Further Testimony in the Laverty
Trial at Trenton.
Tennessee Negroes Lynched--A Texa:
Alderman Killed.
The Laverty Trial Continues.

Special to the Globe.
TRENTON, n. j., March 30.-The La
verify trial was resumed to-day with an
immense crowd in attendance. Pictures of
Minnie Sehaefer and her baby were sold
around the corridors of the state house and
were eagerly purchased. Minnie Schaefer
completed her cTOSS-eXaminatiOn this
morning. She was sharply questioned as
to the occasions when she alleged she had:
been assaulted. She contradcted Herself a
number of times, and admitted that she was
sent to the penitentiary in jersey City when
she was but IA years old. She said the
keeper solicited her three times before he
succeeded in aSSaulting her. He first sue
ceeded in accomplishing his purpose on the
floor of the smOking-roOm. After that she
was assaulted in various rooms. Minnie
fatty denies that she ever tlirted with
any of the convictS or was intimate
with any of them in the cellar of
the prison. She also denied that she ever
conspired with Annie LenhaIdt and others
to get money out of the keeper. The keeper
promised to give her money when she left,
but he did not. The $50 that came to her
in a blank envelope after she
reached Paterson, she believes came from
Laverty, but she didn't know. Martha
Marsh, ex-matrOn of the prison, said she
was sent by Mrs. Laverty to Lizzie Garral-
nant to ask her why she was punished by
separate confinement for a month at time.
Lizzie said it was because she had said the
keeper assaulted her. Lizzie said that was
the truth, but afterward retracted it.

Great Fire Key wist.

KEY WEST, Fla, March 3O.-Fire started
in the San Carlos theater at O'clock this
morning, and is still burning and is beyond
the control of the firemen. A fresh wind
blowing from the south has caused the fire
to spread. The fire will probably go to the
harbor. The Episcopal and Baptist churches
have been burned. Over fifty houses have
been already burned, including Masonic
hall, three or four cigar factories and the
bonded warehouse, containing nearly
quarter of million dollars worth of to-
baccO. Officers from the United States
steamers Brooklyn and Powhatton
have been blowing up some
of the houses with powder.
There is no water supply, the eisterns being
mostly dry. II is now settled that the fire
will not stop until it reaches the harbOr. 1t
is now entering the business part of the
city destroying buildings containing heavy
stocks OF goods, and the loss will be very
great. 1t looks now as though the Hotel
Russell would Succumb shortly. The fire is
working north. The track has been so
peculiar that it is difficult to fortell the re-
suit. The indications are that it will skirt
the beach, taking the wharves and ware
houses. AIcGarvy'S warehouses having
already been consumed. This will bring it
to the United States naval depot and Gus
toms house. The buildings, with the eX-
ception OF three warehouses, are constructed
of yellow pine, and the heat is so intense
as to drive the firemen back.
The fire subsidized at o'clock. The prin-
eipal part of the town has been burned.
Six wharves and five brick warehouses
were destroyed. The loss will reach nearly
81. 500. 600, with insurance of about $780,
600. Fifteen persons were injured, of whom
six were taken u the marine hospital and
the Others on board the men of war. No

