Concerning pauper immigration they say that if the standard of pauperism is to be based unon money possessions when landed, it would in times past have excluded many who are now prominent in commercial, financial and lejislative bodies, and every way woriby as true American citizens, and if this standard is now to be adopted it will exclude those who may become equally de sirable.

SpeciaL Superstitious people in this city and the neighborhood and there are many such among the large mining population are greatly disturbed over the appearance in tliis city of what they call a black ghost. This mysterious apparition has been seen three times within the past fortnight, each time just after midnight and in different parts of town. It is in the form of a iromsn dressed in black from head to foot Each time the ghost has been chased, but has mysteriously disappeared. Twentv-eight years ago this winter the same -woman in black, or one with the same habits, appeared three times, just as this one has done, and the memorable plague of black lever, which carried away scores of men, women and children in Carbondale and vicinity, followed her appearance. For this and many other reasons that seam con clusive to them superstitious people here and hereabouts are greatly disturbed oyer this reappearance of the black ghost. A P2IBC2 LAUDS With a Small Regiment of Servants After a Itough Vojace. Xetv Yoek, Feb. 7. SpecidW Prince Leopold, of Birstein, did not h'ave an agree able time on the Horth German Loyd's steamship Lahn, which arrived to-day, two days behind her usual time. The Prince re ceived the best kind of treatment from Captain Hellcners and the officers of the Lahn, but the ship was badly treated by the gale-swept seas. "While hucking the tall waves on Janu ary SO a shaft bearing got hot, and the ship had to stop for seven nours. The bearing burned out the next day, and the Lahn was hove to for 13J hours while a new bearing was put in. She pitched and rolled a good deal," and two of her second cabin passen gers were hurt by falls. Prince Leopold brings with him several counsellors, a secretary, a doctor and a smal' regiment of servants. He also has enough trunks and satchels to fill a small sized hotel. THE B.ELIGI0US CIVIL -VVA2. The .'tate or the Evanzelical Fight In East ern Pennsylvania Towns. Readixo, Feb. 7. In many sections of Eastern Pennsylvania to-day the anti-Bowman pastors of the Evangelical churches preached their farewell sermons preparatory to attending the arnual eastern conference, which mets in Lebanon on the 18th in stant. Other pastors deferred preaching their farewell discourses until next Sun day. The East Pennsylvania Bowman Con ference meets in Nornstown the latter part of this month. The various efforts at rec onciliation have all failed, and two separate conferences will be the result. There were no new developments to-day in the local church war at Akron. The Dubs faction held services in the presence of an officer thismorning and this afternoon, and a Bowmanite preacher officiated this evening. The trouble will now be adjusted in the courts. Nothing Certain Alioat tho Lite Strikes. George Elliott, of Denver, an .old gold miner, was a passenger on the limited last evening going home. He says the Color ado people have gone crazy over the strikes at Crede and "Whipple Creek, but there is nothing certain as yet about the durability of either. Everything is on a speculative basis, and conservative men are not doing much venturing. The development has not been sufficient. Miners scrape small holes in the ground, and if they find yellow stains they rush off to sell the property at a big figure to some poor dupe. Water Tanks Too nich for a Test. H. G. Eurall, the engineer in charge of the new compound Baldwin locomotive, which is to be tested on the Fort Wayne road, is at the St. James Hotel. He was to hare made a trip yesterday, but it was found that the water tanks ot the engine are too high. Mr. Burall claims he ran"a mile in 58 seconds on the Philadelphia division of the Baltimore and Ohio road with the locomotive. He thinks the monster will do away with double-headers. Henry fhiler to Be Bolcased. Superintendent of Police Henry Muth, of Allegheny, yesterday stated that he would to-day release Henry Schiler, who ii locked up for attempting to kill his son on Spring Garden avenue.

