"Within the nest ten days Governor Pattison will issue extradition papers to compel the return of ex-Cashier of the State Treasury, "William Eivsey, to Harrisburg, and the form in which the demand will be made upon the Canadian Government officials at Ottawa is now under consideration. Governor Pattison has not yet fully decided upon the form of charges upon which the right of extradition will be exer cised, but ho is fully persuaded that he can act in the premises and bring before the Senate the one material witness, whose testi mony about the operations of the -State Treasurer's office it is highly important the Senators should hear. The Governor pro poses to accommodate them, and Attorney General Henscl is expected to take proper action during the week. The location of ex-Cashier Livsey is known, but the posses sors of this valuable secret decline to make it public More Important Letter. It was hinted to-day that there are letters in District Attorney Graham's possession, tending to place State Treasurer Boyer in a very questionable position, and Governor Pattnon will request Mr. Graham to sur render them for the use of the Senate. Much curiosity has been manifested In cer tain city quarters during the past few day why these letters and the series of incrimi nating correspondence were withheld when Auditor General McCamant and State Treasurer Boyer's statements were given to the public It will be easily recalled that these letters were nowhere to be found in the several columns of letters published in the newspapers lately at the instance of Mr. Graham. The Governor proposes to have the concealed letters and memoranda if the District Attorney can find them before Octo ber 13. X5ardsley Agent to Testily. Another important witness the Governor proposes to furnish the Senate is If. H. Yard, the Trenton, N. J., gentleman who was deeply concerned with the late John Lucas in the Spring Lake and Sea Girt im provements, and who acted as Bardslcy's agent in various financial schemes. Mr. Yard said on the day iie was arrested for complicity in working the Keystone Bank: "If my prosecution is pressed I will bring a number of prominent Pennsyh anians to their knees." Governor Pattison will see that Mr. Yard appears at the bar of the Senate unless he remains outside of the State, and that he will have a chance to carry out his threat. A -ery prominent Democrat said to day: "A lery pertinent query is this: "What prominent Pennsyhania officials profited by the use of the State's money through If. II. Yard and touching whom he alone has the information? Mr. Yard has been somewhat lost to sight. He will have a new introduction when the Senate meets in extra session October 13, if there is power enough in the State to bring him to Harris burg." UnT. Cameron and Magee lVltncssen. All living ex-City Treasurers of Phila delphia will be summoned to go on the Senate witness stand. Ex-Treasurer Joseph J. Martin, P. A. B. "Widener, Irvin and Frank F. Bell are the ex-officials in ques tion. Senators Cameron and Quav and C. L. Magee, the Pittsburg leader, are on the list of witnesses. There will be developments growing ont of the extra session of an exciting character. A complete exposure of the system cover ing the fiscal affairs of the State will be made, and officials past anJ present must share in the exposures bound to come "While the Legislative Investigating Com mittee has limited the scope of the inquiry and from a partisan view refused to extend the inquiry wherever possible, the Senate cannot entertain such a course simply be cause it will not dare engage in any abbre viated process of investigation. If that body should do otherwise the Democratic members of the Senate, backed by a Demo cratic Governor, will make their appeal to public opinion and public sentiment to compel a Republican Senate to make a thorough inquiry. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS BOW. Charges Made Against the Ohio Grand Keeper ol Records and Seals. Cleveland. Oct 3. Special Charges were preferred at a recent meeting of the State Grand Finance Committee against S. A. Court, ol Toledo, Grand Keeper of Rec ords and Seals of the Knights of Pythias, by J. B. Culp. Their full purport is not known, but it is admitted by Edmund Kitchens, Clei eland member of the com mittee, that they are of a serious nature. One is that he overcharged for traveling ex penses, stamps and the like; another, that he was discourteous to other officers. The charges were laid over for future Investi gation. Court is a candidate for re-election and WPiB!rtf9Bf$JJ- v "gJJirV is poshing the campaign vigorously. Culp is the opposition candidate. Both live in Toledo, where Culp was formerly employed as Court's assistant. He claimed to have learned the facts set up while so employed. The Finance Committee reported Court's books square upon their face, and the Grand Keeper has sent copies of the report over the State. Culp does not state the amount of the overcharges and does not seem to know what the figure is. Court has held the office of Grand Keeper for two termi. DEATH IN A MINE.

