GOBIN IS GETTING READ! TO BOLT
Congressman Dalzell states that Lea's
open letter to President Harrison contains
the truth and nothing bnt the truth. He
farther says that unless Quay is unloaded
by the Republicans the party itself -will be
unloaded. I Representative Culbertson does
not take such a radical view of the situation.
General Osborne has declined to head an
independent ticket.
rritosr A ETArp cobbespostekt.1
Washington, April 10. The open let
ter of Mr. Henry C. Lea to President Har
rison was the subject of a good deal of gossip
at the Canital to-day. Senator Quay's
friends, who are ol course greatly in the ma
jority, made light of the matter, generally
on the ground that Lea has been a chronic
Mugwump reformer for years, who was never
satisfied with anything. Eastern members
of Congress, who well know Mr. Lea, re
fused to be quoted simply because they did
not care to attach any importance to the let
ter, which, they declared, would have no
effect whatever.
Representative Culbertson, of Erie, cho
has been often quoted as an anti-Quay man,
said that he had not yet read the letter, but
irom conversation with others had caught
its drift. He could not say what weight, if
any, it would have, but it seemed to him
that even anti-Quay Eepublicans could not
overlook the fact to fight Quay practically
meant under present conditions to fight the
Republican party.
NOT A RADICAL YET.
That was a serious matter, and he was
not yet ready to take such a step. He had
not felt lriendly to Mr. Quay on account of
his interference with appointments in his
district, but that was a thing not to be con
sidered at- all when the success of the
party was at stake, and good Republicans
would sink animosities which were largely
based on personal grounds.
Mr. Will Henry, of Armstrong county.
Chief of the Division of Indian Accounts
of the Treasury Department, is an intimate
personal friend of Senator Quay. Speak
ing of the Lea letter he said to-day: "Mr.
Lea's complaint against Senator Quay
seems to be based entirely on a series of
articles in a sensational Democratic news
paper in which recklessness is written in
every paragraph. He thinks Mr. Quay
ought to say something in regard to the
charges. Now, if others, like Mr. Lea, give
credence to these articles, why is it that no
Republican or independent newspaper in
Pennsylvania of any standing has even
mentioned their publication.
THEY ALL IOTOW HIM.
"Surely the people of Pennsylvania have
had as good an opportunity to know Mr.
Quay as any writer for a newspaper which
is nothing if not sensational, and it is a libel
on the people of Pennsylvania to say that
tney, knowing such tilings to be true of any
public man, would keep him constantly in
office and always seek opportunity to ad
vance him. On the one hand are a mass of
reckless charges, and on the other, the man
against whom they are made, in the United
States Senate and at the head of the If atiooal
Committee of his party, and that after long
years in full view of his party and. the
people of Pennsylvania, his every act
analyzed and diagnosed. It seems to me
that Mr. Lea should abuse the people of
Pennsylvania rather than President Har
rison or Senator Quay, if anybody is to be
abused. It was Senator Quay's brilliant
management that put the Republican party
once again in control of the Government,
and naturally this turns upon him all the
bitterness and venom of the Democrats, but
unless Republicans regret the victory of their
own party I don't see why they should add
their howls to those ot the discomfited Demo
crats." DECIDEDLY INCISIVE.
Representative Dalzell, when asked what
he thought of Mr. Lea's letter, said: "Well,
in the first place it is a piece of remarkable
English, clear, pointed, elegant and very in
cisive. Mr. Lea sjmply says in a pungent
way to the President what good Republicans
have been saying to each other for a long
time. Mr. Quay is the representative of Penn
sylvania in the United States Senate. "What
ever hurts him necessarily hurts the people
of the Commonwealth whose honor he has
in his keeping.
"No wonder they speak out when he is at
tacked. His position proclaims him to be,
according to their judgment, one of their
foremost men. The world will judge them
by him. I wonder are they prepared to be
so judged? "What Mr. Lea says about the
subserviency ot the President to Mr. Quay
is, unfortunately, absolutely true, and the
result is that few men in Pennsylvania now
aspire to any ofiice until they first go and
ask Mr. Quay's permission. That sort of
thing can't last long. Decent, self-respecting
men can't but resent, and the plain
common people will eventually overthrow
this one-man power and make an end of
bossism for a time at least."
THE EXACT SITUATION.
"The truth is, that to an independent
honest Pennsylvanian in public life there is
bnt one of two alternatives, either to resent
this bossism or to go back to his private af
fairs. I don't pretend to have, any special
political influence, and I regret the adver
' t
tisement that the newspapers have been
giving me as an oprionent of Mr. Quay, but
in my humble capacity as a citizen, having
Republican success near at heart, I am firm
ly persuaded that unless the Republican
party in Pennsylvania unloads Mr. Quay it
will itself be unloaded. It would not be
proper for me to make any observations
about Mr. Harrison. It is to be presumed
that he has fully considered what his rela
tions to Mr. Quay ought to be. But I be
lieve, as Mr. Lea says, that he will probably
be called upon to share the losses as well as
the gains of any joint venture.
PLANS OF THE KICKERS.
There is a great deal of querying as to what
course the opponents of the Senator will
pursue in the coming State contest. Some
favor the nomination of an independent
Republican ticket, as in 1882, and others a
direct vote for the Democratic candidate if
a confessed Quay man like Senator Delama
ter be nominated by the Republicans. This
latter proposition does not suit any but the
genuine mugwump Republicans, but on
the other hand no satisfactory candidate
can be found to head an independent move
ment. General Osborne has been sounded
repeatedly in this direction, but steadily re
fuses, saying if he cannot get the regular
nomination he will support whoever is nom
inated by the convention. Lightnee.

