.General Sporting News ef the Day.
Local patrons of trotting and trotting
horsciwill be interested to hear from Joe
lleidcger, who has been inGermany for
some time training and driving trotting
horse. Yesterday the sporting editor of
this paper received a very interesting letter
from Joe, nnd the letter shows that the ex
I'ituhurgcr is doini; extremely well and
lliat trottintr in Germany is becoming ex
ceedingly popular.
"U'lien Joe wrote the letter he was in
Iierliu and has for some time past had the
very best kind of luck with his horses. A
bundle of procraimues. which he also for
warded, pliow that he is daily winning from
1 to 3 races. The German press is also be
ginning to draw attention to his good horses
and also to his splendid driving so that
Joseph seems to be on the highway to great
tuccess.
He states that the day before he wrote
the letter he sti.ued his mare Blue BelL
She conceded al' the other horses consider
able start and won in a jog. Bine Bell has
done so well that a match race i to take
place lietween her and Basique Bonita for
tfiOO marks. They are the two fastest
borses in the country and Blue Bell is to
have .TO meters start. Hardeger noes on to
say that Bonita trotted a half over the Ber
lin track in lrftto,, and her record over a
halt-mile track is 2:18i
He continues: "The Rnssian horses here
arc creat. Yesterday I saw one of them at
work and he went the mile easily in 2:2214,
with nothing but working shoes on. 2so
attention is paid here to shoeing, nor do
thev as a rule boot a horse. Amid all this
it is surprising to find that these Bus-nan
horses never break. The track here is the
finest I hae ever seen. There is none in
America that can eompare with it. Trot
.iiii; races and trotting horses are becoming
extremely popular throughout this country.
I think I will spend about two months in
Pittsburg next winter, although Germany is
good enough for me."
SOKE HISTORICAL BETS.
Interesting Reminders of the Old-TImo
Vlunscrs of the Turf.
It is quite probable that there are just
now no men who gamble quite so heavily,
except in stocks, a did the plungers' in
the early part of the century. There were
in England a do7en men who made $230,000
-looks" on the Ierby alone, and as late ns
i'Wii bookmaker" bet $.V:0 000 to $5,000
jigainst each of thiee horses In one race. In
1543 the owner of the Derby favorite
"hacked" him publicly to win $730,000, be
sides, the amount of his private bets The
rlnof bookmakers'" raid to one circle of
bettors S1.0-OOUO when "Lecturer" won the
C"-.irwitch. The on ner of more than one
Herhv winner collected frfM.OOO on the next
Rpttlimr day. and in several other years
would have pocketed $1 000,000 ir their colts
had been "first past the post."
M(htniciiwlio'iow have the money and
the "neivc" to make such enormous bet-
hai-c Riven up hore roc ins in liivor ot a
panic which has still hlithcr possibilities,
and instead of waerim; $500,000 ou a horso
and cilliujr it gambling thc deposit the
amc amount as "marsin" in a stock specula
tion unit call it business Although indi
viduals do not lay such heavy waser as were
i-onietimcs made by the "plungers" of old,
much more mono is watered now than was
risked 00 years uko The difference is that,
while then one man bet $100,000. now ten men
each bet $2010, and tho totnl amount
wagered Is doubled, of single bets made on
American horse races the following in
tancesnretnken from the records: Hamilton
bet Walton $1J.iki to $1000 :traiiit "Ulrntlc;"
llaiislitiin. bet Kellv 2f.ng0 to $5,0.X aRi'nst
"Ilenlopen:" Applebv and Johnson net 1.
l.orill.ml ll.OTrt lo $l.O01 ncalnst rirarro,"'
and JiVOOO to $j0ml against -I.co" in the same
