Vashinotox, JulySO. The resignations
of Chairman Quay and Treasurer Dudley
from their positions on the National Repub
lican Committee naturally have been a pro
lific subject for gossip and conjecture
among the politicians to-day, and among all
clashes of them the opinion obtains that
it means something more than appears on
the surface. It seems to be decided by
those who should know something about
the matter that the resignations of these
gentlemen mean a fight from this time on
against the nomination of President Harri
son for a second term.
Little attempt is made among the close
friends of Colonels Quay and Dudley to
conceal their conviction that this is the
fact. Holding the positions they did Quay
and Dudley could not well eagage in open
battle against the "official chief" of the
Republican party. They were largely
responsible for the election ef Harrison,
and they hold the leadingoffices of the jrrcat
committee which should be logically the
mainstay of the administration.
nrDi.F.r disgusted with harbisox.
Colonel Dudlev has from time to time
freelv expressed his disgust at the mug
wump tendencies of Mr. Harrison. Senator
Quay, in frequently canvassing the Presi
dcntal probabilities of next year, has sig
nificantly refrained from naming Mr. Harri-t-.-m
as even a remote possibility. Colonel
CIarko:i. now the head of the committee,"
sx litsst until an election can ' be held, re
signed his position as First Assistant Post
master General because of his dissatisfac
tion -with the methods of the administra
tion, and, not being hampered as Quay and
Dudley were, will, it is asserted, second
the outside efforts of those gentlemen by
his work within the committee.
A secret poll of the National Committee
said to have been made recently showed a
majority opposed to Harrison's renomina
lion that almost amounts to unanimity. In
one way or another the President seems to
liave tramped on the toes of nearly every
Member. "With Conger, of Ohio, it was the
postoffice at Akron. With Tassett, of New
York, it was the postofiice at Kltnira, and
toon.
A SH.sri POLITICAL, move.
The President has only now taken the
first practical step to counteract his blun
ders by the appointment of Fassett as Col
lector of the Port of New York, an office
winch pa almost as good a salary as that
of the President. This is generally ad
iutttd to be an acute movement, and even
the anti-Harrison element cannot find fault
with the bright little editor from Elmira if
accepts..
Tills act mny possibly have the effect
to lioid New York in line for Harrison, and
that is of vnst importance. Hiscock, Pl-itt
ond Pas-sett will now rulo the roost. Ex

If this conviction be true, one of the
Trettie-t fights ever seen in this country
over a candidacy for the Presidency will bo

persons 11110111 he has appointed to office,

Anew ticket is being talked of among tho
politicians to-day. It is composed of the
names of Bluine and Alger. The Michigan
candidate has repeatedly announced that ho
would iicer consent to accepting second
jflflcc behind any man, however great, but
ullthei-Huichis ltiends and others feel con
lidunt that he would if attached to the tail
of a Blaine ticket.
THE IDEA OP CLAEKSCW.
Colonel Clarkson lias always been regarded
as an Alger boomer, although friendly to
Blaine, but it Is said by somo of his friends
that he has recently come to tho conclusion
that It would be useless to attempt to nomi4.
juiLt; .;i; owiw.ti uiuuiuitiu iui utu urst place,
and e-peclally in view of tho fact tliat
Blaiiiu has such a sure thing on the nomina
tion. But llLiine and Uger sounds Well
to the ears of many Republicans, and" the
members of the National Republican Com
mittee -who are at present In control seem
especially fond of it. Should Ill-health or n
mistaken sense of loyalty to Harrifon causo
Mr. Blaine to refuse to be a candidate, bow
ever, the Alger combination Is apt to bo
broken by tho appearance of McKinley in
the field.
Should tho Major carry Ohio this fall and
find the Presidental race an open one in
1S82, with Blame not in It, he would bo very
apt to come to the front and then Alger as a
M cstern man would not be ft possibility.
Blaine and Alger at present Is a favoiite
ticket with Maine Republicans.
To turn to the other-great party the Mary
land Convention to-day has aroused moio
Interest ontsido of Maryland than any
former convention of that State. It is be
lieved that it has rendered Gorman a Prosl
dental Impossibility on account of its
declaration against free coinage. No one
believes that Gorman did not control and
shape every feature of the convention, and
that the coinage plank In the platform is
notof his making, notwithstanding hisvoto
for free coinage In the United States Senate.

