A Contestant for a Museum Prize,TYlio
"Was Anxious to Beat Sued,

Ee Toured Domi Champagne When He Could
So More Drink Water.
AX EFFORT MADE TO PLACE TIIE BLAME
fFPKCIAI. TJXXGEAX TO THE DIPATCIT.T
New Tof.k, Xov. 19. G. Henry Strat
ton, the faster, died in .Bellevue Hospital
about 4:30 o'clock this morning. He was
one of half a'dozeu fosters with records who
tet out on October 5 to fast 50 days at Hu
ber's Museum. The others were: Collins,
weight. 1J pounds; Sanabrah, 138;
Rirby, 163'; Manning, 146, and Klen,sch,
143'. Stratton weighed 270J pounds.
The announced terms on which the fast
was conducted were that the participants
were each to get a salary of 520 the first
week and 535 the Eecond. After the first
fortnight each was to get 10 per cent of the
gate receipts, the remainder to go to the
one who fasted the longest, even if the 50
days" fast was not accomplished. Sanabrah
and Manning gave out at the end of six
days. Kirbv lated 13 days and Krensch a
fortnight. Collins lasted 20 days.
All drank alkaline waten of some sort
except Klersch, who drank Croton. Strat
ton drank Bethesda water. "When Collins
dropped out Stratton directed that what
ever he made .out of the fast should be given
to his mother, Mrs. James Xeclere, of
Brooklyn, who is 80 years old. Stratton is
said to have taken nothing but water'nntil
last week, Thursday, when the action.of his
heart became so weak and vomited so ex
haustinglythatDr. Herald prescribed cham
pagne, at the rate of three teaspoonfuls a
day.
End of the Fast Not Conceded. A
This virtually ended the fast, as the condi
tions were that only water should be taken.
Stratton, however, while he continued to
take champagne in evidently far more lib
eral doses than were prescribed, insisted
that the fast was still on, and that it would
not be ended until he took something solid.
In spite of the champagne, Stratton was in
so bad case last Mondav, 41 days from the
beginning of the fast, that the doctors in
sisted on his taking nourishment in the
form of food.
It is alleged that Stratton stuffed his
handkerchief into his mouth when they tried
to make him eat, saying he would not take
anything solid until the 50 days had ex
pired, as he wanted to beat Succi's record.
They persuaded mm to take some cocoa,
however, but in spite of the nourishment
thus obtained he continued to fail so rapid
ly that the doctors had him taken to Belle
vue Hospital.
He was at first put in one of the medical
wards, it being supposed he was suffering
trom debility due to his long fast, but he
speedily showed so much strength, due ap
parently to drink, that he was removed to
the alcoholic ward. "When there he con
tinued to exhibit a sign that seemed incom
patible with the claim that he had eaten
nothing for 40 odd days, and he 4'd not be
come quiet until threatened with a straight
jacket The Beginning of the End.
He was then able to take nourishment in
a liquid form, but his stomach became in
capable of retaining it, and he grew very
weak. "Wednesday he passed in a sort of
semi-stupor, and toward evening he sank
rapidly in spite of the peptonized food
which was administered in enemas. His
pulse reached 140 before it stopped.
Stratton lost 53 pounds in the course of
his fast. An autopsy made by Deputy Cor
oner Donlin showed that the immediate
cause of death was alcoholic coma, due to
cerebral congestion, while a secondary cause
was fatty defeneration of the heart. There
were 2J inches of fat on the body. As,
however, there was no food in the stomach,
except that administered at the hospital,
Dr. Donlin thought the fast might have
been a real one, and that the system had ab
sorbed the muscular tissue in place of the
iat
As to the alcoholism, it is acknowledge d
that Stratton drank two quart bottles of
champagne in the four davs folldwing
Thursday, and it is also alleged that he got
alcohol in a stronger form from at attendant
at the museum.
An Effort to Place the Blame.
At the inquest, which will be held Tues
day, Coroner Hanly will endeavor to dis
cover who was responsible for Stratton's
death, and whether those who aided and
abetted him are criminally liable. The
dead man will be buried by his brother, W.
A. Stratton, of Brooklyn. He was born in
Brooklyn in 185L He'once fasted 30 days
at a public exhibition in Buffalo.
Huber does not consider himself responsi
ble ior Stratton's death, as he says the fast
ing match was not initiated by him, J. M.
Cousart, said to be of Pittsburg, being-the
originator and manacer. There is S"00
which w ill be paid to Mrs. Leclere.
THE SWIFT SHENANDOAH.
America Ahead In the Building of Swift and
Largo Sailing Ships.
