DEI.AMATER REFUSES TO DEBATE rrr.OM a staff conitEsrONDEXT.1 Bctt-kk, October 17. Butier gave ex Senator Emery a warm reception this even ing, filling the Opera House to overflowing. There was a brass band, procession, a great deal oi red fire, roman candles and sky rockets and what was more to the purpose, much thoughtful discussion. The DisrATCH instructed me to get here in advance of the speaker and set the drift of public sentiment. I arrived early to-day and found the town in first-class condition for mud slinging, as all the streets are abont "two feet deep with a very tenacious mixture. Much interest was manifested in the coming meeting, which wasa favorite topic of discussion on the streets, in the hotels, iu the stores, offices and rverywhere. That there is a pathetic feeling among Republic ans here cannot be denied, but the extent of the actual bolt is KCrCHLICAKS vcos't talk. The most noticeable feature of the situa tion is the number of reporters who will not talk The Democrats talk freely and the members of the Independent .Republican organizations are not close-mouthed, but a large .umber of those who usually vote the R-oublican ticket are silent. All the campaign committees are work ing earnestly. In the old parties the work is methodical and systematic The Inde pendents are earnest, hut show inexperience in campaign work. They know wh.it they want, bnt don't know much about running political machinery. I secured expressions from the County Chairmen on the situation and estimates on the result as follows: S. H. HuseltoD, Chairman of the Repub lican Counvy Committee, said: "There are 5.C0O Republican votes in this county. Dclamater will get at least 5,200 of these votes in spite of all the mnd slinging and personal campaigning. "We will carry the county ova majority of 300 to 600 votes. The effect of this meeting is to makeDcla ma'er votes. The speeches have been good ones for our side. Three-fourths of the audience were Democrats, five-sixths of the other fourth Delamater Republicans and the remainder were Mugwumps and kickers." ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRATS. Charles Heincman, Chairman Democratic County Committee, remarked: The De mocracy is enthusiastic and the full vote will be out. The Republicans ore not heartily in favor of Delamater. There is great defection. In 1688 Harrison carried this borough by 35 majority, and the county by 1,300. We will carry the borough for rattiion, and will reduce the majority in the county at least 1,000 below that of 1S8S." .1. K. Forsyth, Chairman ot the Inde pendent Republican County Committee, stated: "Wo will ge. Pattison a majority of 500 in this county. We have over 100 Independent Republicans in this borough and it onlv went for Harrison by about 30." Dr. J.N. Bolard said: "I'm for l'.it tison. I live in Mcadville. Delamater will lose Crawford county. I am here most of the time and the defection in this county is large. I am tired ot bossism and Quay ism. Pattison was a good Governor. Heis a clean, honest man and I think the people should elect him." PATTISON THE BEST. Ex-Senator Meredith, of Kittanning, commented as follows: "I say Patti son was the best Governor this State has had for -5 Years, and I do not care who hears me say it." C Abrams: "I will vote for Delamater, but am not much interested in the result. Pattison is an able man. There are a grea. many kickers in this county, among the oil men principally." J. D. Mc.Iunkin: "I'm not in politics, and am not talking this year." R. H. Ferguson: "The outlook is good for Pattison. It is hard to estimate Re publican defection, as a great many peo ple will not talk. We hope lo- a Pattison majority in the county. I am a Repub lican." A well-known gentleman from Armstrong county, a Republican who refnsed the use ot his name, said both Butler and Arm strong would go for Pattison. A great many others werr seen, but they would not speak for publication They would give iheir private opinions. In examining the total 1 should say more than hall the Re publican oi! men and oil well workers will cither vote for Pattison or stay at home. EMERY HEARTILY RECEIVED. Ex-Senator Emery arrived at 6:30 this evening with his private secretary, E. C. Jones, they having traveled all night and nil day to get here from Blossburg Emery was heartily received and compelled to hold pn impromptu reception in the lobby of the lion ery House before he could ge: to his tupper. The Independent Republican meeting in the Opera Hou-c was nrsranized by the an nouticczzeni