n wzzzzz THE PITTSBUEG- DISPATCH,- TUESDAY MARCH 15, 189a ' ' ' , ' ' ' ' '' HILL TO THE SOUTH. Bii Presidental Boom on Wheels Commences in Dead Earnest. TALKS POLITICS FfiOH THE START. He Preaches Tariff for Eevenne Onlj to Southern Iron Men, and BEPLIES TO DAEEISON'S SPEECHES Knoxyiixe, March It The first point at which Senator Hill's train stopped this morning was Roan oak e, Va. The Senator spoke for ten minutes, saying: I do not intend upon this occasion to enter upon any discussion of Democratic princi ples. They are dear to you, as thoy are dear to the people throughout the land. AVe be Here in an honest and economical adminis tration of public affairs. We believe that no more money should be raised for the sup port of the Government than Is necessary for its actual administration, economi cally administered. Vt'e believe that the place for surplus taxes is in the pockets of the people, and not in the Federal treasury. Cheers. We believe in the right of each State to regulate its own domestio affairs in Its own tray. Applause. We claim that right in the great Empire State, where I live, and we freely concede that right to the citizens of Old Virginia. "Good, good," and applause. I congratulate you upon the signs of the times. It is evident that the majority ot the peo ple of this country believe in Democratic principles. Cheers. Although in the last national election our candidates were de feated through the machinery of the elec toral college, you have not forgotten the fact that they received a majority of the people. Applause. Oar principles were sustained. Applause. They are vital to the success of this country. They are essential to the welfare of the people. The Democratic Power Limited. We are opposed to monopolies. We are in favor of that course and policy hich give the greatest good tq the greatest number. The Democratic party legislates for all the people, and while we are not able now to accomplish much, from the fact that the Senate of the United States is Republican and the President is Republican, we can, at least, through the House of Rep resentatives, control the purse strings and have an economical approoriation of public money bj withholding extravagant and un necessary appropriations. Applause. In this section of the country I am in formed that your industries are growing. I consratulate you upon the fact. The Demo cratic party is in favor of the reasonable en gagement of all the industrial interests of this country not by takinir monev out of one man's pocket to place it in another'e.but by Just and reasonable and fair legislation. We make no war upon any of the indus tries or the land. Our platform states our position, anl, while I do not intend' to argue it here at this time, I simply say to you that tne industries of the country, yours here and elsewhere, will be, as they always have been, safe in the hands of the great partv that has always built up the State of irginia, and is entitled to con trol this great country of ours. Applause. I bring you upon this occasion the good wishes of the people of the Empire State. Applause. To-dav we have not a Repub lican State official, from one end or the State to the other, elected by tbe people at large. Applause and cheers. We have a Demo cratic Legislature in both branches for the first time for many years. Applause. No Walk-Over for thetnocracy. Our Republican friends have kept control oi the State for many years, so far as its legislative branch is concerned, becanso they have refused an enumeration of its Inhabitants: but I can safely assure our Democratic friends in this section of Vir ginia, that it is the Aaat you have seen, in my Judgment, or a Republican Legislature in the Empire State. Cheers. Bear in mind, fellow oltizens, that the con test is to come. You have not an easy fight. The enemy is intrenched. They have the possession or the Government, and they will use it ror all it is worth. Laughter. The candidate of the other side will probably be the present occupant of the White Uouse, and. my friends, surrounded as he is with all the power of this great Government, it will not be easy to dislodge him or his party. It is not enough that the majority of the people believe in Democratic principles. It is not enough that the sentiment of the people is with us. There must be organization in every school district, in every town, in every county throughout your State and throughout the country. The party that is best organ ized, in my judgment, will in the fight this coming fall. Therefore, in parting from yon, I simply desire to say a fewpratical -nords on organizing for the fight that is to come: Organize your people; instruct them; cir culate your documents; subscribe to your newspapers.; inform tbe people; agitate: agi tate and organize everywhere. If this be