EIGHT PAGES---56 COLUMNS. SCRANTON, PA., MONDAY MORNING APRIL 22, 1895. TWO NCENTS A COPY FATE OF IjnilH BILL The Religious Garb Measure Has Hard Lines Aheud. HESITATIOX JN THE SENATE Members Fear the llcsult of Passage or Defeat The ox-Governor Cannot . I'ind a Good Berth Gordon Impeachment Case. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Harrlsburgr, April 21, Little effort has been made to bring the Smith re ligious garb bill out of the senate edu cation committee. The senators do not know how to handle this, two-edged sword. They are sure to make enemies if they pass It and if it is smothered up or defeated they will call down upon them the wrath of the patriotic so cieties. This bill passed the house finally over a month ago, and since then has been in the senate education committee. The impression was given out at first that the measure was to be pushed through 'with possibly some amendments. Rep resentatives of patriotic orders were given a hearing and they were satis fied to accept the amendments. The principal one was suggested by Sena tor Flinn. of Allegheny. It placed the penalty for violation of the proposed act. upon the boards employing teach ers wearing religious garbs In the schools, instead of upon the twachers. After this charge was agreed to it was thought the bill was to be put on the senate calendar and acted upon at once. Since that time the measure has been asleep in committee, and it is be ginning to look as though it would never be awakened. Senator Becker, secretary of the committee. Is making a strong fight against It. He claims the people of his district, which is a por tion of the Third congressional district, Philadelphia, do not want the bill to become a law. The state legislative committee of the Junior Order of the United American Mechanics 1-3 making an earnest effort to get the bill out of committee. Last week memorials signed by 84,293 voters, representing forty-eight of the fifty senatorial districts of the state, were presented to the senate by the commit tee In favor of the bill. The memorial from the Second dlsti.n, which is repre sented by Senator Becker, contains 1.368 'signatures. The only districts from 'wVieh no petitions for the bill have . cr received are the Twenty third arid Twenty-fifth. The committee claims memorials signed by a half mil lion voters can be got If necessary to secure the passage of the bll.. Secre tary Buser and -other members deny that the people of Becker's district- are against the measure, and threaten to make it very Interesting for the senator If he does not cease his opposition to the pet scheme. Carrolltown Case. A member of the Junior Order of American Mechanics, of Hastings, has written to. the state .ouncil the follow ing letter: While our noble order is ao manfully fighting the foes of our free institutions ' and have a. law now on the statutes, or expect to have in a short time, to pro hibit the wearing of religious garb while teaching' in the public Bchools, I would like to call your attention to another evil In my estimation Is of greater mag nitude. I would cite to you Carroll- town, a borough of about 900 inhabl I tents, four miles from Hastings, where 'the teachers not only wear religious garb, but schools are parochial under he immediate supervision of priests and are annually getting the state ap propriation, on grounds of a free pub lic school. They also levy and collect annual tax for the school. The catechism is daily taught as the principal branch and it is said the county superintendent knows of this, bnt simply winks at it. This Is but a sample of Cambria county schools. There are plenty more of the sort, and I will name . few of them, as follows: Ixiretta, St. Augustine, Chess Springs, Kicktown, 'St. Boniface, St. Lawrence, and a host of others. Considering such condition of affairs as this, is it not time the people were aroused and something was done to remedy the evil. You may ask why we do not do something. I will answer by saying that there are no Junior Mechanics here. We are not organized and if we -were we are so terribly In the minority we would not dare say a word. On certain days, holidays, the whole school at Carrolltown Is marched Into the church to be catechised by the priest. There Is a cross on the top of the schoolhouse. The Mechanics are now considering the opening- up of a war on this town, but It will be a long and bitter fight. There are few but Catholics in this mountain town and the farmers in the country roundabout are devout follow ers of the pope. Quay and Oliver In Town. .Dick Quay and II. W. Oliver, of Pittsburg, were Harrlsburg callers last week. They were not here for pleas tire, but the secret of