A SO-CALLED CONSCIENCE FUND
Whose flijtory Closely Resembles That of
Snakes in Ireland.
UXEAKKED SALARIES AEE RETURNED
Onlj en Eire Occasions bj Statesmen of These Litter
Days.
An amusing and interesting history or
what is popnlarly known as the conscience
fund is given in the following dispatch.
Up to date only two Congressmen have
covered back into the Treasury money paid
to them through Silcott's defalcation. In
58 years the receipts of the conscience fund
were only 5220,000.
rFITCJAI TEIXGBAM TO TUB DISPATCH. 1
"Washington, May 2. Bepresentatives
Bland, of Missouri, and Sayres, ol Texas,
have returned to the Treasury a month's
pay, amounting to $116 each. This sum
they are entitled to, according to the de
cision of the Court of Claims, for money lost
through the Silcott defalcation. So far as
reported these two gentlemen are the only
members who have pursued such a course.
We often hear of the conscience fund in
the United States Treasury, but there is no
such thing. It is only a name; only an ex
pression. If vou suppose you can go to the
United States Treasury and see a picture of
the American conscience, drawn in a pile of
cold, hard cash, kept apart from the other
piles of cold, hard cash in Uncle Sam's
vaults, you make a mistake. What is called
the conscience fund is not Kept distinct from
other moneys in the Treasury, and even the
letters which from time to time come to the
Treasury Department accompanying the
conscience contributions are not ken
apart from other correspondence. There is
no distinct conscience fund and there are no
distinct conscience fund papers on file in
the Treasury Department.
MANNING'S DISTORT OP IT.
About lour years ago the United States
Senate called upon Mr. Manning, then Sec
retary of the Treasury, for a history of the
conscience fund, and the communication
which he made in reply, under date Febru
ary 3, 1886, althought quite a short document,
is the fullest account ol the"conscience fund"
extant In a certain sense Secretary Man
ning's history of the conscience lund is
Tery much like that celebrated essay on
"Snakes in Ireland," which consisted ot
one brief negative statement, "There are no
snakes in Ireland."
Here is Secretary Manning's communica
tion in full:
Tbe Department is in receipt of Senate reso
lution ot the 28ih ultimo, directing the fcecre
tnry of the Treasury to inform tL Senate as to
the origin of what is known as the "conscience
fund" in tbe Treasury of the United States,
the amuunt of tbe same, and what disposition
is made thereof.
In replv thereto, I hare tbe bonor to state
tbat the term "conscience fund," as applied to
donations received by the Treasury from un
Xnuvrn sources, has its origin in the popular
belief that such donations are made br persons
who bare at some time nrongfolly taken or
withheld from the United States moneys which
were justly due, and ho thus seek to make
restitution to the Government.
RECEIPTS FOR 58 TEARS.
Tbe moneys which nave thus been received
from time to time have been covered into tbe
Treasury as "miscellaneous receipts from per
sons unknown," and have been used for tho
general purposes of the Government in connec
tion ith monej s recei ed from other sources,
bavin at no time been distinguished from
other monejs in the general Treasury.
The first donation of tbis character of which
the department has anv record was madebv
the Kegister of tbe Treasury in 1827. "for
moneys received from a person unknown.stated
to be on account of imports and tonnace,' and
tbe total amount received by the Treasury up
to June 30, 1S&5. was S2M.747 26.
2"o distinction is drawn at the Treasury
Department between the "conscience" dol
lar and the conscienceless dollar; but it is
there just the same.
One of the latest contributions to the
"conscience fund," and one ot the largest in
a long time, was received through Postmas
ter General Wanauiaier in the latter part
of March. The letter accompanying it was
a fair specimen of all such letters and was,
of course, anonymous. As a fair repre
sentative of its clats it may be worth print
ing in full. Here it is: .
A. SOUL SEEKING PEACE.
JEW ork, March 21, 1SD0.
lion. John W'anamaLer:
Inclosed you will find $1,500, which I wish you
to place to the credit of the conscience fund.
Years ago I defrauded the Government or quite
a lame sum of mone. Since then I havo be
come a Christian man and have had this matter
lying very heavily on my conscience, and, as I
have made a little money, I have sent it to tbe
Government, so that I have returned all that
was fraudulently taken, and the inclosed is the
balance of 25 per cent over and above tbe
amount stolen. I pity any man if lie must pas
through the anguish of mind that I have ex
perienced, and even now, though I have made
restitution, jet my conscience is under con
demnation and I suffer very deeply. Dovon
not think that 25 per cent additional restitution
is sufficient to bring peace to a sorrowing soul?
j-.case &rc iuab mis money goes to tne proper
place. There is no need of my name.
The largest and one of the most notable
contributions to this fund was made in the
year 1873-'74, when 26 Senators and 52 Bep
resentatives in Congress returned to the
Tnasury for the benefit of "consrienep"
their share of what was known as the back
salary grab. By an act passed March 3,
1673, the members of the Forty-third Con
gress granted themselves
A retroactive increase
of salary, but that act was repealed at the
beginning of the next Congress, on January
20, 1874. Some ol the Congressmen that is
to say. 26 Senators and 52 Bepresentatives
thought they had no moral right to take ad
vantage of the short-lived law, and so re
fused to accent the temporary increase of
salary. This conscientious resolve benefited
tbe conscience fund to a large extent.
Among the conscientious Senators who re
fused to take the "grab" were Ferry. Zach
Chandler Henry Wilson, Carl Sell urz, T.
F.Bayard, CharlesSumner TTnnniV.-,! xr.,

