A MILLIONAIRE'S START. flf ?'V I SENATOR STAXFOKI> SENT WEST BY A CHICAGO MAK. From a Briefless La\rver in a "Wisconsin i Village to a California Xal>ob. Port Washington, Wis., March 29.? j Forty years ago Senator Leland Stan - ford, tiie California millionaire, here laid the foundation of his fortune of $70,000,000; here it was that Mr. and j Mrs. Stanford spent their honeymoon ! and the first three years of their married i life, and here they suffered more and greater hardships than they experienced*; before or since. It was here, too, that! Leland Stanford received the blow! which sent him away in chagrin and! disgust to build for himself and his young j wife a new home in the West?the blow I that was the direct means of changing ' ??- his position in life from that of a strug- \ dine country lawyer to the dfce he now | holds. * | Mr. Stanford came to Port Washington intending to make it his permanent home. In the forties the village was a lustv rival of Chicago and Milwaukee * f?"l ? and was enjoying a ne&ixny oouiu jtueucied by Chicago men whose confidence in the village at the head of the lake had been shaken. Stanford was at this time studying law in Albany, N. Y., where ? missionary sent out H. 0. Stone, of Chicago, found him and induced him to cast his lot in Wisconsin. His mind once made up, it did not take the young lawyer long to get his valuables together, his baggage consisting of a small hidebound valise containing foalf a dozen OrtAVc 4 fpxc pBiTS Ui iiUlLLC 2UUII nwuuu ovvwj ? ? linen collars of the kind that fastened at the back and four or five cotton handkerchiefs as large as small table cloths, which, with his law books?the latter forming a small bat excellent library, the gift of a brother?were packed in a single trunk. ? It has been said that when Leland Stanford came to Port Washington he '1?J rrillrt/yA TT*0T?r?VnKo CiTi EWa^JaCU WHj vuu >uu nwv>^v?v ? his back and his valuables tied in a red cotton handkerchief. There appears to be no foundation for this story. Gray haired men -who well remember Stanford's arrival here, say there is no doubt that the journey from Albany was made by rail to the terminus of the Lake Shore road, which was then in course of construction, thence by stage to Chicago and by boat to this place. There are a 1 - ' ?- 11 i."U ~ numDer ot eariy seiners wxio rewu tiic young lawyer's arrival. He was a stout built, dark complexioned young man, 22 or 23 years old, with thick lips and an impediment in his speech that made him appear at bad advantage in social gatherings and tended to make him bashful and retiring. Stendford secured board at the Powers' House?a two story frame hotel owned by H. 0. Stone, ox Chicago, and managed oy the late Judge O'Conner. He looked the town over, liked the loca Hon and its prospects, and decided to settle here. A room was rented on the second floor of a frame store building ? and furnished as a law office. The apartment was small?Sxl2?and plainly furnished, the furniture consisting of a rough, unpaid ted table, three chairs and 3 book case. A shingle was hung out and Leland waited for a eiien-t. Whether or not the client ever came history does not relate, but true it is the court records of Wash county bear no evidence that T.olonn Sfan-f.-kW? ?, rytsA r.n t.liA ^ dar during the three years he was a member of thio bar. In fact, business was so poor that Stanford secured an appointment as notary public in order to increase his income by the fees accruing from the oSice. To-day there is nany a deed and mortgage on file bearing the signature: "Leiand Stanford, NotaryPublic." in tiie fail or J.S48 stamora returned to Albany to be m arried. Charles Miller, a prominent citizen of West Bend, in ? - - the adjoining county, declares vriih considerable pride that he furnished the money to pay the expenses of that wedding and bridal tour. The fact was, Lei and Stanford had found his hands full in keeping the vro*i from the door, and had been unable to save much from . his small income; but he would not dis --_j- VT--j. J.L.J i -u?_ i_ appoint n.'