LURED TOHIS DEATH.
Strange Story of the Princi
pal Actors in the
LONE PINE POND TRAGEDY,
Where Toung Benwell Fell a Victim
to Birchall's Avarice.
FATAL SUCCESS OF A DARK PLOT
The story of the tragedy near Niagara
Falls, in which F. C. Bents-ell, a -well-connected
young Englishman, lost his lire, reads
like a romance. The facts, as given in de
tail, are fnll of interest.
rgrECIAI. TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCIM
Princeton. Ont., March a The in
quest on the body of F. C. Benwell, a well
connected young Englishman, whose corpse
was discovered a few days since in one of the
most dreary and desolate parts of this prov
ince, was concluded to-night, and the fol
lowing verdict rendered:
"We and that the said F. C. Benwell came to
his death by two pistol shots fired into his
head from behind, one at or near the nape of
the neck and the other a little behind above
the left car. either one of which was sufficient
to cause aeath; aud yoar jurors cave
reason to believe, and do believe,
that said shots were fired by the hand of
Reginald Birchall alias Somerset, with de
liberate purpose, willfully and feloniously to
commit murder, on or about the 17th of Febru
ary, 1S9Q, and we are of opinion that Caroline
Birchall, the wife of said Reginald Birchall,
was accessory to the murder after the fact.
The story of the man held for the murder
is a remarkable one.
A WILD YOUNG BLADE.
Birchall was born in Church, Lancashire,
England, 25 years ago. His father was the
Eev. Joseph Birchall, who was for years
rector of Church Kirk and Rural Dean of
"Whalley, and died in 1878, having lived at
Church since 1840. The Rev. Joseph
Birchall was a man of some wealth and was
one of the best known clergymen in East
Lancashire.
Reginald, the youngest son, was educated
at Harrow and Oxford, though he did not
graduate from Oxford. Among his papers
are found certificates of term examinations
at Lincoln College there. He seems to have
led a pretty wild life, never doing anything
exactly criminal, but to have spent money
continually beyond his means, and to have
mingled with the "fast set" about all the
while. He was known as a liar by his
chums, and his particular foible used to be
to tell falsehoods to strangers about his
lordly connections and intimate acquaintance
w ith the high aristocracy.
MASQUERADING AS A LORD.
In the summer of '88 a young English
man with his wife came to Woodstock, and
said they were Lord and Lady Somerset, ot
England. They told, in fact, different
rtories. Several times the yonng man said
that he was not Lord Somerset, but the son
of Lord Somerset, and again that his name
was Birchall. He was a dashing likely
young fellow, who cttabig figure in "Wood
stock, lie boarded at the best place in
town, drove th best horses he could hire and
drank a great deal of champagne. His wife
was a pretty and refined woman of charm
ing manners. Both "Somerset" and his
wife were received in the best society.
Somerset said that lie came to Woodstock to
follow farming, but he never touched a
plow while he was here. In May of 1889,
Lord and Ladv Somerset disappeared very
suddenly, leaving something over 51,000 o'f
unpaid debts.
As early as July last Birchall began to
practice drawing up advertisements such as
these:
Canada University man having farm wishes
tomeet gentleman's f on to lire with him and
learu the business witn view to partnership.
Must haie 500 to extend stock. Board, lodg
ing and 5 per cent interest till partnership ar
ranged. Highest references.
TEAPPIKG HIS VICTIM.
The contents of Birchall's letter-box prove
that he had many answers to his advertise
ment, but with only two of his correspond
ents did he do any business. These were
Douglas Raymond Belly, of Essex, and
Frederick C. Benwell, son of Lieutenant
Colonel Benwell, of Isenltdene, Cheltenham.
Birchall vent to see both the Pelly and
Benwell families. He impressed all those
he met with his candor and business respon
Bibilitv. "He told us," said Telly, in his testi
mony before the Magistrate at Birchall's
examination in Clifton, "that be had, one
mile and a hall from Niagara Falls, a larsre
farm. After hearing his story I came to the
conclusion I would like the business, and
entered into an agreement with him. This
agreement was that 1 should pay
him 170, and have in return mv
expenses, board and lodging at the stock
farm, and 22J per cent of the profits or the
business. I sent him a check for the 170.