race. In each of these casus it is prooable
that tho owner--, lisked ton times these
amounts on each of tin- races, as the bets
above stated wen nly made with one
"bookmaker." 77ie Forum.
THEY ABE HOME AGAIN.
Our Sluggers Return From Chicago nnd
Stromjly Denounce Umpire JlcCjuald.
After their exciUns; performance at Chi
cago our Milkers have returned heme again.
To a man they declare that rfbvcr was a
team of ball players nioic unfairly treated
than theiis w. is in Chicago by Umpire Mc-Qu-iid.
Thcplaveis could not be morn em
jihatleon this point, and they stafe defi
nitely that McQuaid is no longer flt to act ns
an umpire.
Manaser McGnnnhrle talks very plainly
Stlimit the matter. He claims that w liether
JIc(uaid ni'Mtit to give his townsman,
Ail-oil all tho Rames or not, the fact remains
iliat hi decisions were the most unfair that
lieOIcGunnhrlc) has seen during his entire
Twiseball experience. McQuaid insisted that
every ball IJaldw in pitched should cut tho
plate clean in the center. AH close do
Cisitim. were given to Chicago, and also
mam that were not close. Tho Chicago
team ras allowed to take ail tho liberties
th choe, and nothing was said to them.
Altogether, Manager McGunnijrle docs not
Ill-saute to-av that MiQnaid could not con
ceal the tact that he is extremely anxious to
have the Chicago win even- game they phly
between iin and the end ot tho season.
Friday's gaum has hi en protested and
Jlatiager Met. nnuiglc claims that it should
be thrown out.
Our tinkers will tickle the Cincinnati
ltcds this .iftcmoon, ami as is always the
cse when Lath:iri nnd hi- men are here, the
name w ill likely be a livclv one. It is prob
able thai Ktnir will Ditch fnrtim linnn, mnin.
nnd Mullauc lor the visitors. There is sure
to he considerable interest centered in tho
present series, as the local team have still a
chance tor tilth place, as the Cleveland",
have to tace the Chicagos for three gamos.
Then, are two interesting features in tho
two series. It 1'itisburg can defeat the Reds,
nnd the Cleveland-, are beaten, thou tho
local team iniiv step up to fljtli place. If tho
I'ittsburt's w m and the Clevelands also win,
then the Chicago may drop to second place,
which will make matter vcrv exciting, in
deed. Tlie local pUueis, at "any rate, are
determined to do tlicir b.st to beat the Cin
cinnati team.
A Chicago Opinion.
Tlio follow ing i- the opinion of the Chi
cago .Vuni.ni .Veiv. regarding JlcQuaid's
woik.'vcn in Tiiursday5gamo:
"Mr. McQuaid is one of the best umpires in
the countiy, hut he occasionally has lii
"viT" days and yesterday was his occa
sional. He was not any too accurate on balls
and itnkes and tw o or three of his other de
cisions wei-e positively egregious. Ho gave
tchrhern thiec-liaggcr in tho fourth inning
rai a hit that was two feet foul: he celled
Baldwin ontat first in I lie same inning w-hen
Baldwin bent the ball Inr enough to turn
nmuiiiland watch Anson catch it. Then he
did not gueCoikliilin b-ibc when he was hit
in- a pitched hull, ami there were other
Hmi'.iiliiMi hi woik was questioned. AH
Jhi-.sc things conspired to worl. tho Pittsburg-,
up toa ferment that was compatible
with lne weather, which is saying a good
doll. T!ie ra cd as hard as thev dared, but
till to n purpose. And in the meantime
Anson was working Just as hard, only from
a dlllVreiit kind of inspiration. He was
nrtrr everything in sight, and instead of
having his sense ot Justice touched by the
deci-ions against the Pittsburjrs he made
even kick his tortile mind could invent in
order to c-iusi- the umpire to believe ho was
oirending both sides equally. Poor McQuaid
was in a hot box aud it is no wondur he
made mistakes.'

