Alleged Persecution of a Minister.

CoRRy, Pa, April 24-Professor A. c.
Dixon, of Iowa. delivered two lectures here
in the First NJ. E. Church, in the early part
of last week. He also preached in the same
church. After Dixon left town, A. J. Mar
chant, pastor of the church here, received a
letter from the Iowa church with which
Dixon claimed to be affiliated, stating that he
is a dead-beat and a fraud, and that his lecture
is purely visionary. Furthermore he is UNI
duly fond of the ladies, and has wife living
in Vermont, from whom he has been unable
to get divorce because of her estimable
character and his own unsavory reputation.
An attempt was made to procure the publi-
cation of this letter, but the paper to which
it was sent declined to use it. Dixon denies
all the charges, and demands full investiga-
ton

THE CHARGES AGAINST HILL.

MIR. Murch Objects 10 Mr.. Robinson, and the
Latter Will Withdraw from the Committee.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Assistant Secre-
tary New, chairman of the Hill investigat-
ing committee, received to-day long letter
from Representative Murch explaining
his position with reference to the pending
investigation. The letter is for the present
withheld from the press, but it is known
that Mr.. Murck makes several objections to
the management of the investigation. Of
these the most important is that Assistant
Solicitor Robinson, who, Mr.. Murch asserts
is partial to Mr.. Hill is allowed to sit as
a member of the committee When
this objection was made known
to Secretary Folger he at once conferred
with Mr.. Robinson on the subject. The lat
ter said that while he felt sure he could act
justly and conscientiously in the investiga-
ton, he was perfectly willing to withdraw if
there was the least reason for such course
Secretary Foger says that substitute for
Mr.. Robinson will be selected in a few days
not because he feels the slightest doubt OF
the latter's perfect integrity, but in order
that no charge of favoritism can possibly be
made against any member of the committee
Ex-Representative Murch, of Maine. said
to ali Associated Prers reporter, tonight, in
explanation OF his position in the matter of
investigating tHe charges against SuperVlS-
ing Architect Hill, of the Treasury Depart
ment, that he had no personal interest in
pursuing the investigation. and that he
would take no part in pressing the charges
before the Treasury committee unless it
became evident that the inquiry would be a
fair one, and unless he were allowed
counsel fees and expenses of witnesses
In the event of failure to secure fair nves-
tigation, and the presence of necessary wit
nesses, he proposed to lay charges of con-
spiracy to defraud the government against
Hill and Others before the grand jury of the
District. Mr. Murch said, further, that the
charges he had preferred were drawn up by
Secretary Folger himself after he (Mr
Murch) had stated in a speech in the House
of Representatives that the architects Office
of the Treasury was rotton throughout. The
Secretary, he said, had written him, after
that speech, asking for specifi-
cations, and these he had furnished him.
On the strength of the allegations therein
made. Secretary Folger had appointed an in
vestigating committee The personnel of
the committee was not satisfactory to Mr..
Murch, and he has asked the Secretary to
put at least one outsider upon it.
The Journals correspondent telegraphs:
ut is an open secret tonight that Mr.. Robin
son will be retired from the investigating
commission, and that his place will be filed
by another man. The Investigation promises
to pan out after all"

MORE TEwKsBURY ToUGHNEss.


Boston, April 24-The Tewksbury investi-
CATION was opened by Attorney Brown, who,
after alluding to the removal of the trustees
by the Governor, commenced to review the
latter's statements regarding the removal
made in an interview with the reporters last
night, but the Governor interrupted, and
protested against revival of the discussion
of topics not germaine to the investigation
He (the Governor) had right to express his
personal opinion in whatsoever manner he
chose. Brown was about to talk of some
thing for which he (the Governor) was not
responsible to the committee He was alone
responsible to the people of the State Ire
mendious applause
After considerable pickering it was decided
that Brown should not have the privilege of
making his intended remarks. Margaret
Perry, of Boston, testified that the nurses at
Tewksbury were rough in their treatment Of
patients, striking them, and holding pillows
over the mouths of insane patients to pre-
vent them asking for necessaries. Witness
detailed outrages inflicted upon various in
mates from time to time.
Mrs. Abbe E. Wheeler saw a nurse named
Dunning jump upon the stomach of a pa
tient with her knees six times because she
would not take medicine. Thomas Marsh,
jr., was very familiar with the nurses.
Mrs. Bridget Doian had daughter and
grandchild at Tewksbury last February, and
made several attempts to get them out, as
her daughter asked to be taken away; did
not succeed and her daughter died at Tewks-
bury. The child had been treated so badly
that it lost its speech and could not walk
While her daughter was dying of consump-
ton she was fed upon piece of black, sour
fish, two ater-soaked potatoes and bowl
of SKINNED milk. This was but four weeks
ago. Word was not sent to her until after
her daughters death. Witness was not
drunk at Tewksbury, but only excited.
Some of her answers were very contradict
ory.
Two tanners testified that certain human
skins were brought to them to be tanned by
a student but could not say they were from
Tewksbury Adjourned.

A CABINET MEETING.


