Lena Miller, 20 years of age, attempted to jump from a fire escape in the rear of her apartments in Brooklyn early this morning. Police officers saw the woman hanging by her hands from the iron bars forty feet above the ground. The woman was about to jump, and as it was too late to go up to her rescue they told her to let go. She complied, and fell feet downward like an arrow. The officers who stood with feet braced, muscles stiffened and arms outstretched, grabbed the descending form, breaking the fall, but all three fell to the ground.

For several minutes the woman appeared as if dead, and one of the policemen summoned an ambulance from St. John's Hospital. When the surgeon arrived and made an examination he said that Miss Miller had suffered no injury from her perilous drop. DEADLY AFTERDAMP Three Men Killed in un Explosion in a rij-month Mine.

Dr. Bedloe was indorsed by Senators Quay and Penrose, but his selection was made more on account of I sprvP(1 1ri varifms Hir.inrrmtir itirm in Italy, China and Egypt, under Presidents Hayes and Harrison.

Bochert was charged with negligence and Howley with offensive partisanship and assault and battery on Timothy O'Leary. Collector Fruit filed the charges with Secretary of the Treasury Gage, who announced to-day that the charges would be sustained by the department and that Bochert and Howley would have to go. Isaac N. Moffett, of Glassboro, will be appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for the first district of New Jersey in a few days.

Last evening officers arrested Grant Witchie and William Thrash on the charge of attempting to blow up William Kulp's house. Tho witnesses the plaintiff were alone put on the stand and the testimony was quite sensational. The first witness was William Kulp. He told how he had been aroused Sunday night by a tremendous explosion which he judged at once to have been caused by dynamite. He told of the dirt flying against the side of the house and the search for the perpetrators.

Alvan Kulp, the 13-year-old son, gave damaging testimony against the defendants. He stated that while driving along the road on Sunday evening he passed the two prisoners who were standing on the railroad.

He said that Thrash was the man who made the demonstration. John Cook, Coal and Iron policeman.

Mr. Cook testified that he heard Witchie say that he threw the dynamite because of a fight he had with Gulp. He also heard Thrash say that he went to Hollywood with Witchie. The Alderman, after weighing the evidence, decided to hold both men in tail for court, in default of which they were remanded to- the lockup.

WATCHING FOR SHORTAGES The Coal Exchange Still Weighing: School House Supplies. At the meeting of the Philadelphia Coal Exchange last nightw Chairman Shuster, of the Committee on Wreights, reported they were still weierhinsr coal the school house cellars in view of the alleged shortages and that the work would be completed next week. The results developed will be finally laid before the proper committee of the Board of Education. In the trade itself several cases of light weights have been discovered and some of them had been placed in the hands of the Exchange's attorney for prosecution. Mr.

Shuster, in connection with his report, stated that at a hearing before Magistrate Jermon yesterday, it was charged that he had been pushing those individual cases out of pure malice. This he emphatically denied and declared that what was being done was for the general good of the public and the coal trade. In one case, he said, a man had been selling at a shortage of M7 pounds to the ton. If it was malice to prosecute such a case he did not understand the purpose of the Exchange. The president upheld Mr.

Shuster in his course, saying that every case acted upon had first to be decided by the committee and not by its chairman. The report was adopted. The ordinance now pending before Councils' Committee providing for the lighting of all vehicles at night was discussed, the general opinion being in favor of it, though some of the members thought the fine of $10 excessive. The question of the advance in prices was brought up and Mr. Shuster urged that all retailers stand for the regular rate of $5.75 or 6 per ton when carried in.

WEYLER MUv, GET OUT If the Captain-General Fails to Resign He Will Be Recalled. MADRID, Oct. Senor Sagasta, the Premier, was the first visitor at the United States legation this morning.

The government, Se-Jhor Sagasta added, will carry out its political and military program with firmness and sagacity. When the Pre-mier was questioned regarding the future of Captain-General Weyler he said he supposed Weyler would resign, adding that if he did not do so he would be recalled.

SUFFOCATED IN A HOTEL Traveling Man Found Dead and the Gas Turned On.

Special to The Inquirer. READING, Oct. 5. Alexander Levi, aged about 33 years, was found dead in bed in his room, at the Hotel Penn, this afternoon, having been suffocated by gas. The burner was turned on.

One of the porters detected an odor of gas, and Levi's room door was forced open. He was found stretched across the bed, and had apparently been dead some hours. Levi came to the hotel last night and registered, giving his residence as Philadelphia. He spoke only a few words, and at once retired. He had no baggage.

He was of small size, and wore a black mustache. It was said that he was the traveling agent for a New Yortt novelty firm. tin a to Enthusiastic Indorsement of the Candidate for Mayor by the Big Meeting. From The Inquirer Bureau. NEW YORK, Oct.

