COMPLAINT AGAINST QEN. REEDER

iiuil.rr's N'muc
Enton. l'a , Pept 12 General Tranl;
Hitder, of this city, who, nt the ie
(luest of Goeinor Hastings, 1ms Just
reIgnrd the offlce of secietary of the
commonwealth, a place that pays about
$20 000 a pal1 was ni tested vesteidnj,
nftcinoon on chaiKesof hiiliery brought
tit the Instance of friends of John'Wana
niaKci, of Philadelphia The suit Is 10
gauled as part of the campaign of the
antl-Qua force i In this state Fellow
defendants with Geneial Reeder are
Aseml "ymnn Vebter C Weiss and
Maui Ice C Luekenbncli, both well
known citizens of Rethlehem. Each
has enteied $2 000 ball and waived a
netting, earning the case to the Crlml
rnl court, which will meet here on Mon
day. The complaint was made before Jus
tice of the Pence Koch, of Pen Argyle,
and the warrant was Issued jesterday
It was swoin to by a man named
Chniles Chobei t. No one here knows
who he Is Harry JIackey, a lawyer of
Uangor, who Is nn attorney for Sir.
"U'anamaker, offered $10 to Constable
IJoss, of Uangor, jesteiday If he would
seive the papers, but Ross declined.
There are three Informations The
first declares that General Reeder and
Luckenlmch "conspired together to de
fame the iiood name of John Wana
rnaker by attempting to havo him offer
a bribe to said Weiss to sccuie Weiss'
vote for "Wanamaker for United States
senator" last fall. The second Infor
mation says that the three "did con
spire together to bribe the said Weiss."
The thlul statement Is that Detective
Tlllard offered to bribe Weiss.
All this grows out of the hult for tol
bery brought against E A. Van Val
Kenburg, Sir Wanamaker's man, who
was aucsted last fall on a charge of
attempting to bribe Assembbman
Welbs, and who Is to have his trial
next week at Pottsville. All the ac
cused men are w Itnesses in this case.
WITNESS WINSBORO.
The lnfounatlon was furnished to the
Wanamaker ptople, It is said, by Wil
liam Wlnsboio, of Hangor. He was a
Mute opeiatoi theie, and was a dose
f i lend of General Rccdi r.t one time.
He went oxer to the anti-Quay crcwd.
Last winter ho suddenly disappeared,
and It was found that his money affairs
weie in a veiy bad way. He had failed
for 30 000.
The Wanamaker and Van Valketiberg
people know that It was WInsboro who
introduced Detective Tlllaul to Assem
bljman Wels, to whom the detective
offered R000 If he would vote for Wan
amaker. The Wanamaker peopl sent
L U. Camden, a Bangor nion, acioss
tho continent to find Wlnsboro. He
found him In California and brought
him back That trip cost the Wana
maker people $1,C00 Since his leturn
Wlnsboio, -nil o has no means of sup
poit, has lived In Asbury Park with his
famllv. He told a filend the other day
that he expected to make enough this
year to ptv off his indebtedness. He is
a w itness In tho case against Van Vul
kenberg next week, and that case will
hav3 a diieet bearing on the cases
of Reeder, Weiss and Luckenbach.
The allegations In the Van Valken
lirlg case are that he gao the detective
money with which to bilbe Weiss. The
pros-rcutinn kiv- that it learned of Van
Valkenbcrg's offer and followed up tho
cas?, securing evidence siitlltlent to
convict.
When the constable entered General
Boeder's office to serve the warrant this
nfteinoon Assembly man Weiss happen
ed to be theie, and the countable served
the papeis on him also. After this the
officer went to Uethlehem and arrested
Mr. Luckenbach. The anest of Gen
oral Reeder, following so closely upon
his resignation at Harrlsburg, has con
vinced his fi lends that he Is being used
us a means for striking at Senator
Quay.