Philadelphia, July SO. Senntor Quay st
rlved In the city from Washington at 7
o'clock tonight. lie was accompanied by
his son. Hick, and Frank Willing Leach.
While at dinner thoywero J owed by General
W. H. H. Davis, of Doylestown. -Ceneral B.
Frank Reedcr, of Easton, and Christy C.
Knuffman, of Lancaster, were also early
callers. The Senator went out to make a
social call, and when ho returned he made
the remark that he had been detained longer
than ho expected to be. When asked about
his resignation as Chairman of tho National
committee tne senator sata:
"It was my intention to resign on the Sat
urday nisrht follow ing the Presidcntal elec
tion, but I was requested to hold on. and
at that time it was thought that the Demo
crats would attempt to steal Congress. I
agreed to hold on, on condition that the Na
tional Committee should not interfere with
the Congressional conventions of 1SE9, which
it didn't. I then made up my mind to resign
as Chairman on my return from Florida in
March. 1S90, but at that time the New York
lPorW began its attack on me and I could not
retire under fire 1 found that this was a
good time to withdraw and concluded that I
would do sn."
"But Senator, it was not your Intention to
withdraw from the committee altogether,
was it?" the reporter queried.
"I found that the only possiblo wny for me
to resign the chairmanship was to leave the
committee altogether, and that I concluded
to do."
"There has been some talk of your resign
ing from the Sonato also. Is there any truth
in that?"
'Not a particle. It is absolutely without
foundation, and Tom South denies that he
ever made such a statement."
"Do you know who your successor In the
committee from Pennsylvania will be?"
"I do not. I haven't given it a moment's
thought and know nothing whatever about
it."
"Do you know when your successor will
be appointed?"
"I do not. ne must bo appointed by the
delegation from the State to the National
Convention under the rule, I believe."
"Then he will not be appointed until after
the next National Convention, will he?"
"I don't know anything about It."

rSFECIAL TELEGKAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
New Castle, July 30. Tho Young Men's
Republican Club, of Lawrence county, with
a membership of over 700, met In their hall
in this city to-night. Nothing of a disagree
able nature cropped out, so It mny bo safely
said that the hatchet has been buried that
nourished so wildly during the -famous
PJiUltps-MoDowcll fight. Without opposi
tion the lollowing ell-known Republican
-n orkcrs "n ere elected delegates to the State
Convention: William D. Wallace, William
M. Brown and Captain J. C. Kuwer. A mem
ber then arose and presented tho following
resolution:
"ltetoH ed, That wo deplore the present
contest for the presidency of tho State
Leagno of Republican Clubs Of Pennsylva

the very serious deti iment of tho Republi

therefore. Instruct our delegates, this day

high character and his popularity and ser

party will commend him to the almost unan
imous sentiment of the League. In tho
e ont of his refusal to accept, then tho dele
gates are Instructed to exert their best
efforts to secure the harmonious election of
some other person."
Tho resolutions were passed unanimously
with a hurrah. Should Hastings refuse the
presidency, then the votes will go with tho
majonty, but hardly in the direction of Dal

rEPECIAt, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Media, Pa July 30. The Republican
primaries were held in Delaware county to
day, and tho convention of delegates to vote
their instructions and put a county ticket
in nomination meets to-morrow afternoon.
The result of the election shows that light
ing "Jack" Robinson Is still in the lead, nnd
that Cooper, Johnson and Baker must oc
cupy second place for a w liilo longei. There
were three candidates for dclo ate to tho
Constitutional Convention, from which two
wei-ctobesi'lected. One of these was Cap
tain Joseph H Huddcll, manager of Senn
tor Robinson's aggressive campaigns of 1S59
and lfc) when ho -non the Senatorial and
Congi cssioual nominations. Tho other can
didates were George F. Dailingtou, of
Media, and William Ward, of Chester, both
leading members of tho Delaware county
bar.
It as considered bv many a hopeless
task for Huddell to attempt to make the
nomination for any ofiicc against two such
popnlarnien. But he vent to work, and
through the Robinsonian machinery being
used in his behalf he has pulled through
though by a sm.ill margin. Darlington and
Huddcll will bo the nominees, tho latter de
icating Ward by nine delegates. William

WAsnnsGTOS, July 30. Thomas C. Piatt is

with regard to political questions generally.
J. Sloat Pnssett left tho city this eA cning for

said this evening that there would be a

that Special Agent a 8. Wilbur would get
one of iho Assistant Appralsersblps.
General Clarksou, who will assume
charge of the National Republican Commit
tee, will make his headquarters In New
York, having rooms engaged at the Plaza
Hotel. It Is rumored hero to-day that Sena

cessor as a member of the National Repub

this report is correct it will account for the
presence of Senator Cameron In Washington
during tho past few days while the Execu

