SFICIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. J
New York, Nov. 13. The victor met
vanquished by the same mahogany to-night,
and the 600 curious eyes that were fastened
upon them failed to discover any sign of
enmity. Perhaps the chief visitor and the
chiei representative of the defeated didn't
look at each other very often, but when
they did there was nothing to indicate glee
about the former and nothing in the appear,
ance of the latter to suggest resentment.
The occasion of the meeting was the
124th banquet of the Chamber of Commerce
at Delmonico's. The fact that Mr. Cleve
land and many prominent Bepnblicans
were going to be there had been announced,
and the result was that Secretary George
Wilson had been overwhelmed with de
mands for dinner tickets. Mr. Wilson bad
not been moved, however, to include any
one who had not previously been decided
upon and money and pleadings were alike
unavailing.
Most of the guests were in the big ban
quet hall by 6:30 o'clock. They gossiped
in the ante-room until one of the Committee
of Arrangements announced in a loud voice
that all who had not been asked to wait and
act as an escort for Mr. Cleveland had bet
ter go to dinner.
The Distinguished Guests Present
Most of those present went, and among
them were Whitelaw Eeid, Dr. Chauncey
Depew, Secretary of the Treasury Charles
Foster and other distinguished lights of
the Republican party. Mr. Eeid had ar
rived early. He went upstairs in the ele
vator with St. Clair McKelway, General
Horace Porter, the Hon. Murat Halstead,
and a reporter.
The plan of seating the distinguished
guests was somewhat upset by the absence
of Secretary Elkins, who was to have re
sponded to the toast "The President of the
TJnited States," and of Baron Fava, the
Italian Minister. President Charles Stew
art Smith is away on his wedding trip, and
Vice President Alexander E. Orr presided
at the table on the railroad platform. At
his right sat Secretary Foster and at his
left was the chair for Mr. Cleveland.
Along the ri?ht side sat in order
Attorney General Miller, W. G P.
Breckenridge. the Eev. Dr. John Hall,
Whitelaw Beid, Chauncey M. Depew,
Samuel D. Babcock, Calvin S. Bnce, Carl
Schurz and A. B. Hepburn. As a balance,
on the left were ex-Governor Campbell, of
Ohio; President J. G. Schurman, of Cor
nell; the Bev. William H. Vibbert, Murat
Halstead, David M. Stone, Horace White
and Commodore Erben.
Mr. Cleveland arrived shortly after 7,
which delayed the banquet about 15 min
utes beyond Mr. Wilson's schedule time.
He was greeted with a round of applause
when he entered the room with Mr. Orr.
It took two hours to eat the dinner. The
diners observed the principal figures curi
ously. Mr. Cleveland was calm, almost to
stolidity, and seemed to be enjoying himself
in a very quiet way. Ot Mr. Beid it was
noticed that he was usually merry. Mr.
Foster looked serious and Mr. Depew more
solemn than usual.
Secretary Foster on Immigration.
The speech making began at 9:10. Mr.
Oir led off, of course, and was received with
applause. He proposed as the first toast
the "Health, Length of Days and Happi
ness of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stewart
Smith."
Mr. Foster said of immigration that in
tending immigrants ought to be rigidly ex
amined abroad before sailing. He does not
think that under quarantine restric
tions, aliens domiciled here, American
citizens traveling in the steerage, tourists
and foreigners visiting the World's Fair
should be treated as immigrants are. They
should be let in promptly if the medical
authorities pass them at Quarantine. "The
point aimed at is," he said, "to prevent in
discriminate immigration until the danger
is passed, and at the same time not to dis
cussion. Its merits are no longer appcarent
to those whose hair is on end at the solom
suggestion that our "business Interests" are
lying in wait, with numerous vials of wrath,
In comoltite readiness for those who arrive
at an unaccepted conclusion.
I am fortunate in oeing able to state that
my relation to tho Chamber of Commerce of
tbo State of New York, though morely of a
complimentary kind arising from honorary
membership, has so lamlliaiized me with
"business interests," tnat 1 no longer regard
those words as meaning a blood-thirsty
beast, nor do I have constantly before my
mind those children in the Biblical story
who were torn in pieces by Dears for dis
cussing too much at random the baldness of
an ancient piophet.
The President-Elect's Reassuring Words.
It is ontirely natural that my familiarity
with business interests, arising from the re
lation to which I have referred, should be
of a very pleasant sort and free from fear
and trepidation, for the only meetings I
have ever attended of the Chamber of Com
merce have been precisely such as this,
whoa the very best things to eat and drink
have been exhaustively discussed. I am
bound to sav that on these occasions the
dreadful beings representing business inter
ests have been varv human indeed.
I know you will not do me the great in
justice of supposing that I in the least un
derrate the importance of the commercial
and financial Interests here lepresented.
On the contrary no one appreciates more
fully than I that while a proper adjust
ment of all interests should be main
tained you represent those which aro
utterly Indispensable to our national
growth and prosperity. I do not believe
that any other Interests should be obliged
to feed from the crumbs which fall from the
table of business, nor do I believe that table
should be lobbed or the good things whioh
are honestly and fairly there, merely be
caupe some other tables are not well pro
vided. It comes to this. W e are all interested as
Americans in a common pursuit. Our pur-

