TO LEXOW PHILADELPHIA
Mr. Penrose Will I'iyht a Large
Political Combination.
SENATOK Ql 3 IS OIHH'KATR
Cnnnot llo Persuaded to Coll I'cnroso
off - Senator Cnmcron Is Very
Nervous l.ic iitomint liovernoi
W litres' Senatorial Prospects. .
Special to the Scrnnton Tribune
Harrlsburg, Muy 5. Senator Pennine
Is making his light to pass tho resolu
tion to Investigate the municipal work
Ins of Philadelphia with the greatest
array of political tulent against him
any body of men have ever had to com
bat with. In the east Martin anil Pur-
tor are Until up. At the state capital
are Governor Hustings ami his cabinet.
In the west Chris Magee and Senator
I'Mlnn are with the opposition.
"Senator Quay grows more suspicious
if men as he ages," said a member of
c.overnor Hastings cabinet today.
"Penrose und Durham have his ear and
he believes them to bo his friends and
trusts them above all others. Great
pressure Is being brought to lienr upon
Colonel Quay to call off his friend Pen
rose and stop the proposed Lexow of
Philadelphia. Within forty-eight hours
after the introduction of the young
I'hlladelphlun's resolution. Lieutenant
Governor Lyon was at the national
capital In consultation with Quay. The
nolo purpose of the lieutenant govern
or's errand was to try to persuade the
"old man" to use his Influence with the
senators to have the resolution sleep in
committee.
Not Anxious, hut Willing.
"Quay listened attentively to Lyon.
'but (rave him no encouragement. Then
ex-Postmaster McKean, of Pittsburg, a
close friend of Quay In the West, went
to Washington to endeavor to enlist
the senator In effecting a compromise
between the warring factions. The
Pittsburger could do no more with the
Beaver man than Lyon. Chris Magee
and Secretary of the Commonwealth
Reeder made a Journey to the capital to
accomplish that which the others had
not been aide to do and they failed.
There Is no doubt as to Senator Quay's
attitude In this matter. He prefers har
mony to a quarrel, but If need be he
will tight to bring about that which his
friends, Penrose and Durham, seek to
accomplish and which other friends are
trivlng to prevent.
"As I figure this out Senator Quay
will be stronger than ever in case of
victory, but should he be defeated he
will lose the power in state politics he
can never regain. There are three
great political combinations arrayed
against Mr. Penrose and the fight of
Penrose Is the fight of Quay. In Phila
delphia Dave Martin and Charley Por
ter are In absolute control through
their connections with Mayor Warwick,
and will retain their hold on the party
machinery for the next four years, un
less there should come a 'break between
them. Each day they are strengthen
ing' their forces, and If Senator Penrose
Is defeated In this light the Quay people
will have little to say In the politics of
the metropolis of Pennsylvania.
Tho llarrlstuirg Combination.
"Coming to Harrlsburg the next anti
Penrose combination Is found. ' Here is
Governor Hastings and the many men
who hold office through his courtesy.
For the most part this array of politi
cal wirepullers would be loft to Quay
if Philadelphia Is not Lexowed. There
are several prominent state officials
who will stand by Quay, but Governor
Hastings would undoubtedly give hla
support to tMartln.
"In the west Chris Magee Is dally be
coming stronger. He Is strongly op
posed to the Investigation of Philadel
phia and Is doing everything possible
to defeat It. Senator Fllnn, too, Is try
ing to prevent the Investigation.
Chairman Gllkeson has put himself Into
disfavor with both factions by playing
fast and loose. There ta no doubt
of his loyalty to Quay, yet his position
of banking commissioner Is keeping
him in line with the state administra
tion." fnmcron Wonts Harmony.
The threatened break In the party
leaders is most feared by Senator
Cameron. He has more to lose than
any of them and Is moving heaven and
earth to restore harmony. With the
leaders nuarelling Cameron's chances
for the United States sena.torsh.ip two
years hence would not be as promising
as he would like. John Wanamaker Is
a candidate and will receive the support
of Martin and the Philadelphia people.
