mtOU A STAFF COERESPOKDEXT.l
BuiTBAB, July 2. To-day the work of
closing up all known or artificial entrances
to the Hill Farm mine has been pushed
rapidly and by daylight to-morrow morning
the mine will be as air tight as human abil
ity can make it Inspector Keighley had
cbarge oi the work of stopping the cut
through from the Mahoning mine. A brick
wall three feet thick was built in the open
ing. The work was completed by noon and
Mr. Keighley soon after departed for bis
home in Uniontown. His duties are
finished, except to see that the work of stop
ping up the Hill Farm mine is done without
subjecting the men to danger. All day the
work has been pushed at the other openings.
The two bare holes have been plugged tight.
A brick brattice is being erected in the en
trance from the Ferguson mine and another
brick brattice is being put up in the manway
of the Hill Farm. This znanway is sepa
rated by 20 feet from the main slope, run
sing parallel with it.
COXriXtSO THE FIRE.
Xo fire has burst out of the manway. The
fire has been confined to the slope, out of
which the thin blue smoke has been rolling
all day long. It is not thick smoke, but
more like quivering heat, so that no one can
go within 40 or SO feet of the pit mouth. An
engine was erected near the pit mouth yes
terday, and to-day it has been forcing com
pressed air into the manway. This hasdriven
back the smoke. This afternoon workmen
were able to go down for 500 feet. Here the
brick wall is being put up to-night. The
pit mouth will be filled with cinders and
earth. This will be difficult work. There
were employed in the Hill Farm mine and
on the orens and works connected with the
mine 120 men. In the Ferguson mine there
were 80 employes. A majority of these men
hare been employed in the work of rescue.
That being ended many were employed in
various ways about the works. The Dunbar
Furnace Company hopes to employ all in a
week or two.
The Fergnson mine will probably resume
and there is strong hopes the water may
soon be got out ot the Mahoning slopes to
allow the renewal of work there. This mine
has sot been worked because of water for
about 13 months. The work of pumping is
at last showing effect. There will be no
lack of work for able-bodied men.
ASSISTING THE NEEDT.
The Dunbar Furnace Company is feeding
the families of the lost miners at the com
pany's expense, but they will not say how
long they will keep this up. They are not
in a condition to- furnish clothing. To-day
Xevy Dewolf, manager for Mrs. Gusky,
came to Dunbar and made inquiry into tbe
conditions of the widows and orphans. The
families were visited by Father Malady and
Mr. Fagan, Secretary of the local assembly,
Knights of Labor. It was found that
nearly all need clothing. Some have needed
it lor along time. To-morrow Father Malady
will send to Gusky a list of the needy ones,
with their sizes, and Mrs. Gusky will on
Saturday or Monday have on hand complete
outfits of clothing and shoes for alL She
will attend to the wants not only of the
families ot the entombed men, but will fur
nish clothing to Mrs. John Kane, Mrs.
Burns and Mrs. Hughes, whose husbands
have recently met death in the mines, and
other.
A THOBOTJGH nfTESTIOATION TO BE HAD.
Four score persons nave been subpoenaed
to appear at the inqnest next Monday. The
investigation will be thorough. The people
in this region feel that such must be the
case. There is a general agreement that
efforts to search further for the bodies were
useless. Nobody complains because the
work was given up. People know that all
was done that could be done. The people
around the mine were not as numerous
to-day as usual. The workers have gener
ally left, with the exception of a few men
running the boilers and pump. The guards
save been removed. The inspectors have
all gone home. Mine experts will not pre
dict how long the Hill Farm mine will
burn after it is plugged. It may be only a
short time and it may be years.

trSOK A STATT COnilZSFOKDBST.J
Dunbab, July 2. Now that the efforts
of the brave men here to recover the 32
buried miners have ended, the people of the
county are likely to forget the widows and
orphans here who are suffering. The men
down iu the bowels of the earth are beyond
tbe help of human aid. There are scores oi
helpless women and children dependent,
who in the midst of their grief, are in want.
They have not even the consolation given to
most mourners for the dead of banging a bit
of crepe on the doors. At only two houses
Las this been done. They were the homes
of the two men, Dave Shearm and David
Hay, whose bodies were found in the mine.
At the houses no outward signs of loss has
been revealed. Some of the widows have
' put on black within tbe last three days.
SADLY IX NEED OF HELP.
litany people will doubtless be surprised
when they learn what a small amount has
been done for tbe people here". Iu Dunbar
and within a mile of this place are 18
widows and 6 dependent parents and 86 or
phans,yet all tbe money raised and reported
to the local relief committee is but 1,600.