done, we can rejoice this fall, in my judg ment, in the redemption of the country. Cheers. Hill Proceeds on His Journey. At Kadford, Va., a city of 6,000 popula tion, the train stopped for three minutes. A delegation boarded the train and insisted that Senator Hill should address the people briefly. The Senator stepped out upon the platform and made a short speech. He was greeted with loud cheers. The chief demonstration of the afternoon was at Bristol, where Mr. Hill was escorted to a convenient stand. He spoke as fol lows: When I view this vastcrowd I realize that this country is growing. I never did take much stock in Mr. Porter's census, and I don't know bow much population he gives this city, but I'm inclined to think you ought to have a new count. Cheers. I realize also that I am passing through the Xew South. I am informed that this town is situated partly in Virginia and partly in .Pennsyl vania. You have here, thetefore, a divided allegiance, but I am sure that while your allegiance may be divided be tween the two States you are loyal to our common country, which embraces all the States. Cheers. In this vast audience there are, undoubtedly, citizens of all parties, but I assume that the greater por tion belong to the grand old Democratic or ganization, to which J. am proud to belong. About a year ago you gave a welcome, a grand and magnificent one, to the President of our country. Giving Harrison His Dae. It was fitting and proper that he should have such a welcome at the hands of the citizens of this town, not only because of his high character, but because of the exalted place hich he'occupies by the suf frages or tbe American people. Applause. It Is one of the distinguishing traits of our people, or all parties and of all sections, that they havo proper respect for constituted nutbority. -.Therefore, I rejoice that you gave the Presi dent of our Republic the welcome that was his due. I might well say that the light of vour furnaces lights the path of your railroad from ono end of it to another. There is iron to right or us, iron to Itrt or us, iron in front ot us, and iron all around us. The development or your iron In dustry constitutes ono or your sources of wealth. I observe that there has been printed on this pamphlet a portion of a speech or President Harrison, which be de livered here at the timo or his reception. Permit me to quote a Tew sentences from that speech. He said: What hinders u Irom securing the market of our own great population from successful competi tion in the market or the world? What hinders our people, possessing every element or material wealth and endowed with lm entire genius usiur- Sacsed, from again stein tbe merchant marine ylng the flag or our country and carrying its commerce into every sea and CTerr portr Permit me to say to the President and his V artv that 1 can tell them what is to inrtVr. It is the Republican legislation of. ti n t 55 or 30 vears: the legislation vinrii has built up the Darrlers to the greater com merce: legislation which, instead or giving us freer and wider markets, has restricted tnem. Our Flag in the Good Old Times. That is the reason that the farmers and tbe manufacturer of this portion of the country, as well as of the whole United States, have not entered in to successful com petition In the markets of the world. He speaks of the desirability, of hav ing our merchant marine flying tbe flag of our common country everywhere. I beg to remind him that in the good old days of Democratic rule the flag or our conn try used to fly on the merchant marine every where throughout tbe globe, and It is only the narrow, restrictive, partisan policy of the party nowin power that has prevented our commerce frpm thus spreading around th frlnbe. I trust the time will come when our com- morce will be freer than it is now. I trust the time will come when the barriers of legislation which restrict and hamper our industries and embarrass our busi ness will be removed. That time will come, in my judgment, when we shall have that Democratio victory next fall for which wo are all now praying. Cheers. I think, my friends, that the time Is ripe for the express mani festation of a bold, vigorous and aggressive Democracy. Applause. The Reception at Knoxvllle. The train made several stops, daring which the Senator spoke a few words of greeting to assembled thousands, until Knorville was reached at Gr.M. Here he spoke to the largest crowd which he has met on his trip. In his speech Mr. Hill said: We do not want taxation imposed except for public purposes. Cheers. We want no Government partnership with private in terests. Applause. We believe in up holding and sustaining and encouraging all the industries of this great land, but we do not believe in rob bing Peter to pay Paid. Great Applause. At the