ESS
MAKER MORTIFIED.
Tlie Ex-Governor Expresses Sorrow
at the Way He Was Imposed On,
AS HE SATS HE WAS BT WOOD.
in Entire Session Given to Ilearin; the late
Candidate's Story.
THE FOEGEEI GITEX TO EALSTEAD,
Who Sail Be Ctrnld Easily Use the Paper Ajlinst
Campbell Alone.
Ex-Governor Foraker was the only wit
ness examined bv the Congressional Inves
ticatins Committee yesterday in the ballot
box forgery business. He told the lull story
of his share in the affair. He gave the
forged document to Editor Halstead, who
said he would use the caper only against
Campbell and not against the Republicans
whose names were attached.
"Washington, January 17. Ex-Governor
Poraker this morning continncd his tes
timony before the House Committee investi
gating the ballot box forgery. He said that
after parleying with "Wood he got a letter
from him on August 17 saying that Croslcy
(who had the contract) was absent; that
Mayor Mosby was favorably inclined tow
ard his application forthe position of Smoke
Inspector; that a line from him (witness)
would help the application, and that as soon
as the Smoke Inspector matter was attended
to he (Wood) would so to Washington and
secure such information as might be desired
in the other matter. Witness replied on the
19th that ne (Wood) would get the letter of
recommendation irom him, as he had prom
ised, when he got the information Wood had
promised, and not before.
On the 21st witness got a note from Wood
saying he had valuable papers and wanted
to see him for 15 minute. Witness saw
Wood, who produced a letter signed 'W.
M. Langdon," dated Detroit, August .ad
dressed to Wood, which seemed to confirm
Wood's previous story, that an effort was
being made to secure uovernor Alger s sig
nature to a new contract. Wood also gave
him three papers he called State' contracts,
which witness did not have now. They had
no relevancy to what witness was interested
in, and he made no use of them.
THE GUN COXTBACT.
With respect to the gun contract, Wood
produced a letter dated "United States
Patent Office, August 6, 1887, and signed by
Commissioner Hall, addressed to him and
saying that Lieutenant William H. Bell
had secured a patent for an improvement in
gun carriages-and copies of the specification
would be furnished upon application.
Another letter, signed "J. E. C," said that
lieutenant and Captain Bell were the same
person, and adds that Peter would help in
the Dodsworth case. Wood said that Colo
nel T. C. Campbell and Governor Campbell
Lad been buving and getting control of a
number ol inventions relating to ordnance.
"That is what he said," remarked the
witness. "I don't believe anything any
more." Continuing, Wood said these
were a part only of a number of papers
he had that had been submitted for investi
gation. Witness made no use ot them, and
after looking them over told Wood they did
not include the papers he wanted (relating
to the ballot box matter). Wood said they
were in Washington. Witness understood,
perhaps at a later date, that John K. Mc
Lean had them. Wood promised to write
lor them, saying that Crosley had them no
longer.
September 2 witness got a letter from
Wood, dated Cincinnati, September!, stat
ing that the old contract was at Baltimore,
and Wood was to meet a party there. He
(Wood) wanted a letter of introduction to
President Harrison. Wood had erroneously
supposed that witness wanted the new con
tract up to this time.
KNOWS HIM BETTEE 1TOW.
Witness gave Wood the letter of intro
duction (which was real) and wrote Wood
that he expected him with the'letter not
later than Thursday. Tbe letter commended
Wood as an old soldier and an inventor of
merit; witness did not know as much of him
then as he did now. September 0 Wood
telegraphed witness from Cincinnati, asking
where he could see him. Witness was im
patient, and replied that he could see him
at the appointed place. Meanwhile be got a
letter from Wood, sent from Washington,
dated September 8, saying he had the docu
ment with the valuable names; that J. B.
M. was out of the city; that there were three
papers in all, and that be inclosed a letter
lrom Ed Hall. The inclosure was dated
Cincinnati, September 4, and addressed to
Wood at Washington. The writer told
Wood not to hesitate about getting the facts
and staying with Poraker during the cam
paign. Witness never had any communi
cation with Hall until after the election.
