PliILADELrHlA, October 11, Never be fore within its history has the Academy of 3Iusic been more crowded with people than it was to-night. From every section of the city hundreds of citizens poured into the building, filling every seat and crowding the aisles. At last the officers in charge of the door were forced to deny admittance to the remaining hundreds who arrived too late and who were thus compelled, in order to hear the speak ers, later on to go to Horticultural Hall, where an overflow meeting was in progress. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Young Men's Democratic Associa tion, and in enthusiasm, as well as in point of numbers, it was a most decided success. An Enthusiastic Greeting. Ex-Governor Pattison, the successful can didate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, and his gallant opponent, ex United States Senator "William A. "Wallace, both of whom spoke in favor of the election of the Democratic State ticket, were ac corded a reception such as is seldom given to the most distinguished of our country's citizens. When ex-Governor Pattison made his ap pearance in the aisle leading to the stage on the right side of the building he was in stantly recognized, and at once there arose a shout which, being taken up, was repeated again and again until after he had taken his teat upon the stag. Thrice was he compelled to acknowledge the cheers before the cheering and howling subsided. "Wallace Heartily Recei ed. Candidate Pattison had been upon the stage fully 20 minutes before ex-Senator "Wallace arrived. "When Mr. "Wallace made his appearance upon the stage, accompanied by ex-Postmaster Harrity, the crowd rose as if one man. Cheer after cheer rent the air and hats and handkercha's were wildly waved, but when ex-Governor Pattison rose and extended his hand m greeting to Mr. "Wallace, who clasped it warmly, there was a scene seldom witnessed at any political gathering, which was again repeated when Colonel A. K. McClure, after being escorted to a seat upon the stage, greeted the candidate for Governor. Upon the stage were seated many of the leading Democrats of the State. Samuel Gnstine Thompson, President of the Young Men's Democratic Association, under whose auspices the meeting was held, presided, and made a short but telling speech. He was followed in turn by Robert E. Pattison and ex-State Chairman W. U. Hcnscl, both of whom made speeches of great Jorce and eloquence, which were vocifer ously applauded. The Speech of the Evening. The chief interest, however, centered in the speech of ex-TJnited States Senator "William A. "Wallace, about whose position in tne campaign there has been much spec ulation and some doubt. Mr. Wallace said: .Mr. President, Ladles and Gentlemen: I am somewhat new In this contest, for I have jut corao from a foreign shore. I know very little of the current issues, or the drift of events In onr grand old Commonwealth, but my interest in her. my hopes for her deliver ance, my anxiety lor her success or the success of the Democracy in this contest, are as rine and as decided as ever. Applause. The Issues of the contest haie already been sharply defined. Tiiey are upon the one sine, as I understand them, clean, economical, honest government, admin istered hi pure men, and the reverse of this upon the other. Applause. The duty of all or us under tuch a condition of affairs is too plain for any man to err in that which is cast upon him. With candidates that are clean and pure, whose records aro undisputed and Indisputable, with a platform that is eqnal to theocrasions of the hour, why snonld Demo crats hesitate in regard to their action in the coming contests? Tartj and Issues Indorsed. I accept the candidates of my party. I ac cept the platform of my party. (Applause.) It is the plainest duty of the Democracy to yield obedience to party behest, w ben a major ity have determined that the flat is to go forth in a paricular direction, and I, for one, hope that eterj one who hears nic now thinks as I do, bons his head in acquiescence and accepts the results and will do his utmost to win success. Besides the issue that I imo already told you is the plainly defined isue of this contest, there is another onc,a stronger one.one that appeals to ine.occu pying the charges I have occupied in this country and in this State, and with more force, with more determination, with more requisi tion at my hands than the other It is that I aintotry to bring results to the candidates of my pii tj ; that I am to try to bring this instru mentality, mo onij instrumentality that I be lieve in, into active, energetic work in the re sults of Governmental affairs in the country. I have said that it is our duty to accept these candidates and this platform. This is not all. It is our plain, clear duty to do what we can to unify the organization of the Democracy. It is onr duty, our plain, clear, bonuden duty to elevate the thoughts of the Democracy, to purify its opinions, if they need purification, to stand for all that is right and just, and pure and tiuo in the principles of onr organization and in its standard bearers, and do what we can to elevate and give progress and success to the principles we believe in. JTot this alone, but The Hour Has Come when factions of every kind, of every charac ter and description, within the lines of our organization must ield and hide their heads, and organization and discipline and unity in execution of the will of the majority, are to be our rule in the future. As a Democrat I feel and recognize that I am the equal of any man in the conntry, believing as I do in all her principles, standing by her doctrines, seek ing delight and undertaking to push her to the front, elevating, purifying and advanc ing and moving her to the steady light of aay. This is my idea of politics and of Democratic politics applause. If wo aro to have party government we are to bow to party govern ment. As long as we have party rule we are to bow to party rnle. Party rule, ana it is in dispensable in the conduct of a Government like ours. We cannot dispense with it; we must