Memphis, Tkxj.-., Oct. 1. The South
has once more distinguished itself by a
wholesale lynching. The number of vic
tims is equal to that of the famous New Or
leans affair, and the excuse for their deaths
far less tenable. But the unfortunates are
black, and no toreipn country will enter a
protest because of their sudden taking off
Ten more of the striking negro cotton
pickers have been lynched. Yesterday's
dispatches told how three of the Lea county,
Ark., rioting cotton pickers had been shot
and five captured who were then en route
to the Marianna jaiL
They never reached it. After they were
captured and secured the posse captured
four more and the whole nine were started
to J31I on foot in charge of Sheriff Derrick
and his deputies.
The Fate of the Strike leader.
The leader of the strikers, Ben Patterson,
was shot before the nine were captured.
He escaped being killed outright when shot
by feigning death till the firing ceased. He
only delayed the reality a few hours. Be
ing too badly wounded to go either afoot or
horseback to jail he was put aboard the St.
James Lee in charge of Deputy Sheriff
.Frank Mills, who was to take him to Mari
anna, via Helena. He was chained to a
piece of machinery on the boat.
At Hackler's Landing the boat was sig
naled to stoj). As soon as it touched the
bank 13 men armed witli "Winchesters
boarded it and demanded Patterson of Mills,
who, tinder the persua-he powers of 13
"Winchester rillec, led the way to where he
was. The trembling wretch was carried
ashore, and as the boat pulled from the
shore the 'Winchesters told the story of his
fate.
Intercepting the Sheriff's Posse.
His slayers struck out across country to
intercept Sheriff Derrick and his nine pris
oners. Heading them off, they demanded
of the Sheriff his prisoner. He and the
two deputies with him could not cope with-
the determined body of men which con
fronted thrm, so there was little hesitation
or parley.
The nine men were lynched without cere
mony or loss of time. This is the first seri
ous trouble with the blacks since the For
rest City riots, two jears ago, but it is
claimed the whites had considerable provo
cation. Under the leadership of dangerous
negroes there is telling where the trouble
would have ended hadn't it been summarily
dealt w ith.
As it was a white overseer, Tom Miller,
was shot to death from behind and a gin
house fired, together with a lot of cotton
destroyed, and the assassins and incendiaries
banded together. Then the outraged white
citirens --tarted on the pursuit which ended
so tragically.

JAY GOULD'S COLLAPSE.
STARTLING BRKAK-DOWN OF THE
IZARD OF WALL. STREET.
An Hysterical Attack Renders Him Almost
Speechless at a Directors' Meeting He
Itnrles Hit Face in a Handkerchief and
Bursts into Tears.
New- York, Oct. L Special So many
reports have been circulated in the last few
years concerning the health of Jay Gould
that "Wall street people are not inclined to
accept any but the most authentic state
ments regarding the matter. There was
consequently the nsnal -skepticism down
town to-day when it was Reported that at
the meeting ot the Missouri 'Pacific directors
this afternoon Mr. Gould had broken
down completely, and thus acknowledged to
his fellow-directors that his health was
badly impaired. But the story was ascer
tained to be substantially correct.
The facts as learned trom various trust
worthy sources are that Mr. Gould's nerves
gave way when he attempted to reply to
Russell Sage's speech, in which Mr. Sage
advocated the payment by the Missouri Pa
cific dire' tors of a dividend of 4 per cent.
Mr. Gould has always been considered a
strong man in making speeches at such
meetings, so the directors expected to hear
sound wisdom from him. But instead Mr.
Gould is said tobavebeon almost incoherent
in his utterances. None of the directors
could understand him, and linallj he appre-
"-', iixiibti.t . hue utiiiciiaauh oiiimiiuii,
and suddenly sat dow n, burst into tears and
covered his face w ith his handkerchief.
The attack was of a hysterical character.
It was what his physician had always said,
that Mr. Gould was particularly disposed to
ward an intensely nenoui stato, resulting
from life-long mental tension and impei
fect digestion. All the directors w ere con
cerned about the mishap to Mr Gould, and
the meeting adjourned. Subsequently Mr.
Gould explained that ho had been extremely
nervous for the last few weeks, and that
moreover his old stomach troubles were
affecting him. It was ascertained that Mr.
Gould wr.s similarlj overcome at a meeting
ot the Union Pacific directors about ten
davs aeo.
Mr. Gould was first afflicted by these se
vere nen ous attacks in 1SS4, at the time of
the downfall of the Metropolitan Bank, the
Marmo Tank and Grant & Ward, and has
nc cr fuliy rocot ercd from them.
THE SING SING EXECUTIONS.
Dr. McDonald Belle es Death Came In
stantaneously to the Four Victims.
Albahv, Oct. L Special. Dr. Carlos Mac
Donald, who, with Dr. S. B. Ward, prepared
the official report of the execution of the
fotirmurderors at Sing Sing, July 7, was seen
at tho Capitol to-day and asked why his re
port contained no general conclusions or
recommendations Ho replied- "Our un
derstanding of the task set before us was
simply to make a report of the occurrences,
the details of the execution, as we as wit
nesses oberved them. Personally, I have
no theories or views on the subject of elec
trical executions noi even of capital punish
ment. I was asked with other medical men
to observe the new method of capital pun
ishment and to report the results of it."
"Was there anyone of the witnesses who
doubted whether unconsciousness instantly
followed the initial contact?"
"Not one of us expressed or had the
slightest doubt that the prisoner was
rendered unconscious the Instant that the
po crtnl electric current cammenccd its 300
alternations per second through his s)s
tem. Tho only question which we found it
necessary to discuss was as to the duration
or tlio contact and the interruption of the
circuit by teason of the moisture about the
electrodes drying up. I am satisfied that
tho law fulfills its purpose of producing
death instantaueousU, but am not satisfied
that it is altogether perfect. Inasmuch as I
believe the secrecy thrown about it and tho
exclusion of the press are both unnecessary
and servo no good purpo:e."
THE MASSACRE OF CHINAMEN
On the 'nake River Not Tet Taken Notice
ofl the Chinese Legation.
Vasuij.oton, Oct. 1. The attention of Mr.
Ho, of the Chinese Legation, has been called
to the disp'itch from San Francisco relating
to a statement of Hugh McMillan, which it
Is said throws liclit on the murder
of '.It Chinese miners" on the Snake river,
Oregon, fonr years airo. Mr. Ho s ild the Le
gation had not received any notice of Mc
Millan's statement. If Vice Consul Boo at
f-an Francisco has icceivcd a statement, as
reported, he will make a thorough investi
gation ot the matter and report its results to
the Locution at Washington. If it throws
:m licht on the tragedies, then the Minister
w ill bring it to the attention or the State De
partment and ask foi the punishment or the
perpetrators, of the outrages and compensa
tion tor the losses suffered.
When the tragedies occurred four years
asro. said Mr. Ho. the Minister called the at
tention of the United Stntcs Gov emment
and asked tor the punishment of the mur
dciers, but nothing was done, as the Stato
officers to w bom the request was referred
wcie unable to discover them. Mr. Ho could
not recollect exactlv how many men were
leported killed at the time, for whose rour
dci s reparation was asked, but ho thought it
nas eight or ten.