.S ueurotueu uy astnug ua- iaj postpone the wedding, andpluckily took a friend into his confidence and borrowed the money to carry him through. Mr. and Mrs. Stanford did not come to Port Washington prepared to begin housekeeping. All their worldly goods were contained in one trunk of very moderate size and they found no difficulty in getting everything into the one small room in the Powers' House, occupied by them. Their apartment vas on the second floor, directly over the bar room and was warmed by a stovepipe that passed through the chamber from the office. The young eouple were very happy here for several months; they were welcomed in society-^sucn as there was, and it is said the lines were drawn very closely?attended the dancing parties given in "the section," as the long, low hail in the garret of the hotel was termed and became a part of the life of the little village. At last, however, Mrs. Stanford became tired of being continu ally invited out without being able to j entertain in return and sighed for a ; home of her own. It was decided to j begin housekeeping, and a story and a j ? half brick cottage was rented. Fund- j ture came from the East?a gift of Mrs. j Stanford's father, as an envious and gos- i siping neighbor once said?and the j young people moved into their plain but pretty nome. The house stood on the bank of a brook, so close to the water that one day during a spring freshet the water rose and carried.it out into Lake Michigan, together with its contents. For a time Stanford seemed to prosper j XLL a ramrm naj y L'UO O? JWU aitvi JLULO mar j riage dame fortune's smile turned to a | frown. Business fell off to nothing, and I the young lawyer's income stopped. Then Mrs. Stanford thought itadvssable j to return to the home of her parents! until things picked up. A fire came and swepfc away Stanford's office, destroying ; _ - his library and leaving him with no way j ^ to continue his business. About this j _ time a political campaign was at hand j ?.T?r? +/h?? nnmirtafrior* tn trio nfti<vs .-vf prosecuting attorney for the county was tendered him. He accepted jt and when the votes were counted found he was snowed under. Disgusted, disheartened v and poor, Stanford accepted an invitation of his brother, who had gone to California and emigrated to the Pacific Coast. It is interesting to know that C. v the man who defeated Stanford and sent him to Frisco and wealth, is employed as a finryrist in a "VfilwarstpA law r>fh'rw Since his departure Mr. Stanford has { not set foot in Port Washington.

General Master Workman Powderly, in the Journal of United Labor, issues a special call to the members of the Knights, asking several questions of importance and reiterating his forcible opinions regarding strikes, condemning them as harmful to the vital interests of the order and occasions to ? 'T --I T*rV>zin oil rst}~>Pr UtJ lliUUi^KU lli ULliJ OO a JWUI t, .1 means have failed. Regarding the secessions from the Knightly ranks, Mr. Powder ly says: "It cannot be wondered at that when they discovered that the order could not support every scheme they had in view they dropped out, disheartened and disgusted. They were not schooled in the principles of the order and blame the organization, in their despair, for their present ills. Their departure did not weaken the order as much as their admission." XOT A SUCCESS AT STRIKES. Continuing, Mr. Powderly says: "It has i been said that the order of the Knights of Labor is not a success at managing strikes. I will admit that is true, and will prove from the record that the order was not founded to aid, encourage or engage in i strikes. An examination of the twenty-two [ sections of the preamble will fail to show i wherein the word strike finds favorable mention. After considering the matter, | your Master Workman asks of the assemj blics to give an expression of their views to | him. lie requires assistance and now goes i direct to the highest tribunal of Knighthood | ?the order ut large?to ask what he shall. | do. He does not ask the views of assemblies, ; districts, factions, but of the rank and file. From the 5th of September I have written, talked against and opposed strikes. I believe they were ruinous under *he old system; thev are doubly so today. Years ago | when a strike took place on a railroad or in ~ if woo /-Mirrior) nrt hpt.wpfta ! ifc ixiauuia\/ivij iv ?* cm -? ? j.tbe men and employer. Today when a | strike takes place the manufacturer may j belong to a trust and may actually realize a ] profiC while those engaged in the strike are starving. Pools, combinations and trusts are the union of capital against which unions of labor are pittied. The one with millions at his back can and does lie idle until starvation does its work and compels i the men to go back." FIGHTING AGAINST COMBINATIONS. In a forcible paragraph on the consequences of strikes he says: "What combination of hungry men could fight a battle oorninet. a pom hi ration of dollars? When a : workman ceases to earn, his stomach feels | it and unless charity is given he starves. ; Lay a gold dollar on a shelf and at the end i of a decade it is as bright and useful as ever; {it has lost nothing from idleness; the dollar j is supreme. We must control the dollar, j curb the power of money and kill the trusts, I or they will extort the last cent from labor | and kill the people. A solemn duty rests i with our order for fulfillment. Let our enej mies say what they may, the Knights of ! Labor stands today among laboring men fthe greatest combination for good in j America. t ii \\7 * "i-,f,TT/-v 1/M-ric-loti^n rc)"nr?