How the President-elect Started
for the National CapitalDetails
of the Trip From Indianapolis
to Washington*
President-elect Harrison left Indianapolis
for Washington on Monday afternoon.
There was a busy Kte* at the Harrison bouse
all the morning. Neighbors and personal
fl lei Ills ?> Nimln* ? ml ffAlnif KM *K?
OiuwlV family goodby. The servants
were busily etigsged in packing up, and all
the newspaper correspondents in town were
scattered about the houae watching developments.
The only visitors from out ot town
were a delegation from the Commercial
Travelers' Republican Club, of Chicago, who,
through their l'resideut, T. 8. Cuincy, presented
the General a very gorgeous and
elaborate traveling lag.
At the request of the President-elect nothing
but an informal and modest demonstration
was given him upon his departure. His comrades
ot George H. Thomas Post. (>. A K.,
marched up to his residence shortly after 1
o'clock and escorted the carriages containing
him, Mayor Denny, Governor Hovey and
Beers tary Hal ford to tbo railroad station;
the members of his family going in tbsir
private carriage by another way. In spite
of the bitter cold thero were largo crowds
on the street, and General Harris* n was kept
busy in acknowledging their greetings.
There was a large crowd at the station, but
the ceremonies there were very b isf. Governor
Hovey made a brief address. The
party traveled in President Roberts's private
car. It consisted of General and Mrs. Harrison,
Russell Harrison, his wife and father
and mother in-law; ex-Senator and Mr*.
Saunders, Mr. and Mrs. McKee, their children
and nursos; Secretary Halford. W. H.
H. Miller, Chairman Huston, of '2ie Republican
State Committee, and Mrs. lx>rd. Mrs.
Harrison's sister. Another private car contained
all tho newspaper representatives.
The train to convey tho Presidential party
is a beauty. It lay ait morniug 011 a siding
and at 2 p.'ii. was drawn up in the main
track.
When General Harrison stepped on to the
rear end of the train just on the eve of its
departure, the crowd applauded and cheered
and waved handkerchiefs long and well.
- When quiet had been restored General Harrison
stepped close to the brake on tho rear
platform of tho car and made an address
that took about two minutes in delivery. He
removed his hat, adjusted his eye-glasses
and road the following address from a manuscript.
"My Good Friends and Neighbors; leannot
trust myself to put in words what I feel
at this time. Every kind thought that is in
your minds and every good wish that is in
your heart for me finds its responsive wish
and thought in my mind and heart for each
of you. I love this city, it has been my
own cherished home. Twice before I
have left it to dischargo mib>ic duties and I
returned to it with gladness, as I hopo to do
again. It is a city on whose cheek the pompous
displays of wealth are not seen. It is
full of pleasant home* and in the homes there
is an unusual store of couteutment.
" The memory of your faces ami kindness
will abide with me. and my strong desire to
hold your respect and conliden o will
strengthen me in the discharge of my new
and responsible duties. Let me say farewell
to all my Indiana friends. For the public
honors that have come to me I am their
grateful debtor.
"Ihey liave made the debt so largo that I
can never discharge it. Thcro is a great
sense of loneliness in the discharge of high
public duties. The moment of decision is one
of isolation, but there is one whoru help
comes even into the quiet chamber of judgment,
and to His wisdom and unfailing
guidance I will look for direction and se/ety.
"My family unite with mo in grateful
thanks for this cordial good by, and, with
me, wish that these years of separation may
be full of peace and happiness for each of
you."
Just at the close of his brief remarks, Mrs.
Harrison, having been found, slipped blithely
out of the doorway and made a graceful
bow to the throng. General Harrison
grasped her hand eagerly nnd his face
lighted up with evident satisfaction as she
stood by his side.
Conductor King leaned over the guard
gate, moved his hand to the engineer and
the Presidential train moved slowly away as
the clock showed 3:13)1.
