Governor Pat tison, having had his attention directed to day to various newspaper reports purport ing to represent his attitude toward the railroad consolidation of last week and the contemplated action or non-action of the Law Department, said: f 'The first information, direct or indirect, I had of the leases or consolidation of the coal carrying companies, was the newspaper reports of the same. Since their publica tion the bearing of the State Constitution upon the transaction and its eflect upon the public interest and the welfare of the Com monwealth, have been the subjects of atten tion. "I have conferred with the Attorney General, and he with me. The subject is one that relates to his department exclu sively, and I have entire confidence that he will dispose of it with due regard to the re quirements of the law and the public inter ests involved. The published reports I have seen, purporting to give his views or mine, have been unauthorized and untrue.", Hensel Denies Newspaper Stories. Attorney General Hensel, upon having the above statement of Governor Pattison shown to him, and upon being asked what truth there was in the published report that he had ronsidered the railroad deal before it was announced, and had determined then or since to take no action in the premises, said: "With regard to the particular state ment printed, I believe, first in the Becord and amplified elsewhere, thatlhad informa tion of the lease ten days ago, and had de cided the State would not interfere, I have just sent a dispatch to the Record saying its statement is utterly incorrect, and that I never had any information of the arrange ments between these railroads other than such as was conveyed to the public through the newspapers, nor before those publica tions. I have neither come to any deter mination nor decided upon any course of cction further than I have made known the same to the public, an any statement here tofore made to the contrary is untrue. Not Responsible for Recent Fakes. "This department is not responsible in any way for the somewhat misleading re ports sent out from day to day, purporting to represent conclusions reached and action determined upon with regard to the Com monwealth's interference in the lease of certain railway lines by certain others al leged to be parallel or competiting. It is true that from the first announcement of the consummated arrangements between them whatever it is the alleged violation of the Constitution involved has had consideration by the Executive. It does not raise the same issue which was determined in the South Penn and coal conspiracy cases neither of which, by the way, was ever 'finally determined in the Supreme Court. "You may be assured, nothing done or omitted by this department will be prompted by consideration for the contending inter ests of rival corporations; nor will any action be taken or neglected with an eye upon the stock boards. Mo Rash Policy In Vogue. "It has not been the practice or the policy of the Attorney General's office, so far as I am familiar with its administration, to invoke or lend the name and powers of the Commonwealth to merely private interests; nor to resort to its extraordinary remedies when other as effective could be employed; nor has it been considered a fair and rea sonable exercise of the State's cower to vex and assail any interest in the Common wealth without due inquiry and fair hearing. "It is the usual practice to entertain any respectable complaint of the abuse, misuse of non-use of corporate franchises, and, upon due notice, to give full hearing to complainant and complained against I stand ready to do that in this case. When it is made to appear that the public interest is affected, and the circumstances render it proper or necessary that the Commonwealth intervene, resort is had to the courts wnerein, by fit judicial processes, inquiry is made and judgment is reached. Only w hen a sudden exigency warrants it, or irreparable injury is threatened, or where the wrong is to be prevented instead of being corrected, is more precipitate action justified. No Action Till Necessity Is Shown. "No hearing is ever denied complaining debtors, but in no case, except such as I hare just referred to, is litigation instituted until the danger of the general public inter est is demonstrated. No exception to such orderly methods will be made, because in this particular case it is alleged the infrac tion complained ofistothe detriment of one private corporation and to the advant age of another, or because it is maintained, on the one hand, that the immediate effects upon the business interests of the State are beneficial, and, on the other hand, it is held that ultimately the public will suffer from a monopoly of one of the great "necessaries of life and of manufacturing industry. "The questions of constitutional law and of public policy involved will be met when thev are pronerlv presented. If It shnnld be made to appear, alter such hearing, that the Constitution has been violated, that public interests are prejudicially affected and that the proper remedy is the interven tion of the Commonwealth, the necessary and proper measures will be taken with public notice to all concerned. Xothing will be done in a hurry and nothing will be done in a corner; but the public interest will be protected against every danger that threatens, so far as lies in niv power and within the scope of my duty." Meanwhile, no private interest or individual that is affected is without remedy or needs to wait - upon the Commonwealth." Knmors of a Lackawanna Deal. A dispatch from 2ew York says: There was a rumor in railway circles to dav that it is the piirpcse of the directors of 'the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western , Railway to increase the stock of that road. "The definite shape that the report took was that the stock would be doubled, and that instead of 7 per cent interest, C would be paid upon it. It is well