SUNDAY, MAT IB. 1892. C1SOSPBING, Adyentnres of Three Gentle men "Who Made 200 Miles Down the Allegheny IN A LIGHT CEDAE BOAT. Shooting a Eigh Dam on a Swollen Hiver in the Darkness. SAD DISASTER AT FEANKLIlf. lie Craft Twice Escapes From the Crew, Int Is Recovered. TEOEBLE FOE AX AMATEUR. ACTOK At 10 o'clock Inst Saturday ni?ht three pentlemen in white boatinflannels boarded the express train which leaves the Union Depot at t hat hour over the Allegheny Valley Railroad. They were Messrs. Ed ward H. Morris, the well-known iron man, Eobert A. Franks, of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., and Dr. I Litchfield, of this city. They thought they would not be recognized on a night train, but, as usually happens, the sleeping car seemed to be just packed with their friends, and the secret of their rather unseasonable raiment leaked out. It r-asn't a very terrible secret either. "When they returned from their expedi tion, with sun-burnt facesand callous hands, as they did three or four days later, every body who met them knew that they had been rowing a tidy bit, and battling with Eunshine, wind and weather. But not everybody knows that they rowed in a double working boat, of the lightest possible description, a good 200 miles down the Alle gheny river, which, swollen by the recent rains, was not in its most amiable mood last week. That's what they did, and they started for Jamestown, where the boat had been built to their order on Saturday last at the hour above named. Launched Upon the Conawanco. They arrived at Jamestown in due time, or as near due time as is possible when a change of cars punctuates the journey. It wa noon, Sunday, when they reached the banks of the classic Conawango, and launched upon its bosom the fragile craft that they had carried overland from its cradle in Gunsler's boat-builing yard at Jamestown. The host is 33 feet long, built of cedar principally, rigged for two pairs of sculls, and weishing no more thn 110 pounds. The launching of the boat oc curred at Frewsburg, five miles from James town. Dr. Litchfield and Mr. Morris bent to the.r oars, and Mr. Franks took the tiller lines and away they went down stream. The fkv was cloudy, but the weather not unpleasant. The dams on the Conawango were the only drawbacks to the first stage of the journey. Thev had to carry the boat around three of the dams, and 6hot the other two. In the latter proceeding they nar rowly escaped disaster, for they came upon one of the disused dams in the dusk ot the evening, and by good luck more than any-J-ftntr else slipped over an ugly chasm that Ea'ddcmy yawned before them without realizing what the danger was until it was past. Travelln- Tlirou;h the JClcrit-. The crew changed around every two hours so as to give each man a fair share of the pulling. In this way they reached "Warren, where the Conawanco is lost in the shorter and sweeter Allegheny, at 8 o'clock, and attacked supper ferociously. Half an lionr later they were slipping down the Al lecheny again at a good steady stroke, which brought them to Tidioute by mid n isht. It sounds like a rather ticklish ven ture for three men in a shell to tackle a franco river at almost flood stage by night, but no harm came ot it, and they sl'pt safe ly and soundly in Tidioute the rest of the nislit. Next morning they sped on to Tionesta, where they lunched, and enjoying the river scenerv and exercise immensely in the warmth and odorous tre'hness of an ideal sprii'z day slid through oil City, and tied up to the bank at nightfall, when they reached Franklin. At Franklin thev slept a little sounder than the night before. Franklin struck them as the prettiest town upn the river thev had seen, an impression that later experience did not alter. They leit mrre than their hearts in Franklin, for after thev had gone a parasang or two, as X"nophon would sav," they found th common flak was not with them. Their s'ippiv of tobacco had also tarried behind in Franklin. The worst of it was that the rain fell incessantly. Still they kept on, and bv and by made a landing at Emfcnton, u here a little station house on the Alle gheny Valley Railroad seemed to offer them a chance to enjov the luxury of a dry inter vil. There was nobody in the waiting room, but there was a stove at which they dried their dripping clothes. The Lltllo Cr-ifr Got Away. The boat in the meantime was supposed to be securely moored. "When the oarsmen came out to le-cmbark, however, thev