ha o it; and the people of the United States will never dispense with it. The man who has voted the Democratic ticket and believed in Democratic principles, who docs not know that this is tbe opportunity of our people is wilfully blind. Many Republicans have determined to dethrone tbe rulo that con trols them in Pennsylvania and this thought is wider than the State. It does cot exist alone in Pennsylvania. But the power that controls and dictates terms to us here is as wide as the limits of the Republic The Democrats Opportunity. It is for us to do what we can to support and sustain this element that is ready and has been ready and anxious to come to us and bring suc cess to our principles. How shall we do it? Is it to sit by continue bickering and division, or Isitbyutiity and harmony, and earnest -wort, to poll our full vote, bringing our people to the polls and giving encouragement and hope to tho Republicans who wish to come to us? Do you think for a moment that these people are going to stay at hoine and not vote. For many of them will take that line. Or are tbey going to come and vote for our can didates if we stick and do not show our de termination, our strength or our virility, our organization, our power, onr determination to vote? Think you for a moment that this ele ment means that it will have its throat cnt by tbe bosses? Nothing of the kind. The reverse of that is true. Let us give tbem hope and en couragement by showing that we are harmoni ous, energetic,pusbmg a driving and victorious party. The Democracy of Pennsylvania continues to turn her face to tbe light and she proposes to redeem the grand old Keystone Btate and place her once more in tbe front. The result of this will be overwhelming. Let those who seek to come to us and who are ready to fight with us who only seek an opportunity to deter those who aro with us, join in this movement. They sit supinely by and do nothing of this kind Let them imagine we are cold and indifferent, that we are willing to sit down. I believe some one acensed me of that. rLauehter.l Iiut let them believe this, and those of our Republican brethren who will not come to the polls, those who will not vote to change the result, will come in and join onr forces and vote for our candidate. Those who do not bring their mind up to that point exactly will stay at home and thus gam the victory. Giclcus The Victory Once 3Iore In this grand old Commonwealth. Let us place our candidates once more In official places of tbe Commonwealth and when wo fall to do what is right, turn us out again. That is tho right course, that is tbe proper course. My Republican friends, suppose we win this vear in Pennsylvania; suppose we elect tbe Gov ernor of our choice and the Lieutenant Governor and the other officials upon the ticket and obtain a majority in the lower House, what is to be tbe effect upon tbe apportionment bill? Tins Senate of ours cannot be changed this year. They have 21 Senators holding over and ther will certainly elect enough to give them a majority, and they will not give ns an apportionment bill as we wish. They will keen the gerrymanders unless we cannot get enough Republicans to join with us. Any Repnblicauwhomay have compunc tions upon that subject should see it from this standpoint. On tbe other question of Senator the ma jority on joint ballot gives us the control of an election of Senator. Would It do any harm for Pennsylvania to have a voice in tho United States Senate? (Cries of "No. no."l Penn sylvania, with more than 5,000.000 people and tbey have recently admitted two buroughs into tbe United States in the West that have not as much population in tbem as the county of Lancaster and yet thev have two voices id the Senate. Who can he hurt? The man whom tbo Democracy mtu", elect as United States Senator, if we Eaoulrt carry tbe lower House and thus have a majority on joint ballot, must be a citizen of Pennsyl vania. He must have ber interests at heart; be must do that which pertains to him a a repre sentative of tho people. We will never be badly hurt with reforence to that. .Now, my Republican friends, I talk to you upon this subject. In w hat will you be seriously injured if that result should come about? I do not see that yon will be very badly hurt. Senator "Wallace concluded with a few remarks on the necessity for ballot reform and a somewhat extended criticism of the Federal elections bill and the McKinley tariff. SENATOR EMERY'S SECRET SAID TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED HARRISBURG. AT The Identity of X, V and Z, Who Testified Against Delamater, Disclosed An Ex Scnator, an Ex-Representative and a Newspaper Man tho Famous Trio. New York, October 1L A Harrisburg special to the World gives what purports to be the names of the gentlemen designated as X, Y and Z in the charges brought by ex-Senator Emery against Candidate Dela mater in his recent speech at Bradford. The article says: "The correspondent of the World is pre pared to throw much light upon the Emery allegations. Much doubt has been cast upon the theme on account of the secrecy Senator Emery was constrained to observe on the most important features of his expo sition. He stated, as quoted directly from his recent speech at Bradford: 1 received a statement from a citizen of this Stato in the presence of citizens of Bradford, who attached their oaths to the same I am re quested not to use their names, but in case of prosecution their names will appear. The men will co upon the witness stand and swear to tho trnthfulness of what they said therein. Three of the names I will designate as X, Y, Z to mate tne statement dear. The Startling Testimony. "The remarkable statements of X, Y, and Z referred to are as follows: X There is no use of mincing matters. I'll tell yon the fellow who got the $1,300 is now in this country, i gave tuo miormation 1 bad. He was hard up and threatened to expose tbe whole of Delauiater's briberies and Wallace lust chucked down the 1,300 to sbnt him up. You see, I went to Delamater and said. "You spent the money." I told tho constable, Mr. Finney, who carried