The redisricting of the State of Ohio by
a Democratic Legislature has been com
pleted, and is now a law. The details of
the scheme and the notable Congressional
candidates in the new districts, are given
below, together with the official map of
Ohio as redistricted.
IFrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Columbus, March 23. The State of
Ohio has probably been districted and re
districted for Con
gressional purposes
within the past 20
years oftener than
any other State in
the Union. The
decennial district-
: mg is made abso

jgig of politics has
never tailed to
change the matter

mander.
the form of government of the United
States, and who doubtless intended that a
redisfricting every ten years should stand
until the next decennial period.
A Lecislntivo Duty.
The Federal census is taken every ten
years, after which Congress apportions the
State for Representatives in Congress. It
is then the duty of the Legislature to redis
trict the State for Congressional purposes,
nil the districts to have an equal population
so far as the same can be done, each district
to be formed of "contiguous territory."
This is about all the supervision the Fed
eral Government exercises over the Con
gressional districts. It does not even re
quire a Congressman to be a resident of the
district which he may represent.
In Ohio, the Democrats, when they came
into power under Governor Bishop, in 1878,
redistricted the State by what was known as
the "O'Conner Legislature," and at the
closing of a decennial period, thus interfer
ing with the established rule. By this act
the State was arranged so as to elect 17
Democrats to 3 Republicans, there being
but 20 districts at that time. On this redis
ricting the Republicans elected 9 Con
gressmen and the Democrats 11.
Back to the Old Lines.
In 1SS0 the Republicans restored the dis
tricts as they had been arranged in 1872,
and in 1882 the Republicans enacted the
regular decennial redisricting law. Under
this arrangement of the districts the Demo
crats elected 13 Congressmen. Bnt this did
not satisfy their ripping proclivities, and
-when the Coal Oil Legislature came into
power under Hoadly in 1881, they again re
districted the State on a basis to give the
Democrats 17 of the 21 Congressmen. The
Republicans, however, elected 10 Congress
men to the Democrats' 11. The Republican
Legislature in 18SG restored the old Con
gressional districts as formed in 18S2. Now
comes the Democratic party into power and
again redistricts the State, as shown by the
map presented herewith.

It will be observed that this "contiguous
territory" is intended to give the Democrats
15 Congressmen to 6 Republicans. It will
also be observed that the Democratic dis
tricts have been arranged so that the majori
ties range from 1.00C to 3,000, the major por
tion being under 2,000, while in the Repub
lican districts the majorities are overwhelm
ing. This was done for a purpose. It gives
the Democratic vote of the State, which is
smaller than the Republican, through the
instrumentality of the juggling ot counties
a longer rope, and shortens the Republican
string in proportion.
There is good authority for saying that
Senator-elect Brice has promised to assist in
each Democratic Cougressional district to
such extent as may be made necessary,
whether the pile required be great or small.
He has promised to see this thing through
at all hazards. He has also promised that
the Democratic State Committee shall not
be hard up for funds during the next cam
paign. Harvesters in Plentv.
Now who shall the candidates in the sev

question which agitates. Of course those
who took the deepest interest in the work
and made the greatest sacrifices feel their

