Wabhototon, February 18.-It U
aboounced that Pretident-eJect Clove-
land has locked himsclt np to prepare
his Inaugural message, and that vis
itors having information or advice to
Impart must submit their views in
writing. Democratic Sena ton and
Kapresentatives will await Mr. Cleve
land’s arrival here on the 1st of March
to continue the series of interviews
held In New York two weeks ago.
Meantime the mails from Washington
to Albany will not be hardened with
many oommnulcations to the Presi-
deut-eleot. Democratic Representa
tives fhmi the West and South are
aonsiderably worried lest in his inang-
ural address Mr. Cleveland shall take
a position on the silver question that
will divide the party. Those of the
prominent Democrats in Congress who
dislike Mr. Tilden arc displeased to
think that the wlly^old Greyatone her
mit haa controlling influence with the
new President.
A storm is brewing now that may
burst around Mr. Cleveland’s head
very soon after he enters the White
House. The feeling of discontent that
prevails among Democrats here Is re
markable. The new President is a
stranger to bis party. Its leading
men. who were prominent in its coun-
eils Wore Cleveland was born, have
no clear idea as to what his policy
will be on any of the great questions
pending before Congress. If the few
leaders snch as Bayard, Garland, Ran
dall and Carlisle, know wbnlthc Pres
ident means ,to advise respecting the
alhrer coinage, the construction of a
navy, the ratification of the Nicaragua
canal treaty, th6 commercial treaties,
the tariff, etc., they have not impart
ed the knowledge to their associates.
MR. RARDALI.’S COMPLACENCY.
Mr. Randall moves along as serene
ly rs though bo understood Mr. Cleve
land's wishes regarding the appropria
tion bills, but he is about the only one
of the intimate friends of the President
elect who does not show signs of un
easiness. Mr. Randall’s complacency
Is not regarded with catisfriction by a
very respectable nnmber of Influential
Democrats who waul to know whether
Tilden, Barnum, William L. Scott,
Gorman and Randall are to shape the
policy of the new administration. It
tooka now as though the Cabinet will
be orgaoiaed rather in opposition to
the free trade views of the majority of
the Democrats In Congress. To pla
cate them, however, it is probable that
a moderate tariff man like McDonald
•r Tburmaa will be given the Treas
ury portfolio, In which event Mr. Ran
dall, leading the House and n Bcpubli-
eaa authority in tbe Senate, will pre
vent any Radical redaction of duties.
Tbe met that Barnum, Scott Gor
man and others are working for the
paaaage of a bill this session to give
the new President control over the
silver coinage, at tbe same time that
one hundred Democratic Representa
tives bavt signed a meciorial to Mr.
Cleveland, urging him to give the other
aide of the quest! on eonsideration in
his message, illustrates the division
that wiH be caused in ths ranks by
this single issue. Most of the silver
advocates are free traders. Meantime
nothing is known here about the Cab
inet and the ooiumds of gossip tele
graphed daily on the subject simply
reflects the views of tlte wishes of
gentleJM» as ignorant of the facts as
ara the writera. General Garfield
changed the composition of his Cabi
net only a day before the names of its
membtrs were seat to tbe Senate for
confirmation, and it is very probable
that at tbe eleventh hoar Mr. Cleve
land may ’completely reform his slate
But In the ease of Garfield the people
knew the men, they understood nis
views npon public questions, and they
knew that his Cabinet would bo made
to carry oat a definite public policy.
There are no assurances of any kind
given in advance to the pnblic by Mr.
Cleveland epon any question. Tbe
Albany correspondent of the Capital,
who il thought to enjoy intimate rela
tion with Mr. Latnont, telegraphs that
Mr. Manning can have a Cabinet office
if he wants one, and that Mr. Manning
will only enter the ^Cabinet ifaaked to
do so aa a personal.

