Butter makers In the east expect to have this special legislation, which b hostile to the bigger interests In the west, but won't succeed. The boards of trade at Chicago, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Toledo, Cincinnati and elsewhere, have already passed reeolutions against that kind of favoritism.

The dootor, thinking to beoeflt her health, brought her to tbie city about a week ago, since which time tbey bare been stopping at various hotels. Th* dootor was the sole attendant of his daughter, end it Is supposed that his mind gave way under his long vigil and he has become violently insane.

This gentleman was a college associate of Shaw Blssell's at Yale, although mora intimate with the older and lets known Bi«sell boy, who was a famous boating man at Yale. Be is surprised, as are all others who know both brothers, that President Cleveland should have chosen Shaw, the younger, as an intimate, rather than Arthur, the older. Sliaw is secretive, excessively so at times, and when in Yale achieved something of a reputation iu college ai an aristocrat Arthur, the older brother, is blunt, frank, democratic, and a man of good common sense The story 15 told that one .of Shaw's college chums said to him Ncently: "Why not suggest to the prteidsnt that there could be no possible harm in simply intimating that th* reports are true or false!" adding that when President Tyler had decided to marry he thought it was honorable both to himself and to the Intended bride to receive congratulation* therefor. Shaw, it is reported, replied that social usages ware changed since 1840. When Graver Cleveland wai sweeping out a Buffalo law office Shaw Biseell and his brother Arthur were preparing for oollega Both went to Yale. Arthur entered in 1808 and Shaw in 1866. When Shaw was examined for admission his seat mate was a son of William H Evarts, and for a time a cardial inthnacy existed between them, but later Shaw transferred his intimacy to one of that class who has sines become notorious, John C. Eno. Arthur, who had b**n three years in college when Shaw entered, was as unliks his brother as possible. He was a hard student, a plain, matter-of-fact fellow, with a brawny muscle that took hftn Into the Yale crew. In 1807, in his senior year, he became stroke of the crew, and was a famous stroke, although his crew was beaten at Worcester. After graduating ha went back to Buffalo, and there made Cleveland's acquaintance Young Grover was then getting fairly started in his law business, and be found in Arthur Bissell just the kind of man he liked. Both ware blunt, positive, frank, and at that time Cleveland was impressed with the value of muscular development, which was a hobby of Arthur Blssell's. Meanwhile Shaw was finishing his career at Yale.- He began with cultivating friendship with young Bvarts, Shirlky, wh" was valedictorian; Wilder, who was afterward private secretary of Mayor Havsmeyer, and young Raymond, son of Henry J. Raymond, of The New York Times But after a year or so Shaw Bissell formed new associates. He became Intimate with John C.

