sion of the fifteenth annual conference Of

.erday morning, with President Hoyt in the

one. touching upon all the charitable and
corrective institutions in the Golden States.
w. Booker of South Carolina, said that
before the war there was no such thing as
q penitentiary known in his state. 1t was
only after the emancipation of the slaves
that such step was found necessary There
was only one such place in the state, and it
was located at Columbia. There are about
one thousand convicts in it, 950of these are
colored people. The principal work is on
farms hui there are manufactures in the
institution.
Mr.. s,inbore presented the report of
Texas, and DR.. J. II. Vivian that Wiscon-
sin.
Ex-Governor Lucius Fairchild, of Wis
consin, was then introduced. He said he
had not come with any prepared address,
but simply to testify his thanks and appre.
citation of what state boards of charities
are doing for the people. He spoke of the
charities of his state and took pride in
stating that Wisconsin had established a
home where a dependent soldier could go,
and not only dependent soldier, but bis
wife as we'll He always thought that the
good wife who stood by the soldier from
1861 To 1868 should not be separated from
her husband in their declining yearA The
Meeting then adjourned.

AN OPERATORS MISTAKE
Causes a Collision on the Pennsylvania
A Number of Passengers Injured.

A Number of Passengers Injured.
wILKEsBARRE, Pa, July Two passen-
ger trains on the Pennsylvania railroad
collided yesterday morning between this
city and Nanticoke. They were Pottsyille
trains going in opposite directions. Both
engines were completely wrecked and the
smoker and two coaches attached TO each
other were more or less mashed. There
were over two hundred passengers on the
trains and the escape from fatal results is
miraculous.
The cause of the disaster was q blunder
on the part of Operator Beidleman, of this
CITY, who should have held the up train at
Nanticoke, but omitted to do so. A mo
ment afterward he thought of his neglect
and asked Wilkesbarre if the down train
had passed that point Word came that it
had gone by He then asked Nanticoke if
the up train had passed there, and the
same reply was given. knowing that a
collision was unavoidable he took TO the
woods and has not been seen since.
Tie following is the list of casualties:
Conductor Meyer, slightly hurt: Conduc-
tor Griswold slightly hurt; Engineers
Dietrith and Ulmer and two firemen,
bruised by jumping from locomotive; Z. d.
New, q commercial salesman, of Troy, n.
Y, several ribs broken and badly bruised
about the body, now at the Luzerne Hos
pltai, IN TINS clty otephen ". orle, traV-
cling salesman for Proctor & Gamble, OF

Unable to Account for the Deed.

44ttO0--The trienus OF tne Doao 1on
Unable to Account for the Deed.
CLEVELAND, July THE friends Of s.
d. Henderson, who committed suicide at
the Astor House, in New York, On Thurs
day night, are unable to account for the
msais awful deed. He had always, to all
appearances, been in excellent health and
in good spirirs. Mr.. Henderson was in his
forty-eighth wear, and is survived by his
wife and three children. For two years he
had been the manager of the Gordon Lamp
and Brass Works. and he was in the habit
of taking annual business trips to New
York A year ago, he and Mrs. Hender-
sou made a prolonged stay there. They
started for the metropolis last Sunday,
and intended to be absent three weeks.
Mr. Henderson seemed to look forward to
the trip with the greatest interest, and
anticipated an ENJOYABLE vacation.
A letter received from Mrs. Henderson
last Tuesday said that everything was pro-
crossing favorably, and they were having
pleasant visit. Nothing more was heard
from them until the receipt of telegram
announcing his death yesterday. A rela,
tive of Mr. Henderion stated that he had
not been, 50 far as known, melancholy or
suffering from any cause, and that 1t was
utterly impossible to imagine the motive
that prompted him TO take his life. He
was sent to New York TO consummate q
deal of considerable importauee for the
works, which would indicate tha. his rela-
tions with the company were all right. He
has been with the works two years, and ac-
cording 10 Mr.. Patrick II. keevan, the su-
perintendent he never had any trouble
with the concern.
IF he had" said Mr. Keevan "the com
pany would not have entrusted him with
the mission to go to New York and make
this deal"
Mr. Henderson had the reputation of be-
ing one of the shrewdest managers in the
sewing machine business. He was at one
time manager of the White Sewing Ma
chine Company and he helped TO organize
the Leader Sewing Machine Company. At
that time he was well-to-do, but he pnet
with financial reyerses and went to the
wall, which caused him to accept a position
with the w. ]. Gordon lamp and brass COM
pany.
An autopsy made by Deputy Coroner
Herold this morning showed that the mans s
death was due to carbolic acid poisoning.
Evidences of this were plainly visible in
the scorched condition of the deceased
mouth and the extreme Inflammation OF
the interior walls of the stomach. Some
little time doubtless elapsed after the man
took the fatal draught before the antidote
was administered. Remnants of the latt II
were still discernable, but the acid bad
done its fatal work before il was used The
result reached demonstrated that the man s
death was his own doings entirely, and the
suspicious which rested on his wife are dis
PEELED. The woman has been under the
surveillance of the police through the
night Coroner Eidman having deemed this
precaution necessary, III view of all the d!.
vumstances surrounding the case.