to draw, perhaps not equally, but justly,
each receiving a fair portion of individual
prosperity. Let us avoid trampling on each
other in our anxiety to be first in the dis
tribution of sbaies, and let us uot attempt
to aporopriate the share oi others.
As I close I cannot refrain from express
ing my thanks lorthe courtesies otten ex

his, I shall remember with peculiar pleas
ure the friends made among your member
snip, and shall never allow myself to be
heedless of the affairs you so worthily hold
in your keeping.
Chauncey Acknowledges Embarrassment.
At ten minutes past midnight Dr. Depew
began speaking. He said in part:
I suppose that I am the only person pres
ent hero to-night who occumes an embar
rassing position. A man uoon a platform in
tbe heat of a political canvass makes a
speech which it is difficult lor him
to fulfill. Tho trend of events does not
create the condition for whioh ho has pre
pared his speech. I expected to be beie to
night attending the oDsegules of a distin
guished friend of mine. Ana I had pre
pared an eulogium which would have been
satisfactory to the spirit of the deceased.
Instead, I discover that I am a listener at a
Democratic ratification meeting. I find that
the places aro changed. 1 am the corpse.
But even the moribund have privileges.
A class mate of mine, who was a preacher,
found himself settled in a spirituallstlo
neighborhood. The leader of the spiritual
istic band died and his friends came to see
the clergyman and said: "We have some
thing of the old Puritan spirit left and we
think our leader ought to be
buried by a Christian ceremonial. TVill
you do itt My friend consented and deliv
ered the best eulogy that he conscientiously
could. The wife of the dead Spiritualist
arose and said she had a message from her
husband. She transmitted the message
which roundly abued the minister and
his eulo.'y nnd his sermons and every
thing else. One of the. mends of tho
deceased said to the preacher: We had an
idea that our departed leader would be beie
m spirit. Wo nope vou w ill forgive him.'
Mr friend answered: '1 will forgive him, for
this Is tbo first time in many ministrations
of this kind that 1 have been massed by the
corpse.' "
The Americans Spoke on Election Say.
It is the" American people who spoke last
Tuesday. They have pronounced Sir.
Cleveland's eulogy, not In flguresof speech,
but in figures which were disastrous to us.

speak as a business man, and I say that

way of accomplishing the next administra
tion's purpose iu this experiment. There
will be no obstacle in either House. If Mr.
Cleveland's policy wins, then he stands for

He predicted that the Treasury service
would suffer for a time because "my suc

make many changes of heads of bureaus

efficiency would soon be re-established.
Alter Dr. John Hall and Congressman

When he had finished the Chairman arose
and said: "Gentlemen, the toast list which

faithfully followed to the end. The call for
speeches is now opne to the audience."
Then arose loud cries for "Cleveland" and
"Depew."

The Strange Experience of a Blalrsville
Man Missing for Two Weeks.
Blaibsytlle, Nov. IBl Special H.
H. Xarnell, a contractor in the employ of
the Gondola Tanning Company, who has
been mysteriously missing for two weeks
past, returned home yesterday and is now
under the care of physicians. He made the
following statement to The Dispatch cor
respondent: When T left home I was in my usual good
health. I walked to the Blairsville inter
section and boarded a train. Beyond the
fact that I got on the train and traveled on
it I can remember absolutely nothing, ex
cept that on that train or some other I have
a clear recollection of asking the conductor
how much transportation was left in my
mileage book. The next thing I can recall
is awakening, as if from a long, deep sleep,
and finding myself iu a hospital. Attend
ants told me the name of the place in West
Virginia, but I cannot recall the name of
the town.' I was told that I had been ill,
and that some members of the G. A. B.,
having identified me by the button on my
coat, had taken care of me. I was assured
that I would be sent home, but I do not
know when or how I came. When I went
away I had $25 in iny pocket, my mileage
book and a gold watch. I did'not have
them when I came back. I do not know,
except lrom the fact that I am here, that I
really did come back.

