Shormau retired, but that grade waa merged in the > ank of general of the army, which was restored by Congreaa on Uie active list only recently. With his death both these ranks disappear from the active list. Though tha career of Gen. Hchofiel i; has not been marked by the brilliancy of his old class­ mate, Gen. Sheridan, and though ho has not risen to the height, of Gen. Grant or Gen. Sher­ man, he has proved himself a gallant soldier, and has filled positions of great responsibility with credit to himaelf and the service. Of his ability to command the army there is no ques­ tion. Hia large experience and scholarly ac­ quirements, joined to his knowledge of the pro­ fession of arma and his naturally prudent and judicious disposition, are ample guarantees that the army will be in safe keeping, and that the intereata of the country, so far as they depend npon the military department, will not suffer, though the three greatest Generals of the war have disappeared, two by death and one by re­ tirement. Major General John McAllister Schofield is a native of New York, having been born In Chau­ tauqua County, Sept. '2J, 1831, the year that Gen. Sheridan was uorn, and he 'graduated in the class with him. Young Schofield was as­ signed to the Second Artillery, and for five years acted as instructor in natural philosophy at West Point. Next he went to St. Louis on a leave of absence from the army and filled the chair of natural philosophy in the Washington University of that city. In May, 1861. be was appointed a Captain, and waa almoat immediately promoted to Major of the First Missouri Infantry, and subsequently became chief of staff to General Lyon, and waa with him when the latter fell in the battle of Wilson's Creek. In November, 1861, hebsdbeen promoted to be Brigadier General, and assigned to the command of the Missouri militia, and in April, 1862, he became commander of the district of Missouri. General Schofield saw much active service in Missouri and acquitted himself BO creditably that in the fall he was given command of the frontier, including the Kansas as well as the Missouri troops. He signalized hia promotion by forcing the Confederates down into the Ar- kans as V alley, defeating them in the memor­ able battle at Mayaville. near Pea Ridge, Ark. He was made a major general of volunteer* November 28, 18U2. In May, 1804, hs joined General Sherman's army, and partici­ pated in all the movements up to and including the battle of Atlanta, commanding the Twenty- third Corps. In November he was sent to assist General Tbomat>, repulsed Hood and was in com­ mand at the battle of Franklin, one of the hottest of the minor engagements. He also participated with distinction in the battle of Nashville, Dec. 15 and 1C. Previous to this battle, Nov. 30. 1864 he had been made a brigadier general in the regular army. After the defeat of Hood's army General Scho­ field was transferred to North Carolina, and his command took posassion of Wilmington Feb 22, 1863, and then advanced to Go'dsboro, which he reached ahead of General Sherman's army, after defeating the Confederates in several engage­ ments. On March 13,1805, he waa brevetted Major General in the regular army for bravery at Franklin. On tho reorganization of the regular army at the close of the war he assumed hia rank of Brigadier and Brevet Major General, and in July, 1867, he was appointed to the command of the first military diatrict,'comprising the State of Virginia. On the resignation of General Grant from that position General Schofield was ap­ pointed Secretary of War for the time being, and May 30, 1SCS, he was confirmed in the ottio* by the Senate, but resigned the following March. He was then assigned to the command of the Department of tho Missouri, and on March 4, 1809, was made a full Major General. Whan General Hancock died he was assigned to the command of the Division of the Atlantic, and haa since been stationed on Governor's laland. THE SON OF HIS FATHER. V " -------------- Touag Albert Paraoai to Be Reared tin Anarchist--Hie Picture. [Chicago apecial diapatch.] Mrs. Lucy Parsons, the famoua widow of the late anarchist leader, was busy preparing for a short Bummer journey to Waukesha, Wis., when she was ap- Sroached at her home, to. 785 Milwaukee ave­ nue, by a reporter. She was in her happiest vein, and as sarcaatio as ever. "I suppose you want an interview about something or other," said Mrs. Parsons, her eyes snapping. "You can tell the public that an anarchist is going on a simmer vacation. That is a startling nov­ elty, isn't it?" "Have you read what the New York Sun aaya about your intention re­ garding thd education of your boy Albert "1 suppose tiie Sun would take my boy from me and have him educated for the ministry," ex- daisied Mrs. Parsons, after reading the Sun ed­ itorial. "I shall educate him aa I see fit. I don't care to talk about it. A reporter was up here threo or four weeks ago and wrote up a lot of stuff I never said. You may put this down: If I live my boy shall be raised an Anarchist. If I die I ain iiot responsible for his training. Yes," continued the woman, in tones of in­ tense hatred, "I will educate him all right. Every night he shall kneel down and pray. I will tell him that Julius Grinnell is Jesus Christ, and that Judge Gary is the Lord. I will tell him that Gary has permitted him to live. Gary! Gary! The name almost chokes me. I met him face to face a few days ago. He waa coming out <>f the Court House. Did you hear about it 7" Mrs. Parsons picked up an old cane and imi­ tated Judge Gary's walk. "He came along with bis head down. He did not see me, but I saw him. I walked right into him. He half fell and looked at me in a dazed sort of way. " 'You bloody old murderer,' sold I, 'if I had a knife I'd stab you where you stand, you miaer- able old villain.' Little Albert waa an interested listener. His blue eyes followed every motion made by the nn ther, and he joined iu the laugh which fol­ lowed the close of the tragic rehearsal. "He does not Icok like a bloodhound, does he?" Suestioned Mrs. Parsons, with a fond look at 10 handsome boy. "He is a pupil of the Chi­ cago public schools and hus beea attending tho Kosciusko Grammar School, near hare. They have taught liiiu to sing patriotic songs. You ahould hear him sing 'Hflil Columbia, Happy Land,' 'Yankee Doodle,' 'My Country, 'Tie' of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty.'