5. Henry George was nominated for Mayor of Greater New York by a big meeting of Jef-fersonian Democrats in Cooper Union to-night. Charles A. Walsh, of Iowa, secretary of the National Democratic Commit tee, officially recognized the George party as the regular Democracy of New York city, and Senator Benjamin Tillman, of South Carolina, pledged himself to work in the National Com mittee for a ratification of the sec retary's recognition. The meeting which overflowed into the square outside Cooper Union was an enthusiastic pro-George anti-Crok-er demonstration.

The thousands who filled the hall to the utmost limit of crowding cheered every mention of the name of George, every plank in his platform, and every sentence, that he uttered, and hissed and groaned at every allusion to Tammany. The meeting did not seem to realize the difference of the position in which Henry George finds himself now, for it gave no heed to a telegram from the secretary of the National Democratic Committee that indicates that Tammany may be the organization outside of the breastworks of partisan Democracy, and that George and the men who named him may be recognized as the real Democracy of New York by the National Committee. MOVE AGAINST TAMMANY. The program all along has been to name Mr. George, not as the candidate of any body of men, but of the whole people, and, that being done, to take a name and become a new party.

As soon as the telegram arrived the plan was altered by the leaders, and the next move will be to have the National Committee declare Tammany outside of the fold and Mr. George the candidate recognized as of it. Owing to the change in the plan of the meeting Henry George was nominated in a single sentence by Charles O'Connor Hen-nessy not for any of the Democratic bodies of the city, but for the meeting. There was long-continued shouting for George, and after much delay George appeared. accepting the nomination Mr.

George said; "I am a Democrat not a silver Democrat, or a gold Democrat but a Democrat who believes in the cardinal principles of the Jeffersonian Democracy; to whom this great truth is self-evident that all men are created equal. On that principle I stand. That principle, so far as I have power, will be carried forward. The great office for which you have named me gives me no power to carry out in full my views, but I can represent the men who think with me that all men are created equal." The platform adopted declares Tammany Hall to be in cowardly subjection to undemocratic forces of monopoly, praises William J. Bryan for his courage and fidelity, indorses the Chicago platform and embodies most of the principles of the platform already adopted by the Democratic Alliance.

At Tammany Hall to-day, Mr. Crok-er and John C. Sheehan settled their differences by Mr. Croker dropping his mask and coming out into the open as the real boss of Tammany Hall. He accepted full responsibility for the nomination of Judge Van Wyck, his personal candidate for Mayor.

The Brookfield Republicans' Executive Committee to-night indorsed the entire Citizens Union ticket from Mayor to Aldermen. The anti-Tammany faction of the Gold Democratic party assert that they will carry the city and county convention of that organization tomorrow for Low, though it is expected that Tammany's county ticket will be indorsed. Physicians 'have formed an organization against Low, blaming him because the appointment of hospital surgeons was placed in the hands of representatives of the College of Physicians and Surgeons to the exclusion of other institutions. HARD KNOCKS AT TAMMANY. Tammany had a bad day in dealing with the malconents who threaten it with disruption, and all the efforts of Croker and his friends did not prevent the dissatisfied ones from dealing the tiger several hard blows.

Among these were the issue of a manifesto by President William Lyman, of the Irish National Alliance, denouncing Tammany Hall for ignoring the Irish in Its ticket and opposing Croker for his pro-British tendency and the resignation of William Hepburn Russell, a prominent lawyer, from the organization. Croker and Sheehan, who had been on the point of a combat for the leadership, cam-s together before the meeting of the Executive Committee of Tammany Hall and patched up their differences. Croker's attitude was conciliatory, and it is believed he has agreed to place at least one man of Sheehan's choice on the Tammany county ticket to be named on Thursday afternoon. Each then informed the reporters that there was no difference between them. Sheehan presided at the Executive Committee meeting; and Croker made a speech, saying that there was no trouble in the organization, that Mr.

Sheehan was the leader and should be followed. He assured the members that the ticket would win on election day. THREE MORE DEATHS Leas Favorable Condition Exists at Jkew Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 5.

After two days ot improvement and of promise the fever situation on the face of the record took somewhat a bad turn to-day.

In a few hours three deaths had also been reported to the board, G'ose Study of the Subject Equips Him for the Task of Enlightening the Public.

