Exciting Incidents in the Ohio Ballot-Box forgery Inquiry. LAWIER CAMPBELL UPON THE STAND Before the ballot-box committee yesterday Bepresentative Butterworth referred to For aker's alleged treachery to Sherman in the Chicago Convention. The ex-GoTernor arose and emphatically declared he would listen to no more such talks from anybody. He said he had some letters which would pat a new face upon matters. Foraker also read a telegram from Chairman Hadden, de bouncing Attorney Campbell's testimony as false from beginning to end. ISrZCIAL TELEGEAM TO THE OIgrATCH.1 WASHiNGT0N,February7. There seems to be no end to the sensational features growing out of the Ohio ballot-box forgery investigation. To-day ex-Governor Foraker poured ont his wrath upon his enemies in general and Congressman Butterworth in particular, and the testimony of one witness was plainly called a lie by another party in terested. The first incident occurred when Mr. Butterworth said that in justice to him self and Governor Foraker he wanted to answer a question asked him by Mr. Turner as to whether there was any friction between himself and Governor Foraker. He did not want it to be understood that they were on terms of affectionate endear ment during the campaign. They had criticised each other, and were 'not on such affectionate terms as to be in constant com munication with each other. As to the Chi cago convention, that was a matter between Senator Sherman and Governor Foraker. FORAKER GETS EXCITED. This remark .evidently angered Governor Foraker, for, half rising In his seat, he ex claimed: "So far as the Chicago convention is concerned, I am prepared to meet what anybody may say, with the aid of a few let ters I have. I do not propose to be aspersed here or anywhere else about Chicago. I have heard all I want to hear of it, here and in Ohio. By the best men in the Bepnblican party at the Chicago convention I can refute any aspersions any man can make, and I have heard this thing for the last time with out resenting it I owe no apology to any body except myself, in that I have not more actively defended myself against such in sinuations!" Continuing his testimony Mr. Butterworth denied broadly knowing anything about the ballot-box contract or the forged paper be fore the Music Hall speech and the publica tion. HIS PIBST INTIMATION. About October 9th or 10th last the editor of the Cincinnati J?ventn7 Post telegraphed him, at Boston, that it was stated that his name was attached to the contract, and wit ness telegraphed an emphatic denial that he had signed any such paper. Later Mr. Halstead had written him a note, saying that he did not blame him for strongly de nying the matter. To this witness replied in a four page letter. "When again witness wrote to Mr. Hal stead, and wanted to know why he had not made inquiry which would have settled the character of the paper, Mr. Halstead replied that the inquiry wonld imply donbt, and the paper came to him in snch a way that he did not doubt its genuineness. He had admitted that if the paper had not come to him through a man of such character as Governor Foraker he might have doubted and investigated; but he declared that he assumed all responsibility. CAUSE OF THE INVESTIGATION-. In November Mr. Halstead, in the course of a chat, offered witness the paper to ex amine for a tew days. Witness brought it to Washington and consulted with the other persons whose names appeared on the paper as to what should be done to make it pub licly known as a bald forgery. It bad been rumored in Ohio that the paper was really genuine, but that it had been denied by the Commercial-Gazette, as it would bring down prominent Bepublicans with Jim Campbell. There was also from time to time in the Commercial-Gazette an intimation that there was another paper somewhere. So the gentlemen determined that there should be a Congressional inves tigation to settle the matter. WHY NO DENIAL "WAS MADE. James E. Neal, who was Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, of the campaign of 1889, was called to the stand. He said that after Governor For aker's speech, and the publication of the forged paper, he had called upon Mr. Campbell, and they had resolved not to make a specific denial until they had re ceived absolute proofV the falsity of the paper. They called upOn T. C. Campbell, who denied any knowIeoNe of an original contract and advised th a reward be offered for "Wood. October 10, witness receiveaV telegram at Columbus from Messrs. Harmn and Jor dan, at Cincinnati, and, going to see them, was told how the forgery had been made. Harman procured the affidavits of Murray and the young draughtsmen Millward .and Davis. Harman had given his word to the young men, that if Mr. Halstead, after see ing the affidavits, would print a retraction, they were to be returned to them. Witness said that it would have been a violation of the young men's confidence to arrest Mr. Halstead. Then, too, it was be lieved that a retraction coming from the original publishers of the forgery would have a stronger effect than if made by some other editor. Witness went on to say that , the search for Wood had been prosecuted, and how it had been abandoned when it wag evident that his arrest would be too late to help the case. WOOD'S CAI.Ii ON CAMPBELL. He corroborated Governor Campbell's story of Wood's visit to Hamilton and the ceuTirutlon between thin. Wood said hi fli a Ttry poor, struggling man, to poor F Efi FURIOUS that he was wearing his brother-in-law's clothes. He added that he believed he could be fined $500 and imprisoned for sixmontbs. He could take the imprisonment and a friend wonld pay his fine. 01 course his poverty appealed to tho sympathy of Gov ernor Campbell and himself, but that sym pathy did not take the form of financial as sistance, nor did he understand Wood to appeal for such a thing. Mr. John B, McLean was next called. He said he was the owner of the Cincinnati Enquirer. He never knew Wood or spoke to him in Washington. Never had any po litical, social or financial relations with John Sherman, or the other persons named in the forged paper. Never before to-day saw the forged paper, and never was inter ested in a ballot-box bill. THE OTHER CAMPBELL'S STORT. Lawyer T. C. Campbell, being called to the stand, testified that he first made Wood's acquaintance