FIGUBES OX PLATE GLASS Given to the Thousands Gathered in Honor of Captain Ford. . STORY OF THE BRONZE STATUE. So Jlonej but That Contributed bj Work men Used to Erect It MEMBERS OF TUB FIRM IX THE PARADE Congressman John Dalzell experienced a moment of inspiration yesterday. As he roe to address an immense out-door audi ence at Ford City, he hesitated longer than his usual custom, and then he said im pressively: "We meet to-day for a purpose as re markable as it is significant. "We meet to unveil the statue of a man, the story of whose life and work is characteristically American. He is neither statcsman,orator, man ot letters nor military chieftan. He bears no lofty titles, wears no decorations, claims no other place than that belonging to n plain American citizen. Xor is he a man of the past receiving tardy posthumous honors." Mr. Dalzell paused. The spirit of the strange spectacle that Ford City presented this day seemed to suddenly overwhelm him. and iith rising voice, uplifted armnnd flashinc eye, the silver-tongued statesman Tesumed: "Perhaps the strangest feature of all in The Statue. this unique drama is the relation that exists between the honoring and the honored. Three thousand American workmen uould here dedicate to perpetual remembrances the name and the fame of their employer. Well-paid J-abor stands with nncoveicd head to honor just and gen ous Capital. Here " and the orator hesi tated once more, as if the echo of the last sentence irom the hills across the Allegheny river would better help his hearers realize the majesty of the scene "here are no frowning face, nor clenched fists, hut rather hands clasped upon the even plane of a common manhood." An Occasion of Deep Significance. The deeper significance of the occasion nppcared to burst upon the pople at this juncture, and a murmnr of approbation went over the vast concourse there gathered on the green, which broke into a roar of ap plause that drowned the speaker's voice i'or a moment. "Without unubt labor and capital had no where on the American continent ever made Mich a marked demonstration of fri. wNiiip as this was. Eor six months past the 3,000 work men of the I'ittsburg l'late Glass Company have been subscribing mall sums of money anions: themselves for the purpose of learing a monument in honor ot Captain J. II. l"o d, the founder of the company which employs, them. This venerable man was the orieinator of the plate glass in dustry in all America, and it wa? designed lo hoiior his fOth birthday with the planting of his form in imperishable bronze upon the very soil he bought and beautified lor their honics. The general plan adopted by the workmen was to donate the proceeds of one day's work to this fund. The firm was not consulted, and - were not per mitted to have anv share in arrangements beyond being asked to en tirely shut dow n al! three factories operated by them on Saturday. This was done. The three lactones are at Creighton, Tarentum i ,. l fit.. o T1 . : : i .1 Anuxnni uii. ocui;t. wains uarneu uie i workmen iree irom vrcigiuon anil Taren tum to Fonl City, which wore a complete holiday attire. Description of the Statue. The statue ot Captain Ford is a handsome bronze standing on a pedestal of red Wester ly granite. The bronze represents the Capt ain with uncovered head, standing erect, with his hands carelessly interlocking be hind him a favorite attitude of the gentle man. Oathe pedestal is the inscription: Euected ix uoxon op J. B. FOED, The Father of the 1'l.ito Glass Indus try in America, : 3.000 Exit-lotts, : On the Eightieth : : Anniversary of His : Birth, : Xovembeb XI, 1891. : The bronze is i feet 3 inches high, and the pedestal ieet additional 12 feet 3 inches in all. The work stands upon a terraced mound in the cenr of the pretty little park which the plate glass company has laid out and donated to the town. Close beside the monument was erected the tem poral platform upon which the exercises were field. It was daintily bedecked with flags. Hack of this was a band stand, which ill be r. permanent feature of the campus. An interesting procession was formed by the workmen Iroui all the lactones, the members ot the firm walking in the ranks. $ mi lip mm a Only one of the proprietors, Captain Ford, rode, and that only because of his age. Many unfque transparencies and banners were" carried bv the men. "Actions Speak Louder Than "Words" and "J. B. Ford is the kind of a man who puts money into cir culation" are samples of these. One sim ple inscription that touched many hearts was mat reading: v eicomu j: nenus. see Our Happy Homes !" Congressman Dalzell' Story. Captain Ford and his aged wife sat upon the platform with his sons, daughters and grandchildren, and distinguished