Catarrh IS a Wool disease. Cntll the poiso: Is expelled from the system, there raa bo co cure fcr this loathsome snd dangerous malady. Therefore, the only effective treatment i a thorough course ol Ayer's Sarsaparilla the best of all' blood purifiers. The sooner you befill the better ; delay Is dangerous. " I was troubled with catarrh for erer two years. I tried various remedies, and was treated by a number of phynici;ins, but received no benefit until i. bcan to take Ayer'a Sarsaparilla. A. few bottles of this medicine cured ine of this troublesome complaint and completely restored my health.' Jesse iL JJoyys, Holmau'i Mills, 2. C. "When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was recommended to roe for catarrh, I was inclined to doubt its efficacy. Having tried so many remedies, with little benefit, I hal no faith that anything wouid cure me. I becnine emaciated from los of appetite and impaired digestion. I had nearly lost the sense of smell, and Biy system was badly deranged. I was about discouraged, when a friend urpd me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and referred me to persons whom it had curad of catarih. After taking half a doz-tn iottles of this medicine, I am convinced that the only sure way of treating this obstinate disease is through lha lleod."

He supreme court Saturday handed down Its opinions in two important cases. In the case of Gov. Hovey against Joseph L. Carson the decision of the lower court in favor of Carion was sustained, while in the case of the appoicttrcut of the commissioners of the supreme court the lav passed by the late legislature was declared unconstitutional. Upon the latter case the fire judges were unanimous, both upon the opinion rendered ind the argument leading up thereto; but in the Care? n case the judges, while unanimous as to the conclusion reached, differed in the lire of reasoning leading to the opinion. The principal opinion was written by Judge Mitchell, and the others civeti with reference to it. Jml re Mitchell cites the gravity of the case, end thee states that its decision turns in his opinion upon the determination of the onestion as to whether the ireneral assembly is or can be invested with the power of appointment of trustees for the government of the various benevolent institutions a power cliiimed for the legislature by the defendant in the case, but challenged by the plainti.t. lie recites the fact that the legislature has, in the past, alw ays made such appointments, with probably one or two exceptious, when it has. however, directed Low they should be made. It was an error, he said, to assume that the exclusive right of appointment was contained in the general grant of power made to the executive. The power of appointment, while intrinsically an executive act. might be confided to other departments ,( the government, utile- it had been especially conferred upon the executive or inhibited to the other. In fact, however, the power to appoint agencies for the tovernment of the insane hospital was not left to inference, but had been expressly conferred upon the general assembly. The constitution, in explicit terms, enjoined open the legislature the duty to make provision by law for the maintenance of the institution. That body was left absolutely untrnmmeled as to the means it should enipl y. "Trustees lor the ho-pital for the insane," said Judge Mitchell, "are officer lor whose appointment no provision was made in the constitution. They were officers who, according to the method existin? at the time the constitution took eü'ect, were appointed by the general assembly. That was the method then existing, and must therefore be regarded as express authority to the central assembly to use its dcretion iu providing for the appointment of oiiicers such as those here in question." Jud:e Berkshire, in his opinion, among other thines said: "The power to appoint to office is an executive power or function, and is lodged with the executive (which includes the administrative) department of the government, except where the organic law expressly provides otherwise. The legislature may create offices, but has no power to appoint officers except such as relate to the exercise of its legislative functions or power, unless the power so to do is conferred expressly by the constitution, and then it must he exercised within the letter of the constitutional provision; nothing can be taken by implication. There is gome appointing power iven to the legislature in our constitution other than that which relates to the exercise of its legislative power 'all officers w hose appointment i not otherwise provided for in the contittition.' "There were certain ofiicers in existence when the present constitution was adopted that were continual, and no provision is made in the constitution for the election or appointment of the ofiicers to fill the 3ices. The words (now is) in the constitutional provision continued the power in the legislative department to appoint those officers, but gave it no power to appoint others. It pave to the general assembly no power to create an office and name the incumbent. The legislature may provide bylaw for the appointment of all officers not provided for in the