Field Marshal Prince of "Wales having
graciously condescended to express regret
for his schare in the scheme to keep
Colonel Sir AVilliam Gordon-Cumming's
misconduct from the knowledge of the
military authoritiei, the matter is at an
end. so far as that part of the baccarat
scandal is concerned. The Radicals will
endeavor to keep the thing alive by asking
unpleasant questions in Parliament, and a
lively debate is assured when the army
estimates are again before the Honse, the
intention being to note to reduce the
estimates by the amount of thePrince's pay
as Field Marshal and Colonel of several
regiments. But nothing more substantial
than fun will be gotten out of the busi
ness. The fun promises to be somewhat satirical
in character, as Mr. Labouchere intends to
tay a good word for the Prince, on the
ground that the poor man lives habitually
in such an atmosphere of boredom that even
baccarat should be permissible to him as a
relief. But the cynical member for North
ampton will not obtain much support from
public opinion, w hich continues to be ex
pressed through the customary channels
strongly against the Prince's Gambling pro
pensities. Wales Will Live It Down.
The Trince has evidently resolved to live
the scandal down. He has accepted several
invitations to public ceremonies and his en
.-cements alreadv include the opening of
a convalescent hospital and several schools, J
The rumor that he has consented to take the
chair at the annual meeting of the anti
gauibling society is unfounded and mali
cious. On Wednesday evening, however, he did
resume his role as the model prince and the
patron of science. The occasion w as the
centenary of Faradav 's birthday, and agreat
crowd of England's most eminent scientific
men assembled to do honor to "The Bac
carat" and to Faraday. This order of
precedence is strictly correct, and it is con
firmed by the fact that all the newspapers re
port the Prince's prosaic remarks verbatim,
and nearly all summarize in a few lines a
remarkable oration delivered by Prof. Lord
Rahleigh, in honor of the great chemist,
electrician and philosopher. The Prince'
was received with much enthusiasm.
Two short speeches v hich he delivered were
punctuated by cheers, and no one sniggered
when he gravely expressed regret that he
had no time now to pursue the study of
chemistry, which was the delight of his
youthful days.
The newspapers have been less polite
than the scientific audience, and one has
gone to the length of suggesting that the
Prince might find room in his traveling
trunks for test tubes, as well as for baccarat
counters.
A Had Defeat for the Tories.
The dreadful dullness of the House of
Commons was relieved Thursday night by
the stand-up fight between the Government
and the opposition, in which the former
was defeated all along the line. Among
the delegates to the Berlin labor conference
none was more enthusiastic than the
British in support of the proposal to raise
to 12 j cars the age below which children
should not work in factories.
The British delegates included Sir John
Gorst, an Under Secretary of State, and he
told the House of Commons that in support
ing the proposal referred to he was acting
upon the express instructions of Lord Salis
bury. But when philanthropic enthusiasm
had had time to cool down, the Government
fonnd that the Lancashire mill owners and
operatives were dead against the age limita
tion, and as these people possess and con
trol many votes, they were able to compel
the Ministers to take the disgraceful course
of swallowing the pledges solemnly given
in the Mght ol Europe.
The Liberals sought to. insert a clause
fixing the disabling age at 11, but the Gov
ernment would not accept even this mild
compromise in the face of the opposition of
the Lancashire Tory members, who, by the
way, were led by Lord Oranbome, the eld
est son of the Prime Minister.
The Government's Broken Fledges.
No arguments, properly so-called, were
put forward frjom the Ministerial benches.
AH that the Home Secretary could urge in
excuse for the shameiul breaking
of pledges vas that no coun
try had yet carried out the recom
mendations of the Berlin conference, and
the House showed its opinion of the Gov
ernment's disgraceful conduct by voting the
new clause by a majority of IS. A mighty
cheer, recalling the lively fighting days of
the earlier sessions of this Parliament, went
up from the opposition side whe"n the num
bers were announced, and the good Liberals
went home to bed to dream vain dreams of
general elections and Liberal ministries.
The Government has been thoroughly dis
credited, as well as defeated, but it is need
less to say they will hold on to their seats
with a firmer grip than ever. They have
placed an electoral weapon in the hands of
the Liberals, hon ever, which -rill be used
with formidable effect .when -the lcg de

