To-day will witness the greatest labor

May Day efforts will be eclipsed by the great
London parade. The Socialists and trades
unions hare united, and 250,000 men will be
in line. Burns and the other leaders are very
confident that an eight-hour day will soon

8T CABLE TO THK DtSPATCH.1
London, May 3. Copyright The
great labor demonstration which takes
place in Hyde Park to-morrow will dwarf
anything that took place in Europe on May
Day, for not fewer than 250,000 workmen
who know their own minds will march in
procession, and it is not improbable that
100,000 more will swell the large mass of
humanity around the 14 platforms from
which tne speaking will be made at one
time.
There was danger that divided counsels
would result in failure, and, perhaps, in
actual fighting. The demonstration was
first taken in hand by a body known as the
Central Committee, most of whose members
are Socialists, and the idea was to hold it on
May Day. The Iiondon Trades Council,
representing non-socialist trades unionists,
at first declined to have anything to dowith
tbe matter, but finding a large majority ot
workmen were dead against them they fath
ered the demonstration with the proverbial
zeal ef a convert.
A PEACEABLE AEEANGEMENT.
The Central Committee, however, declined
to retire and finally an amicable arrange
' ment was made by which each body
should bring its men into the park in
its own way, select its own speakers and
have its own platforms. The Trades Coun
cil will marshal their men on the Thames
embankment, the noble river boulevard,
which stretches from the Houses of Parlia
ment at "Wsrr"jn5trr to B'aekfriar, a dis
tance of one mile.
All these men will be trades unionists,
every trade in the metropolis being repre
sented in strong force. They will muster in
eight sections and march with bands and
banners to the park. The Central Commit
tee's men will gather at varions appointed
places throughout the metropolis and nfarch
direct to the park by the divers routes.
A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
The resolution to be submitted from the
Trades Council platforms will call upon the
Government and public bodies to set the
example of conceding the eight-hour day,
and will exhort workmen to use the ballot
toward the same end. The Central Com
mittee's resolution will demand an eight
hour day by legislative enactment, but its
spectators will be called upon "to work
steadily on for collective ownership of all
means and instruments of producing wealth
by the whole community, as the only method
of completely emancipating the people from
the industrial slavery of io-day."
A curions feature about to-morrow's dem
onstration is the pronounced optimism of
the leaders. Not one of them has the least
doubt that ihe workmen are within meas
urable distance cf that long-desired goal.
The most influential workman in London,
John Burns, says that so universal is the
movement to-day, so keen the interest taken
in it by skilled and unskilled workmen, so
rariid the change of public opinion in the
last 12 months, that it is safe to say that
within five years, either by trade union
effort or what is more easy and more proba
ble, bylegislative enactment, the eight-hour
day will be embodied in the laws or customs
of every country in the civilized world.
PREDICTION OF BURNS.
If neither of these be successful, though
it is probable one of them will be, Burns is
of the opinion that "the prospect of revolu
tion will compei the governing classes to
concede to fear what they now deny to just
and reasonable demands "straight from the
bona fide workers of all countries, irrespee
tive of race, religion or politics."
Burns has been denounced an r-r.
tremist, but upon this eight-hour question
he speaks with moderation. The most suc
cessful of strike organizers, he dreads strikes
and would only resort to them when all
other efforts had failed, and he is not cer
tain that a universal cessation of work
would prove successful. Contending po
litical factions afford the workmen's oppor
tunity, and Burns, Socialist though he is,
looks to the ballot box to secure tbe eight
hours day and other needed reforms.
ETJM0BS ABOUT BTJSSIAH OIL.

IBT CABLE TO THE PISPATCE.t
London, May 3. There have been ru
mors in commercial circles this week that
the great oil wells of tbe Caspian are begin
ning to show signs of exhaustion, and this
report has caused considerable uneasiness in
Batoum. The English Consul at that port
points ont that the rumor has undoubtedly
arisen solely from tbe circumstance that,
thongh tbe quantity of crude oil produced
last year exceeded that of the year before by
more than 1,250,000 tons, prices were rising.
He says also that there are other import
ant petroleum fields along the Caspian
whicn will be available whenever the pres
entdistrict begins to fail, but that there are
no indications of this contingency yet, since,
beside tbe many still productive wells at
Baku, there are tbree fountains at the old
place snouting with unabated force and
yielding dally the enormous quantity of
more than 5,000 tons.