guests gathered around them. Hon. Henry "Warn er, formerly Superintendent of the work house, nnd'now Managing Director of Ford City, had charge ot the exercises. - The dramatic character of his opening sentences was sustained throughout Congressman lMizeu s address, it was intensely interest ing. He told a story of economic growth and progress in the nation's indus try as he found it interwoven into the threads of Captain Ford's eventful life. He told how the Captain tried to establish the industry in the United States first at 2Cew Albany, Ind., at Louisville and then at Jefferson villi", Ind., but how financial ruin followed the experiments at all three places. The first dollar of profit ever made on plate glass inside this country was only made when Captain -Ford commenced mak ing the glass in Allegheny ocunty, Penn sylvania. Mr. Dalzell then adduced protective les sons fromMhis, which are of national in terest. He said: England's Duty on Flato Glass. In 1SGS. when Captain Ford laid the foun dations of the plate glass industry, wo were dependent for our supply upon Belgium, England, France and Germany, in all of which -countries its manufacture had the protection of tariff duties. As caily as 1G7I, in the reign of Charles II., England im posed a duty of $1 29 per square foot on plate glass: this was increased in 3819 to 60 per square foot; ten years later, in 1S29, duties became rernlnted according to the dimen sions of the glass, and ran from $1 50 per square foot on glass less than 9 feet square, through the figures $2 per square foot, and $2 35 per square foot up to ?2 75 per square loot on class exceeding 38 feet square. Under this fostering policy capital was multiplied, production increased and processes improved, so that in 1S15 duties were reduced to 25c per square foot lor tho smallest siz. 50c for the next, CHJc for the next and 75c per squ.ue foot for tno largest. And these rate- again were changed in the interest of English home production in 1S47 to 12'jc lor the smallest size to .c ami up m 37'ic per square foot. And again in JS1S change- wrre msde to rc per square foot tor the smallest size, 12Ke,-J5c mid ISc for the various other sizes respectively, and theso rates continued until 1SJ6, when, the indus try firmly established, plate glass was put upon the free list, lint this, you will ob serve, was ten years after the passage by Parliament of the anti-corn laws, and ton car- nfterthe inauguration liv England of her new policy ot a tariff levied for revenue, irrespective of any care for manufactures. It is worthy of note in this connection that the duties upon plate glass with ns nre the -ame tonlay as they were in 1S60. with a single comparativel v immaterial exception. Theso duties are 5. S, 25 and 50 cents per -qtiaro foot respectively, according to the sizeot tne manmactnre. rne.eir Aioany pl.int was tho forerunner of a goodly num ber which now add their products to the world's supply, and the influence of whose competition has extended in many ways to the enhancement of onrprosperity, material anil moral. We mav now boast of fully equipped plants at New Albany, Kokomo and Ellwood, Ind.; atSt. IOni, Mo.; at But ler, Duqnesnc, Charlerol. Irwin. Creighton, Tarentum and Ford City, Pa. The aggre gate capital employed is no' oss than $15, 000,000. The nominal capital rthe Pittbnrc Plate Glass Company is $2 750,009. while its actual investment wiil reach $4,503,000. The Growth of the Industry. Now mark the strides of this growing giant in its onward march. In 1370 the total production was 120,000 square feet; five years later it was 750,o;o -qiuire feet; five years later again it was 2,000,000 square feet; and in the decade betw een 1SS0 and 1390 it grew until in the latter year it reached the enor mous figures of 10,501,000 square feet. I am told that by April next the output of this company w 111 equal 800,030 square feet per month, "or at the rate of nearly 10,000,000 sqnare feet per annum. In great public buildings at ourXiitionnlCapital.atoilrSrate capitals, in onrgrent cities, whose growth mark tho milestones of our progress from end to end of this -continent-, in"tlio" Tirsn--slons of the rich, unv, even in the hmes of the Yoor, American ptalo glass bears witness to the marvelous develop ment of this industry. I have not the fig-uic- showing the present annual consump tion of plate glass in this country, but in l?SSit amounted to S COO 000 square feet, of which only about 3,000,000 were imported. With the increase in production and the de crease in price, consumption advances and importations diminish," so that wo have reason to believe that the home market and the home supply will, it they do not now, equal each other. Let us not