layed opportunity shall come. The scene
in. the House of Commons was of a character
to strike the popular imagination and to Bet
thoughtful and moderate men thinking.
Sir John Oorsfs Stinging Ecbnke.
The tellers for the new clause were
Thomas Burke, Radical Labor member, and
Sir "William Houldswortb, an honest Tory
member for Manchester, both of whom sat
in the Berlin conference, and, with their
colleagues, pledged England to a limit of 12
years for child work. Sir John Gorst,
Under Secretary for India, who was Eng
land's chief delegate at the conference, had,
early in the evening, in response to argent
calls from all parts of the Hpuse, given a
passionless statement of the facts as to what
took place at Berlin, which proved more
demoralixing to the Government than all the
arguments and rhetoric of the Liberal or
ators, and when the division was called he
walked out of the House without voting.
The tellers against the clause were the
official Government whips, who all the
evening had been driving In reluctant Tories,
and succeeded in mustering 189 votes only
by threatening that the Government's defeat
might be followed by a dissolution of Par
liament, Costly Blundering of Matthews.
The retention of Mr. Matthews as Home
Secretary has long been the greatest mys
tery in British politics. He is thoroughly
unpopular in the country. Some of his
colleagues detest him, and only
Lord Salisbury, who raised bjm
from obscurity to high Cabinet
rank, professes to love nim. Hcis the most
unsympathetic of men, and, as far as the"
world knows, possesses no brilliant quali
ties calculated to compensate the Govern
ment for the numerous blunders of which he
has been guiltv. Here is an opinion of Mr.
Matthews, which his conduct in the House
of Commons Thursday night has provoked
the Daily Tdegraph, a strong supporter of
the Government, to utter to-day:
Wo do not suppose for a moment that Mr.
Matthews was conscious while ho spoke of
the hard and pitiless tone of his own words;
but to anv one who bore in mind that he
was talking, not or machines, hut of the
young flesh and blood of the manufacturing
counties, his sentences must have sounded
more like those of an ogre than a Christian
statesman.
Cruelty to Factory Children.
The Liberals, supported by a few kind
hearted Tories and Liberal Unionists, were
endeavoring to insert a clause 'which would
prevent sordid Lancashire operatives 'from
putting their children to work before the
age of 11, and Secretary Matthews was
horrified at the idea. He gave no thought
to the little children, numbering nearly
200,000, whoie parents, under the present
law, are permitted to send them to the mills
at 5 o'clock in the morning, winter and
summer, but he was filled with righteous
wrath at the bare suggestion of taking the
earnings of their small hands out of the
pockets of fatben and mothers.
As already stated, the House of Commons
took the more humane view and defeated
the Home Secretary and the Government.
No self-respecting minister would remain in
office a moment atler such a snnb, and a few
people who assume that Mr. Matthews
really has some sense of personal dignity
are talking of his resignation to-night, for
getting that he has been similarly kicked
and cuffed upon at least a dozen occasions,
and seemed to enjoy it.
A BIG RESERVE FUND.
THE BANK OF EN GLAND NOW HAS THE
X.AKGEST .SINCE 1870,
Money Is a Drag in the London Market

Hope Sending in Gold Small Business
on the Stock Exchange.
BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, June 20. The reserve of the
Bank of England is larger than at any time
since 1879, after the liquidation following
the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank,
and money is a drug at nominal rates of interest-
Discounts for short and three
months bills opened this morning at 1
per cent to 1 per cent and closed weak at
1J. Money was in quiet demand at three
fourth per cent in the morning, but unlend
ableat one-half per cent before the banks
closed.
Although Austria is endeavoring to accu
mulate gold for currency reforms, and 2,
000,000 will shortly go to Russia, while the
German exchange is at the gold point and
shipments from London to Berlin imminent,
vet it is probable that the bank rate will be
further reduced before the turn comes, for
over 1,000,000 is stated to be on the way
from Australia and India, and the Cape is
sending in gold.
But financial ease has failed to bring
higher prices and stock exchange business
here and on theContinenthasdwindledaway
to the smallest possible dimension. To-day's
business on the London Stock Exchange
was probably the smallest in vears. The
shares of many English railways have
reached this week the lowest prices of the
year and the market for the bonds of foreign
Governments has been dull and weak since
the bears in Paris and London closed their
accounts. French rentes are indeed strong,
but their price is no longer an indication of
the prevailing tendency of the Bourse.