VriHDOU OS TUB SURPLUS.
THE ADMINISTRATION NOT CONTRACTING
THE CURRENCY.
A Statement of the Fundi In the Tveasnry
Actually Available Really Only aXHllo
Money Which ii Not Needed There
Fisnres for It.
Washington, May 2. Secretary Win
doni has written a letter in reply to an arti
cle in a financial newspaper on the general
subject of the currency, in which he refutes
the assertion tbat the administration favors
a contraction of the currency. He gives fig
ares in regard to the circulation and treas
ury holdings May 1, and makes comparison
with the estimated circulation of the princi
pal countries of Europe.
According to these figures, and estimat
ing the present population of the United
States at 64,000,000, tbe amount of metallic
and paper money in tbe United States, not
including any portion ot the amount held
by the Treasury of the United States, is
$22 36 per capita, or more than in any of
the leading couutries of Europe, with the
exception of France, in which the circula
tion is estimated at ?57 36 per capita.
THE SUPPOSED SURPLUS.
"In regard to the moner supposed to be
hoarded by the United States Treasury,"
the Secretary savs, "aside from the funds
deposited in the Treasury by national banks
for the redemption of their notes which
have been retired, which the Government
holds as S trustee, and the balance on de
posit in the Treasury by disbursing officers,
the only reserve which is kept by the
Treasury is 5100,000,000 in gold for the re
demption of legal tender notes as provided
by the acts of 1875 and 1882.
"There is no disposition on the part of the
administration of the Treasury to hoard
money, and the so-called surplus, which is
the excess ol the receipts over the expendi
tures, can be used under the present
law only in the redemption of the bonded
debt of "the United States, which is being
done as rapidly as the bonus can be judic
iously purchased. The surplus ou the 1st
inst. amounted to only S35,930,G23 (exclus
ive of fractional silver coin), of which 31.-
648,898 was on deposit in national banks
per orming the duty of a circulating
medium. It is the policy and purpose of
the department to withdraw a large portion
of this depositrand invest it in United States
bonds as rapidly as it can be done without
danger of decreasing the actual circulation."
THE FIGURES FOR IT.
In support of this statement the Secre
tary says of the 666,643,261, total amount
of money in the treasury April 1 last, $134.
938,079 in gold coin was deposited lor the
redemption of gold certificates, and $290,
605,562 in silver dollars for the redemption
oi bilver certificates. Neither ot these
amounts belongs to the Government, but
both are held simply in trust for the re
demption of cold and silver certificates out
standing; $67,891,267 were held as a fund
for the redemption of national bank
notes, consisting of money paid
into the Treasury bv national
banks for that purpose, while 38,972,181
represented the money to the credit of the
disbursing officers, and kept in the Treasury
merely as a matter o convenience and which
they check against; $6,074,537 consisted of
silver bullion from melted trade dollars;
$4,634,901 silver bullion at the miuts pur
chased lor the coinacre o'" the silver dollar in
process of coinage; $22,814,564 of fractional
silver coin largely mutilated and abraded,
for which there is no current demand, and
$100,000,000 was held as a leserve for the
redemption o' legal tender notes as required
by law, a total ol $565,931,037.
The Stcretary closes his letter as follows:
"I have already recommended in myannual
report an increase or currency amounting to
about $50,000,000 per annum. It should be
evident there ore that this letter is not in
tended to express any opinion as to the
sufficiency of our currency, but only to cor
rect certain statements as to its quantity."
THE "BATTLE STUL OK.