their mission has not come out yet. The Beaver pnU ttcan and the Pittsburg manufacturer, who also likes to dabble in political streams, arrived here Monday and were at the country residence of Sena tor Cameron for two days. Since then the people about town have been try ing to figure out the purpose of the visit. Some think it bus political sig nificance, while others are of the opin ion the callers were talking over bust uess matters. The balance of the peo vie are waiting for "time to tell." The months are rapidly Bllpplng away since Robert E. Pattlson stepped out of the gubernatorial chair to give place to General Hastings and still he Is without a Job. The fat positions he was to have did not come his way. The only thing he has done since his re. tlremenlt t was Ito run for mayor of Philadelphia and be defeated. This did not help his standing and It has been harder than ever for him to get a position to his liking. He would have liked to have gone back as president of the Chestnut Street National bank. William M. Slngerly has that position now and does not care to give it up. eotne of the large corporations that it has been said were going to employ Mr. Pattlson as their attorney, have given the places to other men. f he.ex-goV' ernor has a beautiful home at Over brook, the aristocratic suburb of Phila delphia, and Just now has plenty of time to spend with his family. "A hearing will be held next Tuesday tvenlng on the memorial of James M. W. Newlin, or Philadelphia, to lm peach Judge James Gay Gordon, of common pleas court No. 3, of that city. All the people Interested have been no tified to be present. Chairman Nlles has appointed Representatives Kunkle, of Dauphin, chairman; O'Mulley, of Lackawanna: Talbot, of Chester,- Pat terson, of Blair, and tiealfe, of Alle gheny, a sub-committee to Investigate Newlln's charges that Judge Gordon held a secret court In violation of the bill of rights. Jusluh Bunting, a member of the Philadelphia bar, has not I tied Chair man Niles that he will also present complaints against Judge Gordon. It is thought Colonel McClure will also file a memorial to even up mutters In the Smith libel suit last week. Newlin was a member of the constitutional convention and subsequently deputy at torney general. He Is well-known in Harrlsburg. He looks more like Na poleon than Governor McKlnley and prides himself on the resemblance. His head Is shaped very much like that of the little corporul's, If Nupoleonlc pic tures are correct likenesses. The appropriation problem Is keep ing many people awake these beautiful spring nights. The demands are heavy and the revenues are about il.ooo.uuu less for actual living expenses, though most of the applicants for state aid want plenty of frills thrown In. It was first thought best to abandon the mili tary encampment this year to save money which would break up the (guards, but the law and the boys are Inexorable. Next came the proposition to cut the school appropriations, but a cry against this has gone up all over the state. The results Is likely to be that the legislature will draw on the heavy balances which the banks are enJuying for which they pay no inter- The house appropriation has cut out all Items In aproprlatlon bills for new 1ulldlngs, for charitable Institutions dependent entirely upon the Btate. Only the question of maintenance is considered. This means that there will be no new asylums or hospitals of any kind for the next two years. The University of Pennsylvania will receive about 100,000 for maintenance, but it Is a foregone conclusion that It will not get the half million for which it Is asking 'to erect new build ings. The half million asked for the Im provement of the Delaware river will also go b; the board. With the as sistance of the Allegheny delegation, the Philadelphia members can pass the bill In the house, but It will not receive executive approval. Many other bills of a like character will either be nega tived by committee or vetoed by the governor. The Apportionment Hills. The legislature apportionment bills are still In thehouse and senate commit tees. Chairman Culbertson has been ready to report his bill from the house committee for some time. The plan seems to be to hold all apportionment bills In the background as long as pos sible. The leaders reason that they need a few clubs In reserve for recall ing members. Though the Judicial ap portionment was put through the house on a special order. It has made little progress In the senate. The Lancester senators are opposed to Increasing the number of Judges in that county, and will endeavor to amend the bill on sec ond reading. It seems to be pretty gen erally settled that the measure will