"5? i I i r V S BIS WRITING TESTED. An Important Witness in the Clayton Case Made to Reprodnce A LETTEE OP JACK THE HIPPER. By So Doing He f roves He is Not the Author of the Original. CONCLUSION OP THE IIEAKIKG 'TO-DAT Little Eoce, May 6. The Clayton Breckenridge investigating committee lis tened to the evidence of over 100 witnesses to-day, the majority of -which were negroes, put upon the stand for the purpose of proving how they voted at the Presidental election. Shortly after the committee as sembled in the moraine Hon. Carroll Arm stronc arose and made an apology for the strong language he used on the evening be fore in denouncing the slanders against the people of Conway county. His apology was made to the committee. Before adjourn ment this afternoon the Chairman, Mr. lacey, announced that it was the intention of the committee to conclude its labors to day. The most important witness called to day was Oliver T. Bentley, the man whom Clayton suspects of having killed his brother. Bentley is the Deputy Sheriff of Conway county, and claims to have been in Morriltou on the night that Clayton was killed at Plumerville. DEPUTY BENTLEY'S STOKT. To-day he handed the commtitee papers in the divorce case of Luther versus Luther, which he served on Lydia Luther and others on Tuesday aiternoon, January 29, 1SS8, ncross the river from Morrilton. He re turned from across the river about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. About dark that night he served notice on John Hinkle, the attorney, to take a deposition in the case on Feb ruary 8. Hinkle appeared before the com mittee and corroborated the testimony given on this point by Bentley. "Witness is pre pared to prove that after he leit Hinkle he went to supper and from there attended a dance. After witness had given this testimony he was asked if he had any objection to giving the committee a specimen of his handwrit ing, to which he made answer in the negative. Chairman Lacey then dictated to the witness to write the following letter, which he did very rapidly: A. GOBY ErlSTtE. State or New Hami-siiiee, June, 1SS9. Town Marshal, Morrtllon. Ark. : Yon may soon prepare your coffin and bid adieu to your family, as you shall soon take tne road that Colonel Clayton took. 1 am a little sorry for killing Colonel Claj ton, as we thought It was old Powell Clayton. He is the one we ehall kill before many suns does set over his' head, and you, yourself, You, too. shall soon bito the dust. Yon passed a great Insult to me on the streets of iloml ton once, and 1 have not forgotten it, nor never Ehall till I shoot your brains out. This is no foolinc yon rascal; and jou needn't doubt it. I shall kill you in spite of . You saw me awhile ago, and you did not know it You will soon see me, but it will be too late for you to live. Respectfully, Jack the Ripper, No. 1 As soon as Bentley concluded writinc the above gory article he handed the sheet of paper to Major Lacey, who compared the writinc with that of the original. There was no similarity whatever in the chir ography of Jack the Eipper, 2fo. 1, and that of Bentley. CAPT. ITCAIiA'S DEFENSE. His Attorney Sny That Sunday School Methods Won't Do on a Man-of-Wnr. NEW Yoek, May 6. The last day of the McCalla court martial was given up to the hearing of the argument of the counsel for the defense. Mr. Choate dwelt on the points brought out by the defense in the cross-examination of witnesses, showing the bearing of the rules and regulations on the alleged cruel or illegal acts, and pointing out other instances of worse punishments aud subse quent acquittal of the officer. The counsel defended the use of strait jackets for re straint or punishment Before ships of war could be carried on like a Sunday school or 8n assembly at Delmonico's the millenium dust come. The charge covering the "Walker matter was the only one on which his client should have been tried. McCalla, Mr. Choate said, was justified in going ou deck to look into a disturbance which had overcome the officer of the deck, and he was justified in all that followed. Acting under the statutes, McCalla had drawn his sword,aud resting the point of it on the deck had said to "Walker: "If you don't stop your noise I will cut you down." Walker challenged him to do it. The crew became threatening. McCalla then must have either gtyen in or struck Walker. Alter Mr. Choate concluded, Judge Ad vocate Gorst reviewed the case, and pointed out variances in the testimony on certain specifications. This closed the public hear ing, and from day to day the board will meet with closed doors until they have pre pared their report This will be sent to the Secretary of the Navy for his approval. PBINT1NTJ DEADHEAD TICKETS. Tbe Allegheny Committee Dlicsiien the Art Preecrvntlvc, na Applied lo Councllmen. At the meeting of the Allegheny Printing Committee last night bids for newspaper ad vertising were opened. They were as fol lows: Commercial-Gazette, 40 cents