WASHINGTON. D. C. , March 15.
Hon. John C. Now Is nt the Hlggs liouso ,
on his way to Now York , but will not re
main over Sunday. He says that ho will not
bo appointed minister to Austria nnd that ho
would not accent It It ho was ; that ho would
not accept any appointment. Ho simply
came hero to help some friends who want
olllcos. This evening ho spent In friendly
conference with the wcildont. Whllo
Colonel Now declines to talk at all on the
subject , and insists that ho is not disap
pointed because ho wanted nothing , Indiana
people uro almost unanimous in the opinion
thut ho has not been treated as WAS expected
nnd that the nomination of Govoinor Porter
t'J bo minister to Homo makes it Impossible
for Colonel Now to accept any federal place.
The public at largo may not bo nwaro that
for years there have been two factions of the
republican party in Indiana , ono of them
led by Governor Porter nnd the other
by GcnerM Harrison nnd Colonel Now. Al
though Porter nud Harrison were formerly
partner * In the practice of law , they were
not on speaking terms for several years.
The feud grow out of political rivalry and
some thrco or four years ago Governor Porter
ter made r.Bpcceh at Tomllnson hall In In-
dinnnpolla , In which ho denounced General
Harrison in the severest , possible terms and
called Colonel Now nil sorts of bad names.
Porter nnd Harrison mot nflervvnid. nnd It
is said that the feeling was so bitter between
them that there might have been n personal
encounter had not friends interfered. The
two men did notrccognio each ether from
that tl'iio until after General Harrison's
nomination to the presidency. Porter was n
delegate to the Chicago convention , but ho
was not admitted to the confidence of Har
rison's friends , and while Colonel Now was
spending his money and exhausting every
physical and mental effort to sccuro General
Harrison's election. Governor Porter was
chatting with old friends and taking little
interest In the canvass. After General
Harrison's ' nomination , when the state con
vcntlon mot it was thought necessary to put
Porter nt the head of the state ticket in
order to insure a republican victory , but ho
declined to bo a candidate. Then General
Harrison , nt the advice of Colonel Now and
others of his supporters , called upon Gov
ernor Porter nnd asked him us a uorsonal
favor to accept the gubernatorial nomination.
This was the llrst time the two men hud con
ferred slnco the Tomlinson hall meeting.
Porter went Into the campaign , mudo
speeches and didgood work , but ho was not
in Harrison's confidence , nor did the latter
have any communications with him. On the
contrary , Colonel Now acted as the eyes ,
cars , arms and loirs of the president-elect ;
running back and forth to Now York for
him , donating his entire tlmo to his service ,
nnd giving him the use of his paper , the
Journali nnd making a largo cash contribu
tion to pay the expenses of the campaign.
Immediately after the Inauguration Presi
dent Harrison takes pains to dlstinquish his
old enemy above all other Indiana men , by
tendering him the mission to Home , and
leaves Colonel Now entirely in the darkness.

A short time before President HarrNon left
Indianapolis for Washington Jud c Grcsham

his friends , who u.ro Intimate with the pros
out occupant of the white house , made in
quiry und ascertained that the subject of
Grcsham going upon the bench of the United
States Bupronio court In the event of a

Any casual observer could have seen the
effects of the senate's adjournment yester
day over Sunday had ho been at the whlto
house to-day. The oBlcoseokers huvo con-
lined themselves as largely as possible to the
capital when the senate was In session , but
to-day they went direct to the president and
gave him n hearty benefit. The room ad
joining the private ofllco of President llarri-
hon , from 9 to1 o'clock was occupied by
from twenty to forty men. In the vulgar
parlance of the street , this was n great

they were all in good humor. They waited
patiently each his turn and after a hearty
welcome by the president , nnd n hearing of
the statements of various cases , they wended
their way. The president guvo nil to under
stand that he would confer with the heads
of the departments as to the appointment of

