Harrisburg Telegraph from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania • Page 1

VOL. NO. 7. ESTABLISHED 1831. HARRISBURG, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1897.

Gossip's 1 41 Column. 6 9 Kindest regards of Harrisburg to the Altoona. Tribune, which, in discussing the question of a United States Government building in Altoona, says that Harrisburg got its Government building "not because so much of its progressiveness as because it was the capital of the State by virtue of John Harris founding it and the Legislature being swamped there ever since." A diagram should go with, the above, but we presume the Tribune is out of diagrams and its readers will have to guess what it means. The Tribune should not criticise Harrisburg "not because so much of" its not being good form "as because" its own city could not exist a month if the Pennsylvania Railroad shops were remov ed from Altoona. That's all.

The "Telegraph" to morrow will begin the publication of a series of International Sunday School Lessons by Rev. wis W. Clark, of Covington, Ivy. Upv. irds of 20,000,000 persons are now following international Bible lessons, and secular papers in increasing numbers are giving space to comments and thus gratifying this immense constituency.

Rev. Davis W. Clark in preparing his notes has had advantages of extended travel and study abroad and live years' practical experience. Bishop Vincent says of his lesson notes: "Practical, rich iu material, ingenious in method; show natural tact, ample resource, patient investigation." Bishop Hurst says: "Models of compact and strong interpretation; full of learning." There are many other testimonials of the worth of these lesson notes, the first of which the "Telegraph" will print to morrow. In Kansas City, beginning to day, the man who spits on a street car floor will be liable to a fine of twenty dollars, under the new Board of Health rales, and the man who is fined will get just what he deserves.

Spitting on the street car floor is very little practiced in Harrisburg, yet there are some men who do it. As a general rule the printed and posted request of the company not to spit on the floor is heeded, and the man who spits on the floor surprises the ethers in the car. The other day on one of the cars a boorish fellow who was chewing tobacco kept spitting incessantly on the floor while the conductor's back was turned, until finally a lady opposite him, leaned over and said: "If you have to spit, 1 wish you would spit out of the window, and then we will not have to drag our skirts through the mess." The fellow conid hardly believe his own ears, but the spotting ceased right there And the National Guard of Pennsylvania is to be taken to Washington after all, despite General Gobin's vigorous protest. Some of the Washington people, who read Gobin's lurid language, have already began to call members of the Guard rowdies and loafers, and there is no doubt that they will supplement this calling of names with the most outrageous treatment of the men. Gossip trusts that if any of the Harrisburg men are treated badly they will at once report it, and that every instance of mistreatment will be made public.

What a funny cat and dog time the Short Hair and Swallow Tail factions of the Harrisburg Democracy are having. The Short Hairs went with the Popo crats and supported free silver, while the Swallow Tails stood by gold and honest money generally and voted either for Palmer or for McKinley straight, they did not care so the Boy Orator and his crazy theories were knocked out. This is the root of the trouble. Now the Short Hairs have read the Swallow Tails out of the party and refuse to permit them to participate in the party councils or to have place on the tickets that are being printed for the primary elections. This matter will not be local to Harrisburg.

It will come up all over the State, and even now is agitating the Philadelphia Popocrats and in time will agitate the Allegheny Pops. Of course the courts will have the last say in the matter, but in the meantime the cat and dog time will go on. Fire Chief Garverich begins well. He secured positive evidence that a fire company had not only refused to obey orders from the assistant but che members were drunk, and he sent the company home. Such vigorous action on the part of the Chief will go far to restore and maintain discipline, apd every good citizen will up any fire company in this town to defy authority and appear at a fire intoxicated.

That sort of thing will hurt the volunteer department more than anything else. Patty Cake.

The electoral college of Pennsylvania will meet at the Capitol on Monday at noon and the gentJemn chosen to carry out the will of the pec pie as expressed at the polls in November will come together for that purpose.

Wilson M. Gearhart, Chief Clerk of the State Department, has been busily engaged for several days getting the returns and other papers in shape so that the electors may quickly dispose of the duties which devolve upon them. Small cards have been prepared for each elector containing the name of William McKinley. Four years ago when the college met here the usual clerks and as sitants were elected, but under a ruling by Auditor General Gregg they received no compensation. He held that there was nothing in the law which allowed such compensation.

