TOBACCO TO BE CHEAPER HEREAFTER
The revenue bill prepared by the Bepub
lican members of the "Ways and Means
Committee is practically completed, and its
chief features follow. It is expected to
make a reduction of $00,000,000 on both the
tariff and internal features. Hall of this
will come from sugar. The duties on farm
products and some manufactures arc in
creased. The metal schedule is changed in
both directions.
ifrrciAt. TELconAM to the DtsrATcn.1
"Washington, March 18. At last the
new tariff bill is laid before the world. The
Bepnblican members of the "Ways and
Means Committee have been all yesterday
and to-day closeted in one of the seldom
used committee rooms in the basement in
the Capitol settling their differences and
putting the finishing touches on their
forthcoming tariff bill.
Undoubtedly the feature which caused
the most trouble was the sugar schedule,and
ana the agreement upon it is not yet unani
mous. Mr. Clunie, of California, strongly
opposed it and urged the retention of a
higher duty upon this article. He was,
however, voted down, and the bill when
reported will propose an average cnt all
through the sugar schedule of 60 per cent.
$30,000,000 Redaction on Sugrnr Alone.
This means a reduction of revenue
from this source
$30,000,000. Mr.
of something ';over
Coleman, the lone
Louisiana, says that
Bepnblican from
if this proposition is retained in the
bill he will vote against its passage. Mr.
Peters, of Kansas, and Mr. Clunie, of Cali
fornia, will also both vote against the bill
on account of this cut on sugar.
Mr. Peters said to-day that he thought
there would be about seven of the "Western
Republican members of the House voting
with the Democrats to defeat the bill for
this reason alone, but if a caucus is held, as
the Republican leaders contemplate, it is
questionable if so many will be able to hold
out against the party lash. Messrs. Morrill
and Funston and Perkins, of Kansas, all
Republicans, of whom it was said that they
might join the "kickers" on account of in
terest their States have in the sorghum and
beet sugar industries, said to-day that they
would support the bill, and were in favor of
a total abolition of the sugar duties.
Some Features Still Unsettled.
The bill will be presented to the full com
mittee in a day or two. The clauses relating
to carpet wools, Mexican lead ores andoneor
two other articles have not yet been finally
and definitely passed upon. "While the bill
is not absolutely completed, and will, of
course, be subject to revision, it is believed
to be substantially a finished measure so far
as the majority of the committee is con
cerned. The internal revenue features of
the bill are as follows:
The entire abolition of all special taxes upon
dealers of all kinds, commonly known as
licenses; the tax upon snuff will be repealed:
farmers and planters growing tobacco will have
the liberty to sell to -whomsoever they please,
without restraint, in the same, manner as any
farmer can dispose of any other of the products
of his land.
Clears nt the Same Figure.
The tax upon manufactured tobacco will be
reduced from 8 cents to 4 cents a pound; cigars,
cheroots and cigarettes will carry the same tax
as is imposed under the present law. Alcohol
used in the arts is free under substantially the
same restrictions as are prescribed In the Sen
ate bill. The reductions in the revenue fiom
these sources will be in round numbers be
tween $17,000,060 and $19,000,000.
The following are the principal provisions
in the tariff schedules:
The earth, earthenware ana classware sched
ules remain substantially as in the existing
law. There are a number of important changes
In the metal schedule. Existing rates are
maintained upon iron ore and pig Iron. Barbed
'wire for fencing is made dutiable at 610c a
pound, which is below the duty upon that kind
of iron enterinc into other uses. Beams, gird
ers and structural iron is reduced from ljc to
C-lOc a pound, which is a reduction below that
of the Senate bill.
Knllwny Tron nnd Steel Ralls.
Railway iron is reduced 6-10c a pound, the
present rate being 17 a ton, a reduction of
about S4 a ton, and a reduction In the rate fixed
by the Senate bill. The duty on steel rails is
reduced U a ton.
The duty on tin plate has been increased to
2 2-10 cents a pound. Fig tin remains free. It
is believed that with this encouragement our
tin plate will be manufactured in this country.
Already we make the sheet iron and sheet steel,
which is U5 per cent, of the tin plate, and with
the assurance that there is tin in the Black
Hills, it is thought a great industry will
spring up.
There is an increase in the dnty upon pocket
cutlery, which the committee justify upon the
ground of the depressed condition of that in
dustry in the United States, and the sharp and
ruinous competition that has already been felt
LiiiiiHEssF SMlsJslHilttiBBBsiUBBi WMi"WWsBMsMtWMMBMMsjMsWBBBBiMl
from Germany. Gun barrels are placed upon
the free list, Hand sewing needles are also
placed upon the free list. The new metal,
aluminum, is given a designation for the first
time under "metals and manufactures," and is
made dutiable at 35 per cent ad valorem.
A Bis Cat an Lumber.
In the lumber schedule the duty on sawed
boards, planks and finished lumber is reduced
SO per cent, from the present rate. There is a
special provision inserted that in case Canada
lays an export duty upon lumber then duties
shall be collected according to the rates under
existing law.
Tho dnty on Sumatra tobacco is increased to
f2 75 per pound. There is an increase generally
along the entire list in the duties upon agricul
tural products. The dnty upon barley is raised
to 30 cents a bnshel. hops to IS cents a pound,
buckwheat to 15 cents a bushel, macaroni and
vermicelli 2 cents a pound, oats 10 cents a
bushel. The duty on agricultural seeds is in
creased. The duty on rice is reduced from 2 cents to
2 cents a pound: rice flour and rice meal from
1 cent to three-f onrtbs of a cent a pound, and
broken rice to one-half cent a pound. Butter
and substitutes therefor have the duty in
creased to 6 cents a pound.
Protection for the Eccs.
The duty on eggs is raised to 5 cents a dozen ;