Messengers Explain Why the Adams Express Co. Discharged Them. THE MEN HAVE MANY GRIEVANCES A Great Strike Trcdicted if the Eaihvar Federation Backs Them. OPPOSED TO AN IKSDEAKCE SCHEME Just now the Adams Express Company is having its inning bowling out the messen gers at a lively rate. Frequqnt allusions to the wholesale discharge of the men have been made in these columns from time to time, but nothing definite as to the cause of the trouble has been published. The officeis cf the company refused to talk, and the dis charged employes preferred to remain quiet until they knew where they stood. Yester day a delegation of messengers explained their side of the case and the objects of the Messengers' Brotherhood, which is the bone of contention. In the last two weeks most of the Adams express messengers iu the Western division, which is under the management of General Superintendent Weir, have been dropped. The lemovals have not extended to the Eistcrn division, which includes the Penn sylvania roa'd and its branches from Pitts burg to 2ew York. This city is the head quarters for the men working on the two divisions. The Roads 3Iost JifTecteH. In the Ft. Wayne, Panhandle and C & P. roads about 23 messengers have been dis charged. The names of the C. & P. men are James O'Neil, J. M. Rockwell, J. F. Phillips, Fred Chambers, C. H. Fowler and F. C Littjc. On the Ft. Wayne some of the men dropped are Messrs. McNally, Miller, Marker, Russell, Jackson and Davidson. On the Panhandle are Messrs. Lorner, Sr. and Jr., Ksovvhon and Cron-in. The delegation then explained that the Adams Express Company lias become very close in the treatment of its employes dur ing the last few years. Last October a year ago the wages of messengers were reduced 25 per cent, and since then several cuts have been made. The average per month paid messengers now is about 5o.l Baggagemen on the railroads whoinake the same r.ms re ceive fully 23 per cent more. Formerly if au employe was taken sick or injured in an accident theeipress company continued his wages while he was idle, but this practice was stopped about three years since. To make matters worse, if a messenger doubled up, that is, made a return trip, ow ing to the illness of the man who should have taken his place, he received no pay for it, and the sick messenger was docked the time. In this vsay the company got a day's work for which nothing was paid. Theuiu the olden times, those better davs for which the poets sometimes long, each messenger was compelled to give a bond for 3,000. But recently Tom Piatt, of New York, with an eye to the almighty dollar, and other Adams .Expressmen, organized tne united States Insurance Company. Instead of giv ing bonds as before, an order was issued to the messengers compelling them to pay to this company 513 per j ear, in return for which they agreed to bond them for ?3,000 per year. Objected to Paying for Ponds. There was considerable crumbling over this order, as the majority of the men were backed for the 53,000 by iriends, who charged them nothing for it aiid the new wrinkle relieved them of the price of a suit of clothes annually. However, under the rule there was no escape for it, and the men claim that the scheme was nothing more than a bonus to the company for their jobs. "Giving a bond for $3,030 to the company for security was ridiculous, anyhow," said one of the discharged messengers, "for we hardly ever made a run without having from 523,000 to 550,000 in our possession often the amount reached 5200.000. For that matter half the time we don't know how much is on the car, as we are given a bill for a sealed safe. So you see, if a mes senger wanted to be dishonest, he could make a ten-strike anytime he desired, and the bond of 53,000 would be paltry in com parison with the loss. Charging us 513 a year for alleged insurance made us feel sore, but, as we had become accustomed to'being squeezed, we made very little complaint." When the company stopped paying the wages of men who were sick or injured there was considerable suffering in the families of the idle. The other employes were fre quently called upon to help their suffering fellows, and as a rule they subscribed liber ally. About a year ago the Brotherhood of Messengers was suggested for the purpose of helping afflicted brethren and improving the moral" and social condition of its mem bers. Tliis is the object of the organization which the Adams Express Company is making so much fuss about The messengers declare that there is not an article or clause in their constitution that alludes to a strike for the settlement of grievances. The broth erhood was formed quietly, and it was only recently that the company became aware of its existence. Questions Pat to the Messengers. Then four or five questions were prepared by Manager Weir anonymously and fur nished by him to the route agents, who handed them to the men for their vrrittcn replies. The employes did not know from what source they emanated, but they sus pected the company. Those who were frauk enough to answer the fjnestions have been rewarded by having their official heads chopped off The queries were these: "Do you belong to tile brotherhood?" "Who induced you to join it?" "Why did you join?" "WhaJ benefit did you expect to derive?" "Whicii would you rather do, give up your job or quit the brotherhood?" The dues of the brotherhood were fixed at 510 per year, and many of the men joined it, because by so doing they would save considerable money in not paying subscrip tions. One ot the aims of the union alo was to provide rooms at the ends of the di visions for its members, where they could read the papers and the best books and current literature of the day. Superintendent Damsel, who has charge of the business west of Cincinnati, says the company has no objection to the Brother hood, but the men have been given to un derstand that they were discharged because they belonged to it. The Adams people are evidently determined not to employ or ganized labor. One of their discharged men is a Mr. Dreisbach, who was a messenger on the Ohio and Mississippi road. Two years ago he repulsed a gang of robbers aad saved the company 550,000, but his heroio service counts for naught when the officials contem plate the Brotherhood bugaboo. Other Companies Not So Hostile. Most of the messengers in the employ of the United States, Northern Pacific, South ern Express, Wells, Fargo and Adams ex press companies belong to the brotherhood. The companies, with the exception of the Adams, have encouraged the organization. The American Express men have a brother hood of their own, and when it was started the company advanced the wages of its em ployes. In the present fight the American Express Company comes in for generous praise in its treatment of its employes. The Adams men who were dropped laugh at the stories that they intended to desert in a short time.to the new companyorganizedby Ex-President Hoey. The Messengers' Brotherhood has applied for membership in the Federation ot Rail way Employes, and if they are admitted either the Adams Express Company will have to take back its men or a gerreral rail road strike tying up the Pennsylvania is sure to follow. The messengers are waiting very anxiously to hear frtmTthe Federation, and until an auswer is received nothing will be done. The men are in a very defiant mood, and if the Federation admits them it is predicted that the Adams people will back down, as the railroads will not permit themselves to be dragged into a general strike on account of the express business.

