Absence Frem II Im Colerado Heme.
Ell Wltmer, a resident of Villa Park,

from his home and the following account
of the dlsappeamnee appeals in the W'est
Side Cttiten of June 0:
" Tuesday night Ell Wltmer, proprietor
of the Gelden avenue, meat market, left
the place about 11 o'clock saying he was
feing up town. Since that tlme nothing
as be()t heard of him. Wlille seme are
Inclined te think that Ell had beceme em em
'barrassed and Haw no way te get out of his
debts, ethers are of the opinion that lie has
been foully dealt with, ler the reason that
he has had a geed reputation and made
many friends. He had made no effort te
collect out-standing bills, and has paid bills
which he could have " steed off. " He left
all of his clothing nnd ether articles which
arenlwayskeptas gifts, relics, etc. We
bave known Ell and aie leth te belleve
that he has skipped the country. We are
satisfied that Ell Wltmer has net lea Den
ver, even if se, in his right mind. Ell has
has been distressed en account of the
orieus illness of his faithful aud'doveted
old inother, who-e letters oxprcssed ado ado
Bire that she might unce inore be permltttd
te see her ' dear son.' Were It net for the
farts that he was last seen dressed in his
old clothes and without n coat, leaving his
best clothes, a trunk filled with loiters,
photographs, presents and ethor articles
which must lmve been dear te him, one
might liave thought less of It. Ne ; we be be be
liove that something in tlu near future
wilt reveal a crime in which Eli was the
victim."
Mr. Witmer is a native of the southern
end of Lancaster county, aud he left for
Colerado soven years age, mid Ills friend
liave net seen hfin since His mother re
sides In Mlllorsville with her two dn ligh
ters. She received a.tolegrum from' ilie
editor of the abeve paper en Tuesday,
asking if Eli had arrived at her home, aud
a reply was sent, that he had net. A copy
ofthe paper from which the abeve item
is quoted was rocelvod yesterday. Frem
the letters received by his mother, it ap
pears that Eli lias been greatly worried for
some tiine en acce.int of nor ill health, an d
also that of a sitter te which he was much
attached.
A copy of the abeve paper was seut te
Mayer Clark, and he lias written te the
editor and also the chief of pelice of the
town for a full description of the missing
man. Itlspiobable that Mr. Witmer is
en the read East and may Teach Lancaster

Framing nu Election Law.
The Heuso caucus committee, which is
charged with the preparation of a national
election bill en lines agreed upon by the
last caucus, has been Industriously per
fecting the details of the measure and 1ms
se far progressed as te be able te send a
rough draft of the bill te the public printer.
Some of the changes made already in the
original Hewell bill are : A prevision that
in case of conflict between the returns sent
in bv state election officers and by these of
the United States election elllcers and by
theso of the United States supervisors the
latter are te constitute prima facie evldence
or the right of the member te his seat, and
n prevision that the Unlted States court
within au election district appoint a beard
of tbrce persons representing both political
parties te canvass the returns of the super
visors. .,
A problem that Is giving the cominlttee
some'concorn is hew te fermulate a provi previ
sion for insortlen in the bill te carry out its
desire te prevcnl the wholesalo and wrong
ful disfranchisement of voters, as alleged
te prevail In Seuth Carolina, and te meet
the alleged Virginia and North Carolina
fraudulent practices In connection with the
purging" ei inn usi ei voiers. it eppears
that much difficulty Is being oxperienced
in making the supervisory system fill
theso needs; but the coinmittce is confident
of Usability te sol ve the question.

JUDGE WHITE'S CHARGE.
The Lawyers Fer F. S. Tarbell Say
Was Unfair The First Johustewu
Floed Suit.
In the case el Farnev S. Tarbell.
It
of
Cleveland, Ohie, against the Pennsylvania
raureau company, te recover soe.uuu nmii
ages for the death of his wire and three
children, who were passengers en the
Day Express and were swept away in the
flood at Ceuemaugh, May 21, 18S9, the jury
in Pittsburg en Thursday rcturned a ver
dict for the defendant.
The trial has been In progress ever a
week, the case being vigorously contested
by both sides. Messrs. Marshall and
Imbrie, Tarbelt'sattorneys, lay the defeat
ofthelr client's claim upon Judge White,
who, they sav, charged strongly against
them. After the judge delivered his charge
a somewhat spirited dialogue took place
botweenthe judge and the plaintiff, Mr.
Tarbell. During the entire trial Tarbell
has been greatly exercised, and the charge
of the court seemed te particularly Incense
him.
When Judge White descended from the
bench he walked ever te Mr. Tarbell aud
in a kindly tone and manner opened a con
versation. Tarbell turned en him with the
reniark, "Well I expected at leust pne
thing In this trial, and that was a fair and
impartial charge from the court, but I see
I did net even get that."
Mr. Tarhcll's atterneys will carry the
case te the supreme court, hoping te secure
a reversal en the charge of Judge Whlte
alene.
This case was the first of the suits for
damages that grew out of the Johnstown
flood, and was, therefore, looked upon by
all as a test. The plaintiff claimed that It
was negligence en the part of the railroad
te let the train stand in the Ceuemaugh
yards in the face of the pending dangers
that threatened the whole Ceuemaugh Val Val
Iey, In case the Seuth Ferk dam gave way,
and that the company bad plenty of time
te remeve the train te a safe place, but did'
net de it.
The railroad company took the position
that its men exercised reasonable care and
prudeuce, and in the light of past experi
ences in floods In this valley selected a
place for the trains that had never been
Heeded. Several attorneys had received
1 list ructions te institute proceedings at ence
In cae the verdict in the Tarbell suit
should be in favor of the plaintiff. Nene
of these eases will new be entered until the
supreme court passes upon the Tarbell
case, which will net be till next October.
The next civil action arising out of the
Johnstevn catastrophe te be tried in Pitts
burg will be the one brought against the
Seuth Ferk Fishing company, owners of
the preperty of the dam.

