INTENT OF THE IMMIGRATION' LAWS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Simon 'Wolf
and Lewis Abraham, ot this city, on behalf
of the Union of American Hebrew Congre
gation, have addressed to the Secretary of
the Treasury a communication on the sub
ject of the immigration of Russian Hebrews
to the I'nited States.
In their address, the writers, while de
ploring the arrival in this country of so
many of their exiled people, maintain that
the statutes of the United States should not
be so interpreted as to class them
n paupers or assisted immigrants,
"when hands of help and welcome are out
stretched to elevate them to the exalted
position of American citizenship, without
demanding any contributions from national
or local taxes," etc.
thi: reply or rosTF.n.
Secretary Foster has replied in substance
as follows:
He assured, Rentlemcn, that I fully concur
in vour estimate of tlie mapiitndo of tho
present cnlamitj which ha- befallen so
man v ol j our race,a ell as in your hope that
an early mitigation or cessation of the cur
rent measures ol expulsion may render
unnecessary any jreneral migration of
Ku-sian Hebrew sto America or elsewhere.
I nquetioimuly great and sudden influx
of expatriated and dc-titute aliens of any
rare would be a grave misfortune to any
countrx , and American Hebrews act both
natnotieall and humanely when they ad-M-
Hebrew refugees against coming luther,
but at the .ime tune endeavor to render
telf-supnorttng those who finally come. Ot-
lou-lj ."the support of great numbers of de
pendent persons is a tax upon the resources
of the countrj . even though paid from pri
vate lunds, and, quite as plainly, industrial
conditions here would Be seriously dis
turbed by tho sudden arrival and the en
forced competition of a multitude of needy
people.
SHOULD BE SCATTERED.
Hence it is important to the last degree
that the volume of this expected refugee
immigration be not excessive or threaten
ing, and that with entire certainty to be
promptly and widely distributed, so as to
supply a real want in scattered communi
ties and interfere a little as possible with
the existing and normal industrial condi
tions. While the immigration laws of the United
States must be enforced, I agree with you
that those laws were never enacted in dero
gation of the plainest requisites of human
ity, and no worthy immigrant, who in all
other respects meets the demands of our
statutes, should be excluded from the coun
try because, through the action of others, he
is" for the time being homeless and without
property.
A WARNING GIVES'.
1 shall rely upon your voluntary assurance
that jou will actively urge upon your breth
ren in Europe the attitude of our laws to
ward assisted immigration. I also beg to re-
Zllinu jou lliai am irnuuiiuj' auiuuu iu ue
fleet toward this countrj-the movement of
de-titute refugees, or to stimulate their mi
gration hither, would be distinctly hostile to
the spirit manifested in yonr letter, and to:
the spirit in which the Government ofthe
UnitL-d states desires to treatfthis difficult
and delicate problem.
Thanking j-ou for your expressions of con
fidence that'this department, while execut

BOUND FOE LIBEBIA.
A Scheme to Transport Southern Negroes
to That Country.
"Washington, Aug. 1. A movement of
considerable magnitude is on foot to arrange
for the deportation of the negroes of the
Southern States to Liberia. Captain John
Murray and W. B. Lewis, representing
Elder, Dempster & Co., of Liverpool,
owners of a line of steamships, have been
at Chamberlin's for some days in consulta
tion with Benjamin Gaston, the agent of the
Liberian Emigration Company.
The negotiations have been carried to a
successful point, and an agreement has been
reached whereby a fleet will beat the dis
posal of the colored people. Ships will
sail at frequent intervals from Southern
ports direct to the African coast, and it is
believed that the first contingent will be
ready to start out inside of two months.
EEADY FOE SEEVICE.
The New Officers for tho Regular Army
Assigned to Their Regiments.
"Washington, Aug.L Secretary Proctor
to-day approved the reports of the two
boards of army officers which recently ex
amined new commissioned officers and
Chilians for appoinment to the arm- as
second lieutenants. Twelve candidates
were selected from each list, leaving seven
non-commissioned officers and 12 civilians
who, for various reasons, failed to pass the
severe examinations.
