sOn can sit in judgment upon the cases of
the Auditor General and State Treasurer, as
court and jury Ijotlu It is his right alone
to try their cases. The Senate may only
perforin the functions of a grand jury, i. e.,
ascertain whether there it sufficient founua
tions in the charges to furnish cause for re
moval of the officials from office. It was to
act in tliis capacity alone that the Governor
called the Senate into extraordinary session
lor next week.
"The Senate is not asked to try the two
officials but simply to inquire into the facts
and learn if 'reasonable cause' exists for
their removal. If they o address the Gov
ernor, then he will, 'after due notice and
foil hearing of the parties concerned, de

Jo believe, that the Governor is the one who,
after Senatorial address, must examine the

wouldn't icmove either official unless there
was shown ample excuse.

"If he did he would stamp his whole
action as offensively partisan. In case the
Senate should fail to find that reasonable
rause exists they need not address the Gov
ernor, and, following out the analogy of
fraud jury practice, the Governor as court
ond jury, both would have no ground to lo
jmrtliin; further."
This utterance comes from a gentleman
who is very close to Governor PaUson. He
"made the point clear for me, because, he
! said, judging bv newspaper comments
throughout the State, there was a confused
idea of the mode of procedure at the
coming meeting ot the Senate. The
impression, he was afraid, was that the
Senate would try the case just as it would
be tried in court, the Senators sitting as a
petit jury to convict or exonerate the de
fendants by their vote.

T1h administration lias literally "read be

position well. Charles 15. Buekaleu's com
mentary on the Constitution was locked up.
On page 18i of that able work, Mr. Bucka

follow:
It appear to have been understood in'
convention (tbe conventiqn w Inch made the
Constitution) tha the "due notice ana full
bearing;" to be iriven to an elected officer be
fore his removal from office was to be by
and before the Governor, and not by and be
fore the Senate. Hut if this be the true
construction, it follows that the words
"chaU be remoi cd" are not to be taken in an
nbsolute or unqualified seuse. For a full
bearing of an officer implies that a decision

Article IV, section 8, of the Constitution
relates to the privileges of the Governor in
appointing officials, and the confirming
jiowersof the Senate. P.uckalew in mak
ing the observation that this section confers
no part of appointing power on the Senate,
also says that it constitutes no ground for
implication in favor of Senatorial participa
tion in making removals from office. Tliis
comment continues on pages 110-1 ot Bueka
lew's work, as follows:
That the Senate has no right nor power to

to-day received the following dispatch from
John B. Uichardson, United States Consul

Lajero wished me to communicate these
facts to the United States authorities with
tbo request that they endeavor to appre

General Stanley has issued orders to the
United States troops patroling the border
to keep sharp lookout for the invaders and
prevent them, if possible, front re-entering
Mexico. General Lajero is the commander
of the lower liio Grande Mexican military

St. Louis, Oct. 2. Sjmial One of the
most daring cases of jail-breaking that has
ecr startled the guards of a Western prison
took place this evening at the St. Louis
jail, one of the strongest prisons in the
country. The city and surrounding coun
try is being scoured by detectives and a
hundred policemen aie on the alert for the
fugitives, including Special Officers Free

MELBOURNE MAKING SNOW.
Overwhelming Evidence of Artificial Effects
on the Elements.
GooDbAxn, Kan., Oct. 2. A light rain
fell shortly before midnight last night and
then the clouds parted, but gathered again.
The atmospheric phenomena witnessed here
within the past four days have been suffi
cient to convince nine-tenths of the popula
tion that some wonderful influence has been
at work on the elements. The mistv rain
yesterday, followed by the parting clouds,
the gathering again and the light rain last
night while the wind was blowing steadily
and strong, was a condition of weather
never witnessed in this country before.
At 4 o'clock this morning the heavy wind
died away and the thermometer began to
tall rapidly. It now looks more like snow
than rain, and no one is willing to venture
a prediction of the result Those who have
made wagers claim their money on last
night's rain. Melbourne's contract calls for