Campbell Talks to the Sheep-Raisers
of Eastern Ohio, With
TIN TLATE AS A SIDE ISSUE.
Tho Mills of Mingo Junction Close Down
for the Governor,
AS THEY LIKEWISE DID FOR M'KINLEY
3FR0M A STAFF COBBESPOKDKVT.l
Steubenville, O., Oct. 1. To reach
this town from Youngstown Governor
Campbell and his party passed through
Pittsburg to-day, coming over the Panhan
dle this afternoon. He had an opportunity
to see the now famous McDonald oil field,
which continues to be more of a surprise
every day. "W. P. Logan and J. M. Guffy,
two oil magnates, pointed out to the Gov
ernor what money can be made in grease.
Mr. Campbell was met at the depot here
by a large crow d of Democrats with a band,
lie was loudly cheered, and, without much
delay, was hustled off to the big Opera
House, where he made his speech to an en
thusiastic crowd. Oil Inspector Joe Dowl
ing remarked that, if the Governor con
tinued to be as well received there was no
doubt about his election. Some one sug
gested that Mclvinley was also having large
audiences and good receptions and the
standard of judgment would have to be
chang.tl.
HIRED HIS OWN BAND.
"Why, rYeniember," continued Mr. Dow-
ling, ''two years ago the candidates didn't
have such an easy time. In many places
Campbell and Meeker slipped into a town
and hired a brass band to let the people
know they nere present. Reception com
mittees were not at the station, and yet he
was elected. This fall things are changed,
and the Governor is welcomed everywhere.
It shows how much interest is being taken
in the campaign.
"The Governor remarked the other day
that it wonld please him greatly if some
body would forge another ballot box con
tract. The little incident which cooked the
goose for Mr. Foraker tw o years ago has
not been forgotten. The Governor has a
way of taking the people into his confi
dence. In every town that he appears he
tells the voters confidentially that lie needs
about 15,000 Republicans to' stand by him
and he would like to hae their support.
Jefferson county, in which this city is
located, has a Republican majority of l,bO0.
Like most of the river counties, it is one of
the intrenched sections of the grand old
party. But Republicans will turn out as
well as Democrats to hear a Democratic
speech. This was demonstrated in the
Western Reserve.
SURPRISED AT THF. GREETING.
The Governor was surprised at the crowd
that greeted him in the Republican city of
Steubenvillc. Not long since Major Mc
Kinley addressed a meeting here and the
Democrats claim that he didn't have more
hearers than Mr. Campbell. The Governor
was fagged out at Youngstown, but he was
feeling better this afternoon, lie spoke with
his wonted sprightliness and vigor. The
Opera House was decorated with bunting
and a row of potted flowers and plants
hemmed tho stage. Judge J. H S. Trainer
was tho Chairman, and what Is unusual for
political meetings, the Itev. Mr. Williams
offered a praj or. He prayed that laws would
bo passed that would redound to the glory
of God and the benefit of tbe people.
Tbe familiar face of Al Carlisle, a member
of the State Executive Commltfeer'was"
noticed on the streets. He occupied ft good
seat in the parquet. The Governor appeared
on tho platform holding a big peach in his
hand. He said it had been given to him In
Flttsburjrns the product of Pennsylvania, a
firotected State. When ho was a boy and
iving under a low tariff the peaches were
small and scrubby. As they hud increased
in size he said It was about as fair to claim
that the protectU e sj stem had done it as It
was to attribute the country's prosperity to
tho principles represented by McKinley.
A HOMILY ON WOOL.
As Jefferson, with its neighbor Harrison,
is one of the leading wool-grow ing counties
in the State, the Governor paid considera
ble attention to tho tariff on this product.
In ins speech Mr. Campbell said:
"Last j car we had a tariff of 10 cents on
w ool and it sold for 3.1 cents. This year tho
duty is 11 cents and it is selling for27 cents
per pound. Tho fact is the people by their
thrift, industry, inventive genius, and by
reason of free institutions lime made this
country great and not tbe tariff.
"I believe in America. I believe In Amer
ica for Americans, and that w e are able to
stand alone and compete with any nation
for the commeicc that passes between them
and us on the high sea 8. Excuse my voice;
it is husky. I have been trj ing to carry the
Western Reserve. Laughter. Thov ho.a
discovered up theie that tho war is over.
They have been instructed to vote as they
shot and it will be on the right side this
timo. They have found out they have crown
poorer. One way I used to con ince them
that they aro Kotng over on the right track
was to show them where the increased
w ealth of the country had gone. They wero
not getting It. I am going to try to do some
thing in this county, whore a Democrat
ought to have some show for his life.
Laughter.
LOSSES OP THE FARMER.
"ir there is a laimer in Jefferson county
w ho is richer to-day than he was ten yeais
ago 1 would like to see him; but the woods
arc full of grangers who have grown poorer.
In ISsO the appraised alno of larm lands in
this county was $8,813,1)00; in 1890 it was J0,
024,000. The land had depreciated $2,2SO,000.
1 ou have had somo big Hoods in these years,
but the water did not carry away the acres.
Add to this the ical value and the sum
which you have lost by shrinkage is double
the above amount.
"If you had not bad the legislation enacted