potatoes to 25 cents a bushel. Hides, which
are now on the free list, are made dutiable at
1 cents a pound. There is a small increase in
the duty on fruits. Oranges and lemons, in
packages of i cubic feet or less, 25 cents per
package; in packages exceeding V and not
exceeding 2 cubic feet, 50 cents a package.
Raisins 2X cents a pound duty. Advances in
duties have generally been conceded the farm
ing interests where it is believed increased
duties will benefit the farmer.
Spirits, wines and other beverages have been
left as found in existing law. Salt also has not
been touched. Cotton manufactures are left
substantially as in the Senate bilk Jute,
manilla, sun and sisal grass are put upon the
free list, as is wool de gras, which enters into
the finishing of leather. A reduction Is made
in the duty on binding twine.
The Scuednle on Wools.
In the wool schedule, wools of the first class,
known as clothing wools, 11 cents a pound;
wools of the second class, known as combing
wools, 12 cents; carpet wools, valued at 12 cents
or less, 3 cents a pound; valued at over 12 cents,
8 cents a pound. This is a reduction of IK
cents a pound from the Senate bill and an in
crease of IK cents from the present law. It is
believed, however, that the definitions and
classifications and restrictions provided for
will malfe the duty even more valuable to the
wool growers than the duty fixed by the Senate
bilk
In the Mills bill wool was put on the frco
list and the duty given to the manufacturers of
woolen fabrics was from 40 to 45 per cent As
this bill makes wool dutiable it gives compen
sation to the manufacturers for the duty im
posed upon wool. Th: difference between the
duty given the manufacturers by the Mills
bill and tho proposed measure is only 10 per
cent.
An Increased Rate on Clothing.
After giving to the manufacturers a compen
satory duty for the duty upon wool, yarns and
cloths are made dutiable at 40 per cent ad
valorem additional, woolen goods at 60 per
cent and ready-made clothing at 60 per cent
The carpet schedule has not yet been definitely
arranccd. It is understood, although there is
some division in the committee on the subject,
for the encouragement of silk culture in the
United States, a duty will be recommended
upon raw silk.
Sugar, under and including 16 Dutch stand
ard, is made dutiable at 35 per cent, and above
16 Dutch standard at 40 per cent. This elves 5
per cent additional duty to the refiners, and
as the standard is raised from 13 to 16 the peo
ple of the United States will be enabled, in
case tho refiners combine to put up the prices,
to import sugar which will be in every way fit
iur lamuy use. inn is a cut in toe antics
upon sugar of from 60 to 60 per cent. Molasses
is made dutiable at 25 per cent ad valorem, the
present rate oeing specinc. xnis is a consid
erable reduction.
A Q action to be Settled.
The committee b&s not yet settled what
duties shall be levied npon lead ores, this
being one of the few matters yet to be defi
nitely patsed upon. Among the new
legislative provisions proposed in the bill is
one that no importations shall be made into
the United States, which do not show
plainly the country from which they are
imported. This is done in order to put a
stop to the practice which has become very
common of sending foreign goods into the
United States with American brands
thereon, the purpose being to deceive the
public and have the wares snpplant
American goods which have established
reputations.
The bill also repeals that section of the
statute which gives to the United States
and contractors under it the right to import
supplies into this country free of dutv. By
this means it is intended to require the
United States and all of its officers and
contractors to be bound by the laws which
it established for its citizens.
The Entire Estimated Redaction.
It is estimated by the fratners of the bill
that it will reduce the revenue about SG0,
000.000. Of this reduction from $26,000,000
to 27,000,000 will be secured by the duty on
sugar and from $17,000,000 to $19,000,000
by the internal revenue features of the bill.
The free list, which contains, with a few
exceptions, all the items in the Senate bill
and a few others which were not in the
Senate bill, will, it is estimated, make a re
duction of between $1,250,000 and $1,500,000.
The revisions made throughout the tariff
schedules are expected to make up the dif
ference between the sums named and
$00,000,000.
TEACI VERY INDIGNANT
At the Cureless Action of the Commander
of the Despatch.
fmOMA STAFF C0BKESP03TOENT.1
"Washington, March 18. Advices from
Fortress Monroe state that Secretary Tracy
is very much disgusted at the command, or
rather lack or command, of the United States
steamer Despatch, which ran aground at
Bower Cedar Point Saturday evening with
him and some friends aboard. The Secre
tary was on his way to the Norfolk Navy
Yard to inquire personally into the delay
in finishing the Baltimore, and during a
little blow was rnn into the mud, where
he stuck until he and his party were
taken off yesterday by the Fish Commission
steamer. The accident was the result, it is
said, of a mistake on the part of the steers
man in sighting Mathias Point Lighthouse
for Smith's Point. The channel at that part
of tbe river is very crooKea, nut Is quite
deep, and nothing short of leaving the chan
nel banks and running full head upon the
comparatively low water on either side
could result in such a firm implantation of
the vessel.
The wind could not possibly blow enough
water out of a channel to make it unnavi
gable. Of conree, there Is talk floating
around about an investigation into the cause
of the accident, but inasmuch as the Secre
tary is the man to decide whether or not
such a course is advisable, and as he is now
in Norfolk, nothing definite concerning this
matter can well be learned at present. It
now looks as thongh the accident would
cost the department quite a sum, although
no danger is anticipated to the vessel her
self. Her boats were carried away on the
night of the accident but have since been
recovered. The Triton has been engaged in
carrying supplies to the Despatch.