The assignments were made to the regi
ments of the service according to a plan
designated to prevent the bunching of
officers appointed" from civil life and the
ranks, whereby those new officers were sent to
regiments having the least number of such
appointments. It is the opinion of officers
who served on the boards that conducted
the examination that these 21 men Trill be a
decided acquisition to the service.
BELIEVES IN MILLS.
CONGRESSMAN CKAIN CERTAIN THAT
HE WILL BE SPEAKER.
Tariff Beform the Issue on "Which He "Will
Be Elected The Silver Question Mnst
Be Tnt Aside Crisp's Friends Are
Equally Confident.
(FROM A STATF COBRESrOVDESr.l
Washington. Aug.-1. One of the most
enthusiastic supporters of Roger Q. Mills
for Speaker is Eepresentative Crain, of
Texas. He is very indignant at the circula
tion of the story that Mr. Mills has decided
to withdraw from the contest for the Speak
ership. Mr. Crain this evening read to the
correspondent of The Dispatch a letter
lrom Mr. Mills, in which the latter flatly
denied that he had any intention of with
drawing, and declaring in emphatic terms
that he is in to stay until he is elected or
defeated.
Mr. Crain said after reading the letter:
"Mr. Mills has made accessions in the East,
and his splendid fight in the "West and
Xorthwest has given him a degree of
strength there which astonished his op
ponents. He will leave for Iowa on Mon
day, and will help the cause in that State.
"He is in favor of free coinage of silver,
but believes that that is a question to be
settled inside of the party. The Southern
people are more interested in the preserva
tion of their political autonomy than in any
other is'tie, and they want .Democratic ad
ministration, so as "to preserve them from
force bills or other harsh measures. Hence
they cannot afford to jeopardize their wel
fare upon side issues. The Democratic
party is a unit for tariff reform, but is
divided upon the silver question. "Why in
ject an clement of discord into the party
plttform? The gold men may be right, or
the silver men may be right, but it seems to
be unwise, inexpedient and impolitic to
furnish our antagonists with an issue which
was not varied in the two last canvasses
and wnich ought Rot to be brought up now.
"Do you really think Mr. Mills will be
elected Speaker?"
"Unquestionably I do. The fight is be
tween the gavel and the issue ol taritt re
form. "We had an example of the power of
the gavel in the last Congress. Mr. Becd
furnished the country with an evidence of
its powers."

by the friends ot Mills, the supporters of
Judge Crisp say that they have enough votes
now absolutely pledged to elect their man.
TO SAVE THEIE NECKS.
A Hungarian Meeting Decides to Ask
Clemency for Toth, Sabol and Rasnolc
rsrrCIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
Xev York, Aug. 1. A mass meeting of
about 300 Hungarians, called by the Hun
garian Association, was held this evening
in Germania Association Hall, to ask clem
ency for Andrew Toth, Michael Sabol and
George Rusnok, who are sentenced to death
in Pittsburg, charged with the murder of
Michael Quinn on New Year's Day in the
Edgar Thomson Steel Works, at Braddock.
Coroner Levy, the Chairman, introduced
Samuel Gomp'ers, who spoke in English.
He told how the strikers had asked for
higher wages. They expected an answer to
their petition about Christmas time, but
none came.
"They went to ask the employes to desist
from work," he said. "I acknowledge that
they had no right there, but thev
saw their foes taking the bread
from their families. Four days after
the fight Quinn died. The most
of those who made the attack fled the State.
Three were arrested. Admitting that
Toth and Sabol were in the attack, we have
Rusnok's statement that he was not there."
It was resolved to appeal to the Board of
Pardons of Pennsylvania, and the Chairman
was empowered to take the necessary steps.
GORED BY A COW.
The Animal Drives Her Born Clear Through
the Neck of a "Woman.
Lynchburg, O., Aug. 1. While Miss
Eliza Walker, aged about 45 years, was out
in the barnyard late last evening engaged in
milking, one of the cows pitched at a dog
but, missing the dog, one of the horns of
the cow struck Miss Walker, entering her
neck at the left angle of the lower jaw and
passing completely around the front of the
throat, just under the jaw, to the angle on
the right of the jaw on the right side of the
neck.
The windpipe was partially severed, the
arteries and jugular veins laid bare and the
pulsations of the heart could be easily seen.
