BIS CHARGES OF CORRUPTION,
An Organized Band of the Kickers at Work
in Chester County.
CONCEALMENT KO LOS GEE POSSIBLE
Senator Emery is not a candidate for the
teat in Congress made vacant by 'Watson's
death, and will support the nominee. The
Independent Bepnblican conference at
Altoona examined the proofs of his charges
against Delamater, and they -will be given
to the pnblic shortly. An organized move
sent against the State ticket is already
veil under way in Chester county.
rSrXCIAl ICLIOBAJt TO THX DISrATCH.!
Altoona, August 28. "The conference
did all that ire came here to do," said Hon.
George E. Mapes, as he walked to the train
i at noon to-day. "We are going away satis
fied with what we have heard, althongh we
are not jubilant over it There is nothing
in the political conditions in this State for
any Eepnblican to be jubilant over this
year. I do not care to talk about it, nor
about what any of the gentlemen who were
here may deem it their duty to do in the
present campaign. The meeting here was
, simply what yoa have called it a confer
ence, for the interchange of views. Some of
those present I had no acquaintance with
before, and some were strangers to each
other.
MET TOGETHEB AS REPUBLICANS.
"We knew each other as Bepublicans,
however, and met as such. I do not feel at
liberty to tell you what was said. There
was no pledge of absolute secrecy, hut there
is an implied confidence in such matters
which I will not violate."
"What plan of campaign was decided
upon?"
"It was not the purpose of the meeting to
decide upon a plan of campaign, nor to pre
pare a proclamation of intentions, as some
of the papers have stated."
"Will there be an Independent Eepnb
lican ticket in the field?"
"That matter was not discussed.'
CONGBESSMAIT WATSON'S SUCCESSOR
Captain Boyer, who comes from Senator
Selamater'i own county of Crawford, Sen
.atoriLee and Emery, and two strangers,
took the early morning train "West. They
were in close and earnest conversation, and
declined to be interviewed. "When asked
who would succeed the late Congressman
"Watson, from the district in which both
Lee and Emery reside, Senator Emery
'said:
"Wait at least till after the funeral.
Selecting a successor to a dead man's shoes
before they are cold may be practical poli
tics of the present Pennsylvania fashion,
bnt it isn't decent politics. Congressman
"Watson's successor will be a Eepnblican,
you can depend on that. "We don't quarrel
about the tariff question up our way."
This may be construed to mean that Sena
tor Emery will not be an independent can
didate for Congressman "Watson's seat, and,
generally, that the anti-Delamater Bepubli
cans will stand by the patty nominees for
Congress.
AS TO SEXATOE LEE.
It is not known whether Senator Lee will
be a candidate for the vacancy caused by
Mr. "Watson's death or not He has always
kept inside of the party lines, althongh be
.could be counted against bossism all the
'time. He stood by Beaver in 1882, under
great pressure from the Independents, and
has made no declaration of his intentions in
this campaign.
He was a classmate of Senator Dela
mater's in college, and if he takes the stump
against him it will count for a great many
votes, especially in the oil country where
Lee is very much respected. He is the very
intimate friend of Thomas W. Phillips, the
"friend of Garfield" and millionaire oil
producer, and they will probably row in the
same boat this year, il r. Phillips was ex
.pected at this meeting, hut only reached
Philadelphia yesterday on his return from
an extended summer trip.
SIZING THEMSELVES UP.
The main purpose of the meeting here,
according to the best information that can be
gleaned from people who are not willing to
talk, was to get certain people in communi
cation with each other, and prepare the
way for an understanding among those who
are iu doubt about supporting Delamater,
or who have already made up their minds
to oppose him.
The results of the meeting will make
themselves pnblic in a short time. An im
portant part of the proceedings, it is under
stood, was the examination of the evidence
on which Senator Emery based his charges
of forgery and corruption against Delama
ter. This evidence Mr. Emery is expected
to make pnblic when the campaign fairly
opens, probably in the shape ot a speech at
Bradford.
"When it was suggested to Senator Emery
here, that he had come to an understanding
with Quay and would not press the charges,
he glared at the rash person who suggested
it, and responded:
"Go and ask Quay."

