TALK WITH LECONEY.
The Acquitted Man Will Not Leave
the Old Farm.
HE EXPECTS TO BE VINDICATED,
And Btill Hopes to Secure the Arrest of
.Annie's .Murderer.
OLD FKILXDS STILL STICK TO III1I
Philadelphia, May L The hot rays
of the spring sun shone full in the weather
beaten face of Chalkley Leconey as be plowed
his potato field opposite the tragic farm
home near Merchantville, N. J., the scene
dfthe horrible murder of Annie Leconey,
his niece. His face was bronzed as when he
was arrested for the brutal murder. The
sleemot his shirt were rolled up and the
arms of a woolen undershirt were open to
Tiew. He wore a pair of dark brown
breeches similar to thoss-tbat were produced
in the great Camden Court House trial when
Chalkley's life hung on a mere thread. The
dark trousers were those which his counsel
contended he wore on the fatal nmrnintr in
stead of the white blood-stained trousers
that the State had brought as evidence
against the man. A large broad-brimmed
straw hat covered his head and completed
his outfit
Although the great murder trial was
brought to a close nearly two months ago
with the acquittal of Chalkley, the echoes
of the eTent are still with his neighbors,
who fonght hard on the witness stand to se
cure his liberty. Most of his friends still
hold the most implicit faith in his inno
cence, and the old weather beaten mill by
the farm house agaiu is the rendezvous
where jokes are cracked and the latest
news told. As to the tragedy Itself, It is a
mystery.
XOSE KSOW THE MITEDEKKK.
The fjOO reward which Chalkley offered
to any person Riring information that may
lead to the detection of the person or persons
who murdered his niece has so far failed to
solve the mystery of the tragedy, and there
is a general impression that the truth will
never be known. "While this is true. Court
Clerk Edward Burreuehs, who worked so
indefatigably for Chalkley's exculpation, is
busily engaged in an endeavor to discover
the real murderer, and Sheriff Baird, of
Camden county, is rendering him whatever
assistance is needed.
Clerk Burroughs said yesterday in a tone
of confidence that the time is not far distant
when Chalkley will be vindicated in the
eyes of the world, and that the guilty person
will be brought before the bar of justice to
suffer the penalty for his atrocious crime.
The way in which Chalkley Leconey spoke
yesterday showed to all appearances that he
is heartily anxious that the tragedy be
thoroughly investigated, and that he is
ready to take an active part in sifting the
mystery.
CHAXKLET? HAED AT TVOBK.
As a reporter entered the potato patch in
which the farmer was plowing the liberated
man left his team atd approached. Ifear
Chalkley was his aged brother .Tames, and
the two seemed to be in not a very pleasant
irameot mina. i.nev did not wish to hold
an interview with any newspaper man. At
firt Chalkley was extremely indignant and
cried out:
"Coniound it, will these newspaper re
porters ever cease coming here. I have no
lime to talk. Newspapers have helped to
ruin me."
After a few moments Chalkley's wrath
subsided, and he very agreeably entered into
a short conversation.
"I have nothing aein the newspapers,"
continued Chalkley, "tor I know that they
want to print whatever news is going on.
But they have hit me pretty hard."
"Yes, but they are willing to vindicate
You in any proper wav, and the public
would like to know whether you have been
able to pet any information as to who killed
Annie."
Well, you can just sav that we are
hnntin' this matter up, and that I shall not
give it up until the last horn blows. Peo
ple who sav I don't want to investigate
this thing don't tell the truth. I always
tried to discover the murderer. There are
people claiming to have been friends of
mine who testified that I refused to assist in
ferreting out the matter. They are no
friends of mine. They needn't come around
and tell me pretty things now. Thank
God, about all ot my neighbors stuck by

Beaveb Palls, May 1. Senator. Quay
was interviewed At his home in Beaver re
garding the report that he was about to re
sign the chairmanship of the National Re
publican Committee.
At first he was inclined to say but little
regarding it, but finally, in reply to a direct
question, he smilingly replied that he had
not any thonght of resigning, and
that in any event, he would never
retire when under the fire of
the enemy. Some months ago,
he had concluded to resign, in order to
relieve himself of the labor it imposes, and
thus secure more time to devote to his
official and private business but now lie
would not be permitted to take a Step that
would, at this time? be so gratifying to the
Democratic leaders, as his resignation of
the Chairmanship of the National Republi
can Committee.
He said the whole matter was an invention
of the enemy, and the Democratic press
wonid not accomplish its design to force
him out of the committee.