It is said that an object could not be diaUogulahed fifty feet away by reason of th© fog. StorleB differ as to where the liability lies, if not wholly due to the fog and heavy sea. The Thingvalla struck the Geiaer on the starboard side amidships, close on to 4 o'clock in the morning. The boa B then parted and within five minutes the Geiser sunk. The crew of the Thingvalla did all they could to save the Geiser's crew and passengers while still in doubt as to whether the Thingvalla was not dangerously disabled, but, owing to the heavy sea, only tnirty-one were saved. No other vessel was near at the time. The Wieland, on her way to this port, was sighted at 11:30 o'clock on the morning of the 14th. Signa of distress were made by the Thingvalla, and. a transfer of passengers began. The sua was then very heavy: but no mishap occurred in the transfer of pas- sengers.. . , urn*-;-,.

A List of the Lost Made Up from the Paa- •enger Registry-Booh. Many of the victims of the Geiaer were excur­ sionists from Minneapolis, Minn. It was the third party which hod gone from Minneapolis this seat-ON by the Thingvalla liae. Extra in­ ducements were offered excursionists, bacause a World's Exposition is now being held in Copen­ hagen, Native I of Norway and Sweden embraced this oppcrtunity to visit their homes, and the ma'ority of outgoing passengers were residents of the Northwest.

Second Officer Jorgensen gave a graphic de­ scription of the collision. He said: 1 was asleep in my bunk when I heard a shock, and I immediately went on deck. Taking in the situation at a glance I ordered all handa on deck. Then 1 swung myself off on the bow of the Thingvalla und scrambled to her deck. The doomed craft sunk grace­ fully, Stern first, with her bow in the air. Most everybody was sou I d asleep, and when she began to fill I could bear groans and heartrending •creams coming from below. Those who reached the deck made frantic efforts to cut down the boats, but they were too excited to be successful. They finally grabbed up pieces of wood aud jumped over tho tide of the vessel." The chief officer of each veB6el was on deck at the time of the collision. The third officer, Petersen, to'.d much the same story of the oc­ currence. He said the fog was very dense. Through the night rain had fallen at inter­ vals, and the first he knew of the (reiser's approach waa when she appeared on the starboard aide right upon them. Both vesaela attempted to sheer off, being head on. The Geiser was struck opposite the engine-rooms, amidships. The Goiter, being heavily loaded, was very low in the water, so that the Th ng- vallft curried away her own compartment. The upper part of her bow ran over the decks of tne Greiser. The Geiser's deck-houses were carried away aud the state-rooms were smashed in and the occupants killed. He heard a bell ring in the Geiser S engine-room but could not tell what the order was. Offioer Petersen was on deck AT the time. He heord the bell ring again, this time t > back, and the steamer had just commenced to reverse when the Thingvalla struck. The (ieiser'S whistle was blowing at the time. Kecond Officer Jorgensen jumped for the Thingvalla when they struck, and was hauled on the Thingvalla'3 deck by some of thqlatter'A crew. KARRATI YES OF THE SURYIVORS. Thrilling Experiences of Those Who Were Rescued from the IU-Futeil Craft. Annas Wilse, a civil engineer of Minneapolis, one of the passengers on the Geiser, said: "About 4 o'clock I was awakened by a slight shock and, thinking we had struck a rock, I went on deck just as some one shouted: 'She ia sinking.' 1 found we had been struck on the atarboard side about amidships. There were at that time four or five men working at the boats. I had a cork jacket and felt comparatively safe, So I called to the people down-stairs and then watched the boat sink. As she went down I Stuck to her and was carried down several hun­ dred feet, I believe. Soon I felt myself shcoting up through the water, impelled by my cork jacket. 1 was on the top of tho water for per­ haps half an hour. I clim ed on the keel of a small boat floating upside down and was finally picked up." MISS Biork, a steerage passenger on the Thing­ valla, was thrown from her bunk by the collision, and without waiting for any clothing rushed on deck. She could see the lights of another vets j1 apparently only a few feet away and could hear heart-rending shrieks coining across the water. Misa Biork remained on deck until the lights of the Geiser settled down gradually nearer and nearer the waves and were finally engulfed, showing that the ship had gone to the bottom of the sea. Then with a Cry of horror she turned to go l>elow aud was met by a throng of shri king passengers ascending. "The ship is sinking I ' they cried. "I don't care, I am going down," said Miss Biork, and she did go down the companion way over the beads of tae mob, as a boy coutts down hill, Having reached the steerage Miss Biork crawled into her berth. "What are you do ng there?" shriek id a pas­ senger. "The ship is going d wn." "All right," ssld the philosophical Miss Biork. "If she does I'd rather be drowned in bed than in tiie midst of a lot of savages," and she staid in her berth until order wau fully restored on the ship. - .