Xew York, Sov. 19. The Maine ship
building men have scored a victory in the
triumph of the gigantic ship Shenandoah,
which has just completed a race from San
Francisco to Havre, Prance. At that port
a cable dispatch announces she arrived to
day. On August 1 four sailing vessels left
San Francisco for Europe, and it was un
derstood at the time that there would be a
lively race.
The ships encaged in the race were the
Shenandoah, the British ship Strathearn,
the S. D. Carleton, of Bockport, Me., and
the British ship Balkomoh. The destina
tion of the four racers was Havre. JSone
of the other vessels in the race has yet ar
rived. The Shenandoah carried 5.000 tons
of wheat, the largest cargo ever earned in
one vessel.
State Border Baid Commission's Work.
Hakkisbukg, Xov. 19. Special The
State Border Baid Commission will meet in
"Washincton next week to arrange for the
passage of a bill through Congress appro
priating $3,500,000 for the reimbursement of
citizens of the border counties of Pennsvl
vania for property destroyed during the
war. Representative Stainner, of Fulton,
is already in "Washington, and will ie
joined to-morrow by Secretary B. M. Xead,
of Harrisburg, and Thad. M. Mahon, of
Chambersburg. Governor Pattison and
other members of the commission will go to
"Washington next week. An endeavor will
be made to secure action early in the
session.
Wants 8100,000 for Malicious Prosecution.
Chicago, Nov. 19. Early in September
last the three members of the Board of
County Commissioners of Keno county,
Kan., jointly swore out a warrant against
E. E. "Wise and H. A Christy, of Chicago,
charging them with having embezzled 5250,
000 of the funds of the" Hutchinson and
Southern Itailroad Company in that county.
Mr. "Wise was arrested on the charge, he be
ing in Beno county at that time, and after a
full hearing he was discharged. Mr. Christy
was never arrested. Mr. "Wise has now com
menced a suit for malicious prosecution
against the County Commissioners for 5100,
000 in the United States Circuit Court
Branch Offices at the Postoffice.
By the first of next month both the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph Companies
will have branch offices in the new Post
office building. The Western Union will
have its office at the stairwav leading to the
second floor on the Fourth avenue side.
The Postal will be situated in the same
place on the Third avenue side.
LABOR AND EEL1G10K.
The Ministers Will Be Asked to Assist the
, Knight of Labor.
The Officials and delegates from the Pitts
burg district to the Knights of Labor Gen
eral Assembly at Toledo, on their return to
the city yesterday morning, spoke with en
thusiastic unanimity of the proceedings of
the session, and all seem to believe their
organization will be permanently benefited
by the course pursued. The principal feat
ure, to the Pittsburg contingent, was the
Xew York idea of educating the members
of the order. It is said that all the minis
ters of the two cities will be invited to as
sist in a practical application of the plan
by addressing the various assemblies. The
more intelligent members of the order will
also lend a hHnd in the work in educating
the membership to the principles of the or
garization. District Master "Workman Dempsey, of
D. A. 3, says the educational plan was
warmly received by all the delegates. He
says:
'"There is no doubt of the popularity of
the idea or of its successful introduction
throughout the order. It is praised highly
on all sides. The invitation of the minis
ters of all denominations to assist us was
proposed bv the local officials. They will
be requested to discuss live topics, and our
meetings will increase in interest and at
tendance if the ministers accept the bid.
Out in Toledo the plan was found to be
working with remarkable success. They
have" a Iadir s' assembly of bright women
who have been well tutored. A number of
the delegates attended one of the educa
tional meetings of this assembly and were
invited to talk. The invitation was ac
cepted, but the boys were very sorry for it.
The demure-looking ladies of that assembly
drew them out in discussion until they
were completely swamped and confused.
Afterward it was learned that these women
were well informed on all the economic
questions, and could discuss them like an
assemblage of Philadelphia lawyers.
Speaking of Powderly'a vindication Mr.
Dempsey said it was unanimous and com
plete, there not being a single vote against
the resolution. "Mr. Powderlv stated his
case, read his defense and submitted his
proofs, in such a clear, convincing
manner that nothing else could be done.
He showed the falsity of Mr. Fred Turner's
accusations, but did not acense him of dis
honesty. Incompetency was the only thing
alleged against Turner. A whole day was
spent in reading correspondence on this
matter. Mr. Powderly's action as a candi
date for delegate to the Constitutional Con
vention was also explained and shown to be
an effort in the order's behalf, to the satis
faction of all."
President John Costello, of the Miners'
District Assembly; Master "Workman "Wise,
of the cokeworkers, and Master "Workman
"White, of the Clearfield district, were in the
city yesterday en route home from the con
vention, and all seemed satisfied with the
proceedings.