Witness telegraphed Wood to come to
Columbus that night or the next moraine.
Wood replied that he would mail the paper
to witness, that the telegram was too late.
Witness called particular attention to
these letters, for it would appear from an
other witness that the paper was not forged
until the next day (September 9) after
Wood had written that he had the paper.
Previous to that, on September 7, witness
had a conversation with Mayor Mosby, on
the train, about Wood's application lor the
place of Smoke Inspector, and succeeded in
having action deferred for a few days.
"WOOD IN COLUMBUS.
Witness had notified Wood to be at Co
lumbus September 11, to attend to it Sep
temDer ll Wood came to Columbus and
brought the forged papers (exhibit A).
Witness had accidentally misstated this
date before. His secretary, Mr. Kurz, was
present, ana Knew witness was expecting the
papers. The first thing witness found that he
did not expect to see was the name of Sena
tor Sherman. He had understood that the
paper bore the names of Messrs. Butter
worth, McKinley and McPherson. Wood
said that he was surprised to see it, as the
name was not on the paper when -he first
saw it. He (Wood) had expected to find it
on the second contract, however.
Witness had never seen Governor Camp
bell's signature, and got Mr. Kurtz to pro
cure a copy of a biographical sketch, and
there noticed that Mr. Campbell signed his
name "James E. Campbell," whereas it was
signed "J. E. Campbell" to the paper. Ma
jor McKinley's name looked like a very
good a genuine signature, and witness
would have sworn to it. He did not think
McKinley would question it if signed to s ny
honorable connection. Major Butterworth
did not sign bis name usually as it was
signed to the paper. The "B" ended on the
wrong side, but the signature was otherwise
good. Coming to Senator Sherman's name
Wood suggested that it might have been
signed with a stamp, and witness noticed a
peculiarity of the stroke under the "S."
Wood said he cot the paper at Washington
from Walter Wellman, private secretary to
John B. McLean, during the latter's ab
sence. Wood applied to Wellman for it,
and Wellman telegraphed the request to
Mr. McLean, at Saratoga, and he replied:
"Xet Wood have what he wants." There
upon Wood got the paper, and made tracks
with it for Cincinnati. That was his story.
FOBAKEB ilOETIFED.
The witness said he accepted the paper
without question as to its genuineness. It
led to all the mortification he had experi
enced about this whole matter. As any
honorable man would, he felt mortified
that he had been imposed upon by that pa
per, which, in the light of subsequent
events, it appeared should not have de
ceived him but the preliminary statements
had prepared his mind lor it.
Continuing, witness read a copy of his
letter to Mayor Mosby, recommending
Wood, and.also a letter from Wood, saying
that he had been received tindlr. but that
Ed Henderson had been seeking the ap
pointment of another man. When witness
got back to his office, on the 13th of Sep
tember, he examined letters bearing tbe sig
natures of Messrs. Sherman, Butterworth
and McKinley. He also sent for John W.
Clements and showed him Governor Camp
bell's signature to the paper. Clements
said that he usuallv signed "James E.
Campbell," but thought the signature was
genuine. Witness also compared the ini
tials on the gun contract paper furnished
by Wood, with the signature, and observed
that the "C" was in the signature to the
paper, and that satisfied him as to that
He now saw.he was more easily satisfied
than be should have been, but he had no
doubt at that time.
HALSTEAD GETS THE PAPER.
The next day the witness went to Cincin
nati. He put the paper in his pocket to
show to a representative of a Cincinnati
newspaper. He met Mr. Halstead on the
cars and showed him tlio paper. The wit
ness told Mr, Halstead that he did not know
how to make use of it In answer to a ques
tion Irom Mr. Wilson, the witness said that
he had made no allusion to the paper in any
of his speeches. Mr. Halstead commented
on the paper, saying that it could be used.
