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

ANOTHER JACK THE RIPPER
New York Startled by the Discovery
of a Fiendish Crime.
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.

MARY WAS A TRUE PROPHET.
But She Is Liable to He Arrested for
Alurdcr.
Memphis, Tcnn., April 21. 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. He died yesterday morning of
a disease affecting his head and lungs
and thought to be pneumonia. He had
been ailing over a week. Among his
effects was found a susplolo'us letter
from MIbs Mary Hlnes, a former sweet
heart of his, in which she upbraided
him for his desertion of her, and
threatening that if he did not break
off the marriage announced to take
place between him and Miss Amelia
Stewart he would not live to go through
the ceremony. At the inquest yester
day it was shown that he had not
broken off the wedding engagement,
and that on the day on which he was
taken with his last Illness he attended
a supper given by his former sweet
heart. The Jury of inquest arrived at
no conclusion, but will await the re
Bult of an autopsy. The body hus been
shipped out of the city to the home of
a relative In East Tennessee.
OIL MARKETS. OF EUROPE.
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. Waller,
once United States consul at Tamatave,
arrived here yesterday from Madagascar
aboard the steamship Djemnuh and was

he will be confined until transferred to
the civil authorities. Waller Is accused by
the French of conspiring with the Hovus
ugulnst the protectorate In Madagascar.

Berlin, April 21. 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.

HAND CAR MEETS AX EXCINE.
Serious Collision on the Montrose Rail
road Near Tunkhannock in Which
Several Men Are Injured.
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.

ing a revolver. As he made the motion
tho officer pulled his gun und tl" two

twenty steps of each other, and the
officer got the best of It, emptying his
revolver Into Snyder, who dropped
dead.
One of the stray . shots hit a third
party, whose name is not known. He
was shot In the head, and cannot re
cover. The shot was from the patrol
man's revolver. Painter gave himself
up Immediately after the sKootlng. He

Louisville, Ky., April 21. Senator Jo
seph C. Blackburn has thrown down the
gauntlet to those who desire to contest