It Is believed Governor Hsstlngs will
support the Quaker City merchant In
preference to Cameron. Ex-Lieutenant
Governor Watres will be a factor In the
senatorial contest two years hence. He
will be backed by the party leaders in
the anthracite region and In the event
of a bitter fight between Wanamaker
the Scrnnton lawyer may be accepted
by both eldes as a compromise.
The trouble over the Penrose reso
lution has revived the story that Chris
L. Magee la ambitious to succeed Sena
tor Quay In 1899. The senator Is now 65
years old and at the close of his term
will bo old enough to (ult politics and
spend his declining years In ease.
Magee could be elected with the sup
port of Quay, but It Is doubtful whether
he could succeed if he were to run
against the "old man."

COLLIDED WITH WILD ENGINE
Thirteen Passengers Injured on St. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Southern koud.
Little Rock, Ark., May 8. A wild en
gine collided with a passenger train on
the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and South
ern road near Clarksvllle yesterday af
ternoon, and In the ensuing wreck thir
teen asnengera were Injured, none fatal
ly, however.
,- The accident was due to the careless
ness of Engineer Wllban'Kfl, who was at
the throttle of a locomotive drawing a
freight train. He was to meet the pas
senger train at Clarksvllle and was un
der orders to side truck there. Leaving
his train on the main track, however,
he stepped into thu telegraph olllce to
make Imiulry as to tho whereabouts of
the passenger. The llrcmnn also
p'otmed off for a moment, and while the
lo was thus deserted tho throttle
ilew open and the eiiglno started oft up
th track at full speed. It met the pua
Benger train but a short distance out of
Clarksvllle when he collision occurred.

Washington, 'May D. According to
advices received here the evacuation of
Corlnto by the British fleet was quietly
accomplished todny, and the port was
restored to Niearaguaii authority.
Shortly after midnight Huturduy, Min
ister tluzmun received a cable message
staling that all the preliminaries had
been satisfactorily arranged with the
British admiral through the Intermedia
tion of Keiior Flullos, of Honduras. In
this matter Nicaragua was spared any
appearance of humiliation and friction
was avoided. .
Nicaragua will pay the Indemnity In
London within the two weeks stipulat
ed and the remaining terms of the ulti
matum will be satisfactorily arranged.
The Nlcnrnguun peoplo appeal' to
thoroughly understand President Ze
laya, who was a man of great pluck
und determination, and they have ap
proved his course in the mutter. Pub
lished statements that "howling mobs"
were parading the streets of the capital,
shouting "Death to Zelaya," appear to
have had no foundation In fact. Zelaya
Is not the man to tolerate demonstra
tions of that kind. He himself headed
a revolution two years ago, which over
threw nn obnoxious (govern ment In fif
teen days.
Within that time he fought three hat
ties and captured the capital. He was
chosen president by the constitutional
convention, which was Immediately or
ganized, and has proved himself to ba
a wise and just ruler.

LIVELY SESSIONS AHEAD
One Hundred nnd Seventh General
Assembly of l'rcliyterlnn Church.
DK. UK1GGS' CAS15 WILL COME IT
A Clash Is Lxpcctcd Between Conserva
tives and Liberals -The Weather of
Yesterday Will llo Nothing Com
pared to tho Meeting.
PltU'burg, Pa., May 5. This week
will see tho Inst of the GOO commission,
era elected for tho one hundred am)
seventh general assembly of the I'res
bytrlan church In the United States of
America, which will convene on .May
10. Unusual preparations are being
made fur this event for the reason that
this ussembly marks the twenty-llfth
anniversary of the reunion of the old
school and now school churches, which
took place with such ceremony In the
year 1870. President Francis L. Patton,
of Princeton, Is down on the programme
for nn address on the subject of the re
union, and there will be other speakers
of national reputation to follow him.
lint the greatest Interest Is In the
probable business of the general as
sembly, the deliberations) of which will
continue through three weeks. The In
terminable ltrlggs cuho is one of tho
subjects to be passed upon. Then there
Is the relationship of the theological
seminaries to the general assembly,
which Is a business question. Hut more
important still Is the future attitude of
the Presbyterian church to the gradu
ates of Union Theological seminary, In
volving the question of the fitness of
men who have come under tho Influence
of Dr. ltrlggs nnd his coterlo to receive
ordination to the Prepibyterlan ministry.
