REPLY TO AH ATTACK.
Demiimi fur tlio 'amr of tho Authors by
"Cltlzrn."
El). Hkrami ! In Wednesday's issue of
your valuable paper ono of our wonld-ho and
self-cstceincd merchants, dolus business
under tho name of "The Famous" comments
on tho business methods of our town mer
chants. Thu wholo article wo do not deem
worthy of our notice, it being prompted only
by feelings of jealousy, and wero it not for a
single expression in it we would pass tho
artlclo by, merely giving it tlio contemptuous
glanco that tho noble mastlfl gives to tho
little snarling cur who makes a great fuss,
but Isn't capable or big enough to do any
harm. The article referred to reads as ful
lows: "Hear in mind the name Famous.'
What aro wo to Infer from this? Usually
legitimate merchants aro not afraid to use
their name, providing thoy do an honest bust'
ness, ana tno name Famous" or any
other similar word will not be
ccptod by tho business world and taken as
a basis for credit. Our dally papers chron
iclu In most every issuo failures of schemes
to defraud creditors and tho like, and in al
mostovory instanco thoso who no liniill
cited in these schemes aro doing business
under fictitious names. Now if our ostecmed
friends who seem to havo the interest of tlio
-people so well at heart wish to insure .public
confidence, let them come out and announce
who they aro and do away with fictitious
names, which aro not mod by reputable
people in this progressive ago. Until this is
dono no further attention will he paid to tho
scurrilous attacks.

tion of Capt. Win, K. Joues iu tho Mahanoy
City arson caso Jestcrday afternoon
Michael Flemmiug, ono of the defendants,
was called and sworn. He stated be
boards iu Delano, and is S3 years of age and
lelt Delano on Sunday cvoning at 7:25 p. m.
and met the other defendants, D.irrah, Itlch.
ardson and Knowlcs, who bo met about 11 p.
in. tho same evening on the banks of the P.
& It. It. Ho had u conversation with tho
throo defendants; lllcharilson and Darrah
went up io tho hosiery mill, while Knowlcs
and tho witness walked down to Main street,
near tho Mansion House ; Knowles and tho
witness went up to the hosiery mill and met
the others and Kichardson and tho witness.
1'leminlng, set the mill on 11 ro, using cotteu
wastu; tho witness met Darrah and Kichard
son thoro when they arrived there and Itich
ardson and Darrah went up to tho mill to set
it on n re, at least that was tho understanding;
I lemming set uio to the eastern end of tho
mill aud Uichardson the centre. Tho gang
then left tho building and weut over to
Pleasant Hill. The witness then camo back
another direction to the fire, whero he mot
the other defendants ; Flemmiug stopped at
a friend's house tlie night of the fire. The
witness aud Kichardson procured liquor at
tho saloon of Win. Ilariey, at Mahanoy City
and admitted they wore drunk. Wooden re
fused to go to tho mill to set it on fire and
didn't go along. His cross examination did
not differ materially from that given to tho
Commonwealth.
Tho evidence of Willard Wooden, William
Wilds and Thomas Bryant corroborated that
given by Flemmiug, and other parties testi
fled to having seen tho defendants in the
vicinity of the fire on the night in question
Capt. Win, K. Jones was recalled to tho
stand this morning and produced a map of
Mahanoy City prepared for use at the trial
Mr. Jones pointed out for tho benefit of the
jury tho various locations referred to in the
evidence
Michael Flemming was then recalled.
Q. You testified yesterday that you acted
on tho advice of your lawyor who was your
lawyor? f
Mr. Whitehouso objected on the ground
that the question was asked to catch the
sympathy of a couple of tho jurymen.
Mr. Bochtel: "Well, that is complimentary
to tho jury."
The court allowed the question and Flcnv
ming answered "Yes, sir; Jamos W. Ityan
was my lawyer."
Georgo Eichman was next sworn. Ho sal
ho met ltichaidson and Darrah in a saloon at
about a quarter after eight o'clock on th
evening of the fire. John Uuber and Will
lam Wilds were also there. Wilds, Darrah
and liichardson went out ft ret. Darral
wantod to fight Uichtnan there.
John Holier corroborated Kicbman's ovi
deneo. Both are young men. Thomas Leary
was auothor witness, but nothing important
developod.
Mrs, Ann Hanlon swore that Darrah and
Kichardson wero In her placo at 4th aud Pine
streets lifter tho Eichman flro and stayed
tliero about ten minutes.
Wm. Bcvan swore be saw tho defendants at
the Eichman fire. He siw them at 4th and
Pine streets. Willard Wooden aud Frank
Lewis were with them. They wero talking,
but witness could not understand what was
said.
Mr. Whiteliouse : Did you seo Mr. Itamsay
that night?
Mr. Marr: Did you see Mr. Wbitebouse
there? He is a more dangerous man
(Laughter).
William Hardy sworo ho lived 50 feet away
from the Eichman property and that be
knew Darrah. Ho saw Darrah at 10:15
o'clock on the night of the fire in his (wit
nest') yard and spoke to him.
Q, Is thoro au alley running botnecn th
Eichman property and your lot?
Mr. Whitehouse objected, but the court
allowed the question aud witness answered,
There is a private way from my yard to
Eicbman's."
To other questions the witness answered
that ho caught Darrah in bis yard and had a
talk with him thoro.
District Attorney Becbtel explained that
the evidenco was to show that Darrah was
iu the vicinity before tho fire.
'We rest," said Mr. Marr after Georgo
Gclger aud C. F. Kletudoatz failed to respond.