conclnsion of this speech the train proceeded on its journey to the capital ol Mississippi aillls'lpartlsans Snub Hilt. AuSTnr, Tex., March 14. The defeat of the resolution inviting ex-Governor Hill, of Xew York, to address the Legislature of this State, is attributed to a disposition of the Mills men in the House to even up against Hill on account of his supposed In fluence at "Washington against Mills fir the speakership. DB. SCUDDEK'S FIEST TBIAL. The Husband of His Victim and a Phjslclan Testify Against Him. Chicago, March 14. The preliminary arrignment of Dr. Scudder on the charge of mnrder took place this afternoon before Justice Brayton. The prisoner was brought into court supported on either side by a policeman, and seemed unable to move without their assistance. He was ashy pale, his eyes u cro closed and he gave no sign that he realized the situation. He re mainded in 'a seeming stupor throughout the proceedings, except "when a portion of the skull of the murdered woman was ex hibited in evidence. Two witnesses were examined F. "EL Dunton, the husband of the victim, and Br. Palmer, who conducted the autopsy. Mr. Dunton told of the prisoner's supposed at tempt to poison him, the suspicious actions of Dr. Scudder the morning of Mrs. Dun ton's death, and the endeavor of the pris oner before her burial to take from the house the box ccr.taining her will. A curious fact, not heretofore Drought out, was that the sleeves of Mr. Dunton's night shirt were spotted with blood after the discovery that his wife had been injured. The testimony of Dr. Palmer was, iu effect, that Mrs. Dun ton's death, beyond all doubt, was from be ing pounded upon the head. The examina tion will be resumed to-morrow. 1HE BIO GKANDE TEBEOBIZED, Not by Garza's Outlaws, but by Captain Bourke's American Troops. Sak Axtonio, March 14. The situation on the Lower Rio Grande is assuming a most serious aspect Complaints from 80 citizens concerning the alleged unjust ac tion ot certain United States troops con tinue to pour in from all quarters of the turbulent territory, and if these reports are to be believed the whole Mexican popula tion of the Texas frontier are terror-stricken. It is said many of the citizens of that section are anxious to put themselves to the expense of a leal examination rather than undergo the treatment which they allege to have received at the hands of the troops. A number of prominent Mexican ranch men who have been accused in an indirect manner of being identified with the late Garza revolutionary fiasco will arrive here this week to learn whether or not any com; plaint has been made against them before the Federal authorities. Robert Summer lin, who is the legal representative of all the wealthy ranchmen who have'so far been arrested, has gone into the matter with a view to making a strong legal fight, and has already preferred some very sensational charges, backed by affidavits, before Presi dent Harrison against Captain John G. Bourkc. A FLAW IN THE LAW. The Act of New Jersey Legalizing the Heading Deal Probably in Vain. Trenton, N. J., March 14. It was dis covered to-day that there is probably a grave constitutional omission in the pro ceedings of the Legislature in passing the bill on the last day of the session legalizing the recent combination of the Beading Railroad deal. Information received in this city to-night is to the effect that counsel for the Pennsyl vania railroad at a meeting of head officials in Philadelphia stated that the bill is clearly unconstitutional in that notice of the introduction of the bill had not been published in any legal newspaper, and that the bill is clearly of the class of special bills, the passage of, which are prohibited. It is expected that Governor Abbett will sign the bill to-morrow, making it a law. The Avery College Movement. A meeting of the United Ministers' Coun cil, comppsed of the pastors of the colored Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian Churches of this vicinity, was held in the Wylie Avenue A. M. E. Church to con sider the future of the Avery College. This college, for colored boys, was to be sus tained by the Avery bequest. It was oper ated for a time and then closed. Recently a reopening has been agitated and the meet ing yesterday was to consider this question. The sentiment was entirely in favor of put ting the college in operation again, and the Rev. Messrs. R. S, Laws, G. C. SampsOn and J. H Trimble were appointed a com mittee to make arrangements for a public meeting to agitate the question. , STUMBLED OVEB THE STATUTES. John Fbisbey, colored, was arrested by Officer Terry last night for stealing a pair of shoes from a store on Wylie avenue. He k as locked up in the Eleventh ward station. Thomas Hall and Antony Pool were ar rested by Officers Welsh and Hanly yester