Still Bemains Unshaken.

IHE RACE OF THE CLEARING HOUSES
fS rECIAL TELXORAV TO THE DISrATCH.l
Xew York, Kov. 20. Telegrams to
Uradstreel's report that colder and
in some instances wintry 'weather, has
stimulated sales of heavy clothing, woolens,
underwear, hosiery and boots and shoes,
though thus far principally at retail. Ko
one of the larger Eastern cities has exper
ienced any material increase in the volume
of distributive trade.
It is not until one reaches Chicago that a
distinct s ain is founded on the increased
bank clearings there over the like week a
year apo, amounting to "! per cent. Bank
clearings, as wired to i?raisfrx's,are from 66
cities this week. The total, $1,253,034,758,
from 57 cities in the United States is 12.2 per
cent less than in the like week of 1890. The
decline is largely due to the decrease at
Xew York City, Philadelphia and Boston.
Out of tX) cities reported, 28 show decreases.
Trade Quiet in the East and South.
General trade has been relatively quiet at
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincin
nati, Pittsburg, Memphis, St. Louis and
St. Joseph. Kansas City announces rather
more atth ity. At the South the volume of
trade is smaller than anticipated, and low
prices for cotton check mercantile col
lection's, lleceipts ot cotton, sugar and rice
are exceptionally tree. The exceptionas to
r Elections being slow at the South is in
Texas.
Tobacco is more active, and rubber and
nflee are excited and higher in leading
Eastern markets, owing to Brazilian po
litical complications. Leather and hides
are dull.
St. Louis and Cincinnati report pig iron
having an advancing tendency, but these
are exceptions to the rule. Sales of iron
and steel at Pittsburg within ft week
amount to about 35,000 tons each rather
better than the recent average. Several
large iron orders are booked for 1892 de
liverv, and makers of pig are less anxious
lo sell.
Sales of railwav shares are fewer, being
1,131,000, against 1,806,000 last week.
Business "failures in the United States
nmaber 303, against 268 last week and 245
this week last vear. The total from Jan
nary 1 to date "is 10,692, against 8,947 last
year.
Exports of Wheat and Bye.
Exports of wheat are increasing rapidly
again, aggregating, both coasts, for the
week ending "Xovember 19, 5,3S3,691 bush
els, including flour as wheat, from the
I'uited States, and 5,568,445 bushels from
the United States and Canada in the like
veek lat vear, and less in similar weeks in
lb89. 1SSS "and 18S7. This is, also, 1,000,000
buaheL, more than in the weekending 2fo-
ember 12, 1,700,000 more than in the pre--Hiiug
week, and 2,000,000 bushels more
than in the week before that. For21 weeks
the total exported is 87,383,000 bushels,
47.000.000 bushels more than in a like share
of 1SS0. 46.000,000 bushels more than in
1K89, 4.J.OO0.000 bushels more than in 1S88,
and 24,000,000 buthels more than in 21
weeks of 1SH7.
Exports of rye irom Atlantic ports more
than doubled during the week, amounting
to 423,030 bushels. Sales of wheat at 2few
York this wtek amounted to oalv 30,000,000
buhe!s against 63,512,000 bushels last week,
and prices ent oil 2c a bushel.
September net railway earnings are
among the mot favorable of the year, and
reflect a month'smmense grain movement
by large gains in earnings of the Granger
aiid South w estern roads. The trunk lines
i-now the onlv decrease, but it is less than 1
j.er cent. The Granger roads 6how net
gains of 24 per cent.
The rigures as to llail road Earnings.
Total net earnings of 122 roads for Sep
tember segregate 23,459,132, against 521,
416,762 las-t year, a gain of 9.5 per cent on a
pain in gri'ss of only 7.8 per cent Last
-ar September net earnings increased 4.2
ier cent oer September, 1889. For nine
months the net earnings aggregated 174,
760,565, against 5166,548,254 last year, a
pain ot 4.9 per cent on a gain in gross of 3.5
percent. This follows a gain of 7.1 per
-ent for nine months a year ago over 1889.
boHtlieni roads make the best showing,
while tne Eastern and Southwestern roads
showed deer, ae; from last year.
