The brief paragraphs that appeared iu this morning's papers giving the fact that Lieutenant "Wernert had been tried and acquitted on the charge of desertion, gave no intimation of the romantic and sensational circumstances that lie back 01 the duels, and other offenses that prompted the arrest of the Lieutenant. It will be remembered that "Wernert fought two dueis and then disappeared. When, he returned he claimed that his dis appearance came from iear that the death of one of his opponents might cause him trouble, and was in no sense influenced by any desire to leave the army or shirk its duties. He declared upon his honor as an ofiieer and a gentleman th3t the reason for his duels was a family one of the grarest importance, and should never be made public A reporter has succeeded in learning the true inwardness of the whole affair, and it turns out to be a story better suited to the seniles of the middle ages rather than this pracical century, lor it is made up of love, hats, duels and death. vekjteet's disaffeabaxce. Lieutenant Wernert is an Alsatian, aged 27. He is considered a brave officer, and served with marked distinction in Tonquin. He is handsome, and ha3 always been a favorite amor? his comrades. In Slay last he disi -;cared, and for three months there was nv trace oi him and no message came from him to indicate hi: whereabouts. At the end of that time it was learred that Werner was then and had been at the home of his parents at Schleststadt, in Alsace. When this discovery was made the French papers almost unanimously con demned him as a deserter to Germany, and treat so far as to say that he had sold charts of the de:enses of Toulon to the enemy. His friend; were naturally aghast at the charge, since deatn alone would be the punishment if he weie caught. As toon as Wer -ert sax the attacks on his honor he mad; up his mind not to de lay, but to return at once and face the music, with the result already told. How comts the love part of the story which lets in the light upon the whole affair. AN ITALIAN EIVAL. Some time ago Wernert loved a beautiful gill, who returned his affection and a mar riace was arranged between them. But the villain of the drama made his appearance in the usual style. This one was an Italian Prince, and he soon begaD to pay court to the Lieutenant's beautiful fiancee. She waB fascinated by his manner and his title, and listened to his words of devotion, but Wernert would not give her up without a Etrugcl'. Tie snatched her from the clutches of the Italian bv threateniue to kill him if anything happens to the girL Upon this the Prince sent a challenge to the young Lieutenant, who accepted it. The meeting took place ;n the tatter's garden and the weapons chosen were swords. After some passes Wernert ran the Prince through the body and ne was carried off unconscious and died soon after. Determined to punish the bold young man and avenge his friend's death, one of the Prince's second: sent Wernert another challenge, which again he accepted. A DUEL AT JTIG1IT. The scene was the same spot in the garden where the former duel bad taken place. It was night when the combatants met and they had to fight by the glimmering light given by a few lanterns which were fur nished by the seconds. In this en counter Lieutenant Wernert was slightly wounded, but his opponent suffered as se riously as his royal friend and like him was carried off the field unconscious, and it is be lieved has since died. These are the facts that led to the Lieuten ant's flight, for on hearing the tragic result of his action he became fearful ot the conse quences and fled the country. Before the court martial he refused to throw any light on the matter or to furnish any proof of his innocence He merely said: "Do with me as you please." Luckily for him the real story as above given was known to the court and the trial resulted iu his acquittal as told to-day. Meanwhile, Wernert is the heroof the hour, but the girl for whom he risked his life at the sword's point has gone to a convent. WILHELirS LATEST JtOJlOK.