;RTECtAL TELEOUAM TO THE DI6PATCK.1
McKeespokt, May 2. GeorSeEees.who
was recommended for the postoffice by Con
gressman Bay, will not accept the honor,
and Mr. Bay will have to make another
recommendation. Mr. Bees called upon
candidate W. E. Harrison to-night and
stated emphatically that be would forward
to Mr. Bay to-morrow a telegram declining
the recommendation, stating that he did
not care to enter the fight, Mr. Harrison,
as a candidate, was prepared to make a
fi?ht for the office and so are his friends, and
also other candidates.
The outlook presents a very formidable
appearance all round. It is, indeed,
an angry looking battle vet. and
from the movement of the oppo
sition to-day it looked as though they
meant to make another vigorous fight for
the plum. "Who will be pushed forward
now by Mr. Bay is a question tbat cannot
be answered. Some think it will be left to
Senator Quay and Tistmaster General
Wauaraaker, while others feel that Bay
will either name some other man or ask for
a ballot to decide the question.
GOOD RESULTS EXPECTED
From a Railroad Conference to Supplant 1
the Inter Stnte Commerce Association.
Chicago, May 2. A meeting of the
Presidents of the Western roads has been
called for next Monday to further consider
the question of a new organization to take
the place of the Inter-State Commerce Bail
way Association. The Missouri Pacific will
be represented, and Charles Francis Adams,
of the Union Pacific, has agreed to be present
in person.
Presidents Manvel and George C. Ma
goun, of the Atchison, Toneka and Santa
ife, will arrive in Chicago Mondav morning
on their return from the West, and will at
tend the conference. The indications are
that an earnest effort will now be made to
adopt a new agreement, and good results are
expected.
AN OFFICIAL ANACHRONISM
Will Probnbly Delny Legislation
on the
Oklahoma Question.
Guthrie, May 2. Another very import
ant error has been discovered here in the
Oklahoma bill, in section 21, alluding to
tbe commutation clause. It reads as printed
in the bill and copies of the Congressional
Record received here as follows: "Within
tbe limits described in the President's
proclamatioioi' April 1, 1889."
The President issued no proclamation on
that date relating to opening Oklahoma or
any other subject. The proclamation re-
ferred to was issued on March 23, 1889, de
claring the countrj open for settlement on
April 22. 1889. This error will probably
further delay the passage of the bill.

