had ever paid any money to any officer of
the government to secure an increase or ,ex-
pedition of routes
Cross-examined by Mr. Merrick-Witness
said that In December 1878, he forwarded a
draft for $500 to S. w. Dorsey to pay sundry
expenses; did not send the money to Boone,
because he knew nothing of Boone's connec-
ton with the business. Had written to s.
w. Dorsey instead of Miner, because Peck
requested him to do so; did not know why
Peck had not written directly to S. w.
Dorsey.
Mr.. Merrick wished to know why he had
dragged his brother, a senator, into this
business instead of sending the money to his
partner, Miner
Witness did not believe he had dragged
his brother into it. Had taken that action
because he regarded it as the best course.
Witness was asked why he had written to
his brother that he regarded the Tongue
river route as worth 100000 for the contract
term He answered with seeming frankness
that the statements showed his ignorance of
the business OF running mail routes. Wit
ness was pressed to account for two different
atfidavits upon one route. He acknowledged
having sworn to them. He supposed it was
straight, square work.
Mr.. Merrick-"It is swear work, GER
tainly." He then bluntly asked
witness which of the conflicting
affidavit was lie. Witness was not allowed
to report RerdelPs statements to him in re-
gard to that matter, but managed to get in
an explanation to the effect that one affida-
Wit was intended to correct an error con-
tanned in the other. Witness could not iden-
tify his brothers handwriting; had not read
letter from him since December, 1873; nor
did he know Peck's signature; was no judge
of handwriting,
You know your own handwritingT'
queried the court.
Answer-'I think So"
Court-"I think do.''
The testimony of the witness closed with a
denial of any evil intentions in making the
atfidavits connected with the routes.
Adjourned till Monday.
Much amusement was caused in the court
room during the afternoon by the circulation
of an illustrated humorous paper containing
q sketch OF the star-route trial in 1901

REORGANIZED MORMONS.
Their Conference Now in Session at the
Old Temple in Kirkland, o.

KIRTLAND, O., April 6.-Cold winds and
rains interfered somewhat with the attend
ance at the Mormon reunion, and the organ
ization was not perfected till this afternoon.
Religious services were held last night and
this morning Rev. G. E. Donel of Glen
wood, preaching this morning AT 1:30 the
delegates assembled in the temple, with Rev.
q H. Gurley temporary chairman and E. L.
Kelly secretary of the conference. After
or credentials was appointed. The chair
then introduced Rev. Joseph Smith, jr.,
president of the reorganized church
of Latter Day Saints, who gave a
brief outline of the purpose of the
reunion, the condition of the church, the
outlook for the future, and the programme
for the church conference. Rev. W. w.
Blair was the next speaker He is counsel
lor of the church, and at present missionary
to Utah. Among other things, he said the
conference has some reference to Joseph
Smith, the seer. We see him, poor unlet-
tered boy in the wilds OF New York, perse-
cuted and opposed on every hand. He or
ganized a church with six members in the
backwoods of New York. From that nu-
cleus great church has arisen that has at
bIdCtSQ tnc dllenIlCn Ol JuC civilized WOTlu.
If Joseph Smith was not inspired by God AL
mighty he was the most wonderful man of
this century. We praise him and the work
he performed. Rev. u. H. Gurley made a
short address. Speaking of the Utah
Mormons, or Brighamites, he said
they are dissenters from the
original church. The people of Utah, men
and women, have practiced the meanest
things that ever disgraced the world 1 am
very sorry that such terrible thing as polyg-
amy exists. 1t is a curse black as Egyptian
darkness. 1 do not take stock in any relig-
ion the followers of which do not love the
nation enough to obey its laws. I would
rather have my child rank inidel than a
Utah Mormon practicng polygamy. hope
the United States government will draw a
distinction between the Reorganized Church
of Latter-day Saints and those latter-day
devils in Utah.
This closed the afternoon service. Per-
manent organizations will not be effected be-
fore tomorrow morning. Tonight John w.
Gilbert of Fall River, Mass, preached SER
'uon, assisted by Rev. Rudolph Eppelhauser.

