PRESS.
Losjiox. Nor. 13. The Executive Com
mittee of the Conservative associations have
drafted a platform to be adopted at the
great party caucus which opens in Birming
ham on the 23d inst. as the final programme
of the party, for the coming elections. The
distinctive name given to the meeting,
"National Union Conference," does not
imply the inclusion of the Liberal Unionist
element. The caucus will be purely Con
servative and will consist of joint delegates
drawn from the English and "Welsh con
stitueecies. The Executive Committee, in view of the
momentous character of the resolutions as
embodying an authoritative party utter
ance, have been long discussing them and
finally approved them yesterday. A
perusal of advance proofs of the resolutions
show that the leading proposal concerns
Ireland, and discloses the fact that the Con
servative leaders have resisted the appeal
of an influential section of the party to ig
nore Irish affairs.
Cntting Down Irish Representation.
The conference will be asked to indorse
the intention of the Ministers to extend
local government and promote technical
education in Ireland. At the same time, it
is declared that the inequalities arising
from according Ireland a disproportionate
representation in Parliament ought to he
redressed.
Other important planks provide for the
extension of the franchise to women land
owners and house occupants: the creation of
a Labor Department under a member of the
Cabinet, to be termed the Labor Minister;
and legislation to enable local authorities
to acquire laud to facilitate the creation of
small rural holdings.
As a further concession to the labor vote
the conference will declare in favor of the
T-rinciple of labor representation, aud nill
nrg Conservatives to support labor candi
iu.es everywhere, whoappeal toenterpublic
life unon no party lines. The plank is deftly
contrived to encourage a split in the Itadi
cal workmen's vote. Next, the Government
is requested to increase the number of ap
pointments of workmen as factory inspec
tors, and to appoint women inspectors.
A Step in the Direction or Protection.
A resolution proposed by Howard
Vincent, M. P., an eager advocate of im
perial federation, who has just returned
from America lull of wrath against the Mc
Kinley law, favors a preferential tariff
throughout the British Empire, the adop
tion of which will not commit the party
leaders. Next, the "one man. one vote"
principle is denounced, while it is declared
that the ballot act must be amended to ex
clude illiterate vpters.
Lord Salisbury, Home Secretary Mat
thews and Sir J.L Gorst will deliver ad
dresses at the mectinc. The Liberal
Unionists, under the lead of Mr. Chamber
lain, will entertain the delegates.
The Conservative bribe to the labor vote
will energize the Gladstnnian movement to
establish a "labor candidate fund." Mr.
Schnadhorst finds that grants of money to
labor aspirants are largely wanted. It is re
ported that Andrew Carnegie offers to place
in the hands of a trustee a large sum as
a nucleus for the proposed fund.
Abates on English AVorklngmen.
Startling evidence has been laid before
the Labor Commission in regard to the con
dition of the operatives in the textile trades
in Lancashire and Yorkshire. Of the work
ers" scant wages, ranging from 16 shillings
weekly upward, a system of relentless fines
absorbs a large percentage. The manufact
urers hold the Workers responsible for
spoiled material. A single fine sometimes
absorbs a whole week's wages, aud any ex
cess of fine over wages is carried forward
until the whole fine is worked off Many
workmen live in a state of semi-starvation,
bound hand and foot by the accruings of
their employers' illegal fines.
Truck abuses, supposed to have been sup
pressed, are still in active existence and the
factory acts are openly defied. Factory in
spectors deposed that spies were sent to
watch for and announce their coming in
order to prevent them from getting com
promising information.
Alarming Defect tn Dig Naval Guns.
The British Admiralty is much excited
over the growing record of defects in great
guns on English warships. Five vessels
nave recently Been omciallv declared to be
carrying unreliable guns. In the 110-ton gun
of the ironclad Benbow. which has been
in commission only a few weeks, a
crack developed in the inner tubes after fir
ing a few rounds of 9G0 pounds each, consti
tuting the full charge. Similar accidents
have happened to guns on the Victoria and
Sans Pareil. Generally the heaviest wcap
one are becoming distrusted, and the Ad
miralty has ordered that a number of them
be taken to the ordnance works to be
strengthened. Meanwhile the 75-ton guns
of the French fleet are acting perfectly.
The Due cl Orleans bcmndal.