Fntnre Plana.
ISrSCIlX TM.BQBAX TO THX DISPATCH.:
"West Chester, August 28. The Inde
pendent Bepublicans ot Chester county can
no longer disguise the fact of their be
ing actively engaged in a well-organized
''still hunt" to defeat Senator Delamater
and elect Ex-Governor Pattison. There
have been rumors of their work
for weeks past, but it remained for to-day to
develop the fact of their being regularly or
ganized and doing a elean-ent, methodical
work to defeat the Eepnblican ticket at the
coming lall election.
The organization is acting in fnll sym
pathy and accord with the general State
plan in ascertaining the names of those
Bepublicans who have declared their in'en
tion to vote for Pattison. Alfred Sharpless,
who entertained ex-Governor Pattison here
on last Tuesday evening said to-day: "I
was asked to act on the Chester couuty com
mittee. I wrote eight letters to as many in
dependent Eepublicans asking them to
give me the names of other mem
bers of the Eepnblican party who had
declared for Pattison. I had heard
from four ot them when Governor Pattison
was at mv house last Tuesday evening, and
the fonr lists aggregated 80 names. I gave
them to E. A. Barber, who is tbe president
of our county organization, and he then in
formed me that he had the names of 600
Chester county Bepublicans who wonld
positively vote for Mr. Pattison. The list I
gave him increased the number to 700, and
we are daily hearing good word from all
parts of the county.
The members of the organization as a
general thing are disposed to observe ex
treme reticence in regard to the
work they are doing, and it is
safe to predict that after the fnll
enrollment for the county has been com
pleted there will be a movement in lorce as
will serve to openly show tbe strength of
the organization.. Until then the "till
hunt'-' will continuo-bo observed.

Stntement to bo Made.
Boston, August 28. Evidences are com
ing to light that the real cause of the sus
pension of Potter, Lovell & Co., which
occurred yesterday, dates back to the big
Sbaw failure. A draft" of $25,000 went to
protest Monday, but was subsequently paid.
The firm could easily have met all demands
yesterday from offers of assistance
by frfends, but deemed such action
useless, as they thought the failure in
evitable. The greater part of the indebted
ness is held by Boston banks, but all the
banks say they are amply secured by col
lateral and have good margins.
Counsel for Mr. William A. Haskell,
assignee of Porter, Lovell & Co., has placed
attachments upon the Shawestateand David
Cnmmings & Co., tanners. The attach
ments are all brought on one suit and ag
gregate 12000,000. The attachments
are placed for the purpose of protect
ing the creditors here. Assignee
Hasktll stated that it was Impossible to
quote figures. Ihe collateral consisted
largely of promissory notes and. were re
garded as trustworthy. A full statement,
he said, wonld be laid before the creditors
at a meeting which would be called as soon
as an expert accountant could make things
clear.
Mr. "Walter Potter says that no failures of
consequence are likely to follow on account
of Potter, Lovell & Company's assignment
if the banks will act liberally in helping
where money is absolutely needed by
firms that ere solvent. The business
amounted to ?GO,OOp,000 last year.
Mr. Potter" declines to state
the amount ot the liabilities direct or in
direct, before the assignee makes his report
The .firm of Potter, Lovell & Co., made an
arsignment because they were interested in
stocks and bonds, and the individual
partners, Mr. Potter said, had nothing to
assign beyond the firm interest He stated
that the amounts due tbem would show a
large surplus over the amount they owned.

Vienna, August 28. A distressing
murder and suicide is the sensation here
to-day. The City Architect, Herr Salipg,
disturbed at the attachment his 18-year-old
daughter had formed for a Lieutenant in
the Lancers, named Fischer, started with
the girl for a holiday jaunt In the Tyrol,
hoping thus to cure her of the infatuation.
Herr Baling and his family had reached
Oezthal, a small village with one hotel,
when they learned that tbe Lieutenant was
following them, and before night he arrived
and put up at the hotel where they were
stopping. The parents of Miss Salicg
watched their daughter carefully that she
might have no communication with Fischer,
and for several days she was not out of
their sight
This morning the young lady left her
apartment to go to the breakfast room
slightly in advance of her father, and upon
reaching the room occupied by the Lieuten
ant, the door was suddenly thrown open and
he sprang into" the passage way, seized the
girl around the waist and dragged her back
into his room, placed a pistol aga'inst her
temple and Mew out her brains. Then
turning the weapon upon himself he fired a
second time and fell dead beside her. At
tracted by the reports, the terrified guests
ran to the apartment where the two bodies
were fonnd stretched on the floor. The
mother of the girl, as it happened, was the
first to enter, and she fainted at the sight
She has been alternately conscious and
unconscious ever since, and fears
are felt that she will never recover her
reason. Lieutenant Fischer left a letter
upon his table narrating the incidents of his
life until he encountered Miss Saling, tell
ing of his love for her, the belief that it
was reciprocated and tbe utter uselessness
of his hoping ever to marry her, owing to
heart disease which he had inherited, and
which had been increasing in its intensity
to such a point as to insure his dismissal
from the army and his relinquishment of all
the pleasures of life that were accompanied
by either excitement or exertion.
His physioian. had warned him' against
marriage, and now, when he saw fame, posi
tion and his love lost to him he had resolved
to end his life at once and in ending it end
also the life of this girl. The body of Miss
Saling was brought to this city to-day.