}V "TOlll : compel individuals and corporations to | transact business on a basis of real property* ! dollars and cents, instead of -what tlie world | calls paper credits, or fictitious values. How | Gun this be done*/ By whom will it be done? ; 2s ot by strikes, by wasting our energies on i tbe line of abuse of each other. Ic cannot be I done by men who have no higher coocepj lion of Knighthood and citizenship than to . expose themselves and families to the pangs j of hunger in a suicidal strike. Let the ones j who have felt the pangs of hunger testify, ; and not those who, standing far from the ! field of conflict, say strikes do good. Unfor j tunately for labor, men in position are prone ; to yield too easily to clamor. The vocal i bully may succed for a time in creating a i sentiment against the man who refuses to | yield, but when men find their promises are i not keptj-they have a .sweater cause for j anger than if they were told what to expect i in the beginning. SCFFEKING FAMILIES, j "I never will Loldout a hope of assistance j when 1 am not in possession of money to : carry on a strike, when the men and women upon whom we must rely are as poor as ttiose engaged in the trouble. The General 1 Master Workman has received his share of j censure for not encouraging certain "strikes. 11 never aid eucourage a strike and never will do so, nor will I ever vote to order a ! strike until every known remedy short of a : surrender of manhood of the men engaged i ha=? been tried. I have waited two years for ; an opportunity to advise the order on this j question, but never found the labor world j free from a strike long enough to do so with. out leaving myself open to the suspicion ! that I was opposing the interests of some ; one who was on strike. Today I am opposj ing no strikes in particular. This is written ' because I believe that strikes are weakeni ing the labor movement in America. Cap; ital has discarded its old methods; labor bill I ciuigs cu 11 ci. Concluding, 31r. Powderly advocates the establishment of an educational branch of i the order, and in a lengthy treatise calls atj tention to its manifold advantages. A. G. Bell's tirapbopbone. Ozi of the reporters of the House of I Representatives has been experimenting i for two days past with A. G. Bell's graphoi phone, and if it continues to operate as j successfully as it has operoted in these two ! davs it Drornises to be of ereat assistance in reporting the debates of the House. The graphophone is an improved phonograph; that is, its inventors claim that it carries out practically all that was promised for Edison's -wonderful scientific toy'. In reporting the debates of the House two sets of stenographers are used?one on the floor and one in the reporters' room down stairs. One of the official reporters follows a debate for a certain length of time, when he is relieved by another reporter, tolr/ac i->r\ tfio tViToor^ Tr}>oro "ho Hrvme it ?* ilV U^/ WV KUAVMVi H uviv u*vyc a v. The reporter who is relieved goes down stairs and reads his notes to another stenographer. who takes all down in shorthand and then copies it off. The reporter who takes the debate does none of the work of transcribing. In using the graphophone, the reporter sits in front of the machine, which he operates by a treadle as he would a scroll saw or a sewing machine. Into its mouth he reels off the debate he has just reported much more rapidly than he could deliver it to another stenographer. When he has read off all his notes, he ret'jms to the floor to continue his work. An assistant then sits down at the machine, removes me receiver ana aiwicnes a irdxjsmitter with two ear pieces which he straps to his head. The cylinder is returned to the starting point, and the assistant, working the machine with his foot, grinds out the debate, which, as he listens, he puts on paper. It is expected that the instrument will be so developed in the near future that it can be used on the floor of the House for making original reports of long speeches.? Cor. Y. World.