The Due de la Tremouille and the Duo de
Noaille6, prominent Orleanists, have ar
rived at Sheen House for a conference with
the Comte de Paris in regard to the charges
against the Due d' Orleans in connection
with the Melba divorce case. The Due d'
Orleans persists that his relations with
Mme. Melba have been purely platonie.
Political clubs are interested in a contro
versy raised by X P. O'Conner, M. P., in
accusing Mr. Stuart, M. P., of originating
the split in the Pafnellite party by iiijud
cious haste in publishing Mr." Gladstone
November letter to Mr. Parnell. Mr.
O'Connor's abuse of Mr. Stuart, who suc
ceeded him as manager of the London Star
has led to the disclosure that Arnold Mor
ley, the liberal whip, gave to the press the
letter referred to under the authority of Mr.
Gladstone. Mr. O'Connor is, therefore, left
in the position of charging Mr. Gladstone
with the initiative of the rupture in the
Irish party.
Land Monopoly the Cause or War.
Rome, Nov. 13. At the International
Peace Congress, in session in this city, a
leading speech was made by Mrs. Mary
Frost Ormsby, of New York, who is the
head of the American delegation. Mrs.
Qnnsby's subject was. "The Real Cause
and the Real Cure of "War." In her opinion,
land monopoly is the primary cause of war.
The German Italian Treaty.
Berlin, Nov. 13. It was announced to
day that the protocol of a treaty of com
merce between Germany and Italv has been
'igned.
Sixteen Shipwrecked Sailors Drowned.
Paris, Nov. 13. A fishing ves-cl which
had been caught in the furious gales which
have been prevailing in the English chan-
nel had been driven ashore at the village of
Berck-Sur-Mcr, near Boulogne. One after
another of her crew succumbed to the ele
ments until 1G of them had been swept to
their death.
ANOTHER BABDSLEY IN BEBLIN.
Banker Mass Tails for 1,750,000 Marks, the
Host or 'Which Ho Stole.
Berlin, Nov. 13. The rumor which pre
vailed on the Bourse this morning regard
ing the misappropriation of funds in the
Charlottenburg bank spread rapidly, and
with the kuowledee of how "Wolff, of the
firm of Herschfield & "Wolff, who is now in
jail, had sold or pledged securities which
did not belong to him, the storv of the
latest embezzlement found ready listeners.
Later in the day it transpired that the
story was true.
The Charlottenberg hanker who has
robbed his customers is named Mass. His
embezzlements will amount to a very large
sum. The money appropriated bv Mass to
his own use includes 20,000 marks which
had been subscribed toward the
fund for the erection of a church
in memory of the late Empress
Augusta, grandmother of Emperor William.
Ten thousand marks which were to be de
voted to the Prince Frederick Charles Insti
tute have also disappeared. In addition
Mass has succeeded in making awav with
400,000 marks deposited in his bank by 150
artisans and small traders. Liabilities are
estimated at 1,750,000 marks. Mass ap
peared at the Central police station in Ber
lin this morning and delivered himself to
the authorities, confessing his wrong doing.
A Coalition Against the Cabinet Falls.
Paris, Nov. 13. Forty members of the
Chamber of Deputies, belonging to the
party of the Bight, have declined to ac
quiesce in the proposal that they coalesce
with the Radicals to upset the Cabinet of
M. de Freycinet.
Austria to Admit American fork.
Vienna, Nov. 13. The Austrian Gov
ernment will shortly abolish the prohibi
tion of the importation of American pork

E0BEBT BAY HAMILTON'S DEATH.
One Who Has Investigated Says It Was
Probably Due to Foul Play.
Cleveland, November 13. A wealthy
merchant of this city, Ralph "Worthington,
has jnst returned from a hunting expedition
in the vicinity of Jackson's Lake, Wyo.,
with three Dephews of Andrew Carnegie.
He made careful inquiries there concerning
the cause of Robert Hay Hamilton's death.
He is of the opinion that Hamilton's death
was due to foul play, and not to accident.
AVhen the body was exhumed water grass
was found entangled in the spurs. Mr.
"Worthington says that the ford in Snake
river where the accident is said to have oc
curred is paved with white bowlder, and
that there is no sign of water grass in the
river for some distance from it. The depth
of water in the ford is only 15 inches on an
average, and a horse can easily
wade on either side 50 feet away.
