GU1TEAUS PURSUE HIM.
TIIEATENINO LETTERS SENT PRESIDENT
lARRISBN BY THE TANNER CLIN.
Twe Special Detectives Protect the
Presldcnten His Journey Frem Wash
ington te Deer Park en Saturday.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger write:
When President Harrison left the cltv en
KaturdBy for Dcer Park his Immediate
companions were his son Russell mid
Congressman Orosvcner, ofehlo. He was
also accompanied, it was learned te-day
from a truBtwerthy autlierlty, hy two
special detectives, whose duties did net
tease until he was safely at his mountain
cottage.
The cause of this precaution, It Is stated,
was the fact that threatening letters and re
marks from someor Tanner's hasty and
Injudicious friends had lieen of siich n
nutiire tint it was thought best te take
some action te prevent such a calamity as
had been hinted at.
The detectives were net engaged by the
president or any member of Ills family,
and his consent te permit them te acco.fi acce.fi
pany him w as secured with much difficulty,
he at first holding that it would be doing
the soldier element of the country irre
parable injustice) te cast such a reproach en
them.
But alter the gravity of the situation was
pointed ent te him, and the possibility of
Konie half-demented individual, excited
ever the Tanner case, creating a " scene,"
he agreed that his friends might take such
action as they deumed best, but cautioned
them te avoid nil publicity in their move
ments. Gen. McMuheu en Pension Legislation.
Gen Martin T. McMuheu, of New Yerk,
n Grand Army man, one of the beard et
governors ofthe seldiers' home, and who
has given clese study tb tension matters,
declares It te be his doliberato conviction
that the pension legislation suggested at the
last encampment of the Grand Army at
Milwaukee, will, ir enactcd Inte laws,
cost the peeple of the United States
as much as did the war Itself. He
says that It Is time the thoughtful, pa
triotic men of the Grand Arinv should
pretest. Nobody will doubt thaC General
McMahon is entitled te speak as a repre-sontative-ef
the veterans He was in the
field in every battle fought by the army of
the Potomac during its five years of ser
vice. He caught General Sedgwick in his
arms at Gettysburg as he fell dying. Twe
of his brothers successively commanded a
New Yerk regiment and successively fell
at the head of that regiment. If the wcrvlce
pension bill should be adopted General
McMahon would receive the largest possi
ble pension under It. Gcnenil'McMalKm
said:
"In my opinion the pievnlllng senti
ment of the Grand Army, If It could be
properly ascertained, would be found te l
simply this, that the government should
comply with the Implied contract made
with the men who entered the service In
the war of '01 by giving liberal poiisiensto
these who were actually disabled and te
the widow s of the dead soldiers who aie in
need. Neither the government nor the
peeple ever undci took todemoro than this,
and the talk about pensioning every man,
without reforcuce te his physical disability
or bis condition in life, is curried te an ab
surd excess by many peeple who claim
te represent tiie Grand Army."
Of the effect of the passago'ef the arrears
of pension bill upon the soldiers he said :
" lean only say that the arrears paid te
disabled seldiers in the national homes
was, in the great majority of Instances, a
misfortune rather than a benefit, By far
the greater number of these men, coming
suddenly into possession of large sums,
amounting in soma instances te thousands
of dollars immediately took their departure
f-eni the homes, only te return alter a few
weeks or months utterly broken down,
nigged, robbed and destitute When the
arrears of pension bill was passed It was
claimed that ?IO,000,UOO would cover nil
expenditures undur the law . It has already
exceeded merethuu llve time that amount,
and thore are claims still pending for ever
fU00,KKO0O mere. The pension legislation
asked for new, If enacted, will very greatly
exceed any estimate thus far made, and 1
bave no hesitation in saying that it will
greatly exceed the cutlru cost of the war."