of the following officers: Pres ident, R. li. Ferxusoii; Vice Presidents, W. A. Stieu. Dr. J X. Bolard, C. D. Greenlee. O. M. Rns-ell, L. D. Pcrrin, W. A. Clark, .Toun li. Campbell, Peter Christie, Theo dore Vogcley, Kennedy Marshall, J. W. Starr, Clarence Walker, Michael Ren no, George McCandless, P B. Crosby, W. "Walker. Charles Hazlett, Albert Ruff, P. II. BurchSeid and D. B. Campbell. N. G. Ayres, of Pitl&burg, was the first ipeaker. He said it was a Republican meeting and the organs which had untruth fully said that an enthusiastic Republican meeting had greeted Delamater here could truthfully say the same thing about this meeting. He told ot "a Republican in Allegheny county who had said Emery was a liar and if he had him there he'd lick him." QUAT ASD THE STAXDABD. If this man was controlled with Emery and attempted lo carry out that threat "he'd pet licked," cried a voice from the audience. Reference to the Republican detection in Allegheny county elicited yells of "Hurrah for Pittsburg." Reference to Delamater as the creature of M. S. Quay and the Standard Oil Company moved the audience to lively demonstrations. "Would you want this man to go higher?" asked the speaker. "No, no, nol" yelled the crowd. Mr. Ayres referred to Pattison as a Republican candidate and the suggestion was received with cheers. "Mr. Quay," he said, "pro posed to appoint our district attorneys, congressmen and governors, if the people were satisfied." There followed a chorns of "I'm not, nor I." Mr. Ayres speech was well received throughout and liberally ap plauded. At the conclusion he presented iipn. jjouis bmeiy, or. jpiu iiuuit uuicjy, or. I Mr. Emery was received with -vociferous I AROUS MERY cheering, and greeted the crowd familiarly. He said they were evidently oil men. They whooped like they did 26 years ago. He recognized many of them. 'He had begun life in the oil country 26 years ago, dressing tools on Oil Creek, and had learned to know many of them since. OIL SIEK NOT FORGOTTEN. The speaker referred to his ten years' service in the Legislature at Harrisbnrg,and said no man could sav.he had ever forgotten the interests ot the oil producers. This was greeted with loud cheering. The lono Pittsburg and Philadelphia organs might go on vilifying his personal character, but no man could trutiilully say he had ever done a wrong action in his political or busi ness life. Emery declared that he never was satis fied that Delamater was the choice of the Republicans of the State for their candi dacy for Governor. He was surprised at the feeling in Tiog'a county, where he had been. There had been no speaking there, but there was a tremendous revolt agiinst the boss candidate. Referring to the affairs of the State as purely business- matters, he declared they should be administered as such by men who would serve the people. He declared lfjthe Republicans did not defeat Delamater this year they would have to carry the fight into the campaign ot 1892, and then they would be lost. THE TREE PIPE LINE. The speaker then proceeded with a his tory of the futile efforts of the people of the oil country to get a free pipe line bill passed until a Democratic House, elected with Pattison in 18S2, passed it, and the Demo crats in the Senate, with Lee, John Stewart, Watres and Meredith, on the Republican side, pissed it in the Senate for Governor Pattisou to sign it. He next referred to anti-discrimination being still a dead letter in the Constitution for the bosses and the corporation. The failure to pass a free pipe bill and the continuance of the shame less discrimation of the railroads hid en grafted the Standard Oil Company firmly on the country for the oppression of the producers. The lost revenue bill got a touch and then theBillingsley billjand Delamater's part in defeating it. Grange bill No. 10, he said, had lain iu committee until Brown, of York, moved tor its release. He was de feated, and the bill stayed in committee. Delamater, who was Chairman of that com mittee, had been telling the farmers he had voted in committee to report that bill. DELAMATER ARRAIGNED. Brown's motion had received 25 votes in the Senate. If Delamater favored the bill in committee, he "wondered why in heaven's name he hadn't given the one vote necessary in the Senate to bring the bill out." Mr. Delamater, Emery said, was chargeable with the defeat ot that bill. Mr. Emery de clared himself a Republican. He had cast his first vote for Lincoln and had not broken his record by voting for a Democrat, but would break it this year