Share speculation at 2sew York continues
to be mainly professional on the financial
situ-bance on the Contincc!, and later on
fears regarding the condition of Richmond
Terminal exercised an unsettling influence.
Neerthelps, the market has shown greater
resisting power, and the Granger and trunk
hue shares advanced on large earnings, and
the fct that the close of navigation will
tend to increase traffic. The Coal shares,
also, have shown strength, the liquidation
id Delaware and Hudson having ceased.
Renewed ease in the money market causes
increased inquiry for railway bonds, which,
also, tends to support the general market.
Foreign exchange has advanced on a de
creased supply of commercial bills, and
f-lupnients of gold from Europe have been
verv small. About 5l,GOO,000 is, however,
till en route.
Drygood, Cotton and Wool.
Some slight gain in the total volume of
business in drygoods is reported East as a
result of cooler weather, but the result, on
the whole, is not up to expectations. Men's
wear woolens are dull. Print cloths are in
Jwtter demand, but not firmer. More work
is being done by Eastern mills as a result of
the improved water supply. Philadelphia
manufacturers of woolens are holding ship
ments till January 1. Wool is quiet, the
market is depending on the season for
lieavj -weight goods. Consumption is cur
tailed by lack of orders or'low water. Cot
ton is VgC off on large crop movement.
R. G. Pun ic Go. 's weeklv review will
ts.v Much has happened of late to depress
bminess and shake confidence, and yet con
fidence is not shaken and the volume of
buflnesi is still close to the greatest ever
attained. Prices are settling downward
w ith enormous production, but the fact that
t"ch production continues thows that the
low prices are not ruinous.
The Financial World Breathe Freely.
Alarm about the money market has
raised and no disturbance is apprehended
tins year. Industries tire, on the whole,
vWl employed, and it is especially note
worthy this "week that there is a better tone
in branches of trade which have been most
embarrassed.
At Pittsburg the iron trade is weaker,
p lss works are in operation and coal min
ers have resumed. At Cleveland trade in
leading branches is good and manufactured
iron is in active demand. At Cincinnati
geaeral business is actite but heavy, while
lumber failures cause tome uneasiness iu
that line.
The most stubborn iron market ever
known gives surprise to many, for in spite
of unprecedented production the prospect
of somf accumulation of stocks does not
disturb s.rong makers, who reckon that it
may be well Jor the country to- lay in and
hold iuucii largci stocks than heretofore, so
that Midden and violent fluctuations may
not be so readily produced. Large sales of
rails at the West are reported, but markets
for other finished products, are not materially
altered.

GOOD -WOES BY THE LEAGUE.
How the Situation in Kansas "Was Itc ersed
in a Tear.
Iskw Yobk, Nov. 20. The Executive
Committee of the Republican National
League concluded its meeting here to-day.
Referring to the work done by the League
in Kansas, Delegate E. C. Little said that
one year ago the Farmers Alliance swept
everything, carrying 90 out of 106 districts.
The Republican party was demoralized in
Kansas. This year the Republican State
Committee turned the work over to the
League, with the result that the situation
has been reversed.
The report of the States was completed.
Idaho and Utah submitted written applica
tions for membership in the League, and
were heartily welcomed. H. E. Tiepke
was elected a member of the Executive
Committee for Rhode Island, and J. B. Col
lin1!, of Miles City, Mont., was similarly
favored to represent that State. On motion
of a "Western delegate it was decided to have
one day in the year set apart for State con
ventions, and Secretary Humphreys was in
structed to ask the different States to hold
their conventions on February 12 Lincoln's
birthday. The sub-committee, to which the
question of the time and place of holding
the next League convention was referred,
will meet at "Washington, Tuesday next.
"When the meeting adjourned many mem
bers of the committee left at once for Wash
ington. THE P0TTEE DIV0ECE BTJM0B
Again In Circulation and Once More
DouMed by Nearly Everyone.
