Lift That Much of the Mystery of the Death of Sarah Joyce Is Penetrated. DISCOVERY OF A LOCKET "Which Detectives Are Belying Upon as an Important Clew. SECRET CONCEALED IX A SHAWL Three 3Iore Colored Men Under .Arrest, Mainly on Suspicion. .THE FUNERAL OF THE GIEL T1CTIM Three more colored men have been ar- ircsted and are inspected of knowing nome- thing about the death of Sarah Jo ce, but the iU'iiicion is not strong. It was learned yesterday that the police ha e purposely pretended to disbeliee the murder theory advanced by Coroner McDowell. The officers have slight clews upon which they have been working 5ndutnously and their action in advancing the accident theory has been evidently in tended to throw the murderer or murderers off their guard. There is now little doubt but that the girl as murdered, but by -whom or for what purpose i a mystery upon which the police are as much at sea as anyone else, de spite the secrecy of their actions. Tl.e Uisioi ery "r Locket. The clews in possession of the offi cers consist of a lace shawl and a pold brooch or locket upon which are three I links, showins it to be an emblem of the KXO.F. These articles were found near "where the girl's body lay on Friday morn ieg, and it ha- been learned by the police that neither of them belonged to her or were worn liv ner on tne mgni she left her sister's home to meet death. Her sister, Mrs. McGinley, is posi tive the girl never owned either article and cays she would have known it if she had. The locket is oval, about three-quarters of an inch in length and a slide between the outside halves is held in place at one tnd liyarivet The slide has a space tor a eeiall photograph, but it contains a lock of light brown or blonde hair, apparentlv that of a child from tne fineness of its texture. The lettering on the locket is in due and "Hack enamel. There is no inscription to jsfeow its ownership. The lace shaw 1 is round and about three feet in diameter, and ot about the appear saccand texture of a cheap lace curtain. It aflyhfive been intended for a table cover. The figure in it is small and it seems to have 1een used considerably, though it is not TIip Searcli for the Onntrs l?oth these articles were found within a Jew feet of the body. The shanl was rolled srtH-1 crumpled up and soaked with the rain, bt there was no blood upon it. The police 3wvc vainly cndeaorcd to find an owner fdr either the shawl or the locket, hut thus far jritbout success. Inspector Wliitehouse d Detective Fitzgerald were out from early yesterday morning until late last evening. "When they returned, covered with mnd, ihey deeiared the had no information to ic out. though admitting thev had been Marching lor a man in connection with this I SUR MURDER mysterious case Fiom another sowrcc it was learned that ihev had been looking for a man who had on Thursday night attended a wedding party 3HJt far from where barah Jovce met her JBtlu He had passed along Sylan ae 5ie twice, and his clothing was splashed "with bih1 when he reached the house where the party was held. Jill Uelirve It Is M artier. Inspector "Wliitehouse and Detective Titegerald, when pressed to the ijuestion, Xeluctantlv acknowledged their belief that the girl had been murdered. Thev said hat when the body was first discoered there had been found in the mud near it jwints of the girl's shoes and those oi one or two men, which unmistakably indicated a struggle. There was also a depression in the soft clay which looked as if a man liaa fallen. In a few hours after the first dis covery, However, these marks had all been obliterated by the crowd which tramped nbout the spot. It is supposed the girl resisted fiercely and by reason of her strength threw her assailant before she was subdued by the "blow which crushed her cheek and must have felled her to the ground. One re markable feature of the case is that there were no marks upon her throat or body to show where she had been seired byher mur derer. It is thought that if she had been caught by the throat so soon before death ihe post mortem change would hae made llue marks where the murderer's fingers grasped her. A Tall Highly Improbable. A visit to the ground showed that it was net to impossible for the girl to have fallen from the loadway down the hillside to where her body was found. "While there Is a steep slope of 15 feet directly below the road, there is a level stretch at that dis tance and then a stretch of rolling, uneven ground between it and the little knoll where she lay when found. A large num ber of people visited the place yesterday and the general verdict was that "the girl 3d never fallen but must have been forced down the hill.