The wound was sufficiently large for a per
son's hand to be easily inserted. It re
quired 25 stitches to secure the parts. Her
sufferings were intense.

MURDERED FRIDAX NIGHT.
Drunken Men Supposed to Have Been
Actuated by Enemies The Building of a
Conrt House the Origin of the Trouble
Meager Details as Yet.
CSrFCIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH-.
Catlettsburg, Ky., Aug. L Wayne
county, W. Va., was the scene of a series of
murders Friday night Mr. Brumfield, his
wife and five children were murdered in a
most horrible manner and their bodies con
sumed by fire. The only theory advanced
for the crime, as told by Mr. Payne, just
from the scene of the murder,is revenge and
the love of gold.
Friday night about midnight a party of
50 Italians employed as laborers on the
Norfolk and Western Railroad became
drunk and started on a tour of devastation.
The Brumfield family resided some distance
from the railroad camp, and were
thought to have considerable money
in their possession. The Italians in a body
made their way to Brumfield's residence,
and upon arriving there admittance was de
manded and refused by the inmates. Rails
and clubs were secured by the drunken
men and doors and windows forced
open. Mr. Brumfield, with his two
half-grown sons, made a brave fight
in defense of their home and lives. The
defenders fought with desperation, using
every available article as weapons, but
without much result, as their enemies were
15 to 1. After the brave defenders were
brought to the floor with repeated
blows they were murdered. Their
throats were cut from ear to ear and
the bodies repeatedly stabbed with the
knives carried by the" Italians. After dis
posing of these, the infuriated Italians
turned to Mrs. Brumfield and her three lit
tle children, who were the next victims.
After completing their work, the murderers
searched the house for money and then set
it on fire.
The theory advocated for the crime is
that Mr. Brumfield was a very influential
and wealthy citizen of Wayne county. Two
or three years ago he was elected County
Commissioner. About that time the ques
tion of building a new Court
House at Wayne Court House was
being discussed. Mr. Brumfield opposed the
erection of the new building bitterly and
made many enemies by his course. The
court house was built, and it is thought
that Friday night's work was the result, and
that Brumfield's enemies plied the
Italians with liquor, after which they
pointed out to them the path to the resi
dence. The citizens of Wayne county pro
pose lynching them. The scene of the crime
is 25 miles distant from here, and remote'
from telegraph communication.
THE KING OF SEBVIA.
Something Abont Alexander I. and His
Father, Ex-King Milan.
St. Nicholas for August. 3
Servia is a new European monarchy. It
was for many years one of the small prin
cipalities situated on the lower Danube,
and bounded by Turkey, Austria and Rus
sia. Its security was constantly in peril
through "quarrels with its neighbors be
cause of the rival ambitionsof those powers.
Finally, in 1882, it-was made an independ
ent kingdom, each of the nations who were
eager to absorb it consenting to its inde
pendence with the view of.preventing the
territory from falling into the hands of the
others. The family of Obrenovich had
long been Princes of Servia, and its head
became the first King, under the title of
Milan I. He had married Natalie, the
daughter of a Russian colonel named De
Kechko, and to them there was born on
August 14, 1876, their only child, a son
nai led Alexander.
King Milan and his wife did not live
happily together; and Queen Natalie has
been accused by many of the folly of letting
her Russian patriotism outweigh her pru
dence, and of lending herself to plots and
intrigues which aimed at bringing Servia in
greater or less degree under the control of
her own country. The result was a long and
bitter quarrel, of which the end was their
separation and the expulsion of Queen
Natalie from Servia. King Milan I. finally
abdicated his throne, and his son became
King of Servia on March 17, 1889, under
the title of Alexander L, while still in his
13th year. The actual government is in the
hands of a "Council of Regency, "composed
of three of the most experienced statesmen
and soldiers of the country; and Alexander
is yet in care of his tutors, and he rarely
sees either of his parents, neither of whom
li es at Belgrade, the capital. His real au
thority is as yet but slight. He is an at
tractive youth, speaks French and German,
as well as the Servian dialect, and is re
ported to be intelligent, well-disposed and
manly. His reign has thus far been peace
ful and prosperous, for the men who govern
in his name have shown themselves to be
both sagacious and patriotic
HE WAS ON THE COMMITTEE.
Mr.