The Governor insisted that it might throw
his party into confusion. Mr. Halstead said
that he thought that he canld use it so far as
Mr. Campbell was concerned. He thought
it his duty to do so. It would be a derelic
tion of duty to allow Mr. Campbell to be
elected if he were connected with the ballot
box contract As a journalist, Mr. Halstead
said he would be obliged to make use of it
Shortlv after this the Governor delivered
a speech in which he spoke of the ballot box
bill, stating that it required the Attorney
General to purchase, within SO days alter
the passage of the bill, a ballot box for
every election precinct in the United States
and that the Attorney General had no al
ternative but to purchase the Hall and
Wood Company's box. He did not mention
Mr. Campbell's name in this connection.
He saw Mr. Halstead again and the latter
asked for a photographic copy of the paper,
which the witness gave him. Mr. Halstead,
up to that time, had no definite plan for
using the paper.
WOOD'S BAD BECOBD.
The witness then told of his connection
with Wood. Mayor Mosby refused to ap
point the latter Smoke Inspector on account
of charges against him. The witness heard
that the principal charge was that he had
a bad police court record. He wrote to
Mayor Mosby asking him to hold the ap
pointment until he could get the promised
papers from Wood. There v as some contro
versy at this point about what is called the
"Dear Cousin" letter. Wood told Governor
Foraker that Colonel T. C. Campbell had
received a letter about the ballot box busi
ness from Governor Campbell, addressed
"Dear Cousin." Wood told the Governor
that the Campbells were cousins.
Governor Campbell's attorney in the
forgery case, Judge Harmon, told the com
mittee that the Campbells were not related,
and the address was shown to be "Dear
Colonel." General Grosvenor tried to find
this letter among his papers, but did not
succeed.
A number of letters from Wood to Gov
ernor Poraker, about the ballot box and gun
carriage contracts, were then produced, and
the committee, a few minutes before noon,
adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morn
ing. "
THE TAEEN1DJI MtJEDEB.
Work Being Done on tbe Case Expected to
Produce an Early Development.
Nothing new in the Tarentum murder
case was developed yesterday. The em
ployes of the Gilkinson Detective Agency
are out on the case, working early and late.
They expect a development within a very
lew days. They are perfectly satisfied with
the situation in which they have Alec Kil
lain. All work is being done under the di
rection of District Attorney Johnston. He
feels confident that the murderers will be
punished.
The men who now have charge of the case
do not believe that "Nosey" Allen had any
thing to do with the Tarentum affair. It 'is
likely that he and his partner, who are in
tbe Steubenville jail, will be brought to
this city and lodged in the county jail to
day or to-morrow. Chief of Police Dono
van has been looking after the matter of
requisition papers. He has secured tbe
proper papers from Governor Beaver, and is
now on his way to Columbus or already
there. The prisoners at Steubenville, who
gave their names when arrested as Kelly
and McKann, are to brought to this county
to be tried for the burglary of a jewelry
store at Braddock about a month ago.
THE WEOAG 3IAN.
to
Three Tnstln Street Men Endeavored
Scare Detective Fitzgerald.
Detective Fitzgerald had a little time with
three men on Tastin street yesterday morn
ing. He spoke to one, who was intoxicated,
and threatened him with arrest if he did not
behave himself and go home. Tbe two others
interfered, and declared their intention to
pulverize Mr. Fitzgerald if he attempted an
arrest The officer promptly arrested all
three, without difficulty, and sent them to
the Central station. The prisoners are Con
rad Huber, his son, Andrew Huber, and Bar
ney Hughes, all living at No. 77 Tustin
street This morning they will answer the
charge of interfering with an officer.
ACCUSED OP DESERTION.

IsrSCIAI. TELECJEAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Hew York, January 17. Special tele
grams to Bradstreet's report an irregular
movement of general merchandise. "Un
seasonable weather made itself felt most of
the week, and the epidemic of influenza had
jo appreciable effect at the larger .Eastern
ULies. There is no noteworthy improvement
in distribution of staples at Burlington,
Iowa, Kansas City, Detroit, Cincinnati and
Pittsburg, bnt demand has been stimulated
by colder weather at St Joseph, Omaha,
Chicago and St Paul. Groceries and boots
and shoes appear to be in moderate demand,
and mercantile collections generally are
slow.