SPECIAL TXLXGjULM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washington, Kov. 15. The authorita
tive announcement that President-elect
Cleveland is strongly opposed to the idea of
calling an extra session, and that he will
allow the first session of the Fifty-third
Congress to come together iu the usual
way on the first Monday in De
cember, 1893, has put a check upou
the ardor of the men who have
been loudly clamoring since election
for the immediate repeal of the McKinley
bill. The majority of Congressmen here
hesitated to give their views upon the ex
tra session question until they had some in
formation as to Mr. Cleveland's opinion.
Now that they know his mind, they do not
hesitate to express themselves freely as op
posed to a policy of haste that would they
thiuk be apt to result in unwise legislation.
The necessity of providing against the
Treasury deficit is generally regarded as of
much greater importance than the desire
upon the part of certain Democrats for a re
vision of the tariff simply for the sake of
making good campaign promises. The
Treasury officials admit that the deficit ex
ists and will rapidly grow and Demosrats,
without regard to taction, agree that some
of the big leaks must be stopped.
Tariff BlUs to Be Laid Over.
There will be time enough for all this,
however, when the new Congress shall
meet in regular session, and if Mr. Cleve
land should persist in his determination
not to call an extra session, he would no
doubt be indorsed by a large majority of
the party. There is not believed to be the
least probability that any of the numerous
tariff bills that were sent over to the Senate
by the House at the last session will be
considered by the Senate at this session.
It is hardly likely that any of them will
be reported from the committee. What
ever further is to be done with the tariff,
will, it is thought, be left to the Democrats
in the next Congress There has been some
idle talk about tbe Bepublicans throwing
up their .hands in the next Congress and
letting the Democrats do as they please.
What it is believed the Republicans will
do, will be to defend their institutions of
protection as well as they can at all times,
and in tbe next Congress they may not be
so insignificant in power as not to be able
to give the controlling party a great deal of
trouble.
Appropriations Will Take the Time.
At the coming session there will be no
chance to do anything but make appropria
tions, unless the necessity of the case com
pel some agreement on a plan for raising
more revenue. Certainly the idea of cut
ing the revenues still lower bytbe passage
of any of the lree trade bills of the last
session will not be entertained by the Sen
ate for a moment.
There is a great deal of shuffling of
accounts in the Treasury Department now
to meet obligations, on account of the re
duced revenues, and the appropriations this
year are not likely to be any less than they
were last. In fact, the Government cannot
be run on any less money as long as the
present laws arc in force.
There will be no river and harbor bill
this year, but money for carrying on the
contract work provided for at the last ses
sion will have to be carried in the sundry
civil bill, and there will be some large de
ficiencies which will fully make up for anv
saving from that quarter. With the
increased expenditure for pensions, the de
layed obligations coming in for settlement
and the revenues falling off because of an
expectation that importations may be made
at a better advantage after the next Con
gress has had a whack at the tariff, it may
be accepted as absolutely certain that the
revenues of the Government in the next
fiscal year, beginning July 1 next, will fall
lar short of the expenses of tbe Govern
ment General McMahon for Secretary.
General Martin T. McMahon, who desired
the Democratic nomination for Congress
given by Tammany to General Daniel E.
Sickles, will, it is understood, be supported
by the New York Senators for the position
of Secretary ot the Senate in place of Gen
eral Anson G. McCook, who has held it for
the past eight or ten years. The office is a
delightful sinecure and pays better than a
membership in the House of Bepresenta
thei, being worth about 6,000 a year be
sides controlling a limited amountof pat
ronage. General McCook is tbe only ex-member of
the House who was ever elected Secretary
of the Senate. In recent years the House
has generally bestowed its clerkship upon
an ex-member under the courtesy oi the
Senate, which, indeed, is the most powerful
influence of the body. No man, personally
objectionable to the minority, conld be
elected to any office. General McCook is
General McMahon's warm personal friend,
ana rumor hbjb ne suggestea. mciManon as
the best man to succeed him. Their rela
tions have always been close, if not inti
mate.
When in Congress General McCook ap
pointed McMahon's son to a cadetship in
the military academy, and the young
officer, who graduated in 1886, is now on
the staff of General Ed McCook.
One other place in the organization of
the Senate, according to the same author
ity, has been appropriated by Tammany.
Tom Coakley, the genial assistant door
keeper of the House, is booked for the
place now so efficiently filled by Charles B.
Beade, of Maine, that ot Assistant Sergeant