hearts thumping in anticipation of Con
gressional glory.
The Firsl district was arranged to fit one
Otway J. Cosgrove, of Cincinnati. He is
what is known as a gangster in Hamilton
connty, and is noted for nothing else par
ticularly. Joseph G. Sextro, the only Dem
ocratic candidate beaten in Hamilton county
last year, may give Cogrove some troaDle.
Ben Bntterworth can have the Republican
nomination If he desires it. Dr. Gragdon, John
W. Warrington, and Luke A. Staley are pos
sible Republican candidates.
The Second district is Republican, and Judge
Caldwell, who is serving his first term, will be
very likely to succeed himself. Judge Hunt
and Sam Miller are talked of as possible Dem
ocratic candidates against Caldwell.
The Third district is Democratic James A.
Neal, Chairman of the Democratic Stato Execu
tive Committee, can have the nomination if he
so desires. Hon. John A. McMahon and Rep
resentative Belville, are also spoken of as can-J
aiaates. lion. a. u. juorey, tne present re
publican Congressman from that district, will,
without doubt, make the race for the Republi
cans. He is a smooth runner.
Green Congressional Timber.
The Fourth district is Democratic, and has a
great deal ot Congressional timber, tbough
some of it is not of large growth. Charles M.
Anderson, he of tbe flowing locks, who served
one term in Congress and was then placed on
the retired list, is out as a candidate Speaker
Marsh, of the Coal Oil Legislature, has his
lightning rod up. Jesse M. Lewis, -who was re
cently defeated for Attorney General, is also a
candidate for the nomination. Captain Will
iams, the present Republican Representative
from a portion of the district, has had two
terms, and it is more than probable that be will
be a desirable candidate for another race.
The Fifth district has a 'figured" Demo
cratic majority of 3,081 Fred C. Layton, of
Anglaize, and Ripper Senator Mel Shaw are
candidates. Brice is said to favor La) ton, and
that settles it. Boh Kennedy, present Republi
can member of Congress, was pnt in this dis
trict to retire him. He can have the nomina
tion again if be desires it
The Sixth district is also Democratic but
Congressman Boothman, Republican, has been
twice elected with greater odds against him.
It is not known whether Boothman desires an
other race Bill Hill bobs up serenely for the
Democratic nomination, but be has opposition
in Representatives Gever and Dennis Donavin,
members of the lower House of tbe Legislature,
who are aching to go to Congress. The fight
for tbe nomination will be a real interesting
one
Candidates Galore in tbe Sevcnlb.
The Seventh district is Democratic The
Congressman is Judge William E. Haynes, of
Sandusky. He is serving bis first term and
would be given a second were it not for the
fact that Legislator Hunt, who put Colonel
Brice in nomination before the Democratic
Legislative caucus is edging Congressward
himseir, with lJrice to back hiin. Senator Son
crant and Senator Ryan arc :ilni c-zing win
fully toward Congress, while Frank Ilurd isi
taking moro interest in Ohio affairs than he
has for years and is suspected of having an
cs on the nomination. On tbe Republican
side of the fence may be found Charles P.
Griffin, of Toledo, and Captain J. B. Lncky, of
Ottawa, the latter being the first man from
Ohio to break away from Sherman at the Chi
cago Convention, who are of the opinion that
Congressional garments could be cut so as to
fit them. Ex-Congresman Romeis is also
spoken of in connection with the Republican
nomination.
The Eighth district is likewiso Democratic,
with a flock of Democrats in the ring. Among
those who have been mentioned for the nomi
nation are Perry M. Adams, President pro tem.
of the Senate: Allen Smalley, of Wsandot;
David Joy. of Hancock, and Hon. E. 15. Hub
bard, of Seneca. Adams, no doubt, has the
pole. The Republican candidates have not de
veloped as yet. Thev will come along later.
The Ninth, or Capital, district is Democratic,
and has candidates as thick as blackberries. J.
H. Ontbwaite. the present Congressman, is in
for the race again and likely to win. His com
petitors for the Democratic nomination are
Hon. George L Converse, Hon. Thomas E.
Powell, J.IIL Pugb, Hon. H. J. Booth. Sena
tor Vancleaf and probably Allen V. Thurman
as a dark horse. Hon. John F. Lock, of Madi
son, is spoken of as the Republican candidate.
Republican Stronghold.
The Tenth district is overwhelmingly Repub
lican, and there are a host of candidates.