DOWN THE BLITZ DANUBE.
American Canoeists to Traverso the Entire
Length of the Biver.
tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, June 20. Poultney Bigelow, of
the New York Canoe Club, with Alfred Par
sons and Frank D. Millet, left London to
day for the sources of the Danube in Baden
at Donaueschingen, with the purpose of tra
versing the entire length of that river from
the Black 'Forest to the Black Sea in
canoes. The three canoes are identical,
those o'f Parsons and Millet being modeled
after Bigelow's Caribee, in which that en
thusiastic canoeist has already cruised all
over North America, the West Indies and
half of Europe.
, As the first 100 miles of the Danube are
full of rapids, which the canoeists must
shoot, they will send on their sails and all
heavy traveling utensils to a point where
the stream becomes better navigable,at Ulm.
The three men intend to sleep and cook
aboard of their canoes, which are furnished
with tents that may be rigged when the
weather U bad, -Their .object in making the
pie $m$mx& iffpatdj
trip is to produce an article for Sarper't
Jlmltdy, for which Bigelow will supply the
text and Millet and Parsons the illustra
tions. They estimate that the trip will take
three months, and Bigelow says that it will be
the first time the river has been thoroughly
done since the Crusaders went down trom
Ratsibon in search of Turks, and that the
Caribee is the first boat to fly the burgee of
the New York Canoe Club on the Danube.

THE GREATEST COMMEBCIAL. TREATY
ETEB CONCLUDED
Quietly Negotiated and Now an Accom--
pllshed Fact Germany, Austria, Hun

Other Powers.
Copyright 1831 by the New YorkAssocl&ted Press.
Beblln, June 20. The formation of a
great central European customs league is an
accomplished fact, acknowledged by the
official circles. The exchange of com
munications between Germany, Aus
tria. Hungary, Italy and Switzerland
has resulted in the basis of an
agreement which became known here to
day. Interest In the realization of the most
formidable zollverein ever conceived will
overstep that in every other public matter
when the scheme is generally published. In
the meantime the official circle alone knows
that the negotiations have attained a defi
nitely successful stage.
The terms upon which commercial union
was agreed are meant to be held secret until
after the plenipotentiaries prepare the draft
of the treaty. A conference for 'this pur-
Sose has been arranged to meet at Berne
uly 20. The leagne is to be an intimate
commercial alliance, in which no one of the
contracting powers will be privilegedto
form a trade treaty with any other outside
the union until it first obtains the assent of
the other parties to the alliance.
It is understood here that the Govern
ment has obtained the consent of the Fed
eral States of Germany to a denunciation
of the treaty of Frankfort, and to accept
whatever consequences may arise from the
hostility of France to such a course. The
existence of the league will naturally affect
the trading relations of the four contract
ing powers, with France, England, the
United States and every quarter of the
globe. How far their independent action
will be controlled, depend upon the nature
of the decisions of the Berne conference.
I AND MY PEOPLE.
The Emperor Closes the GerxnanXandtag by
a Characteristic Speech.
Beklln, June 20. The Emperor closed
the Landtag to-day in a characteristic man
ner. He congratulated himself and the
country on getting from the upper and
lower Houses of the Landtag all that his
Ministers had demanded. His references to
the projects which had been forced upon the
upper House were listened to in gloomy
silence.
Touching upon ecclesiastical affairs, the
Emperor said he noted with pleasure that
the restriction to the Catholic church of the
clerical stipend', which had been stopped
during the kulturkampf, was resulting in
an essential advance of the settlement of
difficulties between the Church and the
State, and'also in the maintenance of relig
ious -peace. In the sinule concluding nass-
age of his speech, alluding to the foreign
situation, His Majesty said: "Considering-
tnat tne session now aoout to ciose nm uc
attended with fruitfal results, I and my peo
ple may cherish the hope that these results
may be turned to good account while we
continue to enjoy thf blessings of 'peaoa,
whiclfThavo no reason to apprehend Avill
be imperiled, and the preservation of which
is the object of my unremitting endeavor."
A CRISIS IN ITALY.
It "Will Occur "When the Kingdom Joins the
Triple Alliance Once More.
BT CABLE TO TBS DISPATCH.
Loudon, June 20. There is reason to be
lieve that Italy has not yet formally re
bound herself to the Triple Alliance,but it is
bevond doubt that she is about to do so.
"When that has been done there will be a
ministerial crisis in Rome. The majority
of the Cabinet favors the Triple Alliance;
but on other matters the opinions of the
Ministers are hopelessly divergent
The Minister ofFinance in particular has
caused more trouble than all the other
members of the Cabinet put together. He
is still feverishly seeking to establish a
financial equilibrium and has submitted
during this month alone no fewer than. 30
distinct proposals for raising money, of
which his colleagues have approved only
two. The rejection of each proposal has
been automatically followed by the tendering
of Signor Luzzati's resignation, and this
has been invariably refused by King Hum
bert, who will not allow a ministerial crisis
to occur, so long as the new Triple Alliance
shall remain incompleted.
OUR SAVIOR'S SEAMLESS COAT.
A Venerable Bella, to Be Exhibited at the,
Treves Cathedral.
Beblin, June 20. A great religious
function will open a Treves August 25
when the rarely-seen "Holy Coat" will be
exhibited in the Cathedral of St, Peter and
St. Helen to the Catholic faithful during
six, weeks. The "Holy Coat" is a relic
which has been preserved with the greatest
reverence in the Treves Cathedral for many
years, and is esteemed as its greatest treas
ure. It is alleged to be the seamless coat
worn by our Savior. It is said to have been
discovered by the Empress Helena during
her memorable visit to Palestine in the
the fourth century.
Miraculous curative properties are as
cribed to the relic. The exhibitions have
always been attended by almost countless
throngs, and an enormous influx of pilgrims
is expected in August

