Caused the Trouble.
The non-partisan element of the "Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, of which the
Pittsburg delegates were prominent mem
bers, met with a crushing defeat yesterday.
Their proposed change in the Constitution
was voted down by a large majority, alter a
very lively debate. The idea of seceding
from the organization was then seriously
broached, but no definite action taken.
rEFECXLX. TELECWL1M TO TUT DtSrATCILS
Philadelphia, October 11. The clos
ing session of the "Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union Convention was a stormy
one. All day long the "partisans" that is
the third party Prohibitionist and "non
partisans" had a bitter ficht, which finally
ended in a triumph for the third-party dele
gates. The morning's session was begun
with the usual devotional exercises, con
ducted by Mrs. C. M. Foster, of Johnstown,
and it was alter 11:30 when Mrs. Swift
called the meeting to order.
After the minutes of the previous meeting
had been read and approved Thursday's
vote for Tice President was announced. It
showed that Mrs. H. C. Campbell, of Alle
gheny had received 113 votes; Mrs. Cynthia
S. Holcomb, of Bucks, 110, and Mrs.
Palmer, of Monroe, 39. Mrs. Campbell
withdrew and moved the election of Mrs.
Eolcomb by acclamation, but she was de
clared out of order and a new ballot called
for.
CHAEGES OP CHICAXEKT.
At this point a delegate from Susque
hanna connty declared that three votes had
been cast for Mrs. Chase, but not recorded.
This assertion aroused the ire of Mrs. Camp
bell, chief teller, who remarked that the
count was correct and that she thought the
intimation made by the Susquehanna dele
gate was very unkind. The voting was
finally gotten through with and it was an
nounced that Mrs. Holcomb was the choice
of the convention, having received 246 votes
against 95 for Mrs. "Wheeler.
During the balloting Mrs. S. Clements, of
this city. Superintendent of the Department
of Social Purity, spoke on the necessity of
pure literature for children. At the con
clusion of her address, Mrs. S. L. Ober
holtzer, of Uorristown, offered a resolution,
which was adopted, ordering that 15,000
copies of the law relating to the sale of
cigarettes be printed and distributed
throughout the State. On motion, a pres
ent of 5500 was voted to Mrs. "Watson, the
retiring Secretary, as a testimonial to her
faithful and efficient work.
f THE OENEEAL BUSINESS.
Mrs. P. D. B. Chase, Chairman of the
Committee on Sunday School "Work, read
her report and a motion allowing delegates
who were compelled to leave for home to
vote by proxy was carried. Bev. T. A.
Fernley made a short address, Mrs. E. D.
C. Marr read a paper on railroad work, and
on motion ot Mrs. H. H. Forrest changes in
the constitution were made the order of
business for the afternoon session.
After lunch Miss Frances "Willard made
a short address and a collection was taken
up for the Johnstown Union. A telegram
was received from the treasurer of the
Lebanan County Union stating that her
county had paia for its full delegation and
on motion they were recognized by the con
vention. The consideration of proposed
changes in the constitntion was announced
to be in order and several unimportant altera
tions were agreed upon without awakening
much interest until article 2 was presented
by Mrs. "Watson, of Pittsburg, amended to
read as follows:
THE B02T E OF CONTENTION.
The object of this organization shall be to
interest and unite the women In this State in
non-Bectarian and non-partiEan temperance
work, lor the reformation of the intemperate,
the education of public sentiment in favor of
total abstinence and prohibition of the traffic
in all alcoholic beverages, for the promotion of
social purity, the suppression of vice and crime
and the education of the masses in regard to
the duties and responsibilities of good citizen
ship. No sooner had the article been read than
a scene ot the wildest confusion ensued.
Delegates jumped to their feet, and all
tried to talk at once. Mrs. Dr. French
managed to catch the eye of the presiding
officer first, and excitedly denounced the
amendment as not being germane to the
constitution and altogether out of reason.
Mrs. Swift replied that Mrs. French was
mistaken in her reasoning, and insisted
that the amendment would have to come
be Tore the house in the shape in which it
was presented. Mrs. Shortledge, the non
partisan leader from Chester, appealed to
the delegates to support the amendment,
and said she hoped the great organization
would not be broken up by political con
tention. A TBIFLE TOERID.
She waxed eloquent, but was interrupted
by several of the partisan delegates, who
were cheered to the echo until the scene
assumed the disorderly appearance of a ward
caucus. A dozen ladies were talking at the
same time, and the confusion was only
checked when a loud voice was heard to
move that the article be laid on the table.
The motion was seconded nnrl nut a
perfect babel of sound greeted the call for
the yeas and nays, and a division was called
for. The motion for a call of the roll pre
vailed, and after two hours had been spent
in calling each individual name it was
found that the motion to lay on the table
had been carried, the vote being 254 to 85.
The announcement was received with
cheers from the partisan wing of the conven
tion, while the defeated minority sulked
and declared their intention of bringing the
matter up at the next convention. At the
conclusion of the afternoon session a large
number of the non-partisans held a meeting
for the purpose of discussing the advisabil
ity of seceding from the State organization.
THE SECESSION ADHERENTS.
Among those present were: Mrs. Camp
bell, of Allegheny; Mrs. B. Darlington, of
Chester; Mrs. B. Downing, of Luzerne;
Miss M. B. Sbepard, of Tiotrs; Mrs. E. M.
"Watson and Mrs. J. D. "Weeks, of Pitts-

