Financially Embarrassed, Afflicted with a Chronle Disease and lu Fear of Approach jug Insanity, He Profers Death to Life Under Such" Conditions A Tragedy at the Horton House This Horning. At half past nine o'clock thia morning the report of a thirty eight caliber pistol sounded the death knell of John Bouke, an old man verging on to Beventy years, who committed suicide in the ouiiara room immediately over the Hquor storo of Mr. Frank R. Horton at tho corner of Hoyt and Fulton streets. I knew Bouko for twenty yours," said Mr.

Horton to an Eagle reporter ho waa at one time a prosper ous business man. With a partner he owned a cutlery aud hardware store in John street, New York. He was unmarried, and some time ago I used to meet him at Johnny Force's old place In High street. Ho was then iu good circumstances and was noted for his kindly disposition. Ho wbb affable, of a jovial temperament but.

while he drank, he never drank to excess. He waa a man who lived well and did not stint him self. Twenty years ago ho became a confirmed rheumatic, aud the complaint got such a hold on blm that it incapacitated him for business, and ho finally retired with a small competency. ThiB money he has boon living on, and as ho has nevor been able to add to it by roason of his 1)1 health, I suppose he has become destitute. He waB In the habit of coming to every day.

He boarded uptown In Fulton Btreot, but usod to ride downtown each morning and read the papers. The billiard room above tho store Is generally locked In the morning, but Bouke usod to got the key and go up stairs and sit by the store aud road. This morning he came in as usual. I was not bora, but he got a couple of BhoetB of letter paper and wrote two notes. One was for me.

and tho other was for a friend of his, Mr. Clark, of No. 210 NasBau street. When I got to tho store I went upstairs; this was about five minutes after Bouko got tho key of tho room from tho I oxpected to find hiin reading near tho stove, but I saw him lying down be Bido tho billiard table, and as I approached I saw blood on tho floor and a pistol in his right hand. I then ran downstairs, for the sight caused quito a shock, and got assistance.

Sergeant Barwick caino In, and sent an officer to take charge of the body." Did the dead man havo any relatives No, only a brother in South America, at least that is all we know of." HE TELLS THE REASONS WHY. The letter which was loft for Mr. Horton waa as fol lows Horton House, 440 Fulton streot. Ifr h' ft. Ilnrlon: Dear Sir For your many kindnesses plcnsa accept my very Bincoro thaukB.

I am totally ruined financially my health, as you know, is bad had inflammatory rheumatism for over twenty years, which has mado a completo wreck of mo, 1 feel paralysis approaching. These, with want of sleep, have many a time ap nroached insanity. To live longer is Idle. Tho last hope I have left is if yon with a fow friends can prevout my body from being buried In Potter's Field. Please address my vory old friend William Find lav (ovor thirty vearal.

Ronkonkoma, L. I. If ho knows iu time he, I am sure, will provent my body boing buried in Potter's Field. God bless you. My hope Is you may prosper.

Fare well. Yours, J. Bouke, Mr. Horton will see that Bouko has a decent burial. The inquest will be held on Monday next by Coronor Wenninger.

Many people notioad the old man from tho fact that Sijminor nd Winter he always woro arctlo overshoes. This was on account of hiB rheumatism. MUNICIPAL HATTERS. Guarding Asraiust the Cholera The City Debt A New Brewer) Tho Aldermanic Committee ou Public Health last night heard Health Commissioner Eaymond aud others in reference to tho proposed ordinanoo giving tho com missioner power to abolish or amend the construction of privy vaults. Commissioner Raymond, in urging tho adoption of tho ordinanoo, quoted from tho resolu tions of tho recent sanitary oonfereuco at Washington, of which ho was a member.

Ho laid stress particularly upon the following That all authorities of StatoB, cities or villages be urged to adopt measures which will result in the amelioration of all conditions such as have besn referred to in tho foregoing propositions, with tho warning that, in tho opinion of this conference, such conditions, if permitted to continue, will greatly promote the sproad of cholera when it comes, and with tho assurance that, if roquisite measures ara promptly taken to remove them, tho disease will be less likely to attack a community so prepared, and. If attacked, such a community will be better able to copo witli the disease and to reduce its ravages to a mini mum." Commissioner Eaymond eaid thoro wore 10,000 of these vaults in Brooklyn and they were a Bource oi disease. The Washington Conference unanimously recommended the abolition of such vaults as a oonatant cause of danger. Ho said ho should spare no effort to abolish those In Brooklyn. He took It for granted that tbe cholera would extend to this country next Spring or Summer.

