1HILE today's hearing of the
Luxow committee was not
sensational, it was instruc
tive. The first witness," Simon
Rawitser, a dealer in raKS, testified to
his firm mint; the sidewalk for bailing
and shipping rags, and being slimmon
d to court for obstrneting the side
walk. Ho compromised with some
allied court officer by the pay
ment of two sums of $25 and $50. The
officer told the witness that it might
be settled by a little annual contribu
tion, and thereafter the witness paid
$10 a vear for two or throe years, and
the firm enjoyed lmmnnity from an
noyance and porsfontion, Then the
tariff was raised to $50 a year. The
money was always put in an envelope
and banded to the officer. The reason
civon for the increase in the rate from
$20 to $50 wai, the witneas said, accord
ing to his best recollection, that a new
captuiu was in charge of the preeiuct.
been made against him for encumber
ing the sidewalk. The notice Btated
that if the soda water stand was not
removed immediately on receipt of the
notice it would be taken to the eorpora
tion yard. The officers of the bureau of
incumbrances and the alleged com
plainants will bo subpoenaed before the
committee.
Nathan Levy, of No. 215 E.ist Ninety
eighth street, said he had a soda water
stand iu front of his house which did
not encroach on the sidewalk. A conplo
of days ago a man called at his place
and told bim that bis brother must
leave town and uot testify against
John J. Ryan. The witness said that
his brother would not go and the man
then told him that he would not be al
lowed te kw, p bis soda water stand
there any longer. Yesterday the
witness said be received a notice
from the bureau of encumbrances
notifying bim that complaint had
John F. Pnpke, a coffee and tea mer
chant, at 103 Warren street, said MV
need the sidewalks; that he had been
summoned to court once for obstruct
ing the sidewalk and fined $5 or $10
Since that time he bad not paid any
more fines. He had been summoned
again, but bis partner, Frederick Wio
man, who was a member of Tammany
Hull, saw the judge and got the matter
settled or excused.
LAW USED FOR REVENGE.
Another case of payment to the po
lice for the nse of the sidewalk was tea
tilled to by Inadore Berg, dealer in
woollen rags and waste at No. 172
Duane street. He said that he had been
fined several times for encumbering
the sidewalks, when one day he spoke
to the policemun on the beat of the an
noyance he had been subjected to
in this way. The officer told bim
that be would soml some one to
him who would "fix" the mat
ter all right. Another officer named
Kelly called on bim, and after some
discussion tho officer told him that it
would cost him $50. Ho compromised
on $25, and the money was paid in the
nsual way by blng handed to the offi
cer in an envelope. Tho witness there
after was subjected to no interference
in the use of tho sidewalk.
POLICE CORMORANTS.
Henry Schuche-t, sn old German
carpenter, of 42S East Fourteenth
street, was the next , 'tness. The
witness told of his having savod some
money and bought n little place in
Pearl street twenty years ago, which
he started to arrange as n saloon and
eating bouse. Une night Captain
Williams and a couple of police offi
cers entered the house, took the key
out of the door and arrested the wit
ness and his wife on a charge of keep
ing a disorderly house. On the way to
the station bouse Captain Williams
asked bim, the witness said,
what he meant by opening a
disorderly bouse without first see
ing bim, and said that if he (the wit
ness) paid him $75 down and $75 a
month afterwards, he could contlnne
to keep a house of disrepute. The wit
ness insisted that his house was a re
spectable one, and be refused to com
ply with William's demand. Tho
prisoners were admitted to bail in $1,
000. and that was the last of the case.
Williams threatened him with arrest
again when he asked for the key of his
house. Ho returned to his house, but as
he feared the police and did not want
to have any trouble with Williams, he
gave up the bouse and returned to biB
business as a carpenter,
THIS CATS THE CLIMAX.
George Alexnndor, a native of Con
statinople. 27 years of age, told a tale
of police blackmail and tyranny and
disgraceful neglect of duty wblcb at
tracted the closest attention of the
committee, From hit story it appears
that he kept a small restaurant at No.
22 Catherine slip. Soon after he
bought the place, a policeman called
bis attention to a small stand outside
the restaurant containing the uinal
sample steak, etc., and grnffiy told
him to take it in or pay $5 every
two months tor the privilege of keeping
it outside. He said that he could not
afford to do so, but tbe officer was ob
durate, and therefore he pawned his
watch to get the money, as the officer
insisted on the money being paid at
once. He paid the $5 regularly for a
year, or until about the beginning of
1894. Then he went into business with
a partner in a small restaurant at 3
James slip. It was while in that place
CONTAGIOUS
that he bad his worst experience. He
refused to pay for n stand inside
the stoop line. Shortly afterward
he saw a thief on night steal
a lobster irom nis winnow, no
ran out and caught the thief
around tbe waist close to a policeman
whom he oalled on for assistance. The
thief bit bim on tbe head with the
obster aud ran away, but fell as he
run. The witness ngsin canea on ino
officer, one John Adams, to arrest the
thief, but with volley of oaths the of
ficer told him to "go to out of
here," and refused to assist him or
arrest tho thief. The next Alexander
made coniplainst against Adams
at police headquarters, and in a
couple of days he was summoned
to polico headquarters to testify
against Adams. The result of that
trial, tho witneassaid, he did not know,
but be did know that after be made
the complaint against bim two ward
dotectives culled at his restaurant, one
at a time on two succeeding days, and
"baking their hands nt him. swore at
him and threatened to "send him to
prison," to "fix him," "do him" etc.
The witness said he was so afraid that
tbe police would "put up a job" on him
and ruin him that he gave up tbe busi
nees the day before ysstordav.
'You would not have such treatment
at Constantinople, would you, George?"
asked Mr, Goff.