burg. After considerable discussion it was
resolved not to entirely break off connection
with the union, but the tenor of the speeches
proved that the relations of the two wings
were badly strained.
The treasurer's report showed that the
amount now on hand belonging to the or
ganization is 33,850, and the amount ex
pended during the present year has aggre
gated 59,012.
There was a very large attendance at the
evening session. The exercises were opened
with prayer by Mrs. A. P. Beid, of "West
Chester. After a duet by Miss Marie Hin
dle and Miss Clara Weber, of Philadelphia,
the President introduced Miss Frances E.
"Willard, who made a long and eloquent
address, at the conclusion of which she was
presented with a number of handsome floral
tributes. A motion that all unfinished
business be left to the executive committee
was unanimously agreed to and the conven
tion adjourned.
NOT TO BE NEGLECTED.
The International Delegates Will Visit the
Southern States at a Later Date
Incidents of the Present
Excursion.
"Washington. October 11. The Secre
tary of State receives many invitations for
the International American Conference to
visit certain sections of the South. It should
be generally and widely known that the
present arrangement is that early in Janu
ary an itineracy will be arranged for the
South relatively more extensive than that
which is now in progress in the North. To
have taken in both sections on one itineracy
would have been fatiguing and exhausting,
and besides the month of October is not re
garded as the most favorable season for
visiting the South. The principal cities of
the South may be assured of a visit from all
the delegates in proper season. This an
nouncement is made on authority of Secre
tary Blaine.
A dispatch from Springfield, Mass. says:
The delegates to the International Congress
went to sleep last night in New Haven,
Conn., and opened their eyes this morning
in Springfield, Mass., having slipped from
one State to another without being aware of
the fact that the cars had moved during the
night. At the station the party was joined
by Colonel Buffington, commandant at the
arsenal, members of the municipal gov
ernment and a number of prominent citi
zens of the place. After the formal intro
ductions had been made the visitors were
placed in carriages and driven to the
armory, the Morgan envelope works, where
all the stamped envelopes used by the Gov
ernment are made, the Smith & "Wesson
arms works and other places of interest
A committee of the Holyoke Manufactur
ers' Association welcomed the excursionists
at Holyoke, where they arrived at 2 o'clock.
They were at once shown the magnificent
dam across the Connecticut river and one of
the most modern of paper mills in full oper
ation. At about half past 3 the traiD started
for Albany, stopping longenoueh at Spring
field to take on Mr. Bliss, who, with Mr.
Henderson, represents the United States
delegates. Mr. Flint left the party at New
Haven last night for a flying trip to New
York. He is expected to rejoin it at Al

