An appointment was nindo last evening In
'tho pcstoftlco which is going to innko merry
war. During the latter part of President
Cleveland's ' administration Beverly Cole , of
IJov York"city , was appointed to n position
In the Interior department nnd assigned to
the ehlofshlp of Mio division of minerals , In
the land office. His wife. Julia F. Cole , was
given n place by Public PrlntmBenedict. .
Bith husband and wife were very offensively
partisan democrats. They gave utterance
to their political opinions on every occasion
they wished In language qulto expressive.
Last winter Beverly foil uowii stair * nt the
department nnd dlod from his Injuries. Ho
Jind nn accident policy for $10,000 , and the
acquaintance * of his wife supposed that in
view of their Intense partisanship she would
net have the hardihood to apply for a posl-
Wider this administration. But she did.
Shq laid her claims on the fact that her hus
band died "in thu line of service , " to use n
pension office phrase. About t'io same tlmo
that Mrs. Julia F. Cole implied for an ap
pointment In the patent oflico on the grounds
named , Mrs. Gardner , the widow of Mar-
ccllus Gardner , a gallant union soldier who
was chief of the draughtsmen's division for
many years , who mudo n remarkably line
oDlccr , and who also dlod "In the line of
duty. " put in nn application for u placo. It
is boltoved that when Mrs. Cole wus ap
pointed lust evening It wus intended to up-
point Mrs. Gurdner. It is undoubtedly u
"mistuken identity" case nnd will make n
lively row.

' ' NinUASKA : MOllTGAOnS.
Owing to the fuct that congress , nt Its last
session , provided that the forthcoming
ccndus shall embrace n report upon the
j'Uinbor nnd extent of farm mortgages , a
grout deal of attention is being paid to this
subject in the ea 'crn newspapers nt the
present time. Tins Bir. correspondent bad
fnlkt with several Nebraska men on the
tjidjcct , nnd this is what they say :
Representative Council Farm mortgages
are certainly not on the increase in Nebraska :
, on the contrary , they are rapidly being paid
off , and there nro very few foreclosures.
I consider that there Is no better
Investment for capital than farm mortgages
well placed through responsible men. In
Nobruskn thcro Is some Increase in the mort
gage loans recorded in the cities. The reason
is that there are so many big blocks bolng
erectedin Omaha nnd other places , in which
eastern capital is invested. But the farmers ,
now that they are recovering from the drain
consequent upon opening n now country , are
asking fewer favors ot the moneyed men
each year , and are becoming more and more
independent of outside aid. "
' Hon. John M. Thurston "Thero is less
nnd less investment of eastern capital in
the mortgages on farms each year. It Is very
Bcldom tliat ono hears of the foreclosure of n
farm mortgage , und the fact that there nro
eo many of these instruments recorded argues
well for tUo prosperity of the statn. It shows
that the tenants are becoming landlords , and
those who routed farms uro saving tholr
money nnd buying for themselves. They
pay part cash and give a mortgage for the
balance. I consider a western farm mort
gage , placed through responsible agents
or companies , un excellent investment. "
Kcprcscntuttvo George W. E. Dorsoy :
"Nobrnska Is Increasing in wealth and popu
lation , and I suppose farm mortgages aro'in-
creasing , owing to that fact. I wish to say
that a great many men In the eastern part of
the state who , years ago , mortgaged their
farms , are now paying oft tholr mortgages ,
nro fast accumulating wealth and farms , and
to my certain knowledge , these who , twenty
years ago , were paying 2 per cent a month
for money , are now loaning their surplus
funds to farmers in the western part of the
Btnto at 8 and 9 per cent per annum. There
nro very few foreclosures of farm mortgages
in Nooraskn. Where the loans are placed
by n careful corporation or firm they are
good investments. I have had ton years' ex
perience In that business , und the different
banks with which I am associated have
loaned several millions of dollars , and I know
that not a dollar has been lost by our cus
tomers. Wo have been compelled to fore
close u small number of mortgages , but the
property has In every case puid the debt and
expenses. "
nousc'v's GUEST ? .
A Nebraska man has a very pleasant-
Junket In store for some congressional
friends this summer , but it Isn't u junket ut
the expense of the government. While the
tariff debutes wore In progress during the
last congress the western men found that
the easterners had very llttlo conception of
the western country und the real needs of
that , great section. Congressman Dorbcy
frequently said that ho should ilku to have
Bomo representative Now Englanders and
Now Yorkers umko u western trip with him
BO that they could see the country nud un
derstand how it was growing. But last
summer congress sat until so Into , nud the
campaign coming on , there was no tlmo for
the proposed trip. When congress adjourned
last March , Mr , Dorsoy renewed his Invita
tion , mid mudo up u little party of congenial
spirits to accompany him on the
tour. The party will consist
of ox-Kopresentatlvo Hayden , of Massachu
setts , KoprcsontutlvoA Stewart , of Vermont ,
MoKinloy , of Ohio , Burrows , of Michigan ,
Bavno , of Pennsylvania , ox-Hoprrscntatlvo
GofT , of West Virginia and Brlgudlur-Gon-
oral John H , Brooke , in command or the De
partment of the Platto. lii'prcscntutivo
Hood , of Maine , was invited , but could not
ucccpt. The object lesson will commence In
Fremont , Mr. Dorscy's homo. The travelers
will meet tht.ro about the middle of July nnd
will go uboard n special Pullman car char
tered by Mr , Dorsoy for the trip. From
Fremont they go to Denver , thence to Chey-
oiino , Salt Lake City , Boise City , Idaho ;
Seattle , Taeomn , through Washington terri
tory to the Corner d1 Alene region , Idaho ;
topping ut ( lliTeront points on route , through
North unit South Dakota und then back to
St. Paul where thu party will diubaud. The
trip Is expected to last from four to six
weeks , hut the tourists will not bo tied dowp
by any tlmo table and they will Btoj ) hit
Wherever the fancy muy slozo thorn. The
entire trip Win be imidq in the Pullman ear ,
which will bo provisioned with every thing
that Is good , nua an experienced Btownrd will
bo taken ulonfr to look gutter thu creature
comforts of Mr. Dorsoy'a guests. It Is not
likely that any 'traveling will bo dune ut
night us every ono will want to admlro the
beauties of the scenery of that western roun <
try. When tbo party goea through Montumi
nud tbo Dakota * the elections will ho on ,
und us there are three inugnltlcont speakers
in the party , Burrows , McKliiloy und GofT ,