Last night they were singing in their cells at the Fourteenth ward station , as if they had no trouble on their minds, l'ulpus was silent, however, and did not Mem as light hearted as his companions. The prisoners were all last night given to understand why they were arrested, but all protested that thev knew nothing about the case, aud were willing to have the most Marching investigation made. The View, of the Coroner. . S Coroner McDowell said last night that he would begin the inquest at 10 o'clock this morning, but would go slow m the investi gation in order to allow the police all the time necessary in gatheriug eidence. "I am firmly convinced that this poor j;irl has been foully murdered," he said, "but 1 acknowledge there is a deep mys tery surrounding the entire case and the officers have a difficult task on their hands to establish the identity of the murderer. It will take time to do it, awl I will arrange the investigation and assist the officers all I oeii. I have much confidence in the pres out Second district officers, and feel sure ihey will fathom the case sooner or later." The remains of Sarah Joyce were interred j-estcrday in the Calvary Cemetery at Hazel wood. An immense throng of people at tended the services at J?t. Stephen's Church on Second avenue. Father Devlin delivered a touching sermon over the remains, paving f a high tribute to the courage of the maiden who had given her life in defense of her conor. The church was crowded and the jT - yjiv pastor's remarks brought tears to the eyes of many in the congregation. PROBABLY AT GRETNA GREEN. Miss Kale Haws, of Johnstown, and a Toon;? Man of Her Acquaintance Dis appear Simultaneously. Johnstown society circles are greatly ag itated over the mysterious disappearance of Miss Kate Haws, the handsome daughter of A. J. Haws, oue of Johnstown's leading citizens. Miss Haws had been going to school at Greensburg, and made many friends. She went there Friday evening last, and stopped at a hotel, informing the landlord that she had lost her pocketbook in the train, containing 250. A telegram was sent to the conductor, and the pocket book was recoered, though a large portion of the money was jjone. Miss Haws remai ned at the hotel all night, aud the next morning disappeared, stating she was going to see some friends in the country. Siuce that time she has not been seen. The young lady recently graduated at St. Joseph's Academy, of Greensburs, and to the hotel proprietor acknowledged that it was there she met a young man with whop she was desperately in loe. She also said she expected to meet him in Greensburg, but tor some reason he did not appear. The young man in qustion is verv well known in Greensburg and Pittsburg, but it is not known where he is at present. G. A. E DELEGATES AEEIVING.

It is customary to denote th place with a large flag across the street A firm, when application was made to attach a rope to one of their window sills, lor some reason or other, declined. The veterans were very indignant when they heard ot the refusal, but Mr. Shannon, who occupies the building next door, consented. The flag won't wave horizootallv across the street, but its ample lolds will wind in and out diagonally over the thoroughfare. CHABITY AND POLITICS Go Hand in Tland at a Meeting of Allegheny Germans. Charity and politics were combined in harmonious unison -last ei cuing at a meet ing of nearly 400 Germaus at Druiden Hall, Fast street, aboelforthavenue, Allegheny.

Colonel McKie aud Staff Captain Plant, of the Salvation Army, w ith a score of red suirtcd and Quaker-bonnet followers, held sway in Lafayette Hall .yesterday after noon. The pit of the old building was com fortably filled with sympathizers in the cause, and the closest interest was paid to the remarks of Colonel McKie. In the usual loud-voiced manner he begged the people to leave the sinful lives they were living aud join the Army. His words did not tail on deaf ears, for at' th& close of the services some 50 persons declared themselves in readiness to walk from darkness into light. After the Colonel had closed his remarks, Captain Plant was introduced, and with an accordeon for an accompaniment, he sang seeral Salvation songs, which brought many fen en t amens from the audience.