There was also a big cut in the expense account of the electors. Much complaint followed, but the Auditor General was obdurate and stood by his construction of the law. Before the Legislature adjourned he had a little bill prepared fixing the compensation of the members of the college at three dollars a day and for all time actually occupied iii the work of the college, and three cents a mile mileage each way as traveling expenses. One hundred dollars is allowed for incidental expenses, including printing and other necessary work. There is considerable comment at the Capitol on What is termed cheese paring with respect to this amendment.

Those who criticise the act say that the electors of the great State of Pennsylvania called on to perform this service once every four years should be paid as much mileage as the constables in their service on the courts. Miss M. V. Rhone, daughter of Hon. Leonard Rhone, who now holds a position in the Department of Agriculture, Harrisburg.

Miss Rhone is gathering these statistics for Dr. Warren, State Zoologist.

Rupo. attorney for a num ber of the heirs, asked the Court this morning for an order of sale of the real estate of the late Emeline Rauch, late of the Ihird ward, this city, for the nav ment of debts, which he stated amounted to S2.197.yi. Messrs. Neiffcr. Nead and three other heirs, objected to the granting of the order on the ground that it was unnecessary for the purpose stated, and that Administrator William H.

Jones had not yet field his ac count. Judge Simonton sustained their objection, informing Mr. Rupn that he couldn't legally grant the order under the circumstances. He said that the proper thing to do would be to have the admin istrator file his account at an early date, and then he would appoint an auditor to distribute the balance among the eight or ten neirs scattered over the countrv. Airs.

Rauch died September 16th. 189G. and her husband followed her October 1st last. The estate will foot up about $20. 000, it is said, including the property No.

422 Market street, appraised at $11,000, nd a property on North Third street near orster, appraised at Mr. Neiffer stated that under partition proceedings the real estate could not be sold before next summer, when better prices could be obtained than at the present time. Want a Farm Sale Set Aside. Upon motion of William F. Hain.

representing David H. Ric ker and Henri etta Fisher, two of the Simon ton awarded a citation on Mary Ricker. Daniel M. Ricker et this morning, requiring them to show cause why the sale ot tne old Oeorge hnoop farm of over 135 acres, near Shoop's Church, as part of the estate of the late John A. Ricker, of Swatara township, to Daniel Ricker for $ib per acre, should not be set aside, and a new order of sale granted.

The petitioners set forth that they are willing to bid $85 and more per acre, if necessary, for the farm, which they allege was appraised at $105 per acre. The price they would be willing to bid is over 81,200 more than, the price for which it was sold at the last sale. A bid of per acre for the farm was given at the first sale. The petitioners say that the sale of the farm for $76 per acre was against their expressed objections. Gets Interest From 1892.

Judge Simonton handed down an opinion this morning in the case stated brought by Peter G. Baptist, of No. 419 Walnut street, against the Citizens' Passenger Railway Company, to determine the time from which the defendant corporation should pay interest on $30.31, the amount paid to Baptist as compensation for the tearing up of the asphalt block paving in front of that gentleman's property, and the laying of tracks thereon. It was expressly agreed at the time the street railway company occupied the street with its tracks, June 6th, 1802, that is should reimburse the property owners along that thoroughfare for the cost of paving between the tracks and nine inches on either side. In his opinion the Court says: "The defendant" neglected to pay the interest, and cannot now compensate the property owners without paying interest from the date when it became bound to pay the principal.

It was not the duty of the plaintiff to make a demand but the duty of the defendant to tender payment. Therefore the plaintiff is entitled to interest from June 6th, 1802, and judgment is directed to be entered against the defendant for $7.88 with costs." Odds and Ends of Court. Judge Mc Pherson was in Philadelphia to day. In the matter of Kate Shadel vs J. C.

and John Stroup, motion to strike off judgment, the rule granted on defendants was made absolute. Judirment was reversed in the matter of the ten exceptions filed by H. G. Her eelroth. of Middletown.

against the legal ity of the action of Justice Irwin, of that town, in granting an attaenmeur. in me sum of $75 against Hergelroth in favor of Mr. and airs, i'hiiip isner. Jiie exception was that the debt being less than SlOO was not amenable to attachment. David Snyder, guardian ot the minor children of Frank Shadle, late of Washington township, was granted permission to join in the making ot a deed tor tne sale of the real estate or the deceased.

conditioned upon his filing sufficient bond. Snyder's wards are entitled to one half of the amount realized from the sale of the property. SPORTING MATTERS.