ISPSCUI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
"Washington, October lL Hon. "W. B.
Myers, of Indiana, ex-member of Congress,
twice Secretary of State, and probable
Democratic nominee for Governor two years
hence, has been in the city for the past few
days. The Captain is thoroughly versed in
the politics oi his State, having participated
actively in all the campaigns of recent
years.
"How do the Hoosiers like the adminis
tration?" said he, repeating The Dispatch
correspondent's question. "The result of
the election at General Harrison's home the
o ther day is answer enough," he added with
a smile. "It furnishes," he continued, "a
pretty true index, in my opinion, to the
leeling throughout Hoosierdom. It reveals
an apathy or indifference on the part of Re
publicans that must naturally be wide
spread. Xocal issue", of course, governed
the results to a great extent, but so far as
the two candidates for Mayor were con
cerned, the Democrats had no advantage
over the Republicans.
'State pride cut a considerable figure in
Indiana in 1888," said the Captain. "There
was something to feel proud ot in the
State's having a candidate for President,
and the resultwas apparent at the polls.
After the election, though, the Democrats
generally believed that questionable, not to
say dishonest, means had contributed to the
outcome, both parties appeared to send their
good wishes to "Washington along with Gen
eral Harrison. In this manner State pride
demonstrated itself abundantly. But the
first seven months of his administration
have certainly proved disappointing.
"The trouble is," said the Captain, "not
in the nnmber of appointments, but in the
character of them. There has been a lack
of good politics in all his selections save in
the cases of John C. New, Albert G.Porter
aud J. N. Huston."

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THD DISPATCH.!
Portland, Oee., October IL Last
night's east-bound train bore out of this
city a young man named George Haswell,
his uncle William C. and 580,000 in unreg
istered United States bonds. The young
man is in disgrace and is being carried back
to the parental mansion at Hartford, Conn.
The uncle is his captor. The bonds belong
to his father.
Haswell, who is a flashily attired young
man, blazed forth in this city about a week
ago, and in the interval he has played a
brilliant engagement as a "high roller."
Bank notes to him were as the leaves of the
forest, and his wine bills at the leading
restaurants here would have paralyzed most
people's pocket.
Young Haswell's father, who lives at
Hartford, is very rich, and some time ago
the young scamp stole 590,000 in Govern
ment bonds, and lit out lor the wild West.
He negotiated $10,000, and out of this sum,
when captured, he had,remaining only 5500.
When confronted by his uncle Haswell
was staggered, and he quietly went to his
room, opened a trunk, and handed over the
remaining 550,000 of the bonds.

New Tobk, October 11. A man, long
resident of the Isthmus of Panama, and
lately returned to New York, in con
versation with a Dispatch corre
spondent, dwelt interestingly on the state
of affairs down there since the
collapse of the great canal company.
"Almost a year has elapsed," he said,
"since the failure of the company and as
yet the enterprise shows little or no signs of
revivication."
nothing- has been done.
"Indeed, if anything is being done in
Paris toward this end, we are not in the
least aware of it, for even when they send
us news they do it in such a telegraphically
brief and diplomatically indefinite terms
that we are very little the wiser thereby.
"Even the most hopeful who were wont
to say in the early days of the crash that
the company would come out all right, are
now despondent, and nobody believes there
is any reason to expect a happy outcome for
the undertaking. The gradual suspension
of work began in December last.
"When the final blow came and laborers
and all other classes of employes were dis
charged in such numbers that soon the force
was merely sufficient to keep up a show of
doing something, in order that the con
cession might not be forfeited, as would be
the case npon a total suspension of work.
to confiscate the canal.
"Many an article has appeared in the
Colombian press in which the canal com
pany has been roundly rated, and the
Government called upon to take away the
concession and to confiscate all the com
pany's property, as provided by the agree
ment upon which DeLesseps started to build
the canal.
"One of these articles was supposed to
have been 'inspired' by Dr. Nunez, the
scholarly President of the Bepublic It has
even been thought to be the product of his
own pen. This article, especially, gained
wide publicity, having been reprinted
throughout Colombia, other South Ameri
can countries and also in Prance" and other
parts of Europe.
"The concession grants until 1892 for the
opening of the canal,-provided the work has
been delayed by earthquake or such other
causes over which the company could not
have control. Otherwise 1889 is the limit."

