tSrECTAL TELEQRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Philadelphia, Oct 3. "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

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

aster at Jlnhoney City.
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.

Boston, Oct. 3. Special General
Ben F. Butler Is charged with breaking a
contract with the 0. F. Jcwett Publishing
Company and giving to a rival firm, A. M.
Thayer & Co., the publication of his
autobiography. The former company asks
that au injunction bo placed on the issuance
of the new work by tho latter. They allege
that General Butler contracted to hate the
book published by them. By ihe terms of

sold. General Butler was seen im
mediately after the document was filed, but
he refused to say anthing until the matter
had been brought before liim thoroughly.
Mr. Elder, the lawyer for the plaintiff,
said that he had had a conversation with"
General Butler about the matter, and that
the General alleges that Mr. Jewett, who is
now in nnancuuuimcuity,liaaDroiCen faith
with him. and that was "the reason
he had I
taken the publication out of the firm's
hands. Judge Lsthrope fixed Tuesday,

Only Two Ladles Are Having the, Rainy

BOSTON, Oct a Special Had ii rained
to-day two women, not 200 as had been
said, would have donned dresses, the like
of which have never before been worn by
civilized women, and sauntered across
streets withont fear of muddy skirts. Ihe
alleged leader in the so-called dress" reform
movement is a very retiring woman who
had little desire for such prominence as has
been forced upon her. Her name is Mrs.
Evelvn Shaw Ingersoll.
"This reform talk is utterly absurd," said
she to-day. "I have not spoken a word to
convert any one to my way ol thinking. I
am having'a costume made of waterproof
cloth with which I shall wear stout walking
boots, with long tops like a riding boot.
"When the suit is readv I shall wear it. but
I have no intention of"keeping it for rainy

UNITED MUTE WOBKEBS.
The National Board Meets, lrat Adjonrng
Over Until Monday. '
Columbus, Oct. 3. .Special All the
State Presidents did not arrive to attend
the meeting of the National Board of
United Mine Workers to-day, and an ad
journment was taken to Monday, when it is
expected all will be here and the considera
tion of the eight-hour day will be resumed.
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. "Withont the Ohio President in favor of
the move, it is not believed that much can
be accomplished. The indications are that
the subject will be thoroughly gone over at
this meeting, and an understanding reached
as to the disposition of the several States,
and at a subsequent meeting there may be
something developed.
A BULLET IN HEE HEAD.
Drunken Nc;rops Fight on a Train and a
Tonne I-ady Is Shot.
Louisville, Oct. 3. Special Miss
Tcnie McEwan, of Frankfort, was shot on a
Louisville and Nashville train on Friday
night by "Wes Watson, a drunken negro.
There was a party of drunken negroes on
the train, one of whom sat down in a seat
beside a lady, whose company h$d left her
for a few minntes. "When asked to vacate
the seat, the negro flew into a rage. His
companions took his part and a row en
sued, in which one of the darkies drew a
pistol and fired.
The ball struck Miss McEwan just below
the left eye and ranged downward, missing
the brain and lodging in the muscles of her
neck. She was removed to her home and
may die. The man who "fired the shot and
his companion were arrested.
Ranm Says He Dlo. Not Resign.
Ciiicago, Oct a-General Green B.
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.

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.

vance from Bahia, was arrested to-day on a
warrant charging him with having con
spired with Captain Frost, of the Fanny
Tucker, to burn the vessel.
The warrant was issued on a complaint of
the Chief Inspector of the National Board

fSPEflAL TELFORAM TO THE DliPATCIt 1
Kingston, N. 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

porters: Tho examination into the condition and
affairs of tho bank has been going on since

cash book. 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.

Take an Awful Revence.
BosTOJf, Oct. 3. 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. Ho and his family were
condemned to exile for a trivial offense and
set out for the mines under a
guard of 19 soldiers. The officer
in charge became enamored with
Sintzki's 16-year-old daughter, and offered
to release the family if the girl were
yielded up to him. When his advances
were repulsed he tied the girl up by the
arms, and tortured her so she died the next
day. When the mother lamented she was
whipped by order of the officer.
Several days later a hay cart passed the
party in which a number of Nihilists were
concealed. A barrel of drugged liquor was
dropped in the path of the soldiers, and
when they became stupid with the liquor
the Nihilists swooped down upon them and
freed the prisoners. The brutal officer was
Hung by the heels until dead. By the as

MYSTERY OF THE BAY.
DROWNING OF A MAN AND TOREE
CHILDREN AT CORPUS CHRISTI.
A Father Takes His Little Flock for a Morn
Inc; Walk and None Aro Seen Again
Alive Three Bodies Recovered Ihe
Mother's Grief.
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.
Horace Hamlin, father of the girl, had left
his residence at 5 o'clock this morning for
a walk, accompaniad by his 2-year-old son
and two daughters, aged 11 and 13 years
respectively.
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.

