Nkw York, Maroh ST.—Minnie Bchaefsr m a witness yesterday at the impeachment trial of Keeper I*verty, of the Trenton, If. J., state prison. Her mother sat by her side holding the new born babe, the paternity of which she swear* upon Mr. La verty. She was palo, her eyes were sunken and she gave evidence of recent suffering. She wept during the recital of her story and gave a very CHrcun*tantlal account at her ruin by Laverte, swearing that he promised to give hep $1,000, and to have rooms fitted hp for her in New York as sooo as he procured her pardon. After hor re-* lease from prison she wrote to Mr. Lavorty, asking him to redeem bis promise, an. I she received two days later a letter containing ISO. It came postmarked from Jersey City, with a blank piece of paper around the money. The envelope was produced, and it was in Mr. Larrerty's handwriting. Minnie further swore that Mr. La verty tiled to have her accuse William H. Bennett of the crime. Bennett is now postmaster at Long Branch. During the trial the keeper remains almost immovable In his chair most of the time. Occasionally he toys with a cane or his eye glasses, but his oountenance never changes, whether the evidenoe is for or against him. Indeed, he Ja the only oae in the court room who shows absolutely no interest in what is going on. Usually his face is turned from the witness stand towards his counsel. Once Mf«. Schaefer was asked if Patrick H. Lavorty was the defendant- present in court. He immediately turned about and faced her directly. Their eyes met momentarily and hers dropped first. Chicago, March 27.—William H. WC*t, the negro minstrel, appeared in Judge Sheptrd's court and proceeded to tell all about tits troubles with his wue, Fay Templeton, [ram whom ha sought a divorce. "I married my Wife," said he, "In Nashville, Tenn., May 80, 188a Miss Templeton was then k dramatic artist, but before I would consent to marry her I exacted the promise that she leave the stage. We lived in Nashville one week, when my minstrel company came back north and my wife rejoined me in New York about June 15, 1883, and renounced her position in her father's company. Whep we reached Chicago we put up at the Tremont house. We had been here about two weolcs when one evening Mrs. West startled me by saying: 'Well, Billy, I think I shall go back to New York.' I asked her what tbe trouble was. 'Oh,' said she, 'I don't think I can stay away from the stage; married lift's all well enough for a little while, but you soon get tired of it' 'Well,' said I, 'if you feel that way go, and God bless you.'

A Proposition to bo Presented to Jay Go aid to Arbitrate the Points at Issue. Not Organised to Promote or Shield THE MUGWUMPS SAT UPON New Yobk, March 27.—A Washington dispatch to The New York Btar says there is no doubt that the recent outbreaks of violence at the south are giving leadem great concern. Thus far nothing approaching a justification of t.-.e Carrolltonmassacre has been furnished. The Times-Democrat of New Orleans denounces it in unmeasured terms, but The Picayune of the same place excuses it on the ground that one of the murdered negroes wag "a very dangerous man," a "brutal ruffian," etc., etc. "The v.'orst of this sort of business," said a Democratic congressman to a correspondent yesterday, "is the unwillingness of tha southera people to recognize the existence of lawlessness and to develop a public sentiment in its condemnation. What could be more absurd than an attempt to justify that appalling butchery by setting up the plea that the negro Brown was dangerous. There is nothing to show that he was  of the sort; but even if there were, 1 don't see how that would condone the invasion of |ha court house by a mob of masked men, and the shooting down in cold blood of fifteen or twenty colored men who had coinlotted no offense, and who could not, by the wildest flight of imagination, be called dangerous. I tell you, sir, the northern people cannot be made to believe that it is necessary to massacre negroes by wholesale, or that it is either sincere or prudent on tha part of southerners to ignore such outrages when they occur. I see southern newspapers constantly engaged iu retorting on us that there is more crime north than south. That proves nothing. There are more people north, so it is quite natural there should be more crime. But-snurder with us is the act of individuals, ijot of organization: and murder with us is always punished by the courts and stigmatized by public opinion. Who ever heard of whits men being punished in the south for killing negroes? Who ever heard of men notoriously in collusion with organized violence being outlawed by society in consequence! "Now I have traveled a great deal in the south, and I know that nothing could be •more unjust than a condemnation of the southern people in general as participating in, or even sympathizing with these appalling acta. But they are too careless. They Harry their pride too far. They take 110 pains, to draw a line between the law abiding and the lawless. They cannot understand why northern people include the whole region in their avoidance and suspicion, and they bitterly resent being brought into the general indictment. Wrong Doings. New York, March 27.