A Valuable Hint for People "Who May Bo Canght In a Fire Trap Graphic Narra tive of a Cool-Beaded Salesman. TVho Made a Novel scape. There was not even a rope fire escape in the room on the second floor which Felix Kraemer, a salesman for Steinway & Sons, of New York, occupied and had not it been for Mr. Kraemor's experience at hotel fires and an umbrella he probably would be num bered among the victims. He said: Had I not had a (jtvonjj uuibreMa I should either have heen burned or killed in Jumping. I have been burned out at hotels tin ee times now. I was burned out at n hotel at War lensburg, Mo., and also at Ellsworth, Kan., and I learned something about how to act when at a flie on those two occasions. At the lire at Warronsburga gnest escaped by using an open umbrella to ease his fliaht from an upper story window. I never forgot the way in which be escaped, and since that time I have always been provided with a strong umbrella for an emergency like that which preented itself" this morning. As scon as L reached tho window on the third floor I openod my strong umbrella quickly, and carefully put the shawl strap ovor It so as to prevent it lroin turning inside out. Then I made a leap. I did not go sail ing gracefully out. Into the air and land lightly on thecround beneath, but I landed without any broken limbs and am all right now. The umbrella partially turned inside out Just beforo I reached the ground, and I got something of a jar, but I should think myself lucky if I had escaped with a broken lesr. for 1 never before saw a fire burn so fiercely as the one which consumed tho hotel. I ran into the office as soon as I reached the ground.. I was the first person to get out of tne hotel, nnd I cannot imagine how any of the other guests got out alive. I saw Mr. Hears and the night clerk In the office. "For God's sake," I said, "why don't you turn. in tho Hie alarm." I went to thp (Jed ney House, tegistered, secured a suit of clothes which did not fit me and returned to the fire. Even at that time the fire depart ment had not arrived, and men, women and children were at the windows screaming for some one to save them. I saw two or three people jump from the windows. It was ten minutes after I le turned to tho flro before a ladder was raised to any of tho windows. I heaid thcro were mote than lCOpeoplo In the house when I got out, and I cannot understand how more than 20 of them escaped with their lives. It will bo a difficult mntter to convinco me that many of them were not roasted. There was a court in the rear of-thc hotel, and many of the windows of tho Inside rooms overlooked It. Heio I believe dozens of people lost their lives. DBOPPED STOEY BY ST0EY. Jlow One Guest .Escaped by Sheer Grit, Muscle and Good .Luck. Jersey City, N. J.. Feb. 7. Justin M.