SPECIAL TELEQBAM TO THE DISPATCH. I
Philadelphia, April 10. Senator
Quay will to-morrow meet Mayor Fitler for
the purpose of again discussing the condi
tion of the Republican party in the State,
and the availability of the several candi
dates mentioned for the Republican nomina
tion for Governor. When the day ex
press from the west rolled into Broad
street station to-night at 6:50 Senator Quay
and his son Richard stepped from it and
were at once driven to the Continental
Hotel. When Senator Quay was askea re
garding the rumor that Senator Delamater
was to be switched off in the race for the
Republican nomination, he declared that
he was still continuing his policy
of non-interference, and that if Delamater
was to be switched off he would have to do
the switching himself, as he (Delamater)
was making the fight for the nomination on
his own merits.
Charles H. Mullin, of Cumberland coun
ty, who was a delegate to the National Re
publican Convention of 1888, speaking of
the coming Republican State Convention
and its outcome, said: "My impression is
that Senator Delamater, of Crawford county,
will be named as a candidate for Governor.
The flurry of the past week, in my judg
ment, will not amount to anything. I
personally favor the nomination of Senator
Delamater, because I consider him the most
available candidate."
"Two-thirds of the delegates to the Dem
ocratic State Convention will vote for Sena
tor Wallace's nomination for Governor."
said John S. Ennis, the well-known Demo
cratic politician of Pittsburg. "He
is well known to our people as a first
class organizer, and we feel that in the
fight this fall we need a man to lead us who
is thoroughly capable to compete with the
leaders of the opposition. With Mr. Wal
lace as our candidate," continued Mr. En
nis, "we would go into the contest this
fall with the belief that ,our party
will poll its full vote or nearly to. The old
feeling which has existed between the Ran
dallites and the Wallaceites has been en
tirely wipedontand our country would do its
level best to poll its fall strength for Wal
lace as the nominee for Governor."

Hareisburg, April 10. General Gobin
was here to-day taking testimony in a case
involving connter claims to ex-Senator
Wright and ex-Congressman Miller, arising
out of business in connection with the
soldiers' orphan schools. While in the city
the General took time to say that Delamater
would not be a safe man to head the Repub
lican ticket, and that if the Democrats
nominated a man for whom the Republicans
could conscientiously support he would be
defeated. The General did not say that he
would bolt the ticket if Delamater were
chosen, but intimated strongly that if the
Democrats placed in the field a certain can
didate he would vote for him in preference
to the Crawford county Senator. The trick
by which Delamater delegates were elected
in Cambria county received his unqualified
denunciation.
The nomination of Wallace by the Demo
crats, he thought, would elect Delamater,
because it would drive many Republicans
on the verge of rebellion to the latter's sup

I8PECIAL TELEQBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New Yoke, April 10. A broken elec
tric wire dangled over the Jamaica and East
New York Electric Railway, in the princi
pal street of Jamaica to-day, when a bakers'
wagon driven by J. Nostrand, came down
the track on the way to Brooklyn. The
broken wire which had not been noticed by
the driver, caught the horse about the neck,
throwing him to the ground. The horse
emitted a piercing cry, shook convulsively
and was dead.
The driver jumped out of the wagon and
started toward the town hall for help. A
crowd collected about the spot, but no one
ventured to touch the wire. Finally Liv
ingston, Bogart, an electrician who lived
near the place, removed the broken wire.
The horse's neck was almost burned in two
and the metal of the harness was melted.