lound the boat had cone offon a voyage on i;s own account. How long a start it had none of them knew, but they raced down the bank, and halt a mile away came upon a ferrv. The Charon of the locality was in specting the boat as its owners cams up, and explained to them that he had seen it drifting by and contrived to catch it from lii dock. It was 3 r. 3L Tuesday when they reached Emlenton, and they were so wet and for lnrn bv this time that they sent their clothes to the laundry to be dried, while they re tired to bed. Here it became clearly im perative that Mr. Franks must leave the party in order to attend the final rehearsal o' "In Honor Bound," which the SenicK-1-v Valley Club was to give on Thursday, and in which Mr. Franks took the leading inle Ro Mr. Franks took the train home, and Miss Morris, a sister ot the oarsman, in answer to a telegraphic summons, came up lrom Hulton in time to act as coxswain v hen the boat shot out into the stream the next, "Wednesday, morning. The journey from Emlenton to Brady, 24 miles, was ac- CMnlished in three hours the speed of eicht miles an hour was the general average of the trip and after lunching at the latter place, they rowed on 21 miles further to Kmanning, where they put up for the mtrlit. Iiefore they got their well-earned sleep they had the second adventure of the yova.'e and acain narrowly escaped losing tin ii cat The boat had been tied, when they landed to reconnoiter, to a raft, or ra,h-r lioivted upon the raft itself, which appeared to be made fast to the shore. The llnat Gets Away Again. When they came back from the hotel to make all snuc for the night, neither raft nor bnat was in sight They started in pursuit with small hope of success, but presently were relieved to see the boat creeping up stream propelled by the lusty but awk ward efforts of a gigantic countryman. In answer to their hail he put ashore, and Ihey were afraid he would stove in the boat's sides as he scrambled out, remarking: "That on could make mighty fast time in such a boat, but you were likely enough to be up set and drowned before you went far." The raft in the meanwhile was out of sight. The last day's voyage took them from Kittanning toFreeport, 16 miles, and thence Jo Hulton, where they made a final landing, for Miss Morris and her brother call that pretty place home. This was Thursday afternoon, so that the 200 miles had been covered in about four days, and without the least distress to any of the party. Some people had langhed at the idea of a voyage down the Allegheny so early in the year being a pleasure trip, but, in spite of the fact that they s.iw frost in the earlystages, and found no fruit trees in blossom in that upper country, the ironwood being the first tree in bloom they encountered as they came down, cherry, peach and apple trees gradually developing as they came south, and the dog-wood last ot all near Pittsburg in spite of the raia on Tuesday, and other minor discomforts, the whole crew enjoyed the outing immensely, and if their ruddy looks and prodigious appetites since their return to civilization arc any sure signs, they are heaps the better lor it. Plenty of Game, bnt No Gans. During the vovage tbey saw English snipe, plover, duck, teal, wild turkey, mink, blue heron, gray and red squirrels, musk rats and rabbits, but killed nothinc, for thev carried no guns, and indeed had to travel "in the lightest order possible. It may interest those who think about duplicating this excursion to know that the hotels at "Warren, Franklin and Emlenton were found to be good. A large public still nfky shudder to hear that from Oil City to Pittsburg the Allegheny river was covered with oil, and water from it could only be drunk when diluted rather than strengthened with whisky. Despite this superb incentive to be otherwise, the temperance of the party was such that one flask served the whole party, and that reached home half empty only by express on Friday, from Franklin, where it had been left behind. The only real embarrassment resulting from this expedition occurred to Mr. Franks, when he came to put the make'np on his face to give the necessary cynical tone to his complexion for the part of Sir George Catiyon in "In Honor Bound," on Thursday night. The incompatibility of crease paints and peeling nose was never brought home to a man with more telling effect. POUNDED BY ATOMS. Nikola Tesla Hearing the Goal Many Are Striving to Beach. TUEHING 0TER THE P0ST0FHCE. L