HOW THE EXPENSES OP HEAV YOIIIC COURTS ARE SWELLED,

Comical Leeches on the Pay Uoll Who Jferer Work-Counter-Charges uy Jndec CoivIbe, a Tammanylte. . NEW YORK, March 20. The Senate 'Judiciary committee, which came to New York to Investigate the Court of General Sessions and hear arguments on the Goff bill, was late In ' beginning work. All of the Judges of the general sessions had been summoned aa witnesses. Ilecorder Goff told the committee of neglect of duty on the part of court attaches, which to his mind constituted a reason why there should be a reorganization. "There are men in this room to-day," said the " recorder, "who are on the pay roll as court officers, but who have not rendered to the State a dollar's worth of duty. One of them is Patrick Daly. He sits there. He is the head porter In the Manhattan Beach Hotel and his time Is devoted to that work. Another, Mr. McGuire, over there, has entirely too much outside business to be a court attendant. I believe Chief Clerk John F. Carroll should be supplanted by a man of a differnt type. He is a very active politician and I believe that civil-service rules should hold In this matter.., I , believe that If efficiency and length ' of service were properly awarded Mr. Edward Hall, one of the deputy clerks, who has served for twenty years, would bo the chief clerk." The Recorder then told how he had .tried to get the other judges to let him remove Mr. Carroll and appoint some one In his place, but had found them i united in their opposition. "Judge Cowing know3," began the Recoder. . , "Hold - on," said Judge Cowing,; "don't use my name." ' "Judge1 Cowing knows that he made removals to mako room for Tammany Hall men," continued the Recorder. - "That is false," cried Judge Cowing. "It Is false and he knows it."" "V ' ' "WhyV continued the Recorder, "there Is Captain Curry, of the court attendants. many Hall when Judge Cowing appointed -him.'"- ---'-y y-V - "That is not so," cried Captain Curry, who was standing hear the witness chair. "It is not so," and the Captain raised his finder warnlngly at the Recorder. There was a burst of applause at Curry's words and the Recorder flushed scarlet. "It Is not so, cried Captain Curry a third time. "'I have been a Democrat all my life." Again there was a clapping of hands and stamping of feet" throughout ' the court room.. Senator . O'Conner rapped for order and said: "The' next time such a demon0tration occurs . I shall clear the room ln-i tantly of' all except witnesses and reporters" ! The Recorder said that he himself did not want, to have the appointment, but was satisfied if : the Mayor or the Governor should have that power. "Does either of the other judges care to put any questions to the Recorder while he Is on the stand?" asked Senator O'Connor. . "I certainly do not," cried 'Judge Cowing. Why should IT' He added this In a lower tone. '"I have not spoken , to him In three weeks. This is the first lime that I have heard anything so disgraceful in this court f in . the sixteen years I have had the honor to be a judge here, ,1- have no questions 'to put but I wish to .be heard and that In . a very decided way." . Senator O'Connor's gavel fell at 2:20 took his place in the witness chair. He began by telling what his official position was and how long he had served. He said: "Gentlemen of the committee, I have not come here to drag down my own court nor to beBinlrch my own men. Until within the past three months our honorable court has -iever Deen aiiacKea. wunm that time,however. I have heard vague rumors of irregularities in this court." Judge Cowing then took up the matter of the bill and said: "Suppose . I, Judge Cowing, should have been elected to the Supreme Court and should have, after taking my seat, sent a bill to the Senate increasing my salary about one-third and taking from my fellowjustices all of t.helr rights and prerogatives, what would you have thought of me?" . "We are not under oath said Senator O'Connor. "I will not pause for a reply," retorted the Judge. "I know that the English language Is inadequate for you to properly characterize such conduct." He then took upjh? matter of the raise of salary In the Ciofr bill.. .-i - The chairman asked: "Does it give the recorder more money. - , - "Why, certainly it does. Of course. It does. Why, there is an item of $2,000 a year Included in the amount sought by him. That imforofficeT.rent-"rhe city gives him his office free. It gives us our offices free. Why ehould he have 2,G00 a year for offices which he does' not have to rent?" The next question taken up by Judge Cowing was the natter of the chief justieeehlp, which th recorder, he said, is after, ".naturally, am Chief Justice here," he said, by reason of my long service. I have been here for seventeen years. The recorder Jiasnot been here for seventeen weeks. ".I am the Chief Justice and I was so chosen by my associates; Remember. I shall continue to claim to be the Chier Justice until you gentlemen see tit to make a new one and onefa may say, which we, don't any of us want. If he is more WQrthv than T.