XXL LEBANON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 30, 1892. NO. Working on the Message Notwithstanding Death of Dr. Scon. FDIERIL SERVICES FEXT FRIDAY.

The President Will Likely Have His Mes- uge Beady by Important Topici Only to be Touched Upon of the Cabinet Held Today to Discos! of Importance Ham ion Will be Absent from to Attend the Foneral. (By Associated Presi to the WASHINGTON, Nov. Scott, the President's father-in-law, died at 4:10 o'cloek yesterday afternoon. The aged invalid passed away without a struggle as quietly and as peacefully as a child falls asleep. He had been unconscious for hours and was unable to recognize tbe weeping friends at his bedside.

WASHINGTON, Nov. President has virtually decided that tbe exigencies of public business require that be shall temporarily disregard his personal afflictions and he therefore devoted himself today to the eonsideration of his message to Congress with a of having it ready for transmission to that body Tuesday next. It is understood to have been the President's purpose to have elaborated several important topics, only briefly touched on in the original draft, but he has now abandoned that idea and will confine himself to the strict necessities of tbe case. The report that there might be a few days' delay in tbe submission oi tbe message was based on the President's original purpose of a total abstention from official duties until after his return from the funeral of Dr. Scott, Friday next.

In view of his modified plans it is now settled that there will be only one day's delay in the transmission of the President's message and the reports of the heads of the execntive departments, which usually accompany it. The necessities of tbe case seemed to require a meeting of the cabinet today, so word was sent to all of the beads of executive departments now in Washington, and they gathered at the department of state in Secretary John Foster's private office about noon, where they were joined by the President. It was explained to the cabinet that because of the funeral services tomorrow and tbe President's absence during the following day at least, it was necessary to bold the meeting today, as it was tbe last opportunity to consider the message before congress assembles. The President's prospective absence from the city also made it expedient to discuss certain other matters of public business, such as the Bering Sea case and the financial outlook before tbe meeting ol congress.

ANNUAL KEPOET OF PENSION COMMISSIONER BAKU MADE PUBLIC TODAY. A BATTLE FOB A MILLION. A Lady Brings Suit for the Becovery of Property. Associated Press to tbe Los AKGELES, Nov. Adella Freeman, living in San Diego, bas filed a suit here in which she sets np a claim to 115,000 worth of property and makes sixty-two persons, more or less, prominent in the city, defendants.

She claims to be the legitimate child of Gaston Oxart, a Basqe Frenchman, who died in this city in 1888, leaving the property in question. After Oxart died one P. Gless appeared in court and offered for probate what purported to be the will of the deceased, whereby the entire estate was left to him. Mrs. Freeman was not then living with her father and though she attempted to secure a footing in court, failed to do so through Unit of her lawyer.

Since the estate has been distributed some of the property has passed into the hands of people who have paid value for them without any knowledge of this, and since none of them have held adverse possession for five years. If Miss Freeman wins suit they will have to give np their properties to her. The will did not mention Mrs. Freeman, and under the law in Calilornia a child not mentioned in a will inherits just as though there is no will, and since Mrs. Freeman is the only cbild.she will take every thing.

The estate embraces some of the most valuable business properties on Spring street, the principal retail traffic street of this city. TEAIN BOBBERS. A Train Held Up and the Express Messenger Forced to Open the Safe. Press to the Niws.) GREAT FALLS, Nov. special to the "Globe" says that the Great Northern west-bound through passenger train was held up by three robbers near Malta, a small station, yesterday morning between 8 and 4 o'clock.

A few minutes after leaving Malta two men climbed over the tender from the front platform of the. express car, covered the engineer and fireman with their revolvers, made them stop and asked the messenger to open his car, while the third man held the conductor and brakeman in tbe snow at the end of a gun, when they jumped off to see what was the matter. Tha messenger was forced to open the local safe from which it is claimed only $25 was secured. He did not know the combination of the big through safe. The robbers evidently did not have proper tools to break it open and decamped without molesting the passengers.

THE SliVEB QUESTION. Statement of New pensioners Added to the Boll and of Pensioner! Dropped Who Were Bartered. Associated Preas to the WASHINGTON, Nov. annual report of Green B. Raum, Commissioner of Pensions, made public today, shows that there were on the pension rolls June 80, 1892, 876,068 pensioners, an increase during the year of 18,908.