of Mr. Gould's sickness at the Missouri

TIX PLATE STILT, A SPECIAL TARGET
rmoM A STArr cor.ncsrON-DENT.i
Bellaire, O., Oct. 2. Governor Camp
bell visited Belmont county to-day. It is
eighth in the State in point of wealth and
population. Mrs Campbell was scheduled
to appear at the St. Clairsvillc Fair in the
afternoon. It is the county scat and lack7
ing in railroad facility. This necessitated
a drive over the old Wheeling and Cumber
land pike for ten miles through the heat
and dust. A carriage and four horses were
provided at Bridgeport, and with two flags
waving from the vehicle the Governor
started out gaily for the distant place of
speaking.
Belmont is one of the picturesque counties
of the State. It lies along the river, and is
as full of hills as a putnpkiu is of seeds.
Mr. Campbell traveled over the ground
that James G. Blaine trod during the mem
orable campaign of 1S84, when he made the
swing around the circle. Mr. Biainc made
30 speeches in as many miles along the
Cleveland and Loraine Railroad. The peo
ple through here wondered why the dis
tinguished statesman wasted his breath and
time in this liepubliean section. Belmont
has a Republican majority ranging from .WO
to 800 rotes. The land is so broken that it
is said the animals have the legs on one
side longer than on the other, so that they
can stick to the hills in grazing.
DECLINE Or TIIE ALLIANCE.
Last year, according to County Organizer
H. Denham, the Alliance had GOO members
and 27 divisions in Belmont. Now it is
claimed that they haven't a member or a
sub-Alliance. This is one of the few coun
ties in the.State where the farmers' organi
zation has died out. The aegressive People's
party has nominated no ticket, and the
struggle here is confined to McKinley and
Campbell, with the Prohibition candidate
taning a crack once in a while at both.
The Governor is loaded down with dates
taken from the county records showing how
much farm latids in the last 10 years have
depreciated. He ladle this matter out
freely wherever he goes. He remarked to
day that it was a bitter dose, but the people
of "Belmom, had to takt the pill prepared
for them. The Governoi" savs that farm
values have shrunk all over the State, with
the exception of a few counties in the Xorth
w est, w hich wera settled up and developed
during the decade just past.
SEVERAL AVAItSI GUEETIXGS.
The Governor left Steubenville this morn
ing. At Martin's Ferry a small company
of Democrats surrounded the train to see
ofE Mr. Campbell went out on the rear
platform and shook hands for a few min
utes. At St. Clairsville a number of
marchers with red, white and blue um
brellas and a band received him. Tlio town
is a Republican stronghold, but the ladies
of the place appeared to be Democrat.
Outside of the men in line, they were the
mot enthusiastic, and more than one told
the Governor if thev could they would vote
for him,
"Oh, well," he replied, "maybe yotrcan
change your husband's opiuion." Dr.
Hoge, President of the Fair Association, is
also a Republican. So are a majority of
the directors. Molvinley had been' invited,
but he couldn't come. It is a great trick
with rival fair managers this fall to ask the
candidates to make speeches and assist in
drawing crowds. McKinley and Campbell
have been billed to appear at many a pump
kin show which they could not attend, and
so the people were disappointed.
Dr. Hoge told the Governo' to go ahpad
and make any kind of a speech lie pleased.
Though a Republican, the doctor knows the
value of a good drawing card. Campbell
didn't object either, for he had a chance to
speak to about 5,000 people. Thus every
body was happy.
MANY KEI'UELICAXS THERE,
In the large crowd that listened to the
Governor there were many Republicans.
The audience was attentive and interested.
St. Clairsville was one of the few towns in
which the band did not play the "Camp
bells Are Coming." At Wellington the
boys didn't have the music, and in this
place, it is said, the Republicans persuaded
them not to do it.
The Governor's voice was very hoarse
aftej- the Mingo meeting, and it hadn't im
proved this afternoon. AVhen he had
talked awhile it cleared up. In his speech
he siid:
I am entered in a race for place, and it de
pends upon Belmont and the other 87 coun
ties in the State to say what it shall be. The
fair board has given mo the privilege of
making the kind of speech I pleased. I
think it will be slightly Democratic.
Cheers. Someone says: ""Give them a
little Cincinnati." I don't know whether I
want too much of it in Cincinnati or not.
Laughter. I don't like to brag, but I have
planted myself on solid ground and I am
standing there.
A SLAP AT REEMELTX.
I will say that I am ready as all times to
remove a man I have appointed when ho is
incompetent and dishonest. Applause,
The issue in this fight is an economical one.
A woman "Keep on and you will get the
best of it." Yes, I think if the women
voted I would pet the best of it.
Down at my home we raise hogs and corn.
We make starch and meal out of the lattor.
Hero you raise protected sheep. The price
of tiie fleece is a little short this year.
Smil-s You were piomised 40 cents per
pound under the tariff. What you want to
do now is to find tho sucker who will pay it.
Laughter.
At this point the band commenced to
play. The fair people said it was for the
races. "Wellsaid the Governor, "I am
in a race myself and I will talk against
them." The musicians were promptly sup
pressed. On the sugar question he safd:
A TALK OX SUGAR.
Why is it that sorghum fanners of Kansas
and the maple sugar men of Xew England
should be paid a bounty and yon getnothing
on your wheat and com? Does anybody
ever try to defend the payment of n bounty
on piodncts raised by farmers? You aie
getting more sugar for a dollar, but yon aio
getting less or everything else. Howls of
delight. I don't see anybody wear
ing McKinley tin badges these