McMHIin Was Always There,
But
Didn't Amount to Much.
New York World. J
When Major McKinley made his last visit
to Washington he was chatting with a num
ber of friends at his hotel when the subject
turned upon Reed's high-handed i course as
Speaker.
The Major ventured some remarks on
the subject, declaring that Reed, while at
first annoyed by the Democratic assaults,
finally reached a condition of mind when he
positively enjoyed them. In this connec
tion a good story is told of one of the meet
ings of the Committee on Rules. The vari
ous special orders reported by the Commit
tee were invariably denounced by Demo
crats on the floor as outrageous. Toward
the latter part of the session the two Demo
cratic members of the Committee on Rules
were McMillin, of Tennessee, and Blount,
of Georgia. As they were in the minority
and were uniformly outvoted, they might
as well not have been on the committee at
all. In fact, Blount finally ceased al
together to attend the committee meetings,
leaving McMillin as the only representative
of the minority.
One morning, before the House as
sembled, McMillin went to the Speaker's
room to be present at the usurl committee
meeting. He was about five minutes late
and the Republican members Reed, Mc
Kinley and Cannon appeared to be wait
ing for him. As he walked in the Speaker
said:
"McMillin, you are late this morning."
"Just a trifle," said the humorous Ten
nessean, "but I hope I have not obstructed
public business."
This was a shot at the way the minority
had been uniformly suppressed in the com
mittee. Reed put on a serious expression
of countenance and replied dryly:
"Oh, no, but" handing McMillin apaper
"Joe and Mack and I have concluded to
perpetrate the following outrage, and I
thought maybe your Democratic friends
would like to know about it."
The paper contained another of the ob
noxious special orders.
THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY. AUGUST 189.
PURSUED BY A SHAKK.
Bather Gruesome Situation of Captain
Andrews on the Ocean.
STILL SAILING BRAVELY ON.
Mermaid and Sea Serpent Probably Abont
a Hundred Miles Apart.
THEY HATE 2,000 MILES TO SAIL IET
rSr-ECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DtSPATCn.
Baltimore, Aug. 1. Captain Thomas
Morgan, jn command of the steel steamship
Sobraon, which arrived here Thursday
evening fromLiverpool.reports that about 7
o'clock July 24hcsighted a small boat ahead
with sails set. Supposing it was a boat's
crew from a shipwreck, he bore down upon
it. To his astonishment there was but one
man in the boat, and he seemed perfectly at
ease.
The man brought his little craft alongside
the Sobraon, and entered into conversation
with Captain Morgan. He said he was Cap
tain Andrews, that his boat was the Mer
maid, and that he had started in a race
across the ocean from Boston to Landsend,
England, with a boat the same size called
Sea Serpent. He had then been out 30
days. As the Sobraon was north latitude
42& BO', west longitude 36 12', Captain
Andrews was about 2,146 miles from his
destination. By request Captain Morgan
received the logbook of the lonely mariner
up to the date of meeting the Sobraon, to be
forwarded to a Boston paper. It was
mailed to-day.
CHASED BY A BIG SHARK.
Captain Morgan says the courageous mar
iner was well and in good spirits; was short
of nothing needed, but regretted haviug
been out so long. When the two parted
company the weather was cloudy, with a
light breeze from the northwest, and when
last seen the Mermaid was sailing with a
flowing sheet. A shark had been following
the Mermaid for davs, and when she made
fast to the Sobraon the two pilot fish which
had preceded her for the same time and be
longed to the 'shark, secreted themselves
beneath the tiny craft until she got under
way, when they renewed their places just
ahead.
The logbook contained but little of inter
est except Captain Andrews' meeting with
the California, which supplied him with a
little heavy weather medicine. He regret
ted not being able to shoot the sun for days
to ascertain his position.
SUPERSTITION OF THE OLD SALTS.
From the point of view of the old salts,
Captain Andrews is in a bad way. The
company of a shark looks ominous. What
does the shark want if it be not a square
meal, and why should it stick to the Mer
maid if it did not expect Captain Andrews
to go crazy and jump overboard? Those are
the questions the old salts are very apt to
ask and to answer to the dismay of the
Captain.