There were added to the rolls during the year 222,937 new pensioners, and 2,477 pensioners dropped at various times were restored to tbe pension lists. During tbe year. 35,800 persons were dropped from the rolls. The total amount expended for pensions during the fiscal year was $139,035,612. For the present fiscal year $144,956,003 is appropriated, and taking the cost of tbe pension allowances during the first four months of this fiscal year as a basis of calculation, the commissioner estimates that a deficiency appropriation of $10,508,621 will be necessary to supplement this year's appropriation.

An estimate of $165,000,000 is submitted for the next fiscal year, but Commissioner Kaum says that if ac many Allowances of pension shall be made during the fiscal year to come as during the fiscal year ended June 30th last, this amount will notbe large enough. The pension payments under the law np to September 80, 1892, amounted to $76,494,443. The commissioner heartily commends the disability law and says: "As far as my information goes, there is but one opinion among the great majority of old soldiers is that the law has been of immeasurable service and that the good it has done fully justified tho expectations of those who enacted it" The Bowmanites in PotUville Court.

Highly Interesting Session Held in the Church of the Holy Trinity. LAST HIGHTS ADDRESSES IN SALEM. Topics of Yesterday Afternoon- Self-Training of the Sunday School Preparation of the Lesion on Colnmbu, Xuhleaberg and of at Tnii Morning 1 Beirion.

The afternoon session opened with a devotional service conducted by Bev. F. J. F. Schautz.

Forty five minutes were on motion allowed to each subject. The topic, "Self- Training of the Sunday School Teacher," was introduced by Rev. H. N. Fegeley, of Cumberland county.

He showed the need of the discipline of self for the work of teaching. Force is developed through self activity. Personal thoroughness should be his aim, by steady thinking in the line of the truth. He should be constantly accumulating the material from which be is to teach. will study and thereby the truth will become more interesting and clear.

The teacher ought to himself on every lesson he is to impart. He should not use helps to find out what he can himself, hie should live up to the truth as be finds it, yet he should not refuse to learn from others. The true teaching power is character vitalized by the knowledge of tbe truth at your hand, rather than a mere intellectual knowledge. Such power will assuredly succeed. Kev.

Schantz emphasized tbe necessity of teachers thinking for themselves. "It will pay to do so." Rev. line of thinking ought to be kept strictly olose to the word of God. Hon. R.

Lantz alluded to the church of Luther as one that loves to teach pure doctrine, and the danger of relying too closely upon self. There needs be instruction by the pastor, good books and those wiser than ourselves. In passing to the next question, "The Teachers' Preparation of the Lesson," Rev. T. E.

Scbmauk gracefully declined to lead (being a local pastor) in favor of Rev. A. M. Weber, of Mt. Joy; the latter felt hardly ready to proceed "after sucn a good Lebanon dinner" as be had enjoyed and the brief time allowed for preparation.

To prepare a lesson we must weigh it. Look at it from all sides, then decide which is believed to tbe best. Let ns teach the lesson among ourselves. Pastors may not always able to do this, but should do so if possible. All should attend.

Prepare for odd questions and make the most of them if they relate to tbe lesson. Prepare the lesson alone and in the meeting and with' the pastor. Understand it, then believe it, then teach it Rev. Hassler said: "Perhaps there is WEDNESDAY MORSISO. The opening exercises consisted of a hymn and a prayer led by Rov.

H. The first topic considered was, "Who Should be Scholars The Rev. A. Weber thonght that all ages should Do represented, and every degree of education. Any denomination might be admitted, although the school be intended for Lutheran children.

Every class or condition should be received. There should be however no "proselyting. Bring them aad keep them. Revs. Hanpt, Schantz, Fegley and T.

E. Schmauk showed the important distinction between the broader work of the pulpit and the personal contact of the class. A hymn, and then Hon. C. R.

Lantz opened the topic of the "Benefit of Being Scholars." Even the teacher is a student. The Saviour is the model scholar and teacher. To be Christians implies study and a strong interest in being saved; character is formed, sociability is cultivated, morality is advocated, even old age reaps the benefit of youthful stndy. Let ns then cultivate a true sympathy for the Cause, the Master and the Church. The duty of Christian, teachers was impressively set forth; they should be examined and elected, and the school become a united, harmonious organization in connection with the church.