days. A voice: '-They don't wear
them nnyinore.)
At Piqua they paid $100 to stamp a lio on
tne tin. J.1US is mi luev jiau lnvest-eii.
Xeidringhaus, of St. Louis, had a Welshman
and a boy engaged, as ho claimed, but the
newspaper hunted him down. I don't
want the Republicans hero to die of lead
poisoning by using American tin. I wnnt
you to live, repent and vote the Democratic
ticket. As you are raising sheep and using
tin I will read you a poem about McKinley
and the wool business.
Here the Governor made the crowd laugh
with the merry poetical jingle. Then Mr.
Campbell read statistics to show what the
farmers of Belmont county had lost in ten
years. In 1880 the farm lands were assessed
at $11,224,000. In 1890 the assessors could
only find ?8,190,000 of the property. There
was a loss of 3,034,000. The real loss is
twice this amount.
When Governor Campbell reached Bel
laire a delegation met him at the depot and
escorted htm to the Globe House. The
band played the old Scottish air which led
him to victory in 1889. The town was deco
rated with the Stars and Stripes, and Chi
nese lanterns lighted the traveler over the
dark places. Crowds came in from Wheel
ing, Benwood, Martins Ferry, Bridgeport
and other towns. A large streamer across
street bore welcome words to the Democ
racy of West Alrginia. The meeting was
held in the public square where a platform
was erected.
RED TIRE AXD ENTHUSIASM.
The wildest kind of enthusiasm prevailed
in town, red fire was burned and sky'roekets
shot up in the darkness. Before the meet
ing the Governor was forced to hold a re
ception at the hotel. The city was full of
home and visiting Democrats. They
swarmed around Mr. Campbell, and he spent
some time bowing and shaking hands. The
crowd was variously estimated from 10,000
to 15,000. The Governor said it was the
largest meeting held in the State this fall.
It was not a scattered audience, but the peo
ple stood shoulder to shoulder. Thev were
jammed toscthcr like sardinea. Colonel
Arnett, of Wheeling, the Chairman, spoke
of the crowd as "acres of Democrats." In
a few words, lie introduced Mr. Campbell,
who was uproariously applauded. The
Governor said: ,
'"The tariff has been advanced 2j per
cent, and I want to know how much vour
wage have been put up?" A voice They
have been reduced in the glass house.
"Whv, mv friend, you must be a Demo
cratic tm plate liar." Laughter. "Down
in front," yelled the crowd.
"Thev can't fret down any lower." re
plied the Governor. "Vou can't reduce
them, as they do your wages. There are
pottery, steel" and iron workers here. The
tnrifr has been advanced, have your wages
been increased? Cries of 'No.'
RAISING A TARH'P RACKET.
If the tariff puts wages in your pocket,
then I won't complain about it, if it does
not, then I will be one of tho first to raise a
racket that will wipe out the Republican
party. I understand Mr. Goff said that if
Major McKinley were in West Virginia they
would elect him Governor by acclamation.
Well, that was more than they did for the
General. Yells. Mr. Goff speaks of the
ling and ships laden going abroad. At tho
close of the war we had a masnificent uavy. '
The Republican spent $34 000,000 on it, and
no w a mackerel scow could sink any of or
vessel.
Our flag lias become lonely on tho I1I2I1
seas. This is the result of Republican rule.
Take off the tariff, allow commerce to move
unvexed on the ocean and we will soon see
the flag flying in distant waters. Your laws
have destro3'ed commerce. The flag is left
to 3'our country. You never see it any
where cle. The other day Chile frantically
locked Minister Eean in his house and the
Cabinet sat terrified at Washington.
On the subject of glass, Mr. Campbell
read clippings from newspapers, in which
it was charged that Belgians are being
brought into this country and taking the
places of home workmen. He said the tariff
protected the glass, but there is no protec
tion for the employes. In the days of low
duties tramps were unknown.
"I will waser that, after the election, the
window glass trust will put up prices and
reduce wages. And now Andrew Carnegie,
who has grown poor, proposes to recoup his
losses by cutting wages. When he hears
the result from Ohio, in November, he will
be the sickest man in the country." A
voice How about McKinley?
M'KIXLEY AND CARNEGIE.
"Xo, I will do the man justice to say that
he has not half the interest at stake in this
fight that Carnegie has. McKinley wont put
up a dollar where the Iron King will spend
thousands in this campaign. If ever there
was a fake that will laugh the Republicans
out of the State, it is the tin-plate racket."
Laughter.
Here the Governor ran over a list of SO
iron ami steel plants that had banished
labor unions. A number are in Pittsburg.
The labor cost in making a ton of steel rails
in Knzlnnd is Sll 32; in the United States
it is Sll CD, a difference of 27 cents. Gov
ernor Campbell said that a tariff of 13 was
put on to equalize wages. He read a k er
from a man in Trcntou reaffirming the state
ment that the wages of potters there had
been cut 15 per cent since the tariff went
into effect. The plants also have been idle
half the time. The workmen struck and
they compromised for a cut of 8 per cent.
Major McKinley claimed wages were not
reduced. Mr. Campbell replied that the
sizes were increased, and the men could not
make as many in a day as they did before.
He understood that labor was more cowed
in EastLiverpool than anywhere ele in the
State. He said further that men work at
the scale, but give their employers a dis
count as high as 53 per cent unknown to
their fellow workmen.
'"The aggregation of labor and voting the
Republican ticket go hand in hand in
Ohio," he added. "I would like to see you
vote the Democratic ticket and get a job in
East Liverpool. I am opposed to the way
they bulldoze their employes." Prolonged
applause. Israel.