and vote for Robert E. Pattison. This elicited tremendous cheering. The speaker then took up his charges against Delamater. He read the report of the detective read at Brad lord, supplying the name of Charles Laufear, of Townville. He then said be would receive the statement ofY. "Yon have heard of X. Y. Z." This was again the cause for cheering and laughter. He iaid Y. wax Hon. L. E. Beach, ot Mcadville. Delamater had wanted to know who Y. was. He (Dela mater), could not come out of his house in Meadville and go up town without passing Mr. Beach's offic, and he bad known all along who Y. was. MONET PAID TO X. X, Emery said, was ex-Senator Homer J. Homes, of Crawford county, and Z was Mr. Odell. Lest bis audience should judge Mr. Humes harshly, he would state that Humes had been a candidate for re-election on the Democratic ticket and was defeated. He had learned of Delamater's corrupt methods. Beach had offered him. the 5700, which was the amount of his campaign ex penses, tokeephim from exposing Delamater. He had said it was Delamater's money and ne beggea uumes not to smirch his char acter. The affidavits produced at Bradford were reproduced and thrown on to the screen at thejiack ot the stage, and the statements of X, x and Z, or Humes, Beach and O'Dell, were read. This part of the speech was fre quently applauded. 'Emery promises fur ther disclosures and new material for his meeting in Pittsburg to-morrow high . CRUM. LEA TO PATTERSON. DELAMATER'S DEFENDER RECEIVES A LIVELY TROUNCING. The Crawford Candidate Should .Not Hide Behind Legal Technicalities The Les ions of the Campaign for the Nomina tion. :SFrCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DtRPATCH.! Philadelphia, October 17. Henry C. Lei has addressed an Open letter to C. Stuart Patterson in answer to Patterson's recent open letter addressed to Lea defend ing Delamate from the charge of being the candidate of Senator Quay. In the course of his letter Mr. Lea says: You deny that Mr. Delamater is the hench man nt Mr. Quay, and that his candidacy has been forced npon the Republican voters. Let me briefly recall to you the assertions so long and so publicly made and never. I believe, de nied, that abont two years ago Mr. Quay prom ised him the next Governorship an return for certain services surmised to be of a peculiar nature. Let me recall to you the manner in which Mr. Cooper was ousted from the Cbair- mansnip oi tne state committee in favor of Mr. Andrews, and the still bunt which tbe lat ter forthwith instituted tor the benefit of Mr. Delamater a still hunt exemplined by tbe manner in which they obtained the delegates from Cambria county. Let me remind you of the fact patent to all men that no one could se cure tbe nomination without tbe aid of tbe Re publican machine under tbe control of .Mr. Quav. To deny that Mr. Delamater is the can didate and representative of Quaylsm and that Mr. Quay's influence and peculiar methods have been freely used to secure his nomination must raise a smile on the cheek of every man Inside politics. Mr. Emery, on the other hand, has personally made tbe most damaging' specific accusations acalnst Mr. Delamater, charging him with bribery and perjury and falsifying a public document, giving facts and dates and promis ing to make good his assertions before a jury if Mr. Delamater will give him the opportunity. If Mr. Delamater's good name is as dear to him as you say it is and if he is conscious of inno cence, it is not a friendly service to justify him for skulking behind tbe presumed uncertain ties of the law and decliuing this challenge from a man who is his peer in every respect. Xou know as well as I do that any technical de fense set up by Mr. Emery would be a victory for Mr. Delamater. while the opinion of all un biased persons must be that snch a course as Mr. Delamater's can only be dictated 'by dread to face the evidence in tbe hands of Mr. Emery. You will scarce wonder, I am sure, if I repeat that I fail to conjecture the mental process by which any self-respecting citizen can justify to himself a vote for Mr. Delamater. I feel quite sure that tbe time will come when you will agree with me. CONFERENCE CALLED.

It was barely 9 o'clock this morning when the special car containing Senator Delamater and his cam paigning party pulled up at the pretty mountain town of Montrose, in Susque hanna county, but there was a goodly crowd in waiting and a procession was at once formed, and under the escort of 100 mounted men the tourisU were marched to the center of the towu.

