Carried unanimously.
At l2:2o _ p. ui. the senate went into
executive session and proceeded at once
to further debate on the nomination oi
Stanley Matthews.
The senate had a long aicgo.in * exec
utive session yesterday. 5he" doors
closed at 12:20 and adjournment was
not reached till 6 p. m. The entire
time was devoted to debate on the
nomination of Stanley Matthews for
associate justice of the United States
supreme court , . and resulted in his
confirmation by a .bare majority.
Speeches were made an belialf of his
confirmation "by Senators Sherman ,
Lunar and Ingalls , and in opposition
by Senators Logan , Edmunds and
David Davis. In addition to his long
speech of Wednesday Senator Ed
munds spoke at length again to-day
Strong stress was bid on the geographical
graphical complexion of the supreme
bench. It was thought at one time
to-day Uiat.thc.'confirmation was im
possible. No vote was reached till
nearly 6-p. in. , when * the result was
ayes 23 , noet 2L This result was
reached only by the vote of a paired
senator. He stated that he was pair
ed on the general question , , but he un
derstood his partner in the pair would
votewith him in the affirmation if
preieiit. " "With that understanding
Ilia vote was admitted , although the
question was raised as to his know !
edge of the opinion of the absent sen
ator. Matthews is really , therefore ,
confirmed by a majority of one vote ,
with another probability in his favor.

WASHINGTON , May 131 a.m. .
Senator Vance yesterday said tliat ho
could not have voted for Matthews
under any consideration. He liked
him us a man , but there was many a
nice man who would not make a good
judge of the supreme court. The
closeness of the vote -was41 surprise to
sill ( tides , but Matthews' friends , who
have swarmed the. city during _ the
past few daysare jubilant. Asto'wliat
effect , if any , it w ill have on the Itob-

been to urge forward-the work of the
Jand league. The feeling is becoming
general tliat the powers conferred by
the coercion act are being used for the
gratification of personal animosity ,
and that tradesmen get up accusations
against rivals for the purpose of crush
ing them in business. Arrests with
out warning , on the mere authority o
the lord lieutenant , are made , and no
one can be held responsible for them.
This means tliat persecution is to be
more and more resorted to.

tliat they were evicted tenants and

A MAD-DOO'S TOOTH.
SAVAGE ATTACK OS CHILDREN IS THE
NORTHEKK SECTION OF BAI/TIMORE.
Special to the Chicago Tnbunc.
BALTIMORE , Bid. , May 9. The
northern section of. this city was
thrown into the wildest state of ex
citement by the terrible attack on a
number of persons by an infuriated
bull dog suffering with hydrophobia.
For some time past BIr. James M.
Epply , who resides on the northern
boundary of the city , has been the
owner of .twpj-of / theso.dangoruua
beasts , and'HasTceljt them confined in
the rear yard attached to his residence.
This afternoon one of the dogs fero
ciously attacked the other , and , while
they were engaged in a desperate fighl
a colored girl belonging to the house '
went to the back door to eudearo'r to
separate them , but no sooner did she
make herappearance than one of them ,
frothing at the mouth , seized her bj
the left leg and tore a great piece oi
flesh .from the calf olr the limb.
Stricken with terror and pain , the
girl screamed for help , and Mr. VY.il-
lianfThompson , who was passing at
the * lime , came to her assistance
and fired at the anima ]
through the fence with his revolver.
The "ball missed its -mart , and Mr.
Thompson then climbed to the top oi
the fence to secure a betteraim for his
next shot. No sooner did the mad
dened beast see him than it leaped for
*
his throat , and getting a savage hold ,
together thoy"fcll off the fence into
the street. Sir. Thompson , who is a
powerful man , fought desperately ,
and finally succeeded in getting away
from the animal , but not until his coat
and shirt were torn from him and ho
was severely bitten in the throat and
breast. The dog then ran madly down
Maryland avenue , and his next victim
was a child named Eddie Simm , son of
one of our leading dry-goods mer
chants. Dasliing at the boy , the dog
throw him down and bit and tore the
flesh from a dozen parts of his body.
Fainting and bleeding , the child was
picked up and carried fb his father's
residence close by. A crowd had by
this time gathered in pursuit of the
dog , but was not finally , disposed of ,
although a dozen shots ? were fired at
liini , several of wliioli wounded him.
until he had severely bitten a colored
boy named Richard Franklin , a dis
tance of five or six squares from
where the infuriated beast had started
an his blood-tlursty fight. . , , t

