Thinks Fort Omaha Should Bo
Moved.
Washington, Dec. 10 General SheridtD
saia jo-day that he xvould not expend
any more money on tort uuiana. me
general Iiuh reached the linn and itn-mox-able
conclmion that the grounds nt
Fort Omaha are too small and that their
close proximity to the city is demoraliz
ing to the soldiers. Ha thinks th?? fort
should !' located so far axx-ay from the
city that the soldiers will keep out of the
rabble and make their own a-, ciety. He
said that he intends to urg.? congress to
m ike an impropriation for the purchase of
a section of land to !3 situated about
ten miles from O.nahi, and to ba occu
pied by the new fort.
Mo yins A Oig Hotel
Nkw Yoiik, D:'c. 10. Hrighton Ueath
hotel, Coney Island, has an attraction
for 1 lie sea npparcntiy, for although
some years ago there X7as a stretch of
sand between the hotel and tho ocean,
no xx' th1 waves xxa-.h tho front wall.
Tin: hotel xvill be moved back this xvinter.
and this is the first time that a five
thousand ton houe xxill be moved. A
novel plan xxill bo brought into play.
The building xvill be cut up ler.gthxvise
into thti'e sections, a triple-track ele
X'ated raii ;o il xvill be built under euch
section, I it cars run in, and a dozen en
gines coupled tandem convey the build
ing to the desired sp it. The hotel has
a frontage of 4'jQ feet, and an average
depth of 150 feet, three stories high, sur
mounted by fr.'j toxvers. The bathing
pavilion, 4 7.1 feet long by 7 feet deep,
is to be moved in the same manner.

House CcntCitofi Elections.
Wasiiixoton, Dec. 11. The seven cr
eigl.t i ontested elections in the house,
and the filmy grounds upon xvliich some
of them are brought, hax'e led to the con
clusion amomg many members that there
should be curtailment of expense in con-
! tests, it has been the custom of th house
tor many years to alloxy a very reasonable
I estimate of the expenses in securing tes
timony, preparing and printing bri- fs,
an l making arguments in contested elec
tions xvhether th?re wa3, any real basis
for the contest or not. In sonic instances
advantage has been t..ken of the practice
and liability, and politicians have made
a great ado, for the purpose of manufact
uring sentiment in their districts and ad
vertising heni3elv'.s, xvhen n fact there
xvas no hope whatever of success. If the
allowance xvere cut down or there xvas a
rule established to g:ye nothing uidess
the ground of contest was as reasonable
as xvould be entertained by a cou.-t and
as could stand against a motion to de
mur, the number of contents; would ma
terially deprecate. The original idea in
the existing libvrality xxas to purify elec
tions by paying the contest expenses of
defeated candidates throuuh fraud.

TheJollet Steal Mills Closed on
Account of His Message
Joi.iet, III., Dec. 10. The Joliet Steel
company have, bincc tho issuing of
President Cleveland's message, posted
up notices that their rolling uills xxill
close on Dec. 2-i indefinitely. Superin
tendent H. S. Smith, xvheb spoken to by
the Journal correspondent, said he could
not tell xvhen the mills xvould atart.
lie said that one year ago today the
mills had orders for tr'0, 000 tons of rails
for 1887 delivery, but to-day they have
not orders for a single ton of rails for
1838 delivery. He did not know the rea
son; he thought perhaps the railroads
xvere waiting to see xvhat congress xvould
do. He judged from President Cleve
land's message that an attempt xvould b
made to reduce the tariff to u basis of
revenue ouly; that xvould cheapen the
price of rails to such a degree that the
railroads xvould save a good deal of
money by waiting