the warrant lor Hoag's arrest, to give tbe warrant to Sam Hoag and fcay to him: "You had better go down to Mead villo and bavo Delamater fix this up." He went to sec Delamater. Mr. Emery Y. You got the 5700 from Wal lace Delamater, did you? Y Yes, sir; I got tbe money from George Wallace Delamater and paid it to X. X I got the money from Y, knowlngjust where it came from and what it was for. X Now, another case. To Bill Hoag, for his support, Wallace gave a letter, agreeing to pve him (Hoag) $100 help him out in his fight for Sheriff in ltS7. One day he (Delamater) met Bill and gave him 20. A considerable titno after that I told Bill that if he would give me the letter I would advance him the other 80. I got the letter and paid Bill tho EM. After tbe election I met Wallace Delamater aud said. "1 want to teeyou." We went upstairs in tbe big drinking-room (over tbe Delamater Bank), when I said. "Wallace. I advanced to Bill Hoag $80 on your letter; here is the letter; I want it back." He got up and went down to the bank, got the money and paid me the $S0 Wallace met me and said this fight and trouble bad gone on long enough, and oucht to end. I said. "Wallace, you spent 10,000 to secure your election. You bought 0 Democrats In Rockdale township, and you kno it. You'd bate been whipped n you had not used the monej." He replied: "Well, I know I would, but I bad to spend it on account of the heavy load I had to carry in Roberts." Mr. Emery You know then that Z. got this money (81,300) from George Wallace Dela mater; not from a clerk or some one else? How it Was Arranged. Y I know he got it and how he get it, for I was present when tbe arrangements were made. Delamater said: "I'll just take your note for this to fix it up, hut I'll never call upon yon to pay it" Delamater and myself were the only ones present at this arrangement. e all un derstood that it was the price of Z.'s silence upon tbe bribery that Delamater bad resorted to over the country to be elected to the Senate. X Delamater admitted to me that be bad Said Zand tbe rest of them. Why, there are nndreds of men in Crawford county whom he had bought to rote in every political fight he has been in. Some one got George Robinson to make a complaint against Sam Hoag, of which I spoke, and Delamater paid him $25 for him. When elected over Henry Church he (Delamater) secured his big majority by buying it. Mr. Emery Now, X, may be that wUl be going too far. X It won't be, Senator, because I helped him to buy them. I got a gang for him all but one. Colonel fixed him. I tll you, Mr. Emery, everythine he ever cot he bought. I think he could have been elected Mayor with out the use of a cent; but be could not have got his big majority without the liberal use of money. Bill Hoag bought Henry Baldwin for 82. He got his ticket from Hill, and it was with the money. Both were tozetuer. I posted the fellows who were bcying the votes. "The Delamater newspaper organs in this State have made light of X, Y and Z. They have cast the rhetoric ol ridicule upon Emery because of his forbearance; and even the close friends of the latter have severely criticised his silence on this all-important point. Senator Emery has legal evidence in tbe form of the personal affidavits of X and Y. The World has also secured legal evidence to substantiate the entire story, and for tbe first time the public is now made acquainted with the true inwardness of the mystery of the alphabetical strangers who have tested the curiosity of an entire State so long. The Names Disclosed. "X is ex-State Senator Homer J. Humes, who served st Harrisburg from the Fiftieth Senatorial district (Crawford county) from 1883 to 18SG. "Y is cx-Bepresentative L. C. Beach, of Meadville. who was in the Legislature for the term of 1885 8G. Z is Bobert Odell, a former journalist of Meadville, who is now a resident of a "West ern State. "The two former gave Senator Emery an affidavit attesting to the truth of what he asserts in his speech. The affidavit is now in Senator Emery's possession. The charge is openly made at Meadville that Delamater has 'influenced' the two first mentioned statesmen to avoid, so far as lies in their power, the exposure which it is in their power to make. "The wife of ex-Senator Humes is a woman of mental force and a strong sense of honesty and honor. She made a 'dead set' to silence her husband after he gave the af fidavit to Emery, and her personal solicita tion, brought to bear not only upon her husband bnt upon everybody concerned in the case, led to the suppression of the actual name ot ex-Senator Humes and the absurd X Y and Z business. About the first of September ex-Senator Humes went to Michigan and saw Odell. The latter declined to talk, and Humes' mission proved unsuccessful. Since that visit Delamater has raptured Odell and in duced him to deny in a general way the al legations. A meeting between Hume, Beach, ex-Senator Emery and Colonel Sam Dick, of Meadville, occurred at Corry early in September, and Humes and Beach exer cised their persuasive powers so powerfully that Emery, despite the fnct that he held the affidavits ot the two, yielded to their solici tations. There you have the X, 1" and Z in tbe entirety. Phillips Brooks' Protest. "An important featnre of the contest is the letter of the ecclesiastical lion of the Episcopal Church of the United States, Dr. Phillips Brooks. He was a former incum bent of a leading church at Philadelphia, and he probably possesses greater influence than any other clergyman of his denomina tion. Dr. Brooks wrote to Herbert "Welsh, Secretary of ihe Lincoln Republican Com mittee, and tbe communication is now made public for the first time. Trinity Parish. Boston, 1 September 2a. ISM. Dear Mr. Welsh As a citizen and a Re publican I am thankful to know that the Re publican citizens of Pennsvlrama Dronose to protest against Quay. If eversuch protest was Deeded it seem as if it were needed now. I cannot come to the meetimr, and indeed I think that the voices of Pennsylvania should mostly be lisafol an that occ jjtKi, but 1 bid you godspeed and shall rejoice in