per square for first insertion, aud 35 cents for each subsequent insertion; Frets, 24 cents for each insertion; VoVublatt, 20 cents for each insertion; Chronicle-Telegraph, 25 cents for each insertion: lYeiheit't Freund, 30 cents for each insertion. The bids were regular, and the bonds accompanying each were approved, and they will all be sub mitted to Jtbe joint session of Councils to morrow night. The committee approved bills to tbe amount of $2,100, but in the doing a small cloud arose temporarily when Mr. Knox, of the Sixth ward, entered a mild protest against a bill for ?4 25 for printing the passes intended for members ot the Library 'Committee, entitling them to entrance to entertainments in Carnegie Hall. Mr. Knox moved that the bill be referred to the Xibrary Committee. There was a good deal of fun over the matter, and as nobody would second the motion it was not put" by the Chairman, Mr. Parke. The bill -was then approved, and passed with other bills. POLITICS AND QUEER BEDFELLOWS. Rival Delecntca Who Are Close Friends and Soilness Partners. As an instance of the unprecedented bit terness of the Bayne-Shiras fight it is ascer tained that all former precedents of courtesy between the opposing candidates have been violated in the "setting up" of rival dele gates in each candidate's voting precinct. Mr. Shiras started the music by setting up a Shims delegate in the voting precinct of Colonel Bayne at Bellevue. Thereupon the Bayne leaders put up a Bayne delegate in the Second precinct of the Fifth ward, where Mr. Shiras is wont to deposit his ballot. t The humorous side of matters in Mr. Bhiras' district is that the opposing dele gates are close friends and business partners in a Wood street firm Eeymer Brothers. Mr. Clem Beymer is Mr. Shiras' delegate, and John Smitley is out for Bayne. There js a heap of good-natured bantering between them, but the race will be for "blood" all the same. Chawoe of life, backache, monthly ir regularities, hot fashes, are cared by Dr. Miles' Nervine. Free samples at Jos. JTIemlng & Son's, Market st, GETTING IN GOOD SHAPE. How Delegates to tbe bandar School Con vention Will bo Entertained.

The cafe has been se cured, and arrangements are being made for feeding; the delegates a substantial dinner and supper without leaving the Exposition buildings. SOME ABNORMAL "WEATHEE. Eight Decrees Below Normal, and a Cool Summer Probable. The gentlemen away up near the sky in the Schmidt & Friday building, who dish out the weather for this portion o! Uncle Sam's heritage, do not trouble themselves much over the present vagaries in tem perature aud moisture. At 10 o'clock last night it was said there would be frost this morning if tbe clouds cleared away and the wind fell before morning and the tempera ture to-day is like to be lower than that of yesterday. The mean temperature yesterday was 50, and that for the month 6i. The normal temperature for 18 years past on Hay 6 has been 58, so that yesterday was over 14 per cent below, or unusually cool. The excess of temperature from January 1 to May 1 was 604. In April there was an excess of 73, a de ficiency of 73 in April; an excess of 251 in Pebrnary and an excess of 345 in Jan uary. The Signal Service observer gave out the cheering intelligence to all except ice dealers that the law of compensation, fonnded on long experience, wonld give us a cool summer this year. JOHN KEHHETS RELATIVES FOUBD. Sirs. Shelley, of Fortieth Street, Is HI. Sister, nd Will Dory the Body. Mrs. Alice Shelley, sister of John Ken ney, who died in Detroit Sunday, called at the Central station yesterday and asked Inspector McAleese to telegraph the Chief of Police of Pair Haven, Washington, to look for her other brother, who is in that town. Mrs. Shelley's husband started for Detroit yesterday to bring home Kenney's body. The remains will be interred in Hollidayc burg. Mrs. Shelley resides on Fortieth street, below Butler, and the first intimation she had of her brother's death was when she read of it in yesterday's Dispatch. The charge of foul play will be investigated. COULD NOT QTJEEB SMITH. IIo Receives With Indifference Iho News of the Pardon Board's Uefnsal. Attorney McElroy, counsel for wife mur derer Smith, the colored man now confined in the jail, waited upon the condemned man yesterday and informed him that the Par don Board had refused to commute his sen tence or recommend that mercy be extended him. The prisoner received the news with stolid indifference. Not a muscle of his face moved as he heard the news. He said he was sorry, hnt beyond this did not seem to care what was done with him. He ate his supper with the same relish that has characterized his actions since he was first placed behind the bars. A BBEOGE AT "WHEELINO. Likewise an Electric Hallway to be Bollt na Soon as Possible. Jolly Brothers have been awarded the contract to bnild the sub-structure of a bridge from Wheeling to Wheeling Island and from thence to Etnaville, O.