day afternoon and locked up in the Hazel wood police station for fighting on Sylvan avenue. Twenty-third ward. Both were badly used up. Frask Killed, of Soho, 21 years old, was fished out of tne Monongahela river at tbe foot of Twenty-second street, by Officer Brown. He was almost dead, and at a late hour last night was unable to explain how he got intotho water. Nettie Johnstoi? and Ambrose Bird live out Fenn avenue and are bad friends. Last evening Bird forced his way into her house and struck her. The woman picked up a sewing machine and felled film to the floor. Then both were arrested. Thoy are power ful people. Joseph Midglet, of Allegheny, had a hear ing last night before Alderman Cahlll on a charge or cruelty to his wife and child, pre ferred by Agent O'Brien.

Bunting and Flags Decorated Practically Every Building. AN ENJOYABLE TIME IN THE ETENING Clouds of bunting and thousands of flags, decorated with bright ribbons of every con ceivable hue, floated from the windows and doorways of nearly every house and store on the Southside all day yesterday. It was a regular gala day for the residents, and throngs of people crowded the principal thoroughfares from early morn until long after midnight. The entire district pos sessed a holiday appearance. The occasion was the dedication of the new Turner Hall on South Thirteenth street, between Carson and Sarah, whioh has just recently been com pleted at a cost of $45,000. The headquarters for the day were at Birmingham hall on Jane street Magistrate Succop, acted in the capacity of chief marshall, and as soon as he had discharged his public duties he donned his high silk hat and rushed to headquarters where his time was employed for several hours issuing orders to his assistants and superintending the preliminary arrangements attending the street exercises. Societies from Neighboring Towns. As early as 10 o'clock In the morning the turner societies of the surrounding towns began to arrive. These were escorted or directed to the Birmingham hall. Here they were arranged into line and shortly before S o'clock the procession moved. The order of the parade was as follows: Birmingham Turners. Mounted Police. Chief Marshal Succop with a mounted staff. Five open carriages containing the district officers, speakers and Building Commission. The various societies) ot visiting Turners from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia.- The latter part of the procession was made up entirely of the Southside Turners, which was, perhaps, the feature of the Iiarade. There were nearly j$,000 men in ine, and these marched to the lively tunes furnished by seven of the leading bands of the city. The route was from Birmingham Hall to Twenty-eighth street, to Carson to Tenth, to Sarah and hence to the new hall, on Thirteenth street At 4 o'clock the head of the procession reached the hall and the men filed into the building, after which they proceeded di rectly to the spacious music hall on the sec ond floor. Here already had a large erowd oi ladies and children gathered to witness the dedicatory exercises. The men were speedily ushered to their seats, and after a few minutes delay the ceremonies were com menced. The Delivery of the Keys. The programme began with a choice musi cal selection rendered by the Germania Band, and upon its completion Mr. Seibert, the contractor, made a short address, in which he said his work had now been com pleted and he wis prepared to deliver the keys over to the society. At this point Mr. Kaiser stepped forward and in behalf of the organization accepted the keys and made a short congratulatory speech, com mending the work of the contractor. Ho also said the Southside Turners were pleased with their building and were proud to know that it was ready for occupancy. According to the' programme which was arranged several days ago Mayor Gourley was to have been present to make the salu tatory address, but at the last moment it was reported that he would be unable to at tend, and Prof. John Golden, or the Twenty-ninth ward school, was asked to take his place. The latter kindly responded, and interested his listeners with a brief history of the Turner societies in general and the good work they had accomplished in this country since their arrival. Following this a number of select singers Irom the various organizations throughout the city sang the "Star Spangled Banner" in the German language, under the direction of George Pfisterer. The music was well ren dered and heartily enjoyed by everyone present Some Very Enjoyable Features. The last feature' of the programme was the dedicatory address. It was delivered by Mr. Gdtfried Ihsen. He held the attention of the people for probably one half hour when the assemblage was dismissed. Im mediately after the close of the exercises the members