George C Rawlm, Mills Gardner, ex-Senator
Pavey, General Bushnell, Hon. John Little,
Andrew Jackson, ex-Speaker Keifer, Judge
Doane, Hon. John C. Entrckm, Senator Mas
sie, Hon. D. L Worthington and Judge Will
iams have been mentioned in connection with
the Republican nomination. Hon. John H.
Thomas, who was a candidate for Senator
against Hricc, resides in this district and ex
pected things to be shaped his way, but he
whined so much over the boodle he said he
spent to elect a Democratic Legislature that ho
came out at the little end of the horn. Hon.
L. T. Ncal, Governor Campbell's competitor at
Dayton, isalso buried in this district. No Dem
ocratic candidate has been mentioned for the
purpose ot ornamenting a political graveyard
in the above named district.
Tho Eleventh district is Democratic It was
cut out for Senator Pattison to secure his vote
for "ripper bills," but he will not get the Con
gressional persimmon. John S. Leedom has
recently announced himself and he or probably
ex-State Representative McKcover will stand
a good show, w ith State Representative Pen
ned in the held.
Congressman Pugsley has had two terms
from this, a formerly Republican district, and
may make the race again. James B. Swing,
Hon. William A. Blair and Hon. John W.
Barger are also on the Republican slato for the
nomination. The Democratic majority is hard
to overcome, but a porular Republican may be
able to do it.
The Twelfth district is Republican by a large
majority. Congressmen Thompson and Gros
venor arc thrown together. Tbe fight for the
nomination will bo a lively one. Hon. W. W.
Merrick. Judge Evans. General W. H. Enochs
and ex-Congressman McCormick are also can
didates for the 'Republican nomination. Ex
Congressman Vance or ex-Secretary of State
Newman will doubtless have to stand for the
knockout for the Democrats.
The Thirteenth district is Democratic with a
fighting chance for the Republicans. The
Democratic candidates for the nomination are
Speaker Hysell. Judge Joe Huffman, Hon.
John G. Reeves and Irvmo Duugan. Hysell
stands the best chance, while Duncan has been
defeated so often that it wonld make him feel
at borne to get it again. The Republican candi
dates mentioned are Stato Representative
Crew, ex-Representative Kitchen and Judge
Bright.
The Fourteenth district is pretty reliably
Democratic, and Congressman Owens, who is
serving his first term, will no doubt be renomi
nated. He will have opposition from State
Senator Giumer and State Representative
Forbes. Colonel Munson is the only Republi
can mentioned for tho nomination, but if tbe
Democrats should put up a weak man the Re
Dublicans might stand a chance with a strong
candidate
A Democrntlc Soft Snnp.
The Fifteenth district is Democratic without
doubt Congressman Cooper, Republican, is
serving a third term from a portion of tbe dis
trict He can be renominated if he so desires.
General Jones, of Delaware, would accept the
nomination. Tho Democratic candidates are
numerous. General E. B. Finley claims to have
a cinch on tbe nomination, but has not always
been a true prophet The other candidates are
Judge Geddes. an ex-Congressman and ex-can-didate
for Unfted States Senator in a small
wav; Michael D. Harter, the millionaire free
trader; ex-State Representative JlcCray and
ex-State Senator Braddock, who made the race
last year against Cooper.
The Sixteenth district is Democratic Major
McKiniey resides in this district and may be
tbe Republican candidate There are a host of
Democratic candidates. State Representative
Monnot had the district carved out for his
especial benefit The other candidates are:
Judge Stillwell, Senator Zimmerman, Senator
Howells, Dr. J. B. Lewis, E. B. Eshelman, J. J.
Sullivan, and many others. Those named are
the most prominently mentioned.
The Seventeenth district is Democratic
General Warner Is perhaps tho most formida
ble Democrat in tbe district, but he is not in
line with the leaders J. Ross Alexander,
Judge Pearson and J. P. Spriggs are also can
didates for tho nomination. Colonel Poorman
would make a formidable Republican candi
date Ex-Congressman J. H. Taylor may be a
candidate
Tho Eighteenth district is Republican. J. D.
Taylor who has served a number of terms ana
has nearly all bis brothers on the public pay
roll, will doubtless desire the nomination
again, but there will be a hot flcht madeagainst
him. There are a number of Republicans who
are willing to represent the district in Congress.
Among them are State Senator Sliver, ex

