SUPERIOR COURT OF APPEALS Matter Considered in the Senate Bills to Provide Imprisonment of Persons Sen tenced to Pay Costs in Criminal Cases Lack. Requisite Alujority. Bpeclal to the Scrantoti Tribune. Harrlsburg, March 12. The Smith bill making it a misdemeanor for any teacher to wear a religious garb or In signia In the public schools passed the final stage today in the house. The unanimity with which the measure passed was a surprise to its most san guine friends, only Uti votes being re corded against It to 151 for It. The most intense interest was manifested in the proceedings, und for the llrst time this session the gallery and floor of the house was crowded with spectators. Conspicuous among the visitors were President iluth, of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, and members of the legislative committees of the Junior Or der of United American Mechanics and other patriotic societies. 'At the last moment certain alleged friends of the measure tiled to kill It by endeavoring to have it sent back to committee. During the debate on the bill a conference was held in Speaker Walton's room between the speaker and certain other members of the house. Wr. Smith, of Philadelphia, by whom It was Introduced, was called Into the con ference and asked to agree to have the bill recommitted. He refused, and when a motion to this effect was offered subsequently by Mr. Moore, of Brad ford, the Philadelphia member called the attention of the friends of the bill to the fact that this was a move to kill It. and warned them against voting for such a motion. The motion was de feated by 119 to 61. Dick Quay Is here today and the story la that his mission Is to oppose the measure. It is said Senator Quay does not want it to be come a law and that It was at the In stance of young Quay that the confer ence was held In the speaker's room. The most novel scene ever witnessed In the house was during the debate on the bill. After Mr. Long, of York, had spoken against it as unwise, unjust and un-American, Mr. Spangler, of Cumberland, was recognized. Ite de nied that the bill was un-American. He said it, was ypitten on an American typewriter, was introduced by a thor oughbred American and that It was American from top to bottom. Mr. Spangler followed with his speech, which appears , in the Legislative Kecord as having been delivered last Wednesday, when the bill was under consideration on second reading, t'pon approaching his peroration he took from his desk a small American flag . which he waved above his head. This caught the house Instantly, and had not Speaker Walton directed Spangler to put It away, It would have provoked cheers. Mr. Walton explained to the member from Cumberland that a dem onstration such as he had made was unnecessary and would not be per mitted. Mr. Spangler attempted to protest, but the speaker called him to time by a vigorous rap of his gavel on his desk and he was ordered to confine himself to the question before the house. Mr. Spangler put away his lit tle flag with much reluctance and con cluded his remarks. Mr. Scyfort's Speech. Mr. Seyfert, of Lancaster, made a long speech in opposition to the bill, which lie claimed was taklilg the nation back two centuries to the witchcraft period. It was a disgrace to the civilization of the age and a notorious, wanton and pois-on-ladened bill. He hoped the legis lature would follow that of New Jcry . and kill the bill. Mr. Seyfert said there was not a member of the house who votes for the bill but that will not be ashamed of his vote before ten years rolls around, lie declared he had been threatened by members of the patriotic orders because of his opposition to it, and gave notice that he would not be bulldozed by men coming to the leglsla ture with demogoglc measures which were harmful to the public schools. He then read the oath of the American Protective Association. This brought Mr. Focht, of Union, to his feet with a protest that 'Mr. Seyfert'a remarks should be confined to the bill and not to outside matters. Mr. Martin, of Lawrence, spoke In favor of the bill. He denied the right of any church to go into the public schools and teach the doctrines of its faith by object lessons such as the habiliments of nuns. Mr. Martin thought sectarianism should be kept out of the schools. Mr. O'Malley, of Lackawanna, took Mr. Spangler to task for his statement 'that that man Harrity" had met three priests to consult with them about the plank In the platform of the last Dem ocratlo- state convention directed - agalnstfthe patriotic orders. 1 T Jl J nn ..., ......