Exciting Scenes at tbe Illinois Conference of
the ErangeUcal Association Bishop
Eshcr's Friends Break Avray
From tho Main Body.
Chicago, April 10. There was a large
gathering of the clergy and laity of the
Evangelical Association at the meeting of
the Illinois Conference in the Sheffield Ave
nue Church this morning. As some dis
turbance was feared owing to the state of
feelings of the two parties into which the
association is divided through the troubles
among the bishops, a policeman was on
hand to keep order. Bishop J. J. Esher
nominated the Rev. D. B. Byen. as Tempor
ary Chairman. Mr. Byers attempted to read
a Scripture lesson, but was so interrupted by
the friends of Bishop Esher thai a hymn was
sung, and then the storm having quieted,
devotions were continued by Rev. Mr.
Byers. After prayer and another
hymn, the Chairman read the
rules governing the organization.
The interruption then broke out afresh and
continued for some time, till the Rev. W.
S. Goessele and C. Himmell called out for
tbe members of the Illinois Conference to
withdraw to the Wisconsin street church,
where the conference would be organized at
10 A. M. In answer to this call 26 active
aud G local ministers withdrew, leaving
some 70 ministers in the conference.
The adherents of Bishop Esher arrived at
tbe Wisconsin Street Church shortly before
10 o'clock and immediately proceeded to
organize themselves into a conference.
Bishop Esher delivered an address, in
which he reviewed the situation. He
pointed out that at his first
trial he was acquitted of the
charges brought against him, but that the
Pennsylvania conference had summoned
him to appear and had tried him in his ab
sence. He! hadn't received one line or scrap
of evidence of an ofhcial character that he
had been deposed, and he still claimed the
right to preside at the Illinois conference
from which they had been driven out.
At the Wisco'nsin Street Church a motion
was adopted that notice be sent to preachers
in the other faction, that if they desired to
join the real and only conference they will
be given until 2 o'clock to-morrow to do so,
after which time all remaining out
will be expelled from the Church.
At the afternoon session of the Sheffield
avenue conference Mr. Byers, the Chair
man, was noticeably silent, the Esher fac
tion having sued out a writ of replevin to
get the records of the conference. A con
stable tried to serve it, but Mr. Byers and
the records were not in sight
THE LATEST GOBBLE.
Paper Mills to be Controlled by nn En
glish Syndicate Options Secured on
a Two-Thirds Intorest In New
York Concerns.
TEFSCIAL TELEOEAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Glens Falls, N. Y., April 10. The
proprietors of the Glens Falls Paper
Mill, the mills at Palmer's Falls, Watertown
and Rochester, were approached by the
Untermeyer Bros., lawyers, last summer,
and asked to name a price for a two -thirds
interest in the mills. Tbe brothers said that
they were acting as the representatives of a
great English syndicate of capitalists who
wished to invest their money in this coun
try. At different times during the summer
the proprietors of the mills talked over the
matter with the Untermyer Bros., and the
brothers finally secured an option on a two
thirds interest in all the mills.' The valne
placed on the entire plant of the Glens
Falls property was $1,400,000. In Novem
ber M. A. Sheldon, one of the brightest
legal minds in the State, and one of the best
versed lawyers regarding corporation laws
in the country, was employed by the stock
holders of the Glens Falls Mill to visit
England and investigate the standing of the
syndicate members. Mr. Sheldon wrote
from London that tbe syndicate was com
posed of wealthy capitalists and that they
were in every way responsible. In the
midst of the negotiations Mr. Sheldon was
taken suddenly ill with the grip, which
developed into acute pneumonia and be died
despite the fostering care oi the best nurses
and skilled London physicians.
Nothing was said of the proposed sale for
a few weeks and negotiations were supposed
to have been broken off. A few weeks ago
three Englishmen arrived in Glens Falls
and put up unostentatiously at the Rock
well House. They said nothing about their
business, but it was learned that they were
here for the purpose of inspecting the
plant. One of them was William Bertram,
of Bertrams, St. Katberine's Works, Edin
burgh, Scotland, a leading member of the
Institute of Mechanical Engineering, and
who is practically informed in all respects
regarding the manufacture of paper. He
was accompanied by Charles March and K.
Young, two expert accountants. It is on
the report of these three men that the sale of
the four large mills depends. They next vis
ited the mills at Palmer's Falls. From that
point they went to Watertown and thence to
Rochester.
The trio have completed their investiga
tions and it is understood that the report
returned to the members of the syndicate in
England has been most favorable. The
purchase price will be $8,000,000 and there
is not the shadow oi a doubt that the con
tracts for the disposal of the mills will be
signed before many days. The main offices
will be located in New York City.
OFFICERS WATCHING AKCHEK.
The Defaulting Treasurer Shadowed, An
other Deficiency Being Discovered.
lEI'ECIAL TKLEGBAK TO TIIH DISPATCH.I
Baltimore, April 10. After a long con
sultation this evening with Attorney Gen
eral Whyte and Police Marshal Frey, Gov
ernor Jackson determined to place the de
faulting State Treasurer under surveillance,
and Detective Humphrey was at once sent
up to Belair to keep a watch on Archer. A
notice was sent to the latter this evening to
appear at Annapolis next Tuesday and an
swer the charge of malfeasance which the
committee preferred to-day. The plan now
is to remove Archer immediately after the
proposed hearing and then to proceed
against him criminally.
Another deficiency of $56,500 was discov
ered to-day all registered State bonds.
Where this money is cannot now be ascer
tained, but whoever bought them will have
to make the amount good to the State.
Archer is still sick and said to be improv
ing very slowly.
State Treasurer Archer was arrested to
night at his home, "Hazel Dell," near
Belair. He was too sick to be removed,
and an officer was placed in the house.
AFBAID OF A SILTEK BILL,
Because the Presidrnt May Veto It, Even if
It is Passed.
Washington, April 10. Two days'
notice secured a full attendance for the cau
cus of Republican "Representatives to-night.
The object of the call, as announced by
Representative Dingley, who presided, was
the arrangement of an order of business
for the remainder of the session, but it
soon transpired that the silver problem was
of such engrossing interest as to throw other
matters into the background.
The feature of the debate was the remark
able strength of the free coinage man, and,
as an Eastern member expressed it, the
House is apparently restained from passing
a free coinage bill only from fear of a Presi
dents! veto.