your nuccess. Yours most sincerely, , Phillips Brooks. This letter will be added to'the documents for circnlation over the State." THE ATTACK ON RUTAN. DELAMATER'S BRADFORD SPEECH SIZED UP BY COLONEL M'CLURE. The Candidate';: Action Described as that of a Madman The Culmination, of a Series of Blunders A Seiere Criticism of the Crawford Senator's Course. SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Philadelphia, October 1L In a lead ing editorial to-morrow thj Times will say: Senator Delamater perpetrate. I a colossal blunder when he criticised Senator Rutan in his Bradford speech. It is one of those blun ders that is generally classed as a crime that is. a blunder that was entirely needless and ab solutely irreparable, and it will be an insupera ble obstacle to baiting the present unmistak able popular tide against him. The reflection upon Rutin was as needless as it was offensive. It was tbe act of a madman, rushing into a powder magazine with a flaming torch, and the result is an explosion from Rutan that will be felt throughout the entire State. , This blunder of Senator Delamater is tbe cul mination of a scries of blunders committed by him ever since he attempted any issue with his accusers. Beginning with the awkward set-up at Chambersburg, where he broke a silence of four mouths to give an unqualified denial of Senator Emery's charges; logically following with bis pitiable pica of confe sion and avoid? ance in answ er to Hensel at R-adtng, and sup plementing that with multiplied denials, ex planations and lecal ambbles. ho finallv at tained his climax of hlunderinc campaigning by attacking the one man of all in tbe State whose silence be should have most coveted. There is Rntan's answer: there is his chal lenge, and what will Delamater do about it? ft can't be pretended that Senator Rutan could escape in any libel action on tbe plea of a '"privileged communication." He deelares to the public that Delamater's own letters are Delamatci's accusers, and how can a candidate for Governor fail to demand the prompt pub licity of tbe letters or tbe confession that they exist. It will be conceded that if there is anything in Delamater's legislative record that won't bear the light of day the man most certain to know of it is Rutan, and that fact will intensify jjuuuo interest in oDiaimng a clear insight into the truth. There will be very general anxiety to learn what answer Delamater will make to this newjand vital issue raised in the very inner citadel of his party household. In point of fact, Delamater's campaigning has greatly dwarfed him as a public leader. He loomed up creditably in the long contest for a nomina tion, but he was then stubbornly silent, bow ever accused. After his nomination he long maintained the policy of silence; too long, in deed, to make any departure an act of safety, ana when he began denials and explanations he shriveled up into littleness and has made himself weaker every day during the last month. Weak as he was when he started out in his campaign on tbe 1st of September he is vastly weaker now; what was then only demor alization of his forces has grown into disinte gration and bold revolt In every section of the State, and his wanton provocation to Rutan has brought a crushing avalancho upon him self and bis cause.

A Respectable Lodging House Keeper Now Convinced That SHE HARBOBED THE MAN OF BLOOD. Suspicions Actions and Gore-Stained Gar ments in His Boom STRENGTHEN" THE W0HJLYS BELIEF. Tbe Stringer Not Heard From Sines tie Last WliU. eispelCrme. fBT DUKLAP'S CABLE COMFAXT.l London, October 11. A sensation of the most enormous proportions has been caused here by the statement made to-day by a lodging house keeper, who is located in the "Whitechapel district. She claims, with apparent good evidence to support the claim, that it was at her house that Jack the Ripper lived during his sanguinary es capade thereabout. . The woman who keeps the house came to Mr, Albert Backert, the Chairman of tbe Vigilance Committee, and in the presence ot several witnesses told her story, and after ward swore to it. The woman, who is a re spectable person, known to the police to be quiet, and conducting a thoroughly respect able place, says that during the period marked by the distinctive murders of the Hipper, a young man called at her house and engaged a bedroom, THE STBAKOER'S STORY. He stated to her in reply to her questions as to his business and his ability to pay for the accommodations, that he had teen at sea up to the time of his coming there; that he didn't work at all, bnt was in receipt of an allowance from his father of 1 per week, and that his brother, who was a physician, gave him a further allowance of a trifle over this amount The woman noticed, when he took possession of tbe apartment, that he had a great quantity of clothing ot all kinds, including hunting breeches, also revolvers, guns and many other articles not often found in the outfit of a workingman. He asked for a door key, which was given him, and she noticed that he went out and came in at unusual and irregular hours of the night. He was in the habit of lying abed, generally nntil the afternoon, and would rise about 5 o'clock and leave tbe house. She could not say what time he re turned, because she never chanced to see him when he was re-entering the house. What first excited her suspicion that there was anything unusual about him was the bloody condition in which she often found the towels sent to his room. THE MYSTERIOUS STAINS. For this she finally spoke to the man, and remonstrated with him for soiling the arti cles in sucb a manner, and asked what could have caused such a profusion of blood as was there to be found. This direct ques tion he endeavored to explain away by say ing that he was very fond of painting, and in his preparations for those artistic mo ments he was in the habit of wiping his brushes on the towels and thereby stained them so as to gwe the impression that it was blood. Further than this, the woman states that she knows, from her own knowledge, that he sent several persons pieces of what appeared to