FORTY-FOURTH TEAJEL TOO MUCH ON HMD, Mr. Christy's Time is So Much Occupied That He Says He Can't Formulate CHARGES VERBALLY IVIADE Against the Management of the Penitentiary at Biverside. NO INVESTIGATION KOW PBOBABLE. The Pittsburg Lawyer Write Chairman Deardea a Letter Which Be Doesn't Want Published He Thinks the Officers of the Institution Have Been Taught a Lesson The Bill Making nn Appropria tion for the Prison JCot Likely to Meet With Opposition Statements Blade by the Legal Gentleman In Ills Own Behalf. Apparently no charges will be preferred against the management of the "Western Penitentiary, and consequently there will be no investigation of its affairs by the Legislature. Mr. Dearden has received a letter from B. C. Christy, Esq., of Pitts burg, who states that he is too busy to give the matter his attention now. The bill making an appropriation for the peniten tiary passed second reading in the House without opposition. tritOM A STAFF COERESrOKDENT.l Habbisbubg, March 26. Appropria tion bills on second reading were the order this afternoon, and Mr. Graham called up the "Western Penitentiary Appropriation bill, providing funds for building pur poses. Chairman Dearden had received in formation from Pittsburg, and arose im mediately. He referred to the prominence that had been given by the Pittsburg papers to the recent investigation, and the interest thereby aroused all over the State, as justifying, in connection with the other matters that had been brought to his atten tion, the stand he had taken on the appro priation. After the debate of last Tuesday, Mr. Dearden said he had expected to immedi ately hear something definite from Pitts burg, but not hearing, had telegraphed on March 21 to Hon. B. C. Christy, of Pitts burg, reminding him of his promise to formulate charges, and asking did he in tend to fulfill it. The same day be received An Answer From Mr. Christy, saying he would write fully the next day, and that he would keep his promise. On returning from Philadelphia yesterday, Mr. Dearden found waiting for him the following letter: PrrrsBUBO, March 23. Eon. Bobert Dearden: Sib When I returned from Harrisburg I found there had been a death of a near rela tive, and I had to go away, so that my atten tion was taken from the matter for that week. Since that time l have been In License Court, and will be there for at least four weeks yit. A party who can give the most valuable information about affairs has been called away on business, and I cannot tell when he will re turn. Under the circumstances I believe it to be best not to take any steps at present, as it is simply impossible for me to give it any at tention, and I would not like to stir the matter up and get left in the end. If the party spoken of above returns soon, I will then write you again. I see the bill has passed the House, and perhaps the end has been accomplished, to wit to make the management be a little more careful in the future. When 1 answered your telegram I thongbt I could get a party to give the matter some attention, but in this failed. tVith best wishes, I am, yours truly, B. C. Cheistt. "Now then," said Mr. Dearden, "I feel justified in all X have done. I undertake to aver afresh that Mr. Christy, in this House, having come here especially for the purpose, charged to me against the Western Penitentiary management, crnelty, misman agement and corruption. I asked him to specify these matters in detail, in writing, and to ask for an investigation. He promised to do so, and The Outcome of His Promises is now before the House. I realize the -delicacy, of course, of bringing up this, matter, but do so injustice to myself and as a measure of fair play and common justice to those who are perhaps wrongfully ac cused." Mr. Dearden withdrew his opposition to the passage of the bill because of these statements, and left the whole matter in the hands of the House, to investigate or not, as deemed best. Mr. Christy's reference to the bill having passed was an error on his part growing out of the publication of the passage of the salary bill for the peniten tiary. Captain Clay, of the Appropriations Com mittee, confirmed Chairman Dearden's