General Buffers Speech.

LYNN, MASS, September 4.-General
Butler delivered the fifth of a series OF
campaign speeches before an audience
of at least four thousand people in
Music Hall tonight. The spacious
building was crowded from pit to dome
and hundreds were turned away from
the door. The General appeared in
GOOD spirits and addressed the vast au.
dience with his accustomed vigor and
emphasis. The entire speech was main
" devoted to the recent disaster on
the Eastern railroad at Revere. lie
claims that the primary cause of the
affair lay in the inefliciency of the
hoard of management forgetting that
the Eastern railroad company had
made many an endeavor to effect
consolidation with the corpor:.
alton controlling the Boston and
Marine railroad. He urged that
sucb a consolidation should have
taken place, and that the Eastern rail-
road people were to be blamed for not
etfecting the Revere disaster. "Why,
he asked, "has not the right to consoli,
date been asked of the Legislature
Because that road, like others, has been
run for individual gain and not the
safety of the people" The speaker ss r
went on to contrast the low pay OF the
railroad employees with the degrees OF
labor which is expected Of them, say
inc that an engine driver requires more
of the high qualities with which God
can endow man than does the Governor
Of Massachusetts, and yet he does not
receive that amount of pay Tor MS
work. Pay your men, he said, sum
equal to the value OF their labor and we

BROOKLYN.
Van Buskirk Abortion Case.

BROOKLYN, September 4.-Judge
Troy, of the Kings county Court ol
Sessions, delivered his charge to the
Grand Jury to-day in the case OF DR..
Perry and Madame Van Busklrk' un,
der trial for performing an abortion on
and causing the death OF Miss Post.
After delivering the usual instructions
as to the powers and duties of the jury,
Judge Troy remarked on the character
of the case before him, denouncing the
wretches who participate in the hldeous
traffic and who openly proclaim their
foul and murderous business through
the advertising columns OF newspapers,
to the great dishonor OF the press and
of the law which permits the press to
dishonor itself by acting for merce-
nary consideration as the confederate,
accessory and auxiliary OF this class
of foul homicidal miscreants. SO great
is the evil, he said, that unless checked
by further legislation and the rigorous
enforcement Of present laws, 1t Will be-
come a national reproach as q crime
tolerated peculiarly by American laws
and public opinion, and hoped the next
Legislature would remedy the defect
He then read the statute relating to abb
ortion, and closed by earnestly advising
the Grand jury to do their duty IN re;
gard to this crime as they do in regard

fact bearing on the relationship existing
between the two, nor was it clearly
shown that he was present in New
York at the time that the murdered
girls body was taken from Rozenwig
house in the trunk, to the Hudson river
railroad depot. In relation to this mat
ter, the belief is gaining ground that the
woman who went with the trunk to the
depot belongs to Paterson, and that
Conklin was the man with whom she
shook hands at the depot, as described
by the boy Parks.
While the events connected with
Conklin's suicide were transpiring in
Paterson, the police were exerting re-
newed activity in New York. Rosa,
the daughter Of Rosenwig, and Abram
Seal, the peddler, were both placed
under arrest. Mrs. Rosenwig, how
ever, could not be found. This action
was doubtless taken in accordance with
the belief that all the parties in Rosen-
wigs house, in Second avenue, at the
time OF the arrival there Of the untortu-
nate Alice Bowlsby, were cognizant OF
her arrival there, aud OF her death, aud
of the subsequent disposition OF her
body. This belief originated IN a
confession and partial statement made
on Thursday evening to Warden Bren-
nan, at Bellevue Hospital, by the woman
Jane johnson, in which the latter &C
knowledges that q young woman, an
swering Miss Bowlsby's description, in
physique and dress, entering Rosenwigs
house on Wednesday afternoon Of
last week, preceded by the Doc
tor" who came into the house
in great haste. The young woman was
taken to a private room up stairs imme-
diately upon her arrival. She also
states that Rosa, Rosenwigs daughter,
said to her, on asking who the lady was,
that she was patient who had come to
visit her father. On the following day
johnson asked Rosa if the young wo-
man was still up stairs, but Rosa replied
that she had been taken away in
hack during the night by friends who
had called for her. johnson says that
she believed the story until the excite
ment over the case arose. On Saturday
morning (the morning Of the day upon
which the trunk was brought to the
depot) Miss Rosenwig told her (John.
sony to 60 and take the children out
riding. She remained away about an
hour and half. Rosa and the two
younger children accompanied her. This
is all she remembers ofthe circumstances
connected with the presence OF the
woman in the house. From other por-
tions of her statement, it is clear that
both Mrs. Rosenwig and Rosa knew all
about the presence and condition Of the
young woman who went to the house
on Wednesday while she remained in
the house, and also as to what became
OF her after her coming. The evidence
is absolutely conclusive that it was
Alice Bowlsby who sought the fatal
house on Wednesday, and that the body
OF the dead girl was taken away from
the house in the trunk that lel the
house in that interregnum OF one hour
and half on Saturday while the wo
man johnson was absent with the chill.