of the Southside Turners, to gether with the large number ot invited guests, repaired to the lower floor where re freshments were served. For the next three hours there were no restrictions placed upon the merrymakers, and that they" all' thor oughly enjoyed themselves was proven by the broad 6niiles upon every face. At 8 o'clock there was a concert, with a very elaborate programme. The feature of the entertainment without a doubt was the horizontal bar performance, but the pole vaulting and club swinging and the calisthenics by the pupils of the Bedford School also deserve honorable men tion, and the participants received their share of the applause. At the close of the entertainment the hall was cleared, and the floor made ready for dancing. Ladies with their escorts began arriving in large num bers about this time and at 11 o'clock the hall was crowded with dancers. All present enjoyed themselves hugely, and it was not until daylight that the building was finally cleared of its merry gathering. Chile's New Ministry. Washington, March 14. Senor Montt, the Chilean Minister, received a cable message from Santiago to-day announcing the formation of a new Chilean Ministry, as follows: Juan Castellon, Minister of For eign Affairs; Eduardo Matte, Minister of the Interior; Gaspar Torro, Minister of Jus tice; Jorge Biesco, Minister of Industry; Augustin Edwards, Minister of Treasury, and Luis Barros, Minister of War. A Blizzard in Kansas. Kansas City, March 14. The blizzard continues to-night with unabated fierceness. The fall of snow varies in Kansas from 6 to 8 inches on the level, which is proving very troublesome to the railroads. The evening trains for the West are bulletined late from one to four hours, and some of them are posted as "indefinite." Dr. D. Hayes Agnew Seriously 111. Philadelphia, March 14. Dr. D.

An Amusing Flay From Paris 'With Clever Actors in the Cast The Cadi Full of Bill Nyelsms Paulding's New Melodrama Staged With Beautiral Scenery All the Flays In Town Criticised. The operatic comedy "Miss Helyett," adapted from the French of M. Boucheron by David Belasco, the music being by Ed 'mond Audran, was given its first perform ance in Pittsburg at the Alvin Theater last night It is a peculiar piece, neither comic opera nor comedy, and perhaps it maybe best likened to an American farce comedy translated for the' Parisian stage and then re-adapted for ours. In the process the humor has taken on an unmistakably Gallic flavor and a plot of some amusing complications has crystallized. As to the motive, there is no denying that it is suggestive, but the offensiveness of the suggestion largely depends upon the individual's imagination. Miss Belvett 'simply tells her father, and the audience, that she fell down a mountain side, landed upon a projecting dusd, and wnue ner attire and her soul were thus perturbed was res cued by an artist, of whose identity she is ignorant. She and her father agree that sho must marry her savior, and the story of tho play is her attempt to find tbe "Man or the Mountain." She suspects ev ery ono but the right man, who happens to be the one she loves. In the original French the suggestion of naughtiness was probably broader. Trie Musical Fart or the Flay. The play as it was done at tho Alvin last night was chiefly amusing because of the actors' cleverness. The music was murdered cruelly. Tho orchestra did not appear to understand the soore, and oould not always agree with the singers as to the ohoice of key but the blame is bard to assign. Mark Smith, one of the best ooinlo opera artists alive, played the artist - hero with lots of spirit, and his duet with J. W. Herbert In act II. was the best ren dered as it is the best musloal number In tbe Slece. The final duet with Btlyctt, In which r. Smith bore the principal part, is also pretty. His other numbers were mangled uy tne orcuestra. M. A. Kennedy, a come dian whose unctuousness is a Joy forever, hardly has a chance to sho r his powers as the tubby Englishman who makes love like a calf to Belyttt, but his courtship was softly funny. The moralizing Quaker, who quotes unique proverbs at every turn, and cloaks worldliness with a sanctified air, is an old figure on the burlesque stage, yet as Mr. Uarwood plays tho character it has a novel humor. Some of the proverbs will be on everyone's tongue befoie the week's out. -"Flattery is cologne, to be sniffed, not swallowed," and "Maniageisa place of punishment whero some people are condemned to stay a long time," and "The wise man will take what ho can get," are sample proveros, and they caused the heartiest laui'titerof the evening. The burlesque or a fiery Spanish matron, nnd incidentally of La Carmencita by Miss Kate Davis was extravaeantlv absurd, and ar tistic too. Miss Laura Clement's voice is powerful, sweet, and