statement concerning the purpose of llr. Christy's visit, and the charges made by him. " He had been present when Mr. Christy had made his assertions. The House, without lnrther debate and without a dissenting vote, passed the bill on second reading. It is not likely there will be an opposition to the bill on third reading, and the Western Penitentiary will get its appropriation of $70,000 for building pur poses. Simpson. SOT A PUBLIC PEOSECUTOE. Latryer Christy Writes a Letter That He Did Not Want Published. B. C. Christy, Esq., was seen last night in regard to the letter, and said: "I received a telegram, from Chairman Dearden, of the Legislative Appropriation Com mittee, asking me about charges against the management of the "Western Penitentiary. I am not a public prosecutor, and do not want to appear in that light, I replied to Mr. Dearden, but no reference was made to the penitentiary. If he has made my letter to him public I consider his action a breach of confidence. I am too busy with the License Court, and my private business to engage in a penitentiary investigation. Warden Wright is a personal friend of mine and I do .not believe him guilty of 'any crookedness. I haveheard of serious charges against the management of the institution, but it is merely hearsay, and I decline to prosecute. If the Legislature wants to in vestigate they have the privilege of doing so, but I will not interfere in any way. One of the persons who makes the charge of mismanagement is absent from the city at present." Mr. Christy declined to talk any further on the subject, and the nature of the charges that may necessitate an investiga tion by the Legislature could not be learned. A TRIPLE TEAGEDY. A Business Man of Gnelpb, Onfc, Fatally Shoots His Wife and Two Daugh- tcrs He is Caught at Toron- to, Cool and Uncon cerned. rSFXCMX. TXXZGRAM TO TOT DISPATCH, t Guelph, OST., March 26. The flourish ing town or Guelph was to-day the scene of one of the most horrible tragedies that has ever been recorded in Canada. There was great astonishment when it became known that W. H. Harvey, bookkeeper for J. "W. Lyon, a leading merchant, had been arrest ed for embezzlement. Harvey was a well known citizen, a superintendent of the Episcopal Sabbath School and highly re spected. He was charged with embezzling 540,000, but was at once bailed out. Harvey was the father of an interesting family, and a terrible sensation was caused vhen it be came known that the sequel of the arrest was a blood-thirsty murder, of which Harvey was the principal and the members ot the family, the victims. Shortly after beinsr bailed out Harvey proceeded to John Bond & Co.'s ammuni tion establishment and asked for a revolver. As he was well known no hesitation was felt in selling him one. Harvey, who acted in a perfectly rational manner, chose a 32-caliber, double action, silver-plated Smith & Wesson revolver, stating that it was for a young man whom Lyon had em ployed to go to Mexico, and that it was to be charged to Lyon. After purchasing the revolver he quickly left the store. "When the news of the charge against him reached the proprietors they at once notified the po lice of the revolver incident. This afternoon the Chief of Police pro ceeded to Harvey's residence on Woolwich street. The house was locked np and an entrance had to be forced. All was silent as the crave. An examination of the house was instituted and a horrible discovery was made. Harvey's fairhaired daughter of 13 was found in her room, dead, with her head in a pool of blood. In another apartment his eldest daughter was also discovered. Life was extinct. Both had been shot. The body of Mrs. Harvey was found in the kitchen. She also had been murdered. A press dispatch from Toronto says: Har vey, who murdered his wife and two daugh ters this morning, was arrested here Wis evening by Detective Black. He was standing unconcernedly at the corner of King and Yonge streets, smoking a cigar, when arrested.. On his person was found a new five-chambered revolver, with three empty chambers which had been recently discharged, and two chambers still loaded. He is apparently insane. ODDEST 0BITUABT ON EECOED.

