RECEPTION OF THE GEASTS IX PAEIS.
Fauis, May 3. The details of the labor
trouble at Fourmies immensely heightened
the political importance of the incident.
The fact that six women, several children
and eight men were killed on the spot, while
20 were seriously wounded, several fatally,
gives the affair the character of a massacre.
The soldiers were merely exposed to stone
throwicr, but they replied with successive
volleys from their new Lebel rifles, inflict
in" frichtful wounds on their victims. The
houses exposed to the fire were riddled, and
there is every sign that reckless and wanton
inhumanity was shown by the troops.
The local popular commotion is intense,
and it finds a response in the growing ex
citement in every working center. Four
mies to-night ts practically in a state of
siege. Cavalry patrol the streets, and are
everywhere greeted with yells of reproba
tion lrom excited mobs of men and women.
The tension of feeling may be judged from
the fart tint the military are hailed with
cries of "Vive Prussia." The funeral of
the victims was fixed lor to-day, but the
euormons number ot workmen arriving from
other industrial centers caused the govern
ment to send for reinforcements and to order
the postponement of the luneral until to
morrow. Constans Ittamed for the Slaughter.
The prefect to-day relnsed to receive a
deputation asking for the removal of the
regiment that fired upon the crowd. A
section of the Left, and the Socialist and
Boulangist deputies join in demanding a
vote of censure against M. Constans, Min
ister of the Interior, as responsible for the
slaughter. A motion to that effect will be
made in the Chamber ot Deputies to-morrow.
A majontv of the Right and Left
approves generally the measures of repres
sion taken by M. Constans throughout the
countrv, but will advocate an inquiry into
the conduct of the troops at Fourmies. Par
liamentary circles view the aifairas shaking
the position of the ministry. Labor centers
throughout France are profoundly moved,
and public meetings lice and at Marseilles,
Lyons and elsewhere are being organized to
protest against the precipitate action of the
authorities.
The movement of the German and Aus
trian Governments to isolate France com
mercially begins to alarm the French min
isteis more seriously. Dispatches from the
French embassy at Vienna state that Ger
many has opened negotiations with Russia
with the view ot arranging for Russian co
operation in the projected commercial union.
Concert with Russia, at first sirrht. amiears
improbable, but under the German-Austria
treaty, provision is made to treat othet
powers reciprocally. Both countries can
offer Russia the benefits of a-differenti.il
tariff. Switzerland and Servia will send
delegates to the Viennaeommercial Con
ference. Russia hastfeen invited, but has
not yet replied, yr

Minister to Austria, and Mrs. Grant have

A.'ter Minister Reid presented Colonel

FBINOE BISMARCK'S VICTORY
Compared to That of Bis Predecessor It Is
Nothing; to Boost OL
Beklix, May 3. Prince . Bismarck's
victory in Geestemunde is modified by the
fact that he polled 2,000 fewer votes than did
his National Liberal predecessor in the seat.
The Socialist ballot was reinforced by over
1,000 Guelphist and Freisinnige voters,
whose hatred of the Prince exceeded their
dislike of the Socialists.
The Prince, in an interview on the eve of
the re-ballot, declared that if he went tb
the Reichstag he would never attack any
policy directly initiated by the Emperor,
and that his line of conduct would be
the same as that followed by him since
he left Berlin. He was convinced,
he said, that the greatest danger to
the Fatherland was not from without, but
from within. Ho would not refrain from
exposing it, but he certainly would never
sav anything to give his opponents reason
lo charge him with attacking the Emperor
from personal motives. This sort of assur
ances promises lively times in the Reich
stag. Prince Bismarck to-day received a depu
tation lrom the National Liberal Committee
at Geestemunde. He accepted the mandate,
and thanked the delegates warmly for .the
honor which had been conferred on him.

LITE SEWS FROM THE TflEEE STATES
tSraCTAZ. TILIOKAM TO THX DISrATCK I
Scottdale, May 3. To-day has been
one of unusual quiet in the coke region, not
the least disturbance has been reported from
auy point Several local meetings were
held at various place;, but all was orderly
and entirely void of any undue excitement.