AN APPEAL TO FISTS
Barely Averted &i a Meeting of Fay
ette County Democrats.
COL. SEAMGHT BADLY DEFEATED.
Knocked Out at Every Point in an-Attempt
to Secure Control,
TOUNG SEABJGHT STARTS A BAD HOW
r SrlCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.
Uniontown, June 20. Factional ele
ments cut a high figure in the Democratic
County, Committee, held in the Court House
here this afternoon. Colonel T. B. Sea
right, acting as a substitute for a Third
ward committeeman, although he played a
very conspicuous part in the meeting, was
knocked out in every round. The election
of a County Chairman was effected without
ajar, D. "W. McDonald, Esq., being unani
mously re-elected. "William Graham was
elected Secretary, also without opposition.
"When the roll was called, it was found
that only about three-fourths of the voting
precincts in the county were represented in
the committee, there having been no elec
tions held in the primaries. Squire Cotton,
of Dunbar, thereupon moved the committee
proceed to fill the vacancies.
Colonel Searight moved to .amend by
oflering a resolution that the committee fix
a time in July at which the Democratic
voters of the .vacant districts should elect
committeemen to fill these vacancies. J.E:
Stillwagon, of Connellsv ille, moved to lay
Colonel Searight's resolution on the table.
This brought about an animated discus
sion, in whieh it was plainly evident that
the anti-Searight element controlled the
committee.
. A Crushing Defeat for Searight.
Searight made a lengthy speech, in which
he implored the committee to sustain his
resolutipn. He admitted that the rules of
the committee were against his position,and
that the committee should fill its own
vacancies, but argued that this was not Jef
fcrsonian Democracy and that the election
of these vacancies should be relegated to
the voters of the precincts. He was-
very demonstrative in his attempts to
enthuse the committee in his behalf,
but all to no avail. He vehemently
demanded that the jeas and nays be
given on Stillwagon's resolution. They
were taken, and the result was 52 yeas and
12 nays.
This complete defeat of Searight was
wholly unexpected on his part, and leaves
him with very little following in the
county. The truth of the matter is the
younger element of .the party has taken
control, and are determined to make him
take a private position in the ranks. This
defeat of the Colonel is considered a rebuke
to the State administration for allowing
Searight to control the patronage from this
county.
An Appeal to Fists Averted.
"When 'Squire Cotton offered his resolu
tion to fill the vacancies in the committee,
William Searight, a son of the Colonelj and
who was not a member of the committee,
shouted to the 'Squire: "You're not a Dem
ocrat, you're a Prohibitionist,"
The 'Squire indignantly replied: "My
Democracy has never been questioned, and
whoever savs it was is a base fabricator."
and at the sam, time several members of
the committee and several members of the;
audience veiled:
"Put that ninny out; he is not a member,,:
0tC Vi AAmmintf f'
John Boyle, a member of the committee,
was foremostjn the denunciation of young
Searight's interference, and had it not been
for friends, who got between them, a bloody
battle would no doubt have been the re
sult. All the vacancies in the committee were
filled with anti-Searight men; and out of
the 100 committeemen Searight has only
about ten. As this committee will elect the
delegates to the State convention of this
and next year, no Searight man will appear
among them.