known that there nave recently been large sales of Lackawan na stock, and it is asserted that important changes are imminent in the control and management of the road. It is also asserted that the price paid for the stock bv the recent buyers was such that small profit could be expected in the trans action by reason of an advance. Some other method of realizing a profit, it is said, must have been in view. This, according to re port, Aras by means ot increasing the stock. Samuel Sloan, President of the road, said jthat he had heard of rumors to the effect that the stock will be increased, but he jjknew nothing yet, but at a future meet ling of the 'directors it might be dis- cussed. Ho could not say whether the plan of doubling the stock was feasible or not' Doubts bat No Denial Expressed. George F. Baker, who is interested in the road, also said that be had heard the rumor regarding the proposed doubling of stock, "but added that he did not place any con fidence in it. "I do not think," he added, "that the condition of the road would war rant any such action.1 I doubt its legality. The directors could put tha additional money in ihe road, but I do not see where it could be used." Mr. Baker stated he had never heard such a plan seriously proposed by those who had power to increase the stock. Notwithstand ing the details, it is stated by others that such action is contemplated. A dispatch from Trenton, N. T., says: The Assemblv this morning adopted a reso lution, offered by Mr. Lane, empowering the special committee on the Heading Kail .road combine to summon officers of the roads involved, and to issue processes, if re quired. INCOME TAX FOR REVENUE. Mr. tVlke Talks to th TTays and Means Committee Concerning His Bill He Wants No Step Backward in the March That Leads to Free Trade. "Washington-, D. C., Feb. 17. The House Committee on Ways and Means to day devoted its attention to the principle of an income tax as a means of raising re ve nue in the event' that the reduction of the tariff should ever bring the revenues of the country below the legitimate expenses of government A few days ago Kepresenta tive Wike, of Illinois, introduced a series of resolutions indorsing the income tar theorv and recommending the legislation in that direction by the Fifty-second Congress. These resolutions were referred to the Com mittee on Wavs and Means, and that com mittee to-day accorded Mr. Wike a hearing in advocacv of his resolutions. ' In his argument Mr. Wike urged the committee to consider seriously and propose a plan to supplement any reduction of revenue that might follow a reduction of tariff duties to an extent that might threaten a depletion of the Treasury. Although a Democrat, Mr. Wike maintained that the country would not consider the efforts of the committee as at all serious to reduce tariff taxes unless it at the same time sought some other source of revenue to sup plement any loss from the enlargement of the free list and-reduction of tariff duties. The country is not willing, Mr. Wike continued, to go back to the plan of raising the necessary revenues of the Government by what is called a purely revenue tariff He wanted no step backward in the march that leads to free trade. Any tariff" dutjr what ever, whether the object be protection or otherwise, tends to cripple the power and opportunity of the manufacturer to reduce articles of manufacture so cheaply as those made under free trade. Mr. Wike said that, in 1SGS the income tax in this country had produced its great est amount ot revenue, being almost tia, 000,000, and that more than one-half of that amount arose from incomes in excess of ?5, 000, the limit of the exemptions proposed by his resolutions. BUSSIAHS WANT TO EETUEN. Many of the Immlcrants Anxlons to Go Home, After All. Xew York, Feb. 17. Special For several days the office of the Bussian Con sul General has been crowded with ap plicants, all Russian Hebrews, asking to be returned to Russia. There were two or three families at the office to-day waiting to see Consul General Olarovsky. "We are unable to send these people back to Russia, because we have no fund to do it with, but we will see what we can do," said "Vice Consul Petersen. "Within the past three months over 300 Bussian Hebrews have come to us, all asking the same thing. "The secret of this exodus to this country is that they have an idea they will get money from the Hirsch fund. When they find no money is given them they want us to send them back. I have talked to a great number of the Bussian Hebrew immigrants, and I find in nearly all cases it haB not been persecution that has caused them to leave, but the hope.fif getting money, from the Hirsch fund. This fund, of course, is not intended to be distributed at so much a head. It is a scheme of grandphilanthropy, but, unfortunately, all Hebrews are not so broad-minded as Baron Hirsch. HEW TOSS'S TBACIIOir BOADS All Being Gobbled Cp by the Bit Phila delphia Syndicate. Kew Yokk, Feb. 17. Special The re ports are generally believed, but they could not be confirmed here, that the Ninth Ave nue Street Bailroad has passed into the hands of the Metropolitan Traction Com pany, of Philadelphia. This wonld give the Broadwav Surface railroad a continuous line to Washington Heights. It is thought that the Metropolitan Traction Company is also alter the Avenue V llauroad. The stock of the Metropolitan Traction Com pany has changed from 98 to 111 inside of two days, on the Philadelphia Stock Ex change, and this is believed to tell the whole story. The report that the Philadelphia syndi cate was about to secure control of the Third Avenue Street Bailroad was authori tatively denied to-day, but many think that with the gradual changing of the motive power of the street railroads in this city from horses to a cable system New York will some day see the Philadelphia syndicate or some other big financial company obtain control of the entire street railroad system of this city.

