ALMSHOUSE SE NSATION.
Clinrces Made Against Foar Directors
Dietrich nml Ahrelisfleld,
Special to Evmstsa llEiiAtn.
rorraviLLB, Mar. 6. The roport of the
Grand Jury, sittlne at this term of oourt,
caused a sensation when presented
to oourt this morning. Quito a stir
was oocMioned in political circles yes
tardfty when several county officials were
summoned beforo the Grand Jury. These
witnesses includo Steward Ileese, ex-Steward
Ilartman and Stewnrd-olect Seed and a whole
lot of other oQlcials nnd ex-officials of the
county homo. Ex-Poor Director Day and
the present Poor Directors were also sum
moned. August Waehter, Burgess Walker,
0. F. Seltcer, tholMrneas manufacturer, U. A.
Doerilitiger and L. W. Welsslniter; were
among the number who were notified to
come. The witnesses called were loath to
say anything as to why they were examined.
Ono of the officials at the almshouse, how
OTer, was questioned by the Grand Jury as
to whether he had paid any money for his
appointment, and this caused the report to
become current that charges of bribery had
been made against the almshouse officials.
No one seems to know who brought the
charges, although it Is intimated that a Potts
villo lawyer is the party who brought tho
matter to the attention of the Grand Jury.
The report was handed to Judge Uechtel
and In it the Grand Jury aaked the court to
instruct tho District Attorney to bring prose
cutions against Directors of the Poor Norl
Dietrich and P. II. Alirensfleld. Judge
Bechtel thanked tho jury for Its work and
promised that ho would givo the matter im
mediate attention.
It is charged that tho Directors named
purchased goods at tho county's expense and
appropriated them to their own use; that
they took monoy In sums ranging from J125
and upwards from peoplo who received ap
pointments from thom at tho almshouse; that
Dietrich has solicited money siuco tho ap
pointments wero made; that hohad hisprivato
oarriago repaired attbe county's expense and
also purchased a bull calf for the county at a
cost of $30 and sold it to his son fur $13. It
appears from the Indications wiilon nave
thus far appeared upon the surface that there
is more gunning after Dietrich than Ahreus
fleld. Director of tho Poor Mlddleton's
namo is not mentioned in connection with
tho matter.

