editorial matter is generally free from that "astounding lack of serious interest" which Matthew Arnold noted in the American press, and aims at good tasto and literary linisb. assuming, indeed, a complacent air of superiority. In fact, in tho same number, it says of Itself (which, however, is not cited as an evidence of its perfect tasto) that it is "a periodical which enriches the mind of old and young, and which is absolutely free from the lickleness, frivolity and lliopancy of American journalism." Mo facts are adduced to support its fling at Indiaua. On the contrary, the article in which it occurs recoguizes Judge Holman as one of the most valuable members of Congress. Such matter as tbat first quoted, in a journal which comes in artistio guise and franght with encouraging promise of a future, wbun retinement, courtesy and fairness shall characterize American newspapers, is like a worm iu a peach. Is tbe Illustrated American aware tbat in President Harrison Indiana has given to the country a wise, patriotic and scholarly statesman, whose public utterances are distinguished not only for their logical force, but also for exquisite tact and their purity and grace of language, lias it forgotten that in the present generation two Indiauians were Vice-presidents of the United States, another Speaker of the House, and that numerous citizens of that State have achieved distinction in the Cabinet and in Congress? Does it know tbat one of the present Senators from Indiana is in tbo front rank of American orators! Tbat iu the past few years Indiana men. such as McDonald, Gresbam and Hendricks have hnd strong support in the conventions of their parties lor the presidential nomination! That Lincoln in his boyhood, tb, formative period of his character, lived in Indiana! That Indiana men ably represent this Nation now in two important foreign missions Italy and China! That Oliver P. Morton was the war Governor of Indiana? Has the Illustrated American heard of Lew Wallaco and his novel, "Ben-Hur," which the most exacting critics have applauded? Uf Dr. Edward Eggleston as editor of the Century Magazine and eminent in letters? Of James Whitcomb Biley, who is coining the humor and pathos of Indiana dialect and character into literary gold with a ring as genuine as that of Kobert Burns? These are Indiana men. Does it know that the play of "Blue Jeans," by Joseph Arthur, another Hoosier. drew large audiences in New York city for livo months last year, and is doing tho same now? And that the anthor gained his inspiration for later work at his boyhood's home in Rising Sun, lnd., a beautitul and picturesque town on the Ohio river, where the action of the play is located? And that in this same town was born and raised John James Piatt, whoso poetry is distinguished wherever English literature is known tor its tenderness and relinement? That one of the cleanest and ablest journals in New York city pays a muniheont salary to Maurice Thompson, a resident of Crawfordsville, lnd., for conducting its department of literary criticism? Tbat when Senator Stanford looked about last year for tho best man his vast wealth and iniluence could secure to place at the head of his great university in California he found him in the person of President Jordan, of the Indiana State University, at Bloomington? Investigation would show that Indiana has a proud record in statesmanship, literature and patriotism. But it is unnecessary to multiply instances. Without data at hand a few random facts have been noted that suggest themselves, and they sutlice to show that if the Illustrated American has established a case of ignorance and meanness it has located those unfortunate qualities somewhere else tbau in Indiana. Where, we leave that paper to guess, with tbo suggestion tbat its attempted imitation of the name of its French mode, Paris Illustre. has led it into a solecism that any high-school pupil in Indiana could correct, to-wit. the qualification of one adjective bv another. A moro intelligent estimate of Indiana is that of Chancellor Kent, in his famous "Commentaries on American Law." where he eays: "It is an interesting fact to tind not only tho lex mercatoriaof tbe English common law, but the rolinements of tho English equity system, adopted and enforced iu the State of Indiana as early as 1820, when we consider how recently that country had then risen from a wilderness into a cultivated and refined community. The Teports in Indiana here referred to are replete with extensive and accurate law-learning, and the notes of the learned reporter (Judge Isaac Blackford) annexed to tbe cases are very valuable." Indiana is a State of marked individuality. It is not dominated by any great city. It is not subservient to any foreign element. It is distinctly an independent, intelligent, patriotic American State, and its magniticent system of public schools, its colleges and universities, produce a culture which in no wise sutiors by comparison with that of the Tammany-ridden environment of the Illustrated American. Indiana needs no vindication among people of ordinary intelligence. It is less for that purpose we write thau to express disappointment at encountering a rancorous enarl where we wero to look for candor and urbanity. Ex-fiorernor Curtln on Harrison. Interview In Dcliefonte, Ta., Gazette. Since Secretary of State James O. Blaine has to positively declined tho preferred honor, I see no way for your party but to renominato President Harrison. And wby not? Hasn't he given yon a most eminently clean administration? Hasn't ho had less political and administrative scandals than any administration for years? lie is a thoroughly clean man, a descendant of the purest of pure ancestry and one in whom no one can find the least taint, whother personal, political or official. Goofl Appointments. Washington Post. It will be no small satisfaction to tbe President, on looking back upon his official career, to feel that he has strengthened the judiciary at every point, from the Supreme Court to the district courts. In no stronger or more effectual way could he commend his administration to the confidence of tho country. ; Inland's Limitations. Boston Transcript. Mr. Bland's wits are not extensive and it is always easy for him to get to their end when he advocates free coinage. Some kind of turnips should be grown every year by all farmers who keep any kind of stock. The white or strap-leaved vnrieties can b grown with no labor except sowing and harvesting: on any well-cared-for crn or potato field. They do more than fnrnish valuable- food at nominal cost. They save hotu of the fertility that develops in a well-tilled soil too lat for summer crops to useit. and most of which would be wasted if the turnip crop were not on the ground to take the benefit of it.