DELAMATER WON'T DEBATS Because Andrews Says Pattison Indulges in Abuse. rSFECIAX. TELEGKAU TO TUE PlsrATCII.l Philadelphia. October 17. Ex-G.-v-ernor Pattison and Senate- Delamater, the rival candidates for Governor, will be in Carlisle, Cumberland connty, at the same hour on next Friday, the 21th, and Chair man Kerr, of the Democratic State Com mittee, anxious to have both candidates speak from the same platform, directed the Chairman of the (Democratic County Com mittee to ask the Chairman of the Repub lican County Committee to agree to have both candidates address the people of Car lisle from the same platrorm. The Chair man of the Republican County Committee to-night wired the following to- Chairman Andrews, of the Republican State Com mittee, in order to know how to proceed: At the Instance of Chairman Kerr, the coun ty Chairman has publicly challenged us to have a joint meeting and joint debate on tbe 24th, both Gubernatorial candidates being here at tbe same hour. What shall I say? Chairman Andrews, iu response to Coun ty Chairman Adams' request, sent the fol lowing answer to-night by wire: As ex-Governor Pattison has been aiding and abetting a campaign of personal slander and abuse against the Republican State ticket and other Republican leaders of the State, and has refused to conduct the campaign upon tbe grave national and State issues involved, you will please decline the invitation for a joint de bate. As Mr. Pattison recognized no issues, it would be useless to meet bim upon topics which tbe Republican candidates discuss and which he ignores. The Republican campaign cannot be allowed to degenerate into one of personal slander and aoase. CARNEY GETTING EVEN. The Miner Refnsed a Pardon by Pattison on the Warpath. 1KFECXU. TELEOBAM TO THE DISrATCILI Scottdale, October 17.

The Senatorial Fight at Franklin Hope lessly Tangled. rSFECIAL TELEOKAM TO THE DISrATCS.1 Fbanklin, Pa., October 17. The fight for tbe Senatorial nomination in this dis trict seems hopelessly tangled. The con vention met in this city to-day and ad journed without doing anything, and the prospect of there being two Republican can didates teem good. Every plan yet tried to effect a nomina tion has failed, and Doth Mr. Allen, of Warren, and Mr. Crawford, of Venango, seem determined to stick.

Dr. Teaser, the Prosecution's Medical "Wit ness, Slightly Tangle-l. Cbatvfobdsyille, Lvd., October 17. Dr. Yeager, Mrs. Pettit's attending physi cian, occupied the witness stand all day. He stated that she died of strychnine poisoning, and after three or mire doses. On cross-examination, he testified of Pettit's seeming affection for his wife and kindly attention during her last illness. He said he suspected strychnine poisoning irom the first, and treated for it De Hart, of the de'ense, then read a letter of Xeager's to Mrs. Pettit's relatives in New York, and his death report to the Board ol Health. Both of these state that Mrs. Pettit died of congestive chills and acute malarial poison ing, the former document declaring that the declaration was made in the interest of justice and humanity. De Hart then asked the witness why he had made these statements a month alter her death it he had suspected and treated her for malarial poisoning. Witness rose in his chair and dramatically declared that he had acted to the best of his judgment; was not positive of poisoning; was in close re lation with Pettit, his pastor, whom be would not believe guilty o crime: wished to hush gossip already iifloat, and quiet fears of relatives in New York. Dr. Yeager could not state why he had not men tioned bis suspicions of poison to Dr. Black, the consulting physician, or told that he had treated lor strychnine from the first. The defense made much of this point, and from, this time carried on a farcical examina tion for over an hour to tangle the witness. They did so to some extent, but no great ad vantage was gained for the defense.