The agreement made with Lieutenant
Colonel Benwell was that his son Frederick
should go out with Birchall aud see how he
liked the stock farm, and that if he was sat
isfied he would pay 500 for a half interest
in the farm.
GOING TO HIS DEATH.
The party Mr. and Mrs. Birchall and
Benwell and Pelly sailed from Liverpool
on the Bntt&nia for this port on February
5, arriving here on Friday, February 14.
They spent Saturday here in transacting a
little business. Birchall in arranging for
the trip to uanada and Pelly and Benwell
in visiting people to whom they had
letters ot introduction. At 5:55 r.
M. on Saturday they left on the
Erie Railroad for Buffalo, and ar
riving there on Sunday morning stopped
at the Stafford House. All had baggage
with them save Ben-ncll, and he had fo'r
warded in bond two bit packages to Clifton,
Ontario, by express. Birchall did not own
a dollar's worth of property in Canada. He
was merely lying out of whole cloth from
day to day.
On Tuesday, February 18, the whole party
went to Cliiton, Ont., just across the Niag
ara river from Suspension Bridge. Birchall
and Pelly went to a boarding house and
Mrs. Birchall stopped at thelniperialHotel.
They lonngcd around for a week, up to
Friday, February 28. Birchall told Pelly
that he had received a letter from London
from Benwell, sending the receipt for Ben
well's bonded luczage, and requesting that
this might be sent to him whenever re
quested. THE MUEDER DISCOVERED.
Finally on February 26 Birchall came to
Pelly with a paper in Ins baud containing
an account of the finding of the murdered
man at Princeton on February 24, with tLe
cizar case near him marked F. C. Benwell.
Pelly was horrified. Birchall said be
would go at once to Princeton and look at
the body. Pelly said he would go, too.
In an hour or so Birchall came to
Pelly and said that he had received
a telegram from the clerk or the Stafford
House at Buffalo saying that Benwell had
gone to New York and desired that all his
luggage be sent to the Fifth Avenue Hotel
there. Pelly posted off to New Aork to see
it Benwell was there and returned without
findinc him. Fireball visited Princeton,
identified Benwell and was arrested. Mrs.
Birchall was arrested a day or so after her
husband.
After Birchall's arrest came the welding
of the chain of circumstantial evidence con
necting him with the murder. First Pellv
told his story of Birchall's continual lies
And deceptions since leaving England, This
was corroborated by scores of persons who
hrd conversations with Birchall.
CLINCHING THE EVIDENCE.
Then George Hay, a brakenian on the
Grand Trunk Railroad, said that on Feb
ruary 17, the dav Benwell and Birchall left
Buffalo to go to" the "stock arm," a man
answering Birchall's description got on his
(Hav's) train at Eastwood station at 3:38 r.
M. The train went to Hamilton, and from
there hetook a train by which hecouldreach
Buffalo at 8 P. m. Hav gave a perfect de
scription of Birchall.'and when brought
face to face with Bischall, declared that he
was indeed the man. This was only a few
miles from where Benwell's body was found.
Some points in Pellv's evidence, as affect
ing Mrs. Birchall, are' worth noticing. He
swore that Mrs. Birchall spoke to him about
the farm, the farmhouse and the servants in
the farmhouse. She told him she was not
well satisfied with either farm life or farm
servants, the former being lonely and the
latter being unsuitable.
After all, how poor was Birchall's reward
for oil his trouble and pains. Colonel Ben
well telegraphs from England that his son
did not have to exceed 20 in monev with
him; so that this sum and Benwell's gold
watch and chain was all that Birchall got.
HDXTIXO F0i: AX0TIIEE YICIIM.
Trjinc to Clear Up lbs Strnneo Disappear
nnee of Neville ricktbalL
Woodstock, Ont., March 8. New and
sensational developments are cropping out
in connection with the Benwell tragedy,
and the question now is whether there has
not been at least two victims.
Some two or three years asro a young
Englishman, Neville H. Pickthall, came
here, and about a year ago purchased a
farm six miles south, and about four months
ago married the daughter of his minister.