constitution, but the appointive power must be lodged somewhere within the executive department of the government." In the opinion of Judge Berkshire the only offices now in existence that existed when the constitution w;is adopted to which the general assembly exercised the power of appointing the incumbents are the state librarian, wardens of the state prisons and trustees of the insane asylums. Judge Cofee said: "I cannot believe that the duty conferred on the general a-siniblr by the constitution, to provide foi the benevolent institution, caries with it the power to appoint ofiicers to mar ae such institutions. It ha such pow-r under the law in force at the time of the adoption of the constitution, unless a different in!s of action was provided for by the constitution iUelf." In the case of the supreme court commissioners the opinion was written by Jude Elliott. It is replete with citations from other courts, and from celebrated lawyers and jurists of England and the United States, showing that the judicial power was one which could not be delegated. The judicial power was invested in courts and not in officers. Courts only could exercise judicial power, courts were composed of judges, aud judges could be elected only by the people or appointed by the governor. The source of judicial power was the constitution and not the legislature, and the constitution would not be evaded by a change in the name of an officer nor the duties of a constitutional officer divided. The supreme court was a constitutional tribunal. It was composed of judges only, for only judjjes eonld constitute a court. In both opinions the "constitutional" point raised by JSecy. of State (iritl'.n, retarding the signature of the acts after they were passed over the governor's veto, was treated as of no consideration, the supreme court holding that ali the proper signatures were attached to the bills. The effect of these decisions on the other "constitutional" cases now before the supreme court does not fuily appear. Whether the other bosrds chosen by the legislature will stand on the same footing as the Carson board is uncertain, all. depend ng on how much weight the court attaches to Judge Berkshire's argument. The legislature only has the right to elect trustees to such boards as were in existence before the present constitution was adopted. Gov. Hovey says h wants to examine this point more closely before deciding what course to pursue regarding the other boards. ' How Kh Got In. Puck. Fit Little Girl "Do you live in a flat?

3IB. CARPENTER GOES FREE

BECAUSE OF ONE OF WOODS' RULINGS The Evidence In the Case Showed Conclusively That Carpenter Was Guilty of Bribery, But He Claims Twas All For Himself. it the conclusion of the trial of Samuel J. Carpenter, in the U. court for bribery, Judge Woods Friday instructed the jury to bring in a verdict for the defendant, which was done without the jurors leaving their seats. The judge based his instructions upon the interpretation which he recently gave to the law relating to these cases namely, that it required of the prosecution evidence that the defendant had bribed voters to vote for congressional candidates, the mere fact of bribery being insufficient to convict in the U. S. court. The evidence that Carpenter had been guilty of. bribery was conclusive. He himself was his worst witness. hen placed ou the stand yesterday morning he injured his own case very materially by his hesitating testimony and his rather wholesale den:al of statements on which the other witnesses in the case had agreed, and which, if admitted, would not have injured his case. With Judsre Nord conducting the direct exainiuation, Carpenter bepan his testimony with a statement as to the time he had been a citizen of Shelby county, and the size of the family of which he was the head. He stated that lie did not drink intoxicating liquor, and that he had been elected senator last fall by a majority of seventy-nine. He denied that he had contributed anything to the county republican campaicn fund, and insisted that he had been very sparing of his means in a canvass in which he had been put forward as a candidate without his own consent. When Mr. Chambers began the cross-examination Carpenter grew evasive in his replies, compelling the prosecutor to frequently appeal to the court to compel the witness to make more direct replies. The prosecutor endeavored to learn of the witness whether or not, when lie was securing the "influence" of several democrats in the county who were opposed to Itay, he was not working for the entire republican ticket. "No, fir, I was not," replied Carpenter. "Did you not act in behalf of the other candidates as well as yourself?" "No; I had all I could do to take care of myself. I don't remember ever having electioneered for another candidate." "You were one of the regular nominees of the republican party, were you not?" "Yes, sir; but I made no effort to get the nomination. It was given die without my consent." "Do you mean to say you did nothing whatever before your party convention met in order to receive the nomination?" "1 do." "Did you not see Mr. Maholm, one of the witnesses here, on the day before the convention?" "Yes, I saw Mr. Maholm, and told him I