be raw liver. r One aftcrnoohho "happened tobe-isj his room for the "purposs of attending to tome of here household duties, and tbere she saw him with a newspaper spread out upon his table, and upon it was a large piece of raw meat that she, at a distance, took io be liver. She asked him what it was and where it came from,' and he replied that it was a piece of frozen mutton that had been given him by a lrlend who was employed on a boat that came from Kew Zealand bearing a cargo of this meat. THE EXPLANATION PLAUSIBLE. The reasonable element in this, and which served to make the woman blind to what the chunks of meat might really be, lies in the fact that most of her lodgers, this young man among them, prepared their meals in their own room. Upon another occasion, somewhat later than this, she saw the man do up a piece of this meat in a small box. tie it securelv and address it to the Chairman of tbe Vigil ance Committee and leave the house with it unde.' his arm. She never saw it or tbe box afterward. Further even than this, the woman affirms that she saw the man place small bits ot flesh in envelopes, which he addressed to different news agencies and papers, and also to prominent members of the police with great apparent carefulness. He left these envelopes, and the contents in the room when he vacated it, and tbe woman, discovering them when cleaning the apartment after he had given it up, threw them into the dust bin. On two occasions he brought home with him blood-stained aprons whicn he gave to her and which she still has, and is ready to turn over to the police, believing now that they belonged to two of his victims, for now she is convinced her lodger was Jack the Hipper. She says that be always seemed to hare ample money, and spent it with a de gree ot lavlshpess not often met in that lo cality. HIS BLOOD-STAINED CLOTHING. On the morning of the Castle alley mur der, mhich was the last Jack has thus far committed, her lodger left, and has not vet returned. In addition to the envelopes that he left behind him, the woman found in his closet a pair of silent shoes, several bags and a long overcoat, all of which she asserts are bloodstained in almost every part The woman given as her reason for not speaking earlier the fact that she did not suspect the identity of the man until after he had got beyond her reach, and then she fearedto go to the police, but the secret has so weighed upon her mind that she could keep it no longer, and new she comes forward to warn others against this suspi cious lodger.

"WHY MILLS AND C0BK DECLINED. A Russian Paper's Opinion the Condition of Commerce. St. Peteesbueo, October 11. The Novotti, commenting on the decadence of the milling industry in Bussia and the decline in the price of corn in consequence of the persecution of the Hebrews, in some cases compelling the closing of the mills, says that in its opinion the expulsion of the Hebrews from districts not especially as signed to them is one of the main causes of the present critical condition of commerce.

President Carnot L vrlli pardon many of the workmen who were imprisoned for taking part in the riotous demonstrations in connection with the strikes some time ago. SOMEBODY MUST PAY TOE IT. No Decision as to Who Will Buy the Coast of Zanzibar. Berlin, October 11. It has been settled that the Sultan of Zanzibar will accept 4,000,000 marks for his cession of the coast, but it has not been decided whether the court or German East African Com pany will pay the amount. It is donbtful if the present Reichstag will sanction the payment, and the Government is reluctant to allow the company to acquire sovereign rights in the territory in question. The ne gotiations are still progressing, and a com promise will probably be arrived at, the company ceding its supreme rights to the Government in consideration of the latter raising a loan to pay the Sultan for giving permission to the company to continue operations. A statement in a London paper to the effect that the prospects in Zanzibar are gloomy, ns the trade is leaving tbe island for the German mainland ports is much commented upon here. The Colonial papers are exulting over the good bargain made in acquiring Heligoland for Zanzibar, which has become useless as a trade center. The Vossisch Zeitung thinks that England, per haps, intends to take some new step to strengthen her position in East Africa. The accouchement ot tbe Empress is ex pected in February. Many projected conrt lestivities will be abandoned. FEABS OF A SMASH-UP. General Uneasiness Prevalent on the Lon don Stock Exchange. fBT DTOLAP'S CABLE COHrAITT. London; October 11. The feeling on tbe Stock Exchange to-day is very uneasy. This morning fears of a general smash-up were entertained. It is now known that the cheques of seven members were returned to day, instead of five as was reported, though only three failures absolutely took place. Several important houses, comprising great assets, are named as in a very weak condi tion. The financial papers speak hopefully of the situation, but the street is thoroughly frightened. Affairs are critical, beyond a doubt, and it is said everywhere tha't Mon day will be a crisis. If by chance that day be passed safely, the danger will be passed. Rumors of all sorts are fiymg about, and great excitement prevails in' the city. A COMPOSER'S SEVERE LOSS. An Act of Stranss' New Opera Which. TViU Have to be Ite-Written. CBY CABLE TO THE D16r ATCU. London, October 11. Strauss has suf fered a severe loss. The third act of his new opera "Bitten Pazmau" has disappeared in a most unaccountable way. The opera was complete, and was about to be given over to the artists. The composer, before he left his country house tor town, thought he had locked it safely in a cabinet, but it can be found nowhere. Sometime ago the composer gave a heap of old manuscript to his valet to be burnt, and he now fears the third act was in that heap. As he has destaoyed his notes and has to compose the whole act over again, the first performance of the opera will have to be put off indefinitely. AN UWrOETUNATE VILLAGE.