Coronor Menningor supported the pro posed ordinance and said In cases where thore were no BeworB in tlio streets tho vaults euouia no maao as harmless as possible. Alderman Mathis intimatod that the ordinance was too radical in character, and a Mr. Sheridan, of Myrtle avenue, opposed it, saying it was for the bonefit of the plumbers. The committee did not take final action, in order that tho opponents might be heard further. The committoe decided to report in favor of filling three pump wells.

At eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon a littlo girl, running acroBs Washington stroet, near Front, saw a man, who had besn walking up Frout street, reel from the eldewalk to the ourb and fall in tho middle of the thoroughfare, Somo citizens in the neighborhood plckod him up and au ambulanco was called. Ho was romovod to tho Cumberland street Hospital.

Progress of tho Brooklyn EleTated Rail roadThe Motiye Power to bo Locomo tives Nothing Said About the Fare. "Work along the route of tbo Brooklyn Ele votcd Railroad Is boiug pushed forward as rapidly as circumstances will admit. On Broadway, out to East New York, aud also at other points tho operations of the men engaged In putting up tho Iron work havo been Interfered wltn by the ruuulng of the Btreot cars. Ou that account it was at times necessary for them to work only during tho night, aud the progross mado was conBcquontly rather slower than It otherwise would have been. This work is uow well advanced along tho entire route and this morning an Eaiiix reporter obtained from a gentleman occupying a responsible position in the company tho first anthoiitatlvo statement respecting the timo when the road will bo into operation.

Being asked whether tho road would ba iu oporatlon by Slay 1 of ueit year, he said "Yes, you can atate that with certainty. 1 Will it be runnliffe bofora that dato?"

tho At tending Phvsicians Say A Martyr to Science. To morrow's Eagle will prouiVbly contain an account of tbo death of Dr. Georgo H. Atkinson, wIiobo unfortunato blood poisoning experience was published last night. The doctors attending tho patient havo coino to tho conclusion that tho body and boui oi the unfortunate man will part within twelve hours.

Doctors McCorklo and Wost drop into tho residence of Dr. Atkinson, 97 Henry stroet, occasionally, whilo Dr. Pierce, tho associate of the eick man, is ever ut tho bedside. It was a weary that was spont in tho houso last night by Mrs. Atkinson, Edtraril M.

Atkinson and Dr. Pierce. The heavy aud laborious breathing oi the patient was oppressive, and his ovidont dcHiro to cotn mnnicato with thoso about him was painful to behuld. No signals but by eyelashes and fingers of tlio loft baud wero possible, and thoso were often misconstrued. Anon stimulants, such as digitalis, mix vomica or qm nine.wcro given by aid of a sponge to moisten the tonguo of tho Buffering man and koop intact what little strength remained to him, but no boneficiai cfl'ocU were ever noticeable.

Gradually tho Doctor is sinking, and nothing ou earth, tlio doctors say, can prevent his death. To an Eagle reporter Dr. 1'lorco said to day: "Tho active poison has boon eliminated by tho mercury tlio doctor hai taken, but tho moro chronic chaugos which usually occur after threo to ton yoaro Have occurred with unusual rapidity in this caso. Thoro is probably a deposit of Boiio sort at tho baso of his brain, shutting off part of tho blood supply to tho nervo contort Iu all probability tho pueumogastrlo nervo is mainly in volved. There is no othor way to account for tho doctor's sudden fuiluro of heart powor.

Thero is caso Bomowhat eimllar reported by Dr. Tayior, of Now Yorft, iu tho Xew York Medical Uccrd of 1876. That caso, liko this, culminated after betweou fivo nnd six mouths." Asked if Professor Kees, of Bellcvuo Hospital, hal not expressed au opinion that Dr. Atkinson would recover, Dr. Pleico answered in tho affirmative.

he added, tbnt was on Saturday last, and nil tho other doctors then agreed with him excopt ono." It is duo to Dr. Armour to eay that on tho aftornoon of tho day ho first saw Dr. Atkinson hs expressed a professional opinion that tho doctor would die. Profossor Koes, who makes a specialty of blood pjisouing cases, has not scon Dr. Atkinson but once, and is now spoud ind his Christmas holidoy3 at his homo iu Lakewqod, N.