PltMlmrg is a conservative center, anil
on all these question the crowds which
always till tho galleries during sessions
of the general assembly will be In sym
pathy with the antl-ltrlggs faction.
Liberals Arc Increasing.
This year the proportion of liberals
Is greater than it has been for years.
There are many more young nnd un
known commissioners than have been
chosen In recent yearn and It Is believed
that these men have liberal affiliations.
They will have a candidate of their
own for moderator. The plan Is to ad
vance Dr. Beecher, of Auburn, N. Y.,
but It is possible that Dr. Heerher will
not attend. In that event the liberals
will muster around Dr. George Alex
ander, of the University Place church.
New York. Dr. Alexander has been
the head of the llrlggs party in New
York, for five years. Through his
leadership 'he has earned a national
reputation In the church, and so ranks
In the class of available candidates for
moderator. Although Dr. Alexander Is
a Princeton man, he is a firm friend of
Union seminary. ,
The conservatives have Bottled upon
Dr. Robert Russell Booth, of New York
city, as their candidate for moderator.
He has been foremost among the anti
Uriggs fighters ever since the subject
was raised some years ago. He Is pas
tor of the ancient Rutgers church, and
he is a man of deep study and ready
eloquence. With these two candidates
the division between liberals and con
servatives will be sharp and decisive.
To Humiliate Dr. ltrlggs.
There Is a movement manifest among
the extreme conservatives to bring up
the question of Dr. iBrlggs' deposition
from the ministry. That will depend
on the results of the contest for moder
ator. Dr. Brlggs is now under suspen
sion, and the year for which this sen
tence runs expires shortly after the ad
journment of the last ireneral assem
bly. During that year Dr. Urlggs con
tinued to occupy a-position In the Union
seminary which can be held only by a
regularly ordained Presbyterian minis
ter and he has repeatedly appeared In
pulpits as a lecturer. Moreover the
conservatives ore of opinion that Dr.
Brlggs Intend to turn his back on the
Presbyterian church, and it Is their In
tention to make his humiliation com
plete before this event takes place. Dr.
Brlggs has been taking communion at
a Protestant Episcopal church, and, ac
cording to the office of that church, no
one not a member should accept com
munion there unless It Is hla intention
to conform to the church. All of Dr.
BrlggsV family, although, tlwy wiere
raised In the Presbyterian faith, have
conformed to the Episcopal church.
Seminaries Are Obstinate.
The theological seminary question,
which has been before the church for
three years, will probably be continued
In its present condition undisturbed.
This question was raised by nn effort
to acquire for the general assembly a
closer supervision over the several In
dependent corporations known as Pres
bvterlnn Theological seminaries. But
this effort has been met by such deter
mined opposition .from the semlnnry
corporations, who were unwilling to
surrender their autonomy, that tho
conservatives are In no mind to press
the question to a vote. A committee hns
bepn In negotiation with the seminaries
with a view to obtaining their consent
to a chnnge of management, nnd this
commltteo can be continued if the con
servatives have the moderator without
raising the troublesome question.. The
negotiations aB they have, progressed
amount at present to nil. None of the
seminaries, except the Inconsiderable
Infant Institution In Omaha, has ac
cepted the terms of assembly control
over their funds and their Instruction.
Alllegheny, Auburn, McCormack and
Union are against It. Princeton takes
action this week, and It Is understood
here that Princeton will come to the as
sembly with a resolution placing Itself
absolutely In the assembly hands. But
even that uncertain action may not
lead the conservatives to carry their
propositions concerning the seminaries
to a vote.
lichctlioua Attltudo of l one.