A BOOM FOR GORMAN
ILL-CONCEALED IN MARYLAND DEMO
CRATIC CONVENTION.
Tho Senator Unanimously Indorsed forRe
Llectlon, With a Sentiment Visible for
Giving Him Higher Honors ITranlc
Brown, the Farmer Candidate, for
Governor.
Bamtmoue, July 30. It was well known
'that United States Senator Gorman Is a can
didate for re-election by tho. next General
Assembly of Maryland, and that his name
has been mentioned frequently for Presl
dentai honors. Attention has been centered
upon him In v tho State convention of his
party, which was held here to-day.
Although Senator Gorman was unablo to
be present, having gone to Washington last
night after several clays of conference nnd
friendly association with the County De
mocracy, tho convention was unanimously
for him, as Is shown by tho resolutions
adopted and the frequent and raptnrous ap-
Slauso whenever his name was mentioned,
ot only does tho platform recognize his
signal service to me .national uaiuwLtkvj,
but the special resolution Indorsing him for
re-election to the Senate gives evidence of
the esteem in w hich ho Is hold by the peoplo
of his native State.
The nl.itform comnares the orcsent ad
ministration to that of Grover Cleveland to
the advantage of tho latter, denounces the
force bill and condemns the McKinley bill.
Regarding silver it says: The power of
ConsrCss to coin gold and silver ought not
to be so exercised that gold coin or silver
coin will become a commodity and so dis
turb tho operations of trade, but in such
manner that tho dollar in gold coin and tho
dollar in silver coin shall he of equal ox
changeable value In all the markets of the
United States. Any attempt to depreciate by
legislation either or the metals ought to be
deprecated and condemned. The platform
expresses warm sympathy for the Hebrews
in Russia.
An additional resolution warmly eulo
gized Senator Gorman for his services In de
feating the force bill, and nominated him for
re-election to the Senate.
After the enthusiasm of tho convention,
aroused by the Gorman resolution, had
spent itself, Dr. Frank Shaw nominated
Frank Brown, of Carroll county, for Gov
ernor, having performed the same duty four
years ago. The convention went wild over
the "fanner candidate," and no less than
five speeches were made in seconding the
nomination, which was made by acclama
tion. The other nominations were: Marion
DeKalb Smith, of Kent county, for Stato
Controller: John P. Boe,. of Baltimore, for
Attorney General; and J. F. Ford, of St.
Mary's county, for Clerk of tho Court of
Appeals.
One speaker in seconding a nomination
prophesied boldly that "The leader in defeat
ing tho forcebill would be tho next President
of the United States."

Detroit, July SO. The dispatch sent from
here several days ago giving a summary of a
letter received from Hon. Joseph H. Man
ley, of Augusta.to Captain William A.Gavett,
of this city, in regard to Secretary Blaine,
has aroused sc much interest, and caused so
many Inquiries to bo made as to the authen
ticity of the communication, that a press

was a rest. He is gaining rapidly so much
so that It does not seem now as if be had
ever been sick. He will go back to Washing
ton this fall a much more vigorous and
healthy man than he has been for years.
Havu no fears about Mr. Blaine's health. Of
courso,w hat he will do about tncl'iesidency
I know not. I know this ho cannot be a
candidate, and you would not have him. If
the Republican party wants him, it shor.hl
mako it manifest and nominate him. I do
not believe he would decline this call. I
think this is all that ought to be said."

tSPECIU. TELEQHAJI TO THE DISPATCH.
. Mebcer, July 30. Politics in Mercer
county are very lively just now. The Re
publican primaries come off on Saturday,
and the fight over the election of delegates
to the Stato Convention is particularly
warm. The Soldiers' Orphan School Syndi
cate and their Iriends, headed by ex-Senator
George W. Wright, are after the scalp of
Henry Hall, who is ono of the candidates for
delegate. Mr. Hall is a pronounced sup
porter of Hon. JohnW. Morrison for State
Treasurer, but tho Syndicate, endeavoring
to take advantage of tho strong feeling for
Mr. Morrison in Mercer county, have, in the
last days of the fight, sprung the story that
Hall Is for Speaker Thompson.
Letters ore being sent from henchmen of
Senator Wright in Butler and Crawford
counties to tho old soldiers urging them to
slaughter Hall. The people aro not falling
into line on the syndicate's plan, however,
and it is tho general Impression that Mr.
Hall will down them on Saturday.