O'Malley I am a member of the Catholic church, and I can say that I never knew a priest to take a hand In politics. I think the gentleman should be compelled to give the names of priests to whom he refers. It is only fair to the house that this be none. Mr. Spangler mado no reply to this. Mr; Holies, of Philadelphia, spoke against the penalty clause. He argued that there was a strong sentiment In the state for the first section of the bill j d It should be placed upon the statute lioks, but It was not wise, conserva tive or fair for Pennsylvania to add to H such a penal clause as this. It was as unnecessary as unwise, as the bill without it would accomplish Its pur pose. He said he could not vote for the bill with this penalty clause attached Mr. Rlter, of Philadelphia, warned .the house to take a conservative part In this, the first step ever taken In the direction to which the bill looked. He - also declined to vote for It unless the penal clause was stricken out. On the final passage of the bill the vote shows that as many Democrats i voted for, It as against. Senate Committee Favors I'orr Dill. 'The senate eduatlon committee has reported favorably the Farr compulBO ry education bill. 'A petition . was . circulated ' today among the lawmakers and politicians at the capital by Representative O'Mal ley asking the Governor to appoint E. N.

Foster were about the capltol today working the Coyle bill to create a de partment of mining. GARB BILL VOTE IN DETAIL. Tlio Measure Passed by a Large Alujority. Members Who Dodged.

The bill making a misde meanor to wear any religious garb by a public school teacher was the spe cial order for 11 o'clock. Mr. Long, of York, made a strong speech against the bill and was followed by Mr. Spangler, of Cumberland, whose speech was prematurely published In the Legislative Record yesterday. He scored the Roman Catholic church and denounced those who are attempting to Introduce sectarian influences in the public schools. He charged that three Catholic priests had conspired with Mr. Harrity to give the Democratic party the vote of their, church. At one point In his remarks' he reached Into his desk and grasping a small flag waved It over his head. Mr. O'Malley,' of Lackawanna, took exception to the statement about the Catholic priests and Mr. Harrity, and demanded that the names be given. He said he was a member of the Cutho- lic church and knew 'Its clergymen would not Interfere in politics. Mr. Spangler explained that he had read the statement. At this point Mr. Moore, of Brad ford, moved that th bill be re-com mitted to the committee on education for amendment. This motion was sup ported by Mr. Bolles, of Philadelphia, a member of the committee, who said the sentiment of the committee was against penalty clauses. Mr. Moore's motion was voted down and Mr. Rlter, of Philadelphia, then moved to re-conslder the vote by which the bill passed second reading. It was not agreed to; yeas, 61; nays, 11.

NEGROES SHOT LIKE DOCS New Orleans Roustabouts Murdered by Mob of White Men. POLICE BADLY FRIGHTENED The Hold Protectors of Peace in the Cres cent City Are Paralyzed with l oar. A Scene of I'npurullcled Humility. New Orleans, March 12. Another bloody riot occurred along the levee this morning. The scene of the con flict was on the river front between Ann and Decatur streets. Three men were killed outright while a number were wounded. The killing was done by a mob of white men numbering about 200, who were armed with pistols and Winches ter rifles. The negroes were about to start to work on the steamer Engineer, lying at that point, when white men approached from all directions .All were armed and many took positions behind box cars and poured volley upon volley Into the negroes. Those who were on the scene say that It re minded them of a battlefield, so fast and furious was the firing. The negroes were given no quarter, and were shot down like dogs. Not only were the darkles shot down, but sev eral Innocent persons suffered. Among those killed was Jules CllSe Carabee, a shoemaker, who happened to be in the vicinity. James Bane, the purser of the Engineer, was standing on the levee near his ship when the at tack was made, and he received four wounds, three In the heud and another in the arm. He wus fired upon by sev eral men, who aimed over the heads of three policemen, who were kneeling be hind some freight Just on the edge of the wharf. His wounds may prove fatal. As near as can be stated the shooting occurred a few minutes .after 7 o'clock this jnorning. There was a dense fog prevailing and this afforded the white men an excellent chance to do their bloody work. At the time there were only six policemen on the scene, and there were no arrests made, as the po lice were as badly frightened as the negroes. The attackers were com posed of two parties. A large number of men appeared at the corner of De catur und equally as large a mob came from the corner at St. Ann street. Officers Were Powerless. Corporal Devanney, who was in chiu-ge of the handful of policemen, or dered the mob to disperse, but no at tention was paid to him, and the mob began to grow larger every minute. Suddenly a shot was fired. This had a startling effect on the men. The first report was followed by five or six shots, and then 'the firing became gen eral. The smoke and the fog combined made the scene almost as dark as night. The negroes were on board