THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. MONDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1S90. a - trick resorted to to get the list of names of the members of the order." Mr. McFreder ick was visited at his borne last evening, and made the followiug statement: When I saw the account of the Mechanics' circular affair in the piper this moraine I was Terj much incensed. The Idea of dragging the order into politics is foreign to the teachings and constitution of the organization. I had no Idea that such a thing was being done. When I saw the circular and afterward the letters in to-day s Dispatch l thought I would ten you, if 3 ou did not already know it, the trick worked to obtain the names used in mailing the cir culars. HOW THE XAMES WERE OBTAISED. Last Monday I was a little late getting to lodge, and when I went Into the ante-room I found a man waiting for me. He was intro duced as James Cramson, of The American. He told me he wanted a list of the lodge's members to send out copies of The American. in order to Increase the paper's circulation. I told him to come inside, but he said he did not hare the password, so you can judge how good x Mechanic he was. I thought at the time that all was right and gave hlu the book, and he left, as he said, for his own council, 124, to get its roll-book. As proof that the circular came through The American nlftce. Cramson told roe to call for the roll-book at tho office after next Tnesaay. If my Council indorses Mr. Collins' action on the circular I will drop out, and 1 know 1 have some Influence, too. If such a thing is possi ule. I will have a resolution passed to-morrow night, denouncing tho action of Stephen Col lins. . . . 1 believe the American people wore paid by the Coun'y Committee lo obtain tho list ol names, for who would collert the names ol ZU. 000 members for nothing? During tho llaytie. Hblras flght Stephen Collins came to our loilgo and talked against political action, and I am surprised at this last move. AV. 8. Nr-sbit, Ksq., the well-known at torney ol 411 Grant street, nlio resides at Tarcntum, a member of Tarculum Council No. 01, Jr. O. U. A. M and n odhercnt to the some political psrty at Mr. Collins, Inst evening left tho following at Till! IMS 7atcii nfllce for publication. Mr. Ncsblt language was no less emphatic than that of the circular appended: DEMANDING Mf INVKSTIOATIOK. Taiiuntum, November 2, 1800. We, the undersigned member of Tarentum Council No. 111. Jr. O. U. A. M.. have read with 'indlgnatlou tho letter which Stephen Collins, Esq., the Bute Councilor of our Order, ad dresd and mailed to O. B. Marshall. Eq.. of Kittannlng, Pa- aud IUcnnllng Hacretary of Klttanning Council No. IBS. Jr. O. U. A. M. It is well known that our order is non-political, nonpartisan and purely patriotic: and the circular sent our to our mem bers bv the Republican State Committee to the effect that the Iteuublicau party i the champion of the doctrines of the American Mechanics, and tho Democratic party I op nosed toourftee schools) stem, and that '7o per cent of the vote for Robert E. Fatttson will come from those unalterably opposed to our glorious free school system," we regard as one of the meanest tricks of low, political dema gogy on the eve of a great State election that ha come to our notice; it Is a gross insult to our order, whatever our political preferment may be, and Is adirect insult to our intelligence as American citizens, and bears its talsity on its face. That Mr. Stephen Collins, our Stato Council or, should attempt to prostitute the great or der of which he is the State head, by violating t his solemn obligations, and in the lace of law and morals attempting to boost the partv of his political preferment. Is a matter, to us, of pro found astonishment and regret. No matter what our politics or preferences, we denounce it as treason, high treason to the w elfare of onr yordi lreii 'order. ve aemanutuat .air. tmuuosui wo removed from his position of trust and honor. THEIR VIEW OF THE MATTER. Yes, Mr. Collins, your 'dynamite expressed" to Mr. Marshall, of Klttanning. will indeed prove a "boomerang," and in a way and manner you never dreamed of. We propose to take action on the matter at our legular meeting Monday evening, and request that all our sis ter councils do likewise. "W. h. Nesbit, W. W. Calnass, "W. H. JIahoffey. AV. H. Berry, E.