The arrival of a Carlist leader at Valencia
aroused the ire of his political opponents
and led to riots, during which attempts were
made to destroy churches and hotels. In
the subsequent conflict between the troops
and rioters many of the latter were wounded.
Madrid, April 10. The arrival of the
Carlist leader, Marquis Cerralbo, at Valen
cia to-day, was made the occasion of an
anti-Carlist demonstration. Thousands of
anti-Carlists met at the station and lollowed
tbe Marquis to his hotel. They smashed
many windows of the hotel and tried to set
fire to the building, when a detachment of
troops charged and dispersed the mob. Manv
persons were wounded. The excitement
continues.
A mob of 2,000 persons invaded the
Carlist Club and set fire to the furniture.
When the firemen came the mob tried to
obstruct them. The mob then smashed and
burned a carriage in the courtyard. Another
mob tried to burn a church, but was pre
vented by a detachment of troops. The
troops have failed, however, to disperse the
constantly gathering crowds. The fatter
have built two barricades in the streets.
The military authorities have taken posses
sion of the city and the whole garrison is
under arms.
At midnight the rioting continues. The
troops have made several charges, Many
persons have been injured and it is reported
some have been killed, though orders were
given to avoid bloodshed as long as possible.
BUBBER FOR THE WORLD.
Stanley Gives A way nn Important Secret lie
Wns Savins for His Book.
Bbindisi, April 10. Mr. Stanley was
interviewed on' his arrival here. In speak
ing of Emin, Mr. Stanley said he did not
believe he would try to reconquer the Equator
province, as it would be necessary to eject
the Mahdists who have overrun the province.
With reference to the claims made by the
Germans to territory in Africa, Mr. Stanley
said he was astonished at their pretensions.
They apparently claimed the whole of that
country. The Germans, he said, could se
cure the services of Tippoo Tib if they paid
him the price he demanded.
Under much pressure Mr. Stanley stated
an important fact, which he had intended to
mention solely in his forthcoming book, and
that was that Aruwhimi forest, which
belongs to the Congo Free State, was
enormously richer in everything, especially
in rubber trees, thsn the Amazon forests.
This section of Africa, he declared, would
be the rubber reservoir of the universe.
King Humbert and Prime Minister Crispi
telegraphed messages of welcome to Mr.
Stanley. .,