In the interest of certain fa ored classes, you
would not have lost this money. Hair the
wealth in the countiy is in the hands or 25,000
men. Are they more deserving than yoivj
Grant them brains, blind luck and tood op
portunities, could they make so much
money alone by their efforts? It is the legis
lative system that has favoied them. (Ap
plause.) I am a farmer, but I am not solng
back to it so long asl can hold the Job I now
have. (Laughter.) Down my way we aie.
too good farmers to try to raise sheep under
a protective tariff. (Laughter.)
THE TABirr ON WOOL.
"1 ou voted for Republican Congressmen;
thoy advanced tho duty on wool, but tho
confounded rellows who buy it w on't come
to tho hcra'tch. Laughtei. At the same
time there were some crafty fellows, tho
buj ers, combing tho w ool over j our eyes.
Laughter. They wanted the tauff ad
ancedon wool. Now somebody must havo
been wrong. Both nere not right. A
tariff on wool can't put up the pi ice and
lower it at the same time to suit all classes.
Taking the duty off sugar makes it cheaper,
w bile raisins it on tin plato will also lower
the price. This is queer logic." Laughter.
Here the Governor quoted trom a letter
written by Thomas Dolan, the wool manu
facturer, in which he says that the protec
tionist Congressmen promised that putting
up tbe dutv on wool would lower the price.
Ho said Judge Lawronce King, of the Ohio
Shepheids, was now complaining that the
w ool buj ers wouldn't tome up. The Loid
chastens those whom ho loves, and ce
thought tho wool groweis had now gotten
enough light to show them how to vote.
Natui! law can't bo changed by tariffs.
Judge Lawrence allowed tho buyers to write
tho wool clause and he now talks of con
spiracy. And the woolen goods makers
have gone over to using shoddy. It is old
wool and the cloth's full of disease, ground
up, continued the Governor.
Tho Lowell Manufacturing Company testl
fled that a large portion of ttieir goods wero
made out or shoddy and cotton. Why, the
result is that the wool tariff only protects
the rag-pickers, for shoddy has gone up.
Laughter. Well, I am willing to tako the
larmcrs and let McKtuley nave the rag
pickers." Laughter. Hero the Governor
read a fuuny poem that somebody had writ
ten, taking off McKlnnley's position on tbe
wool question.
TIN PLATE FROM ArOLLO.
' Speaking of tin plate Mr. Campbell said:
"I have been trying to locate the tin plate
factory. Now it has bobbed up at Apollo.
I want to read a letter from a man In APolJ'
He says they aro not using tin and the build
ing is 7 by 9 laughter with a high boaJ
fence around it. That is protection. IB"
arious outbreak. A voice, "give it to them
Jim". Ifl were you I would punch Major
McKinley for allowing this great industry
to go over into another State. More laugns.j
Occasionally through the press the oia
stories about the Governor's gambling in
stocks in Wall street are revived. He tola
mo that he has not owned a share of. n?t
kind or stock ror 11 years, Bnd he wished J.
would publish this statement.
In the evening Governor Campbell went
out to Mingo Junction. The steel plant ana
furnaces in the latter place were closed
down for an hour, to give the men a chance
to hear him. The former homo of Logan,
ihe Indian Chief, was gaily decorated ' uls
nonor. A special train was run from Steu
benvllle and it was packed with people.
When McKinley was here recently the mills
were stopped for a short time while lie
talked to tho workmen. The owners aie
Republicans but they extended tho same
privilege to Mr. Campbell. A platform baa
been erected in the open air, alongside the
hill. Men and boys sat around on tbeledges
and stood in front of the stand. When the
the time had expired for tbe mill men the
whistles sent out a shrill blast on the night
air for the men to return to work.
THE TARirr AND WAGES.
"I ask you," said Mr. Campbell, beginning
his speech, "to name an Industry in which
wages have been advanced since tho tariff
went into effect (a voico 'Nary, a one'). Ap
planse. I am a laborer myself, and w ill
work more than eight nours, but I always
apply the rule to other people, and this is
my Proposition: Major Mckinley made a
tariff hill to enhance tho value or wases. I
"Will give the Major all the votes of the men
w nose wages navo ueen raiseu.anu x win "
an tno rest. Appiausc.j my, ""
cairvthe State with a majority or 50,000.
Applause. I am not complaining about
the employers."
Tho Goernor then cited industries In
which wages were cut. He claimed under
the tariff that this condition would not be
come better. The Governor said further
that when notices ate posted in the shops
thnt thnre 1m rnlnir fn be a chance, the men
cau rest assuied their waces aro not gblng
up, but down. In discussing the financial
question, he asked which was better, a
promise to pay a silver dollar 01 tho silver
dollar itself. Silver bullion Is piled in the
Treasury ana paper money is issued for it,
redeemable in silver. He added that the
Govei nment w ould never ha e gold enough
to redeem them.
"When the Republicans aro pushed into a
corner thoy tall back on the old cry of low
wages in England," ho continued. "What
has brought down the price of steel rails in
America? Youieplv, the taiiff. Then what
has reduced the pneo in England? Is it rair
to say tree trade? Italy has the highest
tariff in Em opo. The wages paid are loner
than in Gcimanv, and they aie less in the
latter countiy than infiee trade England.