There is great need of help for the families
here, but the situation does not seem to be
appreciated by the public Tbe local relief
committee has given out thus far only 35
to two families who were in need of imme
diate relief in tbe way of clothing. This
nfternoon a long session of the relief com
mittee was held in the office of Dr. Mullen,
the Chairman of the committee. The mem
bers of this organization who are taken
equally from the citizens here and from
representatives of the Knights of Labor
has done herculean work, not only as a
committee, but as individuals.
INDIVIDUAL WORK OF THE COMMITTEE.
Dr. Mullen gave $1D0 to the fund. This
was tbe largest single donation made here.
Besides this be established a hospital at the
Mahoning pit month, and there he remained
night and day lor 15 days. Last night for
the first time he slept in his own bed.
Father Malady, tbe Catholic priest, has
been tireless in his work among the men at
tbe mines and in visiting and consoling the
bereaved families. Ten of the families of
the lost men belong to his flock. Kev. "W.
F. Hunter, of the Methodist Church, is also
on the committee. He has been at the mine
dailv, and has been ready at all hours to
render help. Other members of the com
mittee who belong. to the "Workingmen's
Association have done work of which all
the continent knows, being tireless, vigilant
and fearless in tbe discharge of every duty.
Geprge Swearineen, the merchant here,
made a goodly donation, and is ever ready
to help when needed.
AN APPEAL TO THE QEKEBOT7S.
The members of this committee are sorely
troubled because more generous aid bas not
been given, and they unite in a desire that
the people of the United States may be
urged to remember the destitute by aid.
The meeting this afternoon was a long and
and perplexed one. A serious problem
troubles the committee here. It is not much
a question with them as to the present, but
to the future. There is no present need of
provisions, but the families must be aided
in some way to becoming permanently self
supporting. The committee discussed
several propositions, but none are feasible
at this time.
Dr. Mullen says: "To secure humble
homes for those who wish to remain here
and to get them into a position to support
themselves, and to assist those who wish to
go elsewhere, will take much 'more money
than we now see any hope of receiving.
Such things ought to be done, however, and
we trust that the good people of this coun
try will help us." At the meeting this
afternoon the available funds were consid
ered. There are $700 on hand, and O. M.
Parker, the District Assemblyman Treas
urer, had rent word he would be over from
Scottdale with $1,000.
DISPOSITION OF THE FUNDS.
It was decided to pay $50 to each widow
or dependent parent and 55 for each child
of the bereaved families, This money will
be paid to-morrow by the Distribution Com
mittee, which consists of Dr. J. J. Mullen,
Kev. Father Malady, Bev. W. F. Hunter
and Columbus Shea.
Money for the aid of the families of the
miners can be sent to any of these four men
or to C. M. Parker, all of whom may be ad
dressed at Dunbar. There will be another
meeting of the committee to-morrow.
After the meeting thisalternoon the news
paper correspondents were called in the
room, and were addressed by Dr. Mullen.
He expressed the gratitude of the citizens
for the work done by the newspapers, and
voiced the hope that they would be able to
arouse greater interest iu the unfortunate of
the miners' families. Dr. Mullen explained
that the money allotted will be paid, not
only to the 108 women and children who
live here, but will be sent to those away
from here who were supported by the earn
ings of the men who were lost. The father
of Dan McCashshaw and the mother of
Patrick Cahill, who live in Ireland, and the
father and mother of James Dewey, in
Tioga county, will each receive their $50.
"Word has been received here throngh news
paper reports ot other relief subscriptions
which have riot been sent in. The $368
raised by the International Sunday School
Union in Pittsburg has not been received,
but no doubt is felt that it will be sent in a
day or two. Hassles.

THE
IN A JERSEI JAIL.
Mrs. Lippincott, Whose Forgeries
Amount to Many Thousands,
ARRESTED AT HER MOTHER'S HOME
How the Shrewd Woman Eluded Detectives
for Many Months.
THE PRISONER TELLS HER BT0RT
Philadelphia, July 2. Justice has
overtaken Mrs. Julia C. Lippincott. The
shrewd woman whose forgeries, and upon
their discovery her subsequent flight, cre
ated such a tremendous sensation in South
Jersey last February.was caught in the drag
net of the law yesterday, and is now safely
lodged in Camden's old-fashioned jail.
Her capture reflects great credit upon the
sagacity of Detective James Henry, of
Camden, who ran the fugitive to earth after
scores of other detectives bad given up tbe
chase, and declared that Mrs. Julia Lippin
cott had disappeared never to be found. Not
one of tbe many victims of this clever
woman's cleverer forgeries would have
imagined by their quiet demeanors that the
quiet, motherly-looking woman and the
hrewd-Iookiug man who walked through
Broad street station together last night were
playing the roles of captive and captor. But
they were. The woman was Mrs. Lippin
cott, looking but little the worse alter a four
months' chase with the law, and her com
panion was Officer Henry, the terror of evil
doers in Camden county.