—There was a session of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor at the As tor home, last night, at which were present llo.i i s T. V. Powderly, Frederick Turuur, J. W. Hayos and W. H. Bailey. The following statement was given to the press: "If Mr. Irons made uso of the statement attributed to him in last evening's dispatches that the strike would extend throughout the whole United States, and that not only the railroad employes would he called out, but the order would go out to all Knights of Labor in this country regardless of occupation, he certainly exceeded his authority. He has no power to call out any more than are now out, and not another move must be made without the consent of the goneral executive board, now in session. The power of Mr. Irons does not extend beyond District assembly 101. This strike originated iu that district, and the executive board was never notified of any grievances in that district until the strike had been in progress several days, and then no official notice was received until we called for It We wore not asked to interfere, nor have we been asked for assistance. Districts 17 and 93 are cooperating with District 101. They acted an their own responsibility and not at the 00mmand or order of Mr. Irons, who has no jurisdiction beyond his own district The Closing Debate la the Senate Battle Over Seasons For Bemorals. The second resolution denouncing the refusal of the attorney general to send to the senate the papers called for as a violation of his official duties, etc., was then read and adopted by the same vote—89 to 96. DM Edmunds Resolutions Finally Passed by » Party Tote—Incalls Don Mot Relieve In "Half and Hair* Polities— The Fiery Eloquence of tlie Western Orator Filled the Senate Chamber. The third resolution declaring it to be the duty of the senate to refuse to "advise and consent" in case of refusal by the heads of departments to furnish information was then read. Washington, March 97.—When the change of administration was decided upon, that implied a change of agencies through which the administration might be made effectual Unless the president of the United States was to be a mummy, swathed in clothes that would render him absolutely ineffectual of vital functions, he must have Mr. Gray made the point of order that the resolution dealt with matters pertaining to executive business, and was not proper matter to consider in open session, being substantially the same as the amendment of the senator from Nebraska. The president pro tem. (Mr. 8herman) overruled the point of order. Mr. Gray appealed from the deoision of the chair, and a long debate followed, dui-ing which Messrs. Morgan and Blackburn made strong arguments that there was no material difference lietween the amendment by tbe senator from Nebraska and the third clause of the committee's resolution and that if one was ruled out both should be.

I have seen her several times and asked her to live with me, but she always said she liked tho stage better." have powers commensurate with his duties. After the election the Democrats expected to get in and the Republicans to get out But • new Genesis had come about of late years—a class of practical philosophers who believed that non-partisanship was a panacea for all the evils that afflicted the republic—men who decried the operation of the "American" system,, as they called it. This new party had been recruited from the Republican party. If there was any genuine civil service reformer who had deserted the ranks of the Democracy history did not record his name. Continuing, Mr. Ingalls said the neuter gender was not popular either in nature or science, "Male and female created He them," but there was West's lawyers read depositions by George FL Primrose and George Thatcher, who substantiated his testimony of Fay's flight The lawyer said that he had served the defendant with personal notice of tho suit and she bad laughed and said she shouldn't offer *ny opposition. "I guess that is sufficient evidence," said the judge, and Mr. West took up his hat a iivorced man in fifteen minutes after bis entrance in the court room. At the conclusion of the debate Mr. Gray's appeal was tabled. Mr. Brown moved, but the senate refused by a party vote, to the tbird resolution. "That la the man," aha said, an angry look taking the place of the quiet smile that had before lighted dp her countenance. A FATHER'S FOOLISH DEVICE. "This strike has extended tar enough, and must be settled where it is. The statement that the strike is for the recognition of tha Knights of Labor as an organization is erroneous, and is against our advice a»d counsel. That the men out then have grievances and cause for complaint we believe to be true, but whether true or not, no harm can come of an investigation. The men are anxious for it, and we cannot see why Mr. Hoxie should fear it. The third resolution was then adopted by a vote of 80 against 29, the only changes from the furmer vote being that Messrs. Mitchell, Riddleberger and Vanwyclt, (Ore.), voted with the minority. He Cured. Bis Daughter of Might Wan- dering. MANNING'S CONDITION. New York, March 27.—It was reported three weeks ago in Plainfield that (lebecca Richards, a girl of 15 years, had been assaulted in the vicinity of her father's house by two strangers who waylaid her in a lonely part of the road. She said they were young and rather well dressed men, and that one of them knocked her down and the other choked her. She then became unconsclons and did sot know what happened until she recovered in her father's bouse. A search was made for the culprits without success, and the matter was a profound mystery until yesterday, when It leaked out that the assault was a levice arranged by her father and uricle to her of wandering around after dark. IB • Critical Stat* and the Crista Met A third six, Mr. Morgan offered as an additional clause the resolutions of the committee. A resolution the effect of which was that the removal on the proposition to remove honorably discharged soldiers—otherwise qualified for the public service—was contrary to the spirit of section 1,754 of the Revised Statutes. Upon this resolution there was but one negative vote, that of Mr. Morgan, who waived it Mr. Morgan then moved an additional resolution, which provided that nothing contained in the foregoing resolutions should be construed to render the attorney general liabie to impeachment.