ATOUNG CANINE'S WOFUL EXPERIENCE
tSraciAT. TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH. 1
New York, July SO. The bear which was
roaming around on Gravesend Beach on
Tuesday night has given the families there
the biggest scare they have had since Garry
Katon's bear was at large threo years ago.
Katenhadtwo bears at his hotel at Conoy
Island. They vero chained to trees within
a few feet ot eaoh othor. Katen's guests
used to amuse themselves buying boer and
giving it to the bears, who would put It
down more quickly than any man could.
One of tho boars was killed after having
killed a man. Tho other escaped once, was
hunted for threo days and then was found
In the bullrushos at Gravesend Beach.
It is thought that the bear now loose Is
somewhere in the same bullrushes. Van
ClcefVoorhees, who lives on the mill road,
was the first person to see the bear on Tues
day night. He was sitting on tho front
porch near midnight, when he thought he
saw a black dog in tho road. Tho animal
seemed to bo too big for a dog, however, and"
Mr. Voorhocs got up and peered out into tho-
uaritness at it. lie tnen saw mat. it was u
bear, and ic bad a little black and white dog
in its paws. Mr. Voorhees did not stop to
look again. He ran through the hall to tho
yard and climbedover the fence.
THE BEAK AT PLAY.
William Morris, like Voorheos, a fisher
man, lives in tho noxt house. Voorhees
woke him up and both wont after tho boar,
which, by this time, had gone through a
cross street, and was in a lot SO yards back
of Voorhees' houso. The boar was playing
with the littlo dog. He would pick him np
in his front paws and walk along on his
hnnnches for 20 yards or more. Then he
would rest and amuse himself with knock
ing the dog about, whilo tho dog howled and
snapped.
As soon as Morris assured himself that he
had seen a real live bear ho started with
Neighbor Voorhees to arouse the neighbor
hood. First they went to Dick Hayman's
Toad house. They found four men thore,
but no gun. Then Copo Snedeker, who lives
close by, was aroused, and he got his rifle.
Cope's father set to work charging -his
double-barreled muzzle-loader. The hubbub
of voices aroused others, and there wore
eventually20menout for the bear. Several
had lanterns, and the hunt for the bear was
begun In dead earnest.
HUNTINO FOB THE BEAR.
The hunters went over to the spot where
the bear was seen and examined the tracks
carefully. They were boar tracks, sure
enough. Thore was a lino of pudgy de
pressions in the soft earth, each as big as a
silver dollar and half surrounded by three
smaller depressions. Tho hunters followed,
the trail for 200 yards and then It was lost in
a clump of bushes. The dogs which camo
with the party were set to work, but they
were evidently not bear trailers, as none of
them gave any sign of having struck tho
scent.
Then the party determined to go on a blind
searoh. They went down to the Brooklyn
Yacht Club house and suddenly all hearts
were stilled by somebody claiming he saw
something moving about the boats. There
was a fusillade, but nothing came of it. The
Earty began to break up then. Snedeker and
is father kept up the hunt till daylight, but
did not see the bear again.
A Tood many claim to havo seen tho bear
since that time. Mrs. Bailey, who Ilve3 near
vai Cleef Voorhees, says that she was
uTied from tho well Wednesdav nlirht bv
ilia ban-. It wasrbscqueritlv learned thnrf

A rSED-UP CANINE.
Tho little dog seen, with the bear belonged
to Mrs. Denman. Sho lives a block away
from tho place where tho bear was first
seen. Tho dog'arrived home on Wednesday
morning covered with blood. Ono of its cars
was lacerated and scratched, as if the bear
had hit himwithhispaw. A man who seemed
to be a French Canadian was anxiously m-
aulrinz for tho bear yesterday morning,
o had a long pole, such as men who havo
performing bears carry. Ho said that he
loll asleep in tho woods ;with his bear beside
him. When ho awoko the bear was not to
be found.
This man is the mnstenergetiobearhunter
at Gravesend Beach Just now. Ho fears that
hi9 bear will be killed on sight. The boar is
probably very hungry by this time and will
turn up soon. A reporter saw tho bear's
trucks to-day. The heavy rain had. partly
obliterated them. The reporter was hot on
the trail when tho tracks disappeared ab
ruptly In the smooth sand. Ho must havo
jumped out Into the load, and tho tracks
wore probably obliterated by wagons. If
the bcir is not heard from soon there will bo
an organized hunt for him.