Physicians Say That Justice Miller May Die at Any Moment. VISITS FK0M SORROWING FRIENDS. Words of 'Sympathy Sent by Harrison and f Cleveland. THE SDFPEEEE LIES IS A DEADLY SLEEP Hews of His Critical Condition Called to His DsugMer in Vienna. "Washington, October 11. At midnight Justice Miller was still alive, although the end is momentarily expected. Dr. Lincoln left the sick man's bedside at 11:30, and to those in waiting said that the end must soon come, though it was possible the Justice might live until the early morning. Mrs. Miller and her son Irvine, a lawyer of Chicago, are constantly at the bedside of the dying man, waiting with stricken hearts for the great change. TJp to 1 o'clock this morning the most serious trouble to be com batted by the physicians was the accumula tion of phlegm in the patient's throat, which, on account of the partial paralysis of the organs, could not be removed. The choking could be relieved only by raising the patient to a sitting position. This effort in every instance produced a paroxysm which was itself highly detri mental to his condition. At about 1 o'clock this morning these paroxysms ceased, and the sufferer fell into an apparently peaceful sleep, which lasted throughout the night. He now lies in a state of profound coma tose, in which he no doubt will continue to the end. SYMPATHETIC TISITOBS. Mrs. Beeves, a relative of Mrs. Miller, arrived this morning from her home in New Haven, Conn. No response to telegrams sent to Mrs. Touselin and Miss Corkhiil at Colorado Springs have been received, and fears are entertained that the telegrams may not have reached them. All of the members of the Supreme Court who are in the city have called once or oftener with their wives dnring the day. Chief Justice Fuller and Mrs. Fuller spent an hour with the family last night and again to-day. Mrs. Dimmick called on behaU of Mrs. Harrison, to inquire as to the condition of the Justice and express her sympathy. The members oi all the foreign legations now in town called during tbe morning, as did many other people of prom inence in "Washington. One hour to-day was bnt a duplication of the others at the home of Justice Miller. Inside lay the helpless victim of paralysis; outside was a stream of sympathetic callers, making inquiries as to the condition of their friend, who, they feared, was to solve ine great mystery. waiting foe the end. Judge Miller is a man of massive frame; full blooded and stout He had, dnring the last few years, often spoken to his family of his fears of a stroke of paralysis. It is said that his brothers, one or two of whom had died of paralysis, strikingly resembled him in build;-and his knowledge gained in bis eariylife by reading medicine had .made him apprehensive tnat some day he might go as they had gone. An unsigned letter to bis daughter in Vienna lies in his desk. Mrs. Miller's condition has been distress ing all day. She is completely prostrated. Chief Justice Fuller to-day received a tele gram from ex-President Cleveland expres sive of bis grief at. the newt ofJnstice Mil ler's illness. A telegram was received late this afternoon from President Harrison ex- Eresstng to Mrs. Miller his grief at her nsband's illness, and stating that if there was any hope of reaching tbe dying man's bedside before the end came he wonld at once start for Washington. An answer was returned to the effect that he would be too late. Mrs. Harrison called this evening and spent "a lew" moments with Mrs. Miller. She seemed very anxious, knowing of their mutual friendship, that the President should at once come to the bedside of his stricken friend, and left the house with the Intention of telegraphing the President to start at once.

D., who has for many years been one of the most prominent of the ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and is the present candidate ot the Prohibition party for Governor of this State, is the central figure in a very interesting case before the Tennes see Conference. Some months ago Dr. Kelly, who has always been a strong Pro hibitionist and took an active part in the canvass for tbe adoption of the proposed constitutional amendment, was nominated for Governor by the Prohibitionists. "When the conference met at Pulaski to day and Dr. Kelly's name was called his character was assailed by the Bev. C. "W. Winn. Bishop Hargrave at once proceeded to appoint a committee to investigate tbe case. The excitement rose at times to a high pitch, and it was with difficulty that the Bishop could maintain order.