If that "sex" be called sex which had noneresulting sometimes from the cruel caprice of nature at .others from accident or malevolent design—possessing the vices of both and the virtues of either to beget or to bear—[KBsessing neither fecundity nor vi ' ty—endowed with the contempt of men anu C ierlsion of women—doomed to sterility, isolation and extinction. "But," said the senator, "they have two function; they sing falsetto (great merriment) and they are usually selected as the guardians of the seraglios of oriental despots." To come from figure to fact, this third party had distinguished itself by singing in falsetto braaeg of civil service reform and had been selected aa the Washington, March 87.—Mr. James H. Manning, the son of Secretary Manning, thoroughly realizes the critical condition of his father, and says the family are hoping that he may be kept quiet until the crisis is passed. He feels convinced that it is only by keeping the patient perfectly quiet and hit mind at rest that a seoond attack, similar to the one of Tuesday last, can be adverted. There has been an almost steady stream o( callers inquiring about the secretary's condition, and scores of dispatches of sympathy and inquiry have been received from Now York and elsewhere. "We are in favor of settling this matter now, and will submit this proposition to Mr. Gould to-morrow. Let him appoint a committee of three; we will appoint a similar committee;-let these gentlemen select a seventh, they to investigate the whole affair and make recommendations, and we will «gree to abide by their decision. We will not ask for the recommendation of any man who has been guilty of any act of violence to either individuals or property, for we are not organized to either promote or shield wrongdoing." ►  The senate then, at 9:30 p. m., adjourned till Monday. It is said they preceded her down the rood in disguise, and waited for her in the woods, from which they sprang upon her as she was passing. They dragged her into the woods, it is said, and there they found that she had become unconscious with fright They then carried her home, but she l&a been in a dazed state of mind almost constantly ever since. She jumps and screams with fright at every unusual noise, and it is deemed doubtful that she will ever recover her former health. Her father and uncle to bo very much depressed and heartily ashamed of their attempt to correct her way ward habits. The secretary's physicians admit that his condition is critical, and must continue so for some time, but that the absence at symptom* of a renewed attack afford reason to hope for the best The secretary spent the night easily, and slight signs of improvement were noted. At noon yesterday it was stated that there bad virtually bean no cbaag* in the secretary's condition, The impression at the treasury department is that Mr. Manning is unlikely aver to resume the duties of its management At a late hour last evening the condition of the patient was certainly no man favorable than it was twenty-four hours after hit attack, and little Afferent from what it wai when a phyililsn Ijis first summoned. A temporary Improvement hasjww disappeared, and while there is still a poiribility of his it is not expected, and hii physicians would not be surprised if the illness terminates fatally. STOLE HIS FATHER'S WIFE, of the national government. Continuing, Senator Ingalls said he was not there .to impugn the good faith, patriotism, or many extraordinary qualities of President Cleveland. "The sphinx of American politics." Whether Grover Cleveland was a veryjpeat or a very small man his career foQbade any other eonclusion than that he was a very exitraordinary man. Grover Cleveland, the •mail who, at the mature age of 35, abandoned .an honored profession that he might become sheriff of an interior county, was elected as .the Democratic candidate for the presidency, Dand when a year ago he took the oath of office at the Capitol he encountered an audience not one-twentieth of whom had ever seen him and the greater part did not even know him by name two years before. GUARDIAN or THE CONSCIENCE Ab Eloping Couple End Their Sorrows EFFECTS OF THE 8TRIKE. In Heath. Connecticut Manufacturers TmI the In- Indianapolis, March 27.