Members of the Mormon colony of
Bexburg, near Jackson's Lake, told Mr.
"Worthington that they had good reasons to
believe that Hamilton met with fonl play.
Sargent occupies Hamilton's luxuriously
furnished lodge with his wife, who is de
scribed as a beautiful woman, and their two
children.

HATRED FOR AMERICA
At the Bottom of MoreThan One Out
break on the Part-of Chileans.
SIGNIFICANT LETTERS EECEIVED.
The Attack on the Baltimore's Men Not the
First of the Kind.
A CHANGE OF C0DESB FOE THE PETEEL
fFBOM A STAFF CORRISPOJTOEXT.l
"Washington, Nov. 13 The Chilean
mail, which arrived in "Washington to-day,
brought letters from a large number of of
ficers and men on board the Baltimore with
in up to a few days before the brawl in Val
paraiso, in which two American seamen
lost their lives. Each of these letters
speaks of the bad feeling of the Chileans
toward the United States, and especially
toward the sailors of the Baltimore and the
San Francisco.
Up to the time that these letters were
written there had already been several
fights between the Valparaiso mob and
sailors ashore from the vessels. According
to one letter received by a man here from
his brother.a more than ordinarily intelligent
seaman, a party of men from the San Fran
cisco got into a row on shore one night just
before that vessel sailed, and had to fight
their way back to the wharf. In the fight,
according to this storv, several ot the men
belonging to the San Francisco, were badly.
used up, but two of the Chileans wefi
killed. .
Where Captain Schley Made a Mistake.
As this story is not substantiated by any
official reports, it is probably an exaggera
tion, so far as the killing of tbe Chileans is
concerned. It shows, however, that the
fight in which the men from the Baltimore
were killed was not by any means the first
encounter between American seamen and th e
Valparaiso mob, and keeping this in mind,
together with the bad feeling against Ameri
cans generally, it is surprising that Captain
Schley, of the Baltimore, should have let
any of his men go ashore at that port.
Since the formal organization of the new
Government of Chile, and the accrediting
of Senor Montt as Minister to the United
States, it has been evident in "Washington
that the relations between the two countries
have been less strained, and though Senor
Montt lias not yet been formally presented
to the President, there is reason to believe
that he has already taken occasion to assure
Mr. Blaine that his country will take a rea
sonable view of the situation, will make a
thorough and impartial investigation of the
killing of the American seamen, and will
punish the guilty persons and do whatever
else is proper.
Indications of a Better Feeling.
Among the indications of better feeling
between the two Governments is the re
laxation of the extraordinary rush of
preparations in the navy yards. The
Atlanta, Newark, Concord and Bennington
were all to have gone to sea this week, but
now none of them will get off until next
week, and while they will go to the West
Indies and tht South Atlantic, and thus be
much nearer Chile than at present, there
will be no extraordinary haste in sending
them.
It is significant that the Petrel, which
arrived to-day at San Lucia, in the "West
Indies, on her way to China via the South
Atlantic and the South Pacific, touching at
Valparaiso, was ordered by cable to change
her course and go by wav of the Mediter
ranean and the Suez canal.
If any other ship than those now attached
to the .Pacific is ordered to Valparaiso in the
near future it will probably be the Philadel
phia, Admiral Gherardis flagship, now at
St Thomas. The Admiral is anxions to go
to Chile. He went so far, in fact, as to ak
as his right as senior officer of the navy
afloat, to be sent to Chile and put in charge
of operations, if there was any danger of
hostilities, and, thoughthere is no' such
danger yet, Admiral Brown is so specially
disliked by the Chileans that Secretary
Tracy may conclude it is good policy to
send an entirely new man to take charge.
ADMIBAL BEOWS'S FLAT DENIAL
Of tho Statement That He Gave Away Any
State Secrets.
"Washington, Nov. 13 In view of the
repeated statement that Admiral Brown or
Eome of his ship's company informed the
Balmacedan. Government of the landing of
the Congressional forces at Quinteros, last
August, Secretary Tracy seized the oppor
tunity afforded by the presence of the Ad
miral with the San Francisco, at Acapulco,
Mexico, a few days ago, and addressed the
following telegram to him:
WAsnrrGTOy, Nov. 10.