the ship and hod Just raised the tarpautln off of hatch No. 2 when the attack was made. They were taken completely by surprise and their cries were pitiful. Many sought refuge aboard the Bhlp while some ran down the wharf and made their escape. One negro, It Is stated, Jumped under the wharf. It la Impossible to estimate the number of shots fired, but is It said there were about 200. After the bloody work the men hur ried off as fast as they had come. The attackers fired recklessly on all sides, not caring whom they shot. The white men came In a body, moving along the levee up town unmolested. After their depurture a large number of policemen under command of Sergennt Day made their appearance on the scene and cleared the wharf of the large crowds which had gathered. It was known that many men had been wounded and several killed, und a search was made for these persons by the police and others. Carabee was found on the banquette In front of one of the show windows of Lion's clothing store, at the corner of St. Ann and De catur streets. Blond was gushing from a terrible wound In the head, and he was quite dead. No one seemed to know how or where he was shot. He had been seen running back to St. Ann street, and Just as he reached the banquette he staggered and fell headlong to the pavement nnd expired a few minutes later. Sergeant II. Hevrotl who hur ried up from his precinct trt the scene, had the bodies of the negroes sent to the morgue In the paired wagon. One of the negroes was found on the levee at the hend of St. Louis street. The man was dead and lay In a pool of blood which came fuom a large wound In his head. The negro was running from the scene of the shooting. The other body was found some distance away from the first. The man had crawled under an elevated tank and there died. No one In the vicinity knew tho names of the dead men. Police Knelt In Terror. Purser Bane wns not given a chance for his life. He was on the wharf at tending to business when the white men appeared, and he wast about to go aboard the vessel for Bafety, when he wus fired on. Three policemen were Immediately In front of. Mr. Bane, and they knelt down and Beemed terror stricken. One man shoved the barrel of a pistol In close proximity to Mr. Bane's head and fired, and the purser fell, bleeding. Another man shot Mr. Bane In the right arm. Captain Wood of the Engineer, had Just arisen, when the shooting occurred. He hurriedly dressed himself nnd came on deck and saw moBt of the conflict. He says that there was firing from all sides, and the scene was like a battlefield. After the shooting, the captain picked up Mr, Bane and sent him to the hos pital, Captain Wood denounced the shooting as an outrage, and Mayor Fttzpaitrlek appearing on the scene, Captain Wood paid his compliments to his honor In unmeasured terms. Mayor Fltzpatrlck had hurried to the scene aa faBt as possible and was very much disappointed when told that there was no arrests made. He called the police together, and told them In a firm tone that whenever they saw a man fire shot, to get that man at all hazards. Continuing ho said: "You men walk along the wharf and If "you see any one whom you think took part In the shooting, arrest him." The Victims of tho Outrage. The negroes fired upon were In the employ of Stevedore Qeddes, of the Harrison line of steamer. It U said that the reason that there was not a sufficient force of police on hand at that hour, was that the hour to begin work was 7.30 o'clock, ,and the police hud received orders to report at that time.. The wharf at this point la al most totally covered with freight and nearby are a number of box cars. The majority of the attackers concealed themselves behind these obstructions. There was- trouble today at other points in addition to that above re lated. As much of tho violence which has taken place In the past few weeks has occurred up town and many of the cot ton ships load In that portion of the city, It was expected that there would be trouble In that quarter. At an early hour this morning, both white and black laborers appeared on the wharves and the feeling was running high. The Importation of negroes has incensed the white element of the population, and not only was an ugly feeling prevalent among those directly Interested, but also among the residents of that sec tion of the city. FOUR ITALIANS LYNCHED. The Murder of a Colorado Sheriff Swiftly Avenged-Trouble Ahead. Walsenburg, Col., March 12. Deputy Sheriff Hixon was brutally murdered here several days ago by a number of Italian coal miners. His head was crushed In and the body hidden, but yesterday It was found. Dogs were at once put on the track of the assailants and four men were soon captured. An Inquiry was held late this afternoon, at which the guilt of four Italians was plainly proven. At the close of the In quest, as the prisoners were ' being marched to Jail, a mob made a rush for them, and before the sheriff and his deputies could raise a hand to protect them the bodies of the four Italians and another man were riddled with bul lets. At this Juncture a general riot oc curred. On hundred or more Italians, seeing their countrymen lying about dead, became frenzied, swearing that they would have vengeance before morning. Both factions began arming themselves and are expected to come together at any moment. CHASING A WILD MAN. Cro,n Pointers Excited Over a Queer Creature