On February 10, last, Pickthall raised
510,000 on a mortgage on his farm
and left here, saying to his
wife, "I am going to double this
money before I come back." He was seen
at Niagara Falls that night and said he
was going to New York to meet his sister.
The testimony at the Birchall examina
tion showed that he reached New York, and
there met the Birchalls. Since then no
trace of him has been found and no word
has been received from him.
His disappearance caused a stir at the
time and the police sent a description of
him all over the country. The theory now
is that he was enticed to New York by
Birchall with the expectation of making a
large sum of money and that he was put out
of the way for the money he carried with
him. A search of Birchall's baggage will
be made for anything that might give a
clue to Pickthall's fate.
DAKGEB OX THE MISSISSIPPI.
The Levee Being CoDjtnntly Wntcbed for
Fear of a Tlrenk.
Greenville, Miss., March 8. The
river is still steadily rising, and now stands
at 42 feet, the highest stage by
five inches ever recorded here. "While
the headwaters are falling, the
end of the rise is not passed.
Indications are it will rise here for at least
ten days longer unless there is a crevasse
below." From Greenville south to Mays-
ville the 1882 height is exceeded. Then the
scene of the struggle was along Bolivar
front Now, owing to levees building on the
opposite shore, it is along Washington and
Issaquena until below Maysville.
The line of the levee at all points is being
watcbed, ana tne weaicer low places are
being strengthened. There is small danger
of the levees beicg overtopped. Many
tnoucbt the grade was being raised too inch
but it is not so. The danger is in the hap
pening of the unexpected. There will be
no relaxation ot vicilance. On the watch
being constant and sleepless now depends
the victory.
A DOUBLE CATASTROPHE.
One Sinn Killed by a Train and Another
Drowned.
rSPECIAI. TKLEORAM TO THE DISrATCH.J
YOUNGSTOWN, March 8. John Lovitz,
an employe at the rolling mill, while walk

leaves a wife and six children.
George II. Abrey and William M. George,
two young men, attempted to cross the river
on the ice to where the body of Lovitz was
lying, when the ice gave way, precipitating
both into the water. George succeeded in
getting out. while Abrey was swept under
the ice and drowned. The body was recov
ered an hour later. Abrey was the only
support of a widowed mother. The last
words he uttered as he sank were, "For
God's sake, save me."

NOT ENOUGH GRIT.
Express Company Employes Form a Plot to
Hold Up Trnln,bat Couldn't Keep Tbelr
Courage to tho Sticking Point.
San Francisco, March 8. George W.
Gregory and John R. Ewing were arrested
this afternoon on the charge of robbing
Wells, Fargo & Co. of $200 two months ago.
The men confessed they had engaged in a
plot contemplating an extensive system of
robbery. Gregory was formerly a messen
ger in the employ of Wells, Fargo & Co.,
but resigned his position last December.
Before doing so. however, he ob
tained a key which would unlock
the treasure boxes of the company and
another key which would give him access to
express cars. He took Ewing into his con
fidence, and on January 5 last they boarded
the ferryboat at Oakland, and while Greg
ory kept watch Ewing climbed into the ex
press wagon while the driver was standing
at the horses heads, unlocked the
treasure box and extracted packages
containing $212 which the men escaped
with. While Gregory was in the employ of
the company he secured the combinations of
about forty safes in the country offices of the
company, and the men next attempted to
rob safes at Pataluma, Santa Rosa aud Sac
ramento, hut were unsuccessful, owing to
the combinations having been changed.
They then engaged the services of another
man whose name is unknown and formed a
plan to "hold op" one of the express mes
sengers on the Overland train on its arrival
at Oakland. Their courage failed them as
they were about to execute this plan.
Gregory and Ewing next went to Lathrop
to rob an express car there and were plan
ning to go to Fresno for the same purpose
when they were arrested.
LIVING ON MULES' FLESH,
A Bare Possibility That the Entombed
Miners Still Lire.
rsrnciAi. telegram to the dispatch.i
Wilkesbaere, Pa., March 8. The fate
of the eight men who were entombed in the
South Wilkesbarre shaft five days ago
has not been sealed for good yet.
Workmen who were engaged in laying
pipe from the Stanton mine to the Hill
man mine were startled at 5 o'clock this
evening by loud knocking on the main
water pipe which runs all through the
mines. The men stopped work at once.