JUL BARTER'S FKIGI1T. Free Coinage Ilad No Terrors for Ilim Last Slimmer, When He Fouclit for Campbell. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Jouraau Your article in to-day's Journal concerning tho "Frightened Statesman" from Ohio was read with considerable interest and amusement, and will be by others who, lite myself, live in close proximity to tho gentleman referred to and know of his record and ability to turn everything and every position, without regard to principle, to the furthering of the best interests of the Democratic parti. We are not in tbe least surprised at the shrewd trick of this frightened statesman who attempted to enlist the G. A. R. posts of this country in forty-fivo minutes in behalf of the well being and best interests of the Democratic party. He seems to be badly 6cared, and appeals to the soldiers to come to tho rescue. When did he come to such a chango of heart? Let us see. He is a member of tbo State central committee, of Ohio, and has been for several years. Last summer, when tho Democratic party held, their convention and nominated Campbell, und adopted a free-silver plank in their platform. Mr. Ilarter did not become a bit frightened, lie did not send out flaming circulars to the soldiers warning them of their dan tier. But we all know what be did do. lie took oft" his coat, and during that memorable campaign be did not ntter one word against free silver. Wo know tbat he left no stone unturned, and no ono in tbo Statu probably contributed moro money than ho for the success of the Democratic party. It is certainly amusing and instructive for him to tell us that this is not a party question. We thought last fall, in Ohio, that it was. We remember of hearing Governor McKinley ask Mr. Campbell, at their joint debate nt Ada. bow he stood on their platform whether be stood with one foot on the freesilver plank and one on the plank of free trade, or whether he -straddled them both? And Mr. Campbell was ashamed And afraid to sav that he stood on either. Where was Mr. Harter at this time? He was in another part of the State defending the Democratic party from tbe stump in all its past actions, and not one word did be ntter ugainst tho plank which he now has become so terribly friehtened over. How many commanders of G. A. R. posts In this country, after a delibration of another forty-live minutes, could not see through this little political trick? Mr. Harter might as well have saved his time ana postage. The soldiers are not looking to him or his party for relief or favors. If they did tbey would tind it come in tbe shape of a "lop-olf," first with fome who helped to light the battles for the Union and became disabled, and afterwards saw fit, probably through no fanlt or their own, to live in some other country. Their heads first would drop from the pension-rolls. Then another ,lop-olV, would be their neighbors whom prosperity had smiled on for a while, when a smtlling committee would call on them to see if they had enough to liye on: if so. they would be dropped. Such a bill as this has in the last few days been introduced in the lower house by a Southern member. Wo would fike to see where Mr. Harter stands on these bills before he dies from fright over the silver question. Buckeye, GcEExnnLD. lnd., Feb. 18. i m m ' Gossip at the Capital. WasMngton Tost. One of the best dressed women in Washington society, one of whose gowns generally discounts in valuea half dozen at least of those worn by her neighbors in a fashionable assemblage, recently made the almost incredible statement that she rarely saw her dress-maker oftener than once a year. The troublesome matter of having tbe gowns lit ted is conducted by correspondence, as, owing to multitudinous social engagements, the wearer of those same welllittiug gowns has not the time to give tho dress-maker for that purpose. That there are strange things done in the name and under tho cover of society goes without saying, and that etiquette goes begging is evidenced dozens of times during tiie season. One of the most glaring incidents occurred not so very long since nt a dinner party given at one of the legations in honor of Lord and Lady Blank, at tbat time traveling in this country. Among tbe guests was ayoung lady who, after desiring the minister to cive her an especial introduction to Lord Blank, from that time until the adieux were spoken directed the artillery ot her smiles and conversation exclusivelj to him. When the dinner was announced and Lord Blank advanced to give his arm to tho hostess, the young woman quiokly interposed herself, and slipping her hand through the proffered arm, marched to tfie dining-room in triumph.

ALFRED GRUNFELD.

Ho is not only tlio foremost representative of tlio model school of Kullak, but so distinct an individuality as to impress most favorably both heart and ear. I forbear to mention thoso qualities concerning which all critics are in accord: The wonclerfiil versatility of his technique, the softness, tenderness and fullness, tho beautiful light and shade of his touch, etc.; his interpretation of Schumann's master-works, and especially of his Etudes Symphoniques and Fantasio Op. 17, 1 must declare the nearest possible approach to perfection. Such deep poetic conception, united with such minute correctness, thoso compositions have seldom been favored with. If I should still have the good fortune of being regarded as competent to judge, I award Alfred Grunf eld a foremost place among those virtuosos whom it is really worth while considering in earnest.