Perhaps the oddest obituary ever written was that written by Husselton Compton, who died here Thursday, at the age of 101 years. It was dictated by himself on his 96th birth day, and Mrs. Mary "Walcott penned the words. Here it is as it will stand on his monument: Husselton Compton lived to a very great age, and when he died no one could point a finger at him and say that man did not try to be honest: He did try to be honest. He was honest, if his deeds looked to people what his intentions looked to his own mind, and no man can do better than that. He suffered many wronjrs, owing to the confounded civil war and other things, but though be was robbed and mal treated by maltreating someone else, he wonld have scorned such low-lived, thievish tricks. He marriea a good woman and raised a large family of girls and boys; a good provider for them as ell as for the grandchildren that came after them. He taught all what was right, just as his parents did him and his broth ers and sisters, and if any of them should ever vote the Abolition ticket he wouldn't be to blame. Husselton Compton was born of an honorable marriage. May 17S8, and died (put In the date when the time comes). Missouri, Kentucky and far west papers please make note of my death, that is such papers as are Democratic A man's name is his own, and he is not bound to have it in Abolition papers if he don t want to. Mr. Compton had two sons who served in Quantrell's band, and the outrages to which he was subjected by Federal soldiers embit tered his life. A WILL IN A ST0EI BOOK.

George J. Moser, M. D. This is not a very elaborate will, and was apparently written by Dr. Moser, but it was a better legal document than a more formal affair which Beal Estate Agent Geinselmann had Mr. JRoth sign on the next day, shortly before he died. The purport of both were the same,- but Mr. Geinselmann, after the testator signed, went into another room and got witnesses to sign. The document was not formally declared to be a will, while the lead pencil writing was. So the little Ger man story book is awaiting the day of pro- Date. ONE CONTEST SETTLED.

The Bloody End ofa West Virginia Family Feud An Astonished and Terri fied Sunday School A Sceno of Wild Confusion. ISTXCIAI. TSLEGIULU TO THXDISFATCM Uniontown, March 20. About two years ago a feud arose between Dolph Sis lerand John Dietrich, well-to-do farmers living near Stewarts ton, in West Virginia, over the trespasses of Sisler's hogs. The feud extended to their families and connec tions. Pile was added to the feud not long ago by the Sislers preferring a charge of illegal liquor selling against Dietrich, who owns a distillery, but which failed to be established, and Dietrich was acquitted. Last Sunday Allan andAlonzoSisler and George and Flora Dietrich, all nearly grown, attended the Baptist Sunday school at Stewartston. Soon the bad blood showed its elf and the congregation were astonished to see the youths of each family brandishing revolvers at each other and starting into a fight. A scene of wild confusion arose, women and children screaming and frantic, and the few men present could not quell the disturbance. They soon had the church to themselves and in the desperate fight that ensued the Dietrich family were badly used up, George's head being beaten with a re volver and the other being severely hurt Assistance arriving, the gang was put to flight, the Sisler boys fleeing to Union town yesterday, and are; now thought to be secreted at one of the numerous coke works in this region. Blood bespattered the walls and ceiling of the church, showing the des perate nature of the contest. Great excite ment prevails in the neighborhood over the outbreak and the end of the trouble has not been seen. THE MISTAKE OP A MOB. It Nearly Lynches a Chinaman for Slaugh tering a Pig. rSFECIAI.

Using his club as a lever he broke the lock and got into the house. The mob stayed in the street. Xee was pulled out from under the wash tub, jabbering pigeon English. He was taken to the Grove street police station, fol lowed by the constantly increasing mob. The mob blocked the street in front of the station. Lee trembled like a leaf in front of the sergeant's desk. He explained that he had killed a pig and buried its entrails, and he didn't know why the people wanted to kill him. Finally a patrolman succeed ed in explaining to the leaders of the mob j si, what Lee had done. The crowd melted awaj, and in half an hour it was safe for Lee to go home. A HOEEIBLU WABNING.