IBT CABLE TO TUX DISPATCH.
LONDON, May 3. Tour Madrid corre
spondent telegraphs that serious riots which
atone time threatened to result in the estab
lishment of mob law, occurred to-day at
Barcelona. The trouble was due, as
far as can be gathered, to the in
citement of Anarchist agitators, of
whom there are alwavs a considerable
number in that most turbulent of Spanish
cities. These men managed to get printed
several thousand placards which they wide
ly distributed, in whicn tne worcmcn were
exhorted to rise and revenge their wrongs
by driving out the hated capitalists who
had so long exploited their sufierings and
misery. '
Tbese inflammatory appeals were supple
mented by personal propaganda on the part
of the agitators, with the result that early
in the day the workmen were in a highly
excited state and ripe for mischief. Those
who took part in the May Day demonstra
tions refused to resume work, and by noon
20,000 men, many of them inflamed by
wine, had gathered along the chief boule
vards of the city.
INFLAMMATORY ADDRESSES.
There they were addressed by dema
gogues, who declared that the hour of their
deliverance had come and urged them to
ttrike the blow lor freedom, the first step to
which would be a general strike. These
appeals found only too willing hearers and
several mobs, started off amid the cheers of
their comrades, for the factories and work
shops, few in number certainly, where the
men had remained faithtul to their em
ployers. At some of the factories a show of resist
ance was made and fighting took place, but
at the majority of places the men threw
down their tools and joined the strikers.
By 2 o'clock every workman in the city was
iu tbe street, and tremendous excitement
prevailed. The police, completely taken by
surprise, made leeble attempts to move the
people.
At this critical moment Anarchist ora
tors commenced to urge pjllage, aud sug
gestively asked why men and women should
hunger when there was plenty of well
stocked bakers' shops around them. Then
fresh placards mysteriously got into circula
tion, iu which tbe same evil advice was giv
en. Several shops were forthwith attacked,
and wherever the bakers were found making
bread the dough was seized and thrown
about.
CHARGED BY THE POLICE.
Several women endeavoring to carry home
a daily supply of bread were stopped and
brutally treated, the bread being taken from
them and distributed among the rioters.
The police, who had been reinforced by a
cumber of mounted gendarmes, repeatedly
charged the rioters and used their swords
freely, seven men being carried off severely
wounded, but the troopers were ultimately
compelled to retire.
So the afternoon wore on, and at 7 o'clock
the streets were still completely in the hands
of rioters, who, encouraged by the evident
powerlessness of the authorities, were in a
condition for emulating tbe work of the
Paris commune.
Meanwhile, however. Captain General
Blanco had telegraphed to Madrid and to
nearer towns asking that troops might be
dispatched. He also convened a meeting of
the chief employers of labor, and having
ascertained from them the actual state of
affairs decided toplace the city in a state of
siege. His decision was announced bv the
firing of guns from JTort Montjuich. "Within
an hour from this the local garrison and Vo
licc were reinforced by the arrival jf oi.u
regiment of cavalry, three of infantry and
two batteries of artillery.
VIGOROUS ACTION TAKEN.
Then General Blanco for the first time,
found himself in a position to act with vigor
aud effect. Troops were placed at various
strategical points. Several of the most
prominent of the agitators were arrested and
carried off from beneath the very nose of
their astonished dupes, and a proclamation
was issued setting forth that martial law had-
been established. People were warned that
if they did not forthwith disperse to their
homes they would be tried by a military
tribunal and sentenced to immediate death.
Strikers were further inlormed that if
they attempted to coerce men willing to
work they would receive treatment equally
drastic These measures proved too much
for tbe valor of the strikers and they com
menced to move off, when the police
quickened their movements, and by mid
night the streets were so clear that General
Blanco was able to withdraw a portion of
the troops. It remains to be said that ter
rible bloodshed was cnlv averted bv the
forbearance sf the authorities.
At 3 o'clock in the morning General
Blanco telegraphed that order had been
completely re-established and that he did
not apprehend a renewal of the strike upon
anything lite a wide scale.
Serious disturbances also took place at a
number of other provincial towns, notably
at Valencia, where for a short time the sit
uation was almost as dangerous as at Bar
celona, .several thousand men strnek wnrfc
and proceeded in the morning to the factor
ies, which were kept going in consequence
of masters and men having arrived at a
friendly settlement. In most cases the ag
gressors were successful and the strike
soon became general. The chief agita
tors were arrested and will be severely dealt
with.

glittered with diamonds. The Princess of
"Wales wore one in her coiffute ot a size that

tne .Duchess of .Edinburgh and Baroness Bur-dett-Coutts
seemed to be encased in an

of the great explorer's speech, which was,
after all, only a repetition of what everyone
had already heard of the journey across the

London. May i-Qneen Victoria has re
turned to Windsor Castle, much improved
in-health by her continental holiday. But
her nerves were much shaken bv an unusual
incident which occurred the evening of her
arrival home. She was being driven from
the railway station to the castle when an
elderly woman broke through the police
cordon ana rushed after the carriage, shriek
ing out that she "must speak to the old
woman. Such an uncourtier-Iike method
of seeking an audience of royalty quite
upset the Queen and sent the policemen into
fits of ultra-royal rage. The woman was
seized and roughly hurried off to the police
cells, where it was ascertained that all the'
irouoie was aue to drink.
To-day the Queen was sufficiently restored
to enable her to act as sponsor at the christ