Exploalon of n Blast.
ntritCtAt. TELKOBAH TO TItS BISPATCTtt
Augusta, Ga., May 1. Two negroes
lost their lives by the Unexpected explosion
of a dynamite blast in Hancock county, at
the quarry of the Quincy Granite Company,
this afternoon. Several other workmen on
the place were more or less injured. An
drew Latimer, colored, one of the victims,,
was literally torn to pieces. Another
colored laborer named Burch was so badly
hurt that he cannot survive.
Quite a number were stauding about, and
it is a wonder more were not hurt. Some
blasting had been done, and it was thought
all the charges had been exploded. One of
the hands struck the fuse with a steel bar,
producing a spark, the explosion following.
WANTS A CHANGE.
Tho
New York Chamber of Commerce
Wnnta the Cnatome Altered.
New Yoek, May L At the annual
meeting nl the Chamber of Commerce of the
State of New York, held here to-day, the
following officers, to 6erve for the year end
ing May 7, 1891, were elected: President,
Charles S. Smith; IJirst Vice President,
Alexander E. Orr; Second Vice President,
Morris K. Jessup; Treasurer, Solon Hum
phreys; Secretary, George Wilson.
The usual committees were appointed,
and a resolution adopted indorsing the
trans'erof the Revenue Marine from the
Treasury to the Navy Department, and re
questing Senators and Representatives in
Congress to vote for its adoption.
A EATE WAR PBOBABLE,
Owinc to a Reduction on Freights to Eastern
Points.
Chicago, May L The railroadsoperating
between Chicago and the Ohio river have, In
connection with the Chesapeake and Ohio,
reduced the through rate on provision from
Chicago to Newport News to 23 cents per 100
pounds. The rate to that point has been
heretofore 27 cents, the same as to Baltimore,
against a 30-cent rate to New York.
Tne reduction may cause trouble, as it will
probably be met by the Baltimore and Ohio,
in which case the New York rate will be
pulled down.
KTT.T.Tn) BY BEUTAL TREATMENT.
"Have you succeeded in obtaining any
further light into the tragedy?"
"That's something that I can't talk about
just now. Just wait a little while."
TRYING TO EARN HIS BREAD.
-How has your health been since the
trial?"
"I am now feeling pretty well," answered
the liberated man, as he looked toward his
tragic home, "and am trying to earn enough
to get my bread and butter. The State has
ruined me, and mavbe I'll never get on mv
feet again. I didn't begin to do any work
until about three weeks ago, because the
prison left me very weak. I was fat and had
no strencth whatever. I suppose I weighed
about 175 pounds at the time of the trial.
Nowyou see I am thinner reckon about 20
pounds less. For the first three weeks after
the trial I remained about the hmicp nfi-;.
of catching my death of cold if I went out
to work. After that I began to do some
thing about the mill.and jost lately Istarted
to work hard. I have plowed two potato
fields, and I want to see if I can't pay some
of my debts off. Being put in jail made me
late in my farm work, but has especially
hurt my mill business. In the winter time
I used to do all my grinding. So the mill is
now not so well stocked as it was. I have
consequently, lost a few of my old cus
tomers, but my neighbors have all come
bacfc, and are buying a good deal of grain.
Yes, my arrest will always be a stain on
my life. I don't think I will ever regain
all the good will that I once held. Annie
was a good girl, and I loved her. I don't
see how people could imagine that I could
kill her. I shall stick to this old farm,
and here's where I want to be when I die."
is mere anythincr in particular that von
want to tell the public ?"
"Only that I am working hard to get
enough to eat and to regain what I have
been robbed of."
A CONTENTED HOUSEHOLD.
Chalkley then returned to his plow and
continued his work. Since the trial the
Leconey farm has been a lively place, and
iiio uucnin mau "as plenty or company.
Chalkley's brother James and his wile are
still there, besides his sister, Mrs. Joseph
Vance, and her hnsband. James is a very
elderly man and is not very strong. He
assists Clia'klej considerably about the
mill, however, and tne two are almost in
separable. The terrible ordeal through
which his brother had to pass has had the
effect of making James contented and happy
when he is with Chalkley.
It is not likely that he will return to his
home at Waverly, O., to live, although it
has been arranged that he and his wife will
only remain until the year is out. Mrs.
Leconey, the mother of the murdered girl,
attends to most of the household duties.
She feeds the chickens, and says that this
is her happiest duty to perform, because
Annie loved the chickens. The "half
drowned chicken," which figured so con
spicuously in the trial and saved the life
of Chalkley, still wears the red ribbon
badge around its left leg, and is the pride
of the farm.
Wandered Away and Died.

