Jos. Gallagher, Alll n # _ nr - T. G. Argust, > HE HELD MONEY CHEAP ■ow Thieve* Were Diverted From Rob bing a Man of Thoaiuad*. 4t The receut series of hold-ups makes me think of the time we came near lowing quite a sum of money," says a prominent business man of Chicago. "It was while we were building the town of Pullman, and often the pav roll called for $30,000. We paid the men every two weeks, and as there was no express office there then the money had to be carried in cash to Pullman from this city. One day it would be taken out lliere, and that night It would be put in envelopes for each man and in the morning given to them. "On this particular day the detec- i tives had discovered a plot to waylay 1 the man who was to take out the j money an 1 get it. But they did not , get the information quite quick en ough, for as they reached the station ; they saw a train just pulling out. The young man. not knowing that he was being followed, was entirely at ease and threw the valise he carried down on the floor and went across the car to talk to a cousin, who was 011 the train. Of course, the valise was where he eould see it, but he took 110 further notice of It than to see that it wus there. The men wno hsid plan- | ned to get the money were completely , staggered and kept close watch on him. At Sixteenth street the young man stepped to the door to assist his cousin to the platform, and went back to the car aud sat down and put his feet on the valise for a rest. The act of going to the door and leaving the valise had completely finished the i doubt that the thieves had entertained, ' and they came to tlie conclusion that j this was not the man or that they hail mistaken their time. So they left the train at the next stop. My friend has since said that if he had known that some one intended to rob him it would have rendered him nervous and he would have lost his nerve and betray ed himself and lost the money."

That Was What Was Offered to and Eefused By Hon. Peter J. Criste. BRIBERY INQUIRY AT CAPITOL. As High as $oO() For a Vote For the McCnrrell Bill Startling Stories i Told b.v Witnesses on the Stand. Honest Democrats Who Cannot Be | Bought A Groat Triumph For the , Personal Integrity of Democratic* Rank and File at Ilarrlshitrg. (Ppeetnl r'orrespondoree.l Harrisburg. March I.'l.—The investi ra tions into the attempted bribbery of mem bers of the legislature has been the lead ing sensation of the week just closed. The committee litis dnhe some admirab'. * work in unearthing a lot of crookedim**. T'p until last Monday night Hie co'iimP lee was in control of the Q iayit's ex clusively. It is now in the hands of tic* Democrats, and that is the reason wliv the investigation has been so thorough and the exposure has been so swift. After the failure of the Quay packed committee of five last week to satisfy General Kootitz. of Somerset, the anti- Quay Republican on the committee. Kootuz kept his word and went before tlie house on Monday night last. He de clared that the committee did not pro pose to investigate, and that he (Koontz) did propose to investigate, lfe said that Kreps, Republican, of Franklin, who had Quay Republican oti the committee, was the mail who had denounced the resolution to appoint an investigation committee because it came front a "band of political cutthroats." Voorhees. Re publican. of Philadelphia, who had been made its secretary, had 011 the floor of the house declared that investigating committees were a farce and that their sole work was to whitewash. Tighe. of Luzerne. Democrat, voted for the Me- Carroll bill, and so did Captain Skinner, of Fulton. The only man 011 the commit tee who voted against the notorious jury bill was Ivoontz himself. Captain Skin ner. of Fulton, declined to serve on the committee, because some of the news papers attacked him in a most vindictive manner. After showing up the Quay committee General Koontz offered a resolution, ad ding four more members to it, ns follows: Fow, Democrat, of Philadelphia; Dixon, Democrat, of Elk; Kendall. anti-Quay Republican, of Chester, and Young, atiti- Quny Republican, of Tioga. When tin committee convened on Tuesday night with nine members instead of live, Kreps, Republican, declined to net us chairman, ' and Fow, Democrat, was elected in his stead. Mr. Fow was also directed to act as chief examiner of wit nesses and thus practically the commit tee is a Democratic committee. WIIAT WITNESSES SAID. It got right down to work by examin ing the nu-ii who wrote the story of at tempted bribery for the Philadelphia Press, George Nox McCain, Harrisburg correspondent for The Press, was put on the stand and testified that in a talk with Hon. Peter J. Criste, Democrat, of Northumberland county, the latter had told him that lie had been offered SI.DOO to move the reconsideration of the Mc , Carrell Quay jury bill. The man who offered hint the money, he said, was an ex-representative, Thomas M. Movies, of Luzerne county. Exx-Senator John J. Coyle. Republican, of Schuylkill county, had also approached liitn and told liiin to vote for the MeCarrell bill and "leave the rest to him." John P. Dwyer. also correspondent of The Press, testified that in a conversa tion with Hon. John Engler, of Lycom ing county, the latter had told him that he had been taken over to the Lochicl ; hotel, in Harrisburg. and introduced to j ex-Senator Coyle. Coyle told liini that j he ought to vote for the reconsideration j j of the MeCarrell bill because he (Engler) , was n Catholic, and Archbishop Ryan. I of Philadelphia, was interested in the ; bill in seeing it pass. Engler told Coyle that he did not believe that the nreli ! bishop was interested ut nil. and then Coyle dropped that sort of talk and told Engler he would give liiin .