Jo Further Kews From the Cashier Whose MoTemett Bare Elated So Much Talk tre Past Few Sari. IS mTEJIFUL SESSION OF THE IKTESHG ATOKS fSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Philadelphia, Sept. 5. A special to the Times from Harrisburg says: The topic of discussion at the State capital to-day is the disappearance of so many Treasury and ex-Treasury officials. It is regarded, as a strange coincidence that simultaneously with the calling together of the Legislative Investigating Committee during the past week, Boyer should be in Canada, Livsey in Milwaukee or somewhere else, and that Quay should have taken a cottage by the sea-sands of X e w Jersey, where his family intend to join him. "With the exception of General Baily, about whose whereabouts no one has thought to inquire, Quay, Livsey and Boyer are the only living persons who have filled the offices of State Treasurer and cashier to the State Treasurer since Henry Rawle vacated the office the first Monday of May, 1878. Noyes, who succeeded Bawle, and his cashier, Blake "Walters, are both dead, as are ex-State Treasurers Butler and Hart and ex-Cashier Nutt, who served under Treasurer Baily until killed by Legislator Dukes. it's rooD FOB gossips. Dead men tell no tales, of course, and the simultaneous absence of the three men. possessed of the secrets of the State Treas ury during the last dezen years leads to the suspicion that the living would rather not tell any, at anyjate not to an investigating committee. With the disappearance erf Livsey people are recalling the fact that Boyer was the first witness examined by the committee, that his examination was very perfunctory, being confined to a few ques tions about the condition of the Treasury when he took charge of it; the banks in which the State money was deposited and the exact condition of the money deposited by his bondsmen to make good the Jamison and Delamater losses, and that he started for Canada on a fishing excursion the next morning. Livsey's abence also recalls the fact tba if there are any State treasury secrets that it would be dangerous to have the lid lifted from Livsey knows all about them, for he has been cashier or State Treasurer continu ously since the inauguration of the late Samuel Butler as State Treasurer, May 1, 1880, except during a part of General Baily's term, when the ill-fated Captain Nntt acted as cashier. MB. livsey's official- cabeeb. Livsey first becams Butler's cashier, serving through the full term of the lattir. Butler was succeeded as Sta Treasurer by General Silas M. Baily, May 1, 18S2, who appointed Captain Nut", of TJniontown, as his cashier. On the death of Nutt, Livsey was again appointed cashier, serving out the remainder of Baily's term and succeed ing him as Treasurer, having been elected to the position at the fall election of 1883. Livsey was succeeded as State Treasurer by Quay May 1, 1886, and became Quay's cashier. "When Quay resigned to enter the Senate, Livsey was appointed Treasurer to fill the unexpired term, the appointment dating from September 6, 1887. Cap tain "William B. Hart was elected Treasurer in the fall of 1837, and upon assuming his office the following May he installed Livsey as his cashier. On the death of Hart, No vember 9, 1889, Livsey was again appointed Treasurer to fill the unexpired term, and again resumed the cashier's desk when Boyer became State Treasurer the following May. He has been State Treasurer once by election aud tnice by appointment, and cashier five times, his term of service in both capacities covering a period of 11 years. THE COMMITTEE MEASS EUSIJTESS. Another question quite as important as the absence in other States of the three men who know all about the State Treasury is the sincerity of the Investigating Com mittee. It is generally believed here that it was appointed for the express purpose of preventing an investigation. The delay of Chairman Smith in calling it together, even when requested to do so in so sensational a manner by Mr. Fow, and his convenient trip to Europe confirmed this impression, an impression, the perfunctory examination of Boyer before being allowed to make his trip to Canada failed to remove. The public believe that this committee has full power to investigate the charges of misuse of the public money during past ad ministrations, and that it can put Quay, Cameron, Chris Magee and every person fcaid to have knowledge of past Treasury scandals on the stand unless they all follow Lnsey's example and run. .POLITICS OF THE XXVESIIQATOBS. A majority of the committee are Bepub licans, who might leel disposed to be lenient toward their former party associates who are apparently dodging an inviestigatson, bnt the Democratic members Monaghan, Fow and Captain Skinner, have no such reason for failing to do their fnll duty in jthe matter. "Will they investigate? Every body here understands that even if theJRe ,publican members of the committee, for partisan reasons, desire to investigate, I around the edges a little and make a report I that will hurt no one but the dead or those j alredy in ail, the three Democratic mem ber can take tne na on n tney want to. 