Portland, Obe., October 11. Tp-night
a colored, porter on a Pullman sleeper,
named William Jones, shot Thomas Mc
Devitt and the little 15-year-old son of
the latter. Jones had been conducting
himself in a very disorderly manner.
When the train officials called on McDevitt
to arrest him, McDevitt, who is an officer
in the employ of the railroad company, at
tempted to arrest the negro.
Jones refused to yield, and, drawing a
pistol, shot McDevitt in.the side, inflicting
a severe flesh wound. He then fired at Mc
Devitt's boy. The ball took effect in the right
breast, penetrating the lung. The wound is
considered fatal. Jones then fled and made
his escape. It is thought the lad cannot
live. There is much excitement over the
shooting. Officers are in pursuit of Jones,
and he will no doubt be captured.

has been exhumed and the neck found
broken.
Gross says the boy was hung for a breach

PITTSBTJKGr . DISPATCH,
THE tJMDIJEIECTED.
Sir. Barr nnd Her Basband Bnlld Adjoining;
Houses on Dakota Forms, Expecting
to Hold Both Under tho
Homestead Act.
"Washington, October 11. Land Com
missioner Groff has rendered a decision in
the case of May Uarr, formerly "Wesson, a
resident of the Mitchell, Dak., land dis
trict It appears from the testimony that in
July, 1885, Mrs. Barr, then a resident of
the State of Iowa, went to Dakota on a visit
to a friend, and while there was informed
that a certain 80 acres adjoining a tract
then recently entered by Michael Barr was
snbject to homestead entry. She according;
ly entered it, purchased a small house and
had it moved on her claim, broke one aore
and made other improvements.
At that time, she says in her testimony,
she had no intention of marrying Mr. Barr,
but later they married, ''when they moved
the houses up close together on the line and
sodded them up all around on the outside,
making one house; they were then papered;
that Mr. Barr put his bed, stove, table, etc.,
in his, and she put a bed, a stove, table, etc.,
in ners; that tnere is no means ot communi
cation between the two different-parts of the
bonse, except by going outside, each part
having an outside door; that she acted in
good faith in making the etotry, not know
ing Michael Barr at the time and having no
understanding that it was to be kept in the
Barr family; that she complied with the
homestead law fully."
Mrs. Barr's claim is rejected on the
ground that husband and wile cannot main
tain separate residences at the same time
and in the same house, so that each, by
virtue of said residence, may perfect an
entry under the homestead law. It is said
that there are a number of casesin the
General Land Office similar in all import
ant respects to the case of Mrs. Barr.
ANOTHER NIAGARA SUICIDE.
A Heart-Broken Woman From Bnllalo
Goes Over the Falls.
CBFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.!
Niaoaea Falls, October 11. A
woman's hat, umbrella and handbag were
found on the walk at the end of the
Third Sister Island bridge this
afternoon. The three ladies who
discovered them took them to the
office of the superintendent of the reserva
tion, and there the handbag was opened and
this letter, written in pencil, was found:
Buffalo. October 11. I am about to take a
step which 1 had not ought to do; but I cannot
live like this any longer. May God forgive;
the blame will be on my husband. If my body
is found, I wish it buried in St. John's
Cemetery, at Fine Hill, lot 673, where my
children are buried. This is the last wish of a
heartbroken wife. Louisa Petsciike.
I bid all my friends goodby. May they re