THE HOLT CABE STILL ON.
One of the Witnesses Charged With Being
Untruthful.
In the "United States Circuit Court yes
terday the suit of the insurance companies
against D. "W. Holt, lumber merchant, was
continued. In the forenoon a number of
witnesses for the defense were called. H.
C. "Williams, the bookkeeper for the de
fendant, testified that a lot of the lumber
burned was bought by the firm and brought
there from other places. John M. .Holt, a
brother of the defendant, testified that Car
penter, who made the confession, had a bad
reputation as to truth and veracity. He
did not believe a word of the confession.
A B. Heard, postmaster of Phillipsbnrg,
and a number of others testified as to Car
penter's bad reputation as to veracity.
A J. Graham denied the statements of
Carpenter as to incidents he was connected
with. The prosecution recalled Carpenter,
who repeated his testimony as to the meet
ing at the Mountain House, at Snow Shoe,
Pa., when Holt wanted him to sign an
affidavit that bis statements about the fire
were untrue. This closed the testimonv.
Attorney Fortney then addressed the
jury in behalf of the plaintiffs. He was
followed by Attorney Eeeder for the de
fense. The case will "likely goto the jury
to-dav.
SITUATION AT SHABPSBTJEO.
Many Amalgamated Men Want to
Take
Their Old Jobs.
It was rumored yesterday that the strikers
at Moorhead Bro. & Co.s Sharpsburg
mill had conferred with President "Weihe,
of the Amalgamated Association, with a
view to having the strike declared off. The
report could not be verified at the Amalga
mated headquarters. President Weihe de
nies it
John Moorhead has said that old. em
ployes will be allowed to return to work
when vacancies occur, there bSingnowa
few positions open. A number of the men
are known to be desirous of taking them,
though backward about taking such a step
without the sanction of the organization.
"Whether they will be bold enough to ask
for such permission is considered doubtful.
Most of the strikers are now engaged in
other pursuits.
A Mill Belayed by a Freight Wreck.
The Oliver & Boberts' rod mill on South
Ninth street was shut down yesterday
morning. The firm states that a scarcity of
steel billets, caused by a Panhandle wreck,
was the cause and that the mill will start
up again to-day .or to-morrow. It is said
the reduction in wages at thiB firm's wire
mill will be accepted by the employes.
Industrial Notes.
The striking printers and pressmen to the
number of 175 received their weekly pay
yesterdnv at the rate of $5 per week for sin
gle and $7 for married men.
Master Woekjiah Dempsey says the Gen
eral E. of L. Assembly meeting at Toledo
had the effect of adding 150 now members to
the roll of one lodce there.
Dceiso the recent cold snap natural gas
was so short that at a number of mills
where they have not yet adopted coal the
greater part of the work was done at night
when tho gas supply was stronger. The
shortage of gas, it is said, will cause the re
sumption of coal at several mills in a short
time.
Stole His Tickets.
Pullman Conductor Tweedic is sore over
the loss of a bunch of tickets which some
one stole yesterday on the trip from Cin
cinnati. There was 32 worth of tickets and
55 50 in the bundle. Mr. Tweedic had to
make good to the Pullman people, and con
sequently isanxious to get back the punched
pasteboards.
Look out for
counterfeits, imi
tations, and sub
stitutes, repre
sented as genuine,
but sold at less
than regular
prices by dealers
in medicines not
i authorized to sell
lr. Pierce's genu-
To guard against fraud and. imposition,
the makers of Dr. Pierce's genuine medicines
now sell their -world-famed remedies only
through druggists, authorized as agents, and
under a positive guarantee of benefit or
cure, or money refunded. Authorized agents
only can, under these regulations, furnish
Dr. Pierce's genuine medicines, which always
have been, are, and always -will be, sold at
the following prices :
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery (the
remedy for all diseases arising from impure
blood), L00 per bottle. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription (the remedy for woman's chronic
weaknesses and derangements). $1.00 per bot
tle. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets (the origi
nal little Liver Pills), 25 cents per vial.
But they're the cheapest medicines sold,
because you pay only for the good you get.

Had Bis Commission Taken.
Chief Brown, of the Department of Pub
lic Safety, has , taken .the commission of
Mike Malone, a special police officer. It is
alleged that some time ago there was a fight
on Market street, and Malone 'happened
along, but refused to arrest the men. His
case was then reported to Chief Brown. Ma
lone was acting in the capacity of a watch
man, and claims he has no right to make
ordinary arrests. He will test the case.