'ublic sentiment favors a thorough prob ing' of all State and city financial scandals. iv attempt on the part of the majority of tie committee to preTent a real investiga- jon would he regaraeo by the public as a :onfession that- somebody was in danger of 'cettine hurt. It is believed here that an opportunity exists for a real investigation, and that nothing can prevent it it even one member of the committee is in dead earnest. SO BEWABDS EVEE .PAID. The committee met this morning at Philadelphia, but little of importance was brought out. John H. Tvler, Samuel W. Bell and J. "Wesley, Supple, respectively, Presidents of the Fourth Street, the Farmers' and Mechanics', and the Com Ex change National banks, were the oniy wit nesses before the committee. The wit nesses, whose banks are State depositories, were summoned to testify as to whether any person had ever received any consid eration, discounts or favors by reason of the State deposits. Each of the three bank presidents testified that no favors of any kind had ever been shown -to any one, nor had any campaign assessments ever been paid by their institutions. A motion was made and agreed to that District Attorney Graham, of Philadelphia, be called upon to, place at the disposal of the cgmmittee tWb correspondence held by him of Auditor General .McCamant and ex City Treasurer Bardsley. "When the com mittee adjourned it was to meet in Phila delphia September 17. The" two days fol lowing the committee will meet in Harris burg and Auditor General McCamant will be called to testify. r NOT AT MILWAUKEE. IXV5ET LETT TWO "WEEKS AGO AND HAS NOT BEEN HEAKD FROM. A Peculiar Mistake In Regard to a Tele gram The Cashier Hay Be at Grand Baplds The Sale of the Livsey Resi dence In Flttabnrg. Cashier "William Livsey is not in Mil waukee. The message received by The Dispatch Friday night signed by .Mr. Livsey. was authorized by Mr. Eugene Jones, Mr. Livsey's son-in-law, who was mistaken for Mr. Livsey by the messenger who was 'sent out with The Dispatch's message of inquiry. It was at a Tery late hour and the mistake occurred in the haste that was necessary. , The Dispatch's correspondent at Mil waukee telegraphed last night as fol lows: "1 have just seen Mr. Eugene Jones, who resides at No. 393 Na tional avenue. He is Mr. Livsey's son-in-law. He said Mr. Livsey came here four weeks ago to visit his stepdaughter, Mrs. Jones, who is seriously ilL Mr. Livsey was accompanied by his wife. Mr. Jones said they left here two weeks ago, ostensi bly for their home in Pittsburg. He said he had not heard from them since. Mr. Jones believes Mr. Lirsey will soon visit Milwaukee again. He said Mr. Livsey has a son, J. H. Livsey, at Grand Rapids, Mich., and that possibly he had gone there." Considerable comment was caused by the fact which came out incidentally in the in terview with Mrs. Livsey published yester day morning that she did not know the Livsey residence had been sold, whereas the sale had already been reported in the news papers. Her ignorance of the sale, how ever, -is easily explained, as the negotiations J were conducted Ty af "real estate firm and that firm-had not reported to her, preferring to wait for Mr, Livsey's directions. TO HAVE LOTS OF POWEB. The Proposed Bill on Militia Matters to Be Applied In Tennessee. Nashville, Tests., Sept. 6. Special To meet an emergency such as that which recently directed the attention of the public to Briceville when the Governor was power less to call upon the militia in suppressing the disturbance, Mr. Curtice introduced a bill in the Senate to-day, the substance of which is as follows: That the Governor be invested with full authority to sum mon and use the forces placed at his disposal for the purpose of repelling any invasion of the State and suppress all insurrections and other like as semblages, whether existing or imminent, that shajl in his opinion be too formidable for the loeal authorities or shall threaten to any serious extent the immediate interest of the State. The bill farther gives the Governor authority to summon to his aid the sheriff of any county with any number of citizens. Failure to respond to the Governor's sum mons on the part of the Sheriff or citizen is made punishable by a fine ot not less than S1Q and imprisonment for not less than-five days. LAID ON THE LASH. An Injured Hnsband Energetically Horse whips His Wife's Slanderer. Augusta, Mb., Sept 5. ZSpedal There was a horsewhipping affair on the public street this moming. The victim was A. H. Lyon,' a builder and contractor. The man who did the whipping was Ed Smart, a young druggist. .a.bout two montns ago Smart -married a young woman who was one of the belles of the town. Soon afterward he heard rumors reflecting upon the previ ous character of his bride. He investigated the slanderous stories, and it is alleged, traced them all to Lyon. To-day he started to make Lyon retract. He was purchasing the rawhide at Ham len's harness store, when he saw Lyon apT preaching. Smart rushed upon him and, after accusing him of slandering his wife, he plied the rawhiae vigorously across Lyon's head and shoulders, one blow mak ing a terrible cut on the face. Lyon ran across the street into Beat's paper store, Smart following and applying the lash. Lyon went before the grand jury to have his assailant indicted.

