Y , February 11— Dr. Ford, the phy- sician attending Horatio Seymour, i n a despatch to a newspaper here says : " There is no im- provement m the Governor's condition to-day. He is not &o s t r o n g a s h e w a s yesterday and the •ymptcms are not so favorable, because of increasing weakness. His condition is one of uncertainty. He takes so little nourishmeiit—only the smallest sips of milk— and there in such a failure of his digestion that 1 feel less easy about him than I did yesterday. His mind is clear, though he is a little delirious now and then, as any one would be in his condi- ~tkm.

THE DILXE-CBAWFOBD CASE, The Trial in Uian-Mr. (rawf.rs'i Teatl r.ny A Divorce Granted a u d t h e Charge Asavtaa* liilke Diamiaaed. I.OKDO*, February 12.—The trial of the divorce c*>*: cl Mr. Donald Crawford against bis wife, in which Sir Charles Dilke is co-respondent, was began to-day. Great interest is felt in the case, and the court-room was crowded when i t w a s calkd. Sir Lharleg Dilke arrived early and took his seat in the court-room without being recog- nized by most of the people in attendance. Mr. Chamberlain, President of the Local Govern- ment Board, and many gentlemen prominent in official and &ocial life were present. The case being announced, the petitioner's coun- sel stated th.it the first i n t i m a t i o n his Aent had of his wife's, unfaithfulness w a s o n t h e receipt of several anouymous letters, the writer of Vbich v»juutd Mr. Crawford to beware of "the member from Chehvea " (Sir Charles Dilke). Mr. Craw- ford thereupon made an investigation into his wife's habits ar.d found that she had been cor- responding with one Captain Forster. This offeEO be had condoned. Receiving further anonyuious letters, Mr. Crawford taxed his wife wit h infidelity. She admitted her guilt and made a full confession. She said she had parsed two nights with Sir Charles Dilke. His attentions to her, she said, had begun directly after her marriage. He professed to admire her be- cause of her resemblance to her mother. The wife of the petitioner had attributed the anony- mous letters to the vindictiveness of her mother. The petitioner's case rested solely on the wife's conftssion. The servants of Mr. Crawford's house- hold, coBj'sel said, would give evidence showing that their mistress bad been absent from home on the nights she stated she had been with Sir Charles Dilke. The petitioner, Mr. Crawford, then gave testi- mony sui; crting the statements of his counsel. Mr. Crawls rd said he had been startled by his wife a»kiii? bim whether he wou'.d forgive her if she hed I d n unfaithful to bihx His wife's sisters had been bhown the anonymous letters a n d b a d agreed that they were in the handwriting of their mother. Counsel for the petitioner submitted thf> evi- dence apau:st Mrs. Crawford, but none against Sir Charles Dilke. The Court granted Mr. Crawford a from his wife, and dismissed the charges Sir CTarles Dilke. di'.Mrce against BIUEF FOB L0BTX)ir W0B£MEN. Tew Tfeoaaaad Peaodo Already Collected.

GAJXI^VIUJE, Fla, February 12.—The annual meeting of the State Press Association was held here yesterday. Representatives were present from all parts of Florida, a n d t h e following le- fcotntions weie unanimously adopted : • The Florida Press Association, assembled in regular annual meeting, having had their attention drawn to numerous published exaggerations and Bdarenresentattoos of the extent of the damage doae In Florida bv the recent unprece- dented cold weather, and knowing that thou- sands of persons are looking torward to settlement in this State, we are disturbed by these unfounded statement*, gad deem It proper to make a true and candid st. tement of the faets as they exist without wlutlRk- an,i without partiality. It is therefore resolved, tnat we, members o f t h e Florida Press Association, coming from all parts of the State and therefore fully cognisant of the real condition of the •ssssass trrovesae now shown at the end of ^daya from the time of the treeae, state the ring as true facta in reference thereto: First, in eongequenoe of the exceeding low temperature the larger part of the fruit remaining on the trees was froxen.

CnrciwaATi, O., February VX—Sam P. Jones, the evangelist, who closes a long and successful series of meetings here this week, has published a card announcing the publication b y a firm in this city of his sermons. I n i t b e says: " Rhodes * MeCture, ef Chicago (the latter a preacher, I •aderatand), have perpetrated the boldest rob- bery (OB my wife and children) aad last •IsJiinl their deed with the most audacious impudence oa record. They hare copyrighted m y o w n sermons against myself I hone all honest book- saUars will refuse to deal in stolen goods." The investigation b y t h e Senate Railroad Com- mittee in regard t o t h e granting of the Broad- way Railroad franchise, was resumed at 11:30 o'clock this morning in the United States Cir- cuit Court-room, on the second floor of the Post-office Building. The room was filled with spectators. As before, ex-Senator Roscoe Conkling and Mr. Clarence A. Seward appeared as counsel for the Committee, and Mr. George Bliss as the friend of Jacob Sharp. Mr. Richard S. Newcombe was called a s a wit- ness, a n d , i n answer to Mr. Conkling, said that he appeared as counsel f o r a number of the Alder- men. He never saw Mr. Dempsey, and had not seen or heard of Mr. McCabe for a year. H e d i d n o t know where Mr. William H. Miller was. H e d i d not know where Alderman Thomas Farley wu. The counsel said that he appeared for Mr. Farley, and would have him here when wanted. He knew where James Pear- sou w a s a f e w days ago, and Mr. Pearson would come before the Committee when notified. As to Thomas Rothman he could give no informa- tion. He did not appear for Thomas Shiels. Mr. Neweombe said that he could give n o i n - formation in regard to any of the Aldermen ex- cept Mr. Pearson. Be promised to have the clerk, Mr. MaJoney, appear, Mr. Conkling saying that the Committee had made many futile attempts to secure his attendance, and wish- ed to secure i t a s soon as possible. Whenever the Committee had got track of Mr. Maloney h e h a d been o u t o f their jurisdiction. The witness said that he knew John Koenan. He did not appear for him, and could n o t a i d i n producing him. He did not know that Mr. Keonan h a d a n y interest in this investigation. Mr. Conkling remarked that the Committee was considerably interested in Mr. Keenan. Jacob Sharp was then recalled as a witness, and was questioned by Mr. Conkling in regard to his agreement with the Seventh Avenue Railroad for the assignment to the latter of the stock of the Broadway Surface Rail- road. He said that the agreement w a