The detectives had a knowledge of the attempted robbery, and were ii waiting in an adjoining room at the time ol their arrival.

Washington, March (V—The unanimooi verdict on the inaugurstioo Is that It wai thu most brilliant and successful occasion of the kind in the history of theffovernment. Nature did all in her power, fry furnishing a lovely day, to contribute to the raooees of the occasion. The multitude which faced President Cleveland when he delivered his inaugural address was probably the largest gathering of human beings ever-collected in oae spot. Some estimate the number at 100,000, while fully a quarter of a million of people flanked the procession. There were no mishaps and not a speck of trouble to mar the universal joyousness of the day.

Station D, Hew York. Niw York, March The Washington correspondent at The Times savs: The favorable impression by President Cleveland by his dignified and manly bearing during the inaugural ceremonies, as well as by the well-considered and direct and simple speech in which he addressed the vast audience in front of the capital, appears to be strengthened rather impaired. Thousands of persons paid their respects to him at the White House. Thsy found him easily accessible, glad to be welcomed his new of'floe, unrestrained In bis conversation about public matters. Hjs first message to the M,nfrr conveying the cabinet nomination,, Tid been Seated, and created no sensation. Those Democrats who had hoped the president would not give New York undue representation in the cabinet by selecting two of the minister# from his own state were disappointed, but their disappointment has not yet made itself known by bitter or hostile criticism. Friend* of ties president have explained that Mr. Whitney's appointment was important to the success of Mr. Cleveland's plans as an administrative reform president, although the explanations offered do not make the necessity very plain. For Iliddleberger, the senator from Virginia, who for a brief day has himself conspicuous by opposing immediate confirmation of the cabinet, nothing is heard but well deserved derision. T.ilre tho extinct * 'Richelieu" Robinson and the fiery Flnerty, Mr. Riddleberger is opposed to denunciation of dynamite methods of revolution, and be based his opposition to eonfirmation solely upon Mr. Bayard's recent action 'in the senate against the dynamiters in Tgngi«id The people who think of senators as men of superior stamp,_ of conservative views, bright character, k , strict courtesy, the course of Mr. Riddleberger in standing In the new president's way merely creates an erroneous impression. Mr. Riddleberger probably had no plan, as he has no deep convictions. He is a rather indolent, fairly bright, but aimless man; a senator by fortunate circumstances rather than through superior ability, and he wiU probably go on winning all his notoriety in tho senate by just such puerile performances. He may, by holding the floor, as he dlff when he opposed the confirmation of Secretary McCullooh, fill the eui of tl1b senators for wo or three days with rather loose Virginia eloquence, from the necessity of reading which the public will be shielded by the cover of executive session secrecy. When he has talked himself out, it is probable that the cabinet will be confirmed by the votes of all the senators exoept one. It is not likely that the president will send any nominations to the senate until after the cabinet has been confirmed and has met to consider Mr. Cleveland's suggestions as to the men to be selected to fill the important foreign missions. While active work is being Sone for several prominent men, it Is believed that no opposition can prevent the appointment of ex-Senator Pendleton to France. Ex-Mayor Edward Cooper is still talked of for the English mission, and the name of Gen.

