Necessary but Hopeless.
It is to be hoped that the congres-
sional committee, which it 18 now pro-
posed to appoint, to investigate the af-
fairs of the Keystone bank, will, if
named, be able to uncover more of the
mysteries surrounding the disappear-
ance of the moneys that were generally
supposed to be in that concern, than
the Philadelphia courts showed the
capacity to do. We doubt, however,
if a satisfactory or intelligent showing
up of the rascality of that government
concern will ever be made. The peo-
ple who know where the Keystone's
million and over, went, are either not
inclined or in the position to tell.
MarsH is away, is paid for staying
away, and will keep away so long as
his absenceis necessary for the protec:
tion of his more influential partners.
Nothing will be got out of him.
BARDSLEY is in the Penitentiary with
the promise of a pardon, as soon as a
Republican Governor is elected and a
Republican pardon board secured, as
‘the price of his silence. Of course he
wont tell.
WaNAMAKER, who does business just
across the street from the looted con-
cern and was close enough to its man”
agement to be credited with a block of
its fraudulent stock issue, who per-
formed the wonderful feat, while this
bank was in its prime, of raising $400,-
000 in less than four hundred minutes,
which was given to Quay to purchase
Harrison's election, is so fearful of
telling what he might know about its
transactions, that he has written down
his testimony and reads it to insure
him from giving away its secrets.
There will be no disclosures from that
source.
Quay has just been declared by a
Beaver county jury, as pure as a doub-
le-winged angel, and of course no one
would suspect him of knowing any-
thing about the crookedness that char-
acterized it.
The clerks don’t know for they were
not taken into the confidence of their
guilty bosses.
The books don’t show, for they have
been mutilated and destroyed so that
they show nothing but the general ras-
cality that governed those who dictated
the entries they contain.
Until BarpSLEY opens his mouth,
or WanaMAKER lays aside his type-
written testimony, we feel that inves-
tigation will uncover nothing but the
general rottenness in bulk, that has
been a stench in the nostrils of the peo-
ple since the day its doors were closed,
almost a year ago.
Mr. Congressman, we don’t want to
discourage, but we fear you are about
to undertake a hopeless job.
~———The Prohibitionists in this state
seem to be having more than their
share of discouragements. The new
Australian voting system which will
go into effect next November practical-
ly lays them on the shelf. Because
they did not cast three per cent. of the
votes at the last election, they are de-
prived of having a regular ticket un-
less they can get a sufficient number cg
signatures to a petition showing that
they are a party big enough to go to
the expense of printing a ticket for.
In many places this cannot be done,
and as a consequence those who want
to vote for persons different from those
on the regular partisan tickets, will
have to write the names of those they
wish to vote for on the official ballot
furnished them at the polls.
A Good Man Gone,
In the death of Adjutant General
MoCrELLAND, which occurred at the
Harrisburg hospital on Sunday morn.
ing last, Pennsylvania looses one of
the purest citizens and one of the most
pains taking and conscientious officials
the state has ever bad. In many
things General McCLELLAND was pecu-
liar. He was as particular about the
smallest detail of duty as of the most
important public action. In all things
he was consciertions and honorable,
and under every circumstance true to
his convictions of right. There was
no one who ever occupied a public
place, who more faithfully tried to ful-
fill the duties of the position, in the in-
terest of the public and in accordance
with his ideas of what was right, than
he, and while his place can be filled
by others, who can possibly male the
administration of the office,he honored,
as popular and correct as he did, there
is no one who can add a mite to the
integrity, or conscientious sincerity
with which he performed every duty
pertaining to the position. In his
death, the State and the party to which
he belonged, suffers a great loss.
A Taking Crowd.
A Philadelphia correspondent of one
of the Pittsburg papers,writes that the
new or kicker's Democratic Committee
of that city, intends “taking handsome-
ly furnished quarters next week.” We
are glad to know that these sore-head-
ed and limber-legzed democrats have
at length found something to “take.”
They tried to take all the offices the
Democrats had to give when there were
any to distribute. They would have
taken all the delegates to the next
state convention, if they had had any-
body to vote for their candidates. They
have been in the habit of ‘taking’ just
whatever price the republican ring of-
fers for votes for its ticket, and because
there has been nothing lying round
loose for them to take since the last
fall’s election, they have gotten mad
and organized a regular “takers” com-
mittee. If they will only “take their
handsomely turnished quarters,” and,
with them, take their final leave of
politics, the political atmosphere of
Philadelphia would be much purer,
and the Democracy of the state have
less reason to blush for the action of
men claiming to belong to their party.
Sensationalists were gratified
Tuesday morning bv the graphic dis-
cription of the electrocution of Mec-
Erwaiy the New York murderer.
When the electric chair was substitu-
ted for the gallows, it was hoped the
public would be spared the extended
accounts of the death scenes which
very often made martyrs out of the
worst criminals, but as long as twenty
four men, representing the better class
of society, insist on witnessing the ter-
rible penalty of the law, the great
masses will have a preference for
these revolting descriptions.