Emanuel Blumenstiel, of Blumenstiel & Hirsch, lawyers for the judgment creditors, said to-day that the failure was caused by bad business, poor collections and deprecia tion. The liabilities are about 100,000 and the assets probably 560,000 to $70,000 in stock and accounts. They did a business of about 5250,000 a year. Colonel Shepard "n 111 Live In Style.

EEMEMBER THE SNUB. Envoys of the New Chilean Govera 'ment Are Making No Calls.' WILL WAIT FOE THEIR 'MINISTER. Gratified That Egan Has Seen Ordered to Recognize the Junta. LAZCANO "WILL HATE TO GO HOME rniOM A STAJT COBBESFOSDEXT. "Washington, Sept fi. The envoys of the Government now in power in Chile, Messrs. Montt and Foster, were much grati fied to-day when they were informed that this Government had cabled to Minister Egan to recognize the Junta as the Govern ment of Chile, and establish with it friendly diplomatic relations. The two envoys at once cabled their friends at Santiago tell ing them what has been done. It is not expected that the Chilean Gov ernment will rush into the diplomatic arms of America with any 'great amount of ardor. It can be imagined with what degree of friendliness the officials of the Congressional party will receive Minister Egan who did his best to prejudice this Government against them and accomplish their defeat. As to the representation of the new party here, it is assumed that Minister Lazcano will speedily be recalled. He was more than a diplomat in his ministerial capacity. He was a fierce supporter of Balmaceda. LAZCANO'S PABTISAN ACTIONS. He treated the envoys of the Congress ional party in the most outrageous manner imaginable, speaking of Senor Montt in his cable messages to his Government as "that scoundrel Montt " He had spies constantly on tneir neeis to Know wnere tney went and whom they met that he might have some guess in regard to what they were doing to gain the favor of this Government Of course the new Chilean Government will accept the statements of its envoys in' regatd to matters here, and it'will hardly be expected that they will urge the reten tion of Lazcano a day longer than can he avoided. The envoys have yet made no attempt to see the President nor any official of the State Department Their late snubbing still embitters them somewhat Mr. Foster, who acts as secretary of the envoy, at tempted to have a secret and personal con ference with both the President and Acting Secretary "Wharton, separately, merely to give their side of the qcstjon, a courtesy which was accorded the Congressional envoys sent to other Governments, but he was curtly refused. A BIG CLAIM FOB DAMAGES. "Were they to make the attempt now they would doubtless be cordially received, but thev will do nothing of the kind, and until a minister is formally appointed there will be no diplomatic communication between Chile and the United States, possibly not even through Minister Egan. It is a fanci ful notion of some of the officials of the State Department that the new Government will ignore Mr. Egan and refuse to appoint a Minister to represent them at "Washing ton, but Chile has too much at stake to do this. To begin with a tremendous claim for damages will probably be brought against this Government on account of the Itata affair, and that could not well be done without the establishment of friendly diplomatic relations. It will .be -the popu lar thing-inrChile to enter, suctte clalmand it'will undoubtedly be done promptly . Mr. Foster, of the Envoys, warmly con grajtulated the correspondent of TnE Dis patch this evening on account of the fact that The "Dispatch was the first paper, in America, being several days ahead of any other, to publish the. truth with regard to the csnduct of Minister Egan and its effect on this Government in leading it to really espouse- the cause of the dictator. LAZCANO SEES THE INEVITABLE. Senor Don Prudencio Lazcano, the Chil ean Minister, has given up the house which he has occupied here for some time and, accompanied by his wife, left the city this afternoon for New York. It is believed that he is on his way to Europe. If theie has been any question as to the proper treatment of the refugees aboard Admiral Brown's flagship, the Baltimore, it has been decided by the Admiral himself, as appears from-the following cablegram received by Secretary Tracy from him this afternoon: Valparaiso, Sept. 5 The Baltimore leftyesterdayforMollendo, Peru, taking away 20 refugees whoso lives are not safe In Chile no other way to reach neutral territory. The Baltimore Is to re turn without delay. Excitement is subsid ing rapidly. Baowir. THE NITBATE XING TALES. Didn't Help Keep Up the "War bnt Wishes Balmaceda Could he Shot. , BY CABLE TO TBS DISPATCH. London, Sept 0. Colonel North, who has just returned here from Homburg, denies in the "most emphatic manner that he spent money to keep the civil war in Chile going. He states, however, that his sym pathies, like those of most British merch ants, having been from the first with the Congressionalists, he helped in a legitimate manner by shipping large quantities of nitrate, upon which he paid duties, which. of course, went into the Congressional Treasury. Colonel North invariably speaks of the Congressionalists as the Constitutionalists, and makes no secret of his desire to hear that Balmaceda has been shot A Circular to the Powers. Pabis, Sept 5. A dispatch received to day at the Chilean Legation in this city from Santiago says that the Provisional Government of Chile has been constituted, and that it will send a circular letter to the powers anil all countries appearing dis posed to recognize the present administra tion of Chile.