-nm. twrhana x'mi r(!l I, - " . , t - . . . . v ri 111 1 1 1 ti. rv 13 mm me vmei - Justice., , liut I doubt it. Why, he is not even a Judge. Actually th Supreme Court has decided that the recorder is ittft a jude. Now. the Idea ot your appointing a man who is not a lawyerOr a judge, I whould say to the chief Justiceship of this court is,' to me, absurd. I have, I think, said enough on that subject." It is true that I was nominated by Tammany Hall, but is that a matter of which to be ashamed. I received the unan Imous vote of both parties. I am an independent man and I will not let any politics interfere in any ay with my duties." Judge Cowing said that he was very sorry that Recorder Goff had been so unfair and unjust to the employes this morning. He took up each case that the recorder had mentioned, and showed how one, whom the recorder had mentioned as not attending to bis .duties, had been very ill for the past few months, after fifteen years of service. Another had served for sixteen years, and had never been guilty of any misconduct. "He says a great deal about there being no rules to govern this court," said the Judge. "Why, the court of criminal procedure is full of rules, and we are. guided by them. Ah for other rules for our especial use, we, the Judges of this court, have talked that matter over long before Mr. Goff was ever thought of as recorder." Judge Cowing srave his version of the meeting of the Judges and recorder last January. H said the recorder drew a paper from his pocket and said: "Well, how about these appointments. I want to appoint a chief clerk." "I said to him," said Judge Cowing, " 'no one Judge can appoint him. The law says he must be appointed by the recorder, city Judges and both Judges of General Sessions.' 'Well,' said the recorder, 'if you won't give him to me I'll go to Albany where I have influence and set all the appointments.' " 'Oh,' said I, 'that sounds like a threat. Oh, we will go slowly in this thins.' " At this point Recorder Goff. addressing the committee, said he had heard of the very serious turn that Judjra Marline's illness had taken and suggested that the committee adjourn. , . Judge Fitzgerald rose while the Recorder was speaking and said that he had just heard that Judge Martine was dead. The committee at once took a recess. TU committee wits called to order again at o'clock. Recorder Go it arose, and addressing the committee, said: "It is with the deepest pain that I learn thut the report of Judge Martine's death has been verified. I regret dc-piy the fe lings of unpleasantnes which have come between Judsre Martine and myself o late, but in spite of our antagonistic attitude In matters of the court I have learned to like Judste Martine for his many good qualities. He was a manly man, an impartial Judxe, and an affable and courtly gentleman. Out of rtspect for him I request that this inquiry be adjourned to such time as you think proper." After euloelstie remarks by others the committee adjourned to meet next Saturday In adjourning the meeting the chairman ex pressed the hope that this affliction would tend to bring about a kindlier feeling anions the remaining Judges of the General Sessions Court. - Old Officers Will Hold Over.

Rescue of Ft re . Sailors Who Had Abandoned Their Sinking Ship.

NEW YORK. March 20. The steamer Silvia, which arrived this afternoon from ; Trinidad and Grenada, picked up' at sea and brought to this port Captain Sawyer and. four seamen of the schooner Anita, of Machias, Maine, which they abandoned on March 23 in a sinking condition. Captain Sawyer reports that the Anita left Philadelphia, on. March 23 for Havana with a full cargo of coal. Shortly before noon on March 28 an enormous wave broke on board, flooding the Jeck with a tremendous body of water. When the vessel shook her self free It was found that three seamen, who were at work on the pumps, had been washed overboard. Seaman-A. Schultz, aged twenty-five, managed to reach the life line and was hauled on board more dead than alive. The two others, named Ernest M. Roach, of Germany, aged thirty, and An-, tonio Watelan. aged twenty-two, were not seen, again. The schooner rapidly Cllled with water. SlgniSls of distHess were hoisted and at 5:30 p. m. the steamer Silvia, Captain Clark, bore down and stood by. A boat was launched and the crew of five men taken on board the steamer. The Anita was built at East Machias in 1872 and registered 384 tons and is supposed to have been insured. .. . . KATES GONE TO SMASH EAST-BOUND GRAIN TARIFF CUT IX - TWO MY CHICAGO ROADS. Not One Line Living: Vp to the Agreement Lumber Hates Position of the D. & O..S. W. and B. & O. CHICAGO. March 30. East bound grain rates from Chicago have gone to smash. Not the- slightest : pretense of maintaining the tariff rate of 20 cents is made by any of the lines, and it was declared this afternoon that 'the Grand Trunk had decided to put in a rate of 12 cents from Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard. The report staggered the Central Traffic Association some what and a messenger was at onoe dispatched to the Grand Trunk with request for information. He came back without It, the Grand Trunk refusing either to affirm or deny the report. Some very heavy shipments were contracted for yesterday at 12 cents, and a story was abroad yesterday that lacked ; entire' confirmation, was that 'one lot of 530,000 bushels! of whet had been taken at 10 cents, just half of the tariff irate. The rate of 20 cents, which all lines: agreed to rigidly maintain, has never been regarded as In forde. The roads, from now9; until navigation