From any point of view the outlook for
the Mermaid is not cheering. By the
steamer route the distance from New York
to Quecnstown is 2,800 miles, and yet here
is this tiny racer 2,146 miles from its desti
nation after having been 30 days out from
Boston. To be sailing even with a blowing
sheet in such a boat, with a hungry shark
only for company, is bad enough, but when
one considers that the season for cyclones is
now at hand, and that a small boat cannot
sail far enough to avoid that kind of a
6torm, as a large ship can, the hope of Cap
tain Andrews ever reaching any land is
slim enough, not to mention the hope of
completing the journey.
BUILD OP THE SEA BOATS.
A number of such voyages as this have
been attempted. The boats are commonly
spoken of as dories, but they are no more
like a dory than a Newport catboat is like a
mud scow. The hulls are always built on
the deen cutter model, and arc carefully-
decked over and so ballasted that the crew,
can tnrow over tne sea anenor wnen a gaie
comes, close to his hatches, and turn in to
sleep until pleasant weather, always pro
viding that some comber does not crush in
his cockle shell. '
Of course the shark followed the Mermaid
because of the waste food that Captain An
drews threw overboard, and the pilot fish
were there because the shark was just as a
little dog can always be found handy when
a big dog is killing sheep.
NEWS OF THE SEA SERPENT.
The steamer Kehrwieder, which arrived
at Deptford, near London, July 17, re
ported passing the Sea Serpent July 8. Her
exact position was not reported, but she
was probably not over 100 miles from the
Mermaid, judging by the speed .the Kehr
wieder had made.
While a small boat has now and then
crossed the Atlantic a ship's yawl once
landed 24 negro children from the Gold
Coast in Brazil the chances are all against
the success of such voyages as the Mermaid
and the Sea Serpent are undertaking.
The skippers are very apt to do as the
captain of the Dark Secret did two or
three years ago, get frightened and give it
up when a friendly merchant ship heaves io
sight homeward bound.
TELEPHONES PLUGGED
By Baltimore Druggists In an Effort to Brine
the Company to Terms.
Baltimore Aug. 1. A big telephone
war is on here between the druggists and
the telephone company. About 170 retail
drug dealers placed the lightning plug in
their telephones and will not take them out
until reasonable concessions have been
made by the company. For some time
they, like the public generally, have com
plained of the inferior service and excessive
charges, but their complaints were met with
indifference and contempt.
From present indications it looks as if
the monopoly will be brought to terms.
Not only nave the 170 retail druggists taken
a stand, but they are backed up by about 23
wholesale drug dealers, who also plugged
their instruments. The movement is popu
lar, and threatens to expand. Should sub
scribers generally combine the opposition
would be so formidable that it would be im
possible for the company to stand out long
against its demand.
ADMITTED THEIR GUILT.
John Richards and Young Crow Acknowl
edge Bobbing Freight Cars.
John Richards, charged with robbing
freight- cars, was given a hearing last night
before Alderman Succop. Richards ac
knowledged his guilt. He told how he and
George Crow followed the cars from Home
stead and took the numbers. They broke
them open in the yards at Pittsburg, taking
whatever suited their fancy.
Crow, who was committed to jail a few
days ago for court on the same charge, also
admitted his guilt. He is only 17 years
old, but has a record for breaking intocars.
Richards was sent to jail to await trial at
court.
BURIED BENEATH COAL AND BOCK.
Two Miners Near Plymouth, Pa., Instantly

Wilkesbabbe, Aug. 1. Michael Shiney
and John Evans, two miners employed in
the Boston mine of J. C. Haddock & Co., at
Plymouth, were instantly killed to-day by
a fall of coal.
They were driving a new slope when,
without warning, a mass of coal and rock
fell from the roof burying them beneath it,
and causing instant death.

While going to the river one of the men
escaped and reached the river. The others

death escaped into Georgia and reported
the above facts. The body of one of the
women was recovered.

Chicago, Aug. 1. The messenger sent
to his father by the Czarewitch of Russia
while in Japan and whose mysterious disap
pearance and supposed murder in Denver
by agents of Japanese noblemen, as related
in Chicago some weeks ago, by fellow
voyagers of the Courier, has arrived safely
at St. Petersburg. This information was
received to-dav by the Marquis St. Croix,
the young Frenchman who was on the
same train with the German merchants
who told of the disappearance.