FTO | Hundred Knllroad nnd Brick
yard Men Fight.
NEW Bnt-Nswicif , N. J , , May 5. Last
night and this morning u fatal riot occurred
nt tbo Sayervill brick yards , five miles below
tbo city. Agent E. P. Hcndrlckson , with
100 men , started last night to put in n spur
from the main line of the Karitan Uivcr rail
road across the land of Edwurd Fiirman
down through the brick yards to William F.
Fisher's yard. Furman was oposed to tholr
crossing his land nnd called out his uion.
The railroad men were reinforced by brick
yard men until GOO were engaged in the fight
by midnight. Furman's men attacked the
railroaders and burned tics , materials and
cars. Pistols , club < and stones were freely
used. George Kissinger , ono of Furman's
laborers , was killed outrlcht. He wns
knocked down with a club raid n sharp
pointed crow bar jammed through his head.
John Kennedy , a railroad man , was so badly
injured that ho died in nn hour.
At 4 o'clock this morning the sheriff of
Middlesex county called out a posse of fifty
men. When they reached the place ull was
quiet nnd tlio railroad men bad slopped work
to recruit tholr forces. The Uaritan river
railroad is a now enterprise , running from
South Amboy to Cound Brook. Furman
complains that the company is crossing his
land without his consent , while the com
pany claims ho had given it.
Up to 0 o'clock this evening all was quiet ,
but the railroad men who are encamped in
the woods near by the disputed spot are
being heavily reinforced from along tno line ,
nnd trouble is expected to-night , as both
parties are determined.

immediately thereafter , steel rails began to
arrive nt Casper. They arc laying in a largo
amount of building supplies nt Douglas ,
whcro their supply yards are located. The
Northwestern wants to hold the territory in
central Wyoming and in order to do so , they
will build on west this summer ahead of the
Pacific Short Line , which has done consider
able work , both east und west of Bothwell.
Last summer they aid quite a lot of word in
Devil's Gate , also on Hell's Hulf Acre. The
stock Interests of the Sweotwatcr country-
will give the Northwestern road n good busi
ness , as horses , cattle and sheep are ubund-
nnt. Thousands of head of cattle feed
within sight of Bothwell. There. Is a great
deal of hidden wealth in central Wyoming ,
which can not bo developed until tbo advent
ot a railroad , so the coming of the first road
means a great deal to the people hero who
have awaited It In mixious expectancy for

