19 years old, a bride, stood early today.
Next to her stood her fiance, Paul llano

Fifty guests wero drinking Hungarian
wines to tho health of tho bride and

RARE MINERALS RELATED
Chemist Made Interesting Discovery
Concerning Anhydrite and
Thaumasite,
NEW YORK. Nov. !S.-Frderiok Innis
Allen, a lawyer and chemist of thla city,
by examining crystal blasted out of a
quarry at West Peterson, N. J., haa dis
covered that two rare mineral aubstancee,
heretofore considered to be entirely In
dependent ot each other, have the re
lationship of parent and offspring.
He says the mineral 1 anhydrite, a sul
phate of lime, which, upon decomposition,
produces ihaumaslte. Anhydrite is trans
parent and light blue in color and occurs
surrounded by amethystine quartz, mak
ing unusually handsome specimens De
composition changes the mineral to a
pure white crystalline msa of thauma
slte, which remains In place and In the
form of the original anhydriu, Allen ex
plained. The new mineral has no com
mtreiat value.
A second confession that he killed eight-year-old
Albert Kraft last Wednesday
night was made today by Victor E.
Kslielinan, a boarder nt the Inasmuch
Mission, 1011 Locust street, who is being
held without ball for the murder at
City Hall. This confession was made to
George Long, superintendent of the mis
sion. Captain of Detectives Cameron said
after Long concluded his talk with Eshel
man that but ono point remained to be
cleared up. Attaches of the mission
ny that Kshelman reached there the
night of the murder about 6:15 o'clock.
The detectives think they are mistaken
about the time.
They also say Eshelman took supper
at the mission. In his confession to
Long today Eshelman says he went di
rectly to the religious services being con
ducted at the institution and did not ent
any supper. His story was substantially
tho samo as that which he told Saturday.
Long was called in by Captain Cameron
because of dlscrcDanclea In the storv told
by Eshelman and in pointing out places
where parts of the dead boy's clothing
were found.
Detectives Emanuel nnd Glonncttl wero
In tho room today when Eshelman was
questioned. Tho prisoner, who Is being
held without ball on the charge of mur
der, was so weak thli morning that he
staggored on his way from the ccllroom
to the ofllce of Captain Cameron. Dctec
tlvo Glonncttl almost had to carry him.
At tho door of tho captain's otllco Eshel
man showed tho first Blgn of fear slnco
ho has been under arrest. Ho faltered nnd
then tried to hang back as though ho
did not want to enter. The detective had
to urgo him forward to get him Into tho
room.
Nlnc-j car-old Frederick Sykea and his
8-ycar-old brother, William, with Albert
Zubluch, of 1423 South Fallon street, all
playmates of the murdered boy. wero
taken to City Hall today In an attempt
to Identify Eshelman. AH declared they
had never seen him before. Policeman
Curtis, of tho C3th street and Woodland
hvtnue station, told Captain Cameron ho
had seen the man near the sceno of the
murder, SOth street and Gibson avenue,
but not within the last few weeks.
SEEN AT 6 P. M. DAT OF MURDER.
It has now been established definitely
that Eshelman entered the Inasmuch Mis
sion, where ho boarded, at about 6 IG
o'clock last Wednesday night, tho night
ot tho murder. Frederick L. Mortimer,
who checks the hats nnd coats nt the
mission, told Captain Cameron today that
ho could not be mistaken In the tlmo Esh
elman entered tho placo because he al
wnjs looked for tho man.
Eshelman always took five to 10 minutes
to tako off his overcoat, according to
Mortimer. The night of the muidcr was
no exception, and Mortimer remembered
mai several persons had called his at
tention to tho man standing with his
coat half off as If lost In thought.
Eshelman confessed Saturday that he
had strangled Kraft nnd hidden his
body In a deserted culvert near E6th
street nnd Gibson avenue, where it was
lounu cany Thursday morning.
Sitting stolidly In his cell on the sixth
floor of City Hall, Eshelman has been
closely watched since yesterday, when
he sent a note to Cantaln Cameron, In
which ho outlined directions for the dis
position of his body "In case he died
suddenly." Detectives are guarding
against an attempt at suicide. Captain
Cameron and members of the murder
squad are divided in their opinion as to
thn truth of Eshclman'a confession.
On Saturday he guided detectives over
the ground In the vicinity of tho crime,
and though he appeared to know It Inti
mately, his errors in pointing out the
position of tho body and tho spot where
some of the victim's clothing was found,
are taken an basis for doubting tho story
he tells.
"Victor was aluajs the mildest man In
the world," said A. P. Wltmcr. of 1601
Summer street. Eshelman's cousln, today.
"After his mother died ho was brought up
by his aunt and his grandmother, both of
whom havo since died. Their Influence. I
always thought, had tho effect of making
him a most tractable person.
T don't think he had nerve enough
to commit such a crime. Why, he left
West Point at the end of a year because
ne was nomesick. ills grandmother was
well oft and ho knew he could go back
home nnd bo sure of a welcome. West
Point Is a pretty trying place, I guess,
and Victor didn't like It.
"He went to school In Lancaster and
when ho was 20 they sent him to West
Point. Aftor he left there he came to
Philadelphia and he has been here ever
since, so far as I know. We used to see
him every month or two.
"He had a good position with the trac
tion company and we thought he was
dclng welt. It was only after he got
Into trouble with the company that he
began to act the way he does now," Mr.
WItmer referred to the time last October,
when Eshelman was sentenced to six
months In the County Prison after being
convicted of taking J375 from the Funeral
Beneficiary Association of the employes,
"I knew Victor was on the down grade
after the trouble In the traction com
pany," WItmer continued, "but I cannot
Deueve ne committed this crime. He
hasn't got the nerve, that's the main
reason."
In the brief note he sent to Captain
Cameron esterday, Eshelman said that
if ho died suddenly he wished to have
his body burled in the plot in which hU
mother's body lay. The family plot is
In a village cemetery at Paradise, a
little town nine miles east of Lancaster,