An Enthusiastic Meeting at Jackson Tho
Largest Procession Ever Seen In the
County Escorts McKinley The Major
Speaks on Silver and Protection.
Jackson, O., Sept. 1. Special If im
mense crowds and enthusiasm are indica
tions, Jackson county will increase her
usual majority by 50 per cent this fall. It
seems as if half of the Republican voters of
the county were in town to do honor to the
champion of honest money and protection.
The Zach Chandler Club, 300 strong, met
Major McKinley at the depot and escorted
him to the hotel. At 11 o'clock the largest
procession ever seen in the county was
formed, consisting of several hundred on
horseback-and hundreds in all sorts of ve
hicles. The mining towns of Glen Roy and Coal
fnn nihleil hundreds of enthusiastic work-
Jngmen to the parade, a large number ct'
whom were miners dressed lntneir working
clothes and riding bank mules. Ten"bands
and a drum corps was scattered through the
procession. Mottoes floated everywhere,
half of which were borne by the working
men from tho mining region. One of the
banners bore the significant inscription:
"Glen Rov Workingmen Want a Dollar
Worth 100 Cents." Another banner bore on
one side: "Sherman, Foraker, Foster, and
McKinley our Educators," and on the re
verse side, "Mills of Texas, Gordon and
Crisp, of Georgia, Democratic Educators "
At the rair grounds in the afternoon be
tween 7,000 and 8,000 peoplo listened to his

