New York, March 2.—The plan and scope committee of the centennial celebration of Washington's inauguration held a meeting at the committee's rooms in tho Stewart building yesterday afternoon. Mayor Grant presided, and all the members were present with the single exception of Cornelius M. Bliss, who is at Washington to take part in celebrating another presidential inauguration. Commodore (jerry read a dispatch from James W. Husted, at Albany, stating that the centennial bill, which appropriates $135,000 for the national guard of the state, $20,000 for the Grand Army, and $55,000 for the use of the New York committee, hod passed both bouses.. The national guard money will probably insure the attendance of nearly every regiment in the state. The names of Harrison Clarke, department commander of the Grand Army; John 8. Cummins and H. C. Fahnestock were added to the general committee. William C. Hamilton, of the committee on states, submitted a most elaborate sketch of the invitation to the reception to the president of the United States on Monday, April 29, the day of his arrival in New York.

Washington, March 2.—It was apparent yesterday for the first time that the inauguration rush was beginning, and that the city was fast filling up. The weather was beautiful, and all day Pennsylvania avenue and the streets and squares in the neighborhood of the public buildings and the leading hotels were traversed by such streams of people as are only seen here on extraordinary occasions. Now and then strains of martial music fell upon the ear and gave notioe that the first military companies were beginning to arrive, and here and there among the general moss of civilians one began to observe the uniforms of the militia boys. Last year the number was 4,900, and of these only about 10 per cent were those of New Jersey couples. The ease with which a young couple can skip across to Camden to a well advertised dominie's hou«e and be tied up has been demonstrated tune and time again through newspaper exposures of marriages of mere children, imbeciles and runaways. Two Chinamen were recently married there to two Irish lasses, and on another occasion a clergyman tore a thick veil from the face of a negro woman who was about to take a white .man as a husband. Washington, March 2.—The public debt, according to the statement issued from the treasury department, increased (0,443,- 334 during the past month. * Unusually heavy pension payments, amounting to (20,- 914,964, is assigned as the chief reason for an increase Instead of decrease in the debt since Feb. 1. The net cash or surplus in the treasury has decreased about (17,000,000 during the month, and amounts to (48,096,168. National bank depositaries hold (48,818,991 of government funds, or about (1,500,000 less than on Feb. L The gold fund balance in the treasury has increased about (2,000,000 during the past month and amounts to (196,- 345,980, and the silver fund balance, exclusive of (6,000,000 trade dollar bullion, has increased (2,500,000, and now amounts to (21,564,965. The Pall Mall Gazette strongly urges that Messrs. Walter, Buckle, Macdouald, Soames and Houston be summoned to the bar of the house and be committed to the Clock Tower on the charge of a flagrant breach of privilege in charging that Mr. Parnell lied during the discharge of his parliamentary duties.

Gladstone In the Role of Prophet. ■lent of the Irish and Says the Govem- Qladstone Denounces the Harsh Treat- London. March a.—The Telegraph says the speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone in the house of commons was historical. He is seen on the warpath at his best, and his attack upon the Liberal-Unionists was made with the tremendous force of invoctive and sarcasm of a great master. Mr. Chamberlain smiled nervously as the house roared at the great Liberal's sarcastic allusionB, and glanced curiously at Mr. Gladstone at other times. The ex-premier's peroration was spoken in the character of a prophet of the wrath to come, with resonant voice and flashing eyes. The aged statesman seemed like | lother Isaiah, crying "Woe unto them in high places in Jerusalem." His last words were signs of the coming doom, and he finished amid a tempest of cheers. The business has been so well advertised by the ministers, who cleverly insert their residences in marriage notices in the news papers, that. attracted trado, and one or two clergymen moved over from Philadelphia and settled near the ferries. One man in l»r-ticular printed on cards and letterheads a diagram of the river, ferries and part of Camden indicating the location of his residence with dotted lines, showing the best route to take to reach it Others made bids Air the business, but lately it has become somewhat unpopular, and perhaps four or five Camden ministers enjoy a complete monopoly of the trade. ment Read Their Doom In the Hand- writing on the Wall—Mr. Parnell Also Speaks and Is Enthusiastically Cheered.