F0EQEEY AHD PAILTJEE. The Ingenious bnt Unsuccessful Methods of an Oregon Swindler. Portland, Ore., Feb. 7. A warrant was issued last night for the arrest of Ezra D. Durand. President of the Durand Organ and Piano Company, of this city, on a charge of forgery. Dnrand left the city last Friday evening, and his present whereabouts are unknown. Durand came to this city about ten years ago from St. Louis. 'Two years ago he organized the Durand Organ and Piano Company, with a capital of 100, 000. This was afterward increased to 5200, 000. In payment for stock in this company he would take a promissory note. This note, it is stated, he would 'immediately sell or keep as collateral to borrow money on. In this manner he is said to have raised about 5200,000, with which he speculated in real estate. He did not realize on his specula tions as he anticipated, and in order to raise more money he mortgaged everythins, and, it is charged, issued forged " notes, the amount of which is not yet known. A few days ago attachment stiits were begun by third jiarties, into whose hands the stock holders' notes had fallen. This precipitated a crisis. The loss will fall heavily on stock holders, some of whom will lose all they possess. A Y0UBG FOEGEE'S IASI CHA.HC2. His RrlatlTes to Take Up His Spnrlous Pa per If Ho Waives His Heirship. Marietta, Feb. 7. Special. The Stowe sensation, in which ayoung'man named J. Smith Stowe is accused of forg ing his relatives' names on notes, to-day took a new turn. The father and brother of the forger now declare their willingness to take up all his spurious paper extant, provided the victims would enter into an agrcemcirtnot to prosecute him, amounting in all to' upward of 50,000. Some ot the victims of the forzerics have already an nounced their willingness to compromise, and it is believed that all will do so. . One other condition attaches to the prop osition, and that is tha'i J. Smith Stowe, who is now' a fugitive from justice, shall waive all claims upon the estate of his father, which there is little doubt of his doing if he can thereby escape the peniten tiary, whicii awaits him otherwise. The elder Stowe has already spent from $20, 000 to 523,000 on his wayward son, and the brothers haye also paid considerable from time to time to keep him from justice. CONVICTED BY AH 0VEEC0AT. Tho Supposed itlurdcrcr of His Common Iiaw "VTife Protests Innocencr. Chicago, Feb. 7. George Painter must hang for the murder of Alice Martin, other wise known as Alice Painter, his common law wife. The jury was out all night Painter, v ho np to this time had appeared perfectly cool, turned pale, and a tremor shook his jraine. The crime for which Painter was con victed occurred May 11. The woman was proved to be of immoral character, and the story told by the prisoner was that ho went home late on the night of the murder and found her dead on the floor of their bed room, where she had evidently been beaten to death with a club. Painter maintained throughout the trial that the deed must haye been committed by some one of the woman's numerous caller's, and showed that she had saved his life by nursing him through a contagious fever. The chief evi dence against him was an overcoat stained with blood. BOLD CHICAGO FOOTPADS Attack a Chinaman on a Car at a Crowded Corner, bnt Are foiled. " Chicago, Feb. 7.

On one of the most prominent corners in the city, Madison and La Salle streets, a gang of desper ate footpads attempted to rob an inoffensive Chinaman on the rear platform of a Madi son street cable car. Detective Norton had been watching'and interfered in the China man's bcbalt. but succeeded in arresting only one of the crooks. The rest escaped by flight While taking his prisoner to the station the officer was viciously assaulted by one of the gang, George Williams, who had followed them, with the butt of a pistol. Norton was almost stunned by the blow, but he turned, drew his revolver and- fired at Williams, who fell to the sidewalk mortally wounded. THE MILITARY HELPLESS.

There was really no fight at Coal Creek last night, the cause of the alarm being the surrounding of the militia camp by many miners who opened aa indiscriminate firing, hoping 'to put the soldiers to flight. They were disappointed, however, as the troops feturned the fire and the miners dis persed. Several hundred shots were fired, nut no one was hurt. The Cleveland Street Man Now Free.

I Baseball People Anticipating the Opening Day and Are Active. THE NEW SCHEDULE HOW EEADY. Gossip About Tnrf Events and Prospects of the Big ITandicaps. GEXEFwAL SPOETIXG NEWS OP THE DAT. rSTF-CIAI, TZLIC.n All TO THE DISPATCIt.1 New York, Feb. 7.' Everybody inter ested in baseball seems to be anticipating the opening of tho season of 1892. Players are beingnotified about reporting, and there is a definite demand that players all report in condition. Great things are expected during this year, and the championship season will open April 14. The schedule for the season has been com pleted, and is nestling quictly'in President Byrnes' safe at Eastern Park. There it will remain until the meeting of the mag nates is held in March. The place and ex act date of this meeting have not been an nounced, but will likely take place in this city early next month. It will not be much less important tiiau the one recently held in Indianapolis. Some of the law-makers of the dianond are .anticipating it with even greater interest, as they have personal ac counts to settle. The New York directors'! think that Pre ident Young has not dealt as fairly with them in the distribution of players