There has been a good deal -of excitement in this community during the past few days, grow ing out of a horrible and business-like "White Cap" warning received by two well known citizens of the town. A week ago last Friday Fred Hartlieb, proprietor of the Stone House Hotel, received a box by express which had been shipped from some way station on the Baltimore and Ohio road, between Wheeling and Baltimore. Hartlieb opened the box and was paralyzed at its contents. There was a horrible odor of decayed human flesh. Inside was a pair of human ears, two big toes, the second finger ofa man and a piece of human cuti cle, about four inches square, on which was scrawled a warning to leave the place at once. Hartlieb said nothing to his friends, but he and his wife were about frightened to death, and since then, up to last Satur day, he has been standing guard over his premises with a rifle, while his wife slept. Matters drifted along until Saturday night, when a bundle of hickory switches were hung on the Hartlieb doorknob, and a paper posted up again warning him to leave. THE FAiETTE BOBBERS.

Lewis Hunter was in Uniontown Saturday, and late at night started for his home at "White Bock. When beyond Hoydentown, a mountain hamlet, he turned into a bridle path through the forest to shorten his route, and had only proceeded a short distance when three men sprang out of the bushes, grasped his horse on each side and demanded his money. Mr. Hunter fought, dug his knees into the horse, and the spirited animal sprang off and started on a dead run through the forest. The highwaymen shot half a dozen rounds alter him, but did not hit him owing to the darkness. Hunter claims to know one of his assailants, but has not yet made any information. It is evident others are profit ing by the terror inspired by the McClel landtown band, and, under cover of their fame, are operating, hoping the blame may attach to the other outlaws.

He Cheerfully Acknowledges That He is EesponsiMe for the ' DEATH OP BOME OP HIS YICT1MB, Bat Eefases t Father Borne of the Bloody Crimes laid at His Door. General Sowders, the Kentucky outlaw, has been safely lodged in the only brick jail in the region of his capture. A Dispatch correspondent obtained an extensive inter view with the individual who has killed eight men. He talked pleasantly, and justified his actions by saying he never sbot anybody who did not want to shoot him. tSrECIAI, TELEGRAM TO THX DISPATCH. COBBIN, Ky,, March 26. There was con siderable excitement here, when Sheriff Hargus, of Pineville, and two deputies stopped off between trains on their way to Stanford, Ky., where they went to place General Sowders in the brick jail, all the. jails in this section being simple frame structures. Albert Turner, the leader of the arresting party, and whose father Sowders is accused of killing, was one of the depu ties, but, notwithstanding their relations, Turner, a little fellowwith white hair and blonde fuzz on his face, was as friendly to Sowders as if they were fresh acquaintances. The people here carry whisky with them in square bottles labeled "bitters," and Turner's bottle, likewise his tobacco, fre quently found its way to Sowders' mouth. It was a rare sightvto see a prisoner, partic ularly one who has the reputation of having killed eight men, being taken to jail un- handcuffed. The Sheriff had handcuffs with him, but they rested unmolested in the capacious pockets of his stout trousers, and to all appearances Sowders was as free as anybody. The Sheriffs, however, were walking arsenals, and to a person, unused to such sights the careless display of their murderous-looking Colt revolvers started shivers up and down his backbone. JUST A SQ.TJIEBEL HUNT The Dispatch correspondent was intro duced to Sheriff Hargus, and before learning that Sowders was in the party, asked, that official where he was going. The six-footer, a rather handsome fellow, well-dressed and easy-mannered, replied nli ltiet ffninf v Oh. just going on a little squirrel hunt.' Afterward, however, he told that he was taking Sowders to the Stanford jail, and asked ihe prisoner 'if he wanted to have a talk with a reporter. General Sowders the "General" is not a title; that is his given name a tall, blonde man, with a careless air, said it din't make any difference to him, and the circumstances connected with his arrest were mentioned. "They've