THE CLOSlNi) BAKQUKT.
Probably the most pleasant incident
in connection with the encampment
was the banu.net tonight in the Third
regiment armory. It waa the con
cluding event of the celebration and
eov.rs were laid tor 1,500. General
Louis Wagner, of Philadelphia, was
the presiding officer. An orchestra
stationed in a balcony played patriotic
airs throughout the evening and very
often took up "war time" refrains .that
were starte 1 by the old soldiers.
The sf making began at 0 15
o'clock, when General Wagner intro
duced Commander-in-Chief Adams, of
Lynn, Mass., who responded to the
toast ''The Grand Army of the Repub
lic." ,The head of "over 400,000 strong"
was given three hearty cheers when
be arose and the orchestra struck up
"Hail to the Chief. " Tht commander
was non-plused for a moment hy the
MOtptlOQ, but he soon recovered and
began an address winch wag intensely
patriotic and full of praise for the or
ganization of which he is the leader.
It was well received and liberally np
planded,
General Horace Porter, nf New
York, responded to "The United States
of America." After proceeding at some
length in a happy vein, the general
made a ten Rtrike by saying: "No men
ever suffered more than we have suf
fered from rum, rheumatism and re
bellion." This allusion was lustily
cheered.
In the absence of Governon I'attison,
"The Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia" was npheld by General J. P. S.
Gobin, past department commander,
Mayor Edwin S. Stewart spoke upon
the city of Philadelphia in a ''Broth
erly Love" vein and was followed by
Congressman Josiah D. ilicks, of Al
loonu, whose address was perhaps the
most stirring of the evening.

Terrific Explosion at the Repauno
Works at Thompson's Point Near
Paulsboro.N.J. One Man KM
Washington, March 2 The secro
t try of the uavy tonight made public
some interesting facts heretofore care
fully kept secret, in ."ogard to the
nrmor plate contracts of the Carnegie
comnany for the new navy vessels.
The statement says;
"Early in September last the depart
ment ascertained that illegal practices
were being resorted to by one of th
employes of the Carnegie Steel com
pany, limited, at Pittsburg, in the
manufaoture of armor for the govern
ment, nnd that these irregularities had
been continual for some time. A
thorough investigation was set on foot I 200 to 500 feet apart. The building
Pau-siioro. N. J , March 2 A
frighiful explosion took plaoe at the
Kepanno Chemical works, at Thomp
son's Point, near here, this morning at
8 30 o'clock, by which one man, named
L-tvi Ivi us was blown to atoms. At
noon tint danger of adjoining buildings
being blown up was so great that the
company had men patrolling to keep
the crowds back of the danger line.
The chemical works are aituated a
few miles from this place, and among
the productions made there is Atlas
powder, and for the safety of tho var
ious buildings they are located from
at once. It was ascertain that while
nil the armor manufacture I for die
government was good all excelling the
lowest limit of toleranc-i in the specif!
cations yet that portions of it were
not up to the highest pissible mirk of
excellence, which bv their contract,
the company was bound to attain.
"After some time sp-tnt in negotiat
ing the Carnegie Stn-1 company, ap
pealed from !the secretary of I the navy
to the president, who, on Jan. 10. as
sessed the damages agaiu.st the som
pany ar $140. H4 !)1 and the company,
Jan. 17, settled with the (Npartment.
There was no evidence showing or even
tending to show, that any of the
officers above those immediately sup
erintending the tempring and
heating were at .ill COgnilant of these
irregularities, but as the company was
responsible for the acta of its employes,
damages to that extent were assessed
against the company and the contracts
continued. The depsrtinent has taken
such precautions at this and all other
points where contract worif is being
done for the government, that it is bo
lieved to be impossible lor any regu
larities to occur in the future without
immediate detection."
The secretary nd la that the gugges
tion that tho imposition nf this
line had anything to do with Mr. Car
negie's celebrated lettor of Jan 3. jut
previous to his sailing for Europe, in
wbich he gave a qualified approval of
the Wilson bill, is entirely gratuitous.

Dun & Co's. Weekly Report Indicates
That the Bottom Has Been Reached
in Business Depression.
Nkw York, March 2.-R. G. Dun &
Co's. weekly review of trade tomorrow
will gay: With no more definite in
formation than a week ago regarding
the outcome of financial or revenue
disputes, perhaps more people have
come to the belief that the end will
answer their wishes. Certainly rather
more are taking limited risks in busi
ness, especially in stocks, It is usually
a good plau for practical men to rely
little on impressions which are assid
uously fostered in speculative circles,
where people rarely labor to lift pricjs
of things they want to buy.
A mure substantial basie is the slowly
growing demand for goods, caused by
gradual exhaustion of stocks held by
dealers, and this has further enlarged
the wi Tking force in manufactures.
The fall Of silver below (id cents here,
and, after a slight recoveiy, its renewed
weakness, have an unfavorable influ
ence on some markets. The passage of
the seigniorage bill by the house has
not had time to produce much effect,
but it is financially re-aasnring.
More works have resumed or in
creased hands or hours than have
stopped or reduced, but numerous re
ductions in wages continue to lesieR
the purchasing power of those at work.
The most encouraging feature of the
week's record is the continued decrease
in number and imp irtance of failures.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Assistant Secretary Ra?ncddt E.p uses
Cause of Worthy Claimant .
Washington, March 2. Assistant
Secretary Reynolds today decided a
case wh'ch will render pensionable a
meritorious class of claimants. The
case is that of Mary E , widow of Sam
ii"l II Walker, who served a term ol
ninety days and had been honorably
discharged. Walker again entered the
service and was commissioned, and
while serving the second term of ser
vice was killed, but not in the lino ol
duty.
Assistant Secretary Rsynnlds decides
"even though the words "honorably
discharged' be interpreted in their
broadest sense, and held to mean an
honorable discharge from each nnd
every term of service, yet death in the
ecoud term of service should be con
sidered as equivalent to an honorable
discharge unless occurring under cir
cumstances which would have war
ranted a dishonorable one."