The Lord bless the faithful teacher's training np the young nurture of the Lord Revs. Schantz, Haupt and B. W. Gathered Here and There by Wide Awake, Energetit Reporters. SALE OF THE LEBAIOH VALLEY HOUSE Schmauk, Hassler, Mattern and T.

Ei Sobmank cited illustrations and offered; suggestions in regard to this subject. Rev. H. Giesz on the "Life of the Scholar" followed in an able address plete with doctrine and setting forth the standard of Christ as our great example, the need of nurture and attention and prayer. Too little attention is given to committing the cater chism, and the pride of are alj scholars yet.

i The topic was continued by Rev, Scbantc and C. R. Lantz, esq. After resolving to meet at 130 p. and adjourn at 420, the meeting jonrned with the Lord's prayer.

Mr. Al. Paine, of Central, tke Pxrohaur for Will Take Possession Next of the National Bros. Awarded a Contract Betting Heavier With the Hear Approach of the The Lebanon Valley Hoise, situated on the northeast corner of Eighth street and P. railroad, yesterday as sold by Mr.

E. M. Boltr to Mr. Al. Paine, of the Central Hotel, for $53,500.

The hotel was built in 1857 by the late Charles Kuhnle, who sold it to Mr. Ed. Krall and he in turn sold it to Mr. E. M.

Boltz, who for many years assisted Mr. Krall in conducting the hotel. It is one ol the largest and best equipped hotels in the city and has over 100 rooms, and has, by the admirable way it has been managed, gained a state reputation. Mr. Boltz will retire from the proprietorship of the hotel next April and rumor has it that he will succeed to the cashiership of the People's Bank, Mr.

E. M. Woomer retiring to enter upon his Congressional career on March 4th, 1893. Whether Dame Rumor il correct in her prognostications the future alone will tell, as neither of the above gentlemen have confirmed the rumor. It is stated that Mr.

the president, FOEOKD PAFEBS. A Number of Banks Fleeced Out of Their Honey. Associated Press to the KEWS.I MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. business and banking circles are torn up over a report that several of the local banks had been victimized by forgeries perpetrated by a son of a business man of high socialstanding. Rumor credited them with having lost sums estimated iat: from $30,000 to There does not seem to be any reason to believe that the will be they losers as one too much teaching of the lesson, and the class is ofUn only entertained instead of instructed." Find the meaning of words.

It is a real pleasure to be a member of a pastor's social Bible class for the study of the lesson. Rev. Schantz hoped the local pastors would talk. Every teacher ought to use helps and prepare personally, as well as in common meeting. Do not emphasize what we think as the gift of Holy Spirit, but let the lesson talk to us.

Rev. Fegeley thought that the teacher is capable of much development. Rev. Seip directed attention to the literature of our lesson helps and called on Rev T. E.

Schmanck, who spoke of his ideal of a teachers' meeting for study, supported by tbe presence and guidance of the pastor. We ought to support the church lesson leaves. Bnt these are capable of improvement. Rev. Fegeley responded in reference to the selection of tbe lessons and explained the mode of preparation of the work by the committee.

The convention rose to sing a hymn. Rev. Mattern, of Jonestown, now Open ed in a fine address on "The Teacher in the The teacher teaches even when he doesn't speak; be is one of many fellow teachers. There is a certain tact in dealing with a class. He should welcome each pupil, follow and always engage if possible in singing.

So in prayer. Get attention, make truth plain patriarchal looking man and lends grace and dignity to the convention. He presides with great care and deliberation. Rev. Hanpt, the secretary, is a busy, useful member, keeping a faithful record of the proceedings and occasionally slipping into tbe discussion a bright thought If music is called for he presides at the; organ and accompanies it in a delightful manner.

He is a good musician. The attendance at the morning session was fairly good, but some of the delegates and visitors were rather late iu coming. The discussion of the question: "The Life of the Scholar," elicited many good thoughts and was not nearly exhausted when the hour for adjournment arrived, Rev. Seip, pastor loci, had a greeting for everybody and endeavored to make all feel at home. Rev.