He Made the Slayer of a Beantlfnl Girl Con fess and Then Successfully Defended Him The Popular Indignation Against Him Was Great San Fbancisco, Sept 8. Special. Judge Ogden Hoflman, of the United States' Court, who died recently, was the Oldest Federal Judge in the United States. Nearly CO years ago he was considered the most eloquent advocate at the bar of the city of New York. He added more to his notori ety than to his fame by his successful de fense in that city of a man named Robinson for the murder of Ellen Jewett, a beauti ful, but notorious woman. The murder created great excitement Bobinson was a well-known business and society young man of the city. "When he was acquitted the indignation of the citi zens manifested itself in various ways, one of them being the severe arraignment of Hoffman by tne people and press for the manner of his defense. It became pnblio that Hoffman required Bobinson to telLhim the truth before he would undertake the case, assuming that he could be defended more successfully if he knew he was guilty. Bobinson confessed to his attorney. It was discussed for a time by the papers and the magazines, as to the question of the moral wrong of such a defense, from the standpoint of professional ethics. The ver dict of the pnblio was against Hoffman, as well as his client Bobinson soon took his leave and went to Texas. Hoffman sev eral years after moved to California. In the, course of time he was appointed United States District Judtre and held the. office! for the remainder of njs life. He belonged to an old and honored Knickerbocker fam ily of New York.

No Truth In a Beported Conference for a Settlement NewYOBK, Sept 15. iSpcriaJ, It was said to-day that the proposed contest of the will of Mrs. Hopkins Searles br her adopted son, Timothy Hopkins, might be abandoned. The assertion that Mr. Hopkins had been called from this city to Methuen, Mass., to confer with Mr. Searles as to a probable settlement out of court was the foundation for this story. Bussell "Wilson, one of Mr. Hopkins' lawyers, who is stay ing at the Hotel Brunswick, told a reporter to-day that Mr. Hopkins is not at Methuen. "Mr. Hopkins," said Mr. "Wilson, "left here on Friday afternoon for Stockbridge, Mass., where Mr. Choate, who is associated with Judge Booth and myself in this case, has his summer residence. He4s io be Mr. Choate's guest until Monday. The state ment that Mr, Hopkins has recoived a com munication from Mr. Searles asking him to go to Methuen for conference is without foundation."

Sophie Guensgberg, the famous MKihllisW "wh0 ifas" sentenced in November last to im prisonment for life at Schlusselberg, an island of the Neva, 21 miles from here, has committed suicide. Sophie Guensgberg had been despondent for many months past, but recently she seemed to be regaining her usual spirits. Finally sne became possessed of a pair of scissors, and with them she hacked her throat in such a determined manner that she died in spite of the efforts made to save her life. Sophie Guensgberg was tried in Novem ber, 1890, at St Petersburg, together with btoeianotsky and jfreueia, on tne cnarge oi having been implicated in a plot against the life 'of the Czar. The tnal -was. con cluded on November 17, 1890, and all three of the persons named were condemned to be hanged.