CHEATER GOTHAM CUUUCI1ES.
Total ofl,115 IMnccs of Worship with

On and after Jan. 1, ISIS, Brooklyn,
says tho Sun, will cease to hold unchal
lenged Its title of "the City of Church
es," nnd the greater New York will suc
ceed to Its supremacy In that respect.
There are rtO churches In New York
city, 413 In Brooklyn, 01 on Staten
Island, and 51 In the part of Queens
county to be annexed to tho si eater
New York after Jan. 1. Long Island
City Included, making a total of 1,115
places of woishlp in tho Gieiter Now
York
There are 89 Catholic churches In,
New York city, 7S In Brooklyn, 7 on
Staten Island and 11 in Queens county
towns. There are S Episcopal church
es In New York, 51 In Brooklyn, 12 on
Staten Island, nnd 10 In Queens countv,
or. nt least In that portion of Queens
toiinty Included In tho Gi cater New
York There are CS Methodist churches
In New York, 70 in Brooklyn, 9 on
Staten Island.and S in the Queens coun
ty towns There are 5S Presbyterian
chinches in New York, 37 in Brooklyn,
2 on Staten Island and 1 in the Queens
county towns There are 52 Baptist
chinches in New York, 44 in Brooklyn,
fi on Staten Island, and 5 in the Queens
county tow ns. There are .11 Lutheran
chuiches In New York, 3G In Brooklyn,
3 on Staten Island, and 5 in the Queens
county towns. Theie are 11 Congrega
tional churches In New York, 2J In
Brooklyn, nnd I In Queens county.
It will be observed that the Metho
dists, the Lutherans, and the Congre
gatlonallsts (the last decidedly so) have
moic churches In Brookljn than they
have In the city of New York. Rela
tively there are fewer Catholics and
Episcopalians In Brooklyn than there
are In New York city. There are 51
Jewish synagogues In New York, 10 In
Brooklyn, and 1 on Staten Island, a
total of 71 in the greater New York.
There are 4 Moravian churches on
Staten Island and 3 Refoimed Dutch
churches. The number of Reformed
Dutch churches In New York is 30 and
in Brooklyn 29, bringing up the total
in the new city to 62. There are 2
Quaker meeting houses In New York, 2
in Biooklyn, and 1 In Tlushlng. There
are 3 Unitarian churches In New York,
4 in Brookln, and 1 on Staten Island.
There are 3 Unlversallst churches In
New Yoi k and 5 In Brooklyn.
A total of 1,115 places of worship In
one cltv Is certainly remarkable when
It Is taken Into consideration that the
total population of the new city is 3,
300,000, or at the rate of one church to
every 3,000 inhabitants, a very large
proportion In a cltv. The seating ca
pacity of the greater New York
churches Is in excess of 730,000.
ALTHUIS.M IN ANIMALS.
Somc of Them Miowrrinndly and Un
sclfifih Trnits.
rrom the Chicago News.
A Trench scientist has lately written
an interesting paper on altruism in
animals, arriving at the startling con
clusion that animals are perhaps bet
ter Chilstlans than men. He says
"Animal societies are less polished,
but pet haps more humane, all things
being equal, than our own," and gives
several Instances of animal species
made use of by another and pei form
ing services for the latter without re
ceiving anj thing In exchange.
Among others Is mentioned the case
of the crocodile and the bird trochllus
on tho banks of the NIle.Thia bhd
performs two services for the croco
dile. It enters Into Its mouth and dis
patches there the worms and leeches
which trouble the crocodile; It flies
rapidly away, giving vent to a peculiar
cry, when the ichneumon, the enemy
of the crocodile, approaches, thus ap
prising its companion of the Ichneu
mon's presence. In return the cioco
dlle shakes Its tail whenever It wishes
to close its mouth, thus giving the blid
warning. The ciocodlle in no wise le
compenses, but contents itself simply
with lespectlng the person of tho little
animal The service lendered is
unilateral But It Is easy to under
stand that by the exercise of extremely
lltle intelllgenc, if not unconsciously
th ciocodlle may be led to defend its
trechllus.
Sometimes one animal will borrow
tho servlec of another temporarily, as
In the case of the seipent who is fer
red across the river by a duck, or, as
frequently seen, several animals as
sist one another in crossing streams of
water, in lifting large stones, In mov
ing the trunks of trees, In construct
ing dams, In hunting or In mutual de
fense. Aphlds, who have the power of
secreting an abdominal fluid of which
ants are passionately fond, are kept
by the ants in stables like milch cows
and carefully watched.