The Governor'sNeglectof the Count of Paris Creates a Stir. rsPZCIAL TILEOBA1I TO TUB DISPATCH.I Biohmond, October 1L The action of the Governor in declining to go to an en tertainment given last night to the Count of Paris has made a stir in the city. The Gov ernor had a few days before the arrival of the Count, expressed himself as opposed to Virginians taking any notice of the visitor, though it seems that this opinion was not known to the gentleman who gave tbe entertainment, Colonel Archer Anderson. The tiovernor s declination was made tbe more noticeable by the fact that he promenaded with his wife in front of Colonel Anderson's residence a short time before the entertainment took place. The Connt's visit here has created some thing of a war here, anyhow. The conntry papers have pitched into Richmond for it's reception of the Count, calling it Richmond snobbery, and the city press has hastened to explain that the city has had nothing to do with it, the receptions having been given by a few individuals. The grumblers are also hauling General Joseph E. Johnston over the coals for attending the entertainment.

TELEOBAM TO TITS DISFATCH.1 "WASHINGTON, Pa., October 11. News was circulated this morning that the would be assassins of Mrs. Saunders, at Toledo, two miles from here, had been caught. De tective W. B. McBride and Frank Vander grift succeeded in running down two young fellows at the trestle in Taylorstown this afternoon, who answer to the description given by Mrs. Elizabeth Saunders of her assailants last night, Brnsh Darr, aged about 18 years, with smooth face and rather slightly built, and George E. Teatersaged about 22 years, with sandy mustache and heavy frame, are the parties arrested. Darr says he came from Cassville, "W. Va., and Teaters from "Wheeling Island. The men were brought to town late this afternoon on the Baltimore and Ohio. The news that they had been caught, spread like wildfire, aud not less than 1,000 people were in waiting at the station. The rumor became current about 3 o'clock that the officers would alight from the cars at "West Washington, and an immense crowd had congregated there to see them. They were disappointed, however, for the officers un loaded the frightened young fellows at Main street. They proceeded up that "thorough fare, followed receded by an immense crowd that ,f ' ize as the jail was Bearea. jtjeiv (tjt ".")

' A. Hundreds congregated about the pr. ;rs, crying: "There they are, they onghrto be strung up," and other disagreeable ex pressions to the frightened prisoners. The officers say they had an exciting chase of seven miles after their prisoners, and tracked them across the country from Thomas Allison's farm to Taylorstown.' The course taken by the prisoners was a roundabout one, as they did not seem to have any destination in view, and it is thought they were preparing for an attack on some one to-night. District Attorney Parker will ferret out all the evidence possi ble, and it is said the fellows will have a hard row to hoe. Mrs. Saunders is con scious. Darr and Teaters were taken to the home of Mrs. Saunders, west of town, this evening by Sheriff Lockhart and his deputies. Mrs. Saunders said she thought they were the guiltjr parties, and when she saw the pecnliar walk of Darr, she wad positive of the fact. The little yellow dog was not identified, bnt will be well taken care ot until after the hearing. The police are now searching for the third member of the party, who is supposed to be in Canons burg. A dispatch from wheeling says the police this evening arrested William Monroe, Joseph Bice and James Mack at Elm Grove onboard a Baltimore and Ohio freight train, on suspicion that at least one of them was concerned in the shooting of Mrs. Saunders, at Washington, last night. None of them could give a satisfactory account of their whereabouts yesterday, and in the absence of a complete description of the murderers, they were held. A Washington officer will be there to-night. George E. Teeters, one of the men in jail here, is very well known at Wheeling. He is a ne'er "do well, but has no criminal record. PBI5T CLOTH CUBTALLED. Much of the Output for a Week Taken From the Market. Fall Biteb, October 1L The print cloth production of this city has been cur tailed 90,000 pieces during the week, thus taking two-thirds of the entire print cloth output for six days from the market The result of the curtailment has not been en tirely satisfactory. While it has in a meas ure prevented an accumulation of cloth, the stock has nevertheless increased, and there has been litttle demand for 6Mx4's squares. A third stop of a week is being discussed, and there is nothing in fnture engagements which would interfere with the movement. It is doubtful, however, if agents can be in duced to sign another agreement. ( NOT GUILTY OF TBAIN WBECKT5G. John Kiernan, Accused of Obstructing Tracks, is Discharged. Tr.OT, October 11. Justice Grogan, of "West Troy, this morning discharged John Kiernan, charged with placing obstructions on the Central Hudson Bailroad near Kar ners August 29. The Court held that there was no evidence before him that a crime had been committed, and even bad the con fession of Thomas Cain, Kiernan's alleged accomplice, been admitted it would not have been sufficient. The motion made by Kiernan's counsel to assistant superintendent of the Central HudsoD, Mohawk division, for perjury was denied. Mr. Harrington made the com plaint against Kiernan.