THE DETECTIVES' HTJKT.
The capture of Mrs. Lippincott was the
end of a long period of unceasing work and
sleepless effort on the part of Detective
Henry. When the private detectives of her
manydupes were scouring the country ex
hausting clues as to her whereabouts, and
other Yidcoqs were raising the wind to get
on her trail, Henry was quietly marking out
his course, and the last line he drew on his
successful map was one that stretched from
Camden to Baltimore. Mrs. Linpincott
was arrested by the shrewd Jersey man in
the Monumental City at high noon yester
day, o
Tbe 10 o'clock train from tbe South that
rolled into Broad street station last night
numbered them among its passengers. De
tective James Tate, of the Central station
office, met the pair on their arrival here.
He was closeted in an interview with his
brother officer, and half an hour later the
trio were in a carriage on their way to Cam
den. It was nearly midnight when the lock
on the jail door clicked behind Mrs. Lip
pincott, and she laid down upon the plain
prison cot a prisoner for the first time in her
life of nearly 60 years' duration.
UOT A FUGITIVE.
She played her sharp game till tbe last
moment, and ber wideawake captor was
more than surprised when he led Mrs. Lip
pincott into the ladies' restaurant, and
Lawyer B. O. Moon, of the firm of Arundel
& Moon, stepped up to and pleasantly
greeted them. In the intervening time be
tween her capture and departure for this
city she had written and dispatched a tele
gram to her attorneys. While she partook
of light refreshment Counselor Moon en
gaged her in conversation, and Detectives
Henry and Tate and a reporter sat at an ad
joining table. By courtesy of Attorney
Moon and Officer Henry tbe reporter inter
viewed Mrs. Lippincott, wlio maintains her
self-possession to a remarkable degree.
"I have not been hiding from justice,"
was her answer to a question regarding her
apprehension. "Yon can see that I am a
willing captive. When the officer found me
this morning I was ready to return to Cam
den with him without requisition papers. I
need not have done so had I desired to make
trouble. If I had intended to escape I had
ample opportunity to do so this morning.
But here I am and ready to prove that I am
not such a terrible character as the newspa
pers have painted me.
SHE CHABGES TBEACHEBY.
"I want to say that there has been treach
ery," she said suddenly, asjif recollecting a
train of thoughts which must have been run
ning through her mind while she was saying
the above.
"Yes, treachery," this with marked em
phasis. Then Mrs. Lippincott resolved into
silence.
"Where have I been since February?"
she repeated a few moments later, in re
sponse to a query. "OhI all over. You
know I have relatives living all through
Maryland, and have been among them all
the time. I was stopping with my mother
this morning when the officer called and I
willingly complied with his request to ac
company him to Camden without a requisi
tion. This affair has been so greatly en
larged that I suppose the public are willing
to believe that I am some terrible character.
Do I look-so?" and Mrs. Lippincott smiled.
She was dressed in a black figured ging
ham gown and wore a plain black straw bat.
There was not the slightest trace of worri
ment imprinted on her motherly features.
Though there are 17 indictments hanging
over her head, Mrs. Lippincott submitted
to arrest, thinking that there is only one.
This is an alleged forgery ot the name of a
relative of ber husband's in Camden, Free
dom Lippincott, who charges her with
swindling him out of several hnndred dol
lars. ABBESTED AT HEB MOTHER'S.
The warrant upon which Detective Henry
arrested her was one issned from the tench
by Judges Hugg and Garrison at the May
terra of court upon tbe applicatien of Free
dom Lippincott. Detective Henry expected
to capture Mrs. Lippincott a month ago, but
wben he went down to Baltimore after ber
she had disappeared, and be returned to wait
for her reappearance. Tbe co-operation of
a fellow officer at Baltimore was secured and
only yesterday morning a telegram told him
that the lugitive was on band. Four hours
later he was in Baltimore and directly on
the way to tbereBidence of Mrs. Lippincott's
mother, Mrs. Culnun, who lives in the
suburbs of Baltimore. He knocked at the
door, whicb was answered by Mrs. Lippin
cott herself. She did not change a muscle
as Henry took the warrant from his pocket
and read it to her.
Without wasting words she signified her
willingness to come back. They waited
until the heavy tide of travel was over and
came up on an early evening train. Coun
selor Moon was waiting and completed ar
rangements to defend Mrs. Lippincott
against all charges. "We shall co-operate
with a Camden attorney," said Lawyer
Moon, "but will have the entire case under
our charge."
LOS8ES FBOM HEB FOBGEBIES.