To Admiral Brown, Steamer San Francisco, Aca
pulco: Did you invite .any Chilean officer to ac
company vou on hoard the San Francisco to
witness the landing of Chileans at Quin
teros? Did you or any of the officers of your
crew on j our return on that occasion toYal
naraiso communicate Information about
what you saw to any person not connected
with your vessel? Tract.
Admiral Brown's response was as fol
lows: ACAFDXCO, Nov. 10.
To the Secretary of the Navy, "Washington:
I did not Invite or take any Chileans. I
invited foreign officers only. A German
went. No ono from the ship gave any Infor
mation. Full information about the landing
was known at Santiago and Valparaiso be
fore I sailed at noon. Bbowk.
Iu addition to the foregoing positive
statements by Admiral Brown, he distinctly,
states in his report to the department, dated
August oi, mat ne was lniormed before
they sailed from Valparaiso that the Con
gressional forces had effected a landing.
CHILE'S CABINET MUDDLE,
A Compromise Reached and the Resigna
tions Are Not Accepted.
"Valparaiso, Nov. 13. The complica
tions that have arisen in the Provisional
Government of Chile, on account of the
resignations of Minister of the Interior
Irrerazafal aud Minister of Agriculture
Joaquin Walker-Martinez, seem in a fair
way of being straightened out. The resig
nations have not been accepted by the
Junta. It is expected that in view of the
concessions made to their party they will
retake their portfolios.
A report has just reached here from San
tiago that Pedro T. Gandarillas has shot
and killed himself at his hiding place on a
farm in the mountains in the vicinity of the
capital. He was Balmaceda's Minister of
Agriculture in the first Cabinet formed
bv the Dictator. The cause of his suiciri
was the fear of persecution on the part
of the Junta. He did not dare to stand
trial.
A G0VEBH0E DEPOSED.
Fonseca Loses the Aid or His Supporter in
Rio Grand do Snl.
Eio Janeiro, Nov. 13. An official tel
egram received to-day from Porto Alegre
says Senor Castilho, the Governor of Eio
Grande do Sul, has been deposed from office
and that a provisional Government is ad
ministering the affairs of that Province.
Senhor Castilho has always remained
loyal 'to General Fonseca, and a few days
ago the Dictator dispatched a number of
gunboats and transports filled with troops
to his assistance.
Tho Concord to Join the Philadelphia.
.Washington, Nov. 13. Orders were

VAGUE RUMORS OF BATTLE
RECEIVED IN LONDON.

The Governor of Rio Grade do Snl Sup
ports the Authorities.
London, Nov. 13. The alarming reports
from Brazil are confirmed to-day by a
dispatch received by a leading financial
house having large interests in that country.
This message says, in substance: "Affairs
look had; upheaval probable; result un
certain; several provinces revolting;
troops rejoining opposition; Fonseca
cannot count on navy; health
bad; fighting going on somewhere; Fonseca
defeated; exchange dropping; garrison at
Rio uneasy; finance blue; paper money
tinder cloud; prices of everything rising;
presence of strong (British) fleet good
effect; opposition gaining every hour; much
bloodshed possible." From this synopsis
of the situation it will be seen that the
worst is to be feared.
Other and similar messages, some of
them giving more details, and others of a
decidedly more sensational character, have
been received in London during the past
few hours. Further fighting is reported in
Brazil, and the opposition forces are asain
credited with victory. The place where the
battle was fought is not stated; but it is
supposed to have been in the vicinitv of
Santa Ana, near Porto Alegre, the capital
of Rio Grande Do SuL A number of
other towns, in addition to Porto Alegre,
are reported to have hoisted the flag of
the National party of Brazil, and large
bodies ot troops are being raised in tne
provinces with the ultimate intention, it
is said, of advancing upon the Dictator's
headquarters at San Paulo.
It is now said that Da Fonseca's idea in
leaving Eio Janeiro for San Paulo, was un
doubtedly caused by the two facts already
mentioned in these dispatches, namely, that
he makes his base of operations there be
cause it is near Santos, a port he is said to
be certain he can count upon, because he
can there prevent a junction between the
forces of. the Province of Rio Grande Do 4
Sul, and, finally, because his advisers are
said to be of the opinion that the political
atmosphere of Kio Janeiro is not at the
present moment thoroughly beneficial to the
Dictator's health.