been tryin' to get me for over a year," said Sowders, "but I've managed to keep out ot their way. Sometimes I had tolerably hard times, I can tell tell you. sleeps only glippin' in in the mountains, and home now and then between days. You see,both the Tennessee authorities and those. oi this otate were -aiicr "nrcr an,u a irau va .wfltchrWlrTlides." Ofiee T had jnst left home when a dozen men surrounded the house. I 'was 'within sight of 'em all the time, bnt I knew the mountains better than they did. A CLOSE SHAVE. "I've had 'em ride right by me, so close I could hear 'em talk. I didn't need to have been arrested when I was. I had my pistol ready, and I don't doubt but I could have fought my way out; but you see I wa3 stop pin' at Mr. Birch's,and his sick wife and two childen were there, and some ot them would have been sure to be killed if we had got to shootin", so I just give up when they promised they wouldn't take no advantage of my being disarmed." "Are these stories, that you have killed eight men, true?" "No. j.diunt Kin iiee xurner, tnougn that's what I'm arrested -for. I don't know who killed him. "We had had a quarrel, and I don't say but I would have killed him, or him me, whichever had got the drop; but I didn't know he was in Pineville the night he was shot" "It is said you killed your wife's brother. Is that so?" "Yes, I shot him; but I had to. He shot at me and threatened to kill me, so I thought I'd rather kill him than be killed." "You said awhile ago that you are wanted in Tennessee. "What are you wanted there tor?" "I got out of jail at Tazewell once. They hadn't no right to arrest me, and so when I got a chance to get out, I got." "Does this Andrew Johnson, who lives in Pineville, and who has killed five or six men, belong to your set?" ONE DENIAIi. "No, sir. Andy Johnson don't belong to no set as I know of. He's got a bad reputa tion, and there's lots of people as would like to get the drop on him, but he's a good fellow. He hain't killed nobody; he didn't have to, and he won't. He don't owe no one, and he's a nice man every way. "Why, he's been shot several times. He is blind in one eye now as a result of a shoofln by one of the men he afterward killed. But your won't find a kinder-hearted man or a squarer one in Pineville." "Sheriff Hargus tells me you are a pretty good fellow yourself; and that he don't be lieve you ever shot anybody without pro vocation." "And he's right about that too. I don't say I hain't shot several men, but I never pointed a gun at a man as I didn't know would drop me first time he got a chance. I knowed they waslookin' for me. I don't owe no man anything and there ain't no body that can say I ever harmed them in any way'withont they first done me some meanness." "General, can you tell me anything about any of the-riots of several years ago when six or seven people were killed?" . "I don't know anything about them only by hearsay. A couple of years ago there was a number of people killed up a meet'in house on Yellow creek, that's about 12 miles from Pineville. Meetin' was bein' held when some men, I expect they were about half drunk, shot through the windows. Of course there was more or less excitement, and a regular fight followed, so they say. A FIGHT AT CHUECir. "The people in the church, bein' the biggest number, got the best ot it, so far as whippin' was concerned, fur I guess five or six ot 'em were killed, while only one of the attackers got hurt I guess that got in the papers; but there's been a lot of trouble like that, only not always so bad, that never got in the papers." "It will go hard with you to be shut up inside a brick jail after being in the open air so much, won't it?" "I don't think I'll have to stay there long. I will trvto get a hearin' right soon, and don't believe they can hold me for kill ing Lee Turner. Some of my enemies start ed that story. There's always folks that don't like men who stand up for their rights, and some of them started the report that I shot Lee Turner", but I didn't. Some of them, too, shot .holes through the win dows of my father's house, and bothered his 'Stock and crops so he had to sell out and move to Knox county. I s'pose some folks might say he was a bad man, but I'll leave it to Sheriff Hargus or any other man whose word's good, if my father wasn't as good a man as there Vas in the county. He was a 'Squire, too." TAKEN TO