A courier with an unpronounceable name,

duped Philadelphia bloods. He speaks
several languages, and was wined and dined
extensively under the impression that he
was a foreign nobleman.
IBT-ECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATClI.l
Philadelphia, March 23. Alexander
Kleezewiski, courier to Count Max Pappen
heim, of the German army, who is soou to
marry Miss Wheeler, of Philadelphia, has
been living in clover since he and his dis
tinguished master arrived in this city. The
Count and his servant are stopping at the
Hotel Bellevue. Alexander Kleezewiski is
a man of commanding presence and of dis
tinguished, not to say pompous, bearing.
To these fortunate circumstances Mr.
Kleezewiski owes the jolly good time that
he is enjoying in the Quaker City. Alex
ander Kleezewiski, whose name clearly in
dicates his Russian birth, is ordinarily em
ployed as a courier of the Continental Hotel,
Paris. He accompanied Count Max Pap
penheim and his brother, Count Ludwick
Pappenheim, on their tour to this country.
THE VALET IN LUCK. '
Upon reaching New York the tourists
made immediate preparation to visit Phila
delphia, the courier preceding them upon
his arrival on Saturday night. The courier
instantly caught the eye of a numDer of fash
ionable young men who sized him up for a
German nobleman of high standing. The for
mality of an introduction was cast aside and
Mr. Kleezewiski was soon the recipient of an
invitation to "break a a bottle." which he did
with the utmost benignity.
Several bottles followed, and "witty words
and sparkling wine" were In profusion when
the little informal fete was interrupted by the
entrance of Count Pappenheim and his brother,
which necessitated the presence of the sup
posed German nobleman, and the party Droke
up. The next morning Mr. Kleezewiski made
his appearance attired in a double-breasted
sack-coat suit of rich material, and joined his
newfound friends in a sumptuous breakfast
after which the party strolled down Chestnut
street At dinner tbe courier appeared in an
entirely different dress, and carried a highly
polished ebony cane, with a coronet and his
initials engraved upon it
NO END OP PUN.
After dinner be sent a bell boy for a victoria
and dnring the afternoon was driven about the
fashionable parts of tbe city. While driving
down Bioiu street tbe supposed nobleman was
again seen by his bananeters of tbe night be
fore and upon his return he received m invi
tation to dine at a noted club. In the evening
be was called for by a delegation of his ad
mirers who escorted him in a Cab to a supper
party in his honor.
Kleezewiski, who sneaks German, French,
Russian, Italian and English, Atertained the
joung bloods with tales of foreign life and lor
tne past week has been the center of their ad
miration. On Thursday evening last while hit
master was enjovinc the wit and wisdom of tbe
Clover Club, Courier Kleczewlskistrolled about
the hotel where bis identity was again mistaken
for that of his master. He was treated with
the utmost respect and to an unlimited amount
of champagne, much to the amusement of the
attaches of the hotel who enjoyed the delusion
immensely.
His entertainers only to-day discovered that
tbey bad been feting the man and not the
master. The report that some of the bovs had
in "tow" a real live German Count, with whom
they were doing the "elegant," soon spread
among tbe young foroign imitators, and a num
ber of them got together and decidea to give
him a grand farewell dinner. Accordingly, while
Count Pappenheim was absent at a reception
his courier was in his room donning his even
ing dress and making preparations for tbe din
ner In his honor.
A BANQUET IN HIS HONOR.
He quietly left tbe hotel and soon was in tbe
midst of his new found American friends,
whom ho entertained with his ready wit and
able con mnrd of his many languages. While
engjged h: thi purnuit his master received an
unexpected message through tho Foreign
Office to report at Washington Immediately on
important business. He'called for bis courier
to get his trunks ready, but Mr. Kleezewiski
could nofbe found. A visit was made to tbe
cafe, the hotel was searched, Iho neighboring
hotel bars sought, but no courier could be
found. The Count, who is not altogether an
admirer of his courier, was very angry about
his disappearance and waited until midnight,
bnt without success for his return, and after
consulting a timo table Count Pappenheim de
cided to wait until tho 3 A. M. train for tho
Capital City.
Kleezewiski, however, was keeping time to
the music of popping champagne bottles and
was not Inclined to leave it, so the Count was
compelled to pack his own trunks and borrow a
servant from the hotel to accompany him to
Washington, The courier, unaware of his
master's departure, came into the hotel about
8 o'clock this morning, .and was decidedly
taken back when be ascertained the state of
affairs.
A THOUSAND IN NEED.

