HARRlSBtJRG, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1893. Vol. No. 233. Established 1831.

I UNIQUEJIGN, A TOWN'S CHIEF CURIOSITY They Wan to Go to the Soldiers' Orphans' School. Ir is l't often that a bathe pole becomes the chief attraction of a town, but Gossip heard of just such a case the other evening. A Harrisburg voting lady who was visiting in Sharpsburg, was taken "down town on the morning after her arrival, to see what her friends told her was the pride of all good Sharpsburg citizens, 'and something which they never failed to exhibit to visitors. The young lady's cu riousity, of course, was greatly aroueed, and when s'ae was marched down town to view it, she was on" pins and needles to see what it really was. The party halted in front of a modest looking barber shop on one of the side streets and there the 4 est drew off to witness her admiration.

Aad they weren't disappointed either. This is the sign that caught her eye and which she copied on the spot as tod good to lose: F. Leak ins, Barber and Remover of Hair feuit Appendages. Tonsorial Artist and Physiognomical Hair Cutter, Capillary Abridger and Cranium Manipulator. Done with Am bidexteri7y." wonder where all the soldiers' orphans' come from," Baid an attache of the Soldiers' Orphans' Commis sion to Gossip.

Yes I'll tell vou. The original bill reducing the number of soiaiers orphans schools, ana toroiaamg any mice entries was passed several years "ago. it was found this would not worfc. "5.ere were so many applications for admission to the three schools. Harford, Uniontown and Chester Springs, that the Commission had to lake some cognizance of them.

To this end tht re was incor porated in the law recently passed by the iiegnaiature a proviso admitting all orphans of regularly discharged soldiers. The consequence of this is that there are very many applications. Why, only last week we had an application from a poor widow who wants to get her six children into the schools. They are destitute, the woman has nothing, and we have to provide something for her and her little ones. You might think that there were no soldiers orphans' in Harrisburg.

Look at this letter." Gossip looked at the letter. It was a pitiful plea from an old soldiers' widow asking that here nine nine, remember children should be given a home and an education. And this is the problem that confronts the Commission every day. It is really doing a good work, fit is striving to take care of the children of their old comrades, but it must be remembered that there were some very young men in the army, and there are many young orphans on the hands of the Commission. Queen Autumn has opened her royal conservatories to flower lovers.

The scep ter this queen sways now is the golden rod, and the bright and beautiful flower ails field and roadside with yellow glory, it Is springing up in such plenty that folks gather armfuls of it to make bright autumn adornments for the home. Golden rod gathering is altogether a satisfactory affair. Other wild flowers have a way of wilting before they can be conveyed to the home, but golden rod not only stands the journey well, but keeps fresh and bright for days after. It will keep even longer if it is not put in water, for the yellow flower dries quickly and holds its color and form. A charming bouquet can be made of golden rod, cat tails and some red grasses picked in the fields.

The lun Is over, All lonely is the shore, tte maiden is a rover About the sands no more. The hops and dissipations Among companions gay. Her various small flirtations Forgotten are to day. Tne young men slie enraptured, But didn't seem to care Though one she might have oaptured. She never set a snare.

Tne unsophisticated Perhaps the knowledge shocks, Jjut none wno on her waited JHad feaJI enough of rocks." CAPITOL HILL. Secretary Stewart, of the Department of Internal Affairs, will proceed against street passenger railway companies which have failed to submit their annual reports as required by law. Prof. J. T.

Rothrock, of the State Forestry Commission, recommends to county superintendents the teaching of forestry as a branch of public school duties.

Jacob D. Rider, a compositor in the Telegraph job room, played center for Crescent, fool ball eleven in yesterday's cpenlh? game of the season at McGrann's Park, Lancaster, with the Alerts, the latter winning by a score of 8 5. The Crescents were the heavy weights and the Alerts the superior in agility and skill.

Rider bears on his face and head plainly visible reminders of the closeness of the contest. BURGLARS AT WORK. Two Places Entered uy Thieves Xist JN'iglit Where Are tlie Police? Cool weather didn't effect the burglar, who burgleth, last night, inasmuch as he got in his work at two places in the city at the second hand store of Abel Cohen, at Walnut and Cowden streets, and the residence of Prof. Charles A. Ellenberger, at Thirteenth and State streets.