A SUMEWW PLOT SPOILED.
Creulu's Clethes Bent te England te He
Put en a Corpse.
The Chicago Evening Scxcn says: "The
latest story in the Crenln case relates te the
alleged plot te make it appear that Dr.
Crenln was murdered In Londen, en the
ground that he was a British spy. It Is said
that the pollce are in possession of evidence
te show that the conspirators had tnade
arrangements te have found in the Thames
river a mutilated and disfigured corpse, ar
rayed In clothes which Dr. Crenln were en
the night he disappeared, together with his
watch and ether trinkets. In the pockets
of the corpse were te be placed forged
letters hkewiug that Dr. Crenln had been in
correspondence with the detectives of Scot
land 1 urd for a number of years. One of
the men new en trial in the Crenln case is
said te have been delegated te attend te the
American end of the plot.
"On May 7 tills man met another con
spirator at Sweeney's hotel, In New Yerk,
and it was arranged that the effects of the
murdered doctor should xs sent te Eng
land In the sealed Iren box which had been
Ereeured by Tinsmith Klal.re a few days
elore. Tills box. it Is claimed, was In
trusted te a porter en an Inman line
steamer, who In due ttme turned it evor te
a conspirator stationed at Liverpool. This
man, it is said, was te leek after the rest of
the plot.
"He rented a cettage several miles from
Londen, en the Thames river, and made
arrangements te secure from Gray's hos
pital a corpse resembling in general features
the appearance of Dr. Crenln. The Iden
was te array this corpse In Dr. Crenln's
hablllineutM,'threw It into the Thames and
allow it te be found a day or two later,
thus shifting from Chicago te Londen the
sccne of the crime. The discovery of Dr.
Crenln's body In the catch basin in laiko laike laiko
view upset the plans of the plotters, and
'this man lied from the cottage en the night
of May SI. The porter whose services
weie secured is net an Irishman, but he
did the Jeb at the request of an lilsh
physician, a graduate of Trinity cellege,
Dublin, who has travelled en the vessel for
years as the ship's doctor.''
The Chicago Journal publishes the abeve
story nnd connects the names of Jehn 1'.
Heggs, new en trial for Dr. Crenln's
murder; "Hill" Starkey, the Chicago
fugitive from justice, and a Dr. Scallnn. of
Hancock, Mich., with the job of getting
Crenln'H clothes across.
AN OFFICKlt SHOT HY MURDERERS.
Desperate Attempt of the Nlcelys te Ks Ks Ks

Jeseph aud David Nicely, convicted of
the murder of Herman Umberger atthe
May terni of the Somerset court, escaped
from the county jail at neon en Monday.
They shot Deputy Sheriff McMillan twice,
and he may dle. The news of the csene
spread rapidly, and In a short tlmeuwell
armed posse was organized and started in

The two shots at McMillan were lircd at
clese range, both taking effect, ene passing
out of McMillan's body and the ether lodg
ing in the filth rib.
At neon Deputy Sheriff McMillan took
dinner te the Nicely brothers. Finding no
water in the corridor he called Watchman
Klefer te get It. Upen Kiefer's return with
it te the jail deer leading te the Jailer's
house, McMillan unlocked the deer mid
reached for the pail. Dave Nicely, the
youngest of the two, sprang en his back,
while Joe filed two shots from a 3$-callbiei

thought that Joe could net ba taken alive.
Shots were fired Inte the brush. Joe was