The widespread movement on the part of the people to prevent, if possible, the grabbing Of the city gas works by the United Gas Improvement Company has been given an additional impetus by a pamphlet which Pin-ley Acker issued yesterday. The pamphlet carries on its title page the phrase -Eminent Respectability," which has played and is playing so important a part in the arguments advanced by' the supporters of the U. 1. I. lease, and this definition of the phrase: "The latest public foe.

under whose guise it is proposed, during the next thirty years, to tax every manufacturer, every merchant, every clerk, every artisan, every laborer and every householder in Philadelphia, by charging double or treble price for gas, to enable a wealthy syndicate to reap fabulous profits through their autocratic control of the gas monopoly of Philadelphia." In preparing the book Mr. Acker has evidently made an exhaustive study of the several propositions now before Councils and the eight or ten chapters it contains are full of body-blows for the U. G. I. grab.

WHY IT WAS PRINTED. In a talk with an Inquirer reporter yesterday Mr. Acker said that he had been led to publish the pamphlet by the fact that half a dozen or more well-known business men had appeared before the Joint Sub-Committoe on Finance and Gas in support 'of the Oolan. United Gas Improvement Company, lease, and the impression had been created thereby that the representative business men of the city were alL or nearly all in favor of that lease. "I do not think," declared Mr.

Acker, "that the majority of the business men who talked for the U. G. I. proposition before the Joint Sub-Cominittee gave the proposition the careful study it should ihave before they argued in Its favor. In fact, a number of them confessed that they had only read it casually and some not at all.

I myself might have, after first learning of the proposition through the newspapers, gone before the committee and spoke for the U. G. I. proposition had 1 been asked, for there is no denying that Philadelphia's gas supply should be Im proved. But now, after studying us provisions, I am thankful that I was not asked, for if I had been and had complied with the request I could not now do otherwise than go again before the committee and.

after taking back what I said, denounce the proposition as it should be denounced." AS TO EMINENT RESPECTABILITY "Heretofore our citizens." writes Mr. Acker in the pamphlet, "have tried to be on their guard against the assaults made by railway lobbyists, electric light lobbyists. Schuylkill Navigation lobbyists. Mutual Automatic Telephone lobbyists, and other forms of professional lobbyists. There was or.

satisfaction in dealing with these professional enemies to the public good we knew where they stood, even though we were beaten in the contest. "But 'Eminent Respectability' is a new fad. The public generally doesn't comprehend what it means. It got an idea recently, when the Public Buildings Commission agreed to pay one contractor over one hundred thousand dollars more than was asked by another responsible party for the same work. The plea made by the commission in justification of this waste of th people's money was 'Eminent Encouraged by the composure with which the public received the news of the first raid upon the treasury, under the guise of 'Eminent the planners of the second raid apparently thought that so euphonious a title would again fall so pleasantly upon the ears of the public that no questions would be asked, no matter whether the raid was for one hundred thousand dollars or one hundred million dollars." MILLIONS IN IT.

Then the pamphlet goes on to show in concise and readily understood figures the enormous profits the U. G. I. people will make should they succeed in having control of the City's Gas Works turned over to them. Quoting from the published reports of various gas companies and from information furnished by gas experts Mr.

Ackr demonstrated that gas can be mad and distributed for from :1 cents to 4 cents per thousand fet. "Admitting, however, cents to represent the actual cost," says thf writer, "under proper management, of making and distributing gas in Philadelphia, and then taking the difference between cents and (Ml cents, cents, SO cents and 7." cents, wheh, under the lease, would be received during the respective periods; and allowing for the increased consumption according to the United Gas Improvement Company's own estimate, the calculation will show that during the next thirty years the profits of those owning this lease would be fifty-eight million, five hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars! This calculation does not allow for the feet of gas whic-h the company proposes to furnish the city free, and which, at emt9 per thousand, would cost annually; but Continued on Fifth Page.

Daisy, sister of the vicious runaway West Philadelphia boy, Richard Smith, was carried to the grave yesterday by six little white-clad schoolmates, wearing their communion veils and dresses. As she lay dying, "in the blighted home at No. 5-K4 Haverford street, with still a yearning look in her dimming eyes, the brother she had loved so well was out in the streets, and care." And when in the white cloth casket, in which the body was borne to the Church of Our Mother of Sorrows, he was not of those who walked in the mournful procession of children and adults.

It was a painful sequel to the boy's previous escapades. Before she was stricken with the fatal consumption Daisy was a beautiful girl of fourteen years. With a wealth of black hair, and large blue eyes, she was a favorite with all who knew her. Affectionate and she adored the boy who cared not whether she lived or died. Fifteen minutes before she left the world, he went out to play, despite the pleadings of an elder brother.

Miner R. Smith, who is married, and lives in Newark, N. J. "When I asked him to come in quick, and told him that Daisy was going fast, his answer was, I don't So said the elder brother to a reporter of The Inquirer last evening. Ten minutes or more after the life had fled he returned, too late to take a farewell kiss, or to say a kindly word.

