AN INSURANCE SWINDLE. The Allesrert Pittsburg; Doctor Xnmeil From Pliilndelpltlu. A conspiracy, by which accident insurance companies were defrauded, has been brought to light by the confession of a Pittsburg physician, who was Implicated. The plan was to secure policies in Several companies, and derive a revenue from self-lnfllcted or artificial injuries. An abrasion of the skin was treated with acids, inflammation resulting.

The Iocall agent of one of the companies secured a jconfes-sion, which implicated the local physician, and others in Philadelphia. Nearly every accident insurance company in the' United States suffered by the scheme. A telegram from Philadelphia gives the name of the doctor implicated here as Dr. Loupcoff. The Philadelphia ringleaders are Louis K.

Glossman, 729 South Fourth; Alexander Loder, Samuel Loder and Dr. Abraham Hahn. all of 961 South Fifth street. Quarterly policies were taken in the Provident Mutual. Atlas aocilent, Aetna, Preferred, U.

S. Mutual. American Employes. Travelers, Standard, Fidelity and Casualty, National accident, and New Kngland accident companies. The alleged Dr.

Loupcoff was drawing $125 weekly at the time of the exposure, and had claims asainst the other companies, who refused payment. More arrests are expected in a day or two. WORSE ANDM0RE OF IT. COCXIWT GET THE DALL Ol'T OF REACH OF THE BALTI-MORE FIELDERS. JUST ESCAPED A SHUT-GUT.

Baltimore ChfeaKO Cleveland Cincinnati New York Philadelphia 9 7 Boston 7 Washington .14 Brooklyn 7 4 St. 4 5 3 There was a large-sized hoodoo at Exposition park yesterday afternoon, and its presence was fatal to Mack's men. Its name was not Hemming, nor did it wear orange-striped stockings.

The Pittsburgs fought gallantly against its wicked influence, and went down with sleeves rolled up, fighting to the last. What else but a hoodoo could make every hit by the Pittsburgs fall into the hands of a fielder? Mack's men never worked harder to win. Killen pitched steady, ball that is sure to win nine out of ten games, and the placers hit the ball hard. But every hit went straight into the hands of an infielder, or went so high that the outfielders had plenty of time to get under it. To show the "luck" Baltimore played in, an instance in the sixth Inning may be mentioned.

Stenzel drqve the ball good and hard toward left field. It struck McGraw with terrific force. But instead of continuing intd the field the ball shied toward Jennings, who caught it and threw Stenzel out at first base. eitner Alcuraw nor jra-. nings moved out of his tracks.

Up to the ninth inning not a Pittsburg man scored, and only two got as far as third rm In th ninth, with the score 9 to 0 against them, Mack's men went in for their last trial. It looked ior mi me worid liks a shut-out. Donovan and Stenzel went out on high flies, and then Beckley stepped up as determined as if the game was still in sight. After knocking numerous fouls, he sent the ball skipping into left field for a single, but kept on to third when Kelly fumbled it. Smith banged the ball to Carey, who tried to stou it.

but didn't. Beckley scored and saved the team a whitewash. Smith scored a moment later on a two- base hit by Bierbauer. Clingman ended the game by going out from Reitz to Carey. With such a hoodoo against them Pittsburg could not have beaten Baltimore with 20 men.

Baltlmores scored three runs in the first inning on a double, a base on balls, a wild pitch and two singles. There were two close decisions by Umpire Long, which helped along the hoodoo. In the fifth inning three singles, a base on balls and a wild throw gave the Ba'timores four more runs. A fumble, a steal and a single added one more to the tally in the seventh, and two singles and two sacrifice hits added another in the ninth. The score: PITTS.

MONEY FROM ILLINOIS. Clinton Mill Men ome Out anil Advances Reported. TUB LABOR SITl'ATIOX IX DETAIL. The strike among the coal miners of the Pittsburg district promises to.be renewed with more vigor than before. The miners have been having an uphill fight, the operators by a flank movement cutting oft their financial support in paying the 09-cent fate to non-union miners.

Yesterday the local district officials had word from the officials of the Illi nois miners, stating that under existing circumstances the miners in that state were about to suffer on account of the probable failure of the strike in this district. To prevent it they tendered financial support to the extent of $10,000, with the promise of more. President J. A. Cairns said last night: "There will almost certainly be a complete suspension in this district in a few (lays.