Still another phase of the matter is in dicated in the following special lo TnE Dispatch from Claysville: On last Thursday, the 30th ultimo. Mr. R. C. McCrackcn, Secretary ol uwjsvine luuncu To. JtfO.Jr., O. U. A. M., received one of Stephen Collius' now famous circulars. Mr. McCracken, at the' time, refused to entertain the belief that It was f ofT'Cial origin, and pale) but little at tention to the matter until to-day, when the Marshall decoy letter article was shown him in The Dispatch. threaten" to resiox. Upon its being again brouebt to Mr. Mc cracken's notice he gavo tho circular a close inspection, and is now convinced it came from headquarters, and is now not slow in express ing bis opinion ol the matter. When questioned regarding it be said to The Dispatch correspondent to-night: "When 1 becamo a member of the Jr. O. U. A. M. it was renrescuted to mo as being a non political organization, and dnring my six month's mctnbcrthlp I have not until now ob served anything to cause me to suspect other wise. I have talked with several of the mem bers of our lodge, regardless of party, and with one exception we are unanimous In our Intention to sever our connection with the order." All efforts to secure Mr. Collins' defense from his friends proved unavailing, one and all declining to sneak for him in his ab sence from the city. SIMPLY FACETIOUS. COLLINS ADMITS THE LETTER. BUT SAYS HE WAS JOKING. Tliebtatn Councillor Inters ten el Concern JngUic Now ruinous American Mechanic Circular Ho Says Ifo Did Not Know Marshall IVus in the Order. A telegram from a staff correspond ent of The Dispatch iu Philadelphia last night says: Messrs. Stephen Col lins, faheriff McCandless, Charles F. Jahn and E. Y. Graff, of l'ittsbure, arrived in this city last night They slept at the Hotel Lafayette, aud there I interviewed Mr. Collins this evening about the attempt to get the American Mechanics interested in the Gubernatorial campaign. The story was sent out from this city last "Wednesday, and even then Mr. Collins' name was used by the Democrats in connection with it. "It is all a campaign canard," he said this evening. "Here is the whole inward ness of the matter: Some time ago one of the prominent members of the Allegheny County Republican Committee was in Phila delphia, and saw here a lot of campaign cir culars about Governor Pattison's veto of Senate bill No. 27 in 1883, which had important relations to the school directors of cities of the second class. As Pittsburg is the only city of the second class, he thought it would make good local campaign thun der, and took home to Pittsburg a big batch of the circulars. He came to me and said that as it was a matter affecting the public schools, the American Mechanics would be interested in it I explained my official connection with the order, and de clined to send the circulars. It would have put me in a very compromising position. He saw my position at once, and said he would seek some other way of reaching the Mechanics. I told him that at the publish ing house of the American Mechanics' paper in Pittsburg he could buy for 25 cents a gum bheet containing the names and addresses of all the Mechanics. I told him I had to buy one of those sheets whenever I wanted to get the addresses; that they were open to any one, and he could buy one as well as I .could. He afterward told me that he bought one of the sheets. He bad the circu lars sent out from Republican headquarters, and I had not a single thing to do with their transmission. "Now, as to the Marshall correspondence. The letters as published in The Dispatch are correct. This man Marshall wrote asking if I conld get him the circulars. I went and got them, because he asked me to. The whole transaction was done as a private citizen and a Republican, and not as State Councillor of the order. I do not know this oau Marshall, and did not know he was in the order. My remarks in the letter about dvnamite' and 'boomerangs were simply facetious. At this late date the whole episode has been made sensational for politi cal effect, and I assure you it was all very harmless, so far as I was concerned. The prominent Republican of Allegheny county of whom I speak is ready to exonerate me from the charge of circulating the papers." C ratlin. ilantAe flint hie vifcif in PMlfl. delphia has any connection with politics. So do the other gentlemen. UNCLE SAM IN POLITICS. HIS BOYS HAVE TO HUSTLE TO QET THROUGH THEIR WORK. The nttsburg Postoffice Almost Choked "With Campaign