s i n t h e possession of Mr. Foahay, the President of the Seventh Avenue Road. When he said, the other day, that this stock was of DO value, he meant that it was '* e f no great value.'' The Twenty-third Street Railroad gua- ranteed the principal and interest of 375 first mortgage bonds of the Broadway Road. The second mortgage bonds, amounting to $1,000,000, the interest of which was guaran- teed by the Seventh Avenue Road, were worth as much as the first-mortgage bonds. As they were a lien on the property of the road, they would, of course, be paid, under the lease t o t h e Seventh Avenue Road, to prevent the property from being sold under foreclosure. The witness said h e w a s a director from the start of the Seventh Avenue Railroad, w a s t h e originator of the Broadway Surface Road, and received all the stock of the latter road ever issued. He spoke in so low a tone that many of bis replies were inaudible to the repor- ters a n d to t h e members of the Committee who were not seated close to him. Mr. Conkling examined the pass-book of the witnes8,and read various entries of deposits, show- ing that over $900,000 were deposited by him within six weeks in 1885. The exact figures were f&43,G18 deposited between June 19, 1885, and July 19 or 29,1885. These statements were made at t he suggestion of the witness, in order to correct a possible misapprehension of some of his former testimony. Mr. Conkling asked if the Broadway Surface Road would not require a capital or plant of $1 ,- 000,000 to pay its second mortgage bond; at ma- turity, only the interest being guaranteed b y t h e Seventh Avenue Road. Mr. Sharp replied i n t h e affirmative. He said that the first m o r t g a g e was made in order to give h i m t h e bonds to build the road The second, mortgage was made partly in order t o g e t t h e stage lines out of the way. He di.i not remember who first suggested the idea of the second mortgage for the purpose. He corrected bis former testimony by saying that he now had in bis possession 549 of the Broad- way Surface bonds. He had originally testified that he now had only 200 of these bonds (of $1,000 each), so that he had made a mistake of 349. When the witness first saw the bonds they were tied u p i n bundles, a n d l a y o n a table in his counsel's office. Mr. Richmond was there. The witness did not keep a secretary or any one to do clerical work for him of a pri- vate nature Messrs. Scribner & Bright were in the office where the bonds were delivered to him. The witness went across the street and placed tbein with a safe deposit company. This was t h e n e w York Sate Deposit Company, from whom he rented a vault. He might have taken some of the bonds home and put them in his private safe. If he did so. he did not know how many he took. He k<pt the only key of his safe-deposit vault in his own possession. His son-in-law, John H. Selms, one of the directors of the Broadway Road, would be able to open the combination if the witness gave him the key. He never had given h i m t h e k e y . The witness said that Mr. McLean was Secre- tary of tbe Broadway Road, and also of the road of which the witness was President. Mr. Bird, the Treasurer of the Broadway Road, was not connected with the witness i n a n y other w a y . H e h a d been acquaint ed with him for several years. T w o o f t h e other directors, Messrs. Scribner and Bright, were his counsel. Mr. Pentz, a director, w a s n o t c o n nected with him otherwise, Mr. Sharp said that h e h a d a k e y t o a metal box which was kept in his safe-deposit vault. The b o x w a s about two feet square and a foot high. He put some of the bonds in this box, and piled the others on top of it. H e h a d n o o t h r vault in that o r a n y other safe-deposit company. He h a d t h e same vault mw. Mr. Conkling asked when, after the witness had first l o c k e d up his bonds, he next saw them. Mr. Sharp replied that when he sold 800 and odd bonds to Vermilye & Co. he took them froai the vault and carried tLetu down himself. This wa.« on the 19th of July, 1SS5, He had not disturbed the bonds before. Being asked when he next saw any of the bonds, the witness said he could not tall. He said that he cut the coupons off the bonds still in his possession in January. The coupons were due in January and July. The July coupons had been cut off some of the bonds when he got thorn. As they were 5 per cent bonds, a year's coupons on the $2,500,000 would amount to $125,000. He supposed that the first coupons were cut off all the first mortgage bonds when he got them, b u t d i d n o t think they were cut off the spcond mortgage bonds. He gave 135 bonds to Mr. Richmond on the day that he got them at Mr. Sciibner's offles. He now remembered that fact. He also put aside 10 bonds for Mr. Bliss, 40 for ex-Judge Russell, 150 for the Pullman Company. 65 for Janus J. Belden, a n d 4 5 0 f o r t h e stage lines. The test were taken to t h e Safe Deposit Company, if he did not carry a n y t o h i s bouse. The witness said that Mr. Richmond, the Presi- dent of the Broadway Surface Road, employed Mr. Russell as counsel. H e w a s asked if tbe Seventh Avenue Company did not pay Mr. RueeeU, and said that be did not know. He had a receipt from Mr. Rus- sell for the bends paid to him. The receipt was given to him by Mr. Richmond. He did not know that Mr. Bliss was paid in money by tbe Seventh Avenue Road as well as with the bonds. The bonds for Mr. Bliss were not given to him, but their value was paid in cash. Mr. Richmond gave the witness $10,000 for them, the face value. The witness did not know what he did with the money. Mr. Sharp said be did not know whether he delivered tbe bonds to Vermilye & Co. on the same day that h e p u t them in the safe deposit vault. The ISO bonds set aside Tor the Pullman Company were for cars He did not remember the contract price for tbe cars. Tbe contract was made by Mr. Rich- mond as President of the Company. He be- lieved that Mr. Pullman charged about double what he ought to for tbe cars, not being cer- tain of tbe value of tbe Broadway Road's bonds. The witness was reimbursed for the cars by the Seventh Avenue Road, which paid $75,000 for them. He gave tbe 150 bonds to Mr. Rich- mond to carry out his agreement with the Pull- man Company, which was for fifty cars. The cars, he supposed, were worth $1,500 or $1,600 apiece. Mr. Sharp was asked where these 150 bonds now were. He replied that be didnt know, and had never inquired of Mr. Richmond what was done with them. He was asked if be supposed that Mr. Rich- mond had paid Mr. Pullman 150 5 percent, bonds of $1,000 each, having a premium of 7 per cent., in order to settle a debt of $75,000. He replied that Mr. Richmond said ha wanted the bonds for that purpose, a n d b e h a d never known him to he. H e w a s told that Mr. Pullman agreed to furnish the cars for 150 bonds. talk between h i m a a d M r . THE HIST0EY OF A VENDETTA.. He Fear Families Have Been Almost Ex- terminated. ST Louis, February 12.