Senator Turner Has More Than Enough Votes- Trend of Political Events. APROTAL DIAPATOM TO TEE ENQUIRER CLEVELAND, OHIO, January report concerning the closing of the Republican National Headquarters and the discontinuance of agitation along the lines of the single gold standard, as pursued during the late campaign, was entirely premature," said General William McKinley Osborne, cousin of the President elect, and Secretary of the Republican National Committee in charge of the recently established headquarters at Washington, this afternoon. General Osborne came to this city to-day from Canton, where he has been in consultation with Major McKinley. He called on Chairman Hanna, and the subject of the "Information Bureau" was discussed. General Osborne was very indignant to think the story CONCERNING HIS BUREAU Had been sent broadcast over the country.

He declared that it was the Intention of the party leaders to let the agitation of the gold standard gradually wear away and drop out of politics by default. Although General Osborne did not even hint such a thing, it can be easily read between the lines that it was the intention to operate the bureau in a cursory sort of way until after the incoming Administration was firmly installed, and then finally allow It to close up its quarters QUIETLY AND UNNOTICED. It has evidently dawned upon the Republican leaders that to continue the agitation of the gold standard, upon which they won their victory last fall, and with the maintenance of which they promised a revival of prosperity, in the face of the present condition of business, would not be a first rate thing for the party. From the statements by Chairman Hanna and other members of the National Committee that it would be bad policy to continue political agitation, and that a determination has been reached to let the verdiet of the American people and the incoming Administration stand on their merits, is construed by business men and silver advocates to mean that the "advance agent of prosperity" has taken more ders than he can fill for some time to come.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUISER. PHILADELPHIA, January 29.

-The quiet but effective work of President Ingalls, of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, has to all appearance cast a bomb into the Bituminous Coal Trade Association, the full effects of which have not yet appeared on the surface. According to the reports which have gradually leaked out during the last few days, President Ingalls caught his fellow Presidents napping, and made contracts for a year and a half ahead at prices almost unheard of heretofore, then turned up at the meeting in New York Thursday smiling and ANXIOUS FOR HARMONY. The tidewater trade seems to be the only portion so far affected by President Ingalls's coup, which was the direct effect of loss of tonnage sustained by the Chesapeake and Ohio through the action of the B. and 0. receivers in bringing the Fairmont or West Virginia gas coal East to tidewater.

In order to make up for this lost tonnage Mr. Ingalis has since last Saturday secured the cream of the tidewater contracts, not only for the current year, but as far ahead AS JUNE, 1898. These contracts are said to Involve several million tons of coal, which will greatly increase the tonnage of his road. the Pennsylvania, Beech Creek, Baltimore and Ohio and the Norfolk and Western will suffer corresponding decreases in tonnage. The agreement of last spring having been broken, President Ingalls evidently considered himself a free lance to do as he pleased, and while the other Presidents were trying to arrange a conference for the purpose of renewing the agreement, he was busy making his contracts for 18 months Then he slipped over to New York on Thursday and met the other Presidents in conference, ready and willing to arrange rates for the coming year.

COULDN'T REALIZE On Real Estate the Trouble With Knoxville Loan Associations. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. KNOXVILLE, January only building and loan association in this city now which is not in the hands of a receiver is the People's. and it is not purely a building and loan association. but does a banking business with the building and loan as a side issue.

Captain A. V. Burrows was to-day named receiver for the Citizens' Building and Loan Association, The Citizens' Association does business in Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia. The cause given for the assignment was the panic and a failure to realize ou real estate. The stockholders of the Knoxville held meeting to-day, and agreed to have the porary receiver made permanent, and that he be instructed to close up the affairs of the association at once.

This is the oidest one in Knoxville, having been organized in 1872. A feature of the many failures which has not been previously mentioned is- that the associations owe to the city of Knoxville over $8,000 taxes, which must be paid frat of all. Court Decision Caused It. NEW YORK, January shareholders of the Southern Building and Loan Association of Knoxville, which suspended few days ago, are to meet in this city on Monday to take concerted action for the protection of their interests. The assets of the Southern on June 30, 1896, were reported as $5,218,374 and the annual income was nearly $1,500,000.

The failure is ascribed to decision in Tennessee Supreme Court that such loans as the company made were asurious. which caused a panic among the CONVICT'S STORY Proved Apparently By the Records of Lucas County. RECTAL DISPATOM TO THE COLUMBUS, OHIO, January 29. -The conArmation of the story told by Heber Stewart. a convict in the penitentiary, that he is the son of B.

B. Ward and a half brother of Princess De Chimay, told to THE last Sunday comes from Lucas County. In 1878 a suit was begun in the Lucas County Common Pleas Conrt by Jane Deming vs. H. P.

Platt, administrator. From the records on fie in the Court it seems that Harvey Platt was the administrator for Ohio of the estate of E. B. Ward, 1. of Detroit.

Ohio property consisted of acres of land located Dear Jerusalem. in this county, and valued at about $250,000. The petition of the plaintiff recites services, and annexed to it is a hill of costs. which reads as follows: Estate of E. B.

Pardon by the trial judge and prosecutor on COUNSEL For Murderer Franta, The Convieted Slayer of Bessie -Little at Dayton, Deny He Contemplated Cheating the Electric Chair. Colonel Nevin Makes Statement in Behalf of the Condenned Man. The statement made by Judge 0.

B. Brown, of Dayton, Ohio, at the St. Nicholas Thursday, to the effect that Murderer Albert J. Frantz was hastened from the Jail to the penitentiary annex to prevent him from committing suicide, has created considerable excitement in the Gem City. Despite the fact that Judge Brown narrated the details of the plan of Frante to take his life, the prisoner's attorneys seek to deny the statement, and declare that it la calculated to injure the prospects of Franta for new trial or a commutation of sentence.