expected I would be nominated at Greensburg without my consent, and that if they did nominate me 1 wanted to know if he would be for me." , The w itness became mixed up when he testified as to his transactions with Saloonkeeper Doran, saying at first that he did not understand that Doran was to receive anything for expenses in working for him, but afterward contradicting this and saying that Doran demanded that his expenses be paid if he should go out to work. Carpenter's story of bis dealings with young Majors substantiated in the main the testimony of that young man on the previous day, with the exception that the defendant said it was at Majors' suc;estion that the two repaired to a seciuded portion of the livery stable to talk about money matter, and that the young man alto suggested puttinir the money in the feedbox of one of the stalls, whereas Majors testified that these suggestions came from Carpenter. Questioning the witness about this stable transaction, the prosecutor 6aid: "Was there not an ofiice in the stable?" "Yes; I believe there was." ''It was supplied with chairs?" "I suppose it was." "Why didn't you go in there?" "Well, we stopped at the first place we struck." "What, was that one of the stalls?" "No, w e w eren't in the &U11; w e were in the drive-way." "Where up toward the front?" "About half way back." "How did you come to go back there?" "lie suggested it." "What did you say when you got back there?" "Well, Mr. Majors had been helpim? me" "I'm not asking you what Mr. Majors had been doing. 1 want you to tell the jury the conversation that occurred there between you and him." The witness hesitated somewhat, and the court directed him to answer the question as put. "I told him," said the witness, "that I was ready to compensate him for his services to me that I was ready to pay him for it. I made a demonstration as'if to pull out my pocketbook and trive him the money." "Was there no amount mentioned?" "No." "Well, what did you do then?" "He said he'd rather not take the money trom me; he'd rather get it from some third partv." "What did yon sny?" "I said all right." "What did he say?" "He said he would co back further in the stable, and o I just dropped the money into the box at his instance." "Did he come back and get it?" "I suppose he did." "How did he learn it was in the feed-box?" "He intimated by his actions that he would look for it there. I understood what he meant." "How much was it?" 'Twenty-five dollars." .Inde Woods here interrogated the witness: "What reason did the young man (five for not wanting to get the money directly from you?" "He slid he did not want the democrats to know he had received money from a republican." "Was that the only explanation he gave for it?" "Well, he had been a candidate for county superintendent on the democratic ticket, and he said he didn't want the democrats to know what he was dointr." The witness further testified that he on the same day paid iflO (throuch the medium of a feedbox) to C. A. House, a near friend of Majors. The defense sought to prohibit the testimony because the count in the indictment in which House's name was mentioned recited the wrong name. J udie Woods, however, admitted the testimony. House was then put on the stand by the prosecution. He recited the transaction in the stable, which was very similar to the cnsf of Majors. The witness did not want to testify, but was spurred up by the court. "At whose suctjestion did you go back into the stable?" asked the prosecutor. "I do not know; I believe he led the way back." After explaining that he got $10 out of the feed-box, the witness was asked if he did any work for the money and replied that he did not. He bad, however, received through the mail some pasters with Carpenter's name. These, he said, he burned. The attorneys tor the defense appeared incensed at House for his testimony, as they relied upou him to sustain Carpenter. When in the cross-examination House was a little slow in answering a question put to him by Judge Hord the latter said, menacingly, "Think up;" and again, when the witness did not appear to comprehend the import of a question, the Shelby attorney admonished him, "Just think about it." This was the last witness, and Jud? Woods turned to the jury and informed that body that on account of the fact that there was no evidence whatever to show that the defendant had eudeavored to bribe anybody to vote for congressman, be would be compelled to instruct it to return a verdict for the defendant, as the case did not otherwise come tinder the jurisdiction of the federal court. There had been testimony, he said, showing some entirely questionable proceedings on the part of the defendant. The transactions in the livery stable were at the least highly discreditable to every one concerned therein, but it was not within the province of this jury to consider the matter. The court took occasion to refer to the necessity, made manifest by the evidence in the case, for a law making it a criminal offense to nse money in any such manner at the time of his election, whether it was sought to bribe persons or not The jurors in the federal cases were dismissed until Monday, when the election cases will be resumed.

CHEAP CATTLE.

