DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT. TRENTON, N. Dec. 11. Right Rev.

Bishop McFaul, of this city, this afternoon gave his decision providing for a plan for the uniting of the two factions of the United Order of Hibernians now in existence in the United States. One of the factions is known as the Ancient Order of Hibernians of America and the other as the Ancient Order of Hibernians of the United States, affiliated with the Board of Erin. The spilt in the organization occurred in 1SS4. Two of the main points in dispute which have prevented a reuniting of the two bodies have been: First, the question of the organization in this country being under the Jurisdiction of the parent organization in Ireland, and, second, the question of what should constitute eligibility to membership. At the recent National convention of both organizations committees were appointed for the purpose of bringing about a consolidation.

This joint committee met in Atlantic City August last, and decided to refer alt disputed points to Bishop McFaul. The members of both committees were in Trenton to-day, and signed the bishop's decision binding themselves to abide by the same. Those representing the Ancient Order of Hibernians of America were: P. J. O'Conner, of Savannah, National president; John C.

Weadock, Bay City, National vice president; Maurice F. Wilhere, Philadelphia, National director; John P. Murphy, Norwich, National director; James O'Sullivan, Philadelphia, National secretary, and Rev. William F. McLaughlin, of Jersey City.

Those representing the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Board of Erin, were: Rev. Father Phillips, of Plains. National delegate; E. R. Hayes, New Brunswick, National secretary; John P.

Quinnan, Scranton, Joseph McLaughlin. Miles F. Mc-Partland and James H. Murphy, of Brooklyn. The bishop's decision provides: First That the name of the reunited organization shall be the "Ancient Order of Hibernians," with the words "In America" added simply to designate the country wherein the organization is located.

Second The constitution in use previous to the disunion and adopted at the National convention in Cleveland in May, 1894, shall be taken as the groundwork to which all necessary amendments shall be made. At the National convention held by virtue of this decision amendments shall be recommended by a committee of five, and may be adopted by the convention after they shall have received the approval of the arbitrators. Third The qualification for membership shall be: No person shall become a mem ber of this order who is not Irish or of Irish descent through either parent. The bishop said this quantitation has been the cause of much discussion in past years. He is satisfied nevertheless that its retention is necessary for the continuance and growth of the organization.

A more restrictive qualification might perhaps be better in Europe, but in America it would be suicidal owing to the frequent marriages of Irish and their Fourth The "quarterly communication," after the National convention is held in accordance with this decision, shall be manufactured and issued, subject to the approval of the National chaplain, by the chief executive officer of the order in America, until the European branches of the order shall have united, then the question of receiving the "quarterly communication" from Europe may be considered. Five A bond of friendship and unity and Christian charity shall still exist between the American and European boards. This bond shall be the transfer card from either European branches, which shall be only honored by the order in America. Sixth The plan of reorganization which hereto attaches is a part of this decision, and embracing all matters appertaining to representation, credentials, property, transfer card, ritual, government of the organization, etc. The plan of reorganization provides that all of the subordinate divisions of both orders shall remain intact, and become the organized unit of the consolidated organization.

URLING THE MOST LIBERAL FOR EVERYBODY! From December 20th to January 1st, 1388. State Superintendent of Puhiic Instruction Working for Country Children. HARRISBURG, Dec. 1L The advance sheets of the annual report of Dr. Nathan C.

Schaffer, superintendent of public instruction, for the fiscal year ending June 1 last, have just been issued. The report shows that the number of school districts has reached total enrollment of pupils during the year ending June 7 was the average monthly cost per pupil in Philadelphia was $2 26, and for the State outside of Philadelphia, $1 22. and the total expenditure was 09. Of this amount $1,113,379 02 was expended for text books and supplies, $3,688,604 S6 for building purposes and 73 for maintenance. Dr.

Schaffer suggests that the powers of school boards be limited in the amount of money to be expended for apparatus for graded schools. He declares the State appropriation of $5,500,000 has put Pennsylvania in the front rank of States that have advanced education. Of the county Institutes Dr. Schaffer says: "Comparison of overflowing houses which greet the school officers with the audiences of the early days shows how the interest in the public schools has grown everywhere. In some of the cities and larger boroughs the high school attendance has almost doubled in the last five years.

Without doubt more should be done to establish high schools in rural districts, and to give commercial and industrial education In both high schools. The era of manual training has hardly begun to dawn outside of Philadelphia." The report concludes as follows: "Under the act for the distribution of the school appropriation more money will go to the sparsely settled rural districts. This should be used to secure more efficient teachers and there lengthen the school term. It is to be regretted that all efforts to lengthen the minimum term from six to seven months have thus far ended in failure. If the country boys and girls are as good as those of the city, they deserve equal educational facilities." AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE.

A largely attended meeting of Republican representatives in Congress was held to-night at the river and harbor committee room to devise means for securing a change in the present civil service law.