Lawn tennis, football, boating and swim
ming give tho boys plenty of fnn when they
are not tudving. However, they all mean
business, and it is wonderful how soon the
students hnve girded on their working ar
mor after the long vacation. Every one
seems to feel that while ball and tennis arc
good in their place, good honest study is
much more important.
Our Y. M. C. A. is flourishing, and was ad-dre-seaat

Allen, of .Saratoga, N. Y. We shall probably
send a delegate to tho State convention at
Franklin early in October.

their guns last Monday, and. after a few
hours' hunt, came home with 16 birds. Well
done for boys.

A PLUCKY MAYOS'S DEATH.
He Arrested a Negro, nut Was Shot ISefore
Assistance Arrived.
SrAitTANsurr.o, S. C, Sept. 27. This
little city was the scene of a tragedy at C
p. JL to-day. Mayor J. Henncmau was
shot down without a moment's warning and
the murderer is now in jail in momentary
expectancy of being Jynched. A burly
neeroby the name of John Williams was
making a disturbance with his wife. Cries
were heard from that direction, when
Mayor Ilcnncman went to the house to find
out" the cause. He arrested Williams end
was trying to prevent his escape until the
police came to his assistance. "Williams
succeeded in pushing Henneman out of the
door, and while he was falling shot him iu
the back, killing him instantly.
Groups ot excited men are gathered all
over the city tnlking of the murder. At
this honr (8 r. M.) the. Jail is surrounded by
a howling molj. and lacks only a leader to
procure the prisoner. There is no doubt but
what South Carolina willaddanotherlyiich
ing to her list to-night Mayor Henneman
is the same man who some time ago pre
vented a mob from lynching murderer
-Turner, an influential farmer who killed his
brother-in-law. Henneman on this occasion,
mounted a cannon which the mob placed
near the jail, and with a pistol in his hand
shouted that he would kill the first person
who approached theiil.

Younostown, O., Sept. 27. James
ICane, a puddler, aged. .TO, employed nt the
Girnrd rolling mill, was found dead to-day,
with several ghastly wounds in his head,
lying in an alley in the rear of John Dur
kin's saloon. Kane received his pay yes
terday," nnd after paying a small bill called
at Dnrkin's saloon to settle an account
Two German laborers left him in the place
with Durkiu, and that was the last seen of
him alive.
Suspicion-points to Durkin and wife and
a boarder named Frank Nary, who have
been placed under surveillance pending the
Coroner's inquest now in progress. The
trio tell contradictory stories, and the feel
ing is that after Kane wns filled with
liquor he was beaten to death, and, after
rifling his pockets, the body was carried to
an allej', where it was found by nil Italian
woman. Only a nickel was found on him.
tvane was a Hercules In build, but of a
quiet disposition, and the wounds on the
scalp nnd fractured skull show clearly that
considerable force was used to kill him.
Mrs. Kane, tho widow, came here from
Nowport, Kv., where she has several child
ren, to visit her husband. Sho has had
12 childrenrsix now living. Kano formerly
lived at Wood's Run, Allegheny, and has
onlv been working a fow weeksat tho GIrard
mill. Though he drank occasionally, his
fellow employes assert ho wns always good
natured. The feeling against the Dnrklns and Nary
is very hitter Durkin was formerly a pnd
dler, hut has been in the saloon business two
vears. A-thorongh search was made of the
Durkin place, but no blo6d found. It is said
thnt'tho saloon floor was covered with saw
dust last night, but to-day it had been
scrubbed clean.
Kane was a member of the Amalgamated
Association, which.will take chavgo of his
remains, when the Coroner's inquest is
finished.
STRIKE AT EVEEETT.
The Manager's Wife Assists the Men In
D.inklng the Fnrnaco Fires.
Everett, Pa., September 27. Special.
There1 is trouble at tne Everett furnace, tho
men having struck for an advance of wages.
The men all quit work, but returned when
asked to work until Manager Thropp could
be called from Philadelphia. Mr. Thropp
was telegraphed, and answered to bank tho
furnaces and stop all work at the different
departments. This order closed down tho
Black Valley ore mines, tho limestone quar
ries near here, and tho coal mines and coke
ovens at Kearnev, on tho Broad Top road,
throwing several hundred men oufot work.
This prompt action rather frightened tho
strikers, and they have signified their inten
tion of going back to work Monday.
They are mostly natives ana Hungarians,
laborers in furnaces being very scarce, and
itls thought they jirould have gained their
point had they held out. This afternoon
Mrs. Davidson, the wife of the business
manager, assisted the -tevr non-strikers to
bank the furnace, thus closing down the
place temporarily at least.
OLD COIN SENT OUT.
The Economltcs Ship a Keg of Silver Half
Dollars to Beaver Palls.
Beaver Falls, Pa., Sept. 27. Sijcefat.
Yesterday the Economites shipped to the
Economy Savings Bank, in this city, a nail
keg full of old United States silver coins, all
ns bright and new as they had just come
from tho mint. The denomination of the
coins was prlhcipally half dollars, and the
dato was 1S23, showing that the coins have
1een hoarded away in Economy for nearly
70 years.
It is said that they have vast quantities of
the old coin stored nway in their strong
vaults at Economy, also gold coins, which
are guarded night nnd day by a few faithful
retainers, to "whom only is known the loca
tion of the treasuro house. Many of the fac
tories who paid their men yesterday secured
a quantity of these old coins, nnd last night
the town was flooded with them. Many
think that the slight run on tho Economy
Savings Bank caused the shipment of theso
old coins, but others say it is tho custom of
these peopl; to ship a quantity every year
and get it into circulation.

