The schemes by which the democratic man
agers hope to organize and control the next
house nro best illustrated by the Maryland
election case pending befoio the govoinor of
that state In Haltimoro the present con
gressman , Haynor , was beaten by the repub
lican candidate Stockbndgo Haynor and
the democratic leaders now ask the gov
ernor lo Issue the certificate of election tote
to Itaynor , because In one precinct that
gave a largo majority to Stockbridge ,
ami by which ho was elected , the
election oflleers failed to sign the
original returns , although they did sign the
official copy of the returns. If the governor
should tnku advantage of this technicality
nnd Issue the cerlillcato to Uajnor , ho would
decide against all precedents , Similar no
tion to that In Maryland Is proposed to betaken
taken In other southern districts to manufao-
turo n democratic majority In the house.
The republicans are determined that this
plan shall not succeed. If the democrats
propose to benefit by technicalities the tepub
licatis will Insist that luthing shall bu done
not in strict accordance with the law. Now ,
the making out of the rtfll of the house
nnd the call to order by the clerk of tlio pre
ceding house , Is not authorized by law , but
Hhnplyby a rule of the hotno. Hut when
this or any other house adjourns sun ! die , it
dies , and with it dies the rules , and the terms
of all the ofllccrs of the house end also. The
i ulo continuing the otllcurs of thu house until
the next bouse Is organized Is In reality un
lawful , but for convenience sake it has boo n
permitted to stand and has been submitted
to. The republic ins have no desire
to uttiok the authority of he clerk of
the house to hold over ami call the next
house lo order , but they will surely do so if
that clerk assume * to plav thn part the dem
ocratic leaders assign to him in the plot to
steal the house It is proposed that if the
covornor of Marj laud issues a ccitilicatu to
Kavtior , and that If other democratic gov
ernors net similarly , and thu icspectlvo can
vassers be compelled to Issue ccrtilleates to
tlio paitlcs counted out , and ihat if these
ccitillcalcs , as well as those by the
governors , bo picsentell to the bouse ,
then the authority of the clerk of
the house to decide which duo of these con
flicting certificates shall be recognized , will
bo denied , and the outcome will probably be
that the com ts w ill hold neither of the con
testants entitled to participate in the
organization of the house , and that the con
test must bo settled by the bouse itself , alter
organization , as the constitution provides.
In that case the next house will not be dem
ocratic.

Tlio sensation produced three years ago by
the marital exploits of Major NicUeison ,
formerly ol Central Ciook'a staff , and his
flight lo Omaha , has been revived by news
received hero within the last few days. It

duly m Washington as assistant adjutant
general , he sent his wlfo to Europe , got a
bogus divorce in a Philadelphia court , and
went through the form of marriage w ith Miss
Itcnu Cai tor , an nttractivo .young lady of this
city. When his wife accidentally heard
of this event she promptly i eturued to the
United States and bad the divorce set aside
and u warrant issued for the arrest of her
husband , on the charge of perjury. Ho dis
appeared nnd has since been living at Co-
bonrg , Canada. At the time of his mnrriago
to Miss Carter ho covoied to her the title
to the family residence on Uupont Circle , in
this city. Mrs. Nickcrson attacked tins
transfer , but thu case was decided against
her. Miss Carlcr , by the flight of her bogus
husband , was left in a painful predicament ,
but thu Ilrst Mis. Nickcrson has
since sucured a divorce , and it now appears
that lust July Miss Caitur went with her
mother to Canada , met Major Nickerson at
Niagara Falls and was there legally inniticd
to him. Miss Cuitor , or Miss Nickerson No.

It was understood that If General
Harrison was elected anil the next lower
house was secured by the republicans , an

From one of General Harrison s most Inti
mate friends at Indianapolis 1 leceived n
letter to-night in which the following np-
pears.
"Hut three names for the cabinet have as
, \ct been discussed. With onu voice thcro is
n demand that Senator Sherman shall bo
sccratnry of state , mid I have no doubt
that if the position has not been
tendered already It will be ,
within n week or so , as the
mlvico of Sherman will bo valuable in the
election ot other cabinet ofllccrs. The
Ohio.in will bo ' 'premier , " unless ho refuses
it. and I have reasons for believing that ho
will not refuse. His successor can bo elected
by the same leglshituio this winter that
clci'tcd him.
Mr Hlaine will not be in the cabinet. Ho
may go ns minister to Knglnnd.
It goes without siying that Warner Miller
will bo In the cabinet. If Senator Allison is
not secretary of thu treasury Miller will get
it , and Editor Clurk on , of DCS Moines , will
probably represent thu llawkcyo state in
Washington.
Senator Quay's selection of John \Vannn-
maker piaeueatlj settles that question. A
southern man will also bo chosen , but his
name is not Mahonc. Ho will likely como
fiom Tennessee or North Carolina. General
Harrison tells me ho will not go cast till ho
goes to Washington for the inauguration , and
that will bo during llie last week in l-Vb-
i uary.