—Some time last Ml Mrs. Kate Dawson, who had been a domestic in the family of Thomas Dawson, an elderly and wealthy farmer of this county, and by him married, eloped with her stepson, Oscar, a man 80 years old, who lived with his father. The couple were foypd living together in this city and Were arrested for adultery. The old man attempted to force a divorce, but the wife wanted alimony. The husband and wife were reunited and went back to the fuin, but after a little time the wife again disappeared, it was supposed with the son. The husband was granted a divorce last week, but the court gave Mrs. Dawson alimony of C1,000. Upon obtaining this money she deposited it in Fletcher & Churciupan's bank, and it was reported that she and her stepson, with whom she had eloped, would go to California. The money was garnisheed on last Monday, however, by W. F. A. Berahamer, her lawyer, to secure a claim for legal services which he placed at C533. Watehbury, March 37.—The effects of the western railroad strikes are becoming very seHous for the manufacturing Interests throughout the Naugatuck valley. Materials, both in the rough and manufactured, are on the cars sidetracked in such quantities that supply and demand have both diminished. Disastrously to some concerns it will be at this critical moment unless something is done speedily. At the same time meat dealers report that they have lost heavily on goods previously ordered but not sent through, and that they have difficulty in getting anything from the west. Prices on such provisions are already .Jing up, so that on the whole laboring men, including Knights of Labor as well as every other class of people, are having a hard time. Said one manufacturer: "The effect 1s much greater than one would imagine, and I (ear the final results. We can do nothing without brass, and that all comes from the west" fluence From the West. "Those who are familiar with the facts know that in most parts of the south such crimes as that of Carrollton, Miss., would be is impossible as here in Washington city; that the people are peaceable, law loving and progressive, and the sanctity of life and property as absolute as human nature will permit. But the outside world cannot enter into these distinctions. Circumstances have made of the whole south one compact and homogeneous community so far as concerns the judgment of the country, and the country holds it responsibe in bulk and will continue to do so until these conditions change. WHITE LABORERS IN PANAMA. rhe United States Asked to Come to Washington, March 27. — Secretary of State Bayard has received from Mr. Adamson, consul general at Panama, a dispatch in the nature of a warning to laborers in the United States to whom inducement are offered to go to Colon for employment in the Panama canal Mr. Adamson states that in November last a contractor visited New Orleans and made arrangements for shipping men from that port to Colon. Several hundred have already arrived. They have commenced to beseige the consulate general with their grievances. They were promised work which is not given them at a wage which they oould not earn and live, because white men cannot itand pick and shovel work in the sun and rain of the isthmus. The chances are the men would die before the bi-monthly payday arrived. They were promised shelter, which was not provided, and when they sicken the ixmtractors and canal company will disclaim my responsibility. Their Belief. TBI RISK Or HAPOLE0N win HAnling Many others had sprung from obscurity to fame, but no illustration of an elevation from an obscurity so profound to a height to brilliant and dazzling, was recorded in history, as the selection of Grover •Cleveland to be the chief magistrate of the .people. If, continued Mr. Ingalls, when inaugurated, President Cleveland had determined that the function* of government should be exercised by men of his own party the nation would have been content, and ihereen, said the senator, was founded the justification that the majority of the senate oould sue ia demanding that no action should be taken with regard to proposed removals from office until there had been satisfactory "Personally I regret the event very much. I know that Louisiana and Alabama will suffer in consequence—suffer in their material prospects—and unjustly; still, they will suffer. Capital and enterprise, immigration and industry, will avoid a community in which such things as the Carrollton massacre can occur and find apologists.