Smith, Edward Whitaker and Bobison Green as directors of the Ohio and Mississippi Bail way, the defendants to-day filed answer. They allege that at the annual election in Cincinnati the relators, McKim, Fahnstock andWalth were not elected directors because the votes were cast by a voting trust created by Brown, Shipley & Co., of New York. 'The answer also alleges that when the agreement to give the control of the road into the hands of the Baltimore and Ohio was made in October, 1891, the English stockholders consented through misrepre sentation being made to them as to the physical and financial condition of the road.

The Health Officials on a Determined Hunt for Typhus Cases.. ACTION OP THE STATE BOARD. Ko Change in the Condition of the Patient Discovered. One IT IS PECULIAELI A DISEASE OP DIET Angelo Amatero, the Italian who is con fined to a dingy little back room on the third floor of No. 1135 Penn avenue, suf fering with typhus fever, is not yet out of danger, and the City Physician and the Bureau of Health yesterday renewed their orders that jio one be allowed to see the sick man, and that all possible pre cautions be taken to prevent a spread of 'the dreaded disease. The ail ment is considered malignant and contagious, and is a malady deemed practi cally extinct so far as civilized cities are concerned. The disease once devastated Europe, and was known as "The Black Plague." It is most prevalent in winter and early spring. Its attacks are most fre quently and most fatally made on the ill fed and uncleanly occupants of overcrowded and illy-ventilated tenements. The disease is also infectious, and ex posure to an atmosphere contaminated by its poisonous germs will induce an attack as also will contact with any of the effects of a typhus patient, and even physicians attending the sick, it is said, may convey the infection in their clothing. It requires, it is said, from 15 to 20 days for the disease to show itself. The Patient's Condition Unchanged. Dr" Moyer, who is attending the sick Italian, said last night that the condition of his patient was unchanged, and that the dis ease which was developing was certainly typhus fever. He also said that the sick room had been fumigated and that strong disinfectants were being used about the places He believed that there would be no spread of the disease from the sick man since his discovery, but he is fearful that other cases will result from contact with the victim before he was confined to bed. The Bureau of Health yesterday received positive letter from Dr. Benjamin Lee, Secretary of the State Board of Health, in which was inclosed a list of the Italians from the infected ship Massilia destined -for Pittsburg and other, points in Pennsylva nia. The letter also said: "If anjr case of typhuB develop, at once quarantine the house and isolate or remove the patient to a pesthouse." The names of the Italians who are sup- Eosed to have come to Pittsburg are given y Dr. Lee - as follows: Angela Matera, Mario Carusa, Christina Busso, Petro Di Bose, Maria Agostinelli (one child), An tonio Pizzaro, Lucretia Pizzaro, Guiseppe Esposito, Antonio Agostinelli, Marie Gal tiero, Fasqnall Lama, Gustav Pausino, Giovanni Stella, Pasquall Lncci and Pietro Tozio. It was decided not to remove Amatero to the pesthouse yesterday. The attending physician believes he can be best treated where he is. He says the attack of typhus is light, but is positively the much-dreaded disease. " The Health Officials Alert. The Bureau of Health is greatly concerned over the earnest letter from the State Board of Health and the list of the supposed afflicted said to have come to Pittsburg and neighboring towns. The Italian quarters in the city have been thoroughly searched for other victims of the disease. No qjthers have as yet been found. It was reported at police headquarters yesterday that three Italians were seen on the" upper Southside. One of them seemed to be sick and was being al most carried by his companions. They had just arrived in Pittsburg and were hunting 'for some Italian family which they said lived in Brownstown. They are unable to talk English, and in order to gain informa tion thev showed a paper "bearing a New York date, which read: "Please show these parties the way to Brownstown, Pittsburg." The paper was unsigned and was written in a foreign hand. Amatero, the sick Italian, still insists that he was the only passenger of the ill fated Massilia who came to Pittsburg. The sanitary inspectors, however, refuse to believe this, and are satisfied that all the passengers who