THIRD NATIONAL BANK. That Hood's Sarsaparilla does possess curative power Peculiar to Itself, is conclusively shown by the wonderful cures it has effected, unsurpassed iu the history of medicine. This absolute merit it possesses by reason of the fact that it is prepared by a Combination, Proportion and Process Peculiar to Hood's Sarsaparilla, known to no other medicine, and by which the full medicinal power of all the ingredients used is secured.

The Society ol the Order of Gibraltar, of which General James Stewart is Supreme President, has gone Into voluntary liquidation and will pay back to Its members the money roceived as dues. The order has a membership of 3,000 persons, and Its plan Is to pay $100 In one year on weekly assessments of $1.

The fact that the Annual Benefit Socloty is now in trouble has scared the Glbraltarltes into going out of business. Tho management of the order Is as follows: Vice president, Frank W. Griffin treasurer, Edward E. Davis; secretary, David H. Garrett, and supreme manager, C.

J. Rawlins. The Earnest Workers of this city have now about $112,000 to divide between them after paying all expenses, which sum will pass under the eye of an auditor after Assignee Shakespeare has done his work.

Lawyer Stevenson, the assignee for the Ill Monthly, has some $07,000, and Receiver Montgomery, of the Universal Order of Co operation, has about $40,000, all of which sums are awaiting the action of the courts.

It was learned, however, that tho orders In the League are the Beneficial Loan Society, tho Advance, the Order of Gibraltar, nnd tho Order of the Fraternal Guardians. The officers of the order, it was learned, are: Dr.

Leuf, president, and F. O. Butler, of the Advance Society, socretary and treasurer. Resolutions wero passed denouncing the attack an the Annual Benefit Socloty, and stating "That the fraternal organizations here assembled, represent the principles of the fraternal organizations incorporated in this Slate, which have never failed to meet a stngle obligation, having faithfully kept all their pledges to their members, accumulating steadily growing reserve fund for the protection of later members, being perfectly solvent, and able to meet all liabilities nowdue or that may arise, being representative bodies and having an aggregate membership of over members In this State, most of whom are working people, heads ot families nnd voters, do denounce the said attack upon the Annual Bonent Older, and through it tho attack upon all legitimate fraternal organizations, as contemptible in its motive, and inspired by a few disaffected members, against the interests of the thousands of members in beneficial orders, and generated by a desiro for private gain and aggrandizement and public notoriety and political effect; and "That those fraternal organizations, In assembly met, do hereby constitute themselves 'The Fraternal Protective for the purposes of prompting, upholding and defending the principles of fraternal co operation, as represented In the different bodies hereby associated, and such other bodies as may subsequently become members thereof, and to bean alliance, offensive and defensive, mutual and protective, to tlie furtherance of which ends we now hereby solemnly bind and pledge ourselves and our respective organizations to the utmost of our resources, power and ability."

The Principal Witness Against the Jury Bribers Arrested. St. Lours, May 29. Leone Burthe, the principal, and in fact the only witness against the jury bribers in the case growing out of the Mafia trials in New Orleans, was arrested in East St. Louis, this afternoon, and Is now in Jail in that city.

When seen by a reporter, Mr. Burthe said: "When the Hennessey murder caso was called I was drawn on the panel. Before I was examined and rejected F. Armant approached me and said that I would get $1,000 if I got on the Inryand found the Italians not guilty. I told him I could do nothing of tne kind.

Arter the trial tola l'urkin son and afterward communicated to himthe fact that Edgar White, the Deputy had threatened tokillmclf Itestitledagalnst his friend Armant. Yes, I was afraid and left New Orleans and got $1,000," but he seemed to realize that ho was telling too much and in the very next breath said he left New Orleans of his own free will and accord. "if I testify against these two men It will be because I am compelled to, as they have families and I do not want to send them to the penitentiary. There was no reason for my leaving New Orleans except to save these two men from penal servitude." It is not known whether he will go back without requisition papers. Theonlycharges on which ho can betaken back are contempt of court or compounding a felony.