Pathetic Appeal i'm Williams Ma me.
BERLIN, March 30.-HeT Won Putt
kamer, Prussian minister of the interior,
in the reichstag to-day made a personal
appeal on behalf of Emperor William for a
continuance of the anti-socialistic law. In
the course of his address he exclaimed:
In the emperors name and by the emper-
or's order L assure you that his majesty
would regret profoundly and grieve deeply
if the prolongation of the anti-socialist law
is refused. The emperor would shed his
blood in order TO maintain the law.
DR.. Puttkamer referred TO the Socialist
troubles in Belgium, which. he said, threat
ened the peace of Europe. 1t behOoved
Germany, he continued, TO devise measures
TO prevent such disorders. Had Belgium
possessed laws forbidding the publication of
socialistc pamphlets and the holding of
socialist meetings. the recent troubles
would probably have been ayerted. The
Belgians were Catholics, but the church had
proven unequal to coping with one out
break of wild passion. Germany'S strong
monarch. one of the most solid bulwarks of
order, was able and prepared to crush the
slightest SocialiStic movement. The
proiongation of the anti-sOcialistic
law was intended as a preventive measure.
DR.. Windtherst said he failed TO see any
connection between the Belgian disorders
and German socialism. DIR. Won Puttkamer
in reply said that according to newspaper
reports Germans instigated the strikes in
Belgium. lie wished chiefly TO point out
that the inadequate laws of Belgium had
rendered disorders possible, but he denied
that German Socialists were implicated in
the troubles. The Belgian BOgois con-
stantly and wilfully sought to create serious
disorders, and the government itself pro-
yOked trouble. Herr Bebel called the
speaker to order, whereupon the speaker
denounced Bebel and Herr Most as
dangerous agtators. The debate was ad-
iOurned until Tomorrow

LOGAN,s ROONI RURsTED
BY His Introduction OF the Army
Increase Bill.

BY His Introduction OF the Army
Increase Bill.
Special TO the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-The presiden-
tial boom of Senator Logan has suffered
within few days because he happened un-
fortunately to report his bill for the increase
of the regular army contem p0raneous with
the st. Louis strikes. The laboring interests
over the country have got it into their heads
that the proposition 10 enlarge the army
comes as menace to them, and for this
reason the wOrkingmen are not apt to throw
up their hats for the presidential candidate
who champions such a bill. 1t may be
added, too, that the friends of Blaine in
the senate have taken advantage of
this opportunity to denounce the bill.
Plumb of Kansas, who is devoted friend
to Blaine, vigorously denounced it. The
dangers from Indian wars, he said, was
constantly becoming less, and he had been
sorry to hear the suggestion that an in
creased army was necessary to put down
local troubles among our own people.
This was either a republican government
of the people, or it was not. When
the army was to be called on to put down
local troubles it would be because public
opinion had not done its perfect work. 1t
would not do to instill into the peoples
mind this lesson of force on remedy
for such troubles, and of all forms
of force the use of an army as the
exercise of power by the general
government was the most Objectionable. AS
TO the Monroe doctrine there was no need
of an army on that account. The great
mistake was in not disbanding the regular
army altogether at the close of the war and
dispensing its officers among the militia
force to drill and perfect the force.

ROCHESTER,, Wis, March 30.-At 1920
this morning an alarm of fire aroused the
inhabitants of the usually quiet village of
Dorchester. The fire started from some
unknown source in the building owned
and occupied by Shaefer Bros, as
store and residence. This building was
a total loss before the alarm was
generally sounded and it was by rapid work
that the inmates were able to get out alive
and in their night clothes. A brisk north
wind rapidly spread the fire to several ad-
joining buildings and before the fire could
be controlled everything on Main street as
far as the Central house was in ashes.
The following is list of the losses and
insurance:

NOTroODS Moved Vet.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 30.-The gov
ernor has been in receipt of numerous tele-
grams to-day from East st. Louis. He is
retcent upon the subject OF what they con-
tain. but from occasional remarks made it
can easily be inferred that he does not
think that the use of troops is necessary
yet. and is in strong hopes that there will
be no occasion for ordering troops out.
Adit. Gen. Vance has been in East st.
Louis all day. The Fifth and Eighth regi-
ments of the militia have been ordered to
hold themselves in readiness to go at a mo-
ments warning. Ammunition has been is
sued and arrangements have been positively
made for the troops. OF the Fifth regi-
ment the following five companies will be
started first: Company B, Capt.
A. Croaker, Taylorville; Company G, Capt
BrinkerhOff, Springfield; Company D, Capt
William Risser, Carthage; Company Z,
Capt. James COnar, Petersburg; Company
G, Capt. w. c. Wilson, Virden. Of the
Eighth regiment the first battalion to move
will be these companies. nearest to East ST.
Louis: Company f, Greenville; Company
/, Vandalia; COmpanyL, Sparta, and Com
pany NJ, Marion. The remaining COM
panies of the regiments it is said, will be
held as reserves. 1t appears absolutely inn
possible to obtain any reliable information
through official sources. All concerned are
silent and evasve, and it is only by put
ting straws together that any conclusions
can be drawn.