The eagle, soaring high in thooir, spied the child, and slowly descended to the earth. "When about 200 feet from the t round the bird made a swoop down on the elpless babe. The squaw saw the swoop and supposed that it was alter a chicken, but i as horrified a moment later to see the eagle rise with the child ia its talons. "When about ten feet from the ground the bird dropped its load, but immediately swooped down on it again. . Failing in an attempt to pick up the child again, the eagle pecked at its throat and eyes, gouging one eye out and lacerating the child's body. The squaw soon reacned the spot and at tempted to drive the eagle off with a stick. The bird turned on her and pecked at her neck, inflicting a serious gash. It then rose in the air about 100 feet and, apparently uiituiguig its ujiuu, ftwuuueu ugwu again. At this moment the sound of two distant rifleshots were heard, and the bird fell to the ground. A minute later Powadje's party rushed up to make sure of their game. Powadje had scarcely reached the eagle when he heard a shriek from his squaw, and he discovered thathis child had been killed. It is not known whether the child was killed by its fall or by the loss of blood from its wounds. The eagle was one of the bald-headed variety, and was one of the largest ever seen here.

HEARTBROEGff PARENT H PURSUIT! rSrZCIAI. TXLEGBAir TO THE D1SPATCH.1 Dayton", O., Sept 5. An Innovation ia burglary-has been brought to light here and is causing an immense amount of talk. Burglars who steal all sorts of material valuables are common enough, but a real dashing ex-convict, handsome, well edu cated, of fine family, who not only steals! cash and other valuables, but a girl, is some thing new and Davton has him or it did have him last night To-night he is miss- inir, and with him pretty Ella Gray. Louis Motzel was well reared'and given; every advantage. He was handsome and daring, and even in early years beganio show signs of crookedness, breaking h.13 mother's heart and causing his father a world of trouble. Two years ago a series! of daring thefts and burglaries set the resi dence portion of the city wild. In nor case were the losses very heavy, but the smooth ness of the work; its frequency and the ntter absence of clews, caused alarm. For a long time the police were baffled, until the chief himself went to work on the case) and after an exciting chase one night cauzhtt the thief: CAUGHT BT HIS TTNCLE. f A sensational scene occurred, for in tha light of the prison, the chief recognized ia the captured burglar his own nephew, Louis) Motzel. Bravely the chief prosecuted tha offender and had him sent to the peniten tiary at Columbus for two years. Only a few weeks ago he was released and returned to his home nere. A month ago, in some manner not yet known, he met Miss Gray. She fell in lover on the spot and Motzel was apparently quite as much charmed as the girl, who is exquisitely beautiful, has a good home and was popular with alL Her father soon heard ot, Motzel's past and cautioned tha girl, who is an onlv child. Warnings were not heeded, and the couple continued to meet Then the father interposed his par ental authority and forbade the young peo- pie seeing each other. This had no other effect than to cause clandestine meetings. Tile father, fearing an elopement, has for" some da,ys kept the foolish girl indoors at) night and locked her in her room. THE LOCHLVVAB'S RAID. Some time after 1 o'clock this morning, while a heavy rain was falling, Motzel ap peared at a side door of the Gray home stead and with a regulation jimmy pried, open the door.

PLENTY OF SPIRIT E0K1IS Produced by Sirs. Etta Roberts to FrOvcj That She 1 Not an Impostor. Osset BAT, MAS3 , Sept 5. Special. There was an exciting seance at the Onset Grove campground, last night, in which Mrs. Etta Boberts, the "wire caga" medium, proved her right to remain in the company of Spiritualists. Public! opinion, which had turned so strongly against her when her fraudulent methods were exposed three weeks ago, has now turned the other way. She held the public seance at the Casino last night, under the protection of the association. Her wire cage was 'placed on the platform, and in the dim light it was subjected to the strictest tests the onlookers could think of. To make it impossible for a human form, masquerading as a spirit, to pass to and from the cage, a mass of fins thread was laced and intertwined on all sides of the cage. Dr. T. S. Hodgson, of Mlddlcborough, sealed the knot with his watch chain seaL The medium then proceeded to fulfill her agreement to show that she was no impostor. In all, something over 30 spirit forms came) out of the cage, -one after another. One, a lady, came out into the auditorium, took a -seat on the floor, gradually developed front a small person Into a large, rather broad shouldered woman of middle life, and with Dr. Storer at her side, walked up and down the auditorium in full sight of the auditors, At the conclusion of the test the cage was again carefully examined by the test com mittee, and the thread was fonnd to be in tact, with the seal unbroken.