his bravado, and shows in his demean-
or, since the identification Of Alice
Bowlsby, all the proofs Of detected guilt.

the present line. These facts are
known to every reader Of the newspa'
pers. We have to conjecture what the
programme will be when this con-
nection is accomplished. 1t may be
probable that that company will
abandon altogether the present line
from Benwood to Grafton, thus leay-
ing Marion county without railroad
facilities. This may appear chimeri-
cal to those who have not given the
subject any special thought; but still it
is within the range OF probabilities.
Ask yourselves the question, What use
will the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company have for the line from Ben
wood to Grafton when the connection
through Pennsylvania to Cumberland
is completedY' And in searching for
reasons to induce satisfactory answer
you will probably conclude that ii is not
improbable that that portion of the
present line Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad may be discontinued at no dis
tant day. The best you can hope is
that it will be continued as sort Of
half:forsaken, one-horse affair, not un-
like the one near New Orleans, as de-
scrihed by wag in that city, who.
upon being inquired Of by a traveller
what was meant by the railroad COM
pany's advertisement, "trl-weekly pas
trains, answered "Sir itmeans
that the train goes up one week and
tries to get back the next
Aside from these considerations, the
route now being surveyed is connect
ing link in an airline route from Mem
phis, Tennessee, to New York, which
must and will be built in the near fu-
ture. and this survey being completed,
might be the means of attracting atten-
ton to this particular route and hasten
the time when such a line will be un-
dertaken. 1t may be true that as a
local line it would not offer sufficient
inducements to engage the necessary
capital in its interest to build it, but in
the connection last spoken OF, there is a
good prospect that the money expended
in its survey will be as bread cast
upon the waters.

Accidents.

On last Wednesday evening, as Hon.
James II. Brown and John A. Truslow,
ESQ, were returning from an anti-Con-
vention meeting held at Maiden on
that evening, the horse that they were
driving, in a buggy being young and
wild, got frightened and ran of. They,
succeeded in keeping him in the road
until they crossed the bridge at Camp
bells creek GAP; when the buggy upset,
throwing both gentlemen on the ground
badly injuring both Of them. Judge
Browns arm was fractured but not
broken, his head and face were also in,
iured. Mr.. Truslow was badly bruised
in the head and face, but no limbs were
broken. They were kindly cared for by
Mr.. Stanley and others, who secured
the services of Dr.. Parks, who relieved
their wounds. They are both improv-
ing. The buggy was a total wreck

1t is a disputed point whether the use

Was hen. Buffers Father Hanged
From the SprInQfield Republicanl

From the Springfield Republican.
General Butler is said TO allege, in
excuse for some Of his foulness last week
that the Republican charged him with
being the son OF a man who was hanged.
OF course we did no such thing, but we
should have been as forgetful as Butler
himself if we had omitted to state that
there was an opinion that Captain But
Ter, OF Deerfeld New Hampshirs, was
hanged, and this opinion is still current
among the New Hampshire people
We do net assume il TO be true, but il is
worth mentioning that Colonel Joseph
Cilley, a soldier Of 1872, a Senator in
Congress in 1916, and cousin OF the
Buffers, told an acquaintance ten or
twelve years since, that Captain Butler
was generally thought to have been
hanged for piracy in the West Indies.
1t is well known that for several years
the Gulf Of Mexico and the waters Of
Cuba were infested with pirates, some
ofwhom were Americans, and who we're

expedition in 1913. Ii 10 among these
buccaneers that tradition puts General
Buffers father; but upon what evidence
the tradition rests we have not heard
and do not regard the matter as ofmuch
importance. Inasmuch, however, "a
Butler expects to be chosen Governor
on the strength OF having hanged a
rebel" II may be as well for him to
show that there were no hangings in
his own family in the first halt ol the
century.