A Frightful Story :
MOBILE , Ala. Bfay 12 4 p. m.
Intelligence has reached hero of a ter
rible tragedy , which" took place near
Talladeja , yesterday."Aplcnic excur
sion went out to the falls on the river.
Among the mimber was Dr. William
Toole , who was accompanied by- his
little daughter , a childufcsbvoh-yenra.
The -mother of the little-'girl had
dressed her up very nicely , putting
on gold ornaments and a
diamond pin. During the early
part of the afternoon the child was
missed and the father ient in search
of her. As he approached the falls he
saw a negro carrying something with
flying garments , and rushiiig on him ,
.he saw it was the dead body of his
child , stripped of her jewelry
and was about to throw the body
over the falls when the frantic father
rushed on the savage fiend , grappled
with him and a furious fight took place
over the body of the child. The fath
er's cries for help \ \ ere responded to
by some of the picnic party , the negro
was overpowered , and a rope being
improvised , ho WAS hung to n tree.
It was found that the child had been
choked to death. The negro
had probably decoyed her away from
her _ playmates , and stifling her ories
carried i\pr off to bo murdered and
robbed.In m , another moment the
raging waters Avould have swallowed
the dreadful secret of his crime , and
when the body of the little , ivl
fliis found it would have lioou
supposed a case of accidentcl
drowning. The monster was Isft
hanging to the tree and the picnic par
ty was transformed to a. funeral cortege ,
which conveyed the Jbody of the little
innocent' to her stricken home. No
event has ever occurred of such a
dreadful and * harrowing nature in that
section of the country.