Locomotive Engineers Don't Seem to Want
i a Great Railroad Brotherhood.
Jersey City, K. J. , Sept. 27. The Jersey
City Opera House wns crowded from floor to
roof this afternoon by the members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, their
wives and friends. At the convention in
the morning Mr. Arthur spoke discoiirag
ingly of the proposition to consolidate the
order with other organizations 'of railroad
men, so as to make one grand brotherhood
of railroad employes. The matter was gen
erally discussed, but nobody spoke in favor
of it Acting Superintendent Brooks and
Trainmaster Mander, of the Pennsylvania
Bailroad, sat on the platform, as did Ben
jamin Hafner, of Port Jervis, the oldest lo
comotive engineer in this country, if not
in the world. He is 72 years old, and has
been driving a locomotive for 52 years.
A telegram from the Hon. Chauncey M.
Depew read: "I was taken sick yesterday,
and, while not serious, it prevents
my being with y ou to-day. I deeply re
gret missing the pleasure of meeting you.
I want to emphasize to the Brotherhood of
New Jersey and Pennsylvania what I have
said elsewhere, that the'Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Engineers has demonstrated by
its unequaled prosperity and strength thj
wisdom of its action, that its organization
is a model for trades unions. You are not
only the most successful of labor organiza
tions, but you have the respect and confi
dence of those whom you so admirably
serve the people and the corporations."

of the officers stated that Indiana would be
flooded with campaign literature at the
proper time.