forget the difficulties that were encountered and had to bo overcome. Skilled woikmen had to be imported from Europe: now 60 per cent of the workmen em plojcd arc-or American birth, while all or nearly all nre Americans by adoption, heal ing true allegiance to our institutions and to ourfl.ig. Foieign machinery had to be im ported. Xow we make our own machinery, mid Yankee ingenuity, brains and hands working in the bracing atmosphere of aland nf trpi.flnni lint e discovered new Trinrhnrla "and inx entedne wappliances, saving of labor and ot cose aim nauing toino quaiuy oi rue product. When the industry was started, I im told, the plates requlied handling six: fines', where now thcyrequire handling only tn Ice. Materials had to be imported: clay lor pots, so'la ash, felt, emery, rouge: now nil theso haA e been added to our home products " multiplication of the demand tor home I sbor. .in.- grave the significance of this story! II w fnll of interest its moailing! Think for a moment of the immense quantities of ma terial of the various kinds necessary to man ufacture our j early output of plate glass. and think of tho army of men thus provided witn tho means of livelihood for themselves and for tboe near and dear to them. Think of the capital Invested, of the wnges earned and paid. The value of finished plate glass like the value of everything that lias value, represents in largest part human labor, and the value of well paid labor in human hnp piaes is beyond compute. It is estimated that plate glass manufacture in this country lurnishes employment directly and indi rectly to 25 0U0 men, and these and their de pendents will aggregate in numbers 125,000. Ifencfit to Producer and Consumer. And let it be remembered that American workmen are paid irom 53 to more than 100 per cent more wages for the same work than their less fortunate fellows across the seas. I have here a statement In detail giving the figures to bc-ir out this assertion. In tho casting department, the grinding depart ment, the smoothing department, the pol ishing department, the cutting room, and elscw Here, the storv is the same as to all. Ten vears ago the American consumer paid for liis plate glass J2 50 per square foot. The establishment of it- manufacture as a home industry has reduced its price to an average of less than 80 cents per square foot. Ten years ago its use was a luxury to be in dulged in only by the rich; to-day its use is an economy which deserves the attention cyen of tne poor. As demand increases com petition increases, prices decrease, and the consumer becomes the beneficiary. The monument was formally unveiled by George 1'oss Ford, grandson of the Captain. Oilier addres-es were delivered by judge Xeal, of Kittanuiiig, Joseph Buffingion, Esq., and Calvin ltcyburn. 1'ev. "W. "W. Hall delivered the prayer, and there was music by several brass bands, singing socie ties and'school children. Captain Ford was called to the front at the close, but the old gentleman tersely remarked to bisthousands of workmen friends that he was a workman in plate glass, not a speaker. The cannon on the hillside boomed at intervals the rest of the day, and sun set upon one community, at " least, where capital and labor lie down together in peace. The W. C T. U. Join Hands. The ladies of the "W. C T. U. follow ing the example of their Alliance sisters, are sending dipsomaniacs to Dr. Franklin. These patients are cared for with money ob tained by subscriptions, and are treated without .profit by the doctor, who has de voted his time and means to secure an an tidote for alcohol which differs from the bi chloride treatment. Flattering results hare been obtained, and the women are convinced that the cure is permanent. George Dark Sent lo Jail. Coroner McDowell yesterday commenced an inquest on the remains of Mrs. George Dark, who died Friday night on the South side. The evidence showed she died-from peritonitas, caused by having been beaten. The husband was remanded to jail and an autopsy ordered. ONLY BUBBLE BANKS. First-Class Financial House of Berlin Not in the Scandal. BUT THEIR CREDIT IS IMPAIRED. The Emperor Is Eonndly Denounced bj the Press of Bavaria. NO TKICHINiE IN THE INSPECTED PORK tCOPTBIOHT. 