New YOP.K, Nov. 20. .SperiaZ. The
rnmor that James Brown Potter had quietly
obtained a divorce from Mrs. Cora TJrqu
hart Potter created comment to-day in so
ciety circles and among members of the
dramatic profession in this city. Friends
of both husband and wife united in declar
ing their disbelief in the truth of the rnmor,
and at the clerks' offices of the Court of
Common Please, Supreme and Superior
Courts, it was stated to-day that there is no
record of any such decree of divorce having
been granted.
Lawyer Franklin Bartlett,who has charge
of Mrs. Potter's legal affairs, says the
rumor has probably as little foundation as
several similar reports that have been made
public since Mrs. Potter's departure.
JESTED 0VEE HIS FATE.
A "Wife Murderer Asks for a Band to Play
at His Il.-.ncinc.
Abtxexe, Tex., Nov. 20. "William H.
Frizzle was hanged in the jail yard here at 2
o'clock this afternoon. Frizzle's crime was
the murder of his wife, which was com
mitted in Comanche county, Tex, last Jan
uary, where he was tried and convicted of
murder in the first degree.
For some time prior to .the execution
Frizzle had been utterly indifferent to his
fate. He seemed to think that he had dis
tinguished himself He expressed no re
gret for his crime, and jested with his
guards concerning his fate. His strange
request that the Abilene Cornet Band be
permitted to play at the hanging illustrates
how he regarded the execution and the
future.

GIVEIi- TO THE JUBY.
The Famous Holt Conspiracy Case Finished
Yesterday.
The case of certain insurance companies
against D. W. Holt, the Center county
lumber dealer, was finished yesterday, and
went to the jury at 4 o'clock. Court then
adjourned, and the verdict will be received
this morning.
In tne morning Judge Oivis addressed the
jury for the defense, arguing that it was
next to impossible for his client to be guilty
of the charges made against him durinz the
trial. He reviewed the history of the' case
in a very succinct manner, and had the
closest attention of the Court and jury
throughout the address. The counsel for
the plaintiffs closed the arguments at 2
o'clock
In his charge to the jury Judge Acheson
confined himself closely to the rules of evi
dence governing the determination of iacte.
He was careful not to express an opinion
on the case, saving it was entirely with the
jury to form its own conclusion from the
evidence. In regard to the testimony of
Carpenter, however, he said it was the duty
of the jury to determine first, if there was a
motive prompting the character ot the tes
timony, and second, whether the facts in
the case corroborated his testimony.
SENATOR QUAY EHTEES SUIT.
He Files an Action in Libel Against the
Plttsbnrp Post
The mueh-talked-of libel suit of Senator
M. S. Quay against the Pat was filed yes--terday
by his attorneys, Thomas M. Mar
shall, E. A. Montooth and John S. Robb.
It was filed in Common Pleas No. 1, and
the damages asked are $100,000.
The plaintiff, M. S. Quay, rehearses the
facts of the publication in the Post of an
editorial charging him with receiving part
of the money stolen by Bardsley, and gives
copies of the publications.
McMahon Guilty in the Second Degree.
Thomas McMahon, tried on Thursday be
fore Judge Ewing for the murder of Xavier
Steplein, was yesterday found guilty of
murder in the second degree. The jury had
remained out the entire night, and did not
reach a verdict until 10 o'clook yesterday
morning. There was some fear expressed
among McMahon's friends that he would be
convicted of murder iu the first degree, but
the fact that he was recommended to the
extreme mercy of the court is regarded as
indicating that the fight, if there was anv at
all in the jury room, was between second de
gree and manslaughter.
Sues the Dnqnesne Traction Company.
Frank Reese and Joseph Rohm entered a
suit yesterday against the Duquesne Trac
tion Companv. On August 7 last an acci

' A STE0NG CHICAGO KICK ,
Against Canadian Discrimination of Vessels
Fasslnc the "Wetland Canal.