Reports at the coke offices indicate that a
large number of the old men' will return to
work to-morrow at some places, as many as
25 are expected. Tne labor leaders are
stoutly denying the report sent out yester
day that the men at the Brownfield had
voted to return to work on the secret ballot
held Thursday evening. They say the vote
was to remain out and was unanimous.
Every man present voted but one. Secretary
Parker says the man have ail been supplied
with food to last them a week and if the
works resume before an agreement is made
it will be through the aid of Italians and
not the former men employed there.
The meeting held at the Painter plant
yesterday from which the labor leaders ex
pected so much failed to accomplish
the desired end. The men employed at the
plant remained at their work dnring the
whole time the meeting was going on, not
one of them indicating a desire to attend
aud instead of the majority of the men
quitting as was expected aud the work
crippled in rnnning, 17 more ovens were
fired, making 190 ovens more in blast.
There are 28 yet to fire when the plant will
be in full operation. This the company ex
pect to accomplish by Tuesday evening un
less some unforeseen cause interferes. As
soon as the Painter plant is under full run
ning headway another works of the com
pany will immediately be put in operation.
Just which one has not been announced, but
most probably the Lamont plant near
Uniontown.
May Rejoin the Strikers.
Two large meetings were held yesterday
afternoon and evening by Wise and Des
man, near Bedstone & Kyle works. The
object was to straighten up anv dissatisfac
tion at Bedstone as reported and to induce
the Kyle men to rejoin the strikers. The meet
ings were largely attended and reported by the
officers as having accomplished much good.
The reason submitted to the Kyle men why
they should desist from working was to have
been considered by tbem to-day at a private
consultation. , The outcome maybe their re
joining the strikers.
rne tick company continue to orinc in new
men; a car load. of 00 pasred through here Sat
urday evening for the Lelsenrlngs. The men
were all laree, able-boaled, sturdy looking fel
lows and had the appearance ot miners. Sev
eral attempts were made by the strikers to in
terview thein from the car windows while the
train stopped at the station here. Tbey re
fused to utter a word In response to questions
put to them. It is thought by their demeanor
tbey knew quite well what tbey wore being
brought to the region for, and were determined
to work regardless of the wishes of the workers
now on a strike. Two car loads are expected
to-morrow; most of tbem will be sent to Bed
stone and an effort made to resume there.
iArge Polish Celebration,
The Polish people of this neighborhood held
a large aemonslratlon in the Opera House here
this afternoon in celebration of the adoption
and proclamation .of the PoIl3h Constitution
of May 3, 179L There were near 1,600 people
in attendance; two-thirds of tbem were Foles.
Father Szmeigel, the Polish priest, assisted by
Fathers Lambing and Wertz, ot Dawson, had
cbarce of the ceremonies. Addresses were
also made by PoMmaster Stevenson and T. G.
Fleming, ot the Pennsylvania Railroad offices.
The Poles are thickly settled here and have
proved themselves the best of citizens. Many
of tbem are becoming naturalized and pro
curing property. Not one that has located in
this part of the region has been known to have
left for his native country after collecting a
good amount of uioney, as is the custom with
the Hans.
Before the opening of the meeting a large
parade was held on the streets, several hun
dred being in bright uniforms and carrying
banners. One was noticed to read, "For Lib
erty ard Freedom. Poles by Birth, but Ameri
can Citizens by Choice." This is supposed to
fully represent their feelings and to indicate
that they come here to stay and share and take
part In the Governmental affairs of our Coun
trv. Father Lambing, in recommending them
to our people as the class of persons we can
welcome to our shores, said that they were not
socialists, and gave that element a terrible scor
ing. He claimed himself. Father Szmeigel
and Father Wertz. ot Dawson, were the only
clergymen in the coke region that as yet had
dared to come rut publicly and denounce the
Anarchists and Socialists settling in the re
gion. The demonstration had no connection
whatever with the strike. Not a word was
heard spoken of It during the whole time of
the meeting.

GOODWIN'S FORGED CrjECKS,
CABEEB 07 A MAN WHO VICTIMIZED A
GBEAT MANY BAKES.
The Plausible Story He Told Many People
About His Wealthy Connections In Eng
landHe Pretonded to Be a Physician
and Did Praetico Medicine.