The President Advlaea the Exclusion of the French and German Article. Washington, March 27.?The President has sent to Congress a special message recommending legislation to exclude French and German hogs and hog products in consequence of reports by Minister Pendleton and Consul Mason of-the prevalence of contagious diseases among hogs in those countries. The message is as follows: "To the Senate and House of Represents j tives: I "I transmit herewith a report from Hon. ~ rT J|_*? Af?r.?cfOT tn Gfir- I breorge n. reiiujcwu, uui wv v. ?- | many, dated January 30,18S8, from which it appears that trichinosis prevails to a considerable extent in certain parts of Germany, and that a number of* persons have ; already died from the effects of eating the meat of diseased hogs which were grown in that country. I also transmit a report from our Consul at Marseilles, dated February 4, 1888, representing that for a number of months a highly contagious and fatal disease has prevaiied-among the swine of a large section of France, which disease is thought to be very similar to hog cholera by the commissioner 01 .agnuimuic, *> Uv.?, statement is herewith submitted. It is extremely doubtful if the law passed April 29,1S78, entitled "An Act to prevent the Introduction of Contagious or Infectious Diseases into the United States" meets cases of this description. In view of the danger to the health and lives of our people and the contagion that may be spread to the live stock of the country by the importation of swine or hog products from either of the countries named, I recommend the passage of a law prohibiting such imnrvrtAtion. with DroDer regulations as to the continuance of such prohibition and permitting such, further prohibition in other future cases of a like character as safety and prudence may require. "Grover Cleveland." Accompanying the message are communications froic Minister Pendleton inclosing translations of articles from Berlin newspapers, alleging that 190 persons have been attacked by trichinosis, and that there is no allegation that the cause can be attributed otherwise than to the consumption of domestic pork. There is also one from United States Consul Mason on the prevailing contagion among swine in the neighborhood of Marseilles, to the effect that the outbreak has proved irresisuoie ana uesiruuuvt; uunu^ the past six months and has now become a general and serious epidemic. The disease is described in detail, and the ineffectual efforts of the French Government and municipal authorities to check its spread are recounted. The French officials have declared the disease to be similar to the swine plague investigated by Professor Samon in the United States. The epidemic is of purely local origin. It is impossible to predict the extent which the disease may reach before it can be checked. The remedies thus far are experimental. It will apparently be necessary to slaughter or banish all the swine now in yards and pens in the affected portions of France and I repiemsju me siwfi *? nu ticau nuu { hogs from remote localities. A communication from Commissioner Colman, which accompanies the papers, states that after a thorough investigation the Department of Agriculture is convinced that the disease reported as prevalent near Marseilles is hog cholera of an unusually virulent and destructive type, and that the exclusion of hogs and hog products imported from France would be a wise measure for the protection of the public health. Funeral of Chief Justice Waite. Washington. March 28.?The funeral services of the late Chief Justice Waite took place today in the hall of the House j of Representatives. Bishop Parot officiated and Dr. Leonard, of St. John's, Dr. I -<r - -r TT._:_u TV, Br^;no i .iVLOvi/, Ui JLkGY JL/1. JJiVUiUvj President of ELenyon College, assisted. The funeral procession started from the late residence of the Chief Justice at 11.15 o'clock, and proceeded directly to the east front of the capitol, entering the building through the rotunda, where it was met by the joint committee of both Houses and escorted to the hall of the House of Representatives. Accommodations for about one thousand persons had been provided on the floor of the House and for 1,500 in the i T'Vio Tf/Yiieo onri oil cither TWT l^O. -iiiV Alvu^, l tions of the capitol are festooned and draped with black. The church choir and organ were stationed in one of the galleries and the long table, usually occupied by official reporters, was assigned to the clergy. By 11 o'clock the galleries had become crowded and many members of the House were in their places. At half-past o'clock the House was called tn nrrler and after an aoDrooriate prayer by the chaplain, the regular proceedings were dispensed with and the Senate notified. The Senate was promptly announced and filed into the hall preceded by its officers. President pro tem. Ingalls joined Speaker Carlisle at the desk and the Senators took the places assigned thtm on the left of the chamber. The diplomatic corps was next to arrive. All the members were in attendance and the Coreans and Chinese legations were in full uniform. The President and Cabinet were announced and shown to their places. The Court of Claims, Judges and Bar association committee were next to arrive and were immediately followed by General Sheridan and Admiral Porter. By this I time Mrs. Cleveland and the Cabinet ladies 1 had taken their places in the executive gal| lery, escorted by Col. Lamont and other government officers. At exactly noon the clergy entered the hall. Bishop Paret, of the diocese of Maryland, was the officiating clergyman, assisted by seven Episcopal clergymen. Services then began and after their conclusion the remains were taken to the depot and left on the 3 P. M. train, accompanied by the Congressional committees. A i?ew laocK invemea. , A patent for a new clock or chronometer has just been granted that is attracting at tention. It is the invention of W. H. and J. D. Gray, of Maryland, who claim that it can be made to rur> if necessary for years after once "wound up. Other special features of this timepiece are 'that it is absolutely noiseless "when in operation and does away entirely with the pendulum and balance "wheel now used in clocks and watches. The running gear, including both tne StTlKlug auu ume meuuttuism, wiisists of but six wheels, and it requires only one spring to propel both of these attachments. By the use of a partial self-winding spring connected to two of the wheels the inventors utilize the power wasted by friction in other timepieces, thus enabling | the clock to run a mucn greater lengtn ot time with the. same motive power or by once winding it up. The inventors threaten to work a revolution in clock making by the introduction of a perfect timepiece which they say because of its simplicity can be manufactured at much less cost than the many excellent low-priced timepieces made in this country.