George McDonald cried out: "My God,
what can it mean. Is it possible that they
are still alive?" There is good reason to
believe now that they are. If they really
do exist in the land of the livins their
whereabouts at present must be on the top
lift of Hillman vein.
They are able to get air there, but how do
they manage to live? The latter is easy.
The men when they found they were
hemmed in took a mule along with
them to Hillman vein. The mule was
kept for a day or two, and then the men,
finding no release at hand, slaughtered him.
Double efforts will now be put forth to res
cue the men.
A FIGHT WITH RENEGADES.
United States Troop Kill and Captnro
Apncbo Murderers.
Globe, Ariz., March 8. The five rene
gade Apaches, who murdered George Her
bert, a freighter, a week ago, were overtaken
yesterday, on Salt river, 30 miles north of
Globe, by a detachment of troops under
command of Lieutenant James M. Watson,
Tenth Cavalry, and Lieutenant Clark. A
sharp fight ensued, resulting in the killing
of two of the renegades and the capture ot
the other three, one of whom was wonnded.
The troops had traveled over 300 miles of
the roughest country in the Territory in the
skirmish with the Indians, and escaped
without a scratch.
The killed were buried where they fell,
and the prisoners were brought here to-day.
They will be taken to San Carlos to-morrow,
and later will be turned over to the authori
ties of Graham county for trial.
DIVIDED BETWEEN TWO FAMILIES.
Two More Arrests BIndo in n Greatly Mlxed
Up Affair.
The cases of aggravated assault and battery
on February 18, against Officers MeGovern
and Conway, seem to be pretty evenly
divided between the Talty and O'Brien
families, each charging the other with the
attack on the officers, and the officers with
an indiscriminate attack upon the public in
general, and particularly upon the members
of each family. Yesterday Simon and
James Taity, father and son, were taken in
on informations made by Inspector Mc
Aleese for the assault.
A younger son of Talty went into Central
station, last night, and begged for his
brother's release, not knowing that his
father was also in the cooler. Simon
was released on $500 bail furnished by
Judge McKenna, and James on a similar
amount furnished by John O'Neil.

A DECLARATION OP ABSOLUTISM.

in Its Own Juice.
SEW POLICY 0P THE CLERICAL PARTI.
The Tote on the Anti-Anarchist Bill to Test the Got.
ernment's Position.
Emperor "William's recent speech is ex
citing much criticism in Germany and has
complicated the already chaotic condition of
politics there. It is considered to be a
declaration of absolutism, and is conse
quently met with much disfavor by the
Liberals.
rnr cable to the dispatcii.i
Berlin, March8. Copyrisht. Young
Kaiser "Wilhclm is becoming as fond of
speechmaking as of soldiering. Not one
week has passed this year without some sort
of public oration from him to the great dis
turbance of old-fashioned German Tories,
some of whom are beginning to doubt
whether the young man is altogether right
in his royal head. But his speech this week
is at any rate useless, as an indication of
what is really in the mind of the young
monarch, and it has to some extent shown
the actual worth of the loud protestations of
love of the humble subjects of the imperial
speaker.
It is evident from the Bradenbnrg speech
that the Kaiser will not hesitate to follow a
reactionary policy. He practically claims
to be sole judge of what is good for the peo
ple, who must thankfully swallow the
crumbs which fall or are thrown from the
imperial table or politically and socially
starve. ITe thinks the times are not too
modern for playing the part of Frederick
the Great, and is fully prepared to govern
without Parliament if the new Reichstag
should prove intractable.
BISMARCK EXPECTS TROUBLE.
That is the spirit in which he is preparing
himself to meet the representatives of the
people, and it is not surprising that Prince
Bismarck, foreseeing troublous times, has
decided to retain the cares of office, which
it is now an open secret he would prefer to
relinquish.
The official version in the North German
Gazette, instead of modifying, intensifies
the Emperor's declaration of absolutism.
Throughout the speech the Emperor asserted
in the most emphatic language his personal
authority and his responsibility to God. In
the most remarkable passages, which will
be forever memorable, be said: "I see in
the people and the land entrusted to me by
God a talent which, as the Bible says, it is
my duty to increase. I mean with all my
strength to so trade with my talent that I
will be enabled to add many another thereto.