Prices at the Stock-Yards Sale Not Com. mensurnte With the Pedigrees. The fourth annual sale of short-horns by the Marion county short-horn breeders' association began at the Union stock-yards Thursday. The owners of the stock were Bals Lout, Christian & Son and Mr. Folsom, and some very pretty blooded animals were offered. Bayers were present from many parts of the state and quite a number of stockmen from Illinois will take some of the Uoosier bloods to their prairie farms. There seemed to be a fair demand for bulls, the prices paid ranging from $75 to $150, though when the fine bull of Messrs. Bals & Lout, Wild Eyed Lad, whose pedigree was of the highest order, was placed on the block a bid of but $30 could be secured to start with and this w as changed at once by Mr. Christian to $100, Col. LMmundson, the auctioneer, declaring he could not and would not sell him for less. After futile attempts to increase Christian's bid to the auctioneer requested the with drawn) of the bid which was done willingly, though Kdmundson assured the bystanders that Messrs. Bals and Lout were not kicking at the price he did it on his own responsibility. The full brother to the animal was recently sold for This was the most serious cut on prices in the sale of bulls during the day, all the others commanding fair, and some good prices. Some of the finest cows in the state commanded no better prices than ordinary scrub stock; one ltose of Sharon, four years old, whose sire, the Duke of Oneida, sold for $10.000, fetched but K, Mr. Bals paying $i30 ror her when but a calf. A Mr. Light of Scotland, 111., paid $15 for a cow 6ix years old which would drop a calf about May 1. The animal had cost $1S0, and before the hammer went down Mr. Fulsome agreed to pay $30 for the calf at weaning time. Another thoroughbred was sold for $75, Mr. Folsome making the same oiler; thus the cow cost but her feed aud care for a few months at the most. A lively interest was taken by some city butchers, they on two or three occasions buying some of the choicest stock at butchers' prices. More than once Col. Edmonson refused to eutertain bids from them, so discouraging they seemed to the breeders. A most beautiful lot consisting of a cow and her three heifer calves, all of the Hose of Sharon und Highland blood, the property of Messrs. Bals fc Lout, were introduced and sold singly. Of all the stock sold none was the source of deeper interest and livlier bidding than these. The mother was easily disposed of et $'60, but when the oldest child was led forward evidence of competition manifested itself, the chief bidders beiug Hollo way and Miller of Indianapolis. This ended in a sale to Holloway at $130. The Becond was brought forward and with the same results Holloway and Miller both wanting her badly but she was bid in by Holloway at $150. The third now was ushered to the circle, and the same stormy scenes were repeated, with a victory for Mr. Milier at $130. This last animal was pronounced the finest in her line of anything that was oSered. He r pedigree is: Sire, Duke of Sharon, a pure Rose of Sharon, by Airdrie 3d; dam, Rosebud 13th by 4th Duke o'f Geneva, Rosebud 7th by Duke of Airdrie loth; calved Feb. 20, 1S.S8; bred by Rils & Lout. Many others of equally as brilliant pedigree were sold, thouch but few, if any, were ollcred that caused more genuine interest. Among the frequent and highest bidders were Mesrs. Holloway, Miller, Martindale and Alexander from the city, Mr. Licht from Scotland, ill., and Mr. Webber from Imrraham, 111., and Mr. Noland from Shelbyville. lud. Many others from Danville, Pendleton, Cambridge City and other neighboring cities and towns were present. The owners of stock expressed themselves as satisfied with the sale and demand for bulls, but they were extremely disappointed at the further sales. They attribute the low bidding to the fact that breeders are becoming pretty generally supplied having their farms well stocked. The sales will atrgreeate between $-1,000 and $4,000, thoueh, with the proper prices paid for cows ami calves, this amount could have been doubled. DOES HOVEY BREAK FAITH ? Members of the Newly Chosen Hoards Accaatt II 1m of Unfair Iealing. Gov. Hovey was seen nt his parlor in the New-Denison lat night and asked concerning his attitude toward the recent decision of the tupreme court. "I observe, governor, that you are quoted as consenting to issue a commission to Carson as trustee of the insane hospital. Is this correct?" "It is," he returned. "I have no desire to hinder the law." "You are further quoted as saying that there are a number ot persons chosen by the legislature not at ected by the decision the trustees for each of the additional hospitals for the insane, the state geologigt, the mine, oil and gas inspectors, the directors of the prison north, the trustees of the blind asylum, the state board of health and the custodian and enyineer of the state house. Is