The prospects for an amicable settlement of the monopoly question look more hopeful. The third of a series of excursions inaugurated by Southern railroads is bringing thousands of visitors from the North and Northwest to this section of the country.

The North German Gazette says the Emperor's sleep last night was broken by spells of coughing. The doctors anxiously await the coming of milder weather, in order that the Emperor may enjoy the frgjh air, which he greatly misses. The Emperor today received verbal reports from General Winterfield and Councillor Wilmouski. A dispatch from London says: It is known that Emperor Frederick is improving, owing to the removal of a large piece of diseased cartilage. Such a tiling has never been known to occur in a case of cancerous disease. Dr. Waideyer will examine the mass removed.

Many Village* and Hamlet* in Germany Under Water. London, March 27.?Dispatches from -T-? i- - - * ? iii JBenm give appamug uuuuis ui mc uuuus in Germany. The Elbe, Nogat, Vistula and Oder rivers cover a hundred square miles. Forty villages and hamlets have disappeared, miles of railways are practi.cally at the bottom of new lakes, S,000 persons are homeless and ruined in circumstances, much area can ne;. 3r b: drained again, and even midsummer must find thousands of acres of farm land still submerged along the Elbe. Regular icebergs ir -ued, dashing away bridges, dykes, embankments, even overleaping these and crushing houses as if egg-shells, and ! drowning cattle. Even persons were un[ able to escape the suddenness and velocity of the flood. Dore's pictures of Noah and the deluge suggest actual scenes.

An embankment on the Nogat River, near where empties the mouth of the Vistula, a fine work of engineering, broke like thread, with the noise of a dozen Krupp guns exploding. It i% doubtful if the city of Elbing escapes. The towns of Marienburg and Jonasdorf are already partially inundated. Berlin newspapers are wholly absorbed in contemplating the devastation. The floods extended farther south. A whole district that is called Bedrog, in Northern Hungary, is also inundated, the rivers having destroyed all the dykes and swept away twenty villages, i looas irom the Szamos River have completely surrounded the town of Fethergyarmat, where numerous houses have fallen. Fifty villages of that district are converted into heaps of ruins and a thousand inhabitants are left without shelter or food. The high waters of the Theiss and Szamos rivers, which have caused an enormous destruction on their way, have now reached Szegedin. The flat district between Szegedin and Temesvaris is threatened with submersion before the coming Saturday. As more definite paiticulars reach Ber lin, it is feared that the magnitude of the new deluge will become yet more appalling.?Special to Philadelphia Times.

A Destructive Cyclone. A violent but not extensive cyclone passed Belton, on the Columbia and Greenville Road, about 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, going in a northeasterly direc tion. The path of the revolving storm was not more than 100 or 200 yards wide. Large trees were twisted off and thrown to the grown, and fences and outhouses were wrecked and knocked into kindling wood. At Belton two negro cabins were blown I down, the occupants barely escaping with their lives. The cyclone is next "heard from near Fountain Iiiq, on the Greenville and Laurens Road, where it touched the ground and did considerable damage. Two negro cabins on L. M. Nash's place were wrecked, the roof of one being torn away i whilA r.hf> familv were inside, and in the other the whole upper pirt of the house being blown off, leaving the occupants standing inside half dead with fright. The house of John R. Harrison was moved from its fuundation. The usual cyclonic roaring and black, funnel-shaped cloud accompanied the disturbance.?Cor. Xewi and Courier. Auother Bad Storm. Chicago, March 26.?Another bad storm is prevailing in the West. Dispatches from many points in Northern Illinois and Iowa report the prevalence yesterday of a severe sleet storm. Everything is covered with ice, and in many places large limbs have broken from trees under the weight. Great damage to wheat and fruit is feared. In this city and vicinity tbe sleet which fell j all of yesterday changed this morning to a heavy rain. A dispatch from St. Ignace, ilicii., says: | | "The first passenger traia from Marquette j sii.ce Wednesday arrived last night. This I morning another howling blizzard prevails! and no trains have gone out. The train which left here last night is fast in the snow near Allenviile and the prospects are good for another blockade of several days."