Five Hundred Men Led by Neighbors
of Christian Ehlers Attempt
to Lynch Puryear.
SlROCDSBUBO, Pa., March 2 Last
night at 1 o'clock a mob of o00 persons
cougregated at the Monroe countv jail
nere for the purpose of lynching Rich
ard Puryear, the negro murderer of
Christian E Ehlers. The mob was led
by neigh tiors of the murdered man,
Jameg V Wilson, a storekeeper at
Mount Pocono, and Luther M Mich
aels, superintendent of a farm at
Shawnee. Word was received in tha
afternoon by the county officials that
a crowd from the vicinity of the mur
der, ten mil.? from Stroudsbnrg, were
gathering and would attempt to lynch
the murderer during the night and pre
parations were made for the defense of
the jail.
Twentv-flvo mm were sworn in as
deputies fully armed and placed in the
corridor or the .nil awaiting develop
ments. About 12 30 the crowd reached
town, by this time numbering 500 peo
ple, many of whom bad their nerves
up to a murderous point by the free
use of whisky. A blacksmith shop
was broken into and sledges, chisels
and the needed paraphernalia to break
in the jail were secured.
Speeches were ma le by ex-Congressman
John It Storm and District At
torney Williams, trying to deter the
mob in their frenzy, but without avail.
With cries of "Hang the nigger!" an
onslaught was made on tbedoora, using
plunks as haltering rams. Policeman
Weller, of the Stroudsburg force, with
the assistar.ee of Mayor Ediuger and
others, succeeded in arresting James
Wilson, one of the leaders, and lodging
him in the city lockup.
lly tbe,offioert,in churge of the jail the
mob was repulsed. The doors were al
most battered in, and if the mob had
succeeded in gaining entrance to the
corridor the gu ird in the jail had posi
tive orders to shoot, which would have
undoubtedly resulted in great loss of
life. As it was, Henry McLnskey, of
Jackson, bad his nose broken and half
a hundred black eyes aud battered
heads regulted from the free use of
policemen's clubs.
Is is fearsd another attempt will be
made on tho jail. As the mob left they
threatened to have revenge and pro
mised that the next attempt would be
more successful. The officials are able
to cope with any mob that can bo gath
ered together.

Wasiiinuton, March 2.
n FTER the passage by the house of
A the bill to regulate the settle -'
meats and sales of lands in aban -
u u uoned military reservations, an
inleregiing incident marked the pro
ceedings. Taking a place in the center
aisle, Hepresentatlve Holman, (Dem.,
Iud,i, the "father of the house," ad
dressed the chair:
He said that thirtv-one years ago the
Hon (ialusha A. Grow had left the
place now filled with so much honor by
the speaker at a period when the coan-
y whs in the throes of civil war. Now.
after this long period, Mr. Grow re
turned to the house, having been elect
ed last week a representative at large
from tho state of Pennsylvania. He
asked unanimous consent that Mr.
Grow, who was present, be now sworn
in, the certificate of the governor not
having yet arrived.
There was no objection aud, leaning
upon the arm of Mr. Holman, the ven
erable ex-speaker appeared before the
bar, ami the oath was administered to
him by Speaker Crisp.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
there was a gentle round of applause
and the members crowded around to
grasp his hand and welcome him into
their midst. After paring his respeots
to Speaker Crisp, Mr. Grow took a seat
between Mr. Adams, of Pennsylvania,
and Mr. 7 r., of New York.
MR MEREDITH CREATES A SCENE.
After proceeding several hours in a
hum -drum sort of way, disouising the
fortifications and pension appropria
tion bills, an adjournment was bad at
tbe close ot the mist sensational inci
dent of tbe session. Mr. Meredith,
tD.-m., Va.) had instanced the case of a
pensioner whom he beliertd to have
perjured himself to get on the roll,
whereupon Mr. Funk, of Illinois, de
clared that Mr. Meredith was not a
good citizen if he did not denounce the
perjurer to the authorities.
Mr Meredith took this to mean a
renection upon ms varaeity, and rusn-
ing over to Mr. t link s seat, shook bis
fist in the latter's face, while the lattor,
disclaiming auy intention to attack
the truthfulness of Mr. Meredith's
statement, with his fist uplifted re
iterated his charge or dereliction or
duty and annouueed his readiness to
back It up there or elsewhere. Tbe
two men were prevented from coining
together, but the incident caused much
excitement and a great uproar. Speaker
Crisp quieted the the members, re
stored order and the soene closed.
During the day the house authorized
a sub committee 0" the committee on
public buildings and grounds to visit
Chicago and investigate the publio
building question.
