Two Methodist ministers oppose prohibition without compensation. Mayor Richard T. Pearson, of Allegheny, a Jewish rabbi, and a Catholic monk have declared against it on general principles. At a meeting of the Methodist ministers of Pittsburg »nd Allegheny there was discussed the question, "Should the liquor men be compensated for the loss of property by the passage of the prohibition amendment?" The Rev. Mr. Sheppord presented a strong argument in the affirmative. The Rev. O G. Westfall, of Allegheny, characterized th* aaloon keepers as murderers, whereupon the Rev. A. W. Robertson, of Allegheny, said: "A saloon keeper kills no man. Drinking is not an involuntary act Whatever may be our views as to the moral right of a man to sell or manufacture, we have no right to oondemn it in the faoe of the law which legalizes it" In Pennsylvania. Trenton, Feb. 5.—A large part of the population of Trenton poured into the state house last night and sought seats in the assembly gallery. The special attraction was a joint meeting of the two houses to view Julian Scott's painting of the late ex-Governor Joel Parker. The joint meeting was held at 9 o'clock. President Worts presided, and Governor Green occupied a seat at his right. The painting, which shows the late ex-governor in life size, is said to be an excellent likeness of him as seen in middle age. It was displayed on one side of the speaker's desk, in a beautiful gold frame. ing Preachers. Vienna, Feb.

The reasons for the Iowa statesman's refusal to take the treasury have already been thoroughly oanvasxil, and his desire to stay in the senate has been satisfactorily accounted for.

Both vessels sank within three minutes after the collision, and those who were not carried down with them found themselves in water so cold as to benumb them in a very short time. Many of those rescued were unconscious when picked up and were with great difficulty revived, while others were past resuscitation.

Eulogies were spoken by Judge Ulrich, Governor Green and Senator Nevins. After the governor's address Speaker Hudspeth moved that the picture be formally accepted and occupy a place on the walls of the assembly chamber. This motion was adopted, and after a vote of thanks to the joint committee the joint meeting arose. 6 35 In it the German government proposqp a resumption at Berlin of the conference begun here in June, 1887, and which terminated last July, with a view to the settlement of Samoan matters and the preservation of the autonomy, of the government of those islands. ... 1 05 1 05 .. 1 00 ... 45 95 ... 1 00 ctfl lb In the regular session, after the joint meeting, Heppenheimer called the repeal jr from the table and moved to recommit to thy judiciary committee. Some very bitter aad taunting remarks were made, and the motion was lost, 29 to 88, McDermitt voting with the Republicans, which caused a tremendous sensation. Some other routine business was transacted. It is stated that Emperor Francis Joseph some time ago told M. Tisga that he had lost all hope and faith in the future of Crown Prince Rudolf and there was nothing left for him to do but to exercise his sense of duty toward his son. In consequence of the consoling words of the emperor Priuccss Stephanie has decided to abandon her visit to Brussels and remain in Vienna. In his sermon Rabbi L. Mayer said that prohibition would be more of an evil than good, and he was a sinner who could not control himself in the use of nature's gifts. The United States, Germany and Great Britain are to be represented in the conference. "None of the statements about Senator Allison sent out from here," said Gen.

The husband of the lady and her brother are said to have confronted her with indisputable proof of the knowledge of a liaison existing between herself and Archduke Rudolf. She was then urged by her husband, who is as proud a noble as the empire boasts, and also by her brother, to redeem her fault in their eyes by taking her life. Mayor Richard T. Pearson, of Allegheny City, in a published interview, declared against the amendment on the ground of the great injury its passage would work to the keg, glass bottle and hoop iron trade, and the lost to farmers, who would be unable to sell their rye. Guckenheimer Brothers, distillers at Freeport, Armstrong county, paid C5,000 a week in wages. The closing of their establishment meant the ruin of the town. Distinguished TnHi»ni«na are again being shifted about in cabinet speculation, including Judge Woods, CoL John C. New, Gen. Lew Wallace and ex-Governor Porter, but little importance is attached to either of these possibilities, although the talk regarding CoL New meets with the most favor. As to Gen. Wallace, he is on record as having stated that he would not accept a cabinet position, and ex-Governor Porter, if he is booked for anything at all, will go abroad. It is now understood here that while the choice for the treasury may, after all, fall upon Congressman McKinley, that gentleman prefers to remain where he is. The evangelical ministers of the city, through their association, took to Gen, Harrison their congratulations and good wishes. Gen. Harrison, in response to the written address and to the one already delivered by the chairman of the committee on presentation, replied: "I very greatly appreciate this kind and friendly pxpreesion. Coming, as it doee, from all the pulpits of the city, it is all the more grateful to me. Entering upon the discharge of the duties which I shall soon assume, I shall be glad for all the sympathy of the good people of the nation. If I am conscious of the possession of a single qualification for the duties to which I am called, it is the serious and settled purpose to do right as I may be guided. I thank you for your visit and your friendly expression of interest." The best opinion here is that Blaine will be secretary of state, William Windoua of the treasury, Rusk of War, and Wananiaker of the navy, with Evarts as attorney general. There is no doubt that Allison has positively declined to go into the cabinet, and as Gen. Harrison desired the treasury department to go to the west, it is reported on good authority that he has selected Mr. Wiudom for tliat place. Here the selection is looked upon as a good one. There is less talk of Evarts than formerly, yet no one has a name to suggest for the attorney generalship Whan the senate took up Mr. Sherman's anti-trust bill Mr. Jones (Ark.) made a speech in favor of it Send in your orders by mail, they will rectiue our best attention and delivered V. 0.