CARTER'S EXPLANATION.
Ho Gives His Seasons for the Republican
Defeat It Was Too Sweeping to Be At
tributed to Local Causes His Statement
in Preparation.
New Yobk, Nov. 15. Hon. Thomas H.
Carter, Chairman of the Republican
National Committee, has gone to Washing
ton. He said last week that he wa prepar
ing a statement and would give it out this
week. It is thought that he will give it to
the public in Washington after he has seen
the President.
Before Mr. Carter left the city he said to
a friend that the Republican party was
fairly and squarely beaten. If the Demo
cratic victory had been in certain localities
then some local or special causes could be
given. It was too sweeping to attribute it
to local causes. The Chairman stated that
the demand for national speakers all over
the country was so great that the committee
could not furnish one-half of them. Every
small town from California to .Maine
wanted a national speaker and the result
was many places were disappointed.
The Democrats wanted free trade and
they said so on the stump. They wanted
the tax on State banks repealed and they
did not try to conceal it. It was protection
and the present national bank system
against free trade and a State bank system.
The people declared in favor of the
latter. Even the weather, added Mr. Car
ter, could not be given as an excuse for
the defeat of the Bepublicans. It was
beautiful weather, a fact which favored Re
publican success. No educational campaign
could have been conducted with a greater
degree of satisfaction, as far as reaching the
people was concerned. Some 40,000,000 doc
uments on tbe tariff were sent to the voters,
and they had opportunity to study the ques
tion thoroughly. Mr. Carter's statement
will cover tbe above in detail, and much
more will be added.
IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION.
Powderly Says He Dors Not Favor Exclud
ing Good Foreigners.
St. Louis, Nov. 15. Special The con
vention of the Knights ot Labor was to have
been called to order at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. But just before that hour it was dis
covered that the hall engaged belonged to a
man named Delabar, who, it seems, has
been a bitter enemy of the order. A search
for another hall was therefore ordered, and
it was 11:30 when General Master Work
man Powderly dropped the gavel in an
other hall. After dinner the committees
were appointed and adjournment taken
until to-morrow morning.
According to Mr. Powderljr, the chief
aim is the restriction of immigration: "I
have thought of many plans on this sub
ject," said he, "We are not opposed to
good immigrants, and I have met some who
were intelligent and whom I liked. I
ssked one ot these once why it was that his
countrymen lived all huddled together, 10
and 15 in a room and in such poverty, and
he said that it was because when they come
here they are ignorant and poor and their
countrymen and Americans impose on them.
They can't speak English, know nothing
about the rate ot wages and work for what
their employers.seR.timo give them." t
Mr. PowBerly was asEed to what extenv
the Homestead troubles would figure in the
proceedings of the convention. "Why
should they figure at all?" he asked in re-i
ply. "That is not our fight, and I see no
reason why we should consider it at all."

A SCENE IN COURT;
The Defendant In a McKeesport Harder
Hearing Tarns Upon His Accuser.
McKeesfobt, Nov. 15. Special Lam
bert Bolenberg, arrested yesterday for al
leged guilty knowledge of the killing of
Maria Dell, was given a preliminary hear
ine here to-dav before Alderman Mellineer.
Young Dell, a son of the murdered woman,
who made the information against Bolen
berg, was unable to produce evidence that
would warrant the Justice in holding the
accused for trial.
The defendant was making a statement
under oath when young Dell approached
and stood near him. The old man was terri
bly excited, and turning suddenly to his
accuser, he cried: "I am not guility, and if
I had a gun at this moment I would kill
this scoundrel who has blackened my name
and disgraced my family." Bolenberg was
discharged and there was serious difficulty
in restraining him from attacking the prosecutor.