Kansas Commissioners Say It Most Be
Either Rebuilt or Torn Up.
Tofeka, Oct. L Tho Kansas Railway Com
mission is bringing to a crisis the matter of
lebuildlng the Kansas Central Brail way, a
branch of the Union Pacific. A j ear ago the
Commission reported to the Governor that
the road was not in fit condition for the
safety of the traveling public. Early this
morning, after a tour over the road with
General Manager Clark, the Commission
ordered the company to reDnild the road.
The railroad alleged inability to make the
repaiis, pleading tho poverty of the Union
Pacific. The Commission issued a per
emptory order confirming its previous order,
and threatened to levoke the companj's
chartei.

A LETTER FEOM THE FUGITIYE
In Which Ho Says He Is Getting Along
Yery Nicely where He Is.
THE MISSIVE SENT TO HIS ATTORNEY
Fitzsimmons was heard from yesterday.
It was noon, at the Hotel Duquesne, and
the manner of receiving the news from the
fugitive was attended by features quite
dramatic. There was no orchestral accom
paniment of flesh-creeping, nerve-drawing
music, as is customary in stage presenta
tions when the villain or his shadow ap
pears, but the "dean of the bar" was stricken
dumb with astonishment.
Hon. Thomas M. Marshall, who was lead
ing counsel for the jail-breaker, while eat
ing his lunch in his room at the Duquesne,
heard a gentle knock on his door, and al
most immediately a youth stepped into his
presence, saying, as he closed the door:
"ilr. Marshall, I wish to see you for a
moment." ,
"Don't bother me, sir; don't you see I am
eating mv lunch?"
"But fonly "
"I will see you at my office, where I
transact business. Not now, sir. Not
now.'
"But I'll leave this with you," and as he
spoke the young man laid a small package
oft the table nnd quickly took his depart
ure.
SINGULAR EFFECT OF HANDWRITING.
The old lawyer was quite grumpy at being
disturbed, and didn't glance up for a few
moments. When he did so his eyes rested
curiously on the package, which was a long
and very fat envelope, lying superscription
side down on the cloth within arm's length
of him. Picking it up he turned it over,
and one glance was enough.
, "Bring that young man back!" he ex
exclnimed. "Bring him back, waiter;
bring him back." The waiter shot out to
fulfil the order so peremptorily given, but1
upon returning said that he could not see
him, and that no one in the office had no
ticed him. Turning to a gentleman who
was his guest, Mr. Marshall said:
"This is a letter from Frederick C. Fitz
simmons. I know that handwriting well."
THE rUGITIVE'SJjATRST LETTER.
And opening the envelope, he read the
following:
September 29, 1S9I.

MR. MARSHALL SHOWS THE MISSIVE.
The above having been told a representa
tive of The Dispatch, a call was made on
Mr. Marshall yesterday afternoon. As he
walked down street, on his way to the car,
he said that the incident, as here related,
was substantially correct.
"Certainly," came the ready reply, and
producing the missive in question, he
handed it over to the reporter to be copied.
He then produced a number of notes re
ceived by him irom Fitzsimmons while the
latter was in jail, and a very brief com
parison of the handwriting of them with
that of the letter in question showed it to
be identical and written by the same person.
"And you are positive this is from Fitz
simmons?" was asked of Mr. Marshall.
"Of course lam."
"Where is he?"
"Ah! the detectives have a clue have'nt
they?" and with a grim smile the putter of
the Yankee answer turned down Smithfield
street, waving his hand.
AFBAID OF HABD CIDEB.
That Is Why a Prohibitionist Farmer De
stroyed Ills Big Apple Crop.
Chester, Coim.,Oct.L Special Preacher
Hall and his two sons aided Deacon Hunger
lord and his hired man to destroy the big
gest and finest crop of apples ever grown in
Deacon Hungcrford's orchard tho other day.
Preacher Hall, his sons and his deacon are
aidcnt Prohibitionists, and when the Lord
blessed the latter with more apples than he
could eat be was in sore straits. He did not
want to turn them into cider, for that was
the bane of the farmer's life, and especially
after it had grown "hard." He consulted
w ith his pastor and suggested giving tbo
fruit away, but Preacher Hall declaimed in
eloquent terms against that, lest someone
else might make cider of them.
It was finally decided to throw away the
whole crop, and so tbo four men. with the
help of the hired man.who silently protested
agatnt the work, stripped the orchard and
dumped every blessed apple into the village
mill-pond. The water was covered with
them, nnd when the miller opened the gate
to his water wheol the next dav the apples
filled the flume, rattled into the wheel pit
and were ground up, making tbe water
foimy with indignation at this waste of ex
cellent fiuit.
AN ANTI-SILVEB BESOhUTION.
The New York Chamber of Commerce Con
demns the Existing Law.
NewYobe, Oct. 1. Special. At to-day's
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce the
Committee on Finance and Currency failed
to submit its report as to measures, by which
a depreciation in the curiency, as created
under exlstintr laws, can be prevented, and
whether additional legislation is required to
carry such measures into effect. Chairman
Coo explained that the business situation
had changed for the better since April, and
that he and the irentlemen who introduced
tbe resolution at the time thought it advis
able to defer, action.
This did not suit President J. Edward
Simmons, of the Fouith National Bank. Ho
is a Democrat and at Saratoga was on tlio
committee on platform. Mr. Coe is a Re
publican. Mr. Simmons intioduced a reso
lution declaring that in tho opinion of the
Chamber of Commerce of the Stato of New
York so much of tho existing law which
compels the purcbaso by tho Government of
4,500,000 ounces of silver per month is against
the public welfare-and should bo repealed.
It was adopted with only one dissenting
vote, that of William P. St. John, the silver
enthusiast.