‘Fitzsimmons Suicides.
The Notorious Murderer and Desperado a Sui-
cide in the Parish Prison. With Wonderful
Nerve he Cuts his Throat While in Bed.
NEw OrLEANs, Feb. 6.—Frederick
C. Fitzsimmons, alias Ambrose G.Budd
and several other names, who was ar-
rested here on Tuesday charged with
murder and theft in Pittsburg, and who
cut his throat with a penknife, died in
the parish prison. He was probably
the most daring criminal that has en-
gaged public attention for some time
past. His numerous successful rob-
beries, his capture by Detective Gilkin-
son, whom Le afterwards murdered;
his pursuit and capture, his sensation-
al escape from the Alleghany county
jail at Pittsburg, and finally his arrest
at New Orleans, are 2ll fresh in the
minds of newspaper readers.
Fitzsimmons left a letter addressed
to C. H. Fitzsimmons, William Fitz-
simmons, Chief of Police Gaster, The
Times-Democrat, The Picayune and
the citizens of New Orleans. After
writing it he jumped into bed, threw a
blanket over his head and apparently
went to sleep. Half and hour later
one of the attendants in the jail heard
his groaning, and on going to the bed
they found that Fitzsimmons had slash-
ed his throat three times while under
the blanket and was weak from loss of
blood. His strength gradually left
him and he died at 1 o'clock.
Frederick Carrolton Fitzsimmons,
the dying murderer and robber, comes
of a good family. He was born thirty-
eight years ago in Brockville, Ont..
where his father, Charles Henry Fitaz-
simmons, was a successful merchant
and a respected citizen, having been at
different times mayor of the city. His
uncle, William Fitzsimmons, has been
a member of parliament for years for
Leeds, in Greenville, Ont.
Young Fitzsimmons was liberally
educated, but very early gave evidence
of evil inclinations. After several
minor breaches of the law he disappear-
ed from Brockville. At invervals he
was heard from in the southern and
western sections of the United States,
in Mexico, France and England as con-
nected with fraudulent schemes.
Three years ago Fitzsimmons came
to Pittsburg and secured a place in one
of the leading retail stores as salesman.
He had a wife and one child and seem-
ed devoted to them. Events proved,
however, that he shared his affections
with Laura Snowden, who was well
educated, beautiful and alone in the
world. With her Fitzsimmons plan-
ed the robbery of A. Schmidt's jewelry
store at Homestead.
At 6 o'clock on the evening of Dec.
23, 1890, Laura Snowden entered the
store, engaged the proprietor in con-
versation, and finally induced him to
leave the room. Fitzsimmons then
got away with watches and jewelry
worth $3,000. Miss Snowden was ar-
rested and confessed, and implicated
Fitzsimmons and when attempting to
escape arrest he fired the fatal shot
which killed detective Gilkinson. He
was sentenced to be hung, but succeed-
ed in sawing his way out of the strong
est jail mn the country and was not
heard of again until his capture by de-
| tectives Finney and Murphy in New
{ Orleans last week.
They Say the Tariff 1s a Tax.

|
| WasmiNgroN, February 9.—Repre-
sentative Wike, of Illinois, to-day intro-
{ duced in the house a series of resolutions
| which have secured the approval of a
| number of his dumocratic colleagues,
i declaring that the tariff isa tax and
i calling upon the ways and means com-
mittee to report as speedily as possible
bills enlarging the free list and reducing
, compensatory duties in accordance with
the pledges of the party to the people.
To meet any deficiency in revenues
caused by this action the resolutions
propose that the committee shall also
report a bill providing for a graduated
income tax.

