Demanded by the Committee.
Another Attempt to Create a Boom in Con-
federate Bonds-Heavy Purchases by
London Banking Firm.
THE HILL INVESTIGATION.
The Architect Refuses to Produce Certain
Papers Called For.


Papers Called For.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Owing to the ina
bility of Hills counsel to be present to-day,
the cross-examination of General Steinmetz
was deferred till Monday. Quite sensation
was produced to-day in connection with the
Hill investigation. Assistant Secretary New,
chairman of the committee, had just an
nounced that there would be no session for
the day. when Coleman, counsel for Murch,
said with some warmth he wished to call the
attention of the committee to what he re-
garded as a gross impertinence, both to him
self and Mr.. New. He then produced
requisition made several days ago by Murch
upon Hill, for papers relating to the contracts
for statuary for the Philadelphia public
building. The request was indo rsed by Mr..
New, with an order for the production
Endorsement, refusing to furnish the
desired papers, for the reason
that the statuary in question was
not mentioned in the charges being investi-
gated. Coleman characterized the refusal as
an insult to the chairman of the committee
and his (Hill's) superior. Coleman then gave
notice that the prosecution proposed to take
up tne puDlc oullulnSs at o. LOUIS, NhlciSo,
Cincinnati, and other places, and to show
that above $5,000,0 900 of public funds had
been illegally expended.
Murch stated, this evening, that among
the papers which he had been able to extort
from the Supervising Architects office was
one showing that in one instance, after con-
tracts had been made an order had been
made by the architect increasing the compen-
sation of the contractor 25 per cent, 81 per
cubic foot for cutting and polishing stone
for the Philadelphia public building. ''As
to the contract for statuary for that build
ing" said Murch. it was awarded to Assist
ant Secretary French's son, who sub-let it to
another party, who sub-let it to the con-
tractor who is now engaged in erecting it,"

CONFEDERATE BONDS.
A London Firm Buying All 1t Can Find of
the Coupon Issues.

the Coupon Issues.
Washington Special.
Another attempt is being made to get up
boom in Confederate bonds. For some time
past Baltimore stock brokers have been adj
vertising for Confederate State bonds. The
movement in these bonds started some three
years ago, and since that time the purchases
have been very large, one firm alone hand
ling about $50, 900, 900 of them, Baltimore
has been the headquarters for their purchase,
and Europe the destination of the bonds,
orders coming from a large London firm.
When the excitement first began the bonds,
which were considered worthless brought 81
per 81 600. The price subsequently advanced,
and has gone up as high as SIS per s., 900,
though now they are from Sc to s. per 81, 900
for 6, and per cent. bonds. The bonds
are somewhat scarce now, though some
days $4,000 will change hands, and other
days not 500. The dealings are altogether
in coupon bonds with the 1865 or prior
coupons on.s One Baltimore dealer who
makes the Confederate bonds specially has
offers from the South of bonds in lots rang
ing from 100000 to $500, 900. Richmond
brokers and others in the South are purchas-
ing them and sending them to the London
house, the head of which is said to be party
by the name of Moses. North Carolina war
bonds are also being bought for 81 on the
81, 900.
Since the furry began there has been great
rummagng about old closets, chests, boxes,
etc., for the pieces of paper that contained
the promises to pay of the Confederate States
of America. Some bring them into brokers'
offices already framed, having been preserved
as curiosites; Others bring them stiff with
paste, having taken them from the screens
which they have long decorated and it
is even said the bonds have at times been
used for wallpaper by Enthusiastically inclined
people. 1t is safe to say the walls have
needed new papering since Confederate
bonds began to have market value. What
they are being bought for is what no fellow
theory that the purchasers entertain a for
lorn hope of their being paid some day; but
another, and perhaps equally as rational a
theory, has been put forward. During the
late war England did buy some Confederate
securities, and at the close of the war found
them worthless. 1t has been suggested that
the holders still entertain an idea of getting
something back. The present purchasers, it
is said believe the same way. The summing
up OF the theory is that the English holders
look for some omplications to arise be-
tween the two countries, and hope that
in its adjustment England will be in posi-
ton to insist on the United States indem-
nifying the English holders of Confederate
bonds

A STORY OF GRANT.
How the General Resented Proposal to
Hang General Lee.