THE PUBLIC During the past two yeans have read the many testimonials from patients who have been cured by the physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute -at Na 323 Penn avenue. Please remember that these patients were not those who had some simple catarrh of the bead which, with a few local treatments and snuff medicines at the hands of the doctor seem to be cared but were patients suffering from catarrn in 1U most aggravated, chronic form, and which, in some cases, had developed 4nto consumption. Notwithstanding- the fact' that numerous traveling doctors and so-called specialists have located In Pittsburg, the patronage of this medical institution has steadily increased. The testimonials published, and which always contain tbe name as signed by the patient, together with the crowds of people who daily call on these specialists, prove their success in the treatment of catarrh. Also please remember that this Is the only Institution In Pittsburg where only catarrh, dyspepsia and diseases of women are received for treatment, preferring to troat these diseases successfully rather than attempt to cure all diseases. Mr. Fred Ilahn, Another well-known resident of Bharpsburg has been a victim of catarrh and dyspepsia. His stomach gave him an endless amount of trouble. He had belching of gas from bis stomach after eating, sour taste, and often felt like vomiting his food. His appetite was poor, and as his liver was much enlarged It gave him great pain. In fact, he would often be taken with such sharp cramps and pain across his stomach and bowels it seemed as If he could not live. He had palpitation of the heart, dizziness, weakness and pain across tbe small of his back, and a numb, lifeless feeling in bis limb':. He could get but little sleep, and as every change of weather gave him a cold, he took on a lingering conga, his oreatn Decame short .tnd bo felt pain and soreness in his lungs and under his shoulder blades. Night sweats weakened him very fast, and he gradual! v grew worse until he lost 30 pounds of flesh. Having a nlfe and two small children whom be dearly loved, depending on him for a living, and hav ing spent all his money in doctoring to no avail, not being able to work, he became discouraged and disheartened, and often became so melan choly that bo would feel tempted to jump into tbe river and thus end bis suffer ing. One day he noticed in the paper an account of a patient who bad been cured by the catarrh specialists at 323 Penn avenne of conditions that seemed similar to his own. He resolved to call on these special ists. He did so, and was told he could yet be cured. Although be had but little faitb, he re solved to try once more, and after taking a course of treatment became cured. He says: "Tbe above history ot my disease and cure is true in every respect I had received treat ment from 20 physicians, yet gradually grew worse, and for one year before beginning treat ment with these physicians I was scarcely able to do any work. I have now worked hard for tbe nast two months, feel well and strong. and words do not express the joy I feel that my life has been spared aud health restored. I hereby sign my name, FRED HAHN."

May SHOES! ISOUE. SUBJECT Who isn't interested in Shoes ? Who isn't anxious to know where the best footwear can be gotten for the least money ? If you will give us your attention for a few minutes, we in return will give you many dollars in clean, clear savings. Above all things, bear this one fact in mind: We don't sell any but solid leather shoes. Leatherette, which bears the same relation to leather as does oleo margarine to butter, or shoddy to wool, is now more than frequently palmed off on unsuspecting customers as the genuine article. A few weeks' (often a few days') wear invariably settles a pair of leatherette shoes, leaving you to wonder why you are so much "harder" on shoes than your neighbor who buys his shoes at Kauf manns'. But it's never too late to mend. If you have never bought your shoes from Kaufmanns, do so now. You'll be the gainer by it, as the following prices will prove: MEN'S SHOES. Bright Dongola Shoes.patent leather vamps,$i 50 Liona Kid Shoes, flexible soles, $1 98. Hand-turned, French Kid Shoes, $2 50. Bright Dongola, English Waukenphastsj $3 75. Serge Congress Shoes, neat and durable, 65c Tan Button Shoes, genteel and stylish, $1 50. LADIES' SLIPPERS Infants' Kid Button, sizes 2 to 5, 19c. Infants' Bright Dongola, 50c.
