George W. Hendricks, the young man imprisoned In the Doylestown Jail on the charges of stealing money orders from the Reading Railroad offices, who was run to earth by Route Agent Williams, of the United States Express Co, of Allentown, has proved to be a desperate character.

Kinley Tenders Places to General Schofield and ex-Senator Gordon, of Georgia, on the Proposed War Investigating Commission General Lawton's Santiago Health ReportMore Soldiers on the Way to Camp Meade. San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. 10. flfie American evacuation commissioners, at a meeting held Thursday after- tioon, decided to notify Captain General Macias that they were present and ready to proceed with business. A com munication to this effect was drafted In most courteous terms.

It asked When and where the Spanish cojhmls- doners would meet the Americans. Lieutenant Sears, Admiral Schley's flag lieutenant, delivered the communica tion to the captain general, driving to the palace in a carriage. At the gate of the palace a brick was hurled at him from the sidewalk. Being an old base ball player, he was able partly to ward off the missile with his hands, and it fell, striking him on the ankle, but do ing only slight injury. This is the first Incident of the kind since our arrival here.

The lieutenant did not deem it advisable to lodge a complaint, and the police made no arrest. The American commissioners are de termined to brook no delay, as Indicat ed by their action. Although Captain General Macias recognized their pres ence by official visits they had not been notified of the appointment or of the names of the Spanish commission ers, and the names of the latter have not been officially gazetted here in spite of the fact that it is understood, unofficially, that Generals Ortega and Vallerino and the auditor of war, Senor Aguilar, comprise the Spanish commission. About noon yesterday the American military commissioners received a reply from Captain General Macias to their communication. General Macias said the Spanish evacuation commissioners would be ready to meet the Americans et the palace today.

Later in the day General Brooke, Admiral Schley and General Gordon held a conference at the Hotel Inglaterra regarding the attitude they will assume at the meeting. DENOUNCING SAGASTA. the Defeated Spanish Premier Has a Bard lime With the Cortes. Madrid, Sept. 10.

The government's Severe measures to prevent reports of the secret sessions of the cortes are nullified the senators and deputies of the opposition, who are eager to inform the foreign correspondents as to What goes on. In the chamber of deputies Senor Canalejas, the- course of a long Blfeejt Mistake Seems to Have Been Mil ly the Regiment's Managers. From the New York Sun. It seems that Wednesday morning of this week was the date origtn-ally set on which the First Illinois Regiment was to leave Camp Wikoff. Bids were asked for from the railroad companies for transporting the troops westward from New York, provision being made for the transportation of the sick soldiers in sleeping, cars.

The contract was awarded to the Lehigh Valley Railroad on Tuesday -morning and the regiment was ordered to move on the following day. Later on Tuesday the Lehigh Valley Railroad informed the deputy quartermaster's office in this city that it was impossible for them to get enough sleeping cars to fulfil their contract, and their agent asked to have the movement of the regiment delayed until Thursday morning. There was no time for new bids, and orders were immediately telegraphed to Mon-tauk Point to hold the regiment until Thursday morning-, and the regiment was informed of the change of plans. In the meantime Senator Mason, of Illinois, and Col. Turner, commanding the regiment, resolved that the regiment should go on the day first appointed and made arrangements on their own hook for transporting the regiment from New York over the West Shore Railroad, and they notified the officials at Montauk that the gov ernment need not concern itself fur ther in the matter.

In accordance with their own plan the regiment marched to the Long Island Railroad station only to receive word from the officials of the Long Island Railroad that they had not received Senator Mason's order soon enough to furnish cars at the time specified by him. The Lehigh Valley Railroad failed to perform their contract according to agreement; but that fact does not ab solve the regiment's managers from responsibility for the blunder in ar ranging for its transportation, for they assumed it. The failure of the Long Island Rail iua.il nave cars at ine station is a disputed matter between Senator Mason and the officers of that road. but the government is not involved in the controversy. it is time that the still small voice of reason regarding: the official man-.

agement of the troops should be bigger ana louder than it is now. SOLDIERS AT THE SHOW. They Take Advantag-e of the Invitation to See "Mi" and Chas. H. Yale's new extravaganza, The Evil Eye," presented at the Academy last niglit, was a decided success.