Surprises tbe Republicans Chairman
Watres Thinks It Will Xot Go Far.
Philadelphia, Oct. 2. ffpeeidl.' "Ex
Senator O. C. Allen, who represented the
Warren-Venango district in the session of
1889, was a city visitor to-day. Talking
over the political situation Mr. Allen said:
"The Farmers' Alliance is taking no active
part in politics this year as a third party,
as tbe Kansas creed has no show in this
year of big harvests. They are, however,
as individuals, sowing some choice Demo
cratic seed. Up in my section the Alliance
has a good hold. I know that Erie county
is full of them, and Tilden Alliance lodges
have become a popular move among the
farmers. Farmer Tilden appears to know
where his share of campaign work is lo
cated." Republican Chairman Watres has heard
of the Tilden Allinuce club movement also.
Tidings have not been slow in reaching
headquarters from Erie and Crawford, and
thera is no little surprise over the new de
velopment. "I have known of the matter
some days," said Mr. Watres this evening,
"but I notice there are no Wright clubs
organizing among the farmers. They are
reaumg ms auu-urauger lax. Din speecn De
fore the Senate committee last winter by
this time, and the Tilden Alliance people
cannot go far." On the contrary, Dr. E. M.
Herbst, the Chairman of the Berks Country
Democratic Committee, believes "this is a
farmers' year, and they are running a cam
paign, tooj with just as much Tilden iu it as
there was in 1S76."
Captain John W. Morrison, who seeks to
be the next State Treasurer under Repub
lican auspices, wa3 an arrival at the Con
tinental this evening. "My campaign is
promising and in good form,"were his words
to Chairman Watres. "You can say that
the gentle intoxication ot hope fulfilled will
not strike the other side this year," was his
way 01 uisimssiiig a newspaper query.
Chairman Watres said to an inquiry
touching the extra Senate session: "There
is no question about Republican duty in the
premises; no question whatever. The same
party that visited swift judgment on Bards
ley'is by no means halting in search of a
course of action to-day. Xothing but heroic
treatment will satisfy the public demand,
and the investigation will be thorough."