GEAVB FEARS OP FURTHER DISASTERS
rSPIClAI. TELEGBAM TO THE DISP ATCTL1
Houtzdale, Pa., Oct. 1. Excitement
here over the failure of the Clearfield Bank
was intensified to-day when the actual Btate
of affairs at the Houtzdale Bank was
learned. When President Dill, of the
Clearfield Bank, placed John B. McGrath,
a justice of the peace, as cashier of the
Houtzdale Bank that institution at once
enjoyed the confidence and respect of the
people, the books showing the first day's
deposits under the new management run
ning to nearly $10,000, the most of that sum
coming from poor miners. At that time
the deposits did not reach ?GO,000, but
through McGrath's well known integrity
and popularity, they grew until yesterday
they reached over $200,000.
The hundreds of Hungarians and Slavs,
learning their money was endangered, grew
franticand have ieen to-day threatening
theJlves'of tbejank-ofirctrsr CfifilerMo
Grath was' seen to-day, and stated that
thouzh the deposits la the bank reached
over 5200,000, there were less than ?60,000
currency in tbe bank when it closed now
much less he would not say. Mr. McGrath
also said that President Dill, who also
owned the Clearfield Bank, had removed a
great amount of money from the local bank
lately, giving as his reasons that the Houtz
dale vaults were not secure, and that it
would be safer in the Clearfield Bank.
the depositors wild.
When depositors were informed they
were likely to receive less than 50 per cent
of their money, the lower classes formed in
squads and shouted execrations and threats
against the otficers that would certainly
have been put in execution had they been
found. Their anger is boundless owing to
the fact that Dill bas catered to the miners
for years. Some years aeo lie savo a miners'
fiicnic, bringing over 2,003 with their fami
ies to a large park near Clearfield, where
they were entertained in a handsome man
ner. In fact the President has been looked
tipon as a philanthropist. A large delega
tion of Houtzdale citizens called on Presi
dent Dill at Clearfield to-night, and de
manded and pleaded with him that he make
some satisfactory statement. Thev pointed
out that the two towns were actually threat
ened with financial ruin and other disasters
in the future wero to be feared unless lie
made some sort of statement showing what
ho could and would do in paying the the
vast army of depositors in tho two banks.
To all these pleadings President Dill re
turned the oniy answer, that he was all
light, and the banks were all right, and if
the depositors stood by him they would be
all right.
Tins aiternoon ana lo-nignc nuairs uecame
alarming, the financial cloud becoming
darker each hour w ith every new develop
ment. Men and women clamored at the
doors in vain, the pressure before the bank
becomihg so great that a strong guard of
policemen was finally placed theie and
ordered to beat tho howling depositors back
with their clubs, as it was reared the bank
would be demolished and looted. There are
many pitiable tales or individual woe, but
wbero theie are so many unfortunates no
one here seems to nave any time to listen.
A RECEIVER APPOINTED.
A dispatch from Clearfield says: This
morning Cashier McGrath, worn out and
woebegone, appeared in conrtand filed a pe
tition asking for a receiver, and had a rule
issued on his partner, Dill, to show cause
why a receiver should not be appointed for
the Houtzdale bank. Judge mobs at once
granted the rule, and later on in the day
Dill mnde answer that the allegations mado
by McGrath were true, and naked the Court
to appoint a receiver of his own choosingT
Judge Krebg thereupon appointed George
W. Dickey and John Beyer receivers of the
Houtzdale bank. 3Iany or the Clearfield de
positors talk of instituting criminnl pro
ceedings. Bank Bxaminer Miller was telegraphed
for, and now has the bank in charge, with
expeits going over the books, and will mako
no statement whatever, but It Is now thought
Dill has been re-discounting the bank's pa
per, and that much of it lies in other banks,
which will suffer greatly unless the hopes or
the lriends or tho President are realized, and
the banks both pay up in mil. The most
serious charge made against Dill is that he
has been "loTiblng Peter to pay Paul" and
maintaining an uneven balance oetween his
two banks.
This crash takes all t lie leauy money out
or the region and leaves nothing but dis
trust and desolation. Some business men
lose as much as $1J,000 apiece and the miners
their all. The effecton uusiness will be bad,
and it will be a lone time bcfoie confidence
is restored. The officer fiom Houtzdale ar
ilved here at 7 o'clock this eenlng with the
warrant ror Dill, nnd cnteied the residence
nndnnested him. Friends were sent for and
upon their arrival Dill accompanied the or
flcer to Justice McCullough's office. The
warrant charges him with embezzling de
posits of $900. It was issued on the informa
tion of a lemalo depositor. District At
torney Wilson asked that he be held in tho
sum of $1000 bail, which was immediately
furnished by James Mitchell and W. It. Mc
Phcrson. NARROW ESCAPE FROM VIOLENCE.
Upon leaving the office a half dozen
drunken Hungarians from Houtzdale set
upon him, but were restrained from doing
anv harm by tho officers. Dill was hurried
to his residence by his attorney. The Houtz
dale officers say Dill will be arrested upon
ptuer warrants to-morrow. A crowd of
angry Huns aro now congregated in front of
0H Ijy
THE SEASON.
Dill's residence, but officers and special
guards arc keeping them quiet.
Many new developments are looked for
ta-morrow. Mlk Moritz, a Slav, who lost
$450, said: "I lost my money, I may lose my
life, but somebody else will lose theirs first.
No money for winter and I have a wife and
five children, which Is pretty- hard for a
poor man." '
The authorities havo stopped the selling
of air liquor to strangers and extra police