County Committee Meeting.
fSPECIAL TELEOnAM TO THE DISPATCH.J
New Castle, Pa., June 20. There was
a red-bot meeting of the Lawrence County
Republican Committee here this afternoon.
It was the first meeting held by the commit
tee elected at the spring primaries, and was
for the purpose ot forming an organization.
The old McDowell-Phillips Congressional
fight broke out anew with all its intensity.
The first battle was caused hy the ex
Secretary being refused a vote on the
ground that there were charges instituted
against him. This caused a long debate,
and some warm words were passed between
the members. John Sword, a Phillips
man, was nominated for County Chairman,
and the McDowellites put up H. "W.
Griggsby. The vote stood 15 to 15; count
ing the ex-Secretary's vote, he being a Mo
Dowcll man. The presiding officer ruled
out this vote, giving the election to Mr.
Sword by a vote of 15 to 14. The Phillips
men then easily elected John "W. Steen
Secretary and Hiram G. Miller, Treasurer.

the soldiers and business men in tho western

from Republicans in many of the middle

and so tar am well satisfied with the results.
It is a well-understood fact that Captain
Morrison has the support of Senator Will

Marshall, of Allegheny, seem to be specially
enthusiastic over Captain Morrison s candi

as he chatted at the hotel, He said:
I think there is no doubt of Captain Mor

fitness for the position of State Treasurer,
coupled with his personal popularity, has

Campbell's Friends Allow the Primaries to
Go by Default A Beport That McLean
"Will Support Campbell Foraker Says
Sherman Will Be He-Elected.
TSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE PIBPATCB.J
Cincinnati, June 20, Governor Camp
bell's friend? let to-day's primaries go by
default. The result was therefore known.
There was scarcely a vestige of a contest
and where there was one it was between
rival factions ot the gang. Three or four
Campbellmen may be counted among the
82 elected, but their presence there is due to
the eccentricities of politics and they won't
be counted when the delegation is
pollecV In the "Kid Glove" wards, where
propesijrliwners, business men, representa
tive citizens and people of prominence re
side, it'os a very light vote for the gang
candidates The same conditions existed in
the wards largely populated by home
owning laboring men. But in the "Tender
loin" and "Bowery" precincts, the vote
was satisfactory to the Duckworth Club,
Louis Reemelin, Lewis Bernard, Billy Pat
terson and other philanthropic and high
spirited citizens under suspicion.
Down in the Eighth ward Billy Patter
son, a delegate "who was being left by
another candidate, became virtuously in
dignant at the goings-on and insisted fraud
was rampant To correct the evil, he
started into purify the ballot box by whip
ping the judges, clerks and all concerned.
The police were called, but the trouble
blew over and some ballots blew away.
It is being told to-night on very respect
able authority that McLean has informed a
friend of Campbell that in the event the
latter is nominated the "Enquirer will sup
port him, and he (McLean) will contribute
to the campaign fund.
"Sherman will be re-elected."
This statement comes from the lips of
none other than the redoubtable ex-Uover-nor
J. B. Foraker, the man who captured
the Columbus Convention, and, despite all
reports to the contrary, succeeded inliaving
the senior Senator of this State turned down
in his effort to be made chairman of that
meetinor of Eenublicans.
Thatit will be a surprise to many there
can be no doubt, for there hra cone abroad a
popular impression that Foraker himself
was not averse to accepting me Deuuiorsmn.
"Is thisj talk of harmony wellfounded?"

"In one of the morning papers, Gover
nor, there is a statement or rather a strong
leader in the interest of Senator Sherman.
Is there anything significant in that?"
Mr. Foraker smiled as he prepared to
answer the question whieh evidently
amused him. "Oh, nothing hut a very
natural tribute from Richard Smith to his
life-long friend. It doesn't mean anything
beyond that. The Senatorial question win
not be raised in our camp until the proper
time arrives for its consideration. Then, of
course, Mr. Sherman will be re-elected.
General Grosvenor always takes an active
part in Ohio politics and his recent troubles,
arising out of his indiscreet utterances on
the immigration question, have caused a
great deal of amusement. It leaked out to
day that one of the delegates to the Ohio
convention which nominated Major Mc
Kinley for Governor telegraphed to an
official of the Treasury Department as fol
lows: Tell Secretary Foster to keep Grosvenor in
Europe until after next November, It will
only cost $8 a day and expenses, and if tho
Government cannot afford it, we will pay the
overtime, as it is worth that much for the
sake of Keppbllcan harmony in Ohio.
As there is no one more anxious to keep
Grosvenor out of Ohio at the present time
than Secretary Foster, it is safe to say that
if the ex-Congressman sails it will be for a
long trip.