JSr-ZCIAI. TELEOBAJI TO THE DISPATCIT.l
Scranton, March 23. One thousand
needy miners in Scranton and the adjoining
mining settlements have so far been assisted
by the Relief Committee. Two weeks ago
the committee opened a large store on Wash
ington avenue, where contributions of pro
visions and money were received, and from
which food was delivered to the needy by
wagons belonging to the merchants. As
many as 200 applicants appeared at the
store in a day at first They were promptly
suoplied with flour, bacon, rice, oatmeal, but
ter, potatoes tea and coffee. So far the big
corporations have done nothing for tho desti
tute miners. Mayor-elect John H. Fellows, a
member of tho Relief Committee, told tbe Poor
Board on Friday that the corporations, notably
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
road Company, had filled the Lactawanna
Valley with a large surplus of miners and labor
ers in order to prevent strikes and that they
sbonld bo compelled to alleviate the sufferings
of the needy.
A suggestion to raise tho poor tax levy from
5 to 10 mills on tho dollar, was discussed by the
board. A few of tbo members thought that
was the only way to make tho corporations pay
for a portion of "the suffering that they hivo
been tho primary cause of, whilo other mem
bers were of the opinion that a raise in tho tax
would bear heavier proportionately on people
of moderate means than it would on the
gigantic corporations, and the question was
put over. The board appropriated $500 to the
renei lunu. xno poor ooaru is overrun wun
persons who ask to be assisted to money to get
them back to the old country, and to various
places in this country outside of tbe coal
regions, but it is'not possiblo for tho board to
grant their requests.
Scores of single men have left here of late to
seek work in other places, and thero are hun
dreds of married men who would do the same
if they could get money enough to take their
families along. Even when tho coal mining in
dustry is booming its best, there is a largo num
ber of unemployed laborers in all parts of tbe
anthracite regions, and since work in the mines
bas been slack for moro than a year, the num
ber has run up into the thousands, the small
amounts that tbey bad laid up have been spent
and tbe destitution is consequently felt in all
lines of trade

Washington, March 21 Mr, Chas. Kinkel,
an architect late of tho Supervising Archi
tect's office, an illustration of whose design lor
a tower 1,500 feet high for the exhibition of
1893 was published in The Dispatch some
time ago, bas a very good prospect of being
awarded first prize for a design for a great tower
to be erected in London, England, by a private
company, of wbicli Sir Edward Watkins, M.
P.. is Presidont. Tho illustration and descrip
tive article in The Dispatch were seen by
members of tbe London Companv, and led to
tbe sending of an invitation to Mr. Kinkel to
comnete Mr. Kinkel worked almost night and
day "for upward of three months on tho do
signs, produced the plan of a tower of wonder
ful grace of outline and beauty in every partic
ular and sent on drawings and estimates, the
Kictnro of the elevation being five feet in
eight and a real work of art in water colors.
Three or four weeks ago Mr. Kinkel bad a
letter acknowledging" the receipt of the plans,
and Wluiin a week lias had three telegrams
asking for additional particulars of such a
character as to lead him to think that be may
at least secure one of the prizes, if not tho
award as the architect of successful plans.
Tbe award will be made about the 1st of April.
HIGH WATER AT CINCINNATI.
Three Slcht-Peers Ovennrnod From n Skiff
nnd Drowned in tbo Flood.
Cincinnati, March 23. The weather here
to-day was clear and pleasant, and to-night the
stars were visible until 9 o'clock, since which
time the sky has been covered with black clouds
that at midnight look threatening. With
no more contributions to the flood
in tho Ohio, river men estimate that the flood
here will reach 60 feet. These same men un
derestimated the maximum of the recent flood
by two or three feet However, the present
flood seems to come almost wholly from rains
in the Allegheny's mountain water shed of the
Ohio.
At midnight tbo river hero was 55 feet and 3
inches, and for several hours has been raising
two inches an hour, a very rapid rate for this
stage of w ater. Already the back water in tho
lowlands here is quite aspectacle.
Three sightseers in Newport venturing out in
a skiff this afternoon were capsized and
drowned. They were Wm. Kinney and Pete
McGinnis. rolling mill men, and Tom Burke, a
lad who accompanied them.
A BIG PRAIRIE FIRE.
One Hundred Thousand Acres Already
Burned nnd Loss of Life Feared.
rSFECIAit TELEOKAM TO THE ntSPATCH.l
Denver, March 23. A dreadful fire has been
raging over the prairies of Kit Carson county,
Col., and adjoining territory, for the past two
days, consuming everything in its path. Tho
tiro has already covered moro than 100,000 acres,
and is still burning with greater fury. Tho flro
IB augmented by the heavy growth of grass,
and with the meagre appliances at hand the
settlers have no possible show of conquering it
Tbe damage to farmers on accountof the range
being destroyed and other losses cannot be es
timated. The fire is supposed to have started from
some campers' fire. The entire country sur
rounding Belolt is liable to bo devastated in a
fow davs. Grave fears aro entertained for tho
lives of the settlers and their stock. Tho
ranches that have not so far been touched are
given tbo strictest attention. Wild rumors
are beard and loss of life is feared on every
band.
Will BISMARCK DECLINED.
He Would Not Accept a. Grant Which Would
Increase Taxes.
London, March 21. The Standard's Berlin
correspondent says: "It is reported that Bis
marck accepted the Colonel Generalship, but
declined the dukedom and grant, first verbally
and then in a long letter, to tbe effect that
It is not in harmony with his principles to ac
cept a grant, in view of tho increasing burdens
of the taxpayers. Herr von Badowitz has de
clined to succeed Count Herbert Bismarck."
The grant which Bismarck declined was an
offer to continue bis salary and official resi
dence. It is rumored that Bismarck has not
seen the Emperor in a week.