—The recent arrest of Tom Russell in Carbondale, Jackson County. 111., has revived interest in tbe most bloody vendetta ever fought in this country, which resulted^ in the almost complete extermination of four pow- erful families. Russell i s n o w held o n t w o i n - dictments for murder in the first degree, which have been pending ten years. Among the prominent families of farmers living in the western portion of Williamson County, HI., in 1872 were the Russells, Bul- uners, Hendersons, Cranes, and Sisneys. There were several grown sons and daughters in each family, and trouble between two of these started the feud. Election day in 1S73, the two families had a pitched battle at Craueville, in which two Bulliners and one Ru3sell were wounded. Then the frieuds of the combatants espoused their cause, until a half-dozen families were involved on each side. In December, 1S73, "old man" George Bulliner was shot from ambush and killed while on his way to Carbon- dale. He died calling on his boys to avenge his death. In March, 1874, whde David Bulliner, one of the boy?, was returning from church with a woman in a buggy, he was shot from a hedge and killed, and his companion dauger- ously wounded. The families were opposed in this wise : T h e Russells, Sisneys, Detruoros, and Henderson against the Bulliners, Hinchcliffes, and Ru Ids. Tbe score at this point stood t w o t o nothing in favor of the Russells. The night of the 15th of May, while Joseph Henderson was standing on his own doorstep, h e w a s shot and killed a n d a man named Jacob Detmore wounded. Two days later Detmore was ambushed and killed, thus tie- icg the score. October 24, Dr. Vincent Hinsh- cliffe was shot from behind and silled. One month later Levidus Rudd received a load ofTbuck- shot in the side. In January, 1874, G. W. Sisney was shot, but i©covered; August 9, he was shot with a rifle, but he again recovered; December 12, 1874, b e w a s a t home, surrounded by his eight children a n d a neighbor named James Hindman, when the glass in the window was broken b y a bullet aud Sisney fell mortally wounded. Two weeks later John Russell was killed on the streets of Marion, and the year 1875 opened with the Builineis one ahead. The Sheriff appealed to Governor Beveridge f o r a i d to stop the vendetta. Warrants were sworn out against a number of tbe members of all the families concerned. John Bulliner was sent up for life. Two of the Hen- dersons, one of the Cook, Coy le, and Crane fami- lies were sent to Joliet for long terms. Another of the Cranes was hanged. Tom Russell escaped, but returned a short time a g o a n d w a s arrested Nearly all the witnesses against him are dead. Two graveyards were started in the vicinity a s a result of the feud. A Female Treasurer's Unsuccessful Rase. ST. LOUIS. February 12. —Mrs. Julia Bartels, Treasurer o f t h e E v a Lodge No. 22, O. M. P., re- ported t o t h e i olice yesterday that her house had been robbed of $300. Officers who were detailed to make an examination of Mrs. Barters house reported that they could not find any traces o f a forcible entry, and alleged that s h e h a d admiatad to them that s h e h a d used the lodge money for private purposes. Important Arrest of Counterfeiters. LrrTXX ROCK, Ark., February 12.—A deputy United States Marshal yesterday arrested two men in this city on the charge of passing counterfeit money. Counterfeit coin was found i n o n e o f their trunks. The coin is of good mould a a d t h e m e n a r e believed to be mem- bers of an Arkansas gang. It is expected that startling developments will follow upon their ar- rest. A Mew Trial in the Storey Will Caae Refused. CHICAGO, February 12.—Judge Rogers this morning overruled the motion f o r a n e w trial in tbe Wilbur Storey wul case. He directed that the wul executed in February, 1881, be admitted to probata, The attorney for the blood heirs took aa SMMSOJ Foster a s to t h e pries at which the cars should he taken, and Mr. Foshay tried to batne him. "BMffla yea rmquired Mr. Conkling. [Laugh- ter.] "Tea," replied the witness with a prolonged drawl, which caused more laughter. " H e tried to get them for a little leas." Mr. Sharp said that the $75,000 was paid to him in cash He didnt remember what h e d i d with the money. H e w a s i n t h e habit of keep- ing large amounts of currency in his safe. About the time of the organisation o f t h e Broadway Railroad, in May, 1884, he made an arrangement with Mr. Belden, by which the latter got into tbe enterprise. Mr. Belden in- duced another man, whose name he didn't re- member, to subscribe for some of the stock. Mr. Belden did not subscribe for any stock himself ; a t least the witness did not think he did. H e d i d n o t know that Mr. Belden's friend ever paid anything. H e n o w remembered that the friend w a s C . W . Francis who subscribed for 100 shares, but never got any. The witness gave sixty-five bonds to Mr. Belden on account of Mr. Francis, to b e given to the latter for his stock subscription, which was turned over t o t h e witaesa Mr. Sharp said that be took most of the stock from the other rabscribers, but did not pay a n y o f t h e others, except that he might have given $500 or $1,000 to M r . M a y . Mr. Conkling asked if the only consideration for the sixty-five bonds with their premiums, amounting in value to about $70,000, which were given to Mr. Francis, was the fact that the lat- ter had subscribed for 100 shares of stock which he never got. Mr. Sharp made an answer which , was not direct, but involved a statement that when the stock was first offered, its value w a s , doubtful, and when the bonds were issued h e j gave Mr. Francis sixty-five of them. The witness was then questioned as to the pur- chase of the stage lines. A l l t h e stages were sold by the witness, together with some of the horses and tbe harnesses. H e g o t f o r them about $50,- ! 