Mystery still surrounds the first few days
after the messenger's arrival at Denver,
though it is still believed by the Marquis
that foul play, which did not reach its full
intended results, caused the messenger's
troubles as originally published. It is said
the messenger found himself in Laredo,
Tex., where, being unable to speak any
thing but Russian, he was for some time
utterly helpless. He was rescued by two
of his countrymen living upon a ranche
near that of Senator FarwelL
The Russian papers, in the meanwhile,
were, it is said, constantly demanding in
formation, and, despite the denials of the
Washington officials, it is stated that the
Department of State received a dozen differ

February 18, 1791, to take effect March 4 of
that year, but it seems the custom nowa
days to celebrate centennials some time
after date, as is conspicuous in the proposed
Columbian Fair at Chicago to commemorate
the discovery of this continent
The difference between the weather in
March and that of August warrants the
charge of the time for any kind of outdoor
celebration in a region where the proverbial
climatology turns up in the popular prov
erb of "three months of winter and nine
months of confounded cold weather." The
celebration will be to some extent a politi
cal picnic, and it is desirable to make the
occasion attractive to visitors from abroad.
Prominent among the distinguished
guests will be President Harrison, who has
accepted an invitation to be present. Sec
retary Proctor is a Vermonter, and will act
as the President's host, while Uncle Jere
miah Rusk, who has been invited to join
the party, will, no doubt, be bountifully
provided forand temporarily boarded in
one of the neighboring farmhouses.
This patriotic junket will be considered
by some as a sort of a supplement to Mr.
Harrison's recent nomination swing round
the circle. But he will find no political
fences to repair or patch ,up In "V ermont.
In 1888 he received 45,192 Vermont votes,
against only 16,788 for Mr. Cleveland, and
in the coming Presidental contest the State
iwill give a great majority for the Repub
lican candidate, whoever he may be.
The President, therefore, in visiting Ver
mont hai nothing before him but a purely
pleasurable picnic, which, we hope, he will
enjoy to the fullest extent.
THREE GREAT MEN OUTING.
Something About Booth, Jefferson
and
Cleveland at Cape Cod.
New York 'World. J
After breakfast Mr. Booth draws forth
his cigar. All day long he smokes and
reads. Now and then he takes a walk, but
not often. The quiet, the cigar and the
book enchant him. No life could be more
pleasant for him. Mr. Jefferson begins to
talk about fishing. Once a day Mr. Jeffer
son says he is a very unfortunate man.
Very likely there are not three men in the
country who suffer so much from exposure
to the sun and wind. His face will not get
brown like Mr. Cleveland's. It never
hardens. It is just as bad the last day of
the season as it is the first. Mr, Jefferson
burns.
If Mr. Cleveland is a sight when he is in
his fishing rig, what shall be said of Mr. Jef
ferson? He cannot gi re up fishing, and the
sun makes his face very like raw meat.
Therefore it behooves him to circumvent
the effects of the sun. He thought awhile,
and the result was a curious cap, with a hood
attached to it, which covers his head, neck
and checks. There is only an opening for his
eyes, nose and mouth. These are protected
by the peak of the cap. He wears an old
pair of trousers of no particular color and
three or four different kinds of jackets,
w hich usually button up tight. Mr. Jeffer
son is rather fond of fishing jackets which
suggest fish. He thinks that city apparel
scares laway the game. When he returns
from fishing, he paints at times. Often dur
ing the afternoon he and Mrs. Jefferson will
drive over to the Cleveland cottage.
GAVE HIM A DOLLAR FOB DOING IT.
Experience of a Young Man Who Wanted a
Coat and Vest Fixed.
Chicago Tribune.
It happened to a young North Side man.
He had a coat and vest that needed a little
fixing up, and when he was going home he
met a man with them over his arm.
"Taking those things up to be fixed?" he
asked.
"Yes, sir," responded the man promptly.
"All right. Stop at some cigar store on
your way back and get me four twe-for-a-quarter
cigars. Here's a dollar."
Then he sauntered on home and found his
wife greatly excited.
"Oh, Will!" she exclaimed. "What do
you think? A sneak-thief got into the house
a little while ago and stole that old coat
and vest that you wanted to have fixed."