came West from New York were instructed to be silent on the subject of the disease for fear they would be re turned to their foreign homes. Officers have been industriously looking for the. three Italians who were Been on the Southside and in every quarter where the foreigners congregate. Those "best ac quainted with the city have been instructed to report the arrival ot any new comers 'and to notify the authorities promnjly in case any oi ne ioreigners are laten sick. Peculiarly a Dirt Disease. While discussing typhus fever yesterday Dr. Moyer said: "It is exclusively a dirt disease hd there is no real cause for it to spread in Pittsburg. Occasionally a single case appears in a civilized city, but it is quickly Isolated and its germs are carefully destroyed. As a rule, the danger is stamped out at its very beginning. In the case of the Penn avenue victim all such precautions were taken. "In this case we have been taken unawares. A ship load of typhus infected immigrants landed in New York and were allowed to scatter through the entire country. The first intimation of danger did not come to us until the disease had developed and one un fortunate was prostrated with it. "While this case has been isolated and the spread of the disease has been stayed, many persons, probably thousands, have been exposed to the contagion, and it is hardly conceivable that all will escape it; nor is it possible to discover the victims who have been shipped into our city until the disease shows itself in their persons. But the Health Board is properly aroused, and every effort will be made to discover the victims, and each case found will be nrnmntlv dealt with unon its annearance. Meanwhile the cleaner the city is kept in every part the Eooner will all danger pass away." DBNHS'S LETTER AH8WEKID. Why Laymen Are Not Allowed to Discuss Chnrch Poller at the Congress. St. Louis, Feb. 17. Rev. D. S. Plielan, editor of the Watchman, a Catholic journal, said to-day relative to the Dunne letter: The clergy Is opposed to the discussion by laymen of temporal power or education in nn official Catholic body, for the reason that these utterances would be taken as the official voice of the church. That should be confined to those high, enough in the church to speak on mattels or its policy. Y. en orto in the Catholic Church has free dom of individual opinion, but no one has a right to sav whether the Pope should be re stored to temporal power. That is for the Popo to say, and when said it is the duty of tho clergy to ork for it. Alcmbeis of the clergy are not incautious, as a rule, on matters of church policy, but rnanv of the laymen, freed froni any em barrassing responsibility, are Judge Dunna and Zacu Monteomery. who was Assistant Attorney General, for instance. You will re member that Judge Dunne was removed from the Tenltorial Judgeship of Arizona by President Grant on account of these exj treme views. BBAECH FOB TYPHUS PATIENTS. New Tork to Make a House-to-House Can , vass Among Italians. New Yohk, Feb. 17. Special" A '-house-to-house inspection of the Italians in this city will be begun to-morrow morning by the Board of Health. Since the break ing out of typhus fever among the Bussian Hebrews who came here on the Massilia the health, authorities have been anxious to ;... l- A - -. )- i locate the 450 Italians who were their fellow passengers. At "a meeting ot the Board of Health to-day Dr. Cyrus Edson's staff was reinforced by the appointment of ten addi tional physicians. These ten doctors will inspect all the Italians in the city, which will be divided into ten districts. With the exception Of two women, all of the Bussian Hebrews on North Brothers' Island are in a favorable condition. The women are so low that their death is hourly expected. Gangrene had attacked one of them. During the dav no new cases were reported in this city, but in the morning Dr. Edson received news that three of the Massilia's Hebrew passengers were down with the fever in a town near Albany. Dr. Edson says that although the danger of an epidemic was not past, the condition of affairs was very encouraging. Until the Italians had been inspected it was . impos sible to say whether all danger of an epidemic was over. INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS. President Harrison Sends a Message to Congress About Them He Thinks the Whole Subject Should Bo Disposed of at Once Instead of by Degrees. Washington, D.C., Feb. 17. The Pres ident sent to Congress a message calling attention to the Cheyenne and Chickasaw claims for the payment of which