Dawson felt that her money would be all frittered away, and she became very despondent. In despair she went to the home of her former husband, four miles from the city, and before entering the house swallowed a quantity of arsenic When it was discovered that she had taken arsenic a physician was summoned, but he came too late to relieve her, and she died shortly after midnight Yesterday at 1 o'clock p. nC the son, Oscar, who had been mined for some time, was found in his room unconscious from the use of morphine, and he died later. "It is all wrong, I know, but it is so, and so it will continue to be until the southern people rouse themselves and repudiate their black sheep." Dilke Appears To Good Advantage. London, March 37.—Sir Charles Dilke'i speech at Chelsea last night was a remarkable effort. In respect of oratorical effect and force of argument the address was unquestionably one of the greatest achievements ol his life. The speech was mainly a fierce attack upon the Whigs, and furnished abundant evidence of the close alliance ' existing between the speaker and Mr. Chamberlain. Lady Dilke is quite ill. - She has borne the worry, nervous excitement and strain brought upon her by the divorce proceedings which involved her husband wonderfully well, and the subsequent annoyances have until now apparently had no effect upon her health or spirits. The reaction has come at last, and the lady is prostrated with a complication of nervous disorders. The president feels very strongly on thif •subject also, and has expressed himself freely He realizes the evtent to which the outrage ous affair will be capitalized in the approach ing campaign, and perceives what the bettei classes of the south seem unable to understand, that all who are morally or politically associated with the Carrollton outlaws must, in a greater or less degree, come under the. condemnation of public sentiment. assurance that injustice had not been done. But what had been the president's attitude! Through all his political utterance from his letter of acceptance down to to-day he had denounced the dooti ine of political changes in the patronage, of the country, he had declared there should be no changes for political reasons where the incumbents were competent. But some Re mblicans had been suspended and others retained, and what was the irresistible inference. the logic of the situation, in view of the president's utterances, except that every suspended man was MncNXAPous, March 37.—The bank ot Minneapolis has closed its doors.

Buffalo, March 27.—Shortly before noon yesterday fire broke out in the North Buffalo mills, lying between the Niagara river and Erie canal, at North Buffalo. A gale was blowing, and half an hour after the fire started a second alarm was given, but the mill was by this tima doomed. The fire then jpread to Gilbert's Starch works, and a general alarm, .calling out the entire department, was given. The wind carried the sparks and embers for more than two blocks, setting fire to ten stores and dwellings, some of which were totally destroyed. The mill and starch work* were burned to the ground. The entire loss will aggregate nearly $500,000, on which there is an estimated Insurance of (200,000. OHIO ELECTION CASES. Smallpox Breaks Oat Attwh. The Coal Arrangement.

Pottsville, Pa., March 27.—The Miners' Journal says that the outcome of the recent ■oal conference in New York was an understanding that the production for April shall be limited to 2,000,000 tons, each interest to se allotted the same percentage as under las) gear's agreement, when the allotment for \pril -was 2,400,080 tons tons. The tonnagt 'or the year is to be 33,600,000 tons, percentiles to be fixed hereafter. This programme, however, is advisory only, and subject tc •atiflcation by the coal presidents.

The militia are instructed to sapport the sheriff and aid Itfm in preventing a violation of the law. and not for political reasons. Alluding to the celebrated circular "issued by Postmaster General Vilas," which he characterized as "the most thoroughly degraded, defiled, execrable and detestable public utterance ever made by an official," he said it was an invitation to every libeler, every slanderer to pour sewage into the postoffice department The postmaster general's answer to the senate's resolution showed said Mr. Ingalls that 8,685 fourth class postmasters had been removed during the past year by an administration pledged to remove :men only for cause. This was twenty-eight lfor every day, and counting seven hours to a ■day's work it was four removals an hour or •one for every fifteen minutes, every working ■Say for twelve months past.

After referring to Mr. Wilson's application of the word "protoplasmic" to the Democratic party and Mr. Voorhees' criticism of it, Mr. Ingalls said: Oeologists have found in the rocks illustrations of a being that occurred in the transition from the fish to the birds. There is an extinct creature called by geologists the CONDENSED NEWS. Sluing Down On Irons. The Pittsburg Huxlander signed the Printers' union scale and thus andad a boycott against that paper. Philadelphia, March 27.—General Secretary Turner, of the executive board of the Knights of Labor, when shown a copy of the St. Louis dispatch in which Chairman Irons is quoted as saying the strike would probably very soon extend throughout the United States, said: "That is all bosh.