Documents AVbich Mnst be Delivered To-Day Hiring AVagons to Help the Letter-Carriers. Every man with a -rote in Allegheny county will get a letter to-day. The Pitts burg Postoffice was nearly choked with business yesterday. At noon Postmaster McKean and his entire force started to work to clear away the accumulation of campaign matter. The Republican Committee bad sent in 200,000 circulars, one for each voter iu the countv, and a few over, it being estimated that there are 107,000 voters in Allegheny county. The Independent Committee dropped down with 133.000 addressed envelopes, each one containing three fac similes ol the straight Republican ticket except that it is headed with Pattison's name. These tickets nre for the benefit of vest-pocket voters who do not care to be spotted. In addition to this they sent out 200,000 envelopes contain ing circulars, tickets and other matter which mar be useful on election day. Tho Democrats also turned In a large amount ot matter, and helped to swell tho lot it I. Kverr letter carrier to-day will havo from two to fivo bushels of postal matter to deliver on his first trip. The Postmaster will put all the subs on to help, and will hlro at many wagons ai h can obtain to carry tho loads for the letter carriers. Postmaster McKean says tho rush of busi ness hi his office exceeds that of any previous day in its history. Valentine's Day, or Christmas or New Year's do not begin to approach It In the quantity of matter to be bandied by the postoffice force. FIGURING ON MAJ0SITDZ8. Chairman Shields Perfectly Confident of the Election or Paulson. Chairman Shields, of the Independent Committee on Organization, had passed be yond the region of doubt yesterday, and was simply figuring on Pattison's majority. He expects Allegheny county will give the Democratic candidate 5,000, and the State anywhere from 25,000 to 40,000 majority. Mr. Shields said: "Our latest reports from the country districts are remarkably good, and we could not ask for anything better than the reports from the city. Every thing is in good shape, oar organization is perfect, and there is no question about the result. "The point has been raised that a man who votes for Pattison cannot vote at the next Republican primaries. This is untrue. All a man will have to do at the primaries will be to pledge himself to vote for the nominee." WILL TURN OUT TO-NIGHT. A Parade of Democrats and Independents in tho First AVard. The Democrats and Independents of the First ward will meet at the Duquesne schoolhouse this evening at 7 o'clock, and join the First AVard Pattison Club in a street parade. The Cathedral Band will lead the procession through the streets of the ward and then over the main streets of the city. The Democrats of the ward claim that they will give Pattison the largest majority ever given to a candidate for Governor in that district. The following is the line of march. Sec ond avenue to Market, to Liberty, to Sev enth, to Grant, to Fifth, to AVashington, to AVylie, to Fifth, to Market, to Penn and thence back to the schoolhouse. A PROHIBITION RALLY. The Result of Ono of Two Temperance Meetings Yesterday. Samuel Haines, of New York, made the principal address at the meeting of the Moorhead AY. C. T. U.. last night. A. M. Brown, President of the old Murphy Gospel Temperance Union, and Robert Fellows also spoke. Over 300 men attended the meeting. ( Mrs. D. Swoger, President of the Alle gheny AY. C. T. U., led the Sons of Tem perance meeting at C8 Ohio street, Alle gheny, Inst night. T. Hershberger, L. Mosscr, AY. Zeigler and J. Jack made pro hibition addresses, and the meeting was turned into a Prohibition rally. CONFERRING WITH WORKERS. Mr. ninn Says tho Organization is Perfect, and He is Still Confident. Chief Brown and Mr. AVilliam Flinn re ceived a n amber of Republican workers in the Chiefs private office yesterday. The whole afternoon was devoted to these con ferences. Mr. Flinn said last night: "Our organiza tion throughout the county is better than it has been before, and is better in the city than in any previous campaign, with the possible exception of the Gourley campaign. A number of city employes will vote for Pattison, but that we have known for over a week. AVcare in good shape and confident." HASTINGS WON'T BE THERE. Republicans Looking for Another Man to Talto Uls 1'laco To-Nlght. Morc than one politician and the reporters looked in vain yesterday for General Hast ings at the various hotels. He spoke in Braddock Saturday