Chicago Will Not be Its Permanent Head quarters Hereafter. Philadelphia, October 17. At the ses sion of the convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew to-day, the convention went into conference on the subject o! "Laymen in the Community." Rev. John Williams, of St. Louis, impressed on the conference the fact that as a member of the brotherhood be laid aside his garb of priest and went lorth as a layman to act and speak as God saw fit to direct him. H. A. Sill, of New York, char acterized the work oi the St. Andrew's Brotherhood as evangelical. It was all church work. He thought the administer ing of a sacrament was just as evangelical as leading a prayer meeting. After lurther discussion- the convention went into the regular business session. A letter was read from Bishop Tattle, of St. Louis, inviting the brotherhood to hold' tbe next annual convention in that city. A resolution designating St. Louis as tbe next meeting place was referred to tbe Committee on Resolutions. The remainder of the ses sion was taken up with the discussion of a proposed amendment to the constitution, striking' out part of a section in which Chicago was named as the permanent head quarters of the brotherhood. The amend' meat was finally carried and the convention adjourned. Bargains in Capes. Real seal plush capes f3 25- worth (6, at Rosenbaum & Coa. THE PETERS FAILURE. FAR-REACHING EFFECTS ON BUSINESS IN THREE STATES. Over 300 Concerns, Large and Small, Said to be Affected by the Catastrophe It Starts a Run on a Solid Grand Bapids Bank Already In the Courts. Chicago, October 17. The Union Na tional Rank begun an attachment suit to day against the Peters Salt and Lumber Company, of Manistee, Mich., which failed yesterday. Attachments were levied on several surplus securities held by the Com mercial and American Exchange National Banks in this city. Tbe Commercial and American Exchange both hold consid erable amounts of Peters' paper, but their officers sav that they are secured by collateral good for tbe amounts several times over. The Conti nental National Rank holds 25,000 of the failed firm's paper. Its officers say it is perfectly secured by indorsements by sol vent firms. In addition to this are large quantities of Peters' paper afloat in private hands in this city. It Is announced that Mr. Peters has sold his interest in the Higbee & Peters Lumber Company; to Pardee, Cook & Co. Private advices received here to-day from Manistee are to the effect that the Manistee Rank and the Butters & Peters Salt Com pany will pull out all right. There are rumors in regard to the effect of the Peters' failure on one or two firms in this ,city, but thus far no failure here has been announced. It is preJieted in financial circles in this city that at least 200 concerns, Urge and small, mostly in Michigan and Wisconsin, will be affected by the Peters failure. A dispatch from Grand Rapids, Mich., says: R. G. Peters' big failure continues to be the principal topic on the streets. The exciting rumors of the insolvency of the Fifth National Bank caused a big run on that institution this morning, and a large crowd of anxious and worried depositors collected at the windows. Money was paia out as fast as called for, and the directors assured everyone that all their money in the bank was safe. A dispatch from Montgomery, Ala., says: Information is received here of the assign ment of the Peters Lumber Company at Alco, below Rrewton. The failure, it is stated, was caused by the failure of R. G. Peters, of Manistee, Mich. The Peters Lumber Company was the largest lumber manufacturing company iu Alabama, if not in the yellow pine territory. A suit was brought at Chicago this after noon byS. M. Millard against Peters and Kinley Morrison, of Menominee, Mich. The claim is for $10,000, based on two prom issory notes. SOMETHING HEW IN ELECTRICITY. New Street Car Motor Patented by Detroit and Chicago Parties. Detroit, October 17. Great interest is felt here aud in every city in this country in the various devices for successfully apply ing electricity to street cars .as a motive power, and it is believed that the vexed question has, in a measure at least, been solved. A number ol promineut Chicago and Detroit capitalists and electricians have associated themselves together to introduce the electric btrcet railroad inventions of Frank B. Rae, of Chicago, who has been devoting the past two years at the Detroit Electrical Works, in perfecting the present system of electric rail road propulsion. He has produced an en tirely new and novel electric street railroad motor, enabling any sized car to be run with one motor instead of two, reducing the cost of maintenance and repairs onc-half, and doing away with all noise and the profuse use of oil, which are now the chief objec tions the other electric motors. This system consists of one motor from 30 to CO-horse power, hung in the middle of the truck, and geared by a countcrshait to both axles, enabling a much larger line and stronger working parts to be put in, reducing the revolutions, and by this, and a patent gearing, doing away with many objection able features. They have also secured a patent truck, which is a radical change on existing methods, being entire roads rigged on the same principle as the steam loco motive, and obviating in tbe oscilliatiug motion heretofore observed on cars propelled by electricity.

