The abduction of Beitba Beck, at Penryn lust Thursday, it the principal theme of discussion In tliig city at present. There wa, probably, never a aonsatlen In tbla auction which held the publie mlcd se ten aciously. When the news of the kldnan- ping drat reached here various were the rumors seen Btarted. Many people per sanded themselves that the child was drowned and at the bottom of the lakef ethers that tramps secured and spirited her away for ransom, and jRIU cthere maintained ehe was the victim of swine or dogs. As the hours wero en the Bcnsatlen became mere marked, and when the llttle unfortunate was rc8oued,tho highest plteh otexeltemenl pervaded every household. The arreat of the old charm-werker, William Smith, as the abduoter et the little girl, created Intense fxoltemont at Fan ryn ou Friday, and, at bofero atited, there were some men In the crowd there previous te Smith's removal te Leb- 1 anon jail who wero sufficiently enraged te have lynched him had there net been a Btreng guard ever the prisoner. People around ML Hepe, White Oak and vicinity are of the opinion that the trial of Smith In September will net result in his oonvlo eonvlo oenvlo tton, believing that an alibi will be fully etiBtalnfid. That Bertha Beck: was taken by some ene te wbere ihe was found Is doubted by few people. However the develop ments In the case will serve te keep public Interest In the matter for months te come. 1'UIiNIHHED HAII. William Smltb, the accused kidnapper, was brought before 'squire Krelder In Lebanon tm Monday afternoon. HI ap pearance did net ludlcate that he wassuf lerlng from mrntal strain, and his counsel were making every effort te prevent him from engaging In conversation with any one. Te thol.NTKr-r.ieKNCEH'-i correspon dent he said his innocence would be proved In e;urt. Ball in the sum of (2,000 was fur nished and Smith wasroleased. His bends men, residents of near Whlte Oak, were Geerge M. Harman, Jacob M. Will and Henry Stelnman. Smith left Lebanon en the 7:30 train Monday evening, and there was qulte a crowd at the station when he bearded the cars. Smith was met en his arrival at White Oak station by a UrRO number of bis neigh bors. They believe him te be Innocent of the high crime charged. In the crowd ac ac ac oemranlng him were sevtral of the parties who will ttBtlfy that he was at w etic four miles distant from Penryn when Bertha Beck was abducted. H. O. Shirk, of Lebanon, of counsel for the commonwealth In the case against Smltb, thus took down Bertha Beck's testi mony at the hearing In Lebanon : " He stele me. He put his ht nd evor my month and told me I musn't cry. Then he ran with me as fast as he could, and put me fa a hole. He iald I must stay there till my mamma came. He didn't hurt me, but he scolded me, and I was afraid te cry. I saw the ears going, and I beard the Fourth et July, tee. She referred te the explosions or dynamite He covered me with a cloth and threw some leaves ever me, but he didn't stay with me all night. When It get light meaning the morning after she had been utelen be came te me ; he told me I mustn't cry ; be told me mamma would come. But archly he didn't give me anything te eat I He rame te see me I doa'tknew bow tnuny times, but he didn't stay. Then I crept out, because 1 heard psople calling, and thee then some men came and picked me up and euricd roe te my mamma I" Smith says that en ThursJay he was en awed In the harvest field eeven mill a away lrent Penryn pjrk. After supper he went te White Oak station and awaited the arrival of the train from Lebanon. Mr. Jehn Sayler, one of the empleyes of the company, Informed him of the disappear ance of the child, and he replied "It was a bad night for be young a ehlld te spend en the mountain." He then says he told Bayler that belng the possessor of an erd splegel," or Imagination glass, through which he had discovered water and stolen property, he would next morning endeavor te loon te the ehlld. At 7 o'clock next morning he says be walked te White Oak fetatien and purchased ticket te Penryn park, showing at the aame time his glass te the ticket agent. He says the glass Is a never ailing one It la 0 by 10 Inebes in size and has been In bis poesetslen 15 years and be knewa where there la mere geld In tbe mountain than can be hauled away in two Coneatoga wagons. Supt Nell" Btatas that It la fortunate that the lake was net drawn ett, for If it had been, Its waters would inve rushed ever the ground wbere the child waa lying and she would have been drewne 1.

The girl waa then taken te the Messrs. Astrleh's store and placed en exhibition. After she waa en exhibition for mere than an hour, and whea the crowd was the largest, Mrs. Beek called at the store and said she would have te take her ehlld home. Messrs. Aatrlehs made no objeetlon. Mrs. Beek waa given the child ; she was taken from the store room,and car ried home, followed by several hundred men, women and children.

Proceedings have been begun and they must take thelr course ; and If the men who have been arrested are found guilty It Is net for the railroad te decide what shall ba done with thorn.

Rumors gained currouey last night of the arrrat of Mr. Arthur, chief of tbe Brotberhood of Engineers, and et the dis covery or a new circular which was very damaging te the order.