night, and is billed to appear at the Republican mass meeting at Old City Hall to-night. An intimate friend of the General was found late last evening who said that Hast ings was not in Pittsburg, and he would speak no more here this campaign. The query now is: AYhat has become of the Adjutant General? HIS CHANCES IMPROVED. Mr. ITartman Feels Sure Phillips AVill Win the Congressional Fight. Henry Hartman, of Beaver Falls, left for New York last evening. He says he will come back in time to vote if he has to walk. Mr. Hartman thinks T. AY. Phillips' chances for Congress have improved very much in the last few days, and he now has no doubt ot his success. As for the Sena torial fight with Sam P. AVbite and Colonel Hawkins in the field, the only result can be the election of a Democrat. This Senator will vote for two United States Senators. Meeting of the Cleveland Society. The annual meeting of the Grover Cleve land Democratic Society, of Allegheny county, will be held this evening at Hous ton's Hall, Forty-ninth and Butler streets. The society was organized November 4, 1889, with 25 members. The roll shows now a membership of 143 voters. Sanderson is Hopeful. Deputy Attorney General Sanderson has finished his work on tbe stump, and will leave for Harrisburg this afternoon. Mr. Sanderson is not furnishing figures on the result, but he claims Delamater will be elected. Going Home to Vote. President Harrison and Attorney General Miller will pass through Pittsburg this evening, bound for Indianapolis. They are going home to vote. Displaying trie Returns. Early, complete and accurate election re turns will be displayed on The Dispatch bulletin board, Smithfield street, to-morrow evening. , ' By the Receipt of Circulars From a Detective Agency Threatening Action in Court for VIOLATIONS OP THE LOTTERY, LAW. Packages of Tobacco, Accompanied by Tickets Calling- for Priies, Pat Under the Counter. SOME THIKK IT A BIT OF JEALOUSY. Ksaafsctnnrs Trtehg tht Hatter sal Premiss Boss tloasl Rtrclt. The retail tobacco dealers of Pittsburg are pretty thoroughly scared over the receipt of circulars threatening them with prosecution for violation of tho new anti-lottery law. Most of the retail dealers have been handling some brands ol tobacco with which prizes are offered. Tho bags of tobacco oon tain numbered cards and a certain number of cards, oracomplolo series of tlietu, calls for a watob, pipe, or otbor prize. Theio schemes of Introducing brands of tobacco have seemingly caught ou' greatly, and nearly all of tho dealers haro a stock on hand. On receiving tho circulars inrao of them wore very scared and put tho tobacco under their counters. The oiroular If signed by AY. P. IIozcn, Superintendent ni llszen'i Peteotlvo Agency, Cincinnati. It reud'i as follows: Tho antl-Lottory Association has been or ganized for tbe purpose of securing tho prose cution of all persons violating tho anti-lottery law recontly passed by tbe United States Con gress, and prosecuting all persons who, as prin cipals, or as aiders and abettors, seek: to in crease tho sale of tobacco, baking powder, waMhes, candy, or other articles of merchan dise by any lottery or scheme of chance. WAItNINQ OP FHOSECUTIONS. Tho nndcrslgnea has been employed by said association to prosecute persons violating tbe laws of your State, a copy of which Is herewith inclosed, against lotteries and schemes of chance. You are hereby notified, if engaged in tbe sale of any article of merchandise pnt on the market by persons, partnerships or corpora tions who agree to give tbe purchasers of said articles money, watches or property of any kind, by means ot any lottery or scheme of chance, nnless tbe same Is discontinued you will be prosecuted for violation ot the law. Each tobacco man is puzzled to know why he in particular was sent the intended warn ing, and that by a detective agency. Some have an Idea that the circular is a scheme pushed by rival tobacco firms. Others think it may be the work of tbe big Southern lottery company, which hopes by such means to make tbe new law so odious in its application that it will be repealed. ONE FIRM REASSURED. Browne Brothers, the Smithfield street dealers, were among those who received the circulars. They were in a quandary what to do in the matter until Mr. J. A. Barry, tbe general agent for one firm offering prizes with its tobacco, called at the store. Mr. Barry assured them that the circular was harmless, and that there was no danger in selling the tobacco. The tobacco