They assert that enemies of Frants originated the story for the purpose of hav. ing it appear that there was no doubt of his guilt, and that his case was so hopeless to prompt him to contemplate the desperate act. Judge Brown, on the other hand, said that Sheriff Anderton discovered posttive evidence in Franta's cell of his plan to commit suicide, the principal feature of which was nothing less than a memoranda written by Franta himself, telling of what he intended to do and leaving a farewell message to his relatives. Frantz intended to take poison. There can be no doubt of this, Judge Brown is too well known gentleman and a jurist to permit of his word being doubted, and is too familiar with the case of Frantz to make any mistake on his part at all possible or probable.

COLONEL NEVIN TALKS At Dayton yesterday, Colonel R. M. Nevin, chief counsel for Frants, said to an ENQUIRER correspondent: "So far as the trial is concerned, we have no complaint to make. Judge Brown entirely fair and courteous to us, as were also Mr. Kumler, Prosecuting Attorney, and Mr.

Patterson, his assistant. We got along SO nicely that we regret exceedingly that anything subsequent happened to mar our pleasant recollections of it. In view of Judge Brown's holdings during the trial, we were not disappointed at his overruling our motion and his sentencing Frants to death." "It was then the sudden and unexpected taking away of Frantz that you complain of, is it?" "Yes, we did feel in that matter that had not been treated courteously by some one. Without a word of warning or anything to lead us to believe that would be treated differently from other persons, he was spirited away. "In said Mr.

Nevin, "the first intlmation I ever had from any source was when my son told me that as he got off of Big Four train coming from Cincinnati he saw Sheriff Anderton and his Deputy get on the train with Frantz. Mr. Van Skelk and I were taking dinner together at the Beckel House and we could hardly believe it. We could scarcely realize that we had been treated so discourteously, but on investigation we found it to be true. We pressed ourselves very plainly about it and still think it an unheard of proceeding.

Understand now that his removal did not effect our legal rights one particle. It is a matter of utter indifference so far as our future action is concerned whether Frantz is Annex. In the Dayton Jail or the Columbus But, of course, we had many matters we wanted to talk to him about and some business arrangements to make. If Sheriff Anderton had said to, us that he was liable to take him away at any moment, he had right to do, so that we could have gone and talked to him perhaps an' hour, would have had no cause to complain. HAD TO GO TO COLUMBUS, "As it was, we were compelled and did to Columbus the next day to see him, and by permission of Warden Coffin we did see him in the Annex.

We think in addition to this, that the treatment. of. Frantz and his relatives was unkind say the least. His father, who is over years of age and so permanently crippled that it was with difficulty that he could come upon crutches into the courthouse to testify in his son's behalf and the weather had been such recently that he could not get out at all, had intended coming over 10 a few days 10. see his boy, his baby, for a few moments.

Why, that poor consolation was denied him and why that privilege was denied to his devoted sister, those responsible alone can "What about the intimations that he going to commit "So far as we know, there is not one word of truth in that, We came down on the same train with Sheriff Anderton the day were Columbus, and in his explanations and4 apologies to us there was not the slightest intimation of anything of the kind. that was the reason surely he would have mentioned it to us, at rate. This story of his attempted of contemplated suicide seems like a good many stories in this case. It is to give the public the idea that Frants, being guilty and having been so found, now seeks to make away with himself. We want to say here and now for ourselves and our co-counsel, Judge Kreltzer, that not one of us has ever heard word or seen an act of his that in the least degree even Intimated such a purpose on his part, or that he had ever dreamed of such an act.

Frants has always quietly, modestly, but firmly, serted his Innocence. He insists now that the time will. come when all this public clamor and passion shall have ceased and died away, that he will be vindicated and his innocence made clear. NEVER SAW JACKSON AND WALLING, equally. untrue, and started for an equally Improper purpose, was that- Frants had visited Jackson and Walling, or had attended their trial during Its progress.

It is an absolute falsehood, made out of whole cloth. He never saw either Jackson or Walling, or was never day at the trial of either of them in life. A report was also started that he a cousin in the penitentiary of the name of Shank. This is equally untrue. He has no relative there In any degree whatever.

"During all his trial both he and counsel kept the strictest silence, and think that now these stories, started for Improper purposes to arouse passion and prejudice, are worse than cruel, and should be stopped at once, Surely nothing should be done from this time on to prejudice him either to Court or the public." you expect the Circuit or Supreme Court to grant a new trial? do certainly believe that there manifest error in the record to the prejudice of the defendant, but as the gentlemen representing the state differ from on that proposition we can only wait and see what the outcome will be." "You intend, do you, to take it to the Bupreme sir: you may rest assured that this. Court?" matter will be on by the Court of last it it be necessary to so that far." GOT BROKE IN CINCY.

DEAD MAN'S "SIG" Forged To a Note For esting, Suit Ended. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. SOUTH BEND, January the Marshall County Court to- Judge Capron decided that a note for $10,000 in Ben Newman's favor, and which, it was alleged, had been signed by the late Wayne Miller, was forgery. Miller became quite wealthy in the livery business, and associated with him his friend. Ben Newman, who cared for him during sickness and attended to his business affairs.

It was expected that when Miller died he would remember Newman handsomely in his will, but great was the surprise when it was found that he bad left bit nothing. Shortly afterward James Brown, an ploye of Newman. brought to light the note which has just been declared a forgery, saying Miller had signed it, he alone being a witness. Brown said he made it payable to Newman after his death and left the note in Brown's keeping. Nearly a hundred witnesses were examined.

and the Miller estate had experts from Chicago and other paces to declare Miller's signature had been forged. WHOLE TOWN Almost Destroyed By Fire Albany Had No Protection.
