HARRISBURG, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1893. Established 1831. Vol. 1.XII., No. 212.

A GOOD DEED NEVER HOES UNREWARDED. A' Wflunded Soldier Shows His Gratitude. Thirty years ago there began a storyvin Harrisburg, the particulars of whicn reaa like a romance, and once more proves the assertion that truth is stranger than fiction. It was during the war. Just after one of the big battles, in which the Union soldiers won a great victory, a number of the wounded men were brought to Harrisburg.

Harrisburg, at the time, had many hospitals in churches, schools and factories, and they were crowded, so much so that patriotic citizens volunteered to take the wounded to their home3 and care for them. Among those who did this was Mr. William D. Martin, of No. 414 N.

Third street. He had a son in the army and naturally his heart went out to the sick and wounded comrades. There was taken to his house a young soldier who was suffering from four bullet wounda, and hurt so badly that it was hardly expected he would recover. Mr. and Mrs.

Slartin nursed him carefully, ministered to his wants, sent for Dr. Rutherford, the elder, to treat him, and every way made the young soldier as omfortable as possible. For a long time there was no improvement, and Dr. Buth erford expressed it as his opinion that the lad would die. But Mr.

and Mrs. Martin would not have it that way. They determined to save his life, and after long weeks of suffering the soldier boy, under their careful nursing, began to improve. He grew strong and well, and one day there came a time for him to again shoulder his gun and go to the front. As he bade Mr.

and Mrs. Martin good bye he said, with tears in his eyes. If I live, I shall never forget you. You will hear from me again." Occasionally they would hear from him in the army, and when the war ended he returned to his home and began business. In the years that followed Mr.

Slartin received letters from his soldier lad, and an occasional inquiry as to his business affairs, his prosperity, etc. Recently, after the lapse of thirty years, came a reward unexpected for Mr. Martin, and one that makes him rejoice for the good deed of long ago. The soldier boy he and his good wife nursed back to life and health and strength has written him a letter telling him thrt hereafter he shall take no thought for the future so far as finances are concerned, that the writer is well off in this world's goods, and proposes that Mr. Martin shall share them with him.

As a consequence Mr. Martin has gone out of a business that he conducted for the better part of half a century, and his declining years of life are made g'ad by the return of the bread cast upon the waters thirty years ago. The fruit and flower thieves who infest this city should be called down. Within the past few days these rascals have depredated a number of yards right in the center of the city. They travel in bands half a dozen or more and while a pair of them keep watch, the others steal the fruit and anything else at hand.

Yesterday four boys, none of them over fifteen, railari a trarH rn "Fnrst.fir st.rfit". And almost stripped a grape vine. They did it, too, with astonishing boldness, for people were passing at the time and could see them. Nothing short of an officer of the law is feared by these boys. When lie was young and It was spring, And skies were ever blue above.

At a meeting of the Police Committee of Select Council last night Frederick Householder and George Newman, two appointees of Mayor Eiy, were recommended for confirmation. The nomination of Crawford Jones was held up in accordance with a resolution of Select Council until such time as the Mayor submits to that body his reasons for dismissing Oflicer Josh Williams. A meeting of Select Council was called for this evening. Mayor Eby was interviewed by a Telegraph man this morning. He stated that no additional nominations of policemen would be sent to Select Council until the 25th of September, es stated in a previous communication of His Honor.

"I am between two elements positive and negative in this police force business," said the Mayor, "but I shall go on in my own way, hoping to avoid all the friction possible and restoring harmony all around. In blocking the wards 1 have discovered that the dissatisfied element is all in Third ward, where there is a number of sore heads in my own party. I can be as aggressive as they, and I do not propose to be dictated to by anybody. This office will not be political headquarters for any faction or paily. The people pay money for police protection, and they have a right to expect it." Asked whether the report was true that R.

M. Sturgeon had bsen tendered the position of Chief of Police, Mayor Eby replied: "I have offered that appointment to no one and all reports to the contrary are unauthorized. There is no law compelling me to make any appointments at any particular time, and I shall exercise my own judgment in the matter." When the interviewer left. Mayor Eby held his usual morning seance. There were three colored women and three white men in the dock.

The three dusky prisoners were arrested for disorderly conduct over in the Eighth ward. All the trouble was occasioned by one of the trio scrapping with another tor alienating the affections of her husband. All were fiaed. The three men were trespassers on the railroad. Mayor Eby said he regretted Harrisburg has no workhouse where such culprits could be sent.

They were sent up for forty eight hours. It is understood that Mayor Eby will submit to Select Council his reasons for dismissing Oflicer Williams; that he refrained from doing so before out of consideration for Williams. Crawford Jones, whose nomination as a policeman is still hanging fire in the Police Committee of Select Council, was a private in the United States army five years, and later a policeman in Topeka, Kansas. He is strongly endorsed by the best colored people of the city, who will urge his confirmation. He has been a resident of Harrisburg eight years.