London, May a "When Emin Pasha, a
fortnight ago, started for the lake country at
the head of a German expedition, and with
the undisguised intention ot forestalling the
British in the annexation business in those
remote regions, the English newspapers
vehemently abused the British East African
Company for their apparent supineness, and
indulged in a load of jeremiads over the
prospect of England's certain defeat in the
struggle for supremacy in tbe dark Con
tinent Sir William Mackinnon, President
of the company, and Sir Francis Dewinton,
Governor, professed great indignation at
Emin's ingratitude, and did not deny that
they had been out manouvered. Stanley.
upon being appealed to, merely shrugged his
shoulders and opined that Emin would not
be able to do much.
The cat is now out of the bag and a most
unpleasant animal he is, from a German
point ot view. Emin Pasha, in fact, has a
disagreeable surprise awaiting him. The
country over which he was to have hoisted
the German flag has already been opened
up by an expedition quietly sent out last
August by the British East African Com
pany ostensibly to help Stanley, and the
whole of the Uganda territory and poses
sions have been placed under English pro
tection. All this happened six months ago,
and as Emm is not a fighting man he will
probably accept accomplished facts.
It will be interesting to see what he does
with a vast store of presents which he has
taken with him to gild the annexation pills
which the native kings and chiefs were to
have swallowed. The list included toy
cannons, gunpowder, helmets, carpets, breast
plates, silver plate, velvet robes, mechan
ical toys, Jbdison phonographic dolls, model
steam engines and steamboats, one sewing,
machine and one clock-work bear. Captain
Casatti, Emin's plucky Italian colleague in

A LIQTJ0B INH0VATI0H.
The Eacllsh Government to Compensate
Those Wbo Are Related License.
TBT CABLE TO TUX DISPATCH. I
London, May 3. The Government is
preparing a licensing bill which enacts that
where a license to sell liquor shall be re
lused or cancelled by a local board the
owner shall receive compensation for the
loss in the manner provided in the bill.
.Liquor license in this -Ountry are granted-1
or renewed annually, and it has always
been contended that they do not amount to
a vested interest. The proposal to compen
sate was made in the local government bill
in 1888, and aroused such a storm of indig
nation that the Government abandoned it.
But this bill is even worse in character. It
proposesto compensate people indirectly in
terested in a liquor shop as well as the
actual occupant, and if passed into a law
will paralyze the efforts of temperance re
formers for generations to come.
Already agitation against the bill has
commenced, and one of Chamberlain's lieu
tenants, "W. S. Caine, has promised to move
its rejection. If the Government should
carry this iniquitous measure through the
House of Commons it must be admitted that
they are strong enough to do anything and
robust enough to live until the legal termi
nation of their political existence, three
years hence. Mr. Gladstone was inter
viewed respecting the bill this afternoon.
He hid onlv read a summary nf t.hn hill
and so did not consider it expedient to talk
on tbe subject at length, but he added: "It
is a tremendous measure and demands the
closest attention of the country. It con
tains most formidable proposals, as I under
stand it, but I dare not express an opinion
upon it until I have had an opportunity of
considering its proposals closely and with
direct knowledge."
AIL POBCED INTO LUTE,

tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, May 3. Eenegade Joseph
Chamberlin has this week eaten more
bumble pie than ever the Liberal Unionist
stomach was thought to be capable of di
gesting. He made a big speech in the de
bate on tbe second reading of the Irish land
purchase bill, in the course of which he
urged certain additions and amendments
without which, he declared, amid the dead
silence of the Tories and the irouical cheers
of the Liberals, the measure would be un
just and unsafe. Too sanguine Liberals
indulged in hope that words would be
followed by deeds, and that the
long desired mutiny in tbe enemy's camp
was about to take place. But they reckoned
without Joseph's Iron digestion and capacity
lor groveling. The right honorable Mug
wump sat silent while Balfour ridiculed his
suggestions and declared them to be imprac
ticable, and he was equally dumb when on
Thursday night his nominal leader, Lord
Hartington, suggested that his proposals
were made only iu a Pickwickian sense.
The crowning humiliation came when
after a momentary hesitation he stalked
moodily into the division lobby with the
men who had derided him and recorded his
vote for a measure which he had previously
publicly denounced, xne Aiioerai union
ists, with one honorable exception, James
Caldwell, the member for Glasgow, voted
solidly in favor of a bill based upon princi
ples which they have repeatedly and em
phatically denounced. It seems, therefore,
there is nothing which they will not swal
low in order to prevent a Government defeat