Tbe Bohemian employes at the stock yards, who succeeded In enforcing en eight-hour day, moved among the lumber worker* and threatened them with vengeence if they returned to work on the ten-hour plan. If the eight-hour rule falls In tbe lumber district they fear It will fail In the peaking housee ae well All this has occasioned a renewal of the unrest and inoendiary feelings in the district, and tbe yard owners confess that they do not axpect the men to return in force. It was afso learned that an attempt was making to organise a mas* meeting to be held on the prairie where the MoCormick riot occurred. Strong relays of polios will be sent into ths district again to guard against trouble The condition of the worklngmen in the district is in many ways becoming alarming. A great many are entirely without money, tbe full fore* of tbe strike baring fallen upon them, and while it Is said that • great majority are anxous to return to work tbey are prevented by a majority of violent agitators. Tbe situation at Pullman has not Improved. Although the company has kept tbe works moving for three days the force Is found to be Inadequate, and at a meeting of tho employee last night a large majority decided to continue the strike. Tbe officials are intimating that tbey may shut down tbe entire .works, get lid of the present working force and endeavor to bring In new men. The difficulties of tbe company can be appreciated when It is known that It Is owner of all the bouses In the town which are occupied their employes, and the work of driving them oat would be a difficult one. Co*3TAXTinon.it, May 17. — A Cable Hews correspondent, who has Just returned from Llvadia, says that everybody thnre Is wondering at tbe continued proasuoe of the cxar. He has three times announced tbe ditto of his departure, but it has each time been postponed. The cxar has apparently completed his military duties at this place, for be now devotee his time entirely to sports and amuaementsi He follows the chase daring most of the day and is teaching the csarevitch to ba, like himself, an admirable sportsman. Every night he attends the ball, reception, or whatever other form of Captivity the caartna is giving: The official reason given for his detention Is that he wishes to Inspect the fortreseas'aad troops at Sevastopol and elsewhere, bat spearing boars and dancing at his wife's reoeptions have nothing to do with lnepeotlng forts. Hie Nihilists have quite another theory to account for the cxar'a delay. They boldly announce that the cxar dare not leave Livadla, because ha knows that he is surroonded by hundreds of Nihilists in hla own army and that his footstepe are everywhere tracked by Invisible enemlee. An old captain of Cnssauks, who is probably a Nihilist himself, said to your correspondent that tbe recent discoveries of concealed dynamite cartridges under the railway to Bt Petersburg waa only a blind. Tbe Nihilists had probably placed the cartridges there, but it was only to mislead the police Into the belief that this was the way in which the poHoa proposed to do their work. Bat railway mines have lately become very unfashionable among the Nihilists. When arranged to he operated by the pasmge of a train, tbey only wreck the pilot engine which always ran* sufficiently far ahead of the imperial train to suable the latter to be stopped when anything happens to the pilot. Tbe other method, that of exploding the mine by means otan electric wire, is certain to cause the arreet of toe operator, and has therefore been abandoned. Bat the plot for the removal of toe cxar has not been given up, and his majeety is undoubtedly in great and Imminent peril. Another fact which lncreaeee the wonder at the cat's delay is that he 4s thereby abandoning, or at least postponing, a project to which be has looked forward with ambitious pride for the last two years. It was on ti* 34th of this month that be was to have been crowned emperor of Central Asia. This pageant was to have taken place at a grand darhah to ba bald at Bamaroand and attended by all toe native Khans and princes. Tbe scans was to have been one of unexampled splendor and gorgeousnees, outrivaling all ths barbario magnlficenoe of to* eansnoos orientals. The date of this pageant was announced officially at St Petersburg before the cxar departed on his preeent Journey. It is no light thing that has obnngsd toe cxar from his plans regarding tola ceremonial. If it be, as claimed by the Nihilists, that terror keepe the cxar away from this pageant, they have already achieved a notable victory. Another story that Is vary current is that the cxar is still plotting for an attack upon Bulgaria; but there is oertainly nothing sithar military or political in his majesty's present occupations. A HUSBAND'S VENGEANCE. ■a Shoots Bis Neighbor and Then Give Himself Dp. St. Louia, May 17.—The circuit oourt room afc'HIlbboro, Ma, the county seat of Jeffsrson county, was the soene of a bloody affray. Several weeks ag4{ & B.

Tsssd Guilty. It is hinted that James A.' Richmond, president of the Broadway Surface Railroad company will be the next ooefor trial. Ex- Alderman Waite is still out in the custody of Detective Frink, and probably will be until the Broadway bribery cans ars disposed of for good. The effect of the prolongation of the great strike is shown in a significant way. It was known that large building operations, involving an expenditure of fully $10,000,000,' had been etoppsd Just prior to the beginning of the eight-hour movement Bight or nine large building enterprises, however, were already under way. The construction of the Central building on the site of tbe old city hall, to cost $1,000,000, which had reached the second story, is to cease until the present troubles are effectually settled- The architects have decided to let no more contracts until The strikes have been ended. Oo a number of the large atructuree which were begun before the eight-hour movement was under headway there is little work being done, and on several work has entirely ceased. The building season of 1886 is now practically dead, and by many contractors is considered at a does and employes are threatened with an Idle summer. ANOTHER TORNADO IN OHIO. DEATH OP AN EX-SLAVE.

Harrod, reotor of St. Lulu's Protestant Episcopal church. This action on the part of the reverend gentleman is due to tha offering on Kay 8 at a meeting of tha vestryinsn by Mr. Thomas of a resolution calling for the rector's reeignation on acoount of a falling off In the revenues of the church. The motion was tabled by a tie vote. Mr. Harrod did not bear of this matter-until Friday last, when he promptly tendered his resignation, which has not yet been acted on. Mr. Harrod says that he does not wish to preside over a divided congregation. The whole trouble arises from the fact that the congregation is divided into two factions—one faction being high and the other low churchmen. • The Fat* *f an Intent that was Born la the Parker House, Boetou.

After Shaw was graduated he studied law and returned to Buffalo. He is 40 years old now, and Cleveland 40. Then he was 22, and Cleveland SC He kept up his habits as a man of taste in dress, but he was a good fellow at heart, and speedily became more intimate with Cleveland than Arthur had been. Possibly this was because they were more congenial in their amusements; possibly because Cleveland admired Shaw's ability to be secretive, which Arthur never* attained, nor, in fact, tried to. Buffalo friends' assert that Cleveland owes very much" of his almost Napoleonic rise from obscurity to what Mr. Hewitt calls the most exalted step on earth, to Shaw Blasell's help. Bhaw is a true dia ciple of Thurlow Weed. There is nothing he would aooept for himself though he is glad to see Arthur assisted.