Those who help me I heartily welcome;
those who oppose me I dash to nieces."
The final phrase evoked the liveliest com
ment. The semi-official press holds that it
is not to be regarded as threatening moral
opposition, but merely a violent resistance
to the law.
diverse criticisms.
The Conservative Post hails the speech as
consonant with the spirit that has always
animated the Kings ot Prussia.
Other Conservative papers commend it as
the promise of a vigorous rule, leading to a
strong home and foreign policy that will
keep Germany from the impotence of par
liamentary government like that of France.
The Liberals value the speech as placing
under a white ' light the character of a
monarch who deems himself the sole arbiter
of the nation's destinies, ignoring the fact
that the various parties in the Reichstas
want to carry out their own ideas and not
his, and who is foolish enough to threaten
to aash the people to pieces on the eve of the
meeting of a Parliament in which the Gov
ernment will face a hostile majority.
The Imperial threats find an echo among
the ultra Conservatives. The Pomeranian
Keichspost urges the Emperor to establish a
dictatorship. Other papers advise the sup
pression of universal suffrage and the sus
pension of the sittings of the Reichstag if
the opposition becomes violent.
PLEASANT FOR THE REICHSTAG.
The Rheiniche Westphalisehe Zeitung, a
Bismarckian organ, asserts on authority
that the Chancellor, freely criticising the
result ot the elections, saic: "We shall
leave the new Reichstag to cook in its own
juice."
For the moment party politics in Ger
many are iu a somewhat chaotic state, and
no alliances or combinations are likely to be
formed until some reliable indications have
been given of the imperial programme.
The Government has decided to open the
business of the Reichstag with the projects
prepared by the Council of State, the fore
most ot which are bills regulating work on
Sunday and restricting the hours of labor of
women and children. The more complex
measures, relating to the hours of the
male adults and miners' work day,
will be reserved until the autumn
session. Simultaneously with the pres
entation of social measures, increased
army and colonial credits will be
demanded. There will also be presented a
bill designed to replace the anti-Socialist
law.
THE GOVERNMENT'S POSITION.
It is impossible to foreseehow the hetero.
geneous elements of theReichstag will group
themselves upon the Government's propo
sals. The official expectance is that the
projects of the Council of State will be
quietly discussed and accepted, but that the
army credits and the unti-AnarchUt law
will test the position of the Government to
ward the majority. The Freissinger organs
regard the credits as put forward in order to
force the Center to declare its tactics, and
they predict that it the Centerists throw
their vote against the Government a disso
lution will be immediately pronounced;
Prince Bismarck goiug to the country on
the broad, simple platform of the mainten
ance of the efficiency of the army.
The moderation ot the tone of the Center
ist papers indicates the inteution to form an
alliance with Prince Bismarck if only the
remaining disabilities of the Catholics are
removed.
A REMARKABLE PREDICTION.
The Germania predicts the formation of a
majority which will assist the Government
in social reforms on a Christian basis, the
maintenance ot protectionist duties, the
defense of the rights of the monarchy and
the strengthening of the federal character of
the empire. If this were all the Clerical
party desired a 'coalition of Conservatives
and "Centerists would be assured, but behind
this smooth home programme, the Catholic
leaders conceal a design to try to coerce the
Chancellor into a startling change of foreign
policv affecting the relations ot Italy and
the Vatican.
Although the Clerical press is reserved
on the subject, suggestive allusions con
stantly occur to the resolutions adopted at
recent Catholic congresses in favor of
foreign intervention at Rome. The Cen
terist leaders are too sagacious to insist up
on a change of Prince Bismarck's policy
toward Italy as an immediate condition ot
their support. The first terms asked will
be educational concessions. "When these
shall have been granted whatever pressure
the Centerists can exercise they will concen
trate upon an effort to effect a rupture of
the existing compact with the Quirinal.
THE EMPEROR'S INSPIRATION.