WASHINGTON AND MONTANA.
Enabling Acts introduced i'm the
Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The senate
continued debate on the bill to increase the
efficiency of the army. Mr.. Logan said
that to imply any notice but a proper one
for this bill was unworthy of debate. Mr..
Teller thought it a merit to have been in
the army. but he had yet to learn that SER
vices in the field especially qualified a man
for legislative functions. MeSsrs. Logan
and Teller then engaged i'm tilt on the
insinuatiOn that the former had made
himself offensive by charging that there was
combination of senators to defeat the
bill. Debate on the army bill then closed.
and Mr.. Platt addressed the senate on the
Washington Territory bill, which he
charact erized as an enabling act. He gave
statistics of the population and resources of
the territory, and asserted that on this
showing it was entitled to admission as a
state. Mr.. Platt would not discuss the
matters that had occurred there in regard
TO the Chinese. Whatever had been done,
the people had dealt VITA II themselves,
and they were as weA qualified to deal with
matters affecting themselves and to be a
state, as the people of California, Oregon,
and other states having similar questions to
deal with. Even in Ohio a year and half
ago there were occurrences far more dan
gerous and far-reaching than any occur
rences i'm Washington territory. Why
then should not the territory be admitted?
Mr.. Voorhees, introduced bill for the
admission of Montana Territory in place of
the bill originally introduced by him. The
bill now introduced, Mr.. Voorhees, said,
was an enabling act, while the first bill
provided for the immediate admission OF
the territory. After an executive session
the senate adjourned.

Great Damage by Floods in Ten
Hessee.

nessee.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 30.-Un-
precedented rains have fallen in this section
for the past forty-eight hours, the total
rainfall varying from eight TO ten inches
throughout the upper Tennesse watershed.
At o p. m. the river here marked thirty-five
and half feet, and was rising at the rate
of ten inches per hour. Adyices from above
indicate that the rise will reach forty-hve
and may be fifty feet. No trains on any OF
the eight railroads have left or arrived since
last night, and there are no pros
poets of traffic being resumed to-
morrow on the East Tennessee rail-
road. Heavy washOutS and slides
have occurred. On the Cincinnati Southern
the bridge at Rock Greek has been carried
away. The tracks of the Nashville IS
Chattanooga, Alabama, Great Southern and
Memphis dE Charleston railroads at the foot
of Lookout mountain are undermined and
the bridges in the vicinity are in danger.
No damage of consequence can be done here
unless the river uses over forty-eight feet.
Dispatches to the Times from lockwood,
Tenn, says that zoe feet of the railroad
track washed out and the Tennessee coke
ovens of the Road Iron company are
badly damaged. At Emery Gap Emery
run marks seventy feet, and the bridge
over the Cincinnati Southern road is in
danger. At Dayton, Tenn, the backwaters
are inundating the town and many are
driven from their homes. AT Rising Fawn,
Ga, the water flooded the coal mines and
one miner was drowned. The Rising Fawn
furnace was compelled to shut down, and a
coal famine is apprehended at Dayton and
lockwood unless traffic is speedily resumed,
and the same is probable here, which will
compel the largest iron plants to shut
down

The ChnrIerni strike Ended.