Chicago, Nov. 20. A protest against
Canadian injustice has been forwarded to
the State Department at "Washington. Sec
retary Stone, of the ChicagoBoard of Trade,
has addressed the following letter to Secre
tary Blaine:
The Board of Directors of the Board of
Trade of the city of Chicago is advised, by a
communication from the organized vessel
owners of the great lakes, that gross injus
tice is done to the citizens of the United
States with respect to tonnage passing
through the Welland Canal, in clear viola
tion or Article 27 of the treaty between
Great Britain and the United States of
America, which treaty bears date of May 8,
1871, and is known as the treaty of Washing
ton. This discrimination is specially griev
ous to American citizens, in view of the
fact that the American canals connecting
the great lakes are enjoyed by tho Canadian
citizens on absolutely equal terms with the
citizens of this country. As the grain crops
of this country constttute, in a pre-eminent
sene, a factor in the national prosperity,
and as grain constitutes the major part of
American commerce passing through tho
Welland Canal, this injustice is in an em
phatic sense a burden upon American com
merce. This board cannot believe that the
United States Government will tolerato tho
Interpretation put on the treaty of
"Washington by the Government of the
Dominion of Canada, and considers the
approaching reciprocity conference a
most opportune occasion, and the atti
tude of the people of the United States
upon the great policy of reciprocity as un
folded and applied by the distinguished Sec
retary of State, a most fortunate one for the
presentation of the grievances of which I
have the honor to ask your attention. The
Board of Directors of the Board of Trade of
the city of Chicago would, therefore, re
spectfully request of the Honorable Secre
tary of State that, at the approaching con
ference between thi Government and that
of the Dominion of Canada, the citizens of
the United States and those of the Dominion
of Canada be placed upon terms of equality
with reference to commerce passing through
the Welland Canal.
A GIPSY CONFIDENCE GAME.
How a Widow Was Bobbed of Nearly All
Her Hard-Earned Savings.
Pabkebsbcbg, Nov. 20. Special. A
bright little child, whose real name was
never known, but who has for the last three
years been living with a Mrs. TJlrloh in this
city, has been stolen, and the incident fur
nishes a sequel to the events by which
three years ago she was left here. Mrs.
Ulrich, a widow who had accumulated
nearly 51,200, had lost about $800 in a soap
factory at Point Pleasant. A Gipsy fortune
teller came to this city about that time, and
learning of Mrs. TJlrich's circumstances, in
duced her to believe that she could get back
the lost money. The Gipsy claimed that
she must have S100 in gold in order to get
the $800, and Mrs. TJlrich was finally per
suaded to take the money out of the bank.
The wandering woman then left, stating
she would be back in three or four days,
and as a guarantee that she would return
the money the Gipsy left a little girl as
surety, whom she called her daughter. Of
course sne never returned, and alter giving
the money up as lost Mrs. TJlrich adopted
the little girl. For three years the girl has
been reared bv the old lady. On Wednes
day she sent the little one to the pump for

vented by Mrs. TJlrich not allowing her to

The Mustard Seed Silkworm Case.
Topeka, Kan.. Nov. 20. The Misses
Palmer and Moran, the young women who
conducted a thriving silk worm business
under the firm name of Palmer, Moran &
Co., were brought before Justice Ches
ney this morning for their preliminary
hearings. The State will try to
show that what Miss Palmer called the
sacred silk worms of India were nothing
more nor less than English mustard seed,
and that the money she obtained to live in
luxuriant style was secured under false pre
tenses. To all of these charges the Misses
Palmer and Moran have answered not
guilty.

Growth or Boston's Leading Advertising
Agency.
A recent issue of the Boston Globe con
tains an interesting account of the long
established advertising agency of Pettingill
& Co., of that city, tracing the growth of
the company from 1819 to the present time,
and giving copies of letters from some of
the largest general advertisers testifying to
the thorough business methods of Pettingill
& Co. The increasing connections of the
firm has necessitated larger offices, and,
much as they were attached to their old
quarters on State street, they were obliged
to secure a more commodious location,
which has been found at' 22 School street
These offices are described by the Globe as
magnificent, and the growth of Pettingill
& Co.'s business may be regarded as an ex
tremely practical illustration of the value
of advertising.