The Governor of Eio Grande Do Sul, who
is an adherent of Da Fonseca's party, has
assured the supporters of the Dictator in
that province that a fleet of Brazilian war
vessels will shortly arrive off Jhe coast of
Ejo Grande Do Sul, and that no quarter
will be shown to those who have "revolted
against the Government."
COVERED WITH GLORY.
A POLICEMAN GAINS FAME BV SHOOT
ING A BURGLAR.
Royersford Proud of a Plucky Officer
Exciting Chase of Two Brothers A
Robber's Desperate but Fntllo Attempt
to Kill a Policeman.
EoYERSrORD, Nov. 13 Special. Harry
H. Beideman, a Eoyersford policeman, pre
vented a burgla-y this morning and covered
himself with glory by shooting down one
of the would-be offenders, whose body now
lies at Bishop's undertaking establishment,
awaiting the disposition of the man's
friends.
At an early hour this morning Policeman
Beideman came upon thre? men engaged in
an attempt to pry open the door of Samuel
Lacy's clothing store. When he accosted
the men and undertook to take them in cus
tody, the trio dispersed, with Beidman in
close pursuit of one of them, a Hungarian.
Coming up to the latter, he commanded him
to halt. The fellow realizing that capture
was inevitable, was ready to add crime of
of murder to that of attempted burglary,
and, turning suddenly about, hurled with
all his force a file, directly at the officer's
head. The latter dodged trie missile, but in
the excitement the Hungarian gained a few
seconds upon his pursurer.
By this time Beideman's brother, also a
policeman, had his attention drawn to the
scene by the shouts of the two men, and
hastened to the spot. The two brothers
then joined in pursuit of the fleeing Hun
garian, calling on him a number of times to
stop. The fellow did not heed their com
mand, and continuing his flight the officers
opened fire on him with their revolvers.
Several shots were fired without effect,
when a well-aimed bullet from Harry
Beideman's pistol felled the fugitive.
Eushing to his prostrate form they found
him gasping for breath, and before aid could
be summoned death had ended the fellow's
life.
An examination disclosed a wound in the
shoulder, the ball probably descending and
piercing the breast. The body whs removed
to the morgue to await an inquest by the
Coroner, after which it will be turned over
to the robber's friends if any appear. The
thief, a middle-aged man, "was a stranger
about the place. His two accomplices made
their escape, and left no clew as to the di
rection they took. The affair created
quite an excitement in the borough, and
Policeman Beideman is the lion of the
hour.

gallons of water, broke, and the mine began
to flood. The water, which rushes in from
a passing stream, gathered rapidly. Fifty
miners hurried from their work in great
alarm to reach the carriage which conveys
them to the surface only to discover that
their avenue of escape had beeu cut off by
an unforeseen accident
When near the top of the shaft, a car of
coal, which was being taken tip, had rolled
from the carriage and had fallen hundreds
of feet, while the vehicle, freed of its bur
den, had rushed to the top of the shaft and
become immovable in the tower. The only
other way to reach the surface was to face
the raging waters, pass through them and
reach a narrow passageway which led to the
shaft of the Vonstorch mine.
With stern-set faces the miners advanced
toward the incoming stream. They waded
into the water, which grew deeper every
step. Soon it reached their knees, then
their hips and 'then their shoulders, but
still they went on. To turn back meant
death, while ahead was hope of safety. For
1,000 feet the men trudged on, with the water
up lo their necks. Thev were compelled to
throw their heads sidewise. With one ear
in the poisonous sulphur water, and oc
casionally drawing in the water with their
breath, they steadily strove to reach the
dry shore hundreds of yards away.
John Jones, a Welsh miner, finally gave
np in despair and asked the others to go on
and leave him perish. Thev refused,- but a
dozen hands assisting him along. Suddenly,
with a thrill of joy, one of the men found
his shoulders rising above the water, and
five minutes later all were on dry land.
WILD MEN IN THE WOOD.
A Party Will Be Made Up Soon to
Ex-
plore the Forest for Them.