on a special train, and was met by a dele
gation of citizens with bands, who escorted
him to the hotel.
All along the line of march the sidewalks
were lined with people who cheered our
Governor from every side. General Nathan
Goff of West Virginia was greeted in like
manner. Immediately after dinner about
0,000 people gathered in the park, where a
beautifully decorated rostrum had been
erected.
ji'kinley in a tin ruAiir.
A large picture of McKinley framed in
tin hung just above the speakers' head.
Many distinguished men were present. A.
J. Green was chosen chairman. In a short
speech, during which he read a telegram
fron the iron workers in Virginia, congrat
ulating McKinley on his chances and wish
ing him success, he introduced Major Mc
Kinley, who was received with tumultuous
applause.
The first part of his speech consisted of
an able discussion of the silver question,
during which he demonstrated most con
vincingly the folly of voting for the Demo
cratic doctrine of free silwer. McKinley's
speech to-day shows that some o'f the Demo
cratic friends are mistaken in saying that
the Major avoided the tariff question.
On the contrary, the greater part of his
speech was taken up with this subject, and
he most favorably and ably discussed it. He
also demonstrated, even though we will
give a bonus of S10,000,000 this year to our
manufacturers of sugar, yet we will save
45,000,000 to the consumer in that.
THE, INI ANT INDUSTRY.
He did not leave out tin plate, either,
declaring most emphatically that tin ore
was heing mined now both in Dakota and
California and that the plate was being
manufactured in Chicago, St. Louis and
Philadelphia. After Major McKinley
ceased speaking and the applause had sub
sided General Goff was introduced.
At first he was very hoarse and could not
be heard a great distance from the stand,
but as he continued he increased in strength
of voice as he did in force of argument. He
reviewed the country's history from 18fi0 to
the present, explaining clearly many points
relating to the tariff and silver questions,
and was many times loudly applauded.
TIN PLATE SHIPPED TO CAMPBELL.
A McKeesport Finn Demonstrates Ameri-.
can Tin Is Xo Myth.
McKeesport, Oct. 2. .S'jwr'a. A box
of tin plates manufactured at the United
States Iron and Tin Plate plant here was
shipped by express to Governor Campbell,
of Ohio, to-day, charged prepaid.
The plates are of the best quality the
company turns out, and will serve as a
gentle reminder to the Governor of the fact
that American tin plate is not a myth and
cannot be laughed down to serve a political
campaign.
FIFIEEN NEGROES WEEE KILLED.
The Rest of the Band of 19 Are in Jail and
May Yet He Lynched.
Helena, Ark., Oct. 2. The Lee county
troubles are probably at an end, unless the
mob attempts to hang the negroes in the
Mariana jail. Some fears arc entertained
that an attempt will be made to-night.
It appears that no less than 15 negroes
were killed out of the gang of 19 who com
menced the trouble. Of the remaining four,
three are in the jail at Mariana and one in
the jail at Forest City. To the millionaire
merchant, J. F. Frank, of Memphis, is laid
the charge of having incited trouble by say
ing in the presence of 100 negroes at his
store that he would have his cotton picked
if he had to pay 1 per 100 forthe work.
ABE BUZZARD'S CASE
A Strong Effort Being Made for njm Be
fore the Board of Pardons.
Harrisburg, Oct. 2. Special. The
Board of Pardon disposed ot the following
cases to-day: John McManus, Philadel
phia, under sentence of death for murder, a
short respite recommended to allow of fur
ther testimony being produced; Joseph
Pucker, Jr., Philadelphia, murder in the
first degree, held under advisement; Har
riet Barrow, Philadelphia, murder, whose
death sentence had already been commuted
to life imprisonment, was refused a pardon
recommendation; James Stewart, Fayette,
serving ten years for second degree murder,
continued.
A rehearing was granted Abraham Buz
zard, the outlaw of Welsh Mountain, now
serving 14 years for burglary and breaking
jail. Buzzard has had three hearings be
fore, and each time a, pardon was refused.
A strong effort is being made for him now,
it being alleged that he is a devout Chris
tian; that he was driven to commit some of
the crimes with which he was charged, but
that he was blamed for many in which he
had no hand.
NETTLETON'S GOLD ORDER.
Secretary Foster Takes a Hand and Re

