VENO'S ALLEGED CURES. DENOUNCED AS A FRAUD AND IM POSTER BY A VICTIM. A "Tribune*' Reporter Interviews George LVT rouse, of Drifton, Who Was Said to be Cured of Rheumatism-He Says Veno Should be Put In Jail. It is just six weeks since Veno, the wonder-worker, left hero, and if he was to come again and escape being mobbed by some of the people whom lie duped, it would be the greatest wonder connoted with his rheumatism annihilating concern. By the great display of posters and advertising lie convinced several persons in the sur rounding towns, who were afflicted with rheumatism, that outside of bis treat ment there was but little hope for them. Among this number was George Pe trouse, an Austrian by birth and a resi dent of Drifton for eighteen years. He had been employed as a miner until about a year a.o, when he was com pelled to quit work on account of a severe attack of rheumatism. The first evening Veno appeared at the Cottage hotel hall, Mr. Petrouse called on him and stated his case. Veno told him a cure was certain if ire would undergo tieatment, to which Mr. Pe trouse consented, and Veno began oper ations on his patient at once. That evening, and for several evenings after, Mr. Petrouse was exhibited to the audience to show the ability of the won der-worker in curing this dreaded dis ease, and persons doubting his state ments were promptly referred to Mr. Petrouse, of Drifton. Veno bad scarcely left Freeland when his patient bad relapsed aud bus suf fered great pain since. Yesterday a representative of the TRIBUNE called at the residence of Mr. Petrouse, and found the gentleman still in great agony and very willing to tell his experience with Veno. "Are you still suffering from rheuma tism, Mr. Petrouse?" tlie reporter asked. "Oh yes," said Mr. Petrouse, "I am very bad. I never had such pain as I have now, but I think Dr. Wentz will soon bring me around again." "But Veno said be cured you, Mr. Petrouse?" "Veno," said Mr. Petrouse, "he is the biggest fraud alive and should have been put in jail. Benefit me, no, I am worse now than ever. Wait, I'll tell you it all. When I went to see Veno I had pains in my shoulders and arras, and lie ordered me to strip to the waist. He took off bis coat and rolled up his shirt sleeves, then he put liniment on my back and began to rub. "The pain was terrible and 1 told him I couldn't stand it, but be said if I wanted to be cured that was the only way, and he rubbed me like that for one hour. Then I was brought out on the stage to show the people I was cuured. "When I was going home he told me | before I went to bed to wet a flannel with the liniment and put it on my chest. I I did and next morning the ilesh was burned off. See my arms where he rub bed me. The skin was all off and my back was all raw for three weeks after." "What kind of liniment was it, Mr. Petrouse?" Ilis wife took a bottle of it from a shelf and sat it on the table, and Mr. Petrouse said: "The doctor says it's nearly all turpentine; that it's not lini ment. But no matter, it's no good; a person might as well throw his money out in the garden as to spend it for that stuff." 44 What did Veno charge you, for the medicine and for curing you?" "He gave me treatment and the lini ment for nothing— ten bottles of lini ment and one of medicine. When he treated me the first night he used two bottles of liniment on my back and arms, and that's the reason I could lift my arms. The stuff he said was lini ment was burning my back and shoul ders so where he had rubbed the skin off that I was sweating." "You can see for yourself," he con tinued, as he rolled up his shirt sleeves and showed his arms which were cover ed with blotches where the skin had been rubbed off. "He said I could get plenty more liniment in the drug stores in Freeland when what I had was used. I don't want any more, and anyone who buys any is foolish. They are just throwing | money away. Yes, Veno is a fraud and a robber, and anybody who trusts him to he cured will find it out." "How about that affidavit you gave j him, saying you were cured?" asked the scribe. "Well, he could talk so nice he made me believe I was going to get better; but I didn't write that. He brought it to me the way you saw it, and I signed it. But I want the people to know that what is in that paper is not true, because 1 am worse now than ever, and 1 believe he would kill me instead of curing me." As the reporter was leaving the house Mr. Petrouse gave him one of the paste board boxes on which the directions are printed, how to use the liniment, so that no mistake could be made in dis tinguishing it from other liniments. Owing to the unfortunate man's long continued idleness the family is not in the best of circumstances, and in order to help himself along Mr. Petrouse will raffle a double drilling machine and a complete set of mining tools at his resi dence on Saturday evening, February 4. The price of a ticket is only 25 cents, and this small mite will not be missed by those who were fortunate enough to not he deceived by Veno, the wonder worker. General I-ongntreet an Author.