000. Some of the horses and other property were ' taken by the Seventh Avenue Road, which paid him over $200,000. He didnt remember what he did with the money h e g o t from the Seventh Avenue Road on that occasion. A mortgage made by the Seventh Avenue Rail- road for $500,000 was made, be understood, for the purpose of extending their depot, etc. It was not i made for the purpose of raisiDg money t o p a y the witness for the stage line property, a n d t o j reimburse him for various expenses. He never j heard of such a thing, and didn't believe i t w a s . so. Being again questioned as to what he did with the Broadway Surface bonds, the witness recollected that he gave thirty-nine to Mr, Kerr some time last fall. He got them out of the safe deposit vault, and gave thoni t o j Mr. Kerr at Mr. Scribner's office. Mr. Kerr said he wished to dispose of j Fome to his friends, including members j of his family and the President of the Pacific Bank, who wanted 10. Of these 39 bonds; 10 were i first m o r t g a g e and the other 29 second mortgage, j Mr. Kerr offered to pay the witness for them when he had sold 19, j but the witness told him to wait till he had sold j them all. The coupons of the two issues of bonds were payable at the Pacific and Broadway | Banks. Mr. Sharp was asked if he knew John Keenan. He replied that he knew him when he saw him. He did not know where Keenan w a s n o w , o r that he was out of the city. H e j had known "Billy" Malony, Steading | Clerk of the Board of Aldermen, for a ' number of years. He had beard through t h e i papers that Malony was now out of the city, ! but didn't know it otherwise. The witness said h e d i d n o t know whether h e I met various persons named at the Fifth Avenue j Hotel in tbe evening, while the Broadw ay Railroad project was being agitated. He had seen Mr. Malony and Mr. Disbecker at Mr. Scribner's of- fice during that period. He did not know whether he s»w Mr. Malony there as many as ten times, or whether Malony came in a cab or otherwise. He did not know that h e h a d m e t Malony in that office as often as three or four times a d a y . Mr. Sharp said that he did not know how the canvassers were paid who were scut out to get the consent of property owners to the building of the read. H e d i d n o t know whether h e m e t o n e o f them named' Powell at Mr. Scribner's office when Malony was there. The witness did not know the Lusiness which brought Mr. Malony to the office. He first knew Mr. Disbecker when the latter was a Police Commissioner. This was the Mr. Disfceokrr who was with him in Albany when the Railroad Act of 1884 was passed. The witness cashed a check for $74,- IUI at tbe Broadway Bank, in ISM, and gavo the money to Mr. Disbecker. He did uot take a re- ceipt for the money, which had never been paid lack to him. Edward Kearny never had any of the Broad- way bonds, and Mr. Bird dia not have any that he knew of. He did not know R. E. De Lacy, who was an Alderman. He never paid a carpenter for work on De Lacy's house in Fifth Street, or on any other house in that street. HEAVY STORM AND FLOOD. Blockade of the Pennsylva- nia Road at Trenton. Bridges Alone tbe Delaware Swept Away—Hig-h Water i n t h e Schuylkill and Susquehanna. TRKNTOM, February 12.—There is the most alarming freshet known here for yean. The lower part of the city is under water, and hun- dreds are homeless. Tbe bridge is intact, b u t a l l the telegraph wires crossing it are washed away. LATZR.—The river here has risen to a level with its banks everywhere. The tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad are under water, and all trains have stopped running. NKW BBCNSWICK, N. J., February 12.—The ice in the Raritan River broke daring the night and the river immediately overflowed its banks and submerged the lower part of the city. The rottenness of tbe ice caused it to break into too small cakes to form a gorge. Driftwood is rapid- ly going out to sea. Tbe water on Burnet Street is knee-deep, being navigable by boats. All busi- ness in the ship-yards and coal-yards along the river has been suspended, The fires in the fur- naces o f t h e N e w Jersey Rubber Company have been extinguished, and the works have been compelled to shut down. RABWAT, N. J., February 12.—The storm has been the most severe experienced in and around R a h w a y for years. The R a h w a y River is di- vided to the west of the city into two branches; both of these were swollen to immense propor- tions, and at the point of convergence, near the centre of the city, the river overflowed its banks, and for several blocks adjacent property was submerged. The greatest injury was to the large lumber- yard of Messrs. Ay res & Lufberry. Piles and logs were floating around, and many of them were carried down the river. Cellars wero flooded in all parts of the city, and iu the case of persons living along the river front communication with the city was only had by boats and rafts. The riv- er is spanned by some thirteen bridges, and much anxiety was felt through the night lest a repeti- tion of the g r e a t flood of 1SS2 would occur, when every bridge except t w o w a s swept awav. The ground being frozen prevents the rain from toaking in. It is again raining this morning, and alarm is prevalent. NYACK, N. Y., February 12.—The severest rain-storm of many years prevailed throughout Rockland County yesterday. The main tho- roughfare from Nyack to the interior of the county was covered with water to a depth of four feet, and travel in that way was rhut off. At Orangeburg the water was so deep over the Wot>t Shore Railroad tracks last night that the fires in the engines were put out, and trains wore thereby greatly delayed. Tho storm is still raging se- verely. HARTUSBURa, Pa., February 12.—The ice at this point on the Susquehanna is almost a foot thick and still remains unbroken. A break is ex- pected at any moment, however, as tho water is rising and liftingthe entire body with it. Work iu tbe puddle mill at tho Fair View Nail Works has been stopped on account of the hij^h water. LANCASTER, Pa., February 12.—The ice on tho river at Columbia is fourteen inches thick, and s-'ti 11 s o l i d . The water is rising slowly, but as the tributary streams are very high, a big flood is expectt-d to morrow. EASTON, Pa., February 12.—The Delaware and Lehigh Rivers are rising slowly. The former is eleven feet a n d t h e latter eight feet high. The Lehigh has overflowed its banks and stopped work in several of the mills in 8outh Eastou. ALBAKY, The Proposed Chance i n t h e Method of Paling the Health Officer. ISpedal Despatches to the Rvening Poet.l AxBAifY, IWataary 12.—The Senate Finance- Committee will oa Wednesday, at 3:30 p. M , give a hearing on Senator Griswold's Quarantine Bill, which places the Health Officer o n a salary. Senator Griswold says he expects a strong dele- gation from various commercial organizations in New York city. Hamilton's bill on quarantine, introduced to- day, differs from Senator Griswold's, in proposing to sweep away tbe Quarantine Commission as wen a s toe fees of the Health Officer. Tbe duties of the Quarantine Commissioners a r e , b y M r . Hamilton's bill, placed upon the Health Officer, into whose hands the entire care of the quaran- tine property Is given. Fees are abolished and the Health Officer's salary is to be $10,000, and be is given two assistants at $3,000 and $2,000 respectively. To this is to be added $6,000 for office expenses. Health Officer Smith published this morning a long statement relative to the income and condi- tion of his office, and the paper has had wide circulation among the members to-day. His statistics are based on the investigation of 1881, conducted by Senator Birdsall, showing the gross receipts for 1880 to have been $64,- 597 30; o u t o f this came $15,706 42 for expenses. On the statement of Dr. Smith tho JErpress (Rep.) opposes the pending quarantine bdls. A Fight over tho Capitol Appropria- tion. ALBAirr, February 12.