'Mysteric-us Fight at an Unoccupied House,
on the Jersey Coast.
ONE UNKNOWN ASSAILANT SHOT
(SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THEPISPATCIT.
Spbino Lake, N. J., June 20. During
an encounter with two unknown men in the
woods immediately behind Life Saving Sta
tion No. 8 at Como, on the Jersey coast, a
deputy United States Marshal, known here
as Max Freeman, who has been in this vi
cinity for some time searching for Gideon
"W. Marsh, the fugitive President of the
Keystone Bank, was seriously injured in
the spine by being struck by some heavy
-instrument.
Freeman has for some time been watch
ing the house owned by H. H. Yard, in
which some of tha Johnstown sufferers
were accommodated immediately after the
flood. The house is situated in one of the
loneliest parts around here and is unoccu
pied, although furnished, having been left
so by Mrs. Dr. Gage, who lived there last
summer. Yesterday afternoon Freeman
found one of the windows of the house open
and, on searching the house, he discovered
that a bed on the second floor had been
lately occupied, and articles of clothing
were scattered around the room as if they
had been thrown off in a hurry.
To Investigate in the Dark.
Freeman determined to watch the house
and visit it later in -the evening, and, in
accordance with this plan, he secured a
buggy, and along with Tim Hurly, the
driver, and Michael Sexton, a constable.he
drove to the place about 10:30. Arriving
there, the horses were tied to a tree in the
dense forest and the three men . began to
move cautiously toward the house. After
going a few yards Hurly stopped andwhis
pered: "Don't you see something moving in
Iront?"
Hurly was right, for slipping from tree to
tree in the darkness two men were seen
moving toward the house. The party then
separated, one, the constable going to the
back of the house, Hurly staying near the
outhouses, while Freeman went forward to
the front of the house determined to find out
who the two men were. Arriving at the
porch, the strangers had disappeared and
Freeman walked softly toward the window,
which he had closed in the afternoon and
which was now wide open.
Fired at and Struck.
"While standing examining the window a-
man, tall, clean shaven and heavily hunt,
rushed to the front of the porch and fired
at Freeman, who had hardly time to fire
back at his assailant before a second man
struck him with a heavy instrument on the
base of the spine and then ran toward the
woods. Freeman fell on his face from the
porch, and as he did so cried out to Hurly:
J "Come quickl There they go, into the
woods.
"While lying on the ground Freeman emp
tied his revolver at the two men One of
them fell on his knees, but immediately
jumped up again and made for the woods.
Hurly and Sexton followed for some time,
but finally came back to where Freeman
lay. They picked up Freeman and dragged
him to the porch, Sexton remaining vylth
him while Hurly drove away for a doctor.
Tim Hurly, the livery man, in telling of
the adventure, said: ""We got up to Como a
little before 11 o'clock, when we tied to a
free. Freeman told me to stay by the out
house. Then he put Sexton at tne back of
the house. I saw two men moving in front
of the house and told Freeman. He said:
Wait, and ifyon hear any row come run
ning up.' Freemen then went slowly
toward the house, and I followed about ten
yards behind. "When he got into the porch
and was looking at the window I heard a
shot and saw Freeman fall.
One of the Men Was Hit.
"He then called out, 'Hurry up! There
they are,' and, crawling on his belly, he
kept firing his pistol at the men. I ran for
ward into the woods as far as I could go,
and heard a voice say:. "My God, I'm shot.'
Then I heard Freeman calling for help, and
I ran back to him and went for Dr. Trout.
I'm sure one of the men was shot, because I
heard him groan, and I should know one of
the men again if I saw him. Freeman lay
on the porch until Dr. Trout came. Then
he was conveyed to the town in a stage."
This evening Drs. Trout and Kirkbride
examined Freeman, and said he is suffering
from a severe concussion ot the spine, in
volving the interior column of the cord,
causing partial loss of motion of the limbs.
They say he will be confined to the house
for same time.
FOUGHT IN MTDArB,
Two "Workmen on a tofty Tower Engage in
a Perilous Combat.
SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO TBS DISPATCH. 3
Napoleon, O.', June 20. A blood-curdling
fight occurred here last evening on the
roof ofthe tower of the new County House,
125 feet above the ground. John Young
and Fred "Whyell were at work on the very
highest point when a quarrel arose over the
possession of a hammer. "Words soon grew
into blows, and, after a few passes, the men
clinched and a desperate struggle began.
The men writhed and strained for life. Now
one, then the other, was forced to the edge
of the roof where he could look down at
death. Hundreds gathered to see the awful
contest, but the men, unmindful of shouts,
fought on.
At last the men tore themselves apart
and began again showering blows upon
each other. Young was knocked headlong
toward the edge, but by a mighty effort
saved himself and struggled to his feet,
when he again clinched Whyell, and after a
furious struggle forced him to the floor and
choked him into unconsciousness. The
effort was so great that Young was himself
exhausted, and when other workmen reached
the spot both contestants had to be lowered
to earth by ropes. Young caused the arrest
of "Whyell, who this morning was found
to be the aggressor, and the Court sent him
to Jail for W days.