It was finally determined that he appoint a committee of seven, the chairman of which shall be Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, to examine the bills pending before the committee on reform of the civil service, and report to a subsequent meeting of this conference.

BARBER SUSPECTED OF BEIXG A SECOND HOLMES WEEPS MOST DRAMATICALLY. TELLS HOW THEY ALL DIED.

Grsciome Story of the Passing of Hl TVlTes and Relatives. REMAXDED OS LARCEXT CHARGE. Special to The Pittsburg Post. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.

Weeping upon the stand, Charles Zanoli, the barber whom the police suspect of being another Holmes, and who has collected insurance upon the lives of four wives, a mother-in-law, a daughter and an employe, was today remanded for examination on the charge of grand larceny. "I demand that the bodies of my wives and that of my mother-in-law and Schmidt be exhumed, he said, as he vigorously worked his big handkerchief. I demand it for my boy's sake. It will be shown that I am not a murderer." The body of Jennie Suhmer, which is Interred at Astoria, L. will be exhumed some time soon.

Other bodies have long since reached a degree of decay which would baffle the skill of the expert chemists who will be put to work looking for traces of poison. In the meantime a dozen detectives are The Barber, Whose Four Wives Are Dead. ransacking the poison book of every drugstore in town to find out if Zanoli, Eraune or Suhmer, or anyone of whatever name who can be identified with the barber, bought poison in the last two years. Zanoli's counsel at the examination today stated that the prisoner was anxious that the police should have every opportunity to assure themselves that the curious sequence of deaths were from natural causes. In his affidavit, asking permission to exhume the body District Attorney Olcott merely states that "it Is believed that the deceased came to her death through unnatural causes, and through, the felonious act of another." Searching; for Points.

Other facts which are construed to appear suspicious are cropping out under the vigorous delving of police and detectives. The journeymen barbers who bearded with Zanoli seemed to have found his coffee strong at times. Several of them were very ilL One of them died of sunstroke. It is a remarkable fact, too, that in the cases of Schmidt, supposed to have fallen victim to the rays of the sun, and of the wives, who all passed away from apoplexy, the symptoms were much alike. All the physicians who were called in, for Zanoli saw that all who were near and dear to him had medical treatment, noted something suspicious about the cases, but not enough to justify them in taking any action.

Zanoli wept most dramatically at his hearings to-day. He has his 10-year-old son brought from New Jersey, and when they met his tears broke out afresh, and he again declared that he wanted all the bodies dug up. To Police Captain McClusky he has made a long statement, telling how he met and married his four wives, and how they and the others died. "My name is Charles Zanoli," he said. I was born in Wiesbaden.

I came to the United States in 1876, and worked at different places, both in New York and in other cities as a barber. In 1SS3 at No. 41 Spring street I met my first wife, "Marie Dern.

171 Elizabeth street, October 17, 1894. The policies were made out in favor of my wife, but I collected the insurance. I had my wife insured in the Prudential and Metropolitan Insurance Companies for $206, an equal amount in each company. She died on June 14, 1S95. I saw an advertisement in a Ger-: man newspaper of a woman who wanted employment as a housekeeper.

I swered the advertisement, and in that vway met Lena Werner, who had a daughter named Lena. I engaged her as a housekeeper, and In September of 1895 I married her. On October 19 of that year my daughter Lottie died. She was insured in the Prudential and Metropolitan companies for $100. Money Lost on This Wife.

"My second wife, her daughter and my son lived in the rear of my shop. Two months after I married my second wife she died. She was insured in the Knights and Ladies of Honor for $2,000. She was also Insured for a small amount in the Prudential Company, but she did not live long enough after that policy was taken out for me to collect it. "After her death I put her child and mine in the Roman Catholic orphan asylum.

I read an advertisement in a German paper of another woman who wanted a position as housekeeper. In that way I met Louise Herzig. I engaged her as housekeeper, and told her my name was Braune. We were married in the Seventy-third street house in March, 1S96. "In July following Schmidt died, and representing that it was Charles Zanoli who had died.

I collected the money on Charles Zanoli's life. "I had my third wife's (Louise) life insured in the Prudential and John Hancock companies for $250 in each company. I also had her Insured in the Golden Cross society for $2,000. On December 13. 1S95, following Schmidt's death, imy wife Louise died.

I buried her in the game grave with Schmidt. "In April, 1897, I sold my shop at No. 405 street, and moved to No. 24S East One Hundred and Twenty-fifth. While living there under the name of Suhmer I met Jennie Schlesin through reading an advertisement in a German paper.

She came to my house as a housekeeper, and a short time afterward I married her. I had her insured in the Order of United Friends for $1,000. and in the Metropolitan for $W0. She died last August. August 9 I think it was, of heart failure, coma and typhoid fever." MATAMORAS, Mexico, Dec.