story. The son alleges that some time prior
to January, 1884, his health became seriously
affected, so as to render it necessary for him
to give up his practice in Paris and remove
to Algiers. When his mother died she was
tho owner of a certain property and an es
tate nt St.Sorvian in Brittany.France, valued
at $16,000, and under the laws of .France the
eon, who was the only surviving child, was
entitled to half of this amount.
iThe complainant admitted having re
leased to his father all luterest in this prop
erty for a consideration, but claimed that
his father hnd entored into an agreement to
pay him 12,000 francs per annum. Tho copy
of this agreement he charged his father
with having since burned. For a time the
annuity was paid to tl.o complainant, but
for five years past it was claimed the father
neglected to make payments. The answer
filed to-dav denies that his son was forced
to leave Paris on account of ill-health, but
says his departuie was owing to misconduct.
The answer states: "In order to avoid
scandal caused by the conduct of my son, I
agreed to pny him 1,000 francs a month so
that ho could leave Paris, but I did not bind
myself to pay this for any stated period."
CATHOLIC INDIAN SCHOOLS.
Archbishop Ireland Has a Talk With Mor
gan, and Cardinal Gibbons Speaks.
WASHiKGTON.JulySO. Archbishop Ireland,
of St. Paul, called upon tho Commissioner of
Indian Affairs to-day and had an interview
with him, during whioh the recent action of
the Commissioner in deciding to maku con
tracts for educating Indian children in
Catholic schools directly with the schools,
instead of through the Bnreau of Catholic
Indian Missions, was discussed.
Tho Commissioner desires tho statement
mado that ho has received absoluto and
satisfactory assurances that no part of tho
money received by the Bureau of Catholio
Indian Missions from tho Govotnment for
the education of Indian children has been
used for the expenses of tho Bureau, but
that the entire amount so received lias been
paid to, and used by tho schools for which
it was Intended.
A dispatch from Baltimore says: Cardinal
Gibbons In an interview said: "I have every
reason to believe that tho President and
Secretary of the Interior are benevolently
disposed toward tho Catholic Indian schools.
Indeed on this point I speak advisedly. Wo
should remember that men in high places
have conflicting interests to subserve, and
they are required to consider the views and
demands, not of a section of the community,
butoftheentiro people."

REV. MR. TATE ACQUITTED.
THE AUDIENCE SANG THE DOXOLOGY
AFTER THE DECISION.
Close of a Sensational Trial That Has Up
set an Ohio Town Insufficient Evidence
to Convict the Minister Mrs. McCord
Will Appeal the Case.
'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCTT.
Sprts-'ofield, O., July CO. The trial at
Jamestown of the Rev. A. W. Tate for in
famous assault closed at a lato hour to-night.
The large Opera House, where the trial was
held, was crowded to its utmost capacity.
When the Judgo announced in deep tones
that lnsufqclent evidence to convict the ac
oused had been produced, a shout arose that
fairly shook tho building. After quiet had
been restored the Judge discharged the ac
cused, and, with a largo audience Joining In,
sang the long meter Doxology.
Thus closed one of the most exciting
events in the history of Jamestown. Mrs.
James McCord, a member of Rev. Mr. Tate's
flock, is the woman alleged to have been as
saulted. The Rev. Mr. Tate is a very promi
nent preacher, and tho editor of the Church
Videtta, a magazine. The trial, which was
in progress for two days, was attended Jay
an ecclesiastical committee, which heard all
the evidence of witnesses for both sides be
fore Justice Clark, of Jamestown. So many
people of both sexes were In attendance that
the trial had to bo conducted in tho Opera
House, the largest hall in the town.
Mrs. McCord said that tho Rev. Mr. Tato
made a call at her residence on July U, and
said he intended to stay ovor night. As sho
was passing him he caught her by the right
arm and tried to pnll her on his lap and em
brace her, but she fought him off until tho
lamp was upset, when ho let her loose to
prevent tho houso from taking fire, and
then ran away.
The Rev. Mr. Tato said that Mrs. McCord's
statements were untrue, and that she was
trying to malign him becauso she and her
husband had been expelled from the church
recently. Formerly they were good friends,
and ho often called at McCord's slnco tho
alleged assault. Mrs. McCoid says she will
appeal to tlfo Common Pleas Court. Tho
ecclesiastical committee has not reDorted.