THE COKPSE MISSING.
Scranton Relatives of Mrs. Thomas
Bogges Anxious to Know
WHAT HAS BECOME OP THE BODY.
It Was Shipped From Allegheny, bnt Dis
appeared En Route.
THE HUSBAND ALSO FAILS TO APPEAR.
Huallton's Chief or Folice Orders His Arrest Tending
an leanest.
The body of Mrs. Thomas Bogges, or
Bodgers, as she was known here, which was
shipped from Allegheny to Scranton, has
not reached the latter place. Neither has
the husband been soen by the dead woman's
relatives.
ISrSCUL TKLEOKAM TO THB DISPATCH.:
Scranton, March 18. The mysterious
disappearance of the dead body of Emily
Bogges, which was shipped from Allegheny
City or Pittsburg to Scranton, is causing a
diligent inquiry among the police authori
ties. They had been warned to be on the
lookout for the corpse, and to arrest and
hold Thomas Bogges, the husband of the
woman, on the charge of murder. Death
had been due, it was alleged, to poisoning,
either by or through the aid of the husband.
The body was being forwarded to the ad
dress of Milford Fletcher, North Back
Boads, Scranton. The advices regarding
the shipment ot the body came from Chief
of Police McKinnon, of Hamilton, Ont., and
further said:
AN INQUEST ORDERED.
Have an inquest and post mortem and hold
Bogges. pending the inquest. This is import
ant, and act quickly, as wo have facts hero
which Justify the advised action.
Every train arriving here last night and
to-day from tbe "West has been watched,
but neither the body of the woman nor her
living husband have reached here. "Where
the body can be is just now an unsolvable
mastery, as no further advices concerning
it have been received. It has been ascer
tained, however, that a rough box, believed
to contain a corpse, was taken from a Penn
sylvania Bailroad train at Northumberland
last evening and transferred to the Lacka
wanna and Bloomsburg train leaving for
Scranton, but tbe baggage master will give
no information as to where it was unloaded,
except to say that it did not quite reach this
place.
HER RELATIVES SUSPICIOUS.
Milford Fletcher, to whom the body was
shipped, is a farmet on the highway connect
ing the Keyser Valley positions of the Hyde
Park and promenade sections of the city.
The woman, Emily Bogges, is his sister.
Her age was about 31 years. She was mar
ried to Bogges several years ago, going with
him to live in Pittsburg, where they re
mained nearly three years, and from there to
Hamilton, Ont., from which place they are
said to have returned to Allegheny quite re
cently. It is alleged that Bogges threatened vio
lence to the woman repeatedly, and that
previous to leaving Hamilton the sudden
and almost fatal sickness of his wife caused
much alarm to her relatives, and when her
sudden death was reported to them on Sun
day they at once decided that there was foul
play.
THE SONG OF THE SHIRT
Is Snnc In n. New York Court Room by
Striking Operatives.
rSFECIAI. TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
New York. March 18. The Fourth dis
trict court room was crowded to-day with
striking shirtmakers in attendance upon
the State arbitrators' investigation into the
trouble between the operatives, the
contractors and the warehousemen. The
Shirtmakers' Union, which brought about
tha present strike, was represented by Law
yer Levine and a committee of threes The
contractors were represented by Law
yer E. S. Moshbir. The shirt
manufacturers had no lawyer.
Mr. Levine said that the grievances against
which the operatives had struck were low
wages, long hours, irregnlar payments and
extortionate charges, such as $3 per month
for the rental of a sewing machine. The
large manufacturers buy tbe material
and cnt it, and then give it out
to other people to be made up in small shops
or in private houses. It was said to-day by
a manufacturer that 60,000 hands were cm
ployed in this work in New York. The
great bulk of the 'work is given
ont to the middle men. The trouble
arises from the doings of the smaller
contractors. The demands of the union
for IS per cent increase in wages, the
furnishing of machines by contractors, the
payment of wages weekly and limiting of a
days' work to 10 hours are directed princi
pally against this class of employers and the
whole trade is on strike because the con
tractors, big and little, have formed an or
ganization, and are hanging together
against the demands of the union.
LIMA OIL JUMPING.
Tbe Buckeye ripe Line Company Now Pay
ins 25 Cents Per Barrel.
tSFBCIAt. TELEGRAM TO THI DISPATCH.!
Lima, O., March 18. The price of Lima
crude oil was advanced again 2 cents by the
Buckeye Pipe Line Company to-day, mak
ing the present price 25 cents per barrel.
This move will force eeveral of the inde
pendent comrjanies in this field to pay 27
cents for production, as they have agreed in
leases to pay an advance of 2 cents over
tbe price paid by tbe Standard Company.
Tbe farmers are the ones that are reaping
the fruit of the advance.
PREFECT KING AEEAIGNED.