and the assignment of committees as they deserve, and President Young'may come to a similarconclusion alter he has en countered President Day. Pittsburg Club's Complaint. President Temper, of Pittsburg, has ex pressed his dissatisfaction with Mr. Young's rulings in the Grimm and Lyons cases, and unless his temper cools during the next few weeks the meeting of the base ball men promises to be exceedingly excit ing. After these little differences have been righted the magnates will pick flaws in the schedule, the new national agree ment and the revised playing rules. The Schedule Cornmittee has done its work conscientiously, and has tried to suit everybody. The result of this will be that everyone will be dissatisfied. Naturally, the clubs representing smaller cities were anxious to play the New Yorks, Bostons and Chicagos on'holidays. This, of -course, could not be granted. New York asked to have Anson's team play here on Decoration day and the Cincinnatis on Labor day. The club also requested to be sent to St. Louis on July 4. Other plums were ordered by tbe Giants and their rivals, and a3 there are not enough to go round some one must go without picked dates. As to the national agreement, there seems to be no doubt whatever but that a regular cyclone will strike it if it is the same that Director RoeeYs gave out for publication recently. Scarcely anybody but the Phila delphia lawyer who drew it seems to favor it. Its unjust demandsof the minor leagues has called forth condemnation from all parts of the country. It was for the purpose of getting an expression of opinion, Mr. Bogers says, that the agreement was made public He, now knows better than he could have otherwise learned what is wanted, and by the time the proposed agree ment is submitted to tne .League lor adop tion it will have been so revised as to meet all the essential requirements. About Selling Beer. The League has always been opposed to Sunday games and the open sale ot beer and other intoxicants on the grounds of its clubs. While the League has been opposed to these things, the rules have not always been enforced, nor will tley be this season. The privilege has already been officially granted to some of the clubs to play ball ou Sunday, and others have protested against such games. TheXeague will nevertheless allow Sunday ball games this season. Wilf it also" allow the sale' of liquors openly on its grounds, or willit entorce the rules against it to the letter? That is a question that is agitating not a few of those in power. The "drys" represented by Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Wash ington, Bo'ston and Philadelphia do not think that the patrons ot the na tional game should be given an opportunity to sip the "foaming" at a ball game. The "wet" contingent hacked up by St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, New York and Brooklyn think it is absolutely neces sary that the cranks should dally with beer glasses in order to keep up the interest in the game. Despite the plaints of the "deacons" of the League, no attempt has ever been made to suppress the traffic. The privilege which has been accorded certain clubs in this respect can be accounted for from the fact that these cities are "payers," in the parlance of the magnates, and if teams should be expelled for allowing liquor selling not as many dollars would jingle ih the pockets of the "deacons." The Chicago club has always been opposed to intemperance and the restrictions placed on subjects connected in a way with distilleries or breweries are very strong. IHTEEESTING TUB? GOSSIP. Eastern Horsemen Becoming Very Busy Since the Handicap "Weights Appeared. New York, Feb. 7 Special. Eastern horsemen are becoming active since the weights for the big handicaps have been published. The 3-year-old hnndicaps aro attracting much attention, and most of the crack 2-year-oidsof 1891 are entered. Tho first im portant 3-year-old race will bo the Fort Ham ilton handicap. ,HIs Highness is the top weisht, being asked to carry 121 pounds. He concedes two pounds to St. Florian, four to Victory, six to Yorkvllle Belle and seven to Dagonet. Lamplighter is In at IH pounds, and Ludwig will carry 112 pounds should John Dale decide to start the speedy colt. The public will always look with favor on "Billy" Lakoland's entries, lor that con scientious trainer is noted for nlways hav ing his horses in the pink of condition. How ever, eight pounds Is a lot for Viotory to concede to a horse like Ludwig. If it re solves intd a question of training, Lake land's horse will have many followers. "Old liones" Baceland is asked to carry the top weight, 127 pounds, in the Metropoli tan handicap, one mile and one furlong, to be run a.t Morns Park In June. Poet Scout and Judge Morrow are each five pounds be low him, while Key del Key will go to the post carrying 120 pounds. Tristan has been tieated easily" by the handicapper, and theie are those who be lieve that Tristan can carry the 110 pounds to tho front, should he be in good condition. That fast Ally, Sally McClelland Is In It at 111, Keclarc 110, Ambulance 113 and Cast away IL 103. In the Brooklyn handicap Longstreet has tho honor of being at the top weight, con ceding pounds to Tenny, Kmgstuu, Eon, Baceland, Loantaka, Judge Morrow and a host of others. It seems to be generally thought that the race will be won by one of tne lignter weignieu norses. jur. iawrence, of the Coney Island Jockey Club, considers Longstreet three pounds better than Tenny, but puts the swayback and Tenny on tho same level 120 pounds in tne Suburban., Interesting Turf" Tables.