London, April 10. Mr. Chamberlain
said he considered Randolph Churchill's
fears regarding the land purchase bill great

suppose that the bill was founded on En
glish credit He thought that the danger
of the Government becoming the landlord

He hoped that before the land purchase
bill left the House of Commons the Govern
ment would interfere and introduce an

BT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.l
Berlin, April 10. A scrofulous affec
tion, dormant in the blood of the Emperor
of Germany, but which had apparently died
out, has showed itself of late with renewed
virulence. A scrofulous discharge from his
right ear is so offensive that lie is foreed to
plug it with a large wad of, antiseptic wool,
and contrary to all court etiquette, His
Majesty sits on the right hand of the Em
press when driving. His face is of a sickly
pallor, which is intensified by the shade his
helmet exsts over it.
Social and political tronbles and incura
ble sleeplessness account for the fact that
His Majesty is never seen to smile. Two,
or at most, three hours' consecutive slumber
is ail he ever gets. His physicians have
ceased to administer drags, and recommend
constant exercise and change of scene. On
April 13 the Emperor will go to Wartburg,
the place where Luther threw his inkstand
at the devil, and thence on the 21st to
Bremen, in which loyal city a great ovation
is expected to take place.
The leading medical authorities of En
gland and Germany give the Emperor ten
years of life, or sanity, at the outside. It is
believed that His Majesty is aware of the
short span of existence he is doomed to, and
hence his stern, melancholy demeanor and
anxious preparation of the little Crown
Prince for the arduous character of a boy
Emperor, which he .is likely to be called on
to undertake.
BANKER WARD'S WIFE DEAD,
Ho Is Much Affected When IIo Hears the
News in Sine Sing.
rSPSCTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.3
New York, April 10. Ella C. Ward,
wife of Ferdinand Ward, the ex-banker, now
in Sing Sing, and daughter of the late Sid
ney Green, cashier of the Marine Bank, died
to-day in Stamford, Conn., of inflammation
of the stomach. She was about 35 years of
age, and was still comely at the time of her
death. She lived in a roomy house with her
'Bon, who is about 17 years old. Ferdinand
Ward was sentenced to ten years' penal
servitude on November 1, 1885, so that his
sentence has still two years to run, with full
commutation for good conduct. The news of
the death of Mrs. Ward reached her hus
band in Sing Sing prison at noon. When
the dispatch was handed him, while at work
in the prison printing office, he was very
jnueh affected.
As soon as he informed Deputy Warden
.Brush of his bereavement, permission was
given him to go to his cell for the day.
Warden Brush will in ail probabilty allow
Ward to attend the funeral of his wife,
under the escort of a prison guard. Ward
was very devoted to" his wile and she has
visited him every two months since he has
been in prison. In the little shop where he
works he had the picture of his wife and
child always before him.
EMMA STARK'S EXPERIMENT.
She Wanted to Determine the Amount of
Poison Which Would be Fntal.
Chicago, April lol Emma Stark, the
servant girl who is under arrest, charged
with putting poison in the food she cooked
for a family named Newland, which resulted
'lathe death of Mr. and Mrs. Newland and
the dangerous illness of their two children,
has made a full confession. The confession
was obtained from the girl by Chief of
Police Marsh, in person. She said:
I did not, as you think, obtain a place with
the Newland family with a premeditated plan
to kill them. It was to, secure a place where I
might kill myself that I went there. The world
appeareddark to me. I had been betrayed.
As soon as I got the chance, I borrowed enough
money to secure the poison. Not knowing just
how it acted, and wishing to be sure of the
amount of the drug necessary to produce a
more serious effect than mere nausea, I just
dropped a little in the corn. I wanted to watch
the effect that the dose would have upon those
who ate the corn. Alas for me, I put in too
much, with the result that you know. I, too,
partook of the corn, but It only made roe sick.
After seeing the result of my work, I should
have taken tbe remainder of the poison, but
was too unnerved. Believe me. I did not intend
to kill any of the family; I wanted to die my
self. Will they bang me? Ob, that is too terri
ble. Please get me some poison and let me end
my life.
BANKER C0L0MA RELEASED.