Pullman Conductor Whose Heart Aches for Fussy "Women. SHORT TALIS WITH SOME UTETE0PLE IN A HURRY TO MARRY. John MeCIarren's Death at Elxmont Fully Investigated lie was Struck With a Potato Sznnsher After Breaking Into a House at SammarliilU The Coroner's jury in the case of John McClarren, who died at Dixmont Insane Asylum last Monday evening with a frac tured skull, yesterday afternoon concluded their inquiry into the case. Their verdict exonorated the Sheriff of Cambria county and the management of the Dixmont Hos pital, but found that the dead man had been assaulted at Summerhill, Cambria county, by Charles Bunting and James Topper and that he died from exhaustion, due to having his skull fractured. Sheriff Shumaker, of Cambria county, and his-attorney, Mayor Rose, of John stown, attended "the inquest The Sheriff is a handsome young man with a determined air. He told the story of his connection with the McClarren case in a detailed way, and he seemed anxious to have all the facts in the case brought to light. The Coroner's office was crowded when the inquiry was resumed. Thomas M. Mar shall, William Reardon, Assistant District Attorney Goehring, County Detective Beltz hoover, James B. Scott, of the State Board of Charities, Immigrant Inspector Layton were conspicuous among those on the lront seats. Acting Coroner McKenna conducted the inquest. Several witnesses were heard, detailing the arrest of McClarren at Summer hill, the taking of him to the Cambria county jail, and of his being brought to Dixmont. James A. Top per was the most important witness, and upon his evidence the Coroner's jury based their verdict Topper testified that on Sat urday night. April 30. about midnicht. Mc Clarren went to the house of Charles Banting, who is Topper's father-in-law. McClarren broke into the house and de manded that he be allowed to marry Bunting's daughter. Bunting sent fo'r Topper, who responded to the call and found McClarren with a potato smasher and a fire shovel, demanding that he be al allowed to marry Miss Bunting within five minutes. Topper argued the case with the crazy man, who finally struck him with the potato smaiher. Then Mc Clarren attempted to go up stairs to the young woman's bedroom, when Topper in terfered to prevent him. McClarren grabbed Topper by the throat and was choking him severely, when Charles Bunting hit the crazy man three times on the head with the potato smasher. The in sane man was then secured, tied and the next day he was sent to the Ebensburg jail. Two days later he was sent to Dixmont, where he died just a week later. The verdict of the Coroner's jury leaves the case for the authorities of Cambria county. The Cambria county Sheriff thinks the arrest of Bunting will not be ordered on account of the crazy man first having broken into the house before he was attacked. Much is being written these days about Nikola Tesla, the electrician, who is attract ing so much attention in Europe by his electrical experiments. His ability to pro duce a light without the aid of wires has startled the scientists of the world. "When Tesla was in Pittsburg last winter he said some day it would be possible to communicate with a ship at sea, or a man in a dense forest far removed from telegraph offices and civilization. He would use the earth, water and air as conductors, and by a series of sounds arranged beforehand, the message would be received by the person for whom it is intended, no matter where he might be. Mr. Tesla is working alone these lines, and his success so far is very encour aging. A Trio of Great Inventor. A gentleman formerly connected with the "Westinghouse Company was talking about Tesla yesterday. "Do you know," he said, "I paid a visit to Stanley, the elec trician, four years ago, and he was working along the same lines that Tesla is now. He is a genius, if one was ever born, and it is a singular thing that though rivals he used to say that Tesla was the only original man with the "Westinghouse Company, and I have often heard Tesla make similar re marks about Stanley. These wonderful minds have candid streaks in them that or dinary mortals don't possess and can't un derstand. Edison, Stanley and Tesla are the great electrical inventors of the present time. These men are continually grap pling with the unknown, and occasionally they push back a little the circle of dark ness that surrounds us. Now and then they catch a gleam of light, and add something to our stock of