STRUCK A WOMAN, KILLED AT WHITE HILL. Miss Graybill Steps in Front of a Locomotive. Mary A. Graybill. aged 50 years, daughter of Elias Graybill.

of White Hill, was this morning struck by the Cumber land Valley train that arrives in this city from Chambersburg at eight o'clock, and probably fatally injured. The accident occurred in front of the Graybill residence, along the railroad tracks above the White Hill station. The train that caused the accident was No. 12, due at White Hill at 7:52, and was on time this morning. Miss Graybill was sweeping in front of the house along the track when the train came in sight.

The engineer saw her and whistled to warn her of the approaching cars. She heard the danger signal and waited away irom tne tracic up to the front gate of her yard, appar ently to wait until the train passed, but whea the eugine was almost upon her she turn and walked back upon the track directly in front of it. The locomotive was too near to be stopped in time to avert an accident, though the engineer imme diately reversed the lever and applied the air brakes, and the engine struck her with terrible force. The train was stopped and the injured woman carefully placed upon it and brought to the City Hospital. Mr.

J. C. Clark, the C. V. It.

It. agent, mmediately after the accident sent over a special engine to bring the family over to be with her there. Miss Graybill's injuries consist of a badly crushed arm, bruised body and cuts along the head. Owing to her age the hospital physicians were doubtful as to her recovery. Up to noon to day her condition was very critical.

Persons who witnessed the accident lay no blame on the engineer of the train. He gave the usual signals, ana fliiss waybill left the track, stepping back just as the engine was upon her. She was sub ject to epileptic attacks, and it is thought that this accounts for her stepping back upon the track after she had left it. Miss waybill died at tne city nospitai this afternoon about 1:30 o'clock. The attending physicians endeavored to destroy the effects of the shock, but the in jured woman sank gradually until death ensued.

The body was taken by tne tam ily to White Hill for burial.

A. B. A Larce Gathering; or Veterans at Indianapolis, Sept. 4. This city opened wide its arms to day in hospitable welcome to the men of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Ample provision has been made for the comfort and conveni ence of the delegates and visitors, no matter how large their numbers. The weather is of the finest, and, altogether, nothing seems to be lacking to ensure the complete success of the annual convention of the veterans. In his annual address Commander Os borne said that a number of local associations had joined hands with the national organization since the last convention, and that Vice Admiral Kaznaioff, of the Imperial Russian JSavy, had been enrolled, in the honorary members. Referring to the Fortier matter, the commander said that it had been his painful duty to suspend from office a shipmate who was the only one elected to a national office by a unanimous vote, a man who had the confidence and e3teem of every officer and delegate, but who had deceived the Order sadly. This affair had been the only cloud upon the administration of the year.

(jhansing tne topic, oominander us borne insisted tbat the naval veterans were entitled to the full measure of recognition due them as an important factor in preserving the unity of the States and maintaining the honor of the it was for those that still survive to see to it that their rights were not ignored.

A special commit tee, composed of Shipmates Cook, of Frovidence; Black, of New York, and Lyman, of Dayton, was appointed to submit a report regarding the accounts of ex Treasurer Fortier, and at noon the Convention took a recess.

Sept. 5. The so called hearings of the Committee on Ways and Means of representatives of industries threatened by the Democratic free trade raid are already pronounced a farce. The chairman of the committee has been at work in the preparation of a bill ever since he was placed at the head of the commit tee. The hearings, it can be stated, will have no influence whatever on the bill under way.

The committee, that is a few of them, go through with the form of listening to what these people have to say, but beyound that there are no indications that their remarks or papers will go any turther. The only effective hearing will be that given by the people next year when the election of Representatives to the Fifty lourtu congress comes around. It is very belittling to the manufactur ers to come before this committee even in self defense and to save the American wage workers from starvation when the policy upon which the taritt retorm bill is being prepared has already been decided upon. It was not the manufacturers, hut the mass of the wage workers in States like Connecticut, New York, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and West Virginia, who voted for the change which has come in their affairs. The pressure of public sentiment alone forced the hearings, but the result will show that they were for effect only.

The taritt retorm bill will be tree raw materials and a proportionate cut on all manufactures using iron, wool or coal. If the Senate could take a vote on the direct question of repeal of silver purchases the proposition would be carried in the affirmative by from 8 to 12 majority. lhe Democratic senators, led by Vest and Cockrell and the Senators from the silver States have combined, and nothing short of a cloture will bring them to a final issue in a vote These Senators represent a very small share of wealth or industry, but they will disregard public opinion and national prosperity and propose to antagonize action to the last moment. If the Democratic free silver combine carry out their threats thpy can frustrate action indefinitely. it is doubtful whether Mr.

Voorhees can force a vote by cloture, a3 many anti silver men would vote against that. DEB. THE SPANISH CAEAVELS. Spain Anxious to Tnrn Them Over to the united states at once. Washington.