go to a conference committee the same as the Judicial apportionment bill of 88.1. Senator Quay Is expected here next Thursday. He has been coming since April 1, but his friends declare that he will be on deck for a certainty this week. His son Dick was at the capitol last week. The young man watches legislation closely and keeps his father posted. Lieutenant Governor Lyon says -no political significance can be at. tached to the visit. The senator Is com Ing, as he has for years, to call on his friends In the legislature. It Is under stood he will help along theQuay county bill, which Is on the house calendar for third reading, and in danger of not be ing passed on account of the intense opposition of the representatives from Schuylkill and Luzerne counties, out of which It Is proposed to carve the new county. Senator Quay and Governor Hastings will see each other often during the senator's stay at the capital. They are close friends, although some of Quay's lieutenants believe the governor Is play ing fast and loose with him. They say Hastings Is trying to set up business for himself In the state Just as Mayor Warwick Is In Philadelphia. The gov ernor is not doing anything, though, that would Incur the enmity of Quay, He wants to be choice of the Pennsyl vania delegation to the national con vention, and expects Quay to help him, With the senator opposed to him the governor would not have a ghost of a chance for the presidency. Republicans and Democrats alike smile as they think of the Kerr fiasco last week. Eveybody expected that the Clearfield county leader would make a fight for the chairmanship even If he had one vote. The plan of the Kerrltes to capture the next state convention and secure control of the state delega. tion to the presidential convention by making a fight within the party lines, looks well enough on paper. Harrlty has been at work for sjtne time shaping things to have the national delegates from Pennsylvania under his thumb. Mr. Kerr still Insists that a number of Harrlty adherents are In sympathy with his movement for party reorganl zatlon, and at a good time will declare themselves. Already there Is talk of running Robert E. Wright, the Allentown law. yer and chairman of the state Democratic committee, for state treasurer this fall against Cashier Haywood, of the state treasury. This makes the friends of Mr. Kerr angry. One of them asked today If Wright owned the party. He has been the nominee for auditor gen eral and was secretary of the state World's Fair commissioners. Wright's brother was for two years chairman of the state committee, and is now naval officer of Philadelphia. Many of the Kerr people think the Wrights will en deavor to have the convention held at Allentown, as they did a few years ago. when B. J. McGrann,)f Lancaster, was nominated for Btate treasurer. The selection of the date and place for the convention has been left to the execu tive committee, which Is controlled by National Chairman Harrlty. Pool Fennlmore Coopor Dead. Albany, N. Y April 21.

A WOMAN HOKKIdLY MUTILATED Alice Walsh Discovered on the Stuirway of a Thompson Street Tenement Ilouso Dying from the Effects of Stub Wounds. New York, April 21. A murder which hn not been surpassed for atrocity since "Old Shakespeare" was found butchered in the Bust River hotel three years ago, was committed In Thompson Btreet, or Us Immediate vlcltnlty, early this morning. The victim of the crime was a womun, known as Allc Walsh, a frequenter of the region around Thompson and Sullivan streets, who was found in a pool of blood In the hall way of No. 143 Thompson street, short ly before six o'clock. Mrs. Curmella Kuggiero left her room on the third floor at a few minutes after five o'clock to go to moss. The stairs were still dark, but In .the faint light, which came throught the open street door, she saw the form of a person sitting on the second step of the staircase, which leads from the entrance hull. The bodv was In such a position as to completely block Mrs- Rugglero's path. It was seated on the second step, the shoulders rested ugainst the steps above, and the left hand grasped the railing of the banisters. Mrs. Rug geiro hud by this time grown accus tomed to the dim light ana saw me body was that of a woman. She took the outstretched hand to place it by the woman's side so as to make room for herself to pass by. The hand was so cold that Mrs. Ruggeiro became alarmed and rushed to her room and aroused her son. Frank. He hurriedly went down to the hall to Investigate. He struck a match and ordered me wo man to cet up and out of the house. When she failed to respond, he shook her by the shoulder. The only response was a faint groan, men