[Chicago special dlapatoh.] Two of the moat important arrests made In Chicago in a long time were those of Fred Ober- kainpf and Thomas F. Mack. The former is an unmarried man, aged about '29. He is well educated, speaking several languages, and dreaBea well. He represented himself to bethe assistant superintendent of an insurance com­ pany to the lady where he roomed. Running behind on his rent, he gave his landlady a forged check, which waa tl.o direct cans3 of his arrest and the examination of hli effects. His two "grips" were found to contain a large amount of letters, packages, etc., evidently stolen from the mails, as the stamps bad all been torn off and there were BO postmarks. Several letters wore fyund on the prisoner and also two chocks, one for :fl,0U > and one fo: $83. At first tho prisoner denied everything, but finally contded toon oTicor the iden ity of his part­ ner, v,h i gives the ntmo of Thomas F. Majk. The latter was arrested when abjut starting on a fishing jaunt with his wife and another lady. Mack submitted quietly, and accompanied tho officer back to his home and turned over to tim a bundle of papers. These papers proved to be checks, i-isur'ince policies, trust deeds, title deeds, etc. Tho prisoner declared that he knew nothing about tuoin and that he was only tak­ ing care of them for Oberkampf. He admitted, finally, that Oberkampf had a key with which he opened the postal boxes on the streets, and also that he had shsred with hiru tho money ob­ tained cn the forged check. \ Oberkampf has admitted having robbed the Chicago mail boxes, and says he has only kept a few of the letters and securities--that ha was in the habit of destroying them. The property in checks, drafts, deeds, stock, etc., recovered, represents abt ut $1,000,000, the checks and drafts atone amounting to over $100,000. Below are given the names of Bome of the makers of t he checks recovered by the officers, together with the amounts: Leopold Mayer & Son, $5,000; Merchants' L. <fe T. Co.

D. Kimbark, $1,000. Both were held in $5,000, and being unable to secure ball were remanded to jaiL About Mack's career nothing ia yet known, but Oberkampf belongs to a good family in Berlin, Germany. He has been in thia country nearly three years and has never worked a day here. He has made a good living by pilfering the mails, using the money he found in the letters and Belling the postage-stamps. The stamps which he soaked off the envelopes he re- mucilaged and sold at a prominent drug store. There yet remain a trunkful of letters and securities which the authoritiea have not ex­ amined, and which will make the total amount of the robbery much greater. All the property is now in possession of the Government and cannot be returned to the rightful owners until after the trial of the prisoners. A number of letters found by the officers were mailed in ls8(i, showing that the thefts had been going on lor about two years. DEATH OF CHARLES CROCKER. The Calfrornla Railroad MllUonhlre Ex­ pires at Monterey. [Monterey (Cal.) special.] Charles Crocker, Vice President of the South­ ern Pacific Railroad Company, died in this city. Charles Crocker Was a millionaire at least twenty times over. He was born in New York State of a poor family sixty-six years ago. Early in the pio­ neer days of California he emigrated to the land of gold, but, being unflt- ted for the work of min­ ing, contented himself (with starting a small 'dry-goods storo in Sac­ ramento. He was care­ ful, abstemious, and en­ ergetic, and in ten years had accumulated about CHARLE8 CROCKER. 000 When in 1860 a man named Judah conceived the notion of building a transcontinental rail­ road and unfolded it in Mark Hopkins' hardware store at Sasramento to Hopkins, Lelan i Stan­ ford. Crocker, and other Sacramento croniee they immediately seized upon it and proceeded to put it into execut on. The history of the building of the Central Pacific Koad and the fortunes it made for its projectors is an old story. Crocker arose from the position of a dealer in threads and needles to that of a millionaire railroad man. He moved from Sacramento to San Francisco and there built for himself a palatial residence at a cost ol $1,6X),0X). Two years or so ago he built » mag­ nificent house in New York City on West Fifty- fourth street and has since made it his home, although he retained a legal residence in Cali­ fornia. Col. Frod Crocker and William Crocker were with their father at the time of hia death. The deceased leaves one other son, George, who lives in Nevada, and a daughter, Mrs. Chftiflea H. Alexander, who is in Europe. ,v-T AMELIE RIVES' TRAGEDY Th* Author of