SOMETHING ABOUT
SPAIN'S BOY KING
The Ten-Ycar-Old Sovereign and Ills
Strong-Willed Mother.
SHE HAS KEPT MM UNDER CONTROL
Ho Is n Proud Littlo Fellow, with tho
Arrogunco of Ills Itncc, but in tho
Queen Recent He Ilns n, Superior
Who Knows How to Rule.
While the fathers and mothers nre
Interested In the war thnt haa brought
Spain Into such prominence, our "little
men and women," says the Ladles'
Homo Companion, will want to hear
about tho littlo ten-year-old king. We
have been fortunate In securing an
excellent portrait of him in the cadet's
uniform, when reviewing the troops be
fore proceeding to Cuba. Few sons,
royal or otherwise, have over owed so
much to their mother as Alphonso
XIII., of Spain. Although ho was tho
most puny and delicate of Infants, he
has, under her unremlttent care, each
year from his babyhood become more
lobust. Afflicted by nature with the
most dlfilcult temper, he has, under her
Arm guidance, learned to respect and
to obey, and is already acquiring the
flrst of virtues, that of self-command.
Although born a king, he has been
taught to understand that In his home
life he stands, and must throughout
his boyhood continue to stand, in com
plete subjection to his mother. The
tribute to the chaiacter of this strong
nnd gieat woman Is supported by
Stuart Cumbetland, a ' thought reader"
of European fame, who thus speaks of
her Majesty: "I have experimented
with many women of note empresses,
queens, gieat authoi esses, artists, trav
elers, most of them women of known
strong chancter, but for dow might
concentration of thought and deter
mination of purpose, I have scarcely
met the equal of the Queen Regent of
Spain."
With this ns a keynote to the secret
of the little monarch's life-training, it
is not surprising to learn that the sick
ly, "cioss" baby has developed Into a
fine specimen of sturdy boyhood, both
morally and physically.
HIS SHORT CAREER.
He was born on May 17, 18SG, near
Madrid, six months after the death of
his father, Alfonso XII., when his sis
ters, the Infantas Maria de las Mer
cedes and Mai la Theresa, were respec
tively sk and four years of age. The
Palace del Pardo, a gloomy residence
about eight miles from the capital, was
the scene of the young king's birth, his
mother having removed there some
time before, much to the annoyance of
the Spaniards, who considered that the
daik forest and the high wall, over
fifty miles In length, shut her off too
completely from her people.
From his Infancy the etiquette of the
country has demanded that the king
should preside on certain occasions at
state councils, at tho reception of the
representatives of foreign courts, and
at special services in the Cathedral of
Madrid. An amusing story Is told of
his Majesty on one such occasion, when
he was too young to understand, but
not too young to be bored. A bishop
was preaching a long sermon, and the
monarch's experience had taught him
he was expected to remain till It was
concluded. A quarter of an hour, half,
three-quarters passed, and still the
bishop preached on. At last the child
felt that he could endure it no more,
and tearing1 off his littlo gloves, he
Hung them almost at the bishop's feet,
with such a look of anger and Im
patience that the preacher judged It
well to bilng his discourse abruptly to
a close.
When the court leaves Madrid, the
Queen Regent and her children gener
ally go to the pleasant watering-place
of San Sebastian. Here swimming Is
their favorite pastime, and the warm
waters of the south allow them to spend
a much longer time at the exercise
than would be advisable In our colder
climes. The Queen herself is an expert
swimmer, and to be "as clever In the
water as the mother" is a wish the
little monarch has often expressed,
FORCED TO STUDY.
The juvenile king must spend many
hours at his books, even during -vacation
time. Fortunately for himself, ho
Is not a dull child, and he is specially
quick at languages. Spanish, of
course, Is his native tongue. German
he has spoken much with his Austrian
mother' and with French, Italian and
English he is fairly proficient. The
last named he is studying under an
English governess, of whom he is very
fond, so his progress is tapid, whllo he
often amuses himself by making an
Irish secretary in the household of the
quten teach him various slang terms,
which he brings out when English vis
itors are present, often as much to
their astonishment us their amuse
ment. Nevertheless, tho little king has great
dignity of his own. He is often ns
haughty in his bearing as any of his
arrogant ancestors, whether of Iberian
or of Austrian birth, and it is certain
that no ono would ever be so ill ad
vised as to take a liberty with him.
Since he completed his tenth year,
his maj3sty has had a complete fs
tabllshment of his own: but while at
the sea during the summer the stem
rules of the court are relaxed to a
certain extent, and he Is allowed a
little of the freedom which alone makes
happiness In a joung life a. possibility,
and It is at this time especially that
he ilnds the rather strict rule of his
mother a very loving one.

THE MARKETS.
Hnll Street Upviou
New York, Sept. 11 .The general tone
of tho market for stock was strong to
day and there was no heavy prcsure
of realizing sales. But thero was moro
weakness at the different points" scat
tered through the list. The Northcrn
Pnclflc Isues were heavy on the con
tinued bad showing of earnings and
some of the roads In tho southern group
were unfavorably affected by fear that
the yelovv fever quarantine would In
tel ef ere with their tralllc. Tho effect
was noticeable In Louisville, Southern
preferred nnd Mobile and Ohio. Mis
souri Pacific was under more or less
pressure of profit-taking. The coalers
were also weak, the Reading issues
being under piessure to a marked de
gree. Tho bulk of today's trading was
entered In the Kranger and K. nnd
T., and these were stiong with th ex
ception of Chicago Great Western and
Northwest, which closed at a fraction
al decline.
. The aggregate sales of stocks to
day were 238,703 shares.
