rsrrciAL txlegbam to im dispatch, l
Phladelphii, October 27. Charles
H. Heustis, editor of the Jnquirtr, appeared
before Magistrate O'Brien at 3 o'clock this
afternoon to answer a charge of criminal
libel preferred by ex-Governor Robert E.
Fattison. Mr. Heustis was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by Mr. Pattison this
morning, and at the same time warrants
were also issued for the arrest of James
Elverson, President of the Inquirer Com
panv; Claytcn McMichael, editor and pro
prietor of the 2ibrth American, and W. F.
Jordan and J. J. McLaurin, editors and
publishers of the Harrisburg Call, who were
charged by the ex-Governor with the same
offense.
The cbarcc of libel is based upon the
simultaneous publication in the papers in
ques ua on Saturday, October 25, purport
ing to g've the secret history o I the approval
by Mr. Pattison when he was Governor of
the State of measures which had .passed the
Legislature, known as tho South Penn Rail
road bills lonr in number.
The Charges .Against Pattison.
In the three papers mentioned there was
published on Saturday morning an article
which charged that Governor Pattison had
been bribed by the Tanderbilts to sign what
were known as the South Penn bills of 1883,
and that the Governor sought out and le
tained ex-Judge Jeremiah S. Black to write
a veto message, and having received it, with
the understanding that it was to be sent to
the Legislature, he changed his mind by
the next morning, and without notice to
Judge Black, approved the bills, and that
Judge Btack denounced Governor Pattisou
for his alleged deception and severed all
amicable relations with him. The article
also charged that $30,000 in stock bad been
pid to Governor Pattisw and Attorney
General Lewis J. Cassidy for the signing of
a bill chartering a Pittsburg natural gas
corporation.
When the hearing began the little office
:n which Magistrate O'Brien holds court,
st Fifteenth and Ridge avenue, was filled.
Lawyers Shakespeare and Heverin were on
hand to look after the interests of Messers.
Heustis and Elverson, while Mayor Sulz
berger, assisted by Richard P. "White, con
ducted the case for Mr. Pattison. The only
other prominent men present were ex-Secretary
of the Commonwealth "William S.
Stenger and Judge James Gay Gordon. In
introducing the case Mr. Sulzberger read
several extracts from the article complained
of as published in th? Inquirer and offered
a copy of the paper of Saturday last in evi
dence. The Complainant on the Stand.
Ex-Governor Pattison was then called to
the stand, and after being duly sworn was
naked by his counsel. ""What were the re
lations of yourself and Judge Black previ
ous to the time of hi? death?"
"Always of the most friendly character,"
was the reply. "So far as I know Judge
ItUrkdied entertaining a very friendly
feeling toward me."
"Did y .1 ever send for him and ask him
to help you come to a decision regarding the
South Penn bills?"
"I never did. He came to me to offer
objections to their passage just as any other
citizen might do."
"When questioned as to the date of Judge
Black's visit Mr. Pattison said: "It was
the lirst part of the last week of May, 1883,
I think on Monday."
Counsel then asked: "What was his posi
tion regarding the passage of those bills?"
"He was opposed to them."
"And your own position?"
"I was in favor or them from the first and
so stated to Judge Black, I was in favor of
them the same as I would be in favor of any
half-dozen other lines which bv offering
competition would benefit the citizens of
Pennsylvania."
Passed by a Republican Legislature.
In reply to several questions the ex
Governor stated that the lonr bills had
passed both Honscs of the Legislature in the
regular order of legislation, the Legislature
being at that time Republican by a large
tujonty.
"On what grounds did Judge Black ob
ject to the parage of the bill?" was the next
question.
To this Lawyer Shakespeare objected, but
he Magistrate allowed the question. '
"His argument was principally that the
passage of the bills would only assist in
building up another monopoly," was the re
ply ot Mr. Pattison.
The Governor then stated how he signed
the bill extending the time for the comple
tion of the railroads in the State and the one
relating to terminal points to which rail
roads may be constructed. This part of the
matter having been heard, Judge Black's
visit and argument were again taken up. In
a general statement which counsel asked
him to give, Mr. Pattison said that Judge
Black had continued his argument over a
space of three or four days.
"Did you ask Judge Black to prepare a
veto message for you which would not only
take the hair off all the scoundrels heads,
but would clean the marrow out of their
bones?" was asked.
One falsehood Pointed Out.
"I did not, and any statement of that
nature or which in any way implies such a
request as having emanated from me is
false" was the reply.
"What was the nature of the paper which
Judge Black did leave with you?"
"After having argued for such a length
of time and finding that I still approved of
the bills, Judge Black asked permission to
leave with me a paper giving in substance
his arguments, and the paper which he left
with me was simply a summary of his ob
jections written out for my consideration."
"When did you next see Judge Black?"
Mr. Sulzberger asked.
"At a dinner given by me in honor of the
judges of the Supreme Court the following
week when he sat at my richt. That was