Disappearance of n Man Who Wan Indebted
Even to His Fnrm Ilnnds.
.'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO fRE DIS"ATCn.
Concord. Mass., May 2. The sudden
disappearance of Willard White, who had
tbe reputation of being one of the wealthiest
men in Concord, leaving heavy liabilities,
was somewhat different from the ordinary
style ot getting away from creditors. He
owned a big stock farm, on which he
had expended thousands of dollars. He
also spent several thousands in addition in
building and furnishing a new house. It is
said that his outlay aggregated $50,000.
The farm was stocked with 200 head of
horses and 150 head of cows, all pure
blooded. Tbe farm hands did not asK him
for money the last year or so. As a result
he was indebted to them in sums varying
from $50 to $400.
The farm was heavily mortgaged but no
body in town knew about it The property
was so covered with mortgages that there
was little left for tbe farm hands. White
once owned considerable mining property
in Pennsylvania and ran a line of boats on
Lake Chautauqua, N. Y. His whereabouts
are unknown.
HOVEL MARRIAGE CONTRACT.
California Ceremony Which Dispensed
Entirely With the l'rencber.
rSPEnALTELIOIlAlC TO THE DISPATCH.'
San Francisco, May 2. Since the
Sharon divorce case San Francisco has
gained notoriety for its extraordinary mar
riage contracts, but the queerest document on
record was filed to-day. Itreads: "Eecogniz
ing the eternal laws of nature and marriage
as to the right relation of sexes and recog
nizing also the natural eauality of women,
and believing her advent upon this planet
was thesame as that of man, not as recorded
by Christian nor other gods, we, by these
presents, make known to all whom it may
concern that we hereby assume the relation
ship of husband and wile, and agree to love
and cherish each other through life if we
possibly can."
The parties to the contract are Henry F.
Ebers, a German 50 vears of age, and a resi
dent otCaiadoro, Caf., and Nellie J. Lenont,
an English woman of the same age, and a
resident of Northfield, Minn. Ebers ap
plied to a notary public to acknowledge the
contract, but the notary advised Ebers to
jump overboard because he was insane.
TRIFLIKG WITH UNCLE SAM.
The Principal In the Boycotting ot a Poit
ofUce Arrested In Crawford County.
sriCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.:
Erie, Pa., May 2. An information was
made in this citv to-day before United States
.Commissioner Frank Grant, against John
Cooper, of Bundell, Crawford county, for
being the principal in the boycotting of
a postoffice. Deputy Marshal Hugh Lord
brought the prisoner to Erie to-night. John
Cooper was postmaster or Bnndell for some
time. The office was given to the
present incumbent, postmaster Boberts,
who also keeps a store. The change
made a bitter fight among the friends of
both and a bocott was organized. Cooper
not only kept his old boxes and other office
furniture in place, but had a list of those
who adhered to him, and made it his busi
ness daily to send his son to the postoffice,
get the mail belonging to the disgruntled
patrons and then distribute it in his boxes,
as ot yore. "While the fact of boycotting
may be construed into an offense against the
Government, it is also an offense to run an
institution in the form of a postoffice with
out being duly authorized.

the labor question. The European strikers
are riotous and troops are called into requi