The anti-Anarchist bill is the Emperor's
inspiration, and was assented to hy Prince
Bismarck. It is the anti-Socialist law under
a new name. The exact provisions of the
measure are unknown, but it is understood
that the expulsion clanse of the anti-Social
ist law is omitted, and that the bill permits
a wider freedom of discussion in the press
and on the platform, and enacts severe
penalties against assailants of the Crown
and the Government.
TheCentcrist Westphalisehe Merkur to
day asserts that the Chancellorship crisis is
renewed, and that the retirement of Bis
marck is imminent. The article discloses
the extravagant hopes of the Clericals of the
early triumph of the Vatican.

THAT OHIO LAND C011PABY.
Tho Mannser Denies That It Is an Irre
sponsible Concern He Snys Their
Property Is Not Olortcneed A Pltts
bnrser Blamed for the Rumors.
The statement in yesterday's Dispatch
that the Belgian glass workers of the
Southside were alarmed about the secur
ity of an Ohio concern from which they had
been buying building lots, created no little
excitement among those who had invested
heavily, and those who were about to do so.
The manager of the company referred to
called at this office yesterday, and said that
there is no foundation whatever, for any
fear on the part of the people who have pur
chased lots. The company guarantees a
clear title to everv piece of property sold.
The gentleman continued:
The land in question has never been mort
gaged, as records will show. We heard of these
rumors, however, a few days ago, and had com
menced to investigate tbem for the purpose of
discoverinc the persons who are responsible
for tbem. We will get to the bottom of the mat
ter shortly. 1 think we know who to tie
to even now.but we hav not collected all of the
evidence yet. A prom'nent gentleman on the
Soutbcide interested in real estate in Jeannette
and elsewhere is larcely to blame for the re
ports. Our company was organized December 9,
18S9, with a capital stock of $50,000 We are in
corporated under the laws of the State of Ohio
and the uirectors of onr company are yonng
business men, who have gone to Lancaster to
engage in the manufacture of glass. We con
sider that we have the best investment for glass
workers that can be offered to them, and we
are snDported by all who have visited the place
and who have seen the property.
The manager stated that the proposed
plant is to be in operation by April 1. The
flint house is nearly finished; the furnaces
will be completed in four weeks. A tank
furnace will be added for the manufacture
of jars next year. "When the works are com
pleted, their cost will be $50,000. Lancaster
is the capital of Fairfield county, aud is 31
miles from Columbus.
As an'inducement to those who desire to
investigate the Ohio Company, a free excur
sion will be run to Lancaster next Saturday
for the benefit of those who desire to pur
chase lots.
It is but justice to the company to say
that the information in Consular Agent
Schneider's possession did not come from
Governor Campbell, as was claimed. A
conference between Mr. Schneider and the
Ohio agent was held yesterday afternoon,
and the latter promised to go to Lancaster
and procure the land contract from the
proprietors of the land complex to the com
pany. Mr. Schneider said last evening
that nothing will be done about the matter
until the agent's return. "But," said he,
"until 1 am fully convinced that the enter
prise is founded on a bona fide basis, I will
neither encourage nor discourage the pui
chase of any more of the Ohio lots by my
people."
A SMALL COMMERCIAL FRACAS.
An Arrest Growing Ont of Accusations of
Theft of Groceries.
Officer Snyder, of Allegheny, was re
quested to arrest a man in Marshall's grocery
store, on Ohio street, yesterday afternoon,
who had taken offense at a clerk and called
him some vile epithets which frightened the
customers, many of whom left the store.
The man, whose name is John Trainor,
had purchased several packages of tobacco
and paid for them, and the clerk seeing still
another package in Trainor's pocket, asked
if he did not mean to pay for it when the
boisterous conduct began. Officer Snyder
was then called and he locked Trainor up
for a hearing this morning,

Emmensite, the new Pittsburg explosive,
was tested at Washington yesterday. The
members of the Senate Committee on Naval
Affairs and several foreign representatives
were present. The results secured were
very satisfactory.
CFIIOM A STAFF COItnESPOKPKST.3
"Washington, March 8. An interest
ing series of experiments was made this
afternoon at the "Washington Navy Yard
with the emmensite explosives, the inven
tion of Captain Emmens, of Pittsburg.
Quite a large number of spectators were
present, including the representatives of
several of the foreign legations. In the
upper room of the launch-house a handsome
collation was spread for the benefit of the
invited guests.
