Harrlsburg. April 29. The religious
Barb bill will nut be rushed thru ugh
the somite. It will be called up on
Wednesday and passed the second time
and then laid aside for a while. There
Is no necessity to hurry the passage of
the bill. Its friends have made a care
ful canvass of the senate and huve
pledges of support from two-thirds of
the senators. .In order that they may
be free to look after certain other legis
lation In which they are Interested, the
advocates of the bill have asked that
final consideration be postponed until
a fe:-' days before the close of the ses
sloi. The house will concur In the sen
ut nu'nendnients placing; the penalty
lou the school boards employing
teachers wearing a religious garb or
Insignia.
The ' legislative committee of tho
Junior Order of American Mechanics
has succeeded In getting about every
thing Its members have expected from
this legislature. The Farr compulsory
education bill has passed senate and
house. It will be signed by the presid
ing officers tomorrow, and then sent
over to the governor for his approval.
The religious garb bill has pasjed the
house and will go through the senate.
The Blddle bill taxing male allen3
three dollars a year after they have
been In the state three months, and live
dollars at the expiration of five years,
if they refuse to take oirt naturalization
papers, has passed finally in the house
and will be brought out of the senate
committee on finance this .week. The
fund raised by the collection of this tax
Is to be used for the lr-rrovement of
the streets and public hlgi. ys In the
municipalities of the state. The com
mittee is urging the passage of this bill
and Is confident it will go through,
although its past efforts in this direc
tion have failed.
The committee Is also Interested in
the Bandls flag bill, which has passed
the senate and will be considered In the
house tomorrow on third reuding, and
final passage. This measure requires
school directors to purchase out of the
school funds an American flag, made of
American wool, by American workmen,
to be displayed on the school houses in
the respective districts on a staff on
American lumber.
The Focht resolution for .he appoint
ment of a Joint committee of the house
and senate, and two disinterested per
sons to Investigate the ste' . institutions
to ascertain how man;' their inmates
are aliens, was also advocated by the
committee, although It was introduced
at the instance of the legislative com
mittee of the Patriotic Orders Sons of
America. This resolution passed tho
legislature six weeks ago and was ap
proved by the governor. The commit
tee will not be announced before the
close of the session. The patriotic so
cieties have had the good fortune not
to have a bill defeated In which they
are intert 'ted.
Stiles Ilill Resurrected.
The Stiles bill requiring social clubs
to pay a license fee for the sale of liquor
has been resurrected. It assed the sen
ate three weeks ago. When It was sent
over to the house it was referred to the
vice and Immorality committee, where
it lingered until last week. Then it was
taken up and reported adversely. Dur
ing the excitement and confusion in the
house last Friday the bill was recom
mitted to the committee. Since then a
strong effort has been made by the re
tall liquor dealers as well as the temper
ance people In favor of the measure,
and it is thought It will be favorably re
ported and passed.
The bill requires regularly corporated
clubs with a membership of fifty to pay
a license of $1,000 In cities of the first
and second class; $200 In cities of the
third class; $50 In boroughs, and $100 in
townships. The license is to be grant
ed by the court on proper application.
In addition to the fee the club Is re
quired to pay the clerk of the court
granting the license a fee of $3. Clubs
selling liquors to minors or in quantities
greater than a quart to its members
are liable to a fine of $50. The act goes
Into effect Immediately upon its pas
sage. Auditor General-elect Mylln has ap
pointed Sam Matt Frldy, of Lancaster,
his chief clerk. Mr. Frldy will assume
the duties of office next Tuesday simul
taneous with the induction of his chief

President Harrison and is one of the
best known politicians .In the eastern
end of the state. lie was for years com
mission clerk In the state department
and subsequently deputy secretary of
the commonwealth and prothonotary of

Hollldaysburg, for a clerkship In the
department under the act recently ap
proved by Governor Hastings for the
appointment of two extra clerks to copy
the old land surveys and warrants. Mr.
Lemon Is a son of Senator Lemon, of
Blair. It Is raid on the highest author
lty that General Latta will make no
changes In tho department.
There are no sinecures at the state
arsenal. This has Just been learned by
a well-known York politician to his
sorrow and disgust.! After the rhange
of administration this person made ap
plication to Adjutant General Stewart
for a position under him. The general
finally selected a place at the arsenal
for the ambitious politician at a salary
of $300 a year. He sold out his manu
facturing business In a little country
town In the northern end of York coun
ty and moved to Harrlsburg with his
family. He went to work for a Week or
two. in earnest and then grrew tired of
packing tents, "washing tha wheels of
cannons, repairing muskets and taking
care of officers' uniforms, and last Fri
day handed his resignation to General
Stewart to take effect May 1. There
are plenty of sinecures at the capital,
but the political worker who enters
the department under the supervision
of the adjutant general doesn't get
them. He must work ten hours a day
during the winter and fifteen and six
teen just berore and ufter the annual
encampments.