Philadelphia, March 18. Henry "W.
King, Prefect of the Pennsylvania Institute
for the Blind, was to-day arraigned before
Judge Arnold on the bill of indictment
charging him with a serions crime, and en
tered a plea of not guilty. Monday next
was fixed as tbe date for the trial.

THEY COULD NOT AGEEE.
Prince Bismarck Resigned Because He Ob
jected to Granting the Demands of
the Clerical Pnrty The Em
peror Wants to Concil
iate All Liberals.
Beelin, March 18. Emperor "William
has accepted Prince Bismarck's resignation.
All the members of the Ministry have also
resigned, but it is merely the customary
formal act, although it is reported that
Count Herbert Bismarck and Minister
Haybach really intended to resign.
The present difference between the Em
peror and Prince is said to be irreconcilable.
It arises from the Chancellor's refusal
to accede to a request made by
Dr. "Windthorsi, the leader of the
Clerical party in Germany, to re
store to the Duke ot Cumberland,
the claimant to the throne of Hano
ver, the larger portion of the Guelph fnnd.
The attitude of the Emperor in opposing
Prince Bismarck in this matter is taken as
un indication of bis desire to conciliate the
Clerical party. If the Government is to
secure a working majority in the new Beich
stng it cannot well get on without the party
of the Center, which Dr. "Windthorst con
trols. Herren Bickert and Goldschmidt and
other Freissinge Deputies were invited to
the court banquet to-night. Never before
has a member of the Freissinge party been
thus honored. It is stated' that Freissinge
Prof. Handel and Herr Miquel will be in
vited to enter the Cabinet as an earnest of
the Emperor's desire to legislate for the
people.
The Tagblatt attributes Prince Bismarck's
resignation entirely to the social legislation
question.
The Bourse was only slightly affected by
the Chancellor's resignation.
SHOOTING MEXICAN BANDITS.
Fifty of Them Executed in nn Informal
Mnnner In a Few Months.
rSFXCIAL TELEGRAM TO TBI DISrATClM
San Felipe, Mex., March 2. This
country is a mining region about 7,000 feet
above the sea, and its great elevation gives
it a temperate climate, though it is within
the tropics. Just now the attention of the
Government is being directed to the sup
pression of almost innumerable cases of
brigandage and wholesale highway robbery.
The people seem possessed of an almost ir
resistible tendency to form banditti and un
der the pretense of engaging in a revolu
tion, to pillage small towns, mining camps,
ranches, and any people they find with val
uables and who are without means of de
fense. The result is that, though there is no
such penalty as capital punishment on the
statute book's of this nation, the men who
are proved guilty of these crimes very
promptly suffer the extreme penalty.
During the past five months, within a
radius of 30 miles from this place.over CO men
have met their death at the hands either of
the State or national soldiers. The proced
ure is as follows: Those suspected ot com
mitting acts of brigandage are taken before
the nearest tribunal, and if found guilty
are escorted by a squad of soldiers to some
jail at a considerable distance from the
place of their arrest, under tbe plea that it
is necessary to take them a good ways off
fof better security. At the bugle call at
sunrise or sunset they meet their fate. The
report invariably is that they tried to escape
and were therefore shot.
LOYE'S RUGGED COURSE.
A Tonne German's Difficulty With ITIs Best
Girl and Her Sister.
New Yoek, March 18. Among the paj
sengers on the Scandinavia, which arrived
hereto-day, were Herdwig Engenbrunde,
aged 20, her sister, Marie, aged 30, and
Hermann "Wallis. They came from Pem
mern, Germany. The trio were detained at
Castle Garden on account of the possibility
of some of them becoming a publio charge.
The man and the younger of the two women
are lovers and came to this country to get
married. During the voyage the elder sis
ter interfered and the girl broke off the en
gagement The man has a farm in Minne
sota and has just returned from a visit to
the Fatherland where he fell in love with
the girl. He consented to bring along the
elder sister and now he is sorry for it.
The elder sister is said to be wild and
careless. The younger girl has got posses
sion of Hermann's jewelry and clothing and
will not return them. The Commissioners
of Emigration will be called upon to settle
the difficulty. It is probable that the mat
ter will end in a marriage and that the elder
sister will be returned to Germany.
TWO MILES A MINUTE.
The Rapid Rate at Which Ice Yachts DIovo
In Minnesota.
1SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
St. Paul, March 18. "Wayzata, Lake
Miunetonka, is becoming the headquarters
for a fleet of ice yachts, which is rapidly
growing ip size as the exciting sport be
comes better known. The large like is now
covered with clear ice two feet thick and
absolutely unencumbered with snow. Ice
yachting even beats toboggan speed. Tbe
other day Captain "West and Mr. Loring
had a race from "Wayzata to Excelsior and
return, a distance of 11 miles.
Captain "West won by half a minute,
making tbe distance in the incomprehensi
ble time of 6 minutes and 26 seconds.
"When it is considered that this means
nearly two miles a-minute, or 103 miles an
hour, the extraordinary rapidity with
which these boats step over the ice can be
appreciated.
ENGLISH MINERS CONFIDENT.
It Is
Extremely Probable That Their
Demands Will be Acceded to.
London, March 18. It is the general
opinion that the striking miners of Great
Britain will succeed in forcing the masters
to concede their demands for an immediate
advance of 5 per cent in their wages and a
further advance of 5 per cent on July 1.
Many more mine owners in Nottingham and
Lancashire have acceded to the terms of the
men.
The feeling prevails that the action yes
terday of the coal mine owners, who after
deciding to refuse their employes' demands
for increased wages, appointed a committee
to confer with a committee of the men on
Thursday and endeavor to secure joint
action for the regulation of work and the
avoidance of strikes in the future, will be
productive of no results, as the men will not
meet their masters, but will insist upon
their full demands being granted.
ANOTHER MUEDER MISTERT.
Chlcnco Officers Are Now Looking; for the
Assassin of Mrs. Bingham.
Chicago, March 18. The police are
now working on a clew to the effect that
Mrs. Jennie Bingham, whose body was
found lying in Garfield avenue Sunday
night was robbed and then murdered. Her
sister, Mrs. Parks, says that whjsn she left
their lodgings Mrs. Bingham bacj a watch
and chain, five gold rings and some money
on her person. When found all of these
things weie missing except one ring.
Mrs. Bingham was separated (rom her
husband, of whom she was rreAtlv afraid.