CHEERS FOR RUSSIA.
Foreign Minister 'Ribot Makes a Yery
Pointed Speech.
FRENCHMEN GROW ENTHUSIASTIC.
Conscious of Her Strength the Republic
Becomes Confident. .
A STATUE OP GEX. PAIDHERBE UMEItiED
Parts, Sept. 27. Foreign Minister
Bibot at Paunee to-day unveiled a statue of
General Faidherbe. After paying a tribute
to the military virtues of the General as an
example to the army, ho traced the phases
of the Bepublic since dts foundation, and
said :
"Henceforth she Is the" mistress of
her own destiny. Her position
has been consolidated through adhesion to
the principles of prudence and modera
tion. Europe, whose attitude was for some
time uncertain, lias at length rendered
France justice. A sovereign far sighted in
pacific designs nnd as firm as France has
publicly manifested the deep sympathies
uniting the two countries 'cries of
"Vive La Czar; Vive La Kussie."
and the Iiussian nation has joined
the Czar m extending cordial friendship to
France. 5cou know how well these senti
ments are reciprocated. The Cronstadt in
cidents found an echo in the smallest of our
hamlets as much js in our Government
spheres.
FREXCII SAILORS MADE WELCOME.
"Nevertheless thev have not caused ns to
forget what went before and what followed.
Our hearts have been touched by the senti
ments of friendship extended to the French
sailors. "Wherever they went they found
France respected, as was seen in thedemon
strations in their honor in Denmark and
Sweden, and finally at Portsmouth, where
Queen Victoria received them in person and
accorded them an imposing, conrteous wel
come. "These events have made an impression
on the whole world that will not be eflaced.
France has felt that She is becoming herself
in re-entering the European equilibrium
as an indispensable factor offering an addi
tional guarantee of peace. From this state
of things a new situation has sprung, but it
does not mean a new policy. It is not a
moment when we are in a position to culti
vate peace with dignity. We shall re
expose ourselves in mak'sng a compromise.
CONFIDENT OF THE FUTURE.
"France, conscious of her strength, is
confident in the future, and will continue to
show the qualities of prudence and sang
froid whereby she has gained the esteem of
other people." Cheers.
Ata subsequent banquet M. Kibot m
alluding to the 'entente with ltussia, said
that the Government had completed a work
begun by its predecessors upon a point of
the highest importance to the future des
tinies of France, effecting a change in the
position which the nation occupied in
Europe. Shouts of "Vive Ribot " It was a
great honor to the Ministry to have shared in
such events and to have paved the way for
them in accord with Parliament and public
opinion.
"The time for the collaboration of the
Chambers and the Government," he added,
"is approaching. Whatever happens, we
have the knowledge that we have worked
well and placed ourselves heart and soul at
the service of the republic." Prolonged
cheers. -
THE FRENCH WILL EAT P0HK.
The nog Prohibition Is Sore to Bo With
drawn Next Month.
Paris, Sept 27. When the Chambers
resume legislative work next month the
efforts of Mr. Iteid, the American Minister,
to secure the withdrawal of the pork prohi
bition are certain to be crowned with suc
cess. The Committee of the Senate will
give immediate attention to the bifl passed
by the Chamber of Deputies. In official
circles the opinion prevails that the rescind
ing of German pork prohibition was accel
erated by the vote of the French Chamber
of Deputies; that Germany, seeing that the
French Government had "resolved to with
draw the French prohibition, seized the
chance afforded by the postponement of the
French bill to get ahead in complying to the
American demands.
The Brazilian Government has approached
M. Ribot in regard to the projected pro
hibitive tariff on coffee fixed under Meline's
report and approved by the Chnmber of
Deputies at lfX? francs per hundred kilo
grams. Prazjl takes annually 00,000,000
francs worth of French products, and among
the leading arguments that will be used to
induce the Senate to modify the proposed
tariff is the danger of Brazil retaliating a
result which would aid the American
scheme to capture the Brazilian markets.
Killed by a Falling rintform. '
Ghestt, Sept. 27. An accident, resulting
in the killing of several persons and the in
jur ng of many others, occurred at a charity
fete held in this city to-day. A platform
erected forthe occasion became overcrowded
and the manager and a number of workmen
went underneath to make an examination,
in order to ascertain whether the structure
was likely to withstand the strain. Sud
denly the whole platform collapsed. The
men "underneath were crushed to death, and
many who were on the platform were seri
ously injured. r
A British Steamer Ilnrned.
Lokdok, Sept 27. At 4 this morning a
fire broke out in the freezing room 'of the
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Home which was in her dock at Greenock,
where she was undergoing alterations.
The fire rapidly sained headway. Fifty
btate rooms on the main deck "were de
stroyed, and it is feared that the whole
steam is doomed. All the workmen's tools
on board the vessel were lost. It is esti
mated that amount of damage done will
reach 30,000.
China in an Ilnmble Attitude.
Berlin, Sept. 27.-The Chinese Ambas
sador has had a protracted conference with
the Foreign Minister, to whom he imparted
a conciliatory note similar to that communi
cated to M. Ribot, the French Foreien Min
ister, on Thursday lost.
Russia's movements in Pamir.
Calcutta, Sept 27. Much anxic is
felt in regard to Russia's movements in
Pamir. It is rumored that Lieutenant
Davison, a colleague of Captain Yqunghus