SCHNEIDER A HERO.
fn the Vain Attempt to Save tho Life of
an Invalid in a l lrcllo Perishes in Hie
II nines.
Pittsburg, April 29. Three bodies
were found this morning In the
ruins of last night's lire, which started
in the feed store of S. F. Iiialns, located
on IVnn avenue, Kast Knd, and burned
Beveral tenement houses adjoining.
Their names are: Lydes Mitchell, car
penter, aged 35; Samuel Weaver, aged
25, married; Frederick Schneider, aged
21. The victims last their lives in the
house of Samut'I Weaver. Weaver had
been ill for some time with typhoid fe
ver. His wife had been confined only
a few days ago. She was removed in
safety from the approaching flames.
Mitchell and another man were In the
act of removing Mr. Weaver, when a
lamp in the room exploded. At the same
time an adjoining tenement fell in on
the Weaver house, and Mitchell and
Weaver perished in the tlames and fall
ing debris.
Fred Schneider, who had saved sev
eral persons during the progress of the
fire, hearing Mrs. Weaver's pitiable la
mentations to save her husband,
rushed into the burning house and he
also lost his life. Mrs. Weaver is In
a critical condition from the shock, and
it is feared she may not recover. Six
tenements, all of a flimsy character,
were burned, together with Blalas' feed
store. The total loss Is probably
$10,000.