The New Iowa Diocese.
Chicago Times SpcdaL
DAVENPOHTTa. , , May 10.-The Cath
olics of this city and throughout cen
tral and southern Iowa .are'niuch re
joiced over the * division of the diocese
jf Dubuque and the establishment of
a new diocese. Xast year Bishop Hen
nessey received a Catholic census of
the state through the parish priests
and found that there were one hun-
drea and thirty thousand communi
cants of the""church within his juris
diction , which embraced the whole
state. For a year it lias been impos
sible for him to , administer" properly
to the wants of the diocese , and
it is in accordance with a recom *
uiendation from the archbishops
in the United States and the bishops
of the northwest that another diocese
has been created , which will embrace
forty-five counties all the counties in
in the state on a line with the. north
boundary of Clinton county , on "the
Mississippi to the Missouri , river.
'
There are'forty thousand Catholics in
four largo and prosperous churches , a
female seminary of high grade and fine
buildings , one of the most extensive
hospitals , under the management o"
the Sisters of Mercy , in the north
west , and a whole block of very valu
able property in the business part o
the city , with other fine property in
various parts of the town , and so it
wouid naturally bo selected as the see
city of the new diocese.
A Notable Example.
St , Louis Republican.
Peter Cooper , the princely philan
thropist of New York , says :
" 1 learned three trades. I learnec
to bo a brewer , a coachmaker and a
machinist , all before I was 21 years
old. " I worked three years at $1.50 a
day , and I saved enough out of thai
to get a start in life. I was making
machines to shear cloth ; then ]
bought the patent right of the ma-
china and made them for sale. ' That
was before the war of 1812. I deter
mined to give the world an equiva
lent in some form of useful labor for
all tliat I consumed in it. I went oul
and enlarged my business , al
the while keeping put ol
debt. I cannot" recollect a
time * when I could not pay what I
owed any day. I would not spend
money before I earned it. Another
rule I" had was to keep clear of the
banks ; I never asked them for accom
modation ; I never got. them to dis
count notes , because I did not wish to
incur an obligation without a certainty
of being able to"pay it. In that way J
managed to keep clear of panics. My
rule was 'pay as you go. ' I can't re
member the time when any man could
not liave had for the asking what 1
owed. Another thing I wish to say :
all the money I ever made was in me
chanical business , and not in specula
tion. "
It w ill be observed that the f ouiuLi-
tion of Mr. Cooper's vast fortune as
nobly spent as nobly earned was a
trade , or rather trades ; and ho lays
particular atrosa upon the fact thai
' 'all the money I ever made was in
mechanical business ; and not in specu
lation. " Of course his remarkable
success was not entirely due to the
ohoico of vocation and rigid adherence
to it. Industry , economy , "pay as
you go" and exceptional ability had as
much or more to do with it. Yet
stronger testimony in favor of 'learn
ing a trade" could luirdly be
lusired. , Very few men have
; he opportunity or capacity to learn
three trades before they attain their
majority , but every man , if so
disposed , can learn one ; and if that is
a good one and thoroughly acquired ,
10 haa the bust passible start in the
world. The lawyer has to wait for
clients , the doctor for patients , the
) readier for a pulpit , and money in-
jerited is apt to slip through the
ingers. .But the muster o ! a. , trade
seldom , very seldom , lacks employ
ment. He can find it in every centre
of population , for society , , revolves
upon the trade'piybt. ' " 'The master of
i trade is his ow.ni master as well , forte
to is independent ; not tied down to
.his or that location , this or that em
ployer , but free to come and go
rue by. right of the skill his
lands liave , gained. Hie 'lawryor ,
doctor and preacher are often "starved
out ; " the merchant frequently fails ,
and the speculator still more fre
quently. But the mechanic , if health
ind habits are right , has little to fear
rom starvation or failure. If work
s scarce in one pkico ho oiu go to an-
ing his coat according
) f corn-sew e do not mean to say that it
comes nearer being' auro tiling than
iny other brend-w inning tool , Mors-
> vor , It is an excellent stepping-stone ,
tor Cooper did not always remain
> rower , coach-maker or machinis. .
) no or the other , or all of them ,
tarted him , and ho went on and up.
A very large proportion of successful
juaincsa men liave had similar ex-
icrienco , and not a few of our
nillionaires have in early days
wung a sledge-li\nuuer ! or pushed
> pique and could do so again if
occasion required. Let us not be under-
teed as recommending a trade for
verybody , for there arc some boys
vho have no taste wliatever in that
iirection , and consequently could not
earn if they tried. But wherever
here is a mechanical taste , encourage
nd cultivate it. Above all , rid the
HO of the foolish idea if ho has it
hat a trade is degrading. Make him
eel that the master of n tnulo is the
peerof the highest intho broad domain
> f labor , and an object of envy rather
ban of pity or contempt.
As WAS remarked in a previous arti-
le , popular opinion in regard to learn
ing trades is rapidly changing for the
Letter. The manual labor , , schools
prove this , and there are many other
indications in the same direction.
Meanwhile we commend Peter Coop ;
cr'a example to al whom it may con
cern and in a republic like this of
ours it concernSjidjrectlyorindireotly ,
nearly the whole community.