Sept. 4. Captain Victor Ma Concas Pal an, commanding the Spanish caravels at the World's Fair, and oenor Jose Felipe "erano.

Senor Segrario and Captain Concas had a talk on the subject with Captain Cook, Acting Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, but no decision was reached. The caravels Nina and Pinta were built by the United States, and the Santa Maria was built by Spain, with the understanding that it should be presented to this Government. They Sold Rice Beer. Columbia, S.

Sept. 4. The bomb is about to fall upon the rice beer dealers and in a few days the State constabulary will swoop down upon the places where this beverage is offered for sale. Ever since the dispensary law weot into eircct ex saioonists all over the State have been selling the so called rice beer.

I shall at once instruct my constables to arrest all parties selling rice beer and to arrest the beer also. 1 am going to induct them at once and the analysis will furnish the proof. I am not going to have this monkey business any longer.

EMIN PASHA EATEN.

A Missionary from Central Africa Says He Was Devoured by the Man yeinas. London, Sept. 4. The Rev. Mr.

Swann, a missionary who has just returned from Ujiji, on the east shore of Lake Tanganyika, says that it is impossible to doubt honestly that Emin Pasha is dead. 4The most circumstantial reports reached me from four independent soHrces," said Mr. Swann, "and all agreed as to details. The Aral3 everywhere in Africa are rejoicing over his death." According to the reports received by Mr. Swann, had arnved at the residence of Seyd Bin Abed, in the country of the Manyemas, in the eastern part of the Congo State.

A party of Arabs approached and asked Emin: "Where are you going "To the coast," was Einin's reply. The leader of the Arabs, who was armed with a scimeter, then stepped up to Emin and 6aid: "You arc Emin Pasha, who killed the Arabs at Victoria Nyanza." Without wailing for an answer he struck off Emin's head with the scimeter. Einin's body was thrown to the Manyemas, who ate it. Subsequently the Manyemas murdered Emin's Nubian folio and ale them. Mr.

Swann says that these details have been so often repeated that in Ujiji nobody has the slightest doubt as to their correctness. Dr. Carl Pete Skeptical. Chioago, Sept. 5.

Dr. Carl Peters, the African explorer and German commissioner to East Africa, who has been here several days, was shown last night a cablegram announcing the report brought by Missionary Swann from Ujiji, of the decapitation of Emin Pasha by Arabs and the eating of his body by cinnibals. Dr. Peters was the last white mn to see Emin, which was in 1890, near Victoria JNyanza, ana when iiniin started on his northwestern route through Africa to the west coast. "I am not ready to accept the report of Emin Pasha's death." said the doctor.

"Mr. Swann's account differs from previous ones, in that it professes to give details, but to my mind that is no evidence. Since I left Africa last May, which would be about the time that Mr. Swann left Ujiji for the coast, authoritative information had been received that Emin was living peaceably wilh the Arabs on the borders of the Congo coun try awaiting supplies and money to dis charge his obligations and return to the toast. The only thing in Mr.

Swann's interview that would confirm the report is the fact that Emin is in the Manyemas couniry, anil the Manyemas are can nibals. DK. GRAVES MAY HOT BE BEAD. Vluorous Opposition to an Autopsy lrlnis Out a Queer Story. Denver, Sept.

4. The friends of Dr. T. Thatcher Graves, the alleged mur derer ot Mrs. Larnabv.

arc using their ut most endeavor to prevent an autopsy being held. This has given rise to the story that the doctor is not really dead, but that ho li iken a drug to suspend animation, and tlu.1 when his body is once in the Lauds of friends he will be restored to consciousness. This is given color by the fact that Judge Macon and his son, Graves' counsel, have taken legal steps to prevent an autopsy and inquest. Two doctors stand ready to plunge their knives into the dead man's vitals, but the county commissioners refuse to make an appropriation of about 300 to pay for the autopsy. The Widow's right.

Mrs. Graves, the doctor's widow, is stoutly opposed to the autopsy and inquest. She says that after the letters the doctor left there is no need of an official investigation. Her husband was persecuted to death, she says, and that is all there is to it. She is not satisfied that the doctor committed suicide, and does not believe that his letters were written while in a suicidal frame of mind.

She thinks he simply had prpared them ia anticipation of death from some sudden shock, and she belives that he died from heart failure, due to the publication of the last fusillade from the prosecution containing its promise of positive new evidence, etc Everybody except Mrs. Graves is satisfied as to the fact of suicide, but her friends will not attempt to change her opinion at present, as they believe it would only be a useless blow to her. Dr. J. W.

Uuffaker, Mrs. Graves' physician, saw her early this morning. He reported that she had passed a good night and that she was perfectly rational and her mind was clear. The doctor conducted her to breakfast and she ate a little. Under Zimmerman's Time.