mons this evening Mr. Cameron moved the
disestablishment and disendowment of the
Church of Scotland.
Mr. Gladstone, replying to a member's
assertion that the majority of the Midlothian
electors were against disestablishment, said
he would be glad to answer to his electors
for the vote he was about to give. He would
be thankful to govern, if they gave him an
opportunity to do so, at the earliest possible
moment. The only ground in defense of the
church establishment was that it was per
forming some special religious work in the
country. He believed that the condition of
Scotch opinion which Lord Hartington de
scribed in 1877 as justifying disestablish
ment was row reached, and he, therefore,
supported tne motion.
In bis opinion there never was a country
where tbe question was so simplified as it
was in Scotland. It would not entail a
tenth part of the violence entailed by the
disruption of 1863. There was no sign that
the change would be attended by anv of the
characteristics that belonged to violent tra
ditions. Lord Hartington said he regretted the
new position which Mr. Gladstone had
taken up. He was unable to agree with
him that Scotland had pronounced unmis
takably on this question. Besides that it
was necessary to know the lines upon which
it was proposed to act. In opposing the
motion, however, it must not be supposed
that they opposed the necessary reform of
the Scotch church or even disestablishment
should reconstruction prove impossible.
Mr. Cameron's motion was rejected, 256
to 218.
STANLEY IS HONORED.
Tho Great American Traveler Is Cordially
Welcomed by Prince Albert.
London, May 2. TheEmin Belief Com
mittee gave a reception in honor of Henry
M. Stanley this evening. The Prince of
Wales presided. Among the guests were
the Princess of Wales, Princess Victoria,
the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince
Christian, Prince Albert Victor, Prince
George, the Duke of Fife, the Lord Mayor
of London, and a large number of distin
guished persons.
Tbe Prince ot Wales, iu the name of the
English people, welcomed the illustrious
traveler and said he was glad to accord him
a hearty greeting after all he bad gone
through.
Mr. Stanley, who was received with pro
longed cheers, said his position was a diffi
cult one in addressing them, the committee
hampering his freedom in regard to what he
should say. He defended the route across
Africa which he had selected. He paid a
high tribute to the devotion and courage of
his associates. He said he could have dis
pensed with the services ot none of them.
When Emin was relieved for the second
time, said Mr. Stanley, his so-called subjects
had revolted four times. Belief reached
biiii at a critical period.
The Prince of Wales proposed a vote of
thanks to Mr. Stanley, which was adopted
by acclamation.

treat the celebrations as affairs of no import
ance seeing they showed that the working
men obeyed the word of command to mark
the aay in some form.

The stokers in several gas works have

GLADSTONE OK LABOR.
Ho Snya the Day BIny Come When It Can
Overpower Capital.
' London, May 2. Mr. Gladstone has
written a letter which will appear in the en
larged Lloyd's News on Sunday next, in

sider closely their present position. He
says: "There may come a time when labor

surely hold its own."
In conclusion he expresses a wish to see
labor and art allied, with the view of allevi

ISFECIAL TELEOBAH TO TBS DISPATCH.!
Beading, May 2. The annual conven
tion ol the German Baptists,' better known
as the Dunkards, of the Eastern district of
tbe United States a quaint and curious re
ligious denomination adjourned at Ephra
ta, 12 miles from here, at noon to-day. Del
egates from a number of States were present.
The most important work of tbe convention
was the presentation of the report of a com
mittee appointed to visit certain churches
and ascertain whether the strict rules of the
denomination, with respect to dress, was ob
served. This committee reported consider
able bad feeling and disturbance on account
of the efforts to enforce the rules of
the church. They say that some of the
women do not wear tbe plain white caps
that the rules provide; that the men no
longer wear their hair long and part it in
the middle as of old; that the women wear
fashionable attire, gold ornaments and
feathers, and that tbe men wear mustaches
without full beard, all of which is contrary
to the rules.
In its travels the committee ionnd women
wearing fashionable hats, with feathers,
while in several churches there were organs,
and the young people were more and more
giving themselves over to frivolity, dressing
as they pleased. After a lively discussion
it was agreed to bring the matter before the
general meetine which will assemble at
Warrensburg, Mo., on Whit-Monday, the
26th inst., and which will probably be at
tended by 120,000 people, including dele
gates from all parts of tbe United States.
VALUABLE COAL ttart!
The Hollenback Cont Lands Transferred to
the Lehigh nnd Wilkcsbnrre ConI Co.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 2. There was
placed in the hands of the Becorder of
Deeds here to-day one of the most important
documents that has been filed in that office
for some time. It is a lease dated April 1
between the Hollenback Coal Company of
one part and the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
Coal Company of the other. By the terms
of the lease the Hollenback company
agrees to Ipese to the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre company 289J acres of coal land,
known as the "Baltimore Vein." It lies
partly in Wilkesbarre township and partly
in this city, and is one of the most valuable
in the Wyoming coal field.
Iu consideration of the exclusive use of
this vein for the time fixed, the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Company agree to pay to the
lessors $16,000 for the first year, $24,000 for
the second year, and $40,000 for each suc
ceeding year, to be paid in equal quarterly
installments. The lands are leased to the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Company until the
mineral has been mined out and removed.
This, it is thought, will take at least from
15 to 20 years.