<2OO in cash and S3OO more after he voted if he would turn in for the MeCarrell bill. Engler re fused the offer, and 011 the following Sunday Michael J. Costello. of Williams port. who had taken hint to Coyle's room. J drove out lo utiles to Engler's home in , Lycoming county, and there offered him S3OO cash if he would vote for the re consideration of the MeCarrell bill. Both Representatives Criste and Eng ler were put under oath before the com mittee. and in the presence of an im mense crowd corroborated all that had been said by the newspaper correspond - | ents. They stated that they had been i offered money and had refused it. Moylcs : had gone to Criste and told liiin that he would give him SI,OOO if lie would move to reconsider the MeCarrell bill, and that Criste could give as an excuse that he was doing it for the benefit of >lll ex member of the house who was tinder in dictment in Luzerne county. It is a fact that Moylcs is under indictment in Lu zerne county for conspiracy in selling school hooks to school directors illegally. AS TO COYLE AND SPATZ. At the investigation on Wednesday night the three Democratic members from Northampton county. Representa tives Miller. Johnson and Ileil, went on the stand. They testified that they had visited the Loehiel hotel aud had been taken to ex-Senator Co.vle's room by Rep resentative Spatz, of Berks county. Coyle offered them money "up in the hundreds" to sign a paper agreeing that they would stand by Hon. George A. Jenks, who they were then voting for, to the end. Coyle also told them that there would be bills before the legislature in which he would "let them in, and they could make more money that way than they could out of their salaries." At a subsequent interview Coyle offered Mil ler and Johnson money to vote for the MeCarrell bill. Representative Charles B. Spatz, of i Perils county, also offered Miller end | Johnson, according to their sworn testi mony, first SSO and then SIOO to sign the paper to stand by Jenks. Miller swore j that there was also a paragraph in this typewritten paper, which Mr. Coyle ' wanted them to sign, in which those | signing it agreed to "stand together" on | certain legislation. Coyle told them there would he money in legislation and there 1 would he a "divy" on it niuoiig the men j who signed the agreement. I There are two opinions here regarding , the object of Coyle, who is a Quay Ke j publican, and Spatz. Democrat, in asking | Democrats to sign an agreement to con | tinue voting for Jenks. One interpretn j t ion is that it was about this time that I there was talk of the Democrats and anti-Quay Republicans making a fusion on some independent for United States senator against Quay, and as the Demo- j cntfs and anti-Quay Republicans had a majority on joint ballot they could elect their man. This frightened the Quay men and they set their lobby at work to de feat it by trying to get a certain number of Democrats to sign an agreement not to go into a fusion movement, but to stand always for Jenks. B.v doing so tli- Quay machine could defeat the fusion movement and save Quay's political life. The other view of it is that the propo sition to stand by Jenks was simply a blind, used to ford the Democrats who would be asked to sign the paper, Ac cording to Representative .Miller's state ment there was a paragraph in this agreement binding its signers to "stand together" on certain legislation. This would include the MeCarroll bill and such other "pinch bills" as might come before the legislature, in which there would be money for those who would sign. THE REASON* FOR IT. Either one of the above solutions would answer the seeming inconsistency of Democrats being asked to sign a paper to stand by their caucus candidate. There must lie some reason for it. and i is one of the above, or perhaps both. It ts known that about this time the Quay Democrats, a handful of uicn who were anxious to vote for Quay irrespective of what might happen to the Democratic party, were being watched very closely by the stalwart Democrats. They were suspected of working hand in hand with the Quay machine. Shortly after this time Congressman Sibley appeared on the field and set to work to do ail that he eould to help elect Quay and throw down Colonel Guffey. | These Democrats, who were regarded as Quay men, were conspicuous around the Sibley and Quay headquarters, and this ! rather strengthened the belief that sev era I Democrats were ready to go over to the other side. The name of Representative Rosen berry. of Montgomery county, was men tioned by one or two of the above wit- • nesses. They said that Rosen berry had approached them in the Eochiol hotel and told them not to sign the agreement ns ' "there might be something in it." One of the Northampton county witnesses said that ho took it to mean that there would bo "money in it." In his Wn defense Mr. Rosenberry appeared before the com mittee voluntarily on Thursday night and declared that lie had been misin terpreted. What he meant by the ex pression was that he had refused to sign it. as there might he something in it that they would ultimately he sorry for. His