Boyal Bakino Powdik Co., US Wail St., N. Y. Madrid, Mft-ch 2.—An Englishman, supposed to be Richard Pigott, was arrested at the Hotel des Ambassadeurs, under the name of Ronald Ponsonby. The man afterward committed suicide with a revolver. Government receipts during February put were $30,133,159, against $31,151,031 in February, 1888, the decrease being due to diminished customs receipts, which this year in February were $18,768,037, against $19,601,064 in February, 1888. Expenditures during the past month were unusually large, owing to heavy pension payments, and amounted to $33,786,517, or about $14,000,000 more than in February, 1888. The total receipts and expenditures (or the first eight months of the current fiscal year, compared with the corresponding months of the previous year, were as follows: Receipts, 1888, $254,366,915; expenditures, $188,446,939. Receipts, 1889, $255,- 210,423; expenditures, $222,434,625. This shows an increase in receipts for the eight months of the current year over those of the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year of about $1,000,000; and on the other hand an increase of $39,000,000 in expenditures so far this year over expenditures for the eight months of last year. The Capitol and the department buildings are invaded to a very large extent by the early comors, who take tirnu by the forelock and make sure of a visit to those public buildings which nearly every pilgrim to the Capital City desires to see, and to which it may be difficult to gain admission during the crowded period of the inauguration. Heat* Ve. The description corresponds with that of Pigott The man spoke English only. A small amount of silver was found in his pockets. The police have taken possession of the paper* and other articles found upon him. An authority on the subject said yesterday: "You can put it down as pretty accurate that the average fee paid by Pennsylvania grooms to Camden ministers is close to $2. I have received all the way from a big copper cent in a nice envelope to a crisp $20 bill, and I am pretty certain that the average is not much below $2. This means that the four or five men who have the bulk of the business realize handsomely on the nearly 400 weddings of the Pennsylvania couples they have each month. Say four of them have 300 weddings. That is $600 at least—probably more —or $150 per month apiece, which is not to be sneezed at by clergymen of small salaries. TOO MANY IRONS IN THE FIRE. Fauncefote Is Snrely Coming. Failure of an Extensive and Varied Manu- facturer for SI,000,000. There is now no doubt of the identity of the suicide. His seisure was effected by the Spanish authorities at the request of the British embassy, which had received telegraphic instructions from the foreign office. IiONDON, March 8.—The statement that Sir Julian Pauncefoto has been appointed British minister to the United States is officially confirmed. Lord Salisbury, it is said, selected him on account of his knowledge of the fishery question. Among the hotels the Arlington, where Harrison's party is staying, is naturally the principal resort of the politicians, but already a sufficient number of the inauguration visitors has arrived to keep the lobbies of the other hotels pretty busy. Boston, March 3.—Henry A. Gould, doaler in rubber, gutta percha, dyo stuffs, camphor, etc., under the style of Henry A. Gould & Co., No. 10 Pearl street, has mado an assignment to Charles K. Cobb, attorney, No. 40 Water street, Boston. Gould has done an extensive business; has branch houses in New York and Philadelphia, and a purchasing house at Para, Brazil, it being the oldest American establishment in that city. He is said to have (15,000 interest in the reorganized National Rubber company and also an interest in the Brook Haven Rubber Shoe company, formerly the L. B. Smith Rubber company. He has two camphor refineries, one at Rumney, N. H, and another at Stamford, Conn., and is said to control the product of a German manufactory of anilines. He is also engaged in the manufacture of liquid cutch. Mr. Ezra Farnsworth, of this city, has backed Gould for some time, and his refusal to do so any longer is said to be the immediate cause of the failure. A very large amount of Gould's outstanding obligations are said to be guaranteed by Farnsworth, and the holders of such paper will not suffer loss. Farnsworth is nominally secured by Gould's assets, the value of which at present is not known. The liabilities, it is stated, will probably exceed $1,000,000, of which a large amount is said to be secured. None of the Boston banks will suffer.