JIowa'H Borjilinm Snunr.
DBS MoiN'ns , la. , May 5. [ Special to Tnn
BEB.J The question of developing the
sorghum sugar iiuustry is uttr-icting con
siderable attention in low.i , just now. Di
rector Specr , of the Iowa agricultural exper
iment station , has written to the governor on
the subject , setting forth some strong
reason's why tbo federal government should
give some encouragement to the industry in
Iowa , ns well as in Kansas. It is generally
known that some very successful experi
ments , In making suirar from tbo cane , have
been carried on in Kansas , and the industry
there has attracted very general attention.
But it is not known so generally that a good
deal has been done in this direction in Iowa.
During the year 1SS there were 2,000.000
gallons of sorghum syrup manufactured in
this state. Thcro is an establishment at
Ce.dar Fulls that has made as high us 15,000 ,
pounds of amber cane sugar in a single sea
son. It has works at Cedar Falls that cost
$10,000. Lust fall thcro were made at that
one place 40,000 gallons of the syrup , while
within five miles of there , three other par
ties made last fall 45,000 gallons of the syrup.
This was mailo from the amber cane , which
brings about $2.25 per ton , when delivered
at the factory with blades on , which mattes
it n pretty profitable field crop. Some of
this cano has been analysed nt the experi
mental station nt Ames , und taking ISO sep
arate stalks , it was found that the sucrose
in the different stalks varied from 8 to 14
per cent , and that it nveraged richer than
Kansas cane. Director Spcor says in his
letter that these who have had most exper
ience in making amber cane syrup in lofoa ,
believe that all that is needed to enable the-
state to make sorghum bugar in paying
quantities , is improved machinery und u few
experiments by skillful men. The long , dry
autumns of Iowa are very favorable to the
formation of sucrose in sorghum , nnd U is
urged that if the proper amount of attention
wcro given to the matter , the industry
might bo made very successful and very
prolitublo.
Stnto Board of Health.
DCS Moixns , In. . May 4. [ Special to THIS
Bee. ] The semi-annual mooting of the state
board of health in this city the past , wcok
has been one of more than ordinary interest.
The board passed upon several questions of
public concern , nnd took some action that
will undoubtedly conduce to the public good.
The subject of contagious diseases is ono
that has received a great deal of attention
from the bo ird in the last year , and it re
ceived some additional attention at this meet
ing. The board made an order that what is
known as the quarantine period of forty days
shall begin to run from and after tbo appear
ance of the last case of the disease In n com
munity or u promises. The rules of disin
fection in contagious diseases were amended ,
and all reference to sulphur as a disinfectant
was stricked out , the board holding that
sulphurous ucld gas us commonly used can
not bo relied upon for disinfection.
The board took n very important action
with reg.ird to medical colleges in Iowa. It
made u ruling that the requirements of nil
tbo medical colleges In this state must in
clude a fouryears' course of study ns neces
sary to graduation , and to entitle a graduate
to practice medicine in Iowa. This raises
the standard of admission to practice
very much , mid is intended to
shut off the low grupod medical schools that
have been doing a largo business In turning
out rcndy-mado doctors after a brief und
totally liisurtlciont course of study. The re
quirements for admission to the bar have
been rulsad within the last few years , and
the results have proven very benollclal. The
board of health think that is qulto as im
portant that the publio bo protected ngulnst
quack doctors us against quaok lawyers. So
they have raised the requirements fornd-
mission to practice medicine considerably ,
nnd propose to make it no very easy task to
hrealc into the profession. Their order rela
tive to medical colleges docs nntgo into effect
until after the class of 18'Jl has Graduated , seas
as to let out these who started in good faith
under the old plan.
Hereafter Inspectors nro prohibited from
putting any Drain ! upon barrels , until after
the barrels urn filled with oil. This Is to
prevent gottinir a brand on a sample of
oil , whloh will then bo barreled up with
a poorer a id more dangerous quality. The
case of condmncd oil , that wus shipped to
Corning same time , where the test showed It
to be unsalable In Iowa , has caused the
board to watch the matter of oil inspection
pretty closely.
The Ulvrr Lands.