Various Questions Discussed, Including the
Dynamite War.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The meeting of
the cabinet to-day lasted about an hour and
a half. All of the heads of departments
were present, including Mr.. Gresham, the
new Postmaster-general The rules and
regulations prepared by the Civil-service
Commission, which were recently submitted
to the President for his approval were pre-
sented by the latter and after a short dis
cussion of them, copy was given to each
member of the cabinet for examination
There was some discussion of the question
whether the National Board of Health Or the
Marine Hospital Service should direct and
control the expenditure of $l00, 900 appropri-
ated for the prevention and suppression of
epidemic diseases, but no conclusion was
reached. The Marine Hospital Service had
control of the epidemic fund last year. but
their authority to disburse it is now disputed
by the National Board of Health, and the
question has been referred TO the President
for his decision. There was also some infor-
NAL conversation at the meeting to-day with
regard to the evidence furnished by news
papers that persons in the United States ere
actively engaged in aiding and directing
the operations of the dynamite
plotters in England. This conversa-
tion did not grow out OF any
official correspondence on the subject, for no
documents of any kind relating to it were
presented but there is reason to believe that

treatment many in a precarious condition.
The county Jail has been converted into
hospital. The course of the cyclone was
southwest to northeast, and passed entirely
through the county, wrecking everything in
its path"
The Times Democrat special gives the fol-
lowing complete list of deaths in Beauregard
from the cyclone: Mary MITCHELL Anna

John Ross, Miss E. Terrell, Jerry Meyer (col-

son; John S. Terrell, Sandifer and wife, Joe
Hurst (colored) Caleb Ellis, child of Malissa
Bush, child of Freeman Easterling.
At Beauregard to-day, all was hustle and
confusion. Gangs of men were at work get
ting out goods from wrecked stores, and
scores of OK teams hauling recovered prop
erty away. Homeless people were getting
together their remaining effects and moving
them in wagons and carts. A construction
train is receiving the debris of broken box
cars. A relief committee, headed by L. o.
Bridewell, is Systematically at work issuing
rations apd distributing clothing Drs. Leh-
man and Fitch are also assisting the wounded.
Assistance also came from Jackson. Utica
and other points.
In their rounds among the wounded sad
scenes were witnessed, and the groans and
means were heart-rendng. Particularly
touching were the little children, num-
bers of them scarcely more than
babies; scarcely a murmur was heard
from the little ones, and none complained.
One little girl of three years wanted imam
ma to tum and fix arm"-poor, battered and
bruised little arm; no one could fix it but
mamma, and mamma was i'll the next room,
all unconscious of her baby. Hurt unto
death was a fve-year-old boy, whose face
was bruised and battered, and whose head
was gashed by ugly cuts. He was uncon-
scious but even with his brain clouded and
not knowing where he felt pain he moaned
and rolled in bed. The little boy is still un-
conscious tonight.

General Crook Starts on His Expedition
Against the Mountain Apaches.
ST. LOUIS, April A.-Advlces from New
Mexico say that General Crook broke camp
at Wilcox yesterday morning and started for
Guadaloupe canyon with 800 troops. 200
Indian scouts and twenty-one wagons. In
talk with General Crook the Indian scouts
told him they wanted him to lead them
against the Chiricohaus until all were exter-
minated or captured, as they could not hope
for peace on the reservation themselves until
that was done. The expedition is admirably
appointed and supplied for ninety days. On
arrival at Guadaloupe canyon Captain Craw-
ford and Lieutenant Gatewood, commanding
the scouts with one company OF troops under
a picked officer, will penetrate the Businesses
of the Sierra Madre mountains, and the re-
mainder of the command be posted along
the boundary Captain Dougherty has been
ordered to join his command at Fort
Apache to guard against anticipated trouble
with the White Mountain Apaches.

is Absolutely Known.
New York Herald.
The spring winds and tornadoes which
have begun their desolating work in the
South ana West will afford meteorologists
fresh opportunities of studying the much
mooted question of the maximum force of
the wind In the current number of Long
mans Magazine Professor Hcughto1, OF the
Royal Naval College at Greenwich, attempts
to elucidate Wind Force and How 1t Is
Measured" but he is candid enough to tell
his readers that on the latter part of his sub
ject his article is 'eminently unsatisfactory"
because as yet mo measurements of the
wind have been made The imperfec-
ton of all thermometers yet devised
more or less vitates their read
ings, and long before the severest
tornado or hurricane wind attains its maxi
mum force the best thermometer is invaria-
bly, disabled. In recently-published re-
port on the character of 600 tornadoes, by
Sergeant j. P. Finley, of the Signal Service,
it is stated that 1.-The velocity of the wind
within the cloud vortex was variously esti-
mated at from seventy to 800 miles an hour,
the average being 1892 miles" This is
startling estimate. A velocity of 800 miles
an hour corresponds, on the lowest basis of
calculation, to a pressure of about three
fourths of ton on square foot. Such a
force is totally incompatible with the utmost
pressure recorded or indicated by the W ind
gauge in the most disastrous hurricanes
In the almost unprecedented British cyclone
OF Oct. IA, 1881, pressure of fifty-three
pounds was registered at Greenwich almost
at the very moment when thirty mag
niticent trees near by were blown
down. and no recorded hurricane has risen
to velocity of more than $50 miles an hour,
which would correspond to pressure of only
eghty-one pounds per square foot, by Mr.
Laughton's method of calculation. Aside
however, from nice questions of anemometry
it is important to all people to know that the
limit of wind pressure even at sea level has
not been determined, and that dealing with
this unknown quantity they must not uu-
derrate it. AT a meeting of the London In
stitution of Civil Engineers last year one of
its foremost representatives well said: En-
gineers are not at present very far advanced
in their knowledge with regard to wind"
The large mum ber of houses and other struct-
ures blown down in this country shows that
our architects and engineers have something
to learn in this direction.

DANvILLE. April 24-William T. Dodson
arrested at Franklin Junction for the muir
der of negro, reported yesterday, confesses
to hiring two negroes to bring MIN body for
dissection, ne purporting to be physician.
He carried the body into an upper room of
the house occupied by himself, wrapped it
in bed clothing, poured kerosene over it,
fixed lighted candle on it, and went away
His mistake was in cutting the candle so long
that the house did not take fire during the
night, it being his purpose to burn the house
and let it appear that he himself had been
burnt in it, that the family might obtain the
amount of a life policy recently procured.