HILL SIGNS THE BILL
And Gives at Length His Reasons for
Approval of the Measure
AIMED AT ELECTORAL REFORM.
Tho Importance of a Free Ballot Has Here-
tofore Caused Him to
OPPOSE BEEDLESS fiESTEICTIOSS.
The T Ital JlighU or Voter?, He Says, Should be Care,
fally Protected.
Governor Hill has at length approved the
New York electoral reform bill. He re
gards it as a step in the right direction, and
thinks it will help to purify elections.
Albany, May 2. Governor Hill to-day,
in his approval of the electoral reform bill,
says: "It presents as a whole a fairly ac
ceptable measure, capable of effecting some
substantial and practical reform. 1 have
not believed that reform consisted merely in
making the exercise of the elective franchise
difficult and complicated. I have regarded
it as important that the path to the ballot
box shall be made as free, plain
and unobstructed to the honest elector as a
simple and practical statute could render it,
and as the public safety, would permit. I
have steadily opposed every effort to impose
unnecessary restrictions and impracticable
regnlations upon our election system, which
are not adapted to our free institutions, or
which would render our elections enormously
expensive and vexatious.
It is to be regretted, however, that such
endeavors have only been partially success
ful. In tbe interest ot an ,honorable com
promise ot diverse opinions and with a sin
cere desire to agree upon a bill which should
accomplish something toward the purifica
tion of our elections, even though it shall
not be wholly satisfactory, I have felt con
strained to yield my views as to several pro
visions which I must still deem imperfect
and which I firmly believe will be so gen
erally regarded when the defects shall be
more fully disclosed in the practical opera
tion oi tne new system.
"I have not strenuously insisted upon my
own convictions in regard to the mere de
tails of the measure so long as no surrender
of essential principles has been suffered
principles vital to the maintenance of tree
manhood suffrage. In one sense it may be
urged tbat the exclusive official ballot is
still retained. That may be so, but in a
broader view it is evident peculiar charac
teristics have been largely destroyed or
eliminated. I am not disposed, however,
to haggle about mere words or use
less technicalities. It is immaterial
what the form of ballot or the method of
voting prescribed in this bill may be called,
so long as the vital and essential rights of
electors, for which I have always contended,
are substantially prescribed and protected.
During all the controversy of the past three
years I have invariably insisted upon the
right of an elector to prepare his own ballot
at borne and to bring it with him to the polls
and to vote it, and so long as this bill does
not materially infriuge upon that right I
am content,"

Thoy are Born, Not AInde, nnd Training;
Doesn't Help Them Olnch.
New Yort Snn.1
The one branch of athletic sport in which
there has been recorded no improvement,
which has been virtually at a standstill, is
sprinting. While the record tables show
marked improvement in running, still in
sprinting proper from 50 to 300 yards the
athlete of to-day does not seem able to sup
plant time made by his predecessor of a
dozen or more years ago.
The explanation of this is simple sprint
ing is not an acquired accomplishment, but
rather a gift of nature. No amount of as
siduous practice or training will develop
au athlete Into a successful sprinter unless
he posesses this natural speed. A natural
runner may be made a whit faster by learn
ing to start and run properly, but no amount
of tuition or perfection of starting and
running will make an athlete run 100 yards
in ten seconds or a fraction thereof unless
he is a born runner.

OTTAWA, Ont., May 2. J. C. Eykert,
M. P. for Lincoln, bas resigned his seat in
Parliament He walked out of the House
of Commons amid an uproar. Mr. Bykert
was charged by the opposition with "bood
ling." He is charged with having received $70,
000 for using bis political influence with the
Government to secure a timber limit in the
Cypress Hills, Northwest Territories.
The Government was paid
$5,000 for the limit, which was
subsequently sold for $180,000. This was
four or five years ago. This session the
Government was forced bv the opposition
to appoint a committee of investigation.
This was done and the charges were clearly
proven.
. The resignation to-night was not a very
great surprise. Mr. Bykert said he bad not
been treated fairly either by tbe Government
or the committee, and he would seek fair
play at the hands of his constituents.