tho "Quick or the Dead" Ventures Deeper--A Thrilling Work. [New York Special.] Amelie Bives--as she still signs herself--the young Virginia authoress, has written anew Work which is likely to cause a senaatlon In comparison with which the furor over her fa­ mous novel, "The Quick or the Dead ?"will prove insignificant. "H e r o d and Mariamne," a trag­ edy from her pen, will be published complete in Lippimott's Magaxine for September. The work is founded on the h i s t o r y o f H e r o d t h e Great, as related bv Jo- aephus, and formed tho Bubject of one of Vol­ taire's classic tragedies. The plain, unvarnished tale of Herod's cruelties AHELIE RIVES, as found in the p.iges of the "History o1 the Jews" cannot fair to make the reader shudder. Mrs. Uives-Chanler r>as tinder- stood perfectly how to adapt the incidents tc dramatic purposes, and the result is beyond doubt the strongest work in that particular field ever produc d by an American author. Foi power of o\pro6siou, depth of f ueling, brilliancy of imagination--for the work is imaginative deapite the historical foundation--and ability of construction, "Herod and Mariamne" is not ex­ celled by any modern tragedy, and muBt be re­ garded as a work of geniua. Of the literary merits and demerita the crltica will have much ^ say. , A ^ENUINESPECTACLE. Midsummer Nighfi Dream, as Presented at McVicker's Theater.

(with a formal amendment); Senate bill to­ rn tify an agreement with tbe Indiana «T Fort. Berthoiil egmey, Dakota; Senate bill appropri­ ating *25,000 to improve and encourage- the cultivation and manufactan of flax and hemp. The House consumed the* whole afternoon in the conaiderallcn of a war claim bill, the discuasion turning upon the loyalty of the claimant. No action waa taken. The Senate joint resolution authorizing; the Preaident to present a gold medal to Francis. Josephs for hia services in uerfecting life-saving apparatus- was passed. Tne House paaascf forty-one pension bills, thirty-flvo of them being* acted upon at the evening session. Both houeeet agreed to the oonferonce report on the bill grant­ ing aid to Btate homes for disabled volunteers. The provisions of the bill are extended to terri- : torial homes, and ita benefits are confined to homes entirely under tbe Btate or territorial < cohtrol. EXTENDED speecbea In relation to tbe fiaberiea treaty were made iu the Senate tbe 13tb, and the' discussion was continued. The Senate adopted Mr. Edmunds' resolution calling on tbe Attorney General for copies of correspondence between. : tbe Department of Justice and the Supervisor • of F.lectioas in the city of New York on the sub- ' ject of mgisi ration and election. The House- commenced the consideration of the fortifies^- ' tione appropriation bill by seotions, but ' little profcrasB. The Senate bill increasing to $30a month the rats of pension for total densf uesa waa' paesed. Congressman Lawler introduced a bill: i t.j amend the interstate commerce law by I making it unlawful for common carriers to trans- i port any commodity in cars or vehicles owned, least d, or controlled by the shipper thereof, or to make contracts with the shippers to convey property in such cars. It also gives to the per­ son complaining all fines imposed and collected for violation of tha act. The District of Colum­ bia Zoological 1 ark bill was recommitted to> the District Committee after a long debate. MB. KF.AGAN introduced in the Senate, tbe 14th, a bill to define trusts and to provide for the punlahment of persons connectod with them or carrying theim on. After some discus­ sion on the rights of Congress on the subject, the same was referred to tne Finance Commit­ tee. Mr. Sherman introduced a bill to declare- truai a aud combluatious in restraint of trade and production unlawful, and it was referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Morgan occupied the floor of the Senate when the consideration of the fisheries treaty woe- resumed. He devoted himself principally to a defense of Secretary Bayard and to criticising the Republican Senators for the manner in which they had opposed the ratification of the treaty. Representative T. J. Campbell (N. Y.) introduced in the House a bill giving General Sheridan's widow a pension of 96,000 a year. Mr. Townshend made an ineffectual fight to se­ cure consideration of the deficiency appropria­ tion bill in committee of the whole house, and tbe whole afternoon was wasted in fruitless roll-calls. The Houae has agreed to the Senat* amendments to the bill f r a marine hospital at Evansville. Ind. THE fisheries debate in the Senate gravitated, the 15th, into a dlacusaion of Gen. Harrison'* record