IBrECTAI, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCII.l
Westchester, Pa., March 23. The
Rev. John Bolton, rector of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity, did
not preach a sermon this morning. Instead
of doing so he made an address at the close
of the services in which he attacked the
vestry and said that once, while reading the
litany, he had observed a game of cards be
ing played in the pews in the rear of the
church.
The difficulty that culminated to-day,
started last Tuesday, when Rector Bolton,
without consulting the vestry, ordered the
removal of eight pews from the rear of the
church. Vestrvman C. T. Bradford, Jr.,
accidentally went into the church and fonnd
the carpenter, under Mr. Bolton's supervis
ion, removing the pews. He spoke to the rec
tor and told him that he was exceeding his
authority, and had no right to take the
pews out, and suggested that work be sus
pended until an immediate conference of
the vestry be held.
a conflict ensued.
This Mr. Bolton refused to accede to, and
ordered the carpenter to proceed with the
work. Mr. Bradford then called the vestry to
gether, and the following resolution was unani
mously adopted: "That the eight pews which
have been removed bv the rector.the Rev.John
Bolton, be replaced, and tbo accounting
warden be instructed to deduct all expenses
arising therefrom from the salary of tbo rec
tor." This resolution was also pas sed: 'That
the chime of bells now in coarse of construc
tion be not bnng in the tower until the money
subscribed for their purchase be paid over to
tho accounting warden.''
In his address this morning Mr. Bolton said:
"My heart is full of gratitude to-day, yet it is
very sad. I am grateful for the wonderful pro
gress this church has made; yet, my friends. I
bave a sad feeling. You know that this
is tbe bouse of God a sacred place. For a
long time there bavo been snch continual com
plaints of people in the back pews that it has
become a serious matter. Now this is what
happened in tbe bacic pews. A came of cards
was played dnring one service while I
was reading the litany. It was also
stated to roe by a gentleman that the
noise by young men wa so great that be could
not hear what I said. I spoke to a vestryman,
and for a few Sundays he sat back and tbe dis
turbance ceased, but the vestryman could not
always sit back, and when he went away the
disorder was resumed.
THE DESIEED ErFECT.
"I then had the four last rows of pews closed,
which ba d the effect desired. A few days ago
I had tbe two last rows of pews removed but
the vestrymen ordered them to be put back. 1
have the kindliest feeling toward the vestry
but have no donbt that the condition will sus
tain me. There is nofa person in west Ches
ter who believe that I would do anything to in
jure this church."
Ho then read the second resolution as quoted
above and said: "Tbey say tbat the bells will
be put up as soon as tbe money is in the bands
of the accounting warden. Now I cannot band
that money over to tbe warden. This is the
first time in my life that an insinua
tion was made that money was
not safe In my hands. It I am to
be rector I must be so.and 1 think that this vestry
should resign, and that the congregatlgn should
elect one tbat will be willing to work with tbe
rector. In conclusion I think I may safely as
sure the congregation that those pews will go
and that tho chime of bells will be put in the
tower.