in regard to the importation of skilled work

"Replying to your letter of the 21st Inst., in

"It Is not the practice of this department

'An aet to prohibit tho importation and mi

before me to express any opinion as to
whether skilled labor, for the St. Louis

A COAL FAMINE FEARED.
The West May Suffer for Fuel Noxt Winter
Unless Some Move Is Made.
fSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DI8PATOH.
Chicago, July SO. There is danger of a coal
famine hi the West this winter, the railroad
men say, unless prompt measuros aro taken
by local coal dealers to lay in their stock.
The reason for this is explained in the fol
lowing order to all agents of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul Railroad, which has
been issued by General Freight Agent J. H.
Hiland.
"You will also call the attention of coal
dealeis to the faot that if they don't lay in
their winter's supply within the next six or
eight weeks it is almost certain that there
111 be great suffering from lack of fuel be
fore the winter is over. Last year, in the
face of the comparatively light crop.
Western railways were unable to supply
the demand for cars. From information
now at hand it is evident thnt within
the next two months the demand for cars
will be greater than we can supply. A car
famine is highly probably, notwithstanding
the fact that wo are getting equipment as
rapidly as possiblo. It is not likely wo will
be able to supply our stations with fuel un
less dealers provide for the inevitable
emergency. Tho subject is of the utmost
importance, and agents are directed to re
port prompt action."
A MANIAC'S SUDDEN FREAK.
He Is Canght In the Act of Thrusting a Man
Into a Furnace.
Elgin, III., JulySO. A horrible crime oc
curred at the Northern Illinois Asylum for
the Insane, in this city, to-day. Tho fireman,
Georgo Lindsay, had for a helper John
Anderson, a quiet patient. Whilo they were
in the coal house, no others being present,
the lunatic, possessed with sudden madness,
attacked Lindsay with a heavy hammer.
Anderson was caught in tho act of thrusting
the unconscious and dying man into tho
furnaco fire.
Anderson's mania is of a religious nature,
and In the six years since he came from
Rockford he had never shown homicidal
tendencies. The Coroner's verdict holds
nobody to blame.