The Czar and the Dead Soldier. Unarmed and unattended walked the Czar Through Moscow's busy streets one wintry day; The crowd uncovered, as his face they saw; God greet the Czar said they. Along his path there moved a funeral, Gray spectacle of poverty and woe; A wretched sledge, dragged by one weary man Slowly across the snow. And on the sledge, blown by the wintry wind, Lay a poor cofiln, very rude and bare; And'he who drew it bent beneath his load With dull and sullen ulr. The Emperor stopped and beckoned to the man "Who is't thou bearest to the grave?" he said.

Only a soldier, si re," the short reply, Only a soldier "Only asoldler," musing said the Czar, Only a Russian, who was poor and brave. Move on, I follow; such a one goes not Unbonored to the grave." He bent, his head and reverent raised his cap, The Czar of all the Russlas, pacing slow, Following the eofflu as again it went Slowly across the snow. The passers In the street all wondering, Looked on the sight, then followed silently; Peasant and prince and artisan and clerk, All in one company. Still as they went the crowd grew evermore, Till thousands stood around the friendless crnvn. Led by that princely heart who, royal, true, ilouoreu the poor out nrave.

Jioaton Evening Transcript. PARNELL AND MRS. 0'SHEA It is Now Regarded as Certain That the Kx Irlah Leader Will Marry the Divorced Wife of His One Tims Friend in June Mr. Gladstone and the Jewish Persecutions. (Copyright 1891 by the New York Associated Press.) London, May 29.

A measure of the Importance of tho Bohr ing Sea bill is raroly read the first time in the Houso of Commons without the Minis tors affording the Houso fuller particulars than they vouchsafed to day regarding its provisions. The members listened with strained attention to Mr. Smith, expecting to learn the terms of the agreement with the Washington government, and great was their disappointment when he stopped short after uttering the formal request for permission to bring in a bill to enable the Queen, by an order in council, to make a special provision to prohibit the catching of seals in Behring Sea by her Majesty's subjects during a period named in the order. Questions put to iMnisters in the lobby elicited nothing beyond the statement that they are awaiting the final responses from Washington. Mr.

Smith has only vouchsafed the assurance that the arrangement already secured harmonizes the action of tho British Government with that of the American Government. Other Ministerial members express themselves as certain that the measure will meet with no adverse criticism in the House or in the country or that it will lead to a settlement of the dispute. Though the period of prohibition is understood to be one year, the elastic nature of an orderin council will empower the government to make a further extension. FABXELL TO WED MRS. O'SHEA.

The ramellites hear that their chief will wed Mrs. O'Shea before the Registrar about the middle of Juno. It is not true that her daughters will remain with her. Captain O'Shea controls the family. His son Gerald is about to be gazetted to a commission in tho army.

Captain O'Sbea does not in the meantime prohibit intercourse between tho mother and the daughters. They reside only three miles apart at Brighton, and the captain permits the daughters to visit their mother frequently, but after her marriage with Parncll is effected all relations will cease. Mr. Gladstone's suggestions towards remedying the persecution of the Russian Jews strongly disappoints the community. His letter on the subject ignores the fact that the Russo Jewish committee has already taken the exact course he suggested.

At a meeting of Chovcvei Zionists tho speakers do clared that facts were known which justified the action of the European governments; that a crisis had been reached and that time was precious. Lord Rothschild has presented a memorial to Lord Salisbury asking the British government to initiate concerted action by the powers to assist a wholesale emigration of Jews to Palestine. The Rothschilds, the Goldsmids and all the leading Jews of England concur in the opinion that the settlement of the Jews in Palestine is tho best plan. They aim to obtain European recognition of a great wave of emigration as necessary to the solution of the Jewish problem. m'cokmick's appointment.

The appointment of Mr. McCormick as representative in England of the Columbian Exhibition greatly satisfies the friends of the Chicago Fair hero, who havo hitherto been at work in tho dark. Mr. McCormick will not resign his post as second secretary of the United States Legation until the middle of July, when lie assumes the duties of commissioner to the fair. His popularity and the many influential friends ho made during his two years' Tesideuce hero will prove available aids in the work of the commission.