MASS IT BIGHT THERE.
In this room Captain Eminent, in the
presence of the spectators, personally mixed
the various ingredients of the emmensite,
and prepared a sufficient supply for the con
duct of the experiments. About 60 pounds of
the explosive was loaded into an ordinary
torpedo, which was then lashed into position
under a raft composed of 40 railroad sleep
ers, strongly riveted together. The raft was
then towed by a launch into the middle of
the stream and the torpedo was fired.
The result was tremendous. No two of
the sleepers remained unseparated and the
majority of them were torn into small
splinters. Meanwhile Captain Emmens
was demonstrating the efficiency of the ex
plosive when used in small arms, by firing
emmciisite cartridges from a revolver. Thick
iron plates were torn into shreds by blasting
charges of emmensite inserted in drills.
Several experiments were successfully con
ducted to show the safety with which tho
explosive can be handled. A shell loaded
with emmensite was fired from a cannon
against an iron tarzet. The shell broke,
but there was no explosion.
A PERFECT SUCCESS.
Lighted tapers were applied to piles of
the explosives, but without effect. All the
experiments tried were perfectlv successful
and Captain Emmens was highly cum pi i
mented upon his discovery. As as explo
sive the emmensite is as powerful as
dynamite or nitro-glycerine. with the ad
vantage that it can be handled with much
greatpr safety. The only method by
which it can be exploded is by the
application of fulminate of mercury,
and it is consequently safer to handle than
any other explosive at present known, it
being also smokeless, sives it another great
advantage in its application to small arms
and artillerv.
Besides the representatives of the press,
there were present at the experiments, the
members of the Senate Committee on Naval
Affairs, Messrs Pettit and Chipley, of the
Pennsylvania railroad, and others.

miOM A STAFF COBHESPOXPKNT.I
"Washington. March 8. Colonel Mer
rill, the United States Engineer in charge
of the Pittsburg district, appeared to-day by
invitation before the Rivers and Harbors
Committee, and explained the method of
building the movabU dam at Davis Island,
on the Ohio river, and the use to which it is
put. The committee had requested him to
come here and made this statement because
there are a number of projects in different
parts of the country pending before them, in
which it is proposed to make use of this sys
tem and they desired to become familiar
with it.
Colonel Merrill was highly complimented
at the conclusion of his address upon the
clearness with which he had explained the
operations of the dam, and also upon the
success which had attended his work upon
it. He has recommended, in his annual re
port, the building of four more dams of the
same kind between Davis Island and
Wheeling, at a cost of about 5900,000 each,
and it is probable that an appropriation for
one of these will be incluued in the river
and harbor bill now in course of prepara
tion. CALL CALLED DOWN.

"Washington, March 8. The Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections to
day had under consideration the resolution
offered by Mr. Chandler in respect to the in
terpolation by Mr. Call of certain remarks
in his speech on the murder of "W. B.
Saunders, in Florida a week or two ago.
Mr. Chandler charged that Mr. Call did
not utter one on the floor of the Sen
ate, that the record was made to say
he did, and he asked the Committee on
Privileges and Elections to reyjort whether
or not that was cause for censuring Mr. Call,
and also to report to what extent a Senator
may go in debate and keep within Parlia
mentary bounds.
Mr. Call attacked the accuracy of the rq
port of his speech, but the committee de
cided to recommend that the record of that
day's proceedings shall contain the report of
Mr, Call's speech according to the notes of
the official reporter.
TWO SENATORS AT STAKE.
Three Reports to be Presented on the Mon
tnnn Contested Election Cases.
Washington, March 8. The Senate
Committee on Privileges and Election", after
a long session to-day, finally reached a de
cision in the case of the contested
Montana Senatorship, and by a party
vote decided to recommend to the Sen
ate that Power and Saunders, the
Republican Senators, be seated. Mr. Gray,
it is expected, will prepare the report of the
minority. The presentation of the reports
will be the signal for an extended debate,
and it may be several weeks before the
Senate will reach a vote on the subject.
Senator Turpie did not agree with either
the majority or minority, but was of opinion
that no election of Senators had been ac
complished, and that the case should be re
mitted to the State of Montana for action.