A convention of miners win lie hclil early next week, when the matter will be laid before them. We bave been promised all the financial, help necessary, and it is about the only way we can wits out." Durin.tr the the officials succeeded in shutting down the Guffy, Shaner and Dig Chief mines, on the main line of the Baltimore St Ohio, and thu. Acme. Allen and Fidelity, on the Pittsburg, Virginia Charleston. There is importance attached to the Illinois alliance, and a big light is fairly well assured.

ADVISES CAUTiOUS ACTION. The American Jliiuofaetnrer Talks of Wafte Advances. In commenting editorially on the advance in the wages of iron and steel worker-, Hie "American Manufacturer" expresses a fear hat the workers will get Into a feverish haste for higher wages and thinj-'s with such energy as to injure their own It goes on to say: "The past two years have been disastrous to labor unions, and ihey have been made to atone for the sins committed in the time of their strength. But the rush back into the ranks of th6- Amalgamated association has been phenomenal. The number of branches' reorganized and reinstated during the past few months would, if mentioned cause no little surprise.

Sine; Uie iron and steel workers have been compelled to drop everything like united actKm, the employes have not been clear gainers. Arrangements havs been made which in some cases were a positive injury to the entire trade. It is better that labor should united in a sensibly conducted union, and it is evident that labor organizations are again to come to the front: but whether they tiav profited by their recent experifnee remains to be seen." TO CONSiDERJHE SCALE. AmnlienEiinted Association Committee to Meet in This City. The scale committee of the Amalgamated association will meet in this city one week from to-day.

It is cornjiosed of 21 members of the association, ram various parts of the country, who meet every year just prior to the annual conver.t:on of the association. They will be in session several days to consider the scale of wages paid in different departments of the trade, and investigate ail complaints and grievances. They will then formulate a report, which will be submitted to the convention for adoption or rejection. Speaking of the probable action of the committee in regard to an advance in the scale. President M.

M. Garland said: "I cannot make any prediction, but am Inclined to believe that the scale, as it stands at present. in the main be adopted. Tae committee wiil have considerable work, as tiris promises to he one of the most important conventions in the history of the organization. Considerable business of importance to the Pittsburg district will be CLINTON MENCOME OUT.

Three Committee Are IHsclinrscil on kin Demands. The iron workers' strike spread to some extent yesterday, and a number of advances in wages are reported. Last nigr.t th? puddlers in die Clinton mill went out, oniy the finishers remaining, and they are expected to come out Saturday. During the day three committees were sent to the employers and made demands for an increase. As fast as they ma le their wants known they were discharged.

The Laughlin company, at Laughiin station, voluntarily increased the wage; of their metal carriers 25 cents a day. They had been receiving Jt and will now get $2 20 a day. Th? wages of th laborers was increased from 30 to $1 a day. A report came from Sharon yesterday stating that the wages of mere than 1,500 men employed in the blast furnaces in that place had been increased. On the wholj the iron workers in all departments feel that the bitter times are bound to bring about higher wages.

And if not granted voluntarily, strikes will follow. BLAST FURNACEEXPLODES. Edith StnrtleH the Vicinity, but Ilniniisre Pone.

The bill was amended in the house, which modifies it as originally prepared by Lie commission, and Mr. Weeks estimates the revenues of the state in 1896, if assessed as the amended bill provides, will be 893,671 'in excess of the needs of the treasury, on a basis of the expenditures of 1S94. Mr. Weeks begins his summary by stating that Hie bill, as originally pre-pered, would affect the state revenge in three ways, "By diverting to the counties and minor civil divisions certain taxes whicii now go to the sute; by changes in method? of levying taxes on certain subjects of state taxation; and by taxition of corporations that now escape state taxation. "Under the action of the first of these classes the state revenue will be reduced.

Under tr.e action of the second and third it will be increased." The bill modifies or changes the existing system of taxation by assessing tax on the market value of corporation stocks and bonds instead of on their par value. As a reason for this, Mr. Weeks says: "The conditions under which business is now being carried on are such, requiring such aggregations of capital, that thers is a decided tendency not only to carry on new enterprises as corporations, but also to incorporate long-established businesses. From January 1, 1894. to January 1, 1SS5, the total number of corporations chartered in Pennsylvania was 7'JO.

with an authorized capital of Many of the corporations had only a nominal amount of capital expressed in their applications for charters, and he submits that the assessment of taxes on the market value of the capital stock, surplus, undivided and bonds would inure to equity by having taxation distributed in such a manner as would work no immunity to those corporations best able to pay it, and at the same lighten the burdens of those of small capital or whose securities were below par. Under the bill originally 'introduced the estimated would be $129,028 in excess of the needs of the treasury, as compared with the year 1894. At the same time, the minor civil divisions of the state would receive a more equitable allotment of the taxes ossesred. In an appendix, the effect of the amendments changing the bill are treated of. The amendments affect the revenues by striking out the clauses in the bill relating to manufacturing corporations, mutuil insurance companies ant building and loan associations.