A HUSBAND'S FAITH.
James Moron Has Implicit Confidence In ills
Wife's Innocence Peculiar Letter From
a Sheriff" Generous Inducements Held
Opt for a Confession.
Mrs. Ida Moran. who is charged with the
murder of Palmer Bich at Norwich, N. Y.,
is in the Central station awaiting the ar
rival of Deputy Sheriff" W. W, Brown with
extradition papers. Mrs. Moran said yes
terday that she was perfectly willing to go
back and stand trial, as she is innocent of
the crime charge.! acainst her. The Sheriff
was expected last night, and James Moran
stayed around tbe Central station to bid
farewell to his wife.
Mr. Moran, who has the build of a trained
athlete, as he is, and is very intellisent, is
confident of his wife's innocence. He pro
duced a letter be received some time ago
from Sberiff L. F. Kinney, of Chenango
county, New York, in which he asks
Moran's co-operation in discovering tbe
body and the murderers of Bich. The let
ter states that Mrs. Moran was at the house
of Mrs. Fox on the night Bich disappeared,
and must know something of the case. She is
promised a reward of $1,000 if her testi
mony convicts the gnilty parties, and she is
assured immunity it she was concerned iu
the crime. The "letter further says that if
Mrs. Moran declines to testify she may be
convicted,as there is ample evidence against
her and tbe other parties implicated.
Mr. Moran and his wife talked over the
letter and decided not to answer it, as it ap
peared to them to be a peculiar communi
cation from an official. Mr. Moran says the
man who is said to have seen Bich go into
Mrs. Fox's house afterward repudiated the
statement,
Mr. and Mrs. Moran have been married
for three years, and are both expert club
swingers, while Mrs. Moran periorms an
reri.il act. They instructed Y. M. C. A.
gymnastic classes at Norwich, and Mrs. Mo
ran is the possessor of a gold medal presented
to her by theY.M.CA. Thecduple have lived
happily together, although they have had
to work bard, and Moran says he is confi
dent his wife would have confessed to him
if she had been connected with Etch's
murder.
THE CLAYTON CASE.
Situ
Further Witnesses Examined In the
ConsTPstlonnl Contest Trial.
LITTLE Bock, May 2. The Clayton
Breckinridge Investigating Committee held
two sessions to-day.
Thomas C. Hervey, one of the election
judges of Seward township, Conway county,
testified as to what he knew about the steal
ing of the ballot box. Tbe first informa
tion he received that the box was
taken was when told by Hobbs, an
other judge who was at the polling
place when the masked men entered and
tool: the box. He had just left Hobbs a few
minutes before to get a lamp, to see how to
count the votes. Witness thought that some
ot the negroes in the township had some
thing to do with the stealing.
Colonel W. H. H. Clayton was examined
at length. He told about his going to
Plummerville on January 30, 1889. the day
after he heard of his brother's death. He
said no one in Plummervilleofferedhimany
sympathy or any assistance; tbat the
houses were closed; no one was on the
streets, and that everybody avoided him.
He thought that the conspiracy to mur
der bis brother was concocted in Mor-
nllton, and that it was known to
at least 25 men in the county
tbat it was to occur. He believed that his
brother was killed by Oliver T. Bently and
Bob Pate. He was firmly convinced that
the persons who stole the ballot box killed
his brother.
He'did not charge the Democratic party
with being responsible for the crime. He
believed the community in Arkansas de
sired that the murderer should be caught
and punished. He believed that tne Gov
ernor had done his duty in his efforts to ap
prehend the assassin, bnt thought he bad
been led off on the wrong track.
A number of witnesses testified that they
were in Howard township on the day of tbe
November election and voted for C. B.
Breckinridge.
WATIAMT: DE VEEE GUILTY.
The
Jury Decides Tbnt She Forged
tbe
Richard Brown Notes.
Toledo, May 2. The trial of Madame
De Vere, the clairvoyant, on the charge of
forgery and uttering forged paper, which
bas lasted over a week, ended late
this afternoon in a verdict of guilty ou both
counts. It will be remembered that both
she and Joseph Lamb, for years a
trusted employe of the United States
Express Company here, and a man of
high standing, were arrested for
forgery notes to the amount of something
like $25,000 having been negotiated by
Lamb at various banks here, to which the
signature of Bichard Brown, the wealthy
iron master of Youngstown had been forged
as tbe maker.
The case had excited intense interest
here, opinion being divided as to whether
Lamb or Madam De Vere were fellow con
spirators, or one the dupe of the other.
Lamb was recently tried on an indictment
for forgery, but was acquited. Another in
dictment against bim is pending, however.
Madam De Vere's counsel will move at once
for another trial.