The person or persons who did the Cohen job were nervy fellows, "jimmying" the front door ia the full glare of an electric light, and taking therefrom three open faced silverine watches, one solid gold ladies' hunting case watch, four revolvers, a couple dozen watch chains, pair bracelets, two dozen cutaway coats, a pair of shoes, overcoat and other articles of clothing. It was evidently a professional who operated at the Ellenberger residence, judging by the manner in which an entrance was effected. The cellar window was forced but the door at the head of the steps was locked, necessitating anothsr try. One of the windows on the first floor had a cracked pane of glass, and this the fellow removed. By inserting some instrument he worked the "catch" and pushed up the sash, had a eood chance at the inside shutters.

Then the coast was clear, and when the family came down stairs this morning the members discovered some money, a hat and jacket missing. Some theater and railroad tickets in Prof. Ellenberger's pocket were not molested. The cigar store of W. H.

Zarker, at Cameron and Market streets, was also robbed last night. The thieves forced the door open with an iron bar, boHly turned on the electric lights, and then gathered together $50 worth of the best goods. A gentleman residing opposite saw them in the store, but thought it was the proprietor. Allison's Hill was not missed by the festive burglar. He entered Hoffman's shoe store, No.

1531 Derry street, through a rear door and secured six pairs of shoes and 28 cents. A barber shop at Nineteenth and Derry streets and the shop a couple doors removed from it were also entered. A Kre and a Robbery. An old frame building owned by Samuel Shumberger, on Crescent street, was destroyed by fire last night. The fire is thought to have been of incendiary origiD, as there was an attempted robbery at Hoffman's shoe store, on Derry street, about the same time, the thieves being frightened away, however, before they secured anything.

Two suspicious drunks who were found near by were pulled in for a hearing. CLOSE OF THE SHOOT. Worden Gave Klelntz a Lively Hustle for the Championship. The Wllliamsport diamond trophy for the individual championship of Pennsylvania at live birds, which was beina: contested for when the Telegkaph's report closed last evening, was finally won by Kleintz, of Philadelphia. James H.

Worden, president of the Harrisburg Shooting Association, was a big favorite, and the crowd wanted badly to see him win, but he unfortunately missed the first bird out of his last five. To da was the last one of the shoot, the big contest being for the L. G. Smith gun trophy for the teams of three men each. Miss Ray, of Gloucester, N.

better known as the "Little Hawkeye," gave aa exhibition of shooting this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The attendance during the day was not very large owing to the raw wind that swept across the traps, materially hindering good scores. The shoot has played in hard luck so far as weather is concerned, which is to be regretted, as many persons were kept away who would otherwise have patronized the events. The sweeostake events were shot off in the morning, the afternoon being uevoiea to contesting ior the Lu U. Smith trophy.

By to morrow morning the last visiting marksman will have left the city, and the biggest shoot that Harrisburg has ever seen will be a thing of the past. Distinguished French Visitors. President GrosjeaD, of the Lalance Urosean company, arrived in this city 12 aJ2d with Detanger, M. Grobot and Keller, three members of the party of dminguished French engineers who are makinga tour of the United States, visited the Lalance Grosjean works in West Harrisburj to day. They were much impressed with the industries of this cnuntrv.

President Grosjean reports an improvement in business. The enlargement of the plant in this city will take place as soon as the conditions justify it. The Careless Gunner Again. Stray shot from a gun in the bands of a careless youth engaged in the effort to drop pigeons escaping from the shot of the marksmen on the Sixth street grounds yesterday afternoon struck a Miss Weaver, residing on Hunter street, in the face, eve and breast. She was going to Hummel's farm bouse for milk when the accident occurred.

The boy's name is not known. It is feared that the young girl will lose the sight of the injured eye. Union Bible Class. Pastor D. M.

Benjamin Franklin Tt nni despoiler of female virtue and Wrangler of little AgEes Cooper Wrighi, was ajjaia brought into court this afternoon.