New Jersey was dumfounded when, on
tbe morning of February 27, tbe papers
published an account of the disappearance
of Mrs. Lippincott, together with a lull his
tory of her operations during the years that
she had been a successful business woman
and the partner of her respected husband,
Edwin Lippincott,the proprietor of Haddon
Hall, at Atlantic City, which had grown to
be one of the most popular resorts on the
coast, due largely to Mrs. Lippincott's busi
ness tact. The news fell like a thunderbolt
in Atlantic City and Philadelphia, where
resided the many victims of her facile pen,
which spared not friends or relatives iu its
search after victims.
One hundred thousand dollars was the
amount fixed as the losses due to her for
geries, and merchants, friends, servants and
institutions all suffered to a greater or less
degree by contact with her. Mr. Lippincott
discovered his wife's wrong-doing before her
disgrace was made public and she disap
peared, but though he bravely tried to bear
ber load, and did pay thousands of dollars
to her victims, he could not stand up under
the financial weight o her wrong-doing and
was compelled to let the world know his
trouble after he had paid out the savings ot
years iu his efforts to screen her. OI course,
the theory that Mrs. Lipnincott was insane
gained miy believers, but those who best J

'They were on the lookout for the thief, ax
numerous conplaintshad been made lately,
and the boy was at once arrested. He does
not know how much money he has taken at

very large amount. Some of the rifled
letterslwere found on the hillside, and
others were found in a great package under

It would cost nothing if there was no need
for it. This question would not rest until
justice was done, and the conscience of the
American people would not be permitted to
sleep until these great constitutional rights,
equality of suffrage and freedom ot action
and popular thought, should be, not cold
formalities of constitutional enactment, but
a living birthright which the poorest and
humblest might comfortably enjoy and
which the richest and most powerful dare
not deny. Republican applause.
God put no nation In supreme place which
would not do supreme duty. Applause
God kept no nation in supreme place which
would not perform the supreme duty 6f the
hour. Applause. This was the supreme
duty of the nation to enforce the Constitu
tion and laws of the United States. Let
gentlemen on the other side obey them as
the Republicans obeyed them; lor he told
them that the people of the North would
not permit two votes in the South to count
as much as five votes in the North. Re
publican applause.
A QUESTION OP TBOOPS.
Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, said that the
leader of the House had seen fit to keep
silent until the question arose as to whether
or not troops should be sent to the polls.
Since the Praetorian guards had proclaimed
that the Roman world would be sold at
auction there had never been presented so
sad a spectacle as that presentedby the rep
resentatives of the free American people
coming here and declaribg that they were
willing to go voluntarily under despotism.
Democratic cheers. The old ship of state
was to be souttled on the anniversary of her
first sailing. The gentleman had said that
the North would not tolerate the connting
in the South the time had come wben there
could not be in the American Republic au
enslaved South and a free North. Demo
cratic applause.
The Republicans might, liko madmen,
grasp the pillars of the Constitution and pull
down the edifice, but, like Samson, they
would perish in the wreck. If he could reg
ister a wish in heaven ne would ask not for
an extension of boundaries or the multipli
cation of territory; not for flowing rivers and
fertile fields, but, better far than all tbat, he
would ask tbat the man who laid violent
hands upon the Constitution might drop
dead as did the sacreligious ancient who
laid his impious hand upon the ark of the
csvenant of the living God. Democratic
applause.
THE PINAL APPEALS.
Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, made an elo
quent plea in favor of the bill. Mr. La
Follette, of Wisconsin, said that tbe peo
ple ol the North had exercised patience lor
a generation with the people of the South
in order to enable them to put themselves in
quiesence and obedience to tbe Constitution,
and they could bear it no longer. They
were under the command of the Constitu
tion to demand that in every part of the
Government every man should cast his vote
and have it honestly counted.
The hour of 2 o'clock having arrived, tbe
Speaker declared the previous question
ordered on the bill and pending amend
ment. Mr. Springer moved to lay the bill

Washington, July 2. The famous
Louisville postmastership contest is finally
eettled by the apDointment of John Barrett
to succeed Virginia C. Thompson, who has
been postmistress for 12 years through
the infiuence of the Campbellites of Ken
tucky and Indiana. Her influence was so
great as to induce the late Congressman
"Willis to support her retention during the
Democratic administration, and his act be
came an issue which resulted in his defeat
He secured the renomination, but Corruth
ran au indepeudent Democrat against him
on the Thompson issue and was elected.
The contest for the office under the pres
ent administration has been heated and
long, and all of Mrs. Thompson's church
friends stood' by ber. But for the reason
that the office has not been well managed
recently under Mrs. Thompson, and that Mr.
Barrett was an active Eepublican voter and
working with great influence at his com
mand, Mrs. Thompson has been obliged to
yield.
