Oaa Of the on dts Of the city IA the flight
Yesterday Of w, II, Komblc, one of the
Pennsylvania legislature brbo'aRoT. lie
was member of the Pennsylvania logisla-
tuFe m with tour Others members OF the
same llk, all Republicans, wal. bribcd 10 sup
port measure pending before the lrgIsla'
ture. When indicted no
PLEADED GUILTY.
Hoping that u light fine would BIO imposed,
which tho Governor would remit, lIo was,
however, mistaken In his expectations and
was prosecuted very vigorously by Attorney
General Palmer, ind he Ia now fugitive
from that justice he outraged, lie and his
friends arc very bitter against the Attorney
General, claiming that he should not have
pushed the oase SO far rs tho guilty parties
were Republicans Gle has been unreason'
ably dl-oyal TO bis party and lts interests
Mr.. Kemblo says. He further says "the
ofense of bribery Is not " serious moral
one.n This may be tho Republican dea 81
fraud and corruption, and from tho amount
Of II found Ia that party, II certainly il,
but honest men aro not willing 10 subscribe
10 any such doctrine,
Quito gale blew here yesterday, and was
the occasion Of
SAD ACCIDENT.
Two timers, Peter Piper aud Patrick
Cantwell were putting some tin roofing on
the armory Of tho Seventh egiment Of State
Guards when sudden gust of wind, which
was blowing fifteen miles nm hour, lifted tho
sheet of tin twenty-five feet long and three
wide and hurled them over the parapet of
the wall 10 the street pavement below
Piper died in few minutes from his injuries
and Cantwell, with his skull fractured and
both arms and legs broken, was removed to
his home where he survived only short
time.
One of the lions of tho city now Is
COUNT pE LEssgPs,
OF canal digging fame. He ia being most
Hospitality entertained by our people, and
expresses himself MS delighted with
America. In answer TO the question MS TO
whether the financial part of his scheme has
taken definite form he responds "No fur
Their than that expressed previously, | will
give the United States the same chance to
subscribe S60,000000 TO the project, If they
do not accept it will be their own fault.
When success Is attained they will be with
out any stock. Inn often asked about the
political part Of my scheme There is no
politics in IL. No country shall own tho
,,ill bnlnpn Ia tln nnpplu who
build IL with their money, be they English,
Dutch or French, or people of NIL nations"
He doesn't seem TO think well Of Captain
Eads' ship railway project but expresses no
opposition TO its being built. lie prefers
the canal and says he will yet construct 1t
He either does not appreciate the status OF
this country ON the political phase of his
scheme, or else hevery shrewdly conceals his
views on the subject. We shall, perhaps,
hear more from him on the political part OF
the business when he returns 10 France. He
probably thinks that France ard Great Bri.
tan will interfere to prevent tho United
States government from enforcing the Mon
roe doctrine. If they should, then we will see
what we will see,
Mr.. Hugh j. Jewett, one Of the Presden-
tial boomers, yesterday donated one hundred
dollars to the Herald Irish fund
Yesterday was the opening day in this city
of the Ninth Annual meeting OF the
AMERICAN FISH CULTURAL ASSOCIATION.
Mr.. Robert B, Roosevelt, who is Seth Green's
candidate for the Presidency, presided. Mr..
Roosevelt read paper on Capitalization of
Fish" and Mr.. Seth Green one on Cali
fornia Trout" Mr.. Green said that at the
Association hatchery there were now sixteen
thousand -year-old, and thirty-four thou
sand yearling California trout, the product
of five hundred spawn obtained IN 1912 lie
said these troat would do we'll in Eastern
waters, and were far superior for sporting
purposes to the brook trout, as they grew
faster and weighed more when grown.
The culture of fish seems to be each year
attracting more attention and becoming more
widespread. The time is not far distant when
the streams and lakes of Texas will all be
stocked with game fish and their protection
insured by proper laws.