A COMCIL OF WAK.
Democratic Leaders Gather at Phila
delphia to Perfect the
PLANS FOE THE COMIfiG CANVASS.
Personal Preferences Will bo Laid Aside,
bat the Candidate
MUST BE FATORABLE TO CLEVELAND.
Eeports.From AH Orer the State Cause a Feeling
of Hopefulness.
The State Democratic leaders consulted
together yesterday, and decided to waive all
personal preferences in the choice of a can
didate for Governor. Fifteen names were
considered, but no conclusion was reached.
It was decided to work energetically at per
fecting the party organization.
rSFZCIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, March 18. Ex-Congressman
"William L. Scott, of Erie; Con
gressman "William Mutchler, of the Eighth
Pennsylvania district; State Senator George
Boss, of'Bucks county; ex-State Senator
Eckly B. Coxe, "William U. Hensel, Lan
caster; ex-Postmaster "William F. Harnty,
Benjamin F. Meyers, of Harrisburg, and
John B. Beed, of this city, all of whom are
recognized Democratic leaders,met this even
ing by appointment for the purpose of dis
cussing the present political situation and
to endeavor to agree upon a suitable candi
date for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor. Ex-Senator "WUliam A. "Wallace, who
has been all along regarded as the leading
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for Governor, did not put in an appearance
at the conference, but this morning after a
talk with Benjamin F. Meyers, of Harris
burg, who has long been considered one of
Mr. Wallace's most intimate friends, the
ex-Senator took an early train for New
York, and up to midnight had not yet re
turned. QUITE A LONG LIST.
There was lots of plain talking regarding
,the candidates who have been announced
for the Democratic nomination, and the con
ference, which began at 850 and ended at
1250, considering names of at least 15 of the
most prominent Democrats of the State, who
are considered as available timber for the
nomination of Governor. None of those who
were participants in the conference had
any special candidate to propose, and while
a number of them freely expressed their
personal preferences and individual choice,
there was unanimous assent to the proposi
tion that success in the campaign could only
be obtained by a harmonious convention
and a nomination for Governor made with
substantial unanmity.
One of the subjects which was thoroughly
discussed by tbe conferees was that of the
time for the holding of the State Convention
and the agreement on this point was that it
would be inadvisable to hold the convention
earlier than the month of August, the
thought being that by that time the politi
cal situation would 'have developed suffi
ciently to allow the Democratic leaders to
take advantage of any political mistakes
whlc the Republicans might make.
PERFECTING THE ORGANIZATION.
The new plan of organizing the State by
subdividing it into districts with division
chairmen was the subject of prolonged dis
cussion. It was resolved to assist the dis
trict chairmen in every effort to organize the
party in detail. The situation in Philadel
phia was gone over, and tbe leaders of the
interior of the State promised every assist
ance to the local leaders in their efforts to
have a clean, pure and strong local organi
zation. The reports made by the leaders outside
of the city regarding the condition of tbe
party organization in the interior of the
State were of the most flattering character,
and tne impression was created that the
Democrats ot the State, by the exercise of
discretion in the selection of the candidate
for Governor, can make a win
ning fight at the polls in November
next. As an evidence of the
feeling on this subject it can be positively
said that it was felt by all the participants
in the conference that the present was an
occasion above all others when the nomina
tion must be the outcome of real party senti
ment and the spontaneous offering of the
Democrats of the State.
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
Mr. Scott, Mr. Coxe and others, who were
interviewed after the party bad separated,
were very emphatio in declaring that the
Gubernatorial nomination this year
in Pennsylvania had no relation whatever
to the election of delegates to the National
convention in 1892. There was but one
sentiment among the participants in the
conference relative to the nomination for
President, and that was that in the situa
tion existing at present Mr. Cleveland's was
the only name seriously considered by the
great m.isscs of the party in Pennsylvania.
"While it was declared by the conferees
that the question of the nomination for
Governor was in no way connected with the
election of national delegates yet the pre
vailing impression among the local active
workers is that no candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor will
have his name seriously considered in con
nection with tbe nomination unless he is
known to favor Cleveland's nomination for
President.