His retirement from tho United States Legation is regretted by the American colony and by the Diplomatic Corns generally. Mr. Gladstone is obliged to stay at Ha warden for another fortnight, his recent ill ness having left traces in his lungs of a bad cough. Labor Is Sweet. From the New York World.

There were five hard looking men seated on a bench In City Hall Park yesterday, and while four of them were asleep the fifth sat looking nt his own toos. By and by along came a man who halted to ask: "Do any of you men want work?" What's the pay?" asked the fifth, after a long silence. Why, I'll give a dollar and a half a day." "What's the work?" "Digging a cellar." "1 don't want it." "Don't any of the rest want a Job "I think not but if you'll make the pay $2 a nay and tne work picking strawberries I'll take the chances of waking them up." A Grand Opportunity. From the New York World. It was In Ludlow street, the other day, that a gamin about ten years old was heard calling: "Jimmy! Jimmy! Oh, there, Jimmy What's de racket?" queried Jimmy from a third story window.

"Git yer brutherKam, and git yer bruther mil, and git yer sister iuaryana git all de kids yer can and hurry up "What fur?" "'Cause a banana peddler out here has bin tookeu sick and fell down, and dere's deaw fullest chance to git away wld a good thing we ii ever nave in an uis worm. Laying It Onto Dad. From the New York World. A boy about twelve years old hung around tho entrance of tho bridge so long, the other day, that an officer Anally walked up to him and asked "Areyou waiting here for some one?" Yes." "Who is It?" "Dad. I lost him way up here about two miles." "And can't you find the place where you last saw him 1 guess I could, but I shan't try.

It's dad who's lost, and I'll let hi ni do the hunting." Too Many Traders. From the New York Continent. There are too many Traders In Worcester county, whatever maybe the state of trade there. The Sheri trot that county was ordered to pay $2.05 to James Trader, and he paid it, but paid it to the wrong James Trader. A warrant was then issued for the man who hod wrongfully taken the money, aud a third James Trader was arrested.

This third and wholly Innocent Trader sued the Sheriff for damages, and yesterday a jury gave him a verdict for 8RI5 and costs. It Was Sacred. 1 From Brooklyn Life. First Baggage Bmasher (wildly). "Here, hold on there, Bill.

What does she do then Indeed, Her proceedings seem quite queer, For again In gentle tones She asks: Do you love me, dear?" Love her? Why.of course.Ido! I am never slow to tell All my passion, and I'm sure She must know I love her well; And I'm quite sure, too, she asks Not because she doubts, you know.

ADVANCES TO CONTRACTORS The City Treasurer Furnished Money at Insurious Kates for the Carrying On of City Work lie Was Interested in a Quarry That Furnished Stone for Macadamizing the City's Suburban Streets. Glendinning Co.

Borrowed Money From the Treasurer and Owed Him Over a naif Million Dollars at a Time. How Ills Agent, Doerr, Bandied the Cash Which linrdsley Supplied for City Contractors to Pay Their Men An Ao coramodntlng Contractor's Employe on the Spring Garden Street Faving Job, City Treasurer Bardsley's interest In city contracts was laid plainly before Councils' in vestigating committee yesterday afternoon, when William A. Nestor, whose name has been frequently mentioned at the sessions of the committee, was put on the stand. He was a very willing witness and answered clearly all queries put to him. Mr.

Nestor was formerly the owner of a suburban quarry, from which stone for city paving was bought, but several years ago, through Mr. Bardslcy's agency, the business was sold out to John C. Lucas, after which the former owner becamo only the super intendent. At the death of Mr. Lucas the quarry became the property of H.

H. Yard, who also retained Nestor as superintendent. According to Mr. Nestor's testimony Bardsley had iu August, 18S9, told hira that as ho (Bardsley) had a "lot of money to put out at usury" he would furnish all money needed to carry out city contracts for which Nestor should continue to bid. But don't come to me," the Treasurer had said go to Doerr, my agent, and he will get the money for you." INTEREST AND A BONUS.