Dill is badly frightened, but the citizens
will see that no violence is done. Mine
Agent Dan Lemmon is here and is doing bis

New York, Oct. 1. Special. Mr. R.
L. Trumbull, of Chile, said to-day in re
gard to Mr. Fgan's trouble with the Junta,
that he believes all the reports were greatly
exaggerated. He added: "Egan was a
very decided partisan of Balmaceda. Bal

about the formation of a great inter

A dispatch from Chile says: The Balma
cedlsts who took refuge at the American
Legation still remain under tho protection
or the American flag. The Junta refuses to
gra-it them "sare conducts," and spies aro
continually watching the Legation in the
hope of being able to capture the refugees.
The orders which were issued last week to
arrest all persons entering or leaving the
Legation have been revoked on the protest
of Minister Egan. Several persons were ar
rested, including Mr. Egan's son.
The Chilean Government will shortly bo

BANKEBS KICK TOBY HABD
Acalnst a New Treasury Order That Delays
Consignments of Gold.
New YonK, Oct. L Special. Representa
tives of New York bankers made it stormy
weather in tho Custom House to-day. The
trouble was over the importations of gold
coin nnd bullion. Assistant Secretary Not
tleton wrote to Mosbacher & Co., who have
been gold Importers saying: "You are In
formed that the rules and regulations of the
department require tho production of con
sular invoices on importations of gold and
silver pieces (coins) and gold and silver in
bars.
Hitherto the examination of tbe coin and
bullion has been wnived, but to-day General
Nettleton's order made it necessary for such
firms as August Belmont & Co., Brown Bros.
& Co. and the Colonial Bank to produce the
consular invoice before they could get their
gold. All told $1,500,000 arrived lor theso
three concerns to-day. They were not aware
or General Nettleton's order, nnd or course
could not produce the consulnr invoices.
They were obliged to give bonds, and this
necessitated delays sufficient to keep them
ont of their gold until late in the aiternoon,
when they should havo had it in the morn
ing. It was a mighty oxpensive delay, for
money on tall is worth something these
days.
If the new order Is not changed the specie

will Involve another disastrous delay.

Bostox, Oct. 1. Special. The unwonted
spectacle of a full grown man taking a bath
in the Ftog Pond on the Common to-day
created a lively sensation, and scores of
women received shocks which sent them
scurrying aw ay with burning cheeks. The
cause of! tho rumpus was GlaionoLnrraro,