THOMAS IS TOO COY,
And Befnscs to Wod a Lady Who Is Pre
pared to Fay nil Expenses.
New York, March 18. A unique breach
of promise is that of 35-year-old Miss
Isabella Brady against Thomas Has
kill, a Harlem musician. The lady asked
for 510,000. The case was in court to-day.
The plaintiff has an independent fortune,
while the man is said to be a deserter from
the British army. Miss Isabella also, it is
said, spent much money to get him pardoned
for that offense.
Thomas begs to be excused, but Miss
Brady says she has purchased an expensive
trousseau, and spent $2,000 to iurnish a
house, and purchased a wedding ring for
517. In 1888 Thomas declined positively
to marry her. Haskell claims she did the
wooing ana ue Has not said yes.

rSFECIAI. TELEOEAM TO THE DtSPATCn.l
Hackensack, N. J., March 18. Miss
Elizabeth Hering, aged 20, died at 5 o'clock
on Friday afternoon. She had been ill with
measles six days, but was apparently recov
ering. During Friday she was in particu
larly good spirits, and she ate a very hearty
dinner. At 5 o'clock she complained of
feeling ill, and Dr. Eichter, of Carstadt,who
was in the vicinity, was called in. "When
he saw Miss Hering he pronounced her
dead. Undertaker William Furby, of
Hackensaek, had charge of the funeral,
which was held on Snnday, and was attend
ed by a large number of neighbors, as Miss
Hering was an exceedingly amiable girl
with many friends.
As the body lay in the coffin the face bore
an unusually natural expression. A clear,
rosy tint was on the cheeks and this gave
rise to comment among the neighbors as to
whether the young woman was really dead.
The parents were spoken to, and advised to
defer burial until all doubt had been re
moved. They, however, were satisfied and
the funeral took place. The neighbors
were far from being appeased, and their
discussion of the subject became so em
phatic tbatMr. Hering was threatened with
violence if he refused to have the remains
exhumed. He is a man of fair intelligence,
and he was exceedingly annoyed by the
conduct of his neighbors, but believing they
would carry out their threats, he had the
body taken up to-day and placed in the re
ceiving vault of the New York Cemetery,
near Little Ferry.
Dr. Bichter visited the vault at the re
quest of the family, and he assured a large
number of neighbors who were present that
there was no doubt that t,he young woman
was dead. This somewhat calmed their ex
citement, but many of them were still of the
belief that Miss Hering was buried alive.
The body is still in the receiving vault,
and Superintendent Hopper, of the ceme
tery, is besieged by crowds of people from the
surrounding country importuning him for
permission to look at the remains.
BALFOUR WILL NOT MAEEY
Because Ho Is Too Slothful to Get Up to
Breakfast.
BT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.
London, March 18. Secretary Balfour's
marriage has fallen through. It is said that
Miss Margot Tennant changed her mind be
cause she would like to have a lover capable
of giving more time to his sweetheart and
less tims to reviling Ireland. Miss Tennant
has warm sympathy for Irish wrongs, is an
ardent advocate of home rule and is called
in her own family "The Little Bebel."
On the other hand, Balfour is not sorry to
remain single. He says that marriage
means getting up to breakfast. At a recent
Cabinet Council he told Lord Salisbury and
the Chancellor that he considered the tradi
tional sluggard who complained "you have
woke me too soon, I must slumber again,"
was the most maligned person in history.
AVhen asked why he did not take his re
pose in the Upper House instead of the
lively work in the Commons, as he had only
to ask Uncle Salisbury for a peerage, he re
plied: "That's a different thing entirely. I
have a mission to perform, to make Ireland
loyal. That accomplished, I am ready to
become a peer or Bip Van "Winkle."