Haupt brought out a beautiful thought in his address, last evening when he compared tbe Santa Maria (St Mary) as the bearer of Christopher (Christ-bearer) Columbus (dove) to life New World, there to place the Holy religion of Christ. By the blessed mother, St. Mary, was Christ, the Saviour of mankind, brought into the world, here to establish his religion. Rev. Fegley is an active worker in, the Sunday school cause and prepares Me lessons for the "Helper," which is snch a valuable helper to the Lutheran Sunday school teachers.

Among the active participants in tbe d'scnssiouH from our locality are Revs. B. W. and T. E.

Schmauk, Rev. Giesz, of Jonestown; Rev. Schantz, of Myerstown, and Hon C. R. Lantz, all of whom were attentively listened to when they spoke, and all are earnest Sunday school workers.

The address this morning on "Who Should be Scholars," by Rev. Weber, was especially clear and helpful and the speaker showed that he bad given the subject much thought and consideration. Rev. T. E.

Our people need to learn that they do not go to church merely to heajr the preacher but for the confession of sins and absolution. This thought should be uppermost in the minds of members of tbe church. The venerable Rev. Hafsler showed that his white hairs-are not an evidence Bicycling For Women. Probably no outdoor exercise practised by women has grown as rapidly as his bicycling.

Though it Is less than a dozen years since the first women's wheel club was organized in England there are more than thirty thousand women's bicycles in use in this country today, and clubs are springing np like mushrooms in everyrsection. The wonderful improvement made in tbe construction of the bicycle for women aver those in use a few years ago enables her to ride with ease and grace, and its physical benefits are so numerous that physicians regard it as positive detriment to their business.

COUBT HOUSE ROTES. Beport of the Lebanon County Committee on Woman's Work for the Colombian Exposition. Lebanon country covers an area of 355 square miles, and within its border upwards of twenty thousand women find a home.

Noble women, many of them, but vainly have we serched through its length and breadth for any one to pose for ns as a noted woman; not one writer of any note; not an inventor, except as they ways and means to. make home sweet and attractive, and train np the children to do good in their day and generation. Of women such as these, we have many; women whoso influences for good cannot be estimated iu this life. Greatly have we longed for statistics to reveal all this, but we know that only in God's book of remembrance are these written, and enternity only can make them known. The heart of a good woman naturally inclines to philanthropic work; we are glad to report four charitable institutions in our county, the Good Samaritan Hospital and the Home for Widows and Single Women, both in the city'of Lebanon, which is the county seat, and both managed exclusively by a Board of Women, in each.

Two orphanages, one in Lebanon, nnder the control of the Roman Catholic church, managed by the Sisters of St. Joseph, and the other The Church Home for Orphan and Destitute Children, located at Jonestown, founded by a charitable woman of our county, Mrs. Wm. Coleman, and under the control of the Bishop of the Episcopal church of Central Pennsylvania and managed by a corps of able and devoted Christian women. There are three Parochial schools in the county conducted entirely by women; two Roman Catholic, one at Lebanon and the other at Cornwall.

One connected with St. Luke's P. E. church, Lebanon. This sebool was also founded and supported by Mrs.

Wm. Coleman. Seventy-five women are employed as public school teachers, and several hundred as Sunday school teachers. There are within our borders a chartered college, Lebanon Valley College at Ann- in which four women are included in the faculty; a Seminary at Myerstown and one at Fredericksburg, each employing two or three women in their corps of instructors. There are in Lebanon two art of art needle-work, one of painting, each of which has made application tor space for an exhibit at the Columbian Exposition.

The county is largely agricultural; many a thrifty farm being within its boundaries; in each of them a house-wife busily engaged with her cows, her butter and cheese, but not yet have we found, who, with paddle and broom-splints will deftly carve for ns a "Sleeping lolanthe." Creameries are there, too, employing some women. There are a number of factories for the manufacture of shirts, underwear and handkerchiefs, tho largest being the Industrial Works of Lebanon, which gives employment to over 1,200 women. Of shoe factories we have several, in different parts of the county, wherein several hundred women earn their daily bread; many being employed also in the manufacture of cigars. All these we hope to show when our table ol statistics is complete. We are somewhat hampered in our attempt to collect these, some of the firms seeming to resent onr inquiries as an attempt to pry into their business; others manifest a spirit of indifference, and repeated calls fail to elicit any response.