Wilmington IN. c. Star.
We heard some time ago from a Whining
tonian story that is so creditable to Grant
that We will give it. We had heard it before,
but not in shape calculated to give us con-
fidence in its authenticity. But as we last
heard it. and because of the circumstantiality
attending it, we may no longer diseredit it
After Lincoln's assassination there was
growing sentiment among extreme men
in the North that the Southern lead
ers must be punished and the more
famous men hanged. A cabinet meeting
was called, and it was resolved to hang at least
General Lee and some one or two others it
may be. Grant, at the head of the army,
was sent for and was told what was the ac-
ton of the cabinet. He deliberately I'M
bGakled his sword, and, laying it upon the
table, said: my honor as a soldier and a
man is pledged to General Lee, and if you
take the step proposed at once surrender
my sword, resign my commission and go be-
fore the American people" This frmness
and promptness brought the extreme men to
their senses, and the matter was dropped.
We are assured that this story is trust
worthy, and ID comes through a channel
that entities it to credence. II is honorable
to Grant and shows him in much grander
light than anything he has ever done as

Reported Rape Near Greenfield.

Reported Rape Near Greenfield.
GREENFIELD, June 16.-The little town of
Cleveland, six miles east of this city, on the
Panhandle road, was thrown into great ex-
element by a woman rushing into town pro-
claiming that she had been set upon by a
ruffian and ravished. A posse was soon i'll
hot pursuit, and caught the man in the
woods about two miles away. He was imme-
diately taken before the woman, and she
said he was the destroyer of her honor. The
reporter was early on the scene and inter-
viewed the accused, and he gave his name as
Thomas Gundren and lives at Cleveland, and
denies that he did anything against the lady's
wishes. The lady, who gives her name as
Mrs. Henrietta Bush, is stranger here, and
says that she is returning from California to
her home in Mercer county, Pennsylvania;
that her funds running out she was COM
PEELED to leave the train at this place and
walk the balance of the way. While passing
Cleveland, she says. Gundren approached
her with indecent propositions, which she
resented. He then seized her and dragged
her to ambush, where he accomplished his
hellish designs Gundren was given pre-
liminary trial and bound over to court. He
is a hard character, and there is much feel
ing against him

Mr.. Sheahan was born in Baltimore, Nd,
Feb, % 1924, of Irish parentage He re-
ceived his education in the Jesuit school of
Frederick, of that State, and began the prac-
tice of law in 1915 in the federal courts of
the District of Columbia. His preference,
however, was not for the legal profession
and he began the study of reporting in
which he became very expert, giving accu-
racy in his reports, with quick perception,
and fine imaginative and descriptive pow
ers. His style at this time was light and
entertaining, with a leaning toward
humor. For a number of years he re-
ported the proceedings of Congress for the
press of the District and for the Associated
Press of New York. In 1854 he removed to
Chicago, and in August OF that year he es-
tablished the Chicago Times, making it
paper of great local popularity and influence
and the organ of the Democracy of the North
west He had a keen judgment for ability in
his subordinates, and soon collected staff
that made his paper leader in its influence
in politics and civic affairs. 1t gave its sup
port to Stephen A. Douglas at time when
party lines were very closely drawn and
party feeling ran very high. From 1854 to
1860, Mr.. Sheahan, as manager of the Times
was prominently concerned in all Demo-
cratic movements, and there was no canvass
or caucus that did not show some indication
of his personal influence in molding final
action. Although his labors at this time
were excessive yet he found time to en-
gage in a great deal of miscellaneous
literary work in the shape of addresses to
literary societies, contributions to magazines
and periodicals, and to the preparation of a
full and interesting biography of Senator
Douglas, which was published by the Har-
pers, of New York, in 1860. Mr.. Sheahan
sold the Times in July 1860, to Cyrus H.
Mccormick, and in the following December
started the Post which he conducted until
April 1865, when he sold his interest to the
Republican company. He held an editorial
position upon the latter paper during the adj
ministration of Charles A. Dana, and when
that gentleman retired, Mr. Sheahan accepted
an editorial position upon the Chicago Trib-
une which he filed with rare tact and
ability throughout the successive changes of
management until he was compelled by fail
ing health to retire from his labors. He was
a trenchant and graceful writer, possessing
rare versatility, with vein of racy humor
mingled at times, when occasion called for it,
with keen sarcasm and pointed wit. He was
a man of vast information concerning social
and political questions, and had a great
knowledge of men and measures as is shown
by his writings. He has enjoyed the warm
est esteem and affection of all those with
whom he mingled. He was fond of his home
and his children, though a delightful COM
paniou and entertaining conversationalist
and story teller. His pleasant and comfort
able home was frightened with the presence
of a large number OF children and the mourn
ing family have the sincere sympathy of a
large circle OF friends in their heavy aflic-
ton,