Mahoxey City, Pa., Oct. 3. Special. By a terrific explosion in the Richardson Colliery, owned and operated by the Phila delphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com pany, to-day, probably a dozen lives were lost. Winfield Mack and another man were taken out dead, and J. F. Brennan, Thomas Conville, Michael Grant and three others perhaps fatally injured. The following are closed in: John Salmon, Michael "Welsh, John Purcell, John La wlor, Joseph Shields, Thomas Clamey, and others whose names are not known. Shortly before quitting time this evening gas accumulated in one of the gangways, and without a moment's warning a loud re port was heard, followed by the falling of an immense quantity of coal, which en tombed 14 men and cut off all means of escape As soon as the explosion occurred the men in all parts of the mine hastened to the spot, but were powerless to render any assistance. They were thunderstruck when they realized Ihe perilous position that their companions were placed in and at once sent word to the surface, and the com pany's officials were notified of the disaster. A rescuing party at once set to work and not until late this evening did they find any of the men. After digging through coal and rock for a distance of CO yards eight of the men were reached, two of whom had been orushed to death by the falling debris. The other six were fctally burned. There are Btul six men imprisoned and they cannot be reached until to-morrow, when life will doubtless be extinct. BEN BUTLEB'S BOOK. The General Is Charred With Breaking Faith With His Publishers.

The subject was under discussion to-day, and it was developed, as learned from a private source, that Mr. Jones, the Presi dent of the'Ohio association, is thoroughly opposed to the movement at the present time, or on October IS, as has been sug gested.

Baum had the following to say regarding his reported resignation: "It is not true that I tendered my resignation to the Presi dent at hat conference. I did say, how ever, that I did not wish in any way" to em barrass his administration, and that if my conduct of the Pension Department has not been satisfactory to him, or if he credited the vague charges brought against the de partment, I was willing that mv manage ment should cease. I felt justified, how ever, in saying that I felt that I had con- 'fFJgey ducted the office as well as was in the power of any man, and that it was in better condi tion by far than ever before The Presi dent assured me most cordially that the office under ray administration had been en tirely satisfactory, and the subject of any change was not further touched upon." DILL ARRESTED AGAIN. ENTIRELY NEW ACTION AGAINST TIIE BANKER. United States District Attorney Lyon Says the nrst Ones Were Wrong Publlo Sentiment Changing In the President's Fajroi-ln the Jail Parlor. Clearfield, Oct, p. Special.' This city enjoyed another genuine sensation to day regarding the arrest of President Dill, of the Clearfield and Houtzdale Banks, when United States District Attorney Lyon arrived from Pittsburg and calmly stated that all proceedings against Dill were illegal, and if the depositors expect to hold him they must begin proceedings anew, ihe hrst exclamation made by Wal ter Lyon, when told of the situation, was: "Why, Miller must have lost his head," referring to the action of Bank Examiner Miller in having Dill arrested. It was then remembered by the more sober citizens that during the excitement of yesterday manv lawyers claimed that Bank Examiner Miiler and District Attorney "Wilson were wrong and acting hastily. "Upon, learning the exact state of affairs, Mr. Miller, acting upon Mr. Lvon's advice, at once made out another information before Commissioner Ambrose. A warrant was issued to T. E. Clark, who went at once to the jail and placed Mr. Dill under arrest. The Commissioner was with him and he was bound qver in $20,000 hail to appear before him at Clearfield on Friday, October 9, at 11 o'clock. There were plenty of people readv to go his bail to-dav, but his lawyers and friends advised in favor of his remain ing in jail until the day of the hearing. Public sentiment has changed greatlv since yesterday, many belieung that the prosecution has developed into a persecu tion, and that Dill's side of the story should be heard before final judgment is "brought by his former friends and neighbors. The false entry has been explained to seveial bankers, and thev say there is nothing crim inal in it, as it is done every day in the banks, and that if that is all there is in the charges he will be released at the hearing. Mr. Dill is confined in the parlor of the jail in the custodv of Captain Clark, and is en joying all the comforts and conveniences possible His estimable wife and family are with him nearlyall the time. AH other proceedings against Dill have been stopped, and everyono will await the result of the hearing. TO WATEB F0BTY COUNTIES. Big Contract Bain 'Wizard Melbourne Is Talking; Abo at Just Now.