opens? will take aboutall the grain they can get, at about whatever price they can get. A dispatch . from Cincinnati says: "The reports about the rescinding of the notice of withdrawal is believed to be due to the fact that the presidents of the trunk lines are. to meet In New York on April 9, and the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern has been requested to wait until that time. The notice of withdrawal takes effect April 4, and the B. & O, S. W. will be out of the agreement at least from April 4 to 9, if not longer. - y Wisconsin Lumber Rates. CHICAGO. March 30. Chairman Midgley, of the Western Freight Association, has decided that the Wisconsin roads have the right, by the unanimous consent of the carriers In that State to estatnlsh lumber rates between points In the State of Wisconsin, and without further procedure to make them effective. The Wisconsin company has the right; if its members so elect, to restore tlie rates on lumber from all points in Wisconsin north of Prairie Du Chien division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, also from the peninsula of Michigan, that were in effect prior to the voluntary advance made In them In November, 1893, to points in central and southern Illinois and to points in Indiana and Ohio. Care should be taken,, the chairman says, to promptly inform the Minneapolis lines of whatever is decided, in order that corresponding action . may be adopted by the latter if so desired. No change should be. made In the authorized rates on lumber to , Chicago and , the points in northern Illinois from Illinois and from Mississippi river crossings pending further inquiry into the rights of the several parties In those respects. The Fickle II. & O. S. W. CHICAGO. March SO. The denial of General Passenger Agent Chesbrough, of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, . telegraphed from St. Louis, that his road had suspended its notice of withdrawal from the presidents' agreement, and his declaration that the Baltimore & Ohio was quite likely to foljw' the Southwestern, was something the Central Traffic Association lines J running out of Chicago . were not prepared for. 'ihe spirit was generally yesterday expressed that its withdrawal has been suspended, and it was backed up bv the explicit statement of a high official of the Central Traffic Association that the notice , of withdrawal had been suspended on Thursday of this week. Plant System Not Boycotted. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 30.-Offi: ! ciais or tne fiant - railroad and steamboat" system declare that the statement that the Pennsylvania railroad is helping the Seaboard Air-line by orders to 'mployes not to handle the tickets over the Plant system is incorrect. Colonel H. S. Haines, vice president of the Plant railway system, now in this city, said to-day: "There is no boycott of the Plant system on the part of the Pennsylvania road, and there are no differences between the Plant . system and the Seaboard Air-line.'. .w . A UIk Scheme on Paper. CHICAGO, March 30.-James G. Hulse. Parker Crittenden and John W., Hill, all of this city, have incorporated the Interoceanic Electric Company, with a capital stock of $200,000,000. The company was formed to operate a grain transportation electric railway invented .by Mrs. M.:E. Beasley, from New York to Chicago, and finally to the Pacific coast. About $15,000 has already been spent upon plans and stock will be issued for the purpose Of raising the required funds for starting the work. -At Vanderbilt Scheme. OTTAWA. On t.; March 30. An application in to-day's Gazette for an act giving the Canadian Southern Railroad Company power to "acquire, lease or amalgamat with" the H., & B. railway seems to Inuicate that the VanderbiU system is behind the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo railroad scheme and . is seeking an entrance to Toronto. - .

Semple, resigned. Probate J at! ire Misninm'. ' MONTGOMERY. Ala.. March 30. A sen-" sation has been caused here by the continued mysterious absence - of Col. Frank B. Randolph, probate Judge of Montgomery county. He is believed to have fled to Central America., having last been seen at New Orleans by a gentleman of this city, whom he requested to keep the fact of seeing him a secret. State examiner of public accounts is now investigating his accounts, and it is unofficially stated that he has discovered a shortage of from $20,000 to $.i0,00u. "Utile Corinne" Snt Dead. ALBANY. N. Y., March 30.-The report that "Little Corinne," the little actress, had died here on Thursday night is untrue. The woman who died was a nun at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, at Kenwood. She came here from Little Rock. Ark., ten years ago. What lent color to the report that the actress had d!ed was the fact that she has been 111 and there -was some talk of her being brought to Albany thi3 week for treatment. Shot by the Woman He Flogrred. FAYETTE, Mo.. March 30.-Thomaa White, formerly marshal, of Rocheport. accused the wife of David Eaton, a colored farmer, of telling evd stories about him to his wife, and threatened, to whip her when he should catch her. Last evening he met her in n store and wipped her with a rawhide. The woman got a pistol and shot White in thv. right temple, killing him instantly. The v. oman was arrested.