New York," April 10. Wealthy Miguel
Coloma, a banker of Guatemala, who was
recently arrested on the charge of smuggling
several thousand dollars' worth of watches
aud jewelry, was released by United States
Commissioner Shields to-day.
Mr. Coloma arrived here on the French
liner and had in his possession many
presents in the shape of jewelry for the
members of, his household and his servants.
The various pieces were engraved with the
names of the persons for whom they were
intended. Something about the banker's
appearance attracted the attention of the
sharp-eyed Customs Inspectors and he was
searched. These articles of jewelry were
found concealed in his boots and about his
person. The Guatemalean Consul soon in
terested himself in tbe case. After several
hearings the case was concluded to-day as
stated.
EX-G0YERN0R CORNELL MISSING.
His Creditors Would Like to Discover His
Present Location.
NEW York, April 10. Some creditors of
Alonzo B. Cornell who have obtained judg
ments against him on some unpaid notes
aggregating about $7,000 are anxious to
ascertain where he is at present, in order
that the Sheriff may serve the necessary
papers upon him. For the past two or three
weeks process-servers have sought the ex
Governor in vain, and have, it is said, at
last become tired of looking for him.
At the Third National this afternoon and
at the Broadway Bank, nothing has been
heard of Mr. Cornell to-day, although the
officers said they wanted to reach him badly.
Another attachment against Mr. Cornell
was taken out to-day by the Broadway
Bank.

As soon as they were permitted to leave
Castle Garden they started in gangs for
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Chicago.
Several, however, remained in this city.
While there was no proof that they came
here under contract padrones, it is believed
the law has been violated.

Honrs at the Old
The agitation for fewer hours of labor is
spreading. The New York carpenters have
deeided upon demanding an eight-hour day,
the Chicago strikers are firm and confident,
and from other places comes the report that
the movement is rapidly growing.
(SPECIAL TELEQBAM TO THE DISPATCH.1,
New York, April 10. All the principal
employing carpenters in town said to-day
that they have bad no conferences so far
with their employes or any one else over the
eight-hour work day. Several of them added
that it seemed to them that though the car
penters' meeting at Webster Hall finally
decided by a unanimous vote to ask for the
eight-hour work day, there was evidently
some doubt whether they would really put
the vote into effect. Most of the bosses said
that their workingmen were well satisfied.
Not all the carpenters in this vicinity have
changed from the ten-hour to a nine-hour
day yet.
"The carpenters in factories in Brooklyn,
Staten Island and surrounding towns," said
a member of one firm, "are still working ten
hours. It is hardly to be expected that we
who work only nine hours will concede any
more; the carpenters will not be likely to
ask it of us."
FIGHTING among themselves.
The carpenters' unions which belong to the
American Federation of Labor are those
which form the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners. They were selected
from all the organizations in the American
Federation early in March to begin the fight
for eight hours. There was no organization
of carpenters in this city under the banner
of the United Brotherhood then, but one
was organized at once. The other three car
penteri'"organizations have been fighting
them. The United Order of American Car
penters and Joiners were not represented at
the meeting. The other two unions are di
vided upon the subject.
Walking Delegate Alfred Ashley, of the
Amalgamated Carpenters, said to-day that
making the vote of the Webster Hall meet
ing unanimous settled the question as to an
eight-hour work day. The carpenters were
sure to get it, because all the bosses that he
had talked with had agreed to concede it.
WILE CALL UPON THE BOSSES.
A committee representing the meeting
would call upon the boss carpenters in a few
days. Then there will probably be a meet
ing of the employers to take united action.
Samuel Gompers said to-day he was entirely
satisfied with the outcome of the meeting.
A meeting of the American District Com
mittee of the Amalgamated Society of Car
penters and Joiners was held at "the resi
dence of the Secretary. George Cavanaugb,
last nieht. A resolution was passed pledg
ing the adherence of the Amalgamated
Society to -"the 'resolutions passed at the
meeting of the Carpenters' Union on
Wednesday, and voting the sum of $1,000 to
aid the striking carpenters in Chicago.
MEN ORDERED TO QDIT WORK.
Non-Union Employers Obtain Police Protec
tion for Their Carpenters.
Chicago, April 10. The striking car
penters in Lake have resorted to intimida
tion. Yesterday afternoon they visited the
vicinity of Lincoln avenue, where James
Gilmore had a force of men at work on
several houses, and also Ashland avenue,
where some 50 men were at work putting up
a building. In both instances the strikers
compelled the men to quit work for the time
being. Later in the day, however, they re
sumed their work under the protection of
the police.
Wm. Johnson, a carpenter, was arraigned
before Justice Caldwell yesterday on com
plaint of Joseph Ackerman on the charge of
assault. Ackerman was at work on a build
ing, and Johnson ordered him to quit, and
upon his refusal to do so, assaulted him.
The hearing was continued till Saturday.
CHICAGO CARPENTERS CONFIDENT.
Owners of Unfinished BulTdinss Becoming;
Fenriul of Losing Rents.
CniCAGO, April 10. The carpenters'
strike is still on, and the men continue con
fident of success. The owners of large build
ings which are nearing completion are
growing restless at the delay, fearing a
large loss in rentals, which generally begin
on the first of May. They threaten to put
the contracts into other hands unless the
work is resumed speedily.
One hundred cigar rollers employed in
the Columbia Cigar Factory foined the fifty
bunch-makers who struck yesterday. They
will all join the union. The proprietor has
advertised for non-union men to fill the
strikers' places.