A PITTSBUSaER'S PROJECT.
He Is to Establish an Immense Iron Works
at Once on tha Padflo Coast.
rSPZCIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
San Francisco, June 20. Charles J.
Eames, of Pittsburg, claiming to represent a
Pittsburg syndicate, has inaugurated a
movement in San Diego to erect at once a
gigantic iron works plant on San Diego Bay.
He has received from the Chamber of Com
merce of that city.an assurance of a $200,000
subsidy. In an interview Eames says: "It
is a great privilege to be situated where the i
large cities and consumers of iron can be
reached by water transportation, and in
time probably reaching out across the seas
with our manufactured goods. Indeed,
wherever we may locate the plant in South
ern California, it is unquestionable that in
time San Diego itself must become the great
consumer orits raw products. On this.hay
will eventually be located the rolling mills,
with incidental ship-building yards, and a
snare in tne worK ot building battle snips
and
that I understand one of your California
foundries has oven now been invited iby the
Government to bid upon."
Eames has been prospecting in-Southern
California for weeks and claims to have
found iron mines in San Bernardino
county, with enough ore in sight to supply
the Pacific Coast for a quarter of a, century.
He also found valuable deposits in Lower
California. Eames says he willuise cruder
petroleum as the reducing agent.

AN ENORMOUS BOIEL
To Cover About an Acre and a Half
of Fourth Ward. Property.
A MAMMOTH EKTERPBISE AFOOT
To, -Furnish Pittsburg" With as Fine
Hostelry as Any City Has.
THE PROJECT IS NOW WELL UNDEE WAT
The big hotel for which Pittsburg has
prayed so long, and which has been built
many times on a variety of sites, more or
less airy, is really to rise in substantial
brick and stone at last. The site is tho
acre and a hall in the Fourth ward, upon
which now stands the plow works of jfcu
Speer & Sons. The amount of money it'
volved in the purchase of the ground and
the erection of the hotel will exceed ?1,000,
000, and may. run to $1,500,000. It is the
intention of the principals in this gigantic:
transaction to put up a hotel
that shall compare lavorably -with tho
best in the country, be it the, Audi
torium of Chicago, the Fifth Avenue
of New York, the Southern of St Louis,
the "Windsor of Montreal, the Palace of
San Francisco, or any other hostelry whose
fame is coextensive with that of the city in
which it is located. Although the Speer
property has been in the market, to soma
extent, tor quite a while, and rumor has
erected everything on it, from a drygoods
store to a theater, and from a church to a
hotel, the negotiations by which Messrs.
T)avid Shaw & Co. and Thomas H. Dickson
i'ned an option on the ground, some
8 ago escaped public notice, and the
V-el