on the Chinese question and his fitness for the Presidency. When the Senate went in to- open executive aeaslon Mr. Morgan rose to re­ sume his argument iu favor of postponing ac­ tion on the treaty till December, but tne discua­ sion merged into one of a political nature in re­ gard to the Chinese question, and the Senate passed Mr. Shtirman's resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for a statement of the amounts deposited in national banks on August 1, 1883, and of the* amount and description of United States t onda and oth r securities pledged for the repayments of such deposits. The lack of a quorum waa de­ veloped vp^'U the assembling of the House, not- more than a hundred members voting on a mo­ tion to reconsider the vote on the amendment 1 extending the provisions of the Columbus con- ; tennial bill to various other cities. Tbe matter was then dropped and the House went into com­ mittee on the fortification bill. A lengtby dis­ cussion followed, and the bttl went over. SOON after assembling the Senate went into open executive session on the fisheries treaty, the 16th, and voted on Mr. Morgan'a resolution to postpone it till December next. The resolu­ tion waa disagreed to -- yeas 24, naya 27. soon as tha vote was taken legis-Aa lative buainess waa resumed. The con­ ference report on the army appioprio- tion bill waa then taken up. After some discus­ sion the bill was concurred in--yeas, 30; nays. 11. The House fortifioation bill" was presented' and referred to tbe Committee on Appropria­ tions. The Senate then went into open e>ecu tive session on the fisheries treaty, and tho presiding officer directed that the tresty be read by sections. Pending tho debate the Senate adjourned. The House man­ aged to pass the fortifications appropria­ tion bill without division, but all efforts to trans­ act any other business were defeated because of the lack of a quorum. Attempts were made to> set aside Aug. !fi) and 30 for tho consideration of general pension legislation, to take up the Okla­ homa bill, and to fto into committee on the defi­ ciency bill, but they all failed to secure th£ nec<r essary number of votes. Police Statistics of Kew Turk. ' One is apt to be alarmed by seeing: in the police report for J.887 that there were 81,176 arrests in this city during- the year. But he would bfe reassured by looking at the classification of the cases and noticing that nearly 60,000 of that number were arrested for stich offenses as disorderly conduct, drunk­ enness, and violation of the city ordi­ nances. The Germans, in proportion, to their numbers, show up by far the best in the report, and, m fact, they had less than half their quota of offend­ ers, as compared with the other ele­ ments of our population. It appears. that the police had a good deal of busi­ ness with professional men, for they ar­ rested 106 lawyers, eighty doctors, eighty-three editors and reporters, and ten clergymen. "It is men, not women, who are your criminals," Elizabeth Cady Stanton said in a recent speech;. and this report shows that three times more men than women were arrested during the year, or, to be exact, 61,835- men and 19,241 women.--Keio York Sim. ' Consolation for Tobacco Consumers. The boy smokes better tobacco in liis. cigars to-day than his father did twenty years ago, according to William Fitz- patrick, who says of the weed: "Cigars are cheaper to-day than they were twenty years ago. Tnat is a bet­ ter grade of tobacco is used in the man­ ufacture, while the prices remain where they were. Cigars certainly hold their own, as they are increasing in propor­ tion to the smoking population. Our best domestic cigars are made from the- leaf that grows in Sumatra. With & good filler these cigars are regarded a» good as the average imported brand. We are making a cigar now Avliich i» sold at $35 a thousand, and I well re­ member that this cigar was irtade up- twenty years ago and was sold at $65 a thousand. There is a growing demand for this form of smoking. Those who- desire a strong smoke, however, and smoke at home still use Uie pipe. That * there is a new brand of cigarettes ia the market almost every week shows that there is an increasing demand for light smoking."--Kingston Freeman• TIDIES are always dear to the feminine heart, and they have an endless variety to select from. The scarf or sash tidies are the most popular at present. A pretty one is made of Swiss with large polka dots woven in the goods. Make wide hems on the ends and narrow ones on the sides. Outline the dots in tinsel cord; finish the ends with cream-colored luce and tie through the middle with bright ribbon.