Bui.J : Attornoy-Goner.U Stone In busily en
gaged In preparing his argument In the river
land cuses , which ho will submit to Attorney-
General Miller early in Juno . Ho will take
the positive and aggressive position that the

boon foully dealt with. A stranger took the
doctor off 'ast ' night , it Is related , ostensibly
to attend an injured man in Luke View.
Since then Cronin has not been
seen , 'ro-day a trunk was found
on the prairie near Lake View , containing
n mass of bloopy cotton similar to that
Cronin carried in his surgeon's case , and
some hair , said to resemble in color the
doctor's locks. A two column interview
with Dr. Cronin , in printed form , prepared
by himself , was given to the newspapers to
night by his friends. It relates various clr
cumstances , purporting to show that a con-
splrncy of some sort existed to ir.juro Cronin

BOSTON , May fi. A number of prominent
citizens of Boston , who have for a long time
been considering the question of how best to
go to work to practically and lastingly bene
fit the poor evicted tenants in Ireland ,
have united upon a plan for carrying
out tholr purposes. O'fioy feel the only hope
of accomplishing anything lies in the possi
bility of getting thu i homeless people in
terested in some kind of Industrial pursuit.
The Idea is to establish a factory , in which
the evicted tenants could find employment
It Is proposed , therefore , to incorporate r
stock company , soiling shares In all parts of
the United States , where vor natives of Ireland
or friends of Ireland's cauHO are found. As
soon ns the plans are perfected they will bo
submitted to Parncll , IJavitt nnd O'Brion
for approval. It ia proposed to manufacture
boots , shoes , clothing and underwear. Thcro
is already an underwear factory at MiUllgar ,
which Is run upon thm principle , and is in u
flourishing condition. ,

PAIIIH , May 5. A man who gives thonamo
of Pcrrln , and who says ho is a mnrlno store
keeper , llrcd n blank cartridge at President.
Carnet to-day when the latter wns leaving
the Elyseo palace to attend the centcnnry
celebration nt Versailles. Pcrriii was
promptly nrrestcd. Ho wns taken to the police -
lice station , where ho explained ho had no.
dcslro to kill the president ; ho merely wished
to expose the fact that bo ( Perrln ) was the
victim of injustice. The crowd that had
gathered In the neighborhood of the F.lyseo
to witness the departure of the president be
came greatly excited and threatened to lynch
the prisoner. The police , however , gathered
in force and drove buck tbo indignant cltl-
: cns.
Porrln complained that ho had been un-
ustly punished by the governor of Mar-
Inlque , nnd had appealed in vain. His
nmlly Is in dcstituto circumstances.
President Carnet nnd party proceeded
through Cbuvlllo , where the president was
enthusiastically greeted. Upon reaching
Versailles the president inaugurated n ma
norial tnbl ot nfllxcd to the building in which
.ho states general mot 100 yours ago to-day.
The president and escort then repaired to
.ho Hall of Mirrors , in the palace , where
.herowas a grand assemblage of deputies
nnd senators. Leroyur delivered an address
of welcome to the president. In the course
of his speech ho said :
"It Is no longer the humble deputies of the
third estate , to whom oven the privilege of
standing upright wns denied , but the elected
-opresentatives of the nation , who bowing
joforo their freely elected chief , pay tribute
to the great dead to whom wo ewe our lio-
orty. It becomes these old strugglers for
Iberty to remind us that revolution be-
lueathcd us not only doctrines , but lessons.
If the revolution sinned by the audacity of
ts dreams , wo sin by our want of self-
ibncgntion , by our incomplete knowledge of
our duties , by the hesitation us to our policy.
The date ISS'.t , invites us to realize the union
of hearts in love for our county uud its In
stitutions. "
President Carnet replied : "With ardent
nope for the future , I greet In the palace of
monarchy a representative of a nation that
s now in complete possession of herself ;
Jmtis u mistress of her destinies und that is
n the full splendor and strength of liberty.
The first thoughts of this solemn meeting
: urn to our fathers. That immortal genera-
.ion of 1780 , by dint of courage nnd many
sacrifices , secured for us benefits which wo
mist bequeath to our sons us a most prcc-
ous inheritance. Never can our erntltudo
equal the grandeur of the services rendered
jy our fathers to Franco und to the human
race. " In conclusion the president said :
' They created n now era in history and
founded modern society. After many cruel
shocks. Franco has finally broken with the
icrsonal power of ono man , whatever title
10 may tako. She now rccogni7.es ns solo
sovereign the laws enacted by the repre
sentatives of the nation. "