The President-elect and his wife remaiuod
on the platform saluting the crowd until the
train got a square away.
Notices had been sent to the sunervlsors
and section foremen of the Pan Handle road
to have their track walkers doubly vigilant
in their patrols during the passage of the
train of tne President-elect on that division.
One man was stationed on every mile of
track between Pittsburg and Dennison.
At Oreenfleld, about ten miles out from
Indianapolis, whore an enthusiastic crowd
had gatnered, the engineer slowed the train
down enough to let General Harrison appear
on the platform. The first stop was at
Knightstown, whore the Soldiers' Orphans'
Home is situated, and here tho Presidentelect
made his first speech on tho route.
A crowd of five or six hundred persons, In
which were many of the children from the
Soldiers' Home, cheered for Harrison, and
the Qeneral said a few words. At Dunroith,
the crotsiug of tho Fort Wayne, Cincinnati
and Louisville railroad,many telegi nius were
received from neighboring towns and
citiea At Cambridge City the heavy booming
of field pieces was hoard as the cars
went flying by. W hen Richmond was reached
crowd of over five thousand people were
waiting, and General Harrison spoko to
them briefly. In Ohio the first stop was
made at Greenville, where there was the
usual crowd. At Piqua Governor Foraker
and wife boarded the train as the party wore
sitting down to supper. At Urbnnn another
large crowd was waiting, but fromthnt time
on it was too dark to soo the people. In
places fires of nine knots were lighted, and
out of the blacKness rose cheers as the train
dashed by on Its way to Columbus and the
East.
When the train bearing tho President- i
elect reached Newark, Ohio, there was a
large crowd of people prepared
to give General Harrison a rous
fng reception. About fifteen locomotives in
tho yards of the railroad centering there bocan
a series of shrill whistling which made
life hideous for the moment. Tho train
pasrei' by the dopot without stopping, much
to the disappointment of the assembled
multitude.
The run from Newark to Dennison was
without accident, except now and then a report
o' a gun or pistol.
* After i aving Newark the President-elect's
rarty re irjd to their berths for tho uizht.
A Speech at Harrisburg.
The ran through Ohio, West Virginia and
into Pennsylvania, was made at a rapid ratj
of spaed; so rapid, indeed, that frequent
stops were necessary to allow tho pilot train
(Atlantic express) to got oat of divisions approached
by the special in accordance with
the rales of the Pennsylvania block system,
which prohibit two trains running in tho
same direction from occupying one division
at the same time.
There was no demonstration of nnv kind
at Pittsburg, the only persons in the train
shed being railroad employes and a few belated
or early passengers who chanced to be
in or about the station.
^From Pittsburg to Altoonu, the first
aiTision on tfte rennsylvanla road proper,tlio
ran was made without accident. Thirty
minutes of the lost time was made up. To
provide against delays or accident an extra
engine followed the official train in order to
be on hand should the other become disabled.
The faint gray streaks of dawn met the
WW of the early risers on the train as they
daafaad over the summit at the beautiful park
of Qreason and then there was an awakening
by a majority of thoee aboard in order to
witness the beauties of the famous horseslioo
bend. The Presidential party were still
aillip
flnassll Harrison, the last of tlie General's
party to retire, was the first to make bis upp
ear an oe just after leaving Altoona. At nine
o'clock the day had fairly beg an in car No.
120, and General Harrison and bis immediate
family sat down to breakfast, whence they
viewed the gatherings of people as thoy
pad along toward Harrishurg. The
party in the press car took breakfast us the
train ran its way along the bauks of the
Bine Juniata, the beautiful scenery adding
much to the aelights of the meal. Th-j table
was adorned with a handsome bouquet of
rceea, which came with the compliments of
Mia. Harrison. Superintendent SlcClellan's
promise that the train should reach Harrishurg
en time was red earned, the cars rolling
into the depot promptly at 10:30, in tho
prsasnim of a great assemblage of people,
who kept outside the gates.