The head at the wretched man was horribly disfigured by the shot, and the doctors say that death must have been instantaneous. Gladstone's Son Dying. Gen. Harrison rose early and took a short walk before breakfast, whioh was on the table as early as 8 o'clock. Between receiving visitors in his parlors on the upper floor and giving directions to Private Secretary Halford and his corps of stenographers on the floor below, Gen. Harrison is kept pretty busy all day, and as he passes up and down stairs from the social quarters to the business quarters, as one might say, he looks busy and a thoroughly occupied man, but never appears to be in a hurry. London, March 2.—William Henry Gladstone, eldest son of Right Hon. William Ewart Gladstone, ex-premier, is in a dying condition. He was insensible all day yesterday. Suspicion was attracted to his movements by the Interpreter of the hotel, who noticed that he appeared restless and very uneasy about receiving news from his friends after lending off a telegram. GREAT EXPECTATIONS. AN ASSAULT RESULTS IN MURDER. COMMERCIAL UNION WITH CANADA. The Heirs of George Beatty, Who Died in A Young Wife Horribly Slashed by Her In the house the joint resolution was passed to promote commercial union with Canada. It provides that whenever it shall be duly certified to the president that the government of Canada has declared a desire to establish commercial union with the United States, having a uniform revenue system, like internal taxes to be collected and like import duties to be imposed on goods to be brought into either oountry from other nations, with no duties upon trade between the United States and Canada, he shall appoint three commissioners, with those who may be likewise designated to represent the government of Canada, to prepare a plan for the assimilation of the import duties and internal revenue taxes of the two countries and an equitable division of receipts in a commercial union; and said commissioners £hall report to the president, who shall lay the report before congress.

London, March 2.—The description given of the man who committed suicide in Madrid tallies with that of the man who called at the Hotel Des Deux Mondes, in Paris, after Pigott's flight. The suicide is undoubtedly Pigott. He doubtless assumed the name of "Ronald Ponsonby" because the initials corresponded by those on his baggage. Philadelphia, March 2. — Marshall R Smith, formerly of Belvidere, N. J., now of Trenton, has discovered that the descendants of George Beatty, among whom are included ex-Mayor Daniel P. Beatty, Capt M. H Beatty, Lewis C. Beatty and Hibbard Beatty, of Washington, N. J., Judge George Beatty, of Hope, N. J., and a number of Beattys in Easton and elsewhere are heirs of a tract of land in Trenton, and on Schooiey's uiountains, worth (50,000,000. The property in Trenton is said to consist of 176 acres of land, and on Schooley's mountain of 248 acres. George Beatty obtained a legal title to the property in Trenton on March 25, 1779, paying $5,000 for the same. Beatty died in 1801, with the property in his possession, but left no will. Lawyer Smith has the deeds, and they were recorded at Flemington on March 19, 1790. The record shows that Beatty sold all but ninety-two acres of tha Trenton property. The land unsold is said to be worth $10,000 per acre. Upon it are whole streets of brick and stone houses. Neighbors there say that nobody will venture to build on the vacant lots because they cannot get a clear title for them. Some of the properties built on the land claimed are worth from $10,000 to $100,- 000. 1770, Fighting for a I Jig Stake. DUsolute Husband. Paterson, N. J., March3.—Mrs. Catherine Labbe was so brutally cut by her husband, Tunis Labbe, Thursday that she died yesterday. Labbe was arranged in court and fully committed on the charge of murder. Anthony Labbe was married in Holland about six months ago to a beautiful young girl, who came with him two months later to America. The general received probably as many callers as on any previous day since his arrival here, but there did not seem to be such a large proportion of cabinet makers, so to speak, among them. The only New Yorker of any prominence who called during the day was CoL Fred Grant It was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the colonel and his wife were conducted up the narrow stairway to Gen. Harrison's parlor, and it was about 4:01 when the distinguished couple came down stairs again, the interview being over. Other calls were nearly as brief. Ferris and Roes Ham, Bacon and Beef. Butter of all grades, up to choice creamery. The Standard says that Pigott, when arrested, appeared to take the matter coolly. With the utmost calmness ho asked permission to go into an alcove and get his overcoat. The request being granted he retired, and the next minute a shot was heard. His captors rushed to him to find that he had placed the muzzle of a revolver in his mouth, and, firing it, had died almost instantly. She was Labbe's second wife, and was only 19 years old. He is 30. After they reached Paterson Labbe would not work, and they ran out of money. The girl refused to remain dependent upon Labbe's friends, and went five weeks ago to live as a domestic with Mrs. Van Riper at No. 399 Ellison street Labbe's friends would not toll him where his wife was. He met her, however, and made an Appointment with her for Thursday afternoon at Mr. Stuiwater's house, 29 Chestnut street They ate luncheon there, and Mr. Stulwator went out, leaving them alone together. When he returned, about an hour later, he found the young wife lying in a corner, with blood issuing from a dozen wounds in her head, neck, arms and side. She was taken to St Joseph's hospital and will probably die. Flour from way back to choicest Patent. Finest: Olives and Olive Oil. Saratoga Chips. The venerable Hannibal Hamlin, the only surviving ex-vice president, was an early caller. Governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, the chief marshal of the inauguration parade, accompanied by his chief of staff, Gen. A H. Hastings, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. A T. Britton, chairman of the inauguration committee, called upon Gen. Harrison for the first time. Senators Chandler and Blair also called to pay their resjiects, nearly all the other Republican senators having called on previous days.  Cruftlied Out of Shape.