It Distinguishes Between Personal
Liberty of Belief and
--
The Accused Treacher Admonished for Ilia
Imprndence, and
CAUTIOSEI) TO GO AND SIN NO MOKE
Rev. J. H. Bausman's connection with
the Presbyterian Church wfll very likely
be severed in the near future. A special
meeting of the Allegheny Presbytery was
held yesterday to receive, and take action on
the report of the committee appointed to
investigate the alleged heretical views and
utterances of Rev Mr. Bausman. As al
ready fully detailed in The DisPAicn the
views of the reverend gentleman on tha
subjects of pretention, divinity of Christ,
inspiration of the Scriptures and the doc
trine of eternal punishment were said to
be radical and unorthodox in the extreme,
and on some points totally at variance with
the teachings of the Presbyterian Confes
sion of Faith. At the time these charges
were first made, Mr. Bausman tendered his
resignation as pastor of the church at
Rochester, this State, and went on a three x
months' trip to Europe. The action of his
congregation in refusing to accept the resig
nation is also familiar.
A VERY LIVELY SESSION HELD.
At the meeting yesterday about 40 mem
bers were present and a very lively session
was held. Dr. McClelland was Moderator,
and five hours were consumed in the con
sideration of the report, which, as first pre
sented, found Mr. Bausman guilty to a cer
tain degree, of the alleged utterances, but
recommended that judgment be suspended,
and that he be allowed to continue his
pastorate at Rochester, and admonishing
him so bo more prudent and to diligently
strive to reconcile his views to the teach
ings of the Confession of Faith.
A substitute was offered to this resolution,
however, that materially changes tho result
or the report. This substitute provides that
the congregation of the Bochester church
shall be cited to show cause why their pns
toral connection with Kev. Bailsman should,
not bo dissolved.
The committee consisted of Rev. Dr. Camp
bell of Leetsdale; Itev. S. B. McCormick,
Rev. Dr. D. S. Kennedy and two elders of
the Rochester Church. Below is an exace
copy of tbe report, as presented by Dr.
Campbell, Chairman, and adopted by the.
Presbytery
"In view of tho facts presented in tho re
port of the committee touching the diverg
ence between the pulpit and pastoral teach
ings of Ilev. J. 1L Bailsman and the doc
trines or the Confession or Faith or the
Presbyterian Church,
"EesoivedJXhatjrhila.wejiro disposed. In' -
order that truth be not hindered and liberty
not unduly abridged, to allow reasonabla
freedom of belief In those whoso soundness
of doctrine is by tho constitution of our
church mado a special charge onus, we at .
the same time hold that the mode of adop
tion of our conTcsslon requiring adherence
simply to its system of doctrine is sufficient
ly liberal to seenre the interests of truth
and righteousness, and that when the pre
scribed limit is exceeded erroneous opin
ions aro likelv to creep in, to tho great in
Jury of the purity and peace or the church,
DODBTS THAT ARE INCULCATED. "-$
"WHERE THE LINE IS DRAWN.
"Resolved, That wo are not unwilling to
allow some distinction between views which
one may hold tentatively and in private,
and his public teachings, on account of
doubts and difficulties which may arise to
trouble his mind. One may feel, and feel
deeply, as our brother expresses it, 'the bur
den of belief or tho doctrine or the eternal
pnnlshment or the wicked. This may ex
tend so far as to cause us to shrink
from preaching that terrible truth,
as a kind physician shrinks from using
tho knife on the diseased member of his pa
tient. We arball human, nnd some of the
doctrines of tho Divine Word are exceeding
ly profound, and we cannot comprehend '
them. And some of them are exceedinslv
distasteful to the natural man, and we find
it hard to receive them. At the same time,
it is quite cidcnttbat in what he has said
and taught regarding tho doctrine of end
less punishment, our brother has exceeded
both the limit prescribed by our constitu
tion defining the mode of subscription to
our confession, and tho limit of a reasonable
allowance ror temporary doubts and diffi
culties. His attitude amounts to a de
nial of a truth vital to our system of doc
trines, clearly taught in tho Word
of God, and believed by all evan
gelical branches of the Christian
Church. It Is quite true that in his pulpit
utterances he seemed to have carefully
avoided setting himself in opposition to this
truth, but he has, by his own confession in
private, at different times, expressed his
dissent from it. so as to causo the impres
sion to prevail among tho people ot hi3
charge that their pastor does not believe in
a doctrine taught in tho Scriptures; a truth
which he had enaaged to uphold when be
took his installation vows.
UNWISE IN HIS ACTS.
"In this we feel that he has acted most un
wisely, and has not exercised that care for
the purity and peace or the church, which
he was solemnly bound to do. We arc not
able to excu-o our brother on the ground,
that his teachings do not touch the
vitals of religion, for while it is
quite true thit gennino purity is not
instigated by rar, and 'perfect lovo casteth
out fear, yet when wo reflect that the doc
trine of endless pnnlshment is so clearly
tnuzht In tho Word or Owl, as to have united
nil evangelical churches in the belief ofit,
that God w ho is most merciful can not have
so revealed it, unless He who knows
our hearts bettor than wo know our
selves, had Judged it quite Important:
in its bearing upon .tlio salvation of the
worId,nnd that to deny it is to leave, sin with
out the just punishment God bas appointed to
It, thereby tending to create tbe impression,
that God thinks lightly of our transgres
sions: and when we consider that wherever , ,
true piety has flourished, this doctrine has
been an article of the Christian faith, we
cannot but feel that in our estimation of the
great importance of this terribto truth, we
nre confirmed by tho testimony of experi
ence, and we believe that we have the ap
proval of God.