The temple of justice was packed and every word of the testimony Uken to establish the grade of the prisoner's guilt fell upon listening ears. Every inch of space in the court room was packed with people, the aisles being crowded to suffocation. Hundreds were unable to get inside the doors and the window ledges were occupied by the curious mob. Tennis was brought in shortly before 2 o'clock and promptly at that hour the case was called and the taking of testimony was commenced with Mrs. Margaret Wright, the mother of the murdered child, on the stand.

She testified that her eldest daughter, who would have been nine next December, was Agnes Cooper Wright, and stated that she had never returned alive after she started for school the morning of the tragedy. The mother then told how she had searched for her missing child, inquiring among the reighbors, and finally giving an alarm. Her Child's body, she said, was brought home between 9 and 10 o'clock at night. (Here she broke down and wept.) Regaining her wonderful composure the modest, sad faced woman continued her story, relating in tail how her eluhlrea went for water to a neighbor's. She also stated that Teania had given her children sweetmea's.

J. T. Remsburg, surveyor, was next called and produced a draft of the houses and roads in the vicinity of he crime, showing the path which the little girl had taken on the morning of her He testified as to the rough country and thick underbrush. Coroner Hoy was the third witness. He testified to the receipt of a telegram noti fying him of the tragedy and related how he went to Sand Hill the morning after the commission of the crime and instructed Dr.

W. C. tker to hold a post mortem examination, but no cutting was subsequently deemed necessary, the marks on the body being regarded as sumcieut. The case was then submitted to the district attorney for further investigation. Dr.

Baker, being cilled, described the bruises and marks upon the face, neck and body of the murdered child, he having been called to the scene upon the finding of the body. He told how the clothing of the chi.d was saturated with blood and how brutally she must have been tre ted by the hend who sat listening to the physician's awful story. Dr. Baker said in his judgment the child had first been outraged and strangled to death. William Reigle, another neighbor, said Tennis passed his place about 8 or 9 o'clock on the morniDg of the day the little girl was killed.

The following Sunday night Tennis had told him "he was going to sue them fellows that were talking about Lim. Witness helped to carry the child's body home. He saw Tennis coming from the direction of the thicket where the murder occurred. Emma Reigle, daughter of the preceding witness, was a schoolmate of Agnes. She told how it was customary for Ago.es to stop at her home and accompany her to school.

On the morning of the tragedy ishe waited half an hour for Agnes, and when she did not come she went to school without her. Witness had washed several shirts for Tennis, who asked whether she had noticed any blood on his shirt. He told her salt water was good to remove it. Benjamin Haveshaw, an cxcpedinoly deaf witness, described how the child lying when her body was found. lie was one of the searching rue body was found a few yards from the road.

There was a dense thicket. Barney Eisenhower was also one of the searching party and described the finding of the body and the appearance of it Tennis had also been present and went for a board to carry the body home. Witness said the child's school books and dinner pail were scattered around near the place where the body was found. David B. Boyer testified that was one oC the searching party, and that Tennis had accompanied him to his house and carried the board back to the scene of the murder.

Witness said one could not have been seen five steps in the thicket. AVit ness, in answer to a question of defendant's counsel, said he had never heard Tennis called "Crazy Ben," and never knew he was crazy. Mrs. Sarah Andrews, who lives near Tennis' house, saw the prisoner whitewashing on the morning of the tragedy. It was after the usual household work had been done.

Mrs. Cooper, an a'int of the murdered child, said Tennis had come to their place between 7 and 8 o'clock on the morning of Tuesday, September 19th, to finish some whitewashing. He had come late and explained that he had to get his nine ooy ready lor school. She saw nothing unusual about his appearance. mrs.

iiidna isoyer, a neighbor, told of a message which she had carried to the Wrights from Tennis a few days before the crime about nailing the bars shut, thus compelling the children to pairs his orchard. Witness said Tennis was not regarded as weak minded. George Hoffin, who was cutting corn with Tenni3 on the morning of the prisoner's arrest, told about the moving of Tennis the afternoon of the murder. He asked witness whether he had his revolver. Ttis was before the arrival of the detectives.

Detective Samuel J. Anderson, who was largely instrumental in running down the murderer, gave the details of his investigation. When his arrival at the Wright house the coroner's inquest was being held. There were present District Attorney Detweiler and a score of other persons. He listened to the testimony and subsequently ran out several futile clues.