A GOOD CIRCUS,
Hud Wenther Dees Net Prevent the Peo
ple Frem Turning Out.
Although the woather loekod very
threatening the greater part or yesterday
afternoon, thore was a large audience te see
the Walter Main-Van Atnburg circus. Late
in the afternoon a very heavy rain set in
and continued for a couple of hours, but it
was after the performance. AVhen it was
tlme for the evenlug performance the
clouds wero again very dark and overy oue
felt.cenlldent that there would be rain very
seen. '-The people turned out, howevor,
and the result was another large and Ien :e.
Every partef thu tent was full with the ex
ception ofthe reserved seats. The ground
was very damp all through tbe touts, and
the mud was quite deep in the ring, mak
ing it difficult te glve seme or the perform
ance The show bears the niiine or Van Am
burg, who has been dead for about twenty twenty
llve years, but Mr. Main bought the right
te use the naiue seme years age, and he is
ownernf the entire outfit. The show Is
ene or the best or Its kind te be seen any
where. It is cheaper than the big shows,
and thrco-feurths ofthe poeplo who attend
clrcuses would rather see it than the
big, unwieldy concerns which de net
give satisfaction with their deuble and
triple lingx. This is a regular old tlme
circus with ene ring and many ether
familiar features. The ring performance
Is very geed throughout, and it contains
many real brilliant features. Aineiigineui
aie the barnback riding or Master Ales.
Lowande, nnd the two-hnrse carrying act
or the boy and his sister, acrobatic and bar
performance of the De Alums, the perch
uud trapozeacts of Caster mid Cernea, reck
less riding of the Indians, with a thrilling
duel, the performing dogs, herses ami
goats of Joe B nils, tVc. One or the runniest
acts en the bill Is that of Luke Rivers,
which is old but is just the kind te stir up
an audlonce. Rivers Impersonates an old
countryman with a half "Jag" en, mid he
mingles with the uudlence until they think
he is ene of thorn, but a very fresji ene.
He finally geos Inte the ring, changes ids
old clothes for suit or tights, in the pros pres pros
unce or all, and does a riding act. It has
been manv a day slnce Rivers began doing
that act, 'but It gees yet with a rush. A
better allow than Is given by the party
could uet well be expected.
The mcnagerle, though small, has quite
a nice let el animals. The fcature of the
aide show Is the man who lifts a herse ;
wlille the big act of the concert, alter the
main show, is that ofthe woman w he pull
against a pair or horses. The concert, by
the way, is much better than the usii il run
of them.
At an early hour this morning the sh w
started for Quarry v!llo,whero the business
w ill be big ir the weather remains geed.

Tliere is a general understanding that the

ready te report te the Senate en Monday.
It Is understood that the bill has net been
materially changed. The reduction en

u few ether changes In the metal schedule,
are, perhap, the most marked of any made.
There has been cuts In the lumber duties.

will net be disposed of without some con

roughers and catchers a percentage en ton ten ton

apportionment, and a lively contest scorns
iuovltable.
The roughers and catehers liave suc

from puddlers' dolcgates, but ovidances are

are that when the scale is arranged it will

The prescnt Congress has made many
heavy Inroads upon the surplus, but no
wilder leap In the dark has yet been made
than the adoption of the compromise dis
ability pensien bill in the patched-up shape
that It presented after lUhad been fixed up
by the conference committee. The sym
pathy or the old soldiers and their sous
must be retained somehow, and the mere
higatclle, that Representative Merrill con
siders the $35,000,000 carried by the com
promise bill, U deemed only a small return
for their realty te the party new In pewer.
Mr. Merrill was frank enough te admit In
the Heuso that this was uet all the Repub
licans wanted te de for the old soldiers, but
they consider It butter than nothing at all.
It Is admitted that $.15,000,000 Is but a
small part ur what the bill will probably
cost In tbe end. but thore Is at prcseut neth
ing en which a definite estimate can be
based. There is no doubt, howevor, that It
will Involv'e the expenditure of something
llke $00,000,000 the first year, und that that
amount will Increase year by year for a
long tlme te come. The pension ofllce gave
up trying te llgure out the ultimate cost of
the experiment and the committee admitted
te the Heuso that no estimate could be
given. Truly the surplus Is being reduced
and the wiseacres shake their heads and
predict that the treasury will be empty In
less than a year.
In the course or seme remarks en the
conference repert in the Heuso en Thurs
day Itopresentatlve Hendersen presented
seme Interesting figures showing the ap
propriations made by the prcseut Congress
ftir the beuefit orthe Holdler. Besldes the
regular pensien bill carrying $08,000,000 he
Itemized the ethor sums appropriated, and
startled his hoarers with the Information
that the total amount taken from the treas
ury was(!107,lll",731, which Includes inoney
for soldiers' homes, artificial limbs and
overythlug connected with the pensien de
partment. These are actual flgures, aud
still Mr. Merrill says the country must de
something for the men who saved the
country.