JAIL. "Well, General, here's our train; I guess we had better get aboard," said the Sheriff, and the uncouth and rough looking, though withal genial, party boarded the Louisville and Nashville train for Stanford. - Sowders really bears a fair reputation, though at times, when under the influence of drink, he committed some violences. A story is told of his going into an eating house along the line ofa new railroad in the Cumberland Valley not long ago, and or dering some eggs. A man named McCabe, working under Contractor John Michals, formerly of Bergln, Ky,, now of Pineville, was in the place. Turning to McCabe, Sow ders said: 'My friend, come and eat some eggs with me." McCabe had a drink or two, and for a moment forgot he. was addressing General Sowders, soke said": "You ask me like a gentleman, andXmay eat some." "I guess you had befter eat these eggs, and eat all of 'em, too," said the General, as he leveled one of his formidable revolvers at McCabe. McCabe caught a glimpse at the ugly gun, and, trembling in every limb, ap proached the counter with the remark: "I guess I am egg hungry after all." NONE HILLED FOE 36 HOTJBS. Advices from Pineville say hostilities have ceased at least for a time between the warring Turner and Sowder factions in the Yellow Creek neighborhood, and at present there are no indications of a renewal. No one has been killed for at least 36 hours and interest in the feud is flagging. The killing of James Burch unmanned other leaders of the Sowder crowd and so far as that faction is concerned the war is at an end unless the Turners start it again. Alvin Turner's death at the hands of Bnrch deprived the followers of that young hot spur of their chief source of revenue and the people of Bell county seem at present to tnins that as soon as tne supply ot am munition now in the hands of the Turners has been burned the end will have been reached. Jeff Kin?, who alone survived the last affray, -hasTieen a fugitive from his former friends and foes alike, evidence having been produced to the effect that he robbed the dead body of his fallen leader, as well as that of Burch. ONE MOEE CAPTUBED. He was captured this afternoon on the Northern slope of Pine mountain, seven miles south of Pineville, by Deputy Sheriff Frank Moss and Thompson, the Marshal of Pineville, assisted by John and Mark Tur ner, sons of Ben Turner. They struck his trail on Clear creek, on the north side of the mountain, and followed it across through Bear Wallow Gap. The pursuing party there learned that they were close on him, and left their horses and took to the foothills, and soon "discovered him slipping along a rocky ledge. Marshal Thompson called to him to surrender, and he drew his gun as if to offer fight. The Marshal and Sheriff both fired at him, and he fell, and they thought they had struck him, but he sprang up and ran to a tree. He then waved his hand in token of sur render, and they commanded him to unlim ber his gun and throw it away, which he did. They then took charge of him and brought him to Pineville and lodged him in jail. Harvey Turner is still in jail at Tazewell, and so far as leaders are con cerned the Turners seem to be as badly off as the Sowders. THE BAN OF BANDITS. A Murder Eald to Have Been Committed by a Band of Italian Criminals. tEPKCIAL TELICEAM TO TUB DISFATCBJ New Yobk, March 26. The trial of Vin cenzo Quartararo, for the murder of Anto nio Flaccomio, under an electric light in front of Cooper Union, on the night of Oc tober 14 last, was begun before Becorder Smyth to-day. The crime was attributed at the time of its commission to the Mafia So ciety of Italian bandits, of which there are traces in New York. Carlo Quartararo, the prisoner's brother, jointly indicted with him, has never been captured. It is be lieved that he did the actual stabbing, and that he escaped to Italy. Assistant District Attorney Goff said he doesn't expect to convict the prisoner of murder, and thai the witnesses for the pros ecution deny that they ever heard of the Mafia. Such denials are common, but an Italian will testify In this case that his death was ordered by the Mafia for .giving information to the Government concerning an Italian criminal who came to this coun try. This witness bears a large scar on his cheek as a memento of his escape. Eleven jurors were obtained to-day. The case will go on to-day. THE JEBDITS IN CANADA.

