The Senate Committee Hears Evidence
Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, D. G., July 9.-The
Senate Tariff Committee have given bear
ings to-day to the manufacturers of cuffs
and collars, of crinoline clothes and tarle-
tons and to parties interested in the silk
schedule. Incidentally a new and inter-
estiug feature of the Chinese, or more
properly, the Japanese cheap labor prob
lem was developed. The silk men stated
there is on sale in New York to-day silk
manufactured and printed in Japan,
similar in quality to that procured in
Lyons, and they promised evidence to the
committee. Their argument. in this con-
nection is that silk manufacturers are
opening establishments in the east to get
the benefit of the chesp labor of those
countries, with which they say it would be
impossible for Americans to compete on
even terms.

THE IRON STRIKE.
Two More Firms Sign the Amalgamste
Scale.

Two More Firms Sign the Amalgamsted
Scale.
PITTsRURG, July 9-The Structural
Iron Company, of New Albany, Ind,
signed the Amalgamated scale, making
nineteen firms that have 80 far granted the
demands of the workmen. The situation
at Singer, Nimick & Co. g works has not
changed. The mill was in partial opera
ton to-day with about 200 men, and the
firm claimed that they would have no
trouble in getting all the workmen neces-
sary to run their plant in full. The Anal
gamated Association and the Knights Of
Labor have declared war against the mill,
and all members who return to work be-
fore the scales are signed will be black
listed.
The galvanizing department of Moore
head, MCLEAN 4 Co. g mill started up this
morning with their old workmen at last
years wages, pending the settlement of
the scale by the other manufacturers. 1t
is understood among the workmen that
this firm will sign the Hcale as soon as they
are ready to start the other departments.
This afternoon the Kittanning Iron
Company, of KittsnniDg, Pa, sent to
President Weihe, of the Amalgamated
Association, for scale, which will be
signed at once. The works will be started
tomorrow, giving employment to five
hundred men, who have been idle since
last spring.
The closing of the iron mills has not as
yet had: any noticeable effect upon the
coal trade, but should the lockout continue
for another week furnaces now in operation
will begin to close, and then will follow
falling off in the demand of coke. There
is now less than 60 per cent. Of the ovens
in operation, and il is predicted that should
the ironworkers' lockout continue another
week, there will be less than 25 per cent.

GAY EL0PERS CAUGHT.
LOrHARIO NO0RB AND HIS L0yR ARRESTED
IN KANSAS CITY,
And the Gallant Editor Languishs In Durancs Vile
No Charge Preferred Agains. Mrs. Norton
Her Husband Excuses Her
Her Past Life.

ST. LOUIS, July "a dispatch was re-
ceived this morning by Mr.. Thornton, an
intimate friend Of Henry W. Moore, dated
Kansas City, and sigued Henry W. Mason.
asking him to forward certain trunk Of
which he had knowledge to Henry Mason,
Copeland House, Topeka, Kansas. This
revealed to Mr.. Thornton the whereabouts
of the runaways and he made the matter
known to the proper parties at once. Mr..
Norton Immediately swore out warrant
for the arrest Of Moore, charging him with
grand larceny in stealing ST. ,000 in money
and about $500 worth of diamond jewelry.
Chief of Police Huebler then telegrsphed
the Chief of Police at Topeka to arrest
Moore, and advices Of his capture are mo-
mentarily expected.
This evening Judge n. Latin, Mr.. Nor
toms attorney, will leave for Topeka,
where he will replevin the property.
A dispatch from Topeka says that Moore,
under his alias W. H. Mason, was arrested
at the Copeland Hotel, between three and
tour o'clock this afternoon. The dispatch
says that Mrs. Norton was also arrested,
but as Mr.. Norton refused to prefer charge
against her or to have warrant Issued for
her, the report Of her arrest must be q mis-
take. She is said to have taken the arrest
of Moore very hard, having broken COM
pletely down and refused to be comforted.
Moore was not taken to Jail, but both
he and Mrs. Norton will be guarded
in their room at the hotel until an officer
arrives from st. Louis. Mrs. Csswell, an
old friend of the Norton's, accompanied
Judge Lsughlin to Topeka tonight, and
will use all her influence to induce Mrs.
Norton to return to this city, or, at least,
attempt to get her out Of the clutches Of
Moore. Mr.. Norton now says that he is
satisfied that his wife has had spells Of
weak mindedness since the birth and death
of her child, about two years ago, and this
has had much to do with her fall.