TWO MURDERERS HANGED,
OHIO CRIMINALS EXECUTED IN PRISON
AT MIDNIGHT.
Leuth and Smith Pay the Penalty for Their
Dark Deeds Their Last Statements
Both Meet Death Without a Marmar
TUelr Crimes.
Columbus, August 28. At 11 o'clock
to-night the death warrant was read to
Leuth and Smith, the condemned murderers.
The spiritual advisers then took leave of the.
men. Lenth left a statement of his case
admitting the crime and denying that the
object was loot He aleo left a will dis-
Soslng of his small effects. Leuth was
anged first He had only to say that
he forgave all, and urged the officials to be
quiet with the worlt. tie aiea in n min
utes, "without a struggle. The trap was
sprung at 12:03 A. 21. The body was re
moved,and in less than 25 minutes Smith was
on the trap. He admitted his crime, ex
pressed his regrets therefor, forgave all, re
turned thanks to the Warden and family.
It was 12:40 when he was swung into
eternity. The executions were a neat piece
of work.
The crime for which Leuth was executed
was the murder of Maggie Thompson, the
8-year-old daughter of Jacob Thomp
son, of Cleveland, May 9, 1889. He
was arrested, confessed tbe crime
and was convicted December 28, 1889. The
case was carried through all the courts and
to the Board of Pardons and Governor, bnt
neither would interfere with the original
sentence. Leuth was about 17 and was born
in Berlin. His father, mother and brother
have been here for several days and their
meetings have been distressing. Mrs,
Leuth has threatened suicide.
On tbe night of December 9, 1889, B rocky
Smith killed Mrs. Bridget Byron at Cincin
nati, an aged widow. He stabbed her
in the face and neck and she died a
few minutes afterward. Mrs. Byron had
accumulated some money and bonds, which
was known to Smith, and which was the
motive for the crime. He was speedily con
victed and sentenced and his case run the
usual course without any interference.
Smith attributes his crime to drink, and
being crazy, as he says in bis last state
ment that he undoubtedly committed the
crime, but remembered nothing about it