THE BOND ELECTION.
Mayor Gourley and the Controller
.Draw Up an Address to Voters.
OVEfi HALF A MILLION NEEDED
Chances of Escape Through the Curative
Act Are Outlined.
NO TIME TO EAISE THE FIEST PAYMENT
Mayor Gourley and Controller Morrow
vesterday issued an address to the voters of
Pittsburg on the proposed $2,000,000 bond
issue. In it they explain how the debt was
incurred for street improvements, and
could not be collected owing to the late de
mise of the street act of 1887. They set
forth that the curative act will, in all proba
bility, provide for the payment of the
bonds should they be issued, but as a de
cision cannot be had in time to raise the
$600,000 due in 1892 it will have to be
raised by a direct tax levy unless the bonds
are issued. The address is as follows:
GKisTLEMra Under the authority of the
Constitution and laws of the State, the Coun
cils of the city of Pittsburg have designated
Tuesday, December 8, for an election to de
cldo whether or not thore shall be an ad
ditional issue of tlio bonds of the city to tho
amount of $2,000,000 with which to pay an in
debtedness incurred in public improvements
authorized under tho acts of Assembly of
1SS7 and 1889, known as the "Street Laws."
By joint resolution of Councils, the under
signed were requested to issue a formal ad
dress to the qualified electors of the city,
presenting such information as it may be
possible to give upon the subject to be sub
mitted to your vote.
How the Xecessity Arose.
You are aware that very extensive im
provements were undertaken and largely
completed under the "Street Laws" to whlok
reference has been made. After very much
of the work had been done, and large sums
of money -paid by the owners of property
benefited in the various wards of the olty,
the Supreme Court of the State decided the
acts unconstitutional and void.
"The system," said the Court, "provided
by the said acts must fall as a whole. The
way will thus be clear for the enactment of
a street law for cities of the seoond class.
As nothing remains of the system provided
by the acts of 1887 and 1889, it is hardly
necessary to say that its authority cannot
survive for any purpose. All the prelimi
nary reports made Dy it fall, and no im
provements can be ordered under them. All
the assessments of damages and benefits
fall, and all the uncollected liens entered
upon these assessments go with the assess
ments; all the work done or to be done upon
these improvements, as the law now stands,
must be paid for by the city. All the dam
ages inflicted upon lot holders must be re
covered from the city."
Such in brief is the decision of the Supreme
Court. By it all the unpaid assessments,
aggregating $2,000,000, for the improvement
of streets and the construction of sewers
under the street laws of 1887 and 1S89 nre
thrown upon the city, thus relieving those
directly benefited of tho expense of said im
provements. The claims of the contractors have, there
fore, become an obligation upon the oitv, a
debt from the payment of which there is no
legal escape.
Under the contraot between the city and
the contractor, the cost of each individual
improvement becomes due and payable two
years after the completion or the work. By
an examination of the statement of unpaid
assessments accompanying tho Mayor's
proclamation, now being published once a
weeK in tne omciai papers, you wui nna mat
about $600,000 of this $2 000,000 liability will
be due and must be provided lor in 1892.
The totalbalance of $1,400,000 will mature in
189.1.
Mast Raise 8600,000 at Once.
How shall these obligations bo met? Omit
ting for the present the consideration of the
remedial or curative legislation to which
reference will be made hereafter in this ad
dress, there are but two answers to this ques
tion: They must be provided for by dlreet
taxation or by the issue of bonds. , , There is
no other alternative. "Whion snail It bet
This is a question for you to determine by
your votes at the election to be held on Tues
day, December 8.
If the $600,000 maturing in 1892 and the $1,
400,000 payable in 1893 are to be paid by direct
taxation, it simply means such an Increase
in the tax levy of those two years as will be
come a grievous burden on the property
holders of this city. If the 'debt is spread
over a series of five or ten vears bv the issue
of bonds, it will be gradually extinguished,
and the burden will be less keenly felt by
those who pay the taxes.
