Gai.vf.ston Fcbruafy2S. The lonialns
of l'eter l'eterson carpenter who has
been missing slnco February 1:1 were
lotind floating In the bay to-day and
were fully recognized. l'eterson was
engaged on n bay schooner and when
last seen he was In an Intoxicated condi-
tion and It Is thought that In attempting
to go aboard the vessel on the night In
a uestlon he fell overboard and was
rowned. This morning while some
little boys were playing In the oleander
bushes at the corner of Twenty-fourth
and Church streets they discovered a
cigar box secreted In the bushes which
upon ueing urougni loriu anu openeu
was found to contain the foetus of a six
months' Infant that had been given birth
to a week ago. Its race or sex could not
be determined. The box with the re-
mains was brought to police headquar-
ters and the mystery that surrounds the
aflalr Is undergoing a rigid Inquiry.
Dallas Tex; February 23. The ex
amining tilal of Howard Montrcsser
alias Frank IMIoInlosh the hotel keep-
er charged with committing rape n week
ago to-day on the person of Emma Clapp
aged 0 years was finished this afternoon
after consuming three full days. The
testimony has been terribly strong
against the prisoner nnd of such a char-
acter as to be untlt for publication.
Great exoltement was created as the case
progressed and when the facts devel-
oped In court became known the crowds
in ine vicinity oecame so uense In the
streets that the merchants petitioned
that the case be postponed to the Dis-
trict courthouso as the customers could
not get to tbelr stores. The case was
accordingly removed and the court-
house which was packed with people
became depleted. The prisoner's life
was consiuereu in suon aanger irom moD
violence that a strong guard of olllcers
was always near him and accompanied
from and to the Jail. On three occasions
a rone was taken from the crowd the
suspicion ueing nrouseu mat it was or
kindred to the Lynch family. Justice
Sohutz this morning remanded Mont-
rcsser alias Mcintosh to jail without
ball. The prisoner Is Identllled as Frank
P. Mcintosh who eschped from the
Council Willis Iowa Jail about seven or
eight years ago releaslngnlne prisoners
and for whom for a long time $2.7) re-
ward was offered.
BOTTLED BEER.
Its Origin in America by the An
heuser Buseh Brewing As-
sociation. Before the Anheuser-llusoh llrewlng
association Introduced the pasteurizing
process for ;the preservation of bottled
beer the business of bottling was of In
significant proportion con lined to small
local trade giving employment to but
few persons and the total capital Invest
ed was Inconsiderable. This association
can therefore point with honest pride to
the marvelous change wrought by It In &
few short years by virtually creating a
new and Important Industry a source of
National wealth giving employment to
many thousands and developing the
manufacture of bottles corks labels
wire etc. to such extensive dimensions
as the most sanguine and hopeful never
dreamed of.
Inventive genius also grasped the
opportunity by giving to the world a
large number of new and Ingenious ma-
chines solely adapted to faollltate the
working of the latest manufacturing Industry.
as wnn every new enterprise destined
to result In Important changes the An-heuser-Ilnscli
association had to over
come many obstacless and difficulties;
the trade traversed by their predeces-
sors. The great company has now the
satisfaction to see all thoio scoffers fol-
lowing In Its wake for although their
sluggish minds were Incapable of form-
ing new Ideas they were quick enough
at Imitation on beholding with aston-
ished eyes Its merited success. Hut as
all Imitations never approach the excel-
lency of the genuine article and
progress develops everything as
the fruit of experience so these Imita-
tors are a long way behind without any
hones of ever catchlmr un with the true
Anheuser-Ilusch brand admitted and
recognized to be the best the finest and
most wnoiesome ooiueu Deer put up in
the known world.
The Anheuser-Ilusch bottled beer has
not onlr been victorious at home and
driven all foreign goods from the
Aiianiio anu i-aciiio snores or our union
whose seaports formerly Imported Im-
mense quantities of English ales and
German beers but has gone beyond the
seas nnd Is successfully competing
for the trade or Mexico Central and
South America the Islands of the l'aclfto
and Australia And where formerly
Bne drew larffe sums of monev con
stantly from the United States In ex-
change for Its bottled beers our nation
not only retains this money but receives
a large amount or foreign capital In ex-
change for the product of the skilled la
bor of Its citizens thus adding constant-
ly to the wealth or the nation.
This has been brouirht about br thn
genius and enterprise of one firm and
although Anheuser-Ilusch have carried
oirtlie highest honors at the World's ex-
hibitions or Philadelphia l'arls and
Amsterdam and at a former Southern
States exposition In this city they now
exhibit a splendid display of their man-
ufacture lilted up regardless of expense