was then again pnt on sale as before. A number of other firms visited by Dispatch reporters have not yet decided whether to run any risk in the'matter. Mr. Barry was seen later by a DISPATCH reporter. He said he had been notified of the deluge of circulars being sent to Pitts burg, and had hurried on from Philadel phia to counteract their effect. He learned that Indiana and Delaware, as well as Pennsylvania, are being flooded with the circulars. He said that no information could be obtained regarding tbe prime movers in the scheme to stop the sale of such tobaccos. All that is known is that Hazen's Detective Agency is taking the in itiation in the crusade, so far. AYho the Anti-Lottery Association represents, or whether it exists at all, Mr. Barry says, can not be ascertained, though detectives have been employed for that purpose. The detective agency has brought action at different times and in different States against tbe tobacco companies, but has not yet secured a conviction. In no instance, up to the present time, have tbe attacks been directed toward the retail dealers. A grand jury in AYbeeling refused to return a true bill, and a case brought to the courts in Cin cinnati was dropped. Another case, now pending in the Cincinnati courts, has been postponed from time to time and is still iagging along, with no definite action. SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENT TS AWAITED. Hazen's Detective Bureau, of Cincinnati, is reputed to be managed by responsible persons, but it Is tbe secret motive, if nny exists, of tho employers of the agency, to which the tobacco firms interested nro now directing their attention. Some sensational developments are promised in the future. On the other hand, it is asserted that the Anti-Lottery Association is a reality; that certain men have banded themselves to gether to see the precepts of tbe new law carried out to the letter. If this be so, then there still comes the hltrh ns to whether the law affects the methods of introducing goods referred to. A test case may soon be made, the contest carried to tbe limit, and the whole inwardness ot the detective agency's actions laid bare. AVILL BUILD AT ELLW00I). An Englishman Going Into tho Enameling Business llore. , Benjamin Baugh, of Birmingham, Eng land, went East last evening. He is en gaged in tbe enameling business in his country, and after looking over the ground he has decided, in connection with some Philadelphia capitalists, to build a plant at Ellwood. . Mr. Baugh said be was anxlons to estab lish a branch of his business in America. The McKinley bill has fixed the tariff at such a rate as to make it possible for him to locate here. He says the plant will be a large one, and as tbe business of .enameling iron and steel is constantly increasing, he hopes to reap good probts out- of bis venture. DOGS 'THAT EOLL HIGH. ' ' Two of the Shepherd Breed That Traveled in a Pullman Car. ' Two men, as many boys aud two dogs oc cupied a chartered Pullman car' on the eastern express last evening. One of the men was James Campbell, of England. He had been in the AYest and purchased two valuable shepherd dogs. Such animals are usually glad to occupy a corner in the baggage car, but these curs were- particu larly lortunate. The colored porter made up Serths lor them at night, and their owner held two first-class tickets for them. It is seldom that dogs travel in such ele gant style, but it must be Baid Jbrthem they were nice and well-behaved. Kan Into the Arms of the Police.

"The railroads of the country would make more money if they carried less traffic," said a freight agent yesterday. 'That may sound like a strange statement, but it is true. It is on the same principle of giving a man too much work to do; he can't do it well, and he is liable to become rattled and do nothing. The roads all over tbe United States are rushed, and they are feeling very independ ent. "Take the Ft AYayne, for example. If a car of freight is started here for Chicago it should get there in three days, and the car could be back in Pittsburg in four days more with a return load, but with the crowded condition of the road you can't hope to have freight reach the AVmdy City Inside of eight or nine days. There are so many trains that they impede each other's progress, and the equipment is tied up longer than it should be. The through pas senger trains aro side-tracked with great regularity to allow the freights to pass and get out of the road. AYhat is true o( the Ft.