1891, BT TOE SKWTOBK ASSOCIATED PRESS. Berlin, Not. 14. Despite the excited articles in the newspapers, no financial crisis exists here, and notwithstanding the failures of the private bankers, Hirschfeld & "Wolff, Friedlander & Sommerfeld, and the house of which Herr Maas was the head and the trouble threatening other houses of the same character, the position of the large banks and the greater financial firms remains solid, and public confidence in the general situation is unshaken. The run of depositors on the private banks continued steadily during the past .week, and has been accelerated since the surrender of Herr Maas, but the money de posits and securities of all kinds which have been withdrawn from the smaller con cerns have been deposited with the larger financial institutions. The Bourse doubtless experienced a severe shaking up, not through losses aris ing irom the failures, for the firms men tioned had no large engagements with bankers or operators on the Exchange, but mainly through the revelation of The Flash Nature of a Prosperity which was supposed to be permanent and genuine. Ip each case the collapse aflected depositors dealing with second or third rate bankers paying a high rate of interest on their deposits. Under the prevailing system private banks take on deposit shares without guar anteeing to return the identical stock, but merely an eaual value of the same stock. The system has been repeatedly denounced as tending to encourage fraud, and the pub lic lias been warned again and again against intrusting deposits to men able to use them in their personal speculations. The present developments cause no surprise among lead ers in high financial circles, who have long expected that the bubble houses would burst. Xaturally, though there is no panic, com mercial depression is co-existent with the decline of values on the Bourse. The period of general inflation, which reached a climax last year, has been succeeded by n persistent reaction downward. Since this reaction set in shares of banks of the high est repute have gone down to from 54 to 83 per cent. These striking figures carry their own comments. The sum of the matter is that the business community, though await ing brighter times, feels assured that the basis of the business banks and of the bank ers is strong and safe. Moss Also Lived Like a Prince. Herr Mass, the self-confessed embezzler, lived with the ostentatious extravagance displayed by Herr Wolff. He had two houses, one at Ciiarlottenburg and a splen did residence at Swinemunde. He enter tained extensively, and his grand wine parties and banquets were the subject of much comment. As usual in coses of this kind, the cry is raised bv certain journals that the Govern ment ought to intervene as a special provi dence for investors. The Garmania demands that the Government shall assume the supervision and regulations of dealings on the Bourse. The Kratiz Zeitimg declares that half the banks in Berlin are rotten, and .urges the Government td institute an in quiry into their condition. The Emperor Is Severely Criticised. The Municipal Council of Munich have questioned the Burgomaster of the city as to the truth of the report that Emperor "William, on his recent visit to Munich, in scribed his name in the Golden Book of the citv, adding the words "Supreme lex regis voluntns." The statement was admitted to be true by the Burgomaster. The Bavarian press protests strongly against the assump tion by His Majesty of prerogatives never conceded to a Bavarian sovereign, and the organs of the Freisinnige party profess to find in the incident an illustration of the despotic ideas of the Emperor, which con tact with Parliament must correct, Vrlnce Bismarck and tho Reichstag. The Reichstag will resume its sittings Tuesday. It is not yet known when "Prince Bismarck will appear in the House. His health requires careful attention and he will undertake a Parliamentary campaign only when assured of his ability to do so by his physician. As soon as the business of the session shall have been opened the Socialists will call up the matter of the imprisonment of Deputy Schmidt by the Chemnitz tribunal. The claim will be made that the action of the tribunal constitutes a violation of the law insuring to members of the Beichstag im munity from (arrest during the sessions of that body. That Case of American Trichlnfc An official inquiry into the report that American pork infested with trichina; had been imported into Dnsseldorf, brings out the fact-that the diseased pork did not bear the stamp of American inspection. Con sequently, there will be no interference with the'admission of American pork, the healthy condition of which has been certi fied to. The "War Department has concluded its experiments with American corn, and has decided to recommend the use by the army of bread made of equal proportions of corn and rye. It is belseved that the Depart mentof the Interior will follow this ex ample. Hon. "William Walter Phelps, the American Minister here, anticipates that in consequence of this decision the German markets will be thrown open for the admis sion of- many millions of bushels of Ameri can grain. INVESTIGATING THE BIViBA, To Ascertain Kit Keally Has a