Btbacuse, May 3. Dr. B. C. Goodwin,
who haB been arrested in Cincinnati, charged
with forging checks on various banks
throughont the country, one of which,
signed J. P. Rickman. had been honored at
the State Bank of Commerce of Henderson
ville, N. C, has a local history of romantic
interest. Goodwin excused his crime on
the ground that expected remittances from
his family iu England having failed him,
he was driveu to desperation. The occasion
of his neglect by his" family, he said, was his
secret marriage two .years ago to Mits Bab
cock, or Syracuse.
Goodwin lived in Syracuse a short time
previous to his marriage, which, as a matterof
tact, was not Miss B ibeock, but Miss Amy
Giffbrd, niece ol John Babcock, an insur
ance agent Miss Gilford was the daughter
of Harry Gifford, formerly of this city, but
now of Chicago, and niece of Miss Gifford,
the American sculptress, resident in Borne.
Her marriage to Goodwin was a hasty
affair, and followed closely upon a divorce
from a former husband with whom she eloped,
Goodwin- had been forbidden the honse by
the relations of the girl, but he persuaded
her to marry him clandestinely, he believ
ing that she was an heiress. The ceremony
was performed at St. Paul's Cathedral one
morning by the Bev. H. P. Fuller, the
assistant rector.
Goodwin is a man of good address and
evidently of respectable parentage. "While
here he was in extreme impecunious circum
stances, but had a knack of making loans
from friends without exciting their suspi
cion. Alter his marriage to Miss Gifford he
boasted or having made an alliance with a
leading family and attempted to trade on
that fact. "When he left here with his wife.
it was with the announced intention of go
ing) to his estates in England. Though let
ters were subsequently received from him
postmarked London, it- is believed he went
directly to Richmond, Va., where he had
previonsly been and sent the letters to Lon
don to be remailed. He pretended to be
and may have been a doctor and essayed to
practice here. He was also employed as
clerk in the office of a local manufacturing
company. Since leaving Syracuse it is
known that he practiced medicine in the
South and later in Chicago. He has lately
been going under the name of K. C. Holstou.
He has been a fugitive from Hendersonville
since February, when his forgeries were dis
covered. THE WEEK'S CLEABAKCES.

LATIN-AMEBICAN XBASE.
Somo Reasons 'Why Merchants of This Cour.
try Do Not Get Any.
Washington, May 3. The Bureau of
the American Bepubllo furnishes the fol
lowing extract from a priv.ite letter from
an old merchant in Honduras, which con
tains suggestions to exporters in this country:
Thef exists another reason that cnnld be
well added to those yon elve for the failure of
the merchants of tbc-Unlted Stales to capture
the Latin-American trade. TLat they do not
send out reliable agents, who can speak tho
langnacro aud are well acquainted with
the habits, tastes and wants of
tho people. Enzllsh and German
bonses avail themselves of the services of
such men and the consequence is thoy get busi
ness. As an Instance of this, a few months
since a commercial traveler came to this city.
He represented several manufacturers and
shipping houses, three German and two
English. He staved in the city two weeks and
solo 545,000 worth or goods.
He had been about 12 months on his journey
tbrongb Venezuela, United States of Colom
bia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras, and
In that time he sold more than $1,000,000 worth
of goods, as he proved to me by bis order book.
He was golnc from here to Salvador, Guate
mala ana Mexico, and said be expected by tbo
time he reached the end of his route to have
sold 1500,000 more.
Stoning Church Windows.
Detectives Bobinson and Demmel ar
rested three newsboys named Fitzpatrick,
Donovan and Sussono for throwing stones
at the windows or tbe Third Presbyterian
Church, nn Cherry-alley, last night. They
were placed in Central station, but were re
leased later by Chief Brown, who lectured
them severely. """
MANY BILLS KEMAffl.
The House Will Hare Considerable
Senate Work to Pass Dpon
DUEING THE WEEK TO COME.
Candidates Thick for the Kepablican State
Chairmanship.
TREASURER BOriSR NOW TO THE PR0KT
rraoK x stjut conaaspoirDiotT.i
Hauuisbubo, Hay 3L Special calendars
of Senate bills will take up a great deal of
the time of tbe House this week, and the
discussions on second reading, which have
so delayed business, will likely break out
afresh. " Usually the House has been cred
ited with putting through the crude and ill
considered measures of tbe session, aud tbe
Senate has been depended on to lick them
into shape or defeat them. But now it is
claimed that tho rule has been reversed, and
that the Senate has dumped a lot of useless,
if not mischevious legislation into the
Honse, believing that the most of it will get
its quietus there.