member me In their prayers, and not think
hard of me. God alone knows how I have
suffered. Dear Freddie, you have driven
me to this. I forgive you more than a
thousand times; bnt I can stand no more. May
God forgive you, as I forgive you. I die loving
you. Your wife. Farewell forever.
It is probable that the suicide entered the
river, which there flows at a fearful speed,
at the foot of the Third Sister Island, and
that her body passed over the Horseshoe
Falls. The woman was undoubtedly from
Buffalo, and family troubles were the cause
of her suicide.
A CONTENT SENSATION.
Two Priests Are Charged With Bavins;
Murdered an Inmate.
Maeienfeld, Tex., October 11. A
convent mnrder has come to light here. J.
H. Peters and Henry Andrews, two priests,
preside over a convent of boys
here. Three weeks ago, James Gross,
one of the students, escaped and told of the
murder last August of Lorenzo Esser, one
of his fellow students, by the two priests.
The body was secretly buried at night by
Father Peters and four of the students, and
the grave was concealed by burning brush
over it. Soon after the murder Father.
Peters and the four sudents left for parts
unknown.
Justice of the Peace Coons held a private
inquest at the time of Ksser's death and
found the boy had killed himself by hang
ing. Coons never mentioned the affair un
til Gross made his statement. Coons claims
Esser was found hanging by an
eight-inch rope in his cell. The
body was exhumed and an inves
tigation before Judge Allen showed Esser's
neck to be broken, which could not have
been caused by a fall of eight inches.
Father Andrews and Justice of the Peace
Coons have been bound over to the grand
jury, and search is being made for Father
Peters. Gross says other murders have
been committed.
GONE WITH THE EVIDENCE.
A Sensation in Connection With tho Cronln
Mnrder Case. "
rErECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCnT.l
Chicago, October 11. A sensation has
been caused by the alleged disappearance
from town of James Purcell, the State At
torney's stenographer, with all the evidence
the prosecution possessed against the Cronin
suspects now on trial. Purcell has been
State Attorney Longenecker's confidant and
took down all the testimony of witnesses
and the State Attorney's informants in
shorthand.
These notes had not yet been transcribed
and this entire mass of valuable evidence
has disappeared with Purcell into Canada,
it is alleged. This misfortune may prove
fatal to the Cronin prosecution. Purcell
was a Clan-na-Gael member and a relative
of Miss Murphy, who claimed she saw Dr.
Cronin on a street car after the murder.
He has been stenographer in the State At
torney's office for several years, and is about
30 years old.

evening. The meeting between the two
monarchs was ot a very affectionate nature.
Beelln. October 11. The event which
for months has been the talk of Europe has
come to pass, and the monarchs of Bnssia

arrived here this morning. He was ac

second son. The Emperor William, several
of the royal princes, Prince Bismarck,
Count Herbert Bismarck and a number of

Emperor William embraced repeatedly.
After their greeting was over, the Czar
turned to. Prince Bismarck and shook
hands with him. He also held a brief
conversation with tho Chancellor.
As the carriages passed the Brandenburg
gate a park of artillery began firing a salute
of 101 guns. The streets along the route
were plentifully decorated with flags and
bunting, bnt the crowd which had gathered
there did not cheer as the Czar passed along.