knowledge. "I have heard Edison say that if Sawyer had lived, he, Edison, would never have been heard of. He regards Sawyer as the leader in electrical thought, but he had a tempestuous soul and couldn't control him self. "While in his cups he nearly killed a man, and died in prison. Wrecked by Invisible Atoms. "But I am getting away from what I in tended to talk about. Stanley, when I vis ited him, was working on what he called a bombardment lamp. That is where light is produced and transmitted by the friction of atoms. The average man can't understand that, bnt physicists believe that the air and all matter is made up of invisible and indi visible atoms. "Wellthis was what Stanley was working at He couldn't find a substance to put in his lamp that would withstand the atomic bombardment In a short time everything he tried would be pounded into the smallest fragments. He had a theory that gun cotton would solve the problem, but up to date it remains a mys tery. Stanley then outlined to me just what Tesla is doing now. The latter has been partially successful, and he may be able in time to do the wonderful things that he says he will." Both Stanley and Tesla used to work for the "Westinghouse Company, and Pitts burgers naturally take pride in their suc cess. Great men in any line of thought al- J ways spread the name and tame ot a city. day seeing the Mormon lights and visiting Garfield Beach. THE IIKAL INSPECTION. Architect Fattbon Turned OTer the Gov ernment Building last Thursday. John L. McMann, of the Treasury De partment, made the final inspection of the elevators, boilers, plumbing, eta, in the Government building yesterday. This is necessary before the work is accepted and paid for. The building is finished at last, and Architect Pattison quit last Thursday. Mr. Pattison will go back to his old job of inspecting buildings for Uncle Sam. He is a Philadelphia man, but has become much attached to Pittsburg during his stay here. To him and Postmaster McKean belongs the credit of pnshing the postoffice to com pletion. Mr. Pattison says the Pittsburg structure is one of the finest public build ings in the country. New Equipment for the Panhandle. The Panhandle has contracted with the Ohio Falls Car "Works for CO passenger coaches to be used in carrying "World's Fair business. Superintendent of Motive Power E. B. "Wall says the equipment of the road will be greatly increased this summer. In addition to coaches ordered from Ohio Falls, CO are being built at Columbus and 25 in Eastern shops. Seventy-five locomotives have also been ordered, and they will be divided between the Northwest and South western divisions. OLEO DEALERS LINE UP.

APallman Conductor Feels Sorry for Trav eler Afraid of Heine Bobbed. "My heart aches for the nervous, fussy women who travel," said a Pullman, con ductor yesterday. "They don't get any rest, and they are sick and in misery all the time. "When they retire at night they are afraid to take off their clothes, and they are in constant fear of being robbed. Every time the brakeman goes back to look at his lights, or the porter passes their berth they believe their time has come and they are "in constant fear. The next day, not hnving slep; during the night, they are ill, and they can't enjoy the ride. "But how different it is with the old traveler. She takes off her dress, turns the skirt inside out, wraps her underclothing in it, and is soon sound asleep. In the morn ing she appears in a pretty gown with her clothes under her arm, and in a short time reappears from the toilet 'room, looking as fresh and well as if she had been sleeping in her own house." FIOWEES CAEAP AND PLENTY. A Wet Day Is Always Poor for Business, and Makes the Florists Sad. "Flowers were never so cheap and plenti ful as now," remarked Major Patterson, the florist yesterday. "The production is in creased every year, and there is more de mand for them. Flowers are no longer a luxury, and the poor can afford to buy them as well as the rich. You ought to see the large quantities of flowers shipped into New York daily. It is something wonderful how the business has grown. "A wet day is our worst enemy. People don't come out of their homes, and those that do have no use for flowers. A bright day full ot sunshine is what helps our trade. It is getting too warm for the cultivated violets, and they are a shadow of what they ought to be. The wild violet in the field is taking their place. Monday' Trial Lists.