DOWN WITH THE CASH.
Ohio Delegates Asked to Pony Up on Sher'

Ohio Delegates Asked to Pony Up on Sher'
mans Expense Fund.
FINDLAY, July 9.-The Republicans OF
Ohio are in the midst of a new row and
complication growing out of the Chicago
Convention, the cause of which is another
hotel bill scandal, not unlike the one
which gave the respective friends of ex-
Governor Foster and Senator Sherman food
for comment eight years ago. The trouble
this time was brought about by Mark
Hanna, Of Cleveland, one Of Senator Sher-
mans managers in the late National Con-
vention, drawing upon each of the forty
six district delegates from Ohio for $l5 to
paw for rooms which were used as Sherman
headquarters in Chicago.
E J. Totten. of this city, who was one
of the delegates from the Fifth Congress
sional district, was seen to-day regarding
the SIS assessment to pay for headquarters
for the Ohio candidate, and admitted that
he had receivsd letter from Hanna ask
ing for such sun for the purpose named,
but he was equally. frank in asserting that
not cent Of money would he forward TO
Shermar's manager to liquidate this in
debtedness. Mr.. Totten said further that
this attempt to make district delegates as
sist in paying Shermsn's campaign expen-
ses was an outrage on class Of men who
in the late convention were shown no
courtesy and consideration whatever by
the Sherman management, although they
ioyally voted for the Senator on every bal
lot, and in return for such service they
were now called upon to assist in paying
the general expenses of the campaign
which Sherman made for the Presidency.
This matter is creating great deal OF
bad feeling all over the State, and the
probabilities are that Ohio Republicans
will have q good many sores growing out
of the Chicago Convention to exhibit to
the country before the campaign ends.

THE CIRCULAR ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN
WRITTEN BY CHAIRMAN H0GB,
Instucting Burlington Engnssrs to Accept Work and
Disable Their Engines - Grave Charges Made
by Burlington 0ficials-fhe Sit
nation al Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 9.-There were no fur
ther developments to-day in the alleged
dynamite plot.
The circular in which it is alleged Chair
man Hoge, Of the Burlington strikers
Grievance Committee, invited members OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen to apply for work on the
Burlington, and to come prepared with sal
soda and emery, to the end that if given
employment they might ruin the engines
committed to their care, will play very
important part in the sensational proceed
ipgs that are likely to be the outcome Of
the present agitation, II is not decided by
the railroad officials whether suit will be
instituted for conspiracy for its issuance or
not.
While the railroad officials will say
nothing about the testimony which they
possess upon any of the interesting points,
it is learned that they place much conf
dence in the circular to relieve them from
anu lublnCcIIty tuht may baNC al ioOh ~ sAIS
public mind. The circular, it is claimed,
came into the hands of Freight Agent Nor
ton indirectly from an engineer OF rail-
road other than the 20" running into
Chicago, and Brotherhood man. But
few copies had been sent out when knowl-
edge of the circular and its criminal ad-
vice came to Chiefs Arthur and Sargent.
Both these officials, it is claimed, coun-
seled with Hoge Immediately, and discon-
tinued the circular, and forbade its further
circulation.
Mr.. Stone said last night: 1--WE have
positive proof that Mr.. Hoge prepared that
circular at the Grand Pacific Hotel and
caused it to be sent to the various divisions
of the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engi-
neers and Firemen." When asked as to
the nature of the evidence Mr.. Stone re-
fused to talk.

Another Arrest,

CHICAGO. July 9.-Another arrest was
made in connection with the Burlington
alleged dynamite plot to-day. This
morning U. s. Marshal Marsh, with a
deputy and two detectives, went
to Aurora and arrested George Gooding, a

for the Burlington road in vari-
ous capacities for seventeen years, and
is q highly respected citizen Of
Aurora. He was brought to Chicago on a
special train this evening and taken TO the
Marshal's private Office, where he was ex-
amined for an hour by Marshal Marsh
and the Burlington's attorneys.
After this Goodiug was taken before
United States Commissioner Hayne and
held in $1,000 bail for examination
with the other prisoners on the
charge of aiding in tbs trsnspor-
tation of high explosives contrary