Horrible Story of Cruelty and Abnae on an
Ocean Steamer.
New York, May 1. Reinhard Sanger, a
sailor on the steamer City of Washington,
of the Ward Line, died on the vessel near
Havana, on April C, and was buried in that
city on the following day.
Messmates of the deceased now in the city
say his death was the result of brutal
treatment, and they accuse the first assist
ant engineer whose name is Rocke'elier.
They say he made the sailor work when he
was too ill to stand, and when he fell trom
sheer exhaustion Rockefeller kicked him.
Liabilities Flncrd nt $375,000, With
Aaiets Over 8100.000 Leaa.
tft-ECIAI MLEORAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, May 1. Techheimer, Rau
& Co., shirt manufacturers, at Broadway
and Franklin street, failed to-day and the
sheriff took possession. Blumcnstiel &
Hirscb entered confessed iudsmentsamount-
ing to $87,256 against the firm in favor of
the following creditors: Hanover National
Bank, S34.6G9; Central National Bank,
514,872; Abrahtm Backer, $10,031; Alex
Schlussel, $12,777; Hugh McKittrick, of
St. Louis, $14,907. All the judgments are
for borrowed money. The firm is composed
of Sigmund Techheimer and John Bau. In
July, 1889, they were worth $18S,000, of
which 518,000 was in real estate.
Mr. Blumenstiel said that the liabilities
would probably reach $375,000, of which
$200,000 is for borrowed money and accom
modations, the rest being for merchandise.
The assets were probably $250,000 to $270,
000 in stock accounts and machinery in the
jNew lorK uity lactory. Statements made
by Mr. Techheimer's son led to rumors that
speculation had been one of the catises of
the failure, but this was denied. Mr. Raum
said he thought the liabilities would not ex
ceed $325,000; the assets would amount to
$275,000, and perhaps more.
The great success and world-wide reputa
tion of "Au Bon Marche," in Paris, are due
to the uniform fairness, courtesy and liber
ality with which its business is conducted,
principles that have made it the favorite
resort of American shoppers in Europe.

The way in which Hood's Sarsapanlla builds
up people in run down or weakened state of
health, conclusiTdr proves the claim that this
medicine "makes the weak strong." It does
not act like a stimulant, imparting fictitious
strength from which there must follow a reac
tion of greater weakness lhan before, but in the
most natural wayHood'sSxrsaparilla overcomes
that tired feeling, creates an annetite. nurifles

During' the
Holidays we ad
vertised a Sec

Case at $25.
We distributed
a large number,
and yet were
unable to supply

wanted. We
now offer at $24 another
combination piece even bet
ter in design, cabinet work
and finish. It is a Parlor
Cabinet Writing Desk and
Book Case all in one (size
37 by 67 inches.)
The Book Case The four
adjustable shelves. will carry
50 or 60 volumes. The added
weight of books will give both
real and apparent solidity to
the whole. The glass door
keeps out all dust Worth
alone $15.
The Writing Desk The
face of the drop lid (as also
the door of the closet below)
is elegantly carved in heavy
relief. The interior arrange
ment of partitioned spaces for
writing materials and books is
just a good size for home
needs, or for a professional
man's daily use. Besides two
drawers, there is a closet be
lowwith two shelves. Worth
alone $20.
The Cabinet top, of grace
ful design and rich carving, is
backed by a beveled mirror
and is suitable for books or
decorative pottery. Worth

solid oak, in either the an
tique or sixteenth century fin
ish. Bookcase, closet, desk
and two drawers all have lock
and key. The handles, trim
mings and strap hinges on the
desk lid are of antique brass.
We cap the climax of ad
vantage by the price, $24,
which you would easily have
guessed for any one of the
pieces if separated.
It is but a sample of the
good values offered all