Trade is depressed at San Francisco by
renewed rains. At New York, wool, drugs, .
tobacco, cigars and fruits are quiet and un
changed. Drygoods present no features,
and hay and produce and hats and caps are
quiet The latter trade has suffered some
from the prolonged open weather. Building
materials are active, and prices tend up
ward. the speculative market.
The New York stock market closes dull
and firm, without significant changes dur
ing the week. The Coalers have been most
active, with extensive dealings in Union Pa
cific and Sugar certificates, all of which ral
lied from lowest prices of the week. Bead
ing's $G8,927 of surplus, after paying inter
est on mortgage bonds, indicates an effect
of the poor coal trade. Increased bank re
serves and heavy bond purchases by the
Government rendered money easy at 36
per cent, but coal road losses, the virtual
collapse of the Inter-State Bailway Associa
tion and Western cutting of passenger and
cattle rail rates were enough to check a gen
eral desire to buy securities. Bonds are firm.
Kailway net earnings lor 11 months, as re
ported to Bradstreet's, are 16 per cent larger
in 1689 than in 1888.
Bep6rts to Bradstreet's of stocks of Indian
corn at 47 storage points east of the Bnckv
Mountains January 11 aggregate 15,623,892
bushels, only 156,492 bushels more than were
held December 28; oats 8,781,052 bushels,
a decrease of 920,227 bushels since Decem
ber 28; barley 3,339,569 bushels, an increase
of 459.733 bushels within the fortnight, and
rye 1.737,183 bushels, au increase of 37,666
bushels. The official report (21 storage
goints) indicates an increase of 2,733,794
bushels of corn, a decrease of 217,734 bush
els of oats end a decrease of 142,522 bushels
ot barley over a like period.
THE EXPORT TRADE.
Exports of wheat (and flour as wheat),
both coasts this week aggregate 1,731,696
bushels against 2,317,221 bushels last week,
and 1,301,640 bushels in the second week of
January, 1889. Total exports, July 1, to
date, amount to 58,394,427 bushels against
55,282,000 bushels in a like portion of 1888
89, and 80,125,000 bushels in 1887-88. There
has been a decreased output of flour, on in
creased stocks at home and abroad and
shaded prices. Wheat has been in better
demand for export within a few days and
prices are up yie. Corn, being offered more
freely is depressed lc. There is less
inquiry for oats and option prices are 4
c off. Heavier exports in tlie near future
are promised. There is more liberal trading
in hog products, and lard is stronger and 5
points higher. Pork is shaded and dressed
hogs are cheaper. Live stock is unim
proved in prices at Western points.
Moderate activity only is reported by cot
ton goods agents at New York and Boston.
Seasonable goods are dull, owing to un
favorable weather, advanced stage of the
season, little or no reassortment demand,
and full stocks in retailers' hands. Collec
tions are not satisfactory. Prices are
changed but little with the exception of
print cloths, which are active at a decline of
1-16& Wool is dnll and heavv in price.
and carpet wools arc particularly inactive.
Baw cotton is l-165-16c higher in all lead
ing marketson an active demand. Specu
lation is active at advanced prices.
UNCHANGED CONDITIONS.
Iron and steel are without change in
price. Demand is in large proportions.
Makers of Southern pig refuse to allow con
cessions. Production of crude is of full
volume, 8,000 tons per week larger than on
December 1. Operations of sugar refineries
reduced stocks at tbe four ports 12,942 tons
this week, and, on restricted offerings, raws
advanced 1-lGc. Refined sugars are steady.
The distribution of coffee has been more
satisfactory and prices firm. Speculative
quotations on the near months are 1020
points higher.