Grant so far as freedom from pain was concerned. From the time he retired Wednesday night he slept almost without a -break in hjs rest until 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Then he sat up in bed until 11 o'clock listening to bis son, Col. Fred Grant, read The World's account of President Cleveland's inauguration ceremonies CoL Fred Grant said to a friend that the passage of the retirement bill by oongress on Wednesday had cheeeed his father np wonderfully. All day yesterday the general kept receiving congratulatory telegrams from his friends. His pay as a retired general will be #18,500 per year. Dr. Doaglas called on his patient at 2 o'clock, and after the usual examination told him he might take another drive. Gen. Grant, wHh Ids son, CoL Fred, accordingly took a quiet jaunt through the park roads in the pleasant spring sunshine for an hour, and came home looking quite improved. The Medical Record contains the following: Lowdon, March 0.—The question of peace or war between England and Russia is the most prominent topic in political and military circles here. Opinions differ as to the feasibility of either power making Afghanistan a field of battle, and an idea is prevalent that I ho terrible difficultly cf th-D cotintry, from a military point of view, will prove fo be ■"!- vantogeous to the power which firJt jfels a foothold. The Cable News correspondent visited the two legations in London which are most potent and most interested in the present crisis. At the Russian cmbassy the diplomats ridiculed the idea of a war. A veteran secretary who is very close to Paron Von Mohrenhpim, said: "Suppose there, is a skirmfch between outposts. That is not a casus belli. The Russian troops are only helping the Turcomans to find salt wells and graaing lands. Hie English have an accomplished general and an escort near the Afghan frontier, but they are only a surveying party. Supr-we the Afghans surprise the Russians some night or the Russians surprise the Afghans, no British blood will be spilled. Gen. Sir Peter Lumsden is too sensible a commander to endanger his men when he is merely making a scientific reconnaisance. You may take my word for it that a settlement of this apparent trouble between Bngland and Russia is not only probable but certain." J. B. Patteraon * Go. A «h respondent was informed through Judge Dtrndy, of the United States court, who had just returned from Linooln, that on the evening of the robbrry the governor visited the sheriff at midnight and endeavored to secure the release of the captured robber. The sheriff refusing to accede to bil demands, he obtained that night an order from one of the judicial officials for his release on bail. Failing to secure the necessary amount, he gave his personal bond, and the robber waa set free. The wrong man, it is said, was captured, it having been intended that Maguire should escape through a window, which had previously been opened in the treasurer's office, and through which one robber got away. Capt Palmer, an insurance man of Flattymouth, said that ha was in the treasurer') office on Thursday last and noticed an opened window—an unusual thing for a cold day. He was several times pressed to remain a while longer. He now believes he was wanted as a witness, as the officials were then expecting to be robbed. The motive for the preconcerted robbery is unknown, but it is thought there was a deficit in the state treasury, which might be thus easily covered up. Immediately after the robbery Gov. Dawes sent a message to the legislature, then in session, which resulted in a special appropriation of 91,500 in favor of the detectives who were in waiting for the robbers.

The New "York County Democracy, over 1,000 strong, marched through the principal streets, and were greeted enthusiastically everywhere. Congressman Muller and several other prominent public gentlemen accompanied themj» the Pennsylvania depot, where they boarded • special train en route for borne. President Cleveland devoted the day to his callers. At 2 o'clock, when Informed that the executive mansion was surrounded by strangers and sightseers who were excluded from the building, he directed that the doors be opened, and expressed his willingness to receive all who called. The orders were complied with, and taking a position in the east room the president shook hands with hundreds of people. The stream of callers continued until the president retired to dinner. The Duckworth club, of Cincinnati, ther County Democracy of New York and many other organizations were among those received. A detective found the couple living together as happily as turtle doves in West Jefi ferson street.

It is fair to state that the facts nt that time presented by The Medical Record were founded on the best of authority, that of Dr. Fordyce Barker, the attending physician of Gen. Grant, and this explanation is manifest in the following note: ALMOST ANOTHER HORROR.

The officials, with the aid of some of the inmates and neighbors, overcame the fire with the hose furnished for the buildtag.At the German embassy very different views were expressed. Count Von Munster was inaccessible, but two of the secretaries who were seen by a Cable News correspondent expressed the belief that a war betweeg Russia and England was almost unavoidable. They spoke of an approaching war as almost a certainty, and scarcely concealed their delight at the prospect, (hie of them said: "Of course, it is nothing to us, bat while England is sending her best troops to Egypt or India she is leaving her home forces in the condition of very bare skeletons. Then as to the feeding and transporting of these brave armies there seem to be some difficulties to be encountered. Man cannot be sustained in, deserts by promises, and there will be more deaths by disease than by spear thrusts."