BRUSSELS, March 30.-The strike in the
Chareroi districts ended this evening. The
civic guard has been dlsbanded. NJ. Bern
aert, the minister OF finance. made a speech
in the chamber of deputies to-day on the
subject of prevailing labor troubles. He re-
ferred TO the depression that has existed i'm
all branches of business for the past eight
years, and said that capital invested in
collieries was yielding only per cent. in
terest. The rioting of the last few days.
he said, was chiefly the work of convicted
felonS and the dregs Of society, and this
fact justified the stern military measures
which had been adopted for the repression
of the outbreaks. The government,
he added. would do IFS utmost
to assist unemployed w0rkingmen, an ID
with this object in view would soon ask for
a credit of As, 600, ,000 francs, which was in
tended to be used in the extension of rail-
roads. WOrkmen employed in the merino
factories at Diant and a number of quarry
men at Econssites were out on a strike to-
day. NJ. Coulle, of the Paris Socialist
paper, Cri du Peuple, was arrested upon
his arrival at Charleroi to-day and con-
Quoted back to the frontier. The quarry
owners in the Tournay district have de-
cided to restore the scale of wages in effect
last September. hoping thereby to settle the
present troubles.

ST. LOUIS, March 3O.-Three hundred
and fifty men employed by the st Louis
Transfer company reported for duty at
the regular hour this morning, and when
about to begin their duties were told by
the superintendent of the company that it
had been decided to furnish them protec-
ton by detailing a squad of deputy United
States marshals to accompany them during
the day and guard them against molesta-
ton by the strikers. This was what the
men were waiting for, and they imme-
diately struck, declaring they wanted no
protection. No freight can now be brought
across the TO this city, for the ferry is the
only means of transfer, and this new strike
renders that useless, for no trains can be
procured to do the necessary hauling from
the railway to to river landings.

Other ROuudIy.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The house
went into committee of the whole on the
pOstoffice appropriation bill. Mr.. J. NJ.
Taylor of Tennessee defended the post
master general. Mr.. Dingley of Maine at
tackled Mr.. Villas policy. Mr.. Blount said
the president was equally to blame, as were
all the members Of the cabinet, but he ar
gued that the postmaster general had COM
mitted no error, having only exercised q
Just and wise discretion. Mr.. Springer
thought the encomiums of congress due TO
the postmaster general. Mr.. Houk of Ten
neSsee criticised the administration and the
first assistant postmaster general for chang
ing the location of postoffices in Tennessee.
This action he denominated as the most out
rageous and Infamous action which had
ever been perpetrated upon any community.
He did not know from " hat influence this
came unless it came from a man who had
paid himself salary out of the childrens'
school fund two years after he went out of

body else on earth. have the record if you
come around privately.

to assassinate a character. and this is unmiti-
gated assassination he should have the bold
ness to do it like man.

privately or to meet you in any other way.
Mr.. McAIillin-No man ought 10 attempt to
do that indirectly which he has not the bold
ness TO do directly. / undertake TO say that
the man he is attempting to reach is the
equal of any man he can boast of. and will
not, uRder the rules of the house. say how far
he is the superior of this individual CMr
Houk) in all that constitutes manhood.
Mr.. Houk-There are plenty of men on
Pennsylvania avenue who are the superiors
of my colleague.
Mr.. McMillin-I would expr ess the opin-
ion, If it were parliamentary, that there are
men in the penitentiary who are the superiors
of my colleague.
Mr.. Houk-I have no doubt that my coll
leagues superiors have been hanged in pris-
ons
After this exchange of compliments the
matter was dropped and the committee
rose. Mr.. Randall of Pennsylvania asked
unanimous consent to offer the following
resolution:
Resolved. That committee of FIVE men,
bers be appointed. whose duty it shall be TO
investigate the circumstances and causes
attending the killing on the 18th of March,
1886. in Carrolton, Miss. of a number of col
ored citizens of said state.
Mr.. Reagan of Texas objected on the
ground that congress had no Jurisdiction
over the matter, Mr.. Randall then asked
to have the resolution referred. but Mr..
Reagan objected. notwithstanding the re-
quest made by Mr.. Barksdale of Mississippi.
in behalf of the Mississippi delegation, that
there might be no objection. The house
then adjourned.