after a few minutes' star, as had been an
nounced, Emperor William remained to at
tend the dejeuner given by the Bussian Em
bassador. Count Schouvaloff presided and
the two Emperors and all their attendants
were present. Count Schouvaloff, raising
his glass, welcomed the Czar and called for
three cheers for His Majesty.
There was a hearty response and the band
of the Alexander Begiment played the Bus
sian national anthem. The Czar, speaking
in French, toasted Emperor William. The
two Emperors conversed animatedly during
the repast Emperor William left the em
bassy at 12:30 p. M. In the afternoon the
Czar drove out in an open carriage sur
rounded by cavalry.
SOME BOYAIi CALLS.
He visited the ex-Empress Augusta and
Frederick. On returning to the embassy
the Czar retired for a short time for rest anil
quiet. At 4:30 o'clock Prince Bismarck
arrived and remained in conference with
the Czar until 6 o'clock. The Chancellor,
upon leaving, was escorted to his carriage
by Count Schouvaloff, the Bussian Embas
sador. A dinner in honor of the Czar was given
this evening in the White Hall of the
Schloss, at which 140 covers were laid. The
Czar, dsessed in the Uhlan uniform, sat
between the Emperor and the Empres, fac
ing Prince Bismarck. The Emperor, in
toasting the Czar, said: "I drink to the
welfare of my honored friend and guest, the
Emperor of Bnssia, and to the continuance
of the friendship which has subsisted be
tween our houses for over 100 years, and
which I am resolved to cherish as a legacy
from my ancestors."
A TOAST TO BISMAECK.
The Czar, replying in French, thanked
the Emperor for his friendly sentiments and
drank to his welfare. Turning then to
Prince Bismarck, the Czar raised his glass
and drank to the Chancellor, who stood up,
emptied his glass and bowed deeply. There
was a similar exchange of courtesies be
tween Emperor William and the Bussian
Ambassador.
Ex-Empress Frederick will give a dinner
in honor of the Czar to-morrow. The invi
tations are limited to royal personages. The
Bussian Imperial yachts Derjava and
Czarina have left Kiel, returning to Copen
hagen. The lieichsanzeiger says: "The exalted
guest of the Emperor has been welcomed to
the capital with the veneration due to the
ruler of a great State living on peaceful
terras with Germany. The feeling of the
German people is in harmony with the
friendly relations between the two monarchs,
which they inherited from their fathers.
May the visit conduce to the welfare and
happiness of both nations."

London, October 11. Copyright.
Mr. Bradley Martin, of New York, is,in
sad trouble over the latest escapade of his
hopeful young son, Sherman, who has just
taken unto himself a wife. The marriage is
certainly calculated to arouse the wrath of
the most indulgent parent, for the lady's
only virtue is that she is twice young Sher
man's age.
It is understood that Mr. Bradley Mar
tin is willing to pay a big sum to procure a
separation or a divorce. The former may be
quickly arranged, and with little trouble;
but the latter will not be an easy matter, as
the marriage, if peculiar, is strictly valid,
according to British law, and all Mr. Brad
ley Martin's wealth could not suffice to pro
cure its annullment, should the lady prefer
to lead a prosaic life as Mrs. Sherman
Martin.
The irate father is at present entertaining
a party of friends at Shootingbox, which he
has hired for the season in a remote district
in North Scotland.