The Musket Was Loaded.
Dks Moineh, la., December 0. This
afternoon Frank Moore, son of Manager
Moore, of the Grand, and Olive Davis,
one of the stage attaches, xvent to the
state arsenal to secure muskets for the
presentation of Michael Strogoff. John
Hume, chief clerk to the adjutant general,
assisted them in selecting suitable xveap-
ons and providing them with bayonets.
One bayonet xvas hard to fix, and Hume,
placing his hand over Ihe muzzle to hold
thf bayonet in place, brought the stock
of the musket on the floor heavily. There
xvas a sudden deafning report and Hash.
"My God," exclaimed Hume, jumping
back and catching his left wrist. At the
same moment .xir. Aioorc piacea noii:
hands to his eyes with a cry of pain, and
reeled backxrards. It xvas subsiijuectly
found that ft poifion of Mr. Huniu's hand
had been bloxvn axvay endangering his
thumb and making an ugly wound. Some
of the powder entered Mr. Moore's eyes,
causing the most intense pain, but it is
not thought that any serious results xvill
be caused. Neither of the injured men
had any idea the musket was loadi d un
til the concussion caused by the blow
brought the discharge.
An Attempt Mads to Assaninate
Ferry In tne Chamber
of Bspuiies.
Pakis, Dep., 1Q. Ferry xvas shot by a
man named Auberton. Aubertou appear
ed in the hall of the chamber of deputies,
and asked to see both Ferry and Goblet.
Goblet did not respond, but Ferry did,
uul on his npperance Auberton drexv si
a revolver and fired three times at him.
It is reported that one of the balls stru.-k
Ferry in the chest. The xvound apparent
ly is not serious, as Ferry xvas able to walk
to the hospital supported by his friends. In
reply to inquiries by- friends as to tht
severity of his wound, he responded, "it
is nothing."
Auberton has been arrested. It has
been ascertained thft X'vrry's wound
was slight, the. shots only grazing
the skin after piercing his clothes. By
standers tried to lynch Auberton after he
h id fired the shots, but xveye prevented
xvith difficulty from currying out their
intention,
A medical examination at tho hospital
revealed the fact that txvo bullets struck
Fjrry. The first past around tlia chest,
slightly penetrating the flesh, and the
second xxent through the fleshy part or
the thitrh.
Ferry's wounds are of the slightest
character.
The red rame of his assailant is
Beickein. He is 20 years of age and
states he is one of a band-of twenty revo
lutionists. The baml drew lots and it
fell to him to commit the first crime.
Berckein declares he swore to kill Ferry.
After his injuries had been attende 1 to
Ferry leturned to his home on foot.
In consequence of the attempt upon
the life of Ferry today there rrvc runny
heated quarrels . ihe chamber of depu
ties between moderates and redicals.
Rouvicr joined in the discussion,
accusing th radicals in provoking
weak-minded persons to, deed a of vio
lence. Several scufilcs ensued, and it is
expected they will lead to duds.

Bean bag parties tire all the rage In
Washington and society bells are becom
ing; very expert, at tho nexv name. At one
end of the parlor or hall is placed an In
clined board xvith :i square hole In it.
Stamling ut tho other end and the
further away from the board the more
fun there is in the game the players
pitch ten beau bags toward the hole. A
regular score is kept, and if the ten bags
fall in the hole it counts 100, or ten for
each bag. Another bag, double the usual
size, is also provided, and if this also ia
thrown into the square opening it adds
twenty, making 120, the highest possiblo
score. Should any of the bags re:.iain on
the board they count five points apiece,
but for every bag that is throxvn upon or
falls to the lloor llx'e points aro sub
tracted. The big bag, t.r Jumbo, counts
double, or ten in each case.
Many young society ladies have become
yiiite expert at pitching tho little Lags,
and show excellent skill in uccuriitel
gauging the distance nun the strength
necessary to be exerted. In most cases
the bags arc made of gaj'ly colored ticking,
Jumbo being individualized by material
cf a different pattern, but a fexv j'oung
ladies have taken pains to have hand
fcomcly embroidered receptacles for the
beans. The board is generally ci plain
wood, polished, about txvo feet xvide cud
three feet long and nino or ten inches high
r.t its greatest distance from the cround.
The hole is about lix-e inches square, and
the smaller bags a little larger. Jumbc
"ontaius a pint of bcr.ns I'.nd the other
bags half that quantity. In many houses
wheis; the game ia played handsome
prizes are axx arded to those making the