A Squabble on the East St. Louis Bace Track
' May Besult Fatally.
Si. Louis, Nov. 16. Colonel Jack Chinn,
the well-known horse starter, was probably
fatally shot at the East St. Louis track this
afternoon by Officer D. D. Anthony, of the
track police force. Chinn was under a con
tract to act as starter for the Eastside track,
but some time ago went to Chicago to offici
ate at Hawthorne. His son, Kit Chinn,
acted in his stead at East St. Louis. The
management of the latter track decided to
hold Chinn to his contract, and sent for
him. He did not respond promptly, and
when he did come did very poor work, so
the services of Starter Dwyer, of Guttch
bere, were secured.
Chinn this afternoon went on tbe track to
For Reinstating Evicted Tenants in

Londoit, Nov. 15. The life of the
Evicted Tenants' Commission has been pro

resume its session.
If Mr. Gladstone submits to the demands
of the Irish party, a hill will be introduced,
endowing the commission with the power to
reinstate evicted tenants on specified terms.
If the landlordsrefuse to accept these terms,
then the commission will have power to
to compel them to sell their land to the
commission. None of the tenants now in
occupation will receive any compensation
This is John Morley's scheme. The chance
of such a bill getting united Liberal sup

Cincinnati, Nov. 15. For more than
three hours to-day did the members of the
Cincinnati Presbytery sit listening to the
reading by Prof. Henry Preserved Smith,
of a logical and keenly incisive argument
in his defense. By way of proving his posi
tion to be tbe proper one, he was compelled
to show that for the position assumed by
the prosecuting committee, they could not
cite a single text of Scripture in support
The reader assuming for the time the part
of a prosecutor, patiently, one by one ex
amined the text cited by the committee in
support of their charge, and declared them
all insufficient to sustain the committee's
position. Prof. Smith read rapidly, with
vary little attempt at oratory, but with a
manner that kept his argument easily before
his hearers. The second charge, to which
ha devoted the entire day, is as follows:

Preserved Smith, D. D., being a minister In
said church and a member of the Presbytery
or Cincinnati, with teaching in a pamphlet
entitled "Biblical Scholarship and Inspira
tion," contrary to a fundamental doctrine of
the Word of God and the Confession of
Faith, that the Uoly Spirit did not so con
trol the inspired writers in their composi
tion or the Holy Scriptnres as to make their
utterances absolutely truthful I. e., free
from error when Interpreted in their natural
and intended sense.
Prosecutors Accused of Word Jugglery.
From this he began his arraignment of
the committee, thus:
It is plainly the intention of the commit
tee to assert that tbe Holy Sprit did "so
control the insplied writers in their com
position of the Holy Scriptures as to make
their utterances absolutely truthful i. o.,
free from error when interpreted in their
natural and intended seuse." Now, I ask,
why "the natural and intended sense?" Is
not the natural sense tue intended sense?
Or is the Intended sense something different
Horn the natural sense? I cannot help see
ing in this phiase an obscurity that seriously
murs the force of the proposition. The In
tended sense Intended ly whom? If by
tho Divine Author, we shall agree: If by the
human author, I doubt whether any will
affirm it in the lace or Peter's assertion that
"The prophets sought ana searched dili
gently, who prophesied of tbe grace which
should come unto you, searching what time
or what manner the Spirit of Christ which
was in tnem did point unto."
Or, If any assert that tho intention of the
Divine Author is necessarily the Intention
ot the human author, this nronositlnn olan
is at least debatable. For In the first chap-
tei uj icjiusi3, iut C&.UIU1J1?, it uuu naraiy oe
doubted that the intention of the human
author was to describe a natural week of
six natural days. Probably the majoiityof
those who hear me bold that tbe intention
or the Holy Spirit was to describe a geologic
week of six "creative days." So the ques
tion whose Intention the committee means
in their phrase is not superfluous: and in
that view alone, tbe language is .ambiguous
and should be amended, for If ministerial
standing is to depend on a Jujrgle with a
word, the sooner we know it the batter.
lie Quotes the Bevised Version on Them.
He then went on to object to the charge
that it was insufficient in legal effect in
that, while it affirms a certain dootrine to be
fundamental, it brings no evidence that it
is fundamental. Taking up this feature, he
went on to show that the committee bad not
adduced any acriptural text to support the
position they had assumed.
The strongest text ot all upon which the
committee relied was that in Timothy IX,
iii:16. where it is declared that all Scrmtnre
is inspired of God and is profitable for re
proof, etc He asked why the committee
did not quote the revised" version of this
text, which reads: "Every Scripture in
spired of God is profitable, etc." His argu
ment was that the word "Inspired" de
scribed the quality, not the origin, ot the
Scripture.
It was dark when he concluded and after
a brief prayer the Presbytery adjourned.
On the way from the church, Prof. Smith
met several enthusiastic friends, who
warmly congratulated him on his argument.
The prosecution will begin its reply to-morrow.