the last time I saw him, but I received a
letter Iroin him on June 5 regretting his in
ability to say good-bye before leaving Har
risburg after the dinner "
When questioned concerning the nlleged
visit to New York, the Governor stated that
he knew nothing whatever of it.
"'Did you know anything of the charter
ing of the Pittsburg .Natural Gas Com
pany?" was asked.
"I know that the company was regularly
chartered under the provisions of the State
laws for the chartering of any corporation."
The Natural Gas Story Nailed.
"How about the statement that the com
pany paid $30,000 in shares to the Pattison
crowd for the approval of the charter?"
asked Mr. Sulzberger.
Mr. Pattison quickly replied: "That is
absolutely false. No such payment was
ever made. There was no bill or anv meas
ure of any kind for which any consideration
was ever paid in an shapo or form what
ever either to me or to any member of my
Cabinet or any one in any way connected
with the Administration either directly or
indirectly."
"Were" yon. aware of the movement on
foot to make you a member of President
Cleveland's Cabinet?" was asked.
"Not until I read the story on Saturday.
I was asked to become a member of the com
mission to inquire into the condition of the
Pacific Railroad companies, and, after hav
ing declined the honor twice, accepted it at
Mr. Cleveland's earnest solicitation."
The only question asked in th-j cross-examination
by Mr. Shakespeare was: "You
are a Gubernatorial candidate for re-election
on next Tuesday?"
After the Governor's answer in the affirm
ative the opposing counsel indulged in a
friendly bout on the subject of libel suits.
A Tilt Concerning Libel Salts.
Mr. Shakespeare saying that they were
not always settled before election and Mr.
Sulzberger replying that sometimes they
were not even instituted before.
JudgeGordou siiexcalled, to the
sta'cdand in answer to a series of questions
by Mr. Sulzberger, said that he remembered
the bills very well and had voted against
two of them in the State Senate and was
absent when the third was passed. He had,
however, voted for the reduction of the
capitalization from S750.000 to $300,000 per
mile in the bill returned by Governor Patti
son for amendment.
At the request of 0 udgc Black, Senator
Gordon had given the bills to Lieutenant
Governor Black to be sent to his father, and
he had also received Judge Black's tele
gram begging for an interview with the
Governor. Judge Gordon was not present
at any time from Monday to Thursday dur
ing the hearing of the argument and had
never heard of the veto message.
"Did Judge Black ever speak: disparag
ingly ot Governor Pattison to you?" vras
asked.
"No; to me he was always the Governor's
eulogist."
"Did you co with the party, as alleged,
to New York?" was the next question.
"No."
"When did you go to New York?"
"I went to New York first alter the pas
sage of the bill in March, 1884, and during
the visit the bills were in no way referred
to, for they hud been laws for nine months.
Everytning either said or implied in the
published statement is false."
No cross-examination was made.
Stenger as a Witness.
Ei-Sccretary of State Stenger was next
called and stated that he was always in
favor of the passage of the bills,as the South
Penn Railroad would be a benefit to the
Southern tier of counties in which he lived.
He said that he had no knowledge of any
invitation to Judge Black from Governor
Pattison for a conference on the measure.
He W3s present at the argumen: on the last
day, Thursday, and saw the paper which
Judge Black had prepared. It' was spoken
of as a condensed report of the argument
offered against the bills.
"Was there anything in it of the nature
of a veto?" he was asked.
"No, there was nothing of the kind, nor
did Judge Black ever, in my presence, say
anything unkind either to or about the
Governor."
"Did yoa know anything of the use of
money in securing the charter of the Pitts
burg Gas Company?"
"I was not aware of any offer of the kind
to anyono connected with the administra
tion. The article is in every particular
false," said Mr. Steneer.
This closed the offering of evidence, and
in a few words Mr. Silzberger put the case
before the Magistrate. He said: "The ar
ticles as published give the case as happen
ing on June 3, 1883, and that date, you will
find, fails on a Sunday. The whole thing is
A Deliberate lie Fabricated
for campaign purposes. The relations of
Mr. Fattison and Judge Black were of the
most friendly nature, as is shown by the
fact of Judge Black attending a dinner, as
Mr. Pattison's invited guest, and occupying
a seat of honor."
Mr. White supplemented the argument
with the statement that on June 3, when
the alleged stormy interview is cited as hav
ing occurred, Judge Black had left Harris
burg. Mr. Sulzberger1 then asked that the
defendant be held in bail sufficient to insure
his appearance at court.
Mr. Heustis was held in $1,600 bail and
Mr. Elverson, having waived a hearing
through his counsel, was .held in the same
amount, P. W. McDowelLentering bond in
the amounts required. Mr. McDowell was
anxious to enter bail for Mr. McMichael
also, but Lawyer Sulzberger insisted that
he should be arrested "like any other.
criminal.'
The hearing in the cases of W. P. Jor
dan, J. J. McLaurin and Clayton Mc
Michael has been set for Wednesday at 13
o'clock noon. Messrs McMichael and
Elverson arc out ot town, and Mr. Mc
Michael will b: arrested as soon as he re

