NOW READY TO PUT ON MORE MEN Higher Tariff Would Insure a Bie Demand for Iho Producllittle Protection Now GivewOnlf 20 Cent Difference Uctwecn the Stttn dard American Grade and the Foreign. Now York, Nov. 23. Manufacturers of tin plate throughout the country ana their asents In this city are look ins forward to a season of greater prosperity than has yet been known in the Industry, and are making rapid preparations to nupply the constantly increasing demand for their product. The Impression, held in some quar ters, that the price is to he advanced 15 to 25 cents a box, as the outcome of the Pittsburg meeting last Friday, ts stated to be somewhat wide of the mark. One of the members of a well known firm said today. "In view of the various statements made I think it better to make the statement exact. The l'ittsburg agree ment is not to go Into effect Dee. 1, as has been announced. It is In effect already, and has been since last spring. It was simply renewed at the meeting Friday. Thu basis of price agreed up on Is $3.65 per box of 14x20, I. C. cokes, which is our standard weight and qunl Ity, weighing 107 pounds to the box. There are also proportionate differen tials from lighter and heavier weights. This charge covers delivery at New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and all Intermediate points as far West as Milwaukee. To other points the freight tariff is added to the cost. This agreement embraces practically every manufacturer, with possibly one exception, in the gas belt, and there is little doubt but that he, too. will enter. As to the outlook for the lndustry.com pared with the foreign products, we are fully satisfied. The foreign plate today could not possibly be Imported tinder 20 cents a ton over our prices, and It is a mistake to suppose that we are only a fraction below them. -With a somewhat Increased tariff, we can es tablish a great demand for the home product. "There are few. If any, mills In the west which have sold their products as far ahead as June or July, although there may be some Instances. Most, however, have orders sufficient to run their mills on full If not over time to the end of the year. HIGH TARIFF NECESSARY. "It has been stated that orders have been placed with manufactures aggre gating 750.000 tons. I wish this were so, but It Is not, for that amount would mean a demand more than double the capacity of the mills. There Is no pos sible way for any one to discover what orders have been placed, as it Is not likely that manufacturers will open their books to their competitors. It can, however, be paid that there Is a largely increased demand, and that Is as far as we can go. An increase will be made In the forces of men employed If the tariff warrants it." A manufacturer of tin plate who has just reached this city, coming from the meeting at Pittsburg, said that he believed there would be a great boom in the industry during the coming ad ministration. "We had the most harmonious meet ing," said he, "that has been held In our history, and the agreement was reached without discord. I believe that this was due largely to the result of the election and the certainty of pros perity in the trade. It was hoped be fore the meeting that most manufactur ers would enter the agreement, but it was thought probable that there would be a few opposed to It. W'e were, there fore, more than surprised at' the prac tical unanimity of choice." DELAWARE PEOPLE EXCITED. Despatch from Madrid Concerning the Spanish Flag Prod noes Ague. New Oatsle, Del., Nov. 23. The peo ple of New Castle are much exercised over the dispatch from Madrid In ref erence to the alleged burning of a Spanish flag here ln.Bt Wednesday night. The incident has been exag gerated. The members of Company II, lk'laware national guard, had held a reception and nearly all had gone, when some one called the remarks in a speech by Hev. V. S. Collins, in which he said the belligerent rights of the Cubans ought to be recognized. There were then about a dozen men present and one enthusiast Is said to have jumped on a table and tore down a Spanish ting used In the decorations nnd destroyed it by burning it. Some even sny it was not a Spanish flag. The officers of the regiment will inves tigate the matter, which attracted no attention until the dispatch from Mad rid was received.