Paris, Ont, March 2. —A railroad accident on the Buffalo and Lake Huron road resulted in the death of Mrs. Law, of Drumbo and her 6-year-old daughter. The special coming from Brantford ran into the rear end of a local train going west, which was standing at the station. The engine struck the passenger car in the rear and drove it forward under a flat car. Mrs. Law was found lying in the coach crushed out of shape, with the flat car resting upon her. One other pas senger, a man, escaped by jumping. Gladstone and Parnell Foretelling the The president's last public reception drew folly 2,000 people, mostly strangers in the city, to the White House. When, about 800 had been admitted the outride doors of the mansion were closed. The president shook hands with those who were so fortunate as to get inside, and after this ordeal was over decided not to receive the others. Many old acquaintances of the president were among those who called to say good-by. CLEVELAND'S LAST RECEPTION. English and American Pickles. Nuts and Candies of every name and kind.

London, March 3.—In the house of commons last evening Mr. Gladstone, declared that the difficulties placed in the way of a settlement of the land question were due to the action of Mr. Chamberlain, Lord Hartington and their friends. When the effect of their action, which resulted in the distress of tenants, became patent these gentlemen obstinately refused to deal with the questions •concerning them.

He was himself badly cut in the struggle with his wife and was seeking medical assistance. He says his wife made the first attack with the knife. Southern White Corn Meal, Gold Dust Gorn Meal.

New York Leginlature. The grandest flavored, sweetest Teas, in America. Washington, March 2.—There seems to have been a solution of the New Torlc cabinet problem. All day, long there was a significant absence of Now York men. Everybody said it forboded a surprise of some sort, and it came. The crowd in the Arlington sure enough started the news that Gen. Benjamin Tracy, of Brooklyn, had been chosen as a compromise man for New York's place in the cabinet. It was stated quietly that the navy had been fixed upon for him; that Harrison himself had done it and that Senator Hiscock had, at Gen. Harrison's request, telegraphed to Gen. to come on. Slate Said to Be Completed. The signal office monthly waather crop bulletin reports that generally the weather for February and season tfp to the first of March has been favorable, and notwithstanding the deficiency of moisture in the winter wheat section, the resulting crop conditions are more favorable than those of last year, although the success of the crops depend largely on the weather of the currant month. Albany, March &—The house almost unanimously adopted the senate resolutions congratulating Parnell and Gladstone after Mr. De Peyster had told them it was highly improper, as an official body, to interfere in the action of foreign countries. A bill was passed authorizing the New York police to arrest habitual criminals on sight during the centennial inaugural ceremonies in that city. The attendance in both brsuchus was very slim and little business was done. Adjournment was taken to Monday, March XI. Mr. Gladstone said he had never vindicated the cause of those who had committed breaches of the law, but he was compelled to aay that this was one of the cases in which the law makers were more responsible than the law breakers. "We have employed Mr. Smith to search for the estate in question, and so far everything is favorable. My mother's grandfather was a wealthy man in his day, owning the most part of Trenton, which we have records to prove, and his grandchildren are still living in Trenton and know all about it. There are several million dollars in real estate belonging to us, most of it built on and very valuable land, and I think there will be no trouble to establish our claim, as our record is so clear and good."