FRAUDULENTLY USING THE MAILS.
He Got Money on a Promise to Forward
Green Goods, but Didn't
OTHER SWINDLERS AT THE 8AME GAME
The aspirations of a young man in the di
rection of an easy if dishonest livelihood
were nipped in tho bud yesterday after
noon simultaneously with the nipping
of tho young man himself. Postofflco
Inspector A. M. Sproesser did the dual
nipping, and the bud may bo said to be
tho Registry Department of the Postofflce,
where W. B. Clay, alias Walter S. Myers,was
arrested, charged with using the mails for
fraudulent purposes. Mr. Clay, alias Myers,
was afforded lodging in the Jail, and what
ever ho can say in his defense he will be ac
corded an opportunity of doing this morn
ing before Commissioner McCandless.
A letter which Postmaster McKean re
ceived yesterday from a Mt. Pleasant
morchant shows that the real genus of
"green goods" operator he who will send
you the stuff on receipt of the order is also
abroad in the land. In this case New York
is the initiatory point, and George May, of
Darlington, Ala., the kindly philanthropist
who will supply the goods.
IN BUSINESS A8 AN AGENT.
Mr. Clay's scheme for providing tho
wherewithal may be termed a younger
brother to what is known as the "green
goods swindle." He was not in the
usiness of suddenly enriching a few
favored mortals in this particular
section of the country by selling
them $l,000worthof counterfeit greenbacks,
"made from plates engraved In the Treasury
Department,'' for $100 of the real stuff re
ceived. He was but the humble agent.
whose dnty It was to Inquire into tho wishes
of the community on the matter, and receive
orders to be executed by his principals.
His method of operating was simple, and
presumably effective, for the postofflco
authorities have been desirous of his ac
quaintance for some time, and his appear
ance is that of a young gentleman with good
credit at his tailor's and a balance at his
banker's.
3Ir. Clay arrived in this city last Friday
and lost no timo in getting down to busi
ness. Neatly wofded circulars conveyed
the intelligence that he was in a position to
furnish "green goods" at the rate of ten
bills for one genuine one, and these be sent
to selected persons. A sample of the
"goods" accompanied each circular. This
was anarrow strip of genuine money pasted
on paper, and "You Know," as Clay signed
himself, guaranteed to furnish goods equal
to sample on receipt of the money. That
was the extent of his scheme he got the
monoy. but forgot to deliver the goods.
The Postofllce Department at Washington
has been receiving comnlalnta forsome time
past, from various sections of the State, of
the malls being used for some such scheme
as Clay's. Harrisburg was the latest place
heard from, andfrom there Inspector Sproes
ser took up the hunt for the swindler.
WOKKING TJP A CLEW.
Succeeding in getting hold of a circular
sent to Philip Stahl, of Hanover, Pa., with
tho address "W. a Clay, Pittsburg, Pa.,"
posted on the back, Mr. Sproesser about con
cluded he had his vaan, arriving hero
Wednesday morning. Yesterday morning
he caused a regular notice of the arrival of a
registered letter to be mailed to Clay,
and then, with Deputy United States
Marshal Lew Garver. proceeded to
await developments. These commenced
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Clay called
for his mail, and, receiving the notice,
walked around to the Registry Department
for his letter. Ho was handed it, and. lmme--dLitelv'ottshrning'tho
receipt, was arrested.
Confronted with tho charge. Clay denied
tnnc was uis name, ana sata it was Jiyers,
and then declared that either name
was his. He said he was a waiter
in a Fifth avenue restaurant, and
lodged at the Anchor Hotel. Asked toname
the restaurant, he refused to do so. Ho was
then searched and a large number of letteis
found on him. The names of the writers
had been scratched out, showing ho was
awaro of the chances he was taking. One
letter, Irom Abbotsville, "Pa., was from a
sweetheart. The contents showed he had
been at school there and had resided thero
last winter. Inspector Sproesser's opinion
of him is that he is new at the business and
lias not made much out of it. If ho got fivo
or ten replies, inclosing from $2 to $5 each,
he was well repaid. He commenced his
operations in the East and never spent
more than ten days in any city, taking care
always to inform his customers that bis
stay in the city was limited to that time.
OUT FOR THE LONG STUFF.
Postmaster McKean yesterday received a
letter which shows that if Mr. Clay was pre
pared to act only as an agent, tho out-and-out
"green goods" man is also in the field.
Mr. James S. Braddock, of Braddock & King,
Mt. Pleasant, was a recipient of attentions
from these gentry a day or two ago. He re
ceived a letter inclosing a circular, an al
leged clipping from a newspaper, aud
slips directing him how to order
the goods if he elected to buy.
The circular was printed in typewriter
type, and was couched In the usual insidious
and porsuaslve phraseology of tho "green
goods" man. Did he want to spend his life
In a continual round of slavery, or was he
willing to become rich at very little trouble
and expense? Did he ever pause to think
how his neighbors acquired their wealth, or
consider how they got out of difficulties in a
very sudden manner? Was he in want of a
low tnousana uoiiars to iiue mm over tem
porary trouble, etc? Now was his time, the
cunnce oi a uietimo, etc., etc.
The newspaper clipping contained the re
port of a trial, in which a Charles Wilson
was sought to bo convicted of selling coun
terfeit greenbacks, but ineffectually, as the
Jury found it impossible to distinguish be
tween the spurious and the genuine.
Neither could the Court, and the story con
cludes with nn alleged Interview wrlth a
millionaire who, popular report bad It, had
become wealthy in a very sudden and mys
terious manner.
"When called upon by your reporter," tho
story ran, "tho millionaire got very angry.
He said it was no one's business but his own
how he got rich, and he declined to say any
thing about it."
No person who ever saw a newspaper
could ever have taken the "clipping," nnd
its story, too, for anything but an exceed
ingly bad imitation of legitimate work. One
of the slips ofpapor contained directions
bow to order. They were to telegraph to
"George May, Darlington, Ala.;" "Forw ard
at once;" tho message to be signed "Summer,
88. "and not otherwise. If these instructions
were not carried out no attention would bo
paid, etc, ns usual. The letter was post
marked "New York" and addressed as
stated.
A WOMAN'S CLEVER RUSE.
She Makes It Appear That She Was
Drowned to Cover Her Elopement.
TSrECIAL TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCH.
8 N Francisco, July 30. About two months
ago Mrs. J. U. Wlnninger, wife of a prom
inent business man of Woodland, Cal., was
reported drowned at Santa Cruz. Her
clothes were found on the beach and all the
circumstances pointed to suicide. Now,
however, tho -woman has been located in
this city with auother man and her husband
has begun divorce proceedings.
Tho case Is noteworthy because of tho
clever work by tho woman to conceal her
actions. She wnt to a seasidoresort for her
health in company with a female friend. It
was noticed that she was seen talking with
a man just before she w en tin bathing. Alter
that sho was seen no more, and the lact that
all her clothes were in the bathhouse led
also to the theory or suicide, Which was
strengthened by a letter left tor her hns
bund, saying she was tired of life. It ap
pears she was taken from the water bv her
lover in a boat and then secretly, in dis
guise, rcmovod to this city, where she has
slnco been living.