The rebellions attitude of Lane semin
ary, which called for the appointment
of a committee of visitation last year,
continues In aggravated form, whllo
the new president Is openly hostile to
any assembly Interference with the In
stitution. This may result In trouble
on the floor of the assembly.
Union seminary students and their
relation to the Presbyteries 'will come
up for discussion undera memorial from
the New . York presbytery. Although
Union seminary is under a formal ban
of the church, the Presbyteries have no
rule to guide them when the question
of endorsing their students come up.
So the assembly hus been asked by
overture to determine upon the policy
to be pursued by Presbyteries In such
canes. This question raises the whole
subject at Issue between tho lirlggs and
antl-Urlggs men, and there Is bound to
be a fiery discussion between commis
sioners on the floor of the assembly.
Other questions of minor Interest are
expected to arise.
HER DRESS ON EIRE.
Mrs. Frniindlnc's Narrow F.scupo from an
Awful Death.
Special to the Herunlon Tribune.
Htroiidsburg, Pa., May G. Mrs. Froun
dlne, a German lady living on Thomas
Btreet, was nearly roasted to death yes
terday by having her dress catch lire
while she was burning brush In her gar
den. The screams of the woman
brought her neighbor, Mrs. Jerome
Slutter, to the scene, who, taking In the
situation at a glance, rushed to her
house and tore a piece of carpet from
tho floor and wrapped It around the
woman nnd smothered the (lames.
Mrs. Froundlne was carried to the
house and a physician summoned, who
found she had been severely, If not
dangerously burned, on the entire por
tion of her back and urms. Remedies
were applied and the woman Is resting
as comfortably as tho severe nature of
her Injuries will allow.
LEHIGH VALLEY ROMANCE.
A Story Concerning Crookedness of
Officials Is Stoutly Denied by General
Agent Dnylo.
Buffalo, N. Y., May J.. The Times
published today the alleged finding by
detectives who have been assigned by
ex-Postmaster General Blssell, as at
torney for the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company, of persons who have for two
years been practicing wholesulo raids
on the railroad company and its con
necting lines, the Lehigh Valley Trans
portation company. The story printed
In the Times Is to the following effect:
"It is disclosed that certain trusted
olllulals of the road have been changing
freight, selling it to friends at nominal
prices and pocketing the rebates, nnd
have also shipped cars of flour and feed,
sold It for their own Interests and In
cluded It Intlieir loss reports to the lost
and damage freight agent at Bethle
hem, Pa. For over a year the officials
of the road have been alarmed over the
great amount of freight reported dam
aged at Buffalo and the great shortages
in cargoes. Mr. Blssell's firm was ad
vised to use every effort to discover tho
leak, but the men they employed failed,
and finally Mr. Blssell was requested
to devote himself to the case. Detec
tives have been watching Superintend
ent Lancelot. Their reports show that
he had half a dozen employes leagued
with him In a systematic scheme to rob
the stores. It is estimated that in two
years the Lehigh Valley lost SiiO.OOO
Tioi"! of goods from the transfer house.
No arrests have been made."
In an Interview this afternoon Gen
eral Agent Doyle, of the Lehigh Valley,
on being asked what ho hnd to say con
cerning the alleged crookedness, suld:
"The sensational story In this morn
ing's paper Is simply absurd, and was
doubtless prompted by Improper mo
tives. There has been no shortage of
$50,000, or of nny other sum, and any
investigation that may have been had
was In the ordinary course of business,
and in the line of good administration
of the company's affairs. Mr. Lancelot,
who Is referred to In the article. Is an
excellent official, who enjoys and Is
entitled to tho confidence of the com
pany and Its patrons, and a similar
statement may be made regarding the
other employes attacked."
Superintendent Beach was present
during the Interview. He fully con
curred In' everything General Doyle
said, snd in addition stated: "Mr.
Lancelot Is regnrded by the company as
man of unquestionable integrity nnd
fidelity to the company's Interest."