This sect abstains from voting at al elections, because God is not recognized in the constitution of the United States. Now it is suggested by one of their clergymen that they break the rule once at least, and vote for prohibition on June 18. The husband is said to have told her that if she refused to follow this advice he would shoot the archduke dead as readily as he would his own gamekeeper under similar circumstances, and that he would publish her shame at court by proclaiming it to Francis Joseph and the court dignitaries. The poor woman, cowed at the thought of disgrace, which would blight her proud name, and believing that by acceding to the demands of her infuriated husband she would retain her honor before the world and save the life of the crown prince, for whom she seems to have had a passionate regard, acceded to her husband's desire and took a doee of poison before his eyes, her brother looking coldly on. Mr. George contended that the bill would apply to temperance societies and to farmers who agreed not to sell products below certain prices. He would offer amendments looking to the suspension or reduction of import duties on the articles as to which trusts are formed, and he summed up his objection to the bill by saying that its provisions would be inefficient, and that it was without constitutional authority.

Efforts were made to run cars on the Eighth, Ninth and Second Avenue lines and the Belt line, all of which have been idle since the tie up. KILLED BY FALLING WALLS. SECRETARY WHITNEY'S DINNER.

Dublin, Feb. 5.—Details are at hand of the murder of Police Inspector Martin at Deroybeg, County Donegal, showing the fight to have been much more desperate and of larger proportions than at first reported. The police have taken possession of a number of palings, posts, etc., stained with blood, in spots corresponding with the gashes upon Martin's head and body. Martin slashed his assailants with his sword and was himself cut with various weapons, until he fell to the ground insensible. Father McFadden escaped through the lines of police-and took refuge in a house to which Martin was subsequently conveyed. His head and face were mangled beyond recognition, and he died soon after reaching the house. Several constables were severely cut in the melee, one of them having his lip split with a blow from a sharp instrument. Father McFadden surrendered to the police and was committed by the magistrate without bail. He was taken to Letterkenney, County Donegan. A crowd awaited his arrival and cheered him. The police charged upon the people with fixed bayonets and dispersed them.

The structure which caught the front of the wreck was Max Meyers' two story brick building, No. 1,018 Farnam street. It was occupied on the main floor by D. C. Dunbar's engraving and printing house. Adjoining on the east was an old one story frame building, occupied as a clothing store by E. Olsen.

Harrison, as having been hot and cold at times in regard to the Cabinet, and with having refused to accept the treasury portfolio because he could not secure certain pledges from the president-elect and from the governor of Iowa concerning tho succeseorship in the Benate, and all such reports do him great injustice. All persons to whom Senator Allison has given his confidence are aware that from the first he has resisted the attempt to make a cabinet ministor of him, and he has been sincere. There was a large crowd gathered on the sidewalks to watch the effort, but no stones were thrown, nor was there any effort mode to place obstructions on the track.

Brooklyn, Feb. 5.—The Atlantic Avenue Railroad company in Brooklyn succeeded in running a large number of cars over its Fifth avenue line yesterday, under six minutes headway, without any interference from the strikers. The company states that thirty-two cars were operated, but the strikers claim that only twelve cars were run. For the first time since the strike began the company sent cars to the South ferry as well as to the bridge. The company stated that 100 trips were made during the day, and that the police had nothing to do, there not being a violent demonstration. President Richardson took personal charge of affairs for the first time. Previous to leaving the deacon armed himself with a large Colt revolver, the handle of which protruded from his overcoat pocket. It was purposely displayed, so that he could not be arrested for carrying concealed weapons.  The Situation Id Brooklyn.