The play has a more exten slve plot than is usual with Yale's nrn uuctions, ana tells the story of the trials of a loving couple separated by xne macninations of. Wartburg. he of the "Evil Eye." The play embraces a wiae range of countries and climate including Holland, Russia and Drach- enieis, tne ruined castle on. the rm The cast is large and Includes numer ous pretty girls. The JoMy Students' Quartet, In the second act, was heartily appreciated.

A decidedly original act was the sen. Rational moving effect, at the eion of the second act, showing the height of ludicrous possibilities. "The iegena 01 tne Kntae," by the com pany, sung and danced to minute time, was a beautiful scene. Hnwmw wi' and Nod, the two acrobatic wonders wnom tne play two tn.n brownies, were the comic element nf nue snow, ana their antics were more man amusing. The kind invitation of the fcva.1 visiting managers, to the returned heroes of Porto Rico, was gladly accepted and the courtesy was heartily appreciated.

She went from the house toward the barn and then returned, saying she smelled smoke. Mr.

Caffrey Promoted. Richard Caffrey, of South Bethlehem, general roadmaster of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, has been promoted with the title of engineer of maintenance. Mr. Caffrey's new position is one of and influence on the road. He is a railroad man of experience and ability and his friends are pleased at the Valley's recognition of his long and able service.

Ivy Poisoned Prisoners. Owing to the number of cases of ivy poisoning in the Berks County prison, caused by the inmates inhaling odors wafted from the poison ivy vines on the prison walls, the board of inspectors took steps yesterday for removing the vines. There is a thick growth of the poison ivy on the walls, which has hitherto been allowed to remain on account of its beautifying effect. Truth wears well. People have learned that DeWitt's Little Early Risers are reliable little pills for regulating the bowels, curing constipation and sick headache.

They don't gripe. H. L. Kelper, 41 North Seventh St The Mayor Eapt His Word and Tore Down Some of Them. The mayor kept his word.

The permanent peanut stands are no more. They were very transient affairs when he applied the mighty arm of law. He notified the owners of the stands 10 days ago that they had to be removed by to-day, or he would remove them by process of law. A notice was also sent to the tenants to vacate. No-body heeded the mayor's notices and a big fight was expected to-day.

It is rumored that the owners of the stands had pooled issues and intended to1 get out an injunction if the mayor made any hostile demonstration to-day. But the mayor stole a march on them. The 10 days were up at midnight. At that hour, by order of the mayor, the street commissioner had two teams and 10 carpenters In waiting on the square. A few minutes later the street commissioner led his forces to Sixth and Hamilton and directed five men to remove Sam Swartz's stand, at Lentz's shoe factory, and five more to remove J.

W. Lippskl's stand, at the side of the Ruhe building. Sam Swartz's stand, which was built only a few days, was moved easily. The stand was not broken. It was fastened only with tin nailed to the building and stand.

The confectionery and fruit, as well as the show cases, were all loaded on a wagon and taken to the city lot, at Fountain and Maple Streets, and a guard was placed over the goods. Later the entire stand was hauled there. The stand at the Ruhe building made more trouble. It was built more substantially. The windows and doors were opened and the entire stock, peanuts and all, were also carted to the city lot.

The stand proper was taken apart. The small temporary stand beside the main structure was first mov ed with its contents. The main stand was. fastened to railings, and, on the Whole, It was ho easy Job to move it. The work at Sixth and Hamilton being finished, the street commissioner removed the stand of Aaron R.

Huff, at the Krause building at Ninth and Hamilton. The other stands are those of Hugh Sweeney at Fifth and Hamilton, W. Haas at Seventh and Turner and S. Nigro at Race and Hamilton. Mr.

Sweeney, who has had experience in being removed, was the cutest of the lot. He had taken his goods to a place of safety. He expects to remove his stand to the vacant Paxson lot back of the post office and continue in business. The other two stands will probably be removed by Monday. It Is expected that the removal of the stands will end the matter.

According to all lawyers who have expressed an opinion the stands were a nuisance and illegal. The mayor wants it understood that he hasn't made war on the peanut, only on the permanent stand. REMOVED HIS WEEDS. He Kicked at First, Bat the Heighbora Knew the Law. Charles Donner, a farmer of Welsen- burg, who owns a meadow about three miles from his home, was notified to exterminate the weeds on this swamp land.

Since this piece of land is so far from his farm he neglected to see to the weeds and so those who have property adjoining Mr. Donner's be came dissatisfied and had him notified to remove the weeds before the seed would ripen and be distributed over the adjoining land. Mr. Donner expressed himself as the owner of the property and could raise on It what he desired, even wild carrots and milkweed, but his neighbors explained to him the law concerning weeds and urged him to exterminate them at once. He took the advice of his friends and probably saved himself some trouble and expense.