The Murderer Kills Himseir ia Jail, and Bis Body is Stolen From the Grate. A story of a cruel, cold-blooded murder is recalled by the death ofa young girl named Mabel McGregor, of Ogle county, Illinois. Six years ago her father was shot dead by a farm hand named Swartzell, and at the same time Mabel received the wound which eventually caused her death. The mur derer, after a narrow escape from lynching, committed suicide in jail. His body was removed from the Potter's field by grave robbers. tSFECIAL TELIOEAMTO TUX DISPATCH.! Chicago, March 26. Young Mabel Mc Gregor was buried to-day. She died yester day from the effects of a bullet that was lodged in her brain six years ago when the snow lay deep on the ground in Ogle county, this Sjate. At that time a tele phone message to the Sheriff's office at Ore gon one morning conveyed the, information that old Farmer McGregor, who lived in a log house in a lonely district of the county, had been murdered. Officers and neighbors went to the place and found the old man in bed with six bullets in his body. He was dead. Up stairs the searchers found pretty 14-year-old Mable McGregor with a bullet in her head. She appeared to beat the point of death, but careful nursing and a remarkable vitality spared her life for a time. Normal Swartzell worked for the Mc Gregors. He was a slender fellow about 30 years old. He became passionately fond of little Mabel. He followed her about the farm and to her school, and one night the girl saw his face against the window of her room. "Old man McGregor was annoyed at the attentions Swartzell paid to his daugh ter. He reprimanded the fellow, but this having no effect, the servant was discharged. On the Saturday night before the murder Swartzell went to Bockford to a dance. He was accompanied by several friends. fathes and dauohtee mtjbdebed. About 10 o'clock that night Swartzell left the ballroom, and after taking several drinks of whisky, started through the deep snow to old man McGregor's farm house. He covered the distance in three hours. When the maddened lover reached the house he rapped boldly at the door. Old man McGregor refused to admit the fellow. Then Swartzell burst the door open with his knee and shot at the aged farmer until his revolver was empty. Little Mabel, who had been awakened by the rapid firing, fled down the stairs to the room where her father lay. She met Swartzell. nt tne door, -tie snot her in .the head, and, supposing her to be dead, lied from the house. 'There were no lights In the room a where, 'the shooting occurred. Mabel "recognized her jmurderer by the flashes from his Revolver. "When she re gained consciousness the little girl told the officers that Swartzell had done the shooting. Two weeks later, after one of the most fa mous man-hunts in the history of crime in the West, the murderer was caught in St. Louis, while On his way to the Indian Ter ritory. He narrowly escaped being lynched in Oregon. Then he fell ill. Doctors tried to save him from the gallows. He cheated the rope and the law. His death was a mys tery until the post mortem examination re vealed the fact that the murderer had delib erately committed suicide. An old pipe had been allowed him in his cell, and he had slowly poisoned himself with the nico tine from its bowl. He did not rest in death. no best in the geave. His post mortem career was as sensational as his last days on earth. His relatives never accepted his body. He was buried in the potter's field. Ten. days later it was discovered that grave robbers had emptied the grave in which he was bnried. Local physicians were suspected. Then Chicago medical students were shadowed as the body snatchers. Five weeks later a naked, headless body was cast on the shore of Bock river, a few miles below Oregon. A coroner's jury was about to return a ver dict of "death of an unknown man, by un known means," when the undertaker who had probed Swartzell, to inject fluids while the body lay in the jail, testified that the remains were those of Swartzell. What was left of the outlaw was carried back and a second time buried in the same box. Little Mabel McGregor lingered in in tense agony until yesterday. The bullet had lodged in her brain, and she found no release from her suffering until the surgeons of the Bush Medical College gave her an anasthetic preparatory to performing a heroic operation to recover the missUes. She never awakened. FIYE CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD. ABolt In Each Parly In St. Louis Results In a Plethora of Tickets. (SPECIAL TELEOKAM TO TUX DISPATCH.! St. Louis, March 26.