Accordingly Nestor had gone to the "lightning calculator," as Mr. Doerr had been called, who agreed to let the money be advanced at the rate of six percent, perannum, with an additional bonus of five per cent, on the gross amount of the contract price. Charles A. Doerr, the agent through whom the money was advanced by Bardsley, told the committee that he had enjoyed an acquaintance with Mr. Bardsley for twenty years, but had no partnership arrangement with hirn.

But we have been interested in some bonus operations together. Part of these operations," he said, "were city contracts." The witness very modestly objected to being dubbed the lightning calculator." Ho considered himself merely one of the rank and file of accountants, though he was not unwilling to be considered an expert among his class. A great deal of additional information concerning Mr. Bardslcy's dealings on Third 6treet was gained from Robert Glendinning, George A. Iluhn, his partner, and several clerks in the brokers' office, all of whom had been subpoenaed as witnesses.

Mr. Bardslcy's loss on the securities handled by Glendinning Co. was stated by them to be though he had partially recovered the amount by means of the interest gained on loans to tho firm amounting at one time to $510,000. A CHICAGO TRACTION DEAL. A $400,000 deal in Chicago West Side was also unearthed through the accuracy of William G.

Huey's memory. Ex City Treasurer P. A. B. Widener had sold the stock to Bardsley and had spoken of it to Mr.

Huey as a lino of security with a particularly bright gilt edgo. Not' all of these transactions were conducted in John Bardslcy's name, many of tho certificates having been made out in the names of his sister, niece, nephew and several clerks in tho Treasurer's office. Except for tho details of the stock deals, the session was an unusually interesting one and the large audience remained on hand until the adjournment, which took placs after o'clock. THOSE STOCK DEALS. A Statement Showing the Purchases and Sales Made for linrdsley.

George A. Iluhn was recalled to the stand after Chairman Kiting had rapped for order at 3 o'clock, and produced a large sheet containing the purchases and sales which had been mado for Mr. Bardsley by Glendinning as well as the ledger for 1J0. The stock transactions had been arranged in chronological order, and Mr. Huhn read them off, while Charles H.

The loans which the firm had made to the Treasurer were due on May 21, and they had asked hira to pay them. This he bad been unable to do, but he had brought them a number of securities and had asked them to sell their) for him. As thoy were securities on which they were unable to realize at a few hours' notice they had made Mr. Bardsley a bid for them and had and irlvtnir htm n. Mifk for the difference amountlnir to about S0O.O00.

When asked what lonna thev hart mario to Mr. Bardsley, Mr. Hulm said that during Doccuib they had let him have about The money which they borrowed included bor rowed April IS and paid uciouer.ii. IS and piua umouer 11 IV, pnlU October 21 21, paid November i. ist 21, paid August 25.

How is it, Mr. Huhn. that you borrowed so much money from Sir. Bardsley when monoy was not tight, and were able to lend it to mm during tue stringency iu iotum ber? We aro always largo borrowersot money, And will usually take anv that Is offered. Mr.

Bardsley had money to lend and we borrowed It, paying him tho regular rates." Did you not know that it was publio money 7" No. sir! we did not." "How much did Mr. Bardsley lose on the stock bought and sold through you?" "Ninety live thousand eight hundred and nrty six dollars, our commission was The total amount of purchase was in rouud numbers "Wusnnv of this stnelr llMf.nd?' "Yes. a hart of it was. though most of It was either our own stock or that of our cus tomers." Where did you deposit Mr.

Bardsley's cnecKsv "In the Seventh or Fourth National Ttnn Ir Wore all of the certificates bought in his name?" "No." OTHER NAMES TSED, Whose name was used "It would take a long time to go over the books and find that out," was the reply, but with the aid of Clerk Beam a number of tho names were discovered in the ledger. Among them wero David C. King, chief clerk In tho Treasurer ofllee; George 1)6 Feelcn, State clerk In the City Treasury; Amy T. mills. Mr.