The New “Eidorado.
Colorado is having the gold fever
almost as bad as California had itin
'49. At Boulder, cabins, tents and the
passenger coaches, that the railroad
officials have Lad side tracked, cannot
accomodate the crowds that are flock-
inginto the town. Only a few weeks
ago the first discovery was made and
several thousand prospectors are al-
reaay encamped about the over quiet
little hamlet, Three rich veins have
been opened and Wednesday telegrams
say that another big strike has been
made. The vein is about four feet
wide and pieces of ore trom the top
show a streak of white quartz two
inches) that is so full of free gold that
it is yellow in color.
Would not this be a good place for
the voters who make up the republi-
can majority in Pennsylvania to strike
for. They are after boodle. This ob-
ject is big pay for little work. They
are hungry for wealth and and are
willing to take any chances to obtain
it. Here is the opportunity and now
is the time. Go gentlemen. Go at
once and don’t come back until atter
next fall’s elections. In fact we would
not be sorry if you would conclude to
dig for gold in Colorado during the
rest of your days.
General McClelland Dead.
He Dies in the Hospital at Harrisburg on Sun-
day Afternoon.
It was thought that Adjutant Gener-
al William MeClelland might survive a
few days—even a month —after the
surgical operation of Saturday night,but | growth of mulice.
a change for the worse occurred at 10
o'clock Sunday morning and he sank |
into an unconscious state, in which he
remained until his death, at 4:45 that
afternoon.
He was conscious at intervals during
the morning and recognized those at his
was near.
the night previous by Dr. Keanat, of
Philadelphia, professor of surgery at the
Jefferson hospital. and Dr. Thomas J.
nosis that he was afflicted with cancer-
ous ulceration of the stomach.
This confirmed the diagnosis of the
surgeons and they gave the friends to
understand that death could not be far
away ; that a few days at most would
end the soldier’s career. He was ready
to meet the enemy and calmly surren-
dered.
General McCleliand’s illness dates
back to the 14th of November, when he
was taken violently ill at his office.
He has been at the city hospital under-
going treatment almost constantly since
that time.
He went to Old Point Comfort a few
days in January but returned in a more
enfeebled cendition than when he left.
Governor Pattison and other friends
were at his bedside when he died, and
an order was straightway issued to the
National Guard. Assistant Adjutant
General Krumbhar having been ordered
to report at once. At the request of
the dying man his body was buried in
Allegheny cemetery, at Pittsburg. On
Tuesday morning the body lay in state
in the rotunda of the capital and thous-
ands passed the bier of the dead warrior.
Flags floated at half mast and everything
took on an aspect of mourning.
Governor Pattison was very close to
Adjutant General McClelland personal-
ly iii the time of their official rela-
tions and was constant in his attentions
ever since his sickness began. The gov-
ernor, although he had anticipated the
fatal termination of his sufferings, man-
fested deep feeling at the death of his
official associate and advisor in military
affairs.
Major General Snoden and Assistant
General Krumbhar arrived in Harris-
burg early Tuesday morning. After
their conference with the governor the
usual military orders were 1ssued.
At 5-40 on Tuesday afternoon a spe-
cial train bearing the corpse and the
heads of departments left for Pittsburg ;
arriving their about midnight. A com-
pany of Infantry met the funeral train
and remained on guard until 11 o'clock
Wednesday morning when the cortege,
escorted by the Fourteenth and Eigh-
teenth regiments and Battery B started |
for the Third Presbytersan church,
where the Rev. Dr. Cowan, delivered a
beautiful eulogy over the remains. Af-
ter these services the body was taken to
its last resting place and, with all the
solemnity and impressiveness of a sol-
diers’ buri-1, consigned to its sepulcher
Cooper’s Battery and delegations from
the Tei Legion, Grand Army and
Urion Veteran Legion were present to
pay a last sad tribute to one whose hon-
orable and conscientious life, whose no-
ble valor and tender solicitude for his
comrades, had made friends of all who
knew him.
Messages of sorrow and condolence
were received from many prominent
people.
General McClelland was born March
2,1842, at Mount Jackson, Lawrence
county. In 1861 he enlisted as a pri-
vate in the Mount Jackson Guards,
which became Battery B, First Artillery
Pennsylvania Reserves, and in Feb.,
1865, he became captain of his company
serving in the First and Fifth Army
Corps, and participating in twenty-two
battles fought by the Army of Potomac.
After he returned from the army Gen-
eral McClelland was admitted to the
bar. [n 1870 he was chosen by the
Democrats as their candidate for Con-
gress in the Lawrence district and was
elected over J. B. Donnelly by a major-
ity of 772.
In 1873 he removed to Pittsburg,
where he engaged in the practice of law.
He was chosen Secretary of the Demo-
cratic State Committee several times and
was chairman during the campaigns of
1876 and 1877. He was a member of
the State Executive Committee for sev-
eral years and during the last Presiden-
tial campaign he wasone of the secre-
taries of the National Democratic Com-
mittee.