' ""H'l ufeili vMM k> a stop when j
u? M of humanity that bad been bold back
by Km Iron fence suddenly rolled inward and
Ittled the entire space. The first persons to
board the train were the member* ct the
committee appointed by the Ingielatare to
extend to Qeoeral Harrison an invitation to
visit tbe General Assembly and afford the
statesmen an opportunity to pay their rer
ta He sent his thanks to tbe House for '
compliment. ,
It was his Intention not to make a speech,
but urged by Coiooel Bean, who succeeded
in calming tbe excitement by a wave of bis
hand. General Harrison consented, and said:
My friends: I want to thank yon for this
friendly demonettatioa. Tbe State of Pennsylvania
has an especial interest to me among
toe States Hot many mike from here, in
asm of your beautiful valleys, near tbe town
of Mercerherg. was my mother's birthplace.
I am glad this morning to receive at tbe hands
of my fellow citizens of Pennsylvania this i
cordial' greeting. It is very pleasant to 1
know that 1 shall carry with me to Washington
the good wishes of so many people.
(Cheers.) I thank you again for your friend*
lineas and will beg you to excuse tbo attempt
to speak further m tbe midst of so much confusion."
After tbo conclusion of bis remarks three
hearty cheers were given for the distinguished
travolcr, and then the crowd pressed
forward to shake his hand. The train pulled
out immediately. Geueral Harrison played
with the children nearly all tbo way between
Harrisburg and Baltimore. Tbero were very
few incideutoof interest till the train reached
Baltimore, where the people all seemed to
have turned out to do honor to their coming
President.
The station was one mass of people. Tbe
fridges spanning the railroad track at
Charles, Calvert and St. Paul streets were (
loaded down by an eager, restless throng of
tioople, all waiting for a chance to greet the
The crowd uumberod almost 10,000 people. 1
Ab the train burst suddenly out of the last
tunnel and came into tho station the enthusiasm
of tho crowd found relief in qne
mighty sliout of welcome, which was repeated
again and again.
Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. McKeo and the others
re-entered the car, but Geueral Harrison remained
on the platform, bowing and smiling
to the shouting crowds until the train
was swhIIowovI up in the tunnels. At Pulton
station on tho outskirts of the city and
at tho Frederick road station there wero
equally enthusiastic crowds. But tho train
sped right nlonj until Washington was
reached.
Tho Arrival in Washington.
President-elect Harrison orrivod in Washington
in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and
disappointed a large crowd assembled
at the Sixth streoot Pennsylvania railway
station to sco him by alighting
nt. Ninth street and Maryland avenue.
'Ibis point is somo threo blocks south of
tho station, and is in a very quiet part of tho
city, so that the President elect and bis
fnmily wero enabled, by taking carriages, to
go direct to tho Arlington Hotel without
coming in contact with tho multitudo, which
filled all of the most prominent thoroughfares.
At 2:30 o'clock there wero two or throe
hundred people waiting ill tho vicinity of
tho hotel in expectation of General Harrison's
arrival.
At 2:50 o'clock tho crowd cried: "Here
they are," and there was a movement to the
front, which tho police promptly checked, j
The first carriage stopped and the door was .
instantly opened by an officer. Chairman
liritton emerged first, followed by Mrs. Harrison.
Mr. Britton then handed ont baby
McKeo, whoso appoaranco caused another
murmur 01 greeting
General Harrison next stepped out and for
a moment the crowd hesitate*!; then a cheer
went up. The debarkation of the remainder
of tho party was quickly accomplished and i
the crowd soon dispersed.
The rest of tho party arrived within a few
minutes, and were soon settled in tho fine
suite of rooms that have been sot. apart for
them. No pleasauter location for the Presidential
quarters could have been chosen, as
tho family lias all tho privacy that they
could got in a house of their own.

THE PARHELL IHQDIBY.g
i Leading Witness Against tke
Home Bnle Leader Confbaoet.