Bardsley's niece; samuei Hillls. her husband: Mary E. Talcn, his slstor; Elizabeth T.Long. J. F.

Boyd, Charles Bores and Nettie A. Davitt. It was shown, however, that in manycases tho checks had been drawn by the parties in whoso names the certificates were used, so that the committee decided that in these cases, which were mainly small speculations, Mr. Bardsley had acted merely as the agent or ins relatives, for wnoso estate ne is aamiu istmtor. As each name was read off Mr Huhn was asked if he knew who the party was, and rcDlied that he did not.

Mr. Roberts created a great deal of amusement by announcing In a most emphatic manner that he did, and then proceeding to name the relationship between the person reierrea to ann iir. Bardslcv. Both Mr. Huhn nnd Mr.

Beam, who were going over the books loiutly. were closely questioned as to their knowledge of or reason to suspect tne tact, mat iney were handling public money, but both eniphat ically denied any such knowledge or sus picion, "The loans." Mr. Beam said, "were pure loans for which collateral wnsalways given." Charles F. Webb, cashier for the brokers, said that the stock bought by Bardsley was paid for by checks or due bills on tho Keystone Bank, though some of the checks wero drawn on Cincinnati Danns. xney were, however, onlv for small amounts.

Wiien asked about his acoualntance with Mr. Bardsley he said it dated back for years when he had known him as an extensive borrower of money. "I don't doubt that." said Mr. Etting, "but you seem to be tho only persons who nave ever Known him as a lender." Mr. Beam was then recalled and asked whether lie hnd ever borrowed money from any other City Treasurer and said that he had not.

LIGHT FROM MR. HCET. Broker William G. Huey was a witness but a short time, but his testimony was revelation of tho additional $100,000 deal. He was asked: "Do you know anything of Mr.

Bardsley's stock "No; I have no personal knowledge of them." 'Have you any knowledge, personal or otherwise?" Yes, a gentleman told me about a year ago that he had purchased a S400.000 block of West Side for Mr. Bardsley. But this was only In a general conversation." Will you tell us the name of your informant?" I don'twant looklngaround at the committee, he added, "but you people nave a lasmon or making such questions bring an answer. His name is Peter A. B.

A ldener, ex City Treasurer. Tins created oulte a little excitement, but Mr. lotting remarking that Glendinning Co. didn't have such a great monopoly of Mr. Bardsley's trade after all, smiled and excused the witness.

Robert Glendinning, senior member of the firm which bears his name, was then called and quietly answered broadside after broad sido of questions as to how he could have failed to suspect that a public official who was able to loan him 8510,000 and at thesame time carry 8400,000 worth of securities could be doing other than using public money. Oh, no," said the broker, "I didn't think anything of that kind. Mr. Bardsley had tho money to lend and we borrowed it. Wo frequently borrow largo sums from individuals." "There are not many who could accommodate you with half a million, are there?" No, I believe not." Tho same flreof questions to which Messrs.

Huhn, Beam and Webb had been subjected, bearing on the samo point, wero asked, but Mr. Glendinning insisted that he had not thought of the matter in that way, but had merely formed the impression that Mr. Bardsley was a man of means, and had not considered at all tho possibility of his using puhlic money. He had borrowed the money at the regular street rates, either 5 or 6 per and that was about the extent of his interest in it. INTERESTED IX CONTRACTS.

The Bonns Operations In Which Bards ley and Doerr Shared. Charles A. Doerr who had been waiting In a very apparent Impatient mood while the minute examination of the brokers was in progress seemed somewhat relieved when he was called to the staud. Ho smilingly admitted a twenty years' acquaintance with the imprisoned City Treasurer, but denied having been in partnership with him at any time, but," he added, we have been interested in some bonus operations together." Well, what were these bonus operations." Contract work," laconically answered the witness. Any of it city woTk Y'es, a part of it was." Now.