about 15 years ago, when he was called to defend Wood from a charge in the police court The witness told of the introduction of Wood's ballot box in Cin cinnati, the organization of the companv in May, 18S7; and the passage of the New Jersey ballot-box bill. The New Jersey boxes cost 15 apiece. Wood had called his attention to the ballot-box bills introduced in Congress at the instance of the Boston Ballot Box Company. These bills had been introduced by Senator Hoar not by request in 1886 and 1888. So he drew up a bill alter the same pattern. Witness told how he had applied to his old friend, Bepresentative Grosvenor, and he had made the point that a Democrat should be selected to introduce the bill in a Democratic house, and asked if witness knew Bepresentative Campbell. He did and applied to the gentleman, who intro duced the bill. Wood had told witness what the witness did not believe that Gov ernor Foraker had something to do with the ballot box syndicate. He had also said that James Foraker was interested, which there seemed to be some reason to believe. CHAIRMAN HADDEN'S INTEREST. Wood also said boastfully that Hadden and Outcalt were interested, and that But terworth would come in. Hadden spoke to witness (a ter Foraker's nomination), say ing: "You fellows are going to have a nice time with yonr hx in Washington." Wit ness had replied that the bill had been dropped and was dead. Had no conversa tion with Hadden or any one else as de scribed by Hadden, and never had a list of signatures ot members ot Congress made by himself or any one else. Never showed such a paper to Ha'dden. If the paper was honorably drawn, as Hadden had admitted, he would not have been ashamed to show it and been compelled to thrust it bacK in his pocket after waving it in the air. After the retraction, when there was need of support for Governor For aker's statement, Hadden could have cleared up the matter by coming forward and tell ing his story. But he did not. His story, if true, would have been of Infinite value to Governor Foraker, and his refusal to tell it would have been a piece ot arrant treachery to the Bepnblican party. A. QUESTION PROM FOEAKEB. Governor Foraker asked witness if he doubted his statement that Hadden had told him the story of the existence of an original paper. Witness replied that the Governor's statement was enough for him. Witness, continuing, told how he had lurnished in formation to Governor Campbell after the publication of the forgery. He told of his visit to Mrs. Wood, and how she had told him that Governor Foraker was a great and good man (an opinion in which he coin cided), but had finally refused to give him any information. V itness told how he bad been confronted with two letters from Wood, rne dated at Washington and -one. at Saginaw. MicK., but both bearing the same date. He was baffled, but sought in Michigan for Wood in vain, and gave it up. Witness then ex plained the "dear colonel" letter, saying that Governor Campbell, while Bepresenta tive, had at his request had the records of the Ordnance Department searched to look up the claim of a Confederate soldier's widow (Mrs. Macon), and the letter had been written to him (witness) in explana tion of tbe result. That was all there was of the celebrated gun deal. an irresponsible'eeevaricator. Wood had found that letter in witness' pigeon holes and evolved the entire stonr from his vivid imagination. Wood did not lie like other people. He was given to ex aggeration. He could not be held responsi ble. He could not tell the truth consecu tively or, if he did, it would be by accident. He thought Governor Foraker knew of this peculiarity, but was now willing to say that the Governor's opportunities were not as good as his (witness) fnrcorrectly estimating Wood's character. Witness remembered that in 1885 Governor Foraker had made disparaging remarks about Hall and Wood in connection with the sale of the Hall & Wood Carriage Company to Gainsford, who was Foraker's client. On cross-examination witness said to Mr. Turner that Hadden had been interested in the Ohio ballot-box syndicates, and so had Outcalt and others. Witness had never considered whether or not they would be interested in the passage of the bill by Con gress. Said he: "The whole of this nasty mess has been stirred up by reason of the fact that Judge Outcalt (Mr. Butterworth's partner) was trustee of the Ohio contract It was assumed by Wood that if Judge Out calt had a contract in Ohio, Mr. Butter worth must have had one in Washington." CHANGED HIS MIND. Witness was at first uncharitable enough to sun nose that Governor Foraker wns ho. hind this whole matter, but now he had come to the conclusion that Hadden was tbe prime mover, and that he was tbe one who induced Wood to do this thing. Governor Foraker sought for some time to get tbe witness to say lie did not believe him to be cognizant of the forgery. The witness first said he believed the Governor did not ask Wood to commit the crime, and. when finallv nressed for a Kneeifin answer, said: "I don't think you knew Wood committed a forgery, but I think you have been remiss in not finding it out" Governor Foraker replied that had been his opinion about the witness. He had be lieved that lie procured the paper, but now saw that he had not. He did not want to reflect upon- Mr. Hadden, however. Mr. Grosvenor said that he wished to go on record as admitting the corrections of Governor Foraker's statement touching his interview with Hadden ou June 27, as it had not been impeached by any testimony. Smith L. Johnson, of Columbus, testified respecting a conversation he had beard on a tram, when Governor Foraker had said he had knowledge of a business transaction which -would affect Sherman, McKinley and Butterworth. They were speaking of the rumors that these gentlemen were not prop erly supporting the Governor in the canvass. The Governor did not speak unkindly of the gentlemen. FALSE TESTIMONY. Governor Foraker read a telegram re ceived from Hadden, saying: "Lawyer Campbell's testimony false from beginning to end. Cross-examine him." A question arose as to whether the witness should be kept under snbpcena, but he was finally dis charged. Bepresentatiyes Breckinridge, of Ken tucky, and McAdoo, of New Jersey, testi fied that they knew nothing about ballot box contracts, and