Kight Hundred Thousand Pounds Capital ltchiud the .Undertaking The Object Said to he to ltcduoe the Kates The Plan "Well Organized and Under Way. fBT DDSLAP'S CABLE COMPAXY.l London, October 18. It has just leaked out that a meeting of the utmost importance has taken place of a number of capitalists headed by C. W. Bonyngc, of San Fran cisco, with the object of arranging for the immediate putting into operation of a scheme lor the laying of a new cable across the Atlantic ocean. Tbe un dertaking is capitalized thus: Eight hundred thousand pounds sterling of stock is to be taken by eight men at 100.000 each, to be fully paid up and no debentures issued. The cable is to be laid Irom Valentia Bay, on the west coast of Ireland, to a point on the American coast near New York, if possible. Mr. Bonynge was seen at his borne in Prince's Gate. At first he expressed surprise and annoyance that tbe secret had leaked out, and reiused to discuss the matter. Afterward he admitted that the statement was correct, and said: "I am one of the peo ple interested, and have paid up 100, 000. The cable, however, will be practically a private enterprise, as we shall not go to the pnblic with debentures. We rau lay the cable complete and in working order tor 5S00.OOO. and it will be odd if we cannot pay a big dividend and give the public an immense advantage besides. Fnrther than this I preier to say nothing." From another source it was learned to night that the real object of this enterprise is the reduction of cable rates between America and England. All those interested are of opinion, backed by strict calculation, that the utmost public satisfaction can be given and a splendid service carried on at a rate of 3 pence a word, and a large dividend paid into the bargain. The Bcheme is well organized and thoroughly under way. Mr. Bonynge will sail for New York by the Teutonic on the 29 ih of this month to make the American arrangements. As part of the plan it is decided that tbe company shall build and own its own wires from New York to Chicago, St Louis, Boston and Philadelphia, and then control abso lutely aud exclusively the greatest share of all the American business. The scheme is gigantic, and if carried out, as it seems cer tain to be, will revolutionize the system of communication between the two countries. HIS XOBDSHIP STILL HABD UP.

Lord Sackville's demand for rent for the site of the Shake speare memorial fountain, which Mr. Childs, of Philadelphia, presented to Strat-ford-on-Avon, is probably explained by his recent action. It must have been due to necessity, for the uoble lord has been obliged to sell three important pictures from the collection which form a vpry attractive feature of his country sest at Kuowle, which is about ten miles from Warwick. The pictures brought the handsome sum of 50.000. but this will not be enough to meet his requirements, and he intends to sell some others, which will no doubt fetch very high prices, as there are many magnifi cent works in the collection.

The sale took plac: on the grand stairway inside the main en trance of the Court House, and was at tended by about 100 people. The highest bid came from New York parties, who bid it in for $25,000. Thisainountwill go toward paying the debts of the company, in all about $40,000. It includes $5,000 worth of receiver's certificates, which will be satis fied first, and after that will be paid the court and other costs piled up in the pro ceedings. When all debts are satisfied there will be a division pro rata among the stock holders, who will get about 40 cents on the dollar.

Columbus, October 18. Governor Campbell received sore treatment at the hands of the Legislature to-day, principally from the Democratic members. There was only one measure for consideration the compromise bill between the Democratic caucus and the Governor. It was a strong concession from the position taken by Campbell in his message, that he would accede to nothing short of the abolishment of the Board of Improvements at Cincin nati, the selection of a new one, aud the restoration of home rule. The compromise gave the Governor the power of removal and to fill vacancies. It has been feared the Hamilton county members, who have been making a strong fight for the members of tbe Board of Im provements, would not stand by tbe agree ment They were backed by a big lobby and, report says, considerable money. The compromise bill was defeated 'in the House by the Hamilton county members. They endeavored to do it indirectly, but, finding they could not, voted direct against the measure and it fell far short of success DENOUNCED THE GOVERNOR. The members became so bold they de nounced the Governoras an aspiring indi vidual, who desired to run the politics of the State and have charge of the machinery of the cities, but ther would not stand it, as far 3s Cincinnati was concerned. After the bill had been defeated a substitute was offered which places the appointing power in the hands of the Sinking Fund Commissioners and pro vides a non-partisan board, but this met the same fate of the other bill. It was re considered and was pending, when an ad journment was taken to Monday. It is evident the Democratic majority can not agree upon any measure, and nothing will be accomplished in the line of message suggestions. The Republicans hold the key to the situation. They renewed their pledge in caucus to vote for noth ing sugeested by Democrats, and voted against both bills. They will not renew their alliances with the Governor to aid him in his efforts to restore home rule to Cincin nati. It is conceded if anything is accom plished it will be in accordance with tbe wishes of Republicans joined by a few Democrats. CONCESSION TO REPUBLICANS. If the Mayor of Cincinnati is given the appointing power, by which means thb Re publicans will be able to suggest their own members of the Board of Improvements, they will vote for the abolishment of