The success of the protest meeting In
tho Garrlck Thcatio tomorrow afternoon,
when repiesentntlves from 200 business
organizations within a commuting dls
tanco of Philadelphia will band together
In the fight, hns already been assured by
tho henrty response being given to the
call for the mcotlng.
Scores of replies from various organiza
tions have been leccived ty Kdwnrd u.
Martin, chairman of the Transportation
Committee of the United Business Men's
Association, and Mr. Abbott.
It was decided this morning to Invito
all country clubs and golf clubs near tho
city to Join In the movement, since these
organizations will bo vitally affected If
the proposed Inci ease Is allowed to be
come operative. It Is said that caddies
of many of tho clubs have already In
formed tho club managers that they will
have to have a substantial Increase In
pay on account of tho Increase In the
cost of tho carfare. As many from tho
city who go out to play golf uso tho
trains, the Increased rates will mnko
every game of golf played more expen
sive. Mr. Abbott today wrote the Interstate
Commerce Commission protesting against
the rate Increase and asking that a dato
for a hearing bo set when the com
muters may present their objections. Mr.
Abbott nlso announced he would draw up
m legal form without cost petitions
to bo filed with the Commission for any
organization that may wish to protest
REQUEST LEGISLATIVE ACTION.
New Jersey commuters are planning a
special appeal to Governor Fielder asking
him to reconsider his refusal to call a
special session of tho Legislature to pass
upon the proposed passenger rate Increase
which the railroads havo announced will
become effective December IS. "
William Carey Marshall, attorney for
the South Jersey Commuters' Associa
tion, will draft the formal petition today
following a conference with a committee
tepresentlng the various organizations
united In the light. This petition, which
will contain a numher of added reasons
why the State Legislature should con
sider the Increase, will bo presented to
the Governor tomorrow morning.
Mr. Marshall said this morning although
the commuters feel they won tho first
score in the light when the Public Utili
ties Commission announced last Friday
It had ordered the suspension of the In
crease until March 15 and had set De
cember 22 as the dato ot a public hearing
on the justification for the Increase, there
are certain Issues In the fight over which
the power.! of the commission has not
fully been determined. The power of the
commission as relating to the 60 and 100
trip tickets which have been entirely abol
ished by the railroads Is particularly In
doubt.

WHEN ''RIVER RYE" FLOWS

West Virginians Expect Some Solnco
in Monongahela.
TATRHONT. IV. Va., Nov. 23.-So great
lias been tho accumulation of Intoxicants
in barrels, boxes, Jugs and bottles In
tlio Courthouse that county officials are
hampered In tho transaction ot business,
nnd it has been decided to pour the stuff
Into tho Mononirahela Itlvcr. It has been
confiscated Btnce the Yost prohibition law
went Into effect, on July 1.
It Is predicted thnt on tho day nil tills
accumulation Is poured into tho river the
stream will become so strongly lmprcB
nated that a few drinks of water will be
suiuclont for a "jaK."
At nny rato, the county officials nro
keeping secret tho day selected for tho
ceremony of pouring. But the town's
hard drlnkera, It Is hinted, will form
a lino up and down the river's bank for
a couple of miles, every ono ready to send
tho word along:, "They're pouring It In
here!"
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. The order ot
Secretary of Agriculture Houston lifting
tho qunrantlno against Canada on ac
count of tho foot nnd mouth disease la
tegarded by the authorities hero ns en
couraging evidence that they are "on tho
outside ot the disease." This means that
there Is ground for belief that quaran
tines nlrcady1 declared havo been suffi
cient to stop the movement of Infected
cattle nnd tnnl the disease can be held
within tho llmlls of the areas nlready
quarantined.
"It Is quite possible, of course," says
the deportment In n statement today,
"that sporadic cases may bo found In
one or two more States, but It Is hoped
that, even If this docs yccur, the damage
will not bo serious."
Another cause for encouragement Is
tho tact that although a shipment ot In
fected cattle reached Spokane, "Wash.,
some days ngo, no now cases have since
been reported from that State. It has
not been considered necessary to quaran
tine Washington.
At present the States most seriously
ntft.rtt.il mn niilo. Illinois. Indiana and
Pennsylvania. These nre all feeding
States, In which farmers make n practice
of buying cnttlo and swine nnd finishing
them for tho market. Outside of this
belt, tho three New Hnglnnd Stntes of
Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massa
chusetts nre perhaps the subject of tho
greatest concern.
The sltuntlon In New York, the depart
ment declares, seems to bo fairly well In
hand. Tho greatest Blngle loss has been
thnt of a dairy herd of ISD cattle which
was found infected in tho borough of
Queens oh Long Island. Tho entire herd
had to bo slaughtered. Tho Buffalo stock
yards have nlso been Infected, and some
cases linve been found In Uric County In
thn immediate lclnlty.
In Dcluwnre, also, the disease has been
confined to Wilmington, nnd In New Jcr-
(soy to Hudson County. A portion at least
of both theso States, It Is hoped, may be'
released from quarantine nt an early
date.
Iowa, "Wisconsin and Kentucky, It a
believed, will soon bo free from quaran
tine. Although tho spread of tho disease
Bcems to havo been In a great mensuro
checked, It Is believed It will tako At
least six months to stamp out all traces
of tho Infection.

of college spirit it would give the girls
an Insight Into social service work, which
many plan to take up as a life work."