had not signed the pa per. H. C.MagrewtoId how he had given 550 to Walters to pay Wood's board here and his expenses to Cincinnati. Witness came hereby direction of Chairman Conger, of the Ohio State Bepnblican Committee. Governor Foraker had requested witness to look after Wood a little, but he would have had to return to Washington in any event Witness was not instructed to keep Wood in Washington, but to kop bit eye on him. He knew wood u wanted la, Cincinnati, but had said nothing about his presence here. He understood that Wood was to be watched to carry out the agreement between Mr. Halstead and Governor Campbell's lawyers that no further publicity should be given to the ballot-box matter before elec tion. HENLEY'S SWEEPING DENIAL. Bepresentative McKinley was recalled to testiry that he never signed any paper any where touching the ballot-box matter. James B. Foraker, the ex-Governor's brother, was placed on the stand, and said that he had given Wood a letter of recom mendation upon his representation that he was trying lor appointment as smoke in spector, and that Hadden had told him he had a good show. Witness did. nothing be yond this to further Wood's appointment T.Kates, of Cincinnati, testified that he had bee if an applicant for the place of smoke inspector at the time Wood was after tbe place. Witness was stroncly indorsed, and did not understand Wood's mysterious strength and partial appointment. Governor Foraker had declined to recommend witness because he had recommended another man. Wood got all of his letters of recommenda tion after the 13th of September, when the charges rer6 made against him. Wood had told the witness that he was going to get the place; that he and Hadden were getting up a paper to help the Bepnblican party, and that Mayor Moseby was in the scheme. EANDALL ALL EIGHT.- His Physician Asserts That There Is No Canse for Immodlate Alarm Fre quent Consultations With Con cresstnen Havo Fa ilgacd Him. rrilOM A STAFF COREESPOJIDENT.J Washington, February 7. The sole cause of the reports of Hon. Samuel J. Bau dall's alarming condition was the fatigue consequent upon the frequent visits of Con gressmen during tbe exciting scenes attend ing the disposal ot the Smith-Jackson con tested election case. Mr. Carlisle's leader ship in that crisis amounted to little. Crisp was the only Democrat who did not seem to lose his head, and Democrats generally did not recognize him as a safe captain in a par liamentary struggle in which tbe cunning was almost entirely with the adversary. Consequently, Democrats sought Mr. Ban dall, who is acknowledged to be without a peer on either side in his knowledge of par liamentary law. So the famous ex-Speaker was overrun with visitors, some of whom would have talked him to death if he had not been pos sessed of greater vitality than he has had credit for. Aside from the fatigue of visits, which would have made a strong man very tired, Mr. Bandall has been really in better condition since the opening of Congress than lor some time before. He has never recovered his health since bis almost fatal attack nearly two years ago, bat last sum mer he felt so well that he became indis creet and took long drives and sat up on his veranda in the evening air, which was un usually humid all last year. This indiscretion provoked an attack of rheumatism, and it is that affliction which has kept the ex-Speaker indoors. At no time has he had to employ the services of a professional nurse. Mrs. Bandall, Miss Susie Bandall, Mrs. Lancaster, another daughter, and Mrs. Swann, Mrs. Bandall's sister, alternate in giving Mr. Bandall their companionship, and as the patient has al most invariably slept well at nicht render ing other attention, aside, Jrom that of the physician, unnecessary. Dr. Martin, his old Philadelphia family physician, rnns over to the Capital only at rare intervals, a local physician having regular charge of the patient. This physician says there is no immediate cause for alarm, and that Mr. Bandall shows signs of improvement rather than retrogression. K0 SIGN FROM WANAMAKER, A McKcesport Delegation Endeavors to Give Captain Thompson n Boost. r FROM A STAFF COKttESFONDEHT.I Washington, February 7. The delega tion irom McKecsport on behalf of Captain William E. Thompson, the nominee for postmaster at that place, arrived this morn ing. They registered at the National Hotel, and had scarcely been shown to their rooms before Captain Thompson joined them. Shortly afterward Congressman Bay, who had also been expecting them, arrived, and under his guidance they all started for the Postoffice Department. On arriving there they found that Mr. Wanamakerwasnotin, so perforce they put off their call until the afternoon, when they told of Thompson's good character, and assured I Mr. Wanamaker that there -was nothing true in the charges made against him which could in any way affect his conduct of the office. Mr. Wanamaker, in replying, gave thera no positive assurance that Mr. Thompson's confirmation should be unhindered, bnt he told the members of the delegation that he was glad to know that Mr. Thompson was so highly esteemed among them, and left them with the impression that there would be no farther difficulty in the matter. Mr. Harrison, one of the defeated candidates for this office, with a lriend named Stevens, arrived here to-day. BEFDSED A 5,000 CHECK, And Wax Thereupon Legally Decided, to be nn Insane Person. ISFECIAt. TBXKOBAM TO TUS ilSPATCH.! Brooklyn, February 7. A jury in the City Court has decided that Mrs. Ann Dinsdale, a widow, is insane, and a com mittee will be appointed to take charge ot her person and estate. Her husband, who died about six months ago, was a member of the Legion of Honor, and had a 5,000 in surance on his life. Secretary W. H. Eiley, Chairman of the lodge to which Mr. Dinsdale belonged, testified that he called on Mrs. Dinsdale .with a check for $5,000, but that she refused to receive it. He told that she was the most remarkable woman he had ever seen, but that he would leave the check at all events. He did not leave it, however, Mrs. Dinsdale having threatened to burn it if he did. Her three children testified to other behavior indica tive of an unbalanced mind. TO BREAK THE DEADLOCK. Iowa Legislators Striving- to Effect n Com', promise Agreement. Des Moines, February 7.