the board and a return to home rule. The be lief, however, is quite general that Camp bell will allow the Legislature to adjourn rather than concede too much to the Repub licans in order to overcome his enemies in the Democratic Legislature. The scenes during the vote on the com promise bill were ot a most exciting char acter and came nearly ending in a row. Dr. Hagerty, one of tbe suspected members, wanted to explain, and, as he was not per mitted to do so, he voted a good robust "No.'' The vote of Mr. Hagerty was in the line of a sensation nnd many Democrats gathered about to tell him he was wrong, bnt be could not see it that way; he was standing by the Governor's message. The oouruons couiu nut. uuuer&iauu wiiy xiuger- tv should vote that way, and 'insisted his name be called again and finally secured the attention of the Clerk for that purpose. A LIVELY SCENE. Hagerty clambered up through a crowd of several members who were resting upon his frame, inclnding a number of Senators, and said: "Allow no guilty man to escape. Vote by the Governor's message and vote." Great cheers greeted this announcement on th Republican side and Dr. Hagerty continued in a tone of voice which could be heard above everytbing to the effect that he had a wife and family for whom he had some respect and did not pro pose to be bulldosed into doing a dishonest thing. He indulged in several cuss words of more thau ordinary emphasis. There was a demand thai the member be re moved from the Chamber for swearing aud improper conduct, but affairs quieted down somewhat and therecallof names continued. Mr. Belize got the floor pending the call of tbe roll and stated there were members there win- refused to vote, and he moved they be brought before the bar of the House and made to vote one wav or the other. MEMBERS MUST' VOTE. There was a chorus of noes greeted this proposition. It was soon found that O'Dowd, Schulte and other Hamilton County members were referred to. Mr. Dav, who had reiused to vote on the first and second calls, had finally given his vote for the bill. The Speaker explained the rule that members are reauired to vote unless they are excused bv tbe House. Yesterday's Nominations for Congress. Oklahoma Territory David A Harvey. Re- J publican.

AFTER MANY MONTHS The McGaw Investigating Committee Brings in a Verdict and REPORTS ALL ADVERSELY TO HIM. Ei-Delegate A. M. Swarlz Presented With a Timely Testimonial IN RECOGNITION OF HIS SERVICES. Huting to li Etld in Hvriitarg to Term a 8UU Bard cfA.r. ofL. The committee appointed by the Central Trades' Council to investigate into Homer L. McGaw's connection with the now cele brated "Jeannette case," reported at the meeting of the Council, held last night. The committee believes that the evidence be 'ore it points to the fact that McGaw did, through his counsel, make a proposition to settle the case. It makes no suggestion as to what lurther proceedings should be taken. The report was indorsed by tbe Council. The charges were made by the delegates from L. A. 6111, green bottle blowers. Tbe committee reported that their investigation had covered three propositions: "Whether offers were made by McGaw to settle tbe case for a money consideration; whether certain evidence pertaining to tbe case was held back or suppressed, and whether cer tain alleged important witnesses were not summoned to appear at the trial." The letter from E. E. Cotton, q., coun sel for L. A. 300, window glass workers, was what instigated tbe inquiry. It reads as follows: James Campbell, Esq. : In answer to yonr inquiry, the proposition submitted by Messrs. Blakeley and McGaw on April 25 was, that if the sum of S5.0OO was paid to Mr. Mctiawforthe useof himself and others whose names were noi disclosed, tbat he and they would take care tbat no verdict should be rendered versus tbe defendants in tne 'Jean nette case.' The way suggested to accomplish the matter was that they would see that the Government would not bave sufficient evidence on tbe trial of tbe present or any future cause brought in regard to the matter. Respectfully, E. E. CoTTOir. Mat 8. '90. Mr. McGaw, at the meeting of the com mittee stigmatized the letter as a lie, and General Blakely, w'ho Mr. McGaw's at torney, said it was a lie as far as it referred to him. The committee took considerable testimony and give as their conclusion the following: We believe tbat all tbe evidence and circum stances testified to by tbe dinerent witnesses unerringly point to the fact that Homer L. McGaw did, tlirongh bis recocnized conncil, make a base proposition to settle tbe Jeanette cao for a monev consideration. We believe tbat tbe evidence shows that, while negotiating this betrayal of the trust re posed in him.-that Homer L. McGaw did pur posely withhold certain documents of value to the prosecution until tbe very last moment and that be only surrendered then at tbe s arnest request of the attorney for tbe Trades Council. The tbird proposition we did not deem it necessary to go into at all, after Attorney Lvons' statement that tbe repudiation of Ford's affidavit settled the case. "Tbe committee does not and will not make any suggestions or recommendations .to tbe council as to what further proceedings, if any, should be taken in the matter, preferring to leave tbat to the Trades Council, but we are of tbe unanimous opinion tbat the fact" herein sworn to by recognized honorable workers in the onuse of labor, cannot be offset by tbe un qualified statement of Homer L. McGaw. who repeatedly declared his eagerness to meet his accusers under oath, but who declined when tbe opportunity was offered him. "We believe that this record, which we here subscribe to, should forever disbar Homer L. McGaw from ever holding any position of honor or profit in any labor organization." A motion was made that the conclusions be accepted and the report indorsed. The motion was adopted and the Council ad journed. ON B0UTIHZ 2XATTEBS.