Itiajt fact that "Senatorial courtesy" has
been pushed to its furthest limit this win
ter, aud that many bills which should have
been promptly defeated, have slipped
through, to clog the calendar and delay
business in (he House. There is consider
able complaint about it, and the knife is
said to be ont fora number qf measures. All
of this will delay necessary business.
Plenty ot Talk; Ahead.
There will be oceans of talk, amendments
galore, .refusals by tbe Senate to concur,
conference committees, and consequent roll
calls, all of which will consume valuable
time. It is possibly too much to hope tnat
a Legislature will some day be chosen which
will deal with measures solely upon their
merits and the need for them, but it Would
be an auspicious day for the Commonwealth
when such a plan was inaugurated.
There hre a number of important meas
ures on the calendars of both branches. The
conference committee's reports on the Pitts
burg street bills, the appointment of a con
ference committee on the road bill, the Al
legheny Judgeship bill: and the bill to in
crease Judges' salaries, are all measures
which will have to be acted upon this week.
It is promised that the Taggart tax bill
aud the Baker ballot bill will both be re
ported to the Senate by Tuesday or Wednes
day, and their importance will, or at least
should, insure their speedy consideration.
The bill creating a banking department
comes over to the House, but is to be
amtnded in committee, in accordance with
the changes mentioned in The Dispatch
last week. As it passed tbe Senate it was
a rather dangerous measure.. The Brooks
wholesale license bill has a hearing on
Tuesday. v
Antl-Dlscrlmlnatlon Outlook.
Poor "Anti-Discrim"has a rather gloomy
outlook before it. Although it stands lonrth
on tbe list of second reading bills, yet there
is bnt one session set apart for that calendar
the coming week, and that after revenue and
appropriation bills have been disposed of.
Even if they are gotten through with,
there are enough postponed bills on second
reading to prevent its beiug reached, if, as
was the case the last time the ill-starred
measure was on the calendar, they are called
up and considered.
There are about 80 bills m the Houso.Ap-
propriation" Committee yet To be consid
ered they must; get into tbe House very
soon. Most of these, of course, are bills
which are deemed least meritorious and
have been kept until the necessary ones
were disposed of, and will now probably
come ont with a neg'tive recommendation.
This may mean trouble for some of those ap
propriation bills not yet passed. Hitherto
there has been no opposition, as every fellow
who had got bis bill into the House was
satisfied, while those whose bills were yet in
committee dared not vote against any, lest
theirs shonld be jumped on when they did
get out. But once they ore negatived, the
disappointed ones have nothing to lose and
will donbtless take their revenge.
The Candidates Are Thick.
The Chairmanship of tbe Bepnblioan
State Committee is a topic which is just
now causing more discussion than who shall
be the candidates ou the State ticket this
full. Candidates are thicker than hopsnd
seem to spring up from ali quarters of tbe
State. In addition to those who have been
already named, it is claimed that there are
fully 60 waiting what shall be deemed an
auspicious moment for springing" their
boom. Among these are, it is said, at least
six of the 31 Republican Senators.
.Representative Baker's candidacy is
fairly launched, and seems to have more to
come and go on than those of most of the
other gentlemen who have been named for
Chairman. But he is not going to have
plain sailing.- Despite his statement that
he is "no man's man," the rumor gains
strength that he represents the Cameron
Cooper interests, and, all reports to tbe con
trary notwithstanding, the senior Senator is
not in good odor politically at present.
Jack Robinson In Opposition.
It is loudly whispered, too, that Senator
John B. lvobisou views Mr. Baker's candi
dacy with growing dls'avor, andeven thinks
that if the State Chairmanship must goto
Delaware County, there are certain other
people within its borders just' as well quali,
iied lor its duties as is cither Jesse M. Baker
or Thomas V. Cooper.
There is one man who is being quietly
boomid for the place, and that is Henry K.
Buyer, present State Treasurer. He is
joung, full of push, popular, and hi g a
wide acquaintance throughout the State,