Mr. Doerr, you are tho man who was spoken of as the lightning calculator, who was to attepd to the financial end of several contracts. Will you tell us Just what your relation with Mr. Bardsley was?" Mr. Doerr was very modest as to his rating among calculators and accountants, and quite a number of pleasant things were said and acknowledged before he could settle down to answer tho question.

He did, however, finally state that he was Mr. Bardslcy's agent and managed all allairs of that nature. He had furnished money supplied by Mr. Bardsley to Contractor Smart for two contracts amounting to about 818,000, as well as to John Nolan and William A. Nestor.

The city contracts had amounted in all to about 510,000. Smart, lie said, knew that tho money camo trom Bardsley, because lie was present when arrangements were mado wit li Nolan for furnishing him monoy with which to carry on work. No time was lost after the dismissal of Calculator Doerr in calling William A.Nestor as the target at which to fire queries. Mr. Nestor is a man somewhat advanced in years and he gave his evidence in such a plain, earliest manner as to win the approbation ot his inquisitors.

His business, he said, wan that of a city contractor, though he had owned asuburban quarry, from which a large part of the stone used in macadamizing roads within the city was formerly supplied. BARDSLEY AND TIIE QUARRY. "Was Mr. Bardsloy interested In this business?" I think he was, but I am not sure." "Tell us why you think he was." Some years ago, perpn ps seven or eight, I had some trouble and Mr. Bardsley offered to help mo by finding a customer for the quarry.

So he sold it to John C. Lucas and I stayed there as superintendent and manager." Was the money paid for the quarry Mr. Bardslcy's money?" Interrupted Mr. Etting, "I don't know that. Mr.

Bardsley only told me that he had an Interest In me and wanted to see me get along, and he said he would help me, but he wanted tho quarry to do well and to make money." How much business did you do at the quarry From 89,000 to $15,000 a year." When Mr. Lucas died who took the business I believe Mr. Yard bought. It, but I don't know anything about that. He simply kept me tliero as superintendent and I received my money from the company." "Company! What do you mean?" hurriedly asked Beveral members in chorus.

"I mean from the firm, Yard if there really was a company, and 1 think there was, though I dou't really know. I supposed Mr. Bardsley was interested lu some way." Did he ever visit the place?" Yes, one Sunday afternoon, but never to transact any business." Did he ever advance you any money?" "I think it was in somewhere about August, that Mr. Bardsley suid he had a lot of money he wanted to put out at usury, and that he would let me have it if I would bid for contracts. 'But don't come to me for he said, 'because I am too busy.

You go to Doerr and he will get you the "So you did that?" es, I used to make out the pay roll on Fridays and would take It to Doerr's house, and he would get me the money by ten or eleven o'clock Saturday morning." PAID BIO INTEREST. How much did you pay him?" "Six per cent, on the money advanced In this way and five per cent, on the amount of the oontract." "Why did you pay him lo much?" "I don't know," answered the witness innocently, "only that was the agreement and I paid It." Is Bardsley helping yon with the Spring Garden street work "Oh.no. I am doing that myself. Arthur McGinn Is doing the paving and furnishing the money and am to pay him when It Is Wflfflk'i I The New Vice President Says It Has Turned the Corner and Is All Right. Percy M.

Lewis and Myers resigned because they thought It would inure to the benelltof the bauk. In speaking of tho bank's condition Mr. McFillin said that tho deposits yesterday were larger than they had been for many days. We have weathered the storm," said Mr. McFillin.

We have turned the corner and we are all right." BELIjE BILTOX A COUNTESS. The Mnslo Hall Singer's Husband Is Now Karl of Clancarty. London, May 29. Richard Somerset le Poer Trench, fourth Earl ol Clancarty, died suddenly to day. By the Earl's death Viscount Dunlo, his eldest son and the husband of Belle Bllton, the English music hall singer, becomes Earl of Clancarty and Belle Bilton becomes Countess of Clancarty.

Belle Bilton and hor sister, "Flo" Bllton, are well known in the London musio hall world. Belle's most noted appearance before the public was in July, 1890, when she was the defendant In a suit for divorce brought against, her by her husband, Viscount Dunlo. The case was opened on July 25 before Sir James JIannen. SlrCharles Russell appeared for the Viscount. Isadora Wertheimer, a wealthy West End dealer In bric a brac, was the co respondent.