FrNDLA-sr, Nov. 13. Special. Extend
ing through the townships of Liberty,
Blanchard and Pleasant, in this county, is a
tract of land known as "The Big Wood,"
which is almost impenetrable, owing to
underbrush, old logs and swales. For years
the impression has existed that several
wild men were living in this vast wilder
ness, and at various times it has been re
ported by farmers looking for stray animals
that these denizens of the forest have been
seen, though, as yet, no one has been near
enough to talk to them. Only this morn
ing two boys ran home declaring that they
had been chased out of the brush by a wild
man. The boys did not stop to investigate
the appearance of their pursuers, but their
description tallies with stories of others
who have seen the creatures. Thev said
they were uncouth, with long, matted hair
all over their faces, and seem to be only
partly dressed in pld rags.
Farmers living in the vicinity of these
forests frequently miss old clothes and
cooking utensilsbut nothing of any great
value, and many believe that these "wild
men" are the marauders. Rude brush and
bark huts are occasionally found in the
depths of these wilds. Quantities of corn
and potatoes are taken in the summer and
fall. There is a large cave in the low hills
near Indian Green, where they go in cool
weather. A party will be made np in a
few days to hunt them down.
A Serlons Conflict of Authority.
Wheeling, Nov. 13. Special. There
is a prospect that the case of the forger.
Colonel Isaiah J. Porter, will lead to a con
flict of authority between the State and
Federal authorities. When Porter was ar
rested here he was committed on a State
charge. Then a Federal official came here
from Washington with a warrant, apd went
before a United States commissioner. As a
result, Porter was taken from jail to the
Custom House without the knowledge or
consent of the State officers, and there ar
raigned and committed on another commit
ment to await transportation to Washing
ton.f The State authorities refused to rec
ognize this, and will to-morrow deliver the
prisoner to the Sheriff of Berkeley county,
who to-night wired that he would arrive.
The Clouston Trial Neanng Its End.
Parkersburo, Nov. 13. Special. The
evidence insthe Clouston case unexpectedly
ended to-day, both sides resting. Clouston
did not go on tne stand. The principal
witnesses for the State were the three men
named Schumway, each of whom denied be
ing witnesses in the case in which the fraud
ulent certificates were issued. Deputy
State Auditor Harris testified to the fact of
the non-payment of the certificates. Clous
ton's witnesses were Prosecuting Attorney
Caldwell, who testified that he told the
Schumways to claim their attendance, but
did not know when it was. The arguments
begin to-morrow.
The Gas Leak Lesson Unheeded.
Homestead, Nov. 1& Special A
natural gas explosion occurred in the
grocery Btore of Darsie & Boyd, at Mun
hall at noon to-day, and a young lady em
ployed as bookkeeper was seriously injured
about the head. A leak had been detected
in the cellar but could not be located, and
it was finally decided to search for it with a
lighted lamp. Suddenly there was a terri
ble explosion, which shattered all the glass,
and the goods inside were all thrown to
gether in a pile. There were four persons
in the store at the time, bnt all escaped
with the exception of the bookkeeper. The
loss will amount to about $400.
Investigating the Kellly Tragedy.
Bradford, Nov. 13. A full investiga
tion of tho death of Andrew Eeilly is being
made by the Coroner. His late business
partner, A H. Kidder, testified to-night
that when he was last seen he was not in
his right mind, but other reliable witnesses
claim that the man was perfectly sane.
Eeilly, it is said, had Incurred the enmity
of a certain person, and suspicion rests
upon that person as the probable murderer,
if Eeilly did not kill himself.
A Fine Fishing Region.
New Castle, Nov. 13. A record shows

The Story of a Westmoreland Constable's
Cruelty to a Woman Retold.
Greensburg, Nov. 13. Alexander Mc
Crady, the constable of Eostraver town
ship, this county, will be tried for mnrder.
The grand jury in its deliberations to-day
returned a trne bill against the officer, but
the case has been postponed until the Feb
ruary term of court.
Several months ago Constable McCrady
was given a warrant by a justice at Web
ster, on the Baltimore and Ohio Eailroad,
for the arrest of Henrietta Ludwig, the wife
of a German residing in that neighborhood.
The woman was charged by a neighbor with
quarreling with children. McCrady ent
to the house to make the arrest and found
Mrs. Ludwie in attendance upon a sick
child. The officer insisted npon the woman
accompanying him, however, but she re
fused. The officer went to the attending
physician and consulted him, and the doc
tor told the officer, it appears, that the
woman should not leave the bed of the
child. The constable appeared again at the
house of Mrs. Ludwig, and, it is alleged,
pulled a revolver and compelled the woman
to go with him, she carrying the sick baby
in her arms. They went to the office of the
magistrate, and upon the return of the poor
woman to her home the baby died, as the
physician stated, from exposure. McCrady
was arrested charged with murder.