THE WYOMM EOUHD-UP ,
Great Preparations for-a Thor
ongli Search for Cattle in
Wyoming ,
Belief that Losses Have Been
Less Than Was Feared.
Correspondence of the Chicago Times.
CUE\EXNE , Wyoming , April 25.
As there are many conflicting reports
circulating throughout the east regard
ing the loss of cattle in Wyoming dur
ing the past winter , and knowing tha :
Chicago is particularly , intemstnd in
tliis one branch of trade , L will Jsay
tliat from reports given me by fifteen
or twenty different cattle men , whose
ranges cover at least two hundred am
fifty miles of the territory , that the
losses in cattle do not exceed those o :
an ordinary winter , or between two
and three per cent. , and in many
places as low as one per cent.
The heaviest losses are along the
line of the Union Pacific railroad eas
from this place , and extending as far
as Julesburg and Ogalalla , Neb.
Along the North Platte river and the
hundreds of its small tributaries , the
losses are comparatively nothing , bu
of course any exact statement canno
be made until after the annual sprint
round-up is finished. Great prepara *
tions for this round-up are being made ,
perhaps greater than ever before , am
scarcely a man or boy above fifteen
years of age that can bo hired bu !
what has been engaged fpr this work.
The Wyoming Stock-Growers' asso
ciation held their annual meeting hen.
two 'veeks ago , and before adjourning
appointed their captains or foremen
for each of tfie seven districts in which
their cattle are feeding. Every fore
man having _ a given number of men
allotted to him is to work or cover his
district in a given time , and meeting
the other divisions at a place nanici
by the officers of the association. To
give your readers some idea of the
country to be worked by these men
by examining any map of the territor
ies and Nebraska , they will quicklj
see the amount of work to be done.
For instance , round-up No. 5 is to
meet at Fort Fettenfian May 15th ,
and work west to Swcetwater di
vide , north as far as the Powder river ,
and then down the Powder river tc
Cheyenne river , and after working
the Belle Fourche and Dry Cheyenne
rivers , the subdivisions will unite and
recross the North Platte river , at Fort
Fottcnuan. While No. 5 is at work
thereRound-up No , 2 will organize
eighteen miles from Cheyenne and
follow down the Lodge Pole creek to
Julosburg , Neb. , about One hundred
and thirty-five miles thence north to
Ihe Platte river , following the river
west to a point near Fort Laramie.
These are simply the outside lines , and
every mile of land between them piaa
: o bo ridden over and all cattle driven
11 to the main Kind , which , after
uniting at the central point , are cut
out by their owners.
The reports from the Black Hills
country , or especially that of the Big
Dhoyenne , are discouraging. One
correspondent states that 20 per cent ,
will b.irely cover the losses. This la
lot caused by cold weather alone.
The feed is good but the cattle are
weak , and , while feeding near the
crooks or river , sink into the soft
earth , ' and being weak , arc unable to
release themselves , and so many of
; hem are dying daily.
The reports sent from the Powder
ivur and Big Horn country are , as
' .ir aa I can learn , untrue , and have
> eon sent to the papers throughout
, hc cast for the simple purpdse of cre-
iting a false impression regarding this
aluablo country , and thereby gain
control of the larger portion of the
ranges there. Some of these letters
vcre published in the local papers
icre , but were not credited by any
mo acquainted w ith our territory , and
n a few days wore contradicted by
lozens of local ranchmen living in
hat district.
Outside of the cattle bus'ness Wy
oming presents a great many induce-
nentS for capitalists to invest in so a
akes in several counties. Inexhaust-
blo beds of coal , outside of those
owned by the Union Pacific railroad ,
lave been discovered in the Sweetwa-
er and Uintah counties , as well as in
Jrook county in the Black Hills. The
atter bed is to be the _ future supply
lepot for Deadwood and the mines in
.hat locality. Valuable mine ! ) are be-
ng opened up every day in different
wrtions of the territory. The latest
ihd is reported to be a real bonanza.
But little can be obtained as to the exact -
act location , as everything is hushed
up , but it is rumored that two and
three dollars to the pound have been
aken from the ore. There is quite a
listory to this mine , if it is
the original mine discovered
nineteen years ago by emigrants. The
atory is virtually as follows ! In 18G2
a party of emigrants , on their way to
2alifornia , crossed the Platte river
just below what is now known as old
Fort Casper , made one day's drive and
camped for the night. During the
night some of the cattle strayed away
and one of the men while out in the
liills , hunting them , happened , upon a
peculiar appearing ledge.of rock , hav
ing a bright metallic lustro a piece of
which ho broke off , 'took- to camp
and allowed ] his companions to
examiiie it. They greatly admired
the rock , but as time passed by the
rock was forgotten. Some time afU-r
arriving in San Francisco the rock
was assayed and proved to be very
rich in silver. Tile story of the assay was
soon noised abroadand large amounts
of money were offered to anyone that
could first show the lead ; several ex
peditions came east prospecting , but
it was mere guess work as to the loca
tion. Some prospected around Inde
pendence Rock , in the Sweetwater
country , others came cast on the
Platte river. Two men , 0. A. Payne
and James A Brennan , came down
from Nevada , pretending to look after
oil springs near Red Buttes , butreally
ttf try and find the lost bonanza. They
proai > ected in tliat vicinity about two
weeks , and , failing to find anything ,
Payne returned to Nevada and Bren-
nan went to Fort Laramie as a guide ,
and was subsequently killed by the
Indians while out with a scouting
party on Tongucrriver.
Several other parties subsequently
made efforts to get into the section of
country near Fort Caspar , but they
were either attacked and driven off
by the Indians or gave up the search
without finding anything. The party
now said to have discovered the long-
looked-for bonanza is Mr. Rufua
Rhodes , superintendent of Messrs.
Carey Bros. ' cattle ranches , at Fort
Caspar. The Carey Bros , have had
their cattle in that section for several
years , and considered the ranges a
bonanza without the new silver mine
so lately discovered by their foreman.
Dr. J. H. Maynard , of this city , re
turned , a few days ago , from Glendale ,
Montana , where he had been called to
examine a quicksilver mine. While
there he purchased an interest in it ,
which , from all accounts , is another
bonanza. The mine was discovered
last fall by a man with an engineering