Desper ate Conflict Between Parties o
Poles and HnnEs.

PIrrssURG. Pa, July IA epecial says:
A terrible conflict occurred at Jessup,
I.ackaYanna county, between parties OF
Polanders and Hungarians.
The riot was the result of bitter race
feelings existing for some time, owing to
some trouble at Dolph's mines. where they
were employed. Andrew kanowisky, the
leader OF the Polish faction, was attacked
BY tie Hungarians at his home and fled
from the back door to the saloon of Mich
ael I'ano, where the doors were at once bar
rica,ied TO prevent the attacking party get
ting in.
The latter were determined to secure
their man and, forcing down the doors
dragged him out in the roadway. beating
him with stones and clubs, and defying
those who came to his help. They soon
pounded him to death. The Hungarian
the, began celebrating their crime by
drunken carousal. The leade of the party,
Michael o. Lannick, Andrew Cunisky and ].
Ha.way, were secured by the sheriffs dep
uties at noon and taken to the Scranton
Jail. There has never been an Occurrences
so brutal in iIs character in this region.

THE DYNAMITE PLoT.


tiOhdl DeNeioPhtehts
CHICAGO, July 7.-Engineer John A.
Bauereisen, Chief of Aurora Division of
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. who
was arrested at Aurora yesterday, charged
with completely in the alleged dynamite
plot to destroy the Burlington railroad
property, was brought TO this city and
taken before Commissioner Hoyne. The
trial was set for July l3, and Bauereisen
held in s, 200 bonds, which were promptly
furnished. Engineer Baucreisen is good
natured, well-fed man, and took his arrest
very cody. He talked freely and was half
inclined To laugh at the whole thing. He
declares he does not know why he should
be arrested, and that he did not know of
the arrest of the other men until the Off
GERS told him this morning. He knows
Bowles, who is member OF his division,
but knows nothing of the other men.
1t is given out that within the next few
days a large number of locomotive engi-
neers belonging TO the Brotherhood will be
arrested, and by the day OF the trial there
will be quite an array before the commls-
sioner TO answer the general charge placed
against those already in the clutches of the
law. The three men arrested last night
are still in Jail having been SO far unable to
get bail The arrest would have occurred
last night but at that time there was little
or no evidence lHat tutel DautICiSch hhc"
anything about the transportation OF
dynamite. Certain it was that he did
not know of the arrest of the three
men who had the nitro glycerine
cartridges in their possession. II was sur
missed that the recovery of that letter
which Broderick threw out of the car win
dow after he was placed under arrest on
the Burlington train yesterday was the
cause of the arrest of the Fourth man this
morning. Neither the deputy marsha! who
made the arrest nor any of the % officials
would say what the letter contained, but
they spoke in such a significant way that it
is almost certain the letter contained the
names of some prominent members OF the
Brotherhood, and also some details in re-
gard to contemplated plans for operating
and employing dynamite that will produce
q sensation when they are made public at
the trial next week.