LINCOLN LEAGUE DISBANDS.
Ohio's Most Prominent Bepnltllcan Organi
zation Decides to Close Its Doors 31c
Klnley's Refusal or Patronage Assigned
as One of the Beasons for the Action.
Columbus, O., Nov. 15. Special Tho
Lincoln League, tbe leading Bepublican
organization in Central Ohio, at a meeting
of the directors to-night, decided to dis
band and make an assessment upon the
stockholders to pay the indebtedness.
There were 200 stockholders and over
600 members, with an honorary list
extending over the entire country. The
league has been the most prominent organi
zation ot a Bepublican character in the
State for several years, and its annual ban
quets with distinguished Bepublicans pres
ent have attracted national attention. The
league supported commodious quarters on
Third street with all the paraphernalia of a
clubhouse and restaurant.
The meeting ot the directors continued to
11 o'clock to-night, and there was a dispo
sition to not make known the action which
had been taken, and it is exnected that the
news will at least create somewhat of a sen-
satiou among local Bepublicans to-morrow
morning when it becomes known.
Among the inside reasons assigned for
the action is that Governor McKinley has
refused to recognize the organization by
any appointments or patronage and they
became disgusted in keeping up the Leaeue
as a means of entertaining visiting states
men and still not be able to appropriate
some of the fruits of their labors. With
the Lincoln League gone, the local Bepub
licans have no organization of greater pre
tensions than ward clubs.
Annie Householder was yesterday found
dead in the Allegheny river. Only 18
inches of water covered her graceful form.
How she came there is a mystery, which
the friends or authorities have not yet
solved. There is a strong suspicion that
the young lady has met with foul play, but
in what way has not been ascertained.
Annie had just passed her 16th birthday
and was a tall, slender, graceful girl. She
was employed in Bex's paper box manu
factory until a week or two ago. She then
left that place and was working some place,
her friends did not know where. Monday
Mrs. Householder dropped into Bex's to
see her daughter and was told that Annie
did not work there any more. This was
the first intimation the family had of her
change of work.
Henry Householder, Annie's father, was
seen at his home yesterday at Butler and
Sixtieth streets. To him the death of his

The French Ministry Takes the Panama
Canal Question Ont of Politics by De
ciding to Prosecute tlie Directors The
Decisive Straggle To-Day.
Paeis, Nov. 15. Contrary to previous
reports, the Procurenr General has decided
to prosecute the directors of the Panama
Canal Company.
The position of the Ministry was the
all-absorbing topio in the lobbies of the
Chamber of Deputies this evening. The
Government's decision to prosecute the
directors of the Panama Canal Company
disposes ior tue moment ot the whole
Panama canal question, and it is not
thought that the debate set for Thurs
dayif it occurs at all will affect
the position of the Cabinet, the
opposition confining its energies
to the debate set for to-morrow on the
Anarchist newspaper question.
Tbe names ot the Panama Canal directors
who are to be prosecuted have not yet been
announced officially. It is reported to
night, however, that Count de Lesseps, M.
Charles de Lesseps, M. Fontanes, M. Cottu
and M. Eiffel are inclnded among the de
fendants, and that they are charged with
breach of trust and malversation of funds.
The counsel for the prosecution claim to
have found in the provisions of the con
tracts and in the execution of the works
sufficient evidence to support the charges
against the defendants.
NEILL NOW NIL.
The London Poisoner of Girls Swing From
the Gallows of Newgate,
London, Nov. 15. Thomas Neill, alias
Cream, the woman poisoner, was hanged in
Newgate prison at 9 o'clock this morning.
The execution was witnessed only by the
officials of the prison. When the trap fell
a black flag was hoisted on the prison flag
staff, announcing to the outside world that
the murderer had paid the penalty ot his
Crimea. After being cut down the usual in
quest was held within the prison, and the
body was then buried in a grave filled with
quick lime in tbe northwest corner of the
jailyard.
Neill was probably guilty of more crimes
than ever Jack the Bipj.er, and in every
case so far recorded his homicidal efforts
were directed against the same class of
women as those operated upon by his illus
trious, but unknown, rival.