A LEGAL TILT,
Mr. Whitehouse addressed the court and
said that iu yiow of the fact that all the
testimony Implicating tbo defendants came
from the lips of au accessory and accomplice,
aud was not corroborated, be would ask the
court to tako the case from the jury.
Judgo Koch: We cannot tako this case
from the Jury. You mean to ask the court
to order an acquittal ?
Mr. Whitehouso : Yes, sir.
Mr. Bechtel ; The court cannot take tho
case from tho jury on the evidence.
Mr. Whitehouse made an eloquent address.
Ho took tho stand that the testimony showed
that the defendants were near tho burning
buildings that night, but that thoro was no
corroborativo evidenco. Ho said that the
Commonwealth might pruvo that Attorney
Itamsay passed near those buildings that
night and that fact would not be valid proof
that ho burned any of the buildings.
District Attorney Bechtol contended that
it was shown that two of tbe defendants had
talked about the nlro blaze tho hosiery mill
would make and then both sides entered Into
a recital of authorities to sustain their re-
suectiio views on corroborative oridonco.
Finally Judgo Koch announced that he
denied tbe motion to direct an acquittal.
MB. WIIITKIIOUSKOPKNS,
After a brief breathing spell Mr. White
bouse begau hisaddross to tho jury. This was
at i0":32 o'clock. Ho said the fact that other
fires took placo In that town that night indi
cated that excltomont ran high and when any
ono was arrested in the matter It was sufficient
to ceuter and solidify all tbe ill-will and bad
feeling upou the unfuitunate person. It is

Washington, Match 18. The event of
yesterday In ofllcial circles was the is
sue of an order for the formation of a
new squadron of naval ivessels to In
stationed at Hampton Itoads. The
squadron In the beginning will consist
of five ships, nil the best of their types.
Two of thoni, the battleships Massa
chusetts and Texas, are withdrawn
from the present north Atlantic fleet
at Key West and Tortugas. It wnukl
be a grave mistake to suppose that, in
ordering this movement, the navy de
partment is animated by any purpose
of yielding to the representations or in
timations that may have come from
the Spanish minister as to the mischief
caused by the gathering of so large a
naval force as Admiral Sleard's fleet
in the vicinity of Cuba. On the con
trary, tho formation of the new squad
ron was brought about by purely
strategic considerations, although it
appears from the nature of the force
so far under orders to rendezvous at
Hampton Itoads that this strategy in
of the defensive nature.
The new squadron cannot be called
'flying squadron," because the as
sociation of heavy battleships with
fleet crulsetB like the Brooklyn, Co
lumbia and Minneapolis reduces the
available speed of the whole to the
speed of the slowest vessel, and the
squadron could not do much "Hying,"
the naval sense. The Indications
rather are that when reinforced by
smaller cruisers the squadron will con
stitute an Ideal naval defense.
Although the other ships to be added
to the squadron have not yet been defi
nitely selected, it is surmised that
they will Include some of the other
battleships at Key West and the ar
mored cruiser New York, In which case
Admiral Sicard, it is believed, will com
mand the new force. In place of the
cruiser New York the people of Key
West will look upon the gilm outlines
of the big monitor Puritan, supposedly
the most powerful ship In smooth
water In the world. She will have to
assist her on guard the double turret
ted monitor Miantonomah and the
monitor Amphitrite. The Puritan Is
now nt Norfolk, almost ready for sea,
the Miantonomah is at League Island,
quite ready, and so is the Amphitrite
at Port Hoyal, S. C. So the order will
in the end result In the gathering of
the pick of the north Atlantic squad
ron at Hampton Ruads.
It Is announced that the commander
of the new squadron has not yet been
selected, and pending that selection or
the arrival In rort of Admiral Sicard
It Is expected that Captain Higglnson,
the commander of the battleship
Massachusetts, and the senior officer,
will hold the command of the squad
ron. Remaining at Key West after the
departure of tho Massachusetts and
the Texas, Admiral Sicard will still
have a fleet of his own in numbers,
when the spectacle will be presented
of a fleet and a squadron on one sta
tion, something not seen since the civil
war.
The semi-ofllcial statement given out
at Madrid advancing the government
view that a demand for Indemnity
based on Spanish responsibility for the
Maine explosion would be Indignantly
repelled by Spain attracted much in
terest In ofllcial circles. There has been
little doubt for some time that Spain
was preparing for the contingency of
an adverse report by the American
court of Inquiry, and to thnt end was
preparing to anticipate and offset it
by making clear the government pd
icy of standing by the report of the
Spanish commission. The report of the
latter body will find that the Maine dis
aster was due to accident resulting in
Internal explosion. This was foreshad
owed In the advance utterances of Cap
tain Peral, head of the Spanish com
mission, who stated publicly several
days ago that the theory of external
explosion was untenable.
Along with tho semi-official state
ment from Madrid that a demand for
Indemnity will be indignantly repelled
Is the further statement from reliable
sources that Spain has made It clear to
tho authorities here that Intervention
may lead to war. The prospects of
such intervention uppear to bo seri
ously entertained by Spain, and strong
efforts have been made to avert It by
showing that the condition of the re
concontrados did not warrant the step,
and also that It would threaten to end
all prospects of further pacific nego
tiations. Nearly every town In the country
large enough In Its own estimation to
justify such a claim has appealed to
Seorotary Long to christen one of the
newly acquired Hraalllan cruisers In its
honor. Senator Piatt called upon Sec
retary Long a little before noon to urge
that the boat be called Albany, adding
In support ot tho application that Al
bany was tho natal place of Captuln
Blgsbee.