SMITH BAS TO HANG.
The Board of Pardons Eefnses to Act
Any Further on His Case.
IN LESS THAN EIGHT WEEKS
He llnstf ipiate on the Gallows Hi3 Crims
of Wife Murder.
THE DAILY LIFE OF TUB' DOOMED MAST
His People Seem to Hare Lost All Interest la Hiw
Since His Trial.
Allegheny county is to be the scene of aa
execution next month. William H. Smith,
the colored wife murderer, must hang on
June 26. The Board of Pardons also refuses
to interfere in the case of the Nicely
brothers.
William H. Smith, the colored man who
killed his wife in a fit of jealous anger at
their home on Fulton street, will have to
hang on June 26. He was originally sen.
fenced to die on April 9, but a respite wa
granted to allow a fuller consideration of
the case by the Board of Pardons. Yester
day morning the board refused to take any
action in the matter, and the nxoricide wiU
suffer tbe penalty of his crime.
Sheriff McCandless has not yet received
an official notification of the board's action,
but it is not necessary that he should, as
the respite granted does not affect the
original death warrant, but merely defers,
the date of execution until June 26.
NO INTEREST IN HIM.
Smith has not yet been informed of tha
board's action, and as he does not read tha
newspapers, is not likely to learn of it nntil
he is told by some of the jail officials. Tha
condemned man seems to take no interest in
anything except the visits of his spiritual
adviser, Bev. Mr. Pryor, rjastor of tha
Ebenezer Church. No other friends visit
him, as the members or his race seem to tako
no interest in him. Until his death warrant
was sent on Smith used to correspond with
his brother at Washimrton, D. C, but of
late even that has ceased. He talks to no
one, and all efforts to get him to converse
are fruitless. Tbe warden visits him every
ljj, anu mis is tne conversation:
"How are you to-day, Smith?"
"Oh, very well."
"Do you want anything?"
"No."
"Can I do anything for you?"
"No."
And then Smith relapses into silence.
Tbe man does not apnear to notice tha
shadow of the gallows, nor take more thaa
the most languid interest in tbe efforts made
to save his life. He goes through the jail
discipline in an apathetic manner, taking'
exercise when ordered, and when in his cell
dividing his time between pacing to and
fro and sitting quietly on his bench gazing
into vacancy. His appetite is good, but he
appears to eat merely from force of habit.
AS TO THE DEATH tVATCH.
No preparations for the execution will be
made for several weeks yet, as the rope has
already been made and the work of putting;
the gallows togetber takes but a few hours.
The death watch will not be placed on the
doomed man until ten days before the exe
cution. The board also refused to interfere in tha
cases of Joseph and David Nicely, Somerset
county, murder in the first degree; Francisco
Cunti, Lawrence county, criminal assault,
and W. P. Brown, Washington county, lar
ceny. Pardons were granted to Dora Scheu
mann, Allegheny county, larceny; Charles
Laribee, Venango county, murder in tbe
first degree; Daniel Dougherty, Philadel