Cannot the cost of all these improvements
be collected from the owners of the prop
erty benefited, under the curative aots ob
tained from the last Legislature? This is a
question repeatedly asked. In answer, it
mav be said that immediately on the enact
ment of these remedial laws the city pre
sented petitions ana procured tno appoint
ment of viewers to make new assessments
covering all work commenced and not fully
paid forjunder the street laws of 18S7 and 18S9.
Tho vie ers have complotod their work on
all the various streets, and their reports are
about ready tor presentation in our local
courts. It is believed that within a period or
three months the question of the constitu
tionality of these remedial acts will be
Anally decided by the Supreme Court.
Should the acts be sustained, there is no
leason why the entlrocostof the improve
ments should not be recovered from the
owners of the property benefited.
One Loophole of .Escape.
The ordinance of the city requires that all
moneys collected upon these improvements
shall be paid into the city treasury and kept
sacred for the redemption of the bonds in
case you should authorize their issue. It
will be seen, therefore, that tho money col
lected under these curative laws can be used
for no other purpose than the redemption of
tho bonds issued to meet tho liabilities re
ferred to in this address.
Should the curative legislation prove con
stitutional, there will be, in all probability,
no necessity for the issue of any bonds to
meet the obligation of $1,400,000 payable in
1893. This legislation will be passed upon by
the Supremo Court in January or February,
1892. thus affording a full vear in which to
provide for the payment of this debt by col
lections from the owners of property bene
fited by the improvements.
It is not likoly, however, that collections
could be made in time to meet the payment
of the $600,000 maturing in 1892. If this be
true, then this obligation will have to be
provided for by direct taxation, or, should
vour authority be given, by the ls9ne of
bonds. Even with your permission no bonds
can be issued without an ordinance of Coun
cils, which must be approved by the Mayor,
providing in specific terms for their issue
and limiting their use to the express pur
pose designated in this address.
These bonds, if issued, must be signed by
the Mayor and the Controller, and it mav
be proper to state just hero that these of
ficers will make it their bnsmess to see that
the issue shall be limited to tho absolute re
quirements or the case and confined entirely
to the obligations under consideration.
No Increase of Corporate Indebtedness.
In voting for the issue of these bonds you
are not increasing tne corporate indebted
ness $1, because the full amount of the debt
is fixed under the contracts, and the con
tracts are binding against the city. Itis not
as though you weie asked to authorize a
largo increase of debt for tho purpose of
enteiing upon new improvements. The debt
against you is already fixed and must be
paid. How shall it be paid? This is a ques
tion to be answered by you at the coming
election. It is not a political question. It
is a purely business, matter which touches
the pocket of every taxpayer in the city.
Should you authorize the issue of the bonds,
the city is piepared for the emergency.
Remedial or curative legislation is by no
means a novelty in this State. 1$ - has
been held good and valid in many case9 em
bracing many different subjects. It is confi
dently believed by those who have given
the matter the most careful study that this
legislation will be sustained by the Supreme
Court, and that under it the city will be able
to collect every dollar of this indebtedness
of $2,000,000 from the people whose property
is benefited by the improvements and who
are,thercfore,jnstlyentitled to pay. Should
our hopes be realized regarding curative
legislation tho issue of bonds will not be in
excess of $600,000; and if the assessments
under this legislation should be promptly
paid, the issue will be limited to an amount
much less than the- sum named, aud the
bonds so issued will bo redeemed by collec
tion from said assessments and not by gen
eral taxation.
On the other hand, should remedialleglsla
tlon be declared unconstitutional by tne
Supreme Court, the city is in position to dis
tribute this indebtedness, by the issue of
bonds, over a period of five or ten years,
thus providing for Its payment In ( manner
that will not overburden the people whose
taxes are already a heavy load.
Though not bearing directly npon this sub
ject, but as a sort of guarantee for the future,
it may be proper to state that the general
street law enacted by the last Legislature
and providing the method of making future
improvements, and the assessments therefor
will be submitted to and passed upon by the
Snpreme Court before any, streets are im
proved or sewera constructed under its pro
visions. Had snch a course been pursued in
relation to the acts oflSS7 and 1889, the city
would have escaped the unhappy dilemma in
which it is placed at the present time.