This eorrespon

ators and members in Washington that
Mr. Cleveland sees no reason why ho

Cabinet, if bo can arrange oilier ap

important section of the conn try. Tiiat

Cleveland has been roperiod as intend-

be passed by in the making np of the

80.—North-
o. 61 of tbe
Virginia Midland Railroad and the
south-bound freight train of tbe Balti
more A Potomac Railroad collided at
Four Mile Ran. about three miles
north of Alexandria, about 10 o’clock
last nlgbt. The Virginia Midland
train was doe at 10.08 and was on time;
it bad the right of way. Ttitf train was
made up of the engine, mail, express,
baggage, one passenger and two sleep
ing cars. As the passenger train
emerged from tbe viaduct at Four Mile
Run It was struck by tbe freight train.
The engineer of the freight train had
both legs and one arm ent off and died
before ocing taken from the wreck.
Tbe condnctor of the passenger train
was crushed between two cars, and the
engineer of the freight train and the
fireman of tbe passenger train were
evidently killed when the engines came
together. Portions of their bodies
wore dragged out of the burned wreck
of the engines some hours after the
collision. The fireman of the freight
saved his life by jumping. The killed
are George Freer, engineer of the
freight; Tom Darby, fireman of the
passenger; Andrew Augur, conductor
of the passenger; and — Bruce, engi
neer of the passenger train. Injured:
T. W. Jones, chief clerk of the postai
car, about the head and body; W. A.
McNeal, mail agent, about the head;
C. T. Stewart, postal clerk; J. F.
Frame (colored),postal clerk; Thomas
Gavlor, mail weigher, severely.
'fhe latest report from the scene of
the collision at Four Milo Hun makes
it certain that four men were killed in
the accident, with the probability that
one other who is missing is buried
under the wreck. The killed are ail
train hands.
Washington, February 20.—The
postal officials sav the collision on the
Virginia Midland Railroad last night
caused the largest loss of mail matter
of which there is any record in the
department. The tire which resulted
from the collision destroyed thirteen
throngh registered mail pouches coin
ing from New Orleans, Mobile and
other points in the South, and destined
for Washington, New York and East
ern cities. These pouches are known
to have contained money and valua
bles, but to what amount cannot yet
be ascertained. The Are also destroyed
100 sacks of ordinary mail matter, a
heavy miscellaneous mail and 180 reg
istered letters taken np for delivery
along (ho lino and not enclosed in
pouchea. The ordinary mail lost is
supposed to have come trom Louisiana,
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, parts of
Georgia and South Carolina unu points

■alartal Poison.
The dronth in Southwest Georgia
last spring dried np the wells, and we
were compelled to use water from the
creek on the plantation. The result
was that all were troubled with chill#
and fever. I carried with me several
bottles of Swift’s Specific, and as long
as 1 took it I had perfect heath. As
soon as I ceased taking it, I like the
rest, was afflicted with chills. When
I resumed its use, I was all right
again. We have used it In our family
as an antitodo for malaria poison for
two or three years, and have never
known it to fail in a single instance.

Philadelphia, February 19.—Two
men, while crossing a lot at Fortv-

noon, were attracted by the screams of
a little girl who was lying on the
ground surrounded by a dozen or
more mongrel dogs. They ran to
where the child lay, ami after no little
trouble drove off the dogs, which were
tearing the little one’s flesh in the
most savage way. Although very
badly bitten and almost frightened to
death, the child was able to give her
name as Mamie Hasson, and to tell the
men tbat she had beep followed by
three or four dogs while returning
from a butcher shop with some meat.
The starving animals commenced to
jump around her and snap at the meat
atwhich the child, who is but twelve
years of age, became frightened, ami
as the place where she was first at
tacked is a considerable distance from
any house, she started to run. Tbe
dogs were joined by others, and quick
ly secured the meat, after which they
attacked the little girl, and, throwing
her down, bit her cruelly about the
face, arms and lower limbs, and al
most denuded her body of clothing.
Several of the wounds are large and
dangerous ones, and great care will be
necessary to save the child’s life.