ing letter explains itself :

Honorable J. 8S. Clarkson, Chairman
Republican National Committee.
My Dear Sir: Iam not a candi-

I make this annoucement in due sea-

To those who have tenderd me their
support I owe sincere thanks, and am
most grateful for their confidence.
They will, I am sure, make an earnest

The popular decision on the issues
is of great moment, and will be of far

The Loss by the Memphis Fire.
Mgemeuis, Tenn., February 7.—
Twenty-eight insurance men represent-
ing foreign companies are busy this
afternoon compiling their losses by last
night's conflagration. The total loss by
the fire as far as known at present is at
least $920,000, and a number of smaller
losses yet to be reported will make the
loss reach $1,000,000. Of the insurance
on the buildings, totally destroyed $748,-
000 is in foreign and $95,000 in local
companies.

An Abuse That Should be Corrected.
In every county, at nearly every
term of court, much valuable ‘time is
consumed in hearing cases of a frivolcus
character ; criminal prosecutions, for
which there are not the slightest foun-
dations, and which are simply the out-
In most of these
cases the grand jury returns “not a true
bill,” and the defendants retire with
annoyance which the matter has ocea-
sioned them, and the loss of valuable
time. But the honest taxpayers do not
get off so easily ; they are compelled to
the bills nolens wolens. Many
thousands of dollars are annually worse
prosecutors and justices of the peace,
who, for the sake of pocketing the small
pittance they receive in the way of fees
and costs, are ready and willing to stul-
tify themselves by countenancing the
bringing ef suits for which they know
there is not the slightest cause.
While the whole country is crying
out against oppressive taxation, would
it not be well to take some step looking
toward the removal of the cause of this
vast expenditure of the people’s monay ?
Under existing laws, the commissioners,
who are the real custodians of the public
funds, are powerless to put a stop to
this abuse. The costs must be paid, no
matter how trivial or unjustifiable the
cause of action, or how much these of-
ficers may object to payment.
The only present remedy for this con-
dition of things that we can see is for
the citizens to be more careful in their
selection of those who are to exercise
the functions of justice of the peace.
The right kind of men in that position
cando a great deal toward putting a
stop to these raids on the publictreasury,
Both prosecutor and prosecuted are gen-
erally known to the local justice having
jurisdiction, and he has the opportunity
ang the right to institute such inquiries
as shall satisfy him that there is reason-
able cause of action ; but too often his
greed and avarice blind him to every
principle of right and justice, and in-
duce him to proceed for the purpose of
making his cost, which he knows are
sure.
If our State Legislature could be
made to see this matter in its proper
light and would enact a law compelling
whosoever brought a criminal action
without good cause, to pay the full
amount of costs as soon as the bill was
ignored, it would save thousands of
dollars to the taxpayers every year,
And that is just what ought to be done
in the way of protecting people from
the men who originate criminal actions
from malicious motives and the cormor-
ants, who backed by a commission as
Justice of the peace, aid and encourage
such conduct in order that thay may
pocket a few dollars of costs.— Ez.