Indicate as surely as any physical symptom shows anything, that the organs and tissues of the body are not satisfied with their nourishment. They draw their sustenance from the blood, and if the blood is thin impure or insufficient, they are in a 6tate of revolt Their complaints are made to the brain, the king of the body, through the nervous system, and the result of the general dissatisfaction is what we call Nervousness. . This is a concise, reasonable explanation of the whole matter. The cure for Nervousness, then, is simple. Purify and enrich your blood by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and the nerves, tissues and organs will have the healthful nourislunent they crave. Nervousness and Weakness will then give way to strength and health. . That this is not theory but fact is proven by the voluntary statements of thousands cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla.

CARLISLE BLUNDERED HIS ESTIMATE OP REVEXUE RECEIPTS WAS FAR FROM CORRECT. Deficit for the Present , Fiscal Year Will Reach Forty-Two Million. Dollars by May 1. "WASHINGTON March SO. Contrary to expectations of the officials the treasury receipts for the month of March will again fall below the expenditures. The amount, however, is only about $234,000. The excess of expenditures over receipts for the nine months of the present fiscal year is over' $26,500,000, and this amount will almost certainly be- increased ' by $5,000,000 or more during April which "will leave a deficit-, of about 542,000,000 on May 1. : During May and June, however, great things are expected from the income Jax, but the most conservative estimates now place the' deficit for the fiscal year $25,000,000 or $5,000,000 greater than Mr. Carlisle's, estimate sent to Congress with his last annual report. The outlook for heavy receipts from' the two great sources of income, customs and internal revenue, are not encouraging, particularly from the latter. During the month of August, 1804, the internal revenue receipts, in anticipation of the increased rate of duty, ran up to $27,-. 662,000, Wit' not since that time have they, reached much more than a third of that amount. In September they scarcely exceeded $6,000,C00, and since then they have been slowly increasing until : the present month, when they amounted to over $9,800,000. This, however, is far below the expectations of the officials. The receipts from customs during the last twelve months have shown an uneven, but on the whole a fair, increase: During July, 1894, they reached the low figure of $8,427,000, but during August they increased to nearly $12,000,000, and during September to about $15,664,990. : The three succeeding months showed a falling off of from $4,000,000 to over $5,000,000. In 1895, however, they - recovered to over $17,000,000, and then again there was a decline to j$13,300,000, and an increase during the present month to nearly $15,000,0C0. Only twice, however, since May, 1894. have the receipts from all sources equaled the expenditures. In June, 1894. there was a si ght excesjs. and during August the excess reached $9,000,OCO. The receipts during that morth were abnormal, owing, as stated, to the increased tax on spirits. All things considered, much depends on the decision of the Supreme Court on the question of the validity of the income tax. Should the law be upheld, as seems altogether probable, the treasury officials look for fair sailing from this time on. but should the law be declared unconstitutional an extra session of Congress, called to prov'de for revenues sufficient to meet the needs of the government, is regarded by the officials as at least probable. MAY RE SUSTAIXEU. Speculation as to the Coiiilue Decision on the Income Tax Law. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. - WASHINGTON. March 30. In view of the probable , decision of the United : States Supreme Court on next Monday of the income tax case speculation Is rife as to the result. It is said the court will affirm the validity of the law. Many rumors are in circulation as to the status of the court on this .question, but the OfMjferences of the court which are held on each Saturday during its session, are guarded as sacred secrets. It is Intimated that Justices Brown and Field are not entirely satisfied as to certain immaterial features of the law, but should they render a dissenting opinion It will be, according to the best information, restricted to minor phases of the act and not to the validity of the law. There is not a prominent practitioner before the Supreme Court who does not openly and boldly express the opinion that the court will sustain the law. When Attorney-general Olney was arguing the Income tax case for the government during the progress of the recent hearing in the Supreme Court, he suggested that parts of the Income tax law might be declared invalid without affecting the law as a whole, mentioning the income derived from rents and from State, ccunty and municipal fconds which might be excepted by a decision, and a number of lawyers, including members of the, Senate, think it probable that when the decision shall be reached, it will be on these lines. Senator Vest who; as a member of the finance committee, helped to frame the bill, expressed the opinion to-day that such a decision was possible, and Indicated the belief that