His Opposition Was on the Ground of Time Consumed by Business Men Who Are Members of the Guard at the Inaugural Ceremonies. General Hastings was interviewed at the Executive Department this afternoon by a "Telegraph" man on the proposed trip of the National Guard to Washington on the occasion of the inauguration of the President elect.

He said: "Shortly after election. Adjutant Gen eral Stewart called upon me with reference to the National Guard participating in the inaugural ceremonies at wasning to on the 4th of March next. I then expressed to him that my judgment was against tueir panicipauou iu iue monies. The grounds of my objections were two fold the expense and the per sonal inconvenience to the omeers ana men. 1 telt that tne coming inauguration would furnish an opportunity to break the custom of taking the whole Guard to the inauguration.

Beginning witn oar field's the Guard has attended every in auguration since. Four years ago it was thought that to break tne rule to attend the inauguration of President Cleveland might be misunderstood upon political erounds. and my thought was that no such criticism could be placed ujion us at the coming inauguration, because fenn svlvania's voice in the last election was so i 1 1 empnatic mat tresiaeni eieci ivic.iY.uicy would not construe their failure to be present as in any sense an indignity." "Heretofore there has been great inconvenience and personal disadvantage to many of the othcers ana men in giv ing up the most of a week to attend tne inaugural ceremonies. Jn every instance the railroads of the Stale have transported the Guard to Washington and return without charge, while every member voluntarily subsisted himself. Quarters wrere usually provided by the inaugural committee and the troops have been gen erally quartered in the halls and passages of the public buildings or in vacant houses.

There is no State fund applicable to the payment of the expenses. If the troops so to the inauguration, it will be an entirely voluntary act upon their part, and will be conditioned upon obtaining free transportation from the railroads and wilineiness of the officers and men to co and subsist themselves. The AdjutantGen erai mtorms me that he has received a large number of communications from the officers of the Guard urging that they be permitted to go, and about a month since he set on foot a systematic inquiry to ascertain the sentiment in regard to at tending the inauguration. He reports that from the information he has received fully ninety per cent, of the officers and men are anxious to attend. The principal argument used is that the person el of the Guard changes from year to year, so that there are now according to his estimate at least seventy five per cent, of the men and thirty per cent, of the officers who have never witnessed an inauguration of the President of the United States, and that this fact is largely the cause of the desire to go.

My ludgment has been opposed to the Guard going to the inauguration from the first, but I do not wish to place myself in opposition to the desires of the Guard. I am not willing that any expense lie incur red by the State in this behalf. No order has been issued commanding the Guard to attend the inauguration and no order will be issued. The invitation extended by the inaugural committee has not as yet been accepted by me. No definite ar rangements have been made that I know of for the movement of the troops or for their quartering in ashington, but the Adjutant General informs me that some of the brigade quartermasters and other officers have gone voluntarily to Washing ton to make arrangements for their indi vidual commands and that in some in stances brigade and regimental command ers have made their arrangements for quarters and horses.

The Guard will not attend the inauguration unless there is a practically unanimous sentiment among them favoring it and unless the troops are willing to subsist themselves and to put up with the quarters which may be assigned to them by the inaumrration committee and unless the railroads are willing to pay them the compliment of transporting them to Washington and return free of charge. When the Pennsylvania division of the National Guard parades in Washington, it fills Pennsylvania avenue almost from tbe Capito Ito the White House and their sol id, compact, business like, soldierly ap pearance, while it may occasionally excite language ot envy and criticism from some people, has uniformly been received with QUAY AS CHIEF WITNESS. Warrants Said to Have Been Issued for Senator Coy le and Whltehonae. The Pittsburg Times says: It is said that warrants have been issued for W. J.

Whitehouse, of Pottsville. and Senator J. J. Coyle. of the lhirtietu district.

Schuvlkill county, charging them with at tempting to brilie Representative Thomas M. Powell, of Luzerne county. A subpoena has also been issued summoning United States Senator M. S. Uuay, and other well known iwliticians, to appear liefore Justice Conrad, of Pottsville, and tell what they know concerning the matter.

A dispatch from Pottsville says that Justice Conrad refuses to state whether or not any warrants were issued by mm for Co vie and hitenouse. ur. x. ai. Powell, the Representative said to have been approached by the persons named in the warrants, wnen seen at nis iiome iu Hazleton yesterday, said: I have not spoken a dozen words to hitehouse in my life.