Three weeks ago Ktells. the 14-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, of Kaglevllle, Center county, was bit ten by the old house cat Th girl v:i3 playing with several kittens when the mother jumped at her and burled it. teeth In the forefinger of the girl's right hand. Three days later, the old cat showed unmistakable sligns of hy drophobia and died. The bitten girl was. under advice of a doctor, placed in a dark room, where he can neither see water nor hear It running. As yet no symptoms of rab ies have appeared, but the girl will be kept quiet for at least a fortnight yet. POVERTY AFTER EASY DIVORCE. Hundred or Deserted Wive in a Western Town. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 23. The officers of a Topeka charitable institution yes terday made the remarkable statement that there are over 400 deserted wives In this city of 3.1.000 Inhabitants, and that every day adds to the list of the deserted or divorced women who ap peal for work or solicit,, funds with which to buy bread for themselves and their children. The charitable society which has made the Investigation attributes this condition to hard times and the gen eral worthlessness of the men. The divorce mill in Topeka Is run ning on steadily. Every week divorc es are granted to men and women, in compatibility of temper being the gen eral charge. CRANK ASSAILS A CONVENT. Assaulted Xuaa nnd When Arrested Tried to Cat Hi Throat. Raitlmore, Md.. Nov. 23. A crank. Who had tried late at night to force an entrance Into the Highlandtown Ger man convent, on the eastern suburbs of this city, was captured yesterday evening by Father Dressman, a priest of the Church of the Sacred Heart, near the convent. Two weeks ago, the crank accosted two of the nuna on Highland avenue. He rushed at them and tore the veils from their faces, and escaped. Thursday night he rang the door bell of the convent, and when one of the sisters answered, used such re volting language that she ran away In fright. Last evening tbt man again rang the convent door bell, and when Sister Theresa opened the door he de manded money. .She slammed the door shut. Then there was a Violent kicking at the door, and the air resounded with the curses. "They shut me out." he said, "because I am a Free Mason and an Odd Fellow, but I'm saa good a Human Catholic as any one-tise." 1 -When arraigned before ' the county magistrate the prisoner drew a razor out of his pocket and said, "I'll cut my bloody throat." An officer wrenched the weapon from his grasp. He gave the name of Oscar Andreas, of .Wash ington, I). C. SELF-CONFESSED EMBEZZLER. John If. Holler Made Way HitliJ110,. UUO in Six Years. Lebanon, Pa., Nov. 23. John II. Hof fer, for twelve years cashier of the First National bank of Lebanon, is a self-confessed embezzler. An examin ation of bis books show a defalcation amounting to nearly $110,000. He has confessed Judgment to the bank for $:!0,000. His bond cannot be found. It is not known what amount it is for, nor who are the sureties. The em bezzlement covers a period of six years, and the bank has been examined a dozen times since the peculations be gan without discovery. Hoffer is under surveillance at his residence In this city and will be ar rested and taken before the United States commissioner at Harrisburg. Marshall Winchester, United Slates hank examiner, has reported the short age to Comptroller of the Currency Kckles, and the bank directors hav ing made good all the money stolen, the bank did business as usual. A statement has been issued by the di rectors In which they personally assume all the liabilities of the bank. What made the defalcations of Cash ier Hoffer so surprising is that he en Joyed the trust and confidence of the community to a very large extent. Al though his numerous purchases of real estat frequently occasioned comment no one for a moment thought otherwise than that he was a shrewd business man, a careful financier and strictly honest. In consequence he held a num ber of positions of trust outside of the bank. He has for years been the sec retpy or treasurer, frequently both, of several lodges the Mount Lebanon Cem etery association, the Sons of America Hall association and other enterprises. He was frequently consulted on the subject of real estate Investments and his advice was considered good by many persons. PETROLEUM MOTORS. Manhattan Railroad Experimenting With the Eiplosive Stall. New York, Nov, 23. Another motive power petroleum Is to be experiment ed with on the Manhattan Elevated railroad. The system has already been used on one of the government torpedo boats, and is now. being put into the government tug Nina. To hiatal the system in an ordinary locomotive will make no change in its external appearance. All dust, smoke and cinders will be done away with, and the locomotive can make the same run it has been accustomed to make with Just half the weight of fuel. When seen today Inventor J. S. Zerbe, said: "The system has several Important dif ferences from others heretofore operat ed, particularly in the way that the oil ts fed into the fire box. It has been the custom to inject the oil against a wall or within on arch. This system inverts the method. The spray la forced In over a peculiarly formed brick bed and not under It. As en gineers says 'an arch never sleeps,' and when used is constantly giving way. This system dispenses with all arches or costly brick structures within the fire box. There will be no Vent In the oil tank to give obnoxious inhalittons, as an entirely new system has been de vised for preventing this." Mr. Zerbe also said that a locomotive engineer could learn to take charge of an engine fitted up with the system within three days. BET ON AN ANCIENT GAME. Spicer Berry, a Jay from Corning, Swindled Out of 92,800. Corning, N. Y Nov. 