Business failures reported to Bradstreet's
number 355 in the United States this week.
against 351 last week and 358 this week last
year. Canada had 36 this week, against 46
last week. The total ot failures in the
United States January 1 to date is 1,018,
against 981 in 1889.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s review says: Trade is
better where the cold weather has made its
appearance, bnt unseasonable weather is the
general complaint East-bound shipments
from Chicago last week were 131,531 tons,
the largest ever known. The exports of
provisions are neavy, the lard movement
last week reaching 14,582,862 pounds. The
clearings ot banks last week were not only
the largest on record for that part of the
year, but showed ah increase over last year
of 12 per cent outside of New York. The
weekly output of pig iron January 1 was
174,038 tons, against 169,151 December 1,
and 151,398 a year ago. Inquiries indicate
that there is in the aggregate accumulation
of stocks.
SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED.
It also appears that the market for bar
iron is somewhat unsettled, with a tendencv
toward concessions, and plate iron is less
firm. Structural and sheet iron and nails
are steady, but some uneasiness is noticed in
the marketer steel rails. Unless consump
tion of finished products is not only sus
tained but expanded, the output of pig iron
can hardly continue at the present rate.
The stagnation in anthracite coal is aggra
vated. Prices are demoralized, and bi
tuminous coal, though very active, is easier.
The cotton industry is disturbed only by
sickness; demand for'goods has slightly im
proved, staples and prints are firm, and
print cloths 3J cents for 64s. The wool and
WOOlen goods show distinct ntuns nf n HI.
Vision between the light goods and worsteds,
uuu iue ueavier goous oj nearly all kinds.
The latter are seriously depressed by the un
seasonable weather. But there is a marked
revival in the trade for domestic worsted
and light goods, believed to be due to the
changes last year in treasurr rulings, now
for the first time felt The" shipments of
boots and shoes from Boston in 1889 were
3,399,980 cases, an increase of 4 per cent
over 1888 and 50 per cent since 1890.
FAVORABLE REPORTS.
Eeports from various quarters are on the
whole more favorable. Collections are quite
generally slow, because of retarded distribu
tion, but uneasiness it reported at only a few
points. Boston notes that South American
woes aaye ma at the 'WKMtj?olnti
reached, but leather is in fair demand, and
groceries selling well. Philadelphia ob
serves drug trade quiet, in produce, paper
and tobacco fair, but collections slow. At
Chicago bnsiness exceeds last year's in dry
goods, in boots and shoes with much recent
improvement, and very largely in grain and
provisions, but clothing is dull and out of
season. .
At St Louis weather has checked distri
bution, but otherwise trade is steady.
Manufactures at Cleveland are active, but
nearly all trade is dull, and at Detroit
much affected by mild weather,, but im
provement in weather and trade is seen at
Omaha. St Paul and Milwaukee. All
'Southern reports note active trade.
xne exports or cotton, provisions, on,
breadstuff's and cattle in December were
74,449,727, against $67,045,345 in 1888,
which points to an aggregate of exports
exceeding $94,000,000 for the month, and
again surpassing imports by 526,000,000.
'THE MONET MAEKET.
Foreign exchange has weakened to $i 86,
and tne Treasury has taken in for the week
only $1,100,000 more than it has paid out
But the money markets here and elsewhere
show on the whole rather more pressure,
which the heavy business in progress and
the tardy collections explain. The stock
market has been depressed.
Speculative markets for products are
irregular, but not very active. Wheat, is
nearly a cent higher with sales of only
12,000,000 bushels ior the week; corn a cent
lower with sales nearly as large, and pork
products a shade weaker. Coffee is steady,
oil 1 cent higher on light dealings, and
raw suirar is aeain advanced a shade.
though the estimate of the European beet
crop is 3.445.000 tons aeainst 2.764,457 for
the previous year. The general list of
prices is a shade lower than a week ago.
The failures number 336, ae compared
with 373 last week. For the corresponding
week of last year the figures were 330.
Winter xcur!oss to Washington.