A rope was procured, nnd lynching would

A TIMELY WAUNING.
Squlti factories arc at Werk In the Sauie
Old Way.
Eds. l.NTiiu.tiiKNCUii: If nny factory
where high cxptolves are manufactured is
blown up, we are ready with comiuents en
the carelessness of men, but it Is net often
that a I'lmnce Is found te rabuke that care
lessness before death administers the pun
ishment. I learn en geed authority that
there Is new In operation at Plymouth, this
stntc, n squib factory that is managed In a
surprisingly reckless fashion. The
malingers of this factory have had
two fires or explosions due te their
manner of carrying en the business,
although they In soine way escapxl ixn
domnatien, the Jury finding lu each case
that the horrible catastrophe was an act of
(Sed. Miners fire their blasts by means of
n long straw, which Is closed at olio end
with soap, filled with line powder and
fastened nt the ether end with a piece of
aper that has been soaked in a thin paste
of jiewdcr and wnter. This "squib "is
placed ever the charge with the soap
cud down, the slew miming jupcr is
lighted and the miner retires. As
seen as the tire reaches the powder-filled
straw the squib starts off
en the rocket principle but downward
instead of upward ; it strikes the blasting
charge and the blast Is II red. The miners
often make their own squibs themselves,
but there nre squib factorles whero they
nre manufactured for snle by girls nnd beyr.
Net very long age a factory of this kind
was burnt up veiy suddenly nnd a mituber
uf operatives killed. The plan of operation
Is such that it Is qulte astonishing that snne
men should practice It or an intelligent
community permit it. The operatives
work In n room heated by a stove,
although they have large quantities of
powder and piles of these miniature
rockets nil about them. This buslness is
mero in danger of llre than powder mak
ing by the ndditieu ofthe travelling squibs,
which may carry the fire te oxpleslvos nt
some distance. Nq powder maker lu his
senses would heat n work room with a
stove. It wns learned nfter a squib works
explosion net long slnce that It was the
crstem te threw the sweepings ofthe shop
Inte the stove, and it is supposed that a
charged winlb was thrown In by
mistake and promptly shot out and
Ignited the stock of squibs and )mvv
der. At the present tlme In Ply
mouth, Pennsylvania, a factory of this
kind Is being carried en in the same way
by men who have tvjjlce had similar
disasters. Juries may put the responsi
bility en Ged, but it rests heavily upon
criminally careless man. If the work must
be done in heated rooms, het water or
steam should rcplace the deadly stove, and
the operations should be conducted with
all the earn demanded in a powder mill.

of the dissensions among the leaders that
weie looked for 'by the llepubllcans and
the paily organization being porlect, with
many well organized clubs.
Owing te the icglstratleii law passed by
the Republicans et the last territorial Legis
lature, and which applies te country pro
ducts as well us te the cities, this united
work ofthe Democrats will have a geed
effect. The result of the law Is that In a
large number of Instances men are coin
polled te go eighty miles te the registra
tion office, evor mountains and across the
prairies, and that, tee, nt n season when the
tlme can least be spared. The Republicans
knew that the heavy Democratic vete was
polled in these districts lu which the opu epu opu
Intleu wns most scattered,
Anether thing they counted en was the
fact thai the same election which sent them
te the Legislature llkew ise elected Repub
lican county eoininlssienera. As II wns
made the duty et these county commit cemmit commit
deners te lx the places e" registration
these commissioners fixed the registration
elllres in the surely Republican products,
and as far away as Hisslble from tee Deme,
emtie strongholds. The Domecratlii man
agers have sunt nieu all ever the territory
te see that every Democrat entitled te vete
was registered.
T. C. Power, the Republican can can
didule for governor, Is a govern
ment contractor who supplies the
military pests and Indian agencies, and he
is net al all a nenular candidate, while J.
K.Toele, the Democratic- nominee, Is a
very popular man w it li an excelleut re
cord. T. II. Carter, the Republican candi
date for Congress, will tun better than Iho
head et the ticket, bill his Democratic ad
versary, Maitln Maglnuls, Is u stieng man
and Is making n vigorous canvass. The
tariff plank in the Democratic philfeim has
cll'eclually silenced the clamor en free
trade lleie it is:
We repudiate the allcgitlen that the
Democratic party favors frea trade. Reve
nue for the needs of thu government must
be raised bya tariff upon imports, but the
duty should be se adjusted tlint every sec
tion and every industry shall enjoy equal
ity under the law, that trusts and monopo
lies shall be prevented and labor protected
and industries encouraged. In common
with all the American people we demand
such a revision of the taiill'as will de away
with unnecessary taxation, pievcnl a dan
gerous uinil demoralizing surplus, redtice
tne cost et tne necessaries ei me, vviiue ai ai
ferding perfect piotectlen te American
labor.