New York, Oct. 2. Special Secre
tary Foster, by telegraph from Washington
this morning, rescinded Secretary Nettle
ton's order, requiring the baiking firms to
furnish consular invoices on all importa
tions of gold coin and bullion. Collector
Hendricks promptly notified the represen
tatives of the banking firmspf the change.
Importations will now be made under the
old system, that is the gold, when accom
panied by the usual bill of lading, will be
hurried through when imported by well
known firms.
Went Down With Xine on ltoarJ.
Chicago, Oct. 2. The loss of the
schooner Frank Perew, off White Fidi
Point, Lake Superior, with all on board, is
conceded in to-day's advice from owners to
Chicago underwriters. The Perew was
bound for Marquette with coal from Cleve
land. She corresponds with the descrip
tion of a schooner in trouble in Lake Supe
rior in the recent gale, and there is n0
doubt that she went to the bottom. ne
Perew carried nine men.

fSPECIAL TELEOHAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Clearfield, Oct. 2. A little before
midnight to-night President Dill passed
through the streets on his way to jail, es
corted by Constable Goodfellow ond Cap
tain Clark. iThe banker was accompanied
by Mrs. Dill, who will remain with him in
the jail over night. There is a great crowd
on the streets, but but the fallen banker
seemed quiet and dignified, and the crowd
was very respectful and unobtrusive.
The public generally believed the Clear
field Bank would turn out in bad shape, but
none. Iook.ed-forTeriraina,l ehargrs. 'A heavy
assessment is looked for on 'th'e stockhold
ers of this bank, but here a great difficulty
will arise. Over 58,000 shares of the bank
stock is held by Dill and his wife's parents,
Jonathan Boynton and Mrs. Jonathan
Boynton. They nre very rich, but have
little real estate, and if the assessment is
made scarcely anything will be realized on
their stock.
ON THE HANK EXAMINER'S INFORMATION.
The following is the information sworn
out by Bank Examiner Miller, who has
charge of the Clearfield Bank, before Jus
tice McCullough:
That one William II. Dill, President of the
First Xntlonnl Bank of Clearfield, Pa., did,
on the 14th day of July, 1891, with Intent to
injure, cheat nnd defraud said FirstXational
nanic.maKe a laise entry on tne casn uook
of said bank, viz: an entry of $10,000, and
other false entries, to the injury of said
bank, etc. William Milllk, Jr..
Bank Examiner.
Sworn and subscribed to before mo this
2d day of October, 1S91.
L. K. McCuLiorGH, J. P.
When the news spread that Dill was to
be arrested the trouble with the depositors
broke out anew, and excitement to-night is
almost a great as when the banks first
failed. It was generally thought that no
arrests would be made, at least until later
on, and Bank'Examiner Miller, in charge of
the Clearfield Bank, and Receivers Bycrs
and Dickey, of Houtzdale, were allowed to
go quietly on with their work investigating
the books of the bank, when they stumbled
on accounts and entries which caused the
arrest.
The above warrant was issued at once to
Constable Goodfellow. who proceeded to
Dill's handsome residence, where he took
the banker in charge. Dill asked to be al
lowed to remain in his own house until he
secured bail, his request being granted, the
officer remaining closely with his prisoner,
and messengers were sent in all directions
looking for friends who would be able to go
on a large bail. Meanwhile District Attor
ney AVilson, representing Bank Examiner
Miller, and Attorney Oscar Mitchell and J.
F. Snyder, representing Dill, met in the
Court" House and tried to come to some
agreement as to the amount of bail to be
furnished.
DEMAND FOR BIG BAIL.
After considerable argument Examiner
Miller agreed to make tbe bail 20,000, con
ditional for Dill's appearance at the next
Quarter Sessions, and another skurry was
made for the amount to rid Dill of the offi
cers' unwelcome presence. A. E.-Patton,
Cashier of the Curwensville Bank, and a
son-in-law of the preacher banker Dill,
then came down and signed the bail bond,
and four other gotod names had been se
cured, when consternation was created by
Examiner Miller and the District Attorney
reappearing upon the scene, Miller stating
that other discrepancies had been discov
ered amounting to 30,000, and that addi
tional bail must be demanded.
Then he began a fresh hunt for bail, but
at 5 o'clock this evening another and final
bomb was sprung from Houtzdale. At that
hour a constable arrived with a warrant
sworn out in Houtzdale, charging Dill with
the embezzlement of 85,000. This created
a panic among the bondsmen, and it was im
possible to secure another dollar of bail for
Dill, who remained in his home closely
guarded by officers until taken to jaii at
midnight. United States District Attorney
xiyuu anu united States jiarsnai .narraii,
of Pittsburg, have been telegraphed for and
will arrive here to-morrow morning.
Justice McCulloueh and District Attor
ney Wilson left Dill's residence at 10
o'clock to-night, after two hours' stay, and
it is thought they advised the removal of
the banker to jail for safe keeping. This
has.been advised for more than one reason,
as the Houtzdale depositors, especially the
ignorant Hungarians, amounting to several
hundred, have threatened his life.
HOUTZDALE GIVES UP HOrE.
A dispatch from Houtzdale says: The
thousands of depositors of the bank here
have given up all hope of recovering their
money, owing to the unexpected develop
ments made by Bank Examiner Miller, and
the depositors' committee appointed to look
into the bank f, and hire attorneys to