J. I was with Dr. Atkinson on that day in continued Dr. Pierce, "and I aided in tho surgical operation that was performed." It was whilo administering tho other that tlio pa tient's hand gave a convulsivo jerk and scratched Dr. AtkiiiBon on tho linger.

Tho scratch wasn't much Jnrgcr than tho head of a pin, but the doclor laughed and Btuck his fiuger iu his mouth and sucked it. Then ho went about tbo operation and completed it. Iho doctor was a marshal on tho night of tho Blaluo parade, and although ho wore a rubber suit his head aud neck woro completely soakod with tlio terrible rain of that night. It waa from that time the doctor dnttB bis trouble. It was on the next mornlug that tho headache first afflicted him, and since that time his headaches have been terrible.

Tho doctor did not know, oven aftor tho surgical opcrotion had been performed, that ho bad been Inoculated with virus, but an explanation of this can only be published in a medical journal. Ho thought tho soro ou his linger was paronychia. I don't think tho primary at which ho was electol preBident of tho First Ward Republican Association excited him unduly. His canvcsi was conducted by Alderman Dlmon and Mr. Robert Sedgwick, and his election being ossurod ho did not tronb'o him elf a great deal, but other matters did, I think, exclto him rather much.

St. Louis, December 27. The cashier of the Hotel Moaer Is gone, and likewise 1,800 of his employer's mouoy, $700 of Mb wife's money and a pretty lady guest of tho hotel.

The cashier's name lft, Joseph A. Kuhn. Two years ago he came from the Atlantic Hotel in Chicago. He married well to do Cincinnati lady six months ago. A few weeks since he made tbe acquaintance of a brunette who was quartered in the hotel.

Christmas morning he left home with all the money in the house, roouea the hotel safe of $1,800, and then decampod with his new acquaintance SOCIALISTS. Militiamen GKiarcling a Chicago Armory. Alarm Felt by the Authorities The Effect of Thanksgiving1 Day's Demonstration aud the Display of the Black Flag: Two Companies of Socialists Organized and Equipped with Rifles Precautionary Measures to Save the State Arms and Ammunition. CmcAGO, December 27. It is learned that an armed guard was stationed at the First Regiment armory Wednesday niglit despite the assertions to tho contrary mada by some of tho officers.

Christmas eve a party was given by ono of the companies, and in the course of conversation it was suggested tiiat it would be a very easy matter tor a body of men to enter tbe building and captuto the Tho demonstration mado by the Socialists Thanksgiving day, at which tho black ilsg was displayed for the fir.it time in Chicago, was talked about, and some one said that a more violent demonstration might occur that night. If there was to be an outbreak it was imprudent to leave tho armory unprotected. Filially, ten mon voluutorcd to remain ou guard during the night, aud tho adjutant ordered ton rounds of ammunition to be served out to eacii man. All aigut long the guard paced up aud dowu, but tuo ouemy did not appear. Colonel E.

B. Knox told a reportor yesterday tnat ne intended having a regular detail stationed at tho ar mory. He had received information, he said, that four regular companies of Socialists had been organized in tho city, and at least two of them woro equipped Wltn breech loading rifles. An organized outbreak niigut occur at any moment, and ho thought it prudent to tako every precaution, so as to defend tbe arms and am munition belonging to the militia. AT ALBANY.

fi'oliaicians Working SIar8 for the Senatovahip. Morion's Brooklyn Friend Making No An tagonisms, but Doing; His Best for the Millionaire Minister Sheriff Daridson's Answer to the Charires Made Against Aim The President Elect Hires a House, The Race for the Speakership. Special to the Eagle. Albany, December 27. Dutcher.

fairy like fingers arc toying vory a cntly with the Sonatoiship. He is as bland as a book and not a shade less persistent, but whoever elected ho will have niado no enemies. On the occasion of his last visit hero ho informed your correspondent that his attitude was evidently much misunderstood Ho was not against Arthur, nor indeed was he antag onistic to any of tho candidates. The trouble with Ar. thur was that his own friends weio divided.