One Thousand Car Loads of Nebraska
Corn MlH lnir.
CHICAGO , March 15. [ Special Telegram to
Tun BEE. ] A thousand car loads of corn
make by no means an inconsiderable Item ,
but that amount Is lost somewhere in Minne
apolis , St. Paul , Washburn or Duluth. Feb
ruary 2 there were but 8,000 bushels In Du
luth ; February 10 , 120,501 bushels ; February
20 , 3I5,0.- bushels ; March 3 , 510,001 bushels ,
and March I ) , ( VJJ,5GJ bushels. This amount ,
with what Is known to have gone cast and is
now stored in Minneapolis nnd St. Paul ,
makes n total of 1.200 cars ol the 2,200 cars
of corn known to have been drawn from Ne
braska points lo the northwest , owing to the
reduced rates made by the Canadian Pacllic.
It has nil along been supposed that the corn
was taken to tlio Canadian Pacific , but it is
now known that the road did not haul u
pound. All that wont east was carried to the
Canadian Pacific by the Minneapolis , St.
Paul & Snulto Slo Marie. Il Is thought that
most of the missing corn Is stored in Wash-
burn. As the elevator charges until the
opening of navigation will eat up the differ
ence in rates , the Chicago roads and board
of trade men are wondering what was the
purpose of the movement.

to light in the criminal district court to-day
that the Jury in the case of George Dunn ,

for four hours. Judge Evans , counsel for
the accused , who was convicted of man
slaughter , in making nn appeal for n new
trial , by testimony offered in open court ,
showed how the Jurymen hud passed their
time. In deciding the application Judge

quart bottle of whisky , a deck of cards and n
handful of beans , who played poker from 12
o'clock at night to 4 o'clack In the morning ,
and holding a man's life in their hands ,
could not nosslbly give the prisoner a fair
trial. As long as ho presided over the court
ho could not sanction such a thing , und ,
therefore , granted the prisoner a now trial. "

A. Colored Soldlnr's EsGnpndca.
POUT UoniNsoN , Neb. , March 15. [ Special
to Tin : Bun. ] A colored soldier , Corporal
George Lewis , Troop I , Ninth cavalry , late
sergeant major of the Twenty-fourth Infan
try , was confined In the guard house at this
post to-day , with a charge against him ns n
deserter from the Ninth cavalry , also
charges of forgery and uttering falsochccks.
Friday of last week , Lewis , who has had
several ilnanclal transactions with B. S.
Paddock , the post trader , called upon Mr.
Paddock's business manager , L. N. Free
man , and deposited with him a United States
paymaster's deposit book purporting to bo
signed by several paymasters now In the
service , making It appear that Lewis had
$ ( > 00 on deposit with the United Stales. This
move of Lewis' was evidently to Induce : i
counter current of eonlldcnco lu Mr. Pad
dock's establishment , Lewis , who was
about leaving on a six months' furlough ,
took a walk to Crawford , thrco miles dis
tant , returned ttio sntno evening
and presented a draft to Mr. Free
man , the draft being drawn for
5000 in his ( Lewis' ) favor , by some mythical
individual In New York City by the name of
Dunn. Mr. Freeman , not suspect ing Lewis ,
advanced him $150 on the draft and drew a
cheek for the balance which only awaited
the signature of B. S. Paddock. Mr. Pad
dock being out at the time Mr. Freeman told
Lewis to call in tri hour ana In the meantime
ho examined the draft and deposit book mnro
thoroughly. His suspicions became aroused.
He telegraphed to the First National bank
of Omaha , the draft being payable there , as
to the condition of Dunn's account. The
bank promptly wired that Dunn was un
known. Mr. Freeman then interviewed
Lewis , regained nearly nil the cash ho let
him have on the draft , and induced Lewis to
wire his friend Dunn in Now York as to the
lack or funds , but the telegraph ncoplo
could not locate Dunn there. Lewis begin
ning to think that things were getting too hot
"hit the trail. " General Hatch , who com
mands the garrison and who never has al
lowed a deserter to escape , by some means
got on the track of Lewis and hod him arrest
ed at Alliance , Neb , , to which place ho sent
Lieutenant Preston and a detail of thrco men
to bring htm back. It now transpires that
whllo in Alliance , and before his arrest ,
Lewis bought several largo bills of goods
from merchants there and offered in pay
ment n check of General J. S. Brisbin for
3150. Tlio Alliance merchant would have ac
cepted the check were it not thai he did not
have sufficient cash on hand to pay the dif
ference between the order and the amount
of the cheek. It Is needless to say that the
signatures on the deposit book and the draft
and check of General Brisbln were all forg
eries. Lewis has the reputation of being a
smart individual and writes a splendid hand.
His record lias boon good during his time in
the Twenty-fourth infantry and his present
regiment , the Ninth cavalry , but the chances
are that ho will fare very badly indeed at
the hands of the military and civil authori
ties. It is understood that ho has defrauded
quite a number of local traders at Crawford ,
who all intend to prosecute him to the full
extent of the law.