Beneficial Hflect on Health. ' tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH!. J . London, Xov. 14. Dr. Edmund Charles "Wcndt is in London, en route to the Kiveria on a mission that may prove to be of great importance to the civilized world. Dr. "Wendt ;s commissioned by a New York medical journal to investigate the sanitary and climatic conditions of all the principal cities of Southern France and the Italian Itiveria as well as ot Florence, Naples and Rome, to ascertain whether these condi tions are as beneficial to patients whom physicians from all parts of the world send thither as has always been imagined. Dr. "Wendt says that many physicians feel, upon returning from a winter an these sunny southern cities, that thev have not been benefited, and it is with a view to set tle the question as to the actual conditions that the New York journal sends him over here. His investigations will occupy the entire winter. FKANCE TO HAVE A COAL STRIKE. Operators Refuse to Concede Fewer Hoars or Increasea Wages. Arras, Trance, Nov. 14. There is con siderable excitement throughout this de partment in consequence of the action taken iast evenipg by the owners of the coal mines. Much dissatisfaction has existed among the miners for some time regarding their hours of labor and their wages. The men re cently formulated a series of demands and gave the mine owners until November 15 to consider theirgrievances and decide whether they would concede their demands. Last night a joint meeting of the mine owners was held, and it was decided that no 'concessions would be made to their employes. "When this decision was made known to the men there was intense excitement among them. The attempt to enforce their de mands by a strike will begin Monday. AN HONOR NEVER SOUGHT. TOO EXPKNSTVE AN OFFICE FOB FOOB MEN TO Fn.Ii. Why It Is Hard to Find Candidates for High Sheriff" In England No Money In It, mat a Great Seal Needed to Bun the Office. BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCIT.1 London, Nov. 14. The ancient cere mony of nominating high sheriffs of coun ties for the ensuing year took place Thurs day at the Royal Courts of Justice, and the public enjoyed the rare privilege of seeing the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his offi cial costume. Mr. Goschen, by virtue of his high office, presided, sitting in the Lord Chief Justice's chair, and "very funnv he looked, clad in an elaborate robe of rich moire silk, which a dowager dnchess micht have envied, the front and sides of which were nearly covered with thick gold lace and embroidery. Six robed and hewigged Jndges and four Cabinet Ministers occupied lower seats, and the sight seemed to give Mr. G schen much satisfaction. He looked quite cheerful throughout the proceedings, and for the moment had evidently ceased to brood over the sacrifices he had made for his beloved country. r The office of High Sheriff is a very digni fied one, but fearfully expensive. No sal ary attaches to it, and ihe holder has to spend much money to maintain his dignity. Everybody seeks to avoid it, and the Crown has to use gentle compulsion to fill it in each 'county. The court over which the Chancellor of the Exchequer presides is charged with the duty of selecting three names from the magistracy list of every county for submission to the Qneen, who," afterward, sitting in council, solemnly pricks the first name in each trio, thus ap pointing the unhappy man to the office of High Sheriff, which he is bound to accept or pay a fine of 500 in default. Lots of magistrates sent "excuses Thurs day, mostly pleading ill health or poverty. One asked "to be exempted because he was "the youngest son of a younger son and of small means"; another because he was de pendent upon a small income from his wife's property, had 11 children whom he sent to the cheapest school in the county, and fre quently had to borrow money from his hanker, and so on. THE030PHISTS IN TEOUBLE. A Funny Quarrel Threatens to Sadly Split Their Itankx. BT CABLE TO TOE DISPATCH.'; London, Nov. 14. A funny quarrel threatens to split the theosophical ranks in London. It had a small beginning and seems likely to grow. Some months ago Miss Henrietta Mnller, B. A., one of the leaders of the woman's suffrage party, and editress ot a woman's rights journal, de termined to throw in her lot with the late Madame Blavatsky's community at St. John's "Wood. She is n very rich woman and an uncommonly good speaker. Unfortu nately, however, her very advanced opin ions on the woman's question did not re ceive the entire approval of the society, and as she presisted in advancing them as or thodox, a quarrel seemed imminent At this time Mrs. Besant was trying to find a sitnation