Mr. Barley Itelates an Incident of I-lfo In the Feud Country. E. C. Darley, of Roanoake, Yd., and his wife, registered at tbe Duquesne last even ing. He says he hasn't been in the South for several weeks. He was worried about young Norris Watts, a ton of Sir Edgar Watts, who was shot in the groin by a cracker while in tbe mountains at Cumber land Gap a few days ago. Mr. Darley, as tho Southern representative of J. P. AYitherow & Co., is building some furnaces for the English company at Middlesborough. When he arrived here be received a telegram stat ing that young AYatts was not dangerously hurt aud would recover. "This shooting of Mr. Watts," said Mr. Darley, "only illustrates the devilishness of the natives living in the Xentncky moun tains. Tbe boy was returning home across the hills from a visit to Captain Livingston, when a fellow came out from a cabin and shot him. The boy managed to drag him self back to his friend's house, where he was cared for. The South is growing, and these people resent the introduction of civiliza tion. They don't like to see good people coming into the country, for they know they must get out." Some months ago Mr. Darley's son was crossing the mountains on horseback when a native stopped him, and leveling a ride at bis head asked for the time of day with an oath. Young Darley had met this kind be fore, and answered his question without a kick. Tbe bushwhacker drew in his rifle and started on his way, feeling that he had done a great thing. This is the style of Southern braggadocio. HIS AVOEK THE HARDEST. One Business Man AVlio Has No Hankering After Wining and Dining. "And what does your partner do?" asked one business man of another, yesterday. "Ob, he does the wining and dining and I attend to the affairs of the office," answered the other. "You can rest assured I prefer my end of the work, and the man who im agines ;uy partner has a snap Is very much mistaken. I couldn't stand it more than bnco a month, and then it takei me a week to recover. But his part must be well done in these days of close competition. It is a rare man, indeed, who can' close a contract for $500,000. He may never be seen in the office groaning over figures, or trying to get in enough money to pay off the bands, buthe is hustling, and, besides using his head, be is forced to call into action his stomach, and the eating is tho hardest part of the job." "Is much wining and dining necessary?" "Oh, yes, my boy. It is an old saying that a man is easily reached through his stomach, and it is surprising how much tickling the palate with wines and dainties will accomplish." CAUGHT IK THE ACT. A Southslde Lad Discovered When Abont to Commit a Felony. Conrad Felt, a boy about 17 years of age, was locked up in the Twenty-eighth ward station bouse last night on a charge of enter ing a building with Intent to commit a fel ony. About 6 o'clock in the evening some one entered the house of AVilliam Beese, an iron worker, who lives on Berg avenue, and commenced to ransack tbe rooms on the jecond floor. The people in the house were alarmed by a noise, and called for assist ance from the neighbors lo find ont who the intruder was. Miss Mollle Beese was frightened into hysterics by the excitement, and is now ly ing in a dangerous condition. In the mean time tbe lad escaped by Jumping through a second story window. Oue of bis pursuers shot at him, bnt missed his mark, and Offi cer Slattery arrested him later. He gave bis name as Conrad Felt SUPPOSED TO BE CABUZE. An Italian Answering His Description ITeld at Lock Haven. Inspector McAleese received a telegram from Chief of Police AVestbrook, of Lock B?avec, stating that he had captured an Italian tbcre whom he believed to be Fran cisco Caruze, a Pittsburg Italian, charged with murdering Francisco Galln, also a Pittsburger, near Steubenville last Monday, The description of the suspect tallies exactly with that of C.irnze, and he was on his way to Lock Haven when he left Steubenville. Sheriff Curtis, ot Steubenville, was also notified of tbe arrest POLES LN A BOW. A Sunday Morry-Makcr Has His Jaw Fractured. A number of Poles had a keg of beer 'yesterday on the river bank at the foot of 'Fifty-fourth street While they were im bibing a fight occurred among them, during which a man named Walistz received a severe scalp wound and had his lower jaw fractured. Walistz went to Dr. Gardiner, who at tended to his injuries, and though he told the physician bow he had been hurt, he re fused to give tbe names of bis assailants. He lives on McCandless lane, Eighteenth ward. BLED DT A FIT. The Dead 'Body of George Tacnndls Dis covered at Semple's Mills. George Tacnndis was found' dead yester day morning in an outhouse at Semple's Mills, on tbe Pittsburg and Western