Tho Yonng Dnke of Orleans Appears at Paris-and liaises the STANDARD OF A- ROYAL REY0LT. His Father Has Made a Formal Abdication in His Favor. THE PRETENDER SPEEDILY ARRESTED Alio tailed In the Famous Prison ToateHiU Hell Many ef His Ancestors. Contrary to French law the Duke of Or leans appeared in Paris. He was arrested and a royal manifesto discovered on his per son. It is believed that he contemplated a revolution. The Duki claims, however, that he came to join the French army. He is now confined in the Conciergerie. Paris, February '7. By .'prompt action the Government to-day nipped in the bud what was apparently intended to be aBoyal ist coup d' etat, modeled after Louis Napo leon's, mad descent npon Boulogne, and the consequence is that the Duke of Orleans, eldest son of the Count of Paris, is to-night in custody. The Duke arrived in Paris to-day, bearing a letter written and signed by the Count de Paris, announcing to the faithful and to all others the Count's abdication. He issued with him a manifesto addressed to the peo ple of France. Nominally, and according to the theory of pretenders, a pretender is always a king, and therefore the Count of Paris abdicates the throne he never possessed. CLAIMS TO BE A KING. He consequently abdicates his claims as a pretender, and, in virtue of this abdication, all his claims, rights and titles descend to his eldest son, the young gentleman now in the hands of the authorities Philippe Louis Eobert, Duke d'Orleans: This gentleman is therefore not merely one of many vagrant princes, but the actual pretender to the throne in virtue of his claims as the heir of Louis Philippe, and also as the heir ot the old Bourbon line. His coming into the country in violation of the law banishing all the heads and direct heirs of reigning lamilies is a rash escapade if it stands alone. The fact that he was equipped with an appeal to the nation shows his intention and may make the escapade serious for him. A SEBIOUS MATTER.' If it should be devttoped that this move ment is made in virtue of an understanding with the' partisans of the monarchy in France, it may be more than a me.re viola tion of the law of expulsion. There is some reason to believe that the movement is made in concert with the more determined oppo nents of theBepublic, as the Duke repaired immediately to theliouse of the Duke de Luvnes, the present head of a family that has' always adhered with uncompromising heroism to tbe old monarchy. In that house the young gentleman was King of France in theory the descendant of Henry IV. On the day before February 6 the Dnke of Orleans attained the age of 21. The ab dication of his father, the manifesto and the movement were all apparently planned with regard to that date, and in order to electrify France with the demonstration that the for tunes of the monarchy were now in new hands; that the crown now belonged on -the head of a uteux chevalier Who would dare do something for it and not fold his hands in a quiet corner. THE GOVERNMENT AWAKE. But the Government wai not caught nap ping. It was promptly informed of the presence of the Dukejn Paris and of his whereabouts. It has not yet been decided how much more maybe known to the police, but the facts on the surface were suihcient. The Duke was in France in violation of the law made purposely for excluding his father and himself as enemies of the Bepublic. This law had been remitted only in favor of the Dnke d'Aumale. Therefore the Duke d'Orleans was at once arrested at tbe house of the Duke de Luynes. He was taken to the prefecture of police, where his identity was fixed beyond all doubt, and where tbe proces verbal of his violation of the law of banishment was drawn up. He was then detained at the Conciergerie, famous as a place of detention for royalty in distress. In the afternoon be was arraigned before the military authorities at the Cen tral Bureau. In response to the inquiry as te tbe objects and purposes of his visit to France, he said that, having attained his majority, he had come to France to place himself at the disposal of the military au thorities. AN AUDACIOUS ANSWER. This dash of audacity is regarded as a very happy stroke and is sure to make friends for him, for a gallant French boy who wants to take his chance for conscrip tion is a somewhat unusual and captivating figure. But this did not touch the sensibili ties of the hard-hearted authorities, and Constans, the Minister of the Interior, ordered that the Duke be held in custody. Further disposition of the case will, of course, depend upon whether it is discov ered that there is any plot for a gen eral Boyalist movement. Everybody in Paris remembers that the Boyalists of France were, at a given moment," ready to rise, but that Henry V. obstinately would not face the peril of placing himself at their head. People are now asking them selves the question whether the young Prince has