DEFIED THE LAW. What the Sailors of tho Schooner Edward E. Webster Have to Say. San Francisco, Oct. a The sealing schooner Edward E. "Webster, Captain Mc Lean, arrived in port to-day after an ab sence of seven months. According to the story told by some of the sailors, the "Web ster was joined off Copper Island on July 24 by the schooner Hamilton Lewis, com manded by a brother of Captain McLean, and a joint raid was made on the Eookeries. The sailors killed a large number of seals, when theAItussian authorities opened fire on them, firing volley after volley. The Cap tain of the Webster, nevertheless, ordered the crew out again on the following day; and when they refused to go some of them were put in irons and fed on bread and water lor a number of days. The sailors allege that thev received harsh treatment during tho whole homeward trip. The mate of the vessel says the schooner was not warned against entering Bering Sea, but the men state that the schooner Lily L. was spoken June 20, and that she announced she had been ordered out of the sea by a revenue cutter. Captain McLean declared, so the sailors say, that he would enter the sea despite revenue vessels. The Webster brings back 1,300 skins. HE TALKED TOO MUCH.

X, Oct. 3 Thi city was thrown into a panic to-dayby the announce ment that the Ulster County Pavings Insti tution had closed its doors. The bank has always been considered one of the strongest in the State, and its failure is therefore a great financial shock. Bank Superintend ent Charles M. Preston is In charge of the bank and expert examiners have been .at work since Tuesday last. As a result of the examiner's labors it is found that Treasurer Ostrander and Assist ant Treasurer Matthew T. Trumpbonr have stolen the immense sum of 5463,000 between them. Superintendent Preston swore to a complaint charging Trumpbonr with per jury in swearing to false statements con tained in the July report of the bank to the banking department and Trumpbour vAs arrested. He had his clothes all packed up and was preparing to fly from town. He was locked up in jail. OSTItANDEB ALSO JAILED. Ostrander was arrested about two weeks ago for embezzling 7o,000, and was unilcr bonds for 520,000. His bondsmen last night turned him over to Sheriff Dill, and he was locked up in jail. When Ostrander was ar rested there was a great run on the bank for three days, but the other banks came to the rescue of the Ulster County Savings Insti tution, and the trustees mane a statement that there wds a surplus of 247,000. The statement, being signed by such well known men as Judge Alton B. Parker, Gen eral George 11. Sharpe, Judge William H. Kenyon, Postmaster Noah Wolven; John "W. Searing and other reputable citizens, had a reassuring effect, and the depositors who drew out their money brought it baclc The system adopted by Ostrander and Trumpbour was most ingenious, and for 20 years has baffled the skill of expert examin ers in the employ of the State. In carrying it out deceit and perjury have been fre quently and effectively employed. TIIE EXAMINER'S BErORT. Albert O. Judson, of the Banking Depart ment, made the following statement to re porters: Tho examination into the condition and affairs of tho bank has been going on since Monday of this wect. Tho examination Is yet Incomplete. It lias already de veloped tho fact that about S4C0.000 of tho funds of "tho bank have been ab stracted.