mm «T Xmtefwst,
Speaker Carlisle haa almost recov
ered from his recent indisposition. He
was at tbe cnpltol bnt did not preside
over the session of the Honae of Rep
resent stives. Randall is suffering from
a cold, and, though present at tbe
capitol, be remained dining the entire
session in his committee room,
LEAVK'PROUIBITIOir to states.
The Joint resolution providing for
an alcoholic liquor traffic 'commission,
which was reported back adversely by
the House committee having the mat
ter in charge, is accompanied by a re
port in which the committee says'
power to regulate the retail liquor
traffic lias from the foundation of the
union been regarded as an exclusive
right of the States rathcr.ihan of the
eneral government. Attempts have
eeu made by some of the States to
entirely prohibit the manufacture or
sale of spirituous or malt liquors, but
with little apparent success and the
interest of temperance and sobriety so
much to be desired would seem to de
mand wise and stringent restrictions
and effective safeguards in connection
with liquor traffic, rather than imprac-
tible efforts at absolute prohibition.
To the several States of the union
properly belongs the right to enact
such local police regulations as will,
throw every proper restriction around
the liquor traffic compatible with per
sonal and property rights of,the citi
zen, but uniform police regulations
enacted by Congress, practical 1 )' suit
ed to the dlflfcrenl Wants and require
ments of iho people of all the various
States, would be difficult to frame and
more difficult to enact. Any attempt
to control pertonal habits and private
conduct of individitalc shonld be op
posed, so long as he does not interfere
with the personal rights of others, or
the ncaco ami order of society in gen
eral. As it is a matter of grave doubt
whether Congress has the right to reg
ulate the liquor traffic in the several
States of the union, and ns there seems
to be no great pressing or urgent nec
essity for the passage of this bill, vonr
committee holds that it is not advisa
ble to attempt the exercise of doubt
ful powers, whicli appear most prop
erly to belong to the States them
selves.
THE SILVER COINAGE.
The Evoking Star says: “Mr. Bland
npon being asked by a reporter if there
was any chance of the passage of the
measure for suspension of silver coin
age this session, replied: ‘It is too
near the end of the session for that.
We could filibuster until after the
fourth of March.’ This may yet in
volve the House in an entanglement
which cannot be unknotted before the
time for final adjournment. If the
Scott-Barnnm proposition to give the
President discretion concerning the
suspension of silver, coinage should
gel upon the Sundry Civil bill, silver
men would doubtless filibuster to carry
the Sundry Civil bill over, so that an
extra session would have to called or
the civil branches of the government
would be lett without money.”
> THE N/^V'Y.
The Naval Appropriation bill as
reported to the House of Representa
tives provides for the appropriation of
813,515,388. Estimates for the fiscal
rear were #80,654,011, more than on«-
half of which was for increase of the
navy. In lieu of the estimate for the
increase of the navy, Randall’s propo
sition providing for the appointment
of a board to consider and report to
Congrcsss plans of vessels for the
navy, and making an indefinite appro-
priatiou for building of such vessels as
may bo recommended by the board,
was adopted. The members of the
committee favoring the proposition
were Messrs. Randall, Forney, Ellis,
Hancock, Hutchins, Follett, Mimics,
Washborne and Long Those oppos
ed: Messrs. Holman, Townsend, Keif-
er, Cannon and Ilorr. Mr. Ryan was
absent. This same board is authoriz
ed to consider whether five unfinished
monitors are suffering from their pres
ent incomplete condition and whether
they shall be completed and armed.
A« appropriation of #500,000 is recom
mended for the completion of the steel

Greenville. February 19.—Yester
day in the United States Court while
\hc case of Randall Barnett, illicit dis
tilling, was being tried, District At
torney Melton, in progress of his ar
gument for the government, alluded
to the fact that tbe defendant had not
been put upon the stand. Mr. J. T.
Nix, counsel for the defendant, at
once questioned the right of District
Attorney Melton to make any snch
allusions. Judge Melton immediately
resented the insinuation of Mr. Nix,
and in a few minutes tlie He was
swapped. This raised the anger of the
District Attorney to the striking point,
and he at once levelled a blow at Mr.
Nix, whicli was warded off by the
latter gentleman and who at once
squared himself to return it.
By this time the court room was a
scene of the utmost, confusion and
everybody lost their presence of mind,
except the Judge, who commanded
order in court. Patrick Kirkland, a
250-pound attaclice of the revenue ser
vice, here executed the order of the
court by placing himself between the
two combatants. The 'gentlemen by
tlrfs time had become somewhat cooj*
and both immediately apologized to
His Honor and the court. The affair
occurred in a very short space of time
and was over us soon.

Grand Haven, Mich., February. 19.
—Full particulars were received hero
this morning regarding Die terrible
experience of Die crow of the ioe-look
ed steamer Michigan, on Monday,
February 9ib. The Michigan, with
Capt. PrittdevHle and twenty-nine
men on board, left this port in sqprch
of tbe distressed steamer Oneida.
When off Ludinglon the Michigan en-
countefed a gale and was hemmed in
by heavy ice. She drifted with ico to
Die southward, experiencing many
dangers but at no time being within
twenty miles ot land. She finally got
in compact ice many feet thick toward
the head of the lake, bot on account of
drifting and tarningthey could not tell
their exact whereabouts. Sunday last
it was decided that owing to short pro
visions halfof the crew wop Id. go
ashore as Die food would last but a
week longer. Monday was very
Wormy. Tuesday morning from the
cross trees a rim of land was sighted
to the eastward. Thirteen men were
chosen to remain and seventeen of the
most bardy b to make land. The mer
cury was then ten degrees below zero.
At 7 o’clock Joseph Russell, first mate,
Dave Martin, steward, W. P. Kenny,
clerk and lour teen of the crew started
with one day’s rations, blankets, etc.,
expecting that they might have to be
out over night, as land seemed thirty
miles away. When about twelve miles
from the ship Clerk Kenny broke
through the icc, wetting bis right leg
to Die knee. They went on about six
miles when they found Kenny’s leg
frozen. All were badly exhausted, as
the ice was very rough and blocked
into nearly impassable ridges many
feet high and miles wide. Each man
went for himself, knowing tbat life
depended on his own exertions, except
Russell and Martiu^who helped Kennv.
When off land four miles Kenny could
not stand, and dragged himself along
on his hands and knees for two miles,
when he was completely exhausted and
so frozen that lie could not move, and
urged the others to leave him and save
themselves. Some of the party bad by
this time, 5 o’clock, reached shore and
found a few houses at West Casco.
They alarmed the neighborhood and
the fanners went out and carried the
brave but insensible Kenny to the
beach. The land there rises 160 feet
almost straight. All hands worked
like heroes to throw off the insensibil
ity creeping on them ami climbed the
steep. Heaving lines were placed on
Kenny and lie was drawn up by those
above and carried to a dwelling. The
men were appoipted around among
the farmers, who willingly cared for
them. Kenny recovered consciousness
and everything was done for him that
was possible. All of the men are able
to take care of themselves except Clerk
Kenny. Surgeons have dressed his
limb, and it is hoped be will soon be
all right. The Michigan is now in no
danger. Since so many of tbe crew
have left the provisions will last tbe
rest thirty days.