this your judgment?" "The quotations are correct," said the governor. "That is entirely rny conclusion." It would appear from this that Gov. Hovey does not intend to issue commissions to the trustees of the other institutions until they have secured a favorable ruling from the supreme court. In speaking of this apparent decision of the (rovernor one of the newly elected trustees said Inst nisrht: "If Gov. Hovey withholds our commissions he will be acting in exceeding bad faith. When the Carson cose was taken np, (jov. Hovey agreed with our attorneys that this should be a test case that on it the others should hinge. We therefore chipped in, and helped bear the expense of the case. Now that it has been decided agaiust the governor, he proposes to keep the rest of us out. It in't a fair deal at Mr. Carson is in the city, and will demand his commission as trustee of the insane hospital to-morrow. PLAYED A LONE HAND. A Depot Robbed of Nearly Ten Thousand Pollnr Hy a Single Ilohber. Gallatix, Mo., April 22. One of the boldest railroad robberies ever perpetrated by a single robber in Missouri occurred at Pattousburg. ou the Wabash road, Friday night, and has just leaked out. About 9 o'clock Friday night one masked burglar entered the station at l'attonsburg. He covered the scent, the only person in the station, with a pistol and demanded the key, which he received. He then made the a.'eut occupy a given position and proceeded to plunder the safe. He cleaned it out of everything valuable, securing money estimated at from $(i,OOi to $10,000. Amonir ! the booty was one express package of $3,000, a letter addressed to the lattonsburg bank containing $100, and a number of express packages. He also took all the express, freight and ticket funds aud robbt d the agent of his own money and valuables. The robber then backed out of the station, mounted a horse and rode away. The agent on Saturday notified Superintendent McGeeof the Wabash & Western. Mr. McGee communicated with detectives in St. Louis and a search for the robber was started, which has been without success. DEATH OF A PROMINENT MASON. John 51. Hram well.

THE RESCUED PASSENGERS

FROM THE LOST STEAMER DANMARK Arrive Safely In PhlladelphlA on Board, the Steamship Bllaaourt All Ars Well Save ThreeA Statement From Capt. Hamilton Murrell. Philadelphia, April 22. The steamship Missouri with 365 of the people from the wrecked steamer Danmark arrived at the American line steamship's dock at 6 o'clock this evening. All were well on board with the exception of three persons. All of the Danmark's passengers look hearty and bricht and show no signs of the hardships which they must have necessarily endured. Among those on board from the Danmark were Purser Ilempell; ship's physician, Jespersen; cook, Albert Johnson; stewardess, Mrs. Nelson; baker, John Lunchrist; butcher, Peter Benson; emigrant stewardess, Mrs. Christenansen, and waiter, William Dewalt eight in all. These were the only members of the Danmark's crew who came on board the Missouri. General Passenger Agent John Rath of the Thingvalla line came from New York to make provisions for the comfort of the people from the unfortunate Danmark. He stated that all would be forwarded to their destination from this city if "otij-factory arrangements could be made. Nearly all the emigrauts are bound for points in the West. To-night at 11 o'clock a special train on the Pennsylvania railroad conveyed nearly three hundred of the passengers toward their destination in the west and northwest. The remainder, who were destined for points in the east, also left to-night over the same line. A majority of the west-bound are going to Minnesota, Dakota and other points in that section, while a few go as far as Washington territory. They are accompanied by agents of the Thingvalla line and will be reprovisiooed at Chicago. CapL Murrell will be lionized for the next day or two, as a mark of the esteem in which he is held by those who know hitn, and of his gallantry. To-morrow at noon, by invitation of the Marine exchange, he will hold a public reception at their building, and to-morrow night he will be the honored guest at the annual dinner of the Sons of JSt (leorue. The linal leave-taking between Capt. Murrell and the passengers of the Danmark was affecting. For all thoee who grasped his hand the master had a smile and a kind word of wellwishing. Capt. Hamilton Murrell, the commander of the Missouri, makes the following statement: We left London with a general earjro for cur first trip to Philadelphia, on March 'A We had a fair passage up to 1 :20 p. m. of April 5, when we sighted the teamhi I ) a in irk Urin a distress signal. The wind at that time was blowing stron j from the went. We bore down on the steamer ana found bcr disabled. Capt. Koudeen, her commander, reported that the tail end of hi nhaft was broken, and lie wishod me to take hi pawnsjers to New York. Owing to th f tute