This wrong doing couldn't ba discovered except by a very thorough and exhaustive examination, covering many days, which tho trustees, not being experts, are not competent to make. Tho methods adopted by the assistant treasurer to rob tho bank woro thoroughly ingenious, and have never before been encountered by the banks of this State to my knowledge. Ostrander and Trumpbour were arranged before Bccorder Hussey this afternoon. They asked tor an examination, which was set down for Monday morning at 10 o'clock. The trustees of the Kingston Savings Bank, whose banking house is almost opposite the closed bank, had a meeting early this even ing and took precautionary measures to meet anv run whlchj might be made upon them. The run was quite heavy all the morning, there being a long line of deposi tors who were paid as fast as possible. THE TRUSTEES' STATEMENT. The trustees of the bank make the follow ing statement: A comparison of B30 passbooks from every part of tne country witn tne depositors' ledceratthe time of the run on the bank laueato snow any aiscicpancy Deiween tne passbooks and the records of the bank. This strong corroboration of statements of Mr. Trumpbour, and all tho evidence then in our possession, satisfied us that the general ledger accurately stated the amount due depositors and determined us to so inform the public. Our statement, therefore, of Soptember 19 was made upon ovldenco then uncontroverted. The majority of the depositors are poor Seople, many of them old men and women ependent on the interest on the few thousands of dollars they had in the bank, and such men and women, with tears in their eyes, can be seen everywhere about the city, they fearing the loss of their savings. The feeling against the trustees who signed thevstatement is bitter in the extreme. The city officials, fearing that threats to burn the jail where Ostrander and Trump bour are confined would be executed, summoned the Fire Department, who are now watching the Court Honse and jail.

Special Beril Sintzki, a Bussian Hebrew, who arrived with his family on the steamship Kansas yesterday, tells a frightful story of the brutality of Bussian officials.

Corpus Christi, Oct. 3. This city was thrown into excitement this morning by the finding of the body of a girl 11 years old floating in Corpus Christi Bay. It proved to be that of Kowena Hamlin.

After the finding of the first body thou sands of people assembled at the wharf and watched the dragging of the bay. One hour was spent this way when the inanimate form of pretty Helen was brought to the surface. The bodies of the two young girls were taken to their home where the mother swooned. Further search resulted in the recovery of the body of the father. An examination of the body revealed nothing to clear away the mystery. When asked how her husband left the house this morning, Mrs. Hamlin said: "He arose early for a walk with our two daugh ters, and asked me to go along. I told him I was not feeling well, and preferred not to fo. ne replied that if that was my reason e would not leave. I told him to go, and he assured me that he would remain away ' out a snort time. 1 am sure 11 was acci dental" Hamlin was a man of many noble traits of character, and was a member of the Knights of Honor. If he committed the rash act it will be attributed to his recent failure in business and reduced circum stances. CONFIDENCE MEN 0TJID0NE.

Miss Folsom had known Mr. Cleveland from her babyhood up. He was a constant visitor at her father's house in Buffalo until 1875, when Mr. Folsom having died, the family removed to Medina, N. Y. They returned to Buffalo later, in-order that Miss Folsom might attend Mme. Brecher's school there. While the 'country was discussing the ap nroachine marriaze and the identity of the brideMiss Folsom was in Europe with her mother and.her cousin, Ben Folsom. Every effort was made to keep her return secret. When the party embarked on the steamship Nordland at Antwerp, no an nouncement of the fact was made in the newspapers here. On the night of May 27 the Nordland arrived at quarantine, and the President's bride-elect and her companions were taken off in the revenue cutter Chan dler, in which Colonel Dan Lamont, the President's private secretary, had gone down to meet them. The Folsoms went to the Gilsey House, and President Cleveland, who came to New York to review the Dec oration Day parade and to meet his bride, first saw her at the hotel on the Sunday after her arrival. BEADY FOR THE WEDDING. He returned to Washington on Monday night, and the next evening Miss Folsom and her companions followed. The wedding took place on Wednesday in the presence of a few close friends of the bride and groom and the members of the Cabinet and their families, except Attorney General Garland, whose aversion to social functions of any kind kepi him away. The ceremony was performed by the Bev. Dr. Byron Sunder land, of Batavia, N. Y. The honeymoon was spent at Deer Park, in the Allegheny Mountains, in .a oottage owned by Itobert Garrett, of Baltimore. Mr. Cleveland was the only President who had married in the White House, and Mrs. Cleveland, in her 23d year, was the youngest lady of the White House who had presided as a'President's wife. She became also immensely popular. When Mr. Cleve land's term of office expired in 1889 he came to New York to practice law, and took 'his wife to live in the house at Madison ave nue. The past summer Mr. and Mrs. Cleve land spent at Gray Gables, Buzzard's Bay, their country place. WBECKED THE LIMITED. William Canflold Confesses to Having Turned the Switch at Fast Palostlne.