Window Glass Workers Pass Resolutions Eulogistic of the Little Xapoleon and His Tariff Measure How They Regard the latter Hearty "Words From ' the Heart. At the last regular meeting of L. A. 300, Window Glass Workers, the following pre amble and resolutions were passed by unani mous vote: To the Officers and Members of L. A. 300, E. of L.: Wiieeeas. We. tbe Window Glass Workers of America, do believo tbat the measure passed in the lato session of tbe Fifty-first Congress of tbe United States, known as tbe McKinley bill,, has been of ereat benefit to the industrial in terests of the county: and. Whereas, We realize that its passage was ac complished by the strennous efforts of such members of the House of Representatives and tbe Senate of the United States as recognized the right of tho workers the voters to claim tbe redemption of pledges made by political parties during a political camoaien, and which are too often totally ignored when the contest is decided. And realizing further that to its autbor, Major William McKinley. M. C. is dne, above all others, tbe credit for the benefits tbat have and are to accrue to American labor tbrougb this legislation; be it. tberefore. Resolved, Tbat we do hereby express our hearty approval of tbe McKinley bill, believ ing that it has vouchsafed to na continued and increased prosperity in tlio trades at which we are employed, and we do commend the true, manly principle which prompted its author. Major -McKinley. to so earnestly, untiringly and effectively strive for tbe redemption of tbose pledge his party had made to the work ins men of America, and to secure for their benefit protection to American industries, thereby reviving in the breasts of the toilers the hope tbat successful political parties may yet be brought to recognize tbe right of tbe voter to claim tbe keeping of promises made to secure election to power. And further, we call on all workingmen to remember tbat in tbe light of past exnerience that their only hope for progress and prospenty lies in their keeping careful guard of their own interests, and we suggest to tbem that this can best be done by strenuously insisting on having their rights respected by tbe lawmakers of tne nation, and this can must effectively be done by snpportiny for office only sacb men as show a disposition to keep faith with them. And, f ortber, be it Resolved, Tbat we appeal to the constituents of Major William McKinley tcrbe careful to see that every man who has tbe interests of labor at heart and respect for true manliness lends his hearty support to and casts his ballot for the return of Major McKinley to Congress and thereby serve notice on policlcians and political parties tbat labor Is appreciative of a man who will rsspects its rights.

BE MAI HATE TO APPEAL TO CONGEES?, Cbirgts Tint tie Btfuil is Actuated Tinragh PoUuetl Isflaeiiu. nrictxr. tzlxgrjoi to tot DinrATCH.l NewYobk, October 18. The insolent letter published in yesterday's Sun, which has been sent to Mayor Grant by the Acting Superintendent of the Census in answer to the Mayor's demand for an accurate connt of New York's population, amazed the towa to-day. That an obscure clert in the Census Bu reau, acting in Superintendent Porter's ab sence should take it upon himself practic ally to deny New York's right to recount is considered evidence ot an understanding tbat New York is to have no reconnt, no matter how overwhelming the evidence is against tbe Federal census of June. The letter was not mailed at Washington until after it had been published in New York. It was received at the Mayor's office at noon, postmarked this morning. The Mnyor is now done with the Censns Bnreau. He said to-day that he would ab solutely ignore this letter and make bis next demand directly upon the Secretary of the Interior. If Secretary Noble is in the con spiracy, too, and refuses to grant us redress, Mayor Grant will appeal to the President If this tails, the Mayor will make his last fight by appealing to Congress ior a recog nition of tbe city's rights. TOUCHING ON POLITICS. "It is very evident," said the Mayor, "that the census officials will not count the inhabitants for New York for tbe probable reason that it would mean an additional Democratic representative in Congress. It is not a matter of favor or kindness on the part ot the census officials which we demand, bnt it is a matter of right. The peo ple of New Ynrk City pay at least their pro--portionate share of the expenses of the Census Bnreau. "As this letter contradicts a plain and un mistakable (act, it may be well for me to repeat tbe facts which are known to the people of New York. The police enumera tion was taken under tbe supervision of my self 2nd