It Is highly necessary that farmers and all property owners wage war on weeds and those who do not should be compelled by law to do so, for if only some destroy them and their neighbors let them come to seed. the wind and other agencies will cover all adjoining property with the seed of the weeds and in proper season will bring their fruit without fertilizing or cultivation.

C. Aschbach, 539 Hamilton Street. Payinsr Off the Soldiers. Major Webster C. Weiss, of Bethle hem, paymaster in the United States Army, was on Saturday last ordered from Atlanta, to Camp Hamilton.

Lexington, and to report to Gen eral Sanger, in charge of the Third Division, First Army Corps. He Is now located in the city of Lexington. This is quite an honor, as he is not required to go out on the field, has an office In the city, and reports only to ine assistant paymaster general. He pays by check and currency. At Chiek-amauga he paid from Aug.

4 to Aug. 13, 5000 men, disbursing $122,000, counting every dollar three times. Prices of Grain. Local millers are still, offering 70 cents for wheat, 40 for rye, 28 for oats and 40 for corn. The farmers hereabouts aren't inclined to sell their wheat at that price and most of it remains in the graneries.

WITH FEVERISH ANXIETY IN HAVANA and Predicts His Own Downfall President Mc- children are as much interested as the men. Senor De Castro, civil governor of Havana, has requested General Blance to issue a decree suspending the con fiscatlon of cattle in the province, as has already been done in the province of Matanxas. The scarcity of cattle throughout the island Is telling heavily in every branch of agriculture.

Senor De Castro yesterday issued an order closing up the free soup kitchens. Advices from all the Cuban camps show the sincerity of the desire on the part of insurgents to maintain order. All attempts at riot, violence or robbery are summarily punished by imprisonment. On Sept. 3 five men belonging to the command of Eduardo Garcia were court martialled by the insurgents at Matanzas and sentenced to be shot for a theft of money and cattle.

The sentence was carried out. Peaoe Commissioner Gray. Wilmington, Sept. 10. Senator George Gray will be one of the fivo commissioners to arrange the terms of peace between this country and Spain.

His acceptance of that position will make necessary his retirement from the Canadian commission recently organized in Quebec. The senator reached his decision to accept yesterday, having previously notified President McKinley that he must decline the honor. His declination, made known on Wednesday, was followed by a visit from Assistant Secretary of State John Bassett Moore, himself a native of Delaware, who will accompany the commission as secretary and counsel. Mr. Moore came to this city at the request of the president to ask Senator Gray to reconsider his declination.

General Shafter at Washington. Washington, Sept. 10. Major Genera! Shafter, commander of the Fifth corps, arrived in Washington last evening, coming directly from Camp Meade, Pa. He was accompanied by his confidential aide and secretary, Lieutenant Colonel J.

R. Miloy. They passed through the station and entered a carriage without attracting special attention and were driven directly to the Ebbitt House, where apartments had been reserved for them. The general comes to Washington by direction of the war department, but for what specific purpose is not known. General Lawton's Health Washington, Sept.

10. General Law-ton, in his bulletin concerning the health conditions of the American troops at Santiago last night, reports the death of Dr. E. S. Tyner, acting assistant surgeon, from yellow fever.

Off For Camp Meade. Washington, Sept. 10. The Fifteenth Pennsylvania volunteers, which has been on duty at Sheridan Point, the recently constructed fortlflcatlont for the defense of Washington, left this city over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad last night for Camp Meade, Pa. HONORED BY Death of Dr, Isaac S.

Jos eph Moyer, at Kulpsvllle, with whom he studied medicine. He graduated in 1859, from the Pennsylvania Medical College, located the same month at Plumsteadville and remained there nine years. After traveling extensive ly in 1868 he located, in April, 18t, in Quakertown, having purchased the practice of Dr. Thomas and R. J.

When quite young Dr. Moyer commenced the study of botany, and after settling in Bucks County he studied the flora of the county systematically. In 1876 he published a catalogue of the plants of the county in the history published by General W.

W. H. Davis, the first ever issued. He was also a student of general natural history, especially ornithology and entomology. He was a member of the Bucks County and Lehigh Medical Societies, of the board of censors of the Medlco-Chlrur-gical College, Philadelphia, and a member of the electoral college of Pennsylvania 6n the Republican ticket in 1880.