Clerks Rescued From the Clutches of Grasp lnc Money-Lenders Weekly Payments Ordered by Him Hereafter This Will lie a Boon to Needy Employes. rSFCIAL.TLZQBAX TO TUX DISPATCII.J Washington, Oct. 3. Secretary Foster has just issued an order that employes of the departments shall be paid weekly in stead of semi-monthly, as has been the practice for some time. It is thought that this will in some measure do away with the business of the usurers, who make a fat living out of needy clerks by loaning money at from 4 to 10 per cent a month. This has become a great abuse. It began with the more thrifty clerks loaning at big interest toJiey: fellow clerks, who were always be 1 nfv,,ev lenders were generally pro I - i. w Aahiefs and disbursing clerks. ITX...

Becently when a usuref complained to the Secretary of War that a clerk would not repay borrowed money, and it was dis covered that the clerk had already paid $260 Interest on $100 and still owed $80, the Secretary recommended the clerk to pay tne tu at nis convenience, DUt to pay no faore interest To "still further relieve, the clerks there -has been a oustom in vogue ior some time 6f permitting them to draw money between paydays occasionally, on recommendation of the chief of the divis ion.

Beaver Palls, Oct 3. Sprial Mrs. Gertie Hollen, a colored woman, of some little police court notoriety, raised a com motion in the Eleventh Street ru bile School yesterday afternoon. One of the teachers had chastised a son of Mrs. Hollen and the latter took umbrage at it. Arming herself she started for the school. Prof. Beed made himself scarce. She marched into his pri vate room, drew her revolver and striking a tragic attitude, exclaimed: "Where is Prof. Beed. If I find him, hell be dead in less than a minute and I'll be in jail to-morrow." Several teachers "in the room ran out screaming and notified the other teachers. Doors were locked, and while the irate colored woman cavorted through the hall ways, teachers and pupils huddled together with fright in their rooms. In the mean time the janitor, who had fled to the cellar at the first intimation of danger, slipped out and went for the police. The directors will prosecute her. Another Victim of the Erio Wreck.