not come Into the land "of his fathers in response to a similar invitation. This is the only view in which the case has a serious face. Aside from this it seems only a mad prank. m The Duke of Orleans has lately resided at Laussane, in Switzerland. He leit there in company with tbe Duke de Luynes, who is only one year his senior. It "is said that none of his family were aware of his inten tion to enter France, and that tbe family is ignorant of any plans he may have made with any other. MANY RUMORS AFLOAT. It is also reported that he did endeavor to enlist as a private soldier, bnt was refnsed at the recruiting office for some informality in his application; that he went to tbe Maire to endeavor to overcome this diffi culty and was there referred to the Ministry; and that finally, as he could not get a satis factory response to his request to be per mitted to perform his three years' military service as an enlisted man, he wrote a polite letter to M. De Freyeinet, which was car ried by tbe Duke De Luynes. This letter was to the effect that he had no Intention to remain in Paris, nor to create any difficulty; that he was legally precluded from holding anyrank In the army, but that he was ambitious of serving France as a private soldier. Shortly after this he was arrested. Contradictory stories are afloat as to all the details of the case, and particu larly as to tbe report of the abdication of tbe Count de Paris. One of the first things made pnblio was the report that the pnke had with him the document ot abdication. As the Connt de Paris has been at sea some days on his way to America, this gave the appearance of long considered preparation to the move ment It is now positively denied that the Dnke has any snch document, or that Connt de Paris has signed any act of abdication.

TELEGBAM TO TUB PISFATCB.1 Birmingham, Ala., February 7. Three white men, from the scene of the trouble brought to this city to-day news of the killing of two white men and the wonnding of three others in a fight with negroes which occurred yesterday in Bibb cpnnty, 50 miles south of here. The scene of the fight is remote from, any tele graph office, and later developments could not be obtained. A new railroad is being built through that country, and several thousand men, mostly negroes, are em ployed. The story is that Dennis Carney, a white foreman, had some trouble about "the work with a gang of negroes. Yesterday afternoon the negroes laid in ambush and fired on Carney and a party of his friends as they were returning from work. Dennis Carney and Anthony Bracken, white, were killed instantly, and John Bol ton, Pat Lawlor and William Cunningham were badly wounded. The white men were unarmed and the negroes escaped unhurt The contractors for the work where the fight occurred left this city for the scene of trouble as soon as they learned of it If the report 'is trne there will nndoubtedly be further trouble. TO BUILD A NEW TOWN. An English Syndicate Is Going Into the Leather Business Henvlly. ISrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCTI.l Philadelphia, February 7. The latest scheme of English capitalists who wish to invest their money in America is to become the landlords of a town composed exclus ively of morocco factories and the dwellings of the operators. An English syndicate has just subscribed, through F. W. Sutterlee, of this city, $3,500,000 lor the new town of Leathertou, which is to be located near Torresdale. Mr. Sutterlee undertook the work some time ago at the solicitation of a ' number of large morocco manufacturers. A tract of land, comprising 250 acres, has been bought on Poqnessing creek and the Delaware river and on the line of the Penn sylvania Bailroad. The new company will be called the Leathertou Land and Im provement Company, and upon the land will be located about 25 large factories. At the present time 11 of the lamest firms in the city have signed agreements to rent factories that the company will build and nine more have signified their intention of so doing. THE AMERICAN HOG WINS. Mexico Decides to Remove tbe Obnoxious Quarantine Regulations. Washington, February 7. Secretary Busk recently made an urgent lemonstrance through Secretary Blaine against the impo sition by the Mexican Government of quar antine regnlations in regard to American hogs, and was to-day informed by the De partment of State that a telegram from Misister Byad had been received imparting the information that the Government of Mexico will issue orders without delay dis continuing the obnoxious rules. Secretary Busk is much gratified at the removal of this restriction, and regards it as being possibly a forerunner of a more lib eral poiioy in regard to American meat prod ucts on the part of other foreign countries, a change of policy which he thinks would be facilitated should Congress confer upon him full powers in the matter of meat in spection.