Ho did not know who would bo eloctod Senator, but it looked to him as thoush Morton was in tho lead. Ho is now reported to bo in Washington, wlioro Morton's interests are said to havo called him. Somo of Dutclier's frieuds here say that there may bo contingencies, and not vory remote ones at that, which will rondor hiB own elcc. Hon tho true of what promises to ba a very embarrassing problem. It is certain that If Dutcher is ever seriously considered as a candidate he will he re ceived with cordiality where other aspirants would bs aura of a freezing rccoptlon.

Ho has the happy faculty of bdug politically actlvo without creating hostile sen timents iu tho minds of those to whom he is opposed. When the Arthur men ask him why he is against tho President he begs to assure thorn that they are altogether in tho wrong; that all he wants is to see a selection niodo which will harmoniza conflicting elements. If It can be shown that Arthur's election will involve that devoutly to bo wished for consummation, then 5 is for Arthur, but tho truth, ho submits, is that he is for tho party first and individuals afterward. Tho last obstacle encountered by tho parties to tho combination adverse to tho St. Lawrenco County candidato is Johnny O'Brien's implacable hostility to Huubell.

HubbeH's differences with O'Brien dato back to tho tima when Hoosovolt was causing a stir in the and when a movement was made to turn O'Brien out of tho Metropolitan Bureau of Elections. O'Biion's natural inclinations aro said to lead him in tho direction of an alliance against Erwin, but Hubboll favored tho movement spoken of, aud the result is that it would bo suicide to tnko him lip as a candidate, Mr. Erwin's recent visit to New York was not without significance. Ho is credited with having made an alliance with Hustcd, but Iho Bald Eagle boldly flaps his wings and says that ho is perfectly free from any understanding, tacit or otherwise, with any of his rivals. Husted's strength is an unknown quantity.

Wo may havo enough votes to deliver at tho right timo to secure him tho leading chairmanship, or ho may bo mado tho focus of a movement by which at tho last moment a stampedo to Erwin can bo prevented. Ex Secretary Evarts gets a good ileal of support from the newspapers, aud dotermiuod efforts are boing made to create in his favor among constituencies a BenUmcnt which will moke itself felt upon the representatives. The President elect received tbis morning an invita tion from the City Club, of Buffalo, to attond a charity ball to bo hold thore January 9. He has accepted. Sheriff Davidson has filed an answer to the chargos preferred against him.

His counsel. Burke Cochrano, aye that the document denies tho irregularities set forth in the oomplaiut, and that as soon as it became known that overcharges were being mado tho Corporation CounBel was aEkcd to computo the amount duo the city bo that it might be returned. This was done and tho money placod in the Controller's hands. Tho answor also BtateB that measures have boon takon to prevent any repetition of such overcharges which wero unin tentionally made, if at all, aud which do not constitute irregularities. Tho opinion prevailing hero is that no investigation will bo ordered by th Governor.

The fact that the President elect has rented a nouBe here fronting on Washington Park is taken as indicating that ho will remain in Albany until within a few days of tho inauguration. He has hired from Mrs. J. O. Towner the premises at HO Willett Btreoc from January 1 to March 1.

Amoug the visitors yesterday were Colonel McClure and Dr. Mary Walker. The Colonel succeca.au in oo talnlng an Interview but tho lady was not so fortunate. An altercation with a hackman, in which the latter waa altrgether overmatched, gavo tho crowd in the recep tion room an opportunity to study tno memoas nnu manners of tho physician.

City Fathers Summoned to Appear Before the Grand Jury Tho Reappearance of a Once Powerful Politician John Kelly's Condition Mayor Edson's Nominations. Aldermen with flushed faces wero husizing and out of the New York City Had this morning like a swarm of angry hornets. Several of tho number had beon summoned to appear before tho Grand Jury on Monday next, presumably to glvo testimony con cernfbg the charges of bribery which have boen made by persons whoso names are not beforo tho public. It is generally understood, however, that members of the Citizens' Association aro responsible for the agitation of the Aldermen. This association was called into existence by Mayor elect Grace, and it Is beblud him In the present fight over Hubort O.