for Mrs. Thornton Smith, a ladv nho had worked with her on tlie National Reformer. Miss Muller offered Mrs. Smith the position of sub-editor on the Woman' Hera'd, of which she intended her to take full charge whilst she was in India with Mrs. Besant, but sad to say, Mrs. Smith did not stick close to work", and even ventured to "cheek" Miss Muller, for which she was dismissed at a moment's notice. Mrs. Besant ias so annoved at this sharp treatment of her. friend and protege, tbat- she refused to sail to India in the same steamer with Miss Muller, who therefore is how going alone. The female theosophists have taken sides, and the men are certain to be " drawn into the quarrel. One of Mrs. Besant's opponents said to-day: "Miss Muller is one of the prettiest little women imaginable, with a soft, sweet face which makes people swear by hev, and curly gray hair. ..Mrs. Thornton Smith, on the" other hand, is a loud-voiced, coarsely-modeled woman, who talks slsng and drinks beer." ONE WAY TO WIN AT POKES. Denlihg From tho Middle or the Deck Al lowed in Encllsh Law. SPECIAL CABLE TO TOE DISPATCH. LONDON, Nov. 14. The Tinxes' dis patches from Rangoon, abont the court martial of Lieutenant Lowry for cheating at poker, indicate that a deplorable degree of ignorance exists in India concerning the principles of the game that has risen to uni versal popularity wherever man has been elevated above the savage. Dr. "Wilson, who made the charges aeainst Lowry, deposed that the Lieutenant dealt the cards from the middle of the pack, and another player swore that the ace of diamonds, which he had distinct ly seen at the bottom of the pack durin the deal, mysteriously appeared with the other three aces when Lowry showed down his hand. According to the Times' dispatches Lowry's lawyer admitted these facts to be true, "and based his defense on the ground that that was a justifiable way .to play poker. Lowry was acquitted, too, though whether on these grounds or not the dis patches do hot state. THE QUEEN WON'T ATTEND THEATEBS. Instead, However, Sho "Will Hear Macag ni's Opera at Windsor Castle. -BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.! London, Nov. 14. Queen Victoria has abandoned the idea of going to theaters this season, but by way of compensating some peopie for the disappointment thus caused, she has arranged for a performance at "Wind sor Castle, on the 2fith instant, by Signor Lango's Company of Mascagni's opera, "Cavalleria Eusticana." The Queen comes South from Balmoral next Friday, and it is probable that early in spring she will spend some time near Men tone, m the Riviera, She is determined, apparently, to do as little as possible to help the London tradesmen, so the Liberal newspapers say. A Had Railroad Wreck in Italy. Rome, Nov. 14. A fatal accident is re ported to have occurred to-day on a railroad between this city and Turin. A fast train collided with an ordinary passenger train at Galcra station. The trains crashed together with terrific violence. Three persons were killed and seven were injured. Among the wounded are five persons whose injuries are probably mortal. The accident was due to the fact "that the signals for running the trains was disregarded. D Brazzn, the Explorer, Killed." London, Nov. 14. A report reached here this morning that the great explorer, De Brazza, who recently left secretly for Africa, at the head of "a new expedition, had been killed. It is known that M. De Brazza left some time ago with a force of men intending to "push on as for as Lake Tehad. The region which he was bent on exploring is inhabited by Mussulman Arabs who are fanatical foes of civilization. Fog and Snow in Germany. Berlin, Nov. 14. Berlin has been en veloped in a dense fog. Many accidents oc curred in the streets and on the river. Three railway men lost their lives. There was a heavy iall of snow at Konigsberg yester-, day which tnterrupted the telephone ser vice. x Portucal Strongly for Protection. Lisbon, Nov. 14.

Proof That the Lincoln Assassination Was Long" Meditated. EANKIN, TIIE ACTOR, HAS SOME BELICS Montreal, Nov. 14. Antiquarian "W. "W. Snaith has obtained conclusive evidence that trunks found on the schooner Marc Victoria, which was wrecked at Bic in the Autumn of 1804, were the property of J. "Wilkes Booth, the assassin ot President Lincoln. During that autumn several trunks marked "J. W. B., Few Provi dence, "-were shipped onboard the schooner Marc Victoria at Quebec. How they reached Quebec, or by whom they were shipped, or where the vessel was bound for, or on what mission, is enveloped in mystery, but the Mare Victoria sailed from the port of Quebec without going through the usual formalities of clearing at the Custom House.forher name