ne miutn unother match, and by its light saw a pool of blood on the floor and a trail of blood leading toward the street door. A Siirseon's Opinion. niio-e-Plro did not stop to investigate further. A policeman was notified. He summoned an ambulance and whon it arrived the surgeon In cliarge ueciueu trom a brief examination that the woman was intoxicated and that she was suffering from a female allmant. she was taken to Bellevue hospital, where Dr. Finch made a thorough ex amination and discovered that the wo man had been stabbed In the pelvic re gion and that there were many bruises on her body. The woman remained In an uncon scious rendition until her death, which occurred at 11.45 a. m. The body was taken to the morgue, where an autopsy was i-erformed. The result of the doc tor's Investigation showed that a most brutal murder of the type made famous by 'Muck the Ripper" had been com mitted. The dead woman was evident ly a woman of the town and was about 2" years old. The body was almost cov ered with bruises as though she had been subjected to the most brutal treat ment before the final assault which caused her death. No part of the body was free from the contusions, many of which appeared to have been caused by kicks. They were especially nu merous on the lpgs and thighs. The weapon wun wnicn me wouna was made, the doctors said, was either a stiletto or a long knife sharpened to a razor keenness. It might have been a rastor, but this was considered rather unlikely, owing to the force which would be required to force the razor into the woman's body to make such a wound as the one from which she died. The weapon had penetrated to a distance of five Inches. The Womun Identified. Before the autopsy was performed, Carrie Williams, a prisoner, who had been assigned to Bellevue, asked to be allowed to see the body, which she Identified as that of a woman she had known as Alice Walsh. Carrie said she knew of no one who was Jealous of Alice Walsh to such an extent as to lead to murder. The tenants of the house where Alice was found say they heard noth ing In the halls during the night that sounded like a struggle or a fight. One or two of them, however, claim to have heard from t,helr neighbors that at about 4.30 o'clock they were awakened by a sound resembling a woman's faint, gasping scream. The voice was muffled, as though the woman was being choked, or was too weak, from fright and pain, to cry out loudly. The tenants are mostly Italians. The polllce department Immediately went to work on the case and this af ternoon Philip Mewley, who gave his address as 1S4 Thompson street, was arrested on suspicion of being con cerned In the murder.

The death of Peter Macklln, which Was Investi gated by a coroner's Jury yesterday, promises to bring to light a big sensa tion, with the trial of his Jilted sweet heart for murder as the climax. - Macklln was a well-to-do restaurant keeper.

The Combination of tho Standard Com pany with tho Russian Oil Producers Hus Caused Great Excitement-Austrian Market Quiet. ' Rer-lln. Anril 21. Trustworthy dis patches from St. Petersburg say that the Standard OH company and the Rus sian oil producers have perfected their agreement, which awaits now the finance minister's sanction before be coming operative.. The. public share largely the excitement of speculators In oil. Every scrap of news regarding the Russo-Amerlcan negotiations has b?en snapped up eagerly and spread con spicuously on the front page of news papers throughout the' empire. The rise In the price of oils is likely to cause the more energetic exploitation of the works in Alsalo and Lorralre, which already provide five per cent, of the entire amount consumed In Ger many. Production In Westphalia also has been stimulated greatly. The Reutllngen works In Wurtemburg are about to reopen, and fresh fields are sought and tested in .every district where there is the slightest chance of paying results. Letters from Vienna . say. . that the Austrian market has not been affected much by the flurry In America. Aus tria refines all the ail that she requires and the bulk of her unrefined oil comes from Gallcla, although she gets some of the raw product from Russia. Ow ing to the rise in American oil the Gall clan refiners are now able to export their product to Germany, although Gallclan ' petrdleum generally sells about n cents under the American. Reports ihave multiplied In the Rus sian petroleum market since the flurry that Russians were likely to lose much of their Asiatic custom, Bince several native refineries have been opened at Fazell and other points along the Per sian shore of tha Caspian Sea. In com petition with the Persians the Rus sians are at a