Strange Stories Told bv Survivors

Washington Special to st. Louis Globe Democrat
There are some new things told by the
Jeanette survivors which will not be
brought out by the inVestiga ton, if it con-
tinues to be carried on with the same scrupu-
lous avoidance of anything that might re-
fleet upon a naval officer which has so far
characterized the inquiry. When Ninder-
man was examined at the previous session
he is reported to have left dissatisfied, and
said he wanted to talk, but could not get the
opportunity. Everything said by dead
man was ruled out, because the man was
dead, and verything said by living man
was ruled out because the statement of the
person himself would be tine best evidence as
to the matter. The men consider that the
board in its recent report slighted them, and
they are incensed that they received no COM
mendation for their search for two years for
Chipps party and the labor of bringing the
dead out of the snow-covered desert of the
Lena delta. They say that, furthermore,
they expected Mr.. Bennett to do something
for the wives and families of their comrades
who lost their lives, and that nothing has
been done for any except for Mrs De Long
1t appears that the Captain called the
hands on deck just as they steamed out of
ST. Lawrence Bay and read letter from
James Gordon Bennett in which he bound
himself to provide for all those dependent
upon anyone of the party. should they not
return. Lee left wife, Dunbar daughter,
and other relatives dependent upon them
solely, and the survivors declare they have
not been remembered even with pittance,
while Mrs. De Long was given the interest
on $50, 1000. 1t is stated by the men that the
Captain was sef-willed and showed no con-
sideration for them, and that in addition to
placing Collins under arrest he also degraded
Seaman Star, one of the ablest men of the
party, for a trifiing offense, and for two
months he was put off duty and obliged to
walk in the rear of the sledge party during
the retreat. This was deep humiliation for
an able-bodied man, and is pronounced
foolish piece of business when every availa-
BILE force was needed in the extremity to
which the party was reduced. Mr. Bartlett
says that Mr.. Collins said to him one day be-
fore they left the last island
81 am afraid this will turn out another
Franklin affair If anything should happen
to me, and you get through take ali the
papers you find about me and send them to
the Herald"
Mr.. Bartlett says that he and Ninderman
found Mr.. Collins's body and dug it out of
the snow. and searched his person together
at the time, taking great care of everything
found except small cross upon his breast
which they thought best to leave where it
was. Mr.. Melville was not present at the
time, and made no such remarks as were at
tributed to him.

THE JEANETTE INQUIRY.
Fireman Bartletts Answer to the Ques-
tions of DIR. Collins,

Fireman Bartletts Answer to the Oues-
tions of DIR. Collins
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The Jeannette
court of inquiry convened to-day. The
judge-advocate announced that he had re-
ceived communication from DIR. Collins,
inclosing thirty-five questions which he de-
sired to have put to the witnesses. Fireman
Bartlett was called and the questions read to
him. In reply, witness stated that Collins,
deceased, held the position of an officer on
board the Jeanette. He was saluted as
such and was always treated with the same
courtesy as other officers. Witness had
never heard Captain De Long speak an un-
kind word to Collins. So far as witness
knew, Collins, on the retreat, was treated by
by the men and officers with the same consid-
Grafton shown other officers. After the jean
nette was lost, and when the party reached
land, there was discussion as to the fate of
the other parties, and witness volunteered
to attempta search for them at once, but
was prevented by the general opinion of the
party, based upon the facts that we had no
clothing, no provisions, no transportation
and no knowledge of the country. Danen-
hover offered to go, and did go. Witness
was not aware of any trouble between Mel
vile and Collins.
In answer to aquestion whether, if he had
been in command of the party, he would
have waited as long as Melville did before
trying to discover the others, the witness re-
piled: Il made a proposition to move, which
was discussed by the whole party, Manson
and | agreeing to draw Beach upon a sedge,
as he was unable to walk, owing to frosts,
but the conclusion arrived at by Melville and
Danenhower was that it would be impractic-
able and impossible"
Objection was made and sustained to the
question, Have you any reason to believe
that Collins had upon his person any papers
other than a small note-bookr' Also to the
question, did Collins tell you he had upon
his person letters addressed to parties in New
York?' All papers found upon Collinss
body were turned over to Melville.
Witness had expected, from his conversation
with Collins, that there would be more pa
pers than were found on his body. Witness
was of the opinion that the trip to Belun
might have been made sooner, but it would
have been attended with great suffering and
hardships. He believed, taking all things
into consideration, that everything was
done that could be done to rescue De Longs
party.