COBBY DEF0SIT0BS ABE HOPEFUL.
Still No Official Keport as to the Defunct
Bank's Condition.
Corrt, Kov. 13. Special. The com
mittee appointed at the meeting of deposit
ors of the Corry National Bank last
Wednesday evening met the directors this
afternoon. A large proportion of the stock
was represented. After considerable con
sultation as to the reopening of the bank
and making good the impaired stock an ad
journment was taken until Tuesday, when
the final decision will be reached.
A special from Washington says Comp
troller Lacy has not received an official re
port of the affairs from Examiner Miller,
but from information received from other
sources is led to believe that the bank's con
dition is excellent. If the Examiner's re
port, which was finished to-day and for
warded to Washington, sustains this view
the bank may be able to resume. It was
reported should it be necessary to appoint a
receiver, that the Comptroller has emphat
ically stated that he does not believe it good
policy to appoint to the receivership of the
defunet bank a citizen of the same place. It
is understood that Eepresentatives Gris
wold. of the Twenty-sixth district, and
Stone, of the Twenty-seventh, each have an.
application.

PARDON AND PENANCE
Yet Await Dr. McGlynn, "Whenever
Be Is Ready to Go After Them.
THE "PLTI1IATU3I OP THE HOLY SEE.
The Excommunicated Priest Has Xo Answer
to Make Just Yet.
nOW HE RECEIVED THE INFORMATION
rPFECIAI, TZLKQBAM TO THE OISPATCH.l
New York, Nov. 13. Ever since the
visit of Bishop Moore, of Florida, to Eome,
not long after the excommunication of Dr.
McGlynn, of this city, reports have been
circulated periodically that the McGlynn
case is to be reopened. One of these re
ports was submitted to-day to Archbishop
Corrigan and he made the following state
ment: t
The position of tho church with regard to
Dr. McGlynn has Deen misunderstood, and I
wish to set the matter aright, so that there
may be no misapprehension or false concep
tion of the attitude of the Holy Seo. In re
gard to the case of Dr. McGlynn, it will suf
fice to quoto a letter sent to me some time
ago, by the sacred congregation, with per
mission to publish it whenever such a step
should seem advisable. This letter has been
approved, word for word, by the Holy
Father, and tbe public may rest assured
that no departure will be made from its pro
visions. Keferring to tho efforts made bv a friendly
prelato in behalf of Dr. McGlynn. the
sacred congregation says: "They make him
reflect that tbe propaganda came to the
decision reached by them with regard to
McGlynn on the strength of incontestable
documents, after long and patient waiting,
and after having employed in jthe case the
means that the wisdom and patience of tho
Holy See could suggest."
merits of tho Case fot Entered Into.
With this view a brief history was given
of the action of the sacred congregation in
the premises, from which it Is made mani
fest that tho propaganda punished Mc
Glynn for disobedience of tbe orders of the
Holy Father, without entering into tho
merits of the case. Finally, they concluded
to still be disposed to use mercy, should ho
recur to the Indulgence of tho Holy See. In
this case the request would not be consid
ered as an appeal, but a petition for the re
view of his case to. be granted only by sub
mitting to tbe following conditions:
First That McGlynn himself make there
quest and state his grievances.
Secondly That he publicly condemn all
that ho has said and done of an insulting
character as against the Archbishop and as
against the Holy fi"e.
Thirdly That Pe be ready to abide bv the
orders and submit to the Judgment of the
Apostolic See.
Fourthly Tbath.j promise to abstain from
any public utterance or assistnnco at any
meeting on tbe matter under consideration.
This is the ultimatum. I would be most
happy to see Dr. McGlynn relieved from the
penalties under which he Is suffering, hut I
have no hope whatever that anything will
be done for him until he submits to the au
thority of the Holy See. This can be no
grievance to him, and it is a condition of the
Catholic faith. Let him obey, therefore, as
from the beginning of Christianity bishops,
archbishops and patriarchs have obeyed the
summons of the Sovereign Pontiff calling
them to Home, and through obedience ho
will obtain pardon and penance.