SENATOR BECK DEAD.
The Noted Kentucky Statesman Sud
denly Drops to the Floor,
NEVER- TO RISE IN LIFE AGAIN.
A Washington Eailwaj Station the Scene of
. Ills Demise.
PAEALISIS OP THE HEART THE CAUSE.
The .dent Created a Sensation and the Senate at Once
Adjourned.
Senator J. B. Beck dropped dead in the
Baltimore and Potomac Bailroad station at
Washington last evening. He had just got
off the train from New Tork. The sudden
event caused a great sensation among his
colleagues. All express the greatest regret.
"Washington, May 3. Senator Beck,
of Kentucky, dropped dead in the Baltimore
and Potomac station at 4 o'clock this after
noon. He had just arrived on the limited
express from New Tork, and was accom
panied by his daughter, Mrs. Goodloe, wife
of Major Goodloe, of the United States Ma
rine Corps. He got off the train with the
rest of the passengers and walked with his
daughter the entire length of the platform
and through the gate to the station proper.
He seemed to walk with an effort and to
breathe hard, but these symptoms were
usual accompaniments of exertion with him
for months past.
Pawing into the station, the Senator and
his daughter stopped and were joined by bis
private secretary, who had bronght a car
riage to take tbem home. A few words
were exchanged with regard to the care of
the baggage, when the Senator suddenly
turned pale, and with the remark, "I feel
dizzy," fell into the arms of his companions.
HE NEVER SPOKE AGAIN.
They could not support his weight, and be
dropped to the floor, where he swooned away.
His daughter was naturally alarmed and
screamed for help. "Willing hands were
numerous, as the station was crowded at the
time, and the limp and helpless body was
bore into tbe office of the .station master,
about20 feet away. Greatexcitementensued,
and altbough it was apparent that the Sena
tor was dead, half a dozen messengers were
immediately dispatched for physicians and
all remedies at hand were applied, but with
no effect.
Dr. Chamberlain was first to arrive, and
he was soon joined by Dr. Wells and others,
but there was nothing for them to do except
examine the body to determine the cause of
death. A superficial examination only was
possible at the time, but this wai sufficient
to satisfy the physicians that death resulted
from paralysis of the heart. The news was
telegraphed to the Capitol, and subsequently
spread like wildfire to all sections of the
city. Representatives Breckenridge, Car
utb, Stone and others of the Kentucky Con
gressional delegation repaired to the station
at once, and arranged for the removal of the
remains to a more suitable place.
THE SENATE ADJOURNS.
In the Senate, at 4:15, Mr. Harris inter
rupted the proceedings and asked that a bul
letin, which had just been received, should
be read to the Senate. Tbe presiding officer
read, in a voice betraying deep emotion,
the following: "Senator Beck just dropped
dead in the Baltimore and Potomac sta
tion
r "In view of that sad fact," said Mr. Har-
m "I move tl.2
ir- -i-nii uo now uu
journ.
The motion was carried and Senators and
officials gathered around Mr. Harris, ex
pressing to each other their sincere sorrow
at the sudden death of a man so much loved
and respected.
Senator Sherman had left the Senate
chamber shortly before news of Senator
Beck's death reached there, and was much
moved whin a reporter informed him of the
sad fact this evening. He had served for a
long time with SenatorBeck on the Finance
Committee and formed, he said, a high opin
ion of the abilities of deceased.
SHERMAN'S EULOGY.
"He was," said Sherman, "a man of
strong opinions, vigorous intellect and posi
tive convictions, especially on the subject
of free trade. He was honest and conscien
tous. He was a good Senator, industrious
and a hard laborer, well equipped with a
great variety of arguments. "While we dis
agreed in nearly all our opinions on politi
cal questions, I had sincere respect for his
honesty and manly and bold expressions of
opinion. He was a very useful man and
his death will be greatly" regretted by all
and deplored as a serious misfortune by his
friends and acquaintances."
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, said he
considered Senator Beck one of the ablest
men who ever occupied a seat on the floor
of the Senate. He was well equipped at all
points for a legislator, and had rendered
great service to his State and to the whole
country as well. His death would prove a
serious loss, not only to his party, Senator
Cockrell said, but to all the people of the
United States.
A PERSONAL FRIEND.
Senator Allison, with whom SenatorBeck
was more intimately associated than any
other on the Bepublican side of the
Chamber, said:
"I first made the acquaintance of Senator
Beck when he entered the House in 1867,
where I served with him for four years. He
soon made his mark in the House" as a lead
ing debater and active worker. During
these four years we formed a friendship
which was never disturbed. He had a warm
heart, generous natnre and was strongly at
tached to friends. Tbese qualities drew
closely to him those who knew him well.
He was constant, faithful and intelligent in
his wore on tbe committees in the Senate.
Able and incisive in debate, of strong con
victions and sturdy integrity, he exerted a
great influence. His loss will be deeply felt
by his associates. In his death the country
loses one of its most valuable and able pub
lic men."
Senator Ingalls snid:
"Senator Beck's sudden death was a very
great shock to us all, because latest reports
were encouraging and he expected soon to
be able to resume his public work. His
personal characteristics were very engaging
and attractive, and he was universally pop
ular with all his associates in the Senate.
His death is an irreparable loss to his party,
and will be sincerely lamented by all who
knew him.'
HIS LAST LEGISLATIVE WORK.
Senator Beck had not been regular in his
attendance upon the sessions for two years,
and was in his seat but a (er times this Con
gress. The last legislation of general impor
tance with which he nas connected was the
undervaluations bill, which passed the Sen
ate in March, 1888. He worked on that
measure with constant devotion, saysa Sena
tor who was associated with him, until the
bill was disposed of. One morning shortly
afterward he came into the room of the Ap
propriations Committee, saving be had been
sickthemght before.and was notfeeling well
That was tbe first time he had ever been
known to be sick, and from that time for
ward he was never a well man again. Dur
ing the debate that occurred on the tariff
bill that was reported to the Senate as a
substitute for the Mills bill, he was not able
to take a part, and his absence was a great
loss to the Democratic ranks. He was not
able to be present at tbe opening of the spe
cial session or the Senate in March, 1889,
and wa sworn in by President pro tern.
Ingalls some days afterward.
He visited the Capitol' occasionally since
the opening of the Fifty-first Congress, but
took no part in the proceedings, except to
vote. His last appearance in the Senate
Chamber was on the day the case of the
new Montana Senators Saunders and Power
was settled.
BELOVED BY ALL.
Senator Beck was greatly beloved by the
employes of the Senate for his uniform
kinduess and courtesy and his active inter
est in their welfare. Instances ot this were
recalled to-day. One of them was the case of
John Dndley, a colored man, an old soldier
and a member of the G. A. B., who had
been discharged from his place. He went
to Mr. Beck and presented his case.
On the floor of the Senate the warm
hearted Kentuckian made a plea for tbe
colored man with whom he had not, it is
said, previously been Acquainted, so effective
that Dudley is still upon roll of tbe Capitol
force. An old employe of the Capitol re
called the fact that the death of Senator
Beck removed, within a few weeks of each
other, "the three workme members of the
Forty-third Congress," as they were known
Bepreseutatives Kelley and Bandall and
Senator Beck.

InrXClAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATOU.!
Lexington, Ky., May 3. The news of
Senator Beck's death was received here at
5:30 o'clock. It came with such suddenness
that many people discredited the announce
ment. Although he was quite an invalid
when here last November, nobody believed
that would be his last visit to his old home.
"When the people finally realized Senator
Beck was surely dead much sorrow was ex
pressed. "While not so popular with the
masses as many of Kentucky's great politi
cians, Beck was a man who made many
staunch friends, who deeply mourn his loss.
Mr. Beck's wile was Miss Jane Thornton,
of Virginia, and two children bless their
union. George is now on his large ranch in
Montana, more tban 100 miles from any
telegraph office, and Elizabeth is the wife
of Major Green Clay Goodloe, paymaster
of marines. "While Mr. Beck's public
duties were of a laborious character, his
home life was singularly beautiful. He
was devoted to his wife and children, and
when the former died a few years ago the
Senator's grief was of an unusual character.
Since then his daughter has been almost
constantly with him, and her devotion to
her father since his health broke down a
few months after her mother's death was a
subject of comment.
Ahe deceased was the law partner of the
late John C. Breckenridge, and so devoted
was he to that distinguished Confederate
leader that it is stated he wished to accom
pany him to the South. "When Brecken
ridge left this city to accept his commission
in the Confederate army, Breckenridge per
suaded him to stay here and watch his in
terest in the "West Beck did this and so
well was his work done that Breckenridge's
sons, John C. and Cabel, owe tbeir present
great wealth to their father's friend, Beck.

as a rose and his spirits were equally bright.
He stood at the office desk and talked pleas
antly ith the clrk and with The Pis
patch correspondent regarding his health.
'How are you feeling this morning,
Senator?" was asked.
"Feeling first rate never felt better in
my life," responded the distinguished
Senator of Kentucky. He then rejoined
his daughter and they walked out of the
hotel, when they started for "Washington.
The Senator has been ailing with a para

under Dr. Loomis, the specialist. He felt
so much improved to-day that to fill an

