There U lint little expectation in well informed Catholic circles that Archbishop Keuriek will at the next consistory be elevated to the cardinal-ate- . The Archbishop, who U the oldest of living American Archbishops, is now in his eighty-tiftt- i year. He i regarded as being too advanced in years to be selected for this great distinction, al-though Koine usually confers such an exalted olliee only on men who have become venerable in the church. If an-other Cardinal's hat is to come to America it is thought it will bu con forrcd on Fehan. of C licago. ho is a wise and conservative, church man. and who compared with Keuriek. is a young man. Ireland, of St. I'.itil. and Corn-gan- , of New York, are not now thought of in connection with the oilice, al-though they were prominently men-tioned for it sometime ago. THE PRINCE OF WALES WAS THERE. ' I.ady Mary NeUon Married to Ult'hard VYaUU at St. UtMrtfe'N Ihureli. London, pec. 13. Special cable-gram to TllK Times. A brilliant mar-- j rtage was solemnized today at St. George's church, Hanover square. Tho j contracting parties were Lady Mary Nelson and Richard Walsh. Tho prince and princess of Wales were present at the ceremony. The bride, is the young-est daughter of Karl Nelson. She is the descendant of the great Lord Nel-son's sister, Mrs. Malum, whoso son succeeded as second earl. The nearest lineal descendants from Kngland s great sailor are Lord Uridport and his laniilv, and they spring from the (irst Karl Nelson, the celebrated admiral's brother, whose only son died unmar-ried, ami w hose only daughter was tho mother of the present Lord liridport. The estate of Bronte in Sicily, on which tho viscount and his son and daughter have gone to pass the winter, was on Lord Nelson, together with the dukedom, after his successful attack on Coperihagan. 0TllFI)AlilBLFI!ll'. Walter Earttelott Airs Himself Concern-ing tho Allegations Made by Henry M, Stanley. - EVIDENTLY SOKE (WE IS A LIAE. Aftor Conquering the Solitude Stanley Must Now Appease Civilization But His Book is Popular- - London, Dee. l:t. Walter Barttolntt, brother of the lato Mayor Barttelott, writes to the Times: All that Stanley said about mo is untrue. It is also uu-tru-that my brother wrote me to pre-vent Tropli from divulging anything or that Stanley or his officers warned me not to publish my brother's diary. Itonney told me some, not all of tho tales, but he at the same time told stories t the discredit of nearly every officer of the expedition, including Stanley. The latter's book and all his subsequent accusations are full of irreconcilable, contradictions and inconsistences. It is largely made up of scou rings of camp gossip. Stanley lias done this to cover his own culpabil-ity. He encloses a leitcr from Lieuton-cu- t Iiaert testifying to Major Bartto-lot'- s indomitable energy and courage. Lieutenant Iiaert says he was on the spot, but never heard any accusations that Stanley made. STILL ON THE IK The Police Committee with Old Westen-holm- e as Chairman Begins its Inquisition Today- - GREEDY GAEKOTEKS AT WORK. Tbey Overpower a Woman snd Rob the House Spicy Pickings from thj Police. The police committee consisting of Alderman Westenholme as chairman, with Aldermen .fames Anderson, M. K. Parsons, J. A. Pendleton and Henry Heath as confreres, began their inquir-ies this morning at lOo'clockiu thecdllee of City Marshal John M. Young. The doors were closed and while there was no quarrantine that denied entranco to the reporters it was the express de-sire of the board that they be permitted to conduct their delibera-tions without prejudice that often ema-nates unintentionally from the press. The case under consideration today is that of Ollicer M. Merrill, who is charged by Officer Cantlan with having assaulted him. The details of the affair that is entitled to no more dignity than that of an episode are well known to "the finest." John Hurt, a well known contractor, had been arrested for taking in too much of the anient. He was arrested by Ollicer Wier who preferred a charge of drunkenness. At 10 o'clock the fol-lowing morning Ollicer Merrill who, like a man of gratitude, felt himself under obligations for favors that antedated his membership of the police force, went into the jail and saw Mr. Burt. The prisoner was without money and unfolding this fact to Officer Mor-rill, tho latter gave him a check to de-posit for his appearance, liurt departed and the lollowing day was lined, the check which had been deposited with Sergeant McCurdy going in payment thereof. These facts seem to have piqued ('ant-Ia-and ho entered another charge against the contractor. To this tho manhood of Officer Merrill took excep-tions and a physical interview is said to have been the result. Mr. Merrill states that lie simply pushed Canllan into a chair while the latter states that he was violently handled. The police committee are looking into the matter and are somewhat amused at the mag-nitude of the off ense. A Oaring Kohbery Last night a brace of garroters called at a residence on Sixth West and Third South and undertook to sell a clock to the lady who had responded to their raps.

