Peculiar Ending of n Suit Full of
Exciting Episodes.
Special TO the Globe.

NpSClsl 10
LEBANON, Tenn. April 1O.-No more
exciting trial has occurred in Tennessee
than the McDaniel-Scobey seduction suit at
Lebanon, which ended to-day in a remark
able and unexpected manner. A. ID.
ScObey, teacher in the normal school at
Winchester, Tenn, was arrested at
the instance of Miss Bette Nc
Daniel, and charged with intimacy
with her. He was carried to Lebanon
for examination, which was begun
yesterday. Just before The trial began
there occurred dramatic incident which
stirred the whole court room. The fair
victim had heard the argument quietly, and
no word had escaped. Suddenly she
walked up TO ScOOey. and laying her hand
firmly on his shoulder, and looking him
sQuarely in the face said i'm a calm. clear
voice, solemn and impressive. whose notes
penetrated every ear: do you mean to
look Inc in the face and say before God and
in the presence of the good people
of Lebanon that you are not guilty?"
She paused for a reply, but there was
no time for words. Before Seobey could
open his lips, her father and cousin Louis
sprang to her side. and Scobey thrust his
hand into his inner pocket as if to draw
pistol. The room was a scene of conster-
nation. Only the woman was calm. Officers
rushed to the rescue and
QUIET WAS RESTORED.
The trial then proceeded. For hours
Miss Mcdaniel told the story of her ruin.
She maintained her compOsure during the
whole of that trying ordeal. When the
court adjourned, as the crowd was filing
out, Mcdaniel, the father OF the girl, threw
his hand to his pocket as if to draw a pistol.
A man named johnson sprang
between them and prevented a conflict.
The crowd was greatly excited, and dash
was made for the doors. Peace was re-
stored, and the principal parties to the
affair left the building in apparent quiet
Scobey cOmposedly walked down the street.
He had not gone far before Mcdaniel over
took him and assaulted him. Officers were
on the alert, and before any shooting
could be done both parties were ARRESTED.
This morning after Miss Mcdaniel and
her father had completed their testimony
Scobey announced IN open court his will
tngneSs to marry the woman he had
wronged. and this being agreed to the cere-
mOny was performed by the examining
justice. X. l.. White, in the presence of
over 1000 people, who greeted the unex-
pected result with loud cheers. Pro. SEQ
bey and his wife left in the afternoon for
their country home. The compromise was
suggested by Scobey's attorneys, and he is
generally commended for i'm a measure
righting the wrongs he had inflicted.

One Man X iIIed and Several Injured
L..


LAWRENCE, Mass, April 10.-Fire broke
out at 1880 a. m. to-day in the picker
room of the dye house, the smallest of the
Pemberton mills. and after fierce con-
fiagraiion of three hours the building
which was three stories high and sixty feet
long, was gutted. The loss is S1OO, 600,
fully covered by insurance. At 1890
p. m. the roof fell, CARRYING
down the two floors below and
also fifteen men who were pfghting the
flames. All but four of these men ESCAPED
by clamboring out of the ruins. OF the four
men buried George Mckenzie was soon res
cued, but died at $3.50 p. m. from the effects
of his injuries. George Silva was quickly
eXtricated from the ruins. having sustained
severe but not fatal injuries. John Miller.
a fireman. lay for nearly two hours on the
second floor under a heavy beam,
the flames blazing near him.
Two heroic firemen. Victor Gingras and
Herbert Finn, stood by him, Drawing the

in prying the timber off his body and rescu-
ing him from slow death. Miller's Jaw

dover fire department suffered the amputa-
ton of several fingers. George Quimby
was thrown from an engine and severely
hurt, and Florence Mccarthy had both legs

three weeks to rebuild it. 1t was the only

large mill fell, burying between six and
seven hundred operatives. The ruins took

Arbitration Must Reign.

SCRANTON, Pa, April 10.-Grand Mas
ter Workman Powderly this morning stated
that the rumOr that he was preparing a
statement to the public or the Knights re-
garding the Southwestern troubles was
without foundation. Said he:
The general executive board has done
everything possible for a settlement of the
difficulties, and the responsibility for what
follows rests entirely upon others, and mat
tiers will have to take their own course un-
less arbitration is consented to. If this
is done, then there will be no difficulty i'm
bringing this strike to a speedy close. This
is the only point where trouble exists, and l
believe that the country will never again see
so formidable strike, as employers aud en-
ployes have learned the easiest way of set
tling disputes by arbirration-the corner
stone of the Knights of Labor.
While Mr.. Powderly has improved in
health, he is by no means a well man.