Warden Wright Talks of the Arrest of the Tiro Dealers and DEFENDS THE USE OP C0X.YICT LABOR A telegram from New York state1? that George McCabe and Charles Goldberg, who are represented as being New York agents for Pennsylvania prison-made goods, have been arrested on charges of handling convict-made mats that are not branded as such. The Matmakers' Protective Union is pushing the case?, and the assertion is made that the movement is the beginning of a campaign against the sale of all prison made goods in New York. The telegram states that on account of prisons being able to sell mats at a low-er rate than manufacturers, the workmen have organized to present convict competition. Goods, it is said, have been put on the mar ket as the product of "Riverside Mills" without the label which the law of the State requires. Assistant District Attor ney Bedfoid, of New York, is reported as saying that there is no question about the State having a case against Mc Cabe and Goldberg and that they will be prosecuted vigorously. It is stated that it is the intention of the union to bring the matter to the attention of the Legisla ture, and before the session is over that a bill will be introduced to shut out prison made goods from other States. To gain more strength it is stated that the mat makers' union has applied for admission in the Central Labor Union. It arden Wright Calls It a Blult Warden "Wright, of the "Western Peni tentiary, thought the New Yorkers were making a great big bluff when he was shown the telegram yesterday: "We employ no agents or traveling sales men," he said. "As soon as our goods leave the nrison we have nothing more to do with them. They are such ready sale th at there is no need for us to put any person on the road. George McCabe is a brother of Benjamin McCabe, a wholesale dealer in New York, and I suppose he was arrested lor some mistake in carrying out the requirements of the law. Convict-made goods, according to the law in New York, must be marked as such before they arc sold. It is the New York dealer, not us, that has to mark them. "Whcre.it is not convenient to label each piece, the law allows that tags be fastened to packages on which is printed in great primer type the fact that they are couvict-uiade. I have been in Mr. McCabe's place of business and know that lie is careful that all goods are fully labeled. In fact (he mats we make are of better quality than any others snd therefore sell better. "Ihe cry of the niatmakprs is nothing new. There are two manufactories in Brooklyn and one or two in other parts of the country. There was formerly one in New Jersey, bat it was mo cd into the State prison. Onite a Penitentiary Industry. "The Eastern Penitentiary also manufac tures mats, and with ours and the others mentioned is the only source of supply in this country. Before the McKinley bill became a law, there were a great many mats imported from India aud England, where they were also prison-made. It is practic ally anew industry and from the start has been given over to prison labor. The busi ness is not profitable for free labor and for that reason has been largely confined to prisons. Convicts must have something to do and there is nothing in which they would compete less with free labor than in the manufacture of mats. "At Kiversidc we have not more than half our convicts engaged in the manufac ture of mats. They put out a superior quality of goods. "We have an extensive trade on the Pacific Coast and in North western and Southwestern States. Our trade in the East has been diminishing rather than increasing. The talk about shutting out our goods is nonsense. The Constitution of the United States protects our commerce the same as for business firms. Whatever is done, it will not injure us." TOO IIANT TREES CUT. Lrcmbcr Is a Drug on the Market, bnt Mr. Specr Predicts a Scarcity. D. K. Speer left last evening for a trip through Canada and Michigan in search of lumber. Mr. Speer says it is plentiful now, but at the present rate of consumption for ests will be scarce in 25 years and prices of lumber will be high. The time was when only the best trees were cut, but in this age everything is chopped down as the woodsmen move along. Maine used to have lots of timber, but Mr. Speer says the forests have disappeared from the State except in a few sections in the northern part. Out West the railroads are doing what they can to prevent a total destruction of the forests by planting new trees, and they are meeting with some success. It takes about 20 jcars for the average tree to develop. At present large (parities of timber are shipped from Washington and the far Northw est. "Lumber is a drug on the market," con tinued Mr. Speer. "Everybody who has a few acres ot timber laud, wants to get rid ofthe trees. They prefer the money and the result is that the market is overstocked and prices are low. This thing can't con tinue forever and the dav is coming when lumber will be scarce. There are still large tracts of wood land in the United States and the present generation will not see the scarcity. Kentucky is a great timber State, but lor lack of railroad facilities the lumber is not touched. 1 own some land down there aud I find it impossible to keep the people from stealing the timber. "In spring the mountaineers cut the trees near the streams, and the freshets carry them down to the towns where they are sold. There is no poaching of timber in Canada or Michigan. In these sections the, laws arc strict and the tracts arc carefully witched." They Want a JTreo Silver Man. E. B. True, of Hailey, Idaho, has been at the Duquesne for seyera.1 weeks. Mr. True is engaged in silver mining, and during the winter spends his time in the East He ex pects to return as soon as the snow clears away. He says in the West the Democrats and Republicans are of one mind on the sil ver question. They want a candidate for President who is a free silver man. Every voter prefers his own party, .but rather than give up the silver issue, party lines will be thrown to the winds. Mr. True thinks it strange that the Republicans should insist on protection for American industries, and then leave out an extensive business like silver mining. rimnmcr Oat of Politics. H. B. Plummer, ex-Collector of the Phil adelphia port, went East last evening. He had been to Franklin, his old home, attend ing to some business. He is now located in the Quaker City. Mr. Plummer said he. was not taking any interest in politics, but he hasn't lost faith in his former boss, Grover Cleveland. He thinks Groverwill, be renominated. He thought Harrity would be one of the delegates-at-Iarge. I have received within the past week several new design in "Lignomur," the latest and most effective wall decoration. John. -8.