e attempted to pick it up , but no , it
id not pick up. He then scooped
ome of it up in the hollow of his hand

nfonned that it was quicksilver. After
Ins ho dug a square hulo nenr the

The official report of the procccd-
ngs of the meeting of High Joints ,
held in New York , April 27 and 28 ,
881 , lias just been published.
The report of the committee upon
the competition of the Mississippi
river route to the late meeting of High
Joints shows that the river movement
of grain grew from. 66,000 bushels of
wheat in 1870 to 15,762,604 bushels
of com , wheat and rye in 1880. While
n 1880 the river carried from St.
x > uis 15,762,664 bushels of grain , the
> ve railroads running eaxtfrom St.
Louis took only 8,734,591 bushels , of
which over 7,000,000 passed through
3t. Louis in transit from points west
nd northwest of St. Louis. The
unount carried by barges be-
ween Jan. 1 and March 23 of this
pear was 2,298,1 % bushels. The rail
ines carried during the same time
,088,374 bushels. Between Feb. 1 ,
he , opening of navigation , and April
21 of the present year , a period of
wo months , the barge lines carried to
N'esOrleans ; Wheat , 1,748,860
> uijiels ; com. 2,803,060 bushels ; oats ,
00,078 bushels ; ryeT 22,423 bushels ;
oUl , 4,6234,421 bushels. Besides
hdabovc , several cargoes left Cairo
.ni B lmont between June 1 and
; V > . 19. During the ice blockade the
latt winter between St. Louis and
7aro the barge lines carried from the
later place 1,100,000 bushels of grain.
In regard to _ the Jgads fettiea the
rejort says. they'haTo given , great im-
xias to the exportation of grain via
ev Orleans. The jetties havebrought

and sail , to New Orleans. Vessels are .
promptly loaded , eight floating elura-
tors being used for transfer front bargee
to ships , and with a capacity of from
4000 to 5000 bushela grain per hour.
So far in 1881 thu rules from < St.
Louis to New Orleans hare varied from
six to eight and a half cents'per
bushcL River rates from Cairo to
New Orleans were six to eight centa
per bushel. , _ .
A comparison of through ratesJTUI
New Orleans and Now York is giron * .
It shows th.it the rate from St. Louis
to Lheqxxil via. New Orleans , include
ing expense's , such as insurance , etc. ,
amounted last March to 46 74-100
cents. While the rates via New York ,
including expenses , aiiountod to
CO 44-100 cents. It ia generally b -
lievud , the report says , thnt low as tlio
river rates now are , they can be made