Too Fine To Scratch

THE GflBlIiET
But There Was Some Objection
Secretary Bliss.
to
BECAUSE HE IS HOT A LAWYER.
There Were Borne MnWcnngs, Too, Against
Secretary daio, Because of Ills Views
on Silver1, 'But There Was no
Formal Protest In the Ben
ate" Meeting.
Washington, March 6. The presi
dent's cabinet appointments were all
confirmed by tbe senate yesterday and
without opposition. There was for a
tlmo a threat ot opposition to Mr. Gage
as secretary ot the treasury, because of
Ills views on the silver question and
because he Is g banker, but there was
more of t&ts nmoiiK senators in the
cloak rooms tllaa In the senate.
The senate Went Into executive ses
sion promptly ypon the receipt of the
nominations, and as soon as the an
nouncement wm made of the appoint
ment of Senatdfe Sherman, whose name
headed the llsft he was confirmed. It
Is the practice refer all nomlnatlqna
to oommlttee, but it was the desire of
Mr. Sherman', friends to signalise
their regard for him by immediate ac
tion. No opposition was made and the
nomination went through without
comment.
There was more form than reality
in the reference of the other nomina
tions to committee. Not one of the
committees had, a formal meeting,
they being polled on the floor of ttie
senate In every Instance. No objection
was made In the committee to con
firmation. Tfte senate was in recess
while the polllntf was in progress, and
only a little more than half an hour's
tlmo was spent In discussing the nomi
nations.
Most of this time was devoted to the
appointment as secretary of the in
terior, which called for attention from
Senators Teller and Stewart, who stat
ed that while tlieV had no Intention to
make any effort to balk the president
In his selection Ot his cabinet minis
ters, they still felt constrained to point
out the inadvisablllty of selecting a
man who was not a lawyer for a po
sition which requires the exercise of so
much legal ability as does the place at
the head of the Ulterior department.
Mr. Teller said that Mr. Bliss waB an
estimable man, and one who would
have filled other positions with credit,
but because he was not a lawyer he did
not consider him qualified In all re
spects for the place at the head of the
Interior department. This, he said, was
position whloh was or vast Import
ance, as cases were decided Involving
greater property Tights In the course
of a year, by the secretary of the in
terior, than were decided by the United
States supreme court. They Involved
for the most part legal questions, and
Mr. Bliss was not a lawyer, but a
banker and a business man. Natural
ly he knew nothing of the many legal
questions which were to come before
him as secretary of the Interior.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, pre
sented a high tribute to Mr. Bliss. He
pointed out that many of the questions
decided by the secretary were prepared
uy law clerks, and argued that, no
matter how good a lawyer a man might
be, he could not Investigate all the
matters that came before him as the
head of a department of this govern
ment. For that reason a law force
had been provided to assist the secre
tary In his work. He said that the
business ability of Mr, Bliss was un
questioned.
Senators Lodge and Chandler follow
ed In much the same strain, calling at
tention to the fact that Zachary
Taylor had made an acceptable sec
retary of this department, notwith
standing he was not a member of the
bar. Mr. Lodge suggestod that pos
sibly there was some feeling that this
office should go to the west.
Senators Teller and Stewart both de
clared they entertained no feeling on
this score. The location of the man's
residence would not count with them
provided he was familiar with the
questions which would require his at
tention. They Instanced Senators Piatt,
of Connecticut, and Chandler, of New
Hampshire, as eastern men who could
llll the place acceptably to the west.
Senator Stewart added that with a
man like Mr. Bliss at the head of the
Interior department he would not feel
easy until he heard the most compa
tent man had been chosen for the of
fices of assistant secretary and of at'
torney general for the Interior de
partment.
The reference to Air. aage were
mainly on account of what was termed
his gold standard views, and It was In
timated that as secretary of the treas
ury he would support the gold stand-
aid, knowing the promise of the ad
ministration to promote bimetallism.
One objection would have been suf
ficient to send any of the nominations
over a day, but the senators who had
made their Dolnts against Mr. Bliss
said they had no desire in any way
to hamper the president in the selec
tion ot his confidential advisers. Hence
they would content themselves with
pointing out this defeot In one of the
selections. When the list had been con
firmed In the order of appointment the
senate adjourned until Monday.
Secretary Qage took the oath of of
fice at 11 o'clock today In the secre
tary's office. Chief Justice Fuller ad
ministered It In the presence of the of
ficials of the department and a num
ber of Mr. Gage's personal friends who
are now In the city. It is expected that
several of the other cabinet olfloials
will be sworn in today, though Pre
mier Sherman has decided not to take
central of his department until Mon
day. Meantime Secretary Olney re
mains at the head of the department.
Severe! of the new cabinet officials
spent part of yesterday with their pre
decessors, going over the work of the
departments. Mr. Bliss spent several
hours at the Interior department with
Seoretary Francis, and Postmaster
General Wilson explained matters to
Mr. Gary, calling the latter's attention
especially to the postmasterahip
changes, and to cases like that at
Caldwell, Kan., where a postofflc-e In
spector Is now In charge, owing to fail
ure to confirm a nomination.
Mr. James Wilson, the new secre
tary of agriculture, has met Mr. Mor
ton, whom he succeeds, before now,
but the two ttuitea over unfair again
yesterday. Thoy went over the duties
of the head of the department routine
work for an hour or more, and a num
ber of assistants were introduced to
the new head.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Commercial Rxohnnges' Predictions
Ilegardlng the Future.
New York, March R. Q. Dun St
Co.'s weekly review savsi The slow
and gradual improvement of business
for seme time has continued for the
past week and without material
check. There Is a better demand for
most products on the whole, with con
tinuance of speculative buying in
some, notably In wool, because of ex
pected duties.
Reports of prebable needs abroad
have helped speculation In wheat some
what, but it has risen about three
.cents, though the price Is still lower
than two weeks ago. Corn is a cent
stronger, about the prloe of two weeks
ago..
While many of the mills have stop
ped production of cotton goods for a
time, the general outlook Is on tht
whole unchanged, while print clotht
are a shade lower. The mills accumu
lated stocks far In excess of the ac
tual demand during most of dullness,
and their enforced restriction at this
time Is merely paying a debt. The de
mand for wool has diminished, though
only a little, and sales are quite a
third more than the full consumption
of all mills, If all were at woftc.
Failures show but slight Increase over
those of 1896 or 1806. and but slight de
nlght, and the promise of a new tariff
the week have been 24G In the United
States, against 385 for the correspond
ing week last year, and 50 In Canada,
against 68 last year.
Bradstreets' review says: The new
administration, the certainty ot an ex
tra session of congress within a fort
night, and the promise of a new tariff
at an early day have done much to
stimulate a better feeling In trade cir
cles and Increase confidence in the
near approach of an improvement In
business.