The Lenox Hill Bank was open for business for a short time this afternoon and will be open at 9 a. m. to-morrow, and the rehabilitation of the three institutions, which at first appeared to be hopelessly wrecked, seems to be ac complished. There now remains to be watched tbe process of the criminal law.' All who took part in looting the three banks, except Wallack, have been active in making at least partial restitution. While it is not likely that pledges of im munity have been given there is no doubt an expectation on tbe part of those who have disgorged that all prosecutions will be abandoned. In the case of tbe Sixth Na tional Bank the power and the responsibility involved in securing the punishment of the wreckers are in the hands of Bank Exam iner Hepburn and the United States Dis trict Attorney. the next important step. Mr. Hepburn is already the complainant against Pell and Claasseq.the present charge against them being embezzlement If an additional charge of conspiracy be brought it may be made to include everybody in tbe combine. In fact this is the next important step in the case which may properly be looked for. The United States Grand Jury will meet next Tuesday, and Cyrus Butler, of the Union League Club, will be the foreman. The Lenox Hill Bank was open for about half an hour. It took in about $1,000 in deposits and paid checks for about $100. As soon as the bank closed for the day Mr. Jordan invited a number of reporters to hear a statement which he wished to make. He said: "The bank was turned over to me to-day, and it is now in my possession as President. A temporary board of directors was elected this afternoon. I must decline to mention their names. I think the bank is solvent, and on Monday next I expect to be able to say positively that it is. THE PLAN OF OPERATIONS. "Any one can now come In and make a deposit The old depositors can get certifi cates for all ascertained debts to them. These certificates are payable within 30 days. This does not apply to those holding any part of the $22,786 69 of certified checks, which were drawn against this bank, sent to the Sixth Avenue National Bank as clearing agent and returned unpaid. These we are now ready to pay. They in clude the-ehcesrfor $1,600 held by P. J. Curry, nnd the cheek for $3,800 held by Clerk Vreeland. of tbe fire department. None of them is what are known as the syndicate checks. "The trusteeship ceased today so far as new business is concerned. I think that the necessity for a trustee will cease within a week and that will remove the 30-day re striction against the old depositors. I turned over to the Lenox Hill Bank to-day can celled checks amounting to $398,000 and $30,000 in cash. The bank has now about $30,000 in cash." ' ALL HAVE RESIGNED. Mr. Jordan said that the resignations of all the old directors had been accepted, bnt that the resignation of Cashier Van Zandt was still under consideration. "I received the signed resignation of President Wallack to-day," he added. "Is it the intention to prosecute Wallack or any.ol those associated with him?" was asked. "Neither Mr. Wallack nor anyone else will e attended to until I shall make a complete investigation of the affairs of the bank. I want to say in reeard to this' bngaboo abont my trying to shelter certain people by holding back important evidence which might be used against them that it is absurd. The checks upon which the certification has been canceled cannot be .destroyed. They will be ready to be used as evidence whenever they are called for. There have been no attempts to shelter anybody. You should have some considera tion for these men who got the banks and themselves into trouble. THETABE ALL REPENTANT. "These men, without an exception, are all very repentant, and are trying earnestly to redeem the situation. The worst parties I have had to deal With have been those who had these men by tbe throats by reason of loans made to them." ''Have yon been in personal communica tion with "Wallack, Killduff, Simmons and the rest within the last few davs?" "With all except Wallack.Mr. Wallack is keeping out of the way, bnt he is no more criminally-liable than jjou or L I received some correspondence from him to-day." "Where is he?" "J must decline to say." Mr. Jordan said that one of the "repent ants" had returned the bank $60,000 of the capital stock. A TECULIAE SALE. This stock Mr. Jordan has resold at par upon tne conauion mat n is not to oe paid for until he can make a good report of the condition of the bank. Mr. Jordan has bought $5,000 worth of this stock himself. The temporary directors of the Lenox Hill Bank are said to be: Conrad N. Jor dan, H. A. Smith, assistant cashier of the Western National; Anderson Fowler, one of the old board of directors; Charles Leib man, brewer; Jacob Beekman, real estate; Charles F. Yuengling, brewer, and Lee Wolf, provisions. Claassen secured $30,000 bail late this afternoon, and was released. His wife, Ella S. Claassen, and Bernhard Cohn were bis bondsmen. Mr. Cohn does not know Claas sen personally, but went on the bond at the request of Philip Meyer, a stockholder in thetLenox Hill Bank. A C0NYICT SEEK3 DEATH.

