THANKSGIVING CHARITIES.


Superintendent Perry balanced up the ac-
count of his stewardship as distributor and
collector of the Thanksgiving charities yes
terday. The sum total of the charity, which
was so spontaneously and gracefully donated,
and thankfully received by the poor and the
unfortunate, was $4i2.20. OF this sum,
$375.9o was variously expended, leaving a
balance of $39.62. Among contributions
not previously fully acknowledged, were IS
from the r. A. B. Club, collected from
among the dancers at their ball Wednesday
evening, and $42.3O, twenty five pounds of
-four and four cans of oysters from the
friends of Detective Connolly.
OF the perishable goods, quite quantity
was given to "The Little Sisters" and like
quantity to the u. B. A. Home and St.
Marks Home. To make the balance COM
plete and the distribution as equitable as pos
sible, the latter institution will be given the
balance of cash ON hand. Too much credit
cannot be given to the Committee, Messrs.
Houseman, Weston and Perry, and those
who assisted them in their work of charity
and love. Officer Howell, the expert driver
of the Police van, deserves special mention
for the interest, care and kindliness he
showed in helping in the work of distribu-

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 28.-The active meas
ures recently taken by the sheriffs of Hook
ing, Athens and Perry counties, seconded by
the officers of the G. II. V. IL Il. X. X. Co.
coal exchange syndicate operators indicating
a determined and persistent effort To end the
mining troubles, is likely soon to prove sue
cessful. Already over thirty of the intimi-
dators have been placed in Jail and indlct-
ments found in a majority Of cases. 1t is
believed the United States forces will be
brought into use to gather in large number
who have been intimidating others, making
attacks upon guards and persons whom they
wished to prevent from working at reduced
rates. The Buchtel miners are again running
to their fullest capacity, and work III the
others is being gradually increased. One
hundred and sixty live cars were loaded In
the Hooking Coal and Iron Company's mines
yesterday, which indicated that the trouble
is virtually ended.

COMPLETED HIS INVESTIGATION
Inspector Davis, of New York, is Prob
ably a BIackmailer.

BosroN, Nov. 2s.--A Washington special
says: Assistant Secretary Coon this morn
ing completed and handed to Secretary Nc
Culioch. the results of the investigation
which has been made into the charges
against Theo. Davis, Tea Inspector of New
York. Davis is accused of blackmailing six
Boston tea-importing firms out of 500 each,
which they paid rather than subject them
selves to the annoyance which he would be
able TO infict upon them. Secretary Nc
Culloch said TO Record correspondent this
forenoon he did not think ii best that the
names of the Boston houses should be made
known until he had decided the case which.
be expects to do in few days. In admit
ting that he received money, Davis says it
was for pay as lobbyist, in getting tea leg
Islation through Congress. This will not
help him much at the Secretary's hands,
especially as the evidence brought TO Coon's
notice is said to be sufficient to have caused
him to recommend Daviss dismissal. Davis
is New York politician, who was appointed
by Judge Folker.

THE WATSON SEDUCTION CASE
Every Effort will be Made to Secure a
New Trial.

The verdict of $4,000 damages awarded
the plaintiff in the Watson versus Watson
seduction case, was q genuine surprise to
many who listened to its details, but to none
more so than to the defendants attorneys.
In conversation last evening with Mr..
Maynard, of the defence, a TELEGRAM re-
porter learned from that gentleman, that
during the time, forty days, which has been
granted by the court for a stay of proceed
ings, every effort will be made to secure a
new trial and in the event of failure the
Supreme Court will be appealed TO. "We
felt perfectly confident of obtaining ver-
dict" said Mr.. Maynard, ''and that we had
established Mr.. Watson's innocence beyond
peradventure. We know he is innocent. by
reason of, if nothing else, his physical inca
pacity to perform the act with which he was
accused, a point which the prosecution did
not even attempt to refute or rebut. Mr..
Watson could have settled the case long ago,
with much less money than the verdict calls
for. bat his honor would have been COM
promised and that he will defend 10 the
bitter end. He is in moderate circumstances
and lives quietly on a small farm not far
from this city. We still have strong hopes of
securing iustlce for him.

Patti Rosa's Engagement at Redmond's

Patti Rosa's Engagement at Redmond S
-" Lights O. London"
An avalanche of local new prevents The
TELEGRAM going into detail and saying the
many good things it would like to in praise
of Patti Rosa's "Mizpah" and her excellent
company. The bright, sparkling little SOU
brette was greeted with full houses at Red
mond's on Thanksgiving afternoon and
evening, and also by well-filled house last
night. Some have located Patti Rosa in the
Minnie Palmer school. Why Minnie Pal
mer should be credited the founder of a
school she never originated is unexplained.
Patti Rosa is original, and, in the main part
of her acting, displays peculiar style un-
like any cotemporary soubrette. She is bet
ter than ever, full of life and vigor. She
sings well and dances gracefully, being ac-
corded many recalls. The play, though not
strong in plot, is just what the public like
because it is full of fun and frolic.
The supporting company all contribute ma
terially and effectively in making the play
amusing. Mr.. John w. Dunno, thoroughly
capable an intelligent actor, acting as An
tome Mdrdi, that was remarkable for Its con-
sistency, grace, and evidence of withheld
force Misses Lester and Williams were
also, conspicuous for good work. The play
will be re repeated this afternoon, and the en-
gagement will close with to-night's enter

a CoIored Citizen freed.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. 28.-W. ID. Parsons,
a farmer of the third district, while passing
near Newbridge, saw the body colored man
hanging on small dogwood tree just off the
highway yesterday. The feet were within
six inches of the ground. Parsons, upon
examination, found the corpse to be that of
George Briscoe, colored desperado. Parsons
notified DIR. Crane, and Coroner Jacob. A
jury was at once summoned, and after a
short deliberation rendered verdict that
the deceased came TO his death by hanging
Mt the hands of unknown parties. The
lynchers, who ever they may be, kept their
own counsel, and it is impossible to suspect
their identity.