of the weather, and because of the fact that I was n t prepared t accommodate such a number of people, I declined to accede to bis request, but ollere l.in-t a 1, to tow his ressel to the nearest port. Tili -will, r Capt. Knudsen accepted, and at :-0 p.in..f r two hours after we first si-liie l tbe Ianmark, we placid a tow-rope n board that vessel an 1 proceeded slowly, turning to the aea and wind and lit a line nor:hwet for M. Johns, N. F, which 1 considered the best port to make under the cirej!iitance.H. Thn wind blew with tremendous force all nipht, and progress was most difficult. On April 3. at 5:3) a. in., fin. line that I could make no na.lwaT in a westerly direction and set in ice to windward,' I decided to abandon my hope of reaching St. Johns and determined to mak'n for 8t. Micha. Is, one of the Az res Islands. I sipnailed my determination to the captain of tbe Ianmnrk. an I be agrefd that this was the best course to pursue, and on hour later we squared away for St. Miehaels. At 7 a. m. the Panmark signalled to lis. "We are leakint: considerably; there now is three feet of water in the alt hold, and it is gamin? rapidly." lacked what 1 should do, and the siitoal cauie, "Ket p on towine" At 9:2la. in. the lanniark ng-iin signalled us. This time the M.nal read: "The lanniark it siukinj'. we must abandon the fhip. Will you take our pavscneers?" Without a moment's hesitation I sicialled b..ek, "Yes, I wil take all on board and do the liest I can." I then cut tho tow line aid we dropped down to the Danmark. Chief OJieer ilen of that vessel came on board t lie Missouri and informed me of tbv condition of his ship. He siid that aHhouyh the weather at th time wai fit.e ( apt. Knudsen ha I decided that for the let interests of those on his ship it would be be-t to abandon her and (retail the peoj.le on board the Missouri while there was plenty f time. At !):30 we laun'-heJ our two life hoits in charge of Second (:her Lucas and Third Otfieer Forsyth, and these two boats proceeded to the Daum ark.' In the meantime seven of the riuking steamer's boats were manned by the crew of that steamer and the work of tran:crTin the pafsenaers bej;an. A heavy well was running during all of this memorable day, making tli work of remorinc the people from the sinking ship ono of cri'at difficulty, and it was only by the hardest kind of work that we were able to aoM accidents, both to the people and to the bouts. '1 he women and children were retuovid first, and after th m the ma'e pascnRers and rrew. The officers of the Danmark remained on btiard thf ir vessel. At 2 p. m. we finished the work of tranxferring the passengers, haring consumed nearly fire hours and getting everybody, with the except. on of the otiieers, rdely on the Missouri without a single accident of any kind. About one hour later the barometer beg-.m' faliinir, tha weather was comtne in thick and looking dirty, and I seut word to Capt. Knudsen and his faithful oiiicers to leave the ship and come on board the Missouri, and after retting Mtmo provisions from tha Danmark, which had now settled very perceptibly in the water, that vessel was finally abandoned, Capt. Knudsen being the lat to leave his ship. I then counted heads and found we had on board, inadiitinn to our own crew of forty-nve men and four passengers, t69 cabin and steerage passengers, ami sixty-nine of the officers and crew of the illfated steamer. After we had taken everybody from the Danmark we pulled the plug out of the bottoms of that veel's boata. which we had used, and left them to sink to the bottom of the Atlantic, and I can't understand how the Minnesota picked up one of these boats six davs later. Our last view of the Danmark showed that vessel to be rapidly going down, her stern being almost even with the sea. and the water was breaking over her. We threw overboard most of onrearjro between decks, consisting principally of hailed rags, in ord r to make r.mm for the accommodation of the large additions to our passenger Lst. tin looking erer onr provisions we fonnd, after a careful estimate of the number of mouths we had to feed, that we bad only enough food on board to last three days, and I decided to make all pos'ible haste to reach the port of 8t. Michaels, wh ch was 720 miles away. The cabin passengers of the D inmaik were given accommodations in the Missouri's passenger cabins ami the oiiicers Rate up their cabins for the use of tbe women and children. On April 7. at I..."