Two I'hyslcians Tire nt Ench Other
with Deadly Effect.
AN KKKING WOMAN IN THE CASE
Dr. Samuel I. Swain Finds Ills Wife In
a Compromising Position with
Dr. Kmilo lllrnrt nnd a
Deadly Duel Results.
New Orleans, May 5. A fearful trag
edy was committed here today. An
injured husband caught his erring wife
In bed with a man. Simultaneously the
men drew pistols, n number of shots
were exchanged, and In a minute one
man lay on the bed gasping from mor
tul wounds, und the other wus on his
way to the police station In charge of
an olllcer. The wi man In the case was
not hurt. The three actors In the
tragedy were Dr. Samuel P. Swain
ami wife, and Dr. Emlle Hlrtirt, all of
Pl.iquemlne, La. Dr. lllrart and Mrs.
Swain urrlved here on Friday and reg
istered at a house on Liberty street as
C. J. Smith nnd wife. They remained
In their room, scarcely leaving It for
longer than half an hour nt a time.
This moinlng. Dr. Swain, who had
followed his wife and her lover, en
tered the place by a side door and made
hla way to tne room occupied by the
pair, He drew his pistol and fired live
shots, while the man who was killed
fired six shots, none of them hitting Dr.
Swain. The latter Immediately ran out
of the house tight into the arms of a
policeman. The doctor was placed un
der arrest and taken to the police sta
tion. The police sergeant then quickly
went to the scene of the shooting to as
certain the extent of the wounded
man's Injuries. When the sergeant
reached the place the man was still
alive and a physician, who was called
in as soon as possible, was attending
him. The physician said th-it the cape
was hopeless, and while he was talking
thu man expired.
Woman Wns Very Cool.
The woman who was the cause of the
trouble whs seated by the bed where
the wounded man lay. She was fully
dressed and was remarkably cool. She
said she was Mrs. S. P. Swain, but
would not state whether or not tho man
who did the killing was her husband,
and refused to give the name of the
dead man. All she would say was that
he was a deserter and came from one of
the parishes .She demnnded to be taken
to the police station at once. She was
taken there but resolutely refused to
say anything, except that she would
speak In court only. She was held as a
material witness.
From Dr. Swain it was learned that
tho Intimacy between Mrs. Swain nnd
the dead man was of long standing,
and he told nn Interesting story of his
troubles, llo said that nbout two
months ago. In Iberville parish, he and
Dr. Harart mot on the public road and
had a shooting affray In which neither
wns hurt. Dr. Swain expressed pleas
ure when Informed that his man was
dead. The woman In the case Is per
haps 26 years of age, and by no means
ttraetive. At the hend of the bed In
which tho man was killed, was a hook,
the title of which was "Her Last
Lover."

day, but they reached the village and
Delos Dolllver's saw mill, with
ten million feet of hemlock logs,
twelve hundred feet of the Erie railway
track, sixteen cars and six dwelling
houses were burned.

TAUSS WAS BUNCOED.
Paid $53.45 for n Dux of Sawdust and
Other Unhhlsh.
Abraham Tauss, an Arabian peddler,
of Seventh street, has been victimized
by a New York sharper.
Tauss Saturday paid WAa to tho
Adams Express company on a package
of trinkets which he hnd ordered sent
C. O. D. from George Paha, of 42 Broad
way, New York city. The package was
found to contain sawdust nnd other
rubbish.
According to the rules of the express
comimny the agent here had no right
to hold the money In Scrnnton. Ho
wns obliged to forward It to New York
despite tho protests of Peddler Tauss,
but wired the New York olilce the cir
cumstances of the case. It is probable
that steps will be successfully taken by
the company to prevent the delivery of
the money. Meanwhile Attorney Jo
eph O'Brien has been engaged to see
that he Is protected In the matter.

FREIGHT CAR FOR A PULPIT.
It Was Movable nnd Nelhell Left His
Andicneo llclilnd. '
A young man bet weening his hearers
to turn from tho paths of sin and give
themselves to God, attracted a largo
crowd on Lackawanna avenue, near the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
station Saturday. The ppeaker was
Gus Nelbell, who had a freight car for
his pulpit.