A REDDING ANNIYEESAEY
Celebrated In a Style That Resulted Fatally
to tho Parties Interested A Hniband
and Wlfo Drink Them
selves to Death."
St. Joseph, Mo., October IL For a
week Mr. and Mrs. Bichard Ambrose have
been missing, but their absence attracted no
very particular attention until yes
terday, when Ambrose's half-brother,
by whom the latter was employed,
attempted to-find him that he might repair
his engine. Upon entering the rooms in
the tenement where Ambrose and wife
lived, a hoirible spectacle was presented.
Mrs. Ambrose lay dead on a
straw pallet on the floor and
in the corner of the room lay the husband
in the final stages of the delirium tremens.
The body of the woman was turned over to
the Coroner, and Ambrose was taken to the
hospital. The physicians say he will die.
A week ago last Thursday, Krs. Am
brose informed her neighbors that was the
tenth anniversary of her and her husband's
wedding, and told them that they had ar
ranged to celebrate the event in "grand
style," as she expressed it Ambrose laid in
a stock of "whisky and he and his wife
celebrated the marriage anniversary'. by
drinking, keeping it up whenever'they
awoke from their drunken stnpors for ten
days; during the week succeeding neither of
them ate a mouthful of food.
The neighbors of the unfortunate coupTe
say that Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose were in the
habit of getting drunk for ten days at
a time about every two months.
They would lock themselves in
their 'rooms and admit no one.
During these debauches they never quar
reled and always appeared to be very fond
of one another. The Coroner's jury brought
in a verdict to-day that Mrs. Ambrose died
of alcoholism and starvation:.
CEREMONIAL UNCHANGED.
Sir Knight Hopkins, of Fittsbnrsr, Submits a
History of the Grand Encampment.
Washington, October 11. At the
meeting of the Grand Encampment to-day,
the Committee on Bitual made its report. The
report was accepted in part, so much, of it
as related to ceremonials being referred back
to the committee with certain amendments,
with instructions to prepare a report to be
submitted at the next triennial conclave.
This leaves the present ceremonial in force
for three years longer.
Sir Knight Hopkins, of Pittsburg, from
the Committee on Correspondence, sub
mitted a history of the Grand Encampment
from 1816 to 1859. This history proves con
clusively that the Grand Encampment was
established in 1816 by commanderiesfrom
Bhode Island, Massachusetts and New
York.
A resolution was passed declaring that it
was the sense of the Grand "Encampment
that in all Knight Templar parades and
demonstrations the Sir Knights par
ticipating shall wear no badges
except those belonging to the
Knight Templar or Masonic Orders. This
resolution was passed because of the fact
that many Knights have paraded wearing
Elks, Knights of Pythias and other badges.
Bobert Heirtnng, the oldest Templar in
the State of Indiana, delivered an appro
priate address at the tomb of Washington
to-dav.
NOT INDICTED.
A Louisiana Grand Jury Falls to Brloff In a
True BUI A coins t Alleged Murderers.
Lafayette, La., October 11. The
grand jury to-day, after a long and -tedious
session, returned not a true bill in the case
of the State versus Charles Guidey, Bast
Hatton and Aliunde Landey, in the Cor
miere murder. Many other cases of much
gravity were considered also, but with the
same futile result in almost every instance.
Only one or two true bills were returned
and these were trivial offenses. The fore
man of the grand jury, "Mr. Edmond
Pellerin, in handing the returns to Judge
Edwards, said very earnestly:
"We have worked hard, but 'with little
results," indicating very plainly the inabil
ity oi one or two good men to overcome the
settled determination of a few others in mat
ters of the greatest character. The three
parties above mentioned were thereupon
discharged from custody, and this ends the
prosecntion in the matter of the horrible
Cormiere tragedy. Attorney Smeds states
that he does not intend to pigeon-hole the
charges against the Cormiere prisoners, but
was unable to say when he would prose
cute. It is his intention also to make a test
case of one of the charges preferred against
the St Martinsville regulators and others
implicated, and if the State is not accorded
a fair trial here he will move a change of
venue.

Durham had in his employ an 11-year-old
New York orphan boy, named Joe Fow

penitentiary he disappeared, and a few days
after a new stock well in Bichard Durham's