The women of our committee, however, are faithfully at work, and are. making a thorough canvass of the county, and hope to have it result in a good showing. Respectfully submitted, MRS. JOSEPH H. KKEIDER, Secretary.

ANNVILLE, Pa. Coroner Reger Holds an Inquest on tbe Dead Han's THE EVIDENCE TAXES IN THE CASE. The Finding of the Jury is that He Com. mitted Troubles Believed to Have Prompted Him to Commit the Found He Was Hanging in the Eons Stable With Life Extinct. The suicide of Adam Rauch, of East Hanover township, mention of which was made in these columns yesterday, occasioned not a little excitement in the vicinity in which he lived, and to his friends it was a complete surprise, who never for a moment believed that he would take bis own life.

Coroner Reager yesterday morning proceeded to the home of the suicide and there held an inquest on the remains. He selected for his jury Messrs. 51. P. Klick, Aaron Garnert, J.

M. Jones, Daniel Gerberich, William Slike and Henry Fasuacht. There was found on the person of the dead man $3.52, pair of gloves, hitching strap, small pass book, pocket knife, two lead pencils and several other articles. The following evidence was taken: Mrs. Rauch, took the strap from him, but noticed no change in his manner; did not expect such a result; he was not well and noticed he had trouble; could not fix his debts.

William Hinterleiter, I arose I heard her call, and then she called again, when I went to her assistance; went to the barn and called his name and felt his pulse, but he was dead; think it happened near 6 o'clock; think he had trouble about money matters. Edward Shuey, came this morning to Ranch's house with another man and called Rauch out of bed between and 8 o'clock to talk over his financial troubles; he made an assignment of his stock the day before; Mr. Boeshore in discussing the situation said that whatever would do would be to save Rauch and himself; I do not want to take advantage of yon and all will come right; we then went home and in about half an hour I got notice that Ranch had hung himseli; his feet touched the floor when I saw him hang. The jury came to the conclusion that the deceased came to his death by hanging himself in his barn in the horse stable.

BVENINO SERVICES AT OLD SALEM. A audience met last evening, in old church, at 7:15 o'clock and the highly interesting meeting was led by Rev. F.

J. F. Sohantz, of Myerstown. The hymn No. 123 was sung, and the responsive use of a Psalm and prayer was followed by the first address upon "Christopher Columbus," by C.

Elvin Haupt, of Lancaster, who spoke of the science, training, bravery, faith and the perseverance the man; detailed lessons from the voyage and drew religious thoughts from the facts of the wou- ful career of the great discoverer. This was followed by the hymn "God Bless Onr Native Land." Rev. F. P. Mayser, of Lancaster, followed by a masterly biographic sketch of the patriarch of Lutheranism, Henry Melchior Hnhlenberg, who showed the wonderful growth of the church, planted largely by the efforts of this one man.

After detailing the qnalties and purposes of hii mind and heart, he clcsed with an earnest appeal for Christian education by means of congregational schools. The hymn, "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken," was followed by the closing address of Rev. H. N. Fegeley, of Mechanicsburg, whose subject was the "Rev.

JOHH B. MoPHEBSOX, A.L.J. a Lebanon Industrial Works.

A number of the employees of some of the departments of the Lebanon Industrial Works, on North Seventh street, have been laid off, and it is quite likely that some of the other departments will receive a similar notice. It is stated that the suspension is for the purpose of taking an account of stock and the uncertainty of the tariff laws which may be changed under the Cleveland administration. Prohibition Party Frospects. State Chairman Patton of the Prohibition Party says, "Necessity compels the announcement that Barr Spangler, of Marietta, Treasurer of the State Committee, has not the funds on hand to meet the expenses of the campaign. The State chairman is now carrying a burden of $800 and, as this is a good time to make a thank offering, I feel certain that the 25,000 Prohibitionists of Pennsylvania do not mean that the State Chairman shall carry a debt of $800." Speaking of the vote at the recent election he says that a great many ballots were lost through imperfect marking, as in many counties a blank square was left after the heading "Nomination Papers," as voters placed their mark only after those words, their ballots were thrown out.

Ex-Judge James Black, the first Prohibition candidate for President in 1872, says: "The increase in the party vote shows a healthy growth, which insures success. We will be ready to unite with others nnder a new name, if needful, in the organization of a new party." Getting Heavy.