W ASIIIXGTOX, Jan. 0. —The feature of the ' day's session of the senate was the three hours' speech delivered by Mr. Vilas, of Wisconsin, against the antioption bill, in which he outlined the constitutional objec tions which in his opinion precluded the possibility of its passage by the senate, lie ] denounced it as a flagrant advance to cen tralization and as involving the character istics of the most odious paternalism. ' WASHINGTON, Jan. o.—The house passed ! the fortifications appropriation billwithout ; amendment or debate. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. —The session of the ' senate was given up exclusively to the dis- I Mission of the bill on the subject of quar ! untine regulations audits correlativemeas- j lire, the bill to suspend immigration for I ono year. Mr. Chandler, of New Hump- | shire, spoke for about three hours, devot- j ing most of his argument to the last men- 1 tioned bill, although the other was really j the one that was up for discussion. To this latter, however, an amendment was pending to authorize the president to issue a proclamation suspending immigration from countries where cholera may be pre | vailing. I WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.—The District of !

Half of the time was spent on Mr. 1 J McPherson's (of New Jersey) joint resolu i tion authorizing and directing the secre- j 1 tary of the treasury to suspend all pur- I chases of silver under the Sherman act, ! and the other liulf on the bill granting ad- 1 I dilional quarantine powers and imposing j additional duties on the Marine hospital service. Mr. McPherson addressed the ! senate at length in favor of his joint reso lut ion, and when he resumed his seat Mr. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, gave notice of a • substitute which he. proposed to offer to it, , I and he asked unanimous consent, in order ! 1 to test the sincerity of the Democratic side ! of the chamber, which he accused of "mas I querading," fo have a vote taken on the substitute and the original measure to- ! morrow. Objection came from Mr Daniel, of Vir ginia, and the matter went over indefinite j ly and without any agreement Mr. | Aldrieh's .substitute proposed to authorize j the issue of bonds to procure gold, if neces- I sary to maintain the parity between gold ; and silver coins and United States treas , ttrynot.es, and also provided for thesus- I pension of the purchase of silver bullion | j on Jan. 1. 18U4, if before that time there he I not ail international agreement reached by I which gold and silver shall be given equal , mintage rights at an agreed ratio. The j prospect of the passage of any bill to re peal the Sherman act may be judged ot I from an emphatic declaration by Mr J Teller, of Colorado. ; CORBETT TALKS TO REPORTERS AH u Conversational Ut the Champion 1* n Muriel.

De fore beginning his religious discourse he lie fined his own position with regard to the j United Labor party and the Antipoverty I society. j "On last Sunday evening," he said, "to : meet a reasonable expectation I read a statement of the doctrines of the United i Labor party platform and of the Antipov i erty society, my teaching of which doc trines had led to the series of events so hap pily terminated by the removal from me of ecclesiastical censures. It is well that I .should now add that the doctrinal state ment was full and nii't'.served and that it nowise minimizes, explains away or de parts from the doctrine as I have been . teaching it for years. "The making of that doctrinal statement under the circumstances might well be sufficient proof of the fact, which I now positively affirm, that no retraction or con demnation of those doctrines was a condi tion precedent to the removal of the ec- J tlesiastical censures. A Personal Statement. "On Dec. 23 it was officially declared by authority of the delegate of the pope, in ; vested with special powers, sought and ob j tained for this express purpose, that 'Dr. ; McGlynn was declared free from ecclesias tical censures and restored to the exercise of his priestly functions after having satis | lied the pope's legate on all the points in i his case.' ! "On Dec. 24 Bishop Keane said to an agent of the press. 'Dr. McGlynn will le allowed to judge for himself whether he will begin negotiations with Archbishop Corrigan for a parish or apply to the holy ; t-ee at Rome. He is a valuable member of the clergy, and will probably bo given a j position where his services will be most useful ' Content with Tilings ;. They Are.

THE POPE'S SUCCESSOR. Jealousies Among the American Clergy DUpleasiug to Leo. ROME, Jan. 10.—A sensation was caused here by the letter of Pope Leo to the peo ple of Bologna, in which the pontiff states that in nominating Cardinal Serafino Van nutelli to be archbishop of Bologna he had obeyed the divine inspiration. This un usual declaration on the part of the pope is regarded as tantamount to designating Cardinal Vannutelli as his successor in the pontificate. The pope is also reported to have remarked, "Vannutelli goes to Bo logna a cardinal and will return a pope." The announcement is made, without of ficial authority, that the jealousies and in felicities that are disturbing the Catholic church in America have decided the holy father to postpone the making of another American cardinal. The names of the archbishops of New York and St. Paul had been most prominently mentioned among the American uspirauts for the red hat. MANY INDICTMENTS MADE.