Thompson's official position. The subpoenaed Aldermen claim that the association Is endeavoring to play upon their fcara, and threaten to retaliate. They can't scare me with their talk about bribory," said Alderman Duffy of Tammany Halb I think of offering a resolution calling for au Investigation into the acts of the Citizen's AsocIatIon. I have received letters from them that perhaps their Mayor wouldn't like to see brought to light. Tha man who offers a bribe is as bad as tho one who takes it, and the Citizen's Association should remember this fact." The Alderman's remarks were intended, without doubt, to convey the impression that cortaln promises were mado to him, their fulfillment being contingent upon his snpport of Mayor Graco.

Commissioner Thompson's friends wero busy this morning circulat ing rumors that certain Tammany and Bepublioan Aldermen, not named, would be arrested. It Is believed that they were also responsible for the rumor that Mayor Edson's arrest was contemplated. This rumor waa based on the private conferences which the Mayor has had from time to timo with Be publlcan and Tammany Aldermon. Commissioner Thompson's friends assert that the Mayor has more than intimated that in the event of tlio confirmation of Gouoral Fitz John Porter as suc cessor to the present Commissioner of Publlo Works, a Republican would be appointed Deputy Commissioner; further, that Republicans would be taken care of iu other quarters. Politicians of all grades conceded that Commissioner Thompson would resort to oxtrememeaB ures for the purpOBO of retaining Mb office, and aa a consequence when Police Inspector Byrnes called upon the Mayor this morning, there were thoso who believed that he bad come down to tho City Hall to arret Mr.

Edson. Such waa not the object of tho Inspector's viBit. Arter calling upon the Slayor ho visited Police Captain Steers, in tho basement of the City Hall. The Inspector is undsrstood to havo made somo inquiries concerning tho llepubllcan Aldermen in tho Controller's office. While tho crowd of politicians wore waiting for the Board of Aldermen to conveno Colonel John H.

Mor rey, secretary to John Kelly, appeared in the cinity of the Hall. When questioned concorniug Mr. Kelly's condition the colonel said: "Mr. Kelly is improving rapidly. On Christmas day he took a ride In the Baddle through Central Park.

His physicians will not allow him to go down to his office, becauso they say he nosds some rest. Ho did a groat deal of hard work during tho Iaet political campaign and needs relaxation. I have no doubt that within a fow days ho will bo ready and able to nioet his frionds as usual at his of Ilea" Another politician attracted some attention tho man was "Prince Harry" Genet, the cx Sonator who, iu Tweed's time, wore diamonds as large as filberts and had greenbacks galore. Since Genet's releaso from prison he is said to havo had a run of hard luck. Ho opeued a gorgeous liquor ealoon convenient to the City Hall, and in a short time was obliged to sell out.

Ho wagered his money on race Iioubos, and tho fatc.i were still against him the cards wore qnito as unlucky. But to day ho seemed to be more at ease, and in a happier frame of mind than tho Aldorinan who wears tho largest diamond in the Board. Ho drosses his form is still erect, his step light and springy, aud tho only evidences of tho troubles he has passed through aro his Bilvered hairs, and tho deep lines which mark his roaoluto face. Tho Aldermon met at ono o'clock, and at that time tho genoral Impression was that an attempt would be mado to confirm Mayor Edson's nominations. Johnny O'Brion, the Republican leader, camo into tho chamber with a smiling faco, and held a brief conversation with Alderman Duffy.

Tha report ran around tho chamber that Tammany and the Roimblicans had effected a combination. The Board passed upon several general or ders, and then had a long wrangle over the proposed granting of a lease to the Fulton Market Fishmongers Association. Whilo tho Aldermen woro wrangling Alderman Duffv said to a friend'. Thn Mtvror will sond In Alderman Grant's namo as successor to Commissioner Thompson. 1 think Graut will be confirmed." After some wrauclina and two vetoes from the Mayor tho Aldermon adjourned until Monday.

Story Told by Four Italian Children Found Bereingon the Street The United States Authorities Interfere.

As Superintendent Wilkon, of the Society tht Prevention of Cruelty to Children, was passing Clinton avenue last Wodnesday morning, ho saw four littlo Italians playing musical InetrumeBta and soliciting alms from passers by. He put them under arrest They were taken to the Fourth Precinct Station aud looked Rosauia Celina, tho eldest of tha onartet. made a statement to the offl cor, in which sho swore that she waa 17 years of age. and about three years ago Boniflco Tomaso maue a oontract with her father in Italy, which provided that she should work for him, by going around and nagging for the term of three years. She said the contract was against her wishes.