Boston, July SO. The Russian Hebrews
who arrived on the steamer NorsetuMi yes
terday, many of whom are detained by the
Immigrant Commissioner, have pitiful
stories to relate of the cruelties perpetrated
upon them by tho Russians. Ono lad who
refused to give his name for fear"of being ap
prehended and returned said he came from
alabotky. The Hebrews of his town, he
says, were ordered to vacate their houses
and betake themselves away, no matter
where. The maddened Hebrews set fire to all
their property and burned it, rather than
have it fall Into the bands of their enemies.
The Russians, enraged at this, set upon the
refugees and maltreated them by every
means in their power. One man was sus
pended by his wrists from a telegraph post,
where he hung for two hours.
All the families who had burned their
houses were arrested andconvlctedand sen
tenced to Siberia. The young man and his
father and brother were among the victims,
but s they were being marched through the
streets the narrator managed to slip his
hands through the handcuffs and escape.
He succeeded in Teachlnga friend in another

a Hebrew's house to be burned ovor his
head, or a Hebrew to be stoned on the
streets, and it has become a common saying
in parts of Russia, "Kill a Hebrew and pay
20 roubles ($10)." No other punishment is
ever Inflicted for the murder of a Hebrew,
and even this fine Is seldom imposed.
The Hebrews in the Russian army aro, it
is said, compelled to do the greatest drudg
ery, and tho most degrading work. One of
the immigrants said that the day before be
left some Hebrew soldiers in the Russian
army, among them a son of the narrator,
wanted to rebel because their families were
maltreated by the' Russian soldiers. The
Hebrew soldiers were all placed under ar
rest, and to purchase his son's release the
Immigrant sold his house and all his furni

f SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
Washington, July 30. Secretary Noble's
resignation is in the hands of the President
General Noble is not here to confirm this
announcement he is at Richfield Springs,
N. Y. but the Information comes from such
a source that its truth is accepted. It can
be sald'tbat the Secretary retires from the
Cabinet with the best of feeling between the
President and himself. The step is taken
after due consideration, and the resignation
is accepted with regret Dy the President.
What General Noble's future will be can
not be stated positively. He may go abroad
to fill a mission, or he may be appointed to
fill tho new Judgeship in the Eighth circuit.
It is possible that Senator Noble's mind is
not yet made np as to what will salt him
best. There Is one story current that he will
not return to Washington, but will go to-"
Europe for threo or four months' travel; re
turning here after the j udicial appointments
are made. There seems to be no doubt that
General Noble can have this Judicial ap
pointment if ho will take it. His personal
inclinations are said to be in favor of the
bench.
WOULD IIKE TO GO ABROAD.
The ladies of his family, however, are said
to look upon an official residence at one of
the European capitals as desirable. One
thing which seems to point to the European
appointment is the manner in which Gen
eral Noble's effects have been packed.
Strong cases have been made, such as would
be made for removal abroad. In these have
been placed the General's hooks and such
belongings as would naturally be shipped if
the family was going to Europe for an ex
tended stay.
As against the idea of the acceptance of a
foreign mission is held out the fact that the
bench appointment Is for life and that It
ranks next to the Supreme Court. Even
those who stand in the closest relations to
General Noble do not venture to express a
decided opinion about his future.
It has been stated already that there
is no friction between the President and
General Noble. They are the best of friends.
General Noble retires, according to those
who are in a position to speak, because he
feels that there is nothing more in the Sec
retaryship for him. He has administered
the duties nearly 2 years. He has worked
as few other men could with the Ad
ministration. He leaves no legacy of scan
dais.

a certain high official that tho President has
known of General Noble'd desire to retire
for several weeks, and had the resignation
before he left for Cape May.
The secret has been well kept. It might
havo been preserved still longer but for the
meeting of the Executive Committee of the
Republican National Committee in this city.
In strict confldenoe the information was im
parted to-day to the members of the Execu
tive Committee by one who had brought It
from Cape May. Of course tho members of
the Executive Commltteo now naturally
turned to Colonel J.S.Clarksonas the coming
Secretary. This, however, was stated to be
premature. The President consulted about
the appointment, but so far as can be
learned he did not intimate upon whom tho
choice will falL
A dispatch from Cape May says: Neither
the President nor Secretary Halford wlU
talk concerning thereported resignation of
Secretary Noble.