over, went to Director Beitler and told
him the circumstances. The director
tried to got him to divulge the lieuten
ant's namo or tho name of the woman,
but without success. A letter was sent
by Director Beltler to Mr. Muhr usk

the police board and testify, and in re
ply Mr. jvrnnr saia he wouia not, nor
wonld hegivo the lieutenant nor of the

order a trial to proceed agaiast that
lieutenant, and if found gnilty ho must

Gourley formed here and march
ed to Walston at 9 o'clock this
morning. After reaching the
Bell, Lewis and Yates property skirm
ish linns were thrown out to renin -noiter
the eastern and western hills,
while tbe main body rested oil their
urms on the turnpike. Everything
was reported in good shape and tbe
main liody pressed forward to the town.
The streets aud bills surrounding tbo
town were deserted and everybody was
going along with their work as if noth
ing unusual bad bappeued. The for
eign element were orderly and ap
peared to onjoy the situation.
A reconnoitoring party of Sixteenth
regiment succeeding in finding one of
the Italian cannon on the hill side. It
is made of four iuoli pipe iron securely
bound to oak log. The troops yelled
with delight wlten they saw it aud
prize tl.e trophy highly.
Tho Fifth regiment and Sheridan's
cavalry are encamped at Walston
where the Sixteenth went into cuinp at
Adrian this afternoon. Tho Sheridan
troops will do skirmish duty between
Walston and Adrian. Tbe Sixteenth
regiment executed a highly clover
movement at Hammer abont daybreak
this morning. The men from Hontz

COMPANY STORES LOOTED.
Tho company's stores at both Rals
ton and Adrian were raided by th
Huns and Italians last evening aud
completely looted. Late last night the
typle and a lot of mine and railroad
ears at one mine were set on lire and
destroyed. Tho mine is owned and
operated by Jackmun & Ellsworth.
While there is a great ileal of excite
ment in and around this place, it is uhe
general opinion that thcro will be no
trouble of a surions nature. This af
ternoon about one-third of the militia
are marciilng through the streets of
Punxsutawney carrying the cannon
that they captured.
It is almost a certainty that Bell,
Lewis & YattS will make at attempt
to start up the Walston mines tonight
or tomorrow morning with now men.
It is ulso the company a intention, how
ever, to employ no itaiiuns either now
or in the future. At the present time
tbe operators of the Walston mine havo
a gang of men at their mine loading
slack under tbe protection of the
militia.

the entire works. The Sheridan cav
airy is quartered In tbe stuhlo of tho
company at Walston and the Sixteenth
regiment is stationed at Adrian mine
and occupies nn equally good location.

meeting at Lindsay, which wiwt at
tended by all classes of labor. At this

that tho big breaks will occur at onco

whom are in desperate circumstances

MR. GRAHAMIS INDIGNANT.
Councilman Want Too Many Passes,
He Thinks Spicy Revelations
Threatened inconsequence.
Slieclal to the Scrnntan Tribunt.
PlTTBTON, Pa., June 22. Another
tnngio in the complicated political
skein which has enmeshed the proposed
electric street railway proi:ctin this
borough has been supplied through tbe
desire of certain official friends of
President of Council Mangan to enjoy
transportation ovor tho contemplated
trolley line without the inconvenience
paying therefor. The version of
this little hitch narrated by Superin -tendut
Graham of tho Traction coin
pauy is that several days ago President
Mangan asked for three passes, one for
himBelf, one for Councilman M. N.
Donnelly ond one for Borough Attor
ney C. Frank Bohan.
Superintendent itiraham might have
concurred in this request had it been
the only made from oouncilmanic
quarters; out ha says it was not, and
broadly lnliuiates that wore he to lift
the Veil on all the overtures made to
him from various person occupying of
ficial or semi-official positions in the
government of PittstoD, there wonld
hi disclosed a spectacle of voracious
ness almost paralleling the findings of
the Lxow committee in New York.
President Siangan admits havinl'
iBked for three passes, at the n quest
of friends; bnt doilies having 4ono any
thing worse than that, aud evidently
dons not regard that request as consti
tuting a heinous crime.
What mikes Suporinteadont Gra
ham indignant is the fact that a few
lays after his rofnsul of tbe passes.
sixteen of the Traction company's
workmen wore arrestod and brought
before President Mangan, then officia
ting ns burgess in the absence of Bnr
gess Maloney, and were fined $3 apiece.
I. iter, when similar cases were tried
bofore the real burgess, the men were
discharged. Superintendent Graham's
spirit writhes at this contrast, and he
vows with solemn intensity that next
Monday night Attorney Bedford. John
C Eno and himself will go beforo
council and aim ill its innocont ears
with tales of thrilling woo.