The crowd soon became so largo that
It surged aoroHB and blocked the ave
nue, and the police were compelled to
Interfere. Theft the orator retreated
farther Into the railrond yard, nnd.
mounting another car. proceeded to
complete his discourse.
But ho was doomed to be Interfered
with again. While In;, was, In fervid
language, warning his hearers to shun
the bottomless pit, an engine wns iit
Inched to the train of which the car
on which ho was stnnillng wns a part,
and the speaker was forcibly carried
away from, his audience.
Nelbell is a religious enlhuslst. He
wus converted during tho fihlverea re
vival meetings, nnd has since been an
enthusiastic exhorter.
WARMEST DAY OF YEAR.
Much Suffering About tho City Ycstcrday
froin the Heat.
Perspiring humanity hereabouts suf
fered from the heat yesterday as they
had not. suffered for months.
At ii o'clock in the morning the sun
was actively at work and no cool breezes
served to temper Its persplratlon-draw-Ing
powers. Each hour the heat in
creased and when the morning wor
shippers were returning from service
about npon the heat seemed to have
reached the wilting point.
At 1 p. m. black clouds obscured the
sky, and the ominous rolling of thunder
advised the heat sufferers that a storm
was brewing. Soon It burst in great
fury, and for an hour the rain descend
ed in torrents. Alter that the storm
clouds rolled away, the sun again ap
Tieared and the heat returned. Towards
evening cool breezes tempered the atmo
Bphere and the night was very comfort
able. Late In the afternoon hundreds. of
promenadern appeared upon the streets
In all the bravery of fetching spring at
tire, and lent kaleidoscopic effects to the
picture that Fashion and Beauty pre
sented. The young woman with the Tril'by,
Napoleon and lijitch bonnet was In evi
dence and so was her sister with the
artificial violets end a smile Ukewls?
artificial. The escorts of these charm
ing creatures proved that the study of
fashion plates is not the exclusive pre
rogative of the weaker sex. They had
bedecked themselves with the latunt
creations of the tailor, hat and S'-arf-mjiker,
and were quite as proud of the
general effect as were the young ladles
of the delightful pictures they pre
sented. Many stylish turnouts were seen on
the drives about the city and on the
boulevard during the afternoon, rind
the electric cars carried hundreds to
Nay Aug park, points In tho suburbs
and up and down the valley.
At nearly all of the chuivhes a slight
decrease In the night attendance was
accounted for by the heat.
Outdoors It was .most pleasant and
suggested hammocks and comfortable
easy chairs on broad verandas rather
than churches, sermons and prayers.
LOSSES IN SALT.
F.xplnlns tho Joining of Interests hy Four
Scrnnton i oinpanics.
Four salt companies, whos? mines
are located In western New York state,
but the stock of which Is chiefly owned
by Scranlon business men. have decid
ed upon a rigid co-operation in future.
The reason for the Joining of interests
is explained in the competition of the
past, which. It Is claimed, has been
so great that the companies have been
conducted at nn actual loss.
A gentleman Interested In the new
plan slnted to a Tribune reporter-last
night that the future policy will be
somewhat after the plan of the coal
trade. The outputs will be graded ac
cording to capacity and prices based
upon a reasonable profit will be estab
lished. The business of the four con
cerns will be managed from one office,
which will be located In this city In the
Commonwealth building.

During the storm yesterday afternoon
the house of Michael Mei.nre, on Cayuga
street, wns struck by lightning. A num
ber of the family were seated on the front
stoop watching the storm, when n very
bright Hash followed by a loud clap vt
thunder frightened them. Tho bolt had
struck one of the chimneys and knocked
down half of the stack which was nbove
the roof, nnd going along the Hues slightly
cracked tho plastering nnd destroyed Hie
wall paper, also scattering the soot from
the chimney ond the llorr, destroying th
carpets.