statement was applauded. As for Representative Spatz. he has as ! yet made no explanation for his position in the matter. Two other representatives j from Berks county. Messrs. Reiff and ' I loch, were put on the stand and boldly | stated that they had nothing whatever to do with the matter. Hoeh and Reiff visited Mr. Spatz's room once only. When Representative Reiff was asked why he j did not return again to the room lie said j that he had no business there. Repre- ' sentative Naftzingor knew nothing of tlie paper. This comprises the testimony Up to the present time. A ROLL OF HONOR. There are live names that deserve to go down oil the Democratic roll of honor ! for all time, and tlicy are: Deter .T. t Tisto, of Northampton. John Engler. of Lycoming. B. Frank Miller, of Northampton. I>r. Irwin N. Johnson, of Northampton. Philip 11. Ileil, of Northampton. These are the men upon whom it is known the Quay lobbyists made their assaults, only to uieet with defeat. These are the men who are proven to have re sisted temptations that, would have en tangled other anil weaker men. These men are an honor to their party and their constituents. Some of the Quay organs are at their old gfime of provoking dissensions among the Democrats, by assorting that the in vestigation thus far has only related to Democrats and has only involved Demo crats. This is and is not true. It is a fact that the men who have been approached by the Quay lobby are Democrats, but every one of them resisted temptation. The two men who are implicated by the testimony of the witnesses are. first, one of the most subservient followers of Quay, viz: ex-Senator John J. Coyle, Re- ! publican, and Representative Charles B. | Spatz, Democrat, who voted for the motions bearing favorably on the Mc- | Carroll bill. This is the situation ns it stands today. Before the investigation is over the Democratic party, under its present superb leadership of Colonel .1. M. Guffey, will have been vindicated in all of the positions it has assumed. It has been shown thus fnr in the grontest investigation of a generation to lie com posed of members who are above re proach and above the schemes of won Id he bribers. Colonel CSufTey has been an interested witness of nil that has gone on. He was in Harrisburg two days last week in con sultation with the Democratic leaders, Messrs. Creasy. Dixon. Hasson, Doy arnion. O'Brien and other stalwart party men. There is no disposition to shield any man on his part. Indeed, the investiga ting committee, with its Democratic chairman, has taken the high patriotic ground that no man, no matter what may be his party or partisan politics, can escape if lie is guilty or bribery or attempted bribery. As for the senatorial situation, there lias been no change. It is believed that Quay will fight to the end, not so much to get place for himself as to save his machine from disruption. The legislature will adjourn on April 20 beyond a doubt The Democratic leaders have decided this, and although there may lie a dis position on the part of the Quay ma chine. amr perhaps some of the' anti- Quay Republicans may feel uisposed to prolong the session to get through fa vored measures, the Democrats will in sist upon a prompt adjournment. AGNES WAS AIDING PAPA. 1 At the Same Time Slie Was Aiding Her Own Dear George. A suspicious noise behind the por tieres attracted the attention of the impetuous young lover.

"It was papa." j "You knew he was there aud you j didn't tell mb?" again he demanded. I "Yes, George," she said firmly, but without any auger in her voice. "I knew it. We arranged it all before hand." "Do you mean to say you went through all those performances of sitting on my lap, snuggling up in my arms and kissing and hugging me when you knew your father was watching us?" "It is all quite true, George," she con | fessed. "In fact, before you came j papa had me rehearse some of the j positions with my brother, so that I eould do them nicely—-put some soul into them, as he expressed it." "Blackmail!" cried the young man. "I was foolish enough to think you really cared for me. Just because my father is a rich man you think you can bleed us by threatening to bring a j breach of promise suit. But I tell you your father's evidence of what he has I seen and heard wouldn't be worth a cent against our family Influence." ! "I guess the evidence would be con clusive enough," replied the girl with a laugh, rendered bitter by his insult ing tone. "Foiled!" hissed the young man, as the terrible reality dawned upon him. "O, George!" cried the girl, as she threw her arms around his neck, "this tiling has gone far enough. There is not going to he any ..reach of promise suit.

Believing it to he the duty of every postmaster in the United States to sleep in the post office, and thus be on band its interests at all hours, we moved our bed from "The Kicker" office several months ago. While the office closes at U o'clock in the evening, any of the boys who come banging at the door from that hour to daylight can arouse us and get their mail. On Monday night last, about the hour j of midnight, we were aroused by some ! one fixing six bullets into the door. | We got out of bed and asked who it | was and what he wanted, and a I s,range voice replied that if we didn't i hand him out a hatful of letters he'll fill the old building full of lead, lie added that he also wanted a drink aud a hair-cut, and that we'd better be ; lively about it.