Dr. McGlynn Has Nothing to Say.
A copy of this statement was shown to
Dr. McGlynn. It was the first intimation
he had had of the papal ultimatum, and. in
viting the reporter who had called to take a
seat in the parlor, he retired to another
room and read the article over carefully.
It was nearly .half an hour before he made
up his mind' what answer he would make,
and by that time he had concluded to say
nothing at all.
"You may say," said he, "that I have not
seen or heard of the article before, and
know nothing about it. I have nothing to
say at present for publication."

510-518 MAKKET STREET:
THERE WERH FmEBU6S-
Canso ot the LawrencevMIe fires Satlsfac
torily Explained One Started by a Cigar
Stump Another hy a Piece of Clothing
Falling in a Stove.
Notwithstanding various reports to tha
contrary, the loss by fire at Thirty-fourth
street and Penn avenue yesterday morning'
will fall below 520,000. In yesterday's
DiSPATcn the loss, figured within an hour
alter the fire was discovered, was fixed at
15,000, and when the final totals are com
pleted this estimate will be found nearly
correct The mysterious rumors of incen
diarism were traced down yesterday and
found to have little or no foundation.
It was established beyond a doubt that
the blaze originated in a small shed
on Thirty-fourth street, 20 feet in the rear
of G. W. Tea's drugstore. Mr. Tea used
this building for the storage of empty
boxes, barrels and waste paper. No fire or
light of any kind is ever used in it, no
benzine or other combustible fluid was kept
in it at any time, and no explosion occurred
in it during the fire as has been reported.
The origin of the fire, according to tho
belief of more than a dozen persons whoso
opinions should have weight, is that soma
careless smoker threw either a match or
cigar stump against the rear of the shed in
rear of Tea's store, and that it was fanned
by the high wind blowing at the time and
carried into the shed through a crack be
tween the boards. This theory is
strengthened by the fact that the
corner on which the shed is located
was a favorite loafing place for men,
who stopped there to light cigars.
Wm. Gardner, secfetary of the People's
Insurance Co., visited the scenes of the fire
yesterday'and made an investigation. He
said last evening, "We are interested in the
I033 of the Citizens' Traction Co., and
in my investigation to-day I found no rea
son to charge the fire to incendiaries."
Fire Marshal McFadden, has not yet
made an investigation of the origin of tha
fire but will this morning. He has not been
notified of any incendiary suspicions. Sup
erintendent of Police AVeir, said last night
that his police had satisfied themselves that
there was no ground for suspecting anyone
of setting fire to the buildings. Chief
Humphries also investigated the matter and
was of the same opinion.
The losses incurred by the fire were as fol
lows, figures being given by the owners: A.
M. Krut, 3402 Penn avenue, wagon shop,
52,000, and stock, machinery, ect, 58,000;
Citizens Traction Co., No. 3406, 54,000 on
office furniture, fixtures eta; G. W. Tea,
No. 3100, not over 53,000 on building, house
hold goods and store, possibly less; J. J.
Slattery, first floor, No. 3108, pool room,
5400; Wildwood Dairy, first floor. No. 3404,
stock and fixtures, 5300; Mrs. Baits, three
upper floors, No. 3408, boarding house, 5300.
All the above losses are fully covered by
insurance, except Mrs. Baits and Slattery.
The insurance companies interested ap
pointed a committee yesterday to investi
gate the losses.
There is considerable indignation among
the people at the forks of the road, where
the fire occurred, on account of Krut's
building. They say Knit's shop, which
was three stories high and 20x120 feet in
size, was built entirely of rough boards and
not even lined. They say, and Krut him
self admitted, that the building permit was
secured last spring for political services
rendered by him in the spring election. He
says he intends to apply for a permit for
another wooden building on the same site.
The kitchen in the rear of Frank
Soe vyn's tailor shop. No. 2607 Penn avenue,
was slightly damaged by fire at 4 o'clock
vesterdav mornimr. An alarm was sent in.
but the engines were all on duty at the
Thirty-fourth street fire and Mr. Soevyn ex
tinguished the blaze with a few buckets of
water. A report was published that the
fire was of incendiary origin, but Chief
Humphries made an investigation which
showed that an article of clothing which had
been hanging on a line fell off on the
kitchen stove and ignited. The loss was
trifling.