Scottsviix*, Va., March 8.—Melville Barnett, aged 7 years, living near here, was found dead in an outhouse a few days ago, and from the fact that a circus had been recently in the neighborhood and that he had been practising various feats with a rope suspended from a rafter, it was thought that he had accidentally killed himself by falling.

This disease, the name of which is now perhaps heard of by the general pubHc for the first time, assumes an importance as to "j which it could never otherwise obtaU. Consequently the daily papers are educating the people with regard to it so that the terms epithelioma, malignancy and infiltration will be as well understood as in farmer times were those of suppuration, pus-track and bullet-cysts. As might have been anticipated under the circumstances, the published reports of thi general's condition are very much exaggerated. The disease is toy no means as extensive as is generally believed. In fact, the ulcerations, small in extent, are limited to the right pillars of the fauces, the anterior one being perforated at its base. The adjoinin; right ride of the root of the tongue is indurated to a slight extent, as-is also a neighboring gland under ttys angle of the jaw on the riVht side of the neck. The roof of the mouth, along the line of the hard palate and to the right of the median line, contains three small warty-like excrescences which show a tendency towards cell-proliferation.

Boston, March A.—About. SO years ago Mrs. Abigail Gardner was convicted of the murder of her husband, in Hingham, and sentenced to life imprisonment She refused to acknowledge the crime, and her motive for its commission could not be divined. Mrs. Gardner is now 77 years old. She is an inmate of the house of correction in New Bedford. A few days ago she sent for the Rev. Mr. Coe, the chaplain of the Institution, and made a confession to him that she had poisoned her husband with arsenic.* As Jo motives, she could account for none, but simply reiterated that a demon seemed to urge her on until the murder was committed. Her husband, she says, was a kind man, and she never could oomplain of bis treatment of her. to tub pkoplk or Pittston and Vicinity. We give the Dames of a few of the many persons using the "CARTON" FTTRNAOK In this vicinity: "Although the induration of the tongue has existed more or lees since last fall, when the patient was first seen by Dr. Douglas, the ulcerations have appeared quite recently. It was during their progress that the general suffered from pain in the right ear, which now hns been entirely relieved by the local application of a four per cent, solution of cocaine. Under the same treatment all pain in deglutition is now entirely controlled, and the patient is kept in a very comfortable state. The pulse, which is normally 60 per minute, occasionally reaches 80 beata. 11m bodily temperature is normal. The appetite is fair, which is saying everything in its favor, as the general is not a hearty cater. His bodily condition is, however, much below par, and la more to be considered at present than the local disease. The treatment of the case has been judiciously conservative from the start. The fluid extract of coca is administered internally, and iodoform is dusted upon the ulcerations. Contrary to the general impression, the tongue itself is not ulcerated, nor has it been, as far as we can learn, at any time during the progress of the disease. The troublesome tooth said to have been extracted far the result of lingual ulceration was on the opposite or Lound side of the mouth, and was removed to relieve a persistent ache of the left ear." Washington, March 6.—The new cabinet is freely discussed. In official circles and among government employs it is regarded with favor and looked upon as insuring a sincere enforcement of civil service reform ideas and the transaction of departmental business on a sound basis. Senator Bayard's selection is the only one which entirely escapes unfavorable criticism, and Senator Lamar's is that upon which the severe comments are made. Many persons, among whom are some of his friends, believed him to be physically incompetent for the performance of the arduous duties of secretary of the interior. Qaneral criticisms are mainly on geographical selecions, and the northwest and west are the regions from which complaints are most numerous, although New Jersey and Connecticut regard with jealousy the distinction conferred upon Massachusetts. Among Democrats in Washington the new cabinet cannot be said to be entirely satisfactory. Criticism* on ttio New Cabinet.