TIIDEN AGAIN.
Rumor that He viii Enter for the Presi-
Dental Race.

New YORK, April 6-An Albany special
says that the recent mission of leading poll
tcians of the county Democracy of New
York was not, as has been reported to oppose
the city charter, but to perfect certain ma
chinery for the purpose of galvanizing the
remains OF Tilden and to bring him forward
as a candidate for the presidency. The pro-
gramme has been planned by Tilden, Sam
Randall and certain leading politicians of
Pennsylvania who have spent week in New
York consulting with the sage of Gramercy
Park Lieutenant-governor Hill was brought
into the conference, and Mr. Manning, of the
Albany Argus, who is expected back from
Nassau next week, will take charge of the
programme. Dorsheimer, Cox, Kelly & Co.
were not in the conference. 1t is understood
however that overtures have been made to
Mr.. Kelly that no opposition will be made to
his charter if he will join in the new combi-
nation, and in this way harmonic the party
The scheme is to have New York present
solid front for Samuel Randall for Speaker,
and Pennsylvania is to be made unit for
Tilden at the National Convention. Mr..
Kelly has not yet given in his adherence to
the proposed new programme. Mr.. William
Scott of Erie is to be intrusted with the
plan of harmonizing the Democracy of Penn
sylvania. Dorsheimer and Cox are to be
placated in some way. Cox is in Albany for
the purpose of getting at the bottom of the
movement. There can be no doubt says the
report that Tilden is TO be brought forward
as a candidate and that Mr. Mcdonald of
Indiana, will not be permitted to carry the
New York delegation.

A MURDERER'S DEATH,
Gone "With Golden Slippers and Long White
Robes to Walk the Streets of Glory"

ST. LOUIS, April GA Post-Dispatch spe-
cial from Charleston, Mo-, says: Howard
Underwood was hanged here to-day He
passed quiet night, and this forenoon
dressed in a suit of white prepared for him
at his request There was religious service
in the Jail, Underwood joining in the sing
ing. At 12;45 o'clock the culprit was led to
the scaffold, accompanied by Rev. A. J. Hess,
a Baptist minister. The prisoner then ad-
dressed the crowd, numbering nearly six
thousand. He said: My brothers and sis
ters black and white, l am standing on the
banks of eternity. I am happy to say that
am at rest with Jesus. l am going with
golden slippers and long white robes to walk
up and down the streets of glory. l am in
Jesus and He is in me. 1 want to tell you
all to love each other; be honest and live
right He then sang Precious Name He
showed no signs of fear. The sheriff then
pinioned him, and at o'clock the trap was
sprung. He died in seven minutes, and the
body was cut down. Underwood killed
Belle Lucas, colored woman, by shooting
her and beating her head to pieces more
than year ago."

Items About the Prisoners.

LONDON, April Ga magisterial investiga-
ton will show that the persons arrested in
London, Liverpool, Birmingham and Cork,
are all members of the same organization,
and have been supported by funds regularly
received from America. 1t is reported that
plan of both houses of Parliament was
found on one Of the prisoners
bill will be introduced in the Commons
providing penalties for the possession of ex-
plosives and will probably be enacted dur
ing the coming week The bill imposes a
period of penal servitude upon all persons
found in improper possession OF dynamite
and other explosives of a similar character
1t is probable that within few days the
nitro-glycerine taken to Plumstead marshes
will be removed and rendered harmless by
being spread on plowed land. The re-
ceptacles in which it is contained will be
cleaned and produced as evidence at the
magesterial inquiry

it appears, as he was to have met Fletcher
later in the day. If allowed to keep this en-
gagement the police could have arrested both
men.
1t is reported that Norman has made over
lures to the authorities with the idea OF turn
ing infOrmer