She further eaid that Tomaso sent her out with tho three other children to beg every day, aud applied what she earned to his own use. On the nicht tno auartot was arrested uoninco maao came to tbis city and claimed the two youngest of the children on the ground that they woro nts, superintendent Wllkeu not knowing the trne factB of the case, allowed Tomaso to take the twochildron along with him, but held the others. At an early hour yestorday. morning Mr. Wllken went Tomaso's place, on Mulberry street, New York, and mit him under arrest, on the charge or Dringing cuu dren into the United States for the purpose of begging.

This morning Tomaso was arraigned before Justice Naohor, and held in $1,000 ball. Mr. Wilkon deemed the case one whlcn required mo attention of tho United States officials, and ho accordingly called upon Commissioner Allen this moraine. That eentleman. after a perusal of tho statutes arrived at the same onlnion as Mr.

Wilkeu. xne state ment of the two oldest children was accordingly taken and a warrant was given to MarBhal Tate to execute. Superintendent Wllken said that the ayest of Tomaso would undoubtedly result in the hreaking up oi a uau gerous gang of padroneB who existed on the begging of littlo children. FAILURES IS SEW YORE.

The defendant denies that he ever troatod tne planum with cruelty, but admits that they used to romp and frolic together, and that sometimes one, wuiw thn other, would loso tompor. If it was only romping, tim maver meeting mean? Counsel had received a viBlt from the defondant, who wished to have the matter settled without scandal or puinicity, and counsel nronaiod articles of separation. Defend ant, however, would not consent to pay alimony ana went to a lawyer. Mr Furst was going to read a letter from sir. iiacaus aud an affidavit bat It was objected to and ruled out.

Mr Foster L. Buckus for the defendant, said he would submit an aflMavit mado by the plaintiff and ar. tides of Bonaration as drawn by Mr. Furst, Btrlking out the alimony. The articles were signed by tho plsiutiff and defendant, and the plaintiff asks that the suit be discontinued without costs.

Judge Cullen asked Mr. Furst what fie had to Bay to that. Mr. Furataaid tuo piainiin wub iu uuuh uu Honor could question her. Sho was called up and in answer to the court eaid that sho wished to have a limited divorce and as much alimony as tho court would allow.

The Court said lu that case the counsel must eo on with tbe motion, Mr Backus read affidavits snowing mat mo imruuo i imiiif of rninrnus and chasing each other ovor tbe houso that they lived happily together; that tho uiaiutiff said her nuBbaud was kind to her and gavo nor all niB suiary ma fine o.othcB aud was very indulgent to her, ana so lonn. n.w.ir.,,t,ionnKeilthat he had lost hiB situation and was without means.

Taylor had written to a lady, and that thereby Mr. Taylor his family and tho churoh would be brought into scandal and ohamo, and the matter would be spread wn tha United States. Here tho Court interposed, saying that tha Btatcment respecting Mr. Taylor was irrelevant i. said that waa all thero was of it Mr.

Tay. lor informed her that great scandal would be brought upon herself, and that sho wonld be asked questions of a certain nature, and that if she beard the affidavits which defendant had against her sho would bo glad to settle. She grew frightened and went to Mr Backus' office. He told her that It would be best to discontinue, and that she could sign a paper wnnid do lust as well 88 any divorce she could got iu court that Mr, Furst would never got a cent OUt OI tne Ultiouunuv, l.A wnniii triad to oonsent to a discontinu ance. After further conversation.

In which Mr. Taylor joined, it was suggeBted that ahe Bhould go to somo other attorney. She did so, and the other attorney said, I cau't see that eho has any right here." They returned to the office of Mr, Backus, and a paper ji nr. which she was induced to sign ito read to her. and sue did not know that it was a consent to Bettlo the case.

Special to the Eagle. WashEigtok, December 27. Bliss B. Dutcher called at the White House tbis morning and had a lengthy Interview with the Prest ftent. In a subsequent conversation with the Eagle Mr.

