ing four hours behind. The Western wires
were also crowded, principally those to Chi.

disposition on the part of the company to
meet the demands of the strikers, and

been effected was enphatically denied by

that the Chicago dispatch stating that Bos-

Pension Swindle in Philadelphia-Arrest of
the Participants,

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-On June % last,
an application for pension by Mrs. Priscilla
Carpenter, for the death of her husband,
John e. Carpenter, was passed by the pen
sion office, and the papers, bearing that date,
were forwarded by Pension Agent Sickles.
Yesterday woman purporting to be Mrs.
Carpenter called at the Pension Office and
made demand for the money. A voucher
was prepared and the alleged Mrs. Carpen-
ter signed her "mark," and two men who
accompanied her signed their names-George
Smith and Henry Frank. A check on the
sub-treasury for $1,7S5 was drawn and
handed the woman. She appeared at the sub
treasury this morning and drew the money.
Soon afterward the woman reported to the
police that she had not been given a
fair proportion of the money. She said
her name was Lillian L. Briggs, of Whining
ton, Del; had never seen either of the men
until yesterday, when she met them on the
street and she was persuaded by them to i'm
personate Mrs. Carpenter and obtain the
money. After securing the money to-day,
she said Frank seized the package and ran
away. A detective arrested both men. Smith
was recognized as George Rankin, a pro-
fessional bail-goer. When Frank was searched
81, ,635 of the money was found in his pos
session. The prisoners were arragned before
United States Commissioner Gibbons, and
Frank and Rankin were committed in de-
fault of $4,000 bail. The woman was held
in 81 900 bail as a witness.

Orth Stein Sentenced to Twenty five Years.
Imprisonment.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KANSAS CITY, July 25.-Argument in the
Stein case closed at 10:40 last night, and at 10
o'clock this morning the jury brought in a
verdict of murder in the second degree, with
a sentence of twenty five years in the peni-
tentiary: Stein appeared in the courtroom
at o'clock, and was pale as he sat anxiously
listening for tidings from the jury-room, but
those who watched him closely could detect
no outward evidence of the emotions that
worked within. He spoke to but few, except
his attorneys and relatives, but kept his eye
upon the jury-room almost continually. AS
time passed and no report came from the
jury, the impression that verdict would not
be reached grew stronger, and was fully dis
cussed, Shortly before 10 o'clock a knock on
the door leading to the jury-room silenced
conversation, and every one pushed forward
and glanced in one direction. The door
swung open, and the jury slowly filed into
the box There was nothing about the ap-
pearanoe of the men to inspire the defendant
with any feeling of relief. Their faces wore
d AOOk WHICH COulQ not De mlSl0terpreted.
A verdict had been determined upon. 1t was
plain that it was not verdict of acquittal
Stein and mis- father glanced at the jurymen,
and then the eyes of the latter sought the
floor His actions showed that ne was nerv-
ing himself to hear the worst and that the
verdict, however severe, would not wholly
crush him. The jury, with the usual for
malities, announced verdict of murder in
the second degree and twenty five years in
the penitentiary. Every one who was in a
position to see the defendant eyed him close
iy to see what effect the verdict had upon
him. During the reading of the sentence he
yed the jury closely, and not muscle of
his face moved enough to betray his feelings.
Colonel Wofford, of counsel for the defense,
gave notice of motion for new trial. and
was given four days to file the motion.
Stein processes to be satisfied he will get a
new trial and be acquitted.

to his decision in the Dred Scott case. One
of the letters says in part "The Chief JUS

white man was bound to respect Judge
Taney never held such an opinion and it is
an insult to his memory to make such an as,

tive TO Judge Taney's feelings toward the COL
ored race. Some thirty years before his
death he freed his slaves This proves that
he was no lover of slavery. On one occasion,
speaking of the coored people, with much
emphasis, he said Thank God that at least
in one placs all men are equal, in the church
of God. do not consider it any degrada-
tion to kneel side by side with a negro in the
house of our Heavenly Father On another
occasion, speaking of the bred Scott decis-
ion, he remarked, that no matter what might
be his feelings in regard to this question of
slavery, his oath bound him to interpret the
law under the Constitution This was his
higher law-the oath he had taken when he
accepted the position of Chief. Justice of the
United States supreme court. purer, a
more conscientious man never wore the err