Division Passenger Agent Smith, of the
Baltimore and Ohio Baijroad, has inaugur
ated his midwinter exenrsions to Washing
ton and Baltimore. The first will bo rnn on
Thursday, the 30th instant. Mr. Smith will
accompany the first special train in the
morning. This is the third winter he has
run excursions, and they have been a success.

during the past ten years, comprising 26
brands, over one-fourth was"G. H. Mumm's

BYZANTINE
SQUARES
-AND-
RUGS.
This entirely new fabric is
now shown for the first time
in Pittsburg.
They are similar to Smyrna
Squares and Rugs.
Like the Smyrnas, they are
woven in one piece with bor
ders, in a great variety of
sizes, from the door-mat and
hearth-rug to the squares for
large rooms.
Both sides can be used like
Smyrnas.
They are finer in texture
and finish than Smyrnas.
The designs and colorings
are in high art effects largely
in self-colors, and are soft and
beautiful as Moquettes.
They are nearly one-half
the price of Smyrnas.
See our window display of
Byzantine Floor Coverings.
N. B. We will finish stock
taki?ig in a few days and will
then announce a sacrifice sale
of patterns of Carpets not to
be run another season.

ELEGANT OVERCOAT
-OB A-
NICE SUIT
FOR A MERE SONG,
This is a literal fact Ten dollars is all that
will be asked by us this week for either Suit or
Overcoat, which requires no stretch of imagi
nation to suppose cannot be duplicated outside
our store under from $2 to 5 more money all
the "Discount Sales," "Sacrifice Sales," "Bar
gain Sales," with which this city is at the present
time flooded, notwithstanding. Is not $10 a mere
song for a Suit or Overcoat such as any man
can feel a pride in wearing?
We offer forthe small price of $10 Suits
and Overcoats which will please the
eye; which will fit the body; which are
in the latest fashion; which possess
good wearing qualities.
Suits and Overcoats which have more style,
more character and more sterling worth than
you'll obtain in any Suits or Overcoats sold in
any otHer clothing store in town for from 26 to
50 per cent more money.

English box; single breasted fly front, -winter;
double breated, cape or ulster. No matter who
you are or what size you are we can fit you; no
matter how particular you are we can please you.
It is easy for you to imagine what a variety we
have when we say we offer you choice from over
5,000 Overcoats at J5io only. Large as this stock
is, it would need to be ten times larger if people
but knew of what extraordinary value at jio
every Overcoat in the whole stock is.
WE DON'T WANT TO PUT IT
TOO FORCIBLY,
(In advertising now-a-days that is synonymous
with weakness and sensationalism),
But we desire to fasten your attention
on the fact that the
MEN'S SUITSWE 0FFERAT$10
ARE FAR AND AWAY THE
BEST EVER OFFERED IN THIS
CITY AT THE PRICE.
The two-fold charms of choice and cheapness
are the attractive features of these Suits. Fancy
Suits, in every way suitable for dress or business,
for 10 only. In styles: one-button cutaway
sack, four-button straight cut sack, four-button
cutaway sack, double breasted sack, one-button
cutaway, three or four-button cutaway, etc., etc
In Cheviots, Diagonals, Corkscrews, Tricots,
Wide Wale Worsteds, Fancy Checks and Striped
Cassimeres, Plain and Fancy Worsteds, Meltons
-and Beavers. Any material you want, any style
yon desire you can get at $10 only. You can
have choice from over 5,000 Suits at this price
and no matter whether you be tall or short, stout
or slim, we guarantee to fit you.
Do we expect this 10 sale to be a great suc
cess? Why ceitainly. And we'll tell you why.
It is A bona fide SAJ.E. The price' is marvel
ously low, it is true, but low as it is it is high
enough to be the means of securing a Suit which
can be depended on for adaptability and dura
bility. Put these Suits side by side with the Suits
sold elsewhere at 1 15 and we'll neither flinch nor
fall back from our statement that our 10 Suits
are superior in every way.

the style and material you want, accompanying
such description with sizes of garments. We
will send C. O. D. to any address.