Last Friday he was in the vicinity and questioned William and another son of the prisoner regarding the movements of their father. They replied that he had gone whitewashing at Cooper's. Witness was led to suspect the prisoner from certain stories as to his general character and was impressed with his guilt. He then described the arrest as it has alrea iy been described in the Telegraph. Witness related how he had drawn from the prisoner a full confession of the crime, with all its ievolting detail.

The outrage and murder occupied but twenty minutes. Detective Harry Roat, who accompanied Detective Anderson when the arrest was made, corroborated the latter as to the arrest and confession. The prisoner had said to him that the devil had come into him when the girl said she would tell her parents and he had then killed her. Witness told how letective Anderson had preached" to the prisoner and induced hirn to confess. County Detective Spitler, who has known lennis for thirty years, related an interview with the prisoner in which Tennis told how he led the little girl into the bushes and accomplished his purpose.

He choked the child in order to overpower her and when she sank down upon the ground he realized that he had committed murder and his conscience had troubled him all day. Witness had never known of insanity in the family. George M. Wanbaugh, of the Patriot, was called and told of an interview in company with Mr. Landis, of the Tele graph, and Mr.

Underwood, ot the Patriot. The prisoner had confessed the murder, he said, and related details. Clarence E. Spayd, of the Independent, also related an interview with the prisoner which was substantially the same as that of the other newspaper men. Mr.

Underwood also related the details of several interviews. This ended the testimony and Judge McPherson announced that sentence would not be pronounced until the testimony has been written out, so that the degree of guilt may be determined Counsel for Tenuis reserve the ri'ht to make application for a commission in lunacy. When the prisoner was returned to the jail a crowd was congregated about the rear entrance, and there were many cries of Hang him Hang him Judge Simonton returned home this morning and sat with Judge McPherson during the taking of the testimony. Sen tence will be susDended a few davsl Detective Harry Roat has a letter addressed to Tennis by a girl of 18, who sends him kisses and indicates her preference for him. SUSQUEHANNA'S MEET.

Frank Lein bach, the Market street cycle man, is chairman ot the race committee. The meet will be held uuder L. A.

W. sanction and rules, and will prob ably be confined to local riders.

Instead of making a tour among the city merchants soliciting contributions the prizes to be contested for at to morrow's races have Been all contributed by club members, who have been working hard for the success of the meet. The list of prizes includes a table, hat, two rugs, umbrella three luggage carrier writing desk, two pairs of opera glasses, ring, pair of shoes, comer cabinet, carpet sweeper, $4 bicycle lamp, two revolvers, box cigars, cyclometer, camera, pneumatic tires, pair of pedals, collar and cuff box, revolver and razor. Fornwaldj the Harrisburg favorite, will be there with his new "Rambler" racer, and other city scor ihers.

C. Tyler made a new world's bicycle record for two miles from a standing start against time at Springfield, yesterday afternoon in 4:15 3 5, which is nine seconds faster than the world's record made by G. E. Osmond in England last August. The time by quarters was .35, 1:05, li37, 2:08 4 5, 2:39, 3:11, 3:43 4 5, 4:15 3 5.

THEY ARE HOT HAPPY. There Couples Want to be Free from Jtfarltal When there comes a time in this life that a divorce court will be unknown, then the demand for harps and horns and the like will exceed the supply, and dealers in and manufacturers of musical instruments will become bloated bondholders. Just at present, however, the indications are not overly promising for such a change at least not in the county of Dauphin. Of the five applications for divorce filed at this session of court the word "desertion" appears in every one. Lizzie Rhan was married to John Charles Hoffman, at Hummelstown, May 30tb, 1891, and the twain lived together until July 22d, 1891, scarcely two mouths, when John left his wife and never went back.

Lizzie filed her application through her father, John It. an, jr. At HummelstowD, April 12th, 1888, John W. Livingstone wedded his wife Nancy. Nancy deserted him at Oberlin, February 30th, 1892.

This is clearly a mistake in date, inasmuch as February cannot have more than 29 days. However, John is positive that Nancy deserted him. Through her next friend, Elizabeth Easterday, Ellen Biddleman comes before the court and wants the marital tie with John J. Biddleman dissolved. She states that she married him November 3d, 1888, and was deserted, July 13th, 1892.