Eopeiiors.
The charge of falsehood was heard in the
House several times yesterday, but nobody
resented it with a blow. la. large portion of
the day was consumed in rangling,-but by
the use of Beed's quorum rile the passage
of the lard bill was finally secured.
rsrXCXAL TZLEOBAU TO THE tISPATCB.1
"Washin GTOir, August 28. One of the
complaining men at the Capitol" to-day was
Senator Sannders, of Montana. "While the
great row was going on in the House yester
day he was sittingin his place in the Senate.
Colonel Sannders dearly loves to see a bit of
a fight, and keenly regrets the time wasted
in tbe Senate when he might have bten at
the other end of the Capitol.
"I onght to have been there," said he in
regretful tones to-day. "Naturally I am in
terested in "Wilson, of "Washington. "We
are near neighbors when we are at home,
and I want to see how he conducts himself
in an encounter with a Jersey man. I did
see one of the "Wilson family spar once. His
front name was "Tug," andl traveled all
tbe way from Helena to New York for the
sole purpose of seeing John L. Sullivan kill
him. I was disappointed in the result, bnt
the "Wilson family kept up its reputation,
and I wasn't sorry that I had traveled
nearly 6,000 miles to see the fray."
COMPABATITELT QUIET.
Compared with yesterday this was a rather
mild session of the Honse. Still it was a
little lively at times. The lard bill, which
was the moving cause of all tbe trouble, was
passed without mnch difficulty, although
the Speaker was obliged to count a quornm.
The question of the Cannon resolution was
again brought forward by a personal ex
planation from Mr. Williams, of Illinois,
one of the gentlemen named in the preamble.
He said that on Tuesday he had remained
in the Honse until 3 o'clock, when he had
been called home on account of illness iu his
family, and when he had been excused by
the House. He was then proceeding to
comment upon Mr. Cannon's action as a
member ot tbe Committee on itules, when be
was called to order by the Speaker, who re
quested that he confine himself to the ques
tion of personal privilege.
Mr. Cannon Let him go on. He does
not hurt anybody.
Tbe Speaker replied that it was not a
question as to whether anybody was hurt
or not; it was a question of the consumption
of public time.
HITTING AT CANNON.
Mr. "Williams I was only going to say
that the gentleman from Illinois could not
be hurt after the proceedings of yesterday.
Democratic laughter and applause.
Mr. Cannon It is scarcely proper for the
gentleman to mate that remark. Yester
day's proceeding appear in the Congres
sional record officially, and I am not afraid
of yesterday's; Crtuingr I am only
afraid'of lies-outsida of thitrchamber.
Mr. Williams What do you mean by
that expression?
Mr. Cannon Imean exaotly what I say.
Continuing he said that what had trans
pired yesterday touching certain" alleged ob
jectionable matter appeared in the official
record withont the crossing of a t or the
dotting of an i, and in the presence of the
American people he was willing to be triad
by the record, and objected to being tried
by lies outside of this chamber.
TTOT A HAPPT FAMILY.
Mr. Enloe I challenge that statemeat
Mr. Williams said that while it might
be a pleasure to his colleagues to send out
his resolution for publication, he had re
ceived his full reward; and he (Mr. "Will
iams; wonia not, it be could, add additional
punishment to that which he bad already
received. (Democratic applause).
Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, neiog to a
question of personal privilege, said that he
had been included in the black list He
had temporarily absented himself for the
purpose of defeating a quorum which be
could not properly characterize in parlia
mentary language. Considering that bill
as a blow to bis constituents which could
not be defended'on any democratic or con
stitutional principle, he considered it his
highest duty to undertake to defeat it by
any means snort of absolute criminality.
Mr. Mason said he did not know whether
his name was on the blacklist If it was
not it ought to be there, for he had absented
himself several times to avoid making a
quorum, and he had no apology to make
lor it He had had no opportunity of ap
pearing beforejthe Committee on Agricult
ure to be heard on this bill.
TWO DIFFEBENT BILLS.
Mr. Fanston, of Kansas, said that the
gentleman from Illinois had been heard by
the committee on the Conger bill.
Mr. Mason admitted- that he had been
heard on tbe original Conger bill, but not
upon tho bill which bad just passed. Mr.
Henderson, of Iowa, suggested that the
gentleman bad discussed the whole laid
question. '
Mr. Mason said that he had discussed
some portions of the questions, but that he
had had no opportunity to discuss the new
elements of the bill. This lack of oppor
tunity was caused by a rule known to the
Bepnblican party alone and the rule was
all right for he had stood by it-but some
times it was hard to take your own medi
cine. Laughter. He had made np his
mind when the medicine was prepared for
him to make as lively a job of kicking as he
could, and he had made that kicking. He
would not apologize for it, and he wonld
make no further explanation except to his
constituents.
Here he was interrupted by Mr. Funstou,
amid a good deal of confusion and merri
ment Mr. Fnnston continued with his ob
servations, despite the declarations of the
Chairman that he was out of order.
A CHAEOE OF FALSEHOOD.
Mr. Funston protested against being sat
upon by the gentleman from Illinois. If
the gentleman stated that the Commute,
on Agriculture bad not given him an oppor
tunity to be heard he stated a falsehood.
Mr. Cheadle, of Indiana, and Mr. Enloe,of
Tennessee, insisted on Mr. Funston's last
remark being taken down.
After some discussion as to whether this
was proper Mr. Funston's remark having
been made out of order Mr. Mason said
that he understood the gentleman's remark
to be that if he (Mr. Mason) said he had
not been heard by tbe committee he stated a
falsehoods And tbe gentleman was entirely
correct Laughter. But he (Mr. Mason)
had not Btated'tbat be had not been' heard.
He asked the privilege of forgiving his
brother, and he insisted on that privilege.
Laughter. .
The words were taken down and read a
the clerk's desk, bnt no aetion was taken.
TIME TO APOLOGIZE.
Mr. Sichardson, of Tennessee, called at
tention to the scene in the House yesterday,
and suggested that the gentlemen engaged
in the altercation should bo allowed an op
portunity to explain their conduct, bnt the
suggestion was not heeded, and finally, per
sonal explanations and qnestions of privi
leges being disposed of for the present, the
Honse proceeded to business, and resumed
the consideration of the bill for the adjust
ments claims of laborers under the eight
hour law. Mr. Lacey, of Iowa, gave notice
that on Monday next he would call up the
contested election case of Clayton against
Breckinridge.