A Very Expensive Funeral.
Moscow, Sept 27. The imperial party

NO BRIBERY FUND.
THE COBDEX CI.UB DENIES THAT IT
IS HELPING CAMPBEIX.
President Thomas Bailey Potter Says the
Story Is Absolutely False No TJteratnre
Even Is Being Sent to This Conntry at
Present
London, Sept. 27. The New York Her
ald conespondent has cabled the following
to his paper: The extraordinary charge
that the Cobden Club has raised a secret
fund of $l,000,000to bo used in bribing Ohio
voters and securing the defeat of Major
McKinley has just been cabled over to
England from American newspapers. I
immediately went to see Thomas Bailey,
Potter, M. P., head of the Cobden Club,
and he was glad of an opportunity to deny
the story.
"This charge against the Cobden Club,"
he said, "is utterly false. It is simply
made to gammon voters into supporting
Major McKinley at the polls. But it s
certain to do a great deal of harm in stir
ring up a feeling of hatred against Great
Britainnnder the supposition that there is
a conspiracy to corrupt the people nnd be
tray them in the interests of British manu
facturers. I have just heard that charge
that the Cobden Club has a secret fund of
51,000,000, which it is using to bribe voters
in una
"It is nuite true that nn to 1879 I caused
a largo number of leaflets on the subject of
YVAA tvnfl. 4a 1.a A.A..lnlJ ! &..!.... T

had the strongest faith in the common
sense of Americans, and we all believed
they would be glad to receive from Great
Britain some light upon the beneficial re
sults which followed the adoption of the
free trade policv here. We may have sent
200,000 of these leaflets in all, but that is
the only effort we have ever made across
the water.
"Why should we attempt to bribe Ameri
can voters : wenaveworlc enough to do
ln'Oiir own country without interfering with
the affairs of foreign countries. I can't con
ceive how any reasonable human being
could for a moment listen seriously to these
stories. We believe here in England that
the Deople of the United States are quite
capable of managing their own interests,
and would very properly resent any at
tempt on the part of outsiders to meddle in
American politics.
"We believe that farmers are already be
ginning to see the truth. If Mr. McKinley
bhould be elected to govern Ohio it would
be regarded in England as a great victory
for the economic idea which he represents
and would cause a great deal of joy among
English statesmen who advocate fair
trade as opposed to free trade. In
other words, it would stimulate the
English high .tariff party. It is not in
America alone that the masses must be
vigilant. If the landlords in England had
a chance they would clap a duty on cereals
and by shutting out competition would
raise tho price of their harvests and so in
crease rents. Free trade has put the En
lish agricultural laborer in a better position
than the agricultural laborers of America or
any other country."

In last week's report St Paul should have
been increase 3.5 per cent, instead of de
crease 3.3 per cent. The large increase in
New York and Boston is probably due to
the activity in the stock market. The fact
that the total, excluding New York, shows
nn increase, is a favorable indication of the
beginning of prosperity, which is expected
to follow the harvesting of this year's crops.
In comparison with the previous week, the
total shows an increase of ?172,227,072, or
14.1 percent, while outside New York there
is a decrease of ?9,8or,902, or 2.0 per cent
A ROMANTIC COURTSHIP.
An American Lady Becomes a Catholic to
Marry an Austrian Lieutenant
New York, Sept. 27. A romantic court-,
ship which began at Austrian, Spa., just
two years ago will end in a wedding in this
city early iu December. The bride elect is
Miss Cora Calm, daughter of Mr. Henry
Cahn, the millionaire importer of No. 157
Sixty-third street and tlie bridegroom is
Lieut Herr Oscar Von Calm of the ninth
Hussars, Aide de Campe o.f Hereditary
Duke Ferdinand Este, who "will succeed
the present Emperor Franz Joseph on the
throne of Austria. What will surprise
Miss Calm's friends and coreligionists- is
the fact that she will renounce her faMh
and become a communicant af the Catholic
Church, to which her intended husband
belongs.
The history of the courtship teems, with
romance. It was a case of love at first I
sight. Miss Cahn and Lieutenant Von
Calm met at Baden, a fashionable watering
place near Vienna, a year ago last summer.
Duke Ferdinand and the mother of the
groom for a long time objected to the
match, but at last gave in to the entreaties
of the young man. The young lad v's par
ents have no objection to her choice, but
did not like the idea of her renouncing her
faith.