does not ap pear amongthe shipping records at that prot, thereby giving good grounds for the sus picion that the service she was engaged in demanded secrecy. Intended to Rnn the Blockade. After events gave proof of this, and led to the belief that she intended o rnn the blockade of the South or make for the Ba hamas, but this schooner was wrecked at Bic about ISO miles below Quebec From these precautions, it appears that Booth, in anticipation of the murder of Lincoln, had secretly sent his theatrical wardrobe through Canada and had it shipped from a Canadian port in expectation of find ing it in one of the Southern States when he had succeeded in the object which he had in view, and that the conspiracy to assassinate President Lincoln was calculated months before During the following summer (18G5) there appeared in the Quebec Mondnq Chronicle, of July 17, an advertisement stating that on the following day fliere would be sold at auction various effects landed from the schooner Marc Victoria, consisting of dry goods, theatrical costumes, swords and vari ous other articles. Itankin, tho Actor, UTado Purchases. Snaith was engaged in business in Quebec at the time, and having a penchant for the collection of relics and other enrios, at tended the sale and purchased part of the wardrobe. George Rankin also purchased a variety of tilings from the stock of articles offered for sale, it was thought at the time for his brother, McKee Rankin, the actor. The following notice of sale appeared in the Chronicle of July 19, 18G5: The theatrical wandrobe of the Inte John Wilkes Booth, recovered about a montli ngo from the wreck of the schooner Marc Victor ia at Bic last autumn, was disposed of bv do creo of the Vic Admiralty Court by public auction yesterday afternoon. Amongst tho wardrobe which, unfortunately, has been Injuied by salt water, theiewa'sa splendid collection of theatrical clothes in line silk velvets, silks, satin-, ermine and crimson, and also hats, caps, plumes, boots, shoes, etc. In swords and pistols there was a case or ti unk packed with a large variety, and there were some very beautifully mounted ones among them. Competition on the whole was very spiritod and boveral arti cles wore sold at High prices. The amount realized for the wardrode in its damaged state was about $."00. The ortelnal cost can not have been less than $15,000. NINETEEN CRIMINALS IN ONE HAUL. An Organized Gang Operating In Many Cities Finally Broken Up. Chicago. Nov. 14. Nineteen men were arrested to-night, all but six in Farmer's saloon, corner Clinton and Madison street. Considerable stolen property was recovered by the police to-night. The others were caught in a house near by whence thev had escaped when the raid began. For several months the police have been given information of depredations committed in various parts of the city, which included almost every form of theft, from simple pocket picking to housebreaking and safe blowing. Dispatches were also received from many of the surrounding large cities of similar occurrences, and indications pointed to the existence of an organized band with this city as headquarters. Captain Mahoney detailed Detectives "Welbasky and "Wessler to work on the case, and to-night their efforts resulted in the capture of the gang and the securing of positive evidence of their guilt. Two of the men arrested are wanted for breaking the St. Louis jail, and the others for larceny, burglary and robbery. The burglaries with which the men are connected aggregate thousands of dollars. They have operated not only here, but in Peoria, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and various ether places. DIPHTHERIA IN PHILADELPHIA. Fhyslcians Fear tho Disease Is Threaten ing to Become Epidemic. Philadelphia, Nov. 14. Special A diphtheria epidemic is feared among the medical profession owing to the prevalence of the disease in all parts of the city, in some portions of which it is even now al most epidemic and spreading rapidly. The disease is most noticeable and in its worst form in the northeastern part of the citv, though also alarmingly bad in the recently built up portion of the northwestern dis tricts, where, owing to the altitude and freedom from all contaminating influences, theanitary conditions are generally con ceded to be of the best. The disease first became noticeable dur ing the changeable weather of September, when, for the month, there were reported to the officers of the Board of Health about 200 cases, with a mortality of abont 23 per cent. During October there was a marked increase, both in the spread of the disease and the death rate, which reached the alarming proportions oi 482 cases and 158 deaths. Nine Cruisers Ordered to Chile.