IOWA STILL DKY.
The Legislature Refuses to Disturb the
Present Prohibitory Laws Two High
License Bills Shelved by the
State Senate. ,
Des Moines, April 10. There seems to
be little probability that the present Legis
lature will dirtUrb Iowa's prohibition law.
The license measures that have been advo
cated are practically dead.
The Senate spent to-day considering two
license bills, one by Schmidt, in accordance
with the Democratic platform, and the
other by Lawrence, a Republican. Both
bills were lost on engrossment. All license
bills which have come before the Senate
have now either been defeated or indefin
itely postponed. In the House the Schmidt
bill is on the calendar with a recommefhda
tion from the Committee of the Whole for
its indefinite postponement, and as the
House stands 51 for prohibition and
40 for license there is little hope there for
the bill.
The Schmidt bill provides forthecallinglof
an election to decide for or against license;
elections not to be held oftener than every
two years. If it is decided for license the
power of issuing shall be vested in the Dis
trict Court, and all applications must be
published ;ior at least two weeks de
ciding previous to issuance. Remon
strances will be considered by the conrt.
The minimum license fee was fixed at ?500,
all of which shall go to the county, and the
corporations may impose and collect addi
tional license. A 55,000 bond must be given
by the person getting license for the proper
observation of law, and penalties for evasions
are provided.
The Lawrence bill provides in a similar
manner for elections, and if license carries,
the Governor shall anpoint three Excise
Commissioners for the "locality, who shall
have power to issue or revoke licenses.
The minimum fee is ?300, all of which goes
to the city treasury. The person receiving
license must file a bond for the observance
of the law. Restrictions are made that no
liquor should be sold to minors or habitual
drunkards; all saloons to open on public
streets and to be closed by 11 P. M. on all
days, all day long on election days and
Sundays; no games to be permitted, no
screens and no music. Permits to manu
facturers shall be granted in counties for
license.
BROTHER AND SISTER INSANE.
They Leave Home Sane and Are Brought
Back Having Iliad.
Wichita, Kan., April 10. An inex
plicable case of insanity is that of Simon
and Rose Bolien, son and daughter of a
wealthy farmer near Derby, who arrived
here at noon from Dodge City in charge of
the Sheriff. A week ago Rose left home for
California. Three days later word reached
the parents that she was ill at El Paso, Tex.,
and her brother Simon was sent alter her.
Nothing more was heard of them till yester
day, when the Sheriff received a message
from Dodge City saving the pair were vio
lently insane. Simon arrived in shackles,
and his sister's face and eyes were black
and swollen and her neck horribly gashed,
where her brother had struck her and cut
her.
The two were put off a train at Dodge Cifv
on Tuesday and handed overto the Marshal.
Not realizing how violent they were the offi
cer failed to handcuff his prisoners. In a
few minutes bedlam was turned loose in the
neighborhood, and it took a large posse to
recapture the Boilens. They were placed
in the same room and left, but only for a
moment, when the shrieks of a girl brought
a rescuing party. On the floor lay the sister,
her brother beating and chokintr her and
gouging her neck with a sharp iron. The
whole affair is mysterious. In his more
lucid intervals Simon claims that they
were drugged.