23. Spicer Ber ry, a retired business man and a large real estate owner, was the victim of an old-time swindle of tin box and three card trick today. For several days a well dressed man has been here trying to arrange for the purchase of one of 1 Jerry's farms at Canton, near here. Today the supposed land purchuser and Berry started out to drive to see the farm, met a poorly dressed fellow, who said he was from the south, and had lost a sum of money at cards In this place last night. The southerner did not mourn much, as he displayed a large roll of bills and had money in every pocket. He began to show the three card trick at which he lost his money last evening. The well dressed swindler and Berry became Interested, and the former bet $5 with the second stranger, which he won. Then he sug gested to Kerry that they play for a stake of $5,000, of which the well dressed stranger was to furnish $2,200 and IJer ry $2,800. Herry consented and came to the city and drew the money from the bank. They returned and found the poorly dressed Btranger waiting for them. The money was placed in a tin box, and the swindler said he would have to go to Klin Ira to get the $2,200. Hoth the swindlers consented to allow Berry to take care of the box anu they started off. When Herry opened the box he found It contained nothing but a stone and some paper. STARVING IN BROOKLYN. The Claimant to n i,000,000 Es tate Threatens Suicide. Now' York, Nov. 2i Mrs. J. T. ,7a rocke, 64 years old, was found starving at home at 43 Smith street, Brooklyn, this morning by Police Captain O'Reil ly. Last Saturday she wrote a letter to the editor of the Washington Star stating that she was going to commit suicide. The letter was remailed from Washington to Superintendent McKel vey, who sent Captain O'Reilly to In vestigate the case. For more than twenty years Mrs. Jarocke conducted a news stand out side of the old Brooklyn postoftlce. She asserts that she is one of seven claim ants to $2,000,000 which she alleges was sent to this country by the Russian government years ago to the relatives of General Pulaski, who was killed at the siege of Savannah In 1781.

GOMEZ lias at His Command 33,000 Well Equipped Men and Will Proceed to Havana Provincc-'Wcyler's State ment Regarded as an Admission of Weakness. . Washington, Nov. 23. The Spanish legation is not likely to make any complaint to this government with ref erence to the action of the students at New Castle, Del., a few days ago, who destroyed a Spanish flag. There Is no Spanish consul at New Castle and the Incident, to that extent, was robbed of nn olflclal character, moreover both the Spanish, and the American govern ments have reached so perfect an un derstanding with reference to circum stances of this character that little if any Importance Is attached to them. It was said at the state department today, that if a Spanish Has displayed from a Spanish consulate or war Bhip had fceen offered an indignity the at tention of the state department would be at once directed to the matter and a suitable apology demanded. It is re garded as not unlikely that the "Jingo" press of Spain may attempt to magnify the Incident, but there is excellent au thority for the statement that it will receive no otlleial nttention either at the hands of the American or Spanish authorities. New York. Nov. 23. The protracted silence of Commander in Chief Max imo Gomez, of the Cuban army, which had caused considerable anxiety among Cubans here as to his 'safety has at last been broken, and the Junta In this city has received a communication from him dated Las Villas, Santa Clara prov ince. In it General Gomez says that he has at his command So.OiK) well equipped men, and that with these ho Intends to proceed to Havana province. The commander in chief writes that on account of the bad condition of the roads, it took this force of men twelve hours to pa3 a certain point. General Gomez adds that he is In good health, as are his men, and has every hope of victory. WEYLER'S STATEMENT. Qeneral Weyler's statement that he will wait until after Christmas before he attempts to strike a death bohv at the Insurgents under General Maceo In Pinar Del Rio province, is regarded by Cubans here as an admission that he can do nothing against the Cubans in their present invulnerable position. Madrid, Nov. 23. Many contradictory statements have been received regard ing the Intentions of Captain General Weyler In his campaign against Maceo In the province of Pinar Del Klo, Cuba. It was stated some days ago that the campaign had resulted in failure and that General Weyler purposed return ing to Havana. This was denied, and later the statement was made that the government had Informed General Weyler that owing to questions of In ternational and domestic politics, it would not he expedient for him to re turn to Havana until he had won a de cisive victory over the rebels. On top of the conflicting statements comes a dispatch today from the Havana cor respondent of the Imparclal, who Is generally well Informed, stating with out reserve that General Weyler will arrive in Havana this evening from Pinar Del Rio. Reliance is placed upon the dispatch here, it being held that If It were not true It could hardly have passed the censor at Havana. NIAGARA HARNESSED.

JOHNS TAKES CARBOLIC ACID. Woman Attempts to Kill Her Six Children Before She Dies. Waukesha, Wis., Nov. 23. Mrs. Eliz abeth Johns ended her life early this morning by drinkihg carbolic acid, af ter having attempted to pour the same poison down the throats of her two younger children, aged 3 and 5 years. That she Intended to destroy her en tile family is evident from the fact that the top was removed from the coal stove in the room where Mrs. Johns and her six children slept, and the damper in the stove pipe was shut close.