—The Assembly had its first wrestle to-day with the new Capitol ques- tion. Mr. O'Brien's bill to appropriate $1,500,- 000 to continue the work provides for placing its further progress in charge of a commission of four State officers, thereby taking from Commis- sioner Perry the unrestricted authority that he now possesses over the plans and expenditures. Soon after the bill was referred to the Appro- priations Committee it was reported to be printed and recommitted. But the printed blank used in making this report from the Appropriations Committee was one calling for an absolute instead of a con- ditional report. The record, therefore, showed that the bill was before the Assembly. The money in the Treasury applicable to Capitol con- stiuction will bo exhausted to-day, and Commis- sioner Perry will to-night dismiss the working force. Taking advantage of this state of facts, an effort was made to push the pending bill t o a n immediate passage. Chairman Kruse, of tha Ap- propriations Committee, moved to recommit it to his Committee, whereupon a brisk skirmish was precipitated, the Democrats fighting for im- mediate consideration, and the Republicans for recommittal. Tbe latter were successful. The only break from a party vote was that Mr. Deiners, of Rensselaer (Rep.), voted with the Democrats. The fight as it occurred could not have taken place if the bill when reported fcr priming had been correctly reported. The Democrats are in favor of the largest pos- sible appropriation for tho Capitol. WASHIH&TBH. THE SHARPLESS MDRDER, Senator Edmunds on cret Sessions. NEW YOfiK LEGISLATUBE. Big Rise in the Schu.vlklll—Damage Done by the Flood Near Philadel- phia. TiirLADELPAiA, February' 12.—Yesterday's rain e u d t h a w caused a big rise in the Schuylkill above Fairmount. Schofield's Economy MUls, at Mnnayuuk, were flooded with m u d a n d water b u t t h e damage was slight. The basement of Campbell's Mill, near by, was also inundated and tho same state of affairs exists at David Wallace's Mill. On both sides of t h e j river below Fairmount dam, the tide which was last night above some of the wharves j is now subsiding and the water moving rapidly, carrying with it largo quantities of i ice and rubbish. At Gibeon'a 1'oiut seve- I ral barges were carried away, and it is j reported that one of the caissons of the now Bal- timore and Ohio Railroad bridge at dray's Ferry was injured.

Superintendent Baker presented the following mpplemcntary report concerning tho oo*t of em- ploying prisoners for the coming year: The agents and wardens at Auburn n n d D a n neniora estimate that it will require $1,100,000 fur conducting the State account industries es- tablished there for tho present tiscal year. There are about 400 idle convicts at Auburn that could IK-productively employed if thoJLegislaturomade an appropriation to purchase a plant and material for manufacturing: or au- thorized their employment by the pieee- ] price plan. The amount needed i to employ them on State account would depend j entirely ou the character of tbo industry aaopt- 1 cd.

I., February 12.—Since S o'clock yesterday afternoon heavy rain has been steadily falling, which, together with deep-lying snows, have flooded all the low-lying lands in tho neigh- borhood of Narragansett Avenue and Merchant Street. Cottage grounds are completely cov- ered, tops of fences four and five feet high being submerged. Inhabitants of cottages in that district are going to and from their resi- dtneesin boats. O n e m a n o n Narragansett Ave- nue rescued his aged mother from a lower cham- ber, carrying her on his buck to an upper room. It is estimated tbat at least fifty acres of land are underwater. Such an occurrence is a new evont here, where a flood was never thought of. Com- munication by read to Fort Adams is cut on* by the water. READING, P a , Febiuary 12.—Tho Schuylkill River at this point is ten feet above low-water mark and still rising at the rate of six inches per hour. An immense ice gorge formed about mid- night at Shoemakerville, fifteen miles north of here. Large blocks of ico were piled many feet high, and when the water rose t h e i c e w a s pushed on the adjacent low lands, sweeping away trees, fences, and small outbuildings and flooding u any farm houses. The gorge broke away this forenoon leaving a vast stretch of country a great field ©f ice. The river below Reading is twelve feet below low water murk. At Leesport, ten miles north, another dangerous gorge formed, but a channel was opened and the ico moved away. Mount Laurel stream emptying into the Schuylkill was never higher than now. by Exaggerated Aceount of Losses Western Storms. TOPEKA, Kansas, February 12.—C. G. Conant, ed.'tor Garden City Daily Sentinel, states that the Leavenworth despatch regarding losses by recent storms is greatly exaggerated. The number of persons frozen to death within a territory 140 by 100 miles was sixteen. The looses of cattle, he thinks, are within 20 per cent. Denouncing Bismarck's Polish Policy. CHICAGO, February 12.—A mass meeting of Polish citizens was held last evening in this city, the object of which w a s t o protest against t h e re- cent edict of Bismarck expelling the Poles from Prussian Poland. Speeches were made in Ger- man and Polish, the speakers indulging in fiery denunciation of tbe German Chancellor and Kaiser Wflhem's Government. After the orators had finished the following preamble and resolu- tions were unanimously adopted: Whereas. The decree of Bismarck against the Poles is the most barbaric infamy of any despot ai>d tyrant of modern times; and. Whereas, The outrage against the Poles cannot be looked upon as being directed against the much oppressed descendants of stolen Poland, b u t a s o n e against tbe human family, of which all nationali- ties are alike members: therefore, b e It Resolved, That a large demonstration be held to i aise an effective protest against th-- banishment of the Polish people from their homes and that all people of this city, regardless of nationality, be In- vited to take part In this demonstration.