LIZZIE HALLWAY'S FATE.
Will Be Electrocuted Sometime Durina;
the Month of Auiruet.
MONTIOELLO, June 22 Judge Ed
wards today sentenced Lizzio Ilalliday
to be eleotoouted in tho week bogitiuing
Monday, Aug. 0.
Mrs, Ilalliday slopt tho sleep of tbo
just and innocont last night. She nte
a hearty snpper. Her pulse, whioh
was 144 Wednesday morning, bud
dropped to 75.
When she nwoke soon after daylight.
young Boocber aud another deputy who
had remained in the cell over night
asked hor how she felt. She would
make no reply. She stood and looked
st the floor for a long time, and seomod
wrnpped in thought.
Court opened nt 0 30, the room being
filled witn men and women. Lizzie
csmo in with Sheriff Beecber with tho
same measured stop.the same downcast
eyes and the game exhibition of stupid
ity. She was pushed down into her
chair, where she began tho same no
tions carried on during the trial. She
coverod her face to her eyes with her
huudkorchief nnd rubbed hor nono and
strokod her chin. Judge Edwards' was
eighteon minutes in.
While ho was looking over the cod
Lizzie attempted to rlie,but was forced
down Jinto ber chair. District Attorney
Hill moved that aonteuce bo passed
npon Elizaboth Ilalliday. Fonroilicers
then held her up. The usual questions
were put to her, but she answered nono.
Her body swnyed in the grasp of tbe
officers, but there was no expression in
her face, no toar in her eyes. Sho
jerked bor hoad up and down, stamped
with her heel onco or twice, but at no
time raised her head.
She was closely watched by Dr. Ed
ward C. Mann, the professional witness
whose testimoby did so much to convict
ber. and he even seemed nonplussed at
her behavior.
Judge Edwards spoke in low, mea
sured tones in imposing sentence. Mr.
Carpenter responded to the judge's in
vitation to speak by saying: "I have
nothing fnrtbor to say." Tenrs streamed
down his cheeks as the jndge con
demned ber to death by electrioity at
the place dasiKnated by the state, in
the week beginning Mondav, Aug. 0,

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
R.
G, Dunn & Co. Report That tho
Improvement Continues Solely
In Decrease of Failure
New Yokk, June 22. R. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow: The;week hasgbeon rich in
promise but poor in performance. It
was confidently promised that exports
01 gold wonld cease, but tbey have not
It was promised that the eud of the
coal strike would bring immediate re
covery of industries, bnt partial re
sumption of work discloses compara
tive scantiness of demand for products,
while the miners of Ohio in convention
have repudiated the settlement and
eontinuo the strike, and in muuy local!
ties it lingers, and above all the coke
worm s swiKe diocks most or the iron
manufacture in the central region, less
thau a quarter ot tho coke ovens belnir
yei mi worx.
It was balteved that late ohmnaei in
the tariff bill would be more satisfac
tory to industries, bnt the new sehod
tiles have uot yet diminished hesita
tion. Ihe exports of gold havo been
ijti.ioO.OUO during the week. The floed
ol money from the interior, amounting
to about 100, 000 for the first half of
1894 continues to show the greatly re
ducod demand for funds, and at th
flame time heavy liquidations in re-or
ganizing railroads, especially bv for
eign holders, have operated a- a mag
net to draw abroad the unused coin of
the country. The treaenry gold re
serve is reduced lower than it was at
any time in Jaunary and government
proposed to ship lugal tenders to in
terior points against doposits of gold in
the treasury at ratB which virtually
constitute a premium on gold.:
It was confidently expected that the
settlement of the tariff rates on textiles
by the senate would improve the condi
tion of textile manufacturers, but there
is scarcely any evidenco of such a re
sult SB yet. the large sales of cotton be
ing distinctly traceable to mere weath
er conditions and to further conce
sious by sellers. Wool is less active
und rather weaker, with salos equal to
abont last year for the same week last
yonr.
There is much disappointment that
tho partial termination of the coal
strike does not promptly enlarge the
demaud for Iron and steel products,
which is evidently too narrow, us yet,
to support much increase of produc
tion, western orders are compara
tively liberal, though much smaller
than in other years, but no improve
ment is seen at Philadelphia, while in
tbe centrHi region the continuing
coko strike strino and grave uncertainty
bout the July settlement of iron work
era' wages causes much hesitation
Tho shoe industry appears to fare bet
ter than others in quantity of produc
tion, though mainly In the low priced
goods, for which most of tho manufac
turers have orders reaching woll into
tho future, while tbe medium goods
are greatly neglected.
Tho volume of domestic trade, mou-
sured by clearings, shows nounportaut
change, Compared with 1802 tbo de
creets is 18.3 per cent, outside of Now
York and 24.4 per oent. at all points.
The improvement continues in failure