Admitting the London "Times" 4
Letters Were Forgeries.
?' I. After
a ssamtitng examination oC dzlj,
days, the Famell Inquiry In London baa ra*
raited in the moat jenaational developments.
The Famell Commiasioo, aa it is nailed, waa
instituted to examine Into allegations of the
London Time* that Mr. Paraell had written
letters sympathizing with criminal efforts?
murder and the use of dynamite?to farther
the cause of IrUh Home Rule. The Tim**
Sublished what purported to be letter* of
Ir. Paraell favoring criminal action in behalf
of Ireland's liberation from English
domination. The Irish Home Rule leader
asserted that these letters were forgeries and
demanded an investigation. A Special Com*
mission was appointed to take testimony,and
the trial began over two months ago.
The most important witness upon whom
the 1<mu relied was one Richard Pigott, who
had furnished the paper with the alleged Parnell
letters.and who swore before the Commission
that they were genuine*. Upon cross
examination, however, Pigott went to pieces
completely when confronted with a letter
which be nad written to Archbishop Walsh,
offering for pay to prove that the Parnell
letters were fraudulent. In further cross-'
Examination Pigott involved himself in a
complete network of lies, and the case of the
Timet seemed knocked all to pieces. To pat
a clincher upon the matter Pigott made a
confession that the letters were forgeries, and
then disappeared. A London dispatch gives
these farther particulars:
Richard Pigott, the principal Timet witness
in the Parnell case, has made a startling
confession. He declares the Parnell letters,
published by the London Timet, absolute
torgeriea
The announcement of this sensational development
was made at the morning session
of the Parnell Commission.
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Parnell,
arose shortly after the opening of the court
nnd stated that on Saturday last at the
houso of Henry Labouchere, editor of London
Truth, Pigott signed a confession. This
confession stated in so many words that the
alleged Parnell letters printed by the Times,
and on which the Times based its charges
against the Irish members, were forgeries.
Mr. George Augustus Sala wes also present
when the confession was made.
Pigott hod, without invitation, called on
Mr. Labouchere and offered to confess. Mr.
Labouchere declined to listen without
witnesses, whereupon Mr. Sala
was summoned, and Pigott confessed
that he was the forger. He admitted
that he forged all the letters ascribed to
Messrs. Egan, Parnell, Davitt and O'Kelly.
He also admitted that he perjured himself
oeioro mo commission.
The statement of Sir Charles Russell was
corroborated by the witness**.
Having made this extraordinary statement
to the court, Sir Charles Russell applied for a
warrant for the arrest of Pigott. The Presiding
Justice said that within an hour a warrant
would be roady.
Mr. Shannon, a Dublin solicitor, who assisted
the Times in constructing its case, was
then callod to the witnoss box. Mr. Shannon
testified that on Bunday night Pigott
came to him and gave him a written state
ment denying the statement he had made on
Saturday to Mr. Labouohere that he had
forged all the letters. The first batch Pigott
declared he believed to be genuine. The second
batch, including two of the Parnoli letters,
was forged by himself and Casey. The
third batch, which includes those of Davitt
and O'Kelly, were similarly forged.
Itgott added, in his statement to Shannon,
that ho now having stated the truth and
confessed before the world, the Timet
should deal leniently with him.
Sir Charles Russell, Mr. Parnell's counsel,
cross examined Mr. Shannon, who stated in
answer to a question that he took no steps to
prevent Pigott from escaping, but that he
fully expected to see him appear in court.
It was very evident to all present that tho
Times had met its Waterloo, and that the
case was in a state of complete collapse.
The following cablegram has been received
in Chicago from Michael Davitt by Alexander
Sullivan:
"Pigott has bolted. It is the general beliof
here that the Times and the Government
have paid him to clear out."
Abandoning the Case.
When the l'arnoll Commission resumed its
sitting on the morning aftor the above disclosures,
Attorney-General Webster announced
that Pigott had written to Mr.