' "o Independent Democrats and mugwumps Will Oppose the Senator's Ke-Elec- tlon Maryland Is to be Gerry mandered to Ipjnre tho Republicans. rSrECIAL TXLZOBAM TO TIDE DISPATCH. 1 Baltimore, February 7. The mug wumps and kickers who fought the regular Democratic party at the last election are again airing their independence by an attack on Senator Gorman and his policy with reference to the Australian ballot law. Even the police are not spared. They are charged with assisting at bribery and re peating, and S. Davis Warfield, the Chair man of the late Independent Committee, submits a report in which he .claims to have collected all the nece ssary evidence to prove his assertions. He says he employed New York detectives, who made great discov eries and implicated ward managers and election judges. Senator Gorman was a shining mark for the reformers because of his speech against the secret ballot Said Mr. Warfield in his manifesto: "You have a fight now before yon, to my mind, more serious than any yet undertaken, more important to you than the election of your Mayor, than the election of your Gov ernor. I refer to the election of a successor to A. P. Gorman to the Senate of the United States tiro years hence. Mr. Gor man is an enemy of every cardinal prin ciple of Democracy as laid down by Grover Cleveland; an enemy of tariff relorm and of civil service reform. He has only re centlytplaced himself on record as opposing the final recommendation of Grover Cleve land ballot reform." The sensation of the day is the proposed Congress redistricting bill, which will, if passed, make the two districts in tbe city solidly Democratic, and will also help the Democrats in the Fifth district, now repre sented by Mr. Compton,. and which Is very close. Two Bepnblican wards in the Fourth district, which Mr. Stockbridge, Bepnblican, represents, are thrown into the Third; and two wards from the Third, strongly Democratic, are ptaced in the Fourth. Five Democrats and one Bepnb lican will be sent by Maryland next time. HALF A MILLION INF0LYED. A Salt la Which Mr. Robert Garrett Is De cidedly Interested. Baltimore, February 7. An attach ment under the act of 1883 against non residents was issued from the Conrt of Common Pleas to-day at the suit of the Mineral Bange Bailroad Company, of Mich igan, vs.Henry S. Ives, George H. Staynor, and Thomas C. Doremus, who compose the firm of HenrS. Ives & Co., of New York. The claim of the Mineral Bange Company against Ives & Co., is for $456,968. The object of bringing the attachment ,iu this judicial jurisdiction is to snmmon Mr. Eobert Garrett as garnishee to the amount of $200,000. This was paid to them by lyes nearly three years ago as a part of the consideration for the purchase of the Balti more and Ohio Bailroad stock, held and controlled byilr. Garrett and as guarantee of good faith In the transaction. The railroad company claims that Mr. Garrett is not entitled to retain the money paid him bylves, and that it is subject to attaebmen t in his hands by the creditors of Ives & Co. Mr. Garrett holds that the money was forfeited to him bylves' failure to carry out his part of the contract and pnrchase the stock. A MURDERER'S CONFESSION. He Implicates a Number of Other Persons la ibe Crime. IEFXCTAZ. TZLEpBAM TO TUB DISPATCH.! . Birmingham, Ala., February 7. Dick Hawes, the noted murderer of his wife and children, who is to hang on the 28th, makes a partial confession to-day to a magis trate and other officers. The written confession will not be made pnblic until several parties implicated, by it have been arrested. In this confession or statement Hawes still insists that he did not murder his wife and children, but knows who did. He says John Wylie, of Atlanta, Ga., was the principal, and had several ac complices. Wylie was a warm personal friend of Hawes, and was arrested on sns- fiicion when Hawes was, but afterward re eased. To-day he was again, arrested in Atlanta on a telegram from the Sheriff of this county. Hawes implicates several other paties, who will probably be caught to morrow. Hawes alleges that Wylie was in timate with his wife, and committed the murder to prevent discovery. While his story is not believed it will be fully inves tigated and all tbe parties he names as ac complices taken into custody pending the investigation. FOUR DOLLARS A M0STH. Small Sam for n Society Lady Good Reasons for nDlroree. Newark, N. J., February 7. Mrs. Iona Murray, of South Orange, has brought a suit for divorce against her hnsband, Thomas Murray. The couple were married in 1881. They are wealthy and move in the best so ciety in Orange. Mr. Murray is a member of tbe Essex Hunt CInb. In the bill Mrs. Murray alleges cruel and inhuman treat mont, and cites numerous instances since 1882. On one occasion he struck her a violent blow on the month. Numerous similar instances of bad treatment are cited. Since December she has received only $4. Her husband refused to allow her tbe use of his horses, except when riding with his son. She says her hnsband is worth $70, 000, and makes $10,000 a year. He was a widower with eight children when she mar ried him. Mr. Murray is the head of a calcium light company in New York. OPPOSED TO PARTIES. Mayor Grant Objects to the Latest World's Fair Proposition. New York, February 7w Mayor Grant, in speaking 61 the World's Fair to-day, said: "The latest proposition that has been made in reference to the bill at Albany is that the committee be divided so that it will consist of an equal number of Democrats and Bepublicans. Such a suggestion as this is something I can never agree to. If this is tbe only standpoint from which they can look upon this matter I must say that under no conditions will it receive my sanc tion. If $10,000,000 is to be spent it shall not be spent to benefit any political organi zation or party. "Should this money be taken from the City Treasury I, as Mayor of New York, mnst insist that it be expended for the bene fit of the city itself and our business men, and I will agree to nothing else."