a representative selected by the Census Office. The representative was Mr. Olcott, who came with written cre dentials signed iu the same manner as the letter printed in this morn ing's newspapers. The week before the Censns Office telegraphed to me asking when onr enumeration wonld begin. To that I replied that the day was not fixed, as there was some uncertainty about the time when the blank and tabulation tables wonld bo ready. WATCHED BT A CENSUS OFFICIAL. "The next day I received a letter repeat ing tbe telegram which I had .received tbe day before. By that time it was definitely settled the census would begin on Monday, and I both telegraphed and wrote to the Census Department to that effect. The telegram was received at least two days be fore the census began. "The newspapers at that time hinted that Mr. Olcott, one of the heads ot the depart ments in the Census Bureau, would come on to New York to supervise the census. Mr. Olcott called before the books had begnu to come in. He brought written credentials from tbe Acting Superintendent of Census. I took pleasure in honoring these creden tials and in placing all the facilities of this office at the disposal of Mr. Olcott. "Mr. Olcott availed himself of tbe facili ties. The books were counted in his pres ence and under his supervisions. The tab ulation tables were made up in his presence and with bis active assistance." SAILING THROUGH SPACE. Prof. Campbell, of Air-Ship Fame, Slake Some Statements Confident He Has Solved a Problem That Has Knocked Out All Others. Prof. Peter Carmant Campbell, the gen tleman who claims to be the only man in the world to construct an air-ship which is in the least practicable, arrived in the city last night from the West. He will remain here for several days, and if possible will give an exhibition of his invention during the coming wek, tbe intention being to make a public ascension. The experience of sailing through ths space in an air-ship is not a new one to Prof. Campbell. He made a successful as cension in Buffalo, last July. The ship was started at 4:15 in the alternoon, and continued the journey until alter 6 o'clock. An attitude of 3,000 feet was reached, and the ship was condncted iu all directions, both with and against the wind, and then landed safely in the suburbs of the city. It was the most successful ascension ever made by tbe professor, and the dim ax oi 30 years of study and experiment. In speak ing of the subject last night, he said: "I know tbat I am the only man who has solved the great problem of a successful air ship. I have been.been working on the Idea for many years, and at last my efforts are crowned with success. Men have encircled the globe with railways;they navigate the seas; the science of electricity has been won derfully developed during the last few years, and why should not advancements be made in orther lines?" Mr. Campbell's air-ship consists of a hug egg-shaped balloon, HO feet long and 24 feet high. It holds 15,027 feet or 600 pounds of gas. Beneath the balloon is a car abont 50 feet in length, secured by ropes. One end is fitted out with a rudder and tbe other end with a propeiling wheel, while beneath the car is a second wheel, the same as used in a ' screw propeller. The two wheels are set in motion by means of a crank. In addition to the Buffalo experiment, the professor's ship has undergone other tests of a satisfactory character. The professor is very enthusiastic over his invention. LAB0E 0BAT0BS AT W0EK. Coke Kegion Politics at the Boiling Point Republican Voters Shot Oat tSPXCUL TKUOBAK TO THB DISPATCH, t Scottdale, October 18. Politics is get ting warmer every day in the coke regions. The appearance of the two K. of L. speakers, McGuire and Carney, has spurred each party on to active and effectual work. Ee publican circles in Fayette county are all torn dp over the probable disfranchisement of 163 Republicans at Connellsville, from the failure to remit their taxes in due time. The Bepublican leaders are making every effort to have the matter fixed, but so 'far their efforts have been futile. Connellsville contains at least 500 Kepup lican voters, and the subtraction of 163 Irom that list will swell the Democratic majority to at least 300. In additiou to this, it is conceded tbat Pattison will secure at least 50 Bepublican votes in that town. Charles H. Litchman, ex-General Secre tary of theKnigntsof Labor, and James Campbell, ex-Presidentot the Giassworkers," will stump the coke region next week, for Delamater. A big mass meeting is being arranged for tbe Bessemer works nest Wednesday evening. It Is reported that the British Ministers at Rome will reopen negotiations regarding Northeast African territory.