MUST TELL THE STORY. Judge "White Orders Eefractory Witnesses to Testify in THE BALTIMORE TERMINAL DEAL If They Don't They Will Be Inerted for Contempt of Court CI.1IUS MADE BT THE DEFENDANTS The petition to compel witnesses to answer in the case of Amy Dn Pay versus the Transportation and Terminal Company, of Baltimore, came up before Judge White yesterday. The Judge declined to hear any of the attorneys for the witnesses, and thought it strange that the lawyers for the defendants should instruct them not to answer ques tions before the commissioners appointed to take testimony. It will be remembered that several local banks lost heavily in the Maryland Central pool, and their officers declined to testify when called upon to do so in the suit pending. Judge White decided that he had made a ruling that the witnesses should appear, and he proposes to have it carried out He says witnesses must answer questions, and if any objections are made, these can be noted, and then their relief is in the Maryland courts. Witnesses who refuse to answer will be judged guilty of contempt and punished. Witnesses Want a Fair Deal. Winfield J. Taylor, for tho Transporta tion Company, John Henry Miller and William Gilmore filed an answer to the petition. Ihey claim it was their right to object to irrelevant and improper questions and the irregular proceedings of the com missioner. Defendants, however, wanted the Court to understand that they have no objection to any proper question or legiti mate inquiry, nor do they fear the result of a fair investigation, claiming their dealings have been honest and bona fide. Counsel claims the commissioners acted irregularly in acting jointly according to the rules of the Baltimore court. The defendants' counsel then proceeds to show how irrelevant and improper the ques tions put to witnesses are, and in this con nection says: The Transportation and Terminal Com pany was a corpoiation organized to con trol constituent corporations (mainly rall load), which were being promoted by tho organizers of said corporations. These pro motions were being ably and successfully carried toward consummation when certain parties Interested, other than the defend ants, by their wrongful oondnct, wrecked me -terminal company ana it was forced into insolvency, and by the consent of a majority of its stockholders and or all Its directors, a deed of trust was made to Win field J. Taylor, who has acted under tho orders of the Circuit Court No. 2, of Balti more city, and by which conrt all his pro ceedings to settle its affairs have been finally ratified and confirme J. Plaintiff. vTant Their Money Back. Before the failure of the Terminal Com pany, however, and while it was, as plain tin's' own witnesses, Dravoand Gustav Lin denthal testified in this case. "A No. 1 pro ject," the plaintiffs, after haying every opportunity to examine Into the matter, and who were thoroughly posted by Mr. Linden thai, the engineer in chaige, mid one or the promoters, as to its status, became the owner of certain shares ot stock of the Transportatio i and Terminal Company. When the project failed, the plaintiffs wanted their money back, and on failure to get it out of the sale of its assets by the trustee, they filed this bill against the de fendants, coupled with many serious allega tions and threats both in and outside of the bill, all of which allegations, underafull ex amination of the principal plain tin", and also of Llndenthal and all other witnesses, they have utterly tailed to establish or Justify. As to the allegations of plaintiffs that de fendants wrongfully disposed of the assets of the Terminal Company, and thereby the plaintiffs, us the stockholders, suffered loss, which is tho pith of the whole complaint, there has as yet been not the slightest evi dence. As Viewed by the Defense. Although the plaintiffs thomselves have testified, and other witnesses as Samuel Bea, who succeeded Llndenthal as engineer of the company, and J. G. Caso, who was the Secretary of the Terminal Company, both being their trusted friends and in whom they chiefly relied for support In their alle gation, they have utterly failed to establish any one material allegation of their bill. In fact, their own witness Dravo fully testified he had no dealings with any of tho defend ants, except Mr. Miller, ana that this was legitimate and bona fide, and that he knew of no dealings to the contrary. The officers of the banks have testlfleil thev only had dealings with Dravo, which were legitimate, and have had none with any of the de fendants. M. H. Houseman was present from Balti more to look after the interests of the de fendants. He says there have been no material developments in the case. CHOICE PROPERTIES.