Walter Lyon Iteturns From Tlorlda and Talks About Quay and HarrUon Tho Health or the Junior Senator Plans for tho Jfear Putnre. United States District Attorney Lyon re turned "yesterday from Floriila, where he spent several weeks with Senator Quay at St Lucie. He confirmed the report of Mr. Quay's illness, but said that his health is improving, and that the Senator will prob ably return to Washington about March 1. "Mr. Quay," he said, "had a bad cold or tte grip before he left Wash ington. It was on that account he went to Florida. When we got to St. Lucie he was very sick aud continued that way for some time. He was threatened with pneumonia, and at night could not sleep on accquut of a se vere cough. A week or so ago we tele graphed for Mrs. Quav, and she started to Florida immediately. The nearest physician was 90 miles away, and, a the place was a small one, we didn't tnink he would amount to anything aud did not send for him. Be sides, there is no railroad between the places and it would have takeu two days to have brought the physician to St Lucie. All the home remedies that could be thought of were used and with the warm climate pulled the Senator through, although for a time his case looked danger ous. He had recovered sufficiently to go out rowing before I left and I have received a telegram from Dick stating that he is continuing better. He i3 anxious to get bjck to Washington and will probably be able to return iiext week or the latter part of this week." "Will Mr. Quay follow Mr. Dalzell's lead and commence active campaign work?"' "Mr. Quay was not able to think of poli tics when I was with him aud I do not think he had heard of Dalzell's movements. It is not likely the Senator will be fright ened at tire organization against him. It is the same old crowd of disappointed people, and thev will, of course, flock to Mr. Dal zelL" "Do you know anything of the reported reconciliation of the President aud Senator Quay?" "I do not think Mr. Quay had any com munication with his Washington friends while away. I do not know what was done before he went to Florida. 1 was in Wash ington jesterday, but did not learn any thing new. 1 hardlv expect a Collector to be appointed untif Secretary Foster re turns from Europe." "Who do you think will be appointed then?" "Mr. Graham seems to be in the lead. There is a possibility that Mr. Lyon, of Greensburg, will get tne place as a compro- . inise man. The situation is badly mixed up and there is nothing definite known about what will be done." C0GAN DEFENDS FAT. A Pittsburg Spiritualistic Medium Delivers a Flowery tThortallon. Prof. James Cogan, the welliknown spir itualist, who was brought iuto piominence by defending Annie Eva Fay, aired his pe culiar vievs aud promenaded his many grievances before a fair-sized audience in Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon. In his opening remarks he wanted it understood that it was one of his ancestors of an age long siuce forgotten, not himself, who was disgraced by having mud thrown at him from the "hands of wicked unbelievers. American people were roundly abused for their unbelief in particular and everything else in general. The speaker again took occasion to defend Miss Fay. who, he thought, was a minister plenipotentiary from" the spirit land to show her glory by miraculous power. "I am a Christian now, but for years I wandered in darkness," said the Professor. "The Bible was unknown to me until a short time ago, but now t search it eery dav. I can prove witli Bibical quotations that Miss Fay is just what she pretends to be." Continuing he spoke of her beauty as a svmuol ot purity and divine lavor. tie didn't refer to her stage make-up with the usual painted fdee and low necked dress, but of course that wasn't exactly in the spiritualistic line. In conclusion Prof. Cogan called upon the spirits of the departed faithful, which he evidently thought were floating around the room, to use their superhuman "pull" on wicked sinners, and, if possible, land them among the true exponents of truth, as it seemed to him. A Tolo Tries to Murder His Wire. Mike Scheinski, a Southside Pole, resid ing in the Polish district, was arrested Sat urday night by Oflicer Smith for badly beating his wife. Two boys called the offi cer, saying a man was murdering his wife. When the oflicer arrived at Scheinski's house he found everything in disorder, as if a hard struggle had taken place. On a chair sat the woman, crying from pain. Her arras were blacK aud blue, and her face was badly bruised. SlTe stated that her husband raised a chair1 in the air and told her it was her last day to live. The husband was locked up, and this morning was fined 510 and costs.. A Fortune Hunting Its Owner.