Baltimore, March &—In the Republican League convention James P. Foster, of New York, the retiring president, nominated Htm. John N. Thurston, of Nebraska, for president of the league. Judge Thurston declined the honor, saying that he could not give the necessary time and attention the position required. Hon. T. E. Byrne, of Minnesota, arose, and in an eloquent speech beeough; Judge Thurston to accept the presidency Indiana next insisted that Thurston withdraw his declination, and then followed similar requests from every state, which ended ii Thurston's election by acclamation. Andrew B. Humphrey, of New York, was re-electet secretary, and Fliineas C. Lounsbury, ol Connecticut, treasurer. Mrs. Cleveland Talks of Her Future. Washington, March 3.—The Poet publishes an interview with Mrs. Cleveland in which she is quoted as denying that she has any intention of writing either a book or an article for publication. The interview concludes as follows: "Upon leaving Washington Mr. Cleveland and I will go to the Victoria hotel In New York, where we remain until our plans for the summer are matured. I hardly think we will begin housekeeping, again until autumn. Wherever my husband goes I shall go, though I don't need to say that. We will leave the White House on Sunday evening and be the guests of Mrs. Secretary FairchHd. My mother will be the guest of Mrs. Dickinson. She will accompany us to New York. Of course the matter of our future residence has resolved itself into one of house hunting. Mr. Cleveland's business intentions have been announced. Presumably we will live in New York city."

One man named Gibson was killed and three others fatally wounded. An Entire Family Drowned. Concluding, Mr. Gladstone asserted that home rule was surely coming, and many of those opposing it must already see in the .handwriting on the wall the signs of their approaching doom. New York, March 2.—Robert Sigel, son and confidential clerk of Gen. Franz Sigel, pension agent m this city, was arrested and held in default of $20,000 bail on charges of forging signatures to two checkB of $400 each, intended for a blind soldier named Sidney Knight, of Port Henry, N. Y., and one of $100 for a widow, Mrs. Jennie Heinemann, of this city, and for taking pay from about 153 claimants for his services in making out their checks, the charges varying from $1 to $100. He confeesed his guilt. He is about 30 years old and married. He has lived pretty fast. Gen.

No building in thC city could have withstood the pressure brought to bear by the explosion. The Builder's Defense. Bochsster, N. Y., March 2.—Christian Berger was sentenced by Judge Davy, in the court of oyer and terminer, to be imprisoned at Auburn state prison for life. The crime for which Berger was convicted was the killing of Mrs. Hale, an old woman, in the town of Bega, about two months ago. Berger is only 16 years old, which fact probably influenced the jury to bring in a verdict of murder in the second degree instead of muruer in the first degree. Mr. Parnell said he believed that his colleagues and friends who had suffered through Mr. Balfour's principles would be richly rewarded in the near future by attaining the object they had at heart. Ireland would have been long ago tranquil but for exceptional law, the result of which the government was responsible for, and upon which the ministry must stand or fall. He would not discusB the conspiracy which had been assisted by the ministers to steal the liberties . of Ireland. He was confident that Englishmen would soon recognize the possibility «f home rule, and Irishmen knowing that they were turning their ear. to the reason of the KjuMttH/wottld steadily resist the incitement -of disorder and pursue the true path which Mr. Gladstone had indicated in 1885.