he thought the income on bonds was in especial danger. Discussing the question, he said that a great many changes had been made in the bill iu the Senate after it was reported from the finance committee which it had been intended to correct in conference. The provision In regard to the taxation of incomes on bonds was one of these, and it would have been stricken ut ir the conference report had ever been considered by the Senate and House, ' and accepted, as such a change was agreed upon by the conferees. Senator Vest was reminded of the charge made bv Mr. Choate in arguing the case in the Supreme Court that some attorney must have secured a big fee- for securing the exemotion of niutual insurance corn-. panies. "Oh," he replied, "that is on a J par wi'.n tne crarges tnat were made about illegitimate influences in coniection with the sugar schedule, and if Mr. Choate wants to make that sort of an argument I have nothing to say. My recollection is that the exemption was suggested by Secretary Carlisle.' He thought it was a proper exemption and I asreed with him and still think it was proper." . Cleveland Invited to Chicago. WASHINGTON, March SO. A committee of prominent citizens of Chicago, most of whom are now in the city, will call on President Cleveland some time next week for the purpose, it is understood, of inviting him to participate in a sound mony demonstration to be held in Chicago some time in the near future. Four members of the committee arrived to-night, viz.: William T. Baker, president -of the Board of Trade; Gen. Georjce W.. Smith, ex-president of the Union League Club: T. W. Harvey, ex-president of the Commercial Club, and Henry S. Robins, a lawyer. David Keltey, a well-known business man. Is also here, and ex-Mayor John A.

" With pleasure I will state that Hood's Sarsaparilla has helped me wonderfully. For several months I could not lie-down to sleep on account of heart trouble and also Prostration of the Nerves. For three years I had been doctoring, but could not get cured. I received relief for while, but not permanent. Soon after beginning to take Hood's Sarsaparilla there was a change for the better. In a short time I was feeling splendidly.- I now rest well and am able to do work of whatever kind. If I had not tried Hood'aSarsapa- -rilla I do not know what would have become of me. I keep it in my house all the time, and other members ot the family take it, and all say there is : Nothing Like Hood's Sarsaparilla. I have highly recommended it and one of my neighbors has commenced taking it. I recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla at every opportunity." Mrs. S. Braddock, 404 Erie Av.,;Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Be sure to get the members of the Baltimore Conference of the M. E. Church South and the ladies accompany them this afternoon. Upwards of one thousand persons took advantage of the opportunity, to take the President's hand, and it occupied forty minutes for the entire line to pass. The Rev.

Philadelphia Times. ! i Madame Melba is an industrious seeker after the coy dollar. Before'the opera season began she organized a concert company of her own, and gave a series of concerts and good concerts they were, too throughout the country. Now, - on these nights when she is not billed to sing with the regular opera company, she takes a train to a near-by city and gives a concert on her own hook and reaps the profits. Even this does not satisfy this tireless worker, for it is now announced that she has taken up the pen and essayed the authorship of an article on the general subject of grand opera. This article will appear in the next issue of Lippincott's Magazine. One thing is to Madame Melba's credit, she has not allowed some one else to write this article, hut has penned it herself. Thif not always the case with articles to which are attached the names of the great operatic stars. An article by Madame Nordica, recently printed in one of the magazines, was written by her, for Nordica writes well. But Plancon has not the gift of writing, so that not long ago when an enterprising young journalist in New York went to the great baritone for "an article" he was met with the argument that Plancon could not write Knglish. The fact of the matter is she cannot even speak it. But the obliging baritone offered to "talk off" his views on singing If the journalist could understand Italian and translate it into English. The younj? New Yorker said he could, so Plancon began. The journalist wrote as fast as he could, and Plancon was interested in seeing- his nimble fingers fairly fly over the manuscript sheets. When Plancon stopped talking " the journalist stopped writing. After the conversation was over the journalist went to hi3 room and wrote an article on the voice, expressing such views as he knew Planeon would naturally express. Then he took his manuscript to Planeon. who gave it to a friend. The friend looked it over and told Plancon that it "sounded very well." Then plancon signed his name to It. It is possible that the article might have contained something which Plancon said; if so it was an accident. For the journalist did not know a word of Italian, and while the great baritone was talking to him he was writing out an account of the last consignment he had '"covered" before he saw the operatic singer.