MOJTDAY," .TEBRirAK52S THE 6ITY VALUATION And Machine- Political Rule Touched Upon by Dr. W. A. Stanton. AMERICAN LORDS OF THIS DAY, With llore rower and Less KesponsibilitT 3 ban Feudal L'arons. GOOD CITJZENSIIIP AND THE BiLLOT Dr. W. A. Stanton interested a large con gregation at the Shady Avenue Baptist Church last night with a discourse on the subject of "Feudalism in the Republic." He referred -during his remarks -to local politics and touched upon the valuations and assessments. "The very .forces," he said, "which make modern civilization are those with which it must now contend for its life. The question of our time, tow aid which all other ques tions, whether of nature, of man or of God, steadily tend, is the social question. It is with us to-day. It is with Germany, France, England and Russia. Because we are a Re public it will not answer for us to say that popular government is a safeguard against communistic and anarchical revolutions. In this very fact lies a great dahger. Men are quite ant to charge most of their ills to bad government, to think that political remedies will cure evil, to fancy that if they bad the power all would be well. Hussians are sure that if they had a Constitutional Government, a free press and free speech, misery would fly away. Ireland cries for home rule as her soothing syrup. German socialism would be put to sleep for a season with a dose of popular government. Restlessuess in England would cease for a generation or two if royalty pave way to Democracy. But we have all there lemedics. Ours is already, in name at least, a government of, for and by the people. If then, in such a government there is restlessness, discon tent, oppression, what will the people seek as their panacea? If the last and best cyolution of government will not .satisfy men, such men have but one step left that they can take. That step is no government The Abuse or the Ballot. "There is nothing beyond Republicanism but anarchism. What many regard as our greatest safeguard the ballot may be in its abuse our greatest peril. What a citizen of a republic cannot accomplish with a ballot he knows no other way to accom plish save by a bullet. "We whoare patriotic, who love law and 'order, who believe in God and our country. ought to look this peril squarely in the face and understand that nowhere will revolu tionary discontent travel faster and result more fatally than iu a Republic, if the peo ple once come to believe that there is no hope in the ballot." Using as an illustration the situation in this city as a result of excessive valuations on property and exorbitant taxes, the pas tor continued: "If there be fraud there, if men in power can there succeed in defeating the will ofthe people, then beware! Revo lution is a near neighbor to corruption. No citizen of a Republic can shirk political responsibilities. It is a sin for a man to stay away from the polls when his vote is needed on the side of right against wrong, of honesty against fraud. Thpliefison ofthe Hour. "To-morrow will be the 22d of Fbrnary. It will be a reminder to Americans for the victorious protest of a people against a power, against taxation without representa tion, against oppression of the masses by the classes. The American citizen who docs not by his ballot defend what George Wash ington by his sword secured, onshl on every February 22 and July 4 to suffer solitary confinement until he realizes what he owes to "God and his country." Dr. Stanton then referred in high praise to the "American Institute of Civics." which is to hold its first meeting at tne First Presbyterian Chursh this morning. He described its educational objects and de clared that such influences were needed. "We ncyl to learn," he continued, "that politics'is the science of government, and not a game of grab. The politician ought to be a statesman, and not a trickster. Feu dalism in a republic is as much out of place as would be the Russian Czar in the White House. Yet we have in the United States a snecies of political and social feu dalism that unless it is stopped will result J m anarchy. "A description of what constituted feudal ism in the year 1100, when from the king down to the serfs, all depended on those next in rank above them for favors and were depended on in return for support That class of feudalism exists to-day in many States. Eight hundred years ago possession of land made men powerful, but it was present to-day just the same in the various forms of combinations, pools, political offices and party rings. The American Lords or To-Day. "There are American lords who have more power and less responsibility than the old time feudal lords ever dreamed of. This is modern feudalism in commercial and manufacturing departments of our Repub lic. We could ransack United States his tory and not find a better illustration of political feudalism than David B. Hill has been giving us this winter in New York State. I am told also that Pennsylvania's two Senators have taken high degrees in political feudalism. "Friends, if such things continue unre .buked by the people at the polls, or if the people believe that the ballot-box can be made to say what, and only what,a political, commercial or manufacturers' ring declares that it shall say, then woe to our country, to our churches, to our mills aud to our wealth. Socialism will then attempt to regenerate society without regenerating the individual. It will fail. It will offer us a fraternity in stead of a Government, forgetting that 'there is no fraternity without a common Father, but the socialism of despair will know no God, therefore its fraternity will fail. Citizenship is a divine trust. Serve God in your citizenship.' " A Conference at the Hotel Oliver.