(LEASING EYEHT AT HIS RESIDENCE His First Chance to Express His Thanks to the People for the Confidence Reposed in Him. Promises That He Will Endeavor to Retain it Always.

For the first time since he received the nomination of both Democrats and Republicans for re-election, Judge Al bright had opportunity last night to express his gratitude and gratification for the confidence reposed in him by the citizens of Lehigh County, regardless of party. The opportunity came when he was formally notified of his nomination by the Republlcanis. At the Republican county convention three weeks ago a committee was appointed to perform this pleasant duty. The notification committee consisted of Hon. James S.

Biery, Alderman W. L. Jones and James L. Marsteller, of Allentown; Lew Moore, of Slatlngton; Samuel J.1 Kistler, of Saegersville; A. N.

Ulrich, of Catasauqua, and W. B. Schaeffer, of West Bethlehem. The committee met the judge at his residence at 8 o'clock. 'Mr.

Biery read a telegram from Samuel J. Kistler stating important business prevented hiy attendance and the only other member not present was Mr. Schaeffer. Mr. Biery was spokesman for the notification committee.

He first told the judge how the Republicans had felt about It and in accordance with that feelinghowthey had acted at the county meeting and county convention. He then took occasion to state why the Republicans felt they ought to honor him by endorsing him, saying: "Tour course on the bench has given great satisfaction. You have done what was right and fair and Just. I conceive that It must he a matter of congratulation to yourself that you have been able to satisfy all concerned. For ourselves, we come here with a great deal of pleasure and feel pleased that we can place you on our ticket and are glad you are on ours as well as on that of the party with which you are affiliated.

We congratulate you personally and for our party and wish you health and strength for many years to come." Judge Albright repponded as follows: "Gentlemen of the committee: I embrace this opportunity, through you, to thank the delegates of the late Republican county convention for their generous action In naming me as the candidate of thAt party for re-election to the office of Judge. Thereby my election has been rendered less uncer tain than it otherwise would have been, and the probability of a heated partisan contest for that office has been avoided, which Is no doubt gratifying to right-hearted peopte of all parties. "Several months ago I became the candidate of the Democratic party by general consent, pursuant to the pro visions of the act of 1897. Owing to the nature of that selection no suitable oc casion has been presented for public expression on my part. I accept both of saia nominations and I am profoundly thankful to the many thousands of people of both parties who brought about my said nominations.

Said selections of myself were not the result of the support of a few men, but were made in consequence of a decided favorable public sentiment, the creation of which was the result of favorable words and efforts of many thoufands. "The task of administering justice in this, the most important district in the commonwealth, having but one judge, is not an easy one. But that task has been lightened Immensely by the holding up of my hands by the people of all parties with a strength which I am sure Is not comprehended by those residing without our borders. There has been no carping at or undue questioning of the exercise of the authority with which the people, through the law, have invested me. Let it be known that In their relation to their courts this people stand for righteousness.

"The circumstances are such that it is not expected that I should make promises as to what I shall or shall not do in the event of my election. I should be dull of apprehension If I did not understand that the people approve my course during the 20 years past and desire a continuance thereof. I recognize that my obligation is to fulfill that expectation. I am no stranger to the people of this district. I -have lived and tolled under their eyes all the days of my years and In their midst, and I trust, when life's fitful fever Is over, my bones may repose In peace.

I feel that no pledges on my part are required. The action of the people, Irrespective of party, on which our minds are now dwelling, recalls the record of the testimony which the Israelites bore to Samuel, Judge of Israel. They said to Samuel: 'Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's "Gentlemen of the cCTn.mlttee, I wish to repeat that I am profoundly grateful to all who gave me their support, and I thank you for the very kind and highly complimentary manner In which you have announced to me my nomination." Father McWahon III. The Rev. P.

J. McMahon, chaplain of the Ninth Pennsylvania Regiment, is 111 with typhoid fever at St. Joseph's Hospital, Lexington, Ky. He was formerly assistant to Father McEnroe, of South Bethlehem. A dispatch was sent to the Rev.

James Barry, of St. Paul's Church, Lexington, Inquiring as to Father McMahon's condition. Father Barry replied as follows: "Father McMahon beginning typhoid fever. Every chance of recovery."

There Is a feeling of downright Impatience at the commission's non-arrival.