distinct disadvantage, for they must pay a tax of 30 cents, while the Persians pay no tax at all. LEFT TO THEIR FATE. Inhuman Conduct of the Captain of a German. Steamship, Who Sails Away from a Sinking Schooner.' Philadelphia, ;Aprll 21. The steam ship SofuthWark, which arrived here to day from Liverpool, brought Captain Edwin Moore and the crew of six men of the Nova Scotian schooner Glen ola, from which they were taken on Friday, last. When abandoned the Glenola was in a waterlogged and sinking" condition. The Glenola left Halifax for Demerara with a cargo of dried fish and potatoes on April 11. Almost from the beglnnng of the voy age heavy weather was encountered,' and on. Tuesday last a gale struck the little Bchooner and battered her fear fully. On Wednesday the gale moder ated, but a hasty sea was still running and the crew were compelled to work hard to keep their vessel afloat. Several steamers were seen on Wed nesday, but none passed near enough to bo signalled. On Wednesday even ing a three-masted heavily laded Ger mna steamer, bound probably for either Philadelphia or New York, bore down to the Glenola in answer to her signals of distress. Captain Moore hailed the German and told him that his vessel was sinking and he wished to be taken off. At this time the schooner's . deck was almost flushed with water. After learning what Cap tain Moore wanted the German, with out making any reply to his appeal, steamed ahead at full speed and aban doned the crew of the schooner to what appeared to be certain death. The men of the Glenola managed to keep their vessel afloat until Friday, when the Southwark bore down upon them and took them off. Conspired with the llovas. Marseilles, April 21. John L.

The government has been informed that the United States will Bend the cruisers New York, Co lumbia, San Francisco and Marble head to take part In the naval demon stration at the opening of the North sea and Baltic canal. The celebration at Kiel now bids fair to exceed In size and splendor all previous expectations for with every passing week the pro gramme grows longer and more elabor ate. The question of precedence has made some trouble among the sover eign princes of the empire, but has been settled satisfactorily. Prince Regent Leopold, of Bavaria, refused to go to Kiel unless assured that he should be ranked next to the emperor. Hut ns actual sovereign the king of Saxony, os well as the king of Wurtem burg, claimed for himself a more con spicuous place than the regent. The regent held, however, that as he would represent the crazy king, Otto, and Ba varia was the largest power in Ger many after Prussia, he could not yield precedence to anybody except the Prussian king, lie reminded the em peror finally of the elquette observed at Emperor Frederick's and the old emperors' funerals where Bavaria's first place among the small states was undisputed. The emperor then wrote to the kings of Wuertemburg and Sax ony asking that they give the regent's demands their friendly consideration. Both acceded gracefully and sent to Munich cordial letters granting tthe justice of the regent's claims. Emperor William Is Intent upon mak ing the Kiel fetes a display of world wide Interest and he has directed that every possible facility be given to the press. MoJ.ieskn's Grievance. Mme.

Special to the Scranton Tribune. Tunkhannock, April 21. A serious. and perhups, fatal accident occurred on the Montrose railroad today. A spe cial train, conveying General Passeng er Agent Asa P. Blakslee and another railway official to Inspect the Meshop-J pen crecK onuge, near Avery station, left here about noon, Less than a mile from this place the train met a gang of five section men coming down the mountain grade at lightning speed on a hand car. A curve in the track prevented either party from seeing the dnnger until they nearly met. The engineer reversed and the men on the hand car made a wild endeavor to apply the brakes, but seeing that a col lision was Inevitably, some of them jumped. When the crash was over a hastly examination revealed the fact that all the men but one were more or less injured, and some of them Be verly. Al. Smith had a log broken near the hip joint, and was tuken to the Sayre hospital. Henry Dymond had two or three ribs broken, and Wellle Fuller was also quite Berlously cut and bruised. The others were more fortu nate, and escaped with slight wounds. The Montrose road has been remark ably free from accident In all the years of Its operation. It was constructed In 1872, and has never had a fatal acci dent, with one exception, and that was wholly the fault of the victim. He was intoxicated and fell from a moving train and broke his neck.