The fact that Ofli er William Parker was instrumental in tho locating of Bell the Pueblo murderer was uninten-tionally overlooked in the report of the capture Ho did excellent work. A number of the articles recovered by .Marshal Young and Officer Parker were identilied today. Louis Brown and William Bray, who were arrested by Ollicer Parker for robbing Schades saloon, were held to the grand jury in the sum of $1000 each. They are in durance. John Potter, the man who was ar-rested for vagrancy, is on trial this af-ternoon. William Diamond has secured Judge Powers to defend him. He will plead next week before Judge Laney. The burglary cases in which Charles Ward and wife and Thomas Delaney and wile are defendants came up for hearing at 3 o'clock bafore Judge La-ney. . . CONGRESSIONAL. SENATE.

Washington, Dec. 13. Representa-tive Dockery (Missouri) today appeared before t he committee on rules and made statement relative to his resolution for iuquiry as to the allegation twelve senators and fifteen representatives, parties to the silver pool prior to the passage of the silver bill, through w hich pool one million dollars protitg were obtained. Dockery stated that he had no per-sonal knowledge of the facts in the case. His resolution cited a statement made in a special Washington- dispatehl to the, St. LouiM-lob- e Democrat. Dockery thought the latter deserved an investigation and the committee took the subject into advisement. The c;tbinet meeting yesterday con-sidered the financial condition of the country and the result is that the presi-dent, it is understood, will send a message to congress next week suggest-ing as a measure of relief the enactment of legislation for the issue of additional currency based on the increased silver purchases. At a meeting of the republican sena-torial caucus committee today to devise a scheme of liuaucial relief, after dis-cussing the subject for an hour.the com-mittee referred it to a composed of Senators Shermau, Alli-son. Aldrich, Plumb and Teller. This w as done in the hope that they could agree upon some definite project. Attorney (ieneral Miller today re-turned to the president all papers in regard to tho Columbian World's Fair with the statement that they met all the legal requirements necessary for the president's proclamation. The presi-dent will investigate the financial suf-ficiency of the subscriptions before issu-ing the proclamation. The president today sent to the senate the nomination of William O. Orton to be probate judge of Garfield county, L'tsth. lu "initli C arolina. Coi.r.MiiiA, I'ec. 13. -- A warrant has been sworn out by a new spnpcr man against Attorney-Genera- l Hope.

He received a dis-patch from Omaha whim says no battle occurred between troops and Indians near l'ine Kidge agency as reported. THE DIVORCE MILL. A Uark-eye- d Hhake a Drank rn anil liiasolute llii.banil. The caso of Lenore Humphreys vs. Kugnne Humphreys came up before Judge Kane shortly before adjournment for equatorial hash and tho plaiutigwas granted a decree that launches another poetic soul into The petitioner, in tho absence of his lordship, was invited to tho wituess chair. She was "impressive." A pair of dark eyes peered from a profusion of bancs that were as dark as Lgyp-tio-midnight, while the parting lips disclosed two jows of teeth as white as Italian mat hie. 'Yes, your honor," she lisped, "ho went away without saying a word and I've never seen hint since. Ho ran around o' nights, was a member of a lodge, got drhnk and when he came home things were not pleasant for him. Of course they were not pleasant," and the lustrous" sparkle from her dark eyes fringed the syllable with au emphasis that made tho blood of the married man run cold. "Did he not assign any reason for leaving you?" asked tho court. 'None whate-e- r, your lienor. He simply said I was not making it pleas-ant for him and then hu quit me." The decree of divorce was granted. Moro Silver l eslslation. Washington, Dec. 13. Senator Power today introduced an amend-ment to the bill to reduce the amount of United States bonds required of Na-tional banks so as to provide that when-ever notes retired under the existing law s governing National banks, shall aggregate one million it shall be the duty of the secretary of the treasury to purchase silver bullion to the same amount and to pay for the same with United States notes.