Dutcher said that President Arthur tru not making a canvass for the New York Senator, tflip, but was merely a candidate for the place What ere Mr. Evarts' ohancea 1" was asked. Ob, I don't think Evarts will be in the race," aaid Sir. Dutcher. Of course in Mb own district he has a ttrongsnpport, but ho has not above one or two votes to Hew York City." "In there any truth in the statement that Mr.

Morton will retire in favor of Mr. Arthur "I dou't know anything about that, but it Is my prime opinion that there I no foundation for the statement, although I have hoard it rumored. In my own jplnlon, Morton la tuo favorite." "Who will win the prize "It la impossible to say, at presout, and the thing Will not cryBtallizo until the Legislature meats at Alton? on the Oth of January.

THE CABINET MAKERS STILL BUSY. A rumor was current about town this morning that Mr, Cleveland had invited ex Senator Thuriuau to tfsit him at Albany. Tho report excites much comment and many leading Democrats express the belief that Thurman is to bo offered a place in tho Cabinet, though, of course, the rumor of au invitation from Cleveland still lacks confirmation.

Of tho two Ohio statesmen, Thurman and Pendleton, the great majority of Democratic Congressmen would nrnfer to see the former in the Cabinet. The great bugbear in tho way of tho Cabinet makers to Iho treatment of the South, Southern politicians that tho President elect is not to bo allowed to for got that tho South must be treated with great consid orntlnn hv his administration. In addition to having Bayard at the head of the Treasury Dooartmout and Garland at the head of the Bepartmeut of Justice, tho programme is to have a Southern Postinnstor (ienerai, posBiuiy iTfmnv. Tho northern Domocrats, they say, are wel come to tho War and Navy Departments and tho West have tho Interior Department for tho Eake of ap pearances, and then, If tho State Department is not already mortgaged to Pendleton or some oiuer mugwump, the South will present tno namo oi Thurman is of tner mentioned for the Department tf State than Pendleton Is, but there appsars to ba a abided conviction that Pendleton will got Bome dis mf.nuiiition. If there does not ariso out of tho West some particularly availablo mail for the In terior Department, it is not unlikely that tha people of Missouri will claim to ba of a Western as well as a Bouthern persuasion, and that tho namo of Souator Cockrell will be heard.

THE NICARAGUA TREATX. ovoru indication of a eovoro strugglo over Iho Nicaracuan Treaty. No doubt exists that the va rious foreign diplomats havo boon instructed by their governments to uso all available means to defeat its ratification. Some of these are already moving in tho matter by Beeklug Interviews with influential members of flonnress. PernaDS a few of the ministers may re lort to the ancient method of inviting senators and members to bautiucls as tho shortoat way 01 Bccunng ihoii rrteitAHiiin.

But tho Congressman of to day is not reached through tho stomach, as he was in tho time of Sam Ward. There are senators who may not favor tho troaty, but nho will vote for it becauso it is opposed by tho Lnro Doan monarchies. Eveu if it involved the danger of war they would favor it, for thore aro pooplo in Con iress as well as oat of it, who are not advorso to ox tendW American territory toward and beyond tho iguator. A SUBSTITUTE FOB THE SPANISH TREATS, a nrnminmit Romiblicira Senator, a member of tho Beuato Committeo on Fcri ign Relations, says it is pos iblo that tho Spanish treaty will bo withdrawn beloro long from tho consideration of the Senate, and a uow and more liberal treaty to tho United States, cspecUly on the tobacco and sugar questions, substituted by tho representatives of tho Spanish government. Ho says tho Spanish Minister has almost become convinced that the present treaty will bo defeated.

And that even if It is ratiflod hy the Seuato the necessary oiiabllng act to carry it into effect will not bo pas.ed by tho House, Under the principle, ho says, that a half loaf is better than no broad Spain may offer a modified treaty.

II SL IH.M. Burying the Victims of the St John's Home Tire. Three Coffins Containing Twenty oneBotlies Taken to Holy Cross Cemetery This Morn ing The Requiem Mass and Funeral Ceremonies More Subscriptions for the Asylum. From daybreak until 8 o'clock thia morning homclosB band of pigeons, with bedraggled plamego, hovered around the cupola of the main building of St. John's Home, and, after three or four circular flights, in which the entire asylum property was token in, landed on a number of tbe toppling Icicles that still clung to the half burned wooden cross.