SOME MISTAKES
Inspector McAleese Admits That the
List is Not Accurate.
There Are Names on It That Don't Belong
License Court The Jadees Will Allow
rjbnll Not Ilave Licenses No Polities to be Considered la tho Granting of Brooks
Law Certificates Sixty-Five Applicants Disposed or In 5 Hours and 15 Minnies
Fivo Wnrds to be Tackled To-Day.
Sixty-three applications for retail liquor
license were heard yesterday in 5 hours and
15 minutes, an average of just five minutes
to an applicant. This exceeded by one min
ute the average time on Monday.
The chief feature of the day was Judge
Magee's dialogue with Inspector McAleese,
by which it was revealed that the list of
speak-easies furnished by the Chief of the
Department of Public Safety is practically
worthless for the use of the Judges. Judge
Magee exhibited some warmth during the
affair, and his eyes flashed.
The court officer who has charge of the
license courtroom is the venerable F. C
Negley, who is nearly an octogenarian, and
has been in the harness in the temple of
justice so long that his associates say he
actually imagines that he owns the great
creation of Architect Bichprdson. Mr.
Negley has been severely criticised because
he keeps the courtroom locked until about
five minutes before the opening ot court.
The result is that the lobby is crowded, and
when the door is opened there is a crush in
the narrow entrance.
There was a very large crowd present all
day yesterday. In the afternoon State Sen
ator Kemp, of Ohio, visited the room with
Sheriff McCandless and Clark A. Gibbs, and
was for half an houra looker-on. Inspectors
McAleese and McKelvey were present part
ot the day.
To-day the court will hear the applicants
from the Fourth, Filth, Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth wards, 71 in all.
TEAT LICENSE LIST.
INSPECTOR McAl.EESE TELLS HOW IT
WAS MADE UP.
The Court Says No Ono Cnn Promise to
Get Licenses and Hnve the Judges to
Keep the Promise The Second Morn
Ine's Proceedings In Detnll.
Immediately after the prompt opening, at
9:30 o'clock, Attorney Bobb reminded the
Court that soma of the neighbors of Mrs.
Martha "Wolf, of the Diamond, were wanted,
and he swore Messrs. Luebbe and Cresswell.
Mr. Luebbe is a grocer in the Diamond, and
Mr. Cresswell is a market butcher. Both
gave their opinion that Mrs. Wolf is a good
business women and well able to manage a
hotel and bar. Judge Ewing said: "Mrs.
"Wolf is down on the city list as keeping a
speak-easy. The lady was positive that she
had sold only mineral water, pop and gin
ger ale.
Charles S. Holmc3 and Henry H.Arnold,
of the Monongahela House, were merely
asked when they expected to have the house
in order. Mr. Holmes replied, the 1st of
May.
Alex. Hutchinson applied fora license for
the National Hotel, at Nos.lS7 and 138 Water
street. He explained that the entire interior of
the house was new. There are 75 rooms, with
all necessary accommodations. The property
is owned by tbe O'llara estate, and Mr. Hutch
inson rents from James Getty, Jr. He has an
absolute lease on the place, and said that he
hoped to make a good hotel. He said that ho
would buy his liquors from Mr. Getty only if
he could get them from him at market prices.
Mr. Hutchinson has a wife and six children,
and said that bis wife would have charge of the
housekeeping. He has been connected with
hotels and barrooms for 19 years.
PART OP THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
Owen Hughes is a little gray-mustached map,
pudgy and pugnacious in appearance. He
wants a license for No. 20a Grant street, now a
Chinese laundry. He said that there were 11
rooms in the old house, but revealed the fact
that the quarters were cramped. He kept a
saloon for 11 years, but never could get in un
der the Brooks law. Attorney Porter said that
Mr. Hughes was refused because his neighbor
hood was bad. "He was a part of the neigh
borhood," said Judge Ewing.
Inspector McAleese and Detective Coulson
swore that they bad become satisfied, after In
vestigating, that Mr. Hughes had not been
keeping a sneak-easy ou Third avenue. Judge
Magce held up the police list of speak-easie?,
and asked the Inspector: "Is that the way you
made np your list, wrote it out first and inves
tigated afterward!, The Inspector replied,
after looking with some astonishment at the
court, "Mo, sir; wo investigated before making
up that list."
"How was this list made up?"
"It was made up from the reports of the po
lice." "On whose report was Owen Hughes put on
tho list?"
"ilr. Keilly was tho officer on the beat."
"I heard vou swear not lone aco that there
were between 700 and S00 speak-easies in this
City."
"Yes, sir; I said so. I took that from the re
ports made to us by the police officers. I told
the police to put down everybody who they had
anv reason to think was selling. I will say that
there are several on there who ought not to
be on."
Judge Magee looked at Inspector McAleeso
as if ho would boro him tnrongh After a
searching glance, the Judge asked: "Did you
put anybody on thero because they weren't
voting right?"
The Police Inspector was very red in the face
as be replied: "No, sir. I did not take that
into consideration at all. Politics did not enter
into it. Tbe list was made up, according to in
structions, from the reports ot police officers. I
am here now by the instructions of Chief
Brown."
AS TO TROMISED LICENSES.
Judge Magee said: "There are Insinuations
that certain police officials have been promising
licenses to people who would vote right at the
last election."
The Inspector answered: "I nover made a
promise of that Kind to any person."
"I want it understood," said the Judge, with
an exhibition of decided feeling in tbe matter,
"that no man off this bench, high or low, can
promise any license to any person for me."
Jnuge Kwing called Airs. Martha Wolf up
again, and said to the Inspector: "On what
authority was this woman put on the speak
easy list? She denies It."
The Inspector said: "I have been in her place
myself." Then he blushed redder than before,
and added: "But I don't know that she sells,
xnvseu. .it nas neen so reportea."
Judge Magee again held np the type-written
list of speak-easies, and said:
"There are no speak-easies reported tor tbe
Twenty-third ward. Do you say that there are
none in that ward?"
"That is not in my district," replied Inspector
McAleese. "I made up the reports for the first
thirteen wards. Mr. Wbitehouse is tho In
spector for that district."
ENOUGH OF THAT KIND.
A young man with a tinv red mustache, who
answered to tbe name of Robert J. Lutz, ap
plied for No. 310 Grant street. He has leased
only the first floor, where he now has a pool
room. He is a son of Frank Lutz, who, for
many years, kept a saloon in the Diamond.
Judge Ewing said there bad been enough ex
perience with saloonkeepers, fn such a neigh
borhood, who did not control the whole build
ing. Wolfgang Miller. No. 50 Diamond street, has
been running a restaurant there lor ten years.
He feeds 60 to 80 people daily, and by contract
furnishes meals to tbe prisoners in toe Central
Police Station.

Frank Meyers, of South Thirteenth street,
applies for No. 4U SmithQeld street. This is
now a cigar store, and is separated by only on e
door from the Cafe Bayley. Mr. Meyers used
to sell whisky on the Soutbside. but quit fivo
years ago, and has since been interested in the
glass business. Judge Ewing asked how close
the place is to Youngson's. Mr. Meyers said
that it was next door.
M. F. Maloney, No. 119 Diamond street, Isnow
licensed. He was asked only about his bonds
man. A very young-looking man. with a smooth
face and black hair, George Miller, applied for
ISo. 212 Second avenue, the second door from
Ross street. He said that he bad been raised at
the restaurant business, lives at No. 228 Second
avenue, and drives a delivery wagon for tho
Bruenings, wholesale beer dealers.
Amand Mihm. of middle age, applied for his
old place at the northeast corner of Smlthfield

health being bad, he had spent nearly all the
time since In Germany.