PAWS , May 5. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to TUB licis.J The shot llred at
President Carnet Just as ho was leaving the
Elyseo on his way to Versailles in no way
disturbed the carrying out of the day's pro
gramme. This bogus attempt upon the life
of the president appears to bo the work of a
maniac anxious to call public attention to his
grievances. It did not prevent M. Cnrnot
from presiding over nn imposing ceremony at
Versailles and delivering a speech which
favorably impressed the president's hearers.
In company with other speakers , ho eulo
gized the work of 17S9 and the men who car
ried it through. M. Tlorard , M. Lcroycr and
Mclino treated of the same subject.
This glorification of the revolution of 1769
ngreos with the sentiments of the immcnso
majority of the people ; indeed , one might say
tnat It is applauded by the unanimous voice
of the French nation. Even those who most
warmly discountenanced the cruelties of
1792 and 1793 , and those who most deeply deplore -
ploro the excesses of the Jacotiins , give a re
spectful salute to the great date of 17S9. The
eminent historians and thinkers , Talno and
Kenan , have conceived and expressed doubts
us to the advantages which Franco derived
from the revolution. The first named , by
reason of his pitiless analytical criticism ,
even passed severe Judgment on the work of
the constituent assembly itself , while the
skepticism of the other spared neither the
worship of the French revolution nor the
other forms of religion.
But it must bo admitted that tbo opinions
of philosophers and saircs have exercised no
Influence on the spirit of the masses.
Yesterday's fcetivities , therefore , constituted
a thorough Frfinch celebration. The French
revolution , from the point of view of
civil right and to a certain extent from u
Boclnl standpoint , produced results which
can never bo lost , though political up
heavals have never allowed Franco to Quito
recover her equilibrium. Thus , nftcr the
lapse of a century. Frenchmen are still debating -
bating as to the beat form of government.
In closing his speech Carnet made an appeal
for concord nod conciliation , lie said that
under the shield of the republic , with con
stitutional rights , let us scak in a spirit of
conciliation , mutual toleration imd harmony ,
the irreshtuble strength of the united people'
of the glorious century wo are now celebratIng
Ing by this solemn , splendid ceremony und
which would bo worthily crowned by the ,
unity of all Frenchmen in uiutual love of the
commonwealth of liberty.
Will this exhortation be listened to and
taken to heart by the parties that wo now
see prepared to fly at enoh other's throats
and tear each other to pieces I Lot us hope
so , for the sake of France. So many resolu
tions , and so much civil warfare , have cer
tainly earned for her the right to live and
labor in pence.

BOSTONMass. . , May 5. [ Special Telegram
.0 Tin : BEB.I A Globe special of this cven-
ng says that the recent sinking of the llttlo
.teaincr . Carlotta , In the Merrimac river , just
below Mitchell's Falls , was marked by the
wonderful feat of the bicyclist , Jnmos Webb ,
ind several other wheelmen , who wcro on
ho deck of the steamer. Webb was mounted
n his bicycle doing the "stand still" act ,
vhcn the Carlotta , under a full head of
team , made a rush to ascend tno rapids ,
but , before reaching them the boat
ivas thrown out of her course. Going nt n
ilgh rate of speed , she struck on n smooth
edge which rises out of thu water nt the foot
f the fulls with such force that the boat was
carried half her length on the slippery sur-
'ace. The propeller then broke in two on
bo rock nnd tbo Carlotta sank like a bar of
cad.
cad.Webb's
Webb's friends all managed to swim
ashore , with no more damage than a thorough
Lvettmg , but V.'ebb and his bicycle were
thrown over ttio sldo of the vessel and sank
mmediately. Webb is thoroughly nt homo
n the water , and when ho went
overboard , ho dldnot. . thin , k , . . of let
ting go of his bicyclo. as it was
too valuable to loso. The wheel mnst have
slid down between two stones , for when the
machine struck the bottom It remained up
right. Instinctively , Webb's feet sought
the pedals , und putting forth all his muscle ,
ie actually propelled the bicycle over tbo
lioavy sand bottom and up the ledge for a
distance of sixty feet. It can bo easily im-
iglnca what cheers erected the appearance
of his wheel above the water.
Webb has become emthusiastlo over his
submarine cycling and says that as soon as
"ic can devise sorno way of keeping up n
supply of air , that he will try for n ono mile
bicvclu record under water. Ho is prepared
to receive challenges.