list night at Twenty-first street Their
faces have been familiar in the windows
of the Union elub tor many yeen. One
of them is tali, rather corpulent, and
red-faced, Vnd the other is roy similar,
except that he tra’t tall They sat
down stiffly, and looked with owl-like
severity at the signs or ths roof of the
ear until they arrived at Delmonico’s,
where they alighted. The taller of the
two wore three riags on the third fin
ger of his left hand, one on the little
finger, and two additional rings on his
right hand. As he displaved them all
by retting hi* hands- on his knees, the
other passeftgers had a good opportuni
ty for examining them. Of the three
rings on his left hand, the upper one
was of plain silrer, bnt square-edged.
The second one was gold. A valuable
diamond was set in Tt, flanked by a
huge rnby on either side. The third
ring was a wide band of gold with a
sapphire imbedded in it There was a
seal ring on the little finger of that
hand. Of the two rings on his right
hand one was a heavily ehased serpent
with a diamond in the head and the
other was a very thin anddelicateplain
gold ring. The fat hand* of the other
man were quite as profusely decorated,
and he wore a plain silver bangle on
his left wrist The bangle was riveted
on. The spectacle of these two gorge
ously bedecked and bejeweled elub men
drew attention to tbe foot that the
wearing of many finger rings has sud
denly become very popular la New
York. A jeweler who was subsequent
ly spoken to about the matter said:
“Ten men buy rings now where one
bought them a year ago, and they are
nearly ail of the glove-ring pattern—
that is, the stono is not set up from the
ring, as i* the case with solitaire dia
mond rings which ladies wear, but t is
set in gold on a level with the surface
of the ring, so ho can draw on his gloves
without removing his ring. The fash
ion came, as all such fashions do, from
across the wfiter. The Fran h dandies
are in the habit of wearing all sorts of
rings, the majority of them being sou-
venters from some of their ro-uanoe es
capades. The fashion spread to En
gland, where it flourished two or three
years ago. It is no longer considered
proper on the other side for men to
wear a number of rings unless they are
utterly valueless. I have seen men
who were undoubtedly entitled to a
leading position on the other side who
wore five or six rings, the total value of
which would not nave exceeded #15.
One would, perhaps, be a small shell
ring bought for a shilling at some sea
side resort, kept to commemorate
moonlight stroll, or perhaps something
like that; another would be a plain and
narrow band of gold twisted from a
bangle in a ball-room; a third a little
circlet from a child, niece, or sister,
and soon throughonL That sort of thing
never looked vulgar on the other side,
but over here it is likely to arrive at
great proportions, and the richer the
man the more rings he wears."
“What about the masculine bangle?
“I believe the duke of Beaufort start
ed the fashion years ago, and it has
been continued by a number of Ameri
can actors, dudes, and fools. It is of
all affectations the moet effeminate. I
am glad to sav we have only hod three
men who desired that sort of ornamen
tation. The bangle is nearly always of
silver and without any embellishment
Two men who recently departed to dif
ferent and remote quarters of the world
came in not long ago and had bracelet*
riveted on their wiisU. They don’t ex
pect to meet sgain for years, so they
indulged in tins little bit of romance.
That was the sulkiest reason I ever
heard of for the masculine bangle, and
that wa-n’t very solid, either, when you
come to look it squarely in tho eye."—