His Own Statement o f H i s Viewg—Why Private Debate Is Sometimes Desira- ble tSpeelsl Despatches to t h e Evening Poet.l WABHTHSTOif, February 13.—The attention ef Senator Edmunds was this morning called to various publications t o t h e effect that h e h a d b e - come " a convert to open sessions " o f t h e Senate,. and that he hoped that tbe old custom of secrecy would be abandoned. To this Mr. Edmunds said : "The statement is entirely without founda- tion, and of course without authority. Undoubt- edly, in particular instances, it would be wise and right to take off tbe injunction of secrecy from Senate proceedings, both as" to treaties and nominations. But in general it must be plain that the discussion of treaties ought to be confidential, the same a s t h e discussion by a business firm of their business plans would be private and con- fidential between the gentlemen concerned. As to nominations, it often happens, that accusa- tiens against gentlemen nominated are made, of which the Senate feels bound, as a matter of justice and fairness, to inform the candidate without disclosing the names of the persons giving such information, in order that the gen- tleman concerned may have a fair opportunity to defend himself against false and scandalous charges. It would not be Vfor the public interest in such cases, where the defences ore complete, to pubbsh such things. Again it often must happen that, respecting the particu- lar qualifications, fitness, and capacity of a gentleman proposed for ais office there should be absolute freedom of discussion, without the fear of injuring the feelings of or wounding the sensibilities ot the candidate or his friends.

The supporters of the bill uow seem to think that Mr. Caswell will vote to report it, although upon what their hopes are based does not appear.

B, Suoalley, of the Democratic Na- tional Committee, to be Collector at Burlington, Vt. As everything that Mr. Edmunds has said was said in executive session, it is not possible to j verify the reports. But there is reason to be- lieve that he intends to treat the nomination of Mr. Smalley exactly as he will treat any other ' nomination ; that means undoubtedly that he will endeavor to see tho papers which may contain tho charges against Gen. , W ills, w h o w a s suspended to make the place for I 5?malley. and that, failing to secure this informa- i tion. he will reserve his decision.

Patents are trans- | ferable like other property. The good m a n t o : whom a patent is granted to-day may > sill it to a bad, selfish man to- i morrow. Is not this the very case | with the Bell patent ? Mr. Bell long ago sold out I t o a company which turned itself into a monopo- i l y , a n d i s n o w charging extortionate rates for bad service. A further amendment o f t h e l a w should provide that, in case a patentee sells out to a had man, the patent shall thereupon be ab- solutely null end void.

Se- The Man Who Confesses the Crl Only a Crank. Despatch to the Evens** Post 1 ALLERTOWN, Pa., February 12.—There has been a wide diversity of opinion a s t o whether John Cokely is or is not the murderer of John Sharpless, of Delaware County. He insists tbat he is, but fails to impress everybody with that fact. He has generally been believed to be a crank, or a man who is hard u p a n d wants to be sent to Delaware Coun- ty and enjoy the notoriety he will gain by his con- fession a s t h e murderer of the old Quaker. To-day he has been lees communicative than last evening, bat sticks to the assertion that the negro, Johnson, who is hold for tile crime, is innocent, and tbat he himself is the guilty person. He certainly shows a complete knowledge of the murder and an acquaintance with the Sharpless premises. He knows the names of the leading neighbors o f t h e Sharpless family, and seems to be anxious to be tried for the crime. He does not believe that he will hang, saying that the sentiment of the Quakers is against capital pun- ishment. Cokely does not have toe looks of a murderer if appearance c a n b e taken as a crite- rion. He slept well last night and appears at ease. At 1 o'clock this afternoon a despatch w a s r e - ceived from Chester that Cokely is a crank and that he was in jail there at the time of the Sharpless murder. GENERAL HANCOCK.

WACO, Tex., February 12.—A saloon on the principal thoroughfare of the city was entered by burglars early yesterday morning and the safe robbed of $1,100 in cash. The robber* opened tho safe'by drilling a small hole over the lock, 12^.—The buTglary was solved in an unex- pected} manner. Early this morning Deputy- Sheriff Bob Ross, with a couple of assistants, started out to beat the bush for Henry Tickle, the Navarro County outlaw, who had been dis- covered the evening before by Sheriff Whaley in tbe creek bottom-lands. T h e m e n fired on each other, and Tickle w a s h i t twice, but owing t o t h e darkness he made bis escape in the woods. Deputy Ross concluded Tickle would be unable to go far on account of bis wounds. Ross and his companions beat the bush all day for many miles, finally entering Axtel! Station, ten miles east of here. At this place they leained of the safe robbery. They had not ridden far from the station before they came upon two young men, whereupon they dis- mounted, a n d o n e o f t h e officers remarked: " W e did not make much of a haul on the train; let's see what we have here," alluding to the fruitless search they had made on a train at Axtell for Tickle. The young men took the officers for train robbers, and became greatly alarmed. They immediately handed out $1,000 to the supposed robbers, but begged that they be allowed to keep their bag- gage, which they said contained their working tool*. An examination revealed that the bags contained a complete set of fine burglars' tools. The men were arrested aud brought here. They pave their names as James Emerson and Charles Camel on, and are each about thirty years old. They confessed the robbery. A EEWP0ET SENSATION. A \\<;.!tliy Citizen t'.SJ on a Chartce of A-"mill.