SOME WE0NQIMPEESSI0NS COEKEOTED.
If the Capital Stenres the Fair, Great Frtparattas
Wiu be Hade.
The Dispatch correspondent at Wash
ington has investigated the claim that the
capital hotels could not accommodate the
crowds which will attend the exposition of
1892. The evidence secured shows that
the reverse is the case, and anything that is
now lacking will be supplied if Washing
ton secures the coveted -distinction.
ISPXCIAX. TU.IGEAJI TO THE DISPATCH. J
Washington, October 11. Much has
been said in a sneering manner in regard to
the inability of Washington to accommo
date the crowd which will attend the ex
position of 1892, as based on reports more or
less exaggerated in regard to the over
crowding of the hotels by the Knights
Templar. Papers whose local interests are
opposed to Washington as the place for the
exposition argue that the scenes attending
the meeting of the conclave show conclu
sively the Absurdity of Washington's
assumption that it can lodge and feed the
vast crowds that come to see that affair.
As Willard'a was probably the mostover
crowded of all the hotels, Chief Clerk Mul
ford, a gentleman of wide experience in
hotel life, was asked his opinion of the ca
pacity of Washington for entertainment.
"Washington," said Mr. Mulford, "can
accommodate without difficulty the largest
crowd tnat will attend tne exposition. Of
course the conclave overcrowded us. That
was expected. It was an afiair of short
duration. It would not pay to go to the
same expense to provide for people
TOE A PEW DATS
as if the house was to be filled for ten
months or a year. Besides, the com
manderies, many- of them, insisted on stay
ing together ana that compelled us to take
more than the hotel could well hold. The
visitors were not distributed over the city as
they would have been had they sought ac
commodations in conples, or by the lamily.
"In the case of the exposition every house
capable of entertaining guests will be pre
pared, which, in the present instance,
changes or additions of furniture for two or
three days would not have paid for the
trouble. Further than this, temporary
hotels to hold any number will doubtless be
built when the time comes. There is not
the least donbt that Washington can enter
tain all comers.
Mr. George W. Leach, a clerk of long ex
perience in Washington, at the Biggs
House, expressed a very similar opinioa.
"Washington," he said, "can entertain
more visitors than any other city of its popu
lation In the world, not only because it is
more accustomed to packing people in
hotels, but because almosf every dwelling is
turned into a boarding house on such occa
sions. I had seven visitors at my house
during the conclave. My next neighbor
had VI, and so it goes. As Washington is
peopled from every part of the country,
nearly everybody has friends or relatives
here, and it is a customary thing to have a
house full of visitors. HnndrjdAoJEthou
sauds who come will be caretiifbf"iH "that
way. I do not lpok, however, ior'
KO OEEAT A BUSH
to the exposition except near ,itai close. It
will last nearly a year, and thla tmi," with
the limits of railroad transportation, will
tend to make the ebb and flow of -the crowd
regular. But no matter what the crowd is,
there is not the least question that everyone
can be comfortably housed."
Similar opinions were expressed by Mr.
Boessle, of the Arlington, Mr. Willard, of
the Ebbitt House, and the proprietors of
other hotels. Secretary Anderson, of the
Board of Promotion of the Exposition, said:
"It is perfectly absurd to talk of Washing
ton as not oeing aoie to entertain tne crowds
which will come to the exposition. The
conclave people all piled into a few hotels,
and no wonder they vera packed close to
gether. They wanted entertainment as
commanderies, and the commanderies wanted
to be as near each other as possible. If
250,000 people were to come every day from
the beginning to the end of the 'exposition,
we could easily be prepared for that number."-
One of the most interesting gentlemen to
converse with on the subject is Mr. Charles
Kinkel, the architect who has prepared
plans for an iron tower 1,500 feet in height,
on a plan wnicn vanes very materially
from that of the Eiffel tower. Mr. Kinkel
said: "Why there is no dtv in this country
or the world so well suited as Washington
for such an afiair, For
PASSING TO AND PEO
we have the finest streets in the world,
broad, smooth, well shaded, with fine lawns
and numerous parks. For lodging and
feeding there will be due additions to the
present capacity. I am already under
engagement to submit plans for vast tem
porary hotels, which will be made comfort
able in all respects, whose erection will be
begun the moment Congress puts the seal of
its approval on Washington as the place for
the Exposition. Not only will hotels be
erected, but theaters and gardens for the
entertainment of any number of visitors.
"You will see Washington transformed
in a night into a new world with doors
open for the welcome of double the popula
tion it now has. Everything now lacking
which can contribute to the comfort and
pleasure of the vast crowds of visitors will
spring up as though by magic. Certainly
there is no doubt on this point, and it would
be a national shame to hold the exposition
elsewhere. At any other place it wonld
simply be a grasping after the money the
crowd would spend. Here it would have
the significance of a national afiair for
cementing the friendship and interests of
all American countries."