Ball road. Tacnndls was not a resident of the place. He was addicted to drink, and when under the Influence of liquor, .was subject to fits. It is sup'posed that he was suffering from one of these attacks when he died. DIED WITH THE DAT. Charles Fiscber Strangles Himself in Bis Room, by Means of a SILKEN STRIP AND THE BEDPOST. He Packed Away His Effects and Went Methodically to Work, WEITING LETTERS TO HI8 FRIENDS "Mein GottI er 1st todtl" It was Mrs. Barbara Boschat who gave utterance to this heartrending exclamation last evening when the.door ot a room on the third story of No. C33 Smithfield street was burst in, and the dead body of Charles Fi'cbcr discovered lying on the floor, and hanging by the head from the bed post. Fischer was. n printer employed on the Freiheit's Freund. He roomed with an other man named Ansley, at the place named, and according to the evidence of bis landlady, Mrs. Boschat, was a quiet man, though rather given to outbreaks of drink ing. Thoso would be followed In turn by fits of melancholia, but during the two years that ho resided with Mrs. Bosobat be had never evinced any disposition tolnjuro him self. On Saturday nltilit Fliherhad been drink, lng a Utile, and returning liomo had hnd n restless fit, wandering abont tho top floors, and behaving In n more or less erratlo manner. Finally his landlady succeeded In inducing him to go to bed, where ho re mained until 10 o'clock yesterday morning. HE 1101HIOW8 A BKYOLYXB. At this tlrao ho was seen by young Boschat, who found him calm, and giving no sign of bli grnvo determination. Fisher's roommate went out, leaving hint alone. Toward eveping tbe deceased went into the adjoining room nnd asked tbe occupant Alexander Jtont to loan him a revolver, ns ho wanted to kill himself. Bent laughed at him, never supposing he was serious, and said he had none. Half an hour afterward Mrs. Boschat, who had freaucntly made him friendly visits, rapped at bis door,and re ceiving no reply, as related, pushed in the door. It yielded slowly, as if some weight pre vented it from opening. Jacob AYalter, a brother of the landlady's, and her son, rendered assistance, and the door was opened sufficiently to allow a glimpse of the room. Mrs. Boschat peered in, and exclaimed: "My God, he is deadl he is lying on the floor." Through the rapidly gathering gloom of the evening the dead body of Fischer was discovered suspended by a strip of some silk material from the post of the low wooden bedstead. DEATH MET DETEMINEDLT. He had removed his coat, vest and shoes, and had goue to his death with determina tion. It must have been a lingering one, as the body rested on the floor, and it could only have been by violently twisting tbe improvised rope around bis neck and throw ing his weight against it, that he could have succeed in strangling himself. He had packed away his effects in his trunk; put bis books away carefully in their accustomed case, and then had written two letters. One of these was to the foreman of the Freiheit'a Freund, which he had afterward destroyed, and the other was to his landlady asking him to in form his brother Frank,' at Edgewoodville, Pa., of the fact of his death. This request was complied with last night by telegraph. Fischer was a native of Switzerland, about 30 years of age and unmarried. He was a small man, with a rather heavy face, light complexion and wore a slight mus tache. He was about ten years in this country and a member of German Typo graphical Union No. 9.

DECIDED AGAINST BBENHEH. Tho Single Tax teaguers Prefer to Vote for Walzcll. At a meeting of the Single Tax League, held at their rooms, 04 Fourth avenue, yes terday afternoon, the following resolutions were adopted: WnEKEAS, Mr. Brennen, the Democratic candidate for Congress, has frequently declared during tho proent canvass "that the tariff was not In the canvais." Whereas, We, as Single Tax men. believe not only In freo trade, but we understand that tho Democratic party are committed to the cause of tariff reform ever since they adopted tbe principles enunciated by the Illustrious Orover Cleveland in bis historic message of 1887, and we believe that the question of the tariff is tho truo dividing line between the Bepublicans and the Democrat on n.ittonal issues; therefore, Ilesolved, That In our opinion Mr. Brennen does not rcpresont Democratic principles, and If wo mint vote for a protectionist wo prefer to support a representative who has tho courage of bis convictions ratber than a man who, If ho has principles on tho subject, is afraid to proclaim them. Resolved, We will oursolves, while support ing tho Democratic State ticket, voto for Mr. Dalzell, and recommend men of single tax and free trado proclivities to do likowise. HE TOOK THE ODDS.