IXPIATED HI3 CRIME. Execution of James MaxweU for a Murder Committed in Illinois. Morris, III., October 17. James Max well, alias Murray, was hanged at 9:57 o'clock this morning for tbe murder of Charles Decker. His neck was broken by the fall and death was instantaneous. On the night of June 25 last the house of Charles Decker, of this place, was entered by two men for the purpose of robbery. Decker, a man abont 50 years old, was aroused and met the ma rauders in the hallway. One ot them beat him over the head with a hatchet, fracturing his skull and indicting other injuries, from the combined effects of which he died. His assailants left bim lying on the floor and en tered another apartment, where they were met by Mrs. Decker, the mother of their victim. She was knocked down and ren dered insensible by a blow from the hatchet that had killed her son. The murderers then ransacked the house, but an alarm had been given by a servant of the family, and they fled without securing auy plunder. A partv ol citizens searched the country about the village and in two hours had run Maxwell down aud arrested him. The following day a negro named Fitzhugh was also arrested. Enough evidence was ob tained against the pair to make their guilt a matter of little doubt, and the prisoners narrowly escaped lynching. Fitzhugh con fessed the crime, but Maxwell clung to bis story of innocence until confronted in the jail by his accomplice. Then he broke down and made a confession.

NO LACK OF WATER For the Proposed Ship Canal From Pittsburg to Lake Erie. A SUPPLY ENTIRELY SUFFICIENT Can be Easily Secured at AH Times, Ac cording to a Careful INVESTIGATION BI TUB ENGINEERS. Tie BiTiag is I rtightEits Wlkh Will bs Effected by tie Scbpae. Interest in the proposed Ohio river and Lake Erie canal is increasing in this sec tion as the work of the commission prog resses and the feasibility and desirability ol the project become better understood. That the project is feasible there can be no doubt. Doubt that was expressed about the water supply at the summit is set at rest by tbe investigations of the engineers on the commission, Colonel Roberts and Mr. Goodwin. They find a supply of at least 17,000,000 enbic feet a day available without touching tbe water supply of the Allegheny river, which they are loth to do. If it were at any time neces sary, however, Conneaut Lake could be drawn on for an additional supply of 15, 000,000 cubic feet daily. In fact, tbe waters of the Allegheny river above Tidioute, and of Oil creek above Titusville, could be made available. It is not remotely probable that this supply will ever be needed. AN IMPORTANT STREAM. The low water supply of French creek is found, by gauge, to be greater than that of the Clarion, Red Bank and Eiskiminetas rivers combined. Ot course, it is not meant by this that more water flow's through French creek the year around than through the streams named, for during their flood periods the lower streams discharge enor mous quantities of water. Freuch creek rises in the swampy belt running through from Eastern Ohio to Alle ghany county, N. Y., embracing Chautau qua Lake, Conneaut and Conneuatee, as well as minor accumulations of water. This swampy region is tl.e flat summit be tween the great lake basin and the Ohio river. It conserves the water supply ad mirably, holding its rainfall long alter the steep rivers heading toward the mountains have discharged their supply iu floods. For this reason this region offers an ample sup ply of water for the canal at all seasons of the year when it would be free from ice. The proposed route of the canal is through the great ?ymatuning swamp, near the State line between Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the summit level is 21 miles long, while the first lock on this side will cover a dis tance of 12 miles f.irther. The new route is 30 miles shorter than the old canal, though from Sharpsville to Beaver it follows the river as the old one did. The chief advan tage of the new route over the old is that while the latter required 133 locks and a lockage raise of 920 feet, the former will only require 0 locks and a lockage of not quite 786 feet. TO THE DAVIS ISLAND DAM. Calculations by the commission have been for a canal 12 feet deep to carry vessels ot 1,500 or 1,600 tons burden. It is proposed to continue the canal from Beaver to the Davis Island dam, as tbe movable dams to be placed in tbe Ohio between the Davis Island dam and Beaver will not give a sufficient depth of water to float such heavy craft as is provided for in the canal plans. One ot tbe marked advantages of the proposed canal is tbe clearness of the water supplied from the flat summit. The streams fed Irom the great Fymatuning swamp carry very little silt. The ad vantage of this feature is best understood by those familiar with