This omission is however unimportant, since there is no urgent ueid of legislation on this subject at present, and tho at-tention of the legislature and tho time at its disposal will be fully taken up by matters of immediate and press-ing interest and importance. The honor of introducing the first bill into the lir.st legislature of the state of Idaho bel ings lo Senator (lay. of Ada. This is a bill of considerable importance and gives district judges to appoint clerks of the district court in any coun-ty where there is a vacancy in the of-fice. The lull was passed on third read-ing under a suspension cf the rules and ot once messaged to the house. One of tho jnlliest members of the first slate egilature of Idaho is Briggs of Bingham. Ho is a big rancher, has a strong face, on which sets a lirnt, de-cisive nose and wears a mustache like that of a bandit king. He tells a good story and tells it well, and loves to tell it. too. His name appears on three of the most important of the house com-mitteespublic lands, labor and immi-gration and irrigation and water rights. The speaker's desk and chair in the house of representatives were made for big men I mean men big physically. The present speaker is not a giant and the result, is a mislit. His chair, is so high that his feet bandy touch the lloor and it is with some difficulty that he (, gets bis eyes above the level of the top i,. , ot his desk. It is also worthy of tiote that the speaker smokes a pipe iq his chair in the mornings before tho i lioiiso is called to order. The rules adopted forbid smoking in tho house while it is in session. Apropos of the rules a rather amus-ing incident occurred when they came up for adoption. ( uc clause was taken ley the democrats to mean an adoption of the ianums "lieed Kiiles" of the na-tional house. The democrats at once rai-e- d a howl, but were at length satis-lie- d by the explanation of the commit-tee that no measure of that kind was contemplated, as the republicans had such a majority that it was not neces-sary. A joint committee of three each from the senate and house to adopt a great seal for the state of Idaho. It is prob-ubl- e that the great seal of the territory of Idaho will be adopted with the change of the word "territory" to '.stnle." The first bill in the house was intro-duced by Mr. Price, of Alturas. It is a bill providing that the judges of the Mipreme court lix the time for the holding of the terms of the court, ap-point cerlain officers of the court and lix the salaries of the same. lie was immediately followed by Mr. Mills, of Alturas, who introduced two bills in regard to registration, elections and the printing of ballots at the public ex-pense.

A DIAMOND DID II Verdict of the Coroner' Jury in the Tragedy That Was Enacted. Yes M terday Morning, " Dh THE SLATER'S EESTLES3 EIGHT. , u r ' 9. Additional Particulars of the latest Horn- - 2 icidu in the Criminal E.cords of Salt Lako. g0 Hilly Diimnnd the slayer of Edward Seolt passed a inUerahlu night. He was iinuliln to sleep, The god of slum-he- r refused to yield to his persistent Q courtship ami all through tho night ho "1 paeed the door of hU cell. Shortly " after midnight the turnkey went to hitn f. and asked if there was anything he desired, 'All he wished for was a Ui piteher of w ater. It w as served ina tin cup. Diamond drank from it like a A jaded traveler of the tlesert. Ho would hare swallowed twice as much had it been tendered him. He was aflamo with remorse. An April shower would not have heen unwelcome. "I am tho most unhappy man In the world." said he, "and wish I never was horn. This is awful. I wouldn't have Ed's blood on these hands for a crown My (Jot); my (Jod. This was his wail through the night and once when a drunken recruit heard him ho began to jibe and ridicule. The turnkey was not slow in administering an anaesthetic aud Diamond wasagaii left to his own taunlincr reflections. Ii the meantime a copy of the verdict rendered at the coroner's inquest had been served upon him. There was nothing in that to indicate where he stood and he asked (or a laywcr. The jailer had none to recommend. He knew Stewart was engaged and Eicbnor had to prosecute. The latter had made out a complaint charging the prisoner with murder, and on his ar-raignment today the murderer pleaded not guilty. The evidence adduced at the coro-ner's inquest was corroborative of the report that appeared in these columns yesterday. Dr. It. W. Fisher tostitied to having gone to Dr. Kndries' office where he saw deceased. Ha aided in the effort to revive the wounded man, but the poor fellow perished in it short time. His death in the opinion of the witness, was caused by the loss of blood. Ho was corroborated by Dr. Werth-ingto- Dr. Kndries, to whose office the - doomed man was taken, testified that the cut was three incites in depth and that the poor fellow died at 11 5 a. ru. . Geo. T. Bctts, tho contractor, by whom Scott was employed as