ABOUT 1,000 MEX TO BE EMPL0TED, The Tisit of a Capitalist to Wales Satisfied! Him of the Profit. ONE KESULT OP TIIE JlINIiET LAW fSPICIAL TEZ.TGKAM TO TIIE DIKPATCT.l San Francisco, Oct a American tin plate is not a campaign myth. Major Mo KinleV may look to this city for a substan tial argument on the tariff and Governor Campbell need not dispute him, for there is no doubt of the facts. One of the most prominent and wealthy manuiacturers of this city is soon to engage in the manufacture af tin plate on a large scale. For the present he wishes his name) withheld from the public, because, he says, he is soon to purchase .1 site for the factory and does not wish to be besieged by real es tate agents or to have the price of property which he desires to secure increased. The gentleman alluded to said that four weeks ago he returned" from Wales, where he found the tin-making industry stagnant on account of the McKinley act. EMPTY FURNACES AT SWANSEA. "In Swansea, the chief tin-making citv of the world," he said, "there were about fiO factories turning out tin plate when the new tariff act was passed. These factories now stand with motionless wheels and empty furnaces, with the exception of a few that are turning out orders for the local trade. "I went to Wales with a view to obtain information on the subject of tin manufact ure, for I saw a promising field for it in San Francisco. I managed to gain a knowledge ' of the latest improvements in the art, and purchased some of the new machines invent ed by T. S. Edwards, which can be operated by a laborer, and by the use of which there is a great saving of time and material. The patentee will send mechanics to this city to put up these machines, and give instructions to the hands employed in the factory. In Wales the tin-maker earns 515 per week and works about eight hours jer day, and as our workmen are more intelligent they should earn from ?20 to S25 per week. Ave intend to employ about 200 hands as soon as our building is erected, and hope to have from 800 to 1,000 at work before the end of the first year." "Where will you obtain your material?" the surrLr of tin. "From Australia, San Bernardino or the Black Hills. Most of the tin used in Wales now comes from Anstralia. It will cost much less to bring it here, and in spite of the tariff we can manufacture to advantage. for we save the cost of transportation over the continent, the cost of boxinir our product in air-tight cases to prevent it from rusting, and the insurance. Then the manu factured tin from abroad often comes in bad condition, for which the Government makes no allowance, and is taxed at the rate of $2 CO per box. All this is in our favor. "Bemember that tin forms not a small part of what is known as tin plate, that is sheet-iron, or steel casted with tin, and if we are compelled to import ore from Aus tralia and pay the duty upon it we will still be able to realize a good profit I believe, however, that we will be able to obtain all the ore we want within the United States and will thus be able to reap the benefit of the duty imposed on imported tin by the McKinley act "Onr market ft fight here. Fully 1,000, 000 boxes of tin are annually consumed in California and our tin would be preferred because it would be bright and could be made to suit the wants of our purchasers." TIN PLATE 13 A GO. The Son of the Largest Welsh Manufacturer Says McKinley Is Right Philadelphia, Oct a E. G. Edwards, a son of Daniel Edwards, the largest indi vidual tin plate manufacturer in Wales, was at the Lafayette last night. In speak ing of the effect of the McKinley bill on the) old Welsh and the new American tin plate industry. Mr. Edwards candidly admitted that he could n ot help but see that the American manufacturers are bound to make the industry a go. "While the tin plate industry in Wales is over a hundred years old," said Mr. Ed wards, "it is really only during the past .'SO years that it has developed to such large proportions. The cause of this develop ment is, candidly speaking, the American market, and when we are deprived of the American market, I must confess that I don't know what the Wclh manufacturers arc going to do. That the American manufacturers are getting in good shape cannot be denied, and I do not think it is a difficult thing that many of the Welsh manufacturers claim for the Amer ican manufacturers to bo able berore lpnjj to meet the demands of the American mar ket There are many old tin plate workers now employed in iron sheet mills in thia country who are simply waiting for a chance to resume their old trade in an American tin plate mill. Then, of course, there are many Welsh workmen who are willing to come over here, as the American manuiact urers are offering skilled workmen just double the money they receive in the Webb, factories. The Welsh manufacturer, too, will have to look around him, and perhaps; come to America. "Your American manufactuiers," said he, "have every requisite for success. You're mining tin, you are making your own steel plates and iron sheets, and you have lots of cash, and cosh will get you all the help you want." Mr. Edwards is going to Pittsburg, and some of the Western manufacturers and ex perts expect to take back to Wales some strong, plain facts regarding the growing importance of the tinplate industry in thi country. THE TIN PLATE PBESEHT Sent Governor Campbell Reaches Him at HU Columbus Home. Columbus, Oct. 3. Special Governor Campbell to-day received by the Baltimore and Ohio express 100 pounds of tin plate from the United States Iron and Tin Manu facturing Company, of Demmler, Pa., the charges being prepaid. The firm took this quiet manner of telling the Governor he does not know what he has been talking about in the campaign. . The same firm, on request, furnishes an affidavit . to the manager of a firm in this city, who use largely of the tin, setting forth the fact of the manufacture and quality and the local manager states they have been using the Pennsvlvania tin for some time and find it superior to that which is im ported.