projectors to set fonh their plans.
Pittsburg's Need of a Big HoteL
Mr. John E. Shaw, speaking for the firm
of David Shaw & Co.. and in the presence
ofMr. Thomas H. Dickson, said to a Dis
itATCJi reporter yesterday: "The need for
a hotel on a grander scale than any we now
have has been felt in Pittsburg for several
yean. The development of Pittsburg has
proceeded by leaps and bounds in almost
every direction, except as to hotel accomo
dation. In our examination of the real
estate field we have had the conclusion
forced upon us that there is nothing in a
strictly ligitimate way that Pittsbunr needs
so much as a big hotel. At the same time,
the objection 'to the majority
of sites which we and others
have considered for hotel purposes has been
their high price and cramped limits. This
has been the experience or individuals and
syndicates who have tried to supply Pitts
burg's patent need of a hotel, and it wa3
onr's till last month, when vt c obtained an
option on the property now covered by the
A.' Speer & Son's Plow "Works, fronting 240
feet on Duquesne "Way, with ample front
age on Fifth street and Penn avenue as welL
It is a clear acre and a half in extent, nearly
a perfect square, which will give us ample
room to erect as large a building as is
needed, and the fact that the property fronts
on one side upon Duquesne way,
on the other upon Fifth street, and indeed is
large enough to permit of light and air on
all sides of the building, make it partiw
larly desirable for hotel -purposes.
Won't Be Stopped "by She Veto.
'""It wo'wil have enhanced the valuer of the
Duquesne, Vay front, of -'W feet, if the
f Governor had seen lit to sign the wharf bin,
'1 Knf hio -DAt-i-v ifft 1 1 nnt intarfursi .with 4Kcb
but his veto will not interfere .with the
erection of the hotel in the leat. Thfejriew
of the river, with the allied advantages of,
pure and cool air, and sunshine which it as
sumes, must always bea most attractive feat
ure of the hotel. The improvement of the
wharf is bound to come in time, and it is true
that we had forwarded a petition bearine a
.large number of the best names in Pittsburg
to Hamsuurg, wnen tne news 01 tne veto
came.
"It is too early to speak of the hotel plans
in detail, but I can tell you that we have
300,000 actually subscribed, and the prom
ise of enough more to make it a certainty
that the amount will be $500,000. As soon
as the company is incorporated there will
not be the least difficulty in securing all the
capital required; indeed, the gentlemen
already approached are eager to keep so
good a thing to themselves. The plan is
subject to modification or enlargement, but
at present the investment of l,000;000n
considered sufficient to erect and furnish, in
a suitably handsome style, the
finest hotel building between New
York andN Chicago. The ground
is the largest, and most central of any hotel
site in the market here to-day, and thecon
tiguity of all the principal street car lines,
the theaters and the shopping district has
favorably impressed every capitalist vrhv
has investigated the matter.
Some of the Features Contemplated.
"A roof garden with a cafe is one of the
features that the new hotel will certainly
contain, and the shape of the site lends
itself to a number of attractive ideas, such
as an arcade entrance on Penn avenue, a
garden court within the hotel, and possibly
a hall large enough to be used for conven
tions, eta, as in the "Windsor Hotel, Mon
treal. The charter of incorporation will be
applied for in the near future, and in the
meanwhile Pittsburg may rest assured that
she will have as perfectly appointed
and as imposing a hotel as there is in the
country before very .loop The present
plan is to commence operations in October
next, and to have the hotel in thorough
running order by 1893 in time to' catch the
tide ot travel toward the Chicago "World's
Fair. The owners of the hotel will be rep
resentative of Pittsburg's interests 'in
cluding several of her leading manufact
urers and of them solely, so that the hotel
will be a local institution of real and last
ing value."
IS SLAYIN AN ARTIST!
His Presence Here May Lead to a Prose
cution Under the Contract Labor Law.
TSPECIAL TELEOBAM TO HB DISPATCH.
New York, June 20. Is Slavin, the
Australian pugilist, an artist? is the prob
lem that the experts of the Treasury De
partment have been requested to solve by
Chief Contract Labor Inspector Mulhol
land. In the official solution of the ques-,
tionDr. J. A. Dougherty, a rich young

terest than either Mr. Slavin or Mr. Mitch

an artist, the TJnjfcd States District Attor
ney for the county of Philadelphia may be
gin proceedings against the doctor for the
recovery of ?2,000 for violating the contract
labor law.
Inspector Mulholland's interest in the
matter was aroused on June 5 by a letter
from Mrs. Worrell, of Philadelpnia, who
wanted to know why it was that two En
glish professional pugs, Frank Slavin and
Charles Mitchell, can be brought to this
country "to appear in public exhibitions and
pugilistic contests under a contract with a
Dr. J. A. Dougherty, and allowed to violate
the law in its every meaning, when an
American lady cannot bring a servant from
Europe for her own use. Mr. Mulholland
sent Colonel F. F. Lee out to find Slavin
and Mitchell. All that he wanted was to
get an affidavit froin the pugilists to prove
the existence of a contract Mitchell said
that be was willing to make any number of
affidavits to oblige the Colonel. Mr. Mul