Their home had been in the rear of the ill fated infirmary annex, and they had been wanderers since the night of the fire. In the Bowing room, al moBt directly underneath, three plainly mounted rosewood coffins stood uncovered on a pine nencn. Shreds and patches of eharrod humanity woro being tenderly lifted into them by Undertaker Frank Harper, while his assistant stood by to see to thoir proper distribution in the receptacles prepared for them. The remains of seven children were put into one coffin and the lid was scrowed down. The two remaining were similarly fillod, and the clonds that had intercepted the sun's rays cleared and aUowsd the light to rail upon the following inscription, graven in silver on each lid THE REMAINS OP THOSE WHO WEBB DEBIHOKD HY, FIBE IS BT.

JOHN'S HOME December 18, 1884. At a quarter to nine o'olook the niolauoholy work of apportioning the remains Into tbetr several compartments had been completed and two hearses drove solemnly through tho court yard to the door. The coffluo wero placed in them and taken to Father Crelghton's church, corner of McDonough street and Throop avenue. The shivering flock of wandering pigeons had taken a wild flight southward. The altar of the churoh was draped in mack, tho acolytes were domuroly dressed in garments of the same color, and the officiating clergyman stood sadly and solemnly waiting, their heads bowed over their dark chasubles.

At 9 o'olock the cortege reached the door tho asylum carpenter and Undertaker Harper's assistant lifted tho coffins into the church One was placed in the sanctuary immediately aunt ting on the altar rail of tho epistle side, while the other was exactly opposite at the gospel side. The third was placed iu the passageway immediately In front of the altar. When this disposition had been made a lighted candle glimmered in front of each cofhn. Tho organ ist had played a solo aa tho cortege passed up tUe atBle of tho church. Smith's Hequiem Mass was sung, Father Eugene P.

Mahoney being tho celebrant Father Crcighton was deacon and master of ceremonies, and Father Brosnau sub deacon. Miss Eliie Crummoy was at the organ. She was admirably supported by Miss Shoehan, from Sts. Peter aud Paul's Church, ao soprano, whilo Mrs. Florence Higglne'riohalto resounded through tho church, The Ave Verum was sung at the Offertory, and the Llbor Ami and BeuediotuB at tho last gospel.

Tho church was well filled. Some sorrow ing women occupied front pews, while a numner of tho little survivors of the fire gazed wonderingly at tho bix boxes that held all that was mortal of their comrades. Reverend Mother de Chantal eat through tho coromony although she was dooply affected, whilo many Bisters from the homo wore hard Bet to keep from Bobbing outright. Tho deeper black and more capacious linen hoods of threo or four Bisters of charity were to be seen bowed ovor tho altar rails aud children from Father Crelghton's church intoned the Latin responses audibly and tried to keep their oyos off the coffins. The CIiristmaB decorations of tho church had not been removed, and the peace and joy typified by the wroathB of evergreen that hung from pillar to pillar was in but poor consonance with the demeanor of those present.

Colonel Carrol and Hon. Don. Bradley, of tho Board of Managers, wore present during tbo ceremony. Whon tbo mass bad boon sung tho iuiprosslvo burial service of the Catholic Church was read and tho two hearses, roinforced by a dead waqou drovo up to the xluirnh lnor. Iii each of these vehiclos a coffin was placed and threo carriages fellowod them.

Tho first contained tho sisters and frionds of Thomas Leahy, whoso charred littlo body occupied about a cubic foot of space in tho first coffin. Willie Pine's mother and sister were in tho second carriage. Willin hnrl anno down into hU death when tho infirmary floor gave away, and carried its human freight to where tho big boiler soothed and spluttered. Tho last carriage was occupied by Father Mahoney and two altar boys.JIu this order tne cortege drove to, Holy Cross Comotery. Bishop Loughlin had donated a lot in tue now part of tho burying ground, and into tho open grave, half filled with snow, the three coffins wero lowered.

It was dosper than an ordinary grave but its new occupants almost filled it to tho level of tho ground. Previously Father Matiouoy had completed tho burial services aud read a short prayer ovor tho graves. Tho hearses and dead wagon drovo off, three weeping women knelt lu the snow, and tho mouldy earth as it fell sounded hollow and ghastly. AIDING THE ORPHANS.