My acquaintance with Coyle is no more laminar. 1 saw tnem at nar risburg, but neither approached me. I regard the report as a bluff." E. A. Van Valkenburg and other managers of the Wanamaker campaign have gone home and the foregoing story cannot be verified.

It is known, however, that certain warrants were in the hands of the anti Quay people, and that they would have been served if there had been any further arrests by the other side. Van Valkenburg will insist upon the case against him going to trial and said before he left the city yesterday that he would compel his accusers to give bonds for a prosecution of the case. He is still indignant over his arrest and will not consent to any suppression of the suit. He is after vindication and will demand it in the Schuylkill county courts, he says.

As the "Telegraph" stated some time ago the Sisters of Mercy will establish a non sectarian hospital in the present Kecley Institute at Fourth and North streets, having concluded a long term lease with James Russ, the owner of the building. The building, which is well adapted for the purpose intended, will not be ready as a hospital lwfore March 1st. Next week the Keeley Institute will be removed to the three story brick building at North and Capitol streets.

There have been some instances of ill usage and bad treatment of our troops and because there are so many of them they are sometimes blamed without cause for breaches of etiquette.

The treatment by those in charge of the ceremonies has been uniformly courteous and thoughtful. Our National Guard is a purely volunteer organization. Every effort of mobilization is to their advantage. While they are in camp they are subject to restraint equal to that imposed in the regular service. Such a trip as that to Washington is looked upon by them in the nature of an outing or a few days of recreation.which the rank and file enjoy very much more than the officers, who have had plenty of such expedience." Congressmen Endorse Gen.

Gobin. Several Pennsylvania Congressmen were interviewed at Washington with reference to General J. P. S. Gobin's criticism of the proposed National Guard trip on the occasion of the inaugural ceremonies.

Congressman W. A. Stone said General Gobin was undoubtedly right. "The National Guard of Pennsylvania ought not to be ordered here to the inaug uration under the plan that has been in vogue in the past. We have the finest National Guard in the whole country.

That is conceded by every one. They are ever ready to respond to the call of duty and always give a good account of The 9,000 men comprising the National Guard are either engaged in business for themselves or are employed by others. To order them here at the loss of time and then make them pay their own expenses is bad enough, but it is worse when they are subject to the abuse and villification that has been their lot in times past. I trust that the Guard will not be ordered here, especially as it seems the members don't desire to come." Representative Dalzell said: "No good purpose can be accomplished by ordering the Guard here. The members are all business men and will lose that much valuable time from their business if they are ordered here, and it does not seem right to ask them to come her and pay their own expenses.

Besides they probably were not treated right when they were here in times past. We know the members of our National Guard, and also know that they are not the characters wnich they have been alleged to be in times past." Itlembers of I he Inaugural Committee are Evidently Warm. Adjutant General Stewart is arranging for the participation of the entire division of the National Guard in the inaugural ceremonies at Washington. A dispatch jm the National Capital says: "The members of the executive committee on inauguration ceremonies were indignant to day over a Harrisburg dispatch published in a Philadelphia paper, giving an interview wth Senator Gobin, of Lebanon, commanding the Third brigade of the Pennsylvania National Guard. General Gobin is quoted as opposed to taking the National Guard to Washington, because at previous inaugurations they have been imposed upon by storekeepers and hotel keepers here, who charge them extortionate prices for everything.

Chairman Bell, after reading the interview, said: 4It is most unjust, and the Pennsylvaaians are the first and only ones to "Other members of the executive committee were very severe in their criticism of the interview, and one of them even went so far as to declare that the Pennsylvania militiamen who came here 'are many of them tough and quarrelsome fellows, who get drunk and engage in tights on every street 'The Pennsylvania National Guard should lie the last organization to com plain of bad treatment in Washington, said another committeeman, 'for thi city has been very lenient in the past in overlooking the disgraceful rowdyism indulged in by many of its members while here at inauguration. "None of the committeemen, when ask ed to do so, could mention any particular instance of rowdyism, and one man admitted that Pennsylvania's soldiers were as well Iiehaved as any of those from the other States. All the committeemen united in denying General Gobin's charge that the Washington shopkeepers and ho tel men had been guilty of extortion.

There's more trouble within the ranks of the local Democracy over the efforts of the Fritchey faction to gain control of the City Committee and the courts have again been invoked to straighten out the muss.