Standiford opened for business the next
morning on the east side of the square.

hot that they could not open it without de
stroying everything it contained and asked
these parties to give them their notes for
$10,000 each for 30 days and tbey could get
them discounted in this city and go ahead
with their business.
For an accommodation three of these
notes were given for 510,000 each, and

rSPFCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, Oct 3. Five or ten minutes
after midnight this morning the door
keeper, who gave out the information,
thought it was just 12.06 Mrs. Grover
Cleveland, wife of the ex-President, gave
birth to a girl baby, and the reporters who
were awaiting news of such an event at the
time got no news at all. The news did not
get out, indeed, until noon to-day. The
event had been expected from day to day
ever since Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland returned
somewhat hastily on September 22 from
their country place, Gray Gables, at Buz
zard's Bay,
The Cleveland house was besieged by a
flock of inquirers this afternoon. The door
keeper hadn't much to telh "All there Is,"
he said, "is that Mrs. Cleveland gave birth
to a daughter about sir minutes after mid
night this morning. Dr. Joseph D. Bryant
attended her, and the only other person
who was present was her mother, Mrs. Per
rine Folsom. I think they said the baby
weighed eight pounds, but I am not sure.
Both Mrs. Cleveland and the child are do
ing well."
CLEVELAND'S PROUD MESSAGE.
In reply to a note 'that was sent upstairs
to Mr. Cleveland, who was at his wife's
bedside, he sent down the foUowing written
answer:
Baby girl born a little
after midnight;
lance, hcalthv and strong,
and "periect in

markably well.
To a reporter M r. Cleveland said: "Yes,
it is true. My wife was safely delivered of
a little girl this morning at 6 minutes past
midnight, and both the mother and the
child are doing splendidly. Mrs. Cleve
land has rested quietlv all day. The child
is strong and healthy, and at its birth
weighed eight pounds."
To another reporter Mr. Cleveland said:
"I don't want to brag any, but thi,'
now is as stout and as good as most .-bunch
are when they are three or four days o,. , t
Mr. Cleveland was uncertain whether ht,
wife and child would remain in the city,
but he thought that a change of air might
do both good. He acted as if he were
hugely pleased, and said that it was too
early yet to talk about the christening and
that sort of thing. He said he had received
dispatches of congratulations from his sis
ters, his wife's relatives and many of his
-personal friends. Dr. Bryant, who at
tended Mrs. Cleveland, could not be in
duced to speak on the subject He said he
believed it would be a breach of professional
etiquette.
ANNOUNCING THE NEWS.
Mrs. Cleveland was able on Thursday to
pay a visit to irs. uaniei . tjamont, ana
was in good health and spirits then. Mr.
Cleveland himself tdid a good deal of tele
graphing, announcing the news to former
members of his Cabinet and to other friends.
In the' afternoon Miss Jeannette Gilder
came to the house to spend Sunday with
Mrs. Cleveland and the baby. ,
A dispatch from Atchison, Kan., says:

Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom
were married in the Blue Boom of the
White House on Wednesday, June 2, 1880.
Publio interest in the event had been
heightened by attempts to keep the engage
ment and the preparations tor the marnago
secret until almost the last moment
Bumors that the President was about to wed
got into the newspapers early in the year,
and the speculation that followed as to the

knew niM rium babyhood.
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.

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.

It is only within recent years that the pro

dismissed for ceasing the regular monthly
contributions.
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

Secretary recommended the clerk to pay

An Irato Colored Woman Takes Possession
of the Beaver Falls School.
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.

FIVE GENTS
TUT IS CALHpafIA,
A Large- Plate Factory to be Started
Soon in San Francisco.
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. T03U BEED TO BESIGN.

Washington-, Oct. 3. It is reported
that ex-Speaker. Beed will tender his resig
nation and retire from the House before
Congress meets, in order to accept a re
sponsible position with an important cor

The rumor, however, could not be verified.