well-trained, and all nerworK was artistic, ner last song being especially effective. Geonro Lvdlng also sang well. He has a pleasant tenor voice. Mrs. Carter's Looks and Acting. The title role was taken by Louise Leslie Carter, who startled New York last season by making a hit and her first appear ance on tho stage' at the same time. She Is a slender, little slip of a woman, with a piquant race, very bright eyes, and a wonderful crown of hair that is deeply, yet really red. She is hardly what you would call a beautiful woman, yet she Is distinctly attractive. As the Quaker maiden in the plainest of plain clothes, and feigning a modest shrinking disposition not really Belyett's, Mrs. Carter always looked the cnara&er thoroughly. Her aoting, how ever, is amateurish still, and her very clev erness in little details or comedy told too plainly for pleasure of Infinite coach ing. If she could get rid of the stiff ness, which reminds one of me chanical toys, her close imitation or the original Helyett would be much more entertaining. Still Mrs. Carter has done a great deal in two years. The rest of the company, including some Tory pretty wo men in charming dresses, was quite equal to the work. Finally a word again as to the play: It would be better if it commenced near the end of act I. That long preface of high kicking,, roundabout kicking, dancing and more kick ing, without a spoken word or scrap of intel ligent uctlon is enough to damn a better play. A large audience JangbeiLu great deal last night at "Miss Helvett" but did not go into ecstacles ovor it. It was a cold, cold house. PAULDING'S HEW PLAT. ' ' The Scenery Is the Kedoemlng Feature of the Struggle or LIT;. It is a good thing for that talented and very capable actor Frederick Paulding that the programmes issued in connection with the performance of "The Struggle of Life" announced ' him as a Shakespearean player. "We know from that an nouncement that he has -some real tangible excuse for being on the stage. But it would be still better for Mr. Pauld ing if he confined himself strictly to the field in which he claims a place. In that he is destined to achieve a fair if not surpass ing measure of succes, while in melodrama and particularly rr.elo-drama of "The Strug gle for Life" stam p, he is not certain to ac complish success of any kind. It is a pity that such a clever .performer should waste his energies on such material. As Borneo he earned attention and respect. In such parts as were allotted Uim in tlieJelTerson-Floience company hi audience, usually a cul tured one, undorstood nnd appreciated his efforts. But, in melodrama of the old "blood and thunder" Bowery pattern, he Is woefully out of place. Tbe more legitimate stage is in bad need of actors as clever as he and there he nhonld remain. "The Strug jle of Life" is the old story of a man wronged by his friend. How, after long years, the wronged man returns to his old time home tyo clear his name and honor and to have re jenge. Through many stirring scenes, or varying success and failure, tbe hero makes his way until, as usual, final and chmplete triumph results. Several of the situ Itions are quite good and as they are set in :i frainewoik orieally remaikable scenery, tjiey cannot lall or interest. Ifthetofnas nothing else to' he seen but that spleildid view of New York Harbor and Lihertv pight at night, iu the second act, The Struggle or Lire" would be well worth seeing. I lis unquestionably on of the finest bits of sago setting over placed on the boards. An addition, there is a view of tho river frclht, with shipping and a section of a great citfr sewer, and a viow'of Fifth avenue and St. Patrick's Cathedral, either one of which wjouldmake the reputation of any play on its spectacular morlts. Of tho company It can be said that it is on the whole- really above the ordinary. Mr. Pauldlng.l of course, perrorms intelligently; Mr. Gus Ltndsley is clever as the unfaithful friend, John BoUon-Lorley, and Sylvester Marketree,! a broken-down gambler; Miss Lillie Sinclair plays the character or a street arab, with considerable force. None or the othir parts aro sufficiently well drawn to give tho actors a chance to define them excepting Sthat of Mollie McCue, a good hearted, witty old Irish housekeeper, por trayed Dyfjurs. unanes reters. xuis is really tha best performance of the piece. Iii it Mrs. Peters lays a well-founcled claim to being one of the hestf dialect actresses on the stage. The plav as well received In the main last night, but derision o ome of the situations excited the tho gallery. THE CADI'S CHABMS Are Largely Those ot the Great Humorist Who Wrote the Play. If you like .Bill Nye's humor you may like "The Cadi," which was produced at the Dnquesne Theater last night, and you may not. , It is a singular composition.