Mrs, Norton's Career as IN Actress In
Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Md, July g. Emma
Stockman was we'll known here, having
made her debut under the management Of
John T. Ford. Long before she thought
of going on the stage she had acquired
reputation as a danseuse. She was in
structed in the Terpsichorean art by Prof.
Spies, we'll known and popular dancing
master of this city, and 80 rapid was her
progress that she was soon recognized as
the premiere of the institution. Though
somewhat heavily built, considering her
age, she was remarkably agile aud light of
foot. Here attitudes were exceedingly grace
ful and her execution perfect. Her old
teacher always referred with pride to the
fact that he had developed her wonderful
talent. She was ney er precocious nor for
ward; on the contrary, her behavior was OF
the modest, retiring kind. Her father al
ways accompanied her to the dancing acad
envy, and took her home when the exercises
were w nliC you III hCi tcSbo phO
developed fondness for the stage. Old Mr..
Stockman, her father. who kept saloon on
East street, as we'll as her mother, did not fs-
vor this step, but the girl was determined,
and finally they consented. Manager Ford
consented to give her trial, and her per-
formance was go satisfactory that he gave
her q regular position as utility woman in
his stock company, of which Rosa Rand,
now the wife Of naval officer, was leading
lady, George Howard was the comedian,
and Leslie Gassin was the leading man.
She rose rapidly in her profession, and in
one season became the most useful men,
Der of the company. When she made up
her mind to 90 on at Ford's, her father
constituted himself a body guard,
whose vigilance knew no relaxation.
He accompanied her to and from the
theater, and woe to the languish-
ing admirer that waited at the stage
door for the sweet soubrette. Stockman
pere swept by him with freezing glance,
and was frequently overheard warning mis-
pretty chick not to even look at the love-
sick young admirers, who waylayed her
untiringly until they found it to be Of no
avail. Her experience at Ford's enabled
her to obtain good position in Richmond
stock company. She subsequently, becam

company, where she first met John W.

have followed her around from town to

ST. LOUIS, July 9.-To-day was the time

by the attorneys of Hugh NJ.
Brooks, alias Maxwell, for the COM
of sentence for the murder
of Preller. But the Governor
had received such a number of appeals,
petitions and letters from all parts Of the
State, which he thought the attorneys
ought to examine before beginning their
that he postponed the argument
until tomorrow.
Mrs. Brooks and her daughter had an
interview with the Governor and made an
earnest appeal TO him to save their son
and brother from the gallows. He lis
tened to them attentively and said he
would give the case the benefit of his very

ARE THEY MARRIED?

Agitating New York.
NEW YORK, July 9.-His Grace the
Duke of Marlborough and Mrs. Hammers
ly, in spite OF the Mayor, clergyman and
mayoralty kiss, are perhaps only the Duke
of Marlborough and Mrs. Hammersly.
1t seems, after all, says the Herald TO-.
day, from what the lawyers say, that the
good people who assembled in the pleasant
corner room in the City Hall ON Friday,
June 81, did not see what they thought
they had and what they went out to see
a wedding. They witnessed q ceremony.
but the lawyers say it was not marriage,
because il is void. Void according to the
laws of the State of New York.
Serious doubts can be properly enter
tanned az to the legality of the marriage,
and further-innocently enough, to be
sure-the Duke is possibly guilty of big
amy under the law of this State, and the
Duches, or Mrs. Hammersly, likewise.
Several members of the bar were visited
by reporter at their offices in regard to
the question of the validity of the marriage
of the Duke of Marlborough to Mrs. Ham
mersly on Friday, June 20. 1t was first
performed, as everybody remembers. by
Mayor Hewitt, and afterward by the Rev
DR.. D. G. Potter. The reporter found that
many Of the lawyers had taken down
their books aud had considered not
only the case, but the case of men
who, if similarly situated, might
seek to enter into the condition of mstri-
mony in this State. While they were not
inclined to give opinions over their names
without first giving more time to the study
of the statutes, they very generally agreed
in saying that under the laws Of the State
of New York, the marriage Of the Duke of
Marlborough to Mrs. Hammersly was ''in
reality either no marriage at all, because
absolutely void, or at least a marriage of
such an extremely dubious nature that q
serious question is presented whether the
would not be held to be abso-
lutely void should the question of its
validity ever arise in the courts of the
State Of New York.
After careful consideration Of the views
of the lawyers interviewed it is apparent
that the exact marriage status Of the Duke
is dubious, to say the least. Whether it
would be declared valid or invalid de-
pends largely upon the place where the
question is raised. In this State it would
probably be decided invalid, and in Eng
land possibly valid.
1t seems absurd to think His Grace Of
Marlborough is, perhaps, guilty of bigamy,
but so it seems upon considering the law
of this State. Our statutes in regard to
bigamy and marriage are very closely
allied to one another.