Hotel Royal Burned!
Appalliny Scenes at the Fire. One Hundred
Guests Entrapped. No timefor Escape.
NEw York, Feb. 8.—A disaster ap-
palling in horror and bringing to mind
the terrible occurrences in; Park Place,
still fresh in the public mind, occurred
in this city early this morning. The
Hotel Royal, that well known land
mark which has stood for more than a
quarter of a century at the southwest
corner of Sixth avenue and Fortieth
street, was burned to the ground, and a
large number of people were burned,
suffocated or crushed in the ruins.
At the time of the disaster there were
nearly 150 guests in the hotel. The
hotel employes all told numbered fifty-
five. Of this number of people five have
thus far been found dead, six are in the
hospital and sixty-three have been re-
ported alive. The number dead will
probably not exceed by a later estimate
thirty persons. :
The scenes were heartrending and ap-
palling, even to the firemen and police-
men who are used to terrible scenes.
Soon after the fire broke out ambulances
arrived from various hospitals. Manv
physicians whose residences are in the
neighborhood were quickly on the
scene and did all they could to relieve
the injured. Nearly every one of the
one hundred and twenty-four rooms
which the hotel has on its five floors
were occupied last night by guests,
many of them transient. In fact all
the rooms save four had been taken at
1 o’clock this morning. when Richard
Meares, the proprietor, went to bed.
When the flames burst forth from
some unknown cause near the elevator
shaft the entire building was instantly
enveloped in flames.
The Corpse Ran Away.
Cuicaco, Ill, Feb.11,--A colored man,
William Long, hanged himself in jail,
was ent down, pronounced dead and
the body was taken to a medical hos-
pital. 2
“This would be a good subject to
work on, boys,” said the surgeon.
“I've been looking for a nigger for
some time."
“He seems too big for the table,”
said another; “1 think I'll cat him in
two and place half of him in the other
room,”
At these words the supposed corpse
jumped from the table, and before the
police or physicians could recover from
their astonishment leaped out of the
window, which was on the second floor.
The polices ran down, and, alter a chase
captured William and carried him
back to a cell.
Col. Smith Dishonorably Discharged.
PuirLapeELPHIA, Feb. 11.—The for-
mal publication of orders from division
Pennsylvania dishonorably discharging
Colonel William B. Smith of the Third
Infantry was made to-day, by Major
General Snowden, The orders recite in
detail the charges end specifications and
conclude with approving remarks by
General Snowden upon the finding of
the court. The charges and specifica-
tions which transpired fully at the court
martial last fall, at City Hall, are still
fresh in the public mind. They arose
almost entirely from allegations that
armory rent warrants of $200 each of |
companies A, C, E,F and H had been !
unlawfully appropriated by Colonel
Smith, ;
The Silver Bills.
The House Committee Report a Free Coinage
Measure To-day.
WaAsHINGTON, Feb. 9.—The house
committee on coinage, weights and
measures, expect to finish up their bus-
iness to-morrow and report a bill to the
house providing for the free coinage of
silver. Mr. Bland hus prepared a bill
which will certainly be adopted, provid-
ing for the unlimited coinage of silver
presented at the mint in sums of one
hundred dollars or more, the depositor
to receive either the coin or certificates,
which are redeemable in eithersilver or
gold. Provision is made that the stand-
ard shall be 412} grains, but itis pro-
vided further that in case of an agree-
ment with France or other countries
this standard may be changed, not to go
below 400 grains to the dollar.
The action of the senate finance com-
mittee of the senate, making an adverse
report on the free coinage proposition
does not necessarily insure the defeat of
measure, but it gives a set back to the
silver men. With two men paired, the
committee stands eight to four against
free coinage, and it is the opinion of an-
ti-Free Coinage Democrats the bill can-
not be passed through the senate.

The Search For Bodies Discontinued.
New York, Feb. 10.—During the
afternoon no additional bodies were
found in the ruins of the hotel Royal,
nor was anything of value which wight
lead to the identification of any one
turned up by the workmen. "Every
inch of the ruins was searched and
every particle of debris turned over. It
is said by the contractor that no further
discoveries need be expected and that
there were no more bodies in the ruins.
At six o'clock the force of workmen was
laid off and the search was discontinued
Both Need ‘Attention.
From the Clearfield Republican.
The editors of the Philadelphia Re-.-
cord and the New York Sun are criti--
cising each other’s Democracy. We
have been reading after them for many
years, and in our judgment concerning
their Democracy, both stand badly in
need of repairs. Their abuse of Presi-
dential candidates partakes more of
blackguardism than anything else.
Their personal abuse of Senator Hill
and ex-President Cleveland is vile and
uncalled for.

Cuicaco, Feb. 9.—A special from
Boulder, Col., says: Another big
strike is reported from Copper Rcck,
and it promises to be even larger than
the Orphan Boy. It iscalled the Shady
side and is located a short distance south
of the Orphan Boy. The vein is about
four feet wide and pieces of ore from the
top show a streak of white quartz two
inches wide that is so full of free gold
that it is yellow in color. Every miner
and prospector in town is outfitting for
the new field.

elect Blaine. This must be an interest-
ing confession to the New York Sun
which supported him.