The movement for the relief of the poor of
the borough took quite a boom yesterday and
If it can be maintained there will be no need
of any deserving family doing without the
necessaries of life. The teachers of the pub
lic schools and their pupils did noble work
yestenlay. The paokages carried to tho
school rooms yestenlay formed a grand source
of relief aud embraced the very articles that
the relief committee needed to meet the
demands upon it. Potatoes, bread, coffee,
tea, sugar, canned goods, salt, craokers, etc.,
were supplied in abundance and the com
mittee fully ablo to meet all claims, with tho
exception of applications for clothing and
footwear, aud such relief has been suspended
until next Monday. Several wagon loads of
articles were hauled from the public schools
yesterday afternoon and several more to-day.
It was impossible to secure a sufficient num
ber of volunteer teams to do all the hauling
yesterday.
The general relief committee held a meet
ing in the Council chamber last night and
perfected plans by which the cash fund will
be considerably increased. Among the gentle
men who attended the meeting were John L.
Hassler, T. J. Broughall, Chief Burgess
Tabor, Christian Schmidt, Fred. Kelthan,
John J. Bobbin, Moses Owens, Michael
Graham, Henry Rynkawicz, Rev. T. M.
Morrison, Richard Horrell, Charles Haskins,
P. D. Holman, P. J. Ferguson, P. J. Qaughan
and Patrick Hand.
When reports of committees were called for
Mr. Haskins stated that he had issued fifteen
orders for relief of families In tho First ward.
Chief -IlUrgoas 'JLtabor stated that 89.30 lm
beeu collected in the lower section of tho
Second ward. Messrs. T. F. Miles and
Thomas Lee hnvo been appointed to solicit
contributions in the uppor section of tho
ward. Messrs. Kelthan and Bobbin reported
collection of f-12.70 in tho upper section of
tho Third ward. Coutributions of clothing
and other articles wero also received.
M. J . O'Neill has been added to the committee
to make collections in tho lows; part ; of the -
M. J. O'Neill has been added to the oommlttee

the amount of about $30. Mtx'rs. Schmidt
and Hassler reported that tbefc collected
$40.70 aud a number of donfctior- in the
form of provisions.
Mr. P. J. Ferguson arose and stated that he
had made no cash contribution to the fund.
but wished to do so and, upon being in
formed that the committee was prepared to re
receive favors of that kiml at any time.stepped
forward and handed Secretary Broughall
$60 in cash. The committee gave Mr. Fer
guson a receipt in the form of a round of ap
plause. Mr. Ferguson also stated that lie
would give the free use of his theatre fer a
tories of three entertainmeuts for the benefit
of the relief fund and suggested that a com
mittee be appointed to arrange the details for
them. The following committee was
appointed for tho purpose : Messrs. P. D.
Holman, Michael uraftam, unlet liurgess
Tabor, Moses Owens, and F. L. Stompeon. It
is proposed to ask the Gymnasium Club to give
the flrot entertaiument. The second will
probably bo given by choirs, mandolin olubs,
glee olubs and vocal soloists of town, and it
Is proposed to have juvenile talent give the
third. It is also intended to ask tbe Grant
Rand to play at one entertainment, tho
Lithuanian Baud at the other, aud then ask
both hands to play jointly at tho third enter
tainment. This would be a novelty in which
great interest would be manifested. It is
also proposed to accept the offer of tho Cleary
orchestra and it will probably be asked to
furnish the overtures for the entertainments.
Rev. Morrison made a few remarks on
mission work and gave an Interesting and
amusiug recital ou tbe schemes contrived by
impostersto work upon the sympathies of
the relief committee. He lias a list of SO
impostors. Rev. Morrison says that it
was necessary to allow these people
to nibble at the generosity of the
committee. It is the best way in
which to locate the people who are really de
serving. No Impostor gets in his or her
work on the committee twice. They try it,
but meet with the cold shoulder. Then they
resort to abuse and threats, but gain nothing
by it. Rev. Morrison has discovered that
when the investigating ooimnfttees call at
houses signals of their presence is given to
neighbors by rappiugs on walls and before
the committees get away the bouses they
visit are filled by people who here tales of
woe to tell. Investigation has shown that
tho tales are false.
The general committee adjourued to meet
next Wednesday evening, at 8 o'clock
T. J. Broughall, tho secretary of the general
relief committee, and Christ. Williams this
morning audited the accounts of Messrs.
Patrick Conry, T, 11. Edwards and T. J
Davies, the committee in charge of the relief
station. Hereafter this committee will take
no more cash contributions. All money will
be received and paid out by Christ. Sohnildi,
the treasurer of the general eonunittee.
The audit shows that thus far 500
people have been assisted. The money re
ceived by T. R. Edwards aggregated $178.59
and the committee expeuded (190.83. so
that there is a balance of 17.iM worth of
orders unpaid. Mr. Edwards has made him
self personally responsible for the amount.
The greater part of this money was expended
at the time when the donations of provisions,
etc., were scarce.

The Coal Trade.
The anthracite trade is on the basis of a 2,
600,000 ton output forthis month, and there is
very little that i new or worthy of comment
in connection therewith. The market is not
active, for it is not the season of the year
when such a turu Is likely to be given to
affairs; whether the actual prices now being
realised are to be taken as the opening list
for the year remains to be seen. The price of
anthracite for the domestic sizes should aver
age $1.00 per ton at tho tide-water loading
ports, which is a fair price for the commodity
and the policy of the producers seems to bo