For a moment he was too surprised to
speak. Then he said:
"Mabel, don't you breathe a word of it to
even your best friend. I've been fool
enough to give that man a dol ar for doing
it."
Then he went out aud bought the cigars
he'd sent the man for.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCIt.
Ciiicaco, Aug. 1. J. C. Conway,
private secretary to Manager Walker, of
the Illinois Steel Company, was found dead
in his bed at the Sherman House to-day.
His wife woke out of a sound sleep to find
his corpse beside her and an empty vial,
labeled "morphine," on a chair. Mrs. Con
way is 20 and pretty. She told this story:
"We were married in Marquette on July
22. He wanted me to come to Chicago
with him then, but I was not ready to
come. When he left he told me he would
send for me when he had his vacation and
we would take a trip East and call it our
wedding tour. Saturday I received a tele
gram from him, tellint; me to meet him at
the Sherman House. When I arrived here
he was waiting for me and told me that we
would go East in a few days. He acted
strangely and seemed to have been drinking
hard.
"Every day he would say something
about dying and that he was tired of living.
I asked him if he intended to kill himself
and he told me it was none of my business.
Before he went to bed he took a bottle of
morphine and poured some of it into a glass,
then drank it. When he went to bed he
said: 'Well, May, I guess 111
break away.' About 2 o'clocV- in the
morning Iawoke andfoundhim taking more
morphine. I begged him not to, and
grabbed the glass, spilling some of it on
the floor. He pushed me roughly away and
drank it. When I awoke about 9 o'clock
this morning I tried to awaken him and
found he was dead. I never thought he
meant to kill himself. Had I thought so I
would have told some one."
The Coroner's jury accepted her story
and decided that Conway had committed
suicide while under the influence of drink.
His parents knew nothing of his marriage.
COMMON EBB0BS ABOUT SNAKES.
An Expert Points Out Some Mistakes That
Are Generally Accepted.
"I've no faith in the fascination of snakes'
eyes," says G. B. O'Reilly, of Trinidad, in
the New York IForW. "It's the same fear
which draws birds around a hawk or owl,
or small boys around a wild bull, that leads
little birds to curiously inspect a motionless
snake. Then they get killed for their curi
osity. "The idea that full-grown men are swal
lowed by boas I believe to be a myth. As
for the American boas, I have seen none
that can swallow more than a half-grown
goat. An anaconda over 20 feet long is rare.
The largest snake on record, an Indian
python reticulatus, now in London, is only
2U feet long. It weighs about 224 pounds.
Boas do not cover their prey with saliva be
fore swallowing it. The saliva merely
lubricates the prey during the process of
deglutition.
"Young snakes do not take refuge in their
mother's stomach. Snakes sucking cows
and hoop snakes rolling along with their
tails in their mouths are inventions worthy
of the author of the 'Arabian Nights.'
There's the fable abont whip-snakes hang
ing from trees in Brazil and lashing the un
suspecting wayfarer. Their shape started
the story. They are about half an inch in
diameter at the thickest part and five feet
long."
HABD TO AVOID SHOP TALK.
A Girl Shonts Cash in the Midst of Her
Novel and Editors Call for Copy.
New York Telegram. 1
A neatly dressed shopgirl sat in a Third
avenue car yesterday evening, and was so
absorbed with her novel that the car passed
her street before she was aware of it She
hastily jumped up, and said "Coshl" The
conductor understood her wants, and the
girl blushingly alighted, attended by the
smiles of her fellow passengers. I once
heard a newspaper man yell "Copy!" on
the street when he wanted to attract the at
tention of a bootblack.
Neither of the above cases was attended
by the embarrassment felt by a young lady
who had a somewhat similar experience on
an Ii train the other day. The car was
crowded, and a young man politely ten
dered his seat to one of the two young
ladies who had entered. The girls were in
vivacious spirits, and the one who accepted
the seat said to the donor, in one breath:
"Thankyoudon'tmcntionit." Then, real
izing that she had made "a break," she
sank back in pretty confusion, while her
girl friend giggled at her mortification.