Shannon from Paris. The letter was read in
court. It contained the same confession that
Sir Charles Ru?ocil iu?u the previous day.
Pigott acknowledged that he forged tho
fnc-siinile printed by tho Times and the other
It'lf.'J o, iiU uuuiivirU tliaii IIO iauui;(iKu kuv
letters which he said he found in a bag, and
describes tho process by which he did it He
used genuine letters of Parnell's and Egan's.
copying closely several words of general
character, and tracing the actual writing by
holding the letters up against a window and
following line for line. The second batch of
Parnell's letters lie imitate! from fac-simi e.
in conclusion, Pigott says that Mr. Lal>ouchero's
account of the interview between
Pigott and himself is mainly correct.
After Pigott'a letter had been read Attorney-General
Webster said:
"Nobody will attach any wolght to Pigott's
evidence. It is now our duty to oak
leave to withdraw from considering tho geuuiuoness
of the letters. The publishers of
the 77 nte.i desire to express their regret for
the publication of them, and will a little later
give fuller manifestations of regret over the
matter.'
Mr. Pornoll took the witness stand and denied
the gemiinoness of the letters alleged to
have boon signed by himself and addressed to
Egan. Ho had dictated to Mr. Campbell a
letter regarding bis desire to have au interview
with Pigott. This letter was evidently
tho one from which Imitations were made.
After Mr. Parnell's testimony tho Commission
adjourned.
The London Times has withdrawn its advertisement
of the pamphlets "Parnellism
and Crime" and "ODonnell versus Walters."
Applicants ror tho pamphlet* are informed
that they aro "out of print."
Tiie total amount of money outstanding in
circulation on February 1, according to
Treasury computations, was $1,408,5'.9,092.

A Hew Mineral. I
A new mineral has been discovered
named Bperryite, in honor of tho man
who found it, Francis L. Spcrry, of Sudbury,Ontario,
chemist to the Canadian
Copper Company of that place. It is essentially
an arsenide of platinum and of <
great interest, sinco platinum has not
een found before as an important constituent
of any material except the alloys
with othor metals of the platinum group.
The mineral was found at the Vermillion J
mine, in the district of Algoma, province
of Ontario, a place twenty-two miles west
of Sudbury and twenty-four miles north
of Georgian Bay, on the line of the Algoma
branch of the Canadian Pacific
1. ail way. Tho mine was dis overed in
October, 1887, and a three-stamp mill
was put up for the purpose of stamping
gold quartz. Associated with this
gold ore are considerable quantities of
pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite, and '
at the contact of ore and rock, and occu- 1
pying small pockets in decom]>osed
masses of the oro, there is a quantity of
loose material composed of gravel
containing particles of copper and
iron pyrites. It was in milling this loose |
material that several ounces of the nrsen- ,
ide of platibum were gathered on the ,
carpet connected with tho stamp mill.? \

in a Bath for a Tear.
A unique remedy for eczema and
>ther cutaneous diseases is Hebra't
water-bed, or rather, to define it accuritely,
continual bath. The patient livct
intirely in his bath, eats, drinks and
i!eeps there till he is well. One patient
vas kept in such a bath for 880 days.
Think of this I More then a year oi
sashing day! It is enough to make
inyone hate the sight of water forever.
There is a slight danger of the patient
ilipping under water in his sleep and |
Irowning ; but it is usual to pass a hand
igo under his arms and fasten it, so as to
lupport the upper part of the body on
he inclined part of the bath, on which
he head rests. The palms and soles bosome
white and shriveled like a washerwoman's
hands, but the skin of othei
>arts of the body does not suffer, and
ihe treatment is said to be very ethcasious
in severe burns. When the patient
irst gets into the bed the temperature is
Mghty-six degrees, but as he gets used
:o it it is raised by degrees to ninetytight
degrees.?London JloyiUL