wearied ellorts by Drs. Wasserinan and

SPECULATIONS REGARDING THE
CABINET.
Senatorial Extra vncanco--Dpn But-
ler and Ills Financial Condition-Other
Items.
Kroin Our Iteautar Correspondent.
Washington February 21. Nothing
seems to turn the tide of Cabinet talk In
Washington. Tho various knots of poli-
ticians about the Capitol and In the
hotel lobbies discuss nothing else and
their conclusions so fsr as can be ascer-
tained are that Senator Lamar has been
fixed upon for Secretary of the Interior
and that Mr. Vilas Is the coming Post-
master General. It la admitted by olose
friends of. Mr. Cleveland that ha has been
perplexed In choosing a Secretary or the
Treasury. It Is now believed that Mr.
Daniel Manning will have that' position
or that he can have It If he Is willing to
accept jt. With regard to the Navy
department It Is understood that Mr.
Cleveland has been undecided.
As the case stands now with all the
Information In possession or Democrat!
here the prevailing opinion Is that Sen-
ator Bayard will bo Secretary or State
Senator Lamar Secretary of tho Int erlor
Senator Garland Attorney General Mr
Manning Secretary of the Treasury and
Mr. Vilas probably Postmaster General.
There are some who believe Mr. Vilas
will be made Secretary of War and that
Mr. Th unci an will be provided for.
Homo Senrtors still adhere to the belief
that Mr. McDonald will bo railed Into
tbo cabinet but the general Idea appar-
ently based upon pretty good Informa-
tion Is that lie has been dropped from
consideration.
I hear that Mr. Vilas ol Wisconsin
will be an ornament to Cleveland's Cab-
net should he be taken In by the Presi
dent-elect. Vilas Is about 4.1 years old
and h amliome. He has a line presence
easy manners and Is called a "right good
fellow" by the Wlsconslncrs or both
parties. He has sufficient wealth to en-
tertain handsomely and a wife wbo will
like to do It. They say ho has brains
enough to till any position In the Cabi
net ine ireasury excepteu mil soieiy
because he has not given special study
to finance. I hear that the Wisconsin
people wish him to be either Postmaster
General or Secretary of the Interior and
mat mey uo noi oouaiuer ine war port-
folio big enough for lilm.
i uere are noi a lew nenaiors who pro-
nounce the renting of the Butler man
sion for Senate committee rooms the
most useless act or governmental ex-
travagance on n small scale yet recorded.
The annual rental amounts to $10000
and the building was procured to pro-
vide live committees with rooms neither
one of which has any publlo business on
hand or to report at this late stage of
the session. When the building was
leased the furniture of Senator Jones of
Nevada who had occupied the mansion
was lor sale. A portion oi tue lurniture
wns bought by the Government for the
use or the committee rooms and tbo
udgment uispiayeu in making selections
s manifested In the purchase of a num
ber of chairs at Ihe price of $23 each.
Some of the elegant carpets which Ken
ator Jones had put down when he llrs
furnished the mansion were also taken
by tho Government at hlcli fltrures. In
a few days Congress will adjourn but a
resolution has passed the Senate for the
annolntiuent or extra messengers and
Janitors to guard the Butler mansion
anu uie cusiiy uovernmeni luriuiure it
contains during the recess.
The Idea of Congress In leasing this
palace may have been to do Ben Iliitlcrn
good turn for Incredible as It may
seem tue oiu man is ucueveu to ue very
hard up. The recent transaction by
which ho placed n $00000 mortgage on
two or his Capital Hill houses was quite
astonishing to a multitude ol people. It
has been believed that Butler was alwa) s
able to draw his check forat least S1.0UO-
000. The common explanation of his
nnanciai conumon is tuai lie spent n
great deal more money In politics than
he could immediately command. 1 am
told that Butler's Presidential aspira-
tions cost him over $200000 and that he

gage on the two houses for the balance.

The Washington monument was dedi
cated with appropriate and Imposing
ceremonies on Saturday. The city was
gaily decorated with Hags and bunting
which gave ricn enecis oi color in uie