Solomon Bechtel's wife, from whom he desires a divorce, goes by the christian name of "Pennimah." He took Pen uimah to wife March 8th, 1881. They lived near Stoverdale until April when Pennimah left his bed and board. Solomon is a farmer near Stoverdale. James E. Dick, formerly a post office clerk, now a salesman for the Harrisburg casket company, would not object to the dissolvement of the tie binding him to his wife, Hattie M.

Dick. In fact he asks the court to do it for him on the ground that Hattie, to whom he was married in this city January 10th, 1888, deserted him September 25th, 1891. It will be seen by this that James did not tarry long after the two years' period of desertion had elapsed before filing his petition. BIDING ON COACHES. Wealthy Men Who Propose to Travel In that Way.

A coaching route between New York and Philadelphia, after the style of that between London and Brighton, England, is about to be established. The time of the trip is put at nine and one half hours, and the coach going down one day will return the next. It is a very expensive undertaking, but the way must bo interesting and pretty, and there is an enormous travel between the two cities. In England these coaching routes have proved agreat success, and on some of the lines, at least, a good share of the patronage comes from Americans. It is significant that with all the fast express trains that run swiftly and luxuriously between New York and Philadelphia there is believed to have grown up a sufficient leisure class to make so extensive an undertaking profitable.

The coach is the "Meadowbrook, and came from Paris. It cost $3,100, landed in America. Fifty horses will be required, as there will be a relay about every eight miles, and two men will be needed to each relay. The fares to be charged are $15 one way, or $25 for the round trip, with $5 extra for a box seat. Exclusive of whip and guards, the coach will carry twelve passengers, and it is proposed to run it, rain or shine.

The trips will probably commence early in the fall, and the prime movers in the plan are rich men, who promised not to be easily discouraged. They propose to furnish old fashioned coaching with modern improvements. But this sort of thing can never rival, in romantic interest, the stage coaching of former times, which figures so conspicuously in Dickens' works and the stories of early American authors. University Extension. During the past two weeks there has been a quiet canvass by the friends of the University Extension movement in this city looking towards the organization of this winter's lectures.

To morrow afternoon there will be a meeting of the executive committeee, the officers and friends of the movement at Chestnut street school building at 4 o'clock to hear the result of the cauvass. He Will Locate Here. Dr. Walmer, of Philadelphia, a nephew of Mrs. Margaret O.

Calder, Walnut and Thirteenth streets, wedded Miss Ida Rice, a daughter of Rev. William Rice, a Church of God minister, of Philadelphia, last Tuesday at noon at the residence of the bride's patents. Dr. Walmer will soon locate in this city, it is said. Manager Toley Gets Tennis' Clothes.

J. G. Foley, manager of the Eden Musee, has secured from Tennis, the murderer, the suit which he wore when he committed the crime. He gave Tennis a new suit in exchange yesterday. Aa Old Alan Drops Dead.

Charles McClain, a well known old man of Cumberland county, dropped dead this morning near the Cumberland Valley station at Bridgeport. He was on his way to work at McCormick's quarries, a short distance below the station. Several children survive. Fishtlng the Election Repeal Bill. Washington, Sept.

29. After routine business the House resumed consideration of the federal election repeal bill, and Mr. Lacey Iowa, spoke against it. OUR WASHINGTON SPECIAL. There Will he 3fo Compromise on the Sliver Question.

Washington, Sept. 29. There is very pronounced compiomise talk in the Senate on the silver repeal struggle, but little prospect of any agreement. Secretary Carlisle said to the corresdondent cf the Telegraph to day: "If the silver men expect a proposition of compromise from the President or myself they will be disappointed as we have none to make. Such a move should come from then we can decide whether it can be accepted or not.

The fact is they are so excessive in their demands that compromise seems out of the question. They wish a continuance of silver purchases and the Government has now on hand an enormous supply." The Secretary is not very sanguine of anything satisfactorily being reached. As the Committee on Ways and Means do not propose to pay any attention to the statements of the manufacturers in the preparation of their revenue only tariff bill there is now considerable discussion among the Representatives of manufacturing constituencies as to the feasibility of defeating their bill in the House. This might be possible but not probable. Under the leadership of S.