COLORADO SETTLERS CALL FOR 11ELP
Washington, October 27. The Indian
Bureau has received from Agent McLaugh
lin at the Standing Rock Indian agency a
report upon the prospective outbreak among
the Sioux in consequence of the promised
coming of the "New Messian." The agent
says: n
I trust that I may not bo considered an alarm
ist, and I do not wish to ba understood as con
sidering the present state of excitement so
alarming as' to apprehend any imniediato up
rising or serious outbreak, but 1 do feel it my
duty to report the present craze and nature or
the incitement existing among the "Sitting
Bull" factions of Indians over the expected
Indian millennium," the annihilation of the
white man and supremacy of the Indians,
which is looked for not later than next spring.
They are promised by some members of the
Sioux tribe, who have lately developed into
"medicine men," that tlio Great Spirit has
promised them that their punishment by tiio
dominant race has been sufficient, and that
their numbers having now become so deci
mated will be re-lnforced by all Indians who
are dead.
DEAD INDIANS RISING.
Further, they say the dead are all returning
to re-inhabit this earth which belongs to the
Indians; that they are driving back with them
as they return immense herds of buffalo and
elegant wild horses to have for the catching:
that the Great Spirit promises them that the
white men will be unable to make gun powder
in future: that be will cover the earth with SO
feet of additional soil, well sodded and tim
bered, under which the whites will all be
smothered.
"Sitting Bull" is the high priest of this latest
Indian absurdity; m a word, he is the chief
mischief maker at this agency, and if he were
not hero this craze so general among the Sioux
would never have secured a foothold at this
agency. He has been a disturbing element
here since his return from confinement as a
military prisoner in the spring of 1SS3,
but has been growing gradually worse the
past vear, which is partly to be accdnnted for
by the presence of a lady named Mrs. C. Wei
don. Irom Brooklyn, who came here in Jnne,
lSSl', announcing herself as a member of Br.
Bland's society, the Indian Defense Associa
tion, and opposed to the Indians ratifying the
act ol March 2, 1SS9.
MCNEY FOR SITTING BULL.
While here she bestowed numerous presents
upon Sitting Boll, considerable being money,
which bad a demoralizing effect upon him, in.
flating him with his importance.
The woman is now located on tho north bank
of Cannon Ball river, just outeide of this reser
vation, and about 25 miles north of the agency.
Sitting Bull has been a frequent visitor to her
house, and he has grown more insolent and
worthless with every visit he has made there,
her lavish expendituro of money and other
gifts npon him enabling him to give frequent
feasts and hold councils.
On the 9th Instant, upon an invitation from
Bitting Bull, an Indian named Kicking Bear,
belonging to the Cheyenne River Agency, the
chief medicine man of the ghost dance among
the Sioux, arrived at Sitting Bull's camp, on
Grand river, to inaugurate a ghost dance and
initiate the members. Upon learning of his ar
rival there I sent a detachment of 13 policemen
but thev returned without executing the order,
both officers being in a "dazed" condition and
fearing the powers of Kicking Bear's medicine.
Sitting Bull was very insolent to the omcers,
and made the threats against certain members
of force, but said that the visitors would leave
the following day.