The news that Dill had bftK A
spread like wildfire, and the deposit" -'w
believe that the proceedings entered agsihst
him from this city were made on informa
tion furnished by Cashier MeGrath relative
to the vast sums of money Dill removed to
the Clearfield bank on the excuse that the
Houtzdale vaults were not safe. There is
general sympathy expressed for MeGrath,
even by the heavy losers in his bank, and
he is urged to push proceedings airainst
Dill.
MeGrath was seen to-night and repeated
his former statement that he knew nothing
of the affairs of the Clearfield Bank until
after it was closed. Several proceedings to
recover deposits have been entered against
both Dill and MeGrath, those against the
latter being instituted by depositors who
entered the bank and deposited money on
the morning of the failure, the allegations
being that it was known the bank was in a
bankrupt condition at the time.
An instance of the popular feeling against
the bank officials was showrn here this after
noon by the hanging of President Dill in
effigy by an angry mob.

BALTIMORE'S SUNDAY LAW.

Baltimore, Oct. 2. Special. Com
plaint having been made that the Sunday
law was not properly enforced, the grand
jury to-day called the attention of the Po
lice Commissioners to the fact. Thereupon
the Marshal gave notice that the sale of
cigars, candy, soda or mineral water, in fact
everything except milk or ice, would not
be permitted hereafter. Bodily labor is in
terdicted, and'even druggists a-e not allowed
to do business except the filling of bona
fide prescriptions.
The statute is very strict and reads like a
Connecticut blue law. Until now it has
been liberally construed, but hereafter it
will be enforced to the letter. This will
make it obnoxious and the next Legislature
may be induced to make changes.