LETTEE OF GREETING TO 300 WORKERS, Telling Them of Faith fa the Project, Eren With Tery Email fronts. An event, not very startling in itself, bnt certainly of exceeding import to the wage worker, in its example and possible out come, was tbe annual profit-sharing of s Pittsburg locomotive firm with its em--, ployes, last evening. This method of solv ing all labor troubles is being looked -upon seriously by many another firm in the conntry and was adopted, only two weeks since, by New York State's greatest felt factory. Last evening at 5.30 o'clock the employes of H. K. Porter & Co., locomotive builders, were called to the office to receive their an nual share of the firm's profits. The em ployes did not expect it so early in the year; bnt, of conrse, there was no hesitancy about accenting it. The first notice of the distribu tion the men had was carried by one of the clerks, who called ont in one of the depart ments that all hands were to re port to the office. A shout by the work men louder than is usually given ou payday when it is announced that the pay is ready to be given out, was the answer. The office was quickly filled by tbe machin ists. The paymaster called ont tbe name of each employe, and when answered he was . handed a sealed envelope containing a check for the amount dne him ont of the profits, accompanied by the following letter: H. K. PORTZB ife Co.. ) Light Locomotives. Pittsburg. February 7, 1890. ) Dear Sir We are pleased to again make a voluntary distribution of money to our men. Inclosed we hand you check for 5 , the amount falling to you. The number of locomotives built by us In 18SS is greater than that of any previous year; bnt it was possible to secure these orders by selling at prices that were very unsatisfactory. On this account we hare been stroncly tempted to largely reduce tne amount distributed. Bat after careful thought on this matter, we have decided not to do this. A COMMON INTEREST. The thing which influences us most in this decision is the fact that we have had a clearer indication this last year than at any time be fore, that nearly all our men are positively in. terested in tbe success of the business. At two or three different times, when special energy and push were of great Importance, tbe output clearly showed that any reasonable demand on f tbe force wonld be cheerfully met and the de sired result achieved. Better results are shown in almost every department, and we bare known indirectly, as well as directly, that the spirit in the whole shops bas been a rebuke to any workman whose carelessness or indiffer ence proved hlra to be unworthy of tbe confidence reposed in him, or who showed in any way that he was only selfish in his actions, and indifferent to the Interests of the firm and ot his fellow work men. We regret that there has been any one who has not heartily responded to our earnest endeavors to Drlng about perfect banllbny. Bat we have from the first regarded this distribu tion as a matter of education and growth for us all. Unless we can plainly see that a Urge part of tbe money thus distributed Is really earned by better work and greater results than would come without it we shall undoubtedly give np tbe experiment Bat we do not intend to be thwarted until we have taken time to convince ourselves on this point; and we are thoroughly assured that perhaps one-tbird to one-half of tbe amount distributed to-day bas been earned or saved by our men. We are glad to say tbls to vou. and bone to have this conviction strength ened in the future. Tour appreciation of our efforts for mutual advantage is very ctatifyins to us. We cordially reciprocate. A WOBD OP ADVICE. Now just a word as to this money coming to you: Make good use of it. Let none of it be wasted, or worse than wasted. If sickness or accident has not befallen you or your families, we hope you have no debts, for men in debt are generally poor men to have In a shop. If not in debt, let this money, in whole or in part, go into a home, or into a bank for savings (for a rainy day), or into a life policy in some insur ance company so good that you need have no fear; and so make provision for those whom, we doubt not,many of you bold dearer than lite, and who might suffer sorely if you were to be suddenly taken from tbem. None of yon, wa are sure, will take this word of advice amiss. We are led to give it from tbe Kindness pf feel ings toward yon, and partly becanse. in a very few instances in the past, we have known of the money being misused. It this were at all gen era, we certainly would never make another such distribution. With onr best wishes for yonr prosperity in every respect, we remain yonr friends. B. K. Porter 4 Co.! As each man received his envelope ha was cantioned not to have it cashed in a saloon. This is really the fourth year that H. K. Porter & Co. have been dividing their profits among employes. The share due the workmen is arrived at by percentage. For instance, a man works say 313 days in the year at $2 50 per day. eight per cent more wages. In that time his regnlar wages are $782 50, and tbe firms adds say 8 per cent to tha year's wages, making $G2 60, which is given him as-his share of the profits, or as a vol untary distribution. Or, suppose a man loses 113 days work on account of sickness or some other excuse,his shnre,at the same per cent and same wages, would be $45. H. N. Spragne, the superintendent, and tbe two foremen received tbe largest amounts, fol lowed in order iy the gang bosses and machinists. About 300 people altogether each re ceived a check this year. The first year the experiment was tried by the company the gang bosses received $25, the machinists $15, laborers $10, and tho press boys $5 each. There were 360 em ployes at that time. The two succeeding years tbe distribntions were made in the same manner as yesterday. This year none of the employes received less than $5, and the two foremen received over $100 each, and in all there was between $10,000 and 12,000 given out. A VERT GENEROUS SLICE. The company does not. of course, divide all the profits of its year's business with tha employes. For instance, if the vearly busi ness is $200,000, and $50,000 of "that profit, they take a certain amount, say $30, 000, out of the $50,000. and make a division or the balance. There has not been a strike at the works since the experiment bas been in operation. The only trouble that the firm has had since it commenced this work was when the BIrck Diamond steelworkers were on strike in. 1888. A number of the employes did not want the firm to buy material of the Black Diamond Steel Works. In answer to this complaint the firm sent to each man a circular, stating that they would not be governed by their (the employes') wishes, and all who were in favor of allow ing tbe company to bur of whom It pleased, were requested to sign the circnlar. Those who did not, it was stated, wonld not re ceive the regular yearly share of the firm's profits. All but a very few signed. Those who did not did not receive the extra sum at the end of the year; bnt they were not dis charged. Only one other firm -in this city shares its profits with its employes to any extent whatever, ana it does so on a smaller seals. -