house on the southeast corner of Smithfield

people. "I fear," said Judge Ewing. 'that a
license might spoil tht nice restaurant trade."
Samuel Paisley, short, fat, florid and bald,
applied for his former stand at No. 201 Fourth
avenue, near the Panhandle station. He kept
therein 1833, but has since been locked up.
During tbe eight years he occupied that stand
he closed bis bar at 720 P. H-. except Saturday
evening. Judge Ewing thought that Mr.
Paisley's place was too much the mere saloon,
and expressed the opinion that a good restaur
ant would do well in that locality.
Charles Preston, tbe colored proprietor of
the Hotel Preston, tho only hotel devoted to
the colored people in this city, located on Ross
Street, near Water, asked for a bar license.
Louis Ruppel asked for a renewal of bis
license at 212 Smithfield street, where he has
kept for ten years. The only thing Judge
.Ewing said, when Mr. Ruppel was sworn, was,
"Call the next." This positively takes the
medal as the shortest examination.
Fred Schmidt, who kept a saloon at No. 82
Diamond street In 1SSS, desires to return to the
business after an Involuntary vacation of 12
months. He said that he had always paid the
full license and had no bucket trade.

for a license for No. 232 Second avenue, near
the Panhandle railroad. The place Is now the

Tbe place is now a real estate office. There
are six rooms in the house, which faces the
new postoffice. Mr. Weidmeyer bas for sev
eral years been a bartender for Geerge Reine
man on Diamond street. Judge Ewin; said
that the fourth avenue house has been for
years a gambling den. More than that. Fourth
avenue in that block is much crowded. The
walk on only one side of the street can be used
by pedestrians. Judge Magee said that the
tenants of adjacent buildings had filed a
remonstrance against a saloon.
The Third ward began with George Arnold,
who applied for the old Metropolitan Hotel, at
the corner of Grant street and Seventh avenue.
Judge Ewing said that there was no doubt as
to tbe accommodations. The place was notori
ous, but there was need of a good second class
hotel at that place If a good man could be se
cured to run it. The judges then carefully in
quired into Mr. Arnold's antecedents. He used
to keep the Greenwood House in the Ninth
ward. Neither Judge Ewing nor J udge Magee
appeared much impressed by that revelation.
William W. Ashworth applied for No. 603
Liberty avenue, wbero be now keeps a clgax
store. He is an ex-saloon keener, and said that
if he was given a license he would run a saloon,

no pretense of an eating house, as made by
many of the annlicants.
George J. Barbericb, of No. 605 Grant street,
a ten-room house which he owns, desires to
sell rum. He at present sells only meals, which
is tco dry to suit him.
Joseph and Emll Bihlman stood up, asking
for another year's license for their big saloon
at Nos. -19 and 51 Diamond street. Judge
Ewing said: "The only fault fonnd with your
place is tuat your tables for those who take
meals are in the same room as the bar."
QUITE SHORT AND SWEET.
Joseph and George A. Carr asked for a
license at 814 Liberty street, where they now
boldlorth. They were asked very few ques
tions. Next was a little fellow whose necktie was
trying to struggle up above his collar. He was
Charles Cappell, whose eating house is at No.
142 Fifth avenue, between Cherry alley and
Grant street. He applied for a license last
year and was refused.
Harry Davis appeared to make another ef
fort to cot a bar license for the old London
Theater, running from Fifth avenue to Dia
mond street, down in the basement under tbe
Opera House. Judge Ewing asked a few ques
tions about Davis' former partners, what sort
of a business be carried on there, and whether
or not he furnished meals.
George Ditnling, No. 17 Diamond square,now
keeps a restaurant. During the past year he
has sold soft drinks.

"Yes, sir; brother."
"Is he Interested In this application?"
"No, sir."
WOULD MISS THE BEAR.
John Eichley, who keeps the Old Black Bear
Hotel, wants a license for the place at No. 10
Masters alley. Judge Magee asked him If the
bear was still hanging out over the door. Mr.
Eichley said that Gus Braun bad taken it down
and that it had been down ever since. The
Judge said he wondered bow former customers
could find the place.
Charles Frelbertshauser kept a saloon at No.
546 Smithfield street during 18S3. Last year he
was refused. He desires to reopen. He said
that his bar receipts, when he sold liquor, were
twice as much as his receipts from the eating.
Judge Ewing said that if the applicant had
kept up bis eating facilities be would be hi a
better position to ask now for a liquor license.
James C. Glltlnan. No. 972 Liberty avenue,
used to keep a slmon pure saloon and liked the
business. He keeps an eating house now, he
said, but denied the selling of "soft" drinks
durlngthe past year.
Charles F. Hilger applied for No. 4 Sixth
avenue. It is the old stand formerly known as
the Tavistock. Mr. Hilger said that he already
had possession and was fitting the house up for
a restaurant
EATING A NUISANCE.
Judge Ewing said: "When Mr. Hilger kept
a saloon on Smithfield street, in 1884 he looked
more at the big profits of the bar than at the
small profits of the restaurant. Beside that,
be is going to a place wnere the eating part bas
always been considered a necessary nuisance."
Henry Herzeberger, who bas for several
years run a restaurant at No. 674 Liberty ave
nue, and during the past year a saloon, asked
permission to continue. Judge Magee asked:
"Do you have men at your bar four and Ave
deep:"
"Sometimes we do."
'You need more licenses up there?"
JohnHohmann runs an eating house at No.
638 Smithfield street. He said: "I have one or