and to notify Sitting Bull that his insolence

and that the great dance must not be con

ported that the party had not started back to
Cheyenne before his arrival there on the morn
ing of the loth, but left immediately upon his
ordering them to do so. and that Sitting Bull
told him that htf was determined to continue
the "Ghost Dance," as the Great Spirit had
sent a direct message by Kicking Bear that to

TROUBLE IS BREWING.
The Governor about ten days ago notified
the Interior Department that trouble was

Thrilling Story of an Adventure In Upper

Escanaba, Mich., October 27. A
hunting, party composed of A. Bogy, of
Princeton, III., and Martin Myers and
Thomas McKinney, of this city, have
had a tragical experience in the wilds
of the Northwest, from the Little
hamlet Metropolitan. Friday Myers and
Rogy left McKinney alone for a time in
camp. -Becoming lonely, he started on
a short exploring expedition into the
brnsh. He' neglected to keep his
bearings, and on attempting to return found
himself bewildered. The lost hunter was
without weapons or food. When Meyers
and Rogy reached the camp they searched
for the mifsing companion, and then set out
for Metropolitan.
The two hunters promptly joined with the
village authorities in oSering a large re
ward for the discovery of the lost man. The
villagers turned ont almost to a man. Last
evening the party was almost ready
to abandon the quest, when they
stumbled upon McKinney, who, ex
hausted and dazed almost to stupor
by exposure and hunger, was still alive
pulling weeds and brush to build a singal
fire. The unfortunate was conveyed to
Metropolitan, where to-day he was uncon
scious the greater portion of the time. It is
hardly probable that he will survive until
morning.
ANOTHER AIRING IN COURT.
The Husaboe Breach of Promise Suit Ar
gued Again.;
rSPECIAt, TELEQBaM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Sceanton, October 27. The breach of
promise suit brought by Miss Annie H.
Husaboe against the Rev. Peter Roberts
had another airing in court this morning in
the shape of an argument for a new trial.
Counsel for the recreant minister, Mr. Ed
wards, argued that the action of Mr.
Pitcher, counsel for the plaintiff, in taking
the stand and revealing the confession
which the minister mado to him was unpro
fessional and should not have been per
mitted. Mr. Pitcher swore that the min
ister confessed to him the promise of mar
riage. This, with the clergyman's damaging
letters, led to his conviction.
Counsel lot Mr. Roberts also alleged that
Miss Husaboe had once brought a suit
against a man in Wisconsin for a similar
case in all respects. Mr. Colborn, counsel
for Miss Husaboe, challenged the .'proof of
this last statement, and hinted that had
Miss Husaboe so desired she could have
produced evidence which would have
blasted the reputations of others who were
students of Yale.

Cincinnati, October 27. Contrary to
general expectation, an application was
made this afternoon for an injunction to re
strain Mayor Mosby from appointing the
members of the Board of City Affairs, au
thorized by the act of Legislature passed on
Friday last. The application was made to
Judge Hunt, of the Superior Court, by
Louis Reemlin, William Montgomery and
Ed Dunham, of the Board of Public Im
provements, which was abolished by the
same act. The ground of the application
is that the act of Legislature is illegal and
void because it is unconstitutional in being
a special act conferring corporate powers,
and in that it limits the selection ot the
members of the two leading political par
ties. Mayor Mosby said in the morning he-
would go ahead and appoint .Messrs.