When the matter was called at 2 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Nead, attorney for Chairman Stucker. moved to auash the writ upon the ground that it was directed against the wrong party as defendant; that it is an effort to enforce the performance of a discretionary act on the part of an individual; and to compel the performance of an act by an incorporated body to enforce a private right, if it be held that the writ is directed against the Democratic City Committee through its chairman; that if it be held that the writ is not directed against the committee it must then virtually be directed against a private individual, and wll not lie. Judge Simonton announced mat ne would hear the testimony of the three plaintiffs concerning their registration and dispose of the entire matter at once. Ex Chief of Police ivautz stated mat ne had taken the registration fees of himself and Messrs.

Becker and Shartzer to the house of William MeQuaid last 1 nday and that the latter had accepted the money, but subsequently MeQuaid came to his house on Sunday and wanted to re turn the money, stating that Chairman Stucker would not receive their money and fees until they made affidavit before the proper official that they had supported the head of the Democratic ticket at the last previous election. Mr. Becker testified that Chairman Stucker informed him that he (Stucker) had no objection to him (Becker), but would require him "to make affidavit about having supported the head of the ticket." He knew of no such rule of the committee up until his retirement from the eommittete last March. Chairman Stucker denied that he had received the names or fees of the plaintiffs from MeQuaid or had said that affi davits would be required. On cross ex amination he said he didnt think he had a conversation with Mctfuaid before the latter called on Ivautz.

The committee rules were up for an air ing and after more testimony the Court took the papers and said he would give his decision later in the day. the question or jurisdiction being the most important. Democratic City Committee Row. Last night the Democratic City Com mittee held a meeting to consider the make up of the tickets for to morrow night's primaries. Charles D.

Stucker, the chairman, and Alderman Charles Walter were the chief figures in the lively debates of the evening. Mr. ltzgerald questioned the right of the Alderman to take nart in the proceedings, but the dis penser of justice in the Eighth ward sprang a proxy from llarry Emanuel. "That goes," said he, but the Chair thought otherwise. Theie was great con fusion for awhile and several motions to adjourn.

During the proceedings Chair man Stucker threatened to nave Alderman Walter thrown out. but the Alder man said he couldn't. There was a lively time when duplicate lists of committee men were presented and the din was so great that the Chair was not able to hear the resounding whacks of his own gavel. George Washington Straw shouted for order "in the name of Democracy." but a member of the committee yelled rats and another member who wanted order restored was told to "go outside and get it." Chairman Stucker suggested that he would resign if the members thought he was not trying to be fair, whereupon Alderman Walter said "get out then." The Chairman then started to leave, but was induced to return. Then the meet ing broke up and the factions bustled into the street.

THEATEN TO KILL A MANAGER Rush for a Mine bnt Were Headed Off by Offleers. SAD CONDITION OF AFFAIRS Ottawa, I1L, Jan. 8. The mining trouble at Rutland Village, which was reported settled, broke out afresh and with greater violence yesterday afternoon, rioting being almost continuous in the day and all of the evening. Sheriff Yockey swore in Lieut.

Harden and sixteen picked men of Company as special deputies, armed hem with repeating rifles and sent them on the first train. The miners, who number over 1,000, have been on strike against the alleged unjust weights for nearly two months, and are in a starving condition. They threatened damage on Tuesday, but were pacified with promises of settlement by Manager Hakes, which were not fulfilled. They again threatened riot Wednesday, but were put off by promise of settlement yesterday. This again failed and several hundred of them visited saloons and filled up on whisky.

In a state of intoxication they became unmanageable and made a rush for the mine. being prevented only by the determination of the village president and deputy sher ms under Matt cjoulson, the bead deputy. The miners threatened to burn the offices and shaft of the company and murder Manager Hakes and his clerks, who are keeping under cover. Deputies are guard ing the Hakes residence. Rutland is a vil lage of fifteen hundred people on the Illi nois (Jentral Road, in the Panhandle of Lasalle county, just across the line from Woodford county.

The population depends wholly upon the mines for support and since the opening of the strike have been in a destitute condition. The merchants have either left town or are too poor to move and the scene as viewed to day is one of desolation and misery. All of the miners in the district which embraces Streater. Lasalle and Spring Valley have passed resolutions of sympathy, and sent money and food to the strikers.