United States Gunboats Ordered to
the Scene of Trouble.
WILL I'KOTCCT OUR CITIZENS
Tho Atlanta and tho Alert Are to Look
After American Interests Only.
Gravity of the Situation Real
ized nt Washington.
Washington, April 2!). After several
conferences today between Secretary
Clreshutn and Secretary Herbert the
secretary of the navy sent dispatches
to the commanders of the United States
gunboats. Alert and thu Atlanta, direct
ing them 'to proceed without delay to
San Juan Del Stir and Oreytown, Nica
ragua, respectively. The Alert la at
Panama, and It will take her about a
day and a half to reach Sun Juan Del
Sur, which is the cable station nearest
to Corlnto, situated about 100 miles be
low that port. The Atlanta Is at Key
West and can make the distance of 750
miles from that place to Greytown in
two and a half days.
When Secretary Herbert was asked
the significance of these orders he an
swered promptly as follows:
"The newspapers say that a revolu
tion Is probable In Nicaragua. They
Btate that the people are very much dis
satisfied with the course of the givern
nient and are likely to attempt to over
throw It. In order to protect the Inter
e.'its of American citizens, their lives and
property, and following the pulley al
ways pursued In such contingencies, I
have ordered tho Alert to San Juan Del
Sur and tho Atlanta to Greytown. In
addition to ithese vessels, the Mont
goery, now at Mobile, will sail on May
7 for Greytown, conveying the Nica
raguan canal commission to that place.
Tho Monterey, which has sailed for
Panama, will remain at Panama fur
the present. With two United Startes
ships on one side of Nicaragua and one
ship on the other side, It is plain that
American Interest will be well pro
tected If the rumored revolution should
take place. Hut I Ish It distinctly un
derstood that these vessels are sent to
Nicaragua for the purpose of caring for
oltizen9 of the United States and their
interests, and not on any business con
nected with the situation at Corlnto."
The Alert Is one of the older vessels
of the navy, an Iron cruiser of 1020 tons
displacement, and propelled by a single
screw. Her main batery consists of
four guns, and she dues not compare
formidably with either of the Drltish
ships now at Corlnto, although she
would probably not be overmatched
by the Wildswan, now at San Juan Del
Sur, the port of her destination.
Policy of the Government.
AVhile the policy of this government
In the trouble at Corlnto is well under
stood, the first authoritative statement
on the subject was not made until to
day. A cabinet officer said this eve
ning that the United States could not
interfere between Great Britain and
Nicaragua in their matter of difference,
because Nicaragua was a soverelgh
state, recognized as such by Great
Britain and the United States, and
must hold herself responsible to Great
Britain for offenses committed against
British subjects.
"The United States government," he
said, "does not undertake to extend a
protectorate over Central America and
South America to such an extent that
a sovereign state of one or the other of
these countries may Insult another sov
ereign nation with the expectation that
this government will protect it from
forcible resentment by the nation In
sulted. Such a principle has never been
recognized by the United States, and if
we attempt to assert it, we would Incur
the emnlty of every nation having deal
ings with Central and South America."
It Is understood that the situation nt
Corlnto has been relieved of much of
Its tension by an Intimation cabled by
Ambassador Bayard, that In case Nica
ragua would guarantee payment of the
indemnity asked within fifteen days,
Great Britain would accede to the re
quest for an extension of time.
. Developments to lie Expected.
Despite the Inclemency of the weather
Mr. Cleveland decided on account of the
pressing nature of official business and
the gravity of the Nlcoroguan situation
to come into the white 'house, where he
could have better opportunity for con
sultation with Secretary Greshnm. Mr.
Gresham spent all the morning In se
clusion at the' state department nnd
towards noon granted an audience to
Dr. Guzman, the Nlcaraguan minister.
An unexpected development in the
Nicaragua-British situation may be ex
pected within the next twenty-four or
forty-eight hours. From present Indi
cations an agreement will probably be
reached which will be mutually satis
Paotory to both countries, whloh will re
sult In tho withdrawal of the British
forces from Corlnto and bring the pres
ent complications to a close.
OIL TO GO STILL HIGHER.
Franklin Rockcfoller Claims tho Advanco
Is to Do Permanent.
Duluth, April 29. Franklin Rocke
feller, vice-president of the Standard
Oil company, passed .through Duluth
this afternoon on his way to the Mesa
ba Iron mines, which he and his brother
control. "Tho advance in coal oil
prices Is permanent," said he, "and
speculators can expect to see t)he prlco
go even 40 or 50 per cent, higher this
summer. For many years to come tho
world will not see oil as cheap as It has
been.
"The recent advance has stimulated
exploration, so that the demand for Iron
pipe and other supplies has greatly In
creased, end business In those lines
should be brisk. On the whole, the ad
vance In oil prices haa been a good
thing for the country."
DR. GIBSON HAS AN ALIBI.
All Facts, Says Chief Crowley, Point to
Durant as a Murderer.
San Francisco, April 29. Chief of Po
lice Crowley Is of .the opinion that there
Is not a fact now that points In any di
rection other than Durant as the mur
derer of Minnie Williams. Dr. Gibson,
he says, has a perfect alibi, while not a
fact has been discovered upon which
any reasonable man could construct a
theory consistent with the Innocence of
Durant. Speaking of the Lamont cai
Chief Crowley said the police dep
ment would present, If possible, a
stronger chain of circumstantial evi
dence than in the case of Minnie Will
lams. The chief said that, at this time it
would not be prudent for him to make
public all thu evidence in the case, but
he Intimated that new witnesses would
be produced to show that Blanche La
mont was lust seen alive with Theodore
Durant, and in the Immediate vicinity
of the Emanuel Baptist church. It Is
now understood that District Attorney
Barnes will elect to try thu Lamont
case In the superior court before taking
up the case of " 'Williams.
DENMAN ThOMPSON RETIRES.
Will Take tho Rest lie Has I'nrned by
Years of Hard Work.
New York, April 29. The curtain fell
tonight on the active theatrical career
of Denman Thompson, who, rugged and
sturdy at 02 years, retires to a com
fortable rest. He was born n'ar Glr
nrl. Pa., Oct. 15, 18:0. His first ap
earance on the stage was ns a super
with Charlotte Cushman at the Howard
Athenaeum, Boston, lie soon lieeame
an Itinerant actor, playing low comedy,
and In 1854 wen.t to the ltoyal Lyceum
theater, Toronto, where he remained
until 1808. During the spring of 1862 he
played In London with moderate suc
cess, and lu 18T1 he began In variety
theaters. At Harry Martin's, l'itts
burg, In February, 1851, he appeared as
Uncle Joshua Whltcomb In a one-act
piece of that name, which he wrote.
He added to the sketch and attracted
the attention of J. M. Hill, of Chicago,
'"shua Whltcomb" was elaborated to
a four-act play and was produced In
New York In "l878 with success. "The
Old Homestead" was produced at the
Boston theater in April, 1XS0. He will
spend the summer at Swanzey, N. II.
CHANGES IN THE SQUADRON.
Vessel -i I mler Admiral Meade's Coin
mnnJ to Undergo Alterations.
Washington, April 29. SeveraJ
changes will take place In Admiral
Meade's squadron. The Minneapolis Is
going to Norfolk to have her cabins
changed and be fitted for a flagship;
the New York and Columbia go to New
York to make ready for the Kiel cele
bration. They will bo docked and
painted, and the Columbia will have a
torpedo outfit placed aboard. The
Montgomery will remain at Mobile, and
the other three vessels, the Atlanta,
Raleigh and Cincinnati, will remain at
Key West for a time, although it is un
derstood that the Baleigh will return
to Colon and look after American In
terests about the Isthmus.
After the New York and Columbia
are sent away there will be no vessel
in the squadron with cabin arrange
ments fit for a flagship, and the altera
tions In Minneapolis are therefore
necessary.