SPEClAI. TELEOEAM TO THE DISPATCH.I
Columbus, O., April 10. The Legisla
ture became industrious and is in session
to-night passing local bills. They expect
to get away in ten days. No measures of
importance were enacted into laws to-day.
In the House the Mallon election bill was
under consideration. It is a modification
of the Australian system, and provides for a
State and County Board of Election. So
many amendments were offered and agreed
to that the bill had to be postponed one
week and be printed.
During the discussion there were strong
charges made in regard to election frauds in
different parts of the State. Monnott, of
Stark, exposed the system in that county,
and claimed that at least 25 per cent of
the voters in it were purchasable. It is be
lieved the bill will become a law unless the
close ol the session cuts it off.

British Americans of Brookline, Mass.,
offered -to place a flag over the school house.
The pupils of Irish extraction thereupon
left in a body, with the constituted authori
ties in fierce but ineffectual pursuit. The
boys have volunteered to procure an Ameri
can ensign themselves for the building.
rSPXCIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DI3rATCS.l
Boston, April 10. There is a queer
rumpus at Brookline, which terminated to
day in open rebellion by the boys of the
William H. Lincoln Grammer School, all
of whom left the school in a body. Then
followed the undignified spectacle of two
school committeemen, a master of the school
and a superintendent of streets, chasing four
score lively boys through the streets in a
vain effort to capture one of the rebels and
make an example of him. There was the
liveliest kind of cross country running for
more than half an hour and then the digni
taries gave up the chase.
a peculiar trouble.
The hoys added to the sting of defeat by
congregating at a respectful distance and
cheering their pursuers. The boys are
nearly all ol Irish-American parentage, and
the trouble was the result of an effort on the
part of the British-American society to
present a flaj to the school. The Irish
American blood could not stand that, and
they declined the gift without thanks. To
show their patriotism they opened a sub
scription list and planned to buy their own
flag.
The boys had been led to suppose that the
flag which the British-Americans had
offered was to be raised this afternoon, and
as the boys had expressed a desire to pur
chase their own flag they withdrew from the
building and proceeded to "make Rome
howl" as an indication of their dissatisfac
tion with the programme of the school mag
nates. The unfortunate state of affairs
which interferes with tbe discipline of the
Brookline school system had its origin about
two months ago. The offer of the British
American Club was made just before an un
usually red-hot town meeting.
A POLITICAL mote.
The two leading candidates for Selectmen
were Chester and Hand. Chester was
backed up by the British-Americans aud
Hand was strongly supported by the Irish
Americans. When the offer ot a flag was
made the latter claimed that it was made in
the interests of Mr. Chester. This led to a
bitter internal rivalry, which has been in
tensified by the boys rebelling to-day.
It is very probable that the matter will not
be pressed by the British-Americans, who
state that as yet they had not purchased the
flag, and will therefore be $50 in pocket.
Next Monday the School Board meets, and
the boys' petition is likely to be dealt with
in a manner that will satisfy all concerned.
The matter caused one of the greatest sensa
tions that has ever excited the sedate com
munity. A BROTHER'S NA3IE
Is Claimed by SIstare &Bros. to be Worib
less on a Note for S23.000.
New York, April 10. Judge" Andrews,
of the Supreme Court, has refused to vacate
an order for the examination of Stephen K.
Stanton of this city, and directs Mr. Stan
ton to appear in chambers April 15, to tell
what he knows about a note of $25,000 upon
which he has begun a suit against William
H. Sistare, George K. Sistare and Alex. M.
Stamon. The note in question was executed
in Detroit, September 28, 1885, by Alex. M.
Stanton, brother of the plaintiff who signed
the firm name of George K. Sistare's
Sons.
The firm claims that the plaintiff who
was Chief of Police, of Detroit, at the time
well knew that his brother had no right to
sign the firm's name, that he had no author
ity to borrow or loan money in the name
of the firm, that his authority ended with
obtaining orders for the purchase and sale
of stocks and that he was at the time of the
alleged delivery of the note a defaulter to a
large amount. It is also set up that the
plaintiff did not have $25,000 to lend and
that he has received as collateral for the
note stock of the Detroit Street Company of
the value of $25,000. The plaintiff avers
that he believed and still believes his
brother was a partner in the firm, and de
clares that he took the note in good faith,