TJnder the recent disability service pen
sion law.circulars were sent by claim agents
to officers of both the volunteer and regular
service. An officer in the regular organiza
tion returned his circular with a statement
that he was a retired army officer and there
fore not entitled to a pension. The claim
agent replied by saying that a decision ren
dered during the last administration con
cerning tbe scope of the Mexican "War-pension
law included all who had participated,
and that no discrimination was made be
tween those who had been disabled and
those who had not It was decided
that .the law was substantially a
service pension law. Following that
decision there was no reason why an
officer on the retired list of the army
could not draw pension under the act for
disability incurred in the late war. which
had placed him on-tbe retired list, and
which also incapacitated him from perform
ing manual labor.
Tbe Mexican pension law is a service
pension law, while the recent law is a disa

ment as to the cause of Governor Wolfley's

"Wolfley's personal or official character had
not been brought in question.
He was an honorable gentleman, and he
(the secretary) had been for many years and
was still his friend. Yet, while this was so,

man William M. Springer, of Illinois, in

and ex-Congressman Boswell G. Horr, of
Michigan, on behalf of the Bepnblican
party, opined at the county fair here to-day
the series of joint debates of the tariff ques
tion, to which the Eeform CInb has chal
lenged the Republicans. There wete 10,000
people on the gronuds, and as many as could
wedge themselves into the grand stand, and
upon the open place in front and between
tbe grand stand and race track. Mr.
Springer opened the discussion in a speech
ot nearly an hour, during which he pre
sented a summary of tbe Democratic side of
the tariff question, dwelling in particular
upon tbe arguments that address themselves
peculiarly to farmers.
Mr. Horr, in reply, declared that if Mr.
Springer's argument was correct manu
factured articles that have been protected
tor the last 30 years should have increased
in price. As a matter of fact the reverse
was true. He cited salt, steel rails and
other articles in proof of his assertion and
declared that protection built up home man
ufacture until by competition among them
selves they reduce prices. He affirmed that
England's opposition to the McKinley
measure was enough to make him its cham

indictments with the greatest reluctance.
They were brought into court by the prose
cnting attorney, who addressed them re
garding their duties, and told them that
unless they did their duty he would dis
charge them and call another jury.
MET FEIGHTENED THEM.
Judge Lilly added to this Statement that
if they sought to protect the law-breakers
he would refuse to sign their warrants for
pay. After" this the jury promptly indicted
tbe men whose crimes they have been in
vestigating. French and Eversole and
nearly all of the indicted men are now con
fined in the little jail, and the others will
be apprehended as speedily as possible.
The Sheriff and hisdeputies are powerless,
and tbe militiamen have arrested all tbe
prisoners. Green Morris, one ot the lead
ing outlaws, was arrested last night He
was living in utter defiance of tbelaw, and
loudly boasted that he could not be arrested.
No Sheriff could be found willing to ar
rest him, and a detail of soldiers was sent
atter him. He was caught at the head
of Bull Creek, in Letcber county. There
was a deputy sheriff with the party, but he

day night His trial has been set
for next week, being the first of
the murder cases to be brought
to trial. He will, f--7obably get a death,
sentence. On Monday morning a deputy
sheriff and six militiamen went into the
mountains to arrest an outlaw npon an in
dictment Three days have passed and no
word has been beard from them. A feeling
of uneasiness pervades the camp as to their
welfare. A rumor is in circulation among
the citizens that the entire party
was ambushed and slain at a point about 15
miles distant As no information regarding
the affair can be obtained from the citizens
who are loth to talk for fear it may be used
against them, a party has started toward the
place to ascertain the cause of the prolonged
absence of the men. They should have re
turned within a day and the rest of the
command fear the worst
A Louisville telegram says: Captain
Gaither, in command of tbe State troops at
Hazard, writes that the leaders, French and
Eversole, while in confinement h3ve agreed
to compromise their differences. The letter
closes as follows:
(Sunday, French sent word to Marr, tbe Com
monwealth's attorney, that he and Erersole
bad settled the matter; that they had nollied
the cases acainst themselves and were ?oinr to
hand over the? scoundrels who bad been bush
wbacttne. This is not an impossible conclu
sion of the matter. Tbe men who have hired '
these murderers may be acquitted and their
tools bang.
Ef THE FEUDAL STXLE.
The war has been conducted somewhat on
tbe feudal system. Tbe followers of each
par.ty were armed by the leader and protected
in their lawless dealings during peace. When
there was any fighting to do, they had to fight
for the glory there was in It, and what they
needed to eat and wear. A number of the fol
lowers or eacn party came Irom other coun
ties, and have not been cauebt.
Judge Lilly this morning made an order '
transferring all the cases to Clark county. Tho
outlaws are in despair, and Judge Morton, in
whose district Clark county 13. has the honor
ot banging more criminals than any other
Judge in Kentucky. Tbe prisoners will be
taken to Winchester by tbe soldiers. Tbaro
are so many of them that some trouble' la
feared in getting them across the mountains,
but there is no doubt of their being conducted