A "WOMAN'S SACBIFICE.
She Denies the Marriage to Save Her ITns
bnnd a Charge of Bigamy.
rSFKCIAI. TKLXOBAX TO TUX DISPATCH. 1
Middletown, N. Y., May 3. Ernst
Utter, a boyish-looking brakeman on the
Ontario and Western Bailroad, was ar
raigned before Becorder J. F. Bradner, of
this city, to-day, on a charge of bigamy.
The complainant, whose maiden name was
Edith Decker, testified in court that she was
married to the prisoner in Goshen on Sep
tember 23, 1888, by the Bev. Mr. "Winans,
and that alter living together for five months
he deserted her. She testified further, on
information and belief, that on June 30,
1889, he married Jennie Griffis, of this city.
The accused man took the witness stand
in his own defense, and swore positively
that he had never been married to either of
the women who claimed him for a husband.
'His counsel next called Jennie Griffis to the
stand. She is a pretty brunette of perhaps
20years,,of modest manners. Apparently
her only anxiety was to save the scamp who
had deceived her at any sacrifice to herself.
She testified positively, in blunt contradic
tion of her mother, that she had never been
married to Utter. The District Attorney
cross-questioned her sharply, but she stuck
to the story with a persistencv that could
not be shaken. Her self-sacrifice failed to
help the prisoner, for Becorder Bradner
committed him to Goshen jail, in default of
$2,000 bail, to await the action of the grand
jury-

COMPLAINT OF ONE OP THE TICT1MS.
Efforts Made by the Atlantic City Institution
Eesume Business.
The President of the Bank of America
and the teller of a branch concern were ar
rested at Philadelphia yesterday. They are
charged with receiving deposits after they
knew the institution was insolvent. Some
of tbe proceedings in this connection were
decidedly peculiar.
8 FECIAL TXLXOBAK TO TBS DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, May 3. There were no
failures of banks or branches tot banks or
ganized and owned by George F. "Work and
his associates because there are no more left
to fail. Tbe most interesting development
in the affairs of the Bank of America was
the issuing of a warrant for the arrest of
Louis E. Pfeiffer, President of the bank,
and Joseph Pancoast, teller of the Columbia
avenue branch.
The warrant was issued under an act of
Assembly passed May 9, 1889, and which
provides that any banker, broker or officer
of any trust or savings institution, national.
State or private bank: who shall take and re
ceive money from a depositor with the
knowledge that he, they or the bank is at tbe
time insolvent, shall be guilty of embezzle
ment, and shall be punished by a fine in
double the amount so received and im
prisoned from one to three years in the peni
tentiary. AN INTERESTING CASE.
The two officials arrested are charged with
receiving two deposits from Morris L.
Kline, of the firm of Eick & Kline, brew
ers, after they knew tbe bank was insolvent
Mr. Kline's case is specially interesting as
showing the methods of the bank. Mr.
Kline, with a knowledge that he had about
(1,500 on deposit in the Columbia avenue
branch, gave the Bergner & Engel Brewing
Company a check for $700 last Monday.
The agent of the company went to the main
office of the bank to get the check cashed.
and was notified there that there were no
funds in the bank to Kline's credit
Kline was at once notified by the agent,
who demanded why be had drawn the check
with no fundi in the bank. Kline declared
he had sufficient money in the bank, and in
company with the agent he went to the Co
lumbia avenue office. When they arrived
there Mr. Pancoast informed him that it
was all a mistake. He said that the main
office had telephoned to him and he had
looked at the wrong account, there being
another depositor by the name of Kline. He
assured Bergner & Engel's agent that the
check was all right.
A PECULIAR PROCEEDING.
All the agent had to do was to go to the
main office and get the money. They did
not have enough money there to pay it just
then. Both were satisfied. Mr. Kline was
so satisfied that he deposited 200 more in
the bank, and the next morning Bergner &
Engel's agent again presented the check to
the main office, and again he was met with
the answer that there were no funds to pay
tbe check. He Insisted that the teller of the
Columbia avenue branch had told him that
the check was all right. Word was sent to
Kline, who had made a still further deposit
of $185 before the ageut reached him. The
brewing company's agent then went to see
Kline. Kline was indignant, and declared
that he had twice as much money in the
bank as the check called for.
Kline and the agent then went down to
the Chestnut street office. There they were
told: "This check can only be paid "at the
Columbia avenue branch." The two men
then went to the Columbia avenue branch.
Teller Pancoast met them and blandly said:
"There is money enough, but you must get
it at the main bank." Both men wersangrv.
They returned to the main office and de
manded to see seme one in authority. They
were told that the President and Cashier
were both out and were referred back to the
branch. They were tired one and concluded
to wait until the next day. Then they
found the bank and all its branches closed.
Pfeiffer and Pancoast will be given a hear
ing next Tuesday.
THE SITUATION AT ATLANTIC.
A special telegram from Atlantic City
says: There were no anxious depositors
aronnd the suspended Merchants' Bank to
day. A statement that the bank will resume
payment at an early date somewhat reas
sured the people. A meeting of the di
rectors was called for 11 o'clock this morn
ing. John Schwinghammer, ex-Mayor of
Egg Harbor City, was named as chairman,
and proceeded to appoint a committee to
make arrangements for an early opening of
the bank, based on the result of the investi
gation into its affairs about to be instituted.
The work of examining accounts continued
for tbree hours.
A lengthy official statement was made, the
gist of which is: Due depositors, $47,630 S6;
due other banks, $1,666 22," bills receivable,
$57,468 22; due from other banks, ?15;121 21.
Cashier O. B. Dunkle was seen at his home
this afternoon. One of the directors, Hon.
Abraham Cochran, a wealthy resident of
Elmer, and several of the largest depositors,
he said, had voluntarily offered to
contribute liberally to tide the banks
over tbe difficulty, and altogether
he had no doubt of a satisfactory
settlement being made all around. Mr.
Dunkle stated that just as soon as the pa
rent bank resumed the several Branches
would also open their doors.
A large batch of checks drawn on the
Merchants' Bank and sent to the First and
Second National Banks for collection went
to protest to-day, and will be sent back to
the last endorsers', most of whom are resi
dents of Pleasantville, Egg Harbor.Mullica
Hill and Elmer. There are a number of
well-posted people who regard the reassur
ing statements as so much wiud.
A GBEAT STRIKE.
Rich Veins of Carbonate and Galena Dis
covered In Montana.
Geeat Falls, Mont., May 3. Reports
from Baker confirm tbe news of great finds
oi carbonates and galena in the May