The changes, it is figured, would produce an excess of revenue over expenditures of In addition to this, Mr. Weeks maintains, that there wiil be a further increase from the proposed tax of per cent on the business transacted the stite by foreign building and loan associations, hut how much cannot be estimate! in advance. ON THE BAuTfHELD. Mnc-k's Men Have ever Been Called Down 1" Hie Impire. The Baltimore players were very noisy toward the umpires yesterday, in epite of the new rules.

Manager Mack intimated yesterday that if the Orioies repeat their tactics to-day he would order his men to do the same. Mack proudly points to the fact that not once this season did an umpire find it necesary to "call down" any of his men. If an umpire, however, allows the players of one team to "chew the rag." he will find tfce Pittsburgs in line with the same The Pittsburgs have been playing gentlemanly ball right along, in spite of the accusation of the Cincinnati club and papers. President Brush, of the Cincinnati team, is reported to have to sue certain of the Pittsburg players for causing injury to the Reds. Brush is a bold man.

The chances are. if he follows out his threat, some of his own players will rind themselves in the cooler. Ii Is curious Cincinnati penile are the only ones who saw Beckley "deliberately tripping up Foreman." Other people who witnessed the game are ready to swear that foreman tried to knock Beckley down, and got the worst of it. Tliey May Meet Ann In. John Parry, the victor, and James Cai-lagher, the vanquished, met on Fifth avenue last night.

Of course there was sulphur in the air before the two had exchanged many words. The upshot of a lot of talk finally was that Parry agreed to meet Callagher in an eight-round contest for $2Ti0 a side, before the Metropolitan club, of Wheeling, at the club's nex. entertainment, on May 30. The contest is to be for points, a decision to be rendered after eight rounds if both men are stiil on their feet. Whether anything will come of ttie talk is to be seen.

At the coroner's inquest, resumed yesterday morning. Ffank Ross, the negro, against whom the detectives thought they had almost conclusive evidence, was discharged, and Charles II. Evans, the lunch counter man, took his place as the chief suspect. For a time it looked cloudy for James Jackson, porter of the Doiiar savings but it was proven he was his home when the murder must have been committed, and he, too. was let go.

The evidence that cleared him was furnished by Charles Murray, who testified to having seen Jackson leave his home at a. m. Monday. Inspector McKelvey was th? second witness. The only new testimony he gave was that Evans's apron, which he found in the pantry, was badly tonr; Evans explained this by saying that he had to tear it thus in order to set it off.

when his nose began bleeding a stream. There was blood on Evans's apron, and also on his trousers, which he claimed came from his nose. Inspector McKelvey thf-n went to the morgue. On the sleeve of the dead man's coat was a shred of apron. Evans had been in the cellar that morning.

he admitted being in the Iavatorr, about a. to wash his hands. The shred of apron was put in evidence, and is regarded at police headquarters as very import int evidence against Evans. Frank P.oss was called, but was warned that anything he might say would be used in a further Investigation of the crime. He insisted on being sworn, ind said he came to work about that morning.

As he came in cilled to him to go for Drs. Getty and Moore, as "the old man had been murdered. The handkerchiefs, bloody shirts and towel, he admitted, were his. He. too.

is troubled with bleeding from the nje. He said he did not know there was blood on the blind in his room, but explained the blood on the shirts by saying that he wiped his hands on the Karment when his nose bled. He saw blood on Evans's jacket that morning, but rone on his apron. When he left hotel at 2 p. m.

he bade Jope good night, and went to Pointer's hotel, where he remained until he came to work at 6 o'clock. Evans was also cautioned before being sworn, but was eager to tell his 'story. He said that just before 2 a. m. he took Jope a drink of whisky.

Did not see the old man after that until body was found in the basement. Witness said he went down with Porter Green. He hurried upstiirs and toll Ross to go for Moore. He denied having" anything to do with the murder, but could not explain how the thread from the apron came on Jope's coat sleeve. He denied using the towel In cellar, saying he thought it unclean to dry his face or hands on towels used pramiscuously.

He expl lined the showing of blood on his hands as coming from a cut made by the raised ede of the ice box. This was the only new evidence given. The jury took t.ie case at p. and after a short deliberation decided to hold Evans for the murder. SECROI.OGICAL HE CO HI).