It was a cruel blow to Daisy that he had not been at the bedside, where in prayer and tears, knelt the despairing father, mother and elder brother. The distress of the parents did not seem to concern him. So it continued until the funeral morn. Robed in white, the girl companions of the dead child, and some of the boys, came to pay respect and to join in the march to the church. The boy Richard was there also.

When asked if he would not press his lips to the brow of the sister that was gone, he merely said that he had already done so. Before the cortege moved he brought more sorrow to relatives and friends. He did not want to walk with the other children. He did want to ride in the family carriage, and to have a boy chum ride with him. The parents would not consent.

Then came his fit of rage. Seizing his hat he dashed from the house by a rear entrance, and the procession moved on without him. There was no reference to his shameful act by the good priest of the church, who spoke of Daisy's innocence and love for those who were her friends. High mass Was celebrated, the casket was returned to the hearse by the school girl pallbearers, and Daisy Smith was at rest. Where the boy has gone no one can tell.

Where he will go Is not so hard to guess. The elder brother says it wiil be some institution where he will have to behave. "I do not believe he is criminally inclined," said Miner to The Inquirer reporter. "But he is stubborn, vicious and revengeful. He would not steal, but he would take from us all of our happiness.

He is not like any other member of our family. We are anxious to get him bacli, not, however, with the same anxiety as when he ran away before. He has gone too far for that. A place of safe keeping.with punishment for misbehavior, may In the end bring him to his senses. I have already told the lieutenant of police of what he did today, and he has said that his men will try to find him.

My coming to Daisy's side, in answer to a telegram, held her up for a time, but the absence of her younger brother probably hastened her death. "Dick, as we liked to call him in the past, is fo'ir feet five inches in height, has blue eyes and dark hair, and carries a brown birthmark on the right breast. He now wears a light brown suit of clothes, with a straw hat encircled by a blue band. There Is a blue ridge of straw at the top of the hat. Anyone who may identify him should hold him, his brother says, until his father can take him in charge.

I am inclined to think LITTLE DICK SMITH he will go back to Delaware county, where he roamed before." MISSING FRANK FOLEY Another West Philadelphia Hoy Who Has Mysteriously Disappeared. The friends of Frank Foley, of C10 North Forty-fourth street, are very much worried over the disappearance of their son on July 1. Young Foley worked in a bakery, and lie left his place of employment without any statement as to where he was going or why he went. The missing boy is 14 years old.

Suicide Theory Believed, After an Investigation Lasting; Over Six Hours. The inquest into the cause of the death of Annie Dorman was held yesterday at the Dorman homestead, Sixty-third and Market streets, by Coroner Minshall, of Chester. The girl was found in her bedroom on September 1 with two bullet-wounds in her body, one penetrating the head and the other the heart.

The Jury, after six hours' deliberation, agreed "That Annie Dorman came to her death by pistol-wounds inflicted by some person or persons unknown to the jury, on September 1. 181)7." Witnesses testified that Annie had been cruelly treated by Mrs. John T. Dorman, by whom she was employed. and a letter from the girl's father, A.

H. Dorman, to Coroner Minshall set forth the same facts. John T. Dorman, the dead girl's half-brother and employer, testified that she had lived with him for five years and had been away nine weeks. She came back July 14.

He denied that Annie and his wife had ever quarreled. Once she did complain about some trouble with his wife, but that was a long time ago. A letter was presented by Coroner Minshall from the girl's father declar ing that his daughter could not have shot herself with a rusty pistol that had been loaded from two to five years. He complained that Lizzie, John's wife, had not treated Annie right. Dr.

John W. Eckfeldt, who made the postmortem, testified that the wounds were not self-inflicted. Dr. S. R.

Crothers, the Coroner's physician, testified much in the same strain and said the case might be one suicide, but it was highly improvable. Mrs. Lizzie Dor man in her statement said she had left the girl in apparently good health previous to going to the city. She admitted that she had once taken her bythe throat. Robert E.

Catherman said he had seen the girl on the morning of the tragedy at 11 o'clock, and that he had on several occasions seen her crying and had seen Mrs. Dorman chase her with a broom. Ernest L. Pendlebury, the young lover of the girl, testified as to his relations with her and how he had always found her happy. He said that she had acknowledged to him that John Dorman had both a gun and revolver.

At the close of the testimony the Jury gave the verdict as stated. ROBBED IN A HOTEL Thieves Seeure Nearly SjttOO From a Pottsville Woman. Special to The Inquirer. POTTSVILLE, Oct. 5.

To-day, during the absence of Miss Mary Smith from her room at the Merchants' Hotel, her trunk was broken open and nearly $400 was taken, most of It being in gold coins.