the mines which have been chris

May and Edna the carbonate is in a vein 20
feet thick and not yet lully uncovered, the
ore essaying hundreds of dollars to the ton,
the richest mineral discovered in that high
grade camp. The America and Columbus
vein is over six feet thick. The whole sur
face of the country seems to be a network of
carbonates and galena liberally interlaced
with red lead.
These discoveries have produced a pro

that has passed between the gentlemen:
To Mr. James L. Harper:
Sir Owine to my physical condition since I
la saw you,! haveben unable to communicate
with you sooner coneerniner tbe difficulty which
occurred between us in Elberton on tbe 8th of
April last. My friend. Mr. B. Lv Carter, will
hand you this note. You will please name jour
friend and tbe time and place, somewhere be
yond tbe Savannah river, on tbe South Caro

purpose of settling tho trouble between us.
Respectfully, Phil W. Davis.
Here is Mr. Harper's reply to the chal
lenge: Tojlr. Phil W.Davla:
Sib Your communication to hand through
your friend Mr. 8. L. Carter. In reply, I have
simply to say that your conduct in the past
debars me from recognizing you In the capac
ity you request. This will be conveyed to you
by my f rlena, Mr. John C Brown.
Respectfully,
James L. Harper.
This is the way the matter stands at pres
ent "Various rumors are afloat as to what
will be the next move on Mr. Davis' part,
as the fact is recognized that matters cannot
stop where they are. That he will fight is
the general opinion, bnt it seems that he
will have to do so in a less formal style.
Many think the affair will be taken up by
some one of Mr. Davis' friends, and Mr.
Harper will be challenged by him. "What
is now mostly apprehended by the people
of Elberton is that when the two crentlemen
meet on the street they will settle the affair
in a bloody shooting combat.
WILD BIDE DT A CEMETEEY
With a Maniac Driver Holding to the Rein
of tbe Horses.
n1PICIAI.TILXaHAM TO THX DISPATCH.!
"Waltham, Mass., May 3. A young
son of stable keeper Caswell had a ride
with a maniac on Thursday which he will
not soou forget The stranger called at the
stable and asked for a team, saying that
he wanted it to go to General
Paine's house in "Weston. Young
Caswell acted as guide and the ride began.
All went well until the stranger, who held
the reins,drove into the cemetery, mistaking
it for the road lea dine; into Weston. As
soon as he saw his mistake he gave a yell of
horror and lashed his horse into a gallop.
On they dashed leaving the carriage road
and taking a course over a long line of
graves. Every time the wheels struck a
grave the two occupants were pitched for
ward, and it was only by the greatest luck
that they were not thrown out
The maniac driver kept up his yelling,
and the frightened horse continued his mad
race. Twice the buggy was overturned, but
the man, with superhuman strength, righted
it and kept on. Two or three old grave
stones were knocked down, and the doors to
tombs were damaged by the hubs ol the
wheels. Finally the buggy was wrecked
just out of the cemetery, and the boy, nearly
dead with fright, caught tbe horse and found
his way back at 1 o'clock in the morning.
EXTENDING THE PBDfCIPIE.
The Secret Ballot System to be Tried In a
Mtate Convention.
ISPFCT1L TXLIOBAM TO THB DlffATCH.I
Boston, May 3. There is a plan on foot
to have the principle of the secret ballot
applied to the next Bepublican State Con
vention in Massachusetts. The proposition
will be submitted to the Bepublican State
Committee before long, and it will have the
support of prominent members of that
organization. The plan has not been per
fected, but the details will not be difficult
to arrange. Each delegate will have
a chance to vote under tbe Australian sys
tem for all the candidates for State offices.
The ballots will be prepared and printed by
the Bepublican State Committee. One of
the things to be gained by the system is a
full expression of the whole convention in
the matter of candidates for all the offices.
As it is now almost all the delegates vote
for a candidate for Governor and Lieuten
ant Governor if there is a contest, but when
the time comes for voting for candidates for
the minor places on the State ticket great
numbers of the delegates have left