THE STATE AROUSED.
Contimeed from first page.
to express his opinion on this subject. The
Governor will have to take the responsi
bility for his action in this matter, and the
Senate will be called upon to act as a jury.
While I havea very decided opinion on the
necessity and propriety of the call for an
extra session, I do not think any Senator
should go so far as to prejudge the cases of
the men charged with misconduct in office.
A Senator Shouldn't Commit Himself.
"I do not find any fault with the action of
the Governor," he continued, "for the Con
stitution gives him that right, but you can
appreciate the fact that no Senator should
in advance express an opinion."
It was suggested to the Senator that no
opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the
accused was wanted, so much as an ex
pression as to the expediency of the procla
mation as a move in politics. To tnis he
replied: "I have no opinion to offer."
Postmaster McKean had his coat off and
was ridding the drawer's of his desk of
superfluous papers, in anticipation of the
move to the new building. He was exceed
ingly pleasant, but had nothing to say as to
the wisdom of Pattison's move.
"I have not even read the proclamation,"
he said as he mopped off the perspiration,
but I have heard the boys talking about it
all day. Just say that I am too busy to say
anything about it," he continued,
as he littered the floor with an
other batch of defunct documents.
Ex-Postmaster John B. Larkin said.
when questioned as to the probable results
of the move, that he would not like to say
much about it He became warmed upon
the subject, however, and talked freely.
Earfcln Sustains the Governor.
"lam not in the habit of talking on State
politics," said the ex-postmaster, "but after
reading the proclamation carefully, I am
satisfied that the action taken was the proper
thing to do. Those under the Governor,
should give a proper nccount of their con
duct They are responsible to him. Those
people McCamant, Boyer and Livsey
are open to suspicion by the charges and
developments of the newspapers, and if
they are honest men they ought to court an
investigation. The people ought to know
the facts and have a rigjit to demand a
hearing. The investigation should be
above party politics, and if prop
erly conducted will have no
political effect Pattison, I do not
imagine is that sort of a man. If
there is no ground for these suspicions, tho
call and results would only hurt the Demo
cratic party. If the accounts are found to
be correct, the result cann'otbut help the Re
publican party. Governor Pattison thinks
we ought to have honest servants in office,
and seems to be just as willingto investigate
Democrats as Republicans. Personally, all
information I receive is from the news
papers. I have no interest in the matter,
save my interest in the success of the
party, and as a citizen and taxpayer, but I
cannot help thinking that the Governor is a
very sincere and upright man. Nearly
everybody thinks that there is something
wrong with the treasury accounts.
No Politics About It.
"Some people want to warp this into a
political question," said Mr. Larkin with
much earnestness, "bnt these people do not
know what they are talking about.
The question is not whether
a man is rich or poor, but
whether he is a thief or an honest man.
The enquiry is perfectly proper as to the
character and morals of public servants,
and their honesty. It should be known
that public money rfs properly expended.
I do not want to reflect on Mr. Livsey, but
he, above all other people, knows about
treasury methods. He has been connected
with the Treasury as Treasurer and cashier
for 12 years and has a knowledge no other
man can have. He has been a trusted city
and State official for 20 years, and knows
all about the books and money where
it can be placed to bring the best results. I
think that if he will not return and testify
there ought to be some means to bring him.
He owes it to the State and his jiarty
friends to come home and testify.
"Tht Senate ought to give a fair hearing
to the men accused and render a verdict on
tho merits of the case, without regard to
politics." .
William Flinn, whose opinion on matters
political are much songht after, was not at
home. He is in Philadelphia.
Mayor Gourley had not carefully read the
proclamation, and carefully evaded per
tinent questions concerning its wisdom or
political significance.

ployment of Hebrews, he refused to go on
strike with them, but remained at work.
Since then the strikers several times called
him a scab, and this, it is thought, unsettled
his mind and drove him to suicide.

Oklahoma Boomers Waiting for the Big
Race for Corner Lots.
GrrnreiE, O. T., Sept. 27. A courier
just in from Chandler brings the following
dispatch: They are still at the post and iu
all probability the flag will not
fall for the great race for town
lots until Monday noon. The people abont
the site are as restless, but the restlessness
is kept within bounds by the military and
United States deputy marshals. Several
fights have occurred, but no one so far has
been severely injured. The people who are;
still hanging on now arc determined to stay
with the game if it takes all winter.
When the town site is opened at least
2,000 people on foot and horseback will
make a dash for the center, each intent on
getting a corner lot. It will be a hazardous
dash through woods and over rocks, tha
final result, of which may be a list of dead
and wounded.