He may make an Independent report to that
effect.

Washington, March 8. With the end
of the investigation of the Civil Service
Commission Frank Hatton, who has been
the sole prosecuting counsel, delivered a
parting shot in an article in the Post of to
dav, in which Commissioners Roosevelt and
Thompson are directly accused of having
aided Colonel Foulke, the Indiana
civil service reformer, in preparing an
article savagely attacking President Harri
son and other high officials, and accusing
them of engaging iu a conspiracy to thwart
and break down civil service reform. The
article was published over Foulke's name in
the St. Louis Republic and New York Times.
Mr. Hatton asserts that he can prove that
Roosevelt and Thompson aided Foulke in
the preparation of this matter.
Roosevelt and Thompson both stated to
day that the allegation was absolutely false.
Foulke was not m the city, but his private
sccretarv declares that the statement is false.
As Mr. Hatton says he has proof for what
he says, there may be more music over the
affair. The investigation of the Civil
Service Commission has developed posi
tivelv nothing beyond he fact that
the Commissioners themselves at times
acted with poor judgment. and
absolutely nothing was brought out which
weakened in the least the principles upon
which the new civil service is founded. In
this respect it is admitted on all sides that
the investigation was a flat failure.
The spoilsmen have gained nothing, and
if they have shown any thing at all vital,
it is that Presidents have sought out and
appointed commoners who were not wholly
in sympathy with the reform, or who were
so dishonest as to evade their sworn duty in
the interests of their own favorites or the
favorites ot influential politicians.

of Ecctltnde.
Al Graham,defaultingAuditorof Warren

imprisonment for 18 years, and to pay a
fine of $126,422 18. This is double the
amount of his peculations. A plea for
clemency fell upon deaf ears.
rSPXCTJlt. TXLXGBAH TO TOT DMrATCH.1
Lebanon, O., March 8. Big-hearted Al
Grahjm, the whilom, dashing and default
ing Auditor of Warren county, stood up in
a brand new and faultless fitting suit of
clothes this morning and took his medicina
without a murmur. The dose was of allo
pathic size, and caused a flutter in tha
crowded court room.
"The sentence of the Court is," said
Judge White, in a firm tone, "that yon ba
imprisoned in the penitentiary for tha
period of 18 years and pay a fine of f 126,
422 18."
HE PLEADED GUILTY.
Graham entered a plea of guilty to tha
indictment charging him with aiding and
abetting the embezzlement of $63,211 09.
To the 16 other indictments for receiving
payment on false vouchers, he entered a
plea of not guilty. Before sentence was
tiassed he made a statement to the Court
confessing his complicity in the embezzle
ment of public money, but denied that ha
bad received the amounts charged against
him. The fraudulent school warrants, ha
said, were given to Coleman to be used as
cash in Coleman's settlement as treasurer
with the Commissioners.
Coleman had been speculating in stocks
and begged Graham with tears in his eyes
to save him from rnin and disgrace. Gra
ham said be had never received a cent of
the warrants entered in the blank space
above the Commissioners' names in tha
Treasurer's book. He also said his signature
in that settlement was a forgery. Graham
said that on the morning he left Lebanon,
Coleman came to his house and made a
proposition to buy off the investigating;
committee.
NOT MUCH OF A BEIBE.
He told Coleman he could do but little, as
he had only 15 cents. He drove to the
Court House alterward and Coleman sent
out a roll of $300, which was to be used to
buy off the committee, but Graham took tha
money and used it in his flight from
town. During his statement to the
court Graham was the cynosure of all, but
he never once faltered or manifested tha
least excitement His voice was the same
as it nsed to ring out merrily in the long
corridor of the Court House for so many
years while he was auditor.
Graham had for his attorneys, J. Kelly
O'Neil, W. L. Dechant and J. A. Banyan.
The latter made a powerful ana elo
quentanpealforclemency whichbrought out
Prosecuting Attorney Anderson in a sharp
reply on behalf of the State Treasurer, Cole
man, who was implicated with Graham in
the steal, was convicted the other day and
sentenced to two and one-half years in tha
penitentiary and fined $32,000.
MONEY MAKES THE MARE GO.
It