IT'S SPLEK1 MEDIUftfJ011 FT. PITT FOUNDBY BUBNED One Entire Side of tho Quadrangle De stroyed This Morning) Entailing a Loss of at Least 8100,000 The Insurance and Other Inci dents Several Suspi cions Characters Arrested. About 2 o'clock this morning an alarm was turned in from box 46, located at the corner of Thirteenth and Penn, and almost simultaneously the sky in that direction be came" red with flame. The pattern shop of the Fort Pitt foundry, owned by Mcintosh, Hemphill & Co., was on fire, and on fire in a manner that promised its speedy extermination, together with adjoining buildings. In 20 min utes the flames were shooting forth from every window of the pattern shop, and the heat was so intense that it could hardly be borne at a distance of 100 feet. The first alarm was speedi ly followed by others, as soon as the nature of the conflagration became apparent, and the fire department was called in from every quarter of the city. HOW THE FIEE STABTED. M. J. Bakey, the night watchman em ployed by the firm, was seen by a Dispatch reporter, and in response to questions, said: ""How do you think the fire originated?" asked the reporter. "I suppose that the only way it could have started was from the cupola. That was the only fire in the building that I know of. The foundry Is operated in the day time, but not at night, and I was the only person on the premises. "I made my rounds at 1 o'clock, and at that hour there was no sign of any fire. Short ly before 2 o'clock I saw a light in the pattern shop, and immediately started to pull the alarm. Bnt I dis covered that my key would not work, and had to run for a policeman. I finally found one, and he sent in the alarm. It seemed to me that the Fire Department was a long while getting here. FOUB SUSPECTS ABBESTED. This morning at 2:30 o'clock Officer Ed Cross arrested three suspicious characters on Market street. When taken to the Central station they gave their names as George Merriman, Lew "Walters and John Keylor, and said they worked in Macbeth's glasshouse, on the Sonthside. Shortly after the same officer brought in a man who gave his name as Curtis Snyder. He had not been able to give account of himself to the officer. Whether any ot these men had anything to do with the great fire's origin can, as yet, be only a matter of con jecture. VALUE OF TnE BUILDINGS. According to the statement of a gentleman employed in the office of the foundry, the entire build ings were ' insured for about 5110,000, the amount being placed in sums varying from $5,000 to 915,000 with local agencies. Among the companies are the Phoenix, Frank lin and Western Pennsylvania The value of the building in which the fire was started is estimated at about $40,000. The value of the patterns, machinery and other material destroyed could not be esti- tnfttid nffliftnd. hnt this 1or nnnlri nnt fail I to be very heavy. THE VALUES iTATTEBNS SAVED. At 3 o'clock this morning the fire was under control; but it required hard work on the part of the firemen to save the large three-story building that was used as a storeroom. This building contained sev eral hundred thousand dollars' worth of patterns. A wall fell in shortly before 3 o'clock, and one of the firemen, Melvin Harvey, of the Seventh Avenue Company, was struck by a piece of timber and seriously hurt.

Say. There have been some biting judicial ut terances in the License Court, at one time and another, in addressing men who con- fessed, after dodging, that they had broken the laws. Of all these utterances yester day's closing one was most impressive. It' was the climax in a melodramatic-situation. A boy's drink and insanity, worse than death, were laid by His Honor at the door of the saloon, in a manner to be remem bered. There were 107 applicants from the Sonthside heard yesterday. It beats the record. The Lotus Club and Mr. Bhu landt were scored severely by His Honor. It was a long, hard day, One hundred and seven applications were heard. Only 80 have gone through on average big days. "When the court adjourned everybody was tired. The number of spectators was un usually large and noisy. The applications were all from the Sonthside. The quantity of beer which is consumed on the Sonthside is surprising. Almost every applicant ad mitted he had purchased beer in some way or other during the year. Many have applied; but it is feared few will have been chosen when roll call comes next May. Some will have fallen by the wayside, and the result will be surprising. His Honor proposes to cut down the nunv. -ber of saloons on the Sonthside. The silence of the "W. C. T. U. and the Law and Order Society regarding that sec tion is surprising.