Living in a Graveyard. Crown Point, Ind., March 12. Resi dents In and around the western por tion of this city near Wise's brickmak Ing establishment have been thrown In to great excitement for the past five days over the appearance of a Bupposed wild man. He has made his headquar ters In an old graveyard, a quarter of a mile from the public square. He was first noticed there Tuesday night by persons returning from church. They walked near to him and he darted away with the speed of a horse .and leaped over barb wire fences, live feet high with ease.. Nothing , strange was thought of this until he appeared In the graveyard Thursday and Friday nights. He was driven away as before. Late last night he again appeared, and visited chicken coops, going as far as to enter one man's house. He ransacked the house and left, not laying hands on an article. He was then heard over In the graveyard, his usual haunt. He had by this time quite a posse watch lug him. He was in the act of nailing up a sign when the crowd ran toward him. When within forty feet of him he dropped his sign and ran away. The pursuit of him lasted up to 2 o'clock this morning. He made a complete circuit of the city, and then started west, with his followers close behind. When he arrived ut Lake Seven Swamp he Jumped into mud and water up to his breast and went through. -He was fol lowed three miles west of here and owing to his great speed, was lost. He Is about six and a half feet tull and very lean, and those who followed him In the chase last night say no running horse could beat him. This morning tho sign which he attempted to null up wus found, and It threatened the lives of Harry Treinper and Henry Wise, Jr., two boys here. It was covered with daggers, skull and crossbones, and not a word was spelled correctly. It was signed "Running Bill." Another at tempt will be made to capture him. LEHIGH VALLEY WRECK.

AMERICAN FLAG IS INSULTED After Firing in Vain ut tho Columbian Liner tho Spanish Cruft Engages in a Twenty-five Mllo Chase No Cause for the Outrage. New York, March 12. The officers of the American steamship Alliance, which arrived at this port today, told the following story when the ship reached Quarantine: While the Alliance was proceeding from Ctflon to New York on the morn ing of March 8, she sighted abarkentlne- rlgged steamer under the land off Cupe Maysl, the eastern edge of Cuba, which headed directly towards her. At 7 o'clock, when about two and one-half miles dlHtant, she liolsted the Spanish flag, whroh was saluted by hoisting the. American ensign and dipping it, which act of courtesy was answered by the Spaniard. At 7.15 she fired a blank cartridge to leeward, which was soon followed by another. The American ensign wus again hoisted and dipped, but the course and speed of the ship wus not changed, as no hostile demon stration was expected, since the Alli ance was more than six miles off land at the time. The Spanish man-of-war was not satisfied, however, with even the double salute to her flag, but proceeded to chase the American at full speed, Judg ing from the smoke that came from her funnel. Seeing thut the Alliance was drawing away, she yawed to, to bring her guns to bear, and fired a solid shot, which struck the water less than an eighth of a mile away from the ship and directly In lino. Poor Marksmen. This was followed by two more solid shots, which, fortunately, did not reach their mark, though they struck the water in plain sight of the ship. At each shot, however, the Spaniard yawed to get the range of the- American ship before firing on her, showing an upparent Intention to hit her If she could. Captain Crossman of the Al- llanca said that, knowing he was more than two leagues from land, and on the high seas, he did not consider it his duty to detain his ship to find out the reason for the firing, and so ordered full steam, und gradually drew out of range. The chase was kept up for more than twenty-five miles, however, be fore It was abandoned. The captain expressed a belief that had the Span lard had more speed, or her gunners been better marksman, the Incident would not have ended so fortunately for his ship. Captain Crossman said he had written a letter to the secretary of state at Washington, giving a full statement of the Spaniard warship's conduct. AERIAL NAVIGATION. A Seaman in New York Thinks Ho Will Be Able to Solve the Problem. New York. March 12.-Johann Al fred Jouusson, a seaman about 2." years old, displayed behind barred doors In his boarding house a flying machine which he claims will solve the problem of aerial navigation. Jonasson got his Idea while bound on the ship Celtahaum from Cardiff, Wales, to Cape Town, South Africa, when watching a Hock of sea gulls. He had finished the rough outlines of an aerial ship when he reached Eng land again. He made an effort to launch his scheme there, but was laughed at by all. - He came to this country eighteen months ugo, but, discouraged by the ridicule heaped upon him by even his own countrymen, he finally shipped for the West Indies. Returning last week he began work on his model In the parlor of his boarding house where, behind locked doors, he daily labored to complete his Hying machine Jonasson says he will shortly make an ascension from a prominent place In this city. Several captains have asked him to use their ship decks for the purpose. The Inventor has great confidence In his Idea.