He will meet the pall-bearers a t t b e Battery and will probably accompany them as far as Philadelphia The Navy-yard will be represented at the fune- ral at Trinity Church by twenty officers, who will leave on the Government tug Catalpa, and land at the foot of Rector Street on the North River. Captain A. P. Cook, Commander J, C. Watson, Medical Inspector J. C. Spear, and Chief Engineer E. D. Robie have been detailed by Commodore Chandler to accompany the body to Norristown, whore the burial will take place. Lieutenant Nichols of the Navy-yard visited Governor's Island this morning and tendered t h e u s e o f o n e o f the navy- yard tugs to carry the body and the funeral party from the island to the Barge Office. The coffin will be carried through the Barge Office and placed in a hearse. The pall-bearers and the relatives will follow the hearse m carriages, and the military part of the parade, consisting of Batteries I. A, H, and K of tho Fifth ArtiUory, under command of Major Richard H. Jackson, will follow. The military will march as infan- try with reversed arms. Minute guns will be fired by a detachment of the battery on Governor's Island from the time the body is carried from the hearse until the pro- cession reaches Trinity Church, and alsj while the body is being taken from tbe church aud across the river to the Pennsylvania Railroad depot in Jersey City. The officers detailed from the Navy-yard will not tie in full uniform. Relatives and intimate friends of General H ancock.with the j>all bearers and mem- bers of the press, will be admitted to the church through the north door. A large number of pews have been reserved for the pall-bearers, re- latives, and delegations from military, Grand Army posts, and civic organizations. A special train will convey the funeral party to Philadelphia, where a halt of fifteen minutes will be made, as it will be necessary to make a transfer to another train. The funeral proces- sion wiU probably reach Norristown about three o'clock to-morrow afternoon. After the ceremonies at the grave are concluded, tbe guard of honor will return at once to this city on a special tram. Captain Wallace F. Randolph, in command of thirty-seven enlisted men of Light Battery F of tho Fifth Artillery, left Governor's Island this morning for Norristown. He will have command of the ceremonies at the grave and will be assist- ed b y a committee of Hutchinson Commandery of Knights Templar of that place. The followinsr officers were detailed to watch the body last night : Capt. R. N. Young, Lieut. S. E. Allen, Lieut. W. B. McCullum, and Lieut. C. E. Wood. It still remains in the room where the General died, but wall be brought down stairs and placed in the front parlor of the building at 4 o'clock this afternoon, Mrs. Hancock was feeling much better this morn- ing; she slept well during the night. She wall not accompany the funeral procession to this city or Norristown. There were few visitors to the island to-day, but many communications from individuals and organizations expressing regret and sympathy were received. Among them was the following: STATE OF ("OSKEITKTT, I AOJCTANT-GENEHAI-V OFFICE, - HAHTFOPJJ, February 9, 18S*J. \ GENFRAT, OKPTCII NO. 2 : 1. With sorrow the Commander-in-Chief an- nounces to the Connecticut National (iuarj the j death of Major-General w". 8 . Hancock. He was a ^reliant Bcntleinan and a Just soldier. At Gettys- burg and on many other fields of battle be won liiKh distinction by his courage, his skill, and his stt adfast devotion *o his country. '2. 1 n honoring his memory flags will be displayed at half-mast upon the arsenal and armories from the publication of the order until the close o f t h e day of his funeral, and st Hartford on that day ihirteen guns will be fired at interval-* o! ten minutes, rxginningat 3 o'clock i n t h e afternoon. Uy order of the Commander-in-Chief. STKPHILN H. SMITH, Adjutant-General. The G. A. R. Department of New York, through the Department Commander, H. Clay j Hall, has adopted appropriate resolutions of condoler.ee over the death of General Hancock. Wilde Post, No. 25, G. A. R., of Chester, Pa, has ajso forward**! to Gau^ral Whipple resolu- i lions of gympatby. At the special meeting of tbe Board of Alder- • men held to-day to take action on the death of Genera] Hancock, a message was read from the Maj or referring to the distinguished services of the illustrious dead. Alderman Ryan offered re- i solutions exi.res-sing sorrow for the death of Gen. Hancock, and recommending that Saturday b e j generally obrei ved a s a hobday by the citzens a n d j fcuggestirg that all places of business be closed, and that a committee of five members b e a p - | jointed to represent the city government at the | fmjeral. Alderman Morgan, a former member • of the Army of the Potomac, seconded the adop- tion of the resolutions. Mr. Morgan was followed j by Aldermen Quinn and Mooney, who spoke t o I i-imilar purjose. The resolutions were adopted by a rising vote. President Mooney appointed i as the Committee Aldermen Ryan, Morgan, (^a'TiD, Corcoran, and Mooney, and by motion j ii« Pre^dent was made an ex-oflicio member. The manufacture of large storage batteries for electric lighting of houses, factories, railroad trains, and especially places where steam power is easily obtained, continues to make headway in this country, although it has apparently come to a standstill in England, owing to the provision of law by which the English Government h a s t h e right to step i n a t t b e e n d o f twenty years and take the business at the cost of the plant, with- out reference to the value of the business. Inventors find it impossible to interest capitalists upon such terms, and a number of Engbsb electric-light companies have given up business in consequence. In Uiis city several companies are still at work upon she problem of furnishing electric light at a cost not greatly exceeding tbat of gas. The Faurc bat- teries, which were"brought over here in 1SS2 with many flourishes of trumpets, proved to be trou- blesome, owing to the rapid deterioration of the plates, the heating ef the batteries, a n d t h e for- mation of noisome gases. At present some trains on the Pennsylvania Railroad are lighted b y t h e batteries of one com- pany which has spent a fortune in attempts to make a serviceable battery. Another company which has made a specialty of small pocket bat- teries for medical purposes has nearly completed tests which were considered necessary before large batteries built upon this plan could be sold for house lighting. A reporter of the EVXNTNOI POST MW th's morning an experimental battery of cell?, which has been ored for the last seven months to light an office in Beekman Street. The cells are eight inches wide, eleven inches long, thirteen inches high, and weigh, with five lead plates, fifty-six pounds apiet'e. Tbe electromo- tive force of each cell is two volts, and twenty cells are coupled together in onl?r to run four- tsen swan lamps requiring forty volts. The lamps are supposed to give sixteen candle-power light, but fall short by several candles. Each lamp uses one aud one-half ampere of current. For