ALMOST. A WATEB FAHIHB.
AH the Waterway's Polluted by the Over
flow of OH.
A loud wail goes up from the country
districts over the scarcitjr of water, and if
rain in considerable quantity does not fall
soon there will be a great deal not only of
inconvcnience,but actual distress,especially
in the western and southwestern portions of
the county, where the distress has been ag
gravated by the overflow of petroleum from
the McDonald pool, which has corrupted
the streams to such an extent as
not only to destroy the fish, but
also to deprive stock of water available in
the larger streams in former cases of
drouth. The Ohio is eo low that it does
not purify itself, and the bars below Mc
Kee's Eocks are positively filthy from the
accumulations. In some of the villages the
wells, springs and cisterns are nearlyall
dry, and the water from the river is so im
pregnated with oil that even stock will only
drink it as the last resort Those who have
cisterns are in better shape than those who
depended on springs and wells.
Yesterday's rainfall was hailed with joy,
but; the freeze made the situation worse
than before, as enough ice was formed to
obstruct what little flow there was over
bars, and the oil has accumulated in con
sequence. Should the next fall be snow,
with cold weather following, the result will
necessarily be serious.
CHABITY AND POLITICS.
Mr. Diddle Says It Is a mistake for Repub
licans to Belittle Foroker.
Cadwalader Biddle, Secretary of the
Board of Charities, finished his work of in
specting local institutions yesterday, and
left for Philadelphia last evening. He says
Pittsburg has a number of admirably con
ducted hospitals and homes. Mr. Biddle
stated that the commission appointed to
found a place of refuge for the incurable in
sane was working on plans for the build
ings, which would be submitted to the board
as soon as prepared. The farm is located in
Berks county, near Beading.
Mr. Biddle is very much interested in
the Senatorial fight In Ohio. He thinks
the outside pressure will be sufficient to re
turn Sherman to the Senate, but he says it
is a mistake to try to belittle Poraker. He
regards the ex-Governor as one of the
ablest men in the country, who would honor
any legislative body. Foraker is young
and can afford to wait Sherman has the
confidencs of the people on the financial
question, and just now his extended expe
rience is needed.
A Canadian Opium Smuggler Caught
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. Harry Hutchinson,
a Canadian, was arrested by United States
Marshal Allen at McCoy's Hotel to-day on
a charge of smuggling opium into the
United States. Hutchinson's trunk was
seized, and securely packed in the bottom
of it were 110 half pound paokages of smok
ing opium. The prisoner had been shadowed
all day, having attempted to sell some of
the contraband to Chinese merchants. Two
declined to buy it and informed the Gov
ernment official?. It is believed that the
opium is part of a large amount that was
smuggled from "Vancouver.
Thomas Lloyd Objects to the Intension.
Thomas Lloyd was arrested yesterday by
Constable Morris, of Alderman McMastera'
office, to answer a charge of surety of peace
preferred by J. L. Patty. Patty has leased
the farm of P. L. Bails, in Collier town
ship, for mining and oil purposes. Lloyd
is also a tenant of the farm, and threatened
Patty's life for going on the place. Patty
has two oil wells on the place, and he also
alleges that Lloyd has threatened to set
them on fire. The cause of Lloyd's alleged
actions is not known.
Molt Wear "Weapons in Plain Sight
K""W Yobk, Nov. 20. Special. An
official of the American Express Company
said to-day that the old order of the com
pany compelling its agents on the trains to
wear weapons in plain sight on their per
sons has been revived since the New York
Central robbery. The agents have evaded
it by leaving their revolvers on the desk in
the car instead of keeping them on. Here
after they must obey the rule strictly and
stand the chaffing which their appearance
will evoke.

see what was meant by the night sweats,

betimes before my eyes, a cough which for
the past year or more had played havoo
with my dreams at night and my profess