Congress appropriated $2,991,450 in the Indian ap propriation bill passed by the last Congress. This amount was to be paid these Indians for their interest in lands lying south of the Canadian river in the Indian Territory and now occupied by the Cheyenne and Arapa hoe Indians. Three-fourths of the appro priation was to be paid to such person or persons as should be authorized by the laws of the Cheyenne Indians to receive it and one-fourth to the Chickasaws, the appropri ation to become operative upon the execu tion of releases and conveyances satisfactory in manner and form to the President. The President then says it came to his knowledge that the Cherokee Legislature had agreed to pay three of that tribe 25 per cent of any appropriations obtained from Congress, and that the Chickasaws agreed to pay 10 per cent of their interest to their agents and attorneys. It also came to the knowledge of the President that the action of the Choctaws council was corruptly in fluenced in the matter. The President does not think that Con gress should so legislate as to give effect to such a contract and he is of the opinion that if this appropriation is to Btand, provisions should be made for protecting these tribes against extortion. The President does not approve of deal ing with the question by piecemeal. It would have,been better, he says, if a rem nant of title remains in the Choctaws and Chickasaws to the lands in the leased dis trict to have settled the whole matter at once. The calculations made in arriving at the basis of the appropriations made, no account being taken of the $800,000 paid by treaty stipulation for the leased district, seem to the President as not just to the United States. In conclusion, the Presi dent commends the matter to the attention of Congress for such action as may be thought advisable. ANOTHER ALICE MITCHELL. Cincinnati Has a Girl .Who Proposes to Another She Threatens to Kill the Re cipient of Her Letter if She Won't Ac cept the Oiler. Cincinnati, Feb. 17. Special' Cin cinnati can duplicate almost anything in the way of a sensation. She 'has just come to the front with an Alice Mitchell-Freda Ward case, although, fortunately, bloodshed has been averted. The woman who takes the part of Miss Mitchell in the case is Annie Bryant, of 479 Eastern avenue, and the Freda Ward is Florence Megrue, a pretty blonde saleslady for Oskamp, Nolt mg & Co., residing on Columbia avenue, near Tutculum avenue. The principal features of the case are almost identical with the Memphis tragedy. About two weeks ago Annie Bryant had occasion to visit the store of Oskamp Nolt ing & Co., and while there she met Miss Megrue, who is a "fascinating little lady. The Bryant girl took a deep interest in the little wageworker and showed her liking in a most striking manner. Nothing was thought of this, however, until several days ago, when in Miss Megrue's mail there came a letter that cansed her to tremble with fear and excitement. The letter was from the Bryant woman and was couched in the most endearing language. It said that the writer loved her,and wound up with a proposition of marriage. The writer threatened death in case her tender was refused. Miss Megrue at once told her employers who in turn called in the girl's Sarents and the woman was visited. She id not deny writing the letter. On her promise never to bother ' the young lady again no legal action was taken. MICHIGAN OH THK FENCE. A Hill Congressman Doesn't Think Cleve land Has All the Delegates. Washington, Feb. 17. Special Rep resentative Whiting, of Michigan, who has been at his home for several dars, has just returned. He says, speaking of the political situation, that there is a very considerable Hill sentiment in that State. It is impossi ble, he says, to tell just now how the Michi gan delegates to the National Convention will vote, but Hill will certainly have some of the delegates, but he can't tell how many. At present, Mr. Whiting says( the Michi gan people are making preparations to give Mr. Cleveland a royal reception on the oc casion of his speech there on the 22d. They will do him all honor as tbe ex-Democratic. President and the man for whom they have the highest re gard. A Terv large number of the strongest men in the State, he says, who have heretofore been Cleveland men, and who still regard Cleveland as one of the greatest men in the party, are nevertheless in favor of the nomination of Hill. He says this is particularly true of the leading country politicians in the State. . Mexicans Sympathize With Garza. Washington, D. C, Feb. 17.