London, October 27. Mr. and Mrs.
Henry M. Stanley started at noon to-day for
Liverpool, on Jheir way to America. A
large party of friends accompanied them to
Euston station in order to bid farewell to
the conple, and a crowd also assembled and
cheered the illustrious traveler and his-wife
as they entered the station.
The Globe, one of the leading afternoon
papers, in referring to the recently issued
biography of Major Barttelot, says:
Tne book is not only the vindication of a
brave soldier and gentleman who died at tho
post of duty, but it is also a formal indictment
before the court of public opinion of another
Englishman whom .Englishmen hold in honr
honor, which, if the indictment is well founded,
must be gravely tarnished and impaired. The
question is how far Stanley is answerable for
the fato of his second in command, and
whether or not ho endeavored to blacken his
Lieutenant's reputation to save his own. Stan
Icy, according to Barttelot's biographer, left
stores at Yambuya under Barttelot in order to
divert the Arab plunderers from impeding his
own advances and deluded Barttelot into the
belief that he expected Tippoo Tib to assist in
forwarding them. He left instructions he
knew to be impracticable and virtually aban
doned his rear-guard, either from indifference
or intention. Stanley's written instructions
stand to prove that Barttelot was not to stir
without all the stores, otherwise he would rmn
the whole expedition. Barttelot obeyed under
a strong sense of duty. He n as on rearguard
duty against his will: for 13 months be was left
to rot in Yambuya. a martyr, beyond question,
to duty and discipline. For this man Stanley
has nothing but blame for disobedience to his
criers, and sneers at bis honesty and courage.
tanley has to meet these charges. No action
a 1 aw can be brought on behalf of the dead
n ,i. To meet them becomes a debt of honor.
B" Itelot was a simple-minded, straight-for-ws3
soldier, and with a soldier's sense of dis
cipline. Stauley must prove, not merely as
sert, that his written instructions were with
drawn.before he can shift the responsibility.
By silence he admits the charges, which imply
that he was crnel or callous, if not actually
treacherous, for bis own selbsb, secret ends,
followed by calumny when the necessity came
upon him. Despite all his precaution?, this is
the indictment. In justice to a brave soldier,
it cannot bs ignored.

Washington, October 27. Secretary of
the Interior Noble to-day rendered a de
cision denying the application ot Mayor
Grant for a enumeration of the population
of the city of New York. In his decision
the Secretary says:
It thus appears that the Mayor bases his ap
plication on the fact, as he alleges, that the
municipal census shows many more inhabitants
to have been in New York in October than the
United States census shows to have been there
in June, that the Secretary finds tne municipal
census was not ukea unuor any supervision oy
the Census Bureau, or anyone representing it,
and no such information has been sent the
bureau or department as enables it to deter
mine that tho United States census was faulty
and should be retaken; that a faulty United
States census mut bo shown by proof that the
excess now claimed were inhabitants of the
city in Jnne and not then enumerated; that the
National census has been so well token that
the body of the people are content with it,
and that it should not be abandoned. No such
reasons are here showu to exist, and the appli
cation is not allowed.

be applied for the simple reason that school
accommodations are provided for less than

Caruze slept on Sunday night in an
Italian lodging house on High street, this
city, and left lor Steubenville yesterday
morning, 'taking with him Gallo, for whom
he had promised to find employment. The
men reached Steubenville about noon and
finally crossed the river. They strolled to
gether to a comparatively unfrequented spot,
and there, without any quarrel between the
men, Caruze pulled his revolver and fired
two shots at Gallo. Both bullets took effect
in Gallo's body, one penetrating the left
lung. Physicians say that he cannot re
cover. Caruze, a3 soon as he had done the shoot
ing, started for Wheeling Junction. He
made no attempt to rob his victim, who had
considerable money on his person, and it is
largely due to thi3 fact that the shooting is
believed to be either an assassination or
dered by the Mafia, or the outcome of an
vendetta imported from Italy. Caruze took
a train on the Panhandle Railroad, saying
he was going to Lock Haven.
The Steubenville anthorities notified In
spector McAleese to look out for Caruze,
but up to a late hour last night no trace had
been found of him, although the police
were working diligently. Caruze has a