Senator Quay makes another flying trip to

Ex-Chairman Brennen thinks Black is out

There is a pretty political muss in the
Twenty-third Congressional district in
which the order of American Mechanics is
involved. Some time ago a self-constituted
committee, representing several councils of
the American Mechanics, called a meeting
and passed the following resolutions:
Whebeas, We, the undersigned Americans
by birtb, having viewed tbe disadvantages un
der which Americans labor from the effects of
emigration, thereby depriving the mechanics
of American birth from realizing that ma
terial benefit from their labor which they
should;
And whereas, Tbe present system of emigra
tion into this country of paupers of tbe Old
World, has been, and is carried on to such an
extent that if some remedy is not soon applied
the Americans by birth will soon become paup
ers themselves;
And whereas, From past experiences and
present appearances of tbe future, instead of
the evils abating, there is a certainty ot "thelt
increasing. Therefore we feel ourselves bound
by tbe duties we owe our country and onr coun
trymen to provide for the protection of Ameri
cans; Therefore be it
Resolved. That tor the purpose of further
ing the above objects, we request your Council
to appoint a committee of two, with power
to act, and with proper credentials, tomeer
with us on , the day of , 183,
at P. M., to enter into permanent organi
zation, for tbe purpose of Indorsing aud push
ing proper bills bearing on this (emigration)
question. J. M. Malonet,

ACTION ON THE EESOLTJTIONS.
The resolutions were sent to all the coun
cils in the district It resulted in the for
mation of an association known as the "De
fense Committee," and was made up not
only of representatives from the Mechanics,
but'of other American orders. However,
the Mechanics were in the majority, and
claimed to have the approval of State Coun
cilor "Winower.
The association at an early date appointed
a committee to interview tbe various candi
dates for Congress and ascertain from tbem
how each one stood on the immigration
question. This committee wrote to W. D.
Porter, but the ex-District Attorney replied
that he was not a candidate. They then
wrote to Mr. Bayne to find out what his
position was toward the Oates bill on im
migration. Mr. Bayne replied that his time
had been so occupied on the Ways and
Means Committee that he had only hastily
examined the bill in questiou, but he re
garded it as possessing many good points.
Erom his letter, tbe committee thought
Mr. Bayne was straddling the subject, and
at once wrote to Mr. George Shiras ILL,
Mr. Bayne's young opponent Mr. Shiras
replied in a very strong letter, indorsing the
Oates bill, and asserting that if he were
elected be would do all in bis power to have
that bill passed, and would work for all
legislation in consonance with the objects of
the Jr. O. TJ. A. M.
ME, SHIRAS INDORSED.
For this positive statement of position
Mr, Shiras was rewarded by the "Defense
Committee" meeting and passing unanim
ously the following resolutions:
Resolved. That this committee, representing
the Jr. O. TJ. A. M., 3r. O. U. A. M.. P. 0. 8. oi
A and I. O. of F. A. for tbe purpose of de
manding from Congress the passage of such
laws as would protect tbe citizens ot this
country from tbe horde of pauper Immigration
which is being annually landed on our shores,
indorse the. candidacy of Hon. Geo. Shiras, as
a candidate for Congress from the Twenty
third Congressional district as his utterance?
on this question were such as commend them
selves to us as being wise, patriotic and of in
calculable benefit to tbe citizens of this nation.
Resolved. That each delegate to this commit
tee pledge himself to use bis best efforts to
secure the nomination and election of Hon.
Geo. Shiras, and we call upon every citizen
who loves his country in this district to rally
around tbe standard of the man wbo bas tho
courage to (rive utterance to his principles as
Mr. Shiras hss done.
The name of the Mechanics having been
used contrary to the laws governing that
organization, word was sent to State Coun
cilor J. P Winower. He immediatelr
issued the following, which was sent broad
cast over the district:
Lancaster, Pa., May 2.