foreman, testitii d that he had spoken to Stt"" -- , h .toforeoce to the laying oft of DiS c moudj "Iliad too manv men on tho pay roll," continued hlr. I.etts, 'and tin's was my reason." Diamond" came to whero we were working this mornigg, about 9 o'clock, and started a quarrel with the foreman. and accused him of laying him off, say-ing it was dono for spite. I told him 't was not. His work had not been en-tirely satisfactory and I had thought of laying him off a month ago, but Scott interceded auil I kept him, knowing that the two men were friends. The quarrel was continued, but Scott tried to pacify the man, saying that he did not want to quarrel with him, and tried to laugh it off, but Diamond struck him in the fact. The two men grappled and fell, Scott falling on top. We sep-arated them and I asked Diamond to keep quiet. I supposed they would and he went in the shop. He still continued to abuse Scott, and Mr. Oliver stepped up and said, "This don't go, you are both members of the union, ani this is not gentlemanly." I said if he did not keep quiet I would send for un ollicer. I would have sent him away before but I wanted to give him a chance to get his tools and I wanted to pay him. I stepped out and heard a scrabble and a blow and saw Diamond standing there with a chisel in his hand. Scott said, "My (.oil! he's killed me." I took hold of Scott and told a man to tele-phone for a physician. I saw ho went the wrong way, and I started to hunt a telephone. On the way I met a boy with a wagon, and I got him to come and haul the wounded man up town. Diamond helped Mr. Oliver and myself lo load tho man in the wagon. Dia-mond said, "1 wish it had only been myself." When I saw the wound I did not think it was fatal, but thought that if a physician was secured at once the cut could be sewed up and the man would recover. W. li. Olliver after testifying to the details of the meeting and "mentioning the fact that Diamond had appealed to most abusive epithets said: "I heard a scuffle and going into the shop separ-ated them. Soon after 1 heard another scuffle and hurrying to the place saw Diamond leaning against the wall with a chisel in his hand. Ho asked Dia-mond why he had done it when the latter said: "I done it Billy; take this chisel and kill mo." Witness then took hold of Scott who was about to faint, and assisted in placing him in the con-veyance to tho doctor's office. J. L. (.recti testified that he had re-ported late for work and saw Diamond on the ground. "Hello Billy," said he, "what's the matter?" when he replied. "Oh, 1 am sick today." Witness then went into the shop a few minutes later and saw evidences of a light. Diamond, he tes-tified, applied all sorts of names to Scott anil linally told him if he would step out he would do him. Scott, in re ply, said he had no desire to quarrel, but Diamondcontinued to hurl his anath-emas. The next thing ho observed was when a mau entered with a hammer he had found and went to the tele-pon- e. lien Mason testified as follows: I was working between the shop and house laying sidewalk when I heard Mr. Oli-ver callinu to me to bring a bucket of water. When I camo with the water I saw Mr. Scott with a handkerchief bound around his head, t saw Dia-mond and said to him: "Billy, this is a fearful thing. How could you do it." Ho said, hesitatingly: "Scott called me a ,and I threw my chisel at him." He was grinding his chisol on the grindstone. The evidence submitted; the jury re-tired and brought in a verdict that Ed-ward Scott came to his death from $ wound inflicted by a chisel in the hanfe of William Diamond. Will Pay In Full.

Could lluve Xrriirrri the Ontario Hotel if T'ic y had Stuck r. ' The architects are having a time of it," said a Timks reporter to Mr. Dallas of Dallas & Hedges. "The architects have themselves to blame," replied Mr. Hedges. "There havo been too many petty jealousies in the profession and this discussion will do good by unitiug them together. There is more talent here than one would imagine, and whatever credulity exists in the public mind as to their efficiency is due to the architects themselves. The Ontario Hotel com-pany wanted to employ a local architect, but the architects who thought they had no chance at it got at work pulling to pieces the architects that had, and even these tried to enhance their own fame hy dragging down the professional reputation ot their rivals. If that build-ing was the product of a local architect it would rellect for all time the profes-sional skill of some local citizen, and wouldjlikely give him fame, besides the money it" will bring. I dare say that the company pays the foreign architects at least (i or 7 per cent com-mission, berries paying a clerk which will not cost, less than $10 a day. A home architect would have glad-ly takrn it for four per cent. The competition in underbidding by the local profession has cheapened their work in the eyes of the public." The Market Today. New Youk, Dec. 13.