Honduras, have been Informed by the
authorities of the latter country that

tion Is to collect the revenues of Hon

Great Victory for the Spanish Troops
in Cuba.
GENERAL MACEO DEFEATED
llerco Duttlcs ,, x Fought In tho Vicinity
of lluvono-Jenoral Gurzu's Army
Also Snstains llcuvy Loss-Survivors
Surrender to Spain.
Havana, April 29. General Salcedo,
commanding the Spanish troops operat
ing ugalnst General Alaceo, the Insur
gent leader, has won a great victory. He
attacked 'Maeeo's forces at I'urra llueco.
After a severe engagement, during
which the Spanish soldiers fought
bravely, the forces of the government
were victorious, completely routing the
Insurgents, who lost many killed and
wounded.
The survivors of .Maceo's command
were dispersed, and have sought refuge
in the mountains. In addition, the In
surgent band commanded by General
Garza has been completely defeated,
with great loss In killed and wounded
and prisoners. Nearly all the remainder
of this band afterward surrendered
themselves prisoners to the Spanish au
thorities. All the orders given by Captain Gen
eral Martinez de Campos since he as
sumed supreme command In Cuba
would lead the ordinary observer to de
duce the fact that, there must have
been great laxity In the administration
of the war department by General Csil
leja, the captain general who was su
perseded by Martinez de Campos, and
who is now on his way to Spain. Even
the sanitary service so essential In time
of war seems to have suffered greatly
from neglect. The national Interests
were also apparently neglected In other
directions.
It is believed that the clear Intelli
gence of Martinez de Campos will have
proved to him that the rebellion could
have been prevented if proper precau
tions had been taken In time. Happily,
the activity of the new captain general
In the direction of a general plan of
campaign against the Insurgents will.
It Is confidently expected, soon produce
a beneficial result.

ing suddenly, had probably been burn
fur some time. Its origin was on the
third floor and evidently caught from
an explosion of a lamp in the servant
girls' room, which is supposed to have
been burning at the time.
The entire third floor was burned out
and the first and second were drenched
with water. The building has three
roofs added from time to time. The
first was an old shingle roof, overtopped
about three feet above by a tar roof,
which had been covered by Iron. This
triple roof made the fire very difficult
to fight, .as for a long time It seemed
almost impossible to break through it.
The burning tar roof sent volumes of
dense black smoke down through the
building. The fire was confined to the
building and burned for two hours, do
ing no serious damage to surrounding
property. Charles Spencer, Jeweler,
occupying a store on the east side, re
moved some of his property, but was
not damaged. The loss Is estimated at
$S,000. J. N. Foster & Co., building,
$3,000; merchandise, $2,500. Charles
Baker, $2,000; boarders, $500. Covered
by insurance. The burning building
was near the churches. The shouts of
lire and sound of alarm caused some
consternation In tho congregations,
which were nt once dismissed.

three Indictments, charging him wUh
living in open defiance of morality with
Mary Weldon, Mrs. Isabelle Tuttle and
Mrs. Margaret Teft Weldon. indict
ments being returned against the three
women also, all of whom have become
mothers of children. A caplns was l
sued by Judge S.haw in the case. Sher
iff Ollvrr.wlth four deputies, rta.-tei for
the plnre to serve the paper. Whin Ire
reached there he found the big house
barricaded, every door being tightly
locked. When the hands in the fields,
who are followers of the bogus lord,
saw the officers, they dropped their
plows and flocked in. Sehweinfurth
did not come out of the house for an
hour and old Peter Wtldon attempted
to tell Sheriff Oliver that he own -d
everything on the place and nothing
could, be removed.
The officer politely Informed him that
he had a paper In his pocket which
warranted him in breaking in the house
if necessary to secure what he was
after, referring, of course, to Sehwein
furth. The sheriff also had In his
pocket an execution In favor of Oeorge
W. Coudrey, of Chicago, to levy on the
personal property recently transferred
by George Jacob. When the latter
emerged from the back door it was
quickly locked after him. He made no
resistance at service, but asked to be

him he would go with him, but tho
messiah was sharp enough to know he
would make a levy on the Coudrey

and he refused to go back. Several
drays were there to haul the goods to
town, but they returned empty.
When Sehweinfurth nnd four male
followers left for the city the female
"angels" wept bitterly. It was a lively
day at "heaven," and among other In
cidents was the ordering off the prem
ises of William H. Hill, of Chicago, at
torney for Coudrey. Sehweinfurth an.1
his followers returned to the place to
night, but they are retui liable in court
Monday morning, when the four in
dicted persons will probably enter a
plea.