Nor.xii BEND , Neb. , March 15. [ Special to
TUB BUB. ] This community has been
thrown into a stuto of chaos by the actions
of ono who has been a leader in Its society
and ono of tfio class teachers in the Meth
odist Sunday school of the place. About four
years ago there came to this city Uobert S.
Clark , a young man of good appearance and
he took the position of night operator uv this
point for the Union Pacific. Things moved
smoothly for n while until ho'formed the ac
quaintance of n young lady by the name of
Cora M. Mcars , and ho llvlnc in n house adJoining -
Joining the one In which she resided with her
mother , sought her society. The result was
that she yielded to his importunities and
"kept comptiny" with him. It was only a
short tlmo until ho subjected her to ,
the lowest degradation to which a *
woman can submit. Subsequently and after
all the entreaties , advice and supplications
that a mother and friends could give , she
loft this place and married him. to the utter
disgust and humiliation of her friends.
Humor says tnat he got a sum of money
from her. The honeymoon was short and
full of trouble , for Clark had expended the
marriajwr gift to pay partially n gambling
debt. Since bis marriage he has been draw
ing on his wife to waste it nt the table or bar ,
and after exhausting her funds ho robbed
the company by whom wo was employed to
the amount of $3,001) , and Is lying to-day in
Jail at Fremont. His wife , who has given
him seven years' savings , condoles with him
and is using her influence to ootain bonds
for him.

General Hatch , who Is a horseman of the

river about a quarter of a mile from the post
the drag broke down. The loaders became
frightened , This also caused the wheelers
to become nervous , rendering the whole team
unmanageable. They swum ; sharp around ,
upsetting the drag , pulling it for several
hundred yards. The general stuck to the
horses until everything was kicked to
pieces and his log became caught in the
spokes of the wheels , which was tlio cause of
tlio fracture. Ha is now attended by Doc

Scvonty-llvo million francs have been
taken out from the Bank of Franco In addi
tion to the 100,000,000 francs advanced to the
Comptolr d'Escompto. This Is supposed to
indicate that other credit deposit banks have
been obliged to discount their paper heavily.
LONDON , March 15. The Comptolr d'Es
compto , copper ring nnd Socicto dcs Motaux
monopolize the attention of financiers , U Is
still hoped that all wilt eventually meet their
liabilities. Although the magnitude of looses
Is appalling , the effect will.bo circumscribed
among those actually Interested. Neither
widespread panic nor general financial
disaster will ensue. The situation is improv
ing nnd the outlook Is bottor. The skepticism
of American imno owners regarding the
uniinlinity of English owners to ac
cept the syndicate's offer Is believed
to have been greatly overcome , the English
and American companies working harmon
iously. The American delegates are expected
In Europe at the end of March , when another
combination under Matholson's auspices will
bo made tollxlho urico and supply at figures
that will enable the Socicto dcs Motaux to
meet its engagements. Thu formation of an
English syndicate would result In the copper
trade returning to England. English capital
celng required to hold the stock. English
agents would be employed to roach the con
sumers.
Tlio feeling of hostility ngntnst the syndi
cate is growing. The French government
will Introduce in the chambers a bill concern
ing credit societies , the object bolngto prevent -
vent the recurrence of scandals similar to
that of the Comptolr d'Uscompto.
Swansea commercial circles arc agitated