!n a. m., about ten hours after the transfer was made. Mrs. Linnie. aged eighteen years, a Danish woman who was on the way to America to meet her hu-band. (rtve nirth to a child, a pirl. in my cabin. The little atrsner was christened Atlantic Missouri. The child was born during a howling storm, which rocked the vessel and caused the ses to break over us. We had started for St. Michaels with all on board at 5 p. m. of the f.th. The weather was very threatening at that time and the wind increased in violence as the nicht wore on. Everything possible was done to make the passengers comfortable. Awnings and sails were brought out and used as a partial rro ection to the panic-stricken emigrants, who for the first time showed sig'is of fear. All through the trying times w hich had preceded this storm they acted admirably. The gale kept increasing in fury and there wssa tremendous sea running, which was continually breaking c-er the vesel, and taken altogether, things looked üubions. It must be rememler. d that we were vegy short of provisions and tliis storm at the veay outlet of our journey toward M Micheal made tue fearful of reaching that port safely. Uy daylight of April 8, however, the gale had mateiially decreased and we were able to make fine progress. The 9th went by without incident, and at Ü:3;i a. m. Of April 10 we arrived nt M. Michaels. On April 11 at 11 a. m. we landed 37(iof the passengvnsund crew of this Danmark, including i apt. Knudscn. at at. Michae's. In dividing np our load we kept on board the Missouri the families, endeavoring as far as possible to leave the single men and those not having children at M. Michaels. At 8 p. m. of the same day, we sailed from St. Michaels w-ith 365 people from the Danmark, including eight of tha crew of that vessel who were allowed to come with us. We had fine weather all the way to Philadelphia and a remarkably small amount of sickness on board, considering the crowded condition of our boats. We hare now three caes in the hospital Carl Jensen, a Norweigiau bound for the West, who has a erere carbuncle on his face; a baby ill with pneumonia, and a Scandinavian who has some trilling ailment. All the officers ch"erfnlly gav up their quarters for the use of the women and children, and the best of good nature has prevailed the entire trip. We had .le itv to eat on the voyjign from tt, Michaels here, having taken ou a supply at that place amply sufficient to last us. - Organizing a Salt Syndicate. Toledo, April 22.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Children's Day mt the White House Mr. Durham's Resignation. Washington, April 2?. Easter Monday is known as children's day at tbe white house and in the spacious grounds surrounding it Today the infantile boomers, in imitation of their adult prototypes who are crossing the border into the promised land of Oklahoma, swarmed into the white house prounds, made their locations on the grassy knolls and proceeded to the joyous occupation of rolling brlliantly dyed Easter epgs. The merry laughter of hundred; of children rant; in the ear, and the pretty costumes of mothers and maids who came to keep a watchful eye over their rollicking youngsters rendered the scene an attractive one, and one which the occupants of the executive mansion frequently appeared at the windows to admire. The merriment and pleasure of the occasion was enhanced by an order issued by Secy.Tracy requiring the Marine band to furnish music for the little ones during the afternoon, and many impromptu dances were indulged in. The president was "not at home" to peneral callers to-day. Atty. Gen. Miller was the only person admitted to his presence during the torenoon. The usual tri-weekly reception to the public was held iu the east room in the afternoon, and the crowd there was augmented by the merry bands of children who ceased their play on the lawn to go in and shake hands with the president. MR. DURNAM'S RESIGNATION Accepted By ieey. AYindom To Take Effect nt Ouce. WASniXGTOX, April 22. First Comptroller Durham severed his connection with the treasury department to-day. He tendered his resignation on the change of administration and it was accepted by Secy. Windom to-day to take eflect at once. There are Feveral explanations for this action. The one generally accepted by those who are supposed to be acquainted with the inside facts is that the first comptroller has taken a position iu several official matters entirely at variance with the views of the present administration. The immediate cause of the chance in due to a personal misunderstanding between Atty.-Gcn. Miller and First Comptroller Durham in regard to the cceouuts of Mr. John I. Davenport as mperviser cf elections in New York. The latter recently presented vouchers avcrreatincr f'l.L'OO for ''e.traordinary expenses'' incurred durin the last presidential election. These were bei nj examined by the first comptroller, and he signified his intention to disallow them. He had several conferences with the attorney-ceneral on the subject, which resulted in an open rupture between the two officials, so much so that the first comptroller, on Friday, ignored two requests from the attorney-general's oflice. The Davenport accounts were then taken out of bis hands and turned over to the attorney-ceneral, where they now are. Secy. Window said this afternoon that he had accepted Mr. Durham's resicuation in