canals and slackwater improvements, but may be easily grasped by anyone who will stop to consider that there would be comparatively little trouble in clearing away the deposit from the bed of tbe canal, while with muddy water the labor of removing tbe sediment would be constant. Carelul account has been taken of the rail road crossings where drawbridges will be necessary and the commission has selected a route requiring tbe fewest possible num ber of these. There will have to be some, of course, but they need occasion very little inconvenience to the railroads. Anyone familiar with tbe handling of these bridges at any of the lake ports may know that is no serious feature. There will not be a con stant procession of boats, by any means, not nearly ns many as navigate tbe canals of the lake ports, where so many small vessels are going in and out. SAVINGS OF THE CANAL. At present the railroads handle about 5,000,000 tons of heavy freight between Pittsburg aud the lakes, principally coal, coke and iron ore. This would be increased with the canal, but is not hard to compute how many vessels would be required in this transportation. They would not keep the drawbridges open any considerable part of the time, or exhaust the water supply lock ing them through. It is estimated tbe canal would save 50 cents a ton on this freicht at least, which, divided between producer and consumer, would add very materially to the prosperity of the regions affected. Twenty-five cents a ton on the winter's coal means 'something to the dweller by the lake, where the raw winds whistle through bis pocketbook as well as his whiskers, and it means some thing to the Lake Superior oredigger when added to his wages as well atibtracted from his fuel bill.

They Fire on a Posse Citizens Shot In Cold Blood One of the Villains Bites the Dust The People in Pursuit. .SrJCCIAI, TXLEOKAU TO THE DISfATCH.1 Lima, October 17. An organized gang of robbers made a raid on Ohio City, 20 miles west of this city, on the Chicago and Erie road, this morning. They went through a number of houses, and about 3 A. M. were detected in the act of blowing open the safe in F. M. Hall's store. The alarm was given and a posse of citizens or ganized. The building was surrounded while the robbers were at work on the safe and preparations made for their capture. In the meantime the robbers discovered that they had been detected and commenced to fortify themselves. "When the posse closed in on them they opened fire on them. This was the tart of a fierce battle, and for folly 10 minutes a rapid exchange of shots was indulged in. While therobbers' guard held the mob in check, their accomplices were bnsily engaged in drilling into the safe. While the battle was going on the safe was blown open and the contents extracted. The robbers then beat a retreat, but not until one of their num ber, whose remains have not yet been identified, was killed, and Charles Hover and William Plaze, who were mem bers of the posse, were also killed and sev eral wounded. The posse gave chase, but tbe robbers made their escape. Ilover and Plaze were business men in the town, married and leave families. Two of the robbers were identified as William Mohrhouse and Morril Kuhn, two notorions and desperate characters noon whose heads rewards are now standing for crimes, ranging from robbery to murder. The posse is now in pursuit of them, and every effort will be made to overtake them. All the money tbe robbers secured was 8215. Hall yes terday received $5,000 for some real estate and it was this that the robbers were after. Hall had, however, deposited the money in the bank.

They Inspect Processes of Mining Coal and Iron at Birmingham. Birmingham, Ala., October 17. Three hundred and twenty foreign metallurgists arrived here at 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing, direct' from Chicago. At 8 o'clock they were met by the local Reception Com mittee, and at 9 o'clock a special train carried them to the coal and ore mines. The visitors inspected things very carefully. They went down in the coal mines and watched the process of mining iron ore, by simply digging it from the side of a mountain, with evident interest. The visitors could scarcely credit the statements of the low cost of making iron here. With their reception, the visitors ex pressed themselves as much pleased, es pecially the German contingent. The Ger mans say this is the first place in America to. pay them suecial attention. Last night the visitors were given a reception bv the leading social club. Sir James Kitson and other distinguished members of tbe party replied to the addresses of welcome. To-day the iron furnaces and other indus tries were visited, aud the visitors will leave the city to-night. SHIPWRECK AT THE AHTIP0DES. A New Drnnswiclc Vessel Wrecked In Chinese Waters.

Antonio Scaf&di, identified as one of the assassins of Chief Hennessey, was shot and mortally wounded at 2:43 o'clock to-day, in the Parish prison, by Thomas H. Duffy, a young man 28 years of age. The shooting was done in tbe corridor of the prison build ing, and Duffy's actions were so qnick that several deputies who were present knew nothing of what was happening until the shot was fired. Duffy, wbo is a brother of Prof. Duffy, the boxing instructor ot the Southern Ath letic Club, is a very unassuming young man, and has been connected with the various newspapers of this city in the car riers' department. He is at present em ployed in the'office of the Spirit of the South, which papers he gave out to tbe newsboys and carriers. He resides at 19 St. Lonis street, and has been a frequent visitorjat the parish prison to see some friends who were incarcerated there. He was always quiet and acted in a peaceable manner when ever he visited the institution, and it was this faet that threw the deputies off their guard for the time being. DUFFT ESTERS THE PBISOIT. At 11:45 o'clock thismotning he appeared at the outside gate and was admitted by Deputy Sheriff Fortier. Ddffy informed Deputy Sheriff O. S. Andry that he called lor the purpose of seeing one of the "dagoes" Arrested for the assassination ot Chief Hen nessey, as he believed that he was able to identify him. He asked for Scaffidi. Presently Scaffidi came down, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Tim Dwyer. The Italian shuffled along the corridor until he reached the inside gate, when he -put his lac: within a few inches of tbe gate to recognize who it was that wanted to sea him. As he did so, Duffy, who was stand ing abont a foot from tbe gate, with a lightning like motion with his right hands drew a revolver from his hip pocket, and putting it within a tew inches of Scaffidi's face, pulled the trigger. The weapon was discharged with' a loud report, and the Italian, with a groan fell back in the cor ridor, the blood spurting from a wound in the left side of the neck. Deputy Sheriff Andry was standing within three feet of Duffy when he fired the shot, and behind bim was standing Deputy Sheriff Forter and Officer Freitag. PLACED T2TDEK AEBEST. Duffy was grasped by these three- men and disarmed, while Deputy Dwyer, who was beside Scaffidi when he was shot, at tended to the wounded man. The ambulance was summoned, and pending its arrival Duffy was removed to the Fourth precinct station, which is situated in tbe parish prison, where he gave bis name and address. The revolver, a 32-cahber, with five cham bers empty and one loaded, was held as evidence. While in the station Duffy said that if the Italian died he was willing to hang. He said to tbe officers: "I only wish there was about 75 more men like me." After his name and tbe. charge had been recorded, Duffy was conveyed to the Central station by Officer Freitag. He was interrogated by Captain Journee and Secretary Vandervort, aobUhen taken back to the Fourth precinct, where he was locked ' up. When the wounded man reached the Charity Hospital, Jndge M. S. Bringier was' sent for, and with his assistant, Judge Hoi- , lander, arrived in a few minutes. Scaffidi was asked if he had anything to say before he died, and replied iu the affirmative. He began his statement by saying: "We knew Chief Hennessey and the Proveozanos were good people. We were good friends of Hatranga. THE PBIS02TEK PLEADS ISKOCEKCE. "I am going to die and I die inno cent. You know me, Judge. I always was a good boy. My idea is that the Matrangas did that to keep the Proveozanos in jail. I was friendly to all them, the Matrangas, the Proveozanos and Hennessey. That's all. Oh, my God, I am going to die!" And Scaffidi closed his eyes and re mained silent. At this moment Father O'Neal entered the ward for the purpose of aoministering the last sacrament to the wounded man and annointing him. More than 50 arrests have been made of parties believed to be implicated in the. assassination of Hennessey, and to-day an other Italian, Pedro Natal, was identified .by Officer Lannagan as one of the men he saw running away from the scene pf tbe murder. The body of the late Chief of Police David C. Hennessey lay in state at the City Hall from 10 A. li. to 3 P. 31. to-day, and was viewed by thousands of people. The funeral was largely attended, and Canal street was lined by an immense crowd for a mile. In the procession there were United States, State and city officials, citizens, policemen and firemen.