It is given out fiom the white liouso that

eral Scholleld's reported intention to concen

the meeting of the patriotic league to-day.
He spoke in terms of warm praise of General
IJoulnngcr. Hefei ring to the recent accident
to the Russian impel ml tram , ho expressed
sympathy with the czar , and rejoiced over
Ins cscapo from harm. The speech was
greatly applauded , aud especially the refer
ences to General Houlanger. Tno G.iulois
assorts th.it the government intends to dis
solve the patriotic league. The meeting was
held In Lemardelay's restaurant. Access to
outsiders was barred by the police , who pre
vented a proposed public reception. The
guests , on arilving , were greeted with shouts
of "Vive Boulanger , " and "Abas Floquet. "
A few arrests were made , but the proceed
ings were in the main orderly. At the con
clusion of the banquet which followed the
meeting , General Uoulauger made a speech ,
in which ho said :
"I um more a patriot than a soldier. I ar
dently desire peace not the peace which is
demanded , but a peace imposed by a firm
and dignified attitude. That is the only
peace acceptable to French hearts. "
Ho inveighed against a policy which di
vided the forces of the country , causing a
misleading appearance of weakness mis
leading because the least appeal to the coun
try would cause all Internal dissension to
vanish like a bad dream. He strongly de
nounced M. Ferry for wasting the country's
resources in Tonquin while cognizant of the
perils which threatened France. In con
cluding , ho appealed for energy on the part
of the league of patriots. The departure of
the guests passed off more quietly than did
their arrival ,

Wxvnnt.v , la , , Nov. 2 , " . About JO o'clock
Saturday evening the neighborhood about
the Centennial hotel was aroused by a
woman's shrieks , the nn jry curses of n man
and the report of n pistol.
A crowd soon collected about nn excited
husband and weeping wife , the former
having llred the shot. The object of his
wrath was a younc gallant whom ho had
discovered out walking with his wife , and
who had taken to sudden ( light. Nobody
was injured , but when an oftk'cr had taken
the husband in charge and thu woman had
accepted the proffered shelter of n kindly
disposed neighbor , n somewhat sensational
story was developed.
The husband and wife were Mr. and Mrs.
George Acklcy , of Jaiiesvillc and tlio cause
of the trouble Lou St. John , a > oung
man of the same place. It appears
the husband was frequently ab
sent from Waterloo over night ,
and slio thought she had good reasons to sus
pect his fidelity. This made her unhappy ,
and a couple of ycarsago she consulted some
of the ladies of her church. They advsod
her to ictuliatu bv lllrting a little herself , mid
ni.iko him Jealous mill icstoro his attentions.
Acting on this ndvlco aho commenced what
she thought was im Innocent llirtation with
young St. John.
He proved so ardent a lover that before
she was aware of it she found heiself in
volved to an embanassing though guiltless
extent. The husband became aware of the
condition of things , and ttiis resulted
in a separation and a division of his
property , the wlfo going to O'Unen
county to live with her patents.
Time softened the husband's anger , how
ever , and a few weeks ago ho proposed a re
union. The lady agiecd , but owing to tlio
scandal of their former separation they ic-
solved to set up housekeeping here instead of
Jmitsville , where Acklcy's business is. Ac
cordingly last week they anived hero and
engaged a room at the Centennial hotel until
their household effctts should arrive. After
they weie nicely settled the happy hus
band returned to his business at Jancsvillo
confident all his troubles were over. lie re
turned suddenly Saturday evening , however ,
and came face to face with his old enemy
walking in the moonlight with bis wife. The
result has been told. All of the pai tics are
well connected , the husband being a son of
William Ackley , of Waterloo , a wealthy
capitalist , after whom the town of Ackley
was named.
To Prevent tlio Spread or
Dns MOINES , la. , Nov. 25. [ Special to THE
BEE. ] The attention of the health authori
ties is now fixed upon 'ho wide spread pre
valence of diphtheria over the state. It is
doubtful if so many locations were ever af
flicted at the same time with the dread , dis
ease as now.Perhaps it would , be more ac
curate to say that more oases are known
now than formerly , for while diphtheria is
more or less common every fall ami winter ,
yet in the past the health ofllcors have not
been so prompt in reporting it. The disease
has become fastened upon so m.iny places
that the governor has considered it important
to suggest to the state board of health the
propriety of giving personal attention to the
scourcre. "It occurs to me , " says the gov
ernor in his communication , "that a great
deal of good could bo accomplished if , as
soon as information is accrued by your board.
that diphtheria has made its appearance in
any part of the state , and threatens to be
come an epidemic , one of your number would
at once report to the infected place to assist
the local health ofllcers in tracing out.
if possible , the cause of the disease , and
in taking prompt and piopor meisures to
prevent its spreading. 1 also trust that you
will not relent in your efforts to impress upon
the local boards of health the importance of
a strict enforcement of all laws and regu
lations relating to the prevention of epidemic
diseases. " The greatest dilllculty which the
state board of health has to meet is the dis
position of local authorities to cover up and
misrepresent the disease. In many places
they have nn idea that it would hurt the town
to have it known that diphtheria was pre
valent , and so they call the disease mem
braneous croup or something else that
doesn't sound so frightful. Many complaints
Jiave been sent to the state board from indi
viduals denouncing thu course of their local
physicians and begging for an investigation.
The board have deemed the matter of
sufficient importance to issue a circular for
public information in which they sot forth
some general directions about the
treatment of tlio disease , how to prevent the
spread of the contagion , what are proper dis
infcctants , and how to prevent thu disease
in the ilrst plac"o by proper sanitary regula
tions. They find that filthy wells and alloys
and cesspools and bad drainage are largely
responsible for the origin and spread of
diphtheria. They have traced many cases of
the disease to these sources , and they sound
an alarm for the people everywhere to rid
themselves of the danger. Many persons
have written to them that their local author
ities were very derelict in this particular
and will take no steps to clean up the streets
and alloys. This is true more especially in
small villages , where the most cases of
diphthciia have occurred , The bouid are
considuring the expediency of making a
regulation compelling this to bo done , and if
theio were some way open for making every
local health physician do his duty they would
try it. The situation is very serious mid
calls for prompt and thorough ticatmuiit.

The poisoner is n colored woman , Lizzie Hell ,
who came to this citv about a je.u'ago from