The trial ended on July 30, Lady Dunlo securing a verdict in her favor. She left the court amid a shower of cheers. The Court granted the costs of the action against Viscount Dunlo. Soon after the suit was settled, or early In August, 1800, Viscount and Lady Dunlo became reconciled and the latter toured the British provinces in the character of Venus. Previous to so doing Vis count Dunlo is said to have shaken hands with Wertheimer and to have occupied the same box with the latter in tho Comedy Theatre.

Since that time very little has been heard of Lady Dunlo, except that she was continuing her career of Music Hall triumphs at a higher salary than she bad ever earned uetore. The father of the present Countess of Clan carty was a respected sergeant of artillery, formerly stationed at Woolwich, nnd she Is said to havo commenced a fast life a very early age among the soldiers of the Woolwich garrison. After this preparation Belle and her sister "Flo" made their debut on the stage of the barrack, where their mother played the Goddess of Beauty. From there the girls graduated to the London musio nans. CAME TO HIS OWN INQUEST.

Strange Case of Mistaken Identity In New York. Special Telegram to Tuk Tthks. New Youk, May 29. John H. Clark, of this city, will hereafter be proud of the fact that he is the only living man that has attended his own inquest.

On May 22 John left his wife and home to look for work in Harlem. Two days afterward the mangled body of an unknown man was found on the Sixth avenue elevated tracks near One Hundred and Fifty fifth street. Tho remains were taken to the Morgue and full descriptions of the man and bis clothing were published. Mrs. Clarke went to tho Morgue and although the face of the dead man was mangled beyond recognition she thought she knew the clothes were her husband's.

On the record the namo went down as John H. Clark and Coroner Hanley set to day to Inquire into his death. Tins morning, just alter tne coroner naa begun the Inquest, a tall, well built young man walked in with his smiling wife on his arm and announced himself as John H. Clark. The Coroner said he would postpone the case until the corpse died and then hearty congratulations followed.

ft seems that when Clark left home he nnd not been successful In finding work at first, but after a few days' searcli through the ad joining cities he tiad heard of a place at the Ivory stable of Constable lirown. at orl Lee. His mother knew he was there, but owing to a quarrel with his wife sho did not let tier know the truth during the days of doubt. He came home a few days after his body had been Identified and was surprised to find his wlfo a widow. Coroner Hanley said that he should sum mon the mother in law, who livos at 346 East Forty second street, and cause her to tell under oath why she kept the young wife under such dreadful suspense.

THE THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT. Ohio Farmers Have Fut a Damper on the Feeling In Kansas. Topeka, May 29. The action taken by the Farmers' Convention at Columbus, Ohio, in refusing to indorse the action taken by the Cincinnati third party conference has had a somewhat depressingeffect upon the People's party men In Kansas. The Kansas delega ion to Cincinnati declared upon their re turn that the great battle ground of the new party this year would be the Huckeye State, and they were moro than confident that Wednesday's convention would decide upon nominating a full State ticket.

J. B. French, secretary of the Alllance.said concerning It: "It makes no difierencewhat was done by the Columbus convention. There will bo a People's party ticket in the field In Ohio this year. That is a foregone conclusion." P.

P. Elder, member of the National Peo Sle's party State central committee nnd peakerof the last Kansas House of Representatives, in an interview at Ottawa, said that while the action of theconvention was exceedingly disappointing, that one State could not in anyway stem the tide of the third party movement.

City of Mexico, May 29. A special from Acapulco says there is a well founded report there that the officers of the Esmeralda, which coaled there yesterday, have said that the fugitive Chilian vessel, the Itata, has gone direct to Melbourne, Australia, after having transferred her arms and ammunition bought In the United States to the Es meralda. The officers of the cruiser have made no secret that they had communication with the Itataon the 15th instant.

He repeated that the greater part of the coal received came for them from the United States.