Chlel Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Hnglnoers, was net arrested last night, as intimated In a morning paper. I wish the United Press would say, as coming from me, that the Brotherhood has no sympathy with dynamiters and that everymau proved guilty of being identi fied with the use of dynamlte will be ex pelled from the order. We will notcoun netcoun notceun tonanoe any action en the part of any man that would bring discredit en tbe order." Mr. Arthur aald hu was waiting ter a met met sage whleh would dotermlne whether he would go te St. Paul. Nothing definite had been dene at tbe conference with the Burlington efllclala last night, be said, and no further oeusultatlou had been arranged. General Manager SI. Jehn, of the Reck Island, when asked te-day If there waa a prospect et a strike upon that read, said : "It there was any Indication or a strlke en tbe Reck Island, I would certalnly hear of It Our men have no grievance that I knew of; I have net been waited en by a commit commit tee, and 1 certalnly de net think there It any trouble among our engineers." With roference te the dispatch received from Davenport last night, Mr. Uege said this merning: "The dispatch may mean a boycott or many ether things, but I don't think there will be any trouble. Tbe 'Q' allalr will I fixed up bofero many hours have passed, and when tbe Burlington trouble is settled It will be llke pouring oil en tbe troubled waters." GALEsnuue, 111., July 17.

Who are demanding tree wool In the present dispute evor taxing wool T Is It the wool-growers ? Let us see. Calllernla la the largest wool-growing state in the union, with 6.500,000 sheep, and her delegation lu tbe Heuse is nearly evenly divided en the question, with ene free wool united states aeuater Just elected en the tariff reform issue. Texan Is the next largest wool growing state with 4,500,000 sheep, and for ten years past her people have oleeted a solid delega tion In Congress In favor et free wool. Ohie la the third wool state with 4 100,- 000 sheep, and Oregon the fourth 3,000 000 sheep, and both are strongly Rnpublfeau states and favor high war tariff taxes en everything, including wool. Michigan Is the fifth wool state with 2, 100,000 aheep, and her delegation In tbe Uouse is nearly equally divided en tbe question. New Yerk la the alxth wool slate with 1 500 000 ahoep. She has n nearly equally divided delegation In Congress en tbe issue aud la next te certain te vete for free wool at tne next election. Missouri Is the soventh wool state, with 1,100.000 Sheep, and her delPizatlnn la neurit? unanimous in favor et free wool. Indiana ranks about with Missouri, and her delegation is about equally divided en the question. Texas, whose delegation In Congress Is unanlmens for Ireo wool, grows mere sheep than all New Kngland, New Yetk, New Jerseyand Pennsylvania combined. California and Mlehlgan, two of the great wool-growing statea whleh have uauauy given large uepubiicau majorities, are both accepted as doubtful stales this year because et the growth of tariff reform among their peeple. In point of fact, the woel-growors of the country taken as a class by themselves, would profit by froe wool with the reduc tion of twenty per eenf. en woolens that raw materials wenld assure and give greater compensation te both capital aud labor In the woolen Industry. A large majority of the representatives et the great wool-growing atatea favor free wool, while New Kngland, with only 1,250, 000 eheep In her whole alx states, votes nearly solid against It, and Pennsylvania, with less than 1.009,000 sheep, votes nearly solid the same way. It la obvious that the demand for high taxes en wool does net oemo from the wool weol woel growora. On the contrary, It comes from tbe representatives of oxtertlonato combines aud trusts bred by excessive tariff duties, and the wool-grower la made tbe tell for monopolist. The people want free wool first, because thore Is llttle labor te protect In its pro duction ; second, because it would double our woolen mills and double employment In tbe woolen industry ; third, because It would ulve the whole hnmn Inmrknt tn nnr home milts and home labor ; fourth, bo be bo cauae It would cheapen woolen goods te consumers fully 20 per cent without lean te either capital or labor, and, finally, because It would add greatly te the general prosper ity of the whele people.

In 1370 the Hen. Wm. M. Hvarts, as sec retary of state, addreased a letter te tbe speaker et tbe Heuso et Representatives transmitting reports from American con suls in rotation te the condition of labor In Kurcpi. Theso reports glve tables show ing the wages paid te skilled laborers In various occupations In P.urope and In New Yerk, Chicago and ethor Industrial centres of this country. In feet, Secretary Kvarts was an enlightened pioneer in a work which has contributed largely te a solution of the Industrial question. In his letter accempinying these consular reports he said : One workman in the Unlted State, as will be seen from tbe foregoing extracts, does as much work as two workmen in most of tbe countries In Kurnpe. We have no eppreaaed and stupid peas antry, little morn Intelligent than the tools tbey handle. All are selt-thlnklng, self acting and self-supporting, Within the last fifteen years we have demonstrated our ability, by the brilliant development nf our own rebeuices, te exclude, by honest oempotltlon, foreign manufactures, Ut a large extent, from our shores. The question which new peremptorily challenges all thinking minds is bow te create a foreign demand for these manufac tures whicu are leu alter supplying our home demands. We cannot stand still, for the momentum et increase will aoen be be be ceme se great that It will push us outward anyway ; te push us safely and profitably is et be mueh importance as te almost overtop all ether public questions of the hour. This quostlen appeals equally te the selfishness and patriotism ut all our oitl eitl zens ; but te tbe laborer It appeals with teufeld force, for without work be cannot live, and unless we can txtend tbe markets for our manufacturea be cannot expect steady work, nnd unless our manufacturers can undersell foreign manufactures we cannot enlarge our foreign market.