They Effect a Marvelous Cure Which Astounds the Doctors. ' A PATIENT'S NEKVfiS SHATTERED, But Ife Was Made Whole by a Suspended Catholic Friest. A 1IIEACM THiT PUZZLES SCIENTISTS rsririAi, TEi.iomii to tiie dispatch.i New Yokk, Feb. 17. What is probably one of the most renferkable cures on record has just been effected by Bev. Father Tom Adams, a suspended Catholic priest of Brooklyn. The subject of this cure is Michael B. McCarthy, proprietor of the West End Hotel, this city. For nearly three years McCathy has suffered excruciat ing torture from a peculiar ailment that was the result ot a fall frora an electric car in Boston. He was treated and examined by leading physicians in Boston, New York and cities in the South, including Balti more, Washington and Bichmond, without getting relief. His case was pronounced both unprecedented and incurable. The doctors said his trouble was due to an injury to the medulla oblongata caused by his fall from the car in Boston. The nerves which controlled the respiratory organs had been shattered and had lost all control of the lungs. While an apparently robust, healthy man, McCarthv's respiration was at the rate of 1G2 a minute, instead of the normal rate of 18 a minute. Walking Abont as Well as Ever. To-dav this man, whom scores of the most skillful physicians in the North and South pronounced incurable, walked into- a local newspaper office, and with a counte nance glowing with delight, declared him self a cured man. McCarthy told how he had been treated by Father Tom Adams, of Brooklyn. "He told me to kneel down before a little altar and pray, and he prayed also. I then bared my body, and he rubbed me with ar ticles which he said were relics of our Savior and the saints. I was sick when I went to him and I was sick when I left, and was feeling badly all the way home so bad that whenl was on the ferryboat I was wishing that I had it all to myself. Passengers on the boat who heard me breathing moved away Irom me in apparent disgust, while others crowded around me for a moment or two, and thought I was crazy. About o o'clock that evening a sudden change came over me, my rapid breathing stopped, and, to my as tonishment, I found myself a well man again. I could hardly believe my senses. Itel!c Used In the Miracle. Father Adams gave a reporter a list of the relics that he used to cure McCarthy. The list was as follows: Particles of the flesh of St. Francis, of Assisi; particles of the garments of St. Julia, the virgin mar fyr; earth and coffin wood from the grave of St. Teresa Alva, Spain; particles from the coat of St. Joseph; a part of the coffin of St. Margaret Mary, of Alaquoque, France, the founder of the order of the devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus; particles from the urn of St. Aloysius Gonzaza; particles trom the grave of the Virgin Mary; a small statuette of St. Teresa, made from the earth, of her grave; piece of stone from the tomb of Christ; portion of the crib in which Christ was placed in the stable at Beth lehem; part of the garments worn by St. Alfonso Signara. f t Father Adams has what appear to be proofs of the authenticity of these relics in documents yellow with age, signed by Boman cardinals, and containing the papal seaL Father Adams cites Holy Writ as bis authority for the use of the relics; said he had the authority of the Holy Writ, and quoted freely from the Bible in support of his statement. The Testament Cited as Authority. The New Testament, he said, abounds in narratives of faith cures, and so do common history and tradition. The suspended priest has effected, if common report is true, many wonderful cures. He has no fixed charges, i is said, but accepts for his serv ices any offer made to him. Some of the physicians at Bellevue Hos pital who had knowledge of McCarthy's case were astonished to-day when a reporter informed them of the recovery of the hotel keeper. The doctors were incredulous, and a delegation of them headed by Doctors Cooper and Black harried down town on an elevated trainv to see McCarthy. The physicians congratulated McCarthy on his recovery,and asked him to appear before the students of Bellpvue Medical College. To the reporter Dr. Cooper said Mc Carthy's recovery was in all probability due to the fact that his trouble was not organic, but functional. They said that if he had exercised ns much will power at any time before durine his trouble as he did when he went to see the suspended priest he would in all probability have recovered.