ETea tbe Congrrsulonnl Committee Were
Unable to Find Any Method of Keeping
Oat Immigrants Under Implied
Contracts Inspectors Nes
, lect Their Daty.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH t
Kew York, March 23. When the
members of the joint committee of the
United States Senate and House, appointed
to look into immigration matters at this
port, got back to the hotel on Saturday
night they found Immigration Commis
sioner Stephenson waiting for them with the
information that be would have a big boat
load of foreigners down at Castle Garden
early this morning for tbera to inspect. The
Congressmen promised to get up early and be
at the Garden by 9 o'clock. At that hour Com
missioner Stephenson was on baud and soon
after the barges began to empty into the Gar
den the 700 Immigrants which had arrived by
tbe Saale. Not a committeeman had appeared.
The Commissioner picked out four immi
grants, and ordered them into tbe little inner
pen in tbe center of the building, wbero they
were pnt through a rigorous examination.
Major Semsey. the all-around Interpreter of
the Garden, found out that they were Hun
garians bonnd for Michigan, where they bad a
promise of work in a mine at $1 20 a day. Rela
tives and friends already at work thero had
written to them, they said, and assured them
that tbe boss would give them all a job at that
price. Tho Commissioner looked around the
Garden again, but there wasnot one of the fed
eral contract labor Inspectors in sight, although
it was now after 10 o'clock, and tbe immigrants
were beginning to drift out of the Garden. Be
fore noon Inspectors Gordon and Taylor finally
arrived at the Garden. They had no interpre
ters with them, but they found a fow of the
Saale's passengers left in the Garden, and they
went to work to cross-examino them. Tbey
discovered nothing wrong.
Some of tbe committeemen had insisted upon
going to church, but just before noon Senators
Chandler, Pettigrew and Eustis and Repre
sentatives Oats and Stumpf, Surgeon-General
Hamilton, Solicitor Hepburn. Commander Fol
ter and Commissioner of Immigration John li.
Weber arrived. Mr. Stephenson took them in
hand at once and led them over to his Hunga
rian immigraats, who had to go through an
other examination in the presence of the visit
ors. After listening to their tale and to what
both Commissioner Stephenson and Inspector
Taylor had to say on the subject both Senators
Chandler and Eustis came to the opinion tbat
tbe men could not bo held as contract laborers
because a contract could not bo proved.
Finally everybody agreed that tbe law wonld
bave to be amended If laborers who come in
under such an agreement are to be shut out
REYISING THE TARIFF BILL.
The Committee Obliged to Heed Some of
tbe Many Protests.
rrnosr. A staff coerisposdest.I
Washington, March 23. Tho premature
publication of the tariff bill, in course of
preparation by the Ways and Means Commit
tee, has caused a delay in reporting tha meas
ure to the House. It was confidently ex
pected by tbo Republican members
of the committee that it would
have been placed on the calendar
some time last week, but the protests
against tbe proposed changes in duties on cer
tain articles have been so vigorous that it bas
been deemed advisable to witbhold it for a
while longer, until all sides shall bave
bad a fair bearing. Tbe silk manufacturers
of New Jersey and Connecticut wbo were much
alarmed at tbe action of tbe committee in
placing a duty of SI per pound on raw silk,
bavo been succcsstul in demonstrating to the
committee that tbe industry of raising silk
worms has not yet attained those proportions
in this country which, would warrant such a
tax upon the imported article, and it is under
stood that raw silk will be restored to tbe free
list
The Massachusetts boot and shoe manufact
urers have also presented very strong argu
ments against the proposed duty of 1& cents
per pound on bides, which they claim is much
too high and would increase the cost of their
manufactures to tbe consumer at least 29
per cent The committeo has not yet
decided what they will do with
this question, but the probability
is tbat bides will bo kept on tbe free list where
the Senate bill of last Congress placed them.
Tbe sugar scbedule Is also to be revised so as
to place specific instead of ad valorem duties on
the several grades of imported sugars, and to
retain tho prcsentstandard in the classification
of refined sugars.