Washington, Nov. 15. General W. S.

days, and it is reported that tbe chances
are against his recovery.
General Bosecrans was first taken down

more alarming symptoms have appeared,
and there Is now a threat of paralysis. The
fact that he is nearly 70 years old, increases

The new mill of the Harney Peak Com

It has a capacity of 250 tons of rock per day
and will put 150 tons of Black Hills'metallio

The machiuery is all working smoothly

daughter was a mystery. This Is what ha
knows of the last actions of his childt
"Annie came home about 6:30 Monday
evening and at the gate she met her two
sisters. They said to her:
Death Sweeter to Her Than Home.
" 'Annie, mamma was at Bex's to-day
and you don't work there any more.'
"Did she tell papa?' was Annie's reply.
"Her sisters answered in the affirmative
and then my daughter handed them $4 60.
" There's my wages, said she, give it to
mamma. I am never going home again.
I'd sooner commit suicide than go home.
With this Annie turned to walk away.
The two girls caught her clothing, but she
escaped and started in the direction of the
river. My other daughter came in and told
me of Annie's actions. I waited awhile for
her to come home, but my waiting was in
vain. With my wife I went ont to hunt
for her. All night long we searched for our
child, but could get no trace ot her. Some
one said she had run down through the
Standard Oil Company's refinery to the
river. We searched all through the place
and walked along the river clear to Sharps
burg, but did not find our Annie.
It Was Only Driftwood.
"Once my wile thought she saw an objeot
floating far out on the dimly lighted waters
of tbe Allegheny. Igotaskifi and rowed
out, but it was only a piece of driftwood.
It was the first night our child had even
been away from home. I do not allow my
children to run about at night. Early every
evening tney came nome ana togetner we
passed the evening. Ours was a pleasant
family circle, and to have it broken in this
cruel-manner was a bard blow.
"This morning I again went in search of
the lost, but my reward was a sad one.
Early in the day I was notified that her life
less body had been found in the Allegheny
nearly within sieht of home. Two Sharps
burg men who had been out on the river in
a skift bad discovered her. She was still
lying in the waterwhen I got to the water's
edge. There she lav on the rock-covered
bottom with just 18 inches of clear water
above her. She looked as though she had
laid down to sleep. Her clothing and hair
were not disarranged, and the face wore the
expression of one in peaceful slumber. We
brought her home and not a mark could be
found on her except a bruise on the left
elbow.
Annie Was a Good Girl.
"Annie was a good girl and alwavs obeyed
me in everything. I do not think she had
any company, at least she never entertained
any gentlemen at tbe house. I hardly ever
had to reprimand her, and I know that I
have done nothing of the kind lately. I saw
her last alive yesterday morning; she was
then seeminglv in a happy frame ot mind.
Why she should commit suicide, if that is
tbe way her young life was brought to so
speedy a close, I do not know."
Mr. Householder took The Dispatch
man into the room where the young lady
laid. Tenderly he lifted the white
shroud from her face and as ha
did he was heard to murmur,
"My God, Annie, why did you do it?
You were such a good girl." As he loosed
again on his child great tear drops trickled
down his cheeks. When the "reporter left
Mr. Householder was still standing gazing
into the face of his daughter. She was a
rather pretty girl of tbe brunette type.
She had a mass of brown hair, which was
drawn into a neat knot at the back ot her
head ami combed down over a high, broad
forehead. She seemed to be in the midst of
pleasant dreams rather than cold In death.
Trying to Unravel the Mystery.
Everyone out in that part of the city is
excited over the death. Each person has
suspicions, but all talk in whispers. From
the fact that she was found in such shallow
water, many think that she did not die by
suicide. Dr. Norris made an examination
of the bodv. It was not very thorough,
and while he could not find any marks or
anything that would show there bad been
foul play, yet he thinks the girl did not
meet death by her own hand. Tbe Coroner
has ordered a post mortem, and then those
who think she had been drugged will be
satisfied.
One woman was found yesterday who had,