consumers' syndicate has offered to purchase -

thrco-llfths. The object Is to abolish the
largo profits of the middlemen.
UTTERLY UNFOUNDED.
The Story tint Windom Wn Over
ruled In Ills Appoint incut ) .
WASHINGTON , March 13. Secretary Win-
dom's attention was to-day called to a news
paper statement thut ho was overruled In
the matter of the appointment of Assistant
Secretary Bachollor. The story was that ho
had tendered the place to Coon ; that the
latter had accepted and that the appointment
of Bachcllor was in direct opposition to his
wishes. It Is further stated that Bachcllor
' as Plait's man , " would have charge of the
treasury patronage. Mr. Windom said ho
did not usually notice newspaper criticisms ,
but this was so unfair and misleading that ho
did not like to lot It go unchallenged. As
n matter of fact , ho said , the president had
specially referred this appointment to him
nnd had acted in accordance with his
recommendation in appointing Bachellor. It
was true that Coon had been considered in
connection with this ofllce. It was never
tendered him , however , ana consequently he
had not accepted it. The appointment oT
Bachollor was made after careful considera
tion , nnd was in no sense u reflection upon
Coon.
Coon.Windom
Windom said it was absurd to say that any
assistant secretary would have control of the
treasury appointments. That was a matter
entirely in the hands of thu president and
himself , and was not likely to bo relegated
to any ether ofllcial. The secretary said thut
so far as ho knew , Bachollor could not bo
considered anybody's "man. "
A-Rnrlous Blow-to the Coal Trade.
PiTTsnimo , Pa. , March 15. The failure of
the miners and operators to agrco oh a scale
of wages at the Columbus convention , and
the dissolving of the inter-state agreement ,
are regarded us constituting one of the most
serious blows to the coal Irado in Pillsburg
received for several years. The operators
from this region returned homo to-day. They
say that the failure to agrco means thut each
operator will hereafter act for himself , und
that means the cutting of the selling price of
coal nnd mining , and possibly strikes. They
also say that the breaking up of the Inter
state agreement was not only du6 to the In
diana 'and Illinois operators , but to the
rivalry between the progressive union of
miners and the Knights of Labor.

Cnblo Spcclul to TUG BHE.I The Chicago
and tlic All America's played b.ill to-day
upon ono of thu most beautiful criclcot ovnls
In England , that of the Gloucester County
Crlckut elub In this city , of which Dr. A. G.
Qrtico Is the president , uiul his brother , M.
E. M. Grace , the secretary. The teams loft
London for Bristol tills morning In u special
saloon c.ir , mid thoroughly enjoyed the ilo
llghlfultrlp of three hours through this most
picturesque district of England. On the nr-
rival of the teams in Bristol they were mot
nl the station by a conunlUco of four , com
posing the Duke of Beaufort , Dr. Qruco anil
Messrs. 10. Clarcnco nnd Henry Boloo , of thu
Gloucester County Cricket club. They wcra
ilrlven to the Gruntl hotel in four horsa
drags , nnd snt down to mi elaborate luncheon
in the hotel banquet linll. Auson was seated
on the left of the Duke of Beaufort , and
Spnldlng on his right. Among.thoso present
were Dr. Grace , his brother , Mr. Lorln A.
Lnthroptho American consulM.A.J.Lumson ,
president of the Bristol chamber of com
merce , and other well Jmown residents of
Gloucestershire. The toasts drank were
"tho queen , " "tho president of the United
State.0 , " and "tho American base ball
teams. " To the latter toast Mr. Snaldlng
replied happily , and in the course of his ro-
marlis gave n humorous description of the
parties' tribulations through Italy , Franco
and Egypt , where foreign tongues were
spoken and caused no end of trouble. Thrco
cheers were given by the boys for their hosts
before adjourning , and then came the pleas-
mil drive to the grounds. The day was clear
but cold , nnu the boys' lingers were very
stiff. Accordingly , the gnmo was not a bril
liant one , but the crowd was appreciative
and applauded all the plays liberally , The
duke of Beaufort and the Indies watched tha
game from the picas bench insldo the en
closure. Baldwin and Tenor were both suf
fering with severe colds , and Auson put
Ryan in the box. Hanlon , to oven things ,
pitched Brown , and let the All America boya
change about. But seven innings were
played , in order that the prominent cricket
ers present might bo given a clmnco to test
the delivery of an American bnso hall
Ditcher. The Chicago piled up the runs from
the very start , without any trouble
the break In the All America In and out
field : ! proving fatal , while Brown In addition
was hit freely and hard at the close of the
game. The Chicago team kept in position ,
and Dr. Grace and other prominent criakctcra
tried their hands at butting Hyan and Crano.
The latter did his prettiest and amazed the
orioUotcrs with liis suaad und his drops
shoots and raises , but what mazed the
cricketers most was the out drop. Dr. I. . ;
Grace thought the ball was coining for his
nose , and stepped back only to sou it sud
denly turn nr.d dropjto the ground several
feet to the side of the plate. The pitching
was a revelation to the cricketers , and
greatly amused and Interested the crowd.
The team returned to London at seven.
Spaldlng , Anson and llanlon remained ,
however , till midnight to dine with Dr.
Grace. The farowall London game takes
place to-morrow at the Lo.yton grounds.