If you had asked Mr. Harry Sotherr why he was spending his vacation a 1 Port Natal. South Africa, he would have gravely told you that the Ken tucky Summer climate did not suit his health because it was too hot, and you might have suspected that the Colonel was guying j-ou. and you would prob ably have been right. Nevertheless the Colonel would have been telling you the exact truth. Kentucky had be come too warm for him. The immedi ate cause of this warmth in his old home was a slight disagreement with another gentleman during a game of cards, in the course of which he had been forced to use his pistol in order that the other gentleman might not use his. The other gentleman happened to be an Kx-Congressmau. a man of National reputation, of one of the first families or Kentucky. The Ex-Con gressnian's son, received a Sot hern bullet through his pistol arm. Mr. Sothern felt that the people, witli that Imperfect reasoning for which he hail no use. blamed hiiu for the occurrence, and knowing people as well as lie did, he knew that their blame would take the tangible form of a lynching. He did not stop to argue the matter, but left for parts unknown until the people should have time to reflect. Mr. Sothern had had the good lU'-K to come out in a steamer chartered by the British Government for the transporta tion of supplies to Africa. On the way out he had cultivated the acquaintance of the oflicer in charge with an assidu ity that can be appreciated only by those who have made a long voyage in a supply ship. At first the gentleman, a lieutenant in her Majesty's service, did not respond cordially to these ad vances. He had sized up Mr. Sothern at his first a pea ranee as a missionary. He changed his mind a few days later. He was practicing with his pistol at the time with indifferent success. Harry Sothern, who had been watch ing him. suggested that his aim was too deliberate. The lieutenant turned quickly and handed the revolver to his critic, who showed him how it ought to be done. When they reached Natal the lieutenant introduced him to the people whom It was desirable for liitii ,to know. Just nt this time the Mat tabele war was "on." After weeks of waiting he got his permlj to join a bullock train which was on the way to the front where the fighting was going | on. The main division of the British South African corps had just defeated a division of the Matabeie army at Kraal, and had sot tire to the villages around the place. Captain Williams, with about thirty-five men, while pur j suing the enemy, was led into an am bush and found himself cut ofT from all chances of escape in a small plain sur rounded by foothill? fairly swarming with the enemy. There was absolutely no chance for him. The pass by which they had entered was already occupied by the enemy. There was nothing to do. but wait for help or annihilation. He dismounted his men in the middle ; of the plain among a clump of hushes and small trees. The natives circled j around out of range, indulging In i what seemed to be a war dance, j "When I get out of this." began j Harry Sothern. "I'm going into the un dertaking business. There seems to be | a good field for it here." ; An old sergeant near by replied: "Oh. no, you're not. When you get out of this you're going to heaven, if you're ! been a good hoy. If these devils leave j enough of you. you'll be a fit subject i For undertaking yourself." j Harry did not reply. He had taken : off his coat and was rolling it up io ; put under the head of a young ensign who had been wounded as they entered tla pass, and whom Sothern. amid A shower of assegais and bullets, had thrown across Ids saddle ami had then i galloped after the rest. He eould see now that Hie hoy was dying and it I gave him a great throb of pity and of I rage against those who had done it. He wondered if the hoy knew his con | dition. j A few minutes inter* the young sol lier ivns dcnd. Harry gently laid tlio hoy's head back ujion the ground, and tlien picked up his Winchester with mi oath. Tlic natives were advancing nil nround tlicin with continuous shout ing anil beating of shields. The Brit ish soldiers were picking off the Mat , allele warriors with a certainty and I precision that nothing could withstand. The natives broke and fled. With a I ringing cheer the men sprang to their feet and tired and cheered together. | Harry Sothern staggered back with a bullet in his thigh. I Captain Williams helped Ills men move the wounded to a more sheltered spot, behind trees. Harry objected to tlic arrangement for himself, saying: 'Don't bother about moving me buck. 1 Inst turn me over so I can shoot. I've ; got an engagement to kill half a dozen [ niggers yet." j The captain laughed. Then turning to his men. anil for the first time in his ! life speaking to them as equals, he said: "Gentlemen, let's sing 'God Save | the Queen.' " Ilarry leaned back 011 his elbow and I watched them with an amused smile. He hnd Been a good many men die In one way and another. But lie hnd I never seen men take it just like this before. Across tlic valley to tlic savages who ! were waiting like vultures for their ' prey there floated the sound of the N'a- I lional song from the throats of men | who knew they would never sing it again.