NATURAL GAS Oil TOP, Its Value and Uses Pleased and Surprised Pittsburg's Guests More Than ANYTHING THEY EVER SAW. Some of Them Temper Their Praisa With Well-Meant Criticism. 0HB MORE DAT OF EXCURSIONS. Trip3 to the Coka Eegions and the Alle gheny Eiver 31ills. DISTINGUISHED GUESTS LEAVE TO-DAI Every pleasure has its aftermath; every degree of "unusnalness" its moderating conditions. The "unusnalness" in this case is the visit of the foreign metallurgists, and the moderating conditions, the honest and outspoken criticisms and opinions of the visitors on what tbey saw and didn't see in the course of their expeditions among Pittsburg's industrial establishments. The distinguished representatives of the world's iron and steel interest who have been here for the past three days, take up the thread of their travels to-night, and em bark for Chicago. It will be interesting to see just what impressions were left upon the minds of the visitors by their acquain tance with methods of manufacture and their treatment in this neck o' the woods. The visitors were surprised, and at three things. At the rapid development of manu factures of all kinds within a very short time; at the volume and effectiveness of 3nd results obtained from natural gas; and lastly, at the "Ia:jh hospitality." as they were pleased to term it, of Pittsburg's people. They were unprepared for the ex tent of trade carried on here, and marveled very much that the Sheffield of America, as they dnb Pittsburg, should have obtained such a pre-eminence in the metallurgical world in so few years. ' NATURAL GAS AN EYE-OPENER. Natural gas was to them an experience as novel as it was unlooked for. They had heard of "natural gas," of course, but only to associate it with the gas generated from coal in mines. They had a vague notion that holes were bored into the mines or into the contiguous gas-bearing strata, and tha flnid pumped into mains and forced to the distributing points. But their experience on the river Friday night, when the splendid display at Hays station was shown them, and nature's fnel flowed out with a deafen ing roar, to burst into flame, whose heat was plainly felt in the boat amid stream, afforded them a proper appreciation of its value, use and origin. Its effect in boiling iron and melting was carefully inquired into, and some of ths English iron masters declared with em phasis that it made a heat so strong, so clear and so pnre as to be to them a revela tion in iron making. The visitors were candid in acknowledging that they had neither expected nor anticipated such a wel coming or display of open-handed hospi tality as that with which they had been made acquainted. They said that their visit here, notwithstanding the crowded condition of the hotels, was one of the great est pleasure and most enjoyable they had yet made in the country. Prominence has been given to their views favorable to the city so that their criticisms may have the greater weight Let it be candidly said at once that the Englishmen learned nothing new while with us; that is, in tbe direction of tbe conversion and manu facture of iron and steel. WHAT WAS OBSERVED BY STRANGERS. "What they saw here of steel and iron making plants they had seen sometimes on a larger scale in their own country. But they also had seen rails, plates and bar iron made with less waste of material than here; workmeaJess driven and emploved in fewer numbers for certain classes of work than in the Pittsburg mills, and more skill dis played in handling the appliances used in iron and steel making than they saw here. On tbe principle of ex uno disee omnes, let Mr. James Allan, of the Victoria Tube "Works, Coatbridge, voice the general senti ment in this latter regard. Mr. Allan is a practical, keea-witted, shrewd ironmafcer, and when asked to relate bis impressions of out with characteristic Scotch bluntness. "The only thing," said he, "you are ahead of us in is in your blast furnaces. You cannot get too much credit for the way you make them turn out stuff. But in your rolling mills you are, if anything, a little behind. I con't mean in your facili ties for doing work there I have little to find fault with, as a general rule but ia the way you make your iron. Yon make too much waste. I noticed in the rail mill at Braddock that the rails were rolled ont into lengths much longer than was neces sary to mate the two 30-loot rails, and that the ends cnt off ran from different lengths, and weremnch too long. That was a source of waste that I thought might be remedied. In tbe plate mill at Homestead thh ends cut off by the shears were very wasteful, and did not exhibit a nice calcu lation of the size of tbe bloom necessary td mase a piate oi ine size A saw cut. MORE WASTE THAN IN SCOTLAND. ''I was in a bar mill over beyond tha river, which if it was in Scotland, wonld not ran three minutes. There was ths greatest waste I ever saw in a bar mill, and enough to break any man. I thought that the appliances were not np to the needs or the science, and could have suggested whero a saving would be effected, bnt didn't think it wonld quite do to make any comments. "In Park Brothers mill I remarked some things that would not be allowed in an English or Scotch mill. I found there men who were being driven in such a way as I would not permit ia my mill, and I was surprised tbat they stood it. I noticed men at a mill try ing to pass a bloom through the rolls. It jammed, and then tbey actually commenced to ram it with a bar and hammer it with a sledge to try to get it in place. I know that our men would not stand having to do such work as that. In this mill, and in others also, I found more men engaged around the mills than were necessary to do tbe work. Here was an outlay that might easily be dispensed with. "I took particular pains to examine into tbe result of melting by natural gas. I looKea into several furnaces ana found a stronger, cleaner and purer heat beingmade than I ever saw in my life before. I was not prepared for sueh a grand result and I was neither prepared for the reception we have received at the hands of your people, which was much greater and warmer than we looked for."