SEKIOUS CHARGES AGAINST T1IE OTHER
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH-. J
Beavek Falls, Aug. L While many
of the Christians and pastors of Beaver
Palls have been out of town on their sum
mer vacation, Satan seems to have stayed
at home, and by getting in his work with
more energy than ever has caused serious
disruptions in two of the churches in this
place.
There is serions trouble in the German
Presbyterian Church, of which the Itev.
Frederick Fuerst, who gained so much
notoriety in Be,llevue, Ky., lately by his -escapades,
was formerly pastor. The
tronble originates from Fuerst's actions
and is caused by the letter written by the
Rev. A. Bauer,-who is now pastor of the
church, to the trustees of the Bellevue '
Church, giving a history of Fuerst's actions
while pastor here. The let'er scored -Fuerst
very heavily and was published by
the press all over the country.
IN 'ARMS AGAINST BAUER.
This has made a number of Bev. Mr.
Baner's congregation very angry. The let
ter, they say, has brought discredit on the
church, and at a secret meeting,held by.'a
few of the members some nights since, reso
lutions were passed condemning him and
declaring his pulpit vacant. They also got
the church key and locked up the building
They vow he shall not hold service, to-morrow.
This morning the Teverend gentleman,
went before Burgess Piper, and after de
claring that he would enter the church'
during the Sunday school hours to-morrow
morning and preach as usual, in spite of
the turbulent members, asked the Burgess ;
to grant him police protection. The Bur
gess told him he could ne4 grant hi request
unless a breech of the peace should take
place. The Kev. 3Ir. Bauer then served a""
written notice on the Burgess, holding him
and the trustees of the church responsible
in cose "riot, bloodshed and murder" should
take place to-morrow. The deposed clergy
man says he will occupy his pulpit and
preach at all hazards to-morrow morning.
BAPTIST CHURCH TROUBLE.
The First Baptist Church is also having
its trouble. A number of the leading mem
bers have taken a dislike to their pastor, the
Bev. W. G. Bristol, and for some time have
been creating trouble in the church and
seeking to make it so hot for the rqverend
gentleman that he would resign his pastor
ate. This he refuses to do and is backed up
by a majority of the congregation.
Kot long since the most turbulent of the
opposing taction was deposed at a congre
gational meeting, led by the pastor, and it
was thought that such action would end the
matter. Instead, however, it has only in
tensified the bitterness. Charges of a serious
character were brought against the pastor by
a female member and a meeting was held
last night to take action. The prosecutor
did not appear and ihe congregation voted
unanimously to sustain the pastor.
CHARGES AGAINST BRISTOL.
The trouble does not end, however, for a
council of ministers of the church has been
called and charges will be presented aeainst
Bev.ilr. Bristol. Several letters of a very
damaging nature have been secured from
officers of the church where Key. Mr. Bristol
formerly officiated and will De presented in
evidence.
One letter in particular from Cherabusco,
Ind., signed by the treasurer of the church
of which the Bev. Mr. Bristol was formerly
pastor, scores the reverened gentleman ter
ribly. It makes many grievous charges
against the Rev. Mr. Bristol.
A QTJEEB AFBICAN DISH.
How Explorer Stanley's White Officers Were
Introduced to Chiquanga.
St. Nicholas for August.
Saleh, Stanley's attendant, said it was -curious
to watch Stanley's white officers
when introduced to chiquanga, a -kind of
pudding made of boiled manioc root.
Neither the taste nor odor of this food is' at
all inviting at first;"but necessity brings a!l
whites as well as blacks to regard it as the
bread of life before many months of resi
dence in Central Africa.
Sometimes when deprived of it for many
days I have oiten hailed a piece of toasted
chiquanga as a real luxury, and I have been
rather disgusted with newly arrived whites
whose upturned noses condemned my bar- - ;
baric taste.
When Stanley's white officers had finished
their stnoll stock of tinned provisions and. . .
rice, they were absolutely compelled to fall
back on the manioc dishes; bnt the sourness
of taste of this African pudding is a serious
barrier to the enjoyment of it, and some
stubborn persistence is required before tha
white man hails chiquanga as a delicacy;
but like other white travelers, these officers
began to like it, and when they passed be
yond the districts where it grew, and were
forced to adhere to a roast plantain diet,
they regretted bitterly that they had no