HARD TO GET' ED) OR Albert Veleski,"Yho Liked Pittsbur? Prisons, Finally PACKED OFP TO PHILADELPHIA. Detective Bendel Remains on the Train Till lie Falls isleep. GAVE THE POLICE PLEKTY OP TROUBLE The police have at last go'.ten rid of Albert Veleski', ot Trenton, N. J. Veleski, whose mind is slightly unbalanced, has a great liking for Pittsburg prison", and during the past few months has made fre quent endeavors to get into them, his first attempt was successful and he got a short sentence to the workhouse for vagrancy. At- that institution he made so much trouble that the second time be was sent up the authorities there refused to lake him and he was et free. At the jail he was also refused, they having no accom modation for insane people. Last Wednes day he again appeared at Central police station, demandingto be locked up. On being refused and pnt out he raised such a disturbance that the Sergeant finally put him in The next dav Chief -Elliot, of the De partment of Charities, was appealed to and furnished a ticket-to Philadelphia so as to get the man as lar on his way home as pos sible. Two officers took Veleski to the Union depot to put him on the train, but he made such strenuous objections to get ting aboard that the conductor refused to take him on the train unless an oflicer went along to take care of him. While they were arguing the matter Veleski took to his heels and escaped. Friday night he appeared once more ai Central station smiling blandly and re questing to be again locked up. It wa little use to refuse, so he was put behind the bars. The case was then turned over to Detective Bendel. who decided he would get VeJeski out of town if it took a month to do so. Accordingly, on Saturday after noon the detective took his prisoner to the depot and got on the 4:30 train s'la5 cast with him. Detective Bendel knew that Valeski needed sleep, a3 he had been in a cell next to that occupied bj a couple of drunken men, who kept him awake all night with their ravings. His plan was to remain on the train until Veleski fell asleep and then comeback. It was -not until Johnstown was reached that the prisoner, finallyoyer come by exhaustion, stretched ont in his seat in "a sleep that the detective concluded would not be broken until Harrisburg had been passed at least The officer then got off the train and came back. In all probability Veleski was landed in Phila delphia, where the authorities will doubt less have au opportunity soon of packing him ofTto his home in Trenton. A ITJGE0AT CAP3IZ5D T.j Ice From the Parker Gorge as It Passes Pittsburg. The tug Fred Dipple, owned by Frederick Dipple, the coal man, was capsized in the the Allegheny river, at the Pittsburg end of Seventh street bridge, Saturday evening. There were two deck hands on the tug at the time but th(y escaped by jumping on a coal barze. The tug had been used all day in securing and making fast some coal barges in antici pation ot danger from the break of the Parker ice gorge. In the evening steam was let down and work was begun to make fast the tug itself. This had progressed slicrhtly when a run of ice swung one of the barges and the shd'k capsized the tug. The two men on it leaped to the barge and es caped. The ropes tied to the tug held, and although the tug sunk the water is shallow and to-dav she will be raised. It is not thought that much damage will result. Andrew Carnegie Presents Two Vocallon -i Church Organs.