IsrECiAi. telegram to the disp ATCn.!
Denver, March 23. During the past week a
murder trial of great importance bas been in

yond tbe limits of Payson. Hancuck, with
four otber men, went to tbe hut on the night
of the killing. They demanded the where
abouts of her son.

demanded, Hancock shot and killed her. This
sceno was witnessed by Mis. Jones' 5-year-old
daughter, whoso testimony was given in tbo
trial. It was after this deed that tbe capture
and murder of Henry occurred. Tbo jury was
out five hours and a half, and returned a ver
dict of guilty of murder in the seconddegree.

Rochester. March 23. Later details or the

Miss Jessie Boust, of Northumberland,
died February 23 and the funeral was set
for three days later. The cheeks continued
red, however, and at the close of the sermon
the mother refused to allow the interment to
proceed. The body has just been buried,
having been kept in the house ever since.
CSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBE DISPATCH. 1
SHA310KIN, March 23. A newspaper in
Northumberland, Pa., issued February 28,
contained the following:
Died Mias Jessie, only daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Boust, In her 23d year. February
25. of prostration. Funeral tikes place on the
23th. Services at bouso by Rev. A. C. Camp
bell. Interment in Northumberland Cemetery.
The remains were not interred until last
Tuesday lrom the fact that the mother
thought the daughter was not dead on the
second day of Miss Boust's demise. Owing
to the family's prominence the story was
suppressed, although people would collect
in groups and converse over the mysterious
aftair. To-day, after careful investigation, a
remarkable story was unearthed. Charles
Boust is the proprietor of a drygoods store,
and conducts an extensive meat market
Mis3 Jessie Bonst was a handsome girl of
the brunette type, with an exquisite figure.
Five years ago her mind became unbalanced.
Her condition became snch that three
months ago she was removed to the State
Lunatic Asylum at Danville.
A MANIA FOB FKUIT.
After a sojourn of one month she was
taken home, because Dr. Shultz would not
humor her many strange requests. She had
a mania for fruit, too much? of which Dr.
Schultz told Mrs. Boust, was not good for
the patient. When the young woman
reached home her actions became so boisterous
that a bed was placed in the parlor, which
room Miss Boust jfrequented exclusively, be
cause her piano was there, on which she per
formed in masterly style. Several times Miss
Bout escaped from tbe room when the door
was bolted and tbe windows barred.
On tbe night of her death she was unman
ageable, at times running to the piano and
playing weird and beautiful music and then
again smashing the furniture. It is said she
wrecked the piano. The grief stricken inmates
sat in another room waiting for the frenzy to
subside. Finally the girl became quiet in tho
parlor, when the family, thinking the young
woman bad fallen asleep, retired.
Next morning the mother waited until late
before entering in order to allow her daughter
time to sleep off the paroxysm. Finally Mrs.
Boust went in with breakfast The young
woman was found on the bed dead, her face
horribly distorted and black. Dr. Shultz was
summoned and pronounced it congestion of the
brain. l.ater on E. K. Bright an undertaker,
embalmed tbe corpse, making an incision in
tbe left arm. into which over a gallon of fluid
was injected.
THOUGHT IT AS A TKANCE.
That night the mother entered tbe parlor to
look at ibe corpse, when she almost sank to the
floor in joy. She thonght her daughter was in
a trance, the skin being white as snow and tho
checks a rosy red. Dr. Shultz and tbe under
taker wero called, but tbev could not make the
mother think it was the fluid's action. Next
day relatives and friends assembled for tbe in
terment Tbe minister preached and then the
startling announcement of tbe burial being de
clared off. caused much mystification. The
mother, at tbe last moment would not permit
tbe interment believing her child yet alive.
Most of tbe people thought the postpone
ment was caused by the grave containing
water, a heavy rain having prevailed the night
previous. The following day Mr. Boust opened
bis stores. Last Tuesday afternoon Under,
taker Bright, while returning on his hearse
from a funeral, thougnt, as tbe weather was so
fine, that it would bo the time to bury Miss
Boust, whose remains laid in tbe coffin as
natural as though she was asleep. Driving to
the house of death Bright unfolded his desires,
and a: last the mother consented. While tbe
family prepared for tbe interment. Bright col
lected the pall bearers for the second time, and
an hour later the remains were taken quietly
to tbe cemetery without a minister being
present