the ordinary course of business, not because of any fault with the latter' official conduct, but because of several newspaper articles reflecting upon the administration, which are said to have been inspired by the first comptroller. The attributed sentiments to the tirst comptroller, if tru' must have made it unpleasant lor him to coutiuue in oflice under existing circumstances. THE PUBLIC PRINTER. Intimation That Uussell Harrison May Re Delaying the Appointment. lldena (Mont.) Special. There is a well authenticated rumor that Russell Harrison has more to do with the nonappointment of a trovernment printer than the general public knows. It seems that the action of the Helena typographical union in not allowing daily papers to use reading matter plates has induced Mr. Harrison to approach certain aspirants for the place now at Washington, who are also members of the typographical union, and by promises to them of tendering his influence in their hehatf, induced them to endeavor to have the Helena union rescind its action. It is said that some, or all, of these aspirants have communicated with the Helena union, giving it to understand that the appointment of a government printer is delayed because of its stand on the plate question, and that if it will rescind its action a union man will be appointed. If the Helena union does not coucede this point to Mr. Harrison, the intimation is given that a man of non-union sentiments will receive the oilice. It is also said that if the local printers do not coincide with Mr. Harrison, the position of government printer will be kept open until the meeting of the International Typographical in June, when the men who are utter the office will endeavor to have that body either take the privilege of deciding on that question out of the hands of local unions or aliow their unrestricted use in all offices. REID'S CONFIRMATION. A Queer Uit of KxecutiT Session Gossip Concerning How It Was Hone. Washington, April 17. Special. A queer bit of executive session gossip, connected with the confirmation of Whitelaw Heid, editor of the New Y ork Tribune, is floating about here. It is said that Re id was only confirmed, after a long and lively executive session, by a majority of one vote, or one more than is required to confirm, and that this vote was furnished by the democratic Senator Hearst of California upon the strength of a distinct pledge that Radbourne, the present consul-general at Paris, should be retained. It is not explained why Hearst was so much interested in iLidbourne. The story of the deal was obtained by the correspondent of the New York World and sent to that journal, but strangely enough, it declined the choice morsel. In newspaper circles it is supposed that the reason the World refused to print the story was a social one. Mr. Pulitzer of the 11 'orii is now in Paris with his wife and expects to remain there some time. It is known tiiat they are consumed by an ambition to shine in fashionable circles. If the World had made the deal by which Reid escaped rejection, he would probably have felt aggrieved, and Mr. Pulitzer and wife could not have expected to receive those attentions from him as minister to France, and those social introductions they crave so eagerly. It is said that all the New York newspapers had the story, but declined to ue it out of "journalistio courtesy toward Reid."

A CANE FOR NEW. The "Journal's" Printers Glre the Colonel a Walking Stick. Col. John C. New. the new consul general to London, was treated to quite a surprise last night. The colonel is in the habit of going to his office about 8 o'clock every evening and spending two or three hours in looking over tbe papers and attending to duties of a light nature. Last evening, shortly after taking a comfortable seat in the editorial room, wlio should march in by twos but the entire typographical force, headed by C. L. Divine, foreman, and Frank Eckert, assistant foreman. Mr. Eckert made a short speech in which he voiced the feelings of the printers employed on the paper, hoping that the colonel would have a prosperous journey and happy sojourn abroad. Mr. Deviue then presented to the colonel an elegant gold-headed ebony cane with crutch bundle, on which was engraved "Hon. John C. New, presented by Indianapolis Journal Union Printers, 18S0." This token of esteem was entirely unexpected by Col. New, and for a few moments lie was quiet overcome, evincing considerable emotion. After be bad recovered his voice somewhat he said in reply that he was deeply affected by the gift, but that the printers must not judge of their own merits too lightly, that much of the success of the paper was lue to the mechanical presentability which they gave to the appearance of the paper by their skilled lalor. However valuable might be the services of editors and reporters, still at last to the printer was due the greatest success of the newspaper. THE REFORM SCHOOL Supt.