J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, the Wood and Morrison bills were successfully antagonized but then the Democratic majority was smaller. The numerical strength of parties in the House is: Democrats, 220; Republicans, 127; Populists, 9. Total, 35G. It would therefore take 53 Democratic votes to give a Protection majority.

If the Htates of West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Alabama and Georgia, which cast 50 votes in the House, could be united with the northern votes of the majority, the tariff reform bill reported by the committee might be modified. The most serious question in such a contest' would be that of leadership. There is wh' re thi conservative sentiment of the House, if any exists, will in all probability be permitted to go by default. There is not a member of the majority, as far as now known, would be likely to have the courage if he ha the ability to lead in such a conflict. An opposition, however, to the bill will be easier organized in the Senate, as men like Gorman, Brill and McPherson are not likely to permit the industries of their States to be sacrificed to any crude or theoretic notions of tariff reform legislation.

A fierce colliery fire is raging at the Boston Run working of the Heading company, located near St. Nicholas, in the Mahanoy Valley. One of the principal veins worked at this colliery outcrops on the mountain side, and several months ago while mountain fires were raging near by, some timber, which had fallen across the outcropping, burned with the brush, and in this way fired the coal unknown to the colliery employes. This has been burning its way gradually to the main workings of the mine, and the company have a veritable volcano on their hands to contend with. The officials took prompt steps, however; a3 soon as the fire was discovered, a few days ago, and expect to have it extinguished in a day or two.

The matter has been kept quiet by the company, and very few employes knew until last evening that the mine in which they were working was on fire. This colliery owLed and operated by the Philadelphia and Reading coal and iron company, and is one of the important plants among that company's possessions. Upwards of 500 men and boys are employed. The workings are very deep.and if the fire gets a good start on the veins it would prove very disastrous.

THE T1H PLATE INDUSTRY. Col. Ayer's Annual Report Interesting to Democrats. Washington, Sept. 23.

The annual report of of Col. Ira Ayer, the special agent of the Treasury who has charge of the tin plate statistics, was made public to day and was anything except pleasant reading to the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin, who is assisting Chairman Wilson to get up the tariff reform bill, admitted after reading Colonel Ayer's report that the growth of. the tin plate industry in the United State was a surprise to him. Colonel Ayer shows in lm report that during the last fiscal year tin and terne platts to the quantity of 52,403,402 pounds were manufactured wholly in the United States.

More than 15 per cent, of tin and terne plates were of American manufacture. The amount of American sheet iron and steel made into articles and wares tinned or terued plated during ihe past fiscal year was 8,802,681 pnunds. The quantity of tin end terne plate imported and entered for immediate consumption during fiscal year aggregated 611,949,980 pounds. The quantity of the above plate on which duties was paid and which were used in the manufacture of articles exported with benefit of drawback was 128,863,227 pounds. The total consumption of tin and terne plate for the fiscal year was 720,000,000 pound.

Figures are given to show that "the product from American plates was about five eighths of the amount necessary to enable manufacturers to meet the one third requirement under the law which provides that during any one yeer of the term of five years the domestic produeiion of tin plate must equal one third the importations during any one of such years otherwise the duty on tin plate will be abolished. The figures show an increased production over the previous fiscal year of 80, 173,483 pounds. During the last quarter ended June 30th, 39,543,587 pounds tin and terne plates proper, against pounds to previous quarter. The firms manufacturing plate increased two, be ng now thirty five The amount of American sheet iron ami steel tinned was 2,322,455 pouods, making the azgreate 41,806,042 pounds. Since the Democrats have made it clear that they intend to revise the tariff and take off the protection on tin plate there has been a check to the growth of the industry.

But the American consumption is still increasing. E. Moorewood who employ 3,000 persons in the production of tin plate in South Walts, have established works at Port Elizabeth and Indianapolis, in have given notice that they will close their works in Wales for the present. A gentleman connected with this firm recently informed a member of Congress that the works in South Wales would be permanently closed if there were no reduction in the American tariff, but that if the tariff was restored to the old rate that they would close up their American works.