WASHINGTON.
The Five Per Cent. Loan.

WASHINGTON, September A large
number Of applications have been made
at the Treasury Department for sub
scriptions to the new five per cent. loan
since the two millions offered by the
Secretary in May last have been alb
sorbed. The officers of the Treasury
having the loan in charge have in all
cases returned the applications with
the reply that all loan subscriptions
have been closed and no more will be
received. 1t is not known what course
the Secretary proposes to pursue in re-
lation to the three hundred millions oi
five per cent. which remain OF the new
loan under the funding bill, but the i'm
preston prevails in financial circles
that no more new loans will be offered
for months to come and that when Mr..
Boutwell, decides to place more of the
new loan in the market he will offer all
these classes of bonds authorized under
the funding act in equal portions OF
each class unless Congress shall in the
meantime authorize him to withdraw
the four and half and four per cent.
from the market altogether.
Indian News.
kilograms have been received from

Presidential Ayarice and now IL
Operates.

The Brooklyn (N. " Edgleis respon-
sible for the following explanation Of
President Grants unusual and protrac-
ted stay at Long Branch. 1t is a mis-
erable exhibition of what greed for
gain will sometimes compel a man to
to do. The Eagle says:
"a statement is published ia the
newspapers, which iftrue, ought to ex-
cite the anger and the commiseration Of
every loyal man in the land. The
President of the United States is
declared to be virtually a prisoner In
his cottage by the sea, at Long Branch.
The fact that he has been incarcerated
through his own folly hardly tempers
the modification which the nation
will feel on ascertaining that its
Chief Executive is detained two
hundred miles away from the National
Capital, and that he cannot return to it,
except for a day or two at time, with
out violating an agreement up to which
he is held by some unpatriotc Shylock.
The way OF it is this: 1t seems to he
admitted that the cottage which the
President occupies at Long Branch was
presented to him, but it was assumed
that it was placed at his disposal with
out expressed conditions. 1t is OF
course implied, in such cases, that in
the distribution OF the public patronage
those who do the handsome thing by
the President shall not be forgotten,
and it is due to President Grant to say
that he has regarded these little under
standings as binding upon him, and has
carried out all that could possibly be
expected of him, and generally in con-
temptuous defiance Of public opinion.
But, it is alleged, in the case OF the
donor OF the Long Branch cottage, now
in the Presidents possession, that he
transferred it from motives specially
base and sinister. lie is, it seems,
largely interested in real estate at Long
Branch, and shrewdly suspecting the
presence of the Executive there during
the summer would attract attention to
the place, hel p to give it a sort OF stand
ing for fashion, and in this way advance
the value Of his real estate, he gave
Grant cottage, but with the dastardly
stipulation that the President should
live in it during the whole summer, no
matter what might he the pressure OF
public business. So it comes to pass
thatt the President is virtually a prisoner
at the Branch. He is to be sure work
ing out his cottage, so to speak,
but his engagement has grown to be
peculiarly irksome. Long Branch,
despite the Presidents presence, has
been q failure this year. The weather
has been against it, for it has been
broken and inclement. Now that the
nights are cold, and the days gloomy,
while the summer is mot over, as laid
down in the almanac, the Presidents
position is really pitiable. He is per
haps the only visitor at Long Branch
who is under obligation to stay there
until, bv the closing Of the hotels, he IL
relieved from his post"
That is not a very pleasant situation
for the Chief Magistrate OF the Republic
but it is one for which he is respons
bic. Can't some greedy office-seeker
relieve him, and take compensation II
a lucrative appointment.