The report comes from Argentine, across

RIVERS AND TTARBORs.
Most Sections Interested Pleased
with the Bill.
Special to the Globe.

Speclal TO the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-Gen. Gros-
venor, who is member of the standing
committee of the house on rivers and harbOrs,
said to-day that the reports coming from all
sections of the country as shown by news
paper comments were very flattering to the
committee:
1.-The bill seems to give general satisfac-
tion to the great Majority" said Gen. GroS-
venor. 1T is true S15,000,000, the sum ap-
propriated by the bill, Is very large, but it
must be borne in mind that the Forty-eighth
congress, at its last session, did not make an
appropriation, its bills having failed. So the
public will not consider this bill ob1ectiona-
BILE on account of the sum appropriated, if
only the details of the bill show
wisdom in the distribution. New
projects are springing up, and new
demands for old ones. Farmers and pro-
ducers of the Northwest demand deep water
and improved waterways to aid them in their
struggle for a footing in the markets of
Europe for their produce. They must trans
port at low rates or India will drive them out
of markets heretofore profitable. Again,
labor is unemployed. 1t is the part of wis
dom to provide employment, and the great
public works can be carried on now for less
money than few years ago. 1t is no time
now to hoard money in the treasury or re-
duce tariff taxation. 1t is better to protect
labor ON the one hand and employ it on the
other.
DEEP WATER
is the great cry of to-day. Our rivers are
our best protectors from monopoly. But
deep water helps the railroads too. We are
going to have deep water straight channel
out of Toledo by the Maumee, and that will
bentiit the fifteen railroads centering in that
city, at the same time aid the miner in the
valleys by increasing his market for
coal. The great harbors on the
Texas coast will furnish highways of
commercial intercourse with Mexico, and
offer to our trade new and splendid develop
ment. The bill gives careful consideration to
the great lakes of the Northwest, in the navi-
CATION of which so many millions of capital
are involved
do unworthy places secure some of tn ese
appropriations
mo doubt. Human wisdom is not infalli-
Bile, and then, too, river and habor bills must
be passed, and to accomplish that votes must
be had and it would be more than could be
expected that every dollar is wisely appropri-
ated.''
Gould you suggest a better system, gen-
eral?'
Possibly. 1 think if we were to appropri-
ate sum in round numbers, say $4,000 200,
and then by means of a commission or by the
agency of the army engineers use the money
some of the defects of the present system
might be avoided, but, after ali, the people
control congress and punish unfaithful men,
bers, and that is strict anchor against bad
appropriations"

officers, aided by the police, arrested nine
teen Italian curbstone vendors of bananas in
Cincinnati for passing counterfeit coin. Ten
of them were held to answer and the others
dismissed. 1t is charged that these men
have been selling bananas at less than cost

MARION, Ind, April 1O.-The case of
Elmer Ryan, charged with horse stealing,
had tragic termination here last night in
the death of the prisoner by suicide.
Shortly after being placed in the lookup
Ryan showed symptoms of poisoning. The
marshal who arrested him stated that
shortly after he had taken him into custody
the prisoner produced a small bottle which
contained white powder, and, holding it
up. remarked: ''You would not
think that was poison, would you?"
He then poured the contents into his
hand, swallowed it and threw the bottle
against freight car. The officer, suppos-
ing the powder was quinine, gave the mat
ter no further attention. Being placed in
jail he called for deck of cards and played
a game of seyen-up with fellow prisoner.
During the game he remarked incidentally
that he had taken arsenic and would be a
corpse before morning. He showed symp-
toms of sickness, but his talk was regarded
as an idle jest. Later physician was sum-
moned, but
HE GREW WORSE
and expired at IL o'clock last evening. DR..
Flynn, who attended him, states his symp-
toms indicated heather arsenic, strychnine
nor belladonna, and post mortem will be
required to determine the cause of his
death. The case in which the death of
Ryan marks the climax presents a strange
and almost unparalleled combination of
circumstances. Four years ago he
was received as a farm hand in
the family of Mrs William Hite, a
wealthy widow, residing ten miles south of
here. A little over two years ago he mar
ried the widows daughter. Twin babies
were born them. Later a cloud enveloped
the Ryan-Hite household, and rumor had it
the mother-in-law had alienated the affec-
tions of her sOn-in-law. The latter part of
last January the dignifed Mrs. Hite
was confined and Ryan jumped the
country to avoid suit for seduction
and other embarrassing conditions. II G re-
appeared last Sunday and hired the out
fit, stating that he wanted to go and see
the children once more before he died. He
ran the outfit off and sold it for SO. He
declined and resisted all medical measures
looking to recovery, stating that death was
preferable to the disgrace and difficulties
that had beSet his path.