the last seven months a dynamo requiring one and one-half horse -power has been used to charge the batteries for six hours every morn- ing. At the end of the chargo the dy uamo is disconnected and the fourteen lamps are r un for seven hours s'.eadily. The gradual dimuni- tion in tbe brilliancy of the lamps is alm-Jst im- perceptible when the seven hours have elapsed. Estimating the cost of running tbe dynamo a t 2 5 cents for the s^x hours, it is evident that elec- tricity under such conditions is cheaper than gas. The light from a storage battery is of course ideally steady, which cannot be said when the current is sent directly from the dynamo to the lamp. Where steam p>wer is at hand, the cost of charging is almost nominal. So far the lotteries present not tbe slightest evidence of deterioration; the plates do not warp, no salts are formed, and no un- pleasant gasfs. When the light* have r u n a f e w months longer the company will IK> ready to sell batteries and guarantee their duration and effl ciency. For railroads this company proposes to put its l»atteries in one end of the baggage-car and charge from a small dynamo geared to the axle of the car. The stoppage of the train will m.iko no difference in the light. With a battery weigh- ing one ton a whole train could be light/sl. ac- cording to the "estimates of the inventor. Rev. George F. Pentecost, D. !>.. will preach in the Collegiate Church, Forty-eighth St. and 5th Ave. to-night a t 8 o'clock.-Adrt. General Crook's Moa«nres to Keep the Apachfs In Check. SANTA Ffe, N. M., February 12.—Advices have boon received at military headqusrters here from Fort Bo .vie, Ariz., to the effect that General Crook leaves thereto-day to meet Chief Geronimo at the Mexican line and cunfer concerning the surrender of the Apaches n o w o n t h e warpath. Lieutenant Mnus arranged for the in;>cting a month ago, and the Apaches have so far kept the contract then entered into. The hostiles are worn and starved. General Crook will adopt more stringent measures than ever to keep the Apaches on the reservation. The system of counting will be changed'from the heads of the families to the chiefs and sub-chiefs. The latter will be responsible to the chiefs, and the chiefs directly accountable to the agents for every adult in their band. The White Mountain Apaches are now held in the immediate vicinity of the agenciee, where they can be seen. Any Indian suspected of preparing to leave the reservation is put into the guard-house and his horses and arms confiscated. General Crook thinks this system will prevent an outbreak in the spring. SAN FRANCISCO, February t2.—A despatch was received yesterday at Presidio from Lieu- tenant Maus, w h o i s n o w a t t h e S a n Ber^rdino ranch, a few miles from the boundary o n ti:? Arizona side. He will remain at his present camp f o r a f e w days, when he will continue his march to Fort Bowie. No further news of the recent encounter between Americans and Mexi- cans near Nacori, Mexico, was contained i n t h e despatch. Court of Appeals Decisions.

NORRISTOWN, Pa,, February 12— Theloral com- mittee of arrangements b i s n o t announced any programme for the obsequies c' the latt Major- Oeneral Hancock, and probably will not. The body will be taken from the ears at the De Kalb Street stati .n of the Pennsylvania and Sehujlkill Valley Railroad, where a hearse and sixteen carriages will be in wait- ing. Tbe train will proceed with all visiters who prefer remaining on board te the station at tbe cemetery. Tbe funeral procession wdl pass through Main Street from De Kalb to the cemetery, a distance of about one mile. There will be a large procession of citizens, but probably no organizations, as such, in the line. The visitors escorting the body will l>e enter- tained by Prof. T. 8. C. Lowe at Lis residence near the cemetery. The Town Council will hold a special meeting to-night to make any further arrangements necessary. The on Undcrvalua- Sub-commUree tions. The Sub»committee of the Senate Committee on Finance are in this city, and will immediately enter upon the investigation of undervaluations, etc. It is not expected that the Committee will be absent from Washington more than a week or j j ^ ^ AT ' ten days at this time. Tbe Committee consists of William B. Allison, of Iowa; Nelson W. Aid- rich, of Rhode Island; Warner Miller, o f N e w York, Republicans, and James B. Beck, of Ken- tucky, and John R. McPherson, of New Jersey, Democrats. The subjects of inquiry are as fol- lows: Suggestions a s t o changes in penaltv for under- valuations where there are any allegations of fraud. What changes are desirable in methods of ap- praisement, especially a s to consigned goods? Khould consuls be required to make estimates of market value for use of appraisers ( What changes are desirable in methods of re- appraisement ? Should this be done b y a n o r - ganization of the Board of General Appraisers ? Should tbe employment of merchant appraisers be discontinued I H o w c a n uniformity of rates at the different ports be best secured ? Should tbe Government have a remedy f o r t h e value of goods against the importer where fraud can be proven t What, if any, additional system of rewards to meritorious officers should be adopted ? rihould section 16 o f t h e a c t o f 1874 be repealed ? If so. for what reasons ? Should the burden of proof rest upon tbe Government in cases of f or- teiture for fraud, or upon the claimant ? Should damage allowances be discontinued f What change should be made in the existing system of drawbacks for exported merchandise ( Opinion a s t o t h e recommendations of the present Secretary of the Treasury in regard to protests and appeals. The Judgment \(rainst Western Union. There wa« a large gathering in the City Hall at noou to-dav in response to tbe announcement that the real estate of the Western Union Tele- graph Company w a s te b e sold by the Sheriff for non-payment of a judfrment of about f 150,000. Ex-Deputy Sheriff Shelley representing Alex- ander V. Davidson, late Sheriff, was on hand. Mr. Cummings, of Vanderpoel, Green & Cummings, representing the Western Union Telegraph Company, asked for an adjournment of six weeks. A representative of the Attomey-Generrl protested against any further adjournment. Mr. Shelley, however, announced an adjournment until March 12, prox. In explanation of his position Mr. Shelley said that the law was clear in this matter, and that it states that the personal property must be disposed of before the realty is levied upon. He concluded by saying be did not know of any understanding there might be between the Attorney General and the counsel to the company. " There may have been a law- suit," said Mr. Shelley, " b u t n o notices have been served upon Sheriff Davidson. I think the matter will be settled. I shall call upon t h e A t - torney General and ask him to relieve Mr. David- sou of all responsibility in the matter. The State cannot lose anything by the operation as the com- pany's personal property is woat-h o v e r ^.VJO.iiOO.'* An Elegant Table d'Hote Dinner at Hotel Brunswick, r,.M to 8 p. st., daily, for $1 50. -adt'U I»!er?ilatttHm*i iUu'to.