was remarked at this point in the pro-
ceedlngs that clue to Gallaghers connec.
ton with Norman was that the envelope
found on Norman was directed to Gallagher.
and Fletcher's dispatch to Norman asked
him to call at the place which Gallagher
claimed as his residence. The police stated
further that they found at Gallaghers room
more rubber bags like those in the portman-
teau, besides quantity of money and letters
and credit for 5000, dated New York, March
49,
Gallagher here interposed with the remark
chat the much talked about liquid was
merely hydrate chloral, and if the rubber
bags were explosive that was indeed new
discovery.
In respect to the arrest of Dalton alias
OConnor, it was testified that he refused to
give any address except Bowles Reading
Rooms, IA Edward Place, F0lham road. He
was however, searched and some pieces of
fuse and thermometer found.
Dalton here said contemptuously: 1.-THE
fuse you found was merely cigar-lighter'
The police continued that they learned the
Whereabouts OF Dalton's lodging-house by
shadowing him to that address. They found
upon him diary which contained a recipe
for the manufacture of illuminate of mercury
and other chemical compounds.
Dalton here reiterated the denial already
made several times, that he hGd not the
slightest acquaintance with the other prison
ers. or any knowledge of them.
Norman's counsel, VIM Daveton Smyth,
the other prisoners having no legal advisers,
except as he acted incidentally for them,
made little comment upon the testimony,
and confined his remarks to an urgent appeal
on the question of bail, which he asked that
be be allowed to give for his client He said
Norman had been in the country only about
two weeks
Judge Ingham refused to grant the request,
butGallagher's and Norman's money would be
restored to them, and closing the preliminary
examination, said he would remand them
until Thursday without bail.
Additional precautions are taken to guard
the Bow-street prison, and the prisoners,
Norman, Gallagher, Wilson and Dalton, are
carefully watched

LONDON, April GA communication, re-
garded by the police authorities as of great
Importance, was received yesterday evening
by "C' division, and police officer immedi-
ately dispatched to Drury Lane Theater,
where Vincent, director of the Grim
inal investigation department was
witnessing the performance of the Carl Rosa
company. The communication was to the
effect that large quantity of dynamite had
been consigned from Liverpool to an address
within the territory of 'C' division, which
includes Haymarket and Regent street. 1t
is expected that arrests of greater import
ance than those already made Will
soon be effected. A portion of the. nitro
glycerine known to have been made inlthe
birmingham factory is yet untraced. There
fore it is surmised that consignment from
Liverpool originated in Birmingham An
internal machine of the most scientific and
destructive character was found during the
last few days. The police propose to publish
a description of this instrument

work, which, he says is progressing very sat-
isfactorily. Everything will be ready for
publication at the close of the fiscal year.
Indeed, there is little else being done now
than the final compilations and condensation

ton of the report is already in type, and
proof is being read upon the volume of man

Notes and Personals.

The Commissioner of the General Land
Office sent to the Surveyor-general of New
Mexico, to-day, patent for the private land
claim known as the Anton Chico grant. The
land is situated ir San Miguel and Bernalillo

acres.
1t is estimated by persons thoroughly fa-
law reducing letter postage and regulating
the pay of postmasters the receipts of not
more than one office in every four, on gen.
eral average, will be in excess of the post
masters salary. Under the existing law it is
said all the postoffices, however Insignificant,
contribute about two-fifths of their receipts

A Turf Gambler Seeks to Recover His Money.

New York, April GA suit is now pend
ing in the Court of Common Pleas, which
has been brought by Frederick NJ. Stanley
against Alfred H. Cridge and John Doe,
composing the firm of Cridge & Co., book
makers on horse races. Stanley alleges that
in September last, at Sheephead Bay, he
made certain bets with defendant upon
horses to be run. These bets amounted to
$S40 Stanley lost this amount. Plaintiff
also alleges that at the Pimlico race course,
near Baltimore in October, 1882 he lost $40
in bets with defendant; in October 1882, at
Washington he lost $632 in bets with defend
ants, and he now seeks to recover 81 ,SS2 with
interest Stanley sets up the penal code of
Maryland section 153, which says that any
person losing money at the gambling table
may recover it as if it were a common debt,
and may be competent witness to prove
the sums he lost. The court to-day granted
a motion in behalf of defendants to compel
plaintiff to furnish them with the races and
number of the horses upon which he made
the bets