A Report That He AVas on the Street and

THOUGHT TO BE C9XCEALED IX AMINE
A tragedy of hearts, it now transpires,
was the prelude to the act produced at the
county jail on the morning when Fitzsim
mons made a break for liberty. Every rasp
of the steel aw in the iron bars of the cell
of the man who was making his way toward
the outside world was a tear in the heart of
the jail-breaker. Love of freedom and.
love for a woman fought for mas
tery in Fitzsimmon's heart during;
the momentous interval that elapsed
between the conditions of prisoner
and fugitive in the life of this notorious
criminal. Love for a woman may yet prove
the Xemisi that will overtake this hunted
man and accomplish the loss of his prescnb
liberty.
This was the burden of a conversation
held yesterday with Attorney Thomas M.
Marshall, who was, from his knowledge of
hi now celebrated client, analyzing the
phsycological condition in which Fitzsim
mons found himself on the morning of his
escape, as well as at the present time.
"Fitzsimmons must certainly have bcea
in a perplexing situation so drawn by love
of liberty and love for his wife," returned
the reporter, at a pane in the conversation.
NOT LOVE TOR HIS OWX WIFE.
"Love for his wife! who said it was lovo
for his wife?" ejaculated the old lawyer.
"Why, he did not say that his great lovo
for a woman '."'
"Yes, love for a woman," came the quick
retort. "Love for a woman, Fitzsimmonsj
is desperately, passionately, unreasonably;
ye, violently in love. I would not be at
all surprised if that self-same love would
not eventually lead to his rearrest."
"Is he, then, really grateful to his wife,
and docs he so love her for her loyalty and
devotion?"
"I did notsayhewasinlove with his wife,
did I? Grateful nothing: AVhat put that
in your head'.' I said he was in love not
with his wife. No, indeed. It's another
man's wife lie's in love with. He's crazv,
mad over Mr. Clark, who has been impli
cated with him, and who is now in the jail,
where she was the morning he escaped."
"Does Mrs. FitzMinmons know of her
husband's infatuation for Mrs. Clark?"
BREAKING A WIFE'S HEART.
'She does. It is brwkiug;Jier heart. Yon
saw the careworn, hopeless look her face
wore atlEh'e trial. It wan't her trial that
gave her that look. What has she to live
for ? She i a woman and has a heart. Life
to her means prolongation of regret and suf
fering. A hopeless love for a man who
ought to care, but who cares nothing for her
is what has broker tiiat woman's heait. She
commit murder".' Nothing of the sort. She
is innocent of that and is not afraid of the
future on that score."
"You spoke of this man's love for Mrs.
Clark?"
"Yes; hi love lor that woman and his;
mania for letter writing to her and other
will give him again into the custody of
the law, I fear. Why. in all my life, I
have never seen such frantic love letters as
those that have passed between Frederick
Fitzsiramons and that woman. He is crazy
over her. Why, at one time he was biisj
with plans for her escape, and he is just
foolhardy enough to try to rescue her yet
some time. Mark my word, this unholy
love will be the detective to reclaim this
man to custody."
CORROBORATION OF TIIE STORY.
The story of Fred Fitzsimmons' lov.e for
Mrs. Charles Clark from the lips of hi at
torney is sufficient proof of its reality. But
it also comes from other persons eqnally
competent to give unquestionable informa
tion on the subject. Police Superintendent
Weir said last night he had no doubt that
the escaped murderer was infatuated with
Mrs. Clark. He feels confident tli.it
the man will dare anything to reach her.
Other members of the Police Burean say
they have long been aware of this attach
ment. The state of affairs was also brought
out during the investigation of the Quar
terly Committee of the'Prison Board.
But all the stories about Fitzsimmons and
his various loves and desires have failed so
far to assist materially in the efforts
toward his capture, llumor after rumor
and clewafter clew come in rapid succession,
only to be run down and found groundless.
Yesterday wa exceptionally prolific in re
ports. The trail of the murderer was dis
covered in three different places. About
noon yesterday a small man entered
a Liberty street furnishing store and
bought some trifling articles. He then
asked to be allowed the use of a
mirror hanging near for a few moments,
which was granted. The man then unwrap
ped a set of false whiskers and quickly
adjusted them on his face.
ON THE STREETS WITH TALSE BEARD.
AVithout a word more he turned and
walked out. His actions attracted the at
tention of a clerk who looked at him and
was struck with his great resemblance to
the picture and description of Fitzsim
mons. Word was at once sent to
the police and Detective Coulson hnrried to
the place. By the time he arrived the man
with the false whiskers -had disappeared
down the street. The paper he had re
' moved from the beard was found on the
floor. It bore the name of Mrs. A. Smith,
dealer in hair goods, on Penn avenue. On
going there the Detective found the lady in
charge greatly agitated. She, too, had noted
the resemblance)!' Fitzsiramons in the man
who purchased the beard from her. The
police could not locate the man, and have
grave doubts about his having been the ona
they went.
Another report was to the effect that Fitz
simmons was hiding iu an abandoned coal
mine disguised in female attire.Themiueia
located near the AVashiugton pike within a
few miles of the AVest End- It was re
ported first to Alderman Maden, of the
West End. The individual has been seen
walking along the AVashington pike at in
tervals during the past week and has been
followed to the old mine. One man says he
is confident it is Fitzsimmons